King Solomon's sink - and I'm in Ash-kell-lown - and Obama's not visiting here‏

Also - thank G-d no more rockets today ... 

AND 


NOW FOR SHABBOS- 

This shabbat is called the GREAT Shabbos – a nickname for the Shabbat before Passover - and I'm in a city on the Mediterranean and no one knows whether King David got RID of the Phillistines here or just conquered them after he beat Goliath and later became King. 

How could he have received all the gold that Solomon used later when he built the Temple if he didn't get rid of those sea-marauders the Phillistines - who were living here on the coast where I am for Shabbat on a religious study retreat - or TURN THEM INTO BELIEVERS and LOVERS of ISRAEL! 

When Solomon his son built the Great Temple he also built a GIANT sink for Priest to wash - and the Talmud argues if it was shaped as a globe - or square on the bottom and rounded at the top. 


Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach said that 

ON PASSOVER AT THE SEDER WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE - TO INVITE OTHERS - 

BECAUSE OF WHAT WE RECEIVED FROM G-d BEFORE 


BUT WHEN WE PERFORM THE "SEARCH FOR CHOMETZ" THE NIGHT BEFORE PASSOVER 


WE SHOULD SEARCH FOR WHAT WE ARE MISSING 

SEARCH FOR THE GOOD IN OTHERS 

AND 

THEN ESPECIALLY WHEN EATING THE AFIKOMAN - WE ASK G-D FOR 

ALL THAT WE REALLY NEED 


Rabbi Berel Wien (originally from Chicago now in Jerusalem) wrote that 


the Great Shabbat got it’s name because ALL Shabbat’s are great – only the one before Passover was the FIRST for all the about-to-be-the Jewish Nation. 


AND it is customary to read the Hagada this shabbat in PREPARATION for RECEIVING - and 

for GIVING - just as we receive from G-d and we GIVE BACK to him by 

Living the Jewish life and Values He gave us 


Shabat Shalom from Ashkelon
