Every Jewish Face is a Pleasure! A Snippet of Rav Avigdor Miller on Parshat Balak (Plus a link to Parshat Pinchus: A Career of Seeing Hashem)

19/7/2019

3 Comments

 
Shockingly, I had an outside project to complete this week, so blogging was sporadic and I didn't get around to highlighting everything I love about Rav Miller's parshat hashavua from Toras Avigdor.

So I'll leave you with this from Parshat Balak: Beloved Multitudes of Israel:
FAT JOLLY JEWS ARE A PLEASURE!
****
Look at a Jewish face as it passes by - every single one is a pleasure.

It’s a pleasure to have skinny serious Jews – it’s very important to have them.

And fat jolly Jews – it’s a pleasure to have them too.

Business-like Jews, they’re also pleasure.

Each one is a pleasure – no question about it, and that’s why Hashem is counting us. 

So don't forget to check out:
  • Parshat Balak 1: Speaking the Praises  
  • Parshas Balak 2: Beloved Multitudes of Yisroel
  • ​Parshat Pinchus: A Career of Seeing Hashem
Picture
Right! So let's make sure we say "Modeh Ani" with a happy heart.

Evelyn Gordon [a journalist living in Israel] said:

“Palestinians’ rights matter when targeted by Israel,
but not when targeted by the Palestinian Authority.

And Israeli rights never matter, except when violated by Israel.”

Lord Ian Livingston of England said:

“Whilst the Israeli Defense Forces are not
perfect, the obsession of focusing on them
despite being the most moral and professional
army in the Middle East is very strange.”

Mr. Sean Savage said:

“...the ADL has uncovered virulently
anti-Semitic passages in Qatari state textbooks.

These books claim that:

Jewish people are treacherous,
seek to conquer the world and follow
a perverted, invalid religion.

The books also contained numerous
examples of anti-Christian bigotry,
as well as incitement against the West.”

Qatar’s government also funds the
International Union of Muslim Scholars,
whose Secretary-General openly denies
the Holocaust, according to the
Middle East Media Research Institute.”

Alexander H. Joffe [a Middle East Historian] said:

“Increasingly, discrimination against Jews
[especially in the academic world, as a result
of the BDS movement] is regarded as legitimate
whether or not there is any connection to Israel.”

Alexander H. Joffe [a Middle East Historian] said:

Similarly, neo-Nazis in Germany have begun using
the phrase “Israel is our misfortune,” a sentiment
that converges with the German [Leftist] Green Party’s
explicit support for BDS. The crossover between
the two streams was seen recently when a founder
of the Green Party spoke at a neo-Nazi event.

Mr. Yaakov Lappin [a military and
strategic affairs correspondent] said:

“An Iranian network of terrorist cells is spread
out around the world, ready for activation at any time….”
.................................................

“The Iranians have built up a wide-reaching network of radical surrogates that extends beyond the Middle East. Members of this network range from hierarchical terror armies like Hezbollah, armed with massive arsenals of projectiles, to sleeper terrorist cells active in Europe, North America, and Latin America.”
.................................................

“This would explain the discovery and recent announcement of a Hezbollah bomb factory in London. It appears highly likely that the bombs were intended for Hezbollah cells intent on attacking Israeli targets in Britain.”
.................................................
“Past incidents have seen [Iran-backed] Hezbollah operatives scope out Israeli targets in countries as far away as Peru.”
