Discussion with Moishela (with his family)

A Handicapped child

1 Iyar 5774 (May 1, 2014)

Time is moving on and speeding up. I can’t say that we’re moving at the speed of light, but we’re moving on. It’s like a tank, a large tank that moves slowly but is very deadly and we are moving onwards forwards into the Nevuas of Hashem. Now we can see much more clearly what is on the horizon and if we look closely through our binoculars we can see clearly destruction and death, Shelo Naida.

We can see clearly how every single prophecy is coming true. On one hand it’s very frightening. On the other hand it gives us hope. It gives us hope that finally, finally we’re coming to the end of this terrible Golus; this most difficult time in  all of our history, running from country to country every time the Goyim started killing us, trying to find a place where we could live in peace and worship Hakodosh Boruch Hu in every way without being attacked. We had to move from place to place and we had to reestablish ourselves financially so that we would have bread to give our children, our families. We suffered the fear of going upwards and then falling downwards in our spirituality. All of this will soon be over and it can be seen already with the naked eye, so-to-speak. Maybe we need the help of the binoculars, but we can see it already. We can smell the smoke of war and we can taste it as well.

We can understand now in our minds how two thirds of the world can be destroyed and we can be so depressed with this thought that we hopefully can forget our extreme Gashmiusdik world and decide finally to do true Teshuva. So I think my fellow Jews that it is time. It is time right now before the real troubles start. It is time to do Teshuva and to learn to depend only on Hakodosh Boruch Hu. Hashem is giving us many incentives for this, and many ways to learn to come so close to Him, so that you will fear nothing but Him. It’s our job to start to learn, how to be true Avdai Hashem and Ovdai Hashem. I hope and I pray that all Am Yisroel, every single one of Am Yisroel, will take my message seriously and stop with all the nonsense that most of you are occupied with. Push it all aside. See it for what it is – emptiness, and come closer to Hashem which is everything, all-encompassing, which is totally spiritual in nature and come close to the only Truth which is so absolutely Divine, so absolutely beautiful and pleasant and wonderful and all-encompassing that you will soon forget the hard grimy materialistic world and be swept up in the beauty and the holiness of the spiritual world of Hakodosh Boruch Hu, Hakol Yachol, the Creator of all existence.

Can you just imagine looking up and seeing the third Bais Hamikdosh looming above us, inviting us to come and bring Karbonos, finally after so many years? Can you imagine that? It will turn from a dream to reality, but we have to really desire this. We have to really long for it in order that we will also be Zoche to be part of it. L’shana Haba’ah B’yerushalayim, Yerushalayim Habenuyah!

Sefiras Haomer this year, is part of the countdown. We are going now from slavery to freedom and we are going to see many miracles on the way so between when we began counting until Shavuos there will be many changes in this world, difficult changes. It will be hard to understand maybe for many, but in the end all of the pieces of the puzzle will be put together and we’ll see a clear vision of what Hashem wants from us. We will also be aware of what this distorted world has taken away from us. Everything will be clear, pristine clear, clear as can be.  We will have no doubts. We will trust Hashem completely.

I feel that Lag Baomer this year is going to symbolize the end of a certain way of doing things. I feel that things are going to change drastically after Lag Baomer, in Eretz Yisroel and generally in the world. We are looking for tremendous changes after Lag Baomer, and by Shavuos and after Shavuos, tremendous changes.

Q: How are these changes different then the last 13 years?

A: Well in the last 13 years the world has changed completely. It has become a world that once was frivolous and on the surface happy. Everybody running off to Europe or Israel from Brazil to Africa to Thailand and every place in the world. It was a time of Gashmius above and beyond anything we could dream of. Now things have gone down in the Gashmius very much. People are confused because the world has become threatening and dark. People are afraid to fly. People don’t have the money to go on vacations and never mind vacations, people don’t even have money for food. Fear hovers over the world. People are afraid because it has become a harsh and very difficult world and most people are living with a tremendous fear and rightfully so.

Message from Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, shlita, Parashat Naso תשעד

בס"ד

Our Lord, our heavenly Father is pleased because the time of redemption has begun since 1948, Israel's independence, and is happy because the coronation of King Messiah will soon be.  The Holy One, blessed is He is happy to purify this world that will be a world of abundant love, a world of grace, a world of peace without pain and without hurting.  The Messiah is here!  The third Temple is here!  And all Jews will live in Israel holy!  Despite all this waiting, the Creator continues to make the discord between countries and within them and continues to confuse all countries of the world except Israel, the weather is hot or cold, severe earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions and violent and intense winds.  All this is growing day by day, so that the State of Israel is left alone and that Jews will flee from exile to Israel and to purify the world.

Anti-Semitism was not stopped with the creation of the State of Israel.  It secretly continues to increase; and, today anti-Semitism discovers itself every day and openly attacks the Jews.  Jews living outside of Israel don’t say, “It will not happen when the time comes, I'll be in Israel,” as if they could count on something.  As long as they do not feel a real threat to their lives, they continue to survive and think it will stop.

The Master of the world, the Almighty is terribly angry, anti-Semitism will not stop.  It will only increase day by day and the Jews are in life threatening danger.  The media does not tell the whole truth, maybe 5% of what happens to the Jews in the world.  Lately they talk about anti-Semitism in many countries.

The Pope came to Israel, came to Jerusalem to enjoy the view and make an impression in the world, nothing more.  Israeli ministers must not decide by themselves!  They are not alone in Israel; they do not own the people of Israel, the people elected them.  Sharon was the last Prime Minister who gave instructions, while those who followed do not decide - it was decided for them, they cannot be called Prime Minister - but members of the Knesset.

The Defense Army of Israel must be vigilant and very serious, because our borders will have serious problems, from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.  The Defense Army of Israel must be alert and vigilant!  This silence is not silent!  They have plans to surprise the State of Israel!  Abbas and his friends laugh and mock the ministers of the Knesset.  Whoever wants peace, does not try to take the holy land.  Those who steal, do not want peace, but they want the land by using politics.

In Egypt there will be a revolution.  It is not only in Egypt, but all the countries and nations in the world, to make them concerned about themselves and leave Israel alone and happy.  In Egypt they are hungry, have problems with Hamas and with residents.

Syria continues to be erased and it will continue.  They are without judge and without law.  As it grew up and became a superpower, so will it fall and become a bag of bones.

Hezbollah, the Syrian army and the rebels are fighting amongst themselves like the Tower of Babel - the hand of G-d is upon them.

Iran will not do anything against Israel.  They are afraid of the Holy One, blessed is He and even the Israel Defense Forces.  They know that IDF can go anywhere in the world.

Almighty G-d said: before you click the button to launch a missile at Israel, at the same time, the earth will open up and swallow you!  Iran threatens to appear that its business operates normally.  It wants to be a superpower.

Jordan expects the Holy One, blessed is He, will make a great revolution, adding refugees indefinitely along with Fatah and Hamas.  It will be the state of refugees and the King of Jordan would be a prisoner in their hands or they will kill him.  Jordan's King thinks the Pope is going to help – no one will!

Turkish Prime Minister beautifies the place and leaves no one looking up.  Today or tomorrow everything will turn against him - patience.

Each country and state that go against Israel and want to hurt her, The Master of the world will put an angel from heaven that will connect to the President or Prime Minister to cause a revolution in his country.  Like Assad in Syria, where an angel motivates him which is why there is no peace.  Even if they  will kill Assad, the revolution will continue in Syria.

All black and white-collar workers will continue to be discovered, especially managers.  All corrupt, lustful men who are doing favoritism, and those who think "protect me - I will protect you," the Holy One, blessed is He, will discover all and cleanse and purify the people of Israel.

The Holy One, Blessed is He, works and acts for the president to be chosen, a president of Israel perfect - clean and pure!

The Creator asks members of the Israeli government to come together and to unite; no one will do what he wants!  It is a shame to throw out money at the expense of the taxpayers.  Jews in Israel want live in peace and tranquility; they are sick of theft, fraud, obscene and despicable acts of drugs, alcohol, gambling and fights.  Anyone who has a management position should show a good example of honesty and truth.

Jews, continue to give charity and continue to show love to others.  It delights the Holy One, blessed is He.  Continue to give to charities - do not be stingy.

Jewish children are prophesying; speaking that it is time for Messiah to come!  Jews wonder when the King Messiah will be crowned to solve all the problems and disorders in Israel!

The Holy One, blessed is He, hits the planet, except the State of Israel.  He lets Israel experience from time to time a little of what other nations are experiencing, so that they will repent.

The Messiah is acting and working in innocence, honesty and truth.  He acts, step by step, using nature; and, when the time will come suddenly everyone will be surprised!  It is written, "The Messiah will not come until you're desperate."  We are waiting for salvation and the coronation of the King Messiah for so long, that we break and no longer believe in deliverance.  Do not break!  Do not despair!  Continue to wait for the coronation of King Messiah!  According to the signs around the world, everyone knows that the world urgently needs the coronation of King Messiah out of mercy!

Jews, ask the Creator of the world to crown the King Messiah out of mercy!

A Strong Message to Save Your Life

I wanted to say something strong about the message given in yesterday's Parsha, Bechukotai, since it conveys the same message that I have been saying for the past two years.  I like to listen to Rav Harry, who is provided by Partners in Torah, since he does such a magnificent job of relaying Hashem's message of the weekly Parshah.  Watch this short video:

http://jinspire.org/harrys-video-blog/

Notice also that Partners in Torah is an organization that allows you to study Torah by phone, Skype, etc, when you don't have someone nearby as a study partner.  If this is your situation, contact Partners in Torah and enjoy their benefits:

There is no excuse not to be involved -- you will be very happy you did, since you are doing what Hashem wants from you.

Message from Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, shlita - Parashat Bechukotai תשעד

בס"ד

G-d brought rain after Passover, after you say "Morid Hatal" (מוריד הטל) - after Independence Day.   There are no mistakes with G-d, only blessed rain, rain of judgment.  There are those for whom it was a blessing and there are those for whom it caused damage.  G-d comes to clean the people of Israel, each one of us for the good that he has or has not done.  G-d comes to show that He is the leader of the world, comes to show that it is not by nature that He has brought down rain in different times.  Some of the rain caused damage, some was a blessing.  There were all kinds of accounts with people: by their hearts, what they give their integrity and cleanliness in their work and the goods that they sell.  This is how G-d settles the score.  Every person who works with honesty, truth and cleanliness and give ma'asarot - his property and fortune will be protected.  All this G-d does to wake up the people of Israel, the good and the less good.  The good - to show them that they should continue on the path of good, and the not good - G-d tells them to wake up and change directions!  G-d gave the Torah so that we will do and listen, and not listen and then do.

Dear Jews, the people of Israel have redemption; the Messiah is soon to be crowned.  G-d will come down Himself to earth and not by angels.  G-d takes care of the earth with a lot of patience for each person.  He does not let the angels touch earth and nature because the angels would bring a flood and destroy the world.

The rain that fell filled the tunnels dug from the Gaza Strip and other places that were aimed at IDF bases.  It will take them time to build them again.  The IDF needs to be vigilant to digs and tunnels.  All of the Jews are good and they have a holy spark, a soul that is part of G-d, but not all of them are connected to G-d.  They think that they are modern, and if they are modern then there is no need to believe in G-d, heaven forbid, like this is a strange thing - it is their mistake.  G-d lifts and humiliates, enriches and endows, so please dear Jews, stay with G-d!  Staying with G-d is love, you cannot curse people, "cursed are those who curse and blessed are those who bless."  Instead of cursing, pray for their redemption.  G-d directly watches over all of nature, there will continue to be tsunamis and floods, rains, thunder, and lightening.  People will see fire from the sky; the air will light up in flames.  There will continue to be devastating earth quakes, strong and harsh winds that devastate mountains and cities, homes, cars, trains, ships, and planes.  Volcano eruptions, heat and cold in different places - heat in places of cold and cold in places of heat.  G-d will flip the weather in all kinds of places.  It will be strange - but it will be! G-d will continue to create conflict between countries and among themselves, this too He does Himself.

Every country that tries to interfere with Israel will experience financial complications and conflict within itself and with its neighbors.

The United States talks badly about Israel to weaken the Israeli government - you do not need to take heed of their talks.  The people of Israel need to love each other, the government needs to be strong and united; stay with G-d and follow all of the laws.  The United States is doing everything so that the Middle East will support it and not Russia.

Syria is continuing to be annihilated. The rebels continue to destroy; they will create tunnels and bombs that will devastate the world.  Syria is on its way to extinction, there is no one to help it - and no one is interested in doing so.

Lebanon and Hezbollah continue on the same path of destruction as Syria, no one is there to help them. Syria and Iran have stopped helping and they are complicated within themselves.

The Palestinians, Hamas and Fatah have bad plans.  They smile on the outside and inside they are filled with evil, hate and revenge to destroy the state of Israel.

Israel needs to stop believing that if the Fatah, Hamas and Palestinians create one union, there will be someone to talk to - they have been united for decades!  Everything is a lie, everything is an act.  They plan on throwing more bait to the government of Israel so that they get parts of the country - don't believe them!

Abu Mazen and his friends think that the United States likes them, so they are over confident. There will not be, G-d forbid, a Palestinian country and giving away parts of Israel!  The blood of Jews is being spilled on this land and it belongs to the state of Israel!  The state of Israel has belonged to the Jews for thousands of years, not just from 1948!

The king of Jordan is angry; he has modern blood, is devious and is angry about Abu Mazen, Hamas and Fatah: "Why don't you wait?  Why do you create unity between you now?  You have ruined all of our devious plans with Israel!"

In Egypt Sisi is provoking; he thinks that if he speaks against the Hamas and others, the Egyptian people will like him.  He should continue doing so; he is on the right path!  He is inviting, building and making trouble and complications for Egypt - there will be a revolution, patience!

In Iran there was a big explosion. G-d warned them and if they do not heed His warning and continue to bother Israel, G-d will continue to blow Iran up, despite the fact that the Iranians are terrified and are careful not to interfere with Israel.

Turkey is in conflict with itself and needs Israeli tourists because it profits greatly from them.  They preferred to shut up to get Israeli tourists.  Tourists from Israel, beware of Turkey and the rest of the world because anti-Semitism is very frightening; it increases by the hundreds every day.  There are seven billion gentiles who hate the Jews.  In Turkey there is a big conspiracy to handle Arduan.

The murder of the girl Sheli Dadon needs to waken the people of Israel to stop being naïve.  There are a lot of these gangs in Israel who want to cause harm through drugs, alcohol, assimilation and incitement, who incite the gentiles in Israel.

Every Jew who eats kosher, kosher meat and vegetables that are clean from bugs will have more mercy than other Jews.  If, heaven forbid, Jews eat non-kosher food, they are bringing abomination into their soul and it becomes a brutish soul.  The soul and spark of G-d leaves them and they become cruel, they hurt innocents - all because of non-kosher food.

In the holy land of Israel, very soon, they will reach a point where they will call out to G-d, out of all of the anguish around them; because, there is no flesh and blood solution to what is going on in the world and in Israel!  They will call out to G-d to crown the Messiah now!  Only he, the Messiah, can give them prosperity and a good life forever!

An extra note of interest.

Recently there was severe rain and tornadoes in the US.  There also was heavy rain in Israel.  It was such a comparison of the destruction that we saw outside of Israel and a great blessing experienced in Israel.  But, Rav Ben Artzi makes a strange statement above: “G-d directly watches over all of nature, there will continue to be tsunamis and floods, rains, thunder, and lightening.  People will see fire from the sky; the air will light up in flames.”  The fire in the sky and the air lighting up made me curious since the recent rain in Israel was accompanied by a light show, the likes of which I had never seen before.  Even the thunder was not too prevalent, only the lightning and flashes of light.  A video is worth a thousand words.  Someone recorded this phenomenon in a town south of Jerusalem.  This was seen in a vast area around Jerusalem and had people outside in amazement.   Videos never have the impact of event as when seen in person, but watch and get an idea of what happened.   Watch the entire video since it gets better as it develops.  Note: there is very pleasant music accompanying the light show – if you are, like me, observing the mourning period before Lag B’Omer, turn down the audio before watching.

My charedi neighbors were outside watching and all attested to the awe of Hashem.  We got the message.

Moshiach is “AT THE DOOR”

My friend Yisroel from Lakewood went to Shul on Shabbos, as usual, and one of the four Roshei Yeshivah  (deans) of Bais Medrash Govoha (the Lakewood Yeshiva) in Lakewood, New Jersey,  Rav Dovid Schustal, shlita, was in attendance and got up to speak.

He said a number of things about how close we are to Moshiach.  He also quoted Rav Chaim Kanievsky, shlita, who said that Moshiach was

“not behind the door, he is AT THE DOOR.”

I thank Yisroel for this tidbit of information since he knows how excited I get hearing Gedolim tell us how close we are to Moshiach, Geula and the happy ending.  Keep ‘em coming, Yisroel.
