Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com I am home from the hospital, entering my first shabbat after the operation. I thank everyone for all their prayers 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.

A letter in the story The Ba Affair Matzah and maror in the Exodus from Egypt The plagues fall on the land of Egypt one after another, each time from a different direction and a more severe plague. But Pharaoh did not give in. He continued to stand his ground even though his people were suffering enormously. In a stroke of darkness, Pharaoh seemed to relent: "And Pharaoh called to Moses and said, Go, serve the Lord..." Moses' response: "Even our nest will go with us; not a hoof will be left behind..." Pharaoh gets angry and tells Moses, "Don't let me see you..." In such a difficult situation, God's command came to hold the first Passover sacrifice on the land of Egypt, even before the people of Israel left Egypt. And on the same night that the Israelites celebrate the Passover sacrifice, a plague of firstborns comes upon Egypt. Pharaoh urges the people to leave Egypt. The people are not able to bake the remaining dough and also pack the leftovers of the Passover sacrifice, the matzah and the bittern, on their shoulders. (Rashi on the verse) The letter R in the word "mash-er-vetam " is written with two horns, a reference to the remnants of matzah and maror from the first Passover sacrifice that was celebrated in the land of Egypt even before the plague of the firstborn.
