Kaparot and Kol Nidrei: Voodoo and Perjury at Yom Kippur

Mea Shearim section of Jerusalem, October 5, 2011

By Michael Hoffman 

October 6, 2011  www.revisionisthistory.org 

First I'd like to thank the many people both in the U.S. and around the world who responded to our Oct. 4 announcement and  pre-ordered this writer's revised and expanded paperback, Judaism's Strange Gods, which should be ready to ship in late November. Among the many who ordered, we spotted, from the e-mail address he used to place the order, one of America's top scientists. Our privacy policy forbids us from disclosing his name, but we are of course elated that this eminent gentleman is taking an interest in our work. Is this a harbinger of better things to come for our truth mission? 

Yom Kippur, that glorious orgy of rabbinic self-congratulation, begins Friday evening, Oct. 7, whereby the western world will watch in awe as "pious Jews" beg God for forgiveness, strive for righteousness and, in the run-up to the holy day, transfer their sins to a chicken.

Say what? 

It's called kaparot. It doesn't fit the misty, gauzy, Spielbergian image of Orthodox Judaism, does it? Talmudists shlugging (twirling) a chicken over their heads in the belief that by reciting the Mahzor prayers while doing so, they are transferring their sins to the chicken!

Kaparot is the pre-Yom Kippur voodoo that the media are reluctant to report. When they do report it they usually omit the twirling and the belief in sin transference to the unfortunate fowl. China's news agency, in covering the kaparot rites in Jerusalem this week, reduced them to nothing more than "the symbolic slaughter of chickens as an act of atonement."

Judaism's kaparot ritual is such a patently pagan rite that it has the power to shock even gullible goyim out of their hypnotic slumber. The first 40 seconds of this rare kaparot video features the actual chicken shlugging (the rest of the video shows believers dumping crumbs into the water, preceded by a cacophony of rabbinic clamor).

After the kaparot voodoo concludes, the perjurer's ceremony begins: on Yom Kippur the infamous rite of Kol Nidrei takes place, almost always explained away to the outside world as a blessed ritual of begging God for forgiveness for oaths that were violated, contracts that were broken and promises that were not kept in the past year.

The trouble is, that pious picture is a phony.

Kol Nidrei is actually a ceremony whereby: 1. all the perjury you will commit in the coming year and 2. all contracts you will sign and violate in the coming year, and 3. all the promises you will break in the coming year, are absolved, with no heavenly punishment accruing as a result. That's the actual reality of Yom Kippur's Kol Nidrei rite, and its one reason why Yom Kippur is the best-attended of all of Judaism's synagogue ceremonies. Fraudsters like to have an edge and during Yom Kippur that entails making God a senior partner in the sting.

The truth about Yom Kippur's Kol Nidrei ritual is usually dismissed by the rabbis and their mouthpiece media as a "loathsome antisemitic canard." They hurl this accusation in the expectation that the public will not consult the documentation and will instead accept at face value the word of the godly rabbis and their American "news media."

The clever trick is that the lies that are retailed about Kol Nidrei are absolved by Kol Nidrei itself. It's a kind of invincible circuit that reinforces its own deceit. You have to pity people ensnared in this sordid charade of cajoling God into helping them cheat.

Little of this harsh reality will surface in the next few days, however. Instead, the corporate media will spout warm and fuzzy shibboleths about Yom Kippur as part of the sly masquerade by which Judaism ascends ever higher over the West.

Steve Jobs: 'Death Is the Single Best Invention of Life'

 

Below is an excerpt from his June 12, 2005, speech.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer....More:

Prof. Kevin Macdonald hit the mark on his BLOG, about Gilad Atzmon

 

Prof. Kevin Macdonald hit the mark on his BLOG, Oct. 3, 2011:

Excerpt:

Atzmon is at his best in dealing with the culture of the Holocaust. In Chapter 16 ("Trauma queen") he dismisses the reality of Jewish Holocaust trauma among Jews who never actually went through the experience, noting that whatever feelings they have are manufactured by what he calls the "Pre-Traumatic Stress Syndrome" — where Jews are manipulated into feeling trauma by media images of imminent destruction and by being transported to Auschwitz for the purpose of "maturing into traumatised Jewish adults" (p. 131), thereby suppressing any possible empathy for the Palestinians. "The well-established Judeo-centric tendency to interpret almost any political and ideological criticism as a declaration of impending Judeocide is a severe form of collective Pre-TSS" (p. 131). There is always a "Shoah to come" (p. 132) lurking around the corner, likely to be set off by any criticism of Jews, no matter how rationally based (see also here, pp. 11–12).

Atzmon notes that the Holocaust cult has all the features of a religion and none of the features of a historical narrative:

It has priests (e.g., Simon Wiesenthal, Elie Wiesel, Deborah Lipstadt) and prophets (… those who warn of the Iranian Judeocide to come). It has commandments and dogmas ('Never Again') and rituals (memorial days, pilgrimage to Auschwitz, etc). It has an established, esoteric symbolic order (kapos, gas chambers, chimneys…). It also has a temple, Yad Vashem, and shrines — Holocaust museums in capital cities worldwide. The Holocaust religion is also financed by a massive global financial network …. This new religion is coherent enough to define its 'antichrists' (Holocaust deniers) and powerful enough to persecute them (through Holocaust-denial and hate-speech laws). (pp. 148–149)

The Holocaust has therefore achieved "meta-historical status" — beyond factual inquiry, its "'factuality' sealed by draconian laws, and its reasoning secured by social and political institutions" (p. 149). It is a powerful political force on behalf of Jewish interests—e.g., it "is touted as a pretext for nuking Iran" (p. 152).

Many of these points have also been made by Peter Novick his The Holocaust in American Life. Novick adds that the culture of the Holocaust was promoted as the main source of Jewish identity and in the effort to combat assimilation and intermarriage among Jews. An important lesson is that "tolerance and diversity [are] good; hate [is] bad, the overall rubric [being] 'man's inhumanity to man'" (pp. 258-259). The Holocaust has thus become an instrument of Jewish ethnic interests as an instrument to silence opponents of high levels of multi-ethnic immigration into Western societies. And, regarding the metaphysical uniqueness of the Holocaust, it would be hard to improve on Abe Foxman's comment, cited by Novick (p. 199) that the Holocaust is "not simply one example of genocide but a near successful attempt on the life of God's chosen children and, thus, on God himself."

Atzmon makes the interesting point that the Holocaust religion is simply another version of age-old Jewish fear — the pre-traumatic stress syndrome discussed above. It is a bunker mentality of impending doom that rationalizes even the most extreme actions to prevent it. One might also note that it functions as a modern version of Jewish chosenness — that Jews are a special people whose sufferings are unique.

Atzmon is not so much a Holocaust denier as someone who denies the metaphysical status that the Holocaust has achieved—its uniqueness, its being beyond questioning, and its historical transcendence—all of which have made it into an enormously powerful weapon for achieving Jewish interests and in particular for making Israel's behavior beyond reproach. Thus, he does not deny that his great-grandmother died in WWII, but he refuses to give her death any special status: Her death "was indeed bad and tragic, but not that different from the fate of millions of Ukrainians, on learning the real meaning of communism. … [Her fate] was not so different from hundreds of thousands of German civilians who died in deliberate, indiscriminate bombing, just because they were Germans" (p. 175).
