The Jerusalem Prayer List – (written) April 2nd, 2024 Copyright 2024 By Joseph Shulam This week's prayer list is a little long. Please take your time; if you want to read it in increments, feel free to take your time. It is an important prayer list this week, and we need your prayers and participation in all that is going on in Israel and in and around the world. I am still in Belo-Horizonte, Brazil. The conference is over, and today, April 2nd, 2024, the Lord willing, I will

As dawn breaks on this Sunday morning, I find myself in the familiar embrace of early hours, accompanied by a steaming cup of coffee and the glow of my iPad. Wrapped snugly in a blanket, it’s a ritual that has shaped my mornings since childhood—a quiet moment of solace before the day unfolds. I would get up early, take my green patchwork quilt, wrap myself in that blanket and take a moment to enjoy that feeling of warmth and chill in the parts of my body that I would sneak ou

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 29, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Belo Horizonte, Brazil Today, T.J., our dear brother from Taiwan, and I arrived in Belo-Horizonte, and Matheus picked us up and took us for lunch. I remembered that it was Wednesday, and I needed to write the Jerusalem Prayer List. This week's Torah portion is of great importance to me. The reading is from a portion that in Hebrew is called Tzav – Command! Torah Reading: From Leviticus 6:1 – 8:36. The Prophe

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 23, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA The Torah portion that will be read in synagogues around the world is my Bar-Mitzvah reading. When I was 13, my father sent me to the neighborhood Rabbi to study for my Bar-Mitzvah. Bar-Mitzvah is the right of passage for any male child moving from being a child who is not responsible for himself. Still, his family, especially the father, is responsible for him in a whole new sphe

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 13, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 13th, 2024 By Joseph Shulam True Christians Sound the Alarm! There is always the now and then! There is always the now and then! There is always the shortsightedness and the visionary for the prophetic! There is always the here and there! There is always the urgent and the wise! There is always the I and thou! Because of special circumstances, as

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 8, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 7th, 2024 By Joseph Shulam March is called Adar in Hebrew, the last month of the ancient Hebrew Biblical year, as it was celebrated in Israel in the pre-exilic period. Pre-exilic refers to before the Babylonian Exile from the land of Israel. The elite population of Israel, the King and his family, the elite society of the rich and powerful, and the

This Shulam Family favorite would make a great Shabbat dinner.

The Jerusalem Prayer List – March 2, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA Shalom, dear brothers and sisters around the world, I am writing this Jerusalem Prayer List from the USA. Marcia and I are staying with our Son Barry and daughter-in-law Beth. We came to the USA because I must go with Barry to Brazil for a very important international conference to revive the battle and program for the restoration of the victims of the Spanish and Portuguese Catho

The Jerusalem Prayer List – February 23, 2024 By Joseph Shulam - From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, USA Yesterday afternoon, we arrived in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. We are in the home of our son and daughter-in-law. We had a good night's sleep and are ready to do the Jerusalem Prayer List from Middle Tennessee. I woke up this morning and had a confusing moment. On the television screen, there is the same TV channel that I watch in Israel every morning to find out what is cooking –

The Jerusalem Prayer List – February 16, 2024 By Joseph Shulam This Shabbat is very special to me. I usually do not write or talk about financial contributions to the Lord's ministry in Netivyah. However, this Torah portion is called "Trumah". "Trumah" means a contribution, donation, or offering. The reading starts with these words from God to Moses: Exodus 25:1- 6: "Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. Fr

Please watch the video first. Dear brothers and sisters in Israël and around the world! The video presents a story from the deepest Asian Mongolian plains that has a deep, timeless, and true message that right now these days is most powerful! What is the message and the imperative of this true reality? Israel has experienced the worst possible bloody blow, physically, politically, and emotionally since the reestablishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Here is a sh

The Jerusalem Prayer List – February 9, 2024 By Joseph Shulam Israel is still at war in Gaza with Hamas and on the North border with Lebanon with Hezbollah, an Iranian Proxy with radical anti-Israel views and a desire to delete Israel from this Earth. The place of Jewish Disciples of Yeshua in Israel is going through a major change and challenge. There is a significant number of Israeli soldiers who come from the ranks of the Messianic Congregations throughout Israel. Ther

The Jerusalem Prayer List – February 2, 2024 By Joseph Shulam The Torah reading for this Shabbat is of great importance for all believers, especially today. The Reading on Shabbat, February 3rd, 2024, is The Portion called Yetro (Jethro). Jethro is a priest of Median and the father of Zipporah, the wife of Moses. Our Readings today are From The Torah: Exodus 18:1-20:23. From the Prophets: Isaiah 6:1-7:6, 9:5-7. From the New Testament: Matthew 19:16-26. The Torah

The Jerusalem Prayer List – January 26, 2024 By Joseph Shulam We are still deep in the mega-epic events of the Exodus, Passover, and the crossing of the Red Sea. How much of this story do we believe, take seriously, and celebrate? I have watched the movie “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,” made in Hollywood, with Charleston Heston as Moses more than once. It is one of the hours-long epic movies produced by Hollywood. I find this movie helpful in visualizing the details of the Ex

The Jerusalem Prayer List – January 18, 2024 By Joseph Shulam The Torah reading this Shabbat is called Bo! = “Come.” Exodus 10:1 – 13:15 From the Prophets, the reading is from Jeremiah 46:13-28 From the New Testament, the reading is from Luke 22:7-30 and 1 Corinthians 11:20 – 34. Before I go into the Biblical texts, please forgive me for sharing about the situation of Israel these days. Israel has been at war with a very cruel and sadistic enemy that has no morals

The Jerusalem Prayer List – January 11, 2024 By Joseph Shulam We are getting deep into the book of Exodus this next Shabbat, January 13, 2024. The Torah reading is entering the exodus story, a story of deliverance from slavery to freedom. The emancipation of a nation from the clutches of one of the greatest empires in history. When Moses was an Egyptian prince, son of the daughter of the Great Pharaoh, Egypt ruled nearly one third of all of the African continent. The ch

The Jerusalem Prayer List – January 4, 2024 By Joseph Shulam Welcome to the year of our Lord 2024, Israel is in the middle of a harsh and difficult war with a bitter enemy who has no limit to his hate and cruelty. An enemy that is driven by no objective but hate, a deep hate based on totally mythological reasons. The objective facts on the growth of this enemy don’t have rhyme or reason. For this enemy it is just unreasonable and unrestrained hate for Jews. There is no

The Jerusalem Prayer List – December 29, 2023 By Joseph Shulam This Shabbat will be the last Shabbat of 2023, but also the last reading this year from the book of Genesis. The portion is named Vayechi and it is an interesting phenomenon in the Hebrew Bible Torah reading portions. Vayechi means in Hebrew “And He Lives.” In this portion we have Jacob’s death. A few previous Torah portions ago, we had a portion that was called “Chaiay Sarah,” Sarah dies. I think that this is
