Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu Holds Fourth Bible Study
Benjamin & Sara Netanyahu
Host Bible Study in Jerusalem
9-18-13, Joel Rosenberg -- One of the most interesting, but
least known aspects in the life of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, is that he has developed quite an interest
in studying the Bible.
Netanyahu occasionally quotes the Bible in
major speeches (such as the time he spoke at Auschwitz and said
Ezekiel 37 had come to pass).
He once told Larry King that he likes to
study the Bible on Saturday mornings with his son, Avner.
Last year, he even started a Bible study with
various Jewish leaders and scholars that meets every few months
in his official residence, as I have noted in the past (see
here, here and here).
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister carved out two hours from a very
busy schedule to convene his Bible study group to study why the
Lord punished Moses by not allowing him to enter the Promised
Land.
From the Jerusalem Post:
Netanyahu puts Iran's nukes on hold, spends
a late afternoon discussing Moses
9-18-13, (Jerusalem, Israel) - Syria can wait, Iran is not going
anywhere. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu set aside two hours
Tuesday afternoon to discuss with a group of rabbis and scholars
why God did not let Moses pass over to the Promised Land.
"And Moses went up from the plains of Moav to the Mountain
of Nebo," Netanyahu read in his baritone voice from the last
chapter of Deuteronomy. "And the Lord showed him all the
land of Gil'ad, to Dan, and all Naftali, and the land of Ephraim
and Menashe and all the land of Yehuda, as far as the utmost
sea... I have caused thee to see it with thy eyes, but thou
shall not go over there."
Moses's punishment seemed so cruel, Netanyahu said to
those gathered, which included the two chief rabbis for
the first time since he initiated a periodic Bible study circle
in his home last year in memory of his father-in-law Shmuel
Ben-Artzi, a noted Bible teacher and enthusiast.
"Because he hit the rock he was not allowed into the land. What
is the logic behind that, it seems unjust?"
Netanyahu said that he has traveled all over the world, and has
always wanted to go to Mount Nebo on the east side of the
Jordan River. The occasion once presented itself, he said - not
saying when or under what circumstances - but he fell ill and
his wife and sons went in his stead. He said he still hopes to
make the visit someday; then he noted the irony:
"Moses could not enter the Promised Land, and we merit that
privilege
to be here in the land of our forefathers thanks to him and
thanks to the struggle of our people. And we bless every second.
It is a great privilege to read this great book and to
know that we are fulfilling what God commanded our people.
The fact that this is our inheritance and that we are here to
stay - in that way we are fulfilling the legacy."
The Prime Minister's Office, along with the Menachem Begin
Heritage Center organized the event, which is a reincarnation of
a tradition that David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin had also
hosted a regular Bible study circle.

At the first of PM Netanyahu's Bible Studies
December 10, 2011, he said:
"Ben-Gurion understood that the Book of Books is our mandate for
our country, as he said in that same unforgettable statement
before the Peel Commission in 1936. He viewed the Bible as the
wondrous story of the Jewish people, the unique spiritual,
cultural and historic heritage of our people, and also as one of
the cornerstones of all of human culture."
