This post is Part 3 of a five-part series on measuring Al Mokha's impact in Yemen. (Links to Part 1 & Part 2)
Author (on right) in Nyarugusu, Tanzania, during a project for the International Rescue Committee
As a development economist with interests that are a little outside the norm, I spend a lot of my day thinking about how to measure unmeasurable things. How prevalent is a certain belief? And how does it affect people's behavior? Can one violent event, or experience, be objectively seen as worse or more violent than another? And if so, what determines that violence—scope, tenor, frequency? How do we fix it?
So, when Anda told me he wanted to start thinking more about impact and measurement at Al Mokha, I jumped up and down with glee. From the moment he and I first talked development and coffee in Cambridge almost a year ago, I'd been questioning, "cool, but how do you measure that?"Read More
This post is Part 2 of a five-part series on measuring Al Mokha's impact in Yemen.
Author conducting research for the IRC in Nyarugusu, Tanzania
In Part I, Anda wrote about the perils of trying to be a salesperson / academic, and how that duality plays out in the business: investors want to see sales growth whereas economists (me!) want to see real, measureable change in things like poverty levels, in coffee production, in anything we can quantify with data.
So we're working towards that. In this post, Part 2, I introduce myself and in parts III- V we tackle some tough questions.
Well, who am I? If you're here frequently you know Anda and you've heard mention of some of his advisors (as he spins tales of sinking all his time into a startup). I'm the nerdy PhD obsessed with data and development. I have a doctoral degree in economics. I spend most of my time reading and writing papers on violence against women and children and female labor force participation. I spend a lot of time thinking about very economist-y things like incentives.Read More
This post is Part I of a five-part series on measuring Al Mokha's impact in Yemen.
Two years ago, I founded a two-pronged enterprise with goals to be a successful coffee retailer and an entity that used our economic engine for the benefit of the people of Yemen. We call ourselves Al Mokha, Public Benefit Corp. and we source and market Yemen's World's First Coffee™.
It has taken me two years to wrap my head around Al Mokha's identity. Was I a coffee company? A development organization for a third world country? The reality is we are both, a startup with two faces; just like the Roman god Janus.
Let me illuminate.
We have two customers. The first is you, the consumer, and our product is our World's First Coffee™. Our second customer is implied, and that's the people of Yemen. If you turn our World's First Coffee™ inside out, our product is life changing jobs. And here we can disappear down an academic rabbit hole.Read More

By Sarah Karush, Associated Press Writer
DERWOOD, Md. Boot-clad feet kick aside tall grass. Heads tilt to peer under logs. A Labrador retriever follows her eager nose through the woods.
Suddenly, a triumphant cry rings out -- "Turtle!" -- and a hand gently scoops up the creature.
A rescue squad of environmentalists, researchers, state employees and contractors is working against the clock to save Eastern box turtles that would otherwise be crushed or buried alive when hundreds of acres of woods in the Washington suburbs are paved over for a major highway, a process that could begin within weeks.
Turtles found on the expeditions are being put on the safe side of a mesh fence.
"It is literally do or die for the box turtles in the first phase" of the highway project, said Susan Hagood, a wildlife expert with the Humane Society of the United States, who searched with her dog, Drew, who was trained by the customs service.
When the 18.8-mile InterCounty Connector, commonly known as the ICC, is finished, it will include a permanent fence, along with culverts to allow turtles to cross the road safely to make use of all their old haunts on both sides of the road. Larger passages will accommodate wildlife of all sizes.
Concern about roadkill has led to the proliferation of such "critter crossings," as the Federal Highway Administration calls them, over and under roads around the country.
But relocating wildlife in the path of road construction is a new idea in Maryland and rare throughout the country. Last year, Florida began requiring the relocation of gopher tortoises before any new construction project begins.
The need for relocating turtles is simple. Unlike many other animals, they "can't get out of the way of bulldozers," Hagood said.
While, it's unclear exactly when those bulldozers are coming, the rescuers have to act now because the turtles soon will burrow into the topsoil for the winter. Once that happens, not even the best canine nose or the sharpest human eye will be able to find them.
Eastern box turtles can grow up to 8 inches long under their pretty, patterned shells and are found up and down the East Coast and as far west as Texas. Many biologists fear their numbers will soon dwindle because of modern dangers.
The turtles are slow to reproduce, and animals that thrive in the suburbs -- such as raccoons, skunks and opossums -- like to snack on turtle hatchlings and eggs. Encounters with cars and lawnmowers are deadly.
The ICC -- envisioned by regional planners since the 1950s and championed as a vital link among the population and job centers of Montgomery and Prince George's counties -- has raised the ire of environmentalists, who fear traffic from the road will diminish air quality and who lament the destruction of hundreds of acres of forest.
Bill Schultz, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who pushed for the ICC turtle relocation, said he knew of no similar efforts anywhere and had some hesitation about advocating a project that focused solely on one species.
"This is a big commitment by state highway," he said. "They've really stepped up."
Turtle relocation is included in the lump sums of the design-build contracts for the ICC, but is estimated to cost several hundred thousand dollars, said ICC spokeswoman Fran Counihan. In addition, the state is paying about $300,000 for a three-year study by Towson University in Towson, Md.
The study will focus on how well relocated turtles adapt and whether the fence is effective in keeping them out. Ninety-four turtles have been outfitted with transmitters, allowing the researchers to track their location.
Officials hope the study will answer the question, "Is this worth spending the public's money to do?" said Rob Shreve, an environmental manager at the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Doubts about lib case f220
Lib case is a good case computing flow field in stirred tank with CCM\MBFGM. But it seems to me that the result flow field is not quite right and the velocity gap between two blocks is significant. Does it mean that CCM is not suitable for sliding grid simulation?Please recommend the suitable solution algorithm when using sliding grid\mesh.

(David Jenkins/Standard Democrat)
Now they will see if they can hold serve.
Third-seeded Sikeston (6-3) will host No. 6 Festus (5-4) Friday night at 7:00 at Sikeston Public Schools Stadium in the first round of district play.
(David Jenkins/Standard Democrat)
Sikeston responded by defeating New Madrid County Central (54-6) and the state-ranked Park Hills Central squad 54-30.
Sikeston coach Kent Gibbs, who has now guided the Bulldogs to eight straight winning seasons, said he hopes his team can continue the momentum tomorrow night.
"It's a double-edged sword now, you not only want to play well at home but you want to play so your seniors can keep playing," Gibbs said. "It was big for us, big for our program, big for our seniors and our whole staff to be honest about it to be able to play another home game. After that we'll see how it takes us, but one thing I know is you have to win to keep playing."
Sikeston will be playing a Festus team that is riding a two-game losing streak after falling to St. Francis Borgia 34-7 and then last week to Poplar Bluff, 42-13.
Festus won its first two games to start the season by defeating Vashon 29-26 and Sullivan 16-12. They followed that with back-to-back losses to North County (31-21) and a last-second loss to Hillsboro (22-20).
The Tigers got back on track by beating De Soto (56-42), Windsor (70-49) and Pacific (43-20).
"They're a solid football team," Gibbs said. "They got beat late by two good football teams. They had Hillsboro down 20-0 at one time and got beat 22-20 and missed a game-winning field goal, if you will. We'll have to play a good game if we want to advance, there's no doubt about it."
Festus averages 30.6 points per game and allows 30.9 points per game.
The Tigers operate a ground-based offense while utilizing play-action to open up passing lanes.
"They run a Wing-T offense," Gibbs said. "They run motion, a lot of misdirection type stuff. Obviously it's an assignment type thing again that we'll have to do on defense. They have a really good receiver that we can't let loose on us and make plays. The quarterback's a young kid but he's a runner and he can hurt you if he gets loose."
Festus' quarterback is Justice Johnson, a 5-foot-9, 160-pound sophomore. He has thrown for 765 yards, completing 48 of 101 passes (47 percent) with six touchdowns and three interceptions. He has 135 yards rushing on 41 carries.
The Tigers' top ground-gainer is Tyler Sexton, a 6-2, 215-pound senior. Sexton leads the team with 960 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns, averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
Jordan Fiedler (58 carries, 240 yards, 4 touchdowns) and Braden Cox (21-221) are second and third in rushing on the team.
The top receiving target on the team is 6-2, 205-pound senior receiver Elijah Richeson, who has 20 catches for 408 yards and four touchdowns.
One area of concern for Gibbs is his team's struggles against the pass this season. While the Bulldogs are very stout against the run, allowing just 106.4 yards per game and 2.8 yards per carry, teams have had substantial success through the air. Sikeston allows 192 passing yards per game.
Festus is predominantly a run team, but have shown big-play capabilities throwing the football.
"People are going to do different things against us to combat what we do well, we understand that," Gibbs said. "We've just got to play the ball a little bit more. We stand and watch or we let an assignment break down and let a kid run across the field free so it's a matter of taking care of our assignments on defense. We can't give them the big play because they're going to grind and grind and grind and use the clock and then lull you to sleep a little bit and then hit a pass to No. 10 (Richeson) over the top with some of their bootleg action. Hopefully we can limit their run game and not give up the big play with the pass."
Festus also has a strong-legged kicker in Chase Cole, who has booted three field goals this season.
"They're solid in special teams. They've got a real good field goal kicker that can kick it from about anywhere," Gibbs said.
Sikeston averages 33.3 points per game and allows an average of 19.8 points per game.
The Bulldogs have gotten a boost with the return of senior running back Justus Faulkner, who has 750 yards rushing in the last three games that he has played. He missed three games with mononucleosis, but still has 995 yards rushing on the season and 12 touchdowns.
But Faulkner hasn't been the lone contributor.
Senior Dre Johnson has thrown for 673 yards, completing 43 of 111 passes (39 percent) with six touchdowns and four interceptions. He's also rushed for 498 yards with six touchdowns.
Senior Phayzun Fobbs follows up with 304 yards rushing and two touchdowns with a team-leading 21 receptions for 249 yards and two scores.
Sophomore receiver Ricky Scott has 13 catches for a team-leading 327 yards and three touchdowns.
Gibbs says that line play will be crucial against an aggressive, blitzing Festus defense.
"Defensively they give a lot of different looks and a lot of different stunts with linebackers," Gibbs said. "We'll have to be sharp up front and have to take care of things. We're getting solid play across the board and I know all the signs point to Justus because he's back and certainly he's a big boost to us, but we're doing some other things. Dre's doing a really good job of directing things and carrying the ball when he needs to. He's done a good job in the passing game and we're certainly going to have to throw the ball some against these guys. Ricky's made some big catches and Phayzun has made some big catches. Offense is so much of a rhythm and to do that you have to have your pieces for a while and hopefully we'll continue to improve in both passing and running."
Sikeston's defense is led by senior nose tackle Josh Stinnett with 85 tackles and 22 tackles for a loss.
Jason Moore follows up with 69 tackles. Keshawn Ellis and Jeland Allen each have 63 tackles.
NOTES -- Friday will mark just the second meeting ever between Sikeston and Festus. The two first met in a Polio Bowl game held at Charleston High School in 1949 in front of a crowd of 4,500. Fundraising bowl games in those days were common prior to the advent of the MSHSAA playoff system that was implemented in 1968. Sikeston beat the previously undefeated Festus squad 14-0 to complete a 10-0 undefeated season for legendary coach Kenneth Knox, running its streak of unbeaten to 19 straight. In four years at Sikeston, Knox never lost a game, finishing with a record of 35-0-2.
Knox eventually left Sikeston to become head coach and director of athletics at Southeast Missouri State University from 1952-1967 in which he was one of the inaugural inductees in the SEMO Athletics Hall of Fame following his retirement. At SEMO, Knox's teams won six Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships, the most ever by any coach at the school. His 1955 team was undefeated and untied, which is still the only time a SEMO team has ever accomplished the feat.

2 Published by CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST CRUSADE P. O. Box Los Angeles 27, California First English translation to be published in the U. S. A. THE JEWS AND THEfflUES Date of Publication: May, 1948 Attention, Reader: This bqok is not published for sectarian purposes. The publishers, as indicated above, are also publishing the edicts of more than 20 popes who dealt with the Jewish problem. Their edicts are as strong as anytiiing contained in this work by Dr. Martin Luther.
3 I N T R O D U O T I O N DR. MABTIN LUTHER In preparing to read this book you are about to view some of the most sensational and thought-arresting language ever to be put in print. The publishers of this treatise by Dr. Martin Luther, the pioneer of Protestantism, do not necessarily present this work as an apcurate expression of their opinion. The chief reason for its publication is to give the reader an accurate translation of Luther's treatment of one of the most delicate and dangerous subjects for a public man to discuss the Jews. This translation is not presented as a sectarian work or a partisan treatise. When we set out to find the book in its original language and when we proceeded to have it translated, we were shocked and amazed at the interference we encountered from a wide variety of sources. Two different translators were made the victims of intimidation, and only after a rather dramatic experience were we able to complete its translation in spite of its brevity. In effecting the translation of this work we l)ecame increasingly convinced that a well organized plot to Iceep this book hidden exists.
4 Luther's experience with the Jews was very disappointing. He spent many years trying to convert them. Like St. Paul, he gave the Jews the first chance at the gospel, but concluded in later years, as the reader will soon see, that his efforts in this direction were futile. This book is published only in the interest of accuracy. If it falls into the hands of a highly technical student of the 16th Century German, the Publishers will appreciate any correction which might improve the next edition of this work. The demand for this little book is so great that we expect it to go into numerous editions. "We find among sincere Christian people a deep resentment over the fact that the work of one as prominent as Martin Luther has been kept so scientifically and so deliberately away from the eyes of his millions of admirers. Some of Dr. Luther's language will shock the reader, but it is our business to give to you the words of the Reformer just as he wrote them, and not on the basis of our agreement or disagreement. Regardless of any other purpose that this translation may serve, it will serve one fundamental purpose; namely, this generation is not the first gener- ation which has faced a Jewish problem. Yes, it will serve a second purpose; namely, an alertness to the Jewish problem does not necessarily indicate that the individuals who are alerted are depraved or un-christian. The Publishers. Note: The readers of this work are warned not to conclude that the Luther viewpoint concerning the Jews is necessarily Protestant. Numerous Popes used language as strong, if not stronger, than the language used by Dr. Luther. In fact, the ghettos were established by Papal edict, and the segregation of Christian communities from Jewish communities originated in edicts coming out of Rome. The purpose of this note is to warn the readers that the problem has never been uniquely Protestant or Catholic or in any way sectarian. Men of all faiths have agreed with Luther and men of all faiths have disagreed with Luther. Attention, Doubters: Some individuals will doubt that these writings originated with Martin Luther. For the information of the reader the original language may be found in Martin Luther's works in the Congressional Library, Washington, D.C., and in any 4
5 one of several accredited Lutheran seminaries. Numerous clergymen of all denominations are aware of the existence of this work. They are also aware of the fact that this is the first English translation to be published in the United States so far as we are able to ascertain. Note: This published work by Luther was among the last of his writings. Luther, it will be recalled, died in the prime of life, having lived only to the age of 63. THE JEWS AND THEIR UES
6 lllltllmiiimi IlllllllllllllllltlllHIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIMIIIIIIillllll I had decided not to write anymore, neither of the Jews, nor against the Jews. Because I have learned, however that those miserable, wicked people do not cease trying to win over to themselves us, that is, the Christians also, I have permitted this booklet to go forth that I mij;ht be found among those who have resisted such poisonous undertaking of the Jews, and have warned the Christians to be on their guard against them. I would not have thought that a Christian would permit himself to be fooled by the Jews to share their exile and misery. But the Devil is the God of the world, and where God's word is not, he has easy sailing, not onl.y among the weak, but also among the strong. God help us. Amen. MARTIN LUTHER. IIMIIIIIIMMIIIItllllMHIIItlltl MtlllllllllllllllllMtlirilllMilMMIIIItllllllllltllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Grace and Peace in the Lord! Dear Sir and Good Friend: I have received a treatise of a Jew carrying on a conversation with a Christian in which the Jew has the audacity to pervert and misconstrue the passages of Scripture (which we use for our faith, of our Lord Christ, and of Mary, His mother) whereby he means to overthrow the foundation of our faith. To this I give to you and to him this answer. It is ^ot my intention to quarrel with the Jews or to learn from them how they interpret and undei-- stand the Scriptures. I have known all that before. Much less do 1 intend to convert the Jews. For that is impossible. Nor does it do any good among the Jews everywhere, and they have generally become worse. Also, because they became so hardened to visitations that they do not want to become conscious of the terrible dilemma, that they have now been in exile for over fourteen hundred years, and cannot yet see an end or a definite time (of relief) through fervent, eternal crying and screaming to God (as they sup-
7 pose). (I say) If visitations do not help, we might as well figure that our talking and interpreting will help much less. NO USE TO QUARREL Therefore, a Christian should be satisfied and not quarrel with the Jews. But if you think you must or desire to talk with them, do not say more than this: '' Do you hear, Jew, do you know that your principality together with the temple and priesthood are destroyed now for 1460 years? For this year, as we Christians write after the birth of Christ 1543, it is exactly 1469 years, and is thus going on 1500 years since Vespasianus and Titus destroyed Jerusalem and expelled the Jews from it." On this little nut let the Jews bite and dispute among themselves as long as they want to. For such terrible wrath of God is sufficient proof that they certaintly must be in error and doing wrong; even a child can grasp that. For no one should think of God so terrible that He would punish his own nation so unmercifully and keep silent by neither comforting words nor indicating the duration or end of such misery! Who would want to believe in such a God, hope in Him, or trust in Himt Therefore, 10- this wrath leads to the conclusion that the Jews are certainly rejected by God and are not His people anymore, and He also is not their God anymore; according to the passage, Hosea 1:9 "Lo, Ammi: You are not my people, so also am I not your God." Yea, they are in a terrible dilemma. Whatever interpretation they may place on it, we see the thing before our eyes, it does not deceive us. VICTIMS OF THE WRATH OF GOD And wherever there should be a spark of sense and reason in them, they would certainly think to themselves thus: "0 Lord God, things are not right with us, our misery is too great, our exile too long and too hard, God has forgotten us," etc. I, of course, am not a Jew, but I seriously do not like to think about such terrible wrath of God over this nation. I shudder so much that it penetrates my body and life. What will be the eternal wrath of God in hell over all false Christians and unbelievers? Well, the Jews may regard our Lord Jesus Christ as whatever they desire; we see the fulfillment of Luke 21:20-23: "When ye shall see Jerusalem com^ passed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh for these le the days of vengeance. 11
8 that all things which are written may te fulfilled." [King James Version, Chapter 21:20, 22]. In short, as was said: Do not dispute much with the Jews about the articles of our faith. Prom childhood they have been brought up with poison and hatred against o)xr Lord, that there is no hope until they arrive at the point where through their misery they become soft and compelled to confess that the MessiaJb has come and is our Lord Jesus Christ. Otherwise it is altogether too soon, yea, altogether in vain to dispute with them... In order to strengthen our faith, we shall consider a few ipstances of foolishness in their faith and interpretation of the Scriptures, because they slander our faith in such a mean way. Should it bring about the improvement of a Jew, that he become ashamed, so much the better! We are not talking with the Jews, but of the Jews and their deeds, which our German people well know. They hold one principle on which they depend and in which they trust so much. That is, they are born of the highest people on earth, of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, etc. We (Qoyim) heathen are not human beings in their sight, but hardly worthy to be regarded as worms. For we are not of that high, noble blood, birth and descent. 12 This is their argument, and in my opinion <he foremost and strongest. Therefore, Qod must suffer them in their schools, prayers, songs, doctrine and entire life; there they stand before Him and pester Him (that I may speak of God in such human manner). He must hear how they exalt themselves and praise God for separating them from the heathen, and permitting them to be bom of the holy fathers and chosen them for His own, holy nation, etc. And there is no end of boasting about blood and bodily birth of the fathers. THEm SELF-BIOHTEOUS BOASTZNO In order that their raving, frantic and foolish nonsense might be perfect, they praise and thank Qod, first, that they are human beings and not animals ; secondly, that they are Israelites and not Goyim (heathen); thirdly, that they were created as Men and not as Women. Such foolishness they do not have from Israel, but from the Goyim. For thus the historians write that the Greek Plato daily gave such praise and thanks to God, if such blasphemy and haughtiness could be called the praise of God. For that man also praised his gods for these three things, that he was man and not animal, a man and not a woman, a Greek and not a non-greek of barbarus. Such is the 13
9 praying of a fool and the praise of a blasphemous barbarus; just as the Mais imagine that they alone are human beings and all the rest of the world nothing but inhuman beings, ducks, or mice. Well, no one can deprive them of their boasting about blood and the tribe of Israel. In the Old Testament they lost many a battle on that account. (No Jew understands this.) All prophets have chided them because of it, for it is a proud, carnal assumption without spirit and faith; but they have also been murdered and persecuted because of it. CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL Our Lord also calls them "Vipers." In John 8:39: "If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the ivorks of Abraham. Verse 44: "Ye are of your father, the Devil." This was unbearable for them, that they should be the children of the Devil, as they cannot bear it yet. For if they would have to give us this foundation (Abraham's children), everything they have built upon it would have to fall and be different. [In the following this self-praise is refuted from Scripture as unfounded assumptions. These dissertations then close with these words:] But this will I say for the strengthening of our faith. For the Jews will not let this pride and this glory of their nobility and blood be taken away from them, as said above. They are hardened. Our people, however, should be on their guard against these hardened, condemned people (who accuse God of lying and proudly despise the whole world), that they be not misled. For the Jews would gladly entice us to accept their faith and do so wherever they can. For if God should be gracious toward the Jews, they first would have to do away out of their schools, out of their hearts, and out of their mouths, all such blasphemous prayers and songs, and the boasting and pride about their blood. For such prayer constantly increases God's wrath upon them. But they will not do this, nor humble themselves, except a few individuals whom God draws especially and redeems them from their terrible destruction. EXALT THEMSELVES The other boast and superiority, on account of which they exalt themselves above all other people and despise them, is this: that from Abraham on down 1^ 15
10 they have circumcision. God help, how we heathen here must suffer in their schools, prayers, songs and teaching! How ugly we despised people stink before their noses because we are not circumcised, etc... [Here follow lengthy theological treatises based on numerous passages from Scripture.] They are pictured in it in a masterful manner before all heathen; for they are the very people who always practiced such ungodly manner of idolatry, and false doctrine, and have had uncircumcised hearts as Moses himself, and all prophets lament over them; but at the same time have endeavored to please God and for that reason killed the prophets. They are the wicked and hardened people who did not suffer themselves to be converted from their evil to good deeds through preaching, teaching, chiding of the prophets, as Scripture testifies everywhere. Yet they want to be God's servants and stand before Him! They are boastful, proud fools who to this day can not do more than to praise themselves because of their nobility and blood; praise themselves alone and despise and condemn the whole wopld in their schools, prayers, and teachings; yet they imagine themselves to be standing before God as His dearest children! 16 LIARS AND BLOODHOUNDS They are the real liars and bloodhounds, who have not only perverted and falsified the entire Scriptures from beginning to end and without ceasing with their interpretations. And all of the anxious sighing, longing and hope of their hearts is directed to the time when some day they would like to deal with us heathen as they dealt with the heathen in Persia at the time of Esther... 0 how they love that book Esther, which so nicely agrees with their btoodthirsty, revengeful and murderous dshie and hope! The sun never did shine on a more bloodthirstxjtnd revengeful ^ people as they who imagine to be the people of God who desire to and think they must murder and crush the heathen. And the foremost undertaking which they expect of their Messiah is that He should slay and murder the whole world with their sword. As they at first demonstrated against us Christians and would like to do so now, if they only could; have also tried it often and have been repeatedly struck on their snouts. But of this perhaps later. [Here Luther uncovers the deepest cause of the ever-recurring persecution of the Jews: their own fault and overbearing pride. Luther now enumerates 17
11 more references of which the Jews boast, in addition to circumcision; the Mosaic Law and the Jewish self-righteousness based on it, cites the multitude of Bible passages which lament over the falling away, unbelief and unrighteousness of the Jewish nation and speaks of the Devils with whom he compares the Jews.] WORSE THAN THE HEATHEN How much better it would be for them if they did not have God's Commandment or did not know it. For if they did not have it, they would be uncondemned. They are condemned because they have God's Commandment and do not keep it, but act against it without ceasing... In like manner murderers and whores, thieves and scoundrels and all evil men could boast they are God's holy and chosen people, because they have His Word and know that they should fear and obey Him, love Him and serve Him, honor His Name, do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, etc... Since, however, they are sinning and are condemned, it is certain that they have the most holy and correct Word of God against which they are sinning. Let 18 them boast, like the Jews, that God has sanctified them through His Law, and chosen them before all people as His peculiar nation. Such is also the glory of the Jews when they boast in their schools, praise and thank God that He has sanctified them through His Law and made them His chosen nation, while they are well aware that they are keeping none of those things, are filled with pride, envy, usury, avarice and all meanness, and most of all those among them who act very pious and holy in their prayers. For they are so blinded that they do not only practice usury (that I should be silent about their other vices), but teach it as a right which God had commanded them through Moses, in which as in other ways also, they lie about God in a miserable manner, about which there is no time to speak now. THEY MOCK THE TEN COMMANDMENTS- MAKE OF GOD A FOOL If the Ten Commandments are not kept, what is the keeping of other commandments otherwise than jugglery and trickery, yea, a real mockery in which God is treated like a fool? Just as if a mean Devilshead among us would march along in robes of bishop or preacher, and keep all the laws and ways of such per- 19
12 sons outwardly, but under that spiritual decoration were a real Devil, wolf, an enemy of the Church and a blasphemer who would tread under foot, curse and condemn both the Gospel and the Ten Commandments: 0 what a wonderful saint that would be before God. Or if in this world a beautiful woman were to parade in a wreath (token of virginity) and follow all manners, rights and behavior of maidenly modesty and virginity, but underneath were nothing but a nasty, shameful whore transgressing the Ten Commandments, what would her fine obedience help her if outwardly she observed the rights and ways of virginity? This it would do to her, that people would despise her seven times more than a free, public whore! Thus God always chided Israel a mean whore through His prophets, because they practiced all manner of idolatry and wickedness under the show of outward commandments and sanctity. As Hosea especially laments Chapter 2:4,5: "/ will not have mercy upon her children; for they ie the children of whoredoms. For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceiveth them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink." It is nice indeed to find a maiden or woman who is _20 pious, cleanly and decently dressed and outwardly behaving in a modest manner. But when she is a whore; the dress, decorations, wreath and trinkets would appear more honest on a sow in the mire. As Solomon says: "A golden braid on the nose of a sow is as a beautiful, silly woman." Therefore, they might as well keep from boasting about outward obedience to the Laws of Moses without true obedience to God's Ten Commandments. Yea, it makes them sevenfold more unworthy to be the people of God than the heathen. Let them,alone! And let us remain with those who pray the miserere, the 51st Psalm, that is, who know and understand what the Law is and what is keeping or not keeping the Law. From this, dear Christian, note what you are doing when you permit these blinded Jews to mislead you. In such an instance the proverb certainly is fulfilled: "Where the blind leads the blind, both will fall into the ditch." More you cannot learn from them. To lack understanding of God's commandments and yet be proud and overbearing towards the heathen who are much better than they are before God, because they do not have such pride of holiness, and yet 21
13 do much more of the Law than the proud saints and condemned blasphemers and liars. THEIR SCHOOLS A DEVIL'S NEST Therefore be on your guard against the Jews and know that where they have their schools there is nothing but the Devil's nest in which self-praise, vanity, lies, blasphemy, disgracing God and man, are practiced in the bitterest and most poisonous way as the DeviLa do themselves. Wherever you see or hear a Jew teaching, do not think otherwise than that you are hearing a poisonous BasiUskus who with his face poisons and kills people. (Medieval legend.) Through God's wrath they have been delivered to believe that all of their boasting, vanity, lying to God, cursing all men, are right and a great service to God, something well becoming to such noble blood of the fathers and circumcised saints (no matter how mean they otherwise might know themselves to be in gross vices) 'ftrhich service they think they have rendered hereby. Look out for them! They brag and boast that thfey have had the land of Canaan, the city of Jerusalem and the temple from God. Although God has overthrown such boasting and vanity many times, esijecially through the king of 22 Babylon who led them away and destroyed everything, like the King of Assyria had before led away and destroyed the entire Israel. Finally they were rooted up and devastated by the Romans, now almost 1400 years ago, that they might comprehend how God did not consider, nor will He regard country, city, temple, priesthood and principality, that He should consider them His own chosen people on that account; yet their iron neck (as Isaiah calls it) is not bowed, nor has their iron forehead become red with shame. They constantly remain stiff-necked, blinded, hardened, and immovable. Still hope that God will bring them home again and give everything back to them. DEVIL POSSESSED They do not see and hear that God had given everything for the purpose that they should keep His Commandments; therefore they should be His people and Church. Just as they boast of their blood and nobility, but that they should keep His Commandments, on account of which and for which purpose he had chosen them, that they do not see and regard. They boast about their circumcision, but the purpose for which they were circumcised to keep God's Commandment does not mean anything to them. They 23
14 know how to boast of their Law, Temple, Divine Services, city, country and principality; but disregard the purpose for which they had it. The Devii hats possessed these people with all his angels; that they always boast of outward things, their gifts, their accomplishments and deeds, which is to offer up the empty shells without the kernels. Those He is to look upon and on their account take them (the people who offer them) for His nation, exalt and bless them above all heathen. But that they should keep His Commandments and keep Him as their God, that they will not accept. The saying of Moses applies to them: ".They da not regard Me as God. therefore I do riot regard them as my people," as also says Hosea 1:9. If God had not permitted the people of Jerusalem to be torn asunder and driven them from the land, but had let them keep it after as before, no one could convince them that they are not God's chosen nation. Because they would still have the temple, city and country, regardless of their wickedness, disobedience and stiff-neekedness. Although many prophets would daily cry out and a thousand Moses' be standing here and exclaiming: "You are not the people of God, because you are disobedient and rebellious." Even now they cannot give up their insane raving boast that they are the chosen people of God, after they have been dispersed and rejected for 1500 years! Still they hope to get back there because of their own merits. There is no promise for that on which they could lean for comfort, except what they smear into the Scriptures according to their own imagination... Thus the Jews at last continue in their willfulness, and knowingly want to err and not leave their Rabbis, and therefore we also must leave them to their poisonous blasphemies and lies, and disregard them. DISHONEST WITH SCRIPTURE I have also had this experience... Three learned Jews came to me in the hope of finding a new Jew in me, because here in Wittenberg we began to read Hebrew. They also pretended that things would soon improve because we Christians were reading their books. When I disputed with them, they acted according to their kind; gave me their interpretations.when I compelled them to remain with the text, they fell from the text and said they had to believe their Rabbis, as we had to believe the Bishops and Doctors, etc... Then I had mercy on them, gave them a recommendation for safe-conduct to the guides, that they should permit them to pass for the sake of Christ. Later I was informed that they called Christ a "Tola," i. e., a 24-
15 The Jews deny that He came when the temple was still standing and claim that He shall still come, as they now have been waiting 1568 years after the de struction of that same temple and cannot be called a ''little while,'' because they do not yet know the end of such a "long while." hanged malefactor. Therefore, I do not care to have anything to do with any Jew. St. Paul says they are given over to wrath. The more you try to help them the harder and more wicked they become. Let them alone! [Here follow many proofs from the Bible which are accompanied by detailed theological, scientific, and therefore in general not understood, citations, which cannot be restated here because t)f ttieir volume, although they are powerful and correspond with Luther's German essence and often strike the nail on the head in a preciously forward manner. From the wealth of striking Scripture passages, only the following are here cited: Haggai 2:6,7: "Thus saith the Lord of Hosts yet, once, it is a little while and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations! and the desire of all nations shall come." ("All nations" is equal to "heathen")-under the "Desire of Nations" the anciedt people designated the "Messiah.'] -26- OOLD AND SILVER THEIR MESSIAH He will never come, for He has missed the '' little while" and has gotten into the great, long while, which will never come to anything. For the prophet speaks of a "little while," not of a great, long while! But here they squirm out of it in this way: Since they cannot deny the "little while," they take the expression: "Desire of Nations," in Hebrew "Hemdath," by itself, and crucify it. Say it should not designate "Messiah," but should denote all gold and silver of the heathen. Because the word "Hemdath," according to the grammar, really means "Desire and love for," as that which the heathen desire and love. And now the text shall read thus: "After a little while the desire of all heathen shall come." What is that? What do the heathen desire? Gold, silver, and jewels. You may be inclined to ask why the Jews insert such interpretations here. I will say: Their breath stinks for the gold and silver of the heathen, since no people under the sun always have been, still are, and always will remain more avaricious than they (the Jews) as can be noticed in their cursed usury. They also find comfort with this: "When Messiah comes. He shall take all the gold and silver in the world and distribute it among them (the Jews)." Thus wherever they can 27
16 direct Scripture to their insatiable avarice (desire for money) they wickedly do so. You would think that God and His prophets did not know of anything else to prophecy than hotv the fathomless avarice of the Jews could be satisfied with the silver and gold of the heathen. Since childhood they have devoured such poisonous hatred against the Goyim from their parents and Rabbis, and still devour such without ceasing, that according to Psalm 109 it has gone over into their flesh and blood, bone and marrow, and has become their life and being. And as little as they can alter flesh and blood, bone and marrow, so little can they change such pride and envy. They just have to stay that way and be ruined, if God does not perform a special miracle. A BITTER, POISONOUS ENEMY Therefore know, my dear Christian, that next to the Devil you have no more bitter, more poisonous, more vehement an enemy than a real Jew who earnestly desii-es to be a Jew. There may be some among them who believe what the cow or the goose believes. But all of them are surrounded with their blood and circumcision. In history, therefore, they are often accused of poisoning wells, stealing children and mutilating them; as in Trent, Weiszensee, etc. Of course, they deny this. Be it so or not, however, I know full well that the full, ready will is not lacking with them if they could only transform it into deeds, in secret or openly. Know this for a certainty and aut accordingly! Should they at times do something good, however, know full well that it is not done out of love for you, nor for your good. In order to have space to live among us they must of necessity do something. But their heart is and remains as I have said. Do you not want to believe me? Then read Lyra, Burgen and others, lionourable and truthful men. If they had n6t written it. Scripture reveals that the two seeds of the serpent and of the woman are at enmity, and there is no concord between God and the Devil. This is also found in gross form in their writings and prayerbooks. A person who does not know the Devil, might wonder why they are so at enmity with the Christians above all others; for which they have no reason, since we only do good to them. They live among us in our homes, under our protection, use land and highways, market and streets. Princes and government sit by, snore and have their mugs (mouth) open, let the Jews take from.their purse and chest, steal and rob what- 28
17 ever they will. That is, they permit themselves and their subjects to be abused and sucked dry and reducjed to beggars with their own money, through the usury of the Jews. For the Jews, as foreigners, certainly should have nothing; and what they have certainly must be ours. They do not work, do not earn anything from us. neither do we donate or give it to them. Yet they have our money and goods and are lords in our land where they are in exile. If a thief steals ten gulden he must hang; if he robs people on the highway, his head is gone. But a Jew, when he steals ten tons of gold through his usury, is dearer than God Himself. IN SECRET THEY i^urse US And as a distinguishing mark, they strengthen their faith and bitter hatred against us by saying among themselves: '' Keep on, see how God is with us and does not forsake His people in exile. We do not work, we enjoy good, lazy days; the cursed Goyim must work for us, we get their money; thereby we are their masters, they, however, our servants. Keep on, dear Children of Israel, it will be better still! Our Messiah will come if we thus continue and appropriate to ourselves, by usury, the "Hemdath" (Hebrew: desire, possessions) of the heathen!" -Lowell, all this we accept from them while we are protecting them: yet they curse us, as said before. But of this later. [After lengthy exegetical, historical dissertations there follows a highly interesting paragraph from which it may be seen that Luther was acquainted with the Talmud and Schulchan-Aruch already at his time, which explains his changed attitude over against the Jew question.] Do not their Talmud and Rabbis write that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is sin if he kills a brother in Israel! It is no sin if he does not keep his oath to a. heathen. Therefore, to stedl and rob (as they do with their usury) from a heathen, is a divine service. For they hold that they cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us, because they are the noble blood and circumcised saints; we however, cursed Goyim. And they are the masters of the world and we are their servants, yea, their cattle! In sliort, as the Rabbis have taught them, so also their Evangelists tell us (Matthew 15:6, '-And lionoiir not Ins father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the Commandment of God of none effect hy your tradition.") that they have abolished the Fifth Commandment about lionouring father and mother; and
18 Matthew 23:13 ("But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.") practiced more shameful doctrines, not to mention what Christ says, Matthew 5:28: "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." How they cunningly preached and expounded the Ten Commandments! And into the temple they had placed money changers, merchants and all manner of avaricious trade, that our Lord Christ said they had made of God's house a den of thieves. Now figure it out for yourself what a fine honor that was, how the house was full of glory that God had to call his own house a den of thieves! Because so many souls were murdered through avaricious, false doctrine; that is, through two-fold idolatry. To this day the Jews cling to such doctrines and do as their fathers did; pervert the Word of God, are avaricious, practice usury, steal, commit murder Cwherever they can do so, and on and on teach their children to do such. TALMUD WORSE THAN HEATHEN PHILOSOPHY The heathen philosophers and,poets write much more honourably; not only about God's government 32 and future life, but also about temporal virtues. They write that man is by nature obligated to serve others, &lso to keep his word to enemies, and be true and helpful to them especially in need, as taught by Cicero and his-like. Yea, I maintain that in three fables of Aesop there is more wisdom to be found than in all the books of the Talmudists and Rabbis and more than ever could come into the hearts of the Jews. Should someone think I am saying too much I am not saying too much, but much too little! For I see in writings how they curse us Goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and prayers. They rob us of our money through usury, and wherever they are able, they play us all manner of mean tricks; (what is worst of all) they mean to have right and well in this, that is, they think they have rendered God a service in this and teach that such should be done. No heathen has done such things and none would do so except the Devil himself and those whom he possesses, like he possesses the Jews. Burgensis, who was a very learned Rabbi among them and by the grace of God became a Christian (which seldom occurs), is much moved that in their schools they so horribly curse us Christians (as Lyra also writes) and from that draws the conclusion that they must not be the people of God. For if they were 33
19 the people of Go'd, they would act like the captive Jews did in Babylon, to whom Jeremiah writes thus: "Pray for the King of the city where you are captive; for their peace is also your peace." But our bastards and false Jews think they must curse us, hate and do us all manner of harm wherever they can do so; for which they have no reason whatsoever. Therefore they certainly are not God's people. More about this later. THEY PROFANE THE NAME OP JESUS [Very interesting are the dissertations about the sophisticated manner of the Jews in hidiilg- their hatred against Jesus under sham names. Here it says:] Accordingly they treat His (Jesus') Name. For Jhesus in Hebrew means "Healer" or "Helper." The ancient Saxons used a name: "Helprich" or "Hilprich," which sounds like the name Jhesus which we now would call "Helprich," that is, who may or should be able to help. Distortingly, however, the Jews call Him "Jesu," which in Hebrew is neither name nor word, but simply three letters or ciphers, or cipherletters, as if I were to take the letters CLTJ as ciphers and make the word CLU out of them, that is 155 (CLU, Roman ciphers: C 100, L 50, V V and U originally are the same). Thus they call Jesu, that is 316. Such a figure is said to bring about 34- another word which moans Nebel Borik. About this you may read more in Anton, Margaritham. What Devil's work they practice with such numbers and words. They treat us Christians in like manner. When we come to them and they receive us they pervert the word: (jrod welcome you (German seid Gott wilkommen) and say: "Shed wil kom," that is: "Devil, come!" or: "There comes a Devil." Since we do not understand the Hebrew, they secretly practice their hatred against us, that we think they are friendly to us while they curse us with the fire of hell and all misfortune. THEY CALL THE VIRGIN MARY A WHORE Thus they call Him (Jesus) the child of a whore and His mother, Mary, a whore, whom she had in adultery with a smith. Reluctantly I must speak so coarse in opposing the Devil. Now they well know that they speak such lies in plain hatred and wilfulness, solely to poison their poor youth and simple Jews against the Person of our Lord, to prevent them from accepting His doctrine (which they cannot deny). Sabastianus Muenster also points out in his Biblia, that there is said to be a poisonous Rabbi who does not call the dear mother "Maria," but "Haria," 35
20 a heap of mud. And who knows what more they have among themselves of which we know nothing! [Lutlier now shows in elaborate, scientific discussions about the Messiah and Bar-Kochab, his thorough knowledge of the Jewish character, the writings and hopes of Juda and finally arrives at the socalled "captivity" among the Christians.] Now behold what a nice, thick, fat lie it is when they complain about being captives among us. Jerusalem was destroyed more than 1400 years ago and during that time we Christians have been tortured and persecuted by the Jews in all the world. For nearly 300 years (as stated above) we might well complain that during that time they captured and killed the Christians, which is the clear truth. On top of that, we do not know to this day which Devil brought them into our country. We did not fetch them from Jerusalem! On top of all that, no one is holding them now. Land and highways are open to them; they may move to their country whenever they care to do so! We would like to add a present in order to get rid of them. They are a heavy burden to us in our country, like a plague, pestilence, and nothing but misfortune. Do you call that being held captive when a person cannot stand one in his own house t Why, they hold us Christians in captivity in our own country; they let us work in the sweat of our noses, while they appropriate money and goods, sitting behind the stove, are lazy, gluttlers and guzzlers, live well and easy on goods for which we have worked, keep us and our goods in capti\ity through their cursed usury, mock us and spit on us, because we must labor and permit them to be noblemen at our expense; thus they are our lords and masters, we their servants with our own property, sweat and labor! And to thank us and reward us, they curse our Lord! ENSLAVE US WITH OUR OWN WEALTH Should the Devil not laugh and dance, when in this manner he can have his paradise among us Christians, that through the Jews, his saints, he devours what is ours and to thank us fills our mugs (mouths) and noses, blasphemes and curses God and man! They could not have enjoyed such good days in Jerusalem under David and Solomon in their own possessions as they now have in our property, which they daily steal and rob. Still they complain that we are holding them captive! Yes, we have and hold them captive, as I would like to keep my rheumatism, fur- 37
