Chanukah & the Zionist Government by DIN

 

The Rambam writes as follows:

ש'גברו בני חשמונאי הכהנים הגדולים [על היוונים] והרגום והושיעו ישראל מידם והעמידו מלך מן הכהנים וחזרה מלכות לישראל יתר על מאתים שנה עד חרבן השני ,,,ומפני זה התקינו חכמים שבאותו הדור שיהיו שמונת הימים האלו שתחילתן מליל חמשה ועשרים בכסלו ימי שמחה והלל

"The Chashmonaim, the High Priests, defeated the Greeks, and saved the Jews, they then crowned a King from the Priests, and returned Jewish sovereignty to the Jewish people that lasted over 200 years and lasted up to the destruction of the Second Temple, and it was because of this, that the Rabbis decreed in that generation that Jews should celebrate 8 days of Simcha and Hallel and this should begin on the 25th day of Kislev"

Interesting Rambam...

Let's look back in history and see who those Jewish kings were during those 206 years.

In the beginning, for about 40 years, everything was rosy because the rulers were the sons of Mattisyahu Hakohein. But immediately after this very short reign, everything went down to the abys faster than you can pronounce the word "Chanukah"

King Alexander Yannai from the Chashmonaim, instigated the tzedoikim against the rabbanim, and caused a bloody civil war. Yannai, slaughtered without mercy hundreds of the Chazal, and murdered many of those who went up to the Har Habayis.

His children, Hyrcanus  and Aristobulus, fought over who should be king, and they were the ones who brought the Romans to Eretz Yisrael.

In the year 63BC, the Romans appointed Herod as the ruler of Judea, and he tortured and murdered all those who he thought opposed him and he obliterated the entire remnants of the Chashmonaim. 

The Romans strengthened their hold on Eretz Yisrael, and appointed similar despots, until the great  rebellion and the destruction of the Second Bais Hamikdash.

What do we see here? That a great part of those 206 years, the Jewish people, although they were ruled by Jews, were ruled by the most evil and cruel people in Jewish history.

And yet we celebrate Chanuka for thousands of years. We say the entire Hallel on each of those 8 days, something we don't even do on Pesach. 

Chazal had a lot of time, in fact hundreds of years to look back and reflect at those 206 years and see that those years were years of mayhem, torture and death, and yet because Jews were under Jewish rule, they decreed that those 206 years warranted an 8 day holiday. That's what the Rambam says.

To teach us that no matter how cruel and evil a Jewish leader was, he was still better than us have a goy rule over us.

Alexander Yannai the murderer was still better than Nevuchadnezer. Herod, an insane sadistically monarch a bastard,was still better than Titus.

What should we say today?

 Having Jewish sovereignty even if the leader is Ben Gurion or Bennet or even Lapid is still better than  a Czar Nicholas, Hitler or a Stalin.

But there are those who choose to look at the cup half full. And it is precisely about these people that the Gemarrah (Berachos 61:a) compares to a fly..the gemarrah says that the Yetzer Hara is like  a fly. The Gra explains, that a fly will be drawn to a tiny piece of garbage on a plate  even if 98% of the plate is clean, and that is how the yetzer hara works. He is  drawn and attracted to evil. These people seek and are drawn to only fault when there is so much to be thankful for.

There is a Hebrew pamphlet distributed in Israel called "Karov Eilecha." In this weeks edition someone asks Harav Yehoshua Shapira, the Rosh Yeshiva in Ramat Gan the following question:

"The Rambam writes that the miracle of Chanuka includes the fact that the Chamonaim returned Jewish Sovereignty for over 200 years to the Jewish people, but how can that be as they murdered members of Chazal in a civil war?"

Rabbi Shapirah answers:

"A Jew even if he sins is holy and his soul is a part of Hashem. All the sins that he does can contaminate his outside, but his essence cannot be touched. If this is said about a solitary Jew, how much more when we speak about the Jewish nation as a whole, as it's written that "chelek Hashem Amo" Of course this person who sinned should repent.

And so this is what we merited on Chanuka, that the Chashmonaim returned sovereignty to the Jewish people, and even though there was a tremendous downturn in spirituality in their reign, nevertheless it was still a Jewish government."

Why Yad Vashem Refuses to display the photo of the Grand Mufti and Hitler

 

I would like to introduce a notorious Nazi SS general, a leading Muslim cleric and the father of a nation - all in one.

This person is Haj Amin al Husseini.

Husseini was the powerful patriarch of the leading Arab clan in Palestine in the first half of the twentieth century. He used his political power and religious influence for his life's motif - the murder of Jews.

In an attempt to "mainstream” the Mufti of Jerusalem '' the British appointed him to an official position of power and responsibility.It did not work. It only gave him the platform and prestige to pursue his passion of killing Jews.

This he accomplished on numerous occasions, most notably by instigating the barbaric Hebron massacre of dozens of Jewish families in 1929. (Note: in 1929, there was no Zionist "apartheid occupation”, no "occupied territories" nor "settlers"; just Jews of all ages living in Hebron and horriblly killed by their neighbors)

A Nazi sympathizer, he fled British controlled Palestine during the war. He led a Nazi coup in Irag where he instigated the bloody "Farhud" pogrom against the Jewish community of Iraq.

He then fled to Germany where he was made an honorary SS general by Himmler and proceeded to do all he could in helping the Hitler regime kill Jews. He addressed the Arab world by radio from Berlin winning huge support for the Nazis. He raised divisions of Muslim that fought in the Nazi army. One of their tasks was to guard so that Jews do not escape the trains to death camps.

Husseini intervened in a deal that would have saved a train load of Jewish children for a bribe. Husseini would not allow one Jewish child to escape the gas chambers.

Together with Himmler he visited the death camps and drew plans to build a "facility" in the Dotan valley in Samaria where the half million Jews of Palestine would be gassed as soon as Rommel defeated the British.

After the war, SS general Husseini found refuge in Syria from war crimes judgment. Wherever he appeared in the Arab world he was received as a hero and mentor. His Nazi credentials together with his clerical position was the calling card that opened every door in the Arab world.

Yasar Arafat called him "the father of the Palestinian people". PA authority president Abbas repeated this accolade.

ISRAEL BANS FOREIGNERS

 

The State of Israel opened its borders to vaccinated foreign tourists on November 1, after a period of more than one and a half years during which tourists were barred from entering the country. Now, just four weeks after reopening, Israel is once again slamming its borders shut to foreigners.

In response to the new Omicron variant, Israel’s Corona cabinet has decided to, once again, bar all entry by non-citizens. This new edict will be in effect for 14 days, beginning tomorrow night (between Sunday and Monday) at midnight. It is presumed that foreigners who reside in Israel (visa holders) will also be included in the ban. Hence, foreign residents of Israel who find themselves abroad at this time should consider hastening their return to Israel. Similarly, foreign residents who were intending to travel abroad for Chanuka may wish to reconsider their plans.

At this time, it is unknown if those in the air, en route to Israel at the time the ban takes effect will be permitted to enter Israel. Similarly, it is unclear if those holding Entry Permits will be allowed to travel to Israel once the ban takes effect.

In a related development, Israelis returning from abroad, even if vaccinated, will now be required to quarantine for three days upon landing. They will be allowed to exit quarantine after receiving a negative Covid result on the third day.

Hikind Goes "Nuts" Defends the Vicious anti-semite Ilhan Omar

 

 There was once an English teacher in Torah Vodas that would say "shut up when you talk to me" that's what went thru my mind when I heard that Dov defended this vicious anti-semite. Dov is pandering to the muslim who married her brother and thinks that now that a Jew stood up to defend her, she will turn around and love Jews.

Jews marched and died for the "shvarzas" during the protests for the Civil Rights movement. What did we get in return? We were stabbed in the back as the blacks rioted and burned down Jewish Stores in Harlem. 

Dov ...shut up!

In a rare move, former NY Assemblyman Dov Hikind is defending antisemitic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. In a tweet Thursday, Hikind blasted Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado, after she poked fun at Omar’s Muslim faith.

Frum People Desecrate Kever of HaRav Aharon Leib Steinman Day Before Yartzheit

 

Question: Why are we at all surprised when goyim deface our cemeteries? 

The frummies that did this have friends, wives, brothers, sisters, parents  and some even have children. Don't tell me that we don't know who these guys are. If we don't start publicizing who these mamzeirim are and throw them out of our communities then we ought shut the hell up when goyim do the very same thing! There is no question that the ones who vandalized the grave are "Bnei Torah" no question. I'll bet that not ONE was a "baalabus"

It's interesting to note that there is a Medrish that states that the one who dipped Yosef's tunic in blood was none other than Yissacher. Let that sink in!

The kever of Maran Hagaon HaRav Aharon Leib Steinman zt”l was desecrated overnight by vandals who defaced it with black spray-paint.

The sickening act against one of the late Gadol Hador came just ahead of his fourth yahrtzeit (on Motzei Shabbos), and was reportedly perpetrated by certain extremists who have attacked Rav Aharon Leib in the past.

The act of vandalism was condemned by many, including Religious Affairs Minister Matan Kahana, who called it a “heinous act,” as well as former PM Netanyahu, who called the vandalism “despicable.”

“I was shocked to the depths of my soul by the criminal and inconceivable desecration” of the matzeiva,” Shas leader Aryeh Deri said. “I call on the law enforcement authorities to capture the perpetrators quickly and punish them with the full severity of the law.”

Thousands of Satmar Chassidim Celebrate "Chuf Alef Kislev" the Day That Satmar Rebbe was saved from the Holocaust by a Zionist

כ"א כסלו סאטמאר מהר"א pic.twitter.com/ieRTjmMj6y

— Hasidic_3 (@Hasidic_3) November 25, 2021

Satmar Rebbe and his Family were rescued from the hungry chimneys of Auschwitz by securing seats on the Kastner Train, arranged by the a sworn Zionist, the Hungarian Rudolpf Kastner. My grandparents living in the same area were gassed to death, and they would have been grateful to G-d and his "Shaliach," Rudulf Kastner, should they have been on this train. Of course there isn't one guy in the  crowd that knows this little tidbit, because their lying elders keep this little fact from their holy ears.

They built an entire chassidus on an anti-Zionist dogma, and this fact if it should get out would shatter the entire foundation of their chassidus. So they jump up and down oblivious of the fact  that if it wasn't for Kastner, the Zionist" their rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum's life would have had a different ending (chas ve'shalom). 

Next time you are in Israel try to visit Yad Ve'Shem; you will notice a path called "The Path of the Righteous" this is a path that has the name of goyim that saved Jews during the Holocaust.

Recognizing "goyim" ..."poilishe goyim" among others that went out of their way to save a Jew. 

But a "Holy Rabbi" a leader of thousands didn't have the curtesy to even name another Jew that saved his life.

What then should we expect from his followers?

Beit Shemesh Extremists Scream "Nazis" on Police that are Monitoring Traffic Where an 8 Year old Got Killed

 

As I have written many times, there is an neighborhood  in Beit Shemesh called "Beit Shesh Bet" where the extremists live. 

They have a "round-about" in "Yehuda Square" where accidents occur on a daily basis. Two weeks ago an 8 year old girl, an orphan, got killed crossing the street. Some of the "normal" residents saw this as a sign of "mida kneged mida' because an hour before the tragedy, extremists pulled out an 8 year old boy, the great grandchild of R' Sternbuch, out of school because they didn't agree with Rav Sternbuch's psak. Interestingly, Rav Sternbuch himself is an extremists and is actually one of the leaders of this group. As they say "be careful what you pray for, you may get answered" 

The municipality of Beit Shemesh decided to place two police officers at the site to help secure the safety of the pedestrians and manage traffic  in order to prevent further casualties. 

The extremists didn't want any part of that and started screaming "nazis' at the police and a riot occurred between the "normal" residents and the savages! The extremists would rather children get killed  than to have police officers in the neighborhood.

Can "gedoilim" make mistakes ??

Harav Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal hy"d

Many have emailed me over the years and asked this very question. These are genuine frum people, "erlicaha yiddin" who respect  "gedoilim" whose hashkafas and halachic psaks have been proven absolutely wrong and they are wondering and questioning why these gedoilim never ever retracted? 

They question why these gedoilim deliberately paskened against the very Torah they represent? 

Well, there was one Rabbi who did retract his previous position and wrote a sefer trying to set the record straight. This Sefer cannot be found in any Satmar Seforim Store! 

It was written by Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Teichtal. A noted Rosh Yeshiva and Av Beit Din, he was one of the leaders of the Ultra-Orthodox community in Europe and a vehement anti-Zionist until the events of the Holocaust revolutionized his thinking.

 Realizing that the purpose of the unspeakable persecution was to arouse the Jewish People to return to Eretz Yisrael, he publicly admitted the error of his former beliefs and vowed to write a scholarly treatise proving that the obligation to live in the Land of Israel applied in all times. 

Hiding from the Nazis in an attic in Budapest, without any sefarim at his disposal to cite, he wrote his powerful argument, “Eim HaBanim Semeichah,” quoting hundreds of long Torah sources by heart. Rabbi Teichtal was murdered  on a train on the way to the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1945. His sefer, Eim Habanim Semeicha, however, was hidden with a Gentile family and rescued by his children after the war.

Regarding the diehard Ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionists, who clung to their opposition to Jewish immigration to Eretz Yisrael, even in the face of the horrors of the Holocaust, Rabbi Teichtal writes:

"Those who have a predisposition on this matter will not see the truth and will not concede to our words. All of the evidence in the world will not affect them, for they are smitten with blindness, and their inner biases cause them to deny even things which are as clear as day.

 Who amongst us is greater than the Spies? 

The Torah testifies that the Spies were distinguished, righteous individuals, the Torah Gedolim of the Tribes. Nonetheless, since they were influenced by their desire for honor and authority, they rejected the desirable Land, and led others astray, causing this bitter exile, as our Sages explain. Yehoshua and Calev began to argue with them and attempted to prove the authenticity of Moshe and his Torah, proclaiming, ‘Let us ascend at once!’ They even brought lengthy arguments and proofs to show that Israel would succeed in conquering the Land, as Rashi states. Nevertheless, they were unable to convince them, for the Spies were prejudiced by hidden motives.

"The same holds true in our times, even among Rabbis, Rebbes, and Hasidim. This one has a good rabbinical position; this one is an established Admore, and this one has a profitable business or factory, or a prestigious job which provides great satisfaction. They are afraid that their status will decline if they go to Eretz Yisrael. People of this sort are influenced by their deep-rooted, selfish motives to such an extent that they themselves do not realize that their prejudice speaks on their behalf. People of this sort will not be convinced to accept the truth, even if they are shown thousands of proofs from the Torah. This is what happened to with the Spies."

On a deeper, more Kabbalistic level, Rabbi Teichtal explains how even learned Torah scholars can be caught in the sin of discouraging aliyah to Israel. He quotes the brilliant and renowned scholar, the holy Rabbi Eliyahu of Greidetz, who wrote:

 "Human intellect dictates that we initiate the process of redeeming the Land of Israel, and then Hashem will complete it. One must understand the great importance of this matter, for the evil forces, the kelipot, gain strength even among the most righteous individuals, in order to nullify this great good. This is so because the entire strength of the kelipot depends on the Exile. When the Exile dissolves, so will the kelipah, as the Talmud states in tractate Sukkah."

Rabbi Teichtal continues:: 

"This holy Jew, whom the author of the ‘Nefech Chayah’ calls ‘The holy Rabbi who resembles an angel of the L-rd of Hosts,’ states explicitly that the reason there are tzaddikim who oppose this matter is because the kelipot have become strong within them. It entices them to nullify this great matter for which the Holy One Blessed Be He constantly longs. He longs for us to return to our Forefathers’ inheritance, for every Jew has an obligation to strive to return to our Holy Land, as I will prove unequivocally from the words of our Sages. In this way, we can bring the final Redemption closer, speedily in our days, Amen."

"The essential point is that Hashem is waiting for us to take the initiative, to yearn and long for the return to Eretz Yisrael. He does not want us to wait for Him to bring us there. When we, of our own volition, truly and with all of our strength, desire and strive to return to the Land, then G-d will bring our work to a successful end."

Belgium Bastards Will label products from Judea and Samaria

 

Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN and Chairman of World Likud, Danny Danon, on Wednesday condemned Belgium’s decision to label products originating in Judea and Samaria.

“Belgium's decision to label Israeli products is outrageous and concerning. All action that supports the boycott of Israeli products and the BDS movement will receive a harsh response,” tweeted Danon.

“I invite the Belgian representatives to visit the industrial areas in Judea and Samaria where Israelis and Palestinians work together to develop the economy of the region,” he added.

Walla! reported on Wednesday that Belgium had adopted a new policy under which tax authorities will immediately begin examining merchandise which arrives from Israel, labeling those products which are produced in Judea and Samaria.

At the same time, the Belgian government will begin examining a full boycott of the products, and companies will be warned that they should not involve themselves in "human rights violations" in Judea and Samaria.

In response, Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll cancelled meetings he had been scheduled to hold with representatives of the Belgian government and parliament in Brussels.

Turx from Ami Named Political Contributor for Newsmax TV

 

Jake Turx, the popular White House correspondent for Ami Magazine, has again made history. Turx (aka Avraham Yaakov Terkeltaub) has been named political contributor at Newsmax, a fast-growing conservative cable television news outlet.

He becomes the first ever Chassidic yid to hold such a coveted position on a television news channel.

As senior White House correspondent and chief political correspondent for Ami, Turx has interviewed dozens of high-profile politicians, including members of Congress and presidential candidates.

He made history in 2017 when he became the first Chassidic Jewish member of the White House press corps.

Turx has appeared on Fox News, CNN, NPR, and other national news outlets. According to Nielsen, Newsmax TV is the 4th highest-rated news channel in the country.

A win is a win.

But when you are a Republican running for office in Democrat-filled New York City, you are a female running for a position that is dominated by men and you are in your first campaign expected to end in a razor close-finish but wind up winning by more than 25 percent of the vote, it’s more than simply a win.

Divorce and immigration attorney Inna Vernikov, 37, defeated special-education teacher Steve Saperstein to secure the City Council seat in the 48th District, which covers areas of South Brooklyn, by garnering 12,082 votes to 6,821 or about 64 percent to 36 percent. The seat was vacated by former councilman Chaim Deutsch after his conviction for tax fraud. Vernikov said she was not surprised to win by a large margin but surprised at how large it was.

Washingto Post Has a 4,494 Word Essay on Israel And It's All a Bunch of Lies

The Post’s Nov. 22 story, titled “Highway of Hope and Heartbreak,” was clearly a major project. The dispatch was authored by Jerusalem bureau chief Steve Hendrix, and reporters Shira Rubin and Sufian Taha, and ran an astonishing 4,494 words. It contained more than 40 photographs and a video—all to chronicle “how remote the prospect of a Palestinian state—and a resolution of the Middle East conflict—has become.”

The story’s concept centers around a road trip along Route 60, which the Post claims “reveals how distant” the prospect of a two-state solution really is. The 146-mile journey “begins and ends in Israel,” but “most of it … traces the spine of the occupied West Bank.” Should “Palestinians ever achieve statehood,” the Post tells readers “Route 60 will be its national road.”

Despite expending thousands of words and dozens of glossy photographs, the Post can’t bring itself to tell readers the truth about why there isn’t a Palestinian state.

As the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) has documented, Palestinian leaders have rejected numerous offers for a Palestinian state if it means living in peace next to Israel.

Less Cholent and Challah: Nutritionists take aim at Charedi diets

 

The Charedi community, with on average seven children per family, is characterized by poor diet, high rates of obesity, anemia and diabetes. In order to prevent the development of chronic diseases later in life, it is essential to assist parents in providing their children with healthier nutrition.

A new study of dietary habits in the Charedi community, conducted by the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine of Bar-Ilan University, reveals some of the origins of poor nutrition and offers concrete solutions to nutritionists and health care professionals on how to promote healthier eating practices.

Twenty key leaders from the Gur and Chabad Charedi communities in Israel – including rabbis, rabbis' wives, parents, and educational and health professionals -- were interviewed in-depth for the study, published in the journal Appetite.
