In Israel - is it also an end to the Premiership of Benjamin Netanyahu? Looks like it.

But looks are deceiving.

 

Facts cannot be denied. Peoples' souls left the world last week from Meron Mountain.

And hopefully complacency in light of the pain!

 

So sad - last week's tragedy at Merom - and just now families are getting up from Shiva Mourning!

So what did it all do in G-d's scheme for us all?

 

Yes, what is the promise of the last 2 portions in the Book of Vayikra - which we read this Shabbat- to end

 

the third book of the 5 (Pentateuch) Books?

 

We are promised the Land of Israel

 

No one said it would be easy

 

The portion describes it

 

Yet it deals with the Laws of Punishment for Murder

 

So What about politicians - who bicker over -

Just About Eberything?

 

SHOULD they not BE PREACHING 

LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD AS A WAY OUT OF

 THE POLITICAL MESS they have caused?

 

What happened in Meron? 

What is happening in Amrica?

 Who must take care of the recklessness and responsibility of ALL the politicians?

 

What does the lack of government do?

 

Allow personal hatreds caused by NEEDS TO CONTROL A POLITICS FOCUSED ON HATRED AND PERSONAL AGENDAS?

 

WHO HAS THE VISION OF RAV KOOK?

OF RABBI CARLEBACH

OF EVEN HERZL - WHO NOT ALL AGREE ON BASICs?

 

Like THE GERER REBBE WHO CAME TO ISRAEL IN THE 30's to try to bring peace to warring religious factions?

 

The Almighty gave him a

 Place in Jerusalem! to Save his people!

 

May we all be so blessed!

 

Shabbat Shalom
