It’s a time when ‘truth’ is becoming so much stranger than ‘fiction’. In so many ways. I went back to find the article I’d written five years ago, about ‘Mad Martin Radziwill’. If you haven’t read the post before this, go back and read it before continuing, HERE. In that post, we learned that ‘Mad […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
I’m having a break from the blog for a few days. Be back in a week or two, BH.
I remembered this old article from Politico, written in April 2017. Amazingly, it’s still up. For now. You can find it HERE. It’s entitled: The-Happy-Go-Lucky-Jewish-Group-That-Connects-Trump-To-Putin And most of those connections are happening around multi-million dollar real estate projects… just like what Kushner and Witkoff are planning for Gaza. Go read it yourselves, now that we’ve […]
So, some of the recent comments here got me thinking about the Cantonist Decrees in Russia. I have barely looked into this subject before, although Rebbe Nachman spoke a great deal about these decrees, which were first mooted by Tsar Alexander I in 1803. Alexander I is a very interesting character. He was complicit in […]
Baruch Hashem, I made it to the prayer gathering yesterday. It was very good to be there, but the Rav unfortunately couldn’t come to join, as was advertised, because he is currently unwell again, and is in the middle of a course of 50 daily treatments for his condition at the hospital. How the Rav […]
Continuing on with our occasional posts about the Rebbe’s ‘chossidim’… Remember, we learned a little while back that ‘false leaders’ are so good at fooling the public, that the only way to really spot who is real and who is fake is by looking at their students, their chossidim, to see what calibre of person is […]
