THE ZIONIST שמד

 

from EMAILIM BATORAH

When the Zionist movement was founded, there was a real danger
of the Frum community joining this secular organization.

The Gedolim of the time vehemently opposed Zionism and spoke out
against the movement.
They explained how dangerous this movement is for Yiddishkeit. They argued & warned that the sole goal of the Zionists was to uproot the Torah and destroy Yiddishkeit. They considered all the Zionists as 'כופרים בהקב"ה ועובדי ע"ז וכו
who are trying to שמד כלל ישראל

The Gedolim were successful in preventing most Frum Yidden from joining the secular Zionist movement. However, like in all generations, there were Yidden who went off the Derech, and many of them joined the Zionists.

The Gedolim of the past and present, with סיעתא דשמיא, accomplished that the Zionists didn't manage to Shmad any Frum Yidden for the past seventy years. Since the Parsha of the ילדי תימן in the years 1948-1954, thanks to the Gedolim, there was no Shmad taking place by the Zionists.

Yes, indeed, many Yidden in E.Y. did go off the Derech, but hey did so not because of Zionism. Had they lived in Monroe or New Square, etc., they most likely would have done the same and gone OTD.

Some will claim that the Zionists were the cause of so many of our Sephardi brethren adopting a secular lifestyle. Evidence has proven this to be wrong. The number of Sephardim who immigrated to Chutz Laaretz and forsaken their Yiddishkeit is more than tenfold that of the Israeli Sephardim.

Sephardic Torah Chinuch Mosdos in Eretz Yisroel versus Sephardic Mosdos in Chutz Laaretz is probably one hundred to one.

If it is not the Tziyoinim who are Shmading us, whom should we blame for the Shmad?

We should blame the entire non-religious community. Even those non-Frum מחללי שבת etc. who aren't עובר the שלש שבועות. The שנאת עמי הארץ towards the Frum community is not exclusive to the Zionists.

This Schmad is happening all over the Jewish world, in Williamsburg, Monsey, Lakewood, London, Bnei Brak Yerushalayim, and countless other cities where Yidden live.

The Shmad in Chutz Laaretz is much greater than that of the Tziyoinim in E.Y.
In Chu"l we have hundreds of thousands who intermarried with Goyim.

Part #2 - Stopping the Shmad

Sixty years ago, most of כלל ישראל adopted a new method of fighting the non-Frum,
 instead of calling them "עמלקים-ערב רב-נאצים", etc. We called them תינוק שנשבה - אחינו בני ישראל
 Instead of hurling rocks & stones at them, we showered them with brotherly love.

Instead of shouting angrily at them, "SHABBOS," we invited them into our homes and sang with them "SHABBOS HAYOM."
 Instead of chanting נמות ולא נתגייס, we chant - נקדש את שמך בעולם (הזה)
עם ישראל חי

This new method of warfare against secularism proved to be so effective that over a hundred thousand Yidden returned to become חוזרים בתשובה.
In the entire history of כלל ישראל, never has there been such a large amount of בעלי תשובה as in the past generation.

Sadly, in the past few years, the number of new בעלי תשובה has drastically dwindled. Our inaction, of not being מוחה, protesting, and putting a stop to the rioting לשם שמים, discourages Yidden from being חוזרים בתשובה.

People stuck in traffic for hours due to illegal demonstrations don't want to join a community that disregards others trying to get to work, get to appointments, or return home after a long day.

The millions who watch the nightly newscast of our boys rioting like Mr. Schwartz's boys in the African jungle will not be convinced to change their lifestyle and become שומרי תורה ומצוות.

TO STOP THE SHMAD. The Roshei Yeshivah, Rebbes, leaders, Parents, etc. must clearly & loudly declare,
לא זו הדרך - דרכיה דרכי נועם

Harav Yitzchok Yosef Permits Elevators on Shabbos "Le'chatcilah"

DIN: We are talking, of course, about specially modified elevators. In Israel, Shabbos Elevators have been modified with the latest scientific mechanism so that they are in line with halacha! 

But, .......and this is a big "butt", there are Charedie Poiskim who prohibit it nevertheless! 

A few years ago I bought a dira in an apartment building with a Shabbos Elevator! I live on the 3rd floor and B"H I can climb the stairs. The Vaad Habyis at the time shut off the elevator on Shabbos since no one, I guessed, needed to use it! 

Then my wife invited a relative for the Shabbos Night meal, and this relative couldn't climb stairs for health reasons, so I asked the Vaad Guy if he could activate the elevator for Shabbos so I could accommodate this relative!

He answered politely that he asked "Daas Teirah" and that the Rav paskened that the elevator is prohibited on Shabbos, regardless of the latest scientific modifications! 

So, again, I asked politely if he can tell me which floor that Rav lives in his building! He asked of what difference that makes, since the Rav paskened like that! I told him, "I'm just curious!" 

He answered, turning red like a boiled beet, that the Rav lives on the Ground Floor!

 I told him sternly and firmly that unless he gets a Rav that lives on the 3rd floor or higher, he better have that elevator activated! 

To make a long story short, he did in fact activate the elevator for that Shabbas!

Fast forward three years I notice that the elevator has been activated as a Shabbas Elevator every single Shabbos! So, again, I asked politely, completely innocent, "What happened? Did that Rav change his psak?" He didn't answer me, but it turns out that his father-in-law lives on the 2nd floor and he has "loi aleinu" Parkinson's disease and can't climb stairs! 

So I see that Chareidim listen to "Daas Teirah" as long as it doesn't affect them personally, once it hits home.... The Rav and his psak go out the window!

Zero mercy. President Trump just called out ABC to their faces for covering up for Biden

 

Trump puts the interviewer  on ABC in his place after he tried denying  that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is part of the MS 13 gang and that the tattoos  on his hands were "photoshopped."

President Trump goes off on ABC News’ Terry Moran after he asks him about his confidence level in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Trump: He’s a very good defense secretary.

Moran: Do you have a 100% confidence in him?

Trump: Do I have a 100% confidence in anything? It's a stupid question… Only a liar would say I have a 100% confidence.

I don't have a 100% confidence that we're gonna finish this interview.

Beit Shemesh: A City of Heroes

Abbas: According to Quran, Jewish Temple stood in Yemen

 

 Great News! Now we can all go up to the Har Habayit! 

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas claimed last week that in the Quran, the Jewish Temple is described as being in Yemen.

“In the Noble Quran—and I believe that also in other divine books—it says that the [First and Second] Temples were in Yemen,” said Abbas on April 23 in a televised speech during the 32nd PLO Central Council meeting in Ramallah.

He made the remarks in the context of his claim that Israeli authorities were targeting Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is built on the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temple used to stand.

“The Jews say, ‘This is ours, that was ours….’ No. That’s not what the Quran says,” said Abbas, according to a translation of his Arabic-language speech by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI.)

Scholars, including Nadav Shragai in his 2020 book “Al-Aqsa Terror: From Libel to Blood,” have identified false claims about the Quran’s localization of the Jewish Temple as a trend in a recent attempt at historical revision by Palestinian nationalists to deny Jewish ties to the place and strengthen Muslim or Arab ones.

“The attempts by Palestinian leaders like Yasser Arafat or Saeb Erekat to cast doubt on the Temple’s existence on the Mount or to distance it from that location by claiming that there was indeed a Temple, but in Nablus or Yemen, stem from one sole motive,” wrote Shragai: “The desire to expunge from the Temple Mount a competing Jewish historical narrative and a competing historical and religious awareness, since these could becloud their own historical and religious narrative on the Mount.”

Abbas’s predecessor, Yasser Arafat, also repeated this theory. On Sept. 25, 2003, Arafat told Arab leaders from northern Israel that no Jewish Temple had existed in the Land of Israel, but rather in Yemen. Arafat told his listeners that he had visited Yemen and seen with his own eyes the site upon which Solomon’s Temple once stood.

The previous year, another top PLO figure, Haj Zaki al-Ghul, stated that King Solomon had ruled over the Arabian Peninsula, and that it was there, not in Jerusalem, that he built his Temple.

Professor Yitzhak Reiter of the Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research, in a 2011 essay in The American Interest, traces the Yemen canard to Kamal Salibi, professor emeritus at the American University of Beirut and subsequently director of the Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies in Amman. In a 1985 book, Salibi claimed that biblical Jerusalem was located in the Arabian Nimas highlands, halfway from Mecca to Yemen.

The Quran does not name Jerusalem, but for centuries, Muslim scholars have acknowledged that the Jewish Temple stood there, including in the writings of Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Jarir al-Tabari, Muhammad al-Idrisi, who visited Jerusalem in the 12th century, theologian Taki ad-Din Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1328) and 14th-century historian Abd al-Rahman ibn Khaldun, according to Shragai.

The current Muslim denial of this history, particularly since 1967, is a relatively recent political fabrication aimed at delegitimizing Jewish claims and justifying incitement and violence under the false claim that “Al-Aqsa is in danger,” he wrote.

In the same speech, Abbas also used sharp-worded language against Hamas, urging it to free the Israeli hostages it is holding.

“[Hamas says:] ‘We won’t release the American hostage.’ You sons of dogs, release the [hostages] and spare us this! Strip the [Israelis] of their excuses,” he exclaimed.

That part of his speech grabbed headlines worldwide, with some commentators presenting the statement as evidence that Abbas is a pragmatist working to de-escalate the war in Gaza. Others interpreted Abbas’s criticism of Hamas as posturing for Western audiences, meant to serve the Palestinian Authority’s agenda of taking over Gaza from its arch-rival Hamas under Israeli and Western auspices.
