HaKUZARI (Verdeutscht und Verbessert) or The Khazars – Redux

"Ben Zoma said:" Who is wise? He who learns from all people, as it is said (in Psalms 119:99): 'From all those who taught me I gained understanding'". - Ethics of the Fathers IV:1

The translation of the Hebrew description of Shlomo HaMelelkh (King Solomon) is usually rendered the wisest of all, but the Hebrew חכם מכל also says that he was wise *from* all. All includes our detractors, and even our enemies. Sometimes we have to listen to our enemies to get at the truth.

I listened to the anti-Semitic accusation that Ashkenazi Jews are not real Jews and asked myself if I can find a kernel of truth in it if I correct for the spin, filter out the distortion and fill in the blanks of their ignorance with what I know about Judaism.

I arrived at the following conclusions:

First, it is the Jews and only the Jews, most specifically the Jews who are knowledgeable in Jewish Law, who decided if someone is Jewish or not. It should be eminently clear that is not the place of any person outside any given culture to decide who belongs to that culture and who does not and anyone who attempts to do so is a fool and a knave. We need not regard their criteria as to whether one is Jewish or not as valid at all. Jewish Law defines who is a Jew quite categorically and clearly.

The Jewish world accepts the Ashkenazi Jews as no less, or more, Jewish than the Jews of other streams: The Sephardim, the Mizrahim, the Temanim, the Jews of India, and the Ethiopian Jews.

The following considerations in no wise shed doubt upon the Jewishness of the Ashkenazi Jews. That is a given, absolute, and there is no Jewish group who has any hesitations whatsoever about marrying Ashkenazi Jews or including them in a prayer quorum or any religious commandment or activity whatsoever. Neither will there ever be any hesitations concerning the Jewishness of the Ashkenazis and no one will succeed in sowing a seed of doubt considering this matter in our hearts.

That said unequivocally, it must also be said that the story of the conversion of HaKuzarim (the Khazars) reads more like fable than fact and a reconsideration of the story as told is in order.

All those who have a standard Jewish education have read SEFER HAKUZARI (THE BOOK OF THE KUZARI, sometimes translated into English as THE DISPUTATION) , as relayed by Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi. In the story we read of the King of the Khazars who, having had a dream in which he is told that his intentions are acceptable in the eyes of Heaven, but his practices are not, decides to hold a debate among a Jewish representative, a Muslim representative and a Christian representative to the purpose of deciding to which religion to convert he, himself, and his entire idol-worshipping kingdom.

The representative of the Jewish faith wins the debate, as we all know, and the Khazars convert to Judaism. The details of that conversion are not related to us in the book.

The anti-Semites would have it that all Ashkenazi Jews, who are of light complexion and often have light hair and/or eyes as well, are so because they are all descendants of the Khazars. This is arrant nonsense, of course. More Jews who are fair are that way because the barbarians of Europe raped Jewish women regularly than because they are descended from the Khazars, whose complexion, by the way, we are unaware of. Anti-Semites never recall that ugly historical fact in their public ruminations as to why it is that the Ashkenazis are fair. It is easier to delude oneself that the Jews are white because they are reptilian shape-shifters than to admit that one's own grandfather or great-grandfather was a drunken, sadistic brute without the least measure of self-control or respect for human life. It is entirely possible that the Khazars were Mongolian. There is no necessary reason to believe that they were White at all. But the people who staged the pogroms most certainly were.

That being said and behooved I was to say it; I was, in reconsidering this story, now as an adult, forced to ask myself if, when the Christian cleric who lost the debate returned to Rome and told his superiors that the Jews had won fair and square and that the Khazars had decided to convert to Judaism if the response of his superiors was: 'If that is God's will, then so be it. Blessings all around!' Not bloody likely. It is far more likely that either the Church encouraged the conversion of the Khazars to Judaism, because they knew that they were idol worshippers and they knew full well how hard it is to convert an idol worshipper, or, knowing that these newly converted heathens would bring us only sorrow, sat back and let the idol worship work its own special magic as it seeped into Jewish ritual practice.
We Jews had had ample experience with the effects on Judaism when large numbers of heathens are integrated into Judaism. We experienced it in the Holy Land, in Babylon and then again in ancient Rome, at which time, it is said, as many as one-third of the Roman elite had adopted at least some Jewish practices. The Rabbis were very concerned about this development, as they were rightly aware that if the Jews adopted Roman pagan practices in large numbers they would seriously undermine our way of life. We should not have allowed the mass conversion of the Khazars – but we did and we are paying the price to this day. Knowing the Jewish People as I do, I do not believe that the conversion of the Khazars en masse was welcomed or encouraged. I doubt it would have been accomplished at all without pressure and fear of reprisals is we refused and it would not be beneath the Church to apply such pressure and monger such fear.

I believe that the Khazars, well-meaning as they might have been, brought with them their old and entrenched heathen ways and integrated many foreign, pagan practices, and ways of thinking, into Judaism. And I believe that that affected a large percentage of the Jews in Europe as the foreign influence spread as the Khazars married other Jews.

That is one of the reasons why we see, to this day, that among the Ashkenazi community there are "customs" and "stringencies" and "interpretations" of Torah that are clearly pagan. Another reason why Ashkenazi Jewish practice is profoundly compromised is that the Jesuits found it easier to infiltrate and distort Jewish practice among the Ashkenazis because they are most similar to their phenotype (the result of being forced to be similar to their genotype, for the reasons described above that Gentiles of European extraction don't feel comfortable recalling).

An Ashkenazi Rabbi once told me quite candidly that Sephardim to not have to take on as much stringency as do Ashkenazis because they are genetically closer to the original Jews and thus experience less bodily and psychic resistance to serving God than do Ashkenazi Jews. While he was correct about that; the irony of the fact that the very stringencies and customs that Ashkenazi Jews practice as part and parcel of their observance are foreign pagan influences and thus hinder, rather than serve and expedite, service of God did not dawn on him.

Yet, the Ashkenazi Jews are completely accepted as Jews and there can be no questioning their Jewishness whatsoever.

We do, however, have to see to it that their practice does not remain the dominant one in Judaism, as the Jesuits would have it precisely because it is distorted and impure. Their customs, stringencies and Biblical interpretations must be examined one by one to make sure they accord with true Judaism, absolute monotheism, with no traces whatsoever of pagan practice and idol worship and that includes the eudaemonism of the various Rebbe cults of the "Chassidim".

The next part of the quote I opened this piece with reads: "Who is strong? He who conquers his evil inclination."

My sincere thanks and gratitude are extended to all my anti-Semitic adversaries who compelled me think deeply about this matter and be able to pinpoint this problem, so that it may be rectified, and, in so doing, benefit my People and allow me to contribute one small portion to the Jewish People's continued march on to moral/spiritual perfection. The evil of anti-Semitism exists to strengthen us by overcoming it. We are taught that we must bless the unpleasant, which we associate with bad, even as we bless the pleasant, which we associate with good – and as we have all experienced, sometimes our detractors and enemies teach us more than our friends and certainly more than our flatters.

What the Vatican Has in Store for Jews and Muslims Alike

Vatican Assassins (Part 2)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nWSrMgPN-A&feature=related

Please allow me to state at the outset that while Eric Jon Phelps doesn't seem to be anti-Semitic, yet I always proceed with caution with any Christian and any "truther'. Even the best of Christians only extend love and compassion to the Jews on the proviso that we renounce our absolute monotheism and direct relationship with God and accept Jesus.

I'm sure *somebody* is behind him because he's making a big splash and that just doesn't happen without backing.

Also, Jordan Maxwell, a Theosophist who has spread rabid anti-Semitic misinfo and disinfo, introduces him in one of his lecture videos. That most certainly lights up a lot of red warning lights with me.

I wouldn't be surprised of Phelps comes off the wall with some weird spin or another just when he's got the public's trust. There are already strong intimations that he holds to a fanatical Christian and ethnic line.

That said, as the Talmud teaches and Jesus plagiarized, without giving credit to his teachers as a Jew is enjoined to do: We have to know how to "separate the wheat from the chaff". If we disregard everyone not our favorite religious and ideological flavor out-of-hand, we'll learn nothing.

The plain, and very sad, truth is we're all brainwashed deeply. I know I am. In addition to the fact that humans are fallible and ignorant of vastly more than we possess knowledge of under the best and most natural of circumestances, we have, all of us, been conditioned by experts. All of our minds will generate distortion and dross.

Let's hope Phelps is one of the ones aware of the mind and emotions control, aware that his position is not the be all and end all, and is struggling against his own mind and emtions control.

Notice How the Jesuits Never Tampered with the Notions about Yeshu

There are some very important pictures in the video: Jesuit Infiltration into America (First Video Created)

1) the Babylonian sun symbol right at the beginning
2) Look at the symbol around the Babylonian god's neck at 39 seconds
3) the head of the god Dagon and the mitre (Mithra?) of a bishop at 42 seconds.
4) The drawing of Ignatius of Loyola with the skull at 59 seconds
5) Look at Hitler's posture in the photo seen at 1:10. He is clearly deferent. See him leaning in to shake the cleric's hand. The cleric is hardly exerting himself to extend his hand, this makes Hitler have to bend over. He is keeping his head down slightly and looking at the clerical with upcast eyes.
6) The pope making the horned hand sign with both hands at 10:10

RARE 1983PART 1 Jesuit Infiltration Ex Jesuit Alberto Rivera

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh3d0MrLqVA&feature=related

It is said that both Alberto Rivera and Jim Arrabito died mysterious deaths.

Notice that the one issue that the Jesuits did not attempt to change in Christianity is the teaching that no one can get to God without going through Yeshu. They *never* taught that one should pray to God as Yeshu supposedly did - directly. If one is supposed to imitate Yeshu, then why not in this respect?

Or, if they were supposedly undermining Christian spirituality, why didn't they teach that Yeshu was only a great teacher?

They didn't undermine Christian notions about Yeshu because that is the most central occult teaching in Christianity and the Jesuits saw no reason to modify or tamper with it.

In fact, when they steered Judaism in just that direction with the introduction of the "Rebbe" being Ein Sof b'Guf (The Unending in a body) in Hassidut. Among the Jews who never accepted this idea are the Yemenites (think kidnapped children) and the Sephardim Tehorim, many of whom fled to Morocco (think 100,000 irradiated children) after the Expulsions. I consider CHaBa"D to be among the most compromised and infiltrated Jews.

To believe that one must go through a person to get to God is a very deeply occult idea. In fact, it's as deep as one can go into the occult without learning black magic - which is just where the Jesuits want people.

Mommy, Mommy, what are the Illuminati?

Jesuit Infiltration Of Judaism, Including Zionism

I highly recommend this video in its entirety. But please, at the very least, see last few minutes of this part n in which a 7th Day Adventist confirms that the Jesuits infiltrated Judaism and the Zionist movement, inter alia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCYdcNshc0U&feature=related

Let there be no mistakes. I am not a Christian of any kind. I am an observant Jew and I am a Zionist in the original sense of the word.

I have to offer these sites for information only because there are no comparable Jewish sites. The Jews, in every stream of Judaism, are so deeply infiltrated and brainwashed that they do not even know this is transpiring. So, I have no choice but to turn to a Christian source for the information.

Needless to say, you'll not find this information in Hebrew.I urge you to also see this site:

http://www.spirituallysmart.com/alberto.html

You'll see that the Jesuits infiltrated Islam and the Arabs as well.Shimon Peres is said to be a Jesuit operative and eight of the 13 Prime Ministers of Israel have been high level Freemasons (including Ben Gurion, Peres, Rabin Netanyahu and Olmert). The then Knights Templar, now the Knights of Malta subsequently associated with the Jesuits, infiltrated Freemasonry and completely overran it. *Please* research the significance of this.

Rahm Emanuel is Not Good For the Jews

There are Jews whose first (and sometimes last) political consideration is: "Is it good for the Jews?". They do not understand that what is not good for all is not good for us.

Some might be tempted to think that having an Israeli in such a high political position is to our advantage and he will protect Israel. How wrong they are.

To those Jews, I'll speak in their own language and remind them of the following quotes and teachings when I say that Rahm Emanuel is not good for the Jews and we have every reason to be more concerned about our physical, as well as moral-spiritual, safety now.

From ETHICS OF THE FATHERS we learn:

"Be wary of those in power, for they befriend a person only fortheir own benefit; they seem to be friends when it is to their advantage, but they do not stand by a man in his hour of need."

Shemayah said: "Love work; abhor taking high office; and do not seek intimacy with the ruling power."

"Nor should he boast, "I am the ruler of the city"."

Rahm Emanuel's political appointment is the result of one of two possibilities:

1) That Israel is getting far too involved in politics and, in so doing, we are in contravention of the above injunctions of our Sages.

2) He is being set up as the fall guy so that if their megalomaniacal schemes go awry, "the Jew" will be blamed and thrown to the dogs.

In either case, Rahm Emanuel is in precisely the position that our Sages have warned us to avoid.

And remember, always remember, what is required of us as Jews and that being B'nei Torah is greater by far than being royalty.

"Torah is greater than priesthood or royalty. For royalty isacquired [together] with thirty tendencies, and the priesthood withtwenty-four, but for one to acquire Torah, he must have thefollowing forty-eight tendencies:

1) Study,2) attentive listening,3) verbal articulation,4) an understanding heart,5) dread,6) awe,7) humility,8) joy,9) purity,10) serving the sages,11) close association with colleagues,11) sharp discussion with students,12) sobriety,13) [knowledge of] Scripture [and of] Mishnah,14) a minimum of business activity,15) a minimum of preoccupation with worldly matters,16) a minimum of indulgence in [worldly] pleasure,17) a minimum of sleep,18) a minimum of conversation,19) a minimum of laughter,20) patience,21) a good heart,22) faith in the sages,23) acceptance of suffering,24) knowing his place,25) being happy with his lot,26) making a fence around his words,27) remains modest despite his achievements,28) being loved [by others],29) loving G-d,30) loving [His] created beings,31) loving the ways of righteousness,32) loving justice,33) loving reproof,34) keeping far from honor,35) not being arrogant while studying,36) not taking pleasure in handing down [halachic] decisions,37) bearing the burden with his fellow,38) judging him favorably [and giving him the benefit of the doubt],39) establishing him in [the path of] truth,40) establishing him in [the way of] peace,41) deliberating in his study,42) asking and answering,43) listening and adding [to his acquired knowledge],44) learning in order to teach,45) learning in order to practice,46) increasing the wisdom of his teacher,47) properly understanding the intent of what he learns, and48) quoting a concept in the name of its author."
