CHUKAT 5784 Living in a ‘Chok’ World Rabbi Andrew Shaw Chief Executive, Mizrachi UK
“It just doesn’t make sense; how can people think that?!” That’s what one can think when looking at so many different situations going on in the world right now. ·
How can there be so much pro-Hamas propaganda on campuses, supposedly places
of intellectual and critical thought, across the globe? ·
How can international bodies of peace like the UN and UNWRA act so disgracefully
and be so openly antisemitic? ·
How can a world, just 80 years on from the the greatest genocide of Jews in history,
allow antisemitism to significantly grow and increase everywhere? · How can Israel, defending itself against a genocidal terror group, be so egregiously vilified in its most just cause of all causes? There are many more areas that could be included. Yes, life is confusing and somewhat troubling and very worrying and yet the first words of this week’s parsha are an answer as to how we should act in the current situation. https://mailchi.mp/mizrachi/dvar-torah-for-parashat-chukat-17980834
