VIDEO: Deepest Love From The Depths Of The Earth Rising To The Heights Of Heaven

As the world underappreciates our unfathomable blessings, Jews honor The Almighty, even from the depths of underground terrorist tunnels for His Divine miracles in the Festival of Lights — Chanukah — celebrations. These Jews epitomize the human spirit of love for The Holy One wherever we may be.

Let us not forget our sacred duty to praise The Almighty and bring light to a darkened world. Let us not forget these souls sacrificed in Gaza, which is destined to be Jewish pastureland by Divine decree.

Zephania 2:

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken,….
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast,…. the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the L-rd their G-d shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.

Captives honoring The L-rd.
