- Shabbat and Holidays
- The High Holidays
- The Month of Elul
The next time we are stuck in traffic jams in Jerusalem or on the Ayalon highway; that we hear terrible news about terrorist attacks; traffic accidents; and violent political discourse – it is important to remember: 755 years ago, there were only two brothers here – and today, a whole world.
Sometimes, on the personal level, we find in our hearts only "two brothers who were painters", it seems to us that we are drowning in sins and failures, and the good in us is few and hopeless. The month of Elul is a good time to remember - in the end, the two brothers who painted became a metropolis; the good prevails, even if it takes time.
The bad will pass.
The good will prevail.
With God's help.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
