Whose first? Whose second? Who cares? Israel is a country that has a right to exist and defend itself. People were displaced when Israel was founded and now need a permanent home. Let’s solve the problem

The Philistines were first that is why it is called Palestine

Action and prayer belong together like Peanut & Jelly, fish & chips, mac & cheese, Taylor & Kelce , Tom & Jerry, and Kermit & Miss Piggy. Action and prayer aren’t mutually exclusive. Most of us wear a pair of socks not a sock, a pair of shoes not a shoe, actions and prayers are a team doing one does not preclude the other.

Prayer and action belong together like Taylor & Kelce

We are being tortured into thinking that we can balance our personal lives with our work. It can be done depending on your job. However the myth requires us to do what can’t be done. Isn’t that why it is a myth!

Your job will determine the work/life balance

United, Judaism will survive and prosper, divided we will do to ourselves what anti semites couldn’t! We don’t need to agree to everything, each of us can have our own solutions to problems. Unless we stop demonizing others and share our views Judaism can not and will not survive.

Reform Jews were not kidnapped and brainwashed.

Imagine by John Lennon

“You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one”

“Imagine" is not a Beatles song. It is a song written and performed by John Winston Lennon released in 1971 on his album of the same name. 

I am proud to be accused of being a dreamer 

Before we can fix Gaza with need to agree on Gaza. People are dying while we debate who is doing what to whom. Stop looking in the small rear view mirror and start looking ahead through the much larger windscreen.

Genicide or not Genicide that is not the Question!

The phrase "if you will it, it is no dream" is a famous quote by Theodor Herzl, the founder of the modern Zionist movement. It encapsulates his belief that with strong will and determination, even seemingly impossible goals, like establishing a Palestine can be achieved. Without terror, rape, murder, or kidnapping we can have 2 states the respect each others right to exist

A challenge to the UN, 2 countries coexisting in peace!

Since Rabbi Block is on vacation his AI takes his place. If this works out Rabbi Block will be permanently on vacation.

AI is coming for you next!

“Religious Freedom” 

Sacred scriptures in each tradition contain principles that can be interpreted to support religious tolerance, freedom of conscience, and respect for diverse paths to truth.

• Freedom of belief and worship
• Freedom to convert or not convert
• Respect for other traditions
• Non-coercion in matters of faith

I. Judaism

Judaism is not a proselytizing religion. It emphasizes mutual respect and ethical pluralism, accepting that non-Jews can live righteous lives within their own traditions.

II. Christianity

While missionary in outlook, Christianity’s core message emphasizes free choice and personal conviction. Religious freedom is consistent with respecting the dignity of every person.

III. Islam

Islam upholds religious freedom as a divine principle, while also maintaining its truth claims. Historically, Islamic societies recognized and protected religious minorities through legal frameworks like dhimma.

IV. Buddhism

Buddhism strongly supports freedom of conscience, rational inquiry, and tolerance toward other paths. Coercion is fundamentally incompatible with its teachings.

V. Hinduism

Hinduism celebrates diversity of belief and practice as spiritually legitimate. Religious freedom is seen as a natural reflection of cosmic pluralism

Our responsibility for caring for the world stems from our understanding of being stewards of God's creation. This resonates with the Christian concept of dominion as responsible care, the Islamic understanding of humans as Khalifah with environmental responsibilities, the Hindu reverence for nature, and the Buddhist principle of interconnectedness that demands we protect the delicate balance of life. 

We must stop destroying our home planet
