TALK IS CHEAP: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is!

Posted on November 19, 2008 at 4:57pm 0 Comments

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.

After an impassioned lecture on the virtues of patriotism and the Marxist system of government, a local communist party leader was asked: "Sir, what would you do if you were to own two houses?"

Barely able to contain his proud grin, the official cried out, "Why, of course I would give one away to my comrades!"

"And what would you do if you were to own a second automobile?"

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all

Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards

Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale

But the real problem with this man

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.

Like it or not, we are each engaged in a battle against our own set of mean genes. They are wily opponents too. Masters of the visceral, they control through satisfaction, pain, and pleasure.

(Dr.'s Terry Burnham and Jay Phelan, Mean Genes)

Destroy man's desire to sin, our sages tell us, and you would destroy the world.

Not that anyone needs to sin. But one who lacks the desire to sin is not a citizen of this world. And without citizens, who… Continue

Moving (Forward) In Circles

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Florida

Reb Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement, was for a time, a disciple of Reb Menachem of Vitebsk (until the latter left Russia for the Holy Land in 1777).

One year on Simchas Torah, before Hakkafos (the circular procession for which the holiday of Simchas Torah is renowned), the entire synagogue was waiting for Reb Menachem Mendel to begin the recitation of the preceding verses, beginning with Atoh Hareisa. After a long unexplained… Continue
