Reverse racism on steroids

In a bizarre and undescribably ridiculous case, a professor who has written as a black woman against colonialism admits that she is a white jewish woman, as if that is such a crime ( obviously lying is .)

The basis of liberal democracy and indeed of Torah Judaism is that skin color and race simply do not define a person. Whiteness is NOT a crime any more than blackness is.

Blackness does not matter anymore than whiteness.

The slippery slope from non racialism to reverse racism has become steeper than ever.

Its time for people to grow up and relate to each other simply as people, all created in the image of G-d.

People need to be judged on merit alone.

As Rabbi Meir famously said “a non-Jew who busies himself with Torah ( meaning the laws that apply to him) is like a high priest!” ( Sanhedrin 59a)

Professor who claimed for years to be black admits: ‘I’m white’
Friday, September 04, 2020
A professor at George Washington University has admitted that she falsely claimed to be black for years.

Jessica Krug, who has taught history since 2012 and specialized in African-American history, imperialism, and colonialism, made her confession in a blog post, The Telegraph reports.

“To an escalating degree over my adult life. I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” she wrote. She also called herself a “coward.”

Petira of the גרז”ן

Baruch Dayan haEmes
תורה תורה חגרי שק
מורינו הרב הגרז”ן זצק”ל

This has been a year of aweful losses around the word, and in the world of Torah leadership, it has been just devastating.

Rav Zalman Nechemya was a legend throughout the Torah world, one of a few giants in all areas of Torah who was able to find himself equally revered in both the Chareidi and religious Zionist worlds.

For those of us who received our semicha from him, enabling us to achieve so much in our lives of spreading Torah, the sense of grief and loss is immeasurable.

May his family and thousands of talmidim and musmachim be comforted in his tremendous legacy and continue to spread Torah in his merit.

יהי זכרו הקדוש ברוך.

Bringing Ebola to America

AMERICAN DOCTOR WITH EBOLA BROUGHT BACK FROM AFRICA TO ATLANTA FOR TREATMENT

 

Now this is a tough one- bringing an Ebola patient back to the U.S. for the first time ever for treatment.

Is this wise?

On the one hand, with the number of flights coming in and out of West Africa, it seems inevitable that some-one will come back infected, and this might be a unique chance to work on a cure and heal with dedicated man at the same time.

Science and Torah- age of the universe?

Scientists just admitted that they got the age of the earth wrong by 60 million years! because of  few crystals found in South Africa nd Australia. and we supposed to take science seriously as a real challenge to our G-d given Torah? I’m all for reconciling Torah and science wherever possible, but give me a break!

Kidnapped teens and the declining superpower

Fatah orders the people to sabotage army’s search for missing teens and posts cartoons about their kidnapping, Palestinians give out sweets to celebrate the abduction, and the U.S. takes three days to condemn the outrage. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Middle-East, Obama and his new friends in Iran prepare to defend Baghdad against ISIS. in Eurasia, Putin wipes the dust off the iron curtain and gets ready to roll it back over Eastern Europe, while America joins the long list of former superpowers. and on whom can we lean, if not on our father who is in heaven?

American Neo Nazi terror attack in Kansas

The frightening attack on a Jewish centre in Kansas by a white supremacist American highlights once again that America’s race problems run far deeper than many like to admit.
contrary to sterotypes, it is not only black Americans who conduct violent crime, and not only muslims who practise terror.
More than enough mall shootings and terror attacks in recent American history have been carried out by deranged white males, whether racially or simple criminally or psychologically motivated.
Its time we realize that the enemy is not any one religious or racial group, but the extremists in each group that trade their humanity for cannibalism.
