Rachav HaTzaddika, a'h

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!

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.

Secret of Moshiach

On Shabbat Parshat Ki Tavo, Elul 20, my husband dreamt that a young boy, about 4 years old, tells him that the secret of Moshiach is water and milk.

When Sisra escaped and hid in Yael's tent, he ordered Yael, a'h, to bring him water, but instead she gave him milk - מַיִם שָׁאַל חָלָב נָתָנָה

Sisera knew he was going to get killed and he purposely asked for water because he wanted to know...
מַיִם - מתי יבוא משיח - When will Moshiach come?

Yael gave him milk instead of water, thereby answering him:
חָלָב - חייבים לחזור בתשובה - We must repent!

My husband told the little boy that he already knows this chiddush but the little boy wasn't fazed. He told my husband that also little children now know the secret of water and milk and it's written in this week's Parsha. He also revealed to my husband that very soon something very gigantic will happen in the world connected to water...

Spread the Word...

An important article was recently published in MISHPACHA (12 Av 5768)

Rav Shachne Zohn, shlita, is one of the original talmidim of the Chofetz Chaim and one of the most veteran mashgichim of our generation. He is also the person whose recent dream has taken the chareidi public by storm. In a special conversation with Mishpacha, he recounts the details of his dream, explains why it is clear that the dream should be accorded veracity, delineates what every Jew should be doing, and talks about his own preparations for Mashiach's arrival.

“I saw the Chofetz Chaim. He told me that I must spread the word throughout the world that the Geulah is drawing near and that we must prepare for it. Everyone must do Teshuvah for his sins with a broken heart.”

"Is it the journalist?" Rav Shachne Zohn asks, raising his eyes a bit. The Filipino worker who stays with the Rav nods his head. Rav Shachne motions me to sit. "One of the elderly tzaddikim of Jerusalem had a dream that the Geulah [Redemption] is approaching. He's a quiet, modest person who wouldn't have told anyone about his dream. The Chofetz Chaim demanded that he recount his dream, and that is why he has done so," Rav Tzvi Meir Zilberberg mentioned during a shiur he gave two weeks ago.

Rav Tzvi Meir didn't add any details. Rumors spread throughout the chareidi public that the
Chofetz Chaim had appeared in a dream to one of his last remaining talmidim, telling him, "You
should know that Mashiach will arrive before Rosh HaShanah." The next day, the rumors reported, the Chofetz Chaim appeared again and repeated, "Go spread the word that Mashiach will arrive before Rosh HaShanah." Some people attributed the quote to Rav Dov Yaffe, who also mentioned this incident during a talk in his yeshivah. Others quoted Rebbetzin Batsheva Kanievsky, wife of Rav Chaim Kanievsky, who stated that the source of this story is genuine, and it's a mitzvah to publicize it.

The dream, they said, was recounted by Rav Shachne Zohn, a talmid of the Chofetz Chaim and one of the most veteran mashgichim of our time, a former Rosh Yeshivah in Torah Vodaath. According to various estimations, he is over ninety years old, though he refrained from revealing his exact age.

Right at the start of his conversation with Mishpacha, soon after I introduce myself, Rav Shachne Zohn verifies that his venerated Rebbe had indeed appeared to him in a dream. "In a dream, I saw the Chofetz Chaim. He told me that I must spread the word throughout the world that the Geulah is drawing near, and that we must prepare for it. Everyone must do teshuvah for his sins, with a broken heart."

When I try asking him questions, he points to his hearing aid and tells me, "I don't hear so well. Write down your questions and I'll answer them." He motions toward a black Parker pen lying
on the table, and thus begins our interview. All the questions asked in writing; the answers recorded and transcribed for our readers.

They say that during the dream, you were told that Mashiach would come before Rosh HaShanah?
"He didn't say a time," he answers firmly, "Nor did he give me any specific os, sign, for the time immediately preceding his arrival."

So what is meant by the words "the Geulah is near"?
"That it's approaching, and therefore each and every one of us is obligated to do teshuvah for his sins."

Did he tell you which issues one must emphasize when doing teshuvah?
"Everyone knows for what he must do teshuvah. It's not a general issue; it's a personal issue. Each person must know that the Geulah is approaching and he must do teshuvah."

Did the dream include any special message for bnei Torah?
"The dream did not have any specific instructions for bnei Torah. But it's well known; Rav Yisrael Salanter used to say "For bnei Torah, the main teshuvah is strengthening their Torah learning, to learn more, in a better and stronger way."

Was that same dream repeated?
"I dreamt it twice, and it's clear to me that it's a chalom emes, a dream that must be accorded veracity. I have no doubts about it."

In the dream, did the Chofetz Chaim appear the same way you remembered him during his lifetime?
"Yes, yes, and that fact has significance as well. But this is not the time to get into it."

He thinks for a moment. "I'll tell you even more. If I hadn't been commanded to recount this, I would have kept the story to myself. But since I was commanded to publicize it, and the dream occurred twice, and there are other simanim [signs] which the Gemara explains as pointing to a dream's veracity, I deviated from my usual practice, at the instructions of the Chofetz Chaim.

Is this the first time he has appeared to you in a dream?
Rav Shachne's lips are moving, but his voice is inaudible. I make every effort to hear his words, but he waves his hand. I try to repeat the question, but receive no answer. I understand that this question will not be getting an answer. Instead of remaining silent, Rav Zohn is reviewing
his Torah learning.

Do you remember where you saw the Chofetz Chaim in the dream? Was he in his home? In the Radin beis medrash? In the street?
"I saw him clearly."

And where was he?
"I saw the Chofetz Chaim clearly. He was speaking to me clearly, as I remember him speaking when he was alive, and he told me to publicize those words."

There was no answer to my question. (Later, when my tape recorder has been turned off, Rav Shachne Zohn tells me something that explains his refusal to answer. "I am publicizing that
which I was told. As for what I saw, I was not told to publicize that.")

It is known that the Chofetz Chaim had a special set of clothing that he saved for greeting Mashiach. Are you also preparing for his arrival?
"What kind of question is that? We have always been prepared for it."

I am referring to the Rav's personal preparations.
"In the Har Zvi shul in Jerusalem, I established a "Kodshim Kollel," where the avreichim study the laws of korbanos, because the Chofetz Chaim said that our generation is called the "ikvesa d'Meshicha," the generation of Mashiach'ss arrival. That means that we must learn all the inyanim of the Beis HaMikdash."

Geula Levy's Dream

Geula Levy's dream in Jerusalem

I had 3 dreams last week, Motzei Shabbat, Monday, and Wednesday. Right after the dreams, I woke up and wrote them down. In the first dream, Eliyahu HaNavi (zachur latov) appeared. In the second dream, the Baba Sali, zs'kl. In the third dream, Abir Yaakov, Rabbi Yaakov Abuchazera, zs'kl.

They said that it's important to publicize and let everyone know that the Geula is very near. We are the last generation, the generation that the Galut will end. They said that Moshiach will arrive during the process of the 18th Knesset, which will be very short, and Motzei Shmita is 5769, the 769 is gematria equivalent to אליהו התשבי Eliyahu HaTishbi.

Am Israel will need to go thru hardships because many are not doing Teshuva. People that build homes for themselves cannot know what tomorrow will bring. Within a short time, there will be a war with missiles as well as earthquakes and the houses that people build for themselves will disappear as well as its owners.

Only the people that invest their money to build a home for HKB'H and want the Kingdom of HaShem will be rewarded with an eternal home. Just as did Moshe Rabenu, zs'kl, who lived in Pharaoh's palace and had everything he could have ever wish for but he left his palace and was rewarded with an eternal home. Ruth the Moabite, a'h, also lived in a palace and was a princess, the daughter of king Eglon. She willingly left her palace and was rewarded the Kingdom of David and Moshiach. Tzipora, a'h, wife of Moshe Rabenu, also lived in a palace in her father's, Yitro, home. She willingly left her palace and was rewarded with eternal home.

In Egypt, many did not leave because they were afraid to lose their homes. During holocaust Europe, the Jews glued themselves to the lifestyle of the exile because again, they were afraid to lose their homes.

The Jews living in the Diaspora (outside of Israel) are in great danger and must immediately move to Israel.

Raquel's Dream

Raquel's Dream

Three weeks ago, 7 Tamuz, I had a dream about Mashiach, and although I was feeling very excited and happy because I knew Mashiach was coming, yet thruout the dream, I was crying, asking for forgiveness and doing teshuva.

It was the war of Gog UMagog and I was in Boca Raton, Florida. The sky was purple and gray, the shuls were destroyed, the earth was uprooted, houses were gone, everything was destroyed, and there were barely any people around. The area where once were houses, trees, children playing was now only rocks and lots of water.

I remember feeling anxiety and happiness because I knew Mashiach was coming....

I was feeling very thirsty and saw a purple water bottle and as I was about to drink it, someone grabbed it away from me and when she drank it, she instantly died. I realized it was poison and thanked HaShem for saving me.

I saw people starting to come out of their hiding places. The sun was very bright and was very close to earth and people were saying how scientist had said the sun was going to come closer to the earth but in my head I was screaming "No, it's because of Mashiach." Just then these things that look like hot air balloons started coming down towards earth and were picking people up. Unfortunately, people still did not get it and were quoting scientists, saying that these hot air balloons was because of magnetic fields but I knew it was because of Mashiach.

Throughout the entire dream I didn't feel fear, only happiness and I kept thinking "Mashiach is here, Mashiach is here'. Finally, I yelled out loud "Mashiach is coming! This is all part of the last war! Wake up!", and at that same minute, I got transported to a very unique house and inside the house was peace and tranquility.

In the house I saw a Shabbat table and at the head, Mashiach sat with his wife and children. Moshiach looked very young. There were tons of Tzadikim as well and I remember thinking that I knew Deborah Haneviah, a'h, was also there. They are all waiting for something, as if everything that was happening outside didn't affect them.

The last thing I dreamt before waking up was an urgent feeling to go outside to help my mother. When I saw my mother, she said, "I first have to cover my hair" (something that my mom doesn't do yet.)

I woke up startled and cried just thinking about the dream because it felt very real. It scared me to think that I'm going to be in America when it all happens but it made me happy that I saw Mashiach.

Message of the Cows

Ever wonder why a dog barks "arf! arf!" or a large dog barks "roof! roof!"? Or a bird chirps 'tzif tzipf''? Or a sheep says "baaaaa! baaaaa! baaaa!"? And why do cows go "moo"?

Last night in a dream, 26 Tamuz, I saw a large herd of cows loudly 'mooooooing'. Although I thought that it was extremely funny to see a large herd of cows loudly 'mooooing' in the dream, I realized that it's not funny at all and there is a strong message in their mooing. During the dream, a unique thought came to me and it suddenly dawned on me why cows say "mooooo". In Hebrew, Mooooo is spelled מוּ and its gematria is 46. The Roshei Tevot (initial letters of the consecutive words) of Moshiach ben David is MBD - מבד and its gematria is also 46! In the dream, the cows were mooing because they too are excited that Moshiach ben David is coming to redeem us.

The sheep says 'baaaaa!' In Hebrew, baaaaa is בא and it means 'coming' - who is coming? Moshiach ben David.

It says that the animals will be spiritually elevated and stop preying upon each other when Moshiach comes. As the prophet Isaiah, zs'kl, states, "The wolf will lie down with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid goat; the calf, the young lion, and the fattened ox will flock together, and a young child will lead them... The knowledge of G-d will fill the earth as the water covers the sea."

Animals offers us great possibilities in deepening our connections with HKB'H. So next time you hear any animal species barking, chirping, growling, yapping, bellowing, mooing, etc. know that also the animal are all anxiously yearning for Moshiach.

Blind Faith

Guest post by Reb Gershon

Your husband's dream of Moshiach's Ring was incredible. The first part of his dream has a similar tone to my dream last night...

Reb Gershon's Dream
I was walking the streets of Los Angeles when I saw a group of Jewish people running towards my direction in a great hurry. The leader was holding a Shofar in his hands, the man next to him was holding a Sefer Torah in his arms; both were covered in their Tallesim all the way around their heads and shoulders. They couldn't even see where they were going but were running as if their lives were at stake. They were followed by a group of younger men who weren't covered by Tallesim and were able to see just fine but, they were following the leaders, step by step.

I watched in wonder as they ran, dodging traffic and turning street corners as if they were able to see even though they were blindfolded. In the distance of where they were headed I saw an amber glow like fire and then heard machine gun fire. The group came storming back the way they came. I heard Arabic screaming and more firing. The Jewish group past me so I ran with them.

I soon realized if I followed them, the Arabs would chase after me too, but I continued. I came to a street corner where I knew I would be safe if I left the group and hid by myself, but at the last moment I chose to continue with the group. We then suddenly stopped by an alley and the group of Arabs continued the way of the street corner - the one I had at the last minute chosen not to hide at. I was safe because I followed those who believed in the blindfolded leaders guided by their Shofar and Sefer Torah in hand, rather than by going a separate way. Even though I and the rest of the followers could see, we chose to believe with literally 'blind faith' and thus, survived.

Moshiach's Ring

The following intense dream was bestowed on my husband on 18 Tamuz.

It was early morning and we were in our home somewhere in Israel when we heard yelling of panic on the streets. My husband looks out the window and saw people running in all directions, trying to duck missiles and bullets. It was total chaos and without thinking twice, I quickly grabbed some clothing and food and stuffed them into bags. The last thing I grabbed was an ancient small Sefer (holy book). I yelled to the children to hurry and we all quickly ran to the car, trying to escape the war.

In the car I tell my husband to quickly drive to the מדבר יהודה Judean Desert and not to worry about police ticketing us for speeding. In my mind, I knew we needed to get to the Judean Desert for the safety of my family, but at that point, I was not able to tell my husband the reason why and with all the panic, he didn't ask. My husband was trying to maneuver the car in between the people, cars, tanks, and bullets. The city was in total chaos and we saw people running, some hiding on trucks and some getting killed.

Finally, towards late evening, we arrived at Judean Desert safely. We found some run-down motel and my husband went inside to rent a room. We get our bags and follow the owner of the motel to show us our room. When he leaves the room, my husband opens the shade to see where he is going and sees that he is going thru a secret door on the ground floor, leading towards the basement. I ask my husband to close all the shades because I was still feeling very afraid of the war we just witnessed and was paranoid that we were being followed.

No one felt hungry, only very very tired. We decided that we will all go to sleep. At about midnight, I wake up feeling very frightened and I beg my husband that we leave immediately. My husband told me that even if he wanted to, he is too tired to drive but promised that as soon as he wakes up, we will leave right after morning prayers. I couldn't sleep a wink and when my husband finally woke up, he sees me totally awake and my eyes red with fatigue. "Please let's leave right now," I beg him. The kids and I were ready to leave and my husband quickly got up and took some of the bags with him to the car. While he was putting the bags of food and clothing inside the car, he saw that all 4 wheels of the car were punctured. At that moment, he heard me shrieking so loudly, he threw everything and quickly ran to our room.

"What happened, Nava? What's wrong? Did someone try to hurt you or the kids?" Panic-stricken and crying hysterically I answered, "The pouch is gone. The pouch is gone. I left it right here and now it's gone. You must help me find it." My husband was not sure what pouch I'm talking about. "Nava, which pouch, what did it have inside? Where did you put it? Did you check inside the bags?" "I can't tell you what is inside the pouch but if we don't find it immediately, I'd rather die here." This answer frightened my husband and he started sweating. "You must find the pouch," I warned him. "Think -- you are a smart man. Think where the pouch could be. It's a small gold pouch with a zipper on top. You must find it or else I die right now."

Thru the ordeal, my husband remembered seeing the owner of the motel go thru a secret door leading to the basement. He found an iron rod and went to the secret door only to find it tightly locked. With the iron rod, he broke the lock and opened the gate. He went down a few steps and saw the owner of the motel holding my small gold pouch. He told the owner of the motel, "I don't know how the pouch got into your hands, but it belongs to my wife. Give it back right now!" The owner of the motel started arguing with him that it's his pouch and without thinking twice, my husband struck him hard with the iron rod. The owner of the motel instantly died and his blood was splashed all over the walls.

My husband grabbed the pouch out of his dead hand and was anxious to know what's inside the pouch. He unzipped the zipper but although the zipper moved as if it was unzipping, the pouch remained zipped. He tried tearing the pouch and stretched in all corners but the pouch remained in its original size and did not tear. This frustrated my husband terribly. What is inside the pouch and why is his wife hiding it from him? He quickly ran back to our room and asked me, "Is this your pouch?" I couldn't believe that he found it, b'h. I was hysterically crying with relief. I quickly told him that we must leave right now before more danger arrives. He was sweating and his heartbeats could be heard miles away. "I'm not leaving this room till you tell me what is inside the pouch!" I answered that I cannot tell him what's inside the pouch but it's something good and as soon as we get to Yerushalayim, he'll know. But that was a not good enough answer for him. "Nava, I mean it. No one is leaving this room till you tell me what's inside this pouch. The owner of the motel could have stolen our money, jewelry or the car, but he didn't. He chose to steal your secret pouch - I want to know right now, and you are obligated to tell me because I'm your husband - what is inside the pouch!?".

I asked my husband if I tell him, how many questions will he have for me regarding the contents in the pouch. My husband replied that he cannot know the answer to that if he doesn't know what is inside. I told him that I'll open the pouch but he cannot ask more questions than the size of my palm. I unzipped the pouch and showed him the 3 rings. One ring was a large perfect egg-shaped silver stone, the second ring was a large perfect egg-shaped gold stone, and the third ring was a large perfect egg-shaped copperish stone.

My husband asked me what these rings are for and I said, "The gold ring is for Moshiach. The silver ring is for Eliyahu HaNavi (zachur latov). The copperish ring is for Dovid HaMelech (or Moshe Rabenu, a'h)."

At that point I was crying and begged my husband that we leave immediately. "We must go to Yerushalayim RIGHT NOW and give the rings to Moshiach. Without the rings, Moshiach cannot be revealed!"

My husband wanted to know where the precious stones came from and I answered, "They are stones belonging to the אבני חושן (the 12 gemstones of the Choshen that represented the 12 tribes of Israel) and without them, Moshiach cannot be revealed. We must leave immediately to Yerushalayim and give them to Moshiach."

Just then my husband remembered that all the wheels of the cars were punctured. He warned us not to step out of the room and locked the door behind him. He quickly ran to the car to see it he can find 4 spare wheels. Two turns from the motel, he found 4 wheels and quickly changed the wheels of the car. He ran to our room and as he opened the door with the key, he heard a strange voice counting down in Hebrew "10 --- 9 --- 8....". He took the iron rod which never left his side and using his head, pushed the front door of our room wide open, holding the iron rod above his head.

What he saw inside the room frightened him to a point that he wasn't sure what to do. The kids and I were all wet from sweat and shaking like a leaf. A very very tall 'devilish' man was standing above me and the kids. He was so tall that his chest reached the ceiling and the rest of his body was directly above us from the ceiling. My husband was only able to see his back and saw that his head was as big as a watermelon. My husband took the iron rod and struck the 'devil' with it. That second, the 'devil' disappeared. I told my husband that we must make a run for it because the 'devil' will be back in 5 minutes.

Without thinking and panic-stricken, the kids and I jumped out the window, leaving behind the rest of the bags including money, food, and jewelry. My landing was not soft, I landed on thorns and sharp rocks and when I got to the car, I was bleeding and my whole body stung but would not let go of the pouch. Within 2 minutes, my husband accelerated the car to more than 120 mph and was driving like a wildman in order to complete our mision to bring the holy treasure of the rings to Moshiach.

Within 5 minutes, the 'devil' returned trying to block our car from going any further.

That's when my husband woke up...

Needless to say, my husband woke up in a cold sweat and was shaking like a leaf on a windy day. During morning prayers, he remembered that he had the same identical dream less than 6 months ago....

May we all merit to quickly greet Moshiach Tzidkenu during our lifetime, Amen.

End of China

I wasn't planning to post this dream but it seems to me that lately China is in the news almost as much as Israel. So far this year, the world's most populous nation has faced the worst winter snowstorms in 50 years, riots in Lhasa, violent protests about government policies toward Tibet, an earthquake, flooding, and a plague of swarming locusts.

Not long after the earthquake in China on May 13, 2008 killing more than 69,000 people, I dreamed that as part of the redemption process, China will be the first country to be destroyed.

The message of the dream was very perplexing to me - what does China have to do with the redemption process and why China?

To properly analyze it, it is important to know that China in Hebrew is called סין - Sin. Another important factor is in gematria, סין equals 120, same as כסיל fool and wicked.

Is it possible that China will be destroyed because the foolish Chinese are trying to do what man never has: Control the weather. (China) Sin is ambitiously trying to control the weather aiming for a dry Olympics - An event whose very purpose is to push the limits of human beings.

The Talmud teaches that the power over rain is one of the three keys that the Almighty has kept for Himself - the key of Rain, the key of Childbirth, and the key of the Resurrection of the Dead” (Taanit 2A).

Don't the foolish and wicked Sin know that they cannot change the weather? HaShem sent them so many signs to stop their foolishness but they refuse to listen.
Tehillim 92:6, "וּכְסִיל לֹא־יָבִין אֶת־זֹאת A fool doesn't understand this."

* On the very day Chinese weather modification experts were boasting at a news conference about controlling rain during the Olympics, the country's midsection was being pummeled by the worst snow storm in 50 years, which Chinese meteorologists failed to predict.

* When China's leaders boasted they would host a green Olympics, they surely did not envision an entire coastline blanketed with 290,000 tons of great swaths of bright green algae which smells absolutely foul.

* As part of a massive security operation mounted to protect the Beijing Games, China has put an emphasis on security on the eve of the Olympics. But just three weeks before the Olympics open, three explosions were placed on board buses in a southern Chinese city raising terrorism fears.

Sin (China) is ruthless and has forgotten HKB'H. They are determined to control all the variables it can, but Hashem's messengers; the wind, ocean waters, storms, fires, rain, terrorism, etc. are beyond Sin's mastery.

It will be interesting to watch a glimpse of the Almighty's work and see what will happen to China...

Comments via email:
CZ: China is extremely arrogant. They think they can control everything, not just the weather....They have been controlling child birth for YEARS with just one child per family. It's the only nation that dictates to its citizens the sin of spilling sperm in vain. China is the ultimate dictatorship in the world...."Mida Kineged Mida" (measure for measure).

Devash: There was an article awhile back at Shirat Devorah that they chose the date for the Olympics to begin 08.08.08 because of the significance of the number in their culture. Of course, you know the significance of this number according to us.

KM: After I read your last article about Persia and the US, I wondered about China as I do very frequently. Their human rights/animal rights violations, poisoned products and shoddy workmanship are in the news every day. There are few countries that are more barbaric, primitive and cruel to ALL of G-d's creation than China where most it seems are immune to the cry of pain and suffering. What's equally disgusting is the way the world turns it's face away from it and all the injustice inflicted of the helpless unless their is some reward in noticing. I admit I've prayed for Hashem to destroy this hellhole -- to please end this cruelty.

When I read about their mobile execution vans it chilled me to the bone and reminded me of the tactics of the Nazis: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/03/12/1047431092598.html

Lea Cohen, a'h, was more than special, she was a true Tzaddika and she gave her life to help people.

When Leah was young, she toured the world as a fashion model and had it all; money, fame, friends, and power. But throughout her entire life, she had a special gift -- she knew things before they actually occured. She simply saw things; visions would just come to her.

When Leah became a young adult, she realized that she has these visions for a reason and it was for the puropse to help and guide people. Eventually, she did Teshuva and since she was married, she began covering her hair.

For 20 years, Leah saw people night and day at her home in Seagate in Brooklyn, NY. Tousands of people from different backgrounds came seeking her help, including modern, secular, ultra-orthodox, and hasidic. She would listen to their stories and one by one, she helped them all.

My mother was Lea's best friend. One could say I pretty much spent my free time in her house. She and I spent so much time talking and laughing, she was like the aunt I never had.

On Yom Kippur of Tishrei of 2004, Lea Cohen was praying at the Chabad house. During the prayer break, she went missing. Her older son, Chaim, would later relate the following to us:

He was searching for his mother but could not find her anywhere. He looked for her everywhere, in the shul and on the streets but she was not to be found. Finally, he found her standing in front of the Aron Hakodesh with its doors open-- and her face was inside the Aron Kodesh. When he asked her what she was doing she simply answered, "I just told HaShem that if it will speed up the process of Moshiach's coming, I am ready to give up my life."

My friends, less than two weeks later, in the middle of Sukkos, Leah became ill and less than a week later on Simchas Torah, she passed away. She was a healthy woman and didn't have a history of any serious or non-serious illnesses. Just like that, she was gone.

Some time since Leah passed away, I started having dreams where I would see and talk with her. In my dreams, I knew she was no longer alive, yet had the feeling that she didn't really die.

Then the dreams stopped for a long time till finally one night she returned in my dreams. In my dream, I was walking in a shuk (market) in Israel. There were so many different stands where they were selling foods and fruits. As I passed by one of them located in the corner, I thought I saw Lea. I did a double take and I was right, it was her. She looked beautiful, healthy and full of life. She brought me into a small shack behind the stand where she was sitting. We started talking about various topics. In the dream, I realized I was dreaming and I asked her, "Lea, you're already up there, you know a lot more than we do. Please tell me when Moshiach will come." She answered me, "You want to know how to bring Moshiach?" I answered, "Yes". She replied, "If you want to Moshiach to come right away, you have to tell everyone you know to say the pasuk (passage) "Ein Od Milvado" every single day."

That was the end of the dream. When I woke up, I didn't think much about it but realized that the pasuk "Ein Od Milvado" was too random to be just a dream. It can't just be another dream but to avoid looking looking like a fool, I didn't say anything to anyone about it. I kept this dream to myself for about two years. UNTIL NOW.

This is the hard to believe part...

We went to my brother's in-laws for Shabbat and on Friday night after the Shabbos meal, my brother Shmuel, his father-in-law and I were sitting by the table and talking about Moshiach. Somebody mentioned that many Mekubalim in Israel are seriously talking about significant signs which now point to Moshiach's imminent arrival.

Then Shmuel told us a story about his friend who was in Israel a few years ago. His friend was unable to find a Kosher resturant in the part of town that he was in, so he called Shmuel and asked him to look for a kosher restaurant on the internet. Shmuel found one and gave him the address. Once there, his friend saw a sign on the door which read "This restuarant is open under the directive of the Lubavitcher Rebbe." He walked inside the restuarant and spoke with the owner, an older Chossid. The chossid told him an amazing story that happened to him with the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l...

"Years ago, I was in Crown Heights and on the day I was scheduled to return to Israel, I decided to visit 770 Eastern Parkway (headquarters of Chabad Lubavitch). When I walked into 770, it around the time of Mincha (the afternoon prayers). The Lubavitcher Rebbe himself stopped in front of me and said to me, "See me after Mincha in my office."

"I was shocked... I had a plane to catch right after Mincha but at this point, I was not too concerned if I miss my flight. Maybe I'd still be able to see the Rebbe and make it to my flight but if not, so not. After Mincha, I went up to the Rebbe's office and stood by his door. Seeing as how there wasn't anyone around, I was not sure what to do. I felt that it's disrespectful to knock on the Rebbe's door. About five minutes later, Rabbi Groner Shlita, the Rebbe's Seceretary, came by and asked me if he could help me. I told him that the Rebbe had requested that "I see him after Mincha." Rabbi Groner told me that if the Rebbe wanted me to see him, there would be no need to knock on his door, and I should just walk right in.

And so I did. As I entered, I realized that I had walked in on a very soul stirring moment. The Rebbe had his face in his hands. I didn't know what to do - should I leave, should I say something. Remember, this is the Lubavitcher Rebbe we're talking about.

The Rebbe picked his head up out of his hands and looked at me. I could tell that the Rebbe had been crying. Looking at me, the Rebbe started speaking, "There was an "Eis Ratzon"(a time which Heaven is open and many things can be asked for and granted) in Heaven for Moshiach to come. All I had to do was convince the Chassidim to say the pasuk 'Ein Od Milvado'. However, I was unsuccesful."

MY FRIENDS, when I heard these words come out of my brother's mouth, I nearly choked. I could not believe the words I just heard. The very pasuk which Lea Cohen, a'h, instructed me thru a dream to say and to tell others to say were now being repeated by my brother, coming directly from the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'kl.

This could be the one link that unlocks it all.

Tell everyone you know to say Ein Od Milvado. This could be the final straw on the back of galus. PLEASE SAY IT A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY.

If people call you a weirdo, blame it on me. Let's do it and we might be able to bring Moshiach NOW. אין עוד מלבדו

Day of Judgment

During the night of Rosh Chodesh Nisan 30, I was told beautiful and delicious secrets regarding the end of the Galut and the start of the Geula.

In the dream, it was suddenly Rosh HaShana, the Day of Judgment, but in my mind, I couldn't understand how it was suddenly Rosh HaShana because Am Israel did not have the time to spiritually prepare for the Day of Judgment. I was asked how would Am Israel have prepared in advance if we'd have known that it's suddenly the Day of Judgment and I replied, "With prayers, learning, good deeds, Teshuva."

All the following Chidushim were told to me in Shamayim. It's extremely deep and spiritual and I tried my best to transcribe it to be understood clearly ...ברוך שכיוונתי

I was told that the secret of Moshiach's arrival is in the passuk
מה אהבתי תורתך כל היום היא שיחתי What I love Your Torah! It is my meditation all the day.
מה אהבתי תורתך - acronym אמת - TRUTH

Why did Dovid HaMelech, zs'l, begin the passuk begin with the word מה what? The passuk should have began with the word איך how I love...? The answer is that this is how Moshiach will arrive. Those that will survive will not believe that Moshiach has arrived and their first reaction will be, "WHAT, MOSHIACH IS HERE?"

In the word תורתך is secretly hidden the second Bet HaMikdash; in the first and last letter 'תך', gematria 420 - that's how long the second Bet HaMikdash stood. Since the destruction of the second Bet HaMikdash, in the zchut of the Torah given to Am Israel by Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, Am Israel survived the Galut to the Geula.

כל היום היא שיחתי
The Hey Yud Alef is acronym for:
ה - Hillel HaZaken, zs'l
י - Yosef HaTzaddik, zs'l
א - Rabbi Elazar ben Horkenus, zs'l

On the Day of Judgment, people will try to justify in the Heavenly Courty why they did not learn Torah.
One will say, "I was a very busy rich businessman and was occupied with livlihood." The Bet Din will reply, "Were you richer than Rabbi Elazar ben Horkenus?"
Another will say that he was very poor and the Heavenly Court will say, "Were you poorer than Hillel HaZaken?".
Another will claim that the reason he did not learn Torah is because HaShem made him very handsome and attractive and therefore, he was unable to overcome the evil inclination. The Heavenly Court will say, "Were you more handsome than Yosef HaTzaddik?".

No one will be able to justify oneself and this is the reason Dovid HaMelech said that if a person begins with מה אהבתי תורתך, he will not have to explain on the Day of Judgement כל היום היא

I was told the Day of Judgment will very soon suddenly arrive, without prior warning. Each person will be individually judged and on the FINAL Day of Judgment, many can survive if they begin immediately preparing for Rosh HaShana, the Day of Judgment...

שיחתי
The Shin and Taf שת in Gematria is 700 and multiplied by 10, it's 7,000. In the year 7,000 the world as we know it will no longer exist. By the year 7,000, the world will be עולם הרוחני - spiritual world.

מי יתן לי אבר כיונה אעופה
Now is the time to go live in Eretz Israel. As Avraham Avinu, zs'l, said "It's better to live in the deserts of Erets Israel than sleep in the palaces outside Eretz Israel."

קומי אורי כי בא אורך וכבוד ה' עליך זרח Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of HaShem is risen upon thee.

In Perek Shira, the Shemesh (sun) says, קומי אורי כי בא אורך וכבוד ה' עליך זרח
The geula is connected to Shirat Devorah, the Birkat HaChama (Blessing on the Sun), and Moshiach's arrival ... וְאֹהֲבָיו כְּצֵאת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ

The end of the world is depended on the maximum level of the falling of the Divine Spirit. When the Divine Spirit can no longer fall because it's at its lowest level, she'll be immediately raised completely.

HKB'H is NOW telling the Sh'china (Divine Spirit) to קומי אורי Arise, shine because she has reached the lowest level.

Devorah HaNevia, a'h, is the light of Moshiach (אורי and דבורה are both 217 in Gematria).

בשעה שמלך המשיח נגלה בא ועומד על הגג של בית המקדש והוא משמיע להם לישראל ואומר להם ענוים הגיע זמן גאולתכם ואם אין אתם מאמינים ראו (באורו) [באורי] שזרח עליכם שנאמר קומי אורי כי בא אורך וכבוד ה' עליך זרח

ברוך ה' לעולם אמן ואמן

Secret of "Blessings"

Thurdsday night, my husband was teaching me the secrets of saying Brachot (blessings) over food from the sefer Chesed L’Avraham (Maayan 2, Nahar 41) written by the Kadosh Tzaddik Rav Avraham Azulai, zs'l.

Kadosh Elyon Rav Avraham Azulai says that the person's neshama (soul) acts as a ladder and it ascends blessings over food from the lower world to the upper worlds and in the same way, it becomes a ladder to lower the blessings from the upper worlds to the person in the lower world. Any time that brachot are said in the lower world, it becomes a basis to receive blessings from the upper worlds.

Neshamot come from the 4 worlds: Olam Olam Ha'Beriah, the World of Creation; Olam Ha'Atzilut, the World of Divine Emanation, Olam Yetzirah, the World of Formation, and from Olam Asiya, the World of Action. No matter which world the person's neshama comes from, when brachot over food are said, the neshama becomes a ladder to ascend the blessings to the upper world and in turn, influences the person to receive blessings from the upper Olam to the physical body. Only from the Olam Ha'Atzilut, blessings on the person returns from a different source and from there to Olam Haba.

After learning this beautiful chidush (renewal), I had a dream that same night, 28 Adar II. In the dream, I was asking from His Majesty to forgive me for not saying blessings over food and drinks from the time I was born. (In reality, I learned to say Brachot about 15 years ago). Additionally, I asked for forgiveness for mixing up blessings. (for example, saying Ha'Etz on strawberries when the actual bracha is Adama or saying the blessings of Hadama on Avocado when the Bracha is really Boreh Pri He'Etz).

I was told that in the Zchut of Shabbat Kodesh, I'm forgiven. I didn't understand the connection and asked if this can be explained to me. In Shamayim, I was told that when a person prepares extra special food for Shabbat, which includes shopping, cooking, chopping, dicing, washing dishes, even the slightest action done Lichvod Shabbat, this act forgives the person's error for not saying Brachot or mixing it up.

I was amazed that Shabbat is so powerful and in the z'chut of taking pains to prepare for Shabbat, I was forgiven.

After the dream, it gave a whole new meaning to the passuk:
מי שטרח בערב שבת, יאכל בשבת; מי שלא טרח בערב שבת, מהיכן יאכל בשבת
He who prepares on the eve of Shabbat will have food to eat on Shabbat; He that did not labor on the eve of the Shabbat what shall he eat on Shabbat?

This world is like the eve of Shabbat, and the Olam Haba is compared to the Shabbat.

Sha'at Ratzon: Time of Will/Desire

This is unbelievable - we're quivering with excitement...

My husband "bumped" into a Tzaddik nistar (hidden righteous man) today. My husband met this Tzaddik nistar very few times in the past 5 year in a shul. My husband doesn't know his address or how to find him. Sometimes he searches for him for months and cannot find him... Whenever something "urgent" comes up, my husband miracuously bumps into him.

My husband almost fainted when he saw the Tzaddik Nistar unexpectedly today and told the Tzaddik about yesterday's dream, 3 Adar II, 5768: עצרת in Shamayim. He asked the Tzaddik Nistar to please shed some light about this very powerful dream.

The Tzaddik told him, without a moment's hesitation, the following:
The neshamot and Malachim were rushing towards a special Heichal in Shamayim to welcome the 8 neshamot of the boys who died Al Kiddush HaShem in Yeshiva Mercaz Harav. There were tremendeous terrible harsh decrees on Am Israel and their death became the defense against prosecution of Am Israel. Their death attoned and was kapara for Am Israel. They died as holy Tzaddikim and these are the reasons why the Olamot in Shamayim were so excited to welcome them.

The reason my husband was told by the Malach to light the wicks with olive oil at exactly 8 pm is keneged (in exchange for) the 8 boys that were killed by the terrorists. And, at 8:00 o'clock pm Eastern Time was Sha'at Ratzon, Hour of Will.

The Tzaddik asked my husband if we asked or said anything during the one minute at 8 pm. My husband answered that all of us, without planning it, simoutaneously said at that minute, "Moshiach, come right now." The Tzaddik started crying from so much excitement and his face turned totally red from the emotions. He was shuttering with excitement and said that at that exact moment, HaShem gave Moshiach his clothing and Moshiach's arrival is very very close. Moshiach is dressed, ready at a second's notice to be revealed.

The Tzaddik explained that at 8 pm was Shaat Ratzon and the reason Moshiach didn't come the following morning is because the wicked people who at that same moment sinned, created screens from the sins. This can cause a little delay, but definitely and without a doubt, Moshiach received his clothing. Since it was Shaat Ratzon, HaShem prepared Moshiach Tzikenu and gave the Moshiach his clothing. (This is exactly what the guy with Down Syndrome told my husband in shul this Shabbat - "This week Moshiach is getting dressed."

The Tzaddik asked my husband if any of us asked for a materialistic bakasha and b'h, none of us did. My husband told him that while I was lighting the candles, he asked le'iluy nishmat his father, zs'l, and all the neshamot that have no one to say Kaddish for them will immediately be able to ascent into Gan Eden. The Tzaddik told him that this bakasha was completely fulfilled and there is no need to worry!!!

The Tzaddik told my husband that if he would have asked that minute for a million dollar, he would have received in the following day without any delay. He also told my husband that if at that moment I'd have prayed for a specific barren couple to be able to conceive, this too would have been fulfilled.

My husband asked him how is it the candles are still lit after 12 hours. The Tzaddik asked how many wicks I lit and worriedly prayed, "Please HaShem, not under 4, please not under 4." My husband said exactly 4 as per the Malach's instructions. The Tzaddik was so relieved and said that the reason 4 wicks are needed to be lit is because it corresponds to the four worlds, Asiya, Yetzira, Beriya, and Atzilut. In order for Shaat Ratzon to be fullfilled, minimum 4 wicks need to be lit!

The Tzaddik told my husband that the reason the wicks are still lit are because it's Shaat Ratzon and by lighting the 4 wicks in the lower world, it connects to the higher worlds and the pipes of abundance from Shamayim give the candles in the lower world the power to continue to stay lit. He begged my husband to tell him exactly what time the 4 wicks shut off because every minute and every hour is divided into spiritual Divine energy of the Sefirot and it's very important for him to know this calculations. In fact he told my husband that the time is so vital, he must urgently tell him as soon as he has an answer.

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

It's a Miracle!

Continuation of my husband's dream 3 Adar II, 5768: עצרת in Shamayim

It's unbelievable!!! Last night at exactly 8 pm, as per the Malach's instructions, I lit 4 Shabbat wicks and now, at 8:18 am, they are still lit - usually, the maximum time the wicks stay lit is 5 hours at the most and that's stretching it... But to stay lit over 12 hours, that's a miracle.

And the oil in the glass vial are still half full.... It's a miracle!

3 Adar II, 5768: עצרת in Shamayim

This Shabbat in shul, Parshat Pekudei, a person that has Down Syndrome walked over to my husband and told him, "This week Moshiach is getting dressed."

Today while my husband was taking a short nap late afternoon, he saw in Shamayim thousands of neshamot and Malachim dressed in white and were running, running, running very quickly, as if in a panic. Everyone was dressed only in white. My husband asked the neshamot and the Malachim, "Where are you all running?" but no one stopped to answer, they were in a great rush.

It was like 2 minutes before Shabbat when everyone is rushing for last minute preparations.

One of the Malachim slowed down and quickly said to my husband, "The Chag/עצרת in Shamayim begins at 8:00 pm. Tell Nava at EXACTLY 8:00 p.m. your time, to light 4 wicks of the Shabbat menorah with pure olive oil. You and the children should stand by her side while she is lighting and stay standing for one minute after the wicks are lit."

Then my husband saw more and more neshamot and Malachim running in panic, all towards one direction. The malachim were carrying things that my husband did not recognize and were flying. Without knowing his dream, I woke up my husband at exactly 7:51 pm.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting to note that on 3 of Adar, Ezra HaSofer, zs'l, returned to the Land of Israel from Babylonia.

The dedication of the second Beit HaMikdash which was built by Ezra HaSofer, zs'l, on the site of the 1st Temple in Jerusalem was celebrated on the 3rd of Adar of 515 BCE, after four years of work.

On Gimmel Adar, it is very beneficial one who prays today, "to do a thing in it's proper time," and pray the prayer composed by the author of the "Chayei Adam," Rabbi Avraham Danzig, zt"kl.

One who lives in Israel, it is beneficial to pray Tefilla Zaka at the Kotel HaMaarivi

Confusions מבולבלים

On Thursday night, 2 Adar II, I was told in a dream how confused we are. I asked the Malach permission to write on the blog about this generation's confusion but permission was denied. (The conversation was in Hebrew and I was very surprised that Shamayim recognized the world 'blog'). Not only was permission not granted to write it on the blog, this part of the dream was erased from my memory...

During the dream, I was so upset that we are so confused even though we try so hard to seek the truth and was hysterically crying, "אנחנו כל כך מבולבלים", we are so confused. I kept repeating the word בילבול confusion.

Everything we say in this world has a tremendeous meaning in Shamayim.

The Malach told me that even the word בילבול (confusion), we don't know where it stems from. The Malach explained that the word בילבול (confusion) derives from the 2 generations: the דור *המבול (the generation of the Great Flood) and דור הפלגה (The generation of the Atheists). HaShem caused the דור הפלגה's languages to be *בלים, they started communicating in a plethora of different languages and therefore, were unable to understand one another. *מבול - בלים

The generation of the great flood and the generation of the atheists בילבלו did much 'confusions'.
The Generation of the Flood died because of purveyors of lewdness, and the Generation of the Tower of Babel died because of atheisism.

I was then shown a 'clip' during the time of דור הפלגה - about a 10 minutes 'clip' of how they tried to build a great tower of Bavel, 'Migdal Bavel' to fight HKB'H and HaShem made them confused... I was laughing so hard during this 'clip'. It was hysterical to watch how no one understood each other and when one said to another, "hand me the brick", suddenly this man turned into a cat and another into a monkey...

The message of the dream is to be very careful with words spoken. Each word, especially Hebrew, has tremendeous impact in Shamayim.

Angels in the Bet HaMikdash

In my husband's dream of Friday night, 18-19 Shvat, he saw him and I sitting on a mountain, under a gated wall that had a big opening. Across from us, we were watching the Bet HaMikdash and how the Kohanim and Leviim were serving HKB'H.

He saw Malachim (angles) inside and all around the Bet HaMikdash. What was very fascinating to watch was when the Kohanim brought Korbanot (animal sacrifices) to HKB'H, he saw Malachim (angels) inhaling all the smoke from the Korban so that the smoke will not be bothersome to the eyes of the Kohanim. Some smoke of the Korbanot was not allowed for the Malachim to inhale so instead, a Malach would blow the smoke to go upwards or sideways and in this way, they were protecting the Kohanim from the smoke entering their eyes...

My husband said that it was a strange and beautiful sight, to be able to see how Malachim also serve in the Bet HaMikdash. In another instance, he saw Malachim helping the Kohanim lift heavy things, as well as helping them raise their arms and lower them while their were doing Avodat HaShem.

Seuda for Devorah HaNevia Protects Am Israel

On 13 Shevat (Jan. 20), the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l, appeared to my husband in a dream and asked him, "How was the Seuda in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h ?"

My husband replied, "Very special. The atmosphere was extremely holy and the achdut (united) was very strongly felt".

As soon as my husband told the Rebbe there was achdut, a tremendeous bright shine blasted all around the Rebbe.

The Rebbe then asked my husband, "Why didn't she (Nava) come to tell me about the good news that happened during the Seudat Mitzvah in honor of Devorah HaNevia?"

(In reality, a week before the Seudat Mitzvah, I went to the Ohel and invited the Lubavitch Rebbe).

The Rebbe continued and said, "She used to come to the Ohel and always told me good news as well as what might be troubling her, why didn't she come to me yet to tell me how the Seudat Mitzvah was?. She told me she'll tell me good news and I also asked her to tell me Bsorot Tovot".

At that point, my husband began to cry...

The Rebbe continued and said, "Tell her to come to the Ohel and tell me all the good things that occurred at the Seuda. Tell her to say it, she should verbalize it with the mouth. There are many terrible decrees hovering Am Israel and when she will verbalize all the good things that happened during the Seudat Mitzvah in honor of Devorah HaNevia (a'h), it will act as defense for Am Israel and it has the power to annul the decrees".

------------------------------------------------------
As soon as my husband told me the message from the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'kl, I took papers and pen and started writing all the good points that occurred before, during, and after the Seudat Mitzvah in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h. (B"H, I'm going to the Ohel very soon). B'H, I filled up 4 pages of hand-written good things that happened and I'll share some here, to give our Heavenly Father nachat:

* Many donated their money to be part of the Seuda.
* In the zchut of the Seuda, there was tremendeous unity and people who fought made peace and forgave one another, b'h. Even the children were very peaceful and all were eating and playing together and not one child fought with another!
* The Rav publicly humbled himself by apologizing to Devorah HaNevia, a'h, for not wanting to make the seuda.
* There was tremendeous Kiddush HaShem (we hired 3 non-Jews waitresses and insisted they sit and eat with us during the Seuda. They later told my husband that they were sure that all the guests was one big family and when we'll make another 'meal', he should only call them to serve).
* The number of the usual congregation was tripled and the prayer was extra spiritual. There was hardly any talking during the prayers.
* All the children were praying.
* There was Birkat HaCohanim.
* All the food that was prepared, I said on each one, Lichvod Shabbat and Seudat Mitzvah.
* The food was plentiful and we all merited to do tikkunim for neshamot thru the food.
* Many walked long distance to join the Seuda.
* During the Seuda, there were Divrei Kdesha said and Zmirot were sang.
* One of the guests collected all the leftover challas after the Sedua. The following day, we took our children and the neighbor's children to the beach to give the birds, fish, and ducks the leftover challas.

The above is just a partial list out of 4 pages...

With tremendeous Hashgacha Pratit (Divine intervention) Reb Eli sent this morning a link of the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l, speaking about Devorah HaNevia from 10 Shevat 5732 · January 26, 1972:

Protector of Her People
At the time of the Song of Moses, the Jews were in the midst of a great journey through an awesome desert. They had yet to reach, conquer and establish a Jewish homeland. By contrast, at the time of the Song of Deborah, the Jews were already settled in the Land of Israel. Deborah was called upon to organize a campaign against Canaanite invaders. (7:08)

Who would have thought that Seudat Mitzvah in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h has the capability to annul decrees? Chasdei HaShem.

If Seudat Mitzvah in honor of Devorah HaNevia has the power to annul harsh decrees hovering Am Israel, imagine what building the Tzion for Devorah HaNevia can do...

HaShem's Treasures

In the dream of Tevet 2-3, I was in Shamayim, in an ultra holy Heichal and was physically shaking with fear. I was speaking with the Sh'china (Divine Spirit) and said to HKB'H that in order to build the Tzion in honor of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, we need money,
"הקב"ה, תשלח מאוצרך הטוב. אני מבקשת את זה רק לשם שמיים"
"HKB'H, send from Your good treasure. I am only asking this for the Sake of Heaven".

In reality, I have no interest in money. It's not anything I accomplished thru internal work, I just never had any interest in money. When I was a young girl, we lived in Israel and one day, my mother gave me coins (lirot) to buy myself ice cream. When I reached the store, it was closed (in Israel, stores close during the afternoon for 2 hours). I didn't feel like waiting for the store owner, so I threw the money on the street and went to the park. When I returned home, I got spanked for dumping the coins... But it didn't effect me and I continued disliking money.
When I became an adult, my parents gave me a large amount of money (over 6 digits) and I gave it all away, keeping for myself less than $2,000.

This is the reason I was so shocked when I asked HKB"H to send from His good treasure, money. Everyday, I beg HKB'H to allow us to build the Tzion for Devorah HaNevia but I never thought to ask for money. Maybe Shamayim wanted me to verbally ask from HKB'H to send money from His good treasure...

About half an hour later, I was again in Shamayim and was begging to be allowed to see how the Tzion will look when it's built. I begged about 8-9 times, "כבודם, Please show it me. I want to see it so much...", finally, b'h, my wish was fulfilled.

My soul was elevated into un upper Heichal, and I saw it. There was so much spiritual light around it. During the dream, I physically raised my hands to cover my eyes because the spiritual light was too powerful to look at. I asked if a curtain מסך can be placed between my eyes and the Tzion so I'll be able to see it because its holiness shine was too powerful for me to look at it directly.
