Portion Toledot - Overcoming ALL AntiSemitism and Hatred
What must we learn from those freed hostages?
Is Anti Semitism just hatred ? Or are the two things Basic Human Flaws?
In our portion Esau- Esav - wants to kill Jacob
(and for the next couple of Portions).
Did Jacob really "steal" the birthright –firstborn rights or privilege - from Esav? And
Can you steal a BLESSING? And
Why couldn’t Rebecca and Isaac spend more time talking about training their twin boys to cooperate better?
So
Did G-d create Anti-Semitism from the time of Abraham?
Didn't the Dialogue later in the Torah between Moses and G-d create the healing process of
Mercy "RachumVchaNun" …
in this Portion we can learn
That Abraham has passed on
Isaac's Twins are growing up - and apart
And they are marrying or setting off to find a worthy or proper spouse for the next generation
So-
Is there a G-dly Gift called Parenting versus Grand-Parenting?
See today
So who is bankrolling anti-Jewish campus unrest and threatening demonstrations outside Synagogues? Is it Qatar? Bernie Sanders? Soros? Crypto accounts of Iran??
Latest Statistics show that in Israel a third of the population is youngsters. Do they relate to their grandparents?
Most of the last surviving hostages were young too.
One recent video shows a released hostage saying:
"I started to pray in my captivity. And I nudged my captors to get me a prayerbook.
Eventually they gave me one.
And I prayed. And after some time I said to myself
It seems odd to say Shabbat Prayers and not keep Shabbat. So
I started to keep Shabbat – there in the tunnel?"Yes!
Our portions teach us that
To End the Jewish holocaust- it will require multiple generations
MAYBE BRINGING GRANDCHILDREN TO ISRAELhelps!
MAYBE even sometimes stopping shopping SOME Saturdays
Why should so many people say they are concerned with anti-semitism.
And do nothing but contribute to museums - mausoleums of the once VIBRANT Jewish Spirit?
Last week's portion ends with Rebecca falling off her camel while her
Future husband Isaac was praying "in the field"
(a metaphor maybe for the whole of history?)"
In Hebrew the sages taught
Ma a saysay Avot Siman l Banim –and OUR PORTIONS PROVE THE
GENERATIONAL MODEL OF SAVING OUR GRANDCHILDREN FOR G-D'S TRUTH
As for evil and hatred
While German auctioneers tried to sell
Letters and. Index cards from Concentration Camp Inmates but
Were stopped
BUT
Who are the
Collectors they sell to?
And who will stop them the next time if we don't teach our grandchildren
AND ALL THOSE GREEDY FOOLISH PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING AGAINST ISREAL
About the gifts of
Shabbat and Israel and October 7th and the holocaust
?
Russia and Ukraine and Iran and Iraq will murder millions until their peoples wake up to the
Positive Contributions of the people of Israel
Not just in medicine and high-tech but in
SPIRIT AND HOLINESS
and we need to be present there with our next generations
Shabbat Shalom
