Reserved for ArikMay 26, 2003 Dear Emma and Abba,   It’s time that I again fill you in. Yesterday, you cannot imagine what happened here. I’ve been here for over two years, but you know, time here isn’t like time where you are, there’s so much more. But yesterday, what a ruckus, what noise, what bewilderment. Everyone was running around, […]

The Inner Core May 19, 2003 There are weeks when I ask myself, what are we going to talk about tonight. And there are weeks when there is so much to say, too much to say. Friday night, rather than pray at Ma’arat HaMachpela, over 100 people worshiped outside Beit Hadassah, in the street. It was 23 years ago, on […]

Rejoicing in Our Land May 12, 2003 Shalom. Yesterday Arab terror stole its 768th victim of the Oslo War, fifty two year old Tzion David, father of six, including an eight year old son, who will never ever again play with his daddy. In today’s newspapers we are treated to the theatre of the absurd, pictures of a smiling Tzion […]

Walking alone May 5, 2003 Shalom. Tonight begins Yom HaZikaron, Israeli memorial day. Bituach Leumi, the Israeli version of Social Security, announced that in the past year two hundred and eighteen Israelis were killed in terror attacks with over five thousand five hundred injured. Amongst those killed were ‘the twelve heroes’, three Kiryat Arba civilians, belonging to the town’s emergency […]

The Real Abu MazenApril 30, 2003 Everyone seems to be standing in line to shake his hand, to give him a hug, wish him luck, and help him on his way to eternal fame and glory. George Bush will invite him to the White House. Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. And even our Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, in […]

Negotiating with Nazis?April 28, 2003 Shalom. Being that tonight marks the beginning of the Memorial Day for victims of the Holocaust and victims of terror, I believe it is appropriate to broach the following subject. Last week I spoke at length about the soon-to-be Prime Minister of the Palestinian Terrorist Authority, Abu Mazen. Abu Mazen’s doctoral thesis accused the Zionist […]

Where are the Voices of Conscience? April 21, 2003 Shalom. Everyone seems to be standing in line to shake his hand, to give him a hug, wish him luck, and help him on his way to eternal fame and glory. George Bush will invite him to the White House. Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. And even our Israeli Prime […]

Destined from Birth By David Wilder The Jewish Community of Hebron April 7, 2003 Shalom. Every once in a while it’s nice to skip the heavy stuff and write about lighter, happier, events. True, the present situation is such that it’s not difficult to find something of major importance to deal with, but in all honesty, I’m a little tired […]

Appeacement March 31, 2003 Shalom. Tomorrow afternoon we will gather for a memorial service, standing at the entrance to the Avraham Avinu neighborhood, at the foot of the Abu Sneneh hills.  This Friday will mark the second anniversary of the killing, in cold blood, of ten month old Shalhevet Pass. Shalhevet was murdered after one of Arafat’s terrorist cronies ordered […]

Swimming in the Mediterranean March 24, 2003 Shalom. It was only a couple of months ago when terrorists knocked on the door of the Uzeri family, living in a make-shift house, just north of Kiryat Arba proper. When Nati answered the door, he was instantaneously shot and killed. Two children were injured. The terrorists arrived complete with materials to burn […]
