“The International Jew” Study Hour presents:   Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott complete the reading of Chapter 32 from last week “Jewish Supremacy in the Motion Picture World” and move on to  Chapter 33:  “Rule of the Jewish Kehillah Grips New York.”

Tonight’s episode is the first of a series of chapters describing how Jews organized to retain clan solidarity among the huge numbers of immigrant Jews, largely from Russia and Poland, that remained in New York City once they arrived. They  were organized under the New York Kehillah with the help of the American Jewish Committee.

The “Kehillah” has the same meaning as “Kahal,” which was in control in the ghettos of the “old country” and has courts today in NY City and signifies “community,” “assembly” and  government – the Jewish form of government in the dispersion. In reality, the Kehillah is an alliance against the Gentiles.

Among the Jews pictured at right are Louis Marshall (upper right), a founder of the American Jewish Committee ) and Rabbi Judah Leib Magnes (lower left), a founder of the New York Kehillah.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott complete Chapter 15,  Is the Jewish “Kahal” the Modern “Soviet?” 

We learn why TIJ considers  the Soviet under Bolshevism to be the modern equivalent of the ancient Jewish Kahal. The Jewish preference for  living apart and the highly organized social rules and institutions that are designed to bind the community together are still found today in places such as New York City, where special rabbinical courts are allowed to exist. Beth Din of America is one example of such courts. They exist all over the world and supposedly go back to the time of “Moses,” who appointed elders to assist him in judging and governing the community. Illustration at right shows a London Beth Din in the 1920’s.

American Jewish support (sometimes subtle) for Lenin, Trotsky and the Russian Revolution bespeaks of the Jewishness of the Revolution; also three stages of action described for breaking up society point to a “World Program” that aims to turn conquered countries into Jewish states.

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager open the show with some further discussion on The Protocols’  “authenticity” question.  Carolyn offers links to other authors and events in history that point to a consensus of Jewish intent in accord with the documents that make up The Protocols of the Elders of Zion … first published in Russia in 1903. Carolyn argues that whether they were read or entered into the minutes at the First Zionist Congress in 1897, in Basle, Switzerland,  or not makes no difference to their credibility as a real, historical plan to control the political and financial workings of the entire world.  Hadding maintains his position that The Protocols are not only inauthentic, but in some ways misleading.

They then begin Chapter 15,  Is the Jewish “Kahal” the Modern “Soviet”?

KAHAL, an executive board that was chosen to run an autonomous Jewish community. A kahal served as a Jewish community council, or as a decision-making committee of a kehilah. Throughout the history of the Jewish Diaspora, even before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the Jewish community was organized as a self-governing community, running its internal affairs according to its own laws, later codified as halakhah and continuously amended and supplemented by time-bound statutes and legislation known as takanot. … from Yivo Institute
