The sound of the shofar will echo across Israel this Rosh Hashanah as Jewish families welcome the Hebrew year 5787.

For thousands of years, the shofar has called the people of Israel to stop, remember and turn their hearts toward God. In this special Rosh Hashanah edition of Prayer Points, Kayla Sprague of ALL ISRAEL NEWS shares three ways we can pray for Israel as a new year begins. “See, I am doing a new thing!” — Isaiah 43:19

As the shofar sounds and families wish one another “Shana Tova”—a good year—may our prayer be that 5787 will truly be a year of healing, restoration and peace.
