"'Reform Jews' DNA"?

That's about one of the most-insulting search results that I've ever seen. Just because some Anti Messianics (including some Reform Jews), Anti Semites, Self-Hating Jews, and others choose to play games regarding Jewishness and DNA does not mean that Messianic and Non-Reform Non-Messianic Jews ought to be playing games regarding Jewishness and DNA. We do not have to sink to Jesse Straus' and others' levels.

Let them be the fools who claim that Jewishness is religious and not ethnic. Besides, of course "Judaism is a religion and not a race"! Judaism has always been the religion and Jewishness the ethnic ("racial") identity.

Two Observations To Close Out the Night

• I will never read "The Jewish Daily Forward" again. They belong right with "Tablet Magazine" among the intolerancia of the Jewish community, especially since that automatically deleted a comment just because I quoted Dr. Ya'akov S. Ariel, who said to the "Washington Jewish Week" 

“I see Messianic Jews as a legitimate group. It’s an outcome of the engagement of evangelical Christians with Jews. This is a new way for Jews who have accepted Christianity to maintain their ties with Judaism. And in the last 30 years it has become much more Jewish.” 

(The "Washington Jewish Week" is also among the intolerancia. Edith Brown was no "victim". She simply could've taken the pamphlet and read it or trashed it.)

To quote someone to make the point that some mainstream Jews actually do consider Messianic Jews as Jews is not proselytizing, much less sharing the Messianic faith (asked or unasked). I also quoted Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, by the way, to make that point.

• To take a rabbi like Rabbi David Wolpe (who questioned the historicity of the Exodus, and during—of all times—Pesach) seriously is laughable, if one wants to talk about something that is actually laughable. Hediyotot like Drs. Amy-Jill Levine and Yaakov S. Ariel are more credible than rabbonim like Rabbi Wolpe will ever be.

וזה, הוא כל ללילה הזה. לילה טוב.

#HeardWhilstDisabled and Chapelgate Presbyterian Church (And Academy)...

By the way, just in case certain people are wondering, I still remember how the supposed church of "Healing, Renewal, and Peace" could not been worse to especially those with disabilities, those who come from broken homes, and Jews (and I am a Jew who has a disability and comes from a broken home). I can recall specific examples to this very day. Also, I have nothing to hide; and just remember this: I know who God is, and He will judge righteously.

Some of the ones that are seared most into my memory are the following, and not in any particular order (I could name more, though these will suffice to be enough named—and I'm sure that I've written about others before.):

1. A certain pastor quoted the Hitler of his day—Martin Luther. Now that I chillingly think on it, there is no wonder that a man who would advocate to "sin freely" due to grace would order that one should round up Jews, burn our institutions, and murder us in the end as well. Contrary to this pastor (who, as I will later prove, is indeed like his mentor Martin Luther), grace is the opposite of a license to sin.
2. This same pastor called the Ark of the Covenant a "holy piece of furniture". The Aron HaKodesh, the Holy Ark, is the very representation of Yeshua's tomb (The kaporet represents the stone that was rolled away and the angels who announced that Yeshua was risen.)—and a pastor called such a representation "furniture"!
3. The school (Chapelgate "Christian" Academy) hired a man who supports George Soros—the man who funded the repulsive Indiana University at Bloomington study against Bill O'Reilly—and does not consider a lewd picture of a then-15-year-old Miley Cyrus to be inappropriate. I should know—I sat in that man's class and confronted him on both issues. He also, by the way, finds this parody clip funny—as if pushing a man with a disability out of a wheelchair is funny. (There is, I guarantee, a special place in Hell for that man, by the way.).
4. For later writing the truth about certain staff members at the church, one of them threatened to sue me.  Had I the chutzpah, I would publish the exact words (that is, copy and paste them here) as they were written to me. Despite that I have nothing to hide, I do not believe in giving criminals fodder (and I should have pressed charges concerning a threat of a frivolous lawsuit, given that said threat could easily fall under the category of "criminal libel or the involvement thereof"). By the way, lawsuits (especially frivolous ones) are against Christian teaching. 
5. One of the school's secretaries told me something like, "Your dad is not a nice man." Where was the "So, I did call Social Services, because now I get what's going on" word of encouragement? As far as I recall, not there. To know that she thought that my dad is not nice helped, though to not have another witness only hurt me in the long run. As faith is without works, so words are without action.

Keep in mind, by the way, that being a child of divorce and being a Jew are both considered as disabilities (aka, stigmas) in many parts of society (besides Chapelgate). I myself cannot tell you how many times I have been called a "k***", for example (In fact, I have highlighted some examples below; and I never would have looked for or at those examples again if I didn't have to do so.). Nonetheless, being a Jew is not really a disability or a stigma (despite that certain pastors and other people would like everyone to think that it is). As for being a child of divorce, that can be a stigma—partly because of people like the Chapelgaters who do not help out children of divorce or their parents who definitely could use some help.

Meanwhile, here is Martin Luther's and a certain pastor's real group of compatriots (Note that I censored the objectionable language in the comments, all of which I made sure were barred from appearing in public in their original forms.). After all, they are the ones who find Ha'Aron HaKodesh to be a "piece of furniture" and grace a license to sin:

FractalEffect777 You are one sickening looking k***. [Bleep] Jew r***

Titus Amalek [who believes that "free speech" means a license to say anything, which sounds familiar] Mocking k***s and r*****s is fun, especially when you can get two birds with one stone: a r******d k***, ie. Canavan's Syndrome, lol. [Bleep] the Afro-Asiatic m****** usurer k***s. They betrayed Spain

peter griffin [who objected to a Jewish comedian's rebuke of an ignorant heckler] +Nicole Czarnecki you must be a k*** too!!

How's that "sin freely" theology looking now, by the way? As a sidenote, "sin boldly" does mean "sin freely." Furthermore, incidentally, Luther stated "I know Satan very well. If Satan can turn God's Word upside down and pervert the Scriptures, what will he do with my words -- or the words of others?". He didn't need anyone to twist his Pseudo-Christian, Anti-Semitic words, did he (since they weren't twisted in the first place!)? I must say that the "I know..." statement was very honest on Luther's part.

Even more so, "This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist." Indeed, to know one does take one (and eventually, Luther's true colors showed—and his Anti-Semitic character broke through his Pseudo-Christian edifice—didn't it?). Also, Luther died because of his wickedness (and Wikipedia, who is Anti Christian [and especially Anti Jewish Christian] loves to use people like Martin Luther as examples of Christians).

One more thing: look up what Martin Luther thought the following of those with disabilities (and why he certainly would not have helped them get to church on Sundays).

September 11, 2014

In a few painful hours, the memorial of September 11, 2001 will occur...

לעולם שכחו ; לעולם עוד פעם. זכרו דנה פלקנברג והאחר קדושים מעונים, ז''ל והי''ד.

Quick Update

I've been busy with Reilly (and I'm still never employed!). I should have a new video tomorrow/later in the day (אם ירצה יהוה). By the way, today is September 3, 2014/ח'' בחודש השישי 5774. Incidentally, it is a week from the 13th memorial of September 11th...

לעולם שכחו ; לעולם עוד פעם. זכרו דנה פלקנברג והאחר קדושים מעונים, ז''ל והי''ד.








Also, I have a few prayer requests:

1. For Reilly. She is scheduled to get fixed on September 6th. I'm scared because I think about Darby Conley's late dog Patch, who almost died while she was under anesthesia. I also think about when I had surgery and had to have oxygen for a while after I came out of the anesthetic state that I was put in. By the way, I also think about the caffeine withdrawal. So, I'm concerned and asking for prayer about any complications that Reilly might (חס ושלום) have (לרפואה שלמה לריילי).
2. For my cousin Brodie (I do not have a Hebrew name for him. I am unsure as to whether Christina Kiefer Deboy was Jewish, and I am also unsure about her husband was Jewish (The Brauns and others may have been. They would either have been Anusim or Jewish Christians if they were Jewish. Brodie's mother is a DeBoy through her paternal grandma.). I know that his dad's Hebrew name would be Avigdor; so, ben Avigdor would work for his Hebrew name for anyone who wants to use his Hebrew name.
3. For my late cousin Joe Shaw's family, who just lost Joe's widow. I do not have a Hebrew name for her or any idea if she was Jewish. By the way, Joe's mom was a DeBoy. 
4. For a job or career for me. 
5. For my sister (Michelle)'s final year of college.
6. For more family/genealogy answers and for me to be able to make עליה.
7. For Nechama bas Mordechai v'Perl and Yisra'el ben Sh'mu'el v'Chana.
8. For the rest of us in the Diaspora, including my family in Ferguson, Missouri and in Ukraine, Russia, and vicinity. 
9. For my granduncle Tony's family (His יום השלושים was on August 28, 2014 or ב'' באלול [He died on ג'' באב 5774].)

There are other prayer requests as well. 

How A Skewed Taglit-Birthright Study Endangers Both the Jewish Community At Large And Will Taglit-Birthright's Reputation

I see plenty of issues with this study:

1) "Saxe and research associates Michelle Shain and Shahar Hecht collected data from August 6-11 via an online questionnaire, which included versions of the Pew survey questions. It was sent to eligible US Birthright Israel-Taglit candidates who had applied for a trip between summer 2011 and winter 2013/14."

There is no real "control" group. There are only Birthright applicants.

2) "Encouraged through an an opportunity to win one of two $100 Amazon.com gift cards, 1,756 young Jewish adults filled out the survey. The respondents included 1,122 who actually did go to Israel on a Birthright trip, and 634 nonparticipants."

The one group that there was, was pooled and divided unevenly. There should've been a total of either:

1.  878 Birthright travelers and 878 non travelers (still 1,756 people total, and and bringing in a control subgroup of 878 people—because, again, there was no control group; and a control group within a group does not count as a separate control group), or 
2. 1,122 travelers and 1,122 non travelers (keeping the 1,122 travelers who filled out the survey and bringing in a control subgroup). 

Either way, the surveyed ("treatment")-to-control group ratio is completely absent, let alone lacking.

3) "For the study, the Birthright applicants’ results were compared to a recent Pew survey and a Gallup poll, both of which were completed at the end of July."

The same problem regarding the subject pool and control groups is here, and data collection is also a problem here. Data from June 21, 2011-December 21, 2013 is older and more plentiful than data from July 2014, for example. Thus, there is no adequate amount of recency and amount of data to compare. In other words, the study would have been less skewed if both sets of data were from June 21, 2011-December 21, 2013; June 21, 2011-July 31, 2014; or July 31, 2014.


4) "Saxe feels the young Jews polled are a representative cross-section of young American Jews for several reasons. Primarily, bluntly, “because Birthright is free — and fun,” said Saxe, meaning the trip doesn’t only draw those who think it’s worth spending money on  a trip to Israel."

Any "representative cross-section of young American Jews" would include Messianic Jews (who are banned from applying to [and even specifically targeted for persecution by] Taglit) and others who Taglit bans .

In fact, the specific wording is in part:

"Eligible individuals are those who identify as Jewish and are recognized as such by their local community or by one of the recognized denominations of Judaism. Applicants must also have at least one Jewish birth parent, or have completed Jewish conversion through a recognized Jewish denomination. 

"*Those applying for trips leaving from the Former Soviet Union are eligible if they have at least one Jewish birth grandparent. The accuracy of information pertaining to the heritage of an applicant for a trip leaving from the Former Soviet Union is also verified by a local Consul before an applicant is considered eligible."

This on an international level alone would single out Karaites (who Rabbinate Judaism often slanders) and many other Jews, including Lemba Jews (who go by Patrilineal Descent and are mostly Messianic— despite that most sources try to separate them from the Jewish community at large because they "are Christian" [as if Christianity is not Jewish], etc..). Therefore, this certainly would not allow for just a "representative cross-section of young American Jews".

5) "Saxe said his team has analyzed the backgrounds of those who responded and the profiling is in context with last year’s massive Pew survey study of American Jews. The years of Jewish education, day school all look just about the same, he said, noting one slight difference — Birthright draws a lower proportion of children from intermarriages."

This skews the study as well. The "cross-section" are mostly Rabbinically-Jewish Rabbinical Jews (with a Rabbincally-Jewish Rabbincal Jew being a Jew who has at least one Matrilineally-Jewish parent "[and/]or have completed Jewish conversion through a recognized Jewish denomination".

([Do not kid yourself; Taglit would not look twice at Jews whose family was raised outside of a Rabbinate shul for two or more generations. In other words, for instance, Isaac Kaganowicz would not be considered a Rabbincally-Jewish Rabbincal Jew if both of his parents were Atheistically-raised Jews who were raising Issac in the same way that their parents raised them.)

"Since Taglit was founded in December 1999, annually some 20-25% of candidates have had no prior involvement in Jewish life, said Saxe. “The great piece of Taglit is that it levels the playing field,” said Saxe."

They do go to shul, though. In fact, I had a peer at UMBC who is an Atheist and whose family goes to a Reform shul. So, the "20-25% of candidates" have either parents and/or grandparents who at least go to shul.

6) "Pew doesn’t consider many of the people who went on Taglit to be Jewish because they don’t call themselves Jewish by religion, rather by parentage. “They might not count themselves as Jews until they go on Birthright,” added Saxe."

The Pew data also skews the study.

In other words, the Taglit study (which is called a "Brandeis University" study) is flawed and both dangerous to the Jewish community at large (who, for example, loses numbers according to Taglit-Pew-Saxe standards) and Taglit Birthright itself (and Taglit Birthright has had trouble in the past).

Confession: I Can Be Self Hating (And/Or Unnecessarily Guilt Tripped), Too

Admittedly, the disgusting part is that I look like a szlachta posing like this. I suppose that if there was a portrait of a szlachta żydowska, I could get away with this (and there apparently were some Morgiewiczes who were szlachty [if they're Morgiewiczes who are related to us, I mean]; and given that they were targeted in the January Uprising, they probably are. If you think that the Russians didn't like Polish and other Non-Russian szlachty [much less Poles and other Non Russians], you can imagine how they treated szlachty żydowscy as well as Yehudim ha'aretz).



That's the only part that I'm honestly not proud of (unless, again, a szlachta żydowska posed like this. Otherwise, I've touched my own nerve here; especially since my family was deliberately falsely connected to the Anti-Semitic Stefan Czarniecki, and the sad part is that we did that in order to conceal that we are Litvak Czernieckis.

(Granted that there were also Philosemitic szlatchy [and szlachty żydowscy]. Still, I feel pretty bad about posing like this, especially if I was bringing to mind Anti Semites like the unfortunately-iconic Stefan Czarniecki. Then again, my OCD/GAD could be bringing on or exacerbating unnecessary guilt about this photo.).
