Recent Photos

Some very recent photos of what's going on around the world.

This shows the orbit of the second solar system [sorry about the poor quality of the picture] - we are orbiting Sol and the other planets are orbiting the red Binary star/sun, and are visible from Earth as they pass...[a wheel within a wheel?]

In this image you can see the green asteroid bottom left, and the rainbow effect is caused by colourful asteroids flying by

This is an asteroid in front of the sun

Red sunset caused by planet Isatum

The "Texas Cube" - so called because it was first sighted over Texas. It is a massive cube shape flying around with the planets in the passing solar system

A Passing Planet

Blue= sky / orange =planet
[and if you think Gee that's close... just wait a week or two...
they'll be on top of us]

This is why they keep drawing lines in the sky everywhere. They don't want the people to know about this.

The Coming Solar Eclipse

Rabbi Efraim Palvanov

What might the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 mean for the world? What is the spiritual significance of solar and lunar eclipses? And how do we reconcile the notion that eclipses are signs from Heaven with the scientific understanding that eclipses are natural and easily predictable long in advance? 

Find out in this class, where we also explore the symbolism of sun and moon in Judaism, the mysterious Antikythera Mechanism, the numerological meaning of the number 30, and conclude with the little-known prophecies of the Biblical Joel - and what they might have to do with what’s going in in Israel and the world today.

Fact Check: Asteroids

Do you remember that red cloud over Turkey before the 7.8 quake in February 2023?

They have gone to a lot of trouble to DENY that this cloud was caused by HAARP or that clouds in any way cause earthquakes.  It wasn't HAARP, but they'd prefer you to think it was rather than know the truth.  Just have a look at this article on Fact Check:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/02/24/fact-check-cloud-turkey-not-connected-haarp-earthquakes/11329920002/

Click on the first link which will take you to Instagram and you will see that the photo has been removed from IG and replaced with a notice saying "False Information: Reviewed by Independent Fact-Checkers".    So now you know that anything "reviewed by independent fact-checkers" may well be UNTRUE.

This cloud is from the Red Asteroid.  The Red Asteroid is just one of many flying around with all the planets.  When they fly by us, they leave the red clouds with a circle, like the photos below. And yes, the closeness of the planets [and asteroids] passing close-by us can cause earthquakes.  

Asteroid trail over Scotland

OCG stands for Object Cluster Group, there's a lot flying around up there, some of it is un-identifiable.

There is a skull-shaped asteroid, and a cube and a long box shape, all flying around with the planets.

Asteroid at base of planet

There are different coloured asteroids: red, blue, green, tan....  they give us rainbow-like patterns in the sky as the fly by.  

This is what it can look like as it's passing.

This is the red asteroid, captured in the middle of the night.

A Flawless Mitzvah

"Every generous person shall bring it" [Vayakhel 35:5]

A benefactor donated a large plot of land for R' Meir Shapiro's yeshivah, Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin.  At the ceremony for the laying of the cornerstone of the building, the benefactor was accorded great honor and seated at the head table reserved for the distinguished guests.

Sitting next to the man was R' Yisrael of Chortkov, who turned to him and said "I do not envy you over this mitzvah because it will lead to great honor.  I do envy you, however, for the mitzvah that you performed secretly, the one that lead to this one [see Avot 4:2].  For that must have been a flawless mitzvah if it was capable of leading to a mitzvah as great as this one."

Not a Movie

This is reality. Planetary close pass. There's more going on up there than you could ever dream of.

21 Adar - Yarzheit Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk

 

The great Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk (1717-1786) was one of the elite disciples of Rabbi DovBer, the Maggid of Mezritch, and a colleague of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. He is also widely known as the No'am Elimelech, the title of the renowned chassidic work he authored.

Rabbi Elimelech attracted many thousands of chassidim, among them many who after his passing became great chassidic masters in their own right. Most notable amongst them was Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Horowitz, the "Seer of Lublin." Many of the current chassidic dynasties trace themselves back to Rabbi Elimelech.  Rabbi Elimelech was known as "the Rebbe of Rebbes".

Kever of R' Elimelech

It happened once in the time of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech that the government had a case against a certain Jew. The courts ruled, found him guilty, and he was sentenced to death by hanging. As was the custom, the courts granted him one last request, and he asked that they notify his sons of the verdict.

The sons were notified, and they immediately set out to see their father. On the way they stopped in Lizhensk to see Rebbe Elimelech and ask his advice and guidance. When they related the whole story to the Rebbe, he answered, in his holy manner, that they had nothing to fear - their father would not be hanged. 

They left Lizhensk comforted, reassured by the words of the holy Tzaddik, believing that his promise would come true. However, when they arrived they saw that nothing had changed. On the designated day, their father was brought forth to be hanged and no-one said a word to save him. 

According to the law, before a sentence was carried out, they would read the charges and the verdict that had been pronounced. But when the officials went to retrieve the necessary documents, they could not find any of the papers relating to the judgment and could not proceed with the execution. They hastened back to the courthouse, but they found not a trace of the ruling nor even a memory of the case. The judges themselves were no longer able to recall the case, nor were they able to remember who the witnesses were or what testimony had been given. Everything was totally forgotten. After a lengthy delay and numerous searches, they reluctantly released the prisoner since they could bring no charge against him. 

On the trip back home, the sons, this time with their father, stopped once more in Lizhensk to see Rebbe Elimelech. The Rebbe told them: "I had no other alternative except to make use of the angel of forgetfulness to cause them to forget the whole matter completely."
