I woke up today not feeling very happy, for reasons I can’t really pin down. ***UPDATE: Please pray for BETZALEL TZVI ben ORLI RIVKA, seriously injured along with three Netzach Yehuda soldiers who were killed a couple of days ago. He’s the BIL of my friend’s brother, and he’s really not doing well.*** BH, we […]
Did you ever wonder how ‘Boyan chassidut’ got pole position in Meron on L’ag B’omer? In this post, we finally going to figure that, as we continue to swim through the murk. Why are we continuing to swim through the murk, to find out what was really going on? Because behind all the ‘politics’ and […]
The Rav put this out a few months ago. And I’ve been meaning to translate it for a while, but didn’t get around to it. Today, I finally sat down and did it, BH. I hope it won’t need to be used too much…. but with all the ‘crazy’ going on in the world right […]
In this post, we take a closer look at KOLLEL RASSEINI of VILNA. ***UPDATES and a v interesting picture*** Hopefully, you managed to digest Part I and 2 already. The bottom line is that so many of the ‘disagreements’ between people we were told are ‘mitnagdim’ and ‘chassidim’, and also between different ‘chassiduts’, and also, […]
I’m probably not the only one. But I’m really starting to feel like I am burning-out, big time. I’ve been doing a ton of research into ‘real Jewish history’, and so much new information is popping up, I can’t keep up with it. And I’ve also been feeling pressure to keep translating as much of […]
Maybe, just maybe, there is a glint of light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe, just maybe, more and more people are starting to realise that the real ‘power’ of the Jewish people – the ONLY power of the Jewish people – is prayer. Yesterday, the Iranian President and a few other people apparently […]
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 […]
