From Hating Jews to Loving Jesus

This special moment took place during a 'Shalom House' gathering in the beautiful village of Poriyah Illit, just outside Tiberius and overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Shalom Houses, facilitated by Helping Hand Coalition, are a weekly meet-up group where Holocaust Survivors can gather around a meal, share stories and build friendships. They are a life-line to these elderly people who are often struggling financially and socially. Shalom Houses happen all over Israel but this was the first one in the Tiberius area.

Many of the Survivors speak Russian and during the meeting they were entertained with music and song in Russian. They were particularly amused to see the singers 2-year old son sitting on her lap while she played the piano. Another talented musician played traditional Jewish songs on the violin.
May the testimony of the man from Galilee who transforms hearts from hate to love be a seed that bears much fruit in the hearts of these brave warriors.
