Then, third solutions emerge.<br /><br />I think everyone's wrong and everyone's right. <br /><br />But there is a third solution out there that may shock the heck out of us - and I, for one, don't know what it looks like :)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516263423880877635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-51015977431195453682010-06-17T19:26:35.588+03:002010-06-17T19:26:35.588+03:00Your bracelets remind me of my family, some on the...Your bracelets remind me of my family, some on the left, some on the right, both pro- and anti-disengageent, but ALWAY pro our boys and girls serving this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-90397646126325877652010-06-17T03:52:02.946+03:002010-06-17T03:52:02.946+03:00Hashem is using science to give us the message tha...Hashem is using science to give us the message that we're all family. Case in point--an article about a recent genetic study of Jews. Here is an excerpt: <br />(Here's the link for the full article <br /> http://www.newsweek.com/2010/06/03/the-dna-of-abraham-s-children.html)<br /><br />"...As the scientists will report in the next issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, the analysis shows that “each of the Jewish populations formed its own distinctive cluster, indicating the shared ancestry and relative genetic isolation of the members of each of those groups.”<br /><br />Jewish populations, that is, have retained their genetic coherence just as they have retained their cultural and religious traditions, despite migrations from the Middle East into Europe, North Africa, and beyond over the centuries, says geneticist Harry Ostrer of NYU Langone Medical Center, who led the study. Each Diaspora group has distinctive genetic features “representative of each group’s genetic history,” he says, but each also “shares a set of common genetic threads” dating back to their common origin in the Middle East. “Each of the Jewish populations formed its own distinctive cluster, indicating the shared ancestry and relative genetic isolation of the members of each of those groups.”<br /><br />The various Jewish groups were more related to each other than to non-Jews, as well. Within every Jewish group, individuals shared as much of their genome as two fourth or fifth cousins..."<br /><br />So, you see...we really are all cousins!Shalomisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-67308557341366702622010-06-16T21:44:15.269+03:002010-06-16T21:44:15.269+03:00sometimes there might be a thing you feel you real...sometimes there might be a thing you feel you really HAVE to do. But to do it right you may have to put it off for a while, so as to ensure you have all the pieces in place to really get it done right. Sometimes we feel that that hilltop just has to be settled, that border just has to come down, those houses just have to be built on another piece of land, so we can fulfill our destiny and our heritage in our land, as one nation, one people. However, if concentration on this, if our everyday practicalities keeps us away from the other things that also need to be done, we will be never be able to settle "right" The anger that can be felt across a crosswalk, the small, but brave attempt at saying the right thing to appease this anger is NOT ENOUGH. Without the lady in the beautiful scarf, the house in the hilltop can never become home. We need her! Maybe we can put the stones, and rocks down for a bit, they're stones after all, they'll wait for our return. The lady in the beautiful scarf however, is crossing that walk, turning the corner and walking away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
