The Rain of Missiles and Mortars on Israel Intensifies
Half a dozen Kassam MISSILES!!!… A building badly damaged and one Israeli injured… A miracle???… Or, maybe, just a statistical blip???…
In one day alone, 22 mortar rounds…
It’s a Matter of Choice Whether or not to Believe in the Presence of a Master of the Universe
It All Started Here…No Miracles Necessary…Everything Was SOoo Clear!!!
And they didn’t always make the right choice, did they???
But even back then, man had freedom of choice…
OR DID THEY???
The First Choice…
Life was easy… But “No Pain, No Gain!!!”(even back then)… So all good things must come to an end…On to bigger and better things…
Before that first choice…
Is This a Miracle???….Or Just Random Circling of Molecules???
From Seed Like This……..To Fields Like This
To This!!!…Life Itself!!!
What About This???…A Miracle???…or A Random Universe???
It’s all the SAME THING… A Creator, a Master of the Universe, a Divine Power that runs the world… Or a random, meaningless series of unconnected chaotic events… THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!!
You can choose to believe in what you chose to believe…
Parent and Child
The parent allows the child to participate in the running of the world… Even if the child is really not yet worthy or able… The parent wants to cultivate a close relationship with the child… To help the child grow in competence and self-worth… The parent helps the child to earn his place in this world… And the Next…
The model of our relationship with our Creator is that of Parent and Child…

Maimonides-The Rambam
Rabbi Moses ben Maimon
The Rambam’s 13 Principles of Jewish Faith
1. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is the Creator and Ruler of all things. He alone has made, does make, and will make all things.
2. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is One. There is no unity that is in any way like His. He alone is our G-d He was, He is, and He will be.
3. I believe with perfect faith that G-d does not have a body. physical concepts do not apply to Him. There is nothing whatsoever that resembles Him at all.
4. I believe with perfect faith that G-d is first and last.
5. I believe with perfect faith that it is only proper to pray to G-d. One may not pray to anyone or anything else.
6. I believe with prefect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.
7. I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses is absolutely true. He was the chief of all prophets, both before and after Him.
8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that we now have is that which was given to Moses.
9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be changed, and that there will never be another given by G-d.
10. I believe with perfect faith that G-d knows all of man’s deeds and thoughts. It is thus written (Psalm 33:15), “He has molded every heart together, He understands what each one does.”
11. I believe with perfect faith that G-d rewards those who keep His commandments, and punishes those who transgress Him.
12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah. How long it takes, I will await His coming every day.
13. I believe with perfect faith that the dead will be brought back to life when G-d wills it to happen. (yes, Judaism believes in an afterlife, life after death!)
The Rambam’s Grave in Tiberius, Israel
“From Moses [of the Torah] to Moses [Maimonides] there was none like Moses.”
This is the inscription you will see on the tombstone of Maimonides, The Rambam, when you visit here, in Tiberius, Israel
