The Beis of Creation.: Tzaddik Magazine: "Tzaddik Magazine
Tzaddik Magazine: "This is the essential message of Chanukah, and it is a completely new concept having nothing to do with what transpires during the regular annual cycle. Chanukah draws its power from a place far beyond our conception, infusing us with such great hope, despite our inability to see the “light at the end of the tunnel.” This gives us a point of faith from which to draw, infusing us with a spirit of life. The light of Chanukah is a completely different type of light, since its source is higher than the seven days of creation. ""

Is an Attack on Iran's Nuclear Program a Bad Idea? - Jeffrey Goldberg - International - The Atlantic
Is an Attack on Iran's Nuclear Program a Bad Idea? - Jeffrey Goldberg - International - The Atlantic: " raising the issue of Obama's record of seriousness on counter-terrorism and nuclear nonproliferation issues (to the chagrin of some critics to my right) because I believe Iran should take him seriously on this particular matter, and I also believe Israel should take him seriously. There are many advocates in Israel of a preemptive strike against Iran who do not believe that Obama would ever use force to stop its nuclearization. These are the sort of people who are pushing hardest for a unilateral Israeli strike, soon. "

Noam Shalit: Gilad's captivity was harsh - Israel News, Ynetnews
Noam Shalit: Gilad's captivity was harsh - Israel News, Ynetnews: ""His appetite is fine, but he does have trouble sleeping," Shalit continued. "He needs time to adapt… it's a transition from being isolated for five and a half years, nearly 2,000 days without daylight. As I said, he is suffering from the effects of sunlight deprivation. We hope he will adapt and regain a sense of normalcy soon."

As for the media's clamoring to speak with Gilad, his father said: "I understand that the media wants to see him, but he needs time. He's in no condition… he just can't meet so many people at once."
Pressed harder, Shalit senior reminded reporters that "Gilad is still a soldier and must follow the IDF Spokesperson’s orders. He is in no condition for a press conference.""

I appeal to my government, and especially Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and defense Minister Amir Peretz, to do everything in their power to release me as soon as possible because every day that goes by hurts me more, and to consent to the requests of mujahideen that detained me from within a tank near Kerem Abu Salem.

Rabbis share 'halachic manifesto' against Shalit deal - Israel News, Ynetnews
Rabbis share 'halachic manifesto' against Shalit deal - Israel News, Ynetnews: "At a visit to the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City, the rabbi said that the deal was contrary to the Torah's practices as the Torah forbids the release of murderers.
"The halachic outlook negates the release of murderers. The blood of Gilad Shalit is precious to us all and we all love him, but his blood is no redder than that of anyone else."
He added that: We unite beyond any dispute and love one another. We are strengthening this love."
Yair Altman and Eli Mendelbaum contributed to the report"

"For example, by not holding terrorists in 'five star' conditions in prison and by preventing any aid from reaching the Hamas government in Gaza… but not by actions that could endanger and humiliate Israel."
The rabbi noted that he was happy to see the show of sympathy and joy at the news of "the return of the captive soldier to his family and the nation. This is where the basic truth of Israel's mutual trust and love are revealed in all thir scope and depth, though we must look at the event from all its perspectives and draw practical conclusions. ""

Mohamed Erian, co-chief executive of the giant asset management firm Pimco, told the newspaper that short-term credit trading for anyone other than the federal government remained at a “virtually nonexistent level” Friday, saying, “While constituting a necessary condition, the rescue package is not sufficient to radically counter the immediate disruptions.”"

Torah Umadda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torah Umadda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Firstly, along with the Haredi community, the ideology demands adherence to the halakha; however it is not insistent that strictures (chumras) are normative, rather, these are a matter of personal choice[11] (see 2.1 and 4.1 under Modern Orthodox Judaism). Secondly, relative to the Haredi community - but less so than in non-orthodox communities - women are starting to play a public role within the community,[12][13] (in roles other than strictly religious).[14] Thirdly, the movement will engage with the broader Jewish community, as discussed below, and with the secular world, as opposed to the Haredi approach of minimising such contact."

Daily Zohar #563 – How to stop earthquakes | DailyZohar.com: "irst earthquake in the Torah happened when Korach, who is the left column, wanted to control the right column by becoming a Kohen. The result was an earthquake that swallowed Korach and all of his people.
On that event God gave a warning to Moses, Aaron and the others to move away from Korach so they won’t have the same outcome. What kind of warning do we have now?
It’s not about the people few thousand miles away. It’s about you and me, here or there.
Nowadays, we are all sharing the global tikkun and have responsibility for each other."

Daily Zohar #563 – How to stop earthquakes | DailyZohar.com: "the Zohar explains that the physical world is directly affected by our misuse of the spiritual system.
The Slave is the aspect of male and right column of negativity that uses the purity of the light for its own purposes. The same aspect is with the female slave that is from the left column.
When the two columns of negativity take over the central column, which is the aspect of balance in the spiritual system, it creates imbalance, which is the opposite effect in the physical realm.
The negative side is the aspect of death and the desire for the self. It doesn’t have continuation and energy of life like the positive side.

UN Evacuates Gaza Fearing Israeli Response - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News
UN Evacuates Gaza Fearing Israeli Response - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News: Palestinian Authority bid for statehood at the UN in September leading many to question whether a large scale preemptive Israeli operation in Gaza – which some security officials have already called for – will be launched before the world body convenes.
"The attacks demonstrate the weakening of Egypt's control over the Sinai Peninsula and the expansion of terrorist activity there," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said, adding "These attacks originate in Gaza and we will act against them with full force and resolve."
Barak's focus on Gaza – and the Hamas terror organization that rules it – comes as Egyptian officials say Thursday's attacks were unlikely have come from Sinai, where Egypt is currently conducting counter-terror operations to root out terror groups.

Like all Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories, Kiryat Arba is considered illegal under international law, though Israeli disputes this.[7] The international community considers Israeli settlements to violate the Fourth Geneva Convention's prohibition on the transfer of an occupying power's civilian population into occupied territory.[8] Israel disputes that the Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the Palestinian territories as they had not been legally held by a sovereign prior to Israel taking control of them. This view has been rejected as without basis in international law by the International Court of Justice and the International Committee of the Red Cross.[9]"
