I am accepting your invitation to write you in private in your lastest entry in “Torah Spirituality to the Nations” forum. I am DavidNavi, just for your records.
It is very apparent you are very zealous for the Torah and for Judaism, and I can understand that. You must feel like Yirmiyahu when he said (in 20:9), “…[His word] would be like a burning fire in my heart, stored in my bones, and though I might struggle to contain it, I could not.” The zeal you have burst out of you with such passion you think the only way to communicate is by yelling. But doesn’t Mishlei (Proverbs) say in 25:15, “By forebearance a ruler is mollified, and a soft tongue breaks strong anger.”? Then doesn’t the author of Mishlei go on to say in verses 21-22 of the same chapter, “If your foe is hungry, feed him bread; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will be scooping coals [to heap] on his head, and HaShem will reward you.”? The footnote in the Stone Edition of the Tanakh to verses 21 & 22 states, “If you are good to your enemy, he will be ashamed of his behavior toward you.” Aren’t we to bear the Torah to the Goyim as a light declaring the Greatness of HaShem? And then they will in turn come to us and beg us to teach them of our G-d, as prophesied by Z’Charyah?
Is, or should the Torah the be welded as a club in our hands that drives the Nations away from Hashem? Or rather should it be a beacon beckoning them to come?
Didn’t Yonah have the same problem when he was sent to the wicked city of Nineveh? Yonah states in 4:2, “…for I knew that You are a gracious and merciful G-d, slow to anger, abundant in kindness, and relent from doing harm.” HaShem answered in 4:11, “And I — shall I not take pity upon Nineveh teh great city, in wich there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right hand from their left…?” HaShem was merciful to Nineveh and showed mercy to one of the most wicked cities of its time, because they repented at the word given through Yonah.
Also, doesn’t Vayikra state, “You shall not take revenge and you shall not bear a grudge against the members of your people; you shall love your fellow as yourself — I am HaShem.” (19:18) Stone footnote, “R’ Akiva sid that this is the fundamental rule of Torah (Rashi; Sifra). Hillel paraphrased: ‘What is hateful to you, do not do to others’ (Shabbos 31a). We must wish upon others the same degree of success and properity we wish upon ourselves and we must treat others with the utmost respect and consideration (Ramban).” How do you feel when others yell at you? Is it comforting? Or does it stir up anger? Aren’t we to treat others, even the Goyim with respect, or are Akiva, Hillel and Ramban all incorrect?
Not only are we to bear Torah to the Nations, but we are to be living examples of the very character of HaShem. Is HaShem harsh, and angry – yes, at times – but isn’t He more often “merciful, slow to anger” and “abundant in kindness”?
When you post on “Torah Spirituality to the Nations” remember where you might be if it weren’t for the chesed of HaShem when He made you a Jew. Slow down when you type your messages of wisdom for us. In your zeal you type so fast it is often difficult to read your posts; the words run together and there are many misspellings. Let us see the light of HaShem and His Torah shining forth as you share the wisdom, and zeal He has given you. And most importantly, make sure you reply to the correct thread.
I honor you and ask that HaShem shine upon you and grant you peace, as we pray every Shabbat.
L’Shalom,

BUT FOR NOW A SIMPLE ANSWER FROM ME THE BLOGGER ‘DAVID’ AKA DACON9:
-
WE JEWS GAVE WISDOM PROPHESY AND WEALTH TO EGYPT,THEY GAVE US SLAVERY.
-
WE GAVE WISDOM, WEALTH AND EDUCATION TO SPAIN THEY CONVERTED OR KILLED US
-
WE GAVE SOPHISTICATION WEALTH INTELLECT TO GERMANY THEY DESCIMATED US.
-
WE GAVE BREAD WATER MONEY AND JOBS TO GAZA ARABS AND THEY GAVE US DEATH.
NOW MY ”ZEAL”IS BEING PAINTED AS HATEFUL AND REVENGING . that is exactly what WEAKENS THE RESOLVE OF JEWS TO TAKE THE STAND AT THE MOUNTAIN TOP, EVEN THOUGH THE MAIN ISSUE WAS REACHING OUT TO GOYIM AND DISTORTED QUOTES TO JEWS in that forum AND WHY IS THAT BEING ALLOWED, ,,INSTEAD I RECEIVE ONE SIDED QUOTES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BOOK, NOT GLANCING OVER TO THE PAGE ON THE RIGHT.
THE WORLD LOVES A WINNER AND INSTEAD WE CRINGE IN FEAR OF OFFENDING THE OFFENDERS, NAMELY IN THIS DISCUSSION, THE XTIANS ,MESSIANICS AND DISTORTED JEWS. We are GDs special people, arent we? Whats the problem? I owe nothing to nobody except cordiality.They owe JEWS and until you let it be known they will continue to step on us.I did not say be rude or disrespectful. I said to be BOLD AND DARING. My business lunches with goyeem are held only in glatt kosher resturants. Even with arabs.They ask ME questions about OUR bright lights and I tell ‘em ! we are a special nation that received from G’D DIRECTLY, THE LAWS OF LIFE’
SOPHISTICATION IS THE ROOT OF DESTRUCTION FOR JUDAISM IN THIS WORLD. THE GERMAN JEWS WERE THE MOST SOPHICTICATED OF ALL JEWS. ITS TIME JEWS SHOUTED FROM THE TOPS OF MOUNTAINS,ITS TIME WE SPEAK NOT ONLY SPEAK UP, BUT SPEAK OUT. ITS THAT TIME NOW. JUDAISM IS BEING ATTACKED FROM EVERY ANGLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOUT..”YOU ARE WRONG” ,”THIS IS THE WAY AND THE ONLY WAY”. ” ITS TIME” ..WE ARE NOW BEING TESTED FROM ABOVE, DO WE SPEAK IN DEFENCE OF TORAH???. THE BLURRING OF SEPARATIONS AND OF REACHING OUT IS A WASTE OF TIME. WHY ARE WE REACHING OUT AND NOT REACHING IN? WHE ARE WE LOSING JEWS WHILE YOU ARE REACHING OUT TO STRANGERS TO VALIDATE OR SHOW HOW KIND WE ARE.
ITS OUR TIME TO SHOUT . THIS IS IT ! WE ARE SEPARATE AND NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR CHURCHES AND WAYS. TORAH SAID WE WILL BE FEW AND YOU WANT TO GO AGAINST TORAH BY BRINGING IN QUANTITY. TORAH SAID WE ARE QUALITY NOT QUANTITY
We Jews become the weaker ones by allowing these infiltrators into our homes and lives and shuls. We jews through the associations with excuses of ‘a jew is a jew is a jew’ ARE THE WEAKER. YES ONLY IN HEAVEN , BUT DOWN HERE A JEW IS A JEW *ONLY BY ACCEPTING,MAYBE NOT ALWAYS PRACTICING BUT ACCPETING THE TORAH, *UNTOUCHED UNALTERED… THE OTHER jews are no longer jews here, DEVAREEM DEUT SAYS WE SHOULD SEND THE WISEST OF OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP.**IF POSSIBLE TO HELP THEM**.
We ’civilians’ MUST TURN INSIDE OUR NATION TO EDUCATE OUR REMAINING JEWS IF THEY WANT TO RECEIVE THE HONORS OF A JEW. THE DOORS ARE OPEN WHEN THOSE WHO STEPPED AWAY WANT TO COME BACK .TELL THEM ” COME TO A CLASS WITH ME AND YOU WILL SEE”. ”LETS TALK TO MY RABBI”, Reach out to non jews? WHY ? if they come to you and ask its permissable, other then that,,,why? You reach out to a non jew and lose 10 born jews by neglect…JEWS do not proslytize.
ITS TIME WE MAKE A STANCE. A JEW IS NOT A JEW IS NOT A JEW when they deny Torah…. AND A XTIAN IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO JUDAISM. WE ARE SEPARATE. PERIOD. JEWS ARE NOT UNDER ROMAN RULE ANYMORE THAT WE OWE ANYTHING TO NON JEWS
AND I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO VALIDATE MY JUDAISM OR COMPARE OR REACH OUT TO BE KIND. I WILL NOT REACH OUT TO BE CRUEL.I WILL MAKE THE LINE OF SEPARATION CLEARLY THOUGH.
I WILL BE CORDIAL WITH THE FENCE BETWEEN US. I SHAKE THEIR HAND THEN WALK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THEIR CHOICE IS TO FOLLOW ME OR NOT.WHEN THEY FOLLOW ME THEY EITHER LISTEN OR I WALK AWAY. YES WE ARE THE LIGHT ,,,UNTO ”OURSELFS” FIRST !. WHEN WE SHINE BRIGHT, THEY… WILL ”FEEL’ OUR BRIGHTNESS AND ASK, THE SAME WAY THEY ASKED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE GIVING OF TORAH. ”WHATS GOIN ON?’ THE ANSWER WAS AND IS ”THE JEWS ARE RECEIVING THE LAWS.
”TODAY GOYIM SHOULD BE SAYING,,THE JEWS HAVE THE LAWS
THE NON JEWS WILL SAY: ”THE JEWS ARE THE LIGHT,SEE HOW BRIGHT HE IS SHINING,,,I AM GOING TO ZION WITH THE NATION OF ISRAEL, DO YOU WANT TO GO WITH ME? PUT DOWN YOUR CROSSES AND IDOLS , I WANT TO BE WITH THE ONE TRUE G’D OF ISRAEL.
THE GOYEEM WILL NOT SAY IT UNTIL WE BELIEVE IT OURSELFS.
SOPHISTICATION DESTROYED US. NEVER AGAIN. NOW WE SHOUT LOUD AND CLEAR. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY, HEAR ME NOW LOVERS OF ZION.
IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR A JEW TO HEAR ANY TORAH FROM A NON JEW.
ALL COMMENTS WELCOMED
ONE MISSIONARY AFTER MAYBE 20 BACK AND FORTH EMAILS TOLD ME THAT (”BARUCH HASHEM) ‘YOU ARE MUST HARDER THEN I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE”. THAT ONE MISSIONARY FROM MY POSTINGS IN THE NEWS WEBSITES..
STRANGE THOUGH BEING ARUTZ SHEVA IS SO RIGHT WING. I THINK THEY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THEMSELFS OVER THE NOAHIDE MOVMENT NEGLECTING THE *TORAH MOVEMENT THAT MOSES LEFT US 3300 YRS AGO*
FROM ELISHEVA WHO ALSO IS SO UPSET : Her Comment:
Top rabbis participate in interfaith symposiums supposed to forster understanding, tolerance, and bring peace to the world!!! I see no difference between that and the support our government gives to our enemies. Just one week after the Gaza was was stopped, we gave Hamas $43.000.000.
A few months ago, Rabbi Shaar Yishuv HaCohen was Israel’s delegate to the Vatican, whose question was “What does the Torah mean for the Jews?” He spoke there about the Holocaust. What did the Pope do in response? He “rehabilitated” a Holocaust denier – slap in the face.
How many more slaps will Israel endure before it understands what Jewish pride means?
