80 ETHIOPIAN JEWS LAND IN ISRAEL
Approximately 80 Ethiopian Jews arrived in Israel on Wednesday evening as part of the government's commitment this year to bring more than 1,000 Ethiopians to Israel and integrate them into society. A.Y. Katsof, head of the Heart of Israel who has been raising money for Ethiopian aliyah, was among those who greeted the arrivals at the airport. He said that while waiting for them to come out of customs, "it was so exciting, but sad at the same time. I met Ethiopian Israelis in the waiting area who were going to see brothers, sisters, cousins, even grandparents for the first time." The new immigrants kissed the ground as they disembarked from the airplane. "You could see how happy they were to have arrived in Israel," he said, adding that "they erupted in dances of joy to have made it back to the Holy Land after 2,000 years of longing."

"A FAST IS AT HAND": ANDREWES ON THE LENTEN FAST
It is a robust, explicit defence of the Lenten fast, and the practice of the reformed ecclesia Anglicana in retaining it, refuting both Papalist allegations that such discipline was abandoned and Puritan invocations of 'Christian liberty'. What is more, it is a striking contrast with the abolition of the Lenten fast across Lutheran and Reformed Europe, reminding us of how the reformed ecclesia Anglicana - while judiciously pruning the liturgical year, and removing "the great excess and multitude" of ceremonies - retained the cycle of feast and fast in the Christian year, including both the Lenten and Fridays fasts, what Hooker had already defended as the "yearly or weekly fasts such as ours in the Church of England" (LEP V.72.1). Above all, however, Andrewes here offers a teaching model for contemporary Anglicanism to take seriously, in an era in which the basic practices which embody Christian life and Faith are at risk of being forgotten, significantly contributing to secularization and undermining the handing on of the Faith (relying as this does on embodied practices). Rooted in Scripture and lectionary, refuting misconceptions about (what we now term) Anglican identity, displaying pastoral wisdom, Andrewes offers clear, challenging teaching on the Lenten fast, its purpose and meaning. Or, as he had stated in the 1619 Ash Wednesday sermon, "And thus preach we fasting ... yea an evangelical fast".
