Hamas wanted death so they have decided to respond with LIFE!

An interesting project has begun—and has immediately entered into high gear since time is of the essence.

In the exact areas where over 1,000 rockets and missiles fell, Israeli farmers will plant 100,000 new fruit trees! That's a ratio of 100-1.

Many of these new fruit trees will be planted in the actual holes made by the rockets!

This is a positive response to hate and destruction!

Fruit trees mean new life, sustenance, food, drink and blessings. A cup of wine to bless the Sabbath, olive oil to light the Menorah and much more.

The problem with this program is that it is extremely time sensitive since these 100,000 trees must be planted in the coming days. The Biblical Shmitta (Sabbatical) year begins in Israel on the Jewish new year of Rosh Ha'Shanah (Sept 24th). From that moment, no planting trees of any kind will be permitted in the Holy Land for one complete year!

The Bible states this very clearly:
"For six years you may plant your fields... but the seventh year is a Sabbath of Sabbaths for the land. It is G-d's Sabbath during which you may not plant your fields..." (Leviticus 25:3-4) (Photo via IsraelTrees.org)

The largest organization in Israel for planting fruit trees, "Zo Artzeinu" (Hebrew for "This Is Our Land") will be spearheading this project and making sure everything is done properly.

Israeli farmers are preparing the ground right now and have begun the back-breaking work. They will do all the physical labor but are asking for help from people all over the world in purchasing the actual tree and sophisticated drip irrigation system. This system is fully computerized and uses minimal water in irrigating the fields.

Israel has actually installed many of these systems in poor African countries which has helped millions of starving people. The organization is offering people to become a partner with the Israeli farmer by planting a tree from the comfort of one's home!

In addition to helping Israeli farmers, this project is also a GREAT way to bring blessing into your life!

God promises to bless anyone who helps keep Shmitta, the Biblical Sabbatical year, as it says; "I will ordain My blessing for you" (Leviticus 25:20).

Finally, this project is not only a great response to the enemy of Israel, it is actually the best way to insure an everlasting peace!

"Keep My decrees and safeguard My laws. If you keep them, you will live in the land securely. The land will produce its fruit, and you will eat your fill, thus living securely in the land... I will direct My blessing to you..." (Leviticus 25:18-21).

We wish them well on this project in rebuilding the land, planting before Shmitta and in bringing about a true and everlasting peace.
