The One Week Countdown to 17th of Tamuz

11 Tamuz 5775

The 4th of July is shaping up to be a firecracker of a day this year and it just happens to fall out on the 17th of Tamuz as well.

In case you missed this YWN article, here's what British Jews have to look forward to next Shabbat...



The Jewish Press is reporting tonight that...

American police forces from coast to coast are on alert from federal officials that the Islamic State (ISIS) is planning to terrorize the country during the July 4 Independence Day holiday.

In case the Israelis are feeling left out, there's something for you, too. It is being reported on the Secret Jerusalem facebook page that...

"...a great deal" of Christian Arabs living in East Jerusalem have received the following letter from ISIS threatening their lives if they do not leave Jerusalem by the end of Ramadan.

Is it just me, or does it feel like everything just went up another notch (again)!

  2. Yes, Devash, it definitely has. Look at what took place in the US- gay "marriage." It's not marriage. In my opinion it is a public slap in G-d's non corporeal face.

    1. So true Leah. Seeing the White House in rainbow colors was disgraceful and definitely a slap in the face of a holy G-d!

      It's not so much seeing the WH in rainbow colors, but seeing the rainbow being misused and co-opted davka by the evil ones!

      It's HaShem's in the first place - a covenant with mankind that He'd never flood the earth again. But we Jews are not supposed to gaze upon the rainbow because it means Judgment Withheld (for now).

      I'm sure it will surprise the homosexuals should "their" symbol get used against them by the Heavenly Courts. They should really let go of it if they know what's good for them, if they can't let go of their sin.

      Rachmana litzlan! Now I wonder whether they consider bestiality- and child-"oriented" people on the same side as they are, or worse yet, could be coerced to do so. Because - if HaShem allows them time before Geula comes - that's coming up next. You know that, don't you? I feel it in my guts. And to blame every Jew for this travesty because of those 3 traitors! Lo' aleinu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      May HaShem spare us!

      But I do agree that this opens the door to a great deal of antiSemitism, as mentioned above.
