PSA: Put UV filters on your lenses

‍‍19 May 2012 - 27 Iyar 5772
We interrupt this blog for a photo public service announcement (PSA). I was on day three of a four day conference I was documenting. We’d just come down from the Mount of Olives, and I was cooling off before dinner. I was also getting my photo gear ready for the evening session. So I take [...]

Samaritan Passover offers a picture of Yeshua crucified

‍‍7 May 2012 - 15 Iyar 5772
Samaritan Passover offering on stakePaul tell us that Yeshua is our Passover lamb sacrificed for us. Even when doing the modern, Rabbinical Jewish seder, one sees Messiah all over it. But in the Samaritan Passover we get the closest to seeing what an observant Jew would have practiced and seen through the Temple periods. When Paul says Jesus is our Passover, when John the Baptist introduces his cousin as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”, this is what they were visualizing.

‘Super moon’ over Jerusalem

Next time I’ve got to get higher so I can get the moon lower on the [...]

The sun has set in Jerusalem. Independence Day is over (though I heard fireworks in the distance not long ago).

I joined the crowds last night and rejoiced with Israel for 64 years of independence, 64 years of having a homeland once again. God is not a man that He should lie. He has his reasons for tarrying. Israel waited and waited for their own country, and in 1948 the LORD finally restored it to them.

God is faithful to perform that which He has promised, even if it seems like we’ve been waiting so long.

Yom Kippur: Taking the streets

‍‍8 October 2011 - 10 Tishre 5772
yomkippur-emekrefaim-20111008-1445This year the Day of Atonement fell on shabbat. So businesses closed in the early afternoon, as usual. The buses stopped running. I had a worship watch at Succat Hallel at 8 p.m. I left my apartment at 7 expecting the the streets to be empty, like most shabbats. Instead, I found the streets alive [...]

Shabbat shalom – dinner and a walk

‍‍10 September 2011 - 11 Elul 5771
shabbat-meal005Greetings. Something a bit more low key, today. It is Friday night (well, will be early Saturday morning by the time I’m done tapping this out). So the city is quiet, families are in their homes having shared a meal, kicking back, maybe reading the Word. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a shabbat [...]
