Drastic Price Reduction!

26 Adar 5786
Shavua tov! 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department has slashed by about 80% the fee for Americans to formally renounce their U.S. citizenship.

After years of legal battles with several groups representing Americans wanting to give up their citizenship, the department on Friday published a final rule in the Federal Register that reduces the cost from $2,350 to $450.

The new fee, which took effect on Friday, had been promised in 2023 but had never been implemented. The cost is now the same as it was when the State Department first started charging Americans to formally renounce their citizenship in 2010.

Renouncing U.S. citizenship can be an intensive and lengthy process. Applicants must repeatedly confirm in multiple written and verbal attestations to a State Department consular officer that they understand the implications of the step before being allowed to take a formal oath of renunciation. It must then be reviewed by the department.

The fee was raised from $450 to $2,350 in 2015 to cover the administrative expenses as the number of people wanting to renounce their citizenship surged in part due to new U.S. tax reporting requirements for American expatriates that angered many.

That dramatic fee increase drew significant opposition from groups such as the France-based Association of Accidental Americans, which represents people mainly living abroad whose U.S. citizenship is due purely to their having been born in the United States.

The association filed several lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the fee, including one that remains pending that argues there should be no cost at all for renouncing one’s citizenship.

“The Association of Accidental Americans welcomes this decision, which acknowledges the necessity of making this fundamental right accessible to all,” its president, Fabien Lehagre, said in a statement. “This victory is the direct result of six years of relentless legal action and advocacy.”  (Source)

When Shabbat Candlelighting is at 5:10 pm...

24 Adar 5786
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Prashat Vayakhel - Pekudei/
     HaChodesh - Mevarchim 

It appears that my dream about the full moon and "Death Comes From the Sky" may have been realized at the beginning of this current missile exchange - 'death' began raining from the sky from missiles launched out of Iran, and aimed at Tel Aviv, two days before Purim.  Now, two weeks later, there is another sign from a series of dreams I had during that original time frame (2004-2005).

I wrote about it before in great detail, but I'll try to put it into a nutshell now.  It was a recurring dream that I experienced four times and then a fifth time a full year after the series of four.  Each time, it was on Erev Shabbat.  Each time, I "woke up" late to the fact that it was Shabbat, surprised not to realize it and disturbed that I was unprepared - nothing was ready.  The food had not even been bought, much less cooked.  Each time the dream begins, the clock shows a later hour - first 11 am, then progressing to 1 pm, then 3 pm and then 5:10 pm.  On the last one, I was talking to a friend with absolutely no thought to Shabbat when a siren blew and I was confused and asking what it could be and the friend said it's the Shabbat siren.  It was timet to light candles.  

The series of dreams stopped and it was about a year later that it occurred one last time and it started with the clock at 5:10 pm; me unaware that Shabbat was arriving, then aggrieved that all of the time for preparation was over and I was now stuck in the situation as it was at that moment.  

My sense was always that Shabbat in these dreams was the Geulah itself.  

If I'm right, like the events that began two weeks ago, we are at another major turning point for the Geulah Shleimah.  Be alert!  Be aware!  The old world is ending and a new one waits to begin.

"Who And What Are Really Precious Before G-d?"

PARSHAT VAYAKHEL-PEKUDEI/SHABBAT HACHODESH
27 Adar 5770/12-13 March 2010

WHO AND WHAT ARE REALLY PRECIOUS BEFORE G-D?

"And every wise-hearted man among you shall come and make all that the L-rd has commanded, the tabernacle, its tent and its cover, its clasp, and its board, its bar, its pillars, the table and its poles, and all its vessels, and the show bread, the candlesticks and its vessels, and its lamp, the altar ... "

Once again the Torah, in the last two parshiot of the book of Exodus, goes over the very detailed laws of the building of the Tabernacle and the making of the Priestly garments. The question that comes to mind is: Why, why would the Torah bother to once again go over all the details of the Tabernacle and garments and repeat who made them, "Bezalel ben Uri ben Chur", when we have just been told that in the past few parshiot? Why does the Torah repeat itself, especially in light of the fact that the Tabernacle, replaced by the Temple in Jerusalem, will never be built and used again?

We find something similar in the book of Genesis, when Abraham sent his servant, the Damascene, Eliezer to find a wife for his son Yitzchak. The Torah relates to us Eliezer's miraculous journey and his self-made test to find a suitable mate for Yitzchak. Then, as if we have never just heard the account, the Torah goes on and re-tells the story again, with all its details. Rashi comments that the acts of the Patriarchs are so dear to G-d that the Torah repeats them, while other principals in the Torah, complex as they may be, are only hinted at in the text.

We must conclude that the repeating of the works of the Tabernacle and the Priestly garments in our parshiot comes to teach us the endearment which the Creator of the world holds for these works. Not only are more than half of the Torah commandments connected directly or indirectly with the Temple service, but we also find that the Mishna teaches us that the world stands on three foundations: Torah study, kindness and the Priestly service.

It comes, then, as no surprise that we find in the books of Ezra and Nechemiah the list of the Jewish people who returned to the Land of Israel at the beginning of the Second Temple period. After being given permission by Koresh, king of Paras, to return and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, the texts go on to list the families who came back home. Pathetically, they numbered only a faction of the entire population, most of who preferred to remain in the exiles. Interestingly, though, the text lists the names of each family that returned and their possessions: "Their horses were seven hundred and thirty six, their mules two hundred and forty five, their camels four hundred and thirty five . . . " (Ezra 2/66). Now, do we really care how many horses or camels they had, that it got listed in the Bible for all eternity??? The equivalent of this would be to list today the Cohen family, who came back to Israel from Baltimore, Maryland with their Chevrolet, does anyone care what car they brought with them when they made aliya? Doesn't seem to make much sense. Rather, once again we see how dear the returnees were to Hashem, that each individual family is listed with their possessions, for all eternity.

Even more astounding is the fact that these very same families that returned in Ezra's time were not really the cream of the crop, to say the least. The people who came from "Tel Melach" were called so because their deeds were like the deeds of the people of Sodom, hence the word "melach", which means salt. "Tel Charsha", which means "deaf", were called so because the people from that city were like deaf people who did not know who their father or mother were. There were Cana'anite slaves, mamzerim, priests who were unfit to work in the Temple service, and a great many who had married foreign wives. Still, the book of Ezra calls them "Cherub", which was the holy angel-like figure over the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. The Talmud explains that in spite of the fact that these returnees were not very righteous, they were regarded before Hashem like the holy "Cherubim". Why? How is that possible? Because they returned to the Land of Israel and helped in the rebuilding of the Temple - they were cherished by G-d!

Well, you ask, what about all the others who stayed in Babylon and the other exiles, all those "righteous Jews"- like today, those who do not return to take part in the Redemption process have absolutely no part in it. All those who stayed were lost to the Jewish people within a few generations.

People, wake up! The Torah in our parsha repeats the all-important work of the Temple service to teach us just how important it is before He who Created this world. And Ezra lists the returnees to the Land in spite of their debased deeds, because they are precious before Hashem. Want to be loved by Hashem? All it takes today is to get on that plane and come home.

Blessings,
Levi Chazen

Is This Iran Celebrating the Holiest Night of Ramadan?

23 Adar 5786

THE NIGHT OF POWER!!! 

In Iran, "Night of Power" (Laylat al-Qadr or Shab-e Qadr) typically refers to the holiest nights of Ramadan.

Religious Significance (Laylat al-Qadr)

In Iranian Shia tradition, the Night of Power is observed on the 19th, 21st, and 23rd nights of Ramadan.

The 23rd Night: Generally considered the most likely date for the actual "Night of Power".

Practices: Iranians typically stay awake until dawn (Ahya), reciting the Quran, performing special supplications like Jawshan al-Kabir, and often holding the Quran on their heads in prayer.

Who Is Afraid of a Rebuilt Temple?

22 Adar 5786

Previously, I have written about the three wars of GoguMagog being connected to Land of Israel (WW1); People of Israel (WW2); and, Torah of Israel (WW3).  That's why the third war was launched on Simchat Torah and was called the Al Aqsa Flood by the Arab enemy. 

Make no mistake!  That war did not end and a new one with Iran begin!  This is still the same war, but expanded.  And while everyone was looking the other way, we were invaded by the US military and the Israeli regime is still waging their own war on Torah...

Closure Order Issued Against Ponovezh Yeshiva L’Tzeirim in Bnei Brak

A dramatic development unfolded Tuesday in Bnei Brak when an inspector from Israel’s Ministry of Education arrived at Ponovezh Yeshiva L’Tzeirim on Rechov Harav Meltzer and delivered an immediate closure order, claiming that operating the yeshiva during wartime places the talmidim at risk. The yeshiva administration is expected to appeal the decision.

Illegal Israeli construction evacuated in Samaria, Binyamin and Gush Etzion

Security forces operated overnight to enforce against illegal Israeli construction in the Khirbet Abu Falah area in Samaria, Almoriyir in Binyamin and Rashidat in Gush Etzion. The construction was carried out in violation of the law on Area B and on private Palestinian land, and the evacuation was conducted in accordance with a security order signed by the Central Command.

Already, once again, Trump is talking about stopping short of winning (The 31st of March: Trump’s Secret Deadline for Ending the War in Iran).  There are American "boots on the ground" in Israel and they are here to ensure that Israel does not win this war, that Israel can't win this war, but they are doomed to fail.  

The three wars of GoguMagog also correspond to the three ascending levels of kedushah in the Land.

1. The whole Land of Israel.
2. The area of Yerushalayim.
3. The area of Har Habayit.

We have gained control over each level in succession.  It is no coincidence that (whether you agree with it or not) Jewish "rights" have been expanded on Har Habayit. 

As of early 2026, Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem have significantly expanded, marking a major shift in the decades-old "status quo" that previously prohibited non-Muslim worship at the site. This shift, driven by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and supported by police, has moved from quiet, forbidden prayer to openly permitted, structured rituals.

Key Expansions in 2026

Permitted Prayer Sheets: In January 2026, Israeli police began allowing Jewish visitors to bring authorized, printed, single-page prayer sheets (containing the Amidah) onto the Temple Mount for the first time in years.

 

Public Prayer & Prostration: Jewish visitors are now often permitted to pray audibly and, in certain areas of the eastern side of the compound, to perform full prostration.

Structured Access: These, actions, previously met with immediate expulsion or arrest, are now officially sanctioned and, in some cases, guided by staff from the Temple Mount Yeshiva.

Increased Visitors: The number of Jewish visitors has risen, with approximately 68,429 ascending the mount in the Hebrew year ending in September 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year.  (Source:  Google)

And then there is this - during Ramadan!!!

As of March 6, 2026, Israel has closed the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Mosque compound) to worshippers and visitors of all faiths, including for Friday Ramadan prayers, due to safety precautions amid the ongoing war with Iran. (Source:  Google) 

Why do you think there is a sudden obsession among the worst antisemites alive right now with the subject of the Temple Mount?

Tucker Carlson Accuses Chabad of Fomenting Holy War Over Temple Mount via Iran Strikes

The former Fox News host alleged the movement is behind inciting a religious war to rebuild the Jewish temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. A Chabad spokesperson called the claims a 'dangerous blood libel'

Why is HKB"H bringing such attention to this right now???  Because we are reaching The End and nothing can stop it now. 

It’s Happening! Tucker Carlson Is Actually Helping To Rebuild The THIRD TEMPLE!

Third Temple Patch Worn by IDF Soldiers

No non-approved symbols on IDF uniform, Chief of Staff Halevi says

Since the start of the war, the IDF has noticed a growing trend of soldiers attaching non-approved symbols to their uniforms, leading to concern, Maariv reported this week.

One such incident occurred when [former] IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi visited Golani Brigade combat forces ... in southern Lebanon.

He met a soldier who had put a “Messiah” patch on his uniform during his visit. The symbol is associated with Chabad-Lubavitch.

Halevi approached the soldier, removed the patch, and placed it in the soldier’s shirt pocket. He explained that if the patch was important to him, the soldier could keep it in his pocket, but it should not be displayed on the official uniform.

“Only military insignia on the uniform,” the chief of staff said firmly.

When the time for redemption arrives,

no power on earth can stop it!

An article appeared today, in both Hebrew and in English, which I believe corresponds to an important signpost predicted to herald our redemption.  I wonder if anyone caught something like that today.  Did you?  Care to share?
