Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

.

Commentary;

If this is not food for the next police investigation of Prime Minister Olmert, then who knows what is? Can Olmert be working on behalf of this Arab mobile phone company merely in the interest of “confidence building (sic)?”

Or is this another case, just like Sharon, Weisglass and their connection with the PA’s bombed out Jericho Casino? One has to wonder about the existence of possible financial ties between Olmert, the Pa. and Pa. Chairman Chairman Mahmoud Abbas or Abbas’ son. MB read more

At the conclusion of Parsha Shemos, Moshe and Aaron are confronted, upon exiting Pharoh’s Palace, by the B’nai Yisrael who are in deeper despair than before because of the increased workload which resulted from Pharoh’s fury at Moshe’s first effort to secure their freedom and exit from Mitzrayim.

Our Parsha begins with the dialogue which Moshe Rebbeinu has with Hashem prior to again speaking to the B’nai Yisrael. And so, after
Hashem rebukes Moshe for his complaint and reassures him that redemption is at hand, Moshe again addresses the B’nai Yisrael as to his meeting with Pharoh. read more
