- Why can't Israel play the violin?
- Don't cry for me, New York
- birkat kohanim
JPost had almost no coverage of birkat hakohanim; whereas the Easter festivities got front page press. I understand -- after all, the two events are not comparable in religious importance. On the one hand you have the idolaters celebrating their false god's death and resurrection, and on the other hand you have the descendants of Aaron the High Priest continuing to perform a Biblical command to bless His people Israel. Obviously, we should give priority in our press to the idolatrous practices of the surrounding nations.
Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
