11 Shevat 5785
Last night, I saw a tweet on "X" apparently written by a well-meaning Jew in response to yesterday's hostage release and the shocking images of three emaciated men barely able to stand. The commenter made a list of complaints and then chastised the world for "standing by and allowing it to happen." I had to reply, "It's worse than that. ISRAEL stood by and allowed it to happen."
I had the same reaction this morning to a similar remark made by Itamar Ben Gvir.
Israel Realtime Updates reports:
...the sight of the freed hostages having been literally starved to the edge of death, being delivered by well fed Hamas operatives, finally has some mainstream media asking:“What justification is there for bringing hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip tomorrow morning before Israel receives proof and guarantees from the mediators that our brothers will not continue to be starved by Hamas?"Similarly the clean, well fed, well uniformed, well armed Hamas operatives in clean new vehicles will, starting tomorrow, be able to freely travel and transfer weapons and hostages throughout Gaza as Israel withdraws from the Netzar dividing and security corridor - which will no doubt be swarmed by Hamas showing their “power” in capturing it - WITHOUT Israel even being informed if the remaining hostages are alive, dying, starved, or dead....Ben Gvir on the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation in response to the question of why Israel is delaying the deal and not returning everyone? Ben Gvir: "Enough of blaming ourselves all the time, did we kidnap them?"
Following is the most important lecture you can hear today. Please don't pre-judge it. Stay with it from the very beginning to the very end. These are pearls of wisdom and truth that you cannot afford to be without. With much thanks to Rav David Bar-Hayim...
...Maharal, in a telling parable, describes the relationship between the embryonic "kingdom of Israel" and its "Edomite" environment: Fruit grows within a husk; when the fruit ripens the husks falls off... So it is with Israel. Their kingdom emerges and grows from within the kingdom of the nations i.e., from the existential power of the kingdom of the nations, and from their level, it raises itself to a higher level. And when the kingdom of Israel reaches complete maturity the kingdom of nations is removed, just as the husk is removed, and falls off when the fruit reaches its perfection.The Messianic revolution will take place in the hearts and minds of the people. The "falling off of the husk" does not refer to a political or military event, nor does "kingdom of the nations" refer to a political entity. The husk refers to the value system of the Western world. The falling off of the husk signifies the victory of spirituality over materialism, faith in G-d over unbounded trust in one's own power, and awareness of Divine providence over belief in blind chance.
Will this be the first visible crack in the facade?
ReplyDeleteIf US makes deal with Iran, Israel would not strike, Trump says
Donald Trump said in an interview with the New York Post late on Saturday that if a deal would be made with Iran to block its nuclear program, Israel would not attack the Islamic Republic. (ynet)
Regardless of that, are they not still the supplier and supporter of the terrorist entities which murder us with impunity? Is this not reason enough to destroy them??? Must they also be armed with a nuclear weapon???
Returned Hostage’s Mother: “Only The Chareidim Know All The Names Of The Hostages & Their Mothers”
ReplyDeleteMeirav Leshem-Gonen, the mother of Romi Gonen, who returned home about two and a half weeks ago after 471 days in Hamas captivity, said that Romi has kept Shabbos since her return.
In an interview with Kol Berama, Meirav said: “Romi is strong in a way that’s hard to explain. There’s something powerful and connecting in Judaism, especially mutual responsibility, and that’s what kept them going – that people cared about and worried about them.”
Meirav shared that Romi has kept two Shabbatot since her return, and that she and her friend found a way to daven in captivity. “In captivity, the difference between the terrorists and Jewish solidarity, which is the secret of our existence, is very strong,” she said.
Meirav, who became close to the families of Gedolei Yisrael while her daughter was in captivity, said that she wasn’t familiar with the Chareidi community before October 7. “I got to know entire sectors that I didn’t know beforehand and to understand that diversity is part of our power. I feel that we’re on the right path, that Am Yisrael is strong.”
She shared that it was touching to go to Bnei Brak on Purim and discover that the residents daven three times a day for the hostages. “It’s the only community that knows the names of all the hostages and
their mothers because they daven for them,” she said. “There are also pashkivilim [posters] on the streets saying not to celebrate outside because there’s a war. This is part of our shared fate as a people.”
Meirav told Ynet on Tuesday that Romi suffered excruciating pain in Gaza after being shot on October 7 and is now facing complex surgery and a long rehabilitation. Her captors did not provide any painkillers and instead stood and laughed at her suffering.

ReplyDelete▪USAID FUNDED ISRAEL KAPLAN PROTEST MOVEMENT? Public record research shows “Blue and White Future" was almost an inactive association. Until in 2023 it established the Kaplan Protest, and suddenly - out of nowhere - ~NIS 160,000,000 NIS entered its account. In that same year - 2023, it received ~NIS 14,000,000 NIS from USAID. ( MEANING the US “deep state” funded the protest movement that encouraged Hamas to attack due to “Israeli societal division”. ) (Haredi Line)
USAID support of the Kaplan protests was almost certainly run out of this office, which is not in the consulate (where the official USAID office is located) or embassy. In fact, it is not in any online search, but they are listed as a tenant of an office building in the Neveh Tzedek neighborhood of Tel Aviv. I paid them a visit last week, to ask why they were still open. Hilarity didn't follow.
DeleteThis office, called the "Public Diplomacy Section" has two windowless doors, one without any exterior access at all. No door knob and no lock. The other door has an intercom and a safe, presumably where things can be securely picked up or dropped off.
I was asked if I received an "invitation." Presumably to become a recruit or asset of some sort. Spooky stuff.
is Nataniahu becomes far left? that's what i hear, what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI think it might be even worse than that.
Deleteone charedi rabbi in israel said that elite plus our gov want us to be in yeush, helpless and stop believing in our God and in our Future, this is phycological attack. I also think so, we have to be strong, wow it's unbelievable
ReplyDeleteEverything the Rabbi Bar Chaim says is 100% True!
ReplyDeleteBy now, so much is out in the open, these EREV RAV cannot hide it anymore and they don't care because they have the nations supporting them and an uneducated, uninformed totally galutified Jewish population. Hashem Yerachem! The State was started by the Erev Rav and has only grown worse as if it were on steroids. Only Moshiach will be able to undo this horror or Hashem Himself will battle our enemies.
I believe the real Jew cannot be part of these evil misfits; when we
look at history, there is no such thing as any of our forefathers, including the actual 12 sons of Yaakov having anything to do with idolatry. It is only when they came out of Egypt that they still had some
of that evil idolatry in them because they had become (even the best of them) in many ways like the Egyptians.
All we can do is teshuva and pray that Hashem is hastening our Geulah
and we will see the end of all our enemies, from within and externally.
Just heard on the radio that the planets are moving so fast and they don't know why. We're very close.

A big Yasher Koach to Rabbi Bar Chayim. Absolutely correct.
ReplyDeleteShame there is NO common sense left within a majority of our people.
