Fwd: Rav Ovadia Shlita Slams President Obama & Other World Leaders

bs"d

Hodu LaHashem Ki Tov Ki LeOlam Chasdo!

Can Agudath Yisroel of America, the Young Israel, the OU , Chabad International and the RCA and the thousands of Rabbanim and Congregations and hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of devoted Jews follow suit of Rabbi Amar and Rav Ovadia Yosef and do what we can to bring out the Torah message of our Biblical Heritage.

Most importantly we the G-d fearing and caring Jews, believers in our Torah   and loyal American citizens must be convinced ourselves that the Torah is everlasting and can not be annulled! 

Keeping the Torah in the sacred Land of Israel will benefit all of mankind and bring peace and prosperity to humanity and the world!

Rav Ovadia Shlita Slams President Obama & Other World Leaders

Maran Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita in his motzei shabbos drasha came out against US President Barak Hussein Obama and other world leaders who feel they can dictate policy in Eretz Yisrael.

The Rav stated "they tell us not to build here and not to build there....as if we are their slaves". The Rav concluded that Moshiach will come and they will all be gone.

Rav Ovadia added that in the place of the Beis HaMikdosh today there are Arabs and all these wicked people will be ousted when Moshiach arrives. He is waiting for us more than we await his arrival explained the Gadol HaDor. "Only learning Torah will expedite his arrival. Nothing else will help, not bagrut (matriculation) or safrut (literature)".

  National Jewish Leader Turns against Obama
By Leo Rennert

A huge crack has surfaced in Obama's Jewish base in the person of Alan Solow, one of the president's closest Chicago friends and long-time supporters.

Solow, who was named chairman of the Conference of President of Major Jewish Organizations last December, just released a highly critical statement on behalf of the 52-member group, in which he thoroughly disagrees with Obama's demand that Israel halt all construction of Jewish housing in East Jerusalem, including the Old City -- the holiest place in Judaism.

In a statement co-signed by Conference Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein, Solow took special aim at Obama's insistence that Israel not proceed with 20-apartment development on a Jewish-owned parcel in the eastern section of Israel's capital.

Solow said he found "disturbing the objections raised to the proposed construction of residential units on property that was legally purchased and approved by the appropriate authorities. The area in question houses major Israeli governmental agencies, including the national police headquarters. In addition to the Jewish housing, the project called for apartment units for Arabs as well."

Solow complained that, while the Obama administration wants to freeze legal Jewish housing in the eastern part of Jerusalem, it has been quick to "raise objections to the removal of illegal structures built by Arabs in eastern Jerusalem, even though they were built in violation of zoning and other requirements often on usurped land."

"Hundreds of Arab families have moved into Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem and the same right should be accorded to Jewish residents to live wherever they choose in Jerusalem. No government of Israel has or can pursue a discriminatory policy that would prevent the legitimate presence of Jews in any area of the capital," Solow added.

To appreciate the significance of Solow's fallout with Obama on Jerusalem, one needs to keep in mind their long-time close relationship in Chicago. Solow, who once lived in Obama's neighborhood, backed his political ascent going back to Obama's campaign for the Illinois Senate a dozen years ago.

One also needs to keep in mind that Solow was chosen to head the Conference of Presidents as a clear post-election signal that the American Jewish community, which voted for Obama by a lopsided 78 percent margin, wanted the new president to know that one of his closest friends and supporters would be speaking for U.S. Jewry as Obama prepared to take office.

For his part, Solow was clearly smitten with Obama and firmly believed that he could be counted on to nurture positive ties with Israel during his term in office. "I said with a smile that he will be the first Jewish president," Solow boasted after Obama won the Democratic nomination. "He has a deep understanding of issues that confront Israel and the Jewish community."

Solow had similar feelings and expectations for another one of his close Chicago acquaintances -- White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Speaking of Emanuel, Solow remarked last year that "his support of Israel fits with the president-elect's thinking."

Now, Solow's statement makes it clear that his rosy expectations of Obama and Emanuel as reliable friends of Israel have been dashed.

Furthermore to appreciate Solow's public disagreement with the president, it's significant that he issued his statement not as a private citizen, but on the letterhead of , the Conference of Presidents. The conference embraces 52 Jewish organizations spanning the gamut from Reform to Orthodox, from American for Peace Now to the Zionist Organization of America.

So this time, it's not only a few reliable Israel supporters like Morton Klein of ZOA or Conference Vice Chairman Hoenlein who have been voicing deep concerns about Obama's policies toward Israel. Now, it's long-time friend Solow, speaking for the entire Conference.

The same Solow, who also initiated Obama's recent White House meeting with a group of Jewish leaders.

For Solow to break so visibly with Obama belies assertions by far-left Jewish groups like J Street that their full confidence and support for Obama represent the consensus of views of American Jewry and that only a few Jews on the margins are being critical of the president.

Solow's statement has ushered in a new chapter in relations between this White House and the American Jewish community. This honeymoon could be over.

Re: Solidarity Mission to Judea-Samaria

Dear Organizers of This Mission, amv"sh

bs"d

I would love to go.  It's hard for me to get away.  I would like to offer some input.

Can you put Hebron first on the itinerary to gain chizuk (spiritual strength)?  I hope and pray that this mission will inspire Rabbi Lerner, Mort Klein, Dov Hikind and the other leaders in the Jewish Community to have the courage to say things that are not now politically correct and establish a new politically correct message.

 I would like Rabbi Lerner, Mort Klein, Dov Hikind etc.  to speak out for our entitlement of the Land of Israel based on our Biblical Heritage.  I would like them to validate the struggle of the hilltop youth. The press have them portrayed as being radical, extremists, violent, lawless, anti State, and on the fringe etc.rather than portraying them accurately as lovers of the Land of Israel who feel that Jews have the right to settle all parts of the Land and that these outposts are actually protecting the major population centers of Israel as we learned from lessons of the destruction of Gush Gatif.  Media vilification on the hilltop youth will be more difficult when mainstream Leaders validate their struggle.

Unfortunately the State by removing checkpoints, arresting settlers  w/o due process, and by not authorizing new kindergartens and housing in Judea and Samaria given the high birthrate, show that the State is being difficient in protecting and serving their loyal entitled constituents  who serve in the army (many in elite units),  are productive and tax paying citizens and happen to reside in Judea and Samaria.  

This tour is going to great places and meeting great people.  Let me suggest that Nadia Matar, Susie Dym, Israel Danziger and Arieh King be  included on the itinerary and this will give it a fuller picture.  Helen Freedman can help. 

Dov Hikind on the Dov Hikind Show emphasizes lack of reciprocity.  Up to this point Dov Hikind and Rabbi Lerner as political figures, have tried to be politically correct by not emphasizing the Biblical message.  This is not because they deny the Torah chas vechalila  but they like Netanyahu are relying on the fact that there will be no reciprocity and the Palestinians will never agree to a demilitarized State. (which Sovereign State has no army?).

However, the Arabs and our own Congressman have picked up on this and rightfully say that these Jews don't mean what they say.  These Jews really do not want a Palestinian State and the 2 State Solution. The Jews are deceiving us....

After all the Torah says.....

At this point we have no alternative but to admit our error in misleading the public and clarify the accurate Jewish response :    This is G-d's Land. This Land was Promised to us by G-d and Sovereignty is not to be shared, and with G-d's help only we can bring sanctity to the Holy Land by observing the Commandments..Jews must have full Sovereignty for the benefit of mankind, peace and blessings to the world and all those that accept Jewish Sovereignty are welcome to stay. Otherwise they should move or face the consequences.

Why should only the Arabs speak about Allah? Let's bring G-d on our side and make a Kiddush Hashem by showing Am Yisroel's yearning and desire to keep the Commandments in Sefer Devarim in Eretz Yisroel by living and settling the Land

.Let us not be deceptive and even suggest that under certain conditions one is willing to sell one's birthright (for a pot of lentils aka reciprocity). 

Thank you for listening.

Sincerely, Robin Ticker

Dear Esty, amv"sh

I don't think that my blog has much of a circulation.  Sometimes I think I'm the only one that's reading it and indeed one of my main objectives of the blog  is to keep track of what I am writing and use it as a useful tool .   I am posting  your letter for what it's worth. 

As you can see there is no real advertising.  However, I am flattered by the fact that you thought it did have a wide circulation that would bring in money for your organization.  However, let me suggest you contact www.yeshabulletin.org that has a great news website especially for YESHA and it's created by Rivka Ryback.  Perhaps the two of you can work out an arrangement.


In any event, if you can actually get individuals, Torah scholars davening on behalf of Yesha for 40 days and publicize it, it would show that this group really cares for their fellow Jew even if they are not in the nationalist camp,  Even if the Jews in Yesha and their supporters don't send large contributions to your group of Torah Scholars since the the Yesha community is not the wealthiest group when it comes to shekels and they themselves are living on faith and are doing tremendous chesed among themselves and helping their own group to survive, it will be comfort for them knowing that you share in their pain and hopefully also validate their struggle. They have the zechus of  actually living many Mitzvoth of the Torah dependant on  the Land and agriculture.  They have the wonderful opportunity to keep, do and observe these Mitzvoth in addition to learning and teaching.   I wouldn't be surprised if many themselves join the Kotel group to daven 40 days for this cause. Based on the fact that Yesha residents are facing expulsion, prayer is on their minds 24/7, 365 days a year..

FYI In Hebron  I know for a fact that a group of women say tehillim on a regular basis (once a week) with names of cholim, shidduchim etc at Maarat Hamachpela. I know because I myself participated in it and there were pages of names regularly updated for addons and deletions according to the type of request. I don't believe that they get paid for it and the locals in the community provide the names. Many of the names are submitted by  their relatives, friends or neighbors and friends of their relatives, friends and neighbors.

Personally I believe that Hashem is giving Am Yisroel this window of opportunity to see if we will care enough about 350,000 or so of our fellow Jew and do something about ir or will we merely disregard what happened to the 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif and act as if such a thing never happened and can't happen to 350,000 people.

The only way another expulsion can happen chas vechalila is when the media and the left succeed in demonizing the hilltop youth who they portray as radical extremist, haters of  the State, who put up illegal outposts with no respect for the law and who are a fringe group with violent tendencies that wish to kill and murder all Arabs.  They represent them with a vengeance and  moral equivalence with Fatah and Hamas which is equated with evil and suicide bombers.  The public reading this distortion then equates the hilltop ;youth and all that they believe in, and those that justify their struggle as an evil group "worthy of expulsion". This analysis was suggested by Dovid Wilder of the Hebron Community.

If however, mainstream Jewry and especially a righteous group of Jews that daven at the Kotel, validates their struggle in Judea and Samaria and agrees with  the statement that each and every Jew has the right to settle in every part in Eretz Yisroel, this breaks the negative villification of the settlers and makes it much harder psychologically to go ahead with another expulsion.

Thanks for listening and I would be happy to hear your response!  I didn't go on your website because my computer's filter has a bug in it and at the moment is not allowing me on to any sites.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon!  Kol Tuv, Robin

Hi Robin,

I came across your blog and really enjoyed reading what you share, and am inspired by your strong beliefs in Hashem's Mitzvos and spreading their truth.

I immediately thought that a partnership between both of us might be quite mutually beneficial since our audience seem to be very similar.

Please read about our organization at your leisure:  http://westernwallprayers.org/fortydays/whatwedo.html

In short, we are a fund raising project for families and Torah-learning in Jerusalem. In gratitude for a donation, we pray on a person's behalf for 40 days at the Western Wall.  Located in the heart of the Jewish quarter, Western Wall Prayers is run by a Yeshiva family who seeks to provide a source of income to the struggling Jerusalem Torah scholars and their families.   We have helped 100s of people looking for their Beshert, people going through health problems, legal matters, family issues, financial distress and many others.  I'm wondering if your members might too want a little help from above by the Kotel?

As a charity, we don't have a lot of money to spend on advertising as we're donating a large majority of it.  But perhaps we can form an affiliate relationship where you would get 10% commission on all the donation that come from your site.  Would you be willing to try this structure for a month to test the waters? None of the leg work is required on your part as we would provide the banner, the tracking code and an ability for you to track the campaign from our affiliate software.

I'm eagerly looking forward to your feedback and regardless, keep doing what you're doing. It's a great blog!

Fwd: Kiryas Joel Mayor Sticks His Nose Into Mideast Peace Effort. Are they the Authentic Jewish Voice?

bs"d

Will anyone that is a representative of authentic Orthodox Jewry step up to the plate to refute Mayor Wieder of Kiryas Yoel Satmer please????

I suppose it's easy enough to ignore all the miracles that happened in 1967 up to the present regarding the number of casualties in relation  to the number of Kassam rockets being sent our way.  It's easy to disregard Fatah and Hamas close affiliation with Nazi Germany.. 

If we go in happenstance with Hashem then Hashem chas vechalila will treat us the same way.

I would challenge Mayor Wieder to backup this statement 

"In fact, after the destruction of Israel in 69 CE, Jews were commanded to await divine redemption and prohibited from conquering the land."  Where in the Torah does it say this????

This statement is fallacious as well as his claim to being a Torah True Jew.  Everything Mayor Wieder says in this letter is against the Torah and an annulment of the Covenant between Hashem and the the children of Avrohom Yitchok and Yaakov who promises Eretz Yisroel as an EVERLASTING inheritance. Apparently Mayor Wieder doesn't pay much attention to these words in his davening.  He totally disregards Torah Shebichtav.  His words and intention are the opposite of truth and good.

Therefore, he is in good company with Obama who decided that the Land of Israel is for the seed of Abraham alone, based  apparently on the "truth".

The letter was written in reaction to the anti-Obama rhetoric of some religious pro-settler organizations, which have become increasingly vocal in recent weeks as the Obama administration continues to push the Israeli government to curb settlement growth in the West Bank as a prerequisite for a peace settlement. Wieder's letter reads in part, "Life is Judaism's most precious commodity; its preservation and the prevention of bloodshed are its more central tenet. When life is in jeopardy all commandments that guide Jewish life must be set aside in order to preserve human life. My heart therefore aches over the endless loss of innocent life just to hold on to lands inhabited by one's enemies. I therefore deeply respect and support you and pray that divine providence guides your every move. "Some Israeli politicians resist relinquishing any part of the holy land, claiming religious prohibitions. This is wholly fallacious! In fact, after the destruction of Israel in 69 CE, Jews were commanded to await divine redemption and prohibited from conquering the land. To this day Jews yearn and pray for the divinely inspired return to Jerusalem... The modern State of Israel stands in contravention of the Almighty's prohibition. Its effort to cloak itself in religion as a means of continuing the contravention of the Almighty is laughable if it weren't so sad." "This important letter comes at a time when many Jews in our community are upset over the militant Zionist groups who appear to be representing Orthodox Jews," said Rabbi Dovid Shlome Eckstein, a rabbi representing the organization True Torah Jews and a close associate of Mr. Wieder. "Our mayor is doing his job in expressing our sentiments, and we hope the President gets the message."
