Blessing\\Curse unbridgeable gulf between the righteous pursuit of judicial justice in brit lands from theological belief in creed created Universal or other God-heads, as determined through public societal belief systems. Education vastly distinguishes between the ignorant masses who can but only rely upon “faithful” translations … from Torah scholars who understand that “basically” all translations – skew and pervert – the Original mother tongue. T’NaCH written in Hebrew and Aramaic not Greek nor Latin. Foreign religions express the cultures, customs and traditions of Goyim not Jews of ancient Judea. As such, the Xtian bible translations and Muslim koran address their people not Jews. We have our own cultural traditions as a people. Repeatedly throughout history these great monotheistic religions have attempted to force a “one size fits all ‘communism’ upon not only Jews”. The Crusades serves witness to this war crime.
A one word example which proves this point precisely from the Torah itself. The 1st word of the Torah all Xtian narishkeit(Yiddish for idiotic) bible translations write “In the Beginning” or words to that effect. Within the 6 letters of this opening Torah word “בראשית”, contained words within words a key quality known as רמז. For example: ברית אש, ראש בית, ב’ ראשית all key ways to interpret the k’vanna of בראשית simply translated as “in the beginning”. Goyim worship their bibles, calling them the “Word of God”. But, bottom line, this “God” not the god of the Jewish people. Arabs worship their tawhid Allah as the one and only God and Muhammed his prophet. But neither this nor that the God or prophet of the T’NaCH Jewish common law legal literature. These self proclaimed ‘Sister Religions’ fail to grasp that the T’NaCH & Talmud exist as Constitution of an “ideal” Republic within the borders of the lands established by means of sworn oath cut between our local god and Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov – the fathers of the Jewish people.
Arabs insist that Jews changed the Torah, that really Avraham bound Yishmael at the Akadah. That’s a nice story and Arabs fervently believe it. But the Torah serves as the basis of Jewish common law. Common law does not stand upon theologically created creed belief systems but rather legal precedents. Its this מאי נפקא מינא “What difference does it make?”, which forever separates the established culture and customs practiced by the Jewish people in a tiny country from the religious beliefs of huge Goyim societies across the Planet Earth. No different from the native Indian cultures and customs which Xtian believers have basically obliterated in the New World.
On October 7th 2023 Hamas attacked and slaughtered Israelis outside the borders of Gaza. The unilateral withdraw from Gaza – August 15, 2005 – culminated assassinated PM Yitzhak Rabin’s Oslo II Accords of 1995. The latter stands upon the precedent of PM Begin and President Sadat’s Camp David Peace Accords with diplomatic assistance of US President Carter. As a private citizen I do not know why PM Sharon withdrew from Gaza. Arafat launched the 2nd Intifada consequent to Oslo and the Gazans threw the “sole Representative of the Palestinian People” permanently out of Gaza. But strongly suspect that PM Sharon based his decision upon the leadership precedent establish by PM Begin who returned (for the 2nd time) the captured Sinai back to Egypt to achieve a peace that has held to this day.
On Oct7th 2023 Hamas together with UNWRA attacked and slaughtered some 1200 Israelis murdered in one day. At the time personally favored Sharon’s bold leadership over Bibi’s. But Oct 7th conclusively proved that PM Sharon’s initiative utterly and horribly false, evil, and wrong. This surprise attack, compares to the Dec7th 1941 Pearl Harbor, which caused FDR to approach Congress for a declaration of war. The UN, England, France & Russia – later condemned Israel for war crimes committed in this two year Oct 7th Abomination war. Israel demanded a complete return of our stolen citizens held in brutal conditions – which the Red Cross refused to visit. Under President Trump, post war did Gazans surrender all captive and stolen Israelis! Under Trump 2.0’s leadership, the imperialism of England France and Russia, which has so dominated all previous Arab Israeli wars – imperialism expressed in UN Resolutions 242 and 338 key examples – finally expunged from the Gaza Peace Plan.
A key to learning Torah requires a discerning eye which consciously separates ‘like from like’ – which the Talmud defines as “understanding”. And distinguish a רמז from a סוד. If any person truly respects the Hebrew T’NaCH, (Written in response to a rather preachy set Xtians who seem to insist that Jews reject the Bible out of sheer stubbornness. Oblivious to how post Shoah facts on the ground have witnessed a complete and total role reversal; Israelis like myself say: “Put up or shut up”. Step off your soap-box. Cause your hyped “2nd Coming”, this Jew does not believe.), simply making glib general declarations about Jewish ignorance – seems particularly arrogant – at least to me. Throwing NT verses, as if that says it all, preaches to the wrong crowd. Personally welcome open dialogue with all persons who express a sincere interest to share and express their different takes and perspectives – how they learn classic texts. But preaching down to a ‘damned Jew’, post Shoah, simply NO.
These two above mentioned Hebrew terms, together with דרוש ופשט qualify as rabbi Akiva’s understanding of the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev which Moshe Rabbeinu heard ‘baal peh’. This 2nd Judean commonwealth kabbalah tradition, it permits Torah scholars from all generations and walks of life to study and learn T’NaCH Talmud aggada/halacha as the mussar k’vanna for all ritual acts of עבודת השם. The verb עבודה perfectly defines halachic ritualism because neither positive and negative Torah commandments require k’vanna any more than do halachic ritualism as codified in the Shulkan Aruch. NT Greek, that language lacks the nuance to discern between מלאכה from עבודה.
“In the beginning” with the Book of בראשית, the Torah introduces “av” wisdom commandments rather than declares the history creation of the Universe in six days, as all English bible translations emphasize. The creation story משל-metaphor, the Talmud understands interpreted through the נמשל – referred to as time-oriented mitzvot; this unique type of Av Torah commandment defines the k’vanna of the Book of בראשית. The next three Books of the Written Torah introduces the concept of positive and negative commandments (which ideally serve as precedents) ‘designed’ to elevate these secondary commandments – which do not require k’vanna. As to wisdom commandments which do require k’vanna. This wisdom skill equally applies to the warp/weft loom known as Talmudic halacha/aggada. No fundamental understanding based upon the first Word of the Torah no bible translation, including Aramaic, either directly or even indirectly implies.
The two Aramaic most famous translations of the Chumash serve as reading primers designed to aid and assist Jews in later generations to easily read Talmudic literature which employs Aramaic, as well as the mystic/non prophetic Book of Daniel. The Xtian translations one & all err and declare the Book of Daniel a prophetic Book. However prophets most essentially command mussar and only occasionally delve into ‘end of days’ mysticism. Who ever authored the Zohar, it seems to me a post 1242 burning in Paris of the Talmud stop-gap Reshon Era publication, made the choice to write in Aramaic like the Book of Daniel. The Zohar views סוד of פרדס as secret mysticism. Rav Nemuraskii taught me otherwise. He taught me that רמז וסוד attach to the warp of halacha as opposed to דרוש ופשט affixed to the weft of aggada. Herein defines the sh’itta of how my Rav taught me how to learn the sealed Primary Sources of Yiddishkeit.
The Xtian av tuma avoda zara – which roughly means evil spirited idolatry – knows nor teaches absolutely nothing of the culture and customs – both of which define Jewish identity for thousands of years till this very day. Instead their false prophet style literature relies upon Greek – Roman written (gospel of Mark authored in the city of Rome) to define the Jewish culture and customs that prevailed in ancient distant lands far removed from Goyim today. The false prophet Muhammad did the same with his Koran.
Why should an Israeli Jew refer to the major religions which have dominated the history of Man Kind, even in distant lands as India and China? This question at least to religious Goyim ‘pins my ears to the wall’. But post Shoah and 2000+ years of Jewish refugee status, meaning deprived of social and political rights, where Arabs labelled Jews as dhimmi and Xtian – well their disgraceful history speaks for itself. Now the “refugee shoe” both these religions forced to wear. The UN can spew its non stop condemnations of Israeli national Independence and pretend that it compares to the Pope who sends priests into Jewish shuls on shabbat to preach conversion – oblivious to the fact that post Shoah the UN established. Israel won its National Independence through two wars, the UN established through post War great power fiat. Arabs fought both of those wars with the intent to throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah vision.
A false prophet encourages people to worship other Gods. An obvious given. Hence both the NT JeZeus together with his false prophet Paul and NT support writers and the Koran Muhammad false prophet, skirts this difficulty by unilaterally declaring – by means of their own unique theological belief systems – that their Gods JeZeus or Allah one in the same – with the local tribal god of Sinai. Goyim never accept to this day the Torah revelation that tohor Divine spirits live within the hearts of the Yatzir Ha-Tov Cohen people alone. Goyim “not under the law” therefore Goyim do not determine nor define nor clarify Torah common law judicial precedent based commandments and mitzvot.
Both av tuma avoda zara declare their fervent belief in the theology known as “Monotheism”. Alas this common theological ploy well known to the Jewish people through the Ages. Ancient Persian theology which prevailed during the reign of Cyrus the Great – and expressed through the religious belief system of Zoroastrianism – duplicated the Xtian and Muslim narishkeit nonsense of Heaven vs. Hell God vs. Satan fiction on par with messiah Harry Potter to the witching world of England. That religion believed in an afterlife, good deeds, it enshrined “prophesies” of a savior (Saohyrant) and clearly had a strong influence over both the much later NT and Koran av tuma avoda zara.
The latter two style themselves as “sister religions” to Judaism. The koran falsely declares that prophets sent to all peoples in all lands and that the Arabs of Arabia were the last people to receive their prophet Muhammad who spoke in their home tongue. Goyim never accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. They rely instead upon theology and Creed based belief systems like for example the Muslim Tawhid and the Xtian Nicene Creed.
The NT for example, redefines prophesy as witchcraft; while Islam declares that prophets sent by Allah to all peoples and nations on this Earth and speak in their native tongue. Moshe and Yona sent to Jewish exiles enduring oppression in Egypt and Assyria respectively. The king of Assyria for example, his alien “repentance” simply an Indian Summer! Shortly thereafter the visit by the prophet Yona, the empire of Assyria totally collapsed! Furthermore the Xtian notions of “repentance” has nothing to due with the Torah concept of t’shuva. The latter verb requires Jews to remember the oaths sworn by Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov, which serves as the basis k’vanna of kre’a shma tefillah together with acceptance of the Written and Oral Torah. T’shuva remembers the oaths sworn by the Avot wherein they individually cut a oath alliance – with their local god in heaven – to father the chosen Cohen people. Moshe brought Israel out of Egypt to conquer the oath brit land inheritance of the Avot. Justice through law defines the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Not any belief in any theologically created Universal Gods of monotheism.
This key distinction separates prophetic תוכחה נבוא mussar which defines the whole of the Torah literature. Only Israel accepts – to this day the revelation of Torah common law – the obligation to rule Canaan with justice – as faith. Judicial common law simply not any theological belief system. The false prophets of the NT and Koran, by definition seduce people to worship other Gods ie the 2nd Sinai commandment! Moshe sent to Egypt where our local god judged the Gods worshiped by both Par’o and the Egyptians. The prophet Yehoshua cut a oath alliance with Israel prior to commencing his 7 year war to conquer the “giants” within Canaan; that our local god would judge the Gods of Canaan like to the Gods of Egypt, judged in the life time of Moshe his teacher.
The entire av tuma avoda zara of Monotheism despises the 2nd Sinai commandment. Both Xtianity and Islam relegate the 2nd Sinai commandment to idols of clay or gold. Both ignore the plain simple fact the the ancient Persian religion mentioned above, Jews rejected back then – despite farce persecution to convert. No different than the behavioral practices of church and mosque – as av tuma avoda zara.
During the bitter ‘Dark Ages’ of European and Muslim barbarism which witnessed the complete deterioration of ancient Roman road systems; people perhaps traveled from their homes all of 10 miles in their lifetimes! Jewish communities in g’lut/exile faced harsh threats of assimilation and intermarriage. Upon these two legs stand all av tuma avoda zara worship of foreign Gods which false prophets preach and extort their followers to believe. Hence the religion of g’lut Judaism evolved out of the bowels of Talmud and Midrash literature to address the communal needs of g’lut Jewy scattered like seeds tossed in the wind.
The Torah defines “prophet” as a person who commands mussar. Torah prophets do not predict the future as the NT Protocols of the Elders of Zion fraud forgery “fulfills”. Prophetic mussar applies equally straight across the board to all generations of the chosen Cohen seed of Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov. Each of whom swore a Torah oath to father this unique people.
Bible translations read that the God of these three fathers of the Jewish people swore an oath to give the land of Canaan as an eternal inheritance to their chosen seed. If their god – the greater party to the alliance – swore a Torah oath, then how much more so the lesser party to this alliance – likewise swears a Torah oath!!!
Neither the false prophets in the NT nor Koran even know how to swear a Torah oath! As such neither av tuma religions of avoda zara has ever contemplated the oaths sworn by the fathers by which our local god eternally creates from nothing the chosen Cohen people to this very day. Neither religion ever grasped that judicial common law share zero/nothing\no common ground with theological belief systems whose false prophets create Universal Gods using the tools of theology, no different than a craftsman uses his tools to forge idols.
