God Himself is described as "Reviver of the dead, suporter of the fallen, healer of the sick, and releaser of the confined."DFhttp://www.yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-40261437931923440032011-05-03T03:16:23.514-04:002011-05-03T03:16:23.514-04:00I think this post would be enhanced with a link to...I think this post would be enhanced with a link to the post about the Kel Mole Rachamims for the victims of the inquisition.JXGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-45261334867752656772011-05-02T22:48:08.479-04:002011-05-02T22:48:08.479-04:00fred:

At his own expense he organized the regiment of Rough Riders and led it against the foe. There were many Jews among the Rough Riders; he recommended them for promotions and sang their praises. Now Spain lies punished for all its sins, and the man who fought against her stands before the people of this state asking if they approve what he did. Every vote for the colonel of the Rough Riders is a vote of approval of the war; every vote for his opponent is a vote for Spain!"Abba's Rantingshttp://abbasrantings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-4306234666039606932011-05-02T13:59:11.622-04:002011-05-02T13:59:11.622-04:00I invented it this morning, or late last night.I invented it this morning, or late last night.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-37848644831726821652011-05-02T13:07:54.349-04:002011-05-02T13:07:54.349-04:00Is Hhm a standard English abbreviation for חכם?Is Hhm a standard English abbreviation for חכם?Mar Gavrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-72980552025524135772011-05-02T11:42:04.902-04:002011-05-02T11:42:04.902-04:00When Teddy Roosevelt ran for president, his Jewish...When Teddy Roosevelt ran for president, his Jewish supporters promoted him as the man who had avenged the Inquisition by beating the Spanish. That's a nice long memory. (There are also the famous claims that the Jewish pirates of the Caribbean a century earlier were similarly motivated.)Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-86353695440799180102011-05-02T10:28:34.096-04:002011-05-02T10:28:34.096-04:00I have the same prayer in a Machzor printed in Lon...I have the same prayer in a Machzor printed in London 1904!Yankelnoreply@blogger.com
