History of the Name

Our Friday Music, and this time, a amazing song telling the story of the Jewish Ethiopian community and their way to Israel!


The moon watching over above
On my back, the meager bag of food
The desert beneath me, no end in front
And my mama promises my little brothers…

A bit more, a little more
To lift you your legs
A final effort
Before Jerusalem

The strong moonlight scene
Our bag of food got lost
The never-ending desert, the howls of jackals
And my mum calms my little brothers…

Another moment, a little more,
Soon we will be redeemed
We won’t stop going, to the land of Israel

And in the night, bandits attacked
With knives and a sharp sword
In the desert, the blood of my mum, the moon my witness and I promise my little brothers

Just a moment, a little more
The dream will be fulfilled
Soon we will arrive, to the land of Israel

In the moon, my mama’s image
Looking at me. Mum, don’t disappear from me!
If only she was by my side, she would be able to convince them, that I’m Jewish

A moment more, a little more
The dream will be fulfilled
Soon we will arrive, to the land of Israel

A moment more, a little more
Lift your legs
A final effort
Before Jerusalem.

Zion.

one small Zionist story about Chaim Weizmann who was Isrels first president

A member of the House of Lords asked Chaim Weizmann, "Why do you Jews insist on Palestine when there are so many undeveloped countries you could settle in more conveniently?"

Weizmann answered: "That is like me asking you why you drove twenty miles to visit your mother last Sunday when there are so many old ladies living on your street

Chaim Azriel Weizmann was a Russian-born biochemist, Zionist leader and Israeli statesman who served as president of the Zionist Organization and later as the first president of Israel. He was elected on 16 February 1949, and served until his death in 1952. It was Weizmann who convinced the United States government to recognize the newly formed state of Israel.

As biochemist, Weizmann is considered to be the 'father' of industrial fermentation. He developed the acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation process, which produces acetone, n-Butanol and ethanol through bacterial fermentation. His acetone production method was of great importance in the manufacture of cordite explosive propellants for the British war industry during World War I. He founded the Sieff Research Institute in Rehovot, Israel (which was later renamed the Weizmann Institute of Science in his honor), and was instrumental in the establishment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

As long as in the heart, within,
The soul of a Jew still yearns,
And onward, towards the ends of the east,
an eye still gazes toward Zion;

Our hope is not yet lost,
The two-thousand-year-old hope,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

Hatikvah" or "The Hope” is a 19th-century Jewish poem and the national anthem of Israel. The theme of the romantic composition reflects the Jews' 2,000-year-old hope of returning to the Land of Israel, restoring it, and reclaiming it as a free nation. Its lyrics are adapted from a poem by Naftali Herz Imber, a Jewish poet from a place that today is the ukraine.

Friday Music!

Here is the most beautiful song about Zion - Jerusalem of gold!

mountain air as clear as wine
and smell of pines
carried on the wind of dusk
to the sounds of bells

and in the sleepiness of tree and stone
a hostage in her dream
the city which in solitude sits
and in it's heart a wall

Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin
Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin

how is it the wells have dried
the market place is empty
and no man comes to the temple mount
in the ancient city

and in the tunnel in the stone
howling winds
and no man descends to the dead sea
through the path of Jericho.

Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin
Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin

but as I come today to sing you
and to praise you
I am smaller then your youngest child
and from the last of the poets

for your name burns the lips
as a kiss of resin
if I will forget you Jerusalem
made all of gold...

Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin
Jerusalem of gold
and of copper and of light
for to all of your melodies
I am the violin

ירושלים של זהב- שולי נתן [HQ] Jerusalem's old city ,photos & hebrew song "Jerusalem of gold - Shuli Nathan"

Can you guess how many times Zion is mentioned in the bible?

you probably know the answer if you listened to our new podcast episode!

"Zion is definitely a journey sometimes"

have you ever hikes up angels landing in Zion National Park ?

How many types of Zionism can you name?

lets see down in the comments bellow!!

Types of Zionism - Wikipedia The principal common goal of Zionism was to establish a homeland for the Jewish people. Zionism was produced by various philosophers representing different approaches concerning the objective and path that Zionism should follow.

Theodor (Binyamin Ze'ev) Herzl, the visionary of Zionism, was born in Budapest in 1860. He was educated in the spirit of the German-Jewish Enlightenment of the period, learning to appreciate secular culture. In 1878 the family moved to Vienna, and in 1884 Herzl was awarded a doctorate of law from the University of Vienna. He became a writer, a playwright and a journalist. The Paris correspondent of the influential liberal Vienna newspaper Neue Freie Presse was none other than Theodor Herzl.
Herzl first encountered the anti-Semitism that would shape his life and the fate of the Jews in the twentieth century while studying at the University of Vienna (1882). Later, during his stay in Paris as a journalist, he was brought face-to-face with the problem. At the time, he regarded the Jewish problem as a social issue and wrote a drama, The Ghetto (1894), in which assimilation and conversion are rejected as solutions. He hoped that The Ghetto would lead to debate and ultimately to a solution, based on mutual tolerance and respect between Christians and Jews.

In 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was unjustly accused of treason, mainly because of the prevailing anti-Semitic atmosphere. Herzl witnessed mobs shouting "Death to the Jews" in France, the home of the French Revolution, and resolved that there was only one solution: the mass immigration of Jews to a land that they could call their own. Thus the Dreyfus Case became one of the determinants in the genesis of Political Zionism.

Herzl concluded that anti-Semitism was a stable and immutable factor in human society, which assimilation did not solve. He mulled over the idea of Jewish sovereignty, and, despite ridicule from Jewish leaders, published Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State, 1896). Herzl argued that the essence of the Jewish problem was not individual but national. He declared that the Jews could gain acceptance in the world only if they ceased being a national anomaly. The Jews are one people, he said, and their plight could be transformed into a positive force by the establishment of a Jewish state with the consent of the great powers. He saw the Jewish question as an international political question to be dealt with in the arena of international politics.

Herzl proposed a practical program for collecting funds from Jews around the world by a company to be owned by stockholders, which would work towards the practical realization of this goal. (This organization, when it was eventually formed, was called the Zionist Organization.) He saw the future state as a model social state, basing his ideas on the European model of the time, of a modern enlightened society. It would be neutral and peace-seeking, and of a secular nature.

Hibbat Zion was a pre-Zionist movement, beginning in the 1880s, advocating revival of Jewish life in the Land. Its adherents worked towards the physical development of the Land, and founded agricultural settlements in Palestine. By the time the First Zionist Congress met in 1897, they had already begun to transform the face of the Land.
Herzl, though, saw the aim of the Zionist movement as a charter for a Jewish national entity in the Land of Israel rather than its development through piecemeal settlement.
In his Zionist novel, Altneuland (Old New Land, 1902), Herzl pictured the future Jewish state as a socialist utopia. He envisioned a new society that was to rise in the Land of Israel on a cooperative basis utilizing science and technology in the development of the Land.

He included detailed ideas about how he saw the future state's political structure, immigration, fund-raising, diplomatic relations, social laws and relations between religion and the state. In Altneuland, the Jewish state was foreseen as a pluralist, advanced society, a "light unto the nations."

This book had a great impact on the Jews of the time and became a symbol of the Zionist vision in the Land of Israel.

Herzl's ideas were met with enthusiasm by the Jewish masses in Eastern Europe, although Jewish leaders were less ardent. Still, Herzl convened and chaired the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland, on August 29-31, 1897, the first interterritorial gathering of Jews on a national and secular basis. Here the delegates adopted the Basle Program, the program of the Zionist movement, and declared "Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law." At the Congress the Zionist Organization was established as the political arm of the Jewish people, and Herzl was elected its first president. In the same year, Herzl founded the Zionist weekly Die Welt and began activities to obtain a charter for Jewish settlement in the land. After the First Zionist Congress, the movement met yearly at an international Zionist Congress. In 1936 the center of the Zionist movement was transferred to Jerusalem.

Herzl saw the need for encouragement by the great powers of the aims of the Jewish people in the Land. Thus, he traveled to the Land of Israel and Istanbul in 1898 to meet with Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. When these efforts proved fruitless, he turned to Great Britain, and met with Joseph Chamberlain, the British colonial secretary and others. The only concrete offer he received from the British was the proposal of a Jewish autonomous region in east Africa, in Uganda.

The 1903 Kishinev pogrom and the difficult state of Russian Jewry, witnessed firsthand by Herzl during a visit to Russia, had a profound effect on him. He proposed the British Uganda Program to the Sixth Zionist Congress (1903) as a temporary refuge for Jews in Russia in immediate danger. While Herzl made it clear that this program would not affect the ultimate aim of Zionism, a Jewish entity in the Land of Israel, the proposal aroused a storm at the Congress and nearly led to a split in the Zionist movement.

The Uganda Program was finally rejected by the Zionist movement at the Seventh Zionist Congress in 1905.

Herzl died in 1904, of pneumonia and a weak heart overworked by his incessant efforts on behalf of Zionism, but by then the movement had found its place on the world political map. In 1949 Herzl's remains were brought to Israel and reinterred on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.

Herzl coined the phrase "If you will, it is no fairytale," which became the motto of the Zionist movement. Although at the time no one could have imagined it, Zionism led, only fifty years later, to the establishment of the independent State of Israel.

Rachel Bluwstein Sela was a Hebrew-language poet who immigrated to the land of israel, then part of the Ottoman Empire, in 1909. She is known by her first name, Rachel, or as Rachel the Poet.

Rachel was born in Russia in 1890. At the age of 19, Rachel visited the land of Israel with her sister on their route to Italy, where they were planning to study art and philosophy. They decided to stay in the land of israel as Zionist pioneers, learning Hebrew by listening to kindergarten children chatter. Rachel moved to Kvutzat Kinneret on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where she studied and worked in a women's agricultural school.
for a while she joined the small agricultural kibbutz named Degania, a settlement neighboring her previous home at Kinneret. However, shortly after her arrival she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, then an incurable disease. Now unable to work for fear of contagion, she was expelled from Degania and left to fend for herself.
Rachel died in 1931 in Tel Aviv, at the age of 40. She is buried in the Kinneret cemetery in a grave overlooking the Sea of Galilee, following her wishes as expressed in one of her poems.

Nebo sadness is a term made by Rachel the poet, in one of her poems "meneged".

translation by Adriana X. Tatum (1998)

The heart is inclined. The ear, attentive:
Is he coming? Will he come?
In all hope
There is the sadness of Nevo.

This one facing the other — the two shores
Of one torrent.
The cliff of separation:
Distant, forever.

To open the palms. To see from across.
There — no one comes.
A man and his Nevo
Over a great earth.

So sad it was,
I had to
spread my wings and fly
To a place where,
perhaps like Har Nevo,
You see so far and so clearly.

A person is like a tree planted by water
Seeking roots
A person is like a bush beneath the sky
A fire burns within…

Then I lost my way,
my life was a riddle
I thirsted like one wandering in the desert
For a word of truth,
for the strength to give
To lift my face toward tomorrow

A person is like a tree…

A fire burned within me,
I set out to seek
I was like a storm
Then I returned home
To find you with me
All the way until the end…

A person is like a tree…

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
½ cup honey
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon salt
8 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (Optional)
Directions:
Instructions Checklist
Step 1
In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over barely warm water. Beat in honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt. Add the flour one cup at a time, beating after each addition, graduating to kneading with hands as dough thickens. Knead until smooth and elastic and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed. Cover with a damp clean cloth and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until dough has doubled in bulk.

Step 2
Punch down the risen dough and turn out onto floured board. Divide in half and knead each half for five minutes or so, adding flour as needed to keep from getting sticky. Divide each half into thirds and roll into long snake about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pinch the ends of the three snakes together firmly and braid from middle. Either leave as braid or form into a round braided loaf by bringing ends together, curving braid into a circle, pinch ends together. Grease two baking trays and place finished braid or round on each. Cover with towel and let rise about one hour.

Step 3
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 4
Beat the remaining egg and brush a generous amount over each braid. Sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.

Step 5
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 40 minutes. Bread should have a nice hollow sound when thumped on the bottom. Cool on a rack for at least one hour before slicing.

Mizmor Ledavid

A psalm to David
God is my shepherd I shall lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even as I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
I will not fear any hardship for you are with me
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me before my enemies
You anoint my head with oil my cup runs over.

But good and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in God's house forever.

Guess the Moab!

Is this in Moab Jorden or in Moab Utah?

The Mesha Stele, also known as the Moabite Stone, is a stele dated around 840 BCE containing a significant Canaanite inscription in the name of King Mesha of Moab (a kingdom located in modern Jordan). Mesha tells how Chemosh, the god of Moab, had been angry with his people and had allowed them to be subjugated to Israel, but at length, Chemosh returned and assisted Mesha to throw off the yoke of Israel and restore the lands of Moab. Mesha describes his many building projects. Some say it is written in the Phoenician alphabet, but others say it is written in the Old Hebrew script, which is closely related.

Can you read what it says here?

The Madaba Map, also known as the Madaba Mosaic Map, is part of a floor mosaic in the early Byzantine church of Saint George in Madaba, Moab, Jordan. The Madaba Map is of the Middle East, and part of it contains the oldest surviving original cartographic depiction of the Holy Land and especially Jerusalem. It dates to the 6th century AD.

Check out the Jerusalem's map, the main street in it is the Cardo , which was the Latin name given to a north-south street in Ancient Roman cities and military camps as an integral component of city planning.

The Cardo's remines in Jerusalem are there until today and its a street you can walk through and enjoy all the history in it.

In the photos you can see the Madaba map, the close up of the Jerusalem mosaic and the Cardo in Jerusalem today.
