May 2020 Events



But you, brethren, are not in darkness,
so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
You are all sons of light and sons of the day.
We are not of the night nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do,
but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

Recap/Ongoing Events
Israel: Sea of Galilee rising to record levels in Israel
The Sea of Galilee Is Finally Completely Full — and Empty
After almost 30 years in which the shrinking lake retreated further and further from the shore, it is now overflowing its banks. Yet the coronavirus lockdown means no one is here to enjoy it.
At the southernmost end of the lake is Degania Dam, which feeds into the Jordan River. The dam was built in the 1930s. “It’s a game of centimeters,” … “The Kinneret is still rising by two centimeters a day. They are trying to avoid opening the dam, but we need to realize that before opening, logistical preparations have to be made.”
The area is blossoming, with clouds of yellow daisies and white wild carrot. A large flock of storks flies over ... in the middle of the channel, is a turtle.

May 11/12 - Lag BaOmer (Hebrew: לַ״ג בָּעוֹמֶר), also Lag B'Omer, is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, which occurs on the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar.
This day marks the hillula (celebration, interpreted by some as anniversary of death) of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Mishnaic sage and leading disciple of Rabbi Akiva in the 2nd century, and the day on which he revealed the deepest secrets of kabbalah in the form of the Zohar (Book of Splendor), a landmark text of Jewish mysticism. This association has spawned several well-known customs and practices on Lag BaOmer, including the lighting of bonfires, pilgrimages to the tomb of Bar Yochai in the northern Israeli town of Meron, and various customs at the tomb itself.[1]
Lag B' omer - The “Lag” is better represented as just two letters – L and G. Together they mean the number 33 because L means 30 and G stands for 3.  Up until the 33rd day of the 50 day Omer countdown, rabbinic Jewish tradition imposes a time of mourning, forbidding feasting, weddings, and celebrations… and haircuts as well. But the scissors come out on the 33rd day of the Omer, the ‘LG’ of the Omer, which is a time for celebration.

His trial is set to start on May 24. The deal specifies that Netanyahu may press ahead from July 1 with plans to annex parts of the West Bank, including all of Israel’s settlements, even without Gantz’s support.
