King David writes in the Psalms:
” Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?”( Psalms 56:9) .
King David is giving a powerful picture of faith and trust. Though life may bring about tears and though our jouney may involve countless wanderings, G-d takes note of them all. He gathers them and is faithful to heal, reward and refill with joy the cracked vessels.
You can find this necklace in our Biblical Shop under Biblical Jewelry.
I was wanting to purchase three of these necklaces for three young women who just lost their mother to cancer. Would you be willing to offer a discounted price for three?
Shalom u’vrachot,

Shalom Moshe,
I have not been able to come “HOME” to Israel since 2007. Our church group (Pastor Philip Holman) from Richmond, KY USA will be there in November. We are unable to come this time but know that in the future we will.
I have the necklace and earrings and treasure them. One friend had blessed me with the earrings and another blessed me the next year with the necklace. At the times that I received these I truly was dealing with some heart break …… Thanks to answered prayers, this cracked vessel (my heart) has been healed and is now filled with Joy!
I hope you remember who I am, as we always come to your shop. You did a teaching for our group a few years back. It is my favorite shop to visit.

Dear Moshe;
I will be completing one of the things on my “bucket list”, and, a life long dream and that is to visit Eretz Y’srael. I will be coming on a tour with Joseph Good from HaTikvah Ministries.
I have known of you from years ago from an article you wrote which was published in the Bridges for Peace magazine and, I so appreciated that article.
I am looking forward to shopping @ your shop and introducing myself to you.
Blessings upon you and yours

How much does the Tears of Faith necklace cost in American dollars?
Hopefully, I will be able to return to your shop in May of 2012 with Wink Thompson’s group.
Sincerely,
Mary Stone
$54..hopefully we will see you back in Jerusalem
Moshe,
Where else in the Torah does it talk about tears?
I had once heard that God collects the tears of a wife. Is that true?
Just wonder if it states that specific.
Shalom Renee.
Great to hear from you..please send my best to your husband
as to your question
the issue of G-d hearing the tears of a women is talmudically sourced
From tractate Bava Metzi’a 59a
Rav said: One should always be heedful of wronging his wife, for since her tears are frequent she is quickly hurt. R. Eleazar said:11 Since the destruction of the Temple, the gates of prayer are locked, for it is written, Also when I cry out, he shutteth out my prayer. Yet though the gates of prayer are locked, the gates of tears are not, for it is written, Hear my prayer, O HaShem and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears.
the corollary is that G-d hears her tears
But the main verse relating to Hashem remembering all of our trials tears and wanderings is psalm 56:8
You have kept a record of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. They are already in your book.
Shalom Moshe,
I have been to Jerusalem 4 times and the last time was in 2003. I don’t recall that I ever visited Shorashim Bookshop. Tour-groups not always take you to all the interesting little shop.
Well, this year (from 19 of March till 11th of April) me and 2 other ladies will be visiting. One of them, Yolanda Stofberg brought me your book “The Teacher and the Preacher” ……how very, very inspiring and I do hope to see you when we (most deffinitely) visit your shop this time!
I would like to get myself one of the “tears-neglaces”.
