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…

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.

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.

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 .

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).

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.

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) .

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.

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..

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.
