May 14, 2022 – Let us “delight” over Israel!
Our focus for the month of May is 🇮🇱 Israel 🇮🇱 – the “Land of milk and honey” …and shawarmas!
Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel Independence Day, is celebrated on the fifth day of the month of Iyar (May 5, 2022). The original date corresponded to May 14, 1948.
Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli control after the Six-Day War (June 5-10, 1967), is celebrated on the twenty-eighth day of Iyar (May 28, 2022).
It will come to pass in the last days that the mountain of ADONAI’s House will stand firm as head of the mountains and will be exalted above the hills. So all nations will flow to it.
Isaiah 2:2 (TLV)
