A light unto nations. In the spirit of the recent Dennis Prager posts on the Ten Commandments, an audio class on Jewish impact on the World. A fascinating anthropological-like contrasting of world history against Jewish History. It's long-ish but highly informative on how the good old (ancient) days weren't so good without the Ten Commandments. Hate the civil society? Blame the Joooooooooossssss!
Interesting... (though particularly over-focused on ‘modern’ Jewish [scientific, civic] history) but not the thrust of the post. Point taken. Let me reword the title:
G-d’s Torah’s Impact on a Savage World.
Both the OT and Our Savior!
The Jews brought redemption to a corrupt world through JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS A JEW!
Israel is the nation God gave to the JEWS forever, not to the Palestinians, who are descendants of ISHMAEL born of Hagar, the son of sin to Abraham.
ISACC was the child of promise to Sarah and Abraham. The Father of the Twelve Tribes of Israel through his descendants. THE JEWS ARE GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE AND ALL CHRISTIANS ARE JEWISH BY ADOPTION ‘WHEREBY WE CRY ABBA FATHER’ noted in the New Testament as GRAFTED IN’ to the Vine of his chosen people.
So if you claim to be Christian then you may want to rethink that question. If not, well, I feel sorry for you.
My son started singing spontaneously as I was reading your post:
Amongst majestic mountains, a nation stands alone
An ending to their exile, the promise of a home
Pondering their destiny, gazing at the setting sun
Moshe stands alone, Bnei Yisroels’ Ro’eh Ne’eman.
He sees Eretz Yisroel, a splendid golden view
Listening intensely to Ha’Kadosh Baruch Hu
My dear servant, Moshe, for you to enter this great land
The Dor Hamidbar from redemption forever will be banned.
Hashem, please take my life from me
My people they must live to see
The coming of Moshiach and the Mikdosh HaShlishi.
Please pass them down through the Doros
And give a Nossi my Koichos
To lead them towards Geulah in Nifla’os HaGeulah.
Standing at the Ohel so faithful and so strong
Pleading for a nation that has waited much to long
Filling them with courage, caring for them day by day
The Rebbe, our Moshe stands and proudly leads the way.
Benei Yisroel, hear our cry
Thundering voices Ad Mosai
And join a million forces as we’re marching side by side
The Rebbe lighting up the way
The Geulah we will have today
The promise of redemption in Nifla’os HaGeulah.
I had always understood that modern finance was an invention of Italian Catholics in the 14th century.
But the moral foundation that is the basis for honest dealings is, of course, Biblical.
Marx borrowed most of his ideas from Frenchmen like Fourier and even a Scot like Robert Owen, neither of whom was Jewish (and neither was Marx, in any educational or cultural sense).
Communism embodies a parent - child relationship. Capitalism in contrast assumes a relaltionship of equals with voluntary association.
Jewish song of praise?
A children’s song. The ‘geula’ is the Redemption.
Two individuals did, not the whole Jewish people.
Karl's father came from a rabbinical line. Although he converted to Lutheranism for business reasons, he remained secular.
Karl's mother, Henrietta Pressburg, was Jewish and did NOT convert, so Israel's "Law of Return" would have considered Karl to be Jewish, despite Karl being secular.
His mother’s conversion would be irrelevant. Her children are Jewish if she is, born or converted, even if she became a Christian (again).
It doesn’t matter since he was, ethnically. That’s all that matters to the anti-Semites of Europe. Don’t think for a moment that was not a factor in the clash between Reds and National Socialists in the 30s.
Yes, but you mean “racially” I think.
Marx wrote a LOT, including lots of private letters. I’ve never seen any evidence of ethnic Jewish self-awareness on his part, except as would have been taught in his Lutheran upbringing.
No, I meant ethnically, since I was speaking specifically to ancestry and not genetics.
Thanks for balancing that out.
