🌳 FOREST MAP OF ISRAEL 🇮🇱

Tonight begins Tu BiShvat – the Festival of Trees, and to mark it, here’s a look at the forests that now cover the Land of Israel.

According to Wikipedia, most of these forests are the result of an intensive reforestation campaign led by the Jewish National Fund (JNF).

In the 19th century and up until World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared Israel’s native pine and oak forests to build railways across the region.

Since its founding, the JNF has planted over 260 million trees, creating 280 forests that continue to thrive today turning once-barren hills into living, green landscapes. 🌲🇮🇱

“His word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.”
— Jeremiah 20:9

As Shabbat begins, may God’s Word burn within us
bringing strength in weakness, light in darkness,
and courage when the world feels heavy.

May this holy day fill your home with peace, faith, and quiet joy.

As Charlie Kirk would say —
“Have a wonderful weekend, everybody. Shabbat Shalom. Good Shabbos. Turn off your phone. Enjoy your family.

Did you know Israel pioneered modern drip irrigation a technology now used all over the world?

💧 Instead of flooding fields, water goes directly to the roots

🌾 Crops grow with far less water

🏜️ Even dry, desert climates can become productive farmland

What started as a necessity in a water-scarce land became a global agricultural breakthrough.

U.S.–ISRAEL DEFENSE UPDATE

Marco Rubio has approved $6.7 BILLION in U.S. arms sales to Israel, advancing four major defense packages despite reported congressional objections.

What’s included:
✈️ Apache attack helicopters
🚁 Utility helicopters
🚙 Tactical military vehicles
🛡️ Upgrades to armored personnel carriers.

Did you know Masada isn’t only a symbol of resistance, it’s also connected to a powerful biblical wilderness story many people miss?

Built as a royal fortress by King Herod, Masada later became the last stronghold of Jewish rebels against Rome (73–74 AD). But long before the famous siege…

📖 David likely passed through this very region while fleeing King Saul. The nearby wilderness matches the area described in 1 Samuel 23–24, where David hid in desert strongholds. Masada rises from that same harsh landscape, a place of refuge, testing, and preparation.

🔥 The Romans built a massive siege ramp that still exists today, one of the best preserved Roman military works in the world.

💧 Even more amazing, Masada had advanced water systems. Rainwater channels carved into rock cliffs filled huge cisterns. In the desert. Two thousand years ago.
Masada is where faith, survival, engineering, and biblical wilderness history all meet on one mountaintop.

HELP PRESERVE WHAT WAS NEARLY LOST FOREVER

After 2,000 years buried beneath Jerusalem, the Pilgrimage Road just opened to the public following 13 years of careful excavation.

Not all Temple Mount archaeology has been this careful.

November 1999: The Waqf illegally removed 400 truckloads of Temple Mount soil and dumped it in the Kidron Valley. Three thousand years of artifacts destroyed in a single night.

For 25 years, archaeologists Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira have been recovering what they can. Over 500,000 finds saved from erasure.

Own authenticated Temple Mount soil and support this rescue mission: https://templemountsoil.org/Israel. Your purchase supports the Temple Mount Sifting Project's ongoing work and helps Israel MyChannel continue sharing these stories.
