Aunque en realidad no es destino de Moshé. Ante el pueblo que se desespera Ltanto la Torá, como la lectura que los judíos Epor el agua, D-s le indica que pida a una roca que hacemos de ella. En su comentario a Parashat provea agua. Pero Moshé no pide sino golpea a la roca. Por esta razón no podrá ingresar a la Tierra Prometida. Reé, Eitan Cooper, vicepresidente ejecutivo del Más allá de las múltiples interpretaciones de este episodio, Instituto Schechter en Jerusalem, percibe una hay algo sumamente extraño: si al recibir la Torá en el coincidencia notable. La parashá comienza y monte Sinaí Moshé sabía que un día golpearía una roca termina con dos mitzvot relacionadas con el desobedeciendo el mandato de D-s y por eso recibiría el castigo que le impediría entrar a la Tierra Prometida verbo mirar. La parashá se abre con la conocida ¿tendría sentido que hiciera justamente eso años más indicación de Deuteronomio 11:26: “Mira, yo tarde sabiendo cuáles serían las consecuencias? pongo delante de ustedes la bendición y la vida, la En el Sinaí, en el momento que sucedió la Revelación de maldición y la muerte. El Midrash (Devarim Rabá D-s y la entrega de la Torá, ¿recibió Moshé toda la Torá 4:3) establece que D-s no se limita a colocar ambos entera o una parte de ella? ¿Qué recibió o sabía Moshé caminos frente al ser humano para que elija por realmente? ¿Recibió todo incluyendo lo que sucedería cuál transitará; va más allá, con una vehemente en el futuro? Y si no fue así entonces ¿qué recibió, qué escribió y cuándo lo hizo? exhortación: “Elige, pues, la vida” (Deuteronomio 30:19). En la milenaria historia judía no somos los primeros en hacernos esta pregunta. El Rabino RaMbaN (1194-1270) La parashá continúa con diversas mitzvot que enseña que Moshé recibió toda la historia hasta el Monte y no judíos por igual). Damos vuelta la cara para apuntan a una vida de sentido, como la kashrut, la Sinaí. Eso significa que recibió la historia de la Creación, no ver los problemas ajenos cuando no nos la historia de los Patriarcas y las Matriarcas, la historia de separación del diezmo de nuestras ganancias, el Iosef y sus hermanos y la historia del éxodo de Egipto. afectan a nosotros directamente. Vemos a quienes agradecimiento, la celebración de las festividades. Pero D-s no permitió que Moshé supiera lo que sucedería queremos ver y dejamos al resto en la zona oscura Y al final de la parashá leemos: “Tres veces al de allí en adelante. Según el RaMbaN la historia de Moshé de la indiferencia. desde que bajó del Monte Sinaí y se encontró con el año será visto todo varón delante del Eterno en el becerro de oro hasta el final de su vida fue sucediendo en lugar que Él escogiere…” (Deuteronomio 16:16). forma gradual y fue escribiéndose gradualmente a medida Ver y ser visto podría ser un principio de solución Cooper encuentra una interesante tensión entre que vivía su día a día. Su historia personal fue concluida a los problemas que hoy nos aquejan. Debemos junto con el final de la Torá. RaMbaN trae como prueba ambos versículos. Los dos utilizan el mismo verbo, actuar siempre con responsabilidad. Cuidar lo que que leemos sobre el final de la Torá misma, “Escribió mirar. Uno en modo activo (reé, mira) y el otro en Moshé esta Torá y la dio a los sacerdotes” (Devarim 31:9). escribimos, reenviamos, retuiteamos, tratando de modo pasivo (iraé, haz que te miren, déjate ver). Es decir, seguía escribiendo incluso hasta el final de sus no hacer ni decir nada que no haríamos en modo días. presencial. La tecnología no es un anillo de Gyges, ¿Qué significa ver y ser visto? Hay una novela nuestra conducta debe ser ética sin depender de La respuesta del RaMbaN nos recuerda que nadie -ni de H. G. Wells (fines del s. XIX) llamada “El siquiera Moshé- puede saber qué le va a suceder en su nuestro grado de exposición. vida hasta el preciso momento en que le sucede. Cada hombre invisible”. Basada en la parábola del anillo vez que uno mira lo que le ha acontecido en los últimos de Gyges (en La República de Platón) narra la Debemos visibilizar a los invisibles, ocuparnos años uno siempre se sorprende de todo lo que pasó y historia, llevada al cine en varias versiones, de un nunca había imaginado que iba a sucederle.

Lo más gratos y justos para todos. más importante es que esto no debe asustarnos porque como el de Wells, es si el ser humano se comporta no es algo malo sino por el contrario, es algo maravilloso éticamente solo por temor al castigo impuesto por que nos muestra el potencial que tenemos aún por delante. Un midrash al primer versículo de parashat la ley. Surge una pregunta movilizante: ¿Qué harías Reé dice que cada ser humano tiene un ángel ¿Por qué no podemos conocer nuestra historia? ¿Por qué si fueras invisible? ¿Utilizarías esa condición para que camina delante suyo para protegerlo del no nos está permitido saber qué va a pasarnos en la vida hacer el bien o para el hacer el mal? y de hecho absolutamente nadie lo sabe? mal, proclamando: “¡Abran paso a la imagen de D-s!”. Cooper lo explica muy bellamente: para La pregunta no es retórica, es muy real. Cooper Porque con la ayuda de D-s, nosotros mismos contribuimos realizar plenamente nuestro potencial humano y a darle forma a nuestra propia historia. Nuestras decisiones plantea si no son acaso las redes sociales un anillo merecer nuestra condición de ser la imagen de un afectan nuestra propia vida y en forma extraordinaria esas de Gyges, facilitando un anonimato que permite decisiones afectan a su vez la vida de quienes nos rodean D-s invisible, debemos ser plenamente visibles. generar memes de odio, Fake news y todo tipo de e incluso de personas que vendrán más adelante y que tal Debemos estar atentos para ver a los demás; vez nunca conozcamos porque ya nos habremos ido de mensajes que quizás no nos atreveríamos a emitir y actuar responsablemente para que no nos este mundo. Nuestra historia no es solo lo que nos sucede dando la cara. Si esto ocurre en la vida virtual, en forma individual. De hecho nuestra historia no es lo incomode saber que nos están mirando. Sólo así también existe en la vida real, donde somos que soñamos, imaginamos, creemos o pensamos que lograremos distinguir sabiamente la bendición de testigos de incendios y ataques vandálicos por nos merecemos o va a sucedernos. Nuestra historia es la maldición. Esto puede ayudarnos a cumplir con finalmente lo que vamos haciendo con aquello que nos va parte de personas encapuchadas que se sienten la exhortación de D-s, que nos dice una y otra vez: sucediendo y aconteciendo en la vida. invisibles e impunes ante la ley. “Ubajarta bajaim”. Elige la vida. Si Moshé hubiese conocido su propia historia en forma total Pero hay otra novela titulada “El hombre tal vez no se hubiera entusiasmado en hacer el esfuerzo invisible”. Escrita en 1952 por Ralph Ellison, narra que hizo. Quizás se hubiese “deprimido”. Al igual que la experiencia de un hombre negro que se siente Moshé, todos seguimos adelante con esa incertidumbre sobre si realmente alcanzaremos algún día el “lugar” o la invisibilizado en unos Estados Unidos blancos tierra prometida que buscamos.

  • 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.

Vielleicht mehr als alles andere, ist die Rede davon, dass man versucht, arabische Stimmen zu gewinnen, indem man direkt mit den arabischen Bürgern kommuniziert, einen muslimischen Politiker ganz oben auf die Kandidatenliste des Likud setzt und vielleicht sogar einen muslimischen Regierungsminister ernennt.

Netanyahu is also two weeks into a four-week window to form a coalition government in the wake of Israel's March 23 elections, a mission that has proven to be elusive. There is a solution to the political mess and a huge majority of the public supports it," Netanyahu told a meeting of his Likud party's Knesset faction. "Instead of forming absurd governments, for example with a prime minister who received only seven seats in the election, there will be direct elections for prime minister," he said, alluding to Naftali Bennett, who is said to be mulling a rotation agreement with Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.

A Palestinian Authority text sent to the international peacemaking Quartet that says the Palestinians are "ready to resume direct bilateral negotiations where they stopped," in 2014. The PA said the counterproposal would be withdrawn if Israel went ahead with annexation "of any part of the Palestinian territory". "We are ready to have our state with a limited number of weapons and a powerful police force to uphold law and order," it said, adding that it would accept an international force such as NATO, mandated by the UN, to monitor compliance with any eventual peace treaty. The text also proposes "minor border changes that will have been mutually agreed, based on the borders of June 4, 1967", when Israeli forces captured the West Bank.
