On Yom Kippur, Iran's Achmedinejad once again repeated his threat to annihilate Israel. Predictably, less than a handful of nations voiced other than perfunctory luke-warm objections. As the Gemara teaches us, we have no one to depend on but our Father in Heaven.
Most suitably, this week's Torah portion - Haazinu - warns that our only chance of survival in the Land of Israel is by clinging to our roots.
The Sycamore tree is a living example of what the Torah's talking about; join me for a 5-minute boost of emuna...
Have a wonderful Shabbat and joyous New Year 5773!
Amen!
A wonderful New Year to the people of Israel!
May Moshiach come soon! May the land of Israel remain blessed continually!
Blessings and love always,
