Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaCohen of Radin, zt"l, devoted a substantial portion of his day to arouse Jewish people's awareness to the prohibition of lashon hara, and he even wrote a sefer on the subject.
The Chafetz Chaim believed that one of the main reasons for the lengthiness of our Exile was because of negligence and ignorance concerning one's proper speech. (As he put it, there is a lot of ignorance concerning this matter and people are used to saying whatever they want, without considering whether it is permissible or perhaps constitutes rechilut or lashon hara).

Wishing everyone a wonderful Pesach. May we hear good news!
''Moshe then said to Aharon: ''Draw near to the altar''[Shemini 9:7]
Rashi explains that Aharon was embarrassed and afraid to approach the altar. Moshe therefore said to him ''Why are you embarrassed? This is what you were selected for.''
The Baal Shem Tov elucidated Rashi's words. Moshe was saying to Aharon: Why are you embarrassed? It is specifically due to the fact that you possess the character trait of humility and that you feel ashamed before Hashem that you were chosen to be the Kohen - ''This is what you were selected for!"
This Rabbi tells of a war that will be against Amalek. It will start on Purim and will end on the evening of Pesach.
As we know, this war began three days before Purim, but bear in mind that the 11 Adar is the earliest date that the Megillah can be read.
Sefer B'nei Yissaschar, by R’ Tzvi Elimelech Spira of Dinov [1783-1841] …
And with this, consider/reflect [on] that which we will begin to explain in the laws of Pesach,
on the day of Purim precisely, the day Amalek is enlivened/revived, and behold, the Kabbalah
of the previous generations was received into our hands, see Tikunei Zohar [51].
That in the future, quickly, in our days, [will be the] war [of]
Amalek, and his revival will be on the evening of the Chag of Pesach, behold yours before you,
and the start [is] on the day of Purim, and the conclusion and the end/completion [is] on the
evening of Pesach/Erev Pesach, they are 720 hours, a total of 3 times “Amalek,
” to
nullify/cancel/remove [the] shiur komah [the dimensions of the body] [of] the klipah completely in thought, speech and
deed/action, and by this you will understand [the] reason [for] bedikat chametz/the search for chametz.
This blog may not be updated as I have a ton of Pesach things to do, and honestly .... the world is so insane at the moment that I just want to disappear.
I will leave you with this video of our two suns.... as you can see there are two lens flares to match the two sources of light. Yes we have two suns, and the second sun has an entire solar system passing us by daily, which is why parts of the USA are experiencing a great deal of heat way too early in the season.
Saddam Hussein initiated the Gulf War by ordering the invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990.
The current war with Iran is also in the Persian Gulf and again we see oil and gas supplies being destroyed, just as the Kuwaiti oil wells were set alight in 1991. History repeating itself.
The same prophecy that was discussed by Rav Laniado 470 years ago in Sefer Kli Paz.
Isaiah 34: [6]The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Botzrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
[8]For the LORD hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the Controversy/Cause of Zion. [9]And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch/tar, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch/tar.
The last pasuk speaks of burning oil wells.
On 27 Menachem Av 5750 / 18 August 1990, the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Sicha on Shabbat Parshat Re'eh linked the Gulf War in 1990/91 with the coming of Moshiach.
Moshiach didn't arrive in 1991, unfortunately, and somehow we've made it to 2026 and this new war in the Gulf. However, the Rebbe's words about the coming of Moshiach apply just as well to this current war, as they did to the previous one in 1990, especially bearing in mind that the 1991 war ended on Purim, and the 2026 war began three days before Purim, which was actually the day Queen Esther began her three day fast.
This is what the Rebbe said in 1990:
May this lead to the time when we see the Third Beis HaMikdash openly revealed on this earthly plane. This is particularly relevant at present when we see the omens portending the Messianic redemption mentioned by our Sages. In particular, it is significant to cite a passage from the Yalkut Shimoni which has been publicized in recent weeks:
Rabbi Yitzchok declared: In the year when the Messianic king will come, all the gentile nations will challenge one another. The King of Persia will challenge an Arab king and the Arab king will go to Aram for advice. The King of Persia will then destroy the entire world. All the nations of the world will panic and become frightened, falling on their faces, suffering contractions like labor pains. The Jews will also panic and become frightened, asking, “Where will we go? Where will we go?” [G‑d will then reveal Himself, and] tell them: “My children, you need not fear. Everything which I did, I did for your sake. Why are you frightened?... The time for your redemption has come.”
"This ultimate redemption will not resemble the first redemption which was followed by aggravation and subjugation to other powers. After the ultimate redemption, there will be no aggravation and subjugation to other powers.” Our Sages taught: When the Messianic king will come, he will stand on the roof of the Beis HaMikdash and call out to the Jews, “Humble ones, the time for your redemption has come.” [Yalkut Shimoni, Yeshayahu 499]
Everyone should realize that there is no reason to become frightened and we have the promise: “The time for your redemption has come.”
May we see Mashiach standing on the roof of the Beis HaMikdash and may he announce: “Mashiach is here.”

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
