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."
