Black Mirror: How Jews Should React to the New Rise of Antisemitism

[@margo_noahide]

Yes Rabbi, I stand with all the Jews and Israel. You are not alone. May HaShem protect his children and help us to keep bringing light into this world.

[@johnchapman556]

Definitely words of wisdom I appreciate as a Christian. And non Jew. Thank you

[@arielpresser381]

I converted over 20 years ago and am Jewish. When I see people who were born Jewish who have pushed away who they are breaks my heart. My heart is with Israel and the IDF.

[@yamiscape]

G-d bless you

[@bglynch3176]

my head is spinning! So horrified by what had happened Oct 7 that turned into hostility toward Jews is beyond understanding! Seeing it in what I thought was once civilized countries makes it even more so!

[@JoshuaFinancialPL]

we all knew it would happen. on october 8 we were overwhelmed with support and literally at the same time said to each other "it will be 2 weeks, maximum, then it will turn." That is the modern Jewish experience.

[@sarapuchinsky4024]

I bought a Chai hebreu letter necklace and wear it every day around my neck. In honor of my late brother who converted to Judaism and in honor of Israel and all the Jews in the world.

As a christian woman, I know that Israel in the future will have to return to HaShem. Too many are factual non-believers and rely on foreign nations, their own knowledge and capabilities or diplomacy. Only ahaShem can save his chosen people. Praying for Israel and the Jewish people to reconnect with Thora. I have started studying the old testament myself since 2015. Is is really so full of wisdom. ✝️❤️🇮🇱

My dilemma-grew up in an orthodox Jewish home (father died when I was 7 years old), decided to go to an orthodox Jewish secondary school (grades 10-12), followed the Hindu faith for several years, became a messianic christian for about 8 years ( had many heated debates with different Rabbis, started following Buddhism but the ritual component put me off, as a scientific type thinker I read all Sam Harris’s books that made a lot of sense to me-I now define myself as a Jewish atheist who tries to maintain the values associated with the Torahs teaching-based on my 70 years on this planet I am convinced that following a formal religion will never work for me. I have lived, travelled and worked in the Middle East for 5.5 years-2007-2012 (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Oman, Israel) and the company I worked for in Qatar had 94 different nationalities. Since 7 Oct 2023 I have felt more Jewish than ever in my life, despite defining myself as a Jewish atheist-is that my phase 2; i.e. sense with fullness/faith in the creator of the universe-that you are referring to?

I and millions and millions and millions of Americans stand with lsreal and the IDF. They stand on their own two feet.

[@LocoGeorge123]

An enormous part of the American jewish population are against what Israel is doing. To support mass murder of children is the worst evil imaginable.

[@franceslock1662]

It has never gone away. Those who thought it was gone were kidding themselves. If you talked about the Shoah before October 7 some Jews would deride you and tell you to stop going on about that. We can dig our heels in, fortify and strengthen ourselves, unite, and prepare for whatever Hashem has for us. This is not superficial. We are challenged to push ourselves to grow, develop and break through to a new experience of ourselves, our learning, our role, our guidance, and our connection with the Universal Consciousness Hashem. There is so much more for us and our spirituality.

[@hanarosenthal2349]

This class is doing exactly what you suggest...at least in part by opening the subject in greater depth

[@loristeiner265]

if we are honest with ourselves, we will realize that idol worship has not been fully eliminated---not by a long shot: Instead of Hashem, His Torah, and the land of Israel, we worship other things simply by giving undue credit and our attention to these things, and by so doing, this is , indeed IDOL WORSHIP: things like; our own mental acumen, technology, doctors, lawyers, finances, politicians, vaccines, medicine, sports figures, Hollywood celebrities, hobbies, specialists in every area, and the list goes on and on ---instead of searching to get to know the Cause of all causes and follow His every word, as expressed in the gift He gave us---His holy Torah.

[@alisonbeek7766]

Thank you it makes a lot of sense.

[@NeshamaNation]

Right on. The only part Im not sure about is the black and white that you said that secularists are those who focus on the future. I feel it's the traditionalists who are poised to shape a better future, because they have a deeper and broader wisdom springing from the ground of reality. If only the two camps would appreciate each other, as you said, it takes humility.

[@franceslock1662]

I’m so glad you talk about the Zohar.

[@sshwiff]

Thanks!

[@RabbiNirMenussi]

Wow, thank you so much, Stuart!! 🙏😍

[@hanarosenthal2349]

Excellent ! Something needed to be elaborated upon: which is the self -hatred that bigotery/ racism( here antisemitism) engenders... So we can explain and understand and perhaps address all those Jews who unfortunately display this baffeling behavior !!! ( I remember having having studied that in my sociology class on Minorities a long time ago...but who knows how the text books have been modified since then!?!?!)

[@privateprivate4315]

Rabbi Kahane (Z”L) showed us the way a long time ago.

[@yperkin1016]

Exactly. It is through opening one's eyes ( "for those who see" ) that the prophesies of our People's Prophets are True and coming Zrue in our Times too. This is a thing of Awe and it is for us to defend Our prople in these times. David our King (o"h) wrote that for the sake of his BITACHONE (Trust in G-d) , G-d saved him....again and again. And it was King David who gave Hoda'ah ( clear Thanks ) To Almighty G-d for " showing him the faces of his Enemies!" 2 MitzvahsRemember Amalek (ya"sh' 29:07 uu

[@yperkin1016]

Remember & Not forget! To Eradicate Amalek....This is in affect Generation to Generation. King David (o"h) fought Wars of Revenge and Defined how to do so! We Must grasp and embrace and strengthen the Unity of our People....in this Time designated by the Almighty Himself....He and not just by the acts of Human nor Angel ! Upon each Generation ... Even as Kurush (CyrusTheGreat) sent Ezra&Nechemia(a"h),Even as BarKochba began ;Too is the Mitzvah of Rebuilding the Holy Temple , a place of G-d's Presence for Our People and All Mankind's rise in the Spiritual Plane! May HaShem guide our steps and May the 3rd Temple be continued to be Rebuilt speedily and in our Days , (omen).

[@CharlesFlato-wn2qf]

I was born in 1945 about six weeks before V.E. People have become sooo very very naive about war because they have no example of War. General of the Army D. MacArthur espoused that War should be fought to be won no matter what it takes. Perhaps the people of today are unare of the two Atomic Bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 . "War is War".

Rabbi, what should college students do to get action from diversity universities? The ivy league universities are allowing the hate and attacks on Jewish students and teachers.

[@radidani1]

I loved your presentation! I feel closer to understand the root of jew hatred coming from ordinary people, mainly in the west. However l'd love you to answer a couple of problematic points that your content "activated" in me: How do you explain muslim jew hatred with the same analogy? I dont see their void in their context? How do you explain jewish void in for example the roman times? They were definetely not secular and lost in thwir faith? And finally, dealing with antisemitism. My most problematic point is, how do I ensure the safety of my family and myself from the threat this massive antisemitic supertide poses? Thank you for your message anyways, I'd love to hear your opinion of the points mentioned above.

[@ARIGROSSMAN]

Keter, created a creature to dwell in the physical world filling him with unbounded delight But there is a catch,,He must and will find the straightest path to God, to achieve and locate his Israel through his will to bestow. Why this is so hard to figure out for most? Egoism. or the desire to fufill his own desires.

[@plonialmoni0110]

Antisemitism can be from not extracting the value of other Jews that have different perspectives (as you said in so many words). However, what if it’s bigger than that? What if antisemitism is growing because there’s not enough religious Jews bringing Torah into the world; teaching not only to Jews but to the nations. People fear what they do not understand. Teach Torah to the nations instead of explaining away reasons to put an end to antisemitism. How else are the nations to keep the Feast of Booths? Zec 14:19 This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. Talmud, Sanhedrin 59a An objection: Rabbi Meir would say: From where is it derived that even an idolater who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest? It is derived from that which is stated: “You shall therefore keep My statutes and My ordinances, which if a man does he shall live by them.” (Leviticus 18:5). It does not say priests, Levites, and Israelites shall live by them, but rather “a man,” which indicates all of mankind. You have therefore learned that even an idolater who engages in Torah study is considered like a High Priest!

Apologies for my rant a while ago. The amount of hate I see has made me angry and clouded my thinking.

Yes of course. So the teachers were incompetent also in a way. It's egoism but that exists with everything, including some Jews. Some egoism as well as the teaching of atruism desire.

I am perplexed, doesn't the words "antisemitism" includes the Arabs also? Isn't it properly, according to the truth of history, hatred of the Yehudim. For myself, this brings clarity to this issue.

[@RabbiNirMenussi]

Yes, the correct term should be "sin'at Yisrael", hatred of Israel, i.e. Jews or the Jewish nation. The term "antisemite" was invented by German thinkers who influenced the Nazis, in an attempt to veil both its hateful element ("I don't hate, I'm just 'anti'"), and the fact that it's specifically directed towards Jews ("I'm not against Jews but against 'semitic' races/culture in general").

Here's a thought. Stop conflating Judaism with Zionism. There is nothing antisemitic about opposing the apartheid state of Israel. Prior to 1948, most orthodox Jews were opposed to the formation of the state, including the chief Rabbi of Palestine at the time.

[@MrInfinite43]

​@@MrInfinite43So there isn't a separate law for jews and non jews in Israel? Everyone, including Israel themselves, have lied about this? Or are YOU lying?

There is no a separate law for non-Jews. Arabs are represented in Knesset. There are thousands and thousand of Arabs working in all branches of the Israeli society.

[@thenzlander7605]

The Rabbi should present his audience with the evidence for his claim that there is a rising plague of antisemitism in the world. The criticism of Israel over the slaughter taking place in Gaza is just what you would expect from any person with a moral conscience.

[@sofiayudelzon4830]

Yes, you use a new word, antizionism, permiting yourself to be antishemy🤓

[@Geej9519]

Why the criticizers do not criticize what Gazan did on Oct 7th if the slaughter of people is the concern ? Hateful hearts just like yours are hiding behind excuses unfortunately but your motives are clear as day to those of us who go out to see reality with our own eyes … ( I am not a Jew but raised a Muslim before you jump on this comment btw )

[@mayaha200]

this Gaza thing is just an excuse to hate Jews cause you don't hate any other country for what they doing to people in their country. so in a way it is antisemitism. you don't blame anyone else for being in others land. you only blame the Jews people that by the way left Gaza and not there anymore at all. you still blame them for what happen in a place they left in 2005, which again is only an excuse for antisemitism. think hard what is the void inside you that you feel the need to hate so much and blame so much without checking the facts. what is missing in your life that block you from seeing the bigger picture?

So I need Lubavitcher rebbe to give me some strange answer regarding future “tevach”.

Very sad that Prushim/Rabbis taken away the True Word from God, Tanakh from Am Israel and substituted it with dead Torah she b’alpey (Oral Torah) a fake teaching.

[@j.artiste8596]

Palestinians are semitic people too. Actually, most Israelis are Ashkenazi, not semitic. So them claiming antisemitism, while attacking actual semitic people is infuriating. Stand by your semitic, Palestinian brothets and sisters. Support peace, not slaughter of civilians.

[@somersetdc]

InActually, more Israelis (approximately 50 percent are Mizrahi) and claim their origins from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,Iran, etc. Even Ashkenazi Jews are approximately 50 Middle Eastern with various European admixtures. Let's also not forget the Ethiopian Jews and the Sephardic Jews. Your simplistic statement is not true. Jews come in all colors and that is particularly true in Israel today
