"Just Asking..."

21 Menachem Av 5786

A comment was submitted which posed the following... 

...focus more on encouraging us to break out of the them vs us paradigm, to work towards real solutions.

...Instead of blaming, can we find a way forward where we can change something in ourselves, to break the paradigm that has us all trapped pointing fingers at others, instead of doing something ourselves, to improve the situation?

So there are two separate issues to address here.  It's very important to me to get this right; to ensure that my efforts have not gone in vain.  I'll try to be more succinct.

If you live in Israel, you can't have missed the constant reference to the "conceptzia".  It comes from the English word concept...

Definition:  A concept is an abstract idea, a general notion, or a mental picture of what something is and how it works. It helps us group similar things together and understand the world around us.

The concept upon which the Oslo Accords were based, along with everything that followed out from it, up to and including not just the Simchat Torah Massacre, but up until this very day and what is coming immediately upon us, was a false "conceptzia."  Most intellectually honest people can admit that now.

But, there are other false conceptzias out there like ahavat chinam is the solution to sinat chinam or the State of Israel is already the messianic kingdom so all that's left is to build the Temple, or that unity comes before everything else.  None of these concepts has any basis in Torah, they are child-like wishful thinking.  The questions that plague me are...

How do you unwash the brainwashed mind?

How do you convince people that the Torah already has all the answers and convince them to pay heed to it?

These are the "real solutions," but "breaking people out of the them vs us paradigm" is not part of any solution, it's at the heart of the problem.

Separation is the key to Redemption.

The Torah is full, full, full of examples:  Creation began with separation and it ends with the birur separation.  Those who did not sin with the Golden Calf were called to separate from those who did, the people gathered around Korach were commanded to separate themselves from him and his family and supporters or go down with them.  The Maccabim called for those loyal to Hashem to separate from the Hellenists.

In my blog posts, I've identified some serious misconceptzias and a solution to go with it.  A "first step" - separate from the sinners so you don't share their fate.  

Did you know that the meforshim say that those who stood by and watched the celebration of the Golden Calf and said nothing against it were considered as guilty parties?

Herem is the Torah-mandated way to wake sinners up to the facts of life.  And it is in everyone's power to separate themselves from evil-doers.  You've just been brainwashed to believe just the opposite.  

You tell me, how do we undo all these disastrous anti-Torah concepts in the minds and hearts of otherwise righteous Jews?  Anyone??

Living With the Unthinkable: The Mental Failure of This People

20 Menachem Av 5786

Basically, the National Religious (Religious Zionist) public cries out to their Chareidi brothers in anger,  "Our sons are dead and dying while yours sit safely in yeshivah.  To be fair and equal, your sons should be dying right alongside ours!!!"

What a failure in thinking!  Instead, let's dismantle the cult of child sacrifice that has taken hold in our Land in the name of Zionism and choose a leadership that will defeat the enemy, win the war and stop this wanton murder of our children via the war machine that is lining the pockets of the 'Elites'!!

Yes, the State of Israel IS GUILTY of killing children, just like the world says.  But it's NOT the children of Gaza, it's not the children of Lebanon, it's the Jewish children of Eretz Yisrael.

When will we wake up to our reality?!!

Israel’s Central Elections Committee is preparing emergency procedures to safeguard voting in the event of missile fire or other security disruptions on Election Day, according to a report in i24 News.  (VOTING UNDER FIRE: Israel Drafts Emergency Election-Day Procedures)

There is no shame in Israel.  The fact that this can be published as if it's a given that we will live continually under threat demonstrates it.  The very people and philsophy they follow like an alternative religion are responsible for bringing us to this situation and yet they court your vote with the understanding that they have no power to arrange peace even for the span of an election cycle.

When will we decide enough is enough?!!

The New Waller Mission: Spread Judeo-Chr*stianity to the World from the Zionist State

19 Menachem Av 5786

The deadly game of "friendship" with practitioners of avodah zarah - building their "Base of Operations" in "the heartland" of the Jewish nation.  Idolatry was always a problem for Samaria.  Some people just can't seem to get it.  Jews are always their own worst enemy.

Excerpt from Zac Waller's website (Part One: The Fire at Chavat Gilad):

"...It is named for Gilad, the eldest brother of our dear friend Rabbi Yonadav Zar of Har Bracha, a man who has taught our volunteer groups for years and continues to bless us in our work at Israel Lighthouse."

Another HaYovel - Israel Guys -
Waller Family Ministries project...

Israel Lighthouse For The Nations

You have to first understand that Chr*stians - like Zac Waller and his ever growing extended family -  believe that Israel failed in this Divine mission itself and the duty to be "the light to the nations" passed to the followers of the false messiah.  The Greek Testament says so explicitly (Google Acts 13:47).

Quoting from Zac's website...

We can not ignore this darkness any longer. That’s why we are launching: Israel Lighthouse for the Nations.

In a world darkened by political upheaval and moral confusion, Israel Lighthouse exists to equip Christians to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness through authentic discipleship, raising up torch-bearing servant-leaders who bless Israel and illuminate the nations.

Projected Impact:

• Israel-Aligned Christians will be equipped with an identity that they can stand firmly in and pass to successive generations.

• All Christians will gain access to a solid, structured, pro-Israel theology.

• The body of Messiah will be invited to walk a path of repentance from replacement theology and Christian antisemitism.

• Hardcore Christians will actively advocate for Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.

• Christians and Jews will engage in respectful and productive theological dialogue.

• Families and communities will be built up by adopting a Bible-based moral standard.

• A global network of Zionist Christians will emerge who are engaged in bringing God’s literal, physical kingdom to earth.

About the Founder: Zac Waller

Zac Waller is a worshiper, a husband, a father, a mentor, a leader, and a shepherd—called by God to raise up torchbearers from the nations.

...At thirteen, Zac gave his life to the God of Israel and committed to follow Yeshua with all his heart. That commitment led him far from the hollows of Tennessee to the vineyards of Samaria, where he first set foot on the Mount of Blessing in 2004—and never looked back.

Among the ripening grapes of Har Bracha, Zac heard the call loud and clear: the land was awakening, Israel was rising, and the nations were invited to be part of it. Within a few years he was appointed Director of HaYovel, and quickly promoted to Executive Director. Under his leadership, more than 3,000 volunteers from 33 nations came to work the land, love the people, and draw closer to God.

Though building out a business with many unique challenges was invigorating, God began to slowly move Zac out of business leadership into a spiritually shepherding role of teaching and ministering to staff and volunteers. He taught every other week at the ministry base, gave Bible lessons to volunteers, led the men's bible studies for the staff team, and would often lead worship.

His original songs like Israel, You’re Not Alone and Restoration, continue to stir hearts around the world. He also brought Torah teachings through The Heartland Connection podcast, authored the devotional Christians Meet Israel, co-wrote Facing Jerusalem, and developed deep relationships with Orthodox Jewish pioneers in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.

Zac is a student of God's Word and a lifelong learner, currently studying toward a Master of Divinity at The King’s University. He has also completed nine courses through Torah Resource Institute, with studies ranging from Christology and philosophy to rabbinic literature.

Zac is married to Becca. Together, they are raising nine children — five lionhearted boys and four radiant daughters — in the mountains of Samaria. Their home is filled with prayer, laughter, and music.

Through Israel Lighthouse, Zac is continuing the journey he began in the fields of Tennessee and the vineyards of Samaria—equipping Christians to love God’s Word, bless God’s people, and shine God’s light to all nations.

Sorry, Zac, but you are yourself too steeped in the darkness of the world's largest cult to recognize the light when it actually shines on you.  You will only lead your followers to perdition.

You clueless, useless Shomroni Jews had better wake up quick before all of the Land burns beneath your feet.  It's a miracle that the neighboring Arabs have not attacked before now. 

This has been building for 22 years and we have been sounding the warning for 20 of those years.  You can see for yourself what it has become in that time and the plans they have for the future.  Either you stop them and gain the merit, or HKB"H will stop them and you will suffer their fate alongside them, r"l.

The "Base of Operations" for this missionary activity and center of avodah zarah on holy soil is doomed - one way or another.  Maybe the entire yishuv of Har Brachah needs to be put in herem by the rest in an effort to bring them to teshuvah and make an example.  

This is the easiest and least painful way of bringing people to their senses.  What are you waiting for?!!!   

Wake up!!  This is an abominable sin and betrayal of the covenant.  It won't continue to be tolerated.  Judgment is at the gate!!!

The Conditions of the Covenant

17 Menachem Av 5786

Erev Shabbat Kodesh

Parashat Ekev

We just have to fulfill our part of the bargain.  Stone Edition Chumash, Devarim 7.12 - 18...

This shall be the reward when you hearken to these ordinances, and you observe and perform them; Hashem, your God, will safeguard for you the covenant and the kindness that He swore to your forefathers.

He will love you, bless you and multiply you, and He will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your Land; your grain, your wine, and your oil; the offspring of your cattle and the flocks of your sheep and goats, on the Land that He swore to your forefathers to give you.  

You will be the most blessed of all the peoples....

Hashem will remove from you every illness; and all the bad maladies of Egypt that you knew - He will not put them upon you, but He will put them upon all your foes.  

You will devour all the peoples that Hashem, your God, will deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them; you shall not worship their gods, for it is a snare for you.

Perhaps you will say in your heart, "These nations are more numerous than I; how will I be able to drive them out?"

Do not fear them!  You shall remember what Hashem, your God, did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt.

* * * 

Haftarat Ekev, Yeshayahu 49.17...

Your children will hasten to repent, but your spoilers and your destroyers must depart from you.

My commentary:  This says to me that all the actual Jews will repent, but the haters among us - the Erev Rav - will separate from us.

Day In, Day Out - Rampant Destruction

15 Menachem Av 5786

By Wind, Fire, Flood and 'Quake (in the past 24 hours) ... 

God's Great Love For Israel: Forgiveness

15 Menachem Av 5786 

The celebration of TU b'Av began even before we first entered the Land of Israel...

...regarding the 600,000 Jews who were subjected to the penalty of in this wilderness you shall be destroyed (Bemidbar 14:29), fifteen thousand would die every Tisha b'Av.  On the last Tisha b'Av in the wilderness, fifteen thousand men dug their own graves and waited.  But God granted them a reprieve and they survived.

However, when they arose on the morning of that Tisha b'Av, they did not know that they had been spared.  Instead, they concluded that they must have been mistaken in calculating the date.  They therefore lay down in the graves every night for the followiing five nights.  When the fifteenth of Av arrived and they saw the full moon, they knew that their calculations had been correct and realized that since Tisha b'Av had passed, the decree must have been rescinded.  They therefore observed the date as a day of celebration.  (The Book of Our Heritage)

More First Steps: Herem

14 Menachem Av 5786

In line with the title, this is a follow-up to the previous blog post.  There is quite a lot of neglected work that needs to be done before any serious attempt to rebuild the Beit Hamikdash can take place. 

Despite decades of warnings and appeals, there is a viper's nest in the midst of the Shomron that just keeps growing and growing, putting more and more Jews at life risk.  

Please revisit this 2011 article:  Har Bracha residents:  Chr*stians Out!

Har Brachah Chr*stian Visitors Center - Jews Invited

One year ago, HaRav Dov Lior, shlita, issued a psak din: "it is forbidden to cooperate with or accept any support or assistance from the organization "HaYovel."  (See A Decision 20 Years in the Making).

Instantaneously, "Hayovel" was rebranded as "The Israel Guys" and business proceeded as usual.

Despite the firm belief of millions of righteous Jews who live here, Israel is not a Jewish State.  Jews are obligated to observe Torah Law and any purportedly Jewish country would be bound by that same law which, like Rav Lior's psak din, would forbid the establishment of a Chr*stian "base of operations" in the midst of a Jewish yishuv.

However, the secular Western-democratic system that currently holds sway here does not allow us to expel the Chr*stians.  So what do we do?  We go after the Jews who enable them.

As a first step, until we have the proper form of government for the Jewish nation, we have a tool that was used very effectively in the Diaspora.  I propose we make holy use of the herem.  After all, we all want to rebuild the Beit Hamikdash don't we?  Do you really imagine it will stand in the absence of the imposition of Torah Law in society at large?  Surely, this is an appropriate step in the right direction!

Jewish Practices & Rituals: Excommunication

...[T]he term herem ... [indicates] the act of excommunicating people who disobeyed the law or authorities.  If the elders and rabbis of a community believed a person to be disobedient, the offender was punished by being forced into isolation, removed from the community at large.  The excommunication could last anywhere from a day to a lifetime, depending on the urgency of the convicted act. Once the allotted time has elapse the individual may return to the community as long as he repents for his actions.

If my suggestion makes you the least bit queasy or squeamish at the very idea, I don't want to hear anything more from you about Har Habayit construction!  It is not a serious subject for discussion - YET!!  Most unfortunately.
