Israel Intensifies Oppression of Torah Scholars While Yisrael Remains in Exile
Rabbi Lando’s report from Chicago reveals the modern state of Israel is enacting hardship upon those who earnestly seek Yahuah’s instruction. This is not a sign of a righteous nation, but a symptom of judgment upon a people strayed from covenant.
The so-called nation of Israel continues to demonstrate its spiritual bankruptcy, even as it postures as a beacon of faith. Rabbi Dov Lando, speaking at a fundraiser in Chicago, has illuminated a growing darkness within the Zionist state: the persecution of yeshiva students and the deliberate creation of economic hardship for those dedicated to Torah study.
This is not a matter of simple financial difficulty. It is a targeted assault on the very heart of Yahuah’s law. While scattered Yisrael languishes in exile, awaiting the promised restoration, the modern state of Israel prioritizes military expansion and worldly pursuits over the sustenance of those who uphold the covenant. This inversion of priorities is a clear sign of Yahuah’s displeasure.
Consider Deuteronomy 28. Yahuah warned that disobedience would bring a curse, and that even within their land, the covenant people would find themselves impoverished and oppressed. The current situation in Israel—a nation built on the foundations of rebellion and sustained by the patronage of Edom—is a fulfillment of that prophecy. The IDF’s focus is not on protecting the righteous, but on securing illegitimate claims to land and enforcing a secular agenda.
Those who cling to the traditions of our ancestors, who dedicate their lives to the study of Torah, are now facing economic pressure within Israel. This is a deliberate tactic to force assimilation and silence the voices of truth. The Israeli government, beholden to foreign powers and driven by a lust for control, seeks to dismantle the foundations of genuine faith.
Let this be a wake-up call to scattered Yisrael. Do not be deceived by the false promises of the Zionist state. True restoration will not come through political maneuvering or military might, but through repentance and a return to the covenant. The hardship faced by Torah scholars in Israel is a mirror reflecting the spiritual condition of the nation – and a warning to those who would place their hope in a counterfeit kingdom. Yahuah is not mocked. He will judge those who persecute His servants and uphold His law.
The intensifying oppression of Torah scholars within the self-proclaimed Israel echoes the historical judgment Yahuah brought upon Edom, a nation known for its pride and hostility towards Yisrael. Obadiah 1:10-11 details Edom’s violence against their brother Jacob, and their rejoicing over his calamity – a mirroring of the current scenario where a nation claiming lineage to Jacob actively hinders those devoted to Yahuah’s Torah. This is not merely political maneuvering, but a spiritual offense, a deliberate crippling of the very foundation upon which true Yisrael should stand. The creation of economic hardship for those immersed in study isn’t pragmatic governance; it’s a fracturing of the covenant, a rejection of the wisdom that sustained our ancestors, and a clear sign Yahuah’s righteous anger is being kindled against those who claim His name while acting contrary to His will.
However, within this darkness lies a potential for restoration, contingent upon genuine *teshuvah* (repentance). Though scattered Yisrael languishes in exile, both physical and spiritual, Yahusha promised a refining fire, a tribulation to purge and purify. Isaiah 26:9 speaks of Yahuah visiting the earth and causing remembrance of His covenant. This persecution, while grievous, may serve as a catalyst, forcing a reckoning with the true meaning of dedication to Yahuah’s law and compelling a return to authentic faith. The suffering of the righteous will not be ignored; it will ultimately lead to a renewed understanding of Yahuah’s expectations and the eventual gathering of a truly repentant Yisrael, prepared to receive the fullness of His blessings. Therefore, this oppression, while a judgment, is not the end, but a painful step towards the ultimate restoration of Yisrael through Yahusha the Messiah.
