A point of clarification. If anybody wants to get to the Torah site, they do not have to go thru Temple Judah. They can use http://DownhomeDavarTorah.blogspot.com and that will take them right to it.

303-313: Severe persecutions of Christians occurred from 303 to 313 under Deocletian. On February 24, 303: The first official Roman edict for the persecution of Christians was issued by Roman Emperor Galerius Valerius Maximianus. This was part a contest between Pagans and Christians for control of the Roman Empire. The Jews were not involved. But they would be the ultimate losers when Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire and the Church unleashed the power of the state on all religious groups that opposed it, including the Jews.
February 24, 1147: In Wurzburg, Germany, a rumor began that a Christian corpse was found in the river which could perform miracles. The Jews were accused to killing the person. In the ensuring riots, twenty two Jews were murdered including the rabbi, Isaac ben Elyukem. After the riot the survivors fled to a local Castle.
1148
In 1148 the Crusader forces were crushed outside the walls of Damascus, turning the Second Crusade into a total disaster and emboldening the forces of Islam further in their quest for the reconquest of Palestine.
1152
In 1152 Eleanor of Aquitaine married Henry II, and so her dowry of Aquitaine shifted to England. Henry II, wily, full blooded, and tempestuous, whose pedigree could be traced to Noah and whose ambitions were huge, was much more suited to Eleanor’s lusty and high spirited ways. By him the sons flowed one after another. These affections were prophesied by no less a figure than Merlin the magician.
Richard, Henry II third son was Eleanor’s favorite.
February 24, 1221: Alice de Montmorency, wife of Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester passed away. In 1217, Alice ordered the arrest of all of the Jews living in Toulouse. They could either convert or be killed. Children under the age of six were taken from their parents, baptized and raised Christians. Her actions violated the promise her husband had made to the Jews of Toulouse guaranteeing them their freedom and right to practice their religion.
February 24, 1401
William Sawtrey, a priest from Lynn in Norfolk, became the first martyr for Wycliffe’s doctrine. Among other charges, he had been guilty of saying, “Instead of adoring the cross on thish Christ suffered, I adore Christ who suffered on it.” On February 24th, 1401, he was conducted to St. Paul’s, where he was degraded from office, then handed over to the “mercy” of the state. In March Sawtrey was burned in Smithfield before a crowd of spectators. It was the first recorded burning of a heretic in England since that of a deacon convicted of converting to Judaism nearly two hundred years before.
1401 and 1402 The three Spirit Pond rume stones date to this period. They include the Enscryption Stone, the Map Stone and the Norway Stone. The Enscryption Stone appears to be a ships log and has been difficult to decipher. They contain the hooked X. In runes carved on the rock is enscribed “Vinland, takes two days and is pointing toward the Cape Cod, Narragansit Bay area where another stone is found with a hooked X.

The Narragansit Stone is thought to describe the surrounding landscape. The Sinclair’s and Templars are thought to have created all these rock enscription.


1403
Now let us examine the claim that Gutleben also had the Jewish name Jechiel. Accordingly, Gutleben/Vivelin was certainly not originally called Chajjim at all, for he would hardly go by two Jewish first names! So here we are again dealing with a thesis of Moses Ginsburrger who was led to this assumption at one time through the discovery of a Jewish gravestone dated 1403, the deceased Joseph Gutleben and the one called Gutleben, should be in this case: Jechiel’s son, named for Gutleben’s father Josset (Joseph). Aside from the fact that “Gutleben,” according to Ginsburger’s own assertion, stands afdter all for “Vivelin/Chajjim,” it still needs to be remarked that the gravesite in question must not necessarily have stemmed from Basel’
S Jewish cemetery. But above all, one cannot avoid asking whether foreign Israelites, after the flight of Jews from Basel, were allowed to continue to bury their dead in the necropolis there, or to do so only case of an exception. We will not make Ginsburger’s presumption about the identity of the father of the dead Joseph our own.

February 24, 1479: After four years of conflict and intrigue, Queen Isabella of Castile secured her throne. Isabella’s machinations to gain control of the kingdom show her as every bit as other female monarchs as Elizabeth of England or Catherine the Great of Russia. Later in the year, she would marry Ferdinand of Aragon, a move that would lead to the creation of the modern Spanish state. Contrary to popular misconception, she was the abler of the two monarchs. In fact, it was only because Ferdinand was a man in a male-dominated society that saved his reputation. Isabella’s accession to the throne was the first in a series of events that would end with the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.
February 24, 1510: Pope Julius II excommunicated the Republic of Venice. Many remember Julius II as the Pope who commissioned Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel. Julius II, like at least one of his predecessors, had a Jewish physician; in this case Samuel Sarfatti. From the Jewish point of view, Julius clashes such as the one that brought on the above mentioned excommunication and aesthetic projects meant that he did not have time to waste on persecuting his Jews. Out of sight out of mind or benign neglect placed Julius on the list of one of the “better Popes.”
1510: Jews expelled from Naples.

This woodcut from a German pamphlet published in 1510 shows Jews desecrating a piece of the consecrated bread considered sacred by Christians. At the left, a man is about to stab the bread with a hunting knife. Inflammatory publications like this often led to violent attacks on Jewish populations in Europe.
February 24, 1582: Pope Gregory XIII announced the Gregorian calendar. This replaced the Julian calendar which explains why there is some confusion about various dates in history. Of course the Jews use their own calendar, but as a people who “live in time” it is useful to know when other parts of the Western world began changing the way they keep track of the years.

Old State House in Boston.

February 24, 1761
James Otis argues against the Writs of Assistance in a court trial at the Old State House, in Boston. On February 24, 1761 James Otis voices opposition to English colonial rule in a speech before the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. A boulder commemorates James Otis, whose 1761 speech against the writs of assistance was “the birth of the child Independence”. Otis was the patriot’s spiritual leader until he was clubbed over the head by a British officer in a barroom brawl. After a lead plate (not used today for obvious reasons including lead poisoning) was put in his head he rapidly lost his sanity and became more of an embarrassment (running through town naked)than a hero.

February 24, 1803: The Supreme Court rules an act of Congress null and void if it conflicts with the United States Constitution.
February 24, 1825: Ben Franklin Brittain, born February 24, 1825, Died September 22, 1847. (Died in defense of his country, a soldier in the Mexican War .) The Compiler’s 3rd cousin, six times removed.
February 24, 1836: On this day in 1836, in San Antonio, Texas, Colonel William Travis issues a call for help on behalf of the Texan troops defending the Alamo, an old Spanish mission and fortress under attack by the Mexican army.
A native of Alabama, Travis moved to the Mexican state of Texas in 1831. He soon became a leader of the growing movement to overthrow the Mexican government and establish an independent Texan republic. When the Texas revolution began in 1835, Travis became a lieutenant-colonel in the revolutionary army and was given command of troops in the recently captured city of San Antonio de Bexar (now San Antonio). On February 23, 1836, a large Mexican force commanded by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana arrived suddenly in San Antonio. Travis and his troops took shelter in the Alamo, where they were soon joined by a volunteer force led by Colonel James Bowie.
Though Santa Ana's 5,000 troops heavily outnumbered the several hundred Texans, Travis and his men determined not to give up. On February 24, they answered Santa Ana's call for surrender with a bold shot from the Alamo's cannon. Furious, the Mexican general ordered his forces to launch a siege. Travis immediately recognized his disadvantage and sent out several messages via couriers asking for reinforcements. Addressing one of the pleas to "The People of Texas and All Americans in the World," Travis signed off with the now-famous phrase "Victory or Death."
Only 32 men from the nearby town of Gonzales responded to Travis' call for help, and beginning at 5:30 a.m. on March 6, Mexican forces stormed the Alamo through a gap in the fort's outer wall, killing Travis, Bowie and 190 of their men. Despite the loss of the fort, the Texan troops managed to inflict huge losses on their enemy, killing at least 600 of Santa Ana's men.
The brave defense of the Alamo became a powerful symbol for the Texas revolution, helping the rebels turn the tide in their favor. At the crucial Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 910 Texan soldiers commanded by Sam Houston defeated Santa Ana's army of 1,250 men, spurred on by cries of "Remember the Alamo!" The next day, after Texan forces captured Santa Ana himself, the general issued orders for all Mexican troops to pull back behind the Rio Grande River. On May 14, 1836, Texas officially became an independent republic. Gary and Mary Goodlove discovered the name of a Harrison on the official plaque at the Alamo. It is not known if he is a relative.

February 24, 1918: Einstein wrote “to an academic correspondent who had rebuked him for his dislike of war, ‘Your ostentatious Teutonic muscle-flexing runs rather against my grain.

•

February 24, 1942: The Struma was torpedoed and sunk by the Soviet submarine SC 213. Approximately 769 illegal Jewish immigrants aboard the Struma perished on their way to Palestine. The Struma was one of a series of ships filled with Jews that attempted to run the British blockade. The blockade was part of the British commitment to the Arabs to keep Jews out of Palestine in violation of the Balfour Declaration and the terms of the Mandate. The British slavishly enforced the blockade during and after World War II. The Struma traversed the Black Sea and attempted to stop at Istanbul. But the British told the Turks that the Jews would not be allowed to land in Palestine so they turned the ship back in the Black Sea. It was there that the ship was sunk, reportedly torpedoed by a Nazi submarine. Exodus by Leon Uris is based on another blockade running episode that took place in 1947.

February 24, 1943: Hitler sent Nazi members a message on the anniversary of the establishment of the Nazi Party, "The struggle will end . . . with the liquidation of Jewry in Europe."

“On February 24, 1943: Rothke reported to Lischka on a conversation with Sauts, the chief of staff of Police Commissionner Leguay, about ‘the solution of the Jewish problem in France, and the Italians’ attitude toward the Jewish problem.
‘Sauts replied to me that the arrest of 2,000 Jews by the French police in the zone formerly and presently occupied in order to effect the measures of reprisals ordered by threw Paris Commander [Lischka] was underway.

Before February 23, more than 1,500 able bodied Jews between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five, in each precinct. They were found either at liberty (registered addresses or not) or in the reception centers of the Social Service for Foreigners, or even in orphanages such as Chateau de la Hille in Haute-Garonne. Two contingents of one hundred persons were sent from the Noe and Vernet Camps directly to Gurs…

‘From all corners of the old unoccupied zone persons arrested were sent as swiftly as possible to the camp at Gurs. The total number of newcomers was far from enough, and so a significant number of those already at Gurs had to be included. .”[8]
