Good Shabbos to all, or Shavua Tov if you are reading this a bit later. I hope you have had a good week.
The Parsha this week is all about the sacrifices which should be made, and when. It also covers the handover from Moses to Joshua who would be the new leader of the Jewish hoard as they move back into their "Promised land".
Recently, the International Court of Justice has come to the conclusion that Israel has no right to be involved in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip or the Eastern part of the city of Jerusalem. The judgement was made by the Presiding Judge Nawaf Salam. In our News from Israel, Alan Davis (Husband of Carolyne) explains how corrupt this judgement was and how his vice President of the court dissented.
Since then Bibi has gone to Washington and addressed Congress and met with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and will meet with Donald Trump. It is to be h Thatoped that his trip will convince all that Israel does have the right to defend itself. I am sure we will hear more about this in the coming days.
Thank you to Corinne Rachelle for her recipe for Roasted Courgette Dip. At this time of the year, such confections are very welcome.
On the lighter side, those of you who take an interest will have been delighted by Brighton's 5-1 victory over the first of their Japanese hosts.Kashima Antlers. Their next game is on Sunday at 11am and can be watched live - ask me if you want the route to watch it.
I am delighted to say that Jack Kaye has opened his Pre-Season thoughts with his reflections on Season 2023/4. Thank you Jack
This sporting feast continues this weekend - Test Match Cricket, Albion Football, Motor Racing and above everything the Paris Olympics - I just pray that there is no violence against the Israeli team.
So, good weather is forecasted, Enjoy that and have fun
Shabbat Shalom
Nick
