-
- This posting is an attempt to answer questions that are continually asked on
- soc.culture.jewish. It was written by cooperating laypeople from the various
- Judaic movements. You SHOULD NOT make any assumption as to accuracy and/or
- authoritativeness of the answers provided herein. In all cases, it is always
- best to consult a competent authority -- your local rabbi is a good place to
- start.
-
- The deceased sages described within are of blessed memory, (assume a Z"L or
- ZT"L after their names) and the sages alive today should live to see long and
- good days (assume SHLITA). May Hashem grant complete recovery to the ill.
- Individual honorifics are omitted.
-
- The FAQ was produced by a committee and is a cooperative work. The
- contributors never standardized on a {Hebrew,Aramaic,Yiddish,Ladino}-->English
- transliteration scheme. As a result, the same original word might appear with
- a variety of spellings. This is complicated by the fact that there are
- regional variations in the pronunciation of Hebrew. In some places, the
- common spelling variations are mentioned; in others --- not. We hope that
- this is not too confusing.
-
- This list should be used in conjunction with the Soc.Culture.Jewish reading
- lists that are posted separately. Similar questions can be found in the books
- referenced in those lists.
-
- Reproduction of this posting for commercial use is subject to restriction. See
- Part 1 for more details.

- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 15.1. Why do Jews seem to treat the Holocaust as their tragedy alone?
-
- QUESTION: Why do Jews seem to talk and act as if the Holocaust was their
- tragedy alone?
-
- ANSWER: We don't, and in fact, a hefty percentage of articles on the Holocaust
- go out of their way to mention the number of gentiles murdered, as well as
- soldiers and civilians killed in the war itself.
-
- But we focus upon it for several reasons: (1) It destroyed a third (1/3) of
- world Jewry, almost all of European Jewry, and obliterated the entire European
- Jewish culture. (2) It was directed primarily at Jews - Hitler himself wrote
- that his real war was against Judaism and the idea of absolute morality, the
- antithesis of amoral nationalism. (see his discussions with his friend,
- Hermann Rauschning) (3) It happened just 50 years ago, which is recent.
-
- It is important to mention other attempts at mass extermination or national
- destruction, such as Armenian, Cambodian, East Timorese, Kurdish, etc.
-
- One should also mention other large scale injustices such as Black African
- enslavement in America, but to make clear that even if it is not the same as
- the Holocaust, it's still a moral problem.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 15.2. Where can I get information on the Holocaust?
-
- Additional information may be found in the Antisemitism Reading List,
- available as usenet/news.answers/judaism/reading-lists/antisemitism from
- rtfm.mit.edu.
-
- Information is also available on the newsgroup soc.culture.jewish.holocaust,
- which is a storagehouse for all kinds of information from various sources on
- the Holocaust in Europe that occurred between 1942-1945 (along with the events
- leading up to it that happened in the early 30's). In that group you will find
- Holocaust materials from both personal testimonies of survivors and their
- families and "hard" facts from historians and observers.
-
- Also available on rtfm.mit.edu, although not produced by the
- soc.culture.jewish folks, is various information on the Holocaust used to
- answer the "revisionists". Look on rtfm.mit.edu in the news.answers/holocaust
- directories. You'll find information on Auschwitz (auschwitz/part01,part02),
- Operation Reinhard -- A Layman's Guide to Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka
- (reinhard/part01, part02), and a two-part report that provides common answers
- to the various revisionists claims that the Holocaust never occured
- (lechter/part01, part02). Additional information may be found in ihr/part01,
- part02. If you are using WWW or Mosaic, the relevant pointer is:
- http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/holocaust/top.html
-
- Alas, Nazi-ism didn't end with the Holocaust, and there has been a resurgance
- of neo-Nazi groups in Germany. Between October 1992 and April 1993, the Simon
- Wiesenthal Center conducted a covert operation to determine the strength,
- financial base, and ultimate leadership of Germany's neo-Nazi movement.
- Center officials also wanted to find out the links between Germany's radical
- right and similar organizations in the United States, and to determine the
- degree of commitment on the part of German police towards the enforcement of
- laws passed by the German parliament over the years to thwart the resurgence
- of Nazism in the Bundesrepublik. The results of this operation are documented
- and available on the net. To obtain the Wiesenthal infiltration report, send
- the command GET FASCISM SWC.OPREP to listserv@oneb.almanac.bc.ca. In order to
- obtain a complete listing of all of our archives, include the command INDEX,
- which returns a list of roughly thirty megs of data.
-
- A Holocaust bibliography is also available. It contains thousands of
- listings for those interested in research. To obtain it, simply send a
- message to kmcvay@oneb.almanac.bc.ca and place the word BIBLIO in the
- Subject: field of your message. The 23-part bibliography will be sent to you
- immediately.
-
- Lastly, there is plenty of information available on the Jerusalem1 gopher. You
- can try it by typing:
- gopher jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il
- or following the URL:

- Subject: 15.3. How do I get tickets to see the United States Holocaust
- Memorial Museum?
-
- Opened in April 1993, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto
- uprising, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.,
- summons all who enter its portals to rise to an important and extraordinary
- challenge: to remember and immortalize the 6 milion Jews and millions of other
- Nazi victims of World War II -- Gypsies, Poles, homosexuals, the handicapped,
- Jehovah's Witnesses, political and religious dissidents, Soviet prisoners of
- war -- who were murdered in the most horrifying event of our time: the
- Holocaust.
-
- The main task of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is to present the
- facts of the Holocaust, to tell the American public as clearly and
- comprehensively as possible what happened in that darkest chapter of human
- history. To this end, the Museum has reconstructed the history of the
- Holocaust through multiple media: the meaningful arrangement of objects as
- well as the presentation of documentary photographic and cinematographic
- materials. This museum holds the world's largest and most diversified
- collection of Holocaust-related objects; but in its display it is a
- "conceptual museum" rather than a traditional, object-oriented one: it's
- primary purpose is to communicate concepts, complex information, and
- knowledge, rather than merely to display objects of the Holocaust, unrelated
- to the historical context of each individual exhibit.
-
- A visit to the museum, or a tour through the virtual exhibition, will be an
- interesting and challenging learning experience but, at the same time, it also
- will be a thought-provoking, disturbing, and personally upsetting one. And so
- it should be.
-
- The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is a free, Federal Museum
- dedicated to presenting the history of the persecution and murder of six
- million Jews and millions of other victims of Nazi tyrrany from 1933-1945. To
- accomodate large numbers of visitors expected by the museum, and to ensure a
- meaningful experience for every one, the museum is now open on a time-ticket
- basis, which means that a ticket is required for admission, and that tickets
- are marked with a specific time and day in order to regulate the number of
- people passing through the exhibits at any given time.
-
- Tickets may be obtained in one of three ways: you can visit or call
- Ticketmaster at 1-800-432-SEAT and purchase tickets for a specified date and
- time using a credit card. Currently, there is a $3.50 phone charge and a
- $1.00 per ticket handling fee. Tickets to the museum are free, except for the
- handling charges which go directly to Ticketmaster. A second method of
- obtaining tickets is to go directly to the walk-up window and request them.
- Demand is heavy, and only a portion of each day's tickets are set aside for
- walk-up business. The last, and most difficult, method of obtaining tickets
- is to call your elected representative and request assistance in finding
- tickets. The Museum is not part of the Smithsonian system, and therefore some
- Congressmen do not bother to request complimentary tickets from the museum.
- Some do.
-
- The Museum is open from 10:00-5:30 daily, except for Christmas (go figure!)
- and certain Jewish holidays (to be determined). The telephone number is (202)
- 488-0400. Their internet domain is ushmm.org. They have established an
- experimental WWW Server. The URL is the following:
-
- URL: http://www.ushmm.org/home.html
-
- For those of you who do not have access to a WWW client (browser) like Mosaic
- or Lynx, the Holocaust Memorial Museum is also included in the main menu of
- the Global Jewish Information Network Server. It is accessible by telnet:
-
- telnet www.huji.ac.il
- login: JEWISHNET
- No password required
-
- The URL for the Global Jewish Information Network is the following:

- Subject: 16.1. Why is antisemitism used to mean anti-Jewish?
- Aren't Arabs Semites too?
-
- The word "anti-Semitism" was coined in Germany in 1879 by Wilhelm Marr as a
- more euphonious way of saying "Judenhass" (Jew-hatred), and has always meant
- exactly that. Its antonym, "Semitism" connoted a positive attitude toward the
- Jewish people. The word has become too sanitized and too easily
- misunderstood, which is exactly what Marr tried to accomplish with the word's
- creation.
-
- According to a (now discredited) nineteenth century theory that held that
- racial groups and linguistic groups coincide, Semites are natives of a group
- of Middle Eastern nations which are closely related in ethnicity, culture and
- language. Under this theory, the modern day Semites would be the Jews and
- Arabs. In ancient times, the Assyrians, Canaanites, Carthaginians, Aramaeans
- and Akkadians (one of the ancestors of the ancient Babylonians) were also
- counted among the Semitic nations. It should be noted that many of these
- groups contributed much to the development of modern culture, in particular the
- Phoenicians (Semitic seafarers including Canaanites, Aramaeans and northern
- Israelites), the Babylonians, as well as the Arabs and Jews.
-
- One theory that has been voiced among the practitioners of ancient history is
- that these groups emerged from a common home in Arabia during the early
- Sumerian period. More likely, they were descended from various waves of people
- who entered the Middle East, only the last of which brought the Semitic
- languages. Like the Babylonian king Hammurabi, Abraham appears to have been an
- "Amurru" or West Semite, a group that spread out from the Levant to as far east
- as Ur and Babylon. Hebrew and Aramaic are both West Semitic languages.
-
- The modern day "Semites" all claim to trace their ancestry to Noah's son, Shem,
- from whom they take their name.
-
- Given that the theory of "semites" and non-"semites" is now discredited, the
- preferred term to use is "Antisemitism", which has a general connotation of
- "anti-Jewish". When written in this fashion, it helps to eliminate the
- confusion with the discredited theory. (The use of the non-hyphenated form is
- a suggestion of the distinguished historian James Parkes.) Emil Fackenheim,
- the Jewish philosopher, has also adopted this spelling, explaining "... the
- spelling ought to be antisemitism without the hyphen, dispelling the notion
- that there is an entity 'Semitism' which 'anti-Semitism' opposes" (Emil
- Fackenheim, "Post-Holocaust Anti-Jewishness, Jewish Identity and the
- Centrality of Israel," in World Jewry and the State of Israel, ed. Moshe
- Davis, p. 11, n. 2).
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 16.2. Is there any truth to the myth of the Jewish American Princess?
-
- While there may be a few token women who fit the stereotype, it's a cruel slur
- frequently directed at Jewish women in general, and not always by Jews. (see
- William Styron's _Sophie's Choice_, especially chapter 7 for some very
- offensive Jewish portrayals, including the JAP.)
-
- The most common use of the slur "JAP" is by Jewish men who rationalize their
- habit of dating gentile women by slandering the Jewish women whom they
- *could* be dating. Many who use the term are unaware of its offensive
- nature, so if someone uses it innocently, politely ask them not to use the
- term.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 17.1. What about (sic) "Jews for Jesus" or (sic) "Messianic Jews"?
-
- QUESTION: Are groups calling themselves "Jews for Jesus" or "Messianic
- Jews[sic]" Jewish movements?
-
- No, they are Christian organizations. Sadly, their membership includes persons
- who are technically Jewish, but who believe and practice Christianity.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 17.2. Is belief in Jesus-as-God compatible with any Jewish movements?
-
- No, the belief in Jesus-as-God is idolatry for Jews.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 17.3. What do missionary groups believe?
-
- Their own statements express their beliefs.
-
- Consider the following confession from the "Jews for Jesus" organization:
- -----------
- | What evangelical Christians should know about
- | JEWS FOR JESUS; [the "O" in FOR is
- | A C0NFIDENTIAL REPORT: a six-pointed star -RL]
- | _not_ to be distributed to Non-Christians
- |
- | \ /HAT WE BELIEVE...
- | \/\/
- |
- | While others are content to call themselves "inter-denominational" or
- | "interfaith," we define ourselves as evangelical fundamentalists and we
- | seek the cooperation of individuals and Christian bodies which can be so
- | described by their work. Though we will not allow ourselves to be
- | committed to any one segment of the church, we believe in affiliation with
- | a local church and in accountability to the church for service and
- | discipline.
- |
- | We feel that we are an arm of the local church. The calling of those
- | who minister with Jews for Jesus is primarily that of evangelists, and
- | we're always mindful of the fact that we should not usurp the authority of
- | the local pastor. As we effectively win and disciple Jewish people, we
- | feel that they should either take their place in a local church of
- | evangelical character, or establish a congregation and call their own
- | minister. We feel it is our duty to aid the church at large, and we
- | consider ourselves as a working arm of the body to gather in the Lost
- | Sheep of the House of Israel.
- |-------------------End Statement------------------------------
-
- Also consider the following excerpt from Usenet:
-
- | From: Harvey.Smith ... (Harvey Smith)
- | Subject: Doctrinal statement of the UMJC and
- | the Messianic Jewish Computer Net.
- | Message-ID: <139891.2A95C447@paranet.FIDONET.ORG>
- | Date: 21 Aug 92 17:01:06 GMT
- |
- | [...]
- |
- | As Messianic Jewish believers we believe:
- |
- | 1. That we are a part of the universal body of Messiah comprised of both
- | Jews and Gentiles and consider Biblical Christianity to be Biblical
- | Judaism.
- | [...]
- |
- | 4. Our eschatology is as fortold in Matt. 24, Revelation etc..
- | Most are Pre-Millenial without dispensationalism.(overlaping
- | dispensations).
- |
- | 5. We relate to many different denominations and fellowships, some MJ
- | congregations are Baptist, some Pentecostal, some Charismatic, some
- | Lutheran etc.. Being an Evangelical is the covering that we best
- | relate to.
- |
- |------------------------------------------
-
- Remember these excerpts when a Hebrew-Christian tries to claim that he
- practices Judaism. The reality is that he believes and practices
- Christianity.
-
- If he's technically Jewish, try teaching *him* about Judaism, which teaches
- that one should love one's neighbor as oneself, that one should not bear a
- grudge, that the righteous of all nations have a share in the world to come,
- that G-d is close to all who sincerely call to Him, and that the Messiah will
- usher in a time of peace.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: 17.4. What sort of deceptive terminology do missionaries use?
-
- Consider the front (pun intended) of a "Communications Card" published by the
- "Messianic Jewish Movement International" describing how they hide
- Christianity behind a Jewish mask...
-

- Subject: 17.5. How can these missionaries be countered?
-
- QUESTION: What can a Jew do to help counter the Hebrew-Christian missionaries?
-
- ANSWER: Numerous books have been written on the subject. Above all else, be
- prepared. Support Jews for Judaism. They're a Jewish organization in the
- U.S. and Canada which opposes cults and missionary efforts directed at Jews.
- They can assist you.
-
- Jews for Judaism can be reached at P.O. Box 15059; Baltimore, MD 21208
- (410)602-0276, plus they have regional offices in several major cities in the
- U.S. and Canada.
-
- Jews for Judaism offices:
-
- Main Office: P.O. Box 15059 ; Baltimore, MD 21208 Baltimore

-
- In general, missionaries are closed-minded, obstinate, and illogical, relying
- upon pat memorization rather than reason. Debate with missionaries takes
- place on the alt.messianic altnet newsgroup. For a good example of the types
- of debates which take place there, read the annotated dialogue in the back of
- the book _You take Jesus, I'll take G-d_ (Levine).
-
- Another source of information on how to counter missionaries is the Jerusalem
- Institute of Biblical Polemics. They provide the following online services:
-
- 1. Private Counseling. If you have any questions regarding missionaries
- (either Christian or Hebrew-Christian) and how to refute them, you can get
- answers by sending an e-mail message to: jibp@jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il.
-
- 2. Discussion Groups. For those interested in a higher level of involvement,
- you can join their discussion group called m-debate. Through on-going
- discussion of various problems, they seek to find the best way of
- confronting missionaries and helping Jews currently trapped by the
- Christian beliefs. To subscribe to m-debate send an e-mail message to
- listserv@jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il with a blank subject line and the
- following message: sub m-debate [your first and last name]
-
- 3. Literature. A collection of literature is available on the jerusalem1
- gopher. You can access the jerusalem1 gopher through either the "Other
- Gophers" option or by entering the following command: gopher
- jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il. Upon successfully accessing the jerusalem1
- gopher, you can view the material by choosing the Religious Institutions
- option and then select JIBP. If you cannot access the gopher, ask for a
- current list of topics by sending a message to the e-mail address
- jibp@jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il. Select the items you wish to receive, and
- they will send them to your e-mail account. They can also provide quantity
- pricing of their printed material.
-
- 4. Biblical Polemics. JIBP provides a magazine in both electronic and hardcopy
- form. To subscribe ($15/year), send a check or money order to: JIBP, P.O.
- Box 13099, Jerusalem 91130. Don't forget to include both your snail mail
- and e-mail addresses!!

- Subject: 17.6. Who is financing "Jews for Jesus" and similar groups?
-
- Here are some 1991 budgets of missionary organizations which target Jews for
- conversion to Xianity (amounts in U.S. dollars):
-
- Jews for Jesus - 10.2 million dollars ($ 10,200,000.00)
- Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry - 5 million dollars ($5,000,000.00)
- Chosen People Ministries - 5-7 million dollars.
