Shabbat Nov 11, 2023 Happy Veterans Day!

Shabbat Shalom,

Veteran’s Day, what used to be called ‘Armistice Day’ until 1954, is a day to remember and honor those who have served this nation in the armed forces. As a veteran myself, I just want to thank you men and women, who selflessly gave to this nation, and we honor you for your service! Today, those of us who are serving the Living God are still being called to lay our lives on the line to see His Kingdom purposes realized and advanced in every area of our society. We may not be wearing a uniform, or are not deployed overseas, but we are still called to be watchful and to proclaim and stand in the gap between men and God. “ON YOUR WALLS, JERUSALEM, I HAVE SET WATCHMEN. ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT, THEY WILL NEVER HOLD THEIR PEACE. YOU WILL REMIND ADONAI, TAKE NO REST FOR YOURSELVES, AND GIVE HIM NO REST UNTIL HE MAKES JERUSALEM A PRAISE IN THE EARTH.” Especially in this dangerous day we find ourselves in, let us endure till the end and do what we can to see the enemies around us defeated and, Yes, that the Name of Yeshua will be exalted and glorified!

This Shabbat November 11thwe will be meeting at the Dwelling Place, 16800 W.9th Ave Golden, 80401 at 11am. This week I sensed from Ruach HaKodesh to share a message on suffering. You might say, “Oy! Can’t we talk about something a bit lighter?” Actually, I think it will be very encouraging and helpful! All of us have experienced suffering but there are some real benefits that can carry us through and it doesn’t gave to always be a downer! We look forward to seeing you this week, and there will be a potluck Oneg following the service — TO EASE THE SUFFERING AFTER THE MESSAGE! There are some important events coming up that I want you be made aware of:

WE WONT BE SILENT: A TIME TO INSPIRE SOLIDARITY AND HOPE IN THIS HOUR OF RISING HATE AGAINST ISRAEL; Come on out and show our support of the Colorado Jewish community! Sunday, November 19th at Legacy Campus, 10035 S. Peoria St. Lone Tree, 80134. It will be at 3pm
