The Beauty of Every Day

Today is the yahrzeit (deathday?) of Reb Shlomo Carlebach, Zechuso Yagein Aleinu. Shlomo is and should be a inspiration to all good Jewboys and Jewgirls. So please, sing an extra song at Kabbalat Shabbat tonight, and learn a little more Chassidishe Torah. Secondly, we recieved a greater endorsement than we could give ourselves on the livejournal of the soon to be legendary Aaron Van Praag. He said:

It is a blog I have not entirely read yet as of this writing. But so far, I have not found anything with which on principle I must disagree, and a lot with which I can agree in part, if not necessarily and entirely in whole.

That echoes the thoughts of B"ZAYON about B"ZAYON almost exactly! Please give this good man some traffic!
To all of the Children of Israel, a far-out Sabbath!

Spread the Word!

There is soon to be a B'ZAYON circular, to be entitled the Kol Shmuel, or Voice of Samuel.

Segments will be available on the inter-web, beginning with this selection from the article "Samuelism: Revising Zion":

Samuelism does not purport to be a corporally revolutionary movement, though it does aspire to be one. Samuelism preaches that Thoreau’s description of Captain John Brown, in A Plea for Captain John Brown- “This man was an exception, for he did not set up even a political graven image between him and his God.”- ought to be applicable to all people. The essential goal of Samuelism is to bring about a change in consciousness whereby the need for revolution will be gone- the revolution will already have happened.

Samuelism is, of course, for those not in the know, a biblical form of Anarcho-Zionism.
A fellow fighter in this field has been found here- Please read his articles- they will be considered in years to come important early texts of the Samuelist movement!

A Holy Sin

It is said that anger is the greatest sin. But anger can accomplish great things. It seems to us that the concept of sin is blurry. So, we admit to a holy sin here- we are more angry than we have been in a very long time. There are things going on in this world that make us furious. But we must learn from the words of Sinai Tor SHLITA:

Question: Why did they destroy your house? Did they say it doesn't have building permits?

Sinai Tor: I don't know. They said it's not legal. But I think every one of their laws are not legal. Because we have the law of Hashem. He said to us that this is our land, that He gave it to us because of our fathers and mothers. This is what we believe. And all the laws and things they do to keep us far away from the land, those are the things we do not believe. They are nothing to us. They are like smoke.

The Law of Hashem is our only Law! Shabbat Shalom to all of Jah's Children.

Well...

Obama won. Good luck to him. To paraphrase the Spiritual Advisor of B'ZAYON: All is the will of God. May Jah be with us even more for four years. Amen.

Shas On!

We beg forgiveness from the party of HaRav Ovadiah Yosef- they didn't sell the Jewish people out by joining the Axis of Evil. Chazak U'Baruch.

Better late than never...

We didn't have time to share this torah before Shabbos, but we will share it now- this comes from the Me'eil Shmuel (Coat of Samuel), one of the only anarchist commentaries on the holy Bible.

The heilege Me'eil Shmuel brings our attention to the bizarre passage in Genesis 6 (this/last week's parsha, Bereshit) in which the "Sons of God" get really into the "daughters of man". Unlike all the wackos who read these verses as referring to aliens, or "fallen angels", the Ibn Ezra reads it as referring to the "sons of the judges" i.e. the power structure - Leviathan. The Me'eil Shmuel teaches us that these verses show us the first instances of abuse of power - and that they quickly creep into any power structure. A good week to all, and may Jah's blessings be upon you.

The Day of Atonements

We at B'ZAYON hope that you have all been atoned, and are thus in the correct state of mind to revolutionize. Jah be with you.
