Israel and Our Forefathers

Wow, a friend sent this to me from FaceBook.

It shows that the Hebrew word for Israel is actually made up of the first letters of all the names of our forefathers and mothers:

Isaac – יצחק

Jacob – יעקב

Sarah – שרה

Rebecca – רבקה

Rachel – רחל

Abraham – אברהם

Leah – לאה

Like the Bible says, we are truly the “children of Israel” (ישראל)!  😉

The Cost Is The Cost

Brilliant quote by Sholem Aleichem:

The less you pay for something, the more it costs. 

You might think you’re getting a bargain by paying less, but in the end, paying less ends up costing you more in troubles and headaches. 

The cost is really the cost. 

When you cut a penny in half, it still costs you the whole penny! 

You can’t nickel and dime it to death. 😉
