Parsha Sh’mini — Call to Duty, Guard, Consistency!

By Moshe Burt

For seven days, Moshe taught Aaron HaKohen and his sons the laws of their Avodah in the Mishkan. As stated in a previous Parsha HaShevua, in Old Country terminology, they received OJT from Shemayim.

Our Parsha Sh’mini begins by relating that on the eighth day, Aaron and his sons commenced their Avodah HaKodosh; meant to be constant and consistent for all time.

But our Parsha also relates the tragedy of the deaths of Aaron’s two oldest sons, Nadav and Avihu who died while performing an unauthorized Service, offering a “strange fire …, which he [Hashem] did not command them…” (Artscroll Chumash, Vayikra, Perek 10, posuk 1) And our Parsha relates that “Hashem spoke to Aaron saying: Do not drink intoxicating wine, you and your sons …, when you come to the Ohel Mo’ed (the Tent of Meeting), that you not die — this is an eternal decree for your gemerations. In order to distinguish between the sacred and the profane …” (Artscroll Chumash, Vayikra, Perek 10, p’sukim 8-10). read more

State Fosters Settler Mistrust

Excerpts;

Incredibly, the current Israeli leadership seems to be purposely fostering mistrust between the state and Israeli settlers in Judea and Samaria, making the likelihood of bloodshed the next time Prime Minister Ehud Olmert moves to uproot a Jewish community dangerously high.

Just days before the brutal destruction of the Amona outpost in Binyamin two months ago, the IDF succeeded in reaching a compromise deal with the Jews of Hebron regarding their removal from homes in an old vegetable market on the outskirts of the Avraham Avinu neighborhood. read more

Olmert’s Withdrawal: “Against United States Interests”

Americans Unite Against Further Pullout, by Aaron Klein

Excerpts;

Group calls Israeli plan to cede strategic territory victory for worldwide terror.

A number of Christian and Jewish American groups have announced the formation of an umbrella organization that will lobby against acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s plan to withdraw Jewish communities from the West Bank, arguing in part any withdrawal would be against United States interests.

“Olmert’s plan means the destruction of the Jewish state. Judea and Samaria is part of Israel’s biblical homeland. It borders Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and most other major Israeli cities. There is not a single doubt if Israel vacated this heartland it would be turned over to Islamic terror groups for use to attack Israel with missiles,” said Susan Roth, founder of the United Front for the Land of Israel, the new coalition of American organizations acting against an Israeli West Bank evacuation. read more

Pollard Campaign Blitz Kicks off This Week

Excerpts;

This week Israeli buses all over the country will be displaying gigantic poster ads (4 ½ meters long by 1 meter high) of JONATHAN POLLARD and the text: AYFOH HA’BOOSHA? (Where is the sense of shame?) Additional text in a box on the poster informs: JONATHAN POLLARD, 21 YEARS IN PRISON IN THE USA.

As the buses get rolling, a parallel campaign invites citizens all over the country to hang thousands of huge posters and banners on their balconies and building-fronts. These banners have the same graphic elements as the ubiquitous bus ads, but instead of a photograph will feature a graphic icon of Jonathan, and the text: ROTZIM ET POLLARD BABAYIT! (We want Pollard home!) Bumper stickers and info-stickers with the same logo and design will be distributed by the thousands all over the country. read more

Parsha Tetzaveh 5766 — Where’s Moshe? And What it Means …

by Moshe Burt

In our Parsha Tetzaveh, the laws regarding the annointment, the vestments and the Avodah (service) of the Kohanim are enunciated for the Jewish people. But wait! Stop the music. Something seems amiss.

Our Parsha, unlike any other place throughout Torah (including Sefer Devarim where Moshe himself speaks to the Jewish people in one continuous Mussar shmooze reviewing the laws and the events of the 40 years in BaMidbar and where each of the Parshiyot are distinguished only by the sections Halachas enunciated) from the time of his birth through Vezos HaBeracha, omits any mention of Moshe Rabbeinu. read more

AG Defends Decision to Evacuate Amona

Excerpts;

“Attorney General Menahem Mazuz told the special parliamentary investigative committee into the violent events at Amona on Tuesday that settler offers of a compromise that were presented to him prior to the Amona evacuation were untenable, not to the point, and unfeasible.”

“Mazuz added that the Amona structures had to be demolished because, ‘they were tainted with all levels of illegality.'”

“The structures were built on private Palestinian land,’ he said.” read more

Olmert & Kadima: Follow Me! But, Where?

Kadima: Follow Me to the Middle of Nowhere

Excerpts;

“Olmert stands for nothing and has accomplished even less.”

“Israelis love slogans. Come up with the right slogan, even if it makes no sense, if it’s a total lie, and they will support anyone, and any cause. Sell them ‘Peace Now’ wrapped up in little white doves, and they’ll vote for that. And if instead they get exploding buses and pizza parlors, dead babies on the streets, they won’t stop believing. They won’t look back and say: ‘Gee, those politicians were incompetent liars, let’s kick them out of office and keep them there.’ Not at all. Come up with another slogan and the exact same politicians will get their vote again.” read more

Column One: Ilan Halimi and Israel, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

“…There is one more aspect of the case that bears note. That is Israel’s reaction to the atrocity. In short, there has been absolutely no official Israeli reaction to the abduction, torture and murder of a Jew in France by a predominantly Muslim terrorist gang that kidnapped, tortured and murdered him because he was a Jew.“

“No Israeli government minister, official or spokesman has condemned his murder. No Israeli official has demanded that the French authorities investigate why the police refused to take anti-Semitism into account during Ilan’s captivity. No Israeli official flew to Paris to participate in Ilan’s funeral or any other memorial or demonstration in his memory. The Foreign Ministry’s Web site makes no mention of his murder. The Israeli Embassy in Paris – which has been without an ambassador for the past several months – only publicly expressed its condolences to the Halimi family on February 23, 10 days after Ilan was found. This, when the French Jewish community considers Halimi’s murder to have been the greatest calamity to have befallen it in recent years; when aliya rates rose 25% last year; and when Ilan’s mother has told reporters that her son had planned to make aliya soon and was just staying in France to save money to finance his move to Israel. For its part, as Michelle Mazel pointed out in The Jerusalem Post yesterday, the French press has noted that the Israeli media has not given the story prominent coverage. Halimi’s murder has not appeared on the front pages of the papers or at the top of the television or radio broadcasts.” read more
