over this weekend we should think about the the backwards suffering of religious jews next week. they insist on denying food and water at the oppositeof the joy in their calendar.
when they THEY will clebrate the happy day of "purim" the religious jews must first suffer and trick their teenagers into denial of food and water for a fast never decreed in the book of esther nor in rabbinic mishna!
such a cruel trick on teenagers.
at a time of joy the rabbis fool the teenagers into the opposite of joy= to suffer- and for what? did a prophet even decree it? no!
compare "esther 9.21 To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
compare it was established "feasting and joy" reversed to a fast denying food and water- not only absent from this "establishment" but the opposite of feasting and joy.
i point it out to jews and they say "still because esther fasted in the first month therefore we must fast in the 12 month"- yet even the rabbis in mishna never established this fast-day for that reason nor any other!admittedly the jews rejoice and not the rest of us but i point out the trick to teenagers who are not even aware or are tricked into suffering for nothing.
NEVER fast by date but rather at the time that you want to pray and then drink water because drinking water is needed every day! especialy if you think "a fast cleans" somehow, hence you need to rinse out with WATER!
summary of book of esther
instead of reading the whole book here is a summary
ester is divided into ten chapters the important issues are in the third chapter
before the the third chapter ester is appointed queen her name was hadasa 2.7 but she concealed her nation so she is called "ester" the hebrew for secret and we all forget her name. "2.7 he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter" then the king decreed 3.13 to slay=kill all the jews in his kingdom- because they have 3.8 a foreign religion. this is the most important part of the story because when a king decrees there is danger.
did the queen know? i am certain the queen knew! so i claim that chapter four is false and chauvinistic [2. Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's own gender] and from a chauvinistic rabbi. so esther invited 5.4 the king to a feast- and when he came and said what is your request she said 5.8 i want you to come to a feast tomorrow.
chapter 6 distracts from the nation's danger by exagerating the importance of the honor of the man mordecai as if it deserves the same detail as saving the nation- as chapter 4 this again is bad and chauvinistic.
the next day hadasa the queen 7.3 begged spare my life my nation is the one decreed and therefore the king punished 7 .10 his advisor and decreed that the jews should organize 8.11 and defend themselves.on the day that the jews were to be killed the jews defended against the enemy and had success- so the jews established a day of feast and joy.
sadly the rabbis reversed erasing the letter e! fast making suffering at a time of joy. they then obligated to drink too much wine to the point of "interfering thought" gasp
this is what religious jews talk about luckily most jews are secular i understand why!
