Be Objective about your Actions

There is a strong tendency for an evil person to consider himself good, and for a truly good person to consider himself bad. The rationale behind this is simple: Their criteria of good and bad differ greatly.

A good person desires to help others, and when unable to do as much as he idealistically wishes, considers himself "bad."


An evil person considers himself "good" if he refrains from beating someone up after taking their money.

The lesson: Be objective about your actions.

THE ONLY HOPE - THE NATIONAL REFERENDUM (Excerpts)

 

The election of a national emergency government for four full years, consisting of one party (rather than the impossible coalition of today) that will be obliged and have full power to implement the following program:

 

A)   Putting an end to the Arab uprising with all means that the army

deems necessary.  This will include automatic and compulsory expulsions of law-violators and their families, the free use of weapons against stone-throwers and other attackers of Israelis, as well as permission for Jewish civilians traveling in the territories and under attack, to use their weapons freely in the same manner as soldiers.

 

B)    The annexation of the liberated areas (Judea, Samaria, Gaza) by

 incorporating them into the State of Israel.  Full Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel, including the Temple Mount, and free Jewish settlement throughout the land.

 

C)   Offering both the Arabs of the territories and those within the

pre-1967 Israel the choice of: 1) remaining in the land with full individual rights (cultural, social, religious, economic) but no national ones (they will not be citizens, will not vote, nor sit in the Knesset) as they recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people, 2) leaving the country willingly with compensation for property or, 3) refusing both of the above and being removed from the land.

 

D)   Dismantling the country's present bureaucratic, government-

bobbled economy and introducing a free economy with private initiative, incentives to investors, and freedom from obsessive regulation and red tape.  The opportunity to make Israel an economic super-power lies down the road of free enterprise.

 

E)    A total overhaul of the country's educational system to put an end

 to the disastrous ideological bankruptcy of the young Israeli who has little if any knowledge and emotional links with Zionism, Judaism, or Jewishness.  A curriculum that will include large doses of Jewish values and Jewish sources as well as Jewish national pride and Zionism, taught by ideologically competent teachers.

 

F)    The creation of a new state television and radio authority with

 positive values toward Judaism and Jewish nationalism.  An end to the deliberate distortions of the news and the undermining of national morale and values.

 

G)   The compulsory learning by every Jewish youngster of a manual

trade so as to recreate the Jewish worker that was the dream of Zionism and is the basis of any normal national economy and state. 

 At the end of four years, another referendum will be held to see if the people agree that the aims of the national emergency government have been achieved or if another four years will be needed.

 

The referendum will declare and mandate that, if approved the Knesset will be dissolved and a free election held within 30 days to elect one party with full and absolute powers and obligations to implement the program mandated by the referendum.  Any party or list will be eligible to run and be elected on condition that it pledge to full accept and fully implement the above program.

 

This will be the reply to the enemies of Israel who dream of its destruction.  This will be the reply to those within the State whose policies would destroy the Jewish body and eliminate the Jewish soul.

 

As World War II struck Great Britain with all the frightening implications of defeat, British democracy froze the democratic political system, suspended elections and major political rights.  It did so because Great Britain faced a threat to all that was dear to it.  How much more should Israel, faced with a threat to its very existence, not shrink from this.

 

And one can fairly taste the reaction of the demagogues of democracy to the above. On every high hill and under every leafy tree the declaimers of democracy cry out in well-rehearsed fury: This is a threat to democracy!

 

Ah, how shrill the squeal of the stuck, the bowl of the hypocrites of political history. They bemoan the threat to democracy. They warn against the treat to democracy.  The democracy that does not exist and that never really did in the state of heartbreak.  Israel.

 

Biblical Fragrances from the Judean Desert

In ancient times, a wonderful plant was grown on the shores of the Dead Sea - the ancient Balm of Gilead. It was one of the most important medicines and the best perfume in the Roman Empire was produced from the plant. The ancient Balm of Gilead was an ingredient of the incense of the Temple and a component of the Anointing oil during the Second Temple period.

According to ancient sources, the plant reached the Kingdom of Judah as a gift given by Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. Queen Cleopatra was also a fan of the finest perfume. The perfume favored by the kingdom was also used by the daughters of Jerusalem who used the perfume to drive the boys crazy. The ancient Balm of Gilead plant that serves as the heart of the fragrance is considered the finest type of myrrh in the world.

In the Bible, we first read of balm when Joseph's brothers throw him into a pit and a caravan of Ishmaelites passed by with a shipment of fragrant spices. "Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. (Genesis 37:25)

In addition to Balm of Gilead, frankincense - Boswellia Sacra - (Levona in Hebrew) is grown on the farm. It is the main ingredient in the temple incense (ketoret in Hebrew).

On the farm, the holy anointing oil, which was used in biblical times to anoint priests, prophets and kings, has been reproduced and so far is sold in very small quantities. Honey is also produced from the frankincense blossoms is also expensive. To acquire some you need to be placed on a long prepaid waiting list and need to be patient.

BIBLICAL OILS from the Judean Desert

In ancient times, a wonderful plant was grown on the shores of the Dead Sea - the ancient Balm of Gilead. It was one of the most important medicines and the best perfume in the Roman Empire was produced from the plant. The ancient Balm of Gilead was an ingredient of the incense of the Temple and a component of the Anointing oil during the Second Temple period.

According to ancient sources, the plant reached the Kingdom of Judah as a gift given by Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. Queen Cleopatra was also a fan of the finest perfume. The perfume favored by the kingdom was also used by the daughters of Jerusalem who used the perfume to drive the boys crazy. The ancient Balm of Gilead plant that serves as the heart of the fragranceis considered the finest type of myrrh in the world.

The perfume is built around a unique blend of authentic plants from the Bible and from the desert: the incense plants of the Temple, the plants of the Anointing oil and other miraculous plants.

The essential oils in the perfume have significant anti-inflammatory properties.

From the point of view of Jewish law, the perfume can be used for Havdalah on Saturday nights.

P.U.S.H.

  • A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his roomfilled with light and G-d appeared. Hashem told the man He had workfor him to do and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.G-d explained that the man was to push against the rockwith all his might. So, this the man did, day after day. For manyyears he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarelyagainst the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing withall of his might.Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feelingthat his whole day had been spent in vain.Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan),decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind:"You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and ithasn't moved."Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task wasimpossible and that he was a failure. These thoughtsdiscouraged and disheartened the man.Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time,giving just the minimum effort, and that will be good enough. That'swhat the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter ofprayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Hashem."Hashem," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service,putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, afterall this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter.What is wrong?Why am I failing?"Hashem responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you toserve me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to pushagainst the rock with all of your strength, which you have done.Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it.Your task was to push.And now you come to me with your strength spent,thinking that you have failed.
  • Is that really so?Look at yourself.Your arms are strong and muscled,your back sinewy and brown;your hands are callused from constant pressure,your legs have become massive and hard.Through opposition you have grown much,and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have.True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedientand to push and to exercise your faith and trust in my wisdom. Thatyou have done.Now I, my child, will move the rock."At times, when we hear a word from G-d, we tend to use our ownintellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants isjust a simple obedience and faith in Him.By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains,but know that it is still Hashem who moves mountains.When everything seems to go wrong...just P.U.S.H.!When the job gets you down... just P.U.S.H.!When people don't react the way you think they should... justP.U.S.H.When your money is "gone" and the bills are due... just P.U.S.H!When people just don't understand you... just P.U.S.H.
