Signs of life can be found everywhere, and God is at work even in situations that may seem impossible. The first three photos bring a blooming greeting from the surroundings of the Sarigim house in May 2026.

43 degrees Celsius on the 18th of May Refreshing Greetings from Sahne ("hot" in Arabic), located in the Valley of Springs! The water temperature here remains around 28°C (82°F) throughout the year.

A brief contemporary history note is appropriate here. Please note that this is not a political statement. In 2005, under the leadership of Ariel Sharon, Israel carried out a unilateral disengagement operation from 18 Israeli communities in Gaza and 4 Israeli communities in northern Samaria.

Someone gave me some new, high-quality baby clothes from Finland and said, “Pass these on to someone who needs them”. During that same visit, I met a couple, who distributed clothing and food in Israel for decades. A fruitful partnership with them began and continued for nearly twenty years.

The work of the Sarigim charity continues and moves forward. In recent weeks, several international groups of various nationalities, individual visitors, and even a few Israelis have visited Roi moshav.

One of them sings: “On the mountains of Samaria, your wings rise in the wind.” Take a look at this video as well. At the beginning of November 2025,

In early October, Sarigim (Ruut) traveled along the Gaza border and in Jerusalem with a group from Asia. Sarigim and the group at the Gaza border During these trips, participants meet and bless local residents in tangible ways, sharing both their joys and their sorrows.
