How Many So-Called Jews Really Don't Believe?

Rosh Chodesh Shevat 5780

They don't really believe in God and they certainly don't believe that they are obligated to fulfill the "difficult" mitzvot.

"...our main service and battle is to break and to remove the strength of the Erev Rav,... the Erev Rav is our greatest enemy, ... the war against the Erev Rav is the most difficult and bitterest of all....

Divre Simcha by Rabbi Simcha Ysachar Ber Chalberstam, zt"l) "...even if we see in them (The Erev Rav) good things like Torah and tradition and good manners and in particular they make peace with everybody and peace is the foundation of everything,...we must reject all these people even when they have good aspects in their behavior because then will be time of clarification and selection and this will be the trial and choice in those days."

The unnoticed speech in which US envoy revealed contours of peace deal

Israel’s right to the West Bank is ‘obvious,’ Ambassador David Friedman said, but also noted that Palestinians are ‘indigenous’ to the land and deserving of independence

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman was one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s special guests on his flight Sunday to Washington for the upcoming festive unveiling of the administration’s much-expected ‘Deal of the Century.’

Having lost his mother recently, Friedman, who is an Orthodox Jew, twice came to the back of the plane during the flight, together with some of Netanyahu’s senior advisers and religiously observant journalists, to lead afternoon and evening prayers and say kadish, the mourner’s prayer.

Friedman is one of the key architects of the US administration’s approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — together with US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner....

...he referred to these Palestinians as “indigenous,” thus refusing to endorse the talking point of many Israelis on the right who consider the Palestinian presence illegitimate and want to encourage their emigration.

Indeed, by calling Palestinians “indigenous” to this land, Friedman was implying that they, too, have rights to it.

In another hint at the deal’s parameters, the US top diplomat expressed his wish for Palestinians to “live in dignity, in peace, and with independence, pride and opportunity.”

"...two million or more Palestinians reside in Judea and Samaria, and we all wish that they live in dignity, in peace, and with independence, pride and opportunity. We are committed to find a way to make that happen."

Hashem's Peace Plan, and therefore, Mashiach's Peace Plan according to the TORAH Commandment (Bamidbar 33:50-56)...

The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying:  Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their temples, destroy their molten idols, and demolish their high places.

You shall clear out the Land and settle in it, for I have given you the Land to occupy it.  You shall give the Land as an inheritance to your families by lot; to the large, you shall give a larger inheritance and to the small you shall give a smaller inheritance; wherever the lot falls shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers, you shall inherit. 

But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the Land from before you, then those whom you leave over will be as spikes in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in which you settle.  And it will be that what I had intended to do to them, I will do to you.

Are You Really Ready to Receive Mashiach?

Rosh Chodesh Shevat 5780

The month of Shevat has already in it a sweetening because the midat hadin [of Tevet] begins to wane and on Tu b'Shevat din turns into rachamim. From Tu b'Shevat until Shavuot, every two weeks there's a yom tov.

...In Shevat we go from din to rachamim.  ...Tevet is the month of din, the month of darkness, the month of concealment, the month of Asarah b'Tevet, the beginning of the punishment, so when we come to the conclusion of Tevet, that's usually the most difficult.  The last week is where midat hadin is very strong.

...The Zohar HaKadosh tells us that there are three months that are the domain of Eisav ... that still have to be turned around and they are Tamuz/half of Av and Tevet/half of Shevat.  So, until Tu b'Shevat there is still midat hadin, but on Rosh Chodesh Shevat, there is already a sweetening because according to Beit Shammai [as it will be in the time of Mashiach] Rosh Chodesh Shevat is actually the Rosh Hashanah Ilanot [New Year of the Trees] when din turns to rachamim.  (Rabbi Sitorsky in his recent shiur on Vayera)

And davka, it was the last week of Eisav's month of din - Tevet - when Eisav and Yishmael converged to establish a Palestinian State under the auspices of President Eisav Trump's "Deal of the Century" and under the guise of standing against antisemitism at the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

How  deluded?  How divorced from reality does one have to be to think any good can come from giving up pieces of Eretz Yisrael or from any person who already gave up pieces of it [Netanyahu] or who will expect us to give up pieces of it [Trump, Kushner, et al.].

Netanyahu gave away Hevron (Netanyahu and Arafat Agree on Israeli Pullout in Hebron) and voted to expel Jews from Gush Katif and has destroyed one Jewish outpost after another while leaving the Beduin encampment - Khan al Ahmar - at peace.  He even gave Kever David to the Vatican! (After 60 Years of Pressure, Israeli Government Caves In to Vatican) and parts of Jerusalem to Putin just now! (‘The Russians are coming’ for more Jerusalem properties)  He already, in his now famous Bar Ilan Speech, laid out the conditions under which he would accept a Palestinian State in Judea and Samaria:

Netanyahu expressed his willingness to accept a Palestinian state alongside Israel, under the following conditions: recognition of Israel as a Jewish state; a solution to the issue of Palestinian refugees outside Israel; demilitarization of the future Palestinian state; defensible borders for Israel; and Jerusalem remaining the united capital of Israel. (Source)

This is precisely what some are claiming is in Trump's Plan.  There are those who cynically claim it doesn't really matter because the "Palestinians" will never agree to it.  First, there is no guarantee of that and second, it's dishonest and a chillul Hashem to say you'd do it if you have no intention of doing it.  However, it's an even bigger chillul Hashem if you say it and you mean to do it come what may! This land is not ours to give away and it violates many Torah laws even to discuss it.

NETANYAHU IS A CRIMINAL according to Torah law, so let's not hear any more about how great and wonderful he is.  He's a treacherous snake and he will oversee our demise if Mashiach delays too long.

And TRUMP IS NO FRIEND OF JEWS no matter how much American and Americanized Israeli Jews protest.  He answers only to his Erev Rav advisors and his Evangelical base who are only interested in reestablishing a strong Christian population in Israel and freedom to missionize Israeli Jews to their hearts' content.  None of these people are "friends" of Jews or of Israel.  The land is meaningless to them except as a stage for their false messiah's second coming.

If you have a problem with anything I have said here, then you may not be as ready to greet Mashiach as you think.  There won't be any compromise on Torah with Mashiach Tzidkeinu and no discussion of, much less actual, giveaways of our Holy Land!!

ANYONE!! who supports the establishment of a Palestinian State on any part of our Holy Promised Land is an ENEMY of Israel - Eisav, Yishmael, Amalek, Erev Rav or even kosher Jew!!

Netanyahu has proudly proclaimed: "Only once in history does such an opportunity present itself, and we must not miss it." Our "once-in-history" opportunity came in June 1967 and it was squandered. It was when all the land Netanyahu now wishes to give away to goyim was returned to us by our Father in Heaven.

Make no mistake! The time is fast approaching when we will secure those lands as well as other lands yet to come back to us - again, returned by our loving Father in Heaven, but this time, we will have Mashiach here with us and he will not let the opportunity be missed!!! (See: Will the Third Messianic War Arrive with Mashiach ben Yosef?)

Gog uMagog Happening NOW!

29 Tevet 5780
Yom Kippur Katan
Erev Rosh Chodesh Shevat
Shavua Tov!

Three bombshells have hit and I only have time to discuss one of them tonight...

• The price Netanyahu has paid to get Na'ama Issachar back (and she has still not been released)

• Why a virus with a 4% mortality rate is being hyped and treated like one with a 50% mortality rate

• How the Holocaust conference evokes Gog uMagog

God willing, maybe we'll get back to the first two during the week ahead.  Meanwhile, I'd like to begin discussion of the third with a quote from a comment I received last week in advance of the conference just held this past Thursday in Jerusalem.

Anonymous     21/1/20 4:37 AM

Do we really think the global elite would gather for a pity party for dead Jews? To pay respects? to honor the dead?

The truth is that this is a high powered cocktail party for the global elite. And a gathering of the global elite cannot mean good things for the Jewish people.

It would not surprise me in the least if behind the scenes, the "deal of the century" is being finalized to impose on the Jewish people. All the major Esavian players are there.

Esau SONEI Yaakov. ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Why can't we figure it out yet????

"The Deal of the Century."  Of course, and they couldn't even wait for the conference to conduct its business before making the announcement.  

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz were invited on Thursday to come to Washington on Tuesday next week for the presentation of U.S. President Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century" Middle East peace plan.

Clearly, the two things are connected.  And both things are part of a war meant to remove us from the face of the earth.  It's another stage of the Gog uMagog War which has been waged upon us since WWI.  

Leaders of 46 countries, far more than have ever been in Israel at one time, are expected to participate in the event hosted by President Reuven Rivlin and Yad Vashem. (Source)

Groundbreaking: Senior Saudi Religious Leader and Muslim Leaders From 24 Countries Visit Auschwitz  (Source)

Eisav in Jerusalem and Yishmael at Auschwitz, on the same day: 46 + 24 = 70 nations which is also the gematria of Gog uMagog! 

[Note that Erev Rav Kushner was with the Saudis at Auschwitz while Super-Xian Pence was in Jerusalem saying Kaddish!]

If initial reports are correct that Trump's "plan" will allow 30% of Judea and Samaria to remain under Israeli control, that still means that 70%! will be recognized by the world powers as the Palestinian State!!  

From there it is only a matter of time.  If Israel does not completely succumb to the rampant assimilation of massive numbers of goyim being funneled into the state, the growing power and encroachment of Palestine on the doorstep will finish it off.

The only way they are going to get Abbas' and Hamas' cooperation with this "plan" is to give them "East" Jerusalem for their capital.  In all his speeches about the US "recognition" of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Trump made it clear he was speaking only of "West" Jerusalem: "recognizing facts on the ground; not predetermining Jerusalem's final status, etc."

However, the plan may now be to use this as an opportunity to provoke a larger war with Iran and the Arabs surrounding Israel, knowing they won't - they can't - accept the terms, if it means conceding all of Jerusalem to Israeli hands. See...

US builds up Mid-East strength against rising tension over “Deal of the Century" and Iran

Only Hashem knows where all of this is leading, but as our anonymous commenter quoted above reminds us, we know that nothing Eisav does is for the good of the Jews because Eisav soneh et Ya'aqov!  And that's why our Sages told us this is a law!  

We're leaving Tevet behind and heading towards the time of our redemption just as we are reading about the first redemption from Egypt in the parshiot of these weeks.  The events of those times remind us that it always looks darkest just before the dawn, that redemption is a process, and that Hashem's promise to send us a Redeemer is sure and true.  Dawn is coming.  Springtime is on its way.  Eisav and Yishmael, even with the help of the Erev Rav, cannot win.  They are doomed to failure and destruction, just like Paro and ancient Egypt.

Leaders of several additional European monarchies have indicated unofficially that they will soon confirm their attendance.

Senior Officials from the United States of America are also expected.

The White House announced Wednesday that Pence and his wife, Karen, would attend the Fifth World Holocaust Forum at Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, in Jerusalem on Jan. 23.

"French President, Emmanuel Macron will be staying in the King David Hotel. Britain's Prince Charles will also he hosted at the King David Hotel.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will be staying at the David Citadel Hotel.

Because the American delegation was late in confirming their attendance, both Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, will be staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel."

Each head of state arriving will be met by Foreign Ministry director-general Yuval Rotem and a cabinet minister. While ministers often have to be implored to perform such tasks, Haiat said that this time there are plenty of volunteers, especially to meet one of the four kings or two princes arriving.

Terminal 1 will be shut down to commercial flights, and every time a leader leaves the airport to his or her hotel, Highway 1 will be closed to traffic. Repeated road closures are expected throughout Jerusalem next week as well, such as when the leaders go from their hotels to the President’s Residence and back on Tuesday evening, or to the Yad Vashem event and back on Wednesday.

“This is not a week to be in Jerusalem if you don’t have to be,” one Foreign Ministry source remarked.

The President’s Residence will be “stretched to its maximum capacity” for next week’s event, Tubi said.
