Shabbat

Portion BeChuKoTai - the antidote for ALL

Portion BeChuKoTai - the antidote for ALL
 
 
The portion contains curses and warninĝs
about what happens
When ego and greed get the better of us
 
And 
 
also if we don't respect "the Land".
 
So
What does the Portion tell us?
That we "will be swallowed up in our exile."
What does that prophecy mean?
 
Look at the Jewish Exile
 
Why do we
1. ALWAYS PERSIST IN MAINTAINING OUR
DISTANÇES FROM TOO MUCH JEWISHNESS?
 
And
2.
How is that a PART OF THE CURRENT ANTI ISRAEL Environment is from Jews?
 
What Does Their Hatred mean for the world?
 
 
Below Picture : Synagogue at Ben Gurion airport on my way to NY...
 
While I was waiting to pray
Before boarding my flight to the US, 
 
And I was
Studying Talmud ...page 91 Baba Metzia -
 
Which Talks about who you have to feed,
And when workers can drink what they want as they make the wine....
 
You dont have to be a prophet
To understand
Some things that simply make sense
 
Basic human values are daily ignored
 
If there  is no connection to 
A G-dly plan 
 
Or if you believe G-d created any people
To be used as target practice
Or to be targets of your home grown rage
 
Yes, the Portion tells us to walk in
G-dly paths
 
May we all focus at least a few minutes a day on finding
And leading the world
Towards G-dly paths
 
Shabbat Shalom
