Barzel Family Adventure

Please visit the Adventures in the Holy Land blog for a new exciting adventures with the Barzel family.

This story is called, "The Whole You"

Summary: Yaakov and Gideon learn that one must be whole and content to ward away temptors.

Bond --Not James Bond

To all the goodly people of the world who appreciate conservative values, who want good for their children, who can think critically and who are able bodied, Let's BOND!

Now I would like to take this opportunity to weed out the fluffy, misty eyed, we-love-the world, "there is no bad here, only withering flowers" type. These type of people, bless their hearts, are so tired of the evil in the world, that they just mentally place themselves in the redemption already -as if, that will erase the current situation we are in.

Did you know that European nations are offering aid to African nations only on the condition that they accept gay marriage?

There is probably more going on that is swept under the rug. But truth must prevail and the good must be victorious.

War in Israel

Yes. as you know we are in war with Hamas in the Gaza area.

so much to say, but for the sake of the military, its best not to reveal too much now.

Pray for us -those who care.

Thank you.

Noahide Nation: Why is This Nation Different from all the Other Nations?

On Passover we do many things different. So much so that there is the requisite child question which is: "Why is this night different from all the other nights?"  Its even a song.

A great "YES!" moment is when a child unprompted, sees that the Passover night is different, i.e. we eat matzot instead of bread, we wash ahead of time, etc., they ask of their own accord, "why are we doing things different this night from the other nights?"  Yes!!

Anyway, so who are the Noahides? Those are the many people who choose to live at the very least according to the seven laws of Noah.

Here are the seven laws:

1. Prohibition of Idolatry
2. Prohibition of Murder
3. Prohibition of Theft
4. Prohibition of Sexual Immorality
5. Prohibition of Blasphemy
6. Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive
7. Establishment of courts of law

(courtesy of wikipedia)

 These laws are gathered and compiled from the "Christian Old Testament"  or really from the Tannakh. I say at the very least because really they can take on other mitzvot from the Torah.

So, how is this nation different from all the other nations?

Well first of all, they are the only non-Jewish group that goes according to the Torah. That right there eliminates many other nations. But Islam did take some of its teachings from the Jewish faith, so would that be right up there with Islam?

The way --derech eretz of a Noahide would probably be most comparable to that of the Jews.  Sharia -the word for "the Path" in Islam is almost antithetical to Judaism.   With the Noahides learning and undersrtanding derech eretz, they are most apt to understand the spirit of the Torah more than any other non-(practicing) Jewish groups.

So, there you have it!

Another interesting thing about Noahides, is that where ever they are, whatever actual land space that they are in, there they create part of the Noahide global community.  Imagine if they traded together, visited one another? build with each other and held hands across the globe, what a wonderful world it would be!

Breaking news...

Israel  Defense Force struck and killed Hamas military head via air.

This causing retaliation from Hamas, firing yet more missiles into Israel, Beer Sheva, one aimed at Dimona. 

There is unconfirmed report that Syria is attempting something in northern Israel -in the Golan. This is from ARabic media so...
