Breaking News - From Fires to Floods in Israel



Just days after the deadliest fire in modern Israeli history, we are dealing with some of the biggest rain storms in recent memory.  


In just a couple of days, Israel has received two months worth of rain!  The Sea of Galilee (Israel's primary source of water) has risen 5-6 centimeters!  Snow is falling not only in the north but also in Jerusalem!  


This is an answer to prayer, as we have been in a serious drought for years!  But these storms have been anything but gentle.  Below are headlines and links to news stories about the big storm, and the continuing aftermath of the deadly fires:
