Tisha B’Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which have occurred on the ninth of Av. This is a quote from Judaism 101
Yes there are many similar descriptions of Ninth of Av(meaning of Tisha B’Av).
In the middle of Shabbat night, I awoke with these thoughts:
Tisha B’Av, On this day we strive to remember the losses. The House of the Name, which King Solomon built, the second Temple destroyed 70 c.e. along the other terrible events that have happened […]
The presented question was: “Will someone please explain, why do only Jews get to go to Heaven, and the rest of humanity, that Gd did create, go to some second kind of Heaven?”
The person who asked this question, it seems, heard a Rabbi make a similar statement. This upset the questioner greatly and she was confused and angry. Personally, I can understand the mood of the questioner, and I will say that I was very disturbed that any religious leader would or could say such a thing, but it is not unexpected, at least by me.
My responses follow:

It is observed that, we(most people of the earth), are willing to take anything EXCEPT the Written TORAH by the Hand of Moses, as justification for personal actions.
Even the Rabbinic version and use of the word “Torah”, which their definition has been and continues to be: “All Jewish writing”. Which is then given equal or greater validity to that of: Written TORAH in the Scroll, carried in most Shuls on Shabbat with reverence; treated with pomp and circumstance; which contains no vowels; and has not changed for 3500 years.
Not even one letter is allowed to be wrong. When […]
A response to a Rabbi on Face Book.
Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law: ‘We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.’ 30 And he said unto him: ‘I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.’ 31 And he said: ‘Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the […]
The Really BIG WHY? Was the original writing.
A continuance of this topic, or just some more thoughts about this topic.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens, He is God; that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is none else.
So what’s the point of this attention grabber? This: “He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited:”
It is easy to be confused by all of the prophecies. You could […]
Moses, descendant of Levi, the one the The GOD of Israel, spoke to mouth to mouth, as a friend.
Here is a man that was a shepherd in Midian maybe forty or more years, and made one choice that changed the world ever after. One decision which we have recorded, that opened his eyes so that he could never go back to being a tender of sheep again. More of this later!
There was a time when Moses failed, and was punished for the failure, although I could show evidence that he, Moses was suppose to fail at this event.

It seems that Timing continues to arise in discussions. This time it has to do with taking the Hebrews out of Egypt.
Why did we have to have the plagues? Why did so many have to suffer? . . . .
These questions lead to one of a long time ago, “Why does the LORD just make us good?” I will not answer that one this time, but I will talk about Egypt and the Redemption Then and NOW!
Yes, I did say NOW! This time it is the World not just Egypt. Couple of things to remember:
1) על-פי […]
There are some inconsistencies I see in the world. So many people, say one thing and do the opposite.
I have been part of the Jewish world since the 1984, and have been watching as the world and people have changed. There are some things that bother me, but it was not until a few days ago, that I realized this issue.
“Children of Jacob” does not Equal “Jews”(Judah the Tribe) which does not equal “Judaism”(Religion), and none of these Equal ISRAEL(Chosen not the land). Strange but true!
Jacob is a Family Group that includes Judah(Jews), yet it seems that […]
So what does it mean, to be of the Children Of Israel? Where did the name come from?
As always, I highly recommend reading the full chapter of every reference I make. Actually, you should do that, for anything you are ready to believe, from any source. Check the references. If they are telling you the truth, they won’t mind.
I notice that “names” are very important in the TaNaKh (Acronym of Written Torah (Ta=Law), Nevi’im (Na=Prophets) and Ketuvim (Kh=Writings), what non-Jews call the Old Testament.). There are many discussions about the NAME of GOD, or about Abram which became […]
So what does it mean to be of the Children Of Israel? Where did the name come from?
First use of the Name: ISRAEL.
Jacob receives a blessing after an all night struggle with a messenger of GOD. Who gives Jacob a new name in order to be set free before dawn. (Genesis 32:25 .. 29; and restated by The LORD in Genesis 35:10)
In “Genesis 32:29 . . . . no more Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.”
Like so many things there are multiple means, it is uses and […]
