--Presents that come with your Presence—
The older I get the more I realize I don’t need material things as gifts for the holidays! A handmade card or a t-shirt is just fine—or maybe a few bucks in a Starbuck’s gift card.
But I find myself coveting something of much higher value to me. I’m referring to intangible gifts that can not be purchased because only God can give. I’m talking about gifts such as PEACE and WISDOM. My problem isn’t in the love department as much as it’s in the peace zone.
Even when we know that God loves us and even when He has already afforded us a good dose of heavenly wisdom, unless we have His peace which surpasses our human frailties, we can’t tap into the banks of this wisdom because we’re too up-tight and stressed out. We just can’t think straight.
So it is that first, we need to embrace the gift of God’s peace. King Solomon, known for his tremendous wisdom said: “A heart at peace gives life to the body,” Proverbs 14:30. I take this to mean that God is the sole Source of this peace because He created and formed the human heart. I also take it to mean that if this peace is embedded in our heart, absolutely nothing can take it away from us! This is who we are—peaceful people…peace makers.
So, this holiday season, let’s give of who we are not just what we purchase. Let’s reflect peace everywhere we go.
I leave you with the Prophet Daniel’s words: "Do not be afraid, O man highly esteemed," he said. "Peace! Be strong now; be strong," Daniel 10:18-19.
Happy Hanukkah & Merry Christmas!

PS, I was beginning to stress-out because I hardly ever promote the books God’s given me to publish. But, hey, if I’m going to exercise peace, I’m going to just put the word out and let God do the rest. Don’t forget my recent publication, “OUT FROM HIDING.” Just go to www.4sephardim.com and click on the Publications page and pay with your credit card via our Paypal system that’s worked just fine for us.

LIGHTS – CAMERAS – ACTION!
Hanukah Lights Up the Sanchez’
What more could I ask for–my new book published and now two brand new TV programs en español, in Spanish. But that’s not all! A film maker is doing a special documentary film on the work Helen and I do among our people, the Sephardic Anusim. Let’s chat about it for a moment or two.
First, let’s start with my new book, “Out from Hiding—Evidences of Sephardic Roots among Latinos.” This is the compilation of 15 years of investigation, travels and previous publications. It’s hitting the marketplace like a lightning storm. In it I expose new breakthroughs in the social as well as the hard sciences such as DNA.
Immediately after the book came out, I got invited to do a 30 minute Spanish teaching on this same subject on TV. I’ve been doing this for about seven years in English but now they want everything I have said in Spanish too.
And that’s not all; they’ve asked me to do a two hour talk show in Spanish on television on this very subject. So I’ll be bringing in guests from all over the country and abroad to tell their own stories on how they discovered their Jewish roots and how it’s impacted their lives. We’ll include a little cultura (culture) such as music, arts and la cocína (Sephardic kitchen practices).
As they say in TV commercials, “And that’s not all….” – a Texas film maker has begun a documentary that includes the work we’ve done for over all these years. In fact, they’re even flying us to Israel in January to do the documentary in our beloved Negev! The film will be aired on TV channels devoted to this type of film. I’ll keep you posted on the times and dates of airing.
So as you can see, this year, precious Hanukah (or Chanukah) has really lit our lives up big-time, like never before! And guess what. I want to give God all the thanks and glory because HE alone deserves it. I’m just an instrument for His purposes, and enjoy every breath of it. I want to thank those of you that never cease to pray for us and to stand in the gap for us in moral and practical ways.
But now, I think I must say this–I’m going to need your help in order to accomplish all of this in a noble way. What an awesome time as Hanukah to help me do all of this with your love gifts and donations. And what a great time to help me out by purchasing one, two or more of my brand new books. In order to do this, you can visit my website at www.4sephardim.com and check out the PUBLICATIONS page and place your order. Our Paypal system has worked very well for those of you wishing to make a special donation to this noble cause.
I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with my new book nor with my new TV programs or the documentary film. So please help me out now while the challenge is glaring with lights from heaven!
Happy Hanukah!
