Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

“Moab was alarmed because that people was so numerous. Moab dreaded the Israelites” (Numbers 22:3)
“And he said to his people, “Look, the Israelite people are much too numerous for us.” (Exodus 1:9)

How the world views us has been at the core of the war with Hamas since October 14th.  The world gave us the benefit of the doubt, gave us the right to defend ourselves one week and then world opinion changed.  Security council condemnation began. At the behest of South Africa, The International Court started criminal investigations.  Protest began on the college campuses. As Dara Horn, the author of the book “People Love Dead Jews” might say, the world just doesn’t like.  People have sought ways and reasons for our destruction.  Yet we stand strong.  We survive and more than merely existing we continue to make the world a better place, through science, technology, art and culture.  Am Yisrael Chai. 

This week’s discussion during the sermon time will be: "Understanding What is Written Between the Lines"
