Path to Temple
Runs Through Shushan |
|
 The
story of Purim as related in Megillat Esther is the bridge between the
destruction of the First Temple and the building of the Second Temple.
Interestingly, the eastern gate to the Temple Mount is called the
Shushan Gate, as if to symbolize that the path to the future Temple
goes through Shushan.
The feast of Ahashverosh in Shushan was a low point in Jewish history.
The Jews of Ahashverosh's kingdom were so deep in exile mentality that
they actually reveled and feasted at the Persian mega-party despite
the fact that the (kosher) food was served on the holy Temple vessels.
But this low point was actually the first hint of future salvation.
The marriage of Esther to Ahashverosh led to the birth of Darius, who
would eventually allow the reconstruction of the Second Temple to be
completed.
The story of Purim highlights the eternity of the Nation of Israel.
Currently, as in many eras of Jewish history, we are experiencing a
period of darkness and despair. But many bright lights shine through
the heavy shadows of our present reality. True, many people have still
not broken free of the Oslo mentality. Too many people still subjugate
themselves to the modern-day Ahashveroshes, who brought the Oslo
disaster upon us. Yes, these Ahashveroshes still feel comfortable
visiting the yeshiva where young boys were murdered with weapons that
they, themselves, gave the murderer. But the nation of Israel already
understands that the Oslo criminals will not save us.
Our job at this time is to make people aware of the alternative and to
prepare ourselves to lead. If we keep our heads on our shoulders and
persevere, we will have the support and the tools to step in when the
time is ripe. The skeptics among us received a wake up call last week
from none other than the British Home Office. The British ban on my
entry to England clearly showcased the fact that Manhigut Yehudit is
the only factor in Israeli politics that threatens the British
anti-Israel policies. No other politician or force in the National
Camp bothers them. No ministers, no Knesset members, not even the
people at the outposts. The only factor they see as counterproductive
to their pro-Arab machinations is Manhigut Yehudit. Which leads us to
the conclusion that we are obviously doing something very right!
We must persevere, build our support base, reach out and register more
and more people for the Likud. Then, when G-d deems fit, we will be
poised to take the leadership reigns and to bring the Jewish Nation
back from Shushan to Jerusalem - to itself, its G-d and its Jewish
destiny.
Happy Purim,
Moshe Feiglin

| Likud
Salute to Merkaz Harav Heroes |
 When
a Jew is killed in a car accident, it hurts. If he is killed in war, it
hurts even more and touches the entire nation. But if he is murdered simply
because he is a Jew, the pain is the greatest of all, because the insult to
the honor of the nation of Israel adds its own, unbearable dimension to the
personal and communal pain. The massacre in the Merkaz Harav Kook yeshiva is
a horrible desecration of G-d's Name.
The two heroes who killed the terrorist, Rabbi Yitzchak Dadon and David
Shapiro, made the desecration of G-d's Name slightly less horrific when they
killed the murderer. For Rabbi Dadon, killing the terrorist was not enough.
Every reporter with a microphone wanted to interview the hero of the latest
terror attack. But Rabbi Dadon insisted on repeating that the pure,
righteous yeshiva students were murdered because of the evil stupidity of
those Israeli politicians who have brought death into our homes. True to
form, the Ahashverosh media deleted Dadon from the story. Thus the
importance of the Likud initiative to honor him.
The salute to Rabbi Dadon and David Shapiro took place at the Renaissance
hotel in Jerusalem this Tuesday evening. Rabbi Dadon humbly took the stage
at the salute and described the chain of events on that horrible night to
the hundreds sitting in the audience. It was obvious from his speech that he
was trying to divert attention from his pivotal role in eliminating the
murderer.
In his speech, Rabbi Dadon compared the current situation in Israel to the
Purim story. He pointed out that Ahashverosh also wanted peace and quiet. He
thought that by appeasing Haman, he would bring peace and security to his
kingdom. But Haman was not a partner. He was a murderer, who sowed death and
destruction wherever he went. Rabbi Dadon's modestly spoken words could not
hide his inner courage and proud, Jewish strength. It is no surprise that he
was brave enough to assault the terrorist. With G-d's help, we will see more
of him as a leader of the nation.
MK Moshe Kachalon and former MK Gilah Gamliel also attended the salute.
Kachalon called on Shas to be responsible and to topple the Olmert
government before Olmert divides Jerusalem.
The certificate of honor was symbolically presented to Rabbi Dadon by Mr.
Eli Sheetrit, of the Likud Tegar fellowship, comprised of the fighters of
the Etzel and Lechi undergrounds. Tens of Tegar members attended the salute,
emphasizing the fact that Rabbi Dadon has continued the battle for the
Jewish State where they left off.
Keynote Speaker Moshe Feiglin said that the murder of Jews is not an
irreversible fact of life. It is fostered by the people who give the
murderers weapons. These people are responsible for the murders and for the
terrible desecration of G-d's Name. "Olmert wants us to get used to the
situation, as he suggested in Ashkelon" Feiglin said. "But we declare here
and now that we will NOT get used to it! We will continue our struggle to
establish Jewish leadership that cares about Jewish blood - leadership that
strikes all those who try to harm the Jewish People."Manhigut

majority revolution. Now is the time to support Manhigut Yehudit.

Pesach in Cancun, Greece or Las Vegas?: By Shmuel Sackett |
|
Adar II, 5768
March, ‘08
 I
just finished reading a Jewish newspaper that a friend sent me from the
States and I am totally confused!!! This paper had over 20 pages of ads from
various Pesach programs and I can't make up my mind. Please read my dilemma
and if you can help me, email me your advice at
Shmuel@jewishisrael.org. I would greatly appreciate it.
My first choice was actually one of the many hotels in Florida. My favorite
one advertises a "Hawaiian Luau Night". What a great Pesach experience -
matzah, marror and a good old-fashioned Hawaiian Luau. I was about to make
my reservation but noticed that the ad did not say "non-gebrokts". Hey, Luau
or no Luau, I insist on non-gebrokts only! What do you think I am? Some kind
of modern Jew???
The next ad I liked was about Pesach in Greece. The ad boasted, "an
enlisting atmosphere of Torah". Think about that. A few months ago we
celebrated Chanukah when the Greeks did not allow Jews to study Torah and
now Jews are traveling on Pesach to Greece to have "an enlisting atmosphere
of Torah". Boy, have times changed!
My wife refused to go to Greece. Why couldn't I marry a true Eyshet Chayil?
So, I had to look further. The next ad was for a beautiful hotel in Cancun.
WOW!!! Pesach in the Caribbean!! How holy is that???!!! To make things
really exciting, the ad said the following; "Chassidishe and Bais Yosef
Shechita". I have to admit that I have no idea what that means but it sounds
very "machmir" and we all know that machmir is good. Can you imagine being
machmir in Cancun? As my kids would say: COOOOOL!!
Well, we found out that it's too hot in Cancun so we kept looking. Let's
see; there was Pesach in Los Cabos that said "Glatt Kosher and Scuba Diving"
(but is the "Glatt" in Los Cabos also Bais Yosef?), Pesach in Italy on the
Italian Riviera, Pesach in Las Vegas that boasts a "World championship golf
course, 18,000 square ft European Spa and a Fully stocked Bais Medrash" (but
how far is the Bais Medrash from the European Spa? I hate walking on Pesach)
and Pesach in Disney with "100% hand Shmurah matzah, Daf Yomi and totally
non-gebrokts" (does Mickey know that too??).
I'm telling you this is hurting my Shalom Bayis! I want Greece but my wife
absolutely refuses. She wants Los Cabos. (Where is that any way???). Two of
my kids want Disney while my frum son insists on Chassidishe shechita which
would leave us only with Cancun!
My daughter tells me that the Rabbi of the shul we used to dovin in is the
Scholar-in-Residence in Spain where the ad says "No Kitnios". But when I
demanded to know how fully stocked their Bais Medrash was she could not
answer me!!! I'm telling you - kids today just don't get it!
So what do I do? I called my Rabbi back in New York and asked him what he
felt. He said that he's going to Disney and if I book through him I can save
10%. Any suggestions?

Israel's "Aid" to Jonathan Pollard |
|
 Moshe
Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett plan to once again visit Jonathan Pollard on
their upcoming trip to the US. This will be their fourth visit with the man
who sacrificed his life to save the Jewish People and the State of Israel.
Unfortunately, Israel continues to betray Pollard. Now the State actually
claims that it has been giving aid to Pollard and his family. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. The State of Israel has never given a shekel to
Pollard. The following are excerpts from Pollard's attorney, Nitzana Darshan
Leitner's letter to the State in which she attempts to bring the lies to the
surface.
Monetary Aid
I request a clear and factual response to my query regarding your claims to
have afforded my client monetary aid. In your previous reply, this question
remained unanswered and seemed to have been deliberately blurred. I repeat
my question: Have my client or his wife ever received monetary aid from the
government of Israel? If your answer is negative, I request that you
authorize in writing that during the 23 years that my client has been
imprisoned in the US, neither he nor his wife have received any monetary aid
from the government of Israel.
If your reply is positive, please clarify the following in a detailed and
specific manner:
A. On what dates did my client or his wife receive monetary aid from the
Israeli government?
B. What is the position and the title of the person or body that supply the
above aid?
C. Do you have a written confirmation of the aforementioned aid and its
receipt by my client and/or his wife?
D. To what financial institution was the monetary aid transferred?
E. If you cannot supply written documentation of this aid, I request a clear
explanation as to how the government of Israel has managed to transfer
monetary aid to my client, a prisoner in an American penitentiary.
Aid to Pollard Associates
Your offices have claimed that over the years, the Israeli government has
"acted to aid Jonathan Pollard and his associates." I request that you
clearly and specifically clarify the following:
A. According to what criteria did the government of Israel determine who is
considered an "associate" eligible for aid?
B. What are the names and the positions of my client's "associates" who
"received" the aforementioned aid and what is their association with my
client?
C. What specific aid did my client's associates receive?
D. When and where did my client's associates receive the aid?
E. Please attach written documentation of the aforementioned aid.
Attorney Leitner's letter includes many more embarrassing questions for the
government. Hopefully, her determined and thorough work will bring the sad
truth to light.
