"Jewish Organizations and Moses"

In The Light of the Jewish Idea of Rabbi Kahane

by Nachum Shifren 

 
Walk into any Jewish organization and you'll notice: plush, thick carpets, exotic wood paneling, obligatory "plaques" of appreciation and jobs well done, state-of-the-art copiers, printers, DSL up the ying-yang, the works. And you'll have to make an appointment. And you'll have to be scheduled. And they're just to busy to deal with your "individual case". Like when some punk in one of my classrooms threatened to kill me, I received a letter from the Jewish Leftist ACLU that this "individual case" was outside their parameters. Ditto for the ADL.
 
The comfortable, the well-healed, the corpulent....the NON-JEWISH, anti-Jewish, Jews, who suck the money and life out of the Jewish soul and pocketbook, but when Jewish survival is at stake, definitive, hard-hitting action is deemed as "inappropriate" or "someone else's thing" 
 
But this week's torah portion tells us a different type of "Jewish activist", Moses. Not exactly politically correct. He kills an anti Semite for his inhumane treatment of a fellow Jew. So simple, so improbable, so truly Jewish.
