Dreaming of Moshiach

Miracles and Wonders

2011-12-12T18:14:00.005+02:00

Chasdei shamayim I found 2 beautiful segulot which I can personally testify I saw amazing salvation and wanted to share with you, as follows:

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Merimanovben Yosef, zs'kl, promises:
"Whomever will light a candle in my honor every Tuesday, I will personally operate for his salvation"It is a great talisman for salvation in all areas, miracles and wonders, to light a candle in honor of the Tzaddik every Tuesday. Rabbi Meir Abuhatzera, zs'kl, said: "Just to mention the name of the Tzaddik already operates salvation."

The second talisman is lighting candles for Rabbi Matya ben Charash, zs'kl.
From the Medrash Yalkut Shimoni, Vayechi

THE FOLLOWING STORY HAPPENED TO RABBI MATYA BEN CHARASH WHO WOULD ALWAYS BE SITTING IN THE BET HAMIDRASH ENGAGED IN TORAH STUDY AND THE BRILLIANCE OF HIS FACE RESEMBLED THE SUN AND THE APPEARANCE OF HIS FACE RESEMBLED THAT OF THE MINISTERING ANGELS, BECAUSE HE HAD NEVER RAISED HIS EYES TO LOOK AT WOMEN.

Once the Satan fixed his sight on this Tzaddik and said to himself: "Is it possible that this man does not sin? " Then the Satan went and asked G-d: "How do you consider Rabbi Masya Ben Charash?" And G-d replied: "He is a perfect Tzaddik" The Satan said to G-d: "Give me permission to put him to the test". G-d told the Satan: "Go".

The Satan appeared to the Rabbi as a beautiful woman the like of which there had never been in the world. When the Tzaddik saw he immediately turned his face away from the woman. Then the woman quickly moved to the side where Rabbi Matya had turned his face to, and he quickly again turned his face away from that woman. Then the Tzaddik said: "I am afraid that my Yetzer hara (evil inclination) will overpower me and will cause me to sin". What did the Tzaddik do? He called a student that was there with him and ordered him to bring him fire with nails. The student brought him nails and the Tzaddik put them to his eyes and became blind. When the Satan saw this he trembled and fell on his back.

At that time The Holy One Blessed be He called the angel Raphael (for he is in charge of healing) and told him: "Go and heal Rabbi Matya Ben Charash". Then Raphael came in front of the Rabbi and he asked: "Who are you?" and he replied: "I am Raphael the angel, I came for G-d sent me to cure your eyes". And Rabbi Matya replied: "Leave me alone, what is already done is what will be". Raphael returned before the Holy One Blessed be He and said: "Master of the World, thus spoke Matya". G-d said to him: "Go back to him and tell him that I will personally guarantee that the Yetzer Hara will have no power over him". Immediately Raphael went and cured Matya. From here Our Sages said: "All those that are careful not to look at women, the Yetzer hara has no power over them".

Light 18 candles in honor of Rabbi Matya Ben Charash and say Tehillim chapter 86 eighteen (18) times and ask for whatever you need - guaranteed, b'h, you will see miracles!!!!

Bat Aliya

Bat Aliyah is the place where, for years, the blogger wrote about longing to come Home to Israel, even though they were not able to leave America just yet. Then, when they finally made the decision to make aliyah, they began writing about the process of detaching from decades of life in America. Now, B"H, they're finally Home, and write about life as a new immigrant as well as translated messaged from Harav Nir ben Artzi. Check it out at http://bataliyah.blogspot.com/

Guest post by Reb Eliyahu Neyman

The story goes something like this - a religious man got into a taxi cab in Israel and some time into the ride the driver of the cab told the man (his passenger) that he has a friend who also become "religious". Interesting... the passenger thought, and he proceeded to ask the taxi driver what was it that inspired his friend to take on the path of Torah?

The taxi driver then shared the amazing story of how him and his friend where on a camping trip in the wilderness and one night they awoke to the feeling of sheer terror. A huge snake had managed to slither into their quarters and had wrapped itself around the taxi driver's friend's neck! Panic struck and realizing the victim was about to suffocate to death (G-d forbid) the secular young men remembered that before a Jew dies he should say the Shema Yisrael prayer one last time, so in a frantic mode the friend did just that and said the Shema Yisrael almost sure of his impending death in seconds.

After he finished the quick prayer with what was probably a whisper everyone around was witness to a most amazing sight: the snake loosened it's hold and uncoiled from his neck before slithering away entirely!

After that event, the taxi cab driver proceeded to relate, his friend became "religious".

Impressed, inspired and bewildered the passenger of the cab couldn't help but ask one more question - Why aren't you religious then?

The cab driver responded in a short, matter-of-fact and explanatory-tone -- the snake wrapped itself around his friend's neck, not his!

Sadly, how many of us can relate in some way, shape or form to the above true story? No explanation is necessary..

We have now begun the month of Elul and have less than 30 days before Rosh Hashana (The New Year & Jewish Judgement Day).

Rabbi Lazer Brody gave a very insightful Emuna lesson last week based on Torah and current events. I want to share just a few points he presented in his talk live from Yerushalayim. I will try to relate it as best I can with a few quick notes, and a few additions. Please forgive me in advance for any unintentional misrepresentation.

Last week's Parsha was Re'Eh - Hebrew meaning "Look" "See!" The prophet tells us during Shabbos Chazon a few weeks ago that problems arise because we don't open our eyes and look at what Hashem is doing! Rebbe Nachman of Breslev teaches us that we as Jews have to look at the wisdom in Creation and understand that what is happening in the world are really messages from Hashem. A person could be learning Torah all day long but if he/she doesn't relate it to the world at large they are truly disconnected and missing the main point of G-d's active involvement in the world He created and runs, a core principle of our Torah.

Almost two weeks ago the Gaza rocket blitz began in Israel following a deadly and brutal terrorist sabotage and massacre in Eilat. The following week a near magnitude 6 earthquake shook much of the Eastern US. The unprecedentant quake was felt from Atlanta Georgia to Toronto Canada. The two most astonishing impacts were seen right away - damage to the United States National Cathedral in Washington DC that took the form of the top spires (crosses) being knocked off, and a big crack developed in the Washington monument at the Capitol. Speaking of which, both the Capitol and the Pentagon were urgently evacuated as staff feared another attack was in progress (earthquakes just don't happen like that in those parts). With a proverbial snap of the fingers Hashem showed how He can empty out the most powerful nation's capital and pentagon in mere seconds and we don't even have to wait for the next elections!

Note - this quake hit on the exact day (Tuesday) that we read the Torah portion of the day dealing with how to deal with the "false prophet" and a city of idol worship. You connect the dots.

Days later as talk of the quake was still fresh Hurricane Irene paid the Eastern seaboard a tropical visit. Some 65 million people were in the crosshairs of the storm and this week plenty of people are STILL without power around New York.

The Gemara points out that Hashem brings tremors to the world to straighten out crooked hearts. Rebbe Nachman explains that one with a straight heart is happy and the Pittsburgher Rebbe illustrates that a person with a straight heart is on a higher level than a tzaddik! Remember, happiness is synonymous with holiness. Don't be fooled by "religious" looking people who chronically walk around with a frown and constantly look down on others. Where happiness is lacking, holiness is as well. Besides, anyone can wear a costume and it's easier to grow out a beard than to change a negative character trait. But Hashem wants the heart and He's not fooled by outward appearance.

Hashem then sometimes has to intervene and straighten out our hearts if we don't do it ourselves.

A religious community in Israel hired a contractor to build a new shul. Well, the contractor decided to cut a few corners and save some time and money in a not-so-honest way. In effect, instead of the traditional method of making a solid concrete foundation on top of sand and only then topping it off with a tile floor he went ahead and quietly put the tile onto the sand. When the religious community found out although too late to do anything about it, they became angry and quite upset at the contractor. They didn't realize that according to the first principle of Emuna it was Hashem and NOT the contractor who decided their shul was going to be built like that.

This latest rocket barrage that affected Israel demonstrated the big picture quite well...one of the warheads fired from Gaza went through the roof of that shul during morning prayers, pierced the paper thin tile floor of the synagogue, hit the sand underneath and DID NOT EXPLODE! Had their been a layer of concrete, which would normally be the case in an 'honest job' that shell would have most likely detonated and G-d forbid what would have been. Nobody was hurt that day in that synagogue.

Rabbi Shalom Arush Shlita says that if the UN recognizes a Palestinian State this month, then it looks like we're headed toward an almost certain war situation, G-d forbid.

It's no longer business as usual, the world is changing fast. Hashem wants to bring Moshiach and change the world into a place of true peace and spirituality. But for that to happen we have to work on becoming proper vessels for that light and that new reality.

It is said that the miracles of the Final Redemption will make the miracles of the Exodus from Egypt look like Sesame Street in comparison. Apparently we are going to need those miracles with the way things have been stacking up in the world.

It is now the second day of Elul, we are less than 30 days from Rosh Hashana and this last month of the year is perhaps the most conducive time on the Jewish calendar for Teshuva. This word Teshuva, sometimes referred to by "repentance" actually means to "Return", to "come home". Our task is to bring our hearts back to Hashem. Hashem is our Loving Father and He is waiting for us. He wants to give us the satisfaction of initiating the relationship with Him.

A core spiritual principle is when we arouse ourselves here below the spiritual cause and effect initiates an arousal of Heavenly mercy from Above onto the Jewish people.

So what's it mean to wake up? We have to ask ourselves: Do I have the same prejudices as I did last year? Do I love every Jew?

Our free choice in life really boils down to one point: Desire - Ratzon (Hebrew)

We must ask ourselves - Do we desire to do Hashem's will? Do we desire to get closer to Hashem?

Do I really love You?

Do I really want to eat kosher?

Do I really want to keep the Shabbat?

Hashem wants our heart, Hashem wants our Desire.

Let's do our part to work on our Desire and do all we can to make Hashem's Desire a reality - a world of peace, harmony and love. A world guided by the light of Divine inspiration where humanity is busy with doing the Will of its Maker and busy learning about Hashem.

G-d created all of the spiritual worlds and yet he Desired to have a dwelling place right here, in the lowest of all worlds - our physical world. It's our job to do our part. We know He will do the rest!

Chodesh Tov and may you and your family be inscribed for a Holy, Happy & Healthy New Year!

Terrorist Attacks

2011-03-24T14:56:00.005+02:00

I work about 200 ft from where the bomb exploded and at about 3 pm we felt a huge force and heard a loud explosion. Never been exposed to bombings, I was sure it was purim firecrackers... . Someone with more experience said that it sounds like a terrorist bombing... I didn't believe that it could even be a possibility...

We started hearing loud sirens coming from all directions and saw people running... My co worker went outside and called my cell to tell me it was a terrorist bomb and I should stay put in the office... It took me about an hour to calm down till I was able to gather myself to go outside... The streets were closed to traffic and people for security reasons. I just wanted to get away from the havoc. I found a sidestreet that was somewhat less crowded and people were allowed to go thru. I walked and walked and walked thanking HKB'H that I'm alive and able to thank Him. When I finally got home I just wanted to get into bed... I just wanted to sleep... B'h, this morning was easier and went to work normally b'h.

May we only hear good news and may the Geula come with much needed mercy, amen.
ברוך אתה הטוב והמטיב

Divine Providence

2011-01-18T10:50:00.003+02:00

The brand new Rabbi and his wife were newly assigned to their first congregation to reopen a Shul in suburban Brooklyn. They arrived in early February excited about their opportunities. When they saw their Shul, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Erev Puirm. They worked hard, repairing aged pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on 8th of the Adar (February 17th) they were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On February 19 a terrible snowstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. On the 21st, the Rabbi went over to the Shul. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high. The Rabbi cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Erev Purim service, headed home.

On the way home, he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity, so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Mogen David embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the Shul. By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The Rabbi invited her to wait in the warm Shul for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the Rabbi while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The Rabbi could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area.

Then the Rabbi noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Rabbi, "she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The Rabbi explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Poland. The woman could hardly believe it as the Rabbi told how he had just gotten "The Tablecloth".

The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Poland. When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to a camp and never saw her husband or her home again. The Rabbi wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the Rabbi keep it for the Shul. The Rabbi insisted on driving her home. That was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.

What a wonderful service they had on Erev Purim . The Shul was almost full. The Service was great. At the end of the service, the Rabbi and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the Rabbi recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the Rabbi wondered why he wasn't leaving. The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Poland before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike? He told the Rabbi how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a camp. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years between.

The Rabbi asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the Rabbi had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Erev Purim reunion he could ever imagine.

Based on a true story; God does work in mysterious ways!

Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer:

"Hashem, bless all my friends and family in what ever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their lives be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with You. Amen."

Carmel Disaster

2010-12-06T12:13:00.005+02:00

קטעים במלכים א', י"ח
וַיִּשְׁלַח אַחְאָב בְּכָל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת הַנְּבִיאִים אֶל הַר הַכַּרְמֶל...
וַתִּפֹּל אֵשׁ יְהֹוָה וַתֹּאכַל אֶת הָעֹלָה וְאֶת הָעֵצִים וְאֶת הָאֲבָנִים
וְאֶת הֶעָפָר וְאֶת הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר בַּתְּעָלָה לִחֵכָה:
וַיַּרְא כָּל הָעָם וַיִּפְּלוּ עַל פְּנֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ יְהֹוָה הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים ...
וַיְהִי עַד כֹּה וְעַד כֹּה וְהַשָּׁמַיִם הִתְקַדְּרוּ עָבִים וְרוּחַ וַיְהִי גֶּשֶׁם גָּדוֹל ...

From Kings I, 18
...Ahab sent for all the children of Israel and got the prophets together at Mount Carmel
...Then the fire of HaShem came down burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.
...And when the people saw it they all went down on their faces and said HaShem is the Elokim.
...And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain.

The Tefillin

2010-11-30T11:13:00.013+02:00

As per Tamar Yonah's request, the following true story was told by the Rabbi of the shul ...

After serving 3 long years in the Israeli army, he decided that it was time to travel the world and experience the freedom he so desperately needed. He packed his bags and kissed his family goodbye. At the airport his father handed him his Tefillin (phylacteries) bag and told him that even though it's been years since he last put on his Tefillin, he should start putting them on every day and this will be his protection. The son promised his dad that every morning regardless where he will be, he will put on the Tefillin.

A week passed, 10 days passed, 2 weeks passed, and finally the son called his family to let them know that everything's ok. His dad asked him if he puts on the Tefillin and the son assured his father that it's the first thing he does upon awakening up. The son continued with his travelling and from time to time called his family. In every phone conversation the father asked the son if he puts on Tefillin and the son would answer the same thing every time, "Yes father. I put on the Tefillin every morning".

Three months went by and the travel money was dwindling. The son called his father to send him more money and the father wanted to know if the son was putting on Tefillin. The son got angry at his father for asking the same question every time and hung up the phone angrily. Having no choice and no money, the son returned to Israel feeling that the sudden slash of his travel experience was his father's fault and decided that he is no longer speaking to his father.

A day after his return to Israel, his father asked the son if he put on Tefillin and the son yelled at his father that he puts it on everyday and to stop asking him the same question all the time. The father asked his son to give him the Tefillin bag and the son angrily handed it to him. The father's hand was shaking as he opened his son's Tefillin bag and suddenly out of the bag he pulled out a bundle of money. The father told his son, "If you would have put on the Tefillin as you said you did, you would have found the $5,000 I sent you for additional travelling expenses".

Since that day the son attends daily morning prayer and puts on his Tefillin. He hasn't missed one minyan since...

Life and Death are in the Hands of the Tongue

2010-08-26T21:57:00.002+03:00

Life and death are in the hands of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Sometimes we do not take this biblical phrase literally, because talking about other people may have become a pastime. We can feel good about ourselves by noting other people’s faults. Gossip can help us prove that we are the better one. And sometimes, it’s easier to learn Torah and pray.

If we stopped for a moment and realized that the above biblical phrase is literal, we would make a more conscious effort to think every time we uttered a word. If we realized that every word that goes out of our mouth goes straight up to Heaven and creates a negative prosecution for the person we are speaking about, we may think twice. Particularly if the person we are speaking about is someone close to us. If we also realized that the person can come to harm if he or she has enough negative prosecutions, then we may prefer to remain silent.

In the Chofetz Chaim: A Lesson a Day we read, “Satan, the Heavenly Prosecutor, is always ready with his accusation, but he needs a second witness to set the judicial process in motion. Hashem has granted each Jew the power to act as a witness and thus take part in opening a case against another Jew. Loshon hara has the drastic effect of turning oneself into Satan’s corroborating witness.” In other words, when we speak about another person, Satan has what he needs to begin prosecution against the person we are speaking about. The Zohar takes this one step further and tells us that the words we use here are the same words Satan uses in Heaven.

Let’s say we are angry with our spouse. Today he or she may have left a small mess after dinner. We become angry and may inadvertently mouth off a string of unpleasant words. The following day, this happens again and we follow the same routine. Then, at work, his or her co-workers are angry because the job they expected finished wasn’t. Then he may enter the synagogue and have a disagreement with one of the members. Finally, when he comes home, he is sick, or he discovers that a deal he had so hoped would help his finances has fallen through. Could it be that our negative words or feelings actually harm our spouse, children, parents, and friends? Could it be that some of the words we used against them are the same words used in prosecution against them?

When one person is angry with another person, he can also get a group of people to empathize with his predicament, and then create several negative prosecutions in Heaven all at once to the determent of the person spoken about. Often when we have negative feelings, we don’t connect them to their effects. And often, we don’t wish our fellow Jew harm, especially not those closest to us. But in Heaven, every word and every thought counts. At the Bedtime Shema, we tell God that we forgive every Jew, those who have wronged us through speech, deed, thought, or notion.

The Vilna Gaon tells us that “…the mouth is the Holy of Holies;” holier, in fact, than Torah learning. If the whole Torah is based on loving our neighbor as ourselves, this is not surprising. If we can change circumstances with fervent prayer, then we can create negative effects with derogatory speech. This ability comes with the free will we have on earth. Every moment is a choice.

There is a purpose for speech, although, and that is to praise God by prayer and daily blessings. “This people I formed for Myself; they shall recite My praise. (Yeshayahu 43:21). There is a worldwide awakening toward this trend. People are beginning to practice gratitude and praise. Judaism is a leader in praise, as this is the way of life for a practicing Jew. We praise almost every movement we make throughout the day. Psalm 150 details a future redemptive era of pure praise when the whole world will be praising God. If we remember this throughout the day, then we may remember to choose to use speech to praise God so that we may come closer to greeting Moshiach in our day.

Showdown

2010-06-24T20:55:00.004+03:00

Israel Independence Day, established on May 14, 1948, the 5th day of the Hebrew month of Iyyar, fell out this year on April 19, 2010. (The Jewish calendar follows the Lunar cycle calendar.)

On the evening of April 19, 2010, (the 6th of Iyyar; the Jewish day starts the night before), Fox News reports President Obama's decision that the U.S. will no longer automatically support Israel in the United Nations. Never before in U.S. history has a Presidential administration made such a declaration.

The next day, on April 20, 2010, the 6th of Iyyar, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explodes, creating the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, one of the largest in world history with no end in sight.

Besides the enormous environmental effect, the economic effect could reach $100 billion.

The long term health consequences of the spill & cleanup on the U.S. & global population remain unknown.

In the Book of Genesis (chapter 12, verse 2-3), G-d tells Abraham, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse ... ."

Alon's Clinical Death Story

The Great Miracle of the Volcano Shutdown

2010-04-25T14:37:00.014+03:00

A universal crisis, millions of people stranded, billions of dollars lost, and one volcanic eruption in Iceland causes chaos across the European continent. Within all these tumult, one Jew merits a smile of loveliness from the Creator of the World, as if whispering to him - my son, the whole world was not created except for you כל העולם לא נברא אלא בשבילי.

The story begins with a young Yeshiva student, an 18 year old Yerushalmi, that came down with a fulminate hepatic failure and was mortally ill.

With little hope of receiving a liver transplant in Israel, Rav Firer sought to send the boy emergency to Brussels, the world center of liver transplants. The only problem however, is that Brussels under no circumstances transplants non-EU patients in order to save the scanty supply of livers for Europeans. Nevertheless, it was decided to send him to Brussels despite the full knowledge of negligible chance of receiving a liver.

The young Yeshiva student had no choice but to include his name to the long waiting list for a liver transplant. In the meantime, he tried to maintain his learning despite the illness, consciously aware that it will takes weeks, months, and even years till he will be able to be given a new liver. Many patients were on the waiting list, and his name was somewhere on the bottom... And when his turn does finally arrive, it must completely match his blood type and other medical criteria. If it's not a perfect match, he will need to continue waiting ... for a miracle.

However, רבות מחשבות בלב איש ועצת ה' היא תקום Many thoughts in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of HaShem shall stand. HaShem had a different plan for this young Yeshiva student and HaShem's loyal servants produced avalanches of hot ash, rock and gas on Europe, causing Europe to completely shut down its skies into a no-fly zone. No one can leave and no one can enter; a self-imposed siege in the euro zone skies. It is during this time that a young religious Yerushalmi man in the capital of Belgium is sitting in the yeshiva learning Torah.

During the course of the shut down airspace above Europe, a person dies in the hospital in the capital of Belgium, a person whom agreed to donate his liver to anyone that might need it. Astonishingly, a liver that is perfectly parametric for our young Yeshiva student.

Health authority of Belgium began searching the liver transplant waiting list but ‘unfortunately’, not even one patient was able to fly into Belgium for the very needed healthy liver transplant due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland.

As they advanced further on the waiting list, they reached the young Yeshiva student. However it was not offered to the boy due to his lack of citizenship. As the clock closed in on the deadline for time in which the the liver's lifespan for transplanting, the precious healthy liver cannot be wasted and must be swiftly replaced with a diseased liver, no one else was able to arrive in Belgium for the transplant except this young Yerushalmi.

With the clear Divine Intervention, this budding talmid chacham received the liver and is now recovering from surgery.

The enormity of this miracle was even greater after the successful liver transplant. The doctors said that the young yeshiva student's liver was very deteriorated and diseased and it was a matter of days his liver would stop functioning completely. The doctors unanimously believe that if this young man had to continue waiting for the liver transplant, he would have been long dead.

Dramatic Secrets of Megilat Esther

2010-02-24T18:42:00.002+02:00

Prior to Achashverosh's marriage to Vashti, the daughter of King Belshazar, he was a stable boy in Babylonia. HaShem made him very rich and this is how he bought his way into the kingdom and became a king over 127 countries.

Mordechai HaYehudi's, zs'kl, full name is Mordechai ben Yair ben Shimi ben Kish from the tribe of Binyamin. In the whole world there was no righteous man like him in his generation.
His name was 'Ben Yair' because he lit Am Israel with HaShem's Torah.
'Ben Shimi' because HaShem heard his prayers.
'Ben Kish' because he knocked on the gates of mercy and it opened up for him.

He was one of the Sanhedrin and knew all 70 languages. There was no one smarter than him in his generation.

Mordechai HaYehudi taught Torah in Eretz Israel until the Babylonian exile. But in Bavel he found no rest and returned to Eretz Israel. When he heard about his aunt's death and Esther, a'h, is an orphan without parents, he returned to Bavel to raise her as his daughter. Mordechai HaYehudi moved with Esther to the capital city of Shushan and built a Bet Midrash.

When the command of King Achashverosh to find him a wife was announced, Esther hid in her house for 4 years. During these 4 years, Achashverosh did not yet find a wife and announced all over his kingdom that any girl that does appear in front of him, her judgment is death. He also sent messengers to every city to find maiden girls and that's how Esther was discovered. She was immediately taken to the palace of the king.

Esther was different from all the other girls, she had no requests from Hagai, the girl's security guard. She refused to put on makeup, perfumed, decorate herself with beautiful jewelry, refused to even try on beautiful clothing, and she refused to eat any food prepared in the palace because they were not kosher. She kept alive by eating seeds and drinking water.

On the day she was due to be presented to the king, Hagai forced her to put on jewelry against her wishes. He was afraid that he'll be killed if Esther is presented to the king without perfumes and jewelry.

When the king saw Esther, he was astounded by her beauty. He looked at a picture of Vashti and admitted that Esther is much more beautiful. That moment he decided that this girl is worthy to be the queen.

He removed Vashti's picture from the wall and replaced it with Esther's picture. In order for Queen Esther to know what day is Shabbat, she had 7 maidservants for each day of the week. Each girl was named the day of the week and when it was the 7th maidservants day, Esther knew it was Shabbat kodesh.

From the day Esther HaMalka was taken from Mordechai HaYehudi's home, Mordechai HaYehudi would walk around daily near the garden of the women's home and would inquire about Esther HaMalka. He would teach her how to behave amongst non-Jews and strangers. He warned her not to reveal her nationality and not to tell Achashverosh that she was Jewish. Even though Achashverosh would frequently ask her information about her nationality, she obeyed Mordechai HaYehudi's instructions and did not reveal.

This secret drove Achashverosh crazy and was dying of curiosity to know. He commanded his servants to send expensive gifts to every city in his kingdom. Achashverosh thought to himself that when Esther HaMalka will see that he improves the conditions of her nation, she will reveal her secret. But Esther HaMalka continued keeping silence. This made Achashverosh very angry and he threatened her that he will again gather all maiden girls from all the countries and find a new queen to replace her. But courageous Esther HaMalka was not afraid to lose the crown and did not reveal a thing to the king.

In a small town in Persia lived a man named Haman (imach shemo). He had 10 sons and they were extremely poor. Even though Haman worked hard for a livelihood, he did not succeed providing for his family. The hunger in the family was overwhelming and Haman decided to join the army because it was a time of war and much money was being offered to anyone that will join the fight. Together with other soldiers, Haman went out to the battlefield and it was a very difficult war. Many died and some soldiers ran away because they were afraid. Haman also ran away to the desert. He was tired, hungry, and lonely in the desolate desert. He was almost dying when he suddenly saw a Jew. The Jew offered him some of his dry bread and water. After eating and drinking, Haman said to the Jew, "I don't have any money to repay your kindness. Therefore, I will be your servant for life." With this, he pricked his finger and with the blood of his finger, he signed the deal on a piece of paper. It stated "I, Haman ben Hamdata, is hereby obligated to be your servant for eternity."

Haman returned to the battlefield and he saw that his regiment were winning the enemy. He returned with his regiment to the army main office and got paid handsomely. He quickly returned home with the money but it was very quickly spent and again they had no food. Haman suggested to his wife that they move out of the village into the city and hopefully, he will be able to find decent work with decent pay. They quickly packed up the little they had and went towards the city. On their way Haman found a great treasure hidden inside a pit. They were treasures from the kingdom of Yehuda and from the Bet HaMikdash. He took the treasures to the capital city of Shushan, purchased a great big home with orchards and vineyards. His money grew daily and everyone agreed that there is no richer man than Haman in the land. When Achashverosh heard about this rich man Haman, he invited him to his palace and appointed him as his advisor.

When Esther HaMalka was chosen to replace Vashti, Haman decided to flatter her. Even though he wished the king would marry his daughter, he knew that it would be in his best interest to be loyal to the Queen so he will be able to obtain anything he wishes from the king.

Achashverosh gradually promoted Haman and placed him as his personal body guard. Haman was considered to be the most important minister and everyone bowed down to him whenever he passed by them - except Mordechai HaYehudi. While everyone was quivering when Haman passed by and would immediately bow down to him, Mordechai HaYehudi stood up courageously. Everyone was surprised by Mordechai HaYehudi's courage to publicly humiliate the most important minister.

They asked him if he is not afraid of punishment and Mordechai HaYehudi would answer, "Who is this Haman I should bow down to him? He is a human being like all of us. I only bow down to the Creator of the World." "But didn't your father Yaakov Avinu and his sons (a'h) bow down to Esav?" the people inquired. Mordechai HaYehudi replied, "Yaakov Avinu and his sons bowed down to Esav before Binyamin (a'h) was born. I am from the tribe of Binyamin and the same way Binyamin did not bow down to humans, I, too, will not bow down to any humans."

Haman was furious and wanted his revenge on Mordechai HaYehudi. As a matter of fact, he hated all Jews and wanted to kill the entire Jewish nation. When he cast a lot when to kill the Jews, at that same hour, the Divine Spirit said, "Wicked son of wicked! You will not cast a lot on Am Israel but on yourself. Am Israel will be saved."

When the month of Adar came out in the lot, Haman decided that it was the best month to kill the Jews. "The astrology sign of Adar is fish and the same way fish are easily caught and killed, I will easily erase the nation of the Jews."

HaShem heard this and said, "Wicked, you are happy prior to your event. Do you not know that although fish get swallowed easily, but sometimes, they also swallow quickly. Am Israel will not fall in your hands but you will fall in theirs."

Haman went with his devious plans to king Achashverosh and convinced him to allow him to wipe off the Jewish nation. Achashverosh hated the Jews no less but was afraid of their great G.OD. "Their G.od loves the chosen nation and He punishes anyone that tries harming them. Do you not remember the terrible 10 plagues He brought on the Egyptians? How He took out His nation on dry land in the sea? He drowned 600,000 strong Egyptian men in the sea. Their great and awesome G.od used the stars to bring down the powerful Sisra. No one was able to kill Sisra till G.od gave him into the hands of the woman Yael (a'h). The G.od of Israel watches and protects His nation and punishes their enemies. We cannot win the nation of Israel, let's leave them alone and no harm will come to us."

Haman was not discouraged and said, "Don't be afraid of the G.od of Israel. The Jewish nation sinned against Him and He is angry at them. Therefore, the G.od of Israel will give you the power to wipe them out."

But Achashverosh was afraid to harm the chosen nation. Haman told him, "I can give you proof that the Jewish nation is not loyal to their G.od and neither to their king. Call any Jew right now and place in front of him 2 glasses of wine. In one glass will be a dead fly and in the other glass, you will take a sip from it in front of him. When you will offer the Jew which glass he will choose to drink from, the Jew will choose the first glass, the one with the dead fly rather that the glass you drank from." This angered Achashverosh and he angrily said, "Am I so despised by the Jewish nation?" He immediately called his advisors to ask them their opinion.

When the advisors heard the plan, they panicked. "Honorable King! Don't do it ever. If Am Israel will be wiped away, the world will immediately destruct. The world will not survive even an hour without Am Israel. The world was created for Am Israel, the chosen nation of the powerful G.od. Without Bnei Israel in the world, there will be no sun, no moon, no stars, no rain, no dew, no earth, no food..."

Haman would not quit. "It's true the G.od of Israel is powerful but that was a long long time ago. He got old and cannot save them. How did king Nevuchadnetzar enter the Holy Temple and burned it down completely? How did he take the Jews into captivity and their G.od did nothing?" When the advisors and the king heard this, they had no answer and it agreed then and there to wipe out the Jewish nation.

When the non-Jews heard that 13 of Adar is the day that all Jews will be killed, haters of the Jews started abusing the Jews. They no longer wanted to employ Jews and many Jews lost their jobs and livelihood. They made the Jews' life miserable and all that was left was for the Jews to turn to HaShem for help.

While announcements to kill the Jews on Adar 13 were being posted all over the countries, the king and Haman had a wine party. During the party, Haman asked from Achashverosh to purchase all the Jews to do as he pleases with them. Achashverosh did not agree, "The nation of the Jews are in my trust and I'm responsible for them as long as they live in my countries. I have no permission to sell them. What am I going to answer the G.od of the Jews when G.od will demand them from me? What will I say? With what can I justify? Let's cast a lot, we will choose one to be "nation" and the other "money". When I will randomly choose and 'nation' wins, I'll not sell them but if "money" wins, I agree to sell them to you and you can do whatever you choose with them."

Haman agreed and they cast a lot. Achashverosh chose one of the notes and opened it. The word "money" was chosen and this is how it was decreed on Am Israel to be sold to the wicked Haman.

After wicked Haman (yimach shemo) signed the letters of decree to kill all Jews, young to old, children, women and men in one day, wicked Haman was overjoyed and walked with his entourage in the streets of Shushan. Ahead of him, he met up with Mordechai HaYehudi, zs'l, who was walking in front of him. Mordechai HaYehudi saw 3 children coming from school, and he ran after them. Haman and his entourage wanted to know why Mordechai HaYehudi was running after the schoolchildren, so they followed him.

Mordechai HaYehudi asked one of the children to quote a verse and the young boy answered,
"אל תירא מפחד פתאום ומשואת רשעים כי תבוא".
Do not be afraid of sudden terror, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it comes;

The second child quoted:
עוצו עצה ותופר דברו דבר ולא יקום כי עמנו אל
Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.

The third child quoted:
ועד זקנה אני הוא ועד שיבה אני אסבול אני עשיתי ואני אשא ואני אסבול ואמלט
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

When Mordechai HaYehudi heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed. Wicked Haman asked, "Why are you so happy over the words of these children?" Mordechai HaYehudi replied "They told me good news - that I should not fear the evil advice you advised against us."

Esther HaMalka did not know about Achashverosh and Haman's decree against the Jews. She was very surprised to hear from her maidservants that Mordechai HaYehudi is walking around the palace garden dressed in sack. She immediately sent Hatach, one of her servants, to inquire from Mordechai HaYehudi the reason for the sack and she also sent him clothing to remove the sack. But Mordechai HaYehudi refused to remove the sack and told Hatach, "Am Israel are in trouble and I should wear royal clothing? I will not remove the sack till the Merciful One annuls this decree. Go to Esther HaMalka and tell her the terrible decree that was decreed on our nation and ask her to go to the king to beg him to cancel it."

When Esther HaMalka heard the message, she became petrified and transferred thru Hatach a message to Mordechai HaYehudi, "How can I beg the king to cancel the decree when I cannot even say that I'm from the Jewish nation? I did everything you instructed me to do and did not tell the king I am from the nation of the Jews. How can I now tell him that I am a Jewess? Also, there is a law in the land that no one may enter infront of the king without royal permission and only Haman can give this permission. I was not called to come to the king 30 days."

When Hatach attempted to pass Esther HaMalka's message to Mordechai HaYehudi, Haman killed him. HKB'H said, "Because wicked Haman killed the messenger of Esther HaMalka and Mordechai HaYehudi, I'll send Angels Micha'el and Gavriel to act as the messengers."

The 2 angels came to Mordechai HaYehudi and told him Esther HaMalka's message. Mordechai HaYehudi replied his message to Esther HaMalka, "Know this Esther HaMalka, you were chosen to be the queen only for the purpose to save your nation. If you keep silent now, salvation will come from a different source and the home of your father will be lost. Why are you afraid of this wicked person? Is he stronger than Amalek who fought against Am Israel and lost? Is he stronger than the 31 kings that gathered to fight against Am Israel and Yehoshua bin Nun (zs'l) killed them with one blow? Is he stronger than Sisra, the strongest man on earth, and HaShem gave him into the hands of a woman? Is he stronger than the giant Goliath that Dovid HaMelech (zs'l) killed him with a rock and beheaded him? Don't be afraid. Be strong and the HaShem will help you."

"If you refuse to help your nation that are now in great trouble, know that you will not escape punishment if tragedies befalls on them. The day will come when you will need to answer the Heavenly court why you did not help your nation. What will you answer?"

"I'm asking you to collect courage and go to the king to ask mercy for your nation. HaShem hears your prayers and will protect and save you from any harm."

When Esther HaMalka heard this, she sent the messengers back, "I completely agree to fulfill your request. I will approach the king and will have no pity on my life. I prefer to be killed in this world rather than lose my portion in the world to come. But only one thing I ask from you: Gather all the Jews of Shushan and fast for me 3 days and 3 nights and I and my maidservants will also fast. Afterwards, I will approach the king."

Mordechai HaYehudi announced a 3 day fast and on the first night of Pesach, he gathered all the Jews of Shushan for prayers and repentance. 12,000 Kohanim stood infront of the nation, in their right hands they held Shofars and in the left hand, they held Torah. With tears, they begged HaShem, "Our G.od and the G.od of our fathers, if You will destruct us, who will read from the holy Torah that You gave us? Who will remember Your name? Even the sun and the moon will not light their light to the world because they were created only for Am Israel."

The Jews fell on their faces and cried, "Answer us, our HaShem, answer us." For a long long time they continued praying, yelling, begging HaShem to annul the decree. They blew shofars till the High Ministers Angels of Shamayim cried together with them.

Mordechai HaYedudi knew that young children are pure without sin and their prayers will reach the Heavenly Throne. He gathered 22,000 children to the Bet Midrash and the children sat around him, crying and screaming, with sacks and ashes on them, learning Torah while fasting for 3 whole days and nights.

Esther HaMalka did the same inside her palace. She fasted for 3 days and prayed non-stop. She begged HaShem to have mercy on her and her nation. On the fourth day, she dressed in her royal clothing including the royal crown. Before exiting towards the garden of the palace, Esther HaMalka stood humbled with a shaking heart and called out to HaShem.

"HaShem my King and HaShem of my fathers, HaShem of Avraham, HaShem of Yitzchak, HaShem of Yaakov, and HaShem of Binyamin, my father. I know why I was chosen to be the queen and it was not because of my deeds. It is to save Am Israel from our enemies. Today I go to fulfill my obligation. Please HaShem, help me do what I am obligated to do. If Your children will be destroyed from the earth, who will say 3 times a day to You "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh?". "Look at us and see what has become of us. The king sold us for 10,000 silver money and Haman wants to wipe us off the face of the earth."

"Please HaShem, look at my tears. Remember Avraham Avinu that passed all the 10 tests You gave him. Have mercy on us in his Zechut. 3 days I fasted to remind You the 3 days that Avraham Avinu walked to fulfill Your command to kill his son as a Korban on the Mizbe'ach. You promised him that this act will forever be in favor of Your children in time of trouble. 3 days I did not eat or drink keneged the 3 ways You divided Your nation: Kohen, Levi, and Israel. They all stood infront of You at Har Sinai and called out loudly, "Naase Ve Nishma, We will do and we will listen. If all these are not enough merits to save us, please listen to the High Heavenly Ministers that are crying and begging YOU to have mercy on us."

"HaShem is merciful and compassionate. Please have mercy on me when I come infront of the king to ask for mercy for Your nation. Please send a merciful angel infront of me so I will find favor in the King's eyes so he will agree to listen to my words. Please listen to me as You heard the prayers of Chanania, Misha'el, and Azaria (a'h) and as you saved Daniel (zs'l) from the lion's den, save us too from those that wish to kill us."

Three maidservants accompanied Esther HaMalka. One on her right, one on her left and the third one behind carrying the rims of her royal clothing. The Creator of the World placed the Divine Spirit on Esther HaMalka and 'dressed' her with the Divine Spirit which added more beauty to her image.

When the guards saw Esther HaMalka approaching the King's palace, they were shocked at her courage. They knew she was not called upon to visit the king. The guards were wicked and they thought to themselves, "I wish the queen would be killed so we can have her royal clothing." The way the security guards were watching her made Esther HaMalka feel very frightened.

When she passed by the idols inside the palace, the Divine Spirit left her. Esther HaMalka felt it and called out in fear to HaShem, "אלי אלי למה עזבתני My Go.d, My G.od, why did You leave me? Why do You leave me alone as a sheep amongst 70 wolves? You know that I'm not going to the king for personal gain. Only for the safety of Am Israel."

Esther HaMalka's pure prayer reached the Heavenly Throne and immediately, HaShem sent 3 angels to protect and strengthen Esther HaMalka. One angel raised her neck so she looked tall and impressive. The second angel pulled a heavenly pipe full of charm and beauty for Esther HaMalka.

When King Achashverosh heard that Esther HaMalka is in the garden, he got very angry and thought to himself, "When I asked my previous wife Vashti, to appear in front of me, she refused. And this wife comes when I didn't instruct her." He turned his face sideways so not to look at Esther HaMalka but that moment, the third angel turned his face directly towards Esther HaMalka.

When Achashverosh saw Esther HaMalka, his heart was instantly filled with love for her and he stretched out his golden scepter. The golden scepter miracleously stretched till the garden. But after 3 days and nights of fasting, Esther HaMalka was too weak and had no strength to stretch her hand to touch the scepter. Instantly, angel Micha'el raised her hand and neared her to the king's scepter.

That second, Achashverosh jumped out of his royal chair and ran to Esther HaMalka. His face became very gentle and he said to Esther HaMalka, "I see that your request is very big and you are even willing to die for it. Nothing is too big for me to fulfill you wish; half of my kingdom I'll give you. Just don't ask me to build the Holy Temple for the Jews because I already promised I'll never built it."

When Esther HaMalka heard this, she thought it's not the right time to mention that she's a Jewess. Instead she requested that Achashverosh and Haman join her for a party she prepared for them.

When Esther HaMalka returned to her palace, she thought over what just transpired and was glad that she also invited Haman to the party. "This way Achashverosh will feel jealous and think that I prefer Haman over him and the decree to kill all the Jews will be cancelled."

That evening, Achashverosh and Haman went to Esther HaMalka's party. During the meal, Haman removed his crown from his head and put it on the side. Esther HaMalka did the same and placed her crown next to Haman's crown. She moved her royal chair closer to Haman's chair and even poured wine for Haman. While observing this, Achashverosh was bewildered at Esther HaMalka's sweet treatment to Haman.

When the party was over, Esther HaMalka asked that they return tomorrow for another party. They both accepted the invitation.

When Haman exited the palace, he saw Mordechai HaYehudi sitting at the gate and Mordechai HaYehudi raised his leg at Haman. Haman saw that on the shoe was glued the piece of paper of the deal he had a long time ago with Mordechai HaYehdi in the desert. When Haman remembered it, he got very angry. When he got home he called his wife and advisors to advise how he should punish Mordechai HaYehudi. His wife Zeresh, i's, said, "Mordechai is a Jew. You will not be able to punish and kill him because His G.od is with him. If you will throw him into a fire, he will be saved just as Chanania, Misha'el and Azaria (a'h) were saved. If you place him in jail, he will be freed just like his great grandfather was freed, Yosef HaTzaddik (a'h). If you banish him to the desert, nothing will happen to him just like his fathers lived in the desert in peace for 40 years. If you poke out his eyes you will not succeed just like what happened to the heroic Shimshon (zs'l) when he killed all the palestinians when he was blinded. You must hang him on a tall tree because no one from his nation was ever saved from hanging."

Haman liked his wife's advise and instead of going to sleep, he immediately went out searching for a tree to hang Mordechai HaYehudi. After much search, he was unable to find a tall tree but suddenly he remembered that he has a tall tree in his backyard. He called his servants to retrieve it. This tree plank was leftover from the ark that Noach (zs'l) built.

That hour, the Heavenly Divine Voice said, "Haman, this tree that you are preparing is going to be used for you."

Wicked Haman looked out from his bedroom at the tree prepared for Mordechai HaYehudi and felt a sudden urge to see him. The strong feeling to find Mordechai HaYehudi became too powerful and he got dressed and went searching for him. He found Mordechai HaYehudi in the Bet Midrash with children sitting around him, crying and screaming, with sacks and ashes on them, learning Torah. Wicked Haman counted 22,000 children.

He ordered them to be shackled in heavy chains and placed guards to watch them. Then he said, "Tomorrow I'll first kill the children and then hang Mordechai HaYehudi."

All began to cry and bellow and their cries went up to Heaven. HKB'H heard the cries and asked, "What is this voice I hear like young goats and lambs?" Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, said to HKB'H, "These are not voices of young goats and lambs, it is voices of the youngsters of Your nation, whom are fasting for 3 days, because the enemy wants to butcher them like young goats and lambs."

At that hour, HKB'H grasped the letters of decree and tore them up. HaShem sent angel Micha'el to caused Achashverosh to wake up in panic, "בלילה ההוא נדדה שנת המלך". Angel Micha'el entered Achashverosh's room, threw him off the bed and hit him 365 times while other angels were yelling at king Achashverosh, "You are ungrateful. Pay back the goodness to the person that did good for you."

HaShem made a miracle and when the Memory Book was brought to the king, the page opened up to the page containing the information that Mordechai HaYehudi saved the king's life.

That same minute, Haman was in the gardens of the palace. When the guards saw him, they said to the king that Haman wants to see him right away. When Achashverosh heard this, he immediately remembered what angel Micha'el told him in the dream and was convinced that Haman has come to kill him and take over his kingdom. He instructed that they allow Haman to enter. Of course Haman had no clue about the king's dream and did not suspect anything. "You are my head advisor and I wanted your advise regarding how to honor a person." Haman was surprised by this question and had no doubt in his mind that the king is referring to him. Haman advised that this person should dress in royal clothing with the royal crown and taken around the city on the royal horses.

Achashverosh told Haman, "Go immediately to my treasures and choose the most elegant royal clothing together with my crown and scepter. Then go to my royal stable and take my Arabian horse. Take all this and bring it to Mordechai HaYehudi."

Even in his worst dream, Haman could not imagine what he heard was true. He felt so humiliated and angry but from the shock, was unable to answer. After regaining his composure, he said to the king, "There are many Mordechai's in your countries. Which Mordechai are you referring to?" The king got angry, "Don't play games with me, go to Mordechai HaYehudi and do everything I commanded you."

Haman fell to the floor and begged Achashverosh not to embarasse him publicly, "Why do you command me to give honor to my arch enemy? I'd rather give you 10,000 silver money. Instead of honoring Mordechai HaYehudi thru embarrasing me, give Mordechai HaYehudi to be the governor." The king replied, "Give your 10,000 silver to Mordechai HaYehudi and I'll promote him to be a governor and now, do as I commanded immediately."

Haman was devastated, "I'll cancel the decree to kill the Jews. Right now I'll send messengers to cancel the decrees to all 127 countries. But please don't honor Mordechai HaYehudi."

The king did not want to hear anymore and angrily said, "Of course I will cancel the decree in honor of Mordechai HaYehudi. And you, go immediately and do all that you advised for Mordechai HaYehudi."

When Haman left the palace, Achashverosh sent 2 guards to follow Haman to see that he fulfills the king's commands.

At that hour, Mordechai HaYehudi was sitting in Bet HaMidrash teaching Torah to the children. When he saw Haman approaching him, he thought that Haman has come to kill him and urged the children to run for their lives. But none of the children were afraid and said as one, "Our teacher, our Rebbe, we will never leave you." Mordechai HaYehudi hugged the children as Haman was coming closer towards him. Haman said to Mordechai HaYehudi, "Rise from your mourning and remove the sack off of you because I was sent under the king's commandment to dress you in royal clothing." Mordechai HaYehudi did not believe Haman and said, "Leave me alone, why do you want to make fun of me infront of my students? Why do you insist to make the last minutes of my life miserable? Allow me to go home and then you can hang me as you desire."

Haman replied, "Does it look like I'm joking? Know this, your sack and ashes are much more important that my 10,000 silver. Your G.od has heard your prayers and has performed miracles for you, as He did for your forefathers. Now get up because I need to dress you in royal clothing. This is the order of the king."

Mordechai HaYehudi asked Haman, "How can I wear this royal clothing when my body is full of ashes?" Haman replied, "Wait here and I'll bring someone to wash and perfume you so you can be clean to be dressed in royal clothing."

Haman searched in the whole city for a washer but could not find because on that day, Queen Esther decreed that all the people of the city are forbidden to go to work. Haman was forced to take Mordechai HaYehudi to the bathhouse and bathe and clean him. Afterwards, he dressed him in royal clothing.

When Haman wanted to place the crown on Mordechai HaYehudi's head, he said, "I cannot allow you to place the crown on my head because I have not had a hair cut in a long time since I was in mourning." Haman replied, "I will find a barber for you." He ran looking for a barber but could not find because of Queen Esther's decree. With no other alternative, Haman ran home and brought his scizzors and while cutting Mordechai HaYehudi's hair, he was sighing. Mordechai HaYehudi asked him why he is sighing and Haman answered, "Why should I not sigh and cry? I am the most important minister of the kingdom and here I am, washing, dressing, and grooming my arch enemy?"

Mordechai HaYehudi knew Haman since he was a poor man and answered him, "You think I don't know who you are and who your father was? Your father used to be a barber and wash people in the bathhouse for 22 years. You ran to your house to bring your father's washing and barber tools."

Mordechai HaYehudi was very weak from fasting and was unable to raise his leg to get on the horse. Haman was forced to kneel on four so Mordechai HaYehudi can use him as his ladder. When Mordechai HaYehudi sat on the horse, he gave Haman a hard kick. Haman was very hurt and said, "It says in your holy Torah 'do not rejoice in your enemies downfall'. Why do you hurt me in my time of downfall?". Mordechai HaYehudi replied, "If you were only my enemy, I would not rejoice as our holy Torah instructs us. But because you are the bitter enemy of the Jews, it is my duty to kick you as it says in our Holy Torah, "'ואתה על במותינו תדרוך And thine enemies shall dwindle away before thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places."

Haman took Mordechai HaYehudi around the city of Shushan and all men, women, and children saw this. 27,000 princes were placed infront of Mordechai HaYehudi and they all called out
"ככה יעשה לאיש אשר המלך חפץ ביקרו 'Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.'

When the Jews saw how their leader is being honored, they went out of their home with torches and called out happily, "'Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the King of the World, the Creator of the World is delighted to honor.'

When they reached Haman's house, his daughter looked out the window and was sure her father was riding on the horse and Mordechai HaYehudi was leading him so she took a pail full of dirty water and spilled it directly on her father, the one leading the horse. Wet and dirty, Haman looked up to see who did this and saw his daughter. His daughter was so shocked to see her father leading the horse and felt so ashamed of her mistake, she committed suicide by jumping out of the window.

Dirty and wet, Haman returned home after this ordeal. He wife said, "Mordechai HaYehudi is from the Jewish nation and once you have began to fall, you will continue falling. The Jews will be saved and your end will be bitter."

Haman didn't get a chance to reply because loud knocking on the door was heard. He was due at the palace right away for Esther HaMalka's party. The guards would not allow Haman to wash up and they forced him to come immediately to the palace.

At the party, king Achashverosh asked Esther HaMalka what is her wish. Esther HaMalka answered, "If I found favor in the eyes of the king, please save my nation because we were sold to be executed."

Achashverosh was frightened and angrily asked, "Who is this person who dares to kill you?" Esther HaMalka got scared when she saw Achashverosh's angry face. She pointed her finger towards Haman and said, "This enemy is my nation's enemy."

Achashverosh nightmare came true. He suspected that Haman wanted to kill him and take over his kingdom. He went out to the garden to calm down.

At the same time, HaShem sent His angels to the garden in the image of the 10 sons of Haman and Achashverosh saw them cutting down his beautiful trees in the garden. He asked them, "Who gave you permission to destroy my garden?" the angels replied, "Our father Haman instructed us to come here and remove every tree and plant from your garden."

Achashverosh couldn't take it anymore and angrily burst back into Esther HaMalka's palace to pour out his fury on Haman. At that same second, Haman was crouching down by Esther HaMalka's legs begging her to have mercy on him. When the king entered, angel Micha'el pushed Haman onto Esther HaMalka's bed. When Achashverosh saw Haman on his wife's bed, he yelled, "Also my wife in my palace you want to capture?"

Charvona, zs'kl, hearing the king's furious yelling, walked inside the palace of the queen and said, "My honored king, not only does wicked Haman want this but he is responsible for putting the poison in your food and Mordechai HaYehudi is the one who saved you from this death trap. This is the reason Haman hates Mordechai HaYehudi so much and even built a 50 foot tree to hang him on. You can see the tree by his house ready to hang Mordechai HaYehudi."

Achashverosh sent servants to see if this was true and when they returned, they told the king what they saw, "A tree is ready in Haman's backyard to hang Mordechai HaYehudi."

When Achashverosh heard this, he commanded that Haman be hunged on the tree immediately.

Mordechai HaYehudi turned to Haman and said, "The king commanded that I hung you on the tree you prepared for me." When Haman heard the verdict, he cried and begged, "If it was decreed that I die, please kill me with a sword. Let me die with honor. Don't hang me on a tree the same way simple people and criminals are hung on a tree."

Mordechai HaYehudi didn't pay attention and hung Haman on the tree. After Haman was hunged, the king gave Mordechai HaYehudi the house that belonged to Haman with all its treasures. Mordechai HaYehudi split the money into 3 portions: one for the Yeshivot and shuls, second portion he guarded for the future building of the second Bet HaMikdash, and the third portion he took for him and Esther HaMalka.

Mordechai HaYehudi was appointed to be the ministers of all ministers and head of the kingdom's treasury. Mordechai HaYehudi served with loyalty. Everyone in the kingdom of Achashverosh loved Mordechai HaYehudi and Esther HaMalka and they knew no more sorrow.

In order for the great miracle never to be forgotten, Esther HaMalka sent letters to all the scholars of Am Israel and asked that they rule Purim a day of holiday for all generations, on its original name Pur, casting of the lots.

The scholars of Am Israel wrote everything in the scroll and called it Megillat Esther which is read every year in every shul, city, state, country all over the world in thanks to HKB'H for the great miracles He performed for Am Israel.

Baruch (blessed is) Mordechai HaYehudi
Berucha (blessed is) Esther HaMalka
Arur (cursed is) Haman Harasha
Arura (cursed is) Zeresh, wife of Haman

May the zechoyut of Mordechai HaYehudi and Esther HaMalka, a'h, protect us and may we be zoche to also see the Geula Shlema bekarov. Amen.

ישתבח שמו לעד לנצח נצחים בכל העולמות
Blessed is His name for eternity in all worlds

About 3 years ago, I wrote about a special guest we had for Rosh HaShana, his name was Rabbi Shalom Biton, zs'kl. We believe he was Moshiach ben David.

This Shabbat, Vav Adar 5770, Rav Biton passed away.

He was a true righteous Tzaddik and very humble. יהי זכרו ברוך

Today Was a Good Day

2010-02-18T11:24:00.011+02:00

Going to the museum of Yad Va'Shem was never on my itinerary because it effects me with intense emotional turmoil. But רבות מחשבות בלב איש, ועצת ה' היא תקום Many thoughts in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of HaShem shall stand.

During the two hours inside the Yad Va'Shem museum, there was ONE thing that caught my attention and moved me to emotional tears as well as thoughts of Teshuva.

I saw a diary of a Jew, HI'D, and was very surprised he wrote perfect English. Inside the diary it read, "Today was a good day in the Ghetto. I found cabbage."

Can you imagine that today is a good day because you found cabbage????? Food for thought.

Have a good and meaningful day!

Who Will Take Care of My Children?

2010-02-14T21:50:00.014+02:00

When she was 16 years old, Ravital Levi-Gilad had an outer body experience. She saw herself in Heaven but was told that her time has not come yet and must return to the lower world. This experience did not change Ravital's life, she continued her life as if nothing happened and after a while, she even forgot about it.

Ravital today is 41 years old, a mother of 3, married a second time to Yaniv Levi and resides in Hertzelia. She was brought up in a traditional home but at the age of 18, she joined the army and short time after married a secular man.

About 13 years ago at the age of 27 years old, married with children, Ravital had another clinical death experience while sleeping. But this time she was unable to shake off the experience and it completely changed her life.

"It happened while I was sleeping," Ravital says, "I felt myself going outside of my body. A person who never experienced this could not understand. I saw myself on top watching my husband and children sleeping. I entered a tunnel of light, a comforting and loving light. It's indescribable, it is a light of love and mercy. I didn't panic, I felt like a baby in his mother's womb. Suddenly the "Light" spoke to me and asked my name. I was panic-stricken when I heard the "Light" speak and could not answer. A few seconds passed and the "Light" asked me again for my name and I don't know where I got the strength but I was able to answer. As soon as I answered, I found myself in a large hall. At the other end of the hall, behind the wall, was a gentle yellow light and within this light my grandfather's parents suddenly appeared. They passed away a few years ago. I saw more family members but wasn't able to identify all of them. All of them came towards me with open arms and were happy to see me. They seemed to be singing".

When did you understand that you are in the world of truth?
When I was in the tunnel of light I did not yet understand I was dead. Only after seeing dead family members, I started panicking and began understanding that I am no longer amongst the living. I realized I entered the world of truth. It kind of hits you. I was unable to approach my grandfather's parents. I was unable to move -- it's difficult to explain it. It was as if my family members didn't have permission to come towards me".

At that moment, Ravital was called to the Heavenly Court. She says that it's impossible to understand the terrible emotions of shame and fear a soul feels during court. "Across from me, about 10 meters, 3 judges with long beards sat. You can tell right away they were holy men, Rabbanim from the lower world. Their faces had severe facial expression. Even before they began talking to me, I was crying. I knew I had nowhere to run and I was feeling so much regret and shame. The degree of regret and shame can never be felt in the lower world. They asked me why I didn't observe Shabbat. I was embarrassed to answer and knew that my judgment will not be good. My grandfather's parents disappeared. Before I was able to comprehend what was going on, I saw 2 'movies' across from me on gigantic screens. On the right screen I saw a 'movie' that was not good, and when it ended, the 'movie' on the left side began showing. The second 'movie' was neither good nor bad, it was about my life from the day I was born till present".

"When the 'movies' ended, I begged from the judges to return to life . They were quite and angry. I continued crying and begging to be able to return to the lower world. They asked me why I want to return. I told them thru the tears that I have a autistic son who needs me desperately. I begged the judges, 'who will take care of my husband and children if I die?'. The minute I said husband and children, I turned my face and was able to see them sleeping. The soul has no boundaries, it can see from one end of the world to the other end".

"After seeing them, the Rav sitting across from me on the left side spoke with the other judges quietly. Today I understand that he was advocating for me. I saw that he was able to convince them and he asked me if they return me to the lower world, will I promise that I'll repent. I yelled, "YES!". The question was asked three times if I'll repent, and I cried and yelled, "YES YES YES".

"I felt my soul vacuumed inside my body thru the nostril. Today I understand the meaning of the words, 'וייפח באפיו נשמת חיים and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

It was 3:10 am when Ravital woke up screaming and yelling and told her then-husband what occurred to her. "I was alive, breathing, and healthy," she says, "I told my husband that I just returned from the world of truth. It was then I decided that I will cover my hair properly and observe Shabbat.

Why do you think it happened to you, why are you different from thousands of non-observant Jews?
This is calculations of Heaven. I don't know. Maybe more is demanded of me because I have a son with limited capabilities. Maybe because I grew up traditionally and left it. I really don't know. When I was 16 years old, I had my first out of body experience. Someone took my hand and took me to heaven. I remember when I looked down I saw a red river, it was fire. I was told that my time has not yet arrived. I did not connect it to returning to Judaism. When it happened again at the age of 27, I clearly understood that I must repair my ways.

What is the difference between our world and the upper world?
In this world a person can merit credit every second, even only with a good thought. Death in this world is a passage into another world where one cannot merit any credit and cannot correct the past. The shame and regret is only felt in the upper world. There is no longer a body to perform a good deed and there are no opportunities to correct. There is nowhere to run to. I had the merit to return to this world and remember details to correct myself.

Returning to Judaism was not an easy journey for Ravital. "At the time I was married to a secular man and as I was learning about Judaism and trying to observe it, I saw that it was impossible to do so with my partner. He tried to accommodate me but it did not come from inside of him. I tried to make our home observe Shabbat but realized that I could not do it with my partner. Eventually we got divorced, but it wasn't only because of religious reasons.

"I bought a house and lived with my three children. One day a Yeshiva student knocked on my door asking for a donation. I asked him who sent him to me and he told me that his Rav did. I asked him who is Rav is and he showed me a picture.

When Ravital saw the picture of the Rav, she became pale. She remembered the face of the Rav very very clearly. "The picture of the Rav brought me back into the Heavenly Court. It was the advocating Rav whom I promised I'll repent. I was shaking like a leaf. I gave the Yeshiva student a description of how the Rav speaks and described his body movement".

"At that moment I took upon myself a final decision to do Teshuva - this time for real."

"My connection to HKB'H is so strong, I feel when I talk to Him, it's as if I'm talking to my father. Nothing can compare the feeling of speaking to Aba. I asked Aba to merit me to marry a religious man. Within a few short months, my Aba sent me the love of my life - a Gd-fearing man, and we got married within a short time.

Another thing that happened to Ravital was she was able to foresee the future. She was shown how her grandfather will have a car accident. A few weeks later, her grandfather had a terrible accident and the car was total loss. She arrived at the hospital even before her father because she knew when it'll happen. She foresaw other things but it became very difficult for her and she prayed that seeing the future will be removed from her. A short while later, all the visions stopped.

"I know and believe in the Creator. HaShem shows His love. I understand that as long as I'm breathing, I can correct. Unfortunately, I see too many Jews "sleeping awake". They don't understand the meaning of life, the gift of life".

"Don't wait for the last day. Correct yourself now, as soon as possible. Everyone understands that each person has the last day. You need to be aware that you are always seen from above and constantly being filmed. At the end, you will see your life on a 'screen' but you cannot return to correct."

Anytime, Anywhere

It has been brought to my attention that there are unfortunately uneducated Jews who think that lighting a candle for Tzaddikim other than on their Yartzeit day is chas vechalila idolatrous practice.

The following is proof that it has always been the Jewish tradition to light candles for loved ones and Tzaddikim anywhere and anytime:

מנהג ותיק ועתיק בישראל להדליק נר לזכר נשמת קרובים וצדיקים בבחינת 'נר ה' נשמת אדם'
It is an old tradition among Jews to light a candle in memory of loved ones and Tzaddikim, in the aspect of "'נר ה' נשמת אדם' The soul of a person is the candle of HaShem.

כתב רבינו בחיי ז``ל בפרשת תרומה, וז``ל: וידוע כי הנשמה נהנית בהדלקת הנרות והיא מתהלכת בעדוני ההוד והשמחה ומתפשטת ומתרחבת מתוך הנאת האורה מפני שהיא חתיכת אור חצובה מאור השכל ומן הטעם הזה נמשכת אחר האור שהוא מינה אעפ``י שהוא אור גופני והנשמה אור רוחני זך ופשוט.
Rabbeinu Bechaye, zs'kl, writes in Parshat Teruma: And it is known that the soul enjoys when a candle is lit and is attracted to the light.

רבי נחום מצרנוביל אומר: "שמדליקים נר לנשמת הצדיק אורו מגיע למקום
Rabbi Nachum of Charnevil, zs'kl, says: "When lighting a candle for the soul of the Tzaddik, his light reaches the place where the candle is being lit".

הבן איש חי (תורה לשמה סימן תקכ): ``הרי לך שהנשמה יש לה הנאה מן האור. וצריך שיאמר בפיו בשעת הדלקת הנר שהוא מדליק הנר הזה למנוחת נפש פלוני בן פלוני, ואז בקריאה זו שהוא מוציאה בפה יגיע הנאה לנפש האדם ההוא אפילו מרחוק
גם דע כי באור הנר יש חמשה גוונים הידועים למשכילים וכנזכר בראשית חכמה, והם כנגד חמשה חלקי הנפש שהם נפש רוח נשמה חיה יחידה, ודבר זה גם בדברי רז``ל בתלמוד הוא מפורש במה שאמרו חמשה שמות יש לנשמה, ועל כן אור הנר הוא דוגמא לנשמה ולזה יהיה לה הנאה מן האור הנדלק על שמה, עכ``ל רבינו הבן איש חי.
The Ben Ish Chai, zs'kl, writes: "The neshama has pleasure from the light. When a person is lighting a candle, he should say 'I'm lighting this candle for Ploni ben Ploni. Thru this verbalization, the pleasure will reach this person no matter the distance".

Ben Ish Chai continues: Know also that in the light of the candle there are five variations which are in exchange for the 5 parts of the Nefesh: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya, and Yechida. Therefore, the light of the candle is compared to the neshama and the neshama gains much pleasures from the candle being lit for him."

נוהגים להדליק נר לעילוי נשמת נפטרים ויש בזה משום כבודם, שמדליקים ללכבודם אור נר
(משנה ברורה סימן תרי סעיף קטן יב).
It is customary to light candles for the deceased le iluy their souls, to light in their honor. (Mishne Brura)

אפשר להדליק נרות לעילוי נשמות הצדיקים בכל עת ובכל זמן, ולבקש מהקב`ה שבזכות הצדיק יקבל הקב`ה את התפילה.
You can light candles le iluy nishmot of the Tzadikim anytime and anywhere and ask HKB'H in the zchut of the Tzaddik, HKB'H will accept your prayers.

Seudat Shira In Honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h

2010-01-31T15:51:00.009+02:00

A BIG thank you and yasher koach to all the wonderful people who donated for the Seduat Mitzvah le iluy nishmat and in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h.

One cannot comprehend the nachat Tzadaka gives HKB'H. Our chachamim teach us that Tzedakah is “equal to all the mitzvos” and “brings closer the redemption.”

The Seudat Mitzvah was, b'h, a tremendeous success. The Chabad Shul has a congregation of about 25 people and we prepared for about 40 people, but chasdei Shamyim, over 60 people showed up and stayed for the Seudat Mitzvah, and there was plenty of food for everybody. Even the Rav of the shul was very surprised that so many showed up, people he never met or saw before.

The atmosphere in the shul was very spiritual and my husband merited to say the Haftara, Shirat Devorah HaNevia, a'h. The atmosphere during the Seuda was amazing with thick air of achdut (unity), despite the fact that it was a mixture of people of different backgrounds. The men sang songs in unison and a few also said Divrei Torah. My husband also spoke about the greatness of Devorah HaNevia. After my husband's speech, many of the guests came over to my husband and said that they were very moved by his speech and he has peaked their interest to learn more about Devorah HaNevia. Many guests told my husband that they were not aware how much she sacrificed for Am Israel and that her Heichal is extremely important to HKB'H. A few promised that they will too make seuda in their shul in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h.

Some of the donation money also went to the Tehillim program for the children in the shul. About 50 children came and all said Tehillim le iluy nishmat Devorah HaNevia, and the Rav commented to my husband that he never saw the children saying Tehillim with so much spiritual fire.

ישתבח שמו לעד לנצח נצחים בכל העולמות
Blessed is His name for eternity in all worlds
אין עוד מלבדו

Importance of Gratitude

2010-01-25T10:31:00.007+02:00

Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh, zs'kl, says in the name of the Chida HaKadosh, zs'kl, that when HaShem does a miracle for a person and this person shows HKB'H gratitude, HaShem promises that He'll bestow another miracle on this person.

Devorah HaNevia, a'h, sang to HKB'H in the song of gratitude and said URI (awaken) 4 times;
עורי עורי דבורה, עורי עורי
The first two URI's were to thank HaShem for the great miracle of winning Sisra and the last two URI's were for the miracle that HaShem will bestow on her.

The Chida HaKadosh says that in the last two URI's (wake up), she asked HaShem not to bestow the promised miracle in her lifetime but to transfer it to the last generation at the End of Days. She asked HKB'H that the final redemption should come easily for the last generation, with many miracles, just as HaShem did for her generation and they easily won Sisra and the land was quite for 40 years.

Devorah HaNevia is so humble and cares so much about Am Israel - she humbly transferred her promised miracles, 3,000 years later, to us, TO US!!!!!!

In gratitute to Devorah HaNevia's song of praise to HaShem, we also need to show Hakarat Hatov (gratitude) to Devorah HaNevia for transferring her promised miracles to us for the redemption to come without pain....

If you would like to show your gratitude to Devorah HaNevia, join us for Seudat Shabbat Shira in honor of Devorah HaNevia at the Chabad Shul in Ramot Aleph, Jerusalem, or you can participate by sending a donation in this tremendous Mitzvah.

In honor of Devorah HaNevia, b'h, we'll also be going to Tel Kadesh to the Tzion of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, Tuesday evening.

If you want a prayer for you at the Tzaddeket's kever, you can mail me at nava998@yahoo.com. All prayers requested will remain in the Tzion as a kvittel.

If you cannot attend the scheduled upcoming Shabbat meal or contribute, I'd like to propose to light a candle in memory of Devorah HaNevia and remit a donation to another organization this week to help the Jewish needy in Israel in her memory and honor.

Shabbat Shira Shalom

2010-01-23T19:04:00.006+02:00

This Shabbat, Parshat Beshalach, is notable for many things. It is one of the few throughout the year that is given a special name. Parshat Beshalach is called Shabbat Shira (the Shabbat of Song), commemorating the glorious and awe-inspiring event when, after the miraculous deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea, the children of Israel simultaneously burst forth into a song of praise to Hashem.

In the Haftara, we read Shirat Devorah. In both the Parasha and the Haftarah, women play a prominent role. “Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took her drum in her hand and all the women went forth after her with drums and with dances.” (Shemot 15:20). The victory related in the Haftarah takes place under the leadership of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, and it is into “the hands of a woman” (Shoftim 4:9), Yael, a'h, that Hashem delivers the General Sisra. After the victory against Sisra, Prophet Devorah leads the nation in a song of praise to HKB'H. This song outlines the recurring theme in the history of Israel: Oppression -- Repentance -- Victory.

Chasdei HaShem, with much gratitute to HKB'H, we will be making a Seduat Kiddush in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, on Shabbat Parshat Beshalach, when Shirat Devorah is said in every shul, every city, every state, and every country, world-wide.

We are calling upon you to make an effort to make a kiddush in your shul in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a’h.

If it is not possible for you to do so but would like to participate, you can join our Seuda in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a’h, in Ramot Aleph, Yerushalayim. Or you can participate by sending a donation in this tremendous Mitzvah that comes only once a year (The Yartzeit of Devorah HaNevia, a’h, is unknown. Therefore, it is most appropriate time to make a kiddush/Seudah for Devorah HaNevia on Shabbat Parshat Beshalach).

"Zrizim Makdimim Limitzvot"
"One should perform a Mitzvah at the earliest possible time"

The same way that HKB’H redeemed Am Israel from Egypt in Parshat Beshalach and in the Haftara saved them from wicked Sisera, we pray to the Creator of the World that we should be redeemed immediately and be zoche for the coming of Moshiach now, Amen.

Our scholars teach us that saying Parshat Man the 3rd day of the week of Parshat Beshalach, (January 26, 2010), is a very special Segula for livlihood.

שמות פרק טז פסוּק ד
וַיֹּאמֶר ה' אֶל מֹשֶׁה הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם
Exodus Chapter 16;4
Till the last passuk, וְהָעֹמֶר, עֲשִׂרִית הָאֵיפָה הוּא.

After saying Parshat HaMann, say the following prayer for livlihood:

Rachav HaTzaddika, a'h

2010-01-21T12:31:00.010+02:00

Last week I dreamed that there is a tikun to do for the Jews in France and therefore, I should send my husband to Paris. I was told that France צרפת in Gematria is 770 - the same as Bet Moshiach and the year we are in now, 5770.

The following morning of my husband's arrival in France, he went to shul Ohel Rut and saw a raven standing above him. What caught my husband's attention was that this raven wasn't black like all ravens but rather it was pure white and it was not crowing, it was chirping like a bird. Additionally, it was extemely cold and ravens dislike cold weather but regardless, the raven stood on the shul's roof for about 15 minutes in the cold and was chirping like a bird.

That night my husband had a dream and the white raven was speaking to him. It was a woman's voice, a beautiful voice. She asked my husband if he knew who she was and my husband tried to guess but could not. She told him she was Rachav, Yehoshua's bin Nun's wife, a'h.

Rachav was a non-Jew whom lived in Jericho. Prior to the Jews entering Israel, Yehoshua bin Nun sent two spies to seek out the land. They came to Rachav's house to seek shelter from the king of Jericho. Rachav risked her own life and hid the Jewish spies from the king's soldiers. The report given by Yehoshua bin Nun’s spies was optimistic because of Rachav's faith that HaShem will give the land of Canaan to the children of Israel.

My husband was very surprised in the dream that Rachav is in Paris and Rachav HaTzaddika told my husband that in the zchut that she made it possible for Am Israel to capture Eretz Israel, she was given the important task of gathering Am Israel from all over the world to Eretz Israel.

Rachav HaTzaddika, a'h, asked my husband that we light candles for her neshama because it helps her and gives HKB'H much nachat. Please light a candle in honor of Rachav HaTzaddika and b'h, ask that in her zchut you will b'h be zoche to make Aliya, amen.

Dreams Do Come True!

2010-01-13T13:25:00.007+02:00

Last night, exactly a week since being at the Tzion of the Abir Yaakov, zs'kl, my husband dreamed that the Abir Yaakov appeared to him. The Tzaddik Kadosh Elyon told my husband that all the prayers I prayed at his Tzion for all the people around the world, including my personal prayers, reached him.

The Abir Yaakov also told my husband that Miriam HaNevia was at his Tzion in the image of a white dove and he also told my husband that together with Miriam HaNevia, a'h, are judging all the bakashot to b'h fullfill them.

If you would like your judgment to be sweetened, I humbly suggest you light 2 candles, one for Rabbi Yaakov Abuchazera and the other for Miriam HaNevia, a'h, and ask that your bakashot be fullfilled for the good, amen.

In Honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h

2010-01-10T21:58:00.009+02:00

"Zeh hayom asa Hashem nagila venismecha bo"
"This is the day Hashem has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Tehillim 118:24).

A tremendousZchut (merit) has come to us with much Chasdei HaShem to b'h make a beautiful Shabbat kiddush in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a’h, in our synagogue. May her merits protect us, amen.

There is no need to add on after all that was written about Devorah HaNevia, a'h, and how close she is to our hearts. Chasdei HaShem, with much gratitute to HKB'H, we will be making a Seduat Kiddush in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, on Shabbat Parshat Beshalach, when Shirat Devorah is said in every shul, every city, every state, and every country, world-wide.

We are calling upon you to make an effort to make a kiddush in your shul in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a’h.

If it is not possible for you to do so but would like to participate, you can join our Seuda in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a’h, in Ramot Aleph, Yerushalayim.

Therefore, it is most appropriate time to make a kiddush/Seudah for Devorah HaNevia on Shabbat Parshat Beshalach).

May we be zoche to see unnatural miracles in our own eyes, as it says in Shirat Devorah:
URI URI DEVORAH, URI URI.

The same way that HKB’H redeemed Am Israel from Egypt in Parshat Beshalach and in the Haftara saved them from wicked Sisera, we pray to the Creator of the World that we should be redeemed immediately and be zoche for the coming of Moshiach now, Amen.

Pilgrimage to Abir Yaakov, zs'kl

2010-01-06T12:18:00.006+02:00

Israelis need a visa to enter Egypt and out of thousands requests, only 70-80 visas were granted. About 350 people in total were zoche this year to go the Tzion, mostly those with foreign passports (including myself).

The trip was b'h very successful and spiritual. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures to download because my camera was confiscated. Security for the 350 Jews pilgrimage was very tight and Egyptians till today hate and loath Jews. They made us sit on the bus and wait two and a half hours till they gave us permission to leave from Cairo to Dimanhur, about a 3-4 hour bus ride.

I must share with you at least one story lekadesh shem shamayim, to sanctify Hashem's name. A very sweet woman told me that 11 years ago she travelled to Abir Yaakov after undergoing 4 miscarriages. She prayed that in the zchut of the Abir Yaakov, HaShem will gift her with twins and triplets. Exactly 9 months later, she give birth to a healthy boy and named him Yaakov, in honor of the Tzaddik Kadosh Elyon Rabbi Yaakov. 2 years later she gave birth to twins and some time later, she gave birth to triplets. Chasdei Shamayim. The triplets are now 5 years old and she returned this year to the kever of the Abir Yaakov to share with him her thanks to HKB'H.

The Eyptians authority permitted us about 4 hours to pray at the Tzion and because the room of the kever was packed, I decided to pray outside. At one point, I attempted entering the Tzion and was successful. It was during this time it was announced that everyone must leave the Tzion to allow the grandson of the Baba Sali, zs'kl, yechidut (privacy) with his great grandfather. Slowly people started trickling outside and I said to myself that I too will go outside but someone decided to shut the doors of the Tzion and about 70 people remained inside, including myself. I quickly took out all the requested prayers and started reading them out loud. About an hour later, just as I was finishing reading the last kvittel (request), the doors of the Tzion opened up and in seconds, there was no room to move. I couldn't even get to the kever and asked a lady infront of me to place all the kvittels underneath the parochet of the Tzion.

For all those who sent pidyon hanefesh, I personally hand-delivered your prayers and donations to the grandson of the Baba Sali, Rabbi Yechiel Abuchazera Shlita, inside the Tzion.

Thank you for allowing me to be your messenger.

B'h, in the zchut of the Tzaddik Rabbi Yaakov Abuchazera, may all your tefillot and requests be answered for the good and b'h, may it be HaShem's will that you see yeshuot immediately, amen.

Pictures of the pilgrimage to Abir Yaakov, zs'kl, are available here.

Abir Yaakov, zs'kl

2010-01-02T19:26:00.006+02:00

It's been a year since we were zoche to make Aliya. B'h, I can say that our Aliya was very successful, chasdei Shamayim. When I arrived in Israel, I promised myself that I'll never get on an airplane ever again. I want to live and die only in Eretz Israel but there is one place that I want to go and that is Dimanhur, Egypt.

About three years ago, Kadosh Elyohn Saraf Rabbi Yaakov Abuchatzeira, the Abir Yaakov, zs'kl, appeared to me in a dream and asked that I come to visit him. I can finally b'h and b'n fulfill the Abir Yaakov's request. B'h, I'll be leaving Monday night and returning Tuesday night. The yartzeit of the Tzaddik Abir Yaakov is 20 TEVET.

If you want a prayer for you at the Tzaddik's kever and/or if you want pidyon hanefesh*, you can mail me at nava998@yahoo.com. All prayers requested will remain in the Tzion as a kvittel.

*Pidyon Nefesh is a very special and powerful prayer and blessing that has the spiritual strength of a sacrifice in the Bet Hamikdash to atone for sin and to mitigate severe judgments. The bigger and more pious the tzaddik, the more effective the "pidyon", which literally means "redemption", where one's money is literally a sacrifice for one's body and soul. The pidyon money "redeems" the nefesh, or soul, in other words, "Pidyon Nefesh."

This is used when a major salvation is needed, such as in the case of a dangerous illness, a severe court case, or as a rescue from trouble or danger. Rebbe Nachman of Breslev, zs'kl, says that Pidyon Nefesh is the "sweetening", or mitigation of harsh decrees and serves as a salvation from any trouble, for the main cure and solution of sickness is the pidyon (see Likutei Moharan II:3).

Borrowed Time

2009-12-27T08:17:00.007+02:00

Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai, 40, zs'kl, of Shavei Shomron, was murdered Thursday afternoon when terrorists fired at the car he was traveling in, between the Jewish communities of Shavei Shomron and Einav in Samaria, west of Shechem.

12 years earlier:

Rav Meir Chai was involved in a deadly car accident and after many hours of effort, the doctors were able to resuscitate him twice but he remained in critical condition for many weeks, unable to breathe on his own.

After long weeks of recuperation, he was finally able to breath on his own. When he 'woke up', he told his family and the doctors that he was in the world of truth and begged the heavenly court to allow him to return to his body. He told the heavenly court that he wants to be around his newborn son and didn't want to leave his wife a widow and his newborn son an orphan. The court decided that he'll be given exactly 12 years to raise his newborn son.

Since then, Rav Meir Chai used the borrowed time to strengthen his faith in HaShem. His family said that as the end of the 12 years was approaching, he was very apprehensive. On that fatal Thursday, the son that was born 12 years earlier celebrated his 12th birthday.

In the afternoon hours, Harav Meir Avshalaom Chai, HI"D, was murdered.

He returned his soul to His Maker.

יהי זכרו ברוך!

YOU Can Help Moshiach Ben Yosef!

2009-12-15T11:47:00.004+02:00

Vilna HaGaon, zs'l, Kol Ha Tor. " 'Yosef recognized his brothers but they did not recognize him'. This is one of Yosef HaTzaddik's, zs'l, attributes. Not just in his generation, but in every generation, Mashiach ben Yosef recognizes his brothers and they do not recognize him. It is an act of Satan which conceals Mashiach ben Yosef's attributes, such that the Jews unfortunately do not recognize his footsteps, and in fact scoff at them...

Moshiach Ben David cannot arrive till Moshiach Ben Yosef is revealed, just as it was in Mitzrayim when Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, was unable to take Bnei Israel out of Egypt till aron Yosef HaTzadik, zs'l, was safely out of the nile river and accompanied Am Israel to the Geula.....

This is a very critical time for Am Israel and Moshiach ben Yosef needs our prayers to help him reach his full potential to correct Am Israel and take all the corrections inside Kan Tzippor. We must help Moshiach Ben Yosef through our actions and prayers.

Please include this special prayer written by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, the RaMCHaL, zs'kl, for Moshiach Ben Yosef to succeed in Am Israel's tikunim and enter the Kan Tzippor.

Please please please pray NOW that Moshiach ben Yosef succeeds, AMEN!

In 1981, the Tzaddik Rabbi Israel Abuchazera, zs'kl, called his daughter Rabbanit Avigail Tichye and son-in-law, HaGaon Rabbi David Busso Shlita and advised them to open a Yeshiva (Talmud Torah) to help children from troubled homes and to strengthen them in Yiddishkeit. A year later, Rabbanit Avigail and her husband opened Maor Yisrael in Ramot Aleph in Jerusalem, naming the Yeshiva after the Tzaddik Rabbi Israel Abuchazera; in his zchut (merit), HaShem will light up the eyes of the children of Israel.

Since then, the family of the Baba Sali continue to upkeep the Yeshiva physically, financially, and spiritually. The Yeshiva has about 20 teachers which includes: Teachers, counsellors, psychologists, and guidance counsellors. The Yeshiva also has additional afternoon learning hours so the children will not walk the streets and get into trouble.

Maor Israel is a non-profit and non-government school that receive no financial support from the government. The school's facilities are very lacking and runs on very limited resources and receives support only through donations. The Yeshiva is struggling to provide all students with equal access to a good education. The school is plagued with missing or outdated textbooks, underpaid teachers and dilapidated facilities.

Education is the seed of opportunity, particularly for desperately poor children living in Eretz Israel.

Here's is your chance to indulge in the satisfaction of giving. Donate now to support Maor Israel's response to children in need... We welcome all levels of donation, whether it's a one-time gift or a monthly donation.

Whomever donates to this worthy cause can send their name for blessings and prayers and HaRabbanit Avigail Busso tichye, the daughter of the Baba Sali, will personally pray for you. The Rabbanit's blessings are known to bring miraculous results. I personally met a woman who told me that after 4 years of not having children, Rabbanit Busso blessed her to have a child, and within a year she gave birth.

From Mexican Priest to Rabbi...

2009-12-06T10:21:00.015+02:00

The following is the captivating story of Rabbi Yehudah Peretz Shlita, a former priest from Mexico...

It's not that I'm a Tzaddik (righteous person) that I merited to convert to Judaism; it's more that in my previous life I ruined so much. After my conversion to Judaism, it led me to the autistic Ben Golding. After meeting with Ben, I asked Rav Kanievsky Shlita if he approves of the facilitated communication with the autistic and if I'm permitted to distribute my story and the Rav answered, "Yes, distribute it and know that it's a Mitzvah".

When my wife, Roni (an Israel-born Jew), and I went to Ben for the first time, he told us extraordinary things. Roni asked Ben why she needed to marry a convert and not a regular Jew and Ben answered her that it was her that requested and pleaded for it. Not understanding Ben's answer, Roni asked Ben to explain. Ben told us that we were a married couple in our previous lives, right before the Holocaust.

When Roni met her future husband, Rav Yehudah, for the first time, she was not religious and was not looking to marry a convert. On their first date, she felt she knew this person from someplace but she did not know from where. She was certain that she never met him before since he grew up in Mexico and their worlds were as different as day and night. She was an Israeli born Jewess and he was a Mexican priest. As time when by and Roni got to know me better, we both felt very emotionally involved deep in our souls.

Ben revealed to the couple they were a married couple in their previous lives and lived in Europe. They both came from Orthodox families and when they married, they completely abandoned Judaism. Together they joined the university and with their many friends, went to the opera and continuously searching materialistic contentment. Both caused much pain to their parents to a point where both of the parents sat Shiva (mourning) for them. Ben said that it was Roni whom influenced her husband and others to seek worldly pleasures.

When World War II began, both were murdered in the holocaust. Before dying, Roni had many misgivings for all the sins she committed and at the last minute before her death she did Teshuva. But Rav Yehudah did not have the time to do Teshuva before dying.

Ben also told them what happened in the Heavenly court...

Because of their sins, the Heavenly court decided that Rav Yehudah's punishment was to reincarnate as a non-Jew and will need to make efforts to return to Judaism. For Roni it was ruled that she will return to earth to correct her past sins but because she did Teshuva at the last second, Roni was permitted to return as a Jewess. When Roni heard her husband's strict punishment, she begged and cried to the Heavenly court that they grant her permission to meet with her reincarnated husband in order to help him convert into a Jew.

When Ben revealed all this, Roni began crying excitedly because she felt he was saying the truth.

Both my wife and I feel very connected to what Ben revealed to us. I never had inner peace as a non-Jew and my wife Roni, never felt connected to her family. She has more of Ashkenazi mentality though she was born into a Moroccan family. When I met her, she was a student in Bar Ilan University and not religious. Today we b'h both did Teshuva and we have 6 children and live in Kiryat Sefer.

Time of Will עת רצון

2009-11-25T19:47:00.009+02:00

"The ninth hour is the time of celebration and rejoicing, it is the hour of Mincha. Know that the ninth year of the Jubilee is the chosen, and the ninth month (Kislev) is the month of goodness and desire, and the ninth day of the ninth month is the most selected day from all the rest of the days of the month, and the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month is the most chosen".

The above was written by Rabbi Avraham Marimon HaSfaradi, zs'kl, in the Sefer Brit Menucha ברית מנוחה.

Also Rabbi Avraham Azulai, zs'kl, wrote in his sefer Chesed Le'Avraham, "I saw in the Sefer ברית מנוחה that the ninth month in the ninth day on the ninth hour is a time of great success and the reason for this is because it is the ninth wheel of the Yesod and is a pipe of abundance".

Also the Ramban, zs'kl, writes that the ninth year of the Jubilee, on the ninth month, on the ninth day, in the ninth hour is time of special will.

Many great Rabbanim calculated the exact time of will and according to all it is tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, 9th of Kislev between the hour of 1:43 pm and 1:56 pm. It is a time of will when all the gates of Shamayim are open.

This window of opportunity is very rare when all the gates of Shamayim are open to our prayers and needs; utilize these rare 13 minutes of will to pray for all your desires and especially for Am Israel to be zoche to see the redemption, AMEN!

THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1968 41 years ago - Astonishing!

You probably don't remember the name Eric Hoffer. He was a longshoreman who turned into a philosopher, wrote columns for newspapers and some books. He was a non-Jewish American social philosopher. He was born in 1902 and died in 1983, after writing nine books and winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Eric Hoffer was one of the most influential American philosophers and free thinkers of the 20th Century. His books are still widely read and quoted today.

Here is one of his columns from 1968 -- 41 years ago! Some things never change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ISRAEL'S PECULIAR POSITION...by Eric Hoffer - LA Times 5/26/68

The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.

Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel , the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees.

Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single one. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.

Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious, it must sue for peace.

Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world. Other nations, when they are defeated, survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed.

Had Nasser triumphed last June [1967], he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.

No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Blacks are executed in Rhodesia.

But, when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one demonstrated against him. The Swedes, who were ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we did in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troops in Norway.

The Jews are alone in the world.

If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts and Jewish resources. Yet at this moment, Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally.

We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us.

And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer [1967] had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war, to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.

I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us.

Should Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us all.

Devorah HaNevia: MBY

2009-10-01T18:49:00.006+02:00

Guest post by Daniel Krentzman via Reb Ari Goldwag

By Devorah HaNevia and Barak Ben Avinoam, a'h, we have a precedent for the kind of dynamic where the mission of Mashiach ben Yosef is shared, in partnership, by two people (male and female דוכרא ונוקבא)

In ‫ שופטים ד' ד-ה‬it says:
‫ודבורה אשה נביאה אשת לפידות היא שפטה את ישראל בעת ההיא והיא יושבת‬ ‫תחת תמר דבורה בין הרמה ובית אל בהר אפרים‬
“Devorah was a prophetess, the wife of Lappidos; she judged Yisrael at that time. She would sit
under the date palm of Devorah between Ramah and Bet El on Mount Efrayim”.

This verse contains hints to Devorah HaNevia and Barak’s possession of the spiritual qualities of Mashiach ben Yosef.

Firstly, ChaZaL taught that: “Lappidos”, used here, which literally means “torch” is
actually another name used to describe “Barak”; for “torch light” and “Barak”, which means “a
flash of light”, are similar in meaning (see Redak).

Different forms of fire and light, such as "‫“ ,"שחר‬morning light”, "‫“ ,"אש‬flame”, "‫“ ,"ברק‬flash
of light” and "‫“ ,"נר‬candle flame” are all references to the spiritual qualities of Mashiach ben
Yosef (see ‫ .(קול התור ב‬

Thus Devorah HaNevia being described as: "‫,"אשת לפידות‬ implies that she was connected to the spiritual quality of Mashiach ben Yosef in her generation. This is also true by Barak, whose name also denotes manifestation of Mashiach ben Yosef.

It is also not happenstance that Devorah HaNevia chose to locate her authority in the area of Mount Efrayim, for "‫ "הר אפרים‬is in the territory of the tribe of Yosef, and “Mount Efrayim” itself is also a term used to describe Mashiach ben Yosef (see קול התור ב' א‬).

It is also not without significance that, in their song (‫שופטים ה' יד‬) Devorah HaNevia and Barak Ben Avinoam mention fighting against Amalek, which is also included in the mission of Mashiach ben Yosef (see ‫קול התור ב' נה סב‬).

Woe to us on the Day of Judgment

2009-09-29T07:26:00.014+02:00

Asher (Maso'od) Biton is a popular resident of Kiryat Shmona. He made Aliya from Morocco at the age of 6 and at the age of 13 he began working in Chevre Kadisha. Asher loved his work so much, he continues till today. Many can testify that Asher works Leshem Shamayim with much love and happiness. It's strange to see a 13-year-old boy digging graves, "As a child, I was physically strong and anything that was needed, I was first to volunteer. I learned the entire system of Chevre Kadisha." People that know Asher describe him as a simple, modest, and humble person. Always smiling and very optimistic. What happened to him shocked the city and all prayed that his health return to him.

Clinical Dead
"A person cannot know what will happen tomorrow," quotes Asher when he begins describing what occurred to him. "It was a beautiful bright day but my body was feeling strange, I felt something unnatural happening to me." Asher drove to his parent's grave and asked them for forgiveness for hurting them. "I knew something is going to happen to me."

"At 10:30 am, I arrived at the cemetery and felt excruciating pain in the chest. I felt my left arm very heavy and was unable to lift it. I told Machluf (Ochana, his cousin: Chevre Kadisha manager) that I'm in pain and they took me to HMO (health center). When we entered the elevator, I suddenly was unable to see, I became blind. Everything was dark and my head was spinning and unable to breathe. The Doctor immediately did an EKG and discovered that I had an heart attack. During treatment, I cried and said to my cousin Machluf, "Please forgive me. I am dying today." That minute I had a heart attack and died.

"My soul exited my body and was floating 2 meters above my body. I saw and heard everything. Machluf hugged my body and said, "My brother, goodbye." Doctor Boris Sidlekovsky didn't give up. He gave my body electric shots and after 5 attempts, he ruled I was dead.

Did you feel the electric shots?
"I felt turbulence. It was difficult and was crying and praying they should have mercy on this body."

You say that you floated over your body. What did you see?
I was dead for 45 minutes and during this time, I entered different worlds.

Heavenly Court
"I left Kiryat Shmona, Israel, the world and entered the world of truth," continues Asher.

How did the soul arrive there?
I felt a very strong wind pulling me to a small river that expanded during my upward 'flight'. During this time I felt a very special air that is indescribable, it cannot be described in this world. From there I saw a light that slowly became stronger - an infinite light with many colors. Suddenly I saw 4 images, 2 from each side and they were grabbing my arms.

What did they look like?
Their eyes were glazing fire. Suddenly they called, "Maso'od Biton!" 3 time and said, 'go to Heavenly court.' On the way there I saw many images in black with red eyes. In the background I hear, "Come to heavenly court."

In this place, did you have a body or a face?
Nothing. I felt I was in space. Like a small sheep against 70 wolves. When I arrived at the heavenly court, the black images were staring at me in a cruel way and were screaming and yelling, "Wicked, wicked, wicked."

What did you do? Are you wicked?
(Asher began crying and his breathing became difficult. I waited...) I was unable to answer them. It was prohibited for me to speak.

Why?
Because one is prohibited to speak in the heavenly court. They began bringing all my files. I see the black images running back and forth, they wanted me and I felt so ashamed.

Who are these black images?
They are angels of destruction. Their gaze is very cruel and eyes blazing fire. They showed me my signatures. Meaning, they were showing me all the transgressions I committed. They whispered between themselves and decided that my judgment is Gehenom. They continued screaming, "Wicked, wicked, wicked." I felt so disgraced and shamed. I now understood the meaning of "Woe to us on the Day of Judgment".

Asher continues to describe the heavenly court. Four images of young children in white surrounded him. "They defended me. They demanded we approach the Rabbinic Heavenly Court and claimed that it's not fair that that I was judged so quickly to Gehenom without anyone hearing the good deeds I did."

From there we went to a different world. A world that is a copy of this world. We arrived at the IDF cemetery of Kiryat Shmona. We saw five rows of soldiers of IDF, all were wearing white.

Do you remember the soldiers you saw?
Of course. I know all of them. Eli Ochana ben Rachel, Mordechai Pinchas, Uri Azulai - he died sanctifying HaShem's great name. I saw him with the same smile he used to smile. I saw Eyal ben Margi and many other soldiers. They are saints. They were all dressed in white. When they saw me, I heard them happily chanting, "Masu'ud arrived". They were very excited.

I don't understand - when you saw them, were you in this world, our world?
I saw my body in this world but my soul was in the upper worlds. We all went to the Rabbinical Heavenly Court. The soldiers defended me against the black images (the angels of destruction) and said to them, "Leave him alone, he is with us."

What does the Rabbinical Heavenly Court look like?
There are 71 judges. Their faces has an infinite light. Their beauty is indescribable.

Do you whom they are?
Yes but am not allowed to reveal. The first four Tzaddikim I recognized - two of them are alive and breathing and the other two passed away in our generation.

Asher describes important details of his judgment, tens of young children, angels, and many more details but to describe all this a book is needed to be written, not an article. In the Rabbinical Heavenly Court there are scales and on one side is weighed the person's good deeds and on the other side are weighed the transgressions. After placing all the good deeds vs. the transgressions, it is judged which side is heavier. This procedure is done only after a soul entered the pure Mikveh in the upper world. This Mikveh is the place where all transgressions are cleansed. The details are without a doubt very scary but in a place of reward and punishment, one pays for his transgressions and this place is very just, to put it mildly.

During his suffering in this place, he heard loud screaming at him, "Wicked, this is what happens to a person that speaks in shul!" After all the suffering for his transgressions, they continued to hurt him, "Wicked, why did you speak in shul?" (As Asher was describing the pain and shame, he almost choked while crying).

Where you not able to defend yourself?
No and even worse, they showed a 'movie' of my life from the minute I was born till I died.

How did you see the 'movie'; on a TV screen?
I don't know how to describe it but to differentiate between holiness and secular, it's like a screen. You see everything including my Bar Mitzvah, what I did in total privacy, in public, everything! And like I said, I was punished severely for speaking in shul. I was shown how many time I spoke, with whom I spoke, who spoke to me and how I replied...

What other punishments did you receive?
Many. Including desecration of the holy Shabbat. Such as crying, getting angry, and being sad on Shabbat. One of the most severe punishments is for desecrating the holy Shabbat.

What about the little details of desecrating the holy Shabbat, such as sorting, carrying, etc.?
Of course. Even though I was very careful not to carry anything, I was accused of these transgressions because I was told that I did not properly learn these Mitzvot.

After viewing the 'movie' of his life, Asher was returned to the Rabbinic Heavenly Court. The court is conducted in a method of judging good deeds (credit) vs. obligations (debit). "When I arrived, they brought a jar full of water and said to me, "This is all your tears collected from the pain you endured.' Everything is counted for in the upper world. They took the suffering I endured vs. the tears and placed it on the scales. You must understand that I was petrified. I didn't understand what is happening to me, what they are going to do with me. After weighing the good deeds and obligations, I was judged that I have more good deeds.

Two persons wearing white took me to the purifying Mikveh. They 'showered' me and took me to a large Mikveh and dunked me and it was then that I was permitted to enter the lower Gan Eden. It's a place you can enjoy eternally and every minute and second is pleasurable.

Who was there?
I saw my parents, including David Marco and my brother Eli. They were all so happy and asked me, "Why did you come here?" I saw most of my family members, may they rest in peace. I saw everyone. I also saw a row of Tzaddikim and Rabbanim with crown on their heads and learning Torah and Gemara.

What were you thinking and feeling?
It was an indescribable pleasure. I did not want to return to this world. I wanted to remain there. You must understand that I was allowed entrance to Gan Eden only after long stormy arguments between the images in white and images in black and the images in black were 100 times more than the images in white. But after I was judged entrance to Gan Eden, the images in black disappeared like they were never there. They showed me a table of gold and said to me, "these are your sins." They showed me a large green garden with all sorts of plants and fruits, all in green, and told me "this is your portion."

How did you return to this world?
I was shown a very holy man and light come forth from his face. I was staring at him for a long time. He told me in an angry tone, "I don't want to see you here. I want to see you in Miron." He repeated this 3 times. He hit me on my forehead where we place the Tefillin of the head with his right hand. From there, I was taken while accompanied by persons wearing white to an enormously large room. Suddenly I felt someone pushing me and immediately I was returned to my body in the operating room. I felt I was floating on top of my body and crying, "Help me, help me" and entered my body.

Since returning to his body, Asher Biton's health is slowly returning. Chasdei Shamayim, he is now able to do things independently. He began writing a book on his heavenly court experience and publicly speaks about it.

Doctor Boris Sidlekovsky, the doctor that treated Asher says, "After the 5 electric shots I gave Asher, I gave up but something in me could not give up. I called Rav Amram Afergan Shlita from Kiryat Ata and told him the situation. He asked that I give Asher one more electric shot and said we will see a miracle. As a believing person, I believe in miracles but to actually see Asher Biton return to life after 45 minutes, is something totally different.

Did you believe he can return to the living?
If I did not believe, I would have not called the Rav. But when it actually happened, I pinched myself and asked if this is real. It was a very difficult situation because Asher had a heart attack and he was clinically dead. The person did not breathe. All the doctors gave up and when he began breathing again, we were all shocked! There is no other word to describe except a miracle. A true miracle.

Comment: Asher continues to go to shul and can be found in Vradim shul in Kiryat Shmona. Anyone can ask him questions and more details.

Additional comments:
The Kaf HaChaim (ibid. Siman 151:8) describes the severity of the sin of talking in Shul and says that one who talks in Shul would be better off not coming at all. He also criticizes even people who learn Torah and discuss it publicly during davening; he concludes that one must be even more diligent about all of this on Shabbos.
The Chayei Adam (Klal 17 Sif 6) writes that the Mitzvah to revere a Shul is MideOraisa and quotes that one who talks in Shul is as though he denies Hashem.
The Magen Avraham (ibid. Sif Katan 3) notes that the AriZal was very careful to say only words of Tefillah in Shul, avoiding even discussions of Mussar and Teshuvah, lest he be led by them to improper topics.
The Mishnah Berurah ( ibid. Siman 124 Sif Katan 28) indicates that one should educate and train one's children by encouraging them to display the proper feelings in awe in Shul, and adds that it would be better if children who run back and forth and play in Shul would not be brought there at all because they will grow up having bad habits in Shul and because they disturb other people.

Moshiach is Coming!

2009-08-10T07:49:00.005+03:00

In continuation of what Rav Kanievsky Shlita said about the coming redemption, that by next year Moshiach will be here and we will no longer be fasting 9 Av, HaRav Dov Kook Shlita said in Teveria in his weekly shiur to his students, "Do not leave the borders of Israel between 9 Av till Rosh HaShana because difficult things will occur in the world during this time."

Harav Binyahu Shmueli Shlita said 2 weeks ago that within 80 days the redemption will begin.

Harav Eliezer Berland Shlita told his Chassidim not to purchase flight tickets to Uman this year till further notice. He also said some hair-raising warnings about hostilities that could erupt in the world before Rosh Hashana.

When Will Moshiach Arrive?

2009-07-30T23:47:00.005+03:00

While the fast of 9 Av is still in the air, a resident of Bnei Brak visited the honorable Rav Kanievsky Shila to ask him a few questions regarding the fast. The revered Rav answered him, "The answers I'll give you will not help you. By this time next year, Moshiach will be here and we will no longer be fasting."

The above rare answer from the Rav is extremely extraordinary. All those present in Rav Kanievsky's house were astounded to hear this surprise answer.

If I Forget Thee, Oh Yerushalayim

2009-06-25T07:58:00.006+03:00

This post is in loving memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe of blessed and saintly memory, whose 15th yahrtzeit is today, 3 Tammuz.

The Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'kl, forewarned: “Yerushalayim will have to be freed once more”

Recently, Yom Yerushalayim was celebrated. We bring a relevant excerpt of an interview with former MK Geula Cohen, who relates what the Lubavitcher Rebbe, zs'kl, told her years ago regarding Yerushalayim.

“I visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe immediately after the Six Day War. During the course of the conversation, the Rebbe spoke harsh words also about Yerushalayim.

“The Rebbe said that Yerushalayim wasn’t occupied because of a deep inner desire to free our holy places, rather due to external pressure. This was obvious in the way that the IDF was requested not to damage anything, and cost the lives of soldiers.

“He also spoke of the uncertainties that were part of the war that they hadn’t prepared to occupy our holy places, and didn’t identify themselves with those places, and have no empathy for them. Therefore the Rebbe said that he is concerned that Yerushalayim will have to be occupied once again.

“In that same conversation, he said that this occupation will not hold out, and that the city will have to be fought for again.

"When the Rebbe told me this, I was extremely alarmed. When the Rebbe noticed this, he tried to calm me, and said that certainly things may change, if the leadership changes their mode of thought. But this is what the Rebbe felt, and what he told me at that time.

“At first I was wary of publicizing what the Rebbe said. At the time, his words seemed unrealistic. Only after a while, when we all see the situation, I publicized the Rebbe’s words.”

Yosef HaTzaddik's Hillula

2009-06-23T06:41:00.007+03:00

* Yosef HaTzadik, zs'kl, (Joseph the Righteous) was the gilgul of Noach HaTzadik, zs'l. He returned as Yosef HaTzaddik to correct the Brit HaKodesh (Holy Covenant).

* Yosef HaTzadik was not born handsome and as he grew up, he was an average-looking teenager. When Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, met with his brother, Esav, Yosef HaTzadik was afraid that Esav will see his beautiful mother, Rochel Imenu, a'h, and will want her. Therefore, he stood in front of her covering her beauty. As a reward for protecting his mother, he instantly became very handsome.

* Yaakov Avinu took the birthright away from Reuven, a'h, and gave it to Yosef HaTzaddik. (Bava Batra 86:6, 123a).

* After the brothers, a'h, sold Yosef HaTzaddik, they regreted it and ran after the Midyanim to buy him back but were not able to catch up. The brothers blamed Yehudah and at that moment, it was decreed in Shamayim that Yehuda's wife and 2 sons will die, a'h.

* Yosef HaTzaddik, zs'l was 17 years-old at the time he was sold into slavery.

* The wife of Potifar had her servants tie down Yosef HaTzaddik and placed a metal brace around his neck with a sharp point right under his chin. Yosef HaTzaddik still refused to look at her and each time he would lower his head, it cut open his chin. This happened every single day for a period of a year, as it says "They bound his legs in rope and metal pierced his soul" Tehilim 105.

* The day Potiphar's wife tried forcing him to sin, he visualized the image of his father Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, and meditated on the name containing the Mystery of the Ketonet Pasim. This was the last thing his father had taught him. With this he overcame his desires as he stabbed his fingers and toes in the ground placing his full weight on them until the desire left him.

* Potiphar visited Yosef HaTzaddik in prison and knew that Yosef HaTzaddik was innocent. He was afraid to speak up because his wife was a very powerful woman and was afraid that Pharoah would place him in prison.

* Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, was living in Hevron at the time and he knew thru Ruach HaKodesh that Yosef HaTzaddik is alive in Egypt but he did not reveal it to his son, Yaakov Avinu.

* Yosef HaTzaddik was in prison for 12 years and the prisoners would abuse him daily because of Potiphar's wife. HaShem caused for 2 important ministers to err so Pharoah would throw them in jail. This caused the prisoners to stop abusing Yosef HaTzaddik and instead, to talk about the 2 jailed government ministers.

* The wife of Potifar would constantly sneak into jail and continued tempting him, offering him freedom and money. She had him tortured when he refused.

* When Yosef HaTzaddik was released from jail he received an incarnation of the soul of Chanoch ben Yered, a'h (who became the angel Matatron). That same night the angel Gavriel appeared to Yosef HaTzaddik and taught him 70 languages.

* When Yosef HaTzaddik became ruler over Egypt, the daughters of kings would peek out of the lattices and pelt him with jewelry and rings so that he would look at them - but he did not look. Every day he saw daughters of kings - sometimes adorned, sometimes perfumed, sometimes unclothed - but he did not allow himself to be tempted.

* Because Yosef HaTzaddik did not give in and won the battle, he earned the title Yosef Hatzadik, Tzadik Yesod Alom.

* The rape of Dina bat Yaakov, a'h, by Sh'chem ben Chamor, produced Osnat, a'h. Yaakov Avinu gave Osnat a scarf with HaShem's holy name on it and sent her to live in Egypt. When Yosef HaTzadik became ruler of Egypt, Osnat threw the scarf on him and that's how he knew she was a Jewess. They married and from their union, Menashe and Efraim, zs'l, were born.

* When the Jews wanted to cross the Yam Suf (red sea), it refused to split until it saw the coffin of Yosef HaTzaddik.

* Rabeinu Yosef Chaim's (Ben Ish Chai , zs'l) soul was rooted in the soul of Yosef Hatzadik.

* Yosef Hatzadik's soul returned as one of the Asara Harugei Malchut (Ten Martyrs), (an incident which took place after the destruction of The Second Temple), Rabbi Yishmael Kohen Gadol, zs'l, was the reincarnation of Yosef Hatzadik.

* Gematria numberic value 217, same as אני יוסף, I'm Yosef, same gematria value Devorah דבורה (HaNevia, a'h). She was from Shevet Efraim and was Moshiach ben Yosef of her generation.

* Gaon of Vilna, zs'l, says that Esther HaMalka, a'h, descendant of Binyamin, zs'kl, was Moshiach ben Yosef of her generation.

* פותח את ידך ומשביע לכל חי רצון "You open Your hand, and satisfy every living thing according to their needs".
לכל חי רצון - Roshei Tevot RoCHel, all in the merit of Rochel Imenu, a'h.

* Moshiach ben Yosef is the secret of the Ox.

* “Yosef’s bones, which the children of Israel had brought up from Egypt, was buried in Shechem”. Why Shechem? R. Chama the son of R. Chanina, zs'l, taught, “From Shechem he was kidnapped him and so to Shechem his lost body must be returned.” (Sotah 13b)

* The city of Shechem, is the secret of Yosef, who corresponds to the sefirah Yesod. This is why Shechem was given to Yosef HaTzaddik [and his descendants) for his attribute is Yesod."

Yosef Hatzadik's Hillula is today Rosh Chodesh Aleph Tamuz (June 23, 2009).
May the merits of Yosef HaTzaddik protect us all, Amen.

The (non) secret message to American Jews to leave the USA immediately and come home.

Obama's Mission: Destruction

2009-06-10T09:26:00.003+03:00

A MESSAGE FROM BINYAMIN GOLDEN

Barack Hussein Obama is a messenger sent from Heaven, and Hashem is causing him to do strange and illogical things which are almost foolish. However with much help from Heaven he achieved his role as the president of the United States and Hashem has put in him the will to rule the world. He is an evil messenger who will cause the destruction of most of the world [See Zechariah 13].

Obama wants to be a dictator over the USA and he is succeeding greatly. He is in control of at least 30% of the businesses in America. It is very interesting that he manages to do things that no other president would have dared to try. He can't even prove that he is American, and this is amazing. He has signed hundreds of laws since he came to the white house. No other president had ever managed to pass so many laws in such a short time and some of them are very, very strange as well as anti-democratic and anti-American.

Barack Hussain Obama is a combination of Edom, Yishmael and Amalak and he reached the presidency by open miracles. He supports all sorts of things that are forbidden not only to Jews but even to B’nei Noach.

He wants to rule America more like a king then a president. He came into the world as if he were the secular Messiah, the goyish Messiah who does not believe in anything even close to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. He believes he can save the world. It's unbelievable and supernatural that such a wicked and unintelligent man could advance as far as he did. It's a miracle [all of which shows that he was sent from Above since he did not arrive by normal, natural processes].

Lately he has revealed even more his true hatred for the state of Israel which is based upon his hatred for Jews. It is now becoming clear that he wants to destroy Israel, tear it apart, and he doesn’t care if the Arabs eliminate the Jews, chas vesholom. It doesn’t interest him one bit.

Pharaoh then and today...

Measure for Measure

2009-06-02T17:33:00.004+03:00

France denounced PM Netanyahu's statement that Jerusalem would remain Israel's undivided capital for ever.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, "No one would think seriously about peace in the Middle East without giving the Palestinians a state they have been persevering for years. It is their legitimate right." Sarkozy added that the construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank should stop as it is an obstacle to peace.

One Week Later...
France Plane Lost - An Air France jet with 228 people on a flight to Paris vanished over the Atlantic Ocean.

Meanwhile in America...
Following American president’s meeting with PA Chairman Abu Mazen, America has increased pressure on Israel to lift the Gaza embargo along with other steps in line with supporting PA demands against Israel, including a total and unconditional cessation of construction in all “settlements” which includes areas of Yerushalayim in addition to Yehuda and Shomron.

America -- HaShem will judge your actions.

Zohar HaKadosh:
A nation will arise from one end of the world (Korea) against the wicked Romi (xtian nation; USA) and will war against them for 3 months. Other nations will join the war and will fall into their hands (the nation from end of the world), till all Edom will unite against this nation. Then HKB"H will 'arise' against them, as it says, "וטבח גדול בארץ אדום" A gigantic massacre in the land of Edom (USA/Europe).
זוהר ח"ב לב ע"א:יתער עמא חד מסייפי עלמא על רומי חייבא, ויגח בה קרבא תלת ירחין, ויתכנשון תמן עממיא ויפלון בידייהו, עד דיתכנשון כל בני אדום עלה מכל סייפי עלמא, וכדין יתער קודשא בריך הוא עלייהו, הדא הוא דכתיב (ישעיה לד ו) כי זבח ליהו"ה בבצרה וטבח גדול בארץ אדום וגו’.

(Prophet Ovadia's prophecy, zs'kl)
Because of Edom's arrogance it will eventually suffer humiliation, as Hashem will humble Edom. Eventually Edom's enemies will deceive her, plunder her and rob her. It will be trapped into going to war, which it will lose.

Edom's land will become desolate, because she opposed Jacob. Edom mistreats its brother nation, Israel.

Due to Edom's sins its ultimate punishment will be retribution. Edom will be repaid measure for measure for tormenting Israel.

Finally the Jewish nation will be redeemed. Israel's exiles will return and its' future borders will be restored. Hashem's Kingdom will be established forever.

...Anti Semitism is continuously rising in many countries and a lot of Jews are afraid to look like Jews. There are countries where the anti-Semitism is openly flaunted.

...The world is heading for a Third World War, which precedes the final war of the world – Gog Umagog [See Yechezkel 38]. In that war two-thirds of the world will disappear [see Zechariah 13:8], may Hashem have mercy.

Secret of Living in Eretz Israel

2009-05-31T19:26:00.003+03:00

From the Kadosh Tzaddik Rav Avraham Azulai, zs'l,
Maayan 3, Nahar 13, Chesed L’Avraham

The secret of the one who lives in the land of Israel, during the coming of the Moshiach.

Everything outside of the Holy Land is under the dominion of the storm wind, thick cloud and flashing fire. These are the "outside" (i.e., the dark) forces, the atmosphere of the lands of the "outside" nations. This is the secret why the Shekhina (Divine Spirit) guards over Israel all by Herself, but only in the land of Israel.

This is not the case outside the land, Heaven help us. When the klipot seek to dominate the land of Israel, to destroy it, then does the Shekhina depart from the land and ascends above to the spiritual palaces and then afterwards the entry to the palace is sealed and closed. Then is permission given to breach the walls of Jerusalem, which are the "klipah Nogah" (the brilliant husk) which separates the good from the evil. Then enters the nations who contaminate [everything], who send forth their hands upon the children of Israel and destroys all the physical chariots and exiles them. The Shekhina runs after her children to see what is to be with them outside of their land . . . For being that her children are cast away, it is impossible for Her to let go of them. Therefore, the Shekhina dwell in the lowest of chariots . . .

Know, that it is an accepted tradition in our hands, that on the day that King Mashiach will come with the ingathering of the exiles to the Land of Israel, there will be found in the Land 7000 of the children of Israel. On this same day, the dead of the Land of Israel shall be restored to life.

On that same day also, the walls of Jerusalem shall be removed, and rebuilt from precious stones and pearls. Then, at the time, the dead of the Land of Israel shall be restored to life, they shall be new spiritual creations. Also, the 7000 who shall be left alive at that time, they too shall be new creations, all of them with spiritual bodies, similar to the body of Adam prior to his sin, and the body of Chanoch, Moshe Rabeinu and Eliyahu. They shall all float in the air, soaring like eagles. This shall be seen by all the people ingathered from the exile.

When their brothers are made into a new creation, soaring through the air, they'll dwell in the (lower) Gan Eden and learn Torah from the Mouth of the Holy One, Blessed be He. All the children of the ingathered exiles, with worry in their hearts and anguish in their souls, will cry out to King Mashiach. They ask, we also are the nation of the Children of Israel like them. Why have they merited to be spiritual beings in body and soul, and not us? Why are we less?

The Mashiach shall answer them saying, "The character of the Holy One, Blessed be He is already known and famous; He gives to each one 'measure for measure'. These people also dwelled outside of the Land, and after great effort they succeeded to come to the Land of Israel, in order to merit a purified soul. They cared not for their physical or material well being. They came by sea and by land, and were not dissuaded by the dangers of the sea or of being robbed along their journey. They suffered under cruel regimes, all for the sake of the essence of their spirit and soul. Therefore, have they become complete spiritual beings, measure for measure.

However all of you, who had the ability to come to the Land of Israel, as they did, were discouraged over concern for your finances. You were worried about your physical safety and your money. These, you made to be the principle things in your lives, and not your spirit and soul. Therefore have you remained physical beings".

May the merit of the tzaddik Rabbi Avraham Azulai, zs'kl, protect us all, Amen.

ON ROSH CHODESH SIVAN, May 24
North Korea defiantly conducted its second and more powerful nuclear test;

2 days later... Tues. May 26
The UN unanimously condemned North Korea for conducting an underground nuclear test.
North Korea responded by firing six missiles hours later in defiance of US demands for end of aggression

3 days later... Wed. May 27
North Korea warned South Korea and the United States that Seoul's participation in a US-led program is equal to a declaration of war.

Meanwhile... Russia is taking precautionary security measures because it fears tensions over the test could lead to nuclear war.

Things are moving in a hectic pace. HKB'H is flashing a big huge neon lighted sign "Last Call"......

Most American people have no idea what N. Korea is capable of. See North Korea Military Guide. If you want to heed the warning, do so. If you don't/can't/won't etc., it's your choice but use these precious moments to do Teshuva, return to HKB'H.

Divrei Torah For Shavuous

2009-05-27T06:40:00.003+03:00

Guest post by Reb Ploni

… It is very surprising that the Holy One, blessed be He, commanded on Tuesday night (before He gave us the Torah) that the Jews should separate from their wives (as explained in Gemora Shabbos), and the separation should start immediately … One would have thought that the people would have needed a few days preparation before this … especially because there is an established rule that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not make unfair demands from His creations … and here He did not give any advanced notice but immediately gave a command to separate.

… The reason there was no advance notice is because there were two reasons for the commandment of separation. The first was that separation was a preparation to help each person become detached from materialism so that he would be able to receive spirituality. The second is that this was a test given to the people to check if they were fitting to receive spirituality, meaning to receive the Torah. The test was - would they be willing to immediately detach themselves from materialism, without prior notice. Those who were willing to do that were deemed fitting to receive the Torah…

Therefore the test had to happen specifically without notice, because they needed to be able to immediately detach themselves from materialism. If anyone was not willing to do this, this showed that he was not ready to receive the Torah. To give an example from this world, if G-d forbid, there is a fire, then certainly everyone would drop everything and flee to save their life, because saving their life comes before saving his property … and even if they were not prepared for this beforehand. A person certainly does not need preparation, if G-d forbid there is a fire, to understand that he has to leave everything, his house and his property, since in his heart he understands how precious his life is….

Similarly, when the Holy One, blessed be He wanted to reveal Himself and give the Torah, the people needed to understand that the Torah is life. They needed to be ready in their hearts to separate immediately. Those who were not prepared for this by having planting deeply in their heart the understanding that spirituality is much more important than materialism, and did not realize the true value of the Holy Torah and serving G-d, would be unprepared to suddenly abandon materialism. This was their test. At the time of the giving of the Torah, all of the Jewish nation passed this test, and were worthy of praise.

From this we can learn that someone who wants to merit the crown of Torah needs to have planted deeply in his heart the concept that “Torah is our life and the length of our days” and “is more valuable than gold and pearls” until he is prepared for such a test and be willing to give up everything for the sake of the Torah and its’ commandments. And if, G-d forbid, he will encounter such a test and has no time, not even a moment, to consider things carefully, but immediately willingly gives up all of his material things for the sake of the Holy Torah, in order to save his “true life”, (similar to the case of a sudden fire …); only after he successfully passes such a sudden test can he know that he is truly a “ben Torah” and not just fooling himself. But anyone who G-d forbid is willing to give up learning the Holy Torah, or give up performing its’ commandments because of his own convenience, or because some unpleasant things may occur, certainly such a person has not yet come to the level of a “ben Torah” who is worthy for “Kabalas Hatorah” and the crown of Torah.

Song of Songs (3:1) writes “On the day of his wedding and on the day of the happiness of his heart”. The gemorra explains “the day of his wedding” refers to “Giving of the Torah”, and “the day of the happiness of his heart” refers to “rebuilding the Beis Hamikdash”, may it be rebuilt soon in our days. This is the complete redemption which we are waiting for. Since we see that the verse puts Giving of the Torah next to rebuilding the Beis Hamikdash, we can connect these ideas in other contexts. Just like the preparation for the Giving of the Torah included separating from this world as explained above, and also if they could make this detachment suddenly with no advanced notice, so too this type of sudden separation from this world (materialism) will precede the final redemption. Only someone who truly is not attached to this world will be able to pass this test. Therefore, before the final redemption, we also need to be prepared to go through this type of trial…. As is written in Malachi (3:1), “…And suddenly, the Lord Whom you seek will come to His Temple….”. (Rashi says “the Lord Whom you seek” is The G-d of justice.) [This means that someone who truly searches for the complete redemption, and the spiritual world of truth, will have the Lord appear to him and will merit the complete redemption.]

Someone who is not ready to suddenly disconnect from this world, will not able to pass this test, G-d forbid. So we need to try and put in lots of effort to prepare our heart to be ready for this test. We do not know if at this time we are at the spiritual level needed to pass such a test, or if we are fooling ourselves. We will only know when the test comes, then we will see. We don’t know how difficult this test will be, how sudden it will be, or whether it will be something that will come in one moment. But we need to be ready to detach ourselves from everything in order to receive the spirituality and the truth and the new world.

The easiest way to come close to the Holy One, blessed be He, is through prayer, as is brought down in the holy seferim. Harav Chaim Vital wrote that it is already impossible to spiritually purify and cleanse the body except through prayer…. A person needs to know the treasure which exists in prayer. Even when a person is not able to pray in the proper manner, meaning that he is not pouring out his soul to G-d, as written in sefer Hasidim that prayer is “the happiness of his soul with his G-d”; even if his prayer is on a simpler level, the manner which he expresses his heart to G-d also cleans the heart of a person and this purifies and cleans the person.

Critical Moments

2009-05-25T09:14:00.020+03:00

Unfortunately, some people just don't get it -- the warning to come to Eretz Israel has NOT been extended. The deadline to come to Israel safely was Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769!!!!!!

To better understand the crucial situation, I'll give an example from our holy Torah. When HKB'H ordered Noach HaTzaddik, zs'kl, to enter the ark with his family and all the animals, the flood did not begin on that day. People continued mocking Noach HaTzaddik even as he entered the ark.

SEVEN days after the deadline, it began drizzling but this clear sign did not stir the people. When the drizzle turned into rain, people continued to ridicule Noach HaTzaddik's warnings. By the time people realized the rain turned into a catastrophic world-wide flood, it was too late...

"American Jews in the Diaspora should begin preparing returning to Eretz Israel - the latest possible date to return to Israel is Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 5769 (May 24, 2009). Those that will not return by that date, will 'miss the boat'"

December 23, 2008
"Although things change in Shamayim, the decree to leave America by Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769 has not been changed!"

"Although Eretz Israel is bought with pain, regardless it will be better and safer in Eretz Israel than anywhere else." He again stressed, "Jews should leave to Eretz Israel ASAP - while they still can.... deadline is Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769."

Yehudit's Vision (a'h) 2004
* The Unites States will be severly struck because of their pride.
* The dollar will lose its value and the inflation will severely escalate.
* America will become bankrupt.
* The severe strikes on the U.S. will come thru wars and even more, thru powerful weather disasters.
* Antisemitism will rise to unimaginable heights.
* Jews of the United States will be forced to flee like fugitives, because those who survived the weather disasters will not be able to survive the tremendeous waves of hatred against them.
* The survivors will arrive in Israel with only the cloths on their back and Moshiach ben Yosef will reach out to help them.

Rav Amnon Yitzchak Shlita
"I can only tell you one thing...
The situation for all the Jews around the world is very D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S!!
Jews, save yourselves and come to Eretz Israel"

How many signs to you need to see in order to realize that something cataclysmic is arriving and we, the Jews, are not immune...

May 22: Yeshiva Shaarei Torah was in the news when a grate collapsed, sending 30 students to the hospital;
May 23: President Obama boldly tells Americans: "We are out of money."

ON ROSH CHODESH SIVAN, May 24...
* 6th Yeshiva closed due to the recent swine flu outbreak;
* Multiple earthquakes - Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria;
* Russia dumps U.S. Dollar and adopts the Euro as reserve currency;
* North Korea defiantly conducted its second and more powerful nuclear test;
* Iran sends six warships to international waters

Nothing happens coincidentally, everything has an indication, we just have to observe the connections.

WAKE UP MY FRIENDS!!!!!

Get out while you still can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The judgment began 3 days before Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769 with a 30 day margin. Excluding a 3 day leeway till Rosh Chodesh Sivan, it can transpire as soon as tonight or in 7 days... the maximum amount of time it will occur is within 26 days! It will happen -- this is NOT a false alarm!!!!

There's no time. At any given moment from Rosh Chodesh Sivan, it can strike!!!

Many that will unfortunately choose to remain in the diaspora, c'v, after it will strike, will not be able to sit behind a computer and mock that this warning was bugos!!!!!!!! For my part, you are completely forgiven if you ridiculed the warning!!!!

If you cannot leave the diaspora for whatever reason, use these precious moments to do Teshuva, return to HKB'H.

Countdown Ticking!

2009-05-24T14:03:00.004+03:00

At the urge of autistic Binyamin Golden, Rabbi Sachs Shlita recently opened a new site together with Binyamin to help us understand current world events and wake us up to realize how close we are to the end.

Autistic Binyamin Golden recently said: “Barak Hussain Obama has been sent by Shamayim to help destroy much of the world. Therefore we should keep our eye on him and his erratic and wild actions in order to realize that Hashem is making him do these strange things in order to destroy the world of lies and bring us to the world of Truth..."

Dvar Torah Bechukotai "My Laws"

2009-05-14T14:54:00.007+03:00

Guest post by Reb Anonymous

The Yaavetz, zs'kl, (in sefer Migdal Oze) discusses in great detail that the cause that our exile has been prolonged, the cause of decrees of annihilation against us, and the cause of our expulsion from many countries was due to the sin of having a wealthy life-style and forgetting about the destruction of the Beis Hamikdosh.

The sefer Meshech Chochma on the Torah (Parshas Bechukosei, Vayikra 26:44) also writes about this. He decries the desire to settle down in foreign countries, and despite our exile wanting to become citizens there and indulge in a life of physical pleasures, copying the ways and life-style of the goyim, chas v’sholom. He writes "Hashem Yisborach patiently withholds his anger for a hundred or two hundred years. Afterwards, there is decreed upon us, chas v’sholom, annihilation, and decrees of expulsion. This is all for our benefit, in order that we should not fall away completely, chas v’sholom, by distancing ourselves further from Hashem Yisborach."

Sharply, and with stinging words, he writes that these decrees are what will happen in the end in Germany, chas v’sholom, see there. His holy words were said in the nineteenth century with ruach hakodosh. Due to our many sins, his words were fulfilled in a terribly severe way, may Hashem have pity.

Antisemitism on the Rise 2009

2009-05-06T12:38:00.008+03:00

In 1939 the disasterous holocaust began. 70 years later, the international antisemite is again raising its head, including in Europe, South America and even in America, there is no refuge for the Jews. We are very near the end and Jews in the diaspora must seriously consider their future before it's too late.

The holy Chafetz Chaim, zs'kl, said that Gog uMagog will be in 3 parts. The first part began with World War I and he said there will be a short break before World War II breaks out. He said there will be a long break between the second and third war and and during the final war, Melech HaMoshiach will come.

Just like before the Holocaust there were clear signs of antisemite, now are also very clear signs that the world is calling death do the Jews, r'l. There is no time!!! The smart person will make Aliya to Eretz Israel immediately, before it begins!

RED Alert!!!

2009-04-30T09:20:00.008+03:00

Something very dangerous and weird is going on in America and if you have not woken up yet, this report will definitely stir you...

At the period of time when news is breaking of an international flu pandemic, children were herded like cattle into Maryland courthouse for forced vaccinations as armed police and attack dogs stand guard. The State of Maryland has turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the people, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against vaccination.

In an odd twist, New Yorkers were shocked when air-force one backup, flanked by fighter jets, flew shockingly close in lower Manhattan at 10:30am.

The White House announced that Association of Community Organizations for Reform (ACORN) is now a “national partner” with the U.S. Census Bureau. In the same week that Americans learned that they were “domestic terrorists” -- at least according to Obama’s new DHS (Department of Homeland Security), -- if they own a bible, a pocket Constitution or guns, Obama’s Census Bureau hired thousands of new temporary employees, each equipped with a handheld GPS computer and sent them out to mark GPS coordinates for every residential front door in America.

No one knows why they are GPS marking every front door. But a supervisor is sent out to follow them door-to-door, to make certain that no door is left unmarked. Every door will be marked by one employee, and then checked by a follow-up supervisor.

If any one of these events happened alone, one might not get too excited. But when a string of such events happen all at once and are obviously very well-orchestrated, one should begin to question if staying in the USA is worth it...

The Ultimate Destination

2009-04-21T08:40:00.011+03:00

Many people are concerned with the post entitled American Jews: Leave Now! and are asking why the "sudden" urgency and why they should believe this prophecy. Why is it different now than before and what justifies the fact that this is the time to make aliya?!

To answer these questions, I'll give the same parable given by the revered MaLBiM (Reb Meir Leibush ben Yechiel Michel 1809-1879), zs'kl, when he was asked by his students when will the Geula arrive.

When he was a little child, his father used to travel to faraway cities to sell his goods. Little Meir Leibush begged his father numberous times to permit him to accompany his business trips but his father constantly refused until one day his father agreed. It was a very exciting day for little Meir Leibush on the day they were set to travel. As soon as they boarded the horse and buggy, little Meir Leibush asked his father, "Father, when are going to arrive?" but his father ignored his son's question. Approximately 10 days later, he heard his father asking the driver when they are going to arrive at their destination.

When little Meir Leibush heard his father's question, he asked him, "How come when I asked you this question you chose to ignore me, and now, you asked the the driver the same question ?"

His father answered, "Silly boy. You knew that we will be travelling for a while and asking when will we arrive on the first day was irrelevant. But now that we are so much closer to our destination, the question is relevant and necessary."

The parable is very similar to our circumstances. As we draw nearer to our ultimate destination, HaShem is informing us thru His loyal messengers that NOW is the time for the redemption and for that reason, it is crucial to make the final arrangements to securely arrive Eretz Israel to greet Moshiach Tzidkenu.

Latest FC message given by Daniel April 20, 2009

To the Jews in America; you don't have a lot of time. Your president is going to bring a lot of trouble upon you. You should start making your way to Israel.

To the Jews in England; it is becoming more obvious that the goyim hate the Jews - anti-Semitism, and it won't take long for it to fully develop. Jews of England, start thinking about leaving.

Jews of Europe, you are the goyim's next target, the Muslims. You should start leaving and wherever else there are Jews in the world, you should start considering - not just considering - you should start moving. Start making your way to Israel.

Birkat Hachama

2009-03-29T19:31:00.010+03:00

Kadosh Elyon האדמו"ר מאסטראווצע, zs'kl, author of Meir Enei Chachamim, wrote 200 years ago the third time that Am Israel will bless the sun on Wednesday, 14 of Nissan will be in the year 5769, and adds, "This will be last time ever and shortly afterwards, the Geula MUST come, b'h!".

One might ask, "What about the additional times when Birkat Hachama fell on 14 Nissan?" My husband and I pondered over this and my husband suggested that the reason the Rav only mentions only 2 Birkat Hachama is because both were connected to redemptions.
(1) The miracle of being redeemed from Egypt, and;
(2) The miracle of Purim.

Birkat Hachama prior to being redeemed from Egypt was on Wednesday, Nissan 14, 2447 and the following year Nissan 15, 2448 at midnight Am Israel left Egypt.

Birkat Hachama prior to the miracle of Purim was Wednesday, Nissan 14, and Rashi, zs'kl, writes that the following year, in Adar, the decree to kill the Jews was annulled, and our enemies perished.

From here we learn that both Birkat Hachama were connected to redemption, and both redemptions occurred within a year. Although we believe everyday that Moshiach will come today, but if it will take about a year for the final redemption to arrive, nonetheless we will not lose hope and continue to eagerly await his arrival.

החוט המשולש לא במהרה ינתק
The triangular thread will not quickly sever.

The third and final time we will bless the sun before the year 6000 on Wednesday 14 of Nissan will be b'h next week.

Birkat Hachama is a critical time of judgment for Am Israel. Before leaving America, my husband merited to see the Tzaddik Nistar once more. He told my husband in order to sweeten the judgment on this very critical day, one should observe תענית דיבור (no talking) till after Birkat Hachama.

B'h may we all see tremendeous miracles, Amen ve Amen.

Maor Israel

2009-02-23T15:25:00.010+02:00

In 1981, the Tzaddik Baba Sali or "Praying Father," Rabbi Israel Abuchazera, zs'kl, told his daughter Rabbanit Avigail Tichye and son-in-law, Rabbi HaGaon Moshe Busso Shlita to open a unique Yeshiva (Talmud Torah) for children from troubled homes and strengthen them in Yiddishkeit as well . A year later, Rabbanit Avigail and her husband opened Maor Yisrael, naming the Yeshiva after the Tzaddik Rabbi Israel Abuchazera; in his zchut (merit), HaShem will light up the eyes of the children of Israel.

Maor Israel is struggling to provide all students with equal access to a good education but the school's facilities are very lacking and runs on very limited resources. The school is plagued with missing or outdated textbooks, underpaid teachers and dilapidated facilities.

Please consider donating to Maor Israel and helping the desperately poor children of Eretz Israel.

Whomever donates to this worthy cause can send his name for blessings and prayers to nava998@yahoo.com and HaRav HaGaon Moshe Busso Shlita, the grandson of the Baba Sali, will personally pray for you at the Tzion of the revered Baba Sali.

The End

2009-02-20T07:04:00.006+02:00

My name is Moshe Levy and I used to live in Paris, France. I used to go to lots of discotheques but not only that, I also gave dancing lessons. I used to ride my bike a lot and one day as I was riding my bike, I felt very hot and sweaty. When I finally got to my parent's house, I collapsed into bed, and my whole body was dripping with water like a faucet and that's when I died.

My neshama left my body and from above I saw my family yelling in fear because I died. Suddenly something like a vacuum sucked my Neshama and I flew upwards and while flying, I heard beautiful music and felt happiness. The further I went upwards, the smaller the lower world looked. I was flying like a rocket upwards.

I was placed in a very dark place, in total darkness and quietness and was all alone. The darkness was very very thick and if I had a knife, I'd have been able to slice the darkness. The darkness was very heavy and choking and I was able to even hold the darkness. It was a form of a punishment I never dreamed about. I was choking and yelled with all my strength, 'where am I? What is going on? Take me out of here.' A voice answered, "This is your punishment for being an egoist. You liked everything for yourself, never considering other people; therefore, this is your punishment. Here you can be an egoist, everything is only for you. Measure for measure."

After a while, I saw smoky figures flying towards me. They were very scary and white smoke was coming out of their eyes. They were yelling at me, "Woe, woe, woe to you" and I saw more troops of white forms coming at me, yelling. I tried hiding but they kept coming at me, surrounding me and yelling loudly, "Woe, woe, woe to you". I felt they wanted to hang me dead. Suddenly they all became silent and an old man appeared to me. He had a white beard and looked very beautiful. He looked so gentle and it was a real pleasure just to look at him. I understood he was an important holy man, a Tzaddik, because everyone was silent when he entered. He told the white smoke figures to leave me alone and I saw they were afraid of him and respected his wishes.

Who was this Tzaddik? It was my grandfather, Rabbi Yitzchak Tayeb, zs'kl. I asked him, 'where am I? What's going on here? Everything is so strange. Am I up or down? Am I alive or dead?’ My holy grandfather answered, "This is the world of truth - till now you lived in the world of lies and now you are in the world of truth."

Suddenly he took out his walking stick that he used to have while he was alive and grabbed my throat with it. It was hurting me so much and I was petrified. He told me, "You did bad things in the lower world. You ruined people; you put them to sleep with your discos and tennis. This is what you do to me? Huh????" I told him, "Grandfather, you don't need to yell at me, we are family, I am your grandson and you are my grandfather." He said that in the world of truth there is no grandfather/grandson. I asked him to remove the stick from my neck but he refused and pulled it even harder. I asked him if I was his animal and he replied, "You are worse than an animal. This is the world of truth and it's a very serious world. There are no games or lies in this world."

"You are in terrible trouble in this world; your situation is very difficult. Let's begin with the little things you did. You were sent to Talmud Torah and did you ran away from the school?" I replied that I never did that. At that moment, a gigantic screen was shown of me running away from the Talmud Torah. Again I was asked, 'did you ran away from the Talmud Torah and curse your teacher?' I saw that I had no choice but to admit the truth. I asked so what if I ran away from the Talmud Torah and cursed my teacher? They replied, "It was not just a teacher, it was a Rav - an important person! You must apologize to the Rav for cursing him!" I didn't understand why I had to apologize; I remember he ran after me so I ran even faster. They replied, "He ran after you to save you, he wanted to help you. He wanted to teach you the Aleph Bet Gimel Daled to prepare you for your Bar Mitzvah in order to do HaShem's will. And what did you do? You ran away, you threw it all away and grew up without it."

They asked me what I did with my limbs? I answered that with my hands I did karate, kung fu, and tennis. They said, 'this is what you brought with you to this world? Did you use your hands to give Tzedaka to the poor?" I replied that I don't know what is Tzedaka and was never taught this. They asked me if I ever helped an elder person cross the street, did I ever do any Mitzvot? I remembered that when I was younger I used to go almost daily to an old age home and talk to the elders. I used to give them water or open the window for them to give them fresh air- it was so minor but in the world of truth, it was something concrete, something worthy.

They knew that I did Bikur Cholim but they wanted me to say it - it is a form of pain in Shamayim. When I told them about this Mitzvah, they began speaking to me in a more gentle voice. I told them that one day when I was about 16-17 years old an elderly man placed Tefillin on me in the old age home and it felt so good and although I didn't understand the words and was only looking at the Sefer, it caused me to get very emotional and cry. I loved this feeling and didn't want it to ever leave me.

They said that because this was done with the right hand, the right hand will not get punished.

They asked, 'what did you do with your mouth?" I replied, "I know many jokes, I'm a comedian." The second I said jokes, the entire world went dark! Everything went back to the thick and heavy darkness and I didn't know how to turn the light back on. I yelled, 'what's wrong, why is it so dark here, I'll tell you a joke.' As I was saying the joke, I felt small snakes inside my mouth. I couldn't see them but felt my mouth full of snakes. It was so disgusting. I understood that jokes were no good and shut my mouth.

They told me that I spoke lots of Lashon Hara. Suddenly, I felt a big machine inside my mouth and was being operated on. I felt as if 1,000 dentists were working on my mouth and I was in tremendous pain. I asked, "What do you want from me?" They told me, "Listen, soon you will return to the world of lies, the lower world. You will not return the same way any more - you will not dare say one bad word, jokes, riddles, and lashon hara. You will be very serious." I immediately agreed and the machines and dentists were removed from my mouth.

They asked, "What did you do with your eyes?" I replied, "Theaters, I saw many movies, girls..." I wanted to show them my little black book and at that moment, the lights were shut off again. I was again in total heavy and thick darkness and I heard something like a long train shouting. I was petrified. It was someone who was very very angry with me and would not forgive me. He was as big as a train and he showed me only his face. I saw his face was gigantic and full of eyes. He came closer to me and wanted to rip me apart. I was petrified and asked what is this 'thing'? I was told, this is the world of truth and it's the angel of death."

He came very close to me, next to my face. He said to me, "I'm not the one to blame. It's your fault. You created me. You looked and looked and looked and from this I was created." Every one of his eyes was scarier than the previous one. I was so scared. I asked him why he is staring at me and he replied, 'I am staring at you the same way you stared at the girls. You created me every time you stared at a girl and I belong to you and you belong to me.' Measure for measure.

It seemed eternal the way he was staring at me and I was so petrified. Imagine your worst enemy staring at you and all you want is for him to go away, to leave, and to disappear. It was like having your worst 1,000 enemies staring at you, ready to tear you apart. The time seemed like 20 years.

I understood that I must correct my ways and protect my eyes. I realized that what I did was wrong and I thought to myself if I'm enabled to return to the world of lies, the lower world, I will change my ways. As soon as I had this thought in my mind, the angel of death disappeared but my suffering was far from over. Suddenly both my eyes were removed from my soul and it was sliced into thin thin pieces and it became like tiny pieces of papers. It was so painful and the shame I was feeling is indescribable. I felt like my neshama turned into powder and was being thrown all around. I wanted to die but I was already dead.

They suddenly returned the soul to me and asked me, 'what did you do with your ears?" I replied that I used to listen to lots of music. They yelled at me, "For music you did Bitul Torah?" They yelled extremely loud in my ear and I felt like a 1,000 microphones were inside my ear popping out my eardrums. My eardrums literally popped out and it was so painful. I remember this pain as if it just happened. The volume of the microphones in my ears is indescribable. They told me that the punishment is measure for measure. I went to discos and caused others to sin, this is my punishment and they will decide for how long.

They asked me, "What did you do with your legs?" Meanwhile, my ears, mouth, and eyes were simultaneously still suffering and I couldn't even concentrate on their question. I was so confused but knew that I had better answer the question. I answered, "I used to jog and run." They told me, "Begin running now." I wasn't sure where to run and they said repeated, 'RUN!' I began running and behind me I saw a large snake coming at me like a speeding car. His mouth was so big and he wanted to swallow me. I yelled that the snake should disappear. Instead, they told me, "You liked running so now run for your life because he wants to swallow you. Measure for measure. Running for nothing is not the purpose of the lower world and this is your punishment."

They asked me, "What did you do with your hands?" They said that they have a problem with my hands because of my fingers. They asked me, "What did you do with your fingers?" They told me that there are 2 people here that have major complaints against me. I asked who and it then that I saw my grandmother. She came screaming loudly, "Thief, robber, thief." I said that's my grandmother and they said there is no grandmother/grandson in Shamayim, here she has complaints against you. She again yelled, "Thief, robber, thief." They told and showed me how I stole a small piece of chocolate from her. When I was 10 years old, I saw in her refrigerator a small piece chocolate and Gd have mercy on me, I took it without permission and ate it without blessing it. I was shown on the big screen stealing her small piece of chocolate and eating it without a Bracha. They yelled at me, "Chuzpan - you steal food and dare to eat without a Bracha! Shame on you!! Your grandparents taught you to say blessings and what do you do in return? Steal from them and not say Bracha." My grandmother said that it's not her problem that I did not say a blessing, her problem with me is that I stole her chocolate. At the time, she was excitedly planning to give this piece of chocolate to a toddler but instead I stole it away from her. She said that I killed her and repeated it several times.

They took me to an abandoned home and I see people freely entering and leaving this abandoned house. There are many houses like the one I saw in the world of truth and inside them live lost souls and it's a form of a punishment. There is no floor inside the house, only dust and the souls walk on it. This is their home and I was placed in the middle of this house and I saw them walking in couples and all were coming towards me, surrounding me. They were yelling at me, "Thief, robber, thief." One of them I recognized because when I was younger and lived in the lower world, I took his girlfriend away from him. He was very angry with me. I recognized another soul and remembered that I once borrowed his pen and never returned it back to him. I saw a set of parents sitting like it was 9 B'Av. I asked what happened to this couple and was told that I caused these parents much suffering. I took their children to dancing classes and discotheques. And the pained parents cried every day and night worried why their children did not come home. They blamed me for ruining their children. They yelled at me, "Leave, you wicked person." They threw things on me, whatever came to their hands.

Suddenly, everyone left and it was quiet. I saw a distant light and it was very hot. I became hot, very hot. I went towards the hot light but it wasn't light - it was Gehenom! I saw gigantic bursts and flames of fire - it was about 30 meters (75 feet) of burning fire. I saw an enormous clock hanging and the seconds were ticking very loudly, boom - boom - boom. I understood that very soon at 12 midnight, they were coming to take me inside this hell fire. They were going to kill me and I am no longer alive. I was petrified watching the seconds tick away so loudly and it was so close to midnight, I wanted to die. I realized that I am a dead man and they have every right to burn me.

They asked me, "What did you do with your Brit Milah?" I couldn't concentrate because the seconds were so close to midnight and I was suffering so much. I was trying not to concentrate on the clock but rather on their question but I couldn't remove my thoughts away from the ticking clock. It caused me so much indescribable pain. They again asked, "What about your Brit Milah and zera levatala (seminal emission)? What about all the females you went with?" They spoke to me very aggressively. I understood that I'm in a terrible situation and there was no way I will be able to get out of it. They told me to get inside immediately because I'm Tameh (impure). They forcibly took me inside the room, it was a small room. Inside the room I saw a small angel with a warped face of a mongoloid - he was very scary looking. He said to me, "You created me and now I have the desire to rip you apart." I saw his fingers like skeleton and on each of his fingers semen was dripping. He told me that every time I touched myself and had seminal emission, it created this. He wanted to rip out my soul, to scrape my soul out with his dripping pointy fingers. He came closer to me and that was it. I was finished. I no air to breathe. I was dead.

I don't want to begin to describe what happens to a person that touches his Brit Milah! OY VAY VOY!!!! And oy to the person who is offered a Shidduch and refuses. He told me to tell everyone in the lower world, "Tell them that whomever thinks he has time, there is NO time, he must act quickly in these Mitzvot!" He told me that I must tell everyone and this is my Tikkun and if I don't act quickly to notify people, he will quickly finish me off. He warned me never to touch myself ever again and if I have a problem, talk to HKB'H. He warned me that every Shidduch I'll be offered, not to refuse it. HaShem will send me a bride and he warned me not to listen to other people's opinions. Do only HaShem's will.

He suddenly removed his black coat and I saw his body was full of pus dripping from inside his body. It was blood, it was red like blood. I saw sperm dripping on his body and he told me that each drop of sperm on his body is a baby I murdered. He wanted to come closer to me and attach all the Tumaa onto me and I shriveled in fear. I didn't want him touching me with all the pus, blood, and sperm. I knew that if this thing touches me, I'll never be able to live again. There is nothing more disgusting that this creature. I was horrified that I created him. I told him that if and when I will be allowed to return to the lower world, I promise that I'll make my utmost effort never to touch myself ever again. I also promised never to look at girls.

As soon as I said this, the door opened up and they took inside the darkness. I was floating upwards and I saw a distance light and as I was approaching it, I saw a circle of holy men learning Torah. It was a gigantic hall full of warm light and the Tzaddikim were discussing my judgment. I understood that my fate is in the hands of these holy men and there was nothing I can do. They were debating whethere I'm a Tzaddik or a wicked man. I became so crazed and begged them to stop but they didn't hear me. I saw 2 big angels stating I was a wicked man. I was petrified and I yelled with all my might, "I want to do Teshuva, I want to do Teshuva" From the fear, I began crying and continued yelling that I want to do Teshuva.

Suddenly everything stopped and I saw the most awesome light appearing and said, "I love you, I love you." It was Ishtabach Shemo La'ad. He Himself appeared. HaShem is so humble, so modest. HKB'H is not looking for honor. HaShem told me, (for those that can understand it) "Wherever you go, whatever you do, mention Me. Tell people about Me in your workplace, mention Me to people. I want people to talk about Me, to know that I Am the King and I Am in charge, not them. Tell them what happened to you and what will happen to you."

They took me to a black city - it was a dark city. I saw thru the darkness someone eating bread without first washing his hands (Netilat Yada'im). I saw gigantic angels coming at that instant to this person and they removed his soul out of his body and tore it apart. They took me to the sea and I saw a 30 meter angel that wore very strange clothing. He looked like an enormous king kong and I was so tiny and he drowned me in the water till it was no longer possible for me to breathe. He took me out of the sea water for a few seconds only to return me back inside the water. This kept going on and on. I asked the angel why he is doing this to me and he answered that this is my punishment for not doing Netilat Yada’im. He told me that my parents and grandparents taught and explained to me why and how to do Netilat Yada’im but I ignored it. Measure for measure. After a long time, they returned me to the world of souls.

I entered Gehenom and inside I saw many young boys and girls dancing while holding sticks of fire in their hands. I understood that each one gets a turn but I didn't know what is waiting for them. Suddenly a large door opened up and an angel came out, catching one of the souls and throwing him into the fire. You don't want to know what is going on inside, HaShem Yerachem. Yelling and terrible odor, sweat, and the soul can't take the suffering. I remember a terrible odor of excrement - boiling disgusting excrement. It was the most unpleasant smell to the nose and makes the soul suffer tremendeously. Suddenly they took my neshama and threw it and I saw myself flying and boooooom - it was terrible. I saw 4 angels coming from all 4 directions and they were hitting me hard with sticks. I asked why am I getting beaten up and they replied, "Sir, you will have children and if you will not educate them to Talmud Torah, you are finished."

They showed me what happens a person that damaged his Brit Milah, HaShem Ishmor. He damaged his Brit so much, blood started coming out it and it was very very painful for him. They said, "This is his punishment. All these pain and blood that comes out of his Brit will come to the world of truth and these are the babies crying. All the sperm that was ejaculated turns into angels of destruction and they wait in the person's grave till the person dies and they eat up his body. Every wasted drop that the man caused turns into an angel of destruction and each drop is counted for. Measure for measure. A person needs to think a million times before chas vechalila touching himself.

I saw a woman running in that black dark city. The angels of destructions were running after her and she was running in fear away from them. She was so petrified, her dress fell off and she was totally undressed. What does it mean she was naked? She had no Mitzvot to wear and was worthless, not even worth a penny. Someone who doesn't do any Mitzvot, even the simplest Mitzvah is totally naked. She was screaming HELP HELP but no one came to help. Suddenly, HaShem Ishmor, the destructing angels forcibly placed her in a black room and barbers were waiting to shave off all her hair. They placed her in a large blackest pot and the black angels in the black room with all its black walls beat her up because she caused men to sin. I saw she regretted all her sins but it was too late and now she was worthless. She was so black and shriveled - she looked like a piece of rag.

When I was 16-17, I put on Tefillin with an elderly man in the old age home, and in this merit, I was permitted to be taken out of this horrific room. When I came out, I kept vomiting, including my intestines. I felt dead, I was a dead nothing. My Neshama emptied out and I was dead. I cannot describe this - it is so awful.

I saw 2 Malachim going towards rooms and more rooms. I understood that these are court rooms. They showed me my holy uncle that suffered a lot in the lower world. He knew everything and I saw him going with the 2 angels and he proceeded silently to the second floor. I said to him, "Uncle" but he did not respond. The 2 angels closed the door behind him and stood over me. I understood that my uncle suffered in the lower world, he had cancer but he suffered quietly, never complaining. Suddenly my uncle yelled out "You shamed me, you shamed me." I asked him how I shamed him and he replied, "You told the community that I do not know how to read and you shamed me." From this shame, he did not return to the shul and missed prayers. He stayed in his house with his wife until his dying day. I realized I killed him. He told me that now it's time for my punishment and I began crying, "Uncle, you are my uncle. I used to come to your house." He said there is no uncle/nephew in Shamayim and now it's a soul against a soul! The 2 angels showed me the punishment for the shame of my foolish talking about my uncle. I understood that talking can literally kill a person.

They took me to rooms full of steel machinery. People were tied down tight to these machines and there was a large knife that slices a person like a bread slicer. The angles have plenty of time and they slice the person slowly. It was so painful to even watch. I asked them why I have to watch this and they replied that the pain I caused people from my talk is worser than watching people getting sliced. This punishment is measure for measure for shaming another.

I saw a tiny angel with a face of a dog and there were many dogs behind him flying like an airplane straight at me. It was like a war against me and they caught my soul. Their mouths were like a sharp needle (something like a concord's front beak) and they were barking loudly except it sounded like chickens. I cannot describe it. They went straight for my neshama and sliced me. I died. But the angels resurrected me again and I was crying, I didn't want to go thru this again. But again I went thru it.

Sometimes a neshama of a Sephardic needs to learns with a neshama of an Ashkenazi but the parents or the Rabbanim of the Yeshivot will not allow them to study Torah together. They don't begin to know how they ruin the children! And it also ruins the Achdut (unity). It's prohibited to separate Am Israel. HaShem is very angry at this and the people who cause separations between the Ashkenaz and Sephardic suffer a lot in Gehenom because they cause the children to suffer. Someone who thinks they control the world, suffers tremendously! I saw the suffering they go thru and they don't have Gan Eden, HaShem Ishmor. HaShem runs the world, not humans! HKB'H wants unity, not separations!

They showed me a woman who used to reveal her chest and caused men to sin. HaShem Ishmor. I saw an extremely large bear coming at this woman and he caught the woman by her breasts and hanged her breasts on steel pipes and her body was in extrutiating pain. Blood was coming out of her breasts and she was yelling in pain.

Women that wear provocative clothing, including so-called modest tight clothing that reveal the shape of her body, I saw how they suffer in the world of truth. She goes to gehenei Gehenom as well as the store owner! The Creator of the World hates immodest women! A person that sells immodest clothing is secluded in pain. There are many rooms for people that sell immodest clothing. In these rooms, they are secluded. They cannot move or speak.

Oy to women that wear these kind of clothing, those wigs, and think they are religious while walking the streets and showing strange men their beauty. And meanwhile, her poor husband is in the Kollel but he too will get Gehenom! Whomever does not believe, can ask me personally. I'll meet with him and tell him why he will be placed in Gehenom, r'l. He gave his wife permission to seduce strange men! Who gave him such permission???? First of all, he should abandon his Gemara and come home and clean out his wife's closet, the tight clothing, the revealing shirts, the short skirts with slits, the wigs. They are worse than the seculars. Shamayim told me this! A secular woman goes out totally immodest so she is unfortunate because she knows no better. But the religious women go out on purpose to attract strange men's attention. She walks the streets with her baby carriage and makes all kind of poses and her clothing are very attractive and she attracts attention, r'l. You see her body thru the clothing and you start having all kinds of imaginations. In Shamayim, this is loathed because it's obstructive. The Creator of the World is angry at this!

And the wigs they wear are a joke - they wear someone else's hair. And those beautiful big hats that seek attention. In short, whatever the woman wears that is conspicuous and causes men to look at her, she is in trouble - she is finished! A woman should dress like a queen inside her home only for her husband to enjoy and outside she should wear baggy clothing not to cause even one man to look at her. A woman who does this is a Tzaddeket! How dare a woman go out of her house with a wig or an immodest kerchief that reveals her hair? It's scary. In the world of truth, it's real fear, deathly fear. She attracts half the city and the most important thing to her is to be beautiful outside her home. In Shamayim, she will not be beautiful! Black angels will place her in a large black pot in a black room with its black walls and they will burn her because of her wig. She went out in the streets with a purpose that men should look at her, therefore, she has no merits!

I saw a woman that revealed her legs and for her punishment, they caught her by legs and threw her like she was a rag and they hung her upside down on steel pipes and blood drips down and she is yelling for help but there is no help for her.

For a person that hears Lashon Hara, they catch him by his ear and hang him by the ears.

I saw souls running to Harav Kook (zs'kl) begging him to save them from judgment. He walks them gently to Gehenom, suffering together with them of their judgment. He consoles them.

I saw people that had snow in their hands and I asked them why you have snow and they replied they are going to Gehenom and are taking snow to cool down from the heat of the fires of Gehenom. There is a place in Shamayim that snows and they steal the snow from there and in Gehenom they use the snow to rub on their bodies. I saw Rav Kook accompanying them into Gehenom and consoling them.

I saw people being buried and as soon as the burial is over, very hungry snakes and worms eat up the dead man's body. It's very scary. They come thru the mouth, nose, eyes, ears - it's truly scary and disgusting. Every limb that a person damages, the hungry snakes and worms have permission to eat it.

I was allowed to hear thru a hole from very far Tzaddikim sitting in Gan Eden. I was a wicked man and therefore, permission was not granted to come closer or to even view them. But I heard the happiness and it was happiness I cannot visualize. But it's worth to return to this world and to give up the path of sin just to be able to view this happiness. There was a thick wall with tiny holes and some have permission to view the Tzaddikim in Gan Eden thru the tiny hole. Just to view the Tzaddikim thru tiny holes gives the wicked people some sort of comfort from their punishments. All wicked souls that have permission to view the Tzaddikim regret how they wasted their lives on nonsense.

I was shown Gog UMagog. It was the scariest! So many planes were in the sky blowing up, there was no room for air. Thousands of planes all over America, England, France - it was a mess and very loud. The streets were packed with army vehicles and people were running in every direction. The world was violently shaking.

Suddenly I saw myself inside a Yeshiva and this was something new for me. I am sitting with learned men and I see that all the tables and their clothing are full of dust but the men continue to study Torah. I asked 'what is going on here' and they told me not to go outside but to remain inside with them. I saw that these men were very pure and holy and they understood that the end of the world has arrived. It's the end of the world! Outside the world is falling apart but they paid no attention, they were occupied with Torah. I understood that the Torah HaKadosha is protecting them. They told me that anyone who holds on to the Torah will be protected.

Shamayim saw that I wanted to do Teshuva and I understood that I must begin my Tikunim. They returned my soul back to my body and I found myself in the hospital's morgue in Paris. Thank Gd, they did not shut my box with nails so I was able to get out and I walked slowly into the hallway and was crying. Where is the Creator of the World? Where is everything I just saw? Everything just disappeared and I had no interest to talk to anyone. I wanted to go back to shamayim...

In the end a person takes with him to the world of truth only the Mitzvot he performed in the lower world. This is what the Creator of the World wants from us!

Forget the earthquakes, volcanoes, planes crashing, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. If you thought your life in America is safe, watch the "Crash is Coming Soon To You!!"

When the dollar crashes it is going to get ugly real quick and I mean real quick. Once it crashes, it will be too late to prepare. Get out while you can...

Shabbat Shira

2009-02-06T15:04:00.006+02:00

In honor of Shabbat Shira, we are doing Shabbat in a hotel in Northern Israel at Rechasim (about 30 km from Tel Kadesh) with all family members (about 70 people) in a hotel and my husband will read Shirat Devorah HaNevia on Shabbat Shira. Shortly after Shabbat, we are b'h heading towards the kever of Devorah HaNevia, a'h...

B'h, Reb Chizkia promised us that this week, digging will begin in Tel Kadesh and thus, building the Tzion lichvod Devorah HaNevia will begin shortly afterwards...

For those who have followed this blog might remember Ami - 2 years ago, the first night of Chanuka, I came from the US to Israel searching for the kever of Devorah HaNevia, a'h. While in the upper Galil, HKB'H sent Ami to help me find the kever of Devorah HaNevia. At the time, Ami was a regular secular single Israeli guy. But ever since finding the kever of Devorah HaNeiva, Ami b'h, returned to the religion and eventually entered a full time kollel in Miron, above the Tzion of Rashbi, z'skl.

2 weeks ago, we called Ami to tell him that we permanently moved to Israel but he managed to surprise us with his terrific news....

2 years exactly since we first found kever Devorah HaNevia, Ami got married to a religious girl - the wedding was the first night of Chanuka and he is now living in Tzfat with his wife!!!!!!!!!!!

A big Yasher Koach to Rabbi Brody Shlita for going to the Tzion of Devorah HaNevia this week...

Shabbat Shira Shalom my friends.

Hello from Yerushalayim

2009-01-23T14:58:00.005+02:00

B'h, our Aliya is going very well. We arrived last week b'h, and upon landing in Ben Gurion, we proceeded to the luggage carousel to pick up our 8 extra heavy and large luggages - while waiting for our luggages, we hear "All passengers from flight 808 please proceed to the lost and found." Turns out, all the passengers' luggages got lost and we had to stand on line to file a complaint and give description of our luggages... b'h. A day later, while at the kever of David HaMelech, zs'kl, we get a phone call that our luggages were found and are on the way to our home. By the time we reached home, the driver was sitting outside our door, (im)patiently waiting...

The following night was the Abir Yaakov's Hillula, Rabenu Yaakov Abuchazera, zs'kl. My sister in law is the great granddaughter of the Baba Sali, zs'kl, and she invited us to her grandmother's house for the Hillula. Her grandmother is the daughter of the Baba Sali. While there, I asked the Rabbanit and her holy sister if it's true what their father, the Baba Sali, said regarding wearing wigs - that if a woman will wear wigs, she'll never see Olam Haba. Rabbanit Pnina tichye (my sister in law's grandmother' sister) told me that she personally heard her father say when she was 18 years old "women that wears wigs light up the fire of Gehenom".

During the war in Gaza, there was a story that soldiers were saved by the same woman before entering a trapped home (trapped with hidden bombs). The soldiers were about to enter a house and when they tried walking in, a woman stopped them in their tracks and told them that it's trapped and they should not enter. This reoccured 3 times in 3 different locations in Gaza. At the third trapped house, the soldiers asked the woman, "Who are you?" and she answered "Rochel". My brother in law is friends with Rav Shmuel Eliyahu Shlita and the Rav told my brother in law that his father, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita, prayed to HaShem to send Rochel Imenu to save our soldiers and it was Rochel Imenu, a'h, that stopped the soldiers entering the trapped house.

I urge all of you to make Aliya - you will never regret leaving America but you might regret remaining in America...

Shabbat Shalom Umevorach, nava

Rabbanim are Saying...

2009-01-08T14:46:00.007+02:00

* Admor Belzer Rebbe Shlita blessed that no one will be injured.

* Admor Slonim Rebbe Shlita instructed to remain in Ashdod because some residents have no where to go. This week the Rebbe moved to Ashdod.

* Gaon Rav Lefkovitz Shlita: "HKB'H should blind the people of Hamas."

* Gaon Rav Edelstein Shlita: "We must strengthen in guarding our tongue."

* Gaon Rav Doshinsky Shlita: "Stop listening to the news. Strengthen in Torah learning."

* Gaon Rav Segal Shlita: "HKB"H is throwing the missiles, not the Hamas!"

* Gaon Rav Ronisky Shlita blessed the IDF soldiers that are fighing our enemies.

* Gaon Rav Eliashiv Shlita: "In Shamayim there is large prosecution because Jews are not in pain to what is happening to our brothers in the South. There are those that say, 'the situation in the South doesn't apply to us - it only applies to its residents and the soldiers.' The Rav said that these people will be judged for not caring for their brothers' suffering in the South, as it says, 'כי מי נוח זאת לי', even Noach HaTzaddik, zs'kl, was prosecuted for not praying for his brothers. How much more so in our generation. Each person must pray and strengthen in midot."

* Gaon Rav Karlitz Shlita: "The Chazon Ish, zs'kl, said that Bnei Brak will not be damaged because it is a place of Torah and the Torah protects. The same way, Tifrach will not be damaged because the learning of the Torah in Yeshivat Tifrach will protect the entire area."

* Maran Gaon Rav Steinman Shlita: "Only the Torah protects, and only the Torah will save us."

* Maran Gaon Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita: "We must strengthen in Torah learning, the Torah protects us. Family Purity is extremely important and will save us."

* Maran Gaon Rav Lefkovitz Shlita: "The reasons for our disaster and pain is because we are in Chevlei Moshiach. In the time of the Chofetz Chaim, zs'kl, it was said that it was Chevlei Moshiach and truth is, they were but people did not know how to take advantage of the situation and that's why Moshiach did not arrive. It is so vital that we strengthen in Torah, good deeds, fear of Heaven, and b'h, the Redemption will arrive."

* Admor Gerrer Rebbe Shlita: "There is no reason to remain in a place of danger."

* Maran Gaon Rav Orbach Shlita: "Each person knows where he needs to spiritually strengthen. Each child understands that the "Disengagement" was initiatiated by Jews and it caused danger to the security of Eretz Israel. A sign of Ikvita D’Mishicha (footsteps of Moshiach) is when Jews, r'l, become the messengers to bring disaster to Am Israel."

* Gaon Rav Pinchas Chaim Sheinberg Shlita: "In Shamayim, one page of Gemara is most powerful to help our brothers in the South. For 40 years I am saying it and from experience, do not waste time - learn Torah - it is very effective."

* Maran Gaon Rav Bergman Shlita: "Increase soldiers in the Torah. We don't know calculations of Shamayim and why this disaster came upon us but we do know that the Torah saves and protects and when there is decrease in Torah learning, only then, c'v, we are exposed to injuries, r'l. It is not for nothing that the war began on Chanuka, when unfortunately there is decrease in Torah learning in Yeshivot and Kollels. Torah is our breath and the secret of the Jewish nation existence. We have no one to depend on except our Heavenly Father, and we have nothing to do except increase more soldiers in learning Torah. HaShem should say 'Enough to our suffering and send Moshiach Tzidkenu quickly in our days, Amen."
(As known, Maran Gaon Rav Bergman Shlita is the Rosh Yeshiva in Yeshivat Rashbi and there are no 'vacations' during Chanuka and he used to tell his father-in-law, Maran Gaon Rav Shach zs'kl, not to allow 'vacations' in yeshivot during Chanuka)

* Maran Gaon Rav Gross Shlita: "The war is because people think that all that is accomplished is in the might of their hands. The army feels that it is in their strength to stop the missiles and rockets. HKB'H is showing that even with the strongest army, nothing is possible without Siatya Dishmaya (Divine Providence). We must strengthen these days in modesty, and above all, learning Torah."

* Posek HaDor HaGaon Rabbi Shmuel Levi Vosner Shlita: "We see many miracles during this war and we must increase our prayers. Soon we will be zoche to see the Bet HaMikdash, very very very very soon in our days!"

Prediction of Chanuka War

2008-12-30T14:34:00.011+02:00

Many bloggers were quoting various Rabbanim in the recent months claiming predictions of a war that would begin during Chanuka. The most popular one was that of Reb Ari Goldwag of Geula Perspectives quoting Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita though later it was deleted when asked directly if the words attributed was actually said by the Rav.

Did Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita or Rabbi David Abuchazera Shlita of Naharia really did say a war would happen, and later denied it so it would not be publicized and create some sort of chillul HaShem?

In any case, a war did begin on Chanuka and it has spread to the South of Israel including Ashdod, Ashkelon, Sderot, Ofakim, Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malachi, Nachal Oz, etc. and its residents are sitting in shelters.

A group of highly respected Torah scholars from Ashdod approched Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita last night and asked him for advice whether they should stay or leave the city. The Gaon Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita told them, "It is best to leave the city for a few days."

The group immediately returned to Ashdod, told others the reply they received from Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita and are hurriedly packing up to leave the city of Ashdod. Also the Belzer and Gerrer yeshivot in Ashdod are temporarily closed.

Gog Umagog: The Final War

2008-12-29T13:12:00.006+02:00

B”H

Guest post by Rochel Rivka

Intro:
What is going on in the world? It seems like every day another tragedy hits. I’m scared to look at the newspaper- what could possibly be next? The list is endless with natural disasters, financial losses and family distresses starting it off; “Every living person can clearly tell that the world is changing greatly. We are starting to see how everything (aside from Hashem) we have ever leaned on for support until today is now falling apart.”

The world is literally shaking; natural disasters and the gloom of a nuclear war are becoming more evident. Our personal lives have been disrupted- how many families do we know that are undergoing trouble after trouble? Shalom Bayit and financial problems are just a start of the long list; “I am sure that my fellow Jews feel keenly that the world is in a frightening turmoil. I am sure that almost every Jew feels in his own personal life great distress and much heartbreak, whether it is chas v'shalom illness or marital problems or children off the derech or other personal tragedies”. “Thunder was created only to straighten out the crookedness of the heart” (Brachot 59a); “Thunder” can be any sort of wake-up call. Any disaster, any form of thunder, was create to wake us up! The hurricane in Houston! The Earthquake in China! The Tsunami! The Cyclone! The Stock Market crash! The Terrorist attack in India! WHY?; “we have seen in the last few years tremendous changes in our world. Whether it be unusual and biblical-like natural disasters, or war threats that are more frightening than the mind can grasp, with weapons so terrible that we're afraid even to think about them, or money problems throughout the world that are causing great financial difficulties to the whole world, or to the food shortages that have drastically increased the price of food”. When the Chofetz Chaim would hear thunder he would stop and ask “What does Tati want from me?”; “what do I have to fix that Hashem is trying to get my attention?” These warnings are not new- they are all in the Naviim, the prophets, have spelled out what is going to happen. Have we gotten the message? Is the thundering waking us up or will it have to get louder? Are we even asking “why?”

The autistic children warn: “Open your eyes and you will see that it is all taking place right now, as we speak. Everything is happening according to what is written in the prophecies. Whether it is the war between Ishmael and Edom, or between Ishmael and Israel, the tremendous and strange natural disasters, the many difficult and unnatural wars threatening to attack us, G-d Forbid,or the fact that the water level of the ocean is rising and the ice on the North and South poles are melting...The world is in total chaos!”

Are we safe in America? Most of you would answer “yes”. America has been the savior to the Jewish Nation after the Holocaust- or has it? Jews have an opportunity to have freedom in this country. We were also freed from the obligation of mitzvot. We have allowed gashmiut to enter our homes and most unfortunately, our hearts. As I was writing this article, I came across and article relating Hurricane Ike titled “Why People Ignore Warnings”. Among the reasons listed, it says, “some people just don't perceive the risk to be that high," Rebecca Morss of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., told LiveScience. We do not perceive the risk to be that high either; otherwise, we would be doing Teshuva and removing the gashmiut that fills our lives. I was speaking to my younger cousin about this and she innocently remarked “but we are orthodox, what could we possibly have to fix?” That is exactly why need to do Teshuva! It is not about quantity, it’s about quality. Davka (especially) in the ultra-orthodox circles! The danger is when we are far and think we are close. It all stems from our Emunah in Hashem. Do we have emunah in Hashem? When the banks will close- because they will and chaos will fill the world- are we going to have Emunah in Hashem that He will provide for us? When our expensive homes are destroyed- through natural disasters or (G-d Forbid) nuclear weapons- are we going to have Emunah that Hashem will give us shelter? “It is clear to all that the world is on the verge of collapse. Every day, every day something happens in some place or another throughout the world; something terrible, frightening and unexplainable”; this is all in order to wake the Jewish people up! “It is only through Teshuva that Israel can be redeemed" (Yoma 86b).

A lot of the quotations in this article will be from autistic children give over through the method of Facilitated Communication. “FC” works the following way: the neshama knows everything, while the brain is a filter. If the brain is not working (not filtering) the mouth cannot let out that information. These children’s brains do not function- there is no filter- as a result they cannot communicate normally. Hashem has allowed this new method has been revealed, because we are approaching the times of Mashiach (I highly encourage reading more about it or approaching me with questions, since the scope of this article cannot possibly cover all of it). As explained in the gemara, "From the time the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, prophecy was taken away from prophets and handed over to fools" (Bava Batra 12b). HaRav E.E. Dessler expounds, "Prophecy was given to fools since by them the screen (i.e., the brain) is not so strong. The brains of fools are damaged, and one can peek within the world of the soul without any physical concealment or cover. When the brain is damaged, the soul is freed. It is unlimited and sees all. The brain is what limits and conceals the soul"(HaRav E.E. Dessler, IV). Regardless whether you believe this is true or not, the messages that they are giving are beautiful and should be listened to. The frightening part is how their prophecies and warnings have come true.

The Financial Crisis is the biggest fear filling the world. The American, European, Asian and Russian stock markets have plummeted significantly and expectations for recovery are not high. The fall of the stock market and the plummet of the dollar’s worth were warned months ago. In February 13th 2008, Daniel said “And what about the banks…? The banks are terrified - they have given people way too many loans and credit. This is the roughest time the world has gone through since the great (Wall Street) crash of 1929”. The Economist has labeled the current situation “the worst financial crisis since the Depression” (Oct. 9th 2008). At the time this sounded ridiculous- not anymore. They have recently warned, “The banks are going to fall and money will be worth no more than tissue paper”. I was in shock when I read in the news recently that Washington Mutual and Wachovia fell. This will force us to realize that “our livelihood does not come from our jobs, nor does it come from social security or any other such source, only from Hashem”. These are all tests of Emunah, complete faith, in Hashem.

What about the natural disasters? This year alone, there were more natural disasters than the last 5 years put together! “The world is changing, not just financially, but physically too. These are all messages from Hashem that we should realize the world, as a whole, is going to complain”. Unfortunately, if we do not get the message, “there will be even greater ones - far greater than the human mind is capable of even imagining. It will be terrifying and destructive in ways no one could have dreamed”. As Isaiah prophesized, “The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembled and tottered” (24:19); the earthquake in China was just the beginning.

The Midrash on (Yalkut Shimoni, Yishayahu 60) explains what will happen when Mashiach comes: Rabbi Yitzchak said: In the year when the king, Moshiach will be revealed [what will happen in the year Moshiach will be revealed], all the kings of the nations of the world are provoking each other [threats of war will be heard all over the world]. The king of Paras [the president of Iran] is provoking the Arab king [threatening the king of Saudi Arabia - the only country who still has the word "arab" in its name - with war] and then the Arab King will turn to Edom for advice [the king of Saudi Arabia will turn to the western countries led by the U.S.A. for advice on how to react to the Iranian threats].The king of Paras will then go and destroy the world [it is quite obvious that one cannot destroy the whole world with conventional weapons. In this case it is obviously referring to nuclear weapons. "the world" of course means most of the world, not the whole planet]. And all the nations of the world [the countries that will remain, see in Zecharia 13, the prophecy that says that 2/3 of the world will be destroyed] will shout from terror, fall upon their faces in fear and undergo such horrible pains as strong as labor pains [the whole world will be gripped with such a fear, since it is known that nuclear weapons can mean only one thing and that is: certain death]. And the Jewish people will shout from fear [they will be afraid that Iran may attack Israel, as well] and say, "to where do we turn?! To where do we run?"And He will say unto them (Hashem), my children, do not be afraid; all that I have done here, I have done only for you [everything Hashem will do is for the Jews, to destroy the reign of the wicked Edom, to eradicate evil from the world and allow the Moshiach, our righteous king to take over the kingdom]. Why do you fear? The time for your Redemption has arrived!” This midrash seems very relevant to our current situation. Hashem has given many prophecies: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:3). “And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price” (Daniel 11:39); hasn’t the US pressured Israel to give land? The pieces all fit in…

The Autistic children give many warnings regarding the war of Gog Umagog: “any person can see that we are facing a terrible and most difficult war, unlike any war this world has ever seen. Two thirds of the world will be destroyed [Zecharia 13:8] by Hakadosh Baruch Hu [G-d] Himself, without the aid of any messengers. There will also be great and wondrous miracles. Things will happen that will be obvious to all that they are coming straight from Heaven”. As the Navi states, "Indeed the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant and all the evildoers will be like straw and the coming day will burn them up, says the L-ord of Hosts, and will leave them neither a root nor a branch. But for those who fear my name, there will shine a sun of charity with healing in its wings" (Malachi 3:19-20). “I also want to emphasize the fact that we are facing a terrible war ["Gog Umagog"] that is going to change the whole world. A war the likes of which the world has never seen in all of history. And if out of sheer laziness or foolishness, we refuse to do the will of Hashem [to leave the sheker and come to the truth, as written above], within seconds we are liable to find ourselves in a hopeless situation, Heaven forbid. Or, we can find ourselves in the midst of the complete Redemption. The choice is ours. The Arabs are closing in on us from every direction; the South, the North, the West, the East, from every which way they can. And these are certainly not the Arabs that were around in the time of the Six Day War, who left their shoes and fled; the ones who were forced against their will by the Egyptians to get out of the military trucks and fight and if they refused, were severely beaten. The Arabs of today have a military of their own, more than adequately prepared to fight a real war, fully equipped with all the latest, advanced weaponry. Moreover, the amount of Arabs there are in the world today, by far, surpasses the amount of Jews”.

What about zechut Avot? Are we unworthy? “I wouldn't say that all the Jews are unworthy, that is not true. But the truth is that at this time, very few are really worthy. However, this situation can change in a second! How? If we make the decision to do teshuva, to really repent inside and outside, in every corner possible and decide that from this moment onwards, with Hashem's help, we will only do the will of Hashem or at least make tremendous efforts to follow His way and observe His mitzvot. And only a person who is truly longing for the Moshiach and is connected to Hakadosh Boruch Hu (Hashem), who does true teshuva (repentance), will be able to live in the world that will remain after the upcoming and final war. Am Yisrael, prepare yourselves for the next world. Go, prepare yourselves quickly! There is simply no time!”

These warnings started many years ago—doubts of the truth of the warnings have risen and been addressed: “You can't now say what you have always said, "you autistic people are always saying "soon" but then nothing happens..." Everyone can see that we are already there - "soon" is happening now, as we speak. Here and there people are claiming that there are still another seven years until the Moshiach comes. I'm telling you now very clearly that this is absolutely not true; there are not seven more years. We don't know if it will be seven months or perhaps even seven weeks. There is no way to know the exact time”.

Daniel and Benjamin, the autistic children I am mostly quoting, have a lot of warnings for the Jews in the Diaspora which I believed appropriate to add here. These are a combination of quotes from different sessions: “Brothers and sisters, look around you. See what is happening. Change your ways for the better. Realize that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the Ruler. Because if you don't, He will show it to you in the harshest way, and you won't be able to deny it. According to our holy prophets, two thirds of the world will be destroyed [Zecharia 13:8]. He will bring upon us miracles bigger than those in ancient Egypt. Fear, panic and desperation will grip those who deny His existence or His total rulership. But the believers will rejoice. They will be happy and Hashem (G-d) will care for them as a mother cares for her small baby, and they will be without worry, without fear and without distress. Therefore, now is the time to smash the Egel Hazahav (the idol-worship of materialism). Each one with his own hands, smash it and crush it into dust. And bury that dust forever. Am Yisrael (the People of Israel), it's time to come home. True, it won't be easy to come to a country ruled by non-believers who totally reject the concept of Moshiach (our Redeemer) and every other aspect of Judaism. But don't be afraid, because we know from our holy prophets that the non-believing rulers of today will fall completely before Moshiach is crowned. My brothers and sisters, come home. It's time. Those in Russia, you would do well to get yourselves out. Those in America and Europe, Edom will be totally destroyed [Ovadia 1:18]. Read the writing on the wall. Many of your brethren, people of means, have come to Jerusalem and bought apartments, thinking that when Moshiach comes they will be able to run away quickly to Israel, to their fancy apartments, and be safe. But let me tell you this: only those who truly trust and love Hashem will survive. Only those who live close to Hashem all the time will survive. Only those who really try, at least try, to do His will, will survive. Because only such people will be suitable to live in a world of Truth. The main reason that Jews hesitate to go up to the Land of Israel is the fear of not having their basic needs, food clothing, and shelter. Then there are others who fear that their standard of living will go down. To those who fear this, I repeat that the world economy will fall completely, and therefore financially there is not much to worry about”.

Great Rabbeim have also said lately that we are very close to the Geulah! Rav Mekubal Rabbi David Abuchazera Shlita of Naharia (The Baba Sali’s grandson) has been seeing standing to receive every person that comes to seem. He was asked why he is standing for everyone. The Rav's answer was astonishing and remarkable: "I dreamed that my grandfather, Rabbi Yisrael Abuchazera, the Baba Sali, zs'kl, is angry at me - 'Mashiach came twice to see you and you did not rise for him and show him his due respect. He will come a third time and you must honor him!' I don't know who the Mashiach is that my grandfather is referring to, so I began standing for all the people that come see me," said the Rav. Rabbeinu Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita has just recovered from two strokes this past summer. His son says the Rav is communicating through moving his lips and writing notes. He has been talking about the urgency to unite Am Israel in order to bring the complete redemption. Rav Shmuel Eliyahu Shlita talked about the extraordinary cloak his father earned from the honorable Baba Sali, zs'kl, which the Baba Sali personally prepared to wear for the coming of Moshiach. Before the passing of the Baba Sali, he called Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, who was lovable to him, and handed him a few things including the Glima (cloak) and told him that with this cloak, he'll greet Moshiach Tzidkenu. In the top pocket of the cloak are a few beard hairs of the revered Baba Sali and the Baba Sali told Rav Eliyahu before giving him the cloak, "Note that when you greet the Moshiach, these few beard hairs that were part of me will stay with you."Another thing that is associated with the Moshiach's arrival are the 2 watches Rav Mordechai Eliyahu received from the Baba Sali. Baba Baruch Shlita, the Baba Sali's son, told Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita that his father came to him several times in a dream and instructed him to give the watches to Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita. The Baba Sali said that when the watches read 12:00, Moshiach is coming. The Rav once said the clock is showing five minutes before twelve, and now the clock are at twelve. His son, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, said, "We don't dare to open the clocks without my father, my teacher, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu Shlita. But there is such a rumor - and we are really very close to the redemption. In any case, we need to pray that the Rav, HaRav Mordechai Tzemach ben Mazal Tov Shlita, will have complete recovery and his health improves so he can return home and personally see if the watches are showing 12:00 o'clock and announce the good news to us. I asked him several times about the watches and he replied the verse: ‘So says HaShem: Keep judgment and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My justice to be revealed’ (translated from http://www.news1.co.il/)”.

On Shabbat Shuva, the Admor of Sanz said "There are many signs that this year 5769 is the year of the Pekida (redemption) and we cannot lose the opportunity to be redeemed forever. Each person must do something to strengthen in observing the Torah and its Mitzvot and improve the Middot.” (translated from http://www.bhol.co.il)

The simple solution to all of our problems and the world’s problems is teshuva! “Yet most of the people are simply not moving; they are not trying to save themselves. And how indeed can we be saved from this upcoming frightening situation? One word: Teshuva. We, the autistic and brain damaged people, have, Baruch Hashem, written a lot of messages on this matter. But unfortunately most people just don't seem to care. We have already written all that needs to be said on the matter. We have spoken so much about this but many people don't want to listen, they just "plug their ears". The sheker is more pleasing to them because they are not yet familiar with the unlimited spiritual pleasure we attain from having a close connection with Hakadosh Baruch Hu. They are accustomed to materialism and are only aware of the superficial and fleeting materialistic pleasures. Such people will be lost, Heaven have mercy.

Yet perhaps now, with all the turmoil throughout the world, perhaps Am Yisrael will finally be prepared to realize the truth. Maybe with all the signs Hashem has been sending us lately, all the messages: through nature, through the financial crisis, through all sorts of personal tragedies, (may we not know) through the constant threats of Russia and Iran, and all sorts of other threats looming over us from all kinds of places, perhaps all this will finally open a tiny opening in many Jews' hearts, and they will begin to ponder the necessity of doing teshuva”. How many more warnings must Hashem send? Daniel’s and Benjamin’s last words are deeply touching: “Dear Jews, listen carefully to my words. It is true, what I said before, that Hashem is bringing us into the days of Moshiach gradually so that we won't get a terrible shock. However we are have arrived already at the final stages, and the end will suddenly be upon us. Hashem has already warned us in many ways, year after year, that we must return to Him and to His Torah and thus be saved.

However, most of the Jews still want to go on living a life of lies and don't want to know about or recognize Hashem's warnings. Therefore, I am telling you: the end is very near ["at the time Edom is destroyed, Israel will be redeemed", (Radak on Yeshayahu 63; 1 as well as the Malbim on Yechezkel 35;2)], and nothing can prevent it. Nothing will help us except returning to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and His Torah. However this does not mean returning to the charedi (orthodox) version of serving the Golden Calf. It means coming to a level of complete faith and bitachon in Hakadosh Baruch Hu and having no faith at all in olam hazeh [the materialistic world]. In the Talmud it says, “In the way that a person chooses to walk, he will be led” (makkot 10b). R’ Twerski adds, “The responsibility for choosing the way lies within in person”. The power of teshuva- which way your future will go- is up to you! “I am asking Am Yisrael to stop in their tracks, look back and see what a true Jew used to look like and then return to that point. Claiming that Am Yisrael cannot be blamed for all sorts of sins they committed is not reality. The reality is that we must rebuke each other now because that is the lifeline: "Jew! You are drowning!"”

What will the world look like when Mashiach comes? When Mashiach comes “man will externally look similar to how we look now. Hashem gives us everything we need now and will in the future world as well. But here, because we have to work we get confused and think that we are the ones bringing in our livelihood. In the Olam Haba the truth will become clear. Hashem will give us everything without the unnecessary materialism. Life will be spiritual with much more satisfaction. Don't forget, it will be a world without any evil inclination. I don't even know if anyone today can imagine a world without the evil inclination. The evil inclination finds its way into every nook and cranny, into every tiny crevice within the person. People are not even aware of how much the evil inclination motivates their every move. Abba, you know Hashem once took away the evil inclination from the world for three days and nothing, not a thing moved. [Gemmara chapter 7, daf 69] We are simply not equipped to understand or even imagine what it can be like. I want to emphasize once more what I have said in the past, that the world as we know it, is 'taking its final breaths'.

In the end, every man will be left alone with only himself and Hashem. On the Day of Judgment it is every man for himself. Am Yisrael, Hashem's beloved children; it is time to return home. There is no time. We are at the end”. It is hard to yearn for the unknown. We are comfortable and used to our lives. I even feel at times like there is still so much I want to do till this is all “over”. What we know now does not compare to what will and should be. B”H we should have the zechut to receive Mashiach, beyameinu, amen!

More Prophecies Unfolding: Ashdod & Ashkelon

2008-12-28T17:51:00.004+02:00

Not long ago, a book came out written by Rabbi Baruch Shapira, zs'kl. During his lifetime, the Tzaddik was not well-known and was nistar (hidden). He resided in Maale Adumim and passed away about 15 years ago. Everything he wrote in the book are prophecies. In his sefer he writes mind-boggling details, written over 20 years ago.

He wrote that there will come a day when settlements in Gaza area will be evacuated and handed over to the enemy. He warns not to purchase homes in Ashdod and Ashkelon. He explains that these towns will be bombarded with missiles.

Navi (prophet) Zephaniah, zs'kl, foretold this prophecy over 2,000 years ago.

Chapter 2
ד כִּי עַזָּה עֲזוּבָה תִהְיֶה, וְאַשְׁקְלוֹן לִשְׁמָמָה; אַשְׁדּוֹד, בַּצָּהֳרַיִם יְגָרְשׁוּהָ, וְעֶקְרוֹן, תֵּעָקֵר.
4. For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

Gaza and Moshiach

2008-12-28T04:35:00.006+02:00

About 2 years ago, Sara Imenu, a'h, told me in a dream that Moshiach arrival is very connected to Gaza and the war will start from there.

Israeli bombs rain death on Gaza: At least 200 are killed as 100 tons of bombs strike Gaza. Israeli aircraft attacked police and security installations across the Gaza Strip, killing scores of people in the deadliest raid in the coastal region since the 1967 War.

Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769

2008-12-23T16:06:00.007+02:00

After a long period of time, my husband was zoche to see the Tzaddik Nistar last night.

When my husband approched to speak with him, he told my husband that although things change in Shamayim, the decree to leave America by Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769 has not been changed! He told my husband that he knows we are leaving America within a month and gave my husband tremendeous chizuk not to forget that parnassa only comes from HKB'H and success of livelihood is depended on Shalom Bayit (peace on the house).

The Tzaddik Nistar told my husband that although Eretz Israel is bought with pain, regardless it will be better and safer in Eretz Israel than anywhere else. He again stressed that Jews should leave to Eretz Israel ASAP - while they still can.... deadline is Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769.

Hatzlacha raba and may HaShem be with you to make the only right decision for you and your family.

Aliya

2008-12-18T21:10:00.005+02:00

Question:
Shalom, I had a very similar experience to your friend's turmoil regarding making Aliyah. We were very serious about making Aliyah 2 years ago. Then I visited a "Big Rav" who put a big fear in us about parnasah (making a living) and I told my wife (big mistake) and it caused my wife to change her mind.
I always pray to Hashem for another opportunity to make Aliyah, Amen.
Bsorot Tovot
Kol Tuv

Reply:
What kind of a "BIG RAV" puts doubts in people's mind about HKB"H??????????????
Doesn't HaShem זן את הכל (feed all)?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rabbi Chaim Vital, zs'kl, the student of the AriZal, said that at the End of Days it's going to be the "Rabbanim" who are going to cause Moshiach's delay.

הזהרו מן הצבועים שקשה עונשם מן הרשעים
(Otzar Chayim) - "I heard from my teacher and father-in-law, who was the chief disciple of Rebbe Yechiel Michal of Zlotchov, that once when the Baal Shem Tov, zs'kl, was traveling on the road, he stepped into a wooded area to pray the afternoon prayer. His disciples were dumbfounded to see him hitting his head against a tree, crying and screaming. Afterward, they asked him what had happened. He explained that he had seen, with Divine Inspiration, that in the generations before the coming of the Moshiach there would be a multitude of rabbis, and that they would be the very ones who would impede the redemption."

This is your test - are you going to trust a Rav who doesn't trust HaShem to give a person a Parnassah or you going to trust HaKadosh Baruch Hu????!!!!!!!!!!!

Choose to trust HKB'H!!!!!!!!!! Parnassa of a person is determined by HKB'H on Rosh HaShana till Rosh HaShana - whether you are in Quebec, Zimbabway, New Jersey, or Tzfat iz not going to change the decree. Every penny/shekel has an address, date, and destination.

If you need more chizuk, remember that HaShem has PLENTY of money and it's us who need to work on our Emunah in HaShem.

Fallen Angels

2008-12-18T03:08:00.004+02:00

Like many Jews around the world, Moshe Benasher was glued to the screen, anxiously awaiting news from the once great - and now infamous - Nariman House.

From his Flatbush home, surrounded by his wife and three children, he tried to gather bits and pieces of information from outlets like CNN's Indian IBN channel and COLlive.

But when the ordeal came to a tragic end, he broke into tears."The only way I could respond was to compose a song about it," Benasher told COLlive. "I sat near the piano and was crying while writing the song. He calls his new 6 minute song 'Fallen Angels.'

Fallen Angels
She closed her eyes
He wiped her tears
He said Shema
It calmed his fears

He held her hand
Said it’d be alright
Knowing well they both could lose their life

And as my world watched it on the screen
We hoped and prayed and prayed again
That it would be a silent dream
But the dawn ushered in an unfamiliar light
The worst was heard confirmed

Now I cry to you, I lean on you,
my fellow Jew I ask of you

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

3500 siblings asking why
An orphan’s forced to cry
Mommy, Tatty hold my hand
One day I pray you’ll understand
The cowardly lion is not the king of the land.
But the question remains, I ask

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

Don’t judge me when I mourn
Today it’s me who’s torn
Don’t look at me
My tears are falling fast

They say it’s all a blessing in disguise
I can’t differentiate the lies from truth
What’s a mind to do

We were the super heroes of the night
We would illuminate the sky
They took away the torch but not your flame
What’s my mind to do
I will never forget you
I will light the sky from here to Mumbai
And nothing will ever look the same

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

Chassidim Never say goodbye
We want Moshiach Now

CAVE in Miron Found!

2008-12-15T23:33:00.011+02:00

The Dream:
The Tzion in Miron where we think Rashbi, zs'kl, is buried is not the correct location. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is buried behind the Tzion and the location of his burial ground is in the underground cave and can be reached thru tunnels.

The underground cave where Rashbi is buried will break "open" and Rashbi will "emerge" thru the underground tunnels to above-ground and will be accompanied with Eliyahu Hanavi, announcing Moshiach's arrival.

The Reality:
During construction today (Monday 12/15) to expand the women's section at Rashbi's burial in Miron, a cave underneath the Tzion was discovered and inside are numerous unidentified graves.

The construction was immediately stopped in order to investigate the contents inside the cave. One eyewitness said that it's a gigantic cave full of graves. The same eyewitness said that the cave extends underneath the building of the Tzion.

Will the Real Gog Stand Up

2008-12-15T14:20:00.010+02:00

A very dear friend of mine is going thru a personal turmoil. She desperately wants to leave America and move to Israel but her husband refuses. They decided to go to a Rav and ask him his opinion. The Rav they chose to go to told the wife to 'get over it' and did not validate her 'calling'. The Rav's non-chalant reply caused her to become even more upset and the constant urge she is feeling to move to Israel grew daily and unfortunately, effected their marriage.

When she called me desperate, I totally related to the 'calling' she's feeling and offered to take her to an extremely reliable Tzaddik/Mekubal.

The Mekubal told her that it's going to take some time but in 6 months, approximately the time of Shavuot, they'll return to Israel, b'h. She told the Mekubal that her husband does not want to return to Israel so how is it possible that he'll suddenly agree. The Mekubal answered her, 'right now he doesn't want but IN THE END, he will want!"

I asked the Mekubal when he is moving to Eretz Israel and he replied, "Soon." I also asked him if Bush is Gog and he said NO. I asked him if Obama will be the president of the United States and he replied, "Yes". I asked him who Gog is and he replied, "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - The President of the Iran."

I'm not sure how Ahmadinejad is connected to the Zohar HaKadosh regarding President Gog but maybe we haven't seen nothing yet...

In any case, the Mekubal's answer that President Ahmadinejad is Gog aligns with the following Midrash:
ילקוט שמעוני (ישעיהו פרק ס' רמז תצט
א"ר יצחק שנה שמלך המשיח נגלה בו כל מלכי אומות העולם מתגרים זה בזה, מלך פרס מתגרה במלך ערבי והולך מלך ערבי לארס ליטול עצה מהם וחוזר מלך פרס ומחריב את כל העולם וכל אומות העולם מתרעשים ומתבהלים ונופלים על פניהם ויאחוז אותם צירים כצירי יולדה, וישראל מתרעשים ומתבהלים ואומר להיכן נבוא ונלך להיכן נבוא ונלך להיכן נבוא ונלך

Yalkut Shimoni
Rabbi Yitzhok said: 'The year Melech HaMoshiach will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The King of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom to take counsel, but the King of Persia will in turn, destroy the entire world. The nations of the world will be outraged and panick. They will fall on their faces, and will experience pains like birth pangs..

Autistic Message: Why Were the Tzaddikim Killed in India?

2008-12-12T19:48:00.006+02:00

A MESSAGE FROM BINYAMIN GOLDEN, AN AUTISTIC YOUNG MAN 4 KISLEV 5769

Woe to Am Yisrael, woe to the world. The tragedy in India was most vicious. Many Jews and also non-Jews are asking, "Why? Why did it happen?" The non-Jews have an explanation based upon their understanding, without knowing the ways of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. They think this was done by suicidal terrorists who want more than anything to bring down the Western countries, U.S.A., Europe and particularly Israel.

In order to achieve this, they are prepared to kill themselves along with the rest of the world. Why do they hate the West and Israel so much? For them the West and its way of life are a great impurity and a spiritual degeneration that is ruining the entire world.

And Israel for them is the spiritual battle between Yitzchak and Yishmael. That is why they carry such envy and hatred towards the Jewish people. They are certain that they, the offspring of Yishmael, are the true sons of Avraham Avinu's firstborn. They think that because of this they have the right to rule over both the materialistic and the spiritual aspects of the world. That is really their goal: to rule physically and spiritually over the entire world, [it is well known that according to their Koran, it is meritorious to kill infidels].

However this is not the correct explanation for what happened. The real reason is one that every Jew must understand. We, the Jewish people, know that everything that happens in the world is a message for Am Yisrael. Most of the victims were goyim but among the Jews that were murdered were some very notable righteous Jews, the tzaddik who, together with his wife, ran an entire building for the purpose of bringing people closer to Hashem and also the two mashgichim that were there at that time, they too, were tzaddikim.

All the Jews that died there died al Kiddush Hashem [to sanctify Hashem's name] have the status of tzaddikim, yet those specific four stood out the most. It is very obvious that Hashem [G-d] purposely put them there at the time of the attack. That was done so that they should merit dying al Kiddush Hashem.

But why? Why did such tzaddikim have to die? Because from the time of their birth they had a tikun [rectification] to do. That tikun was to bring a most important message to Am Yisrael. That message is: "Am Yisrael, do teshuva [repent]. Because if you don't, you will have to suffer terribly until you do - or else, chas veshalom, disappear from creation completely." That is the main message.

Am Yisrael, those tzaddikim were murdered for our sakes [And they will gain much merit if we carry out their message and do real teshuva]. They have nothing more to worry about; they are now in Gan Eden since they were murdered “al Kiddush Hashem”. But what about us? What about us? My brothers and sisters, I ask you, what about us?

Also, notice the place where all this happened. Mumbai, India, is a city centered around money [it is India's financial center]. It is a major city of the Olam Hazeh [materialism, the “golden calf”]: full of Western tourism, restaurants, fancy hotels, etc. Moreover, the essence of India is based on avodah zara and there is avodah zara in every corner. And along with that, Mumbai is also filled with the spiritual filth of the Western countries, gashmius [materialism] and many other things hated by Hakadosh Baruch Hu. That is why it was an appropriate place to pass on this message against the Golden Calf [materialism and the vanities of this world].

This is only one small example of what is supposed to take place throughout the entire world if we don't do teshuva and eradicate the terrible impurity that was created by our sins. That is why it was so vicious. Yet this is still small in comparison with what is waiting for the world if Am Yisrael does not destroy the Egel Hazahav and return to the service of Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

Unfortunately, most of the Jews nowadays are very absorbed in the ways and lifestyles of the goyim, which revolve around gashmius and the Egel Hazahav. But now Hakadosh Baruch Hu is putting an end to the Egel Hazahav and destroying it completely. It is already in the process of dying [Banks failing, stocks plunging, bankruptcies, unemployment skyrocketing, etc. For additional information about this, see message 42].

However we are not entirely finished with the Egel Hazahav yet, and many Jews are still dreaming and wishing that the world would return to the way it was not too long ago, when money was flowing and people were very busy with shopping and walking around immodestly and all the other materialistic, frivolous things which are the exact opposite of Hashem's will – which is His Torah and His mitzvos.

Yet now, while the Egel Hazahav is dying, many Jews who have become so dependent on the excess materialism of the world, find that they must curtail the extravagant lifestyles they have led until now. They are confused and don't know what to do.

They are willing to pray to Hashem for livelihood, but in most cases they are still not prepared to do real and complete teshuva and make the decision to never again return to their old forbidden lifestyle, their life of excessive materialism, of the Golden Calf [See Mesillas Yesharim, chapter 1, which explains that the true good life of a Jew is exactly the opposite of the Egel Hazahav].

As long as they are not willing to do real teshuva and go back to being true Jews, then there will continue to be terrible tragedies. It will continue until the present world of sheker [falsehood] completely crumbles and those unwilling to do teshuva will disappear from the world, chas veshalom [see Rambam, Hilchos Teshuva, chapter 8, halacha 5], because in a world of Emes [Truth], only people of Truth can live.

Two of our prophets, Zecharia and Yechezkel, gave us different versions of how the world as we know it will end. According to one prophecy, many nations will come to Israel to fight against and destroy the Jewish people. But since the Jews will have done teshuva, Am Yisrael will not be harmed [see Yechezkel 38].

However, if chas veshalom, we don't do teshuva, there is the other version, may we never know of it. And that is that the war will reach all the way to Jerusalem, with a terrible earthquake and many, many deaths, etc. [see Zechariah 14]. There will be many victims and only relatively very few will receive Moshiach Tzidkenu. This version is consistent with the words of the Chessed Le'Avraham z”l [the grandfather of the Chi"da z”l] who wrote that it is known that only seven thousand Jews in Israel will receive Moshiach Tzidkenu.

We have no chance of receiving Moshiach Tzidkenu if we do not remove all the goyishkeit from our lives, all the non-Jewish things we have brought into our daily lifestyles,. How many times can we repeat this? All that is asked of you is to do teshuva, to be real Jews. You pray in shul, put on tefillin every day, daven three times a day, do bris milah for your sons and observe the other mitzvos.

However these mitzvos you do are usually done only by rote. Even Torah learning, in most cases is superficial. It is without love of Hashem. In most cases the hearts are like stone and therefore the Torah cannot penetrate [this situation was predicted in Sanhedrin 97a, see Mahrasha “penei hador etc.”]. The Torah we learn cannot enter our hearts because we are drowning in gashmius. This gashmius hardens the heart and distances the mind from spirituality.

In the previous messages we explained exactly what needs to be rectified. [You can also find information about this in the books "Daniel" and "Daniel 2", in English and Hebrew.] Keep away from the Olam hazeh and bring Hashem into your hearts. Return to being modest and humble Jews who live only in order to come close to Hashem and do His will.

That's what is asked of us from Shamayim: to be modest inside and out, and exist only to live a life of Torah and mitzvos, without any other pursuits [See Micah 6]. Jews should work only enough to afford the basic necessities, only what is really needed in order to live a life of Torah and mitzvos, without unnecessary luxuries. We should live only in order to do the will of Hashem. That is all Hashem wants of us. That is all, just that.

I am telling you all now, in no uncertain terms, whoever does not at least make a serious attempt to return to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, even if it is difficult, will suffer unbearably. For this reason Hashem has shown us the great suffering of the Jews who were killed in India al Kiddush Hashem [their suffering is part of the message for us]. Whoever saw the pictures was horrified. However, according to the testimonies they actually suffered even more than we know, lo aleinu.
Hashem wants us to take these matters very seriously. Those who don't, at some point or another will have no more chances to do teshuva. We are in the final phase preceding the Redemption. We must return to Hakadosh Baruch Hu or cease to exist, chas veshalom. Return to Hakadosh Baruch Hu or cease to exist. Return to Hakadosh Baruch Hu or cease to exist!

Message from Daniel, an autistic boy 4 Kislev 5769
I want to add to what Binyamin said, to elaborate and also to mention some things that we have already said before but have been forgotten. What does it mean to do teshuva? We must throw away the goyish customs that we have acquired during our long galus – and I am referring particularly to the Charedim. Because the Charedim are the heart of Am Yisrael, the example for the rest of Am Yisrael.

But unfortunately, that example is no longer appropriate, because very often the example the Charedim set for the world is of Jews who have sold their souls to the Egel Hazahav. We must change this; we must rely only upon Hakadosh Baruch Hu for our livelihood. We must realize that everything we need, from birth to death, every physical thing, comes only from Hashem.
We must stop looking for entertainment and frivolous things to do. Stop wasting time on nonsense and go back to the Beis Midrash, learn Gemara, Mishnayos and other sacred books. We must learn with all our hearts, not just with our minds, with our hearts! And love each and every Jew, feel the pain of each and every Jew and of Am Yisrael as a whole, be humble and modest and be holy.

A Jewish wife should be at home raising her children in the ways of the Torah. If she must work, she should work at a place appropriate for an eshes chayil, not in places where men work. Kosher B'nos Yisrael [Jewish women] don't learn in Universities and other places filled with goyish ways and ideas. They also don't learn in all sorts of colleges with “hechshers”, because that is also treif.

Real Jews don't go to restaurants for entertainment, they don't go to pizza places, Hamburger places, etc. to sit and eat. These things are detestable in the eyes of Hakadosh Baruch Hu; it's like eating in a shuk [a public market place, see Kidushin 40]. Jews don't go to entertainment places like bowling and so called kosher concerts for Charedim and so on. These are just imitations of the goyish ways and they are forbidden. Jews don't go on all sorts of trips and leave the Eretz Yisrael for no justified reason.

Women should dress like Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah [who certainly never wore wigs] and not like models from Paris [see more about this in message 35]. We should not bring into a Jewish home all sorts of written materials from the street or read books of the goyim. We should also not bring in books written by Jews who do not have real Torah hashkafos - even if they wear kippahs. And nowadays, even music needs a good hechsher.

We must return to Hashem and want nothing more than to be “under His wings” [Psalms 91:4] so to speak. From morning until night and from night until morning, to want and do His will.
Am Yisrael, whoever returns to Hakadosh Baruch Hu in this way, to his true Tatty [father], his only Father, the loving father who created him, will achieve eternal life [see the book Derech Hashem 1:2:4]. And whoever attains this eternity will have all the best of everything, much better than all the good in this world put together [“One hour of Olam Haba is better than all the life in this world" Pirkei Avos chapter 4].

How do we attain this? Very easily, all we have to do is seek to be Hashem's servant. Oy Am Yisrael, there is so little time. Come, do teshuva, return to the Truth because nothing else can save you. Not the police, not the army, nobody. NOBODY.

Am Yisrael, Am Yisrael, return. Am Yisrael our Father in Heaven is waiting for us. He doesn't want to "eradicate, kill and obliterate" [as written in Megillas Esther]. He wants us to return to Him because He knows that this is the only way we can achieve eternal life.

The Divine Spirit will go and return to Moshe (Rabenu, zs'kl) for 70 days. At the end of the 70 days, the pain of Am Israel will ascend to the Holy King. One Synagogue in the South will be destroyed and lost and five true Tzaddikim will be amongst the dead.

כדין לסוף תלתין ותרין יומין דיקטלון לכנישתא ההיא, ילבש קב"ה קנאה לההוא שופר זעירא. וההוא משיח בריה דאפרים, יפרוש פרישא כחד תור דקרנוי סלקין כקרנוי דראם:

At the end of the 32 days since the murder of the people in that Synagogue, HKB'H will put on a garment of outrage to the little Shofar (the Kingdom) and Moshiach ben Efraim will spread, like a ram whose horns go upwards.

The Sitra Achra (impurities) will be completely wiped from the Holy Land and Yishmael will make 3 wars with Moshiach. And they will come and bow down to the Master of the Universe in Yerushalayim, and the wars will be in the sixth millenium.

One Jew in India

2008-12-03T01:44:00.010+02:00

Shabbat Parshat Lech Lecha in the year 5742, the revered Admor Sanz Klausenberg Rebbe, zs'kl, gave a shiur and during the shiur he foresaw the murder of the Kedoshim in Mumbay...

"Even one Jew that lives wherever in the world, amongst thousands, millions, or hundreds of million non-Jews, they know that there are Jews that do not believe in the the cross and neither in the bastard Muhammad, imach shemo. That in itself is a tremendeous thing.

"A Jew sanctifies HaShem wherever he is. Blessed HaShem wants all the non-Jews to know that there is one nation that does not belive in idols. The Gemara writes it explicitly and this is the purpose of the exile.

"Jews arrive everywhere, and one lone Jew lives in India! It is only one lone Jew and millions of non-Jews know about him. They speak about this Jew, and inquire... did they kill the Jew??? Is the Jew still alive???

Prophecy, Vision, Dream, Message & Reality

2008-11-25T14:50:00.009+02:00

Prophecy:
Sefer Chesed L’Avraham (Maayan 4, Nahar 37-38) by the Kadosh Elyon Saraf Elokim Mekubal Rav Avraham Azulai, zs'kl, written 360 years ago.

In the scenerio of "In its due time," in Shnat Yovel, Am Israel will experience many pains simultaneously... Each person will need to go thru his or her own personal Gog UMagog. Am Israel will be poor, won’t have food to eat, won't have clothing, won't have pleasures, homes will be destroyed, cities will be destroyed, we will be homeless and will not have refuge from the bitter cold.

Just as Prophet Zephaniah, zs'kl, said, (3:12): וְהִשְׁאַרְתִּי בְקִרְבֵּךְ, עַם עָנִי וָדָל; וְחָסוּ, בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה
And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of HaShem.

Vision:
* The Unites States will be severly struck because of their pride.
* The dollar will lose its value and the inflation will severely escalate.
* America will become bankrupt.

Dream:
People were feeling very frustrated and confused, crying, 'I never saw it coming...". Everyone became so money-crazed.... People were banging on banks' doors to be let in... Bank employees were also petrified because they also lost all their money and the only reason they came to 'work' was to try to save their money. Everything seemed so chaotic...

FC Message:
"Soon all the banks will be gone, together with all our money"
"The stock market is going to crash, it's surviving now on artificial respiration!""
"The banks are heading towards the last bankrupcy!"

Global economic crisis 5769/2008:
Around the world stock markets have fallen, large financial institutions have collapsed or been bought out, and governments in even the wealthiest nations have had to come up with rescue packages to bail out their financial systems.

The United States has asked the United Arab Emirates for 70 billion dollars, Qatar for 60 billion dollars and is seeking 40 billion dollars from Kuwait to help it curb the global financial meltdown. The United States plans to use the funds to help the ailing automobile industry, banks, and other companies suffering from the global financial turmoil.

The mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is medicare and our entire government. The list is staggering in its length, width, and depth.

The global economic crisis is beginning to sink its teeth into the Israeli economy, manifesting itself in the form of layoffs and salary cuts. 42,000 people lost their jobs in Israel in the past three months. Religious institutions have been among the hardest hit by the economic downturn with some already facing closure. Gedolim recently called for increased prayers in response to the economic crisis.

Reb Akiva:"Whoa. Friends, with this kind of information you don't need kabbalists telling you about financial armageddon. It's right in front of us."

Obama CANNOT be Gog

2008-11-11T16:52:00.010+02:00

After listening to the Tamar Yonah show interviewing Joel Gallis and Dr. Robert Wolf (Redemption 5768), it's obvious that we all agree that the USA is without a doubt Edom - descendants of Esav (Yefet). The letters USA in Hebrew spell עשו and America's famous uncle is Sam (the minister angel of Edom is the SM; Sam in Hebrew is סמ)

BUT, I'd like to share with you a very important fact that has been overlooked regarding Obama and why there is no remote possibility that he is Gog.

Whether Obama considers himself a xtian or muslim is not significant. The color of his skin -black - is a fact that cannot be disputed.

After the Mabul, the earth populated from Shem, Cham and Yafet.
Shem - the Jews (the word anti-semite שם originates from Shem, zsk'l)
Yefet - the white non-circumcised gentiles
Cham - the blacks (his father, Noah HaTzaddik, zs'kl, cursed him)

ChaZaL tell us that although we do not know who Gog is, it is clear that he is descendant of Yefet.
פירוש המלבים על יחזקאל לח'
וחז"ל קבלו שג' פעמים יבא גוג על ירושלים, ופה באר שני פעמים והפעם הג' התבאר בזכריה (סי' י"ד), וגוג וכן ארץ המגוג לא ידענו עתה מי הם רק כפי המבואר שהוא נשיא משך ותובל הם מבני יפת ואינם נמולים

The Malbim on Yechezkel 38
ChaZaL say that Gog will come to Yerushalayim 3 times. Prophet Yechezkel, zs'kl, says he'll come twice to Yerushalayim and Prophet Zecharia, zsk'l, says he will come a third time. We do not know who Gog is and who is Magog, we only know that Gog is the president of Meshech and Tuval and are descendants of Yefet and are not circumcised.

Although Obama's mother is a white woman, his father is from Cham and therefore, it is obvious that Obama is not qualified to be Gog.

I'm still convinced that HaShem's elected Gog is George Bush also because he is a man of war - he began the war in Afganistan. According to most Gdolei HaDor, including the revered Rabbi Kaduri, zs'kl, say that this war was the beginning of Gog uMagog. He also began the war in Iraq and is still pushing the Road Map - giving Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

א. ועל סוסים ירכבו ערוך כאיש מלחמה עליך בת בבל (ירמיה נ מב
ב. ועל סוסים ירכבו ערוך כאיש למלחמה עליך בת ציון (ירמיה ו כג

Two verses from Prophet Yermiyahu, zs'l:
"And on horses they will ride, prepared like a man of war, on you daughter of Bavel (Iraq)."
"And on horses they will ride, prepared like a man of war, on you daughter of Tzion (Israel)."

The same expression describes the man of war on Iraq (Bavel) and Eretz Israel (Zion).
The gematria of the words "and on horses they will ride" ועל סוסים ירכבו and גורג בוש George Bush are both 520.

The Passuk can be read:
"George Bush, prepared like a man of war, on you daughter of Bavel"
"George Bush, prepared like a man of war, on your daughter of Tzion."

אין עשב שלא ממונה עליו מלאך ואומר לו גדל"
There in not one blade of grass that does not have an angel in charge of it and tells it to sprout.

If a blade of grass cannot sprout without HaShem's permission, how much more so a human being!? Hashem gives each soul certain strengths and certain weaknesses. Some of our weaknesses are given to us to be rectified and some of our strength are given to help others. We must acknowledge that our lives are totally in HaShem's hands and everything we do and say is only with permission from HKB'H.

B'h, with HaShem's permission and blessings, we are soon moving to Eretz Israel and therefore, I will no longer be blogging as much as I used to, if at all.

Thank you HaShem for allowing me to have a blog and thank you to all the readers for allowing my blog be part of your life. B'h, we will all meet very soon with the coming of Moshiach Tzidkenu, Amen.

When Moshiach arrives, be prepared to recite eight special brachot:

1. When we first hear from a reliable source the good news of Moshiach’s arrival, we recite
"Baruch Atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech Ha’olam hatov vehameiteiv."

2. When we see the huge throngs of Jews assembled to greet him, which will no doubt number at least 600,000 people, we recite,
“Baruch Atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech Ha’olam chacham ha’razim.”

3. When one sees the rebuilt Beit Hamikdash or rebuilt shuls or batei medrash, we recite, “Baruch Atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech Ha’olam matziv gevul almana.”

4. When we actually see Moshiach, we will recite,
“Baruch Atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech Ha’olam shechalak mikevodo lirei’av.”

5. Immediately after reciting this bracha, we will recite the bracha,
“Baruch Atah Hashem Elokeinu Melech Ha’olam shechalak mei’chachmaso lirei’av.”
According to some poskim, one may recite these last two brachos when aware that Moshiach is nearby, even if one cannot see him.

6. When one actually sees Moshiach, one should recite Shehechiyanu.

7 & 8. According to the Lev Chaim, on the anniversary of Moshiach’s arrival, we will again recite Shehechiyanu to commemorate the date, and we will recite a long bracha mentioning some of the details of the miraculous events of his arrival. This bracha will close with the words, "Baruch Atah Hashem Go’el Yisroel."

Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita had some very harsh words regarding today’s sheitels, stating the women who wear them today are as if they go outdoor bareheaded.

The statements were made last week during the Rav’s daily Gemara Shabbos shiur the weekly Belze-affiliated BaKehilla reported.

The Rav is quoted as saying there are permitted sheitels and those that are asur, but today’s are strictly forbidden. He called “today’s” sheitels “erva”, stating they are absolutely forbidden.

A participant in the shiur asked Rav Elyashiv how they wore human hair wigs in the time of the Gemara, to which he responded the wigs of those days were different, with the best at that time being comparable perhaps to today’s worst, adding today’s human hair wigs represent “erva” and are absolutely forbidden.

The Rav repeated over and over again the severity of the isur of wearing such sheitels, which the wife and her husband share equal responsibility.

2008-11-02T18:18:00.012+02:00

Why is Am Israel suffering so much? Why are there so many illnesses? Why so many tragedies in Am Israel? Why are we suffering so much? Why are there so many widoes and orphans in Am Israel? Why is Am Israel drowning in pain, lack of livlihood, illnesses, suffering?

Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita
What I'm saying is from the Gdolei HaDor and poskim and not from my heart and my mind. 200 years ago Hagaon Pinchas Levy Horwitz, zs'kl, the Av Bet Din in Frankfurt took out a sefer Torah and with 2 talmidei Chachamim Dayanim, he placed a complete cherem (total exclusion of a person from the Jewish community) on any woman that wears a wig in public. He said on the Sefer Torah that any woman wearing a wig will be placed on the highest ecclesiastical censure.

The reason a wig is prohibited is because it is not modest - it doesn't matter if the hair of the wig comes from India or Ghana - it remains immodest.

The Vilna Gaon, Chatam Sofer, Rabbi Abraham Palággi, zs'kl, as well as additional Gaonim prohibited women to wear wigs. The Gaon Vosner Shlita wrote in his sefer that wearing any form of a wig is absolutely prohibited.

Every women that wishes her sons to be Tzaddikim, the Zohar HaKadosh writes, "she must be modest." Women that wear wigs do not have Yirat Shamayim - fear of heaven. The biggest problem is these women think it's allowed and they deny the Tzaddikim's cherem. Those that make fun of women that are modest and cover their hair with kerchiefs, their sin is multifaceted, oy to them.

If a woman wants to cover her hair with kerchief but her husband doesn't allow her, he is considered a wicked man, a sinner that causes others to sin, oy to him. His Torah is invalid and unacceptable. All his deeds are corrupt.

If we don't believe our Poskim and Gaonim that said that wigs are prohibited, who are we going to believe?

Posek HaDor HaGaon Rabbi Shmuel HaLevy Vosner Shlita
What benifit is a kosher Mezuza if the impurity enters the Jewish home?. A wig's origin is from Tachtit Sheol (lowest hell). We are witnesses that we want to be Bnei Torah and simoutaneously enjoy the 'modern' world. The wives wears immodest clothing that comes from the central immodest country - Paris. Women need to cover their hair in the upmost modest way but unfortunately, in many Jewish homes, many Jewish women has turned the Halacha into a performance and Jewish married women do not look religious. They don't even look like they are married women; they look more like actresses from the 'streets'. They don't look like holy women, they look like Paris fashion. ChaZaL says, "שיער באישה ערווה" hair on a woman is forbidden. What a forgery it is to cover hair with hair!! The wig is more sexually stimulating than natural hair. What forgery!!!

Whether women that wear wigs know or do not know that it's forbidden, they are sinners that cause others to sin חוטאים ומחטיאים. They cause their neighborhood and community to transgress a severe Torah prohibition, "ולא תתורו אחרי לבבכם ואחרי עיניכם do not go after your heart and your eyes".

HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Shalom Shvadron, zs'kl
I want to tell you a true story and I wish it was not a true story. 25 years ago a girl came to our house and she spoke to my wife for 4 hours. While I was sitting and learning, I thought to myself that any person that speaks for 4 hours must need a drink. I told my wife, "perhaps give this girl a drink and something to eat?" The girl heard me and said to my wife, "it's not necessary. I'm going home and I'll eat and drink at my home." When she said that I realized this girl is married and has a husband. So why does she look like a girl? You think it's funny??? It's not funny!!! They want to look like unattached women. This 'wanting' is טְרֵפָה unfit, not Kosher!

The Torah says, "ופרע ראש האשה …and let him uncover the head of the woman". A woman that was not faithful to her husband, a Sotah, is disgraced. They disgrace her by removing her hair covering and now, women want to look like a Sotah???!!! A married woman wants to look like a Sotah??? She wants to look like a girl, that she's not married and available? A woman that wears a wig is as if she does not cover her hair! Stupid women! How can a woman like you have fear of Heaven? A woman that wears a wig has no holiness. Who gave women permission to wear hair on top of their hair? To wear a wig that looks better than her own hair and it doesn't even look like a wig! 24 Poskei HaDor of Israel forbid wigs. My grandfather ruled that Divrei Torah or even a blessing is forbidden to say infront of women that wears wigs. The only way Divrei Torah or a blessing can be said in such a situation is with closed eyes.

Women with wigs light the Shabbat candles Friday night and request 'things' from HaShem. OY VEY GEVALD!!!! She is praying to HKB'H? Her prayers are abomination! מסיר אזנו משמוע תורה גם תפילתו תועבה" A person that does not listen to Torah scholars, his prayers are abomination." HaShem will not listen to these prayers. In this black epidemic, rachman litzlan, who knows what Divine punishment is knocking on our door? HaShem have mercy on us.

HaGaon HaTzadik Rabbi Dan Segal Shlita
People come and tell me that they have hard tests but it is not from secular people, the tests are from Charedim. Women attract attention, especially married women. One look, one thought, HaShem protect us, it's a complete destructable fire. It's terrible, terrible! The evil inclination works 24 hours a day. It's horrible they consider it to be a head covering. The whole thing is ludicrous! I personally heard from my teacher and Rebbi, HaGaon Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zs'kl, one of the world's foremost poskim and roshei yeshiva, 50 years ago he said that a woman wearing a wig entering Yerushalayim would be stoned. He said, "50 years ago the wigs looked like straw - even a blind person was able to see that it was a wig. But today, I cannot know if a woman is covering her hair or not." He added, "For me this is very repulsive. It's like someone who eats Kosher meat but makes every effort for the meat not to look Kosher. Women cover their hair and makes every effort to appear as if her hair is not covered."

Who can afford to carry this sin? It is promiscuity.

Many women want to cover their hair modestly but the bigger problem are their husbands - they will not allow it. It's not a simple time - we don't need, c'v, for HKB'H to send us sharper and clearer messages. HaShem is already shaking up the world - it's enough hint. We need to be modest as it says, "כל כבודה בת מלך פנימה "The King's daughter is all glorious within."

The main thing is modesty! Blessings, abundance, success begins with modesty. The Chofetz Chaim, zs'kl, says, "We pray so much, we learn so much, why there are no heavenly blessings? Why there is no livlihood? Why so many are so poor? The Chofetz Chaim says it is because we are not careful with modesty. We pray, learn, and make Brachot next to ערוה nakedness.

Oy, the weakness! What's left for HKB'H? Who remains loyal to HaShem? Very few individuals! Who observes modesty? It's like a father and all his sons betrayed him. Only one remained loyal but soon this son will also betray him and leave him. How much pain??? If we, the religious Jews, do not observe the Torah and its Mitzvot, what is left?

HaRav Uri Sofer Shlita
The Gerrer Rebbe, the Imrei Emet, z'skl, and the Chofetz Chaim announced in the largest gathering in 1918 of Jews and Rabbanim, "How can the heart of a Jew not shake and fear from the punishment of "לא יראה בך ערוות דבר ושב מאחריך He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you."

A few years after this gathering, over 6 million Jews were merciless murdered in the Holocaust War. Women bring the holocaust, c'v, with immodesty to Am Israel.

The Rambam, zs'kl, says there are 24 things that postpone repentance and there are things that cause a person to be judged to remain in Gehenom forever and ever. One of these are "מחטיא את האחרים causing others to sin."

The religious Jews of Am Israel are strict with many Mitzvot such as Kashrut, Matzah on Pesach, sitting in a Succa in Succot, fasting on Yom Kippur -- why are they not careful with modesty which is the core of the Mitzvot? No other Mitzva has so many warnings of punishment as modesty.

A few years ago there was a tremendeous scandal with Indian hair wigs and Jewish women removed their wigs and even burned them and began wearing only modest kerchiefs. We know that nothing is a coincidence and everything is Divine Providence. Why did HKB'H do this? An angel in Shamayim prosecuted Am Israel and it caused Am Israel to go thru a lot of suffering. The angel said to HKB'H "how is it possible that the chosen nation will not give HKB'H their most loved possession? 8 millions Indians sacrifice their hair to a false god and idol, they cut off all their hair to their false god, and the Jewish nation, who are light unto the nations, do not sacrifice their most loved possession for HKB'H?" A women's greatest beauty is her hair. HKB'H commanded women: When you get married, hide your hair because you must distance yourself from strangers. Cover your hair, cover your beauty, so you will be protected, hidden, and modest.

The seculars descended to such low levels because of the religious Jews. They see that we don't observe HaShem's Mitzvot and are not modest. ChaZaL says, "כפי הראש כך הזנב The tail follows the head." If the head is rotten so too the tail.

The key to bring the final redemption is with the women. CHaZaL says, "אין ישראל נגאלים אלא בזכות נשים צדקניות" Am Israel will not be redeem because of men, Rabbanim or Tzaddikim, only thru the merit of holy women. A woman that observes modesty, it is as if she is doing 100s of Mitzvot every second. Every drop of sweat that she sweats because she is dressed modestly, it becomes tal (dew) and this tal will be used for the resurrection.

Women of Am Israel - you must be strict and observe the laws of modesty and it will be in your merit that we will be redeemed speedily in our days, Amen.

HaShem's Elected Gog

2008-10-30T15:54:00.005+02:00

After receiving many emails claiming that I know nothing about US elections, I totally agree. I am totally clueless when it comes to politics and elections and truth is, I couldn't care less about politics and have no interest to vote, except for Moshiach.

"בן בג בג אומר: הפוך בה והפוך בה דכולא בה"
"Ben Bag Bag (zs'kl) says: Delve in the Torah and continue to delve in the Torah for everything is in it; look deeply into it ..." (Pirkei Avos 5:26)

Based on what I learned, I'm very convinced that Bush will stay in power and he is HaShem's elected Gog. To sum it up, there are 3 candidates in the 2008 USA presidential race: Bush, McCain, and Obama. From the following Midrashim and Zohar, which one of the three candidates do you think best fits the description of the Western world ruler at the end days?

Otzar HaMidrash (בית המדרש חלק ג קמ"א)
ויתגאו בני מערב ויבואו ויחזיקו מלכות בלא אפסים
And the Westerners are proud and they will come and hold on to the Kingdom without end

ובימים ההם יקום מלך עז פנים...והוא מחזיק מלכות בחלקלקות
And in the end days a shameless King will rise... and he will hold on to the kingdom by fraud

Prophet Daniel zs'kl 7:25
ויסבר להשניה זמנין ודת ויתיהבון בידה עד עדן ועדנין ופלג עדן
And he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall give into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

Zohar Chadash - Parshat Balak
בלקומאן דלא אתחזי למלכא ייתון ליה למישלט
Someone who was not suitable to rule will be brought to rule.

ובגו שפה רפייא, וממלל רכיך, יעביד כרעותיה ישלוט
With a smooth and soft voice, he will do as he pleases, and he will rule.

וההוא מלכא דהוה שליט בפום רכיך, ישלוט ברגז בגיאו נס ובתוקפא על עמא קדישא
And the same king that ruled with a soft voice, will rule with great rage and wrath and will attack the holy nation (am Israel).

Based on the above and Zohar HaKadosh: President Bush/President Gog, it is my understanding and belief that President Bush is HaShem's elected Gog and thus, he'll remain the President of the United States till Moshiach's arrival.

If it turns out that Bush will not stay in power, which is highly-doubtable, I apologize and take full responsibility for my error of misunderstanding our holy Torah.

Our holy Torah is 100% accurate and truth אמת ויציב!

American Dream Now a Nightmare

2008-10-24T20:30:00.002+02:00

Everyone knows about the American Dream... Mansions with Lincoln Expeditions and SUVs in the four-car garage, right next to the ATVs and jet skis. The dream of children who go to the most elite schools and wear designer clothing. For a lot of Americans, that’s where the dream lies: in large-screen televisions and elite schools, in built-in swimming pools and first-class plane tickets.

Masechet Brachot [3b] says:
A handful cannot satisfy a lion, nor can a pit be filled up with its own earth.

In other words, the American dream has become a nightmare.

The logic reason behind American economy collapse is very simple... Americans spend a lot more than they earn. American are known for living on credit. The daily offerings of credit cards and loans, along with a barrage of advertisements and the media’s push are just part of what has gotten Americans to this point. America doesn’t have enough money to pay for all this spending, so they borrow from foreigners to make up the difference. They keep piling on foreign debt and today owe more than $54 Trillion dollars!!!

The spiritual reason for the American and global economy collapse is because of Nisosot Kedusha sparks of holiness. What are the holy sparks? The AriZal explains that HaShem created the world by forming vessels to hold the Divine Light. This Divine Light was meant to radiate out but as HaShem poured the Light into the vessels, the light was so powerful that the vessels couldn’t contain it and with a huge explosion, they shattered and sparks of this Divine Light became imbedded into the world of matter. These sparks of the Divine were trapped in the material world and it became our task to free the holy sparks.

Until recently, the vast majority of Jews lived in America and the Nisosot Kedusha (spiritual energy) provided America with materialistic abundance and power. So what caused the American and global economy to collapse? The answer is the process of separating and elevating the sparks of holiness in the United States and the world is completing and the holy sparks are restoring to its original source.

In other words, ALIYA! The vast majority of holy sparks are now in Israel. The number of Jews living in America has shrunk to 5.2 million and for the first time in two thousand years, Eretz Israel is home to more Jews than anywhere in the world, approximately 6 million Jews.

History teaches us that this answer applies to all previous magnificent empires such as Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Persia, Babylon, Rome, Egypt, etc. As soon as the Jews left these countries or were expelled, the empires fell apart and collapsed.

The rule is that once an empire collapses, it can never rise again (including America!).

The Midrash says a day will come when people will say, קח את רומי בשקל take Romi for a Shekel and the person will reply לא נחוצה לי I don't need it.

Economic history teach us that when the country's financial institutions collapse and is faced with depression/recession, the only solution is a war. The reason for this is because people look whom to blame and thus, begins a war. As evil as a war is, it is the only solution to resolve the economic collapse. Here are some examples of the relationship between financial collapse and war:

Panic of 1857:
Over 5,000 businesses failed within the first year of the Panic, and unemployment was accompanied in urban areas.
The American Civil War 1861-1865

Panic of 1893:
Stock market and banking collapse.
Spanish-American War 1898.

October 1929: The Great Depression
World War II September 1939 (The end to the Great Depression came about 1941 with America's entry into World War II)

Recession of 1957:
The Vietnam War 1957-1975

October 1987: Black Monday
August 1990 Gulf War and October 2001 War in Afghanistan

2008 - Global Financial Tsunami
The world is facing the last war, aka Gog UMagog.

WAKE UP!!! The American dream is over...
The borders in the United States and the world are still open, choose to join the majority of holy sparks and the Divine Spirit.
Come home to Eretz Israel!

Four Fifths

2008-10-20T05:56:00.004+02:00

Guest post by Reb Aryeh Shlita

We've all heard that during the plague of darkness in Egypt, directly preceding the redemption, at least four-fifths of the Jewish people perished. We have also heard that the final redemption will parallel the redemption from Egypt, thus leading us to conclude that at least four-fifths of our people will Chas V'shalom not make it to see the final redemption.

I have substantial evidence that shows that this will not be the case, and I would like to present it as both hope and a prayer that indeed all of our people merit to see the final redemption, speedily and in our days.

The most obvious and explicit statement of this was made by Rebbe Nachman, zs'kl. He makes it very clear that there was a fundamental difference between the redemption from Egypt and the final redemption. He explains that there was a factor in the Exodus of speed. It was this speed that was what caused the Jews to leave with haste, not leaving time for their dough to rise (see Exodus 12:39). It was also this speed, says Rebbe Nachman, that prevented four-fifths of our people from leaving Egypt. There just wasn't time to wait for the Spiritual slumberers to awaken. Unfortunately they had to pass away. (This could be because the Jews were then teetering on the edge of the 49th level of impurity, and any moment more that they would remain in Egypt would have caused the destruction of the entire Jewish nation, Heaven forbid.)

Rebbe Nachman says that the final redemption WILL NOT HAVE THAT SAME ASPECT. It may be true that the final redemption will happen quickly, but it will not be the required haste as was necessary when the Jews left Egypt. This will ensure that all Jews will be redeemed b'ezras Hashem.

A second source for this which is older, but not as explicit, is a medrash I heard quoted by Rav Kessin. It relays a conversation between Moshiach ben Yosef and Hashem. Moshiach ben Yosef has become aware of the possibility that many of the Jewish people will not make it through to the times of Moshiach. This upsets him greatly and he declares his readiness to do whatever it takes so that they should survive. Hashem responds and says that in order to save them, he will have to descend to the depths of impurity in order to save every last soul, as many of them will be entrenched in evil. He agrees to this, and as he is sent down into the spiritual abyss, Moshiach ben Yosef screams in horror at the depths of the depravity he encounters, but nevertheless does accomplish his goal.

One could explain this medrash that it is speaking on a spiritual level, and that Moshiach is saving these Jewish souls from spiritual destruction. However, when one understands the role of Moshiach ben Yosef, it then becomes apparent what is being spoken of. Moshiach ben Yosef's job is the physical restoration of the Jewish people (similar to his forebear Yosef Hatzadik, zs'kl, who provided physical sustenance to the Jews when they first came down to Egypt). Thus Moshiach ben Yosef's job includes bringing the Jews back to Israel, rebuilding the land, and even building the physical edifice of the third Beis Hamikdash (temple) itself. The role of Moshiach ben Dovid, on the other hand, is to bring the spiritual side into these physical constructs - the spirit back to the people, the holiness back to the land, and the Shechinah back to the Beis Hamikdash.

With this in mind, it becomes clear that when Moshiach ben Yosef is asking to save every last Jew, he is not just speaking about their spiritual existence, but rather, he is speaking about their physical existence as well.

Well, if this is true, you ask, why do we keep hearing that even during the final redemption many of our people will be lost, Heaven forbid?

I think the answer goes back to an argument we find in the Gemara in Rosh Hashana on pages 16b-17a.

The gemara there speaks of the Final Judgment that will take place and says that there are three groups on the Day of Judgment (similar to Rosh Hashana). A group of righteous individuals, wicked individuals, and middle of the road individuals. All agree that the righteous are immediately written and sealed for [Eternal] Life. The wicked are sentenced to Hell.

Here's where it gets interesting. What is with the 'middle of the road' class? So, in regards to Rosh Hashana, the gemara says that their judgment is suspended while they have ten days to do Teshuva (repentance). But in the final judgment, there doesn't seem to be a period of grace.

Beis Shamai says that these people are sent down to Hell [where they are purified], and then they float up. This is based on the verse (Zechariah 13), "And I will bring the third group through fire, and I will purify them as silver is purified [of its impurities], and I will check them as one who checks gold [for impurities]. He will call in My Name, and I will answer him." About this group did Chana say (I Shmuel 2), "Hashem kills and gives life, brings down to the depths [of Hell] and raises."

Doesn't sound too good, does it? Don't be too scared yet, because Beis Hillel argues.

Beis Hillel says that with regards to this group, ורב חסד מטה כלפי חסד - the One who is abundantly kind leans toward Kindness [i.e. Hashem shows kindness to the middle group, and does not send them into Hell.] About them did King David say (Psalms 116), "I love when Hashem hears my voice," as well as the rest of that parsha, including, "I was bereft, and He saved me." (These are the verses from Hallel - אהבתי כי ישמע ה' את קולי... דלותי ולי יהושיע)

It seems to me that Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel are arguing about our four-fifths of the Jewish people, and Beis Shamai says that they will have to do some time in Hell, whereas Beis Hillel says that there will be an overwhelming Kindness that Hashem will show His people.

Amazingly, the gemara there explains the verse דלותי ולי יהושיע, I was bereft, and He saved me - as meaning that despite the fact THAT I WAS BEREFT OF MITZVOS, to You [Hashem] it is beautiful to save me! Is there a clearer description of our four-fifths than that?

But what of Beis Shamai who says that the middle-of-the-road class of people don't make it? The answer is that the halacha is like Beis Hillel until Moshiach comes. Only when Moshiach comes do we go in accordance with the views of Beis Shamai. Since the judgment we are talking about is occurring BEFORE Moshiach, it is clear that this four-fifths of the Jewish people will survive in accordance with Beis Hillel's ruling!

This also explains why the autistic individuals are saying that there will be such mayhem and destruction before Moshiach chas v'shalom - because they are 'living in the world of truth!' In their world, all they see is a world of Din (pure judgment) and thus they see the ruling of Beis Shamai. We, however, who live in a world mixed with Din and Rachamim (mercy) will experience a reality based on the ruling of Beis Hillel - All of our people will survive, bezras Hashem, except for the most wicked individuals.

This leaves us with a small quandary. Based on what I am saying, why should we bother to do Teshuva? In any event Hashem will have mercy on us and redeem all of His people!

The answer is based on something that Rabbi Akiva Tatz writes in his book Living Inspired. While it's true that G-d willing, all of our people will survive, there will be a tremendous level of embarrassment that will be endured, Heaven forbid, when the truth of the spiritual world becomes evident. At that moment of truth, the contrast between Reality and how lives have been led will be most telling. For those who have lived their lives in accordance with the teachings of the Torah, their lives will reflect a harmony that will be exhilarating. For those who did not, however, their will be a tremendous dissonance that will result in a tremendous feeling of shame.

It is for this reason that we must redouble our efforts to do Teshuva, to try our best to constantly bring our lives in line with the dictates of the Torah - the Will of Hashem. We must develop our love of Hashem and our commitment to Him, and we must also pray on behalf of all our brethren who have not been privileged to know the Truth that they too should be drawn toward the light. The more we do this the more we will fulfill that which we say, "למען לא נבוש ולא נכלם" - in order that we not be embarrassed and mortified. The more we live a life of consonance with Truth, the greater will be our ability to fulfill the verse that speaks of the ultimate joy of Moshiach, "אז ימלא שחוק פינו ולשוננו רינה" - then will our mouths be filled with laughter, and our tongues with praise. May it be speedily in our days.

Autistic Message: Why must you die, People of Israel?

2008-10-16T20:38:00.003+02:00

FC with Binyamin 13 Tishrei 5769

"Return, return from your evil ways; why must you die People of Israel." (Yechezkel 33)

We, the autistic people, have been giving messages for almost fifteen years now, we speak and speak and warn you (of the harsh future events) Am Yisrael, pleading that you return to Hakadosh baruch Hu and cease your worshiping of the Golden Calf. Run away from the world of sheker (the lies and vanities of this world); from the world that is built from nothing, devoid of any spiritual essence.

Year after year, Am Yisrael's spiritual level drops lower and lower. Obviously not with everyone, here and there are also elevations. Yet, the majority is dropping. The secular Jews are not part of the topic because most of them barely know or want to know what it means to be a true Jew.

That is why I am turning to the Charedim (Ultra-Orthodox). The Charedim are Hashem's elite, supposedly the closest to Him. They could have saved the Jewish People but year after year the people have only regressed. Year by year, more and more charedim become more like the goyim (gentile nations). Many of them are only 'so-called charedim' without any spiritual substance, without the pnimius (internal reality) of the Torah.

They are sitting and learning full of void. They sit and learn Torah while most of them are thinking only of gashmius matters. They pray, lay tefillin and keep the other mitzvos, but the pnimius is almost nonexistent. In most cases their hearts are empty.

We have been warning Am Yisrael that a day is going to come, the great and terrible day [see Yoel 2, "Blow the shofar in Zion... for the day of Hashem is near, a dark and gloomy day..."], which will bring us to the end (of this materialistic world). Hashem is going to bring the Redemption, but how, depends upon us - and today only very few people are doing proper teshuva.

Unfortunately, most difficult times await us now, may Hashem have mercy. And this is nothing new. We have said similar things many times throughout the numerous years we have been communicating and giving messages. However, there is one new thing and that is that everything we have said would happen has started materializing.

The Golden Calf (materialistic world), this illusionary world based on the evil desires of man is based upon passions and lust and everything that goes against Torah. It is total sheker and now the sheker is finally starting to disintegrate, particularly the financial aspect.

Money is the pure golden Calf. Right now we are rectifying that sin completely. That is why it is all going to tumble, tumble hard ["The son of David will not come until every pocket is left penniless", Sanhedrin 97].

And you can visibly see that this is coming from Heaven. How else could it be that huge and very important governments who have control over the whole world are not able to stop this outrageous crash in the stock market and the banks, etc.?

Slowly, slowly a lot of people are starting to realize that no matter what they do, nothing will help. It will not help a thing. Because now is the time to destroy the Golden Calf and bury it forevermore.

And until every living person realizes that the Golden Calf is lifeless and is nothing but sheker, it will not stop. It will continue and will bring the world to state of total catastrophe [see Rashi Sanhedrin 97]. Perhaps there is a word stronger than catastrophe that can better express what is going to happen but if there is I don't know it.

And that is not all. We are facing a most harsh and difficult war. That war is called Gog Umagog. It is going to be the most frightening experience people have ever gone through [see Yechezkel 38 about the great destruction that will occur].

Beyond that, we are about to witness very great, open miracles, because all the nations will come to fight Israel but Hashem Himself is going to fight our battle [ see Zecharia 14, "And I will gather all the nations to come fight in Jerusalem, etc. and Hashem will come out and fight those nations, etc."] and He does not require an atomic bomb or any other such tool or weapon to do this. He can destroy Edom in a second. He can destroy the whole world in less than a second.

But Am Yisrael, if you don't return to Him, if you don't understand that there is no one else to depend upon aside from Hakaodsh Baruch Hu, if you are not living that belief, there is no chance for survival. One cannot live with sheker in a world of truth. If the Jew does not come to the awareness that "there is no other besides Him" [as we say in the prayer for taking the Torah out of the Holy Aron,] he has no chance of survival, for a world of truth can only accept whatever is connected to truth. No other kind of person can enter a world of truth.

Am Yisrael, every day the end is approaching. Every minute, every second we get closer and closer to the end. It will not be long before the whole world will feel the troubles and the fear. The fear will be so great that only a believer, one who wholly trusts Hashem, can withstand such fear.

Am Yisrael, come back home! Return to the truth. I beg you, I beg you! Sit on the ground, put ashes on your heads and sackcloth around your body and try and remember each and every one of your past sins. Regret them and do teshuva (repent) and feel sorry for ever living a life of sheker.

Weep, Am Yisrael. Weep [also] for the loss of our Holy Temple, the korbanos (sacrifices), and the closeness we had to the shechina (Divine Presence). Weep! I am very worried and fear that you have forgotten how to weep, that you have forgotten how to cry over the real things. You only cry over nonsense. Real nonsense.

Over the past few years, so many Jews have become ill, lo aleinu, may they have a speedy recovery. They suffered terrible illnesses and diseases, far worse than the usual. And they were specifically Torah-observant Jews!

Am Yisrael, return! Return! There is not much time. There is not much time at all. Get rid of all the excess materialism. Whatever happens, Hashem is anyway going to force us to get rid of the excessive gashmius. He will force you to do it, whether you like it or not.

Those who realize that Hashem is the Omnipotent, those who know that He and He alone, sustains us and gives us our food, our home, the comfortable bed we sleep on, the complete healing - everything, only these people will be able to withstand the difficult nissyonos awaiting us.

Hakadosh Baruch Hu is doing very great tikkunim (rectifications). But beyond that, He is trying to teach His people the truth. He is trying to draw us away from the sheker and into the emes. Yet, even with people dying right and left, every day several good Jews are buying buried, but we still pay no attention. We cry a bit and then go right back to our lives of sheker. Oy, Am Yisrael, Am Yisrael!

What I am saying now is not new at all. We have said this time and time again and I am now saying again, return to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Now, now! There is no time, THERE IS NO TIME, and I plead again and say; there is no time, there is no time, there is no time!

B'nos Yisrael, Daughters of Israel, go back to being true daughters of Israel, true women of Israel. The first thing to do is be modest girls and women. The new modern fashions in the charedi world such as wigs, short and tight clothes, transparent stockings, etc., this lack of modesty is loathed in the eyes of Heaven. A Jewish women needs to be home to educate her children to love Hashem and His Torah and to make the home a small Temple (i.e. a holy place for the husband to be able to serve Hashem properly) for her husband.

The men also need to return to Hashem and pray and learn the true Jewish way. They must come close to Him and throw away any connections to the Egel Hazahav - the Golden Calf. To the Torah learning husbands, you should make sure your wives look like true b'nos Yisrael and not look like women of the street. And you, the men, get your minds off of all the vanities and nonsense of this world!

I don't know if one can talk and reach the hearts of most of the orthodox Jews anymore. But I have to keep trying. I fear that many of them do not have living hearts. They have hearts of stone and I wish I were wrong about this. I truly don't see much hope for most of Am Yisrael. Because even with everything that is happening they are still caught up with the sheker.

The majority do not see the truth. Although many people, and not just us, do see that everything in the world is about to fall apart. All of the sheker is going to fall. Those who wholeheartedly throw themselves, as it were, into the hands of Hashem, will survive.

I would like to wish you all a piska tova (good sealing). That, G-d Willing, we will merit understanding the truth and what me must do to be worthy of the truth. May we merit this year all of Am Yisrael greeting Moshiach Tzidkenu.

L'shana Haba'a BiYerushalayim. (Next year in Jerusalem)
