Rabbi Mizrachi – Parshas Vayigash: Critical Moral Discussion

If you value your neshoma and want a place in the world to come, receive mussar:


Very interesting. In addition to the mussar interspersed with the parsha, the Rabbi speaks about land ownership, public space, easements, eminent domain, lost object in a Jewish neighborhood and/or a public area. [but the mussar is the best part]

This is interesting because of what is happening in So Africa, and especially in the Jordan Valley.
According the Torah and secular law, one can squat on land (and plant something) and if no one objects, after a number of years, one can fully own the land. Even if it is someone else’s property, and people walk thru his property, creating a path, without the owner objecting (or posting a No Trespassing sign), after a period of time it becomes public space and the owner cannot do anything about it.

In the Jordan Valley, this is taking place:

PALESTINIANS: “Settlement plan to link center of Israel with the Palestinian Jordan Valley: In its latest weekly report about Israeli settlements activities in the occupied West Bank including Jerusalem the National Bureau for the Defense of Land said that the Israeli Government and its extremist parties’ maneuvers continue to control the Palestinian land, as Eli Ben-Dahan of the Jewish House Party is trying to pass laws in the Knesset to impose them on the West Bank in preparation for the annexation of large areas of land.” Palestinian News Network

"According to data collected by the Palestinian ministry, the space on which the trees were planted amounts to some 975,000 dunams (241,000 acres) on which 14.7 million olive trees have been planted, 11.9 million of which bear fruit," the report said.

In South Africa, this is taking place:
