Israel, The Only Jewish Country, Model Seder on National Television

Israel's President Ruby Rivlin

Model Seder, 5780, 2020, Channel 11
Model Seder, 5780, 2020, Channel 11
Wednesday, soon before Passover, 5780, 2020, began, there was a lovely, traditional "Model Seder" on Israel's Channel 11. Various entertainers, plus Israel's President Ruby Rivlin "beamed in" participated in a national Pesach Seder.

It's in times like this when we're reminded that Israel is the only Jewish country in the world. Granted that it's too easy to complain; people sure do.

I was going to blog about politics. But in these difficult corona, COVID-19, times, I really think it's better to write about something good and encouraging. In addition, when Prime Minister Binyamin Bibi Netanyahu explained the corona lock-down restrictions, he related them to the Passover holiday and family observances.

Let's look at the good and our blessings. One thing for sure, modern technology has made these restrictions much easier to bear. What do you think?

GUEST POST: REFUTING THE FANS OF VASHTI

REFUTING THE FANS OF VASHTI
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)
======================================
In recent years, Jewish Feminists have claimed that
Vashti, the wife of King Achashverosh from the
Biblical Book of Esther, was a Feminist hero or role model. 
 
This claim can be refuted with knowledge of Torah.
 
======================================
Why Vashti was evil [quick summary in time order]:
======================================
(1) Targum Yonatan on Esther, chapter 1, verse 9,
translates “Queen Vashti” [וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה] into Aramaic
as “Vashti the evil Queen” [ושתי מלכתא רשיעתא].

(2) Vashti deserved punishment because she forced
Jewish women to work on Shabbat [while naked]
(Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, chapter 48 and also
Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).

(3) Vashti did not come [when she was summoned
by her husband, King Achashverosh], only because
she was suddenly struck with leprosy
(Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).

(4) Vashti is the ONLY woman who is explicitly
identified as an evil woman [ושתי הרשעה] by the Talmud
(Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).
 
Even the wives of Esau and the wife of Lot were
never explicitly labeled as evil women by the Talmud. 
 
Even Zeresh, the wife of Haman [וַיְסַפֵּר הָמָן לְזֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ],
from the Book of Esther, chapter 6, verse 13, was never
explicitly labeled as an evil woman by the Talmud.

(5) Vashti’s reign was a fulfillment of the curse of
the Biblical Prophet Isaiah (chapter 3, verse 12):
“As for My people, their rulers are mockers,
AND WOMEN WILL RULE OVER THEM…”
(Midrash Rabah, Book of Esther, chapter 3, paragraph 2).

(6) Vashti was one of four women who held power
in the world and oppressed the Jewish people
(Midrash Rabah, Esther, chapter 3, end of paragraph 2).

(7) Vashti desecrated the sacred garments of
the Jewish High Priest (Midrash Rabah on the
Biblical Book of Esther, chapter 3, paragraph 9).

(8) Vashti influenced King Achashverosh to
stop the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple
in Jerusalem (Midrash Rabah on the Biblical
Book of Esther, chapter 5, paragraph 2).

(9) Rashi’s commentary on Esther, chapter 2, verse 1,
teaches that King Achashverosh regretted killing Vashti
because of her beauty – [which suggests that Vashti’s
physical beauty was her only positive attribute.]

(10) Yalkut Meam Loez commentary on Esther,
chapter 1, verse 9, (based on earlier sources):
Vashti wanted to tempt the Jews to commit sexual
misdeeds, so they would be unworthy of rebuilding
the Temple in Jerusalem, that her grandfather,
Nebuchadnezzar, had destroyed.

(11) Yalkut Meam Loez commentary on Esther,
chapter 1, verse 11, (based on earlier sources):
Vashti wanted to the Jews to forget Shabbat,
so they would no longer have hope for redemption
and rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem,

(12) Esther is mentioned 55 times in the entire Book of Esther.
Esther is mentioned in every chapter except for
the first chapter and the very short last chapter or 10th chapter.
Vashti is mentioned 7 times in the first chapter of the Book of Esther,
and 3 times in the second chapter, but never after the second chapter.
======================================
CONCLUSION:
 
Vashti was: NOT a hero, and NOT a Feminist, and NOT righteous.
Vashti does NOT deserve the admiration of any person.

Claiming that Vashti was hero of the Book of Esther
is like claiming that Eva Braun was hero of World War II.
Eva Braun was the girlfriend of Adolph Hitler [yemach shemo].

Modern Jews Descended from Biblical Jews* (Completed)

Apparently, I either erased the ending of this post or never finished writing it before originally posting. Now, it's complete. Sorry for the mess.

One of the simplest proofs that today's Jews are the direct descendants of Biblical Jews can be found in the language of the Bible, the text, narrative and lettering.

Even at the peak of the great two thousand 2,000 year exile, Jewish People and communities were discovered all over the world, India, Europe, Africa all reading from the same scrolls, following the same holidays and rituals, telling the same historic narrative and yearning to return to the very same Jerusalem.

It's that simple to say and easy to prove.


Yesterday I was in the Israel Museum and its Shrine of the Book for the umpteenth time, this time with visitors from afar. At the Shrine of the Book, it was explained to them that the text on these very ancient Dead Sea Scrolls only found in 1947 is identical to the Bible, the Torah Scrolls read by Jews all over the world even today.

Not only are Torah Scrolls exhibited in museums, but they are read from and copied by Jews all over the world. They are the source of the Jewish Religion and also studied by Jews of all ages all over the world. There never was a time in our history when we didn't study the Bible, the first five books, which are the Torah and the rest of the books with make up the Tanach, Torah, Navi (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings.)

The very same texts were found studied by Jewish People in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. We Jews are the same People who observe the same religion. There are slight differences in customs and interpretations of the Torah Law, but the similarities are extraordinary. No other religion or people have a longer history. We Jews are the People of the Bible in every sense of the word. Of course, since we had been exiled thousands of years before the modern return, we do look a bit different from each other. When in exile, there were converts to joined us, and two to three thousands of years do have an affect as many people joined us in the belief that Judaism is the only true religion. But we worship the same Gd in the same language and celebrate the same Holidays.

Just to remind you that both Christianity and Islam were invented/established long after Judaism, and their primary aim is to replace us, Gd forbid.

Guest Post: From Democrat to Conservative

guest post by Mr. Cohen:

=====================================
From Democrat to Conservative
=====================================

Because I am an Orthodox Jew, I quit the Democratic Party,
which is responsible for recent laws that “permit” the
unforgivable abomination of so-called “gay marriage”.

Because I am an Orthodox Jew, I joined the Conservative Party
which is the ONLY American political party that is totally
opposed to the inexcusable abomination of “gay marriage”.

I consider this switch to be an act of teshuvah,
and I expect to be rewarded for making this switch
when I [hopefully] reach Olam HaBa.

GUEST POST: Shimon Peres never understood

Shimon Peres Never Understood
GUEST POST by Mr. Cohen

Shimon Peres (born 1923 CE, died 2016 CE) never understood that
Muslims have always hated Jews, and will always hate Jews forever,
because that is what their religion requires them to do.

Shimon Peres never understood that Muslims have always deceived
non-Muslims, and will always deceive non-Muslims forever,
because that is what their religion requires them to do.

Shimon Peres never understood that according to Islamic Religious
Law [sharia],  peace-treaties between Muslims and non-Muslims
are worthless, and should be violated as-soon-possible by
killing the non-Muslims that the peace-treaty was made with.

Shimon Peres never understood that Islam can NEVER
tolerate any Jewish state anywhere in the Middle East,
regardless of its size or the shape of its borders.

Shimon Peres never understood that Islam requires
that Jews must be constantly oppressed by Muslims
and trembling-in-fear before Muslims. 

Shimon Peres never understood that Jews in controll
of their own land and their own army is offensive to Islam,
regardless of its size.

Shimon Peres never understood that Islam requires
that Jews must be only a little-bit-better than slaves.

Shimon Peres never understood that Muslims view
any compromise as humiliation, and humiliation
is the worst thing in Muslim or Arab culture.

Shimon Peres never understood that forgive-and-forget
is NOT part of Muslim culture, especially when
dealing with non-Muslims.

Shimon Peres never understood that
the Koran describes Jews as “apes and pigs”.

Shimon Peres tried to negotiate peace with Muslims,
but with zero understanding of Muslim beliefs.

The result: The Oslo Accords were a disaster for Israel,
and the severe troubles that Israel faces now were caused by it.
