Fall Holidays and more


SUKKOT

Yom Kippur - Bicycles on the Freeway.


We are now nearing the end of the Fall holidays. As a write this update, there is a sukkah (tabernacle in Biblical Hebrew) in my living room. Yes, you're right, they are normally outside, but we live in an apartment and there aren't a lot of options outside for us. So we set it up near a big open window. The boys have enjoyed sleeping in the sukkah at night. We have eaten in the sukkah also. It's a fun holiday filled with great memories, like searching the neighborhood for palm branches.  Eating in other people's sukkoth! It's great!

Upcoming Cafe Events

This week we will have our first Cafe Night following the holidays. The musician has invited a lot of his friends. The last holiday, Simchat Hatorah, which is a rabbinic holiday will just be ending that night. This means that public transportation will be limited. Nevertheless, our musician really wants to serve the Lord and play in spite of the fact that some of his fans and friends may not be able to make it. Please pray that the Lord opens the doors to bring people in to be encouraged in their faith, inspired by the music and edified.

We have a bigger event scheduled for October 19th!  We would really appreciate your prayers for this event too. We will have two talented musicians coming as we partner with another ministry that has  a similar outreach event.

A Terrible Tragedy occurred last night.

  Here is the background A terrorist walked into a synagogue (a house of worship) and started shooting innocent civilians as they were getting up to leave the building at the end of the service. This incident falls on the heels of other terrorist attacks and a growing movement towards violence led by extremists.  Earlier in the day, Hamas (the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip and it's 2 million people) fired a rocket at civilian populations in Israel.  Over the past several months, they have restrained themselves and others, but the fact that they claimed responsibility for the terror and rocket attack seems to indicate that they are now looking for an escalation.   What are False Equivalencies. One of the common and false responses to such attacks is to make false equivalencies. It is often said in the global press, that "the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other for centuries," or "they Arabs are responding to Jewish aggression." These false equ

Prayer Requests regarding the recent uptick in Rocket fire, Riots and terror attacks

Dear friends and ministry partners, In recent days there have been several rocket attacks at Israel from the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip and in Southern Lebanon. As of the writing of this prayer request about 80 rockets have been fired.  On the one hand, this is a major escalation, yet on the other hand, there is always some expected escalation around the Islamic holiday of Ramadan.  For the entire month, we normally experience riots and other violence with terror organizations often calling for terror attacks against civilians. This year we have already experienced a large increase in terror attacks and the Israeli security establishment has been working hard to thwart terror continuously.  They stated in the news recently that they have been able to thwart over 200 planned terror attacks since the beginning of the year.  The success of their efforts is apparent, but not as apparent as their failure to thwart terror attacks.  This morning two sisters in their 20's were

Important Update! Significant News to report!

Image
Dear Prayer Partners, Jason and Janice Rose We are really excited to share some incredibly amazing news! This update is a bit longer than usual, but our big news is here at the beginning!  We are incredibly blessed by your prayerful support of our ministry. God has truly expanded and stretched us, as we have grown into the ministers that we are today. Through that growth, the Lord also expanded the team of people that minister alongside us. When we relocated to Israel in 2015, Mitch Glaser (President of Chosen People Ministries) asked us to start a Messianic Center in Ramat Gan. We had previously started a Messianic Center in South Tel Aviv, but the area grew dangerous over time. Although we loved the facility, we were renting it and that provided a measure of instability. It was certainly what we needed at the time. We learned a lot. The center in Ramat Gan was the fruit of our education. We learned a lot about what worked and what didn't and that certain ministry programs should
