In Parshas Devarim, Moshe Rabbeinu Warns about the Violent Protests by Bnei-Teirah

 

In Parshas Devarim, in the final days of his life, Moshe Rabbeinu gathers Klal Yisrael and begins to recount their journey — not merely as history, but as mussar, as guidance for the future. When he revisits the tragic episode of the Meraglim, he reminds them of the moment it all began:

וַתִּקְרְב֣וּן אֵלַי֮ כֻּלְּכֶם֒ וַתֹּאמְר֗וּ נִשְׁלְחָ֤ה אֲנָשִׁים֙ לְפָנֵ֔ינוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ־לָ֖נוּ אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ

"All of you then approached me and said " Send men ahead of us to explore the land."

Moshe emphasizes a single word: “kulchem” — all of you. Rashi, quoting the Sifri, reveals something remarkable. 

This word is not a detail — it is a diagnosis. It tells us everything about the spiritual state of the people at that moment.

ותקרבון אלי כלכם. בְּעִרְבּוּבְיָא; וּלְהַלָּן הוּא אוֹמֵר (דברים ה') "וַתִּקְרְבוּן אֵלַי כָּל רָאשֵׁי שִׁבְטֵיכֶם וְזִקְנֵיכֶם וַתֹּאמְרוּ הֵן הֶרְאָנוּ וְגוֹ'", אוֹתָהּ קְרִיבָה הָיְתָה הוֹגֶנֶת – יְלָדִים מְכַבְּדִים אֶת הַזְּקֵנִים וּשְׁלָחוּם לִפְנֵיהֶם, וּזְקֵנִים מְכַבְּדִים אֶת הָרָאשִׁים לָלֶכֶת לִפְנֵיהֶם, אֲבָל כָּאן "וַתִּקְרְבוּן אֵלַי כֻּלְּכֶם" בְּעִרְבּוּבְיָא – יְלָדִים דּוֹחֲפִין אֶת הַזְּקֵנִים, וּזְקֵנִים דּוֹחֲפִין אֶת הָרָאשִׁים (ספרי):

“In confusion; but later it says (Deuteronomy 5): ‘And you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders, and you said: Behold, the Lord has shown us…’ —  

that approach was proper: the children honored the elders and sent them forward, and the elders honored the leaders by letting them go before them. But here (Deuteronomy 1): ‘And you all approached me’ — in confusion: the children pushed the elders, and the elders pushed the leaders.” (Sifrei)

There are gatherings that are leshem Shamayim — filled with respect, order, and purpose. Children honor elders, elders honor leaders, and each person knows their place. Such gatherings create clarity, unity, and blessing.

But then there are gatherings of “b’irbuvya” — confusion, pushing, noise, ego. Children shove elders aside, elders push past leaders, and everyone rushes forward without thought or humility. Nothing good can emerge from such chaos.

Moshe is telling them: The failure of the Meraglim didn’t begin with the spies. It began with you — with the way you approached the conversation. A gathering without kavod, without patience, without humility, cannot produce a holy decision.

The Sifri is teaching us a timeless truth: The tone of a gathering determines the destiny of its outcome. When we come together with respect and purpose, we merit siyata d’Shmaya. When we come together in chaos, even the best ideas collapse.

Moshe’s message to the generation entering Eretz Yisrael is Moshe’s message to us: If we want our decisions, our communities, and our future to be blessed — we must begin with kulchem in the right way: united, respectful, and leshem Shamayim.

Vance Failed Miserably in Iran Talks So he Naturally Blames the Jews!

Vance is trying to shift the blame for his failed negotiations onto others, making one false claim after another simply to avoid admitting that the talks with the Islamic Republic failed because of his own naïveté and his lack of understanding of how the ayatollahs’ regime operates.

Because of his misplaced optimism toward the ayatollahs,  Vance gave this terrorist regime a major opportunity to humiliate the United States on the world stage.

Vance also appears to have little understanding of the Iranian people. He seems to view Iranians—who are victims of the regime and are fighting for freedom and democracy—as a threat, while treating the ayatollahs’ regime as a trustworthy negotiating partner.

Vance is a loser in every sense of the word. He fails miserably in talks the Islamic regime (as expected) and instead of owning his failure, he claims that ISRAEL pays to activate a smear campaign against him. 😂

Thank G-d for those hilltop youth

 

by Rochel Sylvetsky

Remember those math lessons years ago about the X-axis (north-south) and Y-axis (east-west) that are perpendicular to one another but intersect at the “origin" - called point (0,0)?

 Well, on a recent day’s trip to three Israeli geographic start-ups, more commonly known as hilltop communities, each hilltop I reached seemed point (0,0) of just such a coordinate system, and from it I looked at what was to the north, south, east and west.

These were hilltops in Gush Etzion, the historic and thriving Etzion Bloc south of Jerusalem. The hiilltops are part of Area C in Judea and Samaria, under complete Israeli governance according to the Oslo Accords, are located about 15-45 minutes south from the more familiar city of Efrata and not far from the city of the Patriarchs, Hevron.

What was the catalyst for the proliferation of these hilltop communities, farms and sheep ranches in Judea and Samaria - a count of a whopping 360 outposts and agricultural farmsas of mid-2026? And what made Israel’s current government, at the initiative of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, whose other position is additional minister within the Ministry of Defense for civil issues, encourage them (except for when it doesn't, see below)?

It began in 2009, when Salaam Fayyad, then Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, told the NY Times:

Popular Singer Eyal Golan takes upon himself to observe Shabbat

 Singer Eyal Golan said that after a Torah class held at his home, he took upon himself not to travel on Shabbat.

According to Golan, the decision was made for the recovery of Rabbi Dov Kook, who is hospitalized at Poriya Hospital in Tiberias following an acute respiratory complication.

Golan called on the public to also take upon themselves a positive commitment for this purpose.

Golan said that his daughter Aline initiated the Torah lesson at their home. He thanked her and said: “This week, my righteous daughter Aline hosted a Torah class here in my home. At the end of the class, I went outside and took upon myself that I would not travel on this Shabbat."

Golan appealed to the public to join the initiative, saying: “For the recovery of Rabbi Kook, I ask each and every one of you: take something upon yourselves, this Shabbat, for the recovery of Rabbi Kook. I took upon myself not to travel."

He concluded his remarks by saying: “Thank you to my righteous daughter Aline, who gave me this merit. Thank you."

The Satmar Endorsed Mayor Mamzarani looking to arrest Netanyhau

The Mamzarani was saying this while running for Mayor but that didn't stop Satmar from officially endorsing him! 

 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Saturday called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and said he is looking into arresting him during an upcoming visit.

In an interview with The New York Times, published Saturday, Mamdani said, "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court."

Mamdani also said that he is in "active conversation" with NYC's legal officials on whether he may arrest a foreign leader, adding, "Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end."

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said: "Mamdani is failing to govern New York. Instead of focusing on his responsibilities as mayor and confronting the rising wave of antisemitism in his city, he has chosen to incite hostility and generate headlines by attacking the State of Israel."

"It will not change a thing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride, and stand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens.

"And if anyone should be arrested, it is NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

Israeli Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis responded to Mamdani's statements, saying, "The mayor of New York City has no authority to order the arrest of the Prime Minister of Israel. Instead of dealing with matters over which he has no authority, he should start running New York City and only New York City."

This is not the first time Mamdani has made such a statement: In October 2025, before Mamdani was elected, he promised to "exhaust every legal option" to ensure Netanyahu is arrested.

Mamdani has been vehemently anti-Israel for many years. He criticized Israel immediately after the October 7 massacre committed by the Hamas terrorist organization and has claimed that Israel's retaliation against Hamas was "genocide." He has also refused to call for the disarmament of Hamas and to denounce the phrase "globalize the Intifada," a call for violence and murder against civilians, particularly Jews.

Zera Shimshon Parshat Devarim

 

The Yenuka made up his very own Torah, in His Torah Hashem does not Forgive even if someone did Teshuva

 

1. Direct statements that Hashem forgives 

Isaiah 55:7

“Let the wicked abandon his way… and let him return to Hashem, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” This is one of the clearest verses in all of Tanach: return → mercy → forgiveness.

Ezekiel 18:21–22

“If the wicked person turns from all his sins… he shall surely live… none of the transgressions he committed shall be remembered.” Teshuvah erases the past. Hashem does not remember the sins once one repents.

Ezekiel 33:11

“I do not desire the death of the wicked, but that he turn from his way and live.” Hashem’s will is not punishment, but repentance and life.

Joel 2:12–13

“Return to Me with all your heart… for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness.” Teshuvah is met with grace, mercy, and kindness.

⭐ 2. Hashem accepts repentance even after sin

Jonah 3:10

The people of Nineveh repent, and:

“God saw their deeds… and God relented from the evil He had spoken.” A national example of teshuvah → forgiveness.

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people… humble themselves, pray, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear… forgive their sin, and heal their land.” A covenantal promise: repentance brings forgiveness and restoration.

Jeremiah 3:22

“Return, O wayward children; I will heal your backsliding.” Hashem actively heals the sinner who returns.

⭐ 3. Hashem forgives even severe sins

Psalm 32:5

“I said: I will confess my transgressions to Hashem — and You forgave the guilt of my sin.” David describes personal teshuvah and immediate forgiveness.

Psalm 51 (after the sin with Bat‑Sheva)

David’s entire prayer is about repentance, and Hashem accepts it. Key line:

“A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

Micah 7:18–19

“Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity… He will again have compassion… He will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” A poetic, powerful declaration of Hashem’s complete forgiveness.

⭐ 4. Hashem’s nature is to forgive

Exodus 34:6–7 — The 13 Attributes of Mercy

“Hashem… compassionate and gracious… forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin.” This is the foundational Torah statement that Hashem’s essence includes forgiveness.

Nehemiah 9:17

“But You are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful.” A historical reflection on Hashem’s constant forgiveness.

⭐ 5. Hashem accepts repentance even after punishment

Hosea 14:2–5

“Return, O Israel… Take words with you and return… I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely.” Teshuvah leads to healing and renewed love.

Modi'in Illit Chardeim Surrounded car of the Rosh Yeshiva R' Eliyahu Feivelson Screamed "Rotzeach " "Rasha Me"rusha" and Beat Him!

 

This incident of Bnei-Teirah beating up other Bnei-Teirah is no surprise to DIN readers, we have already talked about Charedim hating each other's guts, especially if one of them finally sees the light and starts expressing it. Those Charedie leaders who are appalled at the behavior of these bochrim have only to blame but themselves, the bochrim knew the views of Rav Hagoen Feivelson shlita from their RY, and the bochrim heard the hate from their RYs very own mouths! Charedie Gedoilim that encouraged riots and protests against the medina didn't realize that this will come back bite them!

 Dozens of rioters surrounded the car of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petachei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, cursed him with shouts of "murderer of Neshamois" and beat him. In the absence of a police presence, local residents were forced to extract the rabbi from the menacing crowd

עמודיעין עילית: עשרות פורעים הקיפו את רכבו של ראש ישיבת 'פתחי עולם' הגאון רבי אליהו פייבלזון, גידפו אותו בצעקות "רוצח נשמות" והכו אותו. בהיעדר נוכחות משטרתית, תושבים מקומיים נאלצו לחלץ את הרב בשיניים מתוך ההמון

A routine night on Avnei Nezer Street in Modi'in Illit turned into an arena of severe violence last night (Tuesday), when the shiur of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petchei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, was interrupted with unprecedented violence. The incident, which began as a peaceful protest, developed within minutes into a mass riot that included incitement and physical violence.

According to testimonies, dozens of young bochrim, apparently from yeshiva centers, gathered around the house where Rabbi Feivelsohn was staying. At the end of the shiur, when the rabbi tried to get out of his car, about 20 of the rioters pounced on him and surrounded the car.

The bochrim started shouting insults, blocked the lane and even damaged the car. The incident deteriorated rapidly when some of the bochrim turned to actual physical violence - Rabbi Feivelson was pushed and beaten on the streets of the city.

Amazingly, while the commotion was at its peak, the police were late arriving at the scene. OSome of the residents of the street, who watched the horror unfold in front of their eyes, decided to take the initiative – they forcibly evacuated the rioting bochrim from the road and helped the vehicle to escape the dangerous siege.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that Rabbi Feivelson has encountered violence from Yeshiva Bochrim . The Rosh Yeshiva, known for its unique positions on issues of faith and outlook, and for its in-depth interpretation of the Rambam's words, has been at the center of public controversy in recent years.

In the past, he had already been subjected to severe threats and harassment, including real threats to his life.

As of now, there has not been an official response from the police or the Modi'in Illit municipality regarding the incident. Rabbi Feivelson did not provide an official response, but people close to him said that he continues his educational activities with dedication despite the threats.

People disgusted with Vance's "Blaming the Jews" for Iran war!

 

⭕️I cannot overstate the sheer disgust I feel for Vance right now. He desperately wants to deflect from the disastrous MOUs that is entirely his responsibility, so what does he do? He screams, “Blame the Jews!” He’s incapable of facing the reality that Iran broke the deal, not… https://t.co/Dpo1HN2NQS

Poll: Smotrich siphoning votes from Shas

 

Living in a Chareidie neighborhood in Beit Shemesh, I saw this coming; practically all the people I talk to would never again vote for Shas or Degel, in the last election Beit Shemesh overwhelmingly voted for Ben Gvir. Reasonable frum serious Jews are fed up with Charedie clueless disconnected Teirah leadership! They refuse to live under Taliban supervision. 

A Channel 13 News poll published on Wednesday evening indicates that if elections were held today, Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, would win 22 seats, remaining the largest party in the Knesset.

The "Yashar!" party led by Gadi Eisenkot receives 21 seats - a two-seat drop compared to the previous poll. Naftali Bennett’s "Together" party secures 15 seats, The Democrats led by Yair Golan earn 11, and Yisrael Beytenu under Avigdor Liberman takes 10.

Further down the list are United Torah Judaism with 8 seats, while Shas and Otzma Yehudit receive 7 seats each. Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionist party climbs to 6 seats.

Hadash-Ta'al gets 5 seats, Ra'am holds 4, and the joint slate of reservists led by Yoaz Hendel and Chili Tropper crosses the electoral threshold for the first time with 4 seats. Balad and Benny Gantz's Blue and White fail to clear the threshold.

According to the poll, the opposition bloc - which includes the Hendel-Tropper slate - reaches 61 seats, while the coalition bloc led by Netanyahu stands at just 50 seats.

Trump getting influenced by Arab Leaders who keep telling him that Netanyahu Is the Obstacle to Peace

 

For this reason alone its important that Netanyahu get elected again! 

Israeli outlet Kan News reported Wednesday that an Arab diplomat with knowledge of the matter told the news channel that Arab leaders in recent conversations with President Donald Trump have said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

The diplomat said they have been pressing the issue with the president ahead of Israel’s elections in October, saying they have no confidence in the prime minister and his government. Trump has reportedly been swayed by these conversations, which may be why he has refrained from endorsing Netanyahu outright while still calling him a “strong wartime prime minister.”

Trump and Netanyahu have shared some tense moments during the U.S. negotiations with Iran, including when Israel pushed back against being forced into a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which Trump believed was needed for the talks to proceed. The two, however, downplayed those disagreements and presented a united front publicly.

The Story of Sennacherib’s Attack of Judah and Jerusalem During the Reign of Hezekiah-A Syncrhronism Between Archaeology and the Hebrew Bible

A historical event where we see a lot of correspondence between the Biblical Text and archaeology is with the Assyrian attack against the kingdom of Judea and Jerusalem. In Isaiah chapter 36 of the Hebrew Bible it is written

“ In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. 2 Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem.”

From this we see that the King of Judah was Hezekiah and the Assyrian king was Sennacherib. Not only that but the Assyrian king had conquered Lachish and now he was headed to conquer Jerusalem.

What is rare about this story is that we have the extra biblical text from Sennacherib himself. In 1830 Colonel Robert Taylor while excavating at Nineveh found a prism with Akkadian writing on it. It was eventually deciphered. On it reads”

”As for the king of Judah, Hezekiah, who had not submitted to my authority, I besieged and captured forty-six of his fortified cities, along with many smaller towns, taken in battle with my battering rams. … I took as plunder 200,150 people, both small and great, male and female, along with a great number of animals including horses, mules, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep. As for Hezekiah, I shut him up like a caged bird in his royal city of Jerusalem. I then constructed a series of fortresses around him, and I did not allow anyone to come out of the city gates. His towns which I captured I gave to Mitinti , king of Ashdod; Padi, ruler of Ekron; and Silli-bel, king of Gaza.”

Sennacherib does not boast about capturing Jerusalem, only other towns of Judah. If he had captured Jerusalem he certainly would have boasted about it being the capital of Judah. Why was Sannacherib not able to capture Jerusalem? Every town the Assyrians besieged they captured all except Jerusalem. According to 2 Kings 18:13–15 it is written:

“ In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. So Hezekiah, king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: “I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me.” The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace.

In the prism written during Sennacherib’s reign it says

“As for Hezekiah, the terrifying splendor of my majesty overcame him, and the Urbi (Arabs) and his mercenary (?) troops which he had brought in to strengthen Jerusalem, his royal city, deserted him (lit. took leave). In addition to the 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver, (there were) gems, antimony, jewels (?), large sandu-stones, couches of ivory, house-chairs of ivory, elephant hide, ivory (lit. elephant’s “teeth”) ebony (?), boxwood (?), all kinds of valuable (heavy) treasures, as well as his daughters, his harem, his male and female musicians, (which) he had (them) bring after me to Nineveh, my royal city. To pay tribute and to accept (lit. do) servitude, he dispatched his messengers.”

Here we see the exact amount of gold as 30 talents of gold in both the Bible and the prism. The amount of silver is not the same but the fact both say Hezekiah gave silver is correct. From both the Hebrew Bible and the account from Sennacherib we see there is a lot of correspondence. the Bible correctly names the Hezekiah King of Judah and Sennacherib King of Assyria. The Bible correctly says towns in Judah were conquered but Jerusalem was not conquered.

All those who argue for the mythical character of the Bible do so from an argument of silence that we have not uncovered yet extra biblical texts corroborating the Bible. However when we do have such extra biblical texts, as we do here, then it shows that the Bible is not a mythical text. Besides being a religious text it is also a historical text.

Chabad Bais Din in Israel Looking into why Wigs are now $16,000!

 After years of complaints about the steady increase in wig prices, a new campaign is taking shape that could bring significant change.

Attorney Nechama Tzivin is advancing an initiative to secure halachic intervention regarding wig pricing, arguing that current prices constitute excessive price gouging that places a heavy burden on many families.

The initiative was sparked by a case in which a wig was reportedly sold for approximately ₪48,000 – about $16,000 USD. According to the organizers, this case illustrates the dramatic rise in wig prices in recent years and underscores the need for intervention by the rabbinical court.

As part of the effort, a formal claim is expected to be filed with Beis Din Rabbonei Chabad in Israel in the coming days. Similar claims are also planned for rabbinical courts serving the Litvish and Chassidic communities, with the goal of developing a broad communal position on the issue.

According to the organizers, the primary request is for the rabbinical courts to examine the matter and consider ways to oversee wig pricing and prevent excessive price inflation, with the aim of easing the financial burden on many families.

As of now, no response has been issued by representatives of the wig industry, nor have they provided an explanation for the high prices of wigs.

Good by "Vasikin" Minyanim in the USA

 There will be no turning back the clock if the House has its way.

The House passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent. Proponents, including the White House, argued the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. The vote was 308-117.

Daylight saving time is that period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. States could opt out if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill’s enactment. The Senate would also have to pass the bill before it could be signed into law, but it’s unclear if it will do so.

Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., said Americans are ready to “ditch the switch,” saying that changing the clock twice a year creates unnecessary disruption. More important, he said, it would give families more daylight time in the evening to spend outdoors and support local businesses.

“In my home state of Florida where tourism is a cornerstone of our economy, having more predictable daylight hours is a practical improvement that benefits workers, businesses and visitors alike,” Bilirakis said.

Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings where children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.

“Millions of Americans will wake up during the winter months in complete darkness with the sun not rising until long after people get up and travel to school or work or have to go about their days,” said Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa.

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass, said he supported the bill, but he questioned whether it was the best way for Congress to be spending its time.

“For folks getting crushed by rent, groceries, utility bills and healthcare costs, is this really the best the majority can do?” McGovern said. “Is this really the most pressing issue before the American people at this moment?”

A 2025 poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that if forced to choose, most Americans would prefer to keep that extra hour of daylight in the evening.

If they had to choose one option for the entire country to use, more than half of adults — 56% — prefer making daylight saving time permanent, with less light in the morning and more light in the evening. About 4 in 10 prefer standard time, with more light in the morning and less in the evening.

The White House weighed in before the House vote, calling the “Sunshine Protection Act” a popular, common-sense reform and saying advisers would recommend the president sign the bill if it reaches his desk.

Members of Congress have long been interested in the potential benefits and costs of daylight saving time since it was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. The Senate passed a bill four years ago to make daylight saving time permanent, but it stalled in the House.

Daf Yomi Learners Learn That one can eat a cow without Shechita and would not be restricted by the prohibition of cooking meat and milk

 Vue de Monde restaurant, on the 55th floor of the Rialto Towers in Melbourne, is one of the swankiest locations in Australia. Located in what was once the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, the restaurant provides panoramic views of the city, and its menu usually includes 14 to 17 set courses with options like “cured South Australian kangaroo with native mountain pepper.”

However, in August 2015, it hosted the launch of the “Ancient Kosher Ben Pekuah Meat Project,” one of the most ambitious and revolutionary kosher products launched in over 1,000 years.

Ben Pekuah is an ancient Halachic concept that is discussed in Jewish law, the Talmud, and rabbinic literature; it refers to the offspring of pregnant kosher bovine animals that are slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law. The surviving premature fetuses inside the slaughtered mothers are not considered to be “alive” according to the Mishna and some rabbinic opinions. This means that although the surviving animals look like regular goats, sheep, or cows, under Jewish law they do not technically require ritual slaughter nor the checking of their lungs or internal organs for imperfections that would render them nonkosher. The hind quarters of these animals—including the fats and the sciatic nerves, which are generally forbidden—may also be consumed, according to some rabbinic opinions.

According to some well respected halachic authorities, the Ben Pekuah is a species (like deer) that is not restricted by the prohibition of cooking meat and milk.

Throughout Jewish history small herds of Ben Pekuah have existed with their special privileges known about and utilized, including the fact that ritual slaughter was not required, with the last of these known herds recorded in the 13th century.

Emotional Solidarity, Even Without Ideological Agreement

by Rabbi Moshe Taragan 

 After forty tumultuous years of leadership in the desert, Moshe finally enjoyed a measure of well-earned peace. The eastern campaign had concluded successfully, and Midian had been brought to justice. The people had been counted and organized into tribes and families, and the process for allocating the Land of Israel had been put in place.

 A potential crisis had been averted, as five women who feared they would be excluded from inheriting Israel were granted their rightful share. 

Most importantly, Moshe’s successor had been appointed, assuring a smooth transition of leadership. 

3year-old finds 3,800 year-old carved Canaanite scarab near Beit-Shemesh

 

A 3-year-old just found something priceless.

Ziv Nitzan, from Moshav Ramot Meir, was hiking with her parents and two older sisters at the foot of Tel Azekah, near Beit Shemesh, Israel, when she bent down and picked up what looked like an ordinary stone. Her mother, Sivan Nitzan, said: "There are thousands of stones over there and it was upside down, but somehow out of all those stones, she picked this one."

Dr. Daphna Ben-Tor, an expert in ancient amulets and seals, confirmed the discovery was a Canaanite scarab from the Middle Bronze Age, dating to about 3,800 years ago. Scarabs were used in this period as seals and as amulets, found in graves, public buildings and private homes, and sometimes bearing symbols and messages that reflect religious beliefs or status.

In the Book of Samuel, Tel Azekah is explicitly named as the location of the battle between David and the giant Goliath. Archaeologists have been excavating there for nearly 15 years, finding it was once one of the most important cities in the Judean Lowlands.

Israeli Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu stated the find "connects us to a grand story, that of the ancient civilizations that lived in this land thousands of years ago," adding that "even children can be a part of discovering history."

The IAA thanked Ziv for her discovery by presenting her with a certificate of appreciation for good citizenship. The scarab will go on public display alongside other artifacts from the Egyptian and Canaanite eras at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem.
