 Gilad is FREE: A Heavy-Hearted Celebration
Gilad Shalit has come home. Is this a time for euphoria or to be upset?
The head tells us that this is a terrible deal.
The lopsided exchange may lead to more terrorism, more Israeli deaths. Nadav Shragi, in a report by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs analyzed the aftermath of the exchange in 2004 of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners for an Israeli soldier held captive.
According to Shragi, "those freed in the deal murdered 35 Israelis" by 2007. And of course, the lopsided exchange may inspire more hostage takings, more kidnappings, more ransoms to be paid.

The First Rashi: It's OUR Land!
With our incredible, joyful "Simchat Torah" celebration, the Jewish people have just concluded the annual reading of the entire Torah - the Five Books of Moses. This Shabbat we begin anew - starting with the Book of Breishis (Genesis).
Our most famous bible commentator is Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, commonly known as "Rashi". He lived in France 1000 years ago and was perhaps the premier Torah scholar of all time. We cannot imagine studying the Bible or the Talmud without the universal, insightful comments and explanations of Rashi.

Dr. King's unequivocal renunciation of anti-Zionism reflected his consistent, courageous opposition to all manifestations of bigotry.
Against the backdrop of resurgent Jew hatred worldwide, epitomized by the hypocritical Durban Conference on "Racism", Dr. King's candid, thoughtful reflections on the true nature of anti-Zionism are particularly edifying.
