Para Aduma in Shilo

A red heifer, a para aduma, has arrived in Israel and has been sent to Shilo to be housed there, with a couple more on their way.

They say these heifer are fully kosher as para aduma, with no black hairs and never having born any burden or yoke. 

Some are saying this is a sign of Machiach's imminent arrival. I don't know about that - we have had supposedly kosher para aduma raised in the past yet Mashiach did not come, but I guess halevai that it should happen this time.


They are going to have to keep this in a very careful environment, which must be difficult. Even if this heifer itself does not foretell the coming of Mashiach, which I guess remains to be seen, it is interesting, fascinating, to see people working to bring back, re-create, Jewish traditions of old, similar to the Tekhelet, and similar to recreating the Temple vessels, ascension to Har Habayit. It is all part of the return to the Land of Israel and the ingathering of the exiles...

shrinking the Holocaust

Likud activist Itzik Zarka last night lost control and screamed at protestors (near his house I think) that he is proud that 6 million ashkenazim were burned in the Holocaust..

Shocking, unacceptable.

After some initial tepid criticism by people in the Likud, as the criticism was starting to pick up Zarka apologized for what he said. ok, whatever. Netanyahu has even given orders to kick him out of the Likud for what he said (Zarka has close ties with Netanyahu and has been seen in the past visiting with Netanyahu and even hugging together) so we'll see if that happens on the surface but in the next elections he continues to work for the Likud, or not. And if the Likud does kick him out, I do not think he will get the same level of inexplicable support from the Left that Yoav Galant and Ami Eshed got...to put it mildly...

I have no doubt that he didnt mean it. I dont know him personally, but I have no doubt. He lost control of his mind and his mouth. He might be an idiot but I do not believe he is proud 6 million Jews, Ashkenazi or not, were murdered in the Holocaust. He was able to say what he said, it came to mind and was able to come out of his mouth, only because we have demeaned the Holocaust in today's generation. When all sorts of groups protest, it is all too common to hear screams of "Nazi" directed at policemen and policewomen. In the political sphere it is all too common to hear comparisons of the other side to senior Nazi officials or Nazi policies. 

When we treat our own common debates and conflicts as equivalent to the Nazi regime it is no surprise that people have lost the concept of the enormity of the Holocaust and how much worse it was than anything we can even imagine happening today.

The Holocaust has shrunk. We use it in every day terminology in all the wrong ways. With all the Holocaust education Israel employs, with all the museums and ceremonies and days of commemorations.. with all the trips to Auschwitz and other concentration camps and Poland and bringing foreign dignitaries to Yad Vashem... with all that, we have successfully brought the Holocaust down to being a symbol of anyone we dont like.

Tweet of the Day




Fleisher recently hosted New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman in Hebron so I trust this invitation is offered honestly and with integrity... though I am not sure the comment about liberated lands was necessary. Perhaps just be happy that even a leftist like Beinart on the other end of the political spectrum can still feel the pull to go pray at the Kotel. 

I did check to see if this is real. Peter Beinart is, or was, in Israel, From his feed I saw he did respond to this tweet (with some uninteresting comment about equal human rights in Hebron) and did not deny it is he.

Quote of the Day

Do you know how much it costs to train a pilot? There is an awesome deal in place between the Nation of Israel and its beloved and heroic fighters. We will love you, we will give you our souls, we will fund your training from our pockets in the most generous manner. And on the day of duty you will defend and protect us. They broke this deal..

  -- Minister Galit Distal Abtaryan, about the air force pilots who threatened to not report to reserve duty

to remind you, the ones who threatened to not show up for duty were volunteer reservists. They already completed their required service and their required reserve duty and have volunteered to continue serving in the reserves for more years. They havent kept their side of the deal because they no longer want to volunteer their time after completing often a couple decades of service?

Shocking votes

MK Yiztchak Kroizer of Otzma Yehudit was just voted in as the Coalition's representative on the judicial Selection Committee.

Mazel tov

Interestingly, Kroizer obtained 86 votes to secure the victory

That means 22 members of the Opposition voted for a representative of Otzma Yehudit - a far Right party. 

Shocking. Surprising. I wonder what that is about. I wonder if they think they are putting a nutcase extremist on the committee who will basically blow everything up and make it all fall apart, or if they really supported him.
