“Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him'" (New International Version, Ezekiel 37:16 Multilingual).

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Senior dog Wolfe is suffering from a case of Black Dog Syndrome (if you missed our recent post discussing this problem, see here: http://on.fb.me/1pqOHuI). And he’s having an extra hard time finding a home because it.

Samantha from Social Tees Animal Rescue wrote, “black dogs are euthanized in higher numbers than any other color dog. But when you see this gorgeous fairy tale likebeauty, you’ve got to stop and wonder how that could ever be? Wolfe is a charming, adoring 8-year-old Belgian Shepherd. He’s very loyal and great with other dogs and cats — he’s lived with two of each!

Wolfe is mellow and sweet with everyone he meets. This boy is so deserving of his forever home, so that he can spend his golden years peaceful and happy with people that truly love and care for him. He is so worth it….he will love and serve you forever.

He is also fully house trained. He will let you know when he needs to go. He is very low maintenance. Even though he is a senior dog, he is very energetic and loves to take walks! Wolfe is truly an amazing dog with a lot of heart.” 
Social Tee Animal Rescue is a “mom and pop” organization (in their words), so even if you’re not in the position to adopt, we encourage you to reach out and see what else they might need.
