 Portion VaYayRah: the Hassidim of Old? - or Old Hassidim?

 

What a fake world Abraham/Avraham has to deal with in this week's Portion

And What a fake world we all live in today! Look at the World Court condemning Israel with lies – and not a word about Russia or Iran or murders of civilians all over the world - in the "name of Palestinians" – really a code word for 30 or so terrorist gangs who are also terrorizing Syria Iraq and certainly Lebanon (and Egypt in the Sinai).

Look at the picture below who came in 2nd for women in the NYC Marathon.

Apartheid?

And why do they still sell "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" on the internet – and sell Nazi uniforms to kids in the US and England?

Look at the picture below to see who THIS elder – facing Mount Zion last night - was hanging out with –

Guy in a wheelchair, and some families who were students of the hippie-Rabbi-Folksinger-Peacenik Rabbi Shlomo Carelbach (Yahrzeit today) – playing guitar with some college students in Jerusalem.

Planning World Domination?

So this week I walked past the study hall of the Kuzimir Hassidim and went in for a bit.

Hezkel Kuzimir discussed – from this Portion – why it said "and Abraham stood over them (3 visitors) as they ate".

Question 1: stood over?

Question 2 : while they ate?

And he reminds us (from the Kabala)  that "people move" – but angels are single-task-messengers of the Almighty.

Abraham's "guests" were the 3 angels – one to foretell Sara giving birth, one to safe Abraham's nephew – and the third to overturn the wicked city of SODOM.

Angels don't eat – but Abraham didn't know yet they were angels – so he KEPT NUDGING his guests  to eat – as a good host.

So (in SHORT) the Kuzimir Rebbe said "by doing even a simple mitzvah like feeding guests we humans are able to stand head and shoulders above the Angels".

Maybe that's really how to take over the world? Kindness and supporting the hungry? Or do we also have to know who is an angel and who a terrorist? (see later on in the Portion about King Avimelech)

 

Shabbat Shalom
