Every month: 2000 illegal Africans infiltrate into Israel

B”H

Every month, another 2000 illegal Africans stream into Israel. They settle in Eilat, the small Negev town Arad, in Ashdod and especially in Tel Aviv - South where they work illegally. Those who know the situation at Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station are nothing but disgusted. The area rather looks like the Philippines or Africa but not like Israel. 
2000 illegal Africans every month and Israel sees its Jewish identity in danger. Furthermore, most of those Africans are criminals and the Israeli police admits that the crime rate in Tel Aviv has risen drastically. Sudanese, Nigerians, Ghana, people from Eritrea or Kenia. You name it.


African drug dealers, pimps, thieves and even murderers. The Israeli neighbours are afraid to go out at night and at least two people have been killed. A Sudanese killed an elderly Israeli woman from Tel Aviv - South. Another illegal African killed his wife just a few months ago. Where ? In Tel Aviv - South. 


The police don't have the staff to deal with the new problems and the government is building a wall near the Egyptian border. However, every single day, the Africans keep on infiltrating into Israel via Egypt. Most Israelis have enough of the situation and want the illegals deported. No other country in the world is letting illegals settling and even providing their children with a citizenship. Lets take a daily Israeli example:
Almost every Philippina in this country either has at least one child or is pregnant because a child may give her the right to stay in the country. The same with the Africans.

Just recently, 150 Africans were deported back to their country of origin. Not only deported but our police asked for their permission. Moreover, those illegals received 400 - 500 dollar cash each. There goes our tax money. For a bunch of African illegal criminals. This is how our government spends our money. Can you imagine the United States doing so with the Mexican illegals ?


Israel has to maintain its Jewish identity and doesn't need thousands of Gentiles who have no interest in our country whatsoever besides money and social benefits. Escaping poverty is no excuse for endangering the Jewish state because we are no cheap and uneducated foreign legion.

The origin of Herod (Hordos)

B”H

The true origin of Herod (Hebrew: Hordos) is quite controversial. There are opinions claiming that Herod originally came from Edom and was an Edomite. At a certain point in Jewish history, the Edomites were forced to convert to Judaism and also Herod’s family converted. However, Herod never became a real Jew and never intended to be one.

The second theory regarding the origin of Herod is taught in Talmud Bava Batra 3b. The Gemara (rabbinic discussions) there teaches that Herod was originally a slave in the house of the Hasmoneans.

The Hasmonean revolt against the Syrian – Greek occupants was led by Mattiyahu, the Cohen HaGadol (High Priest). In 165 B.C.E., the Second Temple was recaptured by the Jews and we all know what happened, as we commemorate the victory on Chanukkah.
More than twenty years later, the Sanhedrin and the people proclaimed the Hasmonean Shimon, Mattiyahu’s last living son, as “Prince of the Jews”. The Hasmonean dynasty ruled from that year until 36 B.C.E. when it was overthrown by Herod. 

The Talmud teaches that Herod was a slave in the house of the Hasmoneans and had his eyes on a young girl from the famous family. One day Herod heard a heavenly voice telling him that any slave that revolts now will succeed in his rebellion. Herod rose and killed all members of the Hasmonean family except for the young girl he loved. 

The RAMBAN (Nachmanides) commentates here that the Hasmoneans got punished by G – d because they didn’t reinstitute the kingdom of the House of Yehudah. Instead, they proclaimed themselves as king although they didn’t have the right to do so.
After Herod had killed all members of the household, he intended to marry the young girl. She refused and ascended to the roof shouting “Whoever comes in future years and says I AM A DESCENDANT FROM THE HOUSE OF THE HASMONEANS IS IN TRUTH A SLAVE because there is no one left from that family. After this declaration, the maiden jumped from the roof and thus committed suicide.

The Gemara teaches that Herod preserved her body in honey for seven years. There are claims that he had sexual intercourse with the dead body of the young girl, and there are voices saying that this did not happen.

Tiberias + Zfat (Safed) on 21 December 2010


Europe is covered with snow but in Tiberias, at the Kinneret, we enjoy sun and 24 degrees celsius today.

Arabs against Jews in Zfat (Northern Israel)

B"H

At the moment, it seems rather quiet in Zfat (Safed) / northern Israel but the tensions are still around. Not only since the letter of those Rabbis who ban renting out property to Arabs, the subject of "Arabs moving into Jewish neighbourhoods" has been on top of the agenda. 

For instance, I can tell you about an incident happening in Tiberias just two days ago where Arabs went into a place, took out a knife and demanded Jewish girls. The owner of the place had a security camera and was about to call the police when the Arabs run away. FORCE - this is how to respond to Israeli Arabs and then they run as fast as they can !

A few times I have written about the tensions in the small town of Zfat who once used to be a completely Jewish place. Just look at all the great Kabbalists from the Middle Ages. Arabs have absolutely nothing to do in Zfat !

However, last week I made some photos in the area of the "famous" academy which claims that more Jews are studying there than Arabs. I am not so convinced because when you look at who is coming out and going in, you will be confronted with an Arab majority.


Above and below: The Jewish Academy in Zfat is, unfortunately, attracting too many Arabs from the northern area. Especially from the Arab villages nearby.





Just around the corner, in HA'ARI Street, we find a huge Chabad Yeshiva. The Yeshiva is located right across the dormitories of the Academy. Dormitories where mostly Arabs live and they turn on their loud Arab music. Especially on Erev Shabbat and obviously in order to disturb the religious neighbours. The Yeshiva students went over in order to complain but the Arabs just showed them the finger.

The two attacked tourists were Christian Missionaries

B"H

Two female tourists got attacked by some young Arab men last Shabbat. At least, this is was one of those women, Kay Wilson, is claiming. Kay was walking together with her friend through the forest around Beit Shemesh when suddenly a few young Arab guys appeared and asked them for water. Kay Wilson and her friend Christine Luken didn't have any water and the Arabs walked away. However, as soon as the two women had climbed down a hill, the Arabs were back and this time with a long knife. Christine Luken offered them all her money but the Arabs started stabbing the women. Mrs. Wilson survived but Christine Luken died from her injuries. 

Israel's press made a big fuss about the incident but only yesterday the secular daily "Yediot Acharonot" reported that the two women belonged to a known Christian missionary organization and came to Israel in order to missionize Jews. 

FRUMLIFE is asking on her blog why our government allows Christian missionaries with their vicious intentions to stay in Israel. Why are their hundreds of Christian missionary creeps sliming around in Israel and live off donations they receive from the churches in their home country ?

Who was the false Christian Meshiach ? - Part 2

B"H

Here is the second part of the two part series about the false Meshiach J. Please find the first part HERE !


• The real name of John the Baptist was Yochanan ben Zecharia. His mother’s name was Elisheva. John saw his task in announcing to the Jews that the times of Meshiach are getting close and, therefore, every Jew has to do Teshuva. In Judaism, a ritual bath in the Mikveh stands for “Tahara – Purity”. Yochanan also wanted to clean the soul of the Jews. Everything regarding the speedy arrival of Meshiach. He led his life without drinking wine and without eating bread.
• Why did Yochanan not join the J. crowd when he, as stated, saw that J. is the Meshiach ?
• J. did not run against the Torah but even agreed with the leading Rabbis that the Shabbat was created for men and not men for the Shabbat.
• Already during Temple times, certain Jewish groups refused to follow the “Torah She’Ba’al Peh – The oral Law (Talmud)”. The Sadducees (Hebrew: Zaddukim), for instance, don’t follow the oral law in most cases and don’t even believe in the principle of “S’char veOnesh – Reward and Punishment”.

The Jewish Principle of “Reward and Punishment:

G – d created this world on an imperfect level, otherwise everything would just be perfect. Including humankind. If the world was on an imperfect level, we humans wouldn’t have a FREE CHOICE in life but only act holy. This, however, was not G – d’s intention when He created the universe.
G – d decided to create an imperfect world in order to enable humans (especially the Jews) to perfect the world. For instance through prayer, Mitzvot or Tikkunim (soul rectifications). In particular, Jews have the task to perfect the world through Torah Mitzvot. Every Mitzvah is another step towards perfection and the coming of Meshiach. Nevertheless, the Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin teaches us different ways of how Meshiach is going to come. One possibility is that the world is so bad that Meshiach has no choice but to come.
Gentiles can perfect the world by following the Seven Noachide Laws and not falling into idol - worship. Jews, however, have the G – dly task to follow the Torah Mitzvot. The Ramchal, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, wrote in his book “Adir ba’Marom” that only Jews are able to cause a “Tikkun Olam – A Rectification of the whole World”. Gentiles may follow the Torah Mitzvot but don’t cause any Tikkun.


• J.’s prophecy that the Second Temple would be destroyed in a way that no stone remains on top of each other was a false prophecy. Also that the destroyed Temple would be rebuild in three days. This is why the Sanhedrin saw in him a false prophet and false prophets, according to Talmud Sanhedrin deserve punishment. Not even the prophets from the First Temple period demanded that the Temple has to be destroyed. Those prophets prophesized that the Temple will be destroyed if the Jews don’t repent, but never dared to proclaim that they (the prophets) want to destroy the Temple.
• The New Testament claims that one of the J. disciples, Yehudah Ish Kariot, betrayed J. and received money from the Sanhedrin. The Gospels tell different stories about the incident: It says in Marc that the Sanhedrin didn’t want to pay anything. In Matthew it says that Yehudah received money but Luke and John don’t mention anything in this respect. The question is whether the entire incident with Yehudah Ish Kariot is true or not. If so, Yehudah may have been disappointed by J. because he realized that J. is not the Meshiach at all.
• J. told his disciples to influence the Jews only and NOT the Gentiles (Matthew 10:5 – 7). He wanted his teaching for the Jews only and, later on, only Paul decided to spread the teachings among the other nations because he couldn’t find too many Jews believing in J.
• The High Priest (Cohen HaGadol) Yosef ben Kaifa (Kaifas) didn’t accuse J. of any religious crime because it was well – known that J. followed the laws of the Torah. The accusations, however, took place on a political level: That J. wanted to destroy the Temple and that he called himself the “Son of G – d”. I have already explained that J. could not have been any son of G – d. One of the main reasons was that his mother Miriam was totally unaware of anything special happening before and after he was born. On the contrary, as his own family saw in him nothing but a lunatic.
• The entire meeting with the Sanhedrin could not have taken place on Friday because there weren’t any meetings of the judges on a Friday. Not on Fridays and especially not on a Jewish holiday (it was Pessach !). If the trial took place on a holiday, there must have been a severe “Pikuach Nefesh” reason. One of the reasons may have been that the Sanhedrin wanted to avoid a rebellion against Rome during Pessach.
• The Sanhedrin only accused J. of being a false prophet but wouldn’t have sentenced him to death, as Talmud Sanhedrin 41 teaches us that criminal Jews were only sentenced to death about 40 years before the destruction of the Temple. J.’s trial, however, took place long before those 40 years began.
• Miriam HaMigdalit – Miriam from Migdal. The small village “Migdal” exists until today and is located outside Tiberias at the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret).
• Paul – his Hebrew name was Sha’ul. He was born in Tarsus and his father was obviously a religious Jew. Sha’ul, however, became secular.
• J. never had the intention to introduce a new religion. The only thing he wanted was a slight change in Judaism; he planned to do so in the sense of the Torah and not against it. Despite all claims, he always remained what he always was: A Jew !

The dark history of the "Hotel Tiberias" in Tiberias


The former "Hotel Tiberias" today.

Photo: Miriam Woelke

B"H

“Hotel Tiberias” was one of the first hotels in Tiberias. Located very close to the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) and founded by Richard Grossmann in 1896. 
During my research about a related subject I heard different opinions about the origin of the Grossmann family. Generally, people claim that the Grossmanns came from Germany. A former, well - known, mayor of Tiberias, Moshe Zachar, however, wrote in his biography, that the Grossmanns were Swiss. 

The family ran the hotel in a very German style, as you can see on the picture below. There is no doubt that they were quite successful and even added the "Lido Beach" nearby. The hotel was a kind of unique because it had warm water. In 1938, Richard's son Fritz took over the management of "Hotel Tiberias" but he later committed suicide when he found out that his wife betrayed him.

With the beginning of the Second World War, the Grossmanns including their German staff, escaped at night. No one knew where they had disappeared to. Some sources state that the Grossmanns moved to Australia. The reason for their escape was their political ideology. First of all, the family was Christian but not only that. They were also missionaries. Secondly, as I was told from the Tiberias Archives, the Grossmanns supported Hitler and thus, turned into the enemy of the British as soon as the war broke out. Before being deported by the British, the Grossmanns ran away one night. 


The family was not alone because there were a few similar cases in Tiberias. Not only there, but also in Jerusalem where some Christian German families lived in today's German colony and were publically showing the Nazi flag. After a while, those Christians got thrown out by the British. 


After the Grossmanns had escaped, the British Army took over the building. Today hardly anyone in Tiberias still knows about the history of the former "Hotel Tiberias" and its weird owners.

How do I become a member of Chassidut TOLDOT AHARON ?

B"H



When I am in my extreme mood, then I cannot stop loving the extreme. At that moment, I am willing to do anything and I am convincing myself that I just have to nullify my own will. Not being so terribly selfish and individualistic anymore but, instead, start doing something for a team or community.

I am not Ruth Blau ending up in total Mea Shearim attraction but whoever enters Mea Shearim as a newcomer does feel a special fascination. Last Shabbat I had been invited at friends and took a friend of mine with me to the meals. In Batei Hungarin we got the usual lecture against using the Internet (my chassidic hosts called it "Interchet"), against running (Chas veChalilah) over to the national religious and that I should finally make up my whatever religious mind. Afterwards my friend and I walked through the neighbourhood searching for Tishes. The Mishkenot HaRoim were on but the Ezrat Nashim was used by men. The Shomrei Emunim weren't on and we didn't see any singing and shaking Toldot Avraham Yitzchak Synagogue. The only Tish we found was in Chassidut Toldot Aharon.

I have to say that I find the present Ezrat Nashim anything but attractive. The part in the new building I don't like at all. Only TA girls on the second floor squeezing their faces onto the Mechitza. I heard that the adult women are on the thirsd floor but we couldn't find anything. My friend and me were running up and down and the only thing we found were men's toilets near the Ezrat Nashim. 

We left the new building and walked around through the Toldot Aharon backyard. How much I miss this old entrance and the former Ezrat Nashim ! The back part of it is now closed and plenty of women and girls were trying to climb onto the metal benches. We just had a brief glimpse downstairs. Rebbe David Kahn was eating his chicken soup and we started to regret why we hadn't shown up earlier. 
The Toldot Aharon Rebbitzen usually arrives later and thus we didn't see her.

Later on we walked through the Mea Shearim market and I asked my friend whether I would fit into the Toldot Aharon. On condition that I would perfectly behave and dress properly. 
"No", so the fast response of my friend. I would not fit in !
"Why not ? I can behave ?"
"You are too stubborn and not a group person at all. You are too individualistic and won't listen to everything the Rebbe decides !"

This is very true and realistically speaking I couldn't join for more than two weeks. However, I don't think that every Toldot Aharon woman is completely following anything within the group. There must be some individualists like me. Sometimes you even recognize them by the way they dress. Not rebelllious but different. I have seen quite a few women leaving their groups (Gur, Satmar, Litvishe, Chabad or even national religious) but I have never met a woman who left the Toldot Aharon. Nevertheless, once I met a runaway from the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak but this girl may be, more or less, back in the fold.

Next time I am going to the TA Tish, I will still keep on dreaming. Dreaming but suddenly turn into a group person.:-)
