There is a Tachlit (Purpose) for the Previous Post

For those who think that the previous post is all about relieving frustration and sowing dissent, you are wrong! Now that the problem has been uncovered, I welcome suggestions about how to heal these wounds. There is no time to wait for Gedolim to heal these wounds. Time is of the essence. Everyone needs to be a Kanai (a zealot) with their own ideas. Ideas about implementation are also welcome. I personally have no idea about getting Gedolim to implement things that should have been implemented a long time ago. I am as of this writing composing a list of five or six things that can be done to at least start the process of repair before, G-d forbid, Gog W. comes to divide Yerushalayim and uproot everything in his path.

1. Any Jew who cares about his eternal soul should IMMEDIATELY leave this government. It is worse than disgusting to be even remotely associated with these animals. Rav Eliyashiv left last month with his two seats. Unless someone knows differently apparently the other half of UTJ with three seats is for some strange reason still in this government.

2. An apology should go forth from anyone who joined this government to the Tzaddikim of Gaza and to the good people of Ofakim, Netivot, Sederot, Kfar Maimon, and southern Ashkelon and any other city in the southwestern Negev for supporting the furtherance of this atrocity.

3. An explanation should accompany the apology of anyone who joined this government that the leaders of UTJ are ashamed that they did not inform their followers in Israel and throughout the world that they never supported this vile act and that they are sorry that they did not dedicate all learning, davening, and mitzvot observance to saving the Jews of Gaza and, G-d forbid as of this writing, Jews of the Northern Shomron from being separated from their life's possessions. "We are sorry that we did not inform you that our joining this government was in no way an indication that we supported this atrocity. We just wanted to save our schools and yeshivot from Tommy Lapid's tyrannical intrusions. We were wrong to join in January. Waiting three months for elections would have been a better choice. All learning, from this point on should be dedicated to stopping this B'chol Me'odecha (life's possessions) carnage."

4. American Jews in particular should be told by these Gedolim: "It is time to get off your fanny and start flooding the White House switchboard that enough is enough. Gog, you are not G-d. You cannot fashion a new Middle East. We could give a hoot about our pet legislation that is sitting on your desk for your signature. We (Orthodox Jewish Organizations) helped get you elected. We do not need to kiss your royal White House ring. We are disgusted at your pressure to bully families out of their homes just to please your oil rich friends in the Arab World. Keeping the price of oil below $100 / barrel is important, but Gog, JEWS ARE NOT YOUR GUINEA PIGS FOR MAINTAINING THE WEALTH AND PROSPERITY OF YOUR DYING CIVILIZATION! GOG, ARE YOUR IDEAS WORKING IN IRAQ? ARE THEY PREVENTING PERSIA (IRAN) FROM BUILDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS? WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN WITH YOUR OWN SHIP!" Some alternative of the previous script can be adopted. Again how to get the Gedolim to implement this requires creative thinking on your part. After making this phone call to show Gog W. that you are more afraid of G-d than Gog, get down to davening, tehillim, Perek Shira, and teshuva for sitting on your fannies for the last year. (Of course this teshuva only applies to those who sat on their fanny this past year and did nothing to stop the atrocity.)

5. The National Religious in Israel are not blameless either. Joining the government in 2002 that was going to be formed without them anyway was one matter and understandable, for a purely secular government with no religious Jews would have been formed without NRP (National Religious Party). Joining in any of Tommy Lapid's destructive tactics against the survival of Yeshivot and religious schools was despicable in anyway that this occurred. NRP should have acted as the yeshiva world's twin brother in fighting this bully of destruction especially on the issue of protecting the yeshiva world from going into bankrupcy. A realization that when 1000 Jews go to war that 1000 remain behind learning full time and vice versa would have been an important motto in any pact between the Religious Zionist and Bnai Yeshivot. An apology is mandatory from whatever is left of NRP, IMMEDIATELY.

Any other ideas on international Jewish Teshuva are welcome at this time. If anyone has an idea on how to convince the gedolim who can make the difference (including Rav Eliyashiv and the Gerrer Rebbe), please let us know! If you want to be the focal point for petitions and letter writing, let us do so now. The clock is at 11:59 and ticking. I am not the expert at organizing massive drives. If someone else who is wants to help take on this load, please let me know.

Now I must end with a joke, for some humor which stresses the danger we are in is required at this time. I heard this from Rav that many may know, but I must first get his permission to use his name in association with this joke. I changed this slightly to reflect the proper final dispensation of "Slick Willy". Al Gore, "Slick Willy" Clinton, and Gog W. Bush were traveling on Air Force One when it crashes with no survivors. They go up to Shamayim (heaven) for their Day of Judgment. G-d, in His Infinite mercy, grants them all one final plea before He pronounces sentence. Al Gore steps forward first and says, "I believed until my death that I won the year 2000 presidential election. Only now in the World of Truth do I see that even though I thought that I won, I really lost. And now I also know why. Please forgive me for insisting that I won. G-d says, "Insisting that you won when you lost is not a grave sin. Besides you have lead a basically moral life with your wife Tipper. Your public support for abortion even though you never did one yourself has created some distance between you and me, though. Yet come here and sit some distance from my Left Hand." Al Gore goes and takes his seat. Slick Willy steps forward and begins to speak. "I know that I lead a pretty wretched sleezy life. Besides cheating on my wife and having my way with women against their will, I gave American missile technology to the Chinese communists in exchange for campaign contributions. I pardoned some pretty sleezy people the last night that I was President in order that they would not implicate me in illegal investment activities when I was running for Governor of Arkansas. I stole the White House silverware before leaving the White House. But I am sorry now. Can I sit by your Right Hand? G-d roars, "Teshuva must be done before you die, not when you show up here." Follow that guy with the red horns and the pitchfork through the door on the left please. Then Gog W. steps forward. G-d says, "Yes, Gog W. What would you like to say in your defense." Says Gog W. Bush, "I believe you are sitting in my seat."

A proper article about the wierdest and closest election in human history, the Year 2000 presidential election will if G-d permits be my next post. The striking proximities of the events of the recount after recount of that election in three Florida beach counties with the Torah portions of the week during the recounts is much more than coincidental.
