This is a must see video especially in light of the controversy over the building of an Islamic Center on Ground Zero in New York City.

2 Chronicles 7:14
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
AMI NEWS
Ami has continued to heal from his operations, and is back in basketball practice. He was released from all of his therapies for his hand, and continues to do exercises on his own. The surgeon said that as far as he is concerned, the hand surgery was a success. The question is if Ami is satisfied. Ami said that he is satisfied. He has range of motion and strength in the hand he didn't have before. We will go back to the ear surgeon on September 1st.
In the meantime, Ami is getting ready for the new school year which will be his last year of high school. Because he will not be inducted into the army because of the injuries he sustained, we are praying about what to do after he graduates. In Israel, all 18 year olds are inducted into the army, both male and female. Girls serve for 2 years and boys for 3. It is a big hiatus in the lives of these young people, and some don't survive as Israel is in a constant state of war, if not cross border than within our own borders.
All of my children served in the army in different capacities, and two were combat soldiers. Ami didn't want to serve if it wasn't in a combat unit, and he was able to get a release from army service as he wasn't eligible for combat duty because of his injuries. I can't say that he was happy, it is deemed an honorable thing to serve in the IDF and it is a common experience that all Israeli youth share. It causes them to mature in a very short time, and to take responsibility. There have been studies done on the fact that so many start up businesses succeed in Israel that become successful international businesses because of the army experience and background.
Ami's heart desire is to continue with basketball on a more professional level and to study. Please pray for open doors and direction.
COURT CASE
Our next hearing in the Jack Teitel case is scheduled for Sept. 5, 2010. Please pray that a decision will finally be made on whether he is able to stand trial at this time. The waiting is hard but the long period of testing is also highly irregular according to our lawyer. He spoke to two court psychiatrists who told him that having Teitel in the hospital for over 6 months for testing by the court is unheard of. We appreciate your prayers for right judgement, and for the trial to begin.
LAST DAYS WEATHER
There's much going on in Israel at this time, and of course our main worry is Iran, which is not only a threat to our country, but to the world. We need to be praying for our country's leaders because no matter who they are and what they believe, the Lord can speak to them and give them Light and Wisdom. We need to prepare our hearts for whatever will come upon this earth.
Israeli's are interesting people. Whenever we talk about the climate changes in the world, I tell them that I beleive we are experiencing "last days weather". They readily agree and many say that it is because of our sins that the world is falling apart! It gives good opportunity for discussion. There is so much happening at this time, but it will wait for another update.
We appreciate you and the fellowship that we share in the Messiah!
In Yeshua,
Leah
