Chanufa /Flattery

Flattery is a "despicable trait". There are words and words in the Jewish world decrying this trait.

But are we doing chanufa to Edom (America, Britain, Nato, UN, all those) by tooting what democracy we are? By boasting how gays are allowed to have their parades here?

I think If Jewish people -religious Jewish people were honest, they would say that the goal is to hopefully have Moshiach ruling--which would be more of a kingship.  And I doubt gay parades to the Holy Temple would be permitted.  (I doubt gays would be mistreated (hung or stoned as in Arab countires). But sometimes I wonder if we are trying too hard to gain the favor of Edom -which causes us to lose our own awareness of our own strength....?

Then again, its not the religious who are in power.  Most of the politicians are seculars who would not want any sort of moshiach coming and ruining their game. Very interesting things...

King or Dictator??

Occupy Wall street!! All the protesters are tired of the babylon system that exists in their place and they are crying for socialism rather than capitalism. Over in the socialists countries, the people there were also tired of the restraints there and cried out for capitalism and democracy. Everyone wants the other thing. Everyone wants easy life, things going well, etc. and they will and must search for it.

The Jewish people -many of us live in Israel. If not Israel, than the USA. both countries do not have dictators. USA has a type of capitalist w/a socialist lean??? where as Israel has socialist with a capitalist lean? lol. Democracy. You hear promoters say, Israel had the only functioning democracy in the middle east.

But truly, we are supposed to await Moshiach to come a rule. Moshiach is not going to have a parlement I don't think. He's going to be king. At least the difference between a king and a dictator is that the KIng is annointed whereas the dictator takes his place by force... but neither are democracies.

So what does that say? How can we accept the concept of Moshiach if we've been trained to appreciate democracy and hate dictators and those types of rules?

I don't have an answer, just posing the question.

Circassians in Israel

There is a small group of people called Circassians. They are originally from Europe and have endured alot of battles from different countries. Part of their people also live in Jordan. They have a nice tourist attraction area for those who want to come and learn about their history.




To visit this group, call your local tourist agent!

Asher Meza : Ahavas Yisrael /Loving your fellow Jew

This makes me think of long ago in the Black community people complained about the ...what was it called... the ABC crew? the crew that decides who's in and who's out in the Black community.

Well, other communities suffer the same problem just in a different form.
