Jewish Life Under the Church: Rabbi Singer Reveals the Untold Story

persecution or we won't let you become a doctor or we won't let Mer conduct an orchestra unless he becomes Catholic which is what happened and that's why Mer converted from Judaism to Cathism not that he was a religious Jew to begin with but he did it because he wanted the job and if he wouldn't get baptized they wouldn't give him the job this is the modern period this is not medieval period okay I can go through all of them they got baptized to get a job How nice. >> Okay. My question would be, I've been in Torah for about seven years and he blessed me with knowledge, but I realized I was moving, you know, out of Christianity ditch into kind of a Torah movement ditch and had to kind of weed through the layers of that and started realizing, you know, we were putting Jesus, Yahushua, before God. He isn't the Messiah, I should say. So, we're we're we're just coming into all of this as in several months. And my question is is for us Christians coming out of Christianity into God's full truth, are we do we are we able to move to Israel? I mean, is that a call for us too, whether we're Jew or whether we're part of the 12 tribes or, >> you know, like >> Yep. >> the northern kingdom. like are we to um you know >> do all >> yeah do we do all of y'all like I mean you know I I can't jump into something until I feel led by the father but um this is all feeling very um important to me if that makes sense >> says you're very sweet God bless you there is a mitzvah in the Torah to live in the land of Israel Um, numbers 33:53, but that's of mitzvah upon the Jewish people, but the children of Israel. See, I mean, you don't need to see. I mean, there's a lot lot of passages like it. I mean, you could, you don't need it, but you could read Nakman's commentary on it. You don't need to. So, it's there. It's not one of the seven no laws. That said, dear child of Hashem, it's very possible that you are a daughter of the children of Israel. You don't know. But I encourage you to research your genealogy very carefully to discover if you are of the children of Israel. After all, the last 2,000 years has been marked. I'm just picking two thou. I'm just going to presume that you aren't a Native American and your family came from I don't know. I'm making up Europe. I don't know. There's just been turmoil. So, Jews had to hide. Were forced to convert to Christianity. It was horrible. Pick a year. any year. Like if your family came from Spain, do you know what it was like for a Jew in Spain and pick a year? 1391. Just go on to your favorite AI program. What happened in 1391 to the Jews in Spain and after slaughtering us, the Jews forced to convert to Christian. It was a setup of 1492. Just it's just a year. It was a nightmare. And what that did was it forced mass conversion from Judaism to Christianity. I personally if I found out that Jews widespread were forcing non-Jews to convert to Judaism. I mean it's not that forget about I would condemn it. So I'd be so embarrassed like the faith of Israel is beautiful. It's pure. Why would you have to force someone to do something? The moment you need force, it means you're trying to get someone to do something that they ordinarily would never do. You don't need to force people to take money. Here's a borrow of gold and I'll shoot you if you don't take it. You don't have to shoot me. Put your gun away. I mean, if you have to kill people or threaten death or use um persecution or we won't let you become a doctor or we won't let Mer conduct an orchestra unless he becomes Catholic, which is what happened. And that's why Mer converted from Judaism to Catholicism. Not that he was a religious Jew to begin with, but he did it because he wanted the job. And if you wouldn't get baptized, they wouldn't give him the job. This is open. You all heard of Mer. Okay, this is the modern period. This is not medieval period. Okay, I go through all of them. They got baptized to get a job. How nice. Isn't that embarrassing? Like if you have a good religion, a great message, why do you persecute? And it's not like the Protestants here. Well, they weren't real great. The Protestants did the same. They did worse. In fact, there was so much anti-semitism in the Reformation. The Jews actually went to the Catholic Church at times to protect them from what emerged from Luther. It was horrible. Horrible. You should research your genealogy. Very important you do that DNA. If it comes back that you're, you know, 90% of your DNA is Jew. It doesn't mean you're Jew. It'll tell you where your family line comes from, what cities, and there you can then research tombstones and so on. Then you find the smoking gun. You could have a genealogologist help you do the research. Today, there's so much available. So, there's a lot of that going on. Why? Because what happened to all the descendants of Jews who were forcibly baptized or were pressured into baptism by economic. One other point I should make incidentally, and this is something everyone misses, but why still would a Jew convert? So what's interesting I might as well introduce something that's you most people have not thought of in the in the medieval period the church fathers look like they were geniuses like they were prophets Christom Augustine so Augustine city of god that work early fifth century is an apologetic work its primary goal is to explain away why Rome fell in 410 And I mean if Rome became Christian then why does why did God destroy it? You fellow cuz Rome was was fell in 410. The whole empire when I say the whole empire I mean the western empire falls in 476. Germanic tribes what else? But why? So he had to explain it. But in his work, the city of God, which is a defense, to explain that all the way, he goes to the Jews and he said that the Jews are destined to languish in exile in a degraded state who everyone could gaze upon. This is what happens to people that not only reject Christ, but kill him as well. So, I'd like you, if we can, if we step into 14th century Europe. 14th century, what a nightmare. Not 14th century black death. No idea. You have no idea. 14th century. What a dark time. In any case, so in in the in this time the plight of the Jew is so degraded in there's a Yiddish word and it's also in German because they stole the Germans stole the language from the Jews. I made that up. But the the Jewish predicament was so nidre, so low that Christom and Augustine seemed like prophets really. That that also plays a role. That's why they can't stand what's going on now. Where's the Jew? That's why they can't stand it. Why is the Jew have control over Jerusalem? Why so riv it to the sea? That's what's really going on. Because at that time, no matter how badly the church behaved, but the Jewish predicament in Christian Europe was a nightmare. The Jews were low, low down and blame for the black plague. blame for the one of the worst human catastrophes in recorded history where between um 1340s and 1350s basically at least half of Europe was killed probably 60% 90% of the Roman Cath of clerg wiped out in fact that would trigger the reformation I'm not getting into why so that plays a role so what I'm trying to convey in this long securitous way is that there's so many people who got baptized that you very well could be a descendant of the children of Israel. So research that. And finally to dial directly someone is not Jewish. We do have very clearly in Tanakh where the non-Jews will be coming to the land of Israel in the messianic age and because they'll feel a calling from the Messiah himself and he will give which means rebuke to the nations he will judge among the peoples and they will they will come up they will come up to you have the same thing in Isaiah chapter 60 really that the nations will come bearing gifts and so don't ask the sons of them that afflicted you that means the grandfather was a Nazi the grandchild and I've met the grandchildren of Nazis the grandchild the sons of them that afflicted you Isaiah 60:14 will come so there are the non-Jews will come to in the messianic age but the mitzvah in the to live in at all times is for the children of Israel okay so I want to be very direct with you. But if you feel a calling, such a calling, it behooves you to research your genealogy. Now, if you feel a calling there are to become you that's then don't ignore that calling. I'm not going to tell you that you should join the nation of Israel. If you feel so called, don't ignore it. On your end, you follow the calling. If you feel called to join the children of Israel, that's your personal calling. Okay. All right. Thank you so much for your thoughtful question.
