Shabbat

Portion Kedoshim (Part 2 with Holocaust and the Bus Drivers) Kedoshim (HOLY PEOPLE) in Israel

 
 Portion Kedoshim (Part 2 with Holocaust and the Bus Drivers) Kedoshim (HOLY PEOPLE) in Israel
 
Remember : In Israel Passover ended Friday
But OUTSIDE ISRAEL Passover continued Saturday until nuightfall
 
So this week I  present THE SECOND HALF  of AchrayMoess -( related to the End of Kedoshim)
 
Which we also read on Yom Kippur afternoon (SO It must be Super Important if we read it then)
 
 
But first - today is Holocausr Remembrance day in Israel (So next week is Independence Day here)
 
Sadly 15000 holocaust survivors died last year! Last Night on the radio 6 people told their stories
 
One each from Hungary Holland and Libya etc ...
 
And I heard this from a Frenchman elder survivor in the Great Synagogue Senior Learning Center
 
The Holy Bus Driver...? The French guy speaks Arabic and asked an Arab bus driver why he looked so angry
 
He said "I work 12 hours a day and just got my paycheck for only 19000 shekels (about $6000)
 
So - my French friend asked him "How much would you make in Syria" - and the driver laughed-
 
You are right - my brother drives a bus in Damascus and makes $1000 a month for working harder and 7 days a week
 
So - my French friend asked him "why are all the drivers for this company Arabs?
The driver laughed again and said- the company is owned by a Saudi Arabian Sheikh!
 
You are right - ONLY IN ISRAEL CAN ARABS WORK AND INVEST FREELY!
 
SO WHY ARE THEY DAILY THROWING FIREWORKS AT US FROM ABOVE THE ESTERN WALL?
 
WHY ARE THEIR PREACHERS SAYING DEATH TO THE JEWS?
 
Holocaust Rememberance means NOTHING to most of the world - not even the laughing bus driver.
 
Remember - he works for Saudi Arabia!
 
How soon the world has kearned to ignore the holocaust as well as the History of the Torah!
 
Where is the sense - in Putin and the Iranians and North Korea?
Did they lose their senses or just gave into animal acts?
 
G-d created us with senses - and some  "horse sense"
 
But when it gets lost - the "devil" comes out.
 
Remember - the word Devil is "Do Evil" - in so many ways!
 
So the portion adds a level of punishment to last week's warnings about losing humanity in the rush for ego excitement.
 
Wake  Up World!
 
Too many tragedies await if we forget how we got here!
 
Shabbat Shalom from pIsrael
