Who by Water, Who by Fire

On Rosh Hashanah will be inscribed and on Yom Kippur will be sealed how many will pass from the earth and how many will be created; who will live and who will die; who will die at his predestined time and who before his time; who by water and who by fire, who by sword, who by beast, who by famine, who by thirst, who by storm, who by plague, who by strangulation, and who by stoning. Who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried, who will enjoy tranquillity and who will suffer, who will be impoverished and who will be enriched, who will be degraded and who will be exalted.

ISRAEL: FIRE

  1. Weather is extreme and strange all over. Other's have our water, because the country here is sinning.

  2. Thank you Devorah for your quote "WHO BY WATER. WHO BY FIRE"

    The message is potent.

    However, I strongly urge you to please consider quoting the 'punch-line":-

    UT'SHUVA, UT'FILLA, UT'ZDAKKA - MA'AVIRIN ET RO'A HAG'ZEIRA" -

    meaning: "BUT REPENTENCE, AND PRAYER AND GIVING CHAITY - SHALL AVERT THE EVIL DECREE" ! ! !

    No matter how badly one has sinned - no matter how dire the consequences decreed upon the sinner, Hashem has promised his beloved, yet at times wayward children, that He will ANNUL all evil decrees when:-
    1)a Jew RETURNS TO HIM (repents his sins)
    2)turns to Him in sincere PRAYER and
    3)ACTS CHARITABLY towards his fellow man.

    May we hear only good titings in the future.

  3. typo.
    should read:

    MAY WE HEAR ONLY GOOD TIDINGS IN THE FUTURE!

    And may we ALL return to Hashem in complete T'Shuva!

    So kind of you to bring this to our attention.

    Toda Rabba, D'vora!
