(JNS.org) With Rosh Hashanah approaching, Christian supporters of Israel have raised thousands of dollars to rebuild a Samaria-based honey farm that was destroyed by Palestinian vandals.

Several hundred Christian Zionists from around the world contributed over $15,000 toward the reconstruction of the Dvash Kedumim honey factory after Palestinian thieves apparently severely damaged the farm and stole the business’s entire stock of award-winning honey just weeks before the Jewish new year.

During Rosh Hashanah, Jews customarily dip apples in honey to symbolically welcome a sweet new year.

“The efforts by these Christians send a powerful message: The Bible, and its message about a land flowing with milk and honey, is stronger than terrorism and can beat BDS,” said Rabbi Tuly Weisz, founder of Israel365, an Israeli non-profit that promotes the biblical significance and physical beauty of Israel.
