Is "Rosh HaShanah" Really Rosh HaShanah?

As Nehemiah Gordon explains on his website, today is actually Ha'Erev Teru'ah, not Rosh HaShanah. Firstly, Aviv (Nisan) begins HaShanah Chadashah whereas the "rabbis" (according to Hebrew4Christians) inverted "B'reshit" to mean "B'Chodesh l'Tishri" and make HaShanah Chadashah seem to begin in Tishri. Secondly, HaChodesh L'Tishri is to be sighted on the night of September 17, 2012 whereas the Chodesh L'Elul was cited August 19, 2012--viz., the day is presently Ha'Erev Teru'ah 5772, not Rosh HaShanah 5773.

Nonetheless, as I shared on Facebook:

In other words, today's actually 'Erev Teru'ah and tomorrow is Yom Teru'ah 5772 (if Nehemia Gordon cites HaChodesh l'Tishri). Nonetheless, L'Shanah Tovah to those who want to get a head start on Yom Teru'ah or what I call "Rosh-HaShanah l'Kesef"--viz. the Fiscal New Year--5773.

I should have said "sighted", but a sighting cannot be confirmed without a citing. Anyway, L'Erev Teru'ah v'Erev HaShanah L'Kesef Tovah--and for those who are getting a head start, L'Shanah (L'Kesef) Tovah.

Part 15 of My Stage32 Submission

Where I last left off, I was relating the current Great Depression ("Recession") and the Pearl Harbor murders to the First Great Depression and the 9/11 attacks. Looking over some of what else I have written down as well, I am still trying to find a point where to restart writing--thus, I will jump forward to Great-Grandma Czarnecki's murder. Her murder will become important when I jump back to how Pop-Pop treated others.

I have written extensively about this. By the way, Pop-Pop would have gone after me if none of what I wrote down is true. Besides, I only received an e-mail which stated that my 93-year-old great-grandmother died--which indicated nothing unusual or out of the ordinary. I was not there to see firsthand what really happened--Aunt Mary was. In short, Aunt Mary saw second-degree, murder-malice-theory murder and Social Security Fraud happen.

You can judge for yourself, but here is what I wrote to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and what the AG's office forwarded to the Luzerne County District Attorney:

"To Whom It May Concern:     

    I have decided to contact the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, Criminal Prosecutions Section per the February 12, 2007 death of Mary M. Trudnak Czarnecki. I am requesting an investigation into the death of the late Mrs. Czarnecki because I believe that for over three years, her son John "Jack" Gregory Czarnecki caused Mrs. Czarnecki (his mother) to die in the circumstances and situation in which he should have been immediately investigated at minimum for third- or second-degree murder/homicide with implied murder-malice theory, and a maximum of second- or first-degree murder/homicide with malicious intent.

    I understand the circumstances of Mrs. Czarnecki's death to have been mainly or solely caused by Mr. Jack Czarnecki (who, at the time, was given Power of Attorney over her), and have been told of the circumstances by a reliable and direct eyewitness-earwitness to the crime. The witness (and I am asking that for the time being, her name be protected. Anyway, the witness) is Mary Czarnecki Miskell; who was frequently with Mrs. Czarnecki at the time of Mrs. Czarnecki's death, at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.

    The situation concerning Mrs. Czarnecki's death began when Mrs. Czarnecki was, during an illness of gangrene, transported to Wilkes-Barre Hospital due to Mr. Jack Czarnecki's desire to rid her from his residence as she was dying and he had other plans besides looking after his ailing mother. As I summarize the situation for the time being as I understand it, Mrs. Czarnecki, 93, knew that she was dying and wanted to pass away at her son's Millersville, Anne Arundel County, Maryland home; but Mr. Czarnecki (70 at the time, now to be 74 on May 25, 2010), wanting to travel to Las Vegas and not honor the wishes of his mother, arranged to have her transported to Wilkes Barre General.

    At the hospital, Mrs. Czarnecki gave the delegation of Power of Attorney over her to Mr. James "Jim" Julian Czarnecki, Sr.. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Mr. Jim Czarnecki could not retain his delegation as Power of Attorney for his mother; and his brother Jack thus took over the delegation. Mr. Jack Czarnecki then arranged that his mother would have a surgery to have Mrs. Czarnecki's gangrene-infected limb (specifically, one of her legs) amputated and post-surgically discarded. Mrs. Czarnecki, obviously given the position that she was in, consented to the surgery but had to fight to have her amputated leg not discarded (since she intended to have the leg buried with her when she passed away).

    Mrs. Czarnecki, as aforementioned, passed away due to gangrene on February 12, 2007 at Wilkes Barre General Hospital.

    I am hoping, therefore, that the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, Criminal Prosecutions Section investigates the death of Mrs. Czarnecki and the circumstances of what I believe was the murder of Mrs. Czarnecki by her son Jack Czarnecki as soon as possible. I have notified the witness aforementioned, Mary Czarnecki Miskell, that I have made the request of an investigation to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office; and will (if and as necessary) either have Mary Miskell contact the party or parties to be involved in the prosecution of Mr. Czarnecki, or (with and only with her permission) provide her contact information to the aforementioned parties. Thank you for your time and work in seeking justice for Mary M. Trudnak Czarnecki...."

Here is the Social Security Death Record Index for proof of Social Security fraud--which I forgot to mention in the first letter--, by the way (I've since--to no avail--tried to get the case reopened.):

Name:	Mary Czarnecki
Last Residence:	21108  Millersville, Anne Arundel, Maryland
Born:	28 Jul 1913

Was Aunt Mary when I decided to write the letter? Absolutely not! She was afraid of Pop-Pop and she did not want any more trouble--but trouble did come when Pop-Pop, proving himself all the more guilty, called Aunt Mary's then husband--now ex husband--at his then workplace to yell at him after the Luzerne County District Attorney's Office called him.

By the way, I had no clue that Great-Grandma's middle name was "Theresa". Here is the obituary that Pop-Pop wrote for her (By the way, she had no great-great-grandchildren at that time--Dad's stepgranddaughter does not count as her great-great-granddaughter.):

I Expect To Get Belittled and Persecuted, And...

I'll only stand up in a fight-back kind of way when necessary. Otherwise, I'll turn the other cheek. I can hold my own--after all, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13) While I might care about what you believe (since I don't want to say "I don't care what you believe", because I do care), there's nothing that I can do about what you believe--I've brought up 1 Corinthians 3:5-8. However, I care about when you're proselytizing and persecuting others.

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer stated:



Even though I am a Messianic Jew, I intend to follow the example of the ger tzedek Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Update: When I saw this picture on Facebook, I had to explain:

It takes a different meaning for me--at least for this week. As a Messianic Jew, I was pretty persecuted. Not a few days later did I find a disturbing search result on my blog that indicates that Messianic Jews are being silenced at where I was persecuted. If only more people would speak up, that certain persecutor couldn't persecute us.

I'll Stay On The Threads, And...

I wanted to apologize for the way that I handled the situation re "Rabbi" Jason. While I'm leaving up the old post for reference, I do want to say that I let my nerves get too hit. I guess that I just don't like the intra-community persecution, especially from a "rabbi" who heads UMBC Hillel, doesn't believe in a Mashiach (when Tanakh presents the concept of a Mashiach--and especially Maimonides to present-day Jewish [Messianic and Non-Messianic Jewish] scholars codify the concept of a Mashiach), and apparently has made other Messianic Jews on campus feel uncomfortable (As I said, I don't like the search result "find messianic jews umbc"--that indicates to me that we either feel like we have to be silent on campus, or there's even a witch hunt going on.). If a Non-Messianic Jew without any kind of authority had persecuted me and/or someone else, I or we could blow the persecution off. But I'm talking about the "Rabbi" of UMBC Hillel with whom I chose to share that I'm Messianic and that I wouldn't proselytize.

Also, as far as Erik goes, I just used Erik as an example of a controversial topic in of himself--not to persecute or boogeyman him. Therefore, I'm just going to bury his comments--they're not worth reading or dignifying with a response.

Who I Am And Why I Stay Off Of the UMBC Threads

Let me state that, in full and unequivocal disclosure, I am a non-proselytizing type of Messianic Jewish Protestant of the (for a lack of better termage) Evangelical ("fundamentalist") strain. I'm also a conservative Republican. As far as I can read, the Bible tells me:
"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. ⁷ So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. ⁸ Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor."
Now, firstly, do I care if you even believe in a Mashiach or Messiah? Yes; but what can I do about it? Do I, however, care if you persecute me and other Messianic Jews for believing in the Biblical and historical Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah? Yes. After all, we who are Messianic Jews at least believe in a Jewish man as Mashiach--and the concept of Mashiach is both in Tanakhand codified all the way from Maimonides to the present.
As for gentile Christians, I don't encourage persecuting them, either--nonetheless, you probably expect gentiles to be Christians and thus won't persecute them like some of you may be prone to persecute "meshumadim" and "koferim" like me. By the way, I am--as far as I can tell--well educated enough in my dad's people's history, etc. to know that I am considered a heretical apostate, soul stealer and destroyer, etc. by many--I've even been on the end of persecution, even by "Rabbi" Jason Klein (and I'll still keep "out[ing] [my]self", thank you; and to not eventually disclose that I am Messianic would've been as dishonest as stating that Jews For Jesus causes "havoc" and that--albeit implicitly as it was stated that--I am not Jewish. Again, by the way, I at least believe in the 12th Priniciple of Maimonides and a concept in Tanakh.).
By the way, I want to let Messianic Jews like myself know that we don't have to stay silent on campus--as long as we don't truly proselytize (which, according to Webster, is forcing, bribing, or otherwise coercively inducing conversion of any nature), we are okay. We can even share our faith if asked--that is not forcing, bribing, or inducing conversion (See Webster and 1 Corinthians 3:5-8). I apologize for not being more public about being persecuted when I chose to disclose that I'm a Mesianic Jew who promises not to proselytize--after all, I don't want people looking for "find messianic jews umbc" (as my FeedJit showed). I don't want Messianic Jews to feel forced into silence or even (G-d forbid that we'd be) witch hunted on campus. The same goes for other groups, by the way: as long as you're not proselytizing or persecuting anybody, laissez-faire. 
Especially given all of that and other factors, I know to stay away from these threads. Besides being at risk for being persecuted (including being accused of being a proselytizing, soul-stealing Nazi who's trying to destroy the Jewish people by converting everyone to Christianity in the way that my great-great-grandparents were converted into Roman Catholicism during the pogroms), I want to stay away from contentious and unnecessary debates about topics including--but not limited to--same-gender marriage, abortion, and Erik Walker.
In conclusion, you know who I am, where I stand, and that I'll let you be if you let me be. L'shalom tikatevu. 

In Case Wikipedia Deletes This...

Here's what Messianic Jews and gentile Christians alike have failed to take up in regards to Messianic prophecy--in other words, I (as far as I know) am the only Messianic Jew taking this up:

Psalm 112

Ironically, Messianic Jews and gentile Christians alike have failed to take up the following:

"Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor. 10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish."(NKJV)

Messianic Jews and Christians could easily argue that the psalm states, for example, "his righteousness endures forever", not "will endure forever", meaning that only God could fit the description of the one whose "righteousness endures forever." Furthermore, for instance, verse 2 ("His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed") could be connected to zerah (i.e., "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.") in Isaiah 53:10.

Therefore, especially in connecting Psalm 112 to Isaiah 53, one could argue that only Jesus fits the description of the Messiah. Furthermore, in light of that Messiah has to be God, one could connect Psalm 112 to Isaiah 43:11 ^[32] and Isaiah 45:21^[33].

By the way, be forewarned: if I did any more editing, I'd have to weed out much of the Anti-Messianic bias. 

UMBC, Messianic Jews Are Out There...

Keep looking. You'll find us--me, my sister, and so many others. By the way, don't be afraid: only meshumadim v'koferim (heretics and apostates) like "Rabbi" Jason Klein--the same Non-Messianic, Reconstructionist clergyman who implicity accused me of proselytizing for merely mentioning that I'm Messianic--will try to shut us up. I can assure you that you needn't worry about meshumadim who don't even believe in a personal Mashiach--since Reconstructionists don't. Most of the Non-Messianic Jews who I've met here are--even if they don't believe in a Mashiach--understand and will tolerate those who do. After all, a concept of a Mashiach is in Tanakh--which even our persecutors like Rev. Klein can't escape. If Rev. Klein gives you tsores, by the way, you tell him what I should have told him when I "out[ed] [my]self" as a Messianic Jew: "At least I believe in a Mashiach, and that a Jewish man is HaMashiach."

As a Messianic Jew, I am telling you to be unafraid to speak out--chazak v'amatz tov.
