      [continued from previous message]              a great honor to shield Jews from whatever is going to happen, and you       should absolutely 100% do that.              Remember that Moshe Rabbeinu was so great, and I often think that if       there is a "summary of the Torah" (which the Rabbis like to babble       about, principles they call it), then it's nothing like what they are       talking about (because you cannot and should not summarize arbitrarily       the laws in the Torah, and if you need a shortened version then why       don't you just take the 10 words "commandments"), but rather the act       where Moshe Rabbeinu saved those two Jews who where attacked by those       Egyptian enforcers, by killing them. This send Moshe Rabbeinu from a       place at the court no less, to being a refugee. This act of self       sacrifice, justice & courage, if anything might be the summary of the       Torah.              So this whole babble talk by Hillel "Do not do to your neighbor that       which is hateful to you, rest is commentary", that would be untrue in       this view. To throw your entire life away, take the ultimate risk to       free people who are abused against overwhelming odds (two against one is       already overwhelming odds), that is a whole other level than just not       doing to your neighbor that which is hateful to you. Some casual person       who never does much, that is already the entire Torah, huh Hillel ? Are       you speaking about yourself maybe, are you creating a model you could       fit ? No no, not so Moshe Rabbeinu. That was a whole other story. So       much more courageous, risky, and out for Justice at total disregard to       himself. THAT IS THE TORAH.              Risk your life, everything you are, for Justice sake, for the abused.       This is what you would be doing, if you shielded a Jew in your house,       when the evil ones are out looking to kill them. If you went as far as       to kill a search party looking for these hidden Jews, throwing your       entire life away: this may be the essence of the Torah. True courage,       complete self sacrifice, an all overwhelming need for Justice, the rage       of true Justice so to say.              May we all be like this. Humanity should live forever. Instead, we have       the mess we have, but perhaps not for long anymore ...              Yeah this Hillel. He certainly was no Moshe Rabbeinu, was he. This       Rambam, also nothing like Moshe Rabbeinu. Stop with your insults and       your lies Israel. Rambam is not like Moshe Rabbeinu, not in deed and not       with his phony laws which cause your exile.              --       Economic & political ideology, worked out into Constitutional models,       with a multi-facetted implementation plan. http://market.socialism.nl              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
