Colleges Sign Up For Obama's Interfaith Program


First Posted: 8/3/11 09:00 PM ET Updated: 8/3/11 09:00 PM ET

WASHINGTON -- More than 250 colleges, universities and seminaries have submitted plans to the White House for yearlong interfaith service projects in response to a campaign launched by the Obama administration.

Joshua DuBois, director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, said officials had hoped for 100 participants.

"They don't have to agree about their different beliefs but we feel like they can agree on issues of service and strengthening our communities," he said Tuesday (Aug. 2). "And so many of them are responding and saying ... we want to take you up on this challenge."

Projects range from Adrian College, a United Methodist-related school in Michigan, which will combat sex trafficking, to Southern Utah University, a state-supported school, which will help hungry families.

The "campus challenge," which was launched in March, grew out of recommendations from advisers to DuBois' office who called for projects on more than 500 U.S. campuses by the end of 2012.

Eboo Patel, president of Interfaith Youth Core and one of those advisers, said he was pleased with the diversity of participants, including Cornell University, University of South Carolina, evangelical Bethel University in Michigan and Hebrew College, a rabbinical school in Massachusetts.

"I really believe that this is an historic moment for the interfaith cooperation movement," he said Tuesday.[1]

The de-legitimization of Israel


Dear Jeff,

Since its rebirth in 1948, Israel has endured and overcome military attacks from neighboring nations. She has been assailed by gun-wielding fanatics and terrorists encased in explosive-laden backpacks. Israel stands today because of the grit and tenacity of the Jewish people and the providence of God. Having been deterred by Israel's security forces, her enemies have turned to defaming the nation by questioning her very right to exist. This attack is both convoluted and hazardous. The airwaves are constantly

bombarded by those wishing to prove Israel's lack of legitimacy as a nation and detailing her supposed "war crimes" against humanity. I don't often quote Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi war criminal, but in this instance, it is appropriate: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

The denial of the authentic claim of the Jewish people to occupy their homeland is de-legitimization at its worst . Those who would wish to strip the Jewish people of their birthright are subtle and urbane. Israel is cleverly portrayed as a nation of immoral people whose birth is illegitimate and character questionable. The test for those embroiled in this issue is to separate valid criticism from innuendo--to distinguish the truth from the lie. In peace talks, Israel is portrayed as the recalcitrant child unwilling to share her toys with the other kids on the block. The Palestinians are the poor, deprived underlings. They are the orphans with a hidden roomful of toys donated by those who pity the underprivileged--the bully on the block who somehow manages to elicit sympathy while surreptitiously pummeling the innocent. The fires of public opinion are burning brightly against the State of Israel.

Western countries and leaders unfortunately seem to have embraced this crusade for de-legitimizing Israel. The Liberal Left has joined forces with fanatical Muslim elements in an attempt to crush the very life from the Jewish nation comparable in size to the state of New Jersey. Israel is expected to kowtow to the demands of its detractors without a whimper and accept her intended fate without a fight. With the Liberal Left emphasis on human rights and a finger of blame pointed at Israel as a nation that intentionally violates those standards, world leaders have become more accepting of the de-legitimization process.

Understand this clearly--every nation and individual that supports the United Nations and Obama Administration plan to curse Israel and steal from her the land God promised the Jews as an eternal possession will suffer His chastisement and judgment. Every nation and individual that opposes this plan and stands with Israel as a blessing to her will enjoy His blessing.


Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans



This Day…

August 4, 70 A.D.[2] Finally the Temple itself, with its vast complex of buildings and courts, was burnt and utterly demolished.[3]

70 A.D.

The rapid growth of Judaism had brought it into direct conflict with the newest Middle Eastern superpower, Rome. After a series of Jewish rebellions against Roman rule, the legionnaires moved in. Following a protracted siege, the Roman armies fought their way into Jerusalem in A.D. 70. They massacred the city’s inhabitants, burned the Jewish temple, and sold the survivors into slavery.[4] Jews were banned from living in Jerusalem and Judea.[5] The Jewish state comes to an end in 70 AD, when the Romans begin to actively drive Jews from the home they had lived in for over a millennium. But the Jewish Diaspora ("diaspora" ="dispersion, scattering") had begun long before the Romans had even dreamed of Judaea.[6]


Roman soldiers carrying off the Menorah, the seven-branched candelabra, and other spoils from the Temple in Jerusalem. The Roman general Titus had the Temple destroyed (7O CE) and the Jewish population expelled. Jews began to settle throughout the Roman Empire, along the coast of North Africa, in Italy and Spain, along the river Rhine and in France.

Detail from the Arch of Titus, Rome 1st century CE


[7]

For most of the first millennium after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 C.E., the center of world Jewry was Babylonia, present day Iraq.

70 A.D.

The gospel of Mark preserves a long discours by Jesus that cholars call the “Little Apocalypse” that basically offers a running interpretation of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy. It is built around the expectation that Jerusalem and the Temple would someday be surrounded by armies and destroyed, just prior to “the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory” (Mark 13:26). The followers of Jesus are told that those who are in Judea are to “flee to the mountains” before the siege, as a terrible time of trouble is to followe. Whether Jesus predicted these things or not, and most scholars have concluded they were likely put in his mouth shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D., they nonetheless offer strong support to the flighjt from Jerusalem tradition. It is unlikely that Mark, writing shortly after the Jewish Revolt, would have had Jesus telling his followers to do something that they in fact never did. Mark can be read backward, as “history” in the mouth of Jesus written after the fact.[8]

After 70 A.D., as we shall see, when the Jerusalem center of the movement had been destroyed and its leaders killed or scattered, the influence of the message of the original Twelve Apostles began to diminish.[9]

August 4, 367: Gratian, son of Roman Emperor Valentinian I, is named co-August by his father and associated to the throne aged eight. The reign of Valentinan I was a period of religious toleration where all cults, including Judaism, were practiced with little or no interference from the state. Gratian would reverse his father’s policy of toleration, although most of his actual edicts were aimed against the Pagans.[10]

382 CE: Octagonal Church, Church of the Apostles, Jerusalem, built by Emperor Thodosius who made Christianity the official religion.[11]

386 A.D.: Tradition tells us the date of St. Patricks birth as 386 A.D. in a civilized town by the sea but like everything in his life the location is widely disputed.[12]

August 4, 1265: During the Baron’s War, Prince Edward (the future King Edward I of England), leading the armies his father, King Henry III defeated the forces of rebellious barons led by Sim de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leiceswter at the Battle of Evesham killing de Montfort and many of his allies. During the Barons Wars, the Jews were seen as instruments of royal oppression and one Jewish community after another was ransacked and many of its inhabitants killed during the fighting which had begun in 1263. In 1264, the violence became so bad, that many Jews fled to Normandy. As bad as things were under King Henry III, life would be worse under the reign of Edward who would order their expulsion in 1290.[13]

April 4,1278: Nicholas III issued a Papal Bull ordering Jews to hear sermons on conversion.[14]

August 4, 1546: The twenty-third Chief, Ewen Raadh nan Cath, of Straghuordill, was summoned before Parliament and charged with rebellion by acts dated, April 26th, 1531 and September 9th, 1545 (temps. James V. and Mary). The summons was finally deserted, August 4, 1546.[15]

August 4, 1558: The first printed edition of the Zohar appeared. This popularized the study of Kabbala, mysticism and messianism.[16]

August 4, 1578: This date is considered a Moroccan Purim (Purim de Los Christianos), when Jews there faced near disaster when the opposition led by King Sebatian of Portugal nearly succeeded in conquering the country. The Portuguese were defeated at al-Qasr al-Kabir. Their defeat meant that the Inquisition would not be coming to Morocco. The Jews of Morocco saw them self-delivered from a Portuguese Haman, hence the name of the celebration. [17]

August 4, 1750

1750 John Crawford born.

William and Hannah Crawford purchase 64 acres of land in Frederick Co., VA, August 4, 1750 from Elijah Teague on a branch of the Shenandoah River called Cattail Run[18] for £64. Deed Book B, page 135, Frederick Co., VA. They also quit rented 128 acres of land from Lord Thomas Fairfax.

William became a surveyor and farmer.[19]



August 4, 1753: George Washington Raised to Master Mason at Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4.[20]

August 4, 1756

French General, Joseph de Montcalm, captures Fort Oswego in northern New York, during the French and Indian War.[21]



August 4, 1771: The courts for Westmoreland County were not in existence

for a year until the boundary controversy with Virginia broke out

with virulence. Two years before the organization of Westmoreland County out of Bedford County, troubles between the Pennsylvania

and Virginia adherents had occurred, and the situation at that

time is well illustrated by a quaint letter to Arthur St. Clair

written by George Wilson, dated Springhill Township, August 4,

1771. Both St. Clair and Wilson were then Justices of the

Bedford County court. Wilson had come into Pennsylvania from

Virginia, in 1768 or 1769, and had settled on George's Creek, near

New Geneva in the present Fayette County, and though from

Virginia he became and remained an ardent adherent of Penn-

sylvania. He was the great-grandfather of Hon. W. G. Hawkins,

now the President Judge of the Orphans' Court for Allegheny

county. A portion of his letter was as follows:



"I am sorry that the first letter that I ever undertook to write

you should contain a Detail of a Grievance so Disagreeable to

me; Wars of any Cind are not agreeable to any Person Possessed

of ye proper feelings of Humanity, but more especially intestin

Broyls. I no sooner Returned Home from Court than I Found

papers containing the Resolves, as they Called them, of ye inhabi-

tants to ye Westward of ye Laurel hills, was handing fast about

amongst ye people, in which amongst ye rest Was one that the

Ware Resolved to oppose Every of Pens Laws as they Called

them. Except Felonious actions, at ye risque of Life, & under ye

penalty of fifty pounds, to be Recovered or Leveyed By themselves

off ye Estates of ye failure. The first of them I found hardey

anugh to ofter it in public I emediately ordered in Custoty, on

which a large number Ware assembled as Was seposed to Resque

the Prisonar. I indavoured, by all ye Reason I was Capable of to

convince them of ye ill consequences that would of Consequence

attend such a Rebellion, & Hapily Gained on the people to Consent

to relinquish their Resolves & to Bum the Paper they signed —

when ther Forman saw that the Arms of his centry, that as hee

said He had thrown himself into, would not Resque him By force,

hee catched up his Rifle, Which Was Well Loaded, Jumped out

of Dors & swore if any man Cam nigh him he Would put what

Was in his throo them; the Person that Had him in Custody

Called for assistance in ye King's name, and in particular com-

manded my self. I told him I was a Subject & was not fit to

command if not willing to obey, on which I watched his eye until

I saw a chance. Sprang in on him & Seized the Rifle by ye Muzzle

ic« and held him So as he Could not Shoot me, untill more help Gott

]iit in to my assistance, on which I Disarmed him & Broke his Rifle

Hid to peses. I Res'd a Sore Bruse on one of my arms By a punch

of ye Gun in ye Struggle — Then put him under a Strong Guard, Told

them ye Laws of their Countrie was stronger than the Hardist

Ruffln amongst them. I found it necessary on their Compliance &

altering their Resolves, and his promising to give himself no more

trouble in ye affair, as hee found that the people Ware not as

hardey as hee Expected them to be, to Relece him on his promise

of Good Behavior:" [22][23]

• August 4, 1911: At a conference in New York, the Seventh Day Adventist adopt resolutions condemning the mistreatment of Jews.[31]

• August 4, 1912: Birthdate of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the truly great, brave people of history. A Swede, Wallenberg risked his life by going to Hungary in 1944 and literally yanking thousands of Jews from the jaws of death. He disappeared into the hands of the Red Army when it liberated Budapest. Some claim that he passed away in a soviet prison in 1947. But nobody really knows what happened to him other than the fact the world did nothing to save him.[32]

• August 14, 1914: Germany invades Belgium which forces Great Britain to declare war on Germany since the British are guarantors of Belgian independence and neutrality. It was the invasion of Belgium that “sealed the deal” and turned the nascent European hostilities into World War I. From the vantage point of the 21st century, we can see so many places where this war might have been avoided and all that flowed from it including the Shoah. In other words, if the Germans had viewed treaties than more than “a scrap of paper” (the way one German leader reportedly described the treaty guaranteeing Belgium’s independence, six million Jews might not have been smoke and ashes.)[33]

• August 4-5, 1941: A Jewish Council is established in Kovno (Lithuania) under Elchanan Elkes and told by the German authorities that it is responsible for the transfer of the Jews to the ghetto.[34]

• August 4, 1942: The first train with Jews from Belgium went to Auschwitz. The train contained 998 Jews. Normally the Germans would wait until they had an even thousand before sending a train from Belgium to Auschwitz. (On April 19, 1943, three Jewish resistance fighters would stop the Twentieth Train with Jews bound for Auschwitz. Several hundred Jews would escape, although many were caught in later round-ups and sent to the camps. This episode teaches us many valuable lesson. One of them is about Jewish courage in the face of almost certain death. Another of them is that history is not made up of events, but of the events we know about. The ambush took place on the same day as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Both knew events of great courage. But we only celebrate the events at Warsaw because that is the one that most people know about)[35]

• August 4, 1942: One thousand Jews were deported from Theresienstadt.[36]

• August 4, 1942: In Warsaw, Chaim Kaplan wrote the last entry in his diary before he was murdered: “If my life ends-what will become of my diary?” Saul Friedlander would see to it that the material covered in the diary would survive the killers and the victims when he would use it as resource material for The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945.[37]

• August 4, 1942: In Radom, Poland, 10,000 Jews were assembled for deportation to Treblinka. The Germans began shooting them as they gathered.[38]

• August 4, 1942: An additional 13,000 Jews were rounded up in Warsaw as Operation Reinhard continued into its second month.[39]

• August 4-Semptember 4, 1943: Seven thousand Jews are deported from Vilna to Estonia for forced labor.[40]

• August 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested with her parents and sister. Anne, 15 years old, was sent to Bergen-Belsen where she died in March 1945.[41]

• August 4, 1944: A limited number of Jewish war refugees arrive in New York Harbor. They then moved to a decommissioned army camp in Oswego New York. Ruth Gerber, an American journalist was selected “to go on a secret mission to escort the refugees to the United States. This Journey became “the defining Jewish moment” of Gruber’s life. In her role as a spokesperson for the refugees, Gruber presented the refugees’ journey as a human interest story for the press. She told the New York Times that the refugees represented “a cross-section of every refugee now pouring into Italy,” including Jews, Catholics and Protestant for whom religious services were held onboard the ship. In a touching moment in Haven, her book recounting the voyage, Gruber recalls a rabbi conducting a service as the boat passed the Statue of Liberty, and her pride in telling the Jewish refugees of the Holocaust that the poem on the base was written by Emma Lazarus, an American Jew. The story of these European refugees stands out as a momentary relaxation of America’s restrictive immigration policy. President Roosevelt’s decision provided the refugees with a safe haven as “guests” in the United States during the war, with the assumption that “they were destined to be sent back to their homelands when the peace comes.” While Roosevelt planned to allow the nearly 1000 refugees to reside in the United States only until the end of hostilities, when the end of the war came, Gruber lobbied the President and Congress, with the help of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant clergy, and convinced the officials to let the refugees stay. While the story ended happily for these refugees, sadly it came at the expense of others waiting in displaced persons camps in Europe. Since the overall immigration laws and quotas remained unchanged, the close to 1000 refugees were just subtracted from that years’ quota.[42]

[27] On the 4th there was a “big scare” at Harper’s Ferry so the new army set out to investigate the threat but found nothing. (Pvt. Miller, 24th Iowa Volunteer, http:home.comcast.net/~troygoss/millbk3.html)

The Twenty-fourth Iowa was now about to enter upon an entirely new field of warfare, in which but few of the regiments from its own State had been called to serve. On the 4th of August it was conveyed by rail to Harper’s Ferry, where it arrived at midnight and moved out on the Winchester Pike and went into bivouac.

(Point of Rocks) In July, 1864, Lt. Colonal John Mosby, CSA, in support of General Jubal Early’s invasion of Maryland, crossed the Potomac River from Virginia with 250 cavalry and attacked a Union garrison in Point of Rocks. The Union troops took cover on the other side of the C&O canal (across the pivot bridge pictured here) until they were reinforced by Colonal Clendenin’s Cavalry. After a 30 minute exchange of gunfire, the Confederates went back across the Potomac to Virginia.
