As it's over 3 hours long, I obviously haven't listened to it yet. Will try and listen today on and off.

Thank you Abraham, I'm just starting to listen, so I'll consider what you've said when I've heard a bit more.
I'm halfway thru the lecture.
One thing he said was that if Moshiach had come in the 70s [5770-5779] it would have been peacefully. [that's what I said regarding the Lubavitcher Rebbe's prediction that Gog u Magog would not affect the Jews.... he was talking about a time when Moshiach would come earlier.]
But we are now in the 80's - 5784 - and it's not happening in a peaceful way.
Someone left a comment here just after the Oct 7 attack and said some of the Hamas terrorists were speaking Farsi, which is the Persian language. Obviously they were Iranians, not Arabs who speak Arabic. Rabbi Anava also mentions this, as well as many other anomalies.
But maybe just maybe...Hashem will have rachamim on us if enough of us do teshuva....we don't know what the end plan is...we can't lose hope. I'll admit things aren't looking great and I'm worried and at times overwhelmed, because I live in Eretz Yisroel and my sons are all soldiers...2 are currently stationed and the third is deploying in a few weeks. But I keep reminding myself like the purim story when things look so grim and hopeless.... Hashem is running this world and in the blink of an eye it can all turn to good. This is the final redemption...I think and I hope, we are going to see a similar miracle like Purim. Let's use our thoughts and words to make things a positive reality. Our thoughts become our words and our speech becomes reality...we manifest our destiny with our thoughts.....the Rebbe used to say... " trucht gut an ich vil zein gut" think good and it will be good!!! We have the ability to turn things around at any moment with our tefillot. Let's bring positivity and light into this dark world, instead of negativity and hopelessness....I firmly believe Hashem will have rachamim on his children, every Jew has suffered enough already...even the secular ones. You don't see what I see here on the ground women who weeks ago wouldn't accept candles, taking them with a smile...men who don't even have tefillin begging for tefillin and tzitzet, girls on social media ripping up the not modest clothing...there is so much incredible beauty and unity in the pain suffering and darkness...let's capitalise on that...do something productive to change our reality and manifest a beautiful geulah from this point forward. Hand out candles, put tefillin on men and boys....donate to the funds that are providing these things...that's tzedakah and it help to avert a gezairah, a harsh decree.but above all think good thoughts daven powerful tefillot, talk to Hashem, he's listening....we can change this for the good. Shabbat Shalom, Shabbat Menucha!!

Something is wrong with him. He has changed - and not for the good. :-(
thank you 'nothing' those are powerful words!
Devorah Chayah, he's angry, but he's been angry in other videos. This time he has a reason to be. I listened to the entire thing, and I'll write something tomorrow. He clarified quite a lot of things for me.
I think he’s realized the importance of being true to himself. His life has been a process of teshuva. What you are seeing now is true teshuva in my opinion. He has been more expressive in his videos as time progressed, which includes sometimes being angry. He is channeling his life force to holiness instead of suppressing it.
Hi Devorah Chaya. Read your blog and resonate with it. Don’t understand why you would make a public critical statement about Rav Anava without clarifying what disturbs you I watched his film and felt it was totally without any ego or agenda and just to help klal Yisrael.
I feel he has been very transparent and makes much mesirat nefesh in various efforts and campaigns to bring klal Yisrael to be close to Hashem and with the truth.
And I think you want the same thing too, which is why it escapes me that you criticize him publicly here without explaining ….don’t those on the side of good and emmet want to do what we can to get along and stick together even if we might differ here and there?
Because I had too much to say, I made a new post to say it:
Thoughts and Notes
I didn't view the video due to the necessity of logging in via privacy-invading google.
Re: terrorists speaking Farsi, they are true Amalek. I.E. a marriage of Esav (Aryan-Iran) and Yishmael (Soul of Iran) which is supposed to be the worst, isn't it?
Secondly, can someone confirm this:
I guess all of you heard by now about the miracle of Tifrach in the Negev having been spared. The official account states that the terrorists stopped, heard the thousand yeshiva men singing and dancing for Simchat Torah, and then continued on their way instead of entering Tifrach. But i heard from someone (who said she heard from someone else) that one of the terrorists was questioned as to why they didn't enter Tifrach, and he replied that it's because they saw alot of soldiers.
FYI i once read a similar story but much smaller scale. From my murky memory, the story went something like this: There was a policeman in Yerushalayim who caught sight of what looked like a terrorist about to harm someone. He rushed to catch up with him, but by then, the terrorist had let the guy get away. The policeman queried him about it, and the terrorist responded, "Didn't you see those armed men? I didn't dare start up with him". The thing is - the policeman hadn't seen any armed men, which means they had to have been guardian angels.
M.M.
Hi Devorah
This comment below in quotes was from me. Call me "Searching". so the anonymous doesn't get confusing..
I actually meant me question for Tomer Devorah, I know it's confusing since you are both Devorah. Just trying to understand why Devorah Chaya takes issue with Rabbi Anava. It doesn't make sense to me. He seems very aligned with what her general outlooks that I agree with. Thanks both Devorahs for your wonderful blogs and dedication,
