This morning, I had an amazing thought pop into my head, during hitbodedut.

It was this:

JUDGEMENT BELOW.

(Can you tell where this is going already?)

====

The Midrash in Devarim Rabbah 5:4 says this

 “When there is no judgment below, there is judgment above”. 

This is a very well-known teaching in Breslov circles, as it’s part of the explanation for why we do hitbodedut every single day (try to….) in order to ‘catch’ what we might be thinking, saying or doing that isn’t what it should be.

When a person ‘judges themselves below’, then there is no ‘judgement above’.

And then, all the spiritual harsh decrees are ripped up.

====

Unless you live in a cave, you are probably aware that the misnamed International Court of Justice is currently ‘judging’ the State of Israel for war crimes in Gaza.

This is ‘judgement below’ – mamash.

We all know, the puppets here are working with the puppets there to give the nations of the world an excuse to gang up on Israel and ‘invade’, whenever this pre-planned exercise in hypocrisy actually ends.

(My guess is: in super-quick time.)

====

It’s already totally ridiculous that this ‘came to trial’ so quickly – what a joke!

Anyone who has ever had a court case understands that even the most simple ‘infraction’ takes many weeks, months, and even years before it comes to court.

But here, literally in 10 seconds, Puppet 1 here sent Puppet 2 out for the ‘show trial’ and it’s foregone conclusion.

(Whisper it: a two state solution, ‘imposed’ by the nation of the world….)

====

In the meantime…..All the nations of the world have now officially ‘ganged up’ on Israel.

And spiritually, this is also fantastic news.

Why?

This comes from something that Rav Yaakov Moshe Salmanovitch had to say eight years ago, at the height of the first wave of terrible persecution of Rav Berland.

Snippet:

“Everyone has an element of trying to do things *le shem Shemayim *(for the sake of Heaven), but how many terrible things have been done here already, that aren’t for the sake of Heaven?

“Hashem looks after the person being chased [or persecuted] – even if it’s a Tzaddik who’s persecuting a wicked person!

But that’s not even what’s going on here.”

====

Yet again, we see the parallel between what the (misnamed) ‘justice system’ in the State did to the Rav over the last 12+ years…. and what is now happening to Israel, internationally.

But pay attention to this bit:

Hashem looks after the person being chased.

====

B’kitzur – the nations of the world have just managed to blast all the ‘spiritual dinim’ stacked up against Israel into outer space.

Let them chase, with all their puppet-show planned show trial.

Where it really counts, now THERE IS NO JUDGEMENT ABOVE.

Which means things are about to get really interesting.

In a good way, for the Jewish people who are doing their best to hold on to Hashem, to at least try to follow His Torah – and to stick close to the real Tzaddikim.

Hold on to your hats.

REMINDER:

You can help to write the Rav’s Sefer Torah for the soldiers in the following ways:

20,000 nis – donates a whole section of parchment (including the actual writing), and gets your names transcribed as donors.

5,000 nis – donates a page (parchment and writing).

OR, donate whatever amount you can afford.

In all cases, just go to THIS link, and make it clear in the comments that the donation is for the Rav’s Sefer Torah.

YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A ‘STAGED’ DONATION OVER A FEW MONTHS, IF YOU WANT TO BUY A PAGE ETC, BUT CAN’T AFFORD TO DO IT IN ONE SHOT.

And may all the decrees be sweetened very, very fast.
