Cutting Loose From Our Roots Is A Death Sentence

9 Tammuz 5786

I try to stay informed, but somehow this got past me.  Until now, I had not registered an entity calling itself the October Council.

The October Council is an Israeli activist organization formed by hundreds of bereaved families, former hostages, and other citizens directly affected by the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught.

The council is primarily known for leading a sustained, high-profile public campaign demanding the formation of a formal, independent State Commission of Inquiry to investigate the systemic failures that led to the October 7 massacre.  (Source)

This is what sparked my interest now...

October Council announces day of protest marking 1,000 days of war on July 2     [Shiva Asar b'Tammuz - 17th of Tammuz!]

The October Council announced it will hold a day of protest next Thursday, July 2, marking one thousand days since the start of the war. The day of protest will include ceremonies, demonstrations, protests, convoys, a nationwide moment of silence and a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.

Instead of quiet fasting, contemplation, repenting and internalizing our sins, as well as the sins of our ancestors, as our 3500-years tradition requires, this is what the Zionist State of all its citizens looks like - nothing "Jewish" about it at all!! 

Yes, there is a split in the nation and it developed according to a plan by the rebels against Hashem and His Torah.  But the religious are not to blame.  It is these who purposely go a different way - their own selfish way - and thereby create this division which did not exist before.  

They have the gall to call the faithful-to-Torah religious public to give up the Torah and join them in the name of unity of brothers!!  Surely, they know the significance of this day, but they must strip it of everything truly meaningful and substitute something newfound and created in their own image and according to their own goyishe "values."

They are not our brothers because they have removed themselves from the covenant that binds us together as brothers!!!!

The greatest tragedy of these past 1000 days since October 7, 2023 is that the same people still have not learned the true meaning behind it.  Their rebellious hearts are not prepared to accept it.  It would mean humbling themselves before their God and this they are not prepared to do.  The ego of I never did anything to deserve this is too strong.  It implies either that there is no God in charge or that He is unjust in His ways.  Either way they condemn themselves and others who follow in their wake.
