Subject: Re: Should a jew settle in Israel?

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there is a dual standard among Israelis
 (NOTE: I do NOT mean all, but definitely some).
Consider this:  Jews all over the world abhor racism of any type, including whe
n the definition of racism is broadened to include various religious and social
 groups.  They also approve of equal rights for all peoples regardless of sex,
color, belief, etc. (at least I would like to think so).
Then why is it that Jews are the priviledged few with COMPLETE (emphasis) right
s in Israel?  Why are all others treated as minorities.  Or does some Jewish do
ctrine, which I haven't heard of, say that Jews are above all others?

Before anyone accuses me of anything, let it be known that I AM Israeli.

This reminds me a german woman I know. She went for one year to Israel and
got in love with Israel.... and the israelis. She returned to Germany and
decided to convert to Judaism. She worked quite hard for it and she achieved
to be a Jewess, with 3 orthodox rabbies doeing the conversion in Frankfurt.
Two years later she invited me to her marriage .... in a lutheran church.
To the ceremony came also one of her israeli friends from Israel and in the
hotel where the party was done she asked the vicar to do a "jewish" marriage
ceremony. He accepted!! For it they built a chupa and she asked us (the only
two jews in the party) to hold 2 of the 4 supports of the chupa. The israeli
accepted to do it, I didn't. The priester made the "jewish" ceremony by
reading some psalms.

   There are more pleasures that I experience at this time of the

is a wonderful book by S. Y. Agnon, called Days Of Awe.  It is an
anthology of commentaries, legends, traditions, and more.  It has
been a yearly source of inspiration at this time of year.  How it
is arranged is most unique.  Agnon arranged the book so the order
of the book follows the service of the Holy Days.  This inspiring
book has become an old friend.  It is published by Schocken.

This sauce is probably tzatziki, which is a yoghurt and cucumber sauce with
lots of garlic.  It goes very well on felafel.  I make it by dumping a con-
tainer of yoghurt into the cuisinart with the scary propeller blade inside, and
dumping peeled garlic and cucumber chunks in until it tastes really good.

This recipe is actually quite similar to my cholent recipe, only the
ingredients are different, and I don't use a cuisinart for the cholent.
It's rather a protean recipe.  I learned it from my grandmother.

Look at the Rashi on Parshat Hukat (Bamidbar 21:8). There it
talks about the plague of serpents that HaShem sent against
the Jews for their Lashon Hara. Moshe is told to build a serpent
(of brass) place it on a pole, and if the person was bit, he
should look at it and live.

Rashi:

The Rabbeim asked: "and is it the serpent that kills or causes to
live"?  rather it is that when the Jews look towards Heaven and
subjugate their hearts to their Father in Heaven, they will
be healed and if not ...

----

Ultimately, one has to look beyond the mere physical mechanical
properties of the world. It is not merely physical natural property
of snake venom to kill. It is ultimately the will of G-d that it
have that effect. If He does not wish snake venom to kill,
it would not have any effect. 

There is a story about R. Channinah's (I believe) daughter. Who
accidently bought vinegar instead of oil for the Shabbas candles.
Her father told here not to worry, the same G-d who commanded
oil to burn can also command vinegar to burn. And this is
exactly what occured for them that Shabbos.

Just as the cause and the healing from the snake wounds are ultimately
not physical categorical necessities, but ultimately brought about by
the will of G-d, so too are the accidents of the world and the power
of the mezzuzah to protect one from them. The mezzuzah is not an amulet
endowed with magical properties. Nor do accidents and unfortunate
occurances happen serendipidously (Contrary to anything that Kushner
might have said in "Why do bad things happen to good people"). All is
ultimately in the hands of G-d.

Absolutely.

But didn't this thread start with a statement that the Polish
government was soliciting outside money to keep the Auschwitz camp
intact? 

The best hedge against revisionism is the keeping of an accurate
history. If there really is a plan to demolish the camp, it's the
biggest boost anyone could do for the revisionists.

And frankly, I think the Jews paid enough already to those camps. The
Poles should have the decency to keep them intact.

>about Judaism.

Altho I'm not an expert... I would suggest the first step would be
for him to do some reading to see if he feels most comfortable with
the Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform (or any other existing) area.
 
Next seek out a rabbi.   He may not feel comfortable with the first
rabbi he contacts... if that happens, let him contact another and if
needed, another.  The rabbi will probably ask him a lot of questions
as to why he wants to convert, since conversion is accepting the 
yoke of the covenant.  It will take a lot of study and work on your
son's part, to attain the level of 'acceptance' which will be 
determined by his rabbi. Learning Hebrew is just a small part of it.
 
The following are some things he will probably encounter if he has
chosen a Conservative rabbi.

Once he has fulfilled his educational, moral and philosophical
commitment, he must be approved by a qualified Bet Din (rabbinic
court consisting of three qualified persons).  He must be
circumcised with the intent of conversion. If your son is already
circumcised, a mohel (person who does the circumcision) must
still be called in to perform a symbolic circumcision. This consists
of the rite of hatafat dam bris, which involves a pin-prick to let
a spot of blood flow. The required prayers are to be said. Of course,
the circumcision is done with an anesthetic.
 
Another requirement of conversion will be his immersion in a mikvah
(ritual bath). After the immersion, a Hebrew name will be given to
him by the officiating Bet Din.
 
Once completed, your son will be regarded as Jewish just as any other
born Jew. He should be encouraged to continue his education and training
which should further instill his love of Judaism and hopefully encourage
him to observe the commandments.

   Throughout  the year we make  a point of  having various "tune-ups."
Before a  long automobile trip  we must check  at least the  water, air
pressure in the  tires and  oil. As winter  approaches, home-owners  in
cold-weather climates make sure the heating system is running properly.
And every six months a reminder  to have your teeth cleaned and checked
comes from the dentist.
 
   The month of Elul,  which begins this coming Sunday,  is customarily
the  time for  a  mezuza  and  tefillin  tune-up.  During  these  weeks
preceding the holy days of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Succot and Simchat
Torah, we try  our best  to increase and  strengthen our observance  of
mitzvot.  Through doing  this, we  hope, we  will tip  the "scales"  of
justice to our side. Having our mezuzot and tefillin checked  is one of
the many ways to  help tip the scales.     Today, many beautiful covers
can  be  bought for  the mezuza  scroll.  Silver, glass,  Lucite, wood,
metal,  hand-crafted  ceramic, even  Wedgewood  and  Lenox make  mezuza
covers.  But  it is  the  parchment  inside  that  is of  the  greatest
importance.  Just imagine that  car you want  to tune up  for the trip.
Maybe it's  a BMW,   Porsche  or Infinity.  If the  body is in  perfect
condition, that's great.  But if the motor isn't  working, what good is
it? And if the  motor is a complete fake or not there at all, it's even
worse.
 
   That's why it's  important to  make sure that  the beautiful  mezuza
cover has a  working mezuza inside.  Make sure when  you purchase  your
mezuzot  (or tefillin) that they come from a reputable store or scribe.
Then, have them checked for wear and  tear each fall, or at least twice
in every seven years, as Jewish law requires.
 
   The mezuza is not a charm or amulet  and should not be considered as
one.  Yet it does  offer protection. As  explained in the  Kabbala, the
mezuza provides  G- d's  protection from  the time we  leave the  house
until the time we return home.
 
   Wouldn't  it be  nice  if the  all-American  Jewish dream  would  be
expanded to include not only two cars in every garage but also a proper
mezuza on every door?
