Shabbat shalom, everyone.

We're in the middle of a move from Kentucky to Mississippi, so after two exhausting weeks of sorting, packing, loading, and unloading, we're taking a short break to regroup and prepare for the high holy days. Many thanks to River of Life Tabernacle for sending a team to help these old folks move it!

So here's the plan:

• There will be no livestream on Shabbat since we won't have wifi, but
• We will put the teaching Grass Fires of the Apocalypse into a newsletter next week for the high holy days. If possible, I'll make an audio recording as well.
• For those in Monday or Tuesday Zoom classes, there will be no interactive classes next week. Watch for a special invitation to a Wednesday session instead.

Shabbat Shalom!

Since there are two days of the Feast of Trumpets followed by a weekly Sabbath, here is a tip for lighting candles on three consecutive nights:

Long-burning candles!

Some candles will even last 150 hours, so it's no problem, but if you have candles that burn at least twenty-four hours, but not much longer, it can still be done.

We cannot kindle a fire on Shabbat, so if we enjoy lighting candles for the high holy days and Shabbat, what do we do? Light your first long-burning candles before sundown on the first day of Trumpets with a blessing:

"Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season."

The next evening, light your next set of long-burning candles directly from the flame of the previous day's candles.

On Erev (weekly) Shabbat, light your Shabbat candles directly from the flame of the second night's candles and say your Shabbat blessing.

And voila! Let there be Shabbastic light!

Thank you all for praying and/or donating to the work at LaMalah Children's Home in Kenya. Brother Ndungu writes this week:

Shabbat shalom, my sister:

As always, we hope and pray you are all doing well. Each of us here, we are doing well. Of late, we have concentrated on working on the small property, especially doing plumbing which is now completed. We are awaiting electricity connection and that will be it.

Preparations for Sukkot are ongoing. We have firewood and since we expect more people, we are also improving on where they will dwell: eat, sleep, and all. Abba has continuously added unto us, and we give Him all honor and esteem. Though we are not all that bad, any help towards the feast will go a long way.

There are people who are not able to come to Limuru for the feasts. That means our community has at least four feast centers. Since last year, we hoped to help our brothers and sisters in Uganda rebuild a Prasie House where their walls caved in (above). They had used mud as mortar to do the joints on the bricks. From time to time, we help them buy a few bags of cement. They are faithful servants of the Most High. We did let them know from the onset it's not something that can be done overnight. In fact, it may take years since there is always a need here.

You are in our prayers many times and all brothers and sisters who give towards this mission of mercy. Give our love to BD.

Blessings,

Peter
