What Made Me Respond Was the Presumption and Haugtiness

Nicole Czarnecki I understand the military veterans and the disabled. I do not understand those who won't take the $7-an-hour jobs and start somewhere like many of my relatives did.

[Someone on the forum which I was on] The problem is that people can't live on those kind of wages. Imagine if suddenly you only had 1/4 or 1/3 of your previous earnings to cover home, health ins., food,education. You might work that $7l job but to what end? You might work 2 or 3 of those jobs... and people do---that's why they're called the working poor.

Nicole Czarnecki I'd be blessed to even be able to do that; and my great-granddad did that with six people to provide for in his household, and my granddad for 11 people.

 

Great-Granddad Tony Czarnecki inherited three houses from his dad, Julian, since he was the oldest son and the only one old enough to do so at the time. He was 18 on October 24, 1922; almost two weeks to the month anniversary of Great-Great-Granddad Julian's death. Great-Great-Granddad earned $5,000 a year by having himself and Great-Granddad be the breadwinners; and when he died, the income for 10 survivors (since three children had died) was down to near $2,000 (at least by 1930, when Great-Granddad was in a Wood River, Illinois mental hospital; far from Sugar Notch, and thus unable to help the then-nine survivors-- Great-Grandaunt Regina died on June 23, 1925.).

 

Great-Granddad then lived in 203 Freed Street with his wife (Mary M. Trudnak Czarnecki), sons Anthony, Jr. (1934-1934), John "Jack" (b. May 25, 1936), Francis "Red" (June 21, 1940 - July 9, 1985), James (later James, Sr. and Jim; b. November 24, 1942), and Anthony, Jr. the Younger (b. January 19, 1946; and still at home and in college when his dad committed suicide on December 2, 1964). He coal mined in Sugar Notch, then worked as a lawnmower in Watervilet, New York (and Great-Grandma's name is listed on the apartment, because he was probably too poor and working hard when he lost his job in the Sugar Notch coal mines).

 

Other relatives, including Mom's dad (who I already covered), were also the working poor. So, as I said, "I understand the military veterans and the disabled. I do not understand those who won't take the $7-an-hour jobs and start somewhere like many of my relatives did." Quit occupying Wall Street and work like avoti did.

Toby Keith Sure Isn't "Country As Conbread" or "Good As He Once Was" Anymore...

I wonder how the '90s- Early '00s Toby would feel about the Late '00s-Present Toby Keith, by the way. Would he like him? Or would he just be the closeted him-- that is, the "old" Toby Keith hiding the "new", disingenous Toby Keith. I remember even watching on CMT that Toby explicity promised G-d that if he didn't get ito the music business by the time that he was 30, he would quit trying. Is what Toby has become a result of breaking that promise at 32 years of age?

The "new" Toby Keith is even... more drunk than ever? He also was very classess to his wife, Tricia, recently:

"Although Keith's daughter immediately loved the idea of using the insult as the album's title, Keith's wife wasn't so keen. He adds, "My wife freaked out. She was mad at the girl because she is a well-known person in our community. I view that kind of stuff as funny. I take that stuff in stride and my daughter is the same way. My wife is a little more particular. She said, 'You're not going to (name the album that).' She thought I was joking. And then I brought one home and laid it on the countertop!""

What a jerk to Tricia! And for example:

""She said [her daughter] should quit running with [my daughter]," said Keith, "because, she said, 'They're nothing but white trash with money, anyway.' My wife is very classy, and when she heard this she was mad -- I mean MAD. She said, 'I'll deal with the mother.' "

When they told Keith about the insult, however, he didn't show the outrage they expected.

"I started laughing," he says. "I said, 'Why are you offended? That's all I've ever been. If you think I'm white trash with money, well, I'm proud of it and I'll take it all the way to the bank. To prove it, that sounds like a great album title to me.' ""

Toby Keith's a Class-A jerk! On one hand, he praises Tricia for being classy; then on the other hand, he rubs Tricia's class right in her face. Also:

"Still, he says, his wife has to nag him to get a haircut, he drives a pickup truck and hangs proudly to his self-described "white trash" origins. A part of that, it seems, is his overflowing confidence."

Really, Toby; Tricia cares about you, and you're rich enough to get a haircut. Even I'm growing my hair long, but I keep my split ends trimmed. Besides, what's this where you're with Tricia (unless she's a body double or my eye's playing tricks) versus this? Not a real good example for Stelen, is it? The former is a much-better example-- and more respectful to his mother.

What Color Was Adam? Hint: 'Adom

Verses using "ruddy" or "'adom" in the New King James version:

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.
