When The Lambs Control The Lions

THEY WANT A SECOND HOLOCAUST . . . WE DON'T!
HILLBILLY VANCE VERSUS TAMPON TIM . . . IT WASN’T EVEN CLOSE:

Because Of JD Vance . . . President Donald Trump & Candidates Representing the Republican Party were Huge Winners. The Two Jerks who Moderated the Debate were Disgraceful. And Comrade Kamala can be Real “Proud” of the Dufus she Chose as her Running Mate.

AS A LIFELONG ENTREPRENEUR & EMPLOYER – I WRITE FROM  EXPERIENCE:

Poor People Do Not Create Jobs, Do Not Create Wealth & Do Not Build National Prosperity.

The LEFT, Supported by Unions will Have the People Believing that the Economy is Created by the Bottom-Up and from the Inside-Out. Sounds Good – Too Bad It’s Bullshit.

The Left Tells Us That Millionaires & Billionaires Are Motivated By Greed. Tell That to the Multitude of Hollywooders & Performers like Taylor Swift & Oprah Winfrey. And One Cannot Forget The Uber Rich Democrat Politicians.

If It Is Indeed True, And I Have No Reason To Suspect That It Isn’t True, the Average Dockworker in America Earns About $100,000 Per Year, with Crane Operators Earning as Much as, and More than $300,000 Per Year . . . are Now on Strike for Substantially More Money & No Automation . . .

A WHOLE NEW DEFINITION OF GREED:

As Far As I’m Concerned . . . They Can Take Their Grievance & Pound Sand.

Most Americans with Families Don’t Come Close to Earning what the Dockworkers Have Determined is their Due, Let Alone How Much More They Want.

Let Me Make This Clear . . . I Want As Much Automation as Possible – Because I’m Sick & Tired of Being Held Hostage by People who are Paid by Entrepreneurs.

Thank God, Anne & I Are Still Somewhat In A Not So Bad Position, Good Enough, that We Can Still Put Good Food on the Table, Take Care of our Monthly Commitments & Spend the Winter in a Warm Climate, Albeit By RV . . . But What About Elderly People Who Are Not So Blessed?

And What’s Going to Happen to Anne & Myself as Costs Keep Rising, To The Point Where We Have To Sacrifice More Than We Already Are?

The Dockworkers’ Union Knows That This Strike Is Going To Cause Financial & Product Mayhem Throughout America, and Not Just in America, Since as a Canadian, we Too Survive on Much of What is Shipped to American Ports and then Transshipped to Canadian Destinations.

THEY WANT A SECOND HOLOCAUST . . . WE DON’T!

Do You Know What Jew-Haters Hate More Than Passive Jews? Jews Who Aren’t Passive.

Israel Is Being Bloodied, Jews Worldwide, Including Jews like Anne & Myself in Canada, and Jews in the USA are Living Somewhat on Edge, but in the Final Analysis – The Jew-Haters Couldn’t Wipe-Us Out Over More Than 5,000-Years . . . And They Won’t Be Able To Do It Now.

IN 1899 – MARK TWAIN WROTE . . .

“If The Statistics Are Right, The Jews Constitute But One Quarter Of One Percent Of The Human Race.  It Suggests A Nebulous Puff Of Star Dust Lost In The Blaze Of The Milky Way.  Properly, The Jew Ought Hardly To Be Heard Of, But He Is Heard Of, Has Always Been Heard Of.  He Is As Prominent On The Planet As Any Other People, And His Importance Is Extravagantly Out Of Proportion To The Smallness Of His Bulk.

His Contributions To The World’s List Of Great Names In Literature, Science, Art, Music, Finance, Medicine And Abstruse Learning Are Also Very Out Of Proportion To The Weakness Of His Numbers.  He Has Made A Marvelous Fight In This World In All Ages; And Has Done It With His Hands Tied Behind Him. He Could Be Vain Of Himself And Be Excused For It.  The Egyptians, The Babylonians And The Persians Rose, Filled The Planet With Sound And Splendor, Then Faded To Dream-Stuff And Passed Away; The Greeks And Romans Followed And Made A Vast Noise, And They Were Gone; Other People Have Sprung Up And Held Their Torch High For A Time But It Burned Out, And They Sit In Twilight Now, And Have Vanished.

The Jew Saw Them All, Survived Them All, And Is Now What He Always Was, Exhibiting No Decadence, No Infirmaties, Of Age, No Weakening Of His Parts, No Slowing Of His Energies, No Dulling Of His Alert But Aggressive Mind.  All Things Are Mortal But The Jews; All Other Forces Pass, But He Remains . . .

. . . What Is The Secret Of His Immortality?”

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE ROSH HASHANA (JEWISH NEW YEAR) GREETINGS:

Tonight – October 2, 2024, At Sundown, Jews Worldwide Will Celebrate Our 5,785th New Year.

Anne & I are Blown Away by the Number of New Year Wishes we Have Received by so Many of our Christian & Jewish Friends & Readers. So Many-So, that I Really Don’t Have the Time to Individually Thank all the People who Wished-Us with their Best . . . So Please Accept This Editorial As A Show Of Our Gratitude For Your Caring.

LET ME MAKE THIS AS CLEAR AS I CAN:

Israel Is Fighting The War NATO Should Have Been Fighting Years Ago.

I Am 74-Years Old, Just Two Years Younger than the Reconstituted State of Israel (1948), and as Far Back as I Can Remember . . . Israel Has Been Embedded Within My Psyche as Though it is Part of My DNA, Which It Might Be.

I Have Always Been Part Of The Christian World . . . But at No Time, Did I Ever Lose my Connection with Judaism, Because . . . as Poor as my Parents were Before they Weren’t, there was Always a Jewish Institution to Help with the Social & Educational Needs of all Jewish Children . . . Whether The Families Could Afford-It Or Not.

At My Very Earliest Recollection . . . I Remember Going to a Christian Elementary School where I Recited the Lord’s Prayer Every Morning, Sang Hymns – And at the Appropriate Season Sang Christmas Carols.

I Went Caroling & Exchanged Christmas Gifts With My Christian Friends.

But At The End Of Every Christian School Day . . . I Went Home, Left my Secular School Books & Went-On to Jewish School, where I Learned the History & Values of Judaism, Until I Reached the Age Where I Attended a Rabbinical College (Yeshiva) and was Fully Immersed in the Art of Prayer.

LET’S FAST FORWARD MANY YEARS . . . I am Quite Traditional, Somewhat Spiritual, Not all that Religious – And Very Jewish from the Tip of my Toes to the End of My Nose.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE JEWISH OR RELIGIOUS TO BE A ZIONIST:

I Am A Zionist Through & Through . . . Which Means that I am One Who Believes Entirely In The Right of the Jewish People to Claim Israel as Our Ancestorial Jewish Homeland – All Of Israel, from the Border of Lebanon to the Border of Syria, all the Way Along the Jordan River to the Border of Egypt . . . To The Mediterranean.

So, When  The Palestinians & Assorted Jew Haters Chant “From The River To The Sea . . .” They are Absolutely Correct for the Wrong History, the Wrong People and the Wrong Reasons.

There Was Never A Country Named Palestine, And There Was Never A People Called Palestinians . . . Until they were Invented by the Father of Modern-Day Terrorism – Yasser Arafat.

LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUDAISM:

Unlike Islamists – We Don’t Celebrate Death, Martyrdom, Killing & Devastation.

Our Values Are Found In The Torah (Five Books Of Moses), That Dates Back Thousands Of Years. And our Laws in the Torah are Defined in the Teachings of the Talmud, which Explains all the Laws of Judaism Derived through Never-Ending Verbal & Literary Debate of the Torah.

Do You Know Why Jewish People Make Great Lawyers & Politicians?

We are Taught at the Earliest Age to See all Issues from all Sides that are Worthy of Debate. Walk into a Yeshiva (Rabbinical School), and you will Walk Into a Cacophony of Debate Covering Every Subject you can Imagine.

I am Going to Tell You Very Little of the Torah or the Talmud, Except for a Few Facts that will Help You . . . Define Who We Are As Jews.

Mandated Teaching (Education) Is Part Of The Foundation Of The Torah, Going Back Thousands of Years – It is Written that All Jewish Children Must Learn How to Read, Write & Understand the Laws of Judaism.

Jews Must Practice The Commandment Of Mitzvah, which is the Unsolicited Commitment of Anonymous Giving – (Charity) To All Who Are In Need, which is Why Some of the Greatest Global Philanthropists Have Been and are Jewish.

Even Though My Parents Were Poor . . . There was Always a Pishka Jar (Charity Container) in our Kitchen, where we Would Deposit all Loose Change (Coins) in our Pockets or Purse at the End of the Day, in Order to Help Someone Who was in Greater Need than Ourselves. Because We Believed – That No One Was Ever Too Poor To Give.

We Are Commanded Not To Celebrate The Defeat Or Derision Of Others. And that Includes the Defeat of our Enemies. Even Though there Might be Some Jews who Whooped & Celebrated at the Death of Nasrallah . . . They Were Jewish Outliers. Because That Is Not Who We Are – And Not What We Do.

If You Were Ever To Visit Israel Or Synagogues Wherever . . . You Will Not See Statues of Generals, Kings or Prime Ministers Celebrating Jewish Military Victories . . . You Won’t Even See Curses Against Those Who Damaged Jews So Severely Over the Millennia – Not Even Against Hitler & Hitler’s Cohorts.

By Tonight At Sundown . . . Jews will Begin the Celebration of our New Year (5,785-Years) in Synagogues Worldwide, where we will Acknowledge the Gifts of the Torah and the Blessings of God.

Ten Days Later (October 12) . . . We Will Stand Before the Open Arks which House Torahs in Synagogues throughout the Globe. And Before the Open Arks, We will Pray to God for us to Forgive Ourselves for Any and all Transgressions we Have Caused & Might Have Caused to Others During the Past Year.

We Don’t Pray To God For AbsolutionForgiveness Is On Us. We Pray to God for the Wisdom to Understand and to Admit to Ourselves the Errors of our Ways, that Have Been Harmful to Others, so in the Coming Year, we Will Not Repeat our Flaws, but Work at Becoming Better Human Beings Towards all Living Creatures.

For The Day Of Yom Kippur, Many Jews Worldwide will Fast, and in Repentance, Many of us Will Spend the Day at the Synagogue & Refuse all Usual Comforts. At Day’s End, the Shofar (Ram’s Horn) will Sound in all Synagogues with a Staccato Message . . . Signaling The End Of The Day Of Atonement, After-Which, We will Go Home or to the Home of Others . . . To Break The Fast, Celebrate Our New Beginning . . . And Look Forward To The New Year.

In Spite Of What The World Thinks They Know About Jews – In A Nutshell – This Is Who We Are.

SHANA TOVA (HAPPY NEW YEAR) . . . AM YISROEL CHAI! (ISRAEL LIVES):

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

  1. L’Shana Tova umetuka to you and your loved ones. May New Year 5785 bring Peace and Prosperity to the World. We, the Jews, will lead the World to many Simchas!

  2. Blessings to you and Anne at this time of your Jewish year. Thank you for today’s writing that gave us a glimpse at your ‘soft side’ as you related what this time of year means to you.

  3. I saw last night why Trump chose Vance. Lawdy. Mark Levin is angry. Israel small & surrounded by those who want it erased. Israel battling alone. He says, “What the hell ails this Administration?”. We can’t put boots on the ground, surely he knows that; that would escalate & expand. But our ships did help down & deflect. Is Biden still withholding? News reporting WH is siding with the dockworkers. Shd ANY WH take sides? Rather, resolve. We the People need it resolved. Remember us,

  4. SHANA TOVA. Great analysis of Judaism. To be read at our seder tonight

  5. Visiting my fathers’ grave in Montreal today (last surviving pilot from 1948/Lion of Judea awarded by Israel) prior to synagogue to inform him about our successes in the middle east over the past few weeks. My wife is on phone with her Israeli cousins who are all out of the bomb shelters and in good spirits. My father would have enjoyed your column. FYI Mosab Hassan Yousef giving speech in Montreal in November. Let’s go &support the Douglas Murray equivalent of the Arab world. Shana Tova y’al

  6. Howard and Anne: May the Almighty Grant You a Year of Peace, Health, Joy and Prosperity.

  7. Wishing you and family L’shana tova tikatevu. I used this Twain piece in my high school English classes; had students explain what Twain was trying to say about the Jewish people. We had a lively and great lesson and an even better discussion about the contributions of Jewish people throughout history. The very way Israel fights against terrorists shows its deep humanity. They strike only after being struck 1st; they warn citizens before they strike; their targeted hits save lives. GBI!

  8. Thank you for the great educational editorial today. Best to you, Anne and your menagerie. SHANA TOVA . . . AM YISROEL CHAI!

  9. Howard, Anne, and the Falconator: SHANA TOVA – 5,785th New Year. God Bless you for what you do to inform and educate us. Thank you.

  10. Blessings to You & Anne, Howard. Shana Tova. BTW….I just turned off our TV. CNN reports that Joe Biden does NOT want Israel to destroy Iran’s Nuclear Sites !!! Say Whaaaaaat??? Yup, Julie heard it too. U.S. President Biden does NOT want Israel to destroy Iran’s Nuclear Sites. This world is getting crazier by the minute. / Happy New Year (Rosh Hoshana) Howard & Anne. / AM YISRAEL CHAI

  11. Thank you for the great article. Chag Sameach! and L’Shana Tovah!

  12. Howard; If only your words of wisdom (yes, wisdom) could, or would reach a larger portion of our Jewish community, and our non-Jewish neighbors, perhaps what we have been thinking and saying will resonate in some an understanding of who and what we are. This is my hope for L’Shana Tovah! Wishing you, Anne and Falcon the happiest and healthiest of 5785,and let there be peace, after successful resolution of the (actual) war, threatening our people, and my relatives . Am Yisroel Chai!

  13. Since 1948 the State Department has never made a correct decision. Israel has done the opposite and it has been shown to be the correct one. Now, Lebanon has a window of opportunity to take back their country from Hezb’ Allah, a modern day Haman has been neutralized, and Iran’s nuclear threat can be eliminated. There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel!

  14. Happy New Year to you and yours. Let’s hope peace will find its way.
