Nobody Asked the "Rabbis" Who Is Jewish And Who Isn't Jewish...

When Torah reads the following, it comes with an implied caveat: provided that it's in keeping with Torah:

⁸ “If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses. ⁹ And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment. ¹⁰ You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the LORD chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you. ¹¹ According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you. ¹² Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel.

The following is a far cry from Torah:

AND WHATEVER [WOMAN] WHO CANNOT CONTRACT KIDDUSHIN etc. How do we

know [it of] a Canaanitish bondmaid?

27 — Said R. Huna, Scripture saith, Abide ye here with [‘im]

the ass

28 — it is a people [‘am] like unto an ass.29 We have thus found that kiddushin with her is

invalid:

Talmud - Mas. Kiddushin 68b

how do we know that the issue takes her status? — Because Scripture saith, the wife and her children

shall be her master's.

1 How do we know [it of a freeborn] Gentile woman? — Scripture saith, neither

shalt thou make marriages with them.

2 How do we know that her issue bears her status? — R.

Johanan said on the authority of R. Simeon b. Yohai, Because Scripture saith, For he will turn away

thy son from following me:

3 thy son by4 an Israelite woman is called thy son, but thy son by a

heathen is not called thy son.

5 Rabina said: This proves that thy daughter's son by a heathen is called

thy son.

6 Shall we say that Rabina holds that if a heathen or a [non-Jewish] slave cohabits with a

Jewess the issue is mamzer?

7 — [No.] Granted that he is not [regarded as] fit,8 he is not mamzer

either, but merely stigmatised as unfit.

9

Now, that [verse] refers to the seven nations!

10 whence do we know it of other nations? —

Scripture saith, ‘For he will turn away [thy son],’ which includes all who may turn [him] away. That

is well according to R. Simeon, who interprets the reason of Scripture.

11 But on the view of the

Rabbis,

12 what is the reason?13 — Scripture saith, and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her

husband, [etc.],

14 whence it follows that before that kiddushin with her is invalid.

We have thus found that kiddushin with her is not recognised. How do we know that her child is

as herself? — Scripture saith, If there be to a man [two wives] . . . and they bare to him [children]:

15

where we read ‘if there be’,

16 we also read: ‘and they bare to him’;17 but where we do not read: ‘If

there be’, we do not read: ‘and they bare to him’. If so, is not a [heathen] bondmaid likewise? —

Yes, it is even thus. Then what is the purpose of ‘the wife and her children shall be her master's’? —

For what was taught:

Talmud - Mas. Kiddushin 69a

If he says to his bondmaid, ‘Behold, thou art free, but thy child [yet to be born] shall be a slave,’ the

‘child is as herself: this is the view of R. Jose the Galilean; the Sages maintain: His words are valid,

1

for it is said: ‘the wife and her children shall be her master's’. How does this teach it?

2 — Said Raba:

This refers to R. Jose the Galilean's [ruling].

3

MISHNAH. R. TARFON SAID: MAMZERIM

4 CAN BE PURIFIED.5 HOW? IF A MAMZER

MARRIES

6 A BONDMAID, HER SON IS A SLAVE;7 IF HE IS FREED, IT IS FOUND THAT

THE SON IS A FREE MAN.
8 R. ELIEZER SAID: BEHOLD, HE IS A SLAVE, A MAMZER.9

Firstly, ishah came from ish, Chavah from 'Adam, not vice versa. Secondly, ha'av shel ha'ishah gives and the prospective chatan takes ha'ishah; which is clear in D'varim 7:1-5, which reads in part, "Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son." For a lack of a better term; the men do the giving and taking here.

Thirdly, women cannot give or receive yDNA (pitrochondrial, or paternal, Y-Chromosome DNA); and the mispacha v'bnei are defined by harosh l'mispacha v'bnei-- ha'av! So, even genetics and traditional, innate roles prove that the dads-- not the moms, not the "rabbis"-- primarily define whether or not a child is Jewish.

This isn't to say that Matrilineal Jews aren't Jews or Jewish, but that Patrilineal Jewishness was the first and is the primary descent through which Jews trace their Jewishness. Matrilineal Jews, however, have been around since haben shel HaDanit who fought with a fellow Yisra'eli was born.

So I Did A Head-Pounding But Worth-It Thing....

I reinitiated the investigation into Great-Grandma's death, this time correcting details which I had written before and adding information when rewriting the Attorney General's office. My heart is pounding, head aching, etc. and I had to pee; aval "Tzedek, tzedek tirdof". So what if Mom and Aunt Mary find out? I firmly believe that Mary M. Trudnak Czarnecki would not have gone to the hospital and gotten her leg amputated without knowing that someone was going to fight for her and to pursue justice against Jack Czarnecki someday. 

I Mean; To Be Fair, I Find P'rushi Judaism Like Even My Rusnak Mishpacha Practiced Disturbing And, Yes, Arrogant...

I agree with FailedMessiah.com, though the blogger for "Failed Messiah" himself says:

"All converts need is a true desire to be Jewish and a willingness to learn Jewish law and custom. Katia and Alex have met both of those requirements very well. But there's something else this patronizing hack doesn't understand.

"There's a halakhic category called "zera yisrael," non-Jews descended from Jews. Jews have no obligation to encourage or make easy the conversions of non-Jews, but we do for Zera Yisrael. The bar for reentry to the religious body called the Jewish people is lower than the bar for the first time entry of other converts. That's because they already are in some sense a part of the national component of this religious body, while the others are not. Think of it as a cross between a type of reclamation project and a legacy admission to an Ivy League college.

"Katia and Alex put their lives on the line to defend Jews, many of whom shirk their own duty to serve and instead sit in yeshivas until late middle age, drinking coffee, talking politics and, occasionally, learning a little Gemara."

Katia and Alex are not Non Jews. A Yid iz a Yid; un a goy iz a goy, un a zera Yisroel iz a Yid vayl er oder zi iz a zera Yisroel, amer shel Yisroel.

Yitzhak Nates? Boy; Using a Hebrew Name In a Blog Suddenly Gets One Connected To a Pedophile...

Someone keyword searched "'Yitzhak nates' child molester" and somehow found my blog... and all because I used the name of avinu Yitzhak ben-Avraham v'Sarah in a blog post. So, who is Yitzhak Nates? Let me guess... another haredi child molestor or pedophile? I'm guessing that Failed Messiah's  blog will appear in the Google search results...

So far...

One innocuous example...

Nothing bad yet... or did the bar mitzvah make the session out okay, unharmed, untouched?

The article that caught my attention after the bar mitzvah one... maybe I'll enter the keywords "child molester" beside "Yitzhak Nates"...

I spelled "molester" wrong, but...

I mean, I see nothing; but if Reverend Nates is truly ra'ah l'bnai v'bati'yot shel Yisra'el; why isn't someone reporting him? As someone noted, reporting a child molester is a mitzvah, v'mitzvah l'tov l'bnei v'baityot.

If Jewish Priniciple Is Correct, Though This May Actually Be P'rushi Principle...

In other words, this probably isn't Kara'i (Messianic and Non-Messianic) principle. According to our Antimissionary "friend" Tracey R. Rich of the (in)famous JewFAQ:

"There is no question that in traditional Judaism, the primary role of a woman is as wife and mother, keeper of the household. However, Judaism has great respect for the importance of that role and the spiritual influence that the woman has over her family. The Talmud says that when a pious man marries a wicked woman, the man becomes wicked, but when a wicked man marries a pious woman, the man becomes pious. The child of a Jewish woman and a gentile man is Jewish because of the mother's spiritual influence; the child of a Jewish man and a gentile woman is not. See Who Is a Jew? Women are exempted from all positive mitzvot ("thou shalts" as opposed to "thou shalt nots") that are time-related (that is, mitzvot that must be performed at a specific time of the day or year), because the woman's duties as wife and mother are so important that they cannot be postponed to fulfill a mitzvah. After all, a woman cannot be expected to just drop a crying baby when the time comes to perform a mitzvah. She cannot leave dinner unattended on the stove while she davens ma'ariv (evening prayer services)." [Links in original text]

Kara (Scripture) would seem to indicate this given Shlomo and his marrying foreign women. However, Kara reminds us, for example:

1. 'Adam, not Chavah, was created first. Chavah was taken from man, and a man is the rosh of his household and his wife.
2. Chavah was deceived by the serpent, whereas 'Adam knew better and pinned what happened solely on his wife, anyway.
3. In the full Tanakh, patrilineal descent was almost always the primary descendant.

In conclusion, Tracey R. Rich and other P'rushim v'P'rushiyot can try to blame the woman's influence; but ultimately the man should be taking responsibility and be a good influence on his wife.. However, the husband, because he has a greater role, also has more responsibility for himself and in affecting (not effecting) others.

Anyone Who Wants a Disabled Dog To Die Can Go To Hell...

And being disabled myself yet also human, I have to at least sometimes condemn myself as well (and for hypocrisy at minimum). Yet I remember how I was able to rescue my then-non-disabled cat, Natasha (often called "Tashi" and "Tasha", and other variants-- and I did not rename her.). When Tashi was in her last days, I had to move her upstairs (she was in the basement before; and when she wasn't in the basement-- since she was an outdoor and furniture cat, and my mom had to manage that--, she was roaming around the house and outdoors). And I even built a handicapped-pets' ramp for her to get into her new, makeshift litterbox (She was very sick by then.).

Are Blacks Descendants Of Kayin (Cain)? Perhaps, But...

 

⁵ From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
⁶ The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. ⁷ The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.  (From Genesis 10, NKJV)

There is no evidence that Noach is descended from Kayin or that his are. All are descended from 'Adam and Shet, but not Kayin. Who the wives of Noach and his sons are descended from is also unevidenced, and it is even left unknown.

George Soros Needs To Be Tried At Nuremburg

Let's get the UN and ICC to commence perhaps the last Nuremburg trial. After all, George Soros was a kapo well past bar-mitzvah age and knew exactly what he was doing. If you need a refresher on how evil George Soros is, just look at the picture that another blogger found-- a defiant, insidious 14-year-old young man in a kapo uniform.

Well, My Friend's Right: Good Is Called Bad, and Vice Versa

"'This world is up side down, a Billionaire dies and all laments his death cause he gave to the world a computer, tablets phones etc.. but has you stop for a moment to think how many people have die the last minute and many passed to the eternity without the love of G-d in them? So please get over it, one human being is not more valuable than another human being, we all have been created in the image of G-d. The last time I check the most extraordinary human being who ever lived, die on a cross not far from where I am sitting, and G-d rose him from the dead, he literally has impacted humanity without ipads and iphones through out the ages... that my 
friend is awesome!'"


To be fair, as far as we all know, Steve Jobs died a Buddhist who gained the whole world yet lost his soul. Perhaps in his last days he became a Christian, or became a Christian even earlier and was just quiet about it. Still:


   
¹² “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ ¹³ When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. ¹⁴ Again, when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, ¹⁵ if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. ¹⁶ None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
¹⁷ “Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair! ¹⁸ When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it. ¹⁹ But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it. ²⁰ Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways.”


(From Ezekiel 33, NKJV)

"Crazy", Am I? If I Wasn't (Viewed As) Such, I'd Worry.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: 

      “ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
      And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”<sup>[a]

20</sup> Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. ²² For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks^[b] foolishness, ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁶ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; ²⁸ and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in His presence. (1 Corinthians 1:18-29, NKJV)"

In fact, Youcef Khanaderi has a honor in being thought crazy by his fellow Iranians, just as Stephen was thought crazy by many of his fellow Jews:

⁵¹ “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so doyou. ⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, ⁵³ who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”


⁵⁴ When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. ⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” ⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; ⁵⁸ and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” ⁶⁰ Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. (From Acts 7)


So if I ever have to be killed like Stephen or Youcef Khanaderi, so be that I be killed. I'll have my soul, I'll have a new life, and I'll have hope in a resurrection.

I Wonder What Skylar Curtis And Others Will Do With This

Not that I agree that Jesus endorsed Kabbalah by any stretch, but  I wonder what Skylar Curtis is going to do with this, since Kabbalah is a P'rushi thing. She can scoff now, but she has to practice not suppressing and dismissing evidence as an aspiring lawyer. In this case, P'rushim endorse the Kara'i Yeshua as Mashiach; and Skylar will have to dispute these P'rushim talmidim. Item:

"Rabbi Yehoshua ben Yoseph (Jesus the son of Joseph) was the Messiah ben Joseph sent to bring the energy and Light of the Torah to the entire pagan and gentile world."
