President Trump has designated this Friday night and Saturday as “Shabbat 250,” calling on Americans of all backgrounds to set aside time for “rest, reflection, and gratitude to the Almighty.” Israel365 is gathering this Thursday, May 14th at 2 PM EDT for a live prayer call to explore what God is doing in this extraordinary moment.
