CHANUKAH

The questions a real Jew should be asking during the Chanukah are :

1.Why is their only one true Jew in the entire land of Israel loyal and devoted to Et-ha ELOHIM and His Torah, in the land of Israel???

And

2. Where are the other millions who call themselves Jews????or who claimed to be Jews by birth?????.

The answer is None can be Jewish by birth alone, None. Obedience to the Torah as commanded by ELOHIM(God) is the only criteria to anyone to become Jewish.

Avraham was called a Jew, because he was a bearer of the Torah Laws. Bereshit(Genesis) 14 vs 13

Therefore contrary to the tradition of giving gifts and celebrations, lighting candles during the 8 days of Chanukah,

Why don't you ask yourself; Am I a bearer of the Torah, Vayikra(Leviticus) 18 vs 1-5 or just an hypocrite that blasphemed God name daily by calling myself and people like me a Jew.

Yirmeyah(Jeremiah) 11 vs 1-5
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim(Jerusalem);
3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, Adonay.

Repentance:
For this celebration a true Jew a Cohen and his five sons stood up against the world powers for HASHEM; Torah, In the face of prosecution why?. And where were the rabbis? The congregations? The synagogues? Those who call themselves " Torah scholars"? The communities?... where were they????? Where were the tens of millions who call themselves Jews? Can a soldier be war veteran without ever going to war????

Let us all be awaken from our drunkenness into TRUE repentance.....Tamim tihyeh Im Adonay Eloheycha Devarim(Deuteronomy) 18 vs 13. HASHEM returns is nearer than our next breath. And remember this statement...A Jew, is a Jew Only because he/she is a the bearer of HASHEM Torah and nothing else. Shemot(Exodus) 19 vs. 5-6, Yirmeyah(Jeremiah) 11 vs 1-6.

Understanding and outcome of knowledge of ELOHIM(God):
Your mother doesn't make you Jewish, obedience to Adonay Haruchot Lechol-Basar Torah is the Only way to becoming Jewish.

Whoever is for HASHEM, join me----------. Shemot(Exodus) 32 vs 26

◈ Now Historic.

In 167 BCE the Syrian-Greek emperor, Antiochus, set out to destroy Judaism by imposing a ban on three mitzvot: The Shabbath, The Sanctifying of the New Month (establishing the first day of the month by testimony of witnesses who saw the new moon) and Brit Mila (entering the Covenant of Abraham through Torah-ordained circumcision). The Shabbath signifies that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe and that His Torah is the blueprint of creation, meaning and values.

Sanctifying the New Month determines the day of the Jewish holidays. Without it there would be chaos. For example, if Sukkot is the 15th of Tishrei, the day it occurs depends upon which day is declared the first of Tishrei. Brit Mila is a sign of our special covenant with the Almighty. All three maintain our cultural integrity and were thus threats to the Greek culture.

☞ The true Jew

Mattityahu and his 5 sons, known as the Maccabees, started a revolt and three years later succeeded in evicting the oppressors. The victory was a miracle - on the scale of Israel defeating the combined super-powers of today. Having regained control of the Temple in Jerusalem, they wanted to immediately rededicated it. They needed ritually pure olive oil to re-light the Menorah in the Temple. Only a single cruise of oil was found; enough to burn for just one day. However, they needed oil for eight days until new ritually pure olive oil could be produced. A miracle occurred and the oil burned for eight days.

Let us use this opportunity instead of celebrations and buying/giving gifts let us do a true shuvah(repentance) and just may be HASHEM will save us in His Great Mercies from ourselves.
