At fault
Watch: Frum Wall Street Journal Reporter Greg Zuckerman Describes Not Working On Shabbos
The Times of Israel has an article regarding some thoughts expressed by Conservatice and Reform clergy members at the DNC. One spoke about the commandment "“Remember what Amalek did to you.”
“The core teaching is that it wasn’t Amalek who was at fault, it was us, because we, the community allowed there to be stragglers to fall behind at the rear,” Pesner said. “The test of a community, the challenge to a nation, the mandate for humanity is to never allow there to be stragglers.”
An article by Rabbi Farhi cites a thought from the Rebbe from Pasishche regarding the commandment, as well as the nation of Amalek.
The Rebbe would say that Amalek does not just strike. He tries to look for where there is no unity or community. This is the very characteristic of Amalek, as we can openly see in the words that our Rabbis termed the greatest slander that Haman was able to use against us:ישנו עם אחד מפוזר ומפורד בין העמים There is a certain people, scattered and dispersed … (Esther 3:8) Our weakness, our lack of unity was and is Amalek’s power against us.
http://thinkingaboutme.org/tezaveh-zachor/
Perhaps the individual who offered the interpretation regarding Amalek at the DNC might check Rabbi Farhi's interpretation and contribute to the unity of the Jewish people by joining traditional Judaism which his movement broke away from.

Israel Matzav has a video of Governor Mike Pence defending Israel in strong terms.
FreeBeacon, in an article titled Clinton Running Mate Tim Kaine’s Record on Israel Under Fire, reported that "Kaine was one of nine Democratic senators to boycott Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in March 2015."
J Street has a post titled J Street Applauds Vice Presidential Pick Tim Kaine in which they congratulate "Senator Tim Kaine on his selection as the Democratic candidate for Vice President of the United States. In the course of his lengthy career in public service, Senator Kaine has proven himself to be a great friend of Israel.."

The "T" word
Couple Has Miraculous Baby Story - “You should try to get brachos from Yidden. They help."
I Recorded My Yechidus...
Emuna Daily lesson
Yesterday Free Beacon published an article titled Congressman: Jewish Settlers Are Like Termites.
Today Congressman Hank Johnson apologized for his Israeli settlement comments.
"J Street welcomes Congressman Hank Johnson's clarification regarding his remarks today about the Israeli settlement enterprise during a panel held outside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. ...The Free Beacon and its headline writers have, as is their habit, taken irresponsible liberties with the words actually spoken in an effort to advance their political agenda.
The proper focus of media coverage here should be on the growing political opposition to Israeli settlement growth and not on the misrepresentations by an irresponsible media outlet." http://jstreet.org/blog/post/j-street-welcomes-rep-johnson-clarification-of-remarks-_1
A few years ago, the congressman apologized for using the "M" word. (midget) The use of the "N" word is no longer socially acceptable, the use of the "M" word is no longer socially acceptable and now the use of the "T" word will no longer be socially acceptable. Should we ban all letters of the alphabet?
Ynet has an article titled Summer of Love: US Jews come to Israel looking for a partner.
The article focuses on three individuals seeking partners in Israel. I thought there were two errors in the article. At first, when I read about a new Israeli named Yehuda searching for his dream husband, I thought perhaps the name was Yehudis and not Yehuda. However, his name is indeed Yehuda. The article also features Shayna.
"Knowing that many Israeli men had served in the army gives her a sense of security, and that her favorite thing about Israeli men is their tendency to cease the moment."
My question is how do they cease the moment? How do they terminate it? Are they like termites who eat up the moment?

This teaches us that when you are Kana'i (zealot) you should be prepared to spend your life alone. People do not have the courage to fight for what is right and even if they start out behind you by time you turn around they will be gone.

Weapon of choice
Eisav's weapon given to him by Yitzchok is the sword, while Yaakov was given the power of the mouth through tefila. A Malach's power is like Yaakov, a spiritual strength to physically destroy. In this odd showdown between Bilam the Goy and the Malach we find Bilam on his way to attempt to wipe out Bnei Yisroel with his mouth by cursing them. Lo and behold we find the Malach blocking Bilam's way holding a sword in his hand; not normally his weapon of choice. The Malach was showing Bilam that he is using the wrong weapon to try and fight Klal Yisroel and it wouldn't work.
A Remez for this odd confrontation says Rav Moshe Singer shlit"a can be found in the passuk "Hashem Nitzav BaDerech V'Charboi Shlufa BiYadoi"; (A Malach of) Hashem stood in the way with a sword in his hand . The Roshei Teivos spell out the word "B'Shnui"; a change. A Remez to the reversal of weaponry.

It would give us pause
Below are a few questions and answers posed at the July 19th State Department briefing.
QUESTION: I’m wondering if you have seen or you’re aware of this beheading of a child by a group that is supported by the United States.
QUESTION: Is this the kind of thing that would affect assistance, U.S. assistance to this specific group but also just in general to the FSA?
MR TONER: Well, I think we’d take a – if, as you said, if we can prove that this was indeed what happened and this group was involved in it, I think it would certainly give us pause.
QUESTION: The prime minister of Israel has complained rather forcefully about a monument that the PA just erected to a person who the Israelis say is a terrorist, who was also responsible for killing an American citizen. I’m wondering if you have any thoughts about that.
MR TONER: Matt, I don’t have any particular – I’m just – I wasn’t aware of that. I mean, I would – I mean, my response in general would be obviously we don’t want to see any kind of efforts to glorify any individuals who are involved in any acts of terrorism. But I don’t know specific – I’d have to get more specifics about this monument.
A Haaretz article begins with the words, "A 12-year-old boy from the West Bank village of Al-Ram was killed by gunfire during clashes with Israeli forces, the Palestinian Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
Israel's military and Border Police denied using live fire in the area and speculated that the boy's death was a result of a local dispute between rival families."
Haaretz quotes residents of the village as contradicting the Palestinian Health Ministry statement. Read more: http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.732143
Although there are two sides to the story, headlines seem to favor one version - Palestinian boy killed during clash with Israeli troops in West Bank: Palestinians
At least 56 civilians were reported killed on Tuesday in airstrikes north of the besieged Islamic State-held city of Manbij in northern Syria, and residents said they believed the attack was carried out by aircraft from the United States-led coalition, a monitoring group said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the dead included 11 children, and that dozens more people were wounded.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/world/middleeast/islamic-state-airstrikes-syria-civilian-casualties.html?_r=0
The State department hasn't issued a statement that it is appalled by the disgraceful airstikes. "The suspicion that militants are operating nearby does not justify strikes that put at risk the lives of so many innocent civilians." That statement is only reserved for Israel. - Does anyone remember an article from last year titled WATCH: AP grills State Department for double standards against Israel in light of Afghan bombing?

Jews of Nice spend solemn Shabbat mourning terror victims
Rabbi Lazer Brody: The Connection Between Nice Attack and the 9th of Tammuz
The JPost reports on a comment made by Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence 18 months ago, "“If the world knows nothing else, let it know this: America stands with Israel.”
Linda Sarsour has a fundraising page to help her get to the Democratic National convention in Philadelphia since she was selected as a New York delegate. Her views on Israel can be heard here.
Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street opines about the platforms of the Republican and Democrat parties.
Yet while the progress in the Democratic Party is an encouraging sign for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans, changes in the Republican Party platform are a sobering reminder that irresponsible and extreme ideas are gaining traction on the American political right.

UNESCO head backs Israel: Ignoring Jewish, Christian ties to Jerusalem harms its cultural status
Below is an excerpt from the July 15th State Department Briefing regarding the attack in Nice.
QUESTION: On the same topic, I mean, while this horrible terrorist attack seems to have been conducted by a lone wolf – the term “lone wolf” and so on – all indications or all information show that the mosques in places like Nice and Marseille and Paris and others that are really funded and supported by many of your allies, mainly in the gulf – they basically sort of instigate that kind of rhetoric and so on. And my question to you that I’ve asked in the past as well: Why can’t the United States get its allies to commit to tone down that kind of rhetoric in these major mosques that really prey on the vulnerable and the weak, on the non-belonging and so on.
MS TRUDEAU: So I’ve – I guess I – sort of three-part answer to that, and hold me accountable for all three, okay. First one: This is not Islam. This is not Muslims. Let’s be very clear on that, and I don’t – I want to put that out point-blank. Whatever motivated this individual to do that attack, it’s not Islam.

MS TRUDEAU: So I’ve – I guess I – sort of three-part answer to that, and hold me accountable for all three, okay. First one: This is not Islam. This is not Muslims. Let’s be very clear on that, and I don’t – I want to put that out point-blank. Whatever motivated this individual to do that attack, it’s not Islam.

July 14 - before the attack,
France will not extend the state of emergency imposed after last year's Islamist militant attacks in Paris in November beyond 26 July, President Francois Hollande has announced.
The president said in his traditional Bastille Day interview that it would not make sense for the emergency to be extended indefinitely.
That would mean the rule of law "no longer applied", Mr Hollande said.

July 15 - after the attack,
In a press conference on Friday morning, Hollande said "the state of emergency was extended in the country for three months beyond July 26".

Why Only a Few Drops of Water Came from the Rock
In March 2015, Hillary Clinton stated, "Third, after I left office, the State Department asked former secretaries of state for our assistance in providing copies of work-related emails from our personal accounts. I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related, which totaled roughly 55,000 printed pages..." You can view her speaking over here.
Is all work related emails were turned over, why was this question posed in yesterday's State Department briefing?
QUESTION: And the FBI is going to give them to you, the ones that they found that weren’t turned over, and the question was whether or not you guys are going to release those as you did with the original 55,000.
Other questions posed yesterday included the following:
QUESTION: Are you aware of the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York against Facebook for $1 billion allegedly for being a Hamas tool? Are you aware of that? Do you have any comment?
When asked about a report from the Hill committee on OneVoice referencing to the consulate general in Jerusalem deleting email that related to this grant, State Department Spokesperosn Mark Toner responded, " Michael Ratney was working, frankly, under State Department’s IT limitations – let me put it that way – with regard to the size of his in-box. And this is something that many of us have grappled with and continue to grapple with. And his deletion of any emails was simply – how do I put it – content-neutral housekeeping."
QUESTION: All right, okay. Then last one on Israel, and that is: I’m wondering if these comments by the guy who’s been named to be the chief rabbi of the IDF – he’s made some pretty controversial comments – have these hit your radar at all? Do you have anything to say about it?

The other day I posted about how the 13 Principles of the Rambam begins with the words "Ani Maamin- I believe" but nowhere does it say "I understand." A friend told me that the badchan, Yonasan Schwartz, sings (in Yiddish) about it and I found the words in the beginning of a clip featuring an album of his.

Hillary Clinton: Too Big To Jail
"Zois Chukas HaTorah... ViYikchu Aylecha Parah Adumah"; This is the statute of the Torah... and they shall take to you a Parah Adumah. Why does it say, "Zois Chukas HaTorah" - "This is the statute of the Torah" - instead of "Zois Chukas Parah Adumah" - "This is the statute of the Parah Adumah"?
The laws concerning the Parah Adumah are paradoxical. On the one hand, when the mixture is sprinkled, a person who is Tamai becomes Tahor. On the other hand, those who are involved in the preparation of the Parah Adumah become Tamai.
The people appointed to prepare the Parah Adumah may rationally argue, "Why should we become Tamai for the sake of those who were not careful to avoid contact with a corpse"? Through the Chok of Parah Adumah, the Torah is teaching that a Jew must help another Jew even if reqires sacrifice. This is "Chukas HaTorah" - "a basic principle of Torah" - and though we may not easily comprehend it, we must practice it in our daily lives.

A lapse of emunah
How can we say that Parah Adumah is a Chok and it has no reason? Rashi says in the name of Rebbi Moshe Hadarshan that the Parah Adumah is a Kapara for the Chet HaEgel. The mother cow comes and cleans up the mess of its calf. Is cleaning up our greatest aveira not reason enough?
The answer given by the mefarshim is that the Chet HaEgel was a lapse of emunah on the part of the Bnei Yisroel. Since they could not comprehend what was happening they demanded an intermediary that can help them. They refused to rely on Hashem. They wanted to see and understand their direction. Therefore by accepting the mitzva of Parah Adumah without understanding it rectifies the Chet HaEgel. The kapara of Chet HaEgel is a by product of a mitzva without a reason and not the reason itself.

A friend told me that she went to be menachem aveil someone who had just lost her husband. She told her that the Rambam has 13 Principles of emunah beginning with the words "Ani Maamin." There is not one principle starting with "Ani Mayvin."

Hu Haya Omer
Hillary Clinton vs. James Comey: Email Scandal Supercut
The video above compares what Hillary Clinton said with what James Comey said. Yesterday I heard someone speaking about Pirkei Avot and she asked the question, "Why does it say "Hu Haya Omer" as opposed to "Hu Amar"? Below are two explanations.
Whenever a statement in Pirke’ Avos is introduced with the words, “He used to say”-“Hu Haya Omer” the Rav Bartenura, explains it to mean that he said it frequently and repeatedly... Another explanation can be gleaned from the opposite of the following bizarre example:
A young doctor gave an amazingly clear presentation about the dangers associated with cigarette smoking. Everyone left the auditorium so inspired, informed, and impressed that it would be hard to imagine that anyone who witnessed the talk could ever touch one of those tobacco sticks. Yet the very next day that same doctor was spotted in the street dragging shamelessly on a cigarette. When approached and reproached with both shock and dismay he responded in a cavalier fashion... So said this doctor, “What do you want from me? That was a lecture!”
Whenever the Mishne says, “Hu Haya Omer-He used to say” it may be read more literally, “He was what he spoke!”

Becker, a father of four children, feels the timing was right.
“I think I’m a much better coach now at 48 than I would have been at 38, because at 38, it was still a lot about me,” Becker said. “Now, the kids have grown older, so you become a little more mature, a little more about everybody else than you.

The environment of fear
Parshas Shelach - A Divine Track Record
Parshas Shelach - For The Love of Our Land
Continuing violence, terrorism and incitement, settlement expansion, and the Palestinian Authority’s lack of control of Gaza are hurting the Middle East peace process, the United Nations envoy today said summarizing the first ever report by the diplomatic Quartet – comprising the United Nations, Russia, the United States and the European Union – to the Security Council.
“The main objective of this report is not about assigning blame,” Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told the 15-member council.
...The Security Council met amid fresh violence in the region. Just a few hours earlier, a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death by a Palestinian at her home in West Bank. Earlier in the month, four Israelis died in an attack in Tel Aviv, and a Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli Security Forces on a highway.
“All three incidents clearly illustrate the environment of fear in which both Palestinians and Israelis have lived for generations,” Mr. Mladenov said.
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=54370#.V3YbD_mLTIV
This morning the JPost reported Female terrorist shot, killed following thwarted terror attack in Hebron.
Perhaps this incident can be added to the Quartet's report to illustrate the Palestinians living in fear of being shot.
Obama Administration Wants to Keep Clinton Foundation Emails Hidden Until Late 2018
This past week, the President tweeted, "After more than 100 days, the Supreme Court still needs its 9th judge, but the Senate GOP refuses to do its job and consider Judge Garland."
If it takes roughly 800 days to produce email correspondence, should it not take longer to vet a Supreme Court nominee?
