Welcome to the Purim Plot

This afternoon on the eve of the 23 Sivan, 5765 the Jewish people are going to war against the Erev Rav. People wearing a sea of orange, young and old, healthy and frail, new Olim and Old Sabras are going to sit down and learn. Not in the Beit HaMedrash but in the middle of the Ayalon (the main highway in Tel Aviv) during Rush Hour. The world will not be the same tomorrow night. How this war of the L-rd will be won is still a mystery hidden in the tzafun of the Matzah that we ate at the end of our meal on Pesach night. We go into it knowing that someway somehow we will win this war. It is not just a war against the Erev Rav lead by Armolgus (Shimon Peres) and his enslaved patsy Ariel Sharon, it is a war against all the corruption and lies of Gog W.? and the House of Saud. The wars of Gog and Magog will surely over the next few months if not weeks arrive on Israel's soil. Let us pray for our fighters wearing orange, for only the Jews who have not been corrupted by the Erev Rav and righteous gentiles who can somehow see through the vomit of the international media will be praying for our success. Let us also pray that the Melitzer Rebbe is correct, and that the only battles of this Gog and Magog war will be spiritual ones and not ones which fill the streets with blood.

Yet, tomorrow night a sea of orange will desecend upon the byways and the highways of the Holy Land, armed with nothing else except Gemorrahs in hand and Tehillim in our shirt pockets. Yes, over the next several months the Ark of the Covenant will be revealed in its long lost hiding place. We can pray that Vendl Jones starts his "dig" before Tisha B'Av, but in the end the only solace that we have is that G-d will help us win. For was not this moment foretold by the prophets of old that a king will arise in Israel to war on Hashem's behalf against the dying world of Malchut Edom? Will not the nations of the world gather against Jerusalem to war against this king? Well this is the summer of our discontent. This is the summer when we seek to annoint Mashiach ben Yosef, who will defeat Amalek forever on a Purim to come.

It is worth noting that because of the horrible train accident last week near Ashkelon that this war was delayed one week. Now, I believe, I understand why. From the book of Esther after Haman's plot was foiled, and he was hung on the gallows that he built for Mordechai:

So they (Mordechai and Esther) summoned the King's scribes at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on its twenty-third day, and it was written as Mordechai had dictated to the Jews and to the satraps, the governors and officials of the countries from Hodu to Cush (the entire world), 127 countries, to each country in its own script, and each people in its own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language. He wrote in the name of King Ahashverosh and sealed it with the King's signet. He sent dispatches by couriers on horseback, riders of swift mules bred of mares, stating that the King had given the right to the Jews of every city to organize and to defend themselves; to destroy, to slay and to exterminate every armed force of any people or country that threatens them, along with their children and women, and to plunder their possessions, on one day in all theprovinces of King Achashverosh, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar.

Pray for us all, you armies of daveners throughout the world. This afternoon before the eve of the 23rd of Sivan, the army of the L-rd goes to war.

I will report from the home front, G-d willing, tomorrow night.
