I am starting to think that things are STARTING to move….

I’ve been offline writing up a few things, this being one of them.

I’m going offline again in a minute, once this is posted up, but it really seems to me that things are starting to move – i.e. the truth is starting to resound in the Camp of Israel.

And what’s the truth?

That we’re being led by a bunch of poisonous toads that descend from a bunch of poisonous toads, and who have kept the leadership of the Jewish people firmly stitched-up between them from centuries….

That’s the truth.

====

The last three days, I printed out my blogs from the last few weeks on the subject of ‘real Jewish history’ and went through them again.

I caught a few more interesting connections, and a few more obvious things ‘hidden in plain view’.

Like, to give just one example, NATAN NETA NOTKIN, the wealthy Russian maskil with tight links to the Berlin Haskala, is meant to be the maternal grandfather of BENJAMIN RIVLIN of SHKLOV.

He’s the guy who was hanging out in JOSHUA ZEITLIN’s mansion doing ‘science experiments’ with BARUCH SHICK, and apparently persecuting SHNEUR ZALMAN 24/7 – before most of his kids married Chabad royalty or became ‘Chabad royalty’ themselves….

Go figure.

==

All these Rivlins who took over Eretz Yisrael politically and religiously, mamash, are his direct descendants.

And he was a big maskil with tight links to the Frankist-masons of Berlin, who taught all his children European languages and secular studies, and was very into ‘Jews being productive workers’, and tried to set up jewish ‘agricultural colonies’ in Mother Russia.

Then his descendants hopped over to Eretz Yisrael, and continued the trend with ‘enlightened’Labour Socialism and the proto-commie kibbutzim.

(Oh, and also wrote KOL HATOR, which everyone likes to quote, all the time, especially when it comes to discussions about the Erev Rav. BTW, the people who were most obsessed with writing long screeds about the Erev Rav happened to be the Sabbateans…. Anyone who didn’t believe what they believed were ‘Erev Rav’.)

==

It’s possible some of these descendants made teshuva and returned sincerely to their Jewish roots.

But as we continue to unpick all this, you’ll see that most of them actually concentrated on keeping all the money flowing into the ‘Eretz Yisrael project’ firmly in their own hands, and under their own control.

(Even before they devolved into that swamp creature known as an ‘Israeli politician’.)

==

So now, let’s return to the mason BARUCH SHICK, whose direct descendants were clearly part of the satanic-commie ‘kabal’ that created and ruled our failed State, because SHICK wasn’t just connected to proto-commies in Shklov and Frankist-reformers in Berlin.

He was also connected to the VILNA GAON.

Let’s try to break that part of the story down a little more – and again, just to stress, what I’m bringing below is based on bona fide historical documents, mostly found and researched by Aryeh Morgenstern.

This isn’t ‘conspiracy theory’.

(And that’s what’s making this so uncomfortable to engage with in parts, right?)

==

Shick pops up both Fishman’s RUSSIA’S FIRST MODERN JEWS and in Morgenstern’s book THE GAON OF VILNA AND HIS MESSIANIC VISION.

In both books, the authors make connections between BARUCH SHICK and kabbalistic works and ‘scientific documents’ that are being smuggled into Vilna by a former student of the RAMCHAL, R HAIM LUZZATTO, called YEKUTIEL GORDON.

A while back, Rav Berland also mentioned them. This is a snippet from February 2022, now published in CONVERSATIONS II:

==

RAMCHAL AND GORDON

Each hour, [The Ramchal] he’d see angels, until this was told to the rabbis of Venice.

And Rabbi Yeshaya Bassan was his shver. R’ Yeshaya Bassan told him to lower his profile, the he should keep things censored – but he couldn’t do it. Every quarter of an hour, he saw an angel.

And there was one person, called ‘Gordon’, he was a student of the ‘Gaon’, and he was a little ruined.

And he came to Padua to learn in the university, and when he saw the Ramchal, he made teshuva. And he heard how he would converse with angels – he heard how he was speaking.

The Ramchal was shut up in a room, but each quarter of an hour, he was talking to someone, until he revealed that this was the Angel Gabriel, and the Angel Michael, and the Angel Nuriel. Every quarter of an hour, a new angel would come.

And so, he [i.e. Gordon] publicised this. This was around 5480. In 5488 (1728), this was exactly 50 years after ‘that man’ – Shabtai Tzvi – died [in 1678]. So they suspected that he was also a Sabbatean, so all the Venetian rabbis excommunicated him.

And he wrote Zohar, he wrote a whole Zohar. They took the Zohar away from him, and just left the 70 tikkunim that he wrote on ‘Bereishit – before the eyes of all Israel’. This remains.

==

And afterwards, he travelled to Amsterdam, until they wrote to the rabbis of Amsterdam and they also excommunicated him.

There is where he printed Mesillat Yesharim. They didn’t agree to let him print books about kabbalah.

And so he saw that in each place, he was being excommunicated, so he ascended to Israel. He got to Israel in 5503 (1743), and after half a year, he died. And angels brought him to Tiveria, because he died in Acco.

It’s impossible to bring [someone] from Acco – there was no ‘chevra kadisha’ organisation, there were only donkeys. Donkeys took three days. It’s impossible to carry a body along for three days. So, how he got from Acco to Tiveria is still a mystery, even today.

He was the soul of Rabbi Akiva, so only angels brought him.

[Translated from the Rav’s comments in the ‘Be’er B’Sadeh’ sefer.] Shivivei Or 309

==

We have the Rav’s testimony that YEKUTIEL GORDON was not coming from a good place, spiritually.

(BTW, Gordon seems to be part of the wider EIBSHITZ family, but good luck pinning that down in any concrete way… As usual, it’s all been totally scrubbed.)

==

In RUSSIA’S FIRST MODERN JEWS, page 27, GORDON is introduced like this:

“One can only speculate as to how Latin manuscripts reached Schick’s hand.

A number of young Lithuanian Jews traveled to Padua, Italy, to pursue a medical education and it is likely that they brought scientific writings back to Lithuania after their course of study.

One such medical student, Yekutiel Gordon of Vilna (known for his membership in the mystical-messianic circle of R Moshe Hayim Luzzatto), resided in Shklov during the 1730s and 1740s, and practised medicine there.

He may well have been the conduit through which the writings of Cardano, Viete and Euclid reached Shklov.”

==

BARUCH SHICK is described as ‘mining the Zohar’ for some of his scientific works, particularly when it comes to anatomy.

Here’s what he himself wrote in the introduction to his book Tiferet Adam:

“Within [man] are bound and hidden the clues to the mystery of God, as it is written, ‘from my flesh I behold God’.

[God] created man in His likeness and image, so that [man] might attain from his very self the mysteries and knowledge of the Creator….

We have therefore undertaken to explain man’s structure and composition, and the composition of his limbs, that the initiated [ha-maskil] may delve into their hidden meaning, which is concealed and spiritual.”

==

Shick himself used the word ‘ha-maskil’, translated here as ‘the initiated’.

I quoted this because the maskilim weren’t ‘anti-spirituality’ – they had all the dark-side ‘spirituality’ of belonging to satanic secret societies.

They were anti Torah and mitzvot – but spiritually, they were very into warped kabbalistic ideas that connected them mamash to the deepest side of evil.

R Elazar Fleckeles of Prague explained all this very clearly, and I’ll bring his diatribe against the Frankist-masons of prague (all of whom were still pretending externally to be ‘orthodox Jews’) below this post, as an addendum.

==

So, this is also the masonic swamp BARUCH SHICK was swimming in, and on page 29-30, of Fishman’s book, we learn this:

“Shick’s introduction to Tiferet adam referred in passing to ‘the manuscript commentary on the Idra by Rabbi Hayim Luzzatto.”

This is noteworthy, since Luzzatto’s treatise was unpublished at the time, and manuscripts of the latter’s works were copied and disseminated in Eastern Europe by none other than Yekutiel Gordon, the former Padua medical student who resided in Shklov in the 1740s.”

==

In other words, BARUCH SHICK had access to some very high kabbalah from the RAMCHAL, that had been ‘smuggled out’ and distorted by YEKUTIEL GORDON of Shklov / Vilna.

And all this is happening exactly when the twisted kabbalah of the Sabbateans and JONATHAN EIBSHITZ starts to devolve even further into the literally satanic ideas of the Frankists.

This is no coincidence.

==

So now, how does the VILNA GAON fit into all this?

Let’s turn to Morgenstern’s book THE GAON OF VILNA AND HIS MESSIANIC VISION.

Morgenstern sets out that the Gaon and his disciples basically believed that he was ‘Moshiach ben Yosef’ – at the very least.

And that the GAON was trying to ‘bring the end times’ by “perfecting his knowledge of the entire Torah.”

(A couple of years ago, I wrote some lengthy posts bringing more of this information down from Morgenstern’s book, I will post them back up on the blog, to give more background going forward – and to give my hands a rest from all the typing!)

==

Apparently the main works the Gaon is trying to track down, before he makes the [aborted….] move to Eretz Yisrael was a kabbalistic work called the PIRKEI HEKHALOT, and also MOSHE CORDOVERO’s commentaries on the Zohar.

And how do we know this?

Because the VILNA GAON and his brother ISSACHAR DOV BER (who married the daughter of ASHER GINZBURG / GUNZBURG) sent a letter to the chief rabbi of Amsterdam, SAUL LOEWENSTAMM asking for those books.

ISSACHAR DOV BER was close mishpocha with two Amsterdam chief rabbis.

His daughter had married JACOB KAHANE, who was the maternal grandson of SAUL LOWENSTAMM. And LOWENSTAMM’s daughter was married to SAUL SEGAL, chief rabbi of the Hague.

==

(It turns out, ISSACHAR DOV BER the brother of the GRA is also very close family with BARUCH SHICK… But one thing at a time.)

====

Now, let’s quote that letter from page 363, signed by both the Vilna Gaon, and his brother, ISSACHAR DOV BER of Vilna:

“We ask you strenuously….to be a source of support for us and to give us wisdom and glory….We have heard that the book Pirqie hekhalotI, by Ishmael b. Elisha, may be found in your vicinity.

Please tell one of your aides to search for it and to buy it for us at full price. And if the commentaries on the holy Zohar by early [authorities] such as Moses Cordovero and the like can be found, as well as other amazing books by early [authorities], and also Aristotle’s Sefer ha-middot [Nicomachean Ethics], please buy for us, and send them to us with the books that are being sent from your community to ours for our community’s booksellers.”

==

In the footnote, Morgenstern explains that so-called ‘haredi historians’ typically censor all these references found in letters etc, that the GAON was busy reading things like Aristotle.

Why?

Because it doesn’t fit the ‘persona’ that was created for the GRA, to try and hide all these links with secular education and maskil tendencies.

All the maskilim (‘the initiated’) initially had big beards and even the clean-shaven type from Germany wore tzitzit in public – including such toads as MAX LILLIENTHAL.

What made them maskilim (initially….) was the insistence that Jewish children should get a secular education and learn foreign languages.

Because they understood that this was the way to destroy the Jewish soul from within.

==

Let’s quote a few more pertinent snippets from Morgenstern’s book, and then we’ll start to tie all this back to BARUCH SHICK of SHKLOV –

And the ASIATIC BROTHERHOOD, started up by the Frankists to join xtian masonry with their own twisted ideas and fallen kabbalah.

==

This is a footnote to page 367:

“The Gaon is known to have owned manuscripts of the Ramhal that were subsequently published by SAMUEL LURIA of Mogilev….

[Another historian called] Benayahu….conjectures that the Gaon had recieved the writings from YEKUTIEL of VILNA, a student of Ramhal’s.

Benayahu notes that ARYEH LEIB EPSTEIN of Konigsburg also owned several manuscripts of Ramhal’s, as did NOAH MENDES, the Gaon’s father-in-law….

[O]ne may hypothesize that the Gaon, having seen several Ramhal manuscripts before 1778, wanted to gather and search for Ramhal’s remaining writings before moving on to Eretz Yisrael.”

==

Two things to note here: ARYEH LEIB EPSTEIN of Konigsburg keeps popping up in this story.

His son-in-law (and probably close relative) is SAMSON b. MORDECHAI of Slonim, who has a massive library of secular books, is another closet maskil who’s been scrubbed out the picture (not least, because the Kanievsky family of Bnei Brak descends from him) – and who has the English philosopher JEREMY BENTHAM stay in his house.

(You remember BENTHAM – he’s the guy who donates his body to science and his remains are now hung in a cage over the entrance to some university in London….)

SAMSON b. MORDECHAI gives BARUCH SHICK an approbation to his translation of EUCLID.

==

And the second thing to note is either a typo in the text – or another very interesting clue.

Official history tells us that the GRA’s son, AVRAHAM VILNER, married the daughter of NOAH LIPSHITZ, not the GRA himself.

NOAH LIPSHITZ is the guy who apparently shared a tomb, and a tombstone with the GRA…

==

Tov.

Let’s get back to SHICK’s connection to the GRA.

When the GRA heads off to Amsterdam in 1778 to try and track these books of deep kabbalah down himself, he’s accompanied by non other than the freemason BARUCH SHICK.

Snippet from page 368:

“By tracing the places Shick stayed….we may confirm our conjecture that he indeed accompanied the Gaon on his trip to Amsterdam.

Thus, Shick spent time in Berlin in 1777. After, in January 1778, he met in Vilna with the Gaon, who asked him to translate Euclid’s Elements into Hebrew. In 1779, we encounter Shick in the Hague, where he readied his translation of Euclid and his book Derekh yeshara for publication.

Since we find the Gaon in the Hague in the summer of 1778, we may surmise that after they met in Vilna in January 1778, they traveled together to the Netherlands, or decided to meet there.

The Gaon may have asked Shick to help him track down the rare books or manuscripts that he sought in the libraries of Amsterdam. They may also have explored together halakhic issues related to the construction of the Temple and the sacrificial service, which the Gaon sought to harmonise with scientific knowledge.”

==

This is all happening a full decade before the so-called chassidic aliyah to Israel led by MENACHEM MENDEL of VITEBSK.

==

I want to set out more about the ‘syncretistic rites’ between the kabbalah, xtianity and ‘science’ that formed the basis of the Frankist’s ASIAN BROTHERHOOD, so you can start to see how much overlap there is with that, and with what is being described above, yourselves.

But we’ll keep that for another post, because there is still more stuff to learn about the Gaon’s trip to Amsterdam.

==

Let’s bring a few more snippets, then we’ll unpack a bit more:

Footnote to page 374:

“Toviya Preshel broached the hypothesis that the Gaon’s famous visit with RAPHAEL HA-KOHEN in Hamburg also occurred in 1778, when he left Konigsberg enroute to Amsterdam.

There is a well-known traditiion…that the two men met and that the Gaon asked Raphael to study diligently the Order Qodashim and the laws of the Temple service.”

==

RAPHAEL HA-KOHEN of Hamburg was meant to be the genius pupil of none other than the SHA’AGAT ARYEH, father-in-law or in-law of NATAN NETA NOTKIN of Shklov… I don’t know how all this adds up, but I will be taking a closer look at him.

==

The next snippet (from page 375) introduces the super-wealthy banker connected to the Dutch East Indies company TOBIAS BOAS of Amsterdam, who deserves his own post (and who has also been ‘scrubbed’ as much as possible, from real Jewish history.)

“In Chapter 5, we described the vigor that TOBIAS BOAS, leader of the Jewish community in the Hague, employed in searching for the ten tribes across Asia….

[A]fter failing to locate in Amsterdam the mysterious writings that he had sought before his aliya, the Gaon wished to determine whether the redemption could be hastened in another way, i.e. By finding the ten tribes….

==

This snippet is from page 383:

“Although the Gaon of Vilna and his son Abraham wrote about the sequence of the redemption in no uncertain terms, we have no unequivocal historical evidence that the Gaon took an interest in the existence of the ten tribes during his stay in the Netherlands.

We do, however, possess clear testimony that members of the Boas family of the Hague were searching for the tribes during this time and that the matter was discussed at the meeting in Tobias Boas’s home that Hida attended.

The meeting took place in the summer of 1778, around the time that the Gaon of Vilna himself reached the Hague.

==

“However, there is a Jerusalem tradition in the same of Samuel Salanter that the Gaon of Vilna went to Erez Israel for the purpose of reinstating semikha, successive rabbinical ordination….

In 1830, ISRAEL of SHKLOV, a disciple of the Gaon of Vilna, sent an emissary from Safed to hunt for the ten tribes in the deserts of Yemen, for two reasons:

The belief that discovering them would augur the onset of the messianic era and also the premise that they could thereby be given an active role to play in…. The resumption of semikha and the reestablishment of the Sanhedrin, the legal institutions that, according to Rambam, must be installed as a prerequisite for the redemption.”

==

TOBIAS BOAS’s daughter was married to the infamous Berlin maskil, NAFTALI HERTZ WESSELY.

Wessely was also obsessed with finding the Ten Tribes – quite an odd occupation, for a fanatic maskil hanging out with MOSES MENDELSSOHN in Berlin, don’t you think?

Unless, the story we’ve all been told about who these maskilim really were, and what they were really up to, isn’t true.

And it all got covered up after Jacob Frank took Sabbateanism, and ‘Frankism’ into the direction of being openly satanic and faux-xtian.

“Jacob Frank” and the GRA lived at exactly the same time as each other.

It’s remarkable that the GRA apparently wasn’t ‘excommunicating’ the Frankists, or the Sabbateans that stayed behind in the Jewish community as ‘orthodox Jews’, while his close disciples were off joining secret societies that promoted the convergence of Judaism with xtianity, all tied up with a neat ‘satanic-masonic’ bow.

Isn’t it?

==

We’ll stop there for now.

It’s a lot to digest, I know.

And we’re not done yet.

====

PS: I was discussing this post with a friend of mine, who is in the middle of reading the HIDA’s diaries.

She just sent me the pages talking about Amsterdam, I didn’t go through them yet.

But what I can already tell you is that the HIDA makes absolutely no mention of the ‘VILNA GAON’ (nor BARUCH SHICK).

At all.

Even though they were in Amsterdam at exactly the same time, hanging around with exactly the same people, in exactly the same house of TOBIAS BOAS.

The Vilna Gaon had apparently also started his campaign of excommunicating the chassidim (whatever that actually means….) six years before.

Apparently in 1778-9, he was already a ‘big deal’ in the Torah world.

And yet, the HIDA doesn’t mention him at all.

I’ll go through the diaries properly, and see what other stuff I can glean from them.

But in the next post, we’re going back to Vilna, as I just finally found the real identity of ‘SHMUEL ben AVIGDOR’ KARO – or to be more precise, his father.

And that’s also a very interesting story.

====

PPS: I was walking around the Cardo in Jerusalem with that same friend yesterday, when we saw they’d stuck up a ‘Map of Eretz Yisrael’ drawn by the Vilna Gaon (!)

Say what?!

How could he draw a map of Eretz Yisrael when he’d never been here himself?!

(Apparently).

She just sent me a link to that map on line, HERE.

====

Apparently, the GRA made a few other maps, too, here are the links my friend just sent me:

They have some other maps there by him:

• https://www.nli.org.il/en/maps/NNL_MAPS_JER990023697410205171/NLI#$FL201263063

The birur is really starting to speed up.

Finally.
