“Before Moshiach Comes, Lomdei Torah Will Face Decree After Decree”


H/t Sherry

HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein wrote a letter of chizzuk to bnei yeshivos ahead of the start of Elul Zeman that was published in the Chareidi newspapers on Friday morning. 

HaRav Zilberstein wrote: “Chazal said at the end of Masechtas Kesuvos, ‘Rabi Zeira said that Rabi Yirmiyah bar Abba said, ‘There will be an accusations against Talmidei Chachamim in the generation in which Ben Dovid comes.’ And Rashi explained, ‘Accusation—many accusers and advocates of guilt will stand against them.’ And further on it says, ‘Affliction after affliction,’ and Rashi explained: ‘Decrees upon decrees.’ And it explains that before Bias Moshiach, there will be many accusations against Talmidei Chachamim, and accusers will stand to advocate guilt against them.”

“And we see this happening—that they are now coming out against bnei yeshivos and Talmidei Chachamim and accusing and inciting against them. They don’t understand that this Limmud Torah protects and saves the entire Jewish nation. And behold, the Torah says, ‘A thousand per tribe, a thousand per tribe’—corresponding with all the soldiers fighting on the physical battlefield, there must be Lomdei Torah who protect and conquer with their limmud—Torah protects and saves.” 

“We are currently experiencing a great tzara—that they want to pull bnei yeshivos away from their Torah and are even imprisoning some of them. Our tafkid is to be mechazeik ourselves, to engage in Torah and Gemilas Chassadim.” 

“Rabban shel Yisrael, HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, already said that the Galus is making its burden heavy upon us, and it is a great tzarah that Jews are persecuting Jews for Limmud Torah.” 

“And especially now, as Zeman Elul begins, we call on the bnei yeshivos: be strong and courageous, and don’t let your hearts weaken, and start the upcoming Zeman with all your strength and enthusiasm, and engage in Torah at all times and in every hour, without idle talk, and thereby you will be zocheh to be the true protectors of the entire Jewish nation.”

“And may we soon be saved with an everlasting salvation, and may all the evil decrees be revoked from all of Am Yisrael, and may you be zocheh to be inscribed לכתיבה וחתימה טובה.” 

“Your brother, who blesses you with love.”

Asteroids


"An ominous, fiery spiral appeared in the skies over Morocco — perfectly shaped, glowing, and unlike anything we’ve seen before. Natural phenomenon… or something else?"

So said Mrmbb333, the guy who likes a lot of initials and dramatic images.
He should know by now exactly what this is, but he pretends not to.  




Do you know what it is?

I've shown it to you before.....   it's an asteroid cloud, made by the Red Asteroid.  

You can clearly see it in Turkey prior to their earthquake.

There are quite a few giant colourful asteroids flying past us continually, we see them all the time, and they are HUGE.    Mostly, people are confused, because they are not being told the truth about these clouds.  No-one is officially telling us that giant asteroids are continually flying past us.  It's just a sample of Hashem's arsenal of "stones"  that can rain down at any time.

"​And I will judge against him with pestilence and with blood, and rain bringing floods, and stones of elgabish, fire, and brimstone will I rain down upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many peoples that are with him."  [Ezekiel 38:22]

Blessings in Disguise




"See! I am giving to you today a blessing and a curse" [Re'eh 11:26]

Hashem did not want the soul to eat "bread of shame" [i.e. sustenance given gratuitously, without having been earned by the recipient]; He therefore made it possible for man to serve Him in a meaningful way with toil of body and soul. Through our endeavors in avodah [service of G-d] we are Divinely enabled to earn all manner of goodness.

The difficulties, trials, and tests of life are themselves the means by which we are to attain our ultimate objective - that the soul achieve the lofty spiritual level it once possessed before it descended into the body: "The soul that you have given me is pure."  The purpose of life is for the soul to regain that level of original "purity" and even transcend it - for one hour of teshuvah [repentance] and good deeds in this world is worth more than all the lifetime of the spiritual World to Come [Olam HaBa].

So you see that life's trials, tragedies, and difficulties actually bring us closer to our goal, our raison d'etre; they are part of the Divine system of toil and endeavour enabling us, finite mortals, to reach the highest levels of rewards and goodness - which can only be earned by meaningful "labor" and effort.  It follows that one must not allow the difficulties of life's trials [or even one's failure from time to time] to overcome the double joy of being G-d's children and of having received His promise "Your people are all righteous".

Purple Skies, Double Halos and Intense Heat


Something strange lit up the night sky over Valparaiso, Indiana… not a flash, but a lingering purple glow that transformed the entire horizon. Locals had no explanation. No filter, this is the colour it became.

 



Two Different Countries… Same Exact Sky Phenomenon. What you’re looking at is NOT an ordinary sun halo. Two separate viewers — one in Canada and another in Jamaica — captured this massive, glowing ring in the sky.

Baba Sali promised: "Whoever does this, the gates of Heaven will open before him!"

 

H/t Sherry

Hebrew with English subtitles.  However, I have typed up a rough version of the text below.

 


A Jew from Haifa who had no children went to Netivot to see the Baba Sali on Rosh Chodesh. He did not know that on Rosh Chodesh there is no public reception with the Baba Sali because they would be having a feast on the eve of Rosh Chodesh.  It was the custom to travel to Jerusalem for prayers and a feast every Erev Rosh Chodesh.

So this Jew who has travelled on many buses to get there, turns up and knocks on the door of the Baba Sali. The Rebetzin answers the door. She explained to him that the Baba Sali does not accept visitors on Rosh Chodesh. The Jew became very upset and explained how far he had travelled and how he had no children and needed the Rav to bless him. So she allowed him to come in for a few minutes. 

He went into the Rav's room and saw the Rav was all organised to go to Jerusalem for Rosh Chodesh, the family was waiting downstairs and the driver was waiting in the car. 

He stood in front of the Baba Sali and the Baba Sali looked at him with his holy eyes and says 'what is it my son?' and he replied: I am childless and the doctors have said there is no hope. The Baba Sali told him to sit and then he asked the Rebetzin to bring him the first course of the meal she had prepared to take to Jerusalem. 

The Rebetzin couldn't understand it, the Rav had never delayed his trip to Jerusalem for Rosh Chodesh. Anyway, she didn't ask questions. She brought the first course of the meal in for the Rav and the visitor.

They begin to eat and the Baba Sali talked to him, made him laugh, then asked him what he did to try to have children. He said that there is nothing he has not tried and no prayer that he has not prayed, and that he's been to so many doctors, all of whom said there is no hope. He then started to cry. 

Then the Baba Sali signalled to his wife to bring the second course. She doesn't understand what is going on, they are late and it takes time to travel to Jerusalem and this has never happened before. The driver is still waiting downstairs, but no-one questions whatever the Baba Sali decides to do so no-one says anything. 

She brings the second course and the Baba Sali acts as if he has all the time in the world. Then he asks the Rebetzin to bring dessert. 

Then, taking his time, he finally blesses the Jew from Haifa that Hashem will help him to have children this year. The man was very happy, he kissed the Baba Sali's hand and then he left. 

At last, they all get in the car to drive, and the family asked the Baba Sali what delayed them so much. He replied that when he saw the man, and looked into his eyes, he saw that this man could not have children in this world, and I asked G-d to enlighten me how I could bless him with children. And He answered me that we need to make a change to the middot [character traits].

And I said no problem, the Rebetzin wants to leave quickly, everyone is waiting, but if they don't say anything and they change their middot, then there is a chance to give this Jew a child from a place he can never have. I asked for the first course and there was tension in the house, but no-one came up here. I asked for the second course and the tension rose but no-one said anything. 

When I asked for dessert I already saw that the gate for giving this man children was opening. When they accepted the change and the delay, the gate was opened, and I could give him the blessing. If all the gates are locked, we can open them by changing our middot .... if someone has something to complain about and he says "Lord of the World I accept your leadership, that's how you want it" at that moment  the gates will open.

He Who Sits in Heaven Laughs and Mocks Them


Extract of talk from the Lubavitcher Rebbe 5740 [1980]


Rabbi Yochanan quotes Shimon bar Yochai regarding the war of Gog u Magog.  


It seems like it is a terrible tragedy for the Jews but as it says in Sanhedrin and other sources  Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai said 'King David ran from his son Avshalom, and he exclaimed 'Ma raba tzorei' [how big are my problems]. Whereas on the passuk "Why do nations gather and people speak futility" he doesn't say "how big are my problems", but the opposite. 

On "yehugu rik" - speaking futility - Rashi and other commentaries explain that it's not tzorei/tragedy, it's Rik vehevel - futility. It has no meaning for the Jews. 

Goyim are fighting between themselves, gathering and talking, but it's all ineffective. Why?  Because He who sits in Heaven laughs and mocks them. 

Then comes the question: how should a Jew view this?  We have the decree from the Torah that even though nations are gathering and talking negatively, still for the Jews it has absolutely no meaning. But not because of our own strength G-d forbid, but because He who sits in Heaven laughs and mocks them.  And that's why it's not affecting the Jews.

They call it tragedy? G-d forbid! The nations come up with different ideas, but it's all Hevel Larik - futility. Why? Because Hashem is with us.

The fact that they are gathering.... Jewish people know it is all pointless. Because He who sits in Heaven laughs and mocks them.

He is not just notifying but he is mocking and laughing at them.

As it says "He who touches them, he is touching the apple of My eye" 

The story of Egypt, the story of Afghanistan. Another story, that fight, another fight. But in relation to Jews the Guardian of Israel "neither slumbers nor sleeps".  Why? Because Jews are connected with the Guardian of the Jews.

Then he sees in a revealed way, that Hashem in Heaven laughs and mocks them. And the war of Gog  u Magog is not affecting the Jewish people. Gog is fighting with Magog and it says in Tanach that it will be in Jerusalem, but that has nothing to do with the Jewishness in Jerusalem, and not in the city of Jerusalem, rather it's around Jerusalem. The Jews are standing strong because Jerusalem is a city where King David lived and the name Yerushalayim comes from the words "Yiras Hashem shleimah" which means "complete fear of G-d".

And Jews who are complete G-d fearing people bring it into actuality, and the city of Jerusalem will stay untouched. 

The nations are "utsu eitza" - contriving a scheme - but when the Jewish children behave in a manner of "ki imanu kel" - "G-d is with us" - then "dabru davar velo yakum" - their conspired plot will not be materialized.

Why Israel is Driving the World Crazy

Alistair Heath, editor of the Sunday Telegraph in Britain, explains what lies behind the automatic opposition to Israel in most Western countries.




[Text]


There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is. 

They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is. 

A nation this small should not be this strong. Period. 

Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.

And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow. 

In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will. 

They turn desert into farmland. 

They make water from air. 

They intercept rockets in mid-air. 

They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes. 

They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win. 

The world watches this and can’t make sense of it. 

So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand. 

They assume it must be cheating. 

It must be American aid. 

It must be foreign lobbying. 

It must be oppression. 

It must be theft. 

It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power. 

It must be blackmail. 

Because heaven forbid it’s something else. 

Heaven forbid it’s real. 

Heaven forbid it’s earned. 

Or worse, destined. 

The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength. 

That’s not normal. 

It’s not political. 

It’s biblical. 

There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.

There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence. 

And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv. 

Israel doesn’t make sense. 

Unless you believe in something beyond the math. 

This is what drives the world crazy. 

Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all. 

Maybe He’s still in the story. 

Maybe history isn’t random. 

Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word. 

Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony. 

That’s what they can’t stand. 

Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal. 

So they deny it. 

They smear it. 

And rage against it. 

Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises.

And He’s keeping them still.

Gog u Magog Upcoming

Australia has announced that it WILL support a Palestinian State. Well there's a surprise !

He's been dying to say that for weeks.  No surprise because he is best friends with Abbas as of last week.  

I don't know how many countries have officially declared their ill-feelings towards Israel, but we seem to be inching closer and closer to the Gog Magog scenario when the world turns on Israel.

This is what Bibi had to say to a journalist, regarding Australia's attitude, prior to Australia's announcement that they would accept a P. State.


Sky Talk


We're coming up to a very exciting time which is the second half of August and September, because the things that will be happening above our heads are getting more and more intense.

The planets that are passing by Earth, spinning around between earth and the sun, are now visible directly above us.  That is why Brisbane Australia looked like this on July 31 - blue stripes everywhere covering the entire sky.  That is the atmosphere of the planet Napisiti.





Everything we were taught about the solar system is probably wrong.  According to what we know, something like this is impossible, and if other planets came this close, earth would be wiped out.
Well, they are this close, and we're all still here.  

The weather... however.... is absolutely off the charts.

One minute you have a normal day, and the next your entire house is flooded and the street is a river. That is something that didn't happen prior to the arrival of the planets.  A rain bomb from Napisiti will turn the streets into a river in five minutes.  Check out this video and see the insane lightning [which is courtesy of the planet Atu - the purple planet] and the floods which followed.  Most of these things are not reported on mainstream news, just on their local news.  You have NO IDEA how many countries have been flooded out lately.  



These passing planets are Hashem's tools to cause the destructive weather on earth.   They are spinning around their sun, which is bigger than our sun, and that is why parts of the world have been so hot this year.  They drifted over into our view, and that is why the Sumerians named Nibiru the "Planet of the Crossing" because it crosses over with us approximately every 3600 years, give or take a few hundred, no-one is actually sure of the exact figure.

However, the internet is full of false information about Nibiru, and it is generally regarded as nonsense and fiction, because that is what they want you to think.  Meanwhile most of the world sees the changes in the sky but don't realize what they are actually seeing. Because they've been brainwashed to believe that a planet looks like an obvious round circle in the sky.... but it doesn't.... all planets are surrounded by their atmosphere.  Each planet has a different kind of atmosphere and different shaped clouds and colours, that is how we can recognise them.   Earth also has it's own atmosphere and when viewed from afar, it is also surrounded by clouds.

The Trait of Arrogance

וְלֹא תָבִיא תוֹעֵבָה אֶל בֵּיתֶךָ 
Nor should you bring an abomination into your house [Eikev 7:26]


The verse teaches us, noted R' Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, just how despicable the trait of arrogance truly is.  It is so abhorred that one is forbidden to even allow a haughty individual to enter his home.

We learn this from a verse in Mishlei: ''Every haughty heart is the abomination of Hashem'' [Mishlei 16:5]

We see, therefore, that a haughty individual is referred to as an ''abomination'', about which our verse explicitly states:  "And you must not bring an abomination into your home''.

The Strength of the Sun Weakens




Tu B’Av - which begins tonight [Friday] - is just 45 days before the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. 

In his 18th-century chasidic work, Rabbi Avraham Dov Auerbach of Avritch explains the special relationship between Tu B’Av and the period leading up to Rosh Hashanah.

And it appears to me according to that which I heard in the name of the great Maggid, may his memory be blessed for life in the world to come [it is brought in the Ohr HaMeir, at the beginning of the teaching on Rosh Hashanah]: 

As he said, "Before the sun darkens (techshach)" [Ecclesiastes 12:2]" - that [corresponds to] the fifteenth of Av. 

As the letters of techshach are [the same as] tash koach (strength weakens). And on the fifteenth of Av, the strength of the sun weakens, as it is found in the Talmud [Taanit 31a]…

Remember Who We Are Now


The Australian PM is "seeking a Netanyahu call" after Sydney's "Palestine" march on Sunday.  He wants to tell Bibi that Israel must support the "two state solution". 

Yes, the Australian PM is an idiot.

Bibi will chew him up and spit him out.


Meanwhile, this is what Caroline Glick had to say back in May, to the UK, France and Canada, on the same subject:


Go Shove It You sanctimonious, hypocritical cowards. How dare you threaten the one Jewish state on earth—after everything your nations did to us. You dare speak of “humanitarian values” while standing on piles of Jewish bones your ancestors buried beneath cobblestones, cathedrals, and charters of “civilized” nations.

Britain Oh, Britain. The empire that carved up the Middle East with a pencil and a gin-and-tonic. You issued the Balfour Declaration and then slammed the door on Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. You handed chunks of Jewish land to Arab monarchs and let Jews die in the Holocaust rather than let them enter your precious Mandate. You interned Holocaust survivors in Cyprus like they were criminals. And now you’re wagging your colonial finger at Jews for building homes on our ancestral hills? Go shove your royal hypocrisy back into Buckingham Palace and deal with your own collapsing society—where knife crime, antisemitism, and Islamic extremism are more common than fish and chips. 

France Liberté, égalité, fraternité—unless you’re a Jew. You deported over 75,000 Jews to their deaths during the Holocaust with the full cooperation of the French Vichy regime. You let them be shoved into cattle cars from the Vel d’Hiv while Parisians watched. And after the war? No justice. No reckoning. Just decades of indifference and empty words. Today, Jews are being stabbed in the streets of France, synagogues are under military guard, and you still have the audacity to lecture us about morality? You couldn’t defend your own republic from a gang of jihadists in a van, but now you want to dictate how Israel defends itself from genocidal terrorists hiding behind human shields? You are morally bankrupt and culturally collapsing. Go lecture someone else while your republic burns. 

Canada Oh Canada—America’s cold, smug, spineless cousin. Your “moral high ground” is a snow-covered hill of lies. You locked Jewish refugees out during the Holocaust. The ship St. Louis begged for your mercy. You sent them back—to die. “None is too many,” your officials said. That’s your legacy. Your history. And today, your politicians pose for photo ops in mosques that glorify martyrs while denouncing Israel for fighting genocidal killers. You’ve turned your universities into Hamas fan clubs and your Parliament into a circus of virtue signaling. You host terrorists in suits and call it diplomacy. You abandoned the Jews when we were stateless, and now you want to punish us for defending our state? 

Here’s Our Response: 
We’re not the broken, stateless Jews of 1942. We’re the sovereign people of Israel—armed, aware, and unapologetic. Your sanctions are a joke. Your threats are meaningless. Your moral lectures are garbage. We don’t need your permission to live. We don’t need your validation to fight. You allowed Jewish blood to soak your soil for centuries. Now that Jews fight back, build, thrive—you clutch your pearls? Israel doesn’t need your empty Western democracy. We have something older, holier, and stronger: truth, covenant, survival. Go shove your resolutions where the sun doesn’t shine. 

We’re not going anywhere. And next time you dare threaten the Jewish state— Remember who we are now.

The Harmful Spirits Flee


by Rabbi David Hanania Pinto


"And write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates" [Va'etchanan 6:9]

The mitzvah of mezuzah is well-known segulah for protecting the home from evil mishaps, destructive spiritual impediments, and harmful spirits.

The sefarim write that the word 'מזזות', mezuzot, can be re-arranged to form two words, 'זז-מות'. Chazal say (Shabbat 32a) that for the sin of not placing a mezuzah on one's doorpost, one's children may die r"l, but one who is careful with mezuzah, 'זז מות', 'death moves away' from his home.

This is the reason, writes the 'Sha'ar Bat Rabim', for writing the Name 'שד-י' on the outside of the mezuzah. 'שד-י' is an acronym for 'שומר דלתות ישראל', 'He guards the doors of Yisrael'. When they see Hashem's Holy Name written on the outside of the mezuzah, all harmful spirits and impediments are subdued and flee from this doorway.

The Vision of Isaiah




A commentary on the Haftarah for Shabbat Chazon 


by Yitzi Hurwitz 

On the Shabbat before Tisha B’Av, called Shabbat Chazon, we read the haftorah that begins with the words: “Chazon Yeshayahu” [vision of Isaiah].

The haftorah ends: “Zion will be redeemed with justice, and its captives, with tzedakah.”

The question is: Who or what is Zion? And who are the captives?

Some simply translate Zion to refer to Jerusalem, and the captives are the Jewish people. Others understand Zion to be the Jewish people. But if so, then who are the captives?

The answer is that Zion refers to Jews who study Torah and do the mitzvahs, and the captives are Jews who are not involved in Torah and mitzvahs. They are called captives because they have surrendered their will to their bodies and their “animal souls.” So-called Zion Jews are redeemed with justice because they earned it. However, the captive Jews are redeemed with tzedakah because they otherwise can’t be redeemed.

We are told that in the end, all Jews will repent and immediately be redeemed. This is an act of kindness, of tzedakah.

As Jews, we know that our bodies can be subjected to exile. Our G‑dly souls, however, cannot.

Even when the soul is sent down to influence the body and the physical world since it is an actual part of G‑d, it is not affected by the dark concealment it experiences. On the contrary, the darkness and the exile cause the soul to bring out hidden strength that had been lying dormant, strengthening its connection with G‑d.

The body, on the other hand, is subject to the harsh conditions and darkness of the exile. G‑d put us in this great darkness so we can transform the darkness into light.

While the soul is strengthened because of the darkness, it doesn’t directly affect the darkness. However, the body, through fulfilling G‑d’s will in the exile, changes the darkness into light. This light is greater than the light of the soul. It is Hashem’s will, His very essence, which is the greatest light possible.

This brings us to yet a third explanation of our verse. Zion refers to our bodies, and v’shaveha [which we had translated as “captives,” but can also mean “returnees”] refers to our souls.

The soul is not subject to the exile. Being in the body, which is in exile, is merely a matter of being in the wrong place. It doesn’t need redemption; all it needs is to return.

The body will be redeemed with justice because it suffered in exile and did the work, and so it rightfully earned its redemption.

The neshamah, which did not suffer in exile, returns as a kindness, a tzedakah. It did influence the body, and so it comes along and receives the greatest revelation through the body: the body’s reward for its physical work in the dark exile, the revelation of G‑d’s essence.

Now we can understand the first words of the haftorah: “Chazon Yeshayahu.” Chazon means the vision, and the name Yeshayahu comes from the word yeshuah, which means “redemption.” Our haftorah is telling us that specifically during times of darkness, which the Three Weeks and Tisha B’Av symbolize, is where you can accomplish the vision of the redemption.

We will experience this great revelation with the coming of Moshiach. May He come soon.
