Keeping-Jerusalem

Prime Minister Netanyahu, at his father’s 100 birthday celebration at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, said that Prof. Netanyahu was the person who most influenced him in his lifetime. It is partially thanks to Prof. Netanyahu, notes Zionist historian Eli E. Hertz, that Israel’s towns and cities in Judea and Samaria are totally legal under international law:

Article 80 of the United Nations Charter upholds all decisions made by UN’s predecessor, the League of Nations – including the Mandate for Palestine, granting Jews the absolute right to settle anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Professor Eugene Rostow, a past dean of Yale Law School and a key draftee of the UN Resolution 242, wrote that Prof. Netanyahu was among those who attended the San Francisco Conference in 1945, with the mission of protecting the Jewish right of settlement in Palestine. “Article 80 was the result of their efforts,” Rostow concluded.

It’s only natural to see increasing evidence of Jerusalem’s glorious Jewish past being unearthed, quite literally, under modern Israeli sovereignty. The new archaeological finds are also very timely – as the Arab onslaught attempting to detach Jerusalem from its Jewish roots gains steam, the facts on the ground, or “under” the ground, show quite otherwise.

The Talmud (Berachot 26b) says, “tefillot avot tiknum” – “prayer was established by the avot.” The Talmud then uses the following verse (Bereshit 19:27) to prove how Avraham established prayer: “Vayaskem Avraham baboker el hamakom asher amad sham et pnei Hashem” – “And Avraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.”

So we welcome the current enhancement of sanctions against Iran on the federal and New York State levels.

To eat is to live – to keep our physical bodies alive. For without the body, there is nothing. No experience. No memory. No joy and no hardship. But man, unlike animals, eats to live and to enjoy. So how should a Jew respond when he is challenged as to why he imposes upon himself not just ceremonies dedicated to the enjoyment of eating but even more to the limiting of what he can eat?

Around the world, Christianity and Islam comprise an estimated eighty-four percent of the world’s population – demonstrating that the Bible clearly has an extraordinary influence over humanity.
