We failed! We didn't throw of the Mountain: Amalek's descendants and their Israeli friends!
Today's Israeli Government has to go! And never to come back!
We are in need of an Elohim fearing Government.

Together, Yehuda and Ephraim, we dedicate our learning in memory of the lives lost, and with prayers for the safe return of those held captive and for everyone affected by the ongoing violence in Israel. Everyday soldiers die. Please Pray that we stop the 'old politic' game and that the fighting goes on until all Eretz Yisrael is Jewish Sovereign and all terrorists are dead in and around Eretz Yisrael! Eretz Yisrael completely liberated.....! Then let us start to Pray and to talk about a new government system in Eretz Yisrael! That every Jew and non-Jew has to accept and respect Jewish Law. Voting's yes, but a new high Court system, a Sanhedrin, the Great Sanhedrin and the smaller Sanhedrin’s...... Jewish Law in all Eretz Yisrael.

HOW TO FOOL THE SECRET POLICE

 

The year 5687 (1927) marked a stormy period in the fight between communism and Judaism in the USSR. The men of the Yevisekziya (Jewish division of the NKVD [1]) were trying desperately to snuff out the flame of Yiddishkeit. One of the ways they used to catch their fish was through planting undercover agents everywhere to be informers, bringing terror into the hearts of the people.

In the city of Kuta'isi Georgia, [2] which was then a Soviet republic, there lived a young man who was among the best students in the recently established ‘Tomchei T'mimim’ Chabad yeshiva. He worked as a chazan (cantor) in a Sefardic synagogue and was known as a "Chacham” (‘scholar’). After the government closed the yeshiva, he taught children in secret, keenly aware that such behavior would be putting his life in danger.

Indeed, it wasn't long until he received the dreaded order to appear at the offices of the NKVD. He was interrogated cruelly but after much useless questioning the interrogator asked him bluntly, "Who pays you for teaching the children?"

Without becoming flustered, he responded, "What children? What pay? Who's interested in having their children taught?"

"If so," retorted the interrogator, "why do you visit specific houses daily – if not to teach children?"

"People call me to remove an ayin harah (evil eye)."

The interrogator burst into laughter. "Are you at least successful in this work?"

"You can't know," replied the chasid. "Each case in unique. They pay me, and they ask me to come again. Why should I care if they think it works?"

Having prepared himself for this, he continued playing dumb as well as being very cautious. The interrogators wouldn't relent, and continued barraging him with questions trying to pry out a confession. However, the chasid soon proved too resistant for them, and they commanded him to leave the room while they discuss his case.

Continuing to play dumb, he headed straight for the exit of the building. The armed guard stepped in and stopped him, asking him where he was going.

"I was told to go," the chasid said simply.

The guard, certain that no one could leave an interrogation without permission, let him go.

Aware that going home was dangerous, as surely a search party would soon be sent for him, he went to a friend's house for a few days, and then traveled to Rostov.

Arriving in Rostov, he found his fellow chasidim in despair.

"The Rebbe has been arrested and sentenced to three years exile in Kostroma," [3] he was told.

Without hesitation, he set out immediately for Kostroma. When he arrived where the Rebbe Rayatz (the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef –Yitzchak Schneersohn) was staying, he requested permission to see the Rebbe. The chasidim were reluctant to allow him in – as his presence could endanger the Rebbe – but at last he was granted a yechidus (private audience).

In yechidus, the Rebbe gave him peculiar instructions.

"Travel to Moscow and meet with several chasidim who have legitimate permits allowing them to purchase merchandise. Try to obtain for yourself such documents bearing your name. Once you have them, return to Cuta'isi and present yourself to the NKVD! You should tell them that because during the interrogation they were not happy with your method of income, you therefore chose to go into business, and that's why you left so suddenly -- to immediately buy merchandise."

The Rebbe than gave him a note that contained specific instructions for the elder chasid Reb Boruch-Sholom, [4] who would make the necessary connection with the businessmen for him. He then warned him to ensure the note be destroyed immediately after reading it.

So, after Shabbat, he travelled to Moscow. Arriving there he noticed that the train station was packed with people, many of them secret agents of the NKVD. Much caution was needed to not raise suspicion. He took the first trolley in the direction of the city, taking a seat next to a bearded elderly Jew. After eyeing each other for some time the elder broke the ice.

"From where does this Jew come?" he questioned.

"Kostroma." The chasid replied.

The joy on the other man's face was clear. Realizing that this was his chance, the chasid probed. "Perhaps you know Reb Boruch Sholom?"

"Boruch Sholom? – that's me!" the elderly Jew responded.

When they arrived inside Reb Boruch Sholom's home, the two hugged and kissed cheeks (as is customary among Russian chasidim). The host inquired about the Rebbe and the reason for the chasid’s visit. The latter conveyed regards from the Rebbe and gave Reb Boruch Sholom the note, which, after reading and rereading, they burned.

The chasid was overjoyed at finding Reb Boruch Sholom in such a large city. His joy turned to amazement when hearing from Reb Boruch Sholom that he usually doesn't travel in the morning before shacharit (the Morning Prayer), but that particular day he awoke with an urge to go to the train station.

"How wonderful are the ways of Hashgacha (Divine Supervision)," cried Reb Boruch Sholom. "When traveling with the Rebbe's power, wonders are no wonders."

On the following day there was a farbrengen (chasidic gathering) with the elder chasidim of Moscow, where the chasid conveyed regards from the Rebbe to all of them.

Their happiness was tremendous, as much effort was being put into securing the release of the Rebbe – which was expected within the next few days. And after that, chasidim hoped, he would be granted permission to leave the USSR.

Following the exact directives of the Rebbe, he met with the right people acquired the necessary papers, and returned to Cuta'isi,. When he arrived, although a wanted man, he informed his family that he had no intention of fleeing or going into hiding – and, compounding their fears, he told them his plan to walk directly into the offices of the notorious NKVD voluntarily.

In vain his family pleaded with him to come to his senses, but he remained adamant about following the Rebbe's advice and soon left on his way.

The same guard who was on duty when he had left recognized him immediately. Seeing his chance to make up for his embarrassing mistake, the guard led him directly to the interrogator's office, and announced, "You were upset that I let this guy leave? Well here he is, he returned on his own."

Almost instantly, the interrogator bombarded him with questions, first and foremost being why did he run away and disappear?

"I didn't run away," he answered calmly. "You told me to go – so I left. Who can escape you anyway?"

"And where have you been until now?" the interrogator queried.

The chasid then proceeded to tell them exactly what the Rebbe had told him to say, and concluded by presenting the paperwork to validate his tale.

After thoroughly inspecting the papers and finding them to be in order the interrogator told him, "It is a fine choice you made to not be a scholar and rather switch to the path of business. But, take my advice: even better would be to drop the business and become a worker!"

The chasid nodded his agreement and promised to consider his advice.

"It is your good fortune," continued the interrogator, "that you smartly turned yourself in. Were we to have searched and found you, you would have been sentenced to ten years’ exile in Siberia! Now go home, heed my word and become a worker."

Each year on Yud Beis–Yud Gimmel [12-13] of the Jewish month of Tammuz, the same dates as the Rebbe's release from exile, this chasid would celebrate his freedom, due to following the Rebbe's inspired advice.

Connection: This Shabbat, the tenth of the Jewish month of Shvat, is the 74^th yahrzeit of the Rebbe Rayatz (and the 73nd anniversary of his son-in-law officially ascending to the Leadership of Chabad).

Biographical note:
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn [of blessed memory: 12 Tammuz 5640 - 10 Shvat 5710 (Jan. 1880-June 1950)], known as the Rebbe Rayatz, was the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, from 1920 to 1950. He established a network of Jewish educational institutions and Chassidim that was the single most significant factor for the preservation of Judaism during the dread reign of the communist Soviets. In 1940 he moved to the USA, established Chabad world-wide headquarters in Brooklyn and launched the global campaign to renew and spread Judaism in all languages and in every corner of the world, the campaign continued and expanded so remarkably successfully by his son-in-law and successor, Rabbi Menachem-Mendel Schneerson.

The Holy Zohar teaches (Zohar I, 28a): "Woe to the world for they do not provide help for the Shechina (Divine Presence) during the exile, or for Moshe (i.e. the Tzaddik), who is always with Her and never moves from Her… Moshe did not die. He is called Adam. Of Adam it is written (Bereishit 2:20), 'And Adam had no helpmate'. This applies to the last exile: Adam – the Tzaddik – has no helpmate. Everyone is against the Tzaddik".

Kol-HaTor The Voice of the Turtle Dove Kol HaTor - קול התור or "The Voice of the Turtledove" (a reference to Song of Songs 2:12) was written by Rabbi Hillel Rivlin of Shklov, a disciple of the Vilna Gaon . The text deals with the Geulah (Era of Redemption) and describes its signs vis-a-vis an evaluation of a proposed 999 footsteps of the Moshiach’s arrival. The Vilna Gaon believed the number 999 to be intrinsically connected to the idea of Moshiach ben Yosef, he also felt that this number is alluded to in the gematria of his own name. It was first published in Hebrew by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kasher in 1968 to whom the book was passed down over the generations.  Read in English or in Hebrew.

From where do we know this? Since it is written, “The Lord possessed (usually translated as ‘created’) me at the beginning of his course, at the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). 2a) Heaven and earth, another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “Thus said the Lord: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode? (Isaiah 66:1) And it says: “How many are the things You have made, O Lord; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions” (Psalms 104:24). 3a) Abraham is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “He blessed him, saying, “Blessed by Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 15:19). 4a) Israel is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “Till Your people cross over, O Lord, Till Your people whom You have possessed” (Exodus 15:16). And it says: “As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire (possession) is in them” (Psalms 16:3). 5a) The Temple is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “The sanctuary, O lord, which your hands have established” (Exodus 15:17”, And it says: “And He brought them to His holy realm, to the mountain, which His right hand had possessed” (Psalms 78:54).   I like to call out to all my Jewish friends: Zechariah 8:23   23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."   כגכֹּֽה־אָמַר֘ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֚ר יַֽחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם: ten men: from the seventy nations. This equals seven hundred for each corner. For the four corners of the tallith there will be two thousand and eight hundred.   עשרה אנשים: משבעים לשון הרי שבע מאות לכל כנף וכנף הרי לד' כנפי הטלית אלפים ושמונ' מאו': That may come in fulfillment in our days: Our souls are bearing the ‘sparks’ (divine aspects) of Messiah. It is forbidden to pray to bow down to any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or before any image or to lift up a human being as a god…… or to put any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or any image before or instead or between HaShem and us. ('It suf') “The redemption will come about only through the study of the Torah. And the essential redemption depends upon the study of the Kabbalah” According to: R. ELIYAHU, THE VILNA GAON (Evven Shelemah (a ‘complete, without defect stone’) 11:3) When Yehuda and Ephraim come to unity (again) Messiah Ben Joseph 'died' and Messiah Ben David shall be revealed and anointed by the Israeli people as the Messiah-King of Israel. As YeshaYahu is teaching: Isa 11:9 – 16 They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Adonai as the waters cover the sea. Rashi: knowledge of the Lord: [lit.] to know the Lord. 10 And on that day, there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the nations shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem. Rashi: as a banner for peoples: that peoples should raise a banner to gather to him. 11 And it shall be in that day that Adonai sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from Shin‛ar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea. Rashi: a second time: Just as he acquired them from Egypt, when their redemption was absolute, without subjugation, but the redemption preceding the building of the Second Temple is not counted, since they were subjugated to Cyrus. and from the islands of the sea: the islands of the Kittim, the Romans, the descendants of Esau. And he shall raise a banner: Perka, perche in O.F. [i.e., the verse is literally referring to the pole upon which the banner is attached.] And it shall be for a sign to gather to him and to bring the exiles of Israel to Him as a present. 12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’ěl, and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏa from the four corners of the earth. 13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Yehuḏa be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehuḏa, and Yehuḏa not trouble Ephrayim. Rashi: Ephraim shall not envy Judah: The Messiah, the son of David, and the Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not envy each other. 14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them. Rashi: And they shall fly of one accord against the Philistines in the west: Heb. בְכָתֵף. Israel will fly and run of one accord against the Philistines who are in the west of Eretz Israel and conquer their land. [כָּתֵף, lit. a shoulder, is used in this case to denote unity. The word שֶׁכֶם, also lit. a shoulder, is used in a similar sense.] Comp. (Hoshea 6:9) “They murder on the way in unison (שֶׁכְמָה) ”; (Zeph. 3:9) “One accord (שְׁכֶם אֶחָד).” And so did Jonathan rendered it: And they shall join in one accord to smite the Philistines who are in the west. and the children of Ammon shall obey them: As the Targum states: Will hearken to them. They will accept their commandments over them. 15 And Adonai shall put under the ban the tongue of the Sea of Mitsrayim, and He shall wave His hand over the River with the might of His Spirit, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and shall cause men to tread it in sandals. Rashi: And… shall dry up: [lit. shall cut off] to dry it, so that the exiles of Israel will pass through it from Egypt. over the river: The Euphrates River, for the exiles from Assyria to cross. with the strength of His wind: Heb. בַּעְיָם. This is hapax legomenon in Scripture, and according to the context it can be interpreted as “with the strength of His wind.” into seven streams: into seven segments, for the aforementioned seven exiles: from Assyria and from Egypt, etc. Those from the islands of the sea are not from that side. and He shall lead: the exiles within it. with shoes: on dry land. 16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur, as it was for Yisra’ěl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim. Rashi: And there shall be a highway: in the midst of the water for the remnant of His people.

It should be most honest: 'Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims **AMIT HALEVI'S PLAN WOULD GIVE MUSLIMS CONTROL OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT COMPLEX, WHICH CONTAINS THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, WHILE JEWS WOULD RECEIVE THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS. (JUNE 8, 2023 / JNS)** A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site. Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits. According to Halevi, the reorganization makes sense from a religious point of view because that part of the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where it is believed the First and Second Temples stood. The Foundation Stone at the center of the Dome of the Rock is where Jewish sources place the Holy of Holies. “This is the place of the First Temple and the place of the Second Temple built by Babylonian immigrants. No one needs to examine the stones to know that it is ours,” he said. Halevi also wants to end Israel’s agreement with the Jordanian Waqf whereby the Islamic trust controls and manages Islamic edifices on the Temple Mount. “Why not give them status in the Dizengoff Center [a large shopping mall in Tel Aviv] as well? This is a terrible mistake. This status should be abolished. I know it’s an agreement between countries, but we have to deal with it. It requires change, even if the process will take time,” he said. In addition, Halevi wants to give Jews the same access to the Temple Mount enjoyed by Muslims. Currently, the Waqf only allows Jews and non-Muslim tourists access to the Temple Mount via the Maghrebi Gate and only at certain hours when the gate is open. “We will take the northern end and pray there. The entire mountain is sacred to us, and the Dome of the Rock is the place on which the Temple stood. This should be our guideline,” he said. “Israel is leading. It will be a historical, religious and national statement. If this does not happen then you are not actually the owner of the house. You are a klutz.
