 ChaBaD Jewish Calendar Tuesday, March 7, 2023 14 Adar, 5783

Purim
Jewish History
Moses' Brit (1393 BCE)

Moses was born on the 7th of Adar of the year 2368 from creation (1393 BCE); accordingly, Adar 14 was the 8th day of his life and the day on which he was circumcised in accordance with the Divine command to Abraham.

Purim Victory Celebrated (356 BCE)

The festival of Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman's plot "to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day."

The events of Purim extended over a period of several years, culminating in the victory celebrations of Adar 14-15 of 356 BCE. Below is a timeline of the major events. For the detailed story, see the Book of Esther and The Story of Purim

Conclusion of First Gulf War (1991)

On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein occupied Kuwait. After five weeks of heavy fighting, coalition forces succeeded in liberating Kuwait, and a ceasefire was declared on February 28, 1991, corresponding to the holiday of Purim.

Despite threats from Saddam to bombard Israel with chemical warheads, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, R. Menachem Mendel Schneerson, stated unequivocally that “the Land of Israel is the safest place in the world,” and predicted that the war would be over by Purim.

Daily Thought
Beautifully Absurd

The world is absurd. Ugly absurd.

To repair ugly absurdity, you can’t just be normal. You need an alternative absurdity. A beautiful absurdity.

We call it “divine madness.”

Free to study all Jewish Scripture:

  • Sefaria Calendar



    Our Prayer and hope: All the gates to the Har ha-Bait have to be opened for Jews and non-Jews seven days in the week 24 hours a day. The Jews need to have the freedom to go with Tefillin, Tallit and Torah Scroll up on the Mountain to serve Hashem. And do קידה ('Kidah' prostate, laying down, before Hashem) Everyone showing his/her respect for the Jewish and all other religions. But NOT for the words/deeds/sins spoken against any word of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu and the 'real' teachings of the Jewish Rabbis. The Jews must be the guardians of the Har ha-Bait.
    תפילתנו ותקוותנו: כל שערי הר הבית צריכים להיפתח עבור יהודים ולא-יהודים שבעה ימים בשבוע 24 שעות ביממה. ליהודים צריך להיות חופש ללכת עם תפילין, טלית וספר תורה במעלה ההר כדי לשרת את ה' ולקוד קידה .מתוך הפגנת כבוד ליהודים ולכל הדתות האחרות, אבל לא למילים/למעשים/לחטאים הנאמרים נגד תורת משה רבנו. מלמודי רבנים, היהודים חייבים להיות שומרי הר הבית.

I am not always in agreement with a contributor as long he/she doesn't 'preach' Avoda Zara or Lashon Hare he/she is most welcome to tell what he/she likes to tell. This blog is devoted to The Lost Sheep from the House of Israel. To give them information on how to come back. And how to come to the choice again: Exo 24:7 And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that Adonai has spoken we shall do, and obey.”  On the Har HaBait. And developing their own identity as real Ephraimites, restoring their Kingdom...... Near, as a defensive shield, in friendship and Love to the Jewish State of Israel. Filled with the CheSeD from HaShem streaming from Ephraim to Yehudah and from Yehudah to Ephraim until the end of the earth.

 The goal of the group's for Jewish Independency on the Har HaBait The goal of the group's: Har HaBait for Jewish Sovereignty, with the help of Ephraim. On Facebook. And the group on the website: https://harhabaitjewishsovereignforallisrael.blogspot.com/ Are devoted to The Lost Sheep from the House of Israel. To give them information on how to come back...... The most necessary step, most important, is to come to the choice again: Exo 24:7 And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that Adonai has spoken we shall do, and obey.”  Today there is no better place to come to that choice, and that is: On Har HaBait. And developing your own identity as real Ephraimites, by strong and good Torah study. See:  https://harhabaitjewishsovereignforallisrael.blogspot.com/p/torah-study.html  For to receive your place in the (coming) Kingdom of Messiah outside the modern state of Israel. The closer you come to that is by looking...

Yahuda101 History of the Modern state of Israel

  History of the Modern state of Israel By Yahuda101 Timeline Key moments in the Jewish state's history. 1882-1903: First Aliyah The First Aliyah brings an estimated 25,000-35,000 immigrants to Palestine, the majority of them fleeing anti-Jewish pogroms in Eastern Europe. The influx of immigrants into the Land of Israel during the years 1882-1903 is known as “The First Aliyah.” This was the first large wave of immigrants that were motivated by nationalism. During these years some 25,000 Jews emigrated from Russia and Rumania, and 2,500 arrived from Yemen.   Primary Motivations  Immigrants of the First Aliyah arrived in two waves, stimulated by pogroms and violence against the Jews.  The first influx followed pogroms in Russia in 1881-1882, and the second mass influx from Russia took place during 1890-1891 as a result of anti-Jewish legislation and the expulsion of Jews from Moscow.  Immigration from Yemen was primarily motivated by messianic expectations.  ...

Julius I ask

 Julius I ask I ask By Julius I ask, what's the difference between a court put in place by a few, and a tyrant? What is the difference between a Prime Minister elected by a nation, and a court put in place by a few? A Democracy is governed by a Prime Minister that is elected by the nation, not by a court put in place by a few. A government that rules by a court is a Kritarchy! The government of Israel tries to be inclusive and include all walks of life within Israel regardless of religion, even though Israel is supposed to be a Jewish nation. This would be a good thing if the people who are voted into office truly loved Israel, appears that some don't! Many of the left wing owe allegiance to those who wish to eradicate Israel off the map and kill all Jews. Not just in Israel, but worldwide! This Jew says good luck with that! WON’T HAPPEN! It appears that many within the court hates Israel, and tries to do everything they can to cause the collapse of Israel from within...
