Press Conference Against Releasing of Terrorist


List of endorsing and participating Rabbanim, organizations and individuals in formation.  If you would like to be listed please reply to this email with "Press Conference Endorser" in Subject Line! Please include your Name, Title and Name of organization if any.  Thank you!

bs"d

Dear Rabbanim and Fellow Activists, amv"sh

Our voices must be heard!  Let us know if you can make the Press Conference. Thanks   

(Even if you can not be present, tell a Rav and/or media person who can, and please circulate letters and emails that scream out in pain about the horrible situation as directed by the Rebbe (see a heart wrentching letter below by Renanah Gemeiner) to Religious and Spiritual Leaders, Media, Congressmen/women, Knesset Members, and anyone out there with a heart and soul and listening.  "Never again" should not be just a slogan. We need to collectively end the Silence and each small voice will turn into a chorus of voices and an orchestra singing "This Land is Mine, G-d gave this Land to me")

PRESS CONTACT:
Tamar Adelstein: 718-774-0914 / Cadelstein@aol.com  / Robin Ticker cell: 347-469-3060

Monday, December 30, 2013, 4:30pm, in downtown Brooklyn at the Office of Watermatic and Shapiro Tamir Law Group PLLC located in the National Grid building - 1 Metrotech Center 20th floor, Suite #2001.   (The entrance is directly across from 350 Jay
St)

CROWN HEIGHTS WOMEN FOR THE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF ISRAEL is organizing the event in response to the Israeli Government's decision to release a third round of Arab terrorists with the blood of Jewish children on their hands either tomorrow, December 30, 2013 or early Tuesday, New Year's Eve.  We will be joined by representatives from all of the other leading Jewish activist groups standing up for the right of Jews to live securely in The Land of Israel.
 
To date, Israel's so-called goodwill gesture aimed at keeping the Arabs engaged in "peace" talks has translated into these remorseless killers receiving a hero's welcome home, an award of $50,000 and a coveted spot in "peace partner" Mahmoud Abbas's government.

Moreover, a December 20, 2013 article in the Israeli daily, Haaretz, revealed that many of these convicted murderers are now running terror cells in Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank") as well as in Gaza.

This along with the circulation of frightening details about the proposed concessions Israel is considering has spurred protests not only from victims' families, communities throughout the "West Bank" but has also raised fears from the Jordanian Government which opposes any settlement of "Palestinians" along its border in the Jordan Valley. 

How much more crazy can it get?

Every gesture for peace the State of Israel signs onto endangers the lives of every Jewish citizen who lives in Israel. Every land for peace deal that Israeli and Jewish leaders have agreed to has brought war, terrorism, devastating property damage and loss, and has left traumatized vast numbers of the Jewish People's most precious commodity:  our Jewish children.
 
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, the foremost defender of the Jewish People and their right to settle and live securely in the Land of Israel had this to say about the Israeli Government's concessions and endless caving in to terrorism and World anti-Semitism:

One must scream about the horrible situation - without embarrassment and not from behind a curtain. One should bang his fists on the table if necessary because this issue affects the very lives of millions of Jews!

We insist that the Israeli Government immediately withdraw from the peace talks and place a permanent stop gap on the release of these and any other Arab terrorists. 

We also call on all Knesset Members with a Jewish conscience to vote "no-confidence" and bring the Israeli Government down to a grinding halt until these injustices are prevented. 

We urge Israeli politicians to heed the cry of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and cease from further engaging in negotiations and reverse all past agreements so that once again Jews may dwell securely in their homeland. 

"and even a vocal minority benefits the entire generation"

-----------------------------------------
To my fellow Jews:
 
I fear that a nation which frees the murderers  of each other, might not be able to survive.  I am sick to death about what you are doing.  We have never sunk to this low.
I am someone who loves Israel.  I have worked for the captive Israeli soldiers.  I have studied and spoken about the Holocaust.  I work on various projects.  I come to Israel every two months and hope to live there.
 
 My heart is shattered and weeping along with  the families who have lost their loved ones.  Can you really believe that this will lead to peace?  I believe you are in denial.  What you are doing is nothing other than appeasement and is so low - it is the selling off of one's brethren in order to buy perceived safety for oneself.  Only in this case, the victims who we are sacrificing are the murdered ones and their despairing families. They cannot lift up their voices and scream louder than you who drag them  once again into  oblivion.
 
I believe that we are loosing young Jews because we show them a lack of courage  and love for Judaism.  They see our  internal poverty which enables us to walk down this  path to slaughter.
 
The Nazis said to Hungarian Jewish leaders on the day after they entered Hungary:  If you cooperate, no harm will come to you. 
 
Tell me what is different now, either with the world leaders who dangle security promises OR WITH OUR JEWISH LEADERSHIP WHO TELL US TO GO ALONG WITH THEM!

  Please note:
   
The Dec.20 Haaretz investigative piece reveals that those who now running terror cells in Judea, Samaria and Gaza stem from recent releases of convicts.

 Abbas offers $50,000 to every convicted murderer and a position in his government.
 
Renanah Gemeiner

On Snowstorm, Kerry, Watch "Rav Richter Shiur Tapuach Hilltop Yeshiva 8 Tevet 5774" on YouTube, AFSI and Caroline Glick on Kerry, Appeal for Itamar and Women in Green

bs"d


Rabbanim, Knesset, Media, Friends and Activist List, amv"sh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNEdvyqoE34&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Absolutely amazing lecture.  It's an hour.  It's worth listening to the entire youtube but if you have just a few minutes tune in at 20:00 when Rabbi Richter connected the snowstorm which brought Jerusalem and many parts of the country under siege, one week ago today, on the 10th day of Tevet, with the arrival of Kerry.  Trust me you will find the time to listen to the rest.  

 The Hebrew word Kar, found in Kerry, in Hebrew, means cold, Kerry also means happenstance. The Selichot said on that day on Asara B'Tevet  references the Hebrew word Kerry in a refrain said around 20x, is clearly no coincidence.  Neither is the Haftorah from Isaiah that was read which mentions snow and the Dav Yomi Yoma 35 read the same day of the snowstorm  which talks about Hillel buried under snow in the month of Tevet thousands of years ago.  Rabbi Richter points out that they were studying till 5am in the morning on a Friday night.  He asks, "Why were they up all night when Shabbat began early like 4pm?  He concludes that obviously they were snowed in just like we were, thousands of years ago. "  Rabbi Richter relates snow to Amalek to forgetting. Amalek causes us to forget Hashem and to cool our passion for Hashem and for His commandments.  
At the end of Parshas Ki Teitzei, the Torah(Devarim 25:17-19) states "zachor es asher asah lecha amalek… asher karcha (who cooled you off) baderech.  Notice the word Karcha from Kar. 

Rabbi Richter points out that Asara BeTevet is the only fast, which if it would fall on Shabbat, we would be required to fast.  No so on Tisha Baav or any other fast.  The reason being that this was the beginning of a 3 year siege.  If one nips it in the bud and is able to catch someone before the actually fall, one can prevent the destruction fro happening.  Once the destruction already happened, there is not much one can do.  That is why one desecrates the Shabbat for Asara BeTevet because there is still the opportunity to make a difference to prevent a holocaust Chas vechalila.  A wakeup call from Hashem!


Rabbi Richter mentions Rabbi Yaakov Addas, a Kabbalist who was asked how come G-d brought the snowstorm.  Rabbi Addas replied that the  "snow siege" of Jerusalem is God's direct response to the recent jailing of yeshiva students who refused to accept draft orders to report for duty in the IDF.  

While I had read about this statement by the Kabbalist, and perhaps was not surprised that there were Chareidi Rabbanim who clearly felt this way, I was surprised to hear this from Rabbi Yehuda Richter from Kfar Tapuach who clearly seems to come from the Nationalist Camp.  Apparently Rabbi Richter seems to agree that unfortunately the motive of the government to draft these Chareidi soldiers is not in order to protect the country but rather to lower the high moral and religious standard that they have. 


It seems to me that the Chareidim should not be exempt from serving in the Israeli army because one is required to go to War to fight non-Jews in order to protect the Land even on Shabbat.  It seems very clear to me that Torah Scholars whose training is in "Vehaya Machanecha Kadosh", and your camp shall be H-ly, whose source is Devarim 23:14-15, will surely  be the very best soldiers Israel has to offer.  Of course, the religious needs of the Israeli soldiers must not be compromised because of the Mitzvah "Vehaya Machanecha Kadosh" which is referring to a military camp. The only thing stopping more Chareidim from joining the Israeli army is the Army's dogmatic refusal to accommodate the Chareidim's religious needs. Why for example do they insist that they attend army events with female vocalists? 

If the Torah did not want Jewish men to fight than why do we have Mitzvoth related to the Jewish Soldier?  Why are the men counted according to the ones who go into the army if going into the army was forbidden from the Torah? Why did Moshe Rabbeinu rebuke Shevet Gad and and half of Shevet Menasheh saying "Will you stay here and your brothers go to fight?" And why in Shirat Devorah, did the prophetess rebuke those Tribes who did not do their share in fighting?

Please read AFSI's post AFSI; Kick Kerry Out of the Country Along with Caroline Glick's powerful analysis of Kerry visiting during Israel's brutal snowstorm true to form speaking the honest truth published in the Jerusalem Post.   http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2013/12/fwd-afsi-kick-kerry-out-of-country.html. 

As it says in the Selichot of Asara BeTevet, either we choose to go with Hashem our Rock, or we go with Kerry, Heaven forbid!

Time to give Kerry the Cold Shoulder and recognize Hashem's wakeup call to speak out and support Judea and Samaria.

This brings me to 2 very simple ways to do this in America!  In Israel people accomplish this with their heart and soul and very beings. In Diaspora we can  do this with our pocketbooks and with forwarding these kind of emails to raise awareness and funds.

It is now the end of December and we are all looking for charities before the end of the American fiscal year. Allow me to make some excellent suggestions. I specifically chose these 2  because it is the best response to Kerry's initiatives.

Appeal for Nashim BaYarok, Support Women in Green!

December 2013

 

 Size_550x415_wig%20logo

 

Dear Friends , 

It is winter, but spring is not far off.  We stand between Chanukah and Tu b'Shvat.  Chanukah marks the miracle of the Maccabee's military victory over the much stronger Greek-Syrian army resulting in Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel.  Tu b'Shvat represents the miracle of the annual rebirth of nature and the day on which we Jews mark our connection to Eretz Yisrael by planting trees. 

Inspired by the spirit of the Maccabees, Women in Green, through both faith and action, defend and safeguard the Land of Israel.  And as on Tu b'Shvat Women in Green plant trees and vines…in Netzer, Shdema, Eitam and elsewhere to redeem and safeguard public lands in Judea.  Together these two days on the Hebrew calendar symbolize the essence of Women in Green… dedication to our G-d-given Biblical homeland, Eretz Yisrael, and the Jewish People.

Women in Green's activities, reflecting the values of our founders Ruth and Michael Matar, are far too numerous to mention in a brief email letter.  Here are but some highlights of the ongoing work and accomplishments of our members, men, women and youth:

·       Sovereignty Campaign - To date Women in Green has produced three successful national conferences and has begun to publish Sovereignty, a new political journal in Hebrew and English with distribution to tens of thousands in Israel and abroad. This campaign is already having a positive influence upon the general public.  As a result of Women in Green's efforts more and more people are learning that there is an alternative to the dangerous "two-state solution." Issue 1 of Sovereignty is available online on our website. Issue 2 will be published, please G-d, in the coming days.

·       Shdema - is the return of a Jewish presence to a former Israel army base, between Jerusalem and eastern Gush Etzion, including the partial refurbishment of a cultural center that has become the site for popular weekly lectures on Eretz Yisrael and other programs.

·       Netzer - is the site of many hundreds of olive trees and grape vines planted by Women in Green on public Jewish land in Judea in order to avert Arab agricultural squatting.

·       Eitam - Years of constant activity by Women in Green and the Committee for the Development of Eitam on Efrat's largest and northernmost hill has guaranteed that Eitam has remained in Jewish hands and, G-d willing, is now being developed.

·       Amos Junction (formerly T-Junction) - A daily vigil by Women in Green together with the residents of eastern Gush Etzion following a recent Arab terrorist attack,  resulted in increased security  at the junction.

·       Tisha b'Av March - around the Old City of Jerusalem's walls in which many thousands  participate every year over the past two decades.

·       Agricultural Camps for Youth - during the summer and over school breaks, including on-site cultivation and irrigation work, tree planting and educational lectures helps connect Israeli youth to their land and their heritage.

·       Website - brings uplifting and relevant news, photos and video clips about work being carried out by Women and Green on behalf of the Land of Israel.   Plans are in the works for a separate website to accompany the Sovereignty journal and campaign

 Naturally, all of these activities cost money , even though we are blessed with highly dedicated volunteers whose activity helps defray expenses.

Women in Green is mindful and appreciative of your past support and asks that you continue by making a monetary gift now and benefiting from an end-of-the- yearFederal tax deduction.  Your gift, which  will help support the many educational and cultural programs above, makes you a true partner in everything we do. 

We remind you that Women in Green is supported solely by private contributions.
