A few drops
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?

I don't understand
House Hearing Highlights Palestinian Authority’s System of Financially Rewarding Terror
Israel approves contentious NGO foreign funding law - BreakingNews.com is a site that offers short headlines with links to breaking news. The site posted, "Israel approves contentious NGO foreign funding law, parliament says - AFP" - Did the Parliament really say that they passed a contentious law?
Restrictions against Pollard are 'vindictive', his lawyers claim
Emuna Daily lesson
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.

Pnei Moshiach
Mixing Moshiach’s Cup
‘The NEXT TARGET is the Republican National CONVENTION!’ – Rush predicts more BLM attacks
Watch: “Mekablin Pnei Moshiach” Event in Kikar Rabin, Tel Aviv
Chadrei Charedim has a clip about Rav Elyashiv. At the end of the clip, Rav Dov Halbertal states, "A journalist once asked me. 400,000 people were at the funeral? That's incredible. I said, "Do you know why 400,000 people were there? Because that man who was escorted by 400,000 people didn't care if there were two people at his funeral of if no one had ever heard of him."

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."
