The American people have always overwhelmingly supported one of their closest allies, Israel, but, all too often, American government policy does not seem to bear this out…
Two cases in point recently were highlighted in the media…
Rosen and Weissman...Two Ruined Lives
The FBI’s unfounded pursuit and subsequent failed prosecution of AIPAC’s Steve Rosen…
And then there’s Condoleeza Rice’s massive espionage campaign against Israel…
How can this be?

Then, there’s the granddaddy of them all…Jonathan Pollard…Imprisoned for 25 years…Time to let him go…
Shinya Maeda
Also…Israeli cuisine reaches new peaks as Chef Brueh retires in Tel Aviv, accompanied by world-renowned Gorden Ramsay protege Shinya Maeda from Japan…
And…Yeshiva Rabbis ban the new plague…cellular telephones…
David and Goliath
Plus…David and Goliath Redux, and Macy Gray is on the way (even if she does call some of her fans “assholes”)…

Judaism and Gay Marriage: Still trying to understand the “Jewish Perspective”
Written by Marty Roberts on August 30, 2010 – 7:46 am -Also…Yitzhak Rabin Street in Madrid…
And…No Arabs, No Terror?…True or False???
Judaism and Gay Marriage
Judaism CLEARLY distinguishes the HOMOSEXUAL from HOMOSEXUALITY…
Sometimes, it’s a bit hard to understand…
There is NO relationship in Jewish Law that is holier than the contract of marriage between a man and a woman…
It is one of the most clearly defined relationships…clearly defined by divinely-given, absolute Jewish Law…
Maybe Not PC…But Deserving Jail Time?
The Israeli courts have yet to decide…
Would THIS Have Occurred Without Arabs, (of the Jihadist-Terrorist variety) in Madrid???
Highly doubtful…
But Yitzhak Rabin got a street named after him in Spain, anyway…
(The country having the distinction of being in the “Original Four” recognizing gay marriage)

What is the Jewish view on what happens to the body and soul after death?
How does Jewish Law and Custom relate to these fundamental concepts? Do Jews believe in resurrection of the dead? How do “real-life” experiences of death and near-death support Jewish Laws and Customs? (listen to some people’s true stories!!!) Also…what are our “rights and responsibilities” to our physical body in this world, given these Jewish principles of body and soul?

The Goodness of The Jewish Soul: – Is THIS the reason Jews sometimes act weird?
Written by Marty Roberts on August 25, 2010 – 8:13 am -Is THIS the reason that we so often act contrary to the interests of our own people?
Maybe It’s NOT Just Self-Hatred – But the inherent Goodness of The Jewish Soul…
Do we see our enemies as being like ourselves,
even when nothing could be further from the truth?…

How Long Will We Let Our Enemies Distort History For Their own Purposes???

Purim Katan-Things are Almost Never As They Seem
Written by Marty Roberts on August 15, 2010 – 10:35 am -
No…..Things are Almost NEVER As They Seem!
Happy “Little” Purim to You All!!!
What is the significance of the “Hidden Hand of The Creator” pulling strings behind the scenes? This is, indeed, the over-riding theme in the story of the first attempted “Final Solution” for the Jews….the story of Purim. This edition of “The Marty Roberts Show”, recorded on “Purim Katan”, or the “small” holiday of Purim in the first month of Adar, is devoted to discussing just that…how, quite often, things are NOT REALLY as they seem on the surface.
Marty is fond of saying that….
Purim is one of the stranger Jewish Holiday…but it also shares the distinction, with only ONE other Holy Day, Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement, as being singled out in the Talmud for the ONLY TWO holidays that will continue to be celebrated in The World-to-Come!!!
What’s so special about this day?
The story of Purim details the saving of the Jewish People, living in exile in Persia, from total destruction, the original “Final Solution” of the evil Haman. The salvation is clearly made possible by a series of miraculous events…but NOT ONCE is the Name of G-d mentioned in the entire story!!!! All of the miracles take place within the framework of “nature”. And what, after all, is “nature”, anyway?
Maybe THAT is exactly the message!!!
Today, we are talking about “Purim Katan”, or “Little” Purim. This year is a “leap year” in the Jewish calendar.
Marty explains what THAT is all about in this show, as well.
The Jewish calendar is a complicated combination of Lunar (moon-based) months, joined together to make up a solar year. This makes the individual months predictable, but can lead to problems with the seasons staying attached to particular months!!! (as they DO NOT in the Moslem lunar calendar)
The ancient Jewish Sages, who were quite expert in astronomy, and they developed a nineteen-year cycle, which included seven “leap years”, each providing for an additional month. This repeating cycle assures a regular, steady flow of the months, while keeping the holidays in their proper seasons!!!!
Enjoy the show, and “Happy Purim” to you!!!!
