The terrorists came on Shabbat night. Wind whispered through the quiet streets of Rechalim. The rustle of trees and the occasional hum of a passing car on the nearby highway were the only sounds in the small Samarian community.
Imagine being woken up at 5 in the morning by a wailing and threatening siren whose menacing tone rises and falls with the known signal of impending attack. It is the same sort of feeling that is experienced by families living near Gaza — those families have been experiencing sirens like this for years.
[:en]Well, it is the season of cleaning in Israel. We are just a few weeks before Passover, the holiday when we make sure not to eat any bread or leavened products, when we make sure that there isn’t even any bread in our homes.[:de]In diesen Tagen ist die Zeit des Saubermachens in Israel. Wir sind nur wenige Wochen vor dem Passafest, dem Feiertag, an dem wir darauf achten, kein Brot oder Sauerteigprodukte zu essen, an dem wir sicherstellen, dass es nicht einmal Brot in unseren Häusern gibt. [:nl]Dit is de periode van de grote schoonmaak. We leven nog maar een paar weken voor Pasen, het feest waarop we geen brood of andere producten eten waar gist in zit. We zorgen er zelfs voor dat er geen stukje brood in ons huis te vinden is. ‘Gedurende zeven dagen zal ongezuurd brood worden gegeten, geen gezuurd brood zal bij u gevonden worden en geen zuurdesem zal bij u in heel uw land gevonden worden’(Exodus 13:7).

We are encouraged to think about what we want to accomplish in our lives and then write it down, refer to it and continue to strive to reach those goals that we have set for ourselves.

You begin to see them in your mind, and then they start to come to pass in your life.
King Ahasuerus, ruler of 127 provinces and monarch of the great empire of Persia and Media, declares a lavish victory banquet in his capital city of Shushan, inviting all his citizens to partake of the decadent food and drink, and to bask in the glory of his riches and splendor.
We are all children of an Awesome G-d Who has enabled us to witness the fulfillment of prophecy in our own lifetimes. We have seen the restoration of the Jewish people after the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. G-d is orchestrating the final redemption and we have been invited to take part. Let’s let Him run the show and we will all be blessed in the process.
Rabbi Yehuda Glick is a special man indeed. I have not known him long — just a few years actually. But as our paths have crossed more and more in recent years, I have come to appreciate him as a very special person and a unique advocate for the Jewish people.
