In remembrance

THE RETURN OF OUR SOLDIERS

Ehud (Udi) Goldwasser (Ehud Ben Malka Goldwasser)

Eldad Regev of Kiryat Motzkin

May Hashem avenge the blood of Eldad and Ehud, and may their holy martyred souls rest in eternal peace.

MAY THEIR MEMORIES BE FOR A BLESSING AND MAY THEIR FAMILIES BE COMFORTED WITH ALL THE MOURNERS IN ZION AND IN JERUSALEM.

May Hashem bring Shalom to the Goldwasswer and Regev families and heal their broken hearts, and the hearts of all Israel.

O G-d of vengeance, Hashem; O G-d of vengeance, appear! Arise, O Judge of the earth, render recompense to the arrogant. Until when will the evil, O Hashem, until when will the evil exult?…with their own evil, He will strike them down; Hashem our G-d will strike them down!
Psalm 94

A prudent man foresees the evil that is coming!

By Aryeh ben Abraham

The collective perspective on the news, has been occupying my thoughts considerably, and I believe I have a responsibility to pass it on to you, my beloved brethren.

Eretz Yisrael is facing the very likely probability of its most dangerous war yet. And by all counts, it will be sooner rather than later.

And it won’t be just Eretz Yisrael’s problem. It will touch our life in ways we can imagine and in ways we don’t want to imagine, though we live miles and oceans away from the Middle East.

Frankly speaking, we abroad (Diaspora) and those of you in Yisrael – MUST take heed of the biblical warning:

A prudent man foresees the evil that is coming, and prepares himself; but the foolish carry on, and suffer from it.

Proverbs 22:3

Our mounting concern for what we see and feel is coming for Yisrael demands that we prepare, lest we fall into the category of the “foolish” described in the proverb quoted above.

Frankly speaking, Eretz Yisrael needs our support NOW.

Hizbollah’s greatly enlarged arsenal sits on Eretz Yisrael’s northern border. Hamas routinely sends their operatives for training in Iran and Syria and the smuggling of arms and machinery continues despite what you read in certain media.

According to experts in the field, Iran already has access to nuclear warheads, as do other Arab nations.

So therefor beloved brethren, please start praying with “Kavana” in order to soften any harsh decree against Eretz Yisrael.

As our beloved Rabbi Lazer Brody states, it’s not with weapons, latest model jet’s or weapons that we are going to overcome our enemies, but with earnest PRAYER.

Hashem is only requesting that we have Emunah, Pray and let Him take care of the situation.

By no means must/can we put our trust in this anti-Torah, anti_Emunah, Zionist Government, they are absolutely lost and don’t have the faintest idea as to what to do; from the news you can clearly see that they are going from one mistake to another.

Hashem is our One and Only Saviour, so stop looking around and start praying, studying Torah, doing Mitzvots, don’t wait until tomorrow, then it might be to late.

If you want to wake up to another day, see your kids grow up, then please start PRAYING, return to Hashem, the Gates of Forgiveness are wide open for you. Tomorrow, may just be too late.

Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily has posted an article that addresses beautifully the issue of dividing the Land of Israel, the subject of present negotiations between Olmert and Abbas.

Entitled “Solomonic Wisdom and Dividing the Land”, Farah makes the case biblically from a perspective I’ve not heard from anyone else about the present struggle over the Land.

Take a look – I think you’ll enjoy the article. It’s not long but gets to the point!

Solomonic Wisdom and the Land

Following are some excerpts of the article written by Joseph Farah, founder, editor and CEO of WND, entitled “Solomonic wisdom and dividing of Israel“, which makes one ponder.

There is a Bible story familiar to practically everyone that relates directly to efforts by the international community to divide Israel for the purpose of creating a Palestinian state.

It can be found in 1 Kings 3.

The young king Solomon dreams of a conversation with the Lord in which he asks for wisdom to judge God’s people. God grants the desires of Solomon’s heart as well as bestowing upon him a long life, great riches and honor.

Immediately after Solomon claims this promise with sacrifices, peace offerings and a feast to all his servants, he gets to judge the most famous case of his life.

Two harlots come before him – each claiming a baby as their own.

That’s the story everyone knows. But is there special meaning for today in these words? Could this story relate directly to the two-state solution being planned by the internationalist busybodies who seek to split Israel in half? Is it possible that this familiar old Bible story actually contains a prophecy yet to be fulfilled?

Please pray for Rabbi Nati!

Rabb Nati, is now under the threat of Administrative detention.

What has Rabbi Nati done, in order for this terrible threat to be pending over him?

As far as I can see and know, Rabbi Nati is wanting the Geulah! Yes, that Moshiach come now.

This, the Israeli Governmant considers, is a revolution in their eyes, dangerous for world or national order.

Just in case you didn’t know, the Israel Internal Security Service, the Shabak, has been interrogating Rabbi Nati nightly, all night, every night, ALL WEEK, on the revolution that Breslov and the Tzaddik of Meah Shearim are setting up. The one called Moshiach and the other Geulah.

It appears that they are in the process of trying to set up the Tzadik HaRav Shalom Arush, shlita and his followers as right wing religious zealots who want turn over the world, or at least the Israeli government.

Now then, what have Rabi Nati and the Tzadik HaRav Shalom Arush, shlita and his followers, been doing for them to be considered by the Isralei Government as a menace to the Israeli Government. As far as I know and everyone in Eretz Yisrael knows, there only doings have been requesting Klal Yisrael to pray, do hisbodedut, tikun chazot and study Torah. And why? Beacause of the impending dangers that Eretz Yisrael is facing, such as the Iranian threat to wipe Eretz Yisrael out of the face of world, the latent menace of Hizballah, the constant attacks of Kassam rockets from Hamas, and the division of our Holy City Jerusalem.

So as you can see, there is absolutely nothing wrong or agaist Torah, or the Israeli Government, in what they are doing.

Well from what we are seeing in the news, it’s more than apparent that this anti-Torah, anti-Emunah government is living its last hours, and as you can see, neither did Rabbi Nati or the Tzadik HaRav Shalom Arush, shlita, have anything whatsoever to do with it.

Brethren let’s all unite in prayer, that Hashem protect Rabbi Nati and the Tzadik HaRav Shalom Arush, shlita and his followers, against those evil forces that want to shut them up and harm them, Heaven forbid.

Template for non-Emuna Falafel Republic

Following excerpts from “Template for non-Emuna Falafel Republic“, from Rabbi Lazer Brody’s blog:

A Felafel Republic is similar to a banana republic, but whereas the latter is in South America, the former is in the Middle East.

Here’s how to make a Falafel Republic:

1. Tell people you’re a democracy for PR purposes, but let an arrogant elitist leftist oligarchy run the show behind the scenes.

2. Be as corrupt as you can. If you’re caught, simply appease the oligarchy, build more sidewalk cafes and gay bars, and give territories to the enemies in exchange for 6 months of undisturbed expresso drinking with croissants and butter.

3. Throw idealistic youth in jail.

Kinneret Very Low

Kinneret Very Low, reprinted with the kind permission of:

The recent heat wave and scanty rainfall this past winter have combined to create a dangerously low water level in Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).

This winter’s rains raised the level by a total of only 60 centimeters (24 inches) – and 25 percent of that gain has already been lost because of the intense heat. During Pesach, for example, it reached 109F in the area of the Galilee.

This is the fourth straight year that there has been a less than average rainfall in the country, leaving the underground aquifers throughout the country in worse shape than they have been for more than a decade. Officials say the Kinneret is at its lowest in 46 years – since 1962. Israelis may well face water rationing this summer.

My Comment:

The Shema,: (lit. “hear”); the daily declaration of faith, recited in the morning and evening prayers and before retiring for the night.

The second passage is from Deuteronomy 11:13-21, beginning with the word “v’haya.” It declares the Jews‘ acceptance of the commandments and their undertaking to carry out the commandments as evidence of their loyalty to G_d. It talks of the fundamental principle in Jewish belief of reward and punishment that is based on the fulfillment of G_d’s commandments.

Devarim – Deuteronomy

Chapter 11

    13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love HaShem your G-d, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

    14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

    15 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.

   16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

    17 and the anger of HaShem be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not yield her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which HaShem giveth you.

From the above verses, that we recite four times a day, it’s quite clear why there have been no rains in Eretz Yisrael.

My beloved brethren, I beg that we all return to our ONE and only G_d in Teshuvah, and start praying that all those harsh decrees against us be forgiven.

“That female is our child’s murderer”

Dedicated to the memory of Malka Chana Roth Z”L 1985-2001

Following are excerpts of “That female is our child’s murderer“
by Ted Belman of Israpundit – THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION

The New York Times carries a review of a film called ‘Hot House’ that goes inside Israeli prisons and examines the lives of Palestinian prisoners. We’re not recommending the film or the review ..But we do want to share our feelings with you about the beaming female face that adorns the article.

That female is our child’s murderer. She was sentenced to sixteen life sentences or 320 years which she is serving in an Israeli jail. Fifteen people were killed and more than a hundred maimed and injured by the actions of this “attractive” person and her associates.

Her name was Malka. Visit her website so that she not be forgotten.

Can Israel Resist US Pressure?

Following are excerpts of “Can Israel Resist US Pressure?“
by Ted Belman of Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com

The US has made Israel dependent on it.

Recently, we hear that Ehud Olmert offered to cede the Golan Heights to Syria, and I commented that the Golan is safe for now. For now; but ultimately the US will be pressuring Israel to do the deal. As Ami Isseroff points out in “Territorial Integrity: American Middle East policy and what it means for Israel“, it has always been US policy to force Israel to trade land for peace.

To accomplish its goals, the US has made Israel dependent on it for military supply and diplomatic support, in order to gain influence on Israel. Recently, in keeping with this policy, Rice advised Israel that the US would not send extra supplies to Israel, but would keep them in the US.

There are two factors that remain obstacles to US plans, however. The determination of most Israelis to not cede all the land demanded or to divide Jerusalem is one. The other is the Arab rejectionist camp of Iran, Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas – which reject peace with Israel.

President Peres Visits with Chief Rabbis, and with Rabbi Ovadia

The following are excerpts of “President Peres Visits with Chief Rabbis, and with Rabbi Ovadia” from “Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com“, which I think might be of interest.

20 Nissan 5768, April 25, ‘08

By Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

(IsraelNN.com) President Shimon Peres spent much of the day Thursday meeting with Israel’s chief rabbis, Rabbi Yona Metzger and Rabbi Shlomo Amar, as well as with the spiritual leader of the Shas party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

Peres and the rabbis discussed the issues of integrating hareidi-religious men in the workforce, the need for greater unity among Jews, efforts to collect original scholarly Jewish books from around the globe, and the fate of Jewish security prisoners. The latter issue was raised by Rabbi Yosef after the rabbi’s earlier meeting with families of the incarcerated Jews, who congratulated him on his efforts on behalf of their imprisoned loved ones. The families asked the rabbi to influence Peres to pardon their loved ones in honor of Independence Day.

Finding Unity in a Common ‘Jewish Bookshelf’
President Peres also discussed with Rabbi Yosef, and later with Rabbi Metzger and Rabbi Amar, three central initiatives he is undertaking related to the religious sector, the Jewish character of Israel and Jewish unity.

We Interrupt

by Akiva at Mystical Paths

We are once again beginning to hear DIRE warnings of HUMANITARIAN DISASTER in Hamasistan (aka Gaza). The horror of the Jews once again cutting off fuel supplies is being pronounced to the world.

1 week ago, Hamas barbarian murderers infiltrated the Israel-Gaza fuel depot transfer station and murdered the supply technicians! Surprise, when you murder the guys who pump your gas, you may have a problem getting it afterwards.

The gas station is closed, who’s going to work pumping gas when you might get murdered any minute? BTW, they ALSO attacked the FOOD transfer station, but ONLY INJURED 6 soldiers, so that one is still open.

My friends, when you hear the world news media begin to spout against Israel and the poor Palestinian humanitarian disaster this time, YOU MUST respond to the absolutely falsity. THEY manufactured the problem. Let them manufacture the solution.
