Thoughts on Parshat Pinchas

If You Wish it, it’s Not a Dream
“Somewhere over the rainbow” is a beautiful sweet song. For anyone who grew up on the story of Wizard of Oz, the song itself and an amazingly clever storyline shaped our views. Somehow innocent story keeps growing with us. But did you know that the song itself, although written for the movie, was inspired by…… Continue reading If You Wish it, it’s Not a Dream
How Dutch Farmers Inspired Me
There’s a great wisdom in saying to fear only HaShem. More often than not this simple phrase provides insights into situation. It’s especially useful for my personal growth. Often with time things change. this happened to our community too. Stories of courage, raw feelings, triumphs and mistakes became just stories… became past. It’s still shocking…… Continue reading How Dutch Farmers Inspired Me

Celebrating the Terror
Understand the situation. Look at the photo. This is the reaction to the terrorist attack. Did you know about it? Did your news outlets tell you? Or did they decide to ignore it? This is the face of the enemy. Watch videos. Understand the situation. These are the “peace partners”. Your MSM are not going…… Continue reading Celebrating the Terror
Happy Chanukah Everyone
It’s time for us to remember our history and try to learn from it. A few weeks ago we were reading about Yakov’s ladder and discussed that life is a movement. Where did it move from the last Channukah celebration? There is no doubt in my mind that the world is moving forward to better…… Continue reading Happy Chanukah Everyone
Equal Rights for Refugees
She is a successful and good looking professional woman. Her field of expertise is law. One would expect her to stand strong against inequality. After all, same laws should apply to everyone and people are innocent until proven guilty, right? Read the article, look at her and ask yourself – would you pick her as…… Continue reading Equal Rights for Refugees
The Jewish experience ascending the Temple Mount
My thoughts after reading an article in the Jerusalem Post. It’s a great improvement, yet it’s not a true freedom to pray in the holiest place for every Jewish person. We have a long way to go before we can say it’s truly prayer without harassment. Furthermore, there are a few claims, which are not supported…… Continue reading The Jewish experience ascending the Temple Mount
UN sponsoring boycott of Israel
My thoughts after reading an article in Hayom There are times in human history when people would get together for different reasons. Throughout the history unions, treaties, partnership, alliances and other bodies were formed. Typically these organisations have one purpose. Let’s be honest, it’s generally starting as a positive response to some particular event, majority…… Continue reading UN sponsoring boycott of Israel
Big Tech attacks Art
Musings on article about Israeli artist Alex Levin Growing up in socialist country was complicated – on one hand the only religion allowed was worshipping the government and on the other hand we all had our nationality (more accurate is division on Jews and the rest of people based on the place of birth) written…… Continue reading Big Tech attacks Art
Media Bias
It’s as important as ever to understand the power of big tech. NEVER give up your rights. Above all, next time you are trying to understand any political event, don’t just google it or rely on wiki – do proper research, follow both sides of the discussion. For years we are living in the world…… Continue reading Media Bias
Socialism or Antisemitism
Musings after reading an article https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/finance-codeword-for-jewish interesting analysis, especially because i don’t support Elizabeth Warren. The idea of wealth redistribution is socialism & I know first hand how horribly the socialist system works. As they say, if you are not a socialist in your younger years – you have no heart, if you are still a…… Continue reading Socialism or Antisemitism
Facebook’s “Standards”
Here we are again – this does not violate community standards. They understand that it might be offensive. Really? Let me think for a second, in which way it’s not offensive? Murdering Jews is not going against their standards? Or portraying Arabs as bloodthirsty murderers? Or they think that they celebrate murder? Make no mistake,…… Continue reading Facebook’s “Standards”
Palestine – Factory of Lies
Did you cry when you saw the story? Young child is a victim. A victim of what? Our media will not report the truth. It’s very frustrating. Make no mistake, our media outlets have a lot to answer for in the current events. Words are important. Unlike many other cultures, Judaism pays attention to words…… Continue reading Palestine – Factory of Lies
BDS is Honest. Are We?
My thoughts after reading an article in World Israel News. BDS are pure anti-Semites. No ifs or buts. They endorse a statement “from the river to the sea”, which is denying Israel any rights to exist. European Union are socialist driven. Any socialist cannot coexist with religion. It’s rather simple – socialist ideology is placing…… Continue reading BDS is Honest. Are We?
