Nadia Matar in Negohot: 

"We are very clearly defying the decrees of the freezing because nobody is allowed to freeze Jewish Life in the Land of Israel!

And we came here to say :

You tell us we can't build...We will build!

You tell us we can't plant...We will plant!

You tell us we can't walk somewhere...we will walk!

This is our Land and in the end we know we represent the majority of the Jewish people who love their homeland and who are going to stay here forever and ever in JUDEA, In SAMARIA, in the GOLAN in Jerusalem in ALL of the Land of Israel!".

It is my prayer that Nadia predicts a future that is indeed unbroken from this time onward . For this to happen, I find it necessary to mention what Geula Cohen, former MK,  relates as per what the Lubavitcher Rebbe told her years ago regarding Yerushalayim.

"..the Rebbe said that he is concerned that Yerushalayim will have to be occupied once again.

"In that same conversation, he said that this occupation will not hold out, and that the city will have to be fought for again.  ..
"When the Rebbe told me this, I [Geula Cohen] was extremely alarmed.  When the Rebbe noticed this, he tried to calm me, and said that certainly things may change, if the leadership changes their mode of thought.  But this is what the Rebbe felt and what he told me at that time.

Ladies, the time has come for the Nashim Tzidkaniyot to spring into action. 

Tonight, Tamar Adelstein did exactly that. The event was sponsored by Crown Ht's Women for the safety and integrity of Israel and the Shleimus Ha'aaretz talk show.   Under Tamar's  direction, she produced an evening of inspiration for women and girls on behalf of  Judea and Samaria.  The following was the program:

Act One:  This is an original play written by Tamar and produced by the Atara Arts Performing Center.  In this play the theme revolved about the agonizing choice a mother had to make regarding allowing her young teenage daughter to participate in protests against expulsions from settlements in Judea and Samaria, knowing the dire consequences of such participation by her daughter would most likely end up with a physical confrontation with security forces and jail.   As the mother agonizes over her decision, she reminds herself of how she was the one that  raised her daughter to have Mesirat Nefesh for the Land and she understood the burning desire of her daughter  to apply what   she had learned from her own upbringing. She finally does give permission to protest. However, all this does not seem to soften the pain of the unjust hardships her daughter would have to endure as a result of her unadulterated love of the Land for the Jewish people and her desire to hold onto the Land while helping to protect Jewish population centers in nearby communities..

 Unfortunately, this is a true to life dilemma for a mother of a teenager in Judea and Samaria raised as the salt of the earth.

 This was followed by  a 3 women choir of the Atara Arts Performing Center, group of extremely talented women musicians who entertained us  with  their musical gifts with expression of  their love of the Land with song. 

Act Two: This is  a documentary film called Yibaneh produced by Women in Green...  G-d fearing and  courageous men and women,  are the stars of this show.  Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover, the leaders of Women in Green are righteous women who with limited resources are mobilizing the nation to build and plant in the spirit of Yehoshua and Calev in Judea and Samaria and they call upon us to be their partners in this lifesaving endeaver.  Tamar Adelstein supplied us with background info, which made us appreciate the work of Women in Green that much more. 

Act Three: A fantastic performance by Chanale on the theme of Eretz Yisroel, reflecting our longing, our sacrifices and our love.

This evening  is just the beginning.  Perhaps it is us women that will take the message of the first Rashi in Breishit and bring it to the masses with home get togethers, medium sized gettogethers and large scale gettogethers.  Maybe, Beezrat Hashem, it is still not to late for us to change a very painful Gezeera (the evil decree) chas vesholom that Jerusalem will once again have to be fought for.

Fwd: : Israel's disproportional response

ISRAEL's  DISPROPORTIONAL RESPONSE

 

 Many countries and world leaders have accused Israel of responding disproportionately to aggression from Hizballah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

However, it is time that the world press and media speak of another disproportionate response from Israel.

 

The terrible disastrous earthquake in Haiti has generated responses from many nations. The US has sent supplies and personnel, Britain sent 64 firemen and 8 volunteers, France sent troops for Search and Rescue. Many large and wealthy nations of the world sent money. The Arab and Moslem world nothing.

 

Israel, a nation of 7.5 million people has sent a team of 220 people that include Medical personnel and will establish the largest field hospital in Haiti, treating up to 5000 people a day, an experienced Search and Rescue team and medical supplies. As in previous earthquake disasters, such as in Gujarat India in 2001 and in Turkey, in the bombings in Kenya, Israel has been one of the most generous givers of aid and assistance

 

Turkey seems to have forgotten this help as its extreme Moslem Government is cozying up to Iran.

 

Judge Goldstone, where are you now? Eating your heart out and hanging your head down in shame I hope.

 

The favorite occupation in the UN is Israel bashing. More resolutions have been passed condemning Israel than all the so called democratic nations such as Sudan, China, Russia and others for their crimes against their minorities.

I think it is time that the world should know about Israel's disproportionate response.

 

Please forward this to as many people as you can.

Please view this video from CNN. The reporter discovers, to her amazement, that Israel responded to the earthquake devastation in Haiti from "the other side of the world" with the most advanced field hospital installation possible. She marvels that the U.S., so much closer to Haiti, hasn't done the same. Viewing this video will make you very proud of Israel's accomplishments.

Jewish Legal Rights to Judea and Samaria in answer to Satmar Rebbe's points

cc:  Rabbi Moshe Dovid Niederman United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg  (I do not have his email but hopefully I hope he will read it)

bs"d

Dear Distinguished Rabbanim, and Distinguished Torah Print and Radio  Media Personnel, amv"sh

Torah Jews, Satmar Chasidim included,  know that Jewish rights to the entire Eretz Yisroel is based on the Torah and our Covenant  between Hashem and our Forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov and to their children and children's children,  the Nation of Israel.

This Covenant can never be revoked because Hashem keeps His promises. (Even if we are undeserving and thrown out of our Land due to our sins, the Torah promises that the Land will never forsake us.) (see note 1 below)

This is fundamental to Judaism and references to our Everlasting Covenant with Hashem regarding the Land of Israel are  repeated numerous times in Chumash, Meforshim,  Navi, Medrash, Shulchan Orach, everyday prayers in Pesukei D'zimra, Shemonah Esreh, Shabbos prayers, Yom Tov  prayers, Tehillim, Krias Shma, Mezuza, Tefillin, Selichot, Bentching etc..... 

The Mitzvah of defending our Land is relevant for TODAY for each and every Jew wherever we are, and for Gentiles as well!

Please Watch this timely and powerful video of the Lubavitch Rebbe;

 Torah's Mandate: Defend Yourselves

Numerous phone calls by Activists such as myself to Askanim,lay leaders,  Gedolei Yisroel in Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah, Agudath Yisroel of America and Lev L'Achim (advertised as the Movement of Gedolei Yisroel), leads me to believe that the majority of these Rabbanim and organizations have accepted the position of the  Satmar Rebbe as their explanation of why they have not taken an activist role regarding our rights to Judea and Samaria.

Why bring this up?  These Gedoilim are modest, but the reality is that Daas Torah of these Gedoilim have considerable influence over the majority of Torah Observers worldwide (numbering in the 6 digits). They have considerable influence over secular Jews as well as a result of very effective outreach organizations and professionals such as Aish Hatorah, Ohr Sameach, Shofar.net, Arachim, Kiruv, Chabad  etc.  The majority of Observant Jews, Rabbanim  and Yeshivot look to these Gedoilim for guidance.  Their organizations and political parties have significant influence in Capitol Hill, and the Knesset.  Their position of Daas Torah is reflected in  the media cc'd in this email be it newspapers, magazines and radio shows numbering in the 5,6 digits.  Let us therefore seriously address the points of the Satmar  Rebbe.

To MGH - Letter to Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah - by Yosef Rabin

Please read in entirety.  Here is a small portion:

"The question of our right to Eretz Yisrael in our times is based on two main points. The first point is a passage from Gemara Kesubot,111a, God made the Jews take two oaths and the world take one. To the Jews "Not to ascend to the Holy Land as a group using force, not to rebel against the governments of countries in which we live," and   "Not to push the end away with our sins ", see Rashi.  

For some this means that the State of Israel is a sin, we came back in force and rebelled against the nations.

 

This is easily answered; there was no rebellion against the nations. We were granted permission by Britain, League of Nations and the United Nations to recreate our homeland in the Land of Israel. Second the first two oaths might be contingent on the third, if the non-Jews treat us harshly, which they did, then we can rebel and go up to the land. Even if the oaths are not connected, we saw clear signs of redemption, which nullified the oaths themselves. This is similar to the Halacha where one swears not to enter his house. If the walls of his house collapse, he is freed from his oath and may step on the remains of the house. "

Therefore, in spite of the numerous daily reminders of our rights to our entire Land both in our liturgy and in Torah sources, we still seriously need to convince  Torah believers to be activists to defend our right to Judea and Samaria.

That is why the following post by Ted Belman based on work by Eli Hertz and others, is necessary to prove our legal entitlement according to International law.  It hopefully, Beezrat Hashem, will  help convince the majority of Observant Jews to unite and become activists and ultimately convince other Jews and the world at large of our Divine entitlement based on Torah and International law. This activism will be mezakeh the Rabim, make us worthy of keeping our Land.  (G-d forbid we should sell it for a pot of lentils (empty promises of peace)).

Please read Ted Belman's

Jewish Legal Rights to Judea and Samaria  (based on work done by Eli Hertz.)

http://noahdavidsimon.blogspot.com/2009/12/doc-talk-jewish-legal-rights-to-judea.html


My last point is as follows.  Why would Judaism place such an emphasis on Eretz Yisroel  in daily prayers and in the weekly Parsha, if it wasn't relevant to each and every generation  especially our own? 

Sometimes we are blinded to truth when our hearts are leading us astray. For example, intellectually we know cigarettes are dangerous to our health but we convince ourselves otherwise.....

Let me end with this prayer.

 May Hashem enlighten us in merit of our strong desire to keep the Mitzvoth in Eretz Yisroel thereby bringing forth the Kedusha, the Sanctity of the Land,  May we have the zechus, the merit of being a Mamlechet Kohanim Vegoy Kadosh, a Nation of Priests and a H-ly Nation, in order that the entire world be blessed with Peace and Prosperity. Amen Ken Yehi Ratzon (May it be His Will)

-----------------------------------------

(Note 1) Yosef Rabin writes in his Letter to Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2008/10/to-mgh-letter-to-moetzet-gedolei.html

"In Parshat Bichukoti, one of the many infamous curses is the one on the Land of Israel. " I will make the Land desolate, and the enemies who dwell within will be desolate. "(26:32)).

The Ramban explains this to be a blessing and promise for the Jewish People. That the Land will never grow for anyone but the Jewish People. Rabbenu Bachya also explains, BeReshit 17:8, " This is a great sign for the Jewish People, since they were exiled from their Land no nation was able to settle there. Rather it sits is desolation until its children return. " Also, may there be a thousand separations, the famous non-Jewish author, Mark Twain visited the Land of Israel in 1867. He wrote, " The hills are barren, they are dull of color, they are un-picturesque in shape. The valleys are unsightly desert fringed with feeble vegetation that has an expression about it of being sorrowful and despondent… The Land sits in sackcloth and ashes… This Land is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition-it is a dream-land. " (Innocent Abroad end of chapter 56)

 

It is clear that Hashem has kept his promise, up until the Jewish People decided to return to the Land of their forefather's, the Land did not grow. It is interesting that he wrote this in 1867, just a few short years before the Children of Israel although mainly secular returned. Even though they were secular, did not keep Shabbat or Kashrut, the Land accepted them and she grew accordingly. The Land allowed them to drain her swamps, grow her fields, raise cattle and build beautiful towns and cities. This was all barely 30 years after Twain visited. "
