Please take a look at this Video, and see what you make of it; if anything, as, on this occasion, I do not want to say any more, in case it detracts from your experience of what you see and what you make of it.

Yes, sadly, but inevitably, Lionel Blue, or, to give him his full title, Rabbi Lionel Blue has recently died. He was a man of great wit and humility, atleast, based on what I have heard of him when he presented his 'Thoughts for Today', on the BBC's Radio 4 early morning programmes. Rabbi Blue, it seemed to me, was a human first, and then Jewish secondly, and then a Rabbi. It is important for a person to first a human being, before he/she takes on any of the other identities we all have. Such as our gender identity, our religious - or non-religious - identity, our ethnic and colour identity, our social identity, and our personality identity.  Not being Jewish, I would not have been able to identify with Rabbi Blue's Jewishness, as it were, but, when he speaks as an ordinary human being, I was able to understand and identify with him, because of our shared humanity. Yes, it is also the case that there are aspects of his Jewishness which are com

This video is the musical version of the Birdarial video I posted last week. Please take a look and see if the canned music significantly adds to your experience of watching it. If so, then do enjoy this probably unique display of suburban 'Sea Gulls', considering there is no sea around for probably 90 or 10 miles.

Well, fortunately, these are not the religions which the people of the African Diaspora pay most of their allegiance to. For these people, the Pentecostalic branch of Christianity has become a more welcoming and spiritual home. Whether they are in the West Indies, the Americas, or the United States, the people of the African diaspora has made the Pentecostalic religion into their own image.  They have sought to 'humanise' both their understanding of the Christian religion and the Christian god. They converse with their god and argue with him and endeavour to bring him down to their level; probably knowing well that they cannot aspire to be faithful, always, to the too high expectations of a god.  And so it should be that a people should be able to talk to and argue with their god, if they are to achieve wisdom, even the wisdom that might one day lead them to the realisation that they have not been communicate with god, but with themselves. Like other peoples, the

Trump and Netanyahu being slimmy? So, when Danny Danon, as he has been quoted in The Guardian as having told the Security Council, that "“By voting yes in favour of this resolution, you have in fact voted no. You voted no to negotiation, you voted no to progress and a chance for better lives for Israelis and Palestinians, and you voted no to the possibility of peace.” We can only respond, what 'negotiation', Mr Danon, there has been none for so long? What 'progress and chance for better lives for .... and Palestinians', Mr Danon, when have not seen any evidence of this for a very long time? And, as for the 'possibility of peace', Mr Danon, we are aware that anything or most things are indeed possible, but that does not make them probably, and we are tired waiting for the state of Israel to make it probably for their to be peace between Israelis and Palestinians. In displaying his anger, Mr Netanyahu has unceremoniously summoned the ambassadors of

Facts on the ground can be changed, but only is the conflicting parties, especially the dominant one's are willing to acted the outcome of arbitration So, the current government of the state of Israel does not like to be scolded, but then, who does, even when, as in this case, the Mr Netanyahu's government is really deserving of a good whipping? Consequently, Mr Netanyahu and his government has reacted with shock and indignation at the decision of the United Nation's Security Council to censure it for its continuing violation of the rights of the Palestinians. By passing a resolution demanding that the government of Israel stop building Jewish settlements on occupied territories in Palestine. This is after Israel has restated its intention to continue to build settlements on Palestinian lands. What has irked Mr Netanyahu and his government most, is that their, until now, unequivocal ally and protector, the United States, has decided to abstain during the voting on th
