Two Kfar Chabad institutions are adding wings. This morning I went to see both. Or Sameach (Happy Light) is an educational institute for problematic youth. The site is green, clean, impeccable. Order and discipline reigns. Everybody is very busy. Today's menu includes eggplants and fried fish-balls in breadcrumbs.

Kevin MacDonald creates a new blood libel
I met the Sackler brothers at the opening of the Sackler School of Medicine, in Tel Aviv University's campus, a monstrous angular building, some twenty years ago. Now we are inaugurating the Med School at Ariel, another bombastic architectural nightmare. I remember the Sacklers's bio saying that they made their money as publishers of scientific journals. I always wondered if science was profitable to the point of donating dozens of med schools all over the world.
I was not surprised by the Sackler making money selling painkillers. What does surprise me is the craving of Americans for them, similar to the Russians universal craving for alcohol. They need chemical courage to go to work and need to numb their senses to work their eight hours and then return to their lonely homes Life for people without faith is unbearable, a "vale of tears". The West needs the "Good News", which is the real meaning in Hebrew (Aramean, Greek) of the New Testament. We Jews survive thanks to our faith in God and the mitzvot (Commandments). American Jews, most of them, are condemned to Hell on Earth. Specially if MacDonald keeps publishing calumnies.

Were the Samaritans - Kushim (Blacks)?
Blogger Bernard Leeman writes: Since 1985 I have writing books and articles (all free on academia.edu)
arguing that the reason why nothing has been found in the Egyptian
Delta/Israel/Palestine confirming the history of the biblical Old
Testament up until the 586 BC destruction of Jerusalem is that the
Hebrew Captivity took place in modern day Sudan, that Moses was from
Nubia, the Exodus passed down through Ethiopia to Southern Arabia and
the Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah were between Taima in northern
Arabia and Yemen in the south. I used evidence from the Ethiopian epic
Kebra Nagast, Kamal Salibi’s work on place names in West Arabia, Chaim
Rabin’s “Ancient West Arabian”, Sabean (Sheban) inscriptions in
Ethiopia, archaeology in Nubia, and DNA. Now, a second look at DNA has
strengthened my argument. 5% of Jews as a whole possess a special DNA
marker known as the Priestly gene, which indicates descent from Aaron,
brother of Moses. 43% of Ashkenazim (“European”) and 53% of Sephardic
(“Oriental) priestly Jews have that gene. Here is map of the
distribution of the priestly gene. It seems the probable origin is Nubia
and that its bearers moved to South West Arabia. Later, it appears to
support the Old Testament and other accounts that the Samaritan Jews of
the Kingdom of Israel were from the northern Hijaz and deported to the
Black and Caspian Sea area. Samaritan in Hebrew is “Kushi” and it also
means “Black African”. The group with the highest percentage of the
priestly gene is the pagan-Hebraic Lemba of Southern Africa – 9% for the
general population and 58% for its priesthood, the Buba.
I recommend visiting Leeman's site. He is a very interesting man.

The best remedy is work
To stop working increases mortality.
Social Security eligibility begins at age 62, and approximately one third of Americans immediately claim at that age. We examine whether age 62 is associated with a discontinuous change in aggregate mortality, a key measure of population health. Using mortality data that covers the entire U.S. population and includes exact dates of birth and death, we document a robust two percent increase in male mortality immediately after age 62. The change in female mortality is smaller and imprecisely estimated. Additional analysis suggests that the increase in male mortality is connected to retirement from the labor force and associated lifestyle changes.It's early morning here. Time to work on that Kalansuwa Commercial Center project.
