| | | | | 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.

For women, the risk may be even higher. "Type 2 diabetes is already known to raise the risks of multiple health conditions, including heart disease and dementia," said lead researcher Prof. Stephen Levine of Haifa's School of Public Health, who recently spoke to The Times of Israel in a teleconference call. "Our findings show it also increases the risk of schizophrenia in middle and old age." | | | | | In this April 18, 2017, file photo, a woman with Type 2 diabetes prepares to inject herself with insulin at her home in Las Vegas.

Pharoh asks Jacob "How many are the years of your life?" And Jacob responds "The years of my life are short and bad". And indeed from the very beginning Jacob had to contend with his surroundings. First with Esau, then with Laban, then with an angel and then again with Esau. In our portion, Vayeishev, it seems at first glance that Jacob has finally found his much deserved rest and contentment. But then, suddenly, his favorite son Joseph disappears and is presumed dead. The brothers show their father Joseph's coat of many colors. "And all his sons and all his daughters came to comfort him- "vayemaein l'henachem"- and he refused to be comforted. The letter "vav" – the first letter in the word "vayemaein" (and he refused)- is written in an unusual manner when followed by the letter "yud" sounding the syllable "vay" which, according to Sefer Rokeiach, emphasizes the pain which Jacob felt at that moment. It appears that this form of the letter "vav" followed by the letter "yud" is found each time where the scribe wants to emphasize the degree of sadness in the episode. For example, when Joseph cries out against the advances of Potifar's wife (the "vav" and "yud" in "vayehee k'shomo") and the letters "vav" and "yud" in the Book of Exodus where the Children of Israel cry out ("vayizaku") to G-d in their pain and anguish. | | |
