Parsha Terumah 5766: What Motivates Men?

By, Moshe Burt

Last year, this author wrote regarding man’s motivations, equating them with what drives the athlete in the beginning, or as we baseball fans say, in the “Big Inning”. And as has been done regarding other Parshiyot, this year a revisit of the motivation of men seems appropriate.

What drives the high-priced athlete? The big and increasing paycheck? The “Team effort?” Increased or enhanced fame and influence? Love and study of the game? What drives them? 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

Israel’s March of Folly

Excerpts;

“One by one the layers of absurdity are being stripped off the bizarre mix of irrationality and irresponsibility that has masqueraded as government policy in the country for almost a decade and a half since the fall of the Shamir government in 1992.”

“Probably few remember that the current ‘March of Folly’ began during the 1992 election campaign. It was then that the Labor Party, headed by the late Yitzhak Rabin and spurred on the wooly-headed dovish elements in his own party and by reckless radical factions to the left of it, proclaimed to the Israeli electorate it would break what they denounced as decades of unnecessary stagnant stalemate on the Palestinian issue.” read more

From Hotels To Nitzan – by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim/Nitzan

Excerpts;

“The cartons and suitcases had been trucked in a week earlier. Family, friends, teenage volunteers, two granddaughters and my eighty-nine year old mother in law arrived to begin the process of moving into the notorious ‘caravilla’ that we will call home for the next two to three years. The Expulsion Authority had sent us our final warning: leave the hotel or we will cease payment for your stay. We took a few extra days to put our caravan into order so that we would move into a livable home.” read more

“Ex-agent Rafi Eitan, one of the most veteran, senior figures in Israel’s intelligence community, has never before spoken about his role in the Pollard espionage affair, which to this day stirs up emotions in both Israel and the U.S., and which tainted his reputation and ended his hopes of eventually heading the Mossad. ”
