Israel's Separation From God resulted in an existential mistake which has never been remedied. We
have created a religion which separates us from our God and His blessings, but not His curses. More than 2000 years ago our
sages began creating our religion of substitutes. Like Korach's rebellion in the desert (Numbers 16:3)our sages felt entitled
to intervene in the transmission of God's laws to the people. Operating democratically, our arrogant sages made decisions
affecting the fate of Israel and the world regarding the practical understanding and implementation of God's laws. From then
on the people lost the understanding of the relationship between their compliance with Torah laws and their destiny and quality
of life, A.K.A. BLESSINGS.
When tragedy occurred they intensified their compliance with our sage's and rabbi's substitutions of God's actual Torah laws.
As a result they continued to suffer while attempting to find salvation through warped laws legislated by arrogant men who
took it upon themselves to legislate Jewish law instead of assisting our people to understand and comply with God's Torah
laws. When God required that we observe a law, we were provided with a substitute. When we examine our religion we see that
we have institutionalized an ersatz Israel which is a shadow of the ego of our sages and hence our selves. The Jewish world
created by implementing the egos' substitutes made the breach in our Divine duties or worship which Moshiach will repair (Isaiah
58:12) with the nation's assistance. Now we have a religion which does not glorify God because we have created our
lives on a big lie, i.e., on a foundation of material, egoistic, Esauvian principles with a spicing of Hebrew phrases. We
have glorified our egos and created a world of illusion based on this lie of substitutions of Torah laws. God is not giving
us riddles for us to disassemble His true laws and divine a substitute. This is idol worship because it sets up a false true
and makes it a reality! When He warns us about building cities (Numbers 24:19 ; Isaiah 5:8). He doesn't expect us to amplify
city culture. He expects us to create an environment based on His wishes and not our own. He does not care if you recite the
Shema 10 times a day if at the end of 2000 years all you can do is love yourself and actualize your agenda and not His by
observing the established idol worship, - yes avodah zarah- of what we call Judaism. Loving God is loving His laws and dedicating
ourselves - consecrating our lives and assets to building His world according to His Torah. We have built a lie, an
illusion, an olam hasheker, and yet we think we represent Him. We have created a desecration of God's name and yet, in our
arrogance and foolishness, we are so certain that our Judaism is lovely and true. It is true to the Satan and the spirit of
egotism. We have no substantial claim to any kind of observance at all. If we begin to love God with all our hearts and
souls and might, we will conquer our egos and the illusory culture and society founded on substitutions of Torah laws. We
would immediately spend time thinking how to implement Torah instead of speed reading Torah while we endlessly parrot our
Mishne, Talmud and halachot ad nauseum.
Just think about Kol Nidre. The most holy moment of the year, when God offers the opportunity of atonement,
is begun with a desecration of God. We say that all the vows we made or will make for this past or the next year are null
and void. I'm sorry my people, but the God we serve states explicitly that an adult male is responsible for vows. Now that
the Inquisition is over, I think it's safe to get back to reality and accept responsibility for our words. Sure it's
neat to be able to vow and lie and say blie neder and feel like we're home free after Yom Kippur. But our history shows
that we are in a fantasy land. We are a psychotic nation which insists on satisfying our appetites and not God's
intentions while we insist that we are truly serving Him and fulfilling His desires. And though He destroys our bodies and
the bodies of our loved ones, we refuse to sacrifice our egos and the world of our egoistic illusions so that we can truly
approach our Creator and observe His laws and do His will and create His world so His Spirit will be pleased to dwell
in our midst.
We have insulated ourselves by making it a taboo to consider that the curses that befall us throughout history
are curses. Even the Lubavitcher Rebbe said before he died that it is forbidden to even think of the Holocaust as a punishment.
If he returns in the techiat ha metim, he will be tried for his avodah zarah, as will the rest of our so-called sages and
teachers. I for one, was born in Foehrenwalt DP camp and grew up with endless stories of what was unquestionably a major punishment.
By the way, do not make the mistake of considering the noble suffering or heroic acts of Jews during this episode of this
catastrophic curse as somehow being a kiddush Hashem or some sort of worship. It was not. It was noble suffering or heroic
resistance. The establishment of the State of Israel, itself, by atheistic patriots and scoundrels as well as idol worshiping
religious Hasidim, was a form of resistance to persecution and the world's conspiracy to prevent Israel from becoming the
nation destined to, at long last, comply with God's Torah. Though the world also continues to suffer from being distanced
from God, it persists in remaining an antagonist to Israel's transformation while existentially awaiting Israel's deliverance
as the leader in the world which will bring everyone to the knowledge and understanding of true righteousness and the path
to God's blessings.
Above and beyond our Jewish laws, Sabbaths and holy days, rituals, ceremonies, rites of passage and traditional foods stand
three imperatives which are distinctly missing in Jewish society -love of God, fear of God and brotherhood.
We have found ways to legitimize interest in the banks of Israel
with rabbinic help. We have found ways to permit pagans to prepare our foods. We have found ways to have our hametz and eat
it too after Pesach, we have found ways to eat tortured, kosher slaughtered animals, we have found ways to farm our land during
shmita year, we have found sanctimonious ways to refrain from earning a living and from fighting in the Israeli army, we have
found ways to let others do work for us on the Sabbath, we have found ways of making our day of rest an occupation more fatiguing
than a weekday, we have found ways to name our months after foreign gods, we have found ways to enjoy the benefit of coveted
gold and jewels on pagan icons, we have found ways of observing Judaism without creating the social infrastructure required
by God for His entrance into our society and without obtaining His blessings of protection, victory, prosperity, perfect health
and longevity, and among many other things we have found ways to feel like the life we live is superior to that of people
different from us. We have found ways to bind Torah to our arms but not our actions, we have found ways to put Torah between
our eyes but not look at the world from God's perspective, we have found ways to produce food products with carcinogens and
other toxins and call them kosher, we have found ways to love our brethren with our pleasant words but not as our own selves,
we have found ways to litter even in Jerusalem and not love God's Creation and and we have found ways to bank and invest
and make loans just like the gentiles. Look at the Chafetz Chaim's view on money in "Achavat Chesed" and see if you can free
yourself from self love and begin the actual love of God. The few gemachts (free loan institutes) not withstanding, we have
never even tried to think about banking and investing in compliance with God's intentions. For more on this subject, send
me an e-mail.
The love of God is the chief command and the one we substitute more than any other. When you or others experience hell,
remember that this sin is the key reason for your suffering and our nation's suffering. What will it take to end the
greed - the lust for things and admiration and self love? Another chorban probably will not cure us. None of them has remedied
our sorry excuse for Torah living. I can say that fear of God has cured me of any profane thoughts, feeling and actions. I
love Him for allowing me the opportunity to truly love my family by observing Torah and I love HaShem more every day. Why
don't you, as individuals, revolt from the death sentence inherent in our substitute, alternate life styles?
Begin anew as real Jews with love of God paramount in every thought
word and deed. Do whatever you do for Him - He's the Boss, not your ego. He gave you the money and the chance to prove yourself.
So far we have failed disastrously because we think we're so smart and observant. This substitution mindset derailed
Israel from our holy, Divine mission and led to thousands of years of hell, rivers of blood and oceans of tears. Our
clever intellects evolved but our intelligence degenerated.
Now, let's wake up, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, raise
the truth of God, strip away the phony and profane, and rebuild ourselves and the nation on a foundation of Torah instead
of substitutes. The miracles we will see as a result of Torah true action will be more gratifying than any reward earned from
self love and gratification.
Unfortunately what our rabbis have not succeeded in helping us
to establish yet, after a couple of millennia, is a life style established on love of God with all our hearts and souls and
might, on fear of God, and on brotherhood.
This failure is not even noticed by our rabbis and almost all
of our people because we have transformed God's Torah laws into halachic lies sustained by blind men we call poskim, gedolay
hador, sages, gaonim and phony tzadiks. We are so warped by this culture of the big lie of rabbinic Judaism that we are more
interested in being liked by our enemies than we are in being liked by our God or our own people. We cannot survive as gentiles
wrapped in tefilin, Hebrew or Aramaic liturgy and talises. We are to provide the tent for Japhet, not live in his with a messusah
on it.
How vastly different Jewish society would be if we combined the
easy aspects of our Jewish life with those aspects we ignore to our own detriment. How wonderfully God would bless us if we
finally created the society in which His Spirit could feel at home amongst us. How wonderful to never again have to be concerned
about another holocaust like the one God will allow if we don’t transform ourselves and our society NOW.
So my people it is
time to stop being suicidal, intellectual snobs. It is time to be intelligent and take God SERIOUSLY. What makes a Jewish
Jew is not the clothing he wears or the yarmulka or any of superficial things by which we and others identify Jews. We
are a people taught to differentiate between kodesh v' chol, i.e., between the sacred and the profane. Imagine how
God sees our version of this injunction. He sees our secular society with all its profane infrastructure that quite precisely
emulates the profane society of Esau. And then he sees what we call the differentiating between holy and profane. He sees
the heter iskahs, the trite little blessings, the selling of land and hametz for small change with a note saying
we really aren't selling, He sees the nonsensical religious military deferments, He hears that we offend Him with choosing
the names of Babylonian gods for two of the months in our silly calendar because we are using the power of the profane
to battle the profane. And then He sees that there really isn't much difference between us and the rest of the world which
gives Him lip service and lives on profane, selfish, egotistical principles but offers Him some gratuitous ritual. So,
rather than choosing us for incredible blessings, He leaves us alone to suffer the circumstances of chance occurrences
as He turns away in disappointment and allows the curses of the Covenant to overtake us so the world can see that the God
of the Torah and Divine prophecy is still in His universe. Stop making the mistake that prayer is a military weapon,
strategy or tactic. You can believe, teach and convince that Tzviot HaShem wins battles with professionally enhanced
hazanoot and tefillah. You can create a gala Hazanoot Conference anywhere on earth, but when HaShem says He
is "The sword of our excellency" (Deuteronomy 33:29), He means our compliance with TRUTH, i.e., HIS TORAH. The hazanoot is
great, sincere prayer is nice, but they have no bearing on God's relationship to us if they are just professional or
amateur forms of lip service. Righteous action. Holy action. This is what our God demands. To teach otherwise is a lie. Teach
Torah. Read it slowly and intelligibly so we can understand our God. What's the point of reading
at 100 words per minute if no one in shul can understand it. What a waste of an instructive opportunity it is to dazzle the
congregation with mental gymnastics or aerobic tefillah if the soul is left hungry and the spirit weak. Now I love uplifting
hazanoot, but prayer and song can be performed by saints and sinners alike. We need to take time to educate our people how
to comply with and represent our God. Then we need to learn how to defend our loved ones with our hands - not our mouths.
The Maccabees didn't
pray or sing the Greeks away, they cut them down with their own hands and their weapons. Singing and prayer is to celebrate
our blessings. Righteousness - righteous action- insures the blessings.
We need a revolution
in Jewish society to make God of ultimate importance in our lives rather than just in our words.
It better happen
before Iran's nukes get launched, before Hamas' rockets deliver WMD and it better happen before another Israeli election delivers
us another pack of psychotic, suicidal leaders. It better happen too before the world gets fed up with Jews who bring curses
into their midst by being a reason for Islamic terror in their midst. God is waiting to bless us if we finally do the
right thing. The Jewish society as we know it is a farce compared with what God demands of us to create. Let's start taking
the steps to truly implement the Torah in practice today.
May
God have mercy upon our demented souls and allow us to learn how to do this without having to suffer annihilation. May you
all somehow experience a mystical, miraculous change of heart. And may your hearts become circumcised to love and serve your
God as He intends us to serve Him.
The new look at ourselves will of necessity include a critical look at our ancient rabbinic leaders. This will take maturity
and objectivity. In other words, it will take a dedication to truth. As a result we will see that this or that gaon was not
really wise. For example both Hillel and Akiva erred in explaining the meaning Leviticus 19:18. On Friday, 5/20/08 Dovid Goldwasser
gave a talk on JM in the Am, the Jewish Moments in the Morning radio program. He droned on and on about the greatness of R.
Akiva. The Torah shows us the weakness and faithlessness of Avraham Avinu most notably in Parshat Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:19)
where our Patriarch, and everyone else's too, actually gave his wife Sara to Paharoah who had sex with our Mother Sara. So
it is no sin on our part to investigate the treason of Akiva in teaching his students a false version of brotherhood. As the
radio broadcast progressed, Goldwasser droned that Akiva said of 'love your friend as your self' that it means 'what is hateful
to you, do not do to another'. Household pets know this. Dogs and cats know not to scratch you or bite you. Both Hillel and
Akiva are not only guilty of teaching us falsehood, they are guilty of treason. The fulfillment of God's commandment of brotherhood
in the true meaning of the law would have led to the establishment of Israel as a blessed nation, secure in its homeland.
When 24,000 of Akiva's students died in a plague, he was no wiser in his understanding of Torah's most important law. He went
about gathering more students and finally picked a false messiah to start a revolt which led us into exile for SUBSTITUTING
God's law of brotherhood for one that a household pet is capable of observing from birth. And today, our equally psychotic
and self congratulating leaders are clueless as they continue to parrot the treasonous version of brotherhood taught by Hillel
and Akiva.
Today, your first order of business is not to speedily bang out the Shacharit prayers as usual and once again make yourselves
abhorred by God for your endless hypocrisy. Today, walk into shul and discuss with your minyan the life threatening potential
of compulsively praying while ignoring the obvious fact that you, your minyan and our nation are guilty of sinning against
God because our failure to observe the brotherhood law is a 2+ millennia long treason. It is worse because if we just let
our children see that we refused to obey, they might decide to do it out of love of God, each other and their own children.
BUT WE HAVE ALLOWED OUR NATION TO INDULGE IN THE SIN OF IDOL WORSHIP by substituting a false meaning for GOD'S true meaning
of HIS commandment! I have explained this in another article, but if you want it again or if you want it taught personally,
send an e-mail.
As a result of our perfidy, God enfranchised Christians and Muslims as members of the monotheistic community (Deuteronomy
32:21). Christianity develpoed as such an aberration of Jesus that even his own people have refused to accept his poor soul
into our midst. And Islam has gathered the vilest brutish creatures on the planet and prepared them as the next rod of God's
wrath against our stubborn idol worshiping nation.
So in all earnest, I implore you, the more sagacious members of our nations in Israel and America to wake up immediately and
discuss this new perspective with everyone you know so we can start to serve our Creator in Truth.
