Two examples of Jewish pride

This morning I read that Avner Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Netanyahu, has won the Jerusalem Bible Quiz.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview nearly a year ago that he often read the Bible together with his son.

Mazal Tov to the entire family.


A second story relating to Jewish pride were the actions of Rabbi Shmully Hecht in confronting Richard Goldstone about his report on the Gaza war.

YYN has published an article entitled Goldstone Tied to Anti-Israeli Organizations.
For those who insist the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead is an objective report card of Israel’s actions, it has been learned the honorable judge, Richard Goldstone, has ties with a number of organizations known for their anti-Israeli publications.
Yisrael HaYom reports it has been learned that six months before the UN tapped him to head the investigation into the Israeli offensive; he signed a document decrying the Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

Rabbi Shmully Hecht, advisor to Eliezer, the Jewish society at Yale University, confronted Goldstone last week when he delivered an address on campus.

Take it down now.”
