How many times have we seen all these people online go crazy ‘speculating’ about Moshiach stuff? Hands up: I was also doing that a lot the first ten years I got to Israel, off the back of the autistics, who were preparing the ground for people like me to start taking the whole idea of […]
I bumped into a long-time reader of the blog at the Rav yesterday. Rivka, did you stop writing your blog?! I told her no, I’m still writing, Perhaps more than usual. So weird, I am just seeing the same post from a while ago… == I’m not sure which post sparked that off, but it’s […]
Excerpt of a shiur given over on Shushan Purim, 5786 (March 5, 2026) Here, it’s written in Yirmiyahu, 29, ‘seventy years’.[1] “After seventy years for Babylonia have been completed I will attend to you.” I will attend to you, and return you to Eretz Yisrael. == And so, Yirmiyahu bought a field the day before […]
Yesterday, I went shopping for Pesach. Usually, I’m not so organised, at all. But yesterday, I woke up with the idea that I could clean one room for chametz, already, and then buy most of the Pesach stuff and shove it there, so that’s one big chore off my list. So that’s what we did. It […]
I want to make sure I’m touching on relevant stuff, in the Shalom Bayit segment of next week’s free Pesach webinar. So, please take a mo and let me know what’s the biggest challenge Pesach is posing to your shalom bayit: You can pick as many topics as are relevant, and it’s 100% anonymous. Thankenchou.
Shavua Tov! Another day with azekot, here in Jerusalem. Nothing is being reported on the news, but there was a lot of noise, today. I decided after Shabbat I need to go and get a new bottle of rescue remedy, just to see if I can do something to help myself sleep a bit better and […]
This morning, I read this awesome prayer from the Rav. The last few weeks, even before the latest round of ‘WAR WITH IRAN’, I’ve been feeling a lot of repressed anxiety. Because it’s ‘repressed’, it tends to come out at night, when I suddenly can’t breathe so well, or find myself grinding my teeth again. […]
You remember a few months ago, the Rav kept talking about ‘turning lead into gold’? Take a look at this, that I tripped over yesterday, even though it’s from last May: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/research-frontiers/cern-researchers-briefly-produce-gold-when-lead-nuclei-collide/89290938 Here’s the takeaway: Physicists at the CERN nuclear research centre in Geneva have turned lead into gold. During the collision of lead nuclei […]
I am sure I’m not the only one who is feeling as though the events of the last couple of weeks has totally blown me out of the water. I literally feel like I couldn’t think straight since all this started, couldn’t remember stuff, couldn’t really ‘deal’ with things, but of course, still having to […]
If you didn’t see the footage already from last week, watch this: == This is the same sort of stuff I saw all over the sky 2 Rosh Hashana’s ago, when I was driving back along the 443 to Jerusalem, having dropped my husband at the airport erev Rosh Hashana for Uman. (He didn’t make […]
