Get to Heaven Keep the Seven

Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).

This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

Wish for the Good of Others

When you envy the good fortune of others, you destroy your own happiness and well being.

On the other hand, when you sincerely wish for the welfare of others, you make others feel good, and you yourself live a good life.

Today, undertake to give a blessing of good wishes to five people.

Temple Mount Group Calls on Visitors to File Police Complaints Against Waqf

By Jewish Press News Briefs 

The "Returning to the Mountain" organization, which seeks to restore Jewish sovereignty on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, has launched a new project, according to a report in HaKol HaYehudi.

The organizers are calling on visitors to the Temple Mount to file complaints with the police against Waqf officials that follow and harass Jewish visitors on the Jewish people's holiest site.

The organizers says that the Waqf officials are specifically breaking the Protection of Privacy law which prohibits tracking people's movements. They hope that by filing enough complaints it will both deter the Waqf and cause the police to act more aggressively against the harassment by Waqf officials

Riddles of Israel vs. America

Riddle time! Here are two perplexing riddles about the difference between Israel and the US:
Rationalist Judaism: The Differences between Shuls in Israel and America

The Differences between Shuls in Israel and America

Posted: 06 Feb 2018 02:42 PM PST

The riddles that I posted in the last post generated some interesting answers that hadn't occurred to me!


1) Which of the Sages is quoted by name very frequently in the US - hundreds if not thousands of times daily - but never in Israel?

Many people said Rabbi Yishmael, from the end of korbanos. But that's not really accurate, you can hear that said aloud in Israel too. The answer is R. Chanania ben Akashya, quoted in countless shuls in the US in order to justify saying kaddish:
רַבִּי חֲנַנְיָה בֶּן עֲקַשְׁיָא אוֹמֵר, רָצָה הַקָּדוֹש בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְזַכּוֹת אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְפִיכָךְ הִרְבָּה לָהֶם תּוֹרָה וּמִצְוֹת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: י-י חָפֵץ לְמַעַן צִדְקוֹ יַגְדִּיל תּוֹרָה וְיַאְדִּיר
But I've never heard this done in Israel. It seems that in America, people are more keen to have opportunities to say kaddish. I'm not sure why that is.

2) What is the significant design difference between shuls (synagogues) in Israel and shuls in the US - that is to say, there is a very prominent feature that is found in every shul in Israel that I have seen, but which is missing from many and perhaps most shuls in the US?


Many people suggested dedicated washing basins for kohanim. I guess that's a fair answer, but it's not what I was thinking of. I was thinking of something to hold your siddur. Every shul in Israel has either tables or shtenders or "lips" on the benches to hold them. But plenty of shuls in America have nothing at all - even shuls which certainly have the budget for such furniture. Why is that? It's very strange, as well as encouraging poor posture while davenning. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

BEING A MOTHER 

 

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me 

to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. 

She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman 

loves you and would Love to spend 

some time with you.' 

 

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has 

been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three 

children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. 

 

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner 

and a movie.  'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is 

the type of woman who suspects 

that a late night call or a surprise invitation 

is a sign of bad news. 

 

'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend 

some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought 

about it for a moment, and then said, 

'I would like that very much.' 

 

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit 

nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed 

to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. 

She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to 

celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that 

was as radiant as an angel's. 

'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they 

were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait 

to hear 

about our meeting.' 

 

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, 

was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm 

as if she were the First Lady. 

 

After we sat down, I had to read the menu. 

Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I 

lifted my eyes and saw Mother 

sitting there staring at me. 

A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 

 

'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she 

said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I 

responded. During the dinner , we had an agreeable conversation 

nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's 

life. We talked so much that we 

missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go 

out with you again, but only if 

you let me invite you.'  I agreed. 

 

'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, 

much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered. 

 

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It 

happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for 

her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a 

restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An 

attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I 

could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you 

and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant 

for me. 

 

'I love you, son' 

 

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love 

YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in 

life is more important than your family. Give them the time they 

deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' 

See you Sunday--Shabbat Shalom
