Death of a Great Rabbi; Time for Jewish Revenge for Death

[JBG]

On February 8, 2012 Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut, a famous and notable Toronto rabbi died. He was Senior Rabbi at Toronto's Holy Blossom Synagogue from 1961 to 1977 and remained active as a commentator on the Torah since. He in fact wrote what is now the standard Reform commentary on the Torah, that is in use in most Reform synagogues.

This interview is both stirring and stunning (link). This is the link to his obituary. This is an excerpt (link to original) from another tribute:

“We are not a bomb-throwing group,” Plaut intoned in that crisp lightly tinged German-Jewish accent, “but I want everyone to know we are a militant group.” Rabbi Plaut required no megaphone; his voice seemed to carry across the park and bury itself in our souls.

“We will not be silent. Four thousand years of history and millions of dead Jews shout into the silence with us,” he cried, and then with a fierce strength of purpose he began the chant: “One, Two, Three, Four, Open up the iron door; Five, Six, Seven, Eight, let my people emigrate!” And as if with one voice spurred on by this brave rabbi, the thousands joined in.​

He was truly a special man.

Now, the question is, will rival groups fight it out in the streets to assume his mantle of leadership? Will the Toronto Jews go on a frenzied rampage and fire guns in the air to avenge his death? bud, your views?

Perhaps Plaut's own words, in the excerpt above, answers that question.

I see that a certain poster made a post and thought better of it. I will not repost the contents.

Then why even mention it? What's the point of that?

The new testament is bad enough. Anybody who believes the old testament is not only naive and foolish they are to be pitied.

[amrchaos]

Was he murdered or did he die from natural causes.

If he died from natural causes, I doubt the jews will go nuts and try to use violence to determine who should claim his mantle of leaderhip. If he was murdered,the jews will most likely turn to the justice system and use it to persecute the murderer.

Yep. Better than standing with you when Jesus returns. I will be a lot safer.

 

[The Irish Ram]

I think the Jews will mourn his loss, but Israel is on the brink of war. Possibly as soon as a few months. I think Jews everywhere will be focused on the fate of the nation of Israel.

( Cammmpppppbell,
You were a man that had "religion" for a good portion of your life. Was there an event that turned you away, or some sort of an epiphany? Did you go to church and just not believe what they said, or did you decide at some later date that God couldn't do the impossible?
Could some of God's restrictions stem from a lack of understanding on our part?
for example:
Jonah wasn't swallowed by a whale. Their throats are about the size of an orange. He was swallowed by a Leviathan. Plenty of room, plenty of air. )

 

[JBG]

Was he murdered or did he die from natural causes.

If he died from natural causes, I doubt the jews will go nuts and try to use violence to determine who should claim his mantle of leaderhip. If he was murdered,the jews will most likely turn to the justice system and use it to persecute the murderer.

There was not enough rioting.

The new testament is bad enough. Anybody who believes the old testament is not only naive and foolish they are to be pitied.

The Bible, particularly the Old Testament is to be studied, not read. Reading the Bible from the perspective of 21st Century humans is like a toddler who is pretending to read by flipping through pages of a book held upside down.

 

[Meriweather]

So you're ready to stand with....

Absolutely--but very differently from how you view it. These are ancient stories, told in story form, with lessons being presented.

Your list did not come from a textbook, an encyclopedia, a factual newspaper account, etc. These accounts were not written from the perspective of modern man. They are truths and lessons presented by people much more talented in conveying and understanding lessons and truths in stories than we are.

Can you interpret another language or modern art or body language, or can you only deal in lists of straight facts?

Hey fcktard, most Jews are Atheists. How do they give credit to something they don't believe. Hey, you fckling shithead, have you ever read the Talmud?
