Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com A shout-out to my Mom in Shamiam on what would have been her 107th birthday. My Mother was born in a little town in Germany where she still experienced horses and buggies as the transportation growing up. She was the only member of the family to escape Germany and her legacy was four children, four grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren Jews were Given the Holy Land 'by Divine Right,' Israeli Envoy Tells 70 UN Ambassadors at Mock Seder By Ben Rappaport, United with Israel Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan, in collaboration with Aish Global, on Tuesday hosted a mock Passover Seder in the United Nations with the participation of 70 Ambassadors from around the world. Traditional holiday foods were served, excerpts from the Haggadah were read, and the Ambassadors learned about the traditions and customs associated with the holiday. The event was initiated by Ambassador Erdan with the aim of strengthening the familiarity of Judaism and Jewish traditions and values among the Ambassadors. The United States Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield and Ukraine's Ambassador to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya were among the participants. In his remarks, Ambassador Erdan said, "At the Seder we are commanded to retell the Exodus as if we ourselves were slaves in Egypt and we ourselves were brought out by the hand of God. This is how the Exodus becomes a collective memory for every Jew around the globe. But even more than that, the Exodus – going from slavery to freedom – has become the universal theme of liberation for all people, Jews and non-Jews alike." "It is not only the story of Jewish emancipation and nationhood; it is also the story of Jewish Statehood – the legitimate right of the Jewish people coming home to the land that God promised us. Today, the Modern State of Israel is the continuation of that very same Exodus. And it is a story of great success. "When every Jewish family retells the story of our journey from being slaves in Egypt, to free people in Zion, we remind the world that Israel has been, is, and always will be the homeland of the Jewish people." The ambassador added, "Many see the UN as the body that 'granted' the Jewish people a state, back in 1947. But my people were not given the deed to the Holy Land by the General Assembly's right – we were given it by divine right. The Jewish people's bond to the land was born with God's promise to Abraham, our forefather, and it was the Exodus that made this promise a reality." "Today we are sharing this ancient Jewish tradition with you, not only to remember where my people came from, but also to recognize where we are going," Erdan concluded. "May this year be a year of freedom for all people around the world: from Ukraine, to the people of Iran, and beyond!" 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.

Jewish Life before World War II | Holocaust Education  Before World War II, everyday life for Jews varied greatly. After Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power, Jewish life in Germany and throughout Europe changed forever. This narrated compilation of home movies provides glimpses into what was lost during the Holocaust through scenes of people walking and socializing in the street, dining in a cafe, celebrating holidays and birthdays, playing in a yard, vacationing, walking into school, exiting their synagogue, and more.
