The Land? Really?

 The  Zionists that I know toss around the phrase yishuv haaretz a lot but very few ever speak about the land. They talk about the army mostly. They love that army. Unless you live in on a moshav, you aren't likely to even see much of the land. And if you dare venture out there, it can be dangerous.



So if you are coming here for the land, you might want to think twice about that. The land is lovely, but it isn't so safe these days.

Forget about reading and talking to people

You hear about these Anglo-communities and you expect Teaneck or Far Rockaway in Israel. Now, wouldn't that mean that the shuls have books in English. Well they don't have that here, even in Anglo shuls where shiurim and announcements are in English. That's even in so-called Anglo communities. Here's what you see on the bookshelves. So unless you can open a book in Hebrew and translate, your Shabbos days will not be very interesting.  This Anglo community thing is a myth. In both of the shuls shown above, I donated books in English, but they were removed from the shelves and don't appear anywhere in the building.  I'm not even sure how to explain this. Why wouldn't an Anglo synagogue want English books? Obviously, gadolim don't disapprove of Torah books in English. Note the many haskamas on the Artscroll Gemara and many other books in English and other languages. I theorize that the guys who run the synagogues want to keep up with/be like the Israeli shu

It’s All About Power and Stuff

The aliyah salesman always starts by claiming that moving to Israel in our times is a mitzvah, even though it isn’t in the way he implies, because he is trying to strong-arm you. That’s how Zionists are. They are all about power and force. That’s what excites most of them about the state of Israel, that it has a Jewish army, even though it’s an army of non-practicing Jews (and Russian gentiles) who rely on American weaponry. He drools at its power (or the appearance of it). His desire that you move to Israel is not because he wants to see you fulfil a mitzvah. There are plenty of mitzvos that Jews are not doing that he’ll never mention or even notice that they are not doing. If you don’t know what I mean, step into a Zionist neighbourhood in Israel some time. Rather, he wants you to move to Israel because he wants power and that requires followers. You can’t be powerful without followers. No, he won’t be the king, but he’ll be a deputy of the king. And like any goyish royalty, he’ll bo

Stay where you are

Stay where you are Remember when they told you -- over and over -- that the government of Israel cares so much for every Jewish life that they'll trade 1,000 terrorists for 1 soldier or even the corpse of one soldier? Then came October 7 and it's aftermath. 337 soldiers killed. That's more than all of the hostages of which the IDF has managed to rescue 7. They killed 3 by gunfire and probably more than 100 via bombing. There are thousands of wounded and by wounded we mean seriously maimed for life. Then there are the dozens, scores - we don't really know - that the air force killed when it shot at the cars heading back into Gaza. Why are we in Gaza? To get revenge? Was the manhood of the war cabinet offended? Is it to destroy Hamas once and for all? You think that's going to happen? I'll bet you Hamas comes back stronger than ever. When the boys of Gaza look around at the destruction that Israel has wrought on their mothers, brothers, mosques, and society in gen
