The Pope from Rome is coming to meet and speak with President Obama today. Tonight just happens to be Erev Yom Kippur, meaning the night that the Jewish holiest day of the year is starting. Coincidence?
Yom Kippur is very special. Most Jews, if they are able, will attend their synagogue tonight for Kol Nidre and tomorrow morning for Yom Kippur. They will be fasting after dinner tonight for 25 hours-without drinking any water, which is quite hard to do. Our narrative is that Moses wrote the 5 books of Moses. It was Moses who told us to do this. In Leviticus, 16:29, it says,
"This shall remain for you an eternal decree: In the 7th moth, on the 10th of the month, you shall afflict yourselves and you shall not do any work, neither the native nor the proselyte who dwells among you.
For on this day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before HaShem (translation: (the Word-G-d) shall you be cleansed.
It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall afflict yourselves; an eternal decree. The Kohen, who has been anointed or who has been given the authority to serve in place of his father, shall provide atonement; he shall don the linen vestments, the sacred vestments....This shall be to you an eternal decree to bring atonement upon the children of Israel for all their sins once a year; and Aaron did as HaShem commanded Moses."
Kohens are the descendants of Aaron, brother of Moses. This holiday we will start to celebrate tonight is Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year when our affliction is to fast for repentance. Many Cohens serving in the synagogue today are really ancestors of the Kohens bearing J1 or J2 DNA haplogroup. Moses is said to have died in 1271 BCE, so we have been having Yom Kippur for 3,286 years. Now, Jews make up only about 2% of the American population, but it is mighty strange that the Pope wanted to meet Obama today on such an auspicious Jewish holiday. Coincidence, you say? The Pope knows exactly what day today is the start of.
This is indeed a first. It's the first time Obama will host the Pope who will also be addressing a special session of the House and Senate together.
Obama gathered up some strange groups to greet Pope Francis today. I think he's trying to make a point. There will be the first gay Episcopal bishop of USA, a transgender head of a Catholic group, a nun who runs Network who was disapproved of by the Catholic heads for lobbying for Obamacare. This was a no-no because it's not liked by Catholics or other religious groups as they have been funding abortions and Catholics by the Feds are now asked to provide birth control for their employees, which is also a no-no. Then there's always that inevitable photo op that people get together for in the first place. In Obama's mind these people might be looked on by the Pope as sinners because they are going against what he preaches. I guess Obama is helping him to find people that need to be saved.
The Pope and Jews today are not getting along well because of his goings on in the Middle East, visiting Jordan while holding property in Jerusalem. The Pope went against Israel completely when he signed a treaty with the PA (Palestinian Authority with Abbas) in which he recognized Palestine as a state. This happened in February 2013. This is a legal document and constitutes an official recognition. It is not truly officially one as yet,through the UN, though they have been trying. Trying by attacking Israel from Gaza, and being split and together and split again from Hamas which are terrorists.
Because the Pope did this, Israel's Sanhedrin passed judgement on Pope Francis on September 8th of this year. A trial and judgement took place on the 20th. Pope Francis was called in a summons. He ignored it, coming to the USA on today. He was then judged in absentia. His decision to recognize the Palestinians as a state is the cause of the trial. Today's Sanhedrin is a religious high court of 71 rabbis. The Pope's statement that the Jews have no right to the land of Israel or to Jerusalem was shocking. Now the Pope has switched the relations from the PLO to the State of Palestine. It's a treaty.
The Pope has also gone as far as calling Abbas an angel of peace! In doing all this, Israel sees the significance as the Pope rejecting the Biblical roots of the Jews who live in the land of Israel. They were led there to live by Moses, and that's what the 5 books all lead up to. The Jews lived there from 1271 BCE when Moses died till 70 CE when the ROMANS, who had been occupying Jerusalem, attacked the 2nd Temple and burned it down along with the whole city of Jerusalem, causing all the Jews of Judah to flee.
Jews have been very faithful to the Democratic party. They were attracted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during WW II when 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust of Europe. The Democratic Party is like a father to them. It is said that more than 70% of the Jews of the USA had voted for Obama both times!
Now he's gone against Israel big time by siding with Iran, a Muslim state who wants to destroy the Jewish state and who we feel is making nuclear power for just that reason. Up to now, the USA has been Israel's friend, the only Democratic country sharing values with the USA.
Today the Palestinians are on the same level in the UN with official observer status, just like the Pope's Vatican. Of course no Jews should be hanging around the White House today or tomorrow for any receptions or meetings. They will be in their synagogues. Such as how our White House schedules events.
The Pope ignored Israel quite a bit when he visited with Jordan recently on his 3 day whirlwind, spending time more with the Palestinians. .

I met several Argentinian Jews in my Ulpan in Israel who were learning Hebrew with me. By 1990, there were 228,000 Jews living in Argentina, mainly in Buenos Aires. They have been an important part of Argentina's development of industry and commerce. Assimilation has also helped to depopulate Argentina besides those making Aliyah to Israel. |
