What a great website!

What has caught my eye is the commandments not to exclude the communities of Esau and the Egyptions from the Jewish community for 3 generations. I wonder what that means and how that can be applied to Israel in its current state with its neighbors and inhabitants living within the state and yesha. hmmm any commnets?

611 Always to remember what Amalek did (Deut. 25:17) (CCA76).
612 That the evil done to us by Amalek shall not be forgotten (Deut. 25:19) (CCN194).
613 To destroy the seed of Amalek (Deut. 25:19) (CCA77).

So what if the inhabitant of the land was Egyptian and Esauhide, but not a pursuer of Jewish blood like Amalek?

chaim answered this in the last askjtf program. He said that anyone who is a sworn enemy of Israel is Amalek. but listen to what chaim says before you listen to me.

If you read the Book of Esther in the Bible, you see that Haman was called the Agagite. Agag was the King of Amalek slain by the Prophet Samuel in Samuel 1. Obviously he had some descendants that moved all over the world including Persia, where Haman was. It is the Jewish beleif that when a person wishes to annihilate the Jewish people, that is proof positive of his Amalekite lineage.
