    I have convinced our Inspirational Book Study Group to read “The Rabbi of 84th. Street,” and I am excited to hear their feedback. I just loved reading the book and would dearly love to meet Rabbi Haskel Besser.

  2. Angela Carovinci says:

    I am reading this book for the second time…………….When asked by the author, “Why do you read so much (referring to the Torah/Talmud)?”
    Rabbi Besser’s response:
    “To know,to understand and to be a better person.”
    Warren Kozak: “What do you look for in these written pages?”
    Rabbi:”The truth.”

    And so, also in the pages of The Rabbi of 34th. Street, I find the truth–preaching and teaching.

    PROPHET ELIJAH WAS HERE; THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOLOCAUST; THE TWO MESSIAH´S AND THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
    The French-born, Hebrew prophet, Michel de Notre-Dame came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for the Second Coming of Christ. He converted to Catholic Christian at the age of 9 with his entire family; and later on he Latinized his name to NOSTRADAMUS so that the Protestants that he knew would be in power did not destroy his prophecies. Nobody has understood his prophecies because he cursed the ignorant, the profane, those that dealt in the occult or astrology that got near his writings; and so far only people that fall into those categories have interpreted his writings and that is why no one has discovered that he came in the spirit of Elijah, the prophet to prepare the way for the Second Coming of Christ.
    Nostradamus foretold that 500 years later, he that was an ornament during his time, will give such clarity that for that century he will make them very happy. Born in 1503, five hundred years later means that after 2003 the people will finally know the true interpretation of his prophecies. He was Jewish and he wrote for the Jewish people. He foretold World War II and the Holocaust:
    IN HIS EPISTLE to Henry II, Nostradamus confirms what Mary said at Fatima; that World War II was a punishment from God because Mother Earth failed to produce spiritual fruits. Then at her age of death (Last Days) Mother Earth would produce THREE MALES THAT CAUSED WORLD WAR II; “AND ONE FEMALE given for the preservation of the CHURCH the dominator of it (the Roman Catholic Church) falling into the Pagan sect of the new unbelievers (Protestants), and will have two children, one from faithfulness, and the other from unfaithfulness, by the confirmation of the Catholic Church.” “The ancient monarchy (Davidic) shall not be transferred, and the third inundation of human blood (Jewish holocaust) shall happen” (Take note of this).
    The three males are: “the first shall possess the furious crowned lions, holding their paws upon the escutcheon.” He is Winston Churchill. World War II started when England declared war on Germany due to economic reasons: Germany was crowding the British out of their Latin American markets and the British economy began to fall.
    “The second, well attended by the Latin’s, will go so deep among the lions (British), that a second trembling and furious descent will be made, to get upon the Pyrenees Mountains” Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The third one would be Stalin.
    There are several prophecies concerning the Jewish Holocaust and Nostradamus blames President Roosevelt for it:
    1) “For deeds, public blood shall be spilled; that shall not far from high heaven; But for a long time it will not be heard of; The spirit of one will come to testify.” President Roosevelt was responsible for the Holocaust. The German economy was in ruins and the Jewish people controlled the economy; so the Germans wanted to get rid of the Jewish people; and Ambassador Joseph Kennedy (President Kennedy’s father) in good terms with the Germans had conceived a plan to save the Jewish people relocating them into unpopulated areas of the world (Australia and New Zealand) agreeable to the Germans; but a leading U.S. magazine published the plan with the caption that if the plan was carried out, it would take Joseph Kennedy to the White House. Roosevelt, put in power by the Rockefellers Standard Oil, called Ambassador Kennedy to the White House, asked him to resign his post and in exchange he would get 25 cents in the sale of every bottle of whisky sold in the U.S., or a fortune for the Kennedy family. Ambassador Kennedy accepted FDR’s offer but hated him for it because he was an ambitious Irish man. FDR IMMEDIATELY ANNOUNCED THAT HIS SECRETARY OF STATE CORDELL HULL WOULD BE THE ONLY PERSON SPEAKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF THE REFUGEES (Jews). In other word, FDR poured cold water on Amb. Kennedy’s plan to save the Jews from the Holocaust; and left open only the “ultimate solution door.” Nostradamus says that their blood will not go far from high heaven; meaning their blood hangs over USA’s skies asking justice from God. Now it should be easy to understand 2 and 3.
    2) “When the lame man (FDR) attains the power, he will have as a friend and competitor a bastard; He and his kingdom will be so scabby that before it can be cured it will be too late.”
    3) “The great credit of silver and gold; lust will blind the adulterer; His offense will be known that will come for his great dishonor.”
    4) “The great one of little worth (Hitler) during his last days will do a marvelous thing; when Hadrie (Manuel A. Odria) saw what was needed; and in the banquet stabs the proud one.” (USA). This is the most guarded U.S. secret that concerns Hitler. As a matter of fact, disclosure of this secret will save Osama bin Laden from USA’s most wanted terrorist.
    In 1940-41 Peru allowed the Standard Oil and British Petroleum to exploit the Peruvian petroleum reserves north of Peru (Talara, in Piura). Roosevelt decided to annex Talara to the United States through a war from Ecuador. The U.S. sent advisors and weapons to Ecuador to attack Peru in a surprise attack, take control of Tumbes, Piura, Jaen and Maynas and give to the U.S. Talara as a permanent possession. But an Ecuadorian informer warned the Peruvian army of the U.S. plan, Peru sent re-enforcement to the border, and when the attacks took place, the Peruvian army was able to repel the invading enemy. To make the story short, the Peruvian Air Force used parachute landing for the first time in the history of the Americas and the third in the world and entered into Ecuador where the U.S. secret base, planes and personnel were discovered. There was no doubt; the United States was behind that war. Hitler, a Roman Catholic, learned about it and he came to our rescue delivering an ultimatum to the United States the first days of August 1941; if they continued their acts of aggression against a Latin American helpless nation as was Peru, the U.S. would be forced to contend with Germany, Italy and Spain in a direct war. HITLER SAVED PERU, but cleverly FDR imposed a news blackout and to this date the U.S. citizens, and the world ignore that Hitler delivered an ultimatum to the United States. Proof of it, however, exists: the reply to Hitler´s ultimatum was prepared by FDR and Churchill, with their respective chief of staff on board of the heavy cruiser Augusta anchored at Placentia Bay, off Newfoundland between August 9-12, 1941. IT IS A DOCUMENT RELEASED TO THE PRESS ON AUGUST 14TH, 1941, KNOWN AS THE ATLANTIC CHARTER. IT IS REALLY THE REPLY TO HILER´S ULTIMATUM TO THE UNITED STATES. Nostradamus foretells that when that secret is revealed it will “stab the proud one” (USA).
    Prophet Habakkuk prophesied about the present times: “Behold, his soul which is lifted up (USA) is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith.
    “Yea, also because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heepeth unto him all people.”
    “Shall they (Israel) not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee; and awake that shall vex thee; thou (USA) shall be for booties unto them.” (Hab. 2:4-5; 2:7)
    Jesus said to the Jews in Jerusalem, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate (without God); and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!” (Luke 13:35) Osama bin Laden comes in the name of the Lord; he is the prophet like Moses, God promised to raise from his brethren: “I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (Moses); and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” (Deut. 18:18)
    “I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh; there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter (Kingdom) shall rise out of Israel; and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth (Pride:USA).” (Numbers 24:17) (My name Nancy, in Italian means “Nunciata” – that means “Announcer” and my second name is Esther, that means “Star”; so together it means “Announcer of the Star” – that is the announcer of the Star of Jacob, that is Israel’s long awaited Messiah, that is Osama bin Laden.)
    God cursed the serpent for having deceived Eve; and said to him, “And I will put enmity between thee (Satan) and the woman (Mary) and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.” (Genesis 3:15)
    Mary came to a village in Portugal, named FATIMA, in 1917, for six times; and she promised to come a seventh time – that is still pending and that has been announced by Isaiah 52:7-10. She will come with the Child Jesus, whom the Jewish people will be able to see, he will bless them and to give them peace. Osama bin Laden will see her and will reject Islam and embrace Mary as his mother; then he will be empowered with Christ’s power to destroy the enemies of Israel.
    Mary is the Queen of heaven and earth; Psalm 45:1-9 speaks about the King, Jesus, “Kings´ daughters were among thy honorable women (saints); and upon thy right hand did stand the Queen (Mary) in gold of Ophir.” (Ps. 45:9)
    Psalm 45:10-17 speak about Mary, the Queen: “She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework; the virgins (saints) her companions that follow her shall be brought unto Thee (Jesus/God). ”With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the King’s palace.
    “Instead of thy fathers (Jewish patriarchs) shall be thy children (Christians) whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.” (Ps. 45:14-16)
    This means that Mary has the power to make princes out of those that adopt her as their Mother; even if Osama bin Laden takes her as his spiritual Mother, she will raise him up to Prince, and heir to the throne of the Kingdom of God. Then the prophecies of Ezekiel 37:22-28 will be fulfilled: “One king shall be king to them all… and David my servant (Osama bin Laden is David re-incarnated) shall be king over them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, and David shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them… My tabernacle also shall be with them… And the Gentiles shall know that I sanctified Israel when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them. And I (Jesus) shall be their God; and they (the Jews) shall be my people (Christians).” (See Ezekiel 37:22-28)
    Mary left a message for the Pope to read in 1960; but Pope John XXIII refused to read and ordered that everything concerning FATIMA be silenced. Mary foretold that the time would come when no king, or ruler, Cardinal or Bishop would wait for Jesus; but that he will come; however, but to punish with a severity that has not been used since the Flood. Nostradamus confirms that in a prophecy where he mentioned time: “In the year 1999 and seven month, will come from heaven a great King of Fear to raise up the King of Angelical cradle (the offspring of David, that is Osama bin Laden) Before and after Mars (wars) reign for a good hour.” And Jesus said to the Jews that they would not see him, till the time came when they would say, BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.” Then the attacks on 9/11 were not the works of Osama bin laden, but of Jesus Christ moving behind him. And in the Apocalypse, the Apostle John foretold the Second Coming of Christ: “I saw heaven opened (God will manifest Himself), and behold a white horse (a person bringing forth Jesus Christ); and he that sat upon him (the one that directed the steps of the white horse that is Osama bin laden) was called Faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” (Apoc. 19:11)
    “And in Isaiah 44:28 God speaks about Osama bin laden, whom He has nicknamed “Cyrus”: “That saith of Cyrus (ObL) He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the Temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.”
    And in Isaiah 45:1-5 God speaks about and to Osama bin Laden, whom He surnamed, Cyrus: “For Jacob my servant, and Israel, mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name. I have surnamed thee (Cyrus) though thou hast not known me.
    “I am the Lord, and there is none else; there is no god beside me. I girded thee (with righteousness) though thou hast not known me.” Since Osama bin Laden is a Moslem, here God is saying that Moslems do not know Him; or that Islam is a false religion, but that God has raised him in righteousness for the sake of Jacob and Israel.
    Osama bin Laden will see Mary during her seventh visit to Fatima, Portugal, and will become convinced that Jesus is God; he will reject Islam and embrace Mary as His spiritual Mother; that will raise him up to Prince, as the Brother of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. Mary is the Queen of Heaven, per Psalm 45.

    When his disciples asked Jesus what would the sign be of his second coming and of the end of the world; Jesus said to them that after a time of great tribulation (such as the present times) “the sign of the Son of man (a Cross) will appear in heaven; then to look up as the time of the redemption of the children of Israel draws near”. Probably during Mary’s seventh apparition at Fatima, a Cross will be seen in the skies of Fatima, the sign of the Second Coming of Christ, but to rule the nations from Jerusalem. But also, they will be able to see the Child Jesus, as foretold in Isaiah 52:7-10 and they will see with their own eyes and will believe that Jesus, was, indeed, their God; they will mourn his death and He will forgive then, and return to them to rule the nations from Jerusalem.
    But Jesus is God; and the people cannot see God, least they are consumed; so Jesus will rule the nations through an intermediary – that happens to be the long awaited spiritual leaders, another prophet as Moses, God promised Moses to send to them; and He will put His words in his mouth. (See Deuteronomy 18:18-19) That other prophet like Moses is Osama bin Laden, who comes from the offspring procreated by King Solomon with the Queen of Sheba; her kingdom was located where Yemen is now (Marib, Yemen). He is also the King of Numbers 24:17 that will destroy all the enemies of Israel.
    Some say, but Osama bin Laden is a terrorist that caused the death of 3000 people. But they are not aware that when Moses came down from Mount Sinai and found the Israeli in an orgy worshipping a golden calf, he ordered the Levites to kill 3000 of the brethren and they did it. Before Moses had to flee the wrath of the most powerful ruler in the world, then, for having killed an Egyptian; Osama bin Laden had to flee the wrath of the most power ruler of the world now: the president of USA.

    Behind the U.S. sponsored peace plan, with two States: One Israeli and one Palestinian; there is a trap. The U.S. has made a secret deal with the Palestinians, once they have a free and independent State, they will give ten million dollars to the Palestinians in military assistance and they will allow the U.S. to build a military base outside Jericho, 27 kilometers from East Jerusalem; they will dig a tunnel to Solomon’s temple; and will have 150,000 U.S. soldiers stationed at Solomon’s Temple, to assure that Israel will never becomes a kingdom; but will be a “democracy” controlled by Washington. The U.S. government is a Masonic government and they claim to come from the Templar’s. The Templar’s were Catholic Benedictine monks that made a vow of celibacy and poverty; they hid Solomon’s treasure.. God will reveal to Osama bin Laden, as proof that He is God, where Solomon’s treasure is hidden. Washington claim to come from the Templar’s and that Solomon’s treasure belong to them.
    I am a true Christian, and I only side with Christ, Who is God; and He will prove it at Fatima, Portugal; during Mary’s seventh visit to FATIMA. Osama bin Laden will make Mary his Mother and become, as it were THE BROTHER OF CHRIST TO RULE THE NATIONS FOR HIM. Jesus and Osama bin Laden have the same bloodline: Davidic bloodline so they are related and do resemble physically. Jesus will rule the nations through Osama bin Laden, but he will become a Christian. I am a Christian loyal only to Jesus Christ.
    Mary came to Fatima, Portugal for six times in 1917 from May to October, on the 13th day of each month. And since only the pure of heart can see God, only three children shepherds; Lucia dos Santos (10), her cousins Francisco Marto (9) and his sister Jacinta (7) were found pure enough to see the Mother of Christ.
    During Mary’s first apparition, she said she would be coming for six times; then she would come a seventh time – that is still pending; and that has been foretold by Prophet Isaiah in the Bible (52:7-10).
    During her third apparition – that of July 13th, 1917, Mary brought a warning from God, saying that He had been deeply offended; and if they continued to do so, God was going to punish the world with an even worse war (WW II), with hunger and persecution of the Church. To forestall it, Mary said she would come to ask the Pope to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart; Russia would be converted and the world would have peace. If not, from Russia would emerge an erroneous doctrine that would spread one day to the entire world, provoking new wars, the good would be martyred and certain nations would be annihilated. Mary came in 1929 to ask Pope Pius XI to consecrate Russia to her but the Pope ignored her request. Russia sent troop to China in 1930, when Communism was still weak; and they took control of China. Now there will be a nuclear confrontation between mainland U.S.A. and China allied to 10 nations; The United States will be annihilated. (The United States if Mystery Babylon of the Apocalypse.
    During her third apparition, of July 13th, 1917, Mary also showed the children the sight of Hell with the damned souls and devils in it (a sea of fire). To save them, Mary said that God wished to establish in the world the devotion to her Immaculate Heart and many souls would be saved. She also asked the children to sacrifice themselves and to ask for the conversion of the poor sinners. And during this third apparition, Mary showed the advent of Osama bin Laden that comes in the name of the Lord to punish the wicked. That vision has been kept secret by the Church till the year 2000, when Pope John Paul II revealed it, but saying that that vision foretold the attempt against his life; and was therefore “past history” – but that is not true. The two small children died by 1920; but the oldest seer, Lucia dos Santos became a nun and died in 2005. The Bishop of Leiria asked her (a nun then) to write down what Mary had shown them on July 13, 1917.
    MARY SHOWED THE ADVENT OF OSAMA BIN LADEN TO THE CHILDREN AT FATIMA, ON July 13, 1917: This is what Sister Lucia wrote and that Pope John Paul II made public in the year 2000: “The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria – Fatima, on July 13, 1917.
    “I write in obedience to You, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria, and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
    “After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel (Osama bin Laden) with a flaming sword in his left hand flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand. Pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ´Penance, penance, penance! ´”( Immediately another vision followed) And we saw in an immense light that is God ´something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it a Bishop dressed in white ´We had the impression that it was the Holy Father, other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork tree; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way, having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him; and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were to Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God. Tuy 3-1-1944.” Jesus had said to the Jews, “You will not see me from henceforth till the time comes when you shall say BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD:” So there one has to come in the name of the Lord, whom the Jews have to bless then Jesus will appear in their midst. The vision at Fatima indicates that Osama bin Laden is the one that comes in the name of the Lord, to do His will since the Roman pontiffs have ignored Mary’s requests that came from Jesus: to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart to avert WW II and even WW III. Only when Pius XI saw the troop movement in Europe, in 1939, he tried to warn the people about WW II through an encyclical letter he had prepared; but for God it was too little, too late and silenced Pius XI, who died before he could read his encyclical letter; and WW II took place. Then Hitler was not responsible for WW II but the failure of Pope Pius XI to do the will of God.
    Daniel foretold the advent of the one that comes in the name of the Lord: “I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (Yahweh) and they brought him near before Him.
    “And there was given him dominion, and glory and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” (Daniel 7:13-14)
    Ezekiel foretold the fall of the Roman Catholic Church: “And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord (Jesus Christ) have brought down the high tree; have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish. I, the Lord have spoken and have done it.” (Ezekiel 17:24)
    Mary left a letter for the Pope to read in 1960; but Pope John XXIII not only refused to read it; but he ordered that everything concerning the events and messages of Mary at Fatima, be silenced. Also Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, saying, “Providence will show that man though his own effort will take the Church to its greatest glory;” and that is a blasphemy, as he is saying that he, without God’s help would take the Church to its greatest glory; or that he would do a better job than God. Thousands of priests and nuns left the Church at the end of the Second Vatican and that is why the Church is plagues with those sex scandals. Jesus now will return to cut the Vatican off and to make Osama bin Laden His Shepherd that will do His will. Jesus is God; and people cannot see God; therefore Jesus Christ will rule the nations through an intermediary – that intermediary is Osama bin Laden – but the workers of iniquity (the U.S. government) seek to kill him; and kill me too (a Christian) so I do not tell the people who Osama bin Laden really is and about God’s plans.
    Mary had warned at Fatima, that the time would come when no king, or ruler, Cardinal, or Bishop would wait for the return of Jesus, who, however, would return but to punish. Osama bin Laden will take Mary as his Mother after her seventh apparition at Fatima and that will make him a prince (Mary being the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of Christ, the King of kings and Lord of Lord). Thus Mary will bring peace to the Middle East and an end to terrorism.
    May God bless the men of good will. Nancy Esther Ingunza, Lima, Peru

  5. Nancy Esther Ingunza says:

    In isaiah 40:1-5 God says to comfort His people, that they have received double from the Lord´s hand for their sins; and now it is good times for the bitter. He is going to restore their temple and kingdom and they will inherit the land, but they must prepare a spiritual way for God: “Every valley” (the humiliated Jews) will be exalted; and every mountain and hill (the exalted Christians) shall be made low; and the crooked shall be straightened and the rough places smooth; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed before all flesh.”
    THIS IS THE TRUTH ABOUT WORLD WAR II: Jesus Christ sent warning of it to the Pope through His Blessed Mother, Mary, to a village in Portugal named FATIMA; in 1917; but the Pope ignored the warnings Mary brought from Jesus, till 1939; when he saw the troop movement that pressage the beginnning of WW II. Only then Pius XI tried to warn the people about WW II through an encyclical letter he had prepared. But for God it was too late and silenced him. Pius XI died before he could read his encyclical letter and WW II, that he could have prevented began. Per Ezekiel 33:6, God says that the blood of those that have died during WW II is in the hands of Pope Pius XI.
    Mary promised to come six times in 1917; and she promised to come a seventh time, that is still pending and was foretold in Isaiah 52:7-10. She will come, as she did on October 13, 1917, with the Child Jesus, to bless the people and to give peace to the world. This time the Jewish people will see the Child Jesus, so will Osama bin Laden (who is also Jewing, coming from the offspring procreated by King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba whose kingdom was where Marib, in Yemen is now); he will reject Islam and embrace Christ and will recognize his Jewish roots (See Isaiah 11:1-10). I am a Christian loyal only to Christ and not to any religious or political group. The Eoman pontiffs are not doing the will of Christ but self-promoting; and that is why there is no peace. Jesus is returning now to cut off the Christians in power and to restore the Kingdom of Israel and their temple. (See Ezekiel 37:26-28 and Ez. 17:24) May God bless you. Nancy Esther Ingunza

  6. Nancy says:

    You see what you get when you are a false prophet? Bin laden died last night and he will not be any Messiah for anyone ever! You lier and God hears all this and will do you in for your lies! Repent sinner!

  7. Alfie says:

    The only truth is the unfathomable LOVE of God to all, through Jesus, we could be with HIM.

  8. james ainoris says:

    Religion is a set of beliefs by man that describes G-d. Judaism is 613 laws given by G-d that describe man (Rab Hirsch) Lashron Hara (Gossip evil or otherwise) and Yaitzer hara (mans evil inclination) which we must all fight prevent the coming of the Mosiach….. When Mosiach comes there will be no war or suffering pain or illness crime . sadly this has never happened. In fact more wars occured since the time of the destruction of our Bais Hamikdash (Solomons Temple Site of al asqa mosque today) than any time in world history…. It is only the invention of nuclear war that has reduced loss of life do to mans war ( read Dr Teller and Dr Cohens opinion on such facts esp read book “Shame ” describing Cohens neutron device which rendered most of the former Soviet Unions military armor obsolete leading to its collapse Baruch HaShem.) Only when man followss G-ds law will Mosiach come for Jew an righteous Gentile alike

  9. james ainoris says:

    When mossiach comes there will be no more war or suffering of anyone jew or gentile that follows Noachide law. This has never happened . In fact the world became more horrible after the destruction of the second temple. Hundreds of people clailed to be th mosciach. I I wish people could just accept us… we have never forced anyone to convert or had crusades or pogroms…. only now when we are attacked in eretz Israel. The Torah clearly defines the land of Israel. The Moslem conqurer Saladin put us back there after he deafeated Richard the lion hearted in the last evil crusade. I must mention here also that the Roman Emporer Hadrian destroyed G-ds bais Ha Migdash (Temple mount) killing off most of the jews before Islam and Christinity existed and renamed Israel “Palestine” after the philistines who worshipped “molech” and “baal” which included sacraficing their own children by burning them alive…. That would make the Jews the first palestine refugees! Of course you cannot say this in University course..

  10. james ainoris says:

    If anyone is interested in the Gemara (talmud) they should know it is originally written in aramaic. There are two Talmuds being the bavli (written in Babylon) and the yerushalmi (written in Jerusalem) the latter version is partial due being stolen when Titus sacked Jerusalem and parts are hidden in the freindly Vatican … The British museum did release some of it to us Cheerio! The Talmud or “Torah sha bal peh” (oral Torah) was told to Moshe on har Sinai during the 40 days. It was forbiden to write down unless extreme emergency would cause it to be lost .We all how nice the world was to us… so we wrote it down. In orthodox judaism one has to study Gemara to properly comprehend Torah. There were jews that rejected it being : saducees (herod) kairites and modern reform jews. There are 2400 pgs that are not numbered with various commentators notes such as Rashi an Rambam. After six years of secular university studies in architecture I have NEVER encountered such

  11. james ainoris says:

    It amazes me how many people are obsessed with conspiracy theories . Did you ever stop to think that the conspiracy theory is a conspiracy? lol… The Torah warns us about soothsayers faith healers and various people who claim to know the future through prophecy…. Our Tanach (what gentiles call the “Old testement”? ) is filled with writings by our sages. From Joshua to chronicles 2 which fortell of future events and was sealed by the men of the great assembly 2500 yrs ago. During the hellenistic period Alexander the Great admired the jews and wanted our Tanach to be translated into greek. After his death one of his generals “Philo” had seventy rabbis independently translate such separately with no contact. After translation was reveiwed all seventy were identical! Philo considered this a great miracle…hence the gentiles have the septuaginta (70 In greek) which was later used by the vatican and rearranged and changed then translated into latin then later into german by Martin Luther then Martin Luther.

    Contuation: Martin Luther initially tried to learn hebrew and rejected the catholic vulgate.He hired rabbis to translate such into german and became furious when this translation did not read the way he wanted (christilized) He then became a rabbid anti semite and is quoted in his writing s to kill us and burn our buildings etc just like the popes crusaders and arabs. There are 700 Changes made to the Tanach (see R.Margolis) some made during greek translation by rabbis most done by vatican and luther. For instance in greek in Isiaih there is no virgin , it reads “young woman” in fact many places were modified to endorse a different agenda…. I would ask the reader the followig: Does G-d make mistakes? does he change his mind? Did not Moshe recieve the Torah on sinai? (Moslems ,Christians and us agree here) How then can anyone say that these are “old” implying obsolete or over written by some “new deal” Would you not want to read the original writings not modified in any way(dead sea scrolls prove this fact)

    I discovered that my great grandparents came from kovono lithuania and were jews. They had to convert to another religion to be allowed to come to america due to harsh antisemetic immigration quotas then. I came to discover another very interesting fact that my great uncle was Senator Robert Wagner who went to great efforts to help mankind . He was hired to investigate the infamous Triangle shirtwaist fire in nyc which led to legislation banning child slave labor and sweat shops. He also wrote social security act and also gave all workers the right to form unions. Two bills he wrote and were rejected were the anti lynching bill (mostly innocent black men murdered by southern states up to 1960s) and most disturbingly the “wagner rodgers bill” in which he attempted to save 40000 Jewish children all under 14yo to waiting welcoming homes in america. Both of these bills were blocked by the so called “moral majority” and large churchs. They defended lynching as states rights , the kids were communists !

  14. james ainoris says:

    None of these innocent children were communists and not one kid was allowed to come simply because of his belief in HaShem. They all were murdered by nazis and their collaborators whom I will now discuss. There were close to 600 million people in europe during ww2. Out of this only a few thousand people tried to help(Denmark Sweden Norway and Spain refused to deport and are blessed by HaShem) these few individual s are heros . But there is one problem. After the evil nazis were long gone local people and there government continued to murder rob and rape jews that survived so much so that they had to be put in “displaced persons camps” (prison) in europe. Not only did the nice people help the germans but continued such especially in poland and holland which are catholic and protestant respectively. Even today stolen property and war crimes against us goes un investigated. What really upsets me now is that in poland right next to auschwitz they are building malls and gift shops using this site for profit ! ?

  15. james ainoris says:

    During the 1700 s ther were two schools of thought in russia and eastern europe being: chassidus founded by the Bal Shemtov and mitznagdim headed by the gaon of vilna lithuania. The chassidus believe that G-d loves all jews and righteous gentiles equally. The guy that sweeps the floor is equal in HaShems eyes to the talmud scholar. They also looked for the positive in the negative the blessing in the curse… they studied kabbalah (mystcisim) and davin (intesne prayer) 3 times daily. The mitznagdim focused on intense Torah /Talmud study and looked down on simple and unlearned people. They claimed chassidus was incorrect and followed dangers possibly leading to another false moshiach (shab szi shvi) . They later admitted Chassidus was correct following the school of the Alter Rebbe (chabad today). They united later to fight judaisms greatest enemy “reform” (haskalah ) ” enlightened” ones in germany who sadly believed that the Torah could change with the times and if they assimilated they would be safe….

  16. james ainoris says:

    Sadly, as before in egypt persia babylon greece and rome they were wrong and suffered the same fate…. Rabbi Sampson Raphael Hirsch fought reform and proved that one could stay observant and be a doctor or farmer etc. Later in france a military General was falsely accused of being a spy Knownown as the “Dreyfuss affair” (actor Richard Dreyfuss is great grand son) A news reporter named Hertzel followed the antisemetic court mashall and later concluded that no matter what a jew did or how he tried to fit in it would not matter in europe. Jews had to find their own homeland eretz Yisroel (the land of Israel)… Zionism was born. At that time the Ottoman Turks owned Israel and glady sold abandonded land to jews from europe and mideast (60% of jews in Israel today are from arab countries that ejected them) .During this time no one wanted this land except the jews. Arabs are from arabia. Not untill the british tricked the arabs and the jews with false promises did much of the current problems arise.

  17. james ainoris says:

    It is interesting to note that the observent religious jews from eastern europe were some of the poorest and suffered terrible pogroms (violent attacks by locals with no protection from police who often led the attacks) The evil czars of russia oppressed all into eternal servitude (jew and gentile alike). Karl Marx (german reform jew) and Peter Engles (Protestant) were children of wealthy industrialists and were appalled by the terrible treatment of the workers which includede children. They had no voice or rights and were used like animals and simply disposed of when injured or sick etc. (see movie “Oliver and research Triangle shirtwaist fire in NYC) They spoke out to try to help the little guy. Later in russia Lennin and Trotsky (both jews) over threw the evil czars but went to far by eliminating G-d from society . In the Torah there are laws that protect the worker from Such exploitations and more importantly no man can be above another man eg “Divine right Monarchy is evil kings and popes not allowed .

  18. james ainoris says:

    So the jews were the driving force in social justice and took violent action in the Red October revolution in russia initially to try to help the workers . Sadly they also tried to destroy religious jews and gentiles as well. Meanwhile all the wealthy industialists and robber barons (none jews except rothschild) were sweating at the possibilty of this new movement spreading to there countries. In america Rockefeller (see ;Ludlow lead mine massacre ) and Henry ford a rabbid antisemite propogated antisemetic propoganda with newsletters and radio shows (Father Coughlin) to frighten americans and convince americans that all jews were commies and money hungry cheating anyone…. When the russian czars were destroyed one last thing they did for revenge was to concockt a horrible and slanderous book of lies called “The protocals of the learned elders of zion” . This book led to the murder and persecution of millions of innocent human beings and in one of the best selling books in arab lands today(more on this later

  19. james ainoris says:

    As a young man even during graduate school study I was actually convinced that this stuff was true. I was a fool and ignorrant of so much…. I came to find that after ww1 the german economy (i am of german descent by the way) as we all know was destroyed . Germany did not start ww1 Austria and Hungary did. The versallies treaty bankrupted germany which up to this time was not really a bad place. Propogandists had to find someone to blame. Since most of the jews were diamond and gold dealers and had seen the failure of the deutsch mark they preserved their wealth as anyone would want to do… The evil nazis saw a way to blame the failing economy on some one. Martin Luther and the Lutheren church for hundreds of years wrote anti semetic books about jew and wrote”the final solution” The german industialists did not want unions or communism and teamed up with the vatican. Since the protocols and final solution books were known and the jews “killed god” guess who they chose?

  20. james ainoris says:

    I have to clarify a terrible rumor that i have overheard and actually used to belive: Hitler was not a jew …. hitler was a nickname since he came from the hitler mountains in austria. His name was “shicklegruber” and his mothers name was “Mary ” a roman catholic…. no one knows who his father was and it does not matter since under halachic law you are only a jew unless your mother is or complet an orthdox conversion. I vomit everytime i hear this rumor. Lets back track. The religious jew of eastern europe were some of the poorest people. A hand ful of jews (Rothschilds etc were bankers) Why condem millions to death? Evil greed and power. In ww1 jews fought for germany and were treated fairly (See Fritz Haber a scientist who discovered a way to obtain nitrogen from the air to make unlimited amounts of fertilizer and high explosives . sad end with zyklon b gas . see movie “amen”)

  21. james ainoris says:

    I must clarify an error Theodor Fritsch came up withthe final solution he was isspired by martin luther. Now add to this constant persecution for almost two thousand years by the catholic church. Pope urban decreed thatall jew were restricted fromworking or owning land. They were forced to be tax collectors money lenders and rent collectors for the noble men who answered to the vatican. They were also forced to dress different with black hats and coats yellow stars etc. So it was burned into the european mind that jews were ng. So it was easy for evil propogandists to convince the bankrupt bitter german or pole that its th jews fault not england and france. Meanwhile back in america american conservative/reform jews did very little to speak out against atrocities. Many were afraid to inflame an already hostile public and were aware of Henry Ford and others propoganda. Even walt disney testified that jews were un american commies…. One of the most difficult questions to ask is why did the Ny times cont.

  22. james ainoris says:

    Why did the Ny Times and other major papers owned by jews fail to bring front page attention to the horrors occuring in europe? Why did the not insist that the railroad lines to the murder factories be bombed even once? (I did research and found that Jimmy Dolittle and america wanted to bomb rr tracks but british said no…. all the tracks in europe were continually bombed except these…. why???…. brits didnt want more jews to flee to eretz yisroel? many questions few answers ..
    Many Reform jews were and still are anti zionists. Now since 1971 they want their “conversions” accepted by Israel….. which is a contentious issue for the many who suffered so to stay frum under such oppression while american jews drove volkswagens on shabbos to get bacon cheese burgers on their way to some civil rights rally for anyone except a religious torah observent jew….My Rebbe said the biggest danger to Judaism is assimilation. To try to fit in to be embarassed of religious observant jews. This has happened here..

  23. james ainoris says:

    I must apologze… I am not supposed to critcize other jews only to help them become closer to HaShem. The nobile efforts of reform social jews is righteous and I am sure noted by the court of heaven…..Like the Quakers they helped man people from indians to black americans. The ACLU was formed from the terrible Scottsboro case where innocent black teens and a 12yo were hung by lynch mobs . Also see the Dread Scott decision by the US supreme court and you will see how we need a balanced court system. The Gemara (Talmud) says to listen to the left and the right and make a decision since they often both have good and or bad ideas…. “an eagle(usa) needs a strong left and right wing to fly straight” jpa 2005 . Very often we here angry voices on the media looking for someone to blame for societies current ills… sound familiar? Lets get back to Chassidus for a moment. As we stated earlier the BaShemtov beliieved all human beings were loved equally . He started a movement that insured that all could study.

  24. james ainoris says:

    This helped so many who suffered so much in poland russia and europe. Jews from russia and europe are known as “ashkenazim” whereas jews from spain italy and north africa are “sephardim” often not mentioned are the “mitzrahi” jews from babylon persia egypt and other arab lands(make up60% of current israeli population today) Askenazi jews rarely ever had peace or freedom in christian europe…. Sephardim lived fairly decent lives under moslem rule for periods of time and began to assimilate studying music philosophy and science of others where as the Chassidus delt with livng under constant oppression and fear…. The Chassidus developed a way to deal with the horrible outside world and its cruelty “stay out of it” and focus on doing mitzvos(good deed s as per Torah) and intense davining (prayer). They developed songs called “niggum” and stayed positive in their belief of the coming of Mosciach…. (call 718 953 6100 for lessons) The Chabad movement was started by the Alter Rebbe (Zahlman) .

  25. james ainoris says:

    The Alter Rebbe wrote a series of books called “the Tanya” which brought the Zohar (kabbalah) down to the simple jew to use in every day life… HaShem is everywhere and in everything even mudane things or work. (go on Chabad.org for more info) As we can see we have a broad sprectrum of jews in the world who make up less than one tenth of one percent of the worlds population have been the target and scapegoat of every evil empire and/or dictator from mitzrayim(egypt) persia (iran today) greece rome europe and now the arabs (with their british and russian backers) have tried to destroy us…. most of them are gone … we are still here and BaRuch HaShem doing well! A very good educational documentary film “the roots of anti semitism” from PBS explains much about what happened but fails to explain how we survived… “G-d”!. We were scattered amongst the nations and know being gathered back as per Torah… (listen to Rabbi Berel Weins series of lectures “The history of the jewish people” Destiny Project.

  26. james ainoris says:

    Today we see with honored visit of Israels Pres. Netenyahu (spelling erreors due to big fingers and failig eyesight combined with tiny keypad on phone .sorry).. America stood behind Israel today and agrees not to split Jeruselem or a two state solution BaRuch HaShem . The reason I have said alot on this blog is to clarify as much as I can about judaism to many gentiles that have blogged and or read it. Much information in the outside (Goy) world are based on baseless rumors and the lack of the abilty to read hebrew. One cannot properly study without reading hebrew and aramaic as well as a little yiddish (german/hebrew hybrid). &udaism does not look for converts (gairim). But if one shows through intense effort and is genuine you may be considered. Most bet din s (jewish court of rabbis) will not consider conversion unless you live in a community like crown heights etc. Unless ther are yeshivos(schools) kosher food and a Mikvah (immersion pool which later was adopted by gentiles as baptism).

  27. james ainoris says:

    Lets take a few moments to discuss “Shabbos” or sabbath in english. This is the seventhday of the week. It is perhaps the most critical law as per G-ds instruction to Moshe (moses) and the Jewish people and is mentioned contnually in the Torah. The Jewish calender is very accurate (see NASA study on accuracy ) and has been around since Moses. The pagan roman world under the evil emporer Theodosius after Constantine banned the hebrew calender and renamed the names of the month and days of week after pagan gods eg “sunday” the first day is named after the pagan sun god….. Later during some vatican council they gave themselves the authority to change G-DS Shabbos to the new sunday….? This was around the 4th century ce. So geezus and all of his people obeyed Shabbos since there was no julian or gregorian innacurate pagan calendar during his life time. The most intense campaign soon followed this roman decree to destroy G-ds shabbos and contnues until today as “blue laws” which somehow came to america .

  28. james ainoris says:

    Blue laws restrict buisnesses from being open on sunday. Most states now have struck down such laws only recently. Somelimit the sale of alcohol etc. Years ago I was operating noisy heavy equipment and local police warned me that if I continued I would be arrested! How could this be in America a religious law enforced by the gov? These laws were designed in catholic europe that forced Jews to be open on Shabbos and close on sunday. On Shabbos one cannot work or drive or cook or do laundry. Before nightfall candles are lit by the women and girls of the home . All food would have been pre prepared to be consumed.

  29. Janice White says:

    You people are so full of BULLSHIT! I can’t believe an intelligent and thinking person would believe such propaganda..I feel sorry for you that you are wasting your lives and talents when you have the potential to actually do some good to humankind.

  30. ya akov says:

    Amazing negative reaction…. sadly this last comment was someone who reacts in a hostile way. Yes there are hypocrites amongst us and good and bad in every person. The truth is often rejected. I am no one to talk…. I used to be arrogant and even antisemetic when I was younger and thought I knew everything after graduating university. It took alot to convince me that there is only one G-d…. Usually we come to this after extreme punishment and suffering…a life threatening illness etc. If one looks at psalm 107 which says anyone who survives inprisonment or a dangerous sea journey or survives an illness …such a person is obligated to praise HaShem for the rest of his life… I would hope this person would not have any such experience. The comment Mentioned “why dont you people do some good for the world” Its G-ds world…. and we praise and thank him continually not asking for reward.. When I pray I only thank G-d for saving my life many times and allowing me to have two beautiful children…
