There is no secret that Serge Benhayon’s family has a Jewish heritage. From his last name alone, which is of Moroccan Jewish origin, one can easily assume that this is the case.
Although he does not practice Judaism, Serge Benhayon has often presented and shared the fact of his Jewish heritage, something that he has never been ashamed of or tried to hide.
To illustrate Serge Benhayon’s openness to people of all cultures and religions and to share that he has no particular affiliation with any one religion Serge has shared on several occasions the personal story that: he was circumcised (brit milah) by a Mohel, baptised by a priest and has heritage in the Islamic faith through his Moroccan descendants. Whilst remaining fully respectful to the core tenets of these principles, he does not practice nor follow any of these religious faiths today, instead living the religion (relationship) of his inner-heart, expressed for all as the Way of the Livingness.
Elkan Spiller, a first generation descendant of Nazi Anti-Semitism testifies on the false accusation about Serge Benhayon being Anti-Semitic:
“Firstly, I write in English and it not being my native tongue but one of the many languages I speak like German, French, Hebrew and Yiddish.
“Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.
“Serge Benhayon himself was born and raised within a very old Jewish family, Moroccan and Russian backgrounds. I never heard him speak pejoratively about his Jewish background.
“About me:
Born as a Jew in Germany I was very sensitive about Anti-Semitism all my life. My grandparents were both killed in Auschwitz; as we all know, just because they were Jews. And my father is a survivor of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. I am a direct descendant of the highest and vilest form of Anti-Semitism.
“Education:
I have a Masters in Communication in Social and Economic Contexts.
At my studies in Berlin I wrote a masters thesis on the subject of unconscious Anti-Semitism in German Media/TV. In order to achieve this very unique study I analyzed a TV documentary and more than 50 newspaper articles and exposed the hidden Anti-Semitic terminology.
Having written a masters that featured and exposed the unconscious Anti-Semitism that was still prevailing up until 1992 in Germany, and with my family’s direct history with the Nazi Concentration Camps, it can be said with very certain authority that I know what I am talking about when it comes to Anti-Semitism, or more colloquially: I can smell it from far away and never hold back when it comes to exposing it.
“In addition, and no less, I am a filmmaker and made the documentary “L’Chaim! – To Life!”, a film about the outcome of the Holocaust and its effects on the ensuing generations. Serge Benhayon supported me in making this documentary and gave a lot of input. I even use a quote of his about the extended impact of war which rightly signatures the end of the film, and his son Michael Benhayon composed the music.
The film has made its mark at various Film Festivals of which Serge Benhayon and his wife Miranda Benhayon and daughter Natalie Benhayon supported by attending the world premiere in Munich.
Most recently, “L’Chaim! – To Life!” won the audience award for best documentary at the Film Festival in Mainz, Germany.
“I know Serge Benhayon and his work Universal Medicine for 5 years. I have witnessed and experienced him personally in hundreds of hours of Universal Medicine talks, workshops, courses, and in private sessions.
I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.
“All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too. (Any government should know about these teachings, they would save billions of dollars for their Health systems).
“I’ve seen many world teachers in my life but Serge Benhayon lives what he talks. You can see and feel the result of his livingness in his family and it is fascinating to see how the self-formed Universal Medicine student body has changed and improved their health, look and entire life to the point that now many are able to help other people.
Thank you for sharing Elkan, I have watched your film and it is fascinating to see that although the war finished in 1940 the repercussions of the war are still being felt to devastating effect. You are a testament to the vileness of war and yet have healed the pain and hurt you carried thanks to the support of Serge Benhayon who as you say offers his knowledge about a way of living that actually works and is non-harming to ourselves and others.
Calling Serge Benhayon anti-Semitic exposes the desperation of the person trying to smear Serge’s name, and their willingness to use lies to do so.
What you have shared Elkan is so true, and the feeling that comes is that the words of wisdom that are shared by Serge Benhayon elucidate aspects of every religious order but in a way that makes practical living in todays world, so lets not crucify without first stepping into and feeling what True Livingness is all about.
Thank you Elkan for the clarity, sureness and absolute authority with which you discuss anti-semitism and that fact that Serge Benhayon does not have an anti-semitist cell in his body.
I like what you’re asking because that’s exactly what should be questioned – why would somebody concoct lies about another person without any ground to stand on?
I agree, in all of my interactions with Serge Benhayon at courses and workshops I have never encountered any racism, sexism or any form of discrimination whatsoever.
Just look at the smile of Serge Benhayon, his whole body is smiling, open and transparent. We could say he is completely open to all of humanity it’s so obvious he has nothing to hide. If you were to put the photo side by side with any photo of say a Politician, member of any of the religious organisations, Film star, Sports personality and look at the difference in body language, that’s when you will notice his divine quality, and that openness is how he is with everyone he meets; irrespective of how you are with him, he will always treat you as an equal. There are very few people who have this innocent radiant beauty about them and quite honestly there would be no harm to have many more of that caliber in the world.
What I am noticing more and more as I get older is that our right to know something that feels true is being eroded away. For example, if someone wants to practice a certain faith then go for it. If I don’t feel it’s necessary for me to do the same, then that is my right and I should not be coerced in any way to join in with something that doesn’t sit right with me. But it seems unless you go along with the majority then somehow you are cast as different, odd, an outsider and can become a target of abuse and vilification because you are seen to not fit into the ‘normal’ societal view. We are living in the 21st Century but adopting rules and regulations of the dark ages. This does not make any sense to me.
Knowing Serge Benhayon over twelve years I can fully attest to this statement too, ‘I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.’ The love the man has for humanity no matter what, is pure inspiration to not give up on our fellow man or ourselves.
Here, here Karin. To see the changes that have come about in people’s lives due to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon, is an inspiration and confirmation to his depth of compassion and unconditional love for all.
Serge Benhayon is the most understanding and loving person I have met, he doesn’t judge people and his whole foundation for life is equality with everyone. I’ve been watching him since 2012, he’s never wavered on this point, he lives brotherhood and love, and he is an absolutely wonderful person to be around an inspiration. Smearing his name falsely as Anti-Semitic is quite simply untrue.
Absolutely Melinda, Serge Benhayon is the most loving person I have met.
““The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”” there is a lot of this going around lately, Serge Benhayon getting accused of horrendous things when this man has only ever stood for truth and time will indeed show this fact to rest of humanity.
Serge Benhayon has been lied about, and accused of horrendous things, when he is the person with the most integrity, truth, and love on this planet.
“… to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” This sums it up very well, Elkan!
Yes I love this quote too. It really exposes the crookedness of any accusation that Serge Benhayon discriminates in any way.
L’Chaim! – To Life! is a very powerful film. If Serge Benhayon was anti-semitic would he endorse this film, of course not.
Serge Benhayon never holds back on speaking the truth.
And Serge Benhayon never holds back on expressing love, for everyone.
“I never heard him speak pejoratively about his Jewish background” I also have never heard Serge Benhayon speak about any one person or group in any way other than with understanding, true support and a deep care. He certainly calls out the energy or a behaviour, but it is never personal.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
Aha, yes now that is a question worth asking..and because right or wrong doesn’t exist; what does this tell us about the quality of speech that comes through another and his or her responsibility for letting that come through?
“Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” Haha and well said.
As an authority on anti-semitism, you have experienced so much which could not have been easy. But I admire your courage to speak out and to make the film, this will in turn support so many people who are also authorities on anti-Semitism because of their experiences, and to also know that every voice matters and every story told has its potential to inspire.
Well, you should know if anyone is anti-Semitic! And your final question of, what is the agenda of the person posing such questions…
A powerful testimonial to Serge Benhayon and one that exposes media lies and attacks. We who know Serge know the true man. Serge teaches, lives and regards every human being as an equal brother and sister.
We are beginning to see how the media are putting a spotlight on their own practices and behaviours, and how they believe their own hype without true research. It will take time but we will all see this eventually.
Interestingly enough, most of these lies about Serge Benhayon come from people, and media who have never met the man. Those of us who have known Serge for about 20 years really know Serge Benhayon, which is why we can say with authority that Serge Benhayon is the most loving and truthful being on this planet.
The accusations are so false they are the complete opposite of the man. So much so, another question would be; why would people from all over the world, of various professions, demographics and backgrounds want to hang out with such a dodgy character as the lies portray? The answer is because that character is a lie.
A very powerful first hand testimonial of the absolute love and integrity Serge Benhayon holds all people in regardless of their religious faith.
When one is open to understanding and learning what The Way of The Livingness is truly about then one with know and can feel without a doubt that Serge Benhayon and the teachings he presents all center on living in connection to our love within, to our Soul regardless of what our nationality, race or religion is. As in love, we are all equal brothers and as such in love there never can be a cause to abuse, judge, vilify, dissociate or another. And in fact it does highlight what degree of lovelessness is lived by one who does impose such vilification, accusations and abuse towards another.
Serge Benhayon is one such person who is willing to explore all types and forms of beliefs and religion and is not one to criticise them. He simply unpacks them so that others can make their own decisions about them, and he is an advocate of religion in the true sense
The fact that the lies hurled at Universal Medicine are accepted by society says a lot about society’s accepted social standards which are entirely indulgent and energetically irresponsible. If the standards were actually much higher than this, then these lies would be exposed the minute they were voiced.
It really exposes the desperation of the people who create lies about Serge Benhayon that they have ridiculously tried to smear his name with the term “anti Semitic” when he has not only been born into a family of Jewish heritage, but that everyone who knows him reports his absolute integrity to never discriminate against anyone for any reason.
What I am learning through all the accusations thrown at Serge Benhayon and his family is that when someone doesn’t want to take responsibility for their own life they can fall into a very deep well of irresponsibility to another – and keep digging and digging desperately looking for something to justify the irresponsible behaviour and path they have chosen. These attacks have gone on for so long now with not a shred of foundation that there is great emotional and psychological jeopardy for the person throwing the stones to now turn around and say they have been wrong all along.
That is very true, to recognise how far they have strayed and how blind they have been would be painful. The person who makes these allegations would say this was the case for anyone ‘defending’ Serge, fortunately my sense of deep settlement I feel in Esoteric Healimg sessions is evidence of the truth he presents and lives.
And that is what this experience has taught me. Our body is the marker of all truth, it is what tells us if something feels right or not, simple as that. What Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have share with us sits so well in the body and honours all equally, if others choose to react to that so be it, but it does not change what the body shows to be true.
What this highlights is that people throw stones willy nilly in the hope that one of them hits, hurts and teaches you to be afraid. If you are afraid ,or ashamed, you are easier to control and manipulate. That is why they are not only throwing stones at the Benhayons, the person throwing stones is sending a message to anyone who stands alongside them. This is how it has worked throughout history. So no more please.
Serge Benhayon has taught me understanding, responsibility, the importance of my choices, and most of all love and truth, which are all values he holds and lives himself, and from my own personal experience he is not anti-Semitic in anyway, he is the most inclusive person I have ever met.
Thank you Elken for such a forthright personal testament to the ridiculousness of accusing Serge Benhayon of Anti-Semitism and the same would apply to any accusation of any form of discrimination.
Yes agreed. What Elken has presented here exposes the absurdity of these accusations against Serge Benhayon. With such inaccuracies exposed it begs the question where are these imputations really coming from, what is the driving force behind them or the persons?
The accusations of anti-semitism among others against Serge Benhayon, make no sense whatsoever and say more that the accusers than anything … as you share here Elkan, you couldn’t meet someone more inclusive or honouring of others, no matter what their background than Serge Benhayon … he has a level of care for others that is second to none, and that’s the thing you notice about him when you meet him, you are treated with the utmost respect, and held in the greatest understanding, he’s the epitomy of what it is to live in a way that is truly responsible and with utmost integrity.
I absolutely agree with everything you have shared Monica, and I know that so many others would agree too, as Serge Benhayon has touched their lives the same way he has yours and mine. Every day I feel so blessed that I followed the strong impulse to meet Serge many years ago, so blessed as the life I live today is so very wonderfully different than the one I was living before I met him.
I agree Monica, when you know Serge Benhayon it makes no sense to say he is anti-anyone. Always holding and caring of others he lives with the highest integrity of anyone I know. True, he doesn’t hold back against speaking the truth and perhaps this is what some have great difficulty with and therefore would rather make up fabrications than look at their reactions to truth being delivered? I have never known anyone deliver the truth with such love and beholding of others as Serge.
Serge is the one man in this world who I know that really sees each and every single human being as an absolute equal human being and holds each in the same amount of love. Talk about a ‘living inspiration that doesn’t take things personally and holds on to old hurts ever.’
Without a doubt there is no greater example or inspiration of a person who holds everyone as equal without judgment of their colour, creed, gender, age, politics, religion, past behaviour or any apparent difference of any kind than Serge Benhayon.
Serge Benhayon is a truly loving man and as such does not judge anybody or anything but what he does do is speak the Truth. Many people don’t like to hear the truth and as a reaction and consequence will say anything and everything they can to discredit Serge. As you say to call him anti-semitic is completely ridiculous and you are very well qualified to say so as is anyone who knows Serge and his nature.
I back you up on what you have said Elkan in that knowing Serge I too am fully qualified to say he is not anti-semetic or any of the other lies that are said about him and I also have Jewish origins including grandparents who were German Jews and very few relatives because they were all killed.
Why do we react so much to the truth??? It is so illogical. That is what I find so exposing about this attack though – it is entirely illogical, clutching at straws, desperate for a way to ‘bring him down’. So wrong.
People have to make up ridiculous lies about Serge if they want to try and bring him down because there is nothing to pin on him not even a straw.
Truth is very confronting if you don’t want to accept that you are living a lie. By Serge living Truth his every way exposes the lies and many have vested interests and investments in lies.
It is how the world is at present, terrible in many respects, we know it is not true, ‘Many people don’t like to hear the truth and as a reaction and consequence will say anything and everything they can to discredit Serge.’
If the whole world came to know that what Serge Benhayon presents “is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too”, life as we know it would change immeasurably. But while there are those who have their own self-serving agenda to discredit him by telling the most horrendous of lies, humanity misses out on wisdom that has the potential to change their lives.
The statement that “the governments should listen as it would save our health systems billions” ought not to be taken lightly. It is not a flippant claim but a very real and worth considering potential.
I agree, Joshua, the health systems wouldn’t have to go bankrupt when we would all live the self-loving and self-caring choices that Serge presents and that my body absolutely loves.
It does not make logical sense, that some of our major problems could easily be resolved, ‘it would save our health systems billions’.
There are some testimonies that carry lots of weight. I know, this testimony to be the truth and nothing but the truth too.
If anyone would be able to sniff out even the most minute trace of anti-Semitism, it would obviously be you Elkan, based on your family background and research into the very subtle nuances of this world problem. Why would Serge Benhayon fully endorse your cinematic work that exposes these anti-Semitic tendencies anyways? The whole argument against Serge Benhayon is baseless, as I have never heard a word of judgement or ridicule emerge from his mouth, but anyone can make absurd slanderous claims and get away with it, it seems.
Even worse Michael anyone can take their absurd and slanderous claims and print them repeatedly on the internet and call is Freedom of Speech when it’s actually just freedom to abuse, and worse again they can take their lies to a sensationalist hungry media with corrupted journalistic practices and have their lies printed in newspapers and online on news sites as if it’s ‘the truth’.
Yes, it seems lies flourish, where people do not like truth, ‘anyone can make absurd slanderous claims and get away with it, it seems.’
It shows such a lack of responsibility and accountability when words are thrown around cheaply without consideration for their truth or ripple effect. What is worth considering is if this has been pre-meditated and those considerations are the reason for using the words.
I love what you share here, Elkan and your testimonial with regards to Serge Benhayon given your background and understanding of what anti-semitism gives a real context here … here is someone who knows this, and has experienced the horrific outcomes of it in his own family. This is not someone who could stand by and allow anti-semitism to be.
Thank you Elkan for sharing your experience, I absolutely know Serge Benhayon does not in all the times I have attended his many talks had any anti talk about any ethnic background, he has always treated all of mankind with love and respect as he sees us all as equal brothers.
Elkan I read your blog with much interest, I was unaware of Serge Benhayon’s heritage and truthfully I have no interest of a person’s background. I’ts how they treat another person that is of importance to me. What Serge presents is to the all no matter what religion, skin colour, sexuality and so forth, I see him as neutral to all.
I have to say I never heard of this word ‘anti-semitism’ before and had to look it up in the dictionary!…..He’s far from this and has bought many people together with a simple word that doesn’t cause any form of separatism – Love.
It’s true…any government willing to listen to Serge Benhayon could save a fortune on their health care costs. Equally, we can all save ourselves a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering by heeding his words.
Serge Benhayon has reflected to myself and many others that the way we live is less than is possible for us to live from on a daily basis – why do we shy away from living in the fullness of love that Serge talks and walks 24/7?
Serge Benhayon presents and lives with an equalness to all and to the All.
Thank you Elkan , I have had the same experience with Serge Benhayon in what he lives and presences. As they say in Ireland ” he has not a bad word to say about anyone.”
To ask: “what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” is a very important question because it opens up the discussion on why there is resistance to brotherhood.
“It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” I love that line and yes, that is how ridiculous the accusations are. It doesn’t take much digging at all to see and feel what Serge presents so anyone saying Serge is anti-Semitic either hasn’t done their homework (which to me is unacceptable in journalism) or they have an agenda.
Thank you Elkan Spiller for brilliantly exposing these lies about Serge Benhayon, when someone such as you speaks with truth and authority these lies get totally debased showing how ridiculous and calculated these false accusations truly are.
Well said, calculating because we know as a one humanity the atrocities that took place we know that if there was a whiff of that again we would be up in arms. But actually there is a whiff of it and we are still looking the other way – and it is not coming from Serge Benhayon.
Absolutely Anna, the lies are totally ridiculous, anyone who truly knows Serge Benhayon knows that for a fact, ‘showing how ridiculous and calculated these false accusations truly are.’
Indeed Elkan what is the hidden agenda to the false accusations that are being made to Serge Benhayon. Could it be that there are ideals and beliefs held in society that are not true and do not want to be exposed in the illusionary way of manipulating mankind and do not want to give up the power of separating people instead?
To make a false statement about someone it only requires a bit of imagination and malice. It is fairly easy. Of course, such statement may not be, as in this case, a true reflection of anything, except the imagination and malice of its source.
Hi Eduardo, indeed it are the ideals and beliefs held by the source that sources the false accusations with ease. Bbt that does not say that these manipulations hold any power as the source they are from is void of love, the true power in this world we live in.
It has been the case through the ages, that it is he who holds the purest message, he who will inspire us back to the truth about ourselves, the truth about God, he who can unite us all as opposed to divide us, who will be attacked. There are many forces at play who want to hold on to the appalling status quo the world is in today.
And I know you Elkan and thus know you would not hold back anything if you would sense anti-semitism.
Amazing blog Elkan, it almost brought tears to my eyes. There is just no words to describe the unwavering support you (and we all) have received from the Benhayon family – what an absolute blessing.
I love how the this blog reads, its very straight down the line and I think any intelligent person would be hard pressed to challenge what has been presented. Its great how you redirect the question in the last paragraph too, it really is a good question….why are a few people trying to ruin Serge Benhayons reputation with lies and innuendo? What do they gain and at what point are their characters going to go under the microscope? When do their motives get questioned by the media or the public?
We have walked past this keyboard cowardice for so long we have accepted it as a ‘normal’ part of online behaviour, but it shouldn’t be and we should stand up and call for decency and respect to always be at the forefront of any ideological or political disagreements. How sad is it that when we feel like we are not getting the outcome we want we head to personal insults and cheap irresponsible comments.
I too have never met a man who meets people with such openess, love and understanding- I have learnt much about life from him- a true inspiration of how to live without judgement.
Beautiful declaration of truth that Serge Benhayon lives by. Blasting the lies for what they are, just plain old school bullying. Serge lives by the truth that we are all one, and that it is us that create the separation.
Serge Benhayon’s take on mainstream religions is clear: they are not the truth that many people think they are. As such, he knows that their foundations are not solid. Only a religion based on the absolute truth, that people feel at ease with it to the bones, can be a solid one. This does not make you an anti anything. Just a holder of truth.
Elkan, I have to say I just love anything written and shared by people who have either first-hand experience or a true unbiased and loving authority on what they are sharing.
Serge Benhayon is the living, breathing, walking, talking reflection of absolute equality. Every one of us held in absolute equality, regardless of our beliefs, actions, thoughts, words and deeds – no judgement, only absolute Love.
There is so much racism and prejudice of anyone and everyone, between men and women, old and young. And yet here is Serge Benhayon who lives absolute love for all without prejudice and he is the one being accused. Elkan it’s wonderful you have expressed so clearly how absurd the accusation that Serge Benhayon is making anti-Semitic comments and how you are so well placed to clear this up having your family and yourself suffer at the horrors of such prejudice and hatred. The accusations surely must be an attempted smoke screen to hide the fact that there is this man, Serge Benhayon, who is clearly showing the world what it is to live without prejudice. That these stories are entertained shows there are those invested in prejudice still.
The thing I find sad is that there is real anti semitic behavior happening in our world today, yet it is not reported with the exposure it needs to be for us all to wake up and stop it in its tracks. Is it simply a distraction to plaster such lies about a man who is anything but, a way to incite our world more, a way to encourage the very behavior one says they are trying to stamp out?
Yes, and this allows us to continue to engage in all of those ill behaviours because it is all swept under the rug.
Absolutely Elkan, it is absurd to accuse Serge Benhayon of this. I didn’t know all these facts you speak of about Serge but in 15 years of listening and watching him present I have also never heard a disparaging comment about people let alone their religions. There is the truth and that is all Serge is interested in.
Thank you Elkan, this is a great line about Serge (and others) living from ” the religion (relationship) of his inner-heart, expressed for all as The Way of The Livingness.” It’s very simple, and does not involve beliefs because the truth in full is available to every one of us via our inner heart.
Religion – relationship from the Inner Heart, what a beautiful simple definition of religion, our innermost core in connection with everything. That´s what is being experienced when meeting Serge Benhayon and those who live from their Inner Heart and that is what the teachings of The Ageless Wisdom as presented by Universal Medicine, offer and inspire. There is nothing in the Inner Heart but the knowing of oneness, equalness and brotherhood, but never is there any inkling of racism, anti-Semitism, supremacy, discrimination or anything else.
I love that simple definition – so often when we make things complicated we lose all sense of the truth and essence of what they are. I have found the simpler things can be explained the more sense of the essence of them I get to feel and understand. And when I find things complicated I now ask myself what am I trying to get out of it?
Yes, and what I love about the student body is just that people from all backgrounds not only get along but have real, honest and loving relationships. People from a German background and Jewish background, black, white, muslim, christian, etc. etc. It doesn’t matter, we are all the same!
Elkan I really appreciate your dedication to truth and also your dedication in exposing racism, as we have seen over the last year with both Brexit and the election for presidency in America anti-semitic, racism, sexism and discrimination is still something that unfortunately currently very much still exists in the world today. It seems the past has not been truly exposed enough and healed for you have shown this both in your masters, film and this blog that this still runs continuously and unconsciously through media, tv and everyday life affecting many. I have known Serge Benhayon for over 10 years. He is the most deeply caring, loving man I have ever met, who holds every single person as an equal and deeply caring of humanity and it is this truth and love he holds and lives every moment of his life. To say Serge is anti-semitic, racist or sexist is just, oh my goodness, completely ludicrous. I agree instead the spotlight should be spun around and placed on the person or people that say he is any of these things and instead their integrity, health and well-being need to be questioned. Let us not tolerate this kind of abuse or lie anymore.
There’s never a reason to criticise or judge or comment on another’s choice of beliefs, it’s a simple basic human right to believe what you choose, whether it be true or not, and I’ve not met anyone greater at displaying equalness and allowing everyone choose what they want to choose than Serge Benhayon. I agree any allegations against him are ridiculous considering his respect of heritage, religion and human free will.
“To say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife” – that’s exactly it. It’s absurd and ridiculous because of his Jewish heritage, but because The Way Serge lives is the very thing that exposes the illusionary differences and divisions we see and have accepted in this realm of life, and the supremacist energy we have allowed to rein as a result.
In the 10 years I have known Serge Benhayon I have never felt any judgment from him whatsoever towards anyone, Serge treats everyone equally and he has an amazing love for the whole of humanity, to say Serge is anti-Semitic is absolute rubbish.
The fact that people who hold a clear vital authority are saying how it is should make clear that false accusations are just that. They carry no real value.
I love the universality of what I have learnt through being inspired by Serge Benhayon and the way he lives. There is no us and them, no me and you, we all come from love, we will all return to love. As such there is no room for anti anything and anyone who through such accusations has an agenda way beyond telling the truth. It is such a shame and a disservice to those who look for truth to be influenced by highly charged expressions designed to take us off on a reaction without looking at the deliverer’s motive.
As an adopted person, I don’t know where I hail from heritage-wise. This is extremely freeing and has allowed me to be remain arms-length from identifying with a particular religion or ethnicity – I don’t even identify with the country in which I was born and live. We’re all global citizens – nay, universal citizens.
The thing is, we think we’re of a certain lineage, and we might well be in a particular lifetime. But the truth is we’ve all been many things – Jew, Muslim, Christian, French, Japanese, Nepalese, African, English and so on and on. It’s foolish therefore to point a finger at another brother wearing a different kind of karmic suit for the purpose of their development and or service in that one lifetime.
Well said and very true Elkan, the amount of lies that have been spun about Serge Benhyaon and his family are driven from a hidden agenda by a group of disgruntled people fixated on destroying Serge Benhayon and his business Universal Medicine. It seems there is no end to the lies and false allegations they can hurl hoping like mud something will stick.
True, but as we all know, sooner or later all lies get exposed.
Anyone who truly willing to understand the principles of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings as presented and lived by Serge Benhayon, would know without a doubt that any such claim of ‘Anti-Semitism’ is completely contrary to and a corruption of what is actually presented. For what is presented is a way that we all can come to know within ourselves, through the qualities of equality, respect and love for Brotherhood, of living harmoniously together regardless of our colour, race or culture. When we understand who we are within first is love, we know and can then honor that we are all equal in love.
Thankyou Elkan for helping to set the record straight and thus correcting the lies and restoring the truth of what Serge Benhayon presents. Those that fabricate such lies are those who struggle with taking responsibility for the choices they have made that have led them so far from truth and from the simple fact that we create our circumstances by virtue of the way we move and whether these movements come from the love that we are or come from all that is not of this love.
Something we can easily forget is that the sun is always shining behind the clouds. No matter how much mud is hurled at Serge Benhayon it will never dull his light because his unconditional love shines for all equally – including the mud-throwers.
Thank you for sharing Elkan. My family and I are currently visiting Morocco and the Moroccan people are some of the most generous we’ve ever met; everywhere we’ve stayed and in almost every interaction my family has been welcomed as their family, and they have been outstandingly kind and open-hearted. Serge Benhayon has this same trait – he treats everyone with absolute respect and love as if they were his own family, so to say he is anti-Semitic is absurd and ridiculous.
Don’t you love when things are said, sensationalised and twisted without research these days, the name for that is journalism. Then you run off with the story and think that it’s the actual account of what happened. Then you have the truth show up that shows everything that was said was pretty much rubbish, well they got the names right. Here is another example and claim that was made about Serge Benhayon and yet the truth of the matter was completely the opposite. When will we stop falling for the punchy headline or dramatic claim and go back to how it use to be, you get the real story straight from the ‘horses mouth’. Dig a little deeper into all the dramatic claims made about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and you will see the truth or you can run off with the circus. I never really went for the circus, too many clowns.
Just because something has been written down or printed does not make it truth. Even research studies can easily be falsified. The question is how willing are we to read between the lines and actually get to the truth or do we simply just accept things at face value because it is easier to do? It does not take much to get to the truth we just have to be willing and open to seeing it in full.
We play around with all manner of facts and figures these days. Usually it will come down to your perception of how things are if you don’t do some homework yourself. As we are saying “read between the lines” and what do you see, most people will see it but then be tagged by doubt or by the dramatic headline. I love the truth because it is the only thing that happened at the time and when you hear it or feel it you are at rest or settled within your body. It doesn’t charge you to do anything but allows you to make your next move. I remember in my old job people would tell you all manner of things but as has also been said before you don’t just “run off with the circus” you’d take you time and listen to everything. You would always get a great sense of the truth. With a little more investigation you would uncover the whole thing, if you cared enough that is. The world has lost it’s way with truth and it’s no ones fault, it’s all our responsibility. The next time someone gives you a story or you read one, don’t just run off with it, do some research, ask more questions and if something still doesn’t look straight then you aren’t at the truth of it yet. Do this part and it supports the whole part, for us all to start not only seeing the truth but living it.
So well expressed Ray, thank you for sharing – I totally know what you mean about the truth when you say: ‘when you hear it or feel it you are at rest or settled within your body’. I know for me anything less than the truth leaves agitation in my body, whereas truth brings a content and complete feeling. It may seem a subtle difference with words but when felt fully in the body it seems like worlds apart, even with the smallest untruth/ white lie there is a massive difference.
We have become use to feeling the untruths or numb to feeling the truth at this point. We are living in a way where anxiety is common place and hence when you are presented with something it just adds to the multitude of feelings you are already feeling but not acknowledging or dealing with. It may sound complex but it is simple, if at any point you don’t feel something is ‘right’ then stop and at least acknowledge that and take care how you share it next. This awareness will support you to see it more deeply. This is an ongoing process that you apply to everything. If you don’t want to be asleep when bigger things arise then wake up to the little things.
Words to my heart Ray. It is not always about saying something to another person but seeing things for what they truly are, if the space is there for it then call it out to the other if not then simply calling it out in your head reduces the power it has. I know for me the more I do this and the more I choose to be aware the more I see and so the more I understand life, and the less anxious or worried I become about things.
What is the biggest way we can ‘talk’ about something? Words are great yes but from young I have always been moved by someone living something in front of me. We have a saying that’s apt for this, “actions speak louder then words” is how I remember it and it’s so true. Most of us can say all manner of things but less are able to back up what they ‘say’ with consistent action. From experience, if you want to pull someone up on something be clear in what you see and live that clarity in your every day, we are all watching and this always has a massive impact.
I know exactly you mean Ray – it is a little bit like your dad saying not to drink or smoke when they drink or smoke. So live what we know is true and then no words will be needed.
We can say all manner of things to people and or children and it’s not that we don’t care, its the opposite actually that we do deeply care. Our intention maybe for others not to follow our mistakes or into what we consider harmful ways because of how it feels to us at the time. But we don’t see life as a series of constant movements, we see parts or where we have arrived at different points and some we ‘like’ and keep and others we ‘don’t like’ and try to loose them or forget about them. We try and have more points or moments in our life we like or we carry these as a memory of how it can be but rarely do we apply how we moved to that point across everything else. Instead we have a don’t do this list that is long and usually detailed and a do list that is usually pretty general and short. What we are saying here is that there is no list, no like or dislike, no start and stop, it’s all the same point. So if at one point you are telling someone not to do something but doing it yourself you, by movement are actually showing them the way to walk to the very thing you don’t want them to do. It may sound complicated but everything as has been said is a movement and the only way to lead someone out of something is to lead that way yourself first and then this gives them sight of steps to walk in.
I fully agree – it is leading by example rather than words. So often when we are in something no words can actually help us but rather the reflection of love. I know for me being held by absolute love without any judgement ignites the love within me. Whereas being told something without that basis from the person comes across as words and I usually resist it.
Unless we live in the utmost respect for another who chooses to practice or follow the religions we have today there will never be brotherhood on earth. Serge Benhayon continually inspires me to live in a way where I embrace everyone no matter what religion they belong to.
Elkan, I feel privileged to read this article, the horror your family has endured, that you, yourself have been intimately privy to is one of the greatest horrors on earth. Yet, you feel it and hold it as a part of you, whilst letting your commitment to mankind guide you in sharing as you have through your film “L’Chaim! – To Life!”. A guide to us all on how our own personal integrity cannot be ‘damaged’ by life. If we are not living from our own integrity, it is a choice we have made, not something thrust upon us.
What’s more, he presents it with a level of love, equality, transparency and understanding that is sorely missing in our religions. Until we fully embrace that we are ALL EQUAL sons of God, the world’s conflicts will continue.
Serge Benhayon has taught me more about religion than any church, vicar, tutor, RE class, newspaper or commentator. He presents an absolute truth that the whole world needs to hear. Our current landscape of religion is a million miles from truth and the decimation caused by the hands of the world’s religions is testament to that.
Serge Benhayon is truly a Universal Man, and through the lived example of his equal love for all, redefines what it is to hold all in love that truly reflects the Divine.
Elkan, your documentary “L’Chaim! – To Life!” is well worth viewing and no surprise to me that it won the audience award for best documentary at the Film Festival in Mainz, Germany.
War has long-lasting detrimental effects in many ways, which this documentary clearly exposes.
A beautiful testimony for Serge Benhayon. “I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.” Me also – in all the nine plus years I have regularly attended Universal Medicine events in the UK and Vietnam all I hear Serge present is to listen carefully to our inner heart and to our body – and act accordingly. Serge speaks truth, which not everyone wants to hear. .
I have known Serge Benhayon for 7 years now. I have heard him speaking in countless occasions. I have never ever heard any pejorative comment towards Juddaism from him. Having said that, and coming from a Jewish background myself too, he does not shy away from the truth regarding institutionalised religion. These truths, the world needs to hear.
Evil thinks it can hide but not for long. Serge Benhayon exposes things that some don’t want exposed and then you get the retaliation, but we need to get behind what is true and bring truth to the fore as you have done here Elkan.
I can absolutely second the notion that “I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.”. Thank you Elkan for this blog and for your documentary.
Elkan, thank you for writing this article outlining all that is true about Serge Benhayon. He is a true teacher and philosopher, bringing us all back to the wisdom we all know deep inside. It is love that he brings, and in that is no speck of anti-semitism or any other critisiscm or discrimination for any religion or anything for that matter.
Thanks again Elkan for sharing your story and also that of Serge Benhayon, who is definitely not racist to any race or person. It takes a lot of love to accept all people for who they are, and Serge is definitely leading the way in that area.
“To say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife”. I love this analogy and it is so true. Serge Benhayon holds all people equally, irrespective of who they are. This is as obvious as daylight.
““Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” Absolutely Elkan it is absurd, end of story.
Indeed Elkan, when your religion is the lived outplay of your inner-heart, there can be no racism, prejudice or judgment, only the openness of seeing all as one.
Well expressed lucindag. Serge Benhayon is bringing back the truth to religion and lives it in full from connection to the inner heart where separation in any form is impossible.
Any separation through culture, religion or ethnicity or anything else that divides for that matter is something that can never ever offer any true good for humanity. Only love can.
“. . . to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” I love how you have so openly expressed what you know to be true Elkan, which proves how fictitious these attacks on Serge are. I have also never heard Serge say one word that was racist, sexist or discriminating. He embraces religion in its truest sense and he does not judge anyone for their beliefs about anything or the way they choose to live.
So gorgeous Elkan, a celebration of truth and brotherhood in all that you write and stand for. As is the case with Serge Benhayon, an extraordinary man with a love for humanity that is so immense it leaves some whose hurts run so deep questioning if this love is for real — which it absolutely is.
“All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments.” If we all lived like this governments could, as you say Elkan, “save billions of dollars for their Health systems.” There are thousands of people throughout the world whose health and wellbeing has dramatically improved from putting into practice The Way of The Livingness and as they undo old habits they no longer create problems or issues, so life becomes joyful and free. Why would anyone in their right mind want to try to undermine such an offering?
Thank you for the absolute authority with which you debunk the myth that Serge Benhayon could be in any way anti-semitic. As you say the real question is what is the hidden agenda behind those who choose to make these totally false claims as a way of attacking him and all he stands so solidly for.
Serge is the least judgmental person I know, so to suggest that he is anti-semitic is simply absurd. Ask anyone who knows him, be that his best friend or the bank manager, and they will all testify to his absolute integrity.
For someone to accuse Serge Benhayon of being anti Semitic must come from a reaction and a separatism. Serge Benhayon is pro religion in the entire sense of the word – and has brought me an understanding of what religion is when it is coming from equality and unity.
“Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” I chuckled at this – absolutely spot on!
Thank you Elkan for sharing all you know from a lived experience. I have been a student of Universal Medicine for 10 years and all that Serge Benhayon presents is not anti anything but pro choosing The Way of The Livingness that lives in harmony with all.
It is actually quite hilarious to hear that Serge Benhayon was accused of being anti-semitic! It is a complete joke! But at the same time for someone to be serious about such an accusation, shows how some people can twist or misunderstand things in a way that suits their agenda. The non-hilarious part in this is the fact that such misrepresentations can cause much damage to someone’s reputation and that is what the intent is with the rumours. Hence why such rumours need to be exposed for what they are – they need to be cut and stopped. It is not ok to spread lies, and certainly not about people. And they have picked the wrong person to spread lies about!
You speak with an authority and knowing of Anti-Semitism in your body from your lived experience that cannot be argued or denied, so I cannot help but repeat your question and wonder what agenda someone would have to have to make false claims like this when the truth of the opposite is undeniable.
I absolutely agree Elkan, the health ministries of every government of every country could benefit from listening to the presentations of Serge Benhayon. They are in crisis because peoples health is reaching or has reached crisis levels, and yet we are seemingly powerless to stop the trend – or are we? Serge presents how we can reclaim responsibility for our health and for how our well-being impacts on so many others. It’s not rocket science, but it would save billions
“It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too.” – This is a great summary of the presentations by Serge Benhayon and what Universal Medicine truly is about.
You dont have to spend very much time with Serge Benhayon at all to realise he does not ever engage in racism or sexism or any kind of discrimination. Quite the opposite.
I enjoyed this blog and now have your documentary to look forward to as well!!
I one-hundred percent agree with your points about Serge Benhayon, he has never been racist, sexist or denigrating to other religions in my presence and I have been attending talks for 12 years. Serge has however been refreshingly honest about the depth of the lies we have collectively allowed in institutionalised Religion and the separation that can be caused by over identifying with our race or cultural back ground. This is not to say that you don’t honour from which you came but rather Serge presents and reminds that we are all the same and all equal no matter what our heritage may be. Presented is the concept that the energy behind thick culture and religious beliefs was possibly put in place as a way to divide us, Serge reminds us of our brotherhood on earth, he reminds us we all have the same blood, no mater what country we were born, we all have the same heart, not matter what religion we were raised with, imagine if we all knew this to our core, our World Wars possible could have been avoided. I am grateful that we have a world class teacher like Serge Benhayon presenting and reminding humanity of these truths on a daily basis.
How common is it that when we don’t understand or like something that we attack! Those who attack Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are actually also attacking themselves. When someone is presenting some challenging truths we all have a choice: we can take heed or we can ignore what we have heard and been shown. The problem is that no matter how much we defend our positions and try to block out what we are hearing and seeing, the reality is that there is still a part of us that registers the honesty and truth of what is right there in front of us. No one, especially Serge, is suggesting that everyone blindly follow Serge but if we are willing to be open minded, there is an enormous amount to consider about how our choices impact on the lives we are living. These considerations apply universally regardless of our backgrounds.
It is true Elkan, when you spend a short time with Serge Benhayon it is easy to feel the love he lives. Love does not separate its love according to faith, colour or race, it just loves. It is the polar opposite to love that can define someone by their race, creed or colour and that is clearly what we have here.
That is absolutely the real question Elkan, why would someone try to vindicate a man who contributes to humanity in the most amazing ways, tirelessly, lovingly, in a way that few of us would think is actually possible. Is it because the reflection Serge Benhayon offers brings up how far we have walked away from this true way of living? Is it that he rocks, simply by his presence, the comfortable stupor some of us have chosen to live in and it’s not so pleasant to have exposed back to us what we’ve actually chosen? And then it’s easier to shoot and blame and try and destroy that point of light that’s shining on us — because that way we don’t have to take responsibility for the lie we have chosen to create and live.
This is a powerful blog Elkan coming from someone who has a background that has developed a finely tuned radar to detect when something isn’t the real deal, especially around anti-semitism. The corrupt power growing from the discontent of one person who drew in others who weren’t prepared to be discerning themselves has led to a momentum where lies and irresponsibility abound. However, stronger than this has been the way Serge Benhayon and his family have stood in the face of these attacks and the group force of the student body and others who personally know and support this family, knowing that such allegations are lies. I know that in the end truth will prevail but what does it say about the detractors in the first place that allegations of this nature were even raised?
This is a great blog Elkan, it is crazy to see how all those lies that are created about Serge Benhayon have totally no foundation to stand on. And as you so rightly say you are definitely the one to debase this one in full, there is nothing in Serge that even comes close to ridiculing anyone.
“Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” – it is that ridiculous. It says far more truth about the minds that are trying to concoct and peddle these lies than it does about Serge Benhayon. These are not stable or even coherent or make any sort of sense but then it also exposed just how much non-sense the world has been built to support.
A totally credible and substantiated testimony to the integrity and work of Serge Benhayon.
Thank you Elkan for very clearly sharing your experience and setting the record straight.
Elkan I loved reading your blog and the lineage of Serge Benhayon. I was not aware of the film that you made and will look it up and watch it. Serge is a testament to his workshops and presentations and the way he lives every day. He does an enormous amount and the love and support he offers everyone surpasses anything I have ever witnessed.
I love that Serge Benhayon has such a mix of cultures in his ancestry, and also that he is totally respectful of any choices that people make when it comes to their religious beliefs and culture. His religion, the Way of the Livingness is one that applies to all of us, no-one is excluded for any reason except by their own choice.
And if The Way of The Livingness is not your personal choice, you just walk away – no questions asked, no problem; unless you want to create problems, spread lies and make up whatever you think is going to give you some satisfaction and quell the jealousy.
Absolutely Gabriele, where did this ‘entitlement’ to abuse, something you don’t agree with, actually come from?
Great question Elkan why would anyone want to do something like that? Thank you for writing this blog, I find it incredibly sad that so many articles have had to be written to counter lies but boy oh boy am I pleased you have.
I agree Lucy – it never ceases to amaze me when I hear the false and unfounded lies against Serge.
Another myth busted. Thank you Elkan Spiller.
It is as far fetched as saying the earth is flat to even think that Serge Benhayon could possibly be anti-semitic. It is a fat lie. The hidden agenda behind lies is to manipulate and gain power over equal brothers. Supremacy energy is what I would call this and it is that energy that caused Anti-Semitism in the first place.
Well said Felix, that’s exactly what it is.
Via its history, especially from the Nazi times any time anti-Semitism is mentioned it will stir up the situation with emotions. It is important to discern if those who talk about anti-Semitism really intent to break its consciousness or just make use of it as a very powerful weapon to spoil the reputation of others.
Elkan, this is a really beautiful article. Your words are genuine and deeply heartfelt. Thank you.
It’s ridiculous that this statement about Serge Benhayon being anti-semitic even needs to be refuted, as it is very clearly not what he lives. Again, the bastardised comments of a small corrupt few allow the internet and media to be polluted, and thus we must stand and correct their lies. Thank you Elkan, for displaying so clearly the ridiculousness of what has been put forward against Serge Benhayon, once again.
To make false accusations to create doubt in people’s minds when they feel the truth – This is a crime against humanity of the highest order!
I have never met anyone who is so totally free of any prejudices and judgements like Serge Benhayon. He sees people for who and what they are and not for what they do on the surface. His integrity and loving understanding and support of everybody he meets is absolute to an extent that lI have never encountered in anyone else.
I will second that Michael — it makes the flagrant accusation of anti-semitism even more ridiculous. If it wasn’t so deliberately vindictive and downright evil it would be a pathetic and ridiculous joke.
Serge Benhayon sees humanity as it truly is, as one.
And additionally, Serge Benhayon does not have any ounce of self-need or drive in any of what he presents, supporting him to have to open hearted view and approach he takes to all of life
Elkan, so beautifully shared – and I love how you have said that to accuse Serge Benhyon of antisemitism is on a par with accusing the pope of cheating on his wife! It is ridiculous to that point! For someone to make such a statement about Serge Benhayon, something so blatantly and obviously invented as a lie, it goes to show that they are grasping at anything they can to attempt to throw mud at a man who holds so much integrity and love for humanity that no mud can stick to him.
I agree Henrietta, most of the lies spread about Serge Benhayon are laughable in their falsity, and do highlight the desperation of those spreading them.
Spot on Amelia – it is sad indeed when someone turns to utter lies and falsities to try to bring down another. Especially when this ‘other’ is someone who has offered so many others the opportunity to change their lives and live more of the love that they are. Serge Benhayon has been there as support for thousands of people, he holds such integrity and wisdom and warmth in his heart – you would have to be really lost or disconnected to not see or feel this.
I so enjoyed reading your blog Elkan, so informative, insightful and wise.
Serge Benhayon’s openness to people of all cultures and religions is very inspirational, he has no affiliation with any one religion. However he does have an affiliation, dedication and commitment to the Way of the Livingness, Truth and Love. How awesome is that!
Elkan I can confirm that in my 11 years of attending workshops and private sessions with Serge Benhayon I have never heard a racist or sexist or anti-semitic remark. Maybe that is why the outrageous lies had to be fabricated – there is nothing factual to complain about.
Thank you Elkan for your informative and truthful blog on the anti – semitism levelled against Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Those who know anything about the teaching of The Way of The Livingness would know how ridiculous these claims are, and know absolutely nothing at all of the teachings of Serge Benhayon or the man himself.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
I very much agree on this Elkan, and not only what is wrong with that person but how come that we in our so called modern world let such deeply harming false accusations stand without trial?
Thank you Elkan for speaking out about anti-semitism and the film “L’Chaim! – To Life!” is a powerful reminder of the very long term harm that still affects so many today. To falsely accuse someone of anti-semitism in an attempt to cast a slur on the reputation of another exposes the depths that the perpetrator will sink. Serge Benhayon treats, and invites all of us, to treat each and every person as equal, not by what they do but as the inner being that we all are but that so many have disconnected from.
Elkan thank you for standing up and exposing the false accusations and lies made about Serge Benhayon. By stating and presenting the truth with such absoluteness and rightful authority you have clearly showed how it not possible that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic. A great question you ask in the end, as when someone uses lies and falsities to attack another in this way, there is clearly always a sinister game and agenda at play, especially when the truth is obviously there for all to see.
Why are lies believed and truth has to be proved? There is something seriously amiss here in how we are living as a community. The absurd thing is that what Serge presents is for everyone, there is no bias or prejudice but a true openness, warmth and love of humanity that is possible for all of us live in this life but many prefer to ignore or make up lies that continue to support a way of living that is despicable by nature and keep us all entrenched in dogmas that are no longer true.
So simply said Elkan, and there is the power of truth in its simplicity.
The truth is always simple. It has to be. If it is complicated, then it isn’t the truth.
It’s true to exclaim, “what is wrong with these people that they would seek to harm Serge Benhayon?” There is nothing about Serge that treats anybody in a less than equal way. He is extraordinary in this and from my own experience all these negative claims ring very hollow and false.
Elkan these are powerful and clear words about your experience with Serge Benhayon which I share with you as I too be a part of the student body and have experienced on my own body the power of taking my responsibility for my health. I too have never heard Serge Benhayon speaking about anti-semetism – all the accusations are pure lies. Elkan I very much like your film “L’Chaim! – To Life!” and I hope this film will be seen one day in every class room around the world so that everybody can see that a war is not over when there is freedom.
There is such strength in this testimonial, thank you Elkan for bringing Truth and Clarity.
A great expose of the falsity of those who call Serge Benhayon anti-Semitic. The ridiculousness of their claims is apparent and certainly begs the question – what is their agenda really about?
Elkan Spiller is a man who can write on anti-Semitism with great authority. This is both the authority lent by academic study, and perhaps more importantly, the authority of his life’s experience. Anti-Semitism is no joke, it is not a term to be bandied around lightly because it is a serious issue that has devastated a group of people and indeed a nation.
To use it as part of a grab bag of insults to serve a hate based agenda is not only pathetic, it also detracts from the issue when it is really taking place.
Such is the short sightedness of the people who make these allegations – they cannot see beyond their hatred to the harm they do in society.
Thank you Rachel and ottobathurst. I agree completely with all you’ve both said.
Deborahmckay – I don’t think there is any sane person out there who would’t agree – her malicious and grossly offensive intentions are so crystal clear.
Elkin it is great that you have exposed such ludicrousy and can do so from such awareness and authority on the subject. It is a shame that false accusations need addressing due to the media not doing their homework on a truly remarkable man who’s reputation they are happy to tarnish to sell a sensational and emotion stirring story based on lies. Thank you for setting the record straight.
“I know what I am talking about when it comes to Anti-Semitism, or more colloquially: I can smell it from far away and never hold back when it comes to exposing it.” Elkan this is so true. If you have lived and felt the truth then a lie is easily exposed. The people who choose not to feel the truth are lost in the illusion and they can go either way with agreeing with the truth or the lie. Either way these people are the ones that get hurt the most because if they start to protect or invest in their choice without living and feeling their choice then they need to create more lies to support the first lie. Whereas the person who lied knows they have lied and the person who has lived and felt the truth can, as you have said “smell it from far away”.
Elkan, what you ask is a very important question:
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
Most of our comments on the blog sites are personal experience and about life itself. But life also encompasses also a bigger picture – how we relate to each other on a social, religious, economic, national and international level. How we relate to each other globally. Our global relationship is actually a sum of the relationship to ourselves and those around us. We are all interwoven and influence more than we believe. Serge Benhayon teaches internationally and the participants of his presentations and workshops are spread worldwide and are from all different cultural, national and religious backgrounds. How does it come that they all agree on what is presented? May it be that there is a deep truth in what Serge offers?
Who better than yourself Elkan, a man of such wisdom and understandings on these matters, to expose yet again, the insidious ease with which false lies and claims can be made. Like you, I will always stand for truth.
A wonderfully strong blog, authoritatively saying it how it is. Elkan, if there was anyone to put the record straight on false claims of anti-semitism, it’s obviously you. Well done.
Hi Elkan, yes that is indeed a question -what is wrong with someone that writes absolute lies about Serge Benhayon, one of which about antisemitism you have put to rest with absolute clarity in this blog. It was very interesting to read how and why your radar was so finely tuned to anti-Semitic behaviour and how closely you have worked with Serge on your film, “L’Chaim! – To Life!” Congratulations with it’s success and on this blog and speaking clearly and powerfully as you have.
Thanks Elkan , Serge Benhayon is definety not anti sematic . Just another part of the abusive smear campaign by a few cyber bullies with there own personal vendetta as the agenda here.
Ok so I had to use the dictionary to find out what Anti-Semitism meant…
Glad I did I had no idea, although you would have thought if I’ve been attending Universal Medicne events for 7 years – a great friend of mine who is Jewish, then this would have come within them in that time period yeah. If there was any chance this was being presented by Serge Benhayon the people attending would have been up in arms.
A great testament, Elkan, to the veracity and equal-ness with which Serge treats everyone. He holds no one greater or lesser than another, whatever their colour, creed, gender, age or nationality.
Yes Jonathan, this is the beauty of Universal Medicine, it is all encompassing. Serge Benhayon does not discriminate between ‘them and us’. We are all on the journey back to ourselves.
“I’ve seen many world teachers in my life but Serge Benhayon lives what he talks.” I totally agree Elkan, I have also seen many different co-called world teachers but none with the integrity and love that Serge lives. I have observed Serge for over 11 years now and like you, ‘I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating’. Quite the opposite, Serge is never imposing or judgmental on any one, he only ever encourages us ‘to listen to our inner most and express our truth’.
I totally agree with you Anne, the “integrity and love” that Serge Benhayon lives by is second to none and that he walks his talk is what inspires so many others to look at the quality of their lives. He presents the truth as he knows it with no expectations but with a deep and genuine caring for the physical, mental and emotional welfare of everyone whose life he touches. A true world teacher.
To accuse Serge Benhayon of anti-Semitism is truly insane, as you correctly point out. It is an act of desperation and abysmal lostness, looking for the next best thing to pin on someone who is minding his own business and doesn’t have an anti-anything fibre in his body, but who doesn’t hold back exposing what is not of truth. Which some obviously can’t stomach, so they try to bring the person down. Thank you for setting the record straight.
Yes Ariana, and a much needed step it is. People need examples on how to stand up for truth and love. No more cowering to the bullies!
I was raised Jewish, my family are quite devout and in fifteen years of close association with Serge Benhayon have I never experienced him, or any Universal Medicine teachings, as anti-Semitic in any way whatsoever. These accusations are uneducated and empty.
These accusations are intended to create turmoil and disturbance in the student body, but because we as a student body have not only improved our health, but also our clarity of thought and action, we as a student body do see what is behind these accusations and are taking proper action to make an end to these baseless expressions of slander.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
Good Question… Because maybe that person has chosen to avoid love in his life too many times before. And now it is easier and non exposing for him to hate rather than to change.
Great question to finish off with Elkan, what is the hidden agenda of those bringing forth the false accusations of Serge Benhayon being anti-Semitic? How far from the truth are their accusations? Very far indeed and as usual based on no facts whatsoever.
The lies about Serge Benhayon being anti-Semitic, discriminating or sexist are so opposite to the truth of what he teaches and lives: equalness and love.
The claims made against Serge Benhayon are absurd as what is being said against him is that far from the truth it isn’t funny. I have never seen anyone hold everyone as equally as Serge does, it is a pleasure to witness.
I agree Elkin… The real question arising from the anti-semitic accusations against Serge Benhayon is what is wrong with the people making these claims?
Serge has taught us all to discern for ourselves through the connection with our heart or inner-most the truth regarding all teachings or religions: whether it is Judaism, Christianity, Muslim, Hindu and even his own. There is truth to be found in all and bastardisations of the truth can be found as well when people interpret the teachings from their minds rather than their inner-heart. The problem has never been with the masters but the way in which they have often been interpreted.
Thank you Elkam for your testimony. At no time, since I am part of Universal Medicine, have I felt, heard or read any kind of discrimination towards anyone. On the contrary all the teachings point toward the oneness of humanity. Serge Benhayon breaks down the barriers that keep us separated.
Thanks Elkan , for telling it as it is and exposing the smear campaign of lies and false accusations .
As kevin McChardy so eloquently said “Serge doesn’t differentiate between any religion, race, creed, colour or age, he treats everyone equally with the same love and respect.”
This has been my experience of observation over many years of listening to presentations from Serge Benhayon.
It’s beautifully written Elkan. You show this suggestion of anti-semitism as the non-sense it is. Like you my experience of Serge Benhayon is, he is completely lacking of prejudice and judgement. In fact, in knowing Serge you quickly get to see any reservations you might hold against other people and how they are false. This is truly remarkable. Here’s to Serge, the truth, and to life.
Great article Elkan, It is very clear that you stand for the truth, I find this very beautiful and inspiring.
Serge doesn’t differentiate between any religion, race, creed, colour or age, he treats everyone equally with the same love and respect.
One day, some of these words; race, colour, creed, class…won’t even exist.
Elkan, such a powerful blog and statement of intent, calling out a falsehood against Serge Benhayon, made even more powerful by the fact that you know what anti-semitism is. There is much we can learn from Serge Benhayon, and the truth of the ridiculous claims of anti-semitism is that someone does not like what he presents and wants to ensure that he is dismissed by applying a label many of us consider (rightly so) abhorrent. It’s a very calculated form of attempted censorship, and says more about the accusers than anything else here.
Thank you Elkan for your truth, honesty and exposing the lies which are so easily made against Serge Benhayon. As you clearly ask, what is the agenda behind the campaign to harm Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and his family? Is it possible that there is much to be lost by the many, if the truth was to be known by all?
Such a clear article Elkan! Thank you for sharing your story. For someone who has been through some horrific experiences and who is still able to see straight through to the lies and sensationalism of some very serious allegations is testimony to Serge Benhayon and is family. It just simply is not possible for any of the un-truths written about Serge to be true. Your final question that points us in the diretion of the accusers of such awful lies is possibly a good place to start in uncovering some truth.
There is so much beauty in what you share Elkan. The only person who cannot see and feel such beauty is one who feels ugly and cannot accept they too can connect to this beautiful way of being and living, in their life too.
So true Suzanne, you have to really dig deep to ignore the beauty of what is shared here, you have to willfully choose to ignore it. I love what Elkan has shared and how he’s exposed the ridiculousness of the claims made – those claims just expose the accusers not those they accuse.
Elkan, thank you for writing this article and further exposing the lies that have been said about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. You do have to wonder what is wrong with the person that makes such harsh accusations. You have summed up Serge Benhayon perfectly in this paragraph… ““All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices…..”
Such a powerful statement of truth, thank you Elkan. I love the simplicity and clarity with which you describe the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, “…a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments…..that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too.”
Thank you Elkan for setting this straight. These reproaches of antisemitism are absurd. What Serge Benhayon is sharing is always presented with a love and holding that is equally for everybody, regardless of religion, race, gender, or whatever else. What in my opinion causes all the reproaches which are made in his direction is that he is never holding back and always presenting the full truth, a truth that for many may be so confronting to look at, that they prefer to construct the most absurd lies about him instead of looking at what there is to be healed and cleared in their own lives.
Thank you Elkan for laying it totally bare that these lies and accusations about Serge Benhayon are just that — lies. I have only ever heard many many times, Serge speak of and share his absolute love for humanity, expressing so beautifully the immutable truth we all know but may not abide by, that we are all equal regardless of race, rank, profession. The teachings of Serge Benhayon should definitely be studied by governments the works over, a whole load of problems and struggles would subside if they did.
Thank you Elkan for such a powerful and truthful article.
Great article Elkin, I too have heard many presentations from Serge Benhayon, and every one advocates for non-separatism and the essential unity of all humans. It is living less that that brotherhood that arises so much misery and disease in the human condition we see today.
Elkan, your finishing question sums it up, what indeed is wrong with the one making these untrue accusations of antisemitism – this reflects more on them than Serge. These lies told are merely a diversion for someone to avoid looking at and dealing with their own issues. To do so is vile and especially to use a form such as antisemitism which is so vile and undermines what is truly antisemitic by polluting our understanding of what is truly antisemitic by making these false allegations.
Absolutely Monicag2. This false allegation is an insult to all who have experienced antisemitism. And absolutely defamatory to lie about Serge Benhayon in such a way. Perhaps we need a documentary on cyber-abuse Elkan and the profound impact this has had and continues to have on society today.
Kylie, yes what a great suggestion for Elkan to document the profound impact cyber-abuse has on society. Society would be blessed if Elkan were to bring his skills and dedication to this subject in the way he’s brought our attention to the continuing impact of the Holocaust.
Clearly Serge Benhayon is not anti-semitic; Elkan Spillar absolutely knows what he is talking about and wouldn’t shy away from calling it if it were there. I, like many others here, think he ends with a great and very pertinent query – ‘The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?’
Absolutely Fiona. What is the hidden agenda? And what is the drive to fabricate lie after lie to discredit Serge Benhayon, a deeply loving and caring man who brings love and deep integrity to everything he does.
What is the hidden agenda to harm and destroy Serge Benhayon? A man that shows nothing but deep genuine care and love for humanity and dedicates everything he does to humanity. It makes no sense what so ever and it is extremely disturbing that this has been on going for over two years.
I have never heard the expression ‘like the pope cheating on his wife’ it made me laugh out loud- it really sums up how rediculous any anti-Semitic claims against Serge Benhayon as he is one of the most open, all-embracing and loving men living, and teaching, in the world today.
I agree completely Elkan, Serge Benhayon embraces all of humanity without exception he absolutely lives what he presents and is no different offstage or on. This is in stark contrast to many presenters I have experienced in the past whose onstage persona is very different from what they embody offstage. The defamation of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine does a grave injustice to those defamed, and also the wider public who my be robbed of the benefits of his work by such prejudicial lies.
Well done Elkan for standing up against these accusers. Their false lies and accusations against Serge Benhayon have no foundation whatsoever. No-one deserves to be treated this way, least of all someone who lives with complete integrity and love for humanity and has dedicated his life to such. As for your film “L’Chaim! – To Life!”, I have watched this and found it very a poignant reminder of the legacy of the holocaust. Thank you Elkan for standing tall and claiming your truth for us all to hear.
Yes, I absolutely agree Sandra. It is wonderful that Elkan is not holding back, expressing his truth and sharing his story for us all to hear.
Serge Benhayon is man of true integrity, who is continually helping others, and a role model of the highest qualities for thousands, why would anyone want to attack him? It is a very good question that you ask Elken of what is wrong with the person and what is their hidden agenda to hurt Serge Benhayon?
All I can say Jonathan is that their hidden agenda must be very dark and sinister to want to harm a man like Serge Benhayon, a glorious humble man who stands for nothing but love and truth in all that he does.
Elkan you leave no doubt that the anti Semitic accusations directed at Serge Benhayon are nothing but vicious lies. It is wonderful to hear about your experience and the support you have received from the Benhayon family and Universal Medicine.
The work Serge Benhayon does and continues to do will not be impeded in anyway by the insecurities of others. Through all the cyber bullying that has happened over the last few years I have witnessed that Serge has not wavered in his stance or his commitment to what he is here to do. What an inspiration!
Great article Elkan and I totally agree Serge Benhayon is living a life filled with Love.
I have seen your movie Elkan and the powerful message it delivers… with all your experience, background and education,this gives you the authority to speak on such matters, in this case antisemitism, with truth and clarity.
I have seen your movie Elkan and the powerful message it delivers…. with all your expereince, background and education this has given you the authority to speak on such matters, in this case anti-semitism, with truth and clarity.
Wow, I was not aware that Serge Benheyon was accused of “Anti Semitism” I think I must have been under a rock when this all came about. I have to be honest and say I don’t even know what Semitism is. Guess this gives me a lot of room to research the meaning and come to an understanding of the word. Thank you Elkan for bringing this to my attention on something that I didn’t know even existed.
Your sharing is very touching, Elkan. I have seen your movie and I know how much you’ve been dealing with the aftermath of the nazi-regime. If someone can speak up for Serge Benhayon not being an antisemit – which to me definitely is not needed to be proven – that it is you.
A very fascinating story Elkan, I would love to see your movie. It is great to read your support for Serge Benhayon and his family, they certainly don’t deserve the attack they continue to receive.
Your “real” question Elkan is very apt and relevant, it would be very interesting to know the answer.
Thank you for the wisdom and understanding you bring and for shining the light on Anti-Semitism.
Brilliant Elkan, thank you for sharing. Your line comparing the accusations of Serge Benhayon to the pope had me a bit baffled for a second, then I finally got what you meant and found it hilarious and so true. I too have never found Serge to be denigrating to anyone and is always so respectful. Choice of religion or race or sex never really seems to change the way Serge interacts with people.
Indeed what is the motivation of someone who would say something as clearly false as that Serge Benhayon is anti-semitic? And as you so rightly point out try to destruct a student body that has formed itself from the basis of healing their health problems and living in a beautifully responsible and non-imposing way – all to better humanity and where it is heading. It is truly bizarre the campaign against Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Elkan, my background is similar to yours only I grew up in Australia. I am so grateful to find Serge Benhayon who lives and presents religion as being a way of living from the inner-heart. No dogma, doctrine, rules, rites, rituals or prejudice; there is nothing to learn for if we connect to ourselves, all knowing is within us. I celebrate the richness and wisdom of my background but I also celebrate the freedom to be responsible for my own choices.
If you meet Serge Benhayon you would only feel an absolute love and simplicity he has for everyone, so how anyone could make up lies that Serge is anti-semetic is farcical and offensive. All this exposes to me is the ridiculousness of the lies that people are willing to go to without any reason or understanding. Serge is from an old jewish family he has no reason to be anti-Semitic, people should at least try to get their facts right before accusing people of things that are way too far fetched to believe.
Thank you Elkan for a beautiful and powerful article full of truth.
Elkan you write with such power, authority and love, it brings tears to my eyes, tears of joy, thank you.
Thanks Elkan, I have never heard an iota of anti-semetism come out of Serge Benhayon’s mouth either. My experience of Serge Benhayon’s teachings has been an invitation to connect with and build a relationship with myself and from there, the greater world around me.
What a wonderful and powerful blog, Elkan. Thank you for presenting so many great truths which refute all the absurd lies told about Serge Benhayon recently, with regard to Judaism and Anti-Semitism.
Very powerful and true blog Elkan. Thank you very much. Yes, you are absolutely right: Accusing Serge Benhayon with his Jewish heritage to be anti-semitic is utterly ridiculous if not absurd. Are Esther and Lance running out of stories? It seems that they try every angle to fulfill their goal to bring Serge and Universal Medicine down and do not shy away from even the most absurd accusations.
The absolute love and integrity Serge Benhayon holds for humanity is beyond words. Why indeed make such appalling accusations.
So clearly exposed and I love the line “It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife”. Sums it up for me! And I’m inspired to watch your film. Thanks Elkan.
Well said Nikki, I love that too. Anybody saying that Serge Benhayon has done any of the things that he gets accused of is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife – totally fabricated – to what end? It simply does not make any sense at all, and never ever will.
Thank you Elkan. And great question you ask here – “what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” You really have to wonder the state and agenda of a person who goes out of their way to to deliberately cause harm to possibly the most humble, accepting and beautiful man I know.
Elkan, thank you for writing this. It is one of many stories I have heard of the many and varied projects that Serge Benhayon and his family assists. No, in the 4+ years I have been attending Universal Medicine events, I have never felt a hint of a bias towards – or against – one culture. We are Universal and the whole point is to live and accept all equally. This is a concept that to truly live is deeply profound and each and every aspect of our society would benefit exponentially by knowing this.
Thank you for illuminating the baseless and false accusations leveled at Serge Benhayon. Anyone who has met or had any dealings with Serge Benhayon knows that he is absolutly accepting of all and has a true love for all people. And yes, the underlying question of what is to gain from the people who continue to make up these false accusations?
In the four years of attending workshops and inspirational talks I have never witnessed anything anti-semetic about Serge Benhayon.
A foolish accusation to make about such a truly deeply loving man that delivers from the inner wisdom sourced within himself.
Nicole, indeed as with all the accusations that have been made. Having heard Serge Benhayon present many times there is simply a consistent depth of love, understanding and appreciation of everything. Never any judgement and certainly nothing even remotely anti-semitic.
I have only learned about Antisemitism from my year 10 History class but from the knowledge that I have been taught and from knowing Serge Benhayon, it is a very big accusation to say that he, Serge Benhayon, is Anti-Semitic.
Very true Elkan, Serge Benhayon and his family are inspiring role models, both individually in their own lives and communities and as a family.
Elkan – thank you for sharing the facts about your personal experience and dealings with Serge Benhayon. Like you – I know Serge to be of Jewish heritage and all embracing of such religion. He is very respectful of people’s choices and to accuse him of being anti-semantic can only come from
Someone who has not had the privilege of meeting him.
Thank you so much for writing this Elkan, your simple way of writting allowed me to feel just how precious the teachings of universal medicine are and just how alive and living they can be in the way we choose to live our lives. I really love the line where you write about the teachings.. you say ” It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices”. I have come so far since studying the teachings of universal medicine and feel like I have come from a place of crippling self doubt and confidence to a place where I am now really taking responsibility for my lifestyle, my choices, and my way of living everyday, and it is indeed giving me a strength and foundation of power within my life.
Thank you Elkan. Since I was a child I have known that the love and true connection that is between us all is above and beyond any culture or religion I had seen exhibited on earth. Now we have ‘The Way of the Livingness’ – which holds the true meaning of religion for me – one that is inclusive of all.
Great blog thank you
It only take a moment to see and read or listen to anything produced by Serge to know that these desperate accusations are not true. So while, I agree with your final question Elkan,I would also ask, why are people so quick to jump to a conclusion and allow themselves to be mislead by such an obvious lie?
Thank you Elkan for this powerful blog – Serge Benhayon does live what he talks and if we have the willingness he is a true inspiration.
Thank you Elkan for your educational and revealing article, and sharing your experience, and the many clear and strong points.
The Benhayon family have been and continue to be nothing but supportive to everyone they come in contact with including myself.
Great article Elkan, my experience of Serge Benhayon is the same – I have never heard him say anything racist, sexist or discriminating in any way and you so very clearly have a strong marker for this as well. As you said you can “smell it from very far away and never hold back when it comes to exposing it”
What Serge Benhayon presents comes from pure love and to suggest that he has anti-Semitic views is absurd. What is presented is that we all have a choice and self- responsibility for the choices we make, nothing is ever dictated, no opinions enforced upon another. Thankyou for exposing the lies and questioning the real nature of those expressing those lies.
It can not be said more clear. Nothing to add, it says it all.
Elkan Spiller your article as we say in England is absolutely water tight.
What a great blog, thank you.
I love the closing paragraph, I wonder the same thing, what is wrong with these people that write such lies.
Good question to end on.
It’s so lovely they have supported you with your film – the Benhayon Family are so loving, caring and supportive. Consistently and constantly. In my 5 years of knowing them this has always been the case.
Serge Benhayon truly loves all humanity, including those people whose twisted goal is to ‘bring him down’. There are far too many people from all nationalities, religions and walks of life who know this truth about Serge for the abusers to ‘succeed’. When will they realise this and stop wasting their lives in their sordid persuit?
Maybe their hidden agenda stems from their own lack of love and true community. So because we reflect this they only know to retaliate with vicious lies and hurtful words as a way to harm.
You have summed it up so simply and so beautifully Kelly. I totally agree that this group is driven to retaliate in such a vicious way by; “their own lack of love and true community”.
I agree too Kelly and Ingrid, it is “their own lack of love and true community”. It is interesting to note that when these accusers are presented with someone who is living his truth and the the opportunity is there to choose love for themselves, they choose to harm instead, and that can only mean that they have a deep fear of looking inward at themselves for what they might find.
I absolutely agree to accuse Serge Benhayon of anti semitism ‘is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife’. It is absolutely absurd, and indeed the question should be asked what is the person’s agenda who is making these horrific accusations. Thank you Elkan for speaking up so clearly.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” Two very important questions, Elkan, as the force coming through the accusations feels like the same force that came through the Nazi’s. The accusers are the ones who need to be held up to the light and exposed for what they really are.
Thank you Elkan for sharing your history with Serge Benhayon ,
That was lovely to read and a confirmation of how I know Serge Benhayon to be. They way you spoke of his support and walking his talk is exactly how I would put it. Serge Benhayon has the most integrity that I’ve ever seen and inspires me to also live my life in such a loving way.
Thank you for high-lighting with your depth of experience the truth about Serge Benhayon. From the micro to the macro Serge is the real deal when it comes to everyone being equal, without exception.
Elkan, Everything you have said about Serge Benhayon is pure truth. Those who de-cry the atrocities of what has happened in the past need to take a long hard look at the hurtful and harmful remarks they make.
Thank you Elkan. It is wonderful to read a blog written with absolute authority about anti-semitism and to clearly state that Serge Benhayon has never even ventured into this arena. I have known Serge personally for fifteen years and have also spent many hours in his company at various workshops and retreats. I still find it extraordinary that Serge Benhayon is consistently able to hold every single person he comes across or speaks of as an equal – no exceptions, ever.
Thanks Elkan for standing up, exposing the lies, and correcting the record back to truth about Serge Benhayon.
Exactly, when we look in the papers and watch the news, every day there is more and more atrocities, and correct me if I am wrong they are only getting more and more horrendous each day, “it is loud and clear that the way Serge Benhayon lives, and all that he and Universal Medicine bring to the world is exactly what is needed.” I couldn’t agree more Jane.
Well done Elkan for writing the truth about Serge Benhayon, a man who has so much wisdom and love to offer all of humanity
One of the principle foundations of Universal Medicine is Everybody is equal regardless of race. Its’s one of the first things that attracted me to Universal Medicine and by looking at the cosmopolitan students I would say it is valued by all. Serge Benhayon’s a multiculturalist as truly as the Pope is a Catholic.
The support of Serge Benhayon for so many people is something rare and to be highly valued. Thank you for giving us another tangible example of the true man Serge Benhayon is.
Elkan you have confirmed so beautifully what I, and anyone who has listened to Serge, already knows, that Serge treats and loves every person equally regardless of religion, age, sex or nationality.
.
Attacking someone with false accusations is exactly what Nazi Anti-Semitism was about; it’s the same display of hate towards another.
So true Fumiyo. Accusing Serge Benhayon of exactly the abuse they themselves are perpetrating. Lies, bigotry and scorn.
Elkan, you present with complete authority on the subject of Anti-Sematism and the truth in your words can be deeply felt.
From the hatred, devastation, suffering and separation of the Holocaust to the loving, understanding, compassionate and uniting Way of The Livingness Presented by Universal Medicine. If there was ever a generation that had clear examples of the real consequences of the choices that we make, it is this one.
Thank you Elkan Spiller. Crazy that someone would even suggest Serge Benhayon would make an anti-semetic comment. Yes, I have often heard Serge talk about how the dogmatic tendencies of many religions actually are not a true representation of what the word “religion” truly means when you understand the origin of its meaning (which is simply to “rebind” or “reconnect”), but never have I heard him criticise jewish people for being jewish. Crazy, when you understand the true philosophy that Universal Medicine presents – that all in truth are equal energetically, it is just that as humanity we do not live that truth.
Thank you Elkan,I also stand behind you, I too have had the pleasure of being at many of Serge’s Presentations, Hundreds of hours, he has always treated everyone with the same amount of equality, Man, Women, or religion. All sons of God.
How wonderful Elkan to have somebody so well informed on the subject of anti-Semitism and especially well attuned to it in its more subtle innuendos and unconscious forms. You without a doubt have authority to state unequivocally Serge Benhayon has once again been falsely accused and as Alex Braun so astutely said – yet another inflammatory accusation thrown at Serge to incite reaction and moral panic. Will be looking out for viewing opportunities of “L’Chaim! – To Life!”
As you rightly say Elkan – governments should be looking to Serge Benhayon for help with the increasing rates of disease. He certainly has helped many, many people that I know of, and I am sure there are many more.
Very true Heather, Serge Benhayon has supported and inspired 100’s of people back to healthy vital lives, myself included. Universal Medicine is based on common sense, down to earth wisdom that offers us all very tangible tools to restore our health. In an era when disease and illness is increasing at an alarming rate, governments would do well to ask what is going on in the corner of the world, where people are bucking the trend in health statistics because of how they are living.
Hear Hear Elkan Spiller! I completely stand behind you with all that you say. A grand read- one I was very much looking forward to. The joy in the photos are beaming!
Anyone who attends a presentation by Serge Benhayon will know that he is a wonderful man of integrity and connects with everyone equally through his love that he holds for entire humanity (regardless of religion, race, etc.) I would love to see your film one day, Elkan.
Elkan, I hope I get to see your film one day. Your story makes perfect sense to me as someone who has also witnessed Serge Benhayon present at many workshops over the years. He has remained consistent in his messages about all humanity being equal and that we each carry responsibility for the choices we make. Serge definitely ‘walks what he talks’.
After many years of listening to presentations by Serge Benhayon , he has always and treated all men / women equally no matter what race, religion or creed . The teachings of the ageless wisdom are testament to the fact that we are all equally true sons of god. Thank you Elkan for your article and great film.
Written from the true authority and grace of a man who knows, beyond question, the truth about Serge, and the truth about anti-semitism.
Thank you Elkan.
Awesome Elkan to hear you express with so much authority of what you have studied, lived and know to the depth of your bones. Your blog has inspired me greatly in many ways and in particular the love and appreciation you have of Serge Benhayon and family as true living role models. Thank you.
Thank you Elkan, nobody is better qualified than you are to put this vile accusation of Serge Benhayon being anti-semitic to rest. It is indeed as you say, as far fetched and ludicrous as purporting that “the pope cheated on his wife”.
What is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon? is a question worth considering – to accuse him of being anti-semantic is ludicrous, but not a statement to be taken lightly. Such a false accusation casts a dark judgement over Serge Benhayon and the many people who hold him dearly including his family and the self formed student body of Universal Medicine.
The Holocaust is a topic that always deserves the upmost sensitivity and should never be used to serve a personal agenda.
Thank you Elkan for putting the record straight, Why would someone with jewish heritage be anti-semitic it does not make sense to me. It is amazing what lies people will make up about others without any facts to substantiate their claims. Anyone that has heard Serge Benhayon speak would know this to be an absurd lie, he is the most non judgemental person I have ever met.
I appreciate reading and learning more about the different walks of life the students of Universal Medicine are drawn from and how the ‘universal’ teachings strangely, speak to all. I hope your film promotes much healing. Thank-you Elkan.
Thank you Elkan – A great account of what you know to be true and as you say – what is the hidden agenda to harm SergeBenhayon, a man who lives what he talks.
Thank you for your blog Elkan. I would love to see your movie. It is bizarre that Serge Benhayon has been accused of being anti-Semitic – as you say it just doesn’t make sense. Fundamental to the Universal Medicine teachings ( and what we can all feel) is that we are all one, all equal, and our blood is not jewish, catholic or any other religion.
Thank you Elkan for this honest and strong blog. It makes crystal clear that Serge Benhayon is not Anti-Semitic in any way. So why this lie? It seams to me like there are lies after lies put into the internet like seeds, to see if one will grow. They are like spam-weed. We have to cut it out by the roots. Well done here!
I agree Sandra there are many lies spread in the Internet about Serge Benhayon-none of them are true or have any foundation. Thank you Elkan for standing up to speak the truth about Serge Benhayon that he has nothing to do with Anti-Semitism.
Oh I love this Sandra. Spam-weeds attempting to choke out the roses. It is the voices of all people claiming truth, people like Elkan Spiller, that pull these weeds out by the roots.
I agree this is beautifully expressed, Sandra. The spam weed that was planted here suggesting that Serge Benhayon is anti-semetic has definitely been uprooted by Elkan. The truth speaks for itself.
Thanks Elkan, you ask “what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” ..for me the answer is simple… I too felt the resistance to the possibility that someone might hold a key out of the mess most if not all of the world is in…sometimes its easier to swim in muck than to admit that is where you live.
Thank you Elkan for your article. Serge Benhayon invites us to all go deeper than any culture, race, colour or creed and feel the connection we all have with each other.
This is all about love and equalness, nothing less.
I too have known Serge Benhayon for 13 years and although I have attended dozens of his presentations over that time, have never heard him anti-anyone based on their religion, culture, gender, race, or any other factor. Certainly he speaks truth about corruption going on in every sphere of life, including every religion, however these are necessary exposures and many people have been discussing them and trying to bring them to light for many years.
Thank you Elkan for sharing this powerful blog.
One indeed must ask what the hidden agenda behind these false accusations can be as Serge Benhayon definitely is not antisemitic. Most probably it is the fact that he is speaking truth and through this is exposing what many people would prefer to remain hidden so that they could follow their – more often than not – loveless agendas without having to take responsibility or being exposed as what they truly are.
Thank you, Elkan. Your very personal and honest account of your experience and knowledge of Serge and his family in regards to anti- Semitism is of great help to dis-empower the lies that are spread by others about it.
Another false accusation about Serge Benhayon?!!! Thank you Elkan for sharing with us your educated view on this false accusation. Serge Benhayon’s message is all about LOVE, serving humanity and that we are all equal. Is this so hard for people to accept that this is so needed in the world today. Why do they insist on bringing Serge Benhayon down?
Thank-you for sharing this Elkan, a person who truly knows what anti-semitism is and for speaking out about the false accusations against Serge Benhayon. As you state Serge has never tried to hide his family background. I am with you in asking the question “what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon”
A heartfelt sharing coming from one who knows first-hand the harm and damage that happens when a person attacks another with untruths. A true and simple account and explanation on anti-Semitism which shines a bright light on the injustice being perpetrated against Serge Benhayon. I too, support the question – “The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
Simple everyday language that anyone can understand, thank you for laying down the facts so clearly
Brilliant article Elkin, loved it – thank you…And yes – you are someone who can actually comment on this subject matter with genuine credibility and hence, true authority…
A simple FACT that I can attest to on Serge Benhayon “I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.” Indeed, Elkan, what is wrong with those who make these false accusation about Serge, and what is their hidden agenda?
What more needs to be said. Beautifully stated Elkan, and from a man who certainly has the credentials to make such a statement.
And thank God for Sege Benhayon.
Dear Elkan, Thank you for your story and claiming your truth against the ridiculous. I wish to see your amazing film one day.
Elkan you asked the question at the end, “what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” The same thing that was wrong with the people who crucified Jesus. The same madness. People who go against the flow of humanity.
That’s right Concetta, what is wrong with those making the false accusations is the same energy that defended that the world was flat and that the earth was the center of the universe. Those who want power for themselves, those who want life to follow their beliefs, those who live in illusion.
Well said Concetta, It is a form of madness that shapes Humanity in main stream.
But i for one stand firm alongside my fellow brothers and sisters that make up the student body in reversing the flow of this madness.
This is a touching and heartfelt testimonial to the truth and integrity of Serge Benhayon and the great love he has for all of humanity. There is not a shred of Anti-Semitism or anti any race or group of people in him, only love for all.
The allegation of anti-semitism is not different to those of sexual grooming, money laundering etc. in the sense that another tender spot in the consciousness of our society is misused to stimulate dismay and mistrust against Serge Benhayon.
If it helped their agenda, those who have made these false allegations would probably blame Serge Benhayon for running over a holy cow in India in a past life or some other nonsense.
Your comment exposes the sheer ridiculousness of the false accusations about Serge Benhayon, Alex. Whatever will they come up with next that will waste time, money and distract humanity from seeing the true worth of Serge Benhayon.
It’s a pretty terrible state of affairs, when people can say anything they want online, about decent people like Serge Banhayon, and legally get away with it because of online anonyminity. It’s great to see the facts about this issue, which highlights how outlandish this smear campaign really is.
Thankyou so deeply for this sharing. Allows me to see what sort of things are said to Serge Benhayon which just simply aren’t true whatsoever.
Indeed Elkan – ‘what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon’? Isn’t what is playing out, history repeating itself? Does humanity know true Gold when they stand in front of it?
Thank you for addressing a terrible period in history through truthfully expressing what you felt. Thank you for confirming Serge Benhayon is the ‘real deal’ … it is lovely to read of the consistency in his life that you have noticed and his steadfast ability to walk the talk. Your work is very valuable.
Thank you for this. Shame on anyone that makes such appalling accusations. In the papers today there have been stories of survivors from Auschwitz. The horrors they saw and what they went through are unimaginable. Serge Benhayon is one of the most genuinely caring people I know towards others. For anyone to say such a thing about him it is indeed a very low stoop to take and makes me wonder about their values in life, which much be extremely poor, to think that this is okay.
I agree Vicky, to make such shockingly false and harmful accusations shows a deep disrespect for the real harm that came out of anti-semitism
Love it Richard, so funny, so true!
Serge Benhayon is the furtherest from any thing racist or otherwise. Anyone who meets or listens to him present will know the truth for themselves.
Absolutely true Richard! Labels such as anti-semitic often create separation, and in all the time I have known Serge Benhayon, he has never presented or reflected anything other than absolutely equality and equal-ness.
I have been to many presentations conducted by Serge Benhayon and I have only every heard him speak of various religions with the deepest respect. His depth of understanding on what religion is is extraordinary. There is no anti-anything in his presentations, just an absolute love for all equally.
To acuse Serge Benhayon as anti-semitic is beyond ridiculous, it is so far fetched. Serge sees and holds everyone as equals. As you say Elkin the real question here is what is the hidden agenda to harm this deeply caring loving man.
“Living the religion (relationship) of his inner-heart, expressed for all as the Way of the Livingness.” Where would the world be if we all simply lived this relationship…not from our hurts but from that inner-heart, where there is equality and true love for self and others.
Anti-Semitism, Racism, Sexism and many other ‘isms’ could not exists…and they don’t exist in anything I have seen Serge Benhayon present or live.
I agree totally with Elkan and the comments already written. To say that Serge Benhayon is Anti-semitic is absurd. Serge treats us all equally no matter what our background or our race, because he knows that everyone’s essence, including his detractors, come from love.
Thank you Elkan, so clear and concise. Serge Benhayon is all about unity, equality and brotherhood, it’s all about a quality of energy that we share, which is the love we are as soul. In the 13 years I have known him never once (and trust me I watched him like an eagle) was there any supremacy views expressed, always the facts and he always stood to be corrected if there was another way that made sense. Quite the opposite with his accusers, as none of what they say make sense and it comes from a high authority looking down in judgement. The same stuff that incites racial prejudice, religious crusades, gender bias all that lets us treat another and their rights as a fellow human being less than what we would treat our self.
Aside from the brilliant and powerful words of Elkan. Aside from the factual evidence. Just look at the photo of Serge Benhayon and his wife with Elkan and his wife. Does this look like a man who hates Jews? It’s so disgustingly ridiculous that these vile lies are being spread. It sickens me that one person’s agenda can ride rough-shod over so many people’s lives. Calling anyone Anti-semetic is a massive and serious accusation. To do so without one single shred of evidence, without one single thought of the repercussions, without considering the huge offence that it would cause is a hideous display of gross selfishness and utter lack of responsibility.
Yes Otto, I totally agree. Living with Elkan, him being a second generation holocaust survivor, and knowing Serge for 6 years now, I have been witnessing the support that Serge has given Elkan every step of the way. The support is that of a man who loves everyone regardless of religion, background, lifestyle. It is indeed a display of gross selfishness and utter lack of responsability to accuse him of Anti-semitism.
Serge Benhayon holds everybody equally. He also holds himself equally to everyone else. Consequently, there is no anti-semitism or racism when he speaks, ever.
Thank you so much for this clearly written blog. I can write the same about Serge Benhayon like you have. Serge never ever be imposing with religion!!! It is absolute the opposite – with him I was able to feel free and with that feel what true religion is. Now I can say I am a religious person with no agenda and this I love very much.
Yes Ester, I can also say that I am a religious person as my Heart is forever my guide and I Love my connection.
Simply stated ‘truth of the matter’. Thank-you Elkan. Clearly you are nobody’s fool, and someone who does not hold back calling out anti-Semitism in any way, shape or form. As you rightly question, just what is going on that someone would make such ridiculous allegations? Allegations, which from my relationship with Serge for about 14 years now, make no sense to me either – whatsoever. Clearly there are those willing to hurl any form of mud they can come up with, at one single man, regardless of any semblance of, or respect for, the truth of the matter.
Serge Benhayon has opened my eyes in so many ways in the past 8 years, my way of being in relationships has changed. Recognising that we all come from Love and will return to Love no one is left behind, all are equal feels so right especially seeing Serge and his family plus the Universal Medicine Students living in this way is beautiful.
Well said Roslyn, Serge is all inclusive – ‘we all come from love and will return to Love – no one s left out’. This is the essence of what Serge is about – returning to Love. Thank God for Serge Benhayon is all I can say on the matter. How in the world could anyone deduce Anti-Semitic language from anything Serge speaks about is beyond my wildest imagination.
Serge Benhayon teaches acceptance of all, rather than just tolerance of another with differing beliefs. Not only does he teach this, he lives this! As a few people have mentioned, he is not ‘anti-anyone’.
Elkan, your sharing here is supported by your own experience and studies and strengthens the rock solid truth that we know about Serge Benhayon. Let’s face it, he has cast away what it is that keeps us entrenched in the beliefs and ideals we are wedded to; ones that cause division in the smallest way and vile hatred in extreme. And are they not truly the same, just different contexts? Serge Benhayon has revealed the the truth about what is missing in our humanity. It’s called Love, in it’s most universal expression and it is longed for by ALL.
“…to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.“ great – RIGHT TO THE POINT!
Well done Elkan, for setting the record straight. It’s absurd to claim that Serge Benhayon has any anti-Semitic views. He is what he presents….an equal uncompromising love. I love what you wrote about his work here: “It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too.” This is the amazing inspiration he offers to us all and I for one am absolutely blessed to know him.
Serge Benhayon is one human being that the whole world could learn from. His openness and love for all is amazing, no matter what colour or creed they are.
Thank you for standing up against the lies about Serge. It’s unfathomable to those who know Serge, his presentations and all that he embodys, that someone could make such false remarks.
The presentations I have experienced from Serge Benhayon are applicable to everyone and open to anyone who wishes to choose so. I have never experienced any favouritism toward any culture, nationality, race or ethnicity in any of the talks I have heard from Serge and was most surprised to read of such an allegation, being very out of kilter with the loving message that is consistently given.
Elkan, your are known for standing up for the truth where ever it is ignored or dismissed however challenging that may be – and so does Serge. As much as Serge exposes untruth it is always about making truth accessible again and he does so with the deepest respect for every single human being and their choices. Never in 10 years have I heard him say anything that fosters separation, racism or supremacy and he treats everyone as an equal.
The authority in your sharing here Elkan is palpable…and your question at the end regarding the false accusations and hidden agenda is well placed.
In 9 years of attending Universal Medicine presentations I also “have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.”
How rare is that these days when so much is imposed upon people and we all frequently hear and feel words spoken we know are not true.
Serge Benhayon has the highest integrity of anyone I have ever met.
Another great testimony to the character of Serge Benhayon. When I first attended a lecture Serge presented, I was sceptical – it was about a deep mistrust having attended ‘spiritual’ groups and having been disappointed. Serge was saying similar things but actually had a way of speaking them to me that felt personal and true and there was nothing I needed to invest in to believe them. For a long time I agreed with much that was said, but remained mistrusting as if ‘this was too good to be true’. Gradually that mistrust dissipated and I came to realise that this man is incorruptible and simply cannot talk down about another person. As Elkan states, Serge lives what he says. I have only been able to let go of ‘too good to be true’, because I have been confronted with the fact that I also can choose to live like this. This may be confronting as we mostly do not practice what we preach, however it is greatly rewarding in its exploration that Serge and Universal Medicine presents.
Elkan your article gets to the heart of the matter. I too have seen Serge Benhayon and his family at presentations and workshops and in private sessions and have always observed and experienced the absolute respect and love that he gives to all. He is most definitely the living way.
What a great and touching article from Elkan who certainly has the authority to speak on this subject and yes really what is wrong with people making such false accusations? I too have the authority of having observed Serge living and presenting over many years to say that he does so in ABSOLUTE equalness for ALL.
What a brilliant blog power packed with truth Elkan. Thank you for sharing this with us all, and asking the all-important question on what is the hidden agenda of those who throw lies atSerge Benhayon who hasn’t got an ounce of anti-semitism or anti-anything in him for that matter. He simply shares a way of living based on living from our inner most essence — and it is that simple way of living that is being attacked by these false accusations.
I love re-reading this blog, especially in light of recent event that show that the attitude up healed by the Benhayon family, the Universal medicine team and on the whole, the student body, of treating everyone as an equal and respecting their chooses is a much needed way of living.
There is not a drop of doubt in me of the full authority you have to say what you are saying. I also come from a Jewish family background. Anti-semitic rethoric is one of these things that I easily register. In more than five years of knowing Serge Benhayon, I never ever heard anything that is anti-Semitic coming out from Serge’s mouths. If there is something clear it is that Serge is absolutely respectful of any choice we make and that he never ever tries to convince you of anything.
It is easy to dismiss accusations you know to be false or simply pass off as garbage, and that is exactly what doing that does – taking the easy way out. This does not stand for Truth. Thank you Elkan Spiller for so eloquently reminding me to the fact.
Powerfully exposed Elkan Spiller, and well asked what is hidden behind the false accusations directed at Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I have known Serge for over 8 years, he is the epitome of integrity and equalness. It is only through his ability to connect to another as an equal person no matter what their race, sex, religion, job, personal history etc. is he able to develop such incredible relationships, healing and all the amazing testimonials of people who have changed their lives due to his dedication to equalness in all. It is absurd as Elkan Spiller so rightly puts it “as the Pope is cheating on his wife”…Serge Benhayon an anti-sematic…as if!
Such a well – written blog. This was so easy for me to follow and I have heard about this film you have made and always wanted to know more so reading this blog was awesome! I really love the way you write, it so clear and concise – you are the kind of person I know I can trust.
Richard, that is a hilarious analogy.
What you present here Elkan is very powerful, Anti Semitism needs to be outed and exposed wherever it is, but for someone to accuse Serge Benhayon of Anti Semitism is one of the most ludicrous things I have ever heard. Every word Serge speaks every presentation he offers is to bring unity to the world and I know with every bone in my body he is not Anti Semetic and would stand up in court along with thousands of others who know him to show that this is not possible.
Richard this is beautifully expressed and so true.
This is absolute Truth Richard and sums up the integrity and great Love for everyone of this extraordinary, but yet very ordinary man – Serge Benhayon. As when you meet Serge he is just like you and me.
Serge Benhayon does not have an Anti-Semetic cell in his body. One just has to meet him or spend time listening to Serge speak to know this. Every time I hear Serge speak I am put at ease and any tension, confusion, or worry just dissipates.
I agree, possibly the best analogy ever to sum up how unlikely and far from the truth the accusations that Serge Benhayon is anti-semitic are.
Thank you for bringing the power from your lived evidence to the truth behind this false accusation about Serge Benhayon. It is regrettable that it is necessary, but your Jewish background and perspective provides a real testimony in the face of the abuse behind the allegation.
Serge Benhayon is one of the most non judgemental and compassionate human beings I have had the privilege to know. It is a true joy to know him and hear him speak and the utter wisdom of his words. Anti Semitic? Impossible – you cannot be that and have love in your heart for all, as does he.
So a man, Elkan Spiller, who is eminently qualified, both personally and professionally to comment on anti semitism, and who knows the person who has been falsely accused of being anti semitic, Serge Benhayon, both personally and professionally, asks a question that is directly relevant to those that falsely accuse Serge Banhayon, people who appear to know relatively little about anti semitism, and who have had relatively few dealings with Serge Benhayon.
‘The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon’.
This is a very apt question particularly, given the credentials of the man who posed it.
Absolutely Catherine. Elkan Spiller’s authority to speak about anti-semitism and Serge Benhayon puts him in a strong position to pose the real question that needs to be asked here:
What is going on in the minds of a person who makes these aggressive and false claims?
Yes, Catherine when you put the equation together like that it is easy to see that something doesn’t add up. How easy we can bandy around insults, false words and outright lies under the guise of legitimate “human welfare for others” but have a complete spin on the information presented. It’s actually quite sickening to see the truth so twisted by those with an a agenda.
I agree Catherine, Elkan has all the facts, credentials, life experience and maturity to comment on anti semitism, and to ask the needed questions of those who feel it is okay to make such false and misguided accusations.
Wonderful to read Elkan, your blog shows me that we have to live the truth and dedicate our life to it and to not accept anything less. The people you mention in your blog that are supporting you: Serge, Miranda, Michael and Natalie Benhayon are all examples for us from who we can learn how to do this in normal life. Now you have showed me this reflection too by your dedication to your film L’Chaim! – To Life!”. You are inspiring me too to start to dedicate my life to the truth and to stand strong for it.
Yes, the claim that Serge Benhayon is anti-Semitic is completely outlandish and utterly absurd – anyone who knows the man, or has even simply heard him present at one of his courses/workshops etc., will testify to this.
Serge talks with authority on different world religions, as he looks at them energetically, or from a ‘big picture’ perspective (tracing the belief systems, the intent behind their teachings etc.), and my sense is that his assessing of Judaism (along with all other major religions) is what has led to these radical accusations against him.
If anyone looks at the actual facts of what Serge Benhayon has and hasn’t said and written, it will be clear to them that such ‘anti-Semitic’ rumours are nothing other than the intentional attempt to manipulate public opinion into ridiculing and sabotaging the amazing True Good that Serge Benhayon lives and is bringing to the world.
Serge Benhayon is pure service to humanity and eternal love and I would trust him with my life.
Maryline I am absolutely with you on that one Serge Benhayon is absolute eternal love, pure undeniable service to humanity and I would absolutely trust him with my life. This man is love for all of us equally.
I could not agree more Gylrae, Serge Benhayon is impeccable with his love and service to humanity, which shows us what true brotherhood is all about. Thank you Elkan for the testament to Serge.
Serge is absolute Love, there is not one ounce of any disregard, racism, judgement or abuse of any one whatsoever – just absolute love, deep care and understanding of us all, and what is even more so amazing is that he loves and cares for us all equally, not one person more or less than another. I have never been met or held with such absolute love and care by anybody, it is with this that I absolutely know Serge would never speak ill of anybody.
I’ve never considered Serge Benhayon to be that race or this, or pro one race over another, just a brilliant man who shares a love for everyone with an equalness that is truly inspiring.
Absolutely Stephen, Serge Benhayon is a Universal Man in the true meaning of the word.
I agree Samantha, Serge Benhayon is indeed a Universal Man, he is a HUGE support to humanity in their quest for truth.
Absolutely Elizabeth and time will tell as we begin to see the huge foundation of truth he has set for mankind.
Yes Stephen. When someone lives ‘love for everyone’ as Serge Benhayon does, the question of prejudice simply doesn’t arise – at least for those of us who truly know that someone, it doesn’t.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
I guess to answer this question we can only scratch at the surface of the machinations of someone else’s choices. Suffice to say that I know I have attacked, judged and undermined others to avoid taking responsibility for my own hurts, agendas, habits and dysfunctional relationship with life. By attacking Serge Benhayon we are attacking the very possibility to arrest all our ill-patterns and turn the lost ship (the state of the world today) around.
I agree Matilda and I like your phrase “turn the lost ship”. I used to feel “all at sea” with myself before I heard Serge Benhayon’s presentations on life. From this I was inspired to make different choices and have quite literally “found myself” again. This might seem flippant or easy to say, but to have lived and experienced this huge fundamental shift is quite amazing. It has been a work in progress and takes a lot of self-effort but so worth it!
Definitely Rachel and it also takes a willingness to not give up on ourselves. If it wasn’t for the principles shared by Universal Medicine I would have been lost to a life of depression, bingeing with food and God knows what else. Now I know I am worth letting my joy out and I am worth feeling light in my body and that’s a much more enjoyable and energised person to be around than the lost road I was heading down before.
Yes Marilda, it is like the whole anti-semetism issue is a distraction, proved totally incorrect by this blog. I like the way you and Elkan raise the question of what the real issue is behind these accusations.
Serge has shown over and over that no matter where we come from, our heritage, our customs and beliefs, we are all equal and bound by the same Love that is within us all. Thank you Elkan for writing such an inspiring blog.
Great point Susan – it is ridiculous to accuse that Serge Benhayon is anti-semitic, when he has always shown the absolute image of caring and loving ALL members of humanity EQUALLY in his presentations and in his daily life
Thank you Elkan. for presenting the Truth about Serge Benhayon clearly and powerfully. In workshops I’ve attended and his books, Serge Benhayon repeatedly says that we are One, from the same source and connected to each other. He lives, breathes and works in service of all humanity. No one is excluded.
Hi Elkan, I agree with you, I have also attended Serge Benhayon presentations for five years and never heard any anti-semitism during his talks, Serge Benhayon is more about equalness for all.
Well said Alex, the more I reflect on it the more it is clear that out of all the people I know, Serge Benhayon is one who meets all equally regardless of what they have done or what they hold as their beliefs.
Great blog Elkan, Serge Benhayon being anti-Semitic is just laughable as he holds the same love for everyone, period, no exceptions.
Beautifully written Richard, this is a very true description, ‘Serge Benhayon expresses, teaches and lives absolute equal ness for all. He lives from a knowingness that everyone is in their essence the same.’
I agree Rebecca, beautifully written and well said Richard. The way Serge Benhayon lives and is with everyone is an inspiration for all.
This is a true testament to the Truth of Serge Benhayon.
Your closing questions are really important here Elkan. The evidence – not only in Serge Benhayon’s life or his immediate family, but in the rest of the Student Body – that living the principles presented by Universal Medicine works is huge in number. We now have hundreds, perhaps thousands of people sharing their experience of the impact and changes in their lives. Why would anyone deny this or try to bring it down? Surely in a world where the illness and disease rates are increasing it would be wise to study to the core what is being presented here about another way to truly live life.
Well said Shevon, the evidence is clear that ‘that living the principles presented by Universal Medicine works’, no doubt what so ever!
I agree Shevon. “It would be wise to study to the core what is being presented here about another way to truly live life” rather than attack what clearly is working for hundreds of people. It is apparent that so many students of Universal Medicine are bucking the current trends in terms of living with a greater love of life, vibrancy and vitality rather than what is now the norm, living with illness, exhaustion and stress. What is there to criticise about this?
Not just wise but it is getting to a point where it is necessary because nothing else is working and when you look, hear and read all the extraordinary changes in the students lives it can not be ignored any longer. There is no magic tricks going on or some kind of illusion – this is real people making real changes inspired by the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom through Universal Medicine presented by Serge Benhayon. How much suffering needs to continue before humanity realises this has to stop? There is another way with Love, Joy and Harmony truly exist.
“Surely in a world where the illness and disease rates are increasing it would be wise to study to the core what is being presented here about another way to truly live life” – well said Shevon, you are totally right as in my experience everything that is presented by Universal Medicine and how the self-made ‘student body’ look and live, contradicts every current world trend.
Very wise indeed Shevon. There is much wisdom to be gained from studying with Universal Medicine and many, many resolutions to our ills are lying within arm’s reach if we do so. Our health, economics, foreign affairs and international relations can all benefit immensely if we as individuals take responsibility for our lives. Universal Medicine offers us a model of living that can revolutionise our world, the question is do we want that enough or are there some parts of humanity who have a vested interest in maintaining poverty, war, corruption and ill health?
Great questions Rowena and super important ones for us all to reflect on. Sometimes it can seem easier to stay with the status
quo and keep doing what we have always done, but honestly this way is now killing us whether it be through how people’s bodies are breaking down with ill health, or through war, corruption, relationship breakdown and poverty. The way we have been used to living is not it and it’s not working. I wholeheartedly recommend Universal Medicine as a true reflection of a different and harmonious way of living.
I am brought back to this deeply moving and sensitive blog again and again, there is something about it that is so universal and cleansing. This time, reading about Serge Benhayon’s heritage of Jewish and Moslem faiths, and I know also he has an experience of Christianity, I realise how he is able to feel the connections between them at the deepest level of their initial central truth, and so now, while not practicing any of them, he has a deep understanding of all, and no prejudices against any religion of race. What he does for us is show us the whole, and bring through the single truth that lies under each of them, that Love is the consistent abiding and eternal energy of the universe.
Very true Joan – few people have such an understanding off the religions in a way that allows them to hold those practicing them equally without any judgement.
Yes, David and Richard, and I have always known it but never lived it up till now, or had courage to claim that truth. Now, experiencing the way Serge Benhayon presents the truth of “what is common in us all and what unites us” and “understanding all the religions in a way that allows them to hold those practicing them equally without judgment” I have been shown how to allow that knowing inside me to become increasingly part of a firm foundation from which I can express confidently and with respect.
Wow Richard, your comment is deeply touching and so true. Underneath any conflict, hurts, and seeming differences is a Love that unites us all. This is what Serge Benhayon stands for.
A powerful article Elkan and I support every word you say. The lasting damaging effects of war and man’s violence against his fellow man is everywhere. Both my parents were involved in WWII, they lost many friends and I could feel the hurt that they carried but they did not have the overwhelming and added problem of being persecuted just because of the family they were born into. Serge Benhayon is not anti- anyone, he meets and holds everyone with the same boundless love.
‘Serge Benhayon is not anti-anyone’. In fact Serge Benhayon is pro-everyone. His love for every single person on earth regardless of race, religion, culture or choices they have made, is beyond our total comprehension. What is felt always around him, his family and those that work with Universal Medicine is a willingness to openly receive and meet everyone. Come on, this is totally remarkable and yet made totally natural and normal by the Benhayons. Thank you, Elkan, for your clarity and authority on this.
So well said Matilda and I totally agree – it is totally incredible that the Benhayon’s and those that work with Universal Medicine make this a every day normal way of interacting with EVERYONE. This is amazing to see, be apart of and take with me to be the same with those all around me also.
I agree Matilda, indeed ‘Serge Benhayon is not anti-anyone’ as you said quite the opposite he is ‘pro-everyone’. Serge always manages to see and bring out the best in people and never once in the 12 years I have known him as he ever judged me no matter how silly the choices I have been making may have been. There are not many people I can say have done this except perhaps other members of the Benhayon family!
I agree Matilda, Serge Benhayon is so inclusive. I am always touched by the extent to which he ensures that everyone understands what is being said and the time he takes whilst the appropriate word is found in various languages
I agree Matilda Clark that Serge Benhayon is pro-everyone and in fact he is a role model of what is possible for us all to live if we choose. His openness no matter who is presented to him and his love for humanity is a study that some writer maybe interested in as it shows us a way forward that is possible.
The sheer volume of comments on this site clearly states that Serge Benhayon walks the walk and talks the talk and gives us all something – the potential to be the same quality he lives everyday and that it is possible.
Pro-everyone. That sums up Serge Benhayon Matilda. It has definitely been my experience. Serge Benhayon stands for what unites us and lives that. He walks his talk.
‘Serge Benhayon is not anti-anyone’, I wholeheartedly agree Matilda. His willingness to meet everyone with absolute equalness is so far from what we (society) are used to that we find it difficult to comprehend. There is no judgement, no discrimination just consistent acceptance of ALL.
“‘Serge Benhayon is not anti-anyone’. In fact Serge Benhayon is pro-everyone” Beautifully put Matilda. Thank you Elkan for setting the record straight here
So true Matilda. Serge really is pro-everyone. He sees the qualities that people bring and supports them to shine it. He is even graceful to the few bullies that anonymously attack and fabricate malicious lies about him and Universal Medicine. He doesn’t condone their harmful behaviour but knows that they too at their core are equal to him and can live their amazing potential if they so choose.
‘Serge Benhayon is not anti-anyone’. In fact Serge Benhayon is pro-everyone.
This is so true Mathilda, I don’t know anyone who holds everyone as his equal like Serge Benhayon does. When you are love 24/7 like Serge Benhayon is, being anti- someone or something is just not possible, it’s the opposite of what he lives.
Well said Mary and Matilda. Serge Benhayon holds everyone in the same equal love that he has for his nearest and dearest. This is a rare attribute and as Bina says, should be studied. The way Serge Benhayon lives his life is a living example that we are ALL capable of living. He has established a true bench mark of brotherhood that is much needed in the world. The love, wisdom, truth and dedication of this man is truly boundless and one day, we will realise that these qualities also lie within ourselves and we will know the true meaning of Equality.
Well said Mary and thank you Elkan for your powerful piece on the endlessly loving Serge Benhayon.
Elkan as you and others have re-iterated ‘The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?’ – for someone to suggest these things clearly shows they do not know Serge Benhayon as otherwise they would be saying how is it possible that someone is so open and non-judgemental of all religions?
I agree David, there appears to be a force driving behind these false accusations, but they are too weak to affect Serge Benhayon and his family.
Well said David, this is my feelings exactly – Serge Benhayon is so open and loving to every human being he meets, there is no chance of him having even the slightest thread of judgement against any ethnicity on this planet. He truly loves everybody, Full stop.
Elkan, your opening sentence “There is no secret that Serge Benhayon’s family has a Jewish heritage.” Made me say ‘Serge Benhayon has no secrets’. He is completely open and honest about himself. Those who have attempted to damage the love and esteem in which Serge Benhayon is held, by an ever increasing number of people, have found nothing but the truth of a man who loves all equally.
Mary, that is a powerful statement – Serge Benhayon has no secrets – and it is so true.
Considering Elkan’s background, his testament to Serge Benhayon’s integrity and lack of anti-Semitic characteristics is the most authoritative character reference one could ask for. Serge’s ability to treat everyone equally and without judgment or discrimination is an amazing thing that should be studied and simulated so that we can work past the old hates, jealousies and deep seeded beliefs that we can be separated by lines on a map, race or differences in beliefs.
I completely agree with you Rebecca. Serge Benhayon’s ability to treat everyone equally with love and honouring, without judgment or discrimination is profoundly inspiring and if studied and simulated would transform the whole of society.
Beautifully said, Rebecca; appreciating Elkan’s authority on this subject and Serge’s commitment to every single member of humanity is timely and worthy of further study.
Fantastic article Elkan, and I back everything you say. I have never heard Serge Benhayon be Anti-semetic, or judgemental in anyway, in fact he has more respect for mankind than anyone I have ever known. I fully agree with all the comments that say if a person is saying this about Serge then they do not know him, and I fully agree with your question: ‘The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?’
Presumably another straw for them to clutch knowing a gullible public will be aroused by the subject, Meg. Elkan has written from his own experience from his Jewish heritage a beautiful and moving article about a man who treats all equally and with utter respect. So it is unlikely to be lies, whereas an accusation from no experience has to be cooked up for the person’s own personal agenda.
There is such truth in the statement that Serge Benhayon “gets you into your own power”. He presents a way of living that offers you the means to take control of your own life. It is difficult to not understate the immensity of what is offered and difficult to understand why this is questioned in the underhanded way that it has been. What agenda is really playing out when the transparency on offer is clear for all who wish to see.
One more real question: In what world are we living where one or a few people can spread lies and harm others like they try to harm Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and get away with it or even get support from professional journalists who don’t do proper research?
The same world where anyone that has come along throughout history speaking the truth and with messages of love and a better way of living for all has met the same sort of resistant evil.
Great question Elkan. I feel we live in a world where lies and deceit are listened to more than truth. We are comfortable with the lies because they do not ask us to take responsibility for all the times we have not chosen truth and sat back and watched things happen. The problem is we have all done this with the exception of a few, and when these people stand up for truth they are then bombarded with all the lies to disprove them, to bring them down and to silence them. Serge Benhayon represents absolute truth and for many this is too uncomfortable and they would rather hide behind their deceit and lies than be honest with themselves. Journalist feed us what we want to hear, we prefer to hear lies that make a ‘good story’ than hear the truth and all the amazing things that can happen when we honour truth.
Excellent question Elkan – it seems the same world where the majority accept these lies and harming allegations as fact just because it is in a newspaper or on a blog site. Thank you for not becoming a part of this trend, and being one who stands up for truth, instead of just standing by.
“All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too. (Any government should know about these teachings, they would save billions of dollars for their Health systems).” I so agree Elkan. I have learned so much about self- responsibility and making choices since attending Universal Medicine events, presented by Serge Benhayon. He offers us a new view, which is up to us to feel into and take on board – or not – our choice.
Great sharing Elkan, thank you.
I confirm what you wrote about Serge Benhayon. And yes, as you said,
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
Your writing, like your film, delivers such succinct, clear, accessible facts, Elkan. A tribute to all that you have chosen, a fitting appreciation of Serge Benhayon and his commitment to humanity and a fabulous dissection of the monstrousness of the lies that have been told. Thank you.
I totally agree Matilda, you sum it up beautifully.
Kevin as you say Matilda sums it up perfectly. For anyone who reads this to still believe the lies, is madness itself.
I love this blog Elkan – so exposing of where the true hatred lies…. which is certainly not within Serge Benhayon but rather exists within those of us who are not prepared to take responsibility for our own choices, instead letting anger and hatred take control of us. When you write – “All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too.” – it confirms for me that this cycle of nominating our self-inflicted ailments and taking full responsibility for them is a freedom offered to all of us who choose it, by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Far from being prejudice or intolerant Serge presents this, day in day out, equally for all – even for those of us who are full of anger and hatred.
What a superb testimony Elkan, and so true in everything you say. If Serge is the complete antithesis of what he is absurdely portrayed to be, in living love and having the utmost deepest respect for every single human being, and life itself, then perhaps it’s the vast greatness of true wisdom he offers to reverse the subverted pattern of life up out of its sticky comfort and into clean truth, that’s just too much to stomach for some. Attacks are used as convenient deterrents and diversions that only do one thing – they expose the not wanting to see or deal with the gross error of our separated and irresponsible way from truth we’ve all contributed towards. And in dishing out dirt and evil, attackers remain unaccountable not taking responsibility…and the world remains in its status quo. Thank God for Serge Benhayon. Thank God for Universal Medicine and its students who stand firm and shake the foundations back towards true truth – the natural way of life.
Thank you a fantastic truthful account communicated with a well of experience and authority. As you say what Serge shares with the world is simple and a”… universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too.” This is all there is, deeply inspiring, awesome and very simple. Great question to ask why people are attempting to denigrate this truth?
Elkan if anyone has the authority to write about what is and what is not anti-semitic, it’s you. To even suggest that Serge Benhayon as being anti-semitic beggars belief and that there are people choosing to spread these ludicrous lies.
Elkan, thank you for bringing your authority and lived experience to expose so clearly the absolute lies that have been written about Serge Benhayon being anti-semitic. Nothing could be further from the truth and as you ask at the end of you blog, “The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”. This is where the focus needs to be – on those that persist in throwing out any old lie about Serge Benhayon in the hope that someone somewhere will believe it. A lie, is a lie, is a lie – the truth will always expose that as exemplified by your beautiful writing here Elkan.
Your power and authority can be felt in this article where you have experienced and called out the lies, Elkan. I have never ever heard Serge Benhayon saying anything disrespectful about any religion, he respects every religion. What he presents always is a consistent example as he lives from the way of his inner heart for us all to learn the Way of the Livingness.
‘I have never ever heard Serge Benhayon saying anything disrespectful about any religion’ – Neither have I Gill, nor has anyone for that matter… So why do some think its acceptable to lie and say otherwise?
Very good call Susie, why would anyone say otherwise? Very clearly a hidden agenda there, nothing to do with Serge Benhayon being anti – anyone, which he is not, as anyone reading this post or in their right mind would and could clearly feel and see, this is simply a personal vendetta fuelled by hurt and hate, and would say of their own choices and nothing to do with Serge.
As I grew up in Germany I am quite sensitive to Anti-Semitism as well. In Germany of course it is a very very important subject and we have a strong eye on it. I have known Serge Benhayon and the work of Universal Medicine now for nearly 10 Years and the idea of him being Anti-Semitism is so absurd that I thought I am reading wrong…
Thank you Elkan for your truly strong expression here – you are THE EXPERT! And thank you also for your absolutely amazing film “L’Chaim! – To Life!”! I had to go through many films about the Holocaust throughout my school days and never ever was I touched so deeply as with your film. It shows that the energy of war is not over after (the official) end of war. And this Energy – going against each other instead of living in brotherhood – is all around. I am very thankful to have met Serge Benhayon who is presenting that there is an other way, the way with each other – back to love.
Although I have never been a practicing Jewess, I can also say that I am very sensitive to Anti-Sematism because my mum is Jewish and a large percentage of my friends growing up in North London were also Jewish. I was sensitive to comments and abuse of others around where I lived, as well as feeling the insensitivity of others towards Jews in other countries around the world. Unlike you I am not a direct descendant of the highest and vilest form of Anti-Semitism, but I carried the sadness of the concentration camps nevertheless. I also have some experience of witnessing anti-sematic behaviour. To say that Serge Benhayon is anti-sematic is ridiculous.
Somewhere in our world we have been at war every second for hundreds of years. This is insane and leaves devastation in its wake. Hundreds of years on we still have judgment, animosity and separatism between individuals that come from countries that were once at war; either ‘victim’ or ‘perpetrator’ perpetuating the violence of ages passed. This is insane and is not solved by tolerance but by developing a true understanding that our evolution and liberation is in all of our hands, as one.
Matilda, well said. The focus on developing tolerance and/or trying to manage peaceful coexistence is clearly not the true answer. When we only pacify a situation, conflict eventually arises again. When we only tolerate someone or a group, irritation and frustration arise with the smallest provocation. There is another way to develop true harmony within us and between us, out of which real understanding and thus evolution and iiberation arise. That way is the The Way of the Livingness.
“Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.”
So true and utterly absurd accusations.
So true Alison – Serge Benhayon is just not interested in discriminating against others, but just in helping everyone he meets to be more, more of themselves, and more for each other.
Awesome sharing Elkan, a powerful testament to two honourable wise men. To accuse Serge Benhayon of being Anti-Semitism is absolute crazy. You have debased this evil lie by sharing with us your truth. Thank you for expressing this Elkan it is a story the world needs to hear.
Serge Benhayon is not anti any group, establishment, religion or person, full stop.
Elkan you are clearly an authority on this subject and soundly place the anti-semetism accusations against Serge Benhayon in the category of utter-rubbish where they belong.
The authority of your very real history and amazing dedication to the truth is not to be challenged or discredited.
A powerful read for me as it highlights that Serge Benhayon has never settled for anything less than truth. And, although some are out to destroy him because of it there is a much larger student body who have been inspired to live the same way – The Way of the Livingness. Thank you.
The world lives skewered, back to front, upside down and inside out, all tumbled, muddled and hurt. To observe Serge Benhayon stand up for the truth and stand in the truth without backing down, or apologising for it because it makes some feel uncomfortable is the most inspiring thing I have seen. And to do it with the upmost love, understanding and compassion is another added element all together. To witness this and see the possibilities of living this way just inspires me further to learn how to do this of myself. Serge presents everything about human kind that I had given up on ever existing. I had given up on the power of it existing in myself. To find it and see many, many others also begin to live this way has revived me back into life again, like a trapped bird that had been freed from its cage. To see true love in expression puts everything the right way up again. To attack Serge Benhayon for this is a nonsense.
This blog feels like an amazing testimony to the honour and wisdom of two beautiful gentle-men.
Dear Elkan, thank you, I have always enjoyed the way you express, straightforward and to the point with an honesty and absolute dedication to bring truth to the table.
Everybody can express the truth regardless of his education or heritage, included are the people who spread the false accusations and lies about Serge. It’s a choice available to everybody.
I agree – everybody knows the truth, and everyone can express it, regardless of language, eloquence and education. And the truth you have expressed here is enormously refreshing.
Well said Alison and well exposed of the lies written. Elkan has the authority on this subject which is the real truth and backs Serge Benhayon in his integrity and love 100%.
Beautiful to feel truth being so powerfully expressed….thank you Elkan.
Like your film Elkan, this article is overflowing with truth and bare facts. Thanks you for your dedication to this and just being you.
A very powerful article setting the record straight. Suggesting or insinuating that Serge Benhayon is anti-semitic is an insult to truth. Serge Benhayon lives and shares the religion of his inner-heart, expressed for all as the Way of the Livingness. The Way of the Livingness includes all humanity it is not anti or exclusive of anyone.
hear hear Mary it is an absolute insult to truth insinuating such lies about Serge Benhayon.
Well said Mary. Serge Benhayon is a man who walks his talk, sharing his way of being openly with all and as you say, is not anti or exclusive of anyone.
‘The Way of the Livingness includes all humanity it is not anti or exclusive of anyone.’ That is absolutely true Mary.
I know Elkan personally. He is not a man who says ‘yes’ for the sake of saying ‘yes’ or who goes with the flow, or is easily convinced. As can be seen from his education and research and authority on this subject, he is a man who challenges and questions and investigates until he’s absolutely sure of the facts; thus these words he has written are written with a power of that absolute knowing.
And they’re fuelled by the absolute consistency of love and support and equality that has been shown to him by Serge Benhayon. A love of humanity (totally irrespective of race, religion, creed or colour) that shatters into a zillion pieces the evil of these false accusations.
It is amazing to read these words when considering what has come before for Elkan and it is a magnificent testimonial of the life that he is now living and the support that he has received from Serge Benhayon and all of Universal Medicine. Expressed with absolute simplicity and lived authority. If anyone can smell Anti-Semitism then it is Elkan. No question. Thank you Elkan for this Gold and for standing true and strong in the face of these diabolical lies.
Well expressed Otto from your own true authority and love.
Your support and confirmation of what is true here, Otto carries an equal strength and equality. Thank you.
Beautiful blog Elkan – this is absolutely incredible: “I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth”, and I can absolutely agree. The people in society that we can say this about are so rare, with judgement and prejudice seemingly sitting around every corner – someone like Serge Benhayon should be respected, certainly not accused of being anti-semitic or in any way, shape or form degrading/discriminating. If you have attended any of his presentations, or had a conversation with him – you would know is 100% not true. To me, this shows that the person accusing him of these things does not know him, or as you say “what is wrong with the person who makes such false allegations”.
I completely agree Jess, well said. It’s rare we can describe someone to be completely without judgement and without prejudice, attacking such a person certainly does not make sense.
Absolutely Meg – the attack is then shown up to be false, as it goes against everything that I and many people have experienced of Serge Benhayon.
Jessica this is so true. If anyone met Serge Benhayon and truly met him and is open to him it is impossible to even think that he is anti-semitic.
I love how individuals are each coming with their own stories about how Serge has been there for them in total truth, but has never imposed a belief or ideal in any way shape or form. That all of his audience has grown organically through simple presentation of what is True…it’s just that more and and more people are choosing to listen.
I agree Phil, I am loving hearing so many peoples stories about how Serge Benhayon has inspired them to live a more loving and harmonious way. And as you said it is been ‘through simple presentation of what is True’.
I agree Phil, one mans testimony has sparked hundreds in the comments, people sharing there similar experiences of an equality and lack of judgement that they have never experienced before. So much love given to others is bound to form amazing friendships and this is our opportunity to express back.
Absolutely Elkin, so true, Serge Benhayon walks what he talks.
Thank you, Elkan for your presentation of truth. We have all ‘tested’ Serge Benhayon in our own ways to see if he is ‘the real deal’, and in the 12 years I have known him there has never been a whisper of judgement about any human being on this planet, only love and understanding, even amidst viciously and relentlessly attack by detractor energy.
And this is what I love about Serge Benhayon so much. More recently when I have had those whispers of negative thoughts and judgements towards others, I have paused to reflect on how Serge has always treated me with understanding and in a way that raises me up out of wherever I am, or the tunnel vision way I am looking at things … and then it has dawned on me that perhaps this is the way i can live with others, just offering understanding and wisdom as underneath the judgement there is so much understanding I can feel. We are all connected and this is why Serge does not judge because he knows, lives and breathes the fact that regardless of race, skin colour, nationality, religion, gender, social status, height, hair/eye colour, size all of those things that ‘make us different’ we are all one and the same and are from one God and are one Soul.
Well said Shevon – I love the realisation you have here from knowing Serge Benhayon- “this is the way I can live with others, just offering understanding and wisdom as underneath the judgement there is so much understanding I can feel”.
Serge Benhayon truly ‘walks his talk’ and reflects just how inter-connected we all are, with the all, at all times. Something I only dreamed of before, now I can understand and feel this as a reality.
beautifully said Shevon and I totally agree – Serge treats everyone exactly the same no matter where they come from and what they do, follow and present. With the love from his Soul for all – separation can not exist in this place only equalness.
That is so true Shevon, in the 12 years I have known Serge he does not just say the words, he walks his talk. He has always been consistent in his love and understanding. He presents that we are all one and he lives that. To say that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is laughable.
Beautifully said, Shevon, and very true. Serge Benhayon is not concerned with skin colour, ethnicity etc because he meets everyone in exactly the same way – by connecting to their essence and nothing less.
Thank you Shevon, for what you share is so true, those moments where we can have negative thoughts, or judge another are a great opportunity to stop and reflect on what Serge lives, presents and shares for us all – to allow and hold each other in absolute equality, understanding, love and true care, and Janet your comment about Serge, “he meets everyone in exactly the same way – by connecting to their essence and nothing less.” made my whole body pulse, as this is absolute truth, and what a reflection for us all.
Beautifully said Shevon. I too in those moments of judgement or impatience, pause to reflect on how Serge so patiently and completely meets us all, regardless of our failings, he meets the real essence of us inside, which is all made of the same divine energy regardless as you say, of our height, skin colour or anything else that makes us appear different. Serge Benhayon meets our divine essence first and foremost and he continually presents us with the same opportunity to do that with others. His approach transcends all racial issues and prejudice, there are no barriers when it comes to connecting with one another in this way, just honesty and truth and we are all capable of doing the same, should we chose to do so.
I agree Janet – Serge Benhayon is indeed ‘the real deal’. To have stayed standing with total love and understanding for humanity is a testament to the fact it is no put on.
Serge Benhayon lives with 100% (if not more), commitment to Love and humanity. He is a true role model for ALL of us.
Well said Shevon – I totally agree with you!
I agree Janet. The level of respect, love and non-judgement that Serge Benhayon displays so consistently (I have never seen him slip up) is incredible. Even when he has been relentlessly attacked for 2 years and had all sorts of vile accusations and mud thrown at him which would make most of us crack or retaliate in some way, he still stands firm in his integrity and understanding.
Yes, I have never heard any hurtful or negative words uttered from Serge Benhayon in relation to anyone; no sarcasm or any hint of anything hard. He simply offers, as always, the reflection that we come from love, are love and have the potential to express this love in all that we do and say. Thank you Elkan for sharing your story publicly and in bringing awareness to the fact that generations after the event, we are still negatively affected by war and how Serge has supported you in this.
It is true Michelle and Elkan has done an amazing job in showing us how important it is to get the truth out no matter what it exposes. As we can see from Elkan’s movie is that true love has not been at the forefront of our discussion making and disregard has, which is an ongoing issue that all of humanity face and continue to invest in. Serge Benhayon has brought to light that this way of living is not a true way and that there is a way to live life based on true love for oneself and others equally. And so “The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
I love the way this piece is written, it is such a down to earth and real portrayal of a quite remarkable man. The suggestion of indecency aimed at Serge Benhayon is laughed away by anyone who truly is willing to see and know the man. He is a dynamite of love towards all.
There is a great sense of authority in Elkan’s writing. This really does inspire me in how we can stand up for the truth by presenting the facts. Serge is certainly a dynamite of love. A needed reflection in a world that does allow racism, violence, abuse and discrimination.
Well said Stephen. For anyone who isn’t clouded by an agenda, and wants to know the truth of the matter, will take the time to meet Serge Benhayon. Then they will get to know that he really is, ‘a dynamite of love towards all.’
Thank you, Elkan for the clarity you bring so beautifully. In Serge Benhayon’s presence one feels the complete love and openness that he is. It Is for those that choose to feel, hear and believe that Serge is Anti-Semitic, to look deeply and expose what is holding them back from who they truly are.
Thank you Elkan and Serge for bringing this beautiful reflection of love which unites us all.
Cyber bullies at it again with lies, lies, lies with the unrelenting agenda to destroy Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and all those associated with it…vbut truth cannot be destroyed…. This article simple shares the facts, the truth…….of the next most ridiculous attack that Serge now is Anti – Semitic…. Elkan Spiller which such grace and strength shares his own story, experience and relationship with Serge which completely knocks on the head the lies as the truth is presented.
This can happen to anyone of us to be attacked online there are many stories of the impacts it has on those who have undergone this brutality…..
Thank You Elkan!
As you say Karoline – those that are seeking to damage Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine seem willing to invent any and all manner of accusations – all of them without any proof. It would be absurd if they were not so poisonous, and filled with the intention to harm. One wonders whatever will they stoop to next?
You are spot on Karoline – ‘TRUTH CANNOT BE DESTROYED’.
Serge Benhayon is the first person I have met who holds ALL people equally with love, he sees the essence of the person first, knowing that we are all love in our essence and that we are all sons of God.
Lorraine thats the same with me. Never had I met someone who holds all people equally before that.
Serge Benhayon holds everyone equally and does so with absolute consistency.
So true Lorraine. Serge shows us the way we can be with each other. He is so inspiring because he honours knowing the, ‘essence of the person first, knowing that we are all love in our essence and that we are all sons of God,’ by how he lives- how he expresses, eats, sleeps etc. It is not a theory but a way of life.
Thank you Elkan- this is so powerful coming from your lived experiences of anti-semitic attitudes and behaviours – as you said you can smell that behaviour a mile away.
You could say that in the modern world you have a PHD of anti-Semitic behaviour and I know well your close association with Serge Benhayon and his family – so for you to say the anti-semitic claims against Serge are premeditated lies is from truth and authority.
I have known Serge and his family very well for 15 years and been to almost all the presentations of Universal medicine. There has never been one ounce or even a hint of anti-semitic sentiment, just simple presentations on how to live a more truly loving and caring life for oneself and others equally. Serge lives the true meaning of ‘ religion’ which is about relationships and he lives and expresses his immense love to all equally no matter what belief or creed people live by- he knows we are all the same love and deeply honours us and reflects that love back to us consistently. It is a sad truth that throughout history the true messengers are vilified and hated and ridiculed for by some for living and bringing the truth back to people who have lost their connection to their truth.
“to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife”. I love this sentence and everything you shared. A very powerful sharing of the truth we all know. Thank you standing for truth.
Exactly Annelies it is saying just how ridiculous it is and exposes the place where the people that are saying this comes from, which is not love. It also exposes how currently it is easy to ‘hide’ behind the Internet and say things towards others that are vindictive, defaming and abusive. It is very cowardly.
Saying Serge is antisemetic is ironic and would be comical if this slader was not so hidious in its intent to harm a person who is incapable of harm and has shown nothing but absolute care, love and respect to all.
Serge is a catalyst for people opening up to and respecting others.
This small group has admited that they will do ‘anything’ to stop Serge, so how can anyone beleive any of the words flung from such a mission?
Words which are so obviously full of hate?
Beautifully said Jo, when people have no boundaries they will go to any lengths to get what they want – even make hideous accusations and sly innuendoes about things in whole other dimension from the truth.
Well said Jo – no one, at least anyone open to seeing the whole picture, could possibly ‘believe any of the words flung from such a mission’, a mission to bring down Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine at all costs.
I agree Jo, Serge Benhayon is incapable of harm and has shown nothing but absolute care, love and respect for all. His love is unwavering.
Well pointed out, a group that have openly admitted they will do ‘anything’ to stop Serge have already discredited themselves. Their complete fabrications about Serge Benhayon being anything other than the man with the most integrity I have ever met, demonstrates their narrow minded, focused agenda to get Serge with whatever means possible. Such enormous bias shows how un-anchored they are in what is actual and how uninterested they are in the truth, their agenda comes first.
This is brilliant Elkan – presenting the absolute truth, no holding back. Serge Benhayon is NOT an anti-semitic; as clearly evidenced in your blog he holds every single person, no matter their religion, race, background or age with the same total respect.
Very true Susie, and Elkan like Serge Benhayon is a respected and very considerate man.
I agree Susie, it is a great article by Elkan presenting the truth in its entirety without holding back. It is absurd to call Serge Benhayon anything other than a truly loving human being, he has been and is an inspiration for a vast number of people, including myself, who before being introduced to the teachings of Universal Medicine were lost, depressed and living in a mess, and are now taking responsibility, committed to life and society, having fun, and enjoying life and all the learning it brings.
Serge sure does hold everyone equal no matter their religion, race, background or age.. There is no judgement what so ever and he really does embrace all of humanity with complete openness and equalness. Serge Benhayon is an inspiration for humanity.
Respect … a very powerful word and one that has been lived whole heartedly by Serge Benhayon. To be able to live this way is so much more powerful than mere tolerance and it embraces all with a depth of understanding that holds not an ounce of criticism for how another lives or the choices they have made. To be able to hold this way of being consistently is mind blowing and very amazing to feel. Impossible? No, this is INSPIRATIONAL which is why many including me, choose to also have a religion (relationship) with their inner hearts and joyfully accept the Way of the Livingness as a natural and normal way of being in this world.
I can say I am truly blessed living with Elkan as my partner for 5 years now. Before I met him, I had only my ‘knowledge’ about what happened to the Jewish people in WW 2. Living with him, I came to understand the deep wounds inflicted by the Holocaust. The war still lives on, in the ensuiing generations and in daily life. It is much deeper than I ever imagined. We live in Holland, which is known to be a country with a lot of ‘tolerance’.
Yes, there is tolerance as long as it’s not in our back yard! We don’t want to be bothered with or stand up to the truth that we as a nation, have a lot of work to do in ourselves to admit where we stay in comfort and pretense about our so called tolerant attitude.
This is what I learn living with a man who is a living example of what hate and separation can do to mankind.
Serge Benhayon is exposing those lies, never does he judge or create separation. He is for me a living example of what true love and acceptance look like. He lives it in every cell of his body, and I am grateful beyond words that I know him.
What an awesome blog and to really get a greater understanding of what is going on. I too am extremely thankful to have experienced the absolute steadiness in the way Serge Benhayon presents with the truth, love and unwavering to no separatism. I have been deeply inspired to address and look at choices I make and to bring equality in all that I do.
I too really appreciate having blogs in the world like Elkan’s above. I thought just because it was X amount of years ago, doesn’t mean is will not still have ripples to this date which effect others. An eye-opening article.
What you say here makes sense. Two World Wars and what have we learnt from them? Very little, to still have anti-semitism or any form of racism nearly 70 years on is absolutely crazy. We have all learnt to be tolerant as a way of trying to keep the peace, but tolerance comes at the expense of truth, we no longer want to rock the boat, or say what needs to be said. As you say, Elkan is a living example of what hate and separation can do. To experience through his parents and relations the horrors of anti-semitism can never be belittled or forgotten, it is a reminder of how low individuals can stoop, a reminder of what mankind can do to each other.
Serge Benhayon has never ever shied away from truth, he is not afraid to rock the boat and it is this that certain people do not like and are willing to go to extreme lengths to try to stop him. They will never succeed, what ever they try to accuse him of, or what ever lies they make up about him, his love for humanity shines through all of the ugliness that is thrown at him.
Beautifully expressed Alison. The truth is exposing and it can feel uncomfortable seeing it in its entirety. The levels we have really scooped to. Thankfully for mankind, we have a man in Serge Benhayon who is not prepared to settle for anything other than the truth, no matter what the consequences. This is a true blessing.
Well said Alison. A great comment responding to a great article.
Very true and well said Alison. Serge Benhayon loves Humanity to such an extent he is more than willing to put himself on the line if it prevents more of the atrocities we seem to so readily commit on one another. As you say, 70 years on from the 2nd World War and we are no nearer to ending war. Tolerance does not serve anyone. Its time to truly address racism and accept the truth, that regardless of our skin colour, nationality or religious belief, we are all equally divine.
This not wanting to rock the boat is the real evil in our society. Serge Benhayon leads the way, living as a man who puts people first and his Love of humanity ahead of any concerns about how others will react or perceive him. Serge Benhayon is the ultimate example of someone who wants nothing for himself but lives for everything for everyone equally.
Absolutely Alison, the difference between standing up for truth is what Serge has been doing for the last 12 years and will continue to do so regardless of the false accusations and innuendo.
Well said Alison.
Thank you for sharing, tolerance can be paraded around as an answer or a solution but it is often soo loaded the tension it creates and allows to foster is worse as it is furthering the lie without actually exposing the truth, it just allows things to remain in dis-harmony whilst turning a blind eye to them.
Well said James, ‘it just allows things to remain in dis-harmony whilst turning a blind eye to them’.
This is the constant tension we feel as human beings by not honouring what we know to be true in our bodies.
I agree Simone, the tension we are left with by not honouring what we know to be true in our bodies is something I have felt throughout my life, it creates an anxiety and leaves me feeling on edge and frustrated that I am not saying what I want to. The more I express and say what I am feeling the more at-ease I am with my self, with life and with those around me.
Yes well said James. When there is disharmony ‘tolerance’ allows us to turn a blind eye to the underlying tensions and pretend all is resolved, but this stale situation is a far cry from the loving honest relationships that our heart is craving. Also the issues will never be faced or be seen for what they are as long as they are kept under a blanket of pretence.
I agree Golnaz, with ‘tolerance’ issues are not dealt with rather they are left un-dealt with to fester. And yes it is a ‘far cry from the loving honest relationships our heart is craving’.
I agree, tolerance is simply a word for allowing hate to continue while pretending everything is ok. The idea of this being championed as something good is quite disturbing, surely another human being deserves more than that.
I agree Meg, we all deserve truth and harmony rather than the lie that tolerance carries with it. Tolerance has been paraded around for years but it brings with it an underlying tension which sooner or later rises to the surface.
Definitely – I remember hearing a Christian friend talk about tolerating those who were not Christian once, I genuinely felt he hated me!! Tolerance is also riddled in judgement.
I agree Meg tolerance is riddled with judgement. I remember being taught about the ecumenical movement in school, which sounds great everyone cooperating but cooperating without love just masks the underlying tension.
I agree – the pretence feels horrible.
I share your feeling and I am also grateful beyond words that I know Serge Benhayon. I have also never heard him judge, criticise or create separation. He is amazing at exposing lies and the rot and he presents a deep understanding of life which is such a beautiful gift.
Rachel I agree, however I would also say this is more a very needed necessity as the world is in turmoil and very much in need of a true way forward.
So true Rachel, Serge Benhayon never creates separation, he always unites and re-aligns us to our inescapable truth that we all belong to one family. I have a great deal to thank Serge for, as it is his wisdom that has supported me to deal with all my issues that separate me from other people and I am now truly beginning to feel the deep love in my heart that naturally holds us all in equality.
“I have also never heard him judge, criticise or create separation” – I agree, and what I find hard to believe is how someone who in my experience conducts themselves with the highest form of ethics, in fact a level that many people that I have met are not even at, can be criticised for being anti-semitic. That just does not make sense to me at all
Beautiful, ‘Serge Benhayon is exposing those lies, never does he judge or create separation. He is for me a living example of what true love and acceptance look like. He lives it in every cell of his body, and I am grateful beyond words that I know him.’ I absolutely agree with what you have written and feel truly blessed to know Serge Benhayon.
Well said in deed Simone. The scars of our atrocious, inhumane behaviour affects us generations on. War does not end when we call a truce, it can only end when all the wounds are healed, many generations down the line. Serge Benhayon never holds back from exposing the lies and rot that humanity is responsible for, even when he knows he will be disliked and attacked for it and as you say, he never judges or condemns, he simply states the truth. And above all, he lives and walks his talk every moment of his day, with every cell of his body. I agree Simone, Serge is a living example of strong, undeniable, un-wavering love that he shares with all equally and I too am deeply grateful for his friendship and un-relenting wisdom, love and support. Serge Benhayon offers the world a true resolution to war, a real way to heal the deep inherent scars we have inflicted upon one another and that way begins by ceasing to go to war on ourselves. There is a Way to truly heal the wounds and cease the drive of retaliation and annihilation and Elkan is living proof of this Way.
Delorme2013 – thank you for sharing this. It is beautiful to feel how much understanding and true insights you now have from living with Elkan over the past 5 years. I have observed so much change in you both over this time when attending Serge Benhayon’s presentations,and the true deep healing in both of you is a glorious reflection for all to enjoy.
I do not feel I have been aware of how you say ‘the deep wounds inflicted by the Holocaust still lives on and effects generations in their daily life’. It seems we have a lot to heal here.
Wow – thank you for sharing. I often think of WW2 and other wars as something in the past, but truthfully of course they make a huge mark on those involved and the pain from them travels on for generations. It’s amazing to have a greater insight to this – thank you.
Hi Meg,
yes, it means people like you and me are also affected, our parents and/or grandparents were somehow involved in the war, be it WW2 or any other war. My father was not able to share about his experiences of being in a work camp, he was not able to express at all what was going on inside of him. And I know of many more who did not speak about their experiences. They could not share the atrocities, and they also could not share the love they had inside and receive the love they craved for. So much healing would be needed for them!
And coming back to Serge Benhayon, he offers us ways and modalities to heal ourselves so we can share true love with each other. Nobody is excluded from receiving that love, no Jews, no Christians, etc.
The depth of understanding you have for people is beautiful, it’s so welcomed to be reminded that people carry so much more with them than the present moment, and there is so much more to it than what we see. And thank god for Serge Benhayon who openly shows everyone we are all the same and we need not carry these hurts with us – and it’s ok to share love again.
Thank you for sharing from your knowing, ‘living with a man who is a living example of what hate and separation can do to mankind’ and then to give the example of how Serge Benhayon is ‘exposing those lies and never does he judge or create separation’. So true, Serge is a living example of what true love and acceptance looks like. Yes, I agree, he lives it in every cell of his body. To know Serge feels like the greatest gift I have ever received and my life has changed beyond recognition in the years I have known him. Not always easy to make the changes but the rewards are beyond anything the resistance can offer!
Awesome Mary. Taking a look at how we live as it is and not reacting to what we see, but instead moving on to healing what is there to be healed is of great benefit for us all. Serge Benhayon lovingly presents the truth of it how it is and for those who do not wish to see this, reacting can become a way of dealing with our hurts. Love is always there to support in the healing of such hurts should we but chose to connect to the truth of who we are. Love.
“The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” This is a great question, Elken.
I wonder about that question too Jonathan, and find the mindset that would do such things difficult to understand. But- we seem to live in a world where humanity is controlled, manipulated, by those who who seek more power. Pharmaceutical companies who would like to have us able to work, but also dependent on their products. Food companies who sneak unnecessary addictive substances like sugar and salt into their products Cosmetic companies that give us an un-attainable picture of what we should look like. Arms companies who profit from, and encourage, dis-harmony and conflict. I could go on… And then along comes Serge Benhayon, and his simple information. We can all choose to be fully healthy and vital, choose to eat only those foods that the body appreciates, that we are all beautiful, not just in how we look, but how we live and express that living. And that we are love. To these greedy, power hungry groups, these simple truths pose a huge threat. For me to be free of those influences has changed my life and allowed the true me to shine through.
Absolutely Catherine. Serge Benhayon has given us an opportunity to see it is possible to live another way it is just a matter of making different choices. It is that simple. This is something I am still continuing to learn. Before meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I had never had this explained to me, who thought like this or met someone who lived what they talked in every single way.
Yes it is no surprise that someone speaking truth and confronting the status quo with truth should be vilified and smeared – this is what always happens when truth speakers come we try to stop them talking – history is full of such events.
Elken, this is a great article. As you say there is not one word ever spoken from Serge that puts another beneath someone else. What is presented is that we are all equally Sons of God.
It is easy for others to make up stories or to twist what they may or may not have heard, but when one has studied and experienced first hand the intricacies of such horror, one knows immediately if that is being played out again. No one can argue with the truth that is felt and known throughout our bodies.
Thank you for sharing such an important subject matter.
Thank you for speaking from such an authoritative place, Elkan. Your words are truly powerful. Your final question: “…what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” is a very important one when it seems that ‘trial by internet’ is all one needs to pronounce someone guilty of whatever offence they decide to dream up.
Exactly Naren, trial by internet has become a popular method of staining the reputation of another with no need for proof and no consequences. How easy it is to put out false allegations when you can hide behind a computer screen in anonymity.
Thank you Elkan. I agree wholeheartedly that Serge Benhayon is not discriminatory, hostile, nor the slightest bit judgemental towards any religion, race or culture – jew or otherwise. He displays none of these attributes, and all I have seen and witnessed is a truly loving man who is not afraid to share this with all, and whom stands up for what really matters in this world. I agree it is right for us to question where it comes from that one could say anything otherwise.
Thank you Elkan, your article is a powerful testimony of truth about Serge Benhayon. You are certainly someone who can speak with an authority on this. I have known Serge and attended Universal Medicine presentations for 3 years and he has only ever presented about the equality and love that we as a humanity are and of which he holds us all in. Serge and his family have inspired me immensely from which I have turned my life around.
So powerfully shared Elkan, with your background and the truth you stand for, says it all. The Benyahon family are extremely open and loving and that’s their living proof.
Thank you Elkan for setting the record straight with regards to the ludicrous allegations that Serge Benhayon is anti-Semitic.
I have known Serge for many years and he never holds anyone less and is accepting of people from all backgrounds and all religions.
The strength, power and authority with which you write Elkan cannot be refuted or argued with. To say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. “It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” sums up perfectly the ridiculousness of the criticism that is being bandied about Serge Benhayon. In truth there is nothing to criticise him for. To those who react to his loving words they need to ask themselves what is being exposed for them about the way they live that they cannot handle? From personal experience I can say that it does hurt to know that I could be more loving and it does hurt to feel how I have hurt others, it hurts to not be all of me expressing from the glory that I come from, but rather than shooting the messenger and defending my ill actions I have decided to look inward at my choices and make changes.
Awesome Elkan, thank you for expressing the truth so clearly! I love how with full authority and clarity you describe the work of Serge Benhayon in its absolute simplicity and truth: “All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too”.
Thank you!!
We have all seen and been horrified by photographs and films of what happened during the war, and your film, Elkan, shows us how it has affected so many generations afterwards. Bina’s description of what she saw at Auschwitz reminds us of the horror of how those six million people were killed, simply because of their religion. Despite that horror, the wars continue, or at best, the major religions may ‘tolerate’ each other whilst remaining fixed in the belief that they are ‘right’. Serge Benhayon offers no such arrogance – he welcomes one and all, treats everybody exactly the same, with a deep, deep love of humanity, and no-one is excluded on the basis of their religion or culture.
A great comment Carmel, powerful truth.
Yes Carmel, we have all been horrified by photographs and films of what happened during the war and Elkan’s film shows us how it has affected so many generations. My late Mother-in-law used to tell me how her parents would not travel to Germany as the horrors of war were so vivid for them, their pain so raw, they could not face the pain of the memories that may surface if they went to the place that was so horrendous for them as Jews. Downline, the generations have more understanding and Elkan’s film is one that should be shown worldwide. Serge Benhayon is a man who walks his talk, offers love and respect for all and as you say, no-one is excluded.
Thank you Elkan for your awesome sharing –
It is difficult to read of the lengths that some people will attempt to go to to cause harm on so many levels. I look forward to seeing your film.
Great article Elkan. You write -“I’ve seen many world teachers in my life but Serge Benhayon lives what he talks”. I too have seen many world teaches in my foray into my search for healing and truth. I have never met anyone – before I met Serge – who walked their talk. Serge is energetic integrity personified.
Great words from the heart Elkan. The truth will always stand as an example for all to see and feel.
very powerful and so necessary to be said, thank you Elkan
Thank you Elkan for this powerful testimony. I can feel your heart beating there for absolute truth. I saw your film and it is as amazing as you are.
Thank you Elkan for this powerful testimony of your truth. You are a a role model for us all on how we can stand up against the evil that is around in the world and how we can give expression to that. I can feel your dedication in this very strongly.
Well said Nico and as Elkan has so clearly shown any allegations of being anti-semitic are pure fiction. In fact the article shows the complete openess that Serge Benhayon lives and is with everyone regardless of faith or past. Something that many leaders or political figures could well choose to be inspired by.
Thank you Elkan for this brilliant sharing.
Such outrageous, ridiculous allegations we must refute.
Serge Benhayon is full of love for all equally, you cannot fail to see or feel it in his presence.
Thank you Elkan. Your words are true.
Thank you for your article Elkan.
I, like many others, was quite surprised to hear that Serge Benhayon has been accused of being anti-semitic. I have known Serge for eight years and the truth is that he is not ‘anti’ anything. The strength and ongoing consistency of his love for humanity is simply inspirational.
What we are seeing, once again, is another example of the baseless and ludicrous allegations by those who are clutching at straws in a futile attempt to destabilise Universal Medicine.
They will not succeed, Why? Because their cynicism, jealousy and burning need for recognition will never overcome truth and love.
Thats a good point Rod, Serge Benhayon is ‘not ‘anti’ anything’. If he feels that something isn’t true he won’t hold back but he will always allow us to choose our own way in life.
Thank you Elken for sharing this blog with us, it gives me a greater understanding of the insidious lies that are being spread and by standing up for the Truth in the way you have, the lies look small minded and ridiculous.
Amazing article from an amazing man about an amazing man – both of you are going for the absolute truth. Having know both you for so many years I can confirm and agree with everything you said.
‘Amazing article from an amazing man about an amazing man’ – Indeed it is Steffi!
A great article Elkan, super powerful. “All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offer his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices so that at some point you can be in real service for other people too. (Any government should know about these teachings, they would save billions of dollars for their Health systems).”
Since attending the presentations by Serge Benhayon and choosing to live the simplicity of The Way of the Livingness, the way of love, my life has changed immensely. Serge and his family are a huge inspiration to how living this way is and the harmony it brings to all equally so.
Indeed “The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
A real question requiring a real answer.
Great article Elkan. These accusations are ludicrous, I have been a Student of The Way of the Livingness for 6 years and I have not once heard Serge Benhayon say anything derogatory about another human being. On the contrary, he speaks with the utmost respect, love and integrity for all of humanity equally so. I would most definitely not be a part of an organisation which has racist, sexist or discriminatory philosophies. I actually am more accepting of others’ choices since becoming a student of The Way of the Livingness.
Thank you, Elkan, for this profound and powerful message. Your words are very sincere and come with the authority of someone who has lived with the reminders of this dark period in our history. The last thing anyone could accuse Serge Benhayon of, is being anti-Semitic. He holds everyone with equal amounts of love and respect regardless of your religion or background. Whomever made these accusations has never spent any time with Serge because in all the time I have known him he has never said anything judgmental or derogatory about the choices that anyone makes, simply allowing us to walk our own path.
I absolutely agree Tim, well said, ‘Whomever made these accusations has never spent any time with Serge because in all the time I have known him he has never said anything judgmental or derogatory about the choices that anyone makes, simply allowing us to walk our own path.’
This testimony is awesome Elkan, thank your for sharing from you heart like this.
Elkan, you are a great inspiration. Not only for the film you produced, but also in standing for truth (weather that is on this topic or another) and expressing it. I love your writing and the authority you wrote with. Hilarious how you write: ‘to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.’
So true, you couldn’t be further from the truth than accusing Serge of not treating all people equally. In the 6,5 years I have know Serge he has been 100% consistent in this behaviour.
What you write about Serge Benhayon is so true. He has been a man who has inspired my heart to open up to humanity, from where I was when I met him this is huge. I was angry, resentful, full of blame and I did not want to be part of society. The love, the understanding, the equality and absolute commitment with which he holds every single person, regardless of what their background and history is, or even if they demonstrate atrocious behavior, is astounding. His example constantly inspires me to deepen my love for my fellow brothers and sisters in the world. What he teaches is not only immensely loving and honouring of people, but holds a lot of wisdom and makes complete sense. You are absolutely right Elkan, governments would save billions if they studied what he presents.
I agree with you Golnaz, ‘governments would save billions if they studied what he (Serge Benhayon) presents’. Like you I have changed my life in soo many ways that before meeting Serge I never thought was possible. Rather than being a drain on the system – I was constantly ill and in the doctors or specialists now I rarely see the doctor unless I choose to to have a check up.
Very true Golnaz – what he is teaching has the potential to save institutions like the NHS from the financial and moral bankruptcy that faces them in the very near future. No more, no less, and no kidding. It could be an absolute game changer for others as it has been for me.
Thank you Elkan for speaking the truth! There could not be a more powerful and authoritative testimony than yours!
Yes you Elkan are an authority on this area.
I have know Serge Benhayon for 8 years, in this time he has constantly challenged and assisted me to heal any reservations I had about other people on any front. It’s not possible to dedicate myself to the teachings of Serge Benhayon and aim to hold anything but love and deep admiration for the rest of humantiy, regardless of race, culture, beliefs. When I see people lost in a negativity about others, I know it’s because they have forgotten that it’s their fellow man they are looking at, with the same soul as you.
A beautiful account Elkan. I’d love to see more films made directed by you – perhaps one about the self formed student body:)
Elkan this is a brilliant blog. Before reading this I was not sure what anti-Semitism meant but now that I do I completely agree with all you have said. There is not one ounce of judgement or condemnation in anything presented by Serge Benhayon. Your analogy of the Pope is very apt illustrating this well! When the governments do study the work that Universal Medicine presents the world will certainly save billions in healthcare costs and much more.
Thank you Elkan for this awesome article, stating the truth about Serge Benhayon. I have known and listened to Serge for over 10 years and I have NEVER heard him talk in any way that could be interpreted as being anti-semitic – or anti anybody else for that matter. He consistently presents that we – as a people of this planet earth – are all the same inside, coming from the same source, and that life is about true brotherhood. So it’s difficult to understand where such allegations would come from; clearly not from anybody who actually has listened to what Serge presents. I would love to see your movie sometime!
Love what you present here Elkan, it truly is laughable to hear that Serge Benhayon is being eschewed as anti-semitic. So obviously unbelievable when you know the man. A man who as I have also experienced and observed treats everyone with an equalness and respect that is rare indeed. Being met with that has inspired me to live my life in such a way also, appreciating the fact that though there are differences, we as human beings are actually no different in essence. We all feel, hurt, play and love. We all have the capacity to truly connect with another and feel the truth of who they are (the same). Connecting with another or being connected to by another in equalness can be challenging as our belief system gets rattled and the walls we put up are shaken. Some withdraw and reinforce the walls, firing shots over the top of their fortress to keep the equalness out, others tear down the walls and say “here I am, here WE are, lets celebrate!”. It is unfortunate and sad that there are those who are committed to the former. A great many though are choosing the latter.
Elkan thank you for exposing the absurd notion that Serge Benhayon is anti-semitic. Serge is a man who takes you on face value being able to see past the labels we give ourselves due to our religion, gender, profession, culture etc. Serge simply sees the human being in all their glory first and foremost, never judging or criticising but simply presenting love and openness that leaves you be.
Well said Rachel, ‘Serge simply sees the human being in all their glory first and foremost, never judging or criticising but simply presenting love and openness that leaves you be’.
Thank you Elkan for your heart-felt commentary on Serge Benhayon, an incredible man who presents nothing but equality and love for all; who has presented nothing but common sense and truth for the 10 years I have known him and his amazing family. I was raised to accept every human being for who they are and not to judge anyone on their race, nationality or religion, and if Serge had ever presented anything to the contrary I for one would have not continued my association with him and Universal Medicine.
Over the years he has presented to thousands of people, including me, with the truth as he knows and lives it, inspiring us to make changes in the way we live that have resulted in amazing improvements in our lives and our health. I am a living testament to this. The motivation of this small group of people to continue to throw false and vile accusations at Serge and Universal Medicine continues to puzzle me. What a huge waste of energy and time, and what a big message that something needs to be done to prevent this insidious form of abuse; a form of abuse that appears to be growing out of control, harming so many along the way. We all need to start speaking up as you have Elkan, and keep working toward a change that needs to be urgently addressed.
Thank you, Elkan for taking a stand against yet another round of unfounded accusations and malicious vitriol with the intent to harm against Serge Benhayon. While on the one hand these attacks are becoming more and more ludicrous and far fetched, they are on the other hand an indictment of a society and its judiciary that have become complacent and do not hold these cowardly perpetrators to account for the rot they are wallowing in and spreading far and wide.
I agree, Gabriele, ‘they are on the other hand an indictment of a society and its judiciary that have become complacent and do not hold these cowardly perpetrators to account for the rot they are wallowing in and spreading far and wide.’ How come these people are not being held to account, for what they are doing is a crime against humanity.
Elkan – thank you for this needed truth. What you write hear is absolutely true – in that Serge Benhayon and all members of his family have never once come across as Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating.
They only stand for truth.
Indeed – what is wrong with the person who accuses such falsities and thinks it is OK to do so?
It is up to us to speak up when this happens – because it is not OK for anyone to act like this.
Elkan, thank you for expressing this loud and clear. It is as ridiculous as you say, when Serge Benhayon, a man I have known as being a super loving person ever since I met him in 2003, is being accused of being racist. I really enjoyed your film. It is very beautiful and powerful and portrays the damage that racism can inflict on generations and generations of people. This damage is the antithesis of what Serge presents and what Universal Medicine stands for. What we learn is the medicine that we are all equal and the same no matter our skin colour, race, gender, culture or creed.
Thank you Elkan, the truth and facts you present here are so clear and undeniable. Cyber-bullies who make such false accusations need to be stood up to and corrected like this.
Such a beautifully powerful article Elkan, it is great you bring this to light. Serge Benhayon’s manner of
inclusivity to everyone, equally so, is indeed leading the way for all.
Elkan, it’s obvious that if anyone would be able to pick up even the smallest hint of anti-semitism, it’s you, considering your heritage and professional research. Your comment “Secondly, to say or write that Serge Benhayon is Anti-Semitic is totally absurd and ridiculous. It is like saying the pope is cheating on his wife.” says it all, as after 5 years of my own direct contact and workshops with Serge, he has only shown deep love and appreciation for everyone, regardless of race, religion, creed, or otherwise. Your authority in this matter speaks for itself Elkan. Thank you for writing this and setting the record straight for anyone who would think otherwise.
I agree Michael that Elkan has set the record straight and who better than someone who has the authority – the Authority that comes from his lived experience and that to me holds power. I have introduced Serge to different people from different race, religions, culture and nationality and Not once has he ever changed or behaved in any way contrary to his usual deep love and appreciation of each and every one of us Equally. That is what makes Serge Benhayon an extra-ordinary man who shows us all what is possible for us to live too.
Brilliant, Bina. Thank you for sharing this observation about how Serge Benhayon is equally loving with every single person he meets, without exception.
Elkan. Thank you for your comments on Serge Benhayon. I have never heard Serge make derogatory comments on any person or their religious beliefs.
I would say that Serge Benhayon doesn’t have a bone in his body that is anti-semitic. He is an open and very honest person.
‘I would say that Serge Benhayon doesn’t have a bone in his body that is anti-semitic. ‘ – I agree Mike.
Thank you Elkan for your well researched, informative and vindicating piece on Serge Benhayon. Serge has taught and continues to teach us how to connect to our inner-selves so that we can heal ourselves of our self-inflicted ailments. One of the basic tenets of his presentations is the equality of us all. No one is singled out as being better than or less than anyone else. On that basis alone, no group, religion or belief is ever criticised or attacked. Everything that he presents, he lives in his life. That is a fact! Unfortunately the ‘information revolution’ seems to have spawned certain disaffected individuals, who crave recognition by scrawling their poisonous, defamatory lies all over the internet, while cowering behind their computer screens.
I was not aware of such accusations against Serge Benhayon and this is absolutely insane and ridiculous. NEVER in the 7 years I have known him in all the courses, presentations, workshops and retreats I have attended have I heard him utter anything remotely anti-semitic, racist or sexist. What he and Universal Medicine stand for is totally the opposite which is true brotherhood, equality, respect and love.
Thank you Elkan for stepping forward and for setting the record straight.
This is an absolutely gorgeous article. Thank you Elkan for your tender and heart-felt expression. I feel tears of joy.
Thanks Elkan for stating so authoritatively the facts regarding Serge Benhayon and these ludicrous lies that he is anti-semitic. Using your example – there is more chance of the Pope cheating on his wife…..
It does not matter to Serge whether people are Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Sikh, Muslim, atheist etc – for he sees the essence of the person first and foremost in the absolute knowing that all are equal, all are love in essence and all are sons of the one God….so there is no distinction or difference made based on religion or any other man-based criteria. Indeed the world could do with a few more like him, who walk the talk and lead by example – holding all in and with love.
Thank you Elken, this blog comes with your authority on the subject of Anti-Semitism and it is great to hear the Truth being presented, in contrast to the false accusations that have been made about Serge Benhayon, where there are evil undertones and hidden agendas, with not one ounce of Truth in them. I would love to see your film one day.
It is amazing to read an article written by someone with a lot of authority on the subject of Anti-semitism – something I know little about, except what I have studied in history classes. To accuse someone of this, considering the horrors that occurred because of it in world war 2, is disgusting, and so I thank you Elkan for taking the time to talk about it from the point of view of some one who can speak both from personal experience of the horrors of WW2, being Jewish, knowing Serge Benhayon, but also from the academic point of view of having studied this subject to one of the highest levels, and made a film about the impact of war. As you have said, Serge walks the talk, and he is one of the most respectful men I know – if we consider the number of wars and arguments and discord in this world that can be put down to disagreements over religion, we need more people able to not just tolerate another persons religious beliefs, but totally accept and allow – why are people attacking this – does it say more about them and the way they obviously wish the world to continue? An amazing article, thank you.
Hi Rebecca, like you I knew very little on the subject of Anti-semitism. Indeed as you say the horrors that occured in world war 2 because of being Jewish are unimaginable. So how can someone use this against another in defamation astounds me and exposes the ill place they are coming from.
I agree Vicky, the holocaust should serve has a humbling and horrific reminder of what happens when we let fear and mistrust breed between people. It is not needed and should have no place in today’s society. Those who are trying the same fear mongering tactics with Serge Benhayon and the anti-semitism angle are simply trying to sew old and deep seeded fears that should have rotted along time ago.
Well said Elkan, a big thank you for expressing this. Yes we could save billions of dollars of whatever currency if we would take full responsibility for our choices, every day. I have never come across a man like Serge Benhayon who has so much love for all of humanity and who inspires others to live in a way, where it is eventually not about me me me, but about all of us. I have never felt any judgement whatsoever. Like you say, it says more about the people who express those accusations. Have they truly even met Serge for the man that he is, I wonder.
A great post clearing up the fog around false allegations. Spoken from a man who knows his stuff, completely debasing the lie that Serge Benhayon is even a little bit anti-semitic. Thank you Elkan for setting the record straight, written with inspiring authority.
Thanks Elkan for so clearly and unequivocally writing this. I too have never heard Serge Benhayon treat anyone of any religion as anything less than equal, he’s always the one who’s willing to understand and respect another, and indeed call to account anyone who doesn’t. As for anti-semeticism no way. At Serge’s presentations, all are welcome, none are disparaged and each is encouraged to connect to and develop their own responsibility and be the fullness of who they are.
Just like all the other tags, labels and lies that people have attempted to place on Serge Benhayon this one does not stick. Never ever have I heard anything but respect for people regardless of their choices, be that religion, food, work – anything from Serge during his presentations.
What if these lies keep getting thrown in the hope that if something did stick everyone would focus on that and not on the person throwing the mud?
Well said Leigh – none of the lies or the mud has stuck on Serge Benhayon and nor will it as he has nothing to hide – it is a true testament to the way he lives and the integrity and love for humanity he holds.
So true Leigh. Yet more ludicrous mud slinging in a desperate attempt to discredit Serge Benhayon. But yet again the mud won’t stick as anyone who has had any contact knows the depth of integrity and love that Serge Benhayon lives.
So clearly written Elkan, from a place of personal experience and with absolute Truth. Serge Benhayon does live what he talks, all the time, and his family are a great example for everyone to follow.
Elkan this is a beautiful blog full of absolute Love. I didn’t know Serge had a Jewish background as I have never heard him or anyone else talk about it. But I can vouch for the fact that Serge communicates to the student body that everyone is entitled to be aligned to whatever they choose. He judges no-one and nor should anyone. And as you quite rightly state he presents that our bodies all communicate to us in the form of feelings and asks what if we listened to those feelings? It’s as simple as that! I would love to see your film Elkan, where can I see it?
Thank you Elkan for expressing from the fullness of your heart. If anyone would know what anti -semitism represents, it is you and you knowing Serge, you have great clarity on what is truth and what is not truth about Serge Benhayon.
Serge is there for anyone who chooses to ask him about the truth of who and what he represents, yet most media/journalists are too afraid to hear because than they would realise they have to take responsibility for their own thoughts and actions, instead of blaming others for the state they are within themselves. Eventually they will know, one of these days that very responsibility will come around the corner and they will not be able to escape from it and they will know what Serge has been expressing to all not a few is love and truth.
I would like to add to that there is a great tendency in media reporting, and also any time when someone accuses another, to see things from afar, gossip and suppositions from inaccurate facts, rather than going to the source and actually experiencing and listening to the person involved. As you say, it is too threatening, as often it disturbs a whole way of life.
Thank you Elkan. It’s interesting how the lies can be seen for what they truly are, when we are offered true perceptive and understanding.
Amazing article Elkan, so strong, true, and totally authentic, and I found it very moving. When I feel that inside I know I have heard Truth, it fills my whole body. You have spoken what needs to be spoken. I agree that those who infer that Serge is anti Semitic are just clutching at another straw to add to the disintegrating pile of other false accusations.
Thank you Elkan Spiller for this deep insightful account of Truth. I have been to Auschwitz and was very disturbed at what actually went on. You get a tour and see what the gas chambers looked like and where the bodies were burnt and where the executions took place. The museum houses weapons used and thousands of suitcases and hair which was taken from these people before their death.
Your film confirms to me that this trauma lives on generations after and the torture is not healed just because the holocaust is over. Six million people were murdered and thank God you are writing about it and filming what the collateral damage really amounts to.
I agree with you absolutely that the government would benefit and save billions if they could use the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine which is about taking responsibility for all your choices and once this has been addressed, you can be of real service to others. I am definitely one who has cleaned up my act by dealing with my buried issues and now taking full responsibility for the way I live – a way of living that does not harm me or others. I am no longer a medical statistic and this is a testimony in itself that these teachings from Serge Benhayon work and are available to us all if we choose.
I agree that governments and Health Services would do well to listen to the presentations of Serge Benhayon, and I am one example of an individual who has saved the National Health Service a lot of money. Whilst I do visit my GP and an endocrinologist for diagnosis and checks, and I will always take their advice regarding treatment, so far, apart from being on Warfarin for a heart condition and to reduce the risk of a stroke, my lifestyle and the food I eat are such that I am on no other medication and require no medical procedures, My cholesterol and blood sugar are well within normal range, my arthritis is causing minimum pain, and requires no medication, and any other aches and pains I have, such as Tendonitis, I am doing gentle exercise to prevent further damage, and am being very gentle with my body. Ditto with a recent diagnosis of osteoporosis, I shall take great care of my body to prevent any fractures, and will eat foods that are calcium-rich to help re-build my bones. Before I met Serge Benhayon, I was living life very hard and taking very little care of my body; I was obese, and had painful arthritis in my joints. Now at 64 I am slim, relatively pain-free and have greater vitality than I did ten years ago. Serge Benhayon is an inspiration for us all to make simple and healthy lifestyle choices, that lead to better health and vitality. Who on earth would want to stop that?
Great writing and very powerfull! Thanks Elkan
I have known Elkan for many years and he is a beautiful and very sensitive man, and given his history and life’s work you can’t get someone who is more attuned to anti-semitism. So when he says there is not an ounce, not one breath of this in Serge’s presentation then I absolutely believe him.
I totally agree Elkan, I too have attended many of Serge Benhayon’s presentations and workshops and have also listened to countless hours of his audio recordings and never ever once, have I heard him say anything that was Anti-Semetic, racist, sexist or discriminating in any way shape or form. On the contrary his love for all of humanity is palpable.
As you say Elkan ” All Serge Benhayon does (which is a lot) is offering his knowledge about a way of living that helps us counteract our self-inflicted ailments. It is a simple and universal embracing teaching that gets you into your own power by taking responsibility for your choices..” There is never a hint of judgement or condemnation in what Serge presents, not about religion, the health system, people..never. There is however a crystal clear understanding of the way things are and how we have gotten to where we are today both in our personal lives and as humanity. This clear understanding offers a different outlook on life and a different way of living that has been proven to work for everyone willing to give it an honest try.
The ridiculous accusations of a few, their judgements and hateful expressions show exactly why this is so needed in this world today. Those who are not willing to change and take responsibility for their lives and the state of this world have left themselves with little choice but to attack, accuse and try to bring down that which brings truth to light.
Thank you Elkan not only for your blog but for your awesome film that shows so clearly what hate and war and separation actually do to us.
Beautifully said Carolien, those who are ‘willing to give it an honest try’ are dismantling the many beliefs, ideals and separation that have bound us for too long. Once we take full responsibility for our ills and begin to see how we have created them, we become empowered to change them to the benefit of all, as demonstrated by Elkan’s article and film that show the world the real damage of war. The living work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is proving that it cannot and will not be diminished by such vicious and un-warranted attacks.
Dear Elkan, a powerful and strong message and one of absolute truth. I have never heard Serge nor any member of his family utter a derogatory or inflammatory word against anyone, just absolute pure love and truth.
And yes Vanessa, what a powerful message and life changing one this would send if the student body and the Way of The Livingness was actually studied with an openness and not contempt. What would be found would change the course of the world, and many peoples lives, in a positive and profound way, as it already is.
Amazing blog Elkan. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Thank you Elkan for this piece of writing. My husband of 18 years was brought up in the Jewish faith and whilst he chose to marry “out” his family, who I love dearly are still practising and some are observant orthodox Jews. Anti semitism is alive and well in our neighbourhood. My children who have not been brought up in the Jewish faith but have a very jewish surname have been harassed, ridiculed and marginalised at school for being Jewish (even though they are not). This does not bother them, as they understand where it comes from and that understanding comes from what we as parents have learnt from Universal Medicine. It certainly does not make it OK.
I drive past the Jewish school most mornings and witness the local parent volunteer security patrol monitoring the school carpark – to keep an eye out for potential issues.
My husband and I have known Serge Benhayon and attended the Universal medicine workshops for 10 years. I have not heard any anti-semitism uttered from Serge’s lips or any other derogatory words, he talks only of love and energetic truth.
Very well said Elkan. Every word that you say is true. How anyone could accuse Serge Benhayon of anti semitism is beyond my comprehension. As you so rightly say he comes from a jewish background himself, but regardless of that he has never in the seven years that I have known him ever made a discriminating remark about the members of any religion. Any such accusation says more about the accuser than it does about Serge. Everything that Serge does is in the public domain and all you need to do to understand where he stands is to read his seven books published to date.
That Serge Benhayon should be labelled as anti-semantic is utterly absurd, here is one man who truly lives and breaths his love and embracement of all humanity equally. This can be profoundly confronting to some because it shows what is possible on this planet and how far away we as individuals and as a race have come from this – hence these ridiculous and grotesque accusations. Thank you Elkin for your exposure of these lies in the strength being able to speak from the authority of your Jewish ancestry and your studies.
Very true Josephine. Serge Benhayon “truly lives and breaths his love and embracement of all humanity equally. This can be profoundly confronting to some because it shows what is possible on this planet and how far away we as individuals and as a race have come from this”.
Although some of us appreciate being shown the potential we too can live, some people would rather carry on in the ways that has been shown up, and choose to deal with their discomfort by in effect ‘shooting the messenger’ . Hence Serge gets attacked like these false accusations. He knows some people will do this, yet he never sells anyone short, he remains his all and constantly presents a deep level of love, regardless of what anyone throws at him. He simply loves and honours every single person. It is so inspiring.
The word that shouts out for me is equality – its at the absolute core of everything Serge Benhayon holds dear, and expresses in his life.
Elken, what a beautifully expressed testimony to Serge, Universal Medicine and all that they stand for. “Serge Benhayon lives what he talks. You can see and feel the result of his livingness in his family” this is exactly it. There is nowhere to go with the lies about being anti-semitic, or false allegations of any kind when a family lives as the Benhayons do, with their every breath to bring love to the world – it can be clearly observed, it is about brotherhood and not separation.
Thank you for sharing so powerfully with the full authority of your background and heritage that there is not a shred of anti-Semitism in Serge Benhayon. This begs the question of what is the agenda behind such false accusations when what he presents is about taking responsibility for our own choices and living a life where everyone is treated with equal love and respect? For many this may feel too challenging so it is easier to attack rather than look at their own part in where humanity is currently going wrong.
A stunning example of who Serge Benhayon really is and you obviously have an eye for the real story here Elkan – “The real question here is what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?”
A brilliant article Elkan – putting the record straight as Vicky says and bringing us the facts. The last question you pose is certainly one to consider in full – just what agenda is really behind those that want to harm Serge Benhayon and all that he stands for?
Thank you for writing this article Elkan, I too have attended numerous workshops and sessions with Serge Benhayon and can confirm that ‘I have never heard even one word that was Anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or discriminating, and he is never imposing only ever presenting on our right to listen to our inner most and express our truth.’
Beautiful Elkan, it is true when you say “to life” as this is most certainly the practise of Serge Benhayon in full.
Thank you, Elkan for spelling things out so clearly for us. In the same way that you would sniff out any sign of anti-semitism in Serge’s presentations, within the student body there are all manner of professionals and experts in their field such as doctors, psychologists, social workers etc who are finely attuned to pick up the slightest hint of intent to harm or abuse. In 15 remarkable years of dedicated service delivered by Universal Medicine, there has not been one iota of evidence to back up any of the filthy lies recently being made up about Serge Benhayon.
Absolutely Elkan, it is great to read how much authority you have on this subject and are able to clarify the facts.
Serge Benhayon always talks about the importance of brotherhood and equality, and demonstrates this in his daily life with everyone he meets.. I have never heard one iota of anti-Semitic talk from him. He treats everyone with absolute respect. Humanity would do well to listen and learn from him.
Beautiful article on the truth about Serge Benhayon. Thank you Elkan for putting the records so clear from your personal background and experience. Serge Benhayon is open to everyone and the Way of the Livingness he lives and shares with us all has helped so many change their lives and is offered to the world. Serge is a real inspiration, the real deal, absolute love.
It is very powerful to read truth expressed by someone who knows, as is the case here with Elkan’s blog. Serge Benhayon presents things in a different light, he speaks absolute truth, not convenient, comfortable or familiar ‘truths’ that many of us prefer, or are used to. The truth that he presents is a deep truth that gets beneath racial differences and exposes the absurdity of us clinging to any sense that race sets us apart at all. So far from being racist, he is in fact the absolute opposite.
Thank you Elkan. Its true, our governments could save billions of dollars, pounds, euros etc by implementing the common sense and extremely practical suggestions offered by Serge Benhayon. Your comments are extremely accurate, Serge Benhayon has never said a derogatory word about anyone, he never makes racist or sexist jokes or comments, it is just not his style. What Serge Benhayon has done is enabled 100s of people to re-gain their health and well being and become very active members of our community, transforming our lives and our health beyond all recognition. Serge Benhayon and the self formed Student Body are walking examples of the power of Universal Medicine and your last question is extremely pertinent, why would anyone want to destroy a man who offers true resolution to our self imposed ills?
Wow! What an inspiring and exposing, factual blog to read Elkan. Like Carmel, I am surprised that Serge Benhayon has been accused of being anti-Semitic. Having attended presentations from Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine for over 6 years now, I have never, ever, heard him utter one anti-Semitic word or be anything other than the open and loving man he is for all to see. No hidden agendas, no sides – only walking his talk and delivering Truth, which is sometimes very uncomfortable as I get to really feel how I have been seriously fooled by ideals and beliefs and what I thought Love was.
Bravo Elkan this is a beautiful testament to a truly great man who treats everyone equally no matter where they hail from or what religion they are born into.
Thankyou Elkan for sharing .
I have recently seen your very powerful film L’Chaim! – To Life! It speaks volumes of the lasting horrors and damage of anti-semitism. Serge Benhayon’s support in the making of this film is clear evidence of where he stands. I have attended presentations by Serge Benhayon for 8 years and have heard him question the beliefs and dogma of many religions and cultures but I have never heard a word against the people. Serge Benhayon has a love for all humanity.
Elkan, having just seen your film and having known you for about 5 year I have to say that I have seen much change in the way you work and live and your film was a great insight into a way of life that many live, a film well worth watching. Your question posed at the end here is very important as it exposes the simplicity of what is actually taking place, and really makes me appreciate that Serge Benhayon has made life about other people and not in any way about himself which is the opposite to how most people live in this world.
Well said Elkan – I fully agree with you and know that Serge Benhayon throughout all the years I have known him over 11 now has never once said anything which is racist or derogatory towards anyone, any race or culture – Serge simply presents what he lives and knows to be true. I am no expert on anti-semitism but you sure are Elkan so thank for you setting the record straight.
Thank you Elkan – so beautifully and simply stated with such clarity. In the four years I have been attending Universal medicine events, I have never heard Serge Benhayon say anything anti-Semitic – never! Not even a hint of it. I also agree that ‘Any government should know about these teachings’ shared by Universal Medicine of living from one’s inner heart. It surely would save billions.
Thank you Elken for you clear and truthful statement. In seven years of knowing Serge Benhayon I have never heard him express any anti-Semitic, racist, sexist or derogatory comment about anyone. In fact, one of his guiding principles is that everyone is equal and all humanity is one family.
Thank you Elkan for writing this, it needs to be said, all the unnecessary and damaging lies about Serge Benhayon are totally unfounded and need to be exposed. I have known Serge for 11 years and have never heard him utter one word of anti-semitism ever. Serge does not have a belief system in his body, he has from day one said that we are all equal and he lives by this living principle every single moment of his life. Brotherhood is at the heart of everything he says and presents so your last question Elkin, needs to be asked…What is wrong with the person that makes false allegations, what is the hidden agenda with the people accusing Serge Benhayon of being Anti-Semitic?
Thank you Elkin, for standing so steady and solid in all you have expressed. A living authority on calling anti-semitism of others. My experience of Serge Benhayon has been the same as many many others who know and attend Universal Medicine workshops where there is only ONE religion that is presented and lived, The Way of the Livingness. So what does stop this being studied?
Inspiring read Elkan. It is clear to me that if one is living in an ‘unconscious anti-semitic’ manner then how can they see truth, love and wisdom in all equality that Serge Benhayon brings if one taints all of what they see with such an unconscious view point?
I have seen many cases where we can be so heavily involved in seeing a situation or event in one manner that we are missing seeing the whole of the truth of it. Often we do this because we have been hurt by it and are not being fully honest with ourselves about it.
Hi Elkan, likewise, I was born and raised as a Jew, with a grandfather the only surviving family member from WWII and sat across other family members with numbers tattooed on their arms. I have seen anti-semitisim up close, in their eyes and spray painted on the walls of the school and synagogue I used to attend. It’s easy to throw around the term anti-semetic but it is not something that applies to the 10 years that I have seen, heard and spoken with Serge Benhayon about many things including Judaism.
Fantastic article Elkan. It should be broadcast high and low. Serge Benhayon has never uttered one anti-Semitic word and it is totally appropriate and wonderful that someone who has written a Masters and made a documentary film about unconscious anti-Semitismand who knows it inside out and to the bone should be the one to write this definitive declaration on this state of affairs.
Thank you Elkan. I would love to see your documentary, I can feel a real connection to it even though I haven;’ seen it.
Thank you Elkan for writing this article and providing so much backdrop. I have seen your film (twice) but did not know your personal history. I also had seen a photo of Serge & Miranda at a film festival but didn’t know the connection. I really appreciate having it all tied together. Your comments should be considered those of an “expert” given your education and personal circumstances. Testimonials don’t come much more vibrant than yours. A really well presented case……and to think you did it in a second language!
A power-full piece of writing Elkan, when we write from what we absolutely know, it is always reflected in the writing and you so clearly know this subject. Thank you for bringing a light to bear here. I also did not know any accusations of this sort had been directed at Serge Benhayon but I totally refute them as someone who has attended Universal Medicine for eight years and have never heard one word which could be considered Anti-Semitic.
Elkan you are such an inspiration – I have seen the short film that preceeded the feature length and it was brilliant – truly humanitarian. Your film is universal and holds people in the same equality that you describe Serge Benhayon to embody. Well done for speaking up when you see people being rubbished by liars, there are many that stand back in case they become the targets – and this is why the liars get such a run. You’re awesome.
Well you are definitely the man to put this record straight. You are so right that any government who worked with the teachings Serge Benhayon represents would save themselves billions/trillions of dollars. What he presents and lives has inspired many people around the world to live in a way that is in harmony with who they truly are, including myself. And yes what kind of person would make such a statement regarding Serge that is false? and to be more aware …. of as you say, what is the real reason behind this? One of vindictiveness and spite…..
And if I may add Vicky… jealousy and the rage that brings.
Well said Vicky.
Like you Elkan I have in 11 years not heard any anti-semitism uttered from Serge’s lips or any other derogatory words it is not how he rolls. I also completely agree that – (Any government should know about these teachings, they would save billions of dollars for their Health systems) – the student body should be studied not viewed with suspicion.
Couldn’t agree more. Thank you Vanessa for expressing this.
Thank you for writing this, Elkan. I too was raised Jewish, and my grandmother fled Romania before WWII, while the majority of her family stayed behind and perished in Auschwitz. So I grew up with a very keen sensitivity to anti-semetic sentiment. While I myself do not practice the Jewish religion, I would not be a part of any organization that had anti-semetic, racist, sexist, or ‘anti-any group of people’ philosophies for that matter. I have been a student of Universal Medicine for over three years now and have never heard Serge Benhayon say anything that is even remotely anti-Semetic. Quite the opposite, I have never met anyone that is more loving of all of humanity than Serge is – his example of true brotherhood on the planet inspires me every single day.
Irrefutable Elkan and absolutely pertinent questions at the end. What motivates those who have made a ludicrous number of accusations against Serge and his family? It is hard to find a negative label that the ‘anti’ squad haven’t tried to pin on the Benhayons. While all such have failed to stick, the waters have been and are still being muddied. Why? It is easily recognised that for those willing to do harm the internet and social media have provided a previously unavailable breadth of exposure for perceived but unfounded grievances. It is a snowballing problem that has started to be tackled in the UK but not yet in Australia. Any misanthrope with a keyboard can have a ‘go’ with no responsibility in sight. One of the chief perpetrators of lies and abuse in the Benhayon’s case has freely solicited comments on her blog site stating that no name, no identification not even an email address is required from anyone seeking to comment on the lies she writes. Anonymity and hate, predjudice, bias – the results are putrid. Virtual swastikas, virtual yellow stars….
Hi Elkan, thank you for writing such an article with the authority of your own family background and studies. I wasn’t aware that Serge Benhayon had been accused of being anti-Semitic and was surprised to hear that he had been, because in all his presentations he talks about us all being equal regardless of our religion, and I’ve never heard him say anything derogatory about anyone let alone a whole race of people. Whoever has made this accusation has obviously never met Serge and felt the consistent manner and respect with which he treats everyone
I agree Carmel – ‘Whoever has made this accusation has obviously never met Serge and felt the consistent manner and respect with which he treats everyone’.
True Carmel. I was surprised to hear anyone could accuse Serge Benhayon of being anti anything or anyone. That is not his way. He is the most loving, caring and inclusive person I have come across.
So true Carmel they have obviously never met Serge Benhayon as this ludicrous accusation is the antithesis of the all that he presents.
Elkan your clear and powerful statement leaves no doubt how absurd the accusations against Serge Benhayon, of anti-Semitism are. Thank you for being willing to stand for truth not just for Serge but for everyone via all that you do and all that you are.
Interesting, informative, factual and it reminded me that I would love to see your amazing film again. Thank you Elkan.
Thank you Elkan for writing this article of truth about Serge Benhayon and your experience. I love your question at the end which asks “what is wrong with the person who makes such false accusations and what is the hidden agenda to harm Serge Benhayon?” How awesome would it be if the media did an investigation into this and revealed the truth that what Serge brings and presents brings true healing and absolutely no harm. It would be so refreshing to see this truth printed in the media.
From my experience of Serge’s presentations and workshops I can attest to the fact they have supported me to heal the issues that were stopping me from truly being committed to life. I now live a life where I take responsibility for my choices and support myself in every moment to live as lovingly as I can. This has supported me to deeply connect with myself and everyone I meet and subsequently life is an absolute joy!
Thanks again for your expression.
Bianca
Absolutely Elkan . In any of the workshops or sessions that I have attended with Serge Benhayon I have never heard him utter a racist,sexist or discriminating comment. On the contrary Serge Benhayon presents on Universal Brotherhood and holds all people as equal. To suggest otherwise is absurd given the love he holds for all of humanity.
I agree Annemarie and my experience of Serge and ‘the love he holds for all of humanity’ will be extended to the person who is making the accusations…not his/her behaviour, but the actual person. If only that person could allow him/herself to feel such love.
Very true. Through Serge’s loving example I have learned an enormous amount about the love that can exist between all people. The level of love, care and equality with which he holds every single person in is truly inspiring and has supported me to become a far more open and loving person than I was when I first met him.
