<TD width=388 height=306><FONT face=Verdana>Rabbi Meir Kahane, the founder
of the Jewish Defence League stated the following, which applies to this
parsha. </FONT><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> "What is the Jew? Thanks to the Exile, we
have lost sense of the original, authentic, Divinely ordained and ordered
concept of what is a Jew. On the one hand, there are those who have
rejected the authority, let alone the Divinity, of Torah and mitzvoth. For
them, the Jew is a "people", a "nation". On the other hand, thanks to the
</SPAN></EM></SPAN><I><FONT face=Verdana><BR></FONT><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">destructive nature of the Exile, and because
events cut the Jew off from his land and from national existence, other
Jews- who clove unto the Torah and the mitzvoth - made Judaism into a
"religion." Both are cripples, one limping on the foot of "nationalism"
and the other on the foot of "religion."<BR></SPAN></EM></SPAN></I><FONT
face=Verdana><BR></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">But the Jew is not a cripple. G-d made him
with two legs, and the authentic healthy Jew walks on both of them. The
Jew is neither mere "nation," nor a "religion,' But rather a
religious-nation, a holy people. The Jew is a nation and a people with
ties to a specific land but which was chosen to be special and holy and
cleaving unto G-d's </SPAN></EM><I><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Law and mitzvoth. That is what the Jew is and
that is what has been changed and warped, due to the
Exile.</SPAN></EM></I><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR> </SPAN></EM></SPAN></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD width=388 bgColor=#ffffff height=63><EM><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">That is what the Talmud tells us when it
decrees a blessing over the land; a thing that ordains nation and land,
and then insists that one must include in it the Covenant and Torah. One
who skips the blessing over the land has surely not fulfilled his
obligation. But one, who says the blessing over the land and does not
mention Torah or the Covenant, fails just as much in his
obligation.</SPAN></EM>
<P><EM><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">One looks about the camp of
Jewishness - the "nationalists" and the 'religious" and sees why the
Almighty regrets having made the Exile. It is the Exile and its immutable
influence on the Jew within it, which has corrupted and counterfeited
authentic Judaism and Jewishness. It has created warped and false concepts
of Judaism that the Almighty One never created and wholly rejects. The
land, the nation, and the Torah is what the Jew
blesses".</SPAN></EM></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>To be holy, also means to take a stand for
justice. While Jews are preparing to honour 'Israel at 60', there
will also be countless protests against Israel. These events are
called 'the nakba'. There will be calls for the rights of the
so-called Palestinian refugees. There will be events held in every
major city in the world attacking the right of Israel to
exist. <BR><BR>One such event is taking place in
Toronto. </FONT><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><STRONG><I><U><SPAN
