Is There a Limit to Tolerance?
By Rabbi Aharon Loschak; based on based on Torah Ohr of the Alter Rebbe, Lech Lecha 12a.
|
Here’s a controversial line I read the other day:
“We cannot force another country to change its values and customs so they better reflect our own. But we don't have to accept them, either. Some customs and values are not worthy of our tolerance.”
Do you agree or disagree?

In the early 2000's, Gadi Rimon, an Israeli Defense Force soldier stationed outside of Ramallah, was shot by an Arab terrorist. It happened very early in the morning, and no one else was awake to hear it. Gadi passed out and was bleeding steadily, his life heading toward a silent end.

"You Have Not Awaited My Kingdom?!"
|
The Midrash tells us that G‑d complained to the Jewish people, “You have loved my Torah and not awaited my Kingdom?!” The foundation of everything is the belief in Moshiach. We are obligated to wait, yearn and beseech, “When will You reign in Zion?!” |
Sheperd Pie
By Levana Kirschenbaum | Dec. 7 '10
|
This is one of my favorite comfort foods, and a big Sephardi Favorite that appears at every holiday table. It goes by several aliases, all very closely related. Shepherd pie in English. Hachis Parmentier in English. Pastella in Arabic, probably Spanish-derived. I love to make it with bison, tomorrow’s meat I hope, even predict! If you find it by all means use it. Otherwise ground beef or poultry will work perfectly for this shepherd pie, even ground fish.

"Everyone must regard himself and the world as evenly poised between good and guilt...If he performed a good deed, he has shifted the balance of his fate, and that of the entire world to good, and has brought deliverance and salvation upon himself and upon them all."
