 Portion Va Et Cha nan - Moses pleads, Hamas Attacks the Ten Commandments, and Politics

Lets make this quick because I write this on a fast day (9 AV)

Moses left Egypt - and Moses Maimònides too -
(Also from Egypt? YES but now buried in Tiberias
where I was this week)

So what are Moses pleadings right from his first words?

(This Message Completed Friday 15th Av - a Holiday)

But Wait! Quick is not in the cards for this Portion of:

Ten Commandments (repeated in the Torah again -
now to seek World Holiness)
and
Shemah Yisrael (yes there IS a G-d)
and
And Answers (it says) you MUST teach to your Children -
Or grandchildren -who must get the points of WHY we LEFT EGYPT

Okay - quickly - the portion teaches us HOW

to love G d love wisdom love the way we are
ALL IN THE THE WORLD COMMANDED -

to Love children and Shabbos and Holiness.

Is this a little much to absorb for a summer weekend? Okay...
Certainly Hamas doesn't get it! Who are those terrorists anyway?

So why is there NO HOLIDAY CALLED HOLINESS DAY? In ANY country!

Today is "15th of Av" - sometimes called the Holiday of Love

but it is really (see the Talmud) the Holiday of Making Matches -

But Isn't That the FIRST STEP TOWARDS WORLD PEACE?

In the 10 Commandments is says
Do Not Kill - is that SO hard for nations to swallow?

How Stupid Not to end lies like UN accusing Israel every week,
and ignoring Random Missles shot at civilians by crazies in Gaza
( with a taste for blood - and money)

And the propaganda from Putin ?

and Communist China is just Testing Missles - why?
Not to frighten people into enslavement by the

Peoples Republic of Chinese Manufacturism?

10 COMMANDMENTS covers a LOT OF MILEAGE in SEEKING PEACE

WHY do cartels and drug lords stoop to terrorism and gangsterism?

Arent there any smart honest leaders in the world to stop their abuses?

So Moses pleads right from the first words of this Portion:
asking the Almighty:

I listened,
I didnt attack Edom
I only Defended when attacked by Amalek and Moav and Og

I set up Honest Courts in the desert

So
Let me please - Almighty - go into Israel

And teach the world by example

How to set up a Sane Society

The answer he got was ... it seems ... the world wasn't ready yet

Are we finally ready on this year's 15 of Av - ready
to share a HOLY vision FOR ALL

the same as we read in the Torah
"Hear oh Israel ... yes there is an Almighty -
Whose NAME is ONE?

Shabbat Shalom
