People make teshuva in a moment. Army commanders, and everyone. Everyone wants to go to synagogue, just they are embarassed by each other. They are simply ashamed! And now, it’s possible to bring everyone back in teshuva. Everyone should take it upon themselves to bring fifty [people]. There are 70 men here – 50 [each]. […]
The war against Amalek – Part I This shiur from the Rav is totally awesome…. So I decided to translate almost all of it. As it’s so long, I have split it into 3-4 parts. If you only read one of them, it should be the Midrash about ‘Shimon Kaifa’, who became the first ‘pope’ […]
Part II (Read Part I HERE.) I would say that about 97% of ‘the story’ that we’ve all been told about how Dov Ber, the Maggid of Mezeritch took over from the BESHT; and then how Shneur Zalman of Liadi basically rose to the top of chassidut as the ‘cream of the crop’ comes from….Chabad. […]
The story begins, as these stories so often do, when I was working on something totally different. One of my readers emailed me a few of weeks ago to ask me if I knew how R Berland descends from David HaMelech. I went back to the OIAG Volume I note at the back, that says […]
A few years ago, I did a deep-dive on ‘narcissists’ and so-called ‘Narcissist Personality Disorder’ (NPD). By ‘deep dive’, I mean I read tens of books, did hours and hours and hours of praying about how to handle the ‘narcs’ in my own life, and my own ‘narcissistic tendencies’, that I was just waking up […]
I had a long trip to make today, which gave me the chance to listen to some shiurim from Rav Shlomo Elmaliach, from post Purim. I’m just going to paraphrase what Rav Elmaliach was saying, the main points. If you have Hebrew, I highly recommend you listen yourself, as there are undoubtedly some nuances and […]
Here in Israel, there was a ‘debate’ about whether we were allowed to be happy on Purim. I was hoping to get this shiur translated and up before Purim, but in the end that didn’t happen, so I’m sticking it up now. I still have more to translate from this particular shiur – it’s the […]
It’s amazing how different life is ‘offline’. Now that I am having a regular three days off from the ‘pace’ of keeping up with the internet, and the 24 hour (fake) ‘news’ cycle, that just keeps us all hopping from one manipulated event to another, I feel like my brain is finally starting to kick […]
I am super-dizzy today. I think there might be more earthquakes on the horizon. I am going offline until Thursday now, but in partial answer to SimchavSasson’s query about what might be going on with solar flares and sunspots etc, this video has some interesting information on man-made directed energy effects on our planet.
One of my readers just sent me this: (These are screenshots, btw, don’t try to ‘play’ the images.) In the middle of the night from Fri March 22 to Sat 23 (Shabbat night) there was a very large explosion on the sun, earth directed, from a huge sunspot in the center of the earth facing […]
