and and this judean life
it's just so all-encompassing and of
course it is
in the diaspora jews go to the synagogue
and that's pretty much where they do the
jewish thing
but here in the land it's the language
and it's the culture
and it's the calendar and it's time it's
time itself
just yesterday was a joyous day on the
jewish calendar
um you know after the whole difficult
and painful three weeks which culminated
in the nine days which culminated in
tisha b'av
when the temple was destroyed this
sabbath was called the sabbath of
consolation of comfort
and friday was what's called tuba of
the 15th of i think this is a festival
which
you know a lot of jews haven't heard of
and probably most christians haven't
and i was very reluctant to even talk
about it
but uh if i had to make the comparison
which i was nervous to do
if i had to draw a parallel it would be
to
valentine's day um
i hope it wasn't heretical for me to
draw that parallel but because
it's a day of love it's you know the
15th of every month
is the full moon of the month so tuba of
the 15th of the
month of of um is a tragic month
and the full moons of course represent
hope
and and from the deepest darkness comes
the most beautiful light
so it's a festival of future redemption
which we all recognize that we don't
fully understand right now
as we just aren't there we're just not
there yet
but on tuba'av our sages say the
daughters of jerusalem would go and
dance in the vineyards
and quote whoever did not have a wife
would go there into the vineyards to
find himself a bride
the first time of which think about it
where would that be
the tribe of benjamin who was forbidden
to marry
within israel due to their horrific
behavior in the episode of the concubine
you remember that story it's in the 19th
chapter of the book of shelf team of
judges
and the other tribes they vowed not to
give them their daughters in marriage
and when they realized that a tribe of
israel was on the verge of being wiped
out
the sages determined that the girls
would go dance in the field
and the men of benjamin would go and
grab them from the fields
um not asking for their father's
permission thereby
saving a tribe of israel from extinction
and saving their fathers from violating
their vows and that too
that happened on the 15th of of and i
was going to go into all the things but
there were so many things that happened
on the 15th of off
we have a long history but um the reason
i wanted to share those with you
is because this tuba on friday this past
friday
on our mountain in judea i had a friend
of mine
matanya harrow who is the son of one of
the
superstars of our media network the land
of israel network her name is eve harrow
just talk about an incredible woman
anyways he called me
and said that he wanted to ask his
girlfriend to marry him
on this special day he said to me that
she's the most beautiful girl in the
world
and our farm is the most beautiful place
in the land
so he had to do it by us and here are
just a few of the pictures
it was just so beautiful and they were
so cute
and they were so in love and to know
that the seeds of another holy family
were being planted
at our farm in judea meant so much
because we have honestly a lot of
challenges
a lot of challenges and it's things like
that
which make all the blood sweat and tears
worth it and these beautiful spiritual
transformations
happen every single day out on the
arugud farm
this highlight was taken from the land
of israel fellowship

literally around the world
come together on our live zoom sessions
to strengthen each other
to inspire each other and to learn torah
