The recent arrest and indictment of several—19 according to one source—members of Orthodox Jewish communities in New York and New Jersey on racketeering, money-laundering and organ-smuggling charges reminds us that this is not the first time Orthodox Jews have allegedly engaged in financial and other crimes.
In 2007, the Grand Rabbi of the Spinka sect of Orthodox Judaism, also located in New York, was indicted on tax fraud and money laundering, along with "several other defendants and five Spinka charities," according to the Los Angeles Times. In March 2009, one of the co-conspirators in that case, Rabbi Moshe Zigelman, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for these crimes. Unfortunately, the list goes on, with rampant sexual abuse charges as well within these tight-knit communities.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York
The resentment within the Orthodox Jewish community itself concerning such activities is clear from the resultant commentary by one of their own in an "Open Letter to the Money-Grubbing Jews" by Ben Sales, published in the National Jewish Student Magazine:
"Because you make me look bad, me and everyone else who wears a kippah, a long skirt and long sleeves, a black hat, a t-shirt with Hebrew writing on it, a necklace with a silver chai. Every kid who goes to Jewish school and Jewish camp, every college student who attends Hillel, every Zionist and post-Zionist, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Reform, Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Hasidic, secular must now bear the brunt of those who read of your exploits and think: there’s another Shylock, another Madoff, another Jew for whom the bottom line is more important than his own community."
Sales adds, "This concept, as I would think you know, is called a chillul hashem, a desecration of God’s name."
The "Good Book?"
A Scroll of the Torah/Pentateuch
This seemingly pervasive problem of "desecrating God's name" may lie not necessarily in the apparent corruptability of so many individual rabbis and other members of the Orthodox Jewish community but within the very scriptures themselves that create such religions, sects and cults. In this regard, it is clear from biblical traditions and dictates that "chosen people" are to be rewarded by God for their piety by being given the booty of "the nations," i.e., non-Jewish lands. Consider the following scriptures from the Old Testament part of the Bible, called in Judaism the "Tanakh"—which, as in Christianity, is considered by Orthodox Jews to be "God's Word":
For you are a people holy to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, out of all the peoples that are on the face of the earth." (Deuteronomy 7:6)
When you draw near to a city to fight against it, offer terms of peace to it. And if its answer to you is peace and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you. But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it; and when the LORD your God gives it into your hand you shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the cattle, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourseves; and you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the LORD your God has given you. Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here. But in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save nothing that breathes..." (Deuteronomy 20:10-16)
He [the Jew] should not press his fellow [Jew] for payment ...the foreigner [Gentile] you may press for payment." (Deuteronomy 15: 2-3)
You must not make your brother pay interest, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything on which one may claim interest. You may make a foreigner [Gentile] pay interest but your brother [fellow Jew] you must not make pay interest." (Deuteronomy 23: 19-20)
Foreigners (Gentiles) shall rebuild your walls, and their kings shall minister to you ...Your gates shall be open continuously; day and night they shall not be shut; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not not serve you; shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste...." (Isaiah 60:10-12)
You shall suck the milk of nations, you shall suck the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." (Isaiah 60:16)
And strangers [Gentiles] shall stand and feed your flocks, strangers shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; but you shall be called the priests of the LORD, men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you shall glory." (Isaiah 61:5-6)
Lest we underestimate the scope and influence of such Jewish writings within their own community, let us consider the experience by a dear friend of mine, now deceased, who was born and raised within the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in New York. Her father was a rabbi who had survived Auschwitz. Yet, she—a very lovely, intelligent, kind and generous individual—felt the need to escape from the oppression of her community, which made her shave her head, marry a man she did not love and suffer assorted other indignities and deprivations, including being barred from studying the Jewish text called the Talmud because she was a female. My friend was very aware of this exclusion because she knew how important that book was to her community, as she used to hide behind the door listening to her father teach it to the younger men.

Babylonian Talmud
The Talmud—which is not "Holy Writ" in itself but which frequently cites the Tanakh/Old Testament—is one of the most important texts within Orthodox Judaism. Not only did this exhaustive legal text take centuries to compile but it is pored over endlessly by Orthodox Jewish rabbis. Along with the Tanakh, the Talmud is repeatedly consulted for the very minutest details of orthodox Jewish life. As Jewish apologist Herman Wouk says in This is My God (181):
The Talmud is not only an encyclopedia of law but a work of folk art, a hymn to the Lord rising out of many generations of men who spent their lives in the quest for him. This quest for God, the confident search for the holy in every busy detail of life, is its grand single theme. The Talmud recaptures a long golden age of intelligence and insight, and it is to this day the circulating heart's blood of the Jewish religion. Whatever laws, customs, or ceremonies we observe—whether we are orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or merely spasmodic sentimentalists—we follow the Talmud. It is our common law."
Following are some quotes from the Soncino edition of the Talmud:
...R. Hanina also said: He who smites an Israelite on the jaw, is as though he had thus assaulted the Divine Presence; for it is written, one who smiteth man [i.e. an Israelite] attacketh the Holy One. (Sanhedrin 58b)
It was taught: R. Judah used to say, A man is bound to say the following three blessings daily: "[Blessed art thou...] who hast not made me a heathen, [non-Jew]" ".... who hast not made me a woman"; and "... who hast not made me a brutish man."... (Menachoth 43b-44a)
And he who desires that none of his vows made during the year shall be valid, let him stand at the beginning of the year and declare, ‘Every vow which I may make in the future shall be null.1 [HIS VOWS ARE THEN INVALID,] PROVIDING THAT HE REMEMBERS THIS AT THE TIME OF THE VOW. (Nedarim 23b)
These are but a few of the passages in the Talmud that reflect an "anti-goyim" or accountability-shirking attitude. Indeed, within both the Talmud and Tanakh appears a disturbing amount of material that foments xenophobia—the "stranger-fear" so evident from the clannishness of these communities—and apparently fosters corruption in the form of "sucking the milk" and "eating the wealth of the nations." This attitude can also be found in various quotes from Jewish leaders over the centuries, revealing that this mentality definitely does exist.
The question is why? Is it all blameable as a reaction to perceived "anti-Semitism?" Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Certainly, the Old Testament record of Israelites rampaging through the "Holy Land" and slaughtering non-Jews to steal their booty and virgin girls occurred long before "anti-Semitism" was ever conceived.
If people are programmed from birth with these various "religious" texts—some of which are said to be the very "Word of God"—is it any wonder they will behave in this manner? Defenders of such writings claim that these prejudicial parts are "taken out of context" and constitute only a small portion of the massive texts. Regarding this "out of context" quote mining, Wouk (181) also states:
In a word, one can say almost anything about this tape recording of the talk of wise men through seven centuries, and then find a passage to support it. The enemies of Judaism in all ages have snipped out the harshest, strangest patches they could find, run them together, and offered the result to the world as the true face of the Jews' mystery book. The same technique could make a preposterous dummy of the New Testament or of the Old, of the works of Plato, Shakespeare, or Dickens, or the utterances of our American presidents."
These contentions are somewhat true, in that some of the passages used by Talmud-bashers are certainly taken out of context and paraphrased poorly, and that there is much more to the Talmud. But in light of the "holier-than-thou" attitude frequently developed by the most pious, can we really just ignore the effects that these "relatively few" bigoted writings have upon the human mind, particularly when searching for a source for the corruption of so many leaders of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and when factoring in the numerous scriptures from the Old Testament/Tanakh cited above that clearly dictate megalomania and hegemony?
Instead of conditioning children with anachronistic, ethnocentric and prejudicial "scriptures" from ancient times, let us portray and recreate humanity in a more evolved manner. The solution is not to pit culture against culture, with shrill cries using "hate speech," but to provide less hate speech in the first place in our "holy texts," which need either to be rewritten or to be scrapped entirely in favor of more enlightened creations.

A very well written and supported article. Thank you for your thoughts on this current event.
You can't blame a religion if there are bad people in it. You blame the individual alone.
Judaism is about taking responsibility for your actions and trying to heal the world now.
To "reasonable objection," did you even read the article? She makes the care pretty well, I think.
So you're saying that religion doesn't affect behavior? What's the point in having one, then? Or is it only the GOOD stuff that religious ideology is responsible for, and none of the bad? How convenient.
There are Jews and Jews, world's apart for sure. The 'best' and, the worst I've ever
encountered. Remember 'Crazy Mary'? She would undress on the Venice boardwalk and
masturbate for everyone and every thing else you could imagine. At first, I said to a
friend in the beginning of seeing her 'no one is this outrageous but a jew' - I yelled to her
are you 'Jewish' - she threw at me a 1/2 empty can of beer from 25 feet away and said 'Yeah,
what's it to ya'! Amazing, incredible woman (?)
That is why the Karaite form of Judaism is better suited to the human condition. It rejects the commentary of the Rabbi's like the Mishna and the Talmud for specific belief in the Tanak alone.
That's kind of odd! I spent well past my bedtime for work researching the Karaite Jews. So to Karaite Jew, wether they rejected the 'Oral' law etc., it is the Tanakh that is the planted seed...as Ms. Murdock has pointed out. It is not suited for any human condition, except Judahites (ie. Jews).
One among many of your great articles exposing religon and cults. This one and other of your other materials should dispel the notion so many have accused you of....that is being a Judaist apologist, by your concentrations on Muslim and Christians. They haven't read your material to know that it is ALL of the same kettle of rotting fish.
It's good that the conversation has changed in recent years, that discussing criminal acts by jews is no longer falsely labelled as "anti-semitism" against all jews. Financial fraud is not unique; there are scores of instances where christians used religion to rationalize and commit crimes.
But the author did not mention another key issue: the illegal organ trade. Rarely donating organs, jews believe it is "nivul hamet", or "desecration of a dead body". Israel has a severe shortage of transplant organs. The wealthy in many countries take advantage of this barbaric trade, and Israelis are among the worst nations, along with the US and Europe.
In google, search w/quotes for: "transplant tourism"

Chinese prisoners and people in third world countries are as viewed nothing more than meat. It's reminiscent of the 2005 movie, "The Island", a mass murder of the poor for the benefit of the rich.
Good article.
How Yeshu’a Become Jesus
By:JOSEPH STALLINGS
Published in Catholic Digest January 1992 vol.32,no.6 page 17
The Mystery of the Magi
We usually don?t think about it, but our Lord?s name was not always Jesus. It was in fact originally the popular Aramaic name Yeshu?a.
In first century Judea and Galilee, the name Yeshu?a was very common and shared fifth place with Eleazar (Lazarus) in popularity as a name for Jewish men. The most popular male names at that time were Shime?on (Simon), Yosef (Joseph), Yehuda (Judah or Judas) and Yochanan (John).
In the Holy Land at the time of Christ, Aramaic had replaced Hebrew in everyday conversation, but Hebrew remained the holy language and was used in worship and daily prayers. The rabbis also used Hebrew when instructing their disciples. The two languages were closely related, however, as close as Italian is to Spanish, and both used the same alphabet. Yeshu?a was the Aramaic version of the Hebrew name Yehoshu?a (Joshua), and means “Yahweh

Galatians 3: 26-29. Very important part about the seed of Abraham. "it's those that do the will of the Father" that are the seeds. Not new to many...
Don't let the laws become the religion.
Corruption by politicians in Washington, D.C. goes unstopped, unpunished, and largely ignored. Every once in a while they charge 'one of their own' with corruption, largely to manipulate the masses into thinking they are doing their job. That is a bunch of baloney. For Pete's sake, the powers the be cannot even find the guts to demand the newly elected 'President' produce a document any average citizen would have to submit to receive a drivers license. Why are they attacking the Jewish community with claims of corruption? Do the math. The old 'smoke and mirror' parlor trick; look over here while we do over here.
"That is why the Karaite form of Judaism is better suited to the human condition...blah, blah, blah:
Who are YOU kidding? The "human condition" according to the jews and the Talmud- becuase if jews have not read it, it least they go to "Temple" & accept it fro the "Rabbi." According to Talmud, non-jews are "beasts" - "animals" "humans" whose conditions are to be in slavery to jews."
"Judaism is about taking responsibility for your actions and trying to heal the world now."
What a lie! "Judaism is to heal the world? "Like the Palestinians are healed intul their graves, eh?
Why then do jews not speak out and take responsibility for STOPPING the Palestinian Genocide?
But phrases like the above are LIES, said to pacity non-jews until the day, we're brutaliy enslaved to them.
I'm not a racist, but I am a culturist and so are you. It's why I choose to live in SE Portland and not Beaverton, in Oregon and not California, in America and not the middle east. Boarders are a product of war but they are also an organic expression culture. Zionism is committing violence against American culture by violating our boarders, Judaism is a racist endeavor and you are the Jews Goyim. Israel is a racist nation so why are American politicians supporting it? The Germans acted in self-defense as have many other cultures that were infected by Zionists. It's time for Americans to wake up and see the Jewish religion and Zionism for what they are; an invading force.
Reasonable objection, you obviously haven't read the talmud. It is not about "taking responsibility for your actions" or "trying to heal the world now." That is laughable. Read the talmud it is available online. If you are not a jew prepare to be shocked. It is a fetid, hate-filled, racist/supremacist diatribe that teaches jews to murder, steal, cheat, lie as long as its against the non jews, also called goyim/beasts/cattle/subhumans.
I don't have the exact quote but the talmud tells jews any crime, including murder, is permitted to do to a non jew--if you can get away with it. If you can't then don't do it. What kind of ethical or religious teaching is that! And this kind of bullcrud it took them centuries to write?
Ms. Murdock back pedals here as follows: (after a pretty good analysis that cites terribly offending Deuteronomy passages).
“Instead of conditioning children with ... "scriptures" from ancient times, let us portray... in an more evolved manner. The solution is not to pit culture against culture, with shrill cries using "hate speech," but to provide less hate speech... in our "holy texts," ...”
In my view these passages should be left in as examples of what has been of evil influence on the Jews for millennia. And relative to “hate speech”, these are fast becoming more acceptable code words for “anti-semitism” which has become so shop-worn as to be meaningless. But relative to “hate speech”, we Christians have a right to hate the Talmud and the “Torah SheBeal Peh” and a right to loudly say so for the bof reasons; but, being Christians, forgive the Jews who practice it and revile us as unclean “goys” and not hate them.
I won't get into the rest. But first most obvious example of the biased un-educated "examination" of this article is the phrase And he who desires that none of his vows made during the year shall be valid, let him stand at the beginning of the year and declare, ‘Every vow which I may make in the future shall be null.1 [HIS VOWS ARE THEN INVALID,] PROVIDING THAT HE REMEMBERS THIS AT THE TIME OF THE VOW. (Nedarim 23b)
This is because Jews were forced to convert to Christianity under pain of death or other kinds of pressures.
I can't believe this is even on this website. It is so "Elders of Zion"
Some of these quote are spread specifically by anti-semitic groups, in an intentional out-of-context manner, to disinform those less knowledgable about actual Jewish thought and religion. Why are you quoting these "sources" if you are in fact freethinking?
Can you blame the religion if the religion is bad? You read the quotes above. And there's a lot more. Consult Hoffman's Judaism Discovered.
As for Judaism trying to heal the world: how does it square with prominent Rabbis calling for the extermination of ALL Muslims? Are there any Rabbi's vociferously going against this statement?
Why should we "ignore the effects that these relatively few bigoted writings have upon the human mind"? Are these writings valid or aren't they? Just parts of them? Which parts? Are any religeous teachings valid? As Rene says, "It is ALL of the same kettle of rotting fish" Good one.
The thesis of this article has no validity unless it could be shown that the incidence of crime among Jews is higher than the incidence of crime among gentiles.
I would also add that in this case of the illegal organ sale, the buyer, donor and "matchmaker" were all Jewish, so it cannot be attributed to any Talmudic dictum regarding the treatment of non Jews by Jews.
Choschen Hamm 388, 15
Happy will be the lost of Israel, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, has chosen from amongst the Goyim, of whom the Scriptures say: "Their work is but vanity, it is an illusion at which we must laugh; they will all perish when God visits them in His wrath." At the moment when the Holy One, blessed be He, will exterminate all the Goyim of the world, Israel alone will subsist, even as it is written: "The Lord alone will appear great on that day!.
Kill the Goyim by any means possible.

"Some of these quote are spread specifically by anti-semitic groups, in an intentional out-of-context manner, to disinform those less knowledgable about actual Jewish thought and religion. Why are you quoting these "sources" if you are in fact freethinking?"
Which quotes? From the Talmud? She specifically said they were from the Soncino Talmud, and I know for a fact that she's right. So, why is she quoting the Talmud itself? To make a point, obviously.
She also addresses the "out of context" issue in the article - did you even read it?
Comparing this practice to surgical excision, historian Milton Mayer coined the term "contextomy" to describe its use by Julius Streicher, editor of the infamous Nazi broadsheet Der Stürmer in Weimar-era Germany. To arouse anti-semitic sentiments among the weekly’s working class Christian readership, Streicher regularly published truncated quotations from Talmudic texts that, in their shortened form, appear to advocate greed, slavery, and ritualistic murder.[3] Although rarely employed to this malicious extreme, contextomy is a common method of misrepresentation in contemporary mass media, and studies have demonstrated that the effects of this misrepresentation can linger even after the audience is exposed to the original, in context, quote.[4][5][6]
--from page ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_quoting_out_of_contex
1. At the end of every seven years thou shalt
2 And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the LORD'S release hath been proclaimed.
3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it; but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release.
this is the actual original of Deuteronomy 15.
It is about the tradition and commandment to release each other from debt every 7 years, along with many other things. Since only Jews did this, it would not make sense to release random people who don't subscribe to your "tax" or "subsidy" system to get this too.
But the article quotes:
He [the Jew] should not press his fellow [Jew] for payment ...the foreigner [Gentile] you may press for payment." (Deuteronomy 15: 2-3)
Not the same thing at all.
It's like saying you have to pay taxes to a government of a country you don't live in, or just to yours that gives
After reading this I wanted to kick people
There is no debating the fact that the torah is a vile and racist book. The talmud is even worse. But if you point out the racism and hatred, then YOU are the hater and racist. All it takes to ruin someones career and reputation is to call them an "anti-semite."
Now do you people see how it works?
These quotes are out of context and not even correct. The commenters on this page are very racist and impolite. No new-agey people here (which is what I suppose the author expects).
Nope. Just people purposely distorting things.
write about your own religion next time.
All Old Testament's teaching that it make you people slave and prison under Jehovah god, you never free from slave or prison. Jehovah or YHWH is not true God but Yaldabaoth the demiurge, Jew people and christians, all believe the law of god are good but are fool blinds and slaves and prison on the earth, Talmad books are made by man. Jews are corruption because they control you to trap in your life and choke your neck. Jehovah- Yaldaboath lies and betray you, Jehovah-Yaldaboath offspring of the chief Archon, see "Jehovah-Yaldaboath" in website. Most of Jews are ashkenazi about 95% are not true Hebrew or Israelites but from Kazanstan, the Khazans join as Jew religions, Khazans's descentant from Japheth, Magog and gog, Sephardim 5% from babylon. CALL Christians and blinds COME OUT from them if you abide with them you will never free and BYE.
David devoted the spoils of war for the temple (1 Samuel 30:24-26; 2 Samuel 8:11; 1 Chronicles 26:27). The word of God prohibited the Israelites from taking personal booty from the conquered people. Everything was to be devoted to the Lord. Silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron were to be placed in the Lord's treasury, not private coffers (Joshua 6:18-19).
For Nachum...on Jewish criminality--just a small peice of the 'Organised Crime' story. You want more, I can supply: www.fpp.co.uk/online/04/11/Jewish_mafia_Poland.html
I am noticing that there are a lot of angry people who follow this article.
"These quotes are out of context and not even correct. " WRONG! They are definitely correct. It doesn't matter if they're taken "out of context" - if Jews are being brainwashed by them, that might make them act badly. You didn't get the point at all.
I am happy my comment has made the point that it is worth researching the facts of this article, even if the author is putting forward her personal theory, it is not presented as based on objective data in the first place. All are welcome to draw their own conclusions. But this author has clearly drawn her information (perhaps in complete innocence) from anti-semitic sources of propoganda. A five-minute google on any of her direct quotes shows the difference from the original. All people are entitled to their own opinion. I write for those who are interested in thinking for themselves, and might want to go directly to an unbiased source: this is not it.
Hee hee anonymouse! Quote: "A Karaite Jew talks about the Torahs and other stuff...

Interesting video. Watched it all, but that still leaves me wondering if there is a 'Hebrew' version of Torah, because what is translated in english as 'godly' commands to Moses is seriously vile in itself.
I am open to any proof that the Torah also is a 'mistranslation' or some such thing. I would be interested even moreso in regards to that than just the Gospels. Thanks for the thought-provoking info. I much prefer that than to insults and preachments!
CBT: "But this author has clearly drawn her information (perhaps in complete innocence) from anti-semitic sources of propoganda."
These are lies. I know the author's work, and she took the quotes directly from the Bible and the Talmud. Yeah, go ahead and google them - you'll find that this guy CBT is full of bullcrap.
Oh, and by the way, CBT, if you really knew the subject like you pretend you do, you would already know that those quotes ARE from the Talmud, the Soncino, just as Murdock says. You're a fake.
After a pretty good analysis that cites terribly offending Deuteronomy passages, Ms. Murdock then back pedals here as follows:

But relative to “hate”, we Christians have a right to hate the the hate that is in the Talmud and the “Torah SheBeal Peh” and a right to loudly say so for the best of reasons; but, being Christians, forgive the Jews who practice it and revile us as unclean “goys” and not to hate them individually as persons.
What happened to the politicians that were also arrested at the same time? Are we so used to dirty politicians that we aren't even phased by Mayors being involved in such crimes? Does their wrongdoing not deserve such discussion...
This is just an easy excuse to point out the Jews, and make a case for anti-semitism. Yes, they were wrong for doing such crimes but as "Nachum" says: "The thesis of this article has no validity unless it could be shown that the incidence of crime among Jews is higher than the incidence of crime among gentiles." Lets not pick and choose here...

Check out Michael Hoffman's 'Judaism Discovered (from its own texts), available on his website if you want to find the source of this behavior [his book is as good as banned on Amazon] As more and more people awaken to the deception to which we gentiles have been subjected there will (hopefully) be a demand both without and within the Jewish faith for a new and more enlightened way of living together.
If most people could get over the "we're victims, feel sorry for us" mentality Jews try to shove (mostly successfully) down everyone elses throats and see Jews are every bit as racist with a supremist streak running through them as anyone else, then maybe we will begin to treat them equally. They are no different than white supremicists like the KKK, black supremicists like the followers of Louis Farakhan, or people like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Just as bad and not worthy of feeling any grief for any longer. Yea, the Holocaust was bad. That was over 6 decades ago and it's time for the world to stop pandering feeling guilty for something almost no one alive had anything to do with, and treat all racists the same.
This article shows a complete lack of understanding the foundation upon which the scriptures were written. DM may have just a well tried to explain to us brain surgery like she understood it. Non-spiritual minds are not able to comprehend spiritual things. The Jewish nation has added to scripture until corrupting since before Jesus.
Call me cynical, but the chosen have such a stranglehold on the press, why are they outing their own in such a way?
