there is another wrinkle to the verse. The prophecy is a charge to the Jewish people to be agents of the salvation of others. Some commentators see that as connected to being a light to all the nations, so that all other peoples see the rectitude of Judaism and believe in God. Some see it as the Jews bringing about specifically the recovery of the exiles of the 10 lost tribes.

Wow, another actor that I wont be able to enjoy anymore, Natalie Portman who was up there in my top 5, she just fell off the list with her snub to Netanyahu in declining the Genesis award, so sad.

I mean, I just loved Natalie, but I almost worwhip Netanyahu, any thoughts?

What is the deal with awards, especially movie awards? How did the process sink so low as to become nothing but politics? I don't want to know the politics of actors and I hate every one of them for opening they mouths about politics and it doesn't matter whether they are democrat or Republican, I just don't want to know about an actors politics. An actor should be mysterious, we shouldn't know personal things about them if we want to enjoy their art, but once they go stuck on stupid with their missplaced desires to save the world, it's over for me. They get paid some ridiculous amount for being an actor, and they open they mouths and ruin the movie industry. I would go to the movies every week, but since actors get stuck in their stupid political agendas, I haven't been to the movies in decades because these stupid, STUPID actors who get way more money than their worth, and then they start thinking God has put them there for a purpose and it is up to them to save the world with their super hero complex, and then you can't even look at them, they ruin everything, O NATALIE, SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN.

Why did G-d create actors and actresses?



So that we wouldn't think that politicians are the most ignorant people in the public eye.

There’s no such thing as a dumb question. That is, until I saw this one.

FYI, with no further explanation of why you’re asking, your question smacks of ill intent.
