    Yossi…I am a Christian well aware of the absolutely vital and inseparable link between our faiths, a passing grasp of some aspects of Jewish history. I am doing a bit of study on Torah , and am a Freemason who enjoys companionship of Jews in Lodge, and an occasional Synagogue trip. What I cannot get is why , on earth, and for the love of the Most High , do Jews ever have to be told to “Wake UP Isnt an appreciation of history enough to keep everyone on the edge of their seats, sandals snug and staff in hand?. Of course, I am glad you are sounding an alarm…but Holy Smoke ! any snoozing Jew is certainly in jeapordy and putting others at risk. Keep up the good work. You have friends out here in the clan of the “Rebel Rabbi”..
