Rally for Temple Mount, tonight Tuesday, near Machene Yehuda. Shechina on Har Habayit weeping - Breaking the Silence - End the Lip service -

bs"d

Makom HaMikdash.

(Please try to read or skim the entire email in spite of its length and all its inadequacies.  I am crying out to the Chareidi community to reevaluate the position of the Gedoilim regarding Har Habayit, and Kever Yosef and to raise these points with the Gedoilim since I am not sure they read the Internet and they need to hear questions raised from their inner circle)

Our people are Silent except for select brave souls seeking truth and unafraid to speak up   Tomorrow, Tuesday evening a group of such individuals will be opening up a table near Machene Yehuda Market in Jerusalem from about 4pm-7pm in order to hand out information and enlist people to join the ongoing struggle for Jewish rights on the Temple Mount and to call for an end to the Muslim control of the holy site.  

This is part of an ongoing effort to draw attention to Jewish abandonment of the Temple Mount and to strengthen Jewish love for the Mount both in spirit and action. For the last two Thursdays rally vigils have been held at the entrance to Jerusalem and numerous people have already signed up to join future actions. We need the help of Jews and righteous gentiles around the world to help us with this ongoing campaign.  See below for details as per how you  can show support even when you live in Chutz L'Aretz. 

Chatasi Avisi Pashati!  I know that I too am far from innocent and far from deserving and worthy.  But is that the excuse  the Yetzer Hara uses to trick us into being silent about Har Habayit?
 
Har Habayit  the place of our Shechina,  the place of our Holy Temple, our most Holiest site, forlorn, cast aside and abandoned to the Waqf?  
 
Where is the outcry??? 
 
How can we tolerate the daily desecrations on Har Habayit? Arab Soccer games on Har Habayit!??? Arab Picnics?
 
In Shacharith Shabbos in Kedusha we say "Baruch Kevod Hashem Mimkomo", Blessed is the Glory of Hashem from His Place.  

Today, what Kavod, what Glory is there on Har Habayit? We, Am Yisroel are allowing this desecration. 
 
Sefer Vayikra 26:1 states "You shall not make idols for yourselves, and you shall not erect for yourselves a statue or pillar, and in your land you shall not emplace a flooring stone which to prostrate oneself - for I am Hashem your G-d" Sefer Vayikra (26:2), "Es Shabsosai Tishmoru UMikdashi Tirau Ani Hashem? My Sabbaths shall you observe and My Sanctuary shall  you revere -  I am Hashem. (translation Stone Chumash). 
 
How can we then be Mekayim, fulfill these Mitzvoth ...
 
(Please note the term Shabsosai  is the plural for Shabbos). 
 
"Mimkomcha Malkeinu Sofia, VeSimloch Aleinu Ki Mechakim Lach."  From Your Place our King, You May appear and reign over us.  For we do await for you. When will you reign in Zion? Soon in our days, forever and ever may You dwell there... " 
 ... But when we say "Mechakim Anachnu Lach",  we do await for you and "BeKarov Beyameinu", soon in our days,  is this merely lip service?  How does it resonate with the fact that we continue  not to protest and allow Har Habayit to be under the jurisdiction of the Waqf!?  
 

Rav Shteinman and Rav Eliashiv, your loyal flock is waiting for your direction to speak up and end this Chillul Hashem, this desecration of G-d's name on Har Habayit and the desecration by Kever Yosef both places paid for with Kesef Malei.

 Hillel ben David Web page: http://www.betemunah.org/city.html  writes: 

There were three parcels of land, in Eretz Israel, that were purchased by the Patriarchs:

 

  1. The Cave of Machpelah near Hebron where the Patriarchs and their wives are buried. This site was purchased by Avraham Avinu.
  2. The field near Shechem where Yosef HaTzaddik is buried. This site was purchased by Yaaqov Avinu.
  3. Har HaBayit, the Temple mount, in Jerusalem. This site was purchased by David HaMelech.
There are three cities at the heart of our conflict with the goyim (nations – Gentiles). I would like to look at these cities that are at the center of this conflict. As we shall see, the fight over these three cities is a fight over existence. Somehow the Goyim, the seed of the bondwoman, realize that possession of these three key cities is intrinsically connected with their existence.

Davka by Kever Yosef and Har Habayit have the Gedoilim discouraged Sovereignty and shown a willingness to forego Sovereignty and a willingness to be subjugated to the forces of Tuma? Kever Yosef is part of Eretz Yisroel and one of the 3 holiest sites. Kever Yosef, the burial place of Yosef HaTzadik, the symbol of Kedusha over the forces of Tuma handed over to the Palestinian Authority and Breslov Chasidim whose Avodath Hashem is in the realm of personal holiness are attacked and we say it is their fault because they went to a dangerous place? Damo B'Rosho?

 
Dear List, amv"sh As you can guess, I am getting flack for such emails. I get no pleasure from speaking up. It hurts me to read my own emails. People complain that I am mocking the Chareidi Rabbanim. 

I received an email admonishing me as follows: "The chareidi rabbis (Rav Shteinman) would say that as a matter of pikuach nefesh  (danger to ones life) Jews should not visit KeverYosef, and should not live in dangerous towns. And when they say that, you mock them. You may have a hard time accepting what they say, but that is the position of the leading halachic decisors of our people. If you go up against them you can not expect their support. ...You are not prepared to listen to what Rabbi Kamenetsky and Perlow say. You are not prepared to accept that the State may not be "reishit tzemichat hageulah". You are not prepared to accept their position on serving in the army or sheirut le'umi.You are not prepared to accept what they tell you about settlements. You are not prepared to accept much of what they have to say about any of this issues you are so dedicated to. Yet, you wonder why they won't support you. "
 
My response to this is that it is important to speak Emes and defend the Torah to end a Chillul Hashem and prevent the anger of Hashem against Am Yisroel. 
 
We say in Shabbos Shemoneh Esreh Shacharis,
"Yismach Moshe BMatnas Chelko".  Moshe rejoiced in the gift of his portion..
 
Moshe Rabbeinu gets the gift of Shabbos. Shabbos and Eretz Yisroel are synonomous. 
 
Shemittah. Shabbat LaHashem.  Kedushath Sheviis. The Sanctity of the Seventh year.  
 
 
"Velo NeSato Hashem Elokeinu LeGoyei Haaratzoth."  And You, Hashem our G-d, did not give the Sabbath,to the nations of the lands, Velo Hinchalto Malkeinu LeOvdei Pesilim"  nor did You make it the inheritance our King of the worshippers of idols. "Vegam Bimnuchato lo Yishkanu Areilim", and also in its rest  the uncircumsized will not be sheltered.  "Ki Leyisroel Amcha Nesato BeAhava LeZera Yaakov Asher Bam Becharta Am Mekadshei Shevii", For to Yisroel Your people have you given it in love to the seed of Jacob whom You have Chosen, the people that sanctifies the Seventh (year and day),"Kulam Yisbau VeYisangu", all will be sanctified and will be delighted "Mituvecha", from your Goodness!  (from Schottenstein Siddur edition of For the Sabbath and Festivals) Surely this is an accurate description of not only Sabbath Day but also of the Sabbath Year also known as the Shemittah Year.
 
So how does Moshe Rabbeinu, the Protector of Shabbos, go about to protect the sanctity of Shabbos?    
 
Beginning of Moshe's career he fights and murders the Mitzri and at the end of his career he fights Midian in last weeks Parsha, Parshat Matot.  
 
VeAsisa Hatov VeHayashar.
 
Why is Moshe Rabbeinu involved in murdering a Mizri and fighting a War? How is this related to properly keeping Shabbos?

The domination of Midian over the Israelites prevent the sanctity of the Jewish Nation.  Coexistance is not possible as long as the Midianites are dedicated to the annihilation of the spirituality and holiness of the Jews. The Jewish people must go to War in order not to be held under the forces of evil of Midian, a source of Tuma, unholiness .  The purpose is not merely to subdue the enemy but rather to raise the moral integrity of the Jewish People so they not be entrapped by Gilui Aroyos and Avoda Zara.  (ideas taken from Mrs. Shira Smiles responds to the tragic death of Leiby Kletzky z"l.) This seems to be consistent with the order of the Pesukim in Parshat Vayikra where there is the commandment against idolatry.
 
The Chareidi Rabbanim discourage the people from asserting Sovereignty over Har Habayit.  They discourage combat units in  the IDF. We know that "Vehaya Machanecha Kadosh" is reference to a military camp and not to be replaced with the battle cry for Tzniut (even though it can be an extension).  They discourage settling Judea and Samaria.  They encourage Yevul Nochri for the Shemittah year which means high prices for Jews and profits for the Goyim.  They are against Heter Mechira yet don't protest an actual PA State.  They look down upon those who have attempted to establish a Nascent Sanhedrin and a binding Judicial system that advocates Torah and Halacha over the secular Law of the Land.  They did not mobilize those that follow their rulings which number to the hundred of thousands and perhaps much more, to protest the giving away of Gush Katif and Northern Shomron.  When we question these rulings which turn a blind eye to the struggle for Judea and Samaria  it is considered as if we are  mocking our Sages?  

We  want to believe that they are pained when homes in  Gaza and Judea and Samaria are demolished but do they validate our right to be in these homes?  We are told that we do not understand G-d's ways and if we think we have explanations for attacks against us we are arrogant.  We are told to upgrade the Kedusha in our lives but Chareidim are discouraged to outwardly fight the PA, Hamas, Hizbollah, El Qaida threats, whose very essence is Tuma and Avoda Zara and the way to fight is to davan and  to insulate ourselves from it, sweep it under the rug so to speak, with  learnng Torah, doing Chesed and Maasim Tovim and "Teshuva" and dressing modestly. "Sure we know this Land is ours the Gedoilim say, but is there any  point in saying so publicly?  It only serves to anger the Goyim."  

Isn't Teshuva the physical act of returning to the Land and doing our physical Hishtadlus? Wasn't this the way of Moshe Rabbeinu in the Dor HaMidbar followed by Yehoshua?  

When we are commanded "Lo Tasur" one can not turn aside right or left from the rulings of the Sages it needs to come from That Place which the LORD shall choose.  How can this happen under the jurisdiction of the Waqf?


In Devarim  17 the Torah says 
ח  כִּי יִפָּלֵא מִמְּךָ דָבָר לַמִּשְׁפָּט, בֵּין-דָּם לְדָם בֵּין-דִּין לְדִין וּבֵין נֶגַע לָנֶגַע--דִּבְרֵי רִיבֹת, בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ:  וְקַמְתָּ וְעָלִיתָ--אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם, אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בּוֹ. 

8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose. 



ט  וּבָאתָ, אֶל-הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם, וְאֶל-הַשֹּׁפֵט, אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם; וְדָרַשְׁתָּ וְהִגִּידוּ לְךָ, אֵת דְּבַר הַמִּשְׁפָּט. 

9 And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment. 



י  וְעָשִׂיתָ, עַל-פִּי הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר יַגִּידוּ לְךָ, מִן-הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא, אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר יְהוָה; וְשָׁמַרְתָּ לַעֲשׂוֹת, כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר יוֹרוּךָ. 

10 And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee. 



יא  עַל-פִּי הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר יוֹרוּךָ, וְעַל-הַמִּשְׁפָּט אֲשֶׁר-יֹאמְרוּ לְךָ--תַּעֲשֶׂה:  לֹא תָסוּר, מִן-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-יַגִּידוּ לְךָ--יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאל. 

11 According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 



יב  וְהָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יַעֲשֶׂה בְזָדוֹן, לְבִלְתִּי שְׁמֹעַ אֶל-הַכֹּהֵן הָעֹמֵד לְשָׁרֶת שָׁם אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, אוֹ, אֶל-הַשֹּׁפֵט--וּמֵת הָאִישׁ הַהוּא, וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל. 

12 And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel. 
 

There are Righteous Gentiles who are far more ready than our Gedoilim to speak proudly and publicly as per our entitlement to the Land of Israel based on Torah.     In the CUFI Conference, Noahites United for Israel,  Fern Sidman reports in Frontpage Magazine http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/21/glenn-beck-stirs-crowd-at-christians-united-for-israel/

"Taking on those who have attempted to revise the Jewish narrative with statements geared toward separating the Jewish people from their religious and historical connection to the land of Israel, Pastor Hagee said, "We are still one nation under G-d, and it was G-d who gave the land of Israel to Abraham and it belongs to the Jewish people forever. The Jewish people are not occupying this land; they own this land."

In an Arutz7 article Ms. Sidman reports: 

"Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the session via satellite from Jerusalem.  Greeted with over 10 minutes of applause and enthusiastic cheers, Mr. Netanyahu extended his appreciation to those Christian supporters of Israel who have the "courage to stand up and speak the truth." 

Drawing the largest applause was Netanyahu's reference to the biblical connection of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland. "The Jewish people are not occupiers in the land of Israel. We have returned to the land of our forebears; of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and Solomon and we are here to stay." 
(but then he ruins it by confusing the issue "This conflict is not about Israel refusing to accept a Palestinian state") Why can't Netanyahu refuse to accept a PA State? (my comments)
 In Mishpacha Magazine p54 issue 368 reported that Bith Thiyang, "embryonic South Sudan's soon to be ambassador to Israel" says that "Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv  is the eternal capital of Israel". He said  "No one can decide other than what G-d Himself wrote in the Bible, which we all believe in, Eretz Yisroel in its entirety is the land of the JewsThis is their only Land and they must live here.  If you dare divide it," he warns in broken English but in a clear tone, "G-d will punish you.  In my opinion and in the opinion of my government ....The Jewish Nation itself has no right to divide its G-d given inheritance. The Jews are not permitted to abrogate the word of G-d".  This isn't Robin Ticker speaking.  This is Bith Thiyang.
 
  
So why haven't Rav Shteinman and Rav Eliashiv spoken similarly and clarify to the JEWISH PEOPLE and primarily to the CHAREIDIM  this Truth?  Why is it so obvious to Glen Beck, Pastor Hagee, Bith Thiyang and not to Chareidim?

 
  Tolerance of evil brings tragedy. Showing compassion to the cruel results in being cruel to the compassionate. Let us learn from Pinchas HaKohen and Moshe Rabbeinu to address the matter before tragedy strikes or strikes harder.     Moshe Rabeinu fights for Justice at the start of his life, he murders the Mitzri and at the end of his life fights the war wtih Midian. Pinchas slays Kozbi and Zimri and is called to lead the battle wtih Midian. 
 
The murder and dismembering of Fogel family hy"d  in Itamar close to Shchem is forces of evil unchecked. The brutal murder of Leiby Kletzky z"l another example. Both had red flags and could have been prevented had it been addressed when the red flags of the perpetrators had been dealt with more effectively before tragedy struck. Hashem Yishmor.   Moshe is upset at Bnei Reuvein and Gad and Chatzi Shevet Menasheh, Your brothers will fight and you stay here?  Pick 12,000 men to fight, 12,000 men to daven and 12,000 to carry supplies.  This War against evil belongs to every Jew and we fight them in every generation.  Like Bilam,  Lavan Bikesh LaaKor as Hakol, Lavan wanted to destroy everything, especially in the spiritual realm of holiness..  

 Mrs. Shira Smiles responds to the tragic death of Leiby Kletzky hy"d... In this Torah shiur (class) on Parshat Matot she said that we all have the potential, even Jews, to break down to lowest level chas vechalila.  Moshe Rabeinuu overcomes his negative charachter traits. Yosef fights it as well.  Yosef is placed into the hands of the Midianites who wish to destroy his spirituality into the forces of evil yet he overcomes. 

Surely we must learn from Moshe Rabbeinu how to respond otherwise we fall under bad influence and subjugated and we must fight it so that matters do not degenerate down a slippery slope of the path of no return.

In light of the recent New York passed law legalizing gay marriages and in light of the gay parade in Jerusalem, Jews must take an active stand to fight for Kedusha. Asserting our right and entitlement to Kever Yosef and Har Habayit go hand in hand with this fight against this Tuma. The reason this rally is today and not Thursday is because Yosef Rabin, one of the organizers said "We do not know if we will be holding it this Thursday, because of the abomination parade is set to take place this Thursday and many of our people are going to protest there."
