Parsha Breish’t 5767: Post-Simchat Torah Rain; Lessons for the Jews…

By Moshe Burt

This author has, in years past, taken a vacation from compiling a vort, a Parsha HaShevua for Parsha Breish’t. Somehow, not being rabbinic or a Talmud Chacham, it has always seemed difficult to put true and deep meaning of Hashem’s creation to words.

“Cease ‘Dwelling Alone’ and You Cease to Exist. What a conundrum!”: Menachem Begin …

The First Word: The Case for ‘Dwelling Alone’, by Yehuda Avner (Jerusalem Post)

“If one asks how the ingathering of the exiles, which no one could have imagined in his wildest dreams, came about, or how the State of Israel could endure such severe security challenges, or how it has built up such a flourishing economy, or how the unity of the Jewish people throughout the Diaspora has been preserved, one must come back to the primary idea that this is ‘a people that dwells alone.’ More than that, one must invoke this phrase not only to understand how the Jews have existed for so long; one must invoke it as a testimony to the Jewish right to exist at all in the land of their rebirth.” read more

Soros Moves on Israel: MoveOn.com and Resurrection of the Leftist “Victim’s Syndrome”

Column One: Soros Moves on to Israel, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“To rebuild American political support for Israel and to enhance the US-Israel alliance, it is imperative that Israel be capable of understanding the nature of this support.

Excerpts;

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s speech at the American Task Force for Palestine’s inaugural dinner in Washington on Wednesday evening was but the latest sign that America’s alliance with Israel is weakening. read more

Weeping Willows No Longer, by Michael Freund (Israel National News)

Commentary;

And the sooner that the Jews internalize this refusal and translate it into a top-to-bottom change in National leadership, including ALL political, bureaucratic, educational and social institutions, the sooner that the fruition of this refusal will be manifested! MB

Excerpts;

Today – Friday – is Hoshana Rabba, the last day of the holiday of Succot and one of the most mysterious days on the Jewish calendar. Mysterious, that is, because so few people seem to grasp its significance or appreciate its ritual. read more
