Special Mission

Our friend Logan is a college student in New Jersey.

Hello Reb Lazer,

I wanted to tell you something that happened to me a couple weeks ago. I go to a secular college in New Jersey and there is very little Jewish presence on campus. I am the only one I've ever seen on campus with a kippa and tzitzit. In short, I stick out like a sore thumb. This has never resulted in any altercations or conflicts (B'Chasdei Hashem!) which initially was a concern considering how many people identifying as Palestinian are present on campus. In fact, it's kept me quite conscientious of how a Jew should act in public for fear of potentially creating a defamation of Hashem's Name.

In any case, as I was leaving my final exam a couple weeks ago, a non-Jewish man in my class walked over to me and said something very moving. He called me aside and said:

"You know. It's really great to have a Jew in my class. I don't know what the problem with the rest of the world is with Jews. I was somewhere where there was a lot of conflict between non-Jews and Jews once and I told them, 'Why are you hating on the Jews? Don't you know that we're blessed through them?' I'm a Christian but I know that Judiasm is the true source of everything. People need to realize that."

I thanked him and said that I wish more people could have such positive feelings about Jews. Reb Lazer, this man came to me unsolicited to remind me of a special mission I have in the world as a Jew: to be a conduit of Hashem's loving grace on the world. While the Yetzer was trying to viciously attacking my mind with worry about final exams here was a messenger of Hashem encouraging me in such an unlikely place.

Just thought you might like that story. Warmly, Logan Singman, W. Orange, NJ

It gets even more interesting when 'non-jews' honestly search their 'jewish roots',history(preferably from Jewish sources0,linguistics and biblical sources(in HEBREW -not English),one discovers the following9as I did):

1)3 groups in 'Israel' post 1 CE: Chumran Chassidim Tzedokim,Pseudo-Tzedokim,Prushim
2)A pro-Torah Pharisee Rabbi named "Ribi Yehoshua" executed on a charge of 'sedition against Rome' in 30 CE
3)His brother Yaacov Hatzaddik took over,but is executed by a Pseudo-Tzedokim Kohen in 62 CE
4)34 CE =Hellenized Jews/Evionim flee to Pella from persecution by the P'rushim and Netzarim
5)70 ce
6)135 CE -xty + Netzarim kicked out of Yerushaliyim

7)NT from corrupted storied passed down by "hellenized Jews(today's 'reform jews').
8)Netzarim live alongside the P'rushim(Rome?),ONLY accept the Tanakh and thei own Hebrew mattitiyahu,reject the Greek NT,consider Saul an apostate,reject his writings,are eraidcated by Constantine by 333 CE

details here: http://www.netzarim.co.il

in short: Christianity and Islam are assumed faiths and don't stand the test of Torah,Tanakh,Linguistics,or anything else and there is NO historical connection between the hellenist/roamn counterfeit man-g_d image J-e-s-u-s created by the church and the REAL rabbi from Natzrat "Ribi Yehoshua",or "Yeshua" -a man btw!

To every Jew : Keep the faith,stand tall for Torah,we're coming!
