Prayer Request Re Michelle's Puppy Getting Spayed

Pray for Camille. She is getting spayed at 8:00. She is now almost 9 pounds and over a foot long. She is still small, though, despite that she is half of a year old.

Why I Do What I Do As A (Hopefully-To-Be-More-Than-Aspiring) Commentator, Etc.

I saw that (who I think is) a relative liked one of my posts on my public Facebook page. See; that's part of why I do what I do, too—to bring my families and families like mine back into the fold of Israel​. Mind you, I am not asking anyone to convert back to Rabbinical Judaism—whether you're Messianic or not is your schtick.

Frankly (and I've said this before), I wouldn't care about my Jewish heritage if Jesus (Yeshua) weren't in my life—or, on the other hand, I'd, with all due respect, end up Reform Jewish—and I myself cannot abide by a doctrine that states:

"[T]he texts are certainly divinely inspired and reflect our ancestors' best understanding of God and their covenant with God, as well as their view of God's will, but that is not the same as being divinely-authored."

I've even said that my own father would be Reform were he honest with himself (and he would; trust me), and other relatives (e.g., certain Daniloviches) have gone this way (and they weren't even among the kevorim whom were Anusim).

(By the way, I can assure that the URJ's position does not reflect the position of all Jews in the city in which I was raised; and I apologize for Rabbi Scheinerman on behalf of Columbia-born and -raised. Whatever any of us think of the Talmud, quite a few of us believe in the Torah m'Sinai.)

I don't want especially anyone in hamishpachot b'mispachah Yisra'el sheli to think that:

1. We ought to disown Yeshua just because we're Jewish and b'nei-Anusim.
2. We ought to disregard our Jewish heritage because of Yeshua.
3. We have no obligation to the rest of Beit Ya'akov. 
4. We have to assimilate.
5. We have any obligation to keep Torah, since it was fulfilled. 

There do not need to be any false mutual exclusions, let alone false dichotomies. As I said, then, part of why I do what I do, too is to bring my families and families like mine back into the fold of Israel​ without forcing them to give up or to accept Yeshua.

For An Easy Fast On Yom Kippur

Thinking About Especially Martyred Jews And My Family Tonight: May Yehovah aveng

Thinking About Especially Martyred Jews And My Family Tonight: May Yehovah avenge the blood of all martyred Jews (incl. Anusim & b'nei Anusim; kedoshim & chalalei alike; e.g., Great-Granduncle Bernie, Joseph A. Andrulewicz, Bronislawa "Bernice" z Andrulewiczów Pozniakowa, Antoni Andrulewicz, Franciszek and Witold Andrulewicz with Janina Andrulewiczówna) & Philosemites swiftly & soonly. BTW, the chalalei and kedoshim that were named: DOW 1963, KIA 1944, murdered at Orlinek in 1944, kidnapped in his town of residence by the Nazis, held hostage in a Suwalki prison, and then murdered by execution in Suwalki in 1944; and murdered by the Soviets at the Augustów Massacre--all of branches of the Litvish-Poylishe mishpacha of Kohanim known as the Andrulevic(i)uses. Incidentally, I have no clue why we made up or took that name at Stakliskes--or Vilna or wherever--and I wouldn't lie to, e.g., Jose Gutstein, either--he'll, God willing, find and add those records to his collection, and owe me an apology--I, God willing, guarantee it and will, God willing, see those records myself. I know that the Czarnetzkas from Radzilow were Jewish and mishpacha, too--I am not as dumb as I look, and to group me in with those whom haven't been blessed with as much mental capacity as I have is actually an insult to them--they can't help where they are in life. I am also not a fool, although I am not wise--and the dumb are not necessarily fools, and vice versa.

Meanwhile, a cut and some bruising from when I fell when I was trying to get a copy of the Bible from a bottom shelf and had my arm land on a basket corner on the floor (and quite a bit of healing balm, lotion, etc. later), an Anti-Semitic threat on Twitter, and an upcoming HTML/CSS test, as well as brokenheartedness over quite a few news stories and other matters--all part of this night owl's day.
