ISRAEL UPDATE October 14, 2016UNESCO Backs Motion Erasing Jewish Ties to Temple MountUNESCO adopted an anti-Israel resolution Thursday that disregards Judaism’s historic connection to the Temple Mount and casts doubt on the link between Judaism and the Western Wall. Twenty-four countries voted in favor of the decision while six voted against and 26 abstained while just two were missing from the vote. The U.S., Britain, Germany, Holland, Lithuania and Estonia voted against the resolution. According to Haaretz, a senior source said that the efforts of Israeli diplomats significantly changed the votes of European states, none of which supported the motion. The resolution asserted that Jerusalem is holy to the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. However, it includes a special section dealing with the Temple Mount, which says the site is sacred only to Muslims and fails to mention that it is sacred to the Jews as well. In fact, it mentions neither the Hebrew term for the site—Har HaBayit—nor its English equivalent, the Temple Mount. The site is referred to only by its Muslim names—Al-Aqsa Mosque and Haram al-Sharif.

RABBI’S JOKE OF THE WEEK: A rabbi, a priest, and a minister were talking together one day in Central Park. The priest told of an occasion when he was caught in a snowstorm so terrible that he couldn’t see more than a foot in front of him. He was completely confused, unsure even of which direction he needed to walk. He prayed to God, and miraculously, while the storm continued for miles in every direction, he could clearly see his home 20 miles away. The minister told a similar story. He had been out on a small boat when a heavy storm struck. There were 20-foot high waves, and the boat was sure to capsize. He prayed to God, and, while the storm continued all around, for several feet in each direction, the sea calmed, and the minister was able to return safely to port. The rabbi, too, had such a story. One Sabbath morning, on the way home from his shul, he saw a very thick wad of $100 bills in the gutter. Of course, since it was Shabbat, the rabbi wasn’t able to touch the money. So he prayed to God, and everywhere, for miles in every direction, it was still Shabbat, but for 10 feet around him, it was Thursday.
