I’ve been having an interesting email exchange, and I wanted to share bits of it more widely here. ***UPDATES*** It revolves around the very crucial discussion about ‘who we can trust’ right now. First, here’s a brief overview of what my correspondent is ‘noticing’: So much of the “media” (including “alternative”, blogs, etc) that were […]
I literally just got sent this from two people at once, at exactly the same time. The Deputy Commander of the Givati Brigade (main combat unit in the Gaza area), literally crying, begged to convey to us, the chareidi tzibbur, that we’re not awake enough to the war situation in Gaza and that the fighting […]
Another excerpt from the Rav’s shiurim from last week. As always, there are a ton of clues contained here, about what was really happening on October 7, 2023. BH, if I have time, I will translate some more later in the week. ==== Except of shiur from Oct 30th, 2023 Now, we are seeing ‘a […]
Shavua tov. Half an hour before Shabbat came in here in Jerusalem, my daughter got a phone call. She was in the middle of doing sponga, with her shabbos songs blaring loudly while I did the washing up. Then the songs suddenly got turned off, I heard some sniffing noises. It took me a minute to realise […]
Just cutting and pasting this from ravberland.com. It’s very powerful, from October 31, 2023, before the 16 soldiers were killed yesterday. The Rav is the only source of ‘news’ I trust, at this point. From HERE. ==== Moreinu HaRav Eliezer Berland Shlit”a’s pained cry to say Tehilim for the protection of the Jewish people, especially […]
I have seven more days of a whole book of tehillim to do…. Until the 30 days are up, November 8. In the middle of all this madness, I also still have what’s left of a wedding to figure out. And lastly – the news is still lying about absolutely everything. Nothing has changed on […]
I got sent this video from Texas, of a young Jewish woman who was inspired to burn her immodest clothes: == There is currently a totally media black out about what is going on with the hundred thousands of Israeli soldiers they sent into Gaza. People are very anxious….. because deep, deep down, we all […]
One is in Hebrew, one in English. I am keeping my comments very reduced at the moment, for a few different reasons. These videos show: Matti Peled – a former Israeli general with control over Gaza who became a ‘peacenik’. Don’t get triggered by his standard ‘left-wing there is no God in the picture’ lack […]
They put up this short clip on shuvubanimint.com ==== Here’s my basic translation of what he is saying: Those who are really going along now wanting G-d – whether they are more of a tzaddik, less of a tzaddik, going up [spiritually], going down – that’s not really what matters right now. Because first of […]
I just got sent this. It has the support of the Rav, too, who is encouraging everyone to participate. This is the flyer: ==== Basically, the top bit says that we are in a really dire situation surrounded by enemies in Israel, in a very difficult position for three weeks, and we really need a […]
