moshe

by, Moshe Burt

Call this a “Best of.” The points included in this Parsha HaShevua are timely and bare repeating.

Our Parsha Bamidbar, once getting past the numbers crunching of the census, speaks of Degalim: the flags of the Sh’vatim (Tribes), as a paradigm of Unity whch is inclusive of diversity within the various components, all of which play essential roles within a collective unity. Within a unity, there is room for integration and cooperation of diverse individual and group attributes, skills, strong points and actions when channeled toward the common goals of Unity, i.e. the common goals of B’nai Yisrael. read more

“Not a single country recognizes the unification of Jerusalem,” noted Labor MK Colette Avital, who heads the house’s Jerusalem caucus. “It was clear that the ambassadors would not come, so [Itzik] should not have invited them, thereby causing this embarrassment.” read more
