Are we honouring our homeland as proper Jews to Mother Israel? |
Travel Info And Haran died in front of Terach his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim. (11:28) Rashi in his commentary to this posuk brings the story of how Nimrod cast Avraham Avinu into the furnace for refusing to bow to the idols. This is counted as the first of Avraham鈥檚 Ten Trials (Bartinura to Avos 5:3). The Satmar Rav once asked: why did this trial show the greatness of Avraham Avinu? Didn鈥檛 thousands of Jews throughout history - even simple, unlearned Jews who were far below Avraham Avinu鈥檚 level - willingly stick out their necks to be killed rather than worship idols? But the answer is that Avraham Avinu鈥檚 yetzer hara told him, 鈥淵ou are the only one in the whole world who is teaching the existence of Hashem. If you die, there will be no one le魛劄 to spread the truth. Be魛劥er pretend to bow to the idol just this once, and then go on teaching the world about Hashem for your whole life.鈥?Avraham Avinu replied to his yetzer hara, 鈥淣o! I do not want to bow down to an idol even once, even if by so doing I can correct the whole world!鈥?(Toros V鈥檜vdos Mibeis Raboseinu) Travel Tips It isn`t your homleland. It belongs to the Palestinians from who you stole it by terrorism and who now are refugees in their own land. Only when the rightfull owners return will there be peace. Others What a load of old bollocks If you loved Israel so much how come most of you left it in the first place. Nice drash, but I don't see what that has to do with Israel. So in response to your question: yes. this is another example of trying to influence public opinion but is interesting ONLY to Jews. You are barking under wrong tree. Question should be "what Jews do wrong to provoke so much opposition for generations?? Lessons in Jewish history - ancient at that is of little in any interest to people in general. PRESENT time is what counts, not ancient history and PRESENT time can have influence. THINK THINK THINK!!! Hey, Anna, that IS what he is trying to tell people like Michael J. You understand Chaim, that guy does not. Are you honoring your homeland that you deny basic rights to the prior owners. The homeland of the palestinians. |
