Kedoshim 5776: "Baseless Love Or Solidarity?"
!1 of 3! Rabbi David Wolkenfeld ASBI Congregation Kedoshim 5776 Baseless Love or Solidarity? History is important, not only as it occurs and is recorded, but also as it is remembered and retold. Sometimes old and well known stories get told in new ways. And, sometimes an event from the distant past, for example the election of 1800 or the Hamilton - Burr duel, can become newly relevant to our own contemporary context, when told in a new and contemporary way. And, in that vein, I want to tell a story that many of you heard recently from the consul-general from the era of Israel’s birth. But I want to interrogate that story and understand what it may have meant 68 years ago, and what it can mean today. During the terrible siege of Gush Etzion during the early months of Israel’s War of Independence, a cow in Kibbutz K’far Etzion was killed. As you may know, a cow that is killed in a violent way rather than through ritual shechitah is considered a tereifah. It cannot be eaten. However, the members of Kibbutz K’far Etzion, a religious kibbutz in which a number of young Torah scholars lived and worked, decided that although the situation was not sufficiently dire to warrant eating trayf meat, it was sufficiently dire to send the meat to the neighboring Kibbutz Revadim, a radical secular kibbutz affiliated with the leftist HaShomer Ha’Tzair Zionist movement. Under cover of darkness, a cart laden with trayf meat made its way from Kibbutz K’far Etzion to Kibbutz Revadim. -

Suicide Terrorists in the Current Conflict

During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation. -

Samuel Neaman Eretz Israel from Inside and Out Samuel Neaman Reflections In this book, the author Samuel (Sam) Neaman illustrates a part of his life story that lasted over more that three decades during the 20th century - in Eretz Israel, France, Syria, in WWII battlefronts, in Great Britain,the U.S., Canada, Mexico and in South American states. This is a life story told by the person himself and is being read with bated breath, sometimes hard to believe but nevertheless utterly true. Neaman was born in 1913, but most of his life he spent outside the country and the state he was born in ERETZ and for which he fought and which he served faithfully for many years. Therefore, his point of view is from both outside and inside and apart from • the love he expresses towards the country, he also criticizes what is going ERETZ ISRAELFROMINSIDEANDOUT here. In Israel the author is well known for the reknowned Samuel Neaman ISRAEL Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology which is located at the Technion in Haifa. This institute was established by Neaman and he was directly and personally involved in all its management until he passed away a few years ago. Samuel Neaman did much for Israel’s security and FROM as a token of appreciation, all IDF’s chiefs of staff have signed a a megila. Among the signers of the megila there were: Ig’al Yadin, Mordechai Mak- lef, Moshe Dayan, Haim Laskov, Zvi Zur, Izhak Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, David INSIDE El’arar, and Mordechai Gur. -
