The Treason and Blasphemy of the anti-Christ Congress and President of the United States of ISREALHELL the whore
To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.'.
HJ 104 EH
Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which our great Nation was founded;
Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws;
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos;
Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and threaten the fabric of civilized society;
Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the generations of the future;
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical values and principles throughout the world;
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson , leader of the Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth birthday falls on March 26, 1991;
Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe,' this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving,' the year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and
Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state: Now, therefore, be it
- Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991, the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson , leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education Day, U.S.A.'. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
Passed the House of Representatives March 5, 1991.

Capital Punishment
Many years ago, I would have agreed with Steven Plaut`s op-ed
column favoring capital punishment — it`s in the Bible, so it must be
right (“Preserving Human Dignity Through Capital Punishment,”
Jewish Press, April 9). But that`s a literal reading which just doesn`t
mesh with all of the intricacies of the oral Torah. I think we need to
remember that our rabbis moved off the Temple Mount specifically
to avoid the issue of capital punishment; without the full Sanhedrin
present, capital punishment would not be possible. They too knew
that capital punishment is in the Bible, and they opted against it.
In the United States, we have a system of government very much
in opposition to the Noahide laws. I`m assuming that the proponents
of capital punishment would be less vocal about capital punishment
for idol worshipers, adulterers, and those who consume the flesh of
a halachically living animal. Even murder in Torah law has an entire-
ly different definition than in civil law. In addition to a Constitution
alien to Noahide laws, we have a jury system that has absolutely no
basis in Torah and which, in effect, places life and death judgments
in the hands of peers instead of impartial, skilled, qualified judges.
All of which raises the question: In the full absence of any other
aspect of Torah/Noahide laws, could one isolated element — capital
punishment — be in any way considered biblical? I personally would
like to know what our rabbis today have to say on this issue, and if
they do unambiguously endorse it as Mr. Plaut suggests. Sources,
please!

Druze Religious Leader Commits to Noachide "Seven Laws"
17:46 Jan 18, '04 / 24 Tevet 5764
The spiritual leader of the Druze community in Israel, Sheikh Mowafak Tarif, this weekend signed a declaration calling on non-Jews in Israel to observe the Seven Noahide (Bnei Noach) Commandments, as laid down in the Bible and expounded upon in Jewish tradition.
Several weeks ago, the mayor of the primarily Druze city of Shfaram, in the Galilee, also signed the document.
The declaration includes the commitment to make a better "humane world based on the Seven Noachide Commandments and the values they represent commanded by the Creator to all mankind through Moses on Mount Sinai."
Behind the efforts to spread awareness of the Torah’s Seven Universal Laws is Rabbi Boaz Kelly, of the directors of Chabad-Lubavitch institutions in the Krayot area of Haifa and the chairman of the Worldwide Committee for the Seven Noahide Commandments. The recent signature by Sheikh Tarif is part of Rabbi Kelly’s ongoing efforts among Israel’s non-Jewish community. In the past few years, Rabbi Kelly’s organization has placed roadside ads in Arabic calling for observance of the Noahide Laws, as well as distributing Arabic-language pamphlets on the subject among Arabs in Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
According to the Torah, all humankind (the offspring of Noah, or Bnei Noach) is subject to seven Divine commandments. They are: to refrain from idolatry; to refrain from sexual immorality; to refrain from blasphemy; to refrain from murder; to refrain from theft; to refrain from eating the limb of a living animal; and to establish courts of law.
Support for the spread of the Seven Noahide Commandments by the Druze spiritual leader contains within it echoes of the Biblical narrative itself. The Druze community reveres as a prophet the non-Jewish father-in-law of Moses, Jethro (Yitro), whom they call Shu’eib. According to the Biblical narrative, Jethro joined and assisted the Jewish people in the desert during the Exodus, accepted monotheism, but ultimately rejoined his own people. The Tiberias tomb of Jethro is the most important religious site for the Druze community.

the seven noahide laws, and the whole british/american israel business will not go away, your links are few, check out ephraim by yair davidy, on http:www.geocities.com/hiberi/bkepraim.html. and see what this lunatic has planned for the palestinians.
basically the idea of noahide laws is that brit/am are the lost tribes of israel, when they join together with judea, ie the jews, they will rule the world, this is happening now,bush jnr is finishing his dads attempt to wipe out saddam, with covert aid from israel, support from britain.
fortunately if this theory is taken to its logical conclusion then the tribe of dan will judge them all, the tribe of dan was never a part of the exodus as such, for dan was never the child of jacob, see the book of enoch,and genesis 14;14, abram could never have pursued anyone to the land of dan,if dan was actually his great grandson.

Bnei Noach: Gentiles Spreading Monotheism
23:13 Jul. 23, '03 / 23 Tammuz 5763
In recent years the Bnei Noach, or Noahide movement, has seen an extraordinary increase in numbers and activity around the world. Its adherents are non-Jews who embrace the truth of the Torah and therefore accept the seven ‘Laws of Noah’ – those laws which are incumbent upon gentiles as well as Jews.
Israel National Radio’s Tamar Yonah recently interviewed Jacob Sharf, a ‘Ben Noach,’ son of Noah, who explains that he espouses “The Orthodox stream of Judaism for non-Jews, which consists of observance of the seven laws given by God to Noah after the flood which are obligatory for all of humanity.” Sharf explains that “this is not a new concept, it is in fact the religious observance of Job, Adam and Abraham before God formed the unique covenant with the Jewish people.”
The seven laws are to refrain from idolatry, to refrain from sexual immorality, to refrain from blasphemy, to refrain from murder, to refrain from theft, to refrain from eating the limb of a living animal and to establish courts of law.
“These laws make intellectual sense to me but that is not why I observe them,” Sharf explains, “I do so because God commanded me to do so.”
Sharf was raised “a nominal Christian” and began studying the New Testament on his own, slowly discarding belief after belief through study of the Old Testament until he and his study partners found themselves with an identical belief system to Orthodox Judaism. He then pursued conversion to Judaism until he “realized that God had made [him] a non-Jew for a reason” and decided that there was much work to be done spreading monotheism’s belief in the One God of Abraham among the non-Jews of the world.
Sharf described the difficulty of maintaining a Noahide life and finding a support structure. “Often one finds oneself the only Ben Noach in a city,” he laments. However, with the advent of the Internet, thousands of Bnei Noach have been able to form online communities and several physical communities have formed as well. Places such as Dallas, Texas are host to hundreds of Bnei Noach and Wendell Jones (the famed archaeologist on whom the Indiana Jones movies were loosely based) even led his church to become Bnei Noach “removing the cross and the New Testament from the house of worship.”
Sharf runs an educational web site called HaMayim.org and started a Bnei Noach dating web site as well in an attempt to allow single Bnei Noach to meet one another. HaMayim means “the water” and is a reference to the verse in Isaiah (11:9) which prophesies that as the redemption of the world draws near “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.”

Christians and Jews
CHRISTIANS have to make a choice - "either retain their present belief system and be antisemitic or form a partnership with the Jewish people."
This is the view of Bar-Ilan University's Rabbi Dr. Pinchas Hayman, who is active in Jewish-Christian dialogue and in encouraging modern Christianity to return to its Jewish roots by observing the Seven Noahide Laws.
"As long as Christians keep Jesus as God, they will be antisemitic because that belief must lead them to believe that those who reject Jesus reject God," he told the Australian Jewish News.
"That's how the process of satanising the Jews began. That belief is the root cause of 1500 years of the Christian idolatrous antisemitism which led to the Holocaust."
Proficient in New Testament Studies and Classical Greek, Dr. Hayman noted that at least five American churches have given up belief in Jesus.

"Do this and you shall live"
- From the time of Moses faithfulness to the Ten Commandments has freed man from the bondage of the world, the flesh and the devil, but today that is obliterated with the nefarious Noahide Laws, whose authors fail to realize there will be no place to hide when the Final Judgment comes.
- "We are promised that Righteous Gentiles who observe the Noahide Laws are guaranteed "a place in the world to come." Don't get your hopes up! This does not mean Heaven, but the Messianic Age in which the Jews expect to assume authority over the whole earth under the leadership of their "Messiah." Righteous Gentiles will be the servant class. There will be no place at all for those who do not observe the Noahide Laws. Well, surely we Catholics can qualify as Righteous Gentiles, at least if we observe the Seven Laws of Noah, right? Unfortunately, in the mind of those who gave us the Noahide Laws, those who worship Jesus Christ as God are idolaters. To believe in the Divinity of Jesus Christ is to violate the first of the Noahide Laws. And what is the penalty for those who so offend? The Talmud requires Capital Punishment!"
- Editor's Note: In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost, he reveals something few are probably even aware of: the "Seven Universal Laws of Noah." The United States Congress passed this into law a dozen years ago, yet few are aware that this is one of the reasons why the International Criminal Court has been promoted and why there is such an emphasis to screen ethical, Christian and pro-life judges in the U.S. In truth, the Noahide Laws have had and will continue to have devastating effects on our lives. Indeed, when we realize this, we can better understand how these man-made Masonic Noahide Laws - another concoction cooked up by the Zionists - have so obliterated morality and ethics both in the world and the Church all in favor of "peace and justice" and "globalization of solidarity." It all has one purpose: to establish a new world order - Novus Ordo Seclorum which leaves Christ, the Son of God and the true Catholic Faith out of the equation. There will be only one religion, and it will not be the Faith of our Fathers nor the Judaism of the Old Testament, but the nefarious Zionism that seeks to usurp God's authority with their own, just as the man-made Novus Ordo replaced the perpetual, unchangeable Holy Sacrifice of the Latin Mass.

the Yid-diots of Id
The big and little picture of Jewish practice
By Morton I. Teicher
Essential Judaism by George Robinson. New York. Pocket Books. 644 pages. $27.95
This remarkably ambitious book sets out to fulfill the promise of its sub-title: "A Complete Guide to Beliefs, Customs and Rituals."
The author is a journalist who writes for Jewish and general newspapers. Both he and his wife were raised as non-observant Reform Jews. Robinson describes himself as a "culinary Jew" whose Jewish identity rested on his liking for Jewish food. When Robinson reached his mid-thirties, he decided to seek his roots and joined Beth Am, a Reform synagogue in Washington Heights, New York where he lived.
He obviously found a home there, becoming an active participant who served as board member, choir member, newsletter editor, teacher, sermonizer and president. Initially, however, he had a number of questions and he had to turn to many different books to find answers. He sorely felt the need for one book that dealt with his questions and, finding none, he decided to write it himself.
The result is this extraordinary overall guide that ranges over "the historical and philosophical underpinnings of Jewish practice."
Robinson took four years to put together this primer on Judaism in the hope that it will help others who decide to follow his "path back to Judaism" and who will need answers to the innumerable questions that such a decision entails.
The content is arranged in nine chapters that deal with Jewish prayer, the Jewish holidays, the life cycle, mitzvot, the Bible, the Talmud, Jewish mysticism, Jewish philosophers, and Jewish history. Others might prefer a different organizing principle and might have included material that Robinson left out but what he has fully achieved is instruction and explanation of Jewish practices along with their historical, philosophical and theological foundations. This is indeed a prodigious accomplishment.
A valuable feature of the book is what Robinson calls "sidebars."
These are elaborate footnotes that augment the text. They include such subjects as: The Names of God, An Assortment of Blessings, Tefillin, The Basic Structure of the Service, Kaddish, The Amidah, The Jewish Calendar, Thirty-Nine Categories of Work Forbidden on the Sabbath, Special Readings for the Festivals, The Noahide Laws, The 613 Mitzvot (arranged into positive and negative commandments), The Books of the Hebrew Bible, The Weekly Torah Readings and the Haftarot that Accompany Them, What's in the Mishnah and the Talmud, How To Study Kabbalah, Yiddish, and many others.
An impressive chapter contains a brief summary of each of the 39 books in the Bible and valuable appendices provide key documents of contemporary Jewish belief, a time line of major events, population statistics for world Jewry, calendar of Jewish holidays to 2006, and the laws of kashruth. Finally, there is a useful glossary.
One might quibble with small points. For example, the discussion of denominations includes Modern Orthodox but not ultra-Orthodox, Jewish Renewal but not Jewish Humanism. Also mentioned are Havurah, Gay and Lesbian synagogues and women's prayer groups. These are hardly denominations.
However, the overall impact of this guide is most striking and imposing. It succeeds admirably in presenting a clearly written handbook that will be useful for all Jews and that can also serve as a helpful introduction to Judaism for non-Jews.
Robinson deserves our gratitude for his major contribution.

Zionist Christians Firebomb Mosque After Jew RallyZionist Christians, whipped up into a frenzy of hate after attending a Jewish rally against "anti-Semitism", firebombed a mosque in Pickering, Ontario and spraypainted "Jesus rules" along its walls.
The Al-Mahdi Islamic Center, located in a rural part of Ontario near Toronto, was the subject of the Crusader-Zionist attack.
While the Jews themselves have taken "revenge" for the vandalism attacks by spraypainting Stars of David on Catholic schools and Christians institutions, this has not deterred the most fanatical of Christians from attempting to "defend" the Jews against Islamic "terror" by attacking Islamic mosques. Many Christians like to commit acts of violence on behalf of the people who kick them, and Jews believe that under the Noahide laws, all Christians are rightly their servants and slaves, to be abused as Jews see fit.
After motivating Christians to commit the crimes, Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress then denounced the crime, much as the Jews motivated the Romans to kill Christ, then attempted to pin blame for the incident on Roman authorities.

Zundel Judge Witness
Spat Upon By 100s Of Jews
From Ingrid Rimland

5-5-4- Judge Marshall backs out of Zundel Trial: "The only reason everybody has their tail feathers in a knot is because I am a judge."
- Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
- For once, I am sending you tomorrow's ZGram today, since the story is hot, and more is to come, I am sure. Here is a partial explanation why Judge Marshall changed her mind about testifying.
- Let me just preface this Globe and Mail article by telling what I have heard many, many times - not just from Ernst Zundel, but from others who attended the 1985 First Great Holocaust Trial that challenged the Holocaust Myth.
- Judge Lauren Marshall was then a young Attorney Marshall - I believe the first attorney courageous enough to take on the Zundel case, after some 13 lawyers backed out and headed for the nearest mouse hole. As she approached court, flanked by two policemen, some 400 Jews, protesting the trial, started spitting at her. I have been told she was so covered with yellow saliva that it ran from her face into her cleavage.
- Now I ask you: Would civilized people behave like camels, spitting? This is one disgusting incident that speaks volumes...

An Ontario judge stunned a courtroom awaiting her testimony at Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel's deportation hearing yesterday by instead launching a bid to avoid testifying.
Ontario Court Judge Lauren Marshall -- who represented Mr. Zundel in the 1980s -- retained lawyer Paul Stern virtually overnight to try and quash her subpoena, claiming that she has no "material evidence" to offer.

AN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY FOR AMERICA
America MUST move from the "even-handed" approach that has characterized its foreign policy towards Israel for over 50 years to a policy of UNCONDITIONAL, ABSOLUTE, NO-ANDS-IFS-OR-BUTS SUPPORT for the Children of Israel in ALL of the Land of Israel.
This new foreign policy, an "American Foreign Policy for America", as one commentator calls it, must be based on American recognition of the Covenants: G-d's Noahide Covenant and Laws for all humanity and G-d's Three Covenants with Israel:
The PEOPLE Covenant (G-d chose the Children of Israel to be His People)
The TORAH Covenant (G-d gave His Torah to the Children of Israel)
The LAND Covenant (G-d gave the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel)
http://www.chabad.com/news_headline.cfm?ArticleID=53
Quote:
"We are writing to remind you of the one factor of which you must never lose sight: that ultimately, the Allies will win the war. After their victory, territorial boundaries will be reshaped as they were after the First World War.
Then, the way will be clear for our purpose at this time, with the war drawing to a close, we must do everything in our power to change Eretz Yisroel to Medinat Yisrael and many steps have already been taken in this regard. Therefore, we must turn a deaf ear to the pleas and cries emanating from Eastern Europe. Remember this: all the allies have suffered many losses, and if we also do not offer human sacrifices, how can we gain the right to sit at the conference table when the territorial boundaries are reshaped?
Accordingly, it is foolhardy and brazen for us to negotiate in terms of money or supplies in exchange for Jewish lives. How dare we ask of the allied powers to barter money for lives while they are sustaining heavy casualties daily? So, insofar as the masses are concerned: RAK B'DAM TIHJE LANU HAAREZ, (Eretz Yisroel will be ours only by paying with blood), but as far as our immediate circle is concerned, ATEM TAJLU. The messenger bearing this letter will supply you with funds for this purpose".

GET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR CHURCHES
TO:
The President of the United States, Congress, ACLU & others
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION OF IMPENDING LEGAL ACTION
Open letter to the President of the United States, GEORGE W. BUSH, U.S. Congress, U.S. Attorney General, Ashcroft, Justices of the Supreme Court, United Nations, World Press, and the American People, to wit:
The U.S. Congress and the President, George Bush, (the farther) indicated in public law 102-14, 102nd Congress, approved March 20, 1991 that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah. http://www.bnainoach.com/bnainoah/law102.html Affirmed by like Proclamation of former Presidents, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton.
I am outraged by this action, Congress declaring that the United States was founded on some Jewish biblical laws (Noahide laws), the Seven Universal Laws of Noah, Congress and the President, ignoring in a conspiracy, the fundamental principles of the Separation of Church and State Constitutional Doctrine. Each of the members of Congress and the President has violated their oaths to defend and protect the Constitution, and therefore, must be removed from office, those that participated in this gross violation of the Constitution and are still in office, are subject to removal, the law must be revoked. Need I remind you, (current) Mr. President and members of Congress that did not participate in the Constitutional violations, that unless you revoke this Law you become just as guilty as the perpetrators? This is only half of it, the law further provides that the American people, and future generation be taught about the Noahide Laws. Failure of the Congress and the President to take action against this Constitutional violation will foster legal action.
Butz v. Economou (1978-SC). Although federal officials may not be sued for mistakes of judgment, they are personally liable for acting in a way that they know, or should know, violates a person’s constitutional rights.
The U.S. Congress officially recognized the Noahide laws in legislation, which was passed by both houses of Congress and the President of the United States, George Bush, indicated in public law 102-14, 102nd congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven Universal Laws of Noah, and that these laws have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization. They also acknowledged that the seven laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the citizens of the United States of America and future generations is needed. For this purpose, this public law designated March 26, 1991 as "Education Day, U.S.A." Further President Ronald Reagan pursuant to House Joint Resolution 186, proclaimed Tuesday, April 2, 1985, as Education Day, U.S.A. http://www.ukar.org/gore10.html advocating that the American people observe the Jewish Noahide Laws. Again on April 19, 1986, in accordance with Proclamation 5463 –Education Day, U.S.A., 1986, President Ronald Reagan, proclaimed Sunday, April 20, 1986 as Education day, U.S.A. advocating the observance of the Seven Noahide Laws by the American people. http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/resource/speeches/1986/41986b.htm. On April 18, 1978, President Carter signed into law Education Day, U.S.A. http://www.chabadnews.us/Old%20Aricles/AT%2000026.htm. President, William J. Clinton proclaimed March 28, 2000, as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2000, advocating that the American people observe the Seven Noahide Laws. http://clinton4.nara.gov/textonly/WH/New/html/20000324.html. George W. Bush, current President of the United States, proclaimed April 13, 2003 as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. and ascribed the Seven Noahide Laws for the Nation. Indeed for the past 19, years the previous Presidents of the United States have made similar Proclamation. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/release/2003/04/print/20030411-2.html
http://www.come-and-hear.com/editor/
America's New Government Church — Finally, a solution to doctrinal diversity. The rabbis have designed a one-size-fits-all religion for Gentiles: we bring you news of the Noahide Laws. Those who proclaim Jesus is their Savior will be put to death for idolatry. Congress has already begun putting the foundation in place.

The Radio Rabbi of Russia Rabbi Dov Ber Haskelevitch by Shoshanna Silcove In 1985, when Rabbi Dov Ber Haskelevitch was asked by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to be producer and commentator for a weekly rabbi's talk he had some concerns. "Most of my listeners would not be Jewish. I had to discuss things that were relevant to everyone without compromising my Torah principles." Since the Lubavitcher Rebbe had begun speaking about the Seven Noahide Laws as universal laws for all non-Jews, Rabbi Haskelevitch saw this as a unique opportunity to fulfill the Rebbe's directive by educating his largely non- Jewish audience to follow the Seven Noahide Laws. "I began,"he said, "by concentrating on episodes from the Bible and explaining them in light of Chasidic philosophy and also in terms of the Seven Noahide Laws. I received a very positive reaction from Jews and non- Jews." One non-Jewish family recently wrote to the rabbi that they have become so inspired by the weekly talk that the entire family now routinely listens to the show every week. They are thoroughly convinced that the Seven Noahide Laws are the answer to all of the world's problems. Today, Rabbi Haskelevitch's radio program reaches 50 to 60 million listeners across the former Soviet Union and in other parts of Eastern Europe as well. "When I first began doing this program it was before Glasnost. The management asked me to wish the Russian people a good year on January 1, 1985. I expressed my hope that the Russian nation should come to appreciate religious freedom. People called me afterwards and asked me, 'Do you really believe that such a country could have any real changes?' I answered that I sincerely believed it. I had a sense from the Rebbe's advice to Jews in Russia at the time--telling them to cooperate with the government--that the Rebbe was anticipating a change. My hunch was correct." With the unprecedented and miraculous downfall of the most repressive regime known to world history came the opening up of the floodgates of religious freedom. Unfortunately, however, this also brought on a resurgence in anti-Semitism. Pamphlets have been printed in Russia accusing Jews of baking matzohs with Christian blood and people believe it to such an extent that some are even afraid to let their children out of the house during the Passover season. "Another objective of my program is to dispel anti-Semitism. I say that Torah teaches love of one's neighbor and it would never condone the victimization of gentiles. (HAHAHAHAHEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOOOEY) They learn that through the Seven Noahide Laws they are equal partners with us in G-d's creation. (GODS AND WANNABEGODS) This changes their attitude." Rabbi Haskelevitch grew up the son of a respected Torah scholar under the Soviet regime. At an early age he had to resolve intellectual conflicts resulting from the discrepancy between his Jewish upbringing and the propaganda he learned in the Soviet school system. The teachings of Chabad Chasidut helped him to reject atheistic indoctrination and at age 14 he became a Lubavitcher chasid. Later as a young man Rabbi Haskelevitch came to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where he now resides with his Russian-born wife Chaya Sara and their eight children. "I originally came to see if everything I had heard about the Rebbe was true. I came for a short visit and I never went back," he said. The Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty program is creating some controversy in several segments of Russian society. A newspaper article recently asserted that the chassidim are trying to destroy particularistic Russian nationalism by introducing the "dangerous" concept of a universal set of laws for all nations. A political party, the anti-Semitic Pamyat, after learning of the Jewish roots of the Russian Orthodox religion, is seeking to erase any trace of Jewish influence on its creed, thereby going back to Russian paganism. Gorbachev himself admitted, after having escaped a coup d'etat with his life, that he owed his survival to the fact that he was listening to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. "After Gorbachev admitted this, my program rose greatly in its popularity. I am convinced that Gorbachev had always been listening to me." Rabbi Haskelevitch asserted. To Rabbi Haskelevitch, however, the controversy surrounding his work is merely amusing. He is mostly concerned with reaching the average Russian citizens and educating them to understand spiritual concepts that they were denied access to for so long. That is why he has expanded his work to include an umbrella organization called H.O.A.S.C.A.N.I.M. (Hebrew Orthodox Assoc. for Societal and Cultural Advancement through National and International Media). HOASCANIM, which is the Hebrew word for activists, supports Radio Liberty and is publishing books and magazines in Russia as well as conducting lectures to the many groups which have recently formed to keep and learn more about the Seven Noahide Laws. Its objectives are to spread the teachings of Torah among Jews, to educate gentiles on the Seven Noahide Laws, and to dispel anti-Semitic myths. To what does Rabbi Haskelevitch attribute his success? "When we are talking to the deeply atheistic nations of the former Soviet empire, now miraculously turned anti-communist, about a religion of one G-d with one set of laws for all mankind, then this is an indication that we are living in the times right before the coming of the Messiah.( One world odor, One World Religion unto the flase Messiah that son of Perdition of the great apostasy) Actually, communism was the belief in a good future, a utopia. The idea of communism was that mankind could build a world that could become so prosperous that life could become better for all people. This is an idea that I underscore as coming from Judaism. We can use all of science and materialism for the good but first we must become better. That can only be through faith. This is a Messianic idea and it is a Jewish one that must be based on faith."

TORAH IS ALIVE, WELL, AND GROWING ON THE INTERNET
From South America to Canada and the South Pacific to the Mediterranean, Jews are turning on and tuning in to Torah over the Internet. Though many are Jews with a solid foundation in their faith, many are secular and just learning.
ISRAEL (PRWEB) November 19, 2003---It seems 5764 will be the year of explosive Torah growth on the Internet. No, not the traditional text essays, commentary and articles you can already find daily, but an explosion of interactive audio lectures. From South America to Canada and the South Pacific to the Mediterranean, Jews are turning on and tuning in to Torah over the Internet. Though many are Jews with a solid foundation in their faith, many are secular and just learning.
oral torah Mishnah of Talmud Bavli of the Pharisaic Chassidim
Audio, live broadcasts with participant interaction over the Internet has been for some years an untapped resource, but in the last two years it has come to the forefront of education. What makes it really wonderful is it doesn't matter if you are experienced in Gemara, or just starting to read Humash, there is something for everyone through an audio platform known as Paltalk.
The catalyst for this technology is a 39 year old Jewish man from Long Island. New York's own Jason Katz, an attorney and entrepreneur who developed Paltalk audio in 1998. Paltalk is an audio chat service which has hundreds of topics from food, to politics to hobbies. At any given time on Paltalk hundreds of thousands of people are speaking to one another-free of charge-across the globe. One of the most popular sections is religion. Inside this section you will find Judaism, and there you will find a virtual online Jewish community.
What has the Jewish world buzzing with excitement is that an increasing number of yeshivot are going online, offering shirum around the clock. Though you get all types of Jews (as well as the occasional non-Jew or self-professing friendly Noahide) the entire section is a Torah-true environment. The rabbis who speak come from an orthodox perspective and teach kosher Torah! Anyone can open up a room and talk, but more and more rooms are being purchased on Paltalk's premium business service by Jewish organizations. These are advertisement-free rooms open 24/6 solely for Torah education.
all others....all others are Hostile to jewry the gods....all others are "terrorist" all others are anti-Septic...anti serpent?
Recently the Yeshiva Hatefutsoth, the first yeshiva for baal teshuva ( Students of Baa'l) students founded on Mt. Zion in 1967 purchased a permanent presence in the Paltalk Judaism section. Now with Paltalk, no matter where in the world students are they can listen in and participate in shirum from the beit midrash in Jerusalem. On Friday you can tune in and listen to the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein giving a shiur from inside the Kever David HaMelech (Tomb of King David) in Jerusalem. The Rosh Yeshiva stated he sees Torah education through Paltalk as a way to fulfill the prophecy, "...for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
Oooops, out of Sion God's Holy Mountain in Heaven
Paltalk's Judaism section is moderated by two highly educated Jewish volunteers, Uri and Ephraim, who are founders of the respected anti-missionary organization known as Messiah Truth. Their group has developed original counter-missionary lectures and training, which are taught by Israeli and American Hebrew scholars, professors and Orthodox rabbis. The Messiah Truth room, the most popular room in the Judaism section, has brought many Jews back who had strayed to foreign religions. They are a huge success, even bringing Monsey's famous counter-missionary Rabbi Tovia Singer on as a regular broadcaster.
From Sephardim to Ashkenazim and from Hassidim of all branches, Paltalk allows Jews space to speak, teach the words of Hashem, and bring many lost Jews home. A most popular room on Paltalk is the late Sunday night Kabbalah lesson with Sephardi Rabbi Bar Tzadok of Chicago. He pulls no punches telling people what Kabbalah truly is from a Torah perspective-and how it's being exploited by Hollywood stars and their friends who open Kabbalah centers. Since last year the Breslov Hassidim have come on board, a large group of Israeli sabra yeshiva students, and graduates of Hadar Hatorah on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. On Saturday night, the motsi Shabbat Virtual Farbrengen room is open by the Lubavitch community. It's a room to ask questions, wish each other a Shavua Tov and listen to the latest in religious music. Hassidic stories are told, and people generally come there to have a good time.
Rabbi Fishel of Lakewood, New Jersey who organized Shema Yisrael Torah Network, recently opened a permanent presence on Paltalk. Fishel is best known for his Shulchan Aruch Learning Project which is endorsed by Israeli former chief rabbis Israel Lau and Ovadia Yossef. His organization which is based in Beit Vegan, Jerusalem operates one of the largest Torah-true Internet sites. Through the new Paltalk Shema Yisrael room, his staff of rabbi-educators will be providing shirum across the globe.
Each rabbi has a unique way of bringing the Torah to life. Rabbi Calev Kaplan has a smooth accented voice which broadcasts late into the night over Paltalk from the hills of Gush Etzion in a most eloquent manner. Rabbi David Botton of South Florida who teaches at Aish HaTorah and runs the Jewish education website TeachItToMe.com brings the words of Hashem to Paltalk in an interactive and exciting way.
Prior to online teaching, where did most secular Jews go to learn more about Judaism-to non Torah-true organizations, mostly liberal establishments, where they might not have been taught the truth. Now Jews even with little experience in learning can feel comfortable getting the truth about their own religion, and feel confident they are welcome to participate. It's difficult for a secular Jew to walk into an orthodox synagogue and start to learn from scratch, but here Jews in large numbers are learning, then going out to find their local orthodox shul! They are not learning Judaism from someone who spent $20,000 and three years in a classroom to purchase the title rabbi, they are learning from kosher teachers who grew up living as Jews, who have studied all their lives and have gone to respected Yeshivot.
In this world where we hear the Internet produces only evil, it is difficult to justify to those who might not be familiar with it. There are too many to name, but a short list of bios of some of the rabbis of this new electronic medium will help to paint a picture of the scope of the Torah education that is ongoing, and is in qualified and trusted hands. Paltalk Judaism teachers include: Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Goldstein, a musmach of Rabbi Henoch Lebovitch from the Chofetz Chaim Yeshiva; Rabbi Efraim Sprecher a student of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and former Professor of Judaic studies at Touro College in New York; Rabbi Emanuel Gentilcore of Jerusalem who was ordained by the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem; Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld is founder and Rosh Kollel of Kollel Iyun Hadaf, has been teaching Torah in Israel for over ten years; Rabbi Mordechai Ackerman who was ordained after 14 years as a student of the Sage and Rabbi Yisrael Gustman of Vilna; Rabbi Eliezer Schwartz received his smicha fro m Yeshivas Rabenu Yitzchak Elchanan at the hands of Rabbi Samuel Belkin, Rabbi Moshe Stazkes (Lomzer Rav) and Rabbi Yosef Ber Soloveitchik; Rabbi Aaron Lankry who was born in Morocco, and raised in New York. He received ordination from the Chief Rabbinate in Israel. He was the Rabbi at Ohel Leah in Hong Kong, and started the Menorah Academy in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Rabbi Lankry received his Ph.D. in Rabbinic Studies at Bais Medresh Gevoha in Lakewood, New Jersey, and is currently he is the Chief Rabbi at Kehilla Edmond J. Safra Synagogue in Aventura, Florida. These are only a selected list of the rabbinical staff which participate on Paltalk.
all Illumined by the Illumined angel of darkness
Audio Torah lessons over the Internet are here-and they are here to stay. An incredible amount of new people sign-on each day, and it's a tremendous mitsvah to participate either as a talmid or as a teacher. The Internet does not discriminate between the learned and the learning. It gives anyone with a computer access a chance to be a part of an educational event. The Internet is a tool from Hashem which when used properly can bring many lost Jews home. It gives many Jews the first chance at seeing the unbiased truth of their Torah.

Take Heed thou gods and their Proselytes of hell. The Time is Here, Now.
Matthew 24:
1: And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2: And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3: And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
They say...that Jesus is the Christ, but they decieve many who are complacent and apostate, unbelieving, with freemasonic Talmudic jewish fables
6: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
their wars, and lies for wars, and their invisible war on "Terrorism" against them who are opposed to the gods, who say they are jews who are no gods, but the seed of their father the murderer since the beginning
7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8: All these are the beginning of sorrows.
and they will build their wall and their military street, in the seventy weeks
9: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
because now, this moment, this day, if you are opposed to them who "Say" they are gods, shems, of their flesh ha-shem, you are called anti-shemitic...and if you are anti-shemitic of them who are gods, you have no place on their New World Order of Satan their god they have made the god of this world. If you stand firm in the Nmae of Jesus the Christ, they will slay you, starting very soon, but fear not, for they will be made to come and worship at your feet
10: And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
In Jesus the Christ Mighty Name they are now offended by the Oral tradition of the leaven of the Pharisees, but who warned them to flee from the evil to come?
11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
The Babylonian Network....TBN
12: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
iniquity is satan worship
13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
the Reward of Eternal life in Jesus the Christ the IAM
14: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
at the sixth Trumpet the angel is sent to preach the Gospel of Jesus the Christ and every ear will hear it
15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
the Moshiach of the jews of Mystery Babylon, standing as Christ
16: Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Jews who no longer believe the lies of the illumined rabbi's
17: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19: And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20: But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
because you will be judged according to you laws which have made the word of God of none effect
21: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
see jewish sofiet communist talmudic union of serpents.....which was a forerunner of their global godhood
22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
those who are blessed who waited and came to the 1335 days
23: Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25: Behold, I have told you before.
26: Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
he is not the jewish moshiach anointed in the chamber of hewn stone
27: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
every eye shall see Jesus the Christ the WORD of God and every knee shall bow, even them who are dead in the ground who pierced the Lord, when they put his blood on their hands and their children's hands
28: For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31: And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32: Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34: Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37: But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39: And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40: Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41: Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42: Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43: But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44: Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45: Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46: Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47: Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48: But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49: And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50: The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51: And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We may no longer see the Rebbe with our eyes, but his spirit lives in our hearts and in our deeds. The Rebbe, like my mentor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., worked every day of his life for what Dr. King used to call "the beloved community" - a community at peace with itself, a country and a world in which people are not judged by the color of their skin but by the quality of their character.
- introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
- A BILL
- To authorize the establishment within the Department of State of an Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, to require inclusion in annual Department of State reports of information concerning acts of anti-Semitism around the world, and for other purposes.
- Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
- SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
- This Act may be cited as the `Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2004'.
- SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
- Congress makes the following findings:
- (1) Acts of anti-Semitism in countries throughout the world, including in some of the world's strongest democracies, have increased significantly in frequency and scope over the last several years.
- (2) During the last three months of 2003 and the first three months of 2004, there were numerous instances of anti-Semitic violence around the world, including the following incidents:
- (A) In Putrajaya, Malaysia, on October 16, 2003, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia told the 57 national leaders assembled for the Organization of the Islamic Conference that Jews `rule the world by proxy', and called for a `final victory' by the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, who, he said, `cannot be defeated by a few million Jews'.
- (B) In Istanbul, Turkey, on November 15, 2003, simultaneous car bombs exploded outside two synagogues filled with worshippers, killing 24 people and wounding more than 250.
- (C) In Hobart, Australia, on January 5, 2004, poison was used to ignite and burn anti-Semitic slogans into the lawns of the Parliament House of the state of Tasmania.
- (D) In St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 15, 2004, vandals desecrated approximately 50 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery, painting the stones with swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti.
- (E) In Toronto, Canada, from March 19 to March 21, 2004, vandals attacked a Jewish school, a Jewish cemetery, and area synagogues, painting swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans on the walls of a synagogue and on residential property in a nearby, predominantly Jewish, neighborhood.
- (F) In Toulon, France, on March 23, 2004, a Jewish synagogue and community center were set on fire.
- (3) Anti-Semitism has at times taken the form of vilification of Zionism, the Jewish national movement, and incitement against Israel.
- (4) Anti-Semitism is also increasingly emanating from the Arab and Muslim world on a sustained basis, including through books distributed by government-owned publishing houses in Egypt and other Arab countries.
- (5) In November 2002, state-run television in Egypt broadcast the anti-Semitic series entitled `Horseman Without a Horse', which is based upon the fictitious conspiracy theory known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Protocols have been used throughout the last century by despots such as Adolf Hitler to justify violence against Jews.
- (6) In November 2003, Arab television featured an anti-Semitic series entitled `Ash-Shatat' (`The Diaspora'), which depicts Jewish people conspiring to gain control of the world.
- (7) The sharp rise in anti-Semitic violence has caused international organizations such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to elevate and bring renewed focus to this issue, including the convening by the OSCE in June 2003 of a conference in Vienna dedicated solely to the issue of anti-Semitism.
- (8) On April 28-29, 2004, in Berlin, Germany, the OSCE will again convene a conference dedicated to addressing the problem of anti-Semitism, with the United States delegation to be led by former Mayor of New York City Ed Koch.
- (9) The United States has vigorously supported efforts to address anti-Semitism through bilateral relationships and interaction with international organizations such as the OSCE, the European Union, and the United Nations.
- (10) Congress has consistently supported efforts to address the rise in anti-Semitic violence. During the 107th Congress, both the Senate and the House of Representatives passed resolutions expressing strong concern about the sharp escalation of anti-Semitic violence in Europe and calling on the Department of State to thoroughly document the phenomenon.
- SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
- It is the sense of Congress that--
- (1) the United States should continue to vigorously support efforts to combat anti-Semitism worldwide through bilateral relationships and interaction with international organizations such as the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE);
- (2) the United States delegation to the OSCE conference in Berlin should advocate for the appointment of a High Commissioner on anti-Semitism;
- (3) the President should direct the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to introduce in the most appropriate forum in the United Nations a measure condemning anti-Semitism;
- (4) the Secretary of State should establish a permanent office in the Department of State to monitor and combat anti-Semitism; and
- (5) the Department of State should thoroughly document acts of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic incitement that occur around the world.
- SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF OFFICE TO MONITOR AND COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM.

- `(3) coordinating and assisting in the preparation of that portion of the report required by section 102(b)(1)(C) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6412(b)(1)(C)) relating to an assessment and description of the nature and extent of acts of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic incitement that occur in foreign countries for inclusion in the annual international religious freedom report.
