Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai!
“To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.”
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath

Hello, Realmers! Things are hopping at Realm Central as I continue to write and edit another installment in the Realm universe! Please don’t think that I’ve forgotten you, dear friends. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There will come a time, one of Adonai’s choosing, when the publication process will begin, and it is then that I will return to posting during the week about all the things you’ve enjoyed in the past as well as new things to report!
As you wind down your creative process in anticipation of Shabbat, remember to say a prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and the swift return of Yeshua HaMashiach. Shalom Aleichem!

Shabbat Shalom!
“Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest.” – Mark Buchanan
Greetings, Realmers! Another week of editing occurred, so stay tuned for an update on that front. Otherwise, there isn’t much to report. I wish you rest and peace this Shabbat. Baruch HaShem for the sunshine in my neck of the woods. I hope you’re enjoying beautiful weather where you are. And now I must investigate the noises coming from my garage, which indicate my son the welder is out there creating who knows what!

Isaiah 27:13
On that day a great shofar will sound.
Those lost in the land of Ashur will come,
also those scattered through the land of Egypt;
and they will worship ADONAI
on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim.
Shabbat Shalom and remember to pray
for the peace of Yerushalayim!

Prayer for Those Being Held in Captivity
May the One who blessed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David, and Solomon bless, watch, and guard those missing from the Israel Defense Forces and our brethren of the House of Israel that are situated in distress and in captivity.
May the Holy One, blessed be He, grant mercy upon them, take them out from darkness and gloom, break their chains, redeem them from their ordeals, and return them quickly to the comfort of their families.
“Let them praise the Lord for His kindness, and His wondrous deeds for the children of man” (Psalms 107:8).
And through them, let the verse (Isaiah 35:10) be fulfilled, “And the Lord’s ransomed shall return, and come with shouting to Zion, crowned with joy everlasting; they shall attain joy and gladness, while sorrow and sighing flee.”
And let us say, Amen!

Shabbat Shalom to all those
praying for peace!
May He who blessed our fathers, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, in their standing guard upon our land and the cities of our God on land, in the air, and in the sea.
May the Lord give our enemies that rise against us plagues in front of them.
May the Holy One, blessed be He, guard and rescue our soldiers from all trouble and distress and from all affliction and illness; and send blessing and success in all the work of their hands.
May He crush those that hate us below them and crown them with the crown of salvation and with the wreath of victory.
And through them let the verse be fulfilled (Deuteronomy 20:4),
“For it is the Lord, your God, that walks with you to fight for you against your enemies to save you.”
And let us say, Amen.
