¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

There has been much speculation in the pro-Israel community as to President-elect Biden’s approach to the Middle East. Certainly President Trump has approached matters differently than did President Obama but much has changed since then and Preisdent-elect Biden will need to deal with the present facts on the ground rather than four years ago. Interestingly Mr. Biden had stated at one point that he had no plans to move the American embassy back from Jerusalem to Tel-Aviv. Hopefully this message will resonate with our allies and foes alike. More importantly it is a direct political and religious declaration that Jerusalem is the capitol of a sovereign nation founded in 1948, but gifted to Avrohom described by the Torah. That is why this week’s Parsha depicting the intense negotiations between Avrohom and the Bnei Ches carries so much significance. Sovereignty over the land is established by contract and Hashem’s promise to the Jewish people is memorialized for all time. May Hashem bless President-elect Biden with the wisdom and fortitude to carry these sentiments to the White House come January 20, 2021.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
