Rosh Chodesh Bet
Who here does not understand the symbolism exhibited on this mezuza case on sale at a popular Jerusalem department store?
It's the Christian symbol of the New Testament's "One New Man" - Jew (menorah) and Christian (fish) joined together. Each loses his former individuality and becomes instead a hybrid - Judeo-Christian - which finds common ground in modern Zionism and is often exemplified by the combining of the US and Israeli flags.
[See further HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.]
This is Hellenism for the 21st century. It's a celebration of assimilation and the ultimate "final solution." And it's becoming ubiquitous in the State of Israel.
The "State" of Israel NO LONGER EXISTS. Proverbial Seventy Years OVER. Born 1949. Terminated 2019. 1949-2019 (or 1948-2018)

ReplyDeleteIsraelis do not know this symbolism. The truth is that I didn't notice it at all. Real sneaky or stupid
ReplyDeleteAs English speakers, I believe this is one of our missions (no pun intended). We also have more experience in dealing with Christians.
DeleteIt is often English speakers who are feeding Hebrew speaking rabbis information about "Christian friends." It is up to us to combat this.
When Christians from Korean or from wherever are being "nice" or singing on Ben Yehudah Street in Jerusalem, we need to explain in Hebrew what is really going on, and share our knowledge and experience of their strategies.
This is even worse than the historic Hellenism of our Chanukah story. This is the literal desecration of all that is holy, The Greeks had wanted to throw away our Torah way of life and become like them, but this is an unimaginable blasphemy, replacing H' with literal avoda zora. The only silver lining is that it's gotten so, so low, Moshiach has to be here already! Please H', al t'acher!
ReplyDeleteWell, no, you don't get any lower than desecrating the Holy Temple in the most horrible way. But, I do get your point and it does have merit.
DeleteAre the only ones fighting this are: Chabad, Breslov, and some Rabbis that you post videos from? What can we do besides Scream "Missionary" on the bus, then they run off the bus like roaches?
ReplyDeleteSha"S occasionally fights against them, as do Hassidei Gur,...sometimes, like in Arad, and have gotten beaten up over it, too. Yad leAchim has limited resources. Frustrating, to say the least.
DeleteTwenty years into this, the only rabbi I know speaking out about it is Rabbi Yehudah HaCohen Richter.
DeleteChabad, Breslov??? How do you figure?
I can tell you three rabbis in particular who have enabled these Christians; who have been instrumental in their success to date; and who continue at this very moment to push them on to greater heights: "Rabbi" Jeremy Gimpel, "Rabbi" Ari Abramowitz" and "Rabbi" Eliezer Melamed. May they reap what they have sown.
DeleteI'm glad you used the term "Final Solution," although I am sure that some co-dependent, "Hasbara" Jews may be offended.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind mentioning the branch of this store selling this? Did you or anyone mention this to them what it means?
As your readers know, we have been seeing this symbol around for quite some time now, store owners making excuse, even claiming that their rabbis tell them it's ok to sell such products.

I didn't see it myself. The picture was taken by a family member who saw it at the Max Stock in Talpiot.
DeleteCompare it to ships starting to sail. They charted a course, all at a similar starting point. I.E. Chabad, and say, Satmar, started off at a similar point. At that time, you might have had people from all these groups being aware of somewhat similar things, which may have been of interest back in the 1940s and 50s, when life was slow-paced enough to allow for overlap of interests across groups.
ReplyDeleteBut now, decades after that era, the "ships" have sailed on widely divergent courses from each other, I.E. the various subgroups are by now miles apart from each other.
So Chabad might be aware of phenomena such as the attempted mating of "judaic-xtian" values, whereas the ultra-orthodox are inside such a sheltered society, that they haven't the slightest interest in such esoteric concepts. It's like a foreign language to them, and to many of the rest of us, for that matter.
Also some people and/or cultures are b'teva more interested in lofty idea's and ideology, while others are more interested in bottom-line practical ideas and practical tachlis. Truth tell, i myself am more interested in practical tachlis, because i've been in survival mode for a long time already.
M.M.
This has nothing to do with this post..A recent class of R. Mizrachi he said that due to the coronavirus we may experience food shortages in the future and he said to stock up now.. If I remember correctly the Autistics said the time before arrival of Mashiach there will be food shortage in the world and to stock up.. Anyway you could find that post?
ReplyDeleteNo, it would be too difficult as they said it so often, with regard to wars, Nibiru, etc. They said along with several rabbis that we should always have two weeks worth of food and water on hand for a time when it might be difficult to lay hands on supplies. Batteries, candles, personal care items, medicines. Imagine what you would need to have on hand to sustain you for two weeks to a month if you could not leave your home or there was a run on the grocery and the shelves would be bare for that same time period. And stock accordingly. Pretend that electric and water supplies to your house might also be disrupted. What would you need to have on hand to manage without it. It's unrealistic to suppose that you could do this for a longer period of time than 2 weeks to a month, especially for a large family. At some point you have to know that Hashem will supply all your needs.
