Happy Hanukkah... or Chanukah (there's no Latin alphabet equivalent for the guttural Hebrew "ch" sound). Today we're going to talk about Israel and all that, but we're also going to chat about Donald Trump.
I'm a somewhat skeptical Trump supporter. When I look at the state of the world, and our bureaucratic morass, I see the need for a strong leader who can cut through the crap and scare the bad guys.
Except...
I'm not sure Trump is focused anymore; he's damaged by January 6 and is obsessed with the 2020 election. I'm not sure he's scary anymore; Biden has weakened the U.S. too much since, anyway.
And I'm not sure Trump's somewhat erratic behavior will be as much of an asset this time. I am more impressed -- flaws and all -- with an even-keeled candidate like Nikki Haley. (Ducks rotten tomato)
So... let's talk!

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
