Rescue
me, please, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him
lest he come and kill us all, mother and children alike…. Jacob went to
Sukkot…. Esau was the ancestor the
Edomites. (Genesis 32:12,17,43)
Remember
what [the Edomite tribe] Amalek did to you on your way out of Egypt. When they encountered you on the way and
struck those of you who were weak and lagging behind when you were weary and
exhausted.
(Deuteronomy 25:17,18)
The spirit of Amalek rises up in every generation to murder Jews because they are Jews from the time of the Exodus to the Persian Haman.
Arising once
more in Persia today as Iran develops nuclear weapons to wipe Israel off
the map.
Germany is
promoting a second Holocaust by doing billions of dollars’ worth of business
with Iran despite international sanctions.
The week of Vayishlah,
Mel was keynote speaker at a symposium on Postdigital Narrative Art at
Germany's ZKM Center for Art and Media.
Mel's
presentation focusing on this blog was presented in a huge building that was
formerly Hitler's torpedo factory in Karlsruhe.
In the
1200's, Munich's Jews were herded into the synagogue and burnt to death. In the 1700's, Munich authorities made it
illegal to build a sukkah.

'83, Mel built a sukkah at the entrance to the BMW Museum in Munich that was
attacked by a neo-Nazi motorcycle gang.
Although
they failed to destroy the sukkah, they smashed the table holding earth from
Israel that had cast its shadow on the sukkah floor.
The
scattered earth was swept up. Mel spread
it on the grass at the site of Hitler's death camp in Dachau.
He wrote
from multiple viewpoints the word sukkah with Hebrew letters constructed from
rebar rods discarded at a building site.
