It's the most iconic place to commemorate the last days of Jesus' life which he spent in Jerusalem. The central days of the Holy Week are Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and the culmination falls on Easter Sunday. Jerusalem hosts a Holy Week for both Catholic and Orthodox communities. The celebrations are quite similar, however, there are differences in rituals as well as dates.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The official beginning of the celebration falls on Palm Sunday on the respective date for each denomination—the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey and was hailed with palm leaves. This triumphant entry to the city is reenacted in the afternoon after the morning Mass. Thousands take part in the palm procession to the Mount of Olives. Typically, the procession route passes by the Church of All Nations, Saint Anne Church, St. Steven’s Gate, also known as the Lions Gate, the Old City, and the Via Dolorosa. On the way, pilgrims pray and sing religious songs in all languages.

Unlike the two Temples that were sacked and destroyed, Moses' Tabernacle remained intact and was never captured or desecrated. The four reasons for this are alluded to in the first two verses: (a) It was the Tabernacle of Testimony, where the Tablets, the symbols of God's communion with Israel, were deposited; (b) it was built at Moses' bidding, thus benefiting from his personal majesty; (c) the service of the Levites [who had proven their greatness by their loyal response to Moses after the catastrophe of the Golden Calf] and all the components of the Tabernacle were under the charge of Issamar, a man of great stature; and (d) those who led the work, as represented by Bezalel, were men of distinguished lineage and outstanding righteousness. Because of all these factors, <i>Sforno</i> explains, the Tabernacle was impervious to time and enemies. Solomon's Temple, by contrast, was built [in great measure] by non-Jewish workmen. Consequently, although the <i>Shechinah</i> rested upon it, its parts became worn with time </span><span style="font-family: arial;">and required repair and replacement. The Second Temple was built only thanks to the benevolence of King Cyrus, and it never had the Tablets or the <i>Shechinah</i>. Both Temples fell into enemy hands, were looted, and destroyed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He comments further that compared to the gold and silver that were used in the Temples of Solomon and Herod, the amounts listed [in the <i>parashah</i>] are insignificant. Nevertheless, the Tabernacle surpassed both Temples in holiness.... This proves that God rests His Presence not where there is wealth, but where there is righteousness.</span></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><i>~ SHABBAT SHALOM ~</i></span></p>Devorah Chayahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03625277197970920616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-90202735461979606382024-03-14T12:12:00.007+02:002024-03-14T19:34:30.943+02:00Living on Borrowed Time<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>4 Adar Bet 5784 </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">American <i>chutzpah </i>has reached to the highest heavens: </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">...The wickedness of your heart enticed you, who dwell in the clefts of the rock, <u>whose habitation is high</u>, who says to himself, "Who will bring me down to the earth?"

Schumer, the first Jewish majority leader in the Senate and the highest-ranking Jewish official in the U.S., strongly criticized Netanyahu in a 40-minute speech Thursday morning on the Senate floor. <b><u>Schumer said the prime minister has put himself in a coalition of far-right extremists and "as a result, he has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to historic lows."</u></b> Schumer has so far positioned himself as a strong ally of the Israeli government, visiting the country just days after the brutal Oct. 7 attack by Hamas and giving a lengthy speech on the Senate floor in December decrying "brazen and widespread antisemitism the likes of which we haven't seen in generations in this country, if ever." Schumer says the United States cannot dictate the outcome of an election in Israel, but "a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel, at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government."

Hamas cannot continue to control Gaza from where it terrorizes both Israel and Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority must cast off Mahmoud Abbas’s sclerotic and corrupt regime to find credible leadership.

NBC News recently reported, “After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants … the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action,....sharpen the divide between [Netanyahu] and military commanders.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Biden administration also could increase consultation with and lift up the voices of opposition figures, hostage families and protesters (engaging in publicly announced meetings with them, for instance) to emphasize that the United States stands foursquare behind efforts to bring fighting to an end, obtain return of the hostages, prevent Israeli “resettlement” of Gaza and support regional peace efforts by Israel’s neighbors. And, conversely, the administration could step up criticism of the racist rhetoric from Netanyahu’s coalition partners and decline to block any Security Council resolutions condemning such remarks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To be clear, Israel is a democratic country.

If a gentile keeps the seven laws in totality, but does so solely because he thinks/feels they are wise and beneficial is not considered a righteous gentile. Only if he keeps these laws because he acknowledges that they originate with, and are commanded to him by, the Creator is he considered "righteous" and worthy of merit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These seven laws are mankind's minimal obligation to their Creator. If a gentile feels the draw towards a higher level of observance and closeness to his Creator, he can convert and become a Jew with all the obligations right alongside all the privileges. These are the only two choices available to individual gentiles, aside from the free will choice to reject his Creator and go the way of all the wicked.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I recently heard the following statement: "The whole role of a Jew is to be a light to the nations." To that, I would say, "No, the whole role of a Jew is to serve <i>HKB"H</i> by learning His Torah and fulfilling His <i>mitzvot</i>." This idea that Jews are here to spread the Gospel of Torah to the nations of the world is a heresy assimilated out of Christian culture. It is an idea that appeals to many Jews (and gentiles) because the <i>Yetzer HaRa</i> would rather see Jews thus occupied rather then doing the job they were assigned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For further elucidation on this subject, please continue on with two reposted articles from 2011 and 2021.</span></div><div class="date-outer" style="background-color: #fefdfa; border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(120, 63, 4); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 20px; margin: 30px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 15px; position: relative;"><div class="date-posts" style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(120, 63, 4); clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 0px;"><div class="post-outer" style="border-bottom: none; border-top: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;"><div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" style="min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><a href="https://palmtreeofdeborah.blogspot.com/2011/07/who-is-righteous-gentile.html" style="color: #783f04; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; text-decoration-line: none;">Who is a "Righteous Gentile?"</a></h3><div class="post-header" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><div class="post-header-line-1"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3797451498697055859" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 586.282px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><i style="font-family: arial;">23 Tammuz 5771</i></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is similar to the question which continues to plague Israel---Who is a Jew? There are those who like to say, so-and-so may not be halachicly Jewish, but he would have qualified for the gas chamber in Hitler's Germany.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While that is tragic, it is not a reason to abandon the <i>halachah</i>. Hitler, <i>y"sh</i> does not define for us who is a Jew. Only <i>Hashem</i> does. To allow the Nazis to define Jewishness is to allow them to continue the <i>shmad</i> against us by other means and for all time. And just as we do not allow them to define who is a Jew, neither do we allow <i>Yad Vashem</i> to define who is a righteous Gentile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite that <i>Yad Vashem</i> confers "righteous" status on Gentiles who assisted Jews, even to saving their lives, during the holocaust, we are duty-bound to employ the halachic criteria because while we may owe a debt of gratitude to such people, it is the Master of the World who defines this status and it is judged based on the person's relationship to <i><u>HASHEM</u></i>, not to Jews.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today, this is a terribly misunderstood subject and it is causing no dearth of trouble for <i>Am Yisrael</i> as a result. Today, anyone who is "pro-Israel" is called a righteous Gentile, even down to those who would convert us all to their idolatry if given half a chance. It's not only wrong, it cheapens the demands it requires of those who truly earn it. It is a slap in the face to all truly righteous Gentiles, who often have made great personal sacrifices to attain that level. We owe it to them and to the truth and we owe it to <i>Hashem</i> to set the record straight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Again, "Jew" and "righteous Gentile" are legal statuses defined by Jewish Law as handed down from the Creator at <i>Har Sinai</i>. We are not free, out of some false sense of obligation or gratitude, to move the boundaries <i>Hashem</i> has set in His limitless wisdom.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before getting into what makes one a "<i>stam</i>" goy and another a "righteous <i>goy</i>," I ought to address another issue which coincides with this. Perhaps, before we can distinguish between <i>goy</i> and <i>goy</i>, we ought first to understand what separates the <i>goy</i> and the Jew. Is there a real distinction or <u>are we "all brothers in the family of Mankind?</u>"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's hear Rabbi David Bar Chayim on the subject: <a href="http://www.daatemet.org.il/articles/article.cfm?article_id=119&lang=en" style="color: #6aa84f; text-decoration-line: none;">The Distinction between Jews and Gentiles in Torah</a>:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></span></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3797451498697055859" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 586.282px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</div></span></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3797451498697055859" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 586.282px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Over the past few years, there has been a recognizable trend amongst different circles in the religious community -- <u>a humanistic/universal inclination</u>. There are many who have written in praise of love, “for all men who were created in the image of G-d.” We have even been “graced” with a pamphlet of this name, <i>Chaviv Adam Sh’nivra B’tzelem</i>, composed and edited by Mr. <i>Yochanan Ben Ya’acov</i>, the Director General of the <i>Bnei Akiva</i> Youth Movement. The explicit goal of those who share this outlook is to prove that all men are equal, that it is forbidden to discriminate against any man on the basis of his race, and that anyone who claims the opposite is nothing but a racist, distorting the words of the Torah in order to fit them to his “dreadful” opinions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;">...As will be further clarified, <u>this outlook completely contradicts the Torah of Moses, and stems from an absolute lack of knowledge, permeated with foreign Western “values.</u>” There would not be any need to respond were it not for the many who are mistaken and lead astray by it.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><u>This outlook has even been expressed by some rabbis whose goal is to show how great and important the stature of the Gentile is in our Torah, and who thereby violate the truth by taking things out of context and inaccurately interpreting the words of Chazal and the Rishonim</u>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">(Space does not allow. See the list of <i>halachot</i> which distinguish between Jews and Gentiles <a href="http://www.daatemet.org.il/articles/article.cfm?article_id=119&lang=en" style="color: #6aa84f; text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.)</div></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the book <i><u>Derech Hashem,</u></i> part 2, section 4, the <u>Ramchal</u> explained at length the difference between Israel and the nations of the world: </span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3797451498697055859" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 586.282px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the deepest concepts of G-d's providence involves Israel and the other nations. With regards to their basic human characteristics, the two appear exactly alike. <u>From the Torah's viewpoint, however, <b>the two are completely different</b></u>, and are treated as ones belonging to completely different genera…</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;">Before Adam sinned, he was on a level much higher than contemporary man… In that state, man was on a very lofty level, fit for a high degree of eternal excellence…. He would have then sired future generations while still in that state of excellence. Their number would be accurately determined by G-d's wisdom, depending on how those enjoying His good should best be perfected....</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>However, when Adam sinned, he fell from his original high level, and brought upon himself a great degree of darkness and insensitivity…. Mankind in general also fell from its original height, and remained on a degraded level…. He was thus only prepared and receptive to a much lower level, and it was in this state that his children were born. … they were all born into this degraded state….</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Until Avraham Avinu who raised himself back up to the higher level through his spiritual work and earned the right to pass this trait on to his progeny through Yitzchak and Yaaqov. Thereafter, his physical descendants and any individuals from among the nations who followed Avraham's path and raised themselves up to his level (converting) <u>would be a separate people</u>---Jews.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">...According to the Highest Judgment, it turned out that none of them deserved to rise above the degraded level…not even a little bit. But Abraham, being the only exception, succeeded in elevating himself through his deeds, which led to him being chosen by G-d. Abraham was therefore permanently made into a superior and excellent tree, conforming to man's highest level. It was further provided that he would be able to produce branches [and father a nation] based on his characteristics. The world was then divided into seventy nations, each on its own particular level in the general scheme. <u>All of them, however, remained on the level of man in his fallen state, while only Israel became men in the elevated state</u>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;">The verdict, however, was not that the other nations should be destroyed. It only meant that <u>they would have to remain on the lower level</u> that we have discussed. This lower state of man should never have existed, had Adam not sinned…. <u>These nations still have the human aspect, blemished though it may be, so G-d desired that they should at least have a part of what was actually appropriate for the true mankind</u>. <u>He therefore granted them a divine soul <b>somewhat like that of the Jew, even though it is not on the same level as Jewish souls are</b>, but on a much lower level.</u> They were likewise given commandments through which they could attain both material and spiritual advantages <u>appropriate to their nature</u> -- the Seven Commandments given to the children of Noah.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>In the World to Come, however, there will be no nation other than Israel. The souls of righteous Gentiles will be allowed to exist in the Future World, but only as an addition and attachment to Israel. <u>They will therefore be secondary to the Jews</u>, just as a garment is secondary to the one who wears it. All that they attain of the ultimate good will have to be attained in this manner, since <u>by virtue of their nature they can receive no more</u>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3797451498697055859" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 586.282px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Which brings us back to our original question---Who is a righteous Gentile?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;">...Maimonides stated explicitly in chapter 8 of The Laws of Kings (halacha 10): 'Moses our teacher was commanded by the Mighty One to force the Gentiles to accept the commandments of the sons of Noah…. <u><b>Anyone who accepts the Seven Commandments and is careful to fulfill them is considered a righteous Gentile</b> and receives a portion in the World to Come.

Although participants in the project cannot promote a specific presidential candidate, many have close ties to Donald Trump and the Trump 2024 presidential campaign. The plan would perform a swift takeover of the entire executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory — a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power over the executive branch — upon inauguration.

Even the nations are commenting on the "polarization of society." Every human being is facing their final test to determine their ultimate fate. Every human being must take a side and it basically comes down to whom you choose to rule over you - <i>Hashem Yitbarach</i> or your own ego. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Why do you suppose this separation is being made? So that those who refuse to submit to the rule of <i>HKB"H</i> will be cast out from among the righteous who want only to serve Him and live in peace and harmony with their brothers. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">~ ~ ~</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The following was originally composed and posted by me on a previous blog on </span><i style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">24 Nissan 5764.</span></i></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">THOUGHTS ON REDEMPTION</b></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Redemption "In Its Time"</b></div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Of the final redemption Isaiah 60:22 states, <i>"I, the L-rd, will hasten it in its time."</i> Our Sages learn from this that the redemption can come in one of two ways. If Israel is meritorious, it will be <i>"in haste."</i> Otherwise, it will be <i>"in its time."</i></div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Rabbi Meir Kahane, <i>ztz"l Hy"d </i>wrote at length on this subject in his two-volume book, <u><i>Or Hara'ayon, </i>The Jewish Idea</u><i>.</i> In Chapter 27, <i>"</i>The Final Redemption<i>,"</i> he wrote the following:</div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>The final redemption for which we have been waiting anxiously for thousands of years, the return to <i>Eretz Yisrael</i> from the great, long exile, is not like the redemption from Babylonia. When G-d exiled Israel to Babylonia, He decreed for them seventy years.... Yet, our present exile is not that way. G-d never decreed a specific amount of time. Rather, if Israel were to repent fully and completely, they would bring the Messiah, complete redemption, immediately, overnight.... In other words, if Israel merits redemption through mitzvot and good deeds worthy of redemption, it will come with 'haste'... Otherwise, it will come only 'in its time,' in the latest time it can possibly come, near the end of the six thousand [years].... <b><u>This redemption will be accompanied, G-d forbid, by the terrible suffering of chevlei mashiach, Messianic birthpangs</u></b>. ...<u>Because this redemption does not come by virtue of Israel's deeds, but only for the sake of sanctifying G-d's name, defamed among the nations by the exile...</u>.</blockquote></div></span></span><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">Although Rabbi Kahane seemed to imply at certain points that at the time of his writing (which I believe was in the vicinity of 1988-89), there was still time to bring redemption </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">"in haste,"</span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">it is eminently clear from other statements that he believed that decision had already been cast and that we were already at that time doomed to see redemption</span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">"in its time":</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></span><blockquote><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">"...we must wonder why precisely we did merit it, [i.e., redemption in our days] albeit <u>redemption 'in its time</u>,' when even this we did not deserve."</div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">"There is another reason why precisely <u>in our day G-d has inaugurated redemption 'in its time</u>.'

Continuing in <u><i>Or Hara'ayon</i></u>, chapter 28:</div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></span><blockquote><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Trouble and strife will be the lot of Israel, <u>especially the righteous among them</u>, and this even before the War of <i>Gog</i> and <i>Magog</i>. As R. Yochanan concluded (<i>Sanhedrin 98a</i>), "If you see a generation engulfed by troubles as by a river, wait for [the Messiah]" We also find (Ibid., 97a):</div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"The Rabbis learned: 'The L-rd will take up the cause of His people [and comfort His servants]. <u>He will have seen that their power is gone, with no protection or help'</u> (<i>Deut</i>. 32:36): The son of David will not come... <u>until they despair of redemption</u>, as though there is no support or help for Israel, as it says, 'with no protection or help.'"</blockquote></div></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Such redemption comes not because of Israel's merit, but only to sanctify G-d's name. It says (<i>Zechariah 14:1-2</i>):</div></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"Behold, a day of the L-rd comes when your spoil shall be divided in your midst.

(Psalm 83:5)</div></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Jeremiah said of this (Jer. 30:7), "Alas! That day is great; none is like it.<u> It is a time of trouble for Jacob, but he shall be saved out of it</u>." ...<i>Yalkut Shimoni</i> teaches (<i>Yirmiyahu 30:31</i>):</div></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"The Rabbis learned, 'Out of anger [against Israel will later emerge G-d's] acceptance; out of wrath, mercy; out of trouble, relief; out of distancing, bringing near; out of falling, rising; and out of darkness, light.'"</blockquote></div></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The anger, wrath, trouble, etc., are the content of the "brief moment" and the "time of trouble"', and after them will come redemption. <u>Such is the intent of, "In the overflowing of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on you." (Isaiah 54:8)</u> <b><u>...Woe to us for the "brief moment" of <i>Gog</i> and <i>Magog</i> and for the Messianic birthpangs that precede it.</u></b> ...it says, <u>"The L-rd will remove men far away; the Land shall be largely abandoned</u>. If one tenth remain in it, that, too, shall be consumed" (Isaiah 6:12-13). It also says (Zechariah 13:8-9):</div></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"In all the Land, says the L-rd, <b><u>two thirds shall be cut off and die</u></b>,<u> but the third shall be left.

What intelligent person would not be willing to exchange <b><u>redemption of suffering and holocausts, horrors and Messianic birthpangs</u></b> - Heaven help us - for redemption in glory and majesty? Yet such redemption cannot come so long as Israel depend on the nations and lack complete faith in G-d. It will not come as long as Israel profane G-d's name by their refusal to expel from <i>Eretz Yisrael</i> the Ishmaelites, who revile and profane G-d's name, as long as the Temple Mount remains a den of alien Ishmaelite foxes who come near yet are neither killed nor banished. As long as Israel fear flesh and blood and therefore refuse to perform mitzvot and great deeds for fear of the nations' reaction, redemption "in haste" will be impossible. No redemption based on <i>Kiddush Hashem</i> can arrive while Israel concede regarding <i>Chillul Hashem</i>.</span></blockquote><blockquote style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">If Israel do not merit redemption "in haste," and the end passes and redemption "in its time" arrives, <b><u>G-d will free <i>Mashiach ben Yosef</i></u></b>,<b><span style="color: red;"><u> yet only so that he can go to war accompanied by suffering, tragedy and horror</u></span></b>, and indeed he will be slain in this war.

Precisely these deeds of his which sanctify G-d's name will bring the final redemption, by the fact that all the nations will go to war against Israel, and <b><u>Israel will be alone with no helper but their Father in Heaven</u></b>.

Therefore, I find it noteworthy that Jewish sources consistently refer to the final war as "<i>Gog <b>u</b>Magog</i>" - <i>Gog <b><u>and</u></b> Magog</i>, as if they are two separate entities. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I also find it noteworthy that there are two <i>Eisav/Yishmael</i> alliances in the world today, one from the Right and one from the Left: America/Saudi Arabia and Russia/Iran. I think it is possible that these are "<i>Gog</i>" and "<i>Magog</i>". </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>The</u> War of <i>Gog uMgog</i> began with the invasion and massacre at the conclusion of <i>Sukkot</i> 5784 which was orchestrated by the America/Saudi Arabia alliance and it will reach its final conclusion with the invasion at <i>Sukkot</i> 5785 by the Russia/Iran alliance.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These are my own ideas and may or may not play out as I anticipate, but they are based on concepts found in the <i>Tanach</i>, the <i>Gemara</i>, <i>midrashim</i> and commentaries. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <u>first invasion</u> by <i>Gog</i> forces, supported by the 70 nations of the world, has set the stage for the revelation of <i>Mashiach ben Yosef</i> and will result in <i>Gog's</i> downfall around (I hope) <i>Purim/Pesach</i> 5784. The <i>Erev Rav</i> regime will go down with <i>Gog </i>when it is revealed how deeply they betrayed the Jewish nation. This paves the way for <i>Mashiach Ben Yosef </i>to take power in Israel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is likely that <i>Gog's</i> downfall will be the catalyst for World War 3, providing a distraction for the nations of the world while <i>MBY</i> begins the work of preparing us for the final redemption to come with the end of the <i>Gog uMagog</i> War. That comes with the <u>second invasion</u> at <i>Sukkot</i> 5785 by "<i>Magog</i>" - the Russia/Iran alliance. (This is, I believe, what <i>Yechezkel</i> 38 recounts.) </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">And this is when I expect <i>Mashiach ben David</i> to be revealed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">WW3 will have ended and all the nations who survived will ally with <i>Magog</i> to eliminate the "cause of all the world's problems" - the Jews in Israel - so that peace can finally reign across the globe.

It is indicative of the great significance of the Tabernacle that most of the last three Torah portions and almost all of <i>Vayahkel</i> and <i>Pekudei</i> are devoted to it. <u>Israel's ability to create a setting for God's Presence is a measure of its greatness and, indeed, a primary reason for its very existence</u>. Its future history would revolve around its worthiness to have the Temple in its midst. When Israel was unfaithful to its trust, God's Presence would depart from the Temple, leaving it an empty shell, devoid of its inner holiness. Once that happened, destruction and national exile came quickly. The challenge of the exile is for Israel to return to its former estate, and thereby bring about the era of Messiah and the Third Temple. This longing is expressed in our daily prayers that God return us to Jerusalem and the Temple, may they be rebuilt speedily in our days.

My prayer is that American Jewish people become aware of the bondages to these gods and break free from them. <u>They must make Aliyah (return) to Israel before greater judgment or plagues come upon America.</u> The Jewish people in America must be freed from this slavery to materialism in all of its forms in order to escape to Israel.

He uses the now infamous fishers and hunters example, claiming that Christian Zionists are the fishers trying to encourage Jews to leave the United States and other countries around the world before the hunters come after them. There are echoes of John Hagee's "Hitler as God's hunter" sermon, also exposed in a video by Bruce Wilson.</span></blockquote></span></div><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; text-align: justify;"><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">(Hess)"...People ask: Why did God allow the Holocaust in Europe? For years, a loving God warned the Jews to leave through Jewish Zionist prophets, but ninety percent of them refused to leave before it was too late! If more than ten percent of the Jews leave America before it falls or becomes a lesser power, it would be one of the first times in history. Zechariah 12:8 said that two thirds of the Jews in the world would be killed. One third of them, six million have already been killed in the Holocaust.

But with a new, </b><u><b>more radical sect ascending</b></u><b> within the movement, the marriage may be in trouble.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span>by <span style="text-align: center;">Rachel Tabachnick 2015/ Updated Apr 14, 2017</span></span> </span></p><p></p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been one of the most beloved Israeli politicians in the history of Christian Zionism. It has been a religio-political match made in heaven, with Christian Right leaders providing Netanyahu with money in Israel and political clout in the U.S., and the Israeli leader putting up with an Evangelical end-times theology.<br /><br />
But while Netanyahu is still in office, his Christian Zionist dance partners have changed. They no longer adhere to the fantastical, but generally passive end-times theology from which Christian Zionism emerged. <u>Today’s Christian Zionists hail from apostolic and prophetic movements</u> such as the </span><b style="font-family: arial;"><u>New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)</u></b><span style="font-family: arial;">, a demon-haunted new generation of American religio-politics, which may change the terms of the American-Israeli right-wing partnership in the bargain.</span></div></blockquote><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">It was Jerry Falwell who brokered the unlikely political <u>partnership between American fundamentalists and Israeli politicians</u> during the administration of <b><u>Menachem Begin, founder of the Likud Party</u></b>.</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"></span><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">...Christian Zionism has recently been transformed by a new generation with a <u>radically different theology</u> that actively <u>seeks to proselytize in Israel</u>, Eastern Europe, and South America, and which <u>promotes an aggressive <b>Christian nationalism</b> in the U.S.</u></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>...Get to know the NAR: they are the future of the Christian Right</u></b>. Their leaders describe themselves as modern day “apostles and prophets,” anointed by God to reform the church in preparation for the end times. This is a triumphalist theology, one in which the adherents believe they will exercise “<u>dominion</u>” over all of American society, be victorious over their opponents on earth, and <u>convert all the Jews</u>.<br /><br />
For fundamentalists like Jerry Falwell, the prerequisite for the second coming was the physical restoration of Israel or the return of unconverted Jews to modern day Israel. But <u>for the apostles and prophets of the NAR, the prerequisite for the second coming is the spiritual restoration, or conversion of Jews to their brand of Christianity</u>. The result has been the development of Messianic communities and missionary training centers around the world.<br /><br />
Moreover, while fundamentalists look to the scriptures for secret meaning in current events and messages from God, the <u>modern-day apostles and prophets claim to be the bearers of God’s direct ongoing revelation</u>.</div></span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The results can be bizarre. The leading thinker of the NAR, C. Peter Wagner, stated on NPR in 2011...that there is “a lot of demonic control” in Congress (and that demons can possess entire cities as well), that it is important to cast spells to protect politicians from witchcraft, and that <u>non-Christian religions</u> “are part of the kingdom of darkness".... </div></span></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;">[That would, of course, include what they call "Rabbinic Judaism," which they do not consider to be "Biblical".]</span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
And yet, the NAR is not on the fringe, but <u><b>at the center of today’s Republican Party</b></u>....<br /><br />
The NAR has steadily <u>taken over</u> the world of Christian Zionism. The “prayer for Israel” at Rick Perry’s event was not led by John Hagee but by Apostle Don Finto, the author of the classic text on supporting <u>Messianic</u> communities (i.e. <u>converted Jews with NAR-style evangelical beliefs</u>). Finto openly called for the conversion of Jews, and was joined by the rabbi of one of the nation’s most prominent Messianic congregations. This call for the conversion of Jews was repeated at a more recent similar event hosted in Louisiana by Gov. Bobby Jindal and also featuring NAR apostles.<br /><br />
Another <u>key NAR player in Christian Zionism</u> is Finto’s disciple, <u><b>Robert Stearns</b></u>. Stearns was one of the original directors of CUFI and <u>his ministry has prominently featured endorsements by Bibi and other Jewish leaders</u>. He is also the co-founder and leader of the single largest international Christian Zionist event, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ), held annually and involving thousands of churches worldwide praying that Israel fulfill its God-given mandate. That mandate is clear in Stearns' celebration of the growing number of the Messianic movement in Israel, and his exclamation that these converted Jews are like "our elder brother risen from the dead!"<br /><br />
...Ironically, the term “anti-Semitism” has been frequently used to describe those who object to Israeli politics, while Christian Zionists, <u>who hold views denigrating Jews’ spiritual lives</u> and which would have been considered anti-Semitic years ago, are described as “philo-Semitic” defenders of Israel. <u>This paradox has not only been tolerated by Jewish right-wing leaders, but Christian Zionists allies have, with their blessing</u>, been commissioned to teach about the Holocaust, fight anti-Semitism on campuses, and represent Israeli interests to governments in nations around the globe.<br /><br />
But today’s New Apostolic leaders bring another challenge to Netanyahu and Israeli allies of Christian Zionists. <u>Progressives have long complained that right-wing Israelis have made a “deal with the devil” in accepting support from messianic Christian Zionists</u>. But that was, to coin a phrase, the devil they knew. <u><b>The question now is whether right-wing Jews will continue to partner</b></u> with a group that actively seeks their conversion, believes that politicians are possessed by demons, and is <b><u>spending millions of dollars each year to create a theocracy in the United States</u></b>.

The damage they've done and the threat they still pose to Jewish <i>neshamot</i> cannot be overstated. But while they certainly came here with </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;">an agenda to proselytize Jews via a long-term plan of relationship evangelism, they also came with the aim of claiming the Land of Israel for themselves. I reported on this years ago, about their desire to lay claim to our Land in the belief that it is their inheritance through J.C. Sherri Waller was quoted as saying...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><em style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;"></em></span></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-size: 16px;">...the Waller family was joined by several other families who wanted to help bring down the wall of division. "For us, it's a spiritual deal---a <b><u>faith</u></b> deal," said Sherri Waller. "The battle is over the land because God gave it to the descendants of Abraham---<strong><u>that includes us</u></strong>."</span> </span></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZdvjEn8Qa1eGMSZdXGOMVhti-KfIasp0Orl_5CsNaGmimY9JqLW7sbK0-w9bHm-HseVLaNDMnqA0s35D9augYTJfZxHmbi65uMQvRNs6e4D5JEDQvhnWMK6s3SeySkOmwvHGNNHCHVQh5bmf-2rgjt6cS7bkRvVkTGaFY9ZJykBW0m7o1nBMlHNooqPI/s645/sherri.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="645" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZdvjEn8Qa1eGMSZdXGOMVhti-KfIasp0Orl_5CsNaGmimY9JqLW7sbK0-w9bHm-HseVLaNDMnqA0s35D9augYTJfZxHmbi65uMQvRNs6e4D5JEDQvhnWMK6s3SeySkOmwvHGNNHCHVQh5bmf-2rgjt6cS7bkRvVkTGaFY9ZJykBW0m7o1nBMlHNooqPI/w550-h356/sherri.png" width="550" /></a></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I was reminded of this quote when I heard a speech made at the Waller compound on <i>Har Brachah</i> in 2018 in which Hayovel was being praised: "<b><u>...they are <span style="color: red;">taking the land</span>, one grape at a time, one vineyard at a time</u></b>." And if you watched my video <b><a href="https://youtu.be/wd5ncZYZLl0?si=O0cdEgUbohjKlSrr&t=95" target="_blank">Missionaries and the IDF</a> </b>(@ 1:35), you heard Tommy Waller say that he is very unusual in the fact that he has 11 children and 30 of his 45 grandchildren living with him there on <i>Har Brachah</i>. They have permanently settled there!! According to NAR theology, they will inherit the entire <i>yishuv</i> when the Jews are removed due to their obstinate refusal to bow to King JC. Then, all those grandchildren can move right in to those nice forfeited Jewish homes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Something else that came my way was a video called "Jews and Christians: Different religion - same Faith!" The word "religion" leaves a bad taste in today's more 'refined' palate. Religion causes division, but "faith" is unifying - it's something all of humanity shares in common. (Note the new term "faith-based".) This is the inspiration behind Messianic Judaism and the newfound Christian interest in the Temple/Temple Mount and the new, improved version of it becoming a "House of Prayer for All Nations" regardless of which god they serve.</span></p>

Obviously, I am more concerned with the danger posed to us by <i>Eisav</i> than I am the more obvious danger coming from <i>Yishmael</i>, precisely because the danger from <i>Eisav</i> is so rarely recognized. In fact, the perceived danger from <i>Yishmael</i> is driving <i>Klal Yisrael</i> - not to <i>HKB"H</i> as intended - but into the willing arms of <i>Eisav HaRasha, Hashem yishmor</i>.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Always keep in mind that regardless of geopolitics, <u>these are religious wars</u> and that's why you can't expect our attackers to be placated by the promise of economic incentives. That means that Biden/Obama, Wokeness, Leftist ideology, UN votes, charges filed with the ICJ, these are all <i>Eisav</i> to be sure, but they are minor players, all distractions meant to divert our attention from the greater enemy to whom we are consequentially turning to for support. That would be the other side of <i>Eisav</i> - <u>the Christian Right</u>!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: man-made religions, like Christianity, change over time. I can testify from my 70-years vantage point that the Christianity of the 1950s was not the same as the 1970s and that Christianity is hardly recognizable in the 2020s. Tommy Waller's son, Josh, said it himself in a talk he gave at Eagle Mountain International Church...</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>...there's not churches like you, I mean where are they? Y'all are leading in something that's <b><i><u>new</u></i></b>. For 2,000 years there just wasn't that relationship. It's a <b><i><u>new</u></i></b> thing that's being brought out and you're leading in that.... I pray ... that you'll have much success in leading in this <b><i><u>new</u></i></b> path, [to] normalize that we, the Christians around the world, are natural friends of the Jewish people [and] we're not their enemies....</blockquote></div></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These "new" ideas are coming with a flood of "new" things from the relatively "new" <b><a href="https://politicalresearch.org/2016/08/18/dominionism-rising-a-theocratic-movement-hiding-in-plain-sight" target="_blank">Dominionist</a></b> theology which is being brought to the world via the <b><u>NAR - the New Apostolic Reformation</u></b> movement. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">They even have a "new" Bible that complements their "new" reformation...<br />
</span></p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">NAR has gained so much momentum that its community now has its own Bible version, The Passion Translation, produced by the Apostle Brian Simmons of Stairway Ministries (Wichita, Kansas). Now NAR teachings can be supported by pointing to chapter and verse, further strengthening the impression that NAR enjoys explicit biblical support. But in a review for Themelios, Andrew G. Shead concludes that Simmons abandons “all interest in textual accuracy, playing fast and loose with the original languages, and inserting so much new material into the text that it is at least 50% longer than the original.</span></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">You've surely heard of the Protestant Reformation - when "reformers" like Martin Luther decried the corrupt practices of the Catholic Church and led a movement which resulted in the establishment of Protestant Christianity. Well, this is being touted as its successor - a New Reformation - and the scary part is this is no fringe movement. One 2021 article published by the Adventist Church claims that "more than 66 million Christians in the United States have likely come into significant contact with NAR teachings."</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Its adherents are already sitting in the very top seats of power throughout the world. Even the Pope is on board. They have already, over the past 20 years, infiltrated into every area of life in <i>Eretz Yisrael</i> and they pose a mortal threat to American Jews. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In short, Dominionists (NAR) </span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;">believe that Christians</span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px;"> are Divinely-appointed to conquer and rule the world ("take dominion") in accordance with the Christian view of what constitutes God's Law and only when they have accomplished that will their messiah-god return to rule and reign over mankind. They believe that to do this, they must take control over seven leading aspects of culture: family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government Their stated goal is to make Israel the first nation they conquer.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/CXVOJJcraUY"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Israel to Be "First Completely Saved" Nation on Earth</span></a></b></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://palmtreeofdeborah.blogspot.com/2020/10/establishing-judeo-christianity-across.html" target="_blank"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CXVOJJcraUY?si=fTDRJBRosEt4wfRP" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></a></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">To this end, their plan is to (1) convert all the Jews in Israel to "Messianic Judaism"; (2) assimilate these Jews with the non-Jews, creating one family of mankind. This is the New Testament vision of "The One New Man" or "The One New Humanity" and "The True Israel." Any Jew who refuses to submit will be deemed an enemy and treated accordingly.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Education is one of those cultural aspects they need to control to bring their vision to reality.

What they don't get is that it is the <i>kedushah</i> inherent in the Torah-faithful Jewish <i>neshamah</i> that brings blessing and they don't have any access to that because they have inadvertently "partnered" with the <i>Erev Rav</i>.

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Speaking of missionaries, I have an update for you on that very obnoxious woman called Sarah of Sarah's Ministries for J.C. who harassed Israelis for over a year, all over the country, at every possible opportunity, along with her Asian sidekick and a cameraman who caught it all on videos which were uploaded to Youtube and used to accuse </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Klal Yisrael</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> of "persecution."

</span></p><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">...After this war [WWI] there will be a pause and then there will be another war and then another pause. Then, there will be another war and with that war the Mashiach will come…the last war will be the beginning of the redemption, and <b>a Torah-true Jew who is <u>completely separated from the non-Jews</u> will not be subjugated</b>, as we find that in Egypt when two people drank from the same cup, one (an Egyptian) drank blood and the other (an Israelite) drank water. This shows that in fact <b>there is no rule whatsoever over a Jew who is <u>separated entirely from the non-Jews</u></b>” (Rabbi Aharon Kotler, in the name of the Chafetz Chaim, Leket Reshimot Channukah by Rabbi Noson Wachtofogel, p. 40).</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have a tradition passed down from one to another in the name of Maran HaGaon Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin, z”l, that in the final war before the arrival of Mashiach <b>all of the <u>righteous</u> Jews will be saved</b>. <b><span style="color: red;"><u>Who are ‘righteous Jews’?</u></span></b> <b><u>Those who are separated from the non-Jews</u>! </b> It does not mean that they must be one of the 36 righteous individuals, rather <b>they must be separated from the ways of the non-Jews and have no contact with their culture!</b> Not with their newspapers, their music and books; [and I would add their politics!] to be <b><u>entirely separated from them</u></b>.

</span><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">...I’ve never seen so many Jewish reporters attending a Christian event, all of them <b><u>speaking positively</u> about their experiences</b>, and all surprised at how genuine, caring, loving, accepting, and affirming followers of Jesus (Yeshua) are to them as Jewish people and toward Israel as a people and nation of Jewish people.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To illustrate this, I’d like to share with you the following article written by one of those Orthodox Jewish reporters I overheard.

The following <i>mitzvot</i> are quoted from <u>The Concise Sefer HaChinuch</u> by Rabbi Asher Wasserman with <i>haskamot</i> from HaRav Avraham Pinchas Berkowitz, <i>shlita</i>; HaGaon HaGadol R. Chaim Kanievsky, <i>shlita</i>; HaGaon HaGadol R. Dov Yaffe, <i>shlita</i>; HaGaon HaGadol R. Nissim Karelitz, <i>shlita</i>; HaGaon HaGadol R. Moshe Shaul Klein, <i>shlita</i>; and HaGaon HaGadol R. Yitzchok Zilberstein, <i>shlita</i>.<br />
<blockquote><b><u>Mitzvah 426</u>: Do not show favor or mercy towards those who worship idols.</b><br />(ולא תחנם) </blockquote><blockquote>
And you shall not show them any favor. (<i>Devarim 7.2</i>)<br /><br /><u>
Explanation</u>: Do not show any favor or mercy towards those who worship idols, and <b><span style="color: red;"><u>do not regard as admirable or correct even one thing that they do</u></span></b>. Distance from your mind the slightest assumption, and never suggest verbally that one can learn or benefit from such people. Do not look upon idol-worshippers as serving any useful purpose or as possessing any positive trait or quality, In fact, <u>our Sages taught that one is even forbidden to say about an idol worshiper that he is a nice or pleasant person</u>.<br /><br /><b><u>
Mitzvah 457</u>: Do not show love or regard for anyone who entices others to worship false deities.</b><br />(לא תאבה לו) </blockquote><blockquote>Do not show any regard for him. (<i>Devarim 13.9</i>)<br /><br /><u>
Explanation</u>: Do not pay attention to the words of anyone who entices people to worship a false god. Do not show him any affection or regard.<br /><br />
Someone is considered to have enticed to idol worship not only if he advocates the actual worship, but even if he simply praises the deity’s so called “deeds”. If his intent is to cause people to serve the deity and go out from under the wings of the <i>Shechinah</i>, he is considered as having enticed others to idol worship.<br /><br /><b><u>
Mitzvah 458</u>: Do not stop hating someone who entices others to worship false deities.</b><br />(ולא תשמע אליו)<br /><br />
And do not hearken to him. (<i>Devarim 13.9</i>)<br /><br /><u>Explanation</u>: Do not refrain from taking full vengeance on anyone who entices people to worship false gods. In return for the evil that he sought to commit, do not stop hating him and show no mercy on him.<br /><br /><b><u>
Mitzvah 459</u>: Do not rescue from danger anyone who entices others to worship false deities.</b><br />(ולא תחוס עינך עליו) </blockquote><blockquote>
And do not let your eyes have any pity on him. (<i>Devarim 13.9</i>)<br /><br /><u>
Explanation</u>: If someone who was enticed to worship false gods sees the enticer in any sort of danger, he is forbidden to take pity on him and save him.<br /><br /><b><u>
Mitzvah 460</u>: Do not defend or say anything on behalf of someone who entices others to worship false deities.</b><br />(ולא תחמל) </blockquote><blockquote>And do not show mercy. (<u>Devarim 13.9</u>)<br /><br /><u>
Explanation</u>: If someone was enticed to worship false gods, he is forbidden to say anything positive about the one who enticed him, or defend him in any way.<br /><br /><b><u>
Mitzvah 461</u>: If enticed to idol worship do not refrain from publicizing any negative thing you know about the one who enticed you.</b><br />(ולא תכסה עליו) </blockquote><blockquote>
And do not cover up for him. (<i>Devarim 13.9</i>)<br /><br /><u>
Explanation</u>: If someone was enticed to worship false gods, he is forbidden to remain silent about anything negative that he knows about one who enticed him. He must come forward and publicize all of the offender’s guilt and shortcomings.<br /><br />
From the many admonishments about someone who entices to idol worship, we can infer that we have a <i>mitzvah</i> to hate wanton violators of other commands, too. That is, it is sometimes clear that there is no hope for a person, for his actions are exceedingly corrupt and abominable. He refuses to listen to any teacher or authority, and prefers instead to scorn their words. His goal is only to do damage. It is a <i>mitzvah</i> to hate such people. One should never defend them or say anything positive about them.</blockquote><p>As a final word, allow me to emphasize that it's not just a sin for practitioners of <i>avodah zarah</i> to entice (proselytize) Jews, but gentiles as well! The worship of any god except The ONE GOD - <i>HKB"H</i> - is <u>forbidden to all humanity</u>!!</p><p>And anyone who denies this Torah and thinks his way is better is already an idolater who has deified himself!</p></div></span>Devorah Chayahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03625277197970920616noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492192659601155685.post-21955836449866390932024-02-27T09:37:00.002+02:002024-02-27T09:51:43.294+02:00CHUTZPAH!!!!<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>18 Adar Alef 5784</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://www.byronstinson.me/" target="_blank">Byron Stinson</a></b> is the driving force behind the current plan to sacrifice a red heifer on the Mount of Olives in the "next few weeks" (no date has as yet been publicized).

There is no "extreme" where authentic Torah dwells. "Extremes" come from the minds of misguided humans, from additions and subtractions to God's perfect Law as given at <i>Har Sinai</i>.

Without the knowledge or the faith to accept its destiny, Israel wants to lean on the Christian West, by which it causes the Islamic East to fear for its life and attack in response.

A perfect display of perversion was taking place at the Nova Festival on <i>Simchat Torah/Shabbat</i> last October 7th. The balance was severely out of kilter at that moment, especially coming as it did at the conclusion of the entire period of <i>teshuvah</i> and judgment. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was extreme and its counter-extreme was a witness as it prepared to attack.

From <u>The Book of Our Heritage</u> by Rabbi Eliyahu Kitov for the month of <i>Adar</i>...</span></div><div><blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Sages explained...the imperative to remove all traces of idolatry and to serve only G-d - this is incumbent on you [Israel] now and for all generations to come. Have you removed the foreign gods from your midst? Have you brought yourselves under my wing and shattered all of your idols? <b><u>Let Amalek come and examine you.</u></b> <b><span style="color: red;"><u> If your hearts are completely with Me you have nothing to fear.</u></span></b> But if there is among you a man or woman whose soul still clings to the idols of Egypt and their abominations, let them [the idols] come and save you from the wicked Amalek! The verse therefore states: And Amalek came (<i>Shemot</i> 17:8) ... and he tailed after you [striking] all the weak who fell behind (<i>Devarim</i> 25:18).</span></blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><u style="font-family: arial;">And he tailed after you</u><span style="font-family: arial;"> - R. Nachman explained: All those whom the "protective cloud" cast out were caught by Amalek. The Sages explained: This refers to the tribe of Dan who were cast out by the "protective cloud" because they were idol worshipers. The idol which </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Michah</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> had created was in their midst, and </span><b style="font-family: arial;"><u>there were many among them who had not wholeheartedly resolved to serve G-d alone</u></b><span style="font-family: arial;"> (</span><i style="font-family: arial;">Yalkut Shimoni, Parshat Ki Tetze</i><span style="font-family: arial;">).</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><u><div style="text-align: justify;"><u>And he tailed after you</u> - Amalek was like a fly which hovers over any place where it finds an open wound. <b><u>When Amalek found a weak link in Israel, they came and waged war with Israel.</u></b></div></u><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sin and transgression - these are Amalek's strengths. <b><span style="color: red;"><u>Amalek is the cause of sin and through Amalek punishment is meted out.</u></span></b> This is the manner in which Satan acts. He first creates a stumbling block for man, ascends to G-d and accuses him, and then descends to carry out his destruction.</div></span></blockquote><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-family: arial;">History Repeats</b></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">According to many headlines in the media, Amalek was very much on the minds of people all over the world in the wake of the invasion and attack by Hamas on October 7th.</div></span><p></p><div><blockquote><ul style="text-align: left;"><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"Comparing Hamas to Amalek, our biblical nemesis..."</span></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"From the Battle of Amalek to the war with Hamas"</span></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"PM’s office says it’s ‘preposterous’ to say his invoking Amalek was a genocide call"</span></li></ul></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Eyes opened up wide and Amalek was perceived in Hamas and its attack, but wait.

Have you <b><u>removed the foreign gods from your midst</u></b>? Have you brought yourselves under my wing and <b><u>shattered all of your idols</u></b>? Let Amalek come and examine you. <b><span style="color: red;"><u>If your hearts are completely with Me you have nothing to fear. </u></span></b> But if there is among you a man or woman whose soul still clings to the idols of Egypt and their abominations, let them [the idols] come and save you from the wicked Amalek! </span></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Witness this act of idolatry which was carried out very recently by a Jewish heretic in Shilo in the area where the <i>Mishkan</i> stood.
