OPINION & COMMENT Terror is an approach that is very effective against a weak adversary. It is most successful when used against someone who reacts quickly, without careful thought, and from an overpowering and immediate desire to be saved from its ravages: Give the terrorist what he is asking for, and get on with life. However, it will never end there. Satisfying one demand of a terrorist will only lead to his making more and bigger demands. The Power of Character Traits: A Shmuess for Parshas
Chayei Soroh Between parshas Chayei Soroh and parshas Bo, (until the parsha, "this month is the beginning of the months for you"), each parshoh affords us contemplation of the behavior of tzaddikim and, conversely, of reshoim. This is all part of the principle that, "He told His people about the power of His deeds" (Tehillim 111:6), as explained in parshas Bereishis. In this parshoh, we witness the greatness of Avrohom Ovinu on the one hand, and the conduct of Efron on the other.
