Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, the head of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), issued a warning that the militant group Hezbollah is trying to attack Israeli targets overseas. He singled out attempted attacks in Thailand and Azerbaijan. Last week, three men were detained after planning to attack two Israelis employed by a Jewish school in Baku, the Azerbaijani capital.

And two weeks ago a Lebanese-Swedish man was arrested in Thailand on suspicion of being involved in a Hezbollah plot to carry out attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in Bangkok. Hezbollah is believed to have significantly upgraded its overseas infrastructure and spreading to Africa, Europe, and South America. The group is regarded as a proxy of Iran.

The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation chose young singer Can
Bonomo as the country’s representative in the 2012 Eurovision Song
Contest, which will be held in May in Baku, Azerbaijan. What many
people do not know is that Bonomo comes from a Jewish family — making
this selection somewhat surprising in light of the tense relations
between Turkey and Israel. This year Turkey decided not to hold a
pre-Eurovision competition and have a professional committee select
the Turkish entry instead. The names of quite a few critically
acclaimed local singers were mentioned, but the winner was a young and
promising singer who is just at the start of his career.

Hi! Rabbi Yitzi Miller here with a story about conversion to Judaism. Many people have heard the statement that someone who wishes to convert to Judaism should be turned away three times. But you know the greatest Jewish book of all time, the Talmud, recounts a story of two of the greatest Rabbis of all time, Rabbi Hillel and Rabbi Shammai who lived a little before the time of Jesus.

The Talmud recounts that three people came to Rabbi Shammai interested in converting to Judaism and Rabbi Shammai turned them away impudently and judgementally. They then went to Rabbi Hillel one by one and Rabbi Hillel received them gently and patiently. At the end of the story the three come back together and they offer blessings to Rabbi Hillel who they say; “Welcomed us under the wings of God.” Sadly they also cursed Rabbi Shammai who they say; “tried to drive us out of this world.”

I, and many Rabbis, would be honored to help you in your exploration of Judaism, whether for conversion or any purpose. And if you find yourself encountering a Rabbi who acts a little too much like Rabbi Shammai, well, trust your heart, trust your soul and know that Judaism welcomes you with open arms. Shalom!

Polish Holocaust survivor Jerzy Kluger, a lifetime friend of the late Pope John Paul II, died in Rome on New Year’s Eve. Kluger was a classmate of Pope John Paul and taught him a lot about Judaism. The two lost contact when World War Two broke out but were finally reunited in 1965. Kluger was present in Rome’s synagogue in 1986 when Pope John Paul made his historic visit, during which he called Jews “our beloved elder brothers.” Their friendship is regarded as a major influence on Catholic-Jewish relations. Jerzy Kluger’s burial was in Rome’s Jewish cemetery.
