bs"d More on the Great Assembly at Marienbad 1937 from "When Silence Is a Sin"

Marienbad: Publicizing and implementing the Rabbinic Resolutions of Marienbad 1937.

 Apparently there was an issue regarding the WZC in 2020 and Rav Kanievsky paskened yes to vote and Rabbi Kamenetsky and Rabbi Brudny followed his Psak.

Interesting that the Rabbanim on this MGH Kol Korei didn't sign their names. Is Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky cognitively able to take a stand. What about Rav Brudny. Did they change their position from 2020? Who actually drafted the letter and who is willing to sign it?

Also, now the MGH are speaking out against voting in the WZO elections. 
Why have they been silent re: giving away parts of Eretz Yisroel, or about the Pikuach Nefesh and Sakanat Nefashot situation in Judea and Samaria and all of Israel with Hamas being empowered, and the Mitzvah to violate Shabbat when the enemy encroaches one's borders in Eretz Yisroel.

 

It would have been  amazing to hear a Kol Korei  from the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah against giving away parts of Eretz Yisrael when there was talk of a Palestinian State? Never too late!  Isn't this approach a more accurate, true and productive implementation of  the Marienbad  Resolution in 1937 where the majority  of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah voted for a Jewish State based on Torah and Mitzvoth?

The simple fact that this Kol Korei has not been signed is telling.

There probably are differences of opinion among the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah as was the case in Marienbad in 1937. Let's have an open debate  albeit heated, as is the Jewish Tradition of conflicting sides, a Machloket LeShem Shamayim, in our day, on this matter?

Here is a beautiful YouTube that shares the great love HaRav Kanievsky has for living in Eretz Yisroel.

Rav Chaim Kamenetsky's mind blowing views on Eretz Yisroel

Living in Eretz Yisroel is a Mitzvah D'Orayta whether one agrees with the policies of the government. At the very least, Halvai, those that are G-d fearing be outspoken and great activists to change the Israeli court system and the laws of the Land  in Eretz Yisroel so that they are consistent and reflect Torah values. 
Settler Youth who sacrifice everything for Eretz Yisroel,  have been blood libeled and are falsely accused, tortured, imprisoned, sitting in jail sometimes  for years on false charges and in the case of Amiram Ben Uliel  convicted of 3 life sentences, based on  forced self confession  after being tortured. Why have we not heard any outcry, a Kol Korei by the Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah on this when so many Mitzvoth D'Orayta have been violated on this ענוי הדין and עיוות הדין? 

Dovid HaMelech is constantly going to War, Milchemet Mitzvah both with internal and external enemies.

Isn't this war with Hamas an existential threat and clearly a Milchemet Mitzvah? Elef leMateh, Elef leMateh. 
Even when soldiers are assigned to pray and learn Torah aren't they in Tanach  an integral part of the army  and not exempt and in the sideline?

Throughout Tanach Am Yisroel is commanded to fight for Eretz Yisroel and to have soldiers and are counted according to the number of soldiers יוצאי צבא. 

The existing Israeli Judicial Court System has been anti Torah and corrupt  and finally, BeEzrat Hashem, changing.

 

However,  telling Jews not to vote in the WZO election is running away rather then addressing the problem.  The very purpose in voting is in order to  enact change within the government so that Eretz Yisroel has a government whose laws and ideology is consistent and reflects Torah. Withholding ones influence and vote,  serves to empower the inner enemy, the deep State within Israel, and the evil forces that are against Torah.


Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

Rabbi YY Jacobson וְאַתֶּ֥ם עֵדַ֛י נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֖ה וַֽאֲנִי־אֵֽל: Parshat Mishpatim. My comments

Bsd
אל המקום אשר...

Lichvod Rabbi Jacobson Shlita

I was very inspired by your video that was posted on one of my whatsapp chats  on Parshat Mishpatim and especially your point that Hashem needs us, Am Yisroel, to testify for Him.

Rabbi Jacobson: Parsha Mishpatim - Being a false witness is unique to any other sin, Part 2 of 3*

Isaiah 43:12

וְאַתֶּ֥ם עֵדַ֛י נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֖ה וַֽאֲנִי־אֵֽל:


My thoughts:

If the Nation of israel is required to be G-d's witness, it follows that its leaders and by extension, the Nation, needs to publicly testify that The Land of Israel belongs to G-d and that Hashem Alone, designates and has Chosen and entered into a Covenant with Israel exclusively.  Israel has the sole rights of ownership of the Land if israel and has been Chosen to be the  caretaker of the Land of Israel, keeping it's commandments, whose boundaries are delineated in the Torah. 

Who if not us must testify and bear witness that Har HaBayit, Judea and Samaria does not belong to the Government of the State of Israel, aka GOI, nor to PM Netanyahu nor Bennett nor to former President Trump and/or his Orthodox Jewish advisors. No one, can give away something they do not own. Any attempt to do so is null and void. A Palestinian State therefore is not on the negotiating table and can never be an option. This is consistent with the MGH Resolution at Marienbad in 1937.

Another example:

Amiram ben Uliel's forced confession for the Duma arson  is Halachically null and void since according to Halacha one can not testify against oneself and there was no other witness to implicate him. 

Will a fair trial and investigation of the entire Duma affair implicate higher up's who sanctioned torture to hilltop youth under the false premise that they are terrorist ticking time bombs?

A third example:

We need to insist that Ahuvia Sandek's murder be investigated. The Tik, the investigation, can not be closed unless the evidence and testimony, the full picture, of what really  happened that night, to a young Hilltop Youth allowed to bleed to death after a police chase comes to light.  

Will such an investigation implicate  higher up's as well? Why the cover up? How can  similar situations be prevented in the future? 

אל תעמד על דם רעיך

All three scenarios are really stemming from the same root mainly that the Land of Israel belongs to G-d. We testify this by keeping the Laws of Shemittah.  Our rights to the Land of Israel is dependent on the Nation of Israels willingness to be a Jewish State and observe Hashems commandments on the Land. 

It is very plausible that Duma arson and Ahuvia Sandak's  murder were politically motivated and a politically necessity by an evil regime.  

Hilltop youth need to be demonized and blood libeled and are simply pawns used by political forces to justify the position that Israel is simply a State for Jews no different than any State. If Jewish Terrorism exists, nurtured by the Settlement  movement then destroying Jewish Settlement is then justified and giving  away land in the heartland of Eretz Yisroel to non Jewish Authority for political payback  is therefore an option and permissable.  

The root of the matter is a refusal to acknowledge that Israel is a Jewish State bound by G-d's laws our H-ly Torah.  

Towards this end, the Hilltop Youth and all Torah observers and believers who stand for Jewish Sovereignty and Torah Sovereignty in Eretz Yisroel,  and those who proclaim Hashem as King, need to be discredited by anti G-d forces. That is the root of the matter at the Kotel as well.  The fringe Reform and Conservative Jewish movements are legitimized as authentic groups in spite of their rejection of thousands of years of determining Jewish law,  and specifically  in redefining  Who is a Jew thereby creating disunity and conflict.

It's a package deal. Hilltop Youth need us to testify on their behalf...on Hashem's behalf on the Settlers behalf and on the Torah's behalf .

Our Torah can not be mere lip service and nice Shiurim without Halacha leMaaseh. 

Up in Shamayim isn't one who could have testified and didn't Chayav bidei Shamayim?

 Grama? 

If Agudah can issue a petition and proclamation about the Kosel, surely they can also proclaim that any political agreement granting rights of Sovereignty for Palestinians is null and void.  The life sentences of Amiram ben Uliel and the recent decision to close the investigation against the police responsible for the murder of Ahuvia Sandek is a travesty of Justice.

The recent struggle to respect the status quo and keep the Kotel under the Jurisdiction of traditional religious authority  would then be hopefully resolved  because what is happening at the Kotel is a mere symptom of our collective failure to testify on G-ds behalf.

When we as a Nation are truthful Aidim for Hashem,  BEH the people will respect the rulings of the Rabbinic Leadership as being authentic and Emes. 

Not to speak is to speak.

Hashem is waiting and needs our testimony.

Bracha VeHatzlacha

Sounding The Alarm. Letter to Rabbonim and to Khal HaKadosh. A Cry for Action.

Bsd

 אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר

Updated June 20th, 2021

Bh it seems like Aliya is picking up. 


According to this article it seems like there was an almost 300% increase in applications to make Aliya from 2020 over 2019 and a 95% increase of people actually making Aliya in 2021. Beezrat Hashem may the actual numbers of those making Aliya reflect the increase in applications and may the Government of Israel and the Jewish Agency and Nefesh b'Nefesh do everything in their power to expedite the Aliya process and not in anyway make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Bs"d
 
Lichvod Rabbanim uKahal haKadosh
 
Please circulate!

In light of the very obvious deterioration of the moral fabric of our society today, we can no longer remain passive.

The situation is getting worse and will only continue in this trajectory unless we the Nation of Israel, the Light unto the Nations are proactive.

It is seeping into every fiber of society and no one is protected.

May Hashem give us the fortitude and courage to do what is right in Hashem's eyes and may our efforts be successful and received in the right spirit for the betterment of Am Yisroel,  society and mankind.

How can we as a Mamlechet Kohanim veGoy Kadosh bring G-dliness into today's world?
 
The immorality of our times is reminiscent of the generation of Noach and the lawlessness, of the society of Sodom and Gemorah.
 
Can we ignore it and hope that it will get better on its own with the hope we can insulate ourselves?
 
Shouldn't we be worried that G-dless values has seeped into our world and will seep into eveyone's  lives as it did then...

Here are some very current examples that are raising red flags.  How can we be in denial?
 
Our naive Yeshiva kids registered in Kingsborough Community College will soon be indoctrinated with classes on racial equity.

NY City, State and Federal Employees are forced to take mandated SLMS Gender Identity Training.

"Shemittah Rediscovered: Fyi Fwd: Fw: Implicit Bias Training - Encore Session. Adult Education for State Employees." https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2021/06/fyi-fwd-fw-implicit-bias-training.html?m=1

What books and programs for 2 year olds up are now being offered in the local public libraries?

What curriculum and textbooks will our Yeshivas be forced to teach?

A void of G-dliness is being filled with G-dlessness.
 
This reminds us that Galus is not our final destination...
 
Let's brainstorm. 
 
Here are some practical suggestions for your consideration.
 
Against immorality and lawlessness:

This is not the time to be humble. Jews must protest a G-dless society and lead and educate society towards a society of G-dliness. There is no sitting on the fence. If there is a void it will be filled either by us or them.

Shouldn't we protest a political party whose agenda is G-dless and lawless and rather than encourage our community to register for this G-dless party that protects criminals with its laws, and empower them with our spark of Kedusha, do the opposite?

Shouldn't we expose their agenda as G-dless? Shouldn't we refuse to partner and/or accept funding from their non Kosher sources of funding which easily blinds us?

As a Mamlechet Kohanim veGoy Kadoshan shouldn't we the Jewish People lead by increasing awareness and educate secular society  the importance of G-d's Eternal Laws of Universal Morality for humanity, the 7 Noahide Laws?

Laws for a civilized society are absolute and not subject to change to an alternative set of values. 

Surely this will help retard the indoctrination and brainwashing of alternative values that is replacing traditional values in society at large. We dare not afford to be humble and passive. 

...

Are we being too comfortable in Galus?
 
How do we Instill a yearning to live in Eretz HaKodesh for the Jewish people?

How do we influence Israeli politics in the Land of Israel to reflect true Torah values as was stated in the Moetzet Gedolei Resolution in Marienbad in 1937?

How can the Nation of Israel even suggest a willingness to divide Eretz Yisroel?

The entire land belongs to G-d and the Covenant G-d made with Avraham, Yitzchok, and Yaakov
and their seed, the Nation of Israel is everlasting and eternal!

Shoudn't we make it clear that Non-Jews can live in The Land of Israel provided that they observe the 7 Noahide Laws?

Is it happenstance that the Government of Israel is now literally holding back Jews from going on Aliya? (GOI)

It's scary but a recent blog post in  Times of Israel by Steve Rodan suggests that the USA is worried Jews making Aliya will take their money with them.

 Nefesh b'Nefesh has reported a tremendous increase in the number of applications for Aliya yet the actual number of those making Aliya from the USA has decreased!  What's going on?

From Blog of Steve Rodan

Israel's White Paper? US Jews find locked doors.
The Law of Return isn't working. American Jews aren't being allowed to move to Israel. What is going on?!
MAY 28, 2021

....

How can we increase our yearning for Moshiach and for the Beit Hamikdash?
 
It says: "Unishalma Parim Sefateinu ' (Hoshea 14:3) Let us compensate for the bulls with our lips. (Courtesy: Artscroll Translation)

Perhaps if we encourage ourselves to focus on the Korbonos portions of davening, to even memorize them, and to say it with more kavana, this will BEH make the Avoda closer to our hearts and we will see the Avoda as something that can actually become a reality and not a just a mere dream.

Haven't we had enough of human sacrifices, Kedoshim of Meron and Givat Zeev?

We have just now laid out serious concerns and suggestions. It is not our job to complete the work but neither are we exempt from it. Each and every Jew, each according to his or her standing can influence and make a difference. To not act is to act. Collectively surely Hashem will see our efforts and may we have much Siata Dishmaya!

May we be zocheh to Moshiach Tzidkeinu beRachamin and the
rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash  and the return of the Avoda, speedily very soon in our days!

Amein Ken Yehi Ratzon!

אל המקום אשר….


Hoshana Rabba 5781


Dear Patriots of Israel, 


"For you the world was created." 


"In a place where there is no man be a man."


We have an immediate crisis on our hands.


Netanyahu will formally present for ratification the Abraham Accords to his Cabinet on Monday, October 12th.


Following that, the treaty will be brought before the Knesset for vote.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/288667


The Cabinet will be under tremendous pressure to ratify this Abrahamic Accord. If they don't it will make Netanyahu and Trump look very bad. 


On the other hand Israel can't ratify this agreement so long as there is a mere suggestion of a two State Solution as it nullifies G-d's Covenant with our Forefathers and therefore  void in its conception. 


Both Trump and Netanyahu need G-d on their side. 


G-d is probably not happy with Netanyahu's willingness to share Israel's ancestral birthright with the Palestinians. Is it happenstance that Netanyahu couldn't put together a coalition and now has to share a unity government with Gantz?


Trump was doing amazing even with his impeachment hearings. His popularity just increased but then the Deal of the Century was announced Jan. 28, 2020. Is it happenstance that the WHO declared Covid a global emergency Jan 30, 2020 just 2 days later and the economy he brilliantly salvaged nearly collapsed over a short few week time period? 


President Trump is now facing a contested election. Will Trump have to share the Oval Office with the Democrats measure for measure? I don't think he'd like that one bit.


Not too late to save the day!


Introducing Operation Zocher HaBrit.


Between the time you get this email and the time Netanyahu's meeting with his cabinet on Monday we need to "mobilize our troops" and lobby the Cabinet Ministers to agree to sign the Abrahamic Accords only under the following conditions.


 

- Take out any clauses suggesting self determination of Arabs in the delineated boundaries of Eretz Yisroel.  Such a clause is  inconsistent with the Bible and the Mandate of Palestine which entrusted Britain to be the Trustee to reconstitute Palestine,  to the Jewish People. England with the signing of the White Paper betrayed this trust and closed the border to Jews and opened it to Arabs. 6 million Jews perished in the Holocaust as they had no place of refuge to flee.  

- Add a clause that the Jewish Settlers of Judea and Samaria and other communities will have permission to set up militias and have  the authority to defend themselves if they are attacked by hostile enemies. See clarification below if red warning lights just went on.*

- Add a clause that the textbooks and educational materials used in UNRWA schools and throughout Israel including Judea and Samaria, will be subject to review making sure all hate indoctrination against Israel and the Jewish people are removed. 


If the cabinet ratifies the Abrahamic Accords as presented to them without the proposed clauses that address Pikuach Nefesh, Operation Zocher HaBrit consisting of Jewish Patriots in Israel and the Diaspora will put out a PR campaign on behalf of the Jewish Citizens of Israel with the headlines "Taxation without Representation!" which puts the government of the State of Israel in a negative light.  We would rather not do that!


We want everyone to wake up!


No Justice No Peace!


How is it that citizens of Israel who pay their taxes and whose sons are the first to sign up for combat duty are treated as 2nd class citizens?


We have lots of documentation to support allegations against the government of the State of Israel on their failure to protect and defend their citizens! 


Documentation: Patriots of Israel - Taxation Without Representation

https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2020/09/documented-jews-living-in-judea-and.html?m=1


The bottom line is that the State of Israel is doing a very poor job in protecting its citizens, subject to constant stonings, molotov cocktails, rockets, knivings etc. The perpetrators if caught are released and there is no deterrence. 


This has to end!


In addition, what point is there in signing a peace treaty with the UAE, perpetuating the myth of self determination of Arabs in Israel's ancestral homeland? 


The mere suggestion is giving Arabs false hope of autonomy. Arabs live in very close proximity to Jews and to Israelis, and their school education indoctrinates Arab kids to hate Jews and Israel. This is a sure recipe for disaster. 


Who wants a neighbor that hates them?


We are deluding ourselves by calling it normalization.


May Hashem sweeten any evil decree and may all the curses turn into Blessings.


*Clarification:


We are suggesting that the Cabinet and Knesset authorize   the formation of militias to help protect Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and elsewhere, militias which specifically  represent their own communities and property,  militias coordinated with the IDF. 


We suggest that a clause of the above suggestion be included  in any signed agreement with the UAE.. 


We are one family. If the State of Israel ties the hand of the IDF and The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinator_of_Government_Activities_in_the_Territories,

basically turns a blind eye, then Judea and Samaria and all communities for that matter under attack should be given full authority, with the full coordination, support and consent  of the State of Israel, to defend themselves.


It's a novel approach but the State of Israel has gotten itself into a bind and can't seem to adequately defend Judea and Samaria and the Jews living in Judea and Samaria are not being allowed to defend themselves. And many communities outside of Judea and Samaria are experiencing similar threats and are under siege unprotected. The citizens of Sderot for example is a perfect example.


Again, the status quo is not sustainable!


We don't want a civil war Chas veSholom! 


However, all citizens coming from communities in Judea and Samaria and any part of Israel for that matter, including the Negev and the Galil as well, living on the Gaza border should and must be protected!   Especially in communities in Judea and Samaria, where the percentage of combat soldiers relative to other communities are very high, and have loyal Israeli patriots who pay their fair share in taxes, and are sitting on the front line, and live on the  high ground. 


That's the right of every citizen in any country..


This stipulation in turn protects the entire Israel, especially large population centers situated on  low ground like Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak and Ben Gurion.  


Compare the situation in Israel with what triggered the Revolutionary War in America. The Patriots created their own militias when they weren't treated fairly. And it wasn't even because the British were physically attacking them with stones and rockets. It was merely  "taxation without representation".  That was reason enough to fight for freedom!


Of course we don't want a civil war with Jew fighting fellow Jew. These militias are for the purpose of fighting hostile enemies. These enemies of Israel and the Jewish people are stoning innocent travellers on the roads, spreading arson on private property, stealing  livestock or cars, infiltrating communities and perpetrating terror attacks, cutting down or destroying  planted trees, breaking into homes and robbing the occupants,  common in communities near Arab villages, sending rockets and explosive balloons  and spreading fires close to Gaza etc...


Practically if communities  are surrounded by hostile Arabs and can't  defend themselves, and the IDF is not doing their job effectively and COGAT turns a blind eye and even worse, investigates and brings criminal charges against the victims for defending themselves,  then naturally there is no deterrence, and the communities are not safe.


Presenting a Revolutionary but Doable Solution!


Here is an opportunity to suggest that the Settlers in Judea and Samaria be given the opportunity to create a prototype Torah Autonomy.



Not a hostile autonomy to the State of Israel like the PA. The opposite! A sister Autonomy governed by laws that are consistent to Torah as per the Resolution of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah in Marienbad 1937.


...The text of the resolution of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah contains the statements:  "The foundation of the Jewish people's right to the Holy Land is based on the Torah and the prophets.... A Jewish State not based on the principles of Torah is a denial of Jewish origin, is opposed to the identity and to the true stature of our people, and undermines the basis of existence of our people...Any relinquishment of the Holy Land given to the Jewish people by G-d has no validity" (HaPardes, 11:6) See page 8

The thought of a Torah Autonomy is revolutionary.  


The current secular State of Israel is not prepared for such a radical change.


However, if a relatively small prototype Torah Autonomy is given a chance to govern according to Torah guidelines in Judea and Samaria where the population is open and would welcome the opportunity, then it might actually allow the world to see a Torah run government and judge for itself. 


It is our belief, hope and prayer that such an experiment will prove to be an eye opener and the world will say. Am Chacham veNavon , a smart and wise Nation ...


A government in Israel based on Torah is what we pray for daily.


Are our prayers relevant or mere lip service?

Marienbad: Publicizing and implementing the Rabbinic Resolutions of Marienbad 1937.

Bsd

Lichvod HaRabonim Shlita

It seems like the members of Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah have different opinions of whether or not the people should vote for the WZC election. While Rav Brudny, Rav Kamenetsky have given a Psak to vote based on the opinion of Rav Kanievsky, this Psak has not been publicized in a way to make a real difference. 

A letter written on the Rav's stationary and a short video and a directive, Kol Korei, to publicize in the media, schools and shuls is all that it takes to possibly add hundreds of thousands of religious voters to register and vote.That surely would make a huge difference!


The reason probably that this approach has not been taken  is that major advocacy in favor for voting in the WZC election would bring to light the divide among the Gedoilim regarding this matter. This in turn leads to Lashon Hara, controversy etc. This opinion however, is considered by those in favor of a campaign to vote, short sighted.

Being passive and not getting out the vote has a lasting nonacceptable alternative of empowering the Reform and Leftist anti Torah and anti-Zionists platform and agenda.

Of course the two approaches need to be weighed.

A divide of opinion regarding Zionism among  Gedolei Yisroel date back to 1937 to the MGH Conference in Marienbad.  The final Rabbinic Resolution of the majority of the Gedoilim at the time was that if a Jewish government was to be established it should be according to Torah..

While we must brace ourselves for a backlash in encouraging Jews to vote in the WZC, this hopefully will turn into BEH a Machlokes LeShem Shamayim.

Alternatively, not effectively addressing the empowerment of Secular "Zionists" and being passive has a long term backlash of a different sort  that affects the very fabric of Israel education and society.

Rabbi Abadie, leader of the Sephardic Slate has pointed out that the Sephardim don't take the word Zionism as a political statement defined by 1948 and the establishment of the State of Israel. Zionism, according to Sephardim, is a Biblical reference to ציון the yearning of Am Yisroel of thousands of years starting with Hashem's Promise,   the Covenant Hashem made with our Forefathers Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov to bequeath the Land to Israel as an Eternal Heritage. 

As Rabbi Abadie pointed out, when immigrants arrived to Eretz Yisroel, they literally kissed the ground.

This is the accurate definition of Zionism and there is a consensus among Torah scholars among Ashkenazim as well...So why not publicize?
