Good Shabbos Friends;
This blog put out an announcement about an Online Hebrew course between Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur.
We are repeating the announcement now as it is always timely and there are undoubtedly those who have participated in High Holiday tefillos who would benefit from utilizing this course to develope and improve their Hebrew reading skills in time to light Chanukah candles with a Bracha.
Dictionary.co.il has created an online video course that teaches
total beginners how to read Hebrew and more in just 2 hours. It
covers all the letters, vowels, and some vocabulary as well.

Commentary;
Eleven days ago, this blog posted a piece; Painless, No Cost Ways to Fight the Regime’s Planned Give-Away of Jerusalem, Har HaBayit. Prominent on this post was a call for support of Shurat HaDin’s struggle against the Islamic crimes of desecration being committed on the Temple Mount.
Today, Dr. Aaron Lerner’s IMRA site reports that 150 Israeli citizens have taken up the call, signed up and enabled Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and Shurat HaDin to initiate this litigation.

As is so often the case, Barak of IRIS hits the mark again with the post ‘Israel Should No Longer Grant Automatic Citizenship to Jews.’
In speaking before a Jewish Agency Board of Governors meeting in Jerusalem, Sheetrit was not merely addressing the issue the B’nei Menashe from India. He called for a five-year waiting period for citizenship.
He explained that “Israel should become like every other country. I want to see that [the immigrant] is not a criminal, that he’s learning Hebrew; that he’s here for five years before getting citizenship.”

Commentary;
The Olmert, Barak, Ramon regime will stop at nothing; sanctions, short-range missile interception systems, etc. in order to avoid doing what needs to be done — to eliminate the weapons smuggling, manufacture and the army which launches the missiles in the first place.
Former defense minister Moshe Arens writes (excerpt of full article below);
One does not have to be a rocket scientist or nuclear physicist to understand that the shorter the range of the ballistic missile to be intercepted, the more difficult interception becomes. When our defense minister announces that within two and a half years we will have an operational interception system against Kassam rockets – rockets which have a range of only a few kilometers – one should wonder whether this is a reasonable time scale and whether the Defense Ministry’s estimates on how much this will cost are correct.

Commentary;
Recently Bitterlemons.org conducted an interview with Palestinian Waqf supervisor Adnan Husseini. Here is the text of the point he made;
Husseini: We want a city with two sovereignties, open to each other and with full recognition between the two sides. There will certainly be technical issues that will need practical resolution, but nothing to do with the fundamental issues of land sovereignty.
The holy places are a closed file. This is not negotiable. The Aqsa Mosque is not something that can be compromised on, nor is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This is a closed file. The Old City is the heart of East Jerusalem, and everything else is the natural extension of this city.

Excerpts;
While not rejecting outright the option of power cuts to the Hamas-controlled Gaza region in response to continued enemy rocket attacks from the PA, Attorney General Menachem Mazuz said Monday night that the measure should be suspended. The government requires Mazuz’s approval in order to carry out the sanctions.
