jacobinesque: A man came across a beach covered in starfish that had washed ashore. Further along he saw a boy throwing the starfish back into the ocean. “What are you doing?” he asked the boy. The boy responded “The tide is going out and if the starfish don’t get back into ocean they will die.”

“But there are thousands of starfish on this beach!” the man said. “You can’t possibly save them all. Even if you worked all day, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

The boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean. “It made a difference to that one.” 

That starfish was Albert Einstein.

Tamar Kadari: According to one tradition, when Jacob saw Joseph’s sons and wished to bless them, the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) departed from him. Jacob thought that Manasseh and Ephraim were not the sons of a legitimate marital union, and were therefore unfit to receive a blessing. Jacob asked (v. 8): "Who are these?", that is, how were these born? (Midrash Aggadah [ed. Buber] 48:8). In another tradition, Jacob saw with the spirit of divine inspiration that Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite, would erect (statues of) calves, incite Israel to engage in idolatry, and cause five hundred thousand of Israel to fall in a single day (as is related in II Chron. 13:17). Jacob therefore asked: "Who are these?"—perhaps you improperly married the mother of these? Joseph brought before him Asenath and her ketubah (marriage contract) and said (Gen. 48:9): "They are my sons, whom God has given me here [ba-zeh, literally, with this]": "with this"—with a ketubah and proper marriage. He also showed him that, just as he was circumcised, so were his sons (Midrash ha-Gadol, Vayehi 48:8–9 [ed. Margaliot], pp. 820–21).

His Excellency Ambassador Menashe Bar On and Deputy Chief of Mission Adam Levene recently called on UA&P President Dr. Jose Maria Mariano and other school officials. Both sides have expressed their intentions to enhance education opportunities between the University and Israel.

"Before the Tribes of Israel would cross the River Jordan and enter the Promised Land, the first among them had already taken possession of territory east of the River Jordan. These were the half tribes of Manasseh, Gad and Reuben who liberated the Bashan and Gilead from the Amorites." ~ Victor Sharpe

‎"We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle and cities for our little ones. But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. We will not return unto our houses until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance." ~ Gad and Reuven

Sukkos-Lantern Festival: G'shem

Been researching the bond between [4 Species of] Israeli Sukkot-{Objects of} Far Eastern Lantern Festival music and dance, which generally occur at the same time each year.

"Each of the four 'play' instruments of Korean SamulNori reflects a different weather condition: the Yanggu (an hourglass-shaped drum) represents rain, the Kkwaenggwari (a small gong) thunder, the Jing (a larger gong) wind, and the Buk (a barrel drum similar to the bass drum) clouds. The philosophy of Yin-Yang is also embedded in these percussive instruments: Buk and Janggu (Leather) symbolize sounds of earth, while Jing and Kkwaenggwari (Metal) symbolize sounds of the firmaments. SamulNori depicts traditional Korean culture: an agricultural society rooted in the natural environment, who perform rice farming music in villages to ensure and to celebrate good harvests for the coming year. In Korea, wind instruments are generally not used to petition for heavenly moisture, but rely solely on seasonally loud percussion."

Depending on merit {or lack thereof}, there is generally a trio of possible manifestations, a pair which is not so pleasant: 1). Existential Flood 2). Existential Drought 3). Life-Sustaining Bene-ficial G'shem {not too mats, not too little: Just  enough Yum Kippour 'em Precipitation in its proper time to last until next year's Sukkot-Lantern Festivities}
