Our Pious Saviors!

Our Pious Saviors!
by Asher Meza
A society is not built solely on ideology, but off the backs of determined individuals who through the work of their hands make their G-d and religion prevalent to all.

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 .
