         How odd of God, to choose the Jews. . .   *

Below, we focus more on figures who aren't generally known to be Jews - like "Capt. Kirk," "the Three Stooges," or Paula Abdul, say - than on Jews like Jerry Seinfeld or Jon Stewart, for example, who are.

We often hear from people, non-Jews, who complain about "the Jews."   

They regard the Children of Israel as failures. If the Jews, in God's system, are supposed to serve Him and humanity as a nation of priests, a light to the nations (See Exodus 19:6; Isaiah 43:12, 49:6; and Jeremiah 22:29,  for instance), they're extremely disappointing, they say. "If that's the Jews' job," they ask, "why aren't they doing it?"  

And in your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed My voice. Genesis 22:18

We also hear from Jews - very Orthodox Jews, known as black hat or yeshivish Jews (from the black hats they wear and from their yeshivas or Torah schools) - who feel the same way. Albert Einstein, to their way of thinking, was a tragic figure: "A Jew with a good brain like that, he might have contributed something to Torah scholarship, but instead he wasted his time on physics!"  

Albert Einstein, 1921

With all respect, we all need to look at the record. The God of Israel is the God Who works in history, through history, to accomplish His goals. Israel's history, particularly, has a lot to teach us about God - about how God operates in the world - and how the Torah and the Biblical system practically function, right here in this world, to do God's work. We can glimpse it in Biographies, in the brief list that follows - a sort of massively abbreviated Who's Who list - of the Jewish People. See below

         That Your Way may be known upon earth,
       Your salvation among all nations.
Psalms 67:3

Now, even though Biographies is extremely limited, it clearly shows that something is going on with the Children of Israel that needs looking into, that's under-rated and more-than-natural. It suggests, at least, that something in Israel's Torah-system is uniquely God-given. The phenomenon of Israel in the world is one of the proofs of God that God gives the world - to help lead us to Him.

This is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples [who shall say]: 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.' (Deuteronomy 4:6) But the aggrandizement of Israel was not an end in itself: it was to demonstrate to the children of men the Divine in Human History (J.H. Hertz, "The Hertz Torah")

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.   Psalms 42:3

(See Part of the Plan in Action, the Story of Dr. T.K. Loveless in our Covenant Connection. God works in mysterious, obscure ways - often, very often, using Jews, as can be seen in the life of this good doctor. . . .)

I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that My salvation may be unto the end of the earth.  Isaiah 49:6

Mad Magazine cover by Harvey Kurtzman
"For the first 23 issues of Mad, Harvey Kurtzman wrote every word." The New York Times Book Review, 8/9/09: "Mad, the Art of Rebellion" See Harvey Kurtzman

People who say that there is no God can argue about many things convincingly - but they can never convincingly explain away the phenomenon of Israel.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.   (Former President) John Adams, 2/16/1809

  * It's not so odd. The Jews chose God.

If there is no God, the Jews simply make no sense. (See Does History Point to God?  Charts by John C.L. Hulley)

Nobel Prize-winners chart from John Hully article

If there were no God, how did the Jews come to be, and how could they survive?

When you're through reading this, check out: What Happens to the Rothschilds? and What's the Secret of Jewish Succes?

How, even in the face of severe prejudice and oppression, do the People of Israel so often manage to not just survive but thrive? Why, when they are so few in number, do they play such a big role in the world?

And why are the enemies of Israel, the Jew-haters, such losers?

Nazis, Stalinists, the Ku Klux Klan, the Spanish Inquisition, Aryan Nations, Russia's Black Hundreds, Cossack pogromists, Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, al-Qaeda and the World Trade Center bombers. . . the one enemy they all have in common is Israel . . . (For more on this, see: "Now Comes Amalek," in our newsletter, Covenant Connection , and "The Counter Revolution" (June '09 Covenant Connection) )

And I will bless them that bless you, and curse them that curse
you, and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:3                               

Maybe we could try to view this from a higher point . Take a look at this little article by the late Aryeh Kaplan, If You Were God

Suppose you have before you a Sims-like challenge: an island occupied by several tribes who, while they have infinite potential, are - to say the least - exploitative and belligerent. This causes much suffering, from poverty, prejudice and war. You have great powers with which to influence them, control over weather, subliminal suggestion, etc., . . . but if you reveal yourself too plainly to them you will shock them into "almost vegetable" passive dependence, or provoke them to rebellion. You want them to make something of themselves, to serve you better . . . so, what if you start with just some of them, one of their smallest tribes . . . .

And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation   Exodus 19:6

               Two Jews for Jesus (Jews never turn into non-Jews - that's not God's system. See Ezekiel 20:32-33: [Jews may say] 'We shall be as the nations, as the families of the countries'. . . 'As I live, sayeth the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I be king over you.')

St. John the Baptist                                             St. Mary Magdelene<br>The Penitent         

John the Baptizer                                                        Mary of Magdalene

 

Naturally, the People of Israel are just people, with all the good and bad that goes with that. And we, the editors, don't make judgments - not many, anyway - on the individuals who named here. This is a casually put-together list, a light dusting, as it were, of Jews who make or made a difference. (The people listed here are just some who came to mind.) In the meantime, we remember that such personages from long ago, Samson, David, Saul, Solomon, Isaiah, Hillel, Joshua, Gideon, Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Joshua, Deborah, Sarah, Leah, Rebecca, Jephta, Samuel, Naomi and Ruth, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezra, and the Macabees - and others, such as Jesus (and his Jewish mother), for instance, his apostles, relatives, and Paul, among others, were all Jews.

Nazism's accursed founder developed great hatred for the Jews when, as he wrote in Mein Kampf, he discovered that most of the newspaper and magazine political writers that he hated most, Social Democrats in Germany, were Jewish. What he didn't know was that, on the other side of the debate, many of the leading thinkers who opposed the Social Democratic movement - economists, bankers, scientists, industrialists and writers - were Jewish too.

It's like these two, for instance:

Judge Julius Hoffman, the anti-Abbie

Abbie Hoffman, the anti-Julius Hoffman

The Jews belong to the world in an odd way. With the possible exception of the modern United States, there never was a nation that combined so many other nations and raised them to full membership, no other people that included so many different peoples, races, DNA and blood.

I will say to them that were not My people, 'You are My people,' and they shall say, 'You are my God.' Hosea 2:25

Thanks to Israel being a religion as well as a nation, countless converts have joined the Jews. That, combined with the fact that a Jew is anyone whose mother was Jewish, so Jews are black, and Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arab, Chaldean, French, German, and even New Guinean, say, makes Israel a religion, a world-historical force, and, truly, a nation including every nation.

Israel remains "one of the fewest of all peoples" (Deuteronomy 7:7). Even before the Holocaust in Europe (which killed about one out of every three Jews), Mark Twain likened Earth's Jewish population, compared to the whole of humanity, to "a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way."

Today some 13.3 million Jews live in the world. Their growth rate is zero (balancing births and conversions to Judaism against deaths). So less than .003 of the world's population, or fewer than three out of every thousand persons, can be counted among Moses' "kingdom of priests" - and, of course, their relative numbers are rapidly declining. In the United States, Jews don't make up even 2% of the population (before 1960, it was 4%-plus).

There are many more ethnic Swedes, Hondurans, Scots, Swiss, Senegalese, Guatemalans, and Portuguese in the world than there are Jews.  

If my theory of relativity is proved true, Germany will claim me as a German, and France will proclaim me a citizen of the world. If it is proved untrue, France will call me a German, and Germany will call me a Jew.  Dr. Albert Einstein

So said Einstein. In fact, most reference books today refer to Einstein only as a German or American.

Many Jews don't like to be widely known as Jews because it hurts them professionally, or, in some cases, even endangers them physically. This makes the production of a list like the one below fairly challenging.

For example, "the King Bee," an American naval officer who founded the U.S. Navy's Seabees, is almost never described as Jewish. He was, though - as Jewish as Moses or any rabbi.

Similarly, Australia's John Monash, a World War I hero, was often dismissed as "just a German Jew" while he lived, but after he died, when it was just praise, he became "an Australian of German parentage." [In fairness, since 2000 or so, what Australian writers call his "Prussian-Jewish background" is often recognized.]

Whenever we had a doubt about someone's being Jewish, when there was either no Orthodox conversion to Judaism or when the person did not have a Jewish mother (that is, the person's mother's mother wasn't Jewish) -

the humorist Dorothy Parker, for instance; the writer J.D. Salinger; the Wittgensteins (great philosopers and artists); Carly Simon; Paul Newman; David Janssen; Oliver Stone; Gloria Steinem; chessmaster Boris Spasky; U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, and many others

- or if we just weren't sure, that person didn't make the list.       

When we come to interesting obituaries and biographies we usually want to know about the person's background - and we believe that one can learn a lot about God and His Ways and the nature of history by doing so.

The story of the Jews in the world is a story of realized prophecies  - which testify to the holiness and wisdom of the Torah.

"This is your wisdom and your understanding. . . what great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this Torah. . . . " - Deuteronomy 4:6-8.

So - we read people's obituaries and biographies, check on their names, and look for small clues, looking for God's "fingerprints" and His handiwork in the world . . . We hope to convey to you, dear Reader, the same viewpoint and habit.

How Odd of God

As the Americans who went to war in World War II took some ideas about what it means to be "a real man" from actors like Clark Gable, Jimmy Cagney and Errol Flynn; and their sons, the baby boomers, Vietnam War-era men, learned from movie role models played by actors like John Wayne, Sean Connery (and Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis); millions of the boys and men who fought for America in World War I, who fathered the World War II generation and shaped the nature of modern-era America, learned to be "strong, silent Americans" from Broncho Billy.

Born Yisroel Be'er Yosaphat, the son of a rabbi, he not only changed his name buthis religion, by converting to Christianity. But - a Jew is a Jew whether atheist, agnostic, Christian, or whatever. However, that man's children will probably not be Jewish - because they probably won't have a Jewish mother. Reuter's kids didn't.

Born to Jewish parents who converted to Christianity, raised as a Lutheran, he called himself an agnostic who "respected" the moral teachings of Judaism and Christianity.
