What is Shabbat?
Shabbat is the Hebrew word for the 7th day of the week on which God rested from creation thereby making it holy and a day of rest for His people. The Jewish people have a special greeting that is more like a blessing for this day—Shabbat Shalom! May you have a blessed and peaceful Shabbat! Join me here each Friday for a Shabbat Shalom devotional and a peaceful close to a busy week.
Subscribe to this channel so you will receive a Shabbat Shalom blessing each week!

Susan’s involvement with the ICEJ began as a graduate student at Jerusalem University College in 1980, the same year that the Christian Embassy was first established. Upon completing her master’s degree in Judeo-Christian Studies, she returned from Israel with a heart to further the Embassy’s mission among fellow Americans. After a season assisting the ministry’s international leadership to host a series of high-profile pro-Israel conferences across the United States, she was asked to head up the ICEJ’s USA Branch.
In addition to a master’s degree in Judeo-Christian Studies, she holds a bachelor’s degree in theology from Oral Roberts University and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by Piedmont International University in 2018.
Dr. Michael leads the American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLI), has authored books, such as Encounter the 3D Bible: How to Read the Bible So It Comes to Life, and has developed educational resources, including the IsraelAnswers website, ICEJ U online courses, and curricula for Christian colleges.
