Travelujah: Shavuot and Pentecost in Israel

Shavuot for Kids: Shavuot – also known as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost – is a Jewish holiday celebrating the giving of the Ten Commandments and the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).

How to Receive God’s Blessing: A benediction is “the invocation of blessing, especially at the end of a worship service; to bless or speak well of.” (The American Heritage Dictionary). The question is – does it really work? Is a person or a group actually blessed when this benediction is pronounced over them? Does one in fact experience God’s favor and grace after receiving this benediction? Is it effective?
