Defeat at Sarikamish, 1914
Main article: Battle of Sarikamish
Enver Pasha assumed command of the Ottoman forces arrayed against the Russians in the Caucasus theatre. He wanted to encircle the Russians, force them out of Ottoman territory and take back Kars and Batumi, which had been ceded after the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78.
Enver thought of himself as a great military leader, while the German military adviser, Liman von Sanders, thought of him as a military buffoon.[3]
Enver ordered a complex attack on the Russians, placed himself in personal control of the Third Army, and was utterly defeated at the Battle of Sarikamish in December–January 1914–1915. His strategy seemed feasible on paper, but he had ignored the external conditions such as the terrain and the weather. Enver's army (90,000 men) was defeated by the Russian force (100,000 men) and in the subsequent retreat, tens of thousands of Turkish soldiers died. This was the single worst defeat of an Ottoman army in all of World War I.
On his return to Istanbul, Enver Pasha blamed his failure on his Armenian soldiers, forgetting that in January 1915 an Armenian named Hovannes saved his life during a battle by carrying Enver on his back through battle lines .[4] He later initiated the repressive measures against the empire's Armenian population that were an early stage of the Armenian Genocide.[5][6][7][8]
Enver thought of himself as a great military leader, while the German military adviser, Liman von Sanders, thought of him as a military buffoon.[3]
Generalleutnant Otto Liman von Sanders (February 17, 1855 - August 22, 1929) was a German general who served as adviser and military commander for the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
He was born in Stolp in Pomerania region in Germany. His father was a Jewish nobleman

CASA MANGA: HOME OF THE LAST JEWISH PASHA
By Samir Raafat,
December 1997
On account of its mango color and Hispanic inhabitants, Maadi's regulars call it Casa Manga. They are referring to the residence of senor Hector Cardenas, the incumbent Mexican Ambassador to Egypt. Both Hector and his wife Martha Suarez, are consummate artists. He is into painting with several exhibitions to his name and la senora Cardenas is into flower arrangements some of which have been immortalized on canvass by her husband.
Flowers have never been wanting in Maadi's largest patch of green. And lest anyone thing this unique three-acre garden of hesperides is Cardenas's doing, suffice to say it existed long before Egypt established relations with the United States of Mexico back in the 1960s.
Casa Manga along with its three identical and contiguous siblings were built in the late 1920s by lawyer Emanuel Mizrahi. One house was for himself and his piano-playing wife Leah Assayas, and one each for his son George and daughter Lydia. No one knew for whom the fourth house was destined, but as it turned out, it was leased out to Princess Ulfet Fadil, a divorced Egyptian princess who lived there with her Russian lady in waiting, Madame Schallenberg, until they both expired in the 1960s.
George A. Mizrahi (later spelt Misrahy) never occupied his house preferring to relocated in the United States with his young bride Nimet Cattaui. His sister Lydia on the other hand married an accountant-mathematician, Raoul Farahat, and turned her house on Road 18 into a giant studio. In her youth Lydia had studied art under the French master André Lhote and later under Maadi's homegrown Swiss artist, Margo Veillon. Most of these sessions took place in a delightful gingerbread-like studio tucked away at the far end of Mizrahi's beloved garden.
The stone-built studio was also where Lydia took refuge. The fair rebel would spend many hours with her pet monkey Manolli and her avant-garde friends most of whom would have never met with her dominant father's approval.
One particular friend, the son of a rich Jewish financier, had visions of painting Egypt's entire political scene red. In fact Henri D. Curiel was the unofficial architect of Egyptian communism. Many years later he would lend his support to the bloody Algerian War of Independence. Later, he would offer his family mansion on Zamalek's Hassan Sabri Street to serve as Algeria's first embassy to Egypt.
Another one of Lydia's friends was the Syrian Père Ayrout, whose contractor papa worked for Baron Empain and helped build Heliopolis. The prodigal son took to traveling by donkey around Upper Egypt's underprivileged countryside preaching love and compassion. Lydia accompanied the Born Again preacher on one or two of these neo-biblical wanderings.
A infrequent visitor was the much older Hassan Fathi, father of Egypt's revival architecture. His dream was to paintbrush Egypt's rural landscape with arches and dome-topped mud-brick houses. He called it the architecture of the poor. A living testimonial to his visions exists today in New Mexico.
The members of Lydia's inter-denominational coterie knew what they wanted. But whatever their purpose and motives, all were inspired at one time or another by the Mizrahi garden.
Emanuel Mizrahi, whose origins can be found in Istanbul, was a hard working self-made man. His Cairo law firm Mizrahi & Rosetti (originally Pezzi & Rosetti) was one of the best which is probably why it was handpicked by King Fouad to handle all matters concerning the khasa malakia--royal privy estates. Not surprising therefore that Mizrahi received the honorary title of 'pasha' by separate decree in February 1940. If anything the act of royal recognition was to make Emanuel Mizrahi the last Jewish pasha in history.

- "Long before the 'cultural revolution' of Communist China, and starting before the Bolshevik Jews of Russia destroyed Christianity and Christians in the Slavic World, the Doenmeh (the Secret Jews of Turkey), and especially Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk), tried very hard to strip Turkey of its religion and of its culture. It is vital to World Jewry to prevent the Muslims of Turkey from taking back their nation and their faith, and aligning themselves with their Muslim neighbors."

Secular Republic of Turkey was Founded by Secret Jews
Subject: It’s time to learn the truth about Jewish dictator Mustafa Kemal and the current oppressive Secular (Kemalist) regime in Turkey. The secret Jews, called Doenmeh, took over the power after the fall of Ottoman rule and they brainwash the people of Turkey from that time on. The below article clarifies many things.
Source: Kulanu quarterly newsletter, Summer 1999, Volume 6 Number 2
(Kulanu is an organization which reflects the community of interests of individuals of varied backgrounds and religious practices dedicated to finding and assisting lost and dispersed remnants of the Jewish people)
The Turkish – Israeli Connection and Its Jewish Roots
By Joseph Hantman
One of the most significant developments in recent Middle East affairs is the close relationship which now exists between Turkey and Israel in military, political, economic and intelligence matters. This change in the power structure is usually attributable to the old Arab maxim “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Since both Turkey and Israel count Syria and Iraq as their strongest threats, the close ties between Turkey and Israel are quite logical.
However, there is good evidence of a less widely known but absolutely fascinating story behind this relationship. Turkey, which has a population almost exclusively Muslim, has a government which by law is committed to being totally secular. This goes back to modern Turkey’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk), 1881-1938, leader of the Young Turk Movement which took over after World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Ataturk and his followers moved rapidly to end religious domination and many religious practices in the daily life of the country. They decreed a change from the Arabic alphabet to the Roman, and they outlawed the fez and the veil. They opened schools to both boys and girls, and their main goal was to Westernize Turkey and secularize its practices. The Turkish army has been the main enforcement agent of this secular policy in times of rising fundamentalism among some groups.
Some Background Data
In the 18th and early 19th century Salonika (now Thesalonika), under Turkish rule in Greece, was the unofficial capital of Sephardic Jewry. Of the three groups in the city, the Jews were larger than the combined Greek Orthodox and Muslim population.
The Jews dominated the commerce of the city and controlled the docks of this major seaport. There were great synagogues and academies of rabbinic study. Moslem shops closed on Friday, Greek Orthodox on Sunday, and most shops and businesses were closed on Shabbat. Ladino, the beautiful mix of Spanish and Hebrew, was the lingua franca of the city and “Shabbat Shalom” was the universal Saturday greeting among all. In the late 19th and early 20th century the city declined as a result of conflict between Greek Orthodox and Moslems, and Jewish dominance of the city decreased.
Fall of the Ottoman Empire
With the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the decision at the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 to create an independent Greek state, the decision was made to transfer populations. All Moslems in Greece had to move to Turkey and all Orthodox Greeks in Turkey had to move to Greece. In all, about 350,000 Moslems and one million Greeks were involved in the move. Jews were permitted to remain wherever they lived.
At this time a group of Moslems went to the authorities supervising the population shift and explained that they were not really Moslems but were in fact really Jews posing as Moslems. The authorities would not entertain such a claim so the group then went to the Chief Rabbi, Saul Amarillo, to verify their Jewish status. Rabbi Amarillo states, “Yes, I know who you are. You are momzarim (very loosely translated as bastards) and as such not acceptable in the Jewish community.” These people were the Doenmeh, the Turkish word for converts, and their existence had been known for over 200 years. They were called momzarim because of the bizarre sexual practices that were part of their religious rituals, which made it impossible to trace parentage and lineage. The Doenmeh were forced to leave Salonika for Turkey, which, considering the tragic fate of Salonika’s Jews during the Holocaust 20 years later, undoubtedly saved their lives.
Who Were the Doenmeh? (Dönme)
One of the best known names but least known historical figures in Jewish history is Shabbtai Zvi, the “false messiah” (1626-1687). Born in Smyrna, Turkey, of a Sephardic father and an Ashkenazi mother, he was a brilliant child and Talmudic student, and an ordained rabbi in his mid teens. He went on to study and became a master in Kabbalah and other Jewish mysticism. His oratory was captivating and he soon acquired a following. However, he exhibited odd characteristics, including periods of illumination where he was believed to be communicating with God and periods of darkness when he was wrestling with evil. Soon he began to hint that he was the Messiah. This blasphemy caused him to be expelled from a number of congregations. He took up a pilgrim’s staff and with some followers roamed the Middle East, gathering many to his messianic preaching, especially during his periods of light. In Gaza he was welcomed by Rabbi Nathan, who had for years been preaching that the arrival of the Messiah was imminent. This combination led to a great outpouring of belief in Shabbtai Zvi as the Messiah. Word spread throughout the Jewish world, from Poland, Amsterdam, Germany, London, Persia, and Turkey to Yemen. Multitudes joined his ranks – educated rabbis, illiterates, rich and poor alike were swept up in the mass hysteria.
Among his inner core, they accepted his theory that all religious restrictions were reversed. The forbidden was encouraged and the commandments of the Torah were replaced by Shabbtai’s 18 (chai) commandments. This led to feasting on fast days, sexual relations with others than one’s spouse, and many more. The high point was in 1665-66, when Shabbtai, with his followers, marched on the Sultan’s palace expecting to be greeted as the Messiah. This of course did not happen. To shorten this story, Shabbtai was given the choice “convert to Islam or die.” To the consternation of his followers, he chose conversion. Most of his followers return to their homelands where, after penitence and sometimes flagellation, they were received into the congregations. However, some hundreds of families of his inner circle considered his apostasy as part of his overall plan of reaching the depth before attaining redemption. They too converted to Islam, although for about 200 years they lived as Moslems but secretly passed on their secret quasi-Jewish Shabbatean beliefs and practices to their children. They continued learning and praying in Hebrew and Ladino. As the generations passed, the knowledge of Hebrew was reduced to reciting certain prayers and expressions by memory in a barely understood Hebrew. They were known in Turkish as Doenmeh, meaning “converts”; to the Jews they were Minim, meaning “heretics.” They referred to themselves as Ma’aminim, the “believers.” They were never really accepted by the Turks nor by the Jews.
As we get into the middle and late 1800′s and education and enlightened thinking spread through parts of the region, young Doenmeh men who were dissatisfied with their status as “neither-nor” turned to secular nationalism to establish their identity. They neglected all forms of religious belonging and saw in the “Young Turk movement” their emancipation.
The Jewish Roots * * *
In 1911 in the Hotel Kamenetz in Jerusalem, Itamar Ben Avi, a newspaperman and writer who was the son of Eleazer Ben Yehudah (credited as the main proponent of the establishment of Modern Hebrew) met with a young Turkish Army officer. After enjoying a good quantity of Arak, the officer, Col. Mustafa Kemal, turned to his drinking partner and recited the “Shema” in fluent Hebrew and indicated that he came from a Doenmeh family. They met again on a few occasions and Kemal filled in more of his background. This man was of course to become General Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey.
Remnants of Doenmeh still exist. There is an unidentifiable building known as the Jewish Mosque where Doenmeh still meet. During World War II, when Turkey was close to Germany, there were separate tax lists for different religious categories, and the “D” list was for Doenmeh. During his lifetime and continuing today, there have been whispered rumors among Islamic activists that Kemal Ataturk and other Young Turks were of Jewish origin. Publicly, he denied this and his biographers avoided the issue.
However, there is little doubt that 300 years after the death of Shabbtai Zvi, his influence and twists and turns of his Doenmeh followers provided the activist secular basis which is one of the underlying principles of modern Turkey – without which the Turkish-Israeli connection would have been most unlikely.
To bring this story up to date and possibly complete the circle, we now learn that some Doenmeh living in Turkey have made inquiry of American Jewish religious organizations about the possible re-entry of Doenmeh into today’s Jewish world.

Re: Zones Reading Desk (Temporary Collection Thread)
Freemasons Dr. Walter M. Fleming, 33°, and William J. Florence, 32°, founded the Shriners in 1870. And in recounting the origins of their Order, Florence and Fleming corroborate the above statement by Richard Davey.
While in Marseilles, France, because he was known to be a Mason, Florence was invited to an exoteric ceremony at a Bokhara Shrine. Soon after, he visited Algiers, and there too was permitted to witness other proceedings in a Bokhara Temple.
Fleming elaborates:
It doesn’t get any more cut-and-dry than that. Moreover, Stevens wrote (p. 4) that, according to Fleming and Florence, “[t]he chief of these [Bektashi] dervishes at Mecca is declared to be the principle officer of the Arabic Mystic Shrine.”
Mr. Florence was entertained as a Mason at Marseilles, in Bokhara Temple of the Arabic Bektash. He at this time simply witnessed the opening session of the exoteric ceremonials which characterize the politico-religious order of Bektash of Oriental Europe. A monitorial, historic, and explanatory manuscript he also received there. It did not embrace the esoteric Inner Temple exemplification or obligation, nor the ” Unwritten Law,” which is never imparted to anyone except from mouth to ear. Shortly afterward Mr. Florence was similarly favored in Algiers and Aleppo. Through letters and commendations he finally secured the manuscript monitor, history and descriptive matter from which sprang the Order in this country. It was in Algiers and Aleppo that he was received into the Inner Temple under the domain of the Crescent and first became possessor of the esoteric work, the “Unwritten Law” and the Shayk’s obligation. Subsequently he visited Cairo, Egypt, and was admitted, and collected more of Oriental history and the manuscript of “Memorial Ceremonials.” But Mr. Florence was never fully recognized or possessed of authority until long after his return to America. All he possessed was a disconnected series of sheets in Arabic and French, with some marginal memoranda made by himself from verbal elucidation in Aleppo. Through Professor Albert L. Rawson these, with others received afterward through correspondence abroad, comprised the translations from which the Order started here. Mr. Florence and myself received authority to introduce the Order here.- Albert Clark Stevens, The Cyclopædia of Fraternities (New York, 1899), p. 2
In the Islamic world, the Bektashi are traditionally looked upon as heretics. Albert Doja says they began in the 13th or 14th Century, and their beliefs comprise a syncretism “of shamanism … Sufi doctrines … Buddhism, Manichaeism, Christianity and antique religions.” Other influences include Neo-Platonism, the Kabbalah, number symbolism, reincarnation and metempsychosis (e.g. dualistic gnosticism and/or pantheism).
The Bektashi were also in close contact with the Sabbatean Movement from the start. When the false messiah, Sabbatai Zevi would visit Constantinople, for instance, he became “accustomed to living in a dervish monastery,” Gershom Scholem writes, “[a]nd it can hardly be doubted that there were early secret ties between the order of the Bektashi and the Donmeh.”
It is known that among the Bektashi orders the doctrine of takiye (dissimulation) was widely practiced; it permitted the adherents of even radical mystical heresies in Islam to appear to the outside world as a wholly orthodox segment of the Sunni community in order to avoid persecution. It is also known that their enemies always claimed this duplicity of the Bektashi and accused them of it.
Often they also added even more far-reaching accusation that the Bektashi, or at least certain of their subgroups, secretly subscribed to a religious nihilism. Now it is just this theory and practice of takiye which, though here for purely internal Jewish reasons, determined the Donmeh’s way of life in which the external appearance stood in radical contradiction to what they taught and stood for. Their common status as a mystical heresy with often extreme aberrations was bound to create sympathy between these two groups. Perhaps it is also no accident that the cemetary of the most extreme group of the Donmeh, with the grave of its leader Baruchya Russo (in Islam: Osman Baba), was located in the immediate vicinity of the Bektashi monastery of Salonika.
According to Donmeh tradition, moreover, aside from several groups of Sabbatian families which still later joined them from Poland, a number of Turkish and Greek non-Jewish families also passed over and joined one of their subsects.- The Messianic Idea in Judaism (Schocken, 1995), pp. 150-1.

Among the modern promoters of the principles of the [Bektashi and/or the "Shriners"] Order in Europe, one of the most noted was Herr Adam Weishaupt, a Rosicrucian (Rose Cross Mystic) [which he certainly was not], and professor of law in the University of Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, who revived the Order in that city on May 1, 1776.
Its members exercised a profound influence before and during the French Revolution, when they were known as the Illuminati, and they professed to be teachers of philosophy.
From the central society at Ingolstadt, branches spread through all Europe. Among the members, there are recorded the names of Frederick the Great, Mirabeau, a Duke of Orleans, many members of royal families, literary, scientific and professional men, including the illustrious Goethe, Spinoza, Kant, Lord Bacon, and a long list besides, whose works enlarge and free the mind from the influence of dogma and prejudice.

Shrine of False Messiah in Turkey May Be Razed
Shrine of False Messiah in Turkey May Be Razed
By Jay Michaelson
Published May 18, 2007, issue of May 18, 2007.
Far away from the eyes of the Jewish mainstream, in modern-day Turkey there live hundreds, if not thousands, of crypto-Jews — and today, one of their most sacred shrines is in danger.
This is the hidden, fascinating tale of the doenmeh, descendants of the faithful followers of the 17th-century false messiah Sabbetai Tzvi, who converted to Islam in 1666. Tzvi’s own conversion came under duress: The Ottoman sultan demanded that he don the turban or die after nearly one-third of European Jewry had come to believe he was the messiah and had begun swarming into Turkey, expecting the long-awaited triumph of the Jews.
Tzvi chose to convert, and most of his followers lost hope — but not all of them. Many saw the conversion as a heroic act of tikkun, or repair, and followed their messiah’s lead by outwardly becoming Muslims while secretly maintaining their messianic Jewish faith. They were called doenmeh, meaning “turncoats”— a pejorative term not unlike marrano (“pig.”) Among themselves, they were called ma’aminim, “believers.” Sabbateanism did not die out in 1666, or even 10 years later when Tzvi himself died. There were subsequent messiahs — largely forgotten men like Baruchiah Russo and Jacob Frank — and, as recent scholarship has shown, Sabbateanism greatly influenced the 18th-century emergence of Hasidism. And then there are the doenmeh, who live on until the present day, in secretive communities, at first primarily in Salonika and today almost entirely in present-day Turkey.
A move to tear down the Turkish home where Tzvi is said to have lived, however, may now disturb the balance the community has cultivated for centuries.
Over the years, most of the doenmeh assimilated into Islam; many more were annihilated during the Holocaust, and still more have, in modern-day Turkey, come to see their background as a curious but largely irrelevant heritage. But even those who did assimilate usually maintained some knowledge of their ancestry, and doenmeh were among the founders of the secular Turkish republic. Today, many doenmeh are among Turkey’s elite, though it is taboo to speak their names; since doenmeh are regarded as traitors by both Muslims and Jews, it is scandalous to accuse a person of being one of them, even if his or her identity is an open, unspoken secret. (Recently-deceased Turkish foreign minister Ismail Cem, for example, was “outed” by several Turkish newspapers, but he denied being a Sabbatean, and Iglaz Zorlu’s best-selling 1999 memoir, “Yes, I am a Salonikan,” stirred controversy throughout the country.) But the secret is open, like the doenmeh cemeteries outside of Istanbul, with their distinctively unadorned gravestones, and the mosques where doenmeh are known to pray.
Barry Kapandji is one of the few doenmeh descendants willing to openly acknowledge his ancestry — and even he wouldn’t use his real name (“totally out of the question,” he said). Kapandji, 33, was told by his father that he was a doenmeh when he was nine years old. Since then, he has been fascinated by his heritage. Kapandji first contacted me a few months ago, when he learned that the house in Izmir (formerly Smyrna) in which Tzvi is believed to have lived was slated for demolition by the municipality to make way for a park. No one would help him: The doenmeh he knew were afraid of going public, and the Jewish community wanted nothing to do with this sect of heretics.
“This is a crime against culture, history and my heritage,” Kapandji told me. “The Jewish community elders do not want the house turned into a museum.… They would like Sabbetai’s name to be eradicated from history.”
The Forward was not able to obtain a comment from the Izmir Jewish community, but it is true that in traditional Jewish circles it is customary to add the epithet “Yemach shemo,” “May his name be blotted out,” to the names of Sabbetai Tzvi and other heretics. Usually, the epithet works: Few know their names today. Yet, Kapandji said, “Sabbetai Tzvi, for better or for worse, helped shape the history of the Jewish people, and we should acknowledge him for that.”
But is the house at 920 Agora Girisi, half-ruined and barely distinguishable from others in the old Jewish neighborhood (now mostly destroyed), really the birthplace of Sabbatai Tzvi, the “mystical messiah”?
Yes, according to Dr. Cengiz Sisman, an expert on Sabbateanism who received his doctorate from Harvard University. Sizman cited a wealth of evidence, including 1925 and 1940 newspaper reports of the house (the architecture of which is clearly described) being used as a “visiting site by believers,” a 1935 book by noted historian Abraham Galante, and a 1961 account by writer John Freely of a group of believers lighting candles and performing a ritual on the third floor of the building.
By the 1990s, however, few doenmeh were maintaining the old rituals, and the house, like the rest of the area, had fallen into disrepair. It appeared briefly in a French-language documentary on the doenmeh by filmmaker Michel Grosman, but only a few interested parties, like Sisman and Kapandji, were even aware that it had been slated for demolition. Last month, Kapandji interceded with the Izmir municipality and, on the basis of testimony by elders from the Sabbatean and Jewish communities, temporarily halted the destruction of the house — or at least what remains of it.
Today, Sisman said, “neither the Jewish nor the Sabbatean groups are particularly keen to utilize the house for any kind of Sabbatean or Jewish purpose.” For the Jews, it is the home of a heretic best forgotten; and the few doenmeh still aware of their ancestry fear being branded as traitors if they are exposed.
Surely, though, if this house is what Sisman and Kapandji believe it to be, it is an important relic of a key episode in Jewish history. Of course, as shown by Israel’s many Crusader tombs doubling as the supposed burial places of prophets and rabbis, the fact that a place is venerated by believers does not mean that it is what they believe it to be. Then again, there are reasons to think that this instance might be different. The doenmeh, after all, have lived in the same place, continuously, since the time of Tzvi himself, and have maintained a secret tradition of belief, liturgy, ritual, even recipes. Kabbalah scholar Avraham Elqayam recently published an article describing the mystical significance of a newly unearthed doenmeh cookbook, and Zeek, an online journal of which I am an editor, is publishing translations of Sabbatean hymns and first-person accounts of Tzvi at prayer, compiled by David Halperin, professor emeritus of religion at the University of North Carolina.
So perhaps it’s not as much of a stretch to suppose that a secret community, living continuously in one place, might preserve historical memory more accurately than, say, Jews returning to the Land of Israel after centuries away — or, for that matter, the mother of the Emperor Constantine, who is supposed to have identified most of the Christian holy sites in Israel while on a pilgrimage of her own. “I come from a family of academics,” Kapandji said. “We aren’t accustomed to claiming things without any evidence.”
Kapandji wants to see the house as some kind of museum, though he acknowledged that openly discussing Tzvi himself is still taboo in Turkish society. Sisman thinks the house should be preserved for Turkish reasons, as a testament to that country’s “multicultural heritage.”
Perhaps the house is of significance to Jews, as well. Sabbateanism was a dynamic, mystical and progressive movement — it was the first to put women in positions of leadership and to question the authority of normative Judaism — that was, according to many, an antecedent of Zionism. (Israeli presidents Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and Zalman Shazar were both scholars of the movement, and Theodor Herzl’s opponents labeled him a “new Sabbetai Tzvi.”) In an age in which many people are seeking alternative forms of Jewish expression, perhaps it is worth remembering those that did not survive.
Or rather, those that still, secretly, endure.

Judah Aaron Kaufman was born in Sheptowka, Russia on
November 15, 1974. He passed away in Tucson, Arizona on February 7, 1946 of a heart attack. At the time of his death, Judah was married to Rebecca Schwartz Kaufman, his second wife. His first wife and mother of his daughters was Rosa who was born (I believe in Russia) in 1878.
Judah was the father of two daughters, Tillie Fine and Sophie Cohen.
He had four grandchildren, Rosalie Cohen, Roswell Fine, Benjamin Cohen and the late Helen Cohen. He resided at his home on 1933 E. 10th Street in Tucson.
Judah was a member of Tucson Lodge No 4, the Scotish Rite and the Shriners. Judah and his family arrived in the United States in 1905 settling in New Jersey where he was a tinsmith. After the tragic death of his wife, Rosa on May 29, 1908 in Dover, New Jersey, Judah and his two young daughters left New Jersey in 1910 for Tucson. Rosa is buried in Mt. Sinai Cemetery, Dover, N.J. What motivated Judah to move west and enter the retailing business is unknown. When he and his second wife met and married is also unknown, but it was said he needed a wife to care for his two young daughters, yet the second wife was anything but caring and maternalistic to Tillie and Sophie.
At the height of his businesses, Judah owned several stores and properties in Tucson, but at the time of his death, his only had retained the original store located at 86 South Meyer Street. He had been active in Congregation Anshei Israel as he had served as president and at the time of his death was a vice president. Judah is buried at Evergreen Cemetery. According to the inscription on Judah's memorial stone in the cemetery, I read that he was the son of Joseph. At the time of his passing, Judah had resided in Tucson for 36 years.

A new book explores the rich history of Turkey’s Dönme, Sephardic Jews who converted to Islam in the 1600s
Adam Kirsch - Jan 12, 2010
[...] a small group of Sephardic Jews, many of them descended from conversos, did not think that Zevi’s apostasy invalidated his mission. On the contrary, they decided to follow him by converting to Islam themselves, while continuing to believe in their messiah and follow his commandments. This group, totaling about 300 families, became known in Turkish as Dönme, “converts,” though they referred to themselves in Hebrew as Ma’aminim, “believers.” By the 1680s, the Dönme had congregated in Salonika, the cosmopolitan and majority-Jewish city in Ottoman Greece. For the next 250 years, they would lead an independent communal life—intermarrying, doing business together, maintaining their own shrines, and handing down their secret traditions.
In The Dönme: Jewish Converts, Muslim Revolutionaries, and Secular Turks, Marc David Baer has produced the first scholarly study of this group. That it is a scholarly work, limited in its scope and sticking closely to written archives, is something that Baer insists on, and with good reason. For while the Spanish conversos are now seen as an interesting historical phenomenon, and it is even rather fashionable to claim converso ancestry, Turkey is still a part of the world where the anti-Semitic imagination runs wild.
And because the Dönme played an outsize role at key moments in modern Turkish history, the myth of their secret Jewish power has itself become powerful. As Baer writes in his introduction, there have recently been bestselling books in Turkey claiming that everyone from the current prime minister, the religious Muslim Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the revered founder of modern secular Turkey, are secretly Jewish. “Ghost Jews haunt the Turkish popular imagination,” as Baer puts it.
This makes it a delicate matter to write about the Dönme. In fact, Baer says, most of the descendants of Dönme whom he interviewed for the book asked him not to use their names. “Although many believe conspiracy theories about the Dönme,” Baer writes, “very few know the real character and history of the group.” His book, perhaps deliberately, will not raise the profile of the Dönme very much. Not only is it an academic book, published by Stanford University Press, but Baer says very little about the origin of the Dönme, or about their religious beliefs and practices—matters that many Jewish readers would be curious about.

Little Guy in the Eye of YHWH
Zionism Part 2
with 6 comments
The source for this study comes from the following website:
http://www.biblesearchers.com/
Hopefully, this will give a little more information on the Zionism subject in order to better support my conclusion on Zionism in part 1 click here .
Sabateans, Rothschilds & Zionism
The year was 1666, and the Turkish Kabbalist Jew, Shabbatai Tzevi announced to his Jewish followers that the day of the messiah had come. Actually that “day” was calculated in advance to be on a specific date, June 18, 1666. With a little insight we begin to see the strange relationships of this specific date to the arrival of the future anti-Messiah in the years just preceding the coming of the true Jewish Messiah. On this date, the pristine mystical truths of the World of the Divine as given and preserved by the Jewish sages began to be corrupted by the demonic forms of evil in Christian Kabalism or Cabalism and Islamic Qabbalism. The topic of Kabbalah will need to be discussed in more detail in a future study, Yah willing. In short, Kabbalah is one of the greatest tools used by the adversary to lead mankind into taking the mark of the beast.
This date would be denoted by the triple numerical insignia, “666” for the date of Shabbatai Tzevi’s messiahship was to be on June (6th month), 18 (6+6t+6) in the year of 1000 + 666. The Jews sold all of their homes and businesses, and were waiting in expectation on the hillsides for the entrance into a new messianic age.
Shabbatai Tzvi enthroned as the Messiah – Jewish publication, Tikkun, Amsterdam, 1666
These Sabbatean actors would arise from within the Jewish faith, yet they would soon abandon the commands of the Torah and reject the God of Israel as they spread their messianic faith around the globe. The quest of Shabbatai Tzevi was imbedded not only in medieval Judaism, but also in Islam, and within the heart of apostate Christianity. The very heart of mystical Judaism that came from the revelations of the true Jewish kabbalist’s “Tree of Life” as envisioned and revealed in print by the esteemed Jewish sage Rabbi Isaac Luria in the 16th century at Safed was now ripped from its authentic Torah foundation, corrupted and remolded into the heart of Roman Catholicism by Jewish Jesuits and imbedded within the heart of the Islamic faith by the secret Dolmeh Society, later known as “The Turks”.
Shabbati Tzevi, as he first started his Jewish movement also selected his own “false prophet”, called Nathan Levi of Gaza. It may be just an interesting fact, that out of the heartland of the people that would become the greatest antagonists and bitter enemies of the Jews, the Hamas chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the 21st century would give birth also to the prophet who would help the new messiah twist and contort the true kabbalist’s understanding of the World of the Divine. They would turn their theology into the most fulminate and virulent form of spiritual anti-Semitism, that was anti-Jewish, anti-Judaism, anti-Torah and anti-God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from its very core and foundation.

Re: Zones Reading Desk (Temporary Collection Thread)
Nathan Levi
According to Shabbatai Tzevi, the “messianic days of the redemption were upon us” and when this era arrived, “god” of the Sabbateans would permit everything. All the prohibitions by the God of Israel in the Torah would be rescinded in the new messianic era. In the Ten Commandments, it said, “Do not kill” but when the messiah comes, they were permitted to “Kill”. These same 10 commands also said, “Do not commit adultery” yet in when the messiah comes, it was said that “you may commit adultery”. These same commandments said, “Remember the Seventh Day (Seventh-day Sabbath Shabbat) to keep it holy”, yet when the messiah comes, any day you wish to worship could be your holy day. It was also the “Chief Blessing” of the followers of the false Jewish messiah, Shabbatai Tzevi, called Sabbateans, when they said, “Blessed is he who permits the forbidden”. This was their most profound blessing and it swept over half of the Jewish people in Europe within its clutches.
This may sound strange but there are many texts in rabbinic writings that speak of the Torah being abrogated when the Messiah comes. Here are some samples:
Vayyikra Rabba 9:7 reads:
R. Phinehas, R. Levi, and R. Yochanan said in the name of R.
Menachem; ‘In the time to come, all sacrifices will be
annulled, but that of thanksgiving will not be annulled’
This is indicated by what is written [Jer. 33;11].
Midrash Tehillim on Psalm 146:7 tells us, even the laws of “kashrut” will be abrogated:
The Lord will loose the bonds. What does the verse man by
the words ‘Loose the bonds’? Some say that of every animal
whose flesh it is forbidden to eat in this world, the Holy
One, blessed be He, will declare in the time to come that
eating of its flesh is permitted. [Eccles. 1:9 is quoted as
the proof text.]
The thought of Torah changing in the “Age to Come,” is again made perfectly clear in the rendering of Deut. 17:18, in Sifra. Here it is stated that the L*rd wrote a copy of the Mishna-Torah for Himself, and that He would not be content with the Mishna-Torah of the fathers. The question is asked:
Why does He say Mishna-Torah? Because it is destined to be
changed.
THE NEW TORAH
A second school of thought regarding the mutability of the Torah presents us with the concept of an entirely “New Torah” being revealed in the “Age to Come.” This thought is distinguishable from the previous understanding in that: [1] the first school of thought, although considering Torah to be mutable, confines these changes to the context of the Torah that was revealed to Moses at Sinai; [2] the second group states that the changes will go far beyond the mere “reinterpretation” of the Torah revealed at Sinai. They suggest that the very substance of Torah will be changed, and that in the “Age to Come,” the Law of Torah will be of a different fabric than that of the present age. Proponents of this position use the Targumic rendering of the text found in Isa. 12:3. The Masoretic text reads:
Behold God is my salvation, I will trust and will not be
afraid, for the Lord my God is my strength and my song. He
also has become my salvation….With joy you will draw water
out of the wells of salvation.
The Targum reads:
Behold, in the Memra of the Lord of my salvation do I trust,
and shall not be dismayed; because my strength and my glory
is the Terrible One, the Lord: He has spoken by His Memra
and become my salvation. And ye shall receive new
instruction with joy from the ‘Chosen of Righteousness.’
It is assumed that in the Age to Come, since we are in the presence of G*d, and the “Yetzer Hara” [the evil urge] has been defeated, there will be no sin. Therefore, in the “New Torah” that is expounded by G*d, it is no longer necessary for the people to be bound by the commandments in the Torah of this age. The reference is found in the tractate Niddah 61b, and in the contest speaks of a cloth that is woven of both linen and wool threads. This cloth is prohibited to be worn by the living, however, it is lawful to be used as a burial shroud. This, we are told, is because death bring a release from the Mitzvot of Torah. R. Joseph then states:
This implies that the commandments will be abolished in the
hereafter [Age to Come].

Re: Zones Reading Desk (Temporary Collection Thread)
The ancient Sages reject on the one hand the idea that the injunctions received from their fathers will cease to be valid, yet on the other hand they sometimes stress that the Messiah will give Israel a new Torah. RaMBaM states in the 8th and 9th of his 13 dogmas that the “Torah which we now have was given to Moses” and “This Torah will not be changed nor will the Creator — may he be blessed — institute any other Torah”. He nevertheless explains in his work “Ordinances of the Kings” that the King annointed as Messiah will “sit on his kingly throne and write for himself a Book of the Law in addition to the Law given to our Fathers” and “He will compel Israel to obey these commandments”. Not even the NT speaks of the abrogation of the Torah but rather of its “fulfilment”. Could this be the same as when the Pesikhta Rabbati says that “The Torah will revert to its original state”?64 Pesikhta Rabbati 89,6
According to the Rabbis the Messiah will be invested with such authority. Yalqut Isaiah states that, “The Holy One — may he be blessed — will sit (in the Garden of Eden) and draw up a new Torah for Israel, which will be given to them by the Messiah.”65 Even the fearful thought of “abrogation” appears in the traditions of the Wise: “In the future the commandments will be annulled.’66 In the Midrash Mekhilta from the time of the Tannaites — that is, from the first two Christian centuries — we find the statement that, “At the end the Torah will be forgotten.”67 R.Shimon Ben Eleazar, who was active from ca. 170–200 AD, declares that, “This is how it will be in the days of the Messiah; there will be no ‘thou shalt’ and ‘thou shalt not’ commandments (zechut ve-hovâh).”68 Klausner, in his book “The Messianic Idea in Israel”, explains that, “The natural interpretation of this is that in the days of the Messiah, the Torah and the Commandments will lose their significance”.69
65. Yalqut Isaiah 26, siman 296.
66. Nida 66b.
67. Mechilta, Masechet Piska, 2.
68. Shabbath 130a-b.
69. J. Klausner, Ha-ra’ayon ha-meshihi be-Israel, p289.
Changing to the Torah is spoken of as a false witness in the Holy Scriptures.
Act 6:13 And they stood up false witnesses, who were saying, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law;
Act 6:14 for we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the customs which Moses delivered over to us.
Shabbatai Tzevi fell right in line with every other picture of the antichrist/man of sin who desired to destroy the Torah. Cain, Pharaoh, Antiochus Epiphanes, Constantine, the Pope etc. In a future study, Yah willing, I will go into more depth on this.
Shabbatai Tzevi & Smyrna
Would it be profound enough also to learn that Shabbatai Tzevi was also born in Smyrna, Turkey. The key to this satanic inspired transformation from true Torah into an anti-Semitic virus against the Torah Revelation of God was exposed just before the end of the 1st century CE. Here we meet the Jewish Apostle John who gave the verdict by the God of Israel in the Revelation of Jesus the Messiah (Book of Revelation), when it made this exposé of the people of Smyrna.
Revelation 2:9-10 – “And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write, ‘These things says the First and the last, who was dead, and came to life: ‘I know your works, tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”
It was the esteemed Talmudist Rabbi Jacob Emden in the early 17th century that became the first to expose the dangers of the teachings of the Sabbateans in the European region of Poland. It was BibleSearchers in the year of 2006 that investigated this era in the series of articles titled, “Jesus the Pharisee from the School of (Beit) Hillel in the Eyes of Talmudic Scholar Rabbi Jacob Emden”. Rabbi Emden became the most passionate defender of covenanted orthodox Judaism against the infiltration of the Sabbateans and the destruction of what they were doing in the heart of Judaism in Europe. It was also during this great crisis of faith for the Jewish people with the messianic uprising of the false messiah Shabbatai Tzevi that Rabbi Jacob Emden went back to review all the fifty odd messiahs that had risen over the prior 16 centuries.
When he came to the life and ministry of Yahshua HaMaschiach (Jesus the Messiah) in the 1st century Judea, he found a Jewish Messiah that was profoundly different that all the rest. Here was a Jewish messiah that not only lived the life of Torah, but lived and taught that His disciples were to live the precepts of all the Torah above and beyond the “letter of the law”. In his charges against the heresy of Shabbatai Tzevi, Rabbi Emden wrote a letter defending the life, ministry and the Torah of Yahshua the Messiah in “The Letter of Rabbi Jacob Emden, the Seder Olam Rabbah Vezuta (1757) to the Jewish Council of Four Lands”. Here was the opinion of this sage of Judaism concerning Yahshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene):
Rabbi Jacob Emden – “Certainly, therefore, there is no doubt that one who seeks truth will agree with our thesis, that the Nazarene and his Apostles never meant to abolish the Torah of Moses from one who was born a Jew. Likewise did Paul write in his letter to the Corinthians (I Corinthians) that each should adhere to the faith in which each was called? They therefore acted in accordance with the Torah by forbidding circumcision to gentiles, according to the Halakha, as it is forbidden to one who does not accept the yoke of the commandments. They knew that it would be too difficult for the Gentiles to observe the Torah of Moses. They therefore forbade them to circumcise, and it would suffice that they observe the Seven Noahide Commandments, as commanded upon them through the Halakha from Moses at Sinai.**
**This is not the witness of the Holy Scriptures. The subject of the Noachide laws will be addressed in a future study, Yah willing, as it plays into the end time deception.
It is therefore a habitual saying of mine (not as a hypocritical flatterer, God forbid, for I am of the faithful believers of Israel, and I know well that the remnant of Israel will not speak falsehood, nor will their mouths contain a deceitful tongue) that the Nazarene brought about a double kindness in the world. On the one hand, he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically, as mentioned earlier, and not one of our Sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah.
And on the other hand, he did much good for the Gentiles (providing they do not turn about his intent as they please, as some foolish ones have done because they did not fully understand the intent of the authors of the Gospels.)”

Yet the virus of destruction continued to permeate through the Sabbatean Jews around the world. It would not be until just before the 200 Anniversary (1776-1976) of the Sabbatean Masonic birth of the United States of America that Rabbi Marvin Antelman, the Jewish Chief Justice of the Jewish Supreme Court of America became the first modern Jewish rabbi to exposed the modern agenda of the Jewish Sabbateans. In the year of 1974 he wrote a book called “To Eliminate the Opiate, Volume I” that you will find heading the list of every classic list of books on modern conspiracies. It was be followed by the sequel, “To Eliminate the Opiate, Volume II“, twenty four years later in the year of 1998 that exposed the vast influence of the Sabbateans within the modern Jewish Zionist State of Israel, and why their symbiotic relationships with the globalists was and is so profound to Jewish orthodoxy and covenanted Jews.
This was also the same Rabbi Marvin Antelman who as the Chief Justice of the Jewish Supreme Court in the United States, ex-communicated Henry Kissinger from Judaism in the 1974 Rabbinic Council for his ties with the Council on Foreign Relationship and as the United States Secretary of State sought to destroy Israel during the Yom Kippur War of 1976 and to this day, Rabbi Antelman continues to expose the criminal activities of these Jewish Sabbateans.
It was Rabbi Antelman, who has been the most profound voice exposing the satanic roots of the Jewish Sabbateans. With great deliberation, he exposed the insidious evil that the Sabbateans were committing to destroy the orthodox Jewish people all around the world. It was also Antelman’s most famous protégé, the Jewish investigative reporter and author, Barry Chamish who BibleSearchers has used in the past for his investigative studies on the corruption and evil within the Labor Zionists of Israel.
It was the Sabbateans who were the first to believe with all their hearts that the messianic era would be instituted when Jews would systematically begin breaking every law of the Torah and defy their judgments by the God of Israel. Their era of the messiah never came to their expectations in the 17th century.
In fact, Mehmed IV the Sultan of Turkey (1648-1687) in September 1666 had Shabbatai Tzevi arrested. For awhile he was allowed to have his own royal court in prison until he was given the ultimatum and a promise. If the rabbi would give up his Judaism and his Torah, renounce Judaism, and convert to Islam, the Sultan would relinquish his sentence of a “long, tortuous death”. To the amazement of the orthodox Jews, not only did he convert to Islam, but he twisted his interpretations of the Torah and took a large percentage of Judaism into Islam with him. Yet, a problem existed, soon may of the followers became crushed or disillusioned with Sabbatean theology and returned back to Orthodox Judaism.
Jacob Frank, the Islamic Dolmeh Emissary to Europe
Even so, a larger group of Jews did convert to Islam and became a cult in Turkey called the Dolmeh Cult, for it was they, who proclaimed, “We infiltrate Islam and other religions, but keep our Sabbatean beliefs with us at all times.” And to this day, the Dolmeh continue to infiltrate into other religions and cults to our modern era.

With the inward desire that power, greed, and control rules, Yacov (Jacob) Frank who first went to the elite of the European countries and became a darling in the courts of the royalty. As was written by BibleSearchers Reflections in the subarticle titled, “Jacob Frank and the Jewish Alliance with the Illuminati and the Rothschilds” we read:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “The time of the end did not come and the millennial kingdom did not arrive. The works and studies of Shabbatai Zevi went underground. Fifty years later, Yakov ben Judah Leib Frankovich (1726-1791) was born to a Jewish rabbi in Podolia in old Poland in the region of modern Ukraine. From Poland he traveled to the Middle East as a cloth merchant. There in Turkey he was initiated into the secret Shabbatean rites of Donmeh Shabbataism.
When he returned to the Ashkenazi Polish Jews they thought he was a Turkish Sephardi Jew and called him frenk, which in Yiddish means a Sephardi Jew.
He soon assumed a new family name, ‘Frank’. At the age of twenty nine (1755) Jacob Frank returned to Poland; he had been fully indoctrinated into the mystical anti-Torah, anti-Talmudic teachings of mystical Shabbataism. He transmitted his teachings to central Europe. He posed as an orthodox Sephardi Jew from whence came his name, Frank, which in Jewish Ashkenazi Yiddish means a Sephardi. There he founded the heretical Jewish sect called Frankists.
Now accepted by the Sephardi Jews in Poland, Jacob Frank convinced the Roman Catholic bishop of his province in Poland that his Sabbatean group was against the Jewish and were not Jews, but were allies with the Roman Catholic Church in suppressing the Jews

Within his Catholic diocese, the bishop offered Jacob Frank and his followers protection from the Jews. In verification and support of the Roman Catholic Jewish suppression by the Roman Catholics, there suddenly erupted numerous book burnings until all the Jewish Talmuds were destroyed in this Polish diocese.
This act was impressive to his Catholic benefactors for the Catholic hierarchy now felt that they had legitimate allies with the former Jewish Frankists. With the verification of their evil deeds, the Frankists were able to establish a power base in Poland from which to spread their seeds of destruction. What was even more important, they were now financed by the Roman Catholic Church. What the bishop did not know was that his allies that had now become official Roman Catholics were still living dual lives and in their duplicity, within this province of Poland, sexual orgies became the “purification of the soul” and secretly during the Purim festivals, this day became an annual wife-swapping event for hidden Frankists. They not only debased their new Catholic religion but they also debased their own spiritual heritage in Judaism.

BibleSearchers Reflections – “Jacob Frank soon began to have direct revelations from heaven and admonished his followers to convert to Christianity. They began to practice an underground religion that was anti-Torah and like Shabbatai Zevi and Nathan of Gaza engaged in sexual activities forbidden by Torah. The halakhah of Torah was abandoned for a higher wisdom or knowledge. From the midst of Luria’s Kabbalah which was based on the Mosaic Torah, the Frankists claimed a new wisdom, the ‘Torah of emanations’ or the Christian Cabbala which was anti-Torah.

“I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, …
The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire.
And I control the money supply.”
- Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild (1777-1836)
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that
you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country.
When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank.
You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter,
I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin!
Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!
You are a den of vipers and thieves.”
- Attributed to President Andrew Jackson, who in 1836 forced the closing of the
Second Bank of the U.S. by revoking its charter.
“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace
And conspire against it in times of adversity.
It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy,
And more selfish than bureaucracy.
It denounces as public enemies, all who question it’s methods or
Throw light upon it’s crimes.
I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear.
Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe…
Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow,
And the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong it’s reign
By working upon the prejudices of the people
Until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed.
- President Abraham Lincoln

Adam Weishaupt
By the year of 1786, the German city of Frankfurt was the official headquarters of Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Bavarian Order of the Illuminate. Trained as a Roman Catholic Jesuit, Adam Weishaupt became a protégé of Ignacio López de Loyola (1491-1556) the founder of the Society of Jesus who are known today as the Jesuits. Loyola later became the first Superior General, a powerful political and spiritual force that is today known as the Black (Hidden) Pope who controls the most powerful intelligence organization in the world.
In the year of 1491, San Ignacio de Loyola was born in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa, Spain to a wealthy family of Jewish Marranos. His first entry, as a young man, was into a Jewish Illuminati Order in Spain while serving actively in the Roman Catholic Church. Wounded permanently in battle, Loyola’s life turned to one of personal holiness. He went to Paris and there became a priest and in 1539, he moved to Rome where the “Jesuit Order” was given birth.
Joseph Johann Adam Weishaupt, on the other hand was born on February 6, 1748 in the city of Ingolstadt in the German state of Bavaria. His father was a professor in the University of Ingolstadt. It was in the year of 1773 that two important events happened. The young “Adam” now educated as a Jesuit but was raised as a secret Sabbatean Jew, broke his allegiance with the Jesuit society amazing in the same year which Pope Clemens XVI dissolved the Jesuit order. Did he have inside information, we do not know. Within three years, in the year of 1776, a few months before the American Revolution and the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Bavarian Order of the Illuminate was formed. What little is known was that Adam Weishaupt came from a Jewish family that had converted to Roman Catholicism during the same era after the messianic revival of Shabbatai Tzevi in 1666.

Re: Zones Reading Desk (Temporary Collection Thread)
So admirably did this ruse succeed that we find Spartacus (Adam Weishaupt) writing triumphantly:
You cannot imagine what consideration and sensation our Priest's
degree is arousing. The most wonderful thing is that great
Protestant and reformed theologians who belong to (*) [Illuminism]
still believe that the religious teaching imparted in it contains
the true and genuine spirit of the Christian religion. Oh! men, of
what cannot you be persuaded? I never thought that I should become the founder of a new religion.[556]
Weishaupt thus contrives to give a purely political interpretation to
Christ's teaching:
The secret preserved through the Disciplinam Arcani, and the aim
appearing through all His words and deeds, is to give back to men
their original liberty and equality.... Now one can understand how
far Jesus was the Redeemer and Saviour of the world.[544]
The mission of Christ was therefore by means of Reason to make men
capable of freedom[545]: "When at last reason becomes the religion of
man, so will the problem be solved."[546]
Weishaupt goes on to show that Freemasonry can be interpreted in the
same manner. The secret doctrine concealed in the teaching of Christ was
handed down by initiates who "hid themselves and their doctrine under
the cover of Freemasonry,"[547] and in a long explanation of Masonic
hieroglyphics he indicates the analogies between the Hiramic legend and
the story of Christ. "I say then Hiram is Christ," and after giving one
of his reasons for this assertion, adds: "Here then is much ground
gained, although I myself cannot help laughing at this explanation
[_obwohl ich selbst uber diese Explication im Grund lachen muss_]."[548]
Weishaupt then proceeds to give further interpretations of his own
devising to the masonic ritual, including an imaginary translation of
certain words supposed to be derived from Hebrew, and ends up by saying:
"One will be able to show several more resemblances between Hiram and
the life and death of Christ, or drag them in by the hair."[549] So much
for Weishaupt's respect for the Grand Legend of Freemasonry!
In this manner Weishaupt demonstrates that "Freemasonry is hidden
Christianity, at least my explanations of the hieroglyphics fit this
perfectly; and in the way in which I explain Christianity no one need be
ashamed to be a Christian, for I leave the name and substitute for it
Reason."[550]
But this is of course only the secret of what Weishaupt calls "real
Freemasonry"[551] in contradistinction to the official kind, which he
regards as totally unenlightened: "Had not the noble and elect remained
in the background ... new depravity would have broken out in the human
race, and through Regents, Priests, and Freemasons Reason would have
been banished from the earth."[552]
In Weishaupt's masonic system, therefore, the designs of the Order with
regard to religion are not confided to the mere Freemasons, but only to
the Illuminati. Under the heading of "Higher Mysteries" Weishaupt
writes:
The man who is good for nothing better remains a Scottish Knight.
If he is, however, a particularly industrious co-ordinator
[_Sammler_], observer, worker, he becomes a Priest.... If there are
amongst these [Priests] high speculative intellects, they become
Magi. These collect and put in order the higher philosophical
system and work at the People's Religion, which the Order will
next give to the world. Should these high geniuses also be fit to
rule the world, they become Regents. This is the last degree.[553]
Philo (the Baron von Knigge) also throws an interesting light on the
religious designs of the Illuminati. In a letter to Cato he explains the
necessity of devising a system that will satisfy fanatics and
freethinkers alike: "So as to work on both these classes of men and
unite them, we must find an explanation to the Christian religion ...
make this the secret of Freemasonry and turn it to our purpose."[554]
Philo continues:
We say then: Jesus wished to introduce no new religion, but only to
restore natural religion and reason to their old rights. Thereby he
wished to unite men in a great universal association, and through
the spread of a wiser morality, enlightenment, and the combating of
all prejudices to make them capable of governing themselves; so the
secret meaning of his teaching was to lead men without revolution
to universal liberty and equality. There are many passages in the
Bible which can be made use of and explained, and so all
quarrelling between the sects ceases if one can find a reasonable
meaning in the teaching of Jesus--be it true or not. As, however,
this simple religion was afterwards distorted, so were these
teachings imparted to us through Disciplinam Arcani and finally
through Freemasonry, and all masonic hieroglyphics can be explained
with this object. Spartacus has collected very good data for this
and I have myself added to them, ... and so I have got both degrees ready....

ADL local leader fired on Armenian issue
Genocide question sparked bitter debate
Andrew H. Tarsy's firing sparked a backlash. |
By Keith O'Brien, Globe Staff | August 18, 2007
The national Anti-Defamation League fired its New England regional director yesterday, one day after he broke ranks with national ADL leadership and said the human rights organization should acknowledge the Armenian genocide that began in 1915.
The firing of Andrew H. Tarsy, who had served as regional director for about two years and as civil rights counsel for about five years before that, prompted an immediate backlash among prominent local Jewish leaders against the ADL's national leadership and its national director, Abraham H. Foxman.
"My reaction is that this was a vindictive, intolerant, and destructive act, ironically by an organization and leader whose mission -- fundamental mission -- is to promote tolerance," Newton businessman Steve Grossman, a former ADL regional board member, said yesterday.
"I predict that Foxman's actions will precipitate wholesale resignations from the regional board, a meaningful reduction in ADL's regional fund-raising, and will further exacerbate the ADL's relationship with the non-Jewish community coming out of this crisis around the Armenian genocide."
Tarsy, 38, said he had been struggling with the national position for weeks and finally told Foxman in a phone conversation Thursday that he found the ADL's stance "morally indefensible."
The regional board's executive committee backed Tarsy and, according to a source fa miliar with the discussion, even went a step further, resolving to support legislation now pending before Congress to acknowledge the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians during the World War I era as genocide.
The national office's three-page response -- which it provided yesterday to the Globe -- did not mention the local office's intent to support the legislation. But it made clear just how far apart the two sides were on an issue with local, national, and international implications.
The letter, signed by Foxman and Glen S. Lewy, the ADL's national chairman, said "we have acknowledged the massacres of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire and called on Turkey to do more to confront its past and reconcile with Armenia. We will continue to press Turkey, publicly and privately . . ." But the letter also makes clear that the national ADL feels the safety of Israel, which considers Turkey a rare Muslim ally, is paramount.
The national ADL leaders also said employees who do not agree with the ADL's position should not differ pubicly, but should resign. "No organization can or should tolerate such an act of open defiance," the letter said.
Asked how they would resolve the difference of opinion, both local and national leaders said they did not know.
"They've taken a position," Foxman said in an interview. "We've taken a position. I hope they will read our position and hopefully we'll have conversations."
Tarsy's firing -- and the national office's rebuke of the local office's independence -- marked the latest twist in a debate that began weeks ago in Watertown, home to more than 8,000 Armenian-Americans. Residents there became angry when they learned that the ADL was the sponsor of the town's anti-bigotry program "No Place For Hate" and, on Tuesday this week, the Watertown Town Council voted unanimously to pull out of the program.
At issue was not the program itself, but rather a tangle of international politics dating back more than 90 years. From 1915 to 1923, Ottoman Turks massacred as many as 1.5 million Armenians in what is now modern-day Turkey. Armenians, historians, and some European nations have recognized the killings as genocide. But the Turkish government has refused to accept the genocide label and the national ADL refuses to use it as well.
In a 438-word open letter slated to appear in advertisements inside local newspapers beginning next week, the ADL does not use the word genocide. Officially, Foxman reiterated yesterday, the ADL has no position on the genocide issue. But it does not support the legislation in Congress. In the open letter yesterday, the ADL called it "counterproductive" and the organization, founded in 1913 to fight anti-Semitism, worried what effect passing the legislation would have on Jews living in Turkey.
Critics say this position is hypocritical. Foxman "should understand that the truth of any genocide is not conditional upon political relationships," said Aram Hamparian, executive director of the Armenian National Committee of America in Washington, D.C. Rather, he said, it should be dictated by "truth" and "history."
As recently as Tuesday night, however, Tarsy defended the ADL's position before a hostile crowd at the Watertown Town Council meeting. In explaining why he did it, Tarsy said yesterday that he was doing the best he could to explain the ADL policy while struggling at the same time to change the policy internally. Neither side would back down and he was fired.
"I have been in conflict over this issue for several weeks," Tarsy said. "I regret at this point any characterization of the genocide that I made publicly other than to call it a genocide. I think that kind of candor about history is absolutely fundamental."
Both the Jewish and Armenian-American communities rushed to Tarsy's defense yesterday in the wake of his firing and applauded him for taking the stand that ultimately cost him his job.
"I'm devastated to hear the news," said Ronne Friedman, senior rabbi at Temple Israel, the largest synagogue in Boston. "I think he's really a quality professional and a wonderful person of conscience. I think it's an inexcusable behavior on the part of the national office."
Grossman said Tarsy provided "moral leadership" and surely would have invigorated a new generation of ADL members in New England if he had been given the chance. Hamparian said it spoke poorly of the ADL's national leadership that Tarsy "was not rewarded, but fired for speaking the truth." And James Rudolph, the ADL's regional board chairman and partner at a Boston law firm, said he would miss working with Tarsy.
"I'm disappointed," Rudolph said. "He was an extraordinary leader and I'm sure that a lot of people affiliated with the board and affiliated with the ADL share my disappointment."
Rudolph, like Foxman, said he is hoping to have further conversations with the national office in the days ahead regarding the differences between them.
But they will be doing it without Tarsy, who said that he has no idea what he will do next.
"I have the greatest respect for the ADL and for its staff and leadership," Tarsy said, referring to the people he has worked with in the regional office over the years. "And I want very badly to see the ADL do what's right on this issue."
