What to say on this wonderful day?

It looks as if people are getting wild

A whole new zoo spirit is on the news

The zoo is exploding with life

Sudden the sloth enters the room

And gets busy doing major mental work

Nothing is making sense accept

The many types of food on the Menu

The wicked is not so apparent now

Even when a crisis hits

There is no bleeding cow

You can all feel secure as you log on

Then log off for the melody of love

The sweet cherry

Time is like a tooth being knocked out

Twist your body

Twist and shout.

Hundreds of Black Christian Leaders Arrive in Israel Stand for Israel | November 4, 2026 Pastors Delegation - Western Wall_28.Photo: Buksa Digital Ltd. The Unfinished Business Pilgrimage is an initiative established by the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations that will bring 500 representatives to Israel to visit biblical sites, meet with victims of the October 7, 2023, attacks, and show their support for the Holy Land and the Jewish people. The pilgrimage also honors Martin Luther King Jr.’s planned trip to Israel in the late 1960s, which never took place because of his assassination. The Times of Israel reports that hundreds of representatives have already arrived, with more expected later this week. There is a “mountain of support rising from the Black church,” says Pastor Michael A. Stevens, Sr. The leaders of the pilgrimage present gifts to victims of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre, including freed hostage Elkana Bohbot; Hila Abir, whose brother Lotan was murdered at the Nova music festival; and Daniel Lischinsky, whose son Yaron was murdered alongside his fiancée Sarah Milgrim at an Israeli embassy event in Washington, DC. Ther rest of the participants arrive tomorrow, and will visit biblical sites across the country, as well as the site of the Nova massacre. Steven says that Jewish and Black Americans had a tradition of coming together to “establish what was right, and to set the tone for the nation and for the world.” “If anyone should stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters, it ought to be African Americans, it ought to be Africans,” he continues. Stevens also says the mission’s main objectives are to raise awareness of rising anti-Semitism around the world and build bridges between Black Christian leaders and the Jewish people. The Fellowship is proud to be part of this mission, with Senior Director of Outreach Pastor Roger Cheeks having helped establish the Black Christian Leaders Council on Israel Relations earlier this year. Meanwhile, both the U.S. and Israel are experiencing political developments following their respective elections. In the U.S., the Democratic Party gained control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. In Israel, President Isaac Herzog has received the results and begun consultations to determine who will receive the mandate to form the next government. He also reiterated the importance of avoiding a second election.
