I am very pleased as a first time recipient of this article to get a really good answer to the problem of gambling. I do not do it but have wondered about how it got started. Shalom.

Thank you for putting the issue of gambling in persective. The importance of teaching people to work and not to count on gain from gambling is very important when so many companies offer gambling promotionals.

Amalek attacked the weakest people from behind. I think it is interesting that the name Amalek really means 'perchance'. The Lord our God has promised to supply ALL of our needs according to HIS riches in glory. Do we really need anything more? I think not.

An excellant article depicting the pitfalls of involving oneself in any kind of games of chance as being addictive.

I take a dim veiw of all gambling. The Talmud is correct, it is a form of thievery, and does little to promote the social good. Having lived halve a century, I can see that it does more harm then good. If nothing else it is usually wasted time.
