  • Tashlikh Prayers Micah 7
    Tashlikh Prayers Hashiveinu, Hashiveinu, Adonai eilecha V’nashuvah, v’nashuvah. Chadeish, chadeish, Yameinu k’kedem. Help us to return to You, O God; then truly shall we return. Renew our days as in the past. * * * * * Tashlikh means “you will throw.” On Rosh Hashanah, we ask God to throw away the mistakes we’ve made this year. As we stand at the edge of the water, we shake loose the mistakes of the past year and everything we do not like about ourselves. We ask God to allow these mistakes to be washed away. Micah 7 18] Who is a God like You, Forgiving errors, Excusing mistakes; Who doesn’t stay angry With Your people Israel Because You love kindness. 19] You will take us back in love; You will forgive our mistakes, You will throw all our sins Into the depths of the sea. We take a moment to think about the mistakes we made this year, the things we’d like to throw away: We have made mistakes on purpose. We have made mistakes by not caring. We have made mistakes by accident. We have made mistakes by using words carelessly. We have made mistakes by using words to cause pain. Some Jews used to jump into the water and swim like fish to wash away their sins. Others floated candles on the water. Today, we throw stones into the water. As they sink away, we ask God to help us say we’re sorry for the mistakes we’ve made. We have made mistakes by being sneaky. We have made mistakes by hurting others.

  • A New Era in Israel-Gulf State Relations?
    A New Era in Israel-Gulf State Relations? by Dr. Edy Cohen BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,148, April 22, 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Many in the Gulf are beginning to grasp that their support for the Palestinians is detrimental to their own interests. In addition to practical considerations, the fact that the Palestinians have grown closer to Iran has sparked ire in many Gulf states, which see the Islamist regime as an enemy and the Palestinians’ increasingly close ties with Tehran as a betrayal. United Arab Emirates FM Anwar Gargash was recently quoted by the English- language Abu Dhabi newspaper The National as saying, “Many, many years ago, when there was an Arab decision not to have contact with Israel, that was a very, very wrong decision, looking back.” He predicted increased contacts between Israel and Arab states and called for a “strategic shift” in Arab-Israeli relations ties that would enable “progress on the peace front” between Israel and the Palestinians. There is no doubt that Gargash’s remarks were made with the encouragement and guidance of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan. In Arab states, it is not customary to make statements in support of Israel without the knowledge and approval of those in command. This is not the first time senior Arab Gulf state officials have expressed support for Israel. Bahrain’s FM has been known to take to Twitter to issue pro-Israel and anti- Iran statements. Last fall, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was given the royal treatment when he visited Oman together with the head of the Mossad, Yossi Cohen.

Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace 633 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20004 www.centerpeace.org ● Yoni Komorov, Editor ● David Abreu, Associate Editor News Excerpts December 8, 2015 U.S. News U.S. Donors Pump Millions Into Israeli Settlements Private American donors have pumped more than $220 million into Jewish West Bank settlements in recent years through tax-deductible donations, effectively subsidizing a policy opposed by U.S. administrations for decades. Some 50 U.S. nonprofit organizations were raising funds for settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip. The money's tax-deductible status means the U.S. government "is incentivizing and indirectly supporting the Israeli settlement movement," even though the US opposes settlement construction as it is an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians. See also, “U.S. Donors Gave Settlements Over $220 Million in Tax-Exempt Funds Over Five Years” (Ha'aretz) Ha’aretz Netanyahu Names Yossi Cohen as Next Mossad Chief National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen will be the next head of the Mossad intelligence agency, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday night.

The 13th תִ ְכ ֶלה ׁשָ נָ ה ְו ְק ְל ֶלֹותיהָ A ot Ketanah carries the refrain ָאחָ ֹות ְק טַ ָ נ ה (century Spanish piyyut (liturgical poem loteha—let the year and her curses end. For so many in the world, individuals and׳tikhleh shanah v’kil communities, this past year has been a year of pain. We saw loved ones die, we saw communities cease to meet in person, and we saw the fabric of our lives drastically shift. All of us—ourselves, our families, our communities, our world—are in need of some hit· adshut, some renewal. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays that we usually celebrate in their fullness in a synagogue community. We often see the same people, hear the same melodies, and connect to the same texts. Yet this year, many of us find ourselves not going to synagogue and not having the same High Holy Day experience we were expecting. Our hope is to provide an at-home experience to bridge the gap between what we usually do at shul and what we usually do at home. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly, interactive ritual for you to do at home with family and/or friends or over Zoom with a small group of others.

He is currently Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre. His latest book is entitled Enemies and Neighbours: Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917–2017. Abstract For over a decade Israel has been strengthening links with Arab Gulf states with which it has no diplomatic relations. Evidence of a convergence of Israel’s stra- tegic views with those of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain has accumulated as all displayed hostility to Iran’s regional ambitions and to United States President Barack Obama’s policies during the Arab Spring.
