Eitan said that according to Mazuz, without such a clause, Israel would be committed to any agreement signed at the conference, irrespective of the Knesset’s position. read more

Parsha Vayeishev 5768: Yosef and the Pit and Our Gush Katif Brethren — Miracles for All Time

.

by, Moshe Burt

Two years ago, just before Chanukah, a short article appeared on the INN website entitled; “Mortar Shells Filled With Chanukah Light” told about the Menorah made from some of the spent Islamic mortal shells which were launched on Neve Dekalim over the years.

Reading about this special Menorah which was lit at one of the Jerusalem hotels which temporarily housed many former Neve Dekalim residents, took me back in time to Philadelphia, in “the “old country” and to a point made by Rav Yehoshua Kaganoff about the pit in which Yaakov was thrown. The point bears repeating. read more

Olmert, Barak, Livni, Ramon, etc. — Israeli System of Governance, Institutions; Indictable for Subversion, Seduction Against the Jews?

UPDATED

This author has just finished learning Gemara Sanhedrin Chapter 11 — Cheilik, that is; to learn who is worthy of Olam Habah, who is not and who goes from this world to Gehennom for their deeds.

The final Mishna cited in Perek Cheilek deals with the Subverted or Seduced City (Ir HaNidachas). This Mishna takes up the last two pages of the chapter 11.

Regarding the Regime’s Plans for Jerusalem Handover: “If I Forget You, Oh Jerusalem…” Are the Jews “Not Getting It?”

.
Commentary;

As incredible as it seems, many Jews just don’t seem to be getting the message — Jerusalem and Har HaBayit; the heart of the Jewish people, the direction we pray to, what the Jews have longed for, strived for throughout the entire long Golus, is on the chopping block. And it is NOT by the hand of the nations — it is not by the hand of President Bush, or Condelezza Rice that it is on the block, but by the hands of Ehud Olmert and his Trial Balloon Man Haim “the pervert” Ramon. read more

Feiglin: Israeli Askenazi WASP, or S’fardi Lack of HaKaras HaTov?

.
This author takes serious issue with a mindset indicated in David Bedein’s report who’s leader poses this question; Is Feiglin a White Ashkenazi Sabra with Protexia?

Please note; this author recognizes and respects David Bedein’s moral integrity as one of perhaps two, possibly three credible journalists in ALL of Israel’s media (and a former Philadelphian, too). The issue is NOT with Bedein’s piece, but with a mindset in the S’fardi sector which gives rise to what Bedein detects. read more
