June 17, 2021 Hukkat – Rabbi Wexler
June 17, 2021 Hukkat – Rabbi Wexler Our Torah portion this week, Hukkat, is very much about transition of leadership. The triumvirate who led the people out of Egypt and through four decades of peril and transformation, are reaching the end of their lives. First, Miriam dies. Then Aaron dies. And finally, Moses learns he will never cross the Jordan River nor enter the land of Israel. The remainder of the Torah is not only dedicated to the Israelites’ remaining journey through the wilderness, but even more, their journey of transition from one generation to the next and from one leadership regime to another. This summer feels very much like a time of transition for all of us; both for everyone here in Cherry Hill as we seek to slowly and carefully move out of the pandemic, and also a significant moment of change and transition for our brothers and sisters in Israel with the election of their 36th government. In recent years, Israel’s democracy has been challenged. Radicalization and polarization divided Israel into two camps, one for and one against Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. Netanyahu was viewed by many as Israel’s leader par excellence, a master politician and statesman, but by an even greater number as power-hungry and corrupt. As a result, Israel held four elections in the past two years and the two camps remained in a stalemate. However, we finally have clarity and answers from the results of the most recent election, which may well go down as one of the most revolutionary elections in Israel’s history. -

Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list. -

NAFTALI BENNETT INAUGURATION SPEECH at the Knesset in Jerusalem, Israel by Luis B
NAFTALI BENNETT INAUGURATION SPEECH At the Knesset in Jerusalem, Israel by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScritpts.org ‘When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our Enemies heard that I had rebuilt the Wall and not a gap was left, though to that time I had not yet installed the Doors in the Gates, Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono. But they were planning to harm me.’ -Nehemiah 6:1-2 The purpose of this study is to 1st provide the official released Inauguration Speech of Israel’s new Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett. The 2nd purposed is to analyze key prophetic inferences related to the Last Days that are pertinent from the speech in light of a Christian perspective and interpretation of world event and Israel’s coming 70th Week for Years. It is very interesting how when such national events occur and the occasion is for a Transition of Government, for example, that such People invoke the Name of GOD, in this case, the GOD of Israel, YHVH. Bennett ended his speech with a prayer to ‘Our Heavenly Father, the Rock and Redeemer of Israel’. It is very interesting as it echoes the Triune Nature of YHVH being, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. If one knows and has read the Gospel accounts of Jesus, it is striking how at the account of the Resurrection of Jesus, Mary Magdalene sought to locate the body of Jesus. Why? She came to the Garden Tomb and found that the Stone that had sealed the Tomb was rolled away.
