The next stage of birur

I have a lot I want to try to convey, but the words are not really coming. So, let’s sum it up like this today, as things continue to percolate into place: THE BAD IS NOT GOING TO WIN. Not in a million, billion, trillion years. It doesn’t matter what they throw at us, how […]

Coming soon

==== This is the mock-up of the cover – but still a little while to go to finalise the book, BH. Thanks to everyone for their well-wishes. I basically got ‘covided’ for the last 10 days – migraines, total loss of appetite, couldn’t taste anything, very weak, and currently that side has improved, but now […]

The tipping point

The last few days, I’ve been up North with my husband. ***UPDATES BELOW*** We went to a zimmer in the Akko area, where it was green, quiet and beautiful. Before that, we had a massive argument, because my husband didn’t want to go anywhere that was ‘being bombed’ – and just after I booked the […]

Conversations II – says it all

I am putting the finishing touches to Conversations II, BH. So slow posting again until Wednesday. But in the meantime, I wanted to put up the contents page for the book, with the headings of the classes and topics the Rav covered the last couple of years. It really says it all. And it made […]

Working for America

Let’s clear something up, shall we? If you are still sitting thinking that anyone you vote for is going to ‘change things’ here in the State of Israel…. That anyone called the ‘Israeli PM’ is actually making decisions based on what’s good for the people of Israel…. That anyone running our army, any ‘leader’ with […]

Xtianity = Egyptian Idol Worship, mamash

This video basically demolishes xtianity’s claim to be an ‘Abrahamic religion’ in six minutes. Long story short: Xtianity is a repackaging of exactly the same star-worshipping idolatry that began with Horus, the sun god of Egypt – goes via a whole bunch of man-made-god individuals – and then ends with Yoshki. Just the Romans had […]

Some more ruach hakodesh

I’m just editing the draft of Conversations II. And I just got up to June, 2023. This is what the Rav said back then: JUNE HANNAH AND THE GREEKS Excerpted from a shiur given on 16th Sivan, 5783 (June 5th, 2023). The whole of Chanuka is in the merit of Hannah. “The bow of the […]

Watching and waiting

There are a million things that could be written about right now. Like, do you know this ‘right wing government’ with ‘fanatical right wingers’ in key positions in security, finance and apparently the PM’s chair has sent 13,000+ trucks of food, fuel and other stuff to Hamas, since the war began? Baruch Hashem, people are […]

Moving past ‘Flatland’

Back in 1884, a man called ‘Edwin Abbott Abbott’ published a novel called ‘Flatland’. (I don’t know why he has two identical surnames.) For an indepth look at the plot, go HERE. The basic idea is that there was a land – Flatland – where everything was limited to two dimensions. When a 3-D sphere […]
