Qesheth, the bow, another name for Abir which includes all forms of warfare, because of our bow/loop strikes is mentioned in Shmuel as having been taught to "the sons of Yehuda, as it is written in Sefer HaYashar".<br /><br />Jews in the Caucus mountains had a warfare system. Rambam mentions it in a letter to a Jewish community and says that the ceasing of learning combat resulted in much demise of the Jewish people. I cite it in one of my blogs ("Jewish Warriors and Pesah"). I also cite there that Habbani Jews were renowned by other Yemenite Jews for their combat abilities, and there is a story relayed by non-Habbani Rabbi Yosef Maghori Kohen:<br /><br />"The Habbanis were mighty heroes. I heard a lot from elders in my youth about the Habbanis, about their wars, how they would fight ‘according to names’. What does it mean ‘according to names’? –the letters: They would make the shape of the [Hebrew] letters with their hands, and by this they would be victorious. Also the Shar`abim–from the city of Shar`ab–were strong, but not to the same degree as the Habbanis. Once in Yemen there was a wild tribe of murderous Arab warriors that conquered town after town, slaughtering whomever they found. Thus they moved forward from settlement to settlement: killing, destroying–may their names by blotted out–until they approached a city of Jews, 13,000 Jews roughly. Everyone felt hopeless-even the Arabs among them put up their hands, searching for a place to escape. Suddenly ten [Jewish] Habbanis arrived and waged war with them–ten against a thousand–and vanquished all of them. Not even one of those warriors was left alive, and not one of the ten fell."<br /><br />If you read the midrash Sefer HaYashar about the combat abilities of our fathers and the amazing things they did on the battle field, this above story is also very believable.<br /><br />You would have to be a moron, or just possessed by the Satan, not to put two and two together and realize that obviously the Jewish people had a fighting system like all other nations. When HaShem was with us, his help and the methods of Abir-Qesheth enabled us to defeat nations of much greater size.<br /><br />You must be opposed to Abir for the reason that the Satan sets up people to oppose true Sadiqim and advancement of the geula. There is no other explanation for someone wanting to deny that Jews ever knew how to fight or that Jews shouldn't have to fight. It is a qlipa, something is severely wrong if someone thinks that. You see? It is not sane, not logical.Real Breslovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360337281146202544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621499066055666247.post-35159369417793293612015-04-23T06:19:10.727-07:002015-04-23T06:19:10.727-07:00Also how come other then Yehoshua Sofer no other p...Also how come other then Yehoshua Sofer no other person or group retained even a minor tradition regarding Abir? Take Kabala for example which was hidden and limited to secret societies for many generation and was guarded with great care. Yet practically every single Jewish group from around the world has traditions related to Kabala that were handed down from generation to generation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
