Prayer for Serenity, Courage, Wisdom (and in Hebrew)

The Serenity Prayer in Hebrew Patiently Explained

Lindsay asks how the serenity prayer goes in Hebrew. I found a version here. There are some minor details in that version that strike me as a bit odd, but in general I adhere to its diction, and I do not depart from its wording:

אלי תן־לי ת'שלוה

לקבל ת'דברים

שאין ביכולתי לשנותם

ת'אומץ לשנות ת'דברים

אשר ביכולתי

ואת התבונה להבחין

בין השניים

My God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things

not in my power to change,

the courage to change

the things I can,

and the discernment to distinguish

between the two.

 In modern Hebrew, a phrase like את השלוה can, and often does, become ת'שלוה. Here are a few notes for those who come to this prayer with a background in biblical Hebrew only:

יְכֹלֶת         ability ביכולתו within his power, he is able   

הבחין = הבדיל

השניים = שניהם

Here is a "normalized" version, with vocalization:

אֵלִי תֶּן־לִי אֶת־הַשַּׁלְוָה

לְקַבֵּל אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים

שְׁאֵין בִּיכוֹלְתִּי לְשַׁנּוֹתָם

 
אוֹמֶץ לְשַׁנּוֹת אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים

אֲשֶׁר בִּיכוֹלְתִּי

 
וְאֶת הַתְּבוּנָה לְהַבְחִין

בֵּין הַשְּׁנַיִים

Eli, ten li et hashalva

lekabel et hadevarim
sh'ein biycholti leshanotam,

ometz leshanot et hadevarim
asher biycholti,

weet hatevuna lehavchin
ben hashnayim.

Ya'akov "Kobi" Shimoni (יעקב "קובי" שמעוני), an Israeli rapper, revised the prayer and made it the basis of a smash hit entitled “Hope” (תקווה). He is better known as Subliminal (סאבלימינל). Go here for audio samples of his rapping. Here is Subliminal’s revision:

אלוהים, תן לי ת'תקווה

לקבל מה שאין

תן לי את הכח

לשנות את מה שכן

תן לי את האומץ

לנסות לתקן את העולם

God, grant me the hope

to accept what is not yet.

Grant me the strength

to change what is.

Grant me the courage

to try to mend the world.

Media Seizes on Lewandowski Non-Issue Instead Of Going After Real Issue, Hillary - GOP Must Band Together

Media Seizes on Lewandowski Non -Issue Instead Of Going After Real Issue in Potential Hillary Treason, GOP Must Band Together

We learn from  correspondent Jerome Corsi today that the man who brought the bogus arrest of Lewandowski,     Dave Aronberg, turns out to be a Hillary Clinton 'operative.' For anyone who saw the video of the incident in which an outspoken female reporter claims she was manhandled by Donald Trump's campaign manager, there is little if anything to the story, yet it continues to be headline fodder on mainstream media almost a week after it happened. Real issues such as an impending REAL  criminal indictment of leading Democratic candidate Clinton are all but ignored by the media in a continuing effort to knock Trump out of the GOP presidential race.  Unlike the Democratic party, where most walk lockstep behind Hillary -with Bernie a mere ruse to prop up Hillary- the GOP has seen a real race for President, beginning with 17 candidates now whittled down to three. 

 
So, the Republican race has seen its share of mudslinging within the party - not totally unusual in political races - the GOP has presented strong candidates, say what you will, unlike the two Democrat candidates who have relied on socialistic views (Sanders) and criticizing the Republican party as the centerpiece of a platform that has no REAL good substance to back  it. After all, Clinton's track record is better known for its many scandals and mistakes than any positives; the low Democratic turnout in the primaries, as compared to that of the GOP, is indicative of this.

Distention within the party is not necessarily a bad thing unless it spirals out of control. The candidates and GOP 'dividers' need to start re-channeling their efforts and go after the REAL opponents, Hillary and Bernie, while realizing the current candidates, if flawed are still far superior to what the Democrats have to offer. While Hillary and Bernie are spending their calculated time    going after the GOP it's time for the GOP to stop the in-fighting and start campaigning against the real opponent. 

Furthermore, supporters of leading GOP candidates Trump and Ted Cruz, should realize the positives of the two candidates and be willing to support either one - OR BOTH!  Trump has brought thousands of Americans unhappy with the current Obama administration into the GOP. Cruz is a true conservative in the Reagan tradition, well versed on constitutionalism. Either is a stronger GOP candidate than 'elite'  Mitt Romney or John McCain, who 'blew' that last two presidential elections against the weak Obama.

The self-supporting Trump has not had to take bribes from 'pacs' and  has come out with strong, noteworthy, non-'PC'  opinions that many agree with but have been afraid to bring up , themselves, as party insiders afraid of losing their 'cache.'  Cruz is the one party member who HAS gone against the grain, losing favor with many of his 'mainstream' fellow GOP senators. That's why so many have taken to these two candidates. 



If , somehow, the mudslinging subsides and the two leading candidates could become 'one' again,  a 'Trump-Cruz' ticket could be awesome while socialist Sanders is an impossibility and Hillary could be indicted any day.. Short of that, either Trump or Cruz  should be looked upon as more than acceptable candidates. No, we don't care for the personal remarks made by Trump, but one must look at the positives. Just the media attention he is able to generate for the GOP- much more than that of the supposed media darling, Hillary- is worth its weight in gold. For every negative there are more positives and indications are that Trump would move away from the negatives as he gets closer to the big election and potential Presidency.

Romney Sour Grapes - DO WHAT WE SAY, NOT WHAT WE DO

Romney Sour Grapes - DO WHAT WE SAY, NOT WHAT WE DO 

-Romney / GOP have  no place to go after Trump.

 He lost 2012 for NOT speaking out against Obama and the Democrats and ONLY NOW is he speaking out and AGAINST HIS OWN PARTY!. Call him Sour Grapes Romney, no doubt frustrated or more like it PISSED OFF that he tried to play Mr. Nice Guy against Obama by not bringing up Benghazi evidence after it just came out late 2012.
Here he's blaming Trump for things Romney failed to do, including not turning over HIS tax returns (until the last minute). Basically, Romney is an making a great endorsement for Trump.

Angry Politics Mere Reflection of Culture

Angry Politics Mere Reflection of Culture

Donald Trump-king of the political soundbites and  noted twitter

Love him or not, RUSH LIMBAUGH has been around awhile and makes some good, unbiased points that have little to do with taking sides. In trying to explain away what seems to be an especially hostile election atmosphere, Limbaugh drew a parallel to late night TV... He noted that the new Late Night with Steven Colbert show is having real ratings problems while Jimmy Fallon of the Tonight Show is doing well. It's not necessarily that the Fallon show is any better than Colbert - we, personally, never saw any extended humor or quality content in the former - and it has nothing to do do with the actual viewership of the show but, rather, how many tweets and/or likes that are generated. Fallon's show is set up on short bits, playing right into the hands of the Twitterers and Youtubers.  It's no wonder we don't see much in the way of extended interviews anymore. Everything's a 30-second soundbite with social media carrying it forth.  Johnny Carson  would never have good ratings today doing what his top-rated show did in the Seventies and Eighties. It's a different world, notes Limbaugh, and   one must adapt if one wants to have a successful show -ratings-wise that is -or win in politics. Fortunately, audiences that are tied into the latest trends, there's always cable with its 57 +channels and, yes, some good material, albeit not necessarily highly rated. But, again, to be successful, e.g. high ratings, one must follow the new line -whether you like (say, twitter) or not. No longer is quality and content necessarily tied to success. And, when it comes to politics and the Presidential election it's not longer necessarily who's really the best qualified but who is best at generating the most  'soundbites,' i.e. social media. How else would a neophyte senator like Barrack Obama beat out much more 'qualified'  people like Mitt Romney or even Hillary Clinton for the Presidency?  How is a businessman with no political experience like Donald Trump continuing to lead the polls despite saying the most outlandish things?  Because they know how to get the media attention.  Even with 'high negatives' someone like Trump can out-poll a seemingly better, more qualified  candidate (on paper) like a Rubio or Cruz. The whole, mean-spirited nature of not only poliltics but culture, in general, probably goes back even before social media, perhaps even to the assassination of President Kennedy, but, no doubt social media has accelerated the angry culture.  Polite, upstanding citizens like a Ben Carson, qualified or not, don't have a chance today. Yes, it's a different world, politics or otherwise. Like it or not....
