  • Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D
    Names 39.2 (June 1991) Most Common Jewish First Names in Israel Edwin D. Lawson1 Abstract Samples of men's and women's names drawn from English language editions of Israeli telephone directories identify the most common names in current usage. These names, categorized into Biblical, Traditional, Modern Hebrew, and Non-Hebrew groups, indicate that for both men and women over 90 percent come from Hebrew, with the Bible accounting for over 70 percent of the male names and about 40 percent of the female. Pronunciation, meaning, and Bible citation (where appropriate) are given for each name. ***** The State of Israel represents a tremendous opportunity for names research. Immigrants from traditions and cultures as diverse as those of Yemen, India, Russia, and the United States have added their onomastic contributions to the already existing Jewish culture. The observer accustomed to familiar first names of American Jews is initially puzzled by the first names of Israelis. Some of them appear to be biblical, albeit strangely spelled; others appear very different. What are these names and what are their origins? Benzion Kaganoffhas given part of the answer (1-85). He describes the evolution of modern Jewish naming practices and has dealt specifi- cally with the change of names of Israeli immigrants. Many, perhaps most, of the Jews who went to Israel changed or modified either personal or family name or both as part of the formation of a new identity. However, not all immigrants changed their names. Names such as David, Michael, or Jacob required no change since they were already Hebrew names.

  • “Letting Go of Our Pride” Jonah 1:17-3:1 Today We Are in the Second Week of a Brief Study on the Book of Jonah in the Old Testament
    “Letting Go of Our Pride” Jonah 1:17-3:1 Today we are in the second week of a brief study on the book of Jonah in the Old Testament. Some have questioned its validity and whether or not it really happened, but I believe wholeheartedly that it did happen. Jesus Himself knew that it happened and even taught it to His followers. The message of the book of Jonah is powerful for all to hear and understand. Most people think they know what the book of Jonah is all about. Some will say that it’s about a great fish that swallowed Jonah. But there is much more to it than that. The great fish is only mentioned four times in the entire book. Some would say it’s about a great city called Nineveh. But, there is much more to it than that. The great city is mentioned only nine times in the book. Some would say that the book is about a disobedient prophet. But, again there is much more to it than that. Though the book bears the prophet’s name, his name is only mentioned eighteen times. To the surprise of most, the truth is that the book of Jonah is all about God. God is mentioned in this short book thirty-eight times. If we eliminated God from the book of Jonah, the book wouldn’t make much sense at all. Charles Spurgeon said about Jonah, “The life of Jonah cannot be written without God; take God out of the prophet’s history, and there is no history to write.” Because God is full of grace and mercy and is patient towards His people, we learn much about God through its pages.

  • The Bible in a Day
    THE BIBLE IN A DAY SESSION 4: Prophecy #5 - PROPHETIC LITERATURE Amos 3:8 The lion has roared—so who isn’t frightened? The Sovereign Lord has spoken—so who can refuse to proclaim his message? Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it! God gives the Law and he ___________________ it. UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETS A common problem we have in understanding the prophetic literature is that we focus on too narrow of a definition of the word “prophecy.” Less than 2% of OT prophecy is Messianic Less than 5% specifically describes the new-covenant age Less than 1% specifically concerns events yet to come in our time “Generally in the narrative books of the OT we hear about prophets and very little from prophets. In the Prophetic Books, however, we hear from God via the prophets and very little about the prophets themselves. This single difference accounts for most of the problems people have in making sense of the Prophetic Books in the OT.” -Gordon Fee Historical context is key: “God spoke in history and about history. To understand God’s Word we must know something of that history.” -Gordon Fee THREE GROUPS OF PROPHETS In this study, we’re going to look at the prophets in chronological order, because a familiarity with their historical backdrop will aid in understanding message.

    Unit 8 God Takes Care of Me Lesson 1: A Whale of a Tale Lesson 2: Daniel and the Lions’ Den Lesson 3: Paul and Silas Lesson 4: Elijah and the Ravens Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale God takes care of us every day. Sometimes in little ways we don’t even notice. Sometimes God does amazing things to take care of us too! Everyone say “God takes care of me!” In the Bible, God took care of a man named Jonah. Jonah was a prophet of God. Prophets tell God’s people messages from God. God tells prophets what to tell the people. One day, God gave Jonah a message for the wicked people of Nineveh. They would be punished if they did not stop doing bad things. Jonah didn’t want to go to Ninevah with God’s message. He got on a boat that was going far away. story continues on the next page 2 3 Lesson 1 A Whale of a Tale Jonah sailed away on the boat, but God sent a big storm. Jonah knew the storm would sink the boat if he didn’t get out of the boat. To stop the storm, the sailors threw Jonah over the side of the boat. Everyone hold your breath and try to swim! But Jonah did not drown in the waves! Jonah prayed to God. God sent a whale to swallow Jonah. Jonah stayed alive in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Everyone hold up three fingers! God took care of Jonah and kept him safe.

  • I Gave up on the Bible Because I Think That God Loves Everyone, but the Bible Is All About God Only Caring About One Particular Group Or Tribe.”
    You Can Run But You Can’t Hide July 9, 2017 Genesis 28 :10 -19 Pastor Roger Barkley Maybe you’ve heard someone say something like this: “I gave up on the Bible because I think that God loves everyone, but the Bible is all about God only caring about one particular group or tribe.” It’s possible to read a lot of the texts that way, but there is so much more going on in those pages. For example, there’s a little hidden gem - it’s only four verses long – that’s buried in the middle of the Abraham narrative we’ve been following for the past couple of weeks. It happens sometime after his nephew Lot had settled east of the Dead Sea. There had been an invasion by some neighboring kings who looted the cities of Sodom, Zoar and Gomorrah and carried away some of their residents, including Lot. When Abraham got wind of this, he gathered a band of 318 trained fighters and rescued Lot and returned the loot that had been pillaged. As Abraham was returning home, he was approached by someone we’d not met, and whom we will never hear from again. Genesis 14:18-20 And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; By the way, Salem most likely was a small town upon which Jerusalem was later built. Now pay attention here: He (that’s King Melchizedek) was priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave him one-tenth of everything.

  • JONAH: the Prophet Who Could Not Change
    JONAH: The Prophet Who Could Not Change YK 2017-5778 One night a ship’s captain was on the open sea when he spotted a light straight ahead in the distance. He flashed his signal light telling the other ship to veer 10 degrees to the West so they could safely avoid a collision. There was a return signal telling the captain to veer 10 degrees to the East. The captain signaled “I am a captain and demand you change your course. Who are you?” The response was, “I am a seaman and I am telling you to change your course.” The captain then responded, “I command this large freighter with an important cargo.” The seaman answered, “I am a seaman who monitors this lighthouse.” 1 The questions that might be elicited, Are you the Captain who feels he should not change? Are you the lighthouse attendant who cannot change? Or are you one who can easily change? One of the questions that must be asked on this holiest of days is, “Do we truly have the ability to change?” Are we like the lighthouse or are we the captains of our own ships? Having come to this day searching for our better selves and hopefully having passed through a period of internal wrestling with ourselves, the goal should be that we enter this new year not only with hope but also with a plan for improvement. To begin the year without some ideas and aspirations for improvement is to ignore every one of the multiple lists of transgressions, denying any faults.
