The Geula Bloggers' Dilemma

Do Geula Blogs Prevent Geula ????

Three things come when the mind is occupied otherwise: Moshiach . ... [Sanhedrin 97a]

The Maggid of Dubno : the Zohar even states that it is not God’s will to reveal the arrival date of the Moshiach, but when the date draws near, even children will be able to make the calculation (Bereishis 118a).

A Tzaddik Decrees

"He shall not desecrate his word; according to whatever comes from his mouth shall he do" [Matos 30:3]

Rashi explains: "Lo yacheil devaro" - [This has the same meaning] as 'he shall not profane [yechalel] his word' [that is] he shall not make his words mundane."

On this verse, R' Menachem Mendel of Kosov remarked: When an individual is careful to speak only of holy matters and consistently avoids speaking of mundane matters, then Hashem rewards him by fulfilling the man's blessings or prayers.  Thus, Chazal asserts "A tzaddik decrees and HaKadosh Baruch Hu fulfills".

This idea, concluded the Rebbe, is hinted at in the verse "Lo yacheil devaro" - A person who does not make his words profane merits reaching the level where "according to whatever comes from his mouth He will do" - A tzaddik decrees and HaKadosh Baruch Hu fulfills."

Living on the Edge, Literally

Residents of Kingscliff Beach in N.S.W. are watching their backyards falling into the sea.  Whilst erosion has long been a problem there, the ocean's intensity of late has caused the problem to magnify with six metres of parkland being lost in the past week.

Months of sandbagging and shoring up the beach with sand from nearby Cudgen Creek has amounted to nothing as erosion continues to swallow large chunks of land at an ever-increasing rate on Kingscliff beach.

Several tourists at Kingscliff Beach Tweed Coast Holiday Park have been forced to relocate, with the park losing 6m of land in the past week, including 4m on Tuesday night when a mature pandanus tree and Norfolk pine crashed to the beach.

Tweed Shire Council officers are scrambling to shore up what is remaining of the beach ahead of tomorrow's full moon and associated king tides, with further sandbagging expected to take place in front of the caravan park and Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club.

Audio: Obama in Bible Codes

I haven't listened to this yet: Tamar Yonah interviews Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson on Israel National Radio

What does it say in the Bible about U.S. President Obama and what he will do regarding Israel?  Is he 'The One' to fill the role of Gog in the end times stories about Gog and Magog?  Where does it show in the Bible that indeed this is what it hints to?  Who could Obama be the reincarnation of in the Bible, and where is it written about from the biblical past, about today's Flotilla ships coming to Israel.  it's all in the book called, "Obama in Torah Codes " written by (guest on the show) Rabbi M. Glazerson and Prof. R. Haralick.

A Wake Up Call

When dreadful things happen, I tend to block them out and try to ignore them, because I can't deal with them.

In the case of the little boy HY"D who was found murdered yesterday - murdered by a lunatic who by all accounts should have been locked up long ago - the only way I can deal with it is to get angry at all the frummers who protect these child molesters, who don't go to police and have them locked up, because they don't want to "inform" on another Jew.

Maybe now that the worst possible thing has happened, people will learn.  When you are kind to the cruel, you end up being to cruel to the kind.

Rabbis and communities: stop protecting child abusers, wife beaters and anyone else.  These people are dangerous, maybe you understand that now.  Or tragically, maybe you still don't.
