Israel treats Ismail Hanayia's family in top notch Israeli hospitals.

By Rachael Alice Orbach

Ismail Hanayia's family enjoys top of the line care like all other patients in Israeli hospitals.  This news has been all over the Israeli media.  This is the man who is the head of Hamas, the terrorist organization which has been at war with Israel for a long time.  He wants to wipe Israel off the map.  He started the month long war this past summer!

Why does he have to send his family to Israel for treatment?  Aren't there hospitals in Gaza?  Oh, I forgot, they were used as terrorist outposts to shoot and store rockets.  So, there are other places he can send his family to?  Yes, 22 other countries who speak Arabic, and have fine facilities to treat sick patients.  I'm sure he would be able to get his daughter to Jordan, Kuwait,  and even Qatar have hospitals.

What is Israel thinking?  This man's family should have no right to receive medical care in Israel!
What is he going to do next?  Check himself into Kfar Shaul? ( a mental hospital in Jerusalem)

Learn Biblical Hebrew!

Hebrew is a rewarding language, with it you can visit Israel and speak with Israelis from all over the world.  My husband who is visiting in Belgium for a while, told me that he often hears Hebrew on the street even there!

I am working with a few students in Hebrew, and now I am even teaching Biblical Hebrew at this website:
   www.live-hebrew.net  I am working with a student in the book of  Shmuel



שמואל א פרק ט פסוק ג
תרגוםתוספותבניןרגיל או סמכותזמןזכר ונקבהגוףמספרשורשפעל
and the were lostופעלרגילעתידנקבההןרביםאבדותאבדנה
and he saidופעלרעתידזכרהואיחידאמרויאמר
Take - commandפעלרצוויזהואיחידקחקח
rise up - commandופעלרצוויזהואיחידקםוקום
Go - commandפעלרצוויזהואיחידלךלך
Seek commandפיעלרצוויזהואיחידבקשבקש

This verse is very interesting.  When you read a translation into English, you don't get the full impact of Kish's words.  Here is a literal translation of the verse:  And were lost the female donkeys that belonged to Kish, the father of Shaul; and he said Kish to his son Shaul, Take (command)- please, rise up (command) with you one of the young men, and get up (command) go(command) seek (command) the female donkeys.


A number of questions arise when we read the verse literally from the Hebrew.
Why did Kish have to command Shaul so many times?
Is this a foreshadowing of what is going to happen later after Shaul is already king?
Why are these donkeys so important?
How did they get lost?
Did someone take them?
Who is the servant that Shaul takes with him?

Keep these questions in mind as we continue reading this chapter.

Now, how do we translate this verse?  
And David returned to bless his wife, (household) and Michal, the daughter of Shaul went out towards David and said, "How honorable (glorious) that the King of Israel uncovered himself today, in the eyes of the female slaves (handmaidens) like uncovering, uncovered (like) one of the lowly ones. (empty)

Questions to think about:
What did David do?
What was his intention?
How did Michal feel about what he did?
How can we know how she feels?
What is strange about this verse? There are a few unusual wordings in the verse. List them.
Why is the root גלה  used so many times and in so many different forms?

We say Goodbye to the Succah, but not after taking a picture

The Succot Holiday this year was very special with many memories, the thunder storm, the wind,  a concert, and it being a Shmitta year, already there are some vegetables that have "Kidushat Shmitta" so we have to be very careful with them.   Enjoy and keep the memories fresh throughout the year!
