Dance Rabbi, Dance!
Tonight is Shavuot and I don't care to talk to you about it at all.
There is no honor in being a Rabbi today.
I never used the title but when necessary even when there was honor in it, but today there is none.
והאמת והשלום אהבו
— Zachariah 8:19
I should first dispell any notion that I am either a self-hating Jew or a bleeding heart liberal.
I am the continuation of Menachem Begin and Hillel Kook.
That out of the way we can start where we should: אמת.
And here I will only address Orthodox Jews, other Jews do not have the terminology or learning necessary to even understand what the word means.
Orthodox Judaism writ large cares nothing for The Truth.
Were Rambam not how they literally put bread on the table his books would all be burned in every Kollel. He was, to state it clearly, by their lights, an Apikoires.
On to Shalom. It means much more than “peace”. It means even more than structuring society in such a way that no one is treated as less than.
But we can start there.
I have chased Emet from the Gehennom to the literal peak of Mount Sinai, and in all the books, and by tracking down any potential critic.
As for Shalom, it doesn't need you to chase it. It chases you if you let it.
I have lived among all of the various peoples most prone to hate me — from living as the only Jewish White Man in an all black neighborhood in Brooklyn, to living as the only public Jew in Egypt.
And I have found Shalom to be easy.
On Sinai, one year ago tonight, which I climbed - of course - without aid of animal or light, I discovered no message. I sought and sought what fixable failings or ignorance I may yet have, and found none.
The message was already given. It was given clearly and many times over. I sought and I had found what was true and my fault was in not saying so.
So today I am saying so.
If you can read the Neviim - the Prophets of the Old Testament - without any preconceived notions about what “they must have meant” and without cherry picking verses to back up what you already believe (and must believe if you are to remain a member of Jewish or Christian society in good standing) then you don't need to read or watch any of my thousand videos and articles — all of which, to the best my ability, are now unpaywalled and available to read for free. You can just read The Prophets.
I recommend beginning with the chapter read on Yom Kippur - Isaiah 58.
That Livestream I advertised in my last letter has been viewed by a total of 55 people. But what came out of it was much better. Because I had my phone on me I recorded a great deal that day and over the past week, still lacking the funds to hire professionals, I edited it down to 20 minutes.
But it's no travel vlog. It's evidence that what I say is both true and achievable if only I had a voice.
I had a voice once!
I was ordained and tasked by the late Rabbi Noach Weinberg of Jerusalem's Old City to explain Jews and Judaism to mankind.
People rushed forward to sponsor me and I was flown around the globe to speak to audiences of hundreds and thousands until I was so successful that a pornographically wealth woman offered to buy me with both fame and fortune. She loved what I was doing for Israel and with zero interest in either Emet or Shalom she just wanted to direct me slightly.
Less listening, less caring, and ZERO concern for truth — she wanted me to be a propagandist. And today, that organization whose founding material all came from my mouth - Hasbara - is no longer translated as “Explanation” by anybody. Google defines it as propaganda.
I say nothing that Rambam did not say better, and nothing that Tanach does not say better. But I am alive today and I have my own experiences to share about the world we share.
Because I’m actually demanding that you watch, I will suffice with a single video:
THOU SHALT NOT MURDER
And I am informing you that my lack of influence in society today is not my fault. It is the fault of any one of you who can empower me and does not do so.
To remove yourself from that category, empower me TODAY.

The world has never EVER bayed for the murder of The Jews as it does today.
I know Jewish History and have taught it for decades. The moment the shackles of silence are broken, you and yours, everywhere around the globe, will be in DEEP SHIT.
Justly? No. The ethos of The Entire Planet is do unto others before they do unto you. That is in fact the bedrock practice of modern capitalism.
By this universal ethos Israel’s only error is not exterminating the Palestinians in toto on October 8th. And Hamas’s only error is in not staging public tortures of Jews all around the world.
But “playing by the rules” is not Israel’s mission. If you don't understand why playing by the same rules as everybody else won't work for the Jews read the short and simple article I wrote just just 2 letters ago:
The Unspeakable Truth About Antisemitism Today
I may release the video, I may not. To date I have seen no evidence that it will provide more than entertainment and enlightenment to the intelligent.
A useless commodity.
Nothing will change until I can be heard by tens of millions of individuals. I care not a whit to entertain or enlighten the few.
Society needs a Prime Moderator, somebody without bias to moderate a global conversation. That man is me.
Empower me immediately, or be one of those who had the opportunity to do so and did not. And may God have mercy on your soul, because human beings will not. Humanity today is numb and defeated, but it never remains so. And when it awakens from It's multi-generational slumber it is rarely reasonable.
