GUEST POST: IF JOSHUA WERE ALIVE TODAY

If Joshua Were Alive Today
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)

Joshua was one of the greatest leaders in Jewish History,
and the proof is that an entire book of the Jewish Bible
was named after him – a claim very few people can make.

Joshua, chapter 23, verse 6, narrates the prophet Joshua

instructing the entire Jewish nation to be very strong

to obey all of the commandments revealed by Moses

(“the Torah”), and also be very careful to not deviate

from them in any way.

Joshua, chapter 23, verse 7, narrates the prophet Joshua

instructing the entire Jewish nation to avoid mentioning

the names of foreign gods, and also to avoid causing

other people to swear by foreign gods.

Joshua, chapter 23, verses 12 to 13,
narrates G*D revealing that:

If Jews intermarry with non-Jews, then He will NOT

help the Jews conquer the Land of Israel.

And even worse, the sin of intermarriage will cause

the Jews to be driven out from the Land of Israel.

In our times, the ONLY Jews who believe that all

the commandments revealed by Moses should

be obeyed [when it is still possible to do so],

are the Orthodox Jews.

In our times, the ONLY Jews whose religious beliefs

include not mentioning the names of foreign gods and

not causing other people to swear by them are Orthodox Jews.

In our times, the ONLY Jews who are totally opposed

to intermarriage with non-Jews, and refuse to accept it,

are the Orthodox Jews.

Therefore, if Joshua were alive today,

he would probably be an Orthodox Jew!

GUEST POST: IF NEHEMIAH WERE ALIVE TODAY

If Nehemiah Were Alive Today
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)

Nehemiah was one of the greatest leaders in Jewish History,

and the proof is that an entire book of the Jewish Bible

was named after him – a claim very few people can make.

Nehemiah, chapter 10, verses 30 to 32, shows the Jewish people

accepting an oath, which was reinforced by a curse, to practice

the entire Torah of Moses, especially the prohibition against

intermarriage with non-Jews, and especially the prohibition

against desecrating Shabbat by using it as a shopping day,

and especially the prohibition against desecrating the

Sabbatical year [with farming activities during that year].

Nehemiah, chapter 13, verse 17, shows Nehemiah striving

against the prominent men of Judah, because they desecrated

Shabbat, which Nehemiah described as “an evil deed”.

The next verse, verse 18, shows Nehemiah saying that

desecrating Shabbat in the past has already resulted in

Divine punishment against Jews, and desecrating Shabbat

in the future will result in additional Divine anger against Jews.

The next verse, verse 19, shows Nehemiah closing the

gates of Jerusalem during the entire Shabbat, to prevent

the desecration of Shabbat by using it as a shopping day.

Nehemiah, chapter 13, verse 24, shows Nehemiah

noticing that Jews have intermarried.

The next verse, verse 25, shows Nehemiah arguing against

Jews who intermarried with non-Jews, and cursing them,

and hitting them, and pulling their hair out, and forcing

them to swear a sacred oath to not intermarry with non-Jews.

Two verses later, verse 27 shows Nehemiah describing

intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews as

a “great evil” [ra’ah gedolah] and a “sin against GYD”.

Nehemiah’s actions against intermarried Jews were never

criticized by any Jewish prophet, even though prophets

were still active in his time; and were never criticized by

any Rabbi of: the Mishnah, or the Talmud or the Midrash.

In our times, the ONLY Jews who totally oppose intermarriage

with non-Jews like Nehemiah did, and also obey Shabbat and

the Sabbatical Year like Nehemiah taught, are the Orthodox Jews.  

 

Therefore, if Nehemiah were alive today, he would be Orthodox!

GUEST POST: If Ezra Were Alive Today

If Ezra Were Alive Today
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)

Ezra was one of the greatest leaders in Jewish History,

and the proof is that an entire book of the Jewish Bible

was named after him – a claim very few people can make.

The Biblical Book of Ezra reveals details about Ezra’s religious teachings:

Ezra, chapter 1, verse 3, reveals that Ezra wanted

to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

Ezra, chapter 9, verse 3, reveals that Ezra was completely

opposed to intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews;

this verse states that when Ezra discovered that Jews

were intermarrying with Gentiles, he felt so aggravated

that he tore his clothes, and also tore his own hair out from

his head, and also ripped the hairs out from his own beard.

In verse 12, Ezra commanded all Jews to NOT intermarry with non-Jews.

In verse 14, Ezra mentioned that intermarriage would make GYD angry at the Jews.

In verse 15, Ezra mentioned that intermarriage is inexcusable.

Ezra, chapter 10, verse 3, reveals that under Ezra’s guidance,

ALL the non-Jewish wives of Jewish men, and the children

born to them, were permanently sent away.

Since all the children of non-Jewish women were permanently

sent away, even though they all had Jewish fathers, Ezra taught us,

through his actions, that people born to non-Jewish mothers

are NOT Jewish, even if they have Jewish fathers.

The last two words of Ezra, chapter 10, verse 3 are:

“VeCaTorah Yeaseh”, which means that Ezra’s policy of

Jewishness by matrilineal descent was “according to the Torah”.

The two words which precede “VeCaTorah Yeaseh” are

“BeMitzvat Elokainu”, which means that Ezra’s policy of

Jewishness by matrilineal descent was
“according to the command of our GYD”.

Ezra’s policy of Jewishness by matrilineal descent was

never contradicted by any Jewish prophet, even though

Jewish prophets were still active in Ezra’s time.

Ezra’s policy of Jewishness by matrilineal descent was

never contradicted by any Rabbi of: the Mishnah,
the Jerusalem Talmud, the Babylonian Talmud,
Rashi, Tosefos, Zohar, Midrash, Rambam, Ramban,
or Code of Jewish Law [Shulchan Aruch]. 

 

Ezra, chapter 7, verse 6, describes Ezra as:
an expert scholar of the Torah of Moses.
This description is never contradicted by any prophet,
nor is it ever disputed by any Rabbis of:
the Mishnah, Talmud or Midrash.

 

In our times, Orthodox Jews are the ONLY Jews who

want to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, like Ezra;

and completely oppose intermarriage with non-Jews,

like Ezra; and also define Jewishness exclusively by

matrilineal descent, like Ezra.

Therefore, if Ezra were alive today, he would

probably be categorized as Orthodox!

GUEST POST: If Jeremiah Were Alive Today

If Jeremiah Were Alive Today
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)

Jeremiah was one of the greatest prophets in Jewish History,

and the proof is that an entire book of the Jewish Bible

was named after him – a claim very few people can make.

The Biblical Book of Jeremiah reveals details
about Jeremiah’s religious teachings:

Jeremiah, chapter 17, verse 4, teaches the importance of

the year-of-release, which is called the Sabbatical Year

in English, and the shmittah year in Hebrew.

This means that Jewish farmers who live in the land of
Israel must allow their farm-lands to rest every 7^th year.

NOTE: Rashi’s commentary on this verse makes this clearer.

Jeremiah, chapter 17, verses 19 to 27, teaches the importance

of observing Shabbat, including the prohibition against

carrying burdens on Shabbat (verses 21, 22, 24, 27).

NOTE: Exceptions to this law are beyond the scope of this short essay.

Jeremiah taught that if Jews would observe Shabbat,

then Jerusalem would be theirs forever (verses 24 to 26);

but if not, then Jerusalem will be taken away from them

(verse 27). Maybe the real reason why many people and

many governments want to take Jerusalem away from the

Jews is because very many Jews today do not observe Shabbat.

In our times, we have a special name for Jews who want

the Sabbatical Year to be observed, like Jeremiah taught;

and also loyally observe the prohibition against carrying

burdens on Shabbat, like Jeremiah taught; they are called:

Orthodox Jews.

The organization that actively promotes observance of the

Sabbatical Year is staffed and funded exclusively by Orthodox Jews.

The overwhelming majority of non-Orthodox Jews abandoned

Shabbat-observance more than 100 years ago.  99.9% of Jews

alive today who observe Shabbat are Orthodox, even though

Orthodox Jews are less than 20% of the world’s Jewish population.

Therefore, if Jeremiah were alive today, he would probably

be categorized as an Orthodox Jew!
