Aviad Cohen is sharing the Truth with the youth since 2005

Once I came to know Yahweh, the God of Israel in Truth and accepted His Son, Yeshua as my Messiah, I had a lot of questions. To be a Jew and believe in Jesus made more than just sense. It was True Jew, without a doubt. But what about all these Jewish traditions. Where did they come from? Were they just passed down traditions or did they come out of God's Word. I wanted to know. I have one life to live here on earth and before I go home to be with Yahweh, I had answers and once I found them, I wanted to share them with you. Some scholars, rabbis and others might disagree with me, but the bottom line is, "if it's not in the Scriptures, I don't want anything to do with it." Join me as I continue my journey on finding out what is True Jew and what are man's traditions that we should steer far away from.

Shabbat Candle Lighting = Kabbalah Witchcraft Article Exceprt: AskMoses.com / What Are Shabbat Candles by Rabbi Mendy Hecht 3. Get spiritual Here’s where the *magic* happens. With the candles lit, the Jewish woman goes Kabbalistic. (WHAT?) After drawing her hands inward three times to internalize (witchcraft incantation) the Shabbat spirit, (Hint: Invoking the demonic Spirit of the Shabbat Queen) she then covers her face with her hands and says the blessing. (Demonic Invocation) Shabbat has arrived. (The Jewish mother has now invited the demonic spirit of the Shabbat Queen into her household-what an absolute abomination to the God of Israel!) Source: http://www.askmoses.com/article/407,50/What-are-Shabbat-candles.html Aviad Cohen's concluding comment: I will not even post what the article continues to state. FYI: The God of Israel NEVER commands us to kindle the light of the Holy Shabbat. This is a lie from the devil. I am sick and tired of seeing my mother and other Jewish mothers (even some Messianic women who believe in Yeshua) practice this form of ancient witchcraft. Jewish women seem to always gravitate towards witchcraft of many sorts. If it's Kabbalah, New Age, Buddhism, sacrificing their babies to Baal (as mentioned in the Scriptures)...they need to repent and break generational curses and make sure to NEVER pass this down to the next generation. Sad thing is, some saved and even unsaved Jewish women will battle me on this and so will their husbands. Regardless, the proof is in the pudding...or in this case...the Kabbalah. Article Excerpt: During “Shabbat Across America!” Light Sabbath Candles in a Meaningful and Spiritual Way To help Jewish women realize the importance of lighting candles and to entice them (bewitch them) into lighting Shabbat candle on a regular basis, Amir teaches them to see themselves as “kohenet,” or *priestess* (found in Wicca) and to take on the Shabbat candle-lighting ritual as a spiritual practice. “Jewish women need to realize that as they touch match to wick on Friday night, they become priestesses fulfilling similar duties to those performed by the priests in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem,” she explains. “They are creating sacred space and invoking the Divine into that space. Also, they are welcoming 'Shabbat' and the ‘Shechinah’ (the Divine Feminine Presence).” (Wicca/New Age) Source: http://www.purespiritcreations.com/news/index.htm Aviad Cohen's concluding comment: If this does not even hint you to "Wicca" and witches...well I'll keep sharing more. Please note, the Scriptures do not point to ANY Divine Feminine Presence. That is witchcraft. Lighting Shabbat Candles in conducting Jewish Witchcraft. Let's move on... Watch how Chabbad manipulates its followers by stating that they are in actuality following the Torah commandments by lighitng the Shabbat candles, but when you click the footnotes of this article, the author is blatantly stating the commandments are coming from the Kabbalah or Shulchan Aruch - books that are an abomination to Yahweh and are NOT Torah. Article Excerpt: Three Levels of Femininity / A Kabbalistic Understanding of Candlelighting, by Asher Crispe In the commandments of the Torah, one finds numerous examples of gender distinction and difference. While many of the Torah’s commandments apply equally to all, there are, nonetheless, specific commandments that apply only to men or only to women. From the perspective of Kabbalistic and Chassidic analysis (since when are they authority?), each of the commandments (misleading here) has an inner dimension that reflects a hidden spiritual reality (demonic realm). Often this is referred to as the *mystical intention* (witchcraft), or kavanot that animates and inspires each of the commandments (misleading here).1 Footnote 1: Examples of Kabbalistic Kavanot behind each of the commandments can be found in numerous classical texts of *Kabbalah. Among these are Sha’ar Hakavanot and Pri Etz Chaim of R. Chaim Vital (both of which are a presentation of Lurianic Kabbalah). With this in mind, one can expect to find an articulation of the nature of gender expressed in the different commandments that are gender specific. One such example of a commandment (misleading here)* that is designated for women is the mitzvah of lighting Shabbat candles.2 Footnote 2: Although the requirement also falls upon men (says who?), the woman of the house lights on behalf of the family. Thus, this mitzvah is always associated with the spiritual service of women, and commandments particular to them. (This is not Torah based) For further details see Shulchan Arukh 263:3 and the Mishnah Berurah. (This makes it clear that this Kabbalah witchcraft practice does NOT even come from the Torah. It is NOT a commandment and is an abomination to the God of Israel. You have been been tricked by Jewish rabbis into practicing witchcraft). This gender specific act is exceptionally rich in its history (Jewish witchcraft history) of Kabbalistic interpretation and readily lends itself to a detailed depiction of the feminine, (Wicca and New Age) in general, and women, in particular.3 Footnote 3: Numerous sources in Kabbalah make the distinction between masculine and feminine, and gender male and female. See for instance Shiur Komah, ch. 18 of R. Moshe Cordovero. Often a feminine quality in women will be appropriated to describe the human condition in general or at times the relative feminine aspect within the male. See also Shir HaShirim and its *commentaries* (apparently Torah is not good enough - commentaries are a must according to these people) where the experience of the bride is often associated with the collective experience of the entire Jewish people, both male and female. Although a host of interpretations (not surprised, especially since they don't want to heed to Scripture) exist as to the inner significance of women lighting Shabbat candles, certain recurrent dimensions are continually emphasized. The following will present merely one fundamental set of reflections that are developed throughout Kabbalistic and Chassidic sources. Source: Chabbad.org / The Jewish Woman http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/371353/jewish/Three-Levels-of-Femininity.htm#footnote2a371353 Aviad Cohen's concluding comment: This article goes on, but the point is made clear. One word: Repent. Action: Toss out your Shabbat Candle paraphrenalia. If you are a Jew or Gentile and want to follow the God of Israel in Truth, why would you want to practice witchcraft, which is completely counter to having a relationship with the God of Israel? There are even some Messianic Jews and Gentiles who will choose to light the candles and recite another prayer that talks about how Yeshua is the light of the world. I think this is an absolute abomination. That is like taking a Ouija board and using it to glorify Yahweh. No way! You have been served with this information. It is now between you and Yahweh. The Scriptures state that you can not serve two masters. Stop serving Satan on the side. Kabbalah is Satanic witchcraft. Jewish Satanic Witchcraft. You are hearing this from a Kohan who has no time for games.
Shalom Aleichem Is A Demonic Kabbalah Anthem Here is the proof...I don't know what else you are going to need to convict you to stop chanting this demonic anthem Article Excerpt: Welcoming Shabbat - Shalom Aleichem In many Jewish homes, it is customary to sing Shabbat Table Songs (zemirot) upon returning home from the Shabbat-eve services, just before partaking of the Sabbath meal. One of the most popular and *beautiful* (demonic) of these is called Shalom Aleichem - “Peace be upon you.” Shalom Aleichem Lyrics Peace upon you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. Come in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. Bless me with peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. May you depart in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the Supreme King of Kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. The Talmud (Mas. Shabbat 119b) says, Two ministering angels accompany man on the eve of the Sabbath from the synagogue to his home, one a good [angel] and one an evil [one]. And when he arrives home and finds the lamp burning, the table laid and the bed covered with a spread, the good angel exclaims, ‘May it be even thus on another Sabbath [too],’ and the evil angel unwillingly responds ‘amen’. But if not, then the evil angel exclaims, ‘May it be even thus on another Sabbath [too],’ and the good angel unwillingly responds, ‘amen’. (This is demonic) Note: Shalom Aleichem was introduced by Kabbalists in the 17th century, who wrote it in response to the foregoing midrash from the Talmud. Since it is based on the idea of communicating directly to angels, most Christians would reject the mysticism (witchcraft) associated with the words of this song as bad theology. Nevertheless, the hauntingly beautiful melody makes it a favorite Sabbath song for many. (Disgusting to even see this article's author attach "beauty" to such a Satanic anthem that hypnotises all who it bewitches, including Gentiles.) Source: http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Blessings/Shabbat_Blessings/Shalom_Aleichem/shalom_aleichem.html Aviad Cohen's concluding comments: Why this Christian who wrote the article didn't even write that Jews should not sing it, well that is beyond me. Consider that Christian compromise. They should witness to Jews about this witchcraft anthem and show them it's origin. Obvisously MANY Jews worship this song rather than their Creator and the likes of telling many of them the true origin of this song and how it is witchcraft-based, well let's just say that it might cause their demons to rage out of control. The same goes for Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles who have this song as an idol before the God of Israel. If you have sung this song and are convicted by this expose, please repent, ask Yeshua Messiah into your life and begin to walk with the God of Israel in Truth. As far as this song goes, you might have a CD that has it. Destroy it or just make a new CD minus that song. Why would you want a witchcraft anthem in your praise and worship collection? Think about it. Better idea...do something about it. Chabbad.org further proves my point Ask The Rabbi: The Shalom Aleichem Hymn Explained by Dovid Zaklikowski Source: http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/560665/jewish/The-Shalom-Aleichem-Hymn-Explained.htm
You Will Never See Me Wear This "Magic Jewish" Star The God of Israel said in His Word: "But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your elohim, which ye made to yourselves." Amos 5:26 in the Tanach You are going to flip over this one...because it's true...and you will find out that the star is NOT for Jew. Many unsaved and Messianic Jews consider the "Jewish Star" a symbol of "their identity" as God's chosen people, yet they are in serious deep denial of it's true roots, which is an abomination to the God of Israel. Even if some scholars will twist whatever they can to prove this to be a legit symbol of Israel, the Holy Spirit tells me it is truly demonic and the facts prove it. Jewish people WORSHIP this star and so do many Gentile believers who are into the Hebrew roots of their faith. This is not appropriate at all. Before I even get into the meaty part of this, let's look at how rabbis answer this on AskMoses.com Article Excerpt: ASKMOSES.com / What is the meaning of the Star of David? by Rabbi Tzvi Shapiro Surprisingly, while this star seems to be a universally accepted symbol of Judaism (and a lucrative source of income for many Judaica gift shops) (Sell outs!) it has no known source in Judaism. That's right; there is no mention of it in classic Jewish literature and its origins and meaning remain a subject of speculation until this very day. Source: http://www.askmoses.com/article/224,2144427/What-is-the-meaning-of-the-Star-of-David.html Aviad Cohen's concluding comments: Jewish rabbis are even stating this on a Jewish website. They are giving it away and people are just not listening. They are even admitting this publicly. Article Excerpt: Britannica Online Encyclopedia / Star of David Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star. It appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the State of Israel. The symbol—which historically was not limited to use by Jews—originated in antiquity, when, side by side with the five-pointed star, it served as a magical sign or as a decoration. In the Middle Ages the Star of David appeared with greater frequency among Jews but did not assume any special religious significance; it is found as well on some medieval cathedrals. The term Magen David, which in Jewish liturgy signifies God as the protector (shield) of David, gained currency among medieval Jewish mystics (Jewish practicers of witchcraft), who attached magical powers to King David’s shield just as earlier (non-Jewish) magical traditions had referred to the five-pointed star as the “seal of Solomon.” Kabbalists popularized the use of the symbol as a protection against evil spirits. The Jewish community of Prague was the first to use the Star of David as its official symbol, and from the 17th century on the six-pointed star became the official seal of many Jewish communities and a general sign of Judaism, though it has no biblical or Talmudic authority. The star was almost universally adopted by Jews in the 19th-century as a striking and simple emblem of Judaism in imitation of the cross of Christianity. The yellow badge that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe invested the Star of David with a symbolism indicating martyrdom and heroism. Source: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/152589/Star-of-David Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: No Biblical or Talmudic authority. This is a mystical witchcraft symbol. Why are you wearing it? But wait, we'll get more into that soon. Article Excerpt: The Star of David / Magen David Although scholars have attempted to trace the Star of David back to King David himself; to Rabbi Akiva and the Bar Kokhba ("son of the star") rebellion (135 C.E.); or to kabbalists, especially Rabbi Isaac Luria (16th century), no Jewish literature or artifacts document this claim. Rather, all evidence suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to "practical Kabbalah," (witchcraft) that is, Jewish magic* (witchcraft), probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this symbol with the "Seal of Solomon," *the magical signet signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits.** Although the original ring was inscribed with the Tetragrammaton, the sacred Four-Letter Name of God, medieval amulets imitating this ring substituted the hexagram or pentagram (five-pointed star), often accompanied by rampant lions, for the sacred Name. The star inscribed on these rings was usually called the "Seal of Solomon."* Source: http://www.menorah.org/starofdavid.html Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: Read the entire article. This is not just an idol. It's a witchcraft amulet. And you thought it was hard to clean your house for Passover. Try combing over your home and finding all the things you have which contain this symbol of witchcraft. Take it up with the God of Israel and see what He wants you to do with all this. As for me, no way do I allow this in my home, and if I ever get married, my wife will never wear one either, neither will our children. It's a curse on the Jewish people. Look at the Israeli flag and then look at how unrighteous, idolatrous and perverted Israel has become. That star means more to them than God does. They worship the land of Israel more than th God of Israel. Get the point? Idolatry is of the devil. We're not done with this topic at all. We've seen a Jewish rabbi's statement, the Brittanica enyclopedia's statement, now an article which points to it's Kabbalistic origin....now let's move on. The Six Pointed Star by Dr. O.J. Graham The Six-Pointed Star is going into its fourth edition. There have been thousands of letters over the years and comments are available upon request. The questions which are asked of this author are: What made you even remotely curious that the six-pointed star might not be "Jewish"? After all, it is called the "Star of David" and has it not become the international insignia of Jewishness and the State of Israel? The controversy and the challenge are answered in the book. The quest began at York University, Ontario, Canada, when an Orthodox Jewish friend of mine was investigating Messianic Judaism. Our intellectual conversation covered many topics which included the so-called Star of David, which he said he did not use as the symbol G-d really gave the children of Israel was the seven-branched Menorah. Being a journalist, he challenged me to explore the six-pointed star. And I accepted the challenge, with the plan that I would prove its Jewishness. After all, I wore one and felt I had to defend it, even to him. That was the summer of 1979 and the research took me four years to complete. I found a few Jews who knew it was not Jewish, and these are mentioned in the book. Others did not think about it, and most did not care whether it was orignially occult or not - they did not think it mattered. I checked Jewish sources and all their encyclopaedias attested that it was not originally Jewish and was not used as the symbol for any of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jewish sources said it wasn't originally Jewish. So, what was it? That took four years of research. From archive to archive, library to library...history book to history book. The first mention of the star was in Amos 5:26 regarding the trek from Egypt to Canaan. Then in 922 B.C., when Solomon married the daughter of Pharoah and went into magic and witchcraft and built an altar to Ashtoroth and Moloch. The book traces the six pointed star from Egypt to Solomon, to Arab Magic and Witchcraft, to Druid use(references are documented). The book traces the star through Freemasonry usage to Mayer Amschel Bauer, who, in the 17th century, changed his name to depict the red six-pointed star (or shield) which he had hung on his door in Germany, and thus began the family of "Red Shield" or Rothschild. The research carried on through this family, to their court of arms, to Cabala, to Astrology, to Hitler and his putting a yellow six-pointed star on all Jews during the holocaust, to the Zionist symbol, and finally to the flag of the State of Israel and beyond. Because this symbol is comprised of a six within a six within a six (6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides of the hexagon in the middle) the research also included a look at the 666 prophecies in the Book of Daniel etc., regarding the "wilful King" (anti-Christ) and the "mark of the beast". The Scriptural significance of the number seven and a Biblical description of the real Messiah and the seven-branched Candlestick (Menorah) which God gave to the children of Israel as an everlasting covenant (which is also mentioned in the New Testament) is covered. All the sources are written at the bottom of each page making it easy for readers to see and check for themselves. I started out to defend this symbol, but ended up shocked and quite devasted with the evidence gleaned from the academic research. It is the only book on the origin and history of the six-pointed star or hexagram. Have a good read, check the references yourself, and I would be happy to hear your comments. All the best to you August 16, 1999 Dr. O.J.

Amulets Are An Abomination...You'd Be Surprised Which Ones You Have I personally do not have a Mezzuzzah on my door. I do not wear Tefillin. There is nothing in the Scriptures that SPECIFICALLY details these objects. The God of Israel is SPECIFIC. Article Excerpt: Encyclopedia Mythica / Amulet by Rabbi Geoffrey W. Dennis AMULET Hebrew: Kamia, "binder." An amulet or charm is an apotropaic object or device, usually with writing on it, which provides prophylaxis against harm, whether of natural or supernatural origin. The use of amulets and charms is virtually universal across human cultures and across time, and Jews are no exception. Jewish amulets have been used to ward off a variety of ills: disease, mishap, sorcery, and/or malevolent spirits. They can also serve as love charms. (WHAT?) They have been particularly used by Jews to protect women during pregnancy and to shield newborn infants. (That is DEMONIC! Please repent, ask Yeshua Messiah into your life and get deliverance for both you AND your child) Amulets take many forms throughout the different periods of Jewish history. The use of amulets to ward off evil spirits and/or disease was pervasive in the cultures that surrounded ancient Israel, and numerous examples of Canaanite, Phoenician, Assyrian, and Egyptian origin have been recovered. The use of amulets by Biblical Israelites is specifically criticized in Is. 3:18-20. (AMULETS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE GOD OF ISRAEL) It is unclear from the context whether amulets qua amulets are being condemned (Love charms? Figure it out. Doubt the God of Israel is happy seeing His children wearing witchcraft objects), or whether they are merely included in a list of vanities and luxuries associated with women. Only two physical examples of amulets from the Biblical era have been uncovered so far. The first is a tomb inscription found at Khibet el Qom dating to the 8th Century BCE asking for the protection of YHWH and his asherah (Asherah is Ashterah...it is not anything to do with Yahweh (YHWH) the God of Israel...this rabbi doesn't know his own Scriptures). The second is also a tomb artifact, but this one consisting of two rolled up copper plates inscribed with the Priestly Blessing (Num. 6:24-25) found at Ketef Hinnom and dating from the 7th Century. Evidence for the use of amulets grows dramatically post-Biblically. II Maccabees 12:40 reports disapprovingly of slain Jewish warriors found wearing amulets with foreign gods inscribed on them. Again, it is unclear whether the author objects to talismans in general or to just these synchronistic examples. Of course, the tefillin worn by Jews on the head and arm to fulfill (what?) the commandment (Deut. 6:8) (That is a rabbinic interpretation. The God of Israel did NOT state ANYWHERE in His Word to SPECIFICALLY make boxes with black leather straps and include Scripture in them, selll them for $600 and up and make Jews painfully and tightly strap them onto their arms and foreheads each day, reciting vain liturgy. This is a man-made tradition and keeps people in BONDAGE. Even Yeshua Messiah addresses the Pharisees about this. Sad thing is, many Messianics choose to wear this amulet. I will have nothing to do with this.) are regarded as having talismanic properties by some Jews (These rabbis are so foolish to give away the truth behind their lies they have kept people in bondage with. Now I bring it to you, fresh like challah bread), thought that is not their authoritative function (The Tefillin have NO authorotative function). The standard Greek translation for tefillin, "phylactery," highlights this perception. Likewise, in some circles the mezuzah is regarded as a charm against misfortune (Are you starting to wake up about all this or what?). Source: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/amulet.html Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: All this I say with love. I have been in Judeo-bondage my entire life and now that I am free and serve the God of Israel in TRUTH, I am not doing this stuff and will not pass this down to the next generation. It's just blatantly wrong and dishonest. The fact that many Messianic Jews and even Messianic Gentiles who want to be "Jewish" hold on to these man-made traditions, I think that is insane. It's one thing to be an unsaved Jew and be blind to all this. It's another thing to know the God of Israel in Truth, walk with Yeshua Messiah and STILL do these things. I'm not here to judge anybody, but this is the new generation. Some of you might hate me, some might love me, some of you might want to kill me, I don't care. I'm just telling it like it is. You can never call me an anti-semite, when I am exposing the reality of these topics. If they make you uncomfortable, it's not my fault. The truth about the lies is hard to face. As a Jewish people, we must REGROUP through Yeshua Messiah, drop our man-made traditional idolatry and start worshipping the God of Israel, instead of the land of Israel. I'm not done. Look at some of these demonic Jewish amulets being sold today. I will not email links to where I found the texts for these amulets being sold, but will just post the information from the online stores. KING DAVID STAR GOLDEN KABBALAH AMULET FOR SUCCESS $18.00 Here's another 24K golden plated amulet which I am selling here on (Company name withheld). This amulet's secrets are based upon an ancient Kabala manuscript which as far as I know has NOT been published yet going back to the Iraqi Bavli Sage the Ben Ish Hai who was the Chief Rabbi of Bagdad. The purpose of this amulet is to keep the owner safe from road accidents, the evil eye, victory and general success in business and in life. WOW! All that rolled up in one! Inside the center of this talisman you will find the various Names of G-d in various permutations. (They don't even know the God of Israel, since they never knew His Son) On the outermost rim of the circle there are Names of various Angels such as Uriel, Raphael, Nuriel, Azriel, Michael etc. I suppose these are the various powers that come to one's aid when he needs their help. The amulet is attributed to King David which is why it is in the shape of a star of David. (Apparently this guy realizes that the Star of David is Kabbalistic as well - yet it truly has NOTHING to do with King David) *********WARNING!!!**** WHY IS THIS AMULET SPECIAL? What you are buying is not just a piece of goldplated metal. I have seen how these amulets are made by G-d fearing people in Jerusalem. (If these were God fearing people, they would NOT make amulets. The only real *WARNING!!* should be, don't put on this demonic amulet!) Before every press that these amulets come from, a special prayer (witchcraft spell) is said by the man who makes it with Kabbalistic thoughts. (Praise Yahweh for showing me this information so I can share it with everyone around the world, in order to warn them about this) Other types of amulets from what I saw, are made of all places in CHINA! How many Kabbalists do you think the Chinese have?! In order for an amulet to work and to bring its desired result to the owner, the person who made it should be not only a G-d fearer, but a person steeped in the ancient secret lore of the Kabalah. (In other words, the person who designs this needs to be a Jewish warlock or witch. As for the God fearing part, Jewish warlocks and witches are not God fearing. They are Satan serving haters of the God of Israel and His TRUE children who serve Him through His Son, Yeshua Messiah. Only thus can one hope for some help from the use of these amulets. Source: I'd rather not reveal this one. Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: In Israel, the USA and abroad, SO MANY JEWS and perhaps non-Jews have these things on them, in their cars, homes, etc. This is disgusting. Let's talk about that Chamsa witchcraft symbol next. To Hell With The Hamsa....Well That's It's Origin If Anything The Hamsa (خمسة, Khamsa, literally "five", חמסה, Khamsa) is a symbol used in amulets, charms and jewelry to protect against the "evil eye." An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima or Eye of Fatima, in reference to Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammed. An alternative Jewish name is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. It is a kind of "protecting hand" or "hand of God". Some associate the significance of the five fingers to the five books of the Torah for Jews, the Five Pillars of Islam for Sunnis, or the five People of the Cloak for Shi'ites. This symbolism may have evolved at a later stage, in view of the fact that archaeological evidence suggests the hamsa predates both religions. In recent years some activists for Middle East peace have chosen to wear the hamsa as a symbol of the similarities of origins and tradition between the Islamic and Jewish faiths. (Compromise) The fingers can point up or down. Hamsas are popular as charms and decorations in Israel and are not considered to have any Islamic connection other than the Arabic name. Among Jews, fish are considered to be a symbol of good luck (Luck=mystical witchcraft), so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and necklaces. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh'ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer).

This is how it is promoted (source withheld): Hamsa Kabbalah Protection Healing Prosperity Talisman Product Details - This Hamsa Hand amulet is made from a .925 Sterling Silver Hamsa. It is decorated with a 14ct gold plated Hamsa. Inscribed on the hamsa are the Hebrew letters: 'Aleph Lamed Dalet', 'Mem Hey Shin' and 'Samech, Alef, Lamed'. The Hamsa measures approx. 22mm (0.87 inches) in height and comes on a 40cm Sterling silver (hallmarked) box chain. Hamsa - For Protection against the Evil Eye - The Hamsa Hand is one of the original protective signs. It is believed that the one who wears it or hangs it in his house, will be protected from the Evil Eye and it will bring positive energy, happiness, prosperity and health. The Hamsa (root means "five") symbolizes the Creators protective hand. 72 Names of God - There are three Hebrew letter combinations on this Kabbalah pendant: Aleph Lamed Dalet - This combination, also known as 'Looks can kill', can be used for protection against the Evil Eye Mem, Hey, Shin - It is believed that this three Hebrew letter combination brings the owner the energy of Healing. Samech, Alef, Lamed - connects to and brings the wearer the energy of Prosperity and Good Fortune. Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: This is sickening. Parents even buy these Satanic pendants for their children to wear and the majority of homes in Israel and many in the USA and abroad have this handing in their homes, cars, etc. This is Satanic. The Red Kabbalah String Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comments: I didn't even have to begin on this one. Madonna, Britney, Demi, Ashton and everyone who is into Kabbalah wears it. Both Jew and Gentile. People of all ages. It's an abomination to the God of Israel. Take it off, destroy it, ask Yeshua Messiah into your life, ask the God of Israel to forgive you for putting on this witchcraft amulet or any of the others. Get deliverance from this and ever other form of witchcraft and iolatry you have been involved in. Tefillin Article Excerpt: MileChai.com / Tefillin - Gasot - Dakot - Mehudar / Earliest Form Tefillin resembled amulets in their earliest form, strips of parchment in a leather case, which is called either "bag" or "little house." Tefillin and "keme'ot" are, in fact, often mentioned side by side (Shab. vi. 2; Miḳ. vi. 4; Kelim xxiii. 9; et al.), and were liable to be mistaken one for the other ('Er. x. 1 et al.). As in the case of the Torah roll, the only permissible material was parchment, while the "mezuzah" was made of a different kind of parchment (Shab. viii. 3 et al.); for this reason a discarded tefillah could be made into a mezuzah, but not vice versa (Men. 32a). It was made square, not round (Meg. iv. 8). The head-tefillah consisted of four strips in four compartments, while the hand-tefillah consisted of one strip. The former could be made out of the latter, but not vice versa; and they were independent of each other. In the Diaspora and Post-Talmudic Times Although the tefillin were worn throughout the day, not only in Israel but also in Babylon, the custom of wearing them did not become entirely popular; and during the Diaspora they were worn nowhere during the day. But it appears from the Letter of Aristeas and from Josephus that the tefillin were known to the Jews of the Diaspora. At this time it may have become customary (it's not a Bblical mandate) to wear them only during prayer, traces of this custom being found in Babylon (Men. 36b). In France in the thirteenth century they were not generally worn even during prayer. The difference of opinion between Rashi (d. 1105) and his grandson Jacob Tam (d. 1171) in regard to the arrangement of the four sections indicates that no fixed custom in wearing them had arisen. Rashi and Tam's tefillin are referred to; scrupulously pious persons put on the tefillin of R. Tam after prayer. There were differences of opinion between the Spanish and the German Jews in regard to the knot in the strap (see illustrations in Surenhusius, cited below). Source: http://www.milechai.com/judaism/tefillin.html I am not done with this reference, but let's hop to Scripture first: Deuteronomy: 6:4-8 6:4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh is our Elohim, Yahweh is one: 6:5 And thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. Exodus 13:9,16 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that Yahweh's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath Yahweh brought thee out of Egypt. 13:16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt. Now let's return to the same MileChai.com source: Tefillin, also called phylacteries, are leather objects used in Jewish prayer (vain repetitive liturgy is not prayer), containing Biblical verses (and a whole bunch of "other stuff"). They are an essential part of morning prayer services, and are worn on a daily basis (except Sabbath and festivals) by many Jews. The origin of wearing tefillin comes from the Torah (five books of Moses), in Deuteronomy 6:8, 11:18; Exodus 13:9, 16. (I just posted the Scriptures they are referring to. There is NO MENTION of "Tefillin" a/k/a black boxes and black straps...this is not mentioned in the Scriptures. They are lying when they tell you this. Why do you buy the lie? Because you don't bother to investigate for yourself.) While these passages were interpreted literally by most commentators (compare, however, the view of the Karaites, Abraham ibn Ezra, and Rashbam on Exodus 13:9), the Rabbis held that the general law only was expressed in the Bible, the application and elaboration of it being entirely matters of the oral law (fraud). The earlier tannaim (rabbis of the Mishnah) described their views of the tefillin in the Mishnah and Talmud. (Of course...this is a rabbinic man-made tradition that is NOT REQUIRED and in actuality is an amulet. This is not of God at all.) (Talmud references: Menachot 34b; Zeb. 37b; Sanhedrin 4b; Rashi and Tosafot ad loc. ) Source: http://www.milechai.com/judaism/tefillin.html Here is the cherry on top....what Yeshua Messiah BLATANTLY states about the scribes and Pharisees: Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries**, and enlarge the borders of their garments
Havdallah...Kabbalah....Next! I always knew there was something wrong with this religious practice. Article Excerpt From: Chabbad.org / Shabbat The Incense and Candle, by Naftali Silberberg Incense In the course of the havdalah ceremony, we sniff at besamim -- aromatic herbs, spices, or fruit (whole cloves are very popular). With the entry of each Shabbat, the soul of every Jew is uplifted by the presence of a neshamah yeteira, an additional spiritual dimension, a "Shabbat Soul." (Are these people insane? This is demonic!) With the departure of Shabbat and the arrival of another mundane work week, this neshama yeteira departs, leaving behind a gloomy soul. (This is insane!) According to kabbalah, of all the five senses, smell is the only one which impacts the soul. The fragrant smell of the besamim comforts and soothes the soul at its most difficult juncture of the week. Source: http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/610826/jewish/The-Incense-and-Candle.htm Aviad Cohen's Concluding Comment: There is more to this article and it is insane. I always knew that Havdalah was witchcrafty. Nobody says anything. Now there are also tons of Messianic Jews trying to prove they are still Jewish by practicing these Satanic rituals that many unsaved Jews practice. Even worse, some Messianic Gentiles who want to be more Jewish practice these things. This is a travesty!
None of what these rabbis say makes sense. They point to Scripture but the Scripture does not support their stance and they consider the Oral Law to be THE LAW OVER THE TORAH. People, you don't need mixed dishes and you can eat meat and milk. In Genesis 18:2,7,8, Abraham showed hospitality to visitors by feeding them butter, milk, and a calf he had killed. Note that Abraham offered them - and they ate - not just dairy products (butter and milk), but also red meat (beef - veal) which he had killed. 18:2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 18:7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 18:8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. (Aviad's comment: This is more than likely something rabbis DO NOT want to discuss. It's called the Torah. They just don't want to heed to God's Word, but rather to ENSLAVE people into their own wacked out rules. So here is what these "rabbis" say. Just notice their trickery of stating God says this and that in Torah, but none of what they quote shows God commanding not to literally eat milk and meat. These rabbis are CROOKS!) MILK AND MEAT The Torah doesn’t say not to eat meat and milk; it just says don’t eat a kid in its mother’s milk? http://www.askmoses.com/article/136,2134038/The-Torah-doesn-t-say-not-to-eat-meat-and-milk-it-just-says-don-t-eat-a-kid-in-its-mother-s-milk.html#footnoteReference3 by Rabbi Shlomie Chein Question: Why should I follow the Rabbinic rules of Kosher since the Torah does not mention even a tenth of the Kosher rules? If somehow we could read the Torah as it was written, in its normal context, we could save a lot of money and time - there would be no need to purchase two sets of ...... you pick! "Do not eat a kid goat in its mother's milk" is far from having two sets of dishes, cooking utensils, refrigerators, etc. Answer: 1. The Torah doesn't say to fast on Yom Kippur1. The Torah doesn't define Tefillin or Mezuzot2. The Torah doesn't require synagogues or services.3 What does this tell you? It tells you that if you are looking for the details of Torah law in the Torah, you are looking in the wrong place (Aviad's comment: OH REALLY?); and if you are only looking in the Torah you are only seeing about 10% of what the Torah actually wants. (Aviad's comment: These rabbis are evil. How can they blatantly state such a thing. They claim rule over God's Word. That's Satanic.) Ignoring the Oral Torah and insisting that all you need is the Written Torah, is like trying to follow a manual by only reading its index. (Aviad's comment: These guys are Sataninsts. They are blatantly telling you they do not follow God.) 2. The Torah doesn't say "do not eat a kid goat". The Torah says Gdi, which in Biblical Hebrew is a young animal (sheep, cow or goat).4 3. The Torah does not (necessarily) say "in its mother's milk". (Aviad's comment: Yes it does) In the Hebrew original there are no vowels and the word Chalav (milk) can just as easily be read Cheilev (fat), which would mean "do not cook a kid in its mother's fat". It is only the Oral tradition that tells us to read it as milk. And it is that same oral tradition that tells us the full extent of that law. [Aviad's comment....read this Scripture: Leviticus 6:21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto Yahweh. Numbers 31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.] 4. The concept of dishes is actually written in the Torah, albeit not in the context of Milk and Meat. The Torah does state clearly that dishes take on the same status as the food they were used for.5 Hence if a dish was used for meat, it takes on the status of meat and cannot be used with dairy. Leviticus 6:21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto Yahweh. Numbers 31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. (Aviad's comment, they refer to the above Scriptures, that DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR ARGUMENT AT ALL.) 5. I mean, in all honesty, does it really make sense to say it was some kind of conspiracy? Are we to believe that from the day Moses gave the Jews the Torah they were eating all meat with dairy, except for young animals in their mother's milk, and then one day a bunch of pious scholars sat down and said "hey, what the heck, let's prohibit all meat and dairy"? And if that is not a ludicrous theory in its own right, are we really to believe that the “stiff necked” Jewish community, including the hundreds of thousands of analytical scholars of any given era, wouldn't call their bluff? Who are we ‘kidding’! (Aviad's comment: This rabbi is kidding himself, believing that he is being obedent to God. He's a Satanist. It's either you stand with God or against God. He stands with rabbis who claim to be rulers OVER GOD. That's evil.) DISHES Why must a Kosher home have two sets of dishes? http://www.askmoses.com/article/146,1337/Why-must-a-Kosher-home-have-two-sets-of-dishes.html by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg The Torah1 prohibits cooking milk and meat together, or partaking of a dish which contains these two ingredients which were cooked together.2 (Aviad's comment: LIE. It says do not boil a calf in it's mothers milk. Take the WORD or leave it.) Obviously, the Torah is concerned that milk should not absorb the taste of meat or vice versa. (Aviad's comment: Not at all. There is nothing in the Word about this. These guys are LYING. These are evil maipulators.) At first glance one might think taste is only absorbed in and through foods. However, the Torah maintains that taste/food absorption applies to dishes as well3. Thus once dishes have absorbed the flavor of either meat loaf or pizza (for example), that plate, pan, fork etc maintains a meat or dairy flavor. For this reason you must have two sets of dishes to ensure that you don't end up preparing/eating a meat dish on dairy dishes or vice versa. Exodus 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of thy Elohim. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Deuteronomy 14:21 Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto thy Elohim. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Leviticus 6:21 In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto Yahweh. Numbers 31:23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. (None of the above Scripture they link to EVEN SUPPORTS THEIR STANCE. NONE OF IT!) WAITING PERIOD How long must I wait between eating meat and dairy, and vice versa? http://www.askmoses.com/article/146,1338/How-long-must-I-wait-between-eating-meat-and-dairy-and-vice-versa.html#footnote1 by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg After eating meat or fowl, one must wait six hours before consuming dairy products. The rabbis concluded that it takes a full six hours for meat to be completely digested, and for all traces of the meat to dislodge from between the teeth. After ingesting dairy it is permitted to eat immediately as long as the person washes his or her hands and rinses his mouth well. The common custom, however is to wait half an hour or an hour after eating dairy.1 (Aviad's comment: CUSTOM? Since when has that become LAW? This is evil, what they have done. Manipulating and enslaving people. This is worse than a bad camp joke. Satan is laughing all the way to hell with this.) After eating certain cheeses, such as aged or fine Swiss cheeses, one must wait six hours before eating meat or fowl. One must also recite the appropriate after-blessing on the dairy product before (reciting the blessing for, and) consuming a meat dish -- and vice versa too. Footnotes * 1. Whether you wait a half hour or one hour depends on which Halachic opinions you follow. Askmoses.com is just offering general Jewish information; for your specific custom of practice consult with your local Halachic authority. (Aviad's comment: Thank these control freaks for letting us know that the waiting time is "Halachic" man-made law oriented. People, that is NOT God's Word, it is theirs. Do you want freedom in Yahweh or ensalvement through rabbinic torutre and control?) Why can't I eat meat and milk together? by Rabbi Mendy Hecht A. The Torah states1, "Do not cook a kid in its' mother's milk". http://www.askmoses.com/article/146,276/Why-cant-I-eat-meat-and-milk-together.html#footnote2 B. From this prohibition (Negative Mitzvah #187, to be exact), (Aviad's comment: WHAT?) The Rabbis derived the Halachah (Jewish law) that any meat product may not be eaten with any dairy product. (From the same passage is derived Negative Mitzvah #186, which separately prohibits cooking, baking or otherwise mixing meat and dairy products together.) (Aviad's comment: Sounds more like a legal case than God's Word. Wake up and smell the challah. You've just been had if you follow their crazy insane laws that are not God-based.) C. So what's so terrible about eating meat and milk together? What's G-d's problem with it? We don't begin to know the whole of it, and we are glad to do it as a Divine decree!2 (Aviad's comment: LIE! There is NO DIVINGE DECREE! How dare they state this. Evil.) Nonetheless, some insight into this decree has been shed and here is a Kabbalistic perspective: milk symbolizes life and meat symbolizes death, and combining the two creates a spiritual clash in the celestial realms both of your soul and in the worlds beyond us. (Aviad's comment: You just done did it now. KABBALAH? Oh smack! That's demonic. The following info is a bunch of absolute stupidity, made up by rabbis. Why are you following these people? Are you insane....like them?) How do I avoid eating meat and milk together? 1. Segregation in the Service Not eating meat and milk together begins with avoiding situations that might bring the two together in the first place. So start with a Kosher kitchen--such a place contains two separate countertop workspaces, and two separate closet spaces each containing a complete set of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans and utensils. According to physics (and you can ask Julia Child about this), metals (and certainly woods) can "absorb" and become impregnated with the "flavors" or residues of the foods prepared with or in them. Thus, your favorite meat stew pot may not be used to make real hot cocoa (which calls for hot milk), because the cocoa milk would have meaty overtones. Additionally, you'll need separate ovens, microwaves and stovetop burners for meat and dairy products, respectively. (Many kosher kitchens simply have two separate ovens.) 2. Take Your Time After enjoying a hearty pastrami sandwich or any other meat product, halachah rules (Aviad's comment: That's not even God's Law) that you must wait a minimum of six hours before falling upon your beloved mozzarella. Here, human biology comes into play: since it takes the stomach about six hours to fully digest the proteins known as meats, if any dairy product enters the stomach during that time, the stomach will process and churn both foods together. Jewish law considers this to be eating meat and milk together, so do hold off on the pizza if you've just wolfed down a steak. The situation generally works the same in reverse--you must wait some time after dairy stuff before you eat meat. Some dairy products wend their way through the digestive system faster, so one would only have to wait a few minutes, or an hour, after eating them before moving on to meat. Some cheeses, though, like aged or fine Swiss cheeses, do take six hours to fully break down and absorb into the body, so you may have to wait that long for your pastrami sandwich if you just enjoyed some fine Wisconsin fare. 3. Ask a Rabbi There are tons of culinary situations that arise in the frenzied, messy madness we know as home cooking--with a rabbinical response for each. What if you put a milk-only fork in a bubbling pot full of hot dogs? How about if you baked some Eggplant Parmesan in your meat oven? That's just a rabbi is for, and it should come as no surprise that two of the four huge sections of halachah whose knowledge is de regeur for rabbi wannabes deal exclusively with meat and milk issues. So if you've got a question about your kosher kitchen, either AskMoses or contact your local Chabad rabbi via chabad.org. Footnotes * 1. Exodus 23:19, 34:26 and Deuteronomy 14:21 * 2. Although many have attempted to posit rational explanations for the dietary laws – it’s healthier, cleaner, more humane, etc. – the truth is that the Torah did not forbid certain foods while permitting others based on any logic at all. The laws of kashrut are quite purely based on Divine decree. (Aviad's colosing comments: These rabbis are insane. If you buy their lie, you own stock in Satanism. COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!)
