Separation IS the KEY to Redemption...

...and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying, or is himself deceived, and is only delaying the inevitable.

Erev Rav With A Kippah

They are the ones pushing universal Judaism, teaching Torah to practitioners of avodah zarah, encouraging them to "keep Shabbat," etc.  They are the ones pushing the concept that we share a "Judeo-Chr*stian" culture with the West and it is our duty to save it.  They are the ones pushing the idea of kinship with avodah zarah in the name of the man who stood on one side against, and separated from, the rest of the world in his rejection of it - Avaham Avinu!!

Eisav and Yishmael, with the help of the Erev Rav, are still trying to claim an inheritance which is not theirs.

If you have not already seen this internet "rabbi," allow me to introduce you to Pinchas Taylor...

"Welcome to The Ark, the place where humanity comes together."

The Ark is an ongoing Torah learning program focused on hashkafa, Jewish thought and worldview. It is open to all who want to better their lives through in-depth learning in Torah guiding philosophy. The novelty is that this group is open and encouraged for Jews, non-Jews, and everyone in between. Whatever your religious background may be, members of the Ark can help further shape their spiritual identity through study and our virtual community.  (Source:  The Ark website)

...Rabbi Pinchas Taylor is the Director of the American Faith Coalition. He is an American rabbi, a best-selling author and lecturer, and has spoken across the globe in a wide variety of venues. His books ... are remarkable works of insight and scholarship that delve into the spiritual realm.

Rabbi Taylor has been called the “Celebrity Life Coach” for his work with actors, athletes, and other public figures, and founded “The Ark,” a successful faith-based study and coaching program for people of all backgrounds. Currently, Rabbi Taylor is Director of the American Faith Coalition and a frequent contributor to national news outlets.  (Source:  Youtube Channel)

...The American Faith Coalition is an organization led by Rabbi Pinchas Taylor that promotes biblical truth and Christian values, with a strong emphasis on supporting Israel and combating antisemitism. It's not to be confused with other faith-based advocacy groups like the Faith & Freedom Coalition or TPUSA Faith, though they share similar goals of activating religious communities in politics and defending perceived foundational American virtues rooted in Judeo-Christian principles.

Judeo-Chr*stian (Western) Civilization

Is NOT Jewish!!

In a recent video, Mr. Taylor explains his version of current events and it has just enough truth in it to be dangerous because his ultimate conclusions are the opposite of truth.

...First and foremost, my main message is that the war isn't over. ...I am referring to the civilizational battle against Islamism. ...Now, this is the war that we face, and I think this is the war that we should now be focusing on. Our war against Hamas was only part of a bigger conflict of a bigger war. October 7 was a trigger that unleashed dormant and sometimes camouflaged forces and powers. It boosted the Muslim Brotherhood and their satellite organizations.... They say that they want to dominate and take control of Western countries and that they're not shy in achieving it. ...They're already in control of various American cities and local councils, and they're on the rise, including in New York City.

...in the same way that the victory of Hanukkah had two victories contained in one, there were two battles that were going on. There was the physical war.... But there was also a spiritual element...an ideological element. And that's really the element that's celebrated every single year on Hanukkah when we light the candle. The candle symbolizes light over darkness, Jerusalem over Athens, meaning the ideology of the supernatural god-given Torah over the naturalistic, paganistic view of Greece. And the ideological war was the one that we celebrate on a yearly basis. There is nothing that we do that really commemorates the physical war that was won. The more significant aspect of the war was the spiritual war.

You have a similar thing going on in our world today. You have a physical war that is going on...there's also an ideological war and an ideological war that has been going on long before October 7th,.... ...this is not a religious battle. Jews or Christians or Muslims versus each other. This is an ideological war of civilization versus barbarism. ...recognizing that the goal is the elimination of our civilization of the so-called Judeo-Christian civilization, Western civilization, and supplanting it with a form of radical Islam.  (Source)

In fact, it is very much a religious battle - Torah versus avodah zarah (i.e., everything outside of the bounds of Torah).

The Erev Rav are primarily identified either with Eisav or with Yishmael.  Ultimately, despite their claims, they are not aligned with Torah values.  This is the second reference I've seen this week which seeks to frame this ideological battle (which it is) within the context of Hanukkah even though the Greeks were the forbears of Rome which has already won in the hearts and minds of those who really believe that Western Civilization is compatible with Torah Judaism.

This other article claimed that Hanukkah is the time for Jewish unity and yet Hanukkah is precisely the holiday that emphasizes the need for Jews to separate - those loyal to Hashem from those who claim kinship with avodah zarah.  Back then they were called Hellenists, today they call themselves Judeo-Chr*stians.

The enemies of God who wish to remove Him from the world that He created think that this can be accomplished when the people of God - the Jews - are destroyed.  They tried to murder us all, but found that to be impossible, so their hopes are now centered on mass assimiliation - or "UNITY" - and this is where the Erev Rav are crucial to their plans.  

They make themselves out to be rabbis and "faith leaders" and purposely mislead the ignorant and uninformed.  They are the ones leading the charge to "unite" with avodah zarah.

Basically, any Jew who refuses to abandon Torah and conform to the new unity religion is to be labeled an "extremist" - no different than the "Islamists."

Co-existence Excludes "Extremists"
In the Ideal World of the Abraham Accords

 

 THE REAL IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE IS TO REMAIN SEPARATE FROM THE NATIONS.

Israeli President Herzog on "X" today...

"We stand today at a critical juncture, facing immense challenges.  We must never allow ourselves to be dragged into an internal war of all against all.  We must not waste our strength on delegitimizing one another, instead we must fight the delegitimization directed at us all.  We must stand strong and continue presenting the justice of our path, grounded in the Jewish and democratic values at the heart of Zionism and the State of Israel."

But the labeling of Torah Jews as "extremists" is the most popular and fully approved form of delegitimization there is.  That one is ok.  The Torah has no connection to the "Jewish" State.

With regard to the anti-Torah so-called Jews, it is they who have separated from us not the other way around.  The only way for us to meet them 'in the middle' is to compromise the Torah itself.

We are constrained by the mitzvot and halachah.  They are unconstrained.  They do whatever their hearts desire.  With them, "unity" is just a buzzword meant to control and manipulate us.  When/if they become serious about it, it will be up to them to reconnect with us, to take up the yoke of Torah and be bound to the terms of the covenant with HKB"H.

A final word concerning today's scheduled vote in the Knesset mandating the death penalty for "terrorists" - I am opposed.  There is no way they won't use it against Torah Jews whom they already label as "terrorists" for defending themselves.  And we can only expect that definition to expand over time.  Forget the false cries from the Religious Zionist right-wing about how anyone opposed to this law loves the Arabs.  Even the Sanhedrin refrained from imposing the death penalty after it was exiled from the Chamber of Hewn Stone and removed from Har Habayit.
