Just in case you are interested, and have not seen:
The vote was able to pass the 15-member council on Friday because the United States broke with a long-standing approach of diplomatically shielding Israel and did not wield its veto power as it had on many times before – a decision that Netanyahu called “shameful”.{https://ca.news.yahoo.com/defying-pressure-u-lets-u-n-denounce-israeli-003317040.html}
Or “President Barack Obama’s administration staged a “shameful ambush” by allowing the UN Security Council to pass a resolution declaring Israel’s West Bank settlements illegal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his first public comments since Friday’s vote.” {https://www.bloomberg.com/…/obama-staged-shameful-ambush-ag…}
Or “UNITED NATIONS (AP) — […]
This will be a difficult one for me. Many of the people on the earth today either do not believe in their actions as sin or think all you should need to say is “I’m Sorry” with a pretended truth to the words.
There are those that have faith that on their death bed, no matter how bad, if they just ask for forgivness, it will be fixed and they will go to heaven(where ever heaven is.) so “keep on keepin’ on”. As it has been said in many forms.
Is that right? Is that Justice? No matter how bad […]
So what is this day? Can we not just ask for forgiveness and that should be enough?
Why should All of the Children of Jacob do this Day of Atonement?
There seems to be misunderstandings regarding the day and the purpose.
Before we get started with this session, I highly recommend that, if you have not read the post Acknowledge, Regret, Repent! Atonement, that before you go further, take the time now to read it and then proceed with this one.
The LAW According to the Hand Of Moses.
Leviticus 16:
29 And it shall be a statute for ever […]
Less that a week before the Day Of Atonement, Rabbinic year 5777, Biblical 5997. In getting ready for this years events, many are presenting ideas about asking for forgiveness and what that should entail.
I heard one talk by a rabbi, declaring this is the best process:
1) Be unhappy or regret what you have done, 2) Acknowledge what you have done, 3) Tell the person you wronged, that you are sorry, 4) Ask for forgiveness for what you have done, 5) Try to repair the damage you caused.
This has caused a number of discussions about forgiveness. Some have […]
Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which have occurred on the ninth of Av. This is a quote from Judaism 101
Yes there are many similar descriptions of Ninth of Av(meaning of Tisha B’Av).
In the middle of Shabbat night, I awoke with these thoughts:
Tisha B’Av, On this day we strive to remember the losses. The House of the Name, which King Solomon built, the second Temple destroyed 70 c.e. along the other terrible events that have happened […]
The presented question was: “Will someone please explain, why do only Jews get to go to Heaven, and the rest of humanity, that Gd did create, go to some second kind of Heaven?”
The person who asked this question, it seems, heard a Rabbi make a similar statement. This upset the questioner greatly and she was confused and angry. Personally, I can understand the mood of the questioner, and I will say that I was very disturbed that any religious leader would or could say such a thing, but it is not unexpected, at least by me.
My responses follow:

It is observed that, we(most people of the earth), are willing to take anything EXCEPT the Written TORAH by the Hand of Moses, as justification for personal actions.
Even the Rabbinic version and use of the word “Torah”, which their definition has been and continues to be: “All Jewish writing”. Which is then given equal or greater validity to that of: Written TORAH in the Scroll, carried in most Shuls on Shabbat with reverence; treated with pomp and circumstance; which contains no vowels; and has not changed for 3500 years.
Not even one letter is allowed to be wrong. When […]
A response to a Rabbi on Face Book.
Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law: ‘We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.’ 30 And he said unto him: ‘I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.’ 31 And he said: ‘Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the […]
The Really BIG WHY? Was the original writing.
A continuance of this topic, or just some more thoughts about this topic.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.
So what’s the point of this attention grabber? This: “He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited:”
It is easy to be confused by all of the prophecies. You could […]
Moses, descendant of Levi, the one the The GOD of Israel, spoke to mouth to mouth, as a friend.
Here is a man that was a shepherd in Midian maybe forty or more years, and made one choice that changed the world ever after. One decision which we have recorded, that opened his eyes so that he could never go back to being a tender of sheep again. More of this later!
There was a time when Moses failed, and was punished for the failure, although I could show evidence that he, Moses was suppose to fail at this event.
