[Ultimately,] all the deeds of Jesus of Nazareth and that Ishmaelite [i.e. Mohammed] who arose after him will only serve to pave the way for the coming of Moshiach and for the improvement of the entire world, [motivating the nations] to serve G-d together, as it is written  [Zephaniah 3:9] , "I will make the peoples pure of speech so that they will all call upon the Name of G-d and serve Him with one purpose." PUBLISHER'S FOREWORD Since the time of the Rambam (1135-1204), it has been impossible to discuss the subject of Moshiach and the Era of the Redemption without direct reference to the last two chapters of his monumental halachic code, the  Mishneh Torah .

An interesting, complex, convoluted, contradictory, postmodern feminist take on the explicit Commandment in Devarim 17:14 to Appoint a King. It seems that most of the Rabbis in the Galut want to reamin in the Galut and to keep their flock in the Galut, or to bring their Torah Empires here and pretend that this is The Kingdom, and whoever their favorite Rabbi is is The King. There's a specific process for all this, and it's not complicated. But you might not understand this after listening to these three lectures and polemical arguments against the King. Listen carefully and take notes. Follow the "logic" and ask yourself if it encourages or discourages you to perform Mitzvoth #497 as listed in Sefer HaMitzvoth (#591 in Mishne Torah)  Rabbi Yisroel Chaim Blumenthal – Jews for Judaism

Oylem Goylem  (the masses are asses)  The criticism of democracy refers to democracy as a system that is always shown in the best light in theoretical writings.  In these theoretical writings, it is claimed that this system, if properly implemented in the manner intended by its originators, will guarantee "Liberty Equality Fraternity" to everyone.  Today, there are similar slogans such as "Diversity Equity Inclusion" (DEI) or "Environmental, Social, Governance" (ESG), also claiming to be protecting democracy.  We are not discussing the many accidents that have left their mark on the idea of democracy during its course of implementation, here and in other places in the world.  The shortcomings mentioned in these pages do not refer to the distortions or perversions of democracy, which came about because of various utilitarian reasons or because of vested interests that influenced its implementation.  They do not refer to cases where democracy is invoked in v
