ed note–and there it is again, that word…

TORAH.

Not ‘Talmud’, which we are told emphatically and dogmatically is the SOLE piece of literature driving all Judaic thought and behavior today, including on a geo-political level, but–

TORAH.

Again, we highlight this in the interests of underscoring how inadequate and ineffective–by virtue of it being incomplete and completely off the map–any and all Gentile resistance ‘movements’ are to the virulent and deadly strains of Judaism, given that these same ‘movements’ have sanctified the very agent itself that is responsible for breathing life into this monster that at present is beyond any human means–political or otherwise–of control or constraint, a ‘sanctification’ based not upon reasoning and rationality but rather upon the more feeble aspects of emotionalism and religious-based sentimentality.

Please note one of the many items which our unesteemed Rabbi has addressed–

‘The founders of the State of Israel, including David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Menachem Begin, consistently peppered their public remarks with quotes from the Torah to add emphasis and strength.’

So much for the ‘Jewish state’ being merely a ‘political’ construct that was/is/always will be divorced from Judaism and religion, another red herring deliberately put out there for Gentile consumption for the purposes of sowing confusion in the Gentile mind when trying to get an accurate understanding of the nature of the problem.

Yes, this ‘Judaism isn’t Zionism’ and this ‘Talmud, not Torah’ business certainly sounds good and to those who make the pretenses of being ‘trooth warriors’ and who like the sound of applause that erupts in the aftermath of them burping such nonsense out, but the ugly truth of the matter is that it is only nonsense and is as much divorced from reality as are any and all distractions and diversions concocted by and injected into the mental bloodstream of Gentiledom by the eternal menace.

Rabbi Meni Even-Israel, Israel National News

Throughout our history, Jewish leaders of every stripe have underscored the importance of Torah study. More than an examination of our birthright or an analysis of our history, our most prominent figures have regarded Torah study as the tie that binds our dispersed, diverse and disparate nation.

Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liady, the founder of the Chabad Hasidic movement, was a renowned Torah scholar and insisted that his disciples adhere to a study routine that enabled them to complete the entire Tanakh every three months. The founders of the State of Israel, including David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, and Menachem Begin, consistently peppered their public remarks with quotes from the Torah to add emphasis and strength. These leaders, and so many others through the generations, urged the Jews of their times to connect with our “Master Text,” promoting the discovery of a common dominator that allows Jews of every background to connect on the deepest of levels.

At the same time, this unifying text has the incredible capacity to exalt and empower the individual. Living up to its “seventy-faced” lore, the Torah allows each student to relate on an intimate level, every persona to find something within the text – a line, word or concept – that expands their worldview and advances their sense of self.

While these two aspects of Torah study have been discussed and debated at length, the source of these powers are not often explored. To my mind, they are both rooted in the unparalleled simplicity and profundity of the text’s literal meaning.

Done right, Torah study begins with a serious assessment of the written word, a personal quest for meaning that precedes any detours into the insights of others. (This is precisely why the Steinsaltz Humash takes the commentator out of the commentary, giving the reader the tools to take control of this very personal exploration process.) In addition to teaching important life lessons about self-reliance and individuality, this method draws out the fundamental human values that are often eclipsed by more intricate interpretation.

For example, the book of Shemot (Exodus) is full of laws concerning interpersonal relationships, and a simple reading of the verses highlights the genesis of our core values. While the commentaries have much to say about chapter 23, verse 4 – “If you see the donkey of your enemy fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it” – a very basic reading of the text reveals it to be among the many origins of the value of charity: not only do we have to care about that which is not ours, but this concern must extend to the possessions and wellbeing of our enemies.

Unfortunately, we’ve lost the script over the last few generations. While the Torah continues to unite and inspire us, we’ve lost sight of the importance of the act of Torah study itself, of finding that crucial deeper message within the written word.

While other religions borrow from the Torah, realizing that the values contained within are the keys to navigating the world around us, so many Jews have turned their backs on Torah study, opening the door to confusion, disillusionment and disconnection. To be sure, this is causation rather than mere correlation.

When we all study the same text and agree on the core values borne out of this analysis, we are drawn together.

When we don’t connect to the “basics” and can’t seem to find salvation or even solace in the text, we look elsewhere. But when we all study the same text and agree on the core values borne out of this analysis, we are drawn together. Our individualized study may well lead us to different conclusions and interpretations about specific concepts or plot points, but the inherent values punctuated by our exegetical exploration can bridge any gap – cultural, geographical, ideological or otherwise.

What’s more, regular Torah study forces us to take the time to ask the important questions. Who are we? Why are we here? What is the purpose of living as a Jew and following this defined set of beliefs? Torah study helps us refine our outlook and answer these burning questions, or at very least allows us to distill and articulate the questions in a way that won’t drive a wedge between us and our heritage.

By engaging in regular Torah study, we can approach each new communal Torah reading cycle with a rekindled desire to unearth the hidden meaning in every portion. Indeed, even the stories are worth contemplation, as their numerous lessons push us to become better individuals and a more virtuous society.

The binding of Isaac, for example, is at once beautiful and horrific, but it forces us to determine how far we should go in our devotion to God, and what acts should be considered inhumane. And the perplexing and heart wrenching saga of Jacob’s life is an epic tale of misconduct, impropriety and deception that makes us wonder about its inclusion in the Torah, which (I would argue) is exactly the point. That speculation, coupled with the understanding that the text must be telling us something more, leads to the development of a solid core of conduct for humanity.

Though the Torah is a guidebook for better living, it doesn’t achieve this lofty goal by leading us by the hand. Instead, it challenges us, compelling us to ask the tough questions, discover what makes us tick, and reclaim our morality. In this way, regular Torah study promotes national unity, stimulates spiritual individuality, and allows us to pave the way for a more beautiful and ethical world – one line, word or concept at a time.

One thought on “For Jews, the importance of Torah study”
  1. Excellent article, excellent points. The Jewish ‘scriptures’ make it clear, it is either them or us, and institutionalized ignorance, acquiescence, cowardice and general callousness by the overwhelmingly vast majority of duped and damaged Gentiles in relation to the scripturally and rabbinically stated murderous Jewish program against all Gentiles are the only things that permit the continued development of the Jewish program of planned mass genocide and enslavement of any small number of surviving Gentiles to continue following the planned worldwide implementation of the murderous Noahide Laws, with the eventual total annihilation of all Gentles in the entire world ultimately intended by the Jews in any case, in their deluded self-assumed role as ‘God’, the ‘avenger’ against all Gentiles.

    The Jews have quite a different understanding of what and who ‘God’ is in comparison to the understandings held by all other peoples in this world.

    The Jewish scriptures hold that all Gentiles are eternally guilty of all kinds of sin and all instances of sin even before entering the womb, and that any sinful act apparently committed by any Jew is only the result of some type of psychic infection coming from assumedly satanic Gentiles, who are all supposedly expanded from Satan, not fom God, whilst the Jews consider that their own souls alone are all expanded from the substance of ‘God’, with the ‘logical’ progression of that line of demented thought being that with the total eradication of all Gentiles from the entire world, the world, filled then with only genuine ‘humanity’, the Jews, as that is what is actually meant by the vindictively insane Noahide laws and other Judaic laws and understandings that are supposedly intended to benefit all of ‘humanity’, that the Jews will only then be able to live in a world that is entirely free from all sin, crime, suffering or war, their Pax Judaica.

    Treacherous bastards who do not deserve to be in power, who are actually in league with those who intend to fulfil the edicts of the terrorist Jewish instructions, are currently ruling many nations, to our considerable detriment. If ever there was a purpose for any army in any Gentile nation, it is surely to combat the Jews out of their nations and even out of existence with totally lethal force before they kill all of us, and for that, the peoples of the world will need to oust all crypto-Jewish treacherous politicians and replace them with sane, compassionate, true Gentile representatives, or the Gentiles will simply die, that is all there is to it.

    Look what happened to Hitler, he never planned or attempted to kill 6 million Jews, but the Jews still said that he did and the Jews then forced peoples of many nations to believe their Jewish lies under threat of being sent to prison if they did not believe. Any future government attempting to merely send the Jews to some other land would inevitably see their own people then face similar such propaganda lies and then also be physically annihilated themselves by other nations that the Jews still control, a terrible fate which many millions of Germans needlessly suffered only because of their actual compassion and high ethical standards which led them to believe that even the Jews could be quickly reformed in one lifetime without any bloodshed of any people.

    Any democratically-empowered Gentile government, put in office by any properly educated and informed people, in any nation of the entire Gentile world can then legally instruct its Gentile armed military forces, and its Gentile armed police forces to oust all the Jewish parasites together with all the deeply infiltrated sayanim and Mossad operatives and send them packing, and if they, or their duped representatives resist with armed force, then such forces must be totally eliminated, as we clearly understand that the Jewish forces mean only to enslave and ultimately physically annihilate every single last Gentile in this entire world, and that ultimately, even psychically, or spiritually, the Jews mean to send us all to dwell in hell after the end of this world.

    What utter and complete malevolent twisted bastards the Jews are, they must all go, their religion must be outlawed everywhere in the world, so that even the Jews who do not wish to fight to the death to remain in our nations in any fanatical attempt to remain in our nations as crypto-Jewish subversives can possibly come to be reeducated (there is obviously not much chance of Jews genuinely volunteering for that sincerely, at least not all in one lifetime, but eventually, all souls must come to rejoin the true God, no matter how many lifetimes it takes), and all who seek to remain in our nations and covertly maintain their sick terrorist belief system must be rooted out and expelled, as their terrorist movement is quite explicit in its intentions.

    Do not save Goyim in danger of death.

    Show no mercy to the Goyim.

    Hilkkoth Akum X1

    All Israelites will have a part in the future world… The Goyim, at the end of the world will be handed over to the angel Duma and sent down to hell.

    Zohar, Shemoth, Toldoth Noah, Lekh-Lekha

    Kill the Goyim by any means possible.

    Choshen Ha’mishpat 425:50

    If a goy killed a goy or a Jew he is responsible, but if a Jew killed a goy he is not responsible.

    R. Hanina said: If a heathen smites a Jew, he is worthy of death; for it is written, And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian. [Ex. 2:12] R. Hanina also said: He who smites an Israelite on the jaw, is as though he had thus assaulted the Divine Presence; for it is written, one who smiteth man [i.e. an Israelite] attacketh the Holy One.

    Sanhedrin 58b
    [In other words, if a non-Jew kills a Jew, the non-Jew can be killed. Punching an Israelite is akin to assaulting God. (But killing a non-Jew is NOT like assaulting God.]

    Jewish rabbis hold that God is not some external entity, but that ‘He’ is quite literally every Jew on Earth. This is how they falsely justify creating Israel, because ‘God’ created it, and how the Jews all over the world falsely justify Jewish ‘settlers’ burning whole Palestinian families alive and stealing their homes, because ‘God’ gave those homes to the Jews, whilst deceptive agents of the Jews, both inside and outside of Israel, pretend that only ‘fake’ Jews created Israel and that they had no authority to do so, and that thus no transgressions committed by the so-called ‘fake’ Jews in Israel are anything to do with so-called ‘real’ Jews, thus allowing treacherous Jewish agents to become even more entrenched as agents of destruction in governments of nations all over the world. The Jews are all crafty, lying, manipulative, deceptive, murderous bastards, all Jews are real Jews.

    This criminal terrorist edict is entirely in accordance with the intended worldwide Noahide Laws that have already been fully approved by the Chabad Lubavitcher Jewish-controlled UN for future worldwide implementation under intended NWO one world Judaic government.

    CHECK OUT WHICH NATIONS APPROVED OF THIS UN DECISION AND WHICH NATIONS ABSTAINED, AND WHICH NATIONS LEFT THE UN AS A CONSEQUENCE, IF ANY, AND HOW, UNDER UN LAW, ALL SIGNATORY MEMBERS AGREE THAT THEY MUST ABIDE BY THE MAJORITY DECISION OF ALL UN NATIONS AND HOW THEY AGREE TO DO SO AS CONTINUING SIGNATORY MEMBERS.

    Zohar, Toldoth Noah 63b

    When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves.

    Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D

    A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them.

    Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17

    We beg Thee, O Lord, indict Thy wrath on the nations not believing in Thee, and not calling on Thy name. Let down Thy wrath on them and inflict them with Thy wrath. Drive them away in Thy wrath and crush them into pieces. Take away, O Lord, all bone from them. In a moment indict all disbelievers. Destroy in a moment all foes of Thy nation. Draw out with the root, disperse and ruin unworthy nations. Destroy them! Destroy them immediately, in this very moment!

    Prayer said on the eve of Passover (Pranajtis: Christianus in Talmudae Judeorum, quotations from: Synagoga Judaica)

    The Feast of Tabernacles is the period when Israel triumphs over the other people of the world. That is why during this feast we seize the loulab and carry it as a trophy to show that we have conquered all other peoples, known as “populace”…

    Zohar, Toldoth Noah 63b
