One of the really inspiring things to 'Sabra' Israelis was seeing a 'Westerner' who actually made Aliyah and volunteered for the full service in the IDF; it's something they repeatedly remarked on: "If only there were more like you!", and also changed their attitude quite a bit [in important things].<BR/><BR/>See, we ['Westerners'] have much more profound influence on 'Sabras' [even 'rabid-leftist' types, especially them, because they so want to be us] than say, an 'East Bloc Goy' who was dragged to Israel by Rabin from the collapsing soviet union.<BR/><BR/>The only problem is that there aren't more of us, and I think this is the big thing that many G-d fearing, 'nationalist' Jews who don't make Aliyah will have to answer for [much more important, in my opinion, then if Bereishit is a myth or not, and all that waste-of-brainpower and life which is torturing many golus 'righteous' ones]<BR/><BR/><BR/><B>Truth.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-1133244286558836122005-11-29T08:04:00.000+02:002005-11-29T08:04:00.000+02:00Revolution and major changes are normally a cumula...Revolution and major changes are normally a cumulative thing. They build up slowly until one moment you suddenly reaches a tipping point. Sort of like the “Don’t spill the beans” game you probably played as a child.<BR/><BR/>Everyone makes a difference. <BR/>True, there may be one or two identifiable beans that actually tip over the pot, but without the rest of the beans before them, those beans would have no direct effect.<BR/><BR/>Just being here makes a difference, helping us reach critical mass.<BR/><BR/>You want to be one of the last beans. We all do, but the reality is that we can only add our influence. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, sometimes if you keep working at it (or get lucky) you can make yourself into a big, heavy bean; or sometimes you can place yourself in a strategic spot near the edge (if you can identify it).<BR/><BR/>In short, you can guess what I had for dinner last night.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, get yourselves over here.

As much as you fault the government, you should be faulting us who fight from the sidelines.<BR/><BR/>Yes my wife and I hope to make Aliyah. But until we do we can't make a real difference.<BR/><BR/>Do I like to admit that I'm AWOL at an important time in the history of Israel? No. But it's true.Soccer Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.com
