RIVLIN EULOGIZES 'MAN OF TRUTH, GENEROSITY AND COMPASSION'
UK’s former chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks passes away at 72
The prolific Jewish thinker, writer, teacher and spiritual
leader had announced a cancer diagnosis last month; Israeli, Jewish leaders
mourn his death. https://youtu.be/AvHvCcMqsaw
Lord Sacks, a theologian of the order of the Temple High
Priests who proclaimed a Jew is both physical and spiritual. If a Jew is
physical, then the people of Ishmael should be Jew as well but a Jew is one who
is inwardly, spiritual, a way of life and not outwardly of our physical tribal
body that is born and dies. Thus, a Jew, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim,
etc., our spiritual self is never born and he never dies but the tribal self
that is born and dies. Thus, those who proclaim a Jew to be the physical self, they
cannot build their covenant with Abraham who was of the Semitic race and as
such these people become Antisemitic but they
proclaim others who criticise them Antisemitic. For the
Jews being Antisemitic, Jesus had to take a
"Virgin Birth" among the most spiritually sick people of Judah tribe
and they were his staunch enemies and crucified him. Much
more in my other videos. In Jesus, we do not
PASS JUDGEMENTS but tell the Gospel Truth, a very Bitter Pill for the once-born
that are exploited by the clever psychics seeking their own praises whilst we,
the pneumatic, sealed to serve our Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm,
etc. PRAISE HIM ONLY. I met Lord Sacks at Lady Margaret College, Oxford and told
him that as a Jew is a spiritual self, inwardly and not outwardly, physical or
the tribal self that is born and dies, not a single Jew died during the
holocausts but the tribal people. To this question, he replied, "Jew is both physical and
spiritual", an answer that the Temple Priests who killed Angel Stephen by
stoning would have given. So, he was as wise as the Temple Priests who were
making Jews physically of appearances and NOT SPIRITUAL as the Samaritans were
who honoured Christ Jesus when He told the Woman at the well that He is the
Messiah whereas in the Temple when Jesus told the Jews outwardly unfaithful to
Abraham and Yahweh, the Saltless people that He is the Messiah, they took
stones to kill him for proclaiming to be the Most High God Elohim, Allah,
Parbrahm, etc., our Supernatural Father of our souls. And Jesus told the Temple
Priests that they are “Saltless People” in John 8 where he compared the natural
bastard that the woman would have produced out of adultery versus the
Supernatural bastard from the cores of their hearts unfaithful to Abraham and
Yahweh, the Saltless people of no conscience that hated the Gospel Truth, “A
Jew is one who is inwardly, spiritual and not outwardly, of the physical body,
the tribal people that were born and they died”.
Dispute Over Who Jesus Is
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away,
and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot
come.”
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself?
Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from
above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you
would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die
in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked.
“Just what I have been telling you from the
beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in judgment
of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from
him I tell the world.”
27 They did not understand that he was telling them
about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man,
then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just
what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not
left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” 30 Even as he spoke, many
believed in him.
Dispute Over Whose
Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,
“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know
the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants
and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set
free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone
who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the
family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you
will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are
looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38 I am
telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what
you have heard from your father.[b]”
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then
you would[c] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to
kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did
not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested.
“The only Father we have is God himself.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father,
you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own;
God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because
you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the
devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from
the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove
me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that
you do not belong to God.”
Jesus’ Claims About
Himself
48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in
saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?”
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus,
“but I honour my Father and you dishonour me. 50 I am not seeking glory for
myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I
tell you, whoever ponder over and not obeys my word will never see death.”
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you
are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that
whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our
father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory
means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies
me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be
a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham
rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to
him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before
Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but
Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

Iread an interesting article at Chabad
[1] recently explaining the term tzaddik. If you’re unfamiliar with the word, in
essence it means a supremely good and righteous person— a man after God’s own
heart.
The fullest definition of the term would be a
spiritual superhero. Yet, the tzaddik remains a
“human of humans,” i.e., a rare person, possessing both a comfortable
relatability and an out-of-this-world spiritual sensibility, both of which make
him an inspiration to the world.
They are rare. One does not often find men
possessed of such godly character, intent on serving God, loving others as
themselves, and dedicated to bringing peace to humanity. Thus, when we
recognize a tzaddik, the world takes note. All the
more, the loss of a true tzaddik is felt, and their
passing creates a hole in society that can’t be filled.
We have lost one of the great ones as Rabbi Lord
Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov
Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away on November 7, 2020.
First and foremost, he was a rabbi—a teacher, a
shepherd, and a servant to the people. His rabbinic career began in 1978 and
continued until his retirement in 2013 from his position as Chief Rabbi of
England. His impact on Jewish thought was not diminished in the slightest by
his retirement. If anything, his influence increased across the globe. He
taught with tremendous insight, honesty, and practicality. He was a
teacher, philosopher, theologian, author, and politician, and his influence,
not just in Judaism but across all cultural and religious lines, was
phenomenal. His accomplishments were recently recognized in his nomination
for the 2021 Genesis Prize, a sort of Nobel Prize in Israel. He was and will
continue to be one of the most influential Jewish leaders of our time.
His death makes me feel as if I have lost a beloved
family member. I did not know Rabbi Sacks personally, but I felt that he knew
me. Through his podcasts, books, and commentaries, he spoke to all of us. He
helped the world to understand life, love of people, love of God, and much
more. It’s strangely personal, and I know I’m not the only one feeling this, as
I’ve observed the worldwide community response to his passing, and all felt
this connection.
He was my mentor, though we never exchanged a word.
As I prepared sermons, his teaching inspired me, and in turn, inspired others.
Unbeknownst to him, his words guided me through personal struggles in life and
leadership. He made Judaism more meaningful to me than any teacher I’ve ever
had. When I read Rabbi Sacks’ writing, it was as if he was talking to me. Like I was sitting across the desk from him in his study,
listening, learning, growing. I’ve had many conversations with FFOZ friends
who shared a similar love for him.
This blog was initially written as a prayer request
for Rabbi Sacks’ recovery, but before it could be published, he was gone. It is
heartbreaking to consider that his light has dimmed,
but I take comfort in the fact that the light of tzaddik
never burns out. Rabbi Sacks is a true tzaddik. His
service to God and dedication to loving humanity leaves a legacy that will
serve the world for generations to come. For all of us whom he inspired,
it is incumbent upon us to carry his light as a burning torch, illuminating the
darkness of hatred, violence, and intolerance and speaking, as he has to all of
us, shalom.
Rabbi Sacks leaves behind his loving wife of fifty
years, Elaine, whom he referenced in so many stories of his life, and three
children, Joshua, Dina, and Gila. Please join me in
praying for them, and may his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion
and Jerusalem.

Rabbi Jonathan
Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the United Kingdom whose extensive writings
and frequent media appearances commanded a global following among Jews and
non-Jews alike, died Saturday morning.
Sacks, 72, was in the midst of a third bout of
cancer, which he had announced in October.
Sacks was among the world’s leading exponents of Orthodox
Judaism for a global audience. In his 22 years as chief rabbi, he emerged as
the most visible Jewish leader in the United Kingdom and one of the European
continent’s leading Jewish voices, offering Jewish wisdom to the masses through
a regular segment he produced for the BBC. He had a close relationship with
former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who called Sacks “an intellectual
giant” and presented him with a lifetime achievement award in 2018.
