Is Russia Preparing Something for Turkey?

21 Adar II 5776

Rav Shternbuch received a closely guarded secret that came to him from Rabbi Yitzchak Chever zatza"l, who received it from Rabbi Chaim of Volozhyn zatza"l, who received it from the Gaon of Vilna himself, who revealed it shortly before his death: “When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the times of the Messiah have started, that his steps are being heard. And when you hear that the Russians have reached the city of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul), you should put on your Shabbat clothes and don’t take them off, because it means that the Messiah is about to come any minute.” (Source)

There certainly are some signs pointing that way...

Russia sending reinforcements, military equipment to Syria
DEBKAfile March 30, 2016, 10:23 AM (IDT)

Analysis of the movements of warships and cargo ships from Russia to Syria reveals that Moscow is increasing the pace of its support for the Syrian regime, despite President Vladimir Putin's March 14 announcement that the Russian military would reduce its presence in the Middle East. Internet site marinetraffic.com said that the Yauza, a Russian military transport and icebreaking ship that left Syria in the first week of March, left its home port of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea and is headed back to the Russian naval base in the Syrian port of Tartus. The ship is sailing at a very low speed, indicating that it is carrying heavy equipment, with a Turkish research body reporting that the Yauza is not even leaving a trail in the ocean. Up to 12 Russian military ships are currently sailing in the Mediterranean including oil tankers, patrol ships and the Zeleniy Dol destroyer armed with Kalibr cruise missiles.

Russian nuclear-capable Iskander missiles deployed in Syria
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 30, 2016, 2:55 PM (IDT) 

Russia has deployed its most advanced tactical missile system, the Iskander-M, in Syria in the last few days, DEBKAfile reports exclusively from its military and intelligence sources. The Russian Iskander is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and has never been made available to any foreign army for operational use.

...Its deployment in Syria, amid a bloody five-year civil war, is a game changer in terms of the balance of strength in the Middle East. Its range - from the Russian Hmeimim base in western Syria - covers all of Israel up to the southern town of Beersheba, points in Turkey up to the outskirts of Ankara and the eastern and central Mediterranean including Cyprus.

The Russian decision to scale down its forces in Syria was only part of the picture: Warplanes and bombers are being pulled out, but as fast as they leave, they are being replaced by the most advanced missile systems in the Russian arsenal.

What Is North Korea Waiting For?

Or maybe he just did...


Obama to host world leaders for nuclear summit

Washington (CNN) - Dozens of the world's highest-profile leaders will begin arriving Wednesday in Washington for a major gathering devoted to securing nuclear material.

The session comes at a moment of global unease after terror attacks in Belgium and a steady drumbeat of nuclear provocations from North Korea. U.S. officials say preventing ISIS from obtaining nuclear material remains a top priority heading into the gathering.

President Barack Obama will host dignitaries from 56 nations and organizations for the Nuclear Security Summit, including British Prime Minister David Cameron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Francois Hollande, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

He'll convene a trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Thursday morning, seeking to further improve ties between the Asian leaders who have only recently reconciled after being at odds over historic grievances related to World War II.

Obama will sit for talks with President Xi Jinping of China on Thursday afternoon to discuss security, climate and economic issues.

North Korea will factor heavily into Obama's talks with all three Asian leaders as the hermit nation continues its missile tests, even after rounds of tough sanctions.

North Korea: We Are Ready for ‘Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike’ on U.S.

North Korea has once again asserted that it will use its nuclear weapons arsenal against the United States. Unlike previous statements, however, a note from the rogue state’s foreign minister on Monday insisted that North Korea is fully equipped and ready to use a nuclear weapon on the United States, not just willing to do so.

Foreign Minister Lee Su-yong insisted in a statement Monday that Pyongyang would not hesitate to use their nuclear weapons against America, and they now no longer needed to wait for their scientists to build the weapons necessary for such an attack.

...It is not the first time (this month) that North Korean officials make similar threats. Most recently, the North Korean government released a propaganda video over the weekend depicting a nuclear attack on Washington D.C. The video is titled “Last Chance.”

...North Korean state media has made clear that this latest round of belligerent activity is a protest against a scheduled meeting between President Barack Obama, South Korean President Park Geun-hye, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe later this week. The heads of state are scheduled to meet in Washington D.C. to discuss constructive approaches to curbing North Korean aggression. Park will meet with each head of state individually, as well, according to Yonhap. President Xi Jinping of China will also be in Washington this week and is expected to attend the larger Nuclear Security Summit.


It's "put up" or "shut up" time for North Korea. They'll never have a better opportunity (from their perspective).

PS: Russia did not send a representative to the Washington Summit.

From the Message Entitled: "The Comet Is Coming!"

20 Adar II 5776

Facilitated Communication with Daniel
Jerusalem, 21 Adar I 5776

We've spoken much about the star-comet or "Planet-X' or whatever you want to call it, about what it can do to the earth, how it can change everything in the harshest way, and turn over the world that was so normal into a complete other reality. And also, of course, that most of the people in the world will be killed. They already won't exist. 

I just want to say to all the real-Jews who are attached to HKB"H that it has to be, it has to be this way. Because a person can't destroy the world that HKB"H created. He can't. He can damage it, he can do harsh things to it, but he can't destroy it. Only HKB"H can. It's clear to me without a doubt, that 'Nibiru' exists and will come towards us. I don't know exactly when, but it won't take much time. It's coming to cleanse the mess of This-World.

The population was certain that it is just going up and up, that each generation is better than the one before, but it's a lie. According to the Jews, this is incorrect. According to the Jews - each generation is less than the one previously. So, we are the lowest generation of all generations and therefore, awareness suddenly dawned that for more than two hundred years or much more than that, the Satan has been controlling much of the world. We had big tzadikim, but usually, in the world, the Satan ruled and rules 'big time'.

Now, it will finish. The time of the Satan and his companions is finished. All the evildoers will disappear and only the real-Jews will remain. A real-Jew is a Jew whose neshamah stood at Har Sinai and said "na'aseh v'nishmah". And all the Erev Rav who made so many troubles for us over the years - they will disappear, and most of the gentiles will disappear.

Only the gentiles who understand that they erred by believing in forces other than HKB"H, and the gentiles who didn't believe in those forces, but walk according to what HKB"H said - these will survive. No one else will survive. In the Flood - King Og of Bashan survived, but this time there won't be such as these, only those chosen by HKB"H.

The star-comet will arrive, with all the fear, and with all the destruction, but Am Yisrael who sit in Eretz Yisrael - don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of. We're the children of HKB"H, so don't be afraid. We're together, we're one people. We're the chosen people of HKB"H. That hasn't changed and it will never change.

Prepare yourselves, don't be afraid, you can gather food, drink, etc. (it was said in one previous communication - for two weeks), but don't be afraid, because Hashem will protect us, and also be concerned for us in all that we need. So you should have what you need at the beginning, and Hashem will continue to watch over you and give you what a person needs to live. It will take a bit of time until it finishes, with the sections, in order that we will be able to get used to the new situation. Do not despair. Be with Hashem.

Hashem loves us and does only what is needed in order for us to reach eternal life. So Am Yisrael, be with HKB"H. All the tremendous materialism that we accumulated in the last generations - will completely disappear. The women will be modest and also the men. We'll have all that we need to live, and we'll have much more, from a spiritual point of view, this will be for us the most-most important thing without the unnecessary materialism.

It will be a world that I simply can't describe, because it will be so good - I have no words. And I yearn for it, really yearn, and it will even be better than Gan-Eden, the Gan-Eden that was after the Gan-Eden of Adam and Chavah, in which souls rested and waited to return to this world, but it will be a world 'mi-ayn olam haba'. And it will be for us a Garden of Eden here, like once was.

Again, don't be afraid, because there's no fear, only those who don't trust in Hashem will have fear, and this fear is not good, it will bring suffering, but every real-Jew in the end will be saved. So Am Yisrael, pray to Hashem to save us in mercy, so we won't suffer, so we will always know that there is nothing else besides Him. This star is being sent with the help of HKB"H to help us reach our big tikun and to again enjoy a world that is all paradise.

Q. How is it possible to see the star?

To photograph Planet-X is not so simple, it's not a photograph at a wedding from a distance of a few meters, it's a photograph at a distance of a billion and half kilometers! [Not to be taken as an exact measurement.] And in addition, the strong light of the sun hides all the stars that are located 'behind it'. Therefore, it requires expensive photography equipment or siyata d'Shamaya. Since Planet-X is arriving from behind the sun, then its direction is known, and since during the day the sun's light is very strong, it allows photographing of the sun only at the time of sunrise or sunset, a time in which the sun's light is weakened. According to several pictures that were publicized, you can see the star to the right of the sun at the time of sunrise and to the left of the sun at the time of sunset. In addition to that, you can only see the star from a high place overlooking a plain, on a sunny day without clouds. It's important to remember - don't look directly into the sun since it can cause damage to the eyes even to blindness. You can look via a digital camera or strong sunglasses [some say no to sunglasses].

What's So Special About Palmyra?

19 Adar II 5776

The big news this week is the re-taking of the ancient city of Palmyra by Bashar Assad's forces. But, oddly, it was not the pushing back of ISIS that is being celebrated, but the opportunity to restore the ancient artifacts.

‘Palmyra damage monstrous, but mendable’: Experts accept challenging task to restore ancient city

The plans to restore Palmyra to its former glory are grand but feasible, if it is treated as a task of global importance, experts told RT. Russia’s State Hermitage museum has already promised to help remedy the damage suffered by the ancient Syrian city.

The destruction of ancient monuments in Palmyra became an irreparable loss to human civilization, the deputy director of Russia’s State Museum of Oriental Art Tigran Mkrtychev told RT, joining the call for the restoration of its heritage. He said that Palmyra is perceived by the world community as something more than just a monument of archaeology of the Ancient East.

“This place is the bridge between the East and the West, is the westernmost point of the Great Silk Road. That is quite a symbolic place in the history of human civilization,” Mkrtychev emphasized.

Does that seem as bizarre to you as it does to me? It gets weirder. According to the article...

‘Overwhelming silence on magnificent victory for the civilization’

Apart from UNESCO, there’s so far been little international reaction following the Syrian army’s success in retaking Palmyra.

NATO has declined to comment on the liberation of the ancient city. Apparently as a response to the lack of British officials’ reaction to the victory in Palmyra, the Russian Embassy in the UK posted a picture on Twitter saying – “keep calm and keep silent.”

Marcus Papadopoulos, Editor of Politics magazine, believes the reason why the international community is in no rush to comment on the liberation of the architectural site lies in their own ineffectiveness in fighting terrorists in Syria.

“There is an overwhelming silence in Britain and America on what was not just a magnificent victory of the Syrian army, and not just for Syria, not just for defeating terrorism, but for the civilization. The reason is America and Britain is not genuinely fighting terrorism,” Papadopoulos told RT.

This stands out for another equally weird reason. The following was reported by the New York Times on March 19th...

NEXT month, the Temple of Baal will come to Times Square. Reproductions of the 50-foot arch that formed the temple’s entrance are to be installed in New York and in London, a tribute to the 2,000-year-old structure that the Islamic State destroyed last year in the Syrian town of Palmyra.

...It will be uncanny and thrilling to see this arch from an ancient desert civilization set against the bright lights of New York.

Michael Snyder of the End of the American Dream blog commented on this...

In an attempt to “preserve history”, two exact replicas of the 50 foot arch that stood at the entrance to the temple will be erected in April 2016 in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London. Needless to say, a lot of people are quite disturbed by this. In ancient times, child sacrifice and bisexual orgies were common practices at the altars of Baal, and now we are putting up a monument of worship to this false god in the heart of our most important city.

Keeping in mind that the US/UK alliance created and controls ISIS and that Syrian forces could not have retaken the city without Russian air support and considering that the criticism above comes from a Russian source, it just makes you wonder if this is all part of some kind of East-West power struggle. Not East-West, as in Yishmael/Eisav, but East-West as in US/UK (i.e., the Vatican) and Russia - who will occupy the final seat of power of the New World Order? 

In a subsequent blog post, Michael Snyder speculates...

In April, part of the Temple of Baal that stood in Palmyra, Syria will be reconstructed in Times Square in New York City and in Trafalgar Square in London. The specific portion that is being erected in both cases is the 48-foot-tall arch that stood at the entrance to the temple. The Institute of Digital Archaeology is the organization behind this effort, and the display of these two arches is intended to be the highlight of UNESCO’s World Heritage Week late next month. After seeing my initial story, one of my readers observed that an arch is really just a gateway or a portal. In other words, it can serve as both an entrance and an exit. So could it be possible that we will be unknowingly setting up a gate or a portal of some sort in Times Square?

...This sounds like the plot for some really twisted episode of “Stargate” and not something that is supposed to happen in the real world.

And as I reported yesterday, the Institute of Digital Archaeology hopes to put hundreds more of these arches in major cities all over the planet.

What in the world are they thinking?

If we want to take all of this to another level of creepiness, let’s recall what I talked about the other day. Baal evolved from the chief god of the city of ancient Babylon known as Marduk, and Marduk can be traced back to an actual historical person. This historical person was known in Sumerian literature as “King Enmerkar”, and in the Bible he was known as “Nimrod”.

And we know that Nimrod led the rebellion against God at the Tower of Bavel and is reincarnated in this generation to lead the New World Order in a final attempt to unseat God as King once again.

...The cult of Marduk was the root of all of the ancient pagan religions of the Middle East, Egypt, Greece and Rome. In those other religions, the deity of Marduk came to be known by other names such as Baal, Osiris, Apollo, etc. And today there are many secret societies and occult groups that look forward to the day when this pagan deity will be resurrected and will return to rule the world once again.

Which brings me to comment on something mentioned in the most recent facilitated communication from Menachem:

...They say that Obama is a Muslim. But he's not a Muslim at all! He believes in the Satan. His style - the Muslims hate because it's against their laws, against their rulings. Someone like him known on account of his viewpoints - they would immediately take off his head, but he doesn't believe in Muhammed as a prophet, and he doesn't believe in HKB"H, and he also doesn't believe in Yeshu. He believes only in the Satan.

Now, what does it mean to "believe in the Satan"? Well, don't look for the Hollywood version of "devil worship" with drawn pentagrams and bonfires and people in hooded cloaks. The first clue we are given is at the very beginning of the human story in B'reishit...

Chavah: "But of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, "You shall not eat of it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.'" [Rashi: She added to the command; therefore, she came to diminish it. That is what is stated (Prov. 30:6): “Do not add to His words.” - [from Sanh. 29a]

The Satan: "You will surely not die. [Rashi: He pushed her until she touched it. He said to her, “Just as there is no death in touching, so is there no death in eating” (Gen. Rabbah 19:3)]. For God knows that on the day that you eat thereof, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil."

Because the Satan's words appealed to her ego and her desires, she listened to him, i.e., she believed the lie he told her about Hashem and consequently disobeyed His instructions. 

And what was this "lie"? That HKB"H had His own selfish reasons, God forbid!, for instructing humans not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. He did not want competition, as it were, from humans, but to keep them subservient to Him. The Satan presents himself as the great human liberator.

These we call the evildoers give worship and honor to him as such. To them HKB"H, is the villain, God forbid!, in the Creation story and the Satan is the hero who liberated humanity to become gods in their own rights. Such a person was Hitler, y"sh. The Jews who insist on remaining enslaved to this One God and who insist on keeping all of humanity enslaved to His Book of Instructions are viewed as the enemies of mankind and all who think and believe accordingly must be eliminated in order for mankind to realize its full potential and attain godhood, God forbid!.

We see these ideas being expressed in all kinds of ways in the world today. The creation of a new one world religion with HUMAN interests above all is a key part of their plan to unseat HKB"H as the One God and Power in the world.

To the extent that humanity admires, honors and celebrates human achievement and potential, it is in fact, worshipping the Satan. And it is no less so when, in Israel, this takes the form of State, Military, Nationalism, or so-called "human rights" and "democracy".

By this, it should be clear to everyone that a very great part of the world today is already worshipping the Satan!! God forbid!!

Also, I have to be clear about something very important here. Some Jews may be taken in by the Xian claims about the fulfillment of New Testament "prophecies" about the End Times. You have to understand that it is the Church which has been directing this plan for hundreds of years and they have made a point of "fulfilling" their own prophecies so as to fool the masses and use it to lure them in.

To sum up, this plan to replicate the Gates of the Temple of Bel, not just in New York and in London, but at another 1000 locations around the world, is part and parcel of all we have talked about until now. Mankind celebrates human achievement through building. It's why they built a "Tower up to Heaven", and why the vision of ever taller skyscrapers marks the progress of humanity across the world and why the falling of the Twin Towers was so devastating. It is also another sign of how very close we are to the very end of this blasphemy the evildoers call "modernity" and "progress". In their eyes, the fulfillment of human desire is the ultimate goal of all life.

May our own eyes bear witness to their ultimate downfall along with all evil. Amen!

Upwards Into Infinity

Mommy, I don’t know what else I can say but I do feel that this week we are going to have more proof, strong proof that this planet, this red planet, with its long tail is coming towards us on planet earth. I feel that many will start realizing that this is no joke and that all the things that we have been talking about and have appeared in the more silent media are about to come true IY”H.

I feel a deep sadness in my heart and in my body. I feel a catastrophe of enormous proportions about to hit the earth. I feel overwhelmed by the thoughts of the future events, but together with that I feel at the end of the terrible difficulties, there will descend on the earth and its survivors a feeling of calm and an unbelievable feeling of relief. After that there will again be a war that will test our Bitachon, the trust in Hashem of His survivors, the Jewish people.

But we will see such great miracles, such great Nissim that all our fears will disappear and we will feel a closeness to Hashem that we did not think possible. Then after that, we will enter the Bais Hamikdosh, which will be ready for us after having descended complete from Shomayim. After that we will enter the most holiest place with the feeling of relief which will turn into the greatest Simcha that we have ever expressed and that will begin our journey upwards into infinity.

Economic Problems Abound

18 Adar II 5776

For those who are requesting complete translations, I will try my best to accommodate with God's help, bl'i neder. Meantime...

Excerpts from Daniel's message of 25 Shevat 5776:

Do you not understand?! There is going to be a huge economic collapse all over the world, and it's impossible to save the economy. Why? Because they stole most of the money! The banks are working on "hot air" (something artificial, not real). There's not enough money within the bank to pay all its debts... And this is organized, it's not that each one does it separately, it's a system. Stealing the money, sending to England, and from England - transferring [it] to the Bank of the Vatican. This is the system and this is the way....

Now, when a person wants to pay someone or transfer money to someone, he goes to the bank and transfers to the other's account, without cash. The money passes over in numbers alone. He wants to buy a car - he gives a check. The check is not money, once again - it's numbers. Today, all over the world, if a person wants to go to the bank and take a large amount of cash, from his own money, then they ask him: "What's it for?"... And he has to answer all kinds of questions, and sometimes they tell him he can't take it out...

Huge Changes Coming April 1st - More Signs Banks Have Begun 'Tightening The Screws' With World On Edge As Insiders Warn: 'Get Out While You Still Can' And 'Try To Hold On To What You Already Have'

...banks and credit card companies have begun 'tightening the screws' by changing limits on an individual basis if they so deem that your planned purchase needs to be 'censored'. Should we be concerned about the banks telling us what we can or cannot buy?

The banks responsibilities are laid out clear as day in the notice below.: "We will assign a credit access line to your account, and post it on your monthly billing statement. We may cancel, change or restrict your credit availability at any time. Each transaction is considered for approval on an individual basis, including those above the credit access line.

What Happened When I Tried to Take $1500 Cash Out of Bank of America-Bank Holiday is Near

Yesterday, I went to Bank of America to withdraw $1500 cash. You would of thought I had a sign around my neck saying that I was a heroin dealer.

The teller went and got a bank officer who began to question me:

Bank Officer: Sir, what are you using the money for?

Me: I am using it for a legal personal matter. Beyond that, it is none of your business.

Bank Officer: Sir, we can put a hold on your account.

Me: Mr. Bank Officer, I will remove my entire account and deposit it to another bank if I do not have my money in five minutes and I want my money in $100 bills.

Bank Officer: Sir, your threats will not work here and if you are not cooperative and fill out this form, I will call the police and notifiy the IRS. (He wanted me to fill out a Cash Transaction Report which is not required unless your withdrawing $10,000 or more)

Me: Mr. Bank Officer, I refuse to fill out your report because it is not required unless I withdraw $10,000 and your may call who you want…. You obviously do not know the law and who I am. Between my writing and broadcasting, I reach over 2 million people per month. I would say that statistically about 400,000 people have B of A accounts who listen to me or read my articles. Before the end of this month, you will see sizable withdrawals based upon my recantation of this conversations in the public domain. By the way, I am recording this.

The bank officer walked away and disappeared and then came back in a few moments. He instructed the teller to process my request.

Bank Officer: I have reviewed your account history and you have been an excellent customer. You are obviously using the money for honorable purposes. I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Me: Thank you. The purposes for the use of my money, is none of your business, it is a matter for law enforcement. You should think about this when you try to bully the next guy.

I am certain that the threat of my reach and potential action against Bank of America did not influence bank officer’s decision to honor my request. I am sure he called his boss and that they have now filed a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), and my business affairs will come under the scrutiny of the IRS and possibly the FBI....

I requested that my money withdrawal be disbursed in one hundred dollar bills. They had one, count it, one, one hundred dollar bill in the entire bank.

I asked the teller if the bank was making good on the rumor that they were phasing out one hundred dollar bills in their incremental move towards a cashless society. The $10 per hour teller said she they did not know what I was talking about....

New Messages and Commentaries

18 Adar II 5776

There are two new messages: "The Comet is Coming!" (28 Shevat 5776, 21 Adar I 5776) by Daniel and "Show Hashem That You Are With Him" (RH Adar II 5776) by Menachem.

Instead of translating them word for word since most people seem to be google-translating them anyway, I will only translate excerpts on which I wish to comment. I hope that will be agreeable to everyone. Here is the first example. The following comes from the message by Daniel...

Am Yisrael! Don't allow the evildoers to take our Yiddishkeit, don't be afraid of them! Do you understand this? It has to be. Each one must have the courage not to allow [them] to take from any Jew what is most important to him and that is  - his connection with HKB"H. HKB"H will protect us, those who want the truth. Those who live with the truth - will survive. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You're familiar with the song: ("Gesher Tzar Meod") - "The whole world is a very narrow bridge - and the main thing is not to be afraid at all"...

The following story which was reported last week demonstrates this idea precisely...

Israel Air Force Mashgiach Kashrus Shaves His Beard Under Threat of Being Jailed
An Israel Air Force mashgiach kashrus who maintains a chareidi lifestyle shaved his beard under threat of being jailed for refusing an order if he did not. The soldier serves in a major air force base in central Israel. Persons close to the soldier explain he shaved while crying for it was the first time in his life since his beard began growing that he was without it, for in his eyes halacha compels him to maintain a beard. However, he feared if sent to jail he will lose his position as mashgiach.

This is why we are admonished to have the kavanah of being willing to give up our lives al kidush Hashem if necessary when we say the Shema prayer. This mental exercise prepares the soul to take the correct action when confronted with such a situation. It is something we should be thinking about every day and we should be teaching it to our children, too. 

I think today's children may be over-protected in this regard and thus less prepared to act in the right manner as the situation may require of them. Just something to think about and pray over.

Parshat Tzav 5776: A Very Special Haftarah

15 Adar II 5776
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Shushan Purim

(H/T OU Torah Tidbits - Parshat Tzav)

Haftara 19 p'sukim Yirmiyahu 7:21-8:3 and 9:22,23 

Okay. He's the TZAV story. Back on page 5, lower-left, we already told you that the last time we read the regular haftara of Parshat Tzav in Jerusalem, was 21 years ago. 

Outside of Yerushalayim, it was read 8 and 11 years ago. But not in Jerusalem. 

Check this out. In all PLAIN years (P'shuta, 1 Adar, 12 months), TZAV is the Shabbat before Pesach, making it Shabbat HaGadol, for which there is a special haftara, pre-empting Tzav's regular haftara. That already covers 63.16% of the years. 12 of every 19 years.

Among the 7 different types of M'UBERET (2 Adar, 13 months) years, sometimes Tzav is Zachor (6.66%) and sometimes it's Para (16.3%). 

Outside Jerusalem, that makes 86% of the time, Tzav's haftara is pre-empted. 14% of the years, it is read. That's an average of about once in seven years. 

In Jerusalem, Shabbat Purim is on Parshat Tzav in another year-type, bring the frequency of Tzav's haftara being pre-empted to 90%. That means that we read the regular haftara, on average, only once in ten years. 

But the year-types are not evenly distributed. In fact, as mentioned above, it has been 21 years since we read the regular haftara of Tzav in Jerusalem. Before that, we read it three years earlier. That shows you how irregular the distribution of year-types is. 

Finally, to the haftara. Read it and weep. A borrowed expression from poker and from a Disney movie, but sadly appropriate to this week's haftara. 

Attached to a sedra that speaks mainly of korbanot, the haftara via Yirmiyahu, castigates the people for getting it all wrong. Korbanot were not meant to give you the misplaced feeling of complacency that you can do anything you want, including alll kinds of corruption and sins, and think that the Beit HaMikdash and the korbanot brought there will guarantee that one will be automatically forgiven for any and all misdeeds. 

The hardest thing to read in the haftara is G-d's saying that He will suspend KOL SASON V'KOL SIMCHA, KOL CHATAN V'KOL KALLA from the people. It hurts to see that expression of great joy of a wedding being used to severely reproach the people. The phrase actually occurs four times in Tanach - only one of the four times does it have the promise of good and happy times. 

The haftara is so tough on the people of Israel, that we finish it with two p'sukim from a later chapter. Of these two concluding p'sukim, the first warns the wise not to be arrogant because of their wisdom, nor the strong with their strength, nor the wealthy with their weath. 

One can only be glorified in increased knowledge of HaShem. 

It's almost as if the odds against having this haftara are so high in order to spare us of its devastating message. May we be zocheh to better understanding and appreciation of G-d and His many qualities.

Wishing You and Yours Purim Joy!

14 Adar II 5776
Happy Purim!

I came across something that you might find interesting.

About ten years ago, there was a website that was featuring weekly reports by a student of a mekubal in central Israel. At that time, he was speaking a lot about the geulah process and what to expect in the future. The student was reporting what he heard in this rav's shiur and self-admittedly did not always understand what the rav refused to spell out clearly but only hinted at.

I saved that discussion thread and here is an excerpt that appeared two weeks before Purim 5766...

...the Rav said that the final Berur is getting closer, and he said that this Berur will be a hard one, and that it is a Berur to the whole people of Israel, no matter if we're talking on the most secular Jew in the world, or on the most Charedi Jew. The Rav said that the major Berur will be through a hard Nisayon in faith. He tried to conclude the subject and go further, but the audience tried in any way to push him to get more info, and this is more or less what they could get from him:

(a) The Berur's duration will be 72 hours.

(b) The Nisayon will be based on choice: are we choosing HaShem or not.

(c) The Rav hinted that there will be something in the sky, and he was very unclear about what exactly this will be. ...and there will be something like a lethal bomb threatening ch"v to blow on us. [However, in another place the rabbi says: "There will not be atomic bombs but there will be a complete darkness...."] These were only hints, not more than that.

The audience asked more details about the exact type of the Berur that will be, and about the kind of Nisayon that he's talking about, and the Rav again talked with unclear terms and hard to understand hints. He gave them 2 answers:

(1) He said that it's known that Rav Bnayahu said in the past that we should be prepared to deliver our soul and die on Kiddush HaShem,

(2) He said that the test in something similar to something that may happen if we see in our eyes as if not only that HaShem is not choosing us, and not with us, but He is actually choosing others, and helps them clearly, and the question is whether we will continue to believe in Him and in the Torah after such a situation that may happen. Again, only hints and nothing clear.

The Rav concluded the lesson by saying that in the help of HaShem we're going to enter the month of Adar this week, and this is a month that we should expect in it that actually every day the Geulah will come....

In a post two months earlier, the student also reported: "He said last week that the Algavish stones that are to fall on Gog and Magog are meteors."

Was this mekubal hinting at Nibiru ten years ago just before Purim??? 

Purim is the holiday where Hashem acted in a concealed way and Pesach is the holiday where Hashem acted in a revealed way. Today, Nibiru is still concealed, but soon it will be revealed for the whole world to see. And then Mashiach will also be revealed!!

TA'ANIT ESTHER 5776

13 Adar II 5776

In Jerusalem and environs - 4:07 am to 6:12 pm.

Excerpts from Cry To Hashem by Rabbi Daniel Travis:

...Face to face with the threat of complete annihilation, Mordechai directed us to turn our hearts to Hashem in prayer. On the thirteenth of Adar, before going to war against our adversaries, the Jewish people fasted and prayed that they should succeed in battle. Ta'anis Esther was established to commemorate this day of fasting and prayer, tzom and tefilah (Rosh, Megilah 1,1).

If we have tzaros we usually consider davening as a means to be freed from them. In truth however, troubles are the "illness" and tefilla is the "cure." The real reason for our tzaros is that Hashem wants to hear our tefillos (Rav Chatkel Levenstein zt"l). Before we can appreciate the myriad of hidden miracles that Hashem did for us during the days of Mordechai and Esther, we first need Ta'anis Esther in order to focus on the fact that all the tribulations and subsequent redemption were for the purpose of reestablishing a relationship with our Creator....

Annulling Harsh Decrees

Kabalistic literature reveals another reason behind the fast of Esther. Even though Haman's plans were overturned, a small part of the decree remained. Every year, at the time that his plans were to be carried out, the Satan comes to Hashem, claiming that the Jewish people should be destroyed.

...The Rambam writes that when the Jewish people are experiencing such tragic situations, the Torah obligates us to cry out to Hashem and sound trumpets to arouse us to repentance (Bamidbar 10:9). If we realize that our own actions are at the root of our difficulties, we will learn to mend our ways and cause the harsh decree to be rescinded. If we don't follow this path, and instead relate to what is happening as mere coincidence, the tzaros will simply increase (Rambam, Hilchos Taanis 1:1-3, Mishna Berura 576:1).

In the merit of our fasting and prayers this Taanis Esther may all past decrees on the Jewish people be overturned, all future decrees annulled, and may all of Haman's evil intentions be put to an end once and for all.

AMEN!

"IT'S REAL!" - Conclusion

12 Adar II 5776

Communication with Aharela and Menachem
Yerushalayim, Motzaei Shabbat Kodesh
Parshat Vayakhel, 26 Adar I 5776

Menachem:

"I want you to understand, that Gedolei Hador (the spiritual leaders of this generation), or everyone that is considered Gadol Hador today, are not at the level, however you want, of what we had in the past. And it's written that such will be the situation." [Itzhak Drahy] We need, each Jew in himself, when it comes to important things, like the draft, or in general every other connection to the state, to understand: it's forbidden! We need to understand this to the end: the state can't make anything for us but troubles. We sit here in Eretz Yisrael because we are Jews who want to be here, and especially at this time just before the arrival of Mashiach. And that's everything. And it doesn't matter to us who is in control as long as they leave us alone, but when they begin to bother us and to try to turn our children into serious sinners - then we have to fight against it. It's an obligation! We can't allow them, without opposition, to spoil our next generation, or to confuse us and take money from them, and think that they are 'helping' us, that they're "the good ones", that their money comes from heaven. Right, the money really comes from heaven, but they 'stole' it, or received it in an incorrect way. And their goals to give us money - it's not for our good.

So, it should be clear: rabbis who say all kinds of things in favor of the state, or in favor of the army, it's simply not our rabbis. Each one chooses his rav, and we also are choosing our rabbis. And how will it not be - Aharel'e is really right, we don't have much time. The world is about to return to the situation that was before the flood. In the same manner as it was just before the sin. And then with G-d's help, we'll pass the test and we will be able to enter really into Gan-Eden.

Q. In the past, there were those who were carried away and combined nationalism with the Torah...

A. We're not talking about that. I don't want to talk about that, that's how do they say? Water under the bridge. I don't want to talk about things like that. We have the reality of today. Hashem wanted the evildoers to settle the land, and the land is really flourishing, in this they are right. But it doesn't help, because they did it for incorrect reasons. Yes, the simple pioneers, they believed in it, the unfortunates, those who shlepped them from their shtetls, and brought them to Israel, and fed them Zionism, poisoned them. It turned them into complete seculars.

And this is a plan of the organization which is greater than the Zionists, which overall is the one who put it together, who created the Zionists and sent them, and that's the 'New World Order'. Those who did it intentionally, because they wanted to arrive to Israel and rule. And they wanted to take it from the Jews, and that the Jews would cooperate with them, that the Jews would be part of their new religion. And that's the whole reason that Russia and the United States voted in favor of the establishment of the State of Israel. Indeed, it was not at all logical that the two of them would vote for it, what interest did they have with this thing?!... Just that, the 'New World Order' got along much better with the Zionists than with the Arabs. They don't like the Arabs and they don't want the Arabs. They want to conquer, G-d forbid, the center, the heart, the 'kishkas' of HKB"H so to speak, and rule over everything. And where is this? It's Jerusalem. And they have to turn the Jewish people who are thought of as the Chosen People of HKB"H to their religion, and thus, according to how they believe, they will win, G-d forbid, G-d forbid, over HKB"H. But they have a big surprise still waiting for them, a surprise that will bring them not just to death, but will disappear them in general from the reality!

I just want to tell you again: The world today is filthy! Not every person of the world today is filthy, but the majority are filthy. And therefore - the majority will die. But, Am Yisrael, is truly the Chosen People of HKB"H. And we, all our souls belong to HKB"H. And when we will really be in a situation where we will be able to take down the partitions, and cling only to our source - then it will truly be Gan-Eden, it will really, really be Gan-Eden!

'Someone' Is Trying to Get Our Attention

11 Adar II 5776

"Hey! All you people looking down at your devices! Look up here!!"

On March 21st, green comet 252P/LINEAR will fly by Earth only 5.4 million km away-- the fifth closest cometary approach on record. One day later, a suspected fragment of the comet will pass even closer (3 million km). The name of the fragment is "P/2016 BA14,"....

By all accounts, the comet fragment is "pitifully faint." The parent comet, however, is relatively bright. Indeed, it is now on the threshold of naked eye visibility for observers in the southern hemisphere.

...The comet is green because its vaporizing nucleus emits diatomic carbon, C2, a gas which glows green in the near-vacuum of space. The verdant color will become even more intense in the nights ahead as 252P/LINEAR approaches Earth.

There is a chance that the comet's approach could cause a minor meteor shower. According to the International Meteor Organization, "[modeling by forecaster] Mikhail Maslov indicates that there might be a weak episode of faint, very slow meteors (15.5 km/s) on March 28–30 from a radiant near the star μ Leporis." Little is known about meteors from this comet, so estimates of the meteor rate are very uncertain. Maslov's models suggest no more than 5 to 10 per hour.  (Source)

"IT'S REAL!"

8 Adar II 5776
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Parshat Vayikra-Zachor


Communication with Aharela and Menachem
Yerushalayim, Motzaei Shabbat Kodesh
Parshat Vayakhel, 26 Adar I 5776

Aharel'a:

I'm compelled to speak, compelled to speak, compelled.

Don't believe those who say that all kinds of rabbis have said that this star - it's just imagination. They will yet see what is the truth. The star - it's not imagination. This star, the comet, is hiding itself now behind the sun, and when it comes out - woe to all the world. And it's not correct that it doesn't exist, clearly it exists. And even the scientists have known for a few hundred years already that it exists.

[See "Note" here.]

And NASA knows it from their telescopes. Of course they know. They have telescopes that can see clearly. But, not only that. They sent satellites in order to see it, and they're seeing it all the time. People said that they sat there, and saw it, saw it come, and saw it clearly how it's getting bigger and bigger. It exists - and in a little bit it will appear, b'ezrat Hashem.

And not only that. When it will appear - then the balagan will begin. And all the asteroids that they are saying are supposed to fall maybe-tomorrow on Earth, and afterwards nothing will fall, then it's just nonsense. They want to confuse us, that if we believe that NASA thinks some asteroid or giant meteor will fall, and it doesn't fall, so there's not so much to check... But, it's not like we're saying about the star-comet that's called 'Planet-X' or 'Nibiru', that it can turn over all the seas all over the world and raise up the waves in the sea to the height of a building higher than two hundred stories. So, we don't want to know it, we don't want to believe it. They want to continue the world the way they think it ought to be. But it won't help them. That's what is written in the prophecies and what is written in the Zohar, and they will have to accept it whether they want to or not. And it's impossible now to say that this rabbi or that rabbi says otherwise...

Q. Why are these rabbis saying this?...

A. I don't know why the rabbis are saying it, and it's not for me to decide why they said it. But it's wrong.

Q. There were those who said in the rabbis' name that the words of the Zohar about the star-comet that it will appear before Mashiach - it's something spiritual, not physical...

A. First of all - it's physical 'and how'. And it will cause a not-for-no-reason balagan on Earth. And most of the people on Earth will disappear. But it has to be. It's written clearly and it has to be. And it's not spiritual. People think that if it's spiritual then it's easier... But if it was spiritual - we wouldn't pass any test at all, because it's much harder, a spiritual test. And now it's also spiritual, but it's also physical, and we must withstand it, and Hashem will protect us. Hashem will protect us especially in Eretz Yisrael, and especially-especially in Jerusalem. And every real-Jew will be saved. And we can not say it too many times. Every Jew will be saved, if he's a real-Jew, and if he calls to HKB"H, and requests from Him, and implores: 'Please, please save me and my family', every Jew who accepts Him as the Almighty. There's no doubt that it is also spiritual as well as physical. And all the evildoers have to disappear, all the evil has to disappear, because if not - then, what have we achieved? What do you think, that the Pope, may his name and memory be blotted out, and all the antisemites in the world, y"sh and all the murderers who belong to the Catholic Church or another church, or all the Muslims who are killing Jews without end, do you think Hashem will leave us in a world with people like these?!...

And another thing. It's written clearly in many sources, how in our era - the evildoers will be in control and the Erev Rav will rule over Am Yisrael. It's written clearly. And it's also written that these evildoers, the Erev Rav, they won't just be Erev Rav, those who went out from Egypt, they're also Amalekites. And the Amalekites - they're the eternal enemies of the truth, and they also have to go. So one who is with peyot, and a beard, and a kosher circumcision, he also can be Erev Rav, Amalek. And we don't know exactly who belongs where, so how is it possible to know which rabbi belongs to what?!... I know it's hard to say, but it's true. And we, our great tzadikim are already gone, almost all of them, and we don't have, we don't have, we're already orphans, almost completely. And whoever rules over Am Yisrael today - it's the askanim, and who knows who from among them is a real-Jew or Amalek? They are many one-with-the-other, this group against that group, so who is right? Who's the tzadik? Who's the liar? I don't know - and you don't know, so we can't deal with it at all.

Q. I want to understand a bit better this subject of which you speak. First, regarding the star itself, there are those who are saying that they are seeing it only in the south, and there are those who are saying that it is already influencing the magnetic field of the earth... What is really happening with the star-comet currently?

A. There's no doubt at all that it's already influencing the earth. So, again, they can search for themselves. The incidents of earthquakes, went up 800 percent from ten years ago! And volcanoes are really erupting one-after-another, there hasn't been anything like this in the world! And the strange weather. Indeed weather - the evildoers know how to play with it, but they can't blow up so many volcanoes, and can't make 800 percent more earthquakes. And there are many more signs that I don't know, but I know that Earth is already suffering from it strongly.

Q. It turns out that it's still impossible to see it...

A. That's not correct. NASA sees it all the time. Just nonsense, NASA knows exactly where it is located, and they can calculate exactly when it will arrive.

Q. But they're not reporting to us...

A. Correct, but actually why are they not revealing it? Because they want to go into their bunkers, and they don't want to be bothered. They're afraid that everyone will comprehend that they have bunkers to hide themselves in there, then the people will begin to run to these places, and to search how to get in, and make them problems. And even if there will be an army to help them - the army also doesn't know yet that they are going in there and leaving them outside... - so, also the army is likely to also turn into the enemy of those going in, 'Why are you leaving us outside?'...

Q. When you, the autistics, began to speak about the star it was not in such a decisive way like you are speaking now...

A. Because we couldn't. We need to introduce the people to it slowly-slowly, because if not - then they explode. They begin to go wild before the time.

Q. The tail of the star, is it dangerous, or is it just something beautiful?

A. Definitely dangerous, because it's bringing here many meteors which will fall on the earth, and that's written in the Zohar, And not only there, also in other sources.

Q. Could it be that after all it will arrive here only in another two years?...

A. Really no. Correct, there are those saying so. But it's pointless. They make a lot of disinformation, false information. They're inserting in all kinds of places on the internet and in the news and in all kinds of places, inserting lies in order to confuse everyone. And all the idiotic elections in the US - it's all to distract, because there won't be elections! There won't be elections at all! And they're just doing it. And they started two years before the elections! Never before in the history of America, as far as I know, at least in recent times, did they start talking about elections so much time beforehand. So it's all nonsense, and there won't be elections.

Q. Nu, then when will the star appear?...

A. I don't know a date. I know it's in the near future. Keep looking at the sky, the moment we see the star - you need to run. There will be a time that it will be very close. The size of the moon's distance from us, and it will be possible to see it clearly. You'll look at it like you're looking at the moon, and you'll see clearly that it's not the moon.

Q. Are we talking about this year?...

A. This year, this year, this year, this year!...

Q. Someone asked, then in what should we invest now, in gold?

A. Yes, because if afterwards you will want to buy something then only gold will have value. But, the greatest value will be in food. But I don't need to worry, Hashem will give us food, He'll give us like mann, I don't know which way exactly it will be, but Hashem will give us. He won't leave Am Yisrael without worrying for them. But again I say: Come to Eretz Yisrael, all the Jews who are able, because it will be much better here, much easier. And I'll tell you another thing. That is that the Jew is getting up, and is traveling from some land in Western Europe or from the United States or from South Africa or from every place that there is materialism, he is getting up because he really believes that HKB"H is bringing Mashiach now - he will get a lot of 'credit'.

Q. Let's say that he arrives next week... So, where will he go?... He has no relatives, he has no apartment, he has a family, and children, where will he live?

A. That's not my problem. Everyone will be shocked when the things will happen. So what will I say to you, come let's say, just for example, that next week the star arrives, behold then you would come, and you would settle somewhere, you would manage...

Q. When there is this situation - that's different, they would help them. But, this way, people don't suddenly open the doors to refugees who are arriving...

A. Ok. This is the choice of every person, to get up and get out or not. But if not - then not, but it's not saying that they won't be saved, but it will be much harder. I say again: The safest place is Eretz Yisrael. And there are people who have homes here, and despite this they don't come here. So this I don't understand, I don't understand at all! But they want to continue their parties and their way of life. One thing I can say: Next week [March 6-12] will be full of surprises, this week that we are going into. And if that doesn't move anyone - then I give up.

Q. Surprises for whom, for Jews there in chutz la'aretz?...

A. Things that will cause them to begin to think that maybe it's worthwhile for them to begin to move even if they can't sell their houses. [?, ?, ?, ?, ?] I'm talking about chutz la'aretz, from outside of Israel there will be big and interesting things.

Q. So when will Mashiach come? Maybe at Pesach...

A. You know it's forbidden for you to ask it... but you should know that really we're feeling it already.

Q. There are those saying it will happen, the arrival of the star, the day after Purim...

A. I can't answer questions like these. I can only say that what's written in the Zohar - it will be. I can only say that Pesach it's very capable, and from Purim - it's already also very strongly capable, so it could be at Purim and it could be after it, but we need to be ready for it.

Q. Are we ready for it? In what do we need to prepare?...

A. Just don't be afraid. I can't say more, just don't be afraid. It will be something amazing. Read, read, see what is written. When the sea rises like this then don't be afraid?!... Also the Mediterranean Sea will rise! It won't bother Eretz-Yisrael, but it definitely will be scary when it rises...

Q. They said that Tel Aviv won't survive... and what about Red Haifa?...

A. Tel Aviv isn't Israel, it's not Israel at all, and also Haifa - not Israel, at least part, to the bottom part. Indeed, the part where Jews live won't be hurt.

Q. How will the birur be exactly, once you said the evildoers will run away from here...

A. Correct, they will run away from here, but not everyone will run away, there will be enough who will remain here and they won't believe that there could be a thing like this. And when it arrives almost-at-the-end - many will disappear and will run away, and there will be enough who will remain and be annihilated in the days of darkness. I only know that it will be very, very hard, the evildoers who don't flee - will disappear in the days of darkness that are about to be. And the moment the star will arrive - there will be a better feeling. A feeling of release. You don't understand that those who sit here in Eretz Yisrael, and really believe in HKB"H, and sit inside the houses, and don't go into bunkers or try to cover themselves with I-don't-know-what, simply go into the houses, and close the doors and pray strongly to Hashem, these people, when it comes, it will release something, big. And we will feel how the evil disappears. And so this will be such a good feeling, like this feeling of relaxation...

Indeed, still standing before us is the war that's called 'Gog-uMagog', but we won't be the ones fighting, only HKB"H will send Mashiach to fight it. And after it's finished - the great liberation!... All the evil will have disappeared completely!!!

Q. When and how will Mashiach be revealed within this scenario?... before?... after?...

A. Enough, enough, enough... I can't say... but it's written that HKB"H will send the Mashiach to fight against the evildoers who come against Israel, 'The War of Gog-uMagog'.

Q. In the Zohar, meaning that it will be after the revelation of the star, that then a fire will go out from Eretz-Yisrael to burn up the evildoers...

A. Correct, and he, the Mashiach, he is the one Hashem will send to fight against Gog-uMagog.

Q. Once you said that the kosher Jews, who are currently feeling so downcast, who only want to cover themselves and not get out of the bed... but at a certain stage we'll feel that Hashem is fighting for us, and we'll feel power, be strengthened. When is it happening - this stage?

A. When will it happen - it will happen... but not much more time.

That's it. I said everything and I will tell you: 'Have a good week.'

[Menachem's part to be continued, iy"H...]
