CLAIM
"We beg Thee, O Lord, inflict Thy wrath on
the nations not believing in Thee. Take away, O Lord all hope from them.
Destroy all foes of Thy nation."--Synagoga Judaica, p. 212. Minhagen, p.
23. Crach Chaim, 480 Hagah
RESPONSE
This is stated in the Haggada of Passover,
it is the passage beginning with "Shefoch Chamatcha". After what the gentiles
have done to the Jews through the ages I see no wrong at all in praying
to G-d to destroy our assailants. The prayer is not against gentiles in
general only against the bloodthirsty barbarous anti-Semites as the prayer
carries on the say "because they have destroyed Jacob (the people of Israel)
and demolished your sanctuary". This end is of course deliberately excluded
from the text they copied for this reason. E.S.
CLAIM
"The teachings of the Talmud stand above all
other laws. They are more important than the laws of Moses."- Rabbi Ismael,
Rabbi Chambar, et. al.
RESPONSE
The passage as quoted is clearly spurious.
Rabbi Ishmael lived far too early to be saying anything about the Talmud
(which was not compiled until centuries afterwards), and there is nobody
with a name that sounds remotely like Rabbi "Chambar."
There are some statements that speak of the teachings of the sages as being "more beloved" before God than those of the Torah (because of their human component), or requiring more strengthening (i.e., additional stringencies lest people treat them lightly). I am not aware of any statement that formulates it as in the passage. From Usenet message: catamont-2305980759150001@ts003d13.den-co.concentric.net
CLAIM
"The decisions of the Talmud are the words
of the living God. Jehovah Himself asks the opinion of the earthly rabbis
when there are difficult affairs in heaven." - Rabbi Menachem Commentary
on Fifth Book
RESPONSE
Although the sources quoted do not exist
it is because of the ignorance of the one who copied it, but the general
idea is correct. The Talmud and commentaries state many times that both
sides of a dispute between Talmudic sages are actually true they are just
stating the two ways of logic reasoning while both concepts originate from
G-d's divine wisdom. That is why so to speak G-d learns the Talmud, it
means to say he is the source of all the Talmudic reasoning, and he "states"
the laws in name of the sages who projected the divine logic of each opinion.
By the way the sources quoted are definitely forged as name "Jehova" is
never mentioned in any novellae apart from the scriptures as it is strictly
forbidden to utter it at all. E.S./edited D.S.M.
CLAIM
"Jehovah Himself studies the Talmud standing,
he has such respect for that book."-Tract Mechilla.
RESPONSE
There is no tractate called Mechila and
there seems to be no mentioning of G-d studying the Talmud standing. In
general whenever you see the word "Jehovah" in a cite it is the best proof
it is forged as this name is never ever mentioned in the Talmud or Poskim
as it is strictly prohibited to pronounce it. E.S.
CLAIM
"It is more wicked to question the words of
the rabbis than that of the Torah."- Michna Sanhedryn 11:3.
RESPONSE
This severity is not relating to all aspects
as we see by the punishment given to those who transgress Torah laws is
by far more strict. However, as the sages had to enforce their decrees,
usually for the benefit of public safety, in a way, one who transgresses
these decrees is undermining the words of the sages and violating the whole
concept of communal adherence, which will effect public security which
is the regular reason for Rabbinical decrees.
CLAIM
"It is forbidden to disclose the secrets of
the law. He who would do it would be as guilty as though he destroyed the
whole world." - Jektut Chadasz, 171, 3.
RESPONSE
I see nothing wrong with this statement
although the source again does not make sense. On the contrary, look at
this anti-Semite he is misunderstanding the Jewish sources and using them
as a warrant for genocide.
The laws of the Torah were given to the
Jews, we are proud of our heritage and do not wish anyone to learn it.
It is not true that anyone transgressing this prohibition is to be punished
(it does not say so anywhere). Until 35 years ago Chinese martial arts
were kept by the Masters as a secret, they would not teach it to a white
man, what is wrong with this? I wonder if they condemn them also for it?
(They are most probably scared.) E.S.
CLAIM
"Every goy who studies the Talmud and every
Jew who who helps him in it, ought to die." - Sanhedryn, 59a, Aboda Zora
8-6, Szagiga
RESPONSE
The quote from Sanhedrin does say that
a gentile may not study torah but the other sources do not exist. There
is no practical death penalty for this offense the penalty stated is only
a term of speech stated in order to indicate the severity of the sin. A
gentile may study the laws regarding the 7 Noahide commandments as stated
ibid. and he will merit great everlasting bliss for this, however he may
not study the laws of Judaism. The basic reason for prohibiting the study
of Torah is because it is a special covenant between G-d and his chosen
people, any one who is not affiliated with the chosen people is regarded
a thief. Rashi ibid. E.S.
CLAIM
"To communicate anything to a goy about our
religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if they
knew what we teach about them they would kill us openly." - Libbre David
37.
RESPONSE
Total balderdash, there is no such statement
at all, and there is no such book. E.S.
CLAIM
"If a Jew be called upon to explain any part
of the rabbinic books, he ought to give only a false explanation. Who ever
will violate this order shall be put to death." Libbre David 37.
RESPONSE
As explained above, there is no such book.
CLAIM
"A Jew should and must make a false oath when
the goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."-Szaaloth-Utszabot,
The Book of Jore Dia 17.
RESPONSE
This is a forgery. The word "Sehelot Uteshubot"
means Talmudic responsa, there is no such book at all. Besides, there is
nothing in the Torah which may cause disturbance to a gentile. What can
have been written is that one may take an oath that there is nothing against
gentiles in Jewish law as it is a true oath. E.S.
CLAIM
"The Jews are human beings , but the nations
of the world are not human beings but beasts."-Baba Mecia 114, 6 [i.e.:
114b].
RESPONSE
Apparently a deliberate mistranslation.
The passage deals with the technical rules of corpse-impurity which, according
to the author of this text, apply to Jews and not to gentiles. In this
connection Ezekiel 34:31 is cited: "And ye My sheep [referring to Israel],
the sheep of My pasture, are _men [Hebrew: "adam"]_, and I am your God,
saith the Lord God." From a careful midrashic reading of this Biblical
verse, Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai deduced "Only "ye" [i.e., Israel, not other
nations] are designated "adam," in the sense that only Jewish corpses and
graves generate impurity according to Numbers 19:14: "This is the law:
when a _man ['adam']_ dieth in a tent, every one that cometh into the tent...shall
be unclean seven days..." The passage is legal and exegetical, not theological.
If anything, it seems to put Jews on a lower footing than non-Jews. Typically,
the words "but beasts" were added on by whoever put this list together.
They do not appear in the original. From Usenet message: catamont-2305980759150001@ts003d13.den-co.concentric.net
CLAIM
"When the Messiah comes every Jew will have
2800 slaves." - Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D.
RESPONSE
There is no such source. However, we find
a talmudic statement relating to the spiritual afterlife allegorically
that there will be no need for toil in the spiritual world, as one who
has a large amount of slaves does not need to toil, thus so to speak angels
will execute our errands. Another Talmudic statement which might have incited
the ignoramus is that in the messianic times every Jew will have 2800 disciples
from among the nations who will wish to learn from him the ways of the
Torah. E.S.
CLAIM
"Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form
so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently
an animal in human form, and commanded to serve the Jew day and night."
- Midrasch Talpioth, p225-L.
RESPONSE
I was unable to check this reference in
my extensive Judaica library. The book "Midrash Talpiyyot" is appparently
an obscure eighteenth-century Kabbalistic work that is little known and
carries no authority whatsoever. Even if the citation were correct (which
seems doubtful in light of the other examples on this list, and the fact
that Jews never employ the designation "Jehovah"), it is hard to imagine
what could be proven from it about Judaism or the Talmud. From Usenet message
catamont-2305980759150001@ts003d13.den-co.concentric.net
CLAIM
As soon as the King Messiah will declare himself,
He will destroy Rome and make a wilderness of it. Thorns and weeds will
grow in the Pope's palace.
Then He will start a merciless war on non-Jews
and will overpower them. He will slay them in masses, kill their kings
and lay waste the whole Roman land. He will say to the Jews: 'I am the
King Messiah for whom you have been waiting. Take the Silver and Gold from
the Goyim.'" - Josiah 60, 6 Rabbi Abarbanel to Daniel 7, 13.
RESPONSE
The Abarbanel (circa 1440 - 1510) does
not relate to Rome rather than to the oppressors of the Jewish nation who
will wish to conduct a genocide before the revelation of the Messiah. E.S.
CLAIM
"A Gentile girl who is three years old can
be violated."- Aboda Sarah 37a.
RESPONSE
Apparently a deliberate misquote. The observation
is a technical, physiological one, regarding the impurities related to
genital "flows" as outlined in Leviticus chapter 15. The Talmudic source
argues that since the tearing of the hymen at that age would be permanent
(as distinct from a younger girl whose hymen the rabbis believed would
grow back), she is considered to have reached a state of physical development
that her discharges would be included under the category of impure flows
according to the Biblical purity laws. (The same rule, by the way, would
apply to a Jewish girl). This is of course not a permission to "violate"
the girl, merely a legal definition of her age.

CLAIM
"A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish
girl." - Gad. Shas. 2:2.
RESPONSE
No such source at all, on the contrary
any sexual contact with a gentile woman is strictly prohibited even without
marriage, see Talmud Sanhedrin 82a and Avoda Zarah 36b E.S.
CLAIM
"A Jew may do to a non-Jewess what he can
do. He may treat her as he treats a piece of meat." - Hadarine, 20, B;
Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348.
RESPONSE
This is of course poppycock, there is no
such source called Hadarine, while the chapter in Choshen Mishpat 348:2
states clearly that one may not steal from a gentile exactly as one may
not steal from a fellow Jew. E.S.
CLAIM
"A Jew may misuse the non-Jewess in her state
of unbelief." - Maimonides, Jak. Chasaka 2:2.
RESPONSE
This too is a lie, there is no book in
the Rambam called Jak. and the word Chazaka - legal claim - has nothing
to do with this
CLAIM
"If a goy kills a goy or a Jew he is responsible;
but if a Jew kills a goy he is not responsible." - Tosefta. Aboda Zara
8, 5.
RESPONSE
The Tosefta relates to the death penalty
carried out by a gentile court, when the murderer is a Jew he has to be
killed by a Jewish court. Besides, the usual famous answer to this question
is that all this relates to the ancient pagan worshipers and not to present
day gentiles. E.S.
CLAIM
"It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator
everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."- Schulchan
Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388.
RESPONSE
What on earth is wrong with this? A denunciator
is one who will cause a fellow Jew harm that he does not deserve. The gentiles
have already forgotten but less that a century ago if a Jew was caught
breaking a trivial law it would caused an atrocity and/or massacre throughout
the country, this is the reason for the prohibition of denouncing. Besides
this law is not accepted practically see Remah ibid 10. E.S.
CLAIM
"Thou shalt not do injury to thy neighbor
(Bible), but it is not said, 'Thou shalt not do injury to a goy.' " - Mishna
Sanhedryn 57.
RESPONSE
This is a lie, one may not injure a gentile,
there is not such verse in the Bible and no such statement in the Talmud
or Mishna. (There is no Mishna in (There is no Mishna in Sanhedrin 57.)
CLAIM
"When you go to war do not go as the first,
but as the last, so that you may return as the first. Five things has Kanaan
recommended to his sons: 'Love each other, love the robbery, hate your
masters and never tell the truth.' " - Pesachim F. 113B
RESPONSE
This has nothing to do with Jews, Kanaan
was a gentile he was the son of Noah, these are truly the ways of the anti-Semitic
gentiles as we can perceive in history. E.S.
CLAIM
"A Jew is permitted to rape, cheat and perjure
himself; but he must take care that he is not found out, so that Israel
may not suffer." - Schulchan Aruch, Jore Dia.
RESPONSE
This too is a lie, there is no such statement
and no such source. E.S.
CLAIM
"A Jew may rob a goy-that is, he may cheat
him in a bill, if unlikely to be perceived by him." - Schulchan Aruch,
Choszen Hamiszpat 348.
RESPONSE
This law regards something which according
to Jewish law is considered cheating but is permitted according to gentile
law. A Jew does not have to act towards a gentile in a different way than
the gentile legislature requires from him. Besides, practically the ruling
is to prohibit this too. E.S.
CLAIM
"If a goy wants a Jew to stand witness against
a Jew in a court of law, and if the Jew could give fair evidence, he is
forbidden to do it; but if a Jew wants a Jew to be a witness in a similar
case against a goy, he may do it." - Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat
28, Art. 3 and 4
RESPONSE
This law was also wrongly understood. According
to Jewish law one may not charge a person to pay money in a law court because
of the testimony of one witness, but two witnesses are needed. So the Shulchan
Aruch states that in a place were the gentile legislature will charge someone
to pay because of the testimony of one witness, a Jew may not go and be
the witness to charge a fellow Jew as two witnesses are needed. But to
charge a gentile he is permitted to attend the court as we are dealing
with a scenario were gentiles agree to the concept of accepting one witness
alone. E.S.
CLAIM
"Those who do not confess the Torah and the
Prophets must be killed. Who has the power to kill them, let them kill
them openly with the sword. If not, let them use artifices, till they are
done away with." - Schulchan Aruch. Choszen Hamiszapt 425.5.
RESPONSE
This law applies to killing Jewish heretics,
the following line in this passage is that this law does not apply to anyone
non Jewish and it is forbidden to harm any gentile, on no account at all.
The Jewish heretics ibid. are only people which are a potential cause of
harm and trouble to the nation. E.S.
CLAIM
"All property of other nations belongs to
the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without
any scruples. An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality
towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable
to himself or to Jews in general." - Schulchan Aruch. Choszen Hamiszpat
348.
RESPONSE
This is a famous lie. On the contrary,
in the source cited the only article dealing with gentiles is #2 which
states clearly that there is no difference between the prohibition of stealing
from a Jew or from a non-Jew, both are strictly prohibited. E.S.
CLAIM
"Should a Jew inform the goyish authorities
that another Jew has much money, and the other will suffer a loss through
it, he must give him remuneration." - Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat
388.
RESPONSE
The Halacha [Jewish Law -DSM] is dealing
with envious gentile tyrants who always loved stealing Jewish money and
used to find pretexts for leveling new taxes on certain rich Jews. In such
a case if a fellow Jew went and notified the "authorities" about someone
that he is rich, and consequently this rich person was wronged by the tyrant
he will have to pay his losses. E.S.
CLAIM
"How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy
is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or a
Jew. But a Jew is not forbidden to do all this to a goy."- Tosefta, Abda
Zara VIII, 5.
RESPONSE
This Tosefta is dealing with the laws which
have to be enforced by gentile law courts according to the Noahide law.
It only says that a Jew has can't be judged and punished by a gentile court
but by a Jewish court even though his offense was against a gentile. E.S.
[The Tosefot comprise of commentary on the Talmud made by various Rabbis after the completion of the Talmud and after the time of Rashi. "Tosefot" simply means "additions" or "supplements". The Tosefot use the same methods of dialectical debate and style as does the Talmud. David S. Maddison
CLAIM
"On the house of the goy one looks as on the
fold of cattle." - Tosefta, Erubin VII, 1.
RESPONSE
The true source is ibid. V 15. An Eiruv
is a imaginary wall set by a certain procedure, permitting one to carry
on Shabbat in the places included in the Eiruv. A barn. cattle fold, storage
house etc. have a certain Halachic status [Halacha = Jewish Law DSM] regarding
carrying on Shabbat as they are not completely included in the Eiruv. A
"fold of cattle" is a Halachic term used for all houses in the district
not inhabited or inhabited by anyone who did not take part in the Eiruv
Jew or non-Jew alike, which have not participated in the Eiruv and have
the Halachic status termed as "A cattle fold". E.S.
[Jews are not permitted to carry things outside of their homes on the Sabbath. An "eruv" or "eiruv" can be constructed to effectively extend the limits of the home to include other areas.] David S. Maddison
CLAIM
"All vows, oaths, promises, engagements, and
swearing, which, beginning this very day or reconciliation till the next
day of reconciliation, we intend to vow, promise, swear, and bind ourselves
to fulfill, we repent beforehand; let them be illegalized, acquitted, annihilated,
abolished, valueless, unimportant. Our vows shall be no vows, and our oaths
no oaths at all." - Schulchan Aruch, Edit. I, 136. (The Jewish Kol Nidre
["All Vows"] Oath has been set to a morbid Jewish music, and is often heard
on the radio.
It is sung as a chant at each Yom Kippur [Jewish
New Year] service [September17].)
RESPONSE
This too is a famous misunderstanding as
it states clearly that the annulment of vows applies only to personal vows
i.e. "I will not eat apples any more" etc. The Halacha (ibid.) states explicitly
that they do not apply to business vows, vows in a court of law, or any
other vow concerning a second or third party. E.S.
Apart from the above, a further error of fact is that Yom Kippur is not the Jewish New Year, nor does it occur on the same date every year. David S. Maddison
CLAIM
"Everything a Jew needs for his church ritual
no goy (gentile DSM) is permitted to manufacture, but only a Jew, because
this must be manufactured by human beings and the Jew is not permitted
to consider the goyim as human beings." - Schulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim
14, 20, 32, 33, 39. Talmud Jebomoth 61.
RESPONSE
These sources relate to the law stating
that anyone who is not obligated to keep a certain religious law may not
produce the ritual article, i.e. a Jewish woman or Jewish child may not
spin Tzitzis, or write Teffillin etc. this includes gentiles in most circumstances
as they are not obligated to perform these deeds. Nevertheless, this law
applies only to certain ritual articles not too the vast majority which
may be manufactured by gentiles, i.e. a gentile may sew the Tzitzis garment.
A gentile may even spin Tzitzith thread if a Jew is present to verify that
the gentile had in mind to spin it for the ritual use see ibid, chapter
11. A gentile may build a synagogue, exterior and interior, he may build
the Holy Ark, the Bima, the Torah scoll dressing etc. E.S.
CLAIM
"A Jewish mid-wife is not only permitted but
she is compelled to help a Jewish mother on Saturday (Jewish Sabbath) and
when so doing to do anything which otherwise would desecrate the Saturday.
But it is forbidden to help a non-Jewish woman even if it should be possible
to help her without desecrating the Saturday, because she is to be considered
only as an animal."- Schulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 330.
RESPONSE
On the contrary it states clearly that
the Shabbat may be desecrated to help a non-Jewish woman giving birth.
E.S.
CLAIM
"At the time of the Cholhamoed the transaction
of any kind of business is forbidden. But it is permitted to cheat a goy,
because cheating of goyim at any time pleases the Lord."- Chulchan Aruch,
Orach Chaim 539.
RESPONSE
Nothing of the sort is found there. The
passage deals with various types of business transactions that are forbidden
or permissible on the "intermediate days" of festivals. Some of the references
are to transactions with gentiles (who are not bound by the prohibitions);
e.g., it is permitted to collect a debt from a gentile on the half-holidays.
Nowhere does it say anything about cheating.
From Usenet message catamont-2305980759150001@ts003d13.den-co.concentric.net
CLAIM
"The Jews are strictly forbidden to cheat
their brothers and it is considered cheating already if one-sixth of the
value has been taken away from him. Whoever has cheated his brother has
to return it to him. Naturally all that only holds the Jew, to cheat a
goy he is permitted and he is not permitted to return to him what he cheated
him out of. Because the Bible says: 'Thou shalt not cheat thy next brother,'
but the non-Jews are not our brethren, but as mentioned above, worse than
dogs." - Aruch Choszen Hamiszpat 227.
RESPONSE
There is no such statement in the Bible
or anywhere else. A Jew may not cheat a non-Jew exactly as he may not cheat
a Jew see ibid. 348:2. E.S.
