The Freedom of Passover and Man's best friend

Focus on the Almighty's Gifts



Whenever your mind is free, make a conscious effort to focus on the good that the Almighty has bestowed upon you.

Love Yehuda Lave

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The  man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to  him that he was dead.            He remembered dying, and that the dog walking  beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the  road was leading them.          After a while, they came to a high, white stone  wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.  At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that  glowed in the sunlight.             When he was close enough, he called out,  "Excuse me, where are we?"         "This is Heaven, sir," the man  answered.          "Wow! Would you happen to have some  water?" the man asked.         "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll  have some ice water brought right up."            The man gestured, and the gate began  to open.       "Can my friend," gesturing toward his  dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.         "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept  pets."         The man thought a moment and then turned back  toward the road and continued the way he had been going with  his dog.         After another long walk, and at the top of  another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a  farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There  was no fence.            As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside,  leaning against a tree and reading a book.         "Excuse me!" he called to the man.  "Do you have any water?"         "Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there,  come on in."           "How about my friend here?" the  traveler gestured to the dog.         "There should be a bowl by the  pump."         They went through the gate, and sure enough,  there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.         The traveler filled the water bowl and took a  long drink himself, then he gave some to the  dog.            When they were full, he and the dog  Walked back toward the man who was standing by  the tree.      "What do you call this place?" the  traveler asked.         "This is Heaven," he  answered.         "Well, that's confusing," the  traveler said. "The man down the road said that was  Heaven, too."         "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street  and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell"         "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use  your name like that?"         "No, we're just happy that they screen  out the folks who would leave their best friends  behind."         Soooo ...      Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding  jokes to us without writing a word.         Maybe this will  explain.              When you are very busy, but still  want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes.           When you have nothing to say, but still want to  keep contact, you forward jokes.           When you have something to say, but don't  know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes.           Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important,  you are still  loved, you are  still cared for, guess what you get?           A forwarded joke.           So, next time if you get a joke, don't think  that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but  that you've been  thought of today and your friend on the other end of your  computer wanted to send you a smile.          You are all welcome @ my water bowl  anytime.

Q & A: WHAT IS PESACH (PASSOVER) AND
HOW IS IT CELEBRATED?

There are five mitzvot (commandments) for the Passover Seder, two from the Torah and three from our Sages. The two mitzvot from the Torah are to eat matza ("In the evening you shall eat unleavened bread" -- Exodus 12:18) and to tell the story of our exodus from Egypt ("And you shall relate to your son [the story of the Exodus] on this day" -- Exodus 13:9). The rabbis added the mitzvot of drinking the four cups of wine, eating marror (bitter herbs) and reciting Hallel (Psalms of praise for the Almighty). During the times of the Temple in Jerusalem, there were 16 additional mitzvot associated with the Pesach offering.

All of these commandments are to help us re-experience the Exodus and to feel and strengthen our sense of freedom. The mitzvot are to experience either the affliction or the redemption.

The matza is called "lechem ani" -- the bread of the poor man and "lechem oni" -- the bread of affliction. It has the dual symbolism of representing our affliction (we ate it while slaves) and our redemption (we hastily made matza to eat when we left Egypt).

The four cups of wine represent the four different terms for our redemption in the Torah (Exodus 6:6-7). Wine is the drink of free men! Bitter herbs is affliction (just look at the faces of those eating horseradish!) And Hallel is our thanks to the Almighty for our redemption and freedom.

Passover is the "Holiday of Freedom" -- spiritual freedom. The Almighty brought us out of Egypt to serve Him and to be free. Isn't this a contradiction? What is the essence of freedom?

Is freedom the ability to do what one desires unhampered and without consequence? That is license, not freedom. James Bond had a "license to kill," not the freedom to kill. Freedom means having the ability to use your free will to grow and to develop.

Our leaving Egypt led us to Mt. Sinai and the acceptance upon ourselves the yoke of Torah. This is the centerpiece of our freedom. It sets the boundaries of right and wrong, it sets forth the means to perfect ourselves and the world we live in, it defines ultimate meaning and satisfaction in life. Only with boundaries does one have the ability to grow and develop. Otherwise, with unlimited license, life is out of control.

People think they are free when they throw off the yoke of the Torah. However, unless one has the revealed wisdom of the Torah, he is at risk at becoming a "slave" to the fads and fashion of his society. Slavery is non-thinking action, rote behavior, following the impulse desires of the body. Our job on Pesach is to come out of slavery into true freedom and to develop a closer relationship with the Almighty!

During all eight days of Pesach we are forbidden to own or eat chametz (leavened bread -- i.e., virtually any flour product not especially produced for Pesach) or have it in our possession (Exodus 13:7). Why the emphasis on being chametz-free? Chametz represents arrogance ("puffing up"). The only thing that stands between you and God ... is you. To come close to the Almighty, which is the ultimate pleasure in life and the opportunity of every mitzvah and holiday, one must remove his own personal barriers. The external act brings the internal appreciation -- we remove chametz from our homes and likewise work on the character trait of humility.

China Beach and a message from the president about freedom

Problems Bring Us Closer Many people express gratitude to the Almighty for being saved from desperate and problematic situations. But surely they'd have preferred that the problem would have never have arisen in the first place! This, however, is not the highest  attitude. The purpose of all problems is that they should serve as a means for a person to become closer to the Almighty. Both the problems - and the solutions - are part of the Divine plan to help elevate you. Obviously G-d has the power not to give you the problem in the first place, but then you would not have faced the challenge. We are here on this earth to grow and without problems we don't grow. The next time you are faced with a problem, think for a moment: "This problem enables me to become closer to my Creator. Love Yehuda Lave

A Passover message for the president.

The 8-day Passover holiday begins with the Seder on Monday, March 25th, through Tuesday night April 2nd, 2013.

As Jews round the world busy themselves with final preparations for Passover, President Barack Obama gets ready for his exodus to Israel.
Surely no one can fail to notice the remarkable symbolic significance of the President of the United States making his very first presidential visit to the holy land on the eve of the Festival of Freedom commemorating the birth of the Jewish people.
On Passover we began our unique relationship with God. On Passover God redeemed our ancestors from the slavery of Egypt. And on Passover He made a commitment to stand by us forever, as we seek to fulfill our mission to be "a light unto the nations."
Obama will be on the ground for all of 48 hours. Every moment of his trip is minutely scheduled to follow a carefully prepared order – and the Hebrew word for order is of course nothing other than "seder."
Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael B. Oren, couldn't resist making the Passover connection. "Everything on the Seder table," he said, "from the lamb shank to the parsley to the egg is rife with symbolism. So too, with every item on the president's itinerary." Simply put, Obama will be observing a hastily arranged political Seder.
Unfortunately, Obama won't have time to actually sit down at a real Passover Seder nor to be inspired by a reading of the Haggadah. But I couldn't help thinking of the message from this text that we would most want him to glean from his visit in order to guide him in his policies towards the state of Israel.

The Burning Bush Was Not Consumed

The Haggadah is a long book with many different ideas. Jews spend hours discussing its profound teachings. Yet there is one theme that stands out as cardinal concept. And if I could only have a brief moment with the leader of the free world, I would ask him to listen to these powerful words we read aloud close to the beginning of the Seder:

For not only one has risen up against us, but in every generation they rise up against us to annihilate us, but the Most Holy One, blessed be he, always delivers us out of their hands.

Jewish history is one long story of miracles, of survival in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds because of divine love and protection.
In the very first meeting between God and Moses, God weighed in on the future of the Jewish people by way of a striking and unforgettable visual image. We all know the story. Moses was tending his sheep in the desert of Sinai when he suddenly saw a bush that was engulfed in flames. Yet strangely enough, although the bush was burning, it was not consumed. That defied the laws of nature. Fire always destroys. At that very moment, as Moses stood transfixed by the miracle before his eyes, God revealed himself and proclaimed, "I am the God of your fathers."
Couldn't God have performed another miracle even more striking, more convincing, more indicative of his control over the entire world rather than just a single bush in the desert that was burning and yet was not consumed?
God wasn't simply performing a miracle. He was sending a message. God knew what was uppermost in the mind of Moses. From the time he fled from Egypt and watched his brothers suffering under Pharaoh's brutal oppression, Moses worried and wondered: Are my people still alive? So the very first thing God did was to reassure Moses – not only for his time but for all of the future as well. The bush was a symbol of the Jewish people. The bush was burning but, against all laws of nature, it was not consumed. So, too, the Jewish people, against all laws of history, will never perish.
When Arnold Toynbee completed his classic 10-volume analysis of the rise and fall of human civilizations, The Study of History, he was troubled by one seeming refutation of his universal rules governing the inexorable decline of every people on earth. Only the Jews survived in defiance of Toynbee's carefully reasoned analysis. So Toynbee proclaimed the Jews nothing more than "a vestigial remnant," a people destined to shortly expire.
But somehow, in spite of all those brutal attempts to destroy the children of Israel, Jews have demonstrated the ongoing miracle of the burning bush.
Jewish history defies explanation. Jewish survival is nothing short of a miracle. But it is a miracle long ago predicted by God. And it is a miracle which God assured Moses will never cease to repeat itself until the end of time.
Louis XIV, it is related, once asked his brilliant philosopher, Blaise Pascal, "Do you believe in miracles?" Pascal answered that he did. "If so," the king asked him, "tell me one miracle." "The Jews," Pascal responded, "the survival of the Jews. That is an inexplicable miracle."
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, although an Orthodox Christian best known for penning War and Peace, understood this when he wrote:

A Jew is the emblem of eternity. He who neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of years could destroy, he who neither fire, nor sword, nor Inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth, he who was the first to produce the oracles of God, he who has been for so long the Guardian of prophecy and has transmitted it to the rest of the world, he and such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as eternity itself.

To understand history and to learn from it is to acknowledge the powerful bond between God and the children of Israel. It is to recognize that in spite of all those who "in every generation rose up against us to annihilate us," the Almighty always has and always will fulfill the promise of Passover implicit in the first of the Ten Commandments: "I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage" – and I will continue to redeem you and to protect you until the end of days.
And one more thing that the President of the United States needs to know. It is a verse from the Bible, found in the book of Genesis. It is part of a larger promise that God made to Abraham, the first of our fathers:

And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse. And there shall be blessed through you all the families of the earth" (Genesis 12:3).

There has been no greater truth than this in the story of mankind. The nations that treated the Jews well were in turn greatly blessed. Those who abused the Jews found themselves falling from history's grace. And wherever the Jews lived they made important contributions to every area of life. Anyone who studies the story of their wanderings throughout the centuries knows that through them all the families of the earth were indeed greatly blessed.
The United States of America has treated the Jews more benevolently than any other country in history. Not coincidentally, the United States has also been more blessed by the Almighty than any other country in history.
I pray that President Obama will be wise enough to understand this great message from the Seder of history and be guided by it in his efforts to bring peace to an ever threatened people.

PARIS FROM THE EIFFEL Tower and Faith through challenges

All Experiences can be Elevating

The biblical  attitude toward life is that we should utilize every experience as a tool for elevation. Even when someone acts toward us in a condescending manner, we can view the situation in a positive manner and grow from the experience.
Accepting that you create your emotional pain gives you the motivation to overcome it by changing your attitude toward your situation.
Now I didn't say that this is easy or that you should relish difficult situations.
All that we are to learn is that when faced with lemons, make lemonade. Even as a child we learned of the challenge faced by one of the most famous rabbis of period of 2000 years ago, when Rome had an earlier holocaust in Israel, Rabbi Akiva. When faced with being burned at the stake for the crime of teaching the bible, he faced the challenge with faith.

As he was dying he thanked G-d for the opportunity to test him. The most well known martyr, Rabbi Akiva, who was raked over his skin with iron combs. Despite the pain consuming him, he was still able to proclaim God's providence in the world by reciting the Shema, drawing out the final Echad - "One". as he died.
These are the true stories taught to children of our faith, to give the faith to face life challenges. As I face today's challenges, I draw upon the faith of my forefathers to give me strength and love.

Love Yehuda Lave

>> This  is 'Faith' >> This dog was born  in the year 2002.  He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg, which needed to be amputated.  He, of course, could not walk when he was born.  Even his mother did not want him. His first owner also did not think that he could   survive and was thinking of "putting him to sleep".  By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She was determined to teach and train this dog, to walk by himself. Therefore ... she named him 'Faith'. In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board, to let him feel the movements.  Later, she used peanut butter on a spoon, as a lure and reward, for him to stand up and jump around.  Even the other dog at home, also helped to encourage Faith to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped, to move forward.  After further training, in the snow, he now can walk upright, like a human being. Faith loves to walk around now.  No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him and brings out the 'best'  in them.   He is currently becoming famous on the International Scene, appearing in various newspapers and on TV shows. There's a book entitled, "With A Little Faith",  being published about him and he was even considered to appear in one of the "Harry Potter" movies. Presently, her owner and trainer, Jude Stringfellow, has given up her teaching post and plans to take 'Faith' around the world, in an inspiring effort, to spread the message that:  'Even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'. " SRC="aoladp://MA21636203-0005/file002.jpg"> In life, there are always undesirable things.  Perhaps, we will feel better about those things, if we change our point of view to another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh, new ways of thinking, to everyone; and that everyone can appreciate, and be thankful for, each beautiful day that follows.  .

Israel has no Jewish law constitution and is opposed by Politician Livini and late St Patrick day joke

Grow Ever Higher


A person constantly goes from one level to the next. If you're not going up, you're going down. It is impossible to remain on one level.

In what ways can you go up today?

Love Yehuda Lave


An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.

He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"

"Just water," says the priest.

The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"

The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

Believe it or not, but, after 65 years, Israel still does not have a constitution fully realizing its being a Jewish state.

New Justice Minister Tzipi Livn.
Photo Credit: Yonatan Sindel/Flash90

MK Tzipi Livni, Israel's newest Justice Minister, stressed on Saturday that she would not support the basic law bill "Israel is the national state of the Jewish people," whose promotion is part of the new coalition agreements with the Jewish Home party.
In the absence of a constitution, The Basic Laws of Israel (Chukei Hayesod) deal with the formation and role of the principal state's institutions, and the relations between the state's authorities.
Some of the basic laws also protect civil rights.
These laws were originally intended as draft chapters of a future Israeli constitution, but since over the past 65 years the Knesset has yet to come up with a final, all-encompassing constitution, these laws are being used by the courts as a de facto constitution.
As of today, the Basic Laws do not cover all constitutional issues, and there is no deadline set to the completion of the process of merging them into one comprehensive constitution. There is no clear rule determining the precedence of Basic Rules over regular legislation, and in many cases this issue is left to the interpretation of the judicial system.
The new bill, endorsed so far by at least 40 MKs, many of them Likud members, opens with a paraphrasing of the original Israeli Declaration of Independence:
The State of Israel is the national home of the Jewish nation, where it fulfills its desire for self-determination according to its cultural and historical heritage.
The right for the realization of national self-determination in the State of Israel belongs exclusively to the Jewish nation.
The provisions of this Basic Law or any other legislation will hence be interpreted in light of what is prescribed in this section.
The rest of the proposal includes references to Israel's democratic system of government, its official language (only one – Hebrew), the law of return, the national calendar, Jewish law as the final arbiter of judicial conflicts, and the preservation of the holy sites.
In short, there's much in there to upset a lefty. Indeed, a think tank named The Israeli Institute for Democracy, has been warning against it for several years, saying it would disrupt the delicate balance between Israel's being a Jewish state and a democracy.
Justice Minister Livni told interviewer Nadav Peri: "I'm against the law and will act to make sure it doesn't pass."
Livni added that she is also about to serve as chair of the ministerial legislative committee, which sends up government laws for Knesset approval, a new role she took up especially in order "to prevent legislation that would harm the Democrats values of the State of Israel."

1. Unimpressed by IDF Arrests, Hares Arabs Strike Again
by Gil Ronen

Arab terrorist youths threw rocks again, Friday morning, at the Gitai Avisar Junction, where similar attacks Thursday evening caused a car to crash, leaving a baby girl in critical condition. The baby's mother and two of her sisters suffered moderate to serious injuries.

No injuries or damage were reported in the Friday morning attack.

Chairman Gershon Mesika of the Samaria (Shomron) Regional Authority reacted to the Friday morning attack by saying, "We must stop the lawlessness, create deterrence and defeat this terrorism. Throwing stones is terror in every sense of the word."

By Friday morning soldiers had arrested 10 suspects, all of whom live in the area in which the attack was committed. 

Doctor's Fight for 2-Year-Old Adelle's Life
by Maayana Miskin

The two-year-old girl critically wounded in a rock attack near Ariel on Thursday night remains in extremely serious condition.

The girl, Adelle Biton, was in a car along with her mother and two older sisters, 6-year-old Naama and 4-year-old Avigail. All four were wounded when Arab men hurled rocks at a truck traveling the opposite direction, causing it to veer off course and hit their car.

Adelle was most seriously hurt. Her mother suffered moderate-to-serious injuries and the two other girls are in moderate condition.

"The two-year-old baby girl is in critical condition," a doctor at Beilinson hospital said. "We aren't giving up, we're doing everything we can to save her. We're optimistic."

The Biton family lives in the town of Yakir in Samaria (Shomron).

Just minutes before the attack in which the family was injured, terrorists carried out a similar attack targeting a car driven by a man from Eli. That attack wounded a one-year-old baby boy. The child suffered light injuries and is expected to recover.

A former MK's wife was hurt in a third rock attack Thursday. Aviva Hazan, who lives in Ariel, was hit in the eye by broken glass when terrorists hurled stones at a bus headed for Tel Aviv, breaking its windows.

The attacks Thursday led to renewed calls for the army to take rock attacks seriously and to change the rules of engagement to encourage soldiers to fire on rock-throwers. The IDF has since arrested 10 suspects in one of the attacks.

No NURSING HOME FOR ME!!!! and rock balancing art

Set Meaningful Goals


Lack of meaningful goals in life can lead to sadness. If you do not find meaning in what you are doing, you are likely to feel unhappy.

To solve this, ask yourself what goals you can set that to you would be meaningful. The goals need not be major ones. Even a temporary minor goal is better than none at all.

Make a list of goals to strive for. Be as specific as possible. Vague goals are not very motivating. Write down the major areas of your life and set goals in each of these areas: spiritual goals, interpersonal goals, self-improvement goals, etc.

Love Yehuda Lave

Here for example is one meaningful goal::

No NURSING HOME FOR ME!!!!

No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a Holiday Inn!

With the average cost for nursing home care being $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and too feeble.
I've already checked on reservations at

the Holiday Inn.

For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's $59.23 per night.

Breakfast is included, and some have happy hours

in the afternoon.

That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry,

gratuities and special TV movies.

Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc.

Most have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap.$5 worth of tips a day you'll have the entire staff scrambling to help you.

They treat you like a customer, not a patient.

There's a city bus stop out front, and seniors ride free.

The handicap bus will also pick you up

(if you fake a decent limp).

To meet other nice people, call a church bus on Sundays.

For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle bus and eat at one of

the nice restaurants there.

While you're at the airport, fly somewhere.

Otherwise, the cash keeps building up.

It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Holiday Inn will take your reservation today.

And you're not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city.

Want to see Hawaii ? They have Holiday Inn there too.

TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem.. They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience.

The Inn has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks to see if you are ok. If not, they'll call an ambulance . . .

or the undertaker.
If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.

And no worries about visits from family. They will always be glad to find you, and probably check in for a few days mini-vacation.

The grand-kids can use the pool.

What more could I ask for?

So, when I reach that golden age,

I'll face it with a grin.

AIDS WARNING!

To all of you approaching 50 or have REACHED 50 and past, this email is especially for you......

SENIOR CITIZENS
ARE THE NATION'S LEADING CARRIERS OF AIDS!

HEARING AIDS

BAND AIDS

ROLL AIDS

WALKING AIDS

MEDICAL AIDS

GOVERNMENT AIDS

MOST OF ALL,

MONETARY AID TO THEIR KIDS!

Not forgetting HIV

(Hair is Vanishing)


I'm only sending this to my 'old' friends.

I love to see you smile.
