Should You Keep Chanukah this year? The following TRUE or FALSE quiz will be helpful. Do you believe?…
- That interfaith-dialogue with Christians is a noble endeavor that serves to bring the two faith communities closer.
- That Jews should take any and all aid from Christian evangelicals and messianic Christians.
- That Israel should continue to grant equal rights to all of her citizens and allows all faiths to worship as they see fit.
- That in the absence of any danger to the mother, a woman should have the right to abort a fully formed fetus.
- That homosexuals should have the right to parade through the streets of any city in Israel. Or that homosexuals should have the right to marry in Israel.
- That a Halachic definition of “who is a Jew” has no place in state affairs.
- That Israel should continue to endanger our own soldiers to protect Arab civilians in order to retain a moral high-ground.
- That havlagah or “self-restraint” is a Jewish ethic that must be a part of the IDF’s ideology.
- That even theoretically, a Halachic state (by truly G-d fearing people of Torah) is contrary to democracy.
If you answered TRUE to even one of these questions, then in the spirit of intellectual integrity, you should boycott Chanukah this year. Chanukah symbolizes Judaism’s complete rejection of the profane influences of the world. It represents the commitment to oppose those foreign ideologies that threaten the nation and if necessary to use the sword in defense of the Jewish body and soul. This is the Chanukah that leftists want to destroy.
Missionaries In Our Midst
I have written several articles about the spiritual threat of missionaries in EretzYisroel, in particular, the danger of evangelical Christians who have infiltrated religious Jewish communities in the Shomron. Many kipah wearing Jews have been actively bought by the endless sum of Christian dollars that the enemy is able to throw at Jews and their various projects, in exchange for a ticket into their daily lives. Some of these Jews are misguided and naive. Others are not so innocent. Hakadosh Baruch Hu knows what is in every man’s heart.
The problem is that these spiritual threats would have never been able to infiltrate into the Torah world without the aid of self-appointed leaders who will have to answer for their sins. Some are wont to spout the nonsense of a nonexistent Judeo/Christian ethic, which by its very definition is an oxymoron and contrary to everything we stand for. The Jewish ethic is by its very nature contrary contrary to Christianity. No such concept exists. And to align with idolatry in the war against the Arabs is to sacrifice the Jewish soul for the illusion of a united Christian front against the Arabs. There are two kinds of death for the Jew. And throughout history, the death of the Jewish soul is the greatest tragedy of all.
If you support interfaith-dialogue with Christians, taking money from evangelicals, and allowing Esau to pick grapes in the liberated vineyards of Judea and Samaria, then you share the values of a Jewish hellenist. I don’t care how well you know the laws of shmitah, or whether you attend a daily dafyomi. Those with seichal know precisely whats going on, and no Rabbi on earth can kashera pig. To those who have befriended the notorious Waller family and their cohorts, they are aligning yourself with idolaters who want to harm Am Yisroel. The actions of such groups as Hayovel run by the Wallers are as dangerous an assault as anything Am Yisroel has ever faced. Those who support them are Jewish hellenists. Matityahu would have loathed the Wallers, and he would have had no patience (to say the least) for those who are aiding them.
