The Torah Parasha this week is VeYechi.

This Parasha is about the last moments of Yaakov’s life. Just before Yaakov’s death, he gathered his sons and told them (49:1), “Assemble yourselves and I will tell you what will befall you in the End of Days.”

*JDL* Parsha and Weekly Update – Dec 18, 2009

Chanukah is a very important holiday for the Jewish People to celebrate. It is a time for the Jewish People understand the meaning of what it means to be Jewish and what it means to have a Jewish State. A clear understanding of these concepts is required in our ongoing struggle for freedom to be successful.

The following article by Benyamin Kahne about Chanukah, will provide much needed insight on these issues

There are some very important issues that I would like to share with the reader. I would first like to share a very insightful and relevant explanation of this week’s Parsha that was written by Rabbi Meir Kahane. Following the Parsha, is an urgent information about our upcoming counter protest at the Israel Consulate in Toronto and other JDL programs.

“Behold the dreamer”
By Rabbi Meir Kahane, Zt”l

*JDL* Parsha and Weekly Update – Dec. 4, 2009

Shabbat we read from the Torah about the disturbing story of Dina, the daughter of Lea and Jacob.

The entire chapter 34 of Bereishit, all 31 verses, narrates the events surrounding Dina’s rape and her brother’s response. And, as we read in the Torah, Shcehm takes her captive, lies with her and afflicts her. We are told that she suffers. In addition, Shcehm enslaves her in his house for at least 3 days until Dina’s brothers rescue her. We read how after Dina is raped, her father Jacob is silent; then all of Dina’s brothers devise a plan where they convince the people of Shchem to circumcise themselves, and on the 3rd day Shimon and Levi rise up and kill the men of Shchem.

“Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field; and Jacob held his peace until they came. When Jacob heard that his daughter had been defiled, he kept silent. He did nothing.

This story has been the subject of intense debate. The issue is collective punishment. Is it right and just for a population to be silent when rape and other horrors take place in the open.

The USA and Britain ended WW2 because they bombed German cities. That was collective punishment. When the Arabs of Gaza vote in a Hamas Government, then they have openly endorsed a policy that calls for the murder of Jews the destruction of the Jewish State.

A very basic lesson of this parsha is that the Government of Israel has betrayed Gilad Schalit and Jonathon Pollard.

It is wrong to be silent.
