Think Germany early 1930's, that's how it begins. With the shooting of the couple in D.C., the attacks on Jews on the streets of NYC and in various cities with Hamas supporters attacking Jews on college campuses. If we don't put a hard BOOT on the neck of these antisemitic terrorists NOW then think AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU. We Jews have seen it all before but this time WE'RE DONE WITH THIS SHIT! NO MORE and NEVER AGAIN! We will put an end to these atrocities with or without the help of the government; we will not allow our children and our elderly to go through that ever, ever again! PERIOD!
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

This Torah portion is a powder keg of rebellion, ego, Divine smackdowns, and deep theological reflection. It’s more than just a cautionary tale, it’s a microscope on the human soul, power, leadership, and holiness.

So, what makes us Jews think we’re right when it comes to holy living? The short answer? We don’t think we’re right, we think we’re obligated.
