Mon, 30 Jul 2012 18:33:05 +0000 http://www.israellycool.com/?p=41528#comment-181067 There is nothing wrong with competitive sports as long as they are not taken too seriously. At least, the Maccabee Games are devoid of the commercialism, hype and politics that have corrupted the Olympics. At the same time, it is only positive to teach and set an example of the courtesy, fair play and observance of rules impartially applied that we call sportsmanship and have that carry over into other areas of life, such as commerce and being good neighbors.

(I hit the sack shortly after writing my comment.)

tom,

“Some bad voices say that the athletes in Munich were murdered, because they competed on Shabbat and Rosh HaShana. (I don’t hold this opinion, btw. I think they were murdered only because they were Jewish)”

After wrestling, for a time, between the desire (fueled by the yetzer, no doubt) to lash out at HaShem for the Holocaust and the counter-treatment of shouting down all the voices by insisting we deserved it, I now hold to the middle road of neither criticizing HaShem nor thinking the Jewish people is being punished. We’ve suffered enough, so let’s just think of everything that’s going on today, not as punishment but as setting the stage for the final deliverance. We should observe the Torah and Mitzvot because they are life-giving, even in this world, not because of fear of divine punishment.

“Jews competing in physical activities? Are you kidding me???”

Judaism is for physical activity as a means of maintaining one’s bodily health; it is against competitive sports.

“The real strength of a Jew is in his/their Torah learning.”

Yes, indeed so. The Torah is our wisdom in the eyes of all the nations.

Him & Lisa Laflamme did the memories of those athletes proud: http://www.shalomlife.com/news/17644/ctv-and-rogers-media-inc-commemorate-the-40th-anniversary-of-the-munich-massacre/

Being Jewish and participating in the Olympics is a paradox. Even more creating a “Jewish Olympics” and calling it Maccabia, this is mother of all paradoxes.
You really need to get your history lessons in place man. (that is for Shai, not ziontruth)
Jews competing in physical activities? Are you kidding me??? The real strength of a Jew is in his/their Torah learning.
Like people think today Jews are smart, because they go to university/college, what a joke.

But I don’t know about the costumes. There is something blatant when the male and female uniforms for the same sport are so different from each other. This is the one place I agree with the Iranians; four years ago it really was the “bikini olympics”.

Was the wall built against the Israeli judo team mentioned here. Also, “we bring evil by means of the evil”, in this case NBC.

This is commemoration of a war fought against the “olympic ideal”.
