(AND THE WORLD WOULD BE AN UGLIER PLACE TO LIVE IN)
1. On the background of the words said and written by Dr. Uri
Milstein that there is no proof to the existence of God, and that the
descriptions in the Bible do not correspond with those of the other
peoples, namely that the Torah is not a Divine Order that was descended
to the Chosen People, but a historical story presented out of certain
interests, and the way Jesus and Muhammad thought they were God's
messengers, but they were not, Abraham, Moses and their followers
should be treated in the same way! (Those who called 'Whoever is with
God, come to me!", caused troubles to humanity!) Therefore, Dr.
Milstein believes only in science and its discoveries!
There is only
one reason to make aliyah and that is G-d. There is only one reason
to remain in the US and that is money. For those of you who purport
to be religious but remain in the US, you have changed your religion
from Judaism to the national religion of the US, Mammonism, to wit,
the worship of the almighty dollar. It is not a coincidence that the
dollar bill proclaims “In G-d we trust”. The dollar bill is celebrating
itself, as all Americans celebrate it and it alone.
I used to think
that it didn’t matter why someone made aliyah, so long as he made
it. Sadly, I have learned that I was wrong. In order to explain why,
I must tell you something about myself.

Traditionally the Temple Mount Faithful attempt to set up a foundation
stone for the Third Temple on Tisha Be'av, and the police routinely
prevent them from doing so. The occasion for this street theater is the
anniversary of the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE and that
of the Second Temple in 70 CE, both said to have occurred on the same
calendar date.
It is certainly right that the date be commemorated; but would
rebuilding the Temple be an appropriate act for the State of Israel
today?
On Tisha Be'av our hearts turn to the Temple Mount, the site of the
First and Second Temples, whose destruction we mourn every year.
Therefore, it behooves us to ask: Does Jewish law permit us to go up to
the Temple Mount today? This may seem like an esoteric question, but it
has far-reaching political consequences.
Shortly after the Six Day War in June 1967, the Chief Rabbinate posted
a large sign at the entrance to the Temple Mount stating that,
according to Jewish Law, it is forbidden to enter the Temple Mount.
This prohibition was reiterated by chief rabbis Shlomo Amar and Yona
Metzger in January 2005. As a result, many Jews, especially the
Orthodox, have not entered the Temple Mount area for the past 40 years.
