Not-so-secret US military involvement in the Jewish State

5 Elul 5773

The above pictured jobs ad appeared last week on the Jerusalem - Anglo website Janglo.  When it was brought to my attention, I was like "What?  Another American base being built in Israel?  Are they planning to take over or something?"  I'd heard in the past that there were at least five, one of which was supposed to be a massive underground facility.  So, out of curiosity, I googled it and found the following:

Secret US Military Bases In Israel Exposed

January 3, 2013. Tel Aviv. How many secret US military bases are there in Israel that the American people don’t know about? Six…wait, seven…no, eight. It seems the more research one does, the more secret US bases one finds in the Jewish State. Of the 8 known current and future bases, none is garnering more questions, from Congress as well as the American people, than the mysterious new US facility in Israel named, oddly enough, Base 911.

...recent discoveries and disclosures by the US Army Corps of Engineers show that the US has a larger military presence in Israel than most Americans are aware. [Or most Israelis, I'll warrant.]

This past summer, in response to sanctions and threatening rhetoric from Washington and Israel, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard warned American officials that their secret US military bases in Israel weren’t a secret. Iranian leaders insisted that should the US or Israel launch an unprovoked attack upon Iran, the Persian-Islamic State would retaliate against not only Israeli military bases, but all 6 US military bases in Israel as well.

...Reaching out to an unnamed diplomat, the outlet quotes the official confirming the existence of multiple secret US military bases in Israel. “American military bases in the occupied territories are considered secret and most of them are underground,” the diplomat said, “These bases are known by codes ‘Base 51’ which houses ammunition, ‘Base 53’ which is located in an Israeli Air Force base, ‘Base 54’ is a hospital close to Tel Aviv used in emergency situations, and Bases ‘55’ and ‘56’ are used as ammunition and armaments reserves.”

Under the US Foreign Military Sales program, American military contractors and the US military itself have participated in the construction of a number of secret military bases in Israel over the past few years. In 1998, Israel and the US launched a $500 million construction project to build military facilities, mostly in the Negev Desert, allowing IDF forces to rapidly deploy throughout the West Bank.

Another secret US-Israeli military construction effort was documented in a commercial magazine called Engineering in Europe. The trade industry publication described the US construction of 3 military bases in Israel, built to house and support 20,000 troops. According to the outlet, the Israeli Air Force eventually moved into one of the bases after the US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a 2.5 mile long runway, 100 accompanying buildings and more than 10 miles of roads around the area.

Coming as a surprise to most Americans, the US Army Corps of Engineers actually has 3 offices in Israel due to the massive amount of American military construction in the Jewish State. In fact, the Corps makes no secret of its efforts on behalf of the Israeli military. Past Army Corps documents reveal that just over the past 2 years, the US has constructed $30 million in Air Force hangars at Nevatim Air Force Base and $20 million on a project to construct Air Force Bases to house Israel’s unmanned Eitan aerial drones.

...Site 911

The Washington Post was the first US news outlet to expose the existence of a new US military base in Israel. Calling it a “mysterious construction project in Israel”, the publication goes on to marvel at the curious name given to the site by US officials - ‘Site 911’.

The Post quotes US Army Corps of Engineers documentation in describing the newest US-Israeli base in Israel called ‘Site 911’. Located at an Israeli Air Force base near Tel Aviv, the 5-level, underground facility is expected to take more than 2 years to construct. According to the Corps’ building plans, one level will contain a large auditorium. Another will house classrooms. And a third level will contain a secret laboratory protected by shock and radiation resistant doors. Each of the top three floors is designed to be 41,000 square feet, with the remaining, lowest 2 floors being smaller.

Construction notices for Site 911 contain a number of security-related rules. As is typical in the Jewish State, Israelis of Palestinian ethnicity are barred from working for the project’s contractors or subcontractors. These employees must be either Israeli citizens, or citizens of specifically listed countries such as the US, Canada, most of Western Europe and even Venezuela and China. The US and Israeli work orders categorically state, “The employment of Palestinians is also forbidden.”

Other mandates for the construction of the secret, underground facility include the existence of only “one gate only for both entering and exiting the site”, “no exit or entrance to the site shall be allowed during work hours except for supply trucks”, and “the collection of information of any type whatsoever related to base activities is prohibited”.

Construction of Site 911 is expected to cost roughly $100 million. Investigators, including the report from the Washington Post, confirm additional secret US military bases in Israel. One secret construction project discovered by the publication is located in Israel and is also expected to cost $100 million. This newest base will begin construction in summer 2013 and like ‘Site 911’, construction contractors “must have a US secret or equivalent Israeli security clearance for the project, which is expected to take almost 2.5 years to complete.”

The purpose of Site 911 is still not known, aside from speculation. When the Post contacted the Pentagon for details or an explanation, US military officials referred the questions to the Israeli Defense Ministry.

Exclusive: Japan nuclear body says radioactive water at Fukushima an 'emergency'

TOKYO - Highly radioactive water seeping into the ocean from Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is creating an "emergency" that the operator is struggling to contain, an official from the country's nuclear watchdog said on Monday.

This contaminated groundwater has breached an underground barrier, is rising toward the surface and is exceeding legal limits of radioactive discharge, Shinji Kinjo, head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) task force, told Reuters.

Countermeasures planned by Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) are only a temporary solution, he said.

The "Hordes" Are Preparing Their "Attack"

1 Elul 5773
Rosh Chodesh

Anyone who reads here regularly, knows that the Xian world wants Israel badly and they know how far the inroads have been made in preparation for taking it. You don't need to hear it from Binyamin Golden:

...the Christians also want this place. They want the Temple Mount as well as Mount Zion, Hashem should protect us. But, Mashiach is not theirs! And they can't take it by force. Hashem will defeat them. There's nothing to worry about.

One thing you do have to know about the Xians is that to them, there is nothing holy. That's how they can create a logo like the one pictured above that shows the Western Wall of the Holy Temple connected to the Alamo, a Texas shrine, which was originally a Catholic mission. (I made a scale model of the entire complex for a 7th grade Texas history class.)

I find it more than a little ironic that this Catholic (Roman) mission should have been chosen to represent the Eisavian Xians.  Subconciously, they understand who they really are - still trying to snatch back the birthright from Ya'aqov.

Texans for Israel Blog - The Latest News and Information Surrounding the Support Of Israel

You Need To Go To Israel - And You Need To Do It Soon
Posted by Mike Isley on Wed, Jun 26, 2013

It's very important that you think about this now! The next three years are going to be very important for God's people. You need to go to Israel to experience it for yourself. The time for thinking about it has passed. Now is the time to go.

Here is some motivation for you! Jesus wants you to go to Israel. This is not the blue-eyed white guy Jesus that you see in old paintings. This is the Jewish Jesus who was a Rabbi, who kept Kosher, and who taught the Torah. [sic] Israel was his place of human birth and the land that God promised the people of Israel will dwell forever. It is where the Messiah will return. It is where you need to go.

The World. It is changing!! I hate to break the news to you but you are getting old! Every birthday brings another year to an end. Waiting another year makes no sense. What is really keeping you from getting off your butt and going to Israel??!! The answer is: Not a darn thing!

This weekend I was with one of the greatest groups of people on the planet: HaYovel!! Look these guys up on the Internet. Tommy Waller and his family have been helping and supporting the small independent farmers in Israel for the past nine years. They do this with education, tourism and activism. I consider the Waller family some of my best friends!!

Biblical prophecy begins and ends in the heart of the Promised Land. If you want to be part of that Biblical prophecy, you need to go to Israel. You can do something big for the Lord by going to harvest this year or next. Get a plan together and get going!!

I have been on harvest and it changed my life!! I have drunk the wine from the hills of Samaria. That is the wine that, one day, the Messiah will drink at the great reunion in Jerusalem for all His Believers!! You have to experience this for yourself.

In Matthew 26:29 Jesus says “But I say to you that I shall not drink again from this fruit of the vine until the day in which I shall drink it with you new in the Kingdom of my Father.” What if you were among the workers, who picked the grapes, of the winery from which the Messiah picks that big bottle of wine??!! Now, that would be kind of cool!! Have you ever thought about that??

I am telling you that now is the time when you need to think about it. It all starts with going to the Promised Land. It is the land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is the place where you need to visit to become a part of emerging Biblical prophecy.

Join Texans for Israel. Let us be your connection to what is happening in Israel. Let us bring you closer to the promised land and the chosen people.

They would have no foothold in our land whatsoever, if certain Jewish community leaders and rabbis were not assisting them.  (Some of them are mentioned in the following article.)

Binyamin - "Sheker Rules the World"

28 Menachem Av 5773

(Message from the autistic young man, Binyamin Golden on Erev Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av 5773)

I am very satisfied that davka now you wanted very much to speak with me. I felt your hearts that are almost exploding, chas v'shalom, from the suffering of the olam hazeh and from the yearning for the complete redemption and for our righteous Mashiach.

I only want to tell you, in order to encourage all of you, that everything is very close.  The redemption is very close.  The complete redemption. And Mashiach needs to be revealed, with God's help, in the near future. I request from every true Jew, from every Jew who has love for Hashem and love for Am Yisrael, whose heart is broken and whose eyes cry over the suffering of the people who love HaKadosh Baruch Hu, whose message is that it's really just a little bit longer to the revelation of Mashiach, with God's help, and really in just a little bit will be the complete redemption with the Beit HaMikdash.

I want to say to you that we are already deep within the tunnel and following more and more darkness and already almost not seeing the light behind us, and in front of us more darkness.  But, don't be afraid. For servants of Hashem and to servants of Hashem, there is nothing from which to fear!

And I want to say to you like this: That there will be huge acts in the world in the nearest future.  In general, the whole situation in this world of ours, in the last years - simply amazing.  There's no other word for it. Maybe there is a stronger word, but amazing - it's amazing!  It's even possible to say that if a Jew knows all the truth - it won't be just amazing, it will be 'shock,' it will be trauma.  Because the-truth-of-the-lie, that is to say, when we understand how much sheker there is and how deep is the sheker within our lives - it can really bring a person to shock, to depression, etc.

The situation is getting worse every minute.  The difficult situation is expanding at the speed of a lightning bolt. From person to person. Including the Jews. The spiritual downfall is unbelievable. The fall of humanity is also unbelievable but it's a fact. And more and more, gentiles as well as Jews are beginning to see the truth. And it's difficult for an ethical person to accept this truth. Because it's saying that the majority of people in the world, they're nothing more than evil animals, or just boorish animals. But, not like we dreamed, not like they dreamed this generation would be, a rectified generation, a generation with many higher ideals than the previous ones, a generation with great and very strong technology. A generation that doesn't have sickness, that doesn't have any evil, everything is good, it's all excellent. Everything is progressing in every direction and surely and certainly in terms of human justice.

But, we're seeing just the opposite. Everything is going down. Cruelty and wickedness are controlling the world now. Only the greatly wealthy are ruling. Only a small group of people are making efforts to succeed in gaining control over the world. And HaKadosh Baruch Hu, meantime, is giving them success. Once, what was clearly black is now white.  What was blue will become green, and what was yellow has turned into orange. Everything is mixed up and crazy. What was once left will become right.  We don't know where we are standing, if we're on the ground or in the sky. If we're under water, chas v'shalom, or upon the waves. We don't know where we are. We get up in the morning - forget which day it is. Get up with difficulty, with back pain, headaches, eyes swollen, all kinds of things, even to get up - it's a problem. To wash hands - it's a problem. To say 'modeh ani' - it's a problem. To be dragged out to the beit knesset - it's a problem, to pray with closeness to HKB"H - this is the biggest problem. But, we have to continue to make efforts and to fight against these feelings and to really come close to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, because He will save us, only Him, nothing more.

And not to be afraid!  It will be very, very scary, like we've said to you, in [Israel] it will be less scary, but nevertheless scary, in [Israel] they won't die like outside the land, that's not to say that they won't die.  In [Israel] there is still, baruch Hashem, more holiness. And in all the other lands, almost all the presence of the Shekhina is already not there, only here in [Israel] is there holiness.  Even that secularism dirties everything, because despite that they contaminate everything, but underneath this mess arises holiness. And when the right moment arrives - the ground itself will explode, and every upper layer of human contamination - will fall and disappear.

And this moment in history - I wouldn't want to be anyplace else. Only in the Land of Israel. And preferably in Jerusalem. As difficult as it will be - there is nothing else like Jerusalem. There's nothing else like the Land of Israel, there's nothing else like the Temple Mount. Not in the whole world.  It's the center.

And it's the reason the nations want this place.  Not just the Muslims, the Christians also want this place. They want the Temple Mount as well as Mount Zion, Hashem should protect us.  But, Mashiach is not theirs!  And they can't take it by force.  Hashem will defeat them. There's nothing to worry about.  But, meantime, they are trying to take over on the Temple Mount as well as on Mount Zion. And also other places which are holy to the Jews.  Therefore, I want to say to you that it appears that the Arabs want and that they are taking over, but really, it's the Christians. And not the Arabs. They're only using the Arabs in the meantime.  But, it's the Christians - in particular the Catholics. Because they want to take over.  They can want, but it won't help them!

They feel already that they are very successful, big time, huge!  They took a few gentiles and Jewish-gentiles to write all kinds of movies in Hollywood, to produce all kinds of screenplays and they took out, in a big way, tens of big movies with the investment of a lot of money, for the sake of announcing to the whole world in advance what they are planning to do. When they show it as a movie, then it would appear as something funny, entertainment.  Because it's so crazy, it couldn't be real. But when this wild imagination is realized, then it's simply amazing.  And it's difficult to believe that there can be a thing like this in the world, supposedly -'civilized.' But it's real. The crazies are in control! And there were many righteous ones previously who said explicitly that this generation will be insane. And this is worse than insane. It's even above all the crazy things that we know today.

Here and there were crazies. The first taste of madness that was clear to us in this generation was Hitler, ym"sh. But, we thought he was just happenstance that occurred for all kinds of reasons, but that wasn't so at all. Because Hitler was planned. And everything was planned. And what's happening today - he's a continuation of the Nazis, of the communists, of all the evil ones. And it's all a war against HKB"H, everything against HKB"H, we should never know from such. And these crazies, these mentally ill, that are like the managers of the crazy house - they will fall!  They will fall in the end together with all the insanities and only the truth will remain. And in the midst of the truth - Am Yisrael.  Because Am Yisrael lives, Am Yisrael is truth!

And whoever is not with the truth - is not part of Am Yisrael. Whoever really goes with the Sheker, not who 'thinks' maybe confused and etc., but whoever really goes with the Sheker - he's not with Am Yisrael, he's not part of Am Yisrael. The Jew - can't unite completely with the falsehood. A true Jew, somewhere he has consciousness of the truth.  Even if he's not aware of it. But, whoever goes with the Sheker - then he doesn't belong to Am Yisrael.  Even if he had a brit milah and he goes with a long beard and long curly peyot, it won't help!  He's not a part of Am Yisrael. And even if he receives smichah and he's a big rav, it doesn't matter!  If he's not with the truth, if he's completely with the faslehood, he's not a Jew. He doesn't belong to Am Yisrael.

Therefore, our generation is the most difficult generation.  It's difficult for us to get up in the morning, and to continue our lives because the spiritual pressure, the pressure of the yetzer-hara, the blackness that we are breathing, living this every day, every day, it brings us down, it brings down our will to live, to continue and even to pray. But, it's not because we don't believe, it's not because we don't want to. It's like a man who has shackles on his feet and on his hands. They sat him on a chair and tied him with a rope. The head believes, everything believes, but feels paralyzed and hard to move.

But, it will pass and we need to fight against the shackles and against the ropes, and forcefully get up on our feet, and forcefully move ourselves daily in the direction of holiness and truth. The holiness - this is truth and the truth - it's holiness.

Therefore, don't despair.  If it's so impossible to pray, I'm speaking to women now, then at least say blessings all day, modah ani and kriyat shema. For the men - forcefully push yourself to go to minyan and do what you need to, and learn as much as possible. Because the end is almost here and then we'll rise up - up and not have to worry about the ropes that are dragging us down. Now, grasp the rope that connects us with HaKadosh Baruch Hu.  And don't let go of it, no matter what. With teeth hold on to it, with hands and feet, hold on to it.  And we won't fall from it.  We will hold on with all our strength, and under absolutely no circumstances let go of it. And if it doesn't work, and we feel that it is impossible to hold on, then we will tie it around us so we can't fall, no matter what.

Then, then will come the relief, will come the great and awesome day, we will receive our righteous Mashiach. Even should there be many, should there be false messiahs, we will know the truth. We will see the real Mashiach and we'll know that he's for real.  Because we're looking for truth. Because we're already familiar with the falsehood and we reject it.  We will recognize the truth.  All the gentiles will try to bring their messiah. The Christians as well as the Buddhists as well as the Muslims, whoever you want. But only the true and righteous Mashiach will receive the crown straight from Heaven. And all liars will disappear. Oy!  How much I am looking forward to that day!  How fed up I am with the clothing of a fool, but better the "fool's clothing" than to suffer what you 'normal' people are suffering. I nevertheless see more closely the truth.  I pity you all very much, and pray for every true Jew, male or female, boy and girl, that they will merit to receive our righteous Mashiach with mercy and with joy, "easy as pie," and we will merit to bring korbanot to the Third Beit HaMikdash, Amen.

OUR "BEST FRIEND"

28 Menachem Av 5773

As the old saying goes, "With friends like this, who needs enemies?"

Obama 'Leaking Info on Israeli Strikes in Syria'

The U.S. intelligence community has been leaking information on Israeli air strikes in Syria, and U.S. President Barack Obama is behind the leaks, according to a report in the World Tribune.

Diplomats told the Tribune that the Obama administration has enabled the U.S. intelligence community to disclose details of Israeli military operations against the armed forces under Syrian President Bashar Assad. These leaks include reporting Israeli air and naval strikes on advanced Iranian and Russian weapons that arrived in 2013.

“This is a decision that could come only from Obama,” a diplomat said. “[T]his reflects his dismay over the Israeli operations, which the president believes could result in a regional war.”

“The leaks will continue because there is a lot of resentment within the U.S. intelligence community over Israeli assessments regarding such countries as Egypt, Iran and Syria,” the diplomat added.

US to media: Israel struck Latakia arsenal

US officials early Saturday, July 13 named Israel as responsible for the July 5 air strikes against the big arms depot at a Syrian naval base in the Alawite port city of Latakia. Dispelling conflicting reports, three US officials asserted that Israel had conducted the air strikes for demolishing the advanced Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship missiles stored there.

Dominance of the Alien Culture : Parshat Re'eh

26 Menachem Av 5773

War of Values: Halacha vs. Democracy - Rabbi Meir Kahane & Rav Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane

You shall break apart their altars, you shall smash their pillars; and their sacred trees shall you burn in the fire; their carved images shall you cut down; and you shall obliterate their names from that place. (Deut. 12:3)

If there should stand up in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dream (...) saying, “Let us follow gods of others that you did not know and we shall worship them!” - do not hearken to the words of that prophet , for Hashem, your G-d is testing you (...) And that prophet and that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death for he had spoken perversion against Hashem your G-d (...) and you shall destroy the evil from your midst. (Deut. 13:4-6)

Today's alien culture has replaced idolatry, one more reason G-d promised not to let Israel dwell among the nations. In the battle of foreign culture against G-d's concepts of morality and faith, with the constant struggle to distort the Divine truth, no distortion is more widespread or dangerous than that which stems from “moral” opposition to G-d's concepts by the many evildoers who consider themselves far more righteous than their Creator. In our day, such persons have proliferated due to the foreign culture which has penetrated G-d's sanctuary. Ramban warned about them in his commentary: “'You shall consume all the peoples that the L-rd your G-d shall deliver unto you. Your eye shall not pity them' (Deut. 7:16): It says, 'Your eye shall not pity them.' This conforms with, 'Taking pity on the wicked is cruel' (Prov. 12:10). Such behavior is not good but evil.” Our sages' words provide us with true guidance. I have previously mentioned the false prophet, of whom it says (Deut. 13:6), “That prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he spoke perversion against the L-rd your G-d.”Here Or HaChaim comments, “Sifri explains that 'speaking perversion' refers to falsifying G-d's words.” Or HaCHaim continues, “And for his falsification he dies.” This teaches that whoever falsifies, perverts or distorts G-d's word has done an unbearable sin.

In the war declared against G-d by those who rebel against His word, on the one hand they brazenly question G-d's nature and infinite greatness. As King David said, “The fool says in his heart, 'There is no G-d'. They have dared to fashion their own culture, their own way of thinking, their own approach to morality, while scornfully ridiculing G-d: “They say, 'How does G-d know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?'” (Ps. 73:11).On the other hand, these rebels, and all others for whom the laws and moral code of G-d are so unacceptable as to be tortuous, falsify the truth, and the result is distortion. The impure have entered the sanctuary of G-d's moral code and made their own rules, with light being turned into darkness, darkness into light, and falsehood overriding truth. Of all their distortions, none is more dangerous than that applied to the terms “good” and “evil”.

The liberal west categorically negates certain concepts – i.e., vengeance, hate and violence – almost a priori, while Judaism speaks of “a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace,” with the need and commandment to love the good and hate evil, to seek peace but to go to war against the wicked, with vengeance, at the proper time, an obligation, in order to show that there is a Judge and there is justice in the world. The liberal west speaks of the most important thing being life itself and thus moves easily into a concept of better anything than dead, while Judaism speaks of the quality of life, with the yardstick being the doing of G-d's will in life and the commandment being to give up one's life if necessary in order to obey certain of G-d's laws. But above all, Judaism differs from liberal and non-liberal western values in that the foundation upon which it rests is that of “the yoke of Heaven”, the acceptance of G-d's law and values and concepts as truth, without testing them in the fires of one's own knowledge, choice, desires, and acceptance. One does not weigh and mull over Jewish values as presented in Torah authority. One does not test them to see if they are acceptable to the taste, sweet to the palate. One does not test them by his own standards to see if he believes them to be just or decent or merciful or good. It is the Almighty Who created the world and the word, Who created finite and stumbling man, Who created justice and decency and mercy and good. That which He created is just and decent and merciful and good, and we accept it because of that. It is this yoke of Heaven, the setting aside of our will before His because He is truth and His Torah is truth, that is the fundamental of Judaism.

The values of Judaism struggle to the death with the secular, gentilized, foreign, corrupt ones of the Hellenists. This is the real struggle – the war of ideas, of values, of civilization. Will it be the victory of Judaism with its specific, separate, distinct views of holiness and purity, or the triumph of the Hebrew-speaking gentiles whose self-hate, a twisted product of cancerous ego, leads them to reject and stomp upon Judaism of discipline and embrace instead the malignancy of gentilization with its license, total self-indulgence, and self-destruction? The war is being fought over the soul and destiny of the people and state. A people rejects its chosenness and specialness, its sanctity and elevation, its separation from the impurities of the nations, their profanations and abominations. It pants after the gentile, it seeks to be as all the nations. The Jews against the Hellenists. The real struggle.

[As Rav Meir Kahane's son Rav Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane wrote in the Darka shel Torah Parasha series]: The Jewish Supreme Court that has arisen and begun to enact legislation against Torah in a frantic effort to forcefully transform the Jewish People to Hebrew-speaking gentiles. They attempt to accomplish this by laying down the following ground rules: The choseness of the Jewish People and all other halacha that discriminates between Jew and gentile is “racism”, for it opposes the basic democratic principle of equality for all men, regardless of race, creed, color or religion. (Even the abolition of the Law of Return is in their sights.) In addition, any religious legislation can be rejected because it negates the basic democratic principle of the “individuals right to freedom”. But most importantly, the Hellenists of today are demanding that democracy take precedence over everything, including the Halacha. By use of these seemingly harmless axioms, the State of Israel is eradicating from itself all Jewish content. In these “progressive” times, there are not even “Jews”, only “Israelis”. The implications are quite serious. No longer can we say: “Well, they are tinokot shenishbu (like children who are totally unaware or ignorant of their Jewish heritage). In the meantime, we'll sit and learn Torah and gather strength and numbers until the day comes when we can change the situation and make Torah the law of the land.” Those days are over, because the Hellenists are not waiting. They are very actively exerting all their influence to establish democracy as the law of the land and ultimate value of society, banning anyone who does not succumb to them 100%.

[Dear reader, please note how this, written more than 10 years ago, fits our very situation today:] Already they forcibly prohibit us from learning “forbidden” sections of Torah. Fact: A rabbi sits in jail today on the charge of racism for a halachic essay he wrote. Rabbis are being investigated daily and soon will be jailed under suspicion that they had the “audacity” to tell their students not to follow orders which negate Torah law (and let us not even mention what will be the fate of those who actually carry out the rabbis' words). Yes, we are at the climax of a cultural war. It is “us” or “them”. This is the first time in history that the Jews themselves have laid down decrees against halacha! And it is not relevant if it is against the entire Torah, ten halachot, or even one halacha! What are the rabbis doing? The buzz word these days is “unity”. Fortunately for us, the Hellenists aren't interested. They fully understand that before there is any reconciliation, there must be a framework of common ground from which to work. And if that basis is not the unequivocal commitment to democracy – (i.e. that it supersedes the halacha) then there will be no reconciliation. And so they continue to lead the rabbis into tiny investigation rooms, hoping to squeeze out of them some quote from the Talmud by Rav Ashi, in order to strong-arm them: Unity? Solidarity? No problem! As long as we dictate the rules. Take the pig and say it: Democracy over halacha!

Obviously, no rabbi will accept this. We must realize that the game is over. We can no longer evade the contradiction of Jewishness and Democracy that the State of Israel was schizophrenically based upon. There is an unbridgeable gap, for it is a conflict whereby the entire premise of each philosophy totally contradicts the other. The rabbis have a mighty mission ahead. It is incumbent upon each and every one of them to get up and declare: In the same way that Jews rebuffed the harsh edicts of the Greeks and Romans, and Rabbi Akiva was even skinned alive for this principle, so too must we stand in defiance when Israeli democracy decides that certain parts of Torah cannot be learned. These are days of religious persecution, and we must cling to the path of Rabbi Akiva – to openly learn and teach all the forbidden laws and to proclaim unequivocally that we will disobey any law that forces us to transgress the Torah. Because Torah supersedes democracy.

A person's whole life is a test to see whether he will accept the yoke of Heaven and of mitzvot. There is nothing precious that does not exact a heavy price of him who wishes to acquire it.

Note from the blogger:  They silenced Rav David Meir and they silenced Rav Binyamin Ze'ev, Hashem yinakem damam, but they will never be able to silence all of their students!

Shabbat shalom!

"Pride Parade" Right Now in Holy Yerushalayim

25 Menachem Av 5773

Yes, it's that time again. With the power of the Erev Rav regime behind the Sodomites, the holy people of the holy city cannot put a stop to this obscenity. And then, I wonder how this yearly desecration of all that is holy weighs up in Hashem's accounting against the weekly desecration of the Holy Shabbat or the daily desecration by the "prostitute parade" of naked women walking the public streets.

And it's ALL about "pride."  It's about EGO over Hashem, God forbid! "I want what I want and I do not care who it hurts or what God thinks about it."

WAKE UP, sleeping neshamot!!  Hashem is suffering each and every hour because of OUR sins!!

Rosh Chodesh Elul is right around the corner.  Make a date with destiny right now and determine that by Rosh Hashanah, you will have done complete teshuva and turned your life around!!!

Start by ridding yourself of the most evil of character traits - the sin of "pride."

"And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted on that day." (Yeshayahu 2.17)

Either we will do it or Hashem will do it for us.
