The many sides of Noam Bettan (Michelle)...his 2nd place win in Yiddish...

 Erev Shavuot 5786 | ערב שבועות ה'תשפ"ו

 


 

...and also in Hebrew! Arabic! Russian! Spanish! Hindi! Japanese

...and many more...tell me how many you find! 

Thank God for these videos, much more suitable for me to post than the Eurovision video. 

Shavuoth (and Parashat Naso, unless you're in hu"l) sameach! 

 

P.S. Most of them are AI. Oh well. But the original shows his ability to sing in multiple languages. 

P.P.S. The company that does the AI, SounZgood IT, is in Italy. Does this make as much sense to you as it does to me?  😉

Turkey collaborates with Palestinians to take land from Israel? And is the US helping them?

4 Shevat 5780


I started writing this article last month, and things have only gotten worse (and better) since then.

This news should have broken wide open in October 2005, when Haaretz published this article by Danny Rubinstein (for once, not behind a paywall, as far as I can tell). That is when he first reported (according to Google) that Turkey sent the Ottoman Empire archives to the Palestinian Authority so that they could examine them for lands they want to take back from Israel. Most of these are in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.


People who knew back in 2005, after the Gush Katif expulsion of Jews, must have forgot about it (or did they keep it a secret?). Well, now it's back, and I hope we're taking it seriously. Not that we should consider going back to the lands we were exiled to; but that we should fight for our land and our lives!

It's possible that we can win by argument - after all, King David bought the land around the Temple Mount/Har haBayit with money; Avraham Avinu bought the Double Cave in Hevron (Ma'erat haMachpela) to bury his wife Sarah, with 400 PURE SILVER shekels; and one more that I don't remember (and Google doesn't help. They keep saying the Arabs owned it first!) Kever Yosef (Joseph's Tomb - see comments below, thank you Dan G!), all of which are recorded in the Tana"kh/Jewish Bible. This precedent was set by the Jews before we became "the Jews"!

The Ottoman archives should be considered prima facie evidence of the Ottoman occupation of the Holy Land, as far as I understand the term (maybe there's a better one?). Yes. I said OCCUPATION of Jewish Holy Land! We don't know from which Jew each piece of this land was bought with money, as those who set the precedent did, and not by violence -- rape, pillage, murder of civilians and only G-d knows what else!

They certainly didn't think they had to conquer the land from any Jewish army. There was none. The land was almost deserted because of the dispersion by the Romans some 1500 years prior, and while there have always been Jews here and there in the Land, how well do you really think they could have defended themselves from the Muslims who claim it now?

But they are clever. They knew that without any Jews here, they couldn't survive here either. So, they made harsh rules, but they had to let some Jews stay, even if they were a minuscule minority in 1516 CE.

And now they plan on trying to hand over the land from their previous occupation to the current occupiers, the Palestinians!

The rest of us have heard about all this through the good auspices of Israel Hayom and Israel National News (Arutz 7), who published these articles on Tuesday, 1 January 2020. Apparently they got their information here, most likely from the primary source and not from a web page, like I did here.

Now that the subject has been brought up again, I've been expecting this story to be taken up by all the Israeli media, and then by the world's media. Certainly, it will go very well with the news of all the attacks on Jews and Israelis around the world, saying, JEW, GET OUT.

Commenters in the US have been asking two pertinent questions: If we're supposed to get out of the US, then why are these same people who are telling us to get out saying that Israel is not our real homeland? And where should we go?

I hate to be harsh, but you have been living in the exile, plush as it may be, or not. Wake up. The nations aren't exactly giving you options. The plan is to kill every single Jew on the planet, so an attempt was made to brainwash us to believe that we have no land to call our own, so that you who are still out there will oppose those who resisted the brainwash (that's me and all my fellow Israeli Jews), and thus have no place to go when they kick us out of all their countries.

I'm not saying that every Israeli Jew isn't brainwashed. A lot of the leadership seems to be, judging by the way that, when the nations demand us to jump, their only response seems to be: "How high?"

BUT, if you don't believe in G-d and the Jewish Destiny, you have no other options. If you do, then join us here for the fight for our lives and for our Land. Now is the time. With His help, we will win.

Do you remember when the Israeli seer Nir ben Artzi said in May 2016, during the US election campaign season: "Remember: G-d will choose the president that only loves the Jews in Israel."? Translated here (but please, no emails there, as the blogger passed away went to Shamayim nearly two years ago!). Here's the blog search for Nir ben Artzi's comments on aliyah at The Absolute Truth. I'm curious to find out how you find them in retrospect.

The Ta'ir Neri site, where NbA's divrei Torah originate, now has an English translator. Here's his Parashath Bo' 5780 translation. According to this, we've come much further than we were four years ago.

Back to 2016 for a paragraph: Heads should have been going up by the millions. Some of those who were, are here now. I hope that my readers from lands far flung from here will now follow as best they can.

In the meantime, when the Palestinians come knocking on the doors of the High Court, seeking to take back lands that have deeds from the 1500s, we need to be prepared with hard questions. Like these:

  • Whose land was it before it was that of the person named on the deed?
  • How much did the previous owner get paid for the land?
  • If it wasn't a proper purchase, what was it?
  • and more???
I suspect that most of the answers, upon proper investigation, to be: No evidence of previous owner, no payment, and a takeover of some kind. In other words, REAL OCCUPATION. For 400-plus years, right up until 1948 and even until the present day (which would make it over 500 years).

I'm counting on the whole truth to be revealed, once and for all time. Jewish traitors will also be revealed where these were, or are, a factor.

@Shurat haDin, are you ready for this one???

Is this hishtadluth (human effort) enough to attract Mashiah Goel Yisrael???

#MeJew

***
And, in the meantime, is it possible that the Arabs and their spear point, the Palestinians, recognize who their real enemy is???

And, the US has come out openly to "compassionately" divide our land. Here's a report:

"US Ambassador David Friedman told reporters that before Israel decides to apply sovereignty over the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria the Trump administration wanted to form a committee with Israel to discuss the issue, but stressed that it could not be said how long this would take.

"It's a process that requires effort, accuracy and calibration and you have to make sure that the annexation matches the map in our plan," said Friedman.

"We will look at the Israeli proposal and examine it and make sure it is in line with our plan. We will set up the committee as soon as possible and work on it immediately and try to end quickly but I do not know how long it will take," the ambassador added."

I don't think HaShem cares how "compassionate" it is. The Creator of the Universe says NO DIVISION OF ISRAEL -- and that's final!


I'm beginning to think that it's not so much whether the local Arabs/"Palestinians" will accept the deal, but what the Israeli Jews are beginning to do in response, even with no answer from "the other side." G-d forbid — we make room that we don't have, and then they'll come to kill us again — G-d forbid!!!

Thank you so much, DJT and Jared Kushner. How the "mighty" will fall because of you! 

And the Jews will get Geulah Shlemah, be"H!!!

"Just Do It!": Make Aliyah and Be Here for the Redemption!

8 Sivan 5779


This post started out to be the continuation of a previous post, Rainbow Flags: Gay Pride or Noahide? However, it goes beyond the same-gender-attraction theme to...well, possibly the end of the world as we know it. Not because of that alone, but in spite of all the efforts being made to keep it going. The current system seems to be failing from the inside and may never recover.

Am I exaggerating? I don't know yet.

First we have a video from R' Yehuda Richter, "Just Do It" - where he points out the cultural appropriation by Nike, the sneaker (plimsoll, for my British readers) manufacturer, of the concept behind the slogan. After all, people have been criticizing Jews for ages about our impulsivity, which started with our slogan, "Na'aseh v'nishmah!" (We will do [it], and [then] we'll hear [the explanation]!)

sorry, no more video...😒

We did this during our time at Har Sinai because we knew, even back in those days of our exodus from Egypt, that when the Creator of the Universe offers something, it must be taken whole, without "checking it out" first. This is the TORAH, the Holy Word of G-d that believing Jews live by (including the prophets and the writers - Torah is the core and the rest is all encouragement to us to live by it), that we're talking about! Apparently the rest of the world didn't consider Who they were dealing with!

Secondly, we have a high-level explanation of the Israeli government's predicament.

Who knew that there would be so much trouble deciding who will rule over the Jewish State? Apparently a couple of Israel's greatest rabbis did, a fairly long time ago:

Over 40 years ago (1980) Harav Kaduri, zsk'l, has said...

 לפני שיבוא משיח הסימן הוא שיהיו בחירות ויהיה תיקו ולא יצליחו להקים קואלציה ואחר כך יבוא משיח !!!
One of the biggest sign of Moshiach's arrival there will be elections and the 2 main parties will receive similar votes but they will not be able to build a coalition.
And 
20 years ago, Harav Eliezer Abuchazera, zsk'l, said, "Moshiach will come when Israel will be unable to build a coalition"
“וּבְנֵי פָּרִיצֵי עַמְּךָ יִנַּשְּׂאוּ לְהַעֲמִיד חָזוֹן וְנִכְשָׁלוּ”
In the time of Moshiach, they will not be able to form a coalition and will fail
Nava of Dreaming of Moshiach there calculates the time from the dissolving of the 20th Knesset (the last successful Knesset) on 18 Tevet 5779 until the upcoming elections on 17 Elul, which turns out to be...9 months (266 days) of birth pangs...
***Many thanks to Devash for her two posts on 4 and 8 [later deleted - HDG] Sivan respectively.***

Meanwhile, a third factor has come up: our "cousins" who live among us plan on an uprising against US President Trump, taking it out on us as is their wont...and what is our leadership going to do about it? Can they even operate properly under these conditions?

And if not, will they realize that they don't deserve to govern AT ALL? That the whole system is set up to operate against the Jews and therefore ROTTEN TO THE CORE??? 
That the whole question is not whether Jews should come home to live in Eretz Yisrael, but how we should be governed here, by whom and under what kind of government?
(Parenthetically, the remark by MK Avigdor (Evette) Liberman that his party, Yisrael Beytenu, doesn't want a Halachic state in Israel, based on what words attributed to MK Betzalel Smotrich and admitted to have taken place IN A YESHIVA  (Mercaz haRav, no less) on Yom Yerushalayim to YESHIVA STUDENTS, may have precipitated all this, even though the decision to go to elections had already been made. (BTW, did you notice this in the previous link? Yisrael Beytenu wasn't the only one who refused; Kulanu was waiting for YB to join before signing the agreement they'd made...and so when YB didn't join, Kulanu's voters also wasted their votes...and all of us lost thereby.) 

We will see whether HaShem will show Himself now, in a time of favor for the Jewish People, for His own Name's sake. 
Ron Jager's article, "Religious coercion issue could weaken the Right in the coming election," and a lot of the results of searching for MK Smotrich's comments show how the shame of prominent Jews on both sides of the aisle about what HaShem really intends for us is what is generating all the lashon hara against us, including the accusations of racism. Let's stop it already, and consider what is really involved, as opposed to what is assumed. If we were to actually demonstrate what this is, the talk would stop.
Notice that in this video about Smotrich's statements, his remarks are not heard and translated, but just talked about. WHAT DID HE REALLY SAY? And won't the Xians who commented on this be shocked by what really happens...)

Back in Shevat (late January 2019) we heard that Mashiah would be revealed before the elections. Now that elections are on again because no coalition was formed, it could still happen — not between Tazria and Metzora, but possibly between Ki Tetze' and Ki Tavo'.

Remember, R' Kanievsky never said which parshiot would be involved. I did, based on the timing of the elections then as well as now. I'm no prophet or great rabbi, and I never claimed to be. Just an observer in my homeland who wants The Forever Geula already. That's why I've been here - and why you should come too, if you're not already here.

And if geula doesn't happen according to this schedule (as hasn't happened in the last 2,000 years), don't worry. It will happen and we will wait for it! I don't know about you, but I'd rather be here in any case.

May my readers be blessed.

...But Did the American People Win?

9 Heshvan 5777

Ah. "Democracy" at its finest. -Yeah, right.

As we all know now, Donald J. Trump, otherwise known as "The Donald," won the American Presidential election that took place two days ago.

It was a knock-down, drag-out fight between him and his opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton. As it has been for a long time, but more obviously now, the Presidential race was between bad and worse, between menuval מנוול and menuvelet b'yoter מנוולת ביותר (meaning: evil, wicked, contemptible - the "b'yoter" means the most; menuvelet b'yoter means the most evil, etc.). I did not vote.

I was small at the time, but I remember well the debates between John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Richard Milhous Nixon; so I have some basis for comparison. Those who also remember will understand.

The following audio file of Tamar Yonah's interview with Professor Francisco Gil-White should clarify why, even in the best of circumstances, with the very highest caliber candidates, a vote in an American Presidential election makes no difference whatsoever. While, as intended, there is no center of power among the three official branches of government (for those who need the reminder, they are executive, legislative and judicial), there is a hidden center of power in the American government, either unknown or ignored by most people. It is the intelligence services: mainly the FBI and CIA, but perhaps there are others as well.

I have also written about it here.






 I liked Prof. Gil-White's suggestion that if we want to change our voting system, we should boycott voting, or withhold our vote en masse. My question for him is: Is there any legislation anywhere that declares a vote invalid if too few people (too small a percentage) participate? That would be where the system itself has to check itself in order to stay relevant. Otherwise, all we're doing is letting a minuscule minority decide our future for us. And what happens if a vote gets invalidated? Do we still have to put up with the wicked government we have/the devil we know? Any peaceful way out?

I have one two suggestions for President-elect Trump: If you want to fundamentally "make America great again," you might want to start with fighting to repeal the National Security Act of 1947. But watch your back!

Furthermore, if you want to continue to be blessed by G-d, as you were in the election, you might want to help Jews who want to make aliyah to Israel, to do so, and quit insisting that Arab Muslims who want us dead should remain among us.

As for me, I would rather have Mashiach, Har haBayit, the Knesset haG'dolah (Sanhedrin)...in short, Complete Redemption. Geulah Shlemah גאולה שלימה.
