GUEST POST: If Ezekiel Were Alive Today

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

Ezekiel 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 Ezekiel reveals details about Ezekiel’s religious teachings:

Ezekiel taught the importance of eating only-kosher in Ezekiel, chapter 4, verse 14:
[4:14] But I said: Alas GYD! Behold my soul has not been defiled;
I have never eaten animal carrion nor meat from a wounded animal
from my youth until now, nor has loathsome meat ever come into my mouth.

Ancient Rabbis (Babylonian Talmud, tractate Chullin, page 37B)
taught that this verse means that the Prophet Ezekiel never ate meat
from animals whose permissibility was questionable, in addition
to not eating meat from animals that were obviously forbidden.

Ezekiel taught the importance of observing Shabbat in these Bible verses:

Ezekiel, chapter 20, verse 12, teaches that Shabbat is a sign between GYD and the Jews.

Ezekiel, chapter 20, verse 13, reveals GYD complaining that Jews desecrated Shabbat.

Ezekiel, chapter 20, verse 20, GYD tells Jews to sanctify Shabbat
so it will be a sign between GYD and the Jews.

Ezekiel, chapter 22, verse 8: GYD again complains that Jews desecrated Shabbat.  

Ezekiel, chapter 22, verse 26: GYD complains that religious leaders ignored Shabbat.  

In our times, we have a special name for Jews who
refuse to eat non-kosher foods, like Ezekiel taught;
and also loyally observe Shabbat, like Ezekiel taught;
they are called: Orthodox Jews.

The overwhelming majority of non-Orthodox Jews abandoned
eating only-kosher foods and more than 60 years ago. 
99.9% of Jews alive today who observe Shabbat correctly
and loyally are Orthodox, even though Orthodox Jews are
less than one-fifth (1/5th) of the world’s Jewish population.

Therefore, if Ezekiel were alive today, he would probably
be categorized as an Orthodox Jew!

We Were Not Illegal Migrants in Egypt!

It is a total distortion of history and theology to claim that we must sympathize with and help the illegals, because we "were foreigners in Egypt."
“‘Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt,’ Exodus 22:21 — How should we treat our refugees?”
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin’s insights into the Holiday of Passover 
Biblical Jacob and family had been invited by the Pharaoh of the time to sit out the famine in Egypt where, due to Joseph's phenomenal administration, there was enough food. When the situation got better, our ancestors didn't rush back to the Holy Land. They felt too comfortable, and then afterwards, there was a new administration in Egypt. That new Pharaoh had forgotten that Jacob and family were privileged as a thank-you to all that Joseph had done. He enslaved them. And then the Jewish People were forbidden to leave. That's where the Passover Story begins.

I don't see how illegal migrants have anything in common with Jacob and family thousands of years ago. It pains me to see respected rabbis, like Rabbi Shlomo Riskin adopting Leftist ideology to Jewish History and Theology.



The illegal migrants come to Israel attracted by our high standard of living, a chance to live in a secure society with excellent healthcare and sympathetic, kind citizens, such as Rabbi Riskin. They know that they will be protected, their children educated and cared for. That's the type of society we have here in Israel. The illegals are also willing to take on jobs that very few Israelis want to do. But we didn't invite them and we don't owe them anything. The illegals are in no rush to leave Israel, because they know that they won't be enslaved.

We are not like the Egyptian Pharaoh. And the illegals are not like the Jews who were enslaved in Egypt. The neighborhoods in Israel in which the illegals live have become high crime areas. Veteran Israelis are in danger, and they are the ones we should be worrying about and caring for. Why don't I hear the rabbis, like Riskin, and politicians preaching that we must care for and protect Israelis from the dangers caused by the illegals?

GUEST POST: If Isaiah Were Alive Today

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

Isaiah 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 Isaiah reveals details about
Isaiah’s religious teachings:

Isaiah, chapter 56, verse 2, teaches that Jews who
observe Shabbat are “fortunate”.

Verse 5 of chapter 56 teaches that Jews who observe Shabbat
will receive “an eternal name” [shem ‘olam] in the House of GYD.
Since nothing in this world lasts forever, this verse seems to
promise an eternal reward in the afterlife, (which lasts forever),
to Jews who observe Shabbat.

Verse 7 of chapter 56 teaches that Jews who observe Shabbat
will be brought to GYD’s Holy Mountain, where He will
cause them to rejoice. This might be the afterlife.

Isaiah, chapter 58, last two verses of that chapter, teaches
that Jews who observe Shabbat and rejoice in it and honor it,
they will rejoice with GYD. This might be the afterlife.

Isaiah, chapter 66, verse 17, teaches that Jews who eat the meat
of forbidden [non-kosher] animals will be punished by GYD.  
Even though this verse only mentions three specific forbidden
animals, the Midrash Rabah, Seder Naso, Parshah 12, Paragraph 4,
teaches that this verse is true for ALL animals that the Torah forbids.

In our times, we have a special name for Jews who loyally
observe Shabbat, like Isaiah taught; and who also refuse to
eat non-kosher foods, like Isaiah taught; they are called:
Orthodox Jews.

The overwhelming majority of non-Orthodox Jews abandoned
eating only-kosher foods and more than 60 years ago.  
99.9% of Jews alive today who observe Shabbat correctly
and loyally are Orthodox, even though Orthodox Jews are
less than one-fifth (1/5th) of the world’s Jewish population.

Therefore, if Isaiah were alive today, he would
likely be categorized as an Orthodox Jew!

Isaiah (chapter 9, verse 16) criticizes Jews for speaking
obscene language, which is also known as dirty words
or swear words, or nibul peh in Hebrew. In our times,
the ONLY Jews who avoid speaking obscene language
because of their religious beliefs are Orthodox Jews. 

Non-Orthodox Jews may also avoid speaking obscene
language, but they do so to comply with etiquette or
professionalism, not because of their religious beliefs. 
This is an additional reason why Isaiah would be
an Orthodox Jew, if he were alive today.

Bolton, Groan, Keep Him Out of Israel

I know that many people on the Right here in Israel are happy that Ambassador John Bolton was appointed National Security Advisor by US President Donald Trump, but I'm not. Less than a year ago I heard Bolton speak, and I was even less than unimpressed.
Ambassador Bolton’s “3 State” Peace Proposal, Nonsensical
Ambassador Bolton addressing the Ingeborg Rennert Center's Guardian of Zion Award dinner, May, 2017

In all honesty, Bolton's grasp of the situation here in Israel vis-à-vis our Arab enemies showed real ignorance and as much unrealistic dreaming as the Loony Left.

Let me make it clear that there is chance of true Peace until the Arabs want it, and that seems very far away. When I say "far away," I mean a century or more. Redrawing borders or inventing new countries will not "solve the problem" or pacify the Arab terrorists.

Israel's problem/enemy is with terrorists, terrorist culture and mentality. Arabs, with the full support of the United Nations, European Union and innumerable NGOs, are still educating their youth to idealize terror, murder and death. And this isn't only here in the Middle East. Look at what has been happening in other countries, like France.

To be honest, I'm not at all optimistic.

Good Luck World!

More Truth About Israel from PragerU



Why Are There Still Palestinian Refugees?


I highly recommend subscribing to PragerU. Its videos are short and well-written. You get the truth and not anti-Israel and anti-Right propaganda.

You will be surprised by some of the topics discussed, like this one:

GUEST POST: If Daniel Were Alive Today

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

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

The Biblical Book of Daniel reveals a few details about
Daniel’s religious practices:

The first chapter of the Book of Daniel reveals Daniel refused
to eat foods that were forbidden by the laws of the Torah. 
In modern language, Daniel only ate foods that were kosher.

In chapter 1, verse 8, Daniel refused to “contaminate” himself by
eating foods from the table of the Babylonian King – even though
kings ate the highest-quality foods, and even though those foods
were being given to him for free (as indicated in chapter 1, verse 5).

In chapter 6, verse 11, we learn that Daniel prayed to GYD,
three times daily, every day.

In our times, we have a special name for Jews who refuse to
eat non-kosher foods, like Daniel did, and also pray three times
every day, like Daniel did; they are called: Orthodox Jews.

The overwhelming majority of non-Orthodox Jews abandoned
eating only-kosher foods and praying three times every day
[or even one time every day] more than 60 years ago.

Therefore, if Daniel were alive today, he would probably
be categorized as an Orthodox Jew!

An additional reason why Orthodox Judaism would seem
familiar to Daniel, if he were alive today, is found in
Daniel chapter 9, which reveals a transcript of Daniel’s prayer.
Phrases from Daniel’s prayer are still recited by Orthodox
Jews today, or are very similar to prayers still recited by
Orthodox Jews today, especially: chapter 9 verse 5;
chapter 9 verse 7; chapter 9 verse 9; and chapter 9 verse 19.

Maybe Orthodox Jews should be known as Daniel Jews!
