What does god say about the fringe?
Posted on | September 17, 2010 | 6 Comments
Yesterday Jon Stewart announced a rally against the fringe. An article on AOL lists me and James Carville as fringe on both sides.
This got me thinking. Today is a special day of the year. In a Jewish calendar it’s called Yom Kipur. It is a day of atonement, it is a day when the Gates of Heaven are open for you to address god and for god to hear you.
What is a fringe? In Hebrew it is called Tzizit. God told Moses to cut fringes on his garment, to add blue thread. God told Moses to tell the children of Israel to do the same generation after generation, and to use those fringes as a reminder of his commendments, to remember him as their god, who brought them out of bondage in Egypt.
Think about it. When Moses told his people to leave their homes, to leave their belongings, to risk prison or possible death in the hands of an Egyptian pharaoh, to wonder in the desert, to expect the Red Sea to part in order for them to escape bondage, and reach the land of milk and honey, many considered Moses to be a fringe , a “Meshugeneh”, a crazy man. But today’s fringe is tomorrow’s leader, and Moses lead his people out of bondage.
Susan B. Anthony was considered a fringe. In those years voting rights for women were considered to be ideas of the fringe.
When Golda Meir left her home to build a new country, she was considered a fringe.
Typicaly, the fringe in the society sticks out as a Tzizit on a garment. Why do people on the fringe stick their neck out, why are they ahead of the wave? There are a number of reasons, a number of explanations.
Old testament has typically several layers of meaning, of understanding. For example, another meaning for Tzitziot, those fringes on the clothes, is, that those are a form of reception. It is easy to explain by using a radio as an example. What do you need for a radio? You need an antenna. For different radio waves, for different electro-magnetic waves, you need different antennas. It is believed that Tzitzit, this fringe on the garment, is a form of reception. Now, only men are supposed to wear clothe with those fringes, not women. Why? An explanation is, that women have a natural way of tuning in, absorbing this cosmic energy, called the word of god. Some call it women’s intuition, the sixth sense.
It is interesting, that in this second American revolution you see women in the forefront. Sometimes consciously, sometimes intuitively they lead.
Today we live in bondage. We are in intellectual bondage with corrupt regime propaganda media, which does not report the truth. We are sinking deeper and deeper in the mortar of intellectual, societal and financial bondage, but trust the people, who are your conscience, who are the fringe today. They will be your leaders tomorrow.
Please, tune in to god’s word and god’s energy. Until 7:30 in the evening is Yom Kipur, it is the time, when it is said that the Gates of Heaven are open for you to have a dialog with god. You have it within you. You have an ability to brainstorm ideas, to figure how to get out of bondage. I firmly believe, that collective intelligence and collective conscience will help us brake the chains of bondage. Follow the fringe of your conscience.

Dear Dr. Orly-Thank you for the explanation of Judaism, we Roman Catholics really appreciate it. I did not know about the meaning of fringe, that was so interesting. A couple of weeks ago at the Mass the Gospel was about God and Moses. God was upset he kept calling the Israelites (symbolically all of us) a stiff-necked people (hard headed) every time God and Moses turned around twice, worshipping the golden idols (again). I think God is trying to remind human kind-he should be first in our hearts, our lives-not a phony messiah like Obama (Obama the golden calf ?-he can’t even do that right). The first two commandments refer to God-I am the Lord, thy God-thou shalt have no strange gods before me.(messiahs, unConstitutional governments, etc.) Thou shalt NOT take the name of the Lord thy God in vain (oaths taken but not lived up to-lying to God not too smart).
Obama has been beyond Meshuggeneh for a very long time.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert crack me up. Your interview with Stephen was so much fun.

Wow, you have captured the attack word “fringe” and transformed it into a whole new concept. Great article. Sort of verbal karate, turning the opponent on their head with their own words! Proud to be Fringe!
As for Stewart and Colbert, they mock Glen Beck very well, but seem to have trouble grasping deeper realities.
