DID YOU KNOW...?”

The Star of David, known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism.

It is shaped like a hexagram, the compound of two equilateral triangles. One triangle represents the ruling tribe of Judah and the other the former ruling tribe of Benjamin. The hexagram has been in use as a symbol of Judaism since the 17th century. Its use probably derives from medieval (11th to 13th century) Jewish protective amulets.

The term "Shield of David" is also used in the Jewish prayer book as a title of the God of Israel.

For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_David

Dear Jeff,

Shalom from the Holy City! When I arrived here in Jerusalem, people were talking about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit between Iran, China and Russia. Of course, students of Bible prophecy will recognize a coalition of nations described in Ezekiel 38 and 39 as well as Revelation 13 and 16. These nations WILL attack Israel at some point...and the pieces are being put in place. Russia and China have provided key equipment and personnel for Iran's nuclear program and have blocked attempts at serious sanctions against Iran.

Iran's President Ahmadinejad launched another blistering attack on Israel and the United States and called for the SCO to "reform the way the world is managed." The news also broke yesterday that Iran has launched a second satellite into orbit. This greatly concerns Israeli security experts, as advanced missile technology makes the threat of a nuclear attack from Iran more deadly than ever. I am in a country that is besieged and surrounded by enemies...and they need our help!

Dear Jeff,

You and I have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "'Whom shall I send and who will go for us?' Then said I, 'Here am I Lord; send me.'" (Isaiah 6:8)

President Obama's top team of Middle East peace negotiators is staying in the same hotel here in Jerusalem that I am. I saw them eating breakfast in the VIP lounge a little while ago. They are here to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel to make concessions to restart the peace talks with Palestinians. I am here to stand up and speak up for Israel, and I ask that you pray for me today.

The American officials are here trying to get Israel to agree to President Obama's initiative to base renewed negotiations on the June 4, 1967, lines with agreed land swaps. Israel has already rejected the use of those armistice lines as the basis for talks. Not only are they indefensible from a military standpoint, but it is folly to make major concessions before even beginning negotiations. American negotiators are pushing Israel to "show flexibility" on issues that are non-negotiable. We must stand with Israel now against this ridiculous and evil plan to curse the Jewish state.

June 25, 1218: Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester, who expelled the Jews from Leicester, died.[4]



June 21, 1221 Although the Archbishop of Canterbury forbade anti-Jewish riots in Erfurt, Germany, they continued unabated. A group of religious 'pilgrims' on their way to the Holy Land attacked the Jewish quarter burning two synagogues. Some 26 Jews were killed and others threw themselves into the fire rather then be forcibly converted.[5]



June 25, 1240: In Paris, a commission that was making an inquiry into the nature of the Talmud with a specific interest into alleged derogatory comments about Jesus began its deliberation.[6]



1240: Duke Jean le Roux expels Jews from Brittany.[7]



1240: Disputation of Paris. Pope Gregory IX puts Talmud on trial on the charges that it contains blasphemy against Jesus and Mary and attacks on the Church.[8]



1240: Christians began perceiving Jews as stubborn adherents to an archaic and dying religion. By the thirteenth century, many Catholic clerics had declared the Talmud a forbidden work. They hoped in vain that Jews might be more amenable to converting to Christianity if the Old Testament were their only learned book. In an infamous incident in Paris in 1240, the first of more than dozen in Europe, twenty-four wagonloads of handwritten volumes of the Talmud were burned as blasphemous after a trial ordered by King Louis IX. [9]

June 25, 1629: Rabbi Yom Tov Lipman Heller set out for Vienna to face baseless accusations that he had abused his powers as Chief Rabbi of Prague when raising funds demanded by the government to help pay for fighting the Thirty Years War.[10]

June 25, 1644: Lope de Vera (Judah the Believer) was drawn to Judaism by the outrages of the Inquisition. He converted, and during his confinement in prison, he circumcised himself with a bone. He was then burned for refusing to yield to the Inquisition.[11]





1645-51

The (MacKinnon) clan must have been now so attenuated by the destruction of the greater portion of its men in the bloody struggles in which it took part during those six fatal years from 1645-51, that it is not surprising we can find no record of its doings till A.D.1715.[12]

June 25, 1656: Rabbi Menashe Ben Yisrael applied for official permission to practice Judaism in England. The Council of State granted permission. This took place during the period when Oliver Cromwell was in effect the ruler of England. Cromwell and his followers were devout Christians. The agreed to the readmission of the Jews to England because it was pointed out to them that the Second Coming could not take place until Jews populated all parts of the world.[13]

June 25, 1754:

On June 21, 1754, or sometime between that date and June 25, Washington wrote in his journal

about clearing a road to Redstone, and giving misleading information to Indian spies. His journal

reads as follows:

As those Indians, who were spies sent by the French, were very inquisitive, and asked us

many questions in order to learn by what way we proposed to go to the Fort, and at what

time we expected to arrive there, I left off working any further on our road, and told them

we intended to continue it through the woods as far as the Fort, felling the trees, etc. That

we were waiting here for reinforcements which were coming to us, our artillery, and our

wagons to accompany us there, but as soon as they were gone I set about marking out

and clearing a road towards Red-Stone.



As previously noted, his actual intent was to transport the artillery by water when it became

convenient to attack Fort Duquesne.[14]



On June 25, 1754, "George Godlip" was granted 25 acres in Lancaster Co., PA by the Penn family, owners of Pennsylvania.[15]



[16]



June 25, 1755: A sign at Braddocks grave reads:



Maj. Gen Edward Braddock-commander-in-chief the British forces in North America-traveled over the road trace below On June 25, 1755. Marching north with his 2400 man army, the 60 year old Braddock was under orders to capture Fort Duquesne and force the French from the Upper Ohio Valley.[17]

The next term began on June 25, 1777, and the first entry upon

the records was the following:



"Ordered — that the sheriff cause to be Erected a pair of

Stocks, and a Whiping post in the Court-House yard by next

The 135 miles had been covered in six days, averaging over 20 miles per day. The enlisted men spent most of their time lounging around while the officers completed the muster out rolls. Five copies of the Muster Out Rolls and two copies of the Pay Rolls had to be completed.[26]

June 25, 1909: On board Convoy 48 was Fernande Gottlieb born June 25, 1909 from Paris, France, Meyer Gottlieb born April 15, 1881 from Paris, France, and Rosa Gottlieb, born April 20, 1881, from Paris, France.



The routine telex to Eichmann and to Auschwitz was sent on February 13 by Rothke, informing its recipients that on the same day, at 10:10 AM, a convoy of 1,000 Jews left the station at Le Bourget/Drancy for Auschwitz, with Lieutenant Nowak at the helm of the escort. A note by Rothke dated February 16 (XXVc-207) indicated that the convoy had to leave with German forces, but that in spite of their hyesitations, the French police did cooperate in the end when the train was embarking.



There were eight successful escapes from this convoy before the border; and official reports were made on the subject (XXVc-206, 208, 219, 237, and 238. They were also the subject of studies by A. Rutkowski (“Le Mond Juif”: No. 73; January/March 1974; pp. 10-29; and La lute des Juifs en France: pp. 150-59).



Convoy 48 arrived in Auschwitz on February 15. One hundred forty four men were selected and received numbers 102350 through 102492. One hundred sixty seven women received numbers 35357 through 35523. The rest of the convoy was immediately gassed.



In 1945 there were 17 survivors from among the 311 selected. One was a woman.[31]





June 25, 1921

Samuel Gompers becomes the President of the American Federation of Labor for the Fortieth time.[32] Gompers is not related but he did lock horns with John Kirby.



June 25, 1938: German Jewish physicians are permitted to treat only Jewish patients.[33]

•





June 25, 1940: The second Statut des Juifs is promulgated in Vichy, France.[34] It replaces the law of October 1940. It further defines who is considered a Jew: any person with three grandparents of the “Jewish race,” or anyone with two Jewish grandparents who is married to a similar half-Jews. Any convert with two Jewish grandparnets who does not have a baptismal certificate dated prior to June 25, 1940, is defined as Jewish regardless of a spouse’s classification. The new law orders a census of Jews in the Vichy Zone and authorizes prefects to intern French as well a s foreign Jews. It also broadens the list of occupations forbidden to Jews.

Decrees issued in the following weeks and months further restrict Jewish participation in the arts, publishing, and broadcasting.[35]





A regulation issued by the German military administration in France gives a new definition of a Jew:



1. Any person is considered a Jew who has at least three grandparents of Pure Jewish race. A Grandparent is considered to be legally of pure Jewish race if the person has belonged to the Jewish religion. Equally considered to be Jewish is any person descended from two grandparents of pure Jewish race who”

a. On June 25, 1940 was married to a Jewish spouse or who married a Jewish spouse at a later date; or who

b. On June 25, 1940 was married to a Jewish spouse or who married a Jewish spouse at a later date.

In case of doubt, any person is considered a Jew if they belong or have belonged to the Jewish religion.[36]



• June 25, 1941: About 15,000 Jews are killed in Iasi in a pogrom.[37]



Convoy 4, June 25, 1942.



Abram Gotlib born July 4, 1915 from Varsovie (Warsaw, Poland) was on Convoy 4. [38]



This convoy, which left from Pityhiviers was exclusively male, like the first two convoys. Among the 999 men that the Germans listed according to nationality, there were 937 Poles, 20 Germans, 20 Czechs, 5 Russians, 1 Austrian, 1 stateless, and 8 undetermined.



The men’s ages vary from 20 top 54, with the majority (795) between ages 31 and 42.



The list is extremely difficult to decipher. It shows family name, first name, date and place of birth, family status, nationality, profession and address.



The addresses indicate that all were living in or afoutne Paris, as in the two preceding convoys (mainly from working class neighborhoods, the 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, and 20th districts). And, like those in the two preceding convoys, they were arrested during the operations of May and August, 1941.



The list was signed on June 22nd, 1942, by the Commandant of the Pithiviers camp, with two amendments dated June 24, concerning the replacement of 5 men.



Certain Gestapo documents concern this convoy: XXVI-31 of June 16; XXVb-38 of June 17 and 18; XXVb-40 of June 25, which was the telex of the SiPo=SD Kommando of Orleans addressed to the anti-Jewish section IV J of the Gestapo in Paris, announcing that the list of 1,000 Jewish men was sent to IV J. Document XXVI-35 of June 19 gives the schedule for the train: Pithiviers, 6:15 AM; Troyes, 11:35 AM; St-Dizier, 3:14 PM; Revigny, 4:29 PM.



The routine telex, sent on June 25 to Eichmann in Berlin, to the Inspector for Concentration Camps at Oranienburg, and to the Commandant at Auschwitz, shows that the convoy did leave Pithiviers at 6:15 AM as predicted on e week earlier. The telex indicates that there were 1,000 Jews and that the “head of the convoy” (Transportfuhrer) to Neuberg (on the border) was Lieut. Kleinschmidt.



When they arrived in Auschwitz, on June 27, the 1,000 deporees received numbers 41773 to 42772. On August 15, seven weeks later, 557 were still alive. Forty-Five percent had died, as compared to ythe 80% for the preceding convoy. Two factors expolain this considerable differencd. First, the average age on this convoy was five years less than the preceding two. Second, more than 90% of the deportees were of Polish origin and better able to resist the terrible conditions in the Polish camp of Auschwitz than, for example, were the 435 French Jews of Convoy #3, which had left just three days earlier.



To the best of our knowledge, 59 survivors returned in 1945.[39]



June 25, 1942: The document bearing the number XXVb indicates that the first five deportation convoys (March 27, June 5, 22, 25 and 28, 1942) represented anti-Jewish reprisal measures and therefore include French citizens. In the future, thanks to an agreement with Vichy, convoys of thousands of stateless, Polish, Czech, and Russan Jews would leave from the unoccupied zone.



Other documents concerning this convoy and the two subsequent convoys are:



XXVb-37 and XXVb-38: Eichmann cabled Knochen that a decision pertaing to those three convoys was made. One would leave on June 22 at 8:55 AM from Le Bourget/Drancy. On June 25, the second would depart at 6:15 AM from Pithiviers and on June 28, the third from Beaune-la-Roland at 5:20 AM. The hours were decided upon after consulting M. Niklas, of the department for rail traffic.

--XXVb-39, a document from the Hauptverkehrsdirektion (German office of rail transport), signed “Never”, giving the itinerary and time schedule of the French part of the trip of the special convoy of workers for Auschwitz: Le Borget, 8:55 AM; Bobigny, 9:20 AM; Noisy-le-Sec, 9:30 AM; Epernay, 1:14/1:47 PM; Chalons-sur-Marne, 2:36/2:42 PM: Bar-le-Duic 5:05/5:17 PM; Lerinville 6:39/ 6:44 PM; Neuburg (Mosel) 7:57/8:20 PM.



A non-Jewish French woman named Alice Courouble was arrested for having worn the yellow star in defiance of German ordinances. She was interned in the camp of “Les Toruelles.” In her book “Amie des Juifs” she bears witness to the conditions of the departure from Les Tourelles of the first 66 women to be deported from France (pp.-41):



“We were eating in the cafeteria. A brief command: ‘Everyone outside.’ Under the chestnut trees, we spied three German officers.

“Another order: ‘All Jews ages 18 to 42 in one line!’ Then a moment later: ‘Turn around, face the courtyard! The others, get back inside!’

]”It all happened so quickly, I was so taken aback that I cannot even tell which voice gave the order and who was repeating them.

“Go up to your rooms immediately,’ whispers Gaby/. Very moved, but still courageous, whe walks around trying to maintain order.

“Once upstairs, the police lieutenant enters.

“The women are going to cross this dormitory. Not one cry, not one word, not a single sign, not a move! The first one to move will have to join them and leave with them. Understood?’

“A scraping of steps, the door opens. One policeman, two policemen, still others. They form a line from one door to the other. The first one opens the back door. A large empty room appears. Not a bed, not a chair.

“The sacrificial coluimn passes. Our silence makes for a wall between us. They are all calm: Sonia, Raya, blond Helene, a mother, a daughter… We cry, stifling our sighs; we dare not even wipe our tears.

“The door closes, the policeman remains in front.

“For three days and three nights, we will have a policeman guarding our dormitory, and another one at the door.

For dressing and undressing it’;s quite embarrassing.

“The first night, it was a whole patrol of policemen who spoke loudly and carried electric lamps, breaking up the floor with their naliled shoes.

“During the day, the mothers, the friends all came carrying plates of biscuits, bread and butter, begging to policeman: ‘Sir, Sir, be kind… Sir, you are a good man…’

“Madame, I am not allowed, the orders are very strict, you are going to have me punished…’

“He was pale, he was beginning to think that they had given him a strange job. Altogether, the policemen didn’t seem so proud!

“The mothers, on their knees, their lips to the lock or the wood of the door called to their enclosed daughters: ‘My daughter, my little girl, my Helen…’ From the other side came the sharp or hoarse voices: Mother, my dear little mother…’ Young women, still almost girls, cried for their mothers, who , still young, were part of the large group. On a bed, near the door, a small and very fat woman fell into nervous hysteria. She groaned rehythmically, with a voice like a man, serious and husky with pain. She lay like a rag and no one succeeded in comforting her.

“Her daughter was blond, very pretty, with long white earrings. When the door opened, one could see the young girl and her long earrings.

“In the narrow cleft of light, a multitude of faces, of brunettes, or blonds, open mouths, cried, called, held out their hands imploring. Impossible to tell which hand belonged to which face. A human entanglement, a chorus of begging calls. ‘Water!’ ‘Call my mother! ‘Tell Ginette to come!’ ‘Give me my handbag, quickly! Oh, hurry up!’ The worried policeman pulled the door closed. The Dante like vision faded away.

“An unbearable infection overtook the isolation chamber. They had been closed in with large pots and tubs of water. There were 70 of them.

“in THE MORNING, I STOOD ON LINE IN THE VILLAGE,’ AND SAW TWO MEN PASS, PRISONERS FROM ACROSS, WITH THE POLICEMEN. They came down a little later, carrying on two sticks three awful pots, smelling, overflowing, in which paper was swimming. I stood against the wall forbidding myself to be disgusted as their instruments of hiumiliation went by. I can still see our beautiful ‘countess.’ She was there, too. She made no sign, but she was looking, her eyes wide open and her face swimming with tears.

“In order to permit them to wash, they were brought down, well guarded, to the taps on the ground floor. Just before, a heavy whistle sent us upstairs to the first floor dormitory. When we were all inside, we heard an enormous key turn in the lock; heavy bars fell against the doors; we were locked in. The cursed cattle could go through, they would not find a sympathetic soul on their way. This ban on seeing them made us feel as if they were already dead.

“Sunday morning, aqt 5:00 AM, the droning of the bus motors awakened us. My friends rushed to the windows. It was the departure for the first step, Drancy. The bus headlights swept the ceiling and gave off an intermittent light.

“I did not go to look. I was too saddened.

“Suddenly, outside, two or three voices sang the ‘Marseillaise.’ Little by little, others followed. In our room, sobs replied.”



When they arrived in Auschwitz on June 24, the deportees received numbers 40681 to 41613 for 933 men, and 7961 to 8026 for the 66 women. On August 15, only 186 remained alive. In seven and a half weeks, the mortality rate was 80%.



As far as we know, only 23 survivors returned in 1945 from this convoy, five of them women.



June 25, 1942: Churchill and Roosevelt confer in Washington.[40]



• June 25, 1943: Jews in Czestochowa resist the Germans with arms.[41]



June 25, 1951: . Columbia Broadcast System (CBS) aired the first color TV program. The transmission was an hour long show starring Ed Sullivan and Brother Arthur Godfrey. Few people, however, were able to see the show in color because most homes at the time only had black and white sets. Brother Godfrey was best known for his televison show, Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts. He became a mason in Acacia lodge No. 18 in Washington, DC in 1937. A member of Albert Pike Consistory, AASR, he joined Almas Shrine Temple May 19, 1937. Brother Godfrey was born in New York City August 31, 1903. (The Learning Kingdom)[42]

June 25, 1962
