Sami National Day on February 6th
In Norway on February 6th the Sami flag will hang proudly outside all official government buildings in recognition of Sami national day. The Sami, commonly referred to as Lapplanders in the past, first celebrated this day in 1993 as a union of the indigenous voices across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. The date is significant because it marks the first Sami national council meeting held in Trondheim, in 1917.

I-3 Lech Lecha: Go You
Lech Lecha opens "Go you" and is interpreted as go to yourself or go from yourself, but the imperative of journey is clear. Abraham is commanded to leave his land, birthplace and father's house to travel into the unknown. The history of the Jews is begun with the covenant established between Abraham and God with the promise that his descendents will be like the dust of the earth and as numerous as the stars in the heavens. And although we honor Abraham as the Father of Nations, he is dominated by Sarah's demands and jealousies. Sarah insists on Abraham having relations with Hagar since she is beyond child-bearing age. She understands the need for children to generate an inheritance; but when Hagar is pregnant and bears Ishmael, Sarah jealously drives her from the house. Hagar and her son are abandoned in the desert to die, but God intervenes, sparing her life and promising that her son Ishmael will also become a father of nations. The passage is read during the High Holidays, but frequently skipped over. Ishmael is cast in the villain's role while Sarah is extolled. Frequently in Biblical literature, pairs are put into opposing positions to contrast attributes to draw lessons: Jacob and Esau, Rachel and Leah. Not only Abraham leaves his land, birthplace and father's house; but also Hagar and not only Abraham experiences an encounter with God. Departures are difficult, particularly if to an unknown place. Leave the note for the milkman so the cats don't knock the bottles over on the stairs. Call the paperman, so the papers don't collect and mildew on the porch. Time runs out quickly for those packing, and for those caught in a midst of a storm--just grab a fwe things and evacuate.
