17.7.16

Torah with Math and Physics and Aristotle's Metaphysics is my approach in a nutshell. That means simply to get through the basic Oral and Written Law word for word, plus math up to Algebraic Topology and Abstract Algebra and string theory plus the actual sets of books, The Metaphysics  of Aristotle. [Oral Law is the two Talmuds,  Sifra Sifri the Rambam with Rav Shach's Avi Ezri]
Say the words דרך גרסה in the way of just saying them and going onwith no repeats.

I would like to defend this approach but for right now I thought it is enough to at least state it in a simple straightforward way.

Source for Math Physics Metaphysics is Rambam (Maimonides), and  the Musar book, Obligations of the Heart.
Source for just saying the words and going on in the Talmud לעולם לגרס אינש אע''ג דמשכח ואע''ג דלא ידע מאי קאמר.

(The Lithuanian yeshiva world has a lot of this right, but the nepotism hurts it. It is  purported to be a meritocracy. But that seems to be not the case. Mostly the perks are  for family members only. The fact that the State gives money to yeshivas which are nothing more than private club houses with no learning Torah hurts the entire system.]

Feminism is hatred of Western Civilization [Comment on Dalrock]


  1. link
  2. The entire basis of Feminism is hatred of Western Civilization, and in the context of Feminist ideology, hatred of White men. Don’t believe me? Take it from arch-Feminist/Lesbian/Jewess Susan Sontag,
    “If America is the culmination of Western white civilization, as everyone from the Left to the Right declares, then there must be something terribly wrong with Western white civilization.[…]
    […]The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, Balanchine ballets, et al., don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself. What the Mongol hordes threaten is far less frightening than the damage that Western “Faustian” man, with his idealism, his magnificent art, his sense of intellectual adventure, his world-devouring energies for conquest, has already done, and further threatens to do….”
    From Susan Sontag’s collection of essays, ‘Styles of Radical Will’, 1969. Link:https://books.google.com/books?
    IMO, this is the veritable ‘Rosetta Stone’ of the Left. Feminism, Marxism, Post-Colonialism, LGBTnXYZ, Black Nationalism, MultiCulturalism, et al. All of it is about a visceral, obsessive hatred of the Christian, Western Civilization that White men have created over the past 3000+ years.




To The Other Jim: Not all Jewish people agree with those views. She might be Jewish but feminism is not the view of the Law of Moses. Not everything Jewish people do is in accord with the law of God. She is clearly an enemy of Western civilization but that is not representative of all Jewish people nor of the Torah

Concerning Justice Ginsberg:
I am very unhappy with liberals and see them as very destructive towards Torah values and objective morality. The fact that she is Jewish does not help in the slightest since her view oppose the Law of Moses. In the Torah you will find that Jewish people do not get a pass when they transgress the law of God.


Political correctness and secular humanism

Nice comment on Kiev Post: Political correctness and multi-culturalism (as well as repression of Christianity while coddling of Islam, secular humanism, etc.) is to blame not only for the terrorist incidents but for the continuously unfolding suicide of the West.

A good deal of American technology comes from Jews.

I see many people think that American technology was created only by non Jewish people.

A good deal of American technology comes from Jews. The Manhattan Project was like the roll call of a yeshiva. My Dad was the head scientist of a lab that created the first night vision  apparatus and made one of the cameras for the U-2 and satellite communication by lasers and other projects. I admit many other people helped, but there was a significant Jewish contribution to all aspects of American technology.
comment i saw on Unz:
The recent atrocities, both in the U.S. and in France,
show us that young men are out of control. The
usual civilizing agents – religion, education,
early marriage, military service (let alone family) -
no longer seem effective. Rejection of early marriage,
while producing many feral women, has been even
worse for men who too often seem to have
nothing better to do with their lives than squandering
their energy on video games and masturbation to online
porn. If Trump wins, I hope he gives serious consideration
to reintroducing some sort of a rite of passage for
18-20 year olds. Young people need to challenged hard at
that age to make a successful transition into manhood
and womanhood
The paradigm of the West  is feminism and leftism. It is not the same as a chosen worldview. It is the default setting, the colored glasses that everything is seen through. The best advice I have is to learn the Law of Moses in depth until the basic approach is internalized..  
Torah [The Five Books of Moses] and Judaism are really not the same thing. But neither is Christianity that same as the Five Books of Moses.

The Law of Moses does need a Background and explanation  but neither Judaism nor Christianity provide  accurate believable background.

Judaism as defined by what Jews do and believe could just as well be defined as belief in the Golden Calf since that was what the vast majority of Jews believed at Mount Sinai.

Nor is it believable that the Law of Moses is just a shadow of things to come. Any honest reading of it will show it was meant to be obeyed and observed for all time.

 Clarity about these things came to me in stages. You could say learning the Talmud was helpful because of the rigorous examination and attempt to understand the Law of Moses. Mainly in the beginning of Yevamot and Nedarim and also in the Shar Yashuv Yeshiva it became clear to me that the Law of Moses is rigorous and has a well defined meaning that is objective and not dependent on who is reading it.



A real defining moment of clarity came to me in Geula [a neighborhood in Jerusalem] when a beggar woman was reading the book of Deuteronomy all the time. I asked her about this. She told me Moses came to her in a dream and asked her "What flaw did people find in my book that they feel it is unnecessary and irrelevant? Why do they not read it and keep it?" [I don't remember her exact words. But it was something along the lines of Moses asking her why people ignored the Law of Moses. This refers to all the Five Books but she was concentrating of Devarim Deuteronomy for some reason]



Of course, the Law is used as a cover up for worship of idols. Worship of people is the common way this is done. You have con men, supposed saints, that make a  show of keeping Torah and then people worship them. This is more insidious than open idolatry. I will simply not walk into an religious synagogue because it is a place of idolatry. But if there was an authentic Litvak yeshiva (orBeit Midrash) in my area, I would run to be there as much as possible.
