Today's Inspiration

 

The King's Treasure

Three officials were assigned to guard the king's treasures. They proved to be corrupt, and, dividing the valuables, ran away. One thought better of it, and returned of his own accord. The second was persuaded by a friend to return. The third witnessed the execution of an embezzler and returned out of fear. The first was restored to the king's confidence; the second received a less responsible post; the third was appointed executioner of the embezzlers.
"There are three kinds of people in this world who act like these three officials with respect to the fulfillment of God's injunctions," explained the Pulnoer.

(postponed from last week)

given by Rabbi Shlomo Kory
Certified NLP Master-Practitioner

"To lie to another person is a sin.? To fool yourself is ridiculous."
---The Piaseczno Rebbe,? author of "Chovas Hatalmidim"?

??We all make mistakes!? However,? many of our mistakes can be avoided.

? ?In this new series we will explore:?
--how erroneous beliefs can cause people to make major mistakes in life
--how to become aware of our erroneous beliefs
--how we can correct them??

?? In the first session you will learn about "Cause -Effect" types of beliefs.
"If I do A,? ?then B will result" . Of course,? ?sometimes this is true ,? but many times it is not.?

Here are?two examples of a "cause-effect" belief:?
?"If I work hard,? the company?will give me a raise in salary".? ?
?"If I give my children everything they want,? they will love me" .?

??The?seminar is on Zoom and is free.
We will begin?iy"H this Tuesday evening,

The name "Israel" and the exercise of power today

?

Much of the western world has shown that it can sympathize with the Jews when they are weak and powerless and are victims of hatred and persecution. Attitudes change dramatically, however, when the Jews are strong and exercise their power to overcome their adversaries and defend Jewish life. Thus, throughout most of its history, rather than lauding the State of Israel for its ability to protect its citizens from the onslaught of its enemies, the world often blames it for inflicting on them what is perceived as unnecessary pain and suffering. In the same vein, although many were sympathetic to Israel in the immediate aftermath of the October 7th Hamas massacre of innocent Israeli citizens, that sympathy soon morphed into anger and outrage when Israel responded forcefully to destroy Hamas so that such attacks could never happen again. It seems that a powerful Israel that has the military capacity to defeat its enemies and defend its citizens is too much for the world to swallow. Apparently, the world has not quite grasped what this week's parasha tells us about our identity as a people.

?

In the midst of Jacob's encounter with his brother Esav, Jacob is attacked at night by a mysterious man or a divine being. The two wrestled with one another all night, and although Jacob was injured, he ultimately emerged victorious. Nevertheless, Jacob refused to let his assailant go until he blessed him: "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel ("?????"), for you have striven (" ("????with beings divine and human, and have prevailed." What this mysterious being was trying to impart is that Jacob's essence is "Israel", namely, one who, when confronted by threats to his life, fights back and prevails. Strength, fortitude, power, and the ability to employ these to overcome his adversaries will be, from here on in, his defining characteristics as well as those of his descendants. Thus, when Jews in the State of Israel are attacked today, it is incumbent upon them to remain true to their identity and fight back until their enemies are defeated.

?

But there is another meaning to the name Israel: "-"???-?? "honest (with) God". In other words, the name "Israel", unlike the name "Jacob" (????) which is associated with trickery and deception, refers to integrity and uprightness. Thus, to be a descendant of Israel is also to be a representative of moral rectitude. And here is the rub: while in contemporary parlance power is often seen as the source of immoral behavior and oppression, the Torah is teaching us otherwise. To be "Israel" is to be both powerful and morally upright and to recognize that sometimes the exercise of power, such as the war to eradicate evil that Israel is currently waging against Hamas, is an expression of the loftiest moral ideals.

?

May Israel, therefore, continue its military campaign, without wavering and without succumbing to international pressure, until it is victorious, and may Hamas "be frustrated and terrified, disgraced and doomed forever" (Psalms 83:18).
