Excerpt of a shiur given on 6th Kislev, 5786

They are fooling you, stop letting them pull one over on you.

I’m coming to caution you – this is what Jacob Frank said.

Jacob Frank was after Shabtai Tzvi, so they cut off his peyot. The notzrim told him: You are not a Christian, and not a Jew, you are half a Jew.

They cut off half the peyot of all of his students, and then, in Kamenetz.[1] He brings this in Dvar B’Ito. So, he went and informed [against the Jews], that in the SHAS there are things that are ‘anti’ the Christians.

So, the priest came to burn the SHAS.

==

They told the Baal Shem Tov, and he said he will be burnt, and not the SHAS!

A ray of fire appeared and burnt the priest.

All this was by Jacob Frank.

He was called ‘Jacob Frank’, so don’t be his friends.

I don’t permit you.

Translated from Shivivei Or #438

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Kamenetz is where the disputation happened between the Frankists and the Jews, where Jacob Frank and his followers first accused the Jews of using blood in their religious rituals.

==

THIS is actually a pretty good, relevant, overview of who the Frankists really were, with their ‘mix’ of Judeo-Xtianity, heavily spiced with kabbalistic black magic and satanic deviant practises.

What the Rav is explaining above, is that these incest and paedophilia practising people actually had beards and peyot…

They looked like the frummest of frum Jews, externally.

The xtians shaved half their beards off, and cut off one of their peyot symbolically, to show they were neither ‘xtians’ nor ‘Jews’ – and the shame of this is what drove the Frankists to extract ‘revenge’ against the Jewish community and the Talmud, beginning with the first disputation in Kamenetz in 1757.

==

That link, above, has a scholarly article talking about how Horodenka was a key centre for the Sabbatean-Frankists, in the 1760s.

In fact, here’s the full link, as you really will learn a lot, if you click on it:

https://theawarenesscenter.blogspot.com/2006/06/case-of-jacob-frank-and-frankist.html

Here’s a key snippet:

In 1766 Aharon Yitzchak ben Moshe, son of a famous family of Rabbis, the Teomims, left Horodenka for the city of Altona Germany as a messenger and preacher for the Shabbetean movement. This is how Rabbi Yaakov Emdins described the situation in his book Struggle:

In 1767, a person arrived in Altona from Poland. His name was Aharon Yitzchak, from the famous Teomim family in Horodenka.

He came as a preacher of Shabbetai-Zvi. First he stopped at Frankfurt am Mein. When he came to Altona he inquired as to the whereabouts of Wolf Akives. At first many of the members of the community gathered in the house to welcome him with honor, but soon they realized that he was one of Shabbetai-Zvi’s followers and they chased him away from Altona with shame.

==

After being forced out of Altona, he went to Chevering and stayed there with Yosef Nata, a respected member of the community and an agent of the Prince of Hallenburg.

From there Aharon Yitzhak proceeded to Hamburg. Soon after there were rumors that Aharon Yitzhak was a preacher of the Shabbetai movement. At first Yosef Neta refused to believe this. However he became convinced when he received a letter from Professor Tichzen in January 1767. In it there was a copy of a letter that Aharon Yitzhak Teomim had sent him.

In the letter, Aharon claims that Shabbetai-Zevi in the true Messiah. Here are a few paragraphs from the long and cumbersome letter:

==

God bestows his wisdom to the wise men. With each generation, in every nation and state and with every language, God seeks man’s wisdom and truth – the complete truth of mankind.

The knowledgeable Prince Radziwill, who studied in depth all the religions of the world, did not find a single religion as truthful and filled with Godliness as the religion of the king Messiah Shabbetai-Zevi.

Therefore he aligned himself with us to fight in the name of our truthful Messiah.

His advisors requested that we enlighten those blind Jews of Horodenka, who are dwelling in the shadow of death, by teaching them the religious wisdom of Shabbetai Ben-Zevi. His teachings will heal those with broken hearts and will free those imprisoned by the web of other religions.

The prince wants to have those people, Jews and Gentiles alike, live on his estate where they will be protected and safe and will lack nothing. I have been traveling from place to place to preach Shabbetai’s wisdom and seek those who believe in him.

I have been wandering until I came to this town and met the writer Mr. Weiler to whom I told the reason of my visit.

==

Notice, we have another Polish noble, a PRINCE RADZIWILL, who has apparently become a closet Sabbatean.

This Prince Radziwill wants the Jewish sabbateans to come and: ‘live on his estate where they will be protected and safe and will lack nothing’.

And he has sent Aharon Yitzhak Teomim as his agent and missionary, to go and find more of these secret Sabbateans and bring them to his estates, where they can live openly as Sabbatean Jews.

==

Before I burned out a couple of weeks ago, we were making great strides here figuring out that a certain ‘Jewish group’ in White Russia appeared to have close ties to the Illuminati, and were enjoying a strange degree of high level patronage and help from Polish nobles, who went out of their way to bring them to their estates to live.

Here’s a pertinent snippet, from this post:

A certain Polish nobleman, who was a real creep in so many ways, called Jerzy (George) Martin Lubomirsky is meant to have married, and divorced, Jacob Frank’s daughter Eva.

==

In the meantime, I searched for ‘RADZIWILL’ on my blog, and it came back with this post:

Snippet:

This snippet comes from the JEWAGE website, which is also still preserving a little more of the information that is mostly scrubbed off everywhere else:

====

He received the title of rabbi in 1764 in Brest and served as a dayan (religious judge) in Minsk, studied medicine in England and published a treatise on trigonometry “enEneh ha-Midah “(Prague, 1784; Shklov, 1793), as well as works on astronomy, anatomy and hygiene.

Translated the works of Euclid into Hebrew; he spent the last years of his life in Slutsk, where HE SERVED AS A DAYAN AND COURT PHYSICIAN TO THE PRINCE RADZIWILL.

He joined one of the English Masonic lodges at the end of the 18th century.

====

That PRINCE RADZIWILL that had Shick as his personal physician is probably this guy:

MICHAL HIERONIM RADZIWILL

As you might expect, he was dripping with ‘secret society’ knighthoods and memberships – and it looks like he was also trying to punish Russia for partitioning Poland.

==

SHICK was a mason, an Illuminati – and apparently, also closely associated with the Vilna Gaon and the Alter Rebbe.

More of those links are fleshed-out in this post about PINCHAS ROSANES SHICK, whose niece was married to ‘MOSES DOBRUSHKA’, a close relative of Jacob Frank who was one of the Illuminati agents sent to foment the French Revolution, where he subsequently got himself guillotined:

==

Is MICHAL HIERONIM RADZIWILL the ‘Prince Radziwill’ described by Teomim as being a patron of the Sabbateans?

It’s very possible.

Here’s a snippet from his Wiki entry:

 He was included in the list of deputies and senators of the Russian envoy Yakov Bulgakov in 1792, which contained a list of people whom the Russians could count on in reconfederation and the overthrow of the work on May 3. At the Grodno Seym in 1793, he was appointed by King Stanisław August Poniatowski as a member of the deputation for dealings with the Russian envoy Jakob Sievers. On July 22, 1793, he signed a treaty of assignment by the Republic of lands seized by Russia in the Second Partition of Poland. The Grodno Seym (1793) nominated him to the Permanent Council and the Commission of National Education.

==

The guy had close links to the Russian conquerors of Poland – and he was the son of ‘Mad Martin’ Radziwill, that I wrote a whole post about a while back, that I will try to find and repost here.

Here’s a snippet from Mad Martin’s Wiki page (in Polish), in the meantime, to give you a flavour:

In his teenage years, he began to show symptoms of mental illness. He probably inherited it from his father Jan Mikołaj. Over time, the disease began to lead to insanity.

He imprisoned his second wife and their sons for several years in a room without furniture.

He set up a harem made up of kidnapped or bought girls and imprisoned kidnapped girls. He attacked and set fire to the surrounding manors, committed robberies on the roads, kidnapped and imprisoned people, and dissected corpses.

In his laboratory, he searched for the philosopher’s stone. He also devoted himself to Talmudic studies, learned Hebrew, surrounded himself exclusively with Jews and observed religious practices with them.

==

This is ‘official information’ on the Polish Wiki page, not ‘conspiracy theory’.

And it’s this guy’s second son, MICHAL HIERONIM RADZIWILL, who had the Illuminati mason (and grandson of the Alter Rebbe) Baruch SHICK, as his personal physician and ‘court Dayan’.

Why would a non-Jewish Polish noble need his own ‘court Dayan’?

I think, you are starting to piece this picture together enough to hazard your own educated guess.

==

Mad Martin lived until 1782, so it’s very possible that he himself is the ‘Prince Radziwill’ mentioned in the Teomim letter, as being a ‘closet Sabbatean’ and patron, who wanted Sabbatean Jews to come and live with him on his estates in LITHUANIA.

Where else, would all this be happening?

==

So, long story short:

It seems that some satanic, Judeo-Xtian-Sabbatean new religion was being practised and supported by leading members of the Polish nobility, in and around Lithuania and White Russia, exactly the same time that the ‘Frankists’ were doing their thing, and another Jewish sect were being housed and protected by members of the Polish nobility.

There are many links between this satanic, Judeo-Xtian-Sabbatean ‘new religion’ and the masons, and the Illuminati.

And not all of the bearded and be-peyot-ed ‘Frankists’ outwardly changed their religion to xtian.

Many of them stayed within the community as externally ‘religious’ Jews.

==

The Rav is telling us clearly about these closest Frankist-Sabbatean-Illuminati who took over our Jewish community in the name of Jacob Frank:

Don’t be his friends.

I don’t permit you.

BH, I hope more of us will understand who the Rav is actually talking about, and follow his advice.

==

UPDATE:

I found a strange genealogical site in Polish, that basically spells out that MARCIN RADZIWILL was the Polish patron of the Frankists, HERE.

Snippet:


Marcin Mikolaj Radziwill, b. 1705, was the alchemist. The FRANKISTS leaders maintained a relationship with Prince Marcin Mikolaj Radziwill, b. 1705, who “showed interest in religious issues and who visited Yaakov Frank in 1759”.
Marcin Mikolaj Radziwill of Ostrow Wielkopolski was the supporter of the FRANKISTS.
In 1765, Jakob Frank, known Sabbatean, planned to establish links with the Russian Orthodox Church and with the Russian government through a Russian ambassador in Warsaw, Prince REPNIN. At the end of the year a Frankist delegation went to Smolensk and Moscow.

==

It’s very convoluted, but it seems to be saying that this branch of the RADZIWILLS is linked to the POTOCKI family.

I scrolled down some more, and came across this section, linking the RADZIWILLs to the CHRAPOWICKI / KHRAPOVITCHS.

Stefania Julia Radziwill Princess, b. 1825 [the owner of MIEZONKA], m. ca 1840 to Arkadiusz Chrapowicki born 1821, and 2nd to Kajetan Oskierka born 1821,
with son Adolf Oskierka / Oskierko b. ca 1868 – d. 1901 in Lourdes.
Above Arkadiusz Chrapowicki, 1821 – ca 1900, was the son of Michal Chrapowicki b. ca 1790, d. ca 1850, and Jozefa KORSAK.
The grandson of Jozef Chrapowicki b. ca 1750, d. 1812, and Magdalena Oginska [the 1st wife was Anna Radziwill, Narbut].

==

Michal Chrapowicki with his second wife, Jozefa Korsak, had the mentioned son Arkadyusz Chrapowiecki married Stefania Julia Radziwill, 1825-1896. STEFANIA RADZIWILL was the owner of MIEZONKA
– see Dominik Konstantynowicz, the owner of Miezonka in 1842, and his son Antoni Konstantynowicz, and the grandson Stanislaw Konstantynowicz + Anna Malkiewicz.

Arkadiusz CHRAPOWICKI married Stefania Julia Radziwill, 1820-1896, the owner of Miezonka until 1842 [1832-1842 the Czapskis were leaseholders]
– the daughter of Mikolaj Radziwill b. 1801, and Wiktoria Emilia Narbutt.
Stefania was also wife of OSKIERKA.

==

This is the same RADZIWILLs who were the patrons of the Frankists, and the same CHRAPOWICKI / KHRAPOVITCH family who owned Liadi, where the Alter Rebbe himself said he was living in his deputation to Tzar Paul I’s secret police.

Things are getting intersting again.

==

UPDATE 2:

Here they are on Geni:

 

==

While the Geni tree for Arkady Chrapovickis has been scrubbed (of course…), I managed to track down more on a Russian-language genealogy site, HERE.

==

The Alter Rebbe’s ‘Count Khrapovitch’ is very possibly one of the people in this table.

I have shabbos to make, so we’ll leave it there for now…

TBC

 

This is a ten minute watch, shmirat eynayim friendly.

It’s not a frum guy, not even a Jewish guy, just a regular person, who did the experiment of locking their phone away for a month:

I Stopped Using My Phone. The results were shocking

==

I’m also now researching the symptoms of Whatsapp addiction….

You might want to do that too.

==

This is an even better video, 13 minutes (speed it up to make it even less time-wasting)… and shirat eynayim:

The ugly cost of smartphones

==

It’s kind of depressing to me that I have to be arguing the obvious about smartphones here on the blog.

The Rav isn’t telling  us stuff to hurt us, make our lives harder, or give us impossible challenges to overcome.

He is simply stating the obvious.

Even enlightened non-Jews can recognise that it’s really, really bad to be on the smartphones… and on the Whatsapp… and all the rest of it.

BH, I give us all a bracha, that Hashem should help us break our smartphone addiction, stop making excuses for how much time we are wasting, and how much ‘real life’ we are missing out on…

Only with God’s help.

This is a harif shiur from the Rav.

Most people won’t like it, I’m sure, most people won’t take it seriously, and tell themselves that they can’t skip out on their Whatsapp groups, all the toyrah they are learning via their phones, etc etc etc.

I debated whether to translate this, even, because I already know that most people can’t relate, and will think that this is just fanatical extremism.

Just like all those Jews in America thought, when people said they should carry on keeping Shabbat, or keeping kashrut when they landed in the Goldene Medina.

Or, exactly like the Anusim of Spain thought, when given the choice of converting or shipping out of the country without their property and possessions.

I’m not quite sure when the idea that it should be ‘easy’ to be a believing Jew gained traction, but that’s the reality we live in today, and I guess all those people who like to point fingers at other people for not making aliya, to give one example, may feel a little uncomfortable with the idea that they are just as responsible for holding up geula, if they are still using their smartphones…

==

To keep this real, it requires huge mesirut nefesh to ditch the smartphone these days, especially for people who have become accustomed to doing everything with it.

Me personally, I am struggling with even simple things these days, like trying to pick up packages from the post office, as everything is sent in a smartphone link, which I can’t access on my not-smartphone.

And the Whatsapp – so many ‘group things’ are happening on Whatsapp, and I am totally not in that space…

It’s mesirut nefesh, it’s not always so easy.

==

At the same time….

Do you know what a LORA is?

A LORA simply requires 20-50 good pictures of a person’s face, taken from different angles, in order to create an exact online replica, or avatar, that can then be used to ‘create video’ of that person doing all sorts of things.

You can read more about a LoRA HERE.

Basically, they can fake footage of you doing ANYTHING, super-realistically, if they have 20-50 good quality pictures of your face at different angles.

And if you have been using social media regularly, or have ‘face recognition’ enabled on your i-Phone, simply to use your credit card or access your bank app – they already have more than enough images of you to do anything they want with.

Scary.

==

Have you heard about the digital ID plan?

In the UK, they are rolling it out more and more all the time.

Read more HERE.

You don’t take the shots they want you to take, you don’t parrot the ‘correct thinking’ online they want you to take, you do anything to challenge the machine – and the machine suspends your whole digital life, no access to your bank, your apps, your contacts, it all goes.

Take a look at this:

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/20/tech/china-censorship-internet-id-hnk-intl

==

So, just like working on Shabbat actually turned into a total spiritual ‘prison’ for the Jews that ditched their observance, and just like ‘becoming xtian’ became an ongoing source of terrible suffering for the Anusim of Spain for the next 400 years – we are facing another big test, as a people.

The test of the smartphone.

The test of the ‘Digital ID’, or ‘Digital Prison’.

And the Rav is inviting each person to leave that prison behind and to smash it to pieces.

I hope more of us will find the strength and courage to do that, and to not just make excuses, even though for sure, this requires HUGE mesirut nefesh.

==

Extract of shiur from Chanuka, 5786

A person thinks that he loves the Tzaddik.

To ‘love the Tzaddik’ means that you break the Xiomi.

That you break the smartphone.

That you break the i-Phone.

This is called ‘to love the Tzaddik’.

==

Just stam ‘to love the Tzaddik’ – so then, a person could end up murdering Yehoshua.[1]

A person can murder the Tzaddik.

Whoever is carrying around a smartphone, whoever is carrying around a Xiomi, or an i-Phone – they are murdering the Tzaddik at every second.

They are shortening the Tzaddik’s life, they are causing the Tzaddik to have cancer.

==

People are endangering the Tzaddik, and the life of the Tzaddik.

A person needs to know that that war of a Jew, [i.e. the war of the Maccabees] – this was a war against Greek culture.

Not against the Greeks themselves.

==

The Greeks renew themselves in every generation.

There are Edomites, there are Russians, there are Arabs, there are Nohkba,[2] there are Hamas – everything is these same Greeks, that come again in every generation in a different form.

==

And so, a person needs to know that now, everyone should accept upon themselves to throw away the smartphones.

And the i-Phones.

And the Xiomi.

To throw them away!

To smash them into pieces!

These are ‘elilim’ (false gods), this is avoda zara (idol worship).

This is a million times [worse] than eating pig.

==

When a person carries around an i-Phone, every second he is transgressing a million aveirot.

Eating pig is five negative commandments (lavi’in.)

What happened on Simchat Torah, what happened in that Shoah – this is all because of i-Phones, because of the Xiomi, because of the smartphones.

This is ‘Greek culture’.

It rules over us in every generation, anew.

==

And this test only depends upon you.

The moment that you break the i-Phones, and the smartphones, and the Xiomi – Moshiach will come today!

I promise!

Moshiach will come at this moment – when each person breaks their smartphone, and their i-Phone.

Translated from Shivivei Or, #438.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] In many previous shiurim, the Rav has mentioned how the meraglim wanted to murder Yehoshua, to prevent him from leading them into Eretz Yisrael, using the pretext that if they murdered Yehoshua, then they would be ‘saving Moshe’s life’, as he was scheduled to die before Am Yisrael entered Eretz Yisrael. The Rav is explaining that a person can tell themselves they ‘love the Tzaddik’, when really they are engaging in some very evil behaviours, and just using ‘love of the Tzaddik’ as a pretext.

[2] An Israeli slang term for the October 7th terrorists.

Perhaps, you’ve been wondering where I’ve got to the last couple of weeks.

The short answer is, I burned out, and I’ve been taking an extended break offline during ‘chochmas’, to work on re-energising mind, body and soul.

As part of that, I’ve begun doing the vision exercises in Meir Schneider’s book, Vision for Live, HERE.

His approach, and his story, have been very helpful, to trying to grope my way towards finding more balance between the panicked, fear-stoking ‘olam hadimayon’, aka the imaginary world online, and my real life, which is actually still doing pretty good, BH.

Yah, I know Trump kidnapped Maduro and took over Venezuela (incredible, that this is meant to be a serious headline in the so-called ‘real world’.).

I know, that Esav and other enemies are all over the place, up to their little tricks.

But what I know way more, is that Eretz Yisrael is actually booming at the moment, and the country is blossoming in a million different ways – even in YOSH, where I have lost count of the number of new farms and settlements that have gone up in the last few months.

The country is blossoming, and the headlines do not reflect the reality, not at all.

==

As part of my reboot, I took 10 days offline to just focus on ‘real world’, and try to overcome a serious case of eye strain, that came about from trying to share so much information all the time, in a mad rush, like the world somehow depends on it, or something.

BH, I realise this is more of that ‘dimayon’ that I am trying to tackle now in my dalet amot, and I am trying to slow down, smell the roses more, balance, and stop getting pulled into other people’s ‘stress’ and dramas, that are mostly also based on dimayon and a blurry way of seeing the world.

Or to put it another way, I am working on developing some real eyes of emuna, and that is much harder work than you might think.

==

But anyway, as part of the time off, we headed off to Mizpe Ramon for a bit, and the Ibex are all over the place there, thanks to Beresheet Hotel’s blurring the line between ‘wilderness’ and ‘tourism’.

What else changed in the last few years, is that most of the fast food places in Mizpe Ramon are now kosher.

I was discussing with my husband why that is, and part of the reason is that the frum population of the town is exploding.

But that’s only part of the reason.

The other part of the reason, is that the last few years, between Covid 19 lockdowns and Gaza Wars, most of the non-Jewish tourism has dried up here.

Which is actually fantastic news.

Because now, instead of pandering to tourists who eat traif and travel around on Shabbat in their coaches to all the tourism sites, any place that really wants to make parnassa has to deal with the full-time residents and local tourists.

==

The people who stay in Israel, don’t tend to travel abroad for their holidays and are happy to go to Mizpe Ramon for a few nights, tend to be frummers.

In a million small ways like this, the Gaza War has actually helped Israel to wean-off the crusading tourism trade, and to start to cater to the locals.

To the frum locals, who keep kosher and shabbat.

We saw the same thing up North a few months ago, with a lot more kosher options and shabbat flexibility appearing up there, as the tourism industry gets to grip with who their core patrons are actually going to be, going forward.

It’s a beautiful thing to behold.

==

So, here’s where I’ve got to, with what I’m doing here on the blog, with God’s help.

Still two translations from the Rav a week, wherever possible, BH.

FYI, the Rav has said precisely nothing about the incident in Bondi, and has been undergoing some serious medical treatment for the last month and a half which I hope has now ended, and been successful.

After this post, I will translate a couple of interesting snippets from the Shivivei Or two weeks ago, and stick them up here.

==

Apart from that, I am planning to slow down a bit, to continue to write, but not to do it in the same ‘mad rush’.

That’s just playing into the olam hadimayon, and the mad pace of fake news, and manipulated headlines, designed to keep everyone stuck in panic and jumping to whatever tune the Evils try to play next.

==

I am still doing my research, but with more discretion.

And I want to focus way more on Ha-good than Ha-bad, with God’s help, as I keep getting pulled back into that crud, no matter how hard I try to stay out of it.

==

Bottom line: I think probably all of us need to take a serious pause for breath, re-evaluate what we are doing with ourselves, and especially how much time we spend online, engaging with ‘Candace’ and other BS, and try to put more of our focus on our real life relationships, and looking after ourselves and our loved ones, than breathlessly debating more stupid headlines.

==

I don’t care that Trump kidnapped Maduro, honestly.

I am not playing that game, and if you still are, it’s a shame, because there are so many more useful and beautiful things that could be taking up your headspace.

==

So, that’s where I got to, in my two week break.

I am really hoping God is going to help me stay above all the crud online, and to continue trying to share more practical Breslov teachings here, that I’ve found helpful, and that maybe, you will too.

No doubt, I will fall back into the crud at some point, but hopefully not for long.

Tachlis, I am trying to limit my time online to maximum three hours a day now (remember, I don’t have a smartphone…) so my eyes won’t get buggered from all the scrolling and blue light.

==

In the meantime, I am starting to rediscover some hope and optimism about the future again.

Things are much better than they look, than how they are being portrayed online.

At least, for frum Jews in the Holy Land.

Redemption sprouts precisely when it seems the seed has totally rotted away, and there is nothing left.

If we’re not at that point already, we are fast approaching it.
