    My question is, when did Jews became matrilineal? This is not very clear. That is not a feature I associate with Abrahamic religions or the Middle East. That is a feature I associate with Africans, for example the Seereer people of Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania, and Guinea-Bissau - who have multiple maternal clans but all stemming from 3 main proto-Seereer matriclans; the Asante people of Ghana; etc. So, I have lots of questions: When did Jews became matrilineal? How many matriclans do they have? What are the names of these matriclans? What is/are the proto-Jewish matriclans? Why and when did they became matrilineal? The Seereer (or Serer) people have an answer for each of these question, but I've never really understood the Jewish position because this practice is not something I associate with the Middle East or Abrahamic faiths, which are patrilineal. In fact, it was only few years ago that I realised that Jews are matrineally, which really shocked me because as a Seereer, and a devout practitioner of Seereer spirituality (A fat Roog), that's not the type of thing I associate with the Abrahamic religions. In fact, the Abrahamic religions (namely Islam and Christianity, but Islam in particular) have spent centuries demonising and persecuting my people for it amongst other things, yet, the parent Abrahamic faith (Judaism), actually practice matrilineality! No one (Jew or otherwise) has ever been able to explain this to me.

    The pronunciation "F-EYE LOW" does not make sense because the letter "i" was universally pronounced "ee" until the GVS "great vowel shift" in England in the 1600's that saw the transformation of the "ee" pronunciation to "eye" for the letter "i". Prior to the 1600's the letter "i" was not pronounced like "eye" in any language anywhere. The "eye" pronunciation originated in the 1600's in England. Not before. The correct pronunciation is most definitely "F-eelo" like the word "feel"

    You've demonstrated in this video the 'ability' for analysis... where you inquire into what different sides think... so that shows me that you're choosing not to analyse the Ukrainian conflict- rather doing the 'hooray for ukraine' routine ... out of fear from government.

You want to bring back the good old days of jim crow". Now the left wants me to believe that "from the river to the sea" is complex and requires nuance to understand, and it's certainly not calling for genocide.

    8:30 "Israel is already free, Israel is a democratic state... Gaza has been separated from Israel" Gaza does not own its airspace, it's ground, or any of it's borders. So yeah Israel is free if you don't consider the occupation and it's not an ethnostate if you don't talk about the utilization of ethnic supremacy. This is unfortunate you're saying this, because I've appreciated some of your other content. But Zionism is not Judaism, please stop trying to confuse people. I'm Jewish, over 40, and after watching this video I'm still proud to say (with enthusiasm) "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!"

    Correction. It was Lithuanian Grand Dutchy, biggest country at 14th century in Europe and it was that time that jews were invited and settled in Lithuania rather than Poland. Seven hundred years ago the Lithuanian grand duke Gediminas sent letters inviting Jews to come settle in Lithuania and contribute to the creation of the state. So later, Commonwealth is really just a follow-on diaspora within region to earlier settlement and is backwards looking at region and jew migration. Western historians do fail to pick up this fact and often conflate Lithuania with Poland, Lithuania with Latvia as Baltic states or even as Easter Europe, where technically Lithuania is not even East. Very poor poor review indeed.

    We all should welcome all that come in the name of the Lord or face missing him. I think he was not a false Messiah, perhaps a fallen one. Most of these characters in either a philosophical, Mystical or otherwise have a portion of good will, pure intent and desire to do something good for the jewish People but felt short along the path. I blame the works of the devil which is the Kabala and any other esoteric pseudoscience as the Zohar. My own grandpa went nut by studying or reading the depths of hell or eating too many sour grapes. On the other hand, to have a mental disorder is not a disqualifier per say. Most true prophets have been branded as crazy. They have been depressed and vexed by their burden. It comes with the territory. AndI don’t know if such a construct of pretenders are in a way marring The visage and moral character of the true Messiah. When he appears he would be unrecognizable. I was born on Juky 22. I am espoused to the principles of righteousness as taught to me ny God and as they are written in the Holy Scriptures and many, including Jews and Gentiles are opposed to me. I have wasted my life and wearied it searching the lost tribes of Israel and I have been very successful identifying them but few truly care to actually help me gather. Them. And I don’t come in a horse, but in the Ass or Donkey of Issachar which is one of the first tribes God lead me to discover. They have not reached back, they don’t care about the lost ten tribes of Israel. They don’t know that without them and their talent we are nothing. They are refusing to be hunters. Fishers and Saviors on mt Zion. All they do is teach history and religious theory and live under a broken law that will not bring them lasting salvation. In fact, I have come to believe and I pray I am mistaken that despite all the talk about the Messiah, they truly don’t want him to appear, because they dear he will put them out of business and overturn the tables of the Money exchangers as The Son of God or Even Jesus The Messiah did. But their whitewashed history that they did not kill the prophets and the very Messiah, contradicts our current social and political conditions, our exile and diasporas. And they are not, the holy people until they make it so, and there is not one righteous among us, no, not one. I also told the Jews in Jerusalem, NY and this Jew here in this podcast included that in order to build the Temple the people must first pay a just tithing for at least one year. Only them they can by their tradition attempt to purify themselves at at least ritually. Or any Jew can fast track that process today by repenting in dust and ashes by offering unto God a broken heart and a contrite spirit. They don’t even know what faith is and how to properly exercise it. Only us the true Cohanim do for certain. The reason why the secular Jews or the Zionist or so called, were able to create the state of a Israel and succeed in establishing it is onky because they had more faith than most Rabbis and religious Jews and they did put like Samson, their shoukder to the wheel. And Blesed are they in life or in death becaue thanks to God and to them, a strong nation was born in one say. Other than that, I defend the Jews ferociously against any attacks and the only attacks they receive from me are concerning false doctrine and incorrect traditions. To be learned as the Rabbis and the sages is good but only if they give heed ro the counsels of God. But if not, it is foolishness. Their Zionist or Secular senhedriine has done more for the Jews than the religious one. As I don’t believe in a theocratic state, I believe in a fully endowed priestly class where every Jew at one point or another in this life or the next will become a king and a priest and a Queen and. a Priestess to rule and reign in the house of Israel forever. There is that potential in everyone of the though not all at the same rime. There are hundreds of millions of lost and disinfranchised Israelites in the world today that need a king and a queen to be their nursing fathers and their nursing mothers. I can point to you today seven or eight lost tribes of Israel that are crying in semi ignorance to be found. And they are as talented as the learned and entrepreneurial jews today but in many other different ways. If you want to know about them, just reach out at malkiyahu@yahoo.com I can point them to you and you all can be a Rabbi in their midst or as the Rebbe insisted and recommended that there should be a certified Rabbi in each family . For the work ahead of each and everyone of us is truly great, but the laborers are few.

    I've been doing a study on redemption in the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures). I would appreciate some insight on the word "goel." Also, most theology teachers overlook or misunderstand the redemption of Israel. The elements contain the redemption of Israel from bondage in Egypt, and Israelites becoming, literally, a nation under the Eternal One. There is also a promise of a future redemption. Many New Testament teachers confuse the promises for Israel with the promises of to the church. A look at these doctrines from a Hebrew perspective would be a great help. Thank you.
