ed note–the significance of this is obvious, but for the sake of posterity, we’ll say it anyway.
Firsto, the reader will plainly see that indeed–as we point out here on a regular basis, it is ‘Torah’ and not ‘Talmud’.
We point this out due to what is the depressingly/distressingly-high percentage of so many self-anointed ‘experts’ who lead otherwise curious Gentiles down the road to Nowheresville with their conviction of Talmud/acquittal of Torah that is for all intents and purposes yet another exercise in distraction and which only aids the organized forces of anti-Gentilism in their unceasing war against us.
THE BEATING HEART OF ANTI-GENTILISM IS TORAH JUDAISM
ALWAYS WAS/IS NOW/ALWAYS WILL BE

All can easily imagine what the result would be if instead of a ‘caucus for the advancement of Torah (Jewish) values’ it was a ‘caucus for the advancement of New Testament (Christian) values’ or even, dare we say, a ‘caucus for the advancement of Qu’ran (Islamic) values’.
THE CONCERTED, INSTANTANEOUS AND VOLCANIC REACTION ON THE PART OF THE ORGANIZED FORCES OF ANTI-GENTILISM WOULD BE OFF THE CHARTS AND OUT OF THE BALL PARK.
And Americans (and the rest of the Roman Christian West) wonder how they came to find themselves aboard the civilizational equivalent of the Titanic and with no life boats.
The Jewish Daily Forward
A new congressional caucus named the ‘caucus for the advancement of Torah values’ and co-chaired by two Gentile congressmen drew mockery and cynicism on social media on Wednesday. But the Orthodox group behind the creation of this group defended it as a move aimed at demonstrating solidarity with the Jewish community during a challenging time and in a polarized political environment.
The caucus was initially launched last week at a private event in Washington, D.C. But it gained attention after Congressman Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, tweeted that he’s serving as a co-chair along with Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas. ‘We’re committed to combating anti-Israel bigotry and protecting the Jewish community’s values and right to worship freely,’ Bacon wrote on Twitter.
Rabbi David Hofstedter, a Canadian philanthropist and founder of Dirshu, an Orthodox international Talmudic group founded in 1997, spearheaded the bipartisan initiative in response to a rise in antisemitism and some frustration in the Orthodox community against COVID-19 restrictions in houses of worship and Jewish schools. ‘We should always be mindful of the Torah values as embodied in the Declaration of Independence with the firm reliance of the protection of divine providence,’ Hofstedter, the son of Holocaust survivors, said in a statement.
Josh Nass, a spokesman for Dirshu, said the caucus was designated as a platform for congressional leaders to speak out when members of the Jewish community are targeted, which he described as a biblical value. But he didn’t offer a sufficient explanation as to why it was themed Torah values.
Nass maintained that the congressmen both were ‘a natural fit’ given the close relationships they have developed in Congress. ‘They are both friends of the Jewish community and they have a proven track record on Israel,’ he said. ‘And part of what this is about is bringing people together from both sides of the aisle on an issue that should be unifying.’
He pointed out that in the past, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Anthony Scaramucci, the former short-served chief spokesman for former President Donald Trump, were chosen to promote a worldwide day of Jewish unity despite them not being Jewish.
‘I’m the most Kosher bacon anybody’s ever met,’ Bacon joked in a 2017 interview, saying he gets introduced that way at pro-Israel events. Cuellar, an eight-term incumbent whose home was raided by the FBI on Wednesday, is a moderate Democrat who fended off a progressive challenge in 2020 with the help of major pro-Israel groups.
