Rabbiner Dr. Raphael BREUER: Die Benediktion gegen die Ketzer


 Rabbiner Dr. Raphael BREUER

(1881-1932)

 

Die Benediktion gegen die Ketzer

 

 In: „Jüdische Monatshefte“ Jahrgang 5, Heft 11

 

Die 19. Benediktion, zugefügt an den ursprünglich 18 Benediktionen, „Schemoneh Esreh“ die wir dreimal täglich Richtung Jerusalem stehend, beten wird von viele routinemäßig herunter geprasselt, Diese Kategorie Betern meinen damit sei der Pflicht erfüllt, ahnen nichts von der tiefen geschichtlichen Zusammenhang und der aktuellen Bedeutung und Erforderlichkeit dieser Benediktion.

 Das ist kaum verwunderlich wenn man folgender Paradox bedenkt:

 In den Reihen der Orthopraxie der Gegenwart wird weltweit  identisch die selbe Schemoneh Esreh“, mit identischer Wortlaut, gebetet durch religiöse Zionisten und deren fromme Nachschlepper einerseits, durch die antizionistischen Thoratreuen Juden anderseits.

 Welche Ketzer der Gegenwart sollen geflucht werden? Etwa die Heidenrebellen (von N. Birnbaum geprägten Begriff) ? Und wenn bis in die Knesseth haMinim Ultraorthodoxe Rabbinern kollaborieren?

 Rabbiner Dr. Raphael BREUER gibt uns schlüssige Antworte auf diese Überlegungen. Zu lesen in Beilage.

Authentic Jewish Position on Al-Aqsa

Authentic Jewish Position on Al-Aqsa

 

 


Letter by Rabbi Josef Chaim Sonnenfeld, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem in 1931

Dec. 6, 1931 - Jerusalem...
To the honorable Muslim Congress of Jerusalem,

 Orthodox Jewry in Palestine, under the auspices of the worldwide Orthodox organization Agudas Yisroel, is honored to greet the Muslim Congress in the Holy City of Jerusalem. May it be G-d’s will that this gathering of Muslim leaders bring blessing to the city and the land chosen by G-d, and help to bring about peace among all its inhabitants.

 The Congress will deal with the question of the Islamic holy sites in the Holy Land. In regard to this, it is important to us to declare before all those gathered, and before all of the Muslim world, that Jews have no intention to challenge the rights of Muslims to their holy sites, or even to demand any rights to these places, just as we do not want others to challenge our rights to sites holy to us.

 We completely deny any suspicion that we want to demand rights to your holy site that is called “the Al-Aqsa Mosque” and the other holy sites located on the Temple Mount compound.

 As far as the Western Wall, the place from which the Divine Presence never departed, our only wish is that we be allowed the same privilege as was allowed our grandfathers – to pour out our hearts in prayer respectfully, without disturbance, before G-d who dwells in this place.

 We hope that a spirit of peace will envelop the Congress, helping to remove the suspicions harbored in the hearts of each segment of the population against the other. May the Holy One, blessed is He, spread His canopy of peace over all the inhabitants of the land, giving success to its building and flowering for the good of all.

Comments

True Torah Jews (2016)

Upon request by the Jerusalem chief rabbi and his rabbinical court, a major ad campaign will commence in Arabic media stating the prohibition for Jews to ascend the Temple Mount, and to emphasize the wholehearted intention of True Torah Jews to live in peace with all!

Since a majority of the latest violence has been in regard to the Temple Mount, the Jerusalem rabbis feel that clarifying the prohibition on ascending the Mount, and the wish to live in peace, should - with G-D’s help - hopefully calm the situation.

2 other interesting comments from an honest Jew

Binyomin Sherber Everyone knows that the only thing that will calm the situation is the dismantlement of the Zionist State, not merely the issue of the Al Aqsa. Besides, by asserting that a certain segment of the population are not involved in the Al Aqsas provocations would suggest that OTHER segments of the Jewish population are the real "bad guys" who DO approve of going up to the Al Aqsa, and this would give a misimpression that the rabbis suggest the uprising target other Jews instead of the black hat ones. And since the article in the Al Quds newspaper does not include the signatures of the rabbis involved, there is no way of knowing who authorized it and whether Palestinians are expected to distinguish between Agudist Jews and Eyda Charedis Jews, or whether the article speaks on behalf of both segments. Plus if the article condemns settlers, the Palestinians already know that major settlements include "ultra-Orthodox" Jews who do not go to Al Aqsa, so what happens then? Especially since this implies that the Eyda Charedis recognizes the idea of a two state solution implicitly.

Binyomin Sherber There will never be a calming of the situation as long as there is a Zionist state that continues to oppress, steal, expel, dehumanize and mistreat millions of Palestinians, including millions of refugees who are denied the right to return to their homeland of Palestine.

Below: see attached that the notorious article of a Zionist newspaper which is addressed to Arabs.

Whoever wrote this has decided that "Haredi" Jews are valuable...meaning that the rest of the Jews are hefker...this is absolute kefira... ["nachnu al-harediin......"] 

Another interesting comment from MYZ

 To say that “Chareidim are not Zionists” is the NKI/Natruna nonsense. It isn’t true that these Haredim are non-Zionists or anti-Zionists. Who are reading Mishpacha, if not Chareidi Zionists? Moreover:

 1- These Haredim are as much Zionists as the Zionists they are accusing

2- These Haredim who published the article do not claim to be non-Zionists, just that contrary to the non-Haredi Zionists, they don’t ascend the Har HaBayis. According to them, the intifada of knives we are seeing now was caused by Jews ascending the Har HaBayis. So, they believe because Charedim don’t ascend the Har HaBayis, the Arabs shouldn't stab them, which is complete nonsense, because ascending the Har HaBayis isn’t the only issue and because Haredim, as any other Zionists, are contributing to the colonization of Palestine. So, why shouldn’t they be attack by the Arabs? Which right do they have for asking such thing, seeing that they are as much Zionists as any other Zionist?

3- To claim that Chareidim don’t ascend the Har HaBayis is a complete lie. Who are the guys on the Har HaBayis? They are Haredim!
