JPOST EDITORIAL: In the spirit of Genesis 12:3, which states that God will bless those who bless the people of Israel, we bless those Christians who came to celebrate Sukkot in the Jewish state. Just as you have buoyed our spirits, we hope that you return home uplifted by your visit to the Holy Land.
"Behold, I shall give those from the Church of God ~ those who do not admit to be Jews though they are, but they speak truth ~ I shall cause them to come and worship Me and they shall know that I love them" (Based on Revelation 3:9).

MICHELLE POGREBINSKY: A priest and a rabbi walk into a 20 degree snowy outdoor wedding sounds like the beginning of a joke however in our case it was the happiest day of our lives. We can't believe how its already been a year since our wedding and look forward to what the next year will bring (our baby!). We want to thank all our amazing friends and family for their support, we love you all very much!

I think, what's Genius about Anna of the tribe of Asher was that she did not need to utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. Her faith was largely intuitive.



LUIS ANTONIO GOKIM TAGLE: We hope we could also be like Simeon and Anna, always looking forward to seeing God’s salvation.






"Ashes are symbolic, but what do you do with them? Ashes are somewhat unique because they do not constitute a body that would need to be buried in a halachic sense. There is no longer the 'chiuv' — the obligation — to bury it because it is no longer recognizable. If a body is burned completely, the ashes are considered to be something that there is not an obligation to bury, but the bottom line is that although there might not be a chiuv to bury, burial nonetheless is the opinion of most of the rabbis who write about it, both for 'kavod hamet' — honoring the dead — and also honoring the living. That included parts of the human body — skin for lampshades, soap made out of bodies. You bury them, out of respect for the martyrs of the Shoah, to indicate that their remains will be included in 'techiyas hameisim,' the resurrection of the dead and World to Come, when one day, we will meet our loved ones again."

ST. PAULS: Anna does not utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. She just thanks God for the Child. She also speaks about Him to her fellow Jews who, like her, await the redemption of Israel. As a prophetess, she evangelizes.
RUTH ADAR: There is a blessing for the sight of a volcanic eruption: 
"Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haOlam, sheh-ko-KHO ug-vu-rah-TOH mah-LAY oh-LAHM. 
Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of All-that-is, whose strength and power fill the world."

SHARON WEISS~GREENBERG: I was moved to return to the original text. I would encourage you to do the same — consider what we, in 2019, might do to recreate the community and climate that allowed Ruth, a Moabite woman, to become integral to the Jewish people.

Joseph Robinette Biden Junior shares something very, very unusual with Donald John Trump Senior, Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi, and Rodrigo Roa Duterte: virtually all their grandchildren are Jews, a Jewish family trait that seems to be a tacit requirement these days for anyone running for the Highest offices in politics. Barack Hussein Obama has two half~brothers that are Jews. Hillary Diane Rodham~Clinton's grandchildren are Jews. Both Bernard Sanders and Michael Rubens Bloomberg are Jews.

It's not about Popularity. It's about Agency.
