User:Benqish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saul Davis aka benqish

I was born in 1967 in London, England. I moved to Israel in 1992 and lived in Beer-Sheva before moving to Metar. I am a yeshiva graduate. I am both an English teacher and a lawyer, I have degrees in law and an MPA and I hold practising certificates in law and teaching high school English. I served in the Israeli military and was stationed in Tel al-Sultan refugee camp, Shebaa Farms, and other places strategic to Israeli security but that was over 20 years ago.

I am interested in articles regarding Judaism and Israel. I made the page for Pentateuch with Rashi's Commentary Translated into English and Eli Cashdan I did major edits to tefillin, Suha Arafat, Beer-Sheva and Selah.

Quotes

[edit]

Remember the words of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook:

הצדיקים הטהורים אינם קובלים על הרשעה אלא מוסיפים צדק אינם קובלים על הכפירה אלא מוסיפים אמונה אינם קובלים על הבערות אלא מוסיפים חכמה

(the pure righteous, do not complain of evil but increase justice, do not complain of heresy but increase faith, do not complain of ignorance but increase wisdom)

Think of Jonah's disturbed solution:

ויאמר אליהם שאוני והטילוני אל הים, וישתק הים, מעליכם; כי יודע אני, כי בשלי הסער הגדול הזה עליכם

"Pick me up and throw me into the sea and it will become calm; for I know that it is because of me that this great storm has come upon you".
