בס"ד
G-d, King of Kings, created the entire world and is the leader of the world. Anyone that does G-d's will and goes in the path that G-d wants will have only good.G-d is shocking the entire world, except for Israel, with natural disasters, harsh winds, storms, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fires and mud, conflict between and within countries, and Antisemitism increasing every day all over the world. Armageddon outside of Israel. Chaos outside the borders of Israel!
G-d is doing all of this in all of the countries that ban Israel, all of the countries that bother Israel, and all of the countries that want to take parts of Israel away to give to the Palestinians. The Holy Land, the state of Israel is owned by G-d, as is the entire world. Anyone or state that wants to take parts of the holy land away will pay with their lives. The state of Israel will grow and develop endlessly.
All of the disasters that G-d is doing around the world are to take care of countries that bother Israel and to banish the Jews living abroad. G-d is in judgment and it will increase; G-d has stopped stalling. Jews living abroad and Jews planning to do Aliyah - don't wait! You won't have peace; there is no faith in impure land. There are seven billion people in the world against Jews that don't like the Jews. The state of Israel, the holy land, is the safest place in the world, the most guarded place in the world, there is work for everyone, the tastiest fruits and vegetables in the world, and all of the Jews are repenting. All of the Jews must do the will of G-d. Do the will of G-d and G-d will fulfill all of your desires. The state of Israel is the mother and father, G-d and the Holy Spirit for all the Jews in Israel and abroad - do Aliyah urgently!
Jews in and out of Israel - watch over your sons and daughters so that they don't assimilate with the gentiles, it makes G-d angry. The world is in judgment. The world is in danger. Watch over your kids from assimilation, drugs, alcohol, and gambling. All of the Jews abroad living with gentiles come urgently to Israel and convert them.
The state of Israel is protected by a cloud of fire around the borders, together with the Messiah.
ISIS, as we said, must be taken out at the root. Terrorists that attack Jews with knives and cars are being brainwashed by ISIS. ISIS is in East Jerusalem, Hebron, Negev, and Galilee. ISIS threatens Israel; they think they have a strong conspiracy within Israel, but they are delusional. The power of ISIS is to fight against the gentiles, not the Jews. ISIS wants to control the borders of Egypt and the Gaza Strip. They are competing against the Hamas and want to show that ISIS is stronger than Hamas. ISIS wants to attack the borders of Israel to show Hamas that they are in charge and so that the citizens of Gaza follow ISIS and not Hamas. They will have a Babel Tower and will kill each other.
In Egypt, ISIS and the Extreme Islamists want to murder Sisi and create a revolution in order to turn Egypt back into a primitive land. They will not back down, they are increasing their efforts.
Jordan continues to wait; it has connections with Israel and wants to benefit from Israeli tourism and the Arabs around and within it.
Turkey has become a gun for ISIS. Arduan secretly obeys ISIS and does what they tell him. Israel must not surrender to Turkey. Anything given to them concerning Gaza will mean trouble for Israel. The people and government of Israel must understand: the goal of Arab countries, Hamas, and the Palestinians is only to conquer Israel. They do not want peace. They will never succeed, quite the opposite.
Syria is being completely erased; they are fighting and killing each other. Russians are killing Hezbollah, the rebels, and ISIS. Syrians are killing Hezbollah. Iranians are being killed with Syrians, Kurds and Turks. Everything in Syria is quicksand. Hundreds of thousands are being killed and you can't tell who is against whom.
If Russia wants to destroy Syria, Syria would be gone within 24 hours. Russia wants to control Syria without supporting it.
Iran is getting ammunition from Russia because Russia wants Iran under its control and not in the control of the US. Iran is deathly afraid of Israel. They can't do anything against Israel directly, only indirectly. Thank G-d we have the best army in the world protecting us, the best air force in the world, and every pilot has an angel with him during action. Even the other IDF soldiers have angels by their side, so that they carry out successful operations.
Iraq cannot be fixed; everything is destroyed and will be even more destroyed.
G-d has clipped the wings of Hezbollah and Nasrallah and does not let them raise their heads.
In Africa, Asia, and Europe, there will be harsh conflicts and wars. In Europe there will soon be a wave of bombings and terrorist attacks. In many places in the world there will be conflict. Countries will fight against each other, rockets will malfunction, planes will malfunction, and there will be complications with planes and ships.
We have the security forces: the police, IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet protecting the state of Israel. You must respect them and respect the law in Israel. There are judges and lawyers - work within the law! Whoever is honest will be protected by G-d.
G-d is doing all of this to renew the world into a world of kindness, mercy, and respect for one another.
Dear Jews, stop thinking twice and doubting. The Messiah is hearing, operating, protecting, blessing, and praying! G-d is asking the Jewish people of Israel to continue to cry out and ask for the crowning of the Messiah as King in public and without delay. This is G-d's wish!

Thank you Rav.
ReplyDeleteAmen and Amen to all you write and say.
stella c
There are two major aspects of Mashiach's presence, one is his participation in the world affairs, and the other is his coronation as king of Yisrael. The world events show that Mashiach is active in what is going on in the world, the galuth of Yishmael, the troubles of Edom, etc.
ReplyDeleteBut the time for Mashiach's coronation is yet to come, because his revealing has to be at the time of peace in the entire world. There is no peace in the world.
As such, the calling now for his coronation is premature. We better purify our souls to merit the eternal life in the messianic era and the world to come, olam haba.
The way events will happen will be by surprise and probably not the way we expect.
DeleteIt is brought down that Moshiach will be made public, that everyone will know who he is, but not everyone will accept him. Moshiach ben Yosef will be the one to take us through the war and bring the Jews and lost tribes home. One scenario is that MBY, who will be very popular, will be killed in the war and that MBD will resurrect him (Zechariah). After that event all the world will realize that MBD is for real and the whole world will accept him. Will it happen that way? I don't know because there are Rabbis saying that MBY may not be killed.
We also have the events of the first Geula where Moshe came and also was not accepted. After many events including the 10 plagues, it is amazing that still 80% of the Israelites did not follow Moshe out of Egypt.
The only thing that we are sure of is that Moshiach will be introduced and then Hashem's plan will go into affect. How? It will be a surprise. Even the order that we studied in Megillah 17 had the worldwide Geula before Moshiach.
We have some very exciting times ahead and it will all be good for the righteous and horrible for the evil ones.
Since Mashiach is here doing his mission, this is the most important thing for humanity. The Mashiach is already brought on earth, there is no point is asking again As the state of humanity is very bad, the birthpangs of Mashiach cannot be avoided. The Day of Judgment means also great suffering for mankind.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that the messianic mission has started our aims will be personal purification, following Torah, and being closed to Hashem. This campaign should focus towards becoming children of Hashem. We may call it: HASHEM LET ME BE YOUR CHILD!
That will yield extraordinary fruits, the fruits of soul salvation.
So true. One positive note is that any negative prophecy does not have to happen. If we do Hashem's will, measure for measure we will experience exactly what we need for Tikun.
DeleteAs Avi said, it is very prudent for us to bring ourselves much closer to Hashem. As a child of Hashem, the ones who need discipline are helped with discipline; the children who do exactly what the Parent teaches are greatly blessed.
In current circumstances saving the world doesn't mean the saving of the 7.3 billion people living on earth. Hashem brought from Guf all the human beings who ever lived with the expressed purpose to be judged during the Day of Judgment. The souls who merit will survive, the others annihilated.
ReplyDeleteThus our participation for the purpose of saving the world means opposing evil, doing good to good people, being righteous, in short becoming Tzaddik like Mashiach, the messenger of Hashem on earth, and a living example of how a human being should be in olam haba.
You are correct. The only problem is that we are not the Judge on Day of Judgment. If we shoot for all 7.3 billion, Hashem will sort out who are the deserving righteous and who are not.
DeleteI cannot even judge myself properly, let alone everyone else on Earth. Let's shoot for everyone and settle for Hashem's choice.
Isn't Eliyahu Hanavi supposed to introduce publicly MBD? Has Eliyahu arrived?
ReplyDeleteCorrect. I believe three days notice. When MBY comes into the picture, I don't know.
DeleteRespected Rabbi Menachem, we joyfully await for such great events to unfold. Eliyahu Hanavi appears to be religious, while MBD secular. If their identities are known let's go for the public announcements. We know that Moshe has to struggle for his acceptance by Am Yisrael, so maybe the case today for our Mashiach Tzedkeinu. For great is Hashem and his mercy upon us.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is brought down that Moshiach ben Dovid is a great Torah scholar, not secular. The Rabbis I know who know him would only deal with a very observant Torah Jew.
DeleteIf the person is already known any speculations about him are meaningless.
ReplyDeleteWhat is left to be done is the announcement, perhaps the most important thing in the history of humanity. Matay?
Rav Menahem, As a loving Jewish mother, my heart goes out to my children, relatives and other people's children who are not Baal Teshuva. They are very wrapped up in the secular world and want little or nothing to do with spirituality. Hashem promised to gather all of us through MBD and bring us home -from the farthest corners of the world. What will happen to the non observant kids and adults of the tribes? Will they be given a choice to observe the law and repent when the time comes? Unfortunately,they simply have a very hard time accepting what cannot be measured, weighed, etc. No matter how much I talk to them I cannot make much of a dent. I tried different approaches. Not much progress. As a mom and auntie, i am losing sleep...Please tell me that there is hope. Much gratitude, Ms. AP
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. It is much easier to talk to strangers than relatives. Fear not, Hashem will do it all. Even if it is making the world so scary that they just say the one word of Teshuvah to Hashem "HELP." It will be enough and all Jews and, I believe all righteous non-Jews will be taken care of.
DeleteHashem knows each person on this planet, He created them, and He knows exactly what they need to go forth to the time of Moshiach. As I have said, it will be easier and less scary for those who accept Hashem now, but all good people will see a bright future -- Hashem is merciful.
Ms. AP, there is hope.
ReplyDeleteThe Shema prayer is able to awaken the dorment Jewish souls.
Stay in the proximity of the person you want to become baal teshuvah uttering in silence the Shema prayer just the first part: Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheynu Adonai Echad. Keep continuously the prayer for 15-20 minutes. Soon the results will be evident.
Avi much thanks, this is amazing and i will try! Now let me see if i got this right...just the first part of the Shema...one line and keep repeating it either silently or in a low voice for a few minutes. Ok. My sister was wondering if this is a segulah or kabbalah. We will try.
DeleteRav Menachem,
ReplyDeleteI assume that many none observant Jews also found this blog in their search for the truth.
We have the 13 principles of Jewish faith, but could it be that you start to teach them the practical thing, like that we have to say the Amidah??
For we already pray for our Mashiah every day.
This blog and my book are for non-observant Jews. I have been trying to tell the absolute truth about this world, that the only source of absolute truth is Hashem and that the absolute truth is the only way to happiness and success in this life and for all eternity -- guaranteed.
DeleteMost prayer is mechanical and lip service. Hashem knows our Kevanah, and how much we really mean what we pray. The bringing of Moshiach is more than empty words. It is knowing (not believing, but knowing) completely that he is here, and that we must scream out to Hashem that we want him NOW. That is what Hashem is waiting for to crown Moshiach -- our insistence. If one does not believe that, he or she is the problem and the delay.
Very clear, turning to Hashem and no one else. In this word right now everything is so crazy, that screaming out of our heart to Hashem for HELP (by crowning HA MASHIAH) is the only solution.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Shabbat shalom.
Just as Nachshon ben Aminadav was the first to go into the water I wonder what the equivalent of today. What emunah-based action should we be doing but are not? I fear it's taking to my family about this. Do I really believe? Am I sitting on the beach in false self-righteousness? Nachshon risked looking like a fool for God - maybe I have to much ego for that?
ReplyDeleteThe Jew who completely is observant and is willing to be different than anyone else in society is the one who has the emunah of Nachshon ben Aminadov. A black hat on a man and a women who is completely snius with her hair covered (married), not in a wig that makes her look more attractive, but with a snood that completely covers every hair. Observing family purity, keeping strict Kashrus, strict observance of the Shabbos and Yomim Tovim, observing all the Mitzvot, studying Torah, helping others sometimes even to the detriment of oneself, only wanting to live in Israel, being only in fear of Hashem, etc, etc, etc. Nachshon was so trusting of Hashem that he knew that Hashem would help him in a terrible situation. Observant Torah Jews are so trusting of Hashem that whatever happens in this world has to be for the good -- it came from Hashem.
DeleteThe examples are many, but he who is only anxious to please Hashem, and doesn't worry about what people say about him (after all they are usually wrong, while the good Jew is totally correct). It is not just having complete faith in Hashem, it is the willingness to show the world of ones great faith -- that is jumping in the sea for us.
And what about 70 Panim be Torah everyone a black suit And black hat what about streimels very tzniut big knitted kippa's, beautiful shiny colorful scarves or hats covering the head completely. What about The greatest tzadikim it shines of of them that might not have learned to be observant Jews but are caring for And helping people selflesly. The black had custom is adopted from Europe where it was The common custom amongst The goyim.The Jews adopted it. The streimel was invented because Jews were forced to put a tail on their hats by a leader of one of the Eastern European countries the Rav at the time decided they should make something decent And respectable out of this decree. Our forefathers wear long dresses And sandels in The pics with their heads covered with scarves. The emphasis should be on the true emesdikke Jew NOT on The Outer stus (nonsense) because then people get carried away with that And forget that Hashems wants The Jews to be united as one despite their differences not to become one monotone nation. Then we try to do what Russia did in communistic times. This must not be Hashems will. I hope you'll post this. I noticed other times that challenging your views let to a non posted comment And that feels unfair to me as someone very wise said one time every person who says this is The one And only truth is not speaking The truth. Kol Tuv Reb Menachem.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing about the way we look is that we are not trying to make a fashion statement or show up our neighbors. That is all materialism of today. The wearing of a black suit with black hat actually stems from the Talmud (Taanis), which means Moshe Rabbeinu learned it from Hashem. Not specifically black suit and hat, but the idea of no Jew trying to look better than another Jew or, chas v'shalom, richer. Jews help each other, we don't compete.
DeleteShtreimels or any other Chasidishe garb are also customs that come from where we were born, and are beautiful in the eyes of Hashem.
Bright colors is goyishe and should be avoided. Common sense should prevail as with any custom we have.
This answer I can digest much better thank you. I need to mention one other fact And that is that wearing Lets say black And white in a more colorful community won't work people won't feel comfortable around that sticking out of that Communities box And it therefore can be a chillul Hashem (descecrating Hashems name). While adding some color then might make you more approachable for your fellow Jew in that specific community. That is also part of The Halacha right not to try to stick out. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt is the exact opposite. When I was secular and dressed like everyone else, I experienced Jew-hatred. When I started to wear black, grew a beard, wore a Kippah, I was very respected.
DeleteI used to travel down South to the Bible belt or out West for government meetings. I got treated royally once I started to look like an observant Jew. Hashem controls this world. When He tells us not to assimilate, our flawed human logic gets us into trouble. All we think is just blend in and you will be alright. Hashem tells us, stay separated and do the right thing. When I was in a situation where I had to be in a simulated environment, Hashem made sure that I had no problem, in fact I was never treated so nicely in my life -- I have lots of stories to tell (but not here).
We actually just moved to another neighborhood And did exchange more colorful for less because that way we fit in more in this community.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe it. Hashem would tell you: get out of that neighborhood and go to an observant one.
DeleteThroughout history the Jews went to every country in the world. We fit in at first, but when we started to act like them and assimilate, Hashem made sure it didn't last. We were persecuted, tortured, killed and still didn't catch on; we were going against the instructions of the Torah and suffered the consequences. Did it always happen right away? No, Hashem gave us the opportunity to change, and do the right thing. When we got so comfortable with our assimilated environment, the neighbors, the city, the country we were in turned on us. Thousands of years and we still haven't learned the Absolute Truth. You can't serve Hashem and get close to Him in a mixed neighborhood.
The city I live in doesn't even allow secular Jews. The Mayor and his staff are Rabbaim and the main industry is learning Torah. This is truly the good life, and there are many places in Israel where this exists.
This community we lived before was observant maybe not Charedi but definitely observant we just wanted to be in a hood with a higher level. They were great people, very good families. I think we have to be very careful not push away secular Jews And even more stop labeling. Also it was found that children in a too protective community are more likely to rebel And cas ve Shalom choose a lesser derech (way). I agree though that we HAVE to be very careful for assimilation for sure true. We need to find The proper And balanced derech as The Rambam writes.
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say that pushing away secular is the exact opposite of what I do for a living. When I lived in Lakewood, I invited many, many secular families and individuals for Shabbos just to shock them into realizing how wonderful Jews are and how wonderful an observant Jewish lifestyle is -- the solution to all our problems. If you don't believe that, you are doing it incorrectly.
DeleteThere is such a great difference between Lakewood and my present home in Israel. I lived in a completely observant development in Lakewood, but it didn't stop the crime. Many incidents of violence and theft happened against the Torah community, against my friends and neighbors.
My list of improvements in moving to Israel is very long. I have mentioned that I live in a city that has no crime, no police force, no terror, no Xmas decorations, no TV, the schools don't allow computers to be available to their students, the streets are closed off completely on Shabbos and Yom Tov, the neighbors are so friendly, they talk to each other, they are very happy people and they help each other, the government helps about 500 poor families every month, THE CHILDREN ARE INDOCTRINATED FROM BIRTH TO BE GOOD JEWS, AND DO NOT KNOW OF SECULAR WAYS (my grandchildren never saw a TV, never hear a radio, but have lots of books which they can't get enough of, and they are extremely happy). This list is very long of great improvements in our lives. Total immersion in a Jewish lifestyle, living completely with Torah is the ultimate form of happiness in this world. We also have beautiful weather, clean air, clean water and very, very good food.
Being close to Hashem is not a goal, but a reality that we experience every day. Anything less is just that: LESS.
I on a personal level felt I grew tremendously in the mixed neighborhood. Mixed is relative since they were all precious Jews. We found a Nice properly frum shul with so much achdut that you could feel it brought light, much light. The Rabbi and Rebbitsin were The most devoted And nicest people And they truly excepted and loved each Jew stepping a foot inside the shul. It was amazing how people started changing for the better and how you saw little changes in their behavior. All people loved the shul and each other it was true paradise and still is. We had a Teacher come in from Beitar she said she couldn't believe what a nice community this was and from a friend from Beitar I heard she mentioned it in her class she was so amazed by it.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, Lakewood is a tremendous place of Torah that we had and still have the best of friends. But all the additional benefits of Betar Illit should not be discounted. I prefer all the additional benefits, why not, I have a choice.
DeleteFor sure
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine, who is handicapped moved from a so called frumer neighborhood to Arnona in Jerusalem. The amount of chesed she has received was absolutely overwhelming. In the other neighborhood they wanted to help for money. Her Son a child that is very independent And very energetic was treated like a crazy/like he was in prison. They locked him up in rooms etc. Because he didn't fit in. The kids all loved him The teaches wanted to put him on ritalin. Finally she found a school after terrible comotion that turned her Life upsite down. The democratic school. For The first time he started to get back to himself And became The child he really is a big sweetheart that helps his Mother plays beautifully with children all ages And is beloved at school. Today he slipped And broke his arm. The school immediately said they would pay for all. Another Teacher gave her taxi money. Neighbors The woman working in The high court immediately offered to drive them to The hospital. This is just one example of The tremendous kindness that is done in a neighborhood that is supposed to be labeled as "modern orthodox/conservative. I truly think we Jews have to be so careful with labeling And judging. Hashem truly loves every Jew. The Rabbi of our shul said not every Jew is or had to be at The same level. Just like we have 12 tribes.
ReplyDeleteWe live in whatever situation Hashem puts us. If we find ourselves in a completely Torah observant community, we are going to be much, much happier. Why? Because Hashem designed it that way. It is not labeling, it is proof that living in a community that is completely observing the absolute truth will be far better. Are there exceptions? There has to be for Hashem to maintain a random looking world. What are my chances of not being as happy in a mixed neighborhood as opposed to a Torah community? Very high. Yet, is there a chance? Yes. But please don't live you life based on very small probability of happiness, when Hashem tells us how to maximize the probability.
DeleteThe place that I presently live is the 26th place that I have lived in my life. Yes, the military moved us around a lot, but it gave me such a feel, on three different continents, where the best place is for a Jewish family. I also can tell you that the world today is nowhere near the world of the 1940's and 50's, the time of my childhood. People were much, much nicer then. It wasn't as cutthroat. People helped each other then; and, the authorities, such as the government, the police, the medical profession, etc were all more caring than today. I missed the good old days, until I started to live in a Torah observant community. I am back in the wonderful, caring times of my childhood. You don't have a comparison. But, I certainly have seen it all. I thank Hashem everyday for my situation, and encourage the world Jewry to enjoy the same. This is the best life on Earth for a Jew, why settle for something less, or even say it is alright for others to have less?
I want the absolute best for everyone, and so should you.
The good old days indeed. Happy you found something similar. May we all do Hashems will in the best possible ways each to their own, each in their own beautiful way!
ReplyDeleteOur Rav said to not move to Betar he didn't think it was fitting for us at all, we moved to a frum, mixed and touristy place instead. Our Rav lives in Betar. Everything is very personal. Happy you are happy there though.
ReplyDeleteBetar is not for everyone, but following Hashem is definitely for everyone. I just happen to find a place the following Hashem is easier and more enjoyable. The fact that there were about 30,000 Jews here close to 13 years ago when we moved here, now there are 50,000 Jews and areas opening up to increase the population to 100,000 Jews, there must be something pleasant about this place?
DeleteThere are many other places in Israel that would be ideal for observant Jews, I just happen to like Betar Illit and obviously so does Hashem.
One additional thought. It is not a crime to be happy nor to find something in this world that makes life as pleasant as can be. It is also not a crime to want every Jew in the world to be as happy as me and my family. I know that there are many places that could fulfill that dream for others, but why should I argue with success as opposed to wanting everyone of my fellow Jews to be even more successful.
DeleteInstead of wishing for people who are less observant to find their best place for happiness, I prefer to do it Hashem's way and strive to bring everyone up to a higher level of observance. That is the true happiness, not the place. Coming closer to Hashem is the key to success and I wish it for everyone, no matter where they live.
Can you please post my formal message it is true it was in a piece written to Americans by Moishela or one of the others. The boy that had the near death experience said the same Messiah doesn't see black hats, suits or beards. He judges the person as a Jewish neshamma.
ReplyDeleteI believe that a black hatter will see the Moshiach as a black hatter, a Chabadnik will see the Moshiach as a Chabadnik, the knitted kippah will see the Moshiach as one who wears a knitted kippah, etc, etc, etc. Moshiach will be miraculous and very spiritual and pleasing to everyone.
DeleteThe important thing is how does Hashem see us now. As someone who wants to be as close to Him as possible, one who wants to do the mitzvot as stringently as possible or someone who with less emunah says what I do is good enough? Please, please go by Hashem's opinion on everything not the opinions you see on the web. Stop trying to hurt fellow Jews by telling them it is OK to do less.
How we should dress and what the deeper meaning about our appearance, and everything else we do, is brought down in scriptures, in other words, it is Hashem's opinion.
It is the most crucial time in history and in each of our lives to come as close to Hashem as possible, not to settle for less, which is exactly what you are advocating -- it is not nice to do this to your fellow Jew. If you don't think you are asking your fellow Jews to settle for less, go study Hashem's instructions and find out before you give advice.
http://yerushalayim5775.blogspot.co.il/2016/01/jewish-appearance.html?m=1
DeleteI think you haven't read my messages properly I am the last one that advocates Jews to do less chas ve Shalom. I am the one that advocates for a Jew to feel respected And loved for who he is And that way he can grow otherwise he turns away from Hashem chas ve Shalom. It can be denied but there are people that are turned off completely by the so called frumer then frum And that is not what we frum Jews want right that's why I think we should stop labeling And judging. Betar might function great amongst itself, eventhough there are problems there too that you might be unaware of but I happen to know first hand And that has to do with not feeling accepted nor loved and respected And that is a chilul Hashem that no one is waiting for cause it leads which I know for a fact as Well to unfavorable results. Every Jew is worthwhile And beloved to Hashem And yes of course Hashem wants each Jew to grow in their own Unique way And pace And definitely not by force that's why certain lenencies in dealing with non frum parents And sibbelings are given to keep the Shalom Beit, because if Jews are not united we have absolutely nothing. No blessing can come our way, despite of the frum neighborhoods doing so great. Rav Arzi confirms this time after time to be united.
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me that Betar is full of human beings who need to grow in their faith and trust in Hashem? You are absolutely correct. But my point is not one of judging individuals (we do have some very prominent Torah scholars in Betar that are knitted Kippahs), chas v'shalom, it is trying to help people by teaching them what Hashem has told us for thousands of years -- measure for measure your eternity will be according to what you do now when you have the time to grow.
DeleteI for years joked about the fact that I was Conformadox. I have spent much time attending Conservative, Reform, Modern Orthodox establishments. One thing that all the wonderful Jews that I have met over the years have in common: they all feel that what they are doing is good enough. I call them cardiac Jews since they always said "I am a Jew at heart." Should I be satisfied with them doing less than they could, just because they don't know Hashem or His Torah? Should I have the attitude that "I am alright, who cares about them," chas v'shalom? The only reason I have been doing this blog for 45 months and wrote a book, was to help others. I have made no money in all my efforts, in fact you don't want to know how much this has cost me.
The fact that most people are willing to settle for something less than stringent is not a judgement on my part, it is human nature. But, it is a wish of Hashem that we do something about it. When will we find out that we could have had a much, much more spiritual eternity, being much closer to Hashem? When the testing it over, and it is called too late!!!!!
Let people complain to me now about how much I am trying to get them to grow -- they will thank me later (not that I need the thanks, their growth will be my reward).
I also think you shouldn't forget where you came from And how long it took you And your family to be where you are now. If they would have dropped you in Beitar Lets say 28 years ago it would have been a culture shock And it would have had the opposite effect you understand my point. Each Jew has to grow in their own unique way b"h. Good luck to you, your family And all Am Israel.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, except it happened the exact opposite way. When we were secular and living in a goyishe neighborhood, and got invited to Monsey, NY for a Shabbos, we fell head over heals for it all. My wife, my children (teens at the time) and I all came out of the one Shabbos saying: "we want to be like them!!!!" We met that nicest people we had ever met who couldn't do enough for us. The neighbors all tried to steal us for a Shabbos meal. We never saw strangers instantly treating us like family. We wanted this lifestyle. It wasn't until later that we discovered all the great benefits that it entailed, and how Hashem showed us through His servants the true meaning of life and happiness.
DeleteEven my 18 year old son compared the black hatted bocherim he met to his goyishe friends and immediately said "I want to be like them." He was in college at the time. Shortly after that he was in a Baal Teshuvah Yeshivah in Jerusalem (and he didn't want to leave there after a year and a half).
Hashem said "I want the Robinson family." The rest was history. Thank You, so much, Hashem.
Note: Betar Illit is not 28 years old, which is another beautiful thing about the city, everything is fairly new and still works.
It seems that at the end of the day we have the same goals in mind And that is the main thing may we see lots of miracles And as Rav Arzi said already in two or three letters Am Israel is repenting And I am proud of us And wish us all And your beautiful family lots of Siata Dismaya And lots of Mazal with that. Thank you for all your hard work, time, money And efforts. May all our efforts be greatly rewarded in olam ha ba ve ha ze.
ReplyDeleteאָמֵן ואָמֵן If anyone doesn't want the absolute best for every Jew and every righteous non-Jew, there are plenty of other blogs available. It is my only reason for doing all this effort. Thank you for joining me with the same Kevanah.
DeleteI wish you, your loved ones and all good people on this Earth total happiness, a wonderful life, a wonderful eternity and, most of all, Hashem in every aspect of your life, it is the good life.
Amen ve amen!!
