SO GO ALREADY

The Hassidic Belz community, one of the largest Hassidic courts in the country, is threatening to leave Israel if the proposed military draft law is passed by the Knesset, Maariv reports.

THEY SHOULD GO.

THEY CAN STUDY IN NEW YORK AS WELL AS IN ISRAEL.

IF THEY ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO OUR SOCIETY BY JOINING THE ARMY (OR DOING NATIONAL SERVICE) AND PAYING TAXES, WHO NEEDS THEM.

  1. A day could have been a thousand years …

    …and on the seventh day God rested and should we! Hey God – I like that. I could use a thousand years of rest!! 🙂

    The Bible Jews & Christians

    Your a hoot! The guy in this video is very funny. I could explain to him how the ‘7 days works’. He obviously doesn’t realize that at that time – there was no time as we know it. A day could have been a thousand years …

    If a man could see himself as God sees him

    The Pueblo Indian of the Southwest incorporate clowns into the ceremonies. The clown make fun of the idiosyncrasies of the various members of the tribe. So ,as they say , we may see ourselves as The Creator sees us.

    my best friends is a noted shrink in Los Angeles

    I have a friend who is a noted shrink also, I cook for him honey cake. pletzels, hamentshen,lemon bars and fudge pie [ which I call lithium. He sells at the flea market, he by items he knows I like and salts his tables with them and watch me search. Like a mouse in a maze. There is a book seller who does the same thing. He has tried to lure me away from TX.

    I give help I don’t ask for I don’t like complainers, everybody has troubles. You don’t understand the West.

    “The Bible Jews & Christians”

    This clip of Lewis Black runs 10 minutes.

    —I gave him 3.

    If it was vaudeville, they’d have been clamoring for the hook after 2.

    It’s apparent that the guy has an inordinately bloated opinion of his own intelligence

    — to say nothing of an astoundingly shallow comprehension of not only the “Young Earth” hypothesis but also the Theory of Evolution (that’s right, it’s still known as a theory, not a Law; fancy that!).

    Where do you dig up this slop?

  7. @ yamit82:

    “Of course [The Almighty] has a sense of humor… If a man could see himself as God sees him — he’d likely never stop laughing.”

    “Now how would you know???”

    The same way YOU would know if you related to Him directly.

    @ yamit82:

    “To learn and study the Word of the Almighty is what we are commanded to do.”

    That’s not what it says.

    “Joshua was commanded: [Joshua 1:8] THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF THY MOUTH; BUT THOU SHALT MEDITATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THOU MAYEST OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN…”

    Meditation is not study.

    — It is worlds away from intellectual activity.

  8. @ yamit82:

    “California is the Mecca for cults and weirdos.”

    Yup, the Granola Coast: Land of fruits, nuts, and flakes. It was that

    — among other things.

    It was also the Goldineh Medineh. The land of innovation; the ‘Mecca’ for cutting-edge ideas, for experimentation, for research & development; for free thinking; and for societal evolvement.

    But mostly, it was understood to be a place for new beginnings; often very brave ones.

    — And that, in turn, inevitably drew those other elements TO it.

    Ever since the liberals got hold of the state, however, it’s gone downhill — while taxes of every sort have skyrocketed — and lots of creative endeavor in business & industry has been pulling up stakes, and heading for Florida, Texas, etc (also Israel). But it remains to be seen if the people will come to their senses before the state floats out to sea.

    “I once had a theory…”

    “Once”? — what became of it?

    “… that California is where all the losers in the other 49 migrated to.”

    Well, as I noted [above], that was true.

    — But as I also noted at the same time, Calif was likewise where the WINNERS in the other 49 migrated to.

    “One of my best friends is a noted shrink in Los Angeles. Wilshire address.”

    So you’ve told me, before.

    “I coached him through Medical school.”

    “Coached him” in WHAT thru Med School?

    “Here we go again. A non Jew telling a Jew who is a Jew.”

    “What of it? — On this same website we’ve got JEWS saying who is a Christian. . . .”

    “From Wikipedia: ‘A Christian is…’…”

    Wikipedia ??!!? — THAT’S where you go for a definition? Vey iz mir!

    Christendom defines a Christian as one who adheres to the Nicene Creed

    — which holds (inter alia) that the Son of God is ‘ALSO’ God the Son. I don’t. Never have.

    haNitzri isn’t God, he never said he was — and the Gospel record contains no evidence that he ever wanted anybody to believe he was divine — as well as a good deal of evidence that he wanted quite the contrary to be understood about himself.

    “…’A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth…[etc]…’

    “Based on everything you claim to believe the above is a perfect fit to your claims.”

    Not even close, pancho.

    In fact, by that definition, Christ himself was NOT a ‘Christian.’ (He certainly never called anybody by that name; those who loved him he called his friends.)

    But then, it’s quite clear that Christ never intended to found any religion, a religion about himself or about anything else

    — rather, he wished to RELEASE man from the need for religion — ALL religion.

    Anybody who professes a faith ‘about’ Christ has YET to understand him.

    “So if the shoe fits wear it and if you are not proud and confident of your beliefs chuck em or don’t bring them up.”

    I’m QUITE proud (AND confident) of my beliefs; no reason to chuck ’em.

    — They just don’t constitute Christianity.

    “You are a christian in every sense of the defined terms.”

    In every sense that your circular argumentation finds it convenient to endorse.

    The simple, clear, and abiding FACT remains, however, that I am a Jew — as was he.

    Live with it.

    Now how would you know???

    Carry on!! 😛

  11. dweller Said:

    What of it?

    On this same website we’ve got JEWS saying who is a Christian. . . .

    From Wikipedia:
    A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, as outlined in the Bible. “Christian” derives from the Koine Greek word Christós (???????), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mashiach.

    There are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict. However, “Whatever else they might disagree about, Christians are at least united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance.” It is also used as a label to identify people who associate with the cultural aspects of Christianity, irrespective of personal religious beliefs or practices.

    Based on everything you claim to believe the above is a perfect fit to your claims. So if the shoe fits wear it and if you are not proud and confident of your beliefs chuck em or don’t bring them up. You are a christian in every sense of the defined terms. I bet you are a survivor of the “Heaven’s Gate” Cult. Nike sneakers and space ships….California is the Mecca for cults and weirdos. I once had a theory that California is where all the losers in the other 49 migrated to. One of my best friends is a noted shrink in Los Angeles. Wilshire address. I coached him through Medical school.

  12. @ honeybee:

    “The Almighty does NOT have a sense of humor. The Almighty has a finely honed sense of IRONY!”

    Of course He has a sense of humor.

    You cannot have the ONE without having the OTHER as well; they are two horns on the same goat.

    If a man could see himself as God sees him

    — he’d likely never stop laughing.

  13. @ yamit82:

    “There is another christian on this site. He is much kinder.”

    “Don’t believe it, Curio. You’re not at all unkind. Carry on.”

    “Pot loving kettle anomaly!”

    Hardly. Rather, a simple matter of uncluttered perception and common observation.

    “Seems only you and probably his mother hold that opinion.”

    I seriously doubt that there are no others (even on this site) who believe CA is not unkind.

    But it is a source of more than slight astonishment to note that a self-professed ‘Jew’ — of all persons — would be impressed enough by “the numbers game” to play it himself. . . .

    Psalms Chapter 2

    1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
    2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together,
    against the LORD, and against His anointed:
    3 ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’
    4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
    5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
    6 ‘Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.’
    7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: ‘Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
    8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
    9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’

    10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
    11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
    12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled.
    Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.

    If I were you I would be a bit nervous!!!!! You are part of those Nations. There ain’t no yeshu here either. 😉

    From Israel Matzav:

    “Last Thursday, just days before the mass protest, 21-year-old Yossi Ashtamkar became the second Nahal Hareidi (Hareidi brigade) officer to receive a prize for excellence in IDF history at an officers’ course graduation ceremony.

    Nahal Hareidi has won three other prizes over the past several months. In December, the unit won the IDF Chief of Staff’s prize; the unit was also awarded the IDF Department of Technology and Logistics’ Award and the GOC Army Headquarters Safety Award.

    The unit was also nominated for the Education Award, along with an award in Excellence in Maintaining Sector Security, issued by the Paratroop Command and Chief Infantry Officer.

    Here’s a video about Nachal Haredi’s Netzach Yehuda brigade, the largest in the IDF.

    “The Jews in Babylon who chose not to return mostly assimilated and disappeared from history.”

    Then who was it that died in the Baghdad Farhud of 1941 — the Minnesota Vikings?

    And who was it that was expelled from Iraq in the wake of Israel’s 1948 Declaration of Independence — Gregg & Duane Allman?

    “The [Hebrew] slaves in Egypt who refused to leave…”

    There is not a word of scripture — not a scrap, not a smigeon, not a scintilla, not a soupçon — acknowledging such a phenomenon to have occurred.

    “Today no Jew anywhere has an excuse for not coming to Israel and if they chose for their own reasons not to it’s their choice and any adverse consequences due to their choices are theirs alone.”

    You are in no position to be making such a judgment.

    “Our obligations to other Jews are to those in physical jeopardy through no fault of their own.”

    And how did they come to such a pass as might make that possible?

    You really don’t see your own contradictions, DO you?

    “We don’t need another half million antisemitic non Jewish Slavs in Israel; Although it is a missionary objective to infest as many as possible in Israel.”

    There is only ONE way you will ever be successful at keeping Xtn proselytizers out of Israel:

    — by clearly showing them that it was never Christ’s intention that the Jews be preached the gospel after his resurrection.

    He sent the apostles to the “lost sheep of Israel” ONLY DURING HIS EARTHLY SOJOURN (viz., while he was still around, to be sure the apostles got it right).

    Not afterward.

    Yeshiva students from multiple yeshivas in Kiev, including Chabad students, were told to report to the draft center, in response to the increasing tensions with Russia. Ba’alUnlike in the IDF, Jewish soldiers in the Ukrainian army cannot get kosher food, cannot have beards, and must work on Shabbat – which is they day they clean the base.

    Oh! This will be ugly! Chabad students will be killed in the Ukrainian army.

    They will probably come to the USA. I live not too far from Hasidic/Satmyr colony. Only a few miles.

    I will be probably seeing more of them on the local bys and ways.
