Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com 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. Wife of fallen soldier: How many more orphans, widows will there be in Israel? "Yehonatan, pray that we succeed," she said during his funeral at Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem. https://www.jpost.com/israel-n... "Tell God, 'Enough already!' How many more orphans and widows are yet to exist here? It's impossible," Aviya Luber said Wednesday in her eulogy for her husband, St.-Sgt. (res.) Elisha Yehonatan Luber, 24, who was killed in battle in southern Gaza on Monday. "Yehonatan, pray that we succeed," she said during his funeral at Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem. "Your connection to God was so important; now you're close to Him. See what is happening here... "My Yehonatan, my life, my beloved. How much you loved this land; how often you spoke about it. You never saw anything outside of Israel with your own eyes. You weren't willing to return home until you had done everything, even arguing with your commander to be the first to volunteer for duty in Gaza. "When we got engaged, I begged you not to die before me, but you didn't even agree when I lost my temper with you. You told me, 'You're my heroine,' and I replied that I'm not. You called me last Saturday night and said nothing was hard for you there, but you missed home and [our son] Nachman. When you came back home, he wouldn't leave you. What a father you were; how proud and in love with him." Hagai Luber, Yehonatan's father, shared his son's final words to him: "Before Yehonatan left for Gaza, he called me. He told me, 'Dad, I'm ready to go, but please promise me you'll take care of my wife and son. They are my world. Four big lies driving the alarming surge in antisemitism by Ted Deutch These four lies have spread like wildfire. The horrific results for Jewish communities around the world are there for all to see. By TED DEUTCH https://www.jpost.com/opinion/... This collage shows several Israeli soldiers and officers who were killed in action on the Gaza border, October 7, 2023. (Israel Defense Forces) 501 Israeli soldiers have been killed in war against Hamas starting Oct. 7 — IDF by EMANUEL FABIAN https://www.timesofisrael.com/.... The Portion of Vayechei A Clue to the End of Days Jacob is on his deathbed. He asks that Joseph bring his two sons so that he may bless them. Later in the portion, Jacob calls all his sons and by means of the blessings that he bestows on them he wishes to reveal what awaits them at the end of days. Already in his words to Joseph, Jacob alludes to the exile of his descendants. "Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard on high…Rachel weeps for her children" (Jeremiah 31;14). "And as for me, when I returned from Padan, Rachel died to me." (Genesis 48;7). The prophet refers to the Jewish people as the children of Rachel. This is alluded to in the left head of the letter "ayin" in the word "alai" (to me) which is both emphasized and raised.
