As much of Israel is on holiday this week, many have gone to the beach, the desert and other parts of Israel.  At the same time, a heat wave has hit Israel with temperatures that will climb to 39 degrees Celsius/102 degrees Fairenheit in some parts of the country today.  Pregnant women, the elderly, and the homeless often suffer health issues from the heat.  Also, forest fires are more likely to happen. Please pray that the Lord will protect His people and all those visiting His land during this time.
