  1. While no one is allowed to say what Hashem is doing it would appear to the human eye that some very serious things are taking place in our world. Torah, mitzvos and teshuva are definately the order of the day. Prayers for Australia are particularly important at this time. There are synagogues that have removed torah scrolls from their aron kodesh at this time and the residents are seeking safety elsewhere.

  2. What is this, "While no one is allowed to say what Hashem is doing..."? Says who?

    "Torah, mitzvot and teshuva" has become a phrase without any meaning. First, you have to know what the Torah says before you can do the mitzvot and you have to understand what you've done wrong (and actually be willing to correct it) before you can do teshuva. Spouting this phrase over and over does not cut it.

    What are we supposed to be praying about Australia? "Please, Hashem just stop the geulah process now, it's really just getting out of hand. It's too much for us to bear seeing the Gentiles suffer, and we Jews are still unwilling to break our own will and submit ourselves to Your Will and praise You for the destruction of the nations which You promised to all of the prophets."

    I feel as bad about the Jews caught up in it as I do about those who didn't make it out of Europe 65 years ago. But Hashem always sends warnings and there are always Jews who think they know better than Hashem and spurn His kindness preferring their own rebellious will to His. If they refuse to leave the path of the storm, what can we do? What can Hashem do? Deny their free will choice?

    Hashem sent messengers saying, "Jews, get up and get out of the way, flee home to the place I prepared for you, while I wipe out all your enemies." The majority put on their tefillin, wrap themselves in their tallitot and say, "we prefer the lands of the goyim. We won't go of our own free will, but only when you send us Mashiach and force us to leave these beautiful lands of Exile."

    If Hashem had no regard for His own House, you think He cares anything for the synagogues of the Diaspora?

    THE ONLY PLACE OF SAFETY FOR JEWS IS ERETZ HAKODESH, ERETZ YISTAEL!!!!!
