Nazareth’s dwindling Christian populace torn between moving out, fighting back

This month’s local elections underline the bleak and bitter rivalries in the city of Jesus’s childhood

October 11, 2013, 8:27 pm 4-The Times of Israel

“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” wondered Nathaneal, a disciple of Jesus, in the Gospel of John. Asked today, that question would have many of the city’s residents hard-pressed for an answer.The upcoming municipal elections, scheduled for October 22, find the largest Arab city in Israel impoverished and depressed. A nationwide study, conducted by the Ministry of Public Security in August, revealed that Nazareth residents are the most likely Israelis to fear falling victim to crime. They also reported the lowest sense of personal security, along with the inhabitants of the crime-ridden cities of Ramle and Lod.“Things have deteriorated in this city,” said an elderly woman walking down Nazareth’s main street on Thursday, wearing a necklace with a large golden Cross. “No citizen gets any help — not from the municipality, nor from the government, nor from the police.”Like its Christian twin. Bethlehem, in the West Bank, Nazareth’s demographic makeup has dramatically changed over the past six decades, a fact some residents tie to the deteriorating sense of security and general “low quality of life.” From being a city with a large Christian majority before 1948, today 70 percent of Nazareth’s 80,000 residents are Muslim. The change dates back to Israel’s War of Independence, when an influx of internally displaced villagers from the surrounding area relocated to Nazareth. Researchers also point to a significantly higher Muslim birth rate.Religious tension in the city came to the fore in the early 2000s, when the local Muslims began constructing a new mosque near the Basilica of the Annunciation, the city’s towering Christian landmark. In early 2002, the government decided to halt construction on the site, built over the grave of Salladin’s nephew Shihab a-Din, following massive pressure from the Vatican. The Muslims were infuriated by the move, but put up little resistance when an illegal structure they had built on the site was bulldozed the following year.Ramez Jaraisy, the city’s Communist Christian mayor nearing 20 years in office, downplayed confessionalism as a significant factor in Nazareth. Tawfik Zayyad, his predecessor in office who was killed in a 1994 car crash, was a Muslim, he remarked. Over the past century, Christian and Muslim mayors governed the city, paying little attention to the religious affiliation of their constituents.

“I was elected four times in direct elections by both Muslims and Christians,” said Jaraisy. “Some people use religion to achieve political goals. We have no religious dispute outside small fundamentalist groups of Muslims and Christians. They are a very small minority.”One member of that “very small minority” is Nazareth resident Bishara Shlayan, a retired captain in the Israeli merchant navy, who is in the process of forming a political party for Christian Arabs living in Israel. The party, Shlayan said, is geared at confronting what he regards as the gradual encroachment of the city’s Muslim majority on Nazareth’s historic Christian symbols.“Mary’s Well used to have a big blue sign explaining its history. They removed the sign in order to erase any trace of Christianity, naming it ‘the Nazareth Stream.’ Even the city bus announces the stop as ‘Nazareth Stream.’ Why? Others may ignore this, but I consider it very significant.”Shlayan said that solving the problem of Christian emigration from the city required more than merely electing a Christian mayor. Change, he reasoned, must come from the Knesset, before “all the city’s Christians leave because of the gangs demanding protection money.”Jaraisy said Shlayan is a “collaborator” with the Israeli authorities, striving to create needless tension between Christians and Muslims in the city.“He will fail,” the mayor asserted.But Shlayan was not the only Christian in town speaking his mind. Waiting for his son to exit a church high school downtown, Ibrahim said he left Nazareth 14 years ago for the nearby Jewish city of Upper Nazareth — and has never looked back.“If you gave me all of Nazareth for free, I wouldn’t come back,” Ibrahim said, adding that he recently sold his 10-apartment building in the Muslim neighborhood of Jabel Hammoudeh. “We faced problems of racism there. Almost every apartment in the building has an illegal weapon.“Religion plays a big role in Nazareth. When the Christians were a majority, there was no problem… Our mentality is more European and our religion says ‘Love each other.’ ”Ibrahim said his new Jewish neighbors in Upper Nazareth are very friendly, as long as he doesn’t discuss politics with them.

Hanin Zoabi, the controversial member of Knesset from the Arab nationalist party Balad, joined Nazareth’s mayoral race in late August. Zoabi, a secular Muslim — who sailed on the Mavi Marmara to Gaza in 2010, castigated the IDF over its interception of the vessel, and was only allowed to run for the Knesset in January after court intervention — acknowledged that Christians are leaving Nazareth in greater numbers than Muslims, but said that this is due to the Christians’ generally higher socioeconomic level.“Muslims want to leave Nazareth just as badly as Christians do,” she said. “Christians aren’t moving to Upper Nazareth because they are more welcome there than Muslims… For the state of Israel, if you’re not a Jew you’re either a foreigner or a threat.”By forming a new Christian party, Zoabi added, Shlayan was “selling his honor and his nation.”But the Christian navy captain seemed unscathed by that critique. While waiting for the paperwork for his new party, he recently appealed to Tourism Minister Uzi Landau to place the largest statue of Jesus in the world on the city’s Mount Precipice, from which — according to Christian tradition — the heathen residents of Nazareth tried to push their savior to his death, and failed.

Francis: “It's a contradiction for a Christian to be anti-Semitic”

A Jewish delegation visits Francis on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jews. Chief Rabbi Di Segni praises the Lampedusa recovery efforts

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city “It’s a contradiction that a Christian is anti-Semitic: His roots are Jewish,” said the Pope. “A Christian cannot be anti-Semitic! Let Anti-Semitism be banished from the heart and life of every man and every woman!” Pope Francis said this to members of Rome’s Jewish community, whom he met today, to mark the 70th anniversary of the deportation of the city’s Jewish population during the Nazi occupation.The Pope recalled that “for many centuries … the Jewish community and the Church of Rome have lived in our city, with a history - as we well know - which was often transversed by misunderstandings and even true grievances,” Pope Francis said. “However, it is a story, that with the help of God, has for many decades experienced the development of friendly and fraternal relations.”
“Naturally the Second Vatican Council reflections on the Catholic side have contributed” to this change in mentality “but the life and actions of wise and generous individuals on both sides have also had an important part to play with their “courageous efforts in creating new paths for understanding and dialogue”. “Paradoxically, the shared tragedy of the war taught us to walk alongside each other. In a few days we will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jewish population,” Francis added. It will be a chance to remember and pray for the victims and their families. “It will also be an opportunity to keep vigilant so that, under any pretext, any forms of intolerance and anti-Semitism in Rome and the rest of the world not come back to life. I've said it other times and I would like to repeat it now: It’s a contradiction that a Christian is anti-Semitic: His roots are Jewish,” said the Pope. “A Christian cannot be anti-Semitic! Let Anti-Semitism be banished from the heart and life of every man and every woman!”Francis also reminded his audience of the efforts made by Christians and the clergy, with Pius XII’s blessing, to help the Jewish population. The Pope also said that “the anniversary offers a chance to remember how the Christian community responded during this “hour of darkness” to the needs of his brother in difficulty. We know how many religious institutions, monasteries and Papal Basilicas, interpreting the will of the Pope, opened their doors in a brotherly welcome , and how many ordinary Christians offered what help they could give, however big or small.”“The vast majority” of these Christians, Francis said, “were not aware of the need to update the Christian understanding of Judaism, and perhaps knew very little about the life of the Jewish community, But they had the courage to do what at that time was the right thing: to protect their brother, who was in danger. I would like to emphasize this aspect, because if it is true that it is important, on both sides, to study, in depth, theological reflections through dialogue, it is also true that there is a dialogue of life, that of everyday experience, which is no less important. Indeed, without this, without a real and concrete culture of encounter, which leads to authentic relationships, which exist without prejudice and suspicion, the engagement in the intellectual field would serve little purpose.”Finally, Francis pointed to some among the “many things” that the two communities have in common: the Decalogue as a solid foundation and source of life for our society which has become disoriented as a result of an extreme pluralism of choices and orientations.The Pope also sent the community a written message to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jews. The message contained an appeal to the new generations not to let their existence become flat, not to let themselves be influenced by ideologies, never to justify the evils they come across, not let their guard down and continue fighting against anti-Semitism and racism, whatever their background.In his opening greeting to the Pope, the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo Di Segni, alluded to the Biblical story of Noah’s Arc and the global flood, saying: “there is still something about that story that torments us: out of the whole of humanity only one family survives inside a boat, while everything else is destroyed by the flood.” “But in the past few days we have seen the exact opposite happening: we’ve seen people in a boat dying while the rest of humanity survives, helpless and indifferent.” “Our history and our faith rebel against this and with your strong presence which shares in this rebellion, you have proven that we have common values to pass on to humanity,” the Chief Rabbi continued.“It was a positive meeting,” Chief Rabbi Di Segni told Vatican Insider. The Pope showed a “great willingness to listen and a propositional attitude. In both our private and public meetings we spoke about biblical exegesis, history and solidarity.”

Bergoglio gives Schultz a push: “Europe must live up to its responsibilities”

Today the Pope met with the President of the European Parliament who invited Francis to Strasbourg. The two agreed that “the Lampedusa scenario must never be repeated again”

GIACOMO GALEAZZI vatican city As the son of immigrants whose father had a lucky escape from a sinking ship, Bergoglio sent out a firm message to Europe in his meeting with the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schultz, today. The Pope called on Europe to live up to its responsibilities in order to prevent boat people tragedies like last Thursday’s one at Lampedusa, which claimed the lives of 319 illegal immigrants. The European Parliament is anxious to welcome a Pope of such “extraordinary open-mindedness”. But Bergoglio is no fan of blown up media campaigns unless he can see concrete results, so a papal visit to Strasbourg would mean a crammed schedule with lots of topics to discuss.A hot topic up for discussion is the need for greater European involvement in welcoming immigrants and in mediation for peace in Syria and the Middle East. In a press statement, Martin Schultz said that during his audience with Francis, “I spoke about the urgent problems faced by the EU and I think it’s no surprise that our conversation turned to Lampedusa and the immigration,” the President of the EU Parliament said after the meeting. He underlined that “more solidarity and a greater cooperation against despair and civil war” were crucial. “The Pope’s messages in these first few months of his pontificate encouraged me to bring him this message.” “Once again I extended the European Parliament’s invitation to the Pope to come to Strasbourg” and “I think my message was warmly received, so I am glad I had the opportunity to extend our invitation to him,” Schultz told journalists. The invitation coincides with an important anniversary: “Twenty-five years ago, on this day, John Paul II addressed the plenary of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. On behalf of the European Parliament, I have extended an invitation to Pope Francis to address the plenary."Widening the scope of legal immigration and creating more human corridors for refugees coming to Europe as well as temporary permits for refugees are measures Europe could adopt to deal with the immigration emergency after the Lampedusa boat tragedy, Schultz underlined. The subject of immigration took up much of this morning’s half-hour meeting with the Pope, who asked for greater attention to be paid to the issues linked to this phenomenon. It is an issue that Europe as a whole needs to deal with urgently but responsibility also lies with the single States. This morning Francis and the President of the European Parliament leafed through a photo album of John Paul II’s visit to the Parliament in Strasbourg 25 years ago. Schultz asked the Pope to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor and visit the European Parliament.The president gave the Pope a book of Sunday prayers and a book on Aachen Cathedral. Francis reciprocated with a Vatican Museum pen featuring one of the columns from Bernini’s “baldacchino” (canopy) which surmounts the Confession altar. Schultz was accompanied by the mayor of Aachen, the local newspaper’s editor-in-chief and the local parish priest. The Vatican’s spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said some of the issues covered during the meeting included “poverty, the emigration phenomenon and youth unemployment,”The Pope showed his appreciation for the invitation to Strasbourg. “The President’s invitation was heartfelt and will receive the Pope’s careful consideration,” Fr. Lombardi underlined. So the Pope has not yet taken Schultz up on his invitation and there was no mention of any potential dates. If a visit does take place, it will only be to the European institutions and not to the Diocese of Strasbourg, which John Paul II did visit back in 1998, the Curia pointed out.

Francis: “The devil exists, let’s not confuse it with a mental illness”

Pope Francis

In this morning’s homily for the daily mass in St. Martha’s House, Francis said “Let us not do business with the devil”

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city Pope Francis spoke again of the devil at today’s mass in St. Martha’s House, inviting faithful to take the Scriptures that mention the devil, seriously. The text Francis commented on today was a passage from Luke’s Gospel, which says that Jesus casts out demons but is not understood by the people.“There are some priests who, when they read this Gospel passage, this and others say: ‘But, Jesus healed a person with a mental illness’. They do not read this, no? It is true that at that time, they could confuse epilepsy with demonic possession; but it is also true that there was the devil! And we do not have the right to simplify the matter, as if to say: ‘All of these (people) were not possessed; they were mentally ill’. No! The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil,” Francis said.Francis’ call to faithful not to downplay or confuse the devil’s action with mental illnesses was particularly striking. Francis asked Christians not to be naĂŻve when faced with the temptation of finding explanations “to diminish the power of the Lord.” “There is always the temptation to want to diminish the figure of Jesus, as if he were “a healer at most” and so as not to take him “so seriously”. This temptation still exists today.The Pope then outlined three ways of fighting evil: “Do not confuse the truth. Jesus fights the devil: first criterion. Second criterion: he who is not with Jesus is against Jesus. There are no attitudes in the middle. Third criterion: vigilance over our hearts because the devil is astute. He is never cast out forever. It will only be so on the last day.”“Vigilance,” Francis said, “because his strategy is this: ‘You became Christian. Advance in your faith. I will leave you. I will leave you tranquil. But then when you are used to not being so watchful and you feel secure, I will come back’. The Gospel today begins with the devil being cast out and ends with the devil coming back! St. Peter would say: ‘It is like a fierce lion that circles us’. It is like that.”“‘But, Father, you a little ancient. You are frightening us with these things…’ No, not me! It is the Gospel! And these are not lies: it is the Word of the Lord! Let us ask the Lord for the grace to take these things seriously. He came to fight for our salvation. He won against the devil! Please, let us not do business with the devil! He seeks to return home, to take possession of us… Do not relativize; be vigilant! And always with Jesus!.


Mosque and school spark new feud between Turkey and Greece


AFP
Athens (AFP) - Greece and Turkey, which share a history marred by bitter territorial disputes and Christian-Muslim feuds, are at loggerheads once again over religion.The latest row erupted after Greece flatly rejected the idea of reviving two Muslim mosques in Athens in return for the reopening of an Orthodox clergy school in Turkey.Mosques have been a thorny issue for a long time in Greece, where the population is predominantly Greek Orthodox. Athens is one of the few European capitals without an official mosque.
The Halki seminary has also been a subject of controversy. The Orthodox clergy used to train in the school located on an island off Istanbul but it was closed in 1971, after Turkey fell out with Greece over Cyprus.
Turkey, a country where Muslims make up 99 percent of the population, recently decided to give back to the seminary lands that had been seized in 1943, but there was no talk of reopening."While we return something, we have the right to expect the return of other things," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who said he wanted two mosques revived in exchange for the seminary."Greece's position on the subject (the re-opening of the seminary) is clear, (it is) in accordance with international law and has been expressed on numerous occasions," Greek Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos said earlier this week.Any further public discussion on the matter would be "counter productive," Venizelos said when asked to comment on Erdogan's suggestion.Erdogan also wants Greece's Muslims to be able to elect their own Mufti (religious leader), something that the Greek government is currently in charge of.Greece is home to around 500,000 Muslims -- many of them undocumented migrants -- including a community of over 100,000 Greek citizens of Turkish origin in the country's northeast.A staunchly Orthodox state with bitter memories of nearly four centuries of Ottoman Turkish rule, Greece currently offers sanctioned Muslim religious sites only near its northeastern border with Turkey.The issue of mosques in Greece started popping up shortly after 2000, as the 2004 Athens Olympics were looming up.With an increasing number of migrants from Pakistan and other Muslim countries having recently found their way to the Greek capital, the matter has become more pressing and in 2011 the government approved the construction of a mosque in Athens.But there were no immediate signs of interest in the project, in view of the Greek Church's reluctance, objections by local residents and protests by far-right activists including neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn.In September, the ministry of infrastructure launched a fourth call for offers for this project which will cost some one million euros ($1.4 million).

DANIEL 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Danon: 'Need to Weigh Up Future of Negotiations'

In light of earlier incidents, Jordan Valley attack creates a "disturbing picture," says Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon.-By Kochava Rozenbaum-First Publish: 10/11/2013, 12:27 PM-Israelnationalnews

Although Friday's fatal attack in the Jordan Valley community of Brosh is unrelated to previous recent acts of terrorism, together they form a disturbing picture, according to Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon.
Danon told interviewers on Israeli radio network Reshet Bet that there was room to weigh up whether or not to continue negotiations with the Palestinian Authority following the attacks, and the incitement he said lay behind them.According to the Deputy Defense Minister, "forces trying to undermine" Mahmoud Abbas' leadership could also have been behind the attack."Israel expects the Palestinian Authority to react and take actions, but at the moment we are not seeing this," Danon lamented.Many political figures have rejected claims that the recent spate of terror attacks is not the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its Chaiman, Mahmoud Abbas.Following the attack in Psagot last week, which saw a nine-year old Israeli girl shot in the neck at close range, Israeli Housing Minister Uri Ariel said: “the same 'Abu' is not denouncing and the same 'Mazen' is not taking action to arrest terrorists but only making gestures.” Abu Mazen is another name for the PA Chairman. Minister Uri Ariel also said that the current violence is a problem that requires that the government “stop, think anew, reach conclusions and see how we continue.”Also following Thursday night's attack, Judea and Samaria (Yesha) Council Chairman and Head of the Binyamin Regional Council Avi Ro'eh said that the continued negotiations with the Palestinian Authority had only led to an increase in terror attacks, adding that they gave the impression of weakness and sent out the wrong message.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)

ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Houses of prayer in the Holy City

Some have been desecrated, some have been destroyed, and some have been lovingly restored, but the stories of Jerusalem’s synagogues live on

Israel’s War of Independence ended with Jerusalem divided in two — and the Old City in Jordanian hands. Unfortunately, during the course of the war, two of the Old City’s magnificent and historic synagogues were razed to the ground by the Jordanian Legion. When the Six Day War of 1967 reunited the Holy City, the Jewish Quarter returned to Israel. Restorations began on a number of important sites, including several sanctuaries that had been demolished, desecrated or taken away by the Muslim authorities over the centuries. Here are a few of their stories:

Four Sephardic Synagogues

Rabbi Yochanan Ben-Zakkai was a first century sage and a member of the Sanhedrin (the highest Jewish court and council in ancient times) who kept Jewish learning alive after the fall of the Second Temple. In the 16th century, a sanctuary in Jerusalem was named after the famous rabbi, which was joined, over the next 200 years, by three adjoining houses of worship. Called the Four Sephardic Synagogues, that complex is located on the edge of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City and serves as a major spiritual, educational, and financial center for Sephardic Jews. Indeed, it is here that the Chief Rabbi of the Sephardic community has been anointed since 1893 (except during the years of Jerusalem’s division). The largest of the four chambers is the Ben-Zakkai Synagogue on which site, according to tradition, the revered rabbi taught Bible. A smaller sanctuary next door, named for Elijah the prophet, has been the subject of numerous stories. My favorite is the tale about the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) when only nine Jews showed up for prayers (services can’t start without ten). Suddenly a stranger appeared and the worshipers happily began to pray. Immediately after the service, the stranger vanished. It was obvious to the others that the tenth addition had been Elijah — who saves the day on all kinds of different occasions.Kahal Zion, also known as the Middle Synagogue, is the smallest of the four sanctuaries. On the wall are framed computer-produced memorials. These replace stone memorials which were destroyed by the Jordanians during and after the War of Independence. Built by immigrant Jews from Istanbul, and today used by Jews from Kurdistan as well, the fourth chamber is called the Istanbuli Synagogue. This 18th-century sanctuary boasts an extraordinary pulpit with exquisite ornamentation; its gold-plated wooden ark has been lovingly restored.In 1948, this place of worship was a last refuge for the Jews of the Old City, who were forced to surrender when the soldiers of the Arab Legion closed in on them. Nineteen years later, when Jewish soldiers re-entered the synagogue complex, they found that the Jordanians had turned the historic house of worship into a stable. Since that time the synagogue has been completely restored.

Tiferet Yisrael

When completed in 1872, Tiferet Yisrael was three stories high and its dome was one of the tallest spots in the Old City. It was built by followers of a religious movement founded in the 18th century, when Judaism was sometimes considered the sole domain of scholars and community leaders. The new movement, called Hasidism, made Judaism accessible and attractive to all, teaching that even an ignorant person could find grace in the eyes of God if he had a pure heart and prayed with devotion.

In 1948, Tiferet Yisrael became an important military position and lookout point for Jewish defenders, and the battle over the building led to its destruction. Already badly damaged by heavy shelling, Tiferet Yisrael was completely demolished by Jordanian sappers in the days following the capitulation of the Jewish Quarter. Dome and walls collapsed and covered the building’s foundations. While some of its splendid features can still be seen in the ruins, this is the one early synagogue that has not been restored.

The Ramban Synagogue

Established in 1267, this was the very first synagogue to be built in the Jewish Quarter. Its founder was a well-known Spanish biblical commentator, Rabbi Moshe Ben-Nahman (1194-1270). His name is abbreviated in Hebrew as the famous acronym: the Ramban and he is also known as Nahmanides.
Commander Abdullah A-Tal decided to completely destroy Jewish morale and thus to purge the city of Jews once and for all. He gave an order — and the synagogue was blown to bits
Rabbi Moshe Ben-Nahman immigrated to the land of Israel after participating in a debate on religion with the royalty of Spain. Having won the debate, he was then forced to leave the country. Spain’s loss was Israel’s gain. Rabbi Ben-Nahman wasted no time in building a synagogue, traditionally on this site, utilizing marble pillars and a lovely dome from an abandoned edifice in its construction. Since the synagogue was a religious center for all of the Jewish groups in the city, the Jewish Quarter developed around it. In 1586, the Turkish governor of Jerusalem kicked the Jews out of their synagogue and Muslims began using the building as a storeroom for a neighboring mosque. The beautiful interior of the synagogue, reconstructed after the reunification of Jerusalem and returned to use after almost four centuries of neglect, contains one of its former columns. The pillar bears the Hebrew inscription “Avraham, Yitzhak, Ya’akov” (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).

The Hurva Synagogue

Several decades ago, a naked arch was erected above a pile of rubble in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter. It quickly became a Jerusalem landmark, seen on countless postcards and photographs. Considered by many to be a symbol of wanton destruction – and to others the promise of future redemption – the arch has completely disappeared. It was replaced by the complete restoration of the exquisite Hurva Synagogue, which stood on this site before its destruction by the Jordanian Legion in 1948.

The first synagogue to be erected on this spot was built in 1705 by Ashkenazi followers of Rabbi Yehuda HaHasid. Five years earlier, the rabbi and his disciples had come to Jerusalem from eastern Europe to hasten the coming of the Messiah. Although the rabbi passed away soon after his arrival, his followers were desperate for a synagogue. Since money was scarce, they were forced to borrow heavily from the local Muslim populace in order to complete its construction. A few decades later, when the Jews were unable to pay back the loans, Muslim rioters demolished the synagogue and expelled the Ashkenazi community from Jerusalem. In 1836, a small place of Ashkenazi worship called Menachem Zion was constructed at the site; a house of study, Sha’arei Zion, was added in 1856. But the very large center for Ashkenazi Jews that would stand here eventually was completed only in 1864, with the help of the philanthropic Rothschild family. Officially named Beit Ya’akov, after the Baron James (Ya’akov in Hebrew) de Rothschild, it continued to be known as the Hurva (“Ruin”) of Rabbi Yehuda HaHasid.

A splendid edifice, Beit Ya’akov was the tallest structure in the Jewish Quarter, with lovely interior wall decorations and a stunning Holy Ark from Russia. The synagogue became the center of Jewish life in Jerusalem, so important that, during the War of Independence, defenders of the Jewish Quarter kept the fighting away from the site. On May 27th, 1948, when the Jewish Quarter was under siege and its buildings devastated, Commander Abdullah A-Tal decided to completely destroy Jewish morale and thus to purge the city of Jews once and for all. He gave an order — and the synagogue was blown to bits. On the very next day, the brave defenders of the Jewish Quarter surrendered. But times have changed. And today, risen from the ashes, the Hurva Synagogue once again towers over the Jewish Quarter. —————————————————————————————————————– Aviva Bar-Am is the author of seven English-language guides to Israel.

GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Rain and wind batter Indian coast as huge storm approaches; three dead


Reuters
ICHAPURAM/BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - Rain and wind lashed India's east coast on Saturday, forcing about 450,000 people to flee to shelters as one of the country's largest cyclones closed in, threatening to cut a swathe of devastation through farmland and fishing hamlets.Filling most of the Bay of Bengal, Cyclone Phailin was about 90 km (124 miles) off the coast by late afternoon and was expected to strike the coast by nightfall with winds of between 210 kph (130 mph) and 220 kph (137 mph).The storm was expected to affect 12 million people, most of them in the densely populated states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, weather and disaster management officials said.Even before landfall, coconut trees in villages along the coast were bent and broken in the gusting wind. Electrical poles were brought down and roads were littered with debris.
In the first reported deaths, two people were killed by falling trees while a third when the walls of her mud house collapsed.Terrified children clung to their mothers as they sought shelter. Most towns along the coast were deserted but there were still some people trying to flee.Some people took refuge in temples, others crammed into three-wheel auto-rickshaws and headed inland."This is one of the largest evacuations undertaken in India," said Shashidhar Reddy, vice chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority, who estimated that more than 440,000 people had fled from their homes.The size of the storm made extensive damage to property more likely, he told reporters in New Delhi. "Our priority is to minimize loss of life."Phailin is expected to bring a 3.4-m (11-foot) surge in sea levels when it hits the coast between 1230 GMT and 1430 GMT.
EXTENSIVE DAMAGE
The weather department warned of extensive damage to mud houses, major disruption of power and communication lines, and the flooding of rail tracks and roads. Flying debris is another threat."In a storm of this magnitude there is the potential for widespread damage to crops and livestock in the low-lying coastal areas and houses completely wiped away," said Kunal Shah, the head of the aid group World Vision's emergency response team in India."While we are praying this storm loses intensity, we're also preparing."

American Scientists Warn Against Loose Missiles in Syria

Syria's anti-aircraft missiles could imperil civil aviation if they fall into the hands of terror groups, warns American scientists group.-By Elad Benari, Canada-First Publish: 10/12/2013, 12:19 AM-INNEWS

The Syrian government's shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles and launchers could imperil civil aviation if they fall into the hands of terror groups, an independent report examining the global proliferation of portable missiles says.The report released Friday by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and reported on by the Associated Press, warns that some opposition factions inside Syria are already wielding small numbers of anti-aircraft systems in combat against Syrian government forces.Citing video and photo evidence from opposition forces, media and official accounts, the FAS study says some portable launchers and missiles have been seized by opposition forces during battles with Syrian troops, while others have been smuggled in to rebel fighters from neighboring countries.FAS is a prominent Washington group that focuses on issues of science and security.The 88-page report warns about man-portable air-defense systems, also known as MANPADS, in the arsenal of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's government. U.S. officials have estimated the Syrian government has as many as 20,000 MANPADS, compact missile launchers with the range and explosive power to attack low-flying planes and helicopters.It is unclear how many similar weapons might have been smuggled into Syria by rebels and sympathizers to fight Assad.Syria's anti-aircraft missile inventory is comparable in size to that amassed by Libyan forces before the 2011 ouster of Muammar Qaddafi. The FAS study cites the widespread looting of anti-aircraft weapons that occurred after Qaddafi’s fall and the mass ransacking of Iraqi weapons depots after the U.S. invasion in 2003 as evidence that Syria's missiles are equally vulnerable.The report said it was unclear whether any have been smuggled out of Libya.
"Should Syria go the way of Libya and Iraq, the international community could be confronted with the loss of government control over thousands of additional MANPADS, some of which are significantly more sophisticated than most of the MANPADS looted from depots in Libya," wrote the study's author, Matthew Schroeder, director of the FAS' Arms Sales Monitoring Project.Both militant and moderate opposition forces have repeatedly urged Western and Mideast nations to supply them with portable anti-aircraft systems capable of downing Syrian aircraft used in bombing runs at rebel and civilian targets. The U.S. has so far balked at providing missiles, worried that some could end up with terrorist groups such as the Al-Nusra Front which has pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.Verifying the authenticity of videos and photos depicting the missiles in Syria has been difficult, but Schroeder said that a "broad array of sources," which include media eyewitness accounts of the use of missiles, point to the availability and occasional use of anti-aircraft weapons in Syria.Many of the portable launchers displayed by Syrian rebel groups on the Internet, Schroeder said, appear to be decades-old models such as Russian-made SA-7s — similar to ones found in Libya after Qaddafi’s ouster.Unlike Libya, Syria's military has a larger supply of newer and longer-range models supplied from Russia, Schroeder said, and as a result, Syrian rebels also appear to have seized some new-model Russian missile launchers.The report was released the same day that Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that groups of Syrian rebel forces executed at least 190 civilians and seized over 200 as hostages during a military offensive on August 4.According to the report, a majority of the massacres took place in the city of Latakia, predominantly inhabited by members of Bashar Al-Assad's minority Alawite sect.Al-Nusra and other jihadist rebel groups vowed revenge strikes against villages from the Alawite community over a chemical weapons attack in Damascus on August 21.Members of Al-Nusra and other rebel groups have committed atrocities during the Syrian civil war, including publicly beheading a Catholic priest who was accused of collaborating with Bashar Al-Assad’s regime.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

N. Korea warns of 'all-out war'


Seoul (AFP) - North Korea on Saturday issued a fresh warning of an "all-out war", urging the United States to stop military drills and what it described as "nuclear blackmail".In a thinly veiled threat to strike the United States, the North's National Defence Commission (NDC), chaired by leader Kim Jong-Un, said the US government must withdraw its policy of hostility against the North if it wants peace on both the Korean peninsula and the "US mainland"."(The United States) must bear it in mind that reckless provocative acts would meet our retaliatory strikes and lead to an all-out war of justice for a final showdown with the United States," a spokesman of the NDC was quoted as saying in a statement carried by Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency."We emphasize again that the United States must withdraw various measures aimed to isolate and strangulate us. Dependent upon this are... peace and security, not only on the Korean peninsula but the US mainland as well."The comments come after a two-day joint naval drill between Japan, South Korea and the US, which included an American nuclear aircraft carrier, sparked a series of angry responses and threats from Pyongyang.On Friday the North slammed a naval drill by US, South Korean and Japanese warships as a "serious military provocation" and vowed to "bury in the sea" the American carrier taking part in the exercise.The latest bellicose statement from the NDC demanded that the US lift sanctions against the North, stop the "constant nuclear blackmails" and various war drills.It rejected as "intolerable contempt" a US demand that it should show tangible commitment towards abandoning its nuclear programmes if it wants substantive talks with the United States."The denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is an inalterable policy goal of the DPRK government," it said, but added that getting rid of such weapons should also include a total removal of US nuclear threats against the North.The US and South Korea have long demanded that Pyongyang show tangible commitment to ending its nuclear weapons programme before the six-party talks, which have been stalled for several years, can resume.The North has said for years it wants denuclearisation of the whole Korean peninsula and that it is developing a nuclear arsenal to protect itself from the US military, which occasionally sends nuclear-powered warships and aircraft capable of carrying atomic weapons.In February the North carried out its third underground nuclear test in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions, sending tensions soaring and raising fears of possible conflict. It also launched a rocket in December that Washington said was a disguised ballistic missile test.As well as the two Koreas, China and the US the six-party talks also involve Russia and Japan.

CAIR now stalking professor it doesn’t like, trespassing in his class

On top of its epic struggle to understand the First Amendment, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has now shown that it apparently doesn’t understand elementary trespassing law.On October 1, Samantha L. Bowden, CAIR’s communication and outreach director in Florida, drove about 80 miles from Tampa, Fla. to Orlando, Fla. to “stalk” University of Central Florida (UCF) professor Jonathan Matusitz by impermissibly sitting in one of his scheduled classes, according to the website Family Security Matters.
“As I started teaching my class, I noticed that a female stranger was sitting at the back of the classroom. That person never asked me if she could enter my class and sit in the back of the classroom,” Matusitz explained, apparently in a police report.“When I approached her, that person introduced herself as Samantha. Because Samantha is not one of my students, I asked her to leave. In the beginning, she was insisting to stay in my class. I had to ask her a few times before she finally left.”Matusitz said he realized that Bowden works for CAIR not long after she finally left.“She is based in Tampa,” the professor added. “She is not a UCF student and never was a UCF student.”A profile by SaintPetersBlog notes that Bowden is a registered Democrat who spent time volunteering with Rock the Vote and was a “prominent Occupy activist.” She majored in international affairs and geography at the University of South Florida. One day, she hopes to visit the Middle East.Florida law prohibits trespassing on the campuses of state universities. A specific UCF regulation prohibits trespassing and loitering. “Only students registered for a class may be in attendance in instructional areas unless permission of the instructor is given,” it reads.CAIR has quite a history of trying to intimidate Matusitz, a tenured communications professor. The Muslim civil liberties group doesn’t like Matusitz’s argument linking Muslim culture to radical Islamic terrorism.In August, CAIR asked government officials in Brevard County, Fla. to deny the use of a county-owned meeting room to a group hosting a speech by Matusitz. CAIR called the group, ACT! for America, “an anti-Muslim hate group.” (RELATED: CAIR tries to ban professor’s speech on ‘The Islamic Threat to America’) ACT! for America is a conservative organization that bills itself as standing athwart the threat posed by radical Islam.
CAIR representatives told the Orlando Sentinel that an exception to the First Amendment should be made for Matusitz’s speech.“This individual makes statements to incite violence against the Muslim community, so I think that the line has been crossed,” explained Hassan Shibly, a lawyer and executive director of CAIR of Tampa. “ACT! is an extremist group no different than the KKK. And if the KKK wanted to use that room, there would be a protest.”Doug “Ibrahim” Hooper, CAIR’s national communications director, piped up, too.
“It creates the perception of endorsement and approval by the Brevard County government of this group’s hateful views,” he said.According to his faculty webpage, Matusitz has a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. He claims 95 academic publications and more than 100 conference presentations. Also, in 2010, he taught at a NATO-affiliated military base in Belgium.Follow Eric on Twitter and on Facebook, and send education-related story tips to erico@dailycaller.com.oin the conversation on The Daily Caller
