Dancing through the bombs
Yesterday, I was at the Rav for evening prayers. We try to go at least three times a week, and when there is ‘stuff’ going on, we try to go even more. So, I was set in the little covered section right at the front, trying to do some hitbodedut, actually feeling safer than I’ve been […]
Last year’s ‘Purim Torah’ from the Rav
I was reading Conversations 3 on Shabbat. I decided to open it up ‘randomly’, as of course, there is no such thing as ‘random’ in the world. This is what I opened it up to – still so, so relevant for today. (BTW, Conversations 3 is a really excellent book… I know I put it […]
Once Costanza is destroyed, geula will come – more comments from the Rav
Excerpt of a shiur given over on 21st Tevet, 5786 Bilaam said the strongest brachot (blessings for Am Israel). “I shall see him, but not now. I shall look at him, but it is not near. A star has issued from Jacob and a sceptre-bearer has risen from Israel, and he shall pierce the nobles […]
Interesting times
Shavua tov. Baruch Hashem, I had the best night’s sleep in about two months, yesterday night, and it looks like I’m probably going to need it. Because the azekot are back – not that you’d know that from the Rav’s davening, but everywhere else in Jerusalem is kinda a ghost town at the moment, again. There […]
Enjoy Shabbat this week
If you spent last Shabbat pointlessly stressing about ‘Iran’ – here’s your chance to rectify that. Don’t stress about it this week. Or at least, if you really do feel it really, really is the ‘end of the world’ etc etc etc – get yourself some sackcloth and ashes, sit on the floor, and do […]
Epstein and the Frankists
Someone just sent me a new ‘scoop’ from the Epstein files. He’s apparently a descendant of one ‘Gustav Ritter Von Epstein: JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS A DESCENDANT OF GUSTAV RITTER VON EPSTEIN!!! NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY HE IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ROTHSCHILDS! The Epsteins were one of the oldest, most powerful, families in Prague. His […]
The Dalet Amot
On Sunday, I found myself up a huge mountainous cliff in the Judean desert, that I had to get down. There was a goat track, kinda, that widened out to something more comfortable half way down the mountain, but at the top, there was still a lot of jumping down cliffy rocks required. We were […]
Machazit haShekel
Did you know a whole section of the Sidna Ali cliffs by Herzliya collapsed yesterday morning? The authorities are warning more of the cliffs could collapse from Palmachim in the South, by Rishon, up to Hadera, near Caesaria. I can’t help but wonder, what activity is going on, underground, man-made or directly from Hashem, that […]
The 50th Gate
As is my way these days, I am trying my best to stay off the news. So, when a family member told me yesterday that flights were being cancelled again to and from Israel… I didn’t really pay attention. Then, my kid yesterday night told me, Ima, they are saying there is going to be […]
