The Yeshiva World Sarah Palin Dons Star Of David Necklace For NYC Visit. You couldn’t miss it, the big Star of David hanging around Sarah Palin’s neck as she toured the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on Wednesday. NBC New York asked Palin about the significance just as she board her bus outside Fox Newschannel to head off to Boston. “Today is the 44th anniversary of Jerusalem being reunited,” she said. “We want to call attention to that.” The pendant is in every photo she took with fans and supporters and can be seen in every sound-bite captured by television crews.

The event has become a national holiday in Israel, observed this year on June 1 and is marked by state ceremonies, memorial services and parades. (Source: NBC New York) Haym Solomon: The Man Behind the Myth of the Dollar’s Star of David. According to lore, Haym Solomon’s greatest gift to the American Jewish community is found tucked in most people’s wallets. Atop the eagle on the back of the one dollar bill is a field of thirteen stars arranged in the shape of a Star of David. The Numismatic Bibliomania Society recounts one version how the Jewish symbol came to be found on the dollar note. “This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he would like something for his people,” the story claims.

“The Star of David was the result.” Unfortunately, Numismatic Bibliomania Society’s Wayne Homren insists that Solomon’s selfless nod to the Jewish people is “an interesting story, but most likely a tall tale.” Schmooze writer Benjamin Goldberg further debunks the Solomon myth.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength: thou shalt adore him, and serve him, and obey him: thou shalt have no other gods before thee: thou shalt not make unto thee any image or likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters of the earth, to bow thyself unto it, or to worship it: thou shalt not bow down thyself unto, nor adore anything that thine eye beholdeth, or thy imagination conceiveth of; but the Lord thy God only; for the Lord thy God is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, from generation to generation, even upon all that hate him, and showing a multitude of mercies unto them that keep his commandments.

The proper home of Kāliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents.

Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Therefore Kāliya chose Vrindavan as his residence, knowing it was the only place where Garuda could not come. Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kāliya, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, surrendered, promising he would not harass anybody.

In Punjab there were two small states of rulers belonging to this Kaliraman. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The three founders, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers were Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.).[5] Westcott appears to have been the initial driving force behind the establishment of the Golden Dawn.

The Golden Dawn system was based on hierarchy and initiation like the Masonic Lodges; however women were admitted on an equal basis with men. The "Golden Dawn" was the first of three Orders, although all three are often collectively referred to as the "Golden Dawn". The First Order taught esoteric philosophy based on the Hermetic Qabalah and personal development through study and awareness of the four Classical Elements as well as the basics of astrology, tarot divination, and geomancy. The Second or "Inner" Order, the Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis (the Ruby Rose and Cross of Gold), taught proper magic, including scrying, astral travel, and alchemy.

Main, Dexter: The Sacred Stone. 1. In “Civilisation in Britain 2000 B.C.” we stated that those mysterious “Easterners” who came here at some time in the second Millennium before Christ were devotees of a heliolithic cult, or in other words, were sun and stone worshippers. Stone-worship appears to be older than sun-worship, and so will be taken first. 2. Megaliths or great stones are generally considered to have had something to do with stone-worship, and megaliths may be roughly divided into Menhirs, Cromlechs and Circles.

Cromlechs seem to have been designed mainly as “houses” for the dead, and will be considered when we deal with the Cult of the Dead, while Stone Circles were places rather than objects of worship. So we have left for consideration only the Menhirs or Long Stones. (Fig. 1). 3. 4.

Jewish views on astrology. In Hebrew, astrology was called hokmat ha-nissayon, "the wisdom of prognostication", in distinction to hokmat ha-hizzayon (wisdom of star-seeing, or astronomy).

While not a Jewish practice or teaching as such, astrology made its way into the Jewish community, and became especially predominant in some books of Kabbalah. In the Bible[edit] Astrology is not specifically mentioned in the Torah, but there are two commandments which have been used by some authorities as a basis to forbid the practice. "You shall not practice divination or soothsaying. " "When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abhorrent practices of the nations. These commandments are understood by some rabbinic authorities[who?] "And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the raki’a of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for otot (signs), and for mo’adim (seasons), and for yamim (days), and shanim (years)" (Genesis 1:14) Some historians[who?]

Rosicrucianism. Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society said[1] to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm. "[2] Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross. Between 1607 and 1616, two anonymous manifestos were published, first in Germany and later throughout Europe.[3] These were the Fama Fraternitatis RC (The Fame of the Brotherhood of RC) and the Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of RC).

The influence of these documents, presenting a "most laudable Order" of mystic-philosopher-doctors and promoting a "Universal Reformation of Mankind", gave rise to an enthusiasm called by its historian Dame Frances Yates the "Rosicrucian Enlightenment".[4] Origins[edit] Reception[edit] Some[who?] The Rosicrucian Enlightenment[edit] Modern groups[edit] The Passage of Change - What is Happening and What is Going to Happen?
