Talmud of the Jews Parts 3 & 4

Part 3

They differ only in form from Beasts: "God created them in the form of men for the glory of Israel. But Akum were created for the sole end of ministering Unto them (the Jews) day and night. Nor can they ever be relieved from this service. It is becoming to the son of a king (an Israelite) that animals in their natural form, and animals in the form of human beings should minister unto him."

Another quotation is: "If pigs are to be pitied when they suffer from disease, because their intestines are similar to ours, how much more should the Akum be pitied when thus afflicted."
Rabbi Schelomo Iarchi (Raschi) a famous Jewish commentator, explaining the law of Moses (Deut. 14:21) for bidding the eating of meat of wounded animals, but which must be given to the 'stranger in thy gates,' or which, according to Exodus 22:30, is to be thrown to the dogs, has this to say: ". . . . for he is like a dog. Are we to take the word 'dog' here literally? By no means. For the text in speaking of dead bodies says, Or thou mayest sell it to an alien. This applies much more to the meat of wounded animals, for which it is permitted to accept payment. Why therefore does the Scripture say it may be thrown to 'dogs'? In order to teach you that a dog is to be more respected that the Nokhri (stranger, foreigner).

It is to be inferred that Christian marriage is not true marriage because "The seed of a Goi is worth the same as that of a beast."

Another statement is: "If a Jew enters into marriage with an Akum (Christian), or with his servant, the marriage is null. For they are not capable of entering into matrimony. Likewise if an Akum or a servant enter into matrimony with a Jew, the marriage is null."

Rabbi Abba says: "If only idolaters alone had sexual intercourse, the world would not continue to exist. Hence we are taught that a Jew should not give way to those infamous robbers. For if these propagate in greater numbers, it will be impossible for us to continue to exist because of them. For they give birth to sucklings the same as dogs."

Another statement says: "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field" (Genesis 3:1). 'More subtle' that is towards evil; 'than all the beasts' that is, the idolatrous people of the earth. For they are the children of the ancient serpent which seduced Eve."

The best argument used by the Jews to prove that Christians are of the race of the devil is the fact that they are uncircumcized. For by circumcision the name of God (Shaddai) is completed in the flesh of a circumcized Jew. The teaching of the Jews is that God created two natures, one good and the other evil, or one nature with two sides, one clean and the other unclean. From the unclean side, called Keliphah—rind, or scabby crust—the souls of Christians are said to have come.

"Idolatrous people, however, since they exist, befoul the world, because their souls come out of the unclean side." Again, "The souls of the impious come from Keliphah, which is death and the shadow of death." This unclean side is said to be the left side.

"And he created every living thing, that is, the Israelites, because they are the children of the Most High God, and their holy souls come out from Him. But where do the souls of the idolatrous Gentiles come from? Rabbi Eliezer says: from the left side, which makes their souls unclean. They are therefore all unclean and they pollute all who come in contact with them."

The elders teach that Abraham sits at the gate of Gehenna and prevents any circumcized person from entering there; but that all the uncircumcized go down into hell. "Heretics and Epicureans and Traitors go down into hell."

"The bodies of Christians after death are called by the odious name of Pegarim, which is the word used in Holy Scripture for the dead bodies of the damned and of animals, but never for the pious dead, who are called Metim."

"Condolences must not be offered to anyone on account of the death of his servants or handmaidens. All that may be said is 'May God restore your lost one, the same as we say to a man who has lost a cow or an ass.'"

CONCERNING CHRISTIAN RITES AND WORSHIP

Since Christians are regarded by the Jews as idolaters, all their forms of worship are idolatrous. Their priests are called priests of Baal; their temples are called houses of lies and idolatry, and everything they contain, such as chalices, statues and books are regarded as made for the serving of idols; their prayers, both private and public, are sinful and offensive to God; and their festivals are called days of evil.

The Talmud speaks of priests, the ministers of Christian worship, as idolatrous and belonging to the god Baal. They are also called Komarim—Soothsayers; and also Galachim, the shaved, because they shave their heads, particularly the monks. "It is forbidden to sell the books of the prophets to the soothsayers, since they may use them for their evil worship in their idolatrous temples. Those who do so sin against the law which forbids us to place an obstacle in the way of a blind person. It is also forbidden to sell them to a Christian who is not shaved, for he is sure to give or sell them to one of them who is shaved."

A Jew is forbidden not only to enter a Christian church, but even to go near it, except under certain circumstances. "It is forbidden to stand in the shadow of a house of idolatry, whether from the inside or the outside, for a distance of four cubits from the front door. It is not forbidden, however, to stand under the shadow of the back of a church.

Nor is a Jew allowed to listen to, or admire the beautiful music of the churches, and to examine the statues of their idols; for even by looking at them one can be influenced by the evil of idolatry.

Likewise a Jew is not allowed to have a house near a church; nor is he allowed to rebuild a house which has been destroyed in such a place.

All the Talmudists agree that the books of the Christians should be destroyed. They differ only as to what should be done with the names of God contained in them.

Christian prayers are called, not Tefillah, but Tiflah. They change the point and insert Yod, which makes it read to mean sin, foolishness and transgression.

Christian festivals, especially Sunday, are called Yom Ed—day of destruction, perdition, misfortune or calamity. Maimonides said: "Sammuel repeats the words of Rabbi Sal. Iarchi which forbid us particularly to celebrate the feats of Christmas and Easter, which are celebrated on account of him who was hanged."

CHRISTIANS MUST BE AVOIDED

Jews are required to avoid all contact with Christians for four reasons: (1) Because they are not worthy to share in the Jewish way of life; (2) Because they are unclean; (3) Because they are idolaters; (4) Because they are murderers.

A Jew, by the fact that he belongs to the Chosen People and is circumcized, possesses so great a dignity that no one, not even an angel, can share equality with him. In fact, he is considered almost the equal of God. "He who strikes an Israelite" says Rabbi Chanina, "acts as if he slaps the face of God's Divine Majesty."

A Jew is always considered good, in spite of certain sins which he may commit; nor can his sins contaminate him, any more than dirt contaminates the kernel in a nut, but only soils its shell. A Jew alone is looked upon as a man; the whole world is his and all things should serve him, especially "animals which have the form of men." They are therefore required to keep as far away as possible from all who live and act as Christians do.

A Jew must not salute a Christian; or enter the home of a Nokhri on a feast day to offer him greetings. But if he meets him on the street, he may offer him a greeting, but curtly and with head bowed.

"A Jew must not return the greeting of a Christian by bowing before him. It is good, therefore, to salute him first and so avoid having to answer him back if the Akum salutes him first."

"A Jew is not permitted to bring his case before Akum Judges, even if the matter is judged by the decisions of Jewish Law, and even if both parties agree to abide by such decisions. He who does so is impious and similar to one who. calumniates and blasphemes, and who raises his hand against the Law given us by Moses our great law-giver."

"A Christian or a servant cannot be used as a witness." Nor may a Jew eat the food at Christians. "The Elders forbade the eating of the bread of the Akum, lest we should seem to be familiar with them."

"The following things belonging to the Gentiles are forbidden: Milk which a Gentile takes from a cow, in the absence of a Jew; also their bread, etc."

"It is not permitted to imitate the customs of the Akum, nor to act like them. Nor to wear clothes like the Akum, nor to comb the hair as they do. . . neither must Jews build houses that look like temples of the Akum."

As, however, it is not possible to observe all these rules in every place, they may be overlooked to a certain extent, when, for instance, it is to the advantage of a Jew to do so, if a Jew would profit by a trade which requires a certain kind of dress.

The Talmud teaches that Christians are people whose touch alone makes things unclean. Every vessel, therefore, must be washed which comes into the possession of a Jew from a Christian, although it has never been in use. "If a Jew buys a vessel for Use at table from an Akum whether of metal, glass, or lead, even if new, he must wash it in a Mikvah (a large basin), or in a cistern which holds forty quarts of water."

There is nothing that Jews are more convinced of than the harm which Christians can do to the children of Israel. Therefore, the rulers of the Chosen People have always instructed them not to accept any help from Christians who will always resort to murder, and to other crimes, whenever they cannot otherwise obtain their evil ends. Thus, a Jew must not employ a Christian as a nurse, or as a teacher for his children, or as a doctor, a barber or an obstetrician.

CHRISTIANS MUST BE EXTERMINATED

The followers of "that man" (Christ) whose name is taken by the Jews to mean "May his name and memory be blotted out," are not otherwise to be regarded than as people whom it would be good to get rid of. They are called Romans and tyrants who hold captive the children of Israel, and by their destruction the Jews would be freed from the Fourth Captivity. Every Jew is therefore bound to do all he can to destroy that impious kingdom of the Edomites (Rome) which rules the whole world. Since, however, it is not always and everywhere possible to effect this extermination of Christians, the Talmud orders that they should be attacked at least indirectly, namely: by injuring them in every possible way, and by thus lessening their power, help towards their ultimate destruction. Wherever it is possible a Jew should kill Christians, and do so without mercy. Jews must wreck the plans and projects of Christians; neither must they save a Christian who is in danger of death. Good must not be done to Christians. "Those who do good to the Akum . . . . will not rise from the dead."

At times it is permitted to do good to Christians, but only in order to help Israel, namely, for the sake of peace and to hide hatred of them. Maimonides said: "Needy Gentiles may be helped as well as needy Jews, for the sake of peace. . ."

A Jew is not permitted to praise a Christian. "Do not say anything in praise of them, lest it be said: How good that Goi is!"

In numerous places ignominious names are given by the Jews to Christian things. It will not be out of place to list a few of these names which they give to things and persons which are held holy and dear by Christians, as follows:— JESUS is ignominiously called Jeschu—which means, May his name and memory be blotted out. His proper name in Hebrew is Jeschua, which means Salvation. MARY, The Mother of JESUS, is called Charia—dung, excrement. In Hebrew her proper name is Miriam. Christian Saints, the word for which in Hebrew is Kedoschim, are called Kededchim (cinaedos)—feminine men (Fairies). Women Saints are called Kedeschoth, Whores. SUNDAY is called the day of calamity. The Feast of CHRISTMAS is called Nital, denoting extermination. The GOSPEL books are called Aavon Gilaion, Books of Iniquity. Christian Sacrifices are called Dung Offerings. In the Jerusalem Talmud it is taught that the Gentiles actually honour their God by excrementing before Him.

A Jew is forbidden to sell his Farm to Christians. Anyone who sells his Farm to the Akum must be sent into exile unless he undertakes to make up for all the harm that follows as a consequence of having the Akum live near the Jews. Nor is it allowed to teach a Trade to the Akum.

Since the Goim minister to Jews like beasts of burden, they belong to a Jew together with his life and all his faculties: "The life of a Goi and all his physical powers belong to a Jew." It is an axiom of the Rabbis that a Jew may take anything that belongs to Christians for any reason whatsoever, even by fraud; nor can such be called robbery since it is merely taking what belongs to him.

Part 4

Christians Must Not Be Told If They Pay Too Much To A Jew. "If you send a messenger to collect money from an Akum and the Akum pays too much, the messenger may keep the difference. But if the messenger does not know about it, then you may keep it all yourself."
Lost Property Of Christians Must Not Be Returned to Them. "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum, for it is written: 'Return to thy brethren what is lost' (Deuteronomy 22:3). For he who returns lost property (to Christians) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honour the name of God, namely, if by so doing Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honourable people."

Christians May Be Defrauded: "It is permitted to deceive a Goi." "If a Jew is doing business with an Akum and a fellow Israelite comes along and defrauds the Akum, either by false measure, weight or number, he must divide his profit with his fellow Israelite, since both had a part in the deal, and also in order to help him along."

A Jew May Pretend He is a Christian to Deceive Christians. "If a Jew is able to deceive them (idolaters) by pretending he is a worshipper of the stars, he may do so."

A Jew is Allowed to Practise Usury on Christians. "It is allowed to take usury from Apostates who fall into idolatry." Elsewhere it is stated: "It is permitted, according to the Torah (Law), to lend money to an Akum with usury. Some of the Elders, however, deny this except in a case of life and death. Nowadays it is permitted for any reason."

Christians to be Harmed in Legal Matters. A Jew may lie and perjure himself to condemn a Christian. "Our teaching is as follows: When a Jew and a Goi come into court, absolve the Jew, if you can, according to the laws of Israel. If the Goi wins, tell him that is what our laws require. If, however, the Jew can be absolved according to the Gentile law, absolve him and say it is due to our laws. If this cannot be done proceed callously against the Goi, as Rabbi Ischmael advises."
A Jew May Perjure Himself With a Clear Conscience. "She (the mother of the mamzer) said to him, 'Swear to me.' And Rabbi Akibha swore with his lips, but in his heart he invalidated his oath."

A Jew Must Always Try to Deceive Christians. "Rabbi Jehuda said to Rabbi Chezkia: 'He is to be praised who is able to free himself from the enemies of Israel, and the just are much to be praised who get free from them and fight against them.' Rabbi Chezkia asked, 'How must we fight against them?' Rabbi Jehuda said, 'By wise counsel thou shalt war against them' (Proverbs 24:6). By what kind of war? The kind of war that every son of man must fight against his enemies, which Jacob used against Esau—by deceit and trickery whenever possible. They must be fought against without ceasing, until proper order be restored. Thus it is with satisfaction that I say we should free ourselves from them and rule over them."

A Sick Christian Must Not Be Aided. "The Akum are not to be cured, even for money, unless it would incur their enmity."

A Christian Woman in Childbirth Must Not Be Helped. "No help is to be given to an Akum woman in labour on the sabbath, even in a small way, for the Sabbath must not be violated."
A Christian in Danger of Death Must Not Be Helped. "If you see a heretic, who does not believe in the Torah (Law), fall into a well in which there is a ladder, hurry at once and take it away and say to him 'I have to go and take my son down from a roof; I will bring the ladder back to you at once' or something else. The Kuthaei, however, who are not our enemies, who take care of the sheep of the Israelites, are not to be killed directly, but they must not be saved from death."
"The Akum who are not enemies of ours must be killed directly, nevertheless they must not be saved from danger of death. For example, if you see one of them fall into the sea, do not pull him out unless he promises to give you money."
CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE KILLEDLastly, the Talmud commands that Christians are to be killed without mercy. "Heretics, traitors and apostates are to be thrown into a well and not rescued." Again, "A spy is to be killed, even in our days, wherever he is found. He may be killed even before he confesses. And even if he admits that he only intended to do harm to somebody, and if the harm which he intended is not very great, it is sufficient to have him condemned to death. He must be warned however, not to confess to this. But if he impudently says 'No, I will confess it!' then he must be killed, and the sooner the better. If there is no time to warn him, it is not necessary to do so. There are some who say that a traitor is to be put to death only when it is impossible to get rid of him by mutilating him, that is, by cutting out his tongue or his eyes, but if this can be done he must not be killed, since he is not any worse than others who persecute us." Again: "If it can be proved that someone has betrayed Israel three times, or has given the money of Israelites to the Akum, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."

Even a Christian who is found studying the Law of Israel merits death. "Rabbi Jochanan says: A Goi who pries into the Law is guilty of death."

Baptized Jews Are to be Put to Death. "These things are intended for idolaters. But Israelites also, who lapse from their religion and become epicureans, are to be killed, and we must persecute them to the end. For they afflict Israel and turn the people from God."

"Renegades who turn to the pleasures of the Akum, and who become contaminated with them by worshipping stars and planets as they do, are to be killed."

Rabbi Maimonides gives the list of those who are considered as denying the Law: "There are three classes of people who deny the Law of the Torah: (1) Those who say that the Torah was not given by God, at least one verse or one word of it, and who say that it was all the work of Moses; (2) Those who reject the explanation of the Torah, namely, the Oral Law of the Mischnah, and do not recognize the authority of the Doctors of the Law, like the followers of Tsadok (Sadducees) and Baithos; (3) Those who say that God changed the Law for another New Law, and that the Torah no longer has any value, although they do not deny that it was given by God, as the Christians and the Turks believe. All of these deny the Law of the Torah."

CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE KILLED BECAUSE THEY
ARE TYRANTS"

The People of the Earth are idolaters, and it has been written about them: Let them be wiped off the face of the earth. Destroy the memory of the Amalekites. They are with us still in this Fourth Captivity, namely, the Princes (of Rome) . . . . . who are really Amalekites."

These Princes are to be Killed First. For if they are allowed to live, the hope of the liberation of the Jews is in vain, and their prayers for release from this Fourth Captivity are of no avail. "It is certain that our captivity will last until the princes of the gentiles who worship idols are destroyed." Again: "Rabbi Jehuda said: Come and see how it is; how the princes have assumed power over Israel and the Israelites make no outcry. But their rejoicing is heard when the prince falls. It is written that: the King of the Egyptians died and soon the children of Israel were released from captivity; they cried out and their voice ascended to God."

The Princedom Whose Chief City is Rome is the One to be Hated Most of All by the Jews. They call it the Kingdom of Esau, and of the Edomites, the Kingdom of Pride, the wicked Kingdom, Impious Rome. The Turkish Empire is called the Kingdom of the Ishmaelites which they do not wish to destroy. The Kingdom of Rome, however, must be exterminated, because when corrupt Rome is destroyed, salvation and freedom will come to God's Chosen People.

"Even the best of the Goim (Gentiles) should be killed." But those of the Akum (Christians) who do no harm to Jews are not to be killed, namely those who do not wage war against Israel. "But in time of war the Akum are to be killed, for it is written: 'The good among the Akum deserve to be killed.'"

It is next stated that "A Jew who kills a Christian Commits no sin, but offers an acceptable sacrifice to God." "Everyone who sheds the blood of the impious is as acceptable to God as he who offers a sacrifice to God."

"After the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem, the only sacrifice necessary is the extermination of Christians." Again, "Those who kill Christians shall have a High Place in Heaven." "In the palaces of the fourth heaven are those who lamented over Sion and Jerusalem, and all those who destroyed idolatrous nations. . . . and those who killed off people who worships idols are clothed in purple garments so that they may be recognized and honoured."
Another rule is: "Do not eat with idolaters, nor permit them to worship their idols; for it is written: Make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them (Deut. 7:2). Either turn them away from their idols or kill them." Also: "In places where Jews are strong, no idolater must be allowed to remain. . . ."

All Jews are obliged to unite together to destroy Traitors amongst them. "All the inhabitants of a city are obliged to contribute to the expense of killing a traitor, even those who have to pay other taxes."

No Festival, no matter how solemn, must prevent the beheading of a Christian. Rabbi Eliezer said: "It is permitted to cut off the head of an 'idiot' (one of the People of the Earth) on the feast of the Atonement when it falls on the Sabbath." His disciples said to him: "Rabbi, you should rather say to sacrifice." But he replied: "By no means, for it is necessary to pray while sacrificing" and there is no need of prayers when you behead someone."

The one object of all the actions and prayers of the Jews should be to destroy the Christian Religion. Thus the Jews picture their Messiah and Liberator whom they expect, as a persecutor who will inflict great calamities upon non-Jews. The Talmud lists three great evils which will come upon the world when the Messiah comes. It is said, "Whoever eats three meals on the Sabbath shall be saved from three evils: from the punishments of the Messiah, from the pain of hell and from the war of Magog; for it is written: Behold, I shall send you Elias the Prophet before the coming of the 'Day' of the Lord, etc."

In their Prayers the Jews sigh for the coming of the Revengeful Messiah, especially on the Eve of the Passover. "Pour out thine anger upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the Kingdoms which do not invoke thy name; Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them; Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord." They also pray as follows: "How long will thy strength remain captive and thy beauty lie under the hand of the oppressor? 0 God! Show forth thy strength and thy zeal against our enemies; break their strength and let them be confounded. . . . ." And again: "Cut off the hope of the unjust; let all heretics perish at once; root out, break up and destroy the Proud Kingdom; hasten to make all peoples subject in our days."

At that very same time, on Good Friday, that "Prince of the Proud Empire" of Rome, the Pope, prays, and orders everyone in the world to pray for all 'heretics' and those who are 'lost,' as follows: "Let us pray for the perfidious Jews, that the Lord our God may take away the veil from their hearts, that they may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Omnipotent and Eternal God, who dost not even exclude Jewish perfidy from thy mercy, hear our prayers which we offer for the blindness of that people, that, having recognized the light of thy truth, which is Christ, they may come out of their darkness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. . ."
