In the words of Rambam, I am perplexed. Once again I find myself in a crisis of faith. We are told that there is more Torah being learned, more tzedaka being given and more chesed being done today than at any time in Jewish history. Yet Hashem is still permitting the anti-Semites to plot against us, to fight us physically in the streets of Brooklyn, France and everywhere in between and curse us. We are told that Hashem will watch over us and protect us from our enemies. Where is Hashem’s answer to all that is being done to us now?
Hi everyone!
I’m not online much at all these days; an observer shared this with me. I responded what to post, but it was left to me.“We are told that there is more Torah being learned, more tzedaka being given and more chesed being done today than at any time in Jewish history.”
Those that are being told this aren’t the ones that are purportedly the outstanding Torah learners, tzedaka givers, or chessed doers. I would assume that those outstanding people have a different question than yours.
In sum, it would follow to say that precisely because we are being told these things and not doing our utmost to partake in it, is why all this is happening to us.
Approximately 10% to 20% of Jews are Orthodox and Shomer-Shabbat.
Other Jews are intermarrying with non-Jews at a rate much higher than 50%.
Hundreds of thousands of Jews have converted to the religions of the Gentiles.
Even among Orthodox Jews, there are HUGE amounts of Lashon HaRa being spoken.
When people hear Lashon HaRa, the result that occurs most often is that
the listeners immediately accept the Lashon HaRa as being 100% true,
even without the smallest amount of evidence,
and even when the person who started the rumor is stupid and wicked.There are more problems, but I want to limit the length of this comment,
and also limit the amount of time that I spend writing this comment.Learn Navi and you’ll have your answer. Nothing is new. Just do yours, Hashem will do His.
Don’t be so arrogant to think you know better.5T, maybe compare your nisayonos with how we lived in the previous centuries? I don’t think any of five towns is surrounded by a wall with a church at the entrance, like Rome ghetto did.
This is the fourth thread basically saying the same question and you’ve got numerous answers on the other thread
I suggest counseling for ptsd
>>>We are told that there is more Torah being learned, more tzedaka being given and more chesed being done today than at any time in Jewish history.
Firstly who told you that? Secondly even if true, since the first Beis Hamakidash there was no probably no time in Jewish history that had the favorable external circumstances allowing for Torah being learned and tzedaka being given. (I’ve never heard anyone make that claim about chesed) Thirdly antisemites have bechira even today
Hashem is hiding under a lace top Sheitel & his face is blocked by a smartphone.
Hashem is here, Hashem is there, Hashem is truly everywhere.
One ger tzedek asked a similar question: we have now 100 times more yeshiva students than at the time of Rambam. Where are 100 Rambams?
5TResident:
In short, if you are a Zionist, then it is very understandable why you are confused.The root cause of antisemitism is, of course, assimilation. Zionism is an extremely strong force of assimilation. Its very purpose is to change Jews and Judaism into Zionists and Zionism – without G-d and Torah, of course.
(Over the past few years, particularly since the snakes at “Eretz HaKodesh” began spewing their lies and propaganda, Zionism has unfortunately infiltrated the frum world like never before. This is very, very, concerning, Hashem Yishmereinu!)
When the Zionist paradise was founded (in 1948), the Brisker Rav became physically ill. The Chazon Ish tried to make him feel better by invoking the Chazal that a Gezeira raah avida liHiBatla, meaning that a bad decree will at some point be nullified. The Brisker Rav answered him that this is only true when people recognize this bad decree as such. But if they think it is a good thing, then this dictum does not apply.
So, if you care to stop antisemitism (and to make G-d happy), then perhaps you could spread the word in your locale that Zionism is not Judaism (for starters – it’s actually its polar opposite), and that people should be very clear that, even if they support the Zionist paradise politically, they must still fully recognize that the Zionist paradise is shmad and a disaster for Jews (because that is simply the facts on every level – both spiritual and physical) and, most importantly, that it is only a Zionist entity, not a Jewish entity. Then, we will surely merit the nullification of all bad decrees CH”V and the coming of Moshiach BB”A.
Just because we learn Torah, does not mean we LEARNED from the Torah. The amount of HATE towards other Jews, even from people on the blog, is embarrassing.
The amount of HATE towards Eretz Yisroel is embarrassing!No wonder we do not see Hashem and experience anti semitism.
