I want to beseech the Pope and the Vatican to return the items that they have from the Jewish Temple that rightfully belong to the Jewish people. These items sitting idly in the Vatican vaults and archives hold enormous sanctity to the Jewish people who crafted and worshipped with them over the duration of 1,400 years from the Tabernacle to the First and Second Temples. In the spirit of love and brotherhood between Christians and Jews, and in the name of G-d who commands all mankind not to steal from one another, and to return lost items to their rightful owner, I say to the Pope, it is high time to do the right thing and return our holy Temple vessels to Israel.

Calling On The Vatican
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Calling On The Vatican."Historically, the holy city of Jerusalem was captured, and the second Jewish Temple was destroyed in 70 CE by the Roman Army led by Titus and his father Emperor Vespasian. Later, in the year 81 CE, the Arch of Titus (pictured above) was erected to commemorate Titus’s victory over the Jews and depicts the plunder the Roman Army carried back in their ceremonial march. Clearly carved in the arch are the Temple menorah, trumpets, and the table for the showbread—a sampling of the Temple spoils that the Romans carried off back to their home.

Paradoxically Jewish
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Paradoxically Jewish."
While Israel and the Jews are filled with paradoxes from our forefather Abraham to the modern State of Israel, we are a people who try to wear these paradoxes well. We relish our commonalties even as we are proud of our differences and uniqueness. We argue and fight with each to try to get to “the truth of the matter,” and we negotiate, compromise, threaten and cajole to that sometimes elusive end. Paradox is just another word for our survival against all odds and our determination to overcome the blind hate, anti-Semitism, and scapegoating of Jews throughout history. We Jews are individually broken, but together, we are a beautiful, paradoxical mosaic—a little meshuggah (crazy) and with an unfortunate dose of PTSD, but fundamentally good in intent and deed—working to fulfill our optimism, hope, and mission to usher in the universality of G-d in the world and of betterment for humankind.(Credit Photo: Andy Blumenthal)

The Feeling of Shaming
What's it like to feel shame?
In this life, it's having your head ripped around your body.
Then in the next life, it's got to be a soul bared and stretched across the heavens and for all eternity.
Punishment is revelation and the mark it undoubtedly leaves behind.

The End of Times
I am looking for a good book on the Jewish view of the End of Times.
- Who fights who?
- What happens and how does the fighting finally end?
- Who will live and who will die?
- Who from the dead will be resurrected?
- What occurs in practical terms when the Mashiach arrives?
- What does G-d's revelation to the whole world look and feel like?
- Where is Israel at each step in unfolding of the redemption?
- How does the 3rd Temple actually get built?
- Is world peace not only possible, but also enduring?
Wow, would love to read a layman's book like this.
Can anyone recommend anything really good? ;-)

What REALLY Happened to Jeffrey Epstein
It was incredible to find out today what really happened to that convicted sex offender, slime bucket, Jeffrey Epstein.
He was murdered!
How do I know?
It was on the coffee cup at Starbucks, of course.
Honestly, I don't really care that much how he died, but am just grateful that sick louse is a goner. ;-)

Yearning For Redemption
There is such a yearning for people to do good and to merit the coming of Mashiach (Messiah) towards the ultimate redemption for mankind.
It's on every street corner and light post.
Whether it's eyes gazed on the righteousness of Rabbi Nachman or The Rebbe--as we used to sing as kids in NCSY:
"We want Mashiach now!"
Whether Mashiach is an actual person or a spiritual revelation in the world leading to redemption--it represents an unprecedented enlightenment, holiness and a spiritual healing, and love and peace for mankind.
While we strive to earn our daily bread, it's nice to have a part of us that also seeks a greater good and achieving betterment for the world.
Any small or big things we can do in our lives to contribute to Tikkun Olam ("fixing the world"), it's purposeful, hopeful, and uplifting to try. ;-)

Behold, The Day Cometh
{I don't know what this is, but it came to me, and it just feels important to share...I start to feel spiritually overwhelmed, very emotional, and then all choked up...and so it starts}
Behold, the day cometh when the earth will open it's mouth.
And there will be a very great slaughter.
And the earth will shake and tremble before the Holy One blessed be he.
He walks before the nation of Israel.
Ready to strike with the all-powerful tip of His spear.
Like a bolt of lightening without warning.
Magnificent in beauty and damning in tumultuous energy.
The sky thunders before His majesty.
The angels stir and flee before the All-Mighty Creator.
His holiness envelopes the earth and stars.
His eyes are full of mercy, but justice is in his mighty outstretched arm.
Those that stand in evil before His glory will soon be buried in a very great rubble.
The skies are darkening; the day is arriving.
And all the people will know that G-d dost live, and His people shall live.
Evil will be obliterated from off the face of the earth, and His holiness will manifest in peace and redemption.
The implements of war will be smashed to smithereens, engulfed within the insides of the earth.
And their makers buried beside them, crushed and utterly destroyed.
A mass grave to the east and to the west, and then a great rebuilding.
From the L-rd goeth forth justice to his enemies and mercy to His children.
{The streaming stops suddenly...I want it to continue...but it's over...I try my own words, but they are not His...I give up for today.}

613 Menu
And here it is again, on the menu for a simple Caesar Salad--depending on the size, it's $6 or $13.
I'm sorry but I don't need a statistician to tell me that the number of times and places for the revealing of 613--without even looking for it (seriously)--is extraordinary. indeed.
G-d has a message for us of hope and faith--613--I plan on listening. ;-)
