Spreading the Light

A continuous fire shall burn upon the altar; it shall not go out. [Tzav 6:6]

There were two types of fire in the Sanctuary and Holy Temple: one that burned on the outer altar, and one that burned in the menora inside. 

The priest whose job it was to light the menora did so with a flame taken from the outer altar. 

This teaches an important lesson: The outer altar is symbolic of our Divine service with other people; the kindling of the menora alludes to Torah study, as it states in Proverbs, "The Torah is light." 

Thus in order to merit the Torah's light it isn't enough to concern oneself with one's own spiritual progress; the concern should be extended to others as well.

Wonders in the Heavens #5: Seven Stars on the North

 

Pleiades - [Ernie Rossi, Florida]

".. when a star on the East side will swallow seven stars on the North side, and a flame of black fire will be hanging in the firmament 60 days....." [Zohar] 

It just so happens that the "seven stars on the North side" mentioned in the Zohar above are currently visible in our night sky.  They are converging near the planetary line-up of Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus and Venus as discussed below.  And the "star on the East side" is our Sun [Source: Dov bar Leib, when a similar thing occurred in 2012]

Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Uranus and Venus are currently lining up in a rare ‘planetary parade’, with their shiny formation visible to the naked eye....Although the alignment was at its brightest on Tuesday, March 28 for all those who got the chance to look up, it will continue to be visible to all lucky stargazers tonight, and into the next few days. 

But wait! The celestial wonders don’t end there. Astronomers have also said that a cluster of extremely bright, young and hot stars will be converging near the planetary line-up. The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, are a set of brilliant blue stars hat are said to look particularly stunning when observed through a simple pair of binoculars...

Blood Red Seas

 

So said the Lord, "With this you will know that I am the Lord." Behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water that is in the Nile, and it will turn to blood And the fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will become putrid, and the Egyptians will weary [in their efforts] to drink water from the Nile.' [Vaeira 7:17-18]

Every time Nibiru crosses in front of the Earth, it plants our entire planet (land and seas) with millions of tons of fine red dust of Iron Oxide.   As time goes by, the Iron Oxide builds up sediment, and this is covered over by new layers of sedimentation that has been deposited on top.  And these days, the ground in many parts has moved.  It is possible that the movement of the ground left a cloak of Iron Oxide exposed, that would have come in contact with water and been dragged away.

Note: I did not come up with this theory, it is from a Nibiru "expert".  

The Mirror

The defects that you notice in someone else are the parts of yourself that still need fixing.

The world is a mirror ..... many people don't understand this.   Whenever you notice a particular character trait in another person..... that is the part of yourself that you need to work on.  If you think you have already fixed that trait in yourself, then why does it affect you so much when you see it in someone else?

The one who aggravates you the most, is most likely the one who possesses your own bad middot, but it's easier for us to criticize others than to work on ourselves.

If you can't see that trait in yourself, look harder. 

You can learn a great deal about someone by listening to what they say about others.  Most of what they say about someone else, applies to them !  They probably don't realize this.... and it's a good way of working out just who somebody really is.

The world is a mirror, you see your own reflection in other people.

The following is extracted from "Not Just Stories" by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski M.D.

Denial is a psychological term referring to a person's inability to see reality. Denial is a frequently occuring phenomenon, and is one of the many psychological defense mechanisms, whose function is to shield a person from an awareness that would cause him distress.

A very common form of denial is a person's inability to see his own character defects. The reason is obvious: awareness of the presence of this defect in oneself is too much for a person to bear. Yet unawareness of these defects will result in one's doing nothing to improve upon them. Even a dedicated soul-searching may fail to reveal one's own shortcomings, since denial obscures their existence from him.

The Baal Shem Tov said that G-d provided a way to circumvent this denial: "The world is a mirror" said the Baal Shem Tov. "The defects you see in others are really your own."

While denial prevents a person from seeing his own character defects, it does not prevent him from seeing defects in other people. Quite the contrary, we are experts at detecting faults in others. All we need to do, then, said the Baal Shem Tov, is to realise that these are but a reflection of our own shortcomings. We do not see defects in others that are non-existent in ourselves.

"Love covers all offenses" [Proverbs 10:12] has filtered down to the colloquial aphorism that "Love is blind". It is common knowledge that we may be oblivious to defects in someone we love, although they may be blatant to other observers. Just as we may not see that which we do not wish to see, so it is conversely true that we only see something which, for some reason, attracts our attention. The Baal Shem Tov states that when we see defects in others, the reason for this recognition is that, in one way or another, they represent our own defects.

This principle is a major dynamic in the effectiveness of group therapy. In treatment of some types of emotional disorders, group therapy may be far more effective than individual therapy. A therapist pointing out a particular character defect to a client may be rejected, with the patient's denial preventing the necessary insight. In a group session, the client is very likely to note this very defect in another group member, and the group may then help him realize that he too has this particular characteristic, and this is extremely effective in overcoming one's denial.

It is the persistence of denial that constitutes a major obstacle to therapy and corrective action.

Rabbi Dov Ber of Lubavitch was receiving his chassidim, when he abruptly told his assistant to close the door and not allow anyone entry. Some of the chassidim, eager to understand the Rabbi's sudden desire for solitude, put their ears to the door and heard the Rabbi reciting Tehillim with heartrending tones.

The Rabbi later explained that whenever a chassid asks him for guidance to do teshuvah for a transgression; he immediately searches for that transgression within himself, according to the Baal Shem Tov's teaching that the world is a mirror, and had he not been guilty of the same thing, even in a much more diluted form, it would never have come to his attention. The discovery of an analogous defect within himself then allows him to make the necessary amends.

"When one chassid told me about something he had done wrong, I promptly began searching for a similar shortcoming in myself. However, I was unable to find it. This meant that I was deceiving myself, and that somewhere there was a dereliction of which I was unaware. Being oblivious of this would preclude my taking any corrective action, and I therefore had to pray intensely for Divine guidance to help me discover this defect in myself."

What a wonderful world it would be if every time we saw some defect in another person, we would do some soul-searching, and take corrective actions for self-improvement, rather than being critical of others and denoucing them.

Wonders in the Heavens #4

These photos were taken yesterday by a storm-watcher, it is not a bunch of clouds, it is the base cloud of a planet which probably caused the blocking out of the sun [see blog post immediately below this one] as it was passing by.  Notice the white line on top of the shelf cloud at the base, and how it then expands out into a sphere.  These are the base clouds of the planet being called "Napisiti" and I will stick to that name, for consistency.

Napisiti brings rain bombs and incredible lightning, thunder and flooding whenever it comes close to earth.  It uses the electro magnetic power of the storm to push away from earth.

Yesterday over Lake Macquarie, Australia

Yesterday over Molong, Australia

We see this exact same formation all over the world.  Clouds don't hold together and travel the world in the exact same formation, as you can see in these videos and photos, day after day after day.  This is not a bunch of storm clouds, this is a huge planet, part of the Nibiru system and we are looking at the atmosphere around it: these clouds belong to the planet Napisiti. 

I'm sure some are still going to be skeptical, but I'm blogging what I am seeing, and none of this is normal.  Hashem is showing us His awesome power and we are just getting started.

Today's Sun Block

 

This is Melbourne, Australia this morning, as the clouds blocked the sun and a huge storm hit.  Doesn't take too much imagination to understand how the Nibiru system can block the sun anytime anywhere.

The Man Who Discovered Nibiru

This is the final interview of Professor Carlos Munoz Ferrada, the man who discovered the planet known as Nibiru.  Absolutely fascinating..... how Hashem has created this monster planet and how it operates, causing earthquakes/volcanic eruptions, and other disturbances with precision.

Video duration is 8 mins. After that it ends, and repeats itself. English subtitles.

Nibiru [Kochav Yaakov]

 

Text copied from a reliable source, and to be honest it is making much more sense than anything else I have read to date.

In the 1950s don Carlos Muñoz Ferrada was already speaking of Nibiru, based on his calculations and astronomical observations.

He referred to Nibiru as a comet planet.

Planet, because it is an oversized celestial body, whose diameter is about 4 times the diameter of Earth.

And comet, because it follows a comet-like trajectory, passing through among the other planets in the solar system.

And because it has a tail, similar to the tail of a comet.

Only its tail is immense, stretching many millions of miles outward.

And, much like the tail of a comet, the tail is blown out by the solar wind.  So, the tail is pointing towards Earth, as Nibiru comes closer. 

If the effects of Nibiru's approach are significant, for Earth, the effects of its tail are also significant.

The tail is made up of a sequence of moons, of varying sizes, that travel through space and play, around Nibiru, since in space there is no rubble.

It is also made up of a large number of asteroids, rocks and boulders, whose gravitational and magnetic force have been collecting in its dilated trajectory through space and its passage through the Asteroid Belt.

And finally, the tail is made up of the smaller and lighter components: pebbles, sandstone, and red iron oxide powder, as well as frozen hydrocarbons.

Then the larger bodies travel in the vicinity of Nibiru, the rector body, while the lighter elements, located towards the end of the tail, are blown out by the solar wind.

Since Nibiru has a powerful magnetic field, and since in the tail there are a lot of iron-containing bodies, and iron oxide, the tail also has a considerable electromagnetic charge.

That is, it acts like a magnetic arm of Nibiru, in the distance.

Since the tail stretches many millions of kilometers outward, blown by the solar wind, it is natural that one of the first signs of Nibiru's approach to Earth is the arrival of the tail to the neighborhood of the atmosphere... Then, occasionally, Nibiru's tail licks, or wraps, into Earth's atmosphere, generating various effects.

One of those effects, from our perspective, is that you can sometimes see the Sun surrounded by a strange halo, still with blue and clear sky.   Sunlight appears to have changed color, to some extent, detail that sensitive people quickly notice.   And the sunburn also gets faster and more intense.

Occasionally you can see glowing clouds. They are effects of light that illuminate greasy elements, which have reached the atmosphere.  Product of the frozen hydrocarbons contained in the queue... It is true that meteorites falling to Earth increases dramatically.

The tail of Nibiru is plagued with rocks and boulders, of all sizes.  Occasionally, you can see reddish sunsets, beyond the ordinary, by the play of sunlight and the refraction of light due to the effect of the Earth's gravity and its reflections through the tail of Nibiru, plagued with fine red rust dust made of iron. And sometimes red or brown dust deposits are observed over some flat surfaces, and even dust-reddish rains or snow.  But, the tail also has an electromagnetic charge, which makes it act like an extended magnetic arm of Nibiru.

And, suddenly, the rocky layers of the Earth, under pressure or traction, with their saltwater turnips inside them, become conductors of electricity... Then, occasionally, the tail 'makes land', approaching those conducting elements: it produces a random, localized, Electromagnetic Pulse effect.

Electromagnetic Pulse induces failure in nearby electrical and electronic equipment. Unexplained blackouts in power grids... Temporary, or fatal, faults in electronic, domestic and industrial systems.. Glitches in navigation systems, controls and avionics of aircraft.. Faults, interruptions and intermittencies, on radio and TV, and communication systems.. And many more.

I think we have been witnessing a lot of these phenomena, for quite some time now..That couldn't be happening if Nibiru were located beyond the Sun, (as NASA seems to be saying), as in that case the solar wind would blow the tail in the opposite direction, and not towards Earth.

These phenomena are indicators confirming to us that Nibiru is located somewhere between the Earth and the Sun... Later, at some point, abundant red dust will fall, which will colour the surface waters and communicate to them a bitter taste.   Just as happened in Egypt in the time of Ramses II.

The effects of Nibiru tail can be found in all traditions, myths and legends of the original peoples. They can be traced to the Bible (Exodus), the Vishuddhi Marga (Tibet), the Avila and Molina (Aztecans), the Kolbrin, and many others.

Feminism and the Curses of Eve

 

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov 

What were the 39 curses decreed upon Adam, Eve, and the Serpent following the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden? What do the “curses of Eve” have to do with the status of women throughout history, and the feminist movement in modern times? And might certain aspects of feminism be part of a larger global transition prophesied long ago in the Tanakh and other ancient Jewish sources?

Baseless Hatred

L'illui nishmat Esther Rivka bas Moshe

by Rabbi David Hanania Pinto 

We have learned of the paramount importance of loving one's fellow and how much we have to gain from it both spiritually and materially. Now, let us examine another facet: Let us see what we may lose if the love is replaced by hatred, and if unity is replaced with dispute.

In fact, just as we are commanded in the holy Torah to love our fellow by the mitzvah of "Love your fellow as yourself," we are likewise commanded [Vayikra 19:17], "You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your fellow, but you shall not bear a sin on his account." This implies that hating one's fellow does not only result in losing out on the mitzvah of loving one's fellow, but rather it is an outright prohibition of the Torah in itself.

When we hear of a certain person that got sick with a dangerous illness, G-d forbid, we shake our heads sympathetically: "Oh, how awful! How much bad news there is!" But oddly enough, regarding the dreaded illness of our hearts, we do not grieve over it and do not sense at all. We do not even notice it, and moreover, we do not realize how dangerous it is.

We are actually referring to the dreaded illness of baseless hatred. Yes! It is truly an illness, maybe even a widespread plague! But unlike most illnesses, this disease is an all-embracing disease that affects all 248 organs and 365 sinews of our body.

When one commits a sin, an impure spirit is drawn to that organ involved in the sin, as Chazal say [Ketubot 5b] "A man shall not let his ears hear idle things, because they are burnt first of [all] the organs." This implies that by hearing forbidden speech, a spirit of impurity is drawn upon the ear, and thus ultimately it is burnt first of all the organs. So too, every organ that is used to commit a sin, an impure spirit is drawn upon it, but this is not the place to expound on the topic.

While certain sins cast impurity upon organs that the neshamah is not dependent on, it is nonetheless a great impediment. How much more so is the danger when the spirit of impurity is cast upon an organ that the neshamah is dependent on, such as the heart, upon which the life of a person hinges. If the person, G-d forbid, lacks a heart, then he is considered dead! Thus, the severe sin of baseless hatred, which lies in the heart of a person, draws the impure spirit upon one's heart. Since it is the central organ of a person, consequently the spirit of impurity gets circulated throughout one's entire body! 

When a disease affects one organ, it can be really dangerous, but still there is a chance to save the patient. However, what happens when a tumor has spread to all the vital organs in the body, such as the heart, brain, and the like? Then the situation is so much worse, and the chance for surviving is almost non-existent.

The Chofetz Chaim elucidates that the same applies to illnesses of the soul. Every transgression affects a certain organ, with which the man sinned. When it comes to a less central organ, then even though the patient's condition is dangerous, there is still a chance to save him. The danger to his life is not immediate. However, when a person sins with an organ that his soul is dependent upon, like when a person harbors baseless hatred, then his condition is far more dangerous, and there is almost no chance of saving him.

Wonders in the Heavens #3 - Purple Skies

 

As the Nibiru system passes by earth, the planets in the system push themselves away from the earth electro-magnetically, resulting in powerful lightning storms, more powerful than any we have seen before.  When they are not creating storms, they appear to us as clouds in the shape of a huge sphere, in a deeper blue than the normal sky, and they take up most of the sky available to our eyes.  Once you start to recognize the distinct shapes of these clouds belonging to these planets, you will see them all the time, in random photos, videos and even on TV, where other people don't even realize what they are looking at.

From our perspective, these planets can appear to be right on top of us, and obviously people are noticing. 

All the planets are different colours.  I believe there are 8 planets and some of them have moons.  Eight planets and all of them are different colours....seems like we're in for a very colourful Geula.

The Zohar says that before the Moshiach comes, an especially bright and colorful rainbow will appear.  How is the rainbow connected to the coming of Moshiach? Answer: Before the coming of Moshiach, a very special rainbow will appear. This rainbow will be so bright that all rainbows that have appeared on earth will seem very dim and weak in comparison. The bright strong colors of this rainbow are a sign that the Redemption is about to come. It is this rainbow, the Zohar tells us, that G-d was speaking about when He said to Noah [Gen. 9:16], "I will look at it to recall the eternal promise." [Zohar 1:72b]

I will introduce the planets gradually as I find information iy"H.  The system is moving all the time, and can be seen all over the world at different times.

When the purple planet known as 'Atu' is close, it gives us purple sky along with the lightning, as can be seen in the videos below, from Turkey, Texas and California. 

Wonders in the Heavens #2

These are not Wonders, these are man-made lines in the sky.

This is just a selection of clips from various places, including several from Israel, showing the ridiculous amount of chemtrails in the sky lately. It is happening all over the world, and the question is - why?  

Why are they masking the sky?   Or is the real question: what are they trying to hide?

There is quite a lot to hide, not just one planet but according to some people there are actually 8 planets as well as moons and asteroids, all coming very close to earth and able to be seen from earth, once you realize what you are looking at.   That is what I have been calling the "Nibiru system".   Apparently NASA knows it's there, of course, and they are deliberately making trails in the sky so even when people do see something, they can't be sure what they're actually seeing.  Whoever controls these things believes that people would be terrified if they knew what they were seeing, so it is their duty to protect us all from our own fear. 

I'm not afraid, and either is anyone else, from what I can gather.  People think it's incredible, and that it's a sign of the End of Days, nothing to worry about folks, and whoever they think is the Messiah is about to arrive!  [but it is bringing the crazy weather]

In this last clip, he thinks the circle around the sun has been caused by chemicals from the chemtrails... but that's not the case. I think the circle is from a planet near the sun, [no I can't prove it, if you have another theory, please share it]

Yarzheit 21 Adar: The Rebbe of Rebbes

"Today, in our bitter exile, there are people who receive ruach hakodesh more easily than in the time of the prophets." [Noam Elimelech]

Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk [known as "The Rebbe of Rebbes"]  was the student of Dov Ber of Mezerich, the brother of Meshulam Zushia of Anipoli. He was born in 1717, and died on 21 Adar in 1786  [ this year - 14 March]

During the lifetime of Dov Ber of Mezerich he traveled widely with his brother all over Poland to spread Hassidism. After Dov Ber's death, Rebbe Elimelech settled in Lizhensk and attained great fame, thanks to his lofty life. During his lifetime, Lizhensk was turned into a center of Polish-Galician Hassidism. There, many famous Tzadikim and Hassidic activists of Galicia were educated and obtained their inspiration during the 18th century.

Rebbe Elimelech is the author of “Noam Elimelech” [Lvov 1798], a book of commentaries on the Pentateuch. In that book, the role of a Tzadik is set out and explained, and the doctrine of Hassidism is explained in greater detail. This book was subject to an intense investigation by the opponents of Hassidism. Many of his expositions are published in his work “Darche Tzedek”, and other works.

The Melitzer Rebbe shlit'a, a direct descendant of the "Noam Elimelech", stated that Rebbe Yisroel of Ruzhin said that 500 years before Rebbe Elimelech was born, the world received abundance in his merit. Now, after his death, even more so!

It is said that Rabbi Elimelech promised anyone who would visit his grave that they would not leave this world without teshuva.



Kever of Rabbi Elimelech in Lizensk, Poland [Photo: יהונתן וואקסמאן]

Ohel of Rebbe Elimelech, Lizensk Poland [Photo: יהונתן וואקסמאן]

After Rebbe Elimelech passed away, Rebbe Reb Zisha of Hanipoli was approached by his brother’s students to be their new leader. Rabbi Zisha declined and explained his reason with a parable. “The possuk in Bereshis 2:10 states “And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden and from there it split into four paths.”

The Torah is eternal and alludes to all events above and below for all generations. Eden alludes to our holy master the Baal Shem Tov. The river was his student the holy Mezitcher Maggid. The garden refers to my brother the Rebbe Elimelech.

This then is the meaning: a river flows from Eden to water the garden, the Torah flows as water from the Baal Shem Tov by way of the Mezritcher Maggid to the Rebbe Elimelech. From there it separates into four paths: they are :

1.The Holy Rebbe the Chozeh or Seer of Lublin;

2.The Holy Rebbe Avodas Yisrael the Koznitzer Maggid;

3. The Holy Rebbe Mendel Rimanover; and

4.The Holy Ohev Yisrael the Apta Rav.

Stories of Noam Elimelech

The Light of The Rebbe’s Prayer Sash

related by the Rabbi of Madin, grandson of the Ropshitzer

Rebbe Elimelech had a custom that after the afternoon Mincha service he would converse with his close followers. He would then proceed to a special private room to pray the evening Maariv service alone in seclusion, purity and sanctity.

Rabbi Naftali Ropshitzer, a student of the Rebbe always yearned to also be in that room. He constantly wished to see the deeds of his Rebbe and how he prayed at that time. Once he stole into the room unnoticed and hid beneath the bed. The holy Rebbe entered and closed the door behind him. He took his “gartel,” the traditional sash or belt used by Hassidim for prayer and preceded to fasten it about himself.

The first time he wound the sash about his waist the whole house was filled with an awesome unbelievable light. The second time he tied the gartel winding it around, the light grew in intensity until the Ropshitzer could no longer endure it. He grew weak and found himself fainting. He called out in a loud voice.

Rebbe Elimelech heard the cries of distress coming from his student and recognized their source. “Naftali my son are you here?” the Rebbe asked. “Fortunately, you did not remain here for the third and final time I wound the gartel. If you had remained your soul would have surely left your body from the intensity of the great light. Therefore leave now.”

An unusual guest for Tea

related in the name of The Shinover Rebbe

The author of the Hasidic work Maor va’Shemesh was a student of the Rebbe Elimelech. Once he asked the Rebbe Elimelech to be allowed to serve him, thereby learning directly from his Rebbe. Rebbe Elimelech conceded and asked him for a cup of tea. After preparing the tea, the student entered the room to give it to the Rebbe. Inside he saw the awesome figure of an old man sitting beside Rebbe Elimelech. He was overcome by fear, trembling and shaking so much so that he dropped the cup spilling the tea on the floor and ran out.

Later Rebbe Elimelech saw his student and asked him why he hadn’t given him the tea he requested. He answered that he had brought it but when he saw the figure of the old man he was so frightened he spilled the tea. The Rebbe then said to him in Yiddish “Oy vey iz das kind voos ken nisht kiken dem taten in poonim arayn: Woe is to the child who cannot look his own father in the face.” That old man you saw was none other than our forefather Avraham peace be upon him!

Wisdom to the Wise

"He has imbued him with the spirit of God, with wisdom, with insight, and with knowledge, and with [talent for] all manner of craftsmanship" Vayakhel 35:31

The Midrash Rabbah states that Betzalel must have already possessed an extraordinary degree of wisdom even before he was blessed, for Hashem does not bestow wisdom upon an individual unless he is already wise.  This is as the verse states: "He gives wisdom to the wise" [Daniel 2:21]

To what can this be compared?  To a man who wanted to buy wine, oil, or honey, and walked into a store with an empty jug in hand.  If the storekeeper is intelligent, he does not have to ask the customer which of the three he wants to purchase.  All he needs to do is smell the man's jug; if it gives off the scent of wine, then he has come to purchase wine.  If, however, the scent is that of honey, then he has come to buy honey.

So it is with wisdom. When Hashem sees a person that has some wisdom, He fills him with more!

"And I will show wonders in the Heavens and on the earth" [Yoel 3:3]

Here are some 30second videos [click full screen for best viewing] and some photos of weather events, as well as weird halos and colours around the sun and the moon caused by the planet/sun behind our sun.  All of these events, giant shelf clouds, and other strange clouds are being brought to us by the "Nibiru" system.  None of the photos are photo-shopped, mostly they are stills taken from live videos on TikTok, filmed by ordinary people all over the world.

Rabbi Yuval Ovadia on "Planet X"

This is a re-posting from 2018.  Thank you Sherry for bringing it to my attention.  I think it is very relevant right now.  There's a lot more to come on this topic but for now, this is all I can manage.

The shiur includes the following information:

• Sources from the Torah and the Zohar
• This Star was seen in the war of Devorah and Sisera and will also be seen at the End of Days
• Which Rabbis have spoken about it, and why some Rabbis say it is nonsense
• The deliberate fake news and dates given on the internet purely to confuse people and cause them to think that it is not real, when it is in fact very real -  for example Obama Warns Americans
• It is not going to destroy the world
• Isaiah prophecies that those who try to escape by going into bunkers will just fall into another trap - they cannot run from Hashem 
• Rainbows, climate change, earthquakes, volcanoes, extreme weather
• How Gog u Magog will play out
• The government of Israel will stop functioning at the same time that Moshiach will be revealed
• The war against Moshiach ben David
• What kind of person Moshiach will be
• Nibiru is just a messenger of Hashem, we must do teshuvah [repent] - the effects of Nibiru are in our hands
• Moshiach is definitely coming soon and He will take the world into the new spiritual phase. 

Restoring Evil to Its Holy Source

"He forgives sins.... " [Ki Tisa 34:7]

The word for "forgive" here literally means "carry" or "lift". Based on this, the Baal Shem Tov taught that G-d elevates the sparks of holiness in the sin, for nothing - not even a sin - could exist unless it contained a spark of holiness. G-d returns them to their source. This is the essence of forgiveness.

Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi explained this idea as follows: It is indeed impossible to elevate a sinful act; such an act is evil, and the only proper treatment for it is to denounce it. 

In contrast, the power of desire vested in the act is not evil, for it is possible to utilize this power to desire good as well as evil. When we repent properly, we divest our power of desire of its veneer of evil and restore it to its holy source.

Purim 5783

Chag sameach everyone.  Sorry for the lack of posts, I haven't been feeling great lately, I think it is part of the suffering we all have to go through.

If you can't do much for Purim, at least give some tzadaka.  This can be done easily over the internet.  I know some people are homebound and may not even be able to hear the Megillah being read "live" and in person, unless they are fortunate enough to have someone come to their house and read it.

It seems a long time ago that I looked at a photo of a strange "planet" [moon?], seemingly covered in holes.  That same  planet is back again and starring in it's own cameo on the FAA Advisory camera.  It's part of the "Nibiru" system, and when I find out its name [someone has given them all names] I'll let you know.  

Why We Have Purim and Shushan Purim

 New shiur from Rabbi Mendel Kessin
