Judges - Chapter 1
Laying the Groundwork
Following the death of Joshua, the Jews consulted G-d via the Urim and Tumim to see which Tribe should be the first to conquer remaining Canaanite pockets within their territory. The first role fell to the Tribe of Judah. Judah invited Simeon to join them as Simeon's cities were scattered throughout the portion of Judah. (Refer back to the Book of Joshua.)
Judah captured the Canaanite king named Adoni-Bezek and cut off his thumbs and big toes. This kind of mutilation is unprecedented in Jewish warfare, but it was Divinely mandated as an appropriate punishment. Adoni-Bezek related that he had done likewise to kings he conquered, forcing them to scavenge for scraps under his table, like dogs. Because of his confession, the Jews kept him alive and brought him back to Jerusalem.
At this time, Caleb offered his daughter Achasah as a wife to whoever could rid Hebron of its giants. This was accomplished by his half-brother Osniel. (More about him a little later on.) This is one of the cases cited by the Midrash as an example of someone making a condition that could have gone horribly wrong, but turned out okay. The conditions of Eliezer (to find a wife for Yitzchak in parshas Chayei Sarah) and Saul (to marry off his daughter in I Samuel 17) also turned out okay. Contrast these with the story of Yiftach in a few chapters - that one did NOT end well. (We'll see all the details in Chapter 11, G-d willing.) Why did G-d assist Eliezer, Saul and Caleb? They were using their conditions to make shidduchim (match-making). Yiftach wasn't, so he lacked that extra protection.
The chapter ends with a list of Tribes and the cities from where they did not expel the Canaanite nations, a fact that is about to become extremely significant.
A short Insight into Judges, Chapter 1
Chazal teach us that Yisro, Bilam, and Iyov were the three advisers of Paroh. When Paroh wanted to come up with a strategy how to deal with the Jews, he turned to his advisers. Yisro was the only adviser to object to a plan which would deal harshly with B'nei Yisroel. As a result, Paroh wanted to kill Yisro. Thus, Yisro fled. As a reward for his righteous and selfless advice to Paroh, Yisro merited to have descendants who would likewise give counsel – this time as members of the Sanhedrin.Where do we find the descendants of Yisro begin to have connections with the Torah scholars of B'nei Yisroel?
Rashi tells us that we can see the sprouting of the fruits of Yisro's righteousness in verse sixteen in our chapter. The verse begins, "The Children of the Kenite, Moshe's father-in-law, ascended from the City of Date Palms with the children of Yehuda that is south of Arad; they went and settled with the people."
Rashi explains, "They left the fertility of Yericho and went to Asni'el ben K'naz in the Judean Desert to learn Torah. He sat with … the students that were in front of him ...Hashem prepared for him these chasidim.
The descendants of Yisro had such a desire to learn the Torah from the greatest talmidei chachamim of the time that they uprooted themselves from the plush living conditions in Yericho to learn Torah in the desert with Asni'el ben K'naz.
Of course, the Mishb'tzos Zahav points out, this m'siras nefesh for learning, to leave the familiarity and comfort of one's home in order to learn Torah was not an original idea of these Kenites. This was an idea passed to them from their ancestor Yisro who left his home to join the Jewish people. He left his home and followed his heart to go to the desert, empty and vast, to hear words of Torah..
So too, his descendant picked up from the fertility of Yericho to travel to the Judean Desert to learn Torah. Eventually Yisro's descendants earned their way to be members of the Sanhedrin.

EDMONTON - Verona is not only one of the most historic and legendary cities in the world, it is the home of one of Italy's most famous wines. I have travelled to Verona every April for the past 13 years to attend VinItaly, the world's largest wine show and a showcase for the diversity of Italian wine.
But I am here in January for the Anteprima Amarone, a preview of the 2009 vintage of Amarone della Valpolicella, and taste the new releases from more than 70 of the region's wineries.
If there is a more passionate wine than Amarone, I can't think of it. Dark, silky, velvety, rich, concentrated, penetrating, seductive and intense — all faithful and vivid characteristics of this singularly unique style of wine from the Valpolicella zone of northeast Italy's Veneto region.
Made with predominately Corvina and Corvinone grapes and most often blended with Rondinella and, traditionally, Molinara, Amarone is produced using the appassimento method. Once harvested, the grapes are laid flat in ventilated boxes to dry for several months prior to fermentation.
The grapes lose water and weight, resulting in a wine with concentrated, raisiny black, with red fruit flavours and a slightly tart edge that is ripe and powerful and an irresistible temptation loved by wine drinkers worldwide.
Unlike many age-worthy Italian reds, the supple tannins and ripe, juicy fruit of Amarone allow the wine to be enjoyed and appreciated when young, although it can age magnificently, developing more complexity and nuances.
Also produced in the same method and utilizing the same grapes is the sweeter Recioto della Valpolicella, which predates Amarone. Legend has it that Amarone was a mistake, resulting from an extended fermentation of an intended Recioto, eliminating the wine's residual sugar.
The "mistakes" from 2009 will start to arrive in our market later this year, but there are a number of quality Amarones from previous vintages currently on the market, including my pick this week.
Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC 2008, Veneto Italy; $56; CSPC: 352039
Bright, intense nose of dried cherries, prunes and figs with a lovely mixture of dried fruit and spice flavours with a rich, yet easygoing, mouth-feel, well-integrated tannins and a long, fresh, flavourful finish. Best served with rich meat dishes or strong cheese.

JB Landscape has employed HBR once again design and develop a brand new website to replace the one we previous developed for them ten years ago. The site although fairly small needed to accommodate the three core areas of business, namely domestic gardens, grounds maintenance and commercial landscaping.
Apparently most landscaping businesses fall into the commercial landscaping or garden design categories, each with their own distinct customer base. However as JB Landscaping handle both the website needed to be appealing to both customer bases. Therefore we decided to quite deliberately to concentrate on making the site brief and to the point. Providing enough information so that customers know about the services on offer, without over indulging in unnecessary sales literature.
JB Landscape has been creating beautiful gardens for customers across Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London for more than 20 years. They also offer a full range of commercial grounds maintenance services and handle all aspects of commercial landscaping from hard construction - including fencing, walls and footpaths - to soft landscaping schemes.

Title: The Story of the Christmas Ship by Lilian Bell (1867-1929)
Location: Google Books Date: 1913
How Chicago's City Council Indorsed The Christmas Ship
THERE is not room in this book to tell of even a tithe of the generosity which filled the Jason's hold with gifts.
I sit and pore over the files of newspapers which daily keep arriving, and I select with care all I feel I must use. Then I am appalled by the bulk of material.
So I go over and over it, weeding out, cutting down. If I didn't, this book would be the size of a dictionary and would have to be issued in sections—like Balzac's complete novels, that you buy on the installment plan and think you will read on rainy nights.
In Chicago the City Council came in, and not only promised to work but were singularly unanimous in praising the thought of the Christmas Ship:
"The Christmas Ship idea is a glorious one," said Alderman Nance. "What cheer it will carry to those in the very shadow of the great war, whose cups of sadness and desolation are overfull! The movement inaugurated by the Herald should become nation-wide and all citizens should esteem it a privilege to have a part in its work. Especially should the children be interested in the plan. The whole idea spells a spirit of generosity and brotherly love."
Alderman Merriam said that at Christmas time no greater expression of good will could be shown than by the sending of the ship.
"The idea carries out the 'Peace on earth, good will toward men,'" said Alderman Merriam, "and no better time for this will be found than the time the ship reaches the war country."
"A beautiful sentiment," was the way Alderman Harding expressed himself. "This should have the approval and aid of all."
"One of the most high-minded ideas," said Alderman Littler.
"Nothing can do more to cultivate the international spirit," said Alderman Krause. "The plan is a splendid one, and I for one will do all I can to make it a success."
"Anything that will bring joy to orphans at Christmas time," said Alderman Bergen, "deserves the help of every one."
"Everybody should get back of this plan and make it a complete success," said Alderman Norris. "This plan is wonderful."
"I believe the undertaking is something that appeals to the mind and heart of every American man, woman, and child," said Alderman Kearns. "The substantial things it aims to accomplish need but little comment."
"I think the idea is a grand one," said Alderman Capitain, "and should be encouraged by the grown-ups as well as by the children. It is a big undertaking, and should have the support of all."
These men, who have so much power in the city government, are in the habit of looking at ideas as to their influence and productiveness of good or evil. Therefore their recognition of the moral uplift and spiritual import contained in the idea back of the work conducted so ably by the Herald, indicated that they were awake to the sublime results which would emanate from the Christmas Ship in the hearts and lives of the children of the United States.
A few weeks later, in regular session, Alderman Nance introduced a resolution, followed by these most significant words: "The city council of the city of Chicago hereby indorses the laudable project and urges the generous cooperation of all citizens in making it an unqualified success."
It was with these words that the city's official representatives made history.
"It is rare in the annals of municipal government, either in America or abroad, that a great city has thought the suffering of other nations of concern immediate enough to inspire action toward its alleviation," said Alderman Nance after the session.
" Never before in the history of war has a great city initiated action, or indorsed action initiated by others, to offset even in part the ur aappiness and misery which follow in the wake of war.
"That the council of the city of Chicago has taken such action is a fact not only of importance as an aid in the loading of the ship but also as a great moral step in the direction of the realization of civilization's ideal of universal peace.
"The fact that one of the world's largest and most cosmopolitan cities has deemed international sympathy and brotherhood of sufficient importance to merit official action, is an influence for good which will reach not only the people of Chicago but in time all the people of the world."
Even more explicitly expressed is the commendation of the general superintendent of the United Charities of Chicago:
"Christmas Ship Editor of the Herald:
"Permit me to express my keen interest in your Christmas Ship idea. Charity workers know what fatherless homes mean to family life. They spell grief, gloom, and want. Now comes your plan to throw among these stricken little ones a kind of rainbow of cheer. It is a great idea, and I want to add my little word of encouragement. Two fairies in our own home, as I write, are busy at the front lawn to earn contributions to the cause.
"Of course this will mean money taken out of Chicago, where the needs of the poor are so great, but I am confident there will be plenty left for all. Chicago is rich, her people are generous, and their means are sufficient to meet all reasonable calls. How fitting that cosmopolitan Chicago, harboring peoples from every nation, should look with compassion upon the stricken children of all the many countries at war. Social workers ought to, and I am sure will, say Godspeed to your brilliantly conceived project.
"Eugene T. Lies"
While in another issue came this from the secretary of the Illinois Vigilance Association:
"Christmas Ship Editor of the Herald:
"To me the Christmas Ship plan seems one of the greatest influences for good I have heard of since the United States remitted a portion of the war tax on China after the Boxer rebellion. It is an act of kindness and sympathy that will do more than any diplomacy could hope to do. It will do much to quiet the war spirit in Europe and make it almost impossible for any foreign nation to declare war on us while the memory of such a kindness lasts. It is a kindness to mothers and little children that will be a source of happiness to the heart of the giver as well as to the receiver.
"Wirt W. Hallam"
Two hundred women's clubs of Chicago, through their representatives in the executive committee of the League of Cook County Clubs, enlisted in the work of the Christmas Ship.
Notice of the league's action was conveyed to the Herald in a letter signed by the president, Mrs. Charles H. Zimmerman, and the corresponding secretary, Mrs. A. P. C. Matson. The letter read as follows:
"At a meeting of the executive committee of the League of Cook County Clubs, held September 15, it was voted to indorse the Christmas Ship movement."
All the time I was teaching my Santa Claus Class, and 1 wrote for them as I would write had each day's story been going into a book.
Was there ever a more delightful play-combined-with-work and work-combined-with-play invented than all of us mothers and children sitting down to prepare such a shipload of joy?
Can you imagine what the children of Europe are thinking right this minute? For already thousands know what we are doing.
And the best of it is that we are all happy about it.
For my own part, I wear that smile that won't come off. I smile when I am with people and when I am alone. Sometimes I get to smiling so in the street car that I have to turn and look out of the window for fear people will think I am not quite right in my mind!
But we Christmas Shippers can't help smiling, can we?
This smile of ours is one which will circle the earth.

What do you think of when you imagine Jesus? Do you imagine the baby in the manger, surrounded by joyful parents, angels and shepherds?

'That my joy may be in you'

"Joy," C.S. Lewis wrote in one of his books, "is the serious business of heaven." If this is true (and I think it is), you would hardly know it from the public debate about faith, politics and policy. I mean, the anger and outrage on all sides, including from those claiming to be spokespeople for the Christian faith, is constant and loud.

When I was a campus minister (a long time ago!), I often struggled with the fact that I was being paid to perform Christian ministry.

When Mini-Reviews Attack! Day 3: Players
- You can only pull so many twists and turns before they render the entire story and, more importantly, any audience investment in it irrelevant. It doesn't matter whose allegiance is where once it is established that the writers are just going to change things willy-nilly, jerking you back and forth and back again, and possibly forth and then back once more. I stopped caring about two-thirds the way through this because I couldn't rely on anything that had happened to actually matter. It's not suspenseful, it's indecisive and sloppy. I felt this way about Abbas-Mustan's last film, Race, too. Enough.
- Sonam Kapoor cannot act and she most definitely cannot dance, so giving her not one but two come-hither songs was utterly laughable. That "Charlie's Angels" song ("Ladki Hai Nadaan") is so ill-advised, even as a stand-alone component, but when coupled with the sort of elder brother vibe Abhishek's character had towards Sonam's character at that point in the film, and him strongly established as in a solid couple with Bipasha, it became creepy and pathetic too. And that thing she did with NNM in his villain lair ("Jhoom Jhoom Ta Tu")...words fail me. She cannot even walk and snap her fingers at the same time, let alone lip-synch with any kind of appropriate facial expression and move the rest of her body with anything approaching allure.
- There are way too many people who don't matter. The smidge of emotional heart this film tries to create is too thinly dispersed, and I felt like the makers are relying on our memory of better films with similar character motivations—avenging a parent, avenging a friend, risking it all for a child—rather than creating a reason to give a flying fig in this one.
- Most of the characters flail around in tone and fail to give the impression of either particular competence or particular engagement in the insanely complex situation they're in. They don't seem to care very much, so why should we?
- Once again I find myself thinking this would be better if Manmohan Desai had done it (a sentiment last expressed in print in my piece on Jhinder Bandi but that exists in my head almost all the time). Esteemed colleague Shahrukh Is Love has many things in her writeup that were also in my head, but the elements she named were somehow much more fun for her than they were for me. That makes me a little sad, because on paper the idea of a film with "nonsensical convoluted plots involving prosthetic faces and illusions and cranes and chutes," as she says, sounds like a very good time indeed, but all I could think about was how many resources were wasted on this that could have gone to a much better version of the same basic concept.
- Master criminals cannot find someone in Wellington, New Zealand, without major technological assist, while their fictional brethren run into exactly the right people in MUMBAI all the damn time? I don't think so.
- Next time, putting at least one action star in the action film might be a good idea. The most competent action star in Players is almost 66 years old.
