If You Live in Tel Aviv (or America)...

16 Sivan 5785

GET OUT!!!  Spend Shabbat somewhere else!

If Shabbat, October 7th was the required warning, what will be the ultimate decree for those who failed to repent.  Here is another opportunity to show Hashem that we learned our lesson about what happens to public Shabbat desecrators engaged in debauchery.  Hamas was waiting then and today, Iran is waiting.  What will be Hashem's decision?

Tel Aviv has always been cited by Iran as a favored target.  With what is planned to be occurring at the very time the world is expecting Iran to act, someone perverse thinks this is the way to spend this precious Shabbat which could be the last "normal" Shabbat we will have for awhile.

You can't stop it but you can separate yourself from it.

"The United States will be severely struck because of their pride."   (Yehudit's Prophecy)

American Jews!  I give you the same advice for any parades in America - stay home, pray, do teshuvah.  Do not be out in the public sphere this Shabbat.  It's a matter of pikuach nefesh! 

Thousands upon thousands of protestors plan to be out across the entire nation to object to Trump's policies and his show of military force via a parade in Washington, DC.  There could be rioting anywhere or everywhere.

In a few days, the nation's capital will host its largest military parade in decades — filled with thousands of marching soldiers, rows of tanks, parachute jumps and flyovers.

The event on Saturday marks the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. It also happens to fall on President Trump's 79th birthday, as well as Flag Day.

..."We will celebrate a spectacular military parade in Washington, D.C., like no other," Trump said in a video posted on Instagram earlier this month.

...The massive military parade and festivities are expected to cost between $25 million and $45 million, according to Army spokesperson Heather J. Hagan. Part of the hefty bill could include millions just to repair D.C. streets, since tanks and other heavy armored vehicles tend to damage roads.

Last month, in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump said he stands by the cost of the military display, describing it as "peanuts compared to the value of doing it."

"We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we're going to celebrate it," he added.

...On the same day as the military parade in D.C., more than 1,800 cities across the country are expected to have "No Kings" events — largely protests — to decry what the group says are anti-democratic policies by the Trump administration.

"On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he isn't—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings," read the No Kings website.

...Earlier this week, Trump warned that protesters who try to disrupt the festivities on Saturday would face tough consequences.

"For those people that want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force," he told reporters from the Oval Office. "And I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force."  (Source)

'No Kings' Anti-Trump Protest Locations on June 14

Multiple protests are being held in various cities in each state, but no events are being planned for Washington, D.C.

Organizers say that a major march and rally will take place in Philadelphia to "draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington."

The military parade will take place on June 14 on Constitution Avenue near the National Mall in the heart of Washington. The US Army said that the event will kick off at 6:30 pm and conclude around 7:30 pm. A fireworks show will follow the parade at 9:45 pm.

The parade will start at the Pentagon's north parking lot in Arlington, Virginia, and it will cross the Arlington Memorial Bridge and proceed along Constitution Avenue NW from 23rd Street to 15th Street, covering 0.89 miles, as per USA Today.

...The parade may not be broadcast directly on national TV. But it will be livestreamed across the US Army social media platforms. (Source)

[NOTE:  6:30 pm in Washington, DC is 1:30 am motzaei"sh in Israel.  Even though it starts very late, it will still be Shabbat across the USA during the time of the parade.]
