While the Monkeys Swing from the Trees, the Civilized Learn and Discover. . .

While the Palestinians and other Muslims are rioting, burning cars, boycotting Israeli products, beheading infidels, beating women, stabbing guards, blowing themselves up in the midst of civilians and murdering soldiers on Army bases,



A United States and Israeli team (should I assume Christians and, yes-- J-E-W-S ?) are studying supernova and discovering exploding stars.

LL,

I am rather appalled by this post. As someone who reads your blog from time to time & agrees with you on many things, and respects your opinions even when I don't agree, I hope you will consider my suggestion that you remove this post, which can only be seen as out and out racism.

Shabbat Shalom

DYS: First of all, thank you for your kind words; I appreciate them.

What I wrote about in this post, is the difference between a barbaric culture and a civilized one.

Racism is a term that has been bandied about and applied to everything without regard to its true meaning. It has nothing to do with this, or any other of my posts.

I never have been nor am not now a "racist." I judge people--individuals and groups--not by their skin color, ethnic background, or religious beliefs, but rather by what they do: by their actions.

That is how I am judging the Muslims and their culture. Of course there are 'good' individuals; but most of what they have 'contributed' to bettering mankind's brief sojourn on this Earth, is death and destruction. I believe their culture plays a big part in this.

Contrast that with Jewish 'culture,' that of the Torah, emphasizing chesed (for those who don't know what this is: loving-kindness) and education.

The Jews' contributions (and Christians, but very, very few Muslims by comparison)to the betterment of human beings, are legion.

I don't know how else to say it.

You shouldn't have posted the picture of a monkey. Muslims are people. They do what they do as people. It just shows that it's human to murder and destroy.

Marallyn: Thank you for visiting; would love to meet you, too (but first, we have to figure out how to get there!)

Noph: I have to say, that pic is starting to scare me, too. You are right. Muslims are people; that is what is so appalling about their actions, as a group. What has happened to their humanity as a whole? Something has to change; think I'm going to post right away so I don't have to keep seeing that monkey when I open my blog.
Btw, thank you for the kind way you critized my post; it is appreciated...

I only criticized it because FBI or CIA are probably watching me to see if I am promoting hatred on the internet or go to extremist sites or download nuclear secrets. I bet they classify your site as extremist.

The Great Debate: Is it Itsy Bitsy, or Inky Dinky, of Spider Fame?

Image
For the better part of a year, I've had an on-again, off-again debate with my D.H. as to the "correct" adjective in the children's finger-play nursery rhyme, "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider" (now you know which one I favor). My D. H. insists that the correct descriptive is "inky dinky," whereas I demur.  I vaguely recollect from my own childhood, either hearing " itsy-bitsy spider ," or even more familiar to me, the description "eency-weency," referring to said spider's miniscule size, yet plucky persistance, and how he (she?) braved the violent rainstorm which "washed it out" after the arduous climb up the water spout, yet doggedly climbed the spout again, after the sun came out and 'dried up all the rain.' Many, if not most of our American nursery rhymes originated on the other side of the pond, in England, for obvious reasons: the American colonists were British in origin, and brought with them the culture an...

The End. Is there a Beginning...?

This is my first post back on Tikkun Olam since April 23rd, 2015. It does not feel real. Why is it that we never think we will ever have a JOLT in our lives that will change the entire life course we have been traveling? We continue on, day by day, complacent, even in the face of serious illness--believing that what we are living is the only reality; that it is immutable, that it is PHYSICAL: you can touch it, feel it, and it will continue to be there for you tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... But it isn't. And it won't.  Because the unthinkable can, and does, happen, in time. To everybody. As it happened to me, almost a year ago, on August 10, 2015, when my DH - Dear Husband, of 46 years, died. I am living in an Alternate Universe. Because the universe in which I was living all my life until now, is gone. I still want to slap myself in the face and wake myself up. It's a dream. A terrible nightmare.  It's a horror movie with a frightening ending, but I will...

Hijab for Jewish Women?

Image
Someone used this phrase in a comment on a post about the hijab wearing Jewish women in Ramat Bet Shemesh Alef: "modern Hareidi community;" this is an oxymoron. Just for the record, I rarely agree with a Hareidi interpretation of anything. This mode of dress is just a bad interpretation of a good concept ( tzniyut ) taken to extremes. Personally, I cover my hair because I feel it increases my humility by remembering that there is a G-d above me ( not because of the reason of less attraction to men). I chose many years ago to do so; but I have come to believe a woman can be Orthodox without covering her hair all the time; just while in shul, and where it shows respect for the Torah, such as at shiurim, or where it is the preferred mode of dress, such as at yeshiva dinners and the like. But to go to the grocery? Not necessarily . I think the whole message of tzniyut is lost in those hijab cases: where will they go next? Hiding in the home and not going out? Sitting behind a cur...
