Horse implies mind reined by ten senses. King is the Soul riding the Horse. Human body is the country ruled by many kings - Ignorance, Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment, and Ego with their subsidiaries. Powerful King is one who overcomes all resistance, recovers entire bodily kingdom from opposing forces and sacrifices this Horse (Mind) at the eye centre to the Creative Power. There is no physical sacrifice.

There is a long history of Jewish artists creating illuminated manuscripts - sacred texts beautified and interpreted through images drawn on or around the texts. Before Purim 2013, Makom community members of all ages were invited to explore Megillat Esther (the scroll of Esther) and then paint their own figurative or abstract visual depiction of the theme or scene of their choice. The art was digitally scanned and the images projected ("illuminated") very large on the east wall of the Kiever Synagogue during the corresponding parts of megillah reading on Purim, creating our community’s own live- performance, illuminated megillah. We hope you enjoy this slideshow of Makom's Illuminated Megillah!

The following just needs at least 100 words
Part 1
Alexander the Great is a name that is not lightly given at a whim, this title is hard earned through ability to lead and rule.
I have listed pertinent information about this conqueror.
Below this I have included a partial list of some of "the Great" Kings of the time periods that we have covered or should be familiar to most students of history for comparison.
Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great, was a King of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty, an ancient Greek royal house.
Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to Egypt into northwest India and modern-day Pakistan.
He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders.
He became the measure against which military leaders compared themselves, and military academies throughout the world still teach his tactics. He is often ranked among the most influential people in human history, along with his teacher Aristotle.
Asia has seen thousands of kings and emperors over the past five thousand years, but fewer than thirty are usually honored with the title "the Great."
If I was asked to make a decision on his qualifications, yes, I would call Alexander, "The Great".
• Sargon the Great, ruled ca. 2270-2215 BCE
Sargon the Great founded the Akkadian Dynasty in Sumeria. He conquered a vast empire in the Middle East, including modern-day Iraq, Iran, Syria, as well as parts of Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula. His exploits may have been the model for the biblical figure known as Nimrod, said to have ruled from the city of Akkad.
• Yu the Great, r. ca. 2205-2107 BCE
Yu the Great is a legendary figure in Chinese history, the purported founder of the Xia Dynasty (2205-1675 BCE). Whether or not the Emperor Yu ever really existed, he is famous for teaching the people of China how to control raging rivers and prevent flood damage.
• Cyrus the Great, r. 559-530 BCE
Cyrus the Great was the founder of Persia's Achaemenid Dynasty, and conqueror of a vast empire from the borders of Egypt in the southwest to the edge of India in the east.
Cyrus was known not only as a military leader, however. He is renowned for his emphasis on human rights, tolerance of different religions and peoples, and his statecraft.
• Ashoka the Great, r. 273-232 BCE
The Mauryan Emperor of what is now India and Pakistan, Ashoka started life as a tyrant, but went on to become one of the most beloved and enlightened rulers of all time. A devout Buddhist, Ashoka made rules to protect not just the people of his empire, but all living things. H.

Alexander the Great is also widely known as Alexander III of Macedon. He was the successor of his father, Philip II, to the kingship of the Ancient Greek when he was twenty years old. Most of his time in ruling was spent on unprecedented military campaign through Northeast Africa and Asia. Alexander the Great always won in combat, and he is considered one the most triumphant military commanders in history. This paper discusses the accomplishments of Alexander the Great as one of the world’s greatest military leaders (Nawotka, 2012).
After his father’s death, Alexander assumed his leadership position at the tender age of twenty. He inherited an experienced army and a strong kingdom. He was determined to conquer his enemy and expand his territory. He overthrew kingdoms such as that of Persian King Darius III a win that saw his kingdom stretch to Indus River from the Adriatic Sea. Alexandria earned his authority by conquering his enemies in the battlefield. He founded many cities especially in Egypt some of which were named after his name. In India, he defeated a city and had it named after a horse (Nawotka, 2012). He upgraded his military and went ahead to discover trade routes to and in Asia. Eventually, Alexander had conquered half of all that was known as the world at that time.
In conclusion, Alexander the Great was a great military leader. In fact, he was one of the greatest military commanders ever to live. He took over and dominated many empires from Asia, Africa and Europe. Looking into Alexander the Great helps one understand the history in the light of the strategies leaders employed to make sure they won in battle and expanded their territories.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Power – Position – Egoism By Commander Selvam
In the world history, “ALEXANDER THE GREAT” was a very notable king of Greek.
His ambitions and hopes were always focused on expanding his power and regime by
covering almost all countries of Asia.
His troops and commanders were very large in numbers. The victories followed one after
another. All the routes and ways, up to India were known perfectly by his Commanders.
The annexing of the countries and enlarging his kingdom for several thousands miles
were done with great efforts. There was a stage when Alexander was capturing the
position of emperor of the world.
On his way, after reaching the Indian Territory, the great king happened to witness a
scene. There was a man, with long beard sitting under a tree and meditating who looked
just like a Fakir. Fakirs were the persons inland, like Afghanistan with long beard. As
Alexander went closer, wondered to see this man with no cloths. But, the king’s presence
was not noticed by that Fakir. Since Alexander crossed all the lands and met several
people, he just considered that man as Fakir. But, he was actually a sage who do penance,
which is an art of worshipping the Almighty by meditation. In those days the ‘sages’ did
such penance by closing eyes for months and years together. They needed no food and
they would continue their meditation in a fixed position for such prolonged periods.
2. Since the King was unnoticed and not shown any sign of respect, Alexander got very
angry. The sage did not even open his eyes as his concentration was on meditation. King
Alexander got wild and took his sword.
Oh! No! The king just cut the beard of the sage. But, there was no response from the
sage. The soldiers and commanders were also witnessing the event. King then turned
violent to kill the sage. The sharp edge of the sword was aimed to set in between the eye
brows of the sage.
Slowly the sage opened his eyes and began to speak. “Oh, King Alexander, I know you
are a valiant and a great warrior. Why should you interfere in my duties?”
Astonishingly, the King calmed down from his temper and asked the sage, “All the
people from all countries are welcoming and bow down their heads in respect. Why are
you, the only person to disobey the situation?”
Sage smiled and told “Only for the Almighty, the God, I use to bow and pray. Even
though you are a king, you are just a man like me. So, I need no commitment to bow”.
Sage added further “Your days are counted, when you go back to home after these
victories, the death will occur. Bear it in your mind”.
King did not want to continue any conversation with the sage and went on to attend his
duty. Later, Alexander won several other battles and was returning to his country. In
the midway he fell ill and was suffering. The circumstance was very crucial and helpless.
He was not able to get any good medicines. King then called the commander-in-chief and
explained to him. “Commander, the man I thought was fakir, whom I spoke in India; I
think he is more than a Sage. Do you remember the incident?”
“Yes my lord!! It was like a miracle on that day” replied the Commander. “Indians are
actually very skilled. We under estimated their efficiencies of good men. Now, I feel that
day has come to me.” King cried.
3. “No your lordship, you will live a long life” a reply came. The deeply sorrowed King
with no energy said, “My savings, wealth, all gold, lands and diamonds, which are
secured through the war, nothing could now be helpful as suitable as medicine for me”.
The great King, who conquered most of the world, died and left this world. The Sage’s
words came true. His experience is a great example for all of us to realize that power,
position and ego exercised against the nature, can sabotage anybody’s life and
consciousness in a negative way.
