About Jewish Leadership

29 Sivan 5784
Erev Shabbat - Rosh Chodesh I
Parashat Korach

In parashat Korach we have the story of those who challenged Moshe and Aharon's leadership and in the haftarah we read about the installation of our first king.

On the one hand, we see what comes of taking a popular vote - those who put themselves forward for leadership positions are usually after only the power and kavod.  Furthermore, they attempt to attain position by starting rumors, casting doubts and setting people against each other.  On the other hand, we fare best as a nation when we allow HKB"H to appoint a leader of His choosing.  

The myth of a "Jewish and democratic" Israel is dying before our eyes.  The day will surely come when it, too, is swallowed up in the earth, and we will yet see a King appointed to the throne of David!  May it come without further delay.

Bye-Bye 4th of July

28 Sivan 5784

The year 2001 was a banner year for the United States of America, as in...

"Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise the banner to gather our exiles and gather us together from the four corners of the earth...." 

The unparalleled event that took place on September 11, 2001 was the physical manifestation of the fall of their angelic power.  It's been a steady downhill decline there ever since.  The power began to shift from West to East - from Edom to Yishmael.  The Twin Towers may have been replaced by the Freedom Tower, but it was superbly outdone by the Burj Khailfa.

The Burj Khalifa (known as the Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration) is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the world's tallest structure. With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft, or just over half a mile) and a roof height (excluding antenna, but including a 242.6 m spire)[2] of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure and building in the world since its topping out in 2009,.... (Wiki)

Why are people moving to Dubai?

It feels like everyone is moving to Dubai right now with many social media posts telling the world they finally did it and moved to Dubai!

In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula lies a city that has redefined the possibilities of urban living and over the past few decades, transformed from a small town in the desert to a thriving global hub. Captivating the world’s attention!

This is symbolic of the emergence of what the rabbis have called the Fifth Exile - the Yishmaelite Exile.

Ancient Torah Prophecy On Radical Islam's
Emergence REVEALED - The Ishmaelite Exile

It is the State of Israel's continued attachment to (and reliance upon) the West (America in particular) which adds fuel to the fires of Islam.  We live in the East yet we act as a conduit for the exportation of decadent Western culture into our own sphere of influence.  We are spreading darkness not light, Hashem yerachem!!

The day of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776 - was the 17th of Tammuz on the Hebrew calendar.  The beginning of sorrows.  May we merit to see their end in our days!!

The Truth About Our "Friends"

27 Sivan 5784

Just in case there is anyone left who still doesn't "get it."

With Friends Like These . . . 

ALL OF THE "RABBIS" IN A "RELATIONSHIP" 

WITH CHR*STIANS SHOULD BE PUT IN CHEREM!!

Let's Talk Tammuz

26 Sivan 5784 

Even though it is still four days until Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, I wish to go on the record with a prediction (not a prophecy!!).  Based on my own calculations and assessment of certain known facts, I think that this Tammuz is going to see the major turning point of the geulah process.  I think that this is the year the fast days become holidays and I think July 17th, 11 Tammuz, is a date to watch.

Here are some interesting historical events tied to that date...

Purim Tammuz (Algiers) (1775)

In 1775, the Spanish General O'Reilly attacked the city of Algiers and was successfully repulsed by the Dey of Algiers, Mohammed ibn Uman. Tradition has it that flames came out of the graves of the great Rabbis Isaac ben Sheshet and Solomon ben Simon Duran and contributed to the Spanish defeat. To celebrate the miracle of having escaped Spanish rule, the Jews of Algiers instituted a "Purim" on the 11th of Tammuz.

Passing of R. Elchanan Wasserman (1941)

R. Elchanan Bunem Wasserman headed a famous yeshivah in Baranovitch (in what is now Belarus), attracting many bright students. At the outbreak of World War II, he fled with the yeshivah to Lithuania. In 1941, when the Nazis broke their pact with the Soviets and overran Lithuania, he was one of the thousands of Jews who met their deaths, sanctifying G‑d’s name.

The Earthquake of July 1927 

A strong earthquake struck Palestine on July 11, 1927 causing the loss of many lives and severe damage. Lasting seven seconds, it occurred shortly after 3 p.m. during a hamsin when hot winds blew in from the east. The panic-stricken population fled their collapsing homes. Rumors of a catastrophe with many hundreds of fatalities spread rapidly, replete with awesome reports of the broiling of the Dead Sea, towers of water shooting up all about, and the collapse of multi-story buildings.

By the end of the day, the recorded toll was 192 dead and 923 injured. Most of the damage occurred in the mountain areas and most of the casualties were Arabs. Approximately a third of the buildings of Nablus were destroyed. Whole streets collapsed in Lydda and Ramleh. Additional lighter tremors recurred a week later but caused no damage.

The Jewish Yishuv made notable efforts at aid and reconstruction for the Arabs. Tel Aviv adopted Nablus and sent rescue teams and supplies. The American Jewish philanthropist Nathan Straus forwarded a special financial grant. The Arabs were so amazed by the aid of the Jewish Yishuv that an Arab journalist announced that out of gratitude, he would refrain, on that day, from bad words against the Jews. On the other hand, sharp criticism was heard of the little help received from the Arab Countries. (Mordechai Naor: The Twentieth Century in Eretz Israel: A Pictorial History, p. 145)

The Kaf Hachaim notes (576:26) that although many Arabs died, miraculously not a single Jew was injured.

Looking forward with much hope!!
