The "Dark" Side of Snow

9 Shevat 5786 

...Snow is generally thought of as a positive force of nature. It covers over all the world's blemishes with a pure white coating and softens all the harsh sounds of modern life. But, does snow have a darker side? Here are some interesting insights on snow from an Aish.com article by Rabbi Borouch Leff. 

SNOW: THE DARK SIDE

...Rabbi Tzadok of Lublin explains that there is a mystical klipah (barrier to holiness) called snow which is associated with the nation of Amalek, the Jews' arch-enemy. Amalek attacked the beleaguered Jewish people as they left Egypt, and God instructed us to remember this evil deed of Amalek, as they will always seek to harm the Jewish nation.

In fact, the Hebrew word for snow -- sheleg -- has a numerical value (gematria) of 333 -- the same as the word shich'cha, which means forgetfulness. This seems to suggest that snow is not a vehicle for growth at all. And when we venture outside on a snowy day, we are surrounded by forgetfulness and Amalek. What could this possibly mean?

The Torah tells us to remember what Amalek did as we left Egypt because he "happened upon you (karcha) and attacked."

The simple reading, as Rashi explains, is that Amalek's attack was a surprising and unexpected one -- "he happened upon you." A key aspect of their hideous crime was the sheer brazenness and trickery involved. However, Rashi suggests that karcha can also mean "he cooled you off," coming from the Hebrew word kar -- cold.

As Rashi explains, the Jews were compared to a hot, scalding bath of water, symbolizing their great passion for spiritual achievements as they left Egypt. But Amalek was willing to burn themselves by attacking the Jewish people with the aim of showing that the heat of inspiration will not endure. By doing so, Amalek cooled off the tremendous fear that all of the other nations had for the Jews, giving them license to attack as well.

THE SNOW ANGEL

...the four archangels correspond to the four elements of nature and it is Michael who is the snow angel and also the guardian and defending angel of Israel.

...Michael is made up entirely of snow and Gabriel of fire, and though they stand near one another they do not injure one another, thus indicating the power of God to "make peace in His high places." According to the Aggadah, both Michael and Gabriel will be among those who will accompany the Messiah, and they will then contend with the wicked.

Michael is considered superior to Gabriel in rank and wherever he appears, the glory of the Shekhinah, the Holy Spirit, is also bound to be found. Each nation has its guardian angel, Michael being the guardian angel of Israel. He acts as the counsel for Israel's defense when the wicked bring charges against them before God. According to the midrash, Michael is the angel who prevented Abraham from offering up Isaac at the Akeida; informs Sarah that she will give birth to a boy; rescues Abraham from the furnace; instructs Moses; smites the army of Sancheriv; endeavors to prevent the exile by pleading on Israel's behalf to God; and defends the Jews of Persia when Haman plotted to destroy them.

...Malach Michael...in our time is the...defense attorney of Klal Yisrael. Michael is the one who is going to defend Klal Yisrael in the last moments prior to the geula as it says in Daniel 12:1... There'll be a terrible situation like there never was since Klal Yisrael became a nation....at that time Michael will stand in defense of Klal Yisrael.

...Michael is the one who stands opposite the Sar Malchus Paras, who is today...Iran. Sar Malchus Paras is the gematria of haster astir - that's the hester panim of now, like there was a hester panim in the time of Purim.

...There's an interesting medrash in Esther Rabbah and there it says clearly that Michael was the malach at that time. The medrash says that Haman, while he was being mekatreg on Klal Yisrael, at the same time, ...Michael is defending us....So Michael was [our defender] at that time and Michael will be [our defender] prior to the geula, where Klal Yisrael will be plunged into a hester panim like they were then, where it was Paras and now it's also Paras.

IRAN- U.S.A- ISRAEL. Final Battle?

Rabbi Richter

No Power on Earth (or in Heaven) Can Hinder God's Will

5 Shevat 5786
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Parashat Bo

Excerpt from the Stone Edition Chumash Commentary...

As this Sidrah begins,  the climax of Moses' mission is impending.  The last three plagues, the commandment to sanctify the New Moon (thus laying the basis of the Jewish calendar and the festival cycle), the laws of Passover, and the sanctification of the firstborn are about to come in quick succession.  Soon Pharaoh's resistance will be completely destroyed and he personally will dash through the streets, seeking Moses and Aaron and urging his erstwhile slaves to leave their land of bondage as soon as possible.

The first plague of the Sidrah, that of Locusts, introduces a new element.  God tells Moses (v. 2) that He intends to make a mockery out of Egypt - putting to rest the  haughty presumptuousness of Pharaoh and his cohorts - so that not only Egypt, but even the Children of Israel would know that I am Hashem.  The inclusion of the Jews in that category implies that even believing people are often imperfect in their faith.  That Pharaoh had resisted the evidence of the Divine origin of the plagues is not surprising.  But it seems that even the faith of the Jews, strong though it may have been, was still not perfect.  In fact, it was not until the Splitting of the Sea that the Torah testified of Israel that they had faith in Hashem and in Moses His servant (14.31).

With regard to the first Pesach detailed in this parashah...

...Pesach teaches that when the time comes for Jewish redemption, no power hinders God's execution of His will.  

For what we are about to face, take to heart what Hashem tells us in the haftarah...

"...be not afraid, My servant Jacob, and be not frightened, O Israel, for I shall save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return and be tranquil and complacent, and none shall make him tremble.  You, be not afraid, My servant Jacob" - the words of Hashem - "for I am with you; though I shall make an end of all the nations where I have scattered you, of you I shall not make an end; I shall punish you with justice, but I shall not destroy you utterly."

This applies only if we are truly His servants.

World War III Has To Be

2 Shevat 5786

Here is something you may not have thought of before, but first a few observations...

(1)  The United Kingdom...holds the most significant European collections of Egyptian artifacts, with Germany...and France...also having vast holdings, but the UK leads in sheer numbers outside of Egypt.

(2)  British Arabists were influential British figures...deeply immersed in Arab culture, language, and politics, often advocating for Arab self-determination during the late Ottoman and Mandate eras,.... They emerged as crucial experts after WWI, filling knowledge gaps, and included diverse roles like archaeologists, spies, explorers, and administrators, fostering deep cultural connections and influencing policy on the ground.

(3)  "American Arabists" refers to an influential, tight-knit group of US diplomats, scholars, and intelligence officers deeply immersed in the Arab world, known for their deep language skills and cultural understanding, who significantly shaped US Middle East policy for decades, often holding pro-Arab views.... They originated from missionary families and American universities in the Middle East, creating a unique, often insular, elite within the State Department.   (Source:  Google)

For all of world history, literally everything has always been about the Jews and that is especially true of the World Wars and surrounding events.

World War I resulted in the transfer of the Holy Land from Yishmael to Eisav, but not just any part of Eisav.  It was the "Anglo" part which has always had a soft spot in its heart for the Arabs.  It stood to reason because at that time the British Empire ruled the world.

The Erev Rav, themselves enamored of Eisavian values and culture, used their connections with the new masters of the Land, to position themselves as the emerging ruling class who would determine the course of the Jewish future there.

Then, there were two more significant outcomes:  (1)  A global ruling body was created - The League of Nations; and, (2) the British set up the first secret service organization - the Secret Intellilgence Service (SIS).

The League of Nations was the first global organization for international cooperation, formed after World War I (1920) to maintain world peace through collective security and dispute resolution, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Proposed by US President Woodrow Wilson, it aimed to prevent future wars but ultimately failed, unable to stop aggression leading to World War II, and was formally disbanded in 1946, with its functions transferred to the United Nations (UN).   (Source:  Google)

World War II resulted in a massive influx of Jews into the Holy Land and led to the transfer of world domination from Britain to the United States.  The League of Nations in Europe morphed into the United Nations headquartered in the United States.  The British SIS became MI6 and the US created the OSS which became the CIA.

The United Nations (UN) is a global intergovernmental organization established by the signing of the UN Charter on 26 June 1945 with the articulated mission of maintaining international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among states, to promote international cooperation, and to serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of states in achieving those goals. The United Nations headquarters is located in New York City,....

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was the first centralized intelligence agency in United States history, formed during World War II to gather intelligence, conduct espionage, and perform unconventional, clandestine warfare behind enemy lines. Established in June 1942, it served for just over three years as a crucial component of the Allied effort, laying the groundwork for the modern US intelligence community, including the CIA and Special Forces.   (Source: Google)

It is noteworthy that, outwardly at least, the State of Israel gained its 'sovereignty' and 'rule' by the Erev Rav regime, only with the permission of the United Nations vote.  In point of fact, the State of Israel as a "Jewish" state has only ever truly existed in people's imaginations.  Real rulership just transferred from one super power to another.  

We are now witnessing the very real consequences of having believed this fiction all these years.  People are asking why are we not acting as a sovereign nation?  Why is our sovereignty here being ignored and passed over?  The answer is that it never really existed!

All of this serves to set the pattern for what is happening today, because a Third World War has already begun and it is also meant to serve a greater agenda.  It is the War Against the Torah.  At the end of it, they mean to be permanently rid of God and the chosen People of God.  They really think they can defeat HKB"H.  Instead, they are fulfilling the ancient prophecies which tell us that their attempts to do so will fail and the Torah and Am Yisrael will come out the winners on top.  I think it will help and encourage us if we can understand how it is playing out right now.

Before I go further, though, let's review what the Chaftez Chaim said about these wars...

The famed mashgiach, or spiritual dean, of the Lakewood Yeshiva in New Jersey, Rabbi Natan Meir Wachtfogel of saintly and blessed memory, heard from the Lakewood Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Aaron Kotler osb"m, that during World War I, many people went to the holy "Chafetz Chaim", Rabbi Yisroel Meir Kagan of Radin osb"m, and asked him if this terrible conflict would be the final war. They thought that this might be the war of Gog and Magog.

The "Chafetz Chaim" in his spirit of holiness and humility replied, "After this war, there will be an intermission of several years. Then, there will be another war, much worse than this. Afterwards, there will be another intermission of several decades. Then, there will be another war that makes the previous one look like nothing.  Moshiach will come with this war!"

On another occasion, Rabbi Aaron Kotler told the Lakewood Mashgiach that the "Chafetz Chaim" said that the third war will be the beginning of the Geula, the full redemption of our people; despite the utter severity of this global conflict, the true "sons and daughters of Torah" will survive. These are the people who live their lives according to Torah, severed completely from the ways of the nations. The Lakewood Mashgiach added that he has a promise, handed from teacher to pupil all the way back to Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin obs"m, that in the final war before the coming of Moshiach, all the ehrlicher yidden – the G-d fearing Jews – will survive.    (Source)

It is no coincidence that the idea that World War III is inevitable has become so real that many people the world over are asking if it hasn't already begun.  All of the nations are threatening each other militarily, and some, like Russia and Ukraine, are already engaged in battle; however, an economic world war is certainly in process, led by US President Donald Trump using tariffs and sanctions as weapons.  

World War III, true to the pattern, can also be expected to bring with it a new international "peace" organization, as well as a suitable corresponding security service to carry out its goals. 

So, it is no coincidence that Trump is scheduled this week to unveil his "Peace Board" which has already been hinted to become a "new United Nations," just like the United Nations itself replaced the League of Nations. Global AI surveillance could be the inheritor of MI6, CIA and Mossad, who will likely be rendered virtually obsolete.

I can make a good educated guess that like the League of Nations was moved from Geneva to New York, the Peace Board is very likely planned to be headquartered somewhere else - possibly in the Middle East.

Europe was destroyed in WWII, necessitating the move of global rule to America.  Looking at the growing threat of Civil War going on tin the US right now, as well as the impending dollar collapse, it seems TPTB are finished with the Western hemisphere.  The question I have is, where is the new power base to be moved?  Someone suggested it has already been set up in Dubai. 

Dubai is rapidly evolving into a premier global hub, often described as the "World’s Capital of Wealth" or a "new capital of global finance," particularly in 2025 and heading into 2026. While it may not replace legacy capitals like London or New York in every sector, it is strategically positioning itself as a top-tier, international city, with ambitions to be among the world's top three cities for living, working, and investing by 2033.    (Source: Google)

Doesn't really matter to us.  They have their plans and God has His laugh at their expense.

World War III is the third War of GoguMagog - the one where the entire world turns against us and comes to remove us, not just from our land, but from the reality itself.  

Despite their previous attempts, the first war returned the Land, the second war returned the Jews, and the third war will return the Torah (and the Shechinah). [See Sefer Yechezkel, chapter 43.]  It is they who will disppear from reality.

I think the fact that the war launched against us by Hamas happened on Simchat Torah, as well as the fact that the Arab enemy dubbed it the Al Aqsa Flood - relating it to the Temple Mount, a hint towards the messianic kingdom - indicates that this war which we are currently involved in was actually the start of the third War of Gogumagog - World War III.  

It looks like the next invasion wave is upon us!  Their days are numbered and our joy awaits!

The "Trump Davos" at the World Economic Forum (2026)

World leaders gather at Davos as Trump reshapes global order

This year's World Economic Forum, they say, promises to be one like no other.

In the otherwise serene if not sangfroid Swiss resort town, anticipatory anxiety became increasingly palpable as world leaders were about to converge on it for what is almost certainly going to turn into a fundamental reassessment of the existing international system.

All eyes are on the midweek, as US President Donald Trump is expected to make his first appearance at the summit in six years, arriving amid tensions over his attempts to acquire Greenland, his tariff threats against European allies and his military intervention in Venezuela.

The annual gathering of political and business elites comes as Europe faces its biggest test ever over its relationship with Washington, its economic model and its security architecture.    (Source)

"Persia Will Destroy the World"

1 Shevat 5786

Rosh Chodesh

This is relevant for our time - right now!  The nations certainly are confused.  Jets had already taken off when Trump called off the strike and is now back to talking.

What does it mean that Paras/Persia/Iran "will destroy the world?"  Whatever Iran's next move will be, it will lead ultimately to the downfall of the Current World Order and directly lead to the Mashiach World Order.  

The Yalkut Shimoni (Yeshaya 60:499), records the following amazing but scary prophecy regarding the events that will unfold just prior to the Messianic Era: 

Rabbi Yitzchak said: The year in which the King Messiah reveals himself [5786], all the nations of the world will be fighting with each other. The King of Paras [Iran] will fight with the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom [USA] to seek counsel from them. 

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto leader, spoke to Trump by phone during the week to plead his case, according to a Saudi diplomat and a U.S. official. Salman and the leaders of other U.S. allies in the Middle East were concerned about how Iran would retaliate in the event of U.S. strikes.

Iran had begun warning gulf states that its retaliation would not be as calibrated as it had been after the U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities in June, when Iran telegraphed its intentions and then lobbed roughly a dozen missiles at the al-Udeid Air Base, according to multiple officials.  (Source)

The King of Paras will destroy the entire world,...

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, delivered a particularly aggressive speech today (Saturday), placing direct responsibility for the recent riots in his country on U.S. President Donald Trump. The remarks came, paradoxically, following a public gesture by the American president toward the Iranian regime.

Over the weekend, Trump chose to thank the Iranian leadership on his social media platform, TRUTH Social, after they canceled a long list of scheduled executions. "I greatly respect the fact that all of the executions scheduled for yesterday (over 800) were cancelled by the leadership of Iran. Thank you!" Trump wrote, continuing his refrain from direct military strikes on Iran for the time being.

However, Tehran refused to accept the olive branch. In response, Khamenei launched a harsh attack, claiming the American president’s hands are stained with the blood of those killed in the recent protests.  (Source)

...and all the nations of the world will be screaming and confused and falling on their faces, and they will experience pains like those of a woman giving birth. 

The Jewish people will also be screaming and confused, and will say, "To where shall we come and go? To where shall we come and go?" And G-d will say to them, ‘My children - don’t be afraid - for all that I have done, I only did for your sake. Why are you afraid – the time for your redemption has come!"

* * * 

In the future the children of Yishmael will stir great wars in the world. And the children of Edom [the West] will gather against them, and make war with them, one on the sea, and one on the land, and one by Jerusalem; and each one will prevail over the other but the Holy Land will not fall to the hands of Edom.

[Reminder:  Gaza is part of "the Holy Land"!]

At the same time, a nation from the end of the world will be awakened against wicked Rome. And it will make war against her for three months, and many nations will gather there, and they will fall by her hand, until all the children of Edom will gather against her from all corners of the earth. And then G-d will awaken Himself against them, as it says, a “a sacrificial slaughter for the Lord in Batzra”, and it says, “to shake the corners of the Land”.

And after this, the children of Yishmael will be finished from the world. And all the supernal powers of the nations will be broken, and no power will remain above except for the power of Israel alone.  (Source)
