As I write, Israel’s government is preparing for war. So the MJAA ROI must continue stocking “War Survival Kits for Families” now! And you can be part of this preparation.
Each “War Survival Kit” costs $50 and includes: large bottles of precious water, disposable diapers, sanitary wipes, disposable plates and utensils, disposable gloves, bathroom paper, toothpaste and brushes, plastic trash bags, and board games to keep kids occupied and their young minds off of the boredom . . . and terror.

Through the Eyes of a Messianic Jew
Tu B'Shevat--Israel's Arbor Day
By: Messianic Rabbi Eric Tokajer,
Brit Ahm Messianic Synagogue
 Tu B’Shevat is Hebrew for the 15th of the Biblical month of Shevat. It is sometimes called the Israel Arbor Day where people plant trees in Israel. This year the holiday falls on February 8th.
