¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

`David Ben Gurion in an address shortly after a successful military victory in July 1948 during the war of Independence stated the following; “ I hope I have said enough to make you understand that VICTORY ALONE, BE IT THE MOST CONCLUSIVE IN WAR AND IN POLITICS, WILL NOT SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS. Even if we emerge into the light, our path will be beset by stumbling-blocks and vexed by mind-ventures. How to win through? …..by intellectual and moral primacy.”

While I would not under usual circumstances quote Ben Gurion for divrei Torah he certainly understood the real challenge of establishing a moral society after the war of Independence. We celebrate a military victory on Chanukah not by parades but by lighting the menorah of the mitzvah Or.

Happy Chanukah
Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well. We mention their names at each Torah reading. 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 .
