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!!

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

Galilee With: Ami Braun

Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi, spiritual leader of the Jewish people and editor of the Mishnah, spent his life in the Galilee. In Tzipori we will see the beautiful mosaics in what may have been the home of the Rabbi and will visit an ancient synagogue. After enjoying the view, we will end our tour at the ancient burial site in Bet She'arim, with its burial caves and sarcophagi.

Ending 'Treason Citizenship'

By Daniel Greenfield

Ending 'Treason Citizenship' | The Jewish Press - JewishPress.com | Daniel Greenfield | 24 Tammuz 5784 – Tuesday, July 30, 2024 | JewishPress.com

At 'Zero Tolerance 4 Terror' rally in Times Square, counter demonstrators carry Pro-Palestinian Authority Arab signs reading, "No Justice, No Peace" -- a slogan stolen from recent Black rioters across the United States, taken originally from the mantra chanted by Black rioters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in Aug. 1991.

The Portion of Re'eh

As the Children of Israel prepare to enter the Land of Israel, Moses speaks about the unique ceremony of blessings and curses which will take place on Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ayval. There is a long list of tasks which await the Children of Israel once they enter the Promised Land. One of those tasks, a very fundamental one at that, is the commandment to open one's pocket and one's heart and to give tzedakah.

Giving to the needy is not only a physical act. It must be accompanied by encouragement and emotional support, for without this support the the act of giving is only partially fulfilled. And as Rabbi Yochanan said: "Greater is the one who whitens his friend's teeth than the one who gives him milk to drink" (Tractate Ketubot 111).

An allusion to this may be found in the verse "but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him" (Deuteronomy 15;8).

The uniquely curved letters "pay" in the words "patoach tiftach" (you shall surely open) indicate that the Torah is referring to two openings: that of the hand and that of the heart.
