The Effects of an Eclipse

"The Rebbe's Treasure: Interpretations of Talmudic Stories"

The Talmud [Sukah 29a] states that eclipses are bad signs for the world. The Talmud then elaborates on what can cause an eclipse:

An eclipse of the sun occurs for the following four reasons: For not having eulogized a chief judge (a chief judge is comparable to the sun, for he enlightens and clarifies things for the community - Maharsha); for not having helped a betrothed maiden when she called for help (to save her from ill treatment); for committing adultery and for killing two brothers on the same day.

Because of the following four reasons the moon and the stars eclipsed:

For committing forgery, for false witnesses, for raising sheep and goats in the land of Israel (that is, for letting goats and sheep pasture from other people's fields - Rashi), and for cutting down fruit-bearing trees.

The Shaloh [Noach p.274b] explains that seeing the lunar eclipse implies a bad sign. Hashem would ascertain that the Jews would see it if they were sinning. However, if they were not sinning, Hashem would darken the sky so that the eclipse would not be visible.

This interpretation is not satisfactory, for the Talmud states: "For the following reasons an eclipse occurs and not an eclipse is seen". The very occurrence of an eclipse is a consequence of the aforementioned sins and not the sight of the eclipse. Furthermore, in cloudless locations such as Egypt [see Rashi Vayigash 47:10 and Vaera 7:17] the Jews would always be capable of seeing the eclipse regardless of their behaviour.

The Rebbe's Commentary:

How can we say that something as natural and predictable as an eclipse can have an affect on people's welfare? Furthermore, how can we say that the actions of people can provoke the occurrence of something that takes place as regularly and naturally as an eclipse?

It is a wellknown fact that Torah scholars had a vast knowledge of science in general and astronomy in particular. Astronomy was very important for the Jews in order to establish the calendar and proclaim the new months. Even great non-Jewish individuals would ask the Rabbis scientific questions. Therefore, we cannot say that the Rabbis were uttering nonsense when it came to the subject of the eclipse.

Mazal - or constellation - occurs when the stars are in a certain position. Some days or times are auspicious for a good mazal, others are known to be times in which misfortune could happen, G-d forbid, due to the unfavorable mazal. So at certain moments, the mazalot can have influence on the people. Even the day on which one is born has an influence on his characteristics (Shabbat 126a). Therefore, specific mazalot provide people with good or bad tendencies. (Nevertheless, the Rambam in Hilchot Teshuva 5:4 says that a person is not controlled by his natural tendencies and he has the power to change them)

During the time of an eclipse, the stars are in a position that can have a bad influence on the people. At such a time, the four aforementioned sins are more readily transgressed! For this reason the eclipse is a bad sign for the Jews, because they are more likely to sin than at some other time. As a result, they might be punished. Hence it is not our actions that cause the eclipse, but rather the eclipse that can alter our actions, triggering a heavenly punishment.

Therefore, if Jews are doing Hashem's will, the effects of the eclipse will not concern them. Chazal even say that we should not worry about the influence of stars if we do what Hashem wants. For as long as we do not let the bad mazal alter our actions, we do not deserve any punishment.

Jews are not limited by the boundaries of nature, including the celestial bodies. We have the power to change our mazal by doing good deeds. Our mazal depends on our actions and our prayers.

The Effects of an Eclipse

Tomorrow - April 20 - there will be a total hybrid solar eclipse over Western Australia. 

A hybrid eclipse is a rare type of solar eclipse that changes its appearance as the Moon's shadow moves across the Earth's surface.

The Eclipse has Changed Course

So the solar eclipse has changed it's course.  

New calculations have slightly shifted the eclipse's path of totality - calculations which were published just a week before the event.

Some are saying it's because of the pole shift, and they're quoting Isaiah 24:20

"The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again."

Forbes tells you here why the original path is suddenly wrong, and here you can find the new revised path. Also see Did the 2024 Eclipse Path Change?

Now if you look at the information given in the article from the NYPost below, they are saying that the sun is actually BIGGER than we thought.    Well, I know it's bigger, it has a darker circle around it that wasn't there before - and that's because there's another sun behind it, like I've told you for a long time now.  [but they won't tell you that, they are just coming up with their measurements nonsense]

From the NY Post

Irwin’s collaborator, Luca Quaglia, explained to Forbes that he believes their projection is more precise because they used a more accurate measurement of the sun and moon instead of widely used figures that are based on  calculations of the sun’s size that has been used since the 1800s. 

“Measurements and observations in the last decade have demonstrated that [the traditional measurement of the sun] is slightly too small,” said Quaglia, adding “There is evidence that the solar radius has changed over the centuries.”He also maintained that the jagged edges of the Moon’s topography, which have now been exactly calculated by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, would narrowly impact the path of totality, 

Still, there was no guarantee that the new measurements are completely precise. “How far outside the eclipse limits the solar corona ceases to be visible is anyone’s guess,” said Quaglia. “There is no experimental data to back any distance up.” 

I don't even know what that last paragraph means, but I think it means we should expect the unexpected.

There's also many people saying that the moon's shadow cannot eclipse the sun because the moon will be in the wrong position to do so.... which means that something ELSE is going to be covering the sun and that is why all their calculations have been thrown out at the last minute, so to speak.  

The following text has been cut and pasted by many people in various places, I don't even know who originally wrote it or edited it, but a couple of names appear at the end.

The fact that agencies have to make a new map with a new route without giving explanations is disturbing, and the answer to this is because in the last week the poles re-accompanied in their continuous ramblings, this settles the doubt as to why so much tremor and earthquake.

You just don't change the solar eclipse path map suddenly a week before it happens. You just don't move West that far like that and claim a mistake was made. Mistakes this big just don’t happen.  Not with the technology we have today. What a ridiculous statement. How absurd. Billions of dollars have been made in preparations.

We've been warning about changing poles for years. And now we're on the cusp of it. We've passed the 400 degree mark and are approaching the 410 degree mark.. A wider Earth tremor was even reported with last months report on March 3, 2024

You know what I think changed, it wasn't the data, everything is suddenly going out of orbit.. That's what."Mike from all over the world" just said last Friday that the Sun is swinging. He called him an evil shimmy. And not in a funny way. He is being hit by an outside influence. A Disturber. It has also confirmed in the past that the moon is out of orbit. He said all planets are being affected by what is coming, as are other researchers. And if that's the case, the Earth is also being affected.

How many people have said the Sun and Moon and even the stars are not in the right place for the past year, countless have done it in my comment section. Farmers and gardeners have reported.This was predicted 2700 years ago by the Prophet Isaiah. The Earth will shake like a drunkard. Isaiah 24:20.The World Economic Forum warned in 2022 that a Pole Shift is one of their biggest concerns, and the U.S. Air Force warned in a 2015 report that we are not ready for it. Multiple organizations online and on YouTube are warning about this.

The destroyer is coming. That's what Mike's been warning about. The Disturber. The incoming binary system. The Sun twin. And now it's ringing the louder alarm than ever. The effects are being felt. Jet streams and weather and seasons are completely out of control. Sea surface temperatures continue to break records, and we had the hottest year on record in 2023 and heat records are still being broken to this day.No wonder the National Guard has been activated and deployed along with HAZMAT, FEMA teams and the state of emergency declared across America. I'm not saying anything is going to happen, but they sure are pretty prepared just in case. None of this has taken place before for a total solar eclipse. Why now ?

It all adds up. Everything that is happening in the whole world is for what is coming. And this last-minute change of the eclipse's path to the west is screaming it. Like Mike just said, I don't think we're in the last days, I think we are in the last hours.Taken from John Trazyck and "Mike Around The World".

Celestial Events from Purim Onwards

Did you know there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on Purim ?   Penumbral means that it will be "shadowy" - not clearly visible.

We all know about the total Solar Eclipse on April 8 but apparently a solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.  

So Purim is the hard-to-see lunar eclipse and Rosh Chodesh Nissan is the total solar eclipse.  Between those two things, we have the date of 25 Adar II where we hope to see the "devil comet" which may be the Kochav Yaakov.    Then, on first night Pesach [two weeks after the solar eclipse] we have the devil comet at perihelion [closest point to the sun].  

I am wondering what else is going to happen during all of this.  

We know there is a second sun behind our sun, and I've heard from Sam Hofman that we are going to have "separation" of the two suns at some point.  In other words, the second sun is going to emerge from behind our sun.   It would be perfect timing to have this occur while everyone's eyes are looking up at the all these events.  Wouldn't that confuse people..... a second sun emerging .... wishful thinking maybe.

Just to tie all this together, we have a timeline given by Ari Goldwag for a Nissan Geula.  

All of this is "wait and see" because there's not much more we can do at this stage.  

In the meantime, I'll show you some photos and videos that I meant to put up yesterday, but too many things were going on in my life and I didn't have time.

Blood Moon Rising

This Total Lunar Eclipse or "Blood Moon", is on April 4, 2015 and will be visible in most of North America, South America, Asia and parts of Australia. The Moon will be totally eclipsed (totality) for about 5 minutes. From beginning to end, it will last for 3 hours and 29 mins. This is the third eclipse in the 2014–2015 tetrad.

Blood Moon: Total Lunar Eclipse

Red moons and lunar eclipses are not good for the Jews. To understand the reasons why this is the case, see: Effects of an Eclipse

This month's full moon will pass almost directly through the center of Earth's shadow on Wednesday (June 15) in what will be an unusually long total eclipse of the moon.

More at: Lunar Eclipse June 15 and Space.com

The June 15 total lunar eclipse will be visible to observers in Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. It is said that this eclipse will be one of the darkest eclipses ever. It will be second only to the July 16, 2000 total lunar eclipse.

Rosh haShanah Eclipse

On Oct. 2, 2024, an annular solar eclipse will pass over parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. 

During an annular solar eclipse, the moon drifts in front of the sun while it's slightly farther from Earth than during a total solar eclipse, so it doesn't completely cover the sun's disc. Instead, it leaves a distinct ring of light around the moon, which is why an annular solar eclipse is also known as a "ring of fire" solar eclipse. 

At the point of greatest eclipse in the Pacific, the moon will obscure 93% of the sun's center, creating a "ring of fire" visible for 7 minutes and 25 seconds.

Video: Rabbi Simon Jacobson 

Some of life's greatest lessons can be derived (learned, gleaned) from the cosmos. We can learn much from just looking up at the heavens (sky) and watching the celestial bodies in space. This is especially true for the moon, which has always mesmerized the human race. Its close proximity to earth, its haunting glow, its phases and effects on our tides and plants -- have fed science, religion and folklore, and our quest to better understand ourselves and the world in which we live. 

During the night of the full moon this month (on July 27/the 15th of Av) the longest total lunar eclipse of the century will fill the sky (it won't be visible in North America, but most of the Eastern Hemisphere will see it). Totality will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes! 

Please join Rabbi Jacobson for this special full moon edition, and learn fascinating lessons - personal, spiritual and psychological - (personal, spiritual and psychological lessons from this historic lunar eclipse. Discover the deeper meaning of the moon as an archetype reflected in each one of us, and how the lunar cycles and eclipses illuminate and teach us extraordinary personal, spiritual and psychological lessons for our lives and our relationships. 

Total Eclipse Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5784

 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.  [Joel 3:4]

We've had a lot of information about Geula taking place in Nissan this year.  So I was very excited to learn that on April 8 - which corresponds to Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5784 - there will be a Total Solar Eclipse and the sun will go dark.  

The moon turns red during a lunar eclipse, but lately we haven't been having lunar eclipses and the moon has been a myriad of colours, notably this bright pink the other night in Queensland Australia.

The sun has also gone dark at other times, and it has nothing to do with an eclipse. This happens when one of the planets blocks the sun for a minute or so.

Actual photo of the full moon in Queensland about 10 days ago.

Where to see the Blood Moon Eclipse

In Australia we will not see a red moon, although most other parts of the world will see some of it.   The following regions will see all or part of the eclipse: Europe, South/West Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica. Click here for a map of where the moon will appear blood red tonight.

Wishing you all a chag sameach and happy moon-watching.

Total Lunar Eclipse: Super Blue Red Moon

On Wednesday night we will see an eclipse of the moon, the second full moon for the month, making it a ''blue'' moon, which will turn red.

Super Red/Blue Moon

At the end of January, we are going to see a red blue moon.  

A blue moon is the term used when one month contains two full moons.  However, this time it coincides with a total lunar eclipse, which will turn the moon a deep red colour.

According to Space.com the total lunar eclipse on January 31 will be the first time an event of this kind has coincided with the Blue Moon in over 150 years.

Ain Od Milvado

"There are three matters that come only by means of diversion from attention of those matters, and these they are: The Moshiach, a lost item, and a scorpion." Sanhedrin 97a [Source]

The scorpion is Hamas, and now we await Moshiach.

I feel that the fact it was exactly 50 years since the 1973 Yom Kippur war - and both wars were surprise attacks - is a sure sign of the Hand of Hashem here.  

Rabbi Kessin says we are at the 50th level of Tumah.... and the window is almost closed.....I didn't think the world could exist at the 50th level, but there's that number 50 again.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. [Yoel 3:4]

There is a "ring of fire" eclipse of the sun on October 14, and a lunar eclipse on October 28, when the moon is likely to turn red.

However, the moon has been red and orange quite a lot lately, in various parts of the world, and at various times of the night. 

This is not a normal world war, this war includes mini-wars inside many countries where Jews and Jihadists live.  It's already started here.  

Everyone will see that there is nowhere to turn - except to Hashem.  It's not going to take too long, the way it's playing out.

Ancient Prophecy: Convergence of Lunar Eclipse With Tu B’Shvat Signals End of Ishmael’s Reign

BD"E

I sat on a roof and watched the moon eclipse over Sydney Harbour early Shabbat morning. It was the most amazing sight, and I watched it for over an hour.

It seemed fitting that the moon would eclipse as my father Mordechai ben Menachem ob''m had passed away only hours earlier.

I will be sitting Shiva this week.

Super Moon Time

I remember a few years ago, I was driving one evening and nearly crashed the car when I saw the moon coming up,  it was so huge I couldn't take my eyes off it. I had to park the car and just stare at it.

It's going to be like that tonight, and tomorrow night : a Super Harvest Blood Moon - and a partial Lunar Eclipse !  

It's going to be huge, closest to the Earth and it will appear 13% larger and brighter, which means it will be extremely bright. Apparently it will also be reddish in colour.

Here are some instructions on how to see this Super Moon

The last time the moon turned red, I saw it with my own eyes, although the moon was quite far away and just a small red dot in the sky.  This time the moon will be much closer to us, and as the weather is fine here I'm hoping for an amazing sight.
