The Religion of Statism in Israel

 30 Nisan 5774
Rosh Chodesh Alef
Day 15 of the Omer

As the birur continues in preparation for the ultimate redemption, polarizing forces are pushing people to choose their side. For those who choose Israeliness over Jewishness, there is a new religion that is tailor-made just for them - Israeli Statism.  It takes on the outward trappings of Judaism and presents itself as equally holy, but internally it is rotten. (You see a lot of this kind of people in the Bayit Yehudi political party.)


Here is a prime example of what I am talking about. A "secular-religious midrasha" is proposing a new 10-day holiday which it compares to the God-given ten days of repentance (as if man invented Judaism in the first place). Of course, the new religion of Statism will establish its new holiday based on the State's invented holidays and celebration of itself - Yom HaShoah through Yom Ha'atzmaut.

Midrasha students launch initiative to establish new Jewish holiday ‘Ten Days of Thanks'

The secular-religious Midrasha Ein Prat, a post-military Jewish studies academy in the Judean Desert, announced an initiative on Tuesday to add a new holiday to the Jewish calendar: “Ten Days of Thanks.”

Beginning on Holocaust Remembrance Day and ending 10 days later on Independence Day, Ten Days of Thanks would correspond to the Ten Days of Repentance – the period between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur that, according to Jewish tradition, enables human beings to develop their relationship with God. The new holiday aims to emulate this tradition with a “secular” period to develop the relationship between Israelis and the State of Israel, as well as to highlight the significance of these historically important days...

  1. It's in Ein 'Prat', a very appropriate name!

  2. All part of the agenda of deJudaizing Israel, so a new religion has to be formed (without G-D, of course). These are the ones who think they invented GD because deep down they are probably agnostics/athiests. With a youth void of any yiddishkeit, these new 'Israelis' can now have a whole new belief system, G-D forbid.

  3. An important post.

    Why do I have this feeling that things are only going to get worse?

    I'm not sure that people like these are the main problem. The main problem is that there aren't enough Tomer Devorah's out there pointing this stuff out, and attempting to make Jews see the reality of what's going on.

    It's so frustrating.

    I guess it's worth it if we can just get one more Jew to wake, and then one more and then one more....
