That was the good news. But there was also bad news. The Egypt, Sinai, and the Promised Land from Space Egypt is on the left side of this picture with the Nile River emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Goshen, where the children of Israel were held in bondage, was in the eastern region of the delta of the Nile River. The Sinai Desert is the peninsula on the north end of the Red Sea. The Promised Land is the green area along the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea to the north of Sinai. The nearest rout to the Promised Land from Goshen would have been to follow the coast line from Goshen to the Promised Land. However, the Lord lead Israel through the Red Sea into the Sinai Desert. In the desert was a mountain named Horeb–known as the mountain of God. It is often called Mt. Sinai. It was to here that Moses was to lead the children of Israel (see Ex. 3:12; 19: 1-2) Egyptians began to fear the size of the Israelites, yet, at the Jethro, the priest of Midian and a descendent of Abraham same time, they saw Israel as a valuable commodity of through Keturah, Abraham’s third wife (Gen. 25:1-4).

They were like salt that has “was not consumed.” He told Moses, “Draw not nigh hither: lost its savor. The Lord has said: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou When men are called unto mine everlasting gospel, standest is holy ground.” Truly this was no ordinary mountain and covenant with an everlasting covenant, they are but the “mountain of God” or the Lord’s holy temple or accounted as the salt of the earth and the savor of men; dwelling place (Ex. 1:1-5). The Lord introduced himself to Moses, saying, “I am the They are called to be the savor of men; therefore, if God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, that salt of the earth lose its savor, behold, it is and the God of Jacob.” recalling the Abrahamic covenant. thenceforth good for nothing only to be cast out and He then told Moses that he was to return to Egypt and bring trodden under the feet of men.

To Pharaoh, Moses said, “Thus saith the Lord God 2:24-25).

  • The Land of Israel's Loyalty to the Jewish People
    The Land of Israel’s Loyalty to the Jewish People by Rabbi Chaim Jachter As Parashat Behukotai and the book of Vayikra draw to a close, Hashem delivers a stinging rebuke and warning to our people. This rebuke, known as the Tochahah is the first of two such rebukes in the Humash (the second being towards the end of Sefer Devarim). This section contains a series of frighteningly prophetic descriptions of the tragedies that will befall the nation should they fail to follow God’s ways. Indeed, so frightening is this Tochachah that Torah is read this section in a lower voice. There are even some synagogues where the rabbi or Torah reader is called for the Aliyah that contains the Tochachah, as some would rather avoid being called for this Aliyah. In the midst of the very dark cloud of these warnings of punishment and exile in Parashat Behukotai we find a silver lining. The Torah promises (Vayikra 26:32) that after our people will be exiled from our land, our enemies will fail in their endeavors to settle the land. Ramban, writing in the twelfth century, notes that this is an extraordinary promise to us as there is no other place on earth that at one time was settled, lush and fertile but is now utterly desolate and destroyed. He observes that this promise has most obviously been fulfilled in that from the time we left our land, it has not accepted any other nation, despite their many efforts to develop the land. Indeed, the Romans, Arabs, Crusaders and Ottomans failed miserably in their efforts to settle the land of Israel.

Introduction “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land” (Gen 12:7a). With these words God brought his promises to a climax. He had already promised to bless Abraham, to make him a great nation, and to bless the world through him (Gen 12:2-3). The land would be the place that gave concrete shape to fulfillment. These promises to Abraham address the degenerate state of the human race depicted in Genesis 1-11.

  • “The Sorrows of Egypt,” Revisited in Knowledge He Sought Years Idol Masses
    A HOOVER INSTITUTION ESSAY on A us strateGIC vision in A CHANGING WORLD “The Sorrows of Egypt,” Revisited SAMUEL TADROS The sorrow of Egypt is made of entirely different material: the steady decline of its public life, the inability of an autocratic regime and of the middle class from which this regime issues to rid the country of its dependence on foreign handouts, to transmit to the vast underclass the skills needed for the economic competition of nations; to take the country beyond its endless alternations between glory and self-pity. (Fouad Ajami, “The Sorrows of Egypt”) In his authoritative 1995 essay “The Sorrows of Egypt,”1 Fouad Ajami, with the knowledge and experience of someone who had known Egypt intimately, and the spirit and pen of a poet who had come to love the place, attempted to delve deeply into what ailed the ancient land. The essay moved masterfully from the political to the social and Islamism and the International Order International the and Islamism from the religious to the economic, weaving an exquisite tapestry of a land of sorrows. This was not the first time that Ajami had approached Egypt. The country his generation had grown up knowing was the Egypt of promise and excitement, where Gamal Abdel Nasser’s towering presence and deep voice had captivated millions of Arabic speakers. Ajami had been one of those young men. He had made the pilgrimage to Damascus, watching and cheering as Nasser made his triumphant entry into the city in 1958, crowned as the idol of the Arabs by adoring masses.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

  • Sudan 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    SUDAN 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary On August 17, following the April ouster of President Omar al-Bashir after months of popular protests and a military takeover, the Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the opposition coalition, known as the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC), signed an interim constitutional declaration that includes several provisions protecting the right to freedom of religious belief and worship “in accordance with the requirements of the law and public order.” It makes no reference to sharia as a source of law, as was the case under the former 2005 constitution. The FFC announced that laws promulgated under the former constitution would remain in effect while the civilian-led transitional government (CLTG) worked to amend or abolish those laws and pass new legislation within the framework of the interim constitutional declaration. Some of the laws and practices established by the Bashir administration were based on its government’s interpretation of a sharia system of jurisprudence, which human rights groups stated did not provide protections for some religious minorities, including minority Muslim groups. The law criminalizes apostasy, blasphemy, conversion from Islam to another religion, and questioning or criticizing the Quran, the Sahaba (the Companions of the Prophet), or the wives of the Prophet. The law does not specifically address proselytizing; however, the Bashir government criminally defined and prosecuted proselytizing as a form of apostasy. While the law does not prohibit the practice of Shia Islam, during the Bashir regime authorities took actions against Shia Muslims. Security services used tear gas, rubber bullets, and other means to disperse groups of worshippers at mosques who were participating in antigovernment protests in February the first half of the year, in response to what the government said was the political nature of their activity.
