Parshat Behukotai<\/h3>\n

If you will not hearken to Me, and walk casually with Me, I too will act casually with you . . .<\/em> (26:28)<\/p>\n

All sins derive from the sin of insignificance: when a person ceases to be sensitive to the paramount importance which G\u2011d attaches to his life and deeds. \u201cI don\u2019t really matter\u201d is not humility\u2014it is the ultimate arrogance. It really means: \u201cI can do what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most terrible of punishments is for G\u2011d to indulge the sinner this vanity. For G\u2011d to say: \u201cAll right, have it your way; what happens to you is of no significance\u201d\u2014for G\u2011d to act toward him as if He really does not care what happens to him.<\/p>\n

FALLEN HEROES: Maine\u2019s Jewish Sailors and Soldier Boys<\/h3>\n

by Susan Cummings-Lawrence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thirty-four young Maine Jewish men died in the service of their country in the two World Wars. This project is meant to say a little something about some of them. More than just names on a public memorial marker or grave stone, these men were getting started in adult life. They had newly acquired high school and college diplomas. They had friends, families and communities who loved and valued them. They had goals and dreams. (SC-L)<\/p>\n

Go to the online museum of Maine Historical Society\u2015 Maine Memory Network.
\nwww.mainememory.net<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Find four exhibits and two audio interviews with WWII veterans Mel Stone and Jim Friedlander. Also learn about the origins of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA, the founding of the Jacob Cousins Post #99 and the anti-Semitism and other social forces that made their development necessary and productive.<\/p>\n
