The Rav is currently in a special private facility getting urgent heart treatment. While the rest of us get illnesses because of our tikkunim and spiritual debts, when it comes to the tzaddikim who are from the aspect of the ‘Tzaddik Yesod Olam’, their illnesses are caused by the spiritual situation of the Jewish people.

Always, when things are getting ‘difficult’ again for Am Yisrael, the Rav’s health takes a nose-dive. That’s been happening again the last two weeks, since the failed State decided to go into Rafiah. The Rav had a lot of water on the lungs during Pesach, and was unable to sleep. No-one knew that was the […]
I haven’t verified this yet. ***UPDATES*** I got it over email from someone I trust, who doesn’t usually send me ‘nonsense’ of any kind. It also mentions R Dov Kook and asks us to pray – and praying can never be a bad thing, whatever is going on. Here’s the message in Hebrew, then I’ll […]
There was another horrible ‘friendly fire’ incident yesterday in Gaza. I’m off the news (thank God…) but one of my friends in Israel texted me a little while ago this: Apparently another friendly fire incident yesterday killed five soldiers and wounded more. The Rav referred to friendly fire a lot, didn’t he? Hashem should have […]
If you’ve recovered from PART I, it’s time to dive into ‘PART II’ of what was really going on around the money being raised for the settlement of Eretz Yisrael. (Read Part I HERE). At least part of the reason figuring this stuff out is so important is because THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE […]
The Rav gave some very big ‘clues’ as to what was really going down in the Holy Land, when the whole argument with the Baal HaTanya blew up. It was over money. And specifically, it was over who was actually pocketing the huge amounts of charity that were being raised for the Holy Land communities. […]
For years, there’s been an argument in my house over Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’Atzmaut. Growing up in that ‘ra-ra State of Israel’ dati leumi environment meant that my kids were brainwashed from a very young age into: Watching and / or attending as many Yom HaZikaron events as possible. Insisting on buying Israeli flags […]
Read the footnotes for this one, so you start to understand a little how many ‘secrets’ the Rav is giving over. But only if a person is willing to work a little bit, to try to uncover them. I had no idea what the Rav was really saying, until I cracked open the Likutey Moharan…. […]
Excerpt 3, from the Rav’s shiur from last week. Read parts 1 and 2 by clicking the numbers. == Excerpt 3 of a shiur given by the Rav on 28th Nissan, 5784, after the Ma’ariv prayers So now, we are [studying the parsha] of Nadav and Avihu. This by itself could take a whole year. […]
Here’s another excerpt from the long shiur I’m translating from the Rav. BH, I will put up a few more excerpts too. They contain astounding information, and need quite a bit of ‘unpacking’. Here’s excerpt 2, where the Rav tells us that right from the beginning of the ‘chassidic aliyah’, the tzedaka being raised for […]
