Dear Askanim in America, amv"sh

Sometimes a temporary reprieve and relief  is far more dangerous than bearing and suffering the discomfort. Therefore, we need to examine the long term consequences of this relief. 

All the funding,  totaling hundreds of millions of dollars,  for much needed programs that pays for Yeshiva security, crossing guards, school buses, nurses, social services, employment etc. will eventually turn against us collectively.  

For now it has bought our silence and has successfully stopped any real opposition  by the religious Jewish community to fight 150 billion dollars sanction relief to a nuclear Iran, the greatest sponsor of terror, and has successfully robbed us of our willpower to confront evil. 

It is blood money that now empowers Hamas and Hizbollah.

Only evil can be born from the fruits of such efforts.

Trump's platform,the Republican platform, does not include the 2 State Solution and is therefore consistent with Torah.  

The Democratic Platform on the other hand, nullifies Torah and Hashem's Covenant with our forefathers and our people. 

Do not be deceived nor loyal to a "political party" which empowers those who call for Israels destruction, the destruction of America and the Judaeo Christian values upon which America was founded.

Please don't speak of Emunas Chachamim, Unity and Ahavas Yisroel as a rebuke to those who dare question the collective Silence of our leadership and our people.   

It does not apply when we are all facing an existential threat. 

Askanim:  This is a wake up call. Though it seems like we are fighting with you, putting you in a negative light, our intention is noble.  We only wish that you face the harsh reality and the danger of our times. 

We understand that you are lishma, doing your work for the benefit of  the Klal.  Jews are having a hard time financially. It is hard for them to pay for security guards and nurses and buses. People need to have jobs, keep their jobs or find jobs. This is your reality.  Economic relief that you have succeeded to obtain via funding from the Federal gov't as well as on a State or local level for our communities provide  big time economic relief at least short term.  

Yet we must not ignore the greater picture. The Iran Deal and the 2 State Solution are existential threats!  There is no explanation for Jewish leadership failure to mobilize Am Yisroel to protest beChol HaTokef other than to investigate the money trail which is tied to the Democratic Party. 

 In the Heavenly court we will have to confront our Creator and we will see the ripple effects of our actions and how being complicit to the growth of a nuclear Iran and Isis has devastating long term consequences.  ChasVeShalom. When we meet our Creator in a Heavenly court we want to honestly say we tried our best to stand strong for our Holy Covenant Hashem made with our forefathers and us. 

Even if it appears that we will be unsuccessful in defeating our enemies, we must try our hardest.  Rabbanim and Gedoilim need to be clear that the Republican Party's platform is consistent with Torah while the Democratic Platform and support of the Iran Deal and 2 State Solution are clearly in opposition with Torah.

We need to do this not because people will listen necessarily.  We need to do this to please the Almighty Hakadosh Baruch Hu.  After all we are heavily relying on the HKBH to fight our battles.  

Many of our people are learning full time and are recipients of Medicaid and gov't programs. In all likelihood people are afraid that electing Trump will end this entitlement.  

After all,why should a healthy young man who can earn a living receive Medicaid benefits?

It is a real concern. Something to be negotiated as per how to keep our Yeshivoth functioning.  How will our yungerman in Kollel with large Mishpachahs survive without the very much needed financial support they are receiving from all the gov't programs?

This clearly would change the entire dynamic of Yeshiva Institutions we know today. 

However, if this money has bought our failure to oppose and address evil that is no different than Nazi Germany, it is blood money and is poison to our Neshoma.  It weakens our Neshoma and all the spiritual benefit that comes from our learning actually is tainted and not Emes. Our Torah learning will disconnect us from Hashem.  We are wasting our time sitting and learning at the expense of our brothers and sisters now facing the existential threat of Hamas or Iran.  Surely it is coming to our doorsteps as well.

I am not saying that the government programs that help support our Torah Institutions should stop.  Probably it is a zechus for the United States that they are funding Torah.  However, they are also funding UNRWA and terrorist activity big time. 

All I am saying is that we can't let this money blind us.  If the government chooses to stop funding our Torah Institutions because we support the Republican platform that is proof that this money was really a form of  bribery, a way to support an idolotrous agenda that is very dangerous to Am Yisroel.

Shemittah is proof that we must have Emunah and rely on HaKadosh Baruch Hu for our Parnossa and protection.  Hashem is Almighty and surely sustains all creatures...

Not the security guards an evil Democratic gov't will pay for.  

Bi partisan support for Israel is meaningless when one of the parties is merely an impersonation of the Democratic Party of our parents' generation.  There is no Democratic Party today as we knew it. Just a party who is like the Big Bad Wolf dressed up like Grandma, which is now actively engaged in empowering both Iran and Isis. A "party" but only in name, controlled by a few and its evil sources of funding ,  whose modus operandi is Divide and Conquer and buying off special interest groups and using deceit as a legitimate tool to achieve its goals.

Through such leadership our enemies have been amazingly successful in neutralizing hundreds of thousands of caring Jews from fighting for Eretz Yisroel, and from fighting the evils of Radical Islamic terror. 

Unfortunately, by setting an example of passivity, the Jewish leadership has succeeded in convincing the majority of Jews that both candidates are terrible and it is better not to take sides and to stay out of the race....  and if we must engage,  to be ineffective as was the case with fighting the Iran Deal and if we must get involved, to channel all our collective energies to go nowhere of significance so as not to endanger the bipartisan support Israel has had over the years.

Passivity is not a neutral position at all. It neutralizes support of the opposition who wishes to protect Israel.  It serves to empower Israel's enemies and aids in Israel's destruction.  It will serve to keep the current Administration in control and her policies in tact.

Shluchim Convention Attendees Protest Israel's Giving Land and Lack of Military Initiative

The following statement was issued to the media at the 40th Annual National Conference of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's personal Emissaries in Israel:

Monday, August 29th, 2016 
by Yeshiva World News Staff

The following statement was issued to the media at the 40th Annual National Conference of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's personal Emissaries in Israel:

A Call to the Prime Minister and Government of Israel and to all our Jewish Brethren Around the World from the Israeli Emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

"We, the Israeli emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who were personally sent to the Land of Israel by the Rebbe forty years ago in order to "inspire and encourage Jews to fulfill the Torah and mitzvot, and to rebuild the land both physically and spiritually," include among us both municipal and community Rabbis, heads of yeshivot and kollels, and founders and administrators of educational and charitable institutions.

"We raise a heartfelt cry of painful and vociferous protest against the current situation in the Land of Israel, in which, for the last year, our enemies have unremittingly sought to harm our Jewish brethren – men, women and children – and during which time, the Israeli government has stood by meekly, refusing to respond with force and assertion; continued to freeze Jewish construction in Judah and Samaria, reiterated the possibility of negotiations, and repeatedly declared the necessity of creating "two countries for two nations" – may G-d save us from such plans!

"According to Jewish Law, the mere discussion of withdrawal from parts of the Land of Israel can create a situation of utmost peril to the inhabitants of the country – men, women and children. For the halacha (Jewish law) states (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 329) that even when our enemies attack us over insignificant spoils, "We charge out armed against them, even desecrating the Shabbat to do so."

Hundreds of leading Rabbis from across Israel have already signed a legal verdict stating that every withdrawal from parts of Israel creates a situation of mortal danger to myriad Jews throughout the country, G-d forbid.

"It is perfectly obvious, to all who perceive the situation clearly, that whenever the topics of concessions and withdrawal have been raised in the past, the result was always the same: an increase in murderous activities, attacks on Jewish settlements, and the spilling of innocent blood – may G-d save us!

"Thus, we unanimously support the activities of the Rabbis and Sages of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace – "Pikuach Nefesh," who, for over twenty-five years, have worked tirelessly against the concessionary policies of the State of Israel, particularly, through wide-spread campaigns to promote public awareness that this approach is forbidden according to Jewish Law, the ultimate goal of which is to maximize the safety and sanctity of Jewish life.

"Based upon the passionate cries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, in dozens of speeches, presented with deep concern for the welfare of our Jewish brethren in the Holy Land, we call upon the Prime Minister and the government of Israel, as well as all Jews in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora to wholeheartedly support the work of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace – "Pikuach Nefesh," with every means at their disposal — to help them in this important task of saving Jewish lives in the Holy Land, preventing further negotiations with our enemies over the question of Israel's borders, and firmly planting in our national awareness that the only path to true peace and security in the Holy Land lies in asserting our rights over the entirety of the Land of Israel. Only then, will we merit seeing the promise: "I will bring peace to the Land . . . and I will lead you upright (Lev 26)

With prayers and hope that the Holy One will put an end to our suffering, and that we may merit the true and complete redemption of our Righteous Moshiach immediately."

"The Legacy of Bill Clinton"

Prof. Paul Eidelberg
December 7, 1999 (updated)

Bill Clinton, the 42nd American President, served in office from 1993 to 2001. Prior to that, the Arkansas native and Democrat was governor of his home state.

Recall the December 19, 1998 impeachment of Mr. Clinton. It was initiated by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice. The charges stemmed
from his extramarital affair with former White House Intern Monica Lewinsky and his testimony about the affair during a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by Paula Jones. He was acquitted of these charges by the Senate on February 12,
1999. Two other impeachment articles – a second perjury charge and a charge of abuse of power failed in the House.

During his first term in office, President Clinton was quoted as saying "My policy is to have no policy" -- which may explain why this Democrat became a virtual Republican after the Republican Party gained control of both houses of Congress in the 1994 mid-term elections.  Of course, to have no policy is to have no firm political principles, no moral convictions, hence no rigorous sense of honor.  Does this characterize the Clinton legacy?

            Like other Presidents, Mr. Clinton can be accused of many
misdeeds.  Like President Jimmy Carter, he patronized the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), The PLO was renamed the Palestinian Authority (PA) after the signing of the Israel-PLO Agreement of September 1993. This agreement, underwritten by the United States, did not alter the fact that the PA is a consortium of terrorist organization whose Charter calls for Israel's annihilation. To this end, PA terrorists have murdered
or maimed more than 15,000 Jewish men, women, and children to date.

Nevertheless, the PA has received annual grants of hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States. This makes the U.S. a major patron of terrorism! The U.S. has thus earned the contempt it now has among other nations, whatever be their motives.  

That America is now afflicted by floods does not surprise this observer. Nor am I surprised that anti-Semitic Europe, another patron of Israel's enemies, is being overrun my Muslim migrants, rapists, and murderers.

Returning to Mr. Clinton, however, his cozying up with the PLO was indicative of a protracted decline of American honor and moral standards. To understand this decay, let us first examine why the U.S. refused to recognize the Soviet Union in 1917 and did not do so until 1933.  Here is how Robert Lansing, Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson, put it: "To recognize the Bolsheviks would give them an exalted idea of their own
power, make them more insolent and impossible, and win their contempt, not their friendship.... As to Lenin and Trotsky I am in doubt ... For national and personal honor, for truth and for the individual rights to life, liberty and property they seem to have no regard." 

            Mr. Lansing was succeeded by Secretary Bainbridge Colby, who in 1920 declared:  "The existing regime in Russia is based upon the negation of every principle of honor and good faith, and every usage and convention, underlying the whole structure of international law; the negation, in short, of every principle upon which it is possible to base harmonious and
trustful relations, whether of nations or of individuals."

            Mr. Colby was succeeded by Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes (who later became Chief Justice of the American Supreme Court). Mr. Hughes said in 1923: "The American government is not prepared to barter away its principles [by recognizing the Soviet Union]."  Five years laterSecretary of State Frank B. Kellogg avowed: "The experiences of various European
Governments, which have recognized and entered into relations with the Soviet regime, have demonstrated conclusively the wisdom of the [non-recognition] policy to which the Government of the United States has consistently adhered.  Recognition of the Soviet regime has not led [its leaders] to the acceptance by them of other fundamental obligations of international intercourse."

            Now ponder this remark of John Spargo, a leading figure of the Socialist Party in America, who in 1930 declared: "It is futile to argue the matter; recognition of Soviet Russia [which seeks our own subversion] would be shameful self-abasement."

            What would John Spargo say of a superpower like the U.S. appeasing a Lilliputian gang of murderers like the Palestinian Authority?  The PA is the Palestinian wing of America's mortal enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood. The PA is headed by a fading thug, Mahmoud Abbas, an occasional guest of the Obama White House, which also hosts the Muslim Brotherhood.  This confluence of terrorists in the capital of the United States makes one wonder what further natural disasters (God forbid) await America.

When we recall that President Bill Clinton consorted with the PLO, and when to this we add President Barack Obama's embracing the cause of that Muslim-led monstrosity, let us apply to these sinister acts the words of the prophet Hosea (8-7): "They that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind."

Hence, I believe that the natural disasters now afflicting the United States are providential and cannot be dissociated from the Clinton Legacy.◙
