The Shadow of the Dung of the Jackass
Many years ago in the early first year and a half of this blog, I wrote a post quoting the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin 98b in which I discussed The Dung of a Jackass in the light of Rav Ezriel Tauber's sefer Days Are Coming. In that book Rav Tauber brought down that there will come a moment at the End of Days when the physical stuff of the Universe (or at least our quadrant of the Universe where we were placed to refine) could no longer be refined. I postulated in that post that one of the reasons for some of the Rabbis in our generation for making the error of joining in with Sharon for IS 290 million shekels was because we had already arrived at the point of peering through the dung of the Jackass, the Chomer (the physical stuff) of history after all the physicality of the world that could be refined has been refined for a G-dly purpose from the moment that Avraham stood in opposition to Nimrod and the 70 nations in the Year 2000 from Adam. Because it was the Shmittah cycle of Gog ben Gog Bush Jr., it seemed that we had arrived at the point where the physicality of the World that we were meant to perfect, like dung, could no longer be refined. In reality, we were almost at that point but not quite there. In the last two Shmittah cycles since the Financial Collapse of 2008, the end of the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle, apparently there were still a few drops of physicality to refine, for the simanim of reaching that point given over by the Vilna Gaon (to be discussed below) had not yet occurred. As has been discussed in recent posts on this blog, the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle ended on Hoshana Rabbah 5769 seven and a half years before two thirds of Mankind fell below the 49th level of impurity during the lead up to Shavuot of the potential Jubilee year 5776 where the following condition from Zekharia 13 for B'itah Redemption was reached:
וְהָיָה בְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, פִּי-שְׁנַיִם בָּהּ, יִכָּרְתוּ יִגְוָעוּ; וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית, יִוָּתֶר בָּהּ. 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the earth, saith the LORD, two parts (out of three) therein shall be cut off and die; but the (final) third shall be left therein. I would suggest rereading the recent post where this was discussed in detail especially concentrating on the 98 year (2 Jubilee cycle) Collapse into Reprobate oblivion for 2/3rds of Mankind at the end of which took place the mega-terrorist attack at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida when and where precisely 49 homosexuals were murdered by a Afghani Muslim terrorist who became the 50th dead body in the bar at Alot HaShachar on Shavuot morning 5776 when the SWAT team burst through the wall of the night club. It foretold that America had specifically fallen below 49 levels of impurity as a total society and would ultimately disintegrate at -50 being completely done in by its own war against Muslim extremism in Afghanistan. Further on in the same post, I discussed how B'itah could come in one of two ways:
1. B'itah Achishena: 7 years BEFORE the fateful events in Orlando in 5776
or 2. B'itah: 7 years AFTER the fateful events in Orlando
This is based on a pasuk in the Torah in Shlach Lecha that during the Spying of the Land of Israel, the Meraglim arrived in Chevron where the text extraneously tells us that Chevron was built 7 years before Tzo'an was in Mitzraim from which we learn that the World cannot be out of spiritual balance between Good and Evil, Purity and Impurity, more than 7 years in either direction. Of course it would have been preferable that we would have reached "Shaar HaNun", the 50th Gate of Purity in 5769, 7 years before 5776, but in order for that to transpire, we would need to pass a "small test" of collective Jewish human decency in the 4th year of that Shmittah cycle 5765 because according to the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin, the Rabbanim of Israel would kick off the Geulah through a tremendous spiritual awakening in the 5th year of that cycle..... Well it was actually a Big Test, and frankly some of us failed very badly by joining Sharon's Govt for the price of a prostitute. IMMEDIATELY, we seemed to have lost the Golden opportunity that was on our plate for the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle that Ben David would come in 5766 or 5769, and now we are left playing catch up in the 7th year AFTER 5775, the previous Shmittah year. So right now, our backs are against a Wall. The World has been out of balance with more Evil and more impurity in the World than Goodness and Purity for almost 6 years now. (Here we are counting the years from that Shavuot night and early morning in 5776 with the terrorist attack in Orlando.) We have reached the point where righteousness and Goodness must come roaring back. If the world had to exist even one more year until Shavuot 5783 as it is now, G-d would need to destroy the world that He created because it cannot simply exist out of balance on the side of Reprobate impurity for a full 7 years since that Shavuot night in 5776. Through this review we have arrived at the question, "What is the signifying feature that we have reached the End because our world cannot remain in the negative column of spirituality for a full seven years?" Apparently according to the Gemorrah and Rav Tauber, the signifying feature is that the the physical stuff making up our world can no longer be dedicated to a higher purpose. Whether it be through sanctification through Mitzvot or technological advance through human progress on a physical level, the matter that makes up Creation itself is now resisting being used to improve the lot of Mankind! It is as if the only goal of physical matter at this crucial time is the accumulation of more and more piles of physicality! This is what is meant when our Sages in the Talmud said that they would prefer to not live at this time because observing spiritual reality at the very End would be like peering through the Dung of a Jackass. Except that Rav Yosef makes the observation that it is at that precise moment, one year later in the Motzei Shmittah year, that ALL the physical stuff of the Universe (החומר) that was sanctified to G-d throughout all of human history would that following year become the Chamur (החמור), the donkey, on which Mashiach ben David will come riding into the Holy City. You see, during the fateful Shmittah year, the world would reach a point where rank physicality for its own sake would try to take over the world, but it too would be destroyed by the end of that year or more accurately by Hoshana Rabbah of the Motzei Shmittah year so that Mashiach ben David would come riding into Yerushalayim on the pefected Chomer (physicality) or Chamur (Donkey) once the physicality with no potential of being perfected, represented by Donkey Dung, was judged and destroyed. This is the essential characteristic of Redemption B'itah at the last possible moment with no possibility for being delayed. And this is why Rav Yosef unlike the other Rabbanim in this Gemorrah wanted to be alive at this time. Now let us discuss the type of Malkhut that would exist at that time and will be on the verge of taking over the world. Sadly I must report, for my name is Dov Bear, that the Malkhut of rank physicality for its own sake in Daniel chapter 7 is basically represented by a flesh devouring Bear!
Daniel 7 is a fascinating chapter of Tana"kh and is most susceptible for mis-interpretation and misuse by those who believe in Oto Ish as their god. So I will just get to the points as quickly as possible. The first beast is a Lion with Eagle's wings. In ancient times it most represented Babylon. In the modern era Edom has the capacity to be all of the first three beasts, and the Lion with Eagle's wings has historically been represented by Great Britain and the United States. Its crowning characteristic seems to be that those who roar like lions can fly as high as eagles. It is those individuals who have that capacity who are the winners in such cultures. They tend to be very free societies at their root so that the most capable individuals roar like lions and fly like eagles through their own intrinsic talents and hard work. Those rugged individualists become the winners in such societies and achieve their goals the best through contributing greatly to the societies in which they live and usually accumulating large fortunes (the American Dream) as their earthly reward. Lest you think that is all negative, it is not. Part of the proof that the physical stuff of Creation in such societies has been dedicated to a higher purpose is that two of the four faces of the Holy Chayot, the four faced Angels that serve in on the Divine Chariot are a Lion and an Eagle! Look it up in Yechezkel 1 yourself.
ה וּמִתּוֹכָהּ--דְּמוּת, אַרְבַּע חַיּוֹת; וְזֶה, מַרְאֵיהֶן--דְּמוּת אָדָם, לָהֵנָּה. 5 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.
ו וְאַרְבָּעָה פָנִים, לְאֶחָת; וְאַרְבַּע כְּנָפַיִם, לְאַחַת לָהֶם. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
י וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם, פְּנֵי אָדָם, וּפְנֵי אַרְיֵה אֶל-הַיָּמִין לְאַרְבַּעְתָּם, וּפְנֵי-שׁוֹר מֵהַשְּׂמֹאול לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן; וּפְנֵי-נֶשֶׁר, לְאַרְבַּעְתָּן. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man (facing south); and they four had the face of a lion on the right side (facing east); and they four had the face of an ox on the left side (facing west); they four had also the face of an eagle (facing north.
Our Holy Sages have brought down that this is why the Camp of Yehudah east of the Mishkan is under the Face of a Lion and why the Camp of Yosef to the West is under the Face of an Ox or Bull. And throughout the Torah, Yehudah is compared to a lion while Yosef is compared to an Ox! Along with this, the Camp of Reuven to the South has the banner of the likeness of a Man. The Camp of Dan to the North seems to break the mold and seems to be represented by a Snake and not an eagle, but it is accepted that the Face of the Chayot over the Camp of Dan in the North was an Eagle. From this we learn one salient fact. A Malkhut represented by lions and eagles has the ability to take Mankind to great heights, albeit for their own benefit in Olam HaZeh and often at the expense of foreign cultures. Still who can deny the advances brought to the benefit of Mankind by a Culture of rugged individualists has far outweighed their earthly deficits? So at the very end of history when rank physicality is taking over the world, the Culture of Rugged Individualists represented by a Lion with Eagle's wings will crumble in that fateful Shmittah year on the threshold of Mashiach's coming. Perhaps, their leader will in that fateful year be a Dementia ridden Reprobate incapable of leading his nation to the next plateau! But I jest, how could such a man ever be elected in the first place?
At this point we will skip the Bear who devours more and more physicality as he is described in Daniel 7, for we have already discussed him above. We will simply point out that the ancient Bear of partying and feasting often for 180 days at a time was ancient Persia, and the modern Bear amongst Edom is obviously Russia. It is precisely this beast that has an advantage over the other beasts to go forth and conquer the World as the other beasts crumble and fail at the end of Olam HaZeh in this fateful Shmittah year.
The 3rd beast in Daniel chapter 7 wants to do more than conquer the world for its own appetites. It wants to rule the world with Reason and Logic and set up world Govt for the entire globe of the earth, or what used to be called, "the four corners of the earth". It is for this reason that this beast (a swift leopard) has four heads, for it wants to extend its rule over the entire planet bringing Mankind under one King...... who thinks he or she can rule the world by making up one's own reasonable laws without taking into account the infinite value of every human being. In such a world, morality is defined by what is best for the smooth running of World Govt, not the rules of human decency defined by an Infinite Creator. So such a world govt is bound to conflict with His Rules for the benefit of perpetuating World Govt. Now one might think that such a world govt at war with G-d cannot elevate Man to higher levels, but the Torah begs to differ with you on this. When G-d was REALLY angry with Mankind during the Great Flood, the Torah persistently and consistently used the Divine Name Elokim as G-d meted out Justice against a recalcitrant Mankind. Only when it came to saving Noach and the world's animals on the Ark is the Name of HaShem used. As it says with regards to destroying the World:
יב וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָרֶץ, וְהִנֵּה נִשְׁחָתָה: כִּי-הִשְׁחִית כָּל-בָּשָׂר אֶת-דַּרְכּוֹ, עַל-הָאָרֶץ. {ס} 12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. {S}
יג וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים לְנֹחַ, קֵץ כָּל-בָּשָׂר בָּא לְפָנַי--כִּי-מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ חָמָס, מִפְּנֵיהֶם; וְהִנְנִי מַשְׁחִיתָם, אֶת-הָאָרֶץ. 13 And God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Notice the Name Elokim is regularly used when discussing Judgement upon Mankind in the year 1656 AM. Yet, a few chapters later or about 340 years later in the year 1996 AM, Nimrod wants to build a Tower to Heaven to war with G-d. One might think that G-d would be equally angry and upset. But lo and behold what do we see?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָבָה נִבְנֶה-לָּנוּ עִיר, וּמִגְדָּל וְרֹאשׁוֹ בַשָּׁמַיִם, וְנַעֲשֶׂה-לָּנוּ, שֵׁם: פֶּן-נָפוּץ, עַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָאָרֶץ. 4 And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
ה וַיֵּרֶד יְהוָה, לִרְאֹת אֶת-הָעִיר וְאֶת-הַמִּגְדָּל, אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ, בְּנֵי הָאָדָם. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
ו וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה, הֵן עַם אֶחָד וְשָׂפָה אַחַת לְכֻלָּם, וְזֶה, הַחִלָּם לַעֲשׂוֹת; וְעַתָּה לֹא-יִבָּצֵר מֵהֶם, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יָזְמוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת. 6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
ז הָבָה, נֵרְדָה, וְנָבְלָה שָׁם, שְׂפָתָם--אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ, אִישׁ שְׂפַת רֵעֵהוּ. 7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
ח וַיָּפֶץ יְהוָה אֹתָם מִשָּׁם, עַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָאָרֶץ; וַיַּחְדְּלוּ, לִבְנֹת הָעִיר. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
ט עַל-כֵּן קָרָא שְׁמָהּ, בָּבֶל, כִּי-שָׁם בָּלַל יְהוָה, שְׂפַת כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; וּמִשָּׁם הֱפִיצָם יְהוָה, עַל-פְּנֵי כָּל-הָאָרֶץ. {פ} 9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. {P}
Above is the entire story of the building of the Tower of Bavel and HaShem's response. Five times, the Name HaShem is mentioned in this affair, and not even once is the Name Elokim mentioned in judging Nimrod's act of building world govt and going to war against G-d. One might think that HaShem would be almost equally upset as He was 340 years earlier when He brought the Flood, but that is simply not the case! So our first question should be Why? The answer seems to be that before the Flood it was every Man and Woman for themselves. Lawlessness filled the earth. With world Govt there was at least the attempt to bring unity and brotherhood to Mankind, albeit with rules that benefited the Govt and not with G-d's Universal moral code which elevated the sanctity of every human being. Still it was an attempt in a better direction of Unity and lack of selfishness. In that way, even world govt in rebellion against G-d is leaps and bounds better than the Law of the Jungle. So HaShem rather than responding with Divine Wrath against the attempt of the Generation of Nimrod to unify Mankind, He lovingly came down and said No, you can't do that! So once again, we have the dichotomy. In ancient times, the Four Headed leopard was the Malkhut of Alexander the Great who upon his death had his Empire divided amongst his four generals. In the modern era, the equivalent kingdom is the first attempt at a modern world govt through a united Europe, the EU, whose parliament building in Strasbourg is modeled after a Renaissance painting of the Unfinished Tower of Bavel! And once again, in this Shmittah year, HaShem has descended from Heaven to politely tell them NO!
So in this pre-Messianic Shmittah year as both the United States/ Great Britain and the EU both wither and die, who is it that smells an opportunity to fill a huge vacuum? 'Tis the Bear who arises to absorb and devour more and more unsatisfying physicality. It is Dubiel or Bear Power (Russia and Persia) who goes forth on World Conquest. At this stage, I am going to post my most recent Comments on my previous post. They are in shorthand form, but they fully explain the entire thesis of the Vilna Gaon, as I have come to understand it, on this fateful B'itah year.
The Oral Tradition of the Vilna Gaon for 100% b'itah redemption, was for the most part given over to his closest students in the last decade of his life from about 1790 to 1797 before he passed away 225 yrs ago. His insights of course are based on the entire breadth of all of Tana"kh, but from what I was able to piece together from Rav Moshe Sternbuch of the Eidah Chareidit when he gave over some salient information in 2014 after Putin wrested the Crimea from the Ukraine, the Gaon seemed to stress 3 or 4 specific portions of the Tana"kh in his overview of the matter of the keitz, the final impermeable end of Olam HaZeh from which the proverbial can can no longer be kicked down the road to a later date.
1. Daniel 2: specifically the part about the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream where the 2 legs of iron mired with clay stand in the 2 ancient capitals of the of the Roman Empire, Rome and Constantinople. The iron is Edom, Rome, and Xtianity while the clay is Yishmael, his son Nebaiyot the founder of the Nabatean nation, Muhammad who was a Nabatean, and all of Islam. Since Yishmael was Pere Adam or wild jackass of a man, think Pere Adamah (a wild thing of earthenware or clay). So the clay in the vision of Nebuchadnezzar is Yishmael or Islam. In the "eastern" Rome, when the Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople, they changed the name to Istanbul. So the Roman capital where the iron is mired with clay is right there in Istanbul/Constantinople. At this point Sefer Daniel 2 and Yechezkel 38 and 39 point to a meteorite of unhewn Even Elgavish (stone crystallized on high) will destroy something about that city which will cause all of Olam HaZeh to turn to dust. But this would only happen when another Orthodox Xtian leader from Edom would conquer the city. Since the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of the Byzantine Empire is already in the city when it split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 11th Century, the only other Orthodox Church which considered itself based in the "3rd Rome" was the Russian Orthodox Church headquartered in Moscow.
2. The next part of the mix was Daniel 7 where of the 4 beasts discussed there, only one of those beasts survives to the very end, The Bear. The Vilna Gaon called this beast Dubiel. The other beasts disintegrate at the end because the physical world becomes spiritually bankrupt. It reaches a point where the Chomer of Creation becomes like the dung of a jackass that can no longer be elevated to a higher purpose. The Rugged individualists like Trump and Boris Johnson become powerless as the Lion with Eagle's wings fades into the background. Same with the NWO folks in the EU (the flying four headed leopard) as the drive for world govt simply runs out of steam. The 11th horn on the 4th beast (Barack Obama) is out of office. So at the very end it is Dubiel, the ancient and modern Bear (Persia and Russia) in an alliance with each other to fill in the vacuum created by the other 3 beasts fading into the background because Dubiel, rank physicality, is all that there is left.
3. Then there is Bilaam's last prophesy from BaMidbar. Continued....
כד וְצִים מִיַּד כִּתִּים, וְעִנּוּ אַשּׁוּר וְעִנּוּ-עֵבֶר; וְגַם-הוּא, עֲדֵי אֹבֵד. 24 But Great ships (a Navy) shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
Both the Targum Yonatan Ben Uziel and the Vilna Gaon identify the coast of Kittim with Southwest Coast of Turkey and the Bosporus. The amazing thing about the Targum is that he identified the city as Constantine 3 1/2 Centuries before Constantine lived, established Roman Catholicism as the official religion of the Roman Empire, and moved the Roman Capital to a city straddling the Bosporus at the Black Sea named after himself which is connected to the Dardenelles and the Mediterranean by an inland sea called Marmara. How the Targum Yonatan knew the name is beyond amazing. Was it an Oral Torah from Sinai? Did he know it from Qabbalah? At this stage 2000 yrs later we just know that it is in his 1st Century Torah commentary when that very city was yet to be founded over 300 yrs later.
One last thing: Why send the Russian Navy to afflict Ever? And we could add why afflict Ashur, Nineveh Province in Iraq?
I do not want to give the Satan any ideas, but the Germans will now be knocking on Israel's door for natural gas from the Leviathan and Tamar gas fields offshore in the Mediterranean, now that they are turning down gas from Russia's NordStream 2 pipeline. They frankly have no other option. Unlike the French, the Germans do not have nuclear power plants. Once Israel starts supplying the Germans with natural gas, Putin will lose part of his leverage. You can guess what Putin might do next.....
REJOICE! REJOICE! OH ISRAEL! OUR REDEMPTION IS NIGH!

We will get back to talking about EverGrande once again as we see more evidence of China's total economic Collapse because of EverGrande's Collapse. So far the Chinese real estate market in the last 6 months has collapsed by 45%! But because of their need to put on a good face for the Winter Olympics, the Chinese have been able to pretend that they are doing just fine with tremendous help from their willing accomplices in the American media.
Wow, Yasher Koach Reb Dov, one of your best posts ever! May we see Mashiach very soon and the geulah shaleimah!
Amen. May it be b'rachamim.
Thank you for sharing these insights. You are giving me hope.
As usual, a riveting, fact-filled epic. I wonder though if Putin moved ahead of time. Also NATO is nuclear. And why grab Chenobyl? So many strange developments in this unfolding story.
Leah, Ukraine was the MAIN money laundering source. What Putin is doing is mainly destroying this connection to “JB and his fam and friends”. It is a targeted war. After the dust settles, we will learns the Emes. All the propaganda surrounding this “planned clean up” will eventually come out.
Putin is NOT after civilians, he’s bombing the JB illegal connection! And it’s mainly in this two new eastern parts and in Crimea.
2/25/2022 8:32 AM
Wow. “ FLASHBACK: Biden Gives Putin List of Critical Targets ‘Not to Attack’ “
He gave Putin his targets! What a well crafted plan this was.
Stop shilling for Putin, Neshama. He's a murderer and a dictator who can't stand Ukraine's independence. Russia is like an abusive bully harassing his ex-girlfriend, although most Russians don't support this invasion, but they can't say anything without going to jail or receiving a fine or criminal record, unlike in America. I don't understand what you gain by defending that bastard. The entire world saw this unprovoked agression. You are literally siding with the worst of the worst, together with people like Assad. Trust me, Putin couldn't care less about Biden or American domestic issues. My only criticism of the democratically-elected Ukrainian government is that Medvedchuk and all those corrupt Kremlin oligarchs and agents should have been executed as soon as the invasion started. They should have been poisoned like Putin does with his enemies. Apparently Russia rejected an offer by Zelensky to declare Ukraine a "non-aligned country" to comply with Russian paranoia, which proves that this whole discussion about 'NATO expansion' was just an excuse. I hope this is the fall of Dubiel. Also with Putin out of the picture, Iran will become weaker. I really hope for regime change in Moscow, B''H.
To Fabio,
Lets wait until "the dust settles".......
We are blind, what we thought was right is actually wrong.... and the other way around... everything is "afuh"
You cannot protest or express your opinion freely in Canada as well, as the whole world saw last week.
The masks are down...
So, lets wait until "the dust settles".......
Shabat Shalom
May Ha Shem have mercy on us and may we see the coming of Moshiach very soon.
Victoria
Ukraine is considered the money laundering capital for the DS and bio-weapon producer! This is what wild man Putin is destroying.
What happens if this was planned long ago?
What if you wanted to drain the swamp and destroy the [DS] system WW?
Why would Putin pick this moment?
Why did NATO decide not to respond?
Why is Biden not using Military forces ?
Didn’t Russia build an alternative SWIFT system during Obama’s term?
What if you wanted to bring down the [CB] system?
Who is really in control ??
I sense Fabio's zeal on the matter, and it may indeed be righteous indignation, however I read on another blog about how we are to apply the "mirror" and it scares me (to tears, actually) to witness those that are holy people to gnash teeth on another. I come here to learn to do better, Thank you Fabio
Fabio said: "Russia is like an abusive bully harassing his ex-girlfriend, although most Russians don't support this invasion, but they can't say anything without going to jail or receiving a fine or criminal record,"
well, i don't know Fabio, but I think one should mark their words and reason within themselves whether they are doing the same thing they say others are doing. Neshama has an opinion. Should it be censored or shamed for speaking ones mind (its like putting her in "internet" jail, fine or criminal record, jus sayin')
anyway, I agree with Victoria about settling dust. And I also remember the words that say something like 'Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate', so yes Hashem got this. Everything backwards or upside down, media untrustworthy. We wait for dust to settle.
Let the dubiel 'in us' fall, so we dont devour one another like hungry bear. Help one another prepare for Moshiach. forgive me if I offend please.
Twyla
Shavua tov. Russia
just took out an oil field in Ukraine(If I'm not mistaken.) Why set that on fire? Unless it is a casualty by mistake(doubt it.) We are for sure coming to a time when it appears we are in hyper speed...Like when you are flying in an airplane and the pilot announces you are getting closer to the airport and all of a sudden you feel the pilot speed up the plane as you get closer..... That's what it seems like.....
So, Dov, Hoshanah Rabbah of the moetze Shmittah year...isn't that when the threshings are + beat on the floor? Interesting that this is a physical thing that the men do...they use physical aspect ...to evoke spiritual response....Also, this is a shemittah year? So, are you talking this upcoming Hoshana Rabbah?
Learned that there has been a steady buildup of (US) military being sent to Asia(?) over a month already, maybe longer.
As your timeline may indicate.
Now that FINALLY they have arranged ($) for the Jews of Ukraine to be brought to EY, we now have to gather the remaining in Poland, France, Italy, and any others, as these NATO (nazi) countries are entering the frey, they too will be in danger. Hashem’s plan is working.
No. 6 in your list could be the finale of US and Russia going at it with little ISRAEL in between, and maybe ISRAEL left to take out China in the end: OF COURSE WITH FIREWORKS SUPPLIED BY G—D.
'So at the very end it is Dubiel'
And then what?
What happens next in sefer Daniel?
What unfolds in the text and why (-what purpose)?
[Very glad someone is talking Sefer Daniel. Guessing there can also be conjecture regarding how the allegories plug in to modern times..]
I will say this with regards to the very end of Sefer Daniel. By the end of this Jewish year 5782 and the beginning of 5783 (all in 2022ce), it will be precisely 1335 years since 687 ce when the cornerstone to the Dome of the Rock was laid. It is the Abomination that designates the Desolation of that spot which was either the ancient location of the outer altar of both Temples OR the location of the Foundation stone of the earth around which the Earth was formed (the location of the Holy of Holies). The fact that the text there refers to Yamim (days) and not Yom indicates that Daniel is referring to 1335 Years at the End of Days and NOT to a literal 1335 days. In every other place in Hebrew Scripture when more than 12 days or Sh'kalim or years is being referred to, the text uses the singular form (Yom, Shanah, or Shekel). Here it refers to 1335 Yamim to specifically refer to the number of YEARS to the End of DAYS to Yemot HaMashiach.
I have to say this about Volodymyr Zelenskyy, when he responded to America's offer to whisk him out of Kiev, he truly became Churchillian with 6 words if translated into English, "I need Ammunition, not a Ride (out of the country)." What an epic response! That alone probably extended this conquest by one week.
Dov, why give the Western Fake News any credence. At best, all news sources are equivalent.
According to this Chinese state organ, Volodymyr Zelensky has fled Kiev.
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202202/1253257.shtml
Why should I believe Western shills, who have been pushing for war in Ukraine for years, over Chinese shills?
Further, according the Deva"sh: "He married out, converted to Christianity and had his children christened in the church." He is not Churchillian in any way.
This blog post shows that pictures pushed in the West of a brave President on the front lines with his loyal troops are simply repurposed pictures from a year ago:
https://voxday.net/2022/02/27/false-narrative-fake-hero/
There is also a report on the ground of what is actually happening:
The following is a status report of what appears to be happening at this time (2022. 02. 27 at 12:00 noon Kiev time) in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I am trying to be as realistic as possible. I mean no disrespect or animus to either the Ukrainian side or the Russian side. I am not in any sense questioning the bravery of the soldiers of any nation, nor do I mean to give any offense. I live permanently in Ukraine, I love the Ukrainian people, and my children are Ukrainian citizens. In what I am about to say, I am trying to give a realistic, sober assessment of the current state of play.
The Russians have entered the center of Kharkiv, I know this from eyewitness accounts of people that I know there. There is small arms fighting, but generally light resistance. In the south, Kherson has fallen and the Russian army seems to have captured Zaporozhia. It seems clear that Dnipro will be reached within 3 to 5 days. At this time, Kiev is being surrounded by Russian tanks. There is sporadic small arms fire outside the city, but no big battles.
The Russian strategy seems to be to encircle the cities, while destroying military installations. The vast majority of civilian infrastructure in the areas under attack have been untouched and are functioning normally. It also seems very clear that the Russians have used their older equipment and less experienced soldiers in this initial assault. Very few of the high-tech modern weaponry that the Russians possess are being used in this first push. This would lead one to believe that the Russians want to probe and exhaust Ukrainian defenses before bringing out top-tier men and materiel.
The Russians are being incredibly disciplined insofar as their information management is concerned. The only information coming out of the Russians comes directly from the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their information so far has been 100% accurate, which I think is a deliberate strategy. There has been a great deal of Ukrainian propaganda that turned out to be complete fantasy, but even after these stories have been proven to be false, people cling to them.
At the current pace of operations, the Russians will completely capture Ukraine within 7 to 14 days. They are winning, and winning decisively. Maps comparing the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 to this current mechanized invasion show that the Russians are outpacing the Americans by a substantial margin. And as I said, they are using their second-tier men and weapons, and they did not use air power to soften Ukraine for several weeks, as the Americans did in 2003. Any claims that the Ukrainians are winning or holding back the Russians is complete fantasy.
For those who want a REMINDER about the total internal domestic economic collapse of China because of EverGrande's Collapse, here it is.
For American Jews vested in the Fed Reserve Feudal Asset Scheme since 2008 called a "Stock Market", your prosperity is in the hands of Reprobate Central Bankers and a 2/3rds of American adult population under the Age of 35 that is ALSO REPROBATE who are heavily vested in the same markets. In short, your retirement portfolios are in the Collective heads of human slime and human scum. There will be a reckoning when G-d rips open the Succulent pig that many years ago was an actual Market. Tread in Stocks at your own risk. RECOGNIZE that its merit for Buoyancy is running out. You think that the 50% collapse of the world's 2nd largest economy will not affect you?
Yes, I realize that Zelenskyy is a mushmad. I am trying to see zekhut in him that he was "captured by idolaters." Suffering in the Ukraine as a Jew was the worst in the World.
Rav Berland said 9 months started on Rosh Hodesh Tevet. If this is True then on Rosh Hodesh Adar Bet we willl complete first trimester. The second trimester will be harder and the hardest will be the last trimester starting on. Rosh Hofesh Tammuz till Rosh HaShana . I pray that Geula Shelema should be in this Nissan or even on this coming Purim. Hashem is Great , nothing is impossible for Him!
No, no, Zelensky is working with the good guys …… in order to clean up HIS OWN COUNTRY from the Neo Nazis [WEF Third Reich Shwaab] who were the corrupt invaders. They set up factories to make those bioweapons that the Third Reich has used and plans to use in his great reset. Almost ALL of the political leaders were students in his indoctrination schooling before being put in to their re spective political positions (i.e. Castro-Trudeau, Macron, et al; and he brags that he controls. What evil chutzpa! HE HAS NOT FLED UKRAINE.
Remember, that Zelensky was an actor before he was voted into office (and not put there by the DS) and he ALSO wants the nazis to be removed; this is why he has given weapons to his citizens and says they should be armed for protection. This will all come out after the entire event has succeeded. He is playing to the MSM.
I know, I know, this is against all the propaganda MSM reporting and fake videos being plastered all over the news. But remember, the TRUTH takes time to become known. If you get all your info from the news sites plastered all over the internet, you are being brainwashed. The so-called report at 4:53 PM is not the emes; thats all I’ll say now.
Now, that is not to say that Hashem might REDIRECT efforts as HE wants. But I believe that the 400,000 precious Jewish neshomas are very important to HIM. And they are in rescue mode now.
Zelensky converted to Xianity and had his children are baptized...he is a meshummad...I am so sorry but he is no hero. Also the Ukrainians were some of the worst anti- Semites on a continent that is soaked with Jewish blood..think Boghdan Chiemlinicki massacres in 1648 in Ukraine an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 innocent Jews were slaughtered in some of the most gruesome ways imaginable....300 Jewish communities obliterated...there is a long list of Ukrainian atrocities against the Jewish people...many of the sadistic Nazi guards at the concentration camps were Ukrainian bc they hated Jews so much. They were willing and gleeful Nazi accomplices. Do we really care what happens to Ukraine?
Lets get the Yidden out and let Hashem avenge all that Jewish death. None of what happens there matters to us. They are all wicked and we are above the Goyishe destiny...let Gog u Magog fall on their heads ...they deserve it!
Hashem is doing all of this for us Am Yisroel. We are finally at the end and a new beginning... all I feel is relief.

Ukranian Jews are obviously a priority, but this is supposed to be a wake-up call for Jews everywhere to come home. Unfortunately, for many Jews the only way to get them to come is when their physical circumstances become untenable. I"m not saying it's easy, but the longer you leave it the harder it becomes. Sarah is right, Hashem has His cheshbonot with both the Russians and the Ukranians. Many Israeli rabbonim have been callling for Jews to come urgently for a while now. Rav Nachman Kahana has written about his concern that, chalila, there will be a national draft in the US and all young people sans exception will be taken.
I just came across this:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/02/24/u-s-reinstate-draft-russia-ukraine-invasion/6928740001/
Is the idea being floated, in preparation?
And note
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2022/02/25/russia-invasion-ukraine-bans-male-citizens-leaving/6936471001/
The Ukraine bans male citizens from 18-60 from leaving the country under martial law.
Regardless of how things play out, the world is highly unstable, and when things change they do so rapidly, and often by then it is too late.
Came across this
"Almost all men ages 18-25 who are U.S. citizens or are immigrants living in the U.S. are required to register with Selective Service. Citizens must register within 30 days of turning 18."
This is the default position even in peace-time, and it includes dual-nationals, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, people with disabilities not confined to an institution, etc, and even the "transwomen", in short they want to be able to get their hands on absolutely anyone with even a smidgen of a y chromosome going on.
The issue du jour and major concern of Jews everywhere has to be organising a mass aliya for any Jew wishing to come, including of course assistance to the vulnerable. As for the finer details of their wars, it is really not our concern.
Thank you for what you added about the end of Daniel re: the Temple grounds.
What I meant about this >'So at the very end it is Dubiel'
-- is, you discussed Russia and current events and Dubiel.
What follows next in Daniel after the Bear section of the chad gadya so to speak?
What happens next in the sefer, and what process is it describing in Daniel?
It would be good to check the original text to see what's in the script for this segment of the story. (you can also connect the dots till the end of the sefer if you're up to it)
Again, great to hear this being addressed
I agree. Ukraine was hell on earth for the last 500 yrs. One would wish that they should have suffered within 3 or 4 generations of the pain, agony, and destruction that Ukrainian patriots inflicted on the Jews in their midst. Only now, here at the end of history, do we see Heavenly justice balance the scales in that land soaked with so much of Israel's exilic blood.
On the issue of Zelenskyy himself, yes, he is a meshumad. I would like to know why he converted out of his peoplehood, why he chose that route of a "traitor" to who he was. Yet, until I see evidence to the contrary, can we say the same about his status as a human being?
There are two types of Meshumadim for whom we are to be in contempt even for one who is ignorant about Judaism:
1. A meshumad who breaks Noachide laws. This would include someone who actually worships idolatrous figurines on Crosses. But the L-rd's wrath is especially strong against Murderers, Thieves, and those who push abominable sexual mores on the rest of the world.
2. A meshumad who is a Malshin, a slanderer against his own people. In Medieval times we have the likes of Nicholas Donin who prosecuted against the Talmud in 1240 and caused 24 cartloads of Talmuds to be burnt in the streets of Paris Erev Parshat Chukat in 1242ce (around the 9th of Tamuz). Throughout the Middle Ages, the Malshin was the Jewish convert to a Xtian Church who then verbally attacked his fellow brethren with a vengeance causing them suffering and pain. In the Modern Era after the Shoah, the Malshin became the self-hating Jews like Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, who never missed an opportunity to publicly rebuke Jews in Israel for doing what they needed to do to reduce Jewish bloodshed at the hands of our enemies here. This was often done to self-aggrandize themselves with non-Jews who had contempt for us and whose reasons for hating us were not rooted in righteousness, but rooted in their hatred for the The Ways of Our G-d because their view of righteousness is most certainly not His view.
The problem with despising Zelenskyy, and others like him, is he is neither a Reprobate nor a Malshin. His reasons for abandoning Judaism are his own, and all we can do is daven that one day he will find his way back to his people and to Sinai. Until then, he is no Jewish hero, but he might be a decent human being.... until I see evidence of the contrary, he is a tinok sheNishba.
Joe Blogs ties together the Russian invasion against Ukraine and the Complete Domestic Collapse of Turkey! Well who would have thought!
האם העולם לפני מלחמת העולם השלישית? מה עושים ואיך ניצלים? הרב יעקב זיסהולץ בשידור חירום גורלי
Are we on the verge of WW3? What should you do and how will you be saved? Rav Yaakov Zisoholtz in an emergency, critical broadcast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdjC-TidAUI
Rav Zisoholtz is a pure tsadik full of ahavat yisrael. He's in touch with Gedolei Yisrael. Please spread his video. He is begging for Jews to come to Israel.
Jews everywhere should be preparing and acting. If you can get on plane do so, send your children, transfer money if you can, and if your circumstances are complicated, take some action, passport, some cash, have a bag ready and beg Hashem to help you all the while.
Rav Berland also said that there will be no hard to get food in EY, but one should consider to pile up medicine he or she takes. Unfortunately, I am on drug attic medicine from curing the pain for years and today when I went to pharmacy I got noticed that almost all pharmacies out of this kind of medicine I take. I felt today that we are defenetly in Hevley Mashiah!
One more thing. If there was a time to take revenge against Ukraine for all the Jewish blood they spilled, it was 1648-51, 1768, 1919 or 1941. But under no circumstance the right time is 2022! Today it's a totally different country and a different generation. The overwhelming majority of them don't hate Jews and many even respect us, Ukraine has very good relations with Israel, they want Western democracy and they elected a Jewish president (married to a non-Jew or whatever is besides the point, in the eyes of the nations he is a Jew, they call him "our yid"). The time for revenge expired long time ago. I don't care anymore. The same goes for Germany. And if you tell me they are getting punches for being reincarnations of Ukrainians who tormented Jews in the past, then they shouldn't be in this world to begin with, which is not so bad compared to the suffering in the afterlife. They should be paying for their crimes in hell or in kaf hakela. I'm not interested in seeing Ukrainians suffer nowadays. It doesnt help even a little bit. I want to see the downfall of the enemies that are fighting us RIGHT NOW (ayatollahs, Hezbollah, Amnesty, BDS, etc). Don't think I'm not aware of what some Ukrainians did in the past. My grandmother was from Rovno. Sorry, but revenge is useless three generations later.
Here is an article in the Wall St Journal discussing Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Jewish heritage. He is married to a non-Jew and has baptized his children in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. I am NOT sure if he personally ever formally became a Xtian. Based on that alone, I will retract even having called him a meshumad. His situation is intensely sad on this front. Like so many Jews in the West, he has simply lost contact with who he is out of total ignorance because of the intense suffering of Jews in Xtian Europe, ESPECIALLY in the Ukraine. I doubt Aish HaTorah has had frequent Discovery weekends in Kiev, but Maybe recently they have. At this point we are still trying to gather the sparks of holiness that still remain immersed in Eastern Europe's bloodsoaked ground. Until now, men like Zelenskyy have been left behind.
On the issue of G-d visiting iniquities to the 4th generation, it is the Way He operates. It is a concept in the Torah, even if we mere mortals are ready to forgive or forget, lest the descendants fully repent of the sins of their ancestors.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/understanding-ukraines-jewish-president-11561070080
Is anyone without blemish? We cannot judge a man without looking in the mirror. These times are not normal times.
Do you believe these Rabbis are giving up on the pintele yid in Zelensky?
"In his message to Zelensky, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Sites of Israel, reminded Zelensky of his recent visit to the Western Wall. “Your honor, the President of Ukraine, we are here at the Western Wall, the place where all prayers ascend to the Gates of Heaven. You have been here, you have prayed here, and now we are praying for your recovery and your health… We invite you to come to the Western Wall to thank the Holy One for his miracles and for your health, that with God’s help, will soon be strong and unfailing.”
Zelensky’s visit to the Western Wall earlier this year caused a great deal of controversy when he chose to visit the holy site instead of attending a memorial service at Yad Vashem with other world leaders. Zelensky explained at the time that he chose not to attend the ceremony so that more Holocaust survivors could participate.
I bless the president and pray that he will get out of his sickbed and return to lead his country,” said Rabbi Yosef. “Judaism teaches ‘beloved is man who is created in His image.’ Every person is beloved and should be respected – no matter who he is – because he is a person who needs to be cared for. The president who sanctifies God’s name in practice, in grace and mercy in Ukraine, therefore deserves to rise from his sickbed. May his days and years continue in good health.”
Turkey is closing the Bosporus Straits to Russian shipping? Is this for real?
My G-d, things are moving fast!
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-implement-international-pact-access-shipping-straits-due-ukraine-war-2022-02-27/
Regarding Zelensky - doesn't having been born in communist USSR qualify him as a Tinok SheNishba?
But regarding "Unknown"'s view on the Ukrainians - it's not a matter of revenge, nor of incarnations. And it's not enough that they respect us and don't hate us. If they're able to go about their business with such a horrible blemish on their national conscience, one can't be surprised if Midat Hadin hits them (though indeed we shouldn't rejoice, but rather pray for their well-being).
It's not for nothing that it was said that in WW2 they were worse than the Germans. Even by the Germans nowadays there are individuals that devote a large part of their life to expressing remorse for their fathers' deeds (but as a nation they still have a long way to go, and there too we won't be surprised if they get inflicted). But Ukrainians? Remorse even by individuals?
Yes, within four generations of those who commit ghastly acts, the descendants are OBLIGATED to repent fully of the sins of their grandparents and great-grandparents. This applies to Jews and non-Jews. Part of fully repenting of murderous behavior requires asking forgiveness from the descendants, and a portion of the necessary repentance is impossible because it requires asking forgiveness from the dead who were murdered. For that aspect of the sins of Ukrainians even from the first half of the 20th Century, they are suffering now, or they suffered in the 1930s when 20 million Ukrainian peasants were murdered through starvation by Stalin. But once again that suffering in the 1930s does not cover the acts of Ukrainians to murder Jews which took place during the Shoah. This is probably why it is easier to repent for things like mass stealing simply by returning the money stolen multiplied x 2 even to the third and fourth generation. Doing teshuvah for murder requires that the blood of the murderer also be spilled. If it is not, judgement then takes place from the Hands of Heaven within four generations.
"Turkey is closing the Bosporus Straits to Russian shipping? Is this for real?"
The Vilna Gaon's prophecy! Did he say in 'the year' (or week? day? period?) that happens Mashiach will come? Is there any precision?
Regarding Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Poles, Hungarians, Germans, Austrians, Romanians and all those who have historically perpetrated atrocities against Jews, my attitude is simple: every person around world, from every race, religion, ethnicity, ideology or nationality who is against Israel and/or the Jewish people for whatever reason, that person is my mortal enemy and I hate him or her (including so-called 'Jews'). Maybe I don't hate that much the Fakestinians, since after all we are two nations fighting for the same piece of real state, but I have no problem killing them if it's necessary to guarantee our possession to the land and security of our people, but at least they have a reason to go against us (yeah, they are not a real nation, but whatever, they see themselves as one). All the rest of clowns who go against us (leftists, stormfags, black nationalists, white nationalists, mohammedans who live far away from Israel) can go to hell. They have no valid reason to mess with our people, other than their stupid obsession, ignorance, boredom, cruelty or simply jealousy. Of course, the fact that someone is my enemy doesn't necessarily mean that person is dangerous, since most antisemites don't have much power anyway or even act based on their hatred (other than maybe writting meaningless insults in 4chan). Regarding descendants of antisemites, as the saying goes, 'the son shall not pay for the sins of the father' and visceversa, just like the Torah says. Of course, if the child justifies his or her parents' criminal actions, they are fully guilty like them, just like Himmler's daughter (or grandaughter? I don't remember). But von Braun's son, for example, rejected and expressed some remorse for his father's dark past. Was it enough? Only Hashem knows. He sees the heart. But I prefer to focus on the real enemies of the present rather than the ghosts of the past. I'm a pragmatic Jew and Zionist, first and foremost I care what's good for Israel and what threatens my country in the here and now. The only one who can make justice properly is Hashem Yitbarach. On a different note, I think the Russians losing the war in Ukraine will benefit us indirectly, since Iran without Russia's (partial) backing will become much weaker, the same for other rogue regimes that depend on Russia like Venezuela. Also I don't like a lunatic who behaves like the neighborhood's bully and invades a sovereign country that never intended to attack anyone. Ukrainians are fighting for their basic right to exist, just like us here in Israel. Ukrainians don't want to be Russian, they have made that point very clear. Everything is up to Hashem, but in this case it's very clear who's the villain.
This war is, or should be a wake-up call to Jews everywhere to come home urgently. Or should I say just another wake-up call in a series, Pittsburgnacht on the Hebrew anniversary of Kristallnacht, ditto the attack by the only Viennese shul to survive WW2. This is much more important than determining Zelensky's choices etc. The sad, tragic, truth is that most diaspora Jews will not come home whilst their conditions are bearable and thus have to be forced to leave. The exile is over, the only question is in what conditions the Jews will come home.

Reb Dov,
Are there any other grievous sins, i e like stealing, that descendants should also atone for?
The Swiss stole billions upon billions of dollars of Jewish wealth that was in their banks during WW2. When the depositors disappeared, so did their bank accounts in Swiss banks. I always found it curious that Switzerland's 2nd largest city is Geneivah (Geneva). It seems to describe their Yetzer HaRa.
When Gog Bush Sr. condemned Israel at the end of his Presidency for throwing 400 Hamas thugs into Southern Lebanon in late 1992, an obligation was placed on his sons to feel ashamed of their father's behavior. During his run for the Presidency in 2000, I waited for Gog Jr to apologize for the actions of his father which frequently isolated us in the eyes of Mankind. He never did. So I never voted for him, figuring that in the same position, he would behave like his father. Even though Gog Jr was very friendly toward American Jews (much more friendly than his father), my suspicions of Gog Jr's foreign policy toward Israel were proven correct. It IS important to apologize for the Evil of your immediate ancestors from whom you may have inherited your values or wealth to prevent yourself from falling into their patterns of sins. By doing so, you can also not suffer from the consequences of their behavior. We cannot know every nuisance. But we can separate ourselves from the public things that they did wrong and specifically egregious things that they did against individuals.
I am concerned that some news is linking Russian oligarchs who some are Jews or "half-Jews" (father's side) with Putin.
this could trigger anti-Semitic friction in the region.
on the other hand... it makes me feel good to know that Russia is a conservative nation and usually its critics are leftists, besides that today the Jewish community is protected in Russia like never before.
Anonymous of Brazil
G-d willing, the protection of Jews in ALL the nations of our exile continues. If the Federal Reserve in the US actually raises interest rates to 1.5% from its target rate of 0% (for the last 13 1/2 years), the So called Stock Market will collapse. Zero percent interest rate policy for over 13 years is a dangerous joke, and it must be raised to prevent worsening inflation. The post 2008 Financial Crisis jig is up. The world is on a knife's edge.
Anonymous, don't think Putin is an enemy of all leftists. Maybe that applies only to liberal Democrats in the US. Most leftists in South America support Putin and his war of aggression, since they see him as the only serious threat to NATO, America and the West. It's ironic than many people on the American right repeat the same nonsense than all the disgusting commies in countries like Argentina.

Zelensky's pintele yid: https://shiratdevorah.blogspot.com/2022/03/zelensky-tweets-holocaust-20.html
What's wrong with everyone? Can't everyone see that all this a political game; this is the war of globalists vs. sovereign nations. Do not believe the Russian president is crazy. There are many reasons this is all happening. Believe the main reason for this attack is to make sure that the globalists (NATO) will not be at Russia's borders. There are those in Ukraine who are willing to join and logically, putin cannot allow this. Remember the Cuban crisis in the time of pres. kennedy? In the meantime, this is also a wakeup call for the great number of Jews living there and their exits could lead them to make aliya to EY.
The top reason for everything happening is because it all comes from Hashem Who is hastening our Geulah and the hearts and minds of leaders are in the 'Hands' of Hashem!
We need to pray for all Jews who are in danger and for the righteous of the world and also that Redemption comes with 'Great Kindness and Mercy from Heaven!
Yoseph
Yes, there is a lot more going on. I received the following from Jeremy Gimpel, Land of Israel Fellowship.
Land mass or Area of the Ukraine in kilometers squared
Now combine the Maftir of last week's parshah Sh'kalim when the present war began with the actual Census of the Israelites (not including those from Shevet Leivy) that was determined in this week's parshah, Pekudei from the collected Machtzit haShekel for the Mishkan. Both numbers are identical: 603,550. What are the odds?
Thoughts: 1. That the Divine Presence wants to come down into the 3rd Temple. 2. But first there will be Wars. Zelenskyy signed an order that every male between 18 and 60 must fight in the war of Ukraine's survival. Now I realize that Machtzit haShekel is for those men 20 and up, but it was understood in ancient times that men over 60 did not go to War.
OMG Dov that's incredible!
Jeremy Gimpel is a missionary facilitator.
https://fellowshipchurchofwintersprings.org/about/our-calling-vision/
"Over the years, our congregation has become active in the settlement movement in the Land of Israel ....." thanks to JG
Here he is speaking at said church
"
At around the 65.0 mark he quotes the "nt" and says he believes Hashem wants them to be the best xn they can be, talks about brotherhood with xns, but throughout separates himself from other Jews, why he's better, different, praises the xns for celebrating passover.
Any Jew with yirat shamayim should separate themselves from these missionary enablers, it doesn't matter if he's a nice guy, a vet, etc, etc. We are judged by the company we keep.
Whoa! I have only met him once many years ago. So you sent me a Church website with no link to any speech or sermon that he, Mr. Gimpel, may have given.
I had no idea that such accusations had been leveled against Mr. Gimpel! This is all news to me. Usually, though, I give credit to people who share novel thoughts. I try not to pretend that I discovered something on my own when I heard it from someone else. So I have to strike a balance between not engaging in Geneivat Daat (Stealing someone else's special insights) and giving credit to Jews who speak in Churches to Xtians enabling Missionaries. There is always a balancing act here.
With such a heavy accusation, could you send an actual audio file church talk that is not contained here?
I forgot the link, here it is:

Jeremy Gimpel at Fellowship Church
Jeremy Gimpel, founder of TheLandOfIsrael.com spoke to Fellowshp Church of Winter Springs, Florida on November 13, 2011.
If you want to save yourself an hour you can read the transcript. Note how he tries to portray himself as the good, enlightened Jew, as opposed to the rest of us, whilst praising them, which is forbidden (to praise).
He also wants to build churches in EY. (short clip).
https://jewishisrael.com/video/bayit-yehudi-candidate-jeremy-gimpel-wants-jews-to-build-churches
And do a search for him on JI for his other travesties.
These aren't accusations, but the man himself speaking. I try to be very careful with Lashon Hara, but 1) it's a mitzvah to warn people and 2) I go by information that the person themself put out in the public domain.
There are also words that are theologically loaded, such as "fellowship", which spark my suspicion.
Thanks Sharbano. What you sent is too ghastly to post, making fun of the Polish fur hats that Polish noblemen used to wear and that Chassidim in Beitar Ilit still wear and getting laughs from a Xtian audience at their expense. I will need to ask if Gimpel actually makes valid Torah points, do I need to ascribe credit to him for hearing something true for the first time? It is a question for a Rav. Not giving credit is a form of Geneivah (theft).
The apostates or converted to Christianity Jews , servants of the Globalist elite and advocators of the evil Agenda in every aspect of it (gender confusion, religious "tolerance", climate change policies, bio-robotic transhumanism, vaccination of the planet,
"overpopulation" control, etc.) , the vast majority if not all of them, they are part of the Frankist-"free"-masons cult, benei-Belial , and sertainly NOT tinikot shenishbaou. To them applies excommunication , no mercies.
This is a really important video (only 20 min). In short, the rav says that we have to stop talking about the wars that might happen, as we create the reality with our words, and that we have to talk about geula shleima berachamim.

Sorry guys, but I've seen plenty of evidence on the Internet about how the sides are cheering in this war. Russian propaganda is an enemy of my country, they have been for years, although Putin himself is not (he couldnt care less about anything but his own personal interests and delusions of rebuilding the Tsarist/Soviet empire). All the global enemies of Israel on both the right AND the left are shilling for Putin. The same reshaim who clutch their pearls when Israel bombed terrorists who were firing rockets at Israeli cities are now justifying a completely unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country that never attacked Russia in the first place. It's disgusting. Again, I repeat, on both the right AND the left. Some leftists who are critical of Israel also support Ukraine in this case, but they arent the worst among our haters, nor the majority among anti-Israel leftists (who are anti-western by default). It must indicate something, don't you think? Yes, i'm rooting for the global homo to win against Russia. I don't care if they take over the world at this point, since Mashiach is going to destroy them sooner or later with words from his mouth, without the need to gather an army. Probably Hashem is saving that for the grand finale, when they come for the "Jewish Khomenei" who is imposing true halacha in Eretz Israel (aka King Mashiach). But I want to see the downfall of the Kremlin first, and if possible also the CCP in China. Go Zelensky!
Ginno
They are bringing cluster bombs and vacum bombs! They are going to "Grozny" the whole place. Dov, do you think Putin will succeed in taking over Ukraine? Honest question

Anon.: Thank you for the lengthy video where Jeremy Gimpel spoke to a Church congregation. First of all, 98% of his Shiur would be considered kosher. The serious problem comes with the 2% of his time that he spends praising Xtians as "those amongst the nations that reject the Neveilut of our enemies." I would NOT call him a Missionary Facilitator, though. He is very clear that Xtians should cease missionizing Jews, but should let us be Torah Jews learning Torah and doing Mitzvot. "We do not need to be changed to be like Xtians.", he declares at one point. The serious issue with him is that he fails to see their worship of the Xtian mangod as a source of Neveilut or a source of Tumah. Now, it is true that almost all Protestant churches have rid themselves of rank idolatry. Their crosses at the front of their churches are bare, without the drooping statue of Yoshke's body attached to a cross. As a matter of fact, they have rid themselves of all such statues and pictures of what Catholic and Orthodox churches worship regularly as their god. In Messianic times, a non-Jew worshiping such a thing (a drooping statue or an icon) in Eretz Yisrael would be grounds for the death penalty. What does not bother Jeremy, but what should, is their worship of Oto Ish by calling his name as the son of a god which is problematic enough to be considered idolatry, albeit a less egregious form of it than the Catholic or Orthodox Church versions, and such people cannot participate in the service of G-d in the Temple in Yerushalayim in any era whether in our era or at the time of Ezra. And in a world where G-d is One and His Name will be One, He obviously will not have three names, which is an additional problem of believing in the Trinity. I realize Jeremy has hakarat HaTov for how this Southern Baptist school in Louisiana showed so much love for his father while attending College there, but while we can partner with such Xtian people on issues of spreading morality and human decency to the World at large, we cannot partner with them in any other spiritual context. By definition, those who believe in Oto Ish as the son of god and those who believe in a triune god are not Noachides. Personally, I like many fundamentalist Xtians too as decent human beings. They made the United States the greatest gentile country in world history, but they fail at the end because when your World to come is signed sealed and delivered by something other than decency for its own sake, the majority of people will choose decency only when they see a benefit for it in Olam HaZeh even if a minority of Xtians really attempt to be decent for its own sake. At the end of history, Xtianity even the best of them cannot be our partner to perfect the world into the Kingdom of the Almighty.
Having said this, I will simply post here Jeremy's video about the land area of the Ukraine being EXACTLY 603,550 kilometers squared which is the same number as the census of Israel in the Desert from the collection of Half a Shekel from every Male Adult Israelite from 20 and up in this weeks Parshah, Pekudei. The fact that last week's special Maftir was Sh'kalim, which is the Commandment to Collect Machtzit HaShekel in the first place, the Maftir for the week that the War began, makes this insight that much more spectacular. The 603,550 figure is precisely the same! That particular video is 100% kosher without the underlying issues of making Xtians our partners in perfecting the world. In no way am I partnering with Jeremy Gimpel's Fellowship to partner with Xtians.
In the future I need to find out if I can quote such people without giving them credit for coming up with something that I did not come up with myself. But one can surely point out this spectacular coincidence which should be publicized whether it was Gimpel or anyone else who discovered it.
I appreciate your taking the time to answer (although I still wish you had allowed my comment with the information from jewishisrael. Anyway search for Gimpel on the jewishisrael site and you will see his other activities. He says he wants to build churches, actually he volunteers all of us for it, absolutely forbidden to build in EY. He collaborates with Hayovel and joins in prayer with them.)
He is a missionary facilitator because he brings missionaries to Israel. It doesn't matter if he says that Jews should remain Jews, the point is that he is serving their agenda of softening us up for conversion, chalila. He is their "bridge" to the rest of us. That's how they operate. As for what percentage of his speech is treif, he shouldn't even be in a church. Their idolatry is not just physical statues but the fact that they believe in shituf. And sorry, but personal feelings about people in this context are irrelevant. There are lots of lovely people who believe things in total opposition to Torah whether religious or atheist beliefs.
As for whether or not you are partnering with JG, you are giving him legitimacy. If you have any influence over him to do tshuva and stop his involvement with xns, that's one thing, but by quoting and linking him you are helping spread his platform, with more youtube views.
LL
LL: Both your JGimpel Youtube video, JewishIsrael video, and my JG video were posted. In short, your Comment was posted with his 1 hour and 10 min video about Sefer Ezra included. I need to ask a shaylah whether I can give him credit in the future for Chiddushim. Anyway, Good night.

What Russia Wants from Ukraine and why Zelensky is Evil
Who determines the borders of a country? I found this and it interrupts .... How can NATO recognize Ukraine? What land mass will they accept? Search for the video of Zelensky addressing NATO, and all the promises they make. His speech was lengthy. Theirs more rhetoric. I saw it last nite and need to find it again. I wonder who is correct?
“Ukraine is Not a separate country – It was not registered as such, it is a part of Russia, meaning Russia can enter at any time.
“The Secretary-General of the United Nations has stated that Ukraine has not applied for border registration since 1991, so the state of Ukraine does not exist….
And we don’t know about it!!! “
“Ukraine has not registered its borders since 12/25/1991. The UN has not registered the borders of Ukraine as a sovereign state.
Therefore, it can be assumed that Russia is not committing any rights violations in relation to Ukraine.
According to the CIS Treaty, the territory of Ukraine is an administrative district of the
USSR. Therefore, no one can be blamed for separatism and forcibly changing the borders of Ukraine.
Under international law, the country simply has no officially recognized borders. [. . .]”

It's Adar Sheini and ....
Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is on fire.
It is the largest in Europe.
Hashem please bring Mashiach now!
Chodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom.
First, the nuclear plant is just fine.
As far as manipulating the public, the US and the media are also experts at it, even Fox.
In the first video; Most of the opinion on China could be accurate. It appears he also has fell for the propaganda about The Donbass. There are horrific videos of the carnage. In one instance, people were strolling around the square when an jet flies overhead and shoots missiles at the people. Women and children's bodies were splattered all over. What started it was at the Trade building. A demonstration had occurred and they were attacked by mobs. They entered that building and the mob set it on fire. One Ukrainian government official used a pistol picking off people in the building. Many were burnt to death. You can also find hospitals, schools, and countless homes shelled throughout.
Even the Times of Israel reported on the Nazi groups in Ukraine. There's plenty of videos of the Nazi / Skinhead groups.
And Yes, we Did have something to do with. Victoria Nuland was involved in the coup to overthrow Yanukovich. McCain was there also and Stood With the Nazis. If not, why does the Ukrainian National Guard have SS and Wolfsangel insignias tattooed and on their uniforms and helmets. Let's not forget the Bidens and their roles. Ukraine was a money pot for the rich and powerful.
Because of all the sanctions it may allow China to expand its CIPS system. That could result in the US losing its reserve currency status. Speaking of Billions of dollars. Consider how much American "Oligarchs" profit from "Disaster Capitalism". What the West has done is unite two major powers. It's a recipe for disaster.
There one final thing, as always. The US did to Ukraine precisely what they did in Afghanistan, promote the lgb??. I don't even remember the rest. There was an old woman in Donbass who was complaining about Ukraine saying, "We don't want their (expletive) LGB.. here". She went on to say it's not their way, referencing her religious beliefs.

This is both awesome and hilarious at the same time. I hope there's no deal:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-says-wont-back-iran-nuke-deal-without-us-guarantees-over-ukraine-sanctions/
Fabio
It’s starting in Taiwan = the cleanup process.
Fabio: There will, very likely, be a Deal. The West is so Evil and so Reprobate that they cannot see the forces of darkness that they are dealing with since they are equally dark. In order for this Coming Hoshana Rabbah 5783 to be The Great and Awesome Day of HaShem ( יום השם הגדול והנורא), both Bears, Russia and Persia, need to be nuclear powers on the March for Conquest before the end of 5782. They will be joined by The Magog of this Reprobate Shmittah year, China. Unless we have a reservoir of human decency that we could not find in Gush Qatif in 2005 to blunt this Gathering 2 Shmittah cycles later, we are on a B'Itah track. But alas Eliyahu HaNavi will come to inspire Israel to repent before that Great and Awesome Day.
That was the Gaon's point all along, why he called this power Dubiel or Bear Power. He meant to ally Russia and Persia with each other in this Shmittah year of destiny. Both Bears are working with each other.
I would not worry though. We are told that Israel will repent to tip those scales when the man like Haman becomes a serious threat. Khamenai is Haman. G-d wants to make it obvious that we are alone without Him.
Keep in mind, this is for keeps. It is the End of history being in the Malkhut of the Reshayim. HaShem needs to guarantee that we fully understand What is being destroyed on our behalf, that we run toward Righteousness when Mashiach yells, "Whoever is with HaShem, Come unto me!" This time, at the ultimate tikkun for the Golden Calf, there can be no question hanging over us for the rest of history.
And Fabio: I personally agree with 90% of your assertions about the Morality of the present conflict, irrespective of Ukraine being the bloodsoaked land of countless slaughtered Jews in the last 500 yrs. Of course, Ukraine was attacked without provocation. Of course, they are in the right to defend themselves. And of course they had the legitimate right to try and join NATO. On the practical level though, once Trump was replaced by the Dementia ridden Reprobate, Zelenskyy should have rethought that application only because it would have extended his survival in a Bear eat dog world as a non-aligned nation.
But here we are at this juncture watching the pain and suffering of that nation and wondering in what time span this will jump from a Regional brutal war to WW3.
Another thing. Putin knows that he won't be able to take over Ukraine if the people keep fighting, it's a big place after all. So he might decide that, if he can't have that country, neither does the West, so he will bomb Ukrainian cities into oblivion. He will wreck the whole thing, just like they did in Grozny and Aleppo. If only there was a competent President in the White House like Trump instead of Mr Magoo, things would probably be different.

From Fabio, last sentence edited:
Thanks, Dov. I really don't like bullies, no matter which country they come from, specially when those bullies have access to thousands of nukes and can blackmail the entire world. This is why it's so important to stop the ayatollahs before they get even close to nuclear weapons. They are far crazier, irrational and fanatic than Putin, although the latter is proving to be a nutcase too. This is what scares me the most. Putin couldnt care less if Russians suffer under tremendous pressure or if Russia becomes a pariah in the international community, but there might be a point where, if the West destroys Russia's economy enough, he will feel he has nothing to lose and will threaten the West with a nuclear holocaust unless they remove the sanctions. And he doesnt make empty promises, as we can see. How can you stop thousands of nuclear missiles at the same time? Everything is in the hands of Hashem anyway, maybe this was the plan the whole time to bring the extermination of 2/3 of humanity. Even if Israel escapes the original destruction, don't think for a second that things here will be normal as usual. Leaving aside the environmental disaster as a result of a massive nuclear war, the entire world's economy depends on America and European capitals. This will not be easy for anybody. I'm close to the point of saying "Let them all go to Hell, bring it on already! Whatever happens, happens."
Well, with a Growing level of Certainty, it seems that the 2 Russian incursions from the North seem to have stalled. Only in the South along the Northern shore of the Black Sea are the Russians still advancing. The Key for Putin will be if he can conquer Odessa this week.
The Chinese are watching, taking notes. Taiwan is a much smaller island than Ukraine in Area, with slightly more than half of Ukraine's population. The Taiwan Straits become much less stormy by the last week in March.
Just now had the time to read the comments of the last few days. Must respond on the matter of JGimpel. The comments by LL are completely 100% correct. Have been reading about JG and seen many videos over the years. He is definitely a missionary facilitator. JewishIsrael has been writing about him for a number of years. This is no secret and just because one has no idea about him is no reason to make him kosher. Really believe that Jews in Israel should be especially aware of what's going on with the Xtian movement and, in general its infiltration, to quite an extent, in the government and in all areas of life in the country and this is why a so-called 'love affair' between Israel and the xtians has grown to such an extent. There are reasons for this which fits into their goals as xtians. It is a widely known principle of their faith that they missionize in order to convert the Jews and to eventually make Yerushalayim theirs, c'v. Many Jews have fallen for this, because they want to be loved by the nations (a Jewish mental flaw). This is all against Halacha as our Sages have warned never to discuss 'religion' with any faith. We can be friends with everyone but never to partner in any way with any other faiths.
Many are probably sincere in their friendship but that is not the real goal.

Fabio
FYI only:
What we've been seeing in such a short time leaves one in near panic mode. I never imagined, in my entire life, that the entire world could be mobilized against one single ethnicity. Whatever one thinks of the Russian people, the hysteria over Everything Russian, to even include an opera singer, sends chills down the spine. If done to Russians, how much more so with Jews. I noticed years ago the primary support of Israel was based on being a "democracy". What if Israel decides on a Torah-based government. Few respect Torah, let alone Talmud. Matters will be made worse with certain people's involvement. Many support Zelensky, but his ties to Kolomoisky could be a starting point for dark days ahead. You also have the Russian Jewish philanthropist billionaires who support many Jewish causes.
Yeah you got that right, the West is not punishing Putin but the whole of Russia.
This is not new as the USA has done this with other smaller nations before, what is different now is that most of the nations have adopted this US policy.
Sharbano: Israel and Russia are not comparable situations right now. Not only because Israel is a democracy aligned with the West, but because last time I checked Ukraine didn't fire missiles into Moscow nor called on Russia to be wiped off the map. Let's not pretend this is happening to them "just because they don't share western values." This was a completely unnecessary, unjustified and unprovoked invasion by the Kremlin. And if Russians suffer under unprecedented sanctions, sorry, but they brought it on themselves. Their suffering is in Putin's hands, not anybody else. Nevertheless, I get what you mean. Most likely this will never happen to Medinat Israel, as long as basic things like democratic order and protection of holy sites are mantained. In other words, the current status quo in Israel. An increase in violence in the West Bank or a war with Hezbollah, Hamas or even Iran won't change this. I can only imagine the whole world going against Israel if we blow up the Dome of the Rock or start an actual genocide against Arabs. However, the world ganging up on us could very much happen in MALCHUT Israel, after Mashiach Ben David is revealed and he starts to behave like a "Jewish Khomenei" under Western eyes. Forget about our traditional Muslim or leftist enemies, it will be mainly Jews and Israelis who demand the world to stop him, together with our current friends in Europe and North America. It will be the White House and US Congress leading the charge. But when that happens, there will be no reason to worry, assuming you are on the good list according to Hashem. The international order will become meaningless and Mashiach will destroy entire armies with holy verses from his mouth. It will be a completely different reality. Quite the opposite, those living in Western capitals should worry. But I hope the (also wicked) enemies of the West fall first (aka Putin, CCP, Iran, Venezuela, etc). Next Purim coincides with a big Zoroastrian holiday and demostration in Iran against the ayatollahs. I heard Western powers are so desperate to find an alternative source of energy so they can punish Russia that they are willing to concede all of the Iranian demands to make the nuclear deal happen, including lifting sanctions on architerrorists like Ahmad Vahidi who according to Interpol was responsible for bombing a Jewish center at the city where I was born in 1994. Iran is going to get many billions of dollars to fuel their campaign of terror across the Middle East and beyond. Closing the Keystone pipeline because a retarded Swedish teenager made you feel bad doesn't seem so wise, doesn't it Mr Magoo? "How dare you? I should be in schoooool". The world is too distracted with Eastern Europe as to even care about Iran anymore, at least for the moment. It's not good for us. Putin screwed the entire world with his lunatic dreams of restoring the empire, first and foremost Ukrainians, but also his own people and indirectly our own geopolitical situation as well. So sick of this. May Hashem decree this Hadar the fall of Dubiel once and for all.
Fabio
You know for me the difference between USA and China is the US is a country run by corporations and China is a corporation that runs a country.
Yes, the disgusting child molesting Reprobate POTUS is about to arm the ancient Bear, Persia.
I was afraid this would happen when the 2 Northern attack pincers stalled near Kharkiv and 30 to 40 kilometers north of Kiev because of Ukrainian resistance. Russia (or Putin) is bombing civilians, intentionally and indiscriminately.
If Putin loses this war, he is a dead man. The Russian Oligarchs or its Military heads will have him assassinated. He will not be allowed to lose and cut his losses with his tail between his legs. Putin will now bounce the rubble in Kiev and Kharkiv as the rubble in Aleppo bounced during the Syrian Civil War. Perhaps, perhaps 400 years of Jewish blood is crying out from the Ground. At the end of history all spiritual loans and unrepented for deeds must be paid back at the Heaven's Central Bank. I realize that this is on Putin's Cheshbon, but this random slaughter on civilians is a reckoning for so much historic spilt innocent blood that came long before. G-d chose Ukraine as the first battle in the 3rd War of GoguMagog for a reason.
Every day it is heating up.....

So, Mr Magoo, remember when you called Saudi Arabia a pariah state? I hope all the stupid virtue signalling by Democrats for the killing of poor Muslim Brotherhood terror supporter Jamal Khashoggi was worth it. Now that your country and the world need Saudi oil they have an easy time showing you the middle finger:

The West is as Evil in its financial destruction against those who are not complying to their Tyranny as Russia is with regards to spilling blood. Just ask the Canadian truckers. There is no one country who is a force for good to counterweight all this evil. At least in our lifetimes, the Universality of Reprobate Evil is a Chiddush.
You are absolutely right, Dov. However, I personally prefer a world order dominated by America and the West instead of Russia and the CCP. Yes, the gay and tranny stuff is horrible, but the Kremlin can never be trusted on anything, just like when they denied planning an invasion during their military "exercise". At least in America you can still mock and curse the president without consequences, while in Russia you get arrested for a simple peace demonstration. Russia's standard of living sucks, and their population is literally declining because people don't have kids, but they can't import migrants like the West. Russia has no future as a superpower. Also Putin made a serious mistake. I bet Finland and Sweden are dying to get into NATO right now before it's too late, while the Baltics are praising the day when they joined, since Putin knows he can't touch them. The West is going to win this one. Although somehow in the end Hashem will. It's just a matter of time.
Fabio
No, the West will not win this one. As per Heavenly decree by the end of 5782, they will both lose. $200 oil is destroying everything....
And lo and behold, the EU JUST asked Israel to supply them with Natural Gas! Bennett is mulling it over. Hmmmm
The staggering inflation is hitting the West very hard.
Household energy bills, petrol for cars, food, local and national taxes and social security contributions have all increased much more than wages have risen.
And this on top of economies weakened by Covid.
Here in the UK, the government lost billions of pounds to fraudulent business support claims during the initial lockdown. People used shell companies and dormant business to claim vast amounts of money in the form of business grants and loans, which will never be repaid or recovered.
People are having to choose between heating their homes or eating.
Riots are quite possible this summer/early autumn.
Agree with London Male. Inflation is through the roof as prophesied before Moshiach. Gas [petrol] and all the flow-ons from that, plus the devastating floods and Covid, prices have skyrocketed. Average families will not survive this. And it's only getting started.
Winter is coming to Australia, so as with London, heating will be an issue, electricity prices are high, real estate is out of peoples' price ranges anyway, rents will rise and people will be living in tents.
MAKE ALIYA
The most important thing is kviat haratzon. Decide that this is what you truly want, regardless of external hindrances, strengthen yourself in emuna, daven and take action.
I know all the arguments why you can't, but find a way anyway. Get organised in groups, strengthen each other, spread the word, contact sympathetic MKs regarding any difficulties whether personal or bureaucratic obstacles. Help the vulnerable.
And most of all stop saying "can't". When you do that you're blocking your mazal.
And if you don't want to make aliya, and say "when Moshiach comes the whole world will be EY" you need to read Em Habanim Smeichah urgently. We are not supposed to be "am mefuzar umefurad" but united physically as a nation in EY.
I can give a list of rabbonim calling, begging for Jews to come home urgently. Some of them are at bringthemhome.org, and there are many more.
LL
In addition to making aliya to save yourselves, Jews in the diaspora need to make aliya to save Israel. The war for Israel as a Jewish country is far from won. Non-Jews continue to pour in whilst Jews refuse to come. Random people are going to Ukraine, risking life and limb, to fight in a war that is not theirs, and Jews refuse to fight for their country. I don't mean going to the army necessarily. Every Jew who makes EY their home (and encourages others to do so) is fighting for their country, just by being here, and how much more so if one is observant. Rav Anava said that the more Jews there are in EY keeping Torah and mitzvot, the stronger our hold is on the land, Rav Kahana said that the Jews in exile are holding up the geula. And I daren't write what Chesed L'Avraham wrote about it. Needless to say, there is much, much more to say on the subject.
I know that people get very upset if one dares to mention the A-word, but this is the uncomfortable truth. Speakers from Israel are told not to talk about aliya. Even Rav Mordechai Eliyahu zatzal was told that (but the rav did anyway). Hearing about aliya is so unpalatable to many Jews in exile, they even had the chutzpah to tell Rishon L'Tsion what he could or could not say. Many other speakers from Israel have similar stories.
Spring is coming in Israel and the Israeli government has decided to build 12 new towns for new immigrants. The only question is will it be you bringing all your Torah and mitzvot or Stepan with his avoda zara.

With the Ukraine war going on, I am still not sure who is Gog.
Reb Dov has written about how it is not Putin.
Might it be the Defence Minister and General Sergei Shoigu, whose original family name was likely Shoigoglu?
He is from Chadan in the Tuvan Oblast, far to the East of the Urals, near Mongolia.
His father is Tuvan, his mother ethnically Russian but born in Ukraine.
President of Ukraine: Jewish
Mayor of Kyiv: Jewish and pro-Israel ( https://www.jpost.com/international/article-700968 )
Russian Alex Jones and "minister of propaganda" for Putin: Jewish (Vladimir Solovyov)
Aleksandr Kofman, leader and former "minister of foreign affairs" of the Russian-backed People's Republic of Donetsk: Jewish ( https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bjumniexq )
We have Jewish leaders on both sides. It's so bizarre! Don't tell our enemies, but I can't believe 0.2% of the world's population is so prominent everywhere. Also in Argentina Jews are prominent in politics, business, science and entretainment, despite being only 0.5% of that country's population (granted, it's a bigger percentage un urban centers, but never more than 10 or 15% at most!). How can it be that the world revolves around Jews, Dov? It's a double-edge sword.
Fabio
Oh my G-d: The final assault on Kiev has begun just in time for Ta'anit Esther!
To stay up to date with a site that is not "cheerleading" for Western Edom, I would suggest India Today.
https://youtu.be/lyeyoqwXm5o
Just to clarify, they are cheerleading for the Civilians who are now dying by the dozens.... if not worse, but they are not cheerleading for Putin or NATO.
This is a complex war with deep emotions for a Jew. In this incarnation at this time, Putin is Cruel and 99% in the wrong. I will give his concern about NATO encroachment a 1% justification.
But in the long history of the nation of Israel in exile, there is only 1 circumstance when at the Founding of a Nation, that Nation was conceived and born in its birthday party by shedding rivers of Jewish blood. The singular nation in history to be born and to slaughter 300,000 Jews in the same two year birthday party was Bogdan Chelminitzky's Ukraine in 1648- 1649 (5408 - 5409, aka Tach veTat).
So while in our contemporary lens, the innocent Ukrainians are being slaughtered unjustly, in G-d's Cheshbon at the end of Olam HaZeh, all accounts for the shedding of Jewish blood for the last 3800 years must be paid in full.
Could Kiev collapse to the Cobra (Putin) over Purim?
The best indicator of what a country is about to do is by how they indoctrinate their children. This is why an invasion of Taiwan is imminent.
China Uncensored
On a personal note, about 20 years ago I spent a month in Ukraine on a mini shlichut, and I experienced more blatant (and scary) antisemitism than I had in my whole life, and the Jewish community said that that was what they were used to. Ukraine has never held trials or given any accounting for their pivotal role in the Shoah, and still celebrate their homegrown Nazis. Chelminitski has a town, airport, university etc named after him. So whilst it is disturbing to see individuals suffering the ravages of war, to this day, as a country, they are definitely not innocent.
Regarding Zelensky being PM (aka proof of philosemitism), Pakistan had a female PM and yet is one of the worst countries for its treatment of women. I heard, and forget which rav said, that Ukraine and Russia are like Haman and Achashverosh. The only side Jews should be taking is the Jewish side, helping Jews survive,leave and resettle. That is all.
LL
Bogdan (or Bohdan) Chelminitski is their Founding Father!. He is their George Washington, lehavdil It is downright macabre!
Wow, I haven't had time to keep up with the comments. What an impressive thread. There is one thing that no one seems to have spoken of and this is of great concern to me, beyond the war. Hashem is handling the war. What concerns me is the tremendous control in the hands of tech oligarchs who are today using it against Russia and everything Russian, including people. They have taken complete control of information. America and the EU have taken complete control of money. This should disturb us tremendously, because perhaps today, everyone cheers them on. But, next will be Israel. When we refuse to divide our land and make a "country" for a "fake people," or should, chas v'shalom Hamas decide to start firing rockets, these tech oligarchs will turn the lefty anti-Israel "influencers" on us. Our story will not get out. The west will see nothing but the "civilian" buildings bombed by the "evil occupiers", with the usual photos collected over the years of suffering children, blood, destroyed homes, etc I already see the movie. By the way, did you know that the photo of little arab Shirley Temple, from when she was little, punching the IDF soldier has been shared billions of times on social media with the caption "brave Ukrainian girl defends her land against evil Russian soldier." Yes, this social media war will be waged against us. And our "leaders" (sic) will be forced into submission.
Dov said: So while in our contemporary lens, the innocent Ukrainians are being slaughtered unjustly, in G-d's Cheshbon at the end of Olam HaZeh, all accounts for the shedding of Jewish blood for the last 3800 years must be paid in full.
me: I ask with all humility, please tell of a place on this planet Jewish blood has not been shed (even in the Holy Land, brother against brother) If this is true what you say, that all accounts everywhere must be paid in full, where can we go? And "who" in this world is innocent/safe of this decree if descendants are even held accountable for shedding of said blood from the past? Please forgive if my question upsets, but it is sincere question....I want to know what Hashem says on the matter from your much learning please.

The entire week last week was pressure filled. I will have more time to write this evening.
First of all, with the passing of Rav Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky zt"l we are now bereft of even the Acharon of Acharonim. We are truly in the post Acharonic Era. Usually these eras collapse to a lower level of Tzaddiqim and Talmidei Chachamim between 50 to 80 years after a major Churban. This is noteworthy in the previous steep spiritual decline after the onset of the Hispaniola Inquisitions in 1492. About 70 years later, the Era of Rishonim ended in and about 1550. Now approx 80 years after the Shoah, the Acharonic Era has come to a close.
In many ways the Acharonic Era, where there was an uncontested Av Bet Din of the generation ended for Ashkenazim with the passing of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt"l in 1995. After his passing no individual Ashkenazi Gadol was the undisputed Gadol haDor for Ashkenazim until Rav Chaim seemed to nostalgically reclaim that title. After the passing of Rav Shlomo Zalman, 50 yrs after the Shoah ended, the Ashkenazic world splintered into the Litvak Gadol, the Mizrachi Zionist Gadol, and the various Rebbes of Chassidic Dynasties (with an honorable mention to Rav Menachem Shneerson zt"l, the last Lubavitcher Rebbe who for many unaffiliated Jews had an unofficial title of Nassi HaDor) until his severe stroke in 1992. Yet, at least in the Ashkenazic World, Rav Chaim in his greatness seemed to have at least reclaimed the title as the authority of highest repute for the most difficult shaylot. This was helped along with the passing of the last true Acharon in the Sephardic World, Rav Ovadia Yosef zt"l, who passed away in 2013. When he passed on, many Sephardim saw Rav Chaim as a Gadol of similar caliber. Notice that the Sephardic Acharonic Era lasted almost 20 yrs longer than the Ashkenazic Era because the Shoah which precipitated this Yeridah hit the Ashkenazic World more severely. So Rav Chaim's Renaissance as undisputed Gadol was cemented by the combined collective opinion of both Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews!... Well with the passing of this Giant in Torah, we are truly bereft, for what comes after a post-Acharonic Era Acharon?.... Only Mashiach.
One slight error: Perhaps I will repost this. I should have used the Words Iberian Inquisitions not Hispaniola Inquisitions, in reference to the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal.

I point out the strife and bickering at the end of the Acharonic Era because it is no accident that there have only been 7 Eras since Nevu'a or Prophesy was removed from the world when the male pre-disposition for idolatry was removed from the world. The levels of post-prophetic Chochmah in the world through our sages must correspond to the Sefirot of the 7 lower dimensions of the Nefesh Elyon of Klal Yisrael (Zugot Tanayim- Malkhut, Later Tanayim- Yesod, Amoraim- Hod, Savoraim- Netzach, Geonim- Tiffereth, Rishonim- Gevurah, Acharonim- Chessed). When each era blossomed from the ashes of the Churban which caused the Collapse of the previous era, it coalesced into a unified expression of Torah from a lower but deeper part of our collective soul. So while the Torah from Chessed indeed comes from a lower level than the Torah that comes from Gevurah, it also comes from the deepest sefirah of our collective soul (which explains why Chassidut needed to be born in the Acharonic Era in order to extract the Chessed in it!) Trying to bury these emotional sefirot of Klal Yisrael in order to avoid feeling the pain of Churbant throughout history is a horrible crime which needed rectification because it ignores the previous pain of the Destructions that came before and the lessons learned and brought out as halakhah from previous but higher expressions of Chochmah. At the end of history, there are no more deeper but lower expressions of Chochmah to rectify. So the collapse from rectifying Chessed in the Acharonic Era temporarily (until Mashiach comes) collapses into an Abyss which seems to be the source of Strife and bickering, as we learn from the strife and bickering which destroyed the 2nd Temple (during the Roman exile which IS the Abyss in Bereishit 1:2)
וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם. 2 Now the earth was unformed (chaotic) and void (with something in it), and darkness was upon the face of the Abyss; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
The Chaos was Bavel. The Void was Paras. The Darkness was Greece, and the Abyss is Rome. So as the Acharonic Era has collapsed, the strife and bickering increased. But Rav Chaim came around to soothe those boiling tensions as best as anyone could accomplish at this endpoint of history.
There's no words for the enormity of what has just suddenly taken place. Finding it hard to concentrate on anything...
Who imagined that Rav Chaim ZKZ"L would ever leave us? So much uncertainty so much unfathomability so much unease...
We were under a protective blanket which is no longer...
Hashem Yeracheim Aleinu!
HR
The proof that this rectification of Chessed is complete, that Chassidut completed its Avodah at the end of history, is that the last Gadol that could unify Klal Yisrael by soothing boiling tensions after a period of strife was indeed a Litvak!
Twyla: The answer to your question, as has often been the case on this blog, comes to us as a secret from the Pesach Seder. In previous discussions on this blog we discussed how the First Redemption from Egypt occurred with the Yud and the first Hey in HaShem's Name. The Yud expressed itself as the 10 plagues in Mitzraim, and the first Hey expressed itself as the 5x multiplier effect at the Sea. As the Hagaddah itself reminds us, if there were ten plagues in Egypt, there were 50 more at the Sea. If there were 40 plagues in Egypt, there were 200 more at the Sea, or if there were 50 plagues in Egypt, there were 250 more at the Sea! Then came Amaleq to split the two Geulot by weakening our Faith so that the second half of the Redemption would not necessarily occur with the Generation that received the Torah. So the second half where the Vav and the Final Hey are manifest by being connected to the Yud and the Hey would only occur at the End of history. Of course, that would only be decreed because of the two primordial sins of our nationhood, the Sin of the Golden Calf in Year 1 followed by the Sin of the Spies in Year 2. The two Rebukes, one in Leviticus and the last one in Devarim seem to reflect the relative severity of both sins. While the Rebuke in Leviticus is painful (following the Sin of the Golden Calf), the Rebuke in Devarim following the Sin of the Spies is longer, bloodier, and almost impossible to bear. But two Generations ago, after the Shoah which took place in the 2nd War of GogUMagog known as WW2, the Klausenburger Rebbe, Rav Yekusiel Halberstam zt"l let it be known to all Jews that the curse of the Rebukes in both Leviticus and Devarim had all occurred. He did this by either pounding on the bimah or pounding at his own table that when the Tochachot were read, they were to be read slowly and succinctly like any other parshiyot or Aliyot of the Torah. The Satan had no power to request another Churban in the Heavenly Court if the Rebukes in the Torah had already fully taken place! So why read them quickly and in an undertone if they could not occur once again!
The one exception to this are curses that we bring about through our free will such as worshiping gods of wood (Xtianity) and gods of stone (Islam) or simply worshiping gods of real estate or apathy or ambivalence or worst of all, Popularity (in order to be loved by the world) and the like. Widespread destruction imposed upon us from the gentile nations would cease, but destructions at our own hand, G-d forbid, would be allowed to continue. Paying for one's choice of self-destruction is sadly the way of the world, but since it is self-inflicted, there is no reward for it in the next world. So it seems that whatever Wrath the L-rd has against us for our collective sins as a Klal throughout all of history has already occurred, reaching its ultimate culmination and completion in the Holocaust. It will not be required of us again, and most certainly, collectively, it will not be required of us, collectively, in the 3rd War of GoguMagog. continued....
So when we reach the zenith of the first half of the Pesach Seder, just before we recite the brakhah over the 2nd cup of wine, we read the first two Prakim of Hallel which explicitly praise HaShem for the Redemption from Mitzraim. Since the first cup of wine corresponds with the Yud in HaShem's Name, the 2nd cup of wine corresponds with the first Hey in His Name and is drunk after a long brakhah thanking G-d for Yetziat Mitzraim, the Splitting of the Sea, and all future redemptions and their respective holidays to commemorate them (along with the rebuilding of the Temple and the reinstitution of animal sacrifices in which we partially partake by eating them). We immediately wash our hands, and with two whole Matzahs (lechem Mishneh required on YomTov) we recite HaMotzi (with the smaller half from Yachatz in the middle). Then we drop the lower whole piece so that the brakhah over Matzah, representing the Redemption from the 49th level of tumah in Egypt, is specifically said with the smaller half from Yachatz with intent. The smaller half is held with this brakhah because the larger half is for the "End of Days" after the main meal at the Seder since the Final Redemption will be or is at this time already greater than the Redemption from Mitzraim. (The larger half is hidden away as the Afikomen or Tzafun, of course.) Then after Maror and Korekh, we have the main meal which symbolically represents all of the Qorbanot we have partaken in throughout Jewish history at least when we had Temples. Sadly, when we have not had Temple's to offer up fully burnt offerings (Olot) for the nations of the world, we ourselves have become those offerings (a subject for another time). But this brings us to the important part, the Final Redemption after the Shulchan Orekh!
It starts with Tzafun, the hidden part of the final Redemption. In short, why is it hidden? Because Eliyahu HaNavi lost the privilege to herald the first part of the Final Redemption, the Mashiach ben Yosef phase of the Redemption in which we already find ourselves! He complained about Klal Yisrael not being as zealous as he himself was after the confrontation with the Priests of Ba'al and Ashtarot at Har Karmel. He expected massive teshuvah, but most of the people, the vast majority, who said HaShem He is Our G-d at the end of that miraculous day went home and did not zealously return to G-d bringing a spiritual reawakening to the Northern Kingdom. Jezebel sensed this and sent a message to him that she would kill him after the fervor of the previous day was already forgotten. So he entered a state of depression and returned to Har Sinai to try to return the Torah! Well at that stage, HaShem told Eliyahu that he was to do three things: 1. Anoint Elisha as his successor. It is the Tana"kh's way of saying "Your are fired. You need a successor. Your complaints are noted, but you need much more tolerance and patience."
2. that he would attend every Pesach Seder and Brit Milah until the end of Olam HaZeh in order to see that Israel has not abandoned her G-d
3. He was to give over five Vavs in his name (4 Vavs in Sefer Melakhim Bet and 1 Vav at the end of Malakhi) to Ya'akov's name spelled with a Vav five times in all of Tana"kh (One of those Vavs is Zekharti et Briti Ya'akov in the Tochachah in Leviticus referring specifically to Mashiach ben Yosef, and four of those Vavs are in Yirmiyahu) continured....
So because of this mistake by Eliyahu HaNavi, he only will return to herald the Mashiach ben David phase of the Final Redemption, the one that concludes with the 4th cup of wine. The Tzafun phase is the Mashiach ben Yosef phase which we are completing as I write this. In spiritual terms it started when the Vilna Gaon tried to make Aliyah in the late 1780s near the end of his life but settled for sending some of his students on Aliyah after he passed away. In tachlit terms it began with the founding of Zikhron Ya'akov in 1882 (VeZekharti et Briti Ya'akov...), the first or second continuously surviving agricultural aliyah in the modern era. Technically, it may have been the fourth agricultural settlement because Rosh Pinah was the first in 1878, Petach Tikvah the second, and Rishon LeTzion the third in 1882. Yet, both Rosh Pinah and Petach Tikvah needed to be refounded in 1882 or 1883 because of Arab marauders at Rosh Pinah and a malaria epidemic in Petach Tikvah had wiped out the settlements. So all four settlements were founded or refounded within months of each other in 1882 or the beginning of 1883. And the Mashiach ben Yosef portion of Jewish History began and would last a maximum of 140 years until this very year 2022, as I discuss in detail right here. From when Yosef became Viceroy of Mitzraim at age 30 until the miraculous birth of Moshe Rabbeinu was between 139 and 140 years. Over this era of Jewish history, the hidden or Tzafun part of the final Redemption, the Vav is added to the Yud and the Hey of HaShem's Name. From Yehoshua bin Nun to Yehonatan Pollard, all potential Mashiach ben Ephraims have a Yud Hey Vav consecutively in their names! And over that Tzafun we drink a 3rd cup of wine after Birkat HaMazon. continued.....
And this is where we arrive at the story of the 4th cup of wine which begins with..... pouring a cup for Eliyahu HaNavi! Because it is at this moment in history when he is supposed to arrive and herald the coming of the Mashiach ben David. But lo and behold what do we do? We go outside (or to an open front door) and with a loud voice we proclaim from Psalm 79:
ה עַד-מָה יְהוָה, תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח; תִּבְעַר כְּמוֹ-אֵשׁ, קִנְאָתֶךָ. 5 How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?
ו שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ-- אֶל הַגּוֹיִם, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יְדָעוּךָ:
וְעַל מַמְלָכוֹת-- אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ, לֹא קָרָאוּ. 6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, {N}
and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.
ז כִּי, אָכַל אֶת-יַעֲקֹב; וְאֶת-נָוֵהוּ הֵשַׁמּוּ. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
Psalm 69: כה שְׁפָךְ-עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ; וַחֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ, יַשִּׂיגֵם. 25 Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
Eichah 3:66 סו תִּרְדֹּף בְּאַף וְתַשְׁמִידֵם, מִתַּחַת שְׁמֵי יְהוָה. {פ} 66 Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD. {P}
So the first turn of events of this new era seems to be the Vengeance of the L-rd against those nations that devoured us throughout the entire breadth of Jewish history. And the first place seems to be the one place in the world that became a nation in the same year 1648 when it devoured between 100,000 and 300,000 Jews over the course of two years 1648 and 1649.
Now this is important. (and G-d help us that Google allows me to post this.) As human beings we have limited memories. The Ukrainians of the last 30 years are a freedom loving people and do not seem to be the bloodthirsty nation that shed rivers of Jewish blood when Bogdan Chelminitzky went on his rampage against ALL the Jews under his bloodthirsty sword seeking revenge for the 1% of all Jewish men who enslaved them with tax collections for Polish landlords. The vast majority of Jews were dairy farmers, kosher butchers, farmers, and mercantile tradesmen. Yet, Chelminitzky's bloodthirsty rage extended to them and their children whose flesh he and his henchmen flayed from their very bones after butchering them. Yes, G-d's memory is a long one, and it seems that the time of His Wrath has arrived. Is it for us to judge and inflict punishment? Of course not! We cannot even hold the children of those who commit death penalty offenses accountable for the crimes of their parents. But G-d???
Yes, to the 4th generation.

Ne'eman added: "Gantz puts himself on the wrong side of Zionist history in terms of establishing a presence in Judea and Samaria, but the game is far from over.” Since Ne'eman made these comments, further structures have been demolished in the area around Kochav Hashachar. Security forces have blocked roads in the area to prevent Jews from arriving to protest the expulsions and demolitions. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/324341
Is your settlement near the above demolished ones?
Seems they are clearing the way of a “P….. State"
Kokhav haShachar is 30 minutes away from Kokhav Yaakov. K.Y. is only 9 to 10 kilometers north/ northeast of the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood in Yerushalayim. From our highest hill Tel Tzion, above the Chareidi town of that name, one can see both the Temple Mount and by pivoting 60 degrees in the same spot, downtown Ramallah where Arafat yemach shmo is buried. We overlook both Shaar Binyamin industrial Park and ancient Michmass where Yehonatan ben Shaul and his armour bearer took on an entire Philistine garrison alone. From my 2nd story porch, one can see the spot from the lower wadi (named after Yehonatan) where he climbed a shear faced cliff named Seneh to attack the large garrison that fled toward Geva Binyamin, today aka Yishuv Adam, when Yehonatan attacked them. (Shmuel Alef 14)
K. HaShachar is deeper in the Binyamin region, 30 minutes to the northeast of here and is east of Ofra.
Dov, I've always wonder. What's stopping those Fakestinians living in Judea and Samaria from replicating Hamas in Gaza and fire rockets (easy to produce domestically) into Israeli cities across the Green Line, G-d forbid a million times? After all, like you said, they are on the high ground.

At this point in history even if we disconnect from everything and all we do is lie on the beach all day long, we will still win.
All of you go to the beach and if you are bored watch the horizon line and count the birds, boats or clouds that pass or measure the strength of the wind.. Anything!
At the end of this olam's history the world flies on automatic pilot cuz the plane has GOTTA land PERFERCTLY.
Really I dont get why some jews fear.
By a nes H brought all these crazies to the forefront of our lives in the last couple of yrs [as programmed thousands of yrs ago] so cant He also remove them whenever He decides the time has come [as programmed thousands of yrs ago already]??
You gotta realize Whom H really is.
Be a lion not a fox nor a mouse.
Relax and enjoy the show.
In tehillim 3 and 59 H says He is laughing while watching this so why dont you laugh too ?? There is a super joke on the way. Can you laugh ?
Actually Fabio, most Yishuvim are on the top of hills. K.Yaakov, Bet El, Maaleh Michmash, Maaleh Levonah, Shiloh, and Eli are all on the top of hills. The highest place in the Binyamin/ Shomron region is Bet El next to the spot where Yaakov dreamed of ascending and descending angels. Next to that spot there is a water tower on top of which on most days one can see most of the tall bldgs. in Tel Aviv.
Notice that KHaMaNei of Paras/Iran has Haman's name in his name. Teshuvah is going to likely be demanded of us by the end of 5782 until Yom Kippur of 5783 by placing that Haman at our doorstep. The other Bear in Dubiel, Iran, is being allowed by the puppet masters and little workers (like Psaki) of the demented reprobate in the White House to have a quick pathway to nukes. That is also part of the auto-pilot setup. Get ready for that. Be calm, but this might not yet be the time for weekends at the beach.
From years of research and study on this matter, the climax of Geulah B'ITAH is Hoshana Rabbah at the end of Sukkot of the Motzei Shmittah year. Unless we have merit for Achishena, which would only come when those responsible realize that they delayed the Geulah by joining Sharon's govt, I would pray for that repentance in advance but accept that that repentance might be delayed until this Fall when the Season for repentance is here. The fact that one of the very last mitzvot, if not the last one in the Torah, is Hakhel (to gather the nation for a mass Torah reading during Sukkot of Motzei Shmittah) should tell us something about the trajectory of Geulah b'itah.
Every YomTov or Rabbinic festival besides Sukkot and Shmini Atzereth has a major historical Geulah event which has stayed with us forever since that event. Pesach- Yetziat Mitzraim, 7th day of Pesach- Splitting of YamSuf, Shavuot-Matan Torah, Rosh HaShanah- Creation of Adam and Eve and their judgement, Yom Kippur- Atonement for the primordial Sin of the Golden Calf. Chanukah and Purim for their associated miraculous redemptions.
Sukkot- The clouds of Glory reappeared but went away 39 yrs later when Aharon died. Shekhinah came down into 1st Temple but also went away when the Temple was destroyed. You get the picture.
Sukkot has always been the YomTov representing the miracles and climax of the Final Redemption that has not yet occurred, an event greater than Pesach. THIS is the crowning glory of Jewish history!
May be my Neshama is so tired that wants to go home as quickly as possible
Well Chaza"l did leave us a clue about this year. Whatever process needs to climax by Sukkot of the Motzei Shmittah either has to begin by this Pesach or must end by the following Pesach.
Mashiach ben David will only come once the entire world is forced to feel our pain. This will be a cathartic moment. It is tied to the Nekamah against the nations who have hurt us and who have consistently condemned us. By the way, Ukraine under Zelenskyy since 2019 is one of those nations. I will need to find the link, but I have seen that in approximately 21 to 25 resolutions in the UN Gen. Assembly, Ukraine under Zelenskyy has condemned Israel 17 times and has abstained in the remaining UN resolutions. How is that a cathartic resolution? Multiply that by the 140 nations who consistently condemn us and the one nation who tortured Yehonatan Pollard with Solitary confinement for 30 years, much catharsis is needed. Buckle up, and let us bear it together. Pray that Eliyahu haNavi comes before this Pesach (when Chaza"l most expect him) to tell us how to join this cathartic process and to share good tidings of Redemption and Consolation.
I was writing a Comment on a series of 138 to 9 votes to condemn Israel at the UN Gen Assembly, and my screen refreshed and my comment disappeared. But 138 for Slander 20x per year is like receiving a knife in the back 20x every year for over 70 years. Slander is far worse than Idle Gossip whose Heavenly punishment is leprosy (צרעת). Another blogger (I am looking for his post.) in 2012 pointed out that 138 is the Gematriah of Tzemach (sprout) and Menachem (Consoler), 2 of the 4 names for Mashiach given in the Talmud. The punishment for Slander x 138 x 20 x 74years is beyond our ability to comprehend. It is mind boggling. Perhaps when Eliyahu comes to console us, the nations who have condemned us that many times will be finally paying for their crime, where each false accusation x 138 nations x 20 times per year x 74 yrs has a cost that must be paid back.
I am sorry that I lost my subtler longer comment.
It was in a blog called Jewish End of Days the gematriah of 138 for both of those names, צמח and מנחם for a UN vote in Nov 2012.
It seems that the "Jewish End of Days" blog no longer exists on the Internet. So there is no link. I will need to search later on the Wayback Machine. Hmmm.
Ah, it was a Wordpress blog, not a blogspot blog.
Here is the article I remember seeing.
https://jewishendofdays.wordpress.com/?s=%D7%A6%D7%9E%D7%97&submit=Search
Four new korbanot. A man in his 60s, a mother of three, a Chabad rabbi... Out of nowhere! It was the third stabbing attack this week, but all the other previous incidents took place close to the Old City of Jerusalem or the West Bank, not in the middle of the Negev. And they weren't so deadly. Dov, do you think the Fakestinians are planning another terror campaign for this Ramadan, like they did last year?
Fabio
Amos Harel just answered my question. He thinks neither Fakestinians in Judea/Samaria nor Hamas in Gaza want another escalation. Also Israeli authorities are taking steps by both concessions and crackdowns on terror to make sure a remake of last year's Ramadan doesn't happen again, and our enemies are deterred and discouraged to initiate violence for the time being. I hope he's correct. After all, the bedouin murderer acted alone and was a supporter of ISIS, not a Balestinian group. But with these "people" you never know. I won't post a link to the article in question because it was published in the wicked dirt rag paper of Haaretz, which by the way wasn't capable of waiting even a single day before publishing an article attacking Rav Kanievsky z"l after he pased away. They have no soul. May they never leave Gehenom. Although Amos Harel is one of the few exceptions. He limits himself to write purely strategic and military analysis as far as I'm aware, not leftist or antisemitic propaganda.

In Tishrei 2019 Jerusalem had 1.5 million visitors [Jlm police report, and article in the paper]. I was one of them, it sure felt like Hakhel! Jlm has never had so many visitors at the kotel since the creation of Israel in 1948. That was somnething..

source: Harav Yekisiel Fish Parshas Ki Sisa 5782
The Steipler zt"l in his sefer Orchos Chaim chalek 1 page 296
says in the name of Harav Aharon Rota zt"l of Shomrei Emunin
that we already past the most difficult trials of Moshiach, and the end will be the Russians will rule for 9 months in Eretz Yisroel, and there will be a lack of food, but bread and potatoes there will be.
Any comments Dov?
All the best,
Ben
Ben: The Midat haDin of the 9 months according to Chaza"l was supposed to take place between Tevet and Tishrei of either the 6th and 7th year of the last Shmittah cycle ending right after Yom Kippur of the 7th or 8th year. In a leap year such as this one, the 9 months would begin right around the 10th of Shevat in order to include both Adars within it.
A major mitigating factor in this second possible scenario of "the 9 months" is that we already experienced three quarters of these 9 months in the 6th year of the previous cycle when the Baal Kerry demanded that Netanyahu and Co. release 4 rounds of 26 Arab murderers from our jails for the privilege of negotiating peace with the Fake nation. The Witch of EinDor, Tzippy Livni, was in charge of Israel's forced concessions during that 9 month process which ended just before Pesach 5774. Three of the releases of murderers from our jails proceeded on schedule. The 4th release just before Pesach never occurred. G-d's Name of gematriah 26 is clearly written on each of these releases to demonstrably show us that 3/4 of the suffering of the "9 months" has already transpired in 5773-5774, just before Pesach.
It was HaShem's way of mitigating the suffering b'Rachamim so that when the actual 9 months are upon us, we will only need to suffer travail for the last quarter of that 9 month period.
Slight correction in above: The Midat haDin of the 9 months according to Chaza"l was supposed to take place between Tevet and Tishrei of either the 6th OR the 7th year of the last Shmittah cycle ending right after Yom Kippur of the 7th OR 8th year......
So, let me ask you Dov, What you are saying is that the time frame (for sake of rachamim) was cut in piees, so to speak, rather than 9 months being completed all at once? (How is that possible?) Why would Hashem "pause" this and then continue? Why would this not be done all at once?
I do not understand that neither. How is pregnancy can be paused?
The nine months IS happening in this 7th year as opposed to last year when I originally thought it was happening, but instead of the nations or Russia sending troops to divide Yerushalayim, they are fighting over Ukraine. HaShem has simply diverted the Causus Belli from Eretz Yisrael to the Ukraine at this stage in the 9 months. So at least at this stage the focus of the travail is the nation with an area of 603,550 km squared and NOT the nation with 603,550 primordial souls.
But in this Dystopian Shmittah year, China is Magog, not the US.
In the Gog ben Gog Shmittah cycle when more than 2/3rds of Americans were still above Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah, the leader of America still represented an American leadership at the 33rd level of purity named Gog son of Gog. So I explained in the The Land of Magog, Part 1 that in that particular Shmittah cycle, the US was Magog. But the world has radically changed in 14 years. America can no longer lead the world below mem tet Shaarei Tumah since 2/3rds of Mankind is Reprobate now. Another formerly Mongol (Magog) conquered nation has taken the reins of that position from the US representing all 70 nations below Mem Tet Shaarei Tumah. סין is that nation now at this slimy cesspool end of humanity's reign over history. (HT Dovid Mark:) Notice the סי .סי is 70, and the Nun sofit is -50, representing leadership of the world when all 70 nations are at the 50th level of impurity! Yet, suddenly as the Western Edom has died, China is economically collapsing. So what will China do to try to reclaim its economic super-power status? Keep in mind that Chaza"l NEVER predicted a Malkhut Sin at the end of history. So the collapse of China in sync with the Collapse of the West was inevitable.
So the 9 months of the Baal Kerry in 5774 mitigated the final 9 months of this 7th year so that the birthpangs at the end would not be fully focused on dividing Yerushalayim! Yes, eventually near the end of these 9 months, the Nations will likely get around to bullying Israel to divide itself, but not for these full 9 months. 1/4 of 9 months would seem to make Israel the focal point of their consternation and hate for the last 2 months of these 9 months instead of for all 9 months.
So, approximately 9 weeks instead of 9 months?
And the bullying need not last even 2 months. The 9 months of the Baal Kerry ending in Pesach of 5774 demonstrated that HaShem has already filled 3 of the 4 Universes which are required for Redemption, a topic which I have frequently spoken about on this blog. Each of the first 3 releases of 26 murderers resulted in HaShem filling Atzilut, Beri'ah, and Yetzirah. So at this stage with even the slightest amount of intense pressure to divide Eretz Yisrael near the end of 5782, He could immediately "pounce" on the nations of the world making the attempt to do so by filling our Universe, the Universe of Asiyah.
9 weeks MAXIMUM of suffering in Eretz Yisrael as the Sheker of Olam HaZeh disintegrates around us.. According to the chart, Filling the 4 Universes, the Ariza"l tells us that the Filling of Asiyah in the 7th year does not begin until the 25th of Elul at the end of the year!. So our suffering MIGHT be limited to the 2 weeks between the 25th of Elul 5782 until Yom Kippur 5783! What is obvious is the attempted Conquests by Dubiel, Russia and Iran, have already begun.
So...what effect would this have on any nasty stuff like Arabs killing Jews during Nisan/Ramadan this year?
They got started early (see Fabio's comment @3/23/2022 4:11 AM.). And I don't know about you, but I don't want to see any more violence against us, never mind that going unpunished. Apparently our hero (who killed the terrorist) had his weapon taken from him, to add insult to murder.
Search Arutz-7 for articles about it. Maybe other sites also have information.
I also wrote a warning here: A warning for the next month or so — and a miracle...or two.
Shavua tov. Just to make it clear, I am referring to suffering and bullying at the hands of the nations of the world. The bullying by the Baal Kerry in 5774 seems to have mitigated their bullying during these 9 months which began either on the 10th of Shevat or Tu B'Shevat. I truly believe that aspect of things has been mitigated.
I cannot nor will I try to predict what our local Arab menace will do or will attempt to do at this time. Ramadan approaches, and they are planning something. This year after 2 Adars, Ramadan is during Nissan.
I think that death of Rav Kanievsky and other Tsaddikim already sweeted that too. I hope that Jews are suffered enough and will be no suffering anymore . We should greet our Mashiah with Mercy
Sadly, we have a govt whose only purpose for existing was to get rid of Netanyahu. Yes, we need miracles to bridge the gap between now and Sukkot 5783.
The American delegation has arrived, so the bullying continues. They will attempt to force the opening of this embassy for the fakestinians, de facto creating a fakestinian state and dividing Yerushalayim, giving part of it to them for their capital. I'm not sure how strong this medinat is to resist it since they have no emunah and believe instead that everything we need we get from America. If the US succeeds, then I believe the final months of Arab rule will not be with so much rachamim.
To be very clear, Reb Dov Bear, the nations of the world support the Pallywood-fakestinian effort financially, with weaponry, legal help and in other ways — which is why I would expect this coming month to be much better than it usually is if we're not to suffer so much during this period, due to their being deprived of the money and materials it takes to pull something like their annual Ramadan-antiJew-fest off.
Yet they even started ahead of time this year. Where are they getting it from?
Moshe and Gavriela Dvorah put it well, too. Thank you.
They get what they need from the EU and a 30 to 40% base of Leftist Jews in America. Make no mistake. Provide them no pardon, for they are our mortal enemies. Chabad Friday night dinners will not redeem them.
Political correctness is killing us...among other things, among fellow Jews in 'hutz as well as in Israel.
In the worst case scenario ch'v, we would still end up in a place that is at least a million times better ..

..a place that is at least a million times better (my last comment) THAN THE PLACE THEY WOULD END UP!
Rivka
The Vilna Gaon in his haggadah tells us something fascinating. He tells us that all the Avodah Zarot of Mitzraim were judged and destroyed except the one at the Sea named "Baal Tzefon" (the Baal of the North. And only at the end of days, after consuming the צפון or the Afikomen, at the end of the Mashiach ben Yosef period of history, will this Avodah Zarah be destroyed. According to the Gaon, it is this idol that has a face of a dog. The Face of the dog idol seems to be the primary tool of the Erev Rav to destroy us from within. It is the incessent never ending need to be loved by most of the world. They sell their souls for this Avodah Zarah. They viciously attack their fellow Jews for this Idol. Jews worshiping this idol often become very dangerous people, spreading slander about Jews in Israel to benefit their own personal popularity. Invariably they become Level 1 Malshinim and Kapos, and therefore they should be cursed and shunned. There is no place at a kiruv dinner at a local Chabad House for such people. At least there should not be. They destroy themselves and others that get in their wake. They are worse than those Danites who worshiped Pessel Michah in ancient times because they only caused spiritual damage to themselves without destroying the reputation of others. The real question is what percentage of Israeli Jews suffer from this Avodah Zarah, and what percentage of American Jews suffer from the same? I firmly believe that up to 50% of American Jews at this time have descended to this level of the gutter, and as Mashiach is coming, they will be left to total destruction. I also believe that the number percentages in Eretz Yisrael are more like 25%, and they will be given one last chance to repent as people like Yair Lapid are forced to shrivel before the encroaching Haman from Iran, at which point all the admiration that he receives from Jews for Biden and Western European Amaleqites in Brussels will mean absolutely nothing. Until then, stay away from such people. Their Avodah Zarah is dangerous and leads to the shedding of holy Jewish blood.
I think it's time we brought back the late, great Rav Marvin Antelman. He had a lot to say about such ovdei avodah zarah.
Did he also write a book called Bechor Satan?
Absolutely right, Dov Ber. The Torah tells us that 'within your midst will come your very worst enemies' and that is, of course, the Erev Rav! There are five types of Erev Rav and the worst of them are the Erev Rav Amaleikim, who are usually the leaders everywhere, where they have the greatest influences in world events. That's why the uninformed and Jew haters like to bring up names like 'Soros', etc. and the ignorant start shouting that those who bring out the truth about these evil ones, are anti-semites. This is because they are ignoramuses. It must be made clear to the 'world', that these so-called 'jews' are NOT Jews, but the reincarnations of the souls of the ancient Egyptians who tagged along with the Jews at the Exodus. They were totally insincere but Moshe Rabbeinu allowed these wretched ones to come along anyway, even when Hashem told him that they were 'insincere', but this is how Hashem allowed history to play out. Some of the other types of erev rav will be able to do teshuvah; but these who are erev rav amaleikim cannot do teshuvah. They will have the same fate as all of the other amaleikim in the world. They have been the the thorns in our sides for millenia. May H' have Rachamim and may we see our Salvation very soon, as Reb Dov explains.

Dov Ber have you seen what Putin has done? Ruble is now set to gold, is the dollar & euro doomed like Putin claims?
Mein Gott, Mariupol along Ukraine's southeastern coast, has ceased to exist! Putin now has his Russian land bridge to the Crimea. Bodies are piled up in the Streets! And the Western media still talks about Ukraine winning the War!
Yes, Glenn but even worse for America, by June Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain will be pricing their oil in Yuan. The petro-dollar will be dead.
In the meantime (to be discussed later at length) an earthquake in the field of archeology has occurred, potentially the most important archeological find in history:
Dr. Scott Stripling found this Curse tablet in the discard pile from when Adam Zertal unearthed Joshua's altar in the early 1980s.
https://youtu.be/YDq8_vVm9GA
This 2 cm squared folded lead tile may be one of the greatest archeaological finds in history. Precisely From the time of the Curses being pronounced about Mt Eival in the Late Bronze Age: The actual text on the folded lead tablet in Hebrew:
"Cursed, Cursed, Cursed, Cursed by the G-d Y-H-W, You will die Cursed. Cursed, you will surely die. Cursed by Y-H-W, Cursed, Cursed, Cursed."
This was found in the dump pile on Mt. Eival. Stripling went back and wet-sifted the garbage or dump pile from Zertal's excavation in the early 1980s. In the 80s, wet sifting was not standard practice.
Dr. Stripling's Press Conference in total: The word for curse here that is written 10 times is of course, ארור. All I can say is WOW.
Scott Stripling's entire news conference:
https://youtu.be/qrWTCgQZ_eA
Keep in mind, that in Chap 19 of Sefer Iyov, Iyov himself writes that he recorded words of his book on a lead tablet with an iron stylus. Sefer Iyov was written about 40 years BEFORE the Torah was given at Har Sinai.
The Hebrew cursive script on the tablet corresponds to the cursive script that was used at the time of the Exodus. It is from Mt. Eival where 12 curses were pronounced against that mountain and 6 of the tribes that stood on the mountain according to the Command of Moshe Rabbeinu to Yehoshua bin Nun in Deut 27. Upon winning the 2nd battle of Ai in Yehoshua 8, Yehoshua carried out Moshe's instruction.
Deut 27, first 4 curses:

Sorry, 1st 6 curses above
I want to emphasize the word that I used POTENTIALLY the most important archeological finds in history. The peer review studies need to be done. I see a couple problems with this find
1. The Name Y-H-W is missing the Final Hey.
2. The proto-Sinaic cursive Hebrew writing may be from left to right. I will need to check that.
3. The Curses in Devarim are in the 3rd person form ארור, not in the 2nd person form passive voice, "You will be cursed", or "you will die cursed". So I will wait until the final report in August.
Usually when the name Yud Key Vav is missing the final Hey it is within someone's name or attached as a suffix to his name. Yud Key does stand alone sometimes as a Name of HaShem, but Yud Key Vav is usually part of someone's name, usually as a suffix. So these are some of my questions.
Everything that happens is Hashem talking to us, right?
בניסן נגאלו ובניסן עתידין להיגאל
Today I took a taxi (I was going to take a different one, but the driver was smoking, so I went to the one behind) .... and this:
The driver's name is Nisan Goali ניסן גואלי
I asked him if that was the name his parents took on making aliya, but no it has been the family name for generations.
He was born on Rosh Hodesh Nisan, which is why they called him Nisan and his native language is Aramaic, so it was easy for him to learn gemara.
I felt like I just received bsorot tovot from Eliyau Hanavi just before RH Nisan. Be"D.
LL
Is Nisan Goali, or his parents, from Nineveh Province in Iraq?
He said they are Kurdi and Iranian. Is part of Kurdistan in Iraq? Sorry, shakey geography here. He gave me his business card, so I can find out.
LL
Yes, Nineveh Province in Iraq, I believe, is Kurdish controlled and might be the the place in the world with the highest percentage of Aramaic speakers. But there are other places in unofficial Kurdistan which also speak Aramaic as the native tongue.
Should we be buying Rubles?
You should be checking your Mezuzot. All of these temporal things will be withering in a few months.
Bennett's lies from about 5 years ago that 95% of Israeli Arab citizens are good human beings will come back to destroy him. I pray that no other holy Jew need suffer because of his lies, lies which he told to raise money amongst modern Orthodox Jews in America who would never support anyone who would not tell that lie. The consequences of course are that 70% of our distant half-brother's nation need to leave precisely because they are not decent human beings. They need to be placed on leaky boats in the Red Sea where they can swim to either Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Those are the ones who celebrate when Jews are murdered. The murderers themselves need to be thrown off a cliff. On this issue, Kahane was 70% correct. There are righteous Arabs in this country. They are a distinct minority though. Time to recognize this ancient truth, that Yishmael likes to shoot arrows at Yitzchak for Sport.
Not to mention, but didn't the Torah command us to evacuate the enemy from the land? Why isn't the land spitting out this heretical government yet?
We had a stone throwing Intifada.
Then a suicide bomb one.
The a stabafada.
Now it is guns.
There appears to be overlap between the Arab criminal families who run protection rackets, with these weapons which are now in the hands of Isis/Daesh supporting Arabs within Israel.
They are attacking less obvious targets than Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
They are striking at the regular people of Israel, religious and secular alike.
They have killed Jew and Arab, Druze and Notzirim.
It is blood lust.
If this continues then Bennett will have such a job keeping his coalition together.
No coincidence this comes around the time of the Foreign minister conference in the Negev, and the lead up to Ramadan.
at least to some extent, we are seeing some Arab countries working with Israel.
It is not much more than an anti-Iran alliance, some trade agreements, and some medical cooperation, but it hints at Ishmael repenting when Mashiach comes.
They're going into "soft" areas, where they know there is less likelihood of someone defending themselves, i.e., no private guns in the hands of the citizens. Places like Bne Brak are soft targets. I lay the blame squarely at the feet of Blinken, who should be charged with incitement, since it is his words that have given strength to the terrorists. But, of course, everything is from Shamayim, and those with no emunah will have pakad and that too is an atonement. As for the "big whoop in the desert," it really is a bunch of nothing. Cooperation between Israel and the Gulf states has been going on for many years. Israelis travel there all the time, but not so openly. What has changed is that everything is more in the open now. When they stop talking about a fakestinian state and dividing Yerushalayim, then I will be ready to celebrate. I would prefer the US keep their noses out of it. Why did Blinken need to be a part? Because America is trying to conquer the world, Eisav is trying to rule the planet. We lost our Tzaddik, our living, walking beit HaMikdash, and now we see what happens and will happen.
IN THE MEANTIME
“Russia’s Putin declares an end to Western currencies, says world moving towards “real reserves” including “land, food, gold””
“ And many countries in the immediate future may begin […] to convert their paper and digital assets into raw reserves of raw materials” such as “land, food, gold, and other real assets.”
“ The future of MONEY pivots this Friday as Putin sets deadline for dropping the dollar, requiring rubles for energy exports”
“ Regardless of what you think about Putin’s morals or ethics, he is a genius strategist whose intellect is vastly superior to Joe Biden’s. Putin latest move threatens the very future of the dollar (fiat) currency and may spell the beginning of the end for the dollar. Beginning this Friday, Russia will only accept rubles, gold or bitcoin as payment for energy exports to “unfriendly” countries. No dollars or euros will be accepted. And why should Putin accept dollars or euros anyway, given that the western financial system has told Putin he can no longer use dollars or euros to purchase anything.” https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-03-29-putin-sets-deadline-for-dropping-the-dollar-requiring-rubles-for-energy.html
UNTIL WE ARE LEFT WITH NOT EVEN A PRUTA IN OUR POCKET:
THIS IS UNDOING THE FIAT CURRENCY (as we expect)
If one does not want to be controlled by your BANK DIGITAL WALLET “control” system, that they can turn off at any time, drop credit cards, or at least down to only one, and start using only cash. If you are able, buy silver, copper, or gold for backup.
Gavriela: I believe it is more likely that Blinken wanted participants, the ME Arab/Yishmaelites, to know the US supports/pushes for a Pales. State [on our Homeland (that the JB Gang) does not recognize]. Blinken and the disgraceful Ambassador are/were very vocal in their antisemitic slurs about ’settlers’. To his credit, Aryeh King lambasted Blinken and blamed him for the “terror”. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/jerusalem-s-deputy-mayor-scolds-blinken-you-re-not-welcome-here-1.10704111
Emunah indicates that things will get much much more dangerous to cause the Children of Hashem to cry out like they did in Mitzrayim, in order for the Geulah to splash onto the entire world. Rabbi Mendel Kessin explains in his recent shiur some very interesting and unique observations about why we benefited from Rabbi Kanievsky, his unique learning style, and the Rabbi’s thoughts why Hashem gave us this “complete Gadol HaTorah Achronah". I’m sure you have not heard this or read this anywhere in the media coverage of the Gadol’s passing. https://habayitah.blogspot.com/2022/03/rabbi-kessin-rav-chaim-kanievsky-ztl.html

Just wanted to reply to Dov Ber's comment of 3/29 @10:05.
Kahane was absolutely right. 100% should have been expelled.
Look at what our people have suffered, besides having the insane
leftist leaderships which allowed for all the shmutz.
Allowing that shmutz is probably the pere adams' purpose for
being in EY, to be the whip. The Jews better make teshuvah;
otherwise, the pere adam will still be there to be the 'whip'.
But Jews don't learn easily, r'l.
There must be a cleansing of the Land in every respect.
If we want Moshiach to come b'rachamim, then we better wake up.
