The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

You Can't Coat the Holocaust With Gold

Anselm Kiefer's philosophy has its roots in German Romanticism, particularly the belief that the artist can mediate between the creative and the divine, between earth and heaven.

The Portion of Vayigash

The Future is Already Here

After Joseph accuses Benjamin of stealing his goblet, Judah approaches Joseph and, in an emotional and moving narrative, tells the story of Jacob and his sons.

At this point, Joseph can no longer restrain himself and he reveals his identity to his brothers. He sends them back to their father with wagons laden with the best that Egypt has to offer. He asks that the brothers tell their father to leave Canaan and to go down to Egypt.

Upon receiving the news that Joseph is alive he decides to descend to Egypt. G-d appears to him in a dream and says: "I will go down with you to Egypt and I will also bring you up…" (Genesis 46;4). And in the words of the Talmud (Tractate Bechorot 5b), G-d continued and said "And your sons didn't simply leave Egypt. Each one brought with him 90 Libyan donkeys (who are especially strong) carrying silver and gold".

The ninety donkeys are alluded to by the extra crowns atop the letter "tzadi" (whose numerical value is 90) in the word "mitzraima" (to Egypt). (Remazei Yoel)
