Israel Moves to Establish National Center Honoring Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

Israel’s Knesset gave preliminary approval Wednesday to legislation establishing a national center to preserve and promote the legacy of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the influential 18th-century Hasidic leader.

The bill, sponsored by Likud lawmaker Eliyahu Revivo, passed its first reading by a vote of 19-0 and was referred to the Knesset Education, Culture and Sports Committee for further consideration.

Under the proposal, the center would be established as a statutory public corporation responsible for preserving Rabbi Nachman’s teachings and historical legacy. It would include a research institute, archive, scientific and educational committee, and a museum dedicated to his life and work.

The legislation also outlines the creation of a public governing council and provides for state funding of the center. Oversight would fall under Israel’s minister of culture and sports.

Supporters of the bill said Rabbi Nachman’s contributions to Jewish thought and spirituality warrant national recognition similar to memorial institutions established for Israeli prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Rabbi Haim Druckman.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810), the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement and great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Hasidic Judaism. His teachings continue to attract followers around the world, and tens of thousands of pilgrims travel annually to his burial site in Uman, Ukraine.

Look what happened! Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman from New York who became involved in the pro-Palestinian movement

 This is Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman from New York who became involved in the pro-Palestinian movement and decided to move to Ireland.

There she met her partner, Ahmad Al-Saqar, a Palestinian refugee from Jordan, and converted to Islam. She frequently posted on social media about their trips together.

It didn’t last long. She was brutally beaten to death by him. Her disfigured body was found by her 13-year-old daughter. The suspect has been on the run since Tuesday.

Western leftist pro-Palestinian women and those willing to convert to Islam need to wake up. Or they could end up like this.

The Three Oaths

 

We chewed this over countless times, but I'm reposting because of Pearl, the "The Dangerous Bubbie"

But the truth is that at this point, no matter what position you take, it is completely irrelevant, because the majority of the World's Jewish population now live in Israel and the Navie Amos (9:13) prophesized that we will no longer be uprooted again from EY! 

וּנְטַעְתִּ֖ים עַל־אַדְמָתָ֑ם וְלֹ֨א יִנָּתְשׁ֜וּ ע֗וֹד מֵעַ֤ל אַדְמָתָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָהֶ֔ם אָמַ֖ר יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

I will plant them upon their land and they will never again be uprooted from their land that I have given them said Hashem, your God"

And as I said countless times, the 3 oaths are not mentioned in the entire Mishna Torah of the Rambam and not the entire Shulchan Aruch! In addition, there is no evidence that these oaths actually took place, where it took place and who witnessed it! 

by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner

Many people in the Diaspora claim the while an individual who makes Aliyah is doing a praiseworthy deed, there is no mitzvah at this time for the Diaspora community as a whole to make Aliyah. They maintain that Jews in the Diaspora are supposed to remain where they are until Mashiach arrives. They cite what are called the “Three Oaths" in the Gemara to substantiate their claim.

However, this claim has long ago been rejected by all of the early and later Torah Authorities as cited in the Pitchei T’shuva commentary on the Shulchan Aruch (Even HaEzer, 75:6). which states that the mitzvah of Aliyah is a Torah commandment that applies in all generations, as explained by the Ramban (Supplement to the Sefer HaMitzvot of the Rambam, Positive Commandment #4).

The "Three Oaths" state (Ketubot 110b-111a) that:

1. The Jewish People are not to return to the Land of Israel forcefully en masse ("as a wall").

2. They are not to rebel against the nations of the world.

3. That the nations of the world are not to subjugate the Jewish people excessively.

The following is a rundown of the opinions (from the treatise “The Essay on the Three Oaths") rejecting the mistaken insistence that the Three Oaths is the accepted Halakhah:

It is stated in the Gemara, Ketubot (111a), that Rabbi Yosei son of Rabbi Chanina said: Why are there these three oaths? For it is written three times in Song of Songs: "I adjure you...do not arouse the love..." In truth, there is also a fourth time where it says: "I adjure you... if you find my beloved." However, regarding this fourth oath the Gemara does not discuss what some explain as delaying the Redemption, because there it is not speaking about not arousing the love.

Rabbi Zeira adds additional oaths, and holds like Rabbi Levi: Why are there these six oaths?... So that they should not reveal the end (Rashi: the prophets among them.). And that they should not distance the end (Rashi: through their sins.)

Based on this Gemara, the Geonim, as well as the Rishonim and Acharonim, discussed the commandment of inheriting the Land by the People of Israel, dispossessing the nations dwelling there, and even the establishment of a state for the Jewish People in the Land of Israel. As is well known, one of the Hasidic Rebbes, the Satmar Rebbe of blessed memory, wrote two books against the idea of the State of Israel: Vayoel Moshe and Al HaGeulah Ve'al HaTemurah. Among other things, he based his opinion on the Three Oaths.

However, the overwhelming majority of the great Torah Authorities did not identify with all of the points comprising his view. We will present some of arguments explaining why the above-mentioned oaths do not contradict the establishment of the State of Israel (and the subsequent mass Aliyah of Jews to the Jewish Homeland.)

Ger indoctrinates their girls that their Rebbe is a "Malach Elokim"

 That's a homework assignment sheet, but this is not an ordinary sheet it has 4 key Ger beliefs!

1) The rebbe is the one who  spiritual and gashmias to all of Klall Yisrael

2) The rebbe is a malach elokim that walks amongst us

3) The entire world exists because of tzaddikim and it is in the merit of our rebbe that we even exist

4)The rebbe is the light of our generation, he directs us and his eyes can see the distance (future) 

Forgotten Chapters of Humanity

 

One morning in May 1860, Elizabeth Packard kissed her six children goodbye and expected to see them at dinner.

She never came home.

Her husband Theophilus — a minister, a man the community trusted — had a problem. His wife thought for herself. She questioned his theology openly, in public Bible study classes, without apology. She disagreed with him and said so out loud.

So he signed a paper.

Under Illinois law at the time, that single signature from a husband was enough to have a wife committed to a psychiatric asylum. No doctor. No hearing. No evidence of any kind beyond one man's word.

By that afternoon, Elizabeth — forty-three years old, a mother of six, guilty of nothing except having opinions — was locked inside the Jacksonville Insane Asylum.

Israel Launches First Jewish-Led Restoration of Mearas Ha'Macpielah in 2,000 Years

 

For the first time in 2,000 years, Israel is carrying out major conservation work at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, upgrading the ancient holy site with a permanent roof, electricity, air conditioning, drainage, lighting and fire-safety systems.

The project is more than maintenance. It is a historic assertion of Jewish responsibility at one of Judaism’s holiest places, after years of blocked upgrades and international attempts to reframe Hebron’s Jewish identity.

R' Amnon Yitzchok Ordered to Pay 22,000 Shekels for publicly reading intimate letters of a lady

 “The court ordered Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak to compensate a woman with 22,000 shekels after he humiliated her by publicly reading intimate letters. 

Rabbi Yitzchak claimed in his defense that the entire argument began over the question of whether the world is flat or round.”

But "how it began" is not why he was fined, he was fined because he publicly shamed a married women to thousands of people! 

Shocking Poll: Third of US Jews say Israel committed genocide in Gaza

  After decades of reliable American bipartisan backing for Israel, a new poll reveals a dramatic erosion of support for the longtime US ally, with rising opposition from Democrats and signs of division among Republicans.

The survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research arrives at a moment when a once-consensus foreign policy issue is increasingly polarizing Americans along partisan and generational lines, driven by criticism for Israel’s conduct nearly three years after the outbreak of its latest war with Hamas in Gaza, which began after the terror group led a brutal massacre of southern communities on October 7, 2023.

About one-third of US adults — including roughly half of Democrats — believe that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

Israel insists that it fights in accordance with international law, and has rejected allegations of genocide or other war crimes in its campaign against Hamas. It has noted evacuation warnings sent in advance of airstrikes; efforts, throughout most of the war, to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid; and Hamas’s systematic use of human shields.

About 2 in 10 Americans say Israel has not committed genocide, and the rest — about half — don’t know enough to say.

A similar share — 30 percent — of Jewish adults say Israel has committed genocide, although about half, 49%, say it has not.
