I shall be Sanctified
As we near the end of the book of Leviticus it is, perhaps, a good time to step back and marvel at what we have been encountering on a weekly basis since we first read the opening words, "And He called to Moses, and the L-rd spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting..." (ibid 1:1) Traditionally, the book of Leviticus is also referred to as the Book of the Priests, (Torat Kohanim), because of the detailed instructions imparted within its words to the priests who man the Divine service in the Tabernacle, (and later, Holy Temple). But to grasp the entire depth and breadth of the book of Leviticus, we must hearken back once again to the electrifying words spoken by G-d to Israel as they faced Mount Sinai: "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." (Exodus 19:6) As exhilarating and daunting as these words are, so full with challenge and promise, on the face of it, their true import, the secret of how to bring these words to life, to our lives and how to live these words, are revealed throughout the book of Leviticus, from its first words to its last. For Leviticus is not merely a manual for the Kohanim, it is a guide to leading a life of holiness for every human being.
In the book of Exodus we witness an enslaved family become a liberated and independent people. In Leviticus we are instructed how to transform ourselves from being a liberated and independent people to becoming a holy nation. In the book of Exodus the children of Israel busy themselves with the task of constructing the Tabernacle and the vessels for the Divine service. In Leviticus we learn how to take this Tabernacle of wood and skins, and breath life into it, filling it, and the nation, with the spirit of the living G-d , enveloping our lives in His presence, as surely and as vitally as we are enveloped in the air that we breath, that fills our lungs and grants us life.
The current Torah reading of parashat Emor, (Leviticus 21:1-24:23), opens with the admonition to Kohanim not to defile themselves through contact with a dead corpse. And while these instructions are specific to the Kohanim, the message applies to all Israel and to all who attach themselves to the G-d of Israel. Death is the ultimate illusion of finality and of disconnect from G-d . To accept death as the end of life is to set a limit and a border to G-d's embrace of all creation. As if to say that G-d can create a living thing and then just let it slip away beyond His grasp. The only thing truly morbid about death is this very thought. Therefore, G-d's instruction to the priests to keep aloof from the seductive illusion of death is no less an imperative to all His children. By doing so the priests maintain their integrity as priests, and the people of Israel become the holy nation that G-d intended.
In this single commandment we see the twofold nature of the book of Leviticus, how it imparts spiritual life both to the Kohanim and to the entire nation; how it instructs us to be holy by clinging to Him, and by separating ourselves from all that claims to be beyond G-d's purview. The modern proposition of a secular entity in life, parallel to, or even superior to, the realm of G-d's omnipresence, is utterly rejected by Leviticus. And so too, is the idea of the nation of Israel, somehow void of, or bereft of the Holy Temple. It is no coincidence that Leviticus is the heart, the very center of the Five Books of Moses, and it is no coincidence that this heart consists of two sides, the service of the Holy Temple, and the obligations of the nation. For when the nation and the Temple beat as one heart, the people of Israel live, and the spirit of G-d fills our very being.
Tune in to this week's live Pesach Sheni Temple Talk as Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven gear up to celebrate the exciting, invigorating Holiday of Second Chances: Never give up! That's the special message of the Second Passover. The fine art of living is the theme of this week's Torah portion. We are dedicated to life, and must never be distracted by the illusion of death. These are the special instructions given to the Kohanim, the priests who officiate in the Holy Temple. But we can all aspire to that same heightened level of reality by observing Hashem's cycle of the seasons as outlined in this Torah portion, and by internalizing the message of the Holy Temple as it is embodied by the Menorah and the Showbread.

Project Heritage: Some months ago, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced a new government program in which Israel's most cherished and revered sites of national heritage would be receiving special attention for the purpose of refurbishing the sites, improving access to the sites and encouraging people to visit the sites. Yet, inexplicably, the Prime Minister left the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth, off the list! We have an opportunity to try to correct this grievous omission: Representatives of the Temple Mount Lobby will be meeting next week with the members of Knesset who are the co-chairmen of the parliamentary committee which is overseeing the implementation of the Heritage Site Plan. We aim to present the Knesset members and the Prime Minister with a petition containing no less than 10,000 signatures. Your signature is required! Help us to make change. Help us to put the heart of the nation of Israel back on top of the national agenda. Click here to sign the petition.

How are we to ascertain the true identity of each individual stone? Why even the most ancient of Jewish sources, the three Aramaic translations of Torah seem to disagree on which stones are to be used. And even the greatest Torah sages of old seem to be proposing different stones and even different sets of criteria for determining the stones. Yet the Great Rambam seems to take the identity of the stones for granted. How do we solve a two-thousand year old mystery?" Click here to view.
As a nation of priests, we are instructed to deal with the art of living, and not to be swept away by the debilitating illusion of death. All that Blessings from the holy city of Jerusalem,

You Shall be Holy
"You shall be holy, for I, the L-rd, your G-d, am holy." (Leviticus 19:2) Iyar 8, 5770/April 22, 2010 24th day of the Omer This past Tuesday Israel celebrated her independence and this coming Shabbat Jews around the world will be reading chapters sixteen through twenty of the book of Leviticus, the (double) section known as Acharei Mot-Kedoshim. The second half of the reading, Kedoshim, repeatedly exhorts the children of Israel to be holy - kedoshim - "for I your G-d am holy." This recalls the words G-d spoke to the nation soon after its deliverance from the Egyptian servitude, "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." (Exodus 19:6) What is the connection between holiness and nationhood? What is the connection between Yom Ha'atzmaut - Israel Independence Day - and the Torah reading of Acharei Mot-Kedoshim? A nation can either be free, or subjugated; independent, or under the thumb of a foreign power. A mutual exclusivity exists between freedom and servitude. Therefore, whatever events lead up to a nation's becoming independent, whether it be the ten plagues, the offering of the Pascal lamb, or the 1948 War of Independence, one moment a nation is still serving another nation, and the next moment it is not. But as we have learned from our Passover experience and the ensuing forty-nine days of gradual spiritual preparation for the receiving of Torah at Mount Sinai, that "freedom moment," that moment of casting off our oppressors does not necessarily prepare us for, nor promise for us, a future as a free people. Much spiritual work awaits us. As our Torah reading teaches us, the guarantor for liberty is holiness: "You shall be holy, for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy." (Leviticus 19:2) But we are mere human beings, flesh and blood and nothing more. How can we possibly be holy as G-d is holy? There is no more irrefutable evidence of G-d's limitless love for mankind than in His insistence that we can indeed be holy, not in spite of our humanity, but because of our humanity. Only by realizing our limitations can we transcend our finitude, and by doing so become holy. Our holiness is not manifest beyond the horizon or over the sea, but right here, in society, in how we behave toward G-d, ourselves, and our fellow man. By transcending the evil inclination within ourselves urging and prodding us on to be self-interested and self-serving, we create bonds between ourselves and others, thereby forging a society and a nation that in turn can shake off the impositions and interference of other nations. By being holy individuals we create a holy society. And as a holy society we enhance and ennoble the individuals in our society. This is why G-d, in exhorting us to be holy as He is holy, exhorts us to be honest in our use of weights and measure, to honor the elderly and the impoverished, to be intolerant of idolatry and charlatanism. This is the path to true freedom and independence. The Hebrew word for holiness - kadosh - literally means to be separate or distinct. By separating ourselves from the greed and lethargy of the modern world, in which the credo, "What's in it for me?" rules the day, we become holy. By distinguishing ourselves though our care and compassion for others, through our scrupulous adherence to G-d's word, and by maintaining the integrity and honesty prescribed by Torah for all our transactions with others, we create a holy society, breathing real life into our nation. "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." (ibid) G-d presents the children of Israel not with a prophetic vision, but with a fact of life: this people can and will survive and thrive only as a holy nation. This is the only option afforded Israel. Less than holy means less than free, less than independent. Servitude and oppression beckon us through the politically correct bon-tons of self aggrandizement and self righteous judgment of others. By creating a society imbued with brotherly love we separate ourselves from these corrosive forces. This week Israel turned sixty two years old. It is not the strength of Israel's army that guarantees her liberty, but the holiness of her selfless soldiers. It is not the strength of her prospering economy that ensures her independence, but the unflagging dedication of her people to come to the aid of those less fortunate. It is not a dry mechanical adherence to the letter of G-d's law that distinguishes Israel from her detractors, but the living Torah that is shaping hearts and souls in the land of Israel: A holy nation at home in the world! |
| Tune in to this week's gala Israeli Independence Day Temple Talk as Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven reflect on the Divine gift of the State of Israel at 62. All prevarication aside, the state of Israel is a Divine gift, a manifestation of G-d's love for the Jewish people. Isn't it time displaced diaspora Jews realized this and came home? Why the month of Iyar, the month of healing, preparation, and anticipation, is the perfect time for the establishment of the State of Israel. Do you know? King Solomon knew! |
 This week also features the new Light to the Nations teaching by Rabbi Chaim Richman, entitled, "The Inner Meaning of the Stones, Part II: The High Priest bears the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart and upon his shoulders. Why did G-d choose stones to embody the twelve sons of Israel, and for what reason does the High Priest bear their names as he performs the Divine service before the G-d of Israel?" Click here to view. |
| A Call to Holiness: "You shall be holy for I, HaShem, your G-d, am holy." (Lev. 19:1) A tall order, for sure, but G-d seems to think that we're up for it. He calls upon and expects that each and every individual, as well as the entire assembly of Israel is capable of being holy and of leading holy lives. Being holy involves dedicating our entire souls and bodies to doing what's good in G-d's eyes, today and in this world.

Europe - not Hussein Obama - will force peace
Imposed Solution
Is Obama preparing to sacrifice Israel? Is he planning to impose a "solution"? According to Joel Mowbray in the Washington Times:
"Evidence is mounting that President Obama will unveil a new Middle East peace plan in the coming months. While a desire for peace is indeed admirable, such a move should be welcomed only by the enemies of America.Not only would such an attempt inevitably fail, but it would directly harm U.S. security by shifting our national focus away from very real - and far more dangerous - threats in the region.-Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973
Nearly two weeks ago, the New York Times and The Washington Post reported on the same day about a high-level meeting two weeks beforehand in which National Security Adviser Gen. James L. Jones had lobbied Mr. Obama to craft an American peace plan. Last Monday, J-Street, a left-wing Jewish group with close ties to the White House, ran a full-page ad in the New York Times urging Mr. Obama to impose "concrete plans for a two-state solution."
Mr. Obama himself further signaled something was in the works by stating at the close of a news conference last Tuesday that resolving the Middle East conflict was "a vital national security interest of the United States." Likely at the prodding of White House officials, the New York Times ran a front-page story two days later suggesting that an Obama peace plan could be drafted over the next few months and introduced this fall."

The Scriptures clearly support the seventh day Sabbath
Excerpt from email received:
My question to you now is what day do you go to church? If you don't mind sharing, by no means am I attacking, I just need scriptural feedback. Truthfully the argument over the day is getting so redundant it is beyond fathom...
Good morning,
There shouldn't be any argument or confusion over the Sabbath day, since both the Bible and history clearly prove the only biblical Sabbath is the seventh day Sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset).
Sunday is illegitimate and has been pimped by the Roman Catholic Cult and deviant daughters, misleading the masses, some blathering the lame excuse the Sabbath was "changed" due to the alleged authority of the RCC and others carelessly fall for the myth of a Sunday resurrection (The Resurrection Was Not on Easter Sunday!) - even though that is non-sequitor and a dangerous leap in human logic, especially since NOWHERE does the Bible change the Sabbath day from the seventh day to the first day (or any other day) of the week and the Bible actually warned about those who would think to "change the times and the seasons."
Most sheeple just keep Sunday, never having questioned it (Constantine or Christ?), blindly following tradition. Now God graciously brings these facts to light and commands such folks to examine their faith and repent of traditional error and let the plain truth of the Bible and history set them free.
Roman Catholic and Protestant Confessions about Sunday
The vast majority of Christian churches today teach the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, as a time for rest and worship. Yet it is generally known and freely admitted that the early Christians observed the seventh day as the Sabbath. How did this change come about?
Remember the Sabbath
Which day is the Christian Sabbath?

vimcomte13's simple question

How many times must I answer it? Read this: Circumcision.
IF you and your unclean kind - apostate Christians, drunks and whores - were honest with yourself and others, which you've sadly proven time and again you're not ("Christians" in denial), you would know and agree circumcision isn't even an issue today as it was in the days of the early Sabbath-keeping Church of God. However, your unclean kind vomit it as a diversionary tactic, a dishonest distraction, refusing to be circumcised of your unclean hearts and Gentile practices, your modified pagan holidays, preferring your strange perversions of Sunday instead of Sabbath and doctrines of demons instead of the plain truth of the Bible.
You seriously need to be circumcised of your traditional idolatry and Christian immorality, or Yahshua will cut you off forever, as you've been warned.

What America needs is heartfelt repentance, a change of heart, attitude and actions, not merely more lip service (prayer) that professing Christians are known for, as Isaiah 58 states:
1 "Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression [the Church and Synagogue], And the house of Jacob [the family of Israelite nations - all Twelve Tribes of Israel] their sins. 2 Yet they seek Me daily, And delight to know My ways, As a nation that did righteousness, And did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They take delight in approaching God."
This hypocritical nation of spiritual drunks and whores, apostate Christians, would rather simply pray than turn from modified pagan holidays, replacement theology of Sunday for Sabbath, doctrines of demons and popular myths and traditional error, refusing to repent or let the plain truth set us free. Therefore our Great Creator God, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel, will enable the German-Jesuit EU to bring us to our knees in true repentance.

I'm glad you love Israel too! I pray everybody who is thrilled about the Holy Land of Israel and its rich history, concerned about its pulsating current events and who share the hope of its bright future (after the Storm has passed) can go up to Jerusalem and explore throughout the Promised Land of Israel and let the Scriptures come further alive!
You could say I have a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel (Isaiah 62:6-7). That sacred bond has been strengthened over the years by the fact that I've been blessed to have lived all over Israel, getting to know its land and people quite well.
Apart from 5 months at Ramat Yohanan (where I met my "kibbutz mother," Miriam Weiss) I've also stayed at Sdot Yam on the Mediterranean, next to Caesarea, the site of my first ulpan (intensive Hebrew course), and where Israel's heroine, Hannah Senesh, was from; Regavim, near Zichron Yaakov, where I continued my Hebrew lessons amid its rolling green hills; Reshafim, near Bet She'an, with Mt. Gilboa practically in our backyard, and Jordan's mountains in lovely view out front; Adamit, on Lebanon's border, high up on a mountain, from where on clear days you can see all the way to Haifa's Mt. Carmel; Shoval, a rose in the Negev desert, just north of Be'er Sheva; Dan, way up in the northernmost part of Israel, in between Syria and Lebanon, next to the majestic snow-covered Mt. Hermon, where I was living when "Operation Desert Storm" blew in; and Ha'On, with its campground and ostrich farm on the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee, across from Tiberias; and last but not least, my beloved Jerusalem, next to my favorite spot on earth: the Temple Mount.

I looked you up on google, and I'm hoping there is a site, that has a email address so I could write to you. If there is an address, I hope I can find it. I don't understand all of your stances, but I'd like to learn. All I know is I love Israel, and am forever grateful for the Israelites writing the Bible. Without them, we would not have the OT, NT. Some people forget, that many Jews believed on Jesus when Jesus was on the earth, and also after when He went back to the Father. The Jews are the chosen, and I know salvation is open to all, and the time of the gentiles will end soon. I would like to live in Israel someday. Maybe they will all return to the land God gave to them soon. I saw some of the you tubes you have. I don't understand why Zionist Jews are bashed by people, God will curse those who curse them....

Yes, as a Christian-Zionist my articles dare to share the plain truth about the good and bad Jews (and good and bad Christians), contrary to the unsubstantiated charges that those who love the United States and strongly support the Jewish homeland of Israel turn a blind eye to Israel's faults. As necessary, such love includes "tough love" in the holy spirit of Yahshua who said, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore and repent" (Revelation 3:19), as well as following the spiritual principle of Proverbs 27:5 - "Better is open rebuke than hidden love."

As best as I can decipher, from Ben's site and others, is such as is typical of the whole human race: there's good Jews and there's bad Jews...wheat and tares...
Just as there's good patriotic Christian Americans like Chuck Baldwin (no pretense), there are bad patriotic Christian (false-pretense/pseudo) Americans like George W. Bush - whom to the Messiah rejecting world, we all look the 'same'!
George W. Bush will masquerade as a Christian patriotic American so as to dupe real Christians - while he's knowingly helping to create a backlash, a hostile environment, against the real Christians by those who aren't (ie the Christ rejecting world around us etc.)!
Again, from what I understand, there's Jews that have, and continue to feed off others at the expense of the good Jews...Kind of like when the world wants to know what Christians think about this social issue or another, they run to the Roman Catholic Church to hear from the Pope...they don't run to a David Wilkerson, Pastor Chuck Baldwin, Chuck Smith, others of fundamental Christianity...

I'm glad you googled me, which should have revealed blogs (besides my website) that include this information on the right side:
About Me
Name: David Ben-Ariel
Location: Toledo, Ohio, United States
Author, Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall
View my complete profile
If you click on that complete profile it offers my email address.
I'm glad you love Israel too! I pray everybody who is thrilled about the Holy Land of Israel and its rich history, concerned about its pulsating current events and who share the hope of its bright future (after the Storm has passed) can go up to Jerusalem and explore throughout the Promised Land of Israel and let the Scriptures come further alive!
You could say I have a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel (Isaiah 62:6-7). That sacred bond has been strengthened over the years by the fact that I've been blessed to have lived all over Israel, getting to know its land and people quite well.
Apart from 5 months at Ramat Yohanan (where I met my "kibbutz mother," Miriam Weiss) I've also stayed at Sdot Yam on the Mediterranean, next to Caesarea, the site of my first ulpan (intensive Hebrew course), and where Israel's heroine, Hannah Senesh, was from; Regavim, near Zichron Yaakov, where I continued my Hebrew lessons amid its rolling green hills; Reshafim, near Bet She'an, with Mt. Gilboa practically in our backyard, and Jordan's mountains in lovely view out front; Adamit, on Lebanon's border, high up on a mountain, from where on clear days you can see all the way to Haifa's Mt. Carmel; Shoval, a rose in the Negev desert, just north of Be'er Sheva; Dan, way up in the northernmost part of Israel, in between Syria and Lebanon, next to the majestic snow-covered Mt. Hermon, where I was living when "Operation Desert Storm" blew in; and Ha'On, with its campground and ostrich farm on the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee, across from Tiberias; and last but not least, my beloved Jerusalem, next to my favorite spot on earth: the Temple Mount.
Reply to: stormy
I looked you up on google, and I'm hoping there is a site, that has a email address so I could write to you. If there is an address, I hope I can find it. I don't understand all of your stances, but I'd like to learn. All I know is I love Israel, and am forever grateful for the Israelites writing the Bible. Without them, we would not have the OT, NT. Some people forget, that many Jews believed on Jesus when Jesus was on the earth, and also after when He went back to the Father. The Jews are the chosen, and I know salvation is open to all, and the time of the gentiles will end soon. I would like to live in Israel someday. Maybe they will all return to the land God gave to them soon. I saw some of the you tubes you have. I don't understand why Zionist Jews are bashed by people, God will curse those who curse them.... Thanks, take care

Yes, as a Christian-Zionist my articles dare to share the plain truth about the good and bad Jews (and good and bad Christians), contrary to the unsubstantiated charges that those who love the United States and strongly support the Jewish homeland of Israel turn a blind eye to Israel's faults. As necessary, such love includes "tough love" in the holy spirit of Yahshua who said, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore and repent" (Revelation 3:19), as well as following the spiritual principle of Proverbs 27:5 - "Better is open rebuke than hidden love."

I am HaShem your Healer
"I am HaShem your Healer"
(Exodus 15:26)
Rosh Chodesh Iyar, 5770/April 15, 2010
16th day of the Omer
(Exodus 15:26)
Rosh Chodesh Iyar, 5770/April 15, 2010
16th day of the Omer
After two thousand years of exile the people of Israel have begun their long journey home. With all the expectations and frustrations, accomplishments and disappointments that have accompanied the birth and maturation of the modern state of Israel, we can gain our greatest insight into just where Israel is today by examining her through the watchful eye of Torah. At this very moment in time, following the seventh day of Passover, which marked the Israelites' crossing of the Sea of Reeds, and just days before Yom Atzmaut - Israel Independence Day, and, in fact, (as these words are being written), on Rosh Chodesn Iyar, (the first day of the Hebrew month of Iyar), we are afforded a particularly unique prism by which to locate just where we, the Jewish nation, find ourselves today.
When the Sea of Reeds closed behind the emerging Israelites, drowning the threatening army of Pharaoh, Israel had gained its physical independence. Much of the remainder of the five books of Torah chronicles the ups and downs of the young nation's struggle for survival. The challenges of food, water and war must be met and dealt with successfully in order for the fledgling nation to continue on its way. And, in fact, all three of these crucial issues presented themselves to the children of Israel in the six week period between the crossing of the sea and the receiving of Torah at Sinai.
Until Sinai the Israelite nation was independent but not free. For the true emancipation from foreign gods and the debilitating habits and manners of strangers did not take place until G-d , by virtue of the Sinai covenant, took the Israelites as His own people.
All this "ancient" history took place during the month of Iyar, the month we are presently experiencing. One could say that the state of Israel is also experiencing the month of Iyar. We have gained our independence but not yet our freedom, as we are still far from being the Torah nation that G-d and destiny have called upon us to be. We have met successfully the challenges of food and water, turning a deserted and barren wasteland into a verdant and fruitful garden. We have successfully met the challenges of war, turning back our enemies time and time again, all the while liberating and settling our ancient patrimony. As for "receiving Torah" anew, that is, returning to the Torah nation that we were when we first entered this land nearly four thousand years ago, we may not be there yet, but in spite of all the setbacks we are most definitely on the road.
And this brings us to one of the qualities traditionally ascribed to the month of Iyar. Iyar is known as the month of healing, as each of the four Hebrew letters that form its name are also the first letters of the Torah verse, "I am HaShem your healer," (Exodus 15:26) which G-d spoke to Israel after they had traversed the Sea of Reeds. "All the sicknesses that I have visited upon Egypt I will not visit upon you," (ibid) G-d said. The nation of Israel today has two thousand years of landless, rootless exile that it needs to be healed from. The sickness of Egypt, that is, the sickness of exile and oppression and powerlessness are all deadly diseases that have eaten away at the spiritual well being of the children of Israel no less that it has taken its toll upon Israel physically. Can all this be purged and overcome instantly simply because we have returned to our land? Two hundred and ten years of Egyptian exile required a forty year sojourn in the wilderness to heal and ready Israel for entering and taking possession of the land. Surely the sixty two years of Israel's rebirth are hardly enough for her people to have fully recovered from exile and reassumed their place before G-d and among the nations.
Slowly, slowly the dry bones of Yechezkel's vision grew new flesh and sinews, a new heart and a new spirt. So it is today, as the people of Israel rediscover Torah in the light of the land of Israel and rediscover the land of Israel in the light of Torah, and in the process rediscover their own G-d commanded role on this earth. How else can we explain the Jews' tenacious hold on the land and the sprouting of Torah communities throughout Israel? How else can we understand the reapplication of Torah precepts to the land of Israel and the re-grasping of the reigns of Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel? How else can we absorb the revolutionary significance of the return of the Jewish presence to the Temple Mount and the return of the Temple Mount's presence to the heart of every Jew? Just as surely as dawn follows the dark of night, the redemption of Israel follows the dark night of exile. Iyar, which means brightness, from the word ohr, heralds the birth of modern Israel, a sacred milestone, a shining light on the road to redemption.
Tune in to this week's Temple Talk as Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven focus on the mysterious, mystical ailment discussed in this week’s double Torah portions of Tazria and Metzora, known as tzarat. This was not a physical sickness, but rather a Divinely-orchestrated wake-up call; a direct manifestation of More prophetic fulfillment today: As we begin the month of Iyar, during which construction began on the First Holy Temple in the time of King Solomon, would you believe that the illustrious Rabbi Joseph Caro, author of the all-important Shulchan Orech (Code of Jewish Law) who died in 1575, came this close to prophesizing the establishment of Iyar’s new holiday, Israel Independence Day?!

By gaining insights into their experiences we can make the most of our own Iyar experience." Click here to view.
This week also features the new Light to the Nations teaching by Rabbi Chaim Richman, entitled, "The Inner Meaning of the Stones: The High Priest bears the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart and upon his shoulders. Why did

Authentic 1924 Temple Mount Guide tells the truth
Hello David:
We own an extremely rare, authentic First Edition copy of the Temple Mount Guide (Al-Haram Al-Sharif) that was published by the Supreme Muslim Council in 1924 -- containing ground-breaking information (see below) about the Temple Mount: "It's identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute..."
If you were a visitor to Jerusalem during that era, you might have purchased this Guide as a souvenir of your trip.
Here is the main reason for this email: We have developed a museum-quality reproduction of that 1924 First Edition of the al-Haram al-Sharif Temple Mount Guide -- www.templemountguide.wordpress.com -- Feel free to take a look at the website. If you would like to receive a copy and help to publicize it, give us the best mailing address to which we can mail it.
This Guide is not the end-all-debate type of document. It is merely a "truth-centric" discussion-starter, helping to establish a conversation on the right historical footing.
Many knowledgeable individual have never even heard of this Guide and are intrigued with the potential impact of this document as a gateway to discuss and reframe the "two-state-of-Israel" debate.
Here is the article, which will provide an excellent context for what has been communicated thus far:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In each copy we have stapled an informational sheet into the center. Here is a copy of what is printed on that insert. It will provide a context for the Temple Mount Guide...
The Denial of Jerusalem’s Historic Past Damages Prospects for Peace
In The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 25, 2009) Bari Weiss reported, “For the record: Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism, mentioned more than 600 times in the Hebrew Bible. Three times a day, religious Jews face eastward toward the city when they pray. At Jewish weddings, the couple’s joy is diminished as they shatter a glass to acknowledge Jerusalem’s still unfulfilled redemption. It is a widespread custom then to recite the 137th psalm (‘If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate..’).”
Weiss goes on to state, “According to Jewish tradition, Jerusalem’s designation as Judaism’s most sacred city made it the obvious place for King Solomon to build the Holy Temple following the death of his father, King David. After the temple’s destruction by the Babylonians, it was rebuilt by King Herod before being destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70.”
This is an expression of the traditional view held by millions around the world. But senior Palestinian political and intellectual leaders have gone on record with an alternative perspective.
Here are but a few of the many documented statements by important figures denying the Jewish people’s historic ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem:
The Jerusalem Post reported on August 27, 2009, “The Palestinian Authority’s chief Islamic judge, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, said that there was no evidence to back up claims that Jews had ever lived in Jerusalem or that the Temple ever existed. Tamimi claimed that Israeli archeologists had ‘admitted’ that Jerusalem was never inhabited by Jews.”
The November 22, 1997 edition of the Palestinian newspaper, Al-Ayyam published a statement from the chief Muslim cleric of the Palestinian Authority, Mufti Ikrama Sabri, “The claim of the Jews to the right over [Jerusalem] is false, and we recognize nothing but an entirely Islamic Jerusalem under Islamic supervision...”
Shamekh Alawneh, a lecturer in modern history at Al Quds University, said on August 11, 2009 that “the Jews invented their connection to Jerusalem. It has no historical roots.” According to Alawneh, “the Jews are engaging in an attack on history, theft of culture, falsification of facts, erasure of the truth, and Judaization of the place.”
In an article for The Washington Post (July 30, 2000) Lee Hockstader wrote, “Saeb Erekat, Arafat’s chief negotiator at Camp David in 2000, took issue with Ben-Ami’s contention that Solomon’s Temple, the Jewish sacred site built 3,000 years ago, had really once stood on the Temple Mount. As the two negotiators debated, Clinton looked on amazed. Erekat then said to President Clinton: ‘I don’t believe there was a temple on top of the Haram [holy site], I really don’t.’ Clinton later said Arafat’s intransigence on Jerusalem was largely to blame.”
Islamic Movement chief Raed Salah declared in November 2006, “We remind, for the 1,000th time, that the entire Al-Aqsa mosque [on the Temple Mount], including all of its area and alleys above the ground and under it, is exclusive and absolute Moslem property, and no one else has any rights to even one grain of earth in it.”
In the midst of such quotes there stands an authentic piece of Muslim history that counters these and other similar declarations.
Authentic 1924 Temple Mount Guide Tells the Truth
The Supreme Muslim Council’s own words dating back to their 1924 Guide to the Temple Mount confirm the truth of the Jewish people’s unique relationship to these hallowed grounds dating back some three thousand years.
Irrefutable documentation of this fact comes from the well-researched, sixteen-page A Brief Guide to al-Haram al-Sharif, published by the Supreme Muslim Council. This Guide officially recognizes Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.
A 1924 first edition copy of al- Haram al-Sharif was recently obtained by The Simon Wiesenthal Center. On the fourth page the Historical Sketch of the Haram declares: “The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings” (2 Samuel 24:25).
Judaism’s unequivocal connection to the Temple Mount comes up again on the last page of the booklet (page sixteen), which discusses the “substructures” of the Dome of the Rock. Describing the area of Solomon’s Stables, which Islamic Waqf officials converted into a new mosque in 1996, the guide states: “...It dates probably as far back as the construction of Solomon’s Temple. According to Josephus, it was in existence and was used as a place of refuge by the Jews at the time of the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 70 A.D.”
The guide also refers on page sixteen to Christianity’s link to a small chamber in the vast subterranean structure, “which was believed in medieval times to have been associated with Jesus Christ’s infancy. This belief was prevalent long before the advent of the Crusaders…”
All editions of the Temple Mount Guide from 1924-1953 were published with the same wording by the Supreme Muslim Council. It is often said that diplomats sign treaties but only people can make peace. The Simon Wiesenthal Center shares this information with you in the hopes that it will inspire people of good will of all faiths to work together for a true and lasting peace that will emanate from Jerusalem – based on truth, tolerance and mutual respect.

Israeli Police and David Ben-Ariel
Israeli police sent on wild-goose chase
The Israeli police knew they didn't have a shred of evidence against me other than some hateful letter filled with false accusations that misled them.
I received a call (at the Palm Youth Hostel in Jerusalem where I lived and legally worked) from a friend in the United States that "KP" sent him a copy of a letter he reportedly also sent to the Israeli authorities, claiming I was involved in some plot to blow up the mosques to stop the peace process and prepare the way for the Temple; was involved in arms smuggling (distorting my travels through the war-zone of Yugoslavia by train from Germany and visit to South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as other adventures - thanks to a gracious inheritance from my Hoover grandparents) and that I wasn't Jewish. I told my friend the Israeli police would recognize "KP" was a crackpot and would dismiss his bizarre letter. I wasn't worried about it...

Grumpy Old Man or Concerned American?
Is David Ben-Ariel, author of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall, a grumpy old man or concerned American? Obama has yet to prove he's a natural born citizen, continues to disrespect the Constitution and We The People; American taxpayers' money is dumped into the black hole of Haiti while no help is found for our homeowners who lost their dreams; South Africa says it will follow Zimbabwe's terrible example of stealing farms from white people, meaning bloodshed will increase...

Happy Holocaust Day?
Yom HaShoah: Happy Holocaust Day?
It's that time of year again for hypocritical Jews to wring their hands over the Holocaust, to weep and do nothing but blather platitudes and feel smug in their bittersweet commemorations they appear to indulge in and blame non-Jews for their misery, collective group hugs on Yom HaShoah, failing to learn the lessons of Hitler's war against the Jews: there's no lasting place for Jews in the Exile (where most remain), that such a self-imposed exile will lead to self-destruction (in one way or another), that you must take your enemies at their word, not your wishful thinking (like the delusional "peace" process), and it's necessary to return to the Torah of God and Jewish Homeland of Israel.
How about fighting Jewish anti-Semitism?
The pendulum of Holocaust fraud swings both ways
Warnings about Hitler ignored
More Holocaust hypocrisy from Netanyahu and Peres
The hypocrisy of Benjamin Netanyahu's UN speech
Shimon Peres Rebuked!
Holocaust Hypocrisy!
The Holocaust isn't Kosher

Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down, yea, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember thee,
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom
in the day of Jerusalem;
who said, Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed;
happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
thy little ones against the stones.

thy little ones against the stones.

Will Israel right the wrong?
Israeli police sent on wild-goose chase The Israeli police knew they didn't have a shred of evidence against me other than some hateful letter filled with false accusations that misled them.
I received a call (at the Palm Youth Hostel in Jerusalem where I lived and legally worked) from a friend in the United States that "KP" sent him a copy of a letter he reportedly also sent to the Israeli authorities, claiming I was involved in some plot to blow up the mosques to stop the peace process and prepare the way for the Temple; was involved in arms smuggling (distorting my travels through the war-zone of Yugoslavia by train from Germany and visit to South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as other adventures - thanks to a gracious inheritance from my Hoover grandparents) and that I wasn't Jewish. I told my friend the Israeli police would recognize "KP" was a crackpot and would dismiss his bizarre letter. I wasn't worried about it...

Miriam Weiss: Kibbutz Mother and Holocaust Survivor
On that precious list of "Righteous Gentiles" (rare individuals who assisted Jews during the Holocaust) is the great name of Jan Bulski who risked his life and family in Poland to save my "kibbutz mother" -- Miriam Weiss -- who I met and was "adopted" by at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan near Haifa in Northern Israel while a volunteer there from October 1982 to February 1983.

Catholic Europe endangers freedom worldwide
The Catholic roots of Europe will strangle freedom!
"Jesus cut through all the red tape of entangling human traditions, and kept the Sabbath day as God intended (Mark 7:7). Yet it was prophesied that some would tamper with how and when we're to observe God's Sabbath day, and forcibly attempt to replace it with their own (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 17:5).It appears the bloody issue of Sunday over Sabbath has raised its ugly head again, as Europe's new empire prepares to enforce SUNday! A cleverly coordinated campaign is underway to make Sunday a legal day of rest, under the pretense of promoting better health and family life ("Mum and dad belong to us on Sunday"). "Hundreds of Euro-MPs have signed an appeal to the European Commission to consider "work-free" Sundays" (Brits will be banned from working on Sundays if Brussels gets its way). Precious voices of dissent condemn such interference, as Stephen Booth of Open Europe decries: "There is absolutely no need for the EU to be deciding what days people can work." Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Certainly Emperor Constantine would be impressed with how the Roman wolves cloak themselves in sheep's clothing!
This Sabbath question is destined to become a bloody issue again (Rev. 13:17; 14:13)." - Remember the Sabbath
"On the venerable day of the Sun let the Magistrates and the people residing in the cities rest, and let all workshops be closed." - Edict of Constantine A.D. 321Which day is the Christian Sabbath? The same seventh day Sabbath it has always been and always will be, as honest Roman Catholic and Protestants confess! Yet Protestant prostitutes are shamefully bowing before papal authority and collaborating with Catholic politicians to promote the big lie of Sunday, empowering the Vatican's vice grip on Europe that will again apply undue pressure on all to submit to this folly and other imminent measures or suffer the consequences.
What seductive offers has Rome offered these pawns to consolidate Catholic control of the Continent? Which European royals will join the chorus and fall in line with the danse macabre led by German-Jesuit choreographers? Will any stand strong and resist being swept away by the bewitching sorcerer-pope as he misleads the masses?
“In his first weekly papal audience, on April 27, Ratzinger used the occasion ‘to express what may become a central theme of his papacy: the Christian roots of Europe’ (International Herald Tribune, April 28, 2005).
The bitter roots of Catholic Europe will strangle freedom! Initially covert Catholic decrees imposing Sunday and such will all seem so harmless, but the thumbscrews will continue as suggestions become demands as history testifies:
Ban On Buying and Selling
Not only did Constantine enforce SUNday observance in the Roman empire, Pope Alexander III decreed at the Council of Tours in A.D. 1163: "Whereas a damnable heresy [Sabbath-keeping] has for some time lifted its head...and spread infection...
The Roman Catholic Storm is about to strike! Can't you hear the rumbling thunder? The final revival of the "Holy Roman Empire" prepares to make its mark on mankind! First folks are encouraged to rest on Sunday, later they're threatened to rest on Sunday and those who expose and resist such deathblows to political and religious freedom will be ostracized and their lives endangered! Think it can't happen again? That Europe is too secular and advanced today? Think again. That's what folks were disarmed to believe about Germany prior to WWII. The plain truth is European secular and religious leaders, for their own reasons, have joined dark forces to forge Germany's Fourth Reich - just like Herbert W. Armstrong warned!
