Words of Torah arg compared with garments of delicate wool, which are not quickly acquired, but are' speedily worn. So words of Torah are hard to acquire; but .easy to lose.- Words of foolishness, on the other hand, areiike sackcloth, easy to buy, but^not easy to tear. So words of folly areeasy toacquireand hard to lose.

ROME —Surveying of the bed of the Kiver Tiber in Rome, and archaeological excavations on its banks have given a new lease of life to the legend, of, ^the Golden,
According to the legend, the menorah was taken from the Temple at Jerusalem by the victoriousRoman legions to celebrate the triumphant return of the Emperor Titus in 70 CE.
: Sculptures on the Emperor's arch, in the Forum in Rome show the menorah being carried by the vanquished Jews. Fi^r 2Q, centuries, until the : birth of tiie State of Israel in 1948, pious Jews avoided walking under th;e arch so as not to **re-enacfv the suffering an4 humiliations of their ancestors.
However, the legend has it that the Jews>stole the naen-orah and threw it into the River Tiber;toprevent it from being placed in a pagan temple.

Money doesn't mean anything. It istheiftftjitviw fgood deeds) that a Jew collects that he will take with'liinft*
During Yom Kippur, a certain wealthy Jew became extremely thirsty. They asked the Divrei Chaim of Sanz if they cpuld give hiih a spoonful of water. Said the Pivrei Chaim: *^Ask him how niuch he is willing to pay.'*
' **Even half of my wealth,* answered tlie man. The Sanzer allowed him the spoonful. ^
Still the man was thirsty, and they asked the Divrei Chaim if they could give him another spoonfyU Said the Sanzer: "Tell him, that for every spoonful from now on^ he will have to give a hundred gold coins to charity.** They told the man, and immediately his thirst went away.
A Jew should thirst for G-d, to see what he can accomplish on earth, how many mitzvot, how many good deeds; ;
Said Reb Moshe Leib of Sassov: "There are millionaires for dollars. But there are no millionaires for time.*' -
He also commented: "A person who does not have at least one hour each day for himself, for his^oul, to take stock of himself, is hardly a person."
The Torah underlines how precious timei is. In ancient Israel, Jews always counted the years: six years^^^ and then came the seventh. Sabbatical year; 49 years, and then came the Fove//; the fiftieth Jubilee year. Work ceased. The, land-returned to the original owners. Slaves were set free:>A Jew sat'and studied Torah, '■ ■  # ^
Commands the Torah: "V'sofarto Tchat Count for yourself seven times seven years. .** Why the Word /V/ift for yourself? Says" the Tzror Hamor. All the counting*a pe^on does, how much money he has, how many parcels of realistate^ will not help him in the end — it Will all be left behind. It is not for himself but for the tax department.
Butthe T9rah*s counting—years of mitzvoti looking forward to working the holy land of Israel and then taking a rest to serve G-d, 61' when We count the days ofSe/iratHaomer, and long for the holiday of Shavuot and receiving theToiah, when we count the hours until dawn when we can don tallit andtefiUen and recite Shma — is Vcha — for yourself!
There are clocks and clocks. Some clocks wind down, and sdihe wind up. Some clocks announce hoiiriy:^BongJ Another hour gone from life! Another hour closer to the ettdtrThat*s a tollin;g clock, depressing, sad.'
,„0jit a Jevwsh dpck should ring: with jpy^f^Anorficr hour of good deecis accomplislied! We ire ai^othef hour closer to the Great Redemption, to the days of Ac Mes^, toaday time when all is Shabbat!** >' - " *
A Jew can onty have real joy wlien bis dock andilis life is tied to Eretz Yisrael.
Shabbat Shalom.

eight years prior to the outset of the war. Kirkpatrick^said this should have presented a -clear warning of< the impending^ disaker.**.She noted that part of thej^lans for theex^rmination of^ European Jewry was to create ^the **tnyth** of .the Jewish people'as being **subhuman.** . -
A second lesson to be'drawti from the Holocaust, Kirkpatriok' added, was that **totalitarianste^t the grounds for more sustained aggression and persecution by beginning with minor suppression and calculated violence.^ She noted that the first regulations against the Jews consisted sometimes of adtions such as limiting their travel.
She said that the actions by the Nazis against the Jewish population was partially a test of the world community's resolve-and said that when it remained silent about the-persectilion of the Jews, the Nazis proceeded to embark with their br<^der plans for conquering Western Europe.
The third lesson, Kirkpatrick said, is the need now fpr concerted action between the United States and its aUiesf^to ensure that the totalitarian forces of antitfreedoirt and dehumanization do not ptevail.** She said, hoWevi^r, that the' lessons and implications of the Holocaustare not-necessarily universally shared.
Referring to the United Nations^^,Ktrkpatrick said that if anyone remains doubtful as to thecotis^qijenciBSi of wbrdsf, those doubts ishould be disspelled in view of the efforts in the p^st year to have Israel expelled from the United Nations, where the Jewish State was labelled by the U.N.'Genenil Assembly **a& a non-peace loving nation.*^ , ■ ^
The charter of thc^U.N. calls for membership of all nations which are peace-lbvihg, and thisactioii by the Oeneial A^<^bly^. could have paved the way for IsraePs expulsion ftom the U,N. ^ Kirkpatrick said that to use the term'^genocide^'a^iinstjsiael "^is the worst possible outrage** and a'^sacrilege*'to the victims of the Holocaust. She pointed out thatcoUecttveviotenceagainst a people is used as a means to scapegoat, while genocide **ainis to . diminate ... is calculated, planned purposefully (and) total in ' intent.** " ..
The award presented to Kirkpatrick created some dispute. Members and supporters of the New Jewish A^mia, a natioixai organizatioh claiming a membership of ;2,500, picketed outside the hotel where the dinner was hcW, The Agenda issued a statement calUng Kirkpatrick *'an apologist for .ri^twing dictatorships** and saying that **hef support of Israel <^n never eradicate her collaboration.^ with these <murder6|i$ dictatorships.** The Agenda said it wis "disappointed .and angered** with the Simon Wiesenthal Ctentrcfor bestowm^^the award upon Kirkpatrick. .
