Caught up with homie, gave me a six pack of beer, drank most all of it preparing for Madrid. Made plans with uncle Xavier the retired psychiatrist to catch up next week in Segovia. Going to be tempting to just stay in Spain.

Despite visiting Jerusalem for a long weekend around Passover 2002, and interacting with a lot of Jews there, his Benjiness does not follow internal Israeli politics despite being aware of the multiplicity of political spectrum positions there, this documentary shows more recent political news in Israel.... You could alternatively watch reruns of Hawaii 5-0....

Benji says kill the Houthi rebels, secure Red Sea straits

 

     

    Is it time for Trump to go live in Canada?

I know that sounds wrong coming from a Muslim, right? Kill some other Muslims. How about: should a handful of mischief makers be allowed to triple diesel prices worldwide for millions??

Benji advises Israel and America to STOP the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea asap

With some Israeli lawmakers spitballing the idea of banning talking about Jesus, it begs the question: have you developed a personal relationship with Eminem? 

In Hebrew, yod (יוֹד) or yud is the tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and its name literally translates to "hand" or "arm".

The letter carries a wealth of literal, symbolic, and linguistic meanings:

1. Literal and Pictographic Meaning

The name yod is directly related to the Hebrew word for hand, yad (יָד). In ancient Proto-Sinaitic or paleo-Hebrew scripts, the letter was drawn as a pictograph resembling an outstretched arm and hand. It represents action, labor, power, and creation.

2. Numerical Value (Gematria)

In Hebrew numerology, yod represents the number 10. Because the Hebrew counting system is base-10, the sages consider yod a letter of completeness, divine order, and transition.

3. Spiritual and Symbolic Meanings

• The Divine Spark: Yod is the smallest letter in the alphabet, written as a simple, suspended dot or flame (י). Kabbalistic tradition teaches that it represents the invisible divine spark or the starting point of all creation—the point from which all other Hebrew letters are physically drawn.

• The Name of God: It is the foundational first letter of the Tetragrammaton, the holy four-letter name of God (יְהוָֹה - YHWH), as well as the name Yeshua (Jesus). Two yods written together (יי) are frequently used as an abbreviation for God's name.

• The "Jot": Because it is so small, yod is the historical source of the English phrase "not one jot or tittle" (derived from the Greek iota), meaning that even the tiniest detail will not be overlooked. In modern Hebrew, the idiom qotso shel yod (the tip of a yod) means to worry about minor, picky details.
