Bible Note: A city set on a hill... a nation set on a hill... alas, scattered to the four winds .. why? Because the light of the Torah given by Hashem was not deseminated according to the Will of Hashem. Instead it was hidden and obscured and made to serve the interest of some over the welfare of the many. And this continued to the point where some of the rabbis would say to other rabbis, to other fellows in blood and faith, "stay off by yourself... for I am holier than you, come not near.." And in this malase of ill directed jurisprudence a hedge grew around the Torah. A planting not set forth by Hashem. The Mashiach could only exclaim... "And here is how they will know you, if you have love for one another." Yes Mashiach berated them, those leaders who said one unto another "Raca." Yet still they and there peers continued on their merry way... Some teaching and developing a body of traditions designed to force compliance , designed to storm heaven and to take it by forth.... if at all possible... saying to one another " build a wall, a hedge around the Torah and gather to yourselves many disciples... disciple who could ensure continuance of their practice." And so even as our own Rabbis have told us our people were scattered because of the sin of loshon Hora... (evil speaking). Evil speaking against each other, and against Mashiach? Lo, the Stone rejected by our Rabbis... even as Yakob (James ) did say in recogniztion of this evil... and the plight which awaited us.. "The Tongue is a world of Evil." E bnZhr lefayt |
