  "Mass graves" at Gaza hospitals - Alleged-crime, or accumulated casualties?
Posted by: Robert - 04-24-2024, 06:09 PM - Forum: Israel - Replies (6)

Quote:Heading: "More than 300 bodies found in mass grave at Gaza [Nasser] hospital, says Gaza Civil Defense": 
April 23, 2024.

Source:
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/22/middl...index.html


However, there is more to this story than at first meets the eye, particularly when one recalls news reports about Gaza hospitals dating from November 2023: 

Quote:Heading: "Al-Shifa: WHO says Gaza hospital unable to bury dead bodies": 
November 14, 2023.

"Around the hospital [here Al-Shifa] there are dead bodies which cannot be taken care of or not even be buried or taken away to any sort of morgue," he [Christian Lindmeier, a spokesman for the WHO] said. "The hospital is not working at all any more as it should. It's nearly a cemetery."

Source: 
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67410093

Quote:Heading: "WHO plans more evacuations from Gaza [Nasser] hospital as bodies buried on grounds":
Updated February 23, 2024.

Source:
https://news.yahoo.com/plans-more-evacua...27903.html

Quote:November 14, 2023.
"[...] Bodies are being buried in a mass grave at Gaza City’s largest hospital [Al-Shifa], health officials say. [...]"
[Note: On the webpage the latter sentence is a link - Click the sentence on the web page to see more detail on the same webpage (as follows):]

"Workers at Al-Shifa, the biggest hospital in Gaza City, buried dozens of bodies in a mass grave on its complex on Tuesday because they had started to decompose and posed a health hazard, according to medical authorities in Gaza, signaling the increasingly dire conditions at the facility amid Israel’s military campaign to eradicate Hamas." 

Source:
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/11/14/...a-war-news


Thus it would appear that these "mass graves" may be comprised rather of accumulated-casualties, rather than be any alleged "war crime".

The news about alleged Gaza hospital "mass graves" does however also coincide with student protests at U.S. universities in support of Hamas, where the students are alleging, as usual devoid of any evidence, Israeli "genocide" in Gaza.

  Why is the 10th plague different from the others?
Posted by: searchinmyroots - 04-21-2024, 01:10 AM - Forum: Judaism General - Replies (4)

Just learned the Hebrew word used for plague in the 10th plague is not the same as the Hebrew word used for plague for the other 9.

And to make things even more interesting, that same Hebrew word used for the 10th plague only appears one other time in the 5 Books of Moses. In Leviticus 13.

Hmmm, what is the connection?

Rabbi Fohrman has an idea that connects the dots!

  Why is Kaddish not in Hebrew?

When listening to someone say it it seemed off and someone explained it isn't in hebrew but aramaic(spelling?, not arabic) is this a preference of the group that created the Siddur we were using or for some other reason?

  Prophecies
Posted by: searchinmyroots - 04-16-2024, 12:36 PM - Forum: Judaism General - Replies (4)

Interesting article about biblical prophecies.

What I think is more important and of great value, is the last paragraph of the article -

" Bottom line, I tell people not to worry about prophecies too much. They’re an interesting diversion, but they’re really only visible through the rearview mirror. Most prophecies are rather obscure, and people are too quick to apply them to things in the news. We should concern ourselves less with the prophecies in the Torah and occupy ourselves more with the mitzvos. If we do what we’re supposed to do, God will ensure that history plays out the way it’s supposed to."

Been interested in Judaism for a long time, planning to convert eventually. I've been keeping Kosher since 2018 but didn't really do it seriously until 2020.

In 2004 or so my father who was a Christian minister in the United Methodist Church started doing a seder. He had previously travelled to Israel and had been constantly incorporating more and more Jewish teachings in his ministry some of which was met with resistance from his congregation.... He used a prayer shaw, was in JfJ, had friends with Messianics but they were a bit dodgy in my opinion.

Back to me having such a lengthy experience in religion and after doing a lot of studying of religious texts I came to the conclusion that Judaism was for me. Wanting to be a Jew by choice I started following the laws. I keep Kosher, take the sabbath off and holy days when I remember to check. I was told by my friends to not get the wrong conversion however I wonder if it matters if I'm not planning on moving to Israel?

Right now I'm gearing up for Pesach but no Seder tray this year from the looks of it. I know some Soviet Jews had it bad doing passover and I have it relatively easy but some things just don't seem to be for sale in West Virginia and I have to shop over in Marietta or Amazon to get a bulk of my supplies outside of fresh water, eggs, vegetables, fruit, salt, etc.

On 4/5/2024 I am writing  to the Rabbi of the Rabbonim of the Bais Hora'ah the following query:
Are the following events regarded in the Land of Israel by Torah Jews as forerunners to the comming of the Anointed one and the 3d Temple?
1) The 2004 revival of the Sanhedrin assembly?
2) The recent finding and bringing to Israel of 5 pure red Heifers
3) The Temple Institute to prepare the People of Israel for the arrival of the 3d Temple?

On 4/14/2024  I am writing  to the Rabbi of the Rabbonim of the Bais Hora'ah the following query:
Do devout Torah Jews beleive the following is forerunners of the coming of the Anointed one and the appearence of the 3rd Temple?
1) The 2004 revival of the Sanhedrin assembly?
2) Ingathering of Jews communities up to Israel from the galat of Europe; Arab Countries et al?
3) The Formation of the 3rd temple Institute to prepare Jews for the coming of the 3d temple/ANointed one?
4)The appearence of 5 red Hefiers in Israel for Temple scarafice?
5) The realization that of Galat Jews that Israel is the only real and safe home since the current War of Israel-Hamas  exposing the fact that Hamas has many spirtual supporters who do not want Jews to live anywhere on this earth-despite the covement made between the L-D and Abraham?
6) the realization of Secular Jews in Israel that the only way their children can live to be Jews..is to live the Torah. Talmund Oral Law in their Lives?

Sincerely

T.F

Hi,

I believe that only no. 6 is similar to the belief that since the 60's when many Jews without any Jewish education began to return to Judaism, also known as the Teshuvah movement, that is a harbinger of the coming of the Messiah when it says at the end of Malachi
"I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord, that he may turn the heart of the fathers back through the children, and the heart of the children back through the fathers"

Please don't hesitate to write back if you have any questions

Best wishes,
