I wrote up these blessings on my recent Hebrew birthday, 29 Heshvan, to be passed along. I hope you like them. Here they are:
1. That your relationship with G-d, your health and your wealth will increase.
2. That your children and all generations after you will serve G-d, have a proper moral compass and prosper accordingly.
3. That we will all live to greet Mashiah together.
4. And that all the prisoners of Zion will be delivered out of jail and be with us.
They do not need to necessarily be in that order!

And now for the great part.
Reb Dov Bear commented the following (very light editing, links and emphases by HDG) recently:
Rav [Alon] Anava gave us a bombshell calculation [discussion begins approximately 29m, 30s into the video -HDG]. Most people count the Midway point between Adam and Mashiach ben David to the BIRTH of David in the year 2854. So since אדם is from Adam to David to Mashiach ben David, with David exactly in the middle, most simply double 2854 to get 5708, which was the year of the Founding of the State of Israel. So they trace the Birth of David to the "Birth" of Mashiach, not the actual Rise of Mashiach and the beginning of the New Era. So Rav Anava rightly pointed out that David actually became king in Hevron at Age 30, and he correctly points out that at the time he was co-regent of Israel and Yehudah with Shaul's son Ish Boshet. David was the King of Yehudah, and Ish Boshet was the King of the Rest of Israel. What he does not point out is that in the third year of David's reign, Ish Boshet was assassinated, and the rest of the Tribes came to David so that in the third year of David's reign, he became King of all of Israel.
Although David moved the capital from Hevron to Yerushalayim in the 8th year of his reign, he actually became King of all Israel in the 3rd year of his reign in Hevron with the death/assassination of Ish Boshet. Yet, obviously all the tribes north of Yehudah, which were all the Tribes, were not happy with a situation where the King of Israel ruled from the Judean Provincial capital of Hevron. So David concluded that he could only keep his kingdom together by capturing Yerushalayim which was somewhat in "no man's land," at the actual border between Yehudah and Binyamin in the Jebusite city that had not yet been conquered. So from a practical perspective, the Davidic Dynasty was cemented when David was 37 years old and had conquered Yerushalayim from the Jebusites. So once again double that 37 year period to add 74 years or (ע"ד years) to 5708 to get the year of our Joy, 5782. So there you go, an additional calculation besides the ones that I have brought you on this blog such as the 1335 years since the setting up of the cornerstone of the Golden Dome (the Abomination that Makes Desolate) in 687 ce, leading to the exact same year 2022 (5782-early 5783)! Now since 5782 is the Shmittah year of destiny, Ben David sets up his Messianic kingdom in the immediate aftermath of 5782 in the Motzei Shmittah year 5783, but Chaza"l tell us that the Geulah is actually in force in the 7th year even if Ben David sets up his kingdom in year 8. It is why HaShem alone as Go'el Yisrael is the 7th brachah of Shmonah Esrei.
It seems to me that this has been revealed now because the n w o people have done such a good job in frightening large numbers of people into believing that the world has no choice but to submit and follow them, using the coronavirus as an opportunity...and until the Kadosh Baruch Hu reveals Himself, choice must continue to exist.

UPDATE this section: "Youth for Pollard" has designated today a SPECIAL DAY OF PRAYER for Jonathan Pollard. We can always pray that the p t b will be so busy for today & the next few days that they won't be able to do what they usually do in the case of "Israel's agent." See Alan Dershowitz: Cautious, optimistic that Pollard will go free.
Two things we can all do to bring our geula closer by helping America's longest-lived standing prisoner of Zion, as far as I know (he is currently at what we hope and pray is the end of a 5-year-long house- and neighborhood-arrest, and has not been able to work because of the conditions placed on him) are:
1. Pray for Jonathan Pollard (Yehonatan ben Malka) and for his wife, Esther (Esther Yocheved bat Raizel Bracha, for her health), that he be released on time this Friday. Suggested prayers
2. Write to President Trump and ask him to commute Jonathan's sentence to time served.
I personally believe that millions of Israelis owe Jonathan their lives for what he did for their country — not against America, but for Israel — more than 35 years ago.

May my readers have a joyous Kislev, the happiest of Hanukka celebrations, and a great next couple of years...until Mashiah is revealed.
Don't worry, I have material I'll continue to develop and post in the meantime.😀
