Parshas Mattos provides us with some valuable insights into the concepts of responsibility, Hakaras Hatov and the merits of being part of a Tzibbur. After defeating Midyan in war pursuant to Hashem’s direction, there is some question as to how to share and divide the considerable spoils. First, we are given the commandment of Hechsher Keilim – the process of “kashering” untensils which formerly belonged to a goy, either through fire or immersion. (Mattos 31:22) Next comes Hashem’s directive of how to divide the spoils. Hashem instructs Moshe to tally up all that has been captured and divide it in half. (31:27)
An interesting start for sure. By whom, are the spoils to be used and enjoyed? Halves. What should be done wi...

U.S. President Trump commented again this afternoon (Friday) on the deadlock with the murderous terror organization Hamas. "I've always said the most difficult part would be releasing the last 10 to 20 hostages. Hamas blew up the deal. I've always said that when we get to the final hostages, Hamas will never be willing to make a deal," he said.
"We've reached the point where the job against Hamas must be finished. The Israelis will have to fight and clear the area. We’ll need to get rid of Hamas."
Trump hinted at imminent targeted killings: "Hamas never really wanted a deal. I think they’re about to be hunted down."
Trump also dismissed French President Macron's call for a Palestinian state, calling it "irrelevant."
Earlier, Prime Minister Netanyahu wrot...
