“All that is natural is varied.”

(Tout ce qui est naturel est varié.)

כמה עזות וחצפה יש לרשויות ורשעיהם, כמה צביעות וקלון במצח הבוגדים התובעים אותנו על פי אמה ומדה אשר מן התורה תלמדנו!

מפמפמים את עצמם על “כבוד האדם וחירותו”, “חוק שעות המנוחה”, “חופש מצפוני”, “נקיון כפיים”, וכולי, ומאשימים אותנו בביטולם ע”י קיום תורתנו הקדושה!

ראה לגברת אמת שפחה נואמת: לא כי, בנך המת ובני החי!

וז”ל הרש”ר הירש דברים ספל”א, התורה מקור של אורה ואמת לכל העולם: ממנו שתו – ושותים – כל העמים שה’ הפיץ את העם הזה ביניהם על בגידתו כו’. ממנו זרע השלום והאמת המצמיח ישועה לכלל האנושות, וכל העולם כולו, מדעת ושלא מדעת, קוצר את פריו כדי לחיות את נפשו…

נלאיתי להעתיק; כדאי לראות בפנים.

Daniel Dennett, a leading “New” atheist, author of countless “deepities”, claims, in one example, religion is less a Belief of its own than a “Belief in belief”.

This is nonsense.

The error of many evil men lies in denying man is quite immutable. Saying some people have an additional, unnecessary “Belief in belief”, (unshared by “Bright” others) is like saying some people possess an additional, unnecessary “Belief in love”.

Our created nature beneficially compels us to believe in things. Usually, those things are true. When the belief is temporary, the belief may also be false. Those experiencing depression, etc., may sometimes exercise painful thoughts and beliefs, as the Steipler wrote in his “medical” letters.

The religious impulse never dies. “Those who don’t believe in God believe in everything”. Without living parasitically off the benefits of religion, the atheist would kill fellow apes while naked. Contra Nietzsche, Hashem is not dead, and He never was.

Ynet (via Esser Agaroth):

Two new shekel bills in the Bank of Israel’s poets’ series will be entering circulation in the coming weeks, depicting poetesses Rachel (Bluwstein) and Leah Goldberg… joining the two bills from the series already on the market: a NIS 50 bill featuring Shaul Tchernichovsky and an NIS 200 bill featuring Nathan Alterman.

Economic officials have estimated this would be the last series of paper bills issued in Israel, as paper money is only changed once every few decades, as has been the case in this instance, and in 10-20 years payments are more likely to be made using smart phones, computers and credit cards, all but nullifying the need for cash.

I just hope they are moderately modest. And since these are unlikely to be the last bills, government wishes to the contrary, I can only foresee this issue getting worse worldwide. In the name of “Art”, there is no limit on what we will yet be exposed to. What did we do about the Golda Meir Lira? Nothing. But she was modest, and there were no Charedi strictures against images of modest women yet.

Are the Charedim in Knesset or zealots even looking into this?

Wait. In the time of Chazal, too, they had lewd statues in bathhouses, as in the Mishna of Rabban Gamliel, Roman statues of a בעל גבר (the filter’s blocking my research), and so on. And the coin images weren’t Mishnas Chassidim.

Ever hear of Chanukah?
