3+ min ago (451+ words) I think what most of us get wrong about gratitude is we believe the source of our gratitude emanates from things, both tangible and intangible, that we possess. Right? So many of us take stock of our lives and think, "Well, I have a beautiful house; my family is healthy; we have plenty of food; and I even have productive, fulfilling work. I am blessed!" The reality, though, is the source of true gratitude comes from recognition of the one inexplicably beautiful life we are given. In my humble experience, those very few who are unequivocally intertwined with the true source of being in this universe " call it God, if you will, like I do " their gratitude comes from the knowledge they have only today to live, to breath, to care for others, to honor this gift. Admit it: Many…...

29+ min ago (420+ words) The Tel Aviv dinner in 2014 lacked live music, public transportation and lasagna, an organizer recalls. Here's me not feeling even remotely bitter that the Guinness World Record for the largest Shabbat dinner " the one my friends and I set in Tel Aviv in 2014 " has just been broken again." Totally fine over here. The tables set for a Guinness World Record-breaking Shabbat dinner, hosted by White City Shabbat in Tel Aviv, June 13, 2014. (Gideon Markowicz/Flash 90) But the real difference wasn't the finances, at least from what I can see from afar. It was in the overarching vibe." For one, our dinner fully adhered to Orthodox customs. The meal we served was a traditional Shabbat spread " including meat " while Temple Emanu-El dared to go pescatarian, a dramatic departure from the de rigueur Shabbat table. Had my Moroccan grandmother been there (and alive),…...

32+ min ago (872+ words) Christian News, International News, Israel News, US News by Tony Davenport | Nov 29, 2025 A study using artificial intelligence has provided fresh insight into the authorship of some of the Bible's oldest books, offering new perspectives for Christians on how Scripture was written. However, it made no advance on confirming the authors of every book. Researchers examined 50 chapters of the first nine books of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Enneateuch, revealing distinct writing styles that point to multiple authors or scribal groups. The team combined artificial intelligence, statistical modeling and linguistic analysis to address one of the most enduring questions about the Bible: The identification of its authors, without reaching any conclusions. The AI model identified three clear writing styles: the Priestly Source, the Deuteronomistic History, and the Book of Deuteronomy itself. This suggests that more than one person or group…...

33+ min ago (395+ words) But White makes an argumentative mistake that too many contemporary Christians make. He mistakes Christ's teaching that the attitude of our hearts, not just our physical obedience to the law, is what matters, using this for a license to use or abuse his body however he chooses. Such an argument draws on scriptural passages such as Matthew 5, where Christ says the following: You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder,' and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. The true point of…...
