Shavua Tov!

I have some interesting translations from the Rav for you the next couple of days.

We’ll start with this, a continuation of the Rav’s comments to the CHUT SHEL CHESSED Yeshiva from the 9th of Cheshvan 5785 (November 9th, 2024).

(You can see the first excerpt of the Rav’s comments HERE).

====

I wanted to translate this bit, dafka, because recently there has been a discussion here on the blog about the difficulties of things like shmirat ha-eynayim and kedushat ha’brit.

And the Rav’s comments give a lot of chizzuk, and consolation – and also a reality check, that everyone struggles with this stuff all the time, and will continue to struggle until 120 years old….

And that’s the point.

And it doesn’t make them ‘bad’ – as long as they don’t give up.

Enjoy!

====

So, this is what the Heichal HaBracha explains, that this was the ‘laughter’ of Sara, that how was it that she was suddenly going to be a girl again?!

[Sarah said]

What, I’m going to be a girl?! I already left that behind! You are returning me to this?![1]

==

So, what did the Kedushat Yom Tov say, the rebbe from Sighet? This is the father of R’Yoel [Teltelbaum of Satmar].

In Chayei Sarah, he says that Hashem has enough angels. Hashem has billions of angels!

But, the whole matter after the sin of the Tree of Knowledge was to break this lust. This is the whole purpose of a human being.

Angels don’t need to fight against this ta’avah (lust). They don’t have ta’avah.

But man [does], after Adam HaRishon sinned with the Tree of Knowledge.

He said, and therefore, Adam HaRishon sinned with the Tree of Knowledge. He said [if there is no free choice to ‘sin’], there is absolutely no reward (i.e. for choosing good).

==

Here it is, [in the] Kedushat Yom Tov, this is the father of R’ Yoel, the Admor of Satmar.

This is his father, the rebbe from Sighet.

My mother was born in Sighet, we were Satmar chassidim.

I used to go along wearing 3/4 length trousers, until the age of 14, until I already started to be embarassed [by them]. But at the beginning, I wasn’t embarassed. I didn’t understand why they were laughing at me.

At age 14, I acquired a drop of intellect, and then I understood that…[text missing in original].

Up until then, I went along with 3/4 length pants, and with socks up to the knees. And that’s how it was until age 14.

==

So, the Kedushat Yom Tov explains that Hashem has enough angels….

==

The RAMBAM writes that a ‘chassid’ only refers to someone to someone who has no ta’avot (lusts) at all.[2]

It’s written Tzaddik Elyon (Upper Tzaddik) Tzaddik Tachton (Lower Tzaddik).

We complete the SHAS with 310 worlds[3], and we also finish Bava Metzia with 310 words.

[The Rav is about to explain what this means].

====

This is what the Semichat HaChachamim, R’ Naftali Katz says. 24th of Tevet will be his yahrtzeit.

So, he said that there is a Tzaddik Elyon, and Tzaddik Tachton, and between them, there is ‘YeReK’[4] (green / vegetable).

YeReK – this is 310 worlds.

How do we merit to 310 worlds? YeReK is 310 – how do we merit to this? How do we ‘pull up’ this YeReK?

==

So, R’ Meir says, this belongs to Elyon.

What is this, ‘Elyon’?

There is a Tzaddik who doesn’t have any ta’avot. He already left them all behind, like Rabbenu [Rebbe Nachman of Breslov]. He nullified everything.

But, there is a tzaddik who has to struggle with this until 120 years – with shmirat eynayim (guarding the eyes), and with not looking, and each time, the yetzer hara reawakens anew.

So, this is already the ‘Tzaddik Tachton’ (Lower Tzaddik).

==

So, R’ Meir comes and says that the YeReK, the 310 worlds, only the Tzaddik Elyon will merit to have this.

But who can become the ‘Tzaddik Elyon’?!

This is only Rabbenu (Rebbe Nachman), and on the eve of Rosh Hashana, he takes everyone across [to be signed in the book of merit].

==

[The Tzaddik Elyon], this is the Tzaddik from the aspect of Leah.

This is a Tzaddik who doesn’t have any ta’avot at all. He nullified all his lusts.

The Rebbe said, I had tests, and I had ta’avot – I nullified everything! To the point of [finding the known ta’avah] loathsome! I nullified it to the point of finding it disgusting!

The Rebbe never sat with his wife, just once on Seder Night.

==

And Rav Natan said, I passed by exactly [then], and I managed to see the Rebbe – how he glowed and blazed, and his face shone like the sun, on Seder Night.

So, the Rebbe totally nullified this, so the Rebbe is called the ‘Tzaddik Elyon’.

==

But what [do we say] about the Tzaddik HaTachton – the Lower Tzaddik?

This is the Tzaddik who struggles with this every day, and who tries to have shmirat ha’eynayim, and to not look on the street.

R’ Mathias walked along with open eyes. [He said] I don’t see anything!

He walked around Kiev, he guarded his eyes, someone went with him.

He said, I don’t see!

A person can be with their eyes open, and still see nothing! He doesn’t need ‘to see’. If his brain is busy with Torah and prayer, he doesn’t see anything.

==

So, to be without a yetzer hara (evil inclination) – this is only the angels.

Angels don’t have a yetzer hara.

So, the RAMBAM said that a true chassid has absolutely no inclination for evil.

[I.e. he’s a ‘Tzaddik Elyon’, like Rebbe Nachman]

But us? We need to break the yetzer hara!

All of our work is to fight against this yetzer hara, and to teach our women how to fight against it.

The women also want to fight against this.

This post is an answer to asd’s comment.

The Lazer Beams site is long gone now, but back on January 24th, 2012, R Brody wrote this:

“Rav Yehuda Zev Leibowitz of saintly and blessed memory was a Kabbalist and hidden tzaddik as well as a Holocaust survivor. Little is known of him, for he lived his life far away from spotlights. Yet, his word carried tremendous weight in the Heavenly realm.

What many don’t know is that he was one of Rav Shalom Arush‘s principle spiritual guides. Rav Yehuda Zev, a holy man with the eyes of a sonogram, could not stomach anything other than absolute holiness.

Many big rabbis were therefore afraid to approach him, for he could smell if they were the real deal or not. He loved Rav Shalom. He didn’t leave much in the physical world, but he bequeathed his tefillin to Rav Shalom.

====

Before he died, he told Rav Shalom three things, the first two of which have materialized:

1. Uprisings and infighting will sweep through the Arab countries;
2. Bibi will not be able to attack Iran; Hashem will use other means as He did with Sadaam Hussein.
3. I don’t want to repeat the third thing that Rav Yehuda Zev said, for it hasn’t materialized yet. But, I urge our cherished brothers and sisters outside of Israel to start praying and planning to make Aliya, the sooner the better.”

====

R Brody got a lot of flack for that post.

But by 2012, the ‘Arab Spring’ was in full force – and Bibi clearly didn’t have permission to attack Iran.

That is still the situation 12 years later….

====

So now, what was the last thing that R YEHUDA ZEV LEIBOWITZ said, before he died in 2009?

Let’s scoot over to the RavBerland.com site HERE, where we read this, in a post called ‘Tel Aviv Will Be Destroyed’, from October 6, 2017.

(It’s quoting R Aharon Stern, the son of the reknowned kabbalist from Bnei Brak, R Chaim Dovid Stern. R Aharon was one of R Leibowitz’s attendants, before he passed away in 2009:)

“I’d like to request just one on thing: that we should have achdut (unity) and love between us, which will bring us the geula (redemption).

Before his death, Rav Leibowitz ordered me to make the following announcement about America, so I repeat this every opportunity I get.

He told me that the anti-Semitism in the United States is only going to continue to grow, until it gets to the point where the Jews will be forced to flee. We can also see how the forces of nature are going crazy there, and this is because we see how the people there are overturning everything, and no longer know who is their abba and who is their ima….

“The same is true in Tel Aviv, which is why Rav Leibowitz told me:

‘YOU SHOULD KNOW, TEL AVIV WILL BE DESTROYED.’

====

“Moranu Rav Berland, shlita, is fighting against the head of the snake, in direct combat. Rav Berland is gouging out its eyes, and he’s taking upon himself all our troubles.

I heard from my teacher and father, shlita, who told me: ‘I’m scared… I don’t know how Rav Berland is doing this!

There is no other rabbi in Israel, there is no other rosh yeshiva in Israel, there is no other rebbe or admor in Israel who knows how Rav Berland, shlita, is able to fight this war, and to fight against the head of the snake itself,” concluded Rav Aharon Stern.

====

These comments are from seven years ago.

BH, the Rav has been sweetening so very much, and that process of ‘sweetening’ is ongoing.

With the massive wave of teshuva now happening in Israel, it’s possible that ‘Tel Aviv Won’t Be Destroyed’ after all.

To my knowledge, the Rav hasn’t talked about Tel Aviv being destroyed – although he does talk a lot about Jerusalem being the safest place in the country – and the world! – for Jews.

And that for sure is what we are seeing and experiencing over the last year, where no rockets have got to Jerusalem.

====

But when it comes to making aliyah?

The Rav has been mentioning that Jews need to move to Israel for years.

This article – one of so many – is from April 20th, 2020, HERE:

Snippet:

The whole inyan is to nullify the sin of the spies, and to ascend to Eretz Yisrael.

They [the spies] said, what are you talking about, to make aliyah to Eretz Yisrael! What are you saying?! We are going to wait for the Moshiach. For they didn’t know that by way of their coming to the aretz (land of Israel), they would bring the Moshiach.

IF EVERYONE WOULD COME TO THE ARETZ, THEN TODAY MOSHIACH WOULD IMMEDIATELY COME!

The whole inyan is that today, Moshiach will come. At this moment, Moshiach will come, in this second, Moshiach will come. On Seder Night, it’s possible to bring the Moshiach.

If everyone would have made aliya to Eretz Yisrael, then immediately the Moshiach would have come.

Everyone needs to make aliyah to Eretz Yisrael, we need to return everyone to here, great and small, as one. Rabbanim, Admorim and Chassidim – everyone needs to ascend to Eretz Yisrael.

====

(At the bottom of this post, I’ll stick up the Rav’s prayer from 2019, to make aliyah easily.)

The Rav has been encouraging people to move to Israel for years, already….

People don’t like to hear it.

But, if God wants His people back in His country…. then one way or another, God will arrange things so that happens.

====

BH, the part we have to understand, is that geula coming the hard way, or the ‘sweet way’, really depends on us, and our teshuva.

If people refuse to get Hashem’s hints about what He wants them to work on, fix and change, then Hashem doesn’t give up. He just makes those ‘hints’ louder….and louder….and louder….

I know it’s very hard for some people to make aliyah, even though they really do want to.

Those people are a tiny minority of the Jews in chul.

Most Jews in chul, even today, aren’t even thinking about moving to Israel.

Do you think God is going to give up on those people?

Or maybe, is God going to start turning the heat up with ‘mass deportation’ laws that can be applied to any ‘undesirable’ so designated by the United States?

====

Ultimately, we get to Israel with a lot of prayer and humility, as a gift.

I’m not pretending that ‘I got to Israel’ thanks to my own amazingness. Simply, God sent me a bunch of nightmares that were so bad, that after the third one I woke up and told my husband we were selling the house and moving to Israel….

That’s how we got here.

Really, totally chasdei Hashem.

Here’s the Rav’s prayer:

====

====

BS”D

A Prayer to Come to Eretz Yisrael

TO MERIT COMING TO ERETZ YISRAEL WITHOUT LOSING ANYTHING. TO SELL EVERYTHING FOR ITS FULL VALUE. AND MAY I MERIT LEAVING THE DEFILEMENT OF THE LAND OF THE NATIONS THAT WE ARE IMMERSED IN. AND MAY WE SMASH ALL OF THE OBSTACLES THAT ARE MOSTLY OBSTACLES OF THE MIND.

Master of the World, who can do everything. Merit me to go up to Eretz Yisrael with sublime self-sacrifice. That I leave all of the property and all of the belongings that I have outside of Eretz Yisrael. That I not leave anything over, that I not leave any remembrance.

Rather, I should sell everything as quick as possible at full value, and not lose even one pruta by moving to Eretz Yisrael. And may I not incur any other damages by moving to Eretz Yisrael.

==

For we have no more strength to stay in exile, in chutz la’aretz, even for one second.

We want to go up to the land of our forefathers, that you gave to our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov, “The land flowing with milk and honey”.

For Eretz Yisrael is holier than any other land in the world.

“And Hashem Your G-d chose her over all other precious things in the world.”

Please, Hashem, merit me to go up to Eretz Yisrael with self-sacrifice,

“And bring us to Your Holy Mountain.”

For we have no more strength to stay in chutz la’aretz, but on the other hand we’ve been here for so long, in the defilement of the land of the nations, and we have no idea how to free ourselves from it.

Now we are turning to You, with humble kneeling and prostration:

Help us, Hashem our G-d, to come to Eretz Yisrael in the blink of an eye! And help us to break all of the obstacles, and all of the postponements, for the main obstacle is in the mind.   

====

PS: Apparently, we have a cease fire in place as of today with ‘Hezbollah’ – who even is left to sign that agreement, no-one knows – that’s going to lead to the creation of a buffer zone between Israel and Lebanon, exactly where those massive oil fields were found, plus a ‘Palestinian State’.

Oh, and ‘peace in the Middle East’.

Dontcha know?

Trump is very excited about it….

It’s the deal of the century – at least, for all the Evils waiting to exploit those oil reserves and keep humanity in a perpetual state of subservience to them.

(And let’s not talk about the Jewish Problem…. and how all this connects directly back to ‘solving’ that, as well.)

God isn’t going to let this happen, of course.

And then, Trump will get very upset.

====

PPS: And this is how they use the Jews as the scapegoat, when introducing ‘laws’ that are clearly just aimed at suppressing free speech and human rights:

This is why “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act” is worst ever made unconstitutional law and how it is outlawing the Gospel and Bible literally

Excellent explanation by Matt Walsh don’t skip pic.twitter.com/jpqi9wyInA

====

Take the rose-tinted glasses off, understand that the USA is made up of way more xtians than Jews.

And then understand how this ‘Anti-Semitism Awareness Act’ has been carefully designed to boomerang back on the Jewish community in the USA, and to cause way more anti-semitism – whilst also clamping down on free speech.

This is exactly what started the violence against Jews in the 19th century across Europe, when ‘Jewish emancipation’ legislation imposed from the top down stoked the worst, violently anti-semitic, attacks and pogroms seen for decades.

There is nothing new under the sun.

 

Freemasons and Bordeaux Marranos – the beginnings of secular ‘emancipation’.

OK, welcome back to the second part of the series on THE JEWISH PROBLEM.

In the first part, we set out how the nations of the world have always seen their Jewish populations as a ‘problem’, or a ‘threat’, that needed resolving or neutralising.

And the three options open to do that were:

ASSIMILATION / CONVERSION

EXPULSION

ASSASSINATION / GENOCIDE

==

Up until the end of the 18th century, ‘assimilation’ basically was equivalent to ‘conversion’. Either to xtianity, or to Islam.

There were no secular people, tachlis, until the masons began their assault against the Torah and organised religion in earnest, beginning in the mid-to-late 1700s.

But all that really changed when the FRENCH REVOLUTION exploded, in 1789.

==

If you are like most people, you probably have no  idea what the French Revolution really was, what it was trying to accomplish, who was running it – or it’s impact on Torah-based religion generally, and the Jews, specifically.

So in this post, we’re going to start filling in more of those gaps.

Let’s begin.

==

The first place to start, for an overview, is Wikipedia, HERE, the page entitled ‘Freemasonry in France’.

Here’s a few brief snippets, to give the flavor:

In the 18th century Paris and Lyon were the two major centers of the French Freemasonry. Each of them hosted more than 20 lodges.

Until the mid 20th century, the history of Freemasonry was excluded from classic-style history syllabi in universities.

==

What we learn from this is that FREEMASONRY was all over France in the lead up to the French revolution – but ‘official academia’ decided to totally scrub any info about masonry out of the history books.

Here’s another historical snippet:

According to a tradition dating to 1777, the first Masonic lodge in France was founded in 1688 by the Royal Irish Regiment of Foot Guards, (later known as the Regiment of Walsh of the famed Irish Brigade of France) which followed James II of England into exile, under the name “La Parfaite Égalité” of Saint-Germain-en-Laye….

The first lodge whose existence is historically certain was founded by some Englishmen in Paris “around the year 1725”.

==

There is a big link up between the catholic monarch of England and Scotland, James II, who was deposed and exiled to France, and the masons.

To cut a long story short, French masonry was initially run by expat English masons, still connected to the apron strings of the ‘Grand Lodge of London’. In 1738, the ‘Grand Lodge of London’ became the ‘Grand Lodge of England’ – and at that point, French masonry started to take on its own ‘national’ flavor.

(But still based on occult satanic-esoteric rites and beliefs….)

==

Beginning in 1737, the activity of the French masons started to attract public and royal attention.

Masons were arrested. Masons were investigated. Masons were even sentenced to prison.

Snippet:

The year 1738 also saw the condemnation of Freemasonry in the papal bull In eminenti apostolatus of Pope Clement XII…..French Freemasonry was mainly Catholic in composition, including several priests, and remained so until the French Revolution.

==

Now, we’re up to the latter half of the 18th century, approaching the French Revolution in 1789.

Where we learn this:

In 1771, Louis Philippe d’Orléans (1747-1793) succeeded the comte de Clermont as grandmaster.

Under his authority and with the support of the provincial lodges for action against the hegemony of the lodges in Paris, the Grande Loge de France was re-organised and in 1773 changed its name to the Grand Orient de France, which accounted for 600 lodges.

==

There’s a lot more relevant detail on that Wiki page, but this is the bottom line, for our purposes today:

Free Masonry was HUGE in pre-revolutionary France, and many, many writers trace a straight line between (satanic, anti-God) masonry, and the French Revolution.

==

Now, let’s bottom-out a few of these links, in real time.

All these people were leading masons, and leading revolutionaries:

Louis Phillipe Duc d’Orleans – Grand Master of French masonry, instigator of the French Revolution – and a close friend of the ‘Bad Baal Shem’ of London, Samuel Chaim FALK, who is said to give the Duc D’Orleans a magic ring.

Mirabeau – big friend of Benjamin Franklin, and also a leader of the French Revolution.

Choderlos de Laclos – author of ‘Dangerous Liasons’, French Brigadier-General and diplomat for the Duc D’Orleans

Rouget de l’Isle – who wrote the French national anthem, “La Marseillaise“.

Lafayette – Led the Siege of Yorktown under his fellow-mason George Washington. Plus, he helped to write the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen with a bit of help from fellow-mason Thomas Jefferson.

Napoleon Bonaparte also makes his brother, JOSEPH BONAPARTE, the Grand Master of the Grand Orient de France in 1804.

==

Wiki wants to say that Napoleon Bonaparte himself wasn’t a mason, but this isn’t true.

Over on the Freemasonrywatch site, the authors tell us this:

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was initiated into Army Philadelphe Lodge in 1798. His brothers, Joseph, Lucian, Louis and Jerome, were also Freemasons. Five of the six members of Napoleon’s Grand Councel of the Empire were Freemasons, as were six of the nine Imperial Officers and 22 of the 30 Marshals of France.

==

Remember Philippe Duc D’Orleans, mentioned above, the masonic ‘Grand Master’ of France?

Here’s some more information about his role in the French Revolution:

Secret society researcher and author Nesta H. Webster was even more pointed, writing in 1924, “[The Masonic book A Ritual and Illustrations of Freemasonry] contains the following passage, ‘The Masons… originated the Revolution with the infamous Duke of Orleans at their head.'”….

[T]he Duke of Orleans, grand master of the Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons… reportedly bought all the grain in 1789 and either sold it abroad or hid it away, thus creating near starvation among commoners.

==

(If you got to Nesta Webster’s Wiki page HERE, you’ll find she was associated with British fascists and the Grand Lodge of England, and liked to blame everything on the jooooos – even while writing about the masons. It seems there was a ‘war’ going on between ‘Continental Freemasonry’ and ‘Grand Lodge of England’ masonry. So as always, we take everything with a pinch of salt, because it’s impossible for us to bottom out ‘the truth’ as much as we would like.)

====

Nevertheless, Webster suggests that the French peasants weren’t starving stam.

And that the ‘starvation’ – the economic collapse that preceded the French Revolution – was carefully planned by the Freemasons.

I tend to believe this, simply because:

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

They have pulled the same trick with organising ‘economic collapses’ many times since then – and we’re currently in the middle of their latest attempt to collapse the world’s social order entirely and take over, via what can only be called ‘economic warfare’.

==

Nesta Webster also stated that the infamous ‘Storming of the Bastille’ was staged and paid for by the masonic revolutionaries.

They imported some hired thugs from the South, and paid them to ‘storm the Bastille’.

Think what happened in the aftermath of George Floyd, and the ‘Black Lives Matter’ riots.

Think what we’ve seen with all the ‘climate anarchists’.

Think how we see this same modus operandi being played out again and again and again – including here in Israel.

==

And the point is – the masons, or to be more precise, the ‘Illuminised Masonry’, were acting from a place of religious principle.

That site quotes what one of the leading French revolutionaries, Honre-Gabriel Riquetti, the Comte de Mirabeau, wrote in his personal papers.

He calls for all order and laws to be overthrown, and to:

“leave the people in anarchy.”

He said the public must be promised “power to the people” and lower taxes but never given real power “for the people as legislators are very dangerous as they only establish laws which coincide with their passions.”

He said the clergy should be destroyed by “ridiculing religion.”

This is exactly what happened.

And it’s still happening today.

==

BTW, we will get to more of the Jewish side of things in the next part of this series, but check out this post, for some of the connections between Mirabeau and the ‘enlightened’ Freemason-Frankists of Mendelssohn’s Berlin:

https://thinkforyourselfpublishing.com/more-masons-maskilim-and-mozart/

==

Meanwhile, the masonic revolution quickly descended into the bloodbath that was called ‘the Reign of Terror’.

Hundreds of thousands of people were sent to the guillotine – including Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVII.

‘Official history’ pretends that the chaos just kind of happened by itself. I tend to disagree.

The British fascist Nesta Webster writes:

“Behind the Conventions, behind the clubs, behind the Revolutionary Tribunal, there existed… that most secret convention which directed everything… an occult and terrible power of which the other Convention became the slave and which was composed of the prime initiates of Illuminanism.”

==

If you to go THIS page on the Freemasonry Watch site, you’ll find a detailed essay about how the French Revolution was planned and unfurled, written in 1939 by a catholic cleric, Rev. Reginald F. Walker

He says this:

The Revolution may be said to have begun with the establishment of the National or Constituent Assembly (17th June, 1789). This government was succeeded by the Legislative Assembly (October, 1791), which in turn gave place to the National Convention (1792-1795). After the National Convention came the Directory and Napoleon Bonaparte who brought the French Revolution to a close (1815).

.... Laws were passed [in every stage] which struck first at the Catholic priesthood and the religious life (the first victims of every satanic attack on the Church), private ownership and family life; the Christian calendar with its festivals, old and new, was abolished; churches and shrines were horribly profaned.

Lastly, a veritable campaign of extermination was entered upon against both clergy and faithful, thousansd of whom perished together in the September Massacres of 1792 and the Reign of Terror (1793), or passed from life entombed in dungeons of death.

==

In our superficial world, we speed-read everything, if at all, and so miss the crucial information that is hidden in plain view.

At the time of the French Revolution, satanic freemasonry became the official ‘religion’ of Napoleon’s France.

Let’s see what that actually meant, in practise, for the rest of this post. And then in the next post, we’ll see what that actually meant for the Jewish communities, that were part of Napoleon’s Empire.

==

This snippet comes from the Wiki page on the CULT OF REASON:

The Cult of Reason (French: Culte de la Raison) was France’s first established state-sponsored atheistic religion, intended as a replacement for Roman Catholicism during the French Revolution.

After holding sway for barely a year, in 1794 it was officially replaced by the rival deistic Cult of the Supreme Being, promoted by Robespierre.

==

Wiki continues, about the CULT OF REASON, Revolutionary France’s official ‘state-sponsored atheistic religion’, like this:

The Cult encompassed various elements of anticlericalism, including subordination of priests to secular authority, wealth confiscation from the Church, and doctrinal heresies both petty and profound.

It was atheistic, but celebrated different core principles according to locale and leadership: most famous was Reason, but others were Liberty, Nature, and the victory of the Revolution.

==

One more snippet, on what this atheistic religious ‘cult’ was actually worshipping:

In the manner of conventional religion, it encouraged acts of congregational worship and devotional displays to the ideal of Reason.

A careful distinction was always drawn between the rational respect of Reason and the veneration of an idol:

“There is one thing that one must not tire telling people,” Momoro explained, “Liberty, reason, truth are only abstract beings. They are not gods, for properly speaking, they are part of ourselves.”

==

Or to put this another way, this was the worship of human ‘rationalism’, and of the human being itself.

It’s not hard to see the seamless segue into ‘SAINT SIMONISM’, which sets up ‘science’ as the deity to be worshipped, and ‘scientists’ as the saints and high priests.

==

Meanwhile, these hypocritical, bloodthirsty, satanic ‘atheists’ go around France killing anyone who opposes them, abolishing the seven day week, outlawing marriage – and turning churches into ‘Temples of the Cult of Reason’.

Mamash.

Here’s an illustration – the title tells you everything you need to know:

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg turned into a Temple of Reason, depicted in 1794.

(It looks like the middle figure is treading on the terribly mutilated body of someone up on the stage… sick.)

==

And here’s an account of what was going on in these Temples of idolatry, mamash, all in the name of ‘REASON’ (or as we’d probably term it today, ‘RATIONALISM’), where they even had a ‘feast day’ called the ‘CEREMONY of REASON’, held on November 10th.[3]

In ceremonies devised and organised by Chaumette, churches across France were transformed into modern Temples of Reason. The largest ceremony of all was at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.

The Christian altar was dismantled and an altar to Liberty was installed and the inscription “To Philosophy” was carved in stone over the cathedral’s doors.

Festive girls in white Roman dress and tricolor sashes milled around a costumed Goddess of Reason who “impersonated Liberty”. A flame burned on the altar which was symbolic of truth.

To avoid statuary and idolatry, the Goddess figures were portrayed by living women, and in Paris the role was played by Momoro’s wife, Sophie, who is said to have dressed “provocatively”…

==

In other words, they were licentious, lewd gatherings of satanic idol worship, mamash.

And this was the ‘official state religion’ of revolutionary France.

Here’s another contemporary image, of the ‘Festival of Reason’ being celebrated in the former church known as Notre Dame, in 1793:

Until 1794, when another satanic arch-hypocrite, Robespierre, announced he was setting up his own ‘deistic’ religion, called THE CULT OF THE SUPREME BEING.

==

Before we continue, let’s define what DEISM actually is, because you would be amazed how many of the leading figures in history over the last 250 years professed themselves ‘deists’.

HERE is a basic definition of DEISM:

Deism is the belief in the existence of God—often, but not necessarily, an impersonal and incomprehensible God who does not intervene in the universe after creating it, solely based on rational thought without any reliance on revealed religions or religious authority.

Deism emphasizes the concept of natural theology—that is, God’s existence is revealed through nature.

==

Again, it’s so easy to see how this morphs into SAINT SIMONISM and the religion of scientific atheism that is the polar opposite of the simple emuna taught by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.

But that’s a post for another time.

==

Let’s get back to the French Revolution

OK, so when he’s not chopping the heads off of literally hundreds of thousands of people, Robespierre is getting all upset that the CULT of REASON has left any idea of God behind while celebrating their rational and reasonable orgies of debauchery.

So he makes up his own religion.

Snippet from Wiki HERE:

Devised almost entirely by Robespierre, the Cult of the Supreme Being was authorized by the National Convention on 7 May 1794 as the civic religion of France…..

==

Here’s what was said at that National Convention:

• The French People recognize the existence of the Supreme Being and the Immortality of the Soul.

• They declare that the best service of the Supreme Being is the practice of man’s duties.

• They set among the most important of these duties the detestation of bad faith and tyranny, by punishing tyrants and traitors, by caring for the unfortunate, respecting the weak, defending the oppressed, doing unto others all the good one can, and not being unjust towards anyone.

==

Meanwhile:

[Robespierre] dedicated festivals to the Supreme Being, to Truth, Justice, Modesty, Friendship, Frugality, Fidelity, Immortality, Misfortune, etc.

==

All while he’s merrily chopping the heads off of thousands of people and enforcing bloody tyranny across France….

Ah, these ‘humanist’, ‘rational’, ‘enlightened’ evil hypocrites.

==

Here’s a contemporary illustration of the ‘festival day’ Robespierre meticulously planned for his new cult, in 1794:

====

Even at the time, people were whispering that the power-hungry Robespierre had set up his new religion because he was angling for the job of being its main deity….

On the ‘festival day’ itself, according to Wiki:

Robespierre delivered two speeches in which he emphasised his concept of a Supreme Being: there would be no Christ, no Mohammed.

==

All this was happening in 1794.

Ask yourself – where did all this leave the Jews, living in revolutionary France and the other parts of Napoleon’s empire?

==

Meanwhile, fast forward to April 8, 1802, when Napoleon is trying to consolidate his empire, and his place as French Emperor, by developing a more ‘moderate’ form of satanic atheism.

That’s when the Cult of Reason and the Cult of the Supreme Being are officially ‘banned’ in France.

And then, Napoleon spends the next three years trying to figure out how the satanic masons can achieve their goals to ‘ban God’ and Torah-based morality more gently and slowly, to avoid the huge amount of ‘pushback’ they got during the French Revolution.

==

We will pick the story back up there – returning to Napoleon’s ‘Sanhedrin’, and how it was always just meant to be a trojan horse to introduce new ‘halachot’ into the Jewish communities with the goal of destroying Judaism from within.

AKA: ‘rational Judaism’. AKA: ‘reform Judaism’.

Until then.

====

PS: This is list of churches the French Revolutionary masons turned into ‘Temples of Reason”:

• the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral (10 November 1793)
• the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres
• the Church of Saint-Sulpice
• the Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis
• the Basilica of Saint-Denis
• the church of Les Invalides
• the church of Thomas d’Aquino
• the Panthéon de Paris
• the Church Saint Pierre from Montmartre
• the Cathedral of Our Lady of Reims
• the Troyes Cathedral
• the Notre Dame de Versailles Church
• the Église Saint-Pierre de Caen
• the Église Saint-Martin d’Ivry-la-Bataille
• the Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur-et-Saint-Christophe d’Houdan
• the Church of St. James on Coudenberg

==

And what was the motto of this satanic, atheistic religion?

This “religion” was supposed to be universal and to spread the ideas of the revolution, summarized in its “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” motto, which was also inscribed on the Temples.

====

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Remember, R Kessin gave a whole, lengthy ‘shiur’ about how fantastic the American Declaration of Rights is. It’s a satanic, anti-Torah, Freemason creation. Perhaps, someone should tell him that.

[2]Another researcher of masons quoted on the site is an author named BRAMLEY, who wrote: Author Bramley wrote, ” The Jacobin Club, which was the radical nucleus of the French revolutionary movement, was founded by prominent Freemasons.”…

[3] The revolutionary French masons actually outlawed the so-called ‘xtian’ calendar, and introduced a new one with new months, new names and new calculations of weeks and months.

It was called THE FRENCH REPUBLICAN CALENDAR, and was in use for around 12 years.

Snippet:

The calendar consisted of twelve 30-day months, each divided into three 10-day cycles similar to weeks, plus five or six intercalary days at the end to fill out the balance of a solar year.

It was designed in part to remove all religious and royalist influences from the calendar, and it was part of a larger attempt at dechristianization and decimalisation in France (which also included decimal time of day, decimalisation of currency, and metrication).

It was used in government records in France and other areas under French rule, including Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Malta, and Italy.

====

10 day cycles meant there was no place for a ‘Sabbath’ – either Jewish, or xtian.

This was just one of the many religious ‘wars’ the enlightened, ‘rationalist’ masons were fighting against the Torah.

But of course, it wasn’t the only one.

TBC

Shavua Tov!

The Rav has been saying some very interesting things the last couple of weeks.

This is a translation from Shivivei Or 384, published this week.

====

Shiur that was given Melavah Malka, motzash, Vayeira, 16th Cheshvan,5785 (November 16, 2024)

So we’re reading Chayei Moharan, Chapter 73.

The Rebbe says that we need to bash our heads against the wall. This is not simple, ‘that the Tzaddik forgives all of the sins.’

This is only if a person makes real teshuva!

The Tzaddik helps a person to make teshuva and to truly regret, and to not return to his foolishness – “like a dog that returns to its vomit a fool returns to his evil ways”. (Mishlei 26:11)

He eats his own vomit! He throws up, and then he eats his own vomit.

==

A person who comes to the Tzaddik, so the Rebbe says it’s already a sin that you are doing a sin. [I.e. that a person carries on doing an aveira.]

It’s impossible to do another aveira, because of the great light [of Rebbe Nachman].

It’s like it says in the first line of Mesillat Yesharim, that a person was created to enjoy Hashem.

==

So now we’re learning in our parsha, we’re learning about the agreement between Avraham and Avimelech.

This is a very important agreement. Just like there is the ‘Abraham Accords’ with the Emirates, so too, there is the ‘Avraham-Avimelech Agreement’….

What did Avraham give? What bribe? How much did he give?

Seven sheep!

(It’s not written in every chumash, I know that.)

Seven sheep!

==

The Midrash Rabba[1] says three things:

Seven sheep [that Avraham gave to Avimelech] – this was seven souls.

The souls of Shimshon HaGibbor, and Shaul, and his three sons. How many is this altogether? Five. Hophni and Pinchas[2] is another two, which makes seven.

These are the most holy souls, the sons of Eli, the mishkan.

After this, the mishkan was destroyed, and they took the Aron HaKodesh [the Plishtim], and all this happened because he gave seven sheep.

And Eli fell off the chair [and he died], at the age of 98. He broke his neck, and the mishkan in the wilderness was destroyed. And in Shiloh, and in Gilgal – this is three, and Nov and Givon, this is five.

And the two Temples – this makes seven in total.

==

Because he gave the sheep to Avimelech, the two Temples were destroyed.

And also the Aron [HaKodesh] was with the Plishtim for seven months. And Goliath took the luchot (two tablets).

All of this happened because Avraham gave the sheep to Avimelech.

Every movement….[every movement the Patriarchs made had deep and lasting implications for their descendents.]

==

A person is forbidden to make any agreement with reshaim(evildoers), with goyim (the nations, non-Jews).

Because the goyim just steal everything. Because the agreement between Avraham and Avimelech meant that Avimelech was able to steal Abraham’s wells.

And for Abraham, it was forbidden to steal the wells of Avimelech.

Because Avraham dug wells. Every day, he dug a new well.

==

It’s written in the Avot de Rabbi Natan, chapter six, that “he planted a tree at Beer Sheva[3]” at every crossroads, and at every turn in the world.

Even in Abu Dhabi, even in Doha, even in Qatar.

At every turn, at every corner of the world where Abraham arrived, he built an eshel there, and he dug wells there.

And once, there wasn’t water, there wasn’t pipes. There was one well for the whole desert.

==

Hagar went for three days in the wilderness, and she didn’t see a well.

And then Hashem opened her eyes. They went three days to find some well – this is called ‘a mirage’.

Because Korach said [regarding the miracles that Moshe did] all this is a mirage!

This all happened because just like some person imagines they see a well [in the desert]– so there wasn’t a sea at all![4]

==

The men believed him [i.e. Korach] but the women didn’t believe him.

Because the women are [as straight as] a ruler. A woman doesn’t get ‘persuaded’.

It’s written in the Midrash Rabba Chapter 18, that the men were ‘persuaded’, but not the women. The women….

The men believed Korach.

They believed the spies. They said ‘all of this was a mirage.’

They believed in the Calf, that the Calf was part of the merkavah (the Divine Chariot), as the Ramban says, [that they said that] this Calf is the Ox of the merkavah!

The women said, ‘we’re not interested at all!!!’

“You shall not make a graven image for yourself, and no image of anything that is in the heavens above, or on the earth below.”[5]

==

‘In the heavens above’ – this also includes the ma’aseh hamerkavah.

Therefore, no women died in the desert. No woman died, for a period of 40 years. 60 myriads of men died [600,000]. All the women became widows.

Every Tisha B’Av, the children came and dug a pit for their father, wailing and crying throughout the camp – 158,820 orphans. More than 150,000 orphans.

15,000 women were widowed,[6] because the women should have given their husbands a kick – so that he wouldn’t go to the dancing [around the Golden Calf].

He would say, it’s only dancing! I’m only going to see the dancing! It’s a dancing show.

==

Today they said they are going to launch 1,000 drones.

So, we’re asking everyone to go up on their roof, and to grab a few drones, so that we’ll be able to travel tonight to Uman.

But on condition that everyone returns for vatikin [the dawn minyan].

Then, bezrat Hashem, at 12am, they are intending to send 1,000 drones here. Everyone should stand on their roof – there are a lot of roofs here. And everyone will try to grab one.

And after this, if Khomeni wants them back, I’ll sort that out for him.

We’ll go to the Hague with him, we’ll make some new agreement, the ‘Agreement of Avraham-Khomeni’, to return the drones.

==

The women didn’t transgress in any of the sins.

No woman died in the wilderness during the 40 years – only the men.

But the woman who didn’t stop their husbands from going to Korach still ended up as widows.

This is what Rabbenu says in Sefer HaMiddot about the subject of niuf (immorality), number 30, that the whole redemption will only be in the redemption of the women.

In the merit of the women who guard themselves, and keep tznius.

And every daughter [girl / woman] when she goes home, she should lengthen her dress immediately, within five minutes. In five minutes, you can lengthen a dress.

==

For two months, the Rav hasn’t spoken [about the importance of tznius].

He wasn’t here for a month, and another month, it was the chagim. The Rav didn’t want to speak about this during the chagim.

Every girl needs to go and lengthen [her clothes down] to the ankle, without exceptions.

And to do it as soon as she gets home tonight, immediately.

And bezrat Hashem, we’ll merit the complete redemption, speedily within our days, Amen.

What did you take away from the Rav’s comments, from last motzash?

I took away that everything that is going on right now is just angling for control of the natural resources in the Middle East – including things like the Tamar gas fields on the coast, and the new petroleum finds in the Golan.

All this ‘war’ boils down to natural resources, being exploited by the West.

With the various masonic mafias just duking it out, to see who gets the biggest share of the natural resources ‘pie’.

==

The other thing I took away from this, is that the Iranians are the last people ‘sending drones’ into Israel.

While we’re on the subject of fake ordinance, have a look at this tweet from Dmitry Medvedev:

So, that’s what you wanted?
Well, you’ve damn well got it!

====

Just one problem – nothing is exploding.

If this is meant to be Russia’s ‘big weapon’, well, whoopee-do, colour me massively underwhelmed by its destructive capacity….

Of course, that’s not what the masonic-controlled media is saying, as they try to whip everyone who still takes them seriously (like, two-and-a-half people) into a frenzy of terror and panic.

Like this, screenshot of the translated headline from Ynet tonight:

====

Whatever.

Ooooo, this just in from our special correspondent, who has apparently heard of an even bigger, even scarier weapon being released by Dr Evil in the West:

====

Watch out for Dr Evil, world!

And his badass moon lasers.

Whatever.

====

PS: A little while after I wrote this, it struck me that the ‘most real’ weapons in this post is actually the lasers, or to give them their proper name, Directed Energy Weapons.

That’s why you only see energy-weapon lasers in Hollywood movies.

And also, why you only see ballistic rockets and ‘nukes’ in the news….

Yesterday, I went to the ‘flat earth’ conference in Kfar Saba.

I had the best time.

Not only because so many of the presentations were really well thought-out and interesting, but really even more, because there was a ‘vibe’ of wanting to know what’s true that came off the crowd, palpably.

And most of that crowd don’t self-define as ‘orthodox Jews’. 

I would say maybe 10-15% of the crowd were obviously observant yesterday, out of around 300 people.

The biggest minority seemed to be 50 and 60-something bald-headed ‘secular guys’, from what I could see.

====

Why am I writing about ‘flat earth’, when ap-pa-re-nt-ly the world is standing on the cusp of ‘nuclear war’?

(Yawn).

Because once you get that the Torah is true, and that there is a solid rakia – a firmament – probably no more than 100 km above our heads, you understand that there are no ‘long range ballistic missiles’ being fired at Russia.

Whatever we’re being told in the lying, masonic media.

==

And once you get that people never landed on the moon, and that NASA is an excuse to pay hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to the elite criminals who run our world – while they put on hollywood productions of chubby actors pretending to be astronauts spending months ‘in space’ (puh-leese!) – then you start to understand that most of what we’re being told in ‘the news’ is just manipulation and lies.

And then, the soul starts to struggle free from all the ‘brainwashing’ and all the manipulation.

And the person starts to wake up.

And they start to get way more humble, way more real, and way nicer.

And that’s when they also start to accept that the world was created, and there is a Creator who is organising and arranging everything around them.

Nothing is ‘random’.

Nothing is ‘chance’, or coincidence.

And everything is 100% from Hashem, designed by Hashem, and in the hands of Hashem to turn around for the very best.

====

That was the ‘vibe’ I got from yesterday’s conference, and it filled me with a lot of optimism for the future.

So, if you want to learn more about how the world is definitely, undeniably stationary, regardless of what ‘shape’ it is (because no-one really can answer that question, scientifically, as no-one has ever been into ‘outer space’….) here’s what I recommend you do:

Go HERE, and watch the Flat Earth in 5 minutes video (skip the first 30 seconds, for shmirat eynayim issues).

==

It’s a side point, but it’s amazing to me how many of these videos in English are kind of ‘out of reach’ for the observant Jewish world who wants to guide their eyes,  and / or their ears from hearing expletives.

The stuff in Hebrew, like Matan Gorodish, is way, way cleaner to interact with, so if you understand even basic Hebrew, go HERE instead, to his Youtube channel.

You can see many, but not all of the presentations from yesterday’s conference.

But see what takes your fancy.

And then to top that off, go and read this:

====

You know what, let’s put the video from April 2024 of R Elmaliach back up here, too, it’s still so, so relevant:

====

Snippet:

Rav Elmaliach explains that the Rav wrote this down at 11pm at night, after he’d given a shiur from the balcony after the evening prayers.

And Rav Berland wrote:

“We don’t need to be scared of the Iranians, it’s all sleight-of-hand / deception.”

Rav Elmaliach then says himself there is a Tzaddik who is sweetening everything.

Then he goes back to what the Rav wrote, which is this:

“The ikker (essence) of sweetening the dinim is via everyone believing in the True Tzaddikim.”

====

Hope springs eternal, people.

I watched hardcore chilonim from secular kibbutzim melting down in the women’s toilets yesterday, when they finally understood that there is a Creator, and a purpose to being alive.

If such fundamental ‘teshuva’ can happen for them, via getting to grips with all the lies we’ve been told by the ‘religion of science’, to obscure God in the world – it can happen for anyone.

And it is.
