Third Rome #3: Russia's Hidden Role in Hasidism and Zionism

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov 

How did events in the Russian Empire launch two transformative Jewish movements that changed the world? What role has Russia (particularly the KGB) played in the early years of the State of Israel, and the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict? And what does it all have to do with ancient prophecies of Magog, Edom, and the "Third Rome"?

Amalek and the Spiritual Essence of Purim

 New shiur from Rabbi Mendel Kessin

The Three Keys

"Engrave on it with signet-ring [type] engraving: "Holy to Hashem"
  פִּתּוּחֵי חֹתָם קֹדֶשׁ לַי־הֹוָ־ה 
[Tetzaveh 28:36]

In Maseches Ta'anis (2a) R' Yochanan states that there are three maftechos, three keys, in Hashem's possession that He never entrusts to others:

• the key to childbirth
• the key to rain
• and the key to resuscitating the dead

The Gemara derived this from three verses:

Hashem does not entrust the key to childbirth to a messenger, as the verse states: "G-d remembered Rachel; G-d hearkened to her and He opened (vayiftach) her womb" [Bereishis 30:22]

Hashem does not entrust the key of rain to a messenger, as the verse states: "Hashem shall open for you His storehouse of goodness, the heavens, to provide rain for your Land in its time" [Devarim 28:12]

And Hashem does not entrust the key of resuscitating the dead to a messenger, as the verse states: "Then you will know that I am Hashem, when I open your graves" [Yechezkel 37:13]

These three keys, remarked the Vilna Gaon, are alluded to in the verse: "Pituchei chosam kodesh laHashem" - פִּתּוּחֵי חֹתָם קֹדֶשׁ לַי־הֹוָ־ה -

The acronym of the word  חֹתָם [Ches, taf, mem] which means "seal" hints to the following words:

Ches - Chayah [a woman who has recently given birth]

Taf - Techiyas HaMeisim [the resuscitation of the dead]

Mem - Matar [rain]

The verse can therefore be read as follows:  "The keys of [pituchei] childbirth, resuscitation of the dead, and rain - ChoTaM - are designated for Hashem's use only ["kodesh laHashem"].

Russia's Nuclear Exercises and Adar

As we approach Adar, we also approach a ramping up from Russia, with it's nuclear forces doing "massive exercise" - on the eve of Biden's visit to Europe. 

We know Adar is the month of miraculous events where evil is turned around - V’nahafoch hu - the enemy’s’ efforts ultimately lead them towards becoming the source of the salvation for the Jews.

And here I want to quote Myrtle Rising about Russia: [I highly recommend clicking on that link and reading the whole blog post]

The Russian nation comes from the klippah of Dubiel ("God is my Bear"—or, in modern Hebrew  ..."God is my Teddy Bear"—ha!). 

Interestingly, even the non-Jews sense this aspect of Russia because they dubbed Russia with the moniker "the great Russian bear." 

The original nation under the klippah/sar/Heavenly representative of Dubiel was Paras—Persia. Persia existed as the initial earthly manifestation of Dubiel......when we hear about Russia's increasing aggression and victories, it stands out as a sign that Dubiel's power is reaching its peak...at which point, the only way is down. 

This is similar to Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein's parable of a dying fish which, in an effort to return to its life-giving watery habitat, thrashes around more than it ever did or ever needed to do its entire life.

Davka in the last dying moments, power often peaks. 

Dubiel is about to die, so its earthly counterpart is thrashing around. This means we now need to prepare ourselves for the approaching bell-ringing of Mashiach.

Derailments and Toxic Rivers [updated]

There were at least four train derailments in America yesterday.  The first one in East Palestine Ohio has contaminated the Ohio River, one of the longest rivers in America.  I have listed the four known train derailments below the image.  

Is this sabotage, or is it something else.... such as earth movements causing rail lines to buckle?  Whatever the case, once the rivers become toxic, water flows and travels and maybe we are seeing this sign of Geula approaching.  Again, stock up on canned tuna if you need to.

Talmud Sanhedrin 98a "Mashiach ben Dovid will not arrive until someone seeks a fish for a sick person and cannot find one."

Toxic chemicals from the train derailment & explosion in East Palestine have reportedly “contaminated” the Ohio River as far as West Virginia, a water source for over 5 million.

Making Your Own Messiah [and UFOs]

There are so many things going on at the moment, and it's not so easy to know which ones are real and which aren't.  The real events are also being manipulated, and it's only through Torah that you can separate the truth from the lies.  Basically, if it fits with the Torah's description of the End of Days, I think it's real.  That's my rationale anyway.  

While I was researching other things, I came across this:  Project Blue Beam -  "the idea that, if you can't find a messiah, you can use technology to make one". [Source] [I haven't listened to the podcast]  It's called a "conspiracy theory" but like a lot of other conspiracy theories, this one is actually true, and seems to be coming to life in 2023.  You can find other references to Project Blue Beam if you Google.

The Turkey quake: many believe that was brought about by HAARP.  I also believe that now.  Clue: the flashing blue light beforehand and the clanging noises.  [I have linked to my blog post on the lights and sounds, and as you can see the video has been taken down by You Tube. and the account terminated - too much information for the general public to be made aware of.] These strange noises, and other trumpet like sounds, are also HAARP, and not the trumpets that the Xtians think is a sign of the End.

Whether or not these trumpet-like sounds are deliberately being made to make the JC worshippers think it's all happening again..... is speculation but possibly true.  They want to make their own messiah because they also know the real one is coming.  Who are they?  Shrug... I actually have no idea who "they" are.... but it's a giant band of evil and it's fighting the coming Geula. 

There's too many politics for me to try and explain why they decided to destroy Turkey, I am not political and there's plenty of other people who can explain all that, go ahead and do so in the comments if you feel like it.  Just look to America if you're looking for the evil.  And look to America if you're looking for the evil in the Russia/Ukraine war.  And the blowing up of the Nordstream Gas lines. Putin is not the bad guy here.  We're just not being given all the information.

Nevertheless, all of this has been sanctioned by Hashem, of course, nothing happens in the world unless Hashem okays it.  So German has problems with gas.... there's a midda kneged midda if ever there was one.  Ukraine [Ekron] needs to be destroyed? Again something that has been foretold as happening. 

Hashem is using the evil to do His job at the End of Days.  We are the ones who wanted to be here to watch it all go down.  Here we all are, and we are watching the show.  We all just need to keep an open mind and remember that just like Alice in Wonderland, nothing is really as it appears to be anymore.

Training Ourselves to Tell the Truth

Text by Rabbi David Chananya Pinto

In our Parashah [Mishpatim], the Torah warns us against the prohibition of falsehood, as it is stated, “Distance yourself from a false matter.” Thus the Chafetz Chaim writes [in his sefer Sefat Tamim 87]: How great the virtue of truth is; it is one of the pillars that the world stands upon, as Chazal state. One who upholds this, it is as if he sustained the entire world, and brings abundance to the world, as it is stated in the midrash [Yalkut Tehillim 85] on the pasuk “Truth will sprout from the earth.” When there is truth in the world, Hashem performs charity with the people and saves them from calamity, and abundance comes down to the world.

And this trait, the Chafetz Chaim writes, brings a person to do good things and withdraw from doing anything evil.

A Direct Hit

Parshat Yitro: 20:1-4  6th Aliyah, corresponding to the sixth day of the week: Friday 10 February

"I am the Lord, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 

You shall not have the gods of others in My presence. 

You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness which is in the heavens above, which is on the earth below, or which is in the water beneath the earth."

On the same day, Friday 10 February, lightning strikes the statue of "The Redeemer" in Brazil.

The Significance of Turkey's Deadliest Earthquake

Rav Fish on the Turkey Quake: Earthquakes will be the start of the Redemption

Rav Yekutiel Fish

Hebrew with English subtitles

What in the World.....

A couple of big events occurred yesterday on Tu b'Shvat.  First, the huge earthquakes in Turkey, and secondly the demonic satanic Grammy Awards where the audience was treated to a show with the performers dressed in red, and some with horns, as the devil. I think the entire Awards night was devised as a tribute to the satan. 

The Turkey quakes were introduced with stunning blue flashes of light, which can be seen in the video below.  I tried to find out what causes the blue flash but it seems that no-one really knows for sure. National Geographic tried to explain it but ended their story by saying that they really don't have a clue and are still debating the issue.

Back in January, there was an ominous red cloud in the sky over Turkey, which no-one could really explain either.

And here is a photo of the skies over Izmit, Turkey just last week.  Red sky.  Caused by the red star which is also causing the massive earthquakes?

There is so much going on in the skies above us at the moment, and some people are saying there is an entire planetary system crossing with ours.  Nibiru is the sun, and it has moons and planets around it.  This could be true because I have seen a lot of photos and there is definitely more than one object up there.  One specific planet has a lot of holes, while Nibiru itself is behind the sun. It can sometimes be seen rising up before the sun itself rises.  

Did G-d create more than one solar system?  Is the Nibiru system bringing the Geula?  What is going on? I would really appreciate some input here.
