Fwd: Woke Kindergarten. Ugh. Brooklyn Schools becoming a hotbed for supporting Jihad?

Free Palestine a Visual History    Instazine

So you made it to a protest

NYC elementary teachers draw from anti
 Israel propaganda to twist 'Wheels on the Bus’ to celebrate the eradication of 
Jewish state
By Deirdre Bardolf
Published Jan. 27, 2024

My protest letter to employees at 
schools.nyc.gov

There is no equivalency between Hamas Jihad and Israel's moral right to self defense. 

This perverted equivalency is not education. 
--------- Forwarded message ---------

Dear Superintendent Shenean Lindsay and school officials,

This is beyond disturbing.

Fire the Jihadists teachers. 

Ban and mark criminal the woke propaganda that has horrific educational value...way worse than no educational value!

They are destroying the minds of innocent children and laying the groundwork of the destruction of the fabric of a civilized society.

The woke Kindergarten material in the links above embed a few elements of "education" for legitimacy purposes and subtly, encourages everything but!

It subtly pushes Jihad and the elimination of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish People. That is precisely behind the meaning of seemingly innocuous words "Free Palestine".
 
In addition woke education promotes disturbing morality and normalizes it. It teaches against G-d's basic laws of Civilization and morality. 

This education directly opposes an Almighty G-d and His Laws passed down from the beginning of time.

Bring woke is being rebellious of a Moral Code meant for the benefit of humanity. Being woke means you think you know better than G-d. Your values are better than G-d's values. You do not want G-d telling you what to do and how to behave.

You are teaching children that perversion is the norm.

This is sick and is producing a sick society.

The propaganda desensitizes young children to the reality of what "From the River to the Sea" actually means. It teaches absolute lies to the children while encouraging them to join adults to rally for Jihad. Disgusting.

What should be taught?

Basic Laws of Civilization and Morality known as the 7 Noahide Laws.

Not to do as did Hamas at the Nova festival butchering and murdering and raping and burning and looting  and kidnapping more than 1,200 innocent people. Each one of these subhuman acts is a direct violation of one of the 7 Noahide Laws 

Hamas was voted into power by Palestinians after International pressures forced 10,000 Jews from their beautiful homes in 2005. These Settlers were mainly farmers, living in the Gaza strip and employed Gazans as workers.

 It is the Palestinians who are occupying Jewish Land since 2005. They used the metal from the Jewish hot houses, not to grow vegetables, but to send rockets into Southern Israel. They spent billions of dollars not to build beautiful communities in which to live,  as did the Jews, by the Sea but rather to build underground tunnels in which to store weapons and prepare for war against Israel. 

Hamas are and were the Occupiers in Gaza. This woke false narrative of the "Israeli Occupation" by the International Community, based on lies, was the catalyst for one of the greatest injustices in our lifetime and directly contributed to the war Gaza today.


 In 2005, under Ariel Sharon, due to intense International pressures and a weak Israeli government, Jews were tragically expelled from their homes in our ancestral and Biblical homeland. After  1967 War, these Jews had settled in the Gaza strip, totally legally,  and built 22 beautiful communities called Gush Katif. They created heaven-like communities. With love, sweat and tears, they built an oasis from barren land in the desert. They were primarily  farmers growing all kinds of produce for local and international export such as flowers, delicious fruits and vegetables including bug free lettuce. 

In 2005, these amazing Settlers were brutally expelled and their 
beautiful homes, community centers and prayers of worship were destroyed, reduced to rubble.

That is the truthful narrative regarding Israel "Occupation" of Palestinians.

Mohammad Kabiya was courageous to say it on BBC.

Read the comments.

Israeli soldiers are now reconquering what legitimately belongs to the Nation of Israel. 

In one of your schools in District 17, it has been reported (see link above) that two third grade teachers took it upon themselves to teach their young students Palestinian history, indoctrinating some of your over 17,000 students about "Palestine", a place that does not even exist on a legal world map (though in your District 15 school they had a map with "Palestine" in place of Israel.)

Those who support Hamas knowingly and does not show remorse will reap what they sowed. They will eat the poisoned fruit of their labor. They support death and destruction, tyranny and curses upon innocent people. Let they themselves bear the brunt of what they wish for others rather than upon innocent peopl

Those who teach G-d's Laws will be Blessed. Those who Bless Israel will be Blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

You choose.

Fwd: Ticker Tu Bishvat Seder תשפ"ד 2024


Bs"d

לעלוי נשמת
My mother
 שיינדל ב"ר יעקב ז"ל 
Whose English birthday fell out today Jan 24 and her Hebrew Birthday was either on טו בשבט Tu Bishvat or the day after. 

Hi Everyone! 
If you can not make it to our Seder there is material here that may be helpful to you if you make your own Tu Bishvat Seder. If you will not be attending but want to get a better understanding, please print out the link from AISH. 

If you read through the AISH link carefully you will notice that the Tu Bishvat Seder is divided into 8 Sections.  Like a Passover Seder things are done in an order and food is eaten in a particular order.  

Here is the reference where all this is coming from:
Kabbalistic Tu B'shvat Seder
From Aish


 We organized the fruit into various categories.

To make things clear here are  different categories.

 The Category number we gave each food item corresponds with the Section in the Seder it is eaten, followed by the # cup of wine where it is eaten.  

The Program and a description of the Sections of the Seder follows below.

We drink the 4 cups of wine in sections 6 and 7.
The 4 cups of wine for Tu Bishvat:
1. All white wine
2. Mainly white wine
3. Mainly red wine
4. All red wine

For example, for a fruit that is category 61, it is eaten in Section 6 and it has inedible shells and peels and is eaten following the 1st cup of wine which is white wine.  

Food items were divided into categories:
Category 4         All Motzei, Mezonot (bread, cookies, rice, pasta)
Category 5        7 Minim 
Category 61       All Fruits with inedible shells and peels
Category 72       All Fruits with edible shells and inedible pits (2nd cup of white wine mixed with little red wine)
Category 73        All Fruits with edible shells and edible seeds (3rd cup of red wine mixed with white wine)
Category 74        Fragrance (like Etrog)

The Program begins:

Section 1    
Introduction: See Aish link printout. Summary...
Identifying the 7 Minim. (Special fruits of Israel)
Identifying Different categories of fruit (fruit that have inedible shell, fruits with edible peels but inedible pits, fruits whose entire fruit is edible and Fragrance)

Section 2
Why have a Seder
Remembering Bikurim
Remembering Tithes
        Sin of the Tree of Knowledge (Adam)
Section 3

Making sure we enjoy the fruits Hashem has given us.
Elevating the fruit with a Bracha infusing the world with Holiness absorbing spiritual essence of food.


Section 4
Eating Grain products
Tenufa - Bringing the Omer, the Barley offering on Passover. Difference between barley and wheat.

Section 5  Eating 7 Species of Israel in specific order if there is no preference (7 Minim). Olives, dates, grapes, figs,pomegranates.

Section 6  
First cup of wine (white wine)
Eating fruits of category 61,  all Fruits with inedible shells and peels

Section 7 cups 2,3,4

2nd cup of wine (white wine mixed with a little red wine)
eating fruits of category 72, all Fruits with edible shells and inedible pits.

3rd cup of wine with more red wine than white wine.
Eating fruits of Category 73, a
ll fruits with edible shells and edible seeds.
4th cup of wine (all red)
  Fragrance.  Category 74 Thinking about Esrog


Section 8  Bracha Acharona. Thanking Hashem for the food we just ate

Thanks so much for participating. Happy Tu Bishvat!

אל המקום אשר....


Dear Queens College officials,

I hope you realize that you are giving a platform to those who are even worse than the Nazis.

The Nazis didn't video or brag about their atrocities.

Hamas Terrorists do and did. The videos are out there for all to see. They are proud of their Jihadism.

ISIS/Hamas and Fatah have the same Jihad education. The agenda is simply the extermination of the Saturday people first and then the Sunday people.

The organizers of this rally support Hamas who believe that Jews are infidels and like all non Muslims can be slaughtered, raped, beheaded etc and furthermore believe that  that this is something to glorify and aspire. Under Islamic Jihad ideology, this is a Holy War whose end goal is to to murder and butcher the infidels. 

This war is a Holy War to conquer Temple Mount and to exterminate the Jews and conquer the entire Land of Israel and destroy what the Jews, G-d's Chosen people represent.

What does Temple Mount represent? Why is the capture of Temple Mount considered the ultimate Victory  by Hamas? Why did they name this War Mabul Al-Aqsa, Al-Aqsa Deluge 

Temple Mount is the Holiest site for both Jews and non Jews. It is the place where an International Court called the Sanhedrin resided to emulate G-d Almighty whose very essence is about Truth,  Righteousness and Justice. It is a place to spread and enforce G-d's Word, the Divine Moral Code for a peaceful and prosperous and just society.

You have chosen to side with evil and this Evil will then turn it's back on you.  We, the human race, under G-d's benevolent Kingdom will be on the receiving end of what we empower. One who empowers evil,  will reap what they sow. One who empowers, truth, righteousness, justice, mercy and kindness will receive the same as their just reward. 

It is our choice and up to us.

This war is about Good vs Evil.

Queens College, probably blinded by Qatar funding is choosing the side of Evil, the side of Islamic Jihad by allowing this Jihad rally on campus. This is not matter of freedom of expression. It is about allowing poisonous and dangerous ideology to be spewed and to contaminate naive and stupid people.

Queens College inexcusable permission to hold a rally calling for genocide will eventually be called out for what it really is, and Queens College reputation will be sullied and there will be major turnover. This happened in  Germany when the deNazification of Germany following WWII took place.

 Truth and Justice will prevail.

The masterminds and supporters of Hamas will be put on trial  and like the Nuremberg trials, the evil-doers will receive their due punishment.
  
In 1946 Nuremberg, prominent Nazis were tried and convicted and were literally hung on the gallows like Haman's sons.

We demand that all the Queens College administration, faculty and or students who is empowering this evil Jihad rally, be fired immediately, replaced and or thrown out with no tuition refund. There must be no mercy on cruel, barbaric, lying and stupid individuals for getting sucked into lies and deceit of evil planners. 

May the enablers who should know better, be on the receiving end of the likes of Hamas for having empowered them.

May Queens College and all the City Universities return to a bastion of only G-d fearing administrators, faculty and students who know the difference between Good and Evil, who fear a One and Only Almighty G-d and are not afraid to confront and destroy any remnant of ISIS/Hamas/Fatah Jihad ideology on campus.


SHAME ON YOU!!!!

It has come to my attention that on January 25th there is a "Free Palestine" rally planned at the Queens College Campus at the back of Kiely Hall scheduled from 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.

ZOA’s Mort Klein JPost Op-Ed: The Dangers of a Palestinian Arab State Are Now Truer Than Ever (2022). Question...How can we now DeNazify Jihad Indoctrination?

Bsd

Re:
ZOA's Mort Klein JPost Op-Ed: The Dangers of a Palestinian Arab State Are Still True https://zoa.org/2022/01/10444837-zoas-mort-klein-jpost-op-ed-the-dangers-of-a-palestinian-arab-state-are-still-true/

Dear Mort Klein et al, Shlita

Tysm for your excellent Op Ed in Jpost!

David Bedein has been documenting UNRWA's schools Jihadists indoctrination throughout Israel including, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and Gaza for years. Many of the examples you cited probably came from his Center's years of research.

"Our work warns of premeditated attacks on Jews, planned in the open- from safe havens of UNRWA schools .

These are our earlier movies , shot on location at UNRWA facilities, which were not yet given sufficient credence - allowing attacks to occur on October 7, taking Israel by surprise:

https://www.cfnepr.com/205640/Movies"

Now due to everyone's collective amazing efforts to publicize UNRWA's Jihad Hamas alliance, the Dangers of Hamas/Fatah/ISIS Jihad Education, is BH, finally sinking in.

However, even if we succeed to deweaponize and dismantle the existing Terror platforms, UNRWA schools, PA Education etc. it still leaves a void that needs to be filled immediately, otherwise a new wolf will probably emerge claiming to be Grandma.

So let me call your attention to history's successful example of deNazification which managed to transform Nazi Germany into a Democracy.

From https://www.google.com/search?q=denazification+of+germany&oq=dena&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MgYIARBFGDsyBggCEEUYOTINCAMQLhiDARixAxiABDIGCAQQRRg8Mg4IBRC5ARixAxiABBjvBDITCAYQLhiDARivARjHARixAxiABDIOCAcQuQEYsQMYgAQY7wQyDQgIEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQyEAgJEC4YrwEYxwEYgAQYjgXSAQgyNzU0ajBqOagCALACAA&client=ms-android-tmus-us-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

"Denazification (German: Entnazifizierung) was an Allied initiative to rid German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology following the Second World War. It was carried out by removing those who had been Nazi Party or SS members from positions of power and influence, by disbanding or rendering impotent the organizations associated with Nazism, and by trying prominent Nazis for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials of 1946. The program of denazification was launched after the end of the war and was solidified by the Potsdam Agreement in August 1945. The term denazification was first coined as a legal term in 1943 by the U.S. Pentagon, intended to be applied in a narrow sense with reference to the post-war German legal system. However, it later took on a broader meaning.[1]"

DeNazification like methods needs to be adapted today.

The Nation of Israel and the Jewish People, a "Mamlechet Kohanim", a Kingdom of Priests, (even by no choice of our own), we "The Chosen People", are surely the best choice to do the job! We are the Divine Choice to be a role model and teacher to the world, how to transform Jihadism indoctrination into a Moral, Civilized and G-dly society.

Let me direct you to the key, the 7 Noahide Laws. When studied and implemented with G-d's help, will surely be a game changer to bring the ultimate Victory of Good over Evil.

It will in addition also hopefully transform sick progressive leftist Western values from a G-dless society that empowers evil into a civilized society that desires Truth and Justice based on G-d's infinite wisdom and direction.

That can start to happen when we control and replace Jihad education in UNRWA schools (for starters) etc. and incorporate teachings of Torah laws, the 7 Noahide Laws, that is in fact incumbent for all of humanity. These laws are the basic moral code, and are the foundations of a civilized and a moral society which must integrate into all facets of society be it political, educational, military etc.

These teachings need to be paralleled with implementation. We must not delay in bringing to Justice (one of the 7 laws) those that masterminded and took part in the atrocities, murder, butchering and rape of October 7th and still sadly continues... Chas veSholom, Hashem Yishmor! 

(Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a Sanhedrin sitting on Temple Mount to bring Justice to these monsters!?!)

7 Noahide Laws:
Fyi:
Here are some comprehensive sources that teach Jew and non Jew regarding these laws.

https://asknoah.org/wp-content/uploads/7-Laws-Outreach-Booklet-AskNoah.pdf

Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Smith, rabbismith.org actually gives a weekly shiur to non Jews every Sunday morning on the 7 Noahide Laws to Germans. His source is a book by Rabbi Yonasan Steif ob"m the Author of Mitzvoth Hashem. Rabbi Smith is translating this work into English.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonasan_Steif
" Rabbi Steif was rescued from death in the Holocaust in 1944...He was a major Posek, he wrote halachic responsa, works on the Talmud and two works setting forth the obligations of gentiles, one called Sefer Mitsvos Ha-Shem, "The Book of God's Commandments".A number of other works were published later, and are still being worked on today."


Disclaimer:


Who am I to say Hamas should be put on trial by a Sanhedrin on Har HaBayit? I didn't write it that way on purpose. I wrote in parentheses (wouldn't it be nice) as in tongue in cheek because the Hamas wants control of the Beit HaMikdash and it would be nice to see the opposite where their downfall will happen on the Beit HaMikdash. Poetic justice.

But still  who am I, and it is not my place!

I obviously am not Moshiach and even Dovid Hamelech was guided by the prophets and asked the Urim veTumim  to ask Hashem when he was fighting with the Plishtim. 

The best I or others like myself  can do in this point in time is to yearn for Justice and Malchut Shamayim, Malchut Beit David and Binyan Beit HaMikdash and suggest and envision how in my own small minded perception of things, how this can happen.

I recognize that I don't see the full picture so these ideas are mere brainstorming and should not be given more credibility and substance than what it is.

Therefore it should be noted that while I am not demanding (except from HKBH :) that we implement a nascent Sanhedrin putting the Hamas Terrorists on trial on Har HaBayit at this particular point in time, I admit I really like the idea :) and ask that you give it serious consideration.

אל המקום אשר...

Ref: MiGolah LeGeula: From Exile to Redemption p160 based on a Sicha by the Rebbe Shabbos Parsha Re'eh 5746) 

Chapter 2 We Want Moshiach Now. "Because they didn't demand it" (punishment was brought up on those people who didn't demand it)

My question is...So can we demand that Hashem send Moshiach to set up a Sanhedrin at the Beit HaMikdash to bring Justice to our enemies or should we just go for it since the work already has been done and maybe the time is ripe for a Sanhedrin and there won't be a backlash.  Can we go ahead and establish it on Har HaBayit before Moshiach reveals himself. Can we demand that even before Moshiach comes Hashem enables us to set up a Sanhedrin so we can bring Justice to our enemies? Is strong desire and yearning sufficient to make it happen because by doing so that's our way of demanding it from Hashem based on the fact that we deserve it after all the terrible suffering our people have gone through? 
... Also can we demand that we annex Har HaBayit and have the zchut and obligation to bring Korban Pesach this year?
