Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com 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.

Outsiders know better. If a sheep is in control of a country, it will be called A dictatorsheep A German Shepherd and a Sheep are out on a date... German Shepherd: "What do you mean I'm too controlling?!" Sheep: "You herd me." Man does not control his own fate- The women in his life do that for him- Groucho Marx I remember the first time I saw a universal remote control. I thought to myself, "Well, this changes everything" Needed: people with a lot of self control for working at a bubble wrap factory. My wife tells me my conspiracy theory obsession is getting out of control.. I wonder how much the government paid her to say that. My daughter thinks I'm nosy and controlling. At least that's what she wrote in her diary. Putin is going through passport control. He's asked: - "Final destination?" - "Kiev" - "Occupation?" - "yes" The driver of a huge trailer lost control of his rig and ploughed into an empty toll booth, smashing it to pieces. Some time after the driver had reported the damage, he watched as a repair truck pulled up and discharged a crew of workers. They picked up each broken piece of the wreckage and spread a creamy substance on it. Then they began fitting the pieces together. In less than a half hour, they had the entire tollbooth reconstructed and looking good as new. Astonishing! said the truck driver to the crew chief. "What was the white stuff you used to stick all the pieces together?" "Oh, that was tollgate booth paste." I called Animal control Welfare today and said, "I've just found a suitcase in the woods with a fox and four cubs." "That's terrible," the woman on the phone replied. "Are they moving?" "I'm not sure, to be honest," I said, "But that would explain the suitcase." My Grandad asked me how to print. I said "Control P" He said: "I haven't been able to do that for years!" (sorry couldn't resist… too many terrible jokes until now..) The man who invented the remote control has died age 96. He was found down the back of the sofa. The Portion of Balak A War of Words Balak ben Tzipor, the king of Moav, sees the devastating defeat of the Amorites at the hands of the Israelites, and realizes that he is in great danger. In order to fight against the Children of Israel he decides to enlist the assistance of Bilam ben Be'or, an expert on curses. Bilam is convinced to come to Moav and activate his secret weapon. However, as we know, not only did he curse the Children of Israel but he blessed them. "Who counted the dust of Jacob ..." (Numbers 23;10) The upper part of the letter "ayin" in both the word "afar" and "Yaakov" looks like the letter "yud", an allusion to ten commandments which the people of Israel keep even in the dust and therefore it is impossible to curse them. When they go out to plow: "Do not plow with an ox and a donkey together" (Deuteronomy 22:10). When they go out to plant: "Do not sow your field with two kinds of seed" (Leviticus 19:19). When they go to eat, they spread their ten fingers before the Almighty and say: "My Master, these ten fingers do not taste anything until they have fulfilled your ten commandments in the dust". They then spread their two hands and recite the "hamotzi", a blessing which consists of ten words. (Sefer Rokeiach on the Torah, and mentioned by Rashi- with a change- on this verse.) See you Sunday bli neder, Shabbat Shalom We need Mashiach now! What is disliked by you, don't do to others. Be nice and kind and smile!
