[:de]Op 16 september werd een inwoner van Efrat, Ari Fuld, in zijn rug gestoken en vermoord, toen hij aan het winkelen was in het winkelcentrum van Gush Etzion. Voordat hij bezweek aan zijn wonden, lukte het hem de terrorist neer te schieten en te voorkomen dat deze anderen kwaad kon doen. In zijn laatste momenten op aarde liet hij een heldendom en dapperheid zien die boven onze verbeelding uitgaat.[:]

If you are one of those who have that desire to visit Israel, I encourage you to take a step of faith and follow that call. You will never be the same! Why or how I cannot explain, but I have witnessed it year after year. You never read your Bible the same way again — something about seeing where your favorite Bible stories took place makes them come alive like never before.
As I drove down Route 60 one night, otherwise known as the ancient Path of the Patriarchs, my heart filled with joy. This is the Biblical Heartland, where Abraham first received the promise of the land! And it is truly growing with modern communities.

At the original covenant with Abraham, G-d changed Abraham’s name from Abram to Abraham.
[:de]Die großen Feiertage sind vorbei und wir blicken dem Herbst entgegen. Am letzten Tag des Laubhüttenfestes beteten wir das traditionelle Geben für Regen und jetzt warten und hoffen wir, dass es regnet. Wir hoffen auf einen guten und regenreichen Winter, der das ausgetrocknete Land bewässert.[:nl]De feestdagen zijn voorbij en we kijken vooruit naar de herfst. Op de laatste dag van het Loofhuttenfeest zeiden we het tarditionele gebed voor de regen en nu beginnen we te kijken en te wachten, hopend op regen, op een goede winter, een winter die gedrenkt is in regen en die dit verdroogde land water zal geven.[:]
