and thine eyes from tears;
for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord:

and there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord,
that thy children shall come again to their own border."
JerMIAh 31:16 17:
We wish you all the Merriest Christmas, the Happiest Hanukkah and all the best for a healthy and Happy New Year.
