Believe it or not, one of ‘JR”s comments here has actually been very useful.

If you can be bothered, you can read the exchange HERE.

But this post is going to show us how Sabbatean ‘heretical’ teachings were snuck in to authentic Judaism – and have totally subverted it, from the inside.

Which is how we can live in a world where so many people dress ‘orthodox’, and even learn Torah, and have big beards all the rest of it, but can still be horrible pedophiles, or outright, G-d-and-His-Torah-denying heretics. (Secretly…)

Ready?

Let’s dive in.

====

The story begins with someone called the ‘Tiferet Yisrael’, who JR brought as his source for why vaccinations are good and holy, and why known Freemasons like Edward Jenner are actually ‘righteous gentiles’.

I started looking that guy up, and here is what I found, initially (from HERE).

Snippet:

“Rabbi Yisrael Lifshitz, known by the name of his commentary, the Tiferet Yisrael, was born in the year 1782 in the region of Poznan, which is located on the border between Poland and Germany.

According to the Tiferet Yisrael’s own testimony recorded in his introduction to Seder Taharot, he was part of a family with illustrious rabbinic lineage that dated back to Rabbi Moshe Isserles, the Rema. Indeed, it is known that many of his ancestors were prominent rabbis.”

This was enough to know I’d tripped over another ‘interesting’ person, so I decided to keep exploring.

====

Here’s a translation of his comments about Edward Jenner and Francis Drake:

(In English from HERE:)

It’s part of his discussion about the differences between Jews and non Jews, and his definition of a ‘righteous gentile’ where:

“It seems that advancing the world technologically earns a place in Olam HaBa (according to Tiferes Yisrael).”

====

[Talking about non-Jewish scientists and inventors]:

“We see many of them are righteous. Not only do they recognise the Creator of Genesis, and believe in His Torah that it is Divine, and they also do kindness like Yisrael.

Some have done extraordinary good things for the inhabitants of the world, like the righteous Jenner who invented the vaccine (for smallpox) which saves hundreds of thousand of people from illness, death or disfiguration.

And Drake (Sir Francis Drake 1540-1596) who brought the potato to Europe, and thus prevented famine many times. Or Guttenberg who invented the printing press.

==

Several of them were not paid at all in this world, like the righteous Johannes Reuchlin (1455-1522), who was prepared to lay down his life to prevent the burning of the Talmud. This was commanded by Caesar (Holy Roman Emporer) Maximillian (I) in the year 5262 through the activism of the heretic Pfefferkorn (1469-1523) and the priests, his wicked group.

This Reuchlin risked his life and based on his claims he persuaded the Caesar to retract his decree. Because of this he was hounded and the priests, his enemies, made his life a misery. They pressured him until eventually he died in dire straits and broken hearted.

Could we think that all these great deeds would not be repaid in the World-to-Come, behind the ‘curtain’ – Heaven forbid! God does not withhold the reward of any creature.

==

If you would suggest that even though these righteous people kept all the seven mitzvoth of Bnei Noach (from Sanhedrin 56b), nevertheless they do not have the status of ‘Ger Toshav’ since they did not accept these mitzvoth before three Rabbis (based on Avoda Zara 64b).

Furthermore, we do not accept Ger Toshav nowadays, only at the time that the mitzvah of Yovel applies (Erechin 29a). Even so, since they did not act like Esav, they have reward in the World-to-Come (based on Avoda Zara 10b).”

==

I’m in the middle of reading a book called ‘Dissolving Illusions’, about all the quackery, lies and deception that have been used for more than 200 years to persuade people that ‘vaccination works’.

When I’m done, I will precis the main information here.

But suffice to say, the Tiferet Yisrael was totally wrong about Edward Jenner.

And I also found it very eye-opening that he was so full of praise for Johannes Reuchlin, one of the leading xtian kabbalists of the 15th-16th century – and a key figure in my theory that ‘xtian kabbalists’ become ‘xtian zionists’ and then started looking for figure heads for their ‘zionist movement’ within the Jewish community itself.

More on that another time, but you can read more about Reuchlin HERE.

====

So, there were enough red flags waving away that I thought it was worthwhile to take a closer look at the Tiferet Yisrael, R’ Yisrael Lifshitz.

These days, the very first thing I try to check out is who is this guy related to?

Because in case you still didn’t get how this works, the only people who are allowed to ‘rise to the top’ in the Jewish community, unimpeded, and with lots of help from the ‘machine’, belong to Sabbatean-Frankist families.

(Remember this, next time you see the next ‘big thing’ from the Sabbatean-Frankists having a PR blitz all over the internet, and being acclaimed as the next (false…) messiah.)

====

In English, I was finding it hard to track down the details of his ‘illustrious genealogy’ – which happens a lot with the Sabbatean-Frankists who descend from the REMA, and many other of our ‘big names’.

But in Russian, it was another story, and I somehow got to THIS article, where I picked up some more important clues.

First, we learn that the Tiferet Yisrael was a big believer in Darwin’s (totally heretical, anti-Torah and anti-God) theory of evolution.

Snippet:

Many in the religious community are of the opinion that scientific theories of the development of the world in all possible variants, without exception, including catastrophism and the theory of evolution, completely do not correspond to the Torah and are completely incompatible with it. 

However, such an” obvious ” fact was not recognized by all the sages of the Torah. This article is dedicated to one of them — to Rav Yisrael Lifshitz, author of the famous commentary on the Mishnah “Tiferet Yisrael”.

====

The Tiferet Yisrael is doing a great job of ticking every ‘secret heretic’ box we’re stumbling over, so far!

Because you CANNOT believe in the Torah, really, and ALSO believe in the ridiculous, anti-Torah, anti-God theory of evolution.

(Which explains a lot about why you should really just steer clear of the heretics who write, read and comment on THIS blog….)

So, who is this guy?

====

Snippet:

In the introduction to his commentary on the Ta’aroth section, he states that his family is descended from the REMA (Rabbi Moshe Isserlis) and the Maharam of Padua. 

His grandfather, who was also called Yisrael Lifshitz, Rabbi of Kliva (Kleve), was directly involved in the sensational story of the so-called “Geth of Kliva”^[1] — he wrote this “geth” and published the book “Ohr Yisrael”, dedicated to the justification of his decision.

====

You can read more about the infamous ‘Get of Kleves’ HERE, on the Jewish Virtual Library site.

The controversy over the ‘Get of Kleves’ basically rent the orthodox rabbinate into pieces, as the different sides lined up and battled it out in some awful ways.

It did a great deal to lower the standing of the orthodox rabbinate in the eyes of the Jewish public – which was actually the whole point.

R Marvin Antelmann, in the second volume of his book ‘To Eliminate the Opiate’, says the following about the Cleves Get (from p 26):

====

While R Antelmann apparently believes R Israel Lipshuetz of Cleves was ‘duped’ by the Sabbatians in participating in their plot to carry on dismantling Rabbinic Judaism, I have to say I’m really not so sure he was a ‘passive’ participant.

Let’s see if we can figure out a bit more.

====

As we know, the Sabbatian-Frankists routinely married each other, down many generations (and also pre-dating Shabtai Tzvi / SHACH, because these families have been controlling the Jewish community for at least two millenia.)

That doesn’t mean everyone in these families was corrupt, but it DOES mean that anyone who attained prominence either was part of the machine from birth, or somehow married in to it, or got corrupted by it – or was virulently attacked by it.

So, I went back to the Russian site HERE to see if I could figure out a bit more about who these Lipshuetzs were marrying.

And that’s when things started to get really interesting.

====

First, let’s go back to ‘R Israel ben Eliezer Lipshuetz’, who issued the Kleves Get.

On the Jewish Encyclopaedia website HERE, we learn he was a student of R Yehezkel Katzenellenbogen, the Knesset Yehezkel.

There are ton of Knesset Yehezkel descendants in the Frankist family tree, and there is a lot of twisted and obscured genealogy, too, the hallmarks of Sabbatian-Frankist families.

We will come back to him another time, but R Yaakov Emden made it clear in his works that the Knesset Yisrael had a low character, and was particuarly interested in money and status.

====

Next, I started scooting around geni, to see what more clues I could pick up there.

HERE is the family tree, and below is a paired-down screenshot:

====

The dates are all off, as happens so many times in the family trees of the Sabbatean-Frankists.

(I am coming to the conclusion that because these people had ‘dual identities’, often as ‘leading rabbis’ and leading maskilim / freemasons / reformers, that many of these trees are kind of ‘padded out’ with these alter egos, to try to hide the trail of who they really were, and what they were really up to.)

But, I notice that ‘R Israel (ben Eliezer) Lipshutz’ has a son called ‘R Yaacov Kopel Lipschutz’ – and that name sticks in my head, because of a post I read a while back on the Kotzk blog, HERE.

Screenshot:

====

R Yaakov Koppel Lifshitz (Lipshutz) wrote a book called Sha’ar Gan Eden – and was a secret Sabbatean.

Here’s some pertinent snippets from the Kotzk blog:

After Shabbatai Tzvi died in 1676, the Jewish world was permeated with secret Sabbateans, many of whom presented a facade of Halachik observances to hide their messianic agendas and aspirations. See Shabbatai Tzvi – Roots run Deep….

SHAAR GAN EDEN:

R. Yaakov Koppel Lifschitz is best known for his Shaar Gan Eden which he wrote in Volhynia in the early 1700’s and which was printed posthumously in 1803.

In the preface to Shaar Gan Eden, R. Yaakov Koppel writes strongly against Sabbateanism.

However, the actual contents of his book show subscription to much of Sabbatean ideology. This disavowal was a common technique used frequently by many secret Sabbateans during that time.

====

So, now we have a clear link between this particular branch of the Lipshitz / Lipshuetz family, and the leading ‘secret Sabbateans’ who were off subverting the Jewish community any way they could.

But I’m still trying to pin down the dates, and the connections.

Israel ben Eliezer Lipshutz is married to Rivka Katzenellenbogen, and she descends from the same SHOR family that I keep writing about here, who gave rise to Jacob Frank, Elisha Shor, the Chabad dynasty – and possibly also the British Royal Family.

Like this:

JACOB SHOR m CHANA ISSERLES > YENTA SHOR m SHAUL KATZENELLENBOGEN (aka Shaul Broda) > MOSES KATZENELLENBOGEN (BRODA) (d. 1733) m JACHET LEAH HEILPRIN (1670-1740) > SHLOMO ZALMAN KATZENELLENBOGEN (b. 1690) m ? > RIVKA KATZENELLENBOGEN m ISRAEL BEN ELIEZER LIPSHUTZ (Kleve Get rabbi).

====

According to the skewed family tree on Geni, Rivka and Israel have two sons, 21 years apart:

Gedaliah Lipshitz (1746-1826) (the father of the Tiferet Yisrael)

And

Yaakov Kopel Lipshitz (1725-1784)

It’s possible, but highly unlikely, that you’d have only two siblings, 21 years apart….

So, there is some funny business going on here.

====

On the Encyclopaedia.com site HERE, we learn more about the Sabbatean writings of Yaacov Kopel, who this site says apparently died around 1740.

Snippet:

JACOB KOPPEL BEN MOSES OF MEZHIRECH (d. c. 1740), Polish kabbalist. Jacob was influenced by the Shabbatean movement in Poland, and he himself influenced Ḥasidism….

A close study of the kabbalistic doctrine of Jacob proves conclusively that his works included at least one part of a “credo” of *Nathan of Gaza, the prophet of Shabbetai Ẓevi, that substantial parts of his theosophical discussions were influenced by Nathan’s basic doctrines, and that his works contain many ideas and expressions similar to those of Jonathan *Eybeschuetz, another secret Shabbatean in Eastern Europe.

====

Pay attention:

Most of chassidut came down via people who were ‘secret Sabbateans’, and the Baal Shem Tov ‘sweetened’ and elevated much of their teachings, and caused many of them to make teshuva.

But by the time of Rabbenu, 50 years later, many of these chassidic leaders and their successors fell back under the sway of the original Sabbatean path – which at this point, had also fractured off into Frankists and Reformers, too – and fought tooth and nail against Rebbe Nachman and Breslov, who continued and expanded the true path of the ‘light’ of the BESHT.

Hamavin yavin.

====

Here’s another interesting snippet about the Sabbatean ‘Yaakov Koppel Lipshutz’, who otherwise has been kind of scrubbed right out of Jewish history:

 [I]t has been proved that he was the brother and pupil of a known Shabbatean, Ḥayyim of Ostraha (Ostrog), who influenced his writings.

====

On the one hand, I love finding snippets like this, as they give me more to go on.

And on the other – it drives me insane, that so much of this information was obviously clearly known even a generation or two ago, and has now been totally censored, and lied about, in our history books.

So, the ‘Sabbatean’ Yaakov Koppel Lipshutz descends from Moses / Moshe Lipshutz of Mezritch, and has a well-known Sabbatean brother called Hayyim of Ostraha.

(This Hayyim could well be the ‘Malach Haim‘, the famous Sabbatean prophet who converted many big rabbis to the cause…)

====

So now, I start digging around to see if I can find any more about this leading Sabbatean ‘Hayyim of Ostraha / Ostrog’, who has also been scrubbed from Jewish history.

For once, I seem to dig up a real connection on geni, inputted by real people, and not just ‘Geni disinformation gatekeepers’.

====

There’s a real grave stone.

There’s a real death record.

There are real ‘yichus brief’ descriptions in at least two books.

Here’s a little of what they tell us:

According to Sefer Nacheli Dvash, by Rav Shmuel Freidman, Rav Shmuel ben Chaim of Ostroh was a fourth generation descendant of [Shmuel Eliezer haLevi Eideles, MaHarSha], and seems to be named for him as well. They were from the same place of Ostroh, Ukraine.

---

According to Sefer Nacheli Dvash [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/3755] Shmuel Ostrah’s uncle was [Rabbi Aryeh Leib ben Asher, “Shaagas Aryeh” A.B.D. Minsk, Volozhin, Metz], and after his death, Shmuel was supposed to take over the Position of Av Beis Din of Metz after his uncle.

====

Well.

This brings me back to the ‘Shaagas Aryeh’ – another person whose family tree is totally messed up, in some deliberately incredible ways.

Let’s see if we can understand, a little, of why that might be.

First, believe it or not, there seem to be two ‘Shaagas Aryehs’.

The first one is Yehuda Aryeh Leib Sirkis, or Sirkin, who was the step-son of the TaZ, R David HaLevi Segal.

HERE‘s his geni profile:

====

As usual, his history is deliberately distorted, with a fake timeline given for him between 1592-1655.

Really, he was born in 1620 and died in 1710.

Why was this information deliberately manipulated like this?

Gershom Scholem’s book on Shabtai Tzvi can tell us.

====

There, we find a whole contemporary account reproduced about the meeting between Shabtai Tzvi (i.e. the SHACH, in his ‘messianic persona’) and the two messengers from Poland, the TaZ’s son and step-son, who he sent to check out the wannabe Moshiach.

I’m reproducing most of it below (you can find on pages 623-626 in Scholem’s book):

====

As they entered, they bent their knees and prostrated themselves before him.

Shabtai asked them, “Were you here during my festival and the Great Sabbath?” and they answered, “Yes, Our Lord.” He then asked, “And did you have any doubts [because I changed the Law]?” And they said, “God forbid…”

They wanted to tell him of the tribulations and massacres suffered by the Polish Jews, but Shabtai said: “You need not tell me. Behold the book Suc ha-Ittim… is open here with me all day long.” He added, “Why do you think I am dressed in red and my Torah scroll is draped with red? Because the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”

==

The envoys said, “Our Lord, for many years, and quite recently again, sacrifices and holocausts have been made because of our sins, and the sacrifice of Isaac has been repeated over and over again in Poland.” He replied, “I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,” (Devarim 32:42).

He revealed to them many kabbalistic mysteries, and then began to sing hymns and songs [arranged] according to the alphabet. When he came to the letter zayin he cried out, “Remember mine affliction and mine anguish!” (Lamentations 3:19) and wept bitterly.

Then he bade them sit at his side and, taking R. Isaiah [son of the TaZ] by the hand, asked him, “Are you the son of the Turey Zahav?”

And he answered, “Yes, Our Lord.”

Next, he asked R. Aryeh Leib [the ‘Shaagas Aryeh’ number one], “And you are the son of the same author’s present wife?”

And he answered, “Yes, Our Lord.” Then he inquired after the health of their father, and they answered….”May our Lord give us something to cure [our father].”

Thereupon, he gave them a piece of sugar, saying, “He shall eat this and be healed forthwith.” Then he took a silk coat, and also took off a valuable woolen garment that he was wearing, and said to R Aryeh Leib, “Take this coat and put it on your father, reciting the verse ‘The youth is renewed like the eagle,” (Psalms 103:5)….

==

He bade them sit at his side, but they replied, “Our Lord! It is sufficient for us to lick the dust of Our Lord; we must not approach the Holiness.”…

Shabtai took two gold coins, gave one to each and said, “When my kingdom will be manifest, you shall appear before me for a remembrance.” Then Shabtai took a scarf embroidered with gold and said to R. Isaiah, “Bow your head,” and when he had done so, he wrapped it around his neck and said, “I make you kings in this world; you shall be kings and princes before me.”

Then he took a scarf from the neck of one of the rabbis present, a certain R Gamaliel, and told them each to hold one end of the scarf. When they had done so, Shabtai stood facing them and began to dance, singing melodiously the whole Psalm 118….

Thus he continued to sing and to dance for about half an hour, and the envoys could barely contain their joy. Then Shabtai ordered everyone to leave the room, and when he was alone with the two emissaries he said, “I adjure you not to divulge to anyone, not even to your aged father R David Ha-Levi, that which I am now going to reveal to you.”

And he revealed to them great kabbalistic mysteries….

====

I wanted to quote this at length, because I want you to see for yourselves how much reverence these two emissaries – the son and the stepson of the TaZ – had for Shabtai Tzvi / SHACH.

Ask yourselves, what language were they speaking, these two emissaries from Poland, and apparently the ‘Salonikan’ Shabtai Tzvi?

Also, notice how Shabtai Tzvi gave each a gold coin (does that remind you of anything, or anyone?)

Also, notice how Shabtai Tzvi sang and danced with them.

And lastly, notice how the verses and biblical quotes tripped off his tongue so easily, as could only happen with someone extremely learned in Torah (like the SHACH….) and not what you’d expect from a crazy person off the street….

====

The point is:

Yehuda Aryeh Leib Sirkin clearly fell very hard under the spell of Shabtai Tzvi.

And so, it shouldn’t surprise you that a whole bunch of his descendants, both ‘scrubbed’ and unscrubbed, figure VERY prominently in the Sabbatean-Frankist family network.

And also happen to constitute a very large percentage of our own ‘big rabbis’ and leaders.

====

Let’s try to wrap this up.

Aryeh Leib Sirkin (Shaagas Aryeh Number 1, and huge fan of Shabtai Tzvi, 1620-1710)  apparently marries a few times, including:

• RIVKA SHOR
• RIKEL RACHEL HAMMERSCHLAG YAFFE

His descendants include a whole bunch of people you’ve heard of, including the Alter Rebbe of Chabad’s wife, Sterna Segal.

If you skip forward a few generations, Sirkin’s great-granddaughter marries R’ Asher ABD of Minsk – who is the father of the second person we are told went by the name of the ‘Shaagas Aryeh’, R Aryeh Leib ben Asher, ABD of Minsk, Volozhin and Metz (1695-1785).

====

Now, back to that mysterious Sabbatean ‘Hayyim of Ostroh’, brother and teacher of secret Sabbatean Yaakov Kopel Lipshutz.

Remember we learnt this:

According to Sefer Nacheli Dvash, by Rav Shmuel Freidman, Rav Shmuel ben Chaim of Ostroh was a fourth generation descendant of [Shmuel Eliezer haLevi Eideles, MaHarSha], and seems to be named for him as well. They were from the same place of Ostroh, Ukraine.

---

According to Sefer Nacheli Dvash [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/3755] Shmuel Ostrah’s uncle was [Rabbi Aryeh Leib ben Asher, “Shaagas Aryeh” A.B.D. Minsk, Volozhin, Metz], and after his death, Shmuel was supposed to take over the Position of Av Beis Din of Metz after his uncle.

====

Here is where I hit another dead end.

I can tell you that the ‘fourth generations descendants’ of the MaHarSha include a whole bunch of the Sabbatean-Frankists I’ve been writing about here, but I can’t find a specific ‘R Shmuel ben Chaim of Ostroh’ – because the REAL NAMES of these Sabbateans all got scrubbed or changed to something else.

The whole trick is figuring out who their ‘alter egos’ are, in our real Jewish world.

And of course, the second ‘Shaagas Aryeh’s’ family tree has been totally scrubbed.

====

We’ll stop there.

There are still so many gaps to fill in, so much scrubbed information, sometimes it’s so frustrating.

But, one thing we can say for sure, is that the vaccine-and-evolution-pushing ‘Tiferet Yisrael’ descends from a family that is chock-full of suspected Sabbateans.

To put this simply, the statements of all these heretical ‘modern science’ pushers in our Jewish community need to be very carefully evaluated, double-checked – and pushed back against.

And that includes double-checking the context, values and family trees of the ‘Torah personalities’ they bring to support their heretical statements and beliefs.

Because more often than not, when you take the time to flip that particular stone, you’ll find a whole bunch of Sabbatean-Frankists crawling out from underneath it.

TBC

====

UPDATE:

In that typically incestuous way of these Sabbatean-Frankist families, it looks like the Sha’agas Aryeh Number 2 is actually the first cousin of Ester Sirkis, the Knesset Yehezkel’s wife, mentioned above as the main ‘rabbi’ of the Cleves Get Rabbi Lipshutz.

Round and round it goes…
