From Legends to the Living Word

I’ve always loved the adventures bold,
Of Vikings, Pirates, tales of old.
Medieval Knights, Celtic lands,
Stories told by skilled hands.

I remember the faire, the sights, the sounds,
The costumes, the jousts, the magic that surrounds.
The acting, the tales, the journeys afar,
Chasing treasures beneath the stars.

But why is it that this fantasy grips,
While God’s own Word so often slips?
Forgiveness, redemption, salvation so near,
Yet in the heart, it feels unclear.

Pirates cry, A’hoy there matee,
Their motto fierce upon the sea.
They strike with fear, demand their might,
Seeking gold and royal sight.

But what if a leader, instead of dread,
Placed God’s own fear where hearts are led?
Laid ego and pride down at the door,
And sought His Word, His truth, His more?

Take off the crown, the Vikings gear,
Put on His armor, stand without fear.
Share the Gospel for all to hear,
A treasure eternal, infinitely clear.

For greater than treasure, greater than fame,
Is the honor of lifting His Holy Name.
And when your voyage meets the shore,
You’ll find the peace you searched for before.

Where crowns of pride will fade away,
But Heaven’s call will light your way.
So raise your banner, stand and fight,
With truth as your sword and faith as your might.

Let mercy guide each step you take,
Let grace be the trail your heart will make.
No gold or glory can compare,
To the love of Christ awaiting there.

Israel’s recent diplomatic posture reflects a sharp pivot away from traditional UN frameworks — particularly Resolutions 242 and 338 — and toward the Abraham Accords as its preferred basis for regional peace.

Rejection of UN Resolutions 242 & 338: These resolutions have long underpinned the two-state solution framework, supported by the UN, EU, and Arab League. The directly violate direct negotiations between Israel and Arab states in favor of revisionist history which declares that Israel remains a UN Protectorate territory ruled by international committee ie UN Resolutions.

The Abraham Accords represent a complete break from land-for-peace diplomacy. Israeli diplomacy prioritizes that Arab countries must fundamentally validate the objective of Zionism: Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination as the 1922 League of Nations Palestine Mandate and the 1948 UN Resolution 181, including the 2/3rds majority of Member states UN Resolution permanently rejects any further UN attempt to impose diplomatic solutions through UN Committee Proxy. Israeli Independence fundamentally rejects any UN diplomatic role in determination of Israeli strategic and tactical diplomatic decisions.

The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 with UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan: focus on economic, security, and diplomatic normalization without requiring territorial concessions. Clear proof that shalom – quite possible without UN mediation or Palestinian dhimmy Arab non State preconditions. Arabs lost the 1948 and 1967 Wars. Full Stop. No revisionist history of these cold hard facts permitted. UN Resolutions 242, 338 etc represent UN Revisionist history which pretends that Israel lost these two wars to the Arab hostile rejection of Zionism, as expressed in UN Resolution 3379: Zionism is Racism.

Israel has increasingly criticized European states — especially London and Paris — for treating it as if it were still under UN mandate status, implying a lack of sovereignty. Furthermore, the long term objective of the Abraham Peace Accords: that a majority of Arab countries across the Middle East and North Africa recognize Israel with the Primary objective of forcing the UN itself to publicly recognize Israel as a country within the Middle East community of Nations. Israel rejects the UN Apartheid policy which excludes Israel as a member State of the Middle East voting block of nations within the UN itself.

UN Resolutions which calls for recognitin of Palestinian statehood furthermore violates the Oslo Accords. Israel a fully sovereign nation, not subject to UN trusteeship. European pressure, specifically addressed through EU participation in UN SC & GA Resolution “committee votes”, Israel interprets as “Colonial-style interference.

Post the Oct 7th 2023 Abomination War, Game Over Israeli response to the recent UN GA vote supported by former West European or Nato allied states which demanded that Israel terminate its “unlawful presence” in Palestinian territories ignores the PLO 1964 Charter which did not refer to “occupied territories” as inclusive of either the Jordanian West Bank or the Egyptian Gaza. Therefore UN 242 & 338 rewrites and ignores the PLO charter of Yasser Arafat’s PLO while it recognizes the Oslo PA as an Indepedent Palestinian State!

Israeli diplomatic doctrine openly rejects the legacy of UN-imposed frameworks and repositions the Abraham Accords as the legitimate foundation for shalom. Shalom, unlike the noun Peace, a verb which requires trust. Peace as a noun only promotes the slight of hand propaganda rhetoric and nothing of real substance.

UN Resolutions 242 & 338, historically central to the two-state solution, viewed by Israel as tools of revisionist diplomacy that undermine its sovereignty. They falsely imply Israel lost the 1948 and 1967 wars and remain under international trusteeship — a notion Israel categorically rejects.

Israel interprets these resolutions as relics of a UN system that seeks to impose outcomes via committee votes rather than direct negotiation. As such, they maintain UN Apartheid policies which adamentaly refuse to validate Zionism established through the League of Nations 1922 Palestine Mandate, based upon the Balfour Declaration signed between Israel and Britain. Since the British defeat in the 1956 War, Britain lost its status as a Great Power. Both Britain and France should not sit on the UN Secority Council as permanent members with veto powers. France lost WWII.

Israel requires direct face to face negotiations with any and all Arab Countries, based upon the latter’s recognition of political Zionism: Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East and North Africa.

Arab states must recognize Jewish self-determination as rooted in the 1922 League of Nations Mandate and UN Resolution 181 (1947).
Full regional integration of Israel into the Middle East diplomatic bloc, forcing UN recognition of Israel as a legitimate regional actor.

All UN Resolutions demanding Israel withdraw from “unlawful presence” in Palestinian territories are seen as illegitimate. Israel’s “Game Over” response signals a final break with European and UN diplomatic frameworks.

London, Paris, and EU allies are accused of treating Israel as a UN mandate territory, perpetuating colonial-style interference. UN recognition of Palestinian statehood bypasses the Oslo framework, which requires bilateral negotiation.

PLO Charter (1964): Did not claim West Bank or Gaza — undermining the historical basis for current UN territorial claims. UN Resolution 3379: “Zionism is Racism” (revoked in 1991) remains a symbolic grievance in Israeli diplomatic memory. Game Over – Israel demands that Britain and France lose their Great Power status in the UN Security Council. British/EU imperialism\colonialism Israel categorically rejects. France lost WWII and both countries lost the 1956 Suez War. Solid proof that neither country qualifies as a great power. Furthermore Israel as a nuclear power, based upon UN hostility to the existence of political Zionism and the Jewish state, requires permanent member status on the Security Council inclusive of veto powers.

Islamic Worship Compared to Baal Worship and Its Theological Implications. Both Monotheism and Polytheism profane the First & Second Sinai commandments. Strict monotheism as Islam declares profanes the 2nd Sinai commandment and all the Books of the NaCH, which validates the Av tumah worship of other Gods. Sinai as Oath Law. Not any Theology which creates Gods.

The assertion that Islam operates similarly to Baal worship alongside Christianity raises substantial theological discussions regarding the essence of divinity in these faiths. Both Islam and Christianity can be critiqued for adopting practices seen as disconnected from earlier biblical traditions. The post-Shoah critique highlights the inadequacy of modern biblical translations and the tragic consequences faced by various branches of Xtianity. The post-Shoah critique highlights the inadequacy of modern biblical translations and the tragic consequences faced by various branches of Xtianity. Islam cut an alliance with Nazism during WWII and thereafter when the Arabs attempted to complete the Nazi Shoah in both 1948 and again in 1967.

Leaders, such as Grand Mufti Muhammad Amin al-Husseini, sought to oppose British colonial rule and perceived Jewish influence in League of Nations 1922 Palestine Mandate as European colonialism. The Lutheran Church in Germany expressed support for Nazi ideology, seeing it as compatible with nationalist sentiments. FDR supported the 1939 White Paper by closing off American Ports to European Jewish refugees. No Xtian denominational leader denounced FDR’s decision.

Lutheran leaders supported Nazi policies based upon the writings of Martin Luther himself. The closure of American ports to European Jewish refugees effectively restricted escape routes at a crucial time leading up to the Shoah. The lack of denouncement from major Christian denominational leaders regarding FDR’s policies indicates complex relationships between faith, politics, and social justice. For the opportunistic Church, whether Pope Pius XII permitting the Nazi slaughter of all the Jews of Rome or Protestant denominations in America who prioritized national interests over humanitarian principles, the bankruptcy of Xtain faith – total and complete.

Monotheism collapses all nations under one universal deity. Erases the oath-based distinction between Israel’s God and others. Violates על פני — the prohibition against universalizing HaShem. Islamic tawḥīd claims absolute unity of Allah as Creator of all peoples. The Torah’s second commandment forbids worship “על פני” — literally, “in My Presence,” meaning before or instead of the Name revealed at Sinai.

By rejecting HaShem’s particular Name and covenantal peoplehood, tawḥīd, together with the Nicene Creed Trinity, both theological creeds endorse a universalization of God which annuls the oath alliance cut with the Chosen Cohen people created continually through Av tohor time-oriented Commandments as defined through the first Book of the Torah בראשית. Thus, even though Islam rejects idolatry in the physical sense, it commits avoda zarah in the juridical sense — transferring divine authority from the local brit haaretz (oath-land) to a universal god divorced from the oath sworn to the Avot to create יש מאין the chosen Cohen people throughout all generations.

Tanakh recognizes that other nations have their own deities and courts — “כי כל העמים ילכו איש בשם אלהיו, ואנחנו נלך בשם ה׳ אלהינו לעולם ועד” (Micah 4:5). Goyim worship, by definition, other Gods. Neither the NT nor Koran ever once bring the שם השם לשמה. Therefore Islam’s tawhid approximates Baal kingship; Xtianity’s Trinity too exposed as pagan syncretism, substitute theology.

The First and Second Dibrot the ultimate constitutional clauses: they create an exclusive legal allegiance (שם ומלכות) for the chosen Cohen people. These two commandments shape and establish Torah common law as jurisdictional; who exercises sovereign law over the Cohen people and their oath brit land. Collapsing all nations under one universal Allah erases Israel’s Sinai brit Name and oath-land; it replaces particular brit obligations, specifically to pursue judicial common law justice, with abstract, cosmopolitan deity-claims of faith(also violates the second commandment by removing the “על פני” juridical boundary). Post Shoah Arab propaganda and UN Resolution 2334 openly ignore Jewish rule during the first and second Commonwealths.

At root, avoda zarah is not the worship of idols but the misplacement of sovereignty. When divine law is detached from its oath-based Name and judicial system, worship itself becomes alien service. Islam’s tawḥīd and Christianity’s Trinity thus both constitute juridical heresies: the former by erasing all distinctions (universal monarchy), the latter by introducing an ontological multiplicity (divine oligarchy). Both produce the same consequence: a moral universe without brit justice. No church or mosque has ever stood before a Sanhedrin-like court to restore the damages of centuries of bloodshed. That absence marks their worship as alien.

Weigh the Five Solas through the Lens of Protestant Reformation consequent to the 30 Year War. More Europeans died in that blood bath, comparatively matched till the horrors of WWI. Xtianity has a very long history of utter barbarism and moral depravity.

1. Sola rejects the autocracy of the Pope and his opposing Protestant Ministers. Sola Scriptura challenged the Catholic Church’s authority and tradition as co-equal to Scripture. Post Shoah the sophomoric bible translations proven to be tits on a boar hog. All branches of Xtianity refuted, disgraced, and killed by the Shoah.

2. Sola Fide replaced a works-based righteousness with faith as the sole criterion. Pie in the sky. Faith according to the language of the Written Torah – pursuit of judicial Sanhedrin courtroom common law justice which sanctifies the restoration of damages inflicted upon other(s) in order to restore trust among the Jewish people. The av tumah avoda zarah substitute theology where “faith in God” substitutes and replace fair resolution of damages inflicted – an utter av tumah abomination of avoda zarah.

3. Sola Gratia emphasizes salvation as a divine gift rather than a human achievement. According to the Torah the 5th Oral Torah middah/attribute a broad based tohor dedication inclusive of patience, discernment of ones’ own destiny walk. The false translation of חנון as ”grace”, as false as the translation of brit into covenant.

To swear a Torah brit requires making a Torah oath through שם ומלכות. The NT never once includes the Name of the first Sinai commandment. Kingship refers to “direction”. A person dedicates a tohor middah, say חנון לשמה to influence his future behavioral actions with family, friends, and neighbors in the future. For example following the brit cut between the pieces where Avraham cut a brit (oath alliance) with HaShem (a local god NOT a Universal God), Avraham understood his destiny walk before El Shaddai through brit melah/circumcision.

The Apostle Paul declared that circumcision – no longer the destiny walk before El Shaddai. But based upon the 2nd Sinai Commandment, clearly the Apostle Paul worshipped some other God. The Nicene Council defined the God worshipped by Paul as a mysterious Trinity God. Uncircumcised Xtians did not walk down the say destiny path as Jews. Their idolatry of Grace rejected the oblication upon courts of law to make fair restitution of damages. No European courtroom ever forced the Church fathers – Catholic or Protestant – to stand before the bar for war crimes.

4. Solus Christus asserts Christ’s exclusive mediatorship, negating the intercession of saints. Solus Christus asserts Christ’s exclusive mediatorship, negating the intercession of saints. This substitute theology replaces Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov as the fathers of the chosen Cohen people and replaces it with a false messiah which ignores the Moshiach dedication to rule the oath sworn land with righteous judicial justice. This doctrine declares that the Xtian church has succeeded Israel in God’s Grace destiny plan. Yet fails to address the Name of the local god revealed in the first Sinai commandment.

The Oral Torah commandment of Moshiach interprets the Written Torah, based upon the positive commandment precedents that Moshe anointed the House of Aaron with oil, and Aaron anoints korbanot with oil. This anointing with oil constitutes as the mitzva of Moshiach. It begs the Oral Torah question? Anointed for what specific sanctification לשמה? The Oral Torah interprets the mitzva of Moshiach to mean anointed to rule the oath sworn lands with judicial justice. Clearly the NT destiny walk diverges from the Jewish Cohen people destiny walk.

5. Soli Deo Gloria shifts focus from church institutions to God’s glory in all aspects of life. God’s glory understood a God as a Universal God. This patent av tumah avoda zarah rejects the first Sinai Commandment, wherein only the 12 Tribes of Israel accepted the Torah revelation. Sinai defines this “glory לשמה. The divergent destiny path taken by the Church – both Catholic and Protestant – directly comparable to the path of Baal worship. Under this more ancient av tumah avoda zarah Baal also referred this God as king.

Modern Judaism with the rise of the Jewish modern state/national Independence.

Shalom a verb that stands upon the foundation of trust. Peace simply a noun name/label. The tohor time oriented commandment of Shabbat serves as the basis of the Torah vision of time oriented Av commandments. The Order of the 5 Books of the Torah – בראשית – Introduces not only “literally” the Avot: Avraham, Yitzak, and Yaacov but this יסוד Book of the Torah introduces Av tohor time-oriented commandments. The Creation story introduces the concept of time: day one day two etc. The opening word בראשית יש ברית אש, ראש בית, ב’ ראשית – these words within words of בראשית known as a רמז.

The rabbis inherited the Oral Torah masoret/tradition from the P’rushim which the Romans referred to by the Greek name Pharisees, as expressed in the Protocols of the Elders of Zionism New Testament Roman forgery. Prior to the Jewish revolt which culminated in the destruction of Herod’s Temple abomination, Judean society fractured into polarized sects. Rabbis Akiva and Yishmael taught the Oral Torah kabbalah handed down from the P’rushim known as פרדס logic.

A four-part inductive reasoning dynamic logic. The ancient Greek philosophers by contrast developed a far simpler static three-part deductive logic known as syllogism. Inductive reasoning vs. deductive reasoning — the difference between calculus dynamic variables vs. rigid algebra. The lights of Chanukkah remembers a Civil War wherein the P’rushim sought to not forget the Oral Torah whereas the Tzeddukim/Sadducees in Greek\favored turning Jerusalem into a Greek style polis/city state; and replacing simplified Greek deductive logic over Oral Torah inductive logic.

The next three Books of the Torah שמות, ויקרא, במדבר introduces תולדות precedent commandments; which do not require prophetic mussar as their כוונה as opposed to the time-oriented mitzvot introduced in the Book of בראשית these mitzvot absolutely require prophetic mussar as their דבר שבלב כוונה. Herein split the Rambam’s Sefer Ha’Mitzvot vs. the B’HaG’s Book of commandments. Rambam organized the Torah commandments based upon a literal limitation of commandments located within the Torah. The B’HaG by contrast views all halachot within the Talmud as possible to elevate these rabbinic commandments to Torah time-oriented commandments through prophetic mussar.

The B’HaG learned the Talmud, as well as the T’NaCH as a common law legal system. The latter makes by means of בניני אבות\precedents learns prophetic mussar. The Talmud divided into two opposing threads similar to that of a loom. Aggadah vs Halacha. The Aggadah makes a drosh back to learn T’NaCH prophetic mussar based upon interpreting the language of a passage of T’NaCH by comparing it to a similar prophetic mussar precedent – something like the two sights of a rifle permits a person to shoot with accuracy down range.

Torah in context of the modern world: Can Jews reestablish the Written Torah as the Constitution of our 12 Tribes Republic. This Constitution gives a mandate to lateral Sanhedrin common law courtroom to define Torah faith through צדק צדק תרדוף – Justice Justice pursue. This vision of faith radically different from Baal to JeZeus to Allah avoda zarah wherein Man names the Names of Gods like Adam named the names of animals. When the Jews came out of the g’lut of Babylonian exile, they took as their “baggage” proper names given to Angels. During the Davidic kingdom 1st Commonwealth Republic the NaCH does not refer to Angels by direct names. Goyim Avoda Zarah takes this to its logical conclusion. Its theologies names Gods; the Nicene Creed created the Trinity and the theology of the Koran created a strict Monotheism. The latter directly violates and profanes the 2nd Sinai Commandment: Do not worship other Gods.

משנה תורה – קידושין: סוגיה ראשונה

Order serves as the bedrock foundation for פרדס logic analysis. This term סוגיה prioritizes subject “issues” raised by each and every sub-chapter. The Gemara analysis of the faceted language of the Mishna broken down into easily identifiable “sections”. My Rav, Aaron Nemuraskii taught me: First Order then speed. The first time we completed the Sha’s Bavli together we did it in four months. But prior to making a study of the Talmud, Rav Aaron required development of basic skills. 1) Read the Chumash in Hebrew like I could read an English newspaper. 2) Do the same with the Aramaic Targums. 3) Make an in-depth across the board study of classic Midrash. Achieving this foundation took almost 5 years of intense study.

Rav Nemuraskii did not accept a salary from the Yeshiva. The integrity of this Man reminds me of President Trump who refuses to take a salary as President of the United States. During these crucial five years we would learn, or he permitted me to study privately in my dorm room alone, due to my Dyslexia “sugya”. Surrounding outside movement, noise my kryptonite. Only this Rav and Dr. Dunning, my Russian history professor at Texas A&M ever recognized my dyslexia “sugya”. Dr. Dunning rather than insist that I sit in a class-room demanded the substitute of my doing research in the University library while sitting in a private carrel. Both men demanded excellence in scholarship. In the latter case, wrote a thesis that argued the genius of Stalin in that he enticed Hitler to invade Russia prior to the expected fall of Britain, which forced Germany to fight a two-front war. Used this thesis to explain why Stalin withdrew unto complete social isolation for about a week.

Under the leadership of the Czar, the long drawn out fight known as WWI caused that government of three centuries to collapse – burned in the flames of internal revolution which pitted Social Revolutionary anarchists against Mensheviks. The Mensheviks favored that Soviet local Parliaments regulate all bureaucracies which in their turn regulated industry and trade.

Bakunin viewed the “Establishment” State – bureaucratic machine as inherently oppressive which fundamentally required dismantlement. Marxist-Leninism by stark contrast, re-established Czarist Russia’s bureaucratic autocracy. The political assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist initiated WWI and lead to the establishment of Kerensky Russian Provisional Government in 1917. This first post Czarist government based itself upon the anarchist Social Revolutionary Party/Bakunin founder\ who like the Serbian nationalist group – called the Black Hand – favored assassination as a key tool to achieve political change. The Kerensky government separated from Bakunin’s political ideas over the matter of political assassinations.

The Social Revolutionary Bakunin Party did advocate for political violence and assassination as a anarchist challenge to terminate the inherently “corrupt” bureaucratic State; yet in post Revolution Russia its leaders pursued a more reformist agenda, aiming to stabilize the state rather than dismantle it through assassination. The Social Revolutionary Party, followed and accepted Bakunin’s views concerning the anarchist value of political violence as an anarchist challenge to rest power away from the State and its corrupt bureaucracies. They justified such actions as essential to destabilize oppressive bureaucratic structures, aligning with Bakunin’s broader revolutionary goals.

Bakunim opposed the rigid Marx theory which organized revolution as a fight between the Classes which pitted the bourgeoisie (capitalists) against the proletariat (working class). The latter political idea lead to the establishment of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” under Lenin. Bakunim’s Social Revolutionaries Peasants Party prioritized a society organized around communes and federations, collective ownership free from any centralized bureaucratic regulatory power. Important to remember that Czarist bureaucratic Autocracy, like the Confederate States of America, clung to an agricultural based, class rule society, rather than an industrial based society – until defeat through wars forced change in Bolshevik Russia and the crushed Southern States – the ashes of General Sherman’s Atlanta, and his march to the Sea.

What does this have to due with קידושין? Does the Talmud institute the institutions of religious law as the Rambam, Tur, and Shulkan Aruch advocate or Torah as the written Constitution of the 12 Tribe Republic, which enshrines צדק צדק תרדוף as the faith mandate for Great Sanhedrin משנה תורה-Legislative Review as its Constitutional mandate? Clearly the former idea favors the realities of oppressed g’lut Jews. Whereas the latter vision exists as a prophesy for the restoration of a Constitutional Jewish Republic within the borders of an Independent “Zionist” Jewish State.

How to define these two opposing, fundamentally different interpretations in a word? Power vs. Justice. Contrast the lawfare employed against Trump and his Maga supporters before and after he won the 2024 election! Compare this to Darth Vader who said unto Luke in the opening Star Wars movie: “You do not know the power of the Dark-Side of the Force”. The Rambam second quoted halacha made kosher child rape to accomplish קידושין in his halachic code. In Chullin Rambam’s halacha prioritizes knowledge over יראת שמים in shechita – butchery of animals for human consumption. But the Apecorus (or Epicurus), possesses the required knowledge, and yet the sages within the Gemara ruled such shechita as treif. Clearly, this person lacks יראת שמים; the awareness that protecting ones’ good name reputation understood and prioritized as the most essential requirement for any public service or commercial trade.

Its this fundamental distinction which separates Torah Constitutional governance, expressed through משנה תורה common law Sanhedrin Federal courtrooms from g’lut religious ritual halachot which separates Justice from Power – tohor from tuma. Hence have compared קידושין of the Talmud to the Bakunin vs Marxist socialist political theories as a way to high-light the sharp separation between Justice from Power; righteousness from oppression.

Not enough to cast the grave of Rambam upon the dung heaps of history.

The Avot—Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov—represent different paradigms of connection with God and expressions of faith. Not like Avraham who called it [the Beis Hamikdash] “mountain,” and not like Yitzchak who called it “field,” but rather like Yaakov who called it “house. . .” (Pesachim 88a)… What an utterly pathetic mistranslation!

The story of Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov centered upon the wells they dug for their sheep. But only idiots assume that the Avot lived their lives as simple shepherds of sheep and goats! The Beis Hamikdash not some glorified slaughter house! It housed both the Great Sanhedrin and a Small Sanhedrin Federal Courtroom of Common Law!

The story of the korbanot dedicated by Kayin neged Hevel centers upon the choice of who merits to live as the chosen Cohen son! Kayin, like Yishmael, & Esav born as the first born son! A major Torah theme played throughout the Sin of the Golden Calf and the replacement of the first born son with the Tribe of Levi!

The prophetic mussar of the rejection of the korban dedicated by Kayin, HaShem does not recognize korbanot as a barbeque to heaven, a תולדות קום ועשה מצוה!!!! A korban requires that a person swears a Torah oath – through the altar like unto standing before a Sefer Torah – מלכות dedicates as specific tohor middah – like a toldoth “blessing” of oaths requires שם ומלכות – committing to the eternal pursuit of justice/צדק צדק תרידוף. Just that simple.

The Torah does not compare to Av tuma avoda zarah which prioritizes “Great theological themes” concerning belief in different Gods — the Lord vs Allah — any more that the Book of ויקרא commands offering korbanot as a ritual commandment like the קום ועשה תולדות הלכות of the Shulkan Aruch do not require k’vanna! Simple קום ועשה ושב ולא תעשה מצוות, do not require k’vanna. This definition makes them secondary commandments to time-oriented commandments!

The Talmud has a warp/weft Halacha\Aggada loom like structure which weaves the garments, comparable to the Book of שמות garments made for the House of Aaron! Its not the literal garments of the House of Aaron משל but rather the customs and culture of the House of the Chosen Cohen people נמשל. The נמשל defines the כוונה of the משל; as such time-oriented commandments Av commandments.

The Torah not some glorified Book of Jewish religion similar to the Books of the New Testament and Koran Av tuma avoda zarah! The Torah serves as the Constitution of the Republic of 12 Tribes; it serves the same exact function as the Constitution of the United States – basic Law! Based upon the 1st Sinai Commandment. אני ה’ אלהיך אשר הוצאתיך מארץ מצרים מבית עבדים. This the greatest of all Torah commandments – Jews who live in G’lut cannot accept the Torah as the Constitution of our Republic לשמה. G’lut Jewry cursed like Kayin, forced to worship av tuma avoda zarah as a religious belief system theology rather than as the substance of leaving Egypt to conquer Canaan.

Off the דרך Orthodox Judaism declared their av tuma declaration of faith – in the early Twentieth Century – when they declared Zionism as both secondary and foreign to the Torah faith. Absolutely a direct repetition of the Wilderness Generation which condemned the First Born Generation to accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai as not having a portion to the World to Come.

The Avot: falsely perceived as but a simple משל “mountain”, or “field”, or “house”, in equal like manner the משל בית המקדש. The lives of the Avot introduce the נמשל dedication – pursuit of justice within the oath sworn lands of Canaan. G’lut Jews who remain in exile cannot accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai – the first commandment – לשמה, because they live their lives permanently in g’lut with no real or honest intention to make aliya. No different than the Shoah Wilderness Generation which has no portion in the World to Come.

The Book of בראשית introduces אב טהור זימן גרמא מצוות, like the Aggada of the Sha’s makes a דרוש\פשט to the prophetic mussar taught through the Books of the T’NaCH! Wisdom requires “shepherds” to weave the wool and linen threads of Halacha and Aggadah unto “garments” that the House of Aaron can wear in the “Beit HaMikdosh”. Obviously mixing wool & linen requires k’vaana as a time-oriented mitzva!

Only Jews who live in the oath sworn lands, who dedicate their Zionism as the eternal pursuit of self-determination to rule these lands with Sanhedrin lateral common law courts of Federal justice; as the basis of law of the Republic over the secondary Government rule of law by statute government Knesset decrees. Herein defines the meaning of Zionism post ’48 and ’67 Independence Wars victories! Common law judicial law the נמשל priority over Statute Law Knesset משל תולדות law. Do the Toldoth follow the Avot Yes or No? The defining question asked by Mesechtot Shabbat and Baba Kama.

The pursuit of judicial justice shares no common ground with personal belief systems/Creeds of faith about Gods in Heaven. Torah justice in this Earth, not in the Heaven skies above. Theological belief systems Av tuma avoda zarah. G’lut Jews cannot, by definition of the first Sinai commandment, possess genuine intention or moral integrity to accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, they remain in g’lut. Only within the borders of the oath sworn lands of alliance can Jews establish self determination of ruling the lands of Canaan with righteous Judicial common law justice. Sanhedrin common Law, UNLIKE the Rambam, Tur, Beit Yosef & Shulkan Aruch statute religious codes of ritual halacha,, centers upon judicial rulings which achieve fair restitution of damages inflicted by Jews upon other Jews.

Ritual religious observances do not weave the woolen & linen garments as time-oriented commandments. Av tohor time-oriented commandments they weave the culture and customs practiced by the Chosen Cohen Nation within the borders of the Jewish State of Israel.

G’lut Jews their Beit Din – a joke. The three Justices of their Torts court, do not divide their duties as Prosecuting כנגד Defense justices – who argue their opposing cases before one another through bringing halachic precedents, like as the Gemara does to each and every Mishna which it comments upon!

Religious ritual observances share no common ground with righteous common law courts of law; any more than do the Yad, Tur, Aruch assist students to study Talmudic common law. Torah does not “compare” to a Constitution any more than does a דיוק נמשל actually compares to its משל metaphor.

Employment of משל\נמשל a method of Hebrew speech. Children only understand the simple stories. Adults who cling to the understanding of children – what an utter disgrace. The challenge of maintaining a strong Jewish identity in g’lut … antisemitism-the curse of Amalek.

Jewish assimilation and intermarriage with Goyim invokes the curse of the 2nd Sinai commandment from generation to generation. Herein explains why the B’HaG ruled that the mitzva of reading the M’gillah qualifies as a time oriented commandment from the Torah.

The ever repeated conclusions made by generation after generation of g’lut Jews, that they can live in peace in g’lut – utterly false. Herzl understood that the curse of European antisemitism has no cure. Its a cancer of the Goyim minds which no doctor can heal. Only Jews who commit to leaving g’lut Egypt, a לאו דוקא משל, and making aliya to Israel — possess the potential to acquire Zionism – Jewish self determination to pursue justice among and between our own people.
