Prayers at the Independence Square

In the morning of November 27th thousands of people demanding European integration, gathered at the Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine, and prayers were sounded several times during the day, reports religious broadcast



Around 7:30 am the famous singer Ruslana (winner of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004), who spent the night on the stage together with the protesters, got a note, which content was a prayer.
Together with the people, Ruslana read it and asked Jesus Christ to bless and protect all the participants and Ukraine in general. Shortly after, a woman from a religious school climbed on the stage, and said that she is going to work with her students and will be praying all the time for all participants so that everything will turn good in Ukraine.
At the Independence square during the past couple of days, there were also other appeals to God.
Recall, that last Sunday more than 100 thousand people gathered in the central square of Kiev demanding the signing of the Associate membership to the European Union. It was the largest peaceful protest action since the Orange Revolution.
On November 21st the Verkhovna Rada failed to adopt any version of the six bills that involve treatment of convicted nationals abroad that required signing an Associated Agreement with the EU. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to suspend the process of preparation for signing the AA with the European Union, and passed a resolution initiating a tripartite committee with the participation of the European Union and the Russian Federation.
In this regard, in Kiev, and later in other cities of Ukraine indefinite protests started against the authorities' decision to stop the process of European integration.
Since Sunday, people continue to come to the main square of Ukraine every day, even some stay overnight. On Tuesday, it was decided that all party banners should be removed and the expressed position would be solely as the united Ukrainian people.
“Radio Liberty” and “public TV” periodically conduct broadcasting from the Independence Square.

The bizarre list of charges were a shock for members of Im’s Contra Costa Korean Presbyterian Church. The youth pastor announced his resignation on Sunday, but didn’t explain why he was leaving. He told the police that he was the founder of The Living Well Ministries, a Christian non-profit that allegedly helped widows, homeless, and orphans.But he apparently never brought these high-minded goals home.

Frankenstein and the Bible

Mary Shelley's  Frankenstein  was published in London in the early 1800's well after the Jewish legend of the Golem-creature who protected 16th century Jews in Prague Although there are some differences between the story lines, the similarities between Frankenstein and the Golem are striking: For starters, they were both big and scary with superhuman strength. Plus, they both had to be Jewish. I mean, most of my Jewish relatives have names that end in "-stein"... Goldstein, Silverstein, Frankenstein... you name it. And my own Grandma swore that my Grandpa looked like a Golem. And just to drive home my logical deductions even more, the Talmud talks about a Golem being created who couldn't communicate verbally (Sanhedrin 65B) and it seems pretty clear that Frankenstein doesn't utter any intelligible language known to man. Either that or Frankie works as a NYC subway operator. Although the Talmud may have spoke about Golems, Isaiah spoke about "wearying...

The statement shocked members of the Jewish community worldwide, especially as characterizing the Reform movement as another religion has political implications relating to Israel's Law of Return, which prevents non-Jews from making aliyah, or immigrating to Israel.   The Jewish Telegraphic Agency   reported that a statement released by Israel's Reform movement explained that by using the term "another religion," Rotem effectively stated that "Reform Jews have no place in Israel." Gilad Kariv, executive director of the Reform movement in Israel, called on the Knesset speaker to reprimand Rotem, who is the   Knesset Law, Constitution, and Justice Committee chairman . He said, "An assertion such as this makes it ...
