The ‘Kahal’. A Long-Term Jewish System Against 'Goyim'
By Rae West 5 May 2022
NORTH GATE OF THE JEWRY AT CARPENTRAS.
In France, as in other countries, the Jews established their parasitic ghetto-communities. The one in Carpentras [southern France, near the Mediterranean - RW] dates from the middle ages.
Above picture from Britton's Behind Communism. I haven't seen any drawings of Jewish kehilla in early times.
The 'Kahal' (or 'Kehilah', and no doubt other variations) is a name for a Jewish system in which their 'community' is controlled by a Synagogue, with the Kahal in a nearby building. The Kahal is the decisions-making part; the synagogue gives instructions to the simpler parts of the 'community'. A synagogue is sometimes called a 'schul'.
From my Jews/index.html I noted:
1869 Jacob Brafman (c. 1825–1879; may be spelt Brafmann) Kniga Kagal ("The Book of the Kahal"), a translation into Russian of the minutes (Pinkas) of the kehillah of Minsk. Included essays on Jews and Jewish customs. A second, enlarged two-volume edition was published in 1875. Posthumous publication with an introduction by Brafman's son, 1882. The book, translated into French, Polish, and German, created a stir among Jews and Russians.
1873 Livre du Kahal by J Brafman (published in Odessa; translated into French by T.P.), Material to study Judaism in Russia, and its influence on populations among which it exists. One of the first, or first modern, explorations of the Kahal, apparently the organisation exclusively for Jews and Jewish arrangements as against everyone else. Hair-raising reading. [This author is not mentioned by Kevin MacDonald].
Also called 'Kehilla' or 'Kehillah'. As applied in the USA, this site is one of a few describing what happened: Kehillah description by a Biblical site.
1886 I found an article translated into English by Alexander Jacob as The Jews — The Kings of Our Age, by Dr. Otto Böcker here, on the Occidental Observer site. As is typical of TOO, it is weak on analysis. Neither the Kahal system, nor the interaction of Jews with the Church, is noted.
And from jews-parasitic-evolution.html:–
Parasitism usually needs one area to be infested and controlled. Jews in eastern Europe, despite effective parasitism by land control and targetting by the Kahal system, were collectively poor, because the whole area was poor. ... There was something like swarm activity to the USA and UK around 1900.
On the Kahal System note also another analogy with the animal kingdom: localised swarms of Jews sent out to jointly parasitise. Here's a quotation from Arthur Koestler [Jew from Hungary, writing in Britain] on the Ullstein group in his book The God That Failed; Koestler worked for them for a time:–
‘ ... a kind of super-trust; the largest organization of its kind in Europe, and probably In the world. They published four daily papers in Berlin alone, among these the venerable Vossische Zeitung, founded in the eighteenth century, and the B.Z. am Mittag, an evening paper. Apart from these, Ullstein’s published more than a dozen weekly and monthly periodicals, ran their own news service, their own travel agency, etc., and were one of the leading book publishers. The firm was owned by the brothers Ullstein – they were five, like the original Rothschild brothers, and like them also, they were Jews.’
There were also five Rothschild daughters, sent out on their own missions, usually I think to trap high-ranking male goyim.
Henry Ford's International Jew says “From the first century forward, as any reader can see by consulting the Jewish Encyclopedia, the "community," "assembly" or "Kahal" has been the center of Jewish life. It was so earlier, in the time of the Babylonian captivity. And the last official appearance of it was at the Peace Conference, where the Jews, in accordance with their World Program, the only program that passed successfully and unchanged through the Peace Conference, secured for themselves the right to the Kahal for administrative and cultural purposes.” Ford also discusses the Sanhedrin over about 6 pages.
But both hexzane527 and MilesWMathis caution against Ford. Hexzane527 says Ford's task was to inform whites about Jews, since without this, they would continue to know nothing. To prepare for the invention of Hitler, this was needed.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn on The Book Of Kahal:–
It was at the end of 1850s and during the 1860s when the baptized Jew Yakov Brafman, appeared before the government and later came out publicly in an energetic attempt at radical reformation of the Jewish way of life. He had petitioned the Czar with a memorandum and was summoned to St. Petersburg for consultations in the Synod. He set about exposing and explaining the Kahal system (though a little bit late, since the Kahal had already been abolished.) For that purpose he had translated into Russian the resolutions of the Minsk Kahal issued in the period between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. Initially he published the documents in parts and later in 1869 and 1875 as a compilation, The Book of Kahal, which revealed the all-encompassing absoluteness of the personal and material powerlessness of the community member. The book had acquired exceptional weight in the eyes of the authorities and was accepted as an official guidebook; it won recognition (often by hearsay) in wide circles of Russian society; it was referred to as the “Brafman’s triumph” and lauded as an “extraordinary success.” Later the book was translated into French, German, and Polish. The Book of Kahal managed to instil in a great number of individuals a fanatical hatred toward Jews as the worldwide enemy of Christians; it had succeeded in spreading misconceptions about Jewish way of life.
The mission of Brafman, the collection and translation of the acts issued by the Kahal had alarmed the Jewish community. At their demand, a government commission which included the participation of Jewish community representatives was created to verify Brafman’s work. Some Jewish writers were quick to come forward with evidence that Brafman distorted some of the Kahal documents and wrongly interpreted others; one detractor had even had doubts about their authenticity. A century later in 1976, the Short Jewish Encyclopedia confirmed the authenticity of Brafman’s documents and the good quality of his translation but blamed him for false interpretation. The Russian Jewish Encyclopedia (1994) pointed out that “the documents published by Brafman are a valuable source for studying the history of Jews in Russia at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries.”
[But although this sort of thing is interesting, it's noticeable that factual statements are weakened by lack of evidence, and the use of emphatic adjectives as substitutes for proofs. As in much Jewish pilpul, allegations are made which take inordinate amounts of time to investigate and prove.]

Founding Documents of the Kahal Kadosh Talmud Tora, Amsterdam
The 1638 founding document of the Kahal Kadosh Talmud Tora of Amsterdam is well known as a “merger agreement” that brought three existing congregations together into one synagogue under one leadership council (Mahamad). It bears the signatures of 218 householding men of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish nation in Amsterdam, signifying their agreement to subject themselves to the authority of the new leadership. It is also well known that this document, along with the set of communal regulations drawn up later that year, granted nearly unfettered authority to the Mahamad. Looking at these two documents along with an earlier one that established an umbrella government over the three congregations (1622) and later references to them, there emerges a more nuanced view of how these they functioned—both as political texts and as documents in a working archive.
Text 1 has been published in Portuguese in Wilhelmina C. Pieterse, Daniel Levi de Barrios als Geschiedschrijver van de Portugees-Israelietische Gemeente te Amsterdam in Zijn “Triumpho del Govierno Popular” (Amsterdam: Scheltema & Holkema, 1968), 155-67; but never in its totality in translation. Wiznitzer (see below) published an English paraphrase. Texts 2 and 3 have not been published to my knowledge, aside from short excerpts.

Searching my site for 'Kahal', I find Frank Britton discussed the Kahal, applied to medieval Jews. Britton referred to Valentine's Jewish Encyclopedia, and said the 'ghetto' is another name for it, apparently as applied in Venice. It may have been officially recognised by non-Jews, for example I presume by princes, or lords, or the church. In fairly recent times, Poland and Russia had large Jewish populations. Tsar Nicholas I tried to assimilate Jews. And this date seems to be the start of modern Jewish expansion. Jews seem to have reacted aggressively, from the top down—with the 'rabbis' presumably most keen to be hostile aggressors, with the inferior Jews possibly confident they'd be looked after. Modern attitudes of Jews to Germans, extraordinarily deep in lies and hate, are more deeply-rooted in time, average Germans being desperately Jew-naive, and paying Jews for their Christianity.

What the Kahals did
As regards Jews, please understand that they constitute a distributed nation, scattered around the world, but concentrated in some cities and towns. Don't be taken in by the claims they are only a tiny percentage. This is easy to overlook; most people don't know, or care, or understand that there are bunches of Jews in different places with similar attitudes. In each town they inhabit, they tend to the 'Kahal' system, run by Rabbis, in which they secretly arrange to target local 'goy' victims, the right to act depending on payments to Rabbis. Where secrecy is not possible, they organise a few local people on the Freemasonry principle. This principle includes religions; Christianity and Islam were both founded by Jews and collaborated with them, while pretending not to. When they seem to have sucked what they can from the locals, they may move, sometimes making a lot of noise in the process, often enough not in fact moving, and often enough secretly supported by nobility and educators. For example, Christianity was based on land ownership and many local priests, and education in western Europe was mostly a matter of training promising youngsters in Latin and the Bible. These people, like modern USA 'Christians', had a financial interest in colluding with Jews.
The 'Kahal' regards local non-Jewish areas as an empty wasteland occupied by people-shaped living things, regarded as cattle. They wish to gain ownership; this has to be kept secret. The 'Kahal' sells 'rights' to parcels of property to a Jew, and uniquely to one Jew, who is instructed to become the 'true master' of the property and to exploit it as fast a possible. A non-Jew who owns no property can only borrow from the Jew who bought the rights; no other Jew can do business, and the non-Jews must be ruined as rapidly as possible. If they come under the justice system of the country, the Kahal corrupts by money, uses false witnesses, launches 'a pack of factors'. Fascinating structures, unsurprisingly kept secret, and co-operating with (for example) Freemasons. These latter very roughly correspond to the 'candidates'.
Wikipedia article. Is a typical Jewish hate piece; it's impossible to know how true any of it is. There are stories of poverty and bitterness, a usual feature of Jewish lying. I will not go into detail, the article is suspect in the usual-suspect ways. I've copied it here (2 May 2022 version) but can't guarantee that the links work. But I may quote from it, now and then.

“Bourgeois” — what the word means means to Marxists.
The Jewish rabbinical view, embodied in the Kahal system, is that what's theirs is mine, and what's yours will be mine, after the Kahal has done its work.A 'bourgeois' is a person or group who is non-Jewish and owns money or assets. The ownership is viewed by Jews as shocking and temporary and up for spoliation.
When Jews in the USA talk about 'flyover States', or Christian churchmen are called 'bourgeois', or the Jewish 'historian' Simon Schama sneered at Suburbia, this is their hidden meaning.
H G Wells was puzzled as to why Russian intellectuals and artists were kept wretched by Bolsheviks and guards. The rabbinical Kahal system is the reason.

English Translation of a Brafman Book on this Site.
Here's a translation into English (pdf by DeepL) of Jacob Brafmann's Book of Kahal, part II (this edition 1928). I recommend people to make some effort to read this, though it's not easy reading.

[Another translation, of another book by another author, is Kalixti de Wolski on The Mysteries of Kahal. I hesitate, because it doesn't display properly. Not my fault! May be better than nothing.]
Warning against Naïveté! Why Not Test the Theory that Brafman's Books were Jewish Psyops against Goyim.
There's a tradition, encouraged by Jews, that 'goyim' should believe in whatever is offered them. Fashions change, attitudes vary, habits fluctuate, the most risky experiments with wars, population shifts, medical speculations; and when desired by Jews, absurdities remain, almost permanently.
To unsophisticated eyes, Branfman is simply presenting information about a social phenomenon. But we, aware of the sophisticated lying of Jews, have to be careful to try to interpret the circumstances around his publications. Here are some suggestions. You, dear reader, are the detective, coming after the event to try to unravel what happened.

- Most Jewish biographies include sob stories—childhood poverty etc. Numerous examples of this type have been shown to be fake, by Miles Mathis. Watch for 'numerology', various symbols, coded slang, etc.
- The claim that the Kahal had 'been abolished' is made somewhere. Probably targets have been raised; but the general idea is clearly correct. David Dimbleby, a jew in the 'BBC', was identified as attending a synagogue in Mill Hill, London, for example.
- heritage-history.com is a site I have listed having books by Léon de Poncins, on Freemasons and Jews. Probably less important than it was, since Freemasons have been somewhat superseded by 'Common Purpose' and other Communist Party derived Jewish outfits. One of his 1920s-1930s books mentioned Brafman
- Perhaps Brafman—or his handlers—intended to advance the plans of leading (but not ordinary) jews. Perhaps Brafman distracted from Jewish plans to emigrate to the US and UK. Perhaps his book diverted attention from Jews in the American 'Civil War'.
- Perhaps Brafman wanted to make Jews feel afraid of the outside world, and stick together in a timid but aggressive pack.
- Perhaps Brafman aimed to 'blackwash' Jews deliberately, to anger the goyim. Maybe so they could emigrate, by inventing pogrom stories.
- Perhaps Brafman—or his handlers, readers etc—wanted to raise awareness of Jews from their comparative obscurity, to get people talking about them. In the same way Henry Ford may have been told to raise the issues, which many Americans knew nothing about, so they would think they 'understood' Hitler.
- Or to attract shifty failure types, telling them Jews get rich and they might too, if they were allies with Jews. Many secret supporters of Jews were and are third-rate types like this.
- Or to prepare the ground for a major psyop, as in the Dreyfus Affaire in France. This invented a scandalous issue, in France, where many people had been duped by Canal frauds overseas. The Affaire was a 12-year sensation, resulting is a supposed vindication of the harmless innocent Jew, Dreyfus. This needed a great deal of media control, including early film.
- 'After World War Two and the annihilation of most of Polish and Lithuanian Jewry' is a phrase somewhere. Many Jewish frauds are mutually-supporting—at least if they aren't yet exposed.
- Brafman, or people who used his work, may have had collaborators: an obvious possibility is the Russian Orthodox Church, which probably had symbiosis with Jews, just as the very early church, the Church of England, and American churches now, all took Jewish money in exchange for preaching Jewish policies.
- Brafman was supposed to be a Christian convert, and part of a Campaign to convert Jews to Russian Orthodoxy. May have been a secret collaboration with Jews, to make Christianity seem ridiculous; or to make it sound affluent and worth plundering; or to give hints on penetrating it to change it from within.
- Brafman may have distraction away from cities, or businesses, or countries, or trades such as opium—anything coveted by Jews: Turkey, Japan, China, and the USA are examples obvious when looking back.
- As the policies pursued over many centuries by Jews come into sharper focus, it should be increasingly clear what has happened, and what is likely to happen. All of this needs clear thinking and sophistication. I hope this analytical process will succeed.

From Chris Caskie:–
I’ve been reading Brafmann’s book on the Kahals. Here are some thoughts:
[1] The Kahals seem to have been the norm in the 16th–18th centuries in Eastern Europe, but I’ve found almost nothing on how they developed, or existed elsewhere, but the system is ancient. It seems that Kahals were given the rights to operate by Catholic governments, which lends credence to the symbiosis thesis of yours.
[2] The Kahals sought to gain ownership of goyim properties. But Brafmann, nor anybody else I’ve seen yet, has accounted for how this worked out. There are parallels today with Jews in real estate, e.g. in New York, ripping off goyim. Perhaps large parts of e.g. Poland were owned by Jews.
Reading Brafmann, he also addresses conflict amongst Jews within the Kahal and how they ripped each other off and how people who disobeyed the kahal were ruined. And an account of how Kahals appointed ‘inspectors’ in a military like structure for every 100 Jews to police things.
[3] The tithe system is sourced from the Bible, and the system was imposed in (mostly Western) Europe in the Middle Ages until the govt. started collecting taxes following the ‘French Revolution’. Was extracting 10% of people’s income in fact too excessive and a ripoff? How much money served the public versus being wasted?
[4] You mentioned ‘feudalism’ and Ganshof. Any alternatives to the term ‘feudalism’, which only originated in 1839?
I’ve been browsing through books at my local university library. They have a lot of the conventional staples, like Ganshof. After surveying a dozen books on the Middle Ages & church history, I didn't find much useful concerning church economics, tithes, or ‘usury’ and Jewish moneylenders, and, of course, nothing about Kahals. Mostly generic descriptions. A huge void for future historians to (hopefully) fill.
