It has been two years since the Gaza War began. Despite escalating pressure in the land of the Bible, the world did not expect the horrendous attack by Hamas and other militant groups on that still Oct. 7 morning as preparations for Simchat Torah, an annual celebration for the renewal of the reading of Torah, were being made.

That June, I had been working in the mountains overlooking Nablus, helping with a salvage excavation of a biblical site. We’d had a long day of physical labor and were relaxing on the van ride down Highway 60 back to Jerusalem. As we approached the settlement of Eli, a pickup truck in front of us screeched to a halt and two men exited the vehicle. One man brandished a pistol and climbed into the driver’s seat; the other ran toward us, yelling and waving his arms.

Unsure of what was happening and unwilling to stick around, our lead archaeologist and driver stepped on the gas. We ended up driving behind the pickup truck which screeched to a halt a hundred yards or so up the road by a gas station and hummus restaurant. The driver again left his vehicle and began firing his pistol into the parking lot near the gas pumps. Shots were returned from a man with an M-16. Our team hunkered down as our driver sped behind the scene, but not before the man in the parking lot was lying on the ground very still. It turned out that two Hamas gunmen had killed four Israelis who were eating and pumping gas. One gunman was shot and killed by the driver of the truck, an armed Israeli citizen who was shot twice but survived.

The other gunman fled the scene but was killed later that evening by the Israel Defense Forces. For the next week, retaliation was enacted back and forth between the Palestinians and Israelis in the region and we saw many plumes of black smoke from burned vehicles and fields of barley. Two months later, I walked through a police cordon at the Jaffa Gate where a young Palestinian teen had gone on a stabbing spree. The violence was escalating.

I have returned to the land of the Bible twice since the war began. Most recently, our archaeological team found ourselves enduring the Twelve-Day War.

Gemar chatimah tovah!

Sunset today (Oct. 1 this year) marks the beginning of the holiest day on the Jewish calendar: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. For the following 25 hours until nightfall on Oct. 2, Jewish people around the world fast from food and water and other activities, pray, reflect on their actions, confess their sins and seek forgiveness from those they may have offended.

In Israel, the normally busy highways are mostly quiet and businesses closed as many Jewish people spend this time in the synagogues, renewing their commitment to a life guided by faith and righteousness. Like many early followers of Jesus, the Apostle Paul, Luke and their companions kept the holy day fast when they were on their missionary journeys (Acts 27).

Tomorrow, at nightfall Oct. 2, Yom Kippur 2025 will conclude with a long blast of the shofar – that first marked the Jewish New Year during Rosh Hashanah – and greetings of Gemar chatimah tovah, which means “May you be sealed in the Book of Life.”

We pray the same for you all!
