Like you, and probably everyone else who still has some heart left, I have been grappling with a lot of yeoush the last few days. The lies are so sickening, so non-stop, the cognitive dissonance so great for so many people, the prospects of this turning around, or the war stopping, any time soon – without […]
You have probably never heard of Michael L Rodkinson. That’s OK. I also hadn’t until about three days ago. ==== That’s when I was actually reading through Antelmann’s TO ELIMINATE THE OPIATE again, Volumes I and II, after a reader reminded me about them. And that’s where (in Volume 2), I found a whole bunch […]
The last few days, I have been feeling pretty uneasy. It began a couple of days before Sukkot, in the middle of the night, when I woke up feeling very agitated and antsy. It wasn’t a ‘bad dream’, or something like that, it was a feeling from my neshama. Later that day, the Golani base […]
More translated comments from Rav Berland, last week. == Second day of Rosh Hashana 5785, after kiddush Now, it’s the fiftieth gate. Now, it’s the geulah. All those who are here will merit to have 10 sons and 10 daughters. == In a seperate shiur from Shabbat Ha’azinu –Shuva 5785. Before the reading of the Torah. […]
Around 15 years’ ago, Erez Moshe Doron came out with a fiction novel called ‘Warriors of Transcendence’. This was before the whole ‘Shakuf’ experiment, that took down so many people’s marriages and mental health… While I threw away all my books from Rabbi Doron post-Shakuf, the one book that I’m still pleased I read was […]
A reader sent me a copy of Dennis Prager’s ‘open letter’ to Candace Owens. You can see that for yourself HERE. Prager is basically claiming that satanic ‘Frankists’, if they were ever a thing in the Jewish community, died out 200 years ago. Oh, and they have absolutely nothing to do with zionism, or the […]
Shavua tov, and shana tova! I hope you had a good fast. They put out a new Shivivei Or, which I managed to read over Yom Kippur. I decided to translate the following bit, because I know so many people personally who spent weeks and months saying 7 Tikkun HaKlalis for the Rav to get […]
Every time I write these words, God seems to send me something to ‘break’ my writing break again. So we’ll see. But right now, I just need to chill, and not be in the mindset of trying to figure things out, not for myself and not for anyone else. Rav Elmaliach told us quite a […]
Rosh Hashana was pretty good this year, BH. My husband was home, because his flight to Uman got cancelled during the ‘bombardment’ of Erev Rosh Hashana, and while we were both pretty disappointed, at least he got to pray with the Rav on Rosh Hashana. And the ‘day-to-day’ stuff of Rosh Hashana was baruch Hashem, […]
Without rehashing the whole article, you can go back and read more below: Doing a pidyon nefesh before Rosh Hashana ==== Bottom line: [E]veryone undergoes a certain amount of suffering. There is no such thing as a person going through life with everything going exactly according to his desire. What comes out of these teachings […]
