JEWISH ROOTS

«…so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.»
Psalm 78:6-7

The sacred Jewish responsibility is to receive, learn, live and teach God’s word and will. Another direction of our activity is to bring Jews back to their Roots; to teach and spread the Jewish tradition to those who might have forgotten.

Sabra workers regularly celebrate Shabbat-meetings and Jewish Feasts in Jewish communities and families. The Scripture says: "And you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations…" (Deuteronomy 30:2-3).

It means that in order for Israel people to come back to the Promised Land, for all promises to be fulfilled, a Jew should feel himself a part of his nation and call upon God of his nation, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Celebration of Feasts and Shabbat, studying traditions and Scriptures is a wonderful way to help a Jew to come back to his or her roots which in their turn will bring them to God.

Teaching the Jewish roots of faith, understanding and celebration Shabbat and the Festivals is also necessary in Israel. Many of those who came are still as far away from faith and estranged from their roots as they were in Russia.

Current Sabra activities in this matter include the following:

  • Weekly Shabbat-meetings,

  • Celebration of all Jewish Festivals,

  • Teaching meetings: study Scriptures, Jewish roots, Traditions
