MOSHE HATORY
Living in the very heart of the Sha’arei Tseded neighborhood in Jerusalem, anonymous in the midst of a well-filled library, there is a Talmud Scholar * He looks like an Admor [Hassidic Rebbe], devotes his every moment to Torah [study], regards himself as a “Litvak” who conducts himself according to the customs of HAGRA” [The Gaon of Vilna, Rabbi Eliyahu] * 20 years ago he had been the pastor of a Christian congregation in Japan * His searches reveal the roots of our Jewish experience
“I was born in 1960 in Nagoya, a city of two million inhabitants. I was born prematurely and the oxygen of the incubator damaged my optic nerves. I was left with only four percent vision in my right eye.
Threaten a Nuclear First Strike in Order to Prevent Extinction

(A Hebrew version of this article first appeared in Makor Rishon Israeli Weekly on June 9th 2006. Henry A. Kissinger in Newsweek’s issue of 2/16/09 writes about Our Nuclear Nightmare. He says, “A new nuclear agenda requires coordinated efforts on several levels: first, the declaratory policy of the United States; second, the U.S-Russia relationship; third, joint efforts with allies as well as other nonnuclear states relying on American deterrence;…”)

It is impossible to rely on the deterrence of a “Second Strike” or on the protection of “Arrow” missiles * The promise of the “American Umbrella” is worthless * Only an Israeli threat, with resolute preparedness to carry it out, may motivate the Americans to terminate Ahmedinajad
Indiana Jones’ Son as one of the Righteous of the World
Posted by Zeev Galili in Uncategorized on February 12th, 2009
The vagaries of destiny are fascinating. Recently, I received an e-mail from which I discovered that the son of the scientist, after whom the role “Indiana Jones” was modeled, is one of the “Righteous of the World”. Furthermore, it turned out that this man, named Hiram Bingham had an indirect influence on my life.
Like other internet surfers, I too, am bombarded daily with dozens of messages and announcements which by experience I view with great suspicion. There are those messages which can be understood immediately as fictitious – whether it is the testimony of a person who tells about a green creature standing on his window-sill or swears he has rights to real estate on the moon which he is willing to sell for half price. Yet there are other messages that look innocent and serious, and only after thorough examination turn out to be the effusions of the fevered mind of the sender. Yet if one bothers to read the many messages, every once in a while it is worth the trouble when some real information arrives, exact and of vital importance that would not be available otherwise. Such information is the subject we’ll deal with today

THE WEDDING IN KFAR CHABAD
This is a short story about a small wedding that took place last week in K’far Chabad. If you like, it is a big story, which enfolds the essence of Jewish destiny in this generation.
You might begin this story with the wedding invitation we received last week from our Russian relatives. You can also start from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.

A collector of ancient maps from Ramat Gan has an historical, treasure * A giant map prepared by a British survey mission at the close of the 19th Century, the scale is 1 to 63,000 * The map proves that prior to the first Aliyah [wave of Jewish immigration] the Land was meager and empty * It verifies the Zionist claim: “A people without a land to a land without people”

In Jewish communities all over the world the question is asked, is the election of Barack Obama to the United States presidency good or bad for the Jews.
Did you lose your mind?
Before I provide my answer to this question I would like to bring you this story about the current American president George W. Bush. During the negotiation with the Hezbollah for the exchange of two captured and murdered Israeli soldiers for the serial child murderer, Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar and other Lebanese terrorists held by Israel, President Bush called Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and asked him, did you lose your mind? Why negotiate with a terrorist organization about the release of your soldiers who may not be alive? We have many US citizens kidnapped all over the world but we never negotiate with terrorists on principle. Negotiate with terrorists and every US citizen around the world will be targeted for kidnapping. In Iraq, for example, there are hardly any kidnapping. They know they will get nothing from us so they rather kill.
