The Future Redemption

Note: Comments don't seem to be working at the moment, hopefully this problem will fix itself soon.

Parshat Nitzavim:

The future redemption: Moses warns of the exile and desolation of the Land that will result if Israel abandons G‑d’s laws, but then he prophesies that in the end, “You will return to the L‑rd your G‑d . . . If your outcasts shall be at the ends of the heavens, from there will the L‑rd your G‑d gather you . . . and bring you into the Land which your fathers have possessed.” 

The Talmud Talmud [Sanhedrin 97a–98a] mentions various signs to identify the generation in which Moshiach will arrive.

In that generation:

• Torah scholarship will be diminished. 
• There will be many troubles and difficult decrees. 
• The younger generation will not respect their elders. 
• There will be inflation in food prices. 
• The government will turn towards heresy (denying the Torah). 
• People will despair of the Redemption. 
• People will have no money left in their pockets (i.e., savings). 
• The Jewish people will not have supporters. 
• The generation will be either entirely righteous or entirely wicked. 
• There will be no fish available for purchase, even for sick people. 
• There will be no arrogant people left amongst the Jews. 
• There will be no judges or enforcers left amongst the Jewish people.

Under Water

We began the new 180 day "close pass" of the planets when September kicked off.   Looks like we're just getting started.

Toronto had a visitor yesterday -

Roads turned to rivers.

There's only one planet that turns the sky green, and that's Napisiti, the planet of the rain bombs and instant rivers. I couldn't download the video but I did a screenshot to show you the green sky. [Napisiti is the green planet, hence the green sky]

Here's a video, he's even telling you the sky is green. That cloud is the base cloud of the planet Napisiti.

Napisiti is one of the planets orbiting the second sun.  We've got 180 days of this kind of event.  Buckle up.

Here we have pink lightning.  Pink and purple lightning come from the passing planets.  

Maybe Moshiach will show up before we're all under water.

Here it is over Cleveland today, from News5 Cleveland.

The Hidden Time of the Redemption

 

"The hidden things belong to the Lord, our God, but the revealed things apply to us and to our children forever: that we must fulfill all the words of this Torah." [Nitzavim 29:28]

[Written by Rabbi Yisrael Bronstein]

In Maseches Sanhedrin [98a], R'Yehoshua ben Levi poses a question regarding a verse dealing with the eventual redemption of the Jewish people. The verse sates, "I am Hashem, in its time I will hasten it" [Yeshayahu 60:22]

Asks R'Yehoshua ben Levi: If the redemption will ultimately occur "in its time", then how can Hashem promise the Jewish people "I will hasten it"?

The answer, says the Gemara, is as follows: If the Jewish people will carry out the will of Hashem, then the redemption will, in fact, be hastened.  But if not, then the redemption will occur at its assigned time.

Chazal's words, said the Kesav Sofer [R'Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer, son of the Chasam Sofer] are alluded to in the above mentioned verse: "The hidden are for Hashem, our G-d" - if the Jewish people will not perform the will of Hashem, then the redemption will come at a fixed date, one that is ultimately hidden from us and known only to Hashem.  However, "the revealed are our and our children's [responsibility]" - if the Jews choose to follow the will of Hashem, then the redemption will arrive immediately.

The time of the redemption, therefore, can be revealed and known to the Jewish people, for it is something that can be determined by their actions.

Second Sun in the East

It's even setting in the East ....  people are noticing now ... this is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to us.  Sorry if I'm driving you nuts with this.  Sorry but not sorry.

Chai Elul

Art Baruch Nachshon

"Chai Elul" -- the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Elul -- is a most significant date on the Chassidic calendar. The founder of Chassidism, Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, was born on this date, in 1698. It is also the day, 36 years later, on which the Baal Shem Tov began to publicly disseminate his teachings, after many years as a member of the society of "hidden tzaddikim" during which he lived disguised as a simple innkeeper and clay-digger, his greatness known only to a very small circle of fellow mystics and disciples.

Elul 18 is also the birthday -- in 1745 -- of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, who often referred to himself as the Baal Shem Tov's "spiritual grandson" [Rabbi Schneur Zalman was the disciple of Rabbi Israel's disciple, Rabbi DovBer of Mezeritch]. After gaining fame as a child prodigy and young Talmudic genius, Rabbi Schneur Zalman journeyed to Mezeritch to study under the tutelage of the Baal Shem Tov's successor--as he later explained, "to study I knew somewhat, but I needed to learn how to pray"--and was soon accepted into the intimate circle of Rabbi DovBer's leading disciples. Rabbi Schneur Zalman established the "Chabad" branch of Chassidism, which emphasizes in-depth study and intense contemplation as the key to vitalizing the entire person, from sublime mind to practical deed.

Rosh haShanah on Shabbat : A Signal for the World

H/t Sherry

Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff

When Rosh haShanah falls on Shabbat, extra-ordinary things happen.  Rabbi Hajioff explains.

What can we expect?  

Rosh Hashanah 2026 falls on Shabbat, and Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff explains why this year carries such a powerful message. 

What is the real meaning of Rosh Hashanah? 

Why does the Torah describe it as a day of sounding the shofar rather than simply a “Day of Judgment”? 

And what does the shofar reveal about teshuvah, judgment, redemption and the year ahead? 

 In this conversation, Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff explores the deeper meaning of the shofar, the spiritual significance of listening, and the teaching that Rosh Hashanah is a microcosm of the entire coming year. 

 We discuss: 

 • Why the shofar is the central Torah mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah 

• The connection between listening, judgment and the scales of Rosh Hashanah 

• Why the shofar represents the inner cry of the Jewish soul 

• The shofar of Mount Sinai and the future shofar of redemption 

• The Rambam’s famous description of the shofar as a spiritual wake up call 

• Why one mitzvah can change a person and even impact the entire world 

• What Rosh Hashanah means for Jews who only come to synagogue once or twice a year 

• The remarkable lesson of Ishmael and “ba’asher hu sham” 

• Why a person is judged according to who they are right now 

• How teshuvah, tefillah and tzedakah can change a difficult decree 

• Why Rosh Hashanah 2026 falling on Shabbat is especially worth thinking about 

• A blessing for a sweet new year, redemption and the rebuilding of the Third Temple 

Rabbi Hajioff explains that Rosh Hashanah is not simply about fear. It is about renewal. It is the moment when we stop, listen, examine who we are and recognize that the coming year can still be changed. 

May we all be written and sealed for a Shana Tova U’Metuka, a good and sweet year filled with blessing, peace and redemption.
