Greco-Roman snakes in Jerusalem
Sadly for us, our whole country is crawling with them…
Here’s the continuation of the Rav’s shiur, that we started HERE.
Then meet me at the bottom for a couple more interesting intersections with ‘Greco-Roman snakes in Jerusalem’.
==
So the RAMBAN asks, what, the whole city deserved the death penalty?!
Yes, they [i.e. The people of Shechem] should have freed Dina themselves. Why did they need to wait until Shimon and Levi freed her – you free her!
But the RAMBAN says, who says that if they hadn’t have freed her…
The RAMBAM says in verse 9, halacha 14, if you didn’t free Dina – so you deserve the death penalty. Free her! You all saw what happened, it was done in broad daylight.
==
Now, the Hamas kidnapped 230 people.
There are 138 left, they need to be freed today. It’s impossible to continue on like this.
Everyone is obligated to travel to Gaza today, I don’t care, to free the captives. This is the first thing.
We learnt this from Parshat Vayeshev and Parshat Vayeshlach, that the first thing is to free Dina, to free the hostages.
Yosef was also kidnapped.
Yosef was also taken captive.

[Skipping some]
The smartphones, the i-Phones, the Xiomis, this is what is bringing the war, it’s bringing all the disaster right now.
That there are 1,500 murdered, and every day another ten are killed.
The war should have already been over a long time ago. It’s not finishing because the Xiomi – today, everyone is holding a Xiomi.
And already across the whole of Israel, they signed on this that its forbidden to have one. You see mamash naked people on it, mamash, it’s the biggest perversions.
==
Like the Greek culture, where naked people play soccer, and wrestle, and everyone just watches.
This is their whole purpose, to cause a person to sin, and to burn up his mind, so that he’ll never get out of gehinnom forever.
To turn the whole of planet earth into a swamp, into a place of debauchery.
Which was the objective of the Greeks, those people who have ‘culture’, so-called.
This is no ‘culture’!! It’s simply just about being snakes.
==
A person becomes transformed into a snake.
Slowly, slowly, he becomes transformed, if he has a smartphone, or has a Xiomi,or has an i-Phone.
He turns into a snake.
Because he’s [born] half-snake, and half-human being. The body of a person is the snake – ketonet or (a garment of skin)[1] – this is the snake.
The whole ketonet or – this is the snake.
==
Hashem dressed him [Adam HaRishon] in a ketonet or – this is the garment of the snake.
The snake shed its skin, cried out from one end of the world to the other, and then Hashem clothed the man in the body of the snake.
And each person is born with the body of ‘the snake’.
For the inclination of a man’s heart is evil from his youth.
A person goes looking for lewdness, goes looking for debauchery, goes looking for i-Phones, smartphones.
==
Now, the Xiomi is the new gadget, this is the new ‘find’.
It’s pretending to be a ‘kosher phone’, but really it has all the perversions – even more than the smartphones, and more than the i-Phones. The biggest perversions of all, that mean a person won’t get out of gehinnom ever.
Even a person who learns Torah….
He learns Torah with a smartphone in his pocket, or an i-Phone in his pocket, or a Xiomi in his pocket….He deserves the death sentence, at that very moment….
==
Suddenly, his kid is ill.
Suddenly, his wife is sick, and he doesn’t understand why. His father is ill, he doesn’t understand why.
Because, if a person goes along with an i-Phone, so then his father will become ill, because every father feels what is happening with his son.
==
The father needs to bring such kedusha (holiness) into the home, that his son won’t want to touch a smartphone.
He won’t want to even touch an i-Phone, and not a Xiomi – the child will be scared to even touch it, because the child will be abel to feel that it’s mamash tumah (a source of spiritual defilement), [akin to] excrement.
Just like he doesn’t touch excrement, and he doesn’t ‘swipe’ it all around, he doesn’t go to the toilet and smear the excrement all over his body – if a person has a Xiomi, or a smartphone, or an i-Phone, it’s like smearing excrement all over himself.
He’s totally covered in filth.
He can’t learn, he can’t pray, he can’t do anything.
He doesn’t get any life-force from anything.
==
So, we entered into the subject of Hannukah here.
The whole of Hannukah is about defeating the Greek culture – this is the whole of Hannukah!
This is the whole war of Yehuda – to defeat the culture of Greece, the stadium that was located in Jerusalem.
This was an Olympic stadium. This is where all the international games were held – it was all happening here!
Every competition, they held it in Jerusalem.
The Romans came here, and the Greeks – everyone!
To come and play in Jerusalem.

Ad kan, from the Rav.
I think… I really needed to read this today.
Thank you.
Sing and dance for the pope but throw precious Jewish children under the bus? It’s nauseating.
There were people in America saying the same thing about the so-called “Satanic Panic” there too in the 80s and 90s. Just a bunch of hysterical children and parents. Early and most prominent was the McMartin Preschool case, where the children all described an elaborate tunnel system, which the police, prosecutors, and judges all denied existed. No tunnels, therefore, no case.
Guess what? Decades later, the FBI released a document dump of an unrelated case that corroborated the existence of those tunnels. It was all real.

“If the name McMartin Preschool rings a bell, it’s because the school gained infamy as ground zero for the child abuse case that kicked off the so-called Satanic Panic.
360 children were alleged to have been abused at McMartin daycare. Many of the children claimed that they’d been subjected to sexual and satanic ritual abuse in a system of tunnels under the school. When investigators declared that excavations turned up nothing, the claim of secret tunnels became a byword for spurious ritual abuse claims.
Now, after a generation of ridicule, the FBI has confirmed the tunnels’ existence, vindicating the children’s testimony.”
