Standing Stones

 Following our Rabbi
we learned that in life one should always have a Rabbi and a disciple




Higher up where old standing stones
Standing stones were erected to remember a story
Usually at the top of a hill or tell 
(a tell is a hill of layers of civilization)

  When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,  “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,  and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”

 At tell Gezer 
the story that belongs with the Standing Stones is lost

We are also Standing or Living Stones:
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house



Do you know someone who was a "standing stone" for you?
Go and thank them!
we sang; "I love to tell the story"

 Gezer is on the valley of Aijalon
It is so big (19 layers of civilization) because 
it is at a very strategic place in the world on the 
Via Maris the main road in the ancient world from 
Europe / Asia to Africa
In Salomon's time 1.500.000 people used this road 


It is still strategic


God has put us too on the cross roads of society 
and sometimes our story gets lost
