hello friends this is Asha from Jerusalem and I just want to give you a quick invitation to sign up for our conference of Tikun Global that we're going to have in the Anaheim California area the second week in September 11th and 12th i'm telling you now because the number of places are limited i know it's going to get filled up we have a lot of wonderful friends and guests and family that will be there there'll be time for teaching and fellowship and prayer and worship and also be a time for us just to get together and talk i look forward to seeing you there you know we're actually right here in Jerusalem the sun's just about to go down on Shabbat and u this is interesting Shabbat it's one of the few times we have Shabbat connected with uh together with the Passover Seder and which means you have two days of Shabbat so it's a big Shabbat that's a double Shabbat which actually there's a reference in the Gospel of John about the Shabbat of the crucifixion weekend was a great Shabbat now that word great Shabbat can also mean the Shabbat right before Passover in which people are to repent so both of those sort of fit together for right now but what's happening in just a few moments here and uh our people are really torn up because on the one hand we've seen huge victories in the Middle East on the level really of the book of Exodus on the other hand we have another 59 hostages still held in Gaza and seems like maybe 20 to 24 of them are still alive so our hearts are excited and yet broken but anyway we wanted to bless you as we get ready for Passover here to bless you with a special Passover and make sure you put that down on your calendar and get registered for our Tikon Global event in Anaheim in the second week of September and you can see all the advertisement about it and Betty and I will be there look forward to seeing you then
