Presidential candidate John Kasich visited Borough Park the other day and lectured yeshiva students about Joseph and Joshua, biblibal figures that begin with the same first letter as his name. You can catch what he had to say in the video below. I was waiting for him to talk about the most famous J name in the New Testament and, sure enough, he spoke about him in the video which can be seen here.

As if Brussels Airport doesn't have enough problems getting back to normal service - Air Traffic Controllers' Strike Paralyzes Brussels Airport.
A New Jersey administrative law judge on Monday heard two challenges to GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz's eligibility to appear on the New Jersey ballot, based upon the Texas senator's having been born in Canada.

I saw a graphic yesterday comparing Ted Cruz with Jordanian Prince Hashim. If both have mothers who were U.S. citizens, both were born abroad and both had foreign born fathers, what is to stop the prince from becoming the U.S. President? Perhaps the prince will move to America to fulfill the 14 year resdiency requiremnt.
Anyone signing up for the President Prince Hashim campaign of 2032?

Tracht gut
How the discovery of missing girls inspired a return to Judaism
Collive reminds its readers of a similar search in 1995 in a wooded park for a lost girl who was thankfully found. Read and watch video over here.

An indelible impression
Mishpacha Magazine has an article about Dr.Yashar Hirshaut, a "top-notch oncologist."
I don't have access to the full article so I'm not sure if anything was written about the exemplary fashion in which he honored his mother. I was witness to his walking to shul in Lawrence with his aging mother. He carried a chair with him and every so often he would stop and set the chair on the ground so that his mother would be able to rest before continuing on her walk to the synagogue on Shabbat. The sight left an indelible impression on my mind and serves as a paradigm of how to fulfill the mitzvah of kibbud av va'em.

2 symbolic items
"Then shall the Kohen command to take for the person to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar-wood and red wool, and hyssop."
Why does the Metzora specifically take these items? Rashi explains, since he spoke Lashon HaRa and was high and haughty like a cedar tree, he must lower himself like a worm (Tolaas) and a hyssop (Aizov). Maskil L'David asks, why is it necessary for him to use 2 symbolic items to bring him to humility - the Tolaas Shani and the Aizov - wouldn't it have driven home the point with one?
Maskil L'David explains, although by other character traits, we say that a person should take the middle of the road, not going to an extreme on either end of the spectrum, however concerning Gaavah Chazal tell us "Miod Miod Havay Shfal Ruach" - one should be exceedingly humble. It is for that reason that 2 signs of humbleness were used - to stress that the Metzora should be exceedingly humble to atone his sin.

The New York Times has published an article titled Blaming Policy, Not Islam, for Belgium’s Radicalized Youth.
Yves Goldstein makes no excuses for Belgium’s failure to find Salah Abdeslam and the other Islamic State recruits who attacked Paris and then bombed Brussels Airport and a subway station.
The problem is not Islam, he insists, but the negligence of government officials like himself in allowing self-contained ethnic ghettos to grow unchallenged,..
...“We have neighborhoods where people only see the same people, go to school with the same people,” he said.

Have we seen people who grew up in Chinatown in a self-contained ethnic ghetto or Jews who grew up in Antwerp in insular societies, attending the same schools, blowing themselves up at airports?
