1. "TIKKUN OLAM " : THE REAL MEANING
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.01.10)
99 .9999 % of jews and President Obama do NOT understand what TIKKUN OLAM actually means .Let me explain : Tikkun means fixing but what does Olam mean ?? Rabbi Isaac Luria ,the master of Kabbala par excellence ,also known as the Ari said : " Man is l a small world , the world is a big man ." Torah states that 'He who saves a life ,it's as if he saved the entire world ." Therefore ,Olam = man and Tikkun Olam = fixing the man i.e. fixing oneself. For example ,if a man is a sex addict or has a drug / alcohol problem or a bad temper ,he must try to fix those faults and to perfect himself.No one man can "fix the world ' outside of himself...especially not a twit like Obama.
2. This from a man who spent 20 years in Wrights embrace
Josh   (05.01.10)
This man promoted a Christian church and defended it for some time as home. A chuch hat had antsemetic and anti american literature and rhetoric spewn for the pulpit. Obama, the same who worked closely with Bill Ayers and the radical redistribution of wealth. Jewish wealth? The very same who was captured on tape a a ProPalestianian rally in which the video footage was mysteriously burried by a reputable news oraganization. The same man who khalid is reported to have raised funds to put through college. One supported by Farakahn. A leader who will meet with terrorist and has bowed to Muslim leaders? Yeah I believe his speach. LOL Michelle has a cousin. That's too funny.
3. PRESIDENT OBAMA
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.01.10)
Sir ,never mind "Tikkun Olam ." please leave well alone : If it aint broke don't fix it. Obama has already done enough to ensure that he will be a one-term president.Don't believe me?? just wait and see. For the dumb jews, Tikkun Olam means nothing more /or less than fixing yourselves within . To hell with climate change ,the political situation in china ,or global pollution .I can not fix that..but I have hope to change my bad habits.Go learn what Tikun really means.
4. ARROGANCE ,OBAMA AND TIKKUN
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.01.10)
Olam .How arrogant to delude oneself that any one human being can "fix the world." What utter tripe. Tikkun Olam should be properly called ; Tikkun Olam Sheli / Shelcha (fixing MY world / Your world) meaning ourselves. As for Obama ,he thinks playing nice to the jews ,lighting hannukah candles will endear himself ,while he simultaneously treats Prime Minister Netanyahu like something he accidentally trod in . Obama should "fix his world' and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
5. TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.01.10)
SIR, I humbly apologise for rudely calling you a "twit" in my earlier talk-back .As Prime Minister Gordon Brown of england said recently : 'We all say things we don't mean sometimes." And he is right. As for "fixing the world" please fix YOUR world and kindly keep out of mine. Many thanks.
6. CORRECTION
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.01.10)
In the spirit of Tikkun , I should have said : "No one man can fix the world outside of himself , not even Obama. "
7. obama: Jews strengthen our nation
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (05.01.10)
president barack obama is the first president without integrity the united states has ever had
8. American Jews are IDIOTS! obama has stolen your VOTES &
MONEY!   (05.01.10)
9. #1 master of Kabbala par excellence - haha
Anon   (05.01.10)
Next you will be quoting those great sages from the 80's "Bill and Ted" about the Most awsome Excellent Royal Dude stuff. Enough with the repackage Jainism with a shinny label and bow that advertises a new form of Torah Judaism. The Rabbis once rightfully outlawed it as magic. Kabblah is not Torah and Torah is not magic, rather it forbids it. Any reason, other than a cultix one, why you would over sell a kabbalsitic teacher? Since you want to edcuate me on your false Torah kabbalistic beliefs, and we all know many men have gone mad studying kabbalah, I must advise you that I want no part of a Abrabic written Babylon captivity book the even a child can see is cursed by G-d other wise why would men go nuts from it? Asure. Thank goodness 99 .9999 % Jews don't knw what Tilun Olam pagan teachings mean. It is a sign that the deception is not working. How about the shma and doing what it commnads, post Torah from Moses and talk about? So many so silent about Torah and not doing its mitzvah yet so many trumpeting false additions. Will it end with our destruction? Return. By the way, understanding Obama code like that he descibes in his books talking about Frank and white people, you would need to do more home work. It is much like a radical Muslim saying they do not want to take any "innocent" lives. Infadels are not innocent in their eyes. "fixed" in Obama's eyes is not "fixed" in a Jainists eyes. When Obama say "Tikoon Olam" he means making the US socialist and a mirror of his cousin Odingas government. Careful who we let put their arms around us. He has a history and we should learn it and advertise it.
10. The prime minister of Turkey and the President of Iran also
Galit Sharoni ,   Ramat Hasharon   (05.01.10)
claim that Jews strengthen their nations, just as Obama expresses himself for political expediency. Yet, with every opportunity he has, the US President humiliate the very symbols of Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish homeland of Israel. Shame on you, Mr. Barakeh Hussein Obama, and shame on you American Jews who have chosen to turn a temporary President into an icon to be worshiped instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with your brothers and sisters in Israel.
11. I DIDNT KNOW WE HAD OUR OWN MONTH - NICE !!
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (05.01.10)
12. Americans and American Jews r finally coming to their/our
American Jew   (05.01.10)
senses. This man will say anything to accomplish his goals. He is NOT the friend of Jews (whether they are American or not), Americans, the Western World and all good people! 78% of American Jews voted for him 42% would do so again. The numbers are moving in the RIGHT direction.
13. Sound familiar?
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (05.01.10)
The Nazis used a similar quote at the entry to Auschwitz: "Arbeit mach frei" He must be getting his interpretation from the house Jew Emmanuel
14. Tikkun Olam
Hedy Maimann ,   Vienna   (05.02.10)
Dear Mister Lawrence, if you use words like "twit" and dumb jews I would like to say that you are also far away from having released the things within yourselves that need to be fixed as there is a lot of arroagnace in your statement and why do you think that Jews do not understand that you have to fix yourself first- for me this is very clear and common wisdom and I am always saying this to everyone and I am jewish and I even did know this before knowing kabbalah- its an innatte wisdom that we have actually. Be balance and peace be with you.
15. from what I understood usually Tikun
ghostq   (05.02.10)
is what to do after murder somebody or going to risk someone life and that way he can remorse his sin and Judaism not forgive those it in the hands of god as it should be, I think nobama doesn't aware of what it means, what an idiot.
16. Jews strengthen Obama
Proud Jew ,   Israel   (05.02.10)
It is truly sickening that most American Jews support Obama, rather than Israel. They are blind. The majority of them are assimilated and are "Americans first". Even the Jews who work for him are mostly assimilated. Their wives are either non-Jewish or else had some non-halachic conversion. We cannot count on these people to stand by us.
17. To # 16
Ari ,   USA   (05.02.10)
Many of the US Jews are blind. What must be understood is that the Arab propaganda machine was very successful. Thankfully, more and more US Jews are now seeing the evil they elected. Obama is a Jew hater. It is obvious his intent is to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. It must be the JEWISH intent not to let Obama or the arabs take Jerusalem, Judea,or Samaria. It must be Israel's intent not to let Bibi, or any other politician, hand it over to them- no matter what.
18. Excellent propaganda for stupid American Jews
Tomas ,   US   (05.02.10)
This article is excellent propaganda from probably most anti-Jewish American president in last 100 years. He only loves the court Jews and mentally chalenged American liberal Jews.
19. Obama says you will know him by who his friends are
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (05.02.10)
Obama is fulla sh*t He proclaims platitudes from one side of his mouth, issues evil decrees against Israel and the Jews out of the other side of his mouth and in general hates Jews with every fiber of his body and soul as he was taught by Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan abd of course Tony Rezko, Robert O. Malley, Zbigniew Bzrezinski, Jim Jones, Susan Rice, Tony McPeak, Samantha Power, and his other buddies.
20. Obama's words to Jews
Brod ,   USA   (05.02.10)
are meaningless. His actions are Anti-Jews-Anti-Israel.
21. 16 Have heart American Jews are coming to there senses
American Jew   (05.02.10)
Am Israel Chai God Bless Israel
22. why bother reading anything Obama
leonard ,   lA usa   (05.03.10)
say's. We all know what he is for and it's not Israel. As for Jews in America or Briton remember Rothchild helped financed Hitler. Some brother Jew he is.
23. How many doltist Jews will buy Obama's ludicrous charade?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.03.10)
Israel and Jews have many sincere American friends. Some of the more high profile ones include Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Mike Huckabee. Tens of millions of lesser known Americans are also our friends. Obama, and his regime, clearly are NOT friends of Jews or Israel. They oppose the vital interests of Jews and Israel at every turn. How many doltist Jews will buy Obama's ludicrous charade?
24. to #22 Rotschield didn't finance Hitler
ghostq   (05.03.10)
hitler took his money like he toom many other jews money, Rotscield basicaly helped build Israel had gave huge sums of money until they didn't wanted to cause they wanted to be independent. we his winery isn't all that good I had better, but the though that count.
25. not this one and not many other jewish friends
American Jew   (05.03.10)
there is a wind change...
26. Re #11 - First I've heard of it too!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (05.05.10)
A lot of libraries in my area have displays about the Shoa and other information on Jewish History around this time of year. I never connected these displays with Jewish History Month because I didn't know Jewish History Month existed. It's good to have a month for Jewish History. This means they'll have lessons about Jewish History in the US Public Schools, just like they do for Black History Month.
27. Jews of Colour
Jennifer Badani ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.16.10)
It's about time that Israel has a Prime Minister that's either Yemenite or Ethoypian.
