To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“Our Relief Society, in Singen, Germany, has been knitting these little caps to send to Africa for the newborn babies. The babies require their heads to be covered soon after they are born or many end up dying from being exposed to the elements. We are happy to be involved in this worldwide […]
The letter Ayin ע and the letter Aleph א are both silent letters when pronounced in Hebrew. The Aleph which is the first Hebrew character represents God. Ayin means eye or sight in Hebrew.
