Judaism teaches an obligation to ally with the poor

Rabbi-

There is a fine line between wealth and taxes. I'm not Paul Krugman, but I know more than he does, when it comes to money. the more money I make, the more money I have to use at my discretion for "good works."

I know that my money doesn't go into a rat-hole, "cash for flunker" program or pardon the pun, a non-performing "pork" program.

Rabbi, there are a number of us, who believe that the money that we earn is ours to give, not someone elses.

I am often reminded of the scene in Joseph Stein's "Fiddler on the Roof" with the song, "Tradition:"

(Tevye) "And Nahum, the beggar..."

(Beggar) "Alms for the poor, alms for the poor..."

(Lazar Wolfe) "Here, Reb Nahum, is one kopek."

(Beggar) "One kopek? Last week you geve me two kopeks."

(Lazar Wolfe) "I had a bad week."

(Beggar) "So, if you had a bad week, why should I suffer?"

Rabbi, we give, both financially and emotionally. However, it is far more effective to teach a man to fish, than to continually providing free meals.

Rabbi, I know what it is like, to live like Job. I started out in college, living out of my car and working full-time, while others, mooched off the system. They received dorm rooms, food and an education for free, while I paid full freight. I know from hard experience what poor actually is and exucse me, but I know how to use my money, far more effectively and better than a government or government sponsored entity.

Why doesnt the Rabbi just issue this famous quote:

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need - from the Book of Marx.

The Creator of the universe King of Kings did not create those human dangers to others--greed, murder, Princes who fly to Egypt and Dubai every week to play with little boys in hotels, public beheadings of gays, Jew killing, public stonings--that some individuals (hundreds of millions) feel is their special provenance. Sorry to say....

It would be a step up for you if you were able to make an ass of yourself kingofkings--you are already far less than that. The world would be a much better place without haters such as you, sorry to say. Many more people would be alive, fewer would be permanently injured, and the human mind would develop more quickly.

The question asked earlier was to the rabbi. When was Farnazmansouri designated the pope of judaism?
When you ASSume things, FarnazMansouri, you make an ASS out of yourself - that is, you assume what my reigion is without my disclosing it.
I'm sorry to say that the world would be a better place without the hateful rhetoric exhibited by some individuals who believe they are entitled to special privileges from the Creator of the universes.

As the tax cuts show, the sins of the christians against the poor are authorized in their "New Testament" (sic) with rendering unto Caesar that which is his due. What the Christians failed to see is that NOTHING is due Caesar.

Now that the Christians have become Caesar, perhaps, other Christians see the problem. (The rest of us do.).

See Psalm 23, Hosea 2:19--chesed

Rabbi, You must forgive bloggers like Mr. Meaner (scroll down, who come from a rather different (Christian) tradition. As you can see from the tax cuts, they do not believe their commitment to the poor extends beyond taking from them everything they have left. Steal, extort from others--It is in their "New Testament" (sic):

Acts 5:1-11

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”

“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”

9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Rabbi, does your faith also teach you that you shouldn't rent to the poor?

His religion does not teach that selling land to a Jews will garner the death penalty. Kingofking's does/

His religion does not glory in mass murder--Banu Quorayza. His religion does not call Christians and Jews pigs.

His religion teaches the barbarity of Hebron(August 1929), Jerusalem (February 1948), and Kfar Etzion (May 1948), etc.

It teaches that adult men should not shoot nine-year-old Jewish girls in the head at point blank range, and that the murderer should not be given a hero's welcome in his native country.

It teaches that men should not place bombs on seven busloads of school children and murder them.

It teaches that little boys should not be lured to caves, slaughtered, and that the little boys' remains should not be pasted on the walls of caves.

It teaches that the University of Yerushalayem should not be blown up killing hundreds of Jews and Muslims.

It teaches that Jews (and everyone else) should not be exiled, deported, murdered, in their homelands throughout the Middle East leaving three million in exile.

It teaches that beloved family friends should not be dragged from a house and murdered by the IRG in front of a nine-year-old girl (me) who beats the IRG with her fists as Ismael's blood spatters on her clothes.
-------------------------
These are all things that the rabbi's religion condemns. They are thing's that Kingofking's religion applauds.

Rabbi, does your faith also teach you that you shouldn't rent to the poor?

This has to be the worst "Bible lesson" I've ever read.
Every reference you cite is taken completely out of context, and in most cases absolutely refute the point you are trying to make.
If you were to finish the thought in Deut. Ch.8, you would find that God tells Israel to appreciate the fact that their wealth is the result of his blessings.
So, you take this to mean that God's blessings need to be confiscated, and redistributed?
How odd.

Is. 1:17
"[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."

You should go on to read why it is that the oppressed need relief, and the widows are neglected

1:23
"Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards.

That seems to point the finger at government, not the rich.

Jer. Ch 5 blames government/religious leaders who use false prophets to promote a specific government agenda, claiming it to be the word of the LORD.
The "state-sponsored" official government prophets of Judah kept promising the people that good times were ahead, and all was well, while God, through Jeremiah, said they were going to be taken captive by the Babylonians.
I think we all know how that one turned out.

Is. Ch. 5
Context is everything.

"woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the earth!"

There is a deeper meaning than can be discussed here, but the house to house, and field to field are explained in the prior verses, and chapters as being symbolic of the houses of the wicked and the houses of HIS people, the fields being a reference to the choice vine, and the wild grapes.
My guess is that you're probably wrong about the deeper meaning behind that passage, if you're even aware of one.

Micah 2:2 ?...Seriously?

THIS WOE IS DIRECTED TOWARD YOU!

[1] Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
[2] And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
[3] Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.

You are definitely from the evil fig basket
