13 Adar 5775 Ta'anit Esther What’s The Solution For The Iranian-Persian Threat? ...As we approach Purim, we find, amazingly, that the dangers we face today uncannily mirror those of antiquity, and the lessons of the Purim narrative and the miraculous salvation delivered “in those days, during this season,” provide much instruction for us to integrate and practice in our time as well. ...The events of Purim, which transpired some 2,500 years ago, were centered in ancient Persia, the site of modern day Iran. The evil Viceroy Haman conspired with King Achashveirosh to commit genocide on all Jews living within the Persian Empire, comprising 127 provinces, most of the known world at that time. What triggered that terrible decree? What had the Jews done to deserve total annihilation at that time? In fact, this very question was posed by the Rabbis of the Talmud (Megillah 12a). One of the answers given is that the Jews of that generation were guilty of having participated in, and having derived pleasure from, the grand royal party thrown by Acahashverosh to celebrate his enduring rule over his vast empire. In partaking of this extravagant bacchanalia, the Jews had betrayed their heritage, history and, most grievously, the teachings of Hashem’s most precious gift to them, Torah and Mitzvos. Celebrating Achashveirosh’s sovereignty and enjoying his largesse reflected their desire to get close to the King and gain acceptance in secular society. This diminished Jewish loyalty and fealty to Hashem, the King of Kings, and represented a denial of the recognition that all of our needs are provided for by Him alone and not some pagan King of flesh and blood. Furthermore, the Talmud relates that Achashveirosh utilized the vessels of the plundered Bais HaMikdash (Holy Temple) to serve his guests at the party. In addition to profaning the holy vessels through immoral usage, reveling in such a party the demonstrated that the Jews no longer held out hope, or worse, had no desire for the Temple’s eventual reconstruction! ...Valiantly, fighting against this ruinous trend stood one man, Mordechai the Jew, who remained steadfast in his belief and commitment to Torah true Judaism. He strongly admonished the Jews not to join the feast and to resist the temptations of assimilation into Persian society. Alas, they did not heed his call. (Read the whole thing HERE.)
12 Adar 5775 [Note that this is my own translation; therefore, any errors are mine alone.] BS"D Communication with Daniel Jerusalem, 19 Shevat 5775 "Better Than Gan Eden!" ...Therefore, I ask you, why suffer?!... Now, now! Try, do, leave the materialism, leave it, in a little bit there won't be money! We will need to have trust only in Hashem - and not in anything else. We already know that all the matters of the doctors, the hospitals, the national insurance, the politics and heads of state - everything lie, lie, lie... Only on HKB"H is it possible to depend - and not anything else. We're trusting only in HKB"H, the Master of the World, and we have no power without it. We're a small people, 'tiny', like I said - we don't have power, but if we are with HKB"H - there's nothing in the world that can defeat us, not in this world or any world. But, we need to want, to want to leave the golden calf, to want to go up spiritually and leave the materialism, to seclude ourselves from the world of lies around us, to close ourselves within our homes, synagogues, and study halls, and not allow the evildoers to attract us to their lies. And if we will do this - then we will have eternity. Eternity - that every day, at every moment, we will have enjoyment and real happiness greater than the moment before, because we will come closer and closer to HKB"H until we will become one with Him. I can't explain exactly what will be in the World to Come, only a bit of it am I able to tell. What I am able to tell is that it needs to be something 'above and beyond', something that now we don't have the spiritual tools and ability to understand it, but when we will reach it, we will be healthy and whole in body and soul, we will be so clean from all the dirt and klipot that was stuck on us from the first-sin until the great and awesome day and just this feeling of purity will be like Gan Eden! And much more than this awaits us in a world without the evil inclination. Abba, I yearn so much to see it already, and I know that also every real Jew yearns for it, and now, Abba, we need to separate ourselves from the gentiles, from the goyishness, from the immorality, and from all things hated by HKB"H, and to try to do only His will, us as well as our spouse, as well as our fathers and mothers, also our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren. Again: Go into our 'as-if-ghettos', put a barrier between us and the world, and return to the Torah of Moshe like it needs to be: in purity and in holiness. Q. What is the meaning of screaming to Hashem? A. First thing, every Jew has to make an accounting with himself, to recall all of his sins, even the unintentional ones, and also, Hashem protect us, to recall the sins that were done intentionally. He needs to go over each sin, and do teshuvah with a broken heart and many tears, with a tremendous desire to do teshuvah, with heartache over the sorrow that he caused to HKB"H because of his sins. And then, he needs to ask HKB"H for forgiveness for every Jew, male and female, adults and children. For all Am Yisrael. To ask from HKB"H to forgive and to tell how much Am Yisrael tries to be good, say to HKB"H how hard it is to be a Jew now, after almost two thousand years of exile - Am Yisrael is still putting on tefillin, keeping Shabbat and kashrut, praying, celebrating the holidays, many are speaking Yiddish to distinguish themselves from the gentiles, the yeshivas are full of young men learning, etc, and even though it's very hard - the young couples are ready to birth child after child however hard it is financially, to raise them, and marry them off. Raising them in the way of the Torah and ready to raise however many children, and there are families who have even twenty children! We need to speak and to tell (to HKB"H) the good things that there are about Am Yisrael. We know that we are the lowest generation, and despite this we want to be good, want to do Hashem's will, but the world confuses us and brings us down. We're screaming to Heaven so Hashem will save us, so He won't forget us. After all the years in exile - we didn't forget HKB"H, we're weak - and only You, Hashem, can save us. Request from HKB"H that all Am Yisrael will merit to receive our righteous Mashiach, and that we will merit the World to Come of Mashiach. Next year in the Beit Hamikdash!
12 Adar 5775 [Note that this is my own translation; therefore, any errors are mine alone.] BS"D Communication with Daniel Jerusalem, 19 Shevat 5775 "Better Than Gan Eden!" ...We've heard from all that everyone is writing about our situation, the hard situation - truly hard, and we need to know it, because only when we will feel what a hard situation we are in, then maybe we will wake up and scream to Heaven, and we will understand what's most important and what's less important. That the main thing - it's holiness, and the unimportant thing - it's big, expensive weddings full of immorality. We need to know what a catastrophic situation we are in, in order to know that we need to scream to Heaven. But, now, I think that each one already can know, and if a person doesn't want to know, then it's possible to read our communications once again, it's possible to contact the number (the telephone center) there it's possible to hear all our communications, to look at the prophecies which almost every one has already taken place, and only the end still hasn't taken place. And it will be in just a little bit, with G-d's help. I just want to tell you how to save yourselves. First thing, as we've told you many times - Hashem won't leave behind any real Jewish soul. Every soul that stood at Har Sinai - will be saved, and it doesn't matter how far away she is, this soul is dearest to HKB"H, and Hashem won't abandon her under absolutely no circumstances. But, whoever is far away and doesn't want to know, doesn't want to make a connection with HKB"H, but his soul is the soul of a real Jew, Hashem will save him, Hashem will drag him by force, He will beat him, He will bring him up, He will bring him down, He will bring him up again, until he will accept and will understand that Hashem is the Almighty, until he will connect this most important connection with HKB"H, until he will believe that Hashem created everything, including this same Jew as well as his soul, until he will feel his soul, until this soul will yearn to connect with his foundation - HKB"H. And so, every real Jew will be saved. There are Erev Rav, and in every Jew there is a bit of Erev Rav, because the Erev Rav mixed in all of Am Yisrael. The Erev Rav didn't stand beneath Har Sinai. When HKB"H raised Har Sinai above Am Yisrael, the Erev Rav stood on the side and did not enter beneath Har Sinai and say "na'aseh v'nishmah." They were never really a part of Am Yisrael. Indeed they melded within the people and were 'part', but only superficially. According to the law, they are Jews, but they - no. They are Erev Rav nevertheless. And this Erev Rav, that the majority of their essence is Erev Rav - will disappear. And we've said this many times. It should be clear. They will disappear together with all the evildoers. At a certain stage it will appear to us like the evildoers are winning, but Hashem will turn everything upside down, Mashiach will arrive, everything will turn upside down and we will see the complete redemption. But, we, Am Yisrael, in order to reach it - we have to scream to Heaven, to seclude ourselves with Hashem. We can't fight against these evildoers face-to-face, we're too weak, we don't have the strength, they're very strong, but not from a spiritual point of view. In this we are stronger. But, from an aggressive point of view, bodily strength, strength of all kinds of weapons, bombs, etc., - we don't have. We're just a small group 'tiny' of real Jews in this world. But, we're with Hashem, and if we're with Hashem then they can't defeat us. They can't. Therefore, in order to be saved from this suffering, we have to scream to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and beg with all our essence that Hashem will forgive us, and to say Vidui. We need to ask from HKB"H to help us to connect with Him a strong connection, that Hashem won't blame us and won't punish us for all our sins, that Hashem will help us to do teshuvah and to be holy, again, without a stain on the soul. We need to cry and request - forgiveness as well as closeness, and the moment we begin to remove all the klipot that are stuck to us and break the barrier that separates between us and HKB"H - then we can again become joined to our Source. And this will be better than Gan Eden! (To be continued into one more part, G-d willing)
11 Adar 5775 I apologize to anyone who might be offended by my publishing the messages from Daniel's website. This blog is the place where I share what is meaningful to me and these messages resound with meaning for me and, if my mail is to be believed, for many others as well. I felt this warning was too important to wait until the whole thing was finished before posting, so it will go up in two parts, iy"H. ______________________ [Note that this is my own translation; therefore, any errors are mine alone.] BS"D Communication with Daniel Jerusalem, 19 Shevat 5775 "Better Than Gan Eden!" Abba, the world is becoming crazier and crazier, insane, I don't know, I don't have enough suitable words to describe the mess in the world. We're seeing in every place the evilness coming out, being revealed, going out in huge amounts, and already it's almost impossible to believe in anyone. They're lying to us from every direction. I don't have words to describe it. I didn't dream, even though I knew that we are before the complete redemption, but I didn't understand that it would be so confusing, so bad, that people would lie, make a show and bring the world to an economic collapse, that they could go into our bank accounts and simply take out what they want. Who would believe that neo-nazi movements are rising again today in countries like: Germany, America, England, France, Australia, etc., and causing antisemitism above and beyond together with the Muslims. Who could believe that there would be a group chopping off heads like butchers, and using their imagination to cause death in such a harsh way as they did with the Jordanian pilot - they burned him alive inside a cage. We've already forgotten that this is how Catholics murdered Jews who weren't ready to become Christians. Who would believe that in our days such violent murderous incidents would occur, and without shame - the murderers photograph and advertise it all over the world. Abba, Am Yisrael sees it, and not only Am Yisrael, the whole world sees it, but most of the world is asleep and doesn't want to know. There are a few who understand what's going on, and what are the plans of the evildoers, and how they have already taken over most of the world, but they don't want to know. I don't worry for the gentiles who are the vast majority in the world, the evildoers among them will vanish, I only worry for Am Yisrael, and Am Yisrael, the majority are sleeping a deep sleep and it's hard for them to wake up. What can we do, Abba, what can we do? My heart hurts. You know, Abba, before World War II, rabbis gathered to decide what to do, such a difficult situation, the Nazis were going to conquer the world, G-d forbid, and what were we to do?! They wanted to kill the Jews! What did they do?... So, they gathered all the most important rabbis in order to think what to do. One said to say Tehillim every day, one said to say Vidui every day, each one said something, the last to speak was the Rav of Ponevezh, ztz"l. He said this: "There's a house on fire, the flames are rising into the sky, people are running and running, and it's brought to their attention that Yankele is still inside, asleep. Yankele's asleep - and he could die, but it's impossible to enter the house because the fire is very strong, and we need to wake up Yankele. So one said: 'Let's say Tehillim', one said 'We'll ask Hashem to save him.' But, he's asleep! We don't need to do any of these things. We need to scream: 'Yankele wake up! Wake up, Yankele! Wake up! Go outside, Yankele!' It's a time before war. We're in danger. It's not enough to say Tehillim. We need to wake everyone up. They're sleeping! How can we save them? We need to scream to heaven! To cry! To scream and do teshuvah! It's the single thing that can save us!" But, it wasn't to be, they didn't gather. Each one prayed in his heart and asked, but they didn't gather together to do teshuvah, to cry, to do the Yom Kippur Katan prayers. No! Good, it's all from Heaven. And we are again in the same situation. Once again we are in the same situation. Yankele's asleep - and the house is burning, and there is no one who is crying out to Heaven. And Yankele - it's Ya'aqov, Am Yisrael. Correct that only Hashem can save Am Yisrael, but we have to make our efforts (do our hishtadlut), and scream to Yankele to wake up. We've heard from all that everyone is writing about our situation, the hard situation - truly hard, and we need to know it, because only when we will feel what a hard situation we are in, then maybe we will wake up and scream to Heaven, and we will understand what's most important and what's less important. That the main thing - it's holiness, and the unimportant thing - it's big, expensive weddings full of immorality. We need to know what a catastrophic situation we are in, in order to know that we need to scream to Heaven. But, now, I think that each one already can know, and if a person doesn't want to know, then it's possible to read our communications once again, it's possible to contact the number (the telephone center) there it's possible to hear all our communications, to look at the prophecies which almost every one has already taken place, and only the end still hasn't taken place.

Rough translation (the guy talks so fast!): "He came up to Eretz Yisrael seven months ago. He says in Lakewood from where he came there in New Jersey many people say we can also, but it's hard and there are those who say it's forbidden to go up until Mashiach comes. Are they right?" Rav Kanievsky: "It's a mitzvah to go up." "A mitzvah from the Torah for them to come also now?" Rav Kanievsky: "Yes."
Remember the Malaysian aircraft which went missing last year (in the month of Adar II) and was never found? Among the many theories and speculations about it's ultimate whereabouts, two stand out...
Isaac Yeffet, who served as head of global security for Israel’s national carrier in the 1980s and now works as an aviation security consultant in New Jersey, said investigators were correct in homing in on the two fake-passport carrying Iranian passengers on the doomed flight, and they have wasted valuable time by exploring other leads.
“What happened to this aircraft, nobody knows. My guess is based upon the stolen passports, and I believe Iran was involved,” he said. “They hijacked the aircraft and they landed it in a place that nobody can see or find it.” In the immediate aftermath of the aircraft’s disappearance, which occurred last week during a standard night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, Malaysian officials and the media were fixated on the story of two Iranians who had made it onto the plane with stolen passports. As the days wore on and the investigation uncovered new and confusing details, with officials admitting that the plane could have traveled for as long as seven hours without radio contact, and that its potential location could be anywhere from northern Kyrgyzstan to the southern Indian Ocean, attention has shifted to the pilots and to far-flung conspiracy theories.
Well over a week after the disappearance of flight MH370 - which now is the longest official disappearance of a modern jet in aviation history - with no official trace of the missing plane yet revealed, the investigation, which as we reported over the weekend has focused on the pilots and specifically on Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, earlier today revealed that on his home-made flight simulator had been loaded five Indian Ocean practice runways, among which those of Male in the Maldives, that of the US owned base at Sergio Garcia, as well as other runways in India and Sri Lanka - all notable runways as all are possible landing spots based on the flight's potential trajectories. The Malay Mail Online reported, "The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives, an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres."
...the Maldives news is of particular note since earlier today, Haaveru Online, quoted locals who said they had seen a "low flying jet" whose description is approximate to what flight MH370 looked like. From the source:
Whilst the disappearance of the Boeing 777 jet, carrying 239 passengers has left the whole world in bewilderment, several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a "low flying jumbo jet" at around 6:15am on March 8.
They said that it was a white aircraft, with red stripes across it – which is what the Malaysia Airlines flights typically look like.
Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the aeroplane was travelling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives – Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.
"I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly," said an eyewitness.
"It's not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too."
...A local aviation expert told Haveeru that it is "likely" for MH370 to have flown over the Maldives. The possibility of any aircraft flying over the island at the reported time is extremely low, the expert added.
Why am I bringing this up now? There is a rumor going around the internet that some element of the US government is going to use this aircraft to make a 9/11-style attack on Washington, DC while Netanyahu is giving his speech to Congress in order to blame Iran for it and justify launching an immediate war against Iran. On the other hand, maybe Iran took it all along and they really do plan to make a 9/11-style attack on the US and blame Israel for it... Israel Caught Housing ‘Identical Twin of Flight 370′ In Tel Aviv! Will US/Israel Pull Off Another 9-11?
Like I said before - a movie!
It's interesting that several mekubalim have claimed in the past that Iran already had a nuke or two in hand. Experts rightly point out that one or two nukes with missiles that can't reach the US are not exactly the stuff to destroy the whole world. But, stop looking at it conventionally and imagine how the most damage could be caused with just these items. Iran's best bet for causing the most damage remains with the miles-high airburst of a nuke over the middle of the US. Some have previously conjectured that this would best be carried out by launching from a freighter just off the US east coast. It was reported that launch to explosion would take a bit more than two minutes - too short a time for any meaningful countermeasure to be activated. If it were me, and I was in possession of MH370 (and the cloaking device it was purportedly carrying when it was snatched) and all I had was one nuke - this is how I would make it count. The global repercussions of a nationwide EMP across America would be staggering. It would crush the world economy.
