Christian faith proclaims that one must "render Caesar what is his".
Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
In truth, this is a misnomer.
Caesar is a man. He is not our Creator.
It is essential to realize that all of the wealth and that which is before you is actually the ownership of G-d.
It is not "Caesar's".
So if you want to know the reality of this, the fact is you give Taxes as it serves your Creator to do so.
Do not give to a man because you realize that it is his preference and his perogative.
You give to those who have the rights to the property, but do not give as you feel that it is "his".
This negates that you have a G-d.

I am fair and impartial
This is what I wrote prior to the previous blog entry that I criticize this book by this newly "released" jewish author from the "terrible" jewish community of the orthodox:
This book will be a slow seller as even the antisemites really do not want to know what is what in Judaism. The fact is that probably a lot of lonely people will buy it up and in reality, the facts are that if there is any truth in what she wrote, we must find a way to fix the troubles within our communities. If that is not the case, her book will single itself out as obscure and eventually be considered by the scholars as asinine and uneducated.
So either way, give it this: Hashem has let this book be published and it will be considered a farce if all is untrue. Remember the guy who wrote that memoir on drug abuse on Oprah? That book is a crime today.
Written in reply to me:
Hey Beethoven’s Friend, this “slow seller” of a book is #49 (out of 12 million books) on Amazon, and #2 in Biographies and Memoirs,
2nd Reply:
Think of it this way, if someone is interested in reading a book like this and they continue to have some questions and interests, it will serve the jewish community good in that there will be more people interested in our ways and our lifestyle. Just a thought.
As I mentioned above. so too was that James Frey book a national best seller before it was declared a fraud. The aftermath I believe is that is it not a best seller any longer. And it was involved in lawsuits as well as a disgracement by being dropped by his literary agent.
The jewish community if they may might have a lawsuit agaisn’t the writer of this book perhaps and that is a consideration.
If there is a truthful account, and it is disturbing, we must ask if we are doing things that are being accurately depicted in these pages. I am not one to plan to read her or study to learn what the ‘disease’ is that she suggests, but truly when I see some of the fanaticism in the ultra jewish communities, and see people like the Naturei Karta as well as Beit Shemesh on the news, it is blatently clear that there are infractions of even Jewish Law in some of our “hands off- not a ‘unorthodox’ ” community.
Let us realize that Hashem works in many ways.
In reality there are many books that threaten the jewish way of life.
I would suggest to you that the New Testament is a bigger concern to young jewish souls than one that may suggest that they make it in the general community by ascertaining their own world and community.

One more comment that I wrote on Feb 20 on Vos Iz Neias:
I honestly did not get excited in any shape or form when I heard of this 'book' or book of this woman. I must say that I am not 100% convinced that a chassidic community is for everyone and of course, I would be amiss to say that they are 100% righteous in all of their ways. But of course, I seek neither to read nor to decry foul at this book overall. If there are particularities that are fraudulent, we should hear about them. Overall, its probably a person with much illwill or otherwise some ill experiences who wants to voice her either concerns or greivances and has chosen this manner to do so. Some may be intrigued, some may be sickened, but overall, I suspect this will not be a major seller. Watch out for books by rabbis that call Jesus Kosher. That might be more problematic overall.

The Deborah Feldman Book
I am not interested in this womans experiences nor am I interested in her conversations or her way of life. I am interested in knowing if there were any true crimes in the orthodox community, yet I am not yet certain I will immediately read this book that she called "unorthodox".
I am aware of course that there is a major outcry for justice in the orthodox community.
There is much written on many of the jewish web sites of the orthodox world calling her a woman who has done irreparable harm to the communities. I am yet to think this is so.
I did give the sample a read from my kindle so far and this is what I printed on one of the Jewish web sites:
This book is written by a woman with a small capacity to demonstrate good will and customs for any human interaction. I read the sample of the book from kindle. I was quickly aggravated by her account of her father and the respect she did not show in introducing a very sensitive subject of his mental health. I was also surprised she was so egregiously arrogant to make constant references to her family's prosperity in terms of a very superficial sleazy way of life.
I was again sleazed out when I read her account of the way that the "waiter made eye contact" with her upon singing her happy birthday and felt that this degraded the soul to read such a breif wanton way of regarding human interaction.
Will see if there is more to follow. I suspect I may have a social responsiblity to review this 'best' seller and decide for myself what this woman is interested in acheiving.
I am so far markedly unimpressed with her way of expression and her own noticable poverty for realism and social reality. I am thinking that this book is likely a very poor version of a smut like revision of instead of sexual smut per se, it is anti-orthodox smut.
Either way, I feel very safe as a Jew that this type of work will not compromise my future and my standing as a human being and orthodox Torah Observant Jew.

Jhn 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
This implies that G-d is not organized.
Jhn 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
This implies your star is not as significant as the others.
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." Revelation 1:7
This implies that trust is less than a candlestick.
Mat 5:5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Actually, they inherit the heavens. Not the Planet. But of course, the righteous live to please the Creator.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Quaint but not quite Accurate. G-d is not a Lord who OWNS Venegance. He dishes it out. Its not his. Its his WILL. Give place unto the heavens.

Who you will become
There is a concept that is little discussed called speciation.
Speciation is the evolution of a species to a higher order of species.
I have found that all of my heros are those who are indeed those who confer speciation to others in their lifetimes.
In effect, your presence, your competitiveness, your conversations and your skills result in another person having problems with his or her species if they are not yet the higher order that you particularly are yourself.
In effect, Most all of the heros I have in my lifetime have challenged the human race to resolve its issues with any number of conflicts and any of their compassions for a negative or dismal resulting process.
These speciation souls are remembered throughout history for their positive and benevolent forces.
Elie Weisel,
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Churchill
Patton
John Glenn
And yes, Mr. Obama.
The list is long and getting longer.
So be it as I may, I find that I do in fact have a propensity for causing a number of people in my days "problems".
I took some time to consider this and it is evident that the problems I cause like all of those above are problems in their speciation. And thus, there is a problem for their survival.
These people who have these "problems" lack the survival skills of the future.
And thus, I continue my passion and my art.

Bean Stalking
There is a sin that is popular among the jewish people today.
There is a prevalence of the self righteous today who think that it is righteous to tell another jew that they should and MUST go to Israel in their lifetimes.
This is a heresy and even a sin.
It is the sin of entitlement and the sin of quarrelsome nature.
In reality, a trip to Israel for most of us over seas requires a Air plane flight or maybe a boat trip over seas.
If you are not aware, there are disasters that are minimal today with the help of a G-d who lets us have modern conveniences and innovation, but there is still a risk of death every time you get on a plane or even a boat to traverse the seas.
I personaly do not know if I will myself visit or if it will not be until I am maybe much older.
I would however be considerate and very interested perhaps in being buried in the Holy Land.
That to me might be a greater mitzvah than just simply sight seeing.
I surmise that once you pay your 6000$ or more to go to Israel, you feel entitled to tell everyone else that they must make the same "sacrifice".
I will attest to you that being jewish is more important that one must find Torah and Learning in their lifetime.
Torah learning and investment in my beliefs far outweighs the 2-3 week tour de Israel that all the unlearned seem to think is the holiest of holies.

Tone it down a little bit...
I am confounded by the maxim that some people like to display when someone does something wrong that leads to misfortune.
They like to say "what you sow is what you reap".
I take great annoyance and even some expression of offense to this maxim.
In reality, the world is not build on your own personal agenda and of course, there are "different strokes for different folks".
In accordance, the idea that your own folly is what leads to your self harm is one that characteristically disavows that there is a Creator who will punish crimes and heresy.
In reality, the fact is that saying this expression above, it implies that you yourself have no honor.

The Difference between Torah and the Mandates of the Cataclysm of Power
Torah is very specific.
Torah brings about change and revolution.
This is not the same as the mandates of the non orthodox world in their attempts to fix society and fix problems in their own seemingly great capacity but without Torah.
Torah is a breath that is repeated and repeated over time.
The breath is felt.
The cataclysms of power are basically a hand slapping down upon the masses of humanity.

Diapers for the Monuments
I have to take an issue with a syntax that is used in public discussion and in the realm of those who are mentally in health treatments or otherwise in a situation whereby a physician is their care giver.
Physician prescribe medications.
Medications are not "owned" by the patient. They are the property of the prescribing physician.
You are authorized to use these medications as per a prescription is written.
It is YOUR prescription.
It is not YOUR MEDICATION.
Therefore, I find it highly offensive when there are people in our media and in our culture who attack many of the patients who refuse to take prescription medication by saying that he "didn't take his meds".
This is not only unabridged and unorthodox, but it is very precisely the jargon that disseminates a culture of stigmatization against those who are unfortunate and have health concerns and of course namely that of mental illness.
This should be a consideration to all those in health care and in the media and elsewhere where we are involved with the future in terms of deciding how do describe and discuss untoward outcomes in terms of human conditions.
There is noone on "his meds or her meds".
There are only people on prescription medications.

Understanding where you are going
To know where you are going, you must know from where you came.
I happen to have in the past few years started a small collection of simple toys in some senses. I have them in my own home and I keep them where I can see them from time to time.
Why is this?
Christianity teaches us to "get rid of that which was from your childhood"
1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things
This I assert is insolent ignorance and only a fools way of life.
To not realize that childhood is your first way of walking in life is to ascribe that you are only a man because you "finally" realized the ways of the "world" that you want to inhabit as you were "older".
Are children not perceptive?
Are children not intelligent and strong too?
Children are who we really are inside all of us.
We are all children and thus, to think that you must "put away childish things" is to really put your own mind and being into the closet and never take them out again.
This is the way of the doctrines and the world that wants to deceive and protect you from being intelligently designed as a human being.

The war against Miracles
There really is a war against Miracles.
This is found in the scriptures of the christian bible.
Have you ever heard the church talk about "powers and principalities?"?
I did a goodle on Principalities in the christian bible. There are 7 verses I found.
I will attest that principalities is really just another way of saying "Humanity".
The simple fact is that the goal of the Pauline biblical movement is not to drive you further together as a people as a human kind but rather to divide you in many ways.
Look at even the church and its catastrophically spectacular array of even ongoing growing divisions.
Are there not dozens if not more then fifty or more ways of the church to be practiced?
Either way, there are no "principalities" described in the Jewish Scriptures and Torah.
Where do you see this word in the jewish bible?
Even the above reference to "Jeremiah" is inaccurate.
The true Jewish version of Tanakh writes and reads:
Jeremiah 13:18 Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'
(Stone Tanakh says "humble yourselves, sit, for your dominions have collapsed, the crown of your glory").
Thus there is no principalities in the Jewish bible.
I will attest that this is a war against Miracles.
The christian bible says:
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The Dictionary actually defines principalities as an "order of angels".
Words are very powerful.
This is found in the scriptures of the christian bible.
Have you ever heard the church talk about "powers and principalities?"?
I did a goodle on Principalities in the christian bible. There are 7 verses I found.
- Jeremiah 13:18 (Whole Chapter)
Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. - Romans 8:38 (Whole Chapter)
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, - Ephesians 3:10 (Whole Chapter)
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, - Ephesians 6:12 (Whole Chapter)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Colossians 1:16 (Whole Chapter)
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: - Colossians 2:15 (Whole Chapter)
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. - Titus 3:1 (Whole Chapter)
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
I will attest that principalities is really just another way of saying "Humanity".

Why the book of Job Applies to All men
What does the book of Job say about our Creator?
Here we have a rich man who is doing well who is suddenly stricken from his experiences, laid into a horrible and undesirable situation for a long period of time and then eventually, because he maintains his faith, he is rewarded twice fold and higher for who he was and what he had acheived in life.
What does this say?
I say this.
All men have the situation of Job.
What we have when we are rich in the beginning is our hopes.
Our hopes for the future and the world are in every childs heart.
Then life takes us for a series of turns and other and thus we see our hopes are not the future that we had expected.
In reality, there is a counterbalance to this dismal feeling of future that we all seem to find our concerns to revolve around at some time in our lifetimes. This is the deficit given to Job.
The fact is that our future is ultimately in G-ds hands and of course, if you were born, you were born to serve a purpose for G-d in every way.
So be careful what you say about the Creator and his plan and all that as you go through your life. Ultimately, in faith, you will prosper.

Sticking it in Hitler's face by making sure you are not much different.
Well, well, the ChaBaD has it again. In this stunning photo which I found on "failedmessiah".com, I was astonished to see the maxim of a jew being exactly identical to the maxim of the nazi party.
Am I just stupid or is this a major conjecture that must be abolished and disregarded.
Apparantly this "rebbe" is so powerful that we must swear allegiance to him...

No Anarchist jewish life for me. No thanks.

Erasing My Happy Memory
For over 30 years, I have lived or have my family with my self lived on Misty Lane.
I always liked my streets name. It was generous, it was friendly, it was happy and it really did not conjure up any sense of anything other than the mist on a lane in the world we enjoy.
Well, All this changed recently when I had a conversation with a leading Reform Rabbi.
I told him my address for he might be able to send me a copy of a book on his beliefs of Jewish life and the mental health system. Hopefully its a positive contribution...
But of course, the rabbi told me: "Misty Lane? Sounds like a stripper".
So today, I have a new echo in my world that has to remind me of all the filth in my world and the future when I think of this greatly happy friendly generously named avenue of existence where I will continue to exist and always called my home.
Thanks Reform Guys!

More Heresy
I am reading an article today that mentions a verse from Ephesians.
Ephesians 4:26 Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
Let me explain this one. I am reading an article which denotes that some think that you should never go to bed angry and equates it with this christian bible verse.
Wouldn't it be great if our life was sorted out prior to our slumber each day?
This is heresy.
To say it politely, the sun is not your problem.
The problem is the light of your life.
Light is extremely important and whether you are a jew or gentile, there is light.
In the beginning, Hashem created Light.
This is not exactly the sunlight, but it is the light of human significance.
So if you want to make sure that the future is less than your interest, do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
But if you want to make certain that you have a good life ahead of you, let your anger sort itself out on its own.

Drop in your own ash tray of life
Baruch Spinoza appeals to me today. I am going to begin reading more and more of his writings.
I must say that being that I was excommunicated from a Jewish community, he and I have something in common.
Baruch Spinoza was one of the most intellectual men who have ever walked this planet ever.
Funny how the very man who was excommunicated from the lively and Righteous ("?") Jewish life and culture was the man who the universities study in philosophy class from that day until the indefinate future of course. I am quite sure that his works will never cease to be read by scholars and scholarship.
Was he really a bad guy? Apparantly he is still dancing in the streets while those who hated him and watned to deprive him of community and happy friendships are all gone and not thought of individually at any length by really anyone today.
So who wins here?
Spinoza was the future.
Spinoza is the guy that some jerk like me even might read some day late at night when I am looking to be a more interesting human being at some level.
So guess what, I must say that if you want to excommunicate a man from your world, expect a reciprocation. The world will be his and you will fall off your steak knife into your salad and noone will care who you were in a lifetime after your children leave the world.
Think about that.
