So zemlji, svjetlost svijetu - без обзира на расну, вјерску, националну припадност

[Рапсоди]

Ко је данас со земљи, свјетлост свету, од наших савременика, мислим да то са правом могу рећи а да ме неће нико исправити.

Све мајке са много деце, подвижнице мученице. Да не запоставим ни очеве наравно и они.

Конкретно жена коју сам слушала на радију СЛОВО ЉУБВЕ,  нажалост не жнам како се жове , жена која живи на карабурми која има више деце која је корисник народне кухиње доле у Француској и гле чуда  и величине жена која и сама у слободно време /опет чудо/ помаже рад ,волонтира у тој истој кухињи.

Ко ме може убедити да она није со земљи свјетлост свету.

Ми смо их раније само донекле познавали. Али смо, исто тако, знали шта смо чинили у њиховој отаџбини. Убијали смо стотине Срба који су бранили земљу; за једног убијеног нашег војника, који је иначе представљао власт окупатора – насилника. Па, не само да смо то чинили, него смо благонаклоно гледали како су на Србе тамо пуцали са свију страна.

Знали смо да се овде, међу нам, налази пет хиљада официра Срба који су некада представљали друштвену снагу у својој земљи, а сада су личили на живе костуре, изнемогли и малаксали од глади. Знали смо да код Срба тиња веровање: Ко се не освети, тај се не посвети. И ми смо се, заиста, плашили освете тих српских мученика. Бојали смо се да ће они, по нашој капитулацији, радити оно што смо ми са њима чинили. Замишљали смо јасно ту трагедију и већ видели нашу децу како пливају канализацијом или се пеку у градској пекари. Замишљали смо убијање наших људи, силовање, рушење и разарање наших домова!

Међутим, како је било?

Кад су пукле заробљеничке жице и кад се пет хиљада живих костура српских нашло у нашој средини, ти костури су миловали нашу децу и давали им бомбоне! Разговарали су са нама. Срби су, дакле, миловали децу оних који су њихову отаџбину у црно завили!

Тек сада разумемо зашто је наш велики песник Гете учио српски језик; тек сада схватамо зашто је Бизмарку последња реч на самртној постељи била “Србија”!

Та победа Срба је већа и узвишенија од сваке материјалне победе! Такву победу, чини ми се, могли су извојевати и добити само Срби, однеговани у њиховом светосавском духу и јуначким епским песмама које је наш Гете тако волео…

Ова победа ће вековима живети у душама Немаца, а тој победи, и Србима који су је извојевали, желео сам да посветим ову моју последњу свештеничку проповед.

Steve Maman is a Canadian Jewish businessman who has made it his mission to rescue Christian and Yazidi girls from ISIS.

In August 2014, jihadists in Iraq captured thousands of women and girls, and forced them into sex slavery. They are raped by dozens of men every day.

Steve heard about this unspeakable tragedy, and instead of simply expressing outrage like most of us, he took action.

Steve formed a nonprofit foundation called the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI).

"What motivated me is being Jewish, being part of a people that survived the Holocaust. We waited for six years for people to come and help us,” Steve said.

So far Steve has raised over $500,000, mostly from Moroccan Jews like himself.

He put together a team of negotiators inside ISIS-held areas, who redeem the captives for $2000 to $4000 each.

As Rambam (the great Torah scholar Moses Maimonides) teaches, there is no greater mitzvah than redeeming captives, for the problems of the captive include hunger, thirst, lack of clothes, and danger of death. Ignoring the need to redeem captives violates these Torah laws: "Do not harden your heart or shut your hand against your needy fellow" (Deut 15:7), and "Do not stand idly by while your neighbor’s blood is shed" (Lev. 19:16). (Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Matanot Aniyim 8:10)

Says Steve, "There are millions of inhabitants in Mosul and they're not all ISIS, so we, within those millions of people, have found teams that were willing to work with us in order to get those girls out."

Some have accused Steve of encouraging ISIS by making it profitable for them to kidnap girls.

Steve’s response: “ISIS is worth today $4 billion. Do you think that my little two or three thousand dollars per child is going to help the power and might of ISIS? You’d have to stand up and tell the 1,200 survivors saved by Oskar Schindler and their 15,000 descendants, that they were liberated unlawfully because Oskar Schindler gave money to the Nazis."

Thus far, Steve has rescued 128 girls from ISIS.

In a recent interview, Steve said, "May God bless my mission with world leaders being aware of what I do and of what can be done. The ones I wish to help are praying to God after every rape that he ends their pain and humiliation. It is reported they wish they be killed rather than live with such a fate. God give them the strength to hold on to life for a bit longer until I get to them, God willing.”

Amen!

Mitzvah Day unites Jewish and Muslim leaders in kitchen

Chief rabbi and imam help prepare meal for winter shelter in London on nationwide day of social action

 

A rabbi and an imam walk into a kitchen and each picks up a knife. It sounds the like the start of a bad standup routine. In fact, it was leaders of British Jews and Muslims joining forces to help prepare a meal for the homeless and hungry as part of a nationwide day of social action on Sunday.

Up to 40,000 people took part in Mitzvah Day, organised by the Jewish community in hundreds of synagogues and schools around the country, and involving volunteers from neighbouring mosques and churches. Mitzvah literally means commandment, but is generally interpreted as good deed.

The chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, and imam Ibrahim Mogra, assistant general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, peeled and chopped vegetables in the chaotic kitchen of Edgware United synagogue in north-west London. Amid vats of potatoes, piles of apple skin and eggshells, dozens of volunteers – including the Labour MP Luciana Berger – worked to create a three-course meal for the nearby Barnet Winter Shelter.

The menu met kosher and halal requirements: vegetable soup, vegetarian cottage pie, apple crumble plus an assortment of cookies.

Mirvis, who acquired a dusting of flour on his customary black jacket, said he had “an enormous amount of pride in the generosity, selflessness and community engagement” of Mitzvah Day. The interfaith aspect of the day was crucial in “this challenged world”, he added. “We must strengthen links and build bridges for tolerance and harmony.”

Mogra, who showed impressive dedication to a pile of carrots, said both faiths taught the importance of common humanity. “Britain has become a multicultural and multifaith society. It’s very important to be cohesive, not just by talking but in action,” he said.

The imam said he was usually in his own kitchen on a Sunday morning, knocking up a full English breakfast for his family, but he was delighted to be at the synagogue instead with “my Jewish brothers and sisters”.

Mitzvah Day has been been running in the UK for 10 years, and now involves around 350 Jewish communities. “Pretty much every mainstream synagogue, youth movement and school takes part,” said the founder, Laura Marks. “In terms of the Jewish community, it’s huge,” drawing in those who may not attend synagogue regularly “but still want to engage with their Jewish heritage,” she added.

Other events on Sunday included a Jewish primary school joining with a local Muslim school to collect for a south London food bank; and Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue hosting a past-and-present refugee day, with Jewish refugees from the Holocaust and Syrians fleeing the current civil war.

In Edgware, 19-year-old Saha Habib had come to the synagogue from Stanmore mosque. Working on a batch of lemon biscuits, she said she was happy to be joining a community effort to help people. “There’s a lot in the Qur’an about taking care of the less fortunate,” she said.

Marks said bringing together different faiths – and those of no faith – in social action projects made it easier to have meaningful conversations about the state of the world. “It’s very hard for people to get to know one another in different communities. It rarely happens on its own – we have to make it happen.”
