New United Israel World Union Jewish Calendar United Israel Center South to Host Shofar Factory! We are pleased to announce that United Israel World Union will be hosting a Shofar Factory at the United Israel Center South in Saint Francisville, Louisiana on Monday, September 3rd from 2-5 PM. The actual presentation will likely only take an hour, but the center will remain open for fun and fellowship after the presentation. Rabbi Mendel Rivkin, Program Director of Chabad New Orleans will be putting on the presentation. This is a family fun event. Everyone will love this Shofar Factory Workshop. We are grateful that during this busy season, Rabbi Mendel Rivkin has agreed to come to the UI Center and give his popular presentation. The workshop consists of a discussion of Shofars using visual aids such as various horns and posters. The discussion provides an overview of the historical, zoological and religious elements of the Shofar. The highlight of the program is the actual hands-on demonstration of how a Shofar is created, beginning with an unfinished horn and ending with a genuine Shofar. The demonstration is interactive, using many volunteers from the audience to saw, drill, sand and polish the horn, thereby turning it into a Shofar. Finally, the participants are then taught how to sound the Shofar as well as the proper sequence of notes sounded on Rosh Hashanah. We hope to see many of you in attendance at the UI Center South, but for those who are unable to attend in person, we are pleased to share the experience with you via Live Stream on our Facebook Page and our YouTube Channel. United Israel is offering this at no charge to ensure that anyone who wishes to participate may do so. We have already paid the fee associated with the presentation. If you would like to contribute, and are able to do so, feel free to visit our Donate page at our main website. Let us know if you will be joining us either in person, or via the Internet! Here is the link to the event on our Facebook Page (Click Facebook icon below this article). May you be inscribed and sealed for a sweet, healthy, prosperous and meaningful year of 5779! meaningful year of 5779! From the Torah The Torah reading this week, for those who follow the annual cycle of The Torah reading this week, for those who follow the annual cycle of readings is Ki Tavi (Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8). This is the sixth of seven Sabbaths of Consolation. The associated Prophet reading for this Torah Reading is found in Isaiah 60:1-22. "Remember the Torah of my servant Moses, the statutes and judgments that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel" (Malachi 4:4 English / Malachi 3:22 Hebrew). Torah Scroll Repairs In October of 2016, the UI Center South was presented with a Torah Scroll. This scroll came into the possession of United Israel World Union during Sukkot (October 17, 1965). The scroll is of Sephardic style, originally from Calcutta, India and dating to 1898. Many of the threads, which secure the pieces together have worn over time. This week I ordered the proper thread (known as gidim) in order to restore the scroll. Restoration will begin when the gidim arrives. In this photo James and Ralph are presenting the scroll at the dedication of the UI Center South. By the time I am done with the restoration, I will have carefully inspected the entire scroll. Readers of the Bulletin can read more about this Torah Scroll by reviewing, The Strange Saga of "Eddie" Abrams, the 19th in the Remembering David Horowitz Series by Ralph Buntyn. Horowitz Series by Ralph Buntyn. *It should be noted that the story of this scroll needs revision since it is now housed in the UI Center South in Saint Francisville, Louisiana. Some of you may recall that this scroll also played a part in a most unusual Bar Mitzvah ceremony for William Vandor, son of Jono and Christine Vandor. Read the story about the Bar Mitzvah that involved cooperation between people on several continents! You can also view a video of the ceremony at this link, skillfully assembled by Jason "SpiritualBabies" in Ireland. Join the Hebrew Torah Reading Team! For several years, various talented and dedicated lovers of Torah and Hebrew have worked very hard to share these affections with members of United Israel World Union. The Hebrew Torah Reading Team consists of people from around the world who gather weekly to practice reading the weekly Torah portion in Hebrew. Those who are ready to participate for Shabbat are then assigned a portion to read in one of two Shabbat readings (Erev and Boker). (Erev and Boker). The current leader and organizer of the team is Lim Chong Kiat of Perth, Western Australia although he is quick to point out that others, both past and present have aided in this project. He assumed the leadership and organization of the team some time back and hopes to bring together past and present members in an attempt to build a cohesive group all dedicated to the advancement of Torah and Hebrew. Anyone who wishes to be a part of this effort is encouraged to email the editor. Each year, the team reads through the entire Torah of Moses during the Festival of Sukkot (See Deuteronomy 31:10-13). Here is what was recently posted on the United Israel Facebook Group page soliciting people to join in this holy exercise. "Sukkot 2018 is just round the corner and as is our tradition, we will gather and take it in turn to read the entire Torah. Start time: 22 Sep 2018, 10.00AM US Central time Please sign up here. You can sign up for as many slots as you wish but it is recommended that you give yourself a break (and others a chance to read) after reading 30-45 minutes. You must have a Skype account and must add 'limchongkiat' as a contact. Once accepted as a contact, you will then be able to join the reading session at your convenience. The procedure is very simple - join the Skype call just before it's your time to read. When it's your time, just make your presence known to the ongoing reader when there's a slight pause in his/her reading e.g. at the end of a verse. The reader will then inform you as to where he/she's at and you continue reading from there until the next reader takes over from you. During your reading, feel free to announce the book and chapter when you are starting on a new chapter, so that anyone tuning in will know where you are reading from. The entire Torah reading will take 32-35 hours. You can also find the event on Facebook here. Do come and join us!!" We hope that many of you will join with our team in the fulfillment of this mitzvah!

I want to Join the HTRT Regarding Moses: An Old Sermon Revisited Revisited On August 27, 1525, 493 years ago today, a now famous Christian preacher delivered a sermon that was intended to answer the question once and for all. The sermon was entitled, How Christians Should Regard Moses. For several years, on the anniversary of this sermon, I have published this article with slight edits and am doing so yet again this year. I originally wrote this for the growing number of Christians who have decided, based upon their own studies of Scripture that the Torah has significance for their lives. How should Christians regard Moses? Are his words beneficial for the followers of Jesus? What of his laws? Are they contrary to faith? Have they been done away with? The Sermon The preacher set out to show that God gave only two public sermons from heaven.

  • The Holocaust: Factor in the Birth of Israel? by Evyatar Friesel
    The Holocaust: Factor in the Birth of Israel? by Evyatar Friesel It is widely believed that the catastrophe of European Jewry during World War II had a decisive influence on the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948. According to this thesis, for the Jews the Holocaust triggered a supreme effort toward statehood, based on the understanding that only a Jewish state might again avoid the horrors of the 1940s. For the nations of the world, shocked by the horror of the extermination and burdened by feelings of guilt, the Holocaust convinced them that the Jews were entitled to a state of their own. All these assumptions seem extremely doubtful. They deserve careful re-examination in light of the historical evidence. Statehood in Zionist Thought The quest for a Jewish state had always been paramount in Zionist thought and action. For tactical reasons official Zionism was cautious in explaining its ultimate aims, especially when addressing general public opinion. Terms other than "state" were used in various political documents or official utterances by leading Zionist statesmen: Jewish home, Jewish National Home, commonwealth, Jewish commonwealth. But there is no reason to doubt that the ultimate aim of the Zionist mainstream was the creation of a state in Palestine. The question remained as to what methods should be used in order to reach the consummation of these hopes. One possibility was the evolutionary path, implied also in the political relations between the Zionists and leading British statesmen between 1917 and 1920. It found implicit expression in the terms and the structure of the Palestine Mandate approved by the League of Nations in July 1922.

  • The History of Bible Students As Early Christian Advocates of Zionism
    The History of Bible Students as Early Christian Advocates of Zionism Pastor Russell Address to Jewish Mass Meeting • Ne w York • October 9, 1910 History of Bible Students as Early Christian Advocates of Zionism Introduction Before Herzl there were Bible Students. In 1895 Theodore Herzl published Der Judenstaat and two years later organized the world’s First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. Undoubtedly, Herzl impacted the world Jewish community much more profoundly during his brief and glorious career, but the Bible Students under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell were already encouraging Jews to find a national home in Eretz Israel in 1879. The Bible Students support for a national homeland for Israel was not a popular Christian message at the time. Most Christians were then as now still trying to make Jews into Christians. Bible Students today have followed Russell’s legacy of enthusiastic, non-proselytizing Zionism. In endorsing the book, “Pastor Charles Taze Russell, An Early American Christian Zionist,” Benjamin Netanyahu said, “David Horowitz sets the record straight about the beliefs and achievements of Charles Taze Russell. A recognition of Pastor Russell’s important role as an early American Christian advocate of Zionism is long overdue.” However, at times due to inaccurate media coverage, Bible Students have been wrongly confused with other Christian denominations with their different beliefs and different agendas for the Jewish People. These misrepresentations have been fed and repeated over the years by some of the clergy, who -- quite frankly -- have been bent on tarnishing the historical Zionist record of the Bible Students. This antagonism probably is to be expected because Bible Students feel the Jewish People own a separate destiny, unique and distinct from Christians.

  • A Historiographic Review of Literature on the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict "
    "A Historiographic Review of Literature on the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict " by Kenneth W. Stein in THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW DECEMBER 1991 VOL 96 NUMBER 5, pp. 1450-1465 A recently completed study analyzed the status of Middle Eastern history in colleges and universities in the United States. It revealed that American and European historians have maintained an imposing preponderance within academic departments of history. Curriculum and scholarship about "Third World" countries continue to be represented by proportionately few historians. Furthermore, within the "Third World" area, there are fewer teaching positions for the Middle East than for Africa, East Asia, or Latin America. 1 In North America and Western Europe, academic centers for the study of the Middle East developed slowly after World War II. Studying and teaching Middle Eastern history took place at a limited number of institutions, introduced only as adjuncts to the coursework on Semitic languages, philology, or religion. Today, the number of properly trained Middle Eastern historians remains low, partly because of the challenging requirements of intricate foreign languages, the prolonged time needed to complete a doctorate, and lower remuneration than in alternative job opportunities for those with a Middle Eastern academic interest. In comparison to other fields of historical study, Middle Eastern history is a relatively young specialty, sparsely populated, and undeveloped in range and depth of scholarly publications. Since Middle Eastern historians are few in number, they are usually responsible for teaching regional courses that require broad historical coverage and often encompass issues that range chronologically from the Prophet Muhammad's life to Ayatollah Khomeini's death.

  • NEGOTIATING TRUTH: the HOLOCAUST, LEHAVDIL, Ian S. Lustick
    NEGOTIATING TRUTH: THE HOLOCAUST, LEHAVDIL, AND AL-NAKBA' Ian S. Lustick s Americans are accustomed to remembering the "quagmire" of Vietnam, so A Israelis have referred, since the debacle of the 1982 Lebanon War and its eighteen-year aftermath, to the "Lebanese mud." Many critics of Israel's recent adventure in Lebanon have bemoaned Israel's return to ha-hotz ha-Levanoni, where no matter how heroic or massive are the Jewish state's exertions, and no matter how justified they may appear to Israelis desperate to feel safe in a hostile neighborhood, the result is the same—Israel sinks deeper into a morass of destruction and blood- shed, planting thereby the seeds for greater threats against it in the future. Over two generations, the question of Palestine had become, via Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) achievements and failures, wars and armistices, treaties and peace processes, intifadas and limited withdrawals, a matter of dividing historical Palestine so that Palestinians could establish a sustainable national exis- tence. By gaining Israeli evacuation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, captured by Israel in the 1967 war, it was widely believed, or at least hoped, that the Middle East was being made safe for a general Arab, if not Muslim, willingness to accept Israel as a demographically Jewish state in the region. It is commonplace for peacemakers in the Middle East to wonder if the extent of Israeli settlement activity in the Palestinian territories, the separation barrier erected along and through the West Bank, the dynamics of internal Israeli politics, and/or the inefficacy of Palestinian leadership, has rendered a workable "two-state solution" impossible.
