A Tidal Of Unprovked Hate!
Posted 9/9/2026
“מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף: אֱלֹהִים בָּאוּ גוֹיִם בְּנַחֲלָתֶךָ, טִמְּאוּ אֶת הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ, שָׂמוּ אֶת יְרוּשָׁלִַם לְעִיִּים.ב נָתְנוּ אֶת נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם, בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתוֹ אָרֶץ.ג שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם כַּמַּיִם סְבִיבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם, וְאֵין קוֹבֵר.ד הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ, לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵינוּ.” תהילים פרק יט.
“Psalm 79:
A psalm of Asaph:
- O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
- They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.
- They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
- We are objects of contempt to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.”
Look at the documentaries from the Holocaust that the Nazis themselves took and you will visually see the words Kind David described 3,000 years ago. Or look at horrific attack of October 7th, 2024, that the Gazan terrorists perpetrated and filmed their barbaric attack upon the innocent.
As we are about to enter the blessed New Year of 5787-תשפז, the words of King David have been a stark reminder to renew our faith in the King of Kings, Almighty G-d, Blessed be He.
In every generation, living among wolves who have trampled upon the ethics and humane principles, the Jewish people have always clung to their special relationship with G-d.
G-d’s Laws, described in the Torah, has been the foundation of good will among mankind. Yet, once again another monstrous ideology, supported by the so-called Western Civilized world, has aligned with those who wish to extinguish our way of life, and condemn “Little David” standing almost alone in defending the principles of humanitarianism.
In the United States, as we are about to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on 9/11/2001, we all should be grateful that the majority of our citizens are with “Little David” against the brutal Goliath of our time.
The United States and Israel share the Clarion call:
“יז. זָכ֕וֹר אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה לְךָ֖ עֲמָלֵ֑ק בַּדֶּ֖רֶךְ בְּצֵאתְכֶ֥ם מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃
יח. אֲשֶׁ֨ר קָֽרְךָ֜ בַּדֶּ֗רֶךְ וַיְזַנֵּ֤ב בְּךָ֙ כׇּל־הַנֶּחֱשָׁלִ֣ים אַֽחֲרֶ֔יךָ” דברים כ”ה.
“17. Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18. When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey (with a brutal attack).
“Remember! Never Forget!”
Deuteronomy 25.
May G-d’s Civilized laws continue to strengthen us emotionally. May we all be blessed with the ability to enhance the quality of life for mankind.
Let us remember our gift of life from G-d: the concluding proclamation of the Yom Kippur service:
“השם הוא אלוקים”
Almighty G-d is the G-d of humanity.
Wishing you all a blessed 5787-תשפ”ז.
Rabbi Tzvi Berkowitz
