Where have all the Cowboys Gone?
Judaism boasts a highly educated constituency; Judaic religious scholars are by far the most devoted and hyper educated Theologians today.
However, where their learning becomes nullified is in the area of masculinity.
Judaism without the masculine assertive component becomes useless in a world that is ruled by hedonism.

Jewish History is scattered with individuals who put their lives on the line for the greater good of Torah.
These were men who not only forged a kingdom out of stone, but fought and died for their Holy Laws.
They were men who knew and understood that one could not be truly pious without first being a good:
Husband, Father and Soldier.

Whatever happened to men like King David, Judah HaMaccabee or Bar Kochba?
Concepts of Honor, Pride and Martyrdom are unknown in the modern Jewish Lexicon.
Although, those of us who are familiar with Jewish history know that it wasn’t always so.

This essay is not to impugn all Religious Jews with this label, but the vast majority of them.

It’s going to be a bumpy ride!

The emasculated Charedi Jews currently have the highest birthrate in the Jewish world today.
Jews unknowingly applaud this as some sort of achievement and or solution in battling the Moslem threat within and in the surrounding biblical borders.
If you are not familiar with the lifestyles of most of our Charedi brothers let me give you a quick introduction!

The vast majority of Charedi men in Israel do not work for a living and rather send their wives to labor and provide for the family.
They do not serve in Military units or even volunteer for national service.

They reproduce well past the budgets they can afford and then pass the bill over to their Government (tax payers) to supply them financially for each child.
Israeli citizens should not be forced to hand over hard earned money to someone else’s family.

Generally, Charedi Boys are not taught secular studies such as Math and History past the 7th grade.
By contrast, the girls are amply prepared to enter the workforce.

Charedi boys are bred for a life of ample learning in the yeshiva, only to repeat the sins their father’s committed.

How does this affect us?

As citizens of the democratic State of Israel, we understand that numbers and necessity means higher taxes and more handouts.

Only because Charedi Jews do not contribute to Israeli society doesn’t mean you won’t find them at the poll booth.

Charedi Jews have their own political parties who fight tooth and nail on a daily basis for the welfare benefits of their unemployed continuance.

This is a new phenomenon in the Jewish world. Those who remain in the classroom their whole lives never grow up. The study of Torah is important but it must be balanced with other crucial activities in a Jewish person’s life.

Ethics of our fathers teaches;
He would also say: Five years is the age for the study of Scripture. Ten, for the study of Mishnah. Thirteen, for the obligation to observe the mitzvot. Fifteen, for the study of Talmud. Eighteen, for marriage. Twenty, to pursue [a livelihood]. Thirty, for strength, Forty, for understanding. Fifty, for counsel. Sixty, for sagacity. Seventy, for elderliness. Eighty, for power. Ninety, to stoop. A hundred-year-old is as one who has died and passed away and has been negated from the world.

This ridicules concept of men not being socially productive and learning all day is not a biblical Jewish one.
All our great sages had some sort of employment besides learning Torah; shouldn’t we try to emulate them?

The problem is that the religious Israeli community continues to be lead by these types of people. Such people, men who do not provide for their families and encourage others to do the same are venerated by countless believers who are productive.

Birth Rates in Israel.

Arab Women in Israel 4.7 children
Jews have 2.6
Arab women in the West Bank and Gaza 7.6
Charedi women 4.7

So when you hear that Jews are making tremendous strides because of our huge birthrates in places such as Meir Shearim and Bnei Brak, ask yourself if that’s the type of birth rate that will help or utterly hurt the Jewish People .

1. Seeking others (Loving our neighbor)

A) Jews should seek out new Believers among the Gentiles to ultimately inspire them to become full Jews, showing them that what we hold as dear and beneficial for us is also good for them.
If we fail to do this, Non Jews will simply go elsewhere and most likely adopt anti-Semitic views.
So what do you do?
Well, by simply inviting non Jews over for a Shabbat meal or family religious event we can be a light to people who otherwise would not have known our G-d and his Torah.

2. The Islamic threat (offer them Judaism)
Jews should Confront Islamists with a true Biblical Jewish message and not rely on secular diplomatic appeasement.
Those who are lead by our G-d’s holy law know that the only way to combat bad religion is with good religion. With this attempt, Successful or not, we give the Moslem radicals an alternative to their ways.

3. Build Judaism’s Moral Bank account in the community
A) Every Synagogue should be involved in programs for their cities working poor and homeless, Jewish or not.
B) Jews should also instruct their cities youth, Jewish or not, on the importance of modesty, abstinence and courtship. By doing this Religious Jews can reduce some of the animosity directed toward them and Judaism within their community.

4. Religious Jews should enter the political sphere and speak to Jews and Non Jews about issues that affect us today from a Torah perspective

A) Jews should be more vocal about True Jewish opinions about abortion, and should also join with Christians in protesting outside abortion clinics.

B) Jews should be more vocal about biblical views on Gay Marriage and how the lifestyle is an abomination.

5. Jews should make amends.
A) Jews should be vocal in disassociating themselves with the Jewish secular element.
We should let the world know that unlike within Christianity and Islam there is a Secular element within our people. We should let the world know that Secular Jews are Jews by coincidence and the way they behave does not speak for the Biblical Nation of Israel and or their G-d. A huge problem is that the average non Jew can not tell a religious Jew apart from the Secular Jew, and thus the religious and Judaism get stigmatized with secular Jewish labels.

B) Religious Jews should apologize for the sins committed by their secular brothers, be it Communism, Abortion, Liberalism, feminism, Homosexuality and the rest, just as Christians who have apologized for their sins.
How so? Like this:
I being a Jew apologize here and now for the Sins my secular brothers have committed.
I apologize for Bolshevism, Abortion, liberalism, Feminism, and any other destructive ism’s that secular Jews have either disproportionally condoned or founded.
I apologize to the Moslem and Christian for the Jews that permitted a Homosexual parade down the Streets of Jerusalem, a city which we all consider sacred.
I sincerely ask for your forgiveness.
May the G-d of Israel empower us to burn the evil from amongst our Midst.
That wasn’t so hard was it?

Don’t be a Noachide, Be Jewish. By Asher Meza

The simple fact that any non Jew through conversion could become a full Jew means that being a Ben/Bat Noach is not the highest attainable level available to non Jews.
So I am here to encourage you to reach higher.
In that spirit Jews should not offer anything less than the full fellowship we enjoy with the creator to others, just like we did in the past.

I will try to explain:
1. Why the term Noachide was never meant to be a permanent status by those who had the ability to become full Jews.
2. How the concept was actually created as a yoke for non Jewish travelers in Israel, and as a brand that the Nations of this world will wear during the times of Moshiach when conversion will cease.

What is a Noachide?
Often called “B’nei Noah” (Children of Noah) or “Noahides,” they are people who adhere to a set of seven laws which, according to the Talmud, were given by G-d to Noah as a binding for all humanity. This belief teaches that any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile and is assured a place in the world to come.
The seven laws listed by the Talmud are the:
1. Prohibition against Idolatry: You shall not have any idols before God.
2. Prohibition against Murder: You shall not murder. (Genesis 9:6)
3. Prohibition against Theft: You shall not steal.
4. Prohibition against Sexual immorality: You shall not commit adultery.
5. Prohibition against Blasphemy: You shall not blaspheme G-d’s name.
6. Prohibition against Cruelty to Animals: Do not eat flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive. (Genesis 9:4)
7. Requirement to have just Laws: You shall set up effective Courts of Justice to enforce the preceding six laws fairly.
If you read the 7 laws carefully you will realize that they failed to mention that Noachides above all, must initially submit to Rabbinic Law first and foremost to even know that these 7 laws exist and are binding. This is because the concept of being a Noachide or even the existence of the Sheva Mitvos (Seven Laws) does appear in Biblical sources.

Also being that there are Rabbinic prohibitions against non Jews reading Rabbinic writings, the idea that non Jews would embrace the 7 Mitzvas and be satisfied is difficult to ponder.

Can one imagine how a Rabbi could possibly present these laws in an enthusiastic way to a non Jew which would make him leave his current beliefs.

Therefore, ideally the only possible way to increase or even maintain the number of Noahides is by enacting Judicial edicts like those for Gerim Toshavim (Resident Aliens), which non Jews adopted as temporary oaths while living in the Holy land (Avodah Zarah 64b). The other, as I mentioned, would be as a brand on the Nations who failed to acknowledge the Oneness of Israel’s G-d during the days of the Messiah (Zechariah 14:16).

Who ever said it was hard to be Jewish didn’t think about being a Noachide.
When Noachides study scripture they have to acknowledge that about 98% of all the promises and blessings found in the Tanack do not apply to them.
Furthermore, Noachides even have to consult with a Rabbi to inquire on those that do.
Honestly, who would want to become a Noachide when they can become a full Jew?

Noachides are Second Class citizens in the Kingdom.

How So:
They are not counted in the Jewish Prayer Minyan.
No Jew would have their children marry them.
Biblically, Jews can’t eat with them.
Jews must charge them interest on Loans.
For those familiar with Talmudic edicts on all non Jews, you know the list goes on and on.

So why all the confusion?
The erroneous idea of modern Noachideship stems from a neo-rabbinic belief that Jews never sought Gentiles for conversion.

With the horrendous history of Jewish suffering we really should sympathize with those Rabbis.

The Truth is that Judaism used to seek converts.

Why would a nation that sought converts in the past be interested in having non Jews remain Noachides?

Why was Israel Given the Torah.
G-d, not being a respecter of Men, gave Israel the Torah so that they might spread it.
To be a light unto the nations.
Only Torah ultimately can perfect the world.
G-d would not have given his moral blue print for global restoration to a people he knew would not try to spread it.

For that very reason the Torah begins with creation, not revelation. The first Man created was not Jewish. The creator was concerned with the morality of all people.

So if you are hungry for a more intense journey with our creator don’t limit yourself to just 7, but reach for his full Torah.

Spirituality: Destruction from Within. By Asher Meza

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 16:25)
In this article you can use the words Mysticism, Kabbalah and Spirituality interchangeably.

Spirituality is present in almost every aspect of Jewish life. From the blessings we recite, to the Holidays we keep and even the types clothing we wear, spirituality is used to justify an array of modern day Jewish practices.
However, can Spirituality be a danger in disguise? Claiming to bind us with the infinite but actually separating us from the biblical?
I will confront the issue; “does spirituality make you a better individual?

Before religious Jews commit themselves to a ritual, he or she must first ask themselves:
1. What are its Origins (Biblical or Not)?
2. Does it improve my relationship with others?
3. Does it improve my Relationship with G-d?
4. Does it ultimately make the world a better place (Tikkun Olam)?

It’s Origins.

The earliest possible form of kabbalah was practiced by the Essenes found in the area of the Dead Sea around 500 BCE to about 200 BCE. These celibate mystics believed in the power of personal vision and prophetic gifts. They practiced astrology; divination simple forms of magic and other Persian influenced beliefs as well as what has come to be known as Merkava Mysticism. They believed that through their practices they could reach the very throne of God.

The reader should be aware that there is no biblical word for what we call spirituality.

What is Spirituality good for?

From a biblical standpoint Spirituality has been absent through the most significant parts of Jewish history and yet the Jewish and even non Jewish people regard it as a precept of the faith.

How is Spirituality harmful?
To be Spiritual is to look within. The Torah teaches to look outside of ourselves.
It is to look for deeper meanings in traditional interpretations, through this method, almost any teaching that one desires could be “found” in Scripture.
It is relying on the irrational to solve problems rather than ambitious actions.
It attempts to force the hand of G-d, making him act out of season.
It places belief in Amulets and phrases rather than Morality and ethics.

Jewish Mysticism today.

The modern day Jewish Mystical experience is not self sustaining as a movement, clearly seen by those who live it in the Jewish world today.
These men put all their responsibilities on the shoulders of a coming Messiah, who would ultimately bail them out.

These Individuals usually live off Charity or in the case of the Neo Jewish Mystic, which can not be told apart from their Hippie counterpart, put no significance on the external but live insular lives.

Common Mystical Jewish Practices
Followers commonly believe that drinking mystical water can cure cancer or that the wearing of the red string bracelet protects against the evil eye.

Particularly important to Modern day followers is the uttering of forbidden names of various angels or even, at the ultimate, the unmentionable name of G-d. The use of language is extended to various formulas and the manipulation of words – very much like magical spells.
One area that sets them apart from Biblical Jews is the deep, almost pagan veneration of the dead. This is displayed by the practice of praying at Grave sites and in the lighting of candles for the dead.

Does it improve my relationship with others?
Most Synagogue attendees can attest to certain a-social behaviors that those who claim to be spiritually inclined perform.
Such As:
The yelling out during prayers.
The jumping up and down.
Dressing in uncommon outfits.
The dancing around in circles.
And the additional radical rituals adopted into the service.

We were placed on earth to make it a better place, not to rise above it.
The trap of becoming too heavenly good that we are no Earthly good is the path that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
We must view life not as a spiritual quest but rather as an attempt to better it for others, through acts of goodness will we truly see the face of G-d.

Israel grants permission for gay Palestinian to join lover in Tel Aviv

By Asher Meza

“Israel has granted a Palestinian a rare residency permit after the man, who is gay, said his sexuality put his life in danger in the West Bank, a
Defense Ministry official said Tuesday.”

3 Days ago we reported how Sudanese Christians were returned to their captors after reaching the State of Israel.
Today we hear of an Arab who is given residency in Israel so that he can continue his homosexual affair with his Israeli lover.
Why don’t we see religious Jews putting bombs at their doorsteps like they did two days ago at the Home of a Christian missionary in Ariel?

Because the Religious in the State have no spine!

Israeli values are twisted.

Religious Jews should tell the world they do not count Secular Jews as members of their G-d’s chosen.

The secular Israeli is a Cancer who is eating away at the Holiness of the Land.

This is the same Secular that used to steal infants born to religious mothers and farm them out to Secular kibbutzim just to decimate the Israeli religious population.

The same scum that created Marxism to abolish all world religion.

The same secular who claim they are chosen people, however, not by the G-d they don’t believe in, but by ethnic blood which makes them superior to all.

This is just another reminder how the State of Israel is not a Jewish State.

Let’s not mock the True G-d by saying that his Chosen people behave this way.
So why does the anti religious in Israel claim that it is a Jewish State?
The Secular claim Israel to be a Jewish state first to fool and pacify world opinion to allow its existence as a form of reparation for the Holocaust, and secondly, to fool Religious Jews worldwide into a Guilt submission which forces them to support the state financially.

As long as Israel is more preoccupied in fulfilling secular agendas than adhering to Biblical standards of morality it will never see peace within its borders.

German Group ˜Hosts Head Lice as Art in Israeli Museum
“Art is no longer just a painting on the wall,” Milana Gitzin-Adiram, chief curator of the Museum of Bat Yam near Tel Aviv, told Reuters. “Art is life, life is art.”

One of the gravest sins ever committed in Religious Jewish history has been the failure of striping atheistic trashy Jews of their Jewish title.

Whether it’s Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues, Hugh Heffner’s Playboy, Gloria Steinem’s Pro abortion rants, Al Goldstein’s Screw Magazine, Karl Marx’s Communist manifesto, Betty Freidan’s Feminine Mystique, Philip Roth’s Accumulated Trash. Howard Zinn’s History Books. Howard Stern’s Radio Show, Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s Supreme Court rulings, Richard Dawkin’s Anti G-d perspective and on and on. The world could easily say they have had enough with Jews.

Jews must attempt to preserve Judaism, by eliminating the secular vermin in their mist.

The reason that non Jews sympathize with the suffering of Jews worldwide is mainly because they believe that current day Jews embody the values of biblical characters who gave birth to Christianity’s Messiah, who by the grace of G-d walk out of slavery in Egypt, who fought the Greeks in Modin and stood against the Romans at Masada.
What happened to the Jew?

There is only one answer to this theological dilemma.

Jews should be able to loose their Jewishness?

It is absurd to believe that G-d would consider those who publicly declare their atheistic principles still Jewish only because he or she happened to be born from a Jewish parent.

Biblically children born to Religious Jewish women where given a status of a Jew because the education of the child was administered by the woman at home with the Husband participating when he was not at work.

However, when a Jewish child decides that he no longer wants to observe the precepts of the religion, he is not considered a member of the community and is removed from the community.

Biblical Examples:
Yakov and Esav were born to Hebrew parents and were even twins.
There was absolutely nothing separating the two genetically.
The only difference is that Yakov held on to the belief system of his grandfather Abraham and birthed the nation of Israel.
And Esav dissociated himself from the belief system and created the nation of Edom.

The Hagadah
It was G-d himself who told Moses to tell Pharaoh “Let my People Go’ds.
The commentaries tell us that many Hebrew descendants died during the Passover in Egypt, why? Because they weren’t adhering to the belief system handed down by Abraham.

That is why during the Passover Sedar, according to the Hagadah, we tell the evil son that if he was in Egypt he would not have been redeemed (released)
Why? Because G-d doesn’t consider enemies of Judeo biblical decencies members of his people. In other words G-d is not concerned with who your mother was but rather what you believe, which will ultimately dictate how you behave.

Numbers 15:22-31

22 ” ˜Now if you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses- 23 any of the LORD’s commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come- 24 and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering. 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have brought to the LORD for their wrong an offering made by fire and a sin offering. 26 The whole Israelite community and the aliens living among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.
27 “˜But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. 28 The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien.
30 ” ˜But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people. 31 Because he has despised the LORD’s word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.

Isaiah 48:18-20
If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”

Biblical Sources: The Torah translates the word Cut (Heb. Karet) to mean just that, “Cut” unlike many Talmudic sources which claim that word to has an ulterior meaning of “a heavenly mediate punishment of possible premature death which has been the mainstream interpretation of the word in Orthodox Judaism.

Take my land! Please!..

By Asher Meza 4/27/2008

Netanyahu: PM promised Golan to Syria before talks ever began!. Olmert: Hurling the accusations back at Netanyahu, saying “to refresh Mr. Netanyahu’s memory, it was he who sent then Syrian President Hafez Assad, an American businessman to relinquish the Golan Heights in Israel’s name, before any negotiations had begun.”

The prime minister’s bureau widened its denunciation of Netanyahu to include the Palestinian issue, saying “Mr. Netanyahu also gave up the [West Bank] city of Hebron, and offered [Yasser] Arafat, whom he called a ‘friend’, large parts of Judea and Samaria at the Wye Conference. Netanyahu is not the man who can teach Israel’s government what responsibility and good judgment are.” By Haaretz

This is the daily scenario that occurs between Jewish leaders in the Land promised to Abraham and his descendents!
It is an anti-Semitic liable when the world assumes that Israeli Jews are intelligent,
They not only cannot tell a friend from a foe, but are actually willing to release biblical Jewish Land that was purchased in both 67 and 73 with Jewish Blood to Moslems who would easily cut their throat and throw them down a well.
The world should not forget that after the 1973 Yom Kippur war Israel already returned a sizable portion of the Golan Heights to Syria, however our Shiite neighbors to the East want more.

Due to the current Middle East Nuclear arms race Israel does not understand that any land bargained for peace now would be completely lost when treaties are broken later.
In a time when its neighbors are scrambling to achieve nuclear weapons, the last thing Israel should be doing is giving away its northern buffer zone, which later could be used to slow down an attack coming from the north.

When Syria finally attains nuclear weapons there is no hope of ever acquiring this sacred land back when agreements are not met!, Nor would the Liberals in the UN allow it.
It is true they have never stood up to true evil in the past, but in a historic show of force they would get the world’s nuclear powers to point there missiles at tiny Israel before they let the so-called Jewish State acquire any more land.

G-d’s confused nation.

Israel first convinced the world that it must give away the West Bank & Gaza due to its huge Moslem Population, however the Golan does not have this problem, even more, this land was officially annexed by the State making it Israel’s forever. Non the less this does not stop the Secular vermin in the Knesset who are dying to become the Neville Chamberlain’s of our time by dismantling the tiny State bit by bit.

Syria will receive the Golan without firing a shot, giving Hezbollah a strategic locale for future attacks on Israel, unless we cleanse the land of the Secular Enemy Within who seeks to destroy it.

“Israel’s security forces will be tasked with sending African refugees who infiltrate into the country back to Egypt, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told senior cabinet ministers at the conclusion of a follow-up consultation on the issue held in Jerusalem on Sunday”

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shine” Isaiah 9:2
