3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Jewish group to slaughter lamb in Passover sacrifice rehearsal
A Bible-adherent Jewish group on Sunday ritually slaughtered a young lamb in what is called a rehearsal for the renewal of the Passover sacrifice once the Jerusalem temple is rebuilt. The Temple Movement won approval to carry out the practice sacrifice from Israel's High Court on Friday after animal rights groups asserted that the lamb would be put through inhumane suffering. In its legal response, the Temple Movement explained that the slaughter would be carried out according to biblical standards, which is the same method used to slaughter lambs at kosher slaughterhouses around the country. The sacrifice and accompanying religious ceremonies were performed at a prominent yeshiva overlooking Jerusalem's Temple Mount, which is still occupied by several Muslim shrines.
TEMPLE INSTITUTES RESPONSE TO ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP TRYING TO STOP THEM FROM SACRIFICING ON APRIL 6TH 2008
As reported by Israel National News, the Temple Institute has received a letter from the animal rights organization Tnoo Lachayot Lichyot (Let the Animals Live) protesting the Temple Institute's intentions to take part in a day long symposium to be held on April 6, (Rosh Chodesh Nisan). Likewise, the group is threatening to take legal action to prevent the participants of the symposium from carrying out an educational demonstration of the Passover sacrifice.
Below is the response of the Temple Institute:
Shalom Reuven Ladiansky, Chairman of Let the Animals Live,
We have received your letter stating your concerns, and begin by welcoming this opportunity for dialogue. As you know, the prohibition against tzar l'ba'alai chaim cruelty to animals is a Torah based principle. Torah strictly forbids both causing physical pain and/or psychological or emotional anguish to animals. Anyone who transgresses this prohibition is in violation of the trust and responsibility placed in him by G-d.
This trust is first articulated in Genesis 2:15: God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it. From this we learn that the Torah indeed empowers man to possess mastery over the natural world, but at the same time places upon man the responsibility to guard and protect nature.
The laws of kashrut and shechita (ritual slaughter) require that the slaughter of an animal, whether for personal consumption, or to be used as an offering in the Holy Temple, must be conducted employing certain methods and instruments in such a manner as to guarantee a painless and fear-free demise for the animal. Slaughter that fails to achieve either of these two goals is not kasher.
Concerning the specific case of the Passover lamb offering, one must be aware of the history of the offering, and of the intimacy and defining nature of the offering, in order to fully appreciate its centrality to the Jewish experience. The original Passover offering, commanded by G-d, literally to both mark and to precipitate the birth of the Jewish nation, while still in Egypt, was and remains an iconoclastic and liberating moment whose symbolic import is every bit as relevant today as it was some 3,500 years ago. To discuss the merits of the offering out of this context would both be a mockery of Torah and would render even a detached study void of meaning.
The Temple offerings, (the Passover offering included), were all conducted in the open light of day. Each animal was slaughtered by a priest properly trained to uphold both the technical requirements as mentioned above, and to also direct his heart toward his Creator and the Creator of the animal under his charge. The Temple Priests were masters of compassion, whose function was to perform their tasks while bearing in mind always the awesome responsibility with which they were trusted: the responsibility of life and death.
It is odious even to compare the Temple offerings to the present state of affairs throughout the world in which millions of cows are slaughtered in massive factories and ground into hamburger each and every day of the week in order to slake the appetite of homo sapiens the world over. It is noteworthy, perhaps, that many strict vegetarians are among those who yearn to perform and participate in the Passover offering and the consuming of the meat as part of the Torah prescribed Seder requirement, simply for the reason that this is what G-d requires of them. There is no conflict between a humane attitude toward all living things, and fulfilling one's privileges and obligations as a Jew to his or her Creator.
Finally, any discussion of the Passover offering would be incomplete if the social/national aspect of the offering is not also contemplated. The Passover offering is an obligation that touches all men, women and children of the Jewish nation. Each individual offering was eaten by groups of as many as thirty people or more. The poor, as is well known from the Passover Hagaddah, were also included. The Passover offering had to be eaten in Jerusalem. To this end, local Jerusalemites threw open their doors and courtyards to accommodate their fellow Jews who came from afar to celebrate. One can only imagine the overwhelming sense of unity and family, on the national level, that enveloped the people. And all this is centered around and made possible through the vehicle of the Passover lamb. This does not cheapen the life of the lamb. On the contrary, one can only marvel at the enabling power vested in this creature of G-d, and be grateful to Him for the life transforming gift He has granted us through the performing of the Passover offering.
Ultimately, the Passover offering remains, as it was that first Passover in Egypt, an expression of profound faith in G-d. By attaching ourselves to G-d we come to realize that it is His will, and not ours, that determines what is right and what is wrong. It is this attachment, and the ability to fulfill His expectations of us that informs the Passover offering with the power to set free. The Jewish compassion for all living things is likewise informed by our relationship with G-d, and is not the product of an anthropocentric humanism.
Reuven, I won't pretend that I have turned you into an advocate for the renewal of the Passover offering by my words above, which, in any case only touch upon the surface of the subject of the Passover offering. But before you press ahead with your plans to call for the upcoming symposium to be prevented from taking place, please allow for the fact that we who long to perform G-d's command and make the Passover offering this year, like you, hold dear, and consider holy, the life of each and every one of G-d's living creatures.
May we soon sit in unity as a people around our Passover offerings, in the homes and courtyards of Jerusalem, in the glow of the Holy Temple.
The meat from the lamb that is to be slaughtered at the symposium, (for educational purposes, not an actual Passover offering), is to be distributed to needy families.
Mideast peace will not come at any price: Abbas APR 6,08
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas said on Sunday he would not accept a peace deal at any price a day before he was to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for the first time since February. We are negotiating seriously and we are striving to arrive at a solution for all the final status issues, but it will not come at any price, Abbas told a meeting of local officials in the West Bank city of Ramallah.Abbas and Olmert are due to meet on Monday at the premier's residence in Jerusalem in a bid to bolster recently revived peace talks, officials said.The Palestinians cut contacts with Israel at the beginning of March after an Israeli military operation in Gaza killed more than 130 Palestinians, but US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice convinced him to restore contact just days later.Since then, negotiating teams, including senior officials from both sides, have met on several occasions but the two leaders have not had face-to-face talks since February 19.Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said the two men would discuss a mutual ceasefire, the lifting of the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip and the implementation of the 2003 Middle East roadmap agreement.
Moves towards a peace have made little progress since being relaunched to great fanfare in the United States in November, with each side accusing the other of neglecting its obligations under an internationally-drafted peace blueprint.Israel has not implemented a single one of its obligations as specified in the roadmap. It has not halted the (growth of) settlements or freed prisoners or removed checkpoints, Erakat told AFP.An Israeli official told AFP that Olmert is looking forward to the renewal of talks.We want the Annapolis process to succeed and the meetings between the leaders will continue focusing on the crucial elements of the peace talks, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Israel reassures Syria, Lebanon over missile drill by Ron Bousso APR 6,08
JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sought to reassure Syria and Lebanon on Sunday that the Jewish state was not looking to exacerbate tension along its northern border at the outset of a major missile attack exercise. The five-day nationwide exercise, simulating air and missile attacks on cities throughout the country -- including by non-conventional weapons -- began on Sunday, the army said.The goal of the exercise is to check the authorities' ability to carry out their duties in time of emergency and for preparing the home front for different scenarios, Olmert said at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting.There is nothing else hidden behind it. All the reports on tension in the north can be moderated and cooled down. We have no secret plans, he added.
Over the next few days emergency sirens will be sounded across the country and schoolchildren will practise entering shelters and protected spaces in the event of an attack by chemical or biological weapons.The emergency services will also, for the first time, broadcast tutorial videos on television explaining how to act during an attack.Olmert said he will also convene the security cabinet to simulate the process of decision-making in war time, as part of the lessons drawn from the 2006 war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.The prime minister and his staff will also practise working from an underground bomb shelter at the premier's Jerusalem office.
The planned exercise comes after local media last week reported heightened tensions along Israel's heavily-guarded border with Syria and just days after Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora put his armed forces on alert.Siniora also asked UN peacekeepers tasked with monitoring the border, to be careful that Israel will not use the manoeuvres to launch operations capable of increasing tension, a statement from his office said.Israel has repeatedly said the drills are purely aimed at preparing emergency services and civilians to respond to an attack.As far as I know the Syrians know this and there is no need to give the exercise a different interpretation, Olmert said.We are interested in negotiations for peace with the Syrians. They know exactly what our expectations are, we know their expectations, and if the circumstances allow this, that is where we would like to head, Olmert said.The last round of negotiations between the two neighbours, technically at war since 1948, broke down in 2000 over disagreements over the strategic Golan Heights plateau, which Israel seized in the 1967 war and annexed in 1981.
Israel's Defence Minister Ehud Barak earlier said that the northern front is particularly volatile, but we don't want any degradation and the other side knows it and we also think that the other side doesn't want a degradation.He added, however, that Israel was ready to confront any development.Barak said the exercises were primarily aimed at learning lessons from the war with Lebanon in 2006, during which more than 4,000 rockets fired by the Hezbollah militia slammed into northern Israel.An official investigation into the war harshly criticised Israel's military and political leadership for failing to protect civilians during the 34-day conflict.
Al Aqsa militants break out of West Bank prison Sat Apr 5, 5:54 AM ET
NABLUS, West Bank (AFP) - Twelve Palestinian militants escaped from a Palestinian-run prison in the northern West Bank city of Nablus overnight, Palestinian security officials said on Saturday. The detainees, members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed group loosely tied to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah party, were wanted by the Israeli army, the officials said.They had been detained in the Jneid prison under a July 2007 agreement with Israel that allows militants to surrender their weapons and serve a three-month period of detention in exchange for amnesty.We left the prison because of the aggression on the part of masked members of the national security forces against the detainees. There were scuffles and then we left, one of the detainees, Mahdi Abu Ghazaleh, told AFP.We gave up our weapons according to an agreement but we received nothing in return, he added.They told us if you give up your weapons and spend three months in jail, there will be an amnesty and the Israeli army will stop its operations in Nablus but nothing happened.Nablus governor Jamal al-Muhaisen urged the men to return to prison, saying their lives were in danger.They are out of prison now and their lives are in danger because of the Israelis. If they want to come back they are welcome but we won't let them move freely or carry weapons, Muhaisen told AFP.Fourteen members of the same militant group escaped from the prison on February 21 before turning themselves in the following day. They said the breakout was in protest at prison conditions and an Israeli decision to extend their detention from three months to six.
The once restive city of Nablus, which saw heavy fighting during the latest Palestinian uprising, is now the focus of a mounting security crackdown by Palestinian authorities as part of revived peace talks with Israel.In November, Abbas dispatched hundreds of police reinforcements to the city to rein in criminal gangs and armed factions, and late last month Israel approved the extension of the crackdown to the nearby city of Jenin.At the relaunch of peace talks at an international conference in the United States in November, the Palestinians undertook to improve security and Israel to freeze settlement activity.
Canada foreign minister condemns attack on group in Israel Fri Apr 4, 5:49 PM ET
OTTAWA (AFP) - Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier on Friday blasted a sniper attack on Canadian civilians visiting a town in southern Israel said to be under constant threat of rocket fire from Gaza. The Canada-Israel Committee delegation was in Sderot to familiarize themselves with goings-on in the region when an unidentified shooter fired at them, Bernier said.An Israeli security official was wounded in the attack, he said.Canada strongly condemns today's attack on a delegation visiting an observation point near Sderot, Bernier said in a statement.These attacks targeting civilians are unacceptable, and I wish a full recovery to Mati Gill, the bureau chief of the Israeli Public Safety Minister, who was wounded in the attack.Israel's army said an Israeli civilian also suffered a minor gunshot wound in the attack.
New global push sought to scrap chemical weapons Fri Apr 4, 7:43 AM ET
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Nations including Syria, Iraq and Israel should join a landmark pact for destroying stockpiles of chemical weapons as they serve hardly any security or strategic purpose, a watchdog agency said on Friday. Rogelio Pfirter, director-general at the Hague-based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), made the appeal ahead of a review conference next week.So far 183 countries have ratified the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention banning the use, development, production, stockpiling and transfer of chemical weapons but the OPCW wants more states to join up.Chemical weapons basically terrorize civilians, they are of relatively little security or strategic use these days, Pfirter told Reuters in an interview.It is hard to see how these weapons can make any contribution to peace, he said.
Israel, Myanmar, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Guinea-Bissau have signed up to the treaty but have not ratified it, the watchdog said. Iraq, Syria, Egypt, North Korea, Somalia, Lebanon and Angola have shunned it.Regional conflict and internal problems are among the major obstacles to these countries becoming members to the convention, said Pfirter.We hope these countries, irrespective of the fact they have a crisis there, will realize they should join, he said.He said officials from some of those countries will attend next week's review conference.We take it as a very good sign of continued interest in the convention.Since it signed up to the treaty, Russia has destroyed nearly a quarter of its stockpile and the United States close to 50 percent. The two countries have an extended 2012 deadline to destroy the rest of their stockpiles.
Asked if the two countries can meet their deadline, Pfirter said: At this stage, it would be very premature to speculate one way or other. One should continue to expect they will do anything possible to continue destruction of their stockpiles.Libya, a signatory to the pact since 2004 after it started emerging from international isolation by agreeing to halt its weapons programs, is expected to destroy its entire stockpile by 2011.(Reporting by Foo Yun Chee)
