Last week, one of the biggest tzaddik nistarim in Israel was asked what could be done, to get this horrible war to stop. He said that there was nothing that could be done, because (I’m paraphrasing here) ‘the other side’ had already made sure to tie the hands of the ‘One in a Generation’ who could […]
Shavua Tov! ‘Weird world’ is continuing in Israel at the moment, with most of the population walking around in a semi-depressed state (at best….) because of what’s going on in Gaza. The Rav didn’t come out for prayers over Shabbat, because he didn’t feel well. BH, he will have a speedy recovery – please pray […]
A couple of days ago, I got this email – even though I barely sign up for anything and I have no idea how they got my details. ==== Hmm. No website…. no registered charity number… But I click the link and it takes me to the donation platform Rayze.it, and this strange message: ==== […]
Yesterday, I had a weird dream. I went to sleep while I was thinking about different things I could bring from Rabbenu, about ‘being a religious fanatic’, and about how Rabbenu never told people *directly to their faces* to do things that required massive mesirut nefesh, like going to Uman for Rosh Hashana. Even though that’s […]
Thanks to Nechama for sending me this. ==== It’s Rav Elmaliach, one of the students of the Rav, and also a big kabbalist in his own right. He’s bringing sources that seem to indicate 5784 (koach times koach) will be the year of geula. And that Gog u’Magog may have begun Sukkot. And that techiat […]
Some very interesting stuff from the Rav in this tranche of translated comments from Chanuka. It’s the continuation of this post, talking about the Greco-Roman ‘snakes’ in Israel. ==== Haman did ve’samachta be’hagecha (rejoice on your festivals). He took champagne, whiskey, he also distributed champagne to everyone. It cost him. It cost him $10 million. […]
The story begins with a book called ‘The Vilna Gaon and His Cousinhood’. My husband tripped over it in the library, and I went back and took a look. Long story short, I went through the whole book, and there, on page 226, I saw a family tree that said the following: Pinchas Reizes Shick […]
There was an article that appeared on YNET yesterday, about the Hamas tunnels in Gaza. It was talking about the massive ‘tunnel boring’ machinery Hamas has, to make all these massive tunnels deep under ground. I can’t find that article now…. but this one, with Sinwar’s brother driving through the Hamas tunnel on the border […]
Just thought I’d spend a few minutes going through some stories, to help ‘clarify’ a bit more. ***UPDATES – SCROLL DOWN*** Screenshot from the Tomer Devorah blog HERE: It’s not a lie. ==== There are hundreds of thousands of Arabs working in Israel, and also in Yehuda and Shomron, all the time, and they do […]
Sadly for us, our whole country is crawling with them… Here’s the continuation of the Rav’s shiur, that we started HERE. Then meet me at the bottom for a couple more interesting intersections with ‘Greco-Roman snakes in Jerusalem’. == So the RAMBAN asks, what, the whole city deserved the death penalty?! Yes, they [i.e. The […]
