On October 24, 2016 we celebrated the Feast Simchat Torah (the Joy of the Torah) with dancing and singing. That’s when the cycle of the weekly Torah readings was completed. On that day, we read the final portion of the Torah and following we read the beginning chapter of Genesis again.
October 19-20, 2016 our teachers of the Sabbath School organized a trip for children to the places were Yeshua lived and ministered.
In Nazareth, where He spent his childhood, the children learned how to make olive oil and had a snack with pita and zater, one of the typical Israeli spices. They also visited Capernaum, where Yeshua taught in the synagogue, and where the disciple Peter lived as well as the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), where He appointed His first disciples. The children made another stop in Bethsaida, near this city Yeshua taught and performed miracles, for example, feeding a large crowd with two fish and five loaves of bread. Capernaum has not been restored until this day (it did not accept the gospel; however, it has heard it and seen many miracles). At the end of the trip, the children went kayaking in the Jordan River. The children came home delighted.
