The next sugia of our Av Mishna מועד קטן has 36 lines of Gemara and concludes on .דף ה.
ומתקנין קילקולי המים שברה”ר וכו’: דף ה. אמר ר’ יוחנן לא שנו אלא שאין רבים צריכין להם, אבל רבים צריכין להם אפילו חפירה מותר. אמר רב אשי מתניתין נמי דוקא. דקתני עושין כל צורכי רבים. כל לאתויי מאי
Clearly the Cities of Refuge serve as the Prime example of public need. What mussar defines the need for the Cities of Refuge? עיין ירמיה י:א-ה and contrast ישעיה לט:א-מ:ה. Alien foreigners have no need or business to see the secrets concealed within the Cohen nation.
Organizing the Cabinet of government domestic priorities. Minister of Water. Minister of Sanitation. Minister of Housing. Minister of Health. Minister of Education. Minister of Nutrition.
The social contract between leadership and its direct responsibility to the People. People need simple access to clear, clean running water supplies. Sanitation needs to remove human wastes and process these wastes into fertilizer and soil improvement. The Minister of Sanitation includes agriculture. The Minister of Housing manages the Yatzir of the rich and powerful by opposing monopolization of land development by a privileged few. Distribution of land to families centers upon development of farming: the Kibbutz and Moshav models serve as possible land tenure systems. But these models do not exclude private land tenure, which extends to inherited land tenure. Respect of private land tenure includes leased or rented land tenure. The foundation upon which stands the Minister of Housing – government does not own land; the government does not determine nor regulate the market value of property. Israel as a small country, the Housing Ministry binds urban and rural needs as the interchange of marketing opportunities for both population centers.
Minister of Health: This commentary opposes Western socialized medicine. It favors the Chinese healer acupuncture/pressure Reflexology Arts. Food preservation by means of Ozonated Water, Air, and Olive Oil. The primary benefits of ozone, it destroys pathogens on contact, boosts the immune system, increases oxygen to the brain. Ozone has an acidifying effect within cells. Maintaining an ideal pH of 7.36 thus requires bicarbonate buffers. Breathing in a substantial concentration of ozone irritates lung tissue. Therefore, it should be confined to a small room as a treatment center.
The same equally applies to using a radio frequency Rife machine like the Doug coil. A specially built single person sauna like room could house both the Ozone generator as well as a radio frequency Rife generator. The latter machine should operate at 15 amps, six or seven minutes per treatments, twice weekly sessions. This type of treatment requires keeping good records because the Doug coil uses only one frequency during each 7 minute session. This permits 4 different frequencies per sitting. The Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction, commonly known as a “herx”, a detoxification reaction the body experiences from bacteria die off. In sports they refer to muscle soreness with the phrase: “no pain no gain”. Take glucomannan capsules, an herb generally sold as a diet aid, it expands in the gut and makes you feel full; but it also effective at binding toxins and helping the body excrete them. EMF frequencies potentially harmful to humans include 1840 and 1910 Hz.
The chemical process of inflammation along with increased blood supply to the area causes heat. Treatment of Inflammation: inflammation usually a short term process the body employs to protect itself. In Vietnam doctors developed a treatment for sever traumatic wounds, wherein they filled bodies of wounded soldiers with fluids. Once the cause of the injury has been neutralized or the integrity of the living tissue has been secured, inflammation gradually subsides. The first tool in sports medicine – ice – it reduces inflammation.
Some people have herxed for days from a 30-second session on a Doug coil machine. Hence a person should slowly build up to the ideal 7 minutes by starting at half of this time and increasing the usage by 30 seconds per session. Keeping precise records, an absolute essential healing prerequisite. The common man only requires a simple knowledge of herbs. Turmeric, excellent for inflammation and joint pain. Cinnamon: Lowers blood sugar. Rosemary: fights agent causing cancer. Ginger: treats nausea. Holy Basil: Combats stress. St. John’s Wort: Soothes worries. Garlic: Lowers cancer risk. Andrographis treats Common cold and Flu. Sea buckthorn shrub combined with Omega 7, this oil heals dry skin. Aspirin, an anti-inflammatory: dissolve it in water and treat bites or stings, pimples, and ingrown hairs. Vaseline jelly on skin wound keeps the skin moist and reduces scarring. Fruit syrup from a can of peaches combined with flat soda water treats motion sickness, morning sickness, or stomach bugs.
Tea made from dried pomegranate skin will help an upset stomach. The tannic acid in tea and charcoal in the toast treats food poisoning. Whole unpeeled grapefruit cut into quarters, cooked together with a spoon of honey, heated to just under a boil, releases immune boosters, vitamin C and pigments beneficial to health. Butterbur herb, all pyrrolizidine alkaloids removed, treats allergy symptoms—such as itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Cloves combined with mint leaves treats tooth pain. Cherry juice functions as a antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Strained muscle: the general rule applies – activating a sore muscle heals better than resting it.
Back pain, knotted back muscles: Roll around on a tennis ball until you feel it under a tight spot—then relax your body into that area. Headaches, message straight down from the 3rd toe the liver on the left foot and stomach on the right foot. Low energy has a strong connection with dehydration – drink water. Hiccups: swallow one or two teaspoons of sugar or salt. The dry granules reset the irritated nerve that causes your diaphragm to spasm. Dandruff: store lemongrass in tonic water, a carbonated soft drink with dissolved quinine. Warts, wrap them in duct tape, takes about 2 months. An airtight environment proves toxic to warts. Tired eyes: place a used chilled bag chamomile tea on your eyes till the bag becomes body temperature. Flatulence: the Fennel herb prevents formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract.
Sore throat: gargle with table salt and thereafter drink Sage tea. Charley horse in the calves: squeeze the middle of your calf for about 30 seconds. Calluses and corns: grind up a few licorice sticks, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of petroleum jelly, and rub that mixture onto the rough parts of your feet. The estrogen-like substances contained within licorice sticks soften the skin. Coughing: Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of hot water, with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, a dash of cinnamon, and one tablespoon of honey. Anxiety: Catnip tea relaxes and calms the mind. Sunburn: 1 cup ground oatmeal, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon honey, and 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel, then get into the bath and let it soak for a while. Athlete’s foot: crush a few cloves of garlic and mix with olive oil. Treat the infected area several times a day. Motion sickness: your body produces excess saliva which causes nauseousness. Olives contain tannins which dry out your mouth.
Dull, rough skin: Papaya fruit contains a protein-eating enzyme that essentially dissolves dead skin cells. Grind up 2 tablespoons of papaya and add 1 tablespoon of dry oatmeal, then let this mixture sit on your skin for 10 minutes before wiping off. Mild depression: 15 minutes of sunlight and exercise. Combined with some fermented food, like sauerkraut, together with a glass of wine, then meditate for 10 minutes. Thereafter write down in a journal your thoughts. Eat a Mediterranean diet for a time. This diet includes proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables; moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products. Herbal medicine has its risks, a person should give powerful herbs the respect they require.
Minister of Education, focus upon teaching the Oral Torah logic system. Once children develop this foundation of logic knowledge, children who have an aptitude toward law should receive encouragement to study the Talmud as the model of Common Law Courts. But play serves a key function in children’s education. Recess times should vary with individual students attention levels. Education should focus upon Teachers making fluid decisions concerning the needs of individual students. Some young students take immediately to learning. Others might suffer from some learning disability, like Dyslexia. Its simply not fair for a moron to compete with a genius, at least not on an individual level. Classes should separate the quick learners from the slower learners. All children represent an asset to our People. A person who tests at a “C” level requires specific educators. Forming classes should not rigidly adhere to age, instead the focus searches to place students in similar competence aptitude “teams”.
Educators should encourage inter-team competitions between the different competency levels. Under dog teams, like for example a “D team”, who over achieves, and prevails victorious, should receive special awards, like the teacher taking them out to dinner at the most prestigious Steak Restaurant in the country, together with tickets to some major professional sporting event. An “A team” who prevails victorious, their special reward, running the major branches City government for a day; followed up by having a meal with the Head of State.
Children: A) want adults to respect them as adults B) they thrive upon competitions which offers galactic rewards. Children live as the O’lam Ha’Ba of their parents. Therefore, children serve as the Prime investment our people make to build and secure the Cohen nation. Inter-competence competitions merits grand parades given as spoils to exalt our conquering heroes. C) Children breath youth and hope and joy into the hearts of our People. Fusing education together with play ideally grows a mutually beneficial relationship between Adults and Youths. Children possess the blessing of unencumbered visions, they do not know what they can achieve!
Minister of Nutrition. Napoleon said: an army marches upon its stomach. Because General Lee’s army lacked shoes, buttered biscuits, and cider, he stumbled into the encounter at Gettysburg. The overlap between the Offices of Water and Sanitation, likewise emphasizes the crucial need for a blessing: team players in positions of leadership.
את צמח דוד עבדך מהרה תצמיח, וקרנו תרום בישועתך, כי לישועתך קוינו כל היום ומצפים לישועה. ברוך אתה ה’, מצמיח קרן ישועה
What k’vanna does this blessing convey? Many religious Jews whose longing nostalgia reminisce about the times wherein Israel demanded a moshiach from the prophet Shmuel. That the prophet prayed for rain during the dry season … HaShem – our people abandoned the Gilgal oath brit faith [Rashi tefillen]. Hence this blessing has no connection what so ever with David per se. The window of his rule hardly qualifies as a ‘Golden Age’, where rape, incest, murder, mayhem, multiple Civil Wars and parricide prevailed.
The faith of David contrasts with the perverted faiths practiced by Shimshon “the nazir judge” together with the horrid behavior Dan and Binyomin; their tuma nefesh exposed tribal behavior, after the generation of Yehoshua died away … perhaps comparable to the passing of the Shoah generations.
שופטים טז:כח – ויקרא שמשון אל ה’ ויאמר אדני ה’ שכרני נא וחזקני נא אך הפעם הזה האלהים ואנקמה נקם אחת משתי עיני מפלשתים
The Nazir vow learns from Sota jealousy. The issue has nothing per se with the growth of hair but rather not permitting licentious thoughts from swelling within the Yatzir of the loins. Shimshon continually lusted for foreign women, just as did David – one time – together with his sons. Therefore, the k’vanna of this blessing addresses the t’shuva king David dedicated his life to pursue after the curse of continuous Civil War condemned his house following the debacle with Bat-Sheva the mother of king Shlomo.
This t’shuva made by king David directly compares to the mitzva of פרה אדמה. The language of שופטים
ואין מציל כי רחוקה היא מצידון… ויהי בימים ההם ומלך אין בישראל
The similarity of language describes a period of anarchy and confusion comparable to the similar language
ולא היה מים לעדה ויקהלו על משה ועל אהרן …ולמה הבאתם את קהל ה’ אל המדבר הזה למות שם אנחנו ובעירנו? … ולמה העליתנו ממצרים להביא אתנו אל המקום הרע הזה לא מקום זרע ותאנה וגפן ורמון ומים אין לשתות … ודברתם אל הסלע לעיניהם … ואמר להם שמעו נא המרים המן הסלע הזה נוציא לכם מים
The common denominator between the mitzvot of kre’a sh’ma, tefilla, ברכת הזימון, and the blessing made by the Cohenim, אין להם שם ומלך. What distinguishes a blessing from saying prayers of Tehillem? The former requires שם ומלך whereas the latter does not. The chaos and anarchy which prevailed within the Wilderness generation, these people – who lost their portion in O’lam Ha’ba, despite “accepting” the Torah revelation at Sinai – they did not know how to davven and Moshe failed to teach them this primary mitzva. This failure to instruct the mitzva of tefilla, this failure to sanctify the Name of HaShem, directly compares to David and Bat-Sheva. From this Parsha the generations of Israel learn the mitzva of tefilla as the Prime commandment of the Torah. Tefilla imprints Order within society, when the People discern the distinction between a blessing/oath from saying tehillim/praises. The book which contains the Shemone Esri, we call the Siddur.
The anarchy and confusion of g’lut Jewry when confronted by the “daughter” religious theologies of monotheism. A Torah oath shares no common ground with religous creeds and belief systems. Our rabbis, they stood in the stead of Moshe, they too failed to teach clear instructions, how to make a blessing within tefilla. The Wilderness generation(s) of g’lut Jewry do not understand how to davven as a mitzva from the Torah. As a consequence, the Avoda Zara of Xtianity and Islam enticed and confused; these ‘daughter religions of Monotheism’, enjoyed some plausibility – especially when compared to the religious faiths practiced in India. Hinduism, the search to understand the Brahma existence from within the ‘self’ or ‘soul.’ The stark contrast on the meaning of soul immediately disqualifies and invalidates that avoda zara. The antonym of brahmanism – a religion characterized by diversified pantheist beliefs – the search for ‘not self’/’not soul’ – Buddhism. This religion also fails to arouse the Jewish Yatzir to make a mass conversions. As did occur with the tuma faiths in Europe and the Middle East, during the shameful false messiah periods – extending for the last 2000 years.
The Minister of Education involves more that reading, writing, and arithmetic. The need to educate our children exists as a tactical necessity. But the strategic obligation to employ education as a tool wherein the elder generations give heart to the youth of the nation, based upon the joy that Jews do not cheat, steal, oppress, rob, pursue ערוה/wanton sex, and compete with each other on a national level to pursue real academic excellence. When the עלטערע generations publicly rejoice for victory in academic excellence; the youth of our nation causes feelings of love to bind our People as the Cohen nation.
Herein concludes the learning on this sugia of our Av Mishna מועד קטן.
