1. So says the Lord: In the wilderness, the people who had escaped the sword found favor; He [therefore] went to give Israel their resting place. א. כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה מָצָא חֵן בַּמִּדְבָּר עַם שְׂרִידֵי חָרֶב הָלוֹךְ לְהַרְגִּיעוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל:
2. From long ago, the Lord appeared to me; With everlasting love have I loved you; therefore have I drawn you to Me with loving-kindness. ב. מֵרָחוֹק יְהֹוָה נִרְאָה לִי וְאַהֲבַת עוֹלָם אֲהַבְתִּיךְ עַל כֵּן מְשַׁכְתִּיךְ חָסֶד:
3. Yet again will I rebuild you, then you shall be built, O virgin of Israel; yet again shall you be adorned with your tabrets, and you shall go out with the dances of those who make merry. ג. עוֹד אֶבְנֵךְ וְנִבְנֵית בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד תַּעְדִּי תֻפַּיִךְ וְיָצָאת בִּמְחוֹל מְשַׂחֲקִים:
4. Yet again shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria, indeed planters shall plant [them] and redeem [them]. ד. עוֹד תִּטְּעִי כְרָמִים בְּהָרֵי שֹׁמְרוֹן נָטְעוּ נֹטְעִים וְחִלֵּלוּ:
5. For there is a day, the watchers shall call on the mountains of Ephraim; Rise! Let us go up to Zion, to the Lord, our God. ה. כִּי יֶשׁ יוֹם קָרְאוּ נֹצְרִים בְּהַר אֶפְרָיִם קוּמוּ וְנַעֲלֶה צִיּוֹן אֶל יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ:
6. For so says the Lord to Jacob, "Sing [with] joy and shout at the head of the nations, make it heard, praise, and say, 'O Lord, help Your people, the remnant of Israel!' " ו. כִּי כֹה | אָמַר יְהֹוָה רָנּוּ לְיַעֲקֹב שִׁמְחָה וְצַהֲלוּ בְּרֹאשׁ הַגּוֹיִם הַשְׁמִיעוּ הַלְלוּ וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשַׁע יְהֹוָה אֶת עַמְּךָ אֵת שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל:
7. Behold I bring them from the north country and gather them from the uttermost ends of the earth, the blind and the lame amongst them, the woman with child and she who travails with child all together; a great company shall they return there. ז. הִנְנִי מֵבִיא אוֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹן וְקִבַּצְתִּים מִיַּרְכְּתֵי אָרֶץ בָּם עִוֵּר וּפִסֵּחַ הָרָה וְיֹלֶדֶת יַחְדָּו קָהָל גָּדוֹל יָשׁוּבוּ הֵנָּה:
8. With weeping will they come, and with supplications will I lead them, along brooks of water will I make them go, on a straight road upon which they will not stumble, for I have become a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn. ח. בִּבְכִי יָבֹאוּ וּבְתַחֲנוּנִים אוֹבִילֵם אוֹלִיכֵם אֶל נַחֲלֵי מַיִם בְּדֶרֶךְ יָשָׁר לֹא יִכָּשְׁלוּ בָּהּ כִּי הָיִיתִי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְאָב וְאֶפְרַיִם בְּכֹרִי הוּא:
9. Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it on the islands from afar, and say, "He Who scattered Israel will gather them together and watch them as a shepherd his flock. ט. שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר יְהֹוָה גּוֹיִם וְהַגִּידוּ בָאִיִּים מִמֶּרְחָק וְאִמְרוּ מְזָרֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל יְקַבְּצֶנּוּ וּשְׁמָרוֹ כְּרֹעֶה עֶדְרוֹ:
10. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and has saved him out of the hand of him who is stronger than he. י. כִּי פָדָה יְהֹוָה אֶת יַעֲקֹב וּגְאָלוֹ מִיַּד חָזָק מִמֶּנּוּ:
11. And they shall come and jubilate on the height of Zion, and they will stream to the goodness of the Lord, over corn, wine, and oil, and over sheep and cattle, and their soul shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall have no further worry at all. יא. וּבָאוּ וְרִנְּנוּ בִמְרוֹם צִיּוֹן וְנָהֲרוּ אֶל טוּב יְהֹוָה עַל דָּגָן וְעַל תִּירֹשׁ וְעַל יִצְהָר וְעַל בְּנֵי צֹאן וּבָקָר וְהָיְתָה נַפְשָׁם כְּגַן רָוֶה וְלֹא יוֹסִיפוּ לְדַאֲבָה עוֹד:
12. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the round dance with music, and the young men and the old men together, and I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow. יב. אָז תִּשְׂמַח בְּתוּלָה בְּמָחוֹל וּבַחֻרִים וּזְקֵנִים יַחְדָּו וְהָפַכְתִּי אֶבְלָם לְשָׂשׂוֹן וְנִחַמְתִּים וְשִׂמַּחְתִּים מִיגוֹנָם:
13. And I will refresh the soul of the priests with fat, and My people-they will be satisfied with My goodness, is the word of the Lord. יג. וְרִוֵּיתִי נֶפֶשׁ הַכֹּהֲנִים דָּשֶׁן וְעַמִּי אֶת טוּבִי יִשְׂבָּעוּ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה:
14. So says the Lord: A voice is heard on high, lamentation, bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, she refuses to be comforted for her children for they are not. יד. כֹּה | אָמַר יְהֹוָה קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי בְּכִי תַמְרוּרִים רָחֵל מְבַכָּה עַל בָּנֶיהָ מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם עַל בָּנֶיהָ כִּי אֵינֶנּוּ:
15. So says the Lord: Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for there is reward for your work, says the Lord, and they shall come back from the land of the enemy. טו. כֹּה | אָמַר יְהֹוָה מִנְעִי קוֹלֵךְ מִבֶּכִי וְעֵינַיִךְ מִדִּמְעָה כִּי יֵשׁ שָׂכָר לִפְעֻלָּתֵךְ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה וְשָׁבוּ מֵאֶרֶץ אוֹיֵב:
16. And there is hope for your future, says the Lord, and the children shall return to their own border. טז. וְיֵשׁ תִּקְוָה לְאַחֲרִיתֵךְ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה וְשָׁבוּ בָנִים לִגְבוּלָם:
17. I have indeed heard Ephraim complaining, [saying,] "You have chastised me, and I was chastised as an ungoaded calf, O lead me back, and I will return, for You are the Lord, my God. יז. שָׁמוֹעַ שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶפְרַיִם מִתְנוֹדֵד יִסַּרְתַּנִי וָאִוָּסֵר כְּעֵגֶל לֹא לֻמָּד הֲשִׁבֵנִי וְאָשׁוּבָה כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי:
18. For after my return I have completely changed my mind, and after I had been brought to know myself, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, yea I stood confounded, for I bore the reproach of my youth." יח. כִּי אַחֲרֵי שׁוּבִי נִחַמְתִּי וְאַחֲרֵי הִוָּדְעִי סָפַקְתִּי עַל יָרֵךְ בֹּשְׁתִּי וְגַם נִכְלַמְתִּי כִּי נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפַּת נְעוּרָי:
19. "Is Ephraim a son who is dear to Me? Is he a child who is dandled? For whenever I speak of him, I still remember him: therefore, My very innards are agitated for him; I will surely have compassion on him," says the Lord. יט. הֲבֵן יַקִּיר לִי אֶפְרַיִם אִם יֶלֶד שַׁעֲשׁוּעִים כִּי מִדֵּי דַבְּרִי בּוֹ זָכֹר אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ עוֹד עַל כֵּן הָמוּ מֵעַי לוֹ רַחֵם אֲרַחֲמֶנּוּ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה:

Analysis, Netanyahu UN Speech. September 29, 2014. Netanyahu starts off on target but then veers off course. Let's speak the Truth! William K.Langfan! Moderate Fatah???

bs"d
Full Transcript: Prime Minister Netanyahu's Speech at the United Nations General Assembly, 2014 (VIDEO)
SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 1:56 PM
The beginning of his speech was amazing as usual!  Prime Minister Netanyahu is an orator par excellence. Then he starts to veer off....
"I believe peace can be realized with the active involvement of Arab countries — those that are willing to provide political, material and other indispensable support. I'm ready to make a historic compromise, not because Israel occupies a foreign land. The people of Israel are not occupiers in the land of Israel. (Applause.) History, archaeology and common sense all make clear that we have had a singular attachment to this land for over 3,000 years.
My question to PM Netanyahu is:  Why does Israel have to make any historic compromise that annuls G-d's Covenant with the Jewish People.  As Netanyahu himself says: The people of Israel are not occupiers in the Land of Israel (Applause). 
 Mr. Prime Minister Netanyahu, What about our Torah?  Why do you only talk about history, archaeology and common sense?  
Hamas has no problem with raising religious justification for Domination.  The following is courtesy of StandWithUS    http://www.standwithus.com/online_booklets/HamasCharter/HamasCharter.pdf
In Article Six of the Hamas Charter it says "The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam.  It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.  Article Seven speaks of killing Jews.  The Slogan of the Islamic Resistance Movement Article Eight. "Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.  They want "All of Palestine" Article Eleven "The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day.  It or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up..... "Israel can not exist" Article Twenty Seven ....we are unable to exchange the present or future Islamic Palestine with the secular idea.  The Islamic mature of Palestine is part of our religion and whoever takes his religion lightly is a loser.
So apparently according to the Hamas Charter Netanyahu is a loser when he takes his religion lightly.  Maybe we should be believe them. 
 "When Someone Says they Want to Kill  You.  Believe Them."  Elie Wiesel Holocaust Survivor. 
William K. Langfan DEATH CAMP LIBERATOR WARNS ISRAEL ABOUT HAMAS DOCTRINE. Amazing Video! 
 Well you can argue that Hamas and the PLO are different.  Hamas is radical and PLO is moderate and a possible peace partner.  Obviously this is Netanyahu's basis for the second half of his speech.  To this William Langfan has the $200,000 challenge!

 U.S. PHILANTHROPIST OFFERS ISRAELI MINISTER $200,000 TO FIND CHANGE IN PALESTINIAN CHARTER  http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/05/05/u-s-philanthropist-offers-israeli-minister-200000-to-find-change-in-palestinian-charter/#comments
JOSHUA LEVITT
MAY 5, 2014
ALGEMEINER

 Israeli Finance Minister Yair Lapid on Monday was offered a $200,000 donation if he could back up a statement he made toThe Wall Street Journal that thePalestinian National Council has officially renounced terrorism.

 William Langfan, a Jewish American philanthropist, said the PNC's charter, created in 1968, has, in fact, never been changed, still calling for the destruction of Israel, even though that was agreed to be removed in 1998, "pursuant to Arafat's January 1998 letter to President Clinton."

 In a letter to the editor, seen by The Algemeiner, Langfan, a New York property investor now retired in Palm Beach, Florida, wrote:
"Nicholas Casey in his recent Wall Street Journal article 'Palestinian Unity' stated that some Israeli government officials say that negotiations with Hamas could one day become possible if it recognizes Israel."

 "He then quotes Yair Lapid, 'It's not like it didn't happen before.' 'The PLO used to be a terror organization.' I respectfully suggest that Lapid read Article 33 of the PLO 1968 Charter and ask himself where and when the Palestinian National Council (PNC) voted to modify or annul one article of their Charter."

 "The Charter unequivocally states that the establishment of Israel is illegal and void and that they would use armed resistance until Palestine was liberated.  Charter Article 33 clearly states that no change in the Charter can occur unless 2/3 of the PNC members vote for a change."

 "I hereby offer Lapid $200,000 if he can come forward with a voted PNC resolution specifying the Articles of the Charter which have been changed or annulled pursuant to Arafat's January 1998 letter to President Clinton."

 Rather than see the question as mincing words, Langfan's letter spoke to the underlying environment of incitement to hatred that pervades Palestinian society:
"I also suggest that Lapid read a few days of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) and Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) documented translations of the Palestinian Authority (PA) controlled TV programs, newspapers, and PA leaders' utterances," he wrote.

 Langfan concluded: "The failure to change one word of the PLO Charter and the Fatah Constitution, the daily PA controlled media, the PA instituted second Intifada (after Oslo) which caused more Israeli civilian deaths than in any previous years, and many other facts too numerous to mention, rebut Lapid's statement that the PLO is no longer a terrorist organization."

 Langfan's son is Mark Langfan, the New York-based chairman of AFSI, Americans for a Safe Israel, and an independent policy analyst who focuses on cartography and the geography of the Middle East.

From Abbas's PA TV:
Islam-based hate speech on PA TV:Jews are "most evil among creations,""barbaric apes, wretched pigs" 
 Afsi's analysis:
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the United Nations today with the intention of exposing the many lies against Israel spoken by Mahmoud Abbas in his attack against the Jewish state at the United Nations last Friday. He described these lies, which don't deserve repeating, as the function of diseased minds whose hatred of Jews has no bounds. PM Netanyahu stressed that we are NOT occupiers in our own country, citing history, archaeology, and common sense as his source. He did not mention our biblical and legal entitlements. In our opinion, this was a serious omission. Recognizing that Israel's withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza created "threats from militant Islamists" , (he never mentioned the hardships endured by the Israelis evacuated from their homes and communities in Gush Katif/Gaza) , he insisted that "rock solid security arrangements" would be required for further "territorial compromises" that would be necessary for "peace."  

We understand that PM Netanyahu has to walk a fine line in the diplomatic world in order to present the case for Israel; however WE STRONGLY DISAGREE with his willingness to give away more Israeli land and we know, as does any realist, that there are NO SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS THAT COULD GUARANTEE SAFETY FOR ISRAELIS. If he had cited Israel's biblical entitlement to the land, that might have been the end of the lesson. If he used the Edmond Levy report to demonstrate Israel's legal entitlement to the land, that might have been a good post script to the lesson. But agreeing that "any peace requires territorial compromise" is a prescription for disaster for Israel. As we enter this new year of 5775 we pray that Israel's Prime Minister will remember the meaning of the "promised land" given to our ancestors, which centuries of dedicated Jews have sacrificed to ensure. We must continue in that tradition, treasuring the land and its protectors. 

Helen Freedman is Executive Director of AFSI.   
Mark Langfan,  proud son of William Langfan is the apple that doesn't fall far from the tree.  
Mark Langfan, AFSI's President and Chairman, once again hits the mark in his most recent op-ed in Arutz Sheva. He points out the outrageous flaws in the most recent Obama remarks on ISIS and Islam. See the link below:

Murder of Jewish Construction Worker by suspected Arab co-workers, Netanel Arami hy"d in Bat Yam. Protest Tuesday September 30, 7:30pm Police inaction. Police not investigating murder.

bs"d


Netanel Arami was a Jewish construction worker who was killed after the ropes holding his work station were cut by Arab co-workers. Netanel Arami, the father of 2 children is a resident of Bait Dagan in Israel. He fell to his death last week from a building site in what is suspected as an act of murder.
In an unprecedented move, police have placed a "gag-order" on the case. The family claims they are not investigating and in fact are interrogating the family! Reportedly when police arrived on the roof of the Petah Tikva building Arami was working on and fell from while rappelling, they found his ropes had been cut. Both the main ropes and the safety backup ropes. Police arrested no one, despite the obvious fact that no one else was up on the roof.

In response to police inaction, Chabad of Bait Dagan in conjunction with the Arami family and other groups and locals and friends outraged at the police inaction will be meeting at 7:30pm Tuesday evening at the Arami parents home for ashkava and a protest.

Pls forward to your Israeli friends. 
Tuesday 7:30pm Arami Family Home - 101 Yosef Tal Street Bat Yam

Jerusalem Councilman Arieh King spoke to Arutz Sheva. By 2030, Jerusalem will be an Arab capital.

bs"d

My question is how come the government of Israel is choosing to allow Arabs to build in Jerusalem legally and illegally, and not Jews?  Where is the pressure coming from? How is it that there is lack of Police Presence endangering the lives of Jewish Kids?

Is Saudi Money Behind the Met Opera's Anti-Semitic Pro-Terrorist Death of Klinghoffer Production?

June 15, 2014 by  20 Comments

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.


Saudi_Minister_of_Petroleum_and_Mineral_Resources_Ali_Al-Naimi

American oil companies used to sponsor a lot of cultural programming. As the Saudis nationalized and began to take control, that has shifted.

The Saudis are not big opera buffs, but their regime spreads anti-Semitism around the world. And the Metropolitan Opera's current decision to mount The Death of Klinghoffer, a widely denounced anti-Semitic modern opera in a season packed with productions that are rarely less than a century old, is a curious aberration.

The Metropolitan Opera's manager Peter Gelb is predicting bankruptcy in two years as the Met has blown through a fortune, for example spending $169,000 on a poppy field used as opera scenery.

The Met is incapable of budgeting and its needs money badly.

Saudi Petroleum International is a local arm of Saudi Aramco and a significant donor to the Metropolitan Opera. The Saudi Minister of Petroleum, Ibrahim Al-Naimi, has even been listed on occasion as a principal sponsor.

The Met has increasingly been making its money from digital broadcasts, rather than theater performances, making it more reliant on international audiences. Its "Live in HD" digital broadcasts go out to countries such as Lebanon, Morocco,  as well as to Dubai.

The HD business has become the Met's bread and butter and like a lot of the luxury trade, it's looking for a cut of the gushing wells of oil money from nouveau riche sheiks and princes.

Catering to their bigotry is not the classiest way to get it, but it certainly has a history of working.

The Metropolitan Opera's high-definition cinema broadcast series is about to make another foray into the Middle East…

An Egyptian-born businessman, Mahmoud M. Abdallah, who sits on the Met's board, helped broker the agreement with the National Cultural Center… The HD season begins on Oct. 9 with Wagner's "Rheingold," the first installment of the company's new "Ring" cycle.

Like most of the American entertainment and culture institutions, the Met is increasingly looking abroad. The Death of Klinghoffer may strike American audiences, not to mention the Klinghoffer family, as hateful and exploitative, but it's just adding more noise into the culture of anti-Semitism that has been so successfully cultivated in Europe and the Middle East.

The Metropolitan Opera is looking to profit from bigotry in the Middle East and Europe. It's not the first cultural organization to discover that anti-Semitism sells tickets.

Judea Pearl message to the Met. Learn from Danny Pearl's last Words "I Erred."

bs"d

Heart wrenching letter by the Mother of Daniel Pearl to Peter Gelb of the Met.  Read her letter in full. LInk below... 

Mr. Peter Gelb,  Let me repeat what I wrote to you on Thursday:

"May God give you the courage to admit that this was a hasty, shortsighted decision that can be reversed."

May Danny's last words strengthen your heart to say: "I erred." 

Thank you.

Judea Pearl 


.,...This opera is not about the mentality of deranged terrorists, but about the judgment of our arts directors. The New York Met has squandered humanity's greatest treasure — our moral compass, our sense of right and wrong, and, most sadly, our reverence for music as a noble expression of the human spirit.

Fwd: US Jewish Establishment's Deafening Silence: Ronn Torossian

bs"d

Dear Friends, Fellow lovers of Israel, \

 Below is an OP-Ed post  by Ronn Torossian in Israel National News (Arutz7).  Ronn is a PR person for the Klinghoffer Protest.

I agree with Ronn Torossian that there is deafening silence from US Jewish Establishment Organizations.....Let me add.  Where is the voice of mainstream religious organizations such as the  OU, YI, RCA, Agudath Yisroel of America, Chabad International etc.  

 Why haven't they spoken up for Judea and Samaria and G-d's Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and that a Palestinian State is in direct conflict?  

 Many of us activist involved in promoting this protest rally understand that  this is also about proclaiming our entitlement of Judea and Samaria and not just about protesting celebrating murderers of innocent people. 

 Please understand that these two points are closely interrelated where one feeds the other.  

 Our enemies grievances, that Jews are "Occupying their land" justifies and feeds their terror activity. 

 Please visit 
 Main Focus Klinghoffer Protest. Rabbi Friedman agrees!   http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/09/debate-main-focus-klinghoffer-protest.html

Our enemies pressures Israel in different directions in order to establish a Palestinian State...

Op-Ed: US Jewish Establishment's Deafening Silence

Are you going to be at the demonstration?


In helping to organize Monday's protest against the Metropolitan Opera's decision to air the "The Death of Klinghoffer"  at Lincoln Center, the fact that the mass of the major establishment organizations are nowhere to be found in speaking out about this issue is tremendously disheartening.
This is not a "right-wing" issue, or about Judea & Samaria – it is about celebrating the murderers of innocent people.
This play mocks a mockery of the killing of Leon Klinghoffer, a handicapped New YorkWorld War II veteran. While the show has widely been denounced as anti-Semitic and sympathetic to the hijackers, and was cancelled after 9/11, next week it will begin to be played in New York City.
While there will be many high-profile speakers at the protest outside from a multitude of backgrounds, including George Pataki, former governor of New York, Michael Mukasey, the former Attorney General of the United States, Dr. Bill Donahue, President, Catholic League, Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America, Rabbi Avi Weiss, criminal defense attorney Ben Brafman, Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, executivevice president of the New York Board of Rabbis, Actor Tony LoBianco and others, the fact remains that the mass of the major establishment organizations are nowhere to be found on this issue.
Good concerned American Jews, like Helen Friedman of AFSI, Jeff Wiesenfeld, Hillary Markowitz, terror survivor Sarri Singer of Strength to Strength, activists from ZOA and a handful of others have spent weeks organizing on this issue to make sure a voice of moral conscience will be heard.
While the establishment has been silent, even worse is the Anti-Defamation League which has publicly said they approved of the Metropolitan Opera's decision to feature this anti-Semitic opera.   The ADL proclaimed they were content with the show going on in New York – simply asinine proclamation for a play, which features a hijacker Molqi singing: "We are / soldiers fighting a war / We are not criminals / and we are not vandals / but men of ideals."On stage, hijacker Rambo says "Wherever poor men / are gathered they can / find Jews getting fat / You know how to cheat / the simple, exploit / the virgin, pollute / Where you have exploited / Defame those you cheated / and break your own law / with idolatry."  The ADL defends Anti-Semitism.
Meanwhile, the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) has spoken out forcefully against this travesty and is among the leadership of this event.  They truthfully must be in the conscience globally of people fighting terrorism and anti-Semitism.  They should be front and center as among the spokespersons for American Jewry.
How dare the ADL kosher a play which glorifies the murderers of a disabled New Yorker? The participation of the SWC, and their principled stance is important to note.
Organizations including the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Zionist Organization of America, AFSI, AMCHA, Catholic League, Christians' Israel Public Action Campaign (CIPAC), Congregation Ohab Zedek, Edmond J. Safra Synagogue, Lincoln Square Synagogue, RAJE, One Israel Fund, Stand With Us, Strength to Strength, Westchester High School, Rambam Mesivta High School, Shalhevet High School for Girls and others will gather Monday, September 22nd at 4:30 PM, across the street from the Lincoln Center Plaza at Broadway & 65th Street to protest. Monday evening is the first night of the gala opening of the Metropolitan opera season.
Ronn Torossian is an entrepreneur, author – and longtime resident of Lincoln Square.

Klinghoffer Protest - What should the focus Be?

BS"D
Let us use the stage and publicity of the Klinghoffer Protest to address the source of the conflict!  
IDENTIFYING THE SOURCE!  This is a Religious War. Please take note of THE UNDERLYING RELIGIOUS CONFLICT

The Torah Position - Believers of the Bible! Noahides, Jews and non Jews, acknowledge and proclaim there is a G-d in the world who is KING.   We are all descendants of Noah and are obligated to keep the 7 Noahide Laws. A basic belief of morality and ethics.  http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/466119/jewish/The-Seven-Noahide-Laws.htm  (Listen to Jewish audio 
BY NISSAN DOVID DUBOV Chabad of South London, UK)  and click on link to "Universal Morality Seven Noahide Laws". 
Here is a wonderful opportunity before Rosh Hashana on Monday night at the Klinghoffer Protest Rally, September 22, 2014, to proclaim the Kingship of G-d. (Someone in fact is bringing a Shofar! ) On Rosh Hashana we don't only pray for our own personal salvation or salvation of the Jewish people on judgement day but also for the salvation of the entire world.  
http://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/aid/419100/jewish/Instill-In-Us-All.htm And so... instill fear of You upon all that You have made, and dread of You upon all that You have created -- High Holiday Amidah. 
Let us differentiate between the credo of the Muslim Brotherhood representative of radical Islam and ISIS and the moral and ethical laws of  Noahides.   
Aleinu:  A prayer which proclaims the Kingship of G-d.  https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/aleinu.html.  
The prayer Aleinu ("It is our duty to praise") is the closing prayer of the morning, afternoon and evening service recited every single day 3x a day. On Rosh Hashana, in the Musaf service, the Baal Tefila, the one leading the prayers,  and the entire Congregation physically kneels on the floor by the recitation of the words Va'anachnu korim, u'mishtachavim, u'modim, lifnei melech, malchei ham'lachim, hakadosh baruch Hu. We Bow, We Prostrate, We Give Thanks before the King of All Kings, Blessed Be He. The Prayer Aleinu closes by invoking collective recognition of God, citing the verse "And the Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one Lord with one name" (Zechariah 14:9).   
Compare this lehavdil, by comparison, to the Islamic concept of Caliphate.   
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliphate A caliphate (in Arabic: خلافة‎ khilāfa, meaning "succession") is an Islamic state led by a supreme religious and political leader known as a caliph – i.e. "successor" – to Muhammad. The succession of Muslim empires that have existed in the Muslim world are usually described as "caliphates". Conceptually, a caliphate represents a sovereign state of the entire Muslim faithful, (the Ummah), ruled by a caliph under Islamic law (sharia).
There is no concept of successor expressed in the Aleinu!  Just G-d alone reigns over the entire world.  He is the Supreme Ruler over the Entire World! 
The first Rashi of the Torah in Breishit says: "What is the reason [the Torah] began with the Book of Genesis?  It began thus because it wished to convey the message of the verse 'the power of His acts he told to His people' in order to give them the estate of the Nations.  So that if the nations of the world will say to Israel you are "Occupiers" for you conquered the lands of the seven Nations who inhabited the land of Canaan, Israel will say to them, the whole world belongs to the Holy One, Blessed be He, He created and He gave it to the one found proper in His eyes." 
G-d created the world and gave the Land of Israel to the people of Israel, descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel (please note it is Jacob, not Yishamael both descendants of Abraham). When we fail to acknowledge the Covenant G-d made with  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob nor assert our rights to the Land of Israel, our G-d given gift, we create a void.   The Palestinians then fills this void with lies and untruths. It is therefore imperative for Israel and world Jewry to assert its rights to Judea and Samaria the exact territory designated as Palestinian State!  
Palestinians have no legitimate claim to our Land.  They know it.  They have no inclination to keep the commandments of Land,  Shemittah, Leket, Shikcha, Peah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe'ah
etc.

The Jewish people are not racists! Noahides have full civil rights to settle in Israel when they keep the Seven Noahide laws and recognize Israel's Sovereignty over it's borders (delineated in Parshat Masei).

The Muslims Position
The Muslim Brotherhood credo is "Allah is our God", the Prophet is our guide, The Quran is our constitution, Jihad is our way, and death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition."  (Chapter 13 Muslim Mafia The Muslim Brotherhood: Terrorists in Suits) 
Read about it in the book Muslim  Mafia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Mafia_(book). 
September 15, 2014 CAIR, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD and HAMAS http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/09/cair-muslim-brotherhood-and-hamas.html 

Since this book has written, Islam as a terror religion has increased at an alarming rate.  As murderous beheadings and the like increase, so in turn does the lust.. 
Why was the world destroyed in the time of Noah?  Because the World was filled of Hamas, violence.   The Sign of the rainbow with 7 colors is to ensure that G-d will not destroy the world as long as we keep the 7 Noahide laws.    (see audio http://www.chabad.org/multimedia/media_cdo/aid/466119/jewish/The-Seven-Noahide-Laws.htm )
Radical Islam, Palistinian dogma and Terrorism advocate the violation of the Seven Noahide laws.  Human Shields, beheadings, throwing Klinghoffer with his wheelchair into the ocean are clear violations of morality and the Seven Noahide laws.  Hamas, violence, brings destruction to the world as we learned from the time of Noah. It is our duty to expose and denounce any attempt to empower such evil as does the Opera "The Death of Klinghoffer". 
=======================================================
 This focus will address as well the following upcoming anti-Semitic Happenings!
  • This coming Tuesday, the day following the scheduled Klinghoffer protest,  in college campuses, there is a call by Hatem Bazian, the founder of anti-Semitic hate group Students for the Justice of Palestine (SJP) for an "International Day of Action".   You can imagine what such a "day of action" promotes....

These manifestations of anti-Semitism in Opera and on College Campus come from the same source.   
A new UN report calls for the Palestinian unity government to assume control of the Gaza Strip in the wake of the fighting in the coastal region over the summer.

"Reconstruction, recovery, governance and security in the Gaza Strip must take place in the context of the return of one legitimate Palestinian Authority to the Strip," reads the report from UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, the body coordinating development assistance to the Palestinians.

The AHLC (Ad Hoc Liason Committee)  will meet in New York on September 22 in a meeting hosted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

"The formation of the GNC [Government of National Consensus] under President Abbas and in accordance with the PLO principles was welcomed by the international community," says the report. "The UN has long underscored the need for progress towards Palestinian unity in line with existing resolutions, within the framework of the PLO commitments and the positions of the Quartet and the Arab Peace Initiative."

The report also urged Israel to allow the development of Area C, the part of the West Bank under full Israeli civil and security control.




ZOA Condemns "Students for Justice in Palestine" Call for Anti-Semitic "Day of Action on College Campuses" 


NEW YORK, September 2 -- The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has condemned a call by Hatem Bazian, the founder of the anti-Semitic hate group that calls itself "Students for Justice in Palestine" (SJP), for a disruptive and potentially unlawful, violent and dangerous "International Day of Action" on college campuses around the world. The SJP is a hate group that calls for Israel's destruction.

Posting his message on Facebook and elsewhere, Bazian has called for "activists and organizations on campuses across the world to organize massive protests on every college and university campus" on September 23, 2014. (Perhaps not coincidentally, this is the day before Jewish people around the world begin their celebration of the holy days of Rosh Hashanah.)
Bazian's purported goal is to "free Palestine and end the siege on Gaza" - a phrase that is itself a lie since the Palestinians govern themselves in Judea and Samaria through their own Parliament, school system, etc. and Hamas controls Gaza, from which it initiated a war against Israel, using civilians as human shields and schools and hospitals to launch missile attacks. This "Day of Action" has nothing to do with "Palestine" or Gaza. Instead, it is a campaign of harassment and intimidation on campuses worldwide, to interfere with the civil rights and freedoms of not only Jewish students but the entire university community.

Yasher Koach to Arutz7, Israel National News,  and AFSI for seeing the Klinghoffer protest as an opportunity to expose the Palestinians for who they are.  

  • September 18, 2014 Op-Ed: by Larry Domnitch My Fellow US Jews, We Are All Ambassador Tzvi Mazel http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/15671#.VBxAafldUWJ American Jews have a watershed chance to stand up against anti-Israel invective in which Palestinian terror is equated with the sufferings of its victims. The upcoming re-showing of the Opera 'The Death of Leon Klinghoffer' about a disabled American Jew, murdered and thrown off the S.S. Achille Lauro in 1986, by Palestinian terrorists, is an extreme example of such confused im-moral equivalence in which Israel bashing runs amok.
It is the narrative of Arab terrorists as victims rather than the reality of their being the violent aggressors who fight by any means against the existence of a Zionist state on any borders. (please read full article...)
  • September 19, 2014 Met Opera Sells Tickets with 'Murder a Jew' Coalition of 60 groups to mobilize in protest Monday against 'Klinghoffer' play,  by Gill Ronen  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/185304#.VBxCb_ldUWJ  The Metropolitan Opera has sunk to a new low in its glorification of the Palestinian terrorist murder of wheelchair-bound Leon Klinghoffer, on theAchille Lauro in 1995, say outraged Jewish groups. In its promotional materials, including a video on its official website, the Metropolitan Opera features a Palestinian terrorist pointing a gun at the back of a wheel-chair bound Klinghoffer, when he is about to murder him.
  • "The Met Opera is clearly trying to sell tickets off of an evil Palestinian terrorist who is in the process of murdering a crippled Jew in the back in cold-blood" said Mark Langfan, President of Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI). The group, headed by Langfan and Helen Freedman, is spearheading an unprecedented coalition of over 60 Jewish and non-Jewish organizations for the demonstration planned for this coming Monday, September 22, at 4:30 pm in front Metropolitan Opera at the Lincoln Center Plaza at Broadway and 65th Street.
  • History Behind the Hijacking of the Cruise Ship Achille Lauro from which Klinghoffer was murdered.
Article originally printed in the Washington Post entitled "Prosecute Abu Abbas" 
by Smadar Haran Kaiser. 

Smadar Haran Kaiser writes: Abu Abbas, the former head of a Palestinian terrorist group who was captured in Iraq on April 15, is infamous for masterminding the 1985 hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. But there are probably few who remember why Abbas's terrorists held the ship and its 400-plus passengers hostage for two days. It was to gain the release of a Lebanese terrorist named Samir Kuntar, who is locked up in an Israeli prison for life. Kuntar's name is all but unknown to the world. But I know it well. Because almost a quarter of a century ago, Kuntar murdered my family.  read more....

(btw this is a different Abbas than the Abbas of our time (Abu Abas died in 2004)  but I suspect that they have similar agenda's. Mahmoud Abas of today is no Tzadik either.  http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/07/03/abbas-and-israels-murdered-teens-no-remorse-in-sight/ )

Chaveirim, We can do much more than just get the Opera to close this performance.  We can expose the truth about a "legitimate Palestinian Authority on the Gaza Strip" and help change current events as it is happening in the UN! 

==================================================================================
On Sep 18, 2014, at 11:43 PM, Rabbi Zev Friedman <roshmesivta@rambam.org> wrote:
I don't think it is productive for us to engage in 'philosophical debates' or any issue which distracts us .  Our Main focus should be on influencing the  Met sponsors to insist that the opera be canceled(or risk losing their support if it is not).
As per earlier email I suggest that we take the high road.... and let the media know that our concerns are
1. Show is anti-semitic
2. The show glorifies terror
3. It is insensitive to the surviving members of the victims family... Who have expressed their desire that the show be canceled( see article in ny post)
4. It is offensive to many members of the Jewish community
5. Live feed was canceled because of the strong likelihood that it would fan the flames of anti semitism...thus it is inconsistent to allow it in NY
6. Insidious anti semitism is more dangerous that overt...dressing it up as art is disingenuous
7. Everyone would be outraged if there was an opera that was even perceived to be anti Black or anti Muslim
Bottom line let's keep the focus and galvanize  our energy for the purpose of getting the opera canceled

PS.  Rabbi Zev Friedman, Rosh Mesivta of Rambam agrees with the focus above as well!  Rabbi Friedman in an email wrote: 
It is obvious that the root cause of the issue is the distorted notions that there was a state called ‘Palestine’and that Israel is ‘occupying’their land.
My comments on keeping the focus (see 7 points above) -- was directed to ... (a different debate....)
Thanks
Shabbat Shalom Umevorach
