Misuses Absolved MY DEAR FRIENDS, from the lips of our great Teacher Moses there issued words which, if soaked for a little time in the subtle solvent of rumination, will yield a precipitation at once enigmatical and phenomenal. Here are the words to which I allude: ɪɥɮɫ ɩɮ ɬɠɸɹɩ ɪɩɸɹɠ “Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee?” (Deuteronomy 33:29a) The twin substances of that sentence precipitated by our rumination are arresting indeed — HAPPY! UNIQUE! Israel happy and unique! As these words strike our ears how manifold, how varied, in what poles of contrast, will be the reactions they produce! History, draped in his multi-colored garments woven with the threads of millenia, rises from the seat of scrutiny and testifies abundantly to the latter feature ɪɥɮɫ ɩɮ, “Who is like unto thee, O Israel?” Truly, uniqueness is embossed indelibly upon Israel with the Divine ink of revelation and the pressure of God’s hand in history. That Israel is unique is indubitable; but the

secret of this lineament is to be discovered in the uniqueness of Israel’s God, of Whom, happily enough, the same expression is recorded in ɹɮɧ at Exodus 9:14 where the Eternal again through the lips of His servant Moses, declares to the presumptuous Pharoah of Egypt that the judgements being brought upon him were: ɵɸɠɤɚɬɫɡ ɩɰɮɫ ɯɩɠ ɩɫ ɲɣɺ:

“... that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.” (Exodus 9:14b) My friends, the uniqueness that inheres in the God of Israel is a refreshing uniqueness, a satisfying uniqueness, a consoling uniqueness. How can I best share with you my own feelings which caused me to express the quality of God’s uniqueness in the terms I have just employed? Let me make the effort by an unusual, if not unique, process. It is notorious that many avoid the reading of Leviticus, advancing a variety of excuses for the neglect. Some allege it is tedious or — as they say — “heavy going,” some that it is uninteresting, others that it is not easy to grasp.

May I invite you to undertake an experiment which, I suggest, will transform these viewpoints and reset the legal enactments of Leviticus upon a sublime throne of enchantment and rich enlightenment? Just read chapters 11 through 20 as being a God-granted reflection of Deity. With reverent fingers, lift each precious jewel of legal enactment up to the face of God and behold the splendid facets of Deity sparkling in colorful purity from each gem. Consider, too — and don’t miss this point — the age and circumstances in which these and other laws were granted by the Unique God to the Unique People. Out of an age of pagan darkness, defilement, disease and degradation the Levitical laws rise like a pure-crested Matterhorn of shimmering dignity. Two Hebrew words dominate the theme and designate its Divine Author. ɠɮɨ and ɸɤɨ are like two lightning flashes from the heavens stabbing the darkness of human depravity and lighting up the landscape to guide mankind to the ultimate haven of soul-rest.

The impure ɠɮɨ and the pure ɸɤɨ, are these twin flashes. In chapter 11 they flash forth to illumine Israel’s food selections. It is ironical that modern man thoughtlessly points to modern progress by referring to the many Pure Food Acts which adorn the jurisprudence of modern civilization. But here is a Pure Foods Act nearly four thousand years old! (Wellhausen to boot! And the harder the boot, the better!) Chapters 12, 13 and 14 flash their cleansing beams upon our bodies, our garments, and our domiciles, granting the invaluable health preservatives of quarantine, sanitation, and hygiene to sweeten man and his environment with their wholesome enactments. But — you say — quarantine, sanitation and hygiene are modern terms. I know it. But the Unique People got them in substance from our Unique God thousands of years ago and enjoyed their bounteous beneficences. Chapter 15 deals with defilements of a more intimate character and again anticipates modern prophylactic provisions by millenia. Now with this kind key in your possession read on through chapters 18 and 20 and,

behold, the illuminating flashes expose the destroying practices of the pagan nations revealing the perils of spiritualism and similar dangerous devices. In this section of Scripture we hear the Unique Being saying to the Unique People: ɭɩɮɲɤɚɯɮ ɭɫɺɠ ɩɺɬɣɡɤɚɸɹɠ ɭɫɩɤɬɠ ɤɥɤɩ ɩɰɠ “I am the Eternal your God(s), Who have set you apart from the peoples.“ (Leviticus 20:24) Surely, dear friends, we have already hint enough to discern the possibilities of the Hebrew Scripture with which I began this message. Israel is undoubtedly unique; but — happy? The Scripture says ɬɠɸɹɩ ɪɩɸɹɠ; — and note that the Hebrew word is in the plural — “happinesses.” Has happiness been the hallmark of the Jewish people as a national characteristic down the ages? Would God that it were so! Of course, I must add, has happiness been the characteristic of any nation down the ages? Yet, surely, Israel’s bitter draught has been a deep one. Israel’s uniqueness is not only in his relationship to the Unique Being but also lies embedded firmly in human history in settings of sorrow.

That Israel is unique is indubitable. That he will yet be happy is prophetical. This latter feature, jewelled and shining, blazes the light of hope from its golden settings of God-given promise. O Israel, take courage! Look to the rapidly approaching horizons of Tenach prophecy and see them aglow with the prospects of Divinegranted happinesses! Strengthen your hearts to advance through the immediate gloom for, surely, Destination Happiness is ahead! Israel is unique; Israel will yet be happy. And the clue is found in the same verse: ɤɥɤɩɡ ɲɹɥɰ ɭɲ ɪɥɮɫ ɩɮ ɬɠɸɹɩ ɪɩɸɹɠ ... “Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee? A People saved by the Eternal . . . “ (Deuteronomy 33:29) As Rabbi Sforno well says — and here I quote him on this Scripture: Israel’s salvation will not be secured by might of arms but by Divine aid. So, too, says the Tanna, Joseph ben Hanania, and again I quote: The Jews will be redeemed by Divine grace, not by merit. (T: Sanhedrin, 97b) Do you inquire “How?” and “When?” or do those of you who follow me the more carefully propound a prior question – why, in my earlier enunciation of chapters, did I

omit reference to chapters 16 and 17? Or have you not observed the omission? It was intentional. Chapter 16 is so portentous that it demands and shall have a separate message, for it deals with ɭɩɸɥɴɫɤ ɭɥɩ — the Day of Atonements. Chapter 17 is also of consequence for it deals with the Altar. And if the “How?” and “When?” of Israel’s redemption is still echoing in our minds, these two chapters will supply a clue and the human author of them, again our teacher Moses, provides an additional prophetic pointer using, interestingly enough, yet another ɩɰɮɫ, “like unto me,” for in Deuteronomy, chapter 18, he refers to a Promised Prophet raised up by Israel’s God and says he will be ɩɰɮɫ — “like unto me.” Who is like unto God? None! He is unique in purity, and Leviticus teaches that He can only be approached by means of His appointed sacrifice. Who is like unto Israel? None! He is unique in becoming God’s channel to show the world that man in his activities as full of pollution which must be cleansed. Who is like unto Moses? One! And Moses himself says so. And this One is unique for His atoning work is symbolically set forth by the enactments of chapter 16 and the special place of His sacrifice is five times symbolically

indicated by the altar of chapter 17, granting us the third revelation that man’s acts of sin issue from a sinful disposition for which supreme atonement must be made. And it has been made! The One like Moses is the Messiah-Redeemer of Israel Whose death, burial and resurrection are the crowning fact of history. Let me quote Franz Werfel in conclusion: Believe not thy foes when they say they art forsaken like a useless slave, an old outworn servant who is summarily driven out of the house. Do not believe it, Israel! Between thy God and thee there is an unsettled reckoning that will one day be settled in thy favour, when grace will have struck the balance.

Straight Teeth

Without Wires

Jerusalem-based Aerodentis offers a high-tech alternative to clunky orthodontic braces, and you only wear it while you’re sleeping. Nobody wants to have metal bands and wires pulling on their teeth for a year or more, but everybody wants to have an appealing smile.

dental professional can track progress and compliance when the patient visits every few months, or adjust the treatment plan.

Israeli orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedic specialist Dr. Orit Nadav determined to find a way to deliver desired results without all the hardware. She and a team of 12 orthodontists, engineers, industrial designers and dental technicians spent eight years developing Aerodentis, a groundbreaking, high-tech alternative to braces for patients of any age.

Mimics body’s natural rhythm

Aerodentis earned the European CE Mark and has been on the market since January 2013. About 100 units have so far been sold to dental professionals in Israel, Switzerland and Spain. US Food and Drug Administration approval is expected within two years. Here’s how it works: The patient places the customized thermoplastic mold over the teeth, connects it to a portable bedside console and pushes a button to activate the unit, which is powered by a rechargeable battery. The console contains an air pump, pressure sensor and secure digital (SD) smart card programmed with the individual’s treatment regimen. Following the program, the control unit applies pulsating pneumatic force to reposition teeth gradually and comfortably via tiny silicon balloons inside the mouthpiece. The SD card records usage, so that the

“Orit understood from her research with orthopedists that the most efficient force is pulsating, rather than continuous,” explains Dror OrthoDesign Chief Executive Officer Michael Nadav, Orit’s husband. “In nature, everything is pulsating. The heart is a pulsating, not a constant, force. By mimicking the body’s natural rhythm, our device facilitates better blood circulation in the periodontal tissue between the root and jawbone, and prevents complications involved in constant pressure, such as infections and pain. And we need less time to move the teeth.” Nadav brought his expertise in electronics and product development to the medical device company he and his wife founded within the BioJerusalem hub to design, develop and manufacture pioneering orthodontic solutions. He showed ISRAEL21c around the Dror OrthoDesign office in the Har Hotzvim Industrial Park in northern Jerusalem. Every stage of the patented process uses cutting-edge technology, from the computer-assisted design (CAD) imaging software used to customize each appliance to the dental professional’s specifications, to the three-dimensional printer that spits it out (pardon the pun).

What orthodontists say Prof. Chung H. Kau, chairman of the department of orthodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s school of dentistry, is now starting the first US pilot trial with Aerodentis and hopes to gain FDA clearance to do a full clinical trial. “My unit here is interested in new technologies than can alter the landscape for orthodontia, finding ways to shorten the long treatment process,” Kau tells ISRAEL21c. “Aerodentis struck me as fascinating because it is totally unrelated to the system we currently use. It has the ability to control the amount of force used, and the treatment is dictated by the patient. The device is novel and at this time does only small movements, not major movements, but I think it’s exciting.” Wearing an appliance only at night isn’t just a cosmetic and comfort advantage over braces. Aerodentis users don’t have to worry about mouth abrasions from wire, don’t have to avoid chewing gum and other sticky foods, and can clean their teeth easily and thoroughly. Dr. Moshe Davidovitch of Tel Aviv University’s school of dentistry says Aerodentis is a welcome solution for patients who are motivated enough to wear the appliance for the requisite 10 hours per day.

Davidovitch, a US-trained orthodontist who returned to Israel following a fellowship at Harvard University, used Aerodentis to straighten some of his own teeth, and recommends it for appropriate patients. He tells ISRAEL21c that Aerodentis can straighten front teeth in the upper and lower jaw, but cannot correct the bite. About half of all orthodontic patients do not need bite correction. “You can’t use one appliance to fix every problem that exists. As long as you’re selective, you can achieve ideal success,” Davidovitch says. “The advantage of Aerodentis is that it uses very light forces in moving teeth, which is in line with the modern philosophy of orthodontics. It is biologically healthier and nicer for patients because nothing is bonded to the teeth.” Dror OrthoDesign is a privately held company chaired by Chaim Hurvitz, CEO of CHealth, a private venture capital firm.

THE DOCTRINE OF IMPUTED MERIT

MY DEAR FRIENDS, there is a rather quaint Yiddish proverb which goes something like this: “Don’t be too sweet, lest you be eaten up; don’t be too bitter, lest you be vomited out.” (I. Bernstein, Jüdische Sprichworter und Redensarten, Warsaw, 1908, #1470) Now, that may sound all right but it may taste somewhat insipid. How frequently one extreme pushes to the other extreme and the two become violent antagonists. Then, out of the battle or controversy arises some middle-of-the-road compromise between the two extremes and, taking a pinch of each to form a “neither one thing nor the other,” frequently fails to express or achieve either one thing or the other! Yet, is it not true that reality is found not so much in rejecting one extreme and embracing the other, not in snipping a bit off each and sewing them together with the thread of compromise, but rather in accepting the two extremes as valid? Such a union of extremes gives birth to an equally valid offspring and the outcome is a triunity both satisfying and understandable. Consider the concepts of individualism

10

The Vineyard

and collectivism so widely assumed to be antagonistic extremes. The former — individualism — advocates the liberty, rights, or independent action of the individual; the latter — collectivism — affirms the principle of control by the people collectively, or the state as allegedly representative of the people collectively. Then, from that vast but invisible factory where ideological labels are manufactured emerge the tags that touch off the tussle. When we turn to the Scriptures, however, we find that there is a valid and valuable individualism far too precious to be damaged by unwarranted proscription or conscription. Equally valid and valuable, however, is a collectivism far too important to be damaged by unilateral individualism. A heavenly marriage between individualism and collectivism gives birth to the kingdom of God on earth and within that kingdom there is both satisfaction and understanding. But, my friends, I hasten to add, be careful to note that the marriage must be performed by Heaven’s Throne and He Who sits upon that Throne must be the acknowledged King of that Kingdom.

In my last message — you will remember — bearing upon this aspect and buried beneath the actual history of the conquest of Canaan by Joshua, we unearthed two exceedingly interesting and very important doctrines. Upon the one I ventured to bestow the title “The Doctrine of Imposed Participation”; the other was already known as “The Doctrine of Collective Responsibility.” There is play and interplay within and between these two in all human history, and Israel’s experiences across the Jordan form an excellent illustration. Ten direct miles west of Jericho was the town of Ai, described by Dr. William F. Albright as “the most interesting town of the age which has yet been excavated ...” (The Archaeology of Palestine) Here had occurred Israel’s first battle west of the Jordan and the first defeat had resulted. The children of Israel “went up” to Ai as instructed, but the men of Ai “smote” and “chased” them and their hearts “melted, and became as water.” (Joshua 7:5) What was the reason for a defeat in a campaign initiated under Divine command?

The reason was God’s displeasure with an individual person within Israel. That person was Achan. The sin of Achan in plundering “a goodly Shinar mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight” (Joshua 7:21) had imposed upon all Israel participation in the Divine displeasure and also a collective responsibility to God for the sin committed. The Babylonian garment was probably a gorgeous robe patterned in brilliant colours and the silver and gold so purloined by Achan worth about $70 and $250 respectively. Not a very large haul for an individual, was it? But it proved very costly to Israel collectively for it involved the loss of thirty-six men (7:5) and the defeat of the nation. Although the sin of Achan was that of an individual, or perhaps of an individual family, it imposed upon all Israel its guilt. Let us pause for a moment right here, lest haste force from our hearts a premature judgement of unfairness in such principles of the Divine economy. There is a happy two-way traffic in these doctrines of Imposed Participation and Collective Responsibility and upon which is superimposed a third

June 2014

11


doctrine, the “Doctrine of Imputed Merit or Righteousness.” Just as one man’s disobedience and sin brought collective guilt and collective consequent participation in defeat and adversity, so God has declared from the very beginning that one man’s obedience and righteousness will bring collective consequent participation in victory and advantage. The disobedience and sin of the First Adam in Eden surely brought defeat and adversity upon all mankind, for humanity is consanguineous and has a common ancestry in Adam. It has been rather quaintly said that God could have created simultaneously two or more men at the beginning but he made only one Man so that we should learn that all men are brothers in the one human family. Although, obviously, this individual Achan initiated the scandal in Israel at the time of the crossing of the Jordan and thus imposed upon the people a collective participation and responsibility, the Biblical record would not preclude the assumption that the immediate family of Achan connived and were accessory to Achan’s sin (compare Joshua 7:24) with Deuteronomy 24:16), and thus shared in the ensuing execution. So it is with all Adam’s descendants. Disobedience and sin is characteristic of us

12

The Vineyard

all. Let us be frank about this. Surely we all have connived in disobedience to the Law of God and our very actions have made us all accessories to sin. If we wince, therefore, under the Doctrine of Collective Responsibility let us be frank to admit our inevitable shortcomings as individuals. There is an admitted discrepancy between the standard required in man by God and the standard actually reached in man, even in manhood’s fairest flower — oh, save just One. Yes, there is one exception, and that exception is the fairest flower of all. The One promised to the First Adam in Eden, the One Whom Scripture describes as the Last Adam. At the scene of the sin of the First Man in Eden, God gave the precious promise of a Second Man. A Second Man, a Last Adam, Whose attitude and activity towards sin and disobedience would bring an effective and eternal answer to the attitude and activity of the First Adam, the First Man. This Second Man, that Last Adam, is the gift of Grace, the gist of the Law, the gamut of the Prophets, the glad announcement of Israel’s New Covenant, and the glory of all who believe in Him. Who is He? He is the promised Messiah-Redeemer of Israel Whose obedience and righteousness is Divinely imputed to all individuals, whether

that individual be Jew or Gentile, who believe in Him and trust in His atoning death for their eternal individual salvation. So then as a single transgression led to condemnation for all mankind, so equally a single worthy action led to acquittal spelling out life for all mankind. Just as by one man’s disobedience the many were constituted sinners, so also by one man’s obedience the many are constituted righteous. (Romans 5:18) If we inquire why God adopts this Doctrine of Imputed Merit or Righteousness the answer again comes from Scripture: “For God has locked up all mankind in the prison of disobedience so as to have mercy upon them all.” (Romans 11:32) The relationship between individualism and collectivism as outworked in the Divine economy may, at first, seem rather strange to us, but when we discern behind it all the sweet blend of justice and mercy we cannot but be grateful that all His ways are perfect. Now let us return our thoughts to the Biblical Book of Joshua and the ultimate conquest of the city of Ai. God, having placed His finger on sin and by judgement and death having removed that barrier to blessing, the command to conquer Ai goes forth afresh and this time God Himself gives the detailed strategy for victory, the details of which you

may read for yourself in the eighth chapter of Joshua. An ambush was set into which fell both the men of Ai and those also of the neighbouring city of Bethel (8:17). The signal for victory was the javelin in the hand of Moses’ successor, General Joshua, Yeshua. In the wider sphere of universal human sin God, by judgement upon it and by the atoning death of Messiah, has removed that terrible barrier, and His strategy is detailed in the Messianic redemption, a proclamation made possible by the javelin in the side of Moses’ greater successor, the Messiah Yeshua, Whose resurrection points out for all mankind the God-bestowed way to eternal life and victory.

Israeli Mom’s Invention Gets Cerebral Palsy Kids Walking

the right place,” though first she insisted that Leckey launch an e-commerce platform for direct sales of products to make life easier for families of special-needs children. Firefly is that platform. Leckey tested the device on families in the United Kingdom and North America. Maura McCrystal of Northern Ireland, mother of five-year-old Jack, was one of the testers. She told The Daily Mail: “Last Sunday was a significant one for us as a family as it was the first time our son Jack was able to play football in the back garden with his dad, his brothers and our little dog Milly. To see Jack playing like any other five-year-old boy made me very emotional. Jack and his brothers so enjoyed it.’

Debby Elnatan’s Upsee, designed to help her own son walk tethered to an adult, could be the answer to many parents’ prayers for children with disabilities. A Jerusalem child named Rotem was the inspiration for an invention that allows mobility-challenged little ones to experience walking, while tethered to an adult. Rotem’s mother, musician Debby Elnatan, traveled to Ireland ahead of the April 7 launch of her Upsee product under the new Firefly brand of Irish company Leckey, and has been featured on ABC News, The Daily Mail, International Business Times and other media. On April 1, 2 and 3, therapists and parents from around the world are welcome to join a live-streamed discussion on the Firefly website on how to use this mobility innovation to help children with disabilities experience the benefits of walking. Elnatan tells ISRAEL21c that she began working on the device when her son, who has cerebral palsy, was two years old. He is now 19. The motivation was the advice of physiotherapists not to let little Rotem’s legs

remain useless, but to “walk” him regularly to strengthen them and increase his awareness of his limbs.

and by the end of a year he could go out for two hours with me. Before that, we could do only a few steps at a time.”

“I cried for about a week or two, and then I started to walk him,” she relates in a promotional video for the product, her voice cracking with emotion at the memory of that time. “It’s very hard to walk a two-year-old, because you’re down on your hands and knees on the floor. I thought there had to be a better way.”

Family-tested

After trying several different approaches, she designed a harness that attaches to a belt worn by an adult. The system includes specially engineered sandals to hold the adult’s and child’s feet so that they step in synch. The child is fully supported yet both pairs of hands are free. Once she put a prototype together, she began taking Rotem out to walk. The first few times his legs collapsed under him, Elnatan tells ISRAEL21c. “Gradually he built up his strength,

The nitty-gritty design details were worked out in cooperation with a team of product designers, engineers, textile experts and therapists at Leckey, a well-known brand of equipment for children with special needs. Elnatan explains that it took so many years for Upsee to be commercialized because she was busy raising Rotem and his older sibling, inventing all sorts of innovative gadgets, running music groups with her husband for people with special needs, and beginning a nonprofit called Full Family Rehabilitation with another mother of a special-needs child. When some Israeli relatives said they wanted to invest in her walking invention, she began contacting manufacturers. She handpicked Leckey as her retail partner “because it is a company with its heart in

Firefly’s clinical research manager and occupational therapist, Clare Canale, told the newspaper that the product improves special-needs family participation and quality of life in the short-term and also helps with physical and emotional development in the longer term. “It has been humbling to see the progress and happiness the Upsee is creating; watching children do simple things for the first time, such as kicking a ball or playing with a sibling, is wonderful for everyone involved, but especially the families.’ Elnatan reports that Rotem today “has a big smile on his face. He’s a beautiful and happy boy and I think having a good childhood gave him confidence and a good outlook.” Upsee costs about $540 plus shipping. For more information, see www.fireflyfriends.com.
