"And you shall command the children of Israel to kindle the lamps continually." (Exodus 27:20) The light of the golden menora symbolizes the light of G-d in this world. If so, then why are we instructed to "kindle the lamps?" By actively lighting the menora, we are making G-ds light our light, as well. In this manner we are able to spread G-ds light to all mankind.

We're dealing with the rules of the priestly clothing: an epic dress code that involves crimson and gold, linen and wool, a tunic, sash, and robe. What you have to remember is that there isn't an H&M in the deserts of the Biblical Middle East, so making garments like this was a serious undertaking

Beginning of Megilat Esther being read and Purim in the Morrocan tradition


Jewishfan

The Book of Esther (Megillat Esther in Hebrew), the basis for the Purim holiday, recounts one of the most beloved of all biblical stories. Purim Illustration Haman, the arch villain of the story, devises a plan to annihilate the Jews of Persia which is approved by the Persian King Ahasuerus. Through a complex turn of events, the Jewish Queen Esther and her adoptive father Mordechai manage to intercede with the king, thwart Haman's evil plan, and destroy Haman, his family and other enemies of the Jewish people. The holiday of Purim is then proclaimed - March '08

If you would like to be a part of the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, see the
donations page at their site. An idea came to me to use this as a Petition to Hashem to ask Him for the Beit HaMikdash to be rebuilt since the amount of donations can be as little or as much as you can afford.

On a personal note, I did not want to stand in front of Hashem and try to explain why I did not contribute towards the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash when the opportunity was there and when I wanted to take part of the mitzvah/precept. With the parasha that will be read this Shabbat and with Moshe Rabbeinu's upcoming Hillulah, it is, to me, seamless

Martin Grossman - Tehilim was been said for him worldwide this past few days hoping for a stay in his sentence and for him to complete his life sentence instead. Unfortunately it was not to be. He had made a turn around and had truly repented. Unfortunately he was executed on Tues Feb 16 '10 at 6pm see video report below

Jewish Inmate Martin Grossman Put To Death
- Jan 16 '10
Starke, FL - Martin Grossman was declared dead at 6:17 p.m. at theFlorida state prison in Starke, 15 minutes after the start of his execution by lethal injection.

In a final statement, Grossman expressed remorse to the family of Peggy Park, the Florida wildlife officer he beat and shot to death more than 25 years ago.

"I would like to extend my heartfelt remorse to the victim's family," Grossman said. "I fully regret everything that happened that night, everything that was done, whether I remember everything or not. I accept responsibility."

"I would like to say a prayer," the 45-year-old man added, then, lying on a gurney, hands strapped to arm boards and with needles in both arms, he began reciting a Jewish prayer called the Schma.

It is the most sacred prayer in Judaism and the first prayer that Jewish children learn. Among its verses: "The Lord is our God, God is one."

Park's brother, sister and mother were among the 20 witnesses to the execution. They were seated directly in front of Grossman, who was visible through a window.

The Vatican, Jewish leaders as far away as Israel, and thousands of petitioners called for a stop to the execution on several grounds, including questions about whether the slaying was premeditated, Grossman's diminished IQ and his remorse for the crime.

Grossman's religious adviser, Rabbi Menachem Katz, was with him in his cell throughout the day.

Grossman took a shower and dressed at 4 p.m. He ordered no special last meal, just food from the prison cantina a fried chicken sandwich, fruit punch, and banana cookies, said Gretl Plessinger, spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections.

"He is calm, compliant and resolved to the fact his execution is going to happen," Plessinger said before he was walked to the death chamber.

Grossman's final visit was 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. today with his aunt, Rosal Melton, and two female friends, Sharon Lion and Francine Whitehouse. The first two hours, a visitors window separated them and the last hour was a contact visit.

Earlier Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused today to block Grossman's execution.

He was sentenced to death for murdering Park on Dec. 13, 1984, as she patrolled a wooded area of Pinellas County now known as the Brooker Creek Preserve.

She came across Grossman, then a 19-year-old high school dropout, and a 17-year-old accomplice. They had a stolen gun. Grossman had already been to prison for grand theft and breaking-and-entering. He didn't want to go back. They beat Park with a flashlight and shot her with her service revolver.

Last-minute efforts to spare Grossman's life extended to the Vatican, which sent a letter to Gov. Charlie Crist saying "the prisoner has repented and is now a changed person." The letter was sent in response to a request from Rabbi Shear-Yashuv Cohen, chief Rabbi of Haifa, Israel.

Grossman is the 69th person executed in Florida since the death penalty was reinstated in 1979, and the 25th by lethal injection. He was the fifth inmate executed under Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who has been in office for three years.

Crist signed Grossman's death warrant Jan. 12. Since that time, his office has received about 49,000 letters, telephone calls or e-mails, according to a spokesman

It is Known that there will be no one like you(ever again)"

Dry Bones cartoon: Obama orders NATO attack on Taliban Strongholds in Afghanistan and hopes he won't be Goldstoned.
the latest from Canada's
Globe and Mail:

NATO strikes kill 12 civilians in Afghanistan "NATO rockets missed their target and killed 12 civilians in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, as NATO and Afghan forces continued a massive attack on two Taliban-held regions.
U.S. General Stanley McChrystal, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, apologized to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the accident.
In a statement released by NATO, Gen. McChrystal said he regrets that innocent lives were lost in Nad Ali district.
Mr. Karzai issued a statement minutes earlier saying 10 members of the same family died when a rocket hit a house. Before the offensive began, Mr. Karzai pleaded with Afghan and foreign military leaders to be extra careful to avoid civilian casualties.
About 15,000 coalition troops are involved in Operation Moshtarak, named for a Dari word meaning “together” and launched before dawn Saturday. It’s one of the West’s biggest attacks since the start of the war in 2001."

Excerpt from the Temple Institute Newsletter on lessons with Rabbi Richman on service in the Holy Temple / Beit Hamikdash

An Altar of EarthToday also features the new Light to the Nations teaching by Rabbi Chaim Richman, entitled, "An Altar of Earth: We have just completed the Torah reading of Yitro, in which we received Torah at Sinai, and this week we are proceeding to the Torah reading, Mishpatim, in which we learn the details of Torah’s instructions for everyday living. How do we make such a fast and radical transition from the ethereal to the “mundane ” civil ordinances? The earthen altar, described in the closing lines of Yitro, provides the answer, and why the Temple Institute’s current Altar Project is so essential to mankind today." Click here to view.

When she asked her grandmother, she casually answered that it has been always in the family.

Eventually, she converted, married, has a family and currently lives in Israel. Here is a video mostly in Spanish with Portuguese subtitles.

Creation reflects the rule of God, who is praised by the breath of all life. God’s greatness and goodness fill the universe; knowledge and wisdom encircle God’s Presence. Exalted is God by creatures celestial, enhanced and adorned by the mysteries of Heaven. God’s throne is guarded by truth and purity. God is surrounded by mercy and love. Good are the lights which our God has created, fashioning them with insight and wisdom, endowing them with power and vigor to maintain dominion amidst the world. Abounding in splendor, radiating brilliance, their splendor adorns the universe, rejoicing in rising, gladly setting, rushing to obey their Creator’s will. God is acclaimed by beauty and glory, God’s sovereignty sung by celebration and praise. God summoned the sun and it shed its light; God made the moon, setting its cycles. All bodies of the heavens, the stars and planets, acclaim God with praise; celestial creatures.give glory and greatness
