Excerpt of a shiur given on Wednesday evening, 3rd Cheshvan 5784, to people from Ashdod. (October 10th, 2023). Everything in italics are direct quotes from the Rav. Lots of hints here, about what is really going on behind the scenes. ==== We are now also in exile, they are firing rockets upon us, they are […]
Think of what is going on in Israel at the moment as a big game of chess. On the one side, there is ‘Hamas Kasparov’. And on the other side, there is ‘Israel Fischer’. They are moving their pieces around the board, they are ‘doing battle’, the crowd is clapping for one, booing the other…. […]
One of my friends summed it up like this yesterday: I’ve stopped watching the news as much as possible now. Even the ‘good news’ just makes me feel bad and nervous. Yup, that about sums things up at the moment. ==== I spent three days before during and after the wedding going ‘cold turkey’ on […]
I am trying to get hold of a full copy of The Lurie Legacy from 2004. I can’t find it anywhere online as the full PDF, and none of the second hand booksellers seem to have it either – which is a little strange, as it’s a popular book from 2004. Does anyone out there […]
You know, there is a small amount of real truth starting to sprout in the world. I am not in ‘full on writing’ mode this week still, until we’re done with the sheva brachot, (and btw, thanks so much for everyone’s lovely brachot for the happy couple, it’s really appreciated.) But…. this video just came across […]
Yesterday, with Hashem’s tremendous help, my daughter got married. These things are always fraught with emotions and ‘stress’ and ups and downs – even when there is no war and all the rest going on – but the last few weeks have been pretty intense. They got engaged end of August…. set the date for […]
Yesterday, I went to the evening prayers of the Rav, and he wasn’t there. Someone thought he’d gone to Tel Aviv or something – but he had definitely left Jerusalem. This last week, the Rav’s been keeping his comments after the evening prayers pretty short, just repeating how ‘tznius’ and smashing i-Phones are the key […]
No-one really knows what is going on in Israel at the moment. It seems to me that whatever ‘the plan’ actually was, it’s not panning out as ‘planned’. (We saw the same thing with Covid – remember how much tremendous pressure there was for ‘green passports’ and ‘track n trace’ and a million other repressive, […]
These are comments from October 17th, 2023. Before our troops went into Gaza, and there was apparently an offer from Hamas to free at least some of the captives. There are a ton of ‘hints’ here about real Jewish history. After the Rav’s comments, I will try BH to unpick some of them. ==== In […]
Back in the UK in the 80s, everyone was talking about Max Headroom. == If you don’t know who that was, here’s a snippet from Wiki: Max Headroom is a fictional character played by actor Matt Frewer. Advertised as “the first computer-generated TV presenter”, Max was known for his biting commentary on a variety of topical issues, […]
