Живопись: The Disconnect. Картины Мэтью Уэзерстоуна (Matthew Weatherstone), в которые хочется заглянуть
Европейские художники, как правило, тяготеют к натуралистичности, реалистичности полотен, восточные же наоборот, не стараются добиться фотографического качества изображаемого на холсте. Австралийский художник Мэтью Уэзерстоун (Matthew Weatherstone) делает и то, и другое: его работы выглядят картинками из детских книг или мультфильмов, но в то же время они кажутся настолько настоящими, что хочется влезть внутри, чтобы посмотреть своими глазами, что же прячется там, внутри?

Современное искусство: Echoes-Infinity: превращение белой комнаты в цветочную поляну
Вы наверняка помните ту масштабную инсталляцию Bloom в старом здании Массачусетского Центра психологического здоровья, для которой потребовалось 28000 цветов в горшках? И уж точно не забыли об арт-проекте Obliteration Room от японской художницы Яёи Кусамы (Yayoi Kusama), где дети с родителями покрыли разноцветными горошками огромную белую комнату. Объединив в одно целое два этих арт-проекта другая японская выдумщица Shinji Ohmaki устроила свой перфоманс под названием Echoes-Infinity, превратив абсолютно белую комнату в разноцветную цветочную поляну.

Вокруг света: Глициниевый рай: море красивых цветов в японском парке Асикага (Ashikaga Flower Park)
«Хожу, гляжу в окно ли я – цветы да небо синее, то в нос тебе магнолия, то в глаз тебе глициния» - так Владимир Маяковский описывал свои впечатления о Крыме. На Черноморском побережье культивировать этот удивительный цветок смогли сравнительно недавно, его родиной считается Китай. Сегодня в настоящем «глициниевом раю» можно очутиться, если посетить японский цветочный парк Асикага, расположенный в префектуре Тотиги на острове Хонсю. В начале мая здесь наблюдается пик цветения, поэтому сюда съезжаются любопытные туристы со всего мира!

Принт: Real Cookbook – съедобная поваренная книга
Английское слово «cookbook», означающее «поваренную книгу», вполне можно перевести по частям и прочитать как «книга, которую можно приготовить». Вот такую книгу с названием Real Cookbook и создала немецкая студия Korefe. Ее, действительно, можно приготовить и съесть!

Фотография: Тихий мир. Фотопроект Silent World от Lucie & Simon
Нет ничего страшнее, чем наблюдать тихие, абсолютно пустынные улицы крупных, густонаселенных мегаполисов. Города, в которых жизнь кипит независимо от времени года и суток, никогда не замолкают, наполненные гулом машин, разговорами людей, музыкой из гипермаркетов и детским смехом. Но фотографам из дуэта Люси и Саймон (Lucie & Simon) удалось запечатлеть шумные площади, улицы и аллеи мегаполисов тихими, пустынными и одинокими. Фотопроект называется, Silent World или Мир, погруженный в тишину

Фотография: Подводные псы. Серия забавных фотографий Underwater Dogs
Когда любимая собака весело ныряет в реку или море, гоняясь за мячиком или фрисби, хозяева могут наблюдать только за ее бешено вертящимся хвостом и сверкающими пятками. Что же видит подводный мир, когда животное врывается в толщу воды, нарушая его сон и покой? Фотограф Сет Кастил (Seth Casteel) сделал целую серию скоростных снимков "подводных собак" под названием Underwater Dogs, чтобы и мы смогли это увидеть.

Â· Today's 'Nasi': Menasseh

In today's "Nasi" reading (see "Nasi of the Day [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=925318711885D52F84107F9AF2D7D3DE&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]" in Nissan 1), we read of the gift bought by the nasi of the tribe of Menasseh [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=490F4A376C46920FD6E7759E43EF504D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], Gamliel ben Pedahtzur, for the inauguration of the Mishkan [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=D410CD2062838325BA3065D62A155D25&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

Text of today's Nasi in Hebrew [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=4905348F5DE9E31515ADFD1FA482E691&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and English [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=E8101003CE688E273700FED40D5654C1&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

Â· Recite from Haggadah; Study Passover Laws

The Shabbat before Passover is termed Shabbat HaGadol ("The Great Shabbat") in commemoration of the "great miracle" that happened in Egypt on this day, heralding the Exodus from Egypt five days later (see "Today in Jewish Hstory"). Shabbat HaGadol customs include reading a portion of the Haggadah (from "Avadim hayinu..." to "...al kol avonotainu"), which tells the story of the Exodus; it is also customary that the rabbi of the community delivers a lecture in which he elaborates on the laws of Passover and their significance, in preparation for the festival.

=======================
Today in Jewish History
=======================

Â· War of Egyptian Firstborn (1313 BCE)

On the Shabbat before the Exodus--Nissan 10th on that year--the first-born of Egypt, who occupied the senior positions in the priesthood and government, fought a bloody battle with Pharaoh's troops, in an effort to secure the release of the Israelites and prevent the Plague of the Firstborn. This "great miracle" is commemorated each year on the Shabbat before Passover, which is therefore called Shabbat HaGadol, "The Great Shabbat." (This is one of the rare instances in which a commemorative date in the Jewish calendar is set by the day of the week rather than the day of the month.)

For more on the war of the Firstborn, see here [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=A0EA48A9357B483E8513B7D6F2CDA495&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

Â· Grand Feast Ended in Shushan (366 BCE)

The grand 180-day feast hosted by King Achashverosh came to an end on this day.

Achasverosh miscalculated the start date of Jeremiah's prophecy which promised the rebuilding of the Holy Temple after 70 years of Babylonian exile. When, according to his calculations, the seventy years had passed and the Jews were not redeemed, he orchestrated this grand party to celebrate the "demise" of the Chosen Nation. During the course of the party he brazenly displayed many of the vessels looted from the Holy Temple by the Babylonian armies.

DAILY DOSE: Inquisitively Challenged

B"H

Inquisitively Challenged
========================

The rebellious child who questions everything sits in a place beyond the one who has nothing to ask.

If the rebellious child questions, it is because it touches him, it says something to him. Perhaps it even bothers him.

But a perfectly capable human being who has no questions about Torah and G-d—he is stuck in his place. Perhaps he is a good religious Jew who does good deeds and never sins. But there is no sense of the spirit, of the meaning of life, of transcendence.

He is stuck in Egypt and knows of nothing higher.

—at the second Seder, 1965

· Today's 'Nasi': Ephraim

In today's "Nasi" reading (see "Nasi of the Day [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=A4A94AF334993612B58ABC9AFF1983F4&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]" in Nissan 1), we read of the gift bought by the nasi of the tribe of Ephraim [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=7E777485478F2832A051D6D8FC6EA5B5&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], Elishama ben Amihud, for the inauguration of the Mishkan [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=BEB0440115A6EF9BBB38A8C5E0A26A48&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

· Sanctification of the Moon

Once a month, as the moon waxes in the sky, we recite a special blessing called Kiddush Levanah, "the sanctification of the moon," praising the Creator for His wondrous work we call astronomy.

Kiddush Levanah is recited after nightfall, usually on Saturday night. The blessing is concluded with songs and dancing, because our nation is likened to the moonâ€"as it waxes and wanes, so have we throughout history. When we bless the moon, we renew our trust that very soon, the light of Gâ€'d's presence will fill all the earth and our people will be redeemed from exile.

Though Kiddush Levanah can be recited as early as three days after the moon's rebirth, the kabbalah tells us it is best to wait a full week, till the seventh of the month. Once 15 days have passed, the moon begins to wane once more and the season for saying the blessing has passed.

Today in Jewish History
=======================

· Jews Prepare to Cross into Canaan (1273 BCE)

The Jewish nation mourned for thirty days following the passing of Moses. (During this time, Joshua, the new leader of the Jewish nation, sent scouts to spy on the land of Canaan, see Jewish History for the 5th of Nissan [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=5D68B8C21CBF81AF02865ABE8CACF3CB&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]).

On the 7th of Nissan, the first day after the mourning period came to an end, Joshua instructed the Jews to stock up on provisions and prepare themselves to cross the Jordan river and begin the conquest of the Promised Land. This was the first time Joshua addressed the nation, and they unconditionally accepted him as their new leader.

The actual crossing occurred on the 10th of Nissan [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=E43BEB55C8953E695AB7A8D464CAB19E&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Is Turning the Other Cheek a Jewish Value?

B"H

Nissan 6, 5772 * March 29, 2012

========================================
Q U E S T I O N O F T H E W E E K
========================================

Is Turning the Other Cheek a Jewish Value?
By Yehuda Shurpin
==========================================

Dear Rabbi,

I have been under the impression that "turning the other cheek" to your enemies is not a Jewish approach. But recently a friend pointed out the verse in Lamentations [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=093E0137F5D110F976791F3DAA31EBC5&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (3:30 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=334554A40C3B9E5A014529F11A220E44&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]), "Let him offer his cheek to his smiter; let him be filled with reproach."

So now I'm confused:

* Is it or is it not a Jewish value?
* If it is, how does that jibe with the Talmudic dictum, "If someone is coming to kill you, kill him first?"

Answer: Don't Turn The Cheek!

It is clear that "turning the other cheek" to a violent aggressor is not the Jewish way.

King Solomon, wisest of all men, proclaimed:

There is a time to kill and a time to heal… a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.[1]

There is no doubt that there are times when it is necessary to battle adversaries.

In fact, throughout the Biblical account of history [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=A80F2F168EA4BD3A8B434A94D836C147&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], the Jewish people were commanded to strike at their enemies, sometimes even preemptively.[2] As you pointed out correctly, our sages instruct, "If someone comes to kill you, you should rise up and kill him first."[3]

See The Jew's Double Standard [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=484166C7888C6A9EB94636499C470CEA&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]. The Context Counts!

As often happens, the original phrase in the context of the surrounding passage has a completely different connotation than it has on its own. In fact, there is nothing in that passage about an enemy, or being under attack. And if it were not for the word "smiter," we would not even know that there was another person involved, since the rest of the passage clearly attributes the afflictions to the hand of G‑d.

Let's examine the prophecy in its context. The Prophecy refers to a crucial point in history when the Holy Temple lies in ruins and the Jewish nation has been exiled. Morale is at an all-time low, and fighting back is not logistically possible. So Jeremiah does not lecture about the importance of self-defense. That would be futile. Instead, he offers hope, comfort and perspective to sustain the Jewish people in exile[4].

After lamenting at considerable length about his suffering and despair, Jeremiah [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=7F2B0784087DE45D099A3C985305CAC9&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], turns to hope saying:

This I reply to my heart; therefore I have hope. Verily, the kindnesses of the L‑rd never cease! Indeed, His mercies never fail! "The L‑rd is my portion," says my soul; "therefore I will hope in Him...[5]"

He then elaborates on that hope, expressing faith in G‑d's mercy:

It is good for a man that he bear a yoke in his youth. Let him sit solitary and wait, for He has laid [it] upon him. Let him put his mouth into the dust; there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to his smiter; let him be filled with reproach. For the L‑rd will not cast [him] off forever. Though he cause grief, He will yet have compassion according to the abundance of His kindness. For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of man…[6]

Toward the end of the chapter, lest one think that he was absolving the perpetrators of what they have done, Jeremiah calls on G‑d to punish and destroy them:

My enemies have hunted me like a bird, without cause… I called on Your name, O L‑rd, from the depths of the pit… You did draw near when I called on You; You did say, "Do not fear." …Requite them, O Lord, according to the work of their hands. Give them a weakness of heart; may Your curse be upon them. Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the L‑rd.[7]"

It becomes clear that the remark about "offering the cheek" is not said in relation to confrontation with an adversary. Rather, the remark is made within the context of hope and consolation. A True Lesson from This Verse

According to Rabbi Moshe Alshich [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=81518A61E66222B9FF8A719D52E3994C&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (1508–1593), the verse, "It is good for a man that he bear a yoke in his youth," means that when a person is afflicted with tragedies in the physical world, the person should remember that G‑d is all-merciful and good. The purpose of one's suffering may very well be in order that she or he will receive a greater reward at a future time, in this world or the next.[8]

Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, Nachmanides [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3E46BD4650B7F1CFFAF17D33A2CDBA66&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], explains that mild suffering in this World can save one from severe judgment in the Coming World.[9]

And Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=9F877CF3105903A0F23108121BA3EC1B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] compares the physical-world spiritual-world parallel to the sun and its shadow. Anytime the sun moves, shadows on earth are altered. To us, thousands of miles below, the change may be so slight and gradual that we hardly notice. But something big is going on in the galaxy – the sun is in orbit. In the same way, the goings on in our world are a reflection and result of the goings on Above. [10]

So the instruction, "Let him offer his cheek to his smiter; let him be filled with reproach," is a guideline for attitude in the face of adversary. We are expected to receive our afflictions with the knowledge and belief that all G‑d does is ultimately for the good, even if the purpose is not apparent.

According to Rabbi Isaac Luria [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=8BB9F2BD9C77AC5DDFA144F0B2959187&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], the Arizal [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=8BB9F2BD9C77AC5DDFA144F0B2959187&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], when we adopt this attitude towards our suffering, we will merit to not actually suffer at the hands of those enemies.[11]

See Anger Management 101 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C5353EFA6724438CC7D37F6EBABF0C4B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].

4.There is a debate between the sages whether the book of Lamentations was written before or after the destruction of the Holy Temple (See Midrash Aicha Rabah 1:1). According to the view that it was written before the actual destruction (which seems to be the prevailing opinion), Jeremiah first dictated to his student, Baruch ben Neirah, a dire prophecy that would befall the Jewish nation. This prophecy contained what are today chapters 1, 2 and 4 of the book of Lamentations, and were written in advance of the actual event in the hope that it would arouse the Jews to repent. However, when it was read before the king, he cut up the scroll containing the prophecy and threw it into the fire. Later, G‑d told Jeremiah to rewrite these prophecies adding chapters 3 (the chapter under discussion) and 5 , as it is recounted in the book of Jeremiah ch. 36 . According to the view that the book of Lamentations was written after the destruction, the book of Lamentations that we have is not the same scroll that was thrown into the fire. For more on this see When was the Book of Lamentation Written?But, regardless of when it was actually written, the book in general, and particularly chapter 3, address the time after the destruction of the holy Temple and the exile of the Jewish nation.

DAILY DOSE: Grasping Truth

B"H

Grasping Truth
==============

Blind faith cannot grasp Truth, because it does not grasp anything at all.

Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because Truth is larger than Intellect.

Only the eye of the soul, its inner wisdom, can grasp Truth and know it as she knows her own self.

For she is Truth.
