MANTIKSIZ SAVAS VEYA MANTIKLI AUSCHWITZ -- SHALOM MANTIGI
bs"d
Shalom yine yakaladi.
Mantikli olan ne acaba?
Keske biraz zahmet edip bize haberin kaynagini gosterseler de anlasak acaba haberin kaynagi da bu sekilde bir yorum ile mi baslamis?
Eger haber ise "haber olarak" verilmeli.
Eger yorum ise (savasin mantiksizligi), o zaman da yorum olarak.
Soz konusu filmin traileri: rock the casbah
Birinci Intifada senelerini konu alan film ile "savasin mantiksizligi"nin alakasi nedir?
Dogru veya yanlis Israel bu filmin konusunu ettigi senelerde Gazze seridinde askeri ve sivil olarak bulunmaktaydi. Kendi istemedigimiz bir "mantiksiz savas" sonrasinda (mantik her halde bu durumda Auschwitz'e donmek olacakti) o topraklari ele gecirdik (savas kazanmanin da gunah oldugunu kabullenelim tabii).
Sonunda 2005'te "mantikli olani" yaptik ve Gazze topraklarindan cekildik.
O gunden beri de Israel'in guneyindeki sehir ve yerlesimlere "mantikli" fuzeler yagmaya devam ediyor.
Bu tip basliklar atarak kime yaraniyorsunuz?
Boylesine bir baslikla sizlerin de (ne kadar yelpazenin soluna kaymis olsaniz dahi) mutabik oldugunuzu dusunemiyorum.
O zaman nedir?
Haber ise haber olarak verin.
Yorum ise karsi fikirlere de yer verin.

MUTLAKA OKUNMASI GEREKEN BIR MAKALE
bs"d
Andrew Apostlou'dan:
Adam Reform, Conservative ve Orthodox (Bu terimleri her ne kadar sevmesem de kullanmak zorundayiz), herkese cok guzel firca cekiyor.
Reform orgutunun tum acik verilere ragmen halen karisik evlilikleri yureklendirmesinin sonuclarini , conservative orgutun kafasinin karma karisik olmasinin sonuclari.
"Ikisinin de arkasindan agir bir kalp ile yakinda Kadish soyleyecegiz" diyor Yeshiva University'den Rabbi Norman Lamm.
Ama Orthodox kesimi de fircadan kendini kurtaramiyor.
Her ne kadar tek buyuyen Orthodox kesim, New York, Long Island, Westchester Yahudi sayisinda gorulen %9'luk buyumehe en buyuk etken. Sozu gecen bolgedeki Yahudi cocuklarin 3'te 2'si Orthodox kesimden.
Butun bunlara ragmen Orthodox kesimin buyumesine yardimci olan ve (henuz) Tora ile cok tanismamis kesim ile irtibati saglayan "hozer be't'shuva" grubunun da bu reform ve conservativ kesimden geldigine dikkat cekiyor yazar. Yani ham madde gittikce azalmakta.
Okunmasini hararet ile tavsiye ediyorum:
Denominational Delusions
American Jews are caught in a crisis and their rabbis aren’t helping. Synagogues are closing, congregations are ageing, and the non-Orthodox majority is dwindling. For every 100 non-Orthodox Jews in their 50s, there are just 55 children with the same religious orientation. If the Jewish community does not take action, its numbers will shrink. The era in which Jews played a vital role in American life will end as the entire community becomes demographically diminished and socially insular.
Yet the main Jewish religious movements are not grasping the root of this problem—the failure of Jews to marry other Jews. None is explicitly pursuing strategies to promote marriage within the community. Reform Jews are making matters worse. The Conservatives are confused. The Orthodox are fooling themselves into believing that they are the answer. The decline of their non-Orthodox coreligionists harms them as well.
Reform Judaism, currently the largest denomination, is encouraging demographic failure. The movement accepts intermarriage despite evidence that its occurrence leads to fewer Jews. Most intermarried couples do not raise their offspring as Jews and, not surprisingly, these children themselves marry non-Jews at a rate of 76 percent. The result is that now there are not enough young people in Reform synagogues to keep them going. According to one survey just eight percent of Reform synagogue members are young adults—while 22 percent are over the age of 65.
Reform Judaism continues to welcome intermarriage despite this evidence. Around half of all Reform rabbis conduct marriages between Jews and non-Jews, with increasing numbers of rabbis joining their ranks. Instead of encouraging Gentiles to convert to Judaism to marry Jews, some Reform rabbis question the whole point of conversion. They even perform marriages jointly with non-Jewish clergy, in contravention of the rules of the Reform rabbinic body, the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR).
Reform rabbis now propagate the notion of patrilineal descent without any qualification, which is both false to the text of the CCAR’s 1983 resolution on “The Status of Children of Mixed Marriages” and self-defeating. It is false because the resolution acknowledged as potentially Jewish only the children of Jewish fathers and non-Jewish mothers who were raised within the Jewish fold. It is self-defeating because it weakens the Jewish identity and commitment of Reform youth. Rabbi Eric Yoffie, previous president of the Union for Reform Judaism, said that “if current trends continue, approximately 80 percent of the children who have a bar or bat mitzvah in our congregations will have no connection of any kind to their synagogue by the time they reach 12th grade.”
Meanwhile, the Conservative movement is in even worse demographic shape than the Reform. During the first decade of this century the number of Conservative synagogues fell by six percent, while membership declined by 14 percent. In 2010, only nine percent of adult members of Conservative congregations were under 40—those over the age of 65 outnumbered young adults three-to-one. The Conservative intermarriage rate is 33 percent and rising.
The Conservative movement is confronting its intermarriage problem with resolute confusion. The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the movement’s synagogue organization, mentions intermarriage as an issue in its latest strategic plan, but makes no suggestions for encouraging marriage to other Jews.
At the same time, the Conservative rabbinic corps is drifting toward accommodating the intermarried and discouraging the conversions needed to prevent it. The Rabbinical Assembly’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards voted in 2010 to allow the burial of non-Jewish spouses in a separate section of a Jewish cemetery. The sole opponent on the committee, who lives in Israel, argued that the decision removes any incentive for non-Jews to join the Jewish people: “Why would they bother converting?”
The only source of good news appears to be the growing Orthodox population. The Orthodox intermarriage rate is around six percent. Just as important, the Orthodox have no difficulty reproducing, a task that has befuddled the other denominations. The Jewish population of New York, Westchester, and Long Island rose by nine percent in the decade to 2011 in large part because of the high Orthodox birthrate, according to the 2011 UJA-Federation study. Orthodox children are now close to two-thirds of the Jewish children in the New York metro area.
It appears that Orthodoxy will flourish while the other movements languish or perish. As Rabbi Norman Lamm, the chancellor of Yeshiva University, has said, “With a heavy heart we will soon say kaddish on the Reform and Conservative movements.” Other Orthodox rabbis have openly expressed pleasure and dismay at the waning of the non-Orthodox. Rabbi Yitzchock Adlerstein wrote that the “mixed emotions” stirred by the New York population survey were best communicated by imagining that you are "watching your sworn enemy go over the side of a cliff in your new Lotus.” Adlerstein hinted that result could be increased anti-Semitism, because without the connections that the non-Orthodox have made to non-Jews, Jewish life would become less easy in America “in times of stress.”
The Orthodox assumption that they will replace the non-Orthodox is a delusion. Orthodox Jews constitute less than 15 percent of the American Jewish population. Their high birthrate cannot compensate for the massive losses among the other denominations and the unaffiliated. Also, the substantial reproduction rate among haredi Jews, the so-called ultra-Orthodox, may not continue indefinitely. As they climb the economic ladder, their families are likely to become smaller.
The decline of the non-Orthodox will damage the Orthodox in three ways. First, a substantial part of the growth in Orthodoxy, particularly Modern Orthodoxy, has come from non-Orthodox groups. The baalei teshuva, “repentant” Jews who reject non-Orthodox Judaism, have more than compensated for those leaving Orthodoxy. They also provide a connection to non-Orthodox communities through their extended families. In some cases they are the first observant Jews in their families for generations. This pool of potential recruits would be gone without Reform and Conservative Judaism.
Second, without Reform and Conservative Judaism, American Jews will have fewer choices in the future for their religious practice. The options will be Orthodoxy or other religions.
Third, the non-Orthodox movements, and to a much lesser extent Modern Orthodoxy, connect Jews to American society. The Orthodox often have difficulties in dealing with other Jews, let alone maintaining any meaningful relationship with other religions. Orthodox life can be insular because it is so all-enveloping. America accepts closed communities, like the Amish, but the price of social isolation is a lack of cultural and political influence.
American Orthodox rabbis lead congregations filled with Torah study and bursting with children. After decades of being dismissed as relics or characterized as extremists by the non-Orthodox, the Orthodox are witnessing what looks like the irreversible decline of the religious competition. That feeling of vindication, however, will prove brief when they realize they will also suffer from the demographic self-destruction of today’s non-Orthodox majority.

PAPA COK YORGUNMUS...
bs"d
Bunu takip ettigim bir blog olan Yeranen Yaakov'da gordum:
Duymussunuzdur Katolik dunyasinin lideri Papa 16. Benedict (Benedictus) makamindan istifa etti. Bu son galiba 1514 senesinde vuku bulmus.
Yeranen Yaakov su sekilde yorum yapmis:
Papa istifa nedeni olarak zihinsel ve fiziksel yorgunlugu gostermis.
וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל-יַעֲקֹב, הַלְעִיטֵנִי נָא מִן-הָאָדֹם הָאָדֹם הַזֶּה--כִּי עָיֵף, אָנֹכִי; עַל-כֵּן קָרָא-שְׁמוֹ, אֱדוֹם. (Esav Yaakov'dan kirmizi mercimek corbasini isterken AYEF ANOHI = YORGUNUM diyor)
AYEF ANOHI (yorgunum) kelimelerinin gematriasi BENEDICTUS ile esit = 241.
Ayrica AYEF kelimesinin gematriasi mispar katan sisteminde (ayin = 7, yud = 1, pe = 8) 16. (Benedictus 16)
Yeranen Yaakov ayrica biraz daha derine inip Esavin Yaakov'a bu ufak transaction ile Behora makamini satmasinin uzerinden tam 3650 sene gectigini bunun da 73 Yovel oldugunu soyluyor. (Avraham 1948'de dogdu ve 175 yasinda vefat etti. 1948+175= 2123. Biz bugun 5773 senesindeyiz. Yani 5773-2123 = 3650. 3650 / 50 = 73)
בְּשַׁבְעִין וּתְלָת, כָּל מַלְכֵי עָלְמָא יִתְכַּנְּשׁוּן לְגוֹ קַרְתָּא רַבְּתָא דְּרוֹמִי, וְקֻדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא יִתְעַר עָלַיְהוּ אֶשָּׂא וּבַרְדָּא וְאַבְנֵי אֶלְגָּבִישׁ וְיִתְאַבְּדוּן מֵעָלְמָא
Bunun aciklamasi icin "local Kabalist"inize bas vurun :-)
* benim kendi eklemem de 241 sayisi ayni zamanda ROMI (haser VAV). Ve geleneklerimizde "mashiah yoshev be shaar haromi" diye bir deyim var. (Mashiah Roma'nin kapisinda oturuyor)

SIYONIZM'IN ATALARI --BENZION NETANYAHU -- LEO PINSKER
bs''d
Bu hafta sonu kar firtinasi sayesinde okumaya biraz daha fazla zaman ayirabildim.
Sonunda Basbakan Netanyahu'nun gectigimiz aylarda vefat eden babasi Benzion Netanyahu'nun "The Founding fathers of Zionism" adli kitabini okumaya sira geldi.
Kitap 5 lider uzeine yazilmis.
Leo Pinsker, Theodor Hertzel, Max Nordau, Israel Zangwill ve Zeev Jabotinsky.
Her birinin kisa biyografileri gibi ancak belli ideolojik nuanslarina odaklanmis kitap.
Bugun halen tartismakta oldugumuz konulara 1930'larda da deginilmis.
Vaktim oldukca kisaca ilginc buldugum noktalari getirecegim.
Le'iluy nishmat Benzion Neytanyahu.
Ilk olarak Leo Pinsker'den:
Her ne kadar emansipasyon bayragini tasimis bir evde ve egitim sisteminde yetismis olsa da Pinsker kendi neslinin yanlisini 60 yasina bastiginda kavramisti. 1881 Odessa pogromlari ona emansipasyon hakkinda ne kadar yanildiklarini aci bir sekilde gostermisti.
Hemen ardindan yazip yayinladigi "Auto- emancipation" ile yeni bir uyanis yaratan Pinsker kendi devrinin asimilasyonist ve emansipasyonistleri ile ters dusmustu.
Aynen bugun bizlerin de yasadigimiz ve tanik oldugumuz gibi bir Alman'dan fazla Alman, bir Fransizdan fazla Fransiz ve bir Turk'ten fazla Turk olabilecegine inananlar ile tartismaya girmisti.
Neslinin asimilasyonist liderlerinin " kardeslik gunlerinin geldigi, artik Yahudilerin de tum diger toplumlar tarafindan bir esitlik ve yoldaslik hisleri ile kabul edildikleri" hakkindaki goruslerine Pinsker aslinda bilinc altlarinda cok iyi bildikleri su cevabi veriyordu: "Milletler birbirleri ile ne kadar fikir ayriliginda olsalar dahi, ne kadar degisik amaclari olsa dahi Yahudi nefreti konusunda el birligi icindeler her zaman. Bu konuda hepsi tum fikirdirler."
Buna asimilasyonist liderler "Bati dunyasi ile Rusya arasinda bu konuda fark var" diye karsi durmuslarsa da, Pinsker uygulamada bir fark olabilecegi ancak derin duzeyde ayni antipatinin , nefretin her yerde, her zaman var olduguna olan inancinda israr ediyordu: "Genelin cogunlugunda Yahudi bir uvey cocuk muamelesi goruyor, daha iyimser durumlarda evlat edinilmis bir cocuk konumunda olabilir ama hic bir zaman anavatanin gercek evladi olarak gorulmuyor." Diger milletlerin gozlerinde ne sekilde gorulduklerini onlara acikca soyledi: "aptal ve asagilik".
"[onlarin gozlerinde]Aptalsiniz, cunku insan tabiatindan hic bir zaman uretmeyi basaramadigi bir sey bekliyorsunuz -- insanlik. Asagiliksiniz, cunku kendi degerinizi hesapliyamiyorsunuz ve kendinize sayginiz yok."
Pinsker'in bu sert realisminde Yahudi milliyetciliginin yeni yaklasimi temsil edilmekteydi. Bu sadece Yahudi sorununa degil, genel dunya sorunlarina da yaklasimda bir yeniligi belirtilmekteydi. Oncelikle 18inci yuzyilin ayaklanmalarin savas naralarindan baska hic bir ise yaramayan utopyalarindan vaz gecmek anlamini tasimaktaydi. Kulaga hos gelen "Kardeslik ve esitlik" ilkeleri ic demokrasiler icin, ozellikle de bireylerin ait olduklari milletleri ile olan iliskilerinde bir temel olmus olsalar dahi milletler arasindaki iliskiler acisindan hic bir zaman bir temel olamamislardir. Yahudiler demokratik ilkelerin kendilerine birer vatandas ve birey olarak uygulanmasini talep etmislerse de, ayri bir milli gruba uye olduklarini ve bu prensiplerin bu gruba tatbik edilmedigini kabullenmeyi her zaman red ettiler. Iste Pinsker'in sozunu ettigi "insanligin henuz uretemedigi INSANLIK" buydu. "Insanlik" derken tabii ki insan ruhunun inceligi, sempatisi ve komsunu anlayip gerektiginde yardima kosan ve hergun sahit oldugumuz "insanligi"ndan soz etmiyordu.
Burada sozunu ettigi bugun bizlerin "humanizm" diye tanimladigimiz, tum insan cinsinin bireysel tum hislerin ve milli tum amaclarin ustune koyulmasi fikrinden soz ediyordu. Bunun olusabilmesi icin de binlerce daha sene gecmeli ve bu zaman zarfinda "her yerde evinde olan ve hic bir yerde evinde olmayan bir millet, her yerde yabanci olarak kabullenmeye devam edecek."
Kisacasi hem Turk hem Yahudi, hem Alman hem de Yahudi , hem Rus hem de Yahudi olunabilecegini omrunun ilk 60 senesi boyunca savunmus bir kisinin omrunun son on senesindeki bilgeligini kullanmasini bilelim.
