ON Parasha Wajakhel!

This extreme instruction illustrates the extreme importance of Shabbat. A „heavIt’s time to consider Parasha HaShavua. In Vayakhel, the commandment to keep Shabbat is repeated right at the beginning! This double command is very important, as it was also required in the previous parasha. One might think that after Moshe Rabbeinu shattered the first pair of tablets, it’s now too late. This is not the case. In Vayakhel, he gathers all the Children of Israel and speaks to them as a father speaks to his children—firmly and sternly. He admonishes that anyone who works on Shabbat, that is, who makes this day a creative day on which something is changed, shall be put to death.e-off,“ a gift for the construction of the Temple, is to be given to the Lord—from everyone whose heart desires it. He speaks of gold, silver, and copper. This is clearly evident in the presentation of Aaron, the first Kohen haGadol of Israel, in the parasha. It is important to recognize that both women and men participate in this process of giving to the Sanctuary. They all contribute with their individual talents. See Exodus 35:25. The women are listed first, followed by the princes who brought the shoham stones and the stones for the ephod (the breastplate of the Kohen haGadol). Finally, Exodus 35:29 states: „All the men and women whose hearts were inclined to do all the work that the Lord commanded through Moses to do—they brought them as a gift to the Lord.“

If one examines the content more closely, it is striking that Moshe Rabbeinu successfully obtained forgiveness for the sin of the Golden Calf. Two things are important to me here: One must remember these events so that one can attain the prerequisite for an awareness of the forgiveness of this great spiritual defeat and transgression. The joy with which a new beginning becomes possible for everyone can now be all the greater. Moshe Rabbeinu descends with a second pair of tablets and gathers the Jewish people. What is the purpose of this gathering?!! It is about the Jewish people understanding, above all, that G-d’s desire is to build a sanctuary – nothing else. The brief but very clear, indicative admonition to keep Shabbat, which comes at the beginning, is very important. He then describes in great detail and at length which materials are needed to construct the Tabernacle, and it becomes increasingly clear that the entire Jewish people, everyone, is involved. Men and women equally generously donate all the materials that Moshe Rabbeinu lists.

Then Oholiab and Bezalel are listed, who receive these donations as foremen and construct the Tabernacle. The people continue to donate generously until the craftsmen inform Moshe Rabbeinu that they have more than enough to complete their tasks. Therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu proclaims that all donations should cease. It is also important to recognize that there is close contact between Oholiab and Bezalel with Moshe Rabbeinu, and he listens to them.

For my part, I surrender any acquired rights I may have acquired in the past to the true and only King we have—Hashem—and will participate in our Jewish tradition, which dates back to this time.

Shabbat Shalom.

The Truth what happened at 7th October and why Hamas must be finished for all times (First appeard by Gabriel Strenger, Israel)

Some of my Muslim friends, with whom I was engaged in interfaith dialogue until a year ago, are publishing criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza. I would now like to say the following to you:

If I were a Muslim, I would be deeply ashamed of the outrageous Hamas massacre—which, according to opinion polls in Gaza, is still supported by the majority of Palestinians. Above all, I would remain silent—especially during the holy month of Ramadan. But I certainly would not criticize the Jewish state for its handling of the Hamas terrorists who are now cowardly hiding behind Palestinian women and children in Gaza.

Here is the latest report, written by British researchers, on the Palestinian crimes of October 7:

Klicke, um auf The_7_October_Parliamentary_Commission_Report___The_Roberts_Report_.pdf zuzugreifen

Warning – this is a horrific report! It details how Palestinians – yes, including ordinary civilians – raped, dismembered, and burned Jewish women and men, how they tortured children in front of their parents, and how they cut off the genitals of fathers in front of their children. During their atrocities, they often did not fail to repeatedly shout Allahu Akbar.

As I said: If a Muslim doesn’t have the courage to demand punishment for the criminals in his own ranks, he should really keep his mouth shut.

Gedanken zur Parasha Wajikra

Ich beschäftige mich im Moment mit der Parasha Wajikra, was soviel heisst wie: Er rief. Gemeint ist Moshe Rabbeinu. Aber bei genauerer Betrachtung passiert hier etwas ausgewöhnliches. Er, der Ewige, rief Moshe zu, er redete zu ihm, dass er mit den Söhnen Jisrael spricht. Diese Wiederholung der Worte „rief zu“, „redete“ und ’sprechend‘ in einem Satz machen sehr aufmerksam. (Wajikra, 1,1)
Er redete Moshe zu, fast könnte man meinen er ermunterte ihn, dann die zweimalige Wiederholung er, ER – gemeint ist Hashem selbst – redete aus dem Zelt der Begegnung (Mishkan). Diese Betonung ist der eindeutige Hinweis, dass man es bei Moshe nicht um einen Wahrsager oder Fremden Propheten zu tun hat, sondern dass der G-tt Israels direkt mit Moshe Rabbeinu kommuniziert und beauftragt mit den Söhnen Israels zu sprechen. Er ist die alleinige Autorität, die es den Söhnen Israels ermöglicht, eine wichtige Aussage anzunehmen.

Jetzt zum Inhalt dieser Aussagen: Bitte studieren Sie die einzelnen Darnahungen. Es sind verschiedene Tiere, die gebracht werden, um im Tempel dargenaht werden, durch einen Kohen. Gemeint sind damit die Söhne Aharons, dem Kohen haGadol. Die Kohen bereiten die Tieropfer vor, die eigentlich gar keine Opfer sind, sondern Darhöhung. Ein großer Unterschied, den Rabbiner bestimmt gut erklären können.

Das heisst, das der Vorgang des Verbrennen eines Tieres genauen Regeln entsprechen muss und dass das Tier eine bestimmte Funktion übernimmt, in der die Gnadenfunktion eine große Rolle spielt (Wajikra, 1,3). Dann wird es vor dem G-tt Israels getötet und der Kohen haGadol lässt es emporrauchen… Sehr detailiert wird jeder Teil dessen, was im Tempel vorsichgeht beschrieben. Zwei Dinge sind haShem, Baruch Hu, besonders wichtig: Die Einhaltung der Regeln im Tempeldienst, als geordneter Vorgang und der Bet haMikdasch selbst. Er bildet die räumliche Voraussetzung für die Opfer.

Was können wir daraus lernen? Erst kommt die Ordnung, dann der Frieden und dass der Tempel die Voraussetzung für das Kommen des Mashiach ist.

Thoughts at Parasha Pekudej

Also this evening I dealt a little with the Parasha Pekude. Chapter 39, verse 14 particularly stood out to me. In this pasuk it is said that the stones were named after the (twelve) sons of Israel, their names.

Several thoughts run through my mind. Among other things, although ‚their names‘ are mentioned here, they are not listed afterwards. I interpret this to mean that it is important for the sons of Israel to make a name for themselves based on their merits. However, the clothing of the Kohen haGadol is described in detail in the lines immediately following. Also the ephod, the breastplate, with the precious stones. In the times of the Temple, these outstanding personalities – we are talking about the sons of Israel – were the representatives of the individual tribes. It is important to recognize that all tribes had different characteristics and are equally important. No one is allowed to rise above the other, because all stones have their place on the breastplate of the Kohen haGadol. These are equally close to his heart and that is why this is indispensable.

For Jewish Life!

Knowing that every day of life is a gift from Hashem to all of us, I ask for your support of the Ahavat Yisrael community in Uganda. I maintain very close contacts, especially with Kato Joseph, whose unborn child died one week ago. It was supposed to be saved, but any help came too late. Now it is even more important to support and promote Jewish life. Our commitment has never been more valuable than it is today. Thank you for taking part.

Not my G-d

The same G-d (Hashem-G-d of Israel) of Christians and Jews will Revenge her brutally death. There we’re killed because they are Israelis and Jews. I promise never believe in one word of Muslims, when they Talk about Peace and their own Religion. Not my G-d!

Parasha Mishpatim (Mischpatim)

I started to study the Parasha Mishpatim for the first time this week. It is so gratifying to do so.
Some important commandments are listed right at the beginning. It is not for nothing that the Parasha itself is called legal decrees or, better, legal statutes – the plural of Mishpat, as they regulate social relationships within the Jewish people and also dealings with strangers.

The Torah is always both – instruction and binding law; it has always been taken seriously by Jewish people as a revelation from God and has increased in importance in our times. Bringing all 613 commandments to life in everyday life is not only central, but also unavoidable.

On the coming Shabbat, these legal statutes will be read out publicly. They will thus be proclaimed, remembered and internalized. It is therefore not a process of „entertainment“, but of instruction and reminder that these must be enforced. Hence the name Mishpatim. It deals with rules about servants, rules about physical assault, rules about theft, further rules about seducing a virgin and marrying her with the obligation of dowry, sorcerers, sodomy, serving other gods, insulting a stranger, dealing with widows and orphans, lending money, rules about first fruits, rules about justice, rules about the Shabbat year and Shabbat, rules about the festivals and rules about the Promised Land.

Mishpatim therefore involves a whole range of different laws that must lead to a fair legal system. This is the crucial point – the transfer of the laws into the dealings of a more just Jewish society; or in the Diaspora, the social structure of a community.

It is important that the Torah is introduced very carefully, first in narrative terms – almost tentatively. And it is also important that the laws are not simply passed. Didactically, it is very valuable that the parasha begins with the regulations on servitude. Let us remember that the Jewish people have only just been liberated and are standing in the desert at Mount Sinai. One might think that there are more important things for them than the servitude that someone has to enter into out of necessity. That is precisely the starting point. The text and address make it clear from the outset that dependency relationships are not a thing of the past. Economic emergencies are a reality. But one thing has changed: servitude is an economic factor and is therefore always limited. Servitude is no longer oppression. Nor is it submission to a regime that forces self-sacrifice.

The Israelite servant remains an Israelite and is therefore oriented towards freedom. Rashi therefore says that by the Yovel year at the latest, even those who do not want to be free will be liberated. It is important to recognize that these laws are above our own limited, short-term interests and are therefore the central starting point for our own decisions.

Shabbat Shalom

Thoughts at Parasha Jethro…

Thoughts on Parasha Jethro:

By embracing all of the Mitzvot, the Aseret HaDibrod contained in this week’s Parasha Jithro, and accepting them as the essence of Jewish law, we commit ourselves as monotheists.
I fully accept the Torah, which means that all the commandments it contains are of equal and eternal validity and relevance. The Torah is not a „wish concert“ that you can use as you wish and only take parts seriously that fit into your own worldview. Torah means instructions; it is the guideline and guide for a life that makes Hashem smile.
Any ecletistic attempt to view G‑d’s commandments as irrelevant is therefore neither kosher nor in the spirit of the Creator. Consider who you are standing before when you go to synagogue and be ready for the day when the Eternal will ask you:

“ What have you done?!!“

Shabbat Shalom
