From time to time, Steve Sherbel provides his insights as to how this week's Torah portion applies to backgmamon: This week's Torah portion: VAYISHLACH Yakov (Jacob) is preparing to do battle with Eisav. With devine inspiration, Yakov identifies the 3 stages of conflict: 1- Hope and prayer 2- Diplomacy 3- Only when the first two fail to resolve problems..., then go to war.
This definitely applies to Chouettes. 1- "Please let me roll a 5 off the bar to win the game and not be gammoned by this jerk. Just one time. Pleeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz 5555555555" 2- "Hmmmmmmmm I might not roll a 5 and it's a 4 cube; I offer to pay 4 points. You ask for 6 points. Settle for 5?" 3- "Paying 6 points is robbery, I'll roll the dice."
VAYISHLACH teaches us to: 1-Be humble. As another Torah Portion teaches: "You are all my children, but when you gamble you are on your own." 2-Be realistic. You may be cursed with my dice. 3-Stand up for what you think is right..., but don't steam.
Shalom, Steven |
