What a weekend it's been. On Friday, the Trump administration expelled South African ambassador Ebrahim Rasool for claiming that the president is leading a global white supremacist movement. On Saturday, President Donald Trump signed a bill to fund the government -- a major win for the GOP.
Also Saturday, the U.S. finally launched large-scale attacks on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have bedeviled international shipping through the Red Sea. El Salvador agreed to take in Venezuelan gangsters deported from the U.S. And -- well, there's just been so much news, I can barely keep up with it all.

This week's Torah reading deals with the laws of tzara'at, which is loosely (though inaccurately) translated as "leprosy." It can happen to clothes and homes as well as people. The Torah describes how to deal with and purify it.
In addition, the Torah describes what to do about the ritual impurity that accompanies bodily emissions from sexual organs -- menstruation for women and ejaculation for men -- which are a normal part of everyday adult life.
The additional reading, from II Kings 7:3-20, tells the story of the lepers who helped conquer an Aramean army that had surrounded Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram -- the ultimate example of what even the meek can do.
Joel, what is your thoughts about South Africans currently seeking asylum in the USA? Do you think we ( they) have a realistic chance of receiving asylum? I have substantial amount of evidence of persecution, even a ANC letter stating “ they don’t condemn the violence by their comrades”. I saw your recent interviews and just starting to watch and read your posts on X. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks
