(Briefly, there are three parts -really five- to the souls according to Judaism. There's the soul -the spiritual part that is in charge of keeping the body taken care of. That part knows that the body wants food, sleep and relations. So, it pushes for that. Then there is the spirit -it sort of works with the emotions and inspirations, etc of a person. Then comes the Neshama --that part is what makes us feel like saving the world, or at least saving the whales. That is also the part that encourages us to look for God -because that part is still connected to Him. (the other two parts is a- the amount of potential a person has, how much breath of God someone received and b- the very thought of the person is God's "mind" so to speak)).
If the good people of this world is not active, evil will prevail. Its not enough to love good..we must ..
Doing good is very nice. But actively hating the evil, to the point of eliminating it or ruining it or at least bringing it to justice is also vital.
And thank God that we can. And thank God that we are doing just that!
Greedy corporations are rushing to produce vegetables and other foods that are chemically and synthetically made. They are not too concerned with the side effects and really don't care what happens to the consumer. But Jeffrey Smith has picked up his sword and is challenging you to fight this too.
Better watch out Mr. Monsato!(soy, corn, sugar beets, cotton seed oil, canola oil, hawaiian papaya, zucchini, crooknecked squash makers)
The Monsato company is a bioengineering company that creates genetically modified seeds and other foods for general consumption. Note: greed is going after the "seeds" of the world now. This is crucial. This means they have reached yet a new level -unfettered by the "good" slumbering people of the world. Seed is one of the basic parts of life. Luckily for us, its not the very beginning -sh! they probably don't know that. The very beginning begins with the thought, knowledge.
On another front, amongst the many natural disasters occurring in our world, the biggest and most recent happened in Japan. First an earthquake. Then a tsunami, and now there is the constant threat of their nuclear plant to send out radiation. Here is a simple explanation of what's going on with the nuclear reactor.
Many Jews (and Christians) smirked at what happened thinking they "had it coming" because of their not siding with the Jewish people and encouraging a freeze on construction in Jerusalem (that announcement was made the same day of their earthquake).
And quite honestly, almost every country that came out against the Jews, had some form of disaster upon them: Australia and Brazil come to mind. Regardless of what is going on, we must remember -Jews, I mean- that we are a microcosm of the world (if you believe that). Which means, sitting back and laughing or smirking at other's disaster is like laughing at seeing our own eminent hurt from a distant. We must always have compassion for the world and continue to want good for it, to feel its pain even if it doesn't feel ours. Was Ithamar a wake up call? My heart goes out to the Fogel family.
On another front, all the various Arab countries are fighting for their rights to self govern. America thinks their fighting for American rights. okay...
Quaddafi's Libya is being bombed by American and other forces. So they picked a side in the civil war there.
(Well, anyway, Quaddafi's Jewish side of the family just had a baby girl. Mazal Tov! His mother was a Jewish lady who was kidnapped by Bedouins long long ago. Parts of his Jewish family live around where I am)
On a lighter note, Ava DuVernay has founded a new Black movies distribution channel! Good news for all the folks who are tired of the same narrative that the big bucks thinks should be pushed down our throats. Gina, at What About Our Daughters writes about that. It all seemed so simple, why didn't anyone think of that before? It seems, according to her website, AFFRM.com, that she made a coalition with various organizations that have film festivals and they all agreed to distribute two films per year.
And, finally, on this wonderful day of Purim, we have a "queen esther" of sorts visiting Israel right now! The one and only, Sarah Palin. Okay, on Purim people like to play tricks - its a little bit like Halloween. So is this a Purim trick? Is she beneficial for us or not? Doesn't matter, we have something else to drink to now! L'Chaim!! lol.
Happy Purim, Everyone!!!
If the good people of this world is not active, evil will prevail. Its not enough to love good..we must ..
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate;(Amos 5:15)
Doing good is very nice. But actively hating the evil, to the point of eliminating it or ruining it or at least bringing it to justice is also vital.
And thank God that we can. And thank God that we are doing just that!
" it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph" (Amos 5:16)And who would be the remnant of Joseph? What was Joseph all about? He was the one who was tested by Potiphar's wife, He was the one who protected his "seed" and did not succumb to the lusts of the world.
