How to educate

Hi,

"Harms that come to instill rebuke are not effective; you see that the Jews were not humbled before Gd by the halting of dew and rain for three years."

(Ralbag to Melachim I 19:12)

The repentance of King Achav

Hi,

"[Eliyahu said,] "Behold, I will bring evil upon you, I will consume everything you leave, and I will destroy every child of Achav and all who are sealed away and left in Israel. I will make your house like that of Yeravam ben Nevat and Basha ben Achiah because of the anger you incited, causing Israel to sin." And regarding Jezebel Gd said, "The dogs will eat Jezebel in the moat of Yizre'el."…

"And when Achav heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth upon his flesh and he fasted and lay in sackcloth, and he walked humbly. And Gd said to Eliyahu the Tishbi, "Do you see how Achav humbles himself before Me? Because he humbles himself before Me, I will not bring this evil in his days. I will bring this evil upon his house during his son's days.""

(Melachim I 21:21-29)

Have a great day,

The true nature of Gd, and Humility

Hi,

"And the word of Gd said [to Elijah]: Go stand on the mountain before Gd, and Gd will pass by.

"There will be a great and powerful wind, crumbling mouintains and breaking boulders before Gd; Gd will not be in the wind.

"And after the wind there will be a noise; Gd will not be in the noise.

"And after the noise there will be a fire; Gd will not be in the fire.

"And after the fire there will be a thin, silent sound."

(Kings I 19:11-12)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
