Portion COUNTING COUNTS (Behar in Israel/Emor in the vast diaspora)
So are we really far apart? In time - in space - in our hearts?
First - get a Mitzva by simply reciting "today is the 27th day of counting the omer"
and tonight after dark say
"today is the 28th day of counting the omer"
(it's good to recite and add a day until Shavu-Oat - early June - would be the 50th day)
WHY DOES THE ALMIGHTY TELL OUR PEOPLE TO KEEP COUNTING?
Emor (read last week in Israel) includes the Mitzva of Counting 7 Weeks (49 days)
from Passover to Sha-Vu-Oat
while
Behar (reading tomorrow in synagogues all over Israel) - includes the Mitzva of counting 7 year cycles 7 times (totalling 49 YEARS) - until the 50th year - Yovel / Jubilee
MAYBE BECAUSE SOME THINGS TAKE TIME TO SINK IN?
For me I know that's true!
Is that enough?
There's LOTS in both portions - like
what's incribed on the LIBERTY BELL in Philadelphia
and
Even a review of ALL the holidays (so we don't forget...?)
But I will just add one piece of NEW HISTORY
Many Arab leaders (forget about Putin today) spread lies about Israel
(and some "Jewish Leftists" - like pro-Russian leftists in the world
also feel a need to keep pushing lies against Israel)
Why?
Let's just start with what I just wrote:
what's incribed on the LIBERTY BELL in Philadelphia?
"Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land"
that is scary to dictators and their thugs
and
Who gave the world a day off every week? -
Just
See the "review of ALL the holidays (so we don't forget...?)"
including the Sabbaths!
That is scary to workaholic bosses - and tyrants all over
Or just want to STEAL our little land and Kill all the Jews -
since the Roman Destruction 2000 years ago? -
who built up in 100 years a desert that lay WASTE
the only people that really has no interest in controlling the world?
Stealing Lies and Hatred are non-Jewish
Anti-Jews rely on all those things
Enjoy and be proud of being (counted) Jewish
Lag B'Omer Samayach (happy 33rd counting day next week!)
AND
Shabbat Shalom
