The Water Solution
This past Shabbat we read the parsha of Eikev which contains the promise from G-d that if we hearken to His commandments, "I will give the rain of your land at its time, the early rain and the latter rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil."
This morning I came across an article titled 5-year drought raises questions over Israel’s water strategy.
The drought “will be solved, there is no question,” Steinitz, the energy minister, said. “This area is not new for us. We simply resume our historic tradition to focus and find developing water solutions.”

How about resuming historic tradition and following the Commandments as a solution?

The obligation
Emuna Daily Lesson
The lesson of the fruits of Israel
Saving Rabbi Sacks
"HaKail HaGodal ViHanorah Asher lo Yisa Fanim ViLo Yikach Shochad. Oiseh Mishpat Yosoim ViAlmanah ViOhaiv Ger Losais Lohem Lechem ViSimlah; Hashem who does not show favor and does not take bribes. Who carries out judgment to orphans and widows and loves the convert to give him bread and garments." (10:17)
The Ksav Sofer says that this pasuk is a warning to people who think that just because they are fine people "Bain Adam LaChavero" - they treat others very well, this is sufficient. They don't need to be a good Jew "Bain Adam LaMokom" - their good deeds to their brethren will wipe away their sins to Hashem. The pasuk therefore says, "Asher lo Yisa Fanim ViLo Yikach Shochad" - Hashem will not take as a bribe the fact that you are, "Oiseh Mishpat Yosoim ViAlmanah ViOhaiv Ger Losais Lohem Lechem ViSimlah" - you take care of the orphans, widows and converts. Just because you are a good Jew to others, does not relinquish you of the obligation to be a good Jew to the Ribono Shel Olam, too!

Egalitarian for thee
Rabbi Speaks on Ongoing Ordeal
The New Yorker has published an article titled Israel Passes a Law Stating What’s Jewish About a “Jewish and Democratic State.”
The author writes, "Successive Netanyahu coalitions failed to pass an egalitarian conscription law that puts the same burden on Orthodox youth as it does on secular youth."
If the author is so concernd about equality, why doesn't he write "an egalitarian conscription law that puts the same burden on the Arab minority youth"?
Furthermore, he writes, "Meanwhile, Orthodox ministers in charge of the Interior Ministry under Likud governments began to apply stringently Orthodox, or halachic, standards to conversion for purposes of authorizing '“Jewish nationality.”'
Is it possible that the stringently Orthodox, halachic standards were appled to conversion for the purpose of keeping halacha?
