| Queries on: Classical Hebrew Vov, & First letter for Israel & Jerusalem in English |

Posted by: Robert - 11-14-2021, 10:19 PM - Forum: Hebrew Language Forum

In Scripture many verses (sentences) seem to start with the letter vov, rather more than would perhaps seem necessary, so that in the English translation one is reading "And ..." rather often. In fact when I read Scripture I now often ignore the "And" which for me then makes the passage run more smoothly and actually makes it clearer. Have you tried this?
I have noticed that the word "And" is not the only word used in translation for the letter Vov at commencement of a sentence; for example a substitution for "And" quite often used is "Now ...; others are "So", "But".
Stone Tanach, Exodus: "And" 1:1, "So" 1:11, "But" 1:12, "Then" 4:11, "So" 4:18 and 4:20.
In Leviticus 20:7-27 the Stone Tanach English translation ignores the Vav at commencement of each verse as it does in many places such as Numbers 17:12 to 27 and other too numerous to mention such as 1 Chronicles 12:24 to 37!
Is it possible the Vov at commencement of a verse / sentence is mostly not meant to be translated, but rather represents some form of punctuation, or some form of sentence break?

Hello All -
I need your opinion on something.
My son's Bar Mitzvah is April 2022.
My wife & I are disagreeing about the luncheon afterwards.
We are NOT having a dinner party at night.
My wife is saying a Kiddush Luncheon after the service is fine.
I found a place where it is outdoors. However, because of time, they only have what they are calling a "Picnic Option".
Choices of 4 sandwiches, Tea, salad, etc. She is fine with the "Picnic option".
However, I am thinking, if you have people coming in from all over the country, it should be a little more than sandwiches and the Kiddush Luncheon.
We are doing an "out of town" dinner"
Just not sure which is more appropriate.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Dave

What was the Balfour Declaration 1917?:
Quote:“The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government during World War I announcing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region [...]
The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland”.
Extract source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration
Text of the Balfour Declaration 1917:
Quote:Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet
His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours,
Arthur James Balfour

Note:
When referring to the Balfour Declaration on “Palestine”, it is advisable to always quote the year “1917, because there was a later unrelated Balfour Declaration of 1926!
What British and allied military successes were significant in leading to the timing of the Balfour Declaration 1917?
The Battle of Beersheba commenced the British “Southern Palestine Offensive” of the Sinai and Palestine campaign against the Ottoman empire in “Palestine”, of World War I; its success leading to subsequent British and allied victories at Hareira and Sheria. The period of military campaign in “Palestine” of 31 October 1917 to 7 November 1917 commencing with the battle of Beersheba, was won by the British Empire’s “Egyptian Expeditionary Force” (EEF), the “Anzac Mounted Division” (“Desert Mounted Corps”), and the British Army’s “XX Corps”:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_...eba_(1917)
How far had British and allied forces advanced against Ottoman forces within the land of Israel, at the time of the Balfour Declaration 1917?:
Quote:“[...] On November 2nd, 1917, two days after the conquest [by British and allied forces from Ottoman Turkish forces] of Beersheba, the [British] Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour wrote what he called a declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations. This was to become a most crucial document in the history of Palestine [the Land of Israel].
The key sentence was:
‘His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people’.
News of the Balfour Declaration found the British forces advancing northward. By November 15th, [1917] Jaffa had fallen, and the troops turned eastward toward the Judean mountains. [...]”

Balfour Declaration 1917 written into the Mandate document 1922:
The wording of the Balfour Declaration 1917 was written into the Mandate document for the Mandate subsequently in 1922 awarded by the League of Nations (later the United Nations) to Great Britain.
League of Nations Mandate document (English):
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/palmanda.asp
Why different provisions for the “Palestinian” Jews compared to the “Palestinian” Arabs?:
Why after promising a national home for the Jewish people, did the Mandate document follow with a provision different for the “existing non-Jewish communities” (the Arabs) compared with that for the Jews?:
Quote:Both the Balfour Declaration 1917 and the British Mandate document 1922, quote:
“[...] it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine [...]”
Extract source:
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/palmanda.asp
Reasons:
Firstly, League of Nations Mandates were for developing the Mandate territory for the benefit of its native people:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations_mandate
Secondly, the Jews were considered native to the land, while at the time it was well-known the Arabs in the land mostly originated from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers:

Mandates were Administered on behalf of the League of Nations (later the United Nations):

British breach of their Mandate:
The British never put into action the promise in their “Balfour Declaration of 1917”, nor as their legal obligation as repeated in the wording of the Mandate document:
to (re)establish a Jewish “home” [state] in the land.
Since therefore the Balfour Declaration 1917 was written into the Mandate document, Great Britain could not legally remain in compliance with their Mandate without allowing Jewish immigration (Jewish returnee exiles - the land of Israel being the ancestral-homeland of the Jewish people) into British Mandate Palestine.
The Arabs commenced rioting 1936 to 1939:
https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/...-1936-1939
The Arab rioting of 1936 lead to a change of policy by the British under their White Paper of May 1939, which was from allowing Jewish immigration, to instead:
Limiting Jewish immigration while allowing Arab immigration:
https://www.historycentral.com/Israel/19...Paper.html
Therefore from 1939 when the British changed policy to favour the Arabs, and ceased to be in compliance with their Mandate, the British became in “Palestine” an illegal colonial regime.

| Origins of the name “Palestine” and its usage in trying to negate the name Israel |
|
Posted by: Robert - 11-11-2021, 08:28 PM - Forum: Israel

“Palestine” is the Roman-imposed rename of Israel / Judah, used by the Romans for attempting to negate Israel as the name for the land, and today used likewise by the “Palestinian” Arabs and their primarily anti-Semitic supporters.
The name “Palestine” applied only to foreign rule of the land of Israel, first by the Romans who imposed that name to negate Israel / Judah as names for the land, and later for the Mandate awarded to Great Britain between 1922 and 1948. The Romans had resurrected the name “Palestine” (Philistine) from the region much smaller than Israel, in which (by Roman times the defunct) Philistines had been. Both of those usages of the name were rule by a foreign imperial power. There has never been any indigenous “Palestine” / Arab sovereign state in the land of Israel.
Neither is the name “Palestine” any valid geographical name; a correct geographical name for the region is “Levant”.
From where did “Palestine” as a name imposed on the land of Israel, come?
The Romans imposed the name “Palæstina” (“Palestine”) on Roman-occupied Judah / Israel, resurrecting the name from the defunct much smaller region of: Hebrew: פלשת , “Pleshet”, Latin: “Palæstina”, Greek: “Philistia” (https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine), within which had previously been the Philistine five city kingdoms.
[“Philistia” boundaries: From its south (approx. today’s Gaza) from Wadi El-Arish, to its North the Yarkon River (approx. today’s Jaffa), at its East the Kingdom of Judah, and to its West the Mediterranean Sea]:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...30_map.svg
The Philistines had been destroyed by the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar in 603/4 BCE / 1263 BH–1262 BH.

New Discoveries Among the Philistines: Archaeological and Textual Considerations

The “Palestinian” Arabs have no connection with the ancient Philistines.
It was following the disappearance of the Philistines, that the Roman occupiers of Israel/Judah resurrected the name “Palestine” (Filistine), to impose it on the much larger region of Jewish Israel/ Judah:
Quote:“In the aftermath of the war [the Simon bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire in 132 C.E. / 505 B.H. to 135 C.E. / 502 B.H., Roman Emperor] Hadrian consolidated the older political units of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria into the new province of Syria Palaestina (Palestine) [...] derived from the ancient sea-faring Philistine people who occupied the coastal plain around the first millennium B.C.E.”
Extract source:
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Bar_Kochba
Quote:'[...] The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between what are now Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza. The name was revived by the Romans in the 2nd century CE in “Syria Palaestina,” designating the southern portion of the province of Syria [which included Roman-occupied Israel ...]
it had no official status until after World War I and the end of rule by the Ottoman Empire, when it was adopted for one of the regions mandated to Great Britain. [...]'
Extract source:
https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine
The “Palestinian” Arabs falsely-allege Israeli Jews all came from Europe. Some Jews are returnee-exiles, since the Jewish people have Judah heritage (“Jew”=citizen of “Judah” - Judaism is both an ethnicity as well as a religion). Yet the Jewish people are indigenous to their ancestral-homeland of Israel, with unbroken presence there from Biblical times:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographi...e_(region)
The only valid name for the land belongs to the Jewish indigenous sovereign states before the Re-establishment of Israel in 1948, which are “Israel” or “Judah”.
Internationally-recognised history shows that the last indigenous sovereign state in the land of Israel (Roman occupier imposed-name “Palestine”), prior to the RE-establishment of Israel in 1948, was the post-Biblical Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom. It included the "West Bank", Gaza, and Golan Heights. Capital (what is now East) Jerusalem / “Old City”; between 110 BCE / 754 BH and 63 BCE / 706 BH - Map:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...ingdom.jpg
The Ottoman Turkish empire did not use any such political name as “Palestine”, but rather Ottoman-occupied Judah / Israel was within the Ottoman province of “Syria”:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Syria
The following image shows the list of Ottoman Turkish provinces called “vilayets”, which the reader can see includes “Syria” but does not include any “Palestine”:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...ves%29.png
By the end of 19th and early 20th centuries the “Syria” province of the Ottoman Turkish empire included the following administrative districts:
Quote:“[...] the southern sub-provinces of Ottoman Syria administrative region, includ[ed] by the end of 19th and early 20th century
the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem,
the Nablus Sanjak
and Acre Sanjak (under Beirut Vilayet from 1888 and previously under Syria Vilayet) [...]”.
[Note: I have added some carrier returns.]
Extract source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Syria
“Palestine” was not used as a political name by the Turkish Ottoman Empire for their occupation of Judah / Israel. Later usage of the name “Palestine” is likely due to the Romans having imposed the name “Palestina” (Palestine) on Roman-occupied Jewish Judah / Israel.
Although some 19th century maps for the land are entitled “Palestine” (the Roman-imposed rename), on many such maps the land itself is correctly labeled: “Judea” and “Samaria” (the two former Jewish Kingdoms).
Bible: The Jewish Scriptures (aka “Old” Testament) refers to a “Philistia” region which was much smaller than Israel (see “Philistia” boundaries above).
The Christian Scriptures (aka “New” Testament) does NOT refer to “Palestine”, but does have a reference to the Land of “ISRAEL” - See Matthew 2:21.
Revisionist history propaganda on some websites and in the Media, falsely-backdate (retroactively-apply) the name “Palestine” to prior Roman times when the land had been called Israel / Judah; even backdating to earlier Biblical times when the land was called “Canaan”.
The League of Nations in 1922 resurrected (as had the Romans) the name “Palestine”, this time for the British Mandate, but now imposing it on an even larger region (below):
There has never been an indigenous “Palestine” / Arab sovereign state in the land of Israel upon which the “Palestinian” Arabs could base any claim to any part of Israel.
Following the Ottoman Turkish defeat in the First World War, the League of Nations in 1922 resurrecting the name “Palestine” from Roman occupation, authorized a British Mandate; an administrative region ruled by a foreign imperial power, it was an area that later would be today’s: Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories - Please compare the second and third maps down:
http://www.shamrak.com/Masada2000-Histor...estine.htm
JEWISH citizens of the British Mandate were Palestinian: Irrespective of race or religion citizens of the British Mandate became: “Palestinian”.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/p6hjhurn7...s.pdf/file
The Media of the time referred to Mandate inhabitants, as:
“Palestinian Arabs”, / “Palestinian Jews”, or as: “Arabs” / “Jews”.
The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” so you should not understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate, to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles - See “Arab Immigration to Historic Palestine: A Survey”, by Richard Mather:
https://richardmatherblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/
The “Palestinian” Arabs having considered themselves to be Arab only, this is why they were opposed to being called a “People” until the 1960’s, when they decided it fitted with their intention to steal the land of Israel from its indigenous Jews:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographi...e_(region)
The British Mandate an “administrative region”:
Quote:“The Mandatories, as opposed to colonial authorities, administered the territories in accordance with the terms of the mandate and on behalf of the League of Nations. [...]”.

Israel was Re-established in 1948 following a United Nations Partition Plan under resolution 181; a two-state solution. The Jews accepted it, but it requires more than one party to constitute an agreement. The “Palestinian” Arab response was to reject it, and commence a civil war 1947 to instead take ALL the land of Israel, and ethnically-cleanse or murder the Jewish population.
In 1948 the Arab countries invaded with the same objectives as the “Palestinian” Arabs, but lost the war. Jordan illegally-occupied both the “West Bank”, and also East Jerusalem from which the Jordanians expelled the Jews. Egypt illegally-occupied the Gaza strip. (By the way, neither of them offered these areas to the “Palestinian” Arabs.)
Once the “Palestinian” Arabs had tricked Israel into giving them autonomy of part of the “West Bank” and the whole of Gaza under the Oslo Accords, they since:
> Do not sincerely negotiate any peace treaty.
> Make an unverifiable false-claim to ALL the land of Israel.
> Attack Israeli Jewish civilians as policy including children.
> Committed the October 7th, 2023 massacre of Israelis.
No wonder anti-Semites display such emotional-support for the “Palestinian” Arabs (!), and for that psuedo-name “Palestine”.

| Measuring European Union anti-Semitism by its anti-Israel Bias |

What happened to anti-Semitism following the end of the Nazi genocide of Jews?: It became institutionalized within both (below) the “European Union” and the “United Nations” (U.N. built-in pro-Arab 56 country block-vote).
The European Union is primarily a trading-block and there is more apparently to be allegedly-gained in supporting the “Palestinian” Arabs, rather than in annoying oil-producing Arab countries with their consequential trading power.
The U.N. and the E.U. both deny the Jewish people’s roots in the Jews ancestral-homeland of Israel, and support the false, unverifiable-claims of the “Palestinian” Arabs.
The “European Union” funds the “Palestinian” Arabs knowing the “Palestinian” Arabs conduct an on-going war of territorial ambitions, and ethnic-hatred against Israeli Jewish civilians including children.
The E.U. has no valid auditing how its aid to the “Palestinian” Arabs is spent (see below).
Some Aid paid to the “Palestinian Authority” aka Fatah, is paid by the P.A. to “Hamas” which runs Gaza, from which numerous Palestinian rockets are fired at Israeli cities whenever the fancy takes them.
Why does the E.U. pay their aid to the “Palestinian” Arabs, fully-aware this:
i) Constitutes either direct or indirect funding for “Palestinian” Arab terrorism (see below).
ii) That funding terrorim represents an obstacle to peace?
It is because the E.U. is institutionally anti-Semitic. A French / German top-heavy influenced-organization, where France is institutionally anti-Semitic, as can be seen by the anti-Israel / pro-“Palestinian” Arab propaganda produced by its State-owned “France 24” TV, for example early November 2021, on the news that Israel approves 1,300 homes for the “West Bank”, Stuart Norval presenter on France 24 English, promises that they will now bring the viewer two views - one an Israeli and the other a Palestinian:
The Israeli who was interviewed, was from an anti-“settlement” organisation!
The “Palestinian” Arabs have no incentive to renounce hate and conflict, and to sincerely negotiate peace, because while the European Union pays “lip-service” to supporting a two-state solution and to respecting Israeli security, the E.U., it also provides the “Palestinian” Arabs with both political support and prodigious ready-cash. The E.U. is well aware their cash will be used to free-up funds for the “Palestinian” Arab war-machine. As the E.U. knows, the “Palestinian” Arabs in reality do NOT support a two-state solution, but instead seek ALL the land of Israel, as shown by what is taught by the Palestinian education system and “Palestinian National Charter”. Those funding the “Palestinian” Arabs knowingly and intentionally-fund the “Palestinian” Arab war of ethnic-hatred against Israel.
The “Palestinian” Arabs are also often falsely-referred to as the “hapless Palestinians”, whereas in reality they are bankrolled by the “European Union” and the United States. “E.U.” funding to the “Palestinian” Arabs, is French and German government money, who launder it through the “European (Union) Commission” as: “humanitarian aid”.
The “European Union” bankrolls the “Palestinian” Arabs:
Quote:“How are we helping? In 2021, the European Union provided €34 million [EXR. Nov 11, 2021, USD $38,924,900] in humanitarian funding for Palestinians in need, including funds to address emerging needs due to the coronavirus pandemic and the recent violence in Gaza. [...]”
Quote:“How are we helping? In 2020, the European Union is providing €23.7 million [EXR. Jan 31, 2021, USD $28,765,875] in humanitarian funding for Palestinians ... including funds to address [the ...] coronavirus.”
[The E.U. paid the “Palestinian” Arabs €22.5 million in 2019 when there was no coronavirus!]
Extracts source:
(Recycled webpage where the amounts stated on it change according to the applicable year):
https://ec.europa.eu/echo/where/middle-e...lestine_en
Aid awarded to the “Palestinian” Arabs lacks logical-substantiation as to its alleged “humanitarian” need, particularly when compared with other groups considered to have genuine-humanitarian need.
Areas/people in need of humanitarian assistance 2021:
https://hum-insight.info/
Since the E.U. is dominated by France and Germany, their governments, specifically their leaders - the President of the French Republic, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, therefore bear direct-responsibility for the continuance of E.U. funding of the “Palestinian” Arabs, knowingly and intentionally freeing-up “Fatah” (aka the “P.A.”) and “Hamas” funds for the murder of Israeli Jews including children.

Ex-French spy chief admits 1980s pact with Palestinian terrorists:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/a...terrorists
Many who demonstrate in European countries against anti-Semitic damage to Jewish tomb stones, have no problem with their governments continuing to fund the “Palestinian” Arabs, thereby also funding the “Palestinian” Arab ongoing war of ethnic-murder against Israeli Jewish civilians including children.
It is neither accurate nor moral to separate the party paying for terrorism to be carried out as does the “Palestinian Authority” aka “Fatah”, from any entity who fund them, such as the European Union that funds the “Palestinian Authority” / “Fatah”;
Entities that fund terrorism, support terrorism.
The “Palestinian” Arabs are addicted to ethnic-hatred against Jews, so if Palestinians injure or kill an Israeli Jew including children, and the Palestinian terrorist is imprisoned as a result, the “Palestinian Authority” aka Fatah (the P.A. is funded by the “European Union”) and the “Palestinian Liberation Organisation” pay a reward-“pension” to the family of the attacker:
Remember, to qualify to be murdered by a “Palestinian” Arab you must be Jewish and there is no lower age restriction. A reward-pension is then paid to the family of the terrorist out of “The Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund” (see below and Sources area); (the P.A. in turn funded by the “European Union”):
Quote:‘The Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund are two funds operated by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The Foundation for the Care of the Families of Martyrs pays monthly cash stipends to the families of Palestinians killed, injured, or imprisoned while carrying out violence against Israel.[1] The Prisoners Fund makes disbursements to Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails. In 2016, the PA paid out about NIS 1.1 billion (US$303 million) in stipends and other benefits.[2]
Critics often call the fund "pay for slay" and blame the payments for encouraging terrorism. [...]’
(Please see webpage for citations.)
Extract source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinia...rtyrs_Fund
The “Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund” and “Hamas”, both brought to you by “European Union” funding (see source above) of the “Palestinian Authority” aka Fatah.
No proper E.U. auditing as to how E.U. “aid” to the Palestinians is spent, and both the E.U. and the Palestinians are well-aware of this:
Quote:"The new 2013 report of the Court [European Court of Auditors] reveals that $2.7 billion in direct aid [foreign aid given by the European Union] to the Palestinians between 2008 and 2012 could not be accounted for and appeared to be lost. In addition, EU investigators who visited Jerusalem and areas on the West Bank were unable to obtain information or speak to Palestinian officials about corruption in the areas they controlled.”

Once the “Palestinian” Arabs had tricked Israel into giving them autonomy of part of the West Bank and the whole of Gaza under the Oslo Accords, the Palestinians since:
> Do not sincerely negotiate any peace treaty.

No wonder anti-Semites display such emotional-support for the “Palestinian” Arabs !
Supporting anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism:
The Palestinians cynically whitewash their anti-Jewish hate-war as:
“uprising”, “defence”, “desperation”, “struggle”, “resistance”.
Here are examples from the “Palestinian” Arab on-going anti-Jewish hate-war, where their propaganda typically refers to any consequential security measures as “Israeli-oppression”:

Would anyone be able to tell me where in the Talmud remaining silent over speaking out is not the best option?
The question arises from my listening to a psychologist being interviewed about the psychology of mass movements. There was some discussion about the Solomon Asch Experiment when the psychologist mentioned the Talmud stating that a piece of our soul is lost when we forfeit the opportunity to speak our truth but choose to refrain.
It seems there is more written about silencing the tongue and Lashon Hara then on speaking up when there is a need. The question then could be how do you know?
Thanks for any help.
