Jewish History
Maharal Meets Emperor (1592)

Rabbi Judah ben Bezalel Lowe, known as the Maharal of Prague was famous among Jews and non-Jews alike. He was a mystic who was revered for his holiness and Torah scholarship, as well as his proficiency in mathematics, astronomy, and other sciences. Eventually, word of his greatness reached the ears of Emperor Rudolph II.

The Emperor invited the Maharal to his castle on February 23, 1592. There they conversed for one and a half hours, and developed a mutual respect for each other.

Rabbi Judah Lowe made use of his excellent connections with the Emperor, often intervening on behalf of his community when it was threatened by anti-Semitic attacks or oppression.

Daily Thought
Purim Backwards

On Purim, it’s a mitzvah to hear the story of Esther read from a scroll—called a “megillah”—both by day and by night.

The Talmud tells us, “If you read the story backwards, you haven’t read the story.” (Megillah 2a.)

Of course, that means you have to read the story in the order it’s written.

But the Baal Shem Tov gave a deeper meaning to the words of our sages:

If you read the story of Esther and of her people, of the rise of Haman and his own self-destruction, of secret heroes and hidden miracles…

…if you read all this as though it was all a backstory —something that occurred a long time ago and now provides only historical context —you haven’t read the story.

Because Jews have never had the luxury to retell this story as something we have put behind us.

Haman persists to reappear in his many incarnations, as a dictator, as an ideology, as the antipathy that surrounds us, or, most pernicious of all, as the cold apathy that chills our heart from within.

Both as a nation, as well as individuals, we rely every day on hidden miracles, often through the agency of secret Esthers and Mordechais, and always by divine intervention, simply to remain the nation we were chosen to be.

A Jew looks around and discovers: We are standing in the middle of the story of Purim right now.

—Keter Shem Tov, Hosafot, 100. Likutei Sichot vol. 6, p. 189, 385. Ibid vol. 7, p. 332. Purim, 5736, 5742.

    Our Prayer and hope: All the gates to the Har ha-Bait have to be opened for Jews and non-Jews seven days in the week 24 hours a day. The Jews need to have the freedom to go with Tefillin, Tallit and Torah Scroll up on the Mountain to serve Hashem. And do קידה ('Kidah' prostate, laying down, before Hashem) Everyone showing his/her respect for the Jewish and all other religions. But NOT for the words/deeds/sins spoken against any word of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu and the 'real' teachings of the Jewish Rabbis. The Jews must be the guardians of the Har ha-Bait.
    תפילתנו ותקוותנו: כל שערי הר הבית צריכים להיפתח עבור יהודים ולא-יהודים שבעה ימים בשבוע 24 שעות ביממה. ליהודים צריך להיות חופש ללכת עם תפילין, טלית וספר תורה במעלה ההר כדי לשרת את ה' ולקוד קידה .מתוך הפגנת כבוד ליהודים ולכל הדתות האחרות, אבל לא למילים/למעשים/לחטאים הנאמרים נגד תורת משה רבנו. מלמודי רבנים, היהודים חייבים להיות שומרי הר הבית.

I am not always in agreement with a contributor as long he/she doesn't 'preach' Avoda Zara or Lashon Hare he/she is most welcome to tell what he/she likes to tell. This blog is devoted to The Lost Sheep from the House of Israel. To give them information on how to come back. And how to come to the choice again: Exo 24:7 And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that Adonai has spoken we shall do, and obey.”  On the Har HaBait. And developing their own identity as real Ephraimites, restoring their Kingdom...... Near, as a defensive shield, in friendship and Love to the Jewish State of Israel.

And the group on the website: https://harhabaitjewishsovereignforallisrael.blogspot.com/ Are devoted to The Lost Sheep from the House of Israel. To give them information on how to come back...... The most necessary step, most important, is to come to the choice again: Exo 24:7 And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that Adonai has spoken we shall do, and obey.”  Today there is no better place to come to that choice, and that is: On Har HaBait. And developing your own identity as real Ephraimites, by strong and good Torah study. See:  https://harhabaitjewishsovereignforallisrael.blogspot.com/p/torah-study.html  For to receive your place in the (coming) Kingdom of Messiah outside the modern state of Israel. The closer you come to that is by looking...

Yahuda101 History of the Modern state of Israel

  History of the Modern state of Israel By Yahuda101 Timeline Key moments in the Jewish state's history. 1882-1903: First Aliyah The First Aliyah brings an estimated 25,000-35,000 immigrants to Palestine, the majority of them fleeing anti-Jewish pogroms in Eastern Europe. The influx of immigrants into the Land of Israel during the years 1882-1903 is known as “The First Aliyah.” This was the first large wave of immigrants that were motivated by nationalism. During these years some 25,000 Jews emigrated from Russia and Rumania, and 2,500 arrived from Yemen.   Primary Motivations  Immigrants of the First Aliyah arrived in two waves, stimulated by pogroms and violence against the Jews.  The first influx followed pogroms in Russia in 1881-1882, and the second mass influx from Russia took place during 1890-1891 as a result of anti-Jewish legislation and the expulsion of Jews from Moscow.  Immigration from Yemen was primarily motivated by messianic expectations.  ...

Julius I ask

 Julius I ask I ask By Julius I ask, what's the difference between a court put in place by a few, and a tyrant? What is the difference between a Prime Minister elected by a nation, and a court put in place by a few? A Democracy is governed by a Prime Minister that is elected by the nation, not by a court put in place by a few. A government that rules by a court is a Kritarchy! The government of Israel tries to be inclusive and include all walks of life within Israel regardless of religion, even though Israel is supposed to be a Jewish nation. This would be a good thing if the people who are voted into office truly loved Israel, appears that some don't! Many of the left wing owe allegiance to those who wish to eradicate Israel off the map and kill all Jews. Not just in Israel, but worldwide! This Jew says good luck with that! WON’T HAPPEN! It appears that many within the court hates Israel, and tries to do everything they can to cause the collapse of Israel from within...
