Portion Vayay Tzay - What a way to GO
 
 
Okay - not what I was planning to send out this shabbat - but powerful
 
One of my Rabbi Friend-Teacher guys wrote this AM
 
"כִּֽי־אִתְּךָ֥ אֲנִ֛י נְאֻם־ה' לְהֽוֹשִׁיעֶ֑ךָ כִּי֩ אֶעֱשֶׂ֨ה כָלָ֜ה בְּכָֽל־הַגּוֹיִ֣ם ׀ אֲשֶׁ֧ר הֲפִצוֹתִ֣יךָ שָּׁ֗ם אַ֤ךְ אֹֽתְךָ֙ לֹֽא־אֶעֱשֶׂ֣ה כָלָ֔ה".
(ירמיהו פרק ל)
 
from the prophet Jeremiah Chapter 30
 
The Almighty promises to save us from the gentiles - 
 
- maybe not in Pittsburg
 
everyone from france and Israel on the plane yesterday asked me when the Americans will come to Israel because of Pittsburg
 
and I told them G-d wants American Jews to become STRONG Jews in America - because Israel NEEDS STREONG HOLY JEWS IN AMErica
 
to HELP ISRAEL
 
and THEN when it is time they will follow a JEWISH Messiah to our Holy Land -
 
IN THE PORTION JACOB has to leave ISRAEL because ESAU wants him "taken out" but
 
he prays to G-d to take care of him - and the Almighty sends ANGELS down the LADDER - who will protect him
 
 
 
So Rabbi Yaskil writes
:
 
of 60000 residents in Ashkelon
 
getting attacked by rockets and firebombs last week
 
And with Iron Dome protecting the city
 
there was ONE home of an Arab guy married to a Jewish woman
 
and a rocket hit their building
 
hit their apartment
 
and killed the guy - not the woman - in their bedroom
 
HARD TO UNDERSTAND
 
 but we should TRY - 
 
to
 
accept there IS an Almighty whose WAYS we don't understand -
 
 but who REALLY wants us to be HOLY JEWS
 
to TRY to get close to the Almighty
 
to TRY to do what is proper 
 
to make the Jewish People Stronger
 
the world NEEDs holy Jews - and
 
assimilation does NOT make us stronger
 
we MAY pick up some holy souls who will cling to the people of Israel
 
BUT
 
 
Jacob survives his cunning father in law because he KNOWS G-d is watching  and helping him 
 
 raise a JEWISH FAMILY
 
and comes HOME to ISRAEL
 
Shabbat Shalom
