Two are better than one...

Two are better than one, for they 

get a greater return for their labor. 

For should they fall, 

one can lift his friend.

ECCLESIASTES (4:9,10)

טוֹבִים הַשְּׁנַיִם מִן הָאֶחָד אֲשֶׁר

 יֵשׁ לָהֶם שָׂכָר טוֹב בַּעֲמָלָ

ם כִּי אִם יִפֹּלוּ הָאֶחָד יָקִים אֶת חֲבֵרוֹ

קֹהֶלֶת ד:ט,י


toe-VEEM ha-she-na-YEEM ha-eh-KHAD
ah-SHARE yaysh la-HEM sa-KHAR tove ba-ah-ma-LAM
kee eem yeef-LOO ha-eh-KHAD

Today’s Israel Inspiration


Today's verse from the wisdom of King Solomon urges
each of us to seek out and connect with others with whom
we can grow spiritually. From the word 'chaver' (friend)
comes the word 'chavruta' - a study partner - and a deeply
traditional way of biblical learning where two people explore
Jewish texts together. Together we can connect and achieve
all of our spiritual goals for the coming year.
