32. VA'TAH EM TESA CHATTATAM VEM AYIN M'CHNI NA ME'SEFER'REKHA ASHER CATAV''TAH-Yet now, if you will forgive their Chattat(sins of worshiping the Egyptian deity golden calf) but if not, blot me(LET ME DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS, IN PLACE OF THEIR SINS-”HUMAN BLOOD SACRIFICE”), now, out of Your Sefer(Book).

 

33. VA'OAMER HASHEM EL MOSHE MI ASHER CHATTAH LI EM'CHENU ME'SEFRI:And Hashem said unto Moshe- WHO EVER HAS SINNED AGAINST ME, HIM WILL I BLOT OUT OF MY SEFER(No one can die in your place as a propitiation, not Moshe, not Yashke, no one!!!!!) 34. VA'TAH LECH N'CHE ET HA'AM EL ASHER DEBARTI LACH HE MALACHI YELECH LIFINECHA UV'YOM PAKDI UFA'KADTI ELOHIM CHATTATAM-Therefore now go, lead Ha'Am (The Jewish People) unto the place of which I have spoken unto you; hinei, Malachi (Malachi 3. 1- Until Eliyahu pronounces the coming of Moshiach  don't fall for the lie that Moshiach has come is what Hashem is stating. If what I am saying is true, Hashem announced the ideals in Malachi 1000 years before they were written for our learning. The Hebrew doesn't read like the English translations, it doesn't read Malach(Angel), it reads Malachi- MEM, LAMED, AYIN, KAF, YOD. If the Yod wasn't present then the English transcribers could state that term angel. However truth be told, it states Malachi- which can only point to > Malachi 3.) shall go before you; nevertheless in Ha'Yom (The day) WHEN I VISIT, I WILL VISIT THEIR SIN UPON THEM!!! 35. VA'YIGOF HASHEM ET HA'AM AL ASHER ASU ET HA'EGEL ASHER ASAH AHARON: And Hashem plagued(“VAYIGOF”) Ha'Am (The Jewish People), because they made Ha'Egel(Golden Calf-Exodus 32.4), which Aharon made.

When our problems with Christianity started. By Rabbi Aminadav Hinton-The History of our people and the time of our Golus.

***********************************************************************************

From the descendants of Noach and Shem in the year 3,760 BCE in Mesopotamia Halutzan Amorite (members of the Canaanites, Canaan descendants of Noach and Ha'am) meets and marriesTiferet a Hittite(descendants of Heth the second son of Canaan- kindred of the Hebrews, us Jewish People). They lived on the outskirts of UR, there firstborn son was named Hivri- from Hivri became a Tribe called: Hivrim, later known as the Hebrews. 1,750 years later (2,010 BCE) from the descendants of Hivri, Hivrim was born the covenant barer Avrohom. 70 generations from UR we Hebrews headed south to Yisroel/Canaan/Kena'an. Te'rah the father of Avrohom is from the same descent, who left Paganism went back to the G-d of his ancestry Hashem, and migrated to Yisroel with Avrohom, Sarai and Lot- Gen 11.31. The Hebrews unbeknown to modern commentaries painstakingly lie that the Hebrews conquered Canaan as they do not align lineage accurately. In the parallel of Israeli conflict, the land of Yisroel has always belonged to the Jewish People!!! It was first given to Adam and Chavah as Ha'Gan Eden was inside of Yisroel. The Hebrews did not conquer that land, they reclaimed it as the Canaanites left

Hashem for the gods of the nations-Ellim Kenaim! In order for the land to be ascribed to another set of people, they would have to had been before Adam and Chavah- essentially the first Jews.

 

For 320 years we lived and loved the land of Yisroel, and fought with our neighbors whenever we had too. Unfortunately some of them were stronger than we were then, and in the year 2,070 (1,690 BCE) The Egyptians led us Jews into slavery when we were tens of thousands and they called us Israelites. That slavery lasted sixteen generations, and in the year 2,470 (1,290 BCE) Moshe, a Hebrew brought up as an Egyptian Prince, led us in the Exodus out of Egypt, from Ramses, back to freedom in Eretz Yisroel and Yudea. Then we became 200,000 Jews with the first ever invitation of Mitzrayim Goyim as Jewish Converts(Gerim), the mixed multitude- Exodus 12. We ended up walking in circles wandering around Midbar for 40 years looking for Yisroel- so long that Moshe died not getting there due to his own disobedience towards Hashem's direction.

We then NOT CONQUERED, BUT RECLAIMED YISROEL in 1,250 BCE. Two generations later 1,200 BCE the Philistines(The people from Caphtor-Amos 9.7. Thus they were Capthtorim. They are descendants of Mizraim- Gen 10.14. They are the descendants of Canaan, our Jewish kindred). Seven generations later, 1,015 BCE one of our Hebrew greatest strong arm military genius in history, Dovid, knocked off Goliath-from the descendants of Gath, the Rephaim who took refuge with the Philistines after their dispersion by the Ammonites- Deut 2. 20,21; 2 Sam 21.22. He was 10 in a half feet tall- six cubits at 21 inches. Dovids son was Shlomo who followed him on his throne. Our enemies kept testing our strength, and this time, fifteen generations later, 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezer of Bavel fought against us, and after eleven years of tiring of our rebellious nature shipped us to Bavel where He could keep his eyes and soldiers to watch us, where that Jewish Community worked tirelessly in granting us Talmud Bavli- We appreciate there contribution! In the meantime, the Persians were fighting with the Babylonians and in a short two generations, 537 BCE Cyrus conquered Bavel. He was a descent fellow to us Jew and allowed us to return to Jerusalem as long as we followed His laws and ordinances.

 

183 years after that the Pagan Greeks conquered Jerusalem, led by Alexander the not so great and His general Ptolomy. After fifteen generations under the Persians and Greeks in 165 BCE Judah led the Maccabees in their heroic reconquest, and rededicated the Temple of pigs blood and pagan sacrifices. 102 years later 63 BCE The Romans, under Pompeii, took Jerusalem. Then 92 years later 29 CE, our 152^nd generation, they executed Yashke thus creating the symbol of Christianities Mangod Manifesto culminating the religion Christianity after 4 CE. Which really began all of our problems! A scant 41 years later, 70 CE Titus sent the Roman Legionaries to destroy the second Temple in Jerusalem, hoping thus to weaken our faith, which He believed required the physical presence of the Temple. He never understood that Emunah is based on values, and what we affirm despite uncertainty. To make certain that we Jews would never again challenge Roman authority he also ordered the dispersion of our Jewish People. At this time we numbered in the millions, exactly how many we are not certain as there was not an accurate census, but we do know that the large centers were in Bavel and Alexandria. Alexandria where the Jewish Slaves created and wrote the Septuagint under direst, enslavement and Roman persecution the Jewish Scribes had no choice!

 

Every fishing vessel and cargo vessel that left Acra was filled with refugees who wanted to join their relatives who were living in other parts of the Middle East and along the northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Those of us who headed for Italy landed in Ostica Antica and went on to Rome. In Italy we were no threat to the Rome Empire as we were few, and there was no antisemitism on their part just yet. We lived relatively quiet for 243 years there working at Jewish trades and educating our children, but bothered by the further spread of Pauline Christianity as we are today in the year 4,073- 313 CE Emperor Constantine converted to Pagan Christianity. This meant that Christianity became the official religion of the Rome Empire, and intermarriage with Jews was prohibited by Rome.Constantine was enamored of the idea that Christians would accept their statue in this world and receive their blessings in their world to come, while Jews would not accept this and were constantly trying to better their conditions amidst of now a raging antisemitic outburst! So we Jews left that year, our 163^rd generation, forBarcelona. Spain(The birthplace of Sephardim) was a hospitable country to Jews, some moved after a few years to Zaragoza. Thus began 1,179 years, 47 generations of unprecedented development for our Jewish people. Even today we who are Sephardim(As myself) are considered as Sephardim from Sepharad, the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Portugal[My Jewish DNA]. Though the country was ruled by Visigoth Christians they did not proselytize- Anusim forcibly us Jews into becoming Christians and allowed us the freedom to follow Judaism!!! Aside from Barcelona and Zaragoza Jews spread to Gerona, Palma De Mayorca, Toledo, Cordoba, Sevilla and the town of Badajoz and became an important part of the total community in those cities. The Jews that lived in Zaragoza lived as court Jews, their Bayles were more influential there than in many of the other cities. They lived in the call (Kahal), which in the south were called Juderias or Almajas. Their homes were of brick and adobe, and may had elegant interiors. Their call was southeast of Avenida Coso. The Shul was the center of the Call, and beside it were the hospital, the prison and the Kosher meat shop.

 

In the year 4,472-712 CE the Muslims conquered the Visigoth Christians in Spain. They granted us Sephardim greater physical and economic security and communal self government.[The Muslims and the Jews could agree on enough that we didn't then have problems with them, they didn't believe in a man god, and neither did we, they didn't eat Chizim, Treft and neither did we, they believed in one G-d and so did we] We flourished in all the professions. During the next 780 years the Jews led “The Golden Jewish years of Spain” in poetry, medicine and astronomy. All the great Rabbis were mainly Sephardic:

 

Maimonides(Rambam), Bahya Ibn Pakuda, Moses Nahmanides, Abraham Ben David Ha'Levi, Joseph Karo, Hayyim Ibn Musa, Moses Hayyim Luzatto, Isaac Ben Judah Ibn Ghayyat, Judah Ibn Tibbon, Joseph Solomon Del Medigo, Samuel Laniado, Derek Erez Rabbah, Asaph Judaeus, Solomon Ben Isaac(Rashi), Judah Ben Baba, Hanina Ben Teradion, Solomon Ben Sampson, Eleazar Ben Shammua, Isaac Ben Judah Abrabanel, Judah Ben Jacob Hayyat, Solomon Ibn Verga, Jacob Ben Hananel and Hiskiah, Isaac Luria, Obadiah of Bertinoro, Jacob Emden, Abraham Kalisker etc. “Avrohom would have been considered Sephardic.”

 

The Jews of Spain asked for and received the right to have their legal disputes with Christians heard by special judges appointed by the Kings. These judges would take into consideration Jewish as well as non-Jewish law. Jews had their separate Escribanos (notaries).

 

That same freedom that was granted to us was granted to the Catholic Christians from Rome, and in the next 300 years they became increasingly aggressive as Proselytizers as these Christians do today bothering us Jews about Jesus/ Yashke! In the year 1,093 CE the persecutions started, with the Church fanning the general hatred of the tax collectors in the southern cities, most of whom were Jews. The weaker kings allowed it to continue, as they feared the hatred would be turned against themselves. The Christian Priest of Barcelona were so certain of their views that in 1,263 CE they challenged the Jewish Community and our Rabbis to a public debate, i covered some aspects of that in lesson two under Tortosa. Rabbi Moises De Leon accepted and won the debate, which of course angered the Church even more. In 1,293 CE the Church persuaded the Court of Valladolid to prohibit Jews from owning land and taking part in commerce and trade. This started the decline of the Jewish Communities in Spain. Those Jews who had enough Chutzpah took a stand against the proselytizing of Jews, and in the year 5, 071- 1,311 CE Jewish families took an oath not to convert to Christianity or else you would receive excommunication, to from the Jewish Community. Well word got back to King, Jaime 2 of Aragon, who decried their decision and on the 15^th of January 1311 CE sent an edict to their Congregation stating his displeasure.

 

In 1391 the Jewish communities, with the exception of Zaragoza, were ravaged by a series of riots(From Antisemitic Christians, like the 200 years of the Crusaders) that started in Sevilla and lasted six months. These riots were led by FerranMartinez, a Castilian priest, who had started his antisemitic campaign thirteen years earlier. Juan 1 of Aragon prevented its spread by capturing a nephew of Martinez, also a priest, who was jailed in Zaragoza after leading the rioters across Spain. Thousands of Jews were murdered, many thousands of Jews converted to Christianity, and thousands sought refuge in Zaragoza and Portugal(My Jewish DNA). At that time the King still protected his Jewish community in Zaragoza. His successors did so as well and our plateau of economic and social well being (Convivencia) lasted until Ferdinand marriedIsabella 1 of Castile, in 1469. It was common knowledge that they wanted Spain to be exclusively Catholic, based on Pope Eugene IV's bull of 1442. The Jews, true to our tradition of not converting, headed for Portugal, the men on horseback and the women in covered wagons bought from Gypsy families. On route to Liston they stopped in Badajoz, a Spanish town on the border with Portugal, that already had a Jewish quarter of over 200 residents and a Shul. By this time 35,000 Conversos who declared themselves Catholic but practiced Judaismin secret had ascended the hierarchy of the Government and of the Church itself. The inquisition against the CONVERSOS was started in 1478, led by the Dominican priesthood, and in 1483 Torquemada was named as the head of the Inquisition. Among thousands of others he had burned at the stake were three Santangel brothers, and even Luis, the notary of Zaragoza, decided to convert after this. The only defender of the CONVERSOS was the writer Fernando De Pulgar. In the mean time the United Spanish Monarchy was fighting a war to get rid of the Muslims, and on January 2^nd, 1492 the Moors surrendered in Granada. That war was financed in part by the Abravanel and Senior families. That same year, on March 31^st the Catholic Kings signed the Edict of Expulsion. This was our 210^th generation. Eighteen days after they granted Admiral Christobal Colon(Christopher Columbas a Sephardic Jew) a contract to sail west to search for the spice rich lands of the Orient. The financial backer of the voyage was Luis Santangel. In the 125 days they gave us to leave 200,000 Jews and CONVERSOS left Spain, 150,000 to Portugal and 50,000 to the Middle East (My Jewish DNA). Ten Jews left with Admiral Colon on the NINA, THE PINTA, and the SANTA MARIA, of the total crew of 90 Jews. One of these was Alfonsa De La Calle (from the Call). Six of the other nine were Antonio Torres, one of the Captains; Juan Bernal of Tortosa; Rodrigo Sanchez of Segovia; two of the doctors; and Luis Torres, the interpreter. Admiral Colon recognized the ability of some of his sailors, including Alfonso, and taught them the use of the Almanac Perpetuum, the maps of Abraham and Judah Crescas, and the redesigned Astrolobe of Abraham Zacuto of Zarragoza, professor of astronomy at the Universities of Salamanca and Sagres. There is evidence that Christobal Colon was also a CONVERSO- that is to say a Sephardic Jew who pretended to be a Christian, while observing Judaism in secret. They set sail at dawn on the 3^rd of August 1492- This trip saved some “Jews” our descendants from death and expulsion.

 

It was not long before the Spanish Kings forced the weak king of Portugal, Manuel, who wished to marry their daughter, to get rid of the Sephardic Jews who had immigrated there. As He did not wish to lose them by expulsion, five years later, in 1497, he held a public mass conversion declaring all Jews to be Catholics.The Jews like the Fidanques all changed their name to Duarte Rodriguez, accepting Catholicism officially but continuing to practice their Judaism in secret. Those Jewish members who had settled in Badajoz, and 43 others, moved to the Portuguese town of Campo Mayor, across the border, leaving behind their homes, when the Edict of Expulsion was published. Thirty years later these audacious 48, led by THE FALSE MESSIAH-David Reubeni staged an armed uprising in Bajadoz to reclaim their homes. Of the five Fridanques only Juan was pardoned, the other SephardimJews were condemned and burned at the stake. In 1572 Joseph Karo's Shulchan Aruch was published-Our greatest Sephardim Seferim on Halacha.

 

History repeats itself, as it has for us Jewish People since the beginning of time, one day America and the world won't be so friendly to us Jews and as before we will find ourselves leaving, there is a dated history that I have, the Jews in history have had to flee during the nations Antisemitism, when there hatred arose against us, we had no choice but to leave. And a day will come that while we have some comfort here in Gola in America. One day the hatred, Shoah will arise up again, and we will be forced again to decide Tora/Hashem or to follow Yashke and the Church or face death. What will you my Jewish brother and sister decide? This is one of the reasons why Aliyah is so important! There is no place for any extended time, or permanent time where the Jew can call home but in Yisroel. That is thee place where even the air is holy. We have no other place, where we can permanently unpack and Ha'Goyim want to take her from us too, leaving us with no place to call home. But that will never happen, because Yisroel has always, always belonged to the Jewish People. This accounts for why there are so many Jewish People today that don't even know that they are Jewish. Such Antisemitism has caused many of our people to mix and merge into other nations, religions, thus losing our own, like so many Jewish Children were raised as Christians after Ha'Shoah only to discover later in there lives for some, that they are Jewish. This has caused our people to lose out on the rich illustrious golden nuggets of Judaism, Tora, our History, our Richness, and our experiences. No one has this effected more than the African, Afrocentric and Latino People. This is why today 80% of Latin and Afrocentric People are “Jewish.” they just don't know it, books like: The Hebrew Heritage of Black Africa by Steven Jacobs, Moses Farrar, Black Jews in Africa and the Americas by Tudor Parfitt. And all kinds of books on Sephardim exist.

Conversion, Christian Hebraism (Messianic), and Hebrew Prayer in the Sixteenth Century. Kenneth R. Stow- The University of Haifa Israel. Hebrew Union College Annual. Volume XLVII. Cincinnati 1976. Pages 217-236.

***********************************************************************************

What divergent conclusions historians have reached concerning the religious upheavals of the sixteenth century, none of them would deny that these upheavals created a situation in which all men were forced to confront and reorient themselves to a radically altered social-religious configuration. Gone was the theoretical world unity and structure, and so too the absolute confidence in the religion of Catholicism, which were both held as fundamental assumptions until the time of Luther. The sixteenth century was also a time of upheaval and reorientation for Jews. Apart from the Jews of Spain who underwent numerous traumas as a result of their expulsion in 1492, the Jews of Italy, and particularly those under direct Papal rule, experienced a conversionary program under Papal auspices of singular intensity and persistence. Needless to say, both Spanish SephardimandItalian Jews had to develop mechanisms of defense to enable them to overcome such difficult challenges. But so too did those Jews in Italy who converted require justifications, either of their own making or though the agency of others, to enable them to successfully adapt to their new status and perspective. Almost paradoxically one such justification would come from a unique use of the Hebrew language. Stranger, yet, at least certain Christians would also use Hebrew- and in a way absolutely identical to that followed by the converts- to make their own adjustments and to reaffirm their belief that they, as the converts, had found in Catholicism the way of their religious “Pagan” truth. This unique use of Hebrew [for deceptive gain], and its background, form the subject of the present inquiry. The conversionary policy aimed at Italian Jews may be perceived in its incipient stages, in the fourth decade of the sixteenth century, in clauses which began to appear regularly in numerous Papal letters of Paul 3 and Julius 3 to Jews residing within the Ecclesiastical States. The Jews, these letters state, are being given broad privileges, because it is hoped that when they recognize the kindness with which they are being treated, they will come to possess a wiser spirit and thence arrive at the perception of Catholicsm(To convert to Christianity, to Yashke). In a more direct form, the policy was initiated by the establishment, in 1542, of a DOMUS CATHECUMENORUM in Rome to train Jewish converts and to care for their physical needs, all such niceness to compel the Jew to leave His/Her G-d and Judaism!!!! This broad-handed method of seeking converts was, however, soon abandoned in favor of a method based on severe limitations(FORCED). Indeed, it was this attempt literally to pressure Jews into conversion that was now to become the conversionary policy was carried on through the burning of the Talmud in 1553, brought to full strength in the restrictive decrees of Paul IV and his successors, from 1555 and on, and further refined through the establishment of forced preaching by Gregory XIII. This leading thought guiding this policy was the statement of Paul IV in the bull, Cum Nimis, a statement to be repeated in all the pronouncements of his successors: that the Church tolerates the Jew to live among Christians, so that (ad hoc, ut) it may bring them to convert. Accordingly, Jews were to be severely restricted through such measures as the establishments of ghettos and the consistent enforcement, for the first time within memory in the Papal States, of the canons requiring them to wear a distinguishing sign(Such as Mogen Dovid in Ha'Shoah). Such rigorous measures, it was believed, would make the Jews confront the reality that the prophecies of their enslavement for rejecting YASHKE-JESUS AS THE MESSIAH had indeed been fulfilled. Upon realizing this fact, the Jews would then convert. As against the policy of passive expectancy practiced by the papacy for hundreds of years prior to the sixteenth century, wherein expressions were frequently made of the hope that the Jews would at some future time convert, but little if anything was done to implement that hope, and as against the policy of broad concessions practiced by the popes of the earlier decades of the sixteenth century, the policy begun in 1555 had remarkable results. Precise data for the sixteenth century are lacking- the registers of the Domus exist at present only from 1586- but through interpolation from figures for later periods, A. Milano has estimated that in the latter half of the sixteenth century, approximately 800 Jews were converted. This estimate receives corroboration, if only with respect to the fact that after 1555 there was indeed fifteen bulls issued between 1556 and 1590 mandating increased support of the Domus or the enlargement of its facilities. More particularly, although regretfully without specific reference to numbers, two statements, one of Paul IV and the other of Pius V, attest to the rapid growth of the conversionary movement, drawing Jews to become Christians. On November 18, 1556, reflecting on the need to provide for the upkeep of converts, Paul IV wrote that he had come to recognize this need. Considering that the number of catechumens in our Fair City each day increases more and more.

 

And on November 29, 1566, Pius V wrote that the physical facilities of housing converts had to be expanded. For having labored assiduously:

 

To bring an exceeding number of them [Jews[ to the faith of Christ, our labors, with God's kindness, have not all been in vain. A sufficiently large number, of both sexes,... have accepted the Christian faith, and very many others, following their example, have brought the total number of converts to an extremely large figure.

 

Needless to say, the prime concern of the Church vis a vis converts was to ensure that there would be no backsliding. Loyalty was sought by maintain a decently high standard of living for the new Christians. But it was primarily inculcated through instructions in the laws, traditions, and rituals of the Catholic Pagan Faith. Little is known about the methods and means of instruction employed in the Domus. Such clues toward the solution of this problem are given in the DIALOGO FRA IL CATECUMINO ET IL PADRE CATHECIZANTE, composed and published in 1582 by the X Jew, Christian Convert, Faiano Fioghi, who was then serving as a lector in the Domus. Using a dialogue format, Fioghi put into the mouth of a fictitious catechumen questions concerning Christian Fake Truths, to which detailed responses were given by an equally fictitious priest. As a whole, there is nothing surprising about both questions and responses, for they repeat for the most part materials which had long been staples in the Jewish- Christian polemic arsenal. There seems to be some material derived from the arguments of sixteenth century. Christian Kabbalists; but, here again, little if anything seems truly original. Thus, from the DIALOGO it is possible to receive a general idea about convert instruction, but nothing more specific than that.

 

A second project of Fioghi does provide some detail. To smooth the road for the recent convert, who had to adjust to a liturgy thoroughly alien to that which he had formerly been accustomed, Fioghi translated a number of Christian prayers into Hebrew [Like modern day Messianic Christians do], in particular, the CREDO, and the OFFICUM BEATAE MARIAE VIRGINIS. He must have believed that with the language barrier removed, or vice-versa, with the language still the traditional one of prayer, Hebrew, the converts would be able to assimilate the alien aspects of Christian Pagan Prayers without having to sustain a strong emotional or intellectual reaction. In this reliance on Hebrew as a transitional aid, Fioghi was doubtless not alone. The visitor to the Church of the Madonna Dei Monti in Rome, the Church appointed as the home parish of the catechumens by Greogry XIII in 1580, is treated to the unusual, if not unique experience of an altar with two Hebrew inscriptions. The fresco above the altar shows a women receiving a revelation, surely the “verus lumen” of the Catholic faith. Beside her, to her left, is a Hebrew Bible open to the verse, Isa. 7:14, “A maiden shall conceive, [That whole Jesus crap!].” Above the fresco, cut into the marble of the portal of the altar is the declaration:

 

Hanah Emet Chai Yeshua Li Badvarach- The faithful truth, and life of Jesus means to me that I am His(Jesus, Yashke) faithful witness!

 

It would thus appear that the fears expressed at the 1554 Rabbinic Synod of Ferrara were well based: The Church was indeed exploiting Hebrew as a conversionary device. The major stimulus for using Hebrew in this way most likely came, as in the case of Fioghi, from converted Jews themselves. But the sixteenth century also witnessed a renewed interest in Hebrew on the part of Christians whose connections with the conversionary movement(Messianic) were non-existent. To many Christians, Hebrew, together with Greek, provided the means to a direct contact with the literary sources of Christianity. Rather than being a means to bring those from the outside within, Hebrew and Greek would enable those inside the Church to intensify their own spirituality by creating a link between them and the founders or precursors of their faith. Knowledge of these two languages would also a guarantee a greater degree of exegetical precision, a matter of no small importance to sixteenth century Catholics, who found themselves constrained to rebut Protestant charges that Catholicism had deviated from the pristine Christian way. One representative of this Christian Hebraism(Messianic) was the Vallombrosan Abbot, Caesar Mainardus Fiorentinus (d. 1613). Trained at Rome, he spent most of his life in the Vallombrosan monastery at Passignano, near Florence, where he served as an instructor of literature, poetry, history, and Greek. He also taught Hebrew; and it appears that his monastic students were particularity avid for these lessons. But Mainardi went one step further. For him, Hebrew was more than a language to be learned and taught. It was a language in which to pray and, more, in which to compose prayers. Among his efforts at Hebrew prayer- and here the circle comes full- is a translation of none other than the OFFICIUM BEATAR MARIAE VIRGINIS.

 

Such Jews likeFioghi and Mainardiwho converted to Christianity, and used our Hebrew to collaborate volumes of conversion documents in drawing Jews from Judaism has hurt us and is the cause and reason why Messianic exist today, due to our own Jewish People that have fell prey to the lying lures, pressures, legal constraints and restrictions of Golus that lead astray our own Jewish People, some of them, many of them to use what comes out of Judaism for a renewed Hebraic version of Christianity! The difference then and today was and is, those Jews who fell victim to Pagan Christianity knew full well that they were leavingJudaism to follow Christianity, unlike today the Messianics proclaims that they are following Judaism as renewed, better Jewsthan we who reject Yashke and keep towards Dati, Tora Judaism. Such deceptive cloaks have taken on new roles, and new formatting, a change of words here and there to appeal better in drawing Jews away from Hashem to Chillul Hashem is surely most deceptive, demonizing, demoralizing and denigrating to the Jew who wants nothing to do with Yashke, His fallen foes, and the Jews that left Hashem for the gods of Rome does nothing for us, and should in the highest level receive Cherem from among us Jews.

 

Today you just don't know:

 

With the growing excitement over Judaism's appeal to draw people, the Messianic has taken full advantage of this in lacing the lie of a new type of Judaism, with the Christian Christ,Hebrew, Brachas, Jewish garb-Kippas, Tzitzit, Beards- looking the part while following the conversionary process of the Church, Christianity in drawing Jews from Judaism and from Tora for Christ centrality! They want Jews in their midst for the show to make it appear that this new form of brainwash, this Hebrew Christianity is Judaism, while today not stating that what they really are, are Christians pretending to be Jews!!!!

 

We can't assume people that we talk to or have questions for us are Jews because many of them today are those Hebrew Christians. I was at work and a lady that came into the building asked me about myMogen Dovid necklace and where I purchased it, she was Latino so I assumed she was Jewish, otherwise I would not have helped her. That has to be our first question, because some of them will tell you that they are Jewish also, linking this supposed prerequisite to Jesus, thus having Christ makes them Jewish!This type of stupidity, ignorance, and pagan prank is what you have to be on the watch for. I end up telling her at the JCC that they have a store where I purchase my things that I need, then I asked her are you Jewish. She said correctly, No, I'm Messainic!!! I then wished i had asked that question first.........

 

In that same regard they[Messianic Hebrew Christians] are joining the JCC, Jewish Federations, enrolling their Families in the JCC Heseder Schools, joining and participating in JCC, Jewish functions, intermixing, connecting and at your Shuls, your events! As interlopers, spies for Messianic Christian Objectivity while the leaders of the JCC, Jewish Federations don't even know that they have Messianic Christians among them. They[Messianic Hebrew Christians] want to hang out with Jews, learn from our Jewish Rabbis, spend time at our social events and Jewish attractions. It is time for the Jews to bring Anti-Missionary booklets, pamphlets, to counteract the booklets

[Jesus Meshuganah, oh Messiah garbage], pamphlets that they are bringing to our events in hopes of drawing ourJewish People away from Hashem to the way of Christ. Such hidden secretive blatancy is camouflaged to get as many Jews as possible away from Judaism to the way of Christ!Because JCC's, Jewish Federations are hurting for funds they have loosened the requirements for membership to the great appeal of Galachim Hebrew Messianic Christians rather they realize it or not, this is shameful(Busha) to something that is pronouncedthe Jewish Community Center, allowing interlopers, secret Christ people among us, who will stay quiet about there deep faith in Christ, while pretending long enough to gain from you what they can take back to their own Christ Hebrew Communities just as Fioghi and Mainardi the Jews that converted to Christianity did against us, this must stop and Jewish organizations need to strengthen requirements first by maintaining that only Jews, Tora observant Noahides, that is followers of Judaism, denouncers of Christ can take membership or anything else in a Jewish Organization. This secrecy hurts us, and our Jewish Communities. I talked to a fellow Jewish man at the JCC who said something to the effect that 40 or 50 % of the Jewish Federation memberships are not Jews, they are Goys in this area! Because our Jewish Community is so small in San Antonio TX. This type of problem brings in Christians, Hebrew Christians with there ways, beliefs, doctrines, that can be spread amongst the Jewish members in the most concealing ways in reaching Jewish People, Jewish Children, Jewish Elderly, with settle Yashke, Christ words, invites, booklets, pamphlets, concealed under Jewish looking stuff. This should be prevented at all measures. “Jewish needs to stay Jewish!”

 

The Jewish Community isn't hurting that bad, that Messianic Hebrew Christians, Christians in general need to take up membership and with that membership the encumbrances of Paganism to make up where lack is found, because you take with that membership, that money, the gods ofEgypt, RomeandGreece and place it inside the JCC rather you believe or dismiss this fact. And with this acceptance you accept, what they will at some point share, get around to amongst our Jewish People! Have we forgot, or forsaken what the Tora warns and teaches us in Ex 22.20; 23.13; Lev 26.1; Dt 4.15; 5.7; 11.16; 17.2; 18.9; 27.15; Ps 97.7; Jer 2. 11, 1 Kings 18. 26; Ps 115. 4; 135. 15; Isa 40. 19,41; 44. 9; 46.1; Jer 2.26, Dt 16. 21 for example........

Why don't these Christians, Messianic Hebrew Christians Leave us Jews Alone!!!!

 

Location: Rhine River Valley.

Time Line: 70 CE to 1000 CE.

 

Mainz was one of the cities located in the Rhine river valley that had a large Jewish Population and a fine Yeshivah. Rabbi Amnon, a man of wealth and distinguished ancestry, was the religious leader of the Jews of this city in the first third of the eleventh century. He was friendly with the Bishop of Mainz [Whenever you befriend a Christian, Messianic Hebrew Christians it's only a matter of time, before they start WITNESSING YASHKE, JC to you. It is best not to befriend any of them as they will bother you needlessly over that false messiah. It becomes more of a burden than mutual respect], who helped further the “relatively secure” relationship between the two religious communities. The two men enjoyed each others company, and they spent many hours discussing intellectual matters.

[Yashke content presumably]. Usually, as they parted company, the Bishop would say, “Rabbi Amnon, its time for a man of your intelligence and statute to adopt the true religion[Christianity, thus implying Judaism is the false religion]. When will you

[Rabbi Amnon] set the example for your people and convert?

 

Needless to say, Rabbi Amnon always refused to answer. At one point the Bishop put so much pressure upon Rabbi Amnon that he perceived his request to be more than the habitual closing words of a usually friendly visit [forcefully demanding us leave Judaism for Christianity, that's what ALL CHRISTIANS DO]. To put him off, Rabbi Amnon countered, “Give me three days to consider your request![The Rabbi never nor insinuates an acceptance of Yashke Christ] “The Bishop agreed to wait for Rabbi Amnon's answer.

 

As soon as he left the Bishop's mansion, Rabbi Amnon realized his error. “What did I do?” He cried desperately. “How could I ever utter those words? I could no longer bear the pressure! I only wanted to put him off!” No matter the consequences, I would never consider conversion

[to paganism, to Christ Idolatry]. When Rabbi Amnon did not appear on the third day, the Bishop sent soldiers to Amnon's house to remind him of their appointment. Rabbi Amnon refused to return to the mansion with the soldiers.

 

The Bishop was infuriated. “Return to his house, “ he ordered, and drag him here to me [Some Friend, see how they turn against us very quickly].

The soldiers dragged Rabbi Amnon through the streets of Mainz and stood him before the furious Bishop. “For refusing to come as you agreed, “thundered the Bishop, “you will suffer an agonizing death.” Rabbi Amnon pleaded, “Allow me one last request: let me decree my own fate.(Tov Chutzpah) Let the tongue that dared mention conversion be cut from my mouth.”

 

No shouted the Bishop. “I will order the legs that did not come to keep their appointment to be cut off [Some friend!]. I will order salt to be poured onto your wounds to increase your suffering!” The Bishop's sentence was carried out on Rosh Ha'Shanah. Rabbi Amnon begged his faithful followers to carry him, blessing and dismembered into the Synagogue and on to the Bimah(Midrash Table, Study Table). He [Rabbi Amnon] interrupted the Chazan(Cantor) who was chanting the Musaf prayers, Writhing in pain, he affirmed his faith in G-d with these words:

U'NETANEH TOKEF KEDUSHAT HAYOM, May our sanctification of Your name ascend, For you are our G-d and our King. Let us observe the holiness of this day. This is the day Your Kingdom is exalted, It is established in mercy and truth. You are the Judge of mankind... And You hold each man accountable for his deeds... On Rosh Ha'Shanah day man's destiny is inscribed and on Yom Kippur his fate is sealed... Who will live and who will die... But repentance, prayer and charity avert an evil decree.... And you are Our G-d, Our Living King.

 

As Rabbi Amnon uttered these holy words, his soul ascended heavenward. Three days later, Rabbi Kalonymus Ben Meshullam dreamed that Rabbi Amnon was teaching him the words of U'Netaneh Tokef. In the dream, Rabbi Amnon commanded him to travel throughout the Jewish communities and teach the Jewish people this prayer. Rabbi Kalonymus followed the command in the dream and traveled to many Jewish Communities, teaching this prayer wherever he went.

 

[Ed. Rabbi Amnon's prayer, U'netaneh Tokef Kedushat Hayom is recited today during Rosh Ha'Shanah and Yom Kippur services. It is one of the most solemn prayers of the High Holy Days Liturgy.']
