So guys ....
Listen to this .....
This Shabbos in Israel we "leined" Parshas Naso ....
We only have one day Shevuois, and Shabbos was no longer YomTov....
I want to point out how great Israel is .....and that everything that happens in this historic land is connected to Tanach...
even the opening of IKEA!
IKEA opened up this week ... Parshas Naso...
in a little town in Beit Shemesh called Eshtaol ....
the town Eshtaol is near the city of Zorah......
The haftorah of Parshas Naso talks about Shimshon who lived in Beit Shemesh. In fact, Shimshon and his father Monoach are buried here in Beit Shemesh!
When Shimshon was born, Hashem blessed him .....
But where? In which city?
Read the very last two lines of the haftorah!
'ותלד האשה בן ותקרא את שמו שמשון, ויגדל הנער ויברכהו ה'
ותחל רוח ה' לפעמו במחנה דן בין צרעה ובין אשתאל
"The woman gave birth to a son, and she called him Shimshon, the lad grew and Hashem blessed him.
The spirit of Hashem began to resound in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol."
By the way Dan ben Yaakov is also buried here in Beit Shemesh..
Swedish furniture and interior design giant IKEA opened its fifth store in Israel in the town of Eshtaol near Beit Shemesh, daily financial newspaper Globes reported on Sunday.
IKEA already operates stores in Netanya, Rishon Lezion, Kiryat Ata (near Haifa), and Be'er Sheva. A space reserved for kitchens has been installed at the Tel Aviv port.
The company has invested NIS 390 million (USD110 million) in the new establishment, which opened despite allegedly committing numerous construction violations.
The Jerusalem District Appeal Committee last week dismissed claims about construction-related offenses since the opening of the branch would create hundreds of jobs, crucial at the time when Israel's unemployment is the highest in history due to the coronavirus crisis.
The new IKEA covers more than 25,000 square meters, with 39 rooms displaying 8,000 products on sale. The new store has 380 employees, including management, customer service, cashiers, logistics, and warehouse staff, along with catering staff.
The outdoor parking lot has nearly 900 parking spaces.
