Standing Up For G-d's Truth, Standing up for Justice and Righteousness with Faith, Kindness And Mercy is the Teshuva, Key to Repentance to bring Moshiach and the Redemption

Bsd

אל המקום אשר...

I've been noticing a recurring theme, recurring words, appearing repeatedly especially in the Three week time period, the time of mourning. ( examples cited below).

This must hold the key to Teshuva for sins in the past. 

 What Am I referring to?

Mishpat, Tzedaka, Chesed, Emes and Rachamim. These are Hashem's Attributes and our job is to emulate Hashem. 

These attributes lead to Daas Hashem, knowledge of Hashem, and to peace and prosperity in Messianic Times. 

The Pesukim and prophesy express the urgency and imperative of the people to speak out, not to be passive, to protest and address perversion of justice,  perversion of righteousness and perversion of G-dliness happening on our watch. Noone is immune since the evil has infiltrated at the highest levels.

 Perhaps we begin by raising awareness of this recurring theme and the importance of striving to emulate an Almighty G-d who is the epitome of  such attributes.

Specific citations:

Dinim, righteous courts is the first of the 7 Noahide laws mentioned in the Gemara. Tractate Sanhedrin 56a. 

In Devarim, the Parsha we read before Tisha B'Av Moshe Rabbeinu speaks about setting up Shoftim and Shotrim and the qualities one needs to be a judge in order to be a righteous judge. Moshe Rabbeinu, the ultimate in leadership says its too hard a burden to carry on his own. 

Devarim 1:12-18
https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/9965/jewish/Chapter-1.htm

12 How can I bear your trouble, your burden, and your strife all by myself? יב אֵיכָ֥ה אֶשָּׂ֖א לְבַדִּ֑י טָרְחֲכֶ֥ם וּמַשַּֽׂאֲכֶ֖ם וְרִֽיבְכֶֽם:
13Prepare for yourselves wise and understanding men, known among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you. יג הָב֣וּ לָ֠כֶ֠ם אֲנָשִׁ֨ים חֲכָמִ֧ים וּנְבֹנִ֛ים וִֽידֻעִ֖ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֑ם וַֽאֲשִׂימֵ֖ם בְּרָֽאשֵׁיכֶֽם:
14 And you answered me and said, 'The thing you have spoken is good for us to do.' יד וַתַּֽעֲנ֖וּ אֹתִ֑י וַתֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ טוֹב־הַדָּבָ֥ר אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת:
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, men wise and well known, and I made them heads over you, leaders over thousands, leaders over hundreds, leaders over fifties, and leaders over tens, and officers, over your tribes. טו וָֽאֶקַּ֞ח אֶת־רָאשֵׁ֣י שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם אֲנָשִׁ֤ים חֲכָמִים֙ וִֽידֻעִ֔ים וָֽאֶתֵּ֥ן אוֹתָ֛ם רָאשִׁ֖ים עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם שָׂרֵ֨י אֲלָפִ֜ים וְשָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֗וֹת וְשָׂרֵ֤י חֲמִשִּׁים֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י עֲשָׂרֹ֔ת וְשֹֽׁטְרִ֖ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶֽם:

16And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear [disputes] between your brothers and judge justly between a man and his brother, and between his litigant. טז וָֽאֲצַוֶּה֙ אֶת־שֹׁ֣פְטֵיכֶ֔ם בָּעֵ֥ת הַהִ֖וא לֵאמֹ֑ר שָׁמֹ֤עַ בֵּֽין־אֲחֵיכֶם֙ וּשְׁפַטְתֶּ֣ם צֶ֔דֶק בֵּֽין־אִ֥ישׁ וּבֵֽין־אָחִ֖יו וּבֵ֥ין גֵּרֽוֹ:
17 You shall not favor persons in judgment; [rather] you shall hear the small just as the great; you shall not fear any man, for the judgment is upon the Lord, and the case that is too difficult for you, bring to me, and I will hear it." יז לֹֽא־תַכִּ֨ירוּ פָנִ֜ים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֗ט כַּקָּטֹ֤ן כַּגָּדֹל֙ תִּשְׁמָע֔וּן לֹ֤א תָג֨וּרוּ֙ מִפְּנֵי־אִ֔ישׁ כִּ֥י הַמִּשְׁפָּ֖ט לֵֽאלֹהִ֣ים ה֑וּא וְהַדָּבָר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְשֶׁ֣ה מִכֶּ֔ם תַּקְרִב֥וּן אֵלַ֖י וּשְׁמַעְתִּֽיו:
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things you should do. יח וָֽאֲצַוֶּ֥ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑וא אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּֽעֲשֽׂוּן:

The Haftorah of the 2nd Shabbat of the 3 weeks, bein Hametzarim ends with

ירמיהו, 4:1 https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16001/jewish/Chapter-4.htm
1 If you return, O Israel, says the Lord, to Me, you shall return, and if you remove your detestable things from My Presence, you shall not wander. א אִם־תָּשׁ֨וּב יִשְׂרָאֵ֧ל | נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֛ה אֵלַ֖י תָּשׁ֑וּב וְאִם־תָּסִ֧יר שִׁקּוּצֶ֛יךָ מִפָּנַ֖י וְלֹ֥א תָנֽוּד:
2 And you will swear, "As the Lord lives," in truth and in justice and in righteousness, nations will bless themselves with him and boast about him. ב וְנִשְׁבַּ֙עְתָּ֙ חַי־יְהֹוָ֔ה בֶּאֱמֶ֖ת בְּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט וּבִצְדָקָ֑ה וְהִתְבָּ֥רְכוּ ב֛וֹ

The entire Haftora of Sefer Devarim, Isaiah Chapter 1, Shabbath Chazon, read before Tisha B'Av focuses on that theme. The Haftorah ends:

https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15932/jewish/Chapter-1.htm
26 And I will restore your judges as at first and your counsellors as in the beginning; afterwards you shall be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City. כו וְאָשִׁ֚יבָה שֹֽׁפְטַ֙יִךְ֙ כְּבָרִ֣אשֹׁנָ֔ה וְיֹֽעֲצַ֖יִךְ כְּבַתְּחִלָּ֑ה אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן יִקָּ֚רֵא לָךְ֙ עִ֣יר הַצֶּ֔דֶק קִרְיָ֖ה נֶֽאֱמָּנָֽה:
27 Zion shall be redeemed through justice and her penitent through righteousness. כז צִיּ֖וֹן בְּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט תִּפָּדֶ֑ה וְשָׁבֶ֖יהָ בִּצְדָקָֽה

The Torah reading on Tisha b'Av itself ends with a focus on Mitzvos Hashem

https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/9968/jewish/Chapter-4.htm

Devarim 4
39 And you shall know this day and consider it in your heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth below; there is none else. לט וְיָֽדַעְתָּ֣ הַיּ֗וֹם וַֽהֲשֵֽׁבֹתָ֘ אֶל־לְבָבֶ֒ךָ֒ כִּ֤י יְהֹוָה֙ ה֣וּא הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם מִמַּ֔עַל וְעַל־הָאָ֖רֶץ מִתָּ֑חַת אֵ֖ין עֽוֹד:
40 And you shall observe His statutes and His commandments, which I command you this day, that it may be well with you and your children after you, and that you may prolong your days upon the earth which the Lord your God gives you forever. מ וְשָֽׁמַרְתָּ֞ אֶת־חֻקָּ֣יו וְאֶת־מִצְו‍ֹתָ֗יו אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָֽנֹכִ֤י מְצַוְּךָ֙ הַיּ֔וֹם אֲשֶׁר֙ יִיטַ֣ב לְךָ֔ וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ אַֽחֲרֶ֑יךָ וּלְמַ֨עַן תַּֽאֲרִ֤יךְ יָמִים֙ עַל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים:

And the Haftorah read on Tisha Baav also ends with emulating Hashem and Knowing Hashem, a G-d who practices kindness, justice and righteousness and in this we we understand and know Him.

https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16006/jewish/Chapter-9.htm
22 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches. כב כֹּ֣ה | אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֗ה אַל־יִתְהַלֵּ֚ל חָכָם֙ בְּחָכְמָת֔וֹ וְאַל־יִתְהַלֵּ֥ל הַגִּבּ֖וֹר בִּגְבֽוּרָת֑וֹ אַל־יִתְהַלֵּ֥ל עָשִׁ֖יר בְּעָשְׁרֽוֹ:
23 But let him that boasts exult in this, that he understands and knows me, for I am the Lord Who practices kindness, justice and righteousness on the earth; for in these things I delight, says the Lord. כג כִּ֣י אִם־בְּזֹ֞את יִתְהַלֵּ֣ל הַמִּתְהַלֵּ֗ל הַשְׂכֵּל֘ וְיָדֹ֣עַ אוֹתִי֒ כִּי אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה עֹ֥שֶׂה חֶ֛סֶד מִשְׁפָּ֥ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בָּאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי־בְאֵ֥לֶּה חָפַ֖צְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה:

The prayer that men say when they put on Tefillin taken from the prophet Hoshea who prophesized prior to the destruction of the temple, speaks about a future redemption and being betrothed to Hashem. 
Hosea 2:21–22.
https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16156/jewish/Chapter-2.htm
כא וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי, לְעוֹלָם; וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי בְּצֶדֶק וּבְמִשְׁפָּט, וּבְחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים.  כב וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי, בֶּאֱמוּנָה; וְיָדַעַתְּ, אֶת-יְהוָה.

21And I will betroth you to Me forever, and I will betroth you to Me with righteousness and with justice and with loving-kindness and with mercy.
22And I will betroth you to Me with faith, and you shall know the Lord.

Most believe that the Churban happened because of Sinas Chinam bc of the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza. But the Gemora doesn't mention Sinas Chinam. Rather the following! English translation follows.

רבי זכריה בן אבקולס
https://he.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A8%D7%91%D7%99_%D7%96%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94_%D7%91%D7%9F_%D7%90%D7%91%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%A1

אמר רבי יוחנן: ענוותנותו של רבי זכריה בן אבקולס, החריבה את ביתנו, ושרפה את היכלנו, והגליתנו מארצנו! 
במדרש רבה

 איכה רבה (בובר) ד"ה מעשה באדם אחד, (וילנא) פרשה ד, ג
 

 מוזכר זכריה בן אבקולס, כאחד החכמים שלא מחו בהתנהגותו של המארח כלפי בר קמצא:

...אמר לו (המארח לבר קמצא) קום לך, לקחו בידו והוציאו, והיה שם רבי זכריה בן אבקולס, והיה סיפק בידו למחות ולא מיחה..." 

Translation

Rabbi Yochanan said: The humility of Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkulas, destroyed our house, and burned our Temple, and exiled us from our country!

 In the Midrash Rabbah
 איכה רבה (בובר) ד"ה מעשה באדם אחד, (וילנא) פרשה ד, ג

 Zechariah ben Avkulas is mentioned as one of the sages who did not protest the host's behavior towards Bar Kamtza:

 ...said to him (the host to Bar Kamtza) get up, they took him by the hand and took him out, and there was Rabbi Zacharia ben Avkulas there, and he had the opportunity to protest and did not protest..."

Another related proof that protesting for Truth and Hashem's Word is incumbent on each and everyone of us happened on the first Tisha Ba'av in the desert. This is a reference to the Sin of the Spies. Why weren't just the Spies punished? 

Why were all the army age men in the Desert, the Midbar, also punished for Chait HaMiraglim the Sin of the Spies so that they too had to die out in the desert?

Because they were at Sinai and knew better and should have protested the report of the Miraglim, even if they were great leaders of that generation. Instead the masses accepted the report and cried for no reason.

Nachala: Kol Yehudi report, Yossi Dagan on Arutz7 update: Violence to Nachala participants reminiscent of Expulsion. Honenu: Nachala Movement begins to establish 3 new settlements in Judea and Samaria and some of the Settlers call upon Honenu for legal aid as they are arrested/detained

Bsd

אל המקום אשר....

Updated July 24,2022
Kol Yehudi
Elchanan Groner, The Jewish Voice 21 Tammuz 2015 - 07/20/2022
(H) translation in English follows

Despite the IDF checkpoints: thousands went to settlement points
Roadblocks by the army and the police put thousands in huge traffic jams.  The IDF confiscated water bottles, while (such measures against) illegal Arab construction near the settlement points were not taken since the forces are only dealing  like this with Jews.

Thousands from all over the country came to settlement points led by the "Nachala" movement. Among those who came: families, teenagers, Rabbis and public figures including the head of the Nachala movement Daniela Weiss, Rabbi Chaim Steiner from the Elder  Rabbis of  Yeshiva Merkaz HaRav, MK Itamar Ben Gvir and others.

The chairman of Nachala, Zvi Elimelech Sharbaf, said at a gathering at the Gush Etzion junction: "This Land is all ours.  Jenin belongs to us, Ramallah belongs to us, these territories are ours. The people of Israel eventually settled in the entire Land of Israel."

 The IDF and the police set up many roadblocks all over Judea and Samaria and checkpoints and restriction orders regarding movement which were signed by Central Command Colonel Yehuda Fuchs and IOS Division Commander Avi Belot. The orders were signed for a period of almost a month and allows each soldier or policeman to decide who can pass through the checkpoints according to his discretion.

 As a result, huge traffic jams were created throughout Judea and Samaria, and thousands were stuck on their way home. In some cases the police officers at the checkpoints did not wear police badges as required. Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Council, and Yisrael Gantz, head of the Binyamin Council, attacked the Minister of Defense, the IDF and the police and even threatened to petition the High Court for the severe harm to the residents.

However, despite the many checkpoints and even harassment of the buses that were on their way to the settlement points, thousands managed to go up until the evening hours of Wednesday to at least six settlement points in Binyamin, Samaria and Judea.

 One location is Ma'ale Jonathan between Barkan and Rabbah, where about 20 families settled. This is land that was purchased by Jews in the 1980s.

 About 1,000 people, including families and teenagers, went to another point near Bruchin. Near Psagot of Binyamin, a "Yachish Zion" Garin was planted. Administration inspectors and IDF soldiers confiscated a vehicle and a cart with bottles of mineral water near the Kochav Ya'akov gas station, and police and soldiers took youths suspected of intending to establish settlements off buses.

 In the area of ​​Gush Talmonim, another settler point came up and hundreds of people were observed in the area.

In the vicinity of Kiryat Arba, two settlement points arose, one of them on Hill 26 where Nati Ozari lived with his family until he was murdered by an Arab terrorist and the hill was destroyed by the IDF.

 In some locations, police officers began to confront the new arrivals
 over the construction of tents. The Nachala movement reported that a member of the management of the movement Yedidya Slonim was arrested for questioning.

 In the meantime, residents who reported to the IDF about illegal building  by Arabs near Kochav Ya'akov in Binyamin, not far from the point that was established near Psagot, the answer by the Command of General Security of Binyamin was that "the force does not jump to (investigate) the (illegal Arab) location following the recent events of the  settlers in the area." In Kfar Singil (Sinjil is a Palestinian village northeast of Ramallah in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank. Wikipedia) reported of illegal cement being poured (by Jews). Security forces arrived in an hour and "did not find any such work".

Arutz7 report
Settlement leader Yossi Dagan: 'We haven't seen such violence since the Expulsion'
Dagan, MK Simcha Rotman, Nachala head arrive at site of new community in Samaria. "The Lapid government is responsible for the violence."

"We have seen terrible scenes of violence here -- for instance, two youths have been seriously injured, one whose jaw seems to be broken and the other has a head wound," Dagan said. "There are thousands of our people here, young and old, with eyes lit up and Zionism burning in their hearts. They came here at the request of the Israeli government, to establish new communities in Judea and Samaria, and there is no more legitimate protest than this," he insisted.

Hebrew text follows English.

Background info about the revival of the Nachala Movement which has recently built significant momentum and support with their recent fundraising campaign  for Yishuv Haaretz in Judea and Samaria and their plan to establishing 3 new Yishuvim (communities).  Establishing facts on the ground is now receiving backlash  (not totally surprising in light of the pattern of the Police to harass Settlers in Judea and Samaria with draconian administrative orders and prosecute them when they act in self defense against Arab aggression ).

English Translation of article in Arutz7
פצוע הלינץ' זועם: שחרור המחבל - פרס לטרור

Hebrew text follows...


Survivor of Lynching on Yom Yerushalayim Is Furious About The Release Of The Terrorist:

 "This is an enemy who at an early age showed anti-Semitism" 

Ephraim Shachor, who, along with his friends, escaped from a brutal lynching near the Lions' Gate on Jerusalem Day.

Now one of the Lynchers at the Lions' Gate in Operation "Shomer HaChomot' will be brought before the Parole Board. "

"There is no doubt that he will return to terrorism. "

Only about a year after the brutal lynching by a number of Arabs by Jews near the Lions' Gate during Operation Guardian of the Walls, one of the terrorists is facing the Prison Service's release committee.

Ephraim Shachor, the driver of the vehicle that was injured in the lynching, sent a message via his attorney, Chaim Bleicher of the Honenu organization, regarding his firm opposition to the terrorist's early release.

Shachor claimed that the terrorist was a man who would return to acts of terrorism against Jews, and that his early release constitutes a reward for terrorism and inspiration for other terrorists to follow in his footsteps.

 "I strongly oppose the early release of the terrorist. This is an enemy who at a young age showed clear anti-Semitism and tried to murder three Jews because they were Jews in the State of Israel. To this day, the terrorist does not recognize the State of Israel as Sovereign  "He will return in the future to support terrorism against Jews as much as he can. The least we can do is keep him in prison until his last day," said Shachor.

He was attacking the fact that the terrorist was appearing before the parole board.  "The parole board is  guilty of considering his release and is complicit with the court that imposed a laughable sentence on him, along with the prosecution who did not appeal the sentence. How could the most active terrorist in such a brutal lynching attack be released a year later?  Many buses were left without a single windshield, and at least seven Jews were injured. "

 "There is no better evidence than this,  that such "punishment" brought zero deterrence on the ground, and that this terrorist is to this day an inspiration to future terrorists. The discussion of early liberation is a reward for terrorism. 
"You have forgotten the simple teachings of the Torah of Israel that a terrorist is deserving of the death sentence , and that an enemy must be destroyed" Shachor wrote.

 Advocate Bleicher added, "This is a terrorist who carried out a lynching attack and from the outset received an extremely lenient punishment, which harms deterrence.  Any attempt to release the terrorist earlier constitutes a reward for the terrorists and is a severe blow to the war on terror.  We will continue to monitor and do everything we can to fight the terrorists and increase deterrence. "

 It will be recalled that in the incident, the driver of a Jewish vehicle and the occupants of his vehicle were attacked with stones in the area of ​​the Lions Gate.  The driver swerved with his vehicle and when he left he was attacked by several Arabs around who tried to lynch him, while defending himself with his bare hands only.

 The terrorist in question took a major part in what was done and was charged with the offenses of an act of terrorism, attempted grievous bodily harm in aggravated circumstances, stone-throwing and intentional sabotage with a racist motive.  The district court sentenced him to one year and eight months in prison, despite opposition from the prosecution demanding 30 months in prison. He is now expected to appear before the parole board to examine the possibility of early release.

 The chairman of the Im Tirzu Organization, Matan Peleg, responded: "This is a crazy chain of failures in the legal system that puts Israeli citizens in danger.  First, the fact that the prosecution demanded only 30 months in prison for the heinous terrorist attack instead of 20 years in prison.  Secondly, the Jerusalem District Court handed down an embarrassing and pathetic sentence, as if was about throwing gum and not an attempted lynching.  Thirdly, the shameful fact that the Parole Board did not outright reject the request for release.  While members of the security forces do everything in their power to protect the citizens of Israel, the justice system loses it and imposes ridiculous punishments that invites future attacks.  "There is an existential need to legislate minimum sentences (that succeed to deter), otherwise we will continue to drift into violent and dangerous anarchy."

פצוע הלינץ' זועם: שחרור המחבל - פרס לטרור


אחד ממבצעי הלינץ' בשער האריות במבצע 'שומר החומות' יובא בפני ועדת השחרורים. פצוע הלינץ': "אין ספק שישוב לטרור".


כשנה בלבד לאחר הלינץ' האכזרי שביצעו מספר ערבים ביהודים סמוך לשער האריות בזמן מבצע "שומר החומות", עומד אחד המחבלים בפני ועדת השחרורים של שירות בתי הסוהר.

אפרים שחור, נהג הרכב שנפצע בלינץ', שלח באמצעות עו"ד חיים בלייכר מארגון חוננו את התנגדותו הנחרצת לשחרורו המוקדם של המחבל.

שחור טען כי מדובר באדם שישוב למעשי טרור כנגד יהודים, וכי שחרור מוקדם שלו מהווה פרס לטרור והשראה למחבלים אחרים ללכת בעקבותיו.

"אני מתנגד נחרצות לשחרורו המוקדם של המחבל. מדובר באויב שכבר בגיל צעיר גילה אנטישמיות מובהקת וניסה לרצוח שלושה יהודים בגלל היותם יהודים במדינת ישראל. המחבל עד עצם היום הזה אינו מכיר במדינת ישראל כריבון ואינו מתנצל בפני הנפגעים. אין ספק שהוא שורש פורה ראש ולענה, והוא ישוב בעתיד לתמוך בטרור נגד יהודים ככל ויתאפשר לו. המעט שבמעט הוא להשאיר אותו בכלא עד יומו האחרון", אמר שחור.

הוא תקף את העמדת המחבל בפני ועדת השחרורים. "ועדת השחרורים חוטאת בעצם הדיון בשחרורו ומצטרפת לבית המשפט שהטיל עליו עונש מגוחך, ולפרקליטות חדלת האישים שלא ערערה על קלות העונש. איך ייתכן שהמחבל הפעיל ביותר בפיגוע לינץ' כה אכזרי ישוחרר כעבור שנה? לסדום היינו? אציין שכבר בשנה החולפת מאז הפיגוע נרגמו במקום האירוע אוטובוסים רבים שנותרו ללא שמשה אחת שלימה, ולפחות שבעה יהודים נפצעו".

"אין ראיה טובה מזו לכך שהענישה שלכם הביאה אפס הרתעה בשטח, ושהמחבל הזה הוא עד עצם היום הזה השראה למחבלים הבאים. הדיון בשחרור מוקדם הוא פרס לטרור. שכחתם את המוסר הפשוט של תורת ישראל שמחבל הוא בן מוות, שאויב צריך להשמיד", כתב שחור.

עו"ד בלייכר הוסיף, "מדובר במחבל שביצע פיגוע לינץ' ומלכתחילה קיבל עונש מקל ביותר, אשר פוגע בהרתעה. כל ניסיון לשחרר את המחבל מוקדם יותר מהווה פרס למחבלים ופגיעה קשה במלחמה בטרור. אנו נמשיך לעקוב ולעשות ככל שביכולתנו כדי להילחם במחבלים ולהגביר את ההרתעה".

נזכיר כי באירוע הותקפו נהג רכב יהודי ונוסעי רכבו באבנים באזור שער האריות. הנהג סטה עם רכבו וכאשר יצא הותקף על ידי מספר ערבים מסביב שניסו לבצע בו לינץ', בעודו מגן על עצמו בידיו החשופות בלבד.

המחבל המדובר לקח חלק עיקרי בנעשה והואשם בעבירות של מעשה טרור, ניסיון חבלה חמורה בנסיבות מחמירות, יידוי אבנים וכן חבלה במזיד ממניע גזעני. ביהמ"ש המחוזי גזר עליו שנה ושמונה חודשי מאסר, על אף התנגדות הפרקליטות שדרשה 30 חודשי מאסר. כעת הוא צפוי לעמוד בפני ועדת השחרורים לבחינת אפשרות של שחרור מוקדם.

יו"ר תנועת אם תרצו מתן פלג הגיב: "מדובר בשרשרת מטורפת של כשלים במערכת המשפט שמעמידה את אזרחי ישראל בסכנה. ראשית העובדה שהפרקליטות דרשה רק 30 חודשי מאסר למחבל המתועב במקום 20 שנה בפנים. שנית בית המשפט המחוזי בירושלים שגזר עונש מביך ועלוב, כאילו מדובר בזריקת מסטיק ולא בניסיון לינץ'. שלישית העובדה המבישה שוועדת השחרורים לא דחתה על הסף את בקשת השחרור. בעוד שאנשי כוחות הביטחון עושים כל שביכולתם להגן על אזרחי ישראל, מערכת המשפט מאבדת עשתונות וגוזרת עונשים מצחיקים שמזמינים את הפרעות הבאות. קיים צורך קיומי לחוקק עונשי מינימום אחרת נמשיך לגלוש לאנרכיה אלימה ומסוכנת''.

From Israel: True Sovereignty at Long Last??

July 20, 2022

I am putting this brief posting out as a preview of what we may see coming down the road in the next couple of days with regard to the Nachala Movement Project.

The plans are in place – and they are extensive. Three temporary yeshuvim (settlements) are to be set up rapidly. One each in Binyamin, Samaria and Judea. Each has been selected for ease of access and with careful vetting regarding the status of the land as State Land without Palestinian Arab claims. The precise locations have not yet been revealed.

Families have volunteered to come be there, through Shabbat. Yeshiva students will be studying. There will be an extensive presence in each locale. Thousands are involved.

~~~~~~~~~~

Vast amounts of PR are coming from the Movement, and signs are being posted. The PR includes endorsements from rabbis, pictures of families participating, and much more.

From the Nachala leadership material that came out on Tuesday (rough translation from the Hebrew, emphasis added):

"A Jew should feel that when the people of Israel need him, he is ready to leave everything and say: I am here!

"…Starting tomorrow, a settlement operation will begin in the Judea and Samaria region, with a twofold goal: to establish settlements literally, but no less important to flood the public consciousness with awareness of the Arab takeover of Judea and Samaria compared to the freeze on Jews.

"…The divine promise is for all of our land…"

"Precisely in the days when the spies searched the land and plowed into their hearts evil thoughts, we will make an historical correction.

"….Even if we are stopped on the way, even if it is all as if there is nothing – our goal is not just the establishment but the very effort and the flooding of interest in the public consciousness."

~~~~~~~~~~

The organizers emphasized that they have no intention of confronting security forces. All will be done in an uplifting atmosphere.

~~~~~~~~~~

"….if we succeed, we will try to spend the next few days in these settlements. But also reaching one day is significant, and contributes greatly to educating children to love the country, Zionism, and devotion to values…

"We will surely go up since we inherited it…"

~~~~~~~~~~

It will be very difficult, I have no doubt. But there is a way in which they will almost surely succeed because of the goal of raising awareness in the nation.

Defense Minister Gantz is playing tough guy, making pronouncements about how this is illegal and he does not permit illegal building.

He was a fool to take this position, however, because he permits illegal building every day – when it is Arabs doing that building. And this too will come more into the consciousness of the public with this situation. What he does is selective law enforcement, and we will be hearing a great deal more about this.

~~~~~~~~~~

That he is running scared on this situation is obvious. It has to look bad for him because his security forces will be confronting families with kids and religious students. There is no way he can represent them as "troublemakers." In fact, he is attempting to shame these very decent people into thinking twice before – shock!! – breaking the law.

We also know he is running scared because there were reports Tuesday of a car driving through various communities announcing that the Nachala event had been cancelled. Were they stupid enough to think that those involved would fall for this?

They tried.

"We have to be very focused, purposeful and patient," came the message from Nachala leaders. "If we are not patient, we will not be able to reach the desired goal."

~~~~~~~~~~

What we cannot laugh at, even momentarily, is the response of Peace Now and similar groups. These vile people also expose themselves with their statements. They have announced intention of going out to stop the Nachala program in the hills. Will the security forces prevent them from trying??

From Peace Now: "The establishment of new terrorist outposts, accompanied by an open campaign and backed by the Messianic right, is a well-planned attack against the Israeli interest." A great deal more to say about this, going forward.

~~~~~~~~~~

Pray, my friends. Pray for the peace and the success of the Nachala Movement. Pray for the strength of Israel.

Fwd: Is it Mutar for Yeshivos to Accept Government Funding?



Bsd

Lichvod Rabbonim and Spiritual Leaders:

Urgent SOS

We, the Nation of Israel and our Spiritual Leaders are Hashem's spokespeople to the world as what is considered moral and ethical as per G-d's teachings. When we are silent the void is being filled with "values' antithetical to G-d's commandments and violate and reject the 7 Noahide laws. 

The 7 Noahide Laws: Universal Morality
"These laws were communicated by G‑d to Adam and Noah, ancestors of all human beings. That is what makes these rules universal, for all times, places and people:"

We don't want our kids brainwashed by a value system that defies the Almighty G-d. We also don't want society to be brainwashed with G-dless "values".

G-d fearing secular non Jews are also now advising parents not to send their kids to public schools which is run by G-dless political operatives.

A fresh look

BS"D

IS IT HALACHICALLY ALLOWED FOR YESHIVOS TO ACCEPT GOVERNMENT FUNDING? A FRESH LOOK

Did the title surprise you? If you are thinking "Why on earth should we not accept government help?", then you should know that this question was seriously debated by the Gedolim, including Rav Aharon Kotler Zatzal, back in the 1961.

What would the potential issurim be? The most obvious is the prohibition against putting the chinuch of our children into the hands of kofrim. In general, the rule in life is that whoever pays the bills calls the shots, and there's no way that we could allow the government to have a dei'a in our Yeshivos and Bais Yaakovs, which are run according to a sacred, untouchable, mesora.

So how did the heter to take money come about? Some history is in order. The poverty in the community decades ago was a huge issue, and many children would have gone to public school, had there been no loophole to allow acceptance of outside funding.

Even with the specter of Jewish children going to public school for no other reason than lack of funds to sustain the yeshivas, the allowance to accept assistance from the government was still not simple. The book "A Fire in his Soul" details how in 1961, Rav Aharon Kotler Zatzal and other Gedolim deliberated for months, and received input from lawyers and other experts. The Gedolim were assured that government interference in the schools was impossible, based on 1) the history of American democracy, 2) the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and American law, 3) the tolerance and democratic bent of the American people, who would not permit the violation of Jewish religious liberty or the Jews' right to trannsmit Torah teachings to their children.

Additionally, the Rabbonim based their decision on the fact that the federal aid would give the yeshivos the opportunity to expand and help thousands more children access a Torah education, and that the money to be paid to the yeshivos was not a gift, but rather a payment of a debt owed by the govenment, for the schools having maintained secular studies departments for decades while receiving zero funding, at the same time as Jewish parents paid property taxes which went towards the funding of public schools.

Only with the firm guarantee that the government would have absolutely no say in the running of the yeshivas, and for the above additional reasons, was the heter given to accept the money. It is critical to remember this.

Subsequent to Rav Aaharon Kotler's petira in 1962, the inaugral issue of The Jewish Observer in 1963 contained a long article by Rabbi Moshe Sherer z"l explaining the importance of accepting the government assistance, in order to avoid Jewish children ending up in public school.

Baruch Hashem, there is enough money within the community nowadays, that our own philanthropists and community members are capable of providing for the needs of our yeshivos, and Rabbi Sherer's reason does not apply.

Even more compelling, though, is the fact that it seems clear that the three foundations to the guarantee of governmental non-interference in our mesora of chinuch, on which Rav Aharon based his heter, have evaporated.

The government is currently interfering in the most egregious of ways in the very fundamentals of our Yiddishkeit, right in the hallowed halls of the yeshiva. For example, they mandate a certain amount of hours of secular subjects, which topics, and how they are taught. Not only that, but currently they are seeking to mandate that to'eiva be taught in our schools.

The question begs asking: Would Rav Aharon have given his heter to accept government money if he would be looking at our current situation in 2022?

I will leave it to the reader to use his imagination.
