Last week, one of the biggest tzaddik nistarim in Israel was asked what could be done, to get this horrible war to stop.

He said that there was nothing that could be done, because (I’m paraphrasing here) ‘the other side’ had already made sure to tie the hands of the ‘One in a Generation’ who could actually ‘sweeten’ the global harsh decrees that are made against the Jewish people.

These days, that person can’t so much as even mention the word ‘pidyon’, or they will get sent straight back to jail.

And they certainly can’t put out any statements explaining what a ‘global pidyon’ actually is, or how it’s going to help to change the whole, horrible, picture around here, in the Holy Land.

==

So, what’s to be done?

While I was pondering all this, I got word that the Rav has been taken ill with pneumonia, and is currently very weak…

This has happened so many times in the past, including even recently.

And the timing is always meaningful, and always coincides with another big ‘uptick’ in the dinim hanging over the Jews…. Which then have a habit of melting away, like they never existed in the first place.

Halavai, this should happen this time around.

==

But in the meantime, I started going through OIAG 2, to find some more examples of when the Rav took ill exactly the same time as there were massive ‘wars’, or waves of terrorism, about to erupt involving Eretz Yisrael and the Jewish people.

(There have been literally tens of examples, in recent years.)

And that’s when I tripped across these passages, talking about the ‘98 global pidyon’.

==

OIAG 2 was first published back in 2019 – four years ago.

And these statements from the Rav were actually made back in 2015 – eight years ago.

But, they are still so relevant for right now.

==

I know all this is a bit cryptic.

All I can say, is that ‘the evils’ planned this whole thing meticulously, to literally take the Rav out of action, outlaw pidyonot, and stick him in prison, the same week ‘Covid’ turned up in Israel….

I.e. – precisely the time when the pidyonot would be most required.

==

I am now looking for more of what the Rav said back in 2015 about the ‘98 pidyon’, but what follows all comes from OIAG 2, beginning on page 234, in the chapter called THE THIRD INTIFADA BEGINS.

It starts with when the Rav’s heart literally stopped for many minutes in Holland, and he almost died, God forbid.

It’s truly prophetic – and is describing exactly what we’ve been going through here in Eretz Yisrael, since October 7th, 2023:

====

[The excerpt from OIAG 2 starts here]

On the January 7, 2015, less than a week after the Rav was hospitalized and fitted with a pacemaker, Muslim terrorism hit the French capital, Paris, in a dramatic way.

First, armed Muslim gunmen forced their way into the offices of a French satirical periodical called Charlie Hebdo and started firing. They killed 12 people and injured another 11, before being tracked down by French police and killed in a gun battle.

At the same time the Charlie Hebdo massacre was occurring, another armed Muslim terrorist broke into a kosher supermarket called Hypercacher in the Île-de-France region, where five Jews were murdered in cold blood and another 11 were wounded.

The twin terror attacks on the French capital shocked the world, and signaled the beginning of a new, and increasingly violent, chapter in Muslim terrorism.

==

A couple of weeks later, on Rosh Chodesh Shvat 5775 (January 21, 2015), the Rav delivered the following rousing call to his followers, and to the nation of Israel:

“Now, we’re in a war. This is a new intifada. In Paris, they murdered five Jews. In Holland, they also tried to kill a couple of Jews. They closed all the schools, and they closed all the offices. The children are scared to go to school now, because of what happened in Toulouse[1]. Am Yisrael, we’re in more danger now than ever before. This is a terrible intifada that is spreading throughout the whole globe, the whole world.

“Yesterday, they stabbed 12 innocent, sinless Jews on a bus[2], and no one even paid any attention; no one was even shocked by it. No one is talking about this, but we need to publicize this. The whole world is applauding each Jew that is murdered and killed.

==

It’s impossible to sweeten the harsh judgments over the people of Israel, except by jumping into the fire [i.e. acting with mesirus Nefesh].

Only if we jump into the fire will we be able to sweeten all the judgments, so that there won’t be any more judgments against Am Yisrael. 

Every man is obligated to guard his eyes! This is true mesirus Nefesh! If people would guard their eyes, it would sweeten all of the harsh decrees.

All the bad decrees are due to a lack of guarding the eyes. Each time an eye is opened [to see forbidden things], a Jew is killed. Each time an eye is opened, a Jew is stabbed.

==

If someone would see how many demons and spirits [there are in every square meter of the world], even a little, then immediately his soul would leave him.

Therefore, Hashem gave us the ability not to see. And now is the time when all of the demons and spirits are coming out of the bottle and are bursting forth.

All of the terrorists are demons and spirits. All of Hamas and all of AlQaida and all of ISIS, they are demons and spirits.

==

[When a person is reciting the Shema,] he needs to have the proper intention, he needs to have proper attention when saying Hashem Aechad [God is one]. AecHaD also stand for: Al-Qaida, Hamas and Da-ash (the Arabic name for ISIS).

A person needs to have the correct intention that Hashem Aechad, God is One. If a person has the intention that God is One, then he will excise all of Al-Qaida, all of Hamas, and all of Da-ash (ISIS), [those] who decapitate others, and kill children and babies.

==

“This whole intifada is being encouraged by the nations of the world.

The whole world is egging on this intifada, all of the nations, and all of them are sorry that Hitler (may his name be erased) didn’t finish the job.

Now, they’re relying on the Arabs [to finish the job] 

All the nations of the world long for Jewish blood Now, there’s an intifada like there hasn’t been since the beginning of the world. Twelve innocent people got stabbed on a bus, and the [nations of the world] don’t flinch. The world didn’t shake, and the world didn’t even pay it any attention.

==

They only pay attention if a shot is fired in Gaza [in self defense], then the whole world is shaken up.

They fired a bullet in Gaza!? How could they do such a terrible thing!? Who did this terrible crime?! Judge him in The Hague, judge him in Brussels!

So, we have arrived at the end of days. This is the prophecy of the end of days. This is why Yaakov was scared to reveal the prophecy of what would happen at the end of days.

==

On Erev Sukkos 5776 (September 27, 2015), the Rav wrote an unusual prayer about the so-called “blood-red moon” that was seen in the skies above Jerusalem on the first night of Sukkos. The Rav wrote: “About this [the blood moon] the Zohar wrote in parsahas Shelach 162 that ‘the moon will turn to blood.

Immediately after the blood-red moon appeared, the third intifada began, with the cold-blooded murder of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Henkin on October 1, 2015, who were shot to death by Palestinian terrorists in front of their four children as they were driving in the Shomron hills.

Just a few days later, on October 3, 2015, the holy martyrs Aharon Bennett and Rav Nechemia Lavi were also murdered in cold blood in front of their children, in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem….

==

A little before Purim 5755, Rav Berland issued a call for every member of Am Yisrael to contribute a sum of money, however small, toward a communal “pidyon hakollel” that would sweeten the harsh decrees of the so-called Third Intifada that the Rav could see looming on the horizon.

The goal was to raise $600,000 a dollar for each of the root souls of the nation of Israel and to sweeten the judgments that way.

==

At that time, he sent out a message saying:

“We are in a new intifada, and it’s a terrible intifada that will spread around the globe. It’s impossible to stop it [by natural means].”

Unfortunately, even though the request to participate in the “pidyon hakollel” was repeated many times, with announcements appearing in many of the Breslov yeshivos encouraging people to donate, and many people took the Rav’s plea to heart, most of these people were not wealthy, and barely a sixth of the total required was raised.

==

Then the Festival of Sukkos 5776 arrived, and with it came the beginning of the prophesized upswing in Arab violence.

When the shootings, stabbings and other attacks began in earnest in Eretz Yisrael, everyone saw that the prophecy of the Rav had indeed materialized. The Third Intifada, foreseen by the Rav and which he’d hoped to avoid and sweeten, had begun.

At this time, the Rav publicized an important message that whoever would donate 98 shekels a month for a pidyon would be saved, in that merit, along with his whole family, from the terrorist attacks.

==

The Rav promised this himself, in the following words where he said:

As long as the intifada continues, everyone is obligated to give, every Jew in every place of the world. Even non-Jews should give 98 shekels which is $26, or €25, every month, for as long as this continues.*

In every place in the world there are terror attacks. Whoever wants to be saved from this new intifada that is spreading over the entire globe, needs to give.

Everyone who gives the pidyon will be saved from all attacks, and from all stumbling blocks, and from all types of sin.”

==

All of this comes directly from the pages of OIAG2, written 4-5 years ago, describing comments the Rav made eight years ago.

The bit to pay attention to is this:

At this time, the Rav publicized an important message that whoever would donate 98 shekels* a month for a pidyon would be saved, in that merit, along with his whole family, from the terrorist attacks.

The Rav promised this himself, in the following words where he said:

As long as the intifada continues, everyone is obligated to give, every Jew in every place of the world. Even non-Jews should give 98 shekels which is $26, or €25, every month, for as long as this continues.

In every place in the world there are terror attacks. Whoever wants to be saved from this new intifada that is spreading over the entire globe, needs to give.

Everyone who gives the pidyon will be saved from all attacks, and from all stumbling blocks, and from all types of sin.”

==

*The 98 shekels ($26, €25) was later changed by the Rav, as the killings increased to 98 shekels for those living in Israel, 98 USD for those living in US, and 98 euro for everyone else. And it should be done for each member of the household on a monthly recurring basis.

Ad kan, from OIAG 2, published back in 2019.

==

There are no ‘promises’ today, let’s be 100% clear.

The Rav was sent to prison for two years because the State claimed he was promising stuff he couldn’t deliver.

This whole deal is emunat tzaddikim.

If you don’t have emunat tzaddikim – move on, don’t donate, and don’t participate in trying to get this ‘pidyon kollel’ raised to bring this horrible war to an end here in Israel.

Go find some other solution, some other response, that ticks your box more.

==

But in the meantime, let me bring a few more snippets from that same OIAG2 – published four years ago:

==

WHY PIDYON NEFESH WORKS TO REMOVE HARSH JUDGMENTSBOX OUT

The language that Chazal use to describe “money” is damim, which literally means “blood” or “bloods” in Hebrew. When there are harsh decrees hanging over Am Yisrael, they can only be sweetened by immense amounts of mesirus nefesh, or self-sacrifice from the Jewish people, which often entails the spilling of blood.

But there is another way of sweetening the decrees.  

Instead of spilling real blood, God forbid, it’s also possible to fulfill the requirement to spill blood by the self-sacrifice required in giving money, or damim.

If you give whatever amount you’re able to give, with mesirus nefesh, then you fulfill the verse that states, “Charity saves from death[3].”

==

A pidyon nefesh where each person gives a fixed amount is called pidyon hakollel, or communal redemption.

And this sweetens all of the judgments that are currently hanging over the nation of Israel, which means we won’t see any more blood spilled in our country.

==

As the toll from the terrible stabbings, murders and other terrorist attacks in Israel continued to mount, shortly before the Fast of Esther 5776 (March 22, 2016), Rav Berland issued a call for at least 10,000 people to come together at Me’aras Hamachpelah in Chevron.

Rav Berland promised that if a minimum of 10,000 participants would go to Chevron on the forthcoming Fast of Esther to pray, the attacks would stop.

==

A little over 10,000 people — including some of the nation’s leading Rabbis — heeded the call and went to Chevron for the prayer gathering.

After the crowd had finished reading through the entire book of Tehillim, Rav Berland was contacted to speak to the gathering on a phone that was attached to a number of loudspeakers.

Over 10,000 people heard him say that night: “In the merit of this gathering, the Intifada will stop”.

==

Miraculously from that night on, the stabbings and attacks that had been occurring on an almost daily basis beforehand did indeed abruptly stop.

==

After the event, Rav Yekusiel Fish commented: “Whoever can’t put two and two together is an idiot.

Specifically, at the same time that we are under constant attack from the Iranian nuclear threat, Rav Berland is being persecuted and is suffering in exile.

Without question, Rav Berland has been fighting the [Iranian’s] spiritual source, as is hinted to in his name “Berland”, which means ‘land of the bear’ in Yiddish. It’s known from the Gemara, (Tractate Yoma 77a) that the spiritual source of the Persian nation is called “Dubiel” the heavenly bear.

There is no question that Rav Berland is fighting them at their source, as well as all the other threats that Am Yisrael is facing. Whoever doesn’t put two and two together….

Here’s a Tzaddik who is halting the tragedies himself, who is stopping a nuclear attack.

He said: “Go and make a prayer gather on the night of the fast of Esther and it will stop the Intifada.” They went and did this, and immediately the Intifada stopped after half a year that not one day passed without killings!”

==

Speaking shortly before Pesach 5776, Rav Shalom Arush commented:

After the last prayer gathering in Chevron on the Fast of Esther, we clearly saw with our own eyes the strength of our teacher, Rav Eliezer Berland, shlita. 

After the prayer gathering that the Rav called for in Chevron, the terrorist attacks halted altogether.

We suffered so much from those terrorist attacks and now we see with our own eyes that it stopped.”

==

Rav Berland had requested that another prayer gathering should be organized in Chevron on April 27, 2016, and Rav Arush was encouraging people to attend.

Rav Arush continued:

Pesach is the time of redemption, and there is no other place that can work salvations like Me’aras Hamachpelah 

Everyone is obligated to make an effort and to participate. It’s really important. We clearly saw with our own eyes how the last prayer gathering truly worked miracles on behalf of Am Yisrael… We need to [pray to] continue to bring the geulah the sweet way, and that the Rav should return [to Israel].”

==

Pray on this, mull this over, above all else, think for yourself, about the clues these passages contain.

About how we can actually start to turn things around spiritually, and protect our soldiers being sent to fight in the Gaza death trap – and ourselves.

BH in the next post, I’ll bring more translated material from a few years ago, explaining why specifically 98.

With Hashem’s help, we can start to turn things around today, too, using the same strategy.

Amen.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] On March 19, 2012, four Jews, including a father and his three small children, were shot to death by a gunman at the Otzer HaTorah Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse.

[2] On January 21, 2015, 12 Israelis were stabbed by a Palestinian terrorist on a Tel Aviv commuter bus.

[3] Mishlei 11:4.

Shavua Tov!

‘Weird world’ is continuing in Israel at the moment, with most of the population walking around in a semi-depressed state (at best….) because of what’s going on in Gaza.

The Rav didn’t come out for prayers over Shabbat, because he didn’t feel well.

BH, he will have a speedy recovery – please pray for Rav Eliezer ben Ettia to have a total refuah shleimah.

It’s not the first time – at all – that when the nation approaches some sort of serious crisis point, somehow it all gets ‘sweetened’ – as the Rav’s health takes a serious nose-dive.

BH, it won’t get to that again.

Bezrat Hashem.

====

In the meantime, lots of interesting stuff from last week’s bunch of shiurim, brought down in Shivivei Or 1043.

I translated the bits that most took my eye….

Have a read, think for yourself what is really going on here.

It seems to me that more and more people are calling out the lies all over the place….

We are not yet at the place where that’s translating into things changing tachlis on the ground. But geula comes riding slowly on a donkey, where one person, then another person, than another person, wakes up, and stops participating in ‘the world of lies’.

Until one day, we wake up and it’s simply imploded all by itself.

Hopefully, with no more of our young men getting their limbs blown off, or losing their lives.

(We already covered the idea that all the psychos ‘cheerleading’ for war, war, and yet more war, are literally insane…. we don’t need to belabor that point.)

====

Excerpt from Shiur given on Motzae Shabbat, October 23, 2024 at the Beit HaRav.

(The shiur is based on the teachings of the Pele Yoetz.)

A person doesn’t get married for the ‘yetzer hara’ (evil inclination).

Whoever gets married for their yetzer hara – it’s forbidden to go to their wedding.

The Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman) says on page 52[1] that it’s forbidden to go to the wedding, because the whole wedding is being done for the yetzer hara.

==

[The following comes from the Pele Yoetz, which the Rav reads out to the audience.]

This is more terrible than a person who slaughters children.”[2]

If a person slaughters his child, he doesn’t do anything [compared with bringing children to the world whilst in a state of lustfully serving the yetzer hara].

But, if he trains [his child] to serve the yetzer hara…

==

All the masons, the bonim chofshim (freemasons), their ‘symbol’ is the Beit HaMikdash (Temple).

They want to make a new religion, that the Beit HaMikdash will be in Jerusalem, and each person will do whatever he wants.

Everyone will come to ‘pray’, and everyone will just do whatever they want. And their whole goal is make a new religion, and the Beit HaMikdash will be at its centre – but each person will do whatever they want to do.

Everyone can come to their Beit HaMikdash to pray – an Arab, a notzri, it doesn’t matter. An Indian, someone from India, from China, Thailand, Nepal, Tibet, everyone – all the nations united under a single ‘Beit HaMikdash’.

And this is the symbol, of the Beit HaMikdash.

==

And even, even B.B. is a member there.

Everyone is a hever (member, but can also mean ‘friend’). Biden is a member.

They have protection.

Whoever is a member, so they work with the courts so that nothing should be done to them.

He can steal, kill – whatever he wants.

(So now, everyone should go and become a member of the bonim chofshim…. Everyone.)

==

[Watch the first couple of minutes of this interesting video of our dear PM addressing congress back in 2011…. and how chummy he obviously is with the then VP….Joe Biden… who obviously ‘crosses’ himself as he’s being addressed. We are so used to ‘weird’ from Joe Biden, this probably no longer registers on the ‘weird’ scale. But it’s still weird.]

====

[Skipping quite a bit]

So now, we are asking everyone, that on the night of Nital (xmas eve), not to hang around on the streets, and to be careful….

Because now, the Hamas, in another little while, will already get to Jerusalem.

Because the plan was for the Hamas to get to Ashdod. This was the plan of the medina.

That by way of this, they would pull the ‘right’ down. Everything was planned.

They went through all the security teams, from all the kibbutzim, and took their weapons away from them.

They sent them [i.e. The army units usually stationed on the border] to Huwara, they sent them to here, they emptied out the whole army.[3]

==

And those that came, they didn’t give them guns.

They told them, we don’t have the key to the armoury….We need to do a list – to give out [the guns] according to the list.

And like this, they dragged it out for two days, three.

They only got to Kissufim on the fourth day, in the morning. And the earliest they got there was 10pm at night (i.e. Motzae Simchat Torah), after they’d already slaughtered a thousand young men and a thousand young women.

All this was planned.

==

Now, they publicised that everything was planned, down to the smallest exact details, which day, and everything.

Everything was exact. Everything was exact. It wasn’t ‘stam’ (happenstance). Everything was exact, with the greatest degree of precision.

Mamash, like it was by the [….], where everything was also done precisely.

That’s how they managed to get six million to ‘ascend’ on the fire.

And now, 1,500 went up on the fire, and 400 soldiers, just in order to reconquer the kibbutzim from the Hamas.

==

[1] Of Likutey Halachot, Orach Chaim, Part 3 – written by Rabbi Natan Sternhartz.

[2] See Pele Yoetz, letter zayin, ‘Zugot’ (couples).

[3] In a footnote to this comment in the Shivivei Or Newsletter, the editor explains that in a seperate shiur, the Rav spoke about how shlichim from Chabad went around to army bases in the South during Sukkot with arbeh minot to have soldiers shake the lulav, etc, and they found that there were hardly any soldiers on the bases.

====

PS: I just found THIS article on ‘Freemasonry Watch’…. very, very interesting.

The whole site is very interesting, but the article linked to above explains a lot of the stuff I’m also tripping over, from different angles, about who is really running our little patch of the world.

 

A couple of days ago, I got this email – even though I barely sign up for anything and I have no idea how they got my details.

====

Hmm.

No website…. no registered charity number…

But I click the link and it takes me to the donation platform Rayze.it, and this strange message:

====

I’m not an expert on what brigades and battalions there are in the IDF.

Please, feel free to write to me and tell me exactly what this ‘910th Battalion’ is, because on the Wiki page listing the IDF’s brigades it’s not mentioned at all.

Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s not.

Point is: I have no idea.

====

So then, I start scooting around to see who exactly is running this slick marketing campaign for the 910th Battalion.

Scrolling down that same page on the Rayze-it platform, I get to this:

====

They apparently already raised more than $16k….

But who are they?

And what is the connection to ‘EZRAT ACHIM’?

Apparently, EZRAT ACHIM is this organisation, being run out of Bet Shemesh.

Again, I don’t know if this is real, legit, or not – take a look at their ‘War support‘ tab and see just how much expensive military gear seems to be cropping up in those pictures…

The point is – the POINT IS – so many organisations have just jumped on to ‘the war’ to tap into all that fundraising ‘good vibe’ that is currently washing all over the place.

And probably, at least some of them are very good and ‘legit’.

But I would caution you to be extremely careful about where your money is really going.

====

While we’re on the subject….

How much of the extra $1 billion + that was raised by the beginning of December by places like the ‘Jewish Joint’ and the ‘Jewish Federations of North America’ – how much of that do you think actually got to soldiers who need equipment, and evacuees who are stuck in hotels while their livelihood went down the pan?

If you check out the JDC’s page on their war effort for Israel…. it doesn’t really answer that question.

At all.

====

If you go to the Wayback Machine HERE and click through the ‘evolution’ of that fundraising page since October 7th – it still doesn’t really answer the question of where did all that extra money actually go?!?

This is a screenshot from November 20, 2023, where the JDC talks about what they were going to do with all that extra cash being so generously donated by the Jews of North America:

====

Maybe, all this happened and I just have totally, absolutely no idea about it.

Set me straight, tell me all about your first-hand experiences of how this money got to those who really need it.

Because in my small dalet amot, I am seeing none of this happening around me.

What I AM seeing is amazing local volunteer efforts, with so many people giving their time, effort and money directly to the people who need it.

But nothing to do – at all – with the JDC.

====

Here’s their ‘Israel Emergency fundraising page’ from today:

====

Does this sound like a ‘billion dollars’ worth to you?

Does it sound like most of this stuff even went specifically to the people directly involved in the atrocity of October 7th?

Where was the government funding in all this – or are we meant to believe that those 8,300 ‘traumatised children and parents’ were only getting therapy funded by the JDC and nobody else?

Compare and contrast with the screenshot from November – you can see for yourself, they raised funds for one thing, and then basically spent most of those funds on stuff they were already doing.

(If, at all.)

====

OK, we’ll stop there.

If our precious soldiers don’t have the equipment they need – let them come home already!

And let this most corrupt of corrupt, failed States find a different way to ‘solve’ the Hamas problem it created itself – with yet more of our taxpayers’ money.

And is continuing to support, by sending more humanitarian aid to Gaza, (including things like steel girders….) which Hamas just steals anyway.

So the Hamas has the strength and ‘energy’ they need to continue fighting against our poor soldiers.

====

Personally, I have a way, way better place to be putting my charity money.

It’s going to poor families who are learning Torah mamash lishma.

It’s going to keep the lights on at the shul down on Ido HaNavi.

It’s going to buy clothes for girls who can’t afford new skirts.

And it’s going, most of all, to try to ‘sweeten the judgments’ on our poor, battered nation, so that our soldiers can come home, the evil will fall – and no other precious Jew has to be killed or injured, on the path to geula.

BH, I will tell you more about that soon.

====

While I was typing this up, my newly-married daughter called me from the supermarket.

She was totally shocked at how much money she just spend – even in Osher Ad – to buy basic groceries for a week.

I don’t know what’s happening by you, but here in Israel, a lot of the food prices are starting to shoot up in a very alarming way.

I really am starting to fear for large families who don’t have a lot of cash, about how they can continue to buy even basic staples for their kids.

In this failed State that spends 60-100 billion a year on a useless army, that apparently can’t predict or stop massive ‘terrorist attacks’, can’t provide soldiers with even basic stuff like helmets and waterproof tents, and apparently also can’t give the families of reservists even basic financial help so they don’t implode while the husband and father is away fighting its wars for them….

I am feeling more and more like there needs to be a huge, massive re-organisation of priorities, even if Moshiach takes another few decades to show up, God forbid.

====

Make sure the kids have enough food – every single kid in the country.

Make sure the ‘holocaust survivors’ – many of whom are also used as fundraising fodder, in such a disgusting way – are cared for with dignity.

Stop spending all the money on hitech ‘start-ups’ that are just excuses to funnel taxpayers’ money from the poor to the super-rich-and-still-grasping-for-more people who run the show here – and everywhere else in the world.

All this ‘yuck’ just continues, until the small people stop buying into this warped paradigm, and start really, really calling out to Hashem to save us from the evil.

That’s our main job right now – it’s our only real option.

And boy, do we need to get on with doing that.

==

PS: This is a list of all the ‘official’ dead and wounded from the Gaza operation so far.

It’s already at well over a thousand…. 160+ dead, and well over 800 wounded.

We really need our soldiers back home, and out of the death trap that’s been carefully prepared for them by the same people who ‘let’ October 7 happen (at best….)

And someone else just sent me THIS interesting story, about Pfizer using wounded soldiers in Gaza for more medical experiments with zero informed-consent.

Sigh.

Tatty, come and rescue us all already. Please.

Yesterday, I had a weird dream.

I went to sleep while I was thinking about different things I could bring from Rabbenu, about ‘being a religious fanatic’, and about how Rabbenu never told people *directly to their faces* to do things that required massive mesirut nefesh, like going to Uman for Rosh Hashana.

Even though that’s what he really, really wanted them to do.

Tov.

The self-righteous side kicked in, that feeling of smug arrogance descended, and I drifted off into sleep.

====

I can’t remember most of the dream that I had, but I remember this:

I was having a massive argument with some old guy with a black hat and a white beard, about what Rabbenu really meant.

I don’t remember the subject we were arguing about, but in the dream, I just kept screaming at the old guy with the white beard –

Look in the book!!! Look in ‘Tzaddik’!!!

Go and take a look, it’s written there in black and white!!!

==

The old guy pulled the book out and started reading from it – but all I could notice was the cover, which had the word:

AZAMRA

Printed on it, in orange letters against a black background.

Azamra – see the good.

Stop focussing on all the stuff that isn’t 100% perfect, 100% ‘there’, still annoying, grating, hypocritical, wrong – and just see the good in your fellow Jew!

Hmm.

====

This morning, I did a little hitbodedut on the subject of AZAMRA, and I realised I have been doing an awful job of that lately.

Partially, it’s because I’m looking for people and reasons to ‘blame’ for the horrendous situation that’s now developed here in Eretz Yisrael.

Blaming is a stress reaction, it happens when I’m scared about what is going on and I’m casting around for the scape-goat that can carry all of the sins as they head of the cliff to Azazel…

But yesterday’s dream brought me up sharp.

Right now, the key, the point, the focus – it has to be AZAMRA.

Seeing the good in my fellow Jews (particularly the ones I happen to live with…) and seeing the good in myself.

And seeing the good, more widely.

I am having a stay-cation this week, so I don’t have tons of time to explore ‘AZAMRA’, and how to really apply it without acting like a yefe nefesh retard, to real-life experiences and situations.

But Rav Ofer Erez did an excellent shiur on this topic a few years ago, and someone took the time to translate the whole thing with English subtitles:

Enjoy!

====

And the last thing to say, is that I apologise to anyone whose feelings I may have hurt in the discussion about smartphones.

I know we are all doing our very best, in very difficult circumstances.

And I’m sorry that sometimes I get so smug and judgemental about certain topics.

We all have our blind spots…. mine isn’t the smartphone, but I for sure have a ton of other issues that I need to work on in myself still.

So, I apologise.

=====

Thanks to Nechama for sending me this.

====

It’s Rav Elmaliach, one of the students of the Rav, and also a big kabbalist in his own right.

He’s bringing sources that seem to indicate 5784 (koach times koach) will be the year of geula.

And that Gog u’Magog may have begun Sukkot.

And that techiat hametim could be Pesach.

And that only Moshiach can get us out of the terrible pickle we are currently in.

We only have Hashem to rely on.

====

In the meantime…

Can someone please explain to me how our government has an apparently unending budget to keep renewing ‘bring them home’ posters, and to keep spending huge amounts of money on that ‘bring them home’ campaign – while I am still getting emails telling me our soldiers don’t have even basic equipment?

They are sleeping on the Northern border in puddles, because their tents aren’t water-proof….

They don’t have vests….helmets….goggles….

How is this possible?

====

The State spends a minimum of 60 billion a year on the army (and I’ve seen some suggestion it’s 100 billion A YEAR) – and yet the soldiers don’t have basic equipment?!

And yet, our government is still spending hundreds of thousands of shekels (more like: millions….) every single week cranking ‘bring them home’ up again, on pretty much every billboard across the whole country?

====

If you want to tell me there is no budget for basic equipment, because the corrupt State spent billions investing in hi-tech start-ups, that saw lots of the usual suspects walking away as instant millionaires….

Then of course, I would have to tell you that even the State couldn’t be that venal and corrupt.

Ahem.

====

But in the meantime, can I suggest a ‘tweak’ to ‘bring them home’ – to include all our soldiers?

Like, right now?

People’s families and businesses are mamash falling apart.

I know one woman with five small kids whose husband ‘volunteered’ for the reserves three months ago…. and she is mamash starting to crack up, trying to manage the whole situation essentially alone.

This can’t continue like this for too much longer.

At least, not in its current format.

====

BH, may we hear good news.

And may geula unfold the sweet way, as more and more people finally start to understand that the way to stop all the damim being spilled is by paying more damim in pidyonot – money instead of blood – and / or, by acting with mesirut nefesh – self-sacrifice – to sanctify God’s name whilst still actually staying totally healthy and alive.

Amen.

 

 

 

 

Some very interesting stuff from the Rav in this tranche of translated comments from Chanuka.

It’s the continuation of this post, talking about the Greco-Roman ‘snakes’ in Israel.

====

Haman did ve’samachta be’hagecha (rejoice on your festivals).

He took champagne, whiskey, he also distributed champagne to everyone. It cost him.

It cost him $10 million.

A million soldiers, and for each soldier he bought for $10, 10 bottles of champagne.

A person drinks champagne…

==

[On Simchat Torah when Hamas was over-running the army bases]

All the officers were sleeping.

At 5AM in the morning, they woke them up, [and told them]:

They are already breaking through the fence!!

None of the officers could wake up.

Many of the officers said: We simply couldn’t wake up – we were drinking champagne all night. ve’samachta be’hagechawe only went to sleep at 5AM.

==

At 6.30AM they were already calling them: Look, 3,000 terrorists just cut through the fence!!

Everyone thought, maybe it’s 10 terrorists. The most it could be is 20 terrorists. OK, let’s say it’s even 70 terrorists.

70 terrorists, three people, three soldiers, each one has a revolver, each revolver has 20 bullets. 20 bullets times three is 60, and 10 [terrorists] will run away.

So maximum, maximum, they will break through the fence and maybe 7o terrorists, the most will cross over.

Three officers with three handguns will drive them away, will take them down, drop them down dead.

“Hashem will fight for you and you will remain silent.“[1]

==

Nobody thought that it would be 3,000 [terrorists], and maybe even 4,000, and maybe even 5,000.

It was impossible to know.

All the kibbutzim were full [of terrorists]. It took three days to reconquer them again.

And 400 soldiers fell, just to reconquer the kibbutzim.

Instead of stationing one [soldier] there with a gun, so 400 soldiers departed.

==

All of this is just because of the Xiomi!

This is something supernatural, this is something that doesn’t make logical sense – that there were no soldiers, and no army, and that they took everyone’s firearms away.

Everyone already knows the story: Maybe, someone will fire on some Arab by mistake, on some poor Arab, some innocent Arab, some holy Arab.

So, they took all their guns away from them, away from all the security teams, all the guards.

The guards [on the kibbutzim] didn’t have guns! They just came and shot them!

==

Everything is because of the Xiomi!

Each person who has a Xiomi in their pocket, so he’s causing people to die.

This is what is written:

“Hashem will fight for you, and you will remain silent.”

And this is what is written[2]:

“For Hashem Your God walks in the midst of your camp to rescue you and to deliver your enemies before you. So your camp will be holy! So that He will not see a shameful thing among you and turn away from behind you!!

A verse can’t just be erased!

If you try and erase it – you won’t succeed!

The Ammonites are trying to erase “An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the congregation of Hashem” – they won’t succeed!

==

“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the congregation of Hashem, even their tenth generation shall not enter the congregation of Hashem, to eternity.”[3]

Why? Because the Ammonite and the Moabite is the peak of tumah (spiritual defilement), this is from ‘my people’ and this is from the father.

==

Two billion people believe that ‘Oto HaIsh’[4] was born ‘from the Holy Shechina’.

Once upon a time, every floozy, every woman who suddenly got a ‘mazal tov’ for having a child after ten years of not falling pregnant, they used to ask her:

But look here, you don’t have a husband?!

[She would say] What’s the question? I got impregnated by the Shechina! I went for a walk in a field, I was doing hitbodedut, and I met ‘the Shechina’, some angel….

So here, one of the angels grabbed Lot and his wife, the second angel grabbed his two daughters, and took them out of the city.

==

[And so, this is how the daughters of Lot could have told everyone, who knew that they had been rescued from Sdom by angels, that these angels also impregnated them. But they preferred to tell the truth, and called their children Moav (‘from my father’) and Ammon (‘from my people’.)

==

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Shemot 14:14.

[2] Devarim 23:15.

[3] Devarim 23:4.

[4] I.e. Yoshki, the founder of xtianity.

====

I literally laughed out loud when I was typing this up, especially the remarks about Yoshki’s parentage.

But what’s not funny, is just as I finished putting this up, I got a phone call from my daughter who has been ‘off’ the smartphone for well over a year.

She has a simple Nokia.

And that simple Nokia this morning is no longer working, because the State of Israel has just pulled the 3G network in this country.

So, you either need a phone that support 4G minimum – or you have no phone.

There are Nokias that do that – I have one myself.

My husband bought it for me two weeks ago, literally, because no-one could  hear me anymore on my old Nokia (presumably, part of the plan for getting rid of the less damaging 3G, and the way more healthy-for-you simple phones.)

Sigh.

====

The Nokia I have apparently supports internet, but I have no intention of ever, ever using it, or getting it set up.

I use it for calls and texts, that’s it.

Sometimes, people read what the Rav says about the smartphones and the Xiomis, and they get all snippy and self-righteous.

I just HAVE to have a smartphone for work…. I just HAVE to have an i-Phone for the kids’ school…for the neighborhood groups…to go and volunteer… to stay up with family abroad.

[FILL IN YOUR PARTICULAR REASON HERE].

But, each person that gives into this is strengthening the bars of the ‘digital prison’ for themselves, first of all – and also, for everyone else.

====

I know a few people, BH, who gave up their smartphones.

They aren’t missing them at all, and can still function in the world 100%.

And the more people who do it, the easier it gets for more and more people to do it.

====

I know it’s hard, I really do.

We are all caught in this bind, where ‘doing the right thing’, especially digitally, is getting harder and harder.

But really, it’s the same test the immigrants in NYC faced when they were told either break shabbat, or you are out of a job.

It’s the same test the Jews in Uman faced, when the Haidamaks told them either convert, or we’re going to kill you right here.

We are on such a low level, that our test of ‘mesirut nefesh’ essentially boils down to give up on Whats App and go back to watching ‘Friends Reruns’ on a PC….

And even so, so many of us are still finding even this too difficult.

====

Tov.

You really want the war to end?

You really want the evil to go into retreat, and to finally be broken?

You really want to stop the steady stream of our young men getting killed and mutilated in Gaza – because as well as the 150+ dead, there are a couple of thousand with horrible injuries, including a lot with their hands and feet blown off – ?

You know what you need to do, spiritually.

May Hashem help us all to find the courage to clean all the tumah out of our handbags and pockets, ASAP.

May our camp return to being holy, once again.

And then, we can get on to the part of the verse we are all desperately waiting for:

For Hashem Your God walks in the midst of your camp to rescue you and to deliver your enemies before you.

Amen.

The story begins with a book called ‘The Vilna Gaon and His Cousinhood’.

My husband tripped over it in the library, and I went back and took a look.

Long story short, I went through the whole book, and there, on page 226, I saw a family tree that said the following:

Pinchas Reizes Shick married an unnamed daughter of the Alter Rebbe, Baal HaTanya.

Apparently, they had a son called ‘Zeev Shick’.

And apparently, he had three children.

==

I don’t need to tell you that whoever this ‘unnamed daughter’ of the Alter Rebbe is has been totally scrubbed out of the history books.

(I have a feeling that he married Frieda Schneerson, but we’ll come back to that below.)

Pinchas Reizes Shick was meant to be a very beloved talmid of the Alter Rebbe – but he’s also been mostly ‘scrubbed’ out of the history books.

So, I went looking to see what more I could tickle out about PINCHAS REIZES (ROSANES) SHICK (died 1825, in Lubavitch).

==

The first place I went was Chabadpedia, in Hebrew, which still has more of the gems of real info that have just been disappeared most everywhere else.

HERE is the page for PINCHAS ROZANES, and this is the translated snippet:

[He] married the daughter of Rebbetzin Reza Berlin of Shklov.

The fast-thinkers out there will have already realised that if Pinchas Reizes Shick is meant to be the Alter Rebbe’s son-in-law…. Then that makes ‘Rebbetzin Reza Berlin of Shklov’ the Alter Rebbe’s wife.

Except… Of course, her entry is a dead end. And I can’t find any details about her, currently (I suspect because there is a family link-up between ‘Reza Berlin of Shklov’ and the Netziv, Naftali Zvi Berlin, Volozhin Rosh Yeshiva.)

==

Parking that for now, I also learnt some more interesting things on that Chabadpedia page.

Like, apparently, there was a ‘war of succession’ over who was going to lead ‘Chabad’ (it probably wasn’t even called that….) after the death of the Alter Rebbe.

Apparently, the Mitteler Rebbe’s daughter was married to R Mordechai of Tchernoble, and he was also vying to lead the chassidim. (Interestingly, there is no talk at all about ‘Moshe Schneuri’, who was meant to be the youngest son of the Alter Rebbe who converted to xtianity, like so many of the Sabbateans who were following the example of Jacob Frank at that time.)

You’ll recall that ‘Moshe Shneuri’ married Shira Rivlin, from the close family of the Vilna Gaon, who moves to Israel.

And apparently, no-one knows what happened to that xtian son of the Alter Rebbe.

==

Anyway, Pinchas Reizes Shick was given the job of being the ‘kingmaker’ by the Alter Rebbe, and he threw his weight firmly behind the Mitteler Rebbe, Dov Ber Shneerson.

He was clearly a really important dude in the whole Chabad constellation….

But he’s been mostly scrubbed for a whole bunch of reasons, some of which I still haven’t figure out, but one thing I can tell you:

Pinchas Shick’s niece ‘Elke / Wilhemina’ was married to the leader of the Frankists, ‘Moses Dobruska’.

(Take a look at geni, HERE.)

Time and time again, we keep finding the people that link the Rebbes of Chabad, and the close family members of the ‘Vilna Gaon’, directly to ‘Frankist royalty’.

And that’s just the small bits of info they haven’t managed to totally scrub out the picture.

==

Please recall, the Sabbatean-Frankists believed in a false messiah, who was akin to the yoshki idea of ‘bringing God ‘down to earth’, as an incarnate being.

If you peruse Chabad philosophy, you will find this idea stated specifically, even now, in many of Chabad’s teachings.

The Sabbatean-Frankists also had very tight links to royalty and ‘non-Jewish governments’.

And last, but so not least, they were VERY interested in creating a homeland for the Jews in Eretz Yisrael…. (And so was the Vilna Gaon and his followers….)

But not exactly for the reasons we all believe.

==

There are more interesting things about what was going on in Shklov with the Alter Rebbe and the three big ‘mitnagdim’ who arranged for him to get arrested, at least the first time.

They are all people you’ve heard about already if you’ve been with me for a while, but go check out their Chabadpedia pages – there’s a lot of very interesting details there that really show the version of history we’ve all been taught is basically hogwash.

Take a look at the pages for:

Shklov

Joshua Zeitlin

Natan Nata Notkin

Abraham Peretz – son in law of Zeitlin, business partner of Notkin, and a guy who converted out to xtianity in St Petersburg.

==

Peretz, Zeitlin and Notkin are said to be ‘friends’ with the leading maskil Yehuda Leib Nowakovitch, who also ends up converting out to xtianity.

Yehuda Leib is the main translator of all the documents into Russian that were used to get Shneur Zalman arrested by the authorities for treason against the government.

He was also one of the very first Russian freemasons…. And for sure, there is a lot more to write about what was really going on there.

==

To put it another way: the State of Israel has always been a project of the masons, and the masons found Jewish members of their lodges and secret societies to ‘front’ the project.

That explains a lot, doesn’t it?

==

OK, so back to ‘PINCHAS REIZES SHICK’, who apparently married some unknown daughter of the Alter Rebbe of Chabad.

I was tootling around on Geni, trying to find who this ‘unknown daughter’ might actually be, when I tripped over one of the so-called duplicate trees that the Geni gatekeepers want everyone to ignore as being ‘made up’.

You can see that tree for yourself HERE, and it’s for one ‘Bila Segal (nee Lowensohn)’.

According to this ‘alternative tree’, there is someone called JUDAH LEIB LOWENSOHN (LOWY) – same surname as ‘BARUCH LOWY’, the shadowy figure who is meant to be the dad of the Alter Rebbe.

==

So, JUDAH LEIB LOWENSOHN (LOWY) has two kids:

Kid one:

BILA LOWENSOHN – marries one R JUDAH LEIB SEGAL (1720-1745), and has a daughter called LEA LEA SEGAL (1766 – 1792) – who is probably the real DEVORAH LEAH, said to be the daughter of the Alter Rebbe.

‘LEA LEA’ marries SHALOM SHACHNE ALTSHULER – and has two children.

  1. The TZEMACH TZEDEK – 3rd rebbe of Chabad.
  2. SORA SCHNEERSON, who marries one JOSHUA OVSEI NISHNEVITZ.

==

Kid two:

YITZHAK (ISAAC) DOV LOWENSOHN.

And this is where the story whooshes off into ‘incredible land’, once again.

ISAAC DOV LOWENSOHN has two kids (that are listed).

  1. LEON LOWENSOHN marries ‘LEA’, and has three very interesting kids:

      a. OLGA, marries her first cousin ABRAHAM MOSES RAFFALOVICH (1783-1859) – (more about them, and all these other kids, in a mo.)

     b. LEVI YEHONASON LOWENSOHN marries RIVKA, the grand-daughter of none other than the false messiah, JACOB FRANK (via his son who marries a daughter of BENJAMIN RIVLIN, the Gabiah HaKesef, and father of HILLEL RIVLIN.)

c. BELLA (d. 1841), marries a famous merchant and banker from Berdychev / Odessa, called CHARLES JOACHIM (CHAIM) EPHRUSSI.

==

  1. REIZEL LOWENSOHN marries MOSES RAFFALOVICH, and they have three kids (that are listed):

a. ABRAHAM MOSES RAFFALOVICH marries his first cousin OLGA, above.

b. SOLOMON MOSES RAFFALOVICH (1790-1846) marries RIVKA (1800-1860).

c. R’ KALMAN MOSHE RAFFALOVICH marries ‘unknown daughter of LOWENSOHN’.

==

Before we move on, remember that the Sabbatean-Frankists only married their own, especially at this period of time.

Yet again, we are finding ‘JACOB FRANK’ in the family tree of both the Chabad Rebbes, and also the leading followers and Perushim of the Vilna Gaon.

And now, we’re going to see how this family of ‘scrubbed’ Raffalovichs were actually up to some very interesting things in Eretz Yisrael, and other ways, too.

==

So, ABRAHAM MOSES RAFFALOVICH and his wife/cousin OLGA apparently have 13 kids.

I won’t go through all of them here (although I researched each one….) – let’s just look at the really ‘interesting’ ones.

What I’m looking for at this point is anyone who was playing a leading role in the ‘State of Israel’ project, big bankers – and / or people who converted and became leading catholics.

On all three counts, we hit the jackpot with this family.

==

One of ABRAHAM and OLGA’S kids is LEON ANISIMOVIC RAFFALOVICH (1813-1879). He marries his first cousin (Jacob Frank’s great-grandaughter) ROSETTE LOWENSOHN (1807-1895).

They have three kids.

  • ELENA marries an Italian senator called DOMENICO COMPARETTI, and their grandson LORENZO MILANI becomes a very big priest in the Roman Catholic church (and suspected pedophile….).
  • NADINE MARIE marries a French Count VICTOR-RENE CAHPTAL DE CHANTELOUP.
  • MARIE (1832-1921) marries her uncle HERMAN RAFFALOVICH – and they have a flamboyantly homosexual son called MARC ANDRE RAFFALOVICH who becomes a Dominican Priest, and devotes his life to writing ‘theological tracts’ explaining why celibate gay men make the very best priests….

(‘Hebrew-Catholic’ Athol Bloomer, who first clued me in to the Frankist take-over of the Jewish community – albeit with a lot of misdirection – has a very interesting post about him HERE.)

==

OK, before we get to the EPHRUSSI part of this story – which is even more crazy – let’s take a look at another influential RAFFALOVICH.

He’s called: R DR ISAIAH RAFFALOVICH.

And he’s the guy who helped to start up that AHAVA ‘secret society’ in Israel that maneuvred AVRAHAM YITZHAK HAKOHEN KOOK into his job as the first ‘Chief Rabbi’, amongst many other things involving ‘our top rabbis’.

==

Read more about AHAVA on the Hebrew Wikipedia HERE, this is the relevant snippet about this particular RAFFALOVICH:

YESHAYAHU RAFAELOWITZ – “He was the founder and first president of the World Ahva Society, the Chief Rabbi of Brazil and the Chief Rabbi of the British Army in Palestine.” 

Married the daughter of ISRAEL DOV FRUMKIN –  “Israel Dov Frumkin’s great-grandson—is Carmi Gilon, who was head of the Shabak (Israeli security service).”

==

Go and look up what Carmi Gillon recently said about religious Jews in the Holy Land.

More of the pieces of the puzzle will start to slot into place.

==

ISAIAH RAFFALOVICH was the grandson of R KALMAN MOSHE RAFFALOVITCH, the brother of ABRAHAM MOSES RAFFALOVITCH who married OLGA, above.

Always the same tight little nest of Freemason-Frankists.

Here’s a bit more about him:

Raffalovich left for Europe, where he studied in Berlin and London, obtaining his rabbinical diploma at the Hildesheimer Seminary in Berlin. He served congregations in Manchester and Wales and the Hope Place Synagogue in Liverpool (1904–24).

While on a mission to South America in 1923, he was invited by the *Jewish Colonization Association (ICA) to go to Brazil as its representative, promote immigration to that country, and serve as a spiritual guide to the Jewish community. In this capacity he toured the country, established welfare institutions and improved already existing ones, and helped the newly established communities and synagogues.

==

And of course, set up an extremely influential secret society in Israel, that maneuvred it’s own people into all the key positions, religiously.

Of course.

His family tree on Geni is HERE – and you can learn some more interesting things, if you care to.

Like, his maternal grandpa was apparently that same NISSAN BAK who was the agent of ‘R ISRAEL OF RUZHIN’ (aka MOSHE TZVI of SAVRAN, main persecutor of R NATAN of BRESLOV) in Eretz Israel.

This snippet comes from Wiki, HERE:

Nisan Bak (1815–1889) was a leader of the Hasidic Jewish community of the Old Yishuv in Ottoman Palestine. He was the founder of two Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem, Kirya Ne’emana (better known as Batei Nissan Bak) and a Yemenite Jewish neighborhood, and builder of the Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue, also known as the Nisan Bak Shul.

==

And at the same time he was also apparently a big chussid of ‘ISRAEL of RUZHIN’,and acting ‘as the local head of the Ruzhin-Sadagura dynasty….

Bak was also a pioneer of the Jewish Enlightenment, or Haskalah, within his community, together with his brother-in-law I.D. Frumkin,”

Well, fancy that.

====

This branch of the RAFFALOVICHS also descend from R BARUCH of MEDZHIBOZ – Rabbenu’s uncle.

I am willing to bet you a million to one there is a very interesting story hiding out behind him, that would shed a lot more light on why he actually tried to literally kill Rebbe Nachman, his nephew.

==

Meanwhile, ISRAEL DOV FRUMKIN descends from those same ZEITLINS we started off with, and is also related to the Chabad Rebbes of KAPOST.

Oh, and his daughter marries BENJAMIN DISKIN.

Always the same small world.

==

OK, let’s wrap this up with BELLA LOWENSOHN who marries CHARLES JOACHIM CHAIM EPHRUSSI (1793-1864).

They have two kids (but he marries twice, and there are a lot more interesting descendants from that pairing, too.)

  1. LEON (HAIM) EFRUSSI (1826-1871) marries MINNA LANDAU of Brody, and
  2. IGNAZ RITTER VON EPHRUSSI (1829-1899) (he got ennobled….) marries EMILIA PORGES.

This could literally carry on for another three hours, but let’s cut to the chase, here.

The ‘PORGES-SPIROs’ were a very famous family of Frankists, and also related to ‘Jonas Natan EYBSHUTZ (SHAPIRO) – whoever that guy actually was, really.

There is a whole website HERE dedicated to the ‘Porges as Frankists’, and amazingly, it didn’t get scrubbed yet.

But as I keep telling you, all these people strictly married just each other, across many, many generations.

==

Meanwhile, ‘MINNA EPHRUSSI’ is the great-granddaughter of the NODAH B’YEHUDA, EZEKIEL LANDAU.

Like this:

NODA B’YEHUDA YEHEZKEL LANDAU > R’ YAAKOV (JACOVKA) LANDAU > JUDAH YUDA LANDAU m TREINA LIPSHUTZ (d of SHLOMO LIPSHUTZ OF SLUTZK) > MINNA LANDAU m LEON EFRUSSI.

==

I have to tell you, my research is routinely throwing up lots of children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Nodah B’Yehuda, who married Frankist royalty.

I don’t know what all this means.

You remember the Nodah B’Yehuda famously covered up for EYBSHUTZ, and shut the whole controversy around him down, so it could be ‘spiritual payback’, that so many of his descendants either apostasized (like the famous maskil of Uman, MOSES LANDAU), and / or married Frankists, and / or converted out.

There’s a lot of funny business around the Nodah b’Yehuda’s family tree – particuarly with his descendants who seemed to have moved to Israel and got important positions here.

But that’s a research project for another time.

==

In the meantime, Minna’s sister ZISSELE LANDAU married one JOSHUA HESCHEL (OSIAS) SCHORR….

Another maskil and ‘fervent Jewish nationalist’ descending from that same, infamous, family of Sabbatean-Frankists… And you can read all about him HERE.

==

Let’s end with two really ‘out there’ links.

I’m not saying either of these things are true…. But they are certainly interesting.

Link 1:

A very interesting article about another of Odessa banker CHARLES EPHRUSSI’s sons, MAURICE EPHRUSSI, who married a roth….child and who Clifford Shack suggests might have fathered Stalin….

To me, it’s still quite the stretch, but it’s not totally impossible.

==

Link 2:

While I was researching the name LOWENSOHN I came across these really strange references to an artist named EMILY LOWENSTAMM – who apparently gave art lessons to one Adolf Hitler.

Maybe, you heard of him.

(The name is just another variation of that same surname, and with this family, there are a LOT of variations being used.)

She apparently sketched Hitler and Lenin playing chess together in Vienna as young men…

As always, think for yourself.

The more we uncover here, the more ‘birur’ there is to do.

TBC

 

 

 

 

There was an article that appeared on YNET yesterday, about the Hamas tunnels in Gaza.

It was talking about the massive ‘tunnel boring’ machinery Hamas has, to make all these massive tunnels deep under ground.

I can’t find that article now…. but this one, with Sinwar’s brother driving through the Hamas tunnel on the border between Gaza and Israel, shows just how big we are talking:

https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/skzzvchlp

====

How did these massive bits of tunnel-digging equipment get shipped to Gaza, and our government and army apparently had no idea that was happening?

====

On a related but separate note, here’s another surprising new tunnel that was just recently publicised:

==

I don’t have Telegram, but if you do, Daniel Amram has a discussion with someone from Chabad who apparently explained that the Rebbe gave permission for this tunnel to be dug.

HERE is the channel, and this is a translated screenshot.

Feel free to listen to the interview and share anything that catches your eye.

====

But in the meantime… sure is interesting, all these tunnels being dug all over the place.

 

Just thought I’d spend a few minutes going through some stories, to help ‘clarify’ a bit more.

***UPDATES – SCROLL DOWN***

  1. Screenshot from the Tomer Devorah blog HERE:

It’s not a lie.

====

There are hundreds of thousands of Arabs working in Israel, and also in Yehuda and Shomron, all the time, and they do many of the jobs that the Jews can’t or won’t do.

After Simchat Torah, everyone got super-scared (obviously….) and many of the Arabs in Yesha were literally in lockdown in their homes for a month, unable to leave for pretty much any reason.

That’s also when they were scared the Arabs would start rioting and then there would be another wave of internal violence to deal with.

In the meantime…. a lot of the businesses had to close, or ‘try to get by’ – but it’s not a long-time sustainable thing.

====

Already two weeks ago, around 150k ‘foreign workers’ from places like Thailand were approved entry and started to arrive.

But it’s still not enough to cover the shortfall in economic manpower, which is also exacerbated by the 400k reserves that got called up.

The reality is, that the State of Israel, and also Yesha, has a lot of jobs that are done by the Arabs that also live in this country, and without them, the country can’t function long term, economically.

That is the reality.

And that’s why some of the workers – the older ones with a calmer head – are being let back to work.

Otherwise, the whole economy here crashes.

====

2. ‘Terrorists’ don’t need manual laborers to tell them anything, when they already get their information, weapons and funding from people much higher up the food chain.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, look at this screenshot from today, from the Daniel Amram Telegram:

(BTW, there’s no way he’d be pulling in the numbers of viewers he now has if he wasn’t being carefully ‘watched over…. so take everything with a pinch of salt, from everyone.)

====

We can argue the toss over whether 30,000 – 90,000 – who-knows-how-much fuel is necessary for Gaza for ‘humanitarian reasons’.

As more and more info is coming out about the supplies and money that OUR OWN GOVERNMENT is handing over to Gaza, in the middle of this ‘war’, which is going straight to Hamas, even our King Snake here is starting to squirm about it.

But, how can we explain this?

If you are still buying the story that the only ‘terrorists’ here, and ‘enablers of terrorists’ are sitting in Gaza or Qatar.

3. The three dead hostages – more info that makes no sense.

A friend of mine sent me this story, I went to check out the provenance – and I find it’s splashed all over the web, even on Breitbart, HERE.

Snippet:

The Times of Israel reported:

A dog from the military’s Oketz canine unit recorded one of three escaped hostages yelling for help, according to new details from the military’s investigation, the latest indication of how far the trio went to signal their identities to the Israel Defense Forces before they were mistakenly shot to death by troops.

During the gun battle, an Oketz dog was sent into the building, which the army later determined was where the hostages were being held. The dog was killed by the Hamas gunmen, who were in turn killed by the Golani soldiers, allowing Alon Shamriz, Yotam Haim and Samar Talalka to escape captivity, according to the investigation.

During the battle, a camera mounted on the dog recorded the voice of a hostage, apparently Alon Shamriz, shouting “Help” and that there were hostages there. They are not seen on the footage. The feed from the dog’s body camera was not being monitored live and was only discovered on December 18 after the body of the canine was recovered.

====

Let’s unpick the BS a bit more, shall we?

Over HERE, we get more info on what is meant to have happened – notice the timing, and how these details actually take the floor out from underneath this ‘story’ above:

Citing evidence gathered in the aftermath of the accident, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Wednesday the three hostages encountered the camera-toting dog on Dec. 10 — five days before they were shot dead during fighting in Shejaiya, a neighborhood in Gaza City.

Alon Lulu Shamriz, 26, one of the three abducted men who previously served in the IDF’s Yahalom Unit, was familiar with how the dogs operated, the news outlet reported. Shamriz yelled at the dog’s camera there were three hostages inside the building.

The hostages were not seen in the video footage, but Shamriz’s voice can be heard, according to the Times of Israel.

====

Yah, right.

There’s no video of what really was happening, just audio that our propaganda ‘media’ tells us was a hostage’s voice.

Whatever.

And also, notice this whole dog story happened FIVE DAYS BEFORE the hostages are meant to have been shot ‘by a sniper from the IDF’…

Oh, and also notice that no-one reviewed the feed from this dog’s encounter with Hamas terrorists, apparently for EIGHT DAYS, even though the whole point of these dogs is to show the army where the terrorists are, what the surroundings are like, etc, to save the lives of soldiers in the area.

None of this makes the slightest bit of sense.

====

Look at this (get your barf bag ready….):

The question really is:

Why is our own army and media so keen to ‘smear’ IDF soldiers across the whole international arena, who are literally giving their lives in Gaza?

While you are thinking about that, a friend of mine sent me a link to this story on Breitbart, entitled:

Report: Biden Administration Spying on Israel to Determine War Crimes

The hypocrisy of this is so enormous, it literally makes me nauseous.

This is the same USA that blew literally millions of Iraqis to kingdom come, totally flattened the country, sent them back to the stone age, and why? Apparently just to get rid of a single guy called ‘Saddam Hussein’….

Whatever.

====

But the point is, the State, the army, the State-controlled media – why are they making up fake stories about shooting innocent hostages dead in Gaza, and then making sure this fake story is amplified, and amplified, and amplified again?

Who does this benefit?

====

Let’s end with a look at what the anti-semites are saying – because in this upside-down world, you can often glean a lot of real facts from the ‘other side of the fence’ that help to clarify things.

This article was put up on the anti-semitic SOTT site:

Chris Hedges: The Death of Israel

Snippet:

[B]y the time Israel achieves its decimation of Gaza — Israel is talking about months of warfare — it will have signed its own death sentence. Its facade of civility, its supposed vaunted respect for the rule of law and democracy, its mythical story of the courageous Israeli military and miraculous birth of the Jewish nation, will lie in ash heaps.

Israel’s social capital will be spent. It will be revealed as an ugly, repressive, hate-filled apartheid regime, alienating younger generations of American Jews. Its patron, the United States, as new generations come into power, will distance itself from Israel the way it is distancing itself from Ukraine.

Its popular support, already eroded in the U.S., will come from America’s Christianized fascists who see Israel’s domination of ancient Biblical land as a harbinger of the Second Coming and in its subjugation of Arabs a kindred racism and white supremacy. 

====

This anti-semite is still buying the ridiculous story that the whole world is controlled by the jooooos!!!

Really…. the State was set up and planned, right from the start, by the satanic secret societies with xtian links, and if any nation got infiltrated by ‘the baddies’…. that nation is us. The Jewish people.

Here’s another snippet:

The shooting dead of three Israeli hostages who apparently escaped their captors and approached Israeli forces with their shirts off, waving a white flag and calling out for help in Hebrew is not only tragic, but a glimpse of Israel’s rules of engagement in Gaza. These rules are — kill anything that moves.

====

Guys like this are just loving the whole deal that now they can legitimately smear the whole of the country for being ‘fascists’ – based on things like this fake hostages story.

Because after WW2, the nations of the world can do anything they want to fascists, and fascist regimes – and the poor people who happen to live under them.

====

In the meantime, take a look at this ”punch line”, from the anti-semite writing above:

The Israeli scholar Yeshayahu Leibowitz warned that if Israel did not separate church and state and end its occupation of the Palestinians, it would give rise to a corrupt Rabbinate that would warp Judaism into a fascistic cult.

“Israel,” he said, “would not deserve to exist, and it will not be worthwhile to preserve it.”

====

Our worst enemies have always emerged from our own ranks.

There is nothing new under the sun.

(And take a look at the video the link on Leibowitz goes to. It’s very eye-opening, for a lot of different reasons.)

====

Tachlis, there is nothing to fear.

The klippa is being crushed, by the same people who set it up in the first place.

But the ‘fruit’ is still thriving, and will come through intact.

(After a lot of teshuva, soul-searching and more suffering….)

Speedily in our days, amen.

====

UPDATE:

In case you were wondering what’s required to build more tunnels in Gaza, that would be basically be steel, and concrete.

====

I’m sure even as I type this, that deliveries of ‘humanitarian concrete’ are already being ok’ayed for Gaza by our brave leaders.

====

Meanwhile, a two second look at the ‘Steel Orbis‘ site tells us what that ‘Consolidated Palestine Co’ who just got a massive load of steel shipped to them via Israeli ports is probably going to do with it:

====

Hmm, interesting.

When I’m trying to get a real address for this company, it actually shows up in Jericho.

But it says it got started in Ramallah and Gaza, back in the 1960s:

====

If you go to that companies ABOUT page, you’ll see they are actually headquartered in Jordan.

Here’s a snippet – it would be funny, if you didn’t know what so much of that concrete and steel is actually being used for:

HISTORY

For the past 60 years, the Hassouneh Family has been active in the field of Steel industry. During the 1960’s, Eldest of the family, while alive, Mr. Assad Hassouneh started a trading company for steel, cement, and other building materials in Palestine.

Moving forward, the son Mr. Yacoub Hassouneh being aware of the strategic significance of national steel industry for the Palestinian Economy and being devoted to his roots has successfully expanded the group to introduce and initiate various production facilities of steel products in Palestine for the first time.

====

Here’s a video of their ‘steel melt’ plant in Jordan.

====

So now, we have the question of questions.

Why is the steel currently headed for Gaza being shipped via Israeli ports, for a company headquartered in Jordan?

That still lists its plant in Jericho as being located in ‘Palestine’?

In the middle of a war?

When they are still finding new booby-trapped tunnels in Gaza every day, designed to kill and maim more of our soldiers?

====

Answers on a postcard.

Sadly for us, our whole country is crawling with them…

Here’s the continuation of the Rav’s shiur, that we started HERE.

Then meet me at the bottom for a couple more interesting intersections with ‘Greco-Roman snakes in Jerusalem’.

==

So the RAMBAN asks, what, the whole city deserved the death penalty?!

Yes, they [i.e. The people of Shechem] should have freed Dina themselves. Why did they need to wait until Shimon and Levi freed her – you free her!

But the RAMBAN says, who says that if they hadn’t have freed her…

The RAMBAM says in verse 9, halacha 14, if you didn’t free Dina – so you deserve the death penalty. Free her! You all saw what happened, it was done in broad daylight.

==

Now, the Hamas kidnapped 230 people.

There are 138 left, they need to be freed today. It’s impossible to continue on like this.

Everyone is obligated to travel to Gaza today, I don’t care, to free the captives. This is the first thing.

We learnt this from Parshat Vayeshev and Parshat Vayeshlach, that the first thing is to free Dina, to free the hostages.

Yosef was also kidnapped.

Yosef was also taken captive.

==

[Skipping some]

The smartphones, the i-Phones, the Xiomis, this is what is bringing the war, it’s bringing all the disaster right now.

That there are 1,500 murdered, and every day another ten are killed.

The war should have already been over a long time ago. It’s not finishing because the Xiomi – today, everyone is holding a Xiomi.

And already across the whole of Israel, they signed on this that its forbidden to have one. You see mamash naked people on it, mamash, it’s the biggest perversions.

==

Like the Greek culture, where naked people play soccer, and wrestle, and everyone just watches.

This is their whole purpose, to cause a person to sin, and to burn up his mind, so that he’ll never get out of gehinnom forever.

To turn the whole of planet earth into a swamp, into a place of debauchery.

Which was the objective of the Greeks, those people who have ‘culture’, so-called.

This is no ‘culture’!! It’s simply just about being snakes.

==

A person becomes transformed into a snake.

Slowly, slowly, he becomes transformed, if he has a smartphone, or has a Xiomi,or has an i-Phone.

He turns into a snake.

Because he’s [born] half-snake, and half-human being. The body of a person is the snake – ketonet or (a garment of skin)[1] – this is the snake.

The whole ketonet or – this is the snake.

==

Hashem dressed him [Adam HaRishon] in a ketonet or – this is the garment of the snake.

The snake shed its skin, cried out from one end of the world to the other, and then Hashem clothed the man in the body of the snake.

And each person is born with the body of ‘the snake’.

For the inclination of a man’s heart is evil from his youth.

A person goes looking for lewdness, goes looking for debauchery, goes looking for i-Phones, smartphones.

==

Now, the Xiomi is the new gadget, this is the new ‘find’.

It’s pretending to be a ‘kosher phone’, but really it has all the perversions – even more than the smartphones, and more than the i-Phones. The biggest perversions of all, that mean a person won’t get out of gehinnom ever.

Even a person who learns Torah….

He learns Torah with a smartphone in his pocket, or an i-Phone in his pocket, or a Xiomi in his pocket….He deserves the death sentence, at that very moment….

==

Suddenly, his kid is ill.

Suddenly, his wife is sick, and he doesn’t understand why. His father is ill, he doesn’t understand why.

Because, if a person goes along with an i-Phone, so then his father will become ill, because every father feels what is happening with his son.

==

The father needs to bring such kedusha (holiness) into the home, that his son won’t want to touch a smartphone.

He won’t want to even touch an i-Phone, and not a Xiomi – the child will be scared to even touch it, because the child will be abel to feel that it’s mamash tumah (a source of spiritual defilement), [akin to] excrement.

Just like he doesn’t touch excrement, and he doesn’t ‘swipe’ it all around, he doesn’t go to the toilet and smear the excrement all over his body – if a person has a Xiomi, or a smartphone, or an i-Phone, it’s like smearing excrement all over himself.

He’s totally covered in filth.

He can’t learn, he can’t pray, he can’t do anything.

He doesn’t get any life-force from anything.

==

So, we entered into the subject of Hannukah here.

The whole of Hannukah is about defeating the Greek culture – this is the whole of Hannukah!

This is the whole war of Yehuda – to defeat the culture of Greece, the stadium that was located in Jerusalem.

This was an Olympic stadium. This is where all the international games were held – it was all happening here!

Every competition, they held it in Jerusalem.

The Romans came here, and the Greeks – everyone!

To come and play in Jerusalem.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Bereishit 3:21

====

Ad kan, from the Rav.

A few weeks back, a reader sent me this:

Here are the links to the Israeli documentary about the p***phile ring in Jerusalem, now with English subtitles:
====
I had seen the first part in the original Hebrew, but hadn’t watched the second part, where there is much more of a discussion of who was closing down the police investigation into the systematic abuse of children in the chareidi world in Israel.
Both parts have now been put up with English subtitles.
If you are short on time, take a look at the second part, starting at the 30th minute.
Pay attention to the name of the person being mentioned by the Channel 13 reporter.
And now, watch this video of Jews dancing for the Pope, from 2017.
The exact year all this was going on, with the snakes in Jerusalem.
====

Think for yourself, how all this is connected.

If you’ve been reading the site for a while, it shouldn’t be too hard to start to figure it out.
====
The last thing to tell you, is that the same Bnei Brak Beis Din quoted by the Channel 13 reporter as handing down a ‘psak din’ that all the abuse was a hysterical figment of the abused children’s imagination, and should be ignored and brushed under the carpet….

….is the exact same ‘Beis Din’ that ‘excommunicated’ the Rav and Shuvu Banim.

Yet again, we see that the people who are publically ‘anti’ the Rav are ALWAYS on the wrong side of the argument.
The rule never fails.
