Portion VaYeeGash and
Those Darn Houtis missiles - woke up my little daughter 430 AM
All they do is call down more hell on their half of Yemen!
And prove what sickos they Iran and Turkey leaders are.
The Torah, however , is eternal
Portion VaYeeGash and proving Chanuka : Treasure Trove Of Hasmonean Era Coins Found On Chanukah In the Jordan valley. (See below link)
So a little story here (from Alon last night)
And a connection to Rabbi Bachya's explanations on the portion, who wrote that
On the way down to Egypt, Jacob sacrifices to the Almighty -
Elokei yitzchak - G-d of Isaac, his father
As Rabeinu bBachya ben Asher ( not the other one) says,
Not to the G-d of Avraham. ..
Because Jacob received the powers of Isaac
And the blessings of a return to Israel from various exiles-
From his father Isaac
Story:
Grandfather Father and little son are taken to Auschwitz
And father decides when he is liberated that
he wants nothing more of Judaism
And brings up the little boy who also miraculously survived
With no religion
For the boy's 13th birthday they go shopping for a gift and in the store the boy sees a cheap old menorah, the boy grabs it and asks his father what it is
Dad angrily grabs it away from him
And they fight over it
And naturally it falls and BREAKS .. revealing some
Hebrew name on a piece of paper
Reading it out loud, the father says "I don't know if any one will survive this place –
but if anyone is still alive and finds this,
My name is Zecharia ben Asher and I hope that some Jewish person will Some Day
Say kaddish for me.
The Dad faints
It is HIS father's name
Of course it made a difference in their lives!
So let me ask...
Ðo Jews still listen to American News reports like that Monday about 1110 pm we all were attacked by another Houtie missile
and
That every day a fèw missiles are still shot out of hiding places in Gaza?
AND
Does anyone really believe the Chanuka story?
See the proof
and
Does anyone believe that Joseph was the viceroy - king's second in command - in Egypt
I have trouble absorbing the miracle of Israel controlling all the former flash points in Syria (some of which I visited in the early 1970's)

We are being reminded of the miracle of being Jewish
But also the price we pay in soldiers lost
And children crying when the sirens go off at night – to protect us from falling debris.
We will need to rebuild what Iran has inspired their followers to destroy.
Together
And the portion begins "And Judah got close to Joseph to speak…"
