  שש זכירות

  This class gave me a lot to think about when I remember the שש זכירות during the passionate ברכה of אהבת עולם (talking all about Hashem's love to us and back), where עמלק and מתן תורה are two of them; so this class just brought out the strong feelings of pride as I was feeling while listening to the class, which continues now on every morning. Combine that with the class you gave about remembering מרים - about her watching the miracle of exodus (not לשון הרע as usually explained).

  Thank you very much!

  Sad statement

  "if they laid down their weapons there wouldn't be any war"

  This is why they laugh in our faces. Anytime they get bored of fighting they surrender and they have a happy life afterwards. We take good care of them in our prisons until we release them.

  That's not how you fight a war. They're laughing at us. And they will continue to laugh at us until we act like soldiers of Hashem fighting Amalek.

    See what Shmuel did to noncombatant Agag. 

    Shimon and Levi in shechem.

    If we want respect we need to respect our brutalized sisters and burned children.

    The war cannot end when they surrender. How shameful would that be.

      Thanks for exposing the logical truth. I don't understand how we can serve food and any comfort to people who love only to killing and burn our babies

  "Amalek attacked but was unprovoked and

  Had NO reason to attack..

  Just maybe.....they heard that the yidden had emptied Mitzrayim of its wealth both before leaving and at the yam suf. Maybe Amalek waged war to get the booty!

  "Why would Yisro leave Midian when he

  Was on top, comfortable,  a leader, eyc.?

  The same question can be asked of any modern day.BT who becomes frum NOT because he hit bottom, but when he was."on top" one way or the other. 

  The answer is: because it's EMES!

      Mendel, people can disagree what is the emes. Reform think they have the emes. Atheists also. Xtians also. Even Hamas, rm"l.

  "Yisro heard and came...."

  How did Yisro hear? If he heard of Mattan Torah or Krias yam suf then, nu, everyone in the world heard Hashem's voice or saw water split. If either of these 2, still, Yisro was in Midian. How did he make it with his daughter and grandsons hundreds of miles to the desert so quickly? 

  And, if he heard of Amalek, how did news of this war get to Midian in the days before telephones? Ok, news traveled by caravans, but that strengthens tye question above because it took much time for news to get to Midian and then for Yisro to then travel to the yidden. 

  In general in those days, except for miracles, it is hard to understand how news traveled great distances in a short time..e.g. Yakov "heard" there was food in Mitztrayim. How?

  "The most important event in human history

  Is contained in this week's paraha; yet the name of the parsha us Yisro, not Mattan Torah.

  But.....Hashem dictated the Torah to Moshe the stenographer,  without parsha breaks, without parsha names, etc. Later on people, not Hashem broke up the Torah into parshas and gave them names.

  Altho everything is by hashgocha protis, yet the actual division into parshas and the names given are the results of human effort.
