MiamiSound (02-11-2010)
that's what modern history states but it's not true...........
WHAT isn't true after 15 differnt concepts have been introduced. Why ever do you think I'm basing that in world history and not gnostic precepts of find the truth for myself?
Pagan have hidden behind my religions and secret societies.....
And what are YOUR religions and secret societies? Oral traditions of secrecy were put into place to pass information down intact...plus no one knew how to write so you see the neccesity in that. Plus we don't give the secrets of fire away to the kids who will burn the house down.
[B]The top level pagans wanted all who had knowledge out of the way so they could take over..........
You can say that NWO and Illuminati execs are pagan's in the sense they could use the occult they decry from their religious pulpit the same way they'd use any other tool they can get their hands on to control and manipulate. You can say that I won't get offended, however you shouldn't clump all non abramic religions in a big clump of illuminati pagans. You should also know that is a handful of people, not a cohesive religion doing that. I know that it is rumored that occult is used in highest levels of governement and global affairs. But those aren't pagans in the sense of earth based religions and if they are they then Gaia will catch up to them eventually. I doubt that I, or anyone in here is that sort of pagan. Native Americans are pagans. Are you suggesting they were in Europe eons ago orchestrating the cover up of some secret knowledge?
I will prove this later tonight
I know...it's always later. :Later why don't you get a clear idea of what paganism is in order to understand what the hell you are perceiving as a enemy here .Its only what any real 'truth' finder would do.
Oh my, my gnosis senses the onset of another moderator conspiracy.....
Yes read the words, the energy, the poster, the google aids on the top of the page but most of all do what you must to twist this into a stage for the drama queens.

True, as it doesn't necessarily refer to only religion, but also belief systems and spiritual practices.
And it's generally also used to refer to nature-based religion, beliefs, and spiritual practices as well.
But I think you know that so...sorry if I misrepresented paganism just now.
He said "Who truly belongs here?"
"Not I," she said, "I'll lie here with you"
I would call Abraham the patriarch of Gnosis. The one profound truth of Gnosis is the relationship with God does not require the intercession of religion or others interpreting the relationship of God and the individual. Jesus was not adverse to the orders of Earth components, which is the base of paganism. In my view, based on my studies, He acknowledged the cognizant ability of earth as a separate area, not an area for the priests of Judaism. The natural order of being within the structure of earthly existence has its own set of rules, still under God but considered in a different fashion. Just my take on it. I am a Gnostic, I am not affiliated to any religion, though I see and respect the value each system of faith holds. Gnosticism is simply a view that leaves one in peace and understanding of self within the greater tapestry. I am no more valid nor am I any more invalid than any other component of the greater works. God is in everything, and influences the patterens by subtle ways and overt miracle at times.
One does not need the view of another to see these events, they are perceived infinite ways and all are correct. It is the individual that demands one to see things in one uniform view that is disturbing. Not harmful, just disturbing. How any one being on this level of existence where we are entrenched, can state emphattically that they are correct and any who disagree are wrong; how these can spout such ludicris statements with such surety is an astounding display of the depth of their ignorance. Gnostic view is wide and varied as the individual. It is not a religion, it is a relationship with God. Just as we each approach relationships by our own sense of attraction, compassion, and love. The relationship to God is as personal, as sacred to each heart.

Interesting TMT thanks for sharing that. I do tend to think of Abrahamic as non gnostic due to the decidely monotheist and rigid religions that spang from him, Islam, Christianity and Judaism. In terms of his personal experience, I suppose I haven't thought about it in a long time since I'm not a huge fan of OT.
And thank you for adding the rest too ...starting with God does not require the intercession of religion or others interpreting the relationship of God
That is what drew me to the philsophy in the first place. It's very empowering.
And so was your post...
Theres no argument when you dont attach your ego.
The more you let go of your ego, the happier you become.
That said, anyone here say even the slightest negative thing about Mighty Mouse, and I will cry, and I will make your life a living hell!

Suitability in a disclosure-based market
SEHK has announced possible waivers of the profit criteria. We don't object, but the profit test should be scrapped. It has no place in a disclosure-based market, and is no substitute for better accounting disclosure requirements and effective legal remedies and deterrents, all of which HK still sorely lacks. We make proposals for those. (8-Jun-2009)

Bill currently lives and gets along with other kitties. He lives with dogs but he would be tolerates them, He'd be just as happy if his forever home did not have any dogs in it, The small dog isn't bad but the big dogs still make him a little nervous.

While the rest of the motorcycle industry struggles with inflated pricing, Suzuki is offering the 1250cc, full-faired all-rounder GSX1250F for less than £7k. That's partly because mechanically it's almost entirely a Bandit 1250SA – but the fairing and accessories list make it more useful and sportier looking.
998cc, 143bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer is a streetbike with an R1 engine – it could have been a compact brute of a machine with fearsome manners and ability to waste sports bikes below 80mph. But it's actually a big softie with plenty of punch. Arguably the ultimate all round bike – a Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer does the lot and does it ...
999cc, 117bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 15
MZ is trying something different with its parallel twin 1000S and Streetfighter, but it lacks the X factor and doesn't have the kind of dealer/distributor back-up you need when buying a slightly oddball motorbike. Decent to ride, and the Streetfighter version looks more appealing than the 80s style S model, but hasn't really got anything novel or unique about it.
998cc, 150bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
What you get with the Yamaha FZ1/FZS1000 is the awesome 2002 R1 engine in a more practical but still high-spec chassis. The Japanese firm class the Yamaha Fazer 1000 as a sports motorcycle and they're right – but it has the ability of a sports tourer and a city motorcycle, too – with more than a splash of musclebike / ...

XPath Referencing Integer
I've had some success with my XPath forays, mostly thanks to people on this site. I thought I'd try my luck again! I need to access the value of the WIDTH attribute of the TRIM BOX in - Code:
<od:PageBoxInfo ID="Link6"> //od:PageBoxInfo/Page/PageBox[@BoxType="TrimBox"]/@Width but to no avail. Does this XPath look correct? I was thinking that the result may have been returned to me as a string rather than an integer, but I'm not sure. I'm no XPath master! Any ideas? Thanks in advance HP |
Actually, I just noticed the double quotes (") in my XPath. I changed this to single quotes (') but still the same result.
I am getting error due to the od: in the xml file. This maybe your problem.
May I offer an easier method, simplexml. Remove both od: and this does what you want PHP Code:
Thanks for your help Sunfighter. Unfortunately the XML is generated by another application we are working with and we have no option to change it. The XML is actually a Job Definition File (.jdf) and contains about 2000 lines of code (most of it useless).
It's interesting what you say about the "od:" as this appears in a lot of the file. Is there a way I can reference things without the "od:"? |
Maybe you could try something like this first
PHP Code:
I don't think it's a good idea to manually remove an XML namespace, they are there for a reason.
to the original problem: the XPath so far is correct, but the od namespace must be known to the XPath interpreter (which obviously depends on the interpreter used, XSLT is different from SimpleXML is different from DOMDocument, etc.) the return type of the XPath expression is usually a string for primitive data types (maybe except for the XPath functions), though that may also depend on the interpreter used. |
Thanks for your input guys!
I just heard back from our software developers who support the product that uses the Xpath info. Apparently the software does not support Xpath 2.0, and only supports a subset of Xpath 1.0, and they can't tell me what that subset is. :confused: I assume this is what is making things difficult (or impossible). Sorry to waste your time guys. Regards HP |

I recently received my order from Meguiar's including the video. I watched the video but I'm a litltle confused. Here's what I currently own:
NXT Car Wash
Clay Bar
Dual Action Polisher
Meguiar's Dual Action Polisher Backing Plate
(4) W-8006 Finishing Pads
(3) W-9006 Finishing Pads
NXT Wax
My car has slight swirls and very little acid rain etching. Should I use anything else after the #32 besides the NXT wax? Based on the abrasive rating for the #32 and #9, they are the same. What's the differece between the 2? My car is a dark silver metallic with clear coat. What products would you all recommend besides what I already purchased? Here's a picture of my car for reference:
And here is an example (picture I found on this forum) of the extent of my swirls:

With the 2012 elections heading full tilt forward one political analyst believes a Barack Obama-Hilary Clinton ticket could be in the works. Robert Reich (Former Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton) writes on his website that the Democratic ticket needs to be revived and Clinton is the one to do it.
Writing on his blog Reich noted:
"Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that."
While such a move may appear as if President Obama is throwing Joe Biden under the bus analyst Jonathan Alter and several other pundits have pointed out that Joe Biden has been eyeing the Secretary of State position which would likely provide him with more press time and the opportunity to engage with world leaders on a more direct level.
With Clinton on the ticket Obama could then shift the focus of the election campaign away from the economy and towards Clinton's very successful foreign policy run. Clinton also served as first lady under her husband Bill Clinton during a time when the economy was met with a large surplus, a fact Obama and his administration could use in their favor as election time rolls around.
If that isn't enough to give Democrats reason for an Obama-Clinton 2012 ticket a recent Gallup poll has named President Barack Obama as the "most admired" of the year (4th time) while naming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the "most admired woman" of the year for the 10th year in a row and for the 16th time overall (more than former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt).
An Obama-Clinton ticket would also ensure that Hillary Clinton would become the frontrunner for the Democratic party in 2016.
This ticket may have been in the works for years, check out the Newsy video about the pairings relationship:
Do you think an Obama-Clinton ticket would be hard for the GOP to win against in 2012?

TalkTablet includes the following vocabularies.
16-button layout: This layout was designed for individual's who are just beginning to combine symbols to express needs and desires. In addition to single vocabulary items, it contains a variety of pre-programmed phrases. Vocabulary is organized according to semantic categories. Colored borders also indicate the word-class. Pages that are designed for symbol combinations generally follow a left-to-right progression.
24-button #1: This layout was intended for users who are beginning to express more than just basic needs with their communication devices. Therefore, vocabulary to comment and ask questions can be more easily emphasized within this layout, as opposed to the layouts with fewer symbols. Like other layouts, it contains single vocabulary items and pre-programmed utterances. Again, similar to other layouts, vocabulary is organized according to categories and communicative contexts and follows a general left-to-right progression.
24-button #2: The design of this layout facilitates more conversational exchanges. It emphasizes use of conversation starters and follow-up comments by having those phrases readily accessible on the main page. Nonetheless, it still does allow for spontaneous utterance generation to express needs as well. This layout might be particularly appropriate for a child or adolescent who has some verbal language, but struggles to communicate beyond his or her basic needs/wants.
32-button: In the 32-button design there is continued expansion of the language offered in the other layouts. This layout similarly offers both single vocabulary targets and pre-programmed phrases to continue to allow for participation in conversational exchanges that is efficient and generative.
42-button and 48-button: The most significant changes between the 32-button and the 42 and 48-button layouts is the inclusion of some verb morphology, which allows users to communicate beyond the present and express tense (future, past, present progressive). These layouts continue to include pre-programmed phrases, but they include a large range of single vocabulary items to allow for novel utterance generation. Moreover, they also include function words to allow for the generation of syntactically complete and correct utterances.
TalkTablet includes 9 starter vocabularies. Here are a few examples.

Family Sings Healer For Their Beloved in a Coma - An Incredibly Powerful Moment
Am praying also x
May the Spirit of the LORD, dwell in your hearts forever... GOD BLESS YALL DIOS te BENDIGAS
Awesome testimony to others about this family and those giving Jesus PRAISE AND GLORY. JESUS IS ALL WE ALL NEED...He's been healed for the long term (Eternity) not the short term (Life on Earth). PRAISE GOD \0/.
I think the very hardest thing for us to understand is when God says 'no' to our heartfelt, desires. His timing is always right, and though we don't, and can't always understand, some how He gets us through it. I can't comprehend burying a child, I'm praying for this family.
We all should be that blessed to see God's hand at work. Peace to you.
Healing is available.
let's spend time alone with Jesus in repentance of our sins, in spirit n truth www.true-shapherd.blogspot.in.
Very good
My son Travis Cannata was in a coma several years ago from a brain injury after falling off a moving truck. While he lay there, friends came and prayed, many prayers chains were sent out and literally, thousands of people were praying for him to be healed. After several weeks in a coma, he began to regain consciousness. One night, while I was with him, he began to tell me he was confused, because he did not know what was real, and what was not in his memories. I asked him to give me an example. He said he remembered going to church. He saw thousands of people there, and they were all praying for him. I knew that was God, allowing me to know that our prayers had been heard, and that my son was with me because of that prayer. Glory to God, for He is good. This young man left this earth with song of praise to God in his heart, and he knew where to go to.
Reminds me of when I was singing for mama while all my siblings were sleeping. This is definitely beautiful and how we should be in all circumstances giving Praise to our Heavenly Father for HE is the one that sees us through.
that was so awesome God is so good.
Sending prayers this family is so awsome!
So beautiful. This brought me to tears.

This is Dr. Seuss' view of prejudice: Some Sneetches have a star on their bellies, and some of them don't. The ones that don't have a star on their bellies are trying to be accepted but wind up being treated like trash. It's a shame that some people today are still prejudice--and proud of it.

Ready to soak up some wisdom from the ex-chief!
The sunset at Rosh Hanikra tonight
Legend says that Abraham passed over the cliffs of Rosh Hanikra on how way to Israel from Mesopotamia.
In this week's Parsha as Eliezer describes his master's instructions to Rebecca's family he quotes Abraham as saying
ויאמר אלי ה' אשר התהלכתי לפניו ישלח מלאכו אתך והצליח דרכך ולקחת אשה לבני משפחתי ומבית אבי
And he said to me, 'The Lord, before Whom I walked, will send His angel with you and make your way prosper, and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's house
(Genesis 24:40)
This is not the first time in Genesis that the word התהלך has been used to describe the relationship between Abraham and God. In addition to this, the same term has been used to describe other people's relationship to God.
I'll be honest, as I'm writing this I have no idea what meaning I expect to find in the similarities and differences of the sources and what lessons can be extrapolated from this. Nevertheless,here's a comparison!
Musaf Rashi refers us to Rashi's commentary on Parshat Noah which discusses the difference between Abraham and Noah.
Noah's relationship is described as as
את האלוקים התהלך נח
Noah walked with God
(Genesis 6:9)
Here, Rashi comments and says
נח היה צריך סעד לתמכו אבל אברהם היה מתחזק ומהלך בצדקו מאליו
Noah needed God's help to support him in his righteousness but Abraham strengthened himself and walked in his righteousness by himself.
The Bereishit Rabbah (30:10) explains the difference between Abraham and Noah through the analogy of a young child and an older child. Just like a father tells the smaller child to walk with him, so too Noah walked alongside God as he needed His support. In contrast to this, Abraham as the older child can be more independent and can follow his Father's instructions without having to walk next to him.
While we understand that Abraham was stronger in his religious convictions than Noah, what does התהלך לפניו really mean?
In Parshat Lech Lecha the same term is used when God speaks to Abraham but in this case, it's a command.
ויהי אברםבן תשעים שנה ותשע שנים וירא ה' אל אברם ויאמר אליו אני אל שדי התהלך לפני והיה תמים
And Abram was ninety nine years old and God appeared to Abram. And God said to him, I am the Almighty God, walk before Me and be perfect
(Genesis 17:1)
Rashi comments on the word התהלך and explains it to mean to cling to the service of God.
This term is used in reference to two more people in Genesis, Enoch and Joseph. Within the short space of two verses, Enoch is described as
ויתהלך חנוך את האלהים
And Enoch walked with God
(Genesis 5:22,24)
Rashi explains that Enoch was a righteous man but had a weak mind and could have easily been persuaded to return to evil. In order to prevent this, God shortened his days so that he would remain a righteous person. In the Midrash Enoch is described as פעמים צדיק פעמים רשע sometimes righteous, sometimes evil (Bereishit Rabbah 25:1).
In contrast to this, in Jacob's final blessing to his sons, he blessed Joseph saying
האלהים אשר התהלכו אבתי לפניו אברהם ויצחק האלהים הרעה אתי מעודי עד היום הזה
God, before Whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God Who sustained me as long as I am alive, until this day
(Genesis 48:15)
Sforno comments on the words האלהים אשר התהלכו אבתי and explains it to mean that God should do good for Joseph and fulfil his blessing in the merit of Abraham and Isaac, who walked before God.
The different times this phrase is used demonstrates different levels of commitments to God. Enoch, is at the lowest level as he sometimes does evil and would be very easily persuaded to return to his former ways, Noah is a level higher but needs God's direct support to ensure he remains on the correct path and Abraham is on the highest level. Abraham not only fulfils God's command and cleaves to his service of God, but he has strong religious convictions and is not influenced by the pagan forces surrounding him.
In this comparison, Joseph's blessing appears to be irrelevant. It is not. Joseph's blessing affirms Abraham's high level as it is Abraham's merit that will be invoked for Joseph. Furthermore, in modern times we as a nation can identify with Joseph. We are surrounded by foreign forces who worship different ideas to us; we are different yet we are expected to stand strong and remain Jewish. We are not supposed to be like Enoch who is easily influenced or Noah who is compared to a young child. As descendants of Abraham who have internalized his 'spiritual DNA' we aim to resist temptation and cling to God in spite of opposing external influences. In this sense, we are also like Joseph who remained firm in his religious convictions despite the depravity of Egypt.
While we may struggle to battle ideas that are foreign to ours and face a fight externally on a global scale and internally with our evil inclination, we remember Joseph's blessing which invokes the merit of Abraham and the example of Abraham himself.
May we merit to replicate Abraham and Joseph's examples and bring משיח במהרב בימינו אמן
Last Thursday I injured my foot while attempting to dance. I foolishly thought it was just a twisted ankle and would go away by itself. By the time Shabbat rolled around it was very swollen and bruised. I still thought it would heal itself. By Monday as the swelling and bruising increased my friends convinced me to go to nearby medical emergency centre even though it was no longer painful.
I explained to the Doctor what had happened and showed him my foot. He prodded it and kept on asking me if it hurt, each time I responded that it didn't. He then asked me, "When did this happen?"
"Last Thursday"
"Why are you only coming in now?"
"I was up North for a few days, only came home now"
"Well, it doesn't hurt…why did you come in?"
"Because look at it!"
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
"I don't know! You're the doctor, you decide!"
"Do you want an x-ray?"
"I guess…"
My foot is x-rayed a few times and about a half hour later another Doctor comes over and tells me I have a minor fracture. She said it's very possible that some fractures don't cause much pain at all. A nurse bandages it and tells me to make sure to see an orthopedist later on the week.
Over the next two days my bruising continues to spread but it does not hurt (bh) and I can walk on it.
Today, I visited the orthopedist. As I'm waiting in line at the desk a woman, expecting a walk in appointment enters and begins arguing with one of the receptionist. The woman said she's been waiting for the receptionist to call her back for over an hour as she wants to see the Doctor when he's free. The receptionist responds that she hadn't called her back yet, as people who had booked appointments had arrived and took priority. They continued arguing for a good ten minutes and once the woman finally leaves the receptionist returns to her book, Fifty Shades of Grey.
My insurance and patient information is taken care of and I walk into the Doctor's office. I show him my foot and he also begins prodding it and asking if it hurts. Again I say that it does not. Once again….
"Well, why are you here if it doesn't hurt?"
"The doctors at the medical emergency centre told me to see an orthopaedist"
"If someone told you to go to Ireland right now, would you listen to them?"
No joke. That is actually what happened.
I managed to convince him to look at my x-rays and he said from one angle it looks like it might be fractured and from another it might not but he couldn't give me a definite answer.
All in all, I've decided not to worry about it. If the bruising doesn't go away within a week I'll get it looked at again. But, I still think the Doctors in this country are hilarious…frustrating, but hilarious!
When I told my mother these stories she warned me that this is what I should expect when I make Aliyah, and that maybe I should consider my decision. I told her, Aliyah is most definitely still worth it, especially when the Doctors are such a good source of comedy!
Unfortunately I didn't have the time this week I wrote a proper Dvar Torah this week….and for very good reasons too!
I was at 3 weddings and one Sheva brachot this week that seriously ate up my free time! I'm honored to be able to be part of the important mitzvah of משמח חתן וכלה.
Also, this week I'm able to fulfill one of the things HaShem commanded Abraham. HaShem tells Abraham
קום התהלך בארץ [לראות] ארכה ורחבה
Get up and walk through the land did Israel, see her length and her width.
This Shabbat I'm staying in tzfat, I've been hiking the Galil and trying to experience as much of Israel as I can - I'm working my way from east to west and north to south.
Shabbat shalom from the holy city of tzfat
שבת שלום ומבורך
בן ישראל שדר בחוצה לארץ דומה כמי שאין לו אלוה
A Jew that lives outside of Israel is like a person that doesn't have a God
Abraham and Noah: A contrast
This week's Parsha famously begins
אלה תולדות נח נח איש צדיק תמים היה בדורותיו את האלוקים התהלך בנוח
These are the generations of Noah, Noah was a righteous man he was perfect in his generations; Noah walked with God.
(Genesis 6:9)
Rashi comments on the words "he was perfect in his generations" that
לפי דורו היה צדיק, ואלו היה בדורו של אברהם לא היה נחשב לכלום
Others interpret it derogatorily: In comparison with his generation he was righteous, but if he had been in Abraham's generation, he would not have been considered of any importance. — [Sanh. 108a, Gen. Rabbah 30:9, Tan. Noach 5]:
The Baal Haturim explains the same idea through gematria. The words תמים היה have a gematria of 20. He contends that for the 20 generations between Adam and Abraham he was considered righteous but within Abraham's generation, he would not be considered righteous.
Furthermore the Midrash explains
אמר ר' אבא בר כהנא כי נחמתי כי עשיתים ונח מצא חן אתהמא אלא אפי' נח שנשתייר מהם לא שהיה כדאי אלא שמצא חן
(בראשית רבה פכ"ח)
Noah really was not worthy of being saved from the flood. The only reason he was saved was because he found some sort of favour in God's eyes. Essentially, this Midrash places a limit on Noah's position as a righteous man in his generation.
Moreover, Rashi on the last word of the Parsha discusses the existence of a Nun Hafucha (a upside down nun) on the word חרן. (This nun is no longer seen in our versions of the text).
הנו"ן הפוכה, לומר לך עד אברם היה חרון אף של מקום בעולם:
The "nun" of חָרָן is inverted, to tell you that until Abram [appeared], the wrath of the Omnipresent was kindled (חֲרוֹן). [The inverted "nun" symbolizes the change from Divine anger to Divine mercy.] — [based on Sifrei, Ha'azinu 311]
This Rashi also invalidates Noah's position as a righteous person as he was not able to help abate God's anger. Furthermore, as only Abraham was able to do this it once again provides a contrast between the two of them. This one again demonstrates that Noah was not saved because of his value as a "righteous man", rather just because of his חן.
The fundamental difference between Abraham and Noah is that Abraham was concerned for the welfare of the people in his generation and Noah was not. Throughout the entire story of the Ark, not once does Noah protest and pray for God to save the world. The text simply reads
ויעש נח בבל אשר צוה אתו אלוקים כן עשה
And Noah did everything God commanded him to do, so he did
(Genesis 6:22)
ויעש נח כל אשר צוהו ה'
And Noah did everything God commaned him
(Genesis 7:5)
In contrast to this, Abraham continued to pray to God to try and save the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
ויגש אברהם ויאמר האף תספה צדיק עם רשע
Abraham came forward and said will You sweep away the innocent with the guilty?
(Genesis 18:23)
This theme continues until the end of the chapter with Abraham bargaining with God to save the people of Sodom.
The Alshich and the Zohar quoted by Nechama Leibovitz explain that it is this difference in response that creates the chasm between Abraham and Noah, where Abraham is a righteous man and Noah is not. The response of Noah continues to be viewed as a negative thing throughout Tanakh. This is exemplified by a verse in this week's Haftorah.
כי מי נח זאת לי אשר נשבעתי מעבור מי נח עוד על הארץ כן נשבעתי מקצף עליך ומגער בך
For this to Me is like the waters of Noah as I swore that the waters of Noah nevermore would flood the earth, so I swear that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
(Isaiah 54:9)
Rabbi Nebenzahl questions why the flood waters are called the waters of Noah. God is the one who decided to flood the world, why is Noah being blamed? The flood is called the waters of Noah because Noah did not even try to save the world and the people in his generation. As a result of this, it is as if the flood is his fault.
However, how can a human, even a righteous man like Abraham argue with God? Humans are finite, God is infinite, God has a master plan that humans cannot even begin to comprehend. What right does mere man have to debate God?
Rav Soloveitchik explains,
"The individual who frees himself from the rational principle and who casts off the yoke of objective thought will in the end turn destructive…'out of the depths I have called unto Thee O Lord' (Psalms 130:1). Out of the straits of inner oppositions and incongruities, spiritual doubts and uncertainties, our of the depths of a psyche rent with antimonies and contradictions, out of the bottomless pit of a soul that struggles with its own torments I have called, I have called unto Thee O Lord".
(Rav Soloveitchik Notes to P. 4 Halakhic Man)
Everyone has problems, doubts and conflicts within their religious experience. As humans, we cannot understand God's plan, decisions and actions. However, there is no reason why we cannot discuss this with this God, call out to him and try to search for answer.
Ultimately, like Abraham we should protest respectfully when we think we see injustices in the world. It is this quality that makes Abraham the epitome of a Tzaddik and Noah's silence that delegitimizes him. May we all have the courage to speak up when we see immorality and injustice and in our prayers receive clear answers from God.
Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem

On January 27, 1945, Soviet forces liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, discovering the largest Nazi killing center in Europe. Auschwitz has become a symbol of the Holocaust, representing the depths of man's inhumanity to man.
In November 2005, the United Nations passed a resolution to mark January 27 as an international day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Holocaust, and urged member states to develop educational programs to impart the memory of this tragedy to future generations. Over 60 governments have legislated January 27 as an annual Holocaust Memorial Day and Holocaust remembrance ceremonies will be organized on the international, national, regional and local levels, including in universities and schools.
The Auschwitz Album - Visual evidence of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau (Yad Vashem)
Anti-Semitism has not disappeared and - to our regret - neither has the desire to destroy a considerable part of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. They exist and they are strong. Holocaust-denial is being spread by one of the world's major countries, not by a group or by individual countries or by marginal elements, but by Iran which, today, from the UN or any other platform, is the leader of Holocaust-denial while preparing for what they deem to be another Holocaust - the destruction of the state of the Jews."
The 2013 observance of the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust is built around the theme "Rescue during the Holocaust: The Courage to Care", honoring those who risked their own lives to save Jews and others from near certain death under the Nazi regime during the Second World War in Europe.
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a new display will open on Sunday January 27, 2013 in the lobby of the Library and Archives Building at Yad Vashem. "Gathering the Fragments - Behind the Scenes of the Campaign to Rescue Personal Items from the Holocaust" will display the process of collection, research, registration and digitization performed in the framework of the nationwide project to rescue personal Holocaust-related items. The opening event will be attended by Holocaust survivors whose personal items are displayed in the exhibition.
Exhibition Curator Michael Tal explained, "The majority of items donated to Yad Vashem during the campaign have come via second- or third-generation descendants of the survivors and others who possess items from their families in Europe. Therefore, most of the information we receive about the items is, at best, only partial. The exhibition therefore showcases the research work carried out at Yad Vashem in order to reconstruct the full story behind each item. We are committed to learning as much as possible about everything that comes to us, and to sharing new insights with the greater public."
Among the special events scheduled at the United Nations in New York:
"Whoever Saves a Single Life … Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust"
This exhibit showcases some of those rare but exceedingly important instances where people fought to safeguard their Jewish fellow citizens during the Holocaust. In a time of overwhelming death and destruction, rescuers did not stand by silently. Their bravery shows us that people are able to make choices and act on them, even in the face of powerful constraints, offering us a lesson on the universal value of the preservation of human life, human dignity, and human rights. The exhibit has been produced by The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous and will be on view until 18 February 2013.
Film Screening and Panel Discussion of "The Rescuers"
This documentary film by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Michael King chronicles the heroic efforts of a dozen diplomats who used the powers and privileges tied to their postings throughout Europe to save the lives of tens of thousands of Jews during the Second World War. These 12 individuals - from a Muslim Turk stationed in Greece to a Japanese envoy posted in Kaunas, Lithuania - took enormous personal risks to their lives and livelihoods to help others in dire circumstances.
"The Rescuers" is told through the eyes of Stephanie Nyombayire, an activist who lost members of her family in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, and pre-eminent historian Sir Martin Gilbert, who lost family members in the Holocaust. As they travel across 15 countries and three continents interviewing survivors and descendants of the rescuers, they explore the mystery of goodness in the face of danger.
Among those featured in the film are German diplomat and Nazi party member Georg F. Duckwitz in Copenhagen; Varian Fry and Hiram Bingham from the United States in Marseilles; Japanese Consul Chiune Sugihara; the Dutchman Jan Zwartendijk in Kaunas; Turkish Consul Selahattin Ülkümen in Rhodes; British Captain Frank Foley in Berlin; Polish diplomat Henryk Slawik in Budapest; Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who helped coordinate the rescue efforts in Budapest in 1944 with Archbishop Angelo Rotta, representative of the Vatican; Consul Carl Lutz of Switzerland; and Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese Consul stationed in Bordeaux, who issued visas in defiance of his Government's orders, allowing the safe passage of Jews to Portugal. Princess Alice, grandmother of the Prince of Wales, is also recognized for hiding a Jewish family in her Athens palace.
Event at the United Nations Office in Geneva: Opening ceremony of the exhibit co-organized by the Israeli and Bulgarian missions to the UN in Geneva: "The Power of Civil Society: the Fate of Jews in Bulgaria" - 21 posters with photographs, document copies and text showing the sequence of the events under consideration and social and political processes in Bulgaria and the world that took place in parallel to them.
This exhibition was first presented by the State Institute for Culture of Bulgaria on November 26, 2008 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the presence of diplomats, community leaders, representatives of the Jewish community in Bulgaria, researchers studying the events that took place in 1943. Since then the exhibition has been travelling all around the world.
The exhibition was prepared in cooperation with the Centre for Jewish Studies at the St. Kliment Ohridski University in Sofia.

The other day, a friend of mine email me the following letter from a 7-year-old second-grader, Abigal Lily Alder, at Heron Heights Elementary in Broward County, and I want to share it with you, my dear Neighbors in Religion readers:
The title: "AUTISM SPEAKS to Me!"
"If I could help somebody it would be my brother, Grant, who has autism. People with autism like Grant sometimes have trouble communicating and they may act 'different.' I participated in a walk for Autism Speaks with my family, and learned that for every 88 kids one of them will have autism like my brother. If you have a conversation with someone who has autism they are not always able to focus on what you are saying and they may only want to talk about things that are important to them.
"Restaurants, playgrounds and shops can sometimes be too exciting for them at first. They may be loud, say things you may not expect or they may have trouble understanding what you are asking them.
I would like people to accept kids like my brother who are unique in their own way, and not judge them. Just be patient. If you see someone who you think may have autism, you should help them or just be a friend. I went to camp during the summer with kids who have autism like my brother, and I found out that they can be real friends just like anyone else. We laughed together and played games. It was a blast and I am still friends with many of them.
"There are good things about autism, too. My brother is the most fun and active person. He is awesome on computers and every morning when I wake up, my brother has a big smile on his face and he says, 'It is a beautiful morning.' He is still the BEST BROTHER EVER!
"I know I may be only seven, but I can make a difference and so can you."
Abby is in Mrs. Chiros' class and was the essay contest winner for her grade level.
Oh, thank you, so much Abby. You are wise beyond your young years. I know your parents are so proud of how sensitive you are — and that's a feather in their hats. God bless you and Grant. My godson Isaiah Swift, 6, has autism and I love him so much, and tell him often.
Although he had not been able to speak, one day at church he shocked my boots off, so to speak, when he said without any prompting, "I ... love ... you."
It brought tears of joy to my eyes.
'Why I am Thankful'
On Dec. 28, I asked readers to share reasons they are thankful. Here is a response from Charlotte Delascasas:
"I am grateful for the upcoming MLK Holiday and our national tradition of community service. Coral Gables Congregational Church will be having their annual food drive and Pastor Laurie Hafner will remain fasting up in the tower until 3,000 pounds (one dollar also equals one pound) is raised before the cherry picker brings her down, usually 7 p.m. Saturday night, when there will be a rock 'n' roll band in our parking lot in front of the Biltmore Hotel, to celebrate.
"Our church will also adult education about Dr. King from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m., each Sunday in January. I am thankful that our congregation welcomes everyone, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey, with an open door. Each Thanksgiving we join Temple Judea and Riviera Presbyterian for an interfaith service and we have welcomed theologians from all religions to speak as well. Our social justice program includes Green Christians, who have just started a community garden.

Wynn scores three unassisted goals, while Asktin tallies 13 saves
Complete Release in PDF FormatDownload Free Acrobat Reader
Sept. 13, 2004
Offensive Player of the WeekCurlyne Wynn, Ohio StateSO, F, Trincity, Trinidad and Tobago/North Eastern CollegeWynn earns Offensive Player of the Week accolades after scoring three of Ohio State's seven goals to give the Buckeyes a 2-0 record last week. The 2003 Big Ten Freshman of the Year honoree was part of a solid Buckeye offense, which defeated Kent State, 3-1, and shut out Miami (Ohio), 4-0, by generating 36 shots over two games. Two of Wynn's goals came unassisted, as she found a line of attack in offensive battles between the Buckeyes and their opponents.
Defensive Player of the WeekMegan Asktin, Penn StateJR, GK, Poughkeepsie, NY/ArlingtonAsktin was named Defensive Player of the Week after tallying 13 saves in two games, including a 2-0 shutout victory over James Madison to give the Nittany Lions their first win of the 2004 season. Against North Carolina, the sophomore helped PSU withstand a barrage of shots as the Tar Heels attemped 14 in the first period, however Asktin held her ground, recording eight saves. She currently ranks third in the League with 5.40 saves per game and 1.58 goals against average.
