BTW, I believe it is said that when the Mashiach does come and the existing holidays and fasts will be superceded by the celebrations of those days to come, only the "Fast of Esther" and Purim will remain as eternal testimony to the history of that period. Perhaps, exactly because of Mr. Greenfield's understanding of the centrality of the events in the history of the Jewish People. As far as the New Age Jew (both in the Diaspora and here in Israel) is concerned: In the past 29 years of my living in Israel, we have heard accusations made of "messianic" settlers and right wingers. This is one of the recurring demagogic claims of those who are against our living here as a fulfillment of the ancient, Divine promise and their commitment to living in the whole of the Land of Israel and building it. Mr. Greenfield, in the Purim spirit of "nahafokh hu" , turns this on its head, correctly, and shows that the New Age Jew and the left wing Zionist factions here are the real "messianics". They claim that human nature and the world have changed (for the better) and that history has ended as we know it. (The same demagoguery was used by the Soviet propaganda campaign, in those very words: "The new [socialist] man" was their name for it.) Purim comes along, as Mr. Greenfield so bitingly writes, and shows that to be nonsense, and dangerous nonsense at that. May we all merit to see the ultimate Deliverance of the Jewish People in their land and the real peace that will come with it to the world.A Nobody in Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828825372774050895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-53457515546990099882014-03-18T16:04:16.449-04:002014-03-18T16:04:16.449-04:00I am continuously appalled as I read the news and ...I am continuously appalled as I read the news and it seems to me that the continuing reports of anti-Semitism go virtuously unnoticed by the so called “mainstream media”. Ah, but I seem to have lived too long, this world has gone to such extremes as to seem unrecognizable in it’s incivility to me!! Is it too late for this country – the world to WAKE UP before it is too late??!! The evil that is Islam has so slowly crept into our society that it is truly frightening!! Yet I see NO true leader in sight . . . and I am truly afraid for our children. Daniel – I enjoy your writings . . . if only they can awaken all those who have the power to actually DO something!!!

Let me recount for you a short interchange I had with a friend (with his permission) via instant message this morning. You do not have to let this post, but I wanted to let you know that as long as you are willing to fight, then I was wrong to doubt you.<br /><br />Me: Here's a post that high chances you'll approve: http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-ages-of-purim.html<br /> Sent at 7:46 AM on Sunday<br /> <br />Me: "New Age Jews" have been around from the beginning.<br /><br />Scoffer: Indeed. I like the telling of the story, and the perspective<br />it certainly isn't put forth like that in the "Modern" world.<br /><br />me: I'd love to think that the last words of this comment I left for Greenfield helped prompt this post "Someone like Daniel here may understand this instinctively, but for any number of reasons unknown to us has not addressed it directly. As a young boy at Purim, he probably cranked his grogger energetically. Today: not so much. "<br />LOL<br /><br />I left that missive for him while commending another commenter on Feb 20 of this year.<br /><br />However, it turns out this is a recycled post from Feb 2013 (though it carries the March 14 2104 date and does not say so), so my previous comment maybe wasn't so inspiring as I thought. <b>I'm sorry Daniel for my own scoffing.</b><br /><br />Scoffer: "Cranked his grogger" still sounds like a euphemism for masturbation<br /><br />me: The boys who do it are much too young -- at least in my time;<br />and it is literally what is done with the noise maker<br />So get your mind out of the gutter, just this once. LOL<br /><br />me: OTOH, if what is taught the young boys that all one has to do is make a lot of noise, then indeed it IS as you suggest. So, there is room for your crack too. LOL<br /><br />It has got to be more than that.<br /><br />Scoffer: Never forget, I'm always right, even when I'm wrong<br /><br />me: LOL<br /><br />Scoffer: lol<br /><br />me: indeed, yours is indeed a useful insight: "that's ok for now boys; but there comes a time when the name you so fervently blot out today must be done for real."<br />There's your saving grace.<br /><br />We have to always be prepared not to just to make noise but to fight back, risking our own blood as we shed those of our enemies.

Or why anti-Semitic fringe groups like CATC, white supremacy Bible re-writers, and self-hating secular Jews will never awaken - because what they feel is more important than what G-d has said.<br /> <br />To fully understand what Daniel said is to love the Jews and Israel.<br /><br /><br />Alphamail<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-67705922253684653552013-02-26T16:11:27.231-05:002013-02-26T16:11:27.231-05:00This is absolutely succinct and revelatory but why...This is absolutely succinct and revelatory but why is it only so to the people and not obvious to Western Governments around the world.
