shabbat shalom image – The Real Jerusalem Streets

Shabbat Shalom from the Judean Desert

What a view it was!

The Judean Desert stretched as far as one could see.

A lone camel awaited quietly for its riders.

The sun would set soon. All would appear black in the night.

I don’t often get inspired watching a camel; however, this week, the Torah portion is Lech Lecha.

The chapter read on Shabbat morning begins:

G-d said to Avram, “Go from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will become a source of blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.“

Shabbat Shalom from the Real Jerusalem Streets

This week, I planned to create and share a fresh Shabbat Shalom photo featuring a pomegranate I spotted on a Jerusalem street.

However, when I checked the RJS archives first, I rediscovered this image from 10 years ago.

Shabbat shalom!

Rosh Hashanah is ten days away.

May it be a good and healthy year for all.

Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem to Brighten Day

In the early days of The Real Jerusalem Streets, publishing a new image or photograph of Jerusalem before Shabbat was a weekly post.

Over time, new ideas were hard to find. Last night was distressing. Countless vile messages on Twitter, bolstered by lies from international media about Israel, so decided to create something to brighten the night.

Hoping this Shabbat Shalom greeting strikes a positive chord with you.

FYI. This is a photo of the top of the Jerusalem Chord Bridge at the entrance of the city against a bright blue sky – pun very much intended.
