Jewish celebration: Hanukkah rap songs


U.S. Christian Zionists support Israel?
Here's a Celebration of Judaism, or at least the Orthodox religious variety as expressed in the idiom of American gangsta rap and hip-hop, parody and pop rock, with an emphasis on irony, mockery, contradictory and satirical sensibilities rather than the usual secular variety we mostly get shoved down our media-saturated throats in bicoastal cosmopolitan America. Hooray for Max Blumenthal, Dr. Gabor MateAaron Mate, Medea Benjamin, Amy Goodman, and others who keep it real in a biased media landscape of apologists, propagandists, complicit aiders and abettors, and secular Zionists hungry for self-righteous war.
Bezz Believe: "Jew Not Like Us (Synagogue of Satan Diss)" [Official Video]
(Bezz Believe Music) Summer 2024: BezzBelieve.com Super Zionist Ashkenazi rapper @BezzBelieve Shot by: Bryan D & ‪@CrackaLackTV‬ [It is the custom of hip-hop culture and rap to borrow tracks and spit original lines over them, so this track takes Kendrick Lamar's "They Not Like Us (Drake Diss)" and repurposes it as is standard practice. It is not a rip-off but a derivative original work with a strong message. Respect. Sorry, Satan (the Adversary), but what's up, B*tch?]


Shalom Auslander: Foreskin's Lament
(mekelladmb) The funniest guest at Jewish Book Week 2008. Have a look at this preview of Shalom Auslander's new American Orthodox Jewish memoir, Foreskin's Lament.

Hanukkah (also Chanukkah) is a Jewish festival commemorating the recovery of Jerusalem and subsequent rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE. [The genocidal God of war and domination is never satisfied but keeps his soldiers fighting for empire and control.]
The Jew in the Lotus
The Jew in the Lotus
is a 1994 book by Rodger Kamenetz about a historic dialogue between rabbis and the 14th Dalai Lama, the first recorded major dialogue between experts in Judaism and [Tibetan] Buddhism [1, 2]. The book was a popular success and became an international best-seller.

Writing in The New York Times, Verlyn Klinkenborg cited its broader relevance as a book "about the survival of esoteric traditions in a world bent on destroying them" [3]. The book was primarily potent in capturing an ongoing engagement in the U.S. between Jews, often highly secularized (nonreligious), and Buddhist teachings.

Kamenetz popularized the term JuBu or Jewish Buddhist, interviewing poet Allen Ginsberg, vipassana ("insight meditation") teacher Joseph Goldstein, Ram Dass (Harvard Prof. Richard Alpert, Ph.D.). and other American Jews involved with bringing Eastern traditions to the West.

The book also made prominent a Jewish mystical response to Eastern spirituality in the Jewish renewal movement, led by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and Jewish meditation as taught by Rabbi Jonathan Omer-Man.

Jewish Buddhists, an American Tradition - Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
The title is a pun
on the famous Vajrayana Buddhist mantra Om mani padme hum, which is frequently interpreted as "hail to the jewel in the lotus."

First published in 1994 by Harper San Francisco, it is now on its 37th reprint. In fall of 2007 the paperback was reissued with an afterword that updated readers on Jewish-Buddhist dialogues.

The Jew in the Lotus inspired a PBS documentary of the same name produced and directed by Laurel Chiten, released theatrically in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, and subsequently on Independent Lens on Sept. 1, 1999 [4].

Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson writes, "Outside the academy, by far the most influential text on Buddhism and Judaism is Rodger Kamenetz's 1994 bestseller, The Jew in the Lotus.

"On one level, Lotus is a travelogue, recounting a historic (or quixotic) meeting between an assortment of rabbis and the Dalai Lama.

But because Kamenetz perceptively and astutely detailed the participants' varying ways of relating to Buddhism, including his own, it became a kind of BuJu Bible. It did not recount history so much as make it. It would not be an exaggeration to divide American Buddhist Jewish life into the time before and after Lotus's publication." More


From Drugs and Guns to Orthodox Judaism | Gangsta Rap International - Israel
(Noisey) Winter 2019: In the latest episode of Gangsta Rap International, Noisey host Chuckie goes to Israel to investigate a unique story. D Black was a drug-dealing gang member and gangsta rapper in Seattle, USA, who then became a devout Jew, moved his family to Israel, and became a successful artist out there. He still raps but rather than speak of his upbringing around criminality, Nissim Black (as he’s now known) has a more spiritual message now.

F to Zionist-Israel and its war(s)!

The Ultra-Orthodox vs. The IDF: Israel's Other Religious War
(VICE News) Oct 23, 2014: Since Israel's inception, the Haredi — religious ultra-Orthodox adherents of Judaism — have been exempt from Zionist Israel's military conscription laws.

But their growing population, coupled with their high unemployment rate and dependence on state benefits [a country they were in and living in peace before Ashkenazi invaders came with the West to take over Palestine to further colonial British and imperial American Christian-Zionism to promote Western influence in the Middle East/North Africa and oil-extraction, militarism, Big Pharma, weapons manufacturing, and geopolitical full-spectrum dominance], sparked outrage within the country's secular majority.

Do good deeds (kusala karma) or mitzvahs

After years of demanding that the religious Haredi share the secular responsibility of serving in the offensive armed forces (euphemistically called the "IDF" while no one dare speak of the secretive Mossad and Shin Bet war promoters), the Israeli government passed an unprecedented law in March 2014 that requires Haredi males to serve in the military.

The decision resulted in major opposition from the Ultra-Orthodox community, from violent protests to religious leaders demanding that no one should comply but instead dissent and engage in civil disobedience.
