Three Arab youths were caught Saturday night desecrating Jewish holy
books at a sacred Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem. The vandals were in the
process of trying to burn several Tehillim – volumes of the Book of Psalms authored by the Biblical King David – at the ancient Mount of Olives Cemetery.The three perpetrators, Arab teens about 16 years old, are residents of the Arab neighborood adjacent to the cemetery. All were arrested;
two confessed to the crime, and the third was also found to have been
involved although he continued to deny it. Police told reporters they
plan to expedite prosecution of the case.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Days of Awe Begin Sunday Evening with the New Year Holiday
"Repentance,
prayer and charity will avert evil decrees" and bring each of us closer
to what G-d intended for man to be. Shana Tova to all.By Arutz Sheva Staff First Publish: 9/16/2012, 12:32 PM
Rosh haShanah
The Jewish People begin the High Holydays, or Days of
Awe, on Sunday evening, on the first of the Hebrew month of Tishrei,
ushering in the year 5773 with nearly a month of special days: Two days
of Rosh Hashannah on Monday and Tuesday, the Fast of Gedaliah on
Wednesday and then Shabbat Shuva, the Sabbath of Repentance. Rosh Hashannah is also the start of the Ten Days of
Repentance which culminate with the solemn Fast of Yom Kippur on the
tenth day of Tishrei. Special verses about repentance are added to the
silent Amidah prayer said three times daily during these ten days.
Sukkoth, or Tabernacles, the holiday of joy, follows five days later.The preceding month of Elul has been dedicated to effecting
change and approaching G-d. The shofar was sounded each morning after
services, and Psalm 27 alluding to all three holidays was recited daily
(and is continued till the end of Sukkot). Selichot, throughout the month in the Sephardi community and for the past week in the Ashkenazi community, were said at dawn.
Teshuvah, Repentance
This is Judaism's time for introspection, when Jews look
back and examine their actions in the year that has just ended, seeking
to improve their observance of the Torah’s commandments directed towards
G-d and towards their fellow man. They are expected to ask forgiveness
from those they may have offended or hurt during the past year, a
stipulation for Heavenly forgiveness for sins towards one's fellow man.Repentance includes several steps: recognition of the sin,
confessing the sin, and resolving not to repeat it in the future. Many
books and articles have been written on how to do teshuva, repentance,
with the basic text being Maimonides' "Hilkhot Teshuva" [The Laws of
Teshuva, ed.]. Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik's "Al Hateshuva", based on
Maimonides' work, has become a classic text. Both works, and many
others, are available in English.Rabbi Chaim Druckman, venerable head of Or Etzion Yeshiva,
formerly MK, head of all the hesder yeshivas and the Conversion
Authority, said Monday at a study day about the Days of Awe that
repentance, or teshuva, is a return to a person's source.
Fast of Gedaliah and Shabbt Shuvah
The Fast of Gedaliah commemorates the end of Jewish rule in
the Land of Israel following the destruction of the First Holy Temple
some 2,500 years ago, prompting the sages to say that the death of a
righteous man is equivalent to the destruction of the Temple.On the Sabbath of Repentance this coming Saturday, a
special chapter is read from the book of the prophet Hosea, calling the
Jewish people to repent and return to G-d. Rabbis traditionally deliver a
sermon, drasha, on repentance, in the afternoon.
Observing The New Year Holiday
The Jewish New Year has several names, among them the Day
of Remembrance and the Day of Judgment. It is a time for careful
stock-taking of one's relationship with G-d, and the longer Rosh
Hashannah morning prayers filled with emotion, responsive readings and
songs, are therefore intense and inspirational – usually led by a
carefully chosen cantor or member of the congregation - concentrating on
G-d's Kingship, eternal presence and His judgment of all creatures.“Repentance, prayer and charity avert the evil decree” is a central line from the Machzor, the special holiday prayer book, listing the course of action that it is hoped will lead to meriting a good year.Upon returning home after the evening prayers, symbolic foods – simanim
- are served, whose names in Hebrew allow a play on words. They
include pomegranates (for our merits to be numerous) , beets and carrots
(for our enemies to be destroyed) that we lead rather than follow (fish
head).
There are especially sweet ones, such as apples dipped in
honey, to symbolize a sweet year. In Israel, many Ashkenazim have
adopted the more varied simanim of their Sephardi neighbors,
adding to their traditional fish head, carrots, pomegranates, beets and
apples, the more exotic ruvia, kara, and more. Booklets are available
with the lists and special sayings for each food.Fruits that require a special Shehecheyanu
blessing, said for something new, because they are being eaten for the
first time since the previous season, are served on the second night.
Pomegranates are often used for this purpose. Traditionally, children -
adults too -wear a new garment for the first time the second night which
calls for saying the blessing. Candles are lit both nights, but it is
forbidden to light a match on the holiday, so an existing flame is used
to kindle them and the Shehecheyanu blessing said while lighting on the
second night, somewhat questionable as this is one long holiday and not a
new one, is intended to also cover the new fruit and clothes.Another name for the holiday is Day of Sounding the Shofar.
Based on the commandment in Numbers 29:1, 100 shofar blasts are
dramatically sounded throughout the prayers, "awakening" us to improve
our ways. The congregation refrains from speech from the first shofar
blasts until the last ones at the end of the service..The Tashlikh prayer is recited on the first afternoon, preferably near a live stream of water in which we ask G-d to "throw away" our sins.
In Israel
Many religious Israeli youth spend the holiday at secular
kibbutzim to lead the services, volunteer to lead services in the IDF
and in hospitals.The IDF is prepared with tons of honey and apples, has
received Rosh Hashannah cards from hundreds of kindergarteners, but is
also on careful guard to keep synagogues and residents secure on the
holiday. Breslover Hassidim and others continue a custom of going to
Uman, Ukraine, to pray at the gravesite synagogues of their spiritual
leader, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, who passed away in Tishrei of 1810.
Prominent rabbis, however, oppose the idea of leaving the Holy Land to
spend Rosh Hashanah in the Diaspora.On the Fast of Yom Kippur, the most solemn day of the
Jewish year, the Kol Nidrei prayer ushers in the holiday at night and a
shofar blast signals its end the next
night. It is customary to begin building the sukkah for the seven (or
nine in the Diaspora) days of that happy festival, right after the fast,
so as to perform a mitzvah as soon as possible.
Arutz Sheva wishes all its readers and the entire
Jewish people a sweet and good new year. May we be inscribed in the Book
of Life for health and happiness, love of the Land of Israel and true
peace.For articles on the meaning of Rosh Hashannah, a tale of HaRav Kook for the hoiday, preparing spiritually for the New Year, meaning of Rosh Hashannah, preparing spiritually for the New Year , the three types of shofar blasts and the shofar's symbolism, click here.

Desecration of graves at Mount of Olives

When a controversial Florida-based Christian cleric burned the
Islamic holy book, the Qur'an in 2010, the incident sparked worldwide
rage and violent riots by Muslims around the globe. One week ago, an
obscure, amateur video clip produced by an individual in the U.S. mocking the life of the Prophet
Mohammed, founder of Islam, sparked massive violent attacks against
U.S. and other Western diplomatic missions around the world as well.A U.S. Ambassdor, three American diplomats and two U.S. Marines were
murdered and diplomatic missions in Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and
Sudan were badly damaged by Muslim extremists last week -- all using the
"insulting" video clip as the excuse.The Mount of Olives cemetery is an ancient, sacred Jewish burial
ground still used today for interrment of modern rabbinic leaders along
side holy Torah sages dating back thousands of years. The great Torah
Sage and head of the worldwide Lithuanian hareidi-religious yeshiva
world, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv was laid to rest at the cemetery earlier this summer, when he passed away at age 102. Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook,
the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of the modern State of Israel, is among
the righteous Jewish leaders who are interred at the cemetery.But there have been numerous reports in various news outlets – including Arutz Sheva – noting complaints about countless incidents of Arab vandalism, desecration and attacks on Jews at and near the site. Some examples:This past July, Arabs in a car who struck a vehicle with Jewish
passengers near the cemetery got out of their car and began to attack
the Jewish driver and his daughter. The lone police officer present was unable to stop the violence and was forced to call for backup. In a separate incident, a Jew who visited his grandfather's grave at the cemetery in June was horrified to discover local Arabs had used the cemetery as a place to throw out trash and burn household waste.In February, U.S. Representatives Elliot Engel and Jerry Nadler, and
Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of American
Jewish Organizations Malcolm Hoenlein were attacked by Arab rock
throwers during their own visit to the Mount of Olives. The two
lawmakers and Hoenlein all noted past video evidence of Arab vandalism and desecration at the Jewish holy site. Charley J. Levine, adviser to the Preservation Committee in Israel, told Arutz Sheva
at the time, “This is not a freak occurrence. This sort of vicious
vandalism and desecration occurs at Har HaZeitim (Mount of Olives) every
single day – some orchestrated, and some spontaneous."

Israel says U.S. must be firm on stopping Iran nuclear threat
By Dan Williams | Reuters – 50 mins ago SEPT 16,12
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A senior Israeli official said on Sunday the United States should not wait for Iran to decide on building a nuclear weapon before it considers military action against the Islamic Republic
"When is the point at which it should be stopped? Just
when the bomb is assembled on the tip of the missile and is ready for
launch?" Dan Meridor, deputy Israeli prime minister with responsibility for nuclear and intelligence affairs, said in a radio interview.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sees a mortal threat to Israel from Tehran, has hinted he could resort to war unless Washington and other world powers give Iran an ultimatum on curbing its uranium enrichment programme.U.S. President Barack Obama
has rebuffed Netanyahu's lobbying, opening a rift between the allies
although they agree that Iran has yet to take the final steps of
purifying uranium to military grade and assembling a warhead.Tehran denies seeking the bomb, saying its nuclear
projects are for peaceful energy and medical purposes. Diplomatic talks
between it and world powers have so-far proved fruitless.Speaking on Israel Radio, Meridor praised the Obama
administration for its insistence that it will not allow Iran to get
nuclear arms. But such shows of resolve must be emphasized, he said.Iran could reach stage of nuclear development which
would allow it to make a warhead quickly years in the future when the
world's guard was down, he said."This demands clarification, to my mind, to make clear
that even an Iran that is a decision away from nuclear weaponry, be it
within days or weeks, is a nuclear-armed Iran," Meridor said.The Israelis have made clear they sees the window of
opportunity to strike Iran closing as it digs in and defends its
facilities.While not explicitly stating when they would consider
Iran close enough to the nuclear threshold to warrant a war, Israeli officials
say they are watching the pace of its fortification, its uranium
enrichment to 20 percent purity - just short of bomb-fuel grade, and its
production of enrichment centrifuges."I think the question is when the crucial stage is
passed beyond which you will be hard-pressed to stop Iran from
assembling a nuclear bomb," Netanyahu said in a Jerusalem Post interview
published on Sunday.Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak accused Iran in May
of pursuing a strategy that would allow it to build a bomb at 60 days'
notice.Israel refuses to confirm or deny its own nuclear
capabilities, which are widely believed to include the Middle East's
only atomic arsenal. Iran's eastern neighbor, U.S.-allied Pakistan, is
also nuclear-armed.(Writing by Dan Williams; Editing by Angus MacSwan) Fury over Mohammad video simmers on in Muslim world
Reuters – 1 hr 40 mins ago SEPT 16,12
DUBAI (Reuters) - A wave of furious anti-Western protests against a film mocking the Prophet Mohammad abated on Saturday, but U.S. policy in the Muslim world remained overshadowed by 13 minutes of amateurish video on the Internet.Washington ordered family members and non-essential staff to leave the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, which was attacked on Friday, after Sudan turned down its request to send Marines to bolster security.In addition, it
pulled non-essential personnel out of its embassy in the Tunisian
capital, Tunis, also attacked on Friday, and urged American citizens to leave the city.Marine platoons have been sent to U.S. missions in Yemen and Libya since the unrest erupted.Elsewhere, riot police stormed into Cairo's Tahrir
Square and rounded up hundreds of people after four days of clashes and
demands from protesters for the U.S. ambassador to be expelled.Saudi Arabia's highest religious authority denounced
the attacks on diplomats and embassies across the Middle East as
un-Islamic.But the Yemen-based branch of al Qaeda applauded the
killings of U.S. diplomats in Libya and urged Muslims to kill more,
calling the video posted on the Internet another chapter in the
"crusader wars" against Islam.A California man convicted of bank fraud, who has
denied reports that he was involved in the film's production, was taken
in for questioning by officers investigating possible probation
violations stemming from the making of the film.
Hundreds of Muslims took to the streets of Australia's largest city, some throwing rocks and bottles in clashes with police. Some carried placards reading "Behead all those who insult the Prophet".About 80 Islamist militants were arrested in Paris while trying to demonstrate outside the U.S. Embassy near the Champs Elysees, French police sources said.Saturday was, however, relatively calm after at least nine deaths in the Muslim world on Friday during protests and attacks on American and other Western embassies.
President Barack Obama, leading a ceremony on Friday to honor the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans who died in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on September 11, vowed to "stand fast" against the violence."The United States will never retreat from the world," he said. The Pentagon rushed to bolster security at missions abroad.The U.S. State Department on Saturday also urged American citizens to avoid Sudan's restive Darfur, Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan regions.Libyan authorities said they had identified 50 people who were involved in the attack in which ambassador Christopher Stevens died.In an interview aired on Saturday on NBC's "Nightly News," Libyan President Mohammed Magarief was quoted as saying that foreigners along with Libyans were involved in the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. He added there were 10 suspects in custody.Saudi Arabia's Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al al-Sheikh, denounced the attacks while urging governments and international bodies to criminalize insults against prophets.He described the short film as "miserable" and "criminal," but said attacks on the innocent and on diplomats were "a distortion of the Islamic religion and are not accepted by God".

Afghanistan's Taliban claimed responsibility for an attack on a base that killed two American Marines, saying it was a response to the insults to the founder of Islam.

The video, circulating on the Internet under several
titles including "Innocence of Muslims," portrays Mohammad as a
womanizer and a fool."We were attacked by Obama, and his government, and the
Coptic Christians living abroad!" shouted one long-bearded Muslim
protester outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Friday.In the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos, Nakoula Basseley
Nakoula, 55, who has denied involvement in the film in a phone call to a
Coptic Christian bishop, was ushered out of his home and into a waiting
car by sheriff's deputies, his face shielded by a scarf, hat and
sunglasses.He was voluntarily interviewed by federal probation
officers and left about 30 minutes later, a police spokesman said.U.S. officials have
said authorities are not investigating the film project itself, and
that even if it was inflammatory or led to violence, simply producing it
cannot be considered a crime in the United States, which has strong
free speech laws.
A statement posted
on a website used by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula called on Muslims
to "follow the example of Omar al-Mukhtar's descendants (Libyans), who
killed the American ambassador".
"Let the step of kicking out the embassies be a step
towards liberating Muslim countries from the American hegemony," the
group said.Hundreds of
mourners in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, attended the funeral on Saturday
of a young protester shot to death when riot police battled a crowd
attacking the U.S. Embassy on Thursday.(Writing by Andrew Roche; Editing by Kevin Liffey and Peter Cooney) Pope makes peace appeal at open-air Mass in Beirut
By | Associated Press – 1 hr 4 mins ago SEPT 16,12
BEIRUT (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI
made a sweeping appeal Sunday for peace in Syria and the Middle East,
decrying the violence "which generates so much suffering."Speaking
at an open-air Mass before a huge crowd, he urged the international
community and Arab countries in particular to find a solution to end the
conflict in neighboring Syria."Why so much horror? Why so many dead," Benedict said, lamenting that "the first victims are women and children."With
pilgrims from across the Middle East in the crowd he said Christians
must do their part to end the "grim trail of death and destruction" in
the region."I appeal to you all to be peacemakers," Benedict said.Benedict spoke from an altar built on land reclaimed with debris from Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war, pressing ahead with his call for peace and reconciliation between Christians and Muslims.The Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, said local organizers put the crowd at some 350,000 people.Benedict said that justice and peace are needed in building "a fraternal society, for building fellowship."The 85-year pope, wearing green vestments, appeared to be holding up well in the Mediterranean heat.Helicopters flew overhead and soldiers set up roadblocks and patrolled streets in downtown Beirut.The
crowd cheered and waved tiny Vatican and Lebanese flags as Benedict
arrived in his bullet-proof popemobile at the Mass site on the Beirut
waterfront.Benedict has been appealing for tolerance and religious freedom.At
a meeting with young people Saturday evening, the pope said he admired
the courage of Syrian youth and that he did not forget their suffering.The
papal visit comes amid soaring sectarian tensions in the region,
exacerbated by the conflict in Syria, which is in the throes of an
18-month-old civil war.
