#519 Anger, or the Will of Your Creator
The Chozeh of Lublin once wanted to arise early in the morning to take care of an important matter. The day before, he asked his wife to prepare his evening meal earlier than usual. But it turned out that the meal was prepared much later than usual.

He commented, "It would be natural for me to become angry now. But the only reason I wanted to have the meal early was to do the will of my Creator. This, too, is the will of my Creator that I should not become angry."

A huge difference: the Sea of Galilee five months ago and today

Five months ago and today today - the many rains of blessing that have fallen in our country recently led to a significant increase in the level of Lake Kinneret. In the past 24 hours the water level of the Sea of Galilee has risen by 11 cm and now stands at 211.96 meters.

2,600 Year-Old Seal Bearing Name Of “Servant of the King” (Kobi Harati).
He did away with the horses that the kings of Yehuda had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the House of Hashem, near the chamber of the eunuch Nathan-melech, which was in the precincts. He burned the chariots of the sun.
2 Kings 23:11 (The Israel Bible™)

2,600 Year-Old Seal Bearing Name Of “Servant of the King” Found in City of David
A clay seal bearing the inscription, “Natan-Melech, servant of the king” was found in the City of David. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the find, dating it to the First Temple period. Natan Melech is mentioned in the book of II Kings as a servant of King Josiah. He lived near the entrance to the Temple, close to the courtyard where the horses had been kept that were used in sun-worship before Josiah disposed of both the horses and the chariots that they had pulled.

The seal impression that was uncovered was deciphered by Dr. Mendel-Geberovich, who dates it to the middle of the seventh century to the beginning of the sixth century BCE.

“Although it is not possible to determine with complete certainty that the Nathan-Melechwho is mentioned in the Bible was in fact the owner of the stamp, it is impossible to ignore some of the details that link them together,” Mendel-Geberovich said in a statement.

Magnificent!
No govt agencies involved, no politicians, simply connect to a fellow Jew directly, help him/her plant a tree for both, and share the merit of the Mitzva.

They mention specifically the number 18 - because in Hebrew it means "Chai", or alive, as in "Am Yisrael Chai!"

Such a heartwarming idea...
Should be multiplied, all over the country and in every family house backyard.
