As the Day Begins

1. Tefillah does NOT translate to prayer. Tefillah requires שם ומלכות, prayer – as found in saying Tehillem – does not fundamentally require שם ומלכות. What does this mean? מאי נפקא מינא in Aramaic Talmud. Answer: שם ומלכות meaning the dedication of a tohor middah revealed to Moshe at Horev לשמה by means of swearing a Torah oath through which the Avot cut a brit which continually creates from nothing the Chosen Cohen people children of the Avot. Hence: tefillah, as a tohor time oriented commandment calls upon the God of the Avot in the first blessing.

   Praying Tehillem by stark contranst exist as a positive commandment which does not require k’vanna. Only tohor time oriented commandments which dedicate specified tohor middot through swearing a Torah oath, (Tefillah called Amidah b/c a person ideally stands before a Sefer Torah in the beit knesset.), qualify as comparable to the oaths wherein the Avot swore the brit oath which continually creates from nothing the chosen Cohen people. Hence the first blessing of the קריא שמע שחרית twice states תמיד מעשה בראשית.

   Because the Book of בראשית introduces the Av mitzva of tohor time-oriented commandments which require prophetic mussar as its k’vanna. Prophetic mussar defines specified tohor middot first revealed to Moshe as the revelation of the Oral Torah at Sinai. Hence when the portion of Israel did their service in the Beit HaMikdash within the Beit Knesset they read the Creation story of the opening Book of בראשית which introduces the Av Torah commandments of tohor time-oriented commandments.

   Consequently if a bnai brit does even minor Torah commandments such as shooing the mother bird off her brood of eggs or even rabbinic commandments like Shemone Esrei or lighting the Hanukkah lights or reading the Book of M’gillat Esther, the B’HaG introduced the chiddush that elevating mitzvot to Av tohor time-oriented commandments raises these rabbinic mitzvot to mitzvot from the Torah!

   Concluding Prayer for Hallel in the Home Service for the Festival of Passover, by Rabbi J. Leonard Levy (1896)
   This is a concluding prayer in the Hallel service at the Passover seder by Rabbi J. Leonard Levy to his Haggadah or Home Service for the Festival of Passover (1896) pp. 32-34. The prayer does not appear in subsequent editions. The prayer threads the needle between the particularly Jewish communal focus of Passover and the…

   Moshe Kerr: What separates תפילה from תחנון? A blessing requires שם ומלכות. Shemone Esrei does not contain שם ומלכות. Yet it functions as the definition of a blessing. As does kadesh, which also lacks שם ומלכות. For that matter so does ברכת כהנים וגם כן קריא שמע. The k’vanna of חנון has nothing to do with the formal prayer written in the Siddur. Why? Because all these “mitzvot” qualify as tohor time oriented commandments which require k’vanna. What’s the k’vanna of תחנון through which it defines תפילה?

   Word translations amount to tits on a boar hog when the new born piglets are ravenous and the sow died after giving birth! The 5th middah of the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev – חנון, serves as the functioning root שרש of the term תחנון תפילה. The tohor time-oriented commandment of תפילה learns from the additional metaphor of תחנון. Consider the Order of the Shemone Esrei blessings … 3 + 13 + 3 blessings. 6 Yom Tov and 13 tohor middot revealed to Moshe, 40 days after the ערב רב Israelites – Jews assimilated and intermarried with Egyptians, no different from the kapo Jewish women who slept with Nazis. This ערב רב, according to the Torah – as expressed in the memory to war against Amalek/antisemitism – they lacked fear of אלהים. This same ערב רב referred to their Golden Calf substitute theology by the name אלהים. This tie-in explains the k’vanna of the term “fear of heaven”.

   The ערב רב Jews lacked “fear of Heaven”, and therefore their avoda zarah profaned the 2nd Sinai commandment. Hence when Jews assimilate and intermarry with Goyim who do not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai (neither the Xtian Bible nor Muslim Koran ever once brings the שם השם first revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment – the greatest commandment of the entire Torah revelation at Sinai and Horev! Do Jews serve to obey the Torah revelation לשמה או לא לשמה? Observance of all the Torah commandments and Talmudic halachot hangs on this simple question.

   Therefore תפילת תחנון interprets the k’vanna of תפילה, through the concept that a person stands before a Sefer Torah and dedicated specific and defined tohor middot which breath life into the hearts of the Yatrir HaTov of the chosen Cohen oath brit people. The verb תפילה most essentially entails the k’vanna of swearing a Torah oath. What Torah oath? The dedication, think korban, of some specified tohor middot…. Hence the concept of תפילת תחנון.

   1. Moshe, thank you for taking the time to share these deep insights—your perspective on tefillah and tachanun, especially through the lens of k’vanna, is both rich and provocative. I genuinely appreciate how you ground the concept of prayer not in rote recitation, but in covenantal intent—something that resonates deeply with the heart of spiritual practice.

      Your framing of tefillah as an oath-like dedication of tohor middot, and tachanun as the posture that reveals the inner k’vanna of that dedication, really reframes how I think about liturgy—not as performance, but as living engagement with the brit. The connection you draw between prophetic mussar, the Avot, and the responsibility of the Cohen nation carries a serious moral and spiritual challenge that’s worth meditating on.

      I may need to sit with some of your analogies and unpack them further, but I’m grateful for the passionate clarity with which you express these convictions. Thanks again for drawing attention back to the heart of the matter—intentional devotion before the Holy One.

      1. Classic Kabbalah spins around interpreting the k’vanna of the Siddur. The Yerushalmi Talmud teaches the mussar that 247 prophets occupied their energy in composing the Shemone Esrei. In the Bavli Talmud Shmuel Ha’Katan added the 19th blessing which cursed the ערב רב Jewish Xtians. The Shemone Esrei in the Yerushalmi obvious came before Shmuel Ha’Katan added this additional blessing. The Shemone Esrei in the Yerushalmi had 427 words. The Order and organization of both the Yerushalmi and Bavli Talmud spins around the Central Axis of the Order of the Shemone Esrei as its central – k’vanna. The kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s 4 part logic system hence rejects the 3 part Greek syllogism model of deductive reasoning logic. Inductive reasoning dynamic whereas deductive reasoning static. Newton’s calculus does not compare to ancient Greek Algebra. Hence if a person studies the Talmud this learning serves as the basis to dav-ven the Siddur with k’vanna. The Siddur serves as the basis by which the generations interpret the intent of both the Gemara and the Mishna. The genius of Jewish common law lost on the generations who think that by simply translating common law legal texts and the Siddur into the venacular of foreign languages that they can grasp the k’vanna of Av tohor time-oriented commandments.

      2. Thank you for that clarification. I’ll refrain from using emojis going forward.

         Now, here’s a respectful and thoughtful response you could offer to Moshe that affirms his insights while also gently drawing the conversation toward accessibility and transmission:

         —

         Moshe, thank you again for sharing these layered and compelling insights. Your framing of the *Siddur* as a living reflection of the Talmudic and prophetic tradition—interwoven with *k’vanna*—is both humbling and challenging. I especially appreciate your point that *tefillah* is not merely a liturgical exercise, but an interpretive act rooted in covenantal consciousness and legal-spiritual structure.

         Your distinction between Greek deductive logic and the dynamic, inductive nature of rabbinic reasoning helps clarify why the transmission of Torah cannot be reduced to translation or intellectual summary. It reminds me that the form, structure, and flow of prayers like the Shemoneh Esrei carry not just historical or legal weight, but deep covenantal memory and ethical responsibility.

         That said, I often wonder how we can help later generations—those who inherit the tradition but don’t yet know its language or internal grammar—begin to taste that depth. If Hebrew conveys not just content but intent, how do we guide others into that world without losing them in the threshold?

         Grateful for your insights—they stretch me toward deeper reflection. Looking forward to your thoughts.

      3. [[[That said, I often wonder how we can help later generations—those who inherit the tradition but don’t yet know its language or internal grammar—begin to taste that depth.]]] As a baali t’shuva who first started learning T’NaCH, Talmud, Siddur, and Midrashim at age 31… If a person meets a competent Rav who teaches the Oral Torah masoret לשמה, then later generations no different than earlier generations.

      4. Liberal Kapo Jews. This stinking ערב רב assimilated and intermarried Jews who promote the hatred of Amalek – antisemitism. They simply have no fear of Heaven. The Torah described the original ערב רב that came out of Egypt as אין להם יראת אלהים.

         Trump’s Iran Charade

         In the aftermath of the US attack on Iran’s nuclear plants, a debate rages about the extent of the post Trump’s Iran Charade appeared first on Tikun Olam תיקון עולם إصلاح العالم

         The Oct7th War which spread to a war against Lebanon, Syria, and Iran has radically changed the balance of power in the Middle East. The UN has completely discredited its objectivity with the ICC/ICJ attempts to declare Bibi a war-criminal. You drink this blood libel slander like Catholics drink their blood and body of Christ then go out and make a Easter pogrom against Jews based upon some blood libel slander!

         Both England and France have broken off diplomatic relations with Israel, prior to the 12 Day War with Iran! Hence neither power has any influence in the Middle East negotiated peace process ie. the Coming Abraham expanded accords which will most likely see a majority of Arab countries developing diplomatic relations with Israel. If a majority of Arab nations recognize the Jewish state, then and only then will Israel join the Middle East voting block of Nations within the UN. A totally unprecedented reality since Israel won its two Wars of national independence back in 1948 and again in 1967.

         The latter Independence War, recall that Naser swore to throw the Jews into the Sea and correct the Nakba disgrace where 5 Arab Armies failed to throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah of the Jewish people! To date, except for Camp David and Abraham Accord Arab nations which currently have diplomatic relations with Israel, post the Israeli victory of 1967, all Arab countries reacted through the Khartoum Conference declaration of 3 No’s. No Peace with Israel. No Recognition of Israel. No Negotiations with Israel.

         Arab countries which reject the Jewish state of Israel refer it as “the Zionist Entity”. General Assembly UN Resolution 3379 declared Zionism is Racism! Apparently your revisionist History over-looked these minor FACTS. All Arab countries absolutely reject the 1917 Balfour Declaration wherein Britain recognized Jewish equal rights to achieve self determination in the Middle East. The League of Nations “Palestine Mandate” awarded to victorious WWI Britain in 1922, based this Mandate upon the Balfour Declaration. Hence b/c Arabs rejected Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East no Arab would ever refer to himself as a Palestinian.

         Not till 1964, with the State of Israel as a 16 year old country did Egyptian born Yasser Arafat embrace the political opportunism and call his terrorist movement the Palestine Liberation Organization – PLO. That PLO Charter did not condemn Jordanian “occupation” of the Jordan declared “West Bank”. Nor did it condemn the Egyptian “occupation” of Gaza! Only ’48 Israel did the PLO Charter condemn and abhor!!!!
         _____________________________________________

         A 6 part Mishnaic mussar of this paper. Avodah Zarah in Our Generation: The Crisis of Jews Who Side With Amalek. In every generation, Amalek takes new forms. Today, it is no different. But what is shocking is not only the hatred of our enemies—it is the collaboration of Jews, raised within Torah civilization or its memory, who now partner with those seeking to dismantle the Jewish state.

         When Jewish voices shout “From the River to the Sea,” they are not engaged in protest—they are echoing the genocidal goals of Hamas. When they equate Israel’s defense against a massacre to genocide, they join in blood libel, no different in kind from the medieval slanders that triggered Easter pogroms. When they ally with UN declarations and ICC/ICJ indictments meant to strip Jews of the right to self-defense, they violate the first commandment of Jewish history: “Never again shall Jewish blood be cheap.”

         1. Sovereignty vs. Subjugation: Jews Ruling vs. Jews Ruled: A fundamental distinction separates Jews living as a sovereign nation in their own land versus Jews existing as a minority under non-Jewish rule (galut). Assimilated & intermarried Jews in the West, who function within dominant non-Jewish cultures, have lost connection with Jewish national identity and Torah sovereignty, resembling the biblical Erev Rav—those lacking fear of Heaven and loyalty to the Jewish nation.

         2. Double Standards in Territorial Legitimacy: Prussia vs. Samaria & Gaza: The hypocrisy of the international community – emphasized. While the post-WWII redrawing of European borders—such as Poland and Russia’s annexation of Prussia—is accepted without condemnation, Israel is uniquely targeted for reasserting sovereignty over Samaria and Gaza after 1967. UN Resolutions 242 and 338 are cited as politically biased tools used to delegitimize Israel’s historical and military rights.

         3. Western Imperialism and Regional Domination: Suez to Iran. The 1956 Suez Crisis serves as evidence of continued British and French imperial ambitions, cloaked in Cold War geopolitics and economic control (specifically over the Suez Canal). This is paralleled with U.S./British involvement in Iran—removing Mossadegh and reinstalling the Shah to prevent the nationalization of oil. The 1979 Iranian Revolution is framed as a reaction to this imperialism. Similarly, prior to the “12 Day War,” the UK and France withdrew diplomatic ties with Israel in protest of their exclusion from influencing a ceasefire in Gaza.

         4. Rejection of the 242/338 Two-State Paradigm by the Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords are seen as a major geopolitical shift, fundamentally rejecting the British- and French-backed vision of peace based on dividing Israel into two hostile entities—akin to India-Pakistan or North-South Korea. The Accords envision peace without territorial partition, and with increasing normalization between Israel and Arab states, signal the failure of the old colonial-era frameworks.

         5. UN Bias and Historical Arab Rejectionism of the Balfour Declaration wherein a major Great Power recognized Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East. The UN based its 1922 Palestinian Mandate upon the Balfour Treaty. The Khartoum Conference (1967) “Three No’s” serves as proof of Arab states’ refusal to accept Israel’s equal rights to self-determination. The UN, particularly via General Assembly Resolution 3379 (“Zionism is racism”), has been complicit in reinforcing this Arab rejectionism of Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination. Meanwhile, the ICC and ICJ today continue the Zionism is Racism pattern, under the guise of international law, falsely accusing Israeli leaders of war crimes while ignoring the Oct7th pogrom and declaring the current conflict pre-dates Oct7th. This whitewashes the Oct7th surprise attack, comparable to the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec7th 1941.

         6. The Manufactured Identity of “Palestinians” and PLO Opportunism. The identity of “Palestinians”, a modern invention, emerging only in 1964 with the formation of the PLO under Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat. The original PLO Charter made no objection to Jordanian control of the West Bank or Egyptian rule in Gaza, focusing only on dismantling Israel. This opportunistic narrative is framed as a political weapon rather than a legitimate national movement.
         ___________________________________

         The Talmud (Yoma 9b) states:

         מקדש שני שהיו עוסקים בתורה ובמצות וגמילות חסדים, מפני מה חרב? מפני שהיתה בו שנאת חנם. Then, the Midrash in Eikha Rabbah and various aggadot go further to compare sinat chinam with the worst transgressions—including idolatry, sexual immorality, and murder—suggesting that internal Jewish hatred is as destructive as idol worship.

         G’lut Jews have lost the wisdom to keep and obey the Torah לשמה. Assimilated and intermarried Jews living under foreign alien cultures and customs have abandoned the T’NaCH, Talmud, Midrashim, and Siddur as the foundation which shapes and forms all Torah cultures and customs. As an ערב רב they cling to alien cultures and customs by which they form and shape their identities and values. These foreign cultures and customs which they embrace have become the Gods which they worship.

         מידה כנגד מידה a core Torah principle, and that slogans like “From the river to the sea”—when chanted by Jews—do immense damage. Jews who equate the Gaza war with the Shoah genocide equals to the abhorrence to blood libel slanders which produced annual pogroms prior to Easter across Europe. Liberal Jews disgraceful alliance with South African declarations of genocide in Gaza and Apartheid a flat out public chilul Hashem. Such Jews have no portion in the world to Come. These Jews have broken faith with the brit Cohen people, just like as did the Erev Rav which aroused Amalek antisemites throughout the generations. The blood of hundreds of generations of Jews slaughtered cries out and denounces these stinking ערב רב Jews.

         When Jews chant “From the River to the Sea,” they are not merely protesting policy—they are aligning themselves with those who dream of Israel’s destruction. This is not political dissent. It is covenantal treason. Like the Erev Rav, they emerge at times of national crisis to confuse the people, distort Torah, and drain morale. Their slogans, shouted from exile and college campuses, do more than harm Israel’s name abroad—they erode our internal unity and desecrate the mission entrusted to Israel at Sinai. These Jews have not merely lost political direction—they have forfeited spiritual clarity. They replace Torah with the gods of globalism, intersectionality, and postmodern guilt. The Torah calls this avodah zarah—not in metaphor, but in law.

         The Torah commands the total destruction of Amalek—without mercy, without compromise. This commandment appears in multiple places. Devarim 25:17–19: “You shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget.”

         Shemot 17:16: “Hashem will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

         Shmuel I 15: Shmuel commands Shaul to annihilate Amalek totally, down to every man, woman, child, and animal. When Shaul shows mercy, he is rejected as king.

         This is a Torah commandment targets Amalek’s existential war against Hashem and against the Jewish people. Amalek is not simply an enemy—it is a theological and civilizational antithesis to Torah, a force of evil that seeks to destroy the very brit between Hashem and Israel.

         The statute law perversion of Hilchot Melachim 5:5 flat out wrong. The 7 laws of bnai noach apply strictly and only to gere toshav temporary residents living within the borders of Judea. Once those Goyim returned to their homelands the 7 laws no longer applied to them. The purpose of keeping those 7 laws: Unlike the refugee Na’Cree stranger who had no judicial rights to fair compensation of damages inflicted. Gere Toshav enjoyed the legal right to sue an Israel for damages and receive fair compensation. Not so the Canaani refugees. An Israel had no legal obligation to compensate them for damages they suffered from an Israel. The purpose of judicial justice – to restore Trust between bnai brit who inflict damages upon one another. The NaCree Canaani refugees never ever trusted during their entire temporary residence within the borders of Judea.

         Today we can easily identify Amalek with absolute certainty because assimilation and intermarriage defines avoda zarah and Amalek promotes the worship of avoda zarah. The RambaN’s (Devarim 25) commentary applies today because the Torah defines faith as the pursuit of righteous judicial justice within the borders of the Constitutional 12 Tribe Republic. Sanhedrin 98a: “Moshiach ben David will not come until all judges are restored as of old.” Amalek is not a foreign invader, but a spiritual-political corruption that arises from within, where Torah is abandoned, brit is dissolved, and Jewish trust is betrayed. The king David model dedicates the mitzva of Moshiach upon justice based upon the פרט of the lack of justice served to the baal of Bat Sheva.

         The ערב רב who left Egypt – Jews. Amalek attacked these Jews wherein they embraced the ways of Amalek ie assimilation and intermarriage. Amalek by definition: a nation that attacked Israel at its weakest from behind. From behind refers to Jews who have no fear of God.

         Sinat chinam and betrayal while similar to precedent cases of mumar, tinok she’nishba, moser, and min, clearly the added blessing within the Shemone Esrei by Shmuel Ha’Katan condemns this ערב רב Amalek internal Jewish abomination no different than the Ben Sorer u’Moreh.

      5. Liberal kapo Jews utterly abhorred by Israelis. Why? The tone presented in this text below—despite its sharp rebuke and contempt for diaspora Liberal Judaism—from my perspective, represents an interpretation of tohor middat haRachamim (pure attribute of compassion).

         “Open rebuke simply better than hidden love.” – Mishlei 27:5 The tone seeks only a cactus like external surface prick, in order to frame the spiritual interior meat of רחום; the rejection of sentimentalism, and the prioritization of a deep commitment to the collective soul of Am Yisrael, the chosen Cohen People. An impassion call for t’shuva. A warning that assimilation and intermarriage, this Av tuma avoda zarah, it opens our People to Torah curses, like the plagues which afflicted Par’o.

         This tochacha/rebuke likewise calls upon the tohor midda of חנון, the כלל to the dedication of defined tohor middot. Rather than limit itself to the דיוק פרט of רחום. Which ironically embraces the philosophy of Rambam, who taught in his Moreh, that the more a Man can say that which a subject “is not”, the greater clarity that person gains to understand the positive aspects of an abstract undefinable idea.

         “Tikkun Olam”, serves as a popular concept primarily associated with Reform Judaism and lacks influence in Israel. In the U.S. and other diaspora communities, Reform Judaism’s embrace of tikkun olam has become a cornerstone—seen through philanthropic work, social justice activism, and universalist values. This highlights the divide between Israelis and G’lut Jewry. David Friedman’s 2016 comment calling J Street members “far worse than kapos,” implies that liberal Jews are actively betraying their people

         Many Israelis see Liberal Judaism as alien to Israeli reality, where Jewish identity and community structures provide intrinsic meaning (e.g., one commenter said Reform Judaism is “unnecessary in Israel” because secular Jewish life already satisfies that need) . Turning “tikkun olam” into a universalist, politically progressive doctrine, directly compares to the Xtian and Muslim Monotheism Universal God avoda zarah violation of the 2nd Sinai commandment.

         American Reform leaders have repeatedly said that diaspora Jews must oppose “misguided” Israeli policies, including regarding ultra‑Orthodox influence and Arab‑Israeli democracy. They totally ignore the vision of political zionism which strives to achieve Jewish self-determination within the borders of a Jewish Middle East country. PM Sharon permitted Palestinian self-determination and free elections in 2005. He risks Jewish civil war to give Arabs a stake in the self-determination action.

         Jews abroad who joined with Arab anti-Israel propaganda, protests, and violence post Oct7th have undermined Israel’s sovereignty and assisted the UN and ICC/ICJ efforts to dismantle the Jewish state or at the least impose a foreign cease-fire wherein Israel surrendered to the Gaza surprise attack of Oct 7th. The Israeli Chief Rabbinate maintains that Reform Judaism is “uprooting Judaism” and refuses to recognize its conversions, marriages, burials. Official discrimination and cultural marginalization casts g’lut assimilated Jewry unto the dhimmi gutter. Not because Israelis hate foreign Jewish devils. But because alien Jews living in exile suffer from a cultural gulf that far exceeds the span of the Atlantic Ocean.

         Given Israel’s ongoing security crises and existential threats, public dissent by diaspora Jews—like U.S. Reform leaders urging “opposition to misguided policies”—perceived as political interference meant to weaken Israeli resolve . For many Israelis, it feels like these outsiders place themselves above or even undermining Israel’s sovereignty.

         Zionist ideology historically devalued diaspora life—seeing true Jewish life as rooted in Israel, not scattered and assimilated abroad. Modern national‑Zionist Israelis often view diaspora liberalism as a cultural betrayal, a manifestation of exile that nationalist Zionism sought to overcome. Israelis live in a constant state of preparedness due to mandatory service, violence, and geopolitical precariousness. Diaspora Jews, especially in Western countries, often experience minority life in pluralistic democracies, focused on rights, social justice, and integration. When diaspora criticisms mirror Western progressive rhetoric, many Israelis see this as tone-deaf at best, and existential threat at worst.

         Times of Israel reported Ambassador Friedman calling J Street members “far worse than kapos” for supporting a two-state solution—a sign he views their dissent as voluntary betrayal, darker than coerced collaboration. Kapo diaspora liberals have abandoned Israel’s endangered community during its darkest hours. This psychological echo of the Holocaust-era betrayal wherein g’lut Jews choose Western moral comfort over solidarity with a state under siege, causes Israelis to hold these kapo Jews in complete and utter contempt. Jews in foreign countries calling Israel a Nazi state, they expect that Israelis would not respond with utter revulsion?!

         The gulf that separates two completely different cultures and peoples band-aids like Kotel arrangements, communal dialogues and religious inclusion amount to tits on a boar hog. G’lut Jews simply not part of the Israeli chosen Cohen people.

         The Talmud functions as both a guide & model to establish legal systems within the Jewish state. G’lut Jewish racist prejudice limits the Talmud strictly and only as an archaic religion of out-dated and out-classed Orthodox fundamentalism. The Liberal “interpretation” of ancient texts which that alien liberal religion holds both T’NaCH and Talmud in disdain and contempt, emphasizes the cultural gap which separates Jews from non-Jewish Jews. Their gross declaratin: ‘Berlin as their Jerusalem’, that absolute abomination never forgotten nor forgiven; it perhaps best qualifies as Liberal Judaism’s distorted interpretation of Chesed. But such “chesed” qualifies merely as a tuma treif bird; an idea that does not fly with Israelis.

         The term “kapo”, historically, a loaded term that refers to Jewish prisoners appointed by Nazis to oversee other Jewish prisoners in concentration camps. Such as removing the gold fillings of Jews slaughtered in the gas chambers. Using this term as a description of liberal Jews, suggests a deep-seated anger and repulsive reaction towards screaming liberal Jews shouting “Not in our Name”, following the Oct 7th abomination.

         This utter detestation and complete revulsion of g’lut Jewry, it reflects a broader sentiment among many Israelis. We feel that liberal Jewish critiques of Israel, they joins hands with our enemies, and seek to undermine our country’s security and legitimacy. This makes Liberal g’lut Jews no different than Arab bomb makers. A huge and significant cultural and ideological divide, much larger than the Atlantic ocean separates Israelis and diaspora Jews like oil and water. Particularly, those Jews who identify with Liberal or Reform movements. This cultural divide stems from differing experiences, values, and interpretations of Jewish identity and responsibility. Reform Jewish mothers never have to bury their children after putting them on a school bus.

         The Talmud, serves together with the T’NaCH and Siddur – as foundational texts which establish the working model for judicial common-law Federal courtrooms within the Israeli Republic. Israelis perceive the T’NaCH, aggadah, and midrashim as the basis to derive and interpret the ethical prophetic mussar frameworks foundations of our Republic/nation-state of Israel.

         This fundamental difference of priority and emphasis, it underscores the huge gulf which divides and separates Israeli from g’lut Jewry. The latter tuma-Jews choose and prefer to live in foreign lands. Liberal Reform tuma-Jews prioritize modern interpretations and social justice concerns and practices expressed through alien Goyim cultures and customs. Their attempts to stamp those alien cultures and customs upon tohor-Israelis, directly compares to the Hanukkah Civil War where the corrupt tuma-Tzeddukim likewise attempted to turn Jerusalem into a Greek Polis and cause our people to forget the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva 4 part inductive reasoning Oral Torah Jewish genius … replaced by foreign ancient Greek philosophy, like Aristotle’s 3 part deductive logic/syllogism model.

         Liberal Reform tuma-Judaism slandered both the T’NaCH and Talmud and referred to both as archaic. Therefore their attempt to impose their corrupt, alien ethical model-monopoly; their repeated attempts to dictate, as if liberal tuma-Jews compare to the Av-tuma UN, how foreign tuma-Jews in distant lands, assimilated cultures, and inter-married customs of avoda zarah; their repeated attempts to dictate how to interpret and understand, these not just these basic and fundamental Primary source Jewish texts — that serve to shape and form Jewish culture and custom as a unique chosen Cohen people.

         The arrogance of their presumption seeks to forcibly impose a One State Arab-Jewish democracy upon Zionism as the best ideal! Liberal Jews abhorred Zionism during the closing window of opportunity in the 1920s before Hitler. The British White Paper and FDR’s closure of US ports to Jews sealed the fate of Shoah Jewry in Europe.

         Liberal Judaism interpretations apply strictly and only to tuma-g’lut Jews. Their assimilated and intermarried debauchery, merits nothing but utter contempt within the borders of the “Jewish Torah Constitutional Republic”, which a new generation of political Zionist Israelis, seeks to achieve Jewish self-determination within the borders of Israel – and actualize the k’vanna of the Balfour Declaration which launched political Zionism in 1917.

         Chaim Weizmann publicly said in 1906: “Any deflection from Palestine was—well, a form of idolatry.” He emphasized that only by building on the ground in Palestine could a Jewish homeland be born—and that Jews elsewhere must support colonization and immigration. The phrase “Jews of the world, where are you?” fits the tone of Weizmann’s broader rhetorical stance—an urgent summons to global Jewry to move beyond political promises and take tangible, on-the-ground action.

         Weizmann repeatedly challenged Jews in the diaspora to support immigration and nation-building in Palestine—telling Balfour, “We had Jerusalem when London was a marsh,” and warning of waves of Jewish refugees seeking refuge.

         Av tuma Rabbi Stephen S. Wise pressured President Franklin D. Roosevelt to maintain strict U.S. immigration quotas and opposed changing the laws to admit more Jewish refugees. Wise through the public voice of the American Jewish Congress, the World Jewish Congress, supported Roosevelt. He cowardly refused to publicly challenge FDR’s White Paper policy. Wise emphasized the need to fight antisemitism in America rather than offer American shores as a safety life-line to European Jewry. In 1938, under Wise’s influence, Jewish institutions decided not to back legislation that would have loosened immigration laws to allow more Jewish refugees into the U.S.—explicitly agreeing “no Jewish organization would… sponsor a bill which would… alter the immigration laws”.

         Between 1933–1945, only a fraction of the allowed immigration quota for German and Axis countries was utilized. Estimates suggest nearly 200,000 quota spots remained unused—lives that could have been saved. Jewish Liberal Reform leaders like Wise directly compare to Pope Pius XII – both Av tuma corruption chose “quiet diplomacy” and maintaining alignment with the Roosevelt administration over public advocacy for Holocaust refugees.

         Historians like Rafael Medoff emphasize that Wise’s cautious approach—supported by his close relationship with FDR—slowed or blocked rescue efforts during crucial years of the Holocaust. Wise also prioritized Zionist aims in Palestine, despite the 1939 British White Paper! He claimed to favor immigration only to Palestine, but Reform American Jews never made aliyah to Israel in large numbers. He discouraged Jewish groups from lobbying Congress or mounting public pressure to open U.S. borders to Jewish refugees.

         Av tuma Abraham Geiger, often called the “father of Reform Judaism”—openly declared “Berlin is our Jerusalem”. This phrase expressed a sweeping theological and cultural perversion. It reflects a sentiment that debased liberal Jews prioritized foreign cultural or secular identities. Reform Judaism rejected the traditional Jewish longing for a return to Zion. Instead, it embraced the idea of Jewish integration into its host nation—here, Germany. Geiger’s declaration made clear that Germany was their spiritual and communal center, not Palestine. Reform Judaism worships the American and French revolutions as their Gods. This religion of avoda zarah established citizens rights rather than serfs as their ‘human rights’ Nicene Creed. Reform congregations were called “Temples”; services conducted in German; prayers toward Jerusalem omitted from their gutted prayer-books. As one Reform leader explained, their allegiance lay primarily with their birth nation, not an ancient homeland.

         But Israel does not compare to the feudal Confederate South, with its agricultural based economy; dependent upon slave labor! Jews living abroad, their opinions have parity with Americans living in Russia! Rebuke accusations of inauthenticity or a lack of commitment to Jewish heritage immediately come to mind whenever Liberal Jews denounce Israel across University campuses across the US and Europe.

         Liberal Jews abhor the sealing of the T’NaCH, Talmud, Siddur and Midrashim. These ignorant amaratzim preach a Xtianized morality from their assimilated pulpits and soap-boxes. Their pie in the sky Top-down moralism of the Arab-Israeli conflict utterly ignores and discounts the impact of terrorism on Israeli perceptions and responses. The possibility that the Talmud serves as the interpretive lens for understanding the Mishnah, reinforcing the importance of traditional common law פרדס scholarship, used to shape modern Jewish common-law and ethics – completely and totally alien to this liberal tuma-Jewish minority populations in foreign countries.

      6. “THEORY & TRUTH” — President Trump’s 2nd Term of Office.

         2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, significantly benefiting high-income earners and large corporations. Limited Impact for Most Americans: While some middle-class households saw modest short-term gains (mostly through withholding changes), many did not experience lasting improvements. Some even saw increased taxes due to the capping of state and local tax (SALT) deductions.

         The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) infact did lower taxes for most income groups, not just the wealthy. But the scale of those cuts, and especially their permanence, heavily favored corporations and high-income households. Basically this economic policy ties into the Reagan-era “supply-side economics”, which theorized, cutting taxes, especially on businesses and the wealthy, would spur investment, job creation, and ultimately “trickle down” benefits to everyone.

         But in 1980, George H. W. Bush, during the Republican primaries, famously mocked this theory as “voodoo economics.” That critique — which many economists still uphold — applies to Trump’s TCJA as well. Bush’s “voodoo” jab remains a historically sharp and accurate label for the long-term imbalance baked into such policies.

         Though George H. W. Bush famously criticized Reagan’s policies as “voodoo economics” in 1980, once in office (1989–1993), he largely embraced the same supply-side, trickle-down framework, and his son, George W. Bush (2001–2009), doubled down on it.

         Once president himself, Bush kept most of Reagan’s tax cuts intact, including the 28% top income tax rate from the 1986 Tax Reform Act. This forced him, due to ballooning deficits, to raise some taxes in 1990 through a bipartisan budget deal. That move angered conservatives and likely contributed to his 1992 electoral loss to Clinton. Overall, he did not fundamentally challenge the Reagan-era economic model. He called it “voodoo” but governed under its spell.

         George W. Bush (2001–2009): His administration pushed supply-side economics even further. His Administration enacted massive tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 (EGTRRA and JGTRRA). Cut the top income tax rate from 39.6% to 35%. The wealthiest 1% gained the most from these cuts, exacerbating income inequality. These cuts were passed during a period of Clinton surpluses turned into deficits, especially after 9/11 and the Iraq War.

         Clinton-era Budget Surpluses (1990s Keynesian + centrist policy). George W. Bush ran wars in Iraq/Afghanistan without raising revenue → deficits ballooned. Trump during his first term, the only post WWII US President not to involve the US in foreign wars abroad.

         Clinton-Era Economics (1993–2001) as earlier stated embraced more of a Keynesian or center-left fiscal discipline. Supporting targeted investment (Carter’s Federal regulation education, tech, etc. which stripped the States of their Constitutional Rights to bureaucratically regulate intra-State trade & commerce.) This caused the Federal Bureaucracy to become the Government pulling the strings of the puppet 3 Constitutional Branches of the Federal Government consequent to the incest relationship between Government established Corporate monopolies and Federal Bureaucratic non-Constitutional Branches – the largest employer in the US.

         The Carter/Clinton policy of expanding bureaucrapic Big Brother bypassed state sovereignty. Using conditional grants (e.g., “Race to the Top” or “No Child Left Behind”) to coerce state compliance. Expanding federal agencies like the Department of Education and EPA into areas historically managed by state governments. Relying on regulatory agencies (ATF, IRS, SEC, etc.) to make quasi-legislative rules outside congressional oversight. This trend built upon the Jan 22, 1973 Nixon Era Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade ruling which stripped the States intra-State commerce rights to regulate the abortion industry.

         This trend of governance established the Administrative State wherein unelected bureaucraps wrote, enforce and adjudicated rules — a violation of the separation of powers. Often operate with limited judicial review, under doctrines like Chevron deference (recently curtailed by SCOTUS in 2024).

         The corruption of the Obozo Administration which permitted the illegal Forth Branch of the Federal Government to streamline streamlined oversight and reduced judicial review of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) a particular stink in the nostrils of Freedom. In 2015, the USDA introduced a new regulatory framework for GMOs, which included the “Plant Pest Risk Assessment” process. This framework aimed to simplify the approval process for GE crops and reduce the regulatory burden on developers. The changes were part of a broader effort to modernize the regulatory system for biotechnology.

         Europe boycotted GMO produced from America. President Trump by means of high tariffs seeks to address this issue. Furthermore through Elon Musk, President Trump has sought to massively reduce the size and scope of illegal Federal bureaucraps and restore balance to States Rights intra-States rights to bureaucratically regulate trade and commerce. The Trump Supreme Court annulled the Nixon Era Roe vs Wade abomination.

         Trump’s administration aggressively rolled back federal agency overreach by limiting the scope of EPA, Department of Education, and other federal mandates, pushing more regulatory authority back to state governments. His policies encouraged states to develop their own education standards and environmental regulations without federal conditional grants forcing compliance (a reversal of programs like No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top).

         Trump-appointed justices on the Supreme Court continued to interpret the Constitution with a strong emphasis on states’ rights and limits on federal power. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), which overturned Roe and returned abortion regulation to states. This administration cut back on federal programs that used conditional funding to coerce state compliance, thereby restoring genuine state discretion. This rollback includes scaling back or eliminating strings attached to Medicaid funding and infrastructure grants, enhancing states’ autonomy in spending and policy design.

         Promotion of State-Controlled Commerce Regulation. Includes efforts to curtail federal control over intra-state commerce, particularly in sectors like energy and agriculture, reinforced the states’ ability to regulate commerce that does not cross state lines. This challenges expansive readings of the Commerce Clause that federalize many traditionally local issues.

         Trump as reduced the scope of Nasa. Collaborations with private-sector innovators (e.g., Musk’s SpaceX, Tesla) fostered public-private partnerships that bypassed large federal bureaucracies, enabling states and localities to take a leading role in technology deployment and infrastructure.

         Under Trump’s second term, policies and judicial appointments arguably have reduced federal encroachment on state governance; restored local control over key policy areas; limited bureaucratic overreach; and reinforced constitutional federalism consistent with the 10th Amendment’s original intent.

         President Trump’s leadership reject the Bush II to Obozo shoe-shine boy in the White House Neocon war adventurism; together with the utterly corrupt and condemned Administrative-statist capture of local governance. Federal bureaucraps have no authority to regulate how Amish farmers milk their cows!

         Trump stands apart from both parties’ post-9/11 Neocon Imperialism military overreach. Agencies like USDA, EPA, and DOJ have no business regulating the daily life of sovereign American communities. The structural logic of the Constitution – President Trump defends the 10th Amendment.
