Modern Day Egypt
                 By Shmuel Sackett                    
 
The beautiful thing about learning the parsha with different commentaries is that many of these great Rabbis ask a simple question that flip things upside down. Did it ever happen that a well-known story in the Torah that you studied 100 times – all of a sudden – becomes a mind-blower when a commentator on the Torah asks a question? The immediate reaction is; “I never realized that!” and the whole story becomes new and exciting.

Well, an exact feeling like that just happened to me and I have been scratching my head ever since. The Slonimer Rebbe asks a very simple question that never occurred me – or any of the people I spoke to – and everyone gave the same reaction; “Wow – he’s right! Why did that happen??”

Here’s the question: When Hashem told Avraham what he planned on doing to complete strangers in Sodom, Avraham immediately put on his defense attorney suit and started pleading for them. Maybe there were 50 righteous men in Sodom, or 45, or 40… all the way down to 10. He pleaded with Hashem to spare them and spent a nice amount of time trying to save the evil people of Sodom from punishment. The fact that he was not successful is not the point. He tried and did what he could.

Compare that to when Hashem tells him that his descendants – his own grandchildren – will be enslaved in Egypt. “Know for sure that your descendants will be foreigners in a land that is not theirs for 400 years. They will be enslaved and oppressed” (Bereisheit 15:13)

What is Avraham’s response? “WHAT?? My kids will be enslaved and oppressed? WHY?? What have they done??” Well, Avraham’s response was not like that at all. As a matter of fact… he had NO response! No objection, no discussion and no debate. It was like the way kids talk today: “My kids will be slaves and oppressed? Cool…”

How can that be? How can Avraham plead for complete strangers in Sodom but not say one word about his own family being punished? Sounds a bit strange, no?? The answer, says the Slonimer Rebbe, is quite obvious. The reason Avraham did not protest about what was going to happen to his own family is because it was something they had to experience.

Everybody talks about leaving Egypt but Avraham knew that going there in the first place was a necessity! He understood that in order for 70 different people to emerge as one nation – and not stay as different individuals – a purification process was needed that would transform the sons of Yaakov into the Nation of Israel.

I am certain that Avraham knew exactly what would happen in Egypt; the pain, the suffering and the agony. However, as difficult as those visions were for the king of kindness, he accepted them as a necessary ingredient in the formation of Am Yisrael. Avraham knew that if the 12 sons of Yaakov stayed in Israel, they would forever remain 12 different sons. Each one would raise a family, set up a system for their personal needs and only come together a few times a year at family simchas or cousins clubs. Therefore, they had to be exiled out of Israel. Once there, they would come together, form a single unit and bond as one. During the dark days of slavery they would help each other overcome the challenges. Finally, they would raise their voices in prayer and beg mercy from Hashem who would hear their cries and answer their request. Hashem would then take these people out of Egypt. They were no longer individuals… they had blended into the Nation of Israel and were now ready to enter the Land and redeem their eternal inheritance.

This was the goal of the exile and Avraham realized – that with all the pain and suffering – it was simply necessary. Therefore, he did not protest when told by Hashem what would happen.

The problem with this logic is that Jews feel that it applies today as well – and nothing could be further from the truth! Staying in exile today is not accomplishing anything positive at all… on the contrary! Staying in America, England, Australia and France today (among other places) is like staying in Egypt when everyone else marched out to Israel. Yes, descending down to Egypt was necessary but when the bell rang to leave, it was time to get out… and get out quickly!! The saddest part of the whole “Exodus” story is that 80% did not leave. They wanted to stay in Egypt where the slavery had ended and Jewish life was very good. They understood the part about why their fathers came there in the first place but somewhere along the line, lost focus on the ultimate goal.
This is exactly what is happening today to many good Jews around the globe. They believe in Hashem, serve Him with all their might but simply lost focus on the main task at hand: To serve Hashem as part of the Jewish Nation in the Land of Israel. With all due respect to what has been accomplished over the years, the time has come to close the shuls and Yeshivas in New York, Baltimore and Lakewood and move them – along with every student and Rebbe – to the Land of our Fathers.

Yes, the years in Egypt had a purpose and so did the 2,000 years in Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Morocco, Turkey, Yemen and the USA. Those years of exile built us into what we are today but they are over. The focus now is on the last part of the promise made by Hashem to Avraham; “They will leave with great wealth” (Bereisheit 15:14). After every exile, after every painful period of time, there is always the “great wealth” that follows.

In our recent history there was the darkest and worse period ever for the Jewish nation. Yet, even after that indescribable pain came the promise that “they will leave with great wealth”… the State of Israel… which came into being a mere 3 years after the Holocaust.

The time has come to leave the modern day Egypt. The slavery is over and the doors are open. The prophecy of being carried to Israel “on the wings of an eagle” has come true – and the eagle is called

“EL AL”(or British Air, Alitalia, Air Canada etc…) These days, as you study and listen to the weekly Torah portion, understand that it is talking to you. Hashem didn’t just want the Jews out of Egypt, He wants you out of New York and London as well. Don’t just listen to the words of the Torah... make sure you live them as well. We’re waiting for you.

Myths & Facts: Online Exclusive 
  
Does the American government recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital?

Myths & Facts: 2012
"International law makes states the sole determinants of their own capital."  Nevertheless, of the 190 nations with which America has diplomatic relations, Israel is the only one whose capital is not recognized by the US government. The US embassy, like most others, is in Tel Aviv, forty miles from Jerusalem. The United States does maintain a consulate in East Jerusalem, however, that deals with Israeli Jews in Jerusalem and Palestinians in the territories. The office works independent of the embassy, reporting directly to Washington, and the consul general is not accredited to Israel. His residence is in West Jerusalem. A whole set of rules (e.g., not allowing official cars to fly the US flag in the city, and marking the birthplace of Americans born in Jerusalem as Jerusalem rather than Israel) were established to do everything possible to avoid the appearance of US legitimization of Israel's capital. The United States not only refused to locate its embassy in Jerusalem, but also pressured others not to do so.


The Times of Israel


The answer to the question of how to resolve the conflicting claims over Palestine has been to partition Palestine into two states. This assumes, however, that the parties only have a dispute over land, but this has never been the case. The conflict has always had political, religious, historical, geographical and psychological dimensions. The international community's unwillingness to accept this reality has led to the continued fantasy that a two-state solution is possible. An honest appraisal of the historical record indicates it was never possible for one principal reason, the Palestinians have never been prepared to share any part of the land they claim as their own. This irredentism is based in large measure on the view that Jews have no place in the Islamic world - except as second-class citizens (dhimmis) under Muslim rule. No UN resolution or State Department formula will change this reality and therefore it is time acknowledge the two-state idea as presently conceived is dead.

Anti-Business Policies Are the Real Reason Companies Leave


Some American companies relocate in foreign lands because costs are lower and hence their profits are higher. Lower labor costs are not the only reason companies move to other countries.

PRIOPĆENJE ZA JAVNOST

Tvrtka Sarađen dobiva poslove bez javnog natječaja
U 2012. i 2013. godini Općina Vir izabrala je putem javne nabave istog izvođača. Radi se o tvrtci Sarađen d.o.o. iz Stankovaca. Ukupna vrijednost radova bila je 13.081.265,25 kuna. I jedan i drugi ugovor potpisani su za asfaltiranje nerazvrstanih lokalnih cesta. Vlasnik tvrtke Sarađen d.o.o. je Marko Sarađen. On je 2011. godine osumnjičen da je „državi ukrao kamenolom“, odnosno za nezakonito eksploatiranje rudnih bogatstava na području Tišnjanske Dubrave. Bez potrebnih dozvola iskopao je čak 77.536,75 prostornih metara tehničko-građevnog kamena i time oštetio državni proračun, odnosno građane Hrvatske za oko 2,36 milijuna kuna. Tvrtka Marka Sarađena od početka prosinca 2012. godine do danas u Hrvatskoj sklopila 45 ugovora teških 183 milijuna i 88 tisuća kuna. 
Njegov brat, Zdenko Sarađen, bio je, kako smo već pisali, kandidat na listi Stipe Petrine, odnosno Mosta, na proteklim parlamentarnim izborima. I on ima svoju poveznicu s otokom Virom.Umjetnički je direktor firme Melodija d.o.o. koja je bila organizator Festivala mladih pjevača amatera “Vir fest” u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Pokrovitelj festivala bila je Općina Vir, a supokrovitelji “Virturizam” d.o.o. i Turistička zajednica Općine Vir.
Upozoravali smo da je firma Sarađen prije tri godine, prije izbora, dobila posao od deset i pol milijuna kunabez javnog natječaja. Asfaltirali su već asfaltiranu cestu. Ispostavilo se da bi objektivno ti isti radovi koštali oko tri puta manje. Zato smo podnijeli prijavu Uskoku, kaže za Fairpress (dana 11.02.2016) Šime Buškulić, tajnik udruge Vir bez podjela.
Tajniku Udruge Vir bez podjela zapaljena kuća

Dana 8.10. 2016. godine Zadarski.hr objavio je članak pod naslovom TAJNIKU UDRUGE VIR BEZ PODJELA NOĆAS ZAPALJENA KUĆA u kojem tajnik Udruge Šime Buškulić navodi: Ja i žena smo spavali na katu! Ovo je pokušaj ubojstva!

- Ovo je pokušaj ubojstva! Htjeli su me živoga zapaliti u mojoj obiteljskoj kući! - tvrdi Šime Buškulić, tajnik udruge Vir bez podjela, kojem je nepoznat netko noćas pola sata iza ponoći benzinom polio i zapalio obiteljsku kuću u ulici Lokvina 14 na otoku Viru.

Najviše siromašnih u Stankovcima

Dana 18.10. 2016. godine, Zadarski list objavio je članak pod naslovom „Najviše siromašnih u Stankovcima, a najmanje u Salima i Zadru“. Čudno da u Stankovcima ima najviše siromašnih, a poslovna zona Stankovci proglašena je 2009. godine kao najuspješnija zona u RH, kada je dobila nagradu za najbolju poduzetničku zonu u Hrvatskoj. Poslovnu zona Stankovci posjećivao je i bivši predsjednik Vlade Ivo Sanader, koji je tada rekao da su poduzetničke zone u Hrvatskoj postale svojevrsnim hrvatskim "new dealom". Planirano je da će u toj zoni biti otvoreno od 250 do 300 radnih mjesta. Postavlja se pitanje, ako je najuspješnija zona i imaju najačeg poduzetnika Marka Sarađena iz Stankovaca, zašto ima najviše siromašnih u Stankovcima? Očito da  stankovački "new deal" nije zaživio.

Povjerenica za informiranje upozorila Općinu Stankovci za povrede zakona

Povjerenica za informiranje zaprimila je predstavku predsjednice Podružnice SHZ Zadarske županije te je u odgovoru upozorila i ukazala Općini Stankovci (dopisom od 16.11.2016.) na povrede Zakona o pravu na pristup informacijama, odnosno na nerješavanje zahtjeva za pristup informacijama.
U predstavci je naveden i podnesen zahtjev za pristup informacijama kojim su se tražile sljedeće informacije: Da li je za asfaltiranje nekategoriziranih ulica u mjestima Općine Stankovci objavljen natječaj? Tko je investitor? Koliko koštaju radovi?
Povjerenica je naložila Općini Stankovci da dostavi podnositelju predstavke tražene podatke u roku od 15 dana od dana zaprimanja akta. Prošao je rok od 15 dana, ali SHZ-u još nisu dostavljeni podaci.
 Asfaltiranje nekategoriziranih ulica u mjestima Općine Stankovci je obavljala tvrtka Sarađen d.o.o. koja je dobila posao bez javnog natječaja. Eto zbog čega još ne dostavljaju podatke kako im je naložila povjerenica za informiranje.

Pitanje morala Općinskog vijećnika Zdenka Sarađena

Dana 19.01.2017. godine u Zadarskom listu objavljen je tekst pod naslovom „Pitanje morala“ u kojem Željko Baradić, načelnik Općine Stankovci navodi „ Na području općine Stankovci djeluje ukupno 14 udruga, a čak pet općinskih vijećnika lobiraju za svoje udruge:
-         Primjerice , imam jednog vijećnika čija udruga broji pet članova, koliko im je dovoljno za registraciju udruge, ali koji godišnje vrti promet od 400.000, 00 kuna organizirajući koncerte, festivale i slične događaje. I onda taj vijećnik bez imalo srama još traži i sredstva iz općinskog proračuna! To je svega stvar morala, a njega ili imaš ili nemaš“ – zaključuje Baradić.
Uvidom u registar Udruga utvrđeno je da Udruga koja ima sjedište u Stankovcima, a koju u tekstu navodi Baradić jeGlazbena udruga „Melodija“ Stankovci, čiji je predsjednikZdenko Sarađen,  ujedno i općinski vijećnik općine Stankovci. Također, Sarađen osim što je predsjednik Udruge „Melodija“ Stankovci ima i tvrtku MELODIJA d.o.o. sa sjedištem u Stankovcima, koja organizira koncerte, festivale i slične događaje, a koja vrti promet preko 800.000,00 kuna za 2014. godinu i promet za 2015. godinu preko 500.000,00 kuna.
Baradić je bio skroman kada je rekao da Sarađen vrti promet samo 400 tisuća kuna, a SHZ je utvrdio da mu je za 2014. godinu promet bio preko 800 tisuća kuna, a za 2015. godinu preko 500 tisuća kuna. I još Sarađen ima obraza da kao općinski vijećnik iz općinskog proračuna traži financijska sredstva za svoju Udrugu „Melodija“ .

Zdenko Sarađen na kandidacijskoj listi Rena Sinovčića

Zdenko Sarađen je bio i na kandidacijskoj listi Rena Sinovčićaza Županijsku skupštinu, 2013. godine pod rednim brojem 34., protiv kojeg  je USKOK podigao optužnicu u tzv. aferi Ribar.
