✡︎ Shalom and Good Shabbos, Friends ✡︎

We're in the midst now of the 49-day "Counting of the Omer" retracing our ancestors' seven-week spiritual journey from the Exodus to Sinai. We embrace this special opportunity for spiritual renewal individually and as a 'nation of priests,' strengthening ourselves to overcome the challenges to life now and in the future.

This week's Torah portion, Tazria-Metzora, Leviticus 12:1–15:33, describes how to restore spiritual purity after exposure to various kinds of impure elements within the physical plain of existence.

A collaborative academic Israel/American progressive feminist attack on God, Torah, and babies occurs at NYU Law School on April 26, 2023. The organizers of this event could use a thorough cleansing!

This event and all the money and influence supporting it in both countries strengthens our commitment to continue our work here and bring our mission to Israel. Far from being discouraged, we resolve to make our public defense of innocent, defenseless, guiltless human life in the womb more persistent and persuasive!

Our friend, Binyomin Feinberg, posted to our blog this week, reflecting with his customary eloquent, scholarly style on policies here and in Israel and how Jews in the Diaspora play a significant part in the spiritual renewal of humankind.

Our newsletter closes with with 2 amazing posts from Pro-Life Warriors Facebook page!

Welcome and thank you to our new subscribers and donors.

May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and good life upon us and upon all Israel. Amen.
