Will 'Regime Change' Come to Israel?

27 Adar 5775


Has all of this been the set-up for a takeover by the nations? NBC news on a Netanyahu victory...

"...years of American peace efforts in the Middle East teetering on the brink."

"...It could mean the end of peace with the Palestinians, the end of peace with President Obama, and change the course of history in the Middle East for years to come."

Eli Yishai Still Under Attack

27 Adar 5775


Eli Yishai and his party have been under constant attack even though it's over and they are out of the government, and yet the attacks continue...

Yishai Remains Secluded at Home

...now, he is viewed as being responsible for taking seats from both Shas and Yahadut Hatorah. His failure to enter Knesset results in about 120,000 votes being trashed, votes that would have earned additional seats for the chareidi parties.

I don't know anyone who voted for Eli Yishai and his party who would have voted for any of the chareidi parties instead.  They need to know that probably most, if not all, of those 120,000 votes would not have been cast at all had Yachad not appeared on the scene. I certainly would not have voted!

Baruch Marzel expressed his feelings on facebook: "...the Knesset is only a means and not a goal! Our goal is the land of Israel and we will continue to defend it in any situation, from within (the Knesset) or without!"

100%!

Post-Election Analysis

27 Adar 5775


It appears at this writing that Yachad will not enter the Knesset and I am - relieved. I wanted them to win and I didn't. You know? What I really, really want is Mashiach! 

I think that Yachad was created by HKB"H to separate those who are faithful to Him so they could be removed, allowing for a purely Erev Rav government to take power. Now, it can fall and be replaced by Mashiach.

Purim is over. Now, the masks can come off. Geulah Girl thinks that Netanyahu and Obama will find new common ground and become "friends." For sure, the right-wing has been set up for a great disappointment as they will see that the overwhelming victory they gave to Likud (if in fact they did) will result in the very tragedies they were voting against. How else will Am Yisrael learn that the Erev Rav are pure evil and that HKB"H is our only hope of national salvation?

Gam zu l'tov!!  Baruch Hashem!!


(PS: Notice how Moshe Feiglin was removed as well.)

Congratulations to Yachad, No Matter the Outcome

With ten minutes to go before the polls close in Israel, I just want to go on record saying that if Yachad fails to "cross the threshhold", that is all the proof I will need to know that the election was rigged from start to finish. It has too much grass-roots support not to get four seats. In an honest election, I would expect it to get minimally 5-6 seats, maybe 7. 

But, as I said when the party formed and I decided to back it, it is/was a step in the right direction. And for the unity among Jews that it has generated and for the principled stand it has taken and held throughout the campaign and for every adversity it has faced with faith and trust in HKB"H, always taking the high ground, Yachad is the biggest winner out of the 2015 election for the 20th Knesset!

Kol hakavod, yasher koach and todah l'Hashem!!!

Very heartwarming...



THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO VOTE.

THIS IS A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR JEWISH UNITY AND TO MAKE A TIKUN FOR THE SIN OF SINAT CHINAM.

MAYBE IN THIS MERIT, MASHIACH WILL COME!!

YTA - Yerushalayim Torah Academy

26 Adar 5775


A reader sent me the following...

Yesterday, I was at the Aliyah fair in Manhattan and learned about a Yeshiva/Seminary in Israel that caters to olim and gives instructions in English. I had heard about this from a friend and needed to see it to believe it. The school's name is Yerushalayim Torah Academy. It's a high school, which makes sense because it's the older kids for whom Aliyah poses the most difficulty due to the challenges of learning the language.

You might want to post for those outside Israel who fear making Aliyah with older kids.

I want to thank this reader for making me aware of the opportunity I have here. I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of it before. You see my granddaughter is about to graduate from YTA for girls. Although she was born in Israel, she grew up in an English-speaking home full of clueless olim. She had a rough time with school until her mother heard about YTA. It was a life-saver even for the Israeli-born child of olim. 

I highly recommend YTA - Yerushalayim Torah Academy - for boys and for girls making aliyah. And I want to publicly thank Rabbi Samson and Dr. Lisa for providing my granddaughter with a very happy high school experience in Israel.

Kosher Eating

26 Adar 5775

What passes for kosher among most Jews today is not really kosher. We often worry about how unkosher eating can damage our bodies, but I wonder if we worry enough about the damage that it is doing to our souls.

...Almost everything is being influenced by the Egel Hazahav [the “Golden Calf” excessive materialism and the ways of the non-Jews]. Everything we eat has a hechsher but how much of what we eat is really kosher? How much of it is fit to be eaten by a Jew who wants truly kosher food?

And even if the food is kosher, often the wrapper or the advertisement is not kosher. That is a catastrophe because once the wrapper is not kosher the whole thing is not kosher. Because this exposes the Jew and his family to non-kosher images and foreign attitudes that can damage their spirituality, G-d forbid. This endangers their eternal life.

Ice cream, potato chips, hamburgers, chewing gum, pizzas and so on - all that junk has no place in the life of a Jew. This brings the lusts and impurity of the street inside the Jew. Coca-cola, Seven-up, Jump, etc., it's all non-kosher since it is part of the desires and lusts of the goyim [non-Jews].

Even if the ingredients are kosher, the whole street-like style is forbidden. It is similar to Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge: it causes the Evil Inclination and impurities of the non-Jewish nations to come inside us. It changes us both physically and spiritually.

In addition, frequently the actual ingredients are not kosher. Much of the meat we buy today is really not kosher, or at least not on the level of kashrus a true Jew should insist upon eating. And I am not referring only to Israel, America or Europe. In this matter, there are problems the world over.

Everything is potentially problematic; the vegetables, the meat, the milk, all the various baked goods etc. Everything can be problematic because everything is influenced by huge profits. [However it is important to understand that all these and other problems are also important reasons for strengthening and encouragement, because they are signs that our Redemption is very close, and with it the rectification of all problems in the world, as promised by many prophesies in the Bible, see Isaiah 2, Mahral Netsach Yisrael chapter 35, etc. etc.].

A Jew must eat kosher. But he does not need to eat pizza, parve foods that taste like meat, parve foods that taste like cheese, all sorts of ice cream and sweets and so on. These are all part of the lusts of the gentile world.

We must be modest in everything, including in what we eat. We need to eat simple food without too many ingredients that is made at home. It is much easier to be sure of the Kashrus of homemade food, and obviously such food is much healthier for the body and for the soul....  (Source)

Something to think about and improve upon.
