MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

DAVID M. WEINBERG: The latest Iranian ICBM seems to be based on the North Korean BM25 missile with a range of 3,500 km., meaning it could reach deep into Europe.

DAVID M. WEINBERG: This accounting is particularly important as America and Israel move closer – I hope and believe – to an essential, decisive military strike on Iran's nuclear bomb facilities and missile bases.


Gal Biton: The first proper carpet, as such, is believed to have been made in Persia (now Iran) sometime around the 6th century AD. This early carpet was made from wool and was used to cover the floors of wealthy homes.

Eliyahu Safran: My grandfather references the well-known posuk (in Devarim 17:11) where we are told to always and without exception follow the decisions of the beth din (court), even if "you are convinced that they are wrong." Rashi tells us that even if the court seems to be saying that "right is left, and left is right," still we must listen.

From this my grandfather divined the lesson that we are not to stray from what our elders/chachamim teach us. Their word is God's word. We follow the Beth Din because God agrees with the Beth Din. We may not "get it" but in due time the wisdom and truth will become evident.
The last word always belongs to the beth din. God, His Torah and its legitimate interpreters.

JewishEncyclopedia: Divination by aid of the dead is said to have been common among the Persians (Strabo, xvi. 2, 39, νεκυονάντεις), and at a later time among the Greeks and Romans as well (see passages in Winer, "B. R." ii. 26). The Israelites possibly borrowed the art from the Persians, and practised it extensively, so that the Bible repeatedly forbids it (Lev. xix. 31; xx. 6, 27; Deut. xviii. 11; I Sam. xxviii.; Isa. viii. 19).

IRAN'S FARS NEWSA Mossad spy was hanged.
GOT QUESTIONS MINISTRIES: The word used for “edification” in the New Testament is oikodomé, which translates literally as “the building of a house.” It is translated into phrases such as “building up” in more modern translations. Edification is more than just encouragement; it includes any activity that results in more Christlikeness, either in oneself or in another believer. Interestingly, its usage is also limited to Paul’s letters.



GRAHAM HARTMANN: Metal is viewed as a Satanic form of music in Iran, which violates the country’s strict blasphemy laws and could result in execution.

KAY SILBERLING: A cursory analysis of the names listed in the genealogies in Num 26:35-51 and 1 Chron 7:20-27 shows that from the earliest period, Ephraim mingled with many other tribes, especially Asher, Benjamin, and Judah, two of which purportedly comprised the majority of the populace of the southern kingdom generations later.
