Noach: G-d Can Make a Little Go a Long Way / Sponsor a Piece of Israel
Israel's former Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff, Moshe Dayan was once quoted as saying, "Take the American declaration of Independence. It contains no mention of territorial limits. We are not obliged to fix the limits of the State." — Jerusalem Post 8/10/1967 ___________________________ G-d Can Make a Little Go a Long Way by Rabbi Yisrael Kaniel, Associate Director for Religious Affairs In the Torah section of Noach, we read of G-d's decision, as a result of the corruption that engulfed the planet, to destroy all that was on Earth in an extraordinary flood except for those creatures spared by G-d in the ark that he asked Noach to build. In order to prepare for the flood and ensure sufficient supplies for those in the ark, G-d enjoined Noach (Bereshit 6:21): "And as for you, take yourself of every food that is eaten and gather it in to yourself, that it shall be as food for you and for them." Upon reading the aforementioned verse, one may wonder about the seemingly superfluous wording of "food that is eaten" as well as how the ark could hold so much food to last for all of Noach's family and all the animals in the ark during their extensive stay there. An insight by the famous Gaon of Vilna solves both questions. The Gaon of Vilna notes (Pninim M'Shulchan HaGra al HaTorah, p. 36) that our Sages mention that the amount of food that can be consumed at once is the size of an egg (Babylonian Talmud, Yoma 80a). We can then infer that the words "that can be eaten" mean food the size of an egg that can be eaten at once. In other words, the Gaon of Vilna suggests that G-d enjoined Noach to prepare just the size of an egg of food per meal for those in the ark. G-d, in turn, blessed the food to satiate all those in the ark during their extended stay. Consequently, both of the aforementioned difficulties fall away. The seemingly superfluous language is meant to indicate the small size of food that Noach was asked to apportion which, in turn, explains how all the food could fit in the ark. Then, since, with His unlimited powers and omnipotence, G-d can make a little go a long way, G-d was able to make the little stored in the ark last for all its inhabitants for their entire stay. ___________________________ Save the Galilee - Sponsor a Piece of Israel! For the past year and a half, we've been publicizing the deteriorating situation in the Galilee (Israel's North). The situation has only worsened as Arabs are continuing to buy up Jewish land unabated as well as frequent land grabs of State land and massive illegal construction of houses and businesses. The authorities are still behaving with great indifference and often fear to do anything to enforce the law against the Arab population. Whilst we are not statisticians, every week we hear of another Arab purchase of large agricultural lands from Jewish sellers. Recently, for example, a 100 dunam (25 acres) lot was sold by a veteran family to Arabs in the exclusive village of Kfar Tavor. Thanks to concerned donors, we were able to purchase land in Rosh Pina and plant it with olive trees using exclusively Jewish labor. Unfortunately, although each Jewish managed purchase is significant, it is far from changing the downward momentum. We need everybody who cares to get involved and get their friends involved. We need to create a momentum of land buying and Jewish work on the land. Let the enemies of a Jewish State of Israel mourn in another one of the Nakbas as our affirming Jewish sovereignty is their stated disaster! You can be involved by sponsoring the Biblical 4 cubits (2 meters x 2 meters mini lots) for $136. You can donate 12 mini lots for $1200. You can sponsor a whole dunam (1/4 acre) fully planted with olive tree for $24,000. The most important thing is to stay involved and keep participating. Why not donate a fixed amount automatically each month? Say you can't donate $1,200 at one time. Why not do it in monthly installments of $100? Let's hope and pray that the positive start we've experienced thus far multiplies several times this coming year. With love of Israel, Joel Yosef Busner Rabbi Yisrael Kaniel "One who purchases 4 cubits (amot) in the Land of Israel is assured a portion in the World to Come" from Midrash Zuta on Megilat Ruth (4:5) Sponsor 4 square meters (2 meters x 2 meters the Biblical equivalent of 4 cubits x 4 cubits) of Lower Galilee farming land for B'Ahavat Yisrael's Avoda Ivrit (Jewish Labor) youth farming project and as soon as the next Dunam (1/4 Acre) is complete you will receive a certificate with your name and the location of your plot. -The land will be farmed exclusively by Jewish youths and the more land that is purchased and worked by Jews the better chance we have of ensuring Jewish sovereignty in the Galilee! Remember: Every Dunam (1/4 acre) of land will be planted, maintained, and harvested. Income derived from the produce of each property will be used to purchase and maintain our Torah V'Avoda Ivrit Youth Center. Your donation will be a lifetime income producing investment for a great cause! Sponsor a plot in your name, in someone's memory, etc. Price: $136 per unit Special Offer: Dedicate your own section of 12 plots for only $1,200! Sponsor a 1 dunam (1/4 acre) mini olive orchard for $24,000 ___________________________ B'Ahavat Yisrael: "Because I am a Jew!"

I am a Jew! Be proud and strong!
I bow my head at the Majesty of God in all his works. I believe that every person who God created has a mission in life, and part of that mission to be kind to everyone regardless of their skin color, or what they believe. I am a Jew, a people who have been persecuted for this vision of God and his world. My people finally have a place on this Earth to call our own. We have been killed and chased out of every country in the world I am a Jew.

God Is At Work In Our Lives (Story)
God Is At Work In Our Lives (Story)
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned
the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to
protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But
then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little
hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
The worst had happened - everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and
anger.
"God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was
approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.
"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal", they replied.
It's easy to get discouraged sometimes when things appear to be going badly.
But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in
the midst of pain and suffering.

A Rotten Deal - Hamas Promised More Kidnappings!
A Rotten Deal - Hamas Promised More Kidnappings!
Hamas has portrayed the Shalit prisoner exchange as a victory, and has openly vowed to kidnap more Israelis in order to free more prisoners. Among those who will be released are terrorists who have committed murder. Deputy Prime Minister Moshe (Bogie) Yaalonslammed the decision, saying "Our experience has made clear to us the terrorists we are releasing today will murder tens and perhaps hundreds of Israelis tomorrow." Hamas did not agree to an Israeli request to abandon a policy of future IDF kidnappings as part of the prisoner-swap agreement with Israel.
Abu Obaida, spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, Izzadin Kassam said that Schalit, who is set to be released as part of a prisoner exchange deal, "will not be the last solider kidnapped Hamas is also expecting the naval blockade of Gaza to lighten following the conclusion of the exchange. A Hamas official in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan, told Al Hayat that Israel was obligated to refrain from targeting any of the Palestinian prisoners as a part of the agreement.
Expansive Freedom Deal or Another Blackmail Cruelty
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu asked government to endorse deal with Hamas for bringing Gilad Shalit home within days although the price agreed is heavy: 1,027 jailed Palestinian terrorists, including 60 convicted for multiple murders.
Murder of More than 100 Jews on Release List
Among the murderers that will be released is Hussam Badran, former commander of Hamas in Samaria. He was responsible for massacres at the Tel Aviv Dolphinarium, Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, Matza Restaurant in Haifa and the Park Hotel in Netanya. Badran has as much Jewish blood on his hands as some of the Nazi criminals who were put on trial after the Holocaust.
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
There are many genuine people around the world, who are still suffering from occupation by others: Kurds, Armenians, Tibetans, Chechens, Western Saharans, and Basques. So-called Palestinians, recently forged mix of people, are not one of them! In fact, they are true occupiers of Jewish land!
Wake up Europe - Israel is not an Enemy!
At least 200 potential terrorists are actively planning suicide attacks while living freely in Britain, British intelligence chiefs have warned ministers. The figures are contained within a secret government report on the "enduring terrorist threat" facing Britain from al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations.
Egypt Defies Sinai Peace Terms
Cairo took two steps inimical to Israel . Egyptian Air Force Chief Gen. Reda Hafiz said to the official MENA news agency: "Sinai is our land and we do not need permission to increase our forces on our land" in direct contravention of the 1979 peace treaty signed with Israel which demilitarized Sinai by common consent. Furthermore, without waiting for Hamas to open the prison doors for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip, Cairo let his captors cash in on the prisoner exchange deal by providing the first Damascus-based Hamas leaders with a home in Cairo. (Islamic Brotherhood is taking over in Egypt and intending to violate 1979 agreement! Israel must be ready to take control of the Sinai and implement the Sinai Option!)
70 Years since Babi Yar Massacre - Nothing has Changed!
In the two-day killing spree in September 1941, Nazi troops gunned down more than 33,000 Jews and buried them in mounds of dirt at theBabi Yar ravine outside Kiev, Ukraine - then part of the Soviet Union .(This and other acts of genocide against Jews were only possible due to eager cooperation of local population - be it Ukrainians, Polacks, Lithuanians... - with Nazi occupiers. Now the international anti-Semites cooperate on the state level, like they were before WW2, with Islamic enemies of Israel!)
Colombia Rebuffed Abbas
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos rebuffed Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas who had travelled to Bogotá to secure support of his unilateral statehood bid at the United Nations.Colombia is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, where Abbas needs at least nine votes out of 15 - including positive recommendations from all five permanent members.
The UN human rights office called for Israel to stop Jewish settlers from attacking Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, accusing the army of failing to restrain settlers while being quick to use force against Palestinians. Israeli diplomats expressed surprise at the statement, saying it was released without warning and made no mention of violence directed at settlers. (How many calls has this Israel-hating organisation issued in the past and so promptly to stop Arab terror attacks against Jews?)
No International Outcry Against Arabs' Terror
A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a synagogue in Jaffa during protest by Arabs. The projectile struck the roof of the Rabbi Meir synagogue in the city.
Arabs Scrawl "Death to Jews" on Tzfat Synagogues
Arabs, scrawled "death to Jews" on four synagogues in Tzfat (Safed), the latest desecration of holy sites that has plagued Israel in recent weeks. Tzfat's Chief Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu expected Muslim clerics to denounce the desecration and hate messages, but no condemnation has been issued as of yet. (No instant international condemnation and there are no even news reports!)
Quote of the Week:
"Egypt is not going toward democracy but toward Islamisation. It is the same in Turkey and in Gaza. It is just like what happened in Iran in 1979." - Eli Shaked, a former Israeli ambassador to Cairo
by Gavriel Queenann
For me, Israelis were modern day Davids running rough-shod over the Philistine hordes. It wasn't just romanticism. It was fact. I was a year old when Israel sent the Arab invaders packing during the Yom Kippur War...
I was four when Israel carried out the stunningly audacious Operation Thunderbolt and rescued the 95 hostages at Entebbe. I wasn't yet 9 when an intrepid Israeli pilot riding his chariot through the sky took outIraq's Osirik reactor. The world condemned the strike, but privately breathed a sigh of relief. Israel had established a paradigm where it wielded frightful deterrence.
Every kid I grew up with knew the morally constant rule: don't mess with the Israelis. That kind of deterrence had more than the mere real political force of military success behind it. It was driven by a sense of purpose and identity held dear by a nation that had risen miraculously from the ashes and resurrected a waking reality from a dream it had dreamt for eighteen centuries.
It was the moral force of a people who had pride in who they were and what they - through their Torah and traditions - stood for. Israelis were a proud people unafraid to demand their rights and to declare their worth - not the least of which was the high price of Jewish blood.
But at some point the force behind Israel's deterrence was lost. In the scandalous words of former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Israelis grew "tired of winning." What was so chilling was that Olmert, who was only speaking for a certain group, who is only representative of a trend of ennui that has struck deep among Israel's so-called power elite, didn't ken what he himself had told the world.
For Israel, winning isn't simply about success on the battle field against foes, who would not only drive us out, but slay us to a man. Its about the Jewish dream, and our sense of identity, purpose, and worth. Its about being sovereign and secure so that we may build a G-dly society and be a light unto nations...
And the Arabs know it. Releasing 1,000 terrorists, many with Jewish blood on their hands, to free one soldier whose duty was to go into harms way to protect his people is flatly unacceptable...
It sends the clear message to the terrorists we're no longer giants - that our children are theirs to kidnap and kill, and that our blood comes cheap. "People make peace with the strong. They don't make peace with the weak. They push the weak aside," Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said before Rosh Hashannah.
The deal reportedly brokered for Gilad Shalit's release is a sign of weakness stemming from moral bankruptcy - and an invitation to genocide.
I feel deeply for Gilad Shalit. He has suffered and lost years in the service of his nation. I see his parents and weep for them. But his suffering, and theirs, does not justify actions that will lead to more families suffering as they have, or worse, the deaths of the countrymen Gilad was honour bound to protect...
It's time for Israelis remember how to be giants.

The Angry Man a story by Rachael Orbach
The Angry Man
By Rachael Orbach
Avishai Cohen was an angry man. Everything that happened made him angry. The way he woke up in the morning groggy and full of sleep filled him with anger. “Why can’t I wake up like everybody else?” he would say to himself. After a cold shower he felt a little better, that was until he heard the morning news. “ More Grad missles fall on Sederot” the headline blared out. “ Why do they have to have a war in the middle of my vacation?” he demanded.
The children didn’t want to get dressed, “Get dressed children!” Avishai yelled.
“ Don’t yell in the morning,” his wife reminded.
But Avishai could not listen, and continued being angry. He left to go to shul, slamming the door.
It was a relief not having him in the apartment for an hour, now things could get done without all that noise.
His wife needed the car to take a child to the doctor, so she drove Avishai to work.
“Move in to the right lane.” Avishai directed.
“No, I need to be in this lane because at the next street, I have to make a left,” his wife countered.
“Hey, beep that car, he is going to come into your lane!” Avishai pushed.
“No, I can’t beep, I’m going around him and I need my hands on the steering wheel to drive.”
“But he was in your way! Why didn’t you beep him?”
“It is not up to me to tell him how to drive. If he is not careful, he is going to have an accident, but I go around traffic hazards very carefully.” his wife said.
“Where are you going?” Avishai asked.
“I’m taking you to your work, aren’t I” his wife said
“But I wanted to go the other way!” said Avishai,
“You asked me to drive, so you don’t bother the driver, I had a plan that would take us to your job with the least amount of traffic, and the safest way, without dangerous, busy intersections, so I don’t have to make left turns without traffic lights. When you ask someone to drive, you are a passenger, not the driver and you let the driver make the driving decisions. If the driver gets distracted, mistakes can happen, which can cause accidents.” His wife said calmly.
“Hey! You went through a red light!” yelled Avishai
“Proves my point, you distracted the driver and I made a mistake. If you continue to badger me while I am driving, I won’t not only drive you but also not get in the car with you at all.“ his wife said. With that she parked the car, got out and walked the long way home. She would use a taxi to take the child to the doctor. It just wasn’t worth the emotional trouble to drive her husband to work.
Post notes: We all have angry people in our lives. The best way to deal with them is to reframe, that is to ask yourself what positive ways can I deal with this. Why is the person angry? Will you stay in this fight all day?
Can you find a way around the situation. In this story, the wife, finds it too much to deal with the husband's anger so she gets herself away from the situation. It might not have been the most constructive way to deal with it, but sometimes a break is the best thing to do.
