Introduction
The Talmud is Judaism's holiest book (actually a collection of books). Its
authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. Evidence of this
may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): "My son, be
more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of
the Torah (Old Testament)."
The supremacy of the Talmud over the Bible in the Israeli state may also be
seen in the case of the black Ethiopian Jews. Ethiopians are very knowledgeable
of the Old Testament. However, their religion is so ancient it pre-dates the
Scribes' Talmud, of which the Ethiopians have no knowledge. According to the
N.Y. Times of Sept. 29, 1992, p.4:
"The problem is that Ethiopian Jewish tradition goes no further than the
Bible or Torah; the later Talmud and other commentaries that form the basis of
modern traditions never came their way."
Because they are not traffickers in Talmudic tradition, the black Ethiopian
Jews are discriminated against and have been forbidden by the Zionists to
perform marriages, funerals and other services in the Israeli state.
Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik is regarded as one of the most influential
rabbis of the 20th century, the "unchallenged leader" of Orthodox Judaism and
the top international authority on
halakha (Jewish religious law).
Soloveitchik was responsible for instructing and ordaining more than 2,000
rabbis, "an entire generation" of Jewish leadership.
N.Y. Times religion reporter Ari Goldman described the basis of the
rabbi's authority:
"Soloveitchik came from a long line of distinguished Talmudic
scholars...Until his early 20s, he devoted himself almost exclusively to the
study of the Talmud...He came to Yeshiva University's Elchanan Theological
Seminary where he remained the pre-eminent teacher in the Talmud...He held the
title of Leib Merkin professor of Talmud...sitting with his feet crossed in
front of a table bearing an open volume of the Talmud." (
N.Y. Times,
April 10, 1993, p. 38).
Nowhere does Goldman refer to Soloveitchik's knowledge of the Bible as the
basis for being one of the leading authorities on Jewish law.
The rabbi's credentials are all predicated upon his mastery of the Talmud.
Other studies are clearly secondary. Britain's
Jewish Chronicle of March
26, 1993 states that in religious school (
yeshiva), Jews are "devoted to
the Talmud to the exclusion of everything else."
The Talmud Nullifies the Bible
The Jewish Scribes claim the Talmud is partly a collection of traditions
Moses gave them in oral form. These had not yet been written down in Jesus'
time. Christ condemned the traditions of the Mishnah (early Talmud) and those
who taught it (Scribes and Pharisees), because the Talmud nullifies the
teachings of the Holy Bible.
Shmuel Safrai in
The Literature of the Sages Part One (p.164), points
out that in chapters 4 and 5 of the Talmud's Gittin Tractate, the Talmud
nullifies the Biblical teaching concerning money-lending: "Hillel decreed the
prozbul for the betterment of the world. The
prozbul is a legal
fiction which allows debts to be collected after the Sabbatical year and it was
Hillel's intention thereby to overcome the fear that money-lenders had of losing
their money."
The famous warning of Jesus Christ about the tradition of men that voids
Scripture (Mark 7:1-13), is in fact, a direct reference to the Talmud, or more
specifically, the forerunner of the first part of it, the Mishnah, which existed
in oral form during Christ's lifetime, before being committed to writing. Mark
chapter 7, from verse one through thirteen, represents Our Lord's pointed
condemnation of the Mishnah.
Unfortunately, due to the abysmal ignorance of our day, the widespread
"Judeo-Christian" notion is that the Old Testament is the supreme book of
Judaism. But this is not so. The Pharisees teach for doctrine the commandments
of rabbis, not God.
The Talmudic commentary on the Bible is their supreme law, and not the Bible
itself. That commentary does indeed, as Jesus said, void the laws of God, not
uphold them. As students of the Talmud, we know this to be true.
Jewish scholar Hyam Maccoby, in
Judaism on Trial, quotes Rabbi Yehiel
ben Joseph: "Further, without the Talmud, we would not be able to understand
passages in the Bible...God has handed this authority to the sages and tradition
is a necessity as well as scripture. The Sages also made enactments of their
own...anyone who does not study the Talmud cannot understand Scripture."
There is a tiny Jewish sect which makes considerable effort to eschew Talmud
and adhere to the Old Testament alone. These are the Karaites, a group which,
historically, has been most hated and severely persecuted by orthodox Jewish
rabbinate.
To the Mishnah the rabbis later added the Gemara (rabbinical commentaries).
Together these comprise the Talmud. There are two versions, the Jerusalem Talmud
and the Babylonian Talmud.
The Babylonian Talmud is regarded as the authoritative version: "The
authority of the Babylonian Talmud is also greater than that of the Jerusalem
Talmud. In cases of doubt the former is decisive." (R.C. Musaph-Andriesse,
From Torah to Kabbalah: A Basic Introduction to the Writings of Judaism,
p. 40).
This study is based on the Jewish-authorized Babylonian Talmud. We have
published herein the authenticated sayings of the Jewish Talmud. Look them up
for yourself.
We publish the following irrefutable documentation in the hope of liberating
all people, including Jewish people, from the corrosive delusions and racism of
this Talmudic hate literature, which is the manual of Orthodox and Hasidic Jews
the world over.
The implementation by Jewish supremacists of Talmudic hate literature has
caused untold suffering throughout history and now, in occupied Palestine, it is
used as a justification for the mass murder of Palestinian civilians. The Talmud
specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals.
Some Teachings of the Jewish Talmud
Where a Jew Should Do Evil
Moed Kattan 17a: If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to
a city where he is not known and do the evil there.
Penalty for Disobeying Rabbis
Erubin 21b. Whosoever disobeys the rabbis deserves death and will be punished
by being boiled in hot excrement in hell.
Hitting a Jew is the same as hitting God
Sanhedrin 58b. If a heathen (gentile) hits a Jew, the gentile must be
killed.
O.K. to Cheat Non-Jews
Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a gentile ("Cuthean") the wages owed him
for work.
Jews Have Superior Legal Status
Baba Kamma 37b. "If an ox of an Israelite gores an ox of a Canaanite there is
no liability; but if an ox of a Canaanite gores an ox of an Israelite...the
payment is to be in full."
Jews May Steal from Non-Jews
Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile ("heathen") it
does not have to be returned. (Affirmed also in Baba Kamma 113b). Sanhedrin 76a.
God will not spare a Jew who "marries his daughter to an old man or takes a wife
for his infant son or returns a lost article to a Cuthean..."
Jews May Rob and Kill Non-Jews
Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile ("Cuthean"), there will be no
death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.
Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God
has "exposed their money to Israel."
Jews May Lie to Non-Jews
Baba Kamma 113a. Jews may use lies ("subterfuges") to circumvent a
Gentile.
Non-Jewish Children are Sub-Human
Yebamoth 98a. All gentile children are animals.
Abodah Zarah 36b. Gentile girls are in a state of
niddah (filth) from
birth.
Abodah Zarah 22a-22b . Gentiles prefer sex with cows.
Insults Against Blessed Mary
Sanhedrin 106a . Says Jesus' mother was a whore: "She who was the descendant
of princes and governors played the harlot with carpenters." Also in footnote #2
to Shabbath 104b of the Soncino edition, it is stated that in the "uncensored"
text of the Talmud it is written that Jesus mother, "Miriam the hairdresser,"
had sex with many men.
Gloats over Christ Dying Young
A passage from Sanhedrin 106 gloats over the early age at which Jesus died:
"Hast thou heard how old Balaam (Jesus) was?--He replied: It is not actually
stated but since it is written, Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half
their days it follows that he was thirty-three or thirty-four years old."
Jesus in the Talmud:
Horrible Blasphemies Against Jesus
Christ
While it is the standard disinformation practice of apologists for the Talmud
to deny that it contains any scurrilous references to Jesus Christ, certain
Orthodox Jewish organizations are more forthcoming and admit that the Talmud not
only mentions Jesus but disparages him (as a sorcerer and a demented sex freak).
These orthodox Jewish organizations make this admission perhaps out of the
belief that Jewish supremacy is so well-established in the modern world that
they need not concern themselves with adverse reactions.
For example, on the website of the Orthodox Jewish Hasidic Lubavitch
group--one of the largest in the world--we find the following statement,
complete with Talmudic citations:
"The Talmud (Babylonian edition) records other sins of 'Jesus the
Nazarene':
1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray
into idolatry, and were sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of
subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).
2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is
mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused
to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).
3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures
that involved cutting his flesh, which is also explicitly banned in the Bible
(Shabbos 104b).
End quote from http://www.noahide.com/yeshu.htm (
Lubavitch website) June 20,
2000.
[Note: we have printed and preserved in our files a hard copy of this
statement from the Lubavitch"Noah's Covenant Website," as it appeared on their
website at http://www.noahide.com on June 20, 2000, in the event that denials
are later issued and the statement itself suppressed].
Let us examine further some of these anti-Christ Talmud passages:
Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in "hot excrement."
Sanhedrin 43a. Says Jesus ("Yeshu" and in Soncino footnote #6, Yeshu "the
Nazarene") was executed because he practiced sorcery: "It is taught that on the
eve of Passover Jesus was hung, and forty days before this the proclamation was
made: Jesus is to be stoned to death because he has practiced sorcery and has
lured the people to idolatry...He was an enticer and of such thou shalt not pity
or condone."
Kallah 51a."The elders were once sitting in the gate when two young lads
passed by; one covered his head and the other uncovered his head. Of him who
uncovered his head Rabbi Eliezer remarked that he is a bastard. Rabbi Joshua
remarked that he is the son of a niddah (a child conceived during a woman's
menstrual period). Rabbi Akiba said that he is both a bastard and a son of a
niddah.
"They said, 'What induced you to contradict the opinion of your colleagues?'
He replied, "I will prove it concerning him." He went to the lad's mother and
found her sitting in the market selling beans.
"He said to her, 'My daughter, if you will answer the question I will put to
you, I will bring you to the world to come.' (eternal life). She said to him,
'Swear it to me.'
"Rabbi Akiba, taking the oath with his lips but annulling it in his heart,
said to her, 'What is the status of your son?' She replied, 'When I entered the
bridal chamber I was niddah (menstruating) and my husband kept away from me; but
my best man had intercourse with me and this son was born to me.' Consequently
the child was both a bastard and the son of a niddah.
"It was declared, '..Blessed be the God of Israel Who Revealed His Secret to
Rabbi Akiba..."
In addition to the theme that God rewards clever liars, the preceding Talmud
discussion is actually about Jesus Christ (the bastard boy who "uncovered his
head" and was conceived in the filth of menstruation). The boy's adulterous
mother in this Talmud story is the mother of Christ, Blessed Mary (called Miriam
and sometimes, Miriam the hairdresser, in the Talmud).
"The
Editio Princeps of the complete Code of Talmudic Law, Maimonides'
Mishneh Torah -- replete not only with the most offensive precepts
against all Gentiles but also with explicit attacks on Christianity and on Jesus
(after whose name the author adds piously, 'May the name of the wicked
perish')... --Dr. Israel Shahak,
Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p.
21.
"The Talmud contains a few explicit references to Jesus...These references
are certainly not complimentary...There seems little doubt that the account of
the execution of Jesus on the eve of Passover does refer to the Christian
Jesus...The passage in which Jesus' punishment in hell is described also seems
to refer to the Christian Jesus. It is a piece of anti-Christian polemic dating
from the post-70 CE period..." --Hyam Maccoby,
Judaism on Trial, pp.
26-27.
"According to the Talmud, Jesus was executed by a proper rabbinical court for
idolatry, inciting other Jews to idolatry, and contempt of rabbinical authority.
All classical Jewish sources which mention his execution are quite happy to take
responsibility for it; in the talmudic account the Romans are not even
mentioned.
"The more popular accounts--which were nevertheless taken quite
seriously--such as the notorious Toldot Yeshu are even worse, for in addition to
the above crimes they accuse him of witchcraft. The very name 'Jesus' was for
Jews a symbol of all that is abominable and this popular tradition still
persists...
"The Hebrew form of the name Jesus--Yeshu--was interpreted as an acronym for
the curse, 'may his name and memory be wiped out,' which is used as an extreme
form of abuse. In fact, anti-zionist Orthodox Jews (such as Neturey Qarta)
sometimes refer to Herzl as 'Herzl Jesus' and I have found in religious zionist
writings expressions such as "Nasser Jesus" and more recently 'Arafat Jesus."
--Dr. Israel Shahak,
Jewish History, Jewish Religion, pp. 97- 98,
118.
Talmud Attacks Christians and Christian Books
Rosh Hashanah 17a. Christians (
minnim) and others who reject the
Talmud will go to hell and be punished there for all generations.
Sanhedrin 90a. Those who read the New Testament ("uncanonical books") will
have no portion in the world to come.
Shabbath 116a. Jews must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New
Testament.
Dr. Israel Shahak of Hebrew University reports that the Israelis burned
hundreds of New Testament Bibles in occupied Palestine on March 23, 1980 (cf.
Jewish History, Jewish Religion, p. 21).
Sick and Insane Teachings of the Talmud
Gittin 69a . To heal his flesh a Jew should take dust that lies within the
shadow of an outdoor toilet, mix with honey and eat it.
Shabbath 41a. The law regulating the rule for how to urinate in a holy way is
given.
Yebamoth 63a. States that Adam had sexual intercourse with all the animals in
the Garden of Eden.
Yebamoth 63a. Declares that agriculture is the lowest of occupations.
Sanhedrin 55b. A Jew may marry a three year old girl (specifically, three
years "and a day" old).
Sanhedrin 54b. A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child is less
than nine years old.
Kethuboth 11b. "When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is
nothing."
Yebamoth 59b. A woman who had intercourse with a beast is eligible to marry a
Jewish priest. A woman who has sex with a demon is also eligible to marry a
Jewish priest.
Abodah Zarah 17a. States that there is not a whore in the world that the
Talmudic sage Rabbi Eleazar has not had sex with.
On one of his
whorehouse romps, Rabbi Eleazar leanred that there was one particular prostitute
residing in a whorehouse near the sea, who would receive a bag of money for her
services. He took a bag of money and went to her, crossing seven rivers to do
so. During their intercourse the prostitute farted. After this the whore told
Rabbi Eleazar: "Just as this gas will never return to my anus, Rabbi Eleazar
will never get to heaven."
Hagigah 27a. States that no rabbi can ever go to hell.
Baba Mezia 59b. A rabbi debates God and defeats Him. God admits the rabbi won
the debate.
Gittin 70a. The Rabbis taught: "On coming from a privy (outdoor toilet) a man
should not have sexual intercourse till he has waited long enough to walk half a
mile, because the demon of the privy is with him for that time; if he does, his
children will be epileptic."
Gittin 69b. To heal the disease of pleurisy ("catarrh") a Jew should "take
the excrement of a white dog and knead it with balsam, but if he can possibly
avoid it he should not eat the dog's excrement as it loosens the limbs."
Pesahim 111a. It is forbidden for dogs, women or palm trees to pass between
two men, nor may others walk between dogs, women or palm trees. Special dangers
are involved if the women are menstruating or sitting at a crossroads.
Menahoth 43b-44a. A Jewish man is obligated to say the following prayer every
day: Thank you God for not making me a gentile, a woman or a slave.
Tall Tales of a Roman Holocaust
Here are two early "Holocaust" tales from the Talmud: Gittin 57b. Claims that
four billion Jews were killed by the Romans in the city of Bethar. Gittin 58a
claims that 16 million Jewish children were wrapped in scrolls and burned alive
by the Romans. (Ancient demography indicates that there were not 16 million Jews
in the entire world at that time, much less 16 million Jewish children or four
billion Jews).
A Revealing Admission
Abodah Zarah 70a. The question was asked of the rabbi whether wine stolen in
Pumbeditha might be used or if it was defiled, due to the fact that the thieves
might have been gentiles (a gentile touching wine would make the wine unclean).
The rabbi says not to worry, that the wine is permissible for Jewish use because
the majority of the thieves in Pumbeditha, the place where the wine was stolen,
are Jews. (Also cf. Gemara Rosh Hashanah 25b).
Pharisaic Rituals
Erubin 21b. "Rabbi Akiba said to him, "Give me some water to wash my
hands."
"It will not suffice for drinking," the other complained, "will it suffice
for washing your hands?"
"What can I do?' the former replied, "when for neglecting the words of the
Rabbis one deserves death? It is better that I myself should die than that I
transgress against the opinion of my colleagues." [This is the ritual hand
washing condemned by Jesus in Matthew 15: 1-9].
Genocide Advocated by the Talmud
Minor Tractates. Soferim 15, Rule 10. This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben
Yohai:
Tob shebe goyyim harog ("Even the best of the gentiles should all
be killed").
This passage is from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted
by the 1907
Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnalls and
compiled by Isidore Singer, under the entry, "Gentile," (p. 617).
This original Talmud passage has been concealed in translation. The
Jewish
Encyclopedia states that, "...in the various versions the reading has been
altered, 'The best among the Egyptians' being generally substituted." In the
Soncino version: "the best of the heathens" (Minor Tractates, Soferim
41a-b].
Israelis annually take part in a national pilgrimage to the grave of Simon
ben Yohai, to honor this rabbi who advocated the extermination of non-Jews.
(
Jewish Press, June 9, 1989, p. 56B).
On Purim, Feb. 25, 1994, Israeli army officer Baruch Goldstein, an orthodox
Jew from Brooklyn, massacred 40 Palestinian civilians, including children, while
they knelt in prayer in a mosque. Goldstein was a disciple of the late Brooklyn
Rabbi Meir Kahane, who told CBS News that his teaching that Arabs are "dogs" is
derived "from the Talmud." (CBS
60 Minutes, "Kahane").
University of Jerusalem Prof. Ehud Sprinzak described Kahane and Goldstein's
philosophy: "They believe it's God's will that they commit violence against
goyim, a Hebrew term for non-Jews." (
NY Daily News, Feb. 26, 1994,
p. 5).
Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg declared, "We have to recognize that Jewish blood and
the blood of a
goy are not the same thing." (
NY Times, June 6,
1989, p.5).
Rabbi Yaacov Perrin said, "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish
fingernail." (
NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6).
Talmudic Doctrine: Non-Jews are not Human
The Talmud specifically defines all who are not Jews as non-human animals,
and specifically dehumanizes Gentiles as not being descendants of Adam. Here are
some of the Talmud passages which relate to this topic.
Kerithoth 6b: Uses of Oil of Anointing. "Our Rabbis have taught: He who pours
the oil of anointing over cattle or vessels is not guilty; if over gentiles
(goyim) or the dead, he is not guilty. The law relating to cattle and vessels is
right, for it is written: "Upon the flesh of man (Adam), shall it not be poured
(Exodus 30:32]); and cattle and vessels are not man (Adam).
"Also with regard to the dead, [it is plausible] that he is exempt, since
after death one is called corpse and not a man (Adam). But why is one exempt in
the case of gentiles (goyim); are they not in the category of man (Adam)? No, it
is written: 'And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are man" (Adam); [Ezekiel
34:31]: Ye are called man (Adam) but gentiles (goyim) are not called man
(Adam)."
In the preceding passage, the rabbis are discussing the portion of the Mosaic
law which forbids applying the holy oil to men.
The Talmud states that it is not a sin to apply the holy oil to Gentiles,
because Gentiles are not human beings (i.e. are not of Adam).
Another example from tractate Yebamoth 61a: "It was taught: And so did R.
Simeon ben Yohai state (61a) that the graves of gentiles (goyim) do not impart
levitical uncleanness by an
ohel [standing or bending over a grave], for
it is said, 'And ye my sheep the sheep of my pasture, are men (Adam), [Ezekiel
34:31]; you are called men (Adam) but the idolaters are not called men
(Adam)."
The Old Testament Mosaic law states that touching a human corpse or the grave
of a human imparts uncleanness to those who touch it. But the Talmud teaches
that if a Jew touches the grave of a Gentile, the Jew is
not rendered
unclean, since Gentiles are not human (not of Adam).
From Baba Mezia 114b: ""A Jewish priest was standing in a graveyard. When
asked why he was standing there in apparent violation of the Mosaic law, he
replied that it was permissible, since the law only prohibits Jews from coming
into contact with the graves of humans (Adamites), and he was standing in a
gentile graveyard. For it has been taught by Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: 'The graves
of gentiles [goyim] do not defile. For it is written, 'And ye my flock, the
flock of my pastures, are men (Adam)' (Ezekiel 34:31); only ye are designated
men (Adam)."
Ezekiel 34:31 is the alleged Biblical proof text repeatedly cited in the
preceding three Talmud passages. But Ezekiel 34:31 does not in fact support the
Talmudic notion that only Israelites are human. What these rabbinical,
anti-Gentile racists and ideologues have done in asserting the preceding
absurdities about Gentiles is distort an Old Testament passage in order to
justify their bigotry.
In Berakoth 58a the Talmud uses Ezekiel 23:20 as proof of the sub-human
status of gentiles. It also teaches that anyone (even a Jewish man) who reveals
this Talmudic teaching about non-Jews deserves death, since revealing it makes
Gentiles wrathful and causes the repression of Judaism.
The Talmudic citation of this scripture from Ezekiel as a "proof-text" is
specious, since the passage does not prove that Gentiles are animals. The
passage from Ezekiel only says that some Egyptians had large genital organs and
copious emissions. This does not in any way prove or even connote that the
Egyptians being referred to in the Bible were considered animals. Once again,
the Talmud has falsified the Bible by means of distorted interpretation.
Other Talmud passages which expound on Ezekiel 23:20 in this racist fashion
are: Arakin 19b, Berakoth 25b, Niddah 45a, Shabbath 150a, Yebamoth 98a.
Moreover, the original text of Sanhedrin 37a applies God's approval only to the
saving of Jewish lives (cf. the
Hesronot Ha-shas, Cracow, 1894).
Moses Maimonides: Advocate of Extermination
We will now examine the post-Talmudic commentator Rambam (Moses Maimonides).
This revered "sage" taught that Christians should be exterminated. He has the
highest stature in Judaism:
"Moses Maimonides is considered the greatest codifier and philosopher in
Jewish history. He is often affectionately referred to as the Rambam, after the
initials of his name and title, Rabenu Moshe Ben Maimon, "Our Rabbi, Moses son
of Maimon." [
Maimonides' Principles, edited by Aryeh Kaplan, Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America,, p. 3].
Here is what Maimonides (Rambam) taught concerning saving people's lives,
especially concerning saving the lives of gentiles and Christians, or even Jews
who dared to deny the "divine inspiration" of the Talmud:
Maimonides,
Mishnah Torah, (Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn,
New York, 1990, Chapter 10, English Translation), p. 184: "Accordingly, if we
see an idolater (gentile) being swept away or drowning in the river, we should
not help him. If we see that his life is in danger, we should not save him." The
Hebrew text of the Feldheim 1981 edition of
Mishnah Torah states this as
well.
Immediately after Maimonides' admonition that it is a duty for Jews not to
save a drowning or perishing gentile, he informs us of the Talmudic duty of Jews
towards Christians, and also towards Jews who deny the Talmud. Maimonides,
Mishnah Torah, (Chapter 10), p. 184:
"It is a
mitzvah [religious duty], however, to eradicate Jewish
traitors,
minnim, and
apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to
the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the
people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok,
Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot."
The Jewish publisher's commentary accompanying the preceding statement of
Maimonides states that Jesus was an example of a
min (plural:
minnim).
The commentary also states that the students of Tzadok were defined as those
Jews who deny the truth of the Talmud and who uphold only the written law (i.e.
the Old Testament).
According to Maimonides'
Principles, p. 5, Maimonides "spent twelve
years extracting every decision and law from the Talmud, and arranging them all
into 14 systematic volumes. The work was finally completed in 1180, and was
called Mishnah Torah, or "Code of the Torah."
Maimonides taught in another part of the
Mishnah Torah that gentiles
are not human: "Man alone, and not vessels, can contract uncleanness by
carriage. ...The corpse of a gentile, however, does not convey uncleanness by
overshadowing. ...a gentile does not contract corpse uncleanness; and if a
gentile touches, carries, or overshadows a corpse he is as one who did not touch
it.
"To what is this like? It is like a beast which touches a corpse or
overshadows it. And this applies not to corpse uncleanness only but to any other
kind of uncleanness: neither gentiles nor cattle are susceptible to any
uncleanness." (
The Code of Maimonides, vol. 10, translated by Herbert
Danby, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1954, pp. 8-9).
Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Rotze'ach 2:11: "A Jew who killed a
righteous gentile is not executed in a court of law. It says in Exodus 21:14,
'If a man schemes against his fellow man and kills the man deliberately, take
him away from the altar and put him to death.' But a gentile is not considered a
man, and even more so, a Jew is not executed for killing an unrighteous
gentile."
The Schindler's List Quote
The Talmud (i.e., the Babylonian Talmud) text of Sanhedrin 37a restricts the
duty to save life to saving only Jewish lives.
The book on Hebrew censorship, written by Jews themselves (
Hesronot
Ha-shas), notes that some Talmud texts use the universalist phrase:
"Whoever destroys the life of a single human being...it is as if he had
destroyed an entire world; and whoever preserves the life of a single human
being ...it is as if he had preserved an entire world."
However,
Hesronot Ha-shas points out that these are not the authentic
words of the original Talmud.
In other words, the preceding universalist rendering is not the authentic
text of the Talmud and thus, for example, this universalist version which Steven
Spielberg in his famous movie,
Schindler's List attributed to the Talmud
(and which became the motto of the movie on posters and in advertisements), is a
hoax and constitutes propaganda intended to give a humanistic gloss to a Talmud
which is, in its essence, racist and chauvinist hate literature.
In the authentic, original Talmud text it states that "whoever preserves a
single soul of
Israel, it is as if he had preserved an entire world"
(emphasis supplied). The authentic Talmud text sanctions only the saving of
Jewish lives.
Jewish Deception and
Dissimulation
The response of the orthodox rabbis to documentation regarding the racism and
hatred in their sacred texts is simply to brazenly lie, in keeping with the
Talmud's Baba Kamma 113a which states that Jews may use lies ("subterfuge") to
circumvent a Gentile.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a multi-million dollar rabbinical propaganda
center dispatched Rabbi Daniel Landes in 1995 to deny that the Talmud
dehumanizes non-Jews. "This is utter rot," he said. His proof? Why, his word, of
course.
Lying to "circumvent a Gentile" has a long patrimony in Judaism. Take for
example the 13th century Talmud debate in Paris between Nicholas of Donin, a
Jewish convert to Christianity, whom Hyam Maccoby admits had "a good knowledge
of the Talmud" (
"The Jews on Trial," p. 26) and Rabbi Yehiel. Yehiel was
not under threat of death, bodily injury, imprisonment or fine. Yet he brazenly
lied during the course of the debate.
When asked by Donin whether there were attacks on Jesus in the Talmud, Yehiel
denied that there were any. Donin, a Hebrew and Aramaic scholar, knew this to be
false. Hyam Maccoby, a 20th century Jewish commentator on the debate, defends
Rabbi Yehiel's lying in this way:
"The question may be asked, however, whether Yehiel really believed that
Jesus was not mentioned in the Talmud, or whether he put this forward as an
ingenious ploy in the desperate situation in which he found himself...It would
certainly have been pardonable of the rabbi to attempt some condonation in which
he did not fully believe, to prevent such tyrannical proceedings by one
religious culture against another." ( Maccoby,
"The Jews on Trial," p.
28).
This is how Jewish denial of the existence of hateful Talmud texts is
justified to this day. A fanciful word for Jewish lying is conjured
("condonation") and deemed "pardonable," while any scrutiny of Jewish holy books
by Christian investigators is characterized as a "tyrannical proceeding."
In 1994, Rabbi Tzvi Marx, director of Applied Education at the Shalom Hartman
Institute in Jerusalem, made a remarkable admission concerning how Jewish rabbis
in the past have issued two sets of texts: the authentic Talmudic texts with
which they instruct their own youth in the Talmud schools (yeshiviot) and
"censured and amended" versions which they disseminate to gullible non-Jews for
public consumption.
Rabbi Marx states that in the version of Maimonides' teachings published for
public consumption, Maimonides is made to say that whoever kills a human being
transgresses the law.
But, Rabbi Marx points out "...this only reflects the censured and amended
printed text, whereas the original manuscripts have it only as 'whoever kills an
Israelite."(
Tikkun: A Bi-Monthly Jewish Critique May-June, 1994).
The Jewish book,
Hesronot Ha-shas ("that which is removed from the
Talmud"), is important in this regard. (Cf. William Popper,
The Censorship of
Hebrew Books p. 59).
Hesronot Ha-shas was reprinted in 1989 by Sinai Publishing of
Tel-Aviv.
Hesronot Ha-shas is valuable because it lists both the original
Talmud texts that were later changed or omitted, and the falsified texts cited
for Gentile consumption as authentic.
Historian William Popper states: "It was not always that long passages...were
censored...but often single words alone were omitted...Often, in these cases,
another method of correction was used in place of omission--substitution." (Cf.
William Popper,
The Censorship of Hebrew Books pp. 58-59).
For example, the translators of the English Soncino version of the Talmud
sometimes render the Hebrew word goyim (Gentiles) under any number of disguise
words such as "heathen, Cuthean, Kushite, Egyptian, idolater" etc. But these are
actually references to Gentiles (all non-Jews). Footnotes for certain passages
in the Soncino Talmud translation state: "Cuthean (Samaritan) was here
substituted for the original goy..."
The heirs of the Pharisees often deny the existence of the Talmud passages
here cited, in order to brazenly claim that such passages are the "fabrications
of anti-Semites."
In 1994, the 80 year old Lady Jane Birdwood was arrested and prosecuted in a
criminal court in London, England for the "crime" of publishing in her pamphlet,
The Longest Hatred, the truthful statement that the Talmud contains
anti-Gentile and anti-Christian passages. (She was accused of violating the
Public Order Act of 1986).
In the course of her Orwellian thought-crime trial, which was ignored by the
U.S. media, a rabbi was called as a prosecution witness. The rabbi proceeded to
flatly deny that the Talmud contained anti-Gentile or anti-Christian passages
and on the basis of the rabbi's "prestige," this elderly and ailing woman was
sentenced to three months in jail and fined the equivalent of $1,000.
"Judeo-Christian" Response to the Talmud
Neither the modern popes or the modern heads of Protestantism, have ever
insisted that the rabbis of Judaism repudiate or condemn the racism in the
Talmud or the murderous hate for Christians and gentiles expressed within it. On
the contrary, the heads of Churchianity have urged the followers of Christ to
obey, honor and support the followers of the Talmud. Therefore, it should be
obvious that these Catholic and Protestant leaders are the worst betrayers of
Jesus Christ on earth today. (Cf. Matthew 23:13-15; I Thess. 2:14-16; Titus
1:14; Luke 3:8-9; Rev. 3:9).
Non-Jews are "Supernal Refuse"
Moreover, not only Christians but non-Christians of all races are regarded as
"supernal refuse" (garbage) by Talmud teachers such as the founder of
Habad-Lubavitch, Rabbi Shneur Zalman.
This was analyzed in the Jewish magazine,
New Republic: "...there are
some powerful ironies in Habad's new messianic universalism, in its mission to
the gentiles; and surely the most unpleasant of them concerns Habad's otherwise
undisguised and even racial contempt for the
goyim.
"...medieval Jewish theologians--most notably the poet and philosopher Judah
Ha-Levi in twelfth-century Spain and the mystic Judah Loewe in sixteenth-century
Prague--sought to define the Jewish distinction racially rather than
spiritually...this...view, according to which there is something innately
superior about the Jews, was rehabilitated in its most extreme form by Shneur
Zalman of Lyady. The founder of Lubavitcher Hasidism taught that there is a
difference of essence between the souls of Jews and the souls of gentiles, that
only in the Jewish soul does there reside a spark of divine vitality.
"As for the
goyim...Zalman's attitude (was): 'Gentile souls are of a
completely different and inferior order. They are totally evil, with no
redeeming qualities whatsoever.'
"Consequently, references to gentiles in Rabbi Shneur Zalman's teachings are
invariably invidious. Their (non-Jews) material abundance derives from supernal
refuse. Indeed, they themselves derive from refuse, which is why they are more
numerous than the Jews, as the pieces of chaff outnumber the kernels...All Jews
were innately good, all gentiles innately evil.
"...Moreover, this characterization of gentiles as being inherently evil, as
being spiritually as well as biologically inferior to Jews, has not in any way
been revised in later Habad writing." --
The New Republic, May 4, 1992.

(Northvale, New Jersey, Jason Aronson, Inc., 1993) pp. 108-109.
U.S. Government Lays Groundwork for Talmudic Courts
"Our" government under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, has provided,
under the euphemism of education (for example, House Joint Resolution 173 and
Public Law 102-14), a groundwork for the establishment of Talmudic "courts of
justice" to be administered by disciples of Shneur Zalman's Chabad successor,
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
Maimonides ruled that it is a Jewish court -- or a court appointed by Jewish
authority --that enforces obedience and passes judgment on Gentiles, as well as
promulgating
legislation by court order for that purpose.
Maimonides further decreed that any non-Jewish nation "not subject to our
jurisdiction" (
tahaht yadeinu) will be the target of Jewish holy war.
(Cf. Hilkhot Melakhim 8:9-10; 10:11. Also cf. Gerald J. Blidstein, "Holy War in
Maimonidean Law," in
Perspectives on Maimonides [Oxford, England: Oxford
Univ. Press, 1991].
These courts are to be convened allegedly under the "Noahide
Laws" (proscriptions against idolatry supposedly based on the covenant with
Noah). The U.S. presidents and Congress urged the adoption of the "Noahide" Laws
as interpreted by Chabad-Lubavitch Grand Rabbi Schneerson.
Prof. Easterly of the Southern University Law Center, a Jewish legal expert,
has compared this Public law 102-14 to the "first rays of dawn" which "evidence
the rising of a still unseen sun."
The
Jewish Encyclopedia envisages a Noahide regime as a possible world
order immediately preceding the universal reign of the Talmud.
It has to be understood that we are not dealing with the Noah of the Bible
when the religion of Judaism refers to "Noahide law," but the Noahide law as
understood and interpreted by the absolute system of falsification that
constitutes the Talmud.
Under the Talmud's counterfeit Noahide Laws, the worship of Jesus is
forbidden under penalty of death, since such worship of Christ is condemned by
Judaism as idolatry. Meanwhile various forms of incest are permitted under the
Talmudic understanding of the Noahide code. (
Enziklopediya Talmudit, note
1, pp. 351-352).
Furthermore, all non-Jews would have the legal status of
ger toshav
("resident alien," cf. Alan Unterman,
Dictionary of Jewish Lore and Legend
[London: Thames and Hudson, 1991]
, p. 148), even in their own land;
as for example in occupied Palestine where newly arrived Khazars from Russia
have an automatic right to housing and citizenship, while two million
Palestinian refugees who either fled or were expelled by the Israelis, are
forbidden the right of return.
Resident alien status has been clearly delineated in scholarly articles in
leading Jewish publications. For example, Hebrew University Professor Mordechai
Nisan, basing his exposition on Maimonides, stated that a non-Jew permitted to
reside in a land ruled by Jewish law "must accept paying a tax and suffering the
humiliation of servitude."
If Gentiles refuse to live a life of inferiority, then this signals their
rebellion and the unavoidable necessity of Jewish warfare against their very
presence. [Cf. Mordechai Nisan,
Kivunim (official publication of the
World Zionist Organization), August, 1984, pp. 151-156].
At a symposium ("Is Autonomy for Resident Aliens Feasible?") organized by
Israeli Minister of Education Shulamit Aloni, the Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo
Goren repeated the Talmudic teaching on resident aliens: that Judaism forbids
"granting any national rights" to them. He ruled that such "Autonomy is
tantamount to a denial of the Jewish religion." (Nadav Shraggai,
Ha'aretz, Oct. 14, 1992).
American taxpayers' subsidy of the so-called "U.S. Holocaust Museum" in
Washington, D.C., is yet another indicator of the gradual establishment of a
Jewish state religion in the U.S. This "Holocaust museum" excludes any reference
to holocausts perpetrated by Jewish Communists against Christians in Russia and
Eastern Europe, from 1917 onward.
The focus of the museum is almost entirely on Jewish suffering. Holocausts
perpetrated by Israelis against Arabs in Lebanon and Palestine since 1948 are
nowhere to be found in the exhibits of the U.S. "Holocaust Museum," which
functions more like a synagogue than a repository of objective historical
information.
It is through the rapid emergence of this ostensibly secular but
all-pervasive "Holocaustianity" -- whereby the religion of Judaism is gaining
enormous power and influence as mankind's supreme ethos and the creed of God's
Holy People.
Jewish Law Requires Christians be Executed
Israeli "Torah scholars" have ruled that:
"The Torah maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the
World to Come. But not all religious Gentiles earn eternal life by virtue of
observing their religion...And while the Christians do generally accept the
Hebrew Bible as truly from God, many of them (those who accept the so-called
divinity of Jesus) are idolaters according to the Torah, punishable by death,
and certainly will not enjoy the World to Come."

Jewish Superstitions
It is not for nothing that the authoritative edition of the Talmud is known
as the Babylonian Talmud. As Christians misled by their Judaizing preachers and
popes are increasingly consulting Jewish rabbinical sources for a "pure"
understanding of the Old Testament, they are unknowingly consulting the
occult.
Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees and the patrimony of Babylon, from
whence the Talmudic and Kabbalistic traditions of Judaism ultimately derive.
Orthodox Judaism's other sacred book, the
Kabbalah, is filled with
astrological teachings, fortune-telling, gematria, necromancy and
demonology.
The photograph on the cover of this publication's hard copy version shows an
orthodox Jew performing a ritual to transfer his sins to the chicken he is
waving over his head. This is pernicious superstition.
Furthermore, the Israeli "Star of David," is actually nothing of the kind,
but rather an occult hexagram, a yantra of the androgyne, which became
associated with the Khazars in 14th century Bohemia. (The misnamed "state of
Israel" was founded in 1948 in an alliance between Jewish Communists and
atheistic Zionists, with crucial U.N. recognition provided by Soviet Communist
dictator Joseph Stalin).
Christians might find it eye-opening to visit a Hasidic Jewish area during
"Purim" and observe the grotesque, Halloween-like cavorting. Though the Purim
festival uses the Book of Esther as its supposed proof-text, in practice the
Jewish celebration of Purim is little more than a Bacchanal (cf. "Superstitions
said legacy from Jewish ancestors,"
Canadian Jewish News, Nov. 16, 1989,
p. 58).
Orthodox rabbis place curses, cast spells and imagine they have powers
greater than God, derived from their study of the
Sefer Yezriah, (a book
of Kabbalistic magic). Christians are trafficking in Babylonian paganism when
they defer to the rabbis of Judaism.
Sodomy in the synagogue
From a report published in the Hebrew language Israeli
newspaper Ha'aretz
"...for many years, (Talmud scribe) Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel...sodomized
ultra-Orthodox boys. The greatest rabbis knew - and did nothing...
"At the age of 11, Moisheleh, the strongest fellow in the talmud torah
(school for ultra-Orthodox boys), went up to Shaiya Brizel and said to him:
'Kid, I want you know that your father is not the holy man you think he is. He
is a homo.' ...Brizel was a scion of the Brizel family, which founded ...the
mysterious organization that imposes moral order on the ultra-Orthodox
ghetto...
"Had the father, Yaakov Yitzhak Brizel ...contented himself with homosexual
relations with adults, it is reasonable to suppose that we would never have
heard his son's story.
"However, in his book,
The Silence of the Ultra-Orthodox, published a
few weeks ago, the son claims that for decades his father ...sodomized yeshiva
students. He committed the act in empty synagogues during the hours between
prayers and in other places.
"The greatest of the ultra-Orthodox rabbis...like Rabbi Landau and the
halachic sage Shmuel Halevi Hausner of Bnei Brak, knew and kept silent. The
father was a Hasid heart and soul, and went to a number of rebbes.... the twin
brother of the rebbe from Rehovot, the Rebbe of Kretschnif in Kiryat Gat, was
happy to accept the father among his followers. Ultimately, claims Brizel, it
was not easy for the Rebbe from Kiryat Gat to be picky when he could win such a
respected adherent.
"...The proud father with the look of an honored rebbe, who observed all the
commandments from the slightest to the most important, used to pray at a certain
yeshiva with the young boys. There, claims Shaiya Brizel, he hunted his victims.
When the head of the yeshiva discovered the true reason that the respected Torah
scribe was praying fervently at his yeshiva, he did not contact the
police...
"Before the publication of his book, Shaiya Brizel met with the yeshiva head.
'You are right that we covered up for him,' admitted the man. 'I and a few other
rabbis...I was busy trying to calm things down and hushing up the affair so that
it would not get publicized.'
"(The son) published the book using real names. His entire family and almost
all the rabbis appear under their own names. Only the names of some of the
localities and the head of the yeshiva are disguised. To protect himself from a
legal point of view, Brizel held a series of conversations with members of his
family and rabbis, in which he demanded explanations of why they had covered up
for his father's misbehavior. He secretly recorded all these conversations, even
with his mother.
"If I had written without the names it would have been fiction and this
certainly did not suit me," he explained. 'I wanted things to change, for
ultra-Orthodox society to know that it can attempt to hide things and be hidden,
but even if it takes 30 years, a Golem will always rise up against its creator
and reveal everything. In this case, I was the Golem.'
"When Rachel Brizel, the daughter of a good Bnei Brak family, married an
arranged match from the glorious Brizel family, she had no idea that she was
destroying her own life. After six months, she caught her husband having sex
with another man. In that case, at least it was with an adult.
"Shaiya Brizel relates that some of the boys with whom his father had
relations sent letters of complaint to their own fathers; in the discreet
ultra-Orthodox society they had no one else to whom they could complain.
Shaiya Brizel: author of a book telling of sodomy in the
synagogue
"When she read these letters, my mother went out of her mind,' writes Brizel.
'Every such letter made her want to demand a divorce. Again and again batteries
of mediators, the Brizel rabbis, would show up, whose job it was to calm her
down so that, heaven forbid, she would not destroy the good name of the Brizel
family.
"They could live with the fact that one of their own had raped minors, but
for them divorce was an impossible situation.'
"...Twice, once during prayers in a synagogue, and once during a Gemara
(Talmud) study hour at Rabbi Eliezer Shach's Ponevezh Yeshiva, ultra-Orthodox
men who were strangers to him touched his sexual organ, presumably on the
assumption that he followed in his father's footsteps. The first time, he made a
fuss, only to discover that the only thing that interested the people there was
to hush the whole thing up. The second time, he made do with a whispered warning
to the man.
"Shaiya Brizel is now 36 and the father of three; he works as an
accountant.
"His father, 65, was forced to leave home several years ago and return to his
elderly parents' apartment. Shaiya wrote this book after a suicide attempt in
June.
'For all those years I was half dead. For the past five years I have been
getting psychological treatment. During my talks with the psychologist I decided
that I was going to spew out all this ugliness in the form of a book.'
"He took into account that there would be violent reactions to the
book...which only came out a few weeks ago...Brizel suffers from a serious heart
defect, which could cause his death. As a way of protecting himself, he has
deposited a letter with three lawyers that contains serious allegations about
the Eda Haredit, and he has informed the relevant people.
"Recently, he has moved to a new apartment, and he lives in the National
Religious sector of a mixed community of National Religious and ultra-Orthodox
families. Naturally, he started praying at the only Hasidic synagogue in the
settlement. After the book came out, associates of the local rebbe (rabbi)
informed him that he was
persona non grata.
"Ironically, this same rebbe had come to the area after being compelled to
leave several other communities on suspicion of having sodomized his pupils. In
ultra-Orthodox society, revealing that acts of sodomy have been committed is a
far graver offense than committing them.
"On the day the book was published, Brizel met with the head of the Hachemei
Lublin Yeshiva, Rabbi Avraham Vazner. 'He told me that publishing the book was a
million times worse than what my father had done...'
"
Ha'aretz has been unable to obtain a response from Rabbi Yaakov
Yitzhak Brizel. At his parents' home, a woman replied: "We don't care. Shaiya is
a liar and there is nothing more to be said."
"
Ha'aretz also requested the Brizels' response through the Eda Haredit
activist Yehuda Meshi- Zahav. By the time the article went to press, there was
no response through this channel either.
"Several weeks ago the father responded to the women's magazine
La'isha, saying that he would sue the publishers, which has not yet
happened. It is unlikely that it will happen.
"Shaiya Brizel was ready to put off publication of the book, on condition
that the family sue him in a rabbinical court, in which the affair would be
aired. He has said that no one in the family was prepared to take up the
challenge.
"In the conversation with
La'isha, the father said that he was indeed
a homosexual, 'But I have had treatment and today I am no longer like that. All
this is behind me.'
"In reply to a question as to whether he had sexual relations with minors, he
replied: 'Perhaps I will talk about that some other time.' He accused his son
Shaiya of being 'the only one who is after me. He has destroyed my life...He
wrote this only for the money. He wanted money from me...Because of him I
separated from my wife.'
"Shaiya's sister, Rivka Hubert, spoke with great anger to the
La'isha
reporter about the fact that her brother had revealed the names of the persons
involved, and declared: 'We deny everything it says in the book."

Ahora es cuando llegaría el momento de explicarles por qué se hizo tan famosa esta teoría, no científica, ni mucho menos, como ya les decíamos. Pero también comienza lo complicado, ya que esta teoría es harto compleja, larga de explicar en toda sus dimensiones. De forma resumida, que no simplista, se podría afirmar que intenta explicar los acontecimientos y comportamientos del mundo en una fórmula 'numerológica'.
