Parsha Korach 5769-A: Was Dying by Heavenly Fire Worth the Incense?

Friday, June 19th, 2009

.
Commentary by Moshe Burt
The legendary Jeff Seidel sent around this Parsha HaShevua Korach to Facebook subscribers:
Parshat Korach relates the story of Korach, Datan, Aviram and 250 members of the shevet (tribe) or Reuven challenging Moshe’s choice for Kohen Gadol (high priest). The end result was that the 250 members were burned by a heavenly fire, […]

Dayenu 5769: The Korban Pesach; Its Modern-Day Sequels?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

.
by Moshe Burt
This year will mark fourteen years, and my eleventh Pesach in Eretz Yisrael, in which I have emailed, as it has become tradition with me from prior to my Aliyah, the rendition of Dayenu quoted from the book “Dear Brothers.” In each year, Dayenu holds a unique perspective, unlike the perspective of any […]

Parsha Vayeishev 5769: Yosef and the Brothers’ False Perceptions

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

.
by, Moshe Burt
A few years ago, just before Chanukah, a short article appeared on the INN website entitled; “Mortar Shells Filled With Chanukah Light” told about the Menorah made from some of the spent Islamic mortal shells which were launched on Neve Dekalim over the years.
Reading about this special Menorah which was lit […]

Olmert’s Words on Holocaust, Actions in Direct Contradiction

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

.

Commentary;
The righteous-appearing comments of prime minister Olmert on the Holocaust are nothing more than shallow, self-serving rhetoric. Olmert reveals with these words not the least comprehension of the implications and true meanings of words he mutters, were these words to have been spoken by a true leader of the Jewish people.
But Israel’s Spirit […]

Beggar Livni on Knees to Nations for Captives, Ignores Pollard

Friday, April 11th, 2008

.

Commentary;
Frankly, this author finds rather demeaning that the Israeli foreign minister, in her broken, barely understandable English, can do nothing more than beg the Nations for release of soldiers Schalit, Regev and Goldwasser.
Tzipy, we haven’t forgotten your indignant crying tantrum at Annapolis when none of the Islamic men would talk you […]

From the Horse’s Mouth: Livni: Jerusalem on the Table

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

.
Commentary;
One must question whether this report is even eligible for posting on this blog as it is axiomatic that the Olmert regime has been dividing Jerusalem since prior to day 1 of Annapolis.
But perhaps, this short report is notable for the very reason stated above. Further, it keeps us focused on the FACTS that […]

Will Olmert Regime Back Down on Givat Ze’ev, Stiff Shas?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

.
Commentary;
There is a type of “convergence” of several major stories of this time into one;

The not-so-secret meetings between Ehud Olmert, Tzipy Livni, Mahmud Abbas and Ahmed Qurei in which Jerusalem is being divided, despite Olmert’s dubious denials.
Shas’ egregious failure to keep their promise to leave the government, despite the now open fact that Jerusalem […]
