by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
A man was once accused of a serious crime. The evidence was so incriminating that a guilty verdict seemed inevitable. In desperation, the defendant hired a prominent attorney. “Your only hope,” advised the lawyer “is to enter a plea of insanity. You will need to act crazy in court.

At the trial, the man followed his counsel’s advice and began making strange noises; jumping up and down and waving his hands. He performed so well that the case was soon dismissed.

To his utter dismay, when the lawyer approached his client to collect his fee, the man resumed his ridiculous stunt; making strange motions and sounds. His expert advice had come back to haunt him – he had become the butt of his own clever ploy.

Suspected in a Gun-Run, Arrested for Dis-Con

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Late afternoon Wednesday, girls walking home from school and mothers watching their children play in the park witnessed how the intersection, of Lefferts and Albany Ave flooded with scores of police cars and vans, and subsequently the arrest of a Black teen. Then as quick as they swamped the intersection, they were gone, leaving everyone wondering what happened.

In an imperfect world a famed man can be defamed. A practitioner of benevolence can be terrorized by malevolence. A man of refreshing candor becomes the victim of violent slander. Yet while I knew of the libel against him, I also knew that in good times and not such good times, we Jews inquire of our fellows' welfare. In the most precarious of conditions, we will still be curious of our brethren's well being. Resting my palm upon his arm, and with near sarcastic thoughts, I asked how he was. With his humility, integrity, and sincerity, he responded, “the grace of G-d.” A wholehearted answer from a man who walks wholeheartedly with G-d, and who with relentless goodness makes the world a home for G-dliness.

Faced with horrific aspersion, he maintains propriety with devout assertion. With venomous assaults on his person, he continues to be a kind and different kind of person.

But no good deed goes unpunished, and no act of charity goes unresented.

The Rebbe says:

1. At the end of this week’s Torah portion the Torah tells us of the commandment to remember what the nation of Amalek did to us. The Torah reads, “Remember what Amalek did to you on the road, on your way out of Egypt. That he met you on the way and cut off those lagging to your rear, when you were tired and exhausted; he did not fear G-d. Therefore... you must obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens. Do not forget”.

When we analyze these words of the Torah we will see that there are three elements here. Firstly there is the commandment to remember what Amalek did to us. Secondly there is the commandment not to forget what Amalek did to us. And thirdly, there is the commandment to wipe out Amalek.

2. The Rebbe shows how important this is:
