This is today's article, that I sent out by mistake yesterday morning. I am repeating it rather than sending a new article, because it deals with today's election, so I think it is worthwhile for you to read again today. Please forgive my mistake as I keep a policy of sending only one article a day unless there is some kind of special emergency. Sending two yesterday was just a mistake as I had to redo this article with the election instructions, that for some reason, were no place on the internet for you to figure out for  yoruselves.

 

When the election results became known, the Jerusalem Municipality's Education Administration began preparing for the deployment of the polling stations in the schools in the second round. After a number of meetings held recently between the Education Administration and the municipal headquarters for election administration, the head of the Education Administration, with the support of the Municipal Elections Committee, instructed that the municipality's goal on the day of the elections is to allow the school to take place in its entirety in all frameworks, In the coming days, the staff of the municipal headquarters for the conduct of the elections will be working with the education administration staff and the school principals to find appropriate solutions in every framework and framework. The head of the Education Administration, Aviv Keinan, said, "We will continue to work to provide the best possible service for Jerusalem students and their parents."

And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your home and gates (Deuteronomy 6:9).

Some people seem to have two personalities. Some are very gentle, polite, and accommodating during the workday to clients and customers, but when they come home they become demanding and unyielding tyrants. On the other hand, others are loving, considerate, and patient at home, but in business affairs are ruthless, letting nothing stand in the way of gaining profit.

Neither behavior pattern is acceptable. Our lives must be governed by principles that apply everywhere, and we must practice them in all our affairs. For the Jew, these principles are found in the Torah, which includes not only the Scriptures, but also the Talmud and the various works compiled by Torah scholars throughout the ages.

In the portion of the Torah inscribed on the mezuzah, we read that one should converse in Torah while in the home, on the road, when one arises, and when one retires. This message is to be inscribed on the doorposts of our homes. In other words, from awakening until bedtime, both within the home and outside the home, the words of the Torah are to direct us in our actions. There can be no dichotomy.

The mezuzah is affixed to the doorpost so that it should be noticed both when we leave the house to enter the world of commerce and when we return home after the workday. While it is a beautiful custom to kiss the mezuzah as a sign of endearment, this gesture should not be perfunctory. The words of the mezuzah should influence our behavior everywhere.



Today I shall ...
... observe the mezuzah as I enter and leave my house, and remember what it is meant to teach me.

In 1996, Lion was appointed managing director of the Prime Minister's Office of Benjamin Netanyahu, also becoming his economic adviser, serving in those roles till 1999.[6]

From 2003-2006 he was appointed chairman of the Israel Railways after having previously worked with the Ports and Railways Authority. Lion finished his term in 2006 after his term was not extended.

In 2008, he was appointed chairman of the Jerusalem Development Authority. Under his tenure, the First Station train complex in Jerusalem was completed.

Lion was chosen to help negotiate the forming of a government coalition following the Israeli elections of 2013, in the aftermath of which the Likud and Yisrael Beitenu parties joined together.

In 2013, Lion ran for Mayor of Jerusalem but lost to incumbent mayor Nir Barkat. The Likud party under his leadership received one mandate, and he became a member of the city council on its behalf.[7]

In Jerusalem's 2018 mayoral elections Lion garnered 33% of the vote earning him a spot in a runoff election scheduled two weeks later against fellow Jerusalem city councilman Ofer Berkovitch who gained 29% of the electorate.[10] According to election laws, candidates in municipal races must gain at least 40% of the vote to win an election.[11]

YOSEF SYMONDS POSTING #75

Dear Friends,
There is a saying among photographers that the best shots are the ones where we have our camera with us. This is said in all seriousness because some of the choicest opportunities come to us when least expected. So I was a passenger in a car driving down the narrow street leading from the Armenian to Jewish quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem when I noticed an elderly religious Jew waiting on the pavement/sidewalk. What struck me was that he was so engrossed in his sefer, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. This scene triggered the recollection of stories I had heard of one of our great "gedolei hador". And I suddenly felt that was him!
I will leave you to view the few shots I was able to capture, find out who I believe is the subject (with a short biography of this great person), and decide for yourself if I am correct.

NEW CROP OF IDIOTS

Number One Idiot
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. 
Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants.
 I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital.
She calmed down, but at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughtersome ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.   I told her to bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Number Two Idiot
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s.  They were successful in getting it out of the plane and a few days later they took it for a float on the river. They soon noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on theemergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.
They are no longer employed at Boeing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Number Three Idiot

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch. took a deposit slip and wrote this,"Put all your muny in this bag.";
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone may have seen him write the note and might call the police. So he left theBank of Americaand crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank.    After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargoteller.  She read it and, surmising from his spelling errorsthat he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on aBank of Americadeposit slip and he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargodeposit slip or go back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Number Four Idiot
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He received a ticket for $140.00 in the mail and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $140.00.  The police replied with another
letter that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.
He immediately mailed in his $140.00.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Number Five Idiot
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer.  After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "BecauseI don't believe you are over 21.";
The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him.  At this point, the robber took hisdriver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.
The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag.  The robber then ran from the store with his loot.
The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that she got off the license.
They arrested the robber two hours later.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Idiot Number Six
A pair of  Michigan robbersentered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.
The first one shouted, " Nobody move!"
When his hold-up partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Idiot Number Seven
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly.
He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run.  So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious.
It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.
The whole event was caught on videotape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Idiot Number Eight
I live in a semi-rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative  office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road.
 The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Stay Alert Out There! They walk among us...they Reproduce... they vote ...  and some of them currently hold public office!

Kahane on the Parsha

 

Rabbi Binyamin Kahane- Parshat Chayeh Sarah

LOGIC MAKE NO IMPRESSION ON THEM

"Rabbi Yudan bar Simon said, '[Concerning] three places the nations of the world will not be able to castigate Israel by claiming, 'You are thieves': Me'arat HaMachpela, Har HaBayit, and Kever Yosef.

"Me'arat HaMachpela, as it is written: 'And Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver...'; Har HaBayit, as it is written, 'So David gave Arnan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site'; and Kever Yosef, as it is written, 'And [Jacob] bought the parcel of ground...at the hand of the children of Chamor, the father of Shechem'" (Bereishit Rabba 79:7)

Two questions arise from this Midrash:

1) Is it only about these three places that the nations can't say we are thieves? Isn't this claim baseless regarding the ENTIRE land (as Rashi states in his commentary to the very first verse of the Torah)?

2) What does the Midrash mean by "the nations of the world will not be able"? We see that they are quite able to challenge our claim to these three places! Indeed, it is precisely these three places on which they concentrate their struggle!

The key to answering these questions is a rule that we should etch in our souls: It is not important what GENTILES SAY; what's important is what JEWS THINK. The Torah knew that when the gentiles would eventually accuse the Jews of being "thieves" and "occupiers" and "conquerors," the Jews would feel uncomfortable, even a little guilty. Perhaps the gentiles are right that we stole their land. perhaps they have an ethical argument.

And so the Rabbis tell us: There are three places about which the gentiles cannot open their mouths even according to simple logic since these places were legally purchased with money. And yet, logic makes no impression on them. On the contrary, it is precisely these three places that they place at the heart of their fight against us! What does this teach us? That it isn't justice or ethics which motivates them, nor is our struggle a dispute over property that can be resolves. Rather, it is a national-religious fight.

Therefore, the Rabbis teach us: Just like you know that their claim to these three places is not justified, by the same token don't get excited about their claims to other parts of the land since "the entire world belongs to Hashem; He created it and gave it to whomever He saw fit" (Rashi to Genesis 1:1).
