Merry Christmas from Jerusalem!

To our Christian friends celebrating Christmas,

"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." - Isaiah 9:2

Christmas celebrates the fulfillment of this ancient prophecy - the moment Light came into the world. As we mark this in the very land where it happened, we're filled with gratitude for partners like you who share our love for Israel and its story.

The past two years brought challenges we never expected. Your faithfulness sustained us - you kept praying, kept reaching out, kept standing with Israel through uncertain times.

Now we're experiencing renewal. Summer brought pilgrims home, autumn exceeded our hopes, and Israel feels alive again with anticipation for what's ahead. We believe 2026 holds extraordinary promise.

As a token of our gratitude, we're sending you the new Sar-El 2026-2027 calendar featuring Jewish feasts and holidays in Israel - something small to keep you connected to the rhythms of life in the Land of the Bible, and perhaps help you plan your next visit!

Thank you for standing with us.

Merry Christmas from Jerusalem! May the Prince of Peace fill your season with joy, and may 2026 overflow with blessings.

Samuel Smadja and the Sar-El Family
