Ever wonder why some ice creams (particularly those that are reddish in color), strawberry milk, candied cherries, fruit drinks, candy yogurts (outside of the gelatin issue), IMITATION crab meat (made from kosher fish, such as Pollock/Snow Cod), and other seemingly kosher foods are never given the Kosher stamp of approval? It seems that there has been much concern from both Jewish and vegan groups (and rightly so) over the FDA’s decision to allow manufacturers to hide the fact that these “food” items have a dye added to them which is made with the ground up bodies of dried insects. The Associated Press has recently published an article on this concern and the FDA’s continued debate on the required labeling of such additives (as of now, these ingredients are not required to be listed at all).
All of the aforementioned items are nearly guaranteed to have this concoction added to them in order to enhance their visual appeal. However, this is a serious problem for anyone truly wanted to eat kosher, but has grown weary of trying to find that little circle-K or circle-U (among many other) stamp of approval from a Rabbinic authority on every item they purchase at the grocery store. Issues such as this may cause a return to a reliance upon the Rabbinic authorities, even from those who would not like to be bound to such restrictions. It appears this is definitely a time when the “Rabbis know best.”

This email was recently forwarded to me by a friend of mine. It was sent to him by a friend of his living in Israel, who made aliyah a few years back. The original email came from a lady named Ashirah, who is a non-Jew living in Israel. There is some incredible stuff about to happen. Whether good or bad is yet to be seen, but it is definitely a huge tick in the eschatological time clock.

On this coming Monday, January 9th, the Sanhedrin is hosting a full-day event to honor and to conduct the swearing in of the first ever High Council of Bnei Noach. In fact, it will be the first time in 2000 years that Bnei Noach have stood before the Court of the Sanhedrin and taken an oath of allegiance to keep the Seven Universal Laws of mankind. It is a hugh Kiddush Hashem (Sanctification of G-d’s Name) and the Sanhedrin Rabbis believe it will “open the floodgates” for the revelation of the Righteous Gentiles of the world.
We will be filming the event for our documentary. Not only has the Sanhedrin given us permission to film, the Leadership Committee of the Sanhedrin determined yesterday to give us priority over all the other media, national and international, who will be in attendance. We will be the only camera allowed to film from the bimah. This is a huge honor, for which we stand in awe and trembling before Hashem. We will also be interviewing the members of the High Council of Bnei Noach. Please ask that Hashem provide us with the sensitivity, insight and wisdom to glorify His Name in every aspect of the privilege being extended to us.
As if this news was not overwhelming enough, there is more.
The Leadership Committee of the Sanhedrin has asked me to be a speaker at Monday’s event, to give a lecture for women on the Seven Noahide Laws, their significance for mankind and my journey to Judaism. I will be the only woman to speak and the lecture will be open to the Press. Rabbi bar Rhon told me that the decision of the Committee was unanimous. They have asked me to speak for up to an hour. Please, please, pray that Hashem will give me wisdom as to what to prepare, that the words He desires be shared be placed in my heart, mind and upon my lips. This will be the most important lecture I have ever given in my life.

It’s a fact that can’t be denied. However, if you say it on the job you can be fired. Just ask Michael Graham of WMAL radio in Washington D.C. who was let go just hours after making the comment on air. ABC / Disney was backed into a corner moments after his comments (which were even Pro-islam in their original context) which led to his release. Read the story here. And if you want to see how the muslims responded, sending out a massive message to its massive hord, you can read it here.
The fact remains:
ISLAM = TERRORISM & PAGAN RELIGION

Over the past few weeks there have been new developments with the re-established Sanhedrin. The newest event was the election of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz as the Nasi, or President. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Steinsaltz, he is a Kabbalist rabbi who is also a prolific author, publishing approximately fifty-eight works to date. These include such works as:
- The Thirteen Petalled Rose
- The Essential Talmud
- We Jews : Who Are We and What Should We Do
- The Steinsaltz Talmud (his most noted, ongoing achievement)
Rabbi Steinsaltz also founded the Israel Institute for Talmudic Publications. Newsweek Magazine is quoted as saying:
“Jewish lore is filled with tales of formidable rabbis. Probably none living today can compare in genius and influence to Adin Steinsaltz, whose extraordinary gifts as scholar, teacher, scientist, writer, mystic and social critic have attracted disciples from all factions of Israeli society.”
Subsequent postings will detail events as they progress.
