They crucified Him as His Mother cried
at his feet, helpless to prevent His death.
And yet, He called out to God as He died
to forgive their souls, with His final breath.
His body was cleansed and placed in a tomb,
inline with Jewish practice at the time.
Wrapped in linen-cloth, with oils and perfume,
His mutilated corpse was made sublime.
Soldiers sealed the tomb up with a large stone,
placing guards to ensure that it stayed closed.
But on the third day, it moved, as though thrown,
and Christ rose, His Divinity disclosed.
Jesus died humiliated and scorned,
but no other death; was ever more mourned.

His two objectives unmet
Bibi approves the ‘deal’ he gets
from Trump, in an unconscionable rush
to bully Israel into a peace made of mush
For 15 months Bibi touted 'non-negotiable' goals
All hostages returned, and Hamas crushed
This ‘deal’ achieves neither, though lauded in the West
To Trump, Bibi caved, a paper tiger when pressed
Past time for Israel to assert itself on the world stage
Show itself and the world that it’s come of age
Vote Bibi out, along with his feckless friends
Elect someone brave, who neither breaks nor bends
Today's a Jewish Holiday
that fell prey to history
'Cos unless you live in Israel, the Jewish Nation
You miss out on spectacular celebrations...
In Ancient Persia 'twas an evil man
The Emperor* put a ring on his hand
And said, Do with the Jews as you would
If you say so, they're no good
Mordechai the Jew won't bow down to you?
Then kill them all, women and children too
So wicked Haman wrote a contract on their lives
Copies sent to 127 nations -- they all arrived
How the decree was averted is an amazing story
Yet history texts all ignore its glory...
I suppose the authors are one and the same
As those who extol Bogdan Khmelnytsky's name**
_________________________________________________
* The Persian Emperor's name was Xerxes 1, aka 'Ahasuerus'
**Starting in 1648, the Cossack Khmelnytsky led forces that
murdered nearly 50% of Europe's Jews, a greater percentage
than Adolf Hitler murdered during WW2. By all accounts, Mr.
Khmelnytsky was a vicious anti-Semite, hell-bent on genocide.
I stand amazed when I ponder from my weak mind a power so immense that it encompasses the universe. A power beyond all understanding radiating from God’s domain of Heaven. A power
so Holy that the Jewish Rabbis would not say his name except in rituals. A power without end yet a power with endless love for his creation, mankind. A power so vast that he knew us before we were born and knows us by name. a power defying logic and a Trinity that transcends all boundaries of imagination yet so personable that God begot his Son, though that Son, (John 1:1-3) was with God in the beginning and was God who stepped out of the God Head to become flesh and born of a woman. A power in full control of world events as evidenced when Jesus calmed the wind as in Mathew 8:23.
Then another essence of God, the Holy Spirit, who can live in man and the world at the same time,
and always waiting for the new believer to come forth and plead the acceptance of Jesus Christ in churches and lives all over the world in the same moment in time. Jesus, the Son who was willing to lay down his glory for his creation.
If not for Jesus, my thoughts alone would send me to hell. Hell is mentioned in the Bible more than Heaven.
God has no peers and is so Holy that he defined sin and set it apart so that believers and nonbelievers alike understand it. Sin cannot enter the presence of God.
Jesus is the only way, and it is through his blood and resurrection to attain salvation and not works, “Lest we boast.” Your goodness will not do it for you.
“I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me.” All other supposed ways are false gods and rotting in their graves and others mere manmade stone images leading the way to doom.
The God of the Christians is personable and when you accept Jesus as your Savior you will know he is real, for you will be aware of his Spirit. If you want to experience God, you can, just ask him to reveal himself to you and save you and take him at his word. You don’t have to clean yourself, he will clean you. You will still sin but you will strive not to.
I ponder these things and know that I’m not worthy of the promise, but I don’t have to understand, Just believe and accept the gift of Grace by faith and nothing.
The Soviets decided Israel must go.
So they distributed a book to each foe.
They knew it was faked, but it resonated
and it helped make Israel hated.
The book said the Jews were on a roll
Succeeding to rule us, succeeding to control
It called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
A forgery, used by a regime that was lying.
I talked online once with a Muslim
I told her of a sura that was hard to spin
"Israel is the land of the Jews" says the verse
She said as a Jew, I must be twisting the words.
She's entitled to her view that Israel should get the axe
But why the need to deny obvious facts?
Its there in the Koran, in black and white
She was twisting thought, so she could feel right.
Eve Barlow made some pro-Israel posts
Then got a phone call, saying in hell she should roast.
"Eve Fartlow" on "X" was the trend many chose.
and Gifs her of her face with a big nose.
But in a way, that's OK, it's a kind of expression
But there were also lies and misdirection
Tweets were made in her name
saying racist things; in effect she was framed
Those tweets are all over, as if they were new
But liars despise those they lie to.
Do propagandists really have to lie?
If they have a case, perhaps explain why.
There's so much dishonesty that's been sowed
If you have no anchor, you go down the wrong road.
Welcome to a world, so iced!
To another Auschwitz coming to life.
I want to scream and holler, when a
Jewish life means far less than a dollar.
Where synagogues are set afire!
And a Jew wearing a Yarmulke, is
beaten and left to holler!
In America, not just Israel, Jews are
considered less than human??
By the ignorant and hateful,who
live in race based filled brain squalor.
Christians are not free from hate!!
Meaning, you are loathed as well.
I can't even count their beheaded
numbers in Middle Eastern Hell.
Yes, this poem is not about lavender
and lace!
But it one about current hate, that is
openly in our face!
What will you do to make a difference?
Wake others~use your pen to save your
fellow man.
We cannot have Auschwitz ever again!

David Didn’t Require a Savior
It seems that God loved David so much.
Yet he destroyed a lot with his very touch.
He killed Uriah to have his wife,
Which resulted in a lifetime of strife.
A baby he lost.
A tremendous cost.
His son raped his daughter,
Which lead to his slaughter.
Absolom killed Amnon, their half brother.
And afterwards, resented their father.
In the uprising that ensued,
Absalom was subdued.
So are we being told that three children died,
Because David did not abide,
To the rules of his God, that he did not obey,
And the deaths reminded him on every day.
But God forgave him for his deed, of course,
When David begged forgiveness and showed remorse.
David didn’t need a savior,
To be back in his God’s favor.
And as there was not a mediator needed,
The Savior concept should be conceded.
But how was Uriah helped by all this?
He was wronged and lacked the bliss,
Of God’s justice for his death,
Once he had taken his last breath.
But the murderer, David, received God’s favor,
While the victim of the crime received disfavor.
And what of the baby that God did kill?
God kills babies and gets a thrill.
It says just that in Psalm 137 verse nine?
In that verse it’s more than just fine.
It’s a blessing to smash babies on a rock.
This is what God says. Not really a shock.
To kill a baby when you feel the need?
After all it’s only your enemy’s seed.
So God killed many babies in the Bible
And no one seems to hold Him liable.
Two nights from now
for the 3,337th time
Israel will tell the story
of her redemption
from Egypt
from generations of enslavement there
On that night there will be
suspense, screams and tears
rejoicing and Hallelujahs
tears of fear and relief
cries of jubilation after all these years
Even before you ask it
the answer to your question --
An aura surrounds Passover night
an aura of anticipation
of expectation
that God Himself
in all His glory
will wreak havoc
and judgment
on Pharaoh and Egypt
On her no-gods
on ‘Ra,’ her ‘mighty Sun-god’
on the Lamb, the ‘King of her gods’
for He will do so by cover of Night
slaying their every first-born
after Israel slaughters the Lamb
They came to me for Jewish names
A Russian-Jewish couple, not to blame
Where they were from, Hebrew was banned
As it had been throughout Communist lands
His name was Boris; hers was Bronya...
In a twinkle I said: "Greetings, Boruch and Bracha
Your new names are special; they each mean 'blessing'
No longer will either of you be guessing---"
They shushed me and smiled two wonderful smiles
As if they had just walked down the wedding aisle---
"We understand, Reb Gershon," Bracha joyfully said
"From all of our striving were these two names bred"
Boruch was blessed to have such a fine wife
His Bracha! ~ They together shared life
Gone I am..sure as the sea rolls over the bones of the deep
Gone is Tikvah, gone is hope, gone as so many Jewish brides
from history in the guises placed upon them by gentiles.
All who chose to remember at all, name me Typkia Friedberg..
Ah but, Hershel, my dear, was merely from the town of Friedberg.
Third class we were, entertainers not what either parents
had wanted for their kinderlekhs, there darling children.
When the warning horns sounded, we were entertaining the others.
Hershel with the wee piano on his back, and I
dancing and playing around him in a whirl of skirts.
The room was packed, the clink of beer mugs and laughter
All stilled slowly in disbelief as a clarion call of horn filled the room.
Eyes moments before full of life now haunted the space,
knowing not the way upward, out of the hidey-hole nest of the lower decks.
As the crowd surged from the room, hopelessly, we retreated
hand in hand yet we were torn apart.
Hershel fell and the crowds surged over him, crushing him piano and all
to the carpeted floor of the hall, mere steps from the stairwell.
He screamed for me to run. Eyes, hands, feet, knees elbows
no hope, no hope at all of any movement but upward with the throng.
Up one level I made it, clothes in tatters, scratched and bleeding
and then I too fell, under the boot heels of passengers.
I do not rest beside my Hershel, yet with my last breath, I cried
“Mother, mother you will never met him now.”
My dear, my heart, for before the Titanic ever sunk, we died.
*It has been said there was a newly married couple
the woman called Typkia Friedberg aboard the Titanic
but her name does not appear nor her husbands in the records.
Survivors spoke of the couple and the woman family from Chicago.
I do not believe the names are correct for Typkia is not a name
not a Jewish name but a word meaning journal, diary and Freidberg
is the town where the pianos for the Titanic were made.
Tikvah is a Jewish woman's name and means Hope.
Hershel means deer.
