THE LATEST NEWS

LISTENING TO THE NEWS AND PHONE-IN PROGRAMS THIS MORNING.
WHEN A SECOND JOURNALIST HAS BEEN KILLED, SUDDENLY THEY ARE ALL SAYING, " WE MUST HIT THEM BACK HARD, WITH BOMBS AND GROUND TROOPS ".
IT IS INTERESTING WHAT THE SAME PEOPLE WERE  SAYING ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN ISRAEL WAS ATTACKED BY THOUSANDS OF BOMBS THAT THEY ( the Israelis ) WERE NOT JUSTIFIED IN GOING INTO GAZA. 
CAN THESE PEOPLE EXPLAIN ME THE DIFFERENCE ? ? ? ?
( I know the difference and Jewish people should not be fooled and realise the difference).
I THINK THE WORLD SHOULD PULL OUT ALL JOURNALISTS FROM THESE COUNTRIES.
 ALSO ALL NEWS SHOULD BE BLACK LISTED FROM THESE COUNTRIES.
 AS I EXPLAINED IN MY LAST BLOG THE ISRAELI / GAZA WAR STOPPED WHEN GAZA RAN OUT OF AMMO AND STOPPED BOMBING ISRAEL THE ISRAELIS STOPPED BOMBING THEM.
LETS PRAY TO G=D THAT THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND IT HOLDS.
WORLD POLITICS ARE NOT THAT COMPLICATED.  

THE CONFLICT

 I HAVE BEEN TALKING  TO JEWS AND NON-JEWS ABOUT THE THE CONFLICT
 GOING ON BETWEEN ISRAEL AND GAZA.
THANK G=D THERE IS A TRUCE NOW.
 ON THE RADIO THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHY IS THERE SUDDENLY A TRUCE ?
WHO IS ISRAEL SCARED OF ?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, AS SOON AS THE ARABS HAVE STOPPED SENDING THEIR
BOMBS THE ISRAELI DO THE SAME AND THERE IS A TRUCE. 
THE WHOLE WAR ONLY STARTED BECAUSE THEY WERE BOMBING ISRAEL.
NOW THEY CAN START TALKING ABOUT A SEA PORT, AN AIR PORT, OPENING THE BOARDERS, HAVING NORMAL TOURISTS ( This is not going to be in one day but it can happen) ONCE THEY START THINKING OF NORMAL LIFE AND PROSPERITY FOR THEIR PEOPLE AND LEARN TO LIVE SIDE BY SIDE ( They need re-education about the values of life ).
AS LONG AS THE ARABS HAVE IN THEIR HEADS THAT THEY HAVE TO WIPE OUT ISRAEL AND THEIR BOMBS ARE JUSTIFIED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE KILLING PEOPLE  ( there are lots of people in the world who think the same ).
 IF THEY  WOULD HAVE USED ALL THE RESOURCES TO HELP THEIR PEOPLE MAKE A BETTER LIFE THEN THE ISRAELIS WOULD NOT HAVE CLOSED THE BOARDERS.  THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROSPERITY IN GAZA ( It could have been the MONACO of the middle east ).
ON THE OTHER HAND THE ISRAELI AND THE JEWS ARE TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS LOGIC TO THE ARABS AND THE WORLD.
THE JEW DOES NOT UNDERSTAND (especially the Israeli Jew ) THAT THE WORLD  HATES HIM ( fair or not).
THEY ARE JUSTIFIED IN KILLING US BUT WE ARE NOT JUSTIFIED IN KILLING THEM.

NEVER AGAIN ! ! ! !  NEVER AGAIN ! ! ! !

  

RAV ELCHONON WASSERMAN HY"D

IN LAST WEEKS' JEWISH TRIBUNE 21 / 08 / 2014, THERE WAS  A FANTASTIC FEATURE ON " IKVESA D'MESHICHA"  ON RAV ELCHONON WASSERMAN HY"D
HOW HE LOOKED AT THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD IN 1937
AND HOW WE MUST LOOK AT PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD TO-DAY.
IN 1937 THE UNITED STATES WAS A SPIRITUAL WILDERNESS AT THAT TIME.
RAV ELCHONON VISITED MANY AMERICAN CITIES DELIVERING IMPASSIONED ADDRESSES TO HUGE CROWDS WHEREVER HE WENT.
SOME BECAME COMPLETE " BAALEI TESHUVAH " AS A RESULT OF THEIR ENCOUNTERS WITH HIM.
HE RETURNED TO POLAND  WHEN STORM CLOUDS HUNG OVER POLAND.
I HEARD THIS FROM MRS STERNBUCH OF LONDON MYSELF.
 SHE TOLD ME WHAT RAV ELCHONON WASSERMAN SAID TO HER.
" THESE ARE THE BIRTH PANGS OF MOSHIACH AND IT HAS BEEN DECREED UPON US TO BEAR THEM. A PERSON CAN NOT AVOID HIS ASSIGNED PORTION OF THE BIRTH PANGS OF MOSHIACH ."
REB ELCHONON CITES THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATION OF THE CHOFETZ CHAYIM.
" TO-DAY, WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THE WORLD IS UNDERGOING MAJOR CHANGES WHICH,IN EARLIER GENERATIONS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF CENTURIES.
EVERY INTELLIGENT PERSON UNDERSTANDS THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A UNIQUE PERID.
ONE THAT IS DESTINED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE WORLD ORDER.
REB ELCHONON APPLIED THE VERSE FOUND IT THE TOCHOCHOH ( Reproof ).
" YOU SHALL BE MAD FROM THE SIGHT OF YOUR EYES " ( Devorim 28:34 ).
THIS PUNISHMENT, APPLIES ONLY TO THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THE HAPPENINGS THROUGH HUMAN REASONING, BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ONE WHO DELVES INTO THE TORAH FOR UNDERSTANDING.
 FOR THEM ALL IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
HASHEM WILL " JUDGE " HIS NATION WITH SUFFERING AND AFFLICTION, BUT IN THE END, HE WILL REDEEM THEM FROM EXILE.
HE WHO PROVIDES LIFE, PROVIDES SUSTENANCE HOWEVER A WEAKENING OF EMUNAH HAS BROUGHT WITH IT A WEAKENING IN BITOCHON.
MANY PARENTS BELIEVE THAT A SECULAR EDUCATION WILL GUARANTEE MATERIAL NEEDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES (or marrying rich )
THE TORAH TELLS US: " AND I WILL SEPARATE YOU FROM THE NATIONS TO BE MINE. "
WHEN A JEW FINISHES HIS DAYS' WORK, HE MUST IMMERSE HIMSELF IN TORAH STUDY.
RAV ELCHONON WROTE HIS ESSAY AT A TIME WHEN JEWS WERE A PRIME TOPIC OF DISCUSSION A SITUATION IN WHICH WE FIND OURSELVES TO-DAY.
WE MUST REMAIN FIRM IN OUR EMUNAH AND HOW IS THIS ACCOMPLISHED ? ?                   ONLY THROUGH TORAH ! ! !

BEING A JEW

LATELY WHEN I WALKED IN THE STREET BEING RECOGNISED AS A JEW,  PEOPLE SHOUT OUT OF THEIR CARS ( especially because of the situation in Gaza ) JEW, YID  ! ! !

THEY THINK I AM EMBARRASSED AT BEING JEWISH AND WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM.

I AM  VERY PLEASED THAT THEY RECOGNISE ME AS A JEW.
I AM A JEW AND WANT TO BE A JEW.
I AM PROUD AT BEING JEWISH AS IS WRITTEN IN OUR PRAYERS:
" YOU HAVE CHOSEN US FROM ALL THE PEOPLES AND HAVE PROCLAIMED YOUR GREAT AND HOLY NAME UPON US ".
I AM GOING TO PROVE TO YOU THAT PRAYER IS TRUE.
MORE KILLINGS ARE GOING ON IN THE ARAB WORLD THEN IN GAZA.
WE HARDLY HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ON THE MEDIA. 
ALL DAY THE RADIO AND TELEVISION ARE FULL OF ISRAEL AND GAZA BUT MORE PEOPLE AND BIGGER ATROCITIES ARE BEING DONE IN THE ARAB WORLD.
THE ANSWER IS IN THE PRAYER YOU HAVE CHOSEN US FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLE
AND THAT IS WHAT EVERY JEW NEEDS TO BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE( frum or not ).

ANTI-SEMITISM AND THE JEWS

 BEING A RELIGIOUS JEW I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY G=D LETS
 ANTI-SEMITISM SPREAD TO HIS PEOPLE.
WHY DO JEWS HAVE TO SUFFER IN THIS WAY.
I ANSWER THEM  THAT ANTI-SEMITISM  IS A GREAT SAVIOUR TO KEEPING THE JEWISH PEOPLE JEWISH.
BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR THE JEWS OF GERMANY WERE MORE GERMANS THEN THE GERMANS, THEY DRESSED AND RESPECTED THE GERMAN CULTURE.
BUT HITLER YM"S AND HIS AT ANTI JEWISH ATTITUDE STARTED NOT IN POLAND OR HUNGARY BUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE JEWS TRIED TO BE AS MUCH GERMANS AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR BEHAVIOUR AND DRESS.
THERE WAS VERY STRONG ASSIMILATION  AND MARRYING-OUT IN GERMANY BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
THANK G=D FOR ANTI-SEMITISM THAT KEEPS THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS A NATION AND JEWISH.
ALL THE PROBLEMS TO THE JEWS COMES FROM JEWISH PEOPLE FORGETTING THAT THEIR DUTY IN LIFE IS TO BEING JEWISH.
SO ANTI-SEMITISM IS NOT G=D'S DOING BUT OUR FAULT FOR WANTING TO DROP OUR JEWISHNESS.
IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN JEWISH BY NOT ASSIMILATING AND MARRING OUT THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANTI-SEMITISM.

 ANTI-SEMITISM IS OUR FAULT ! ! !

NOT WHERE WAS G=D,  WHERE WERE WE ? ? ?     

ROLE MODELS

IN LIFE WE MAKE ROLE MODELS OF PEOPLE. 
IN THE JEWISH WORLD RABBIS AND LAY LEADERS ETC. ETC. ARE LOOKED UP UPON.
 THE SAME IS IN THE NON-JEWISH WORLD. FILM STARS, FOOTBALLERS, THE ROYAL FAMILY, AND POLITICIANS, ETC. ETC.
WHEN THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT DOING SOMETHING WHICH WE DO NOT EXPECT FROM THEM SOMEONE OF THEIR STATUES WE ARE SURPRISED.
THE MISTAKE WAS NOT IN THEM, BUT IN US FOR LOOKING UP TO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
G=D DID NOT MAKE ANYBODY PERFECT. 
AS WE SAY IN OUR BLESSINGS:
WHO CREATES NUMEROUS LIVING THINGS WITH DEFICIENCIES.
THERE IS NO REASON TO MAKE ANYBODY INTO A ROLE MODEL.
PEOPLE IN WHATEVER SITUATION IN LIFE HAVE TO VALUE THEIR MISTAKES AND APPRECIATE THAT G=D GAVE THEM A PRECIOUS THING THAT IS CALLED LIFE.  

WHAT THE WORLD WANTS FROM ISRAEL

THE WORLD FORGETS THAT AFTER THE HOLOCAUST THE JEWS SAID NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN ! ! !
AND TO-DAY ISRAEL HAS NOT FORGOTTEN THAT.
IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER WAY ROUND THAT ISRAEL WAS IN RUINS G=D FORBID, NOT GAZA.
 WE WOULD BE WAITING FOR HELP FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
THE U.S AND BRITAIN WERE ASKED TO BOMB AUSCHWITZ DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
THEY ANSWERED WE CAN NOT SPARE BOMBERS.
JEWISH PEOPLE WERE A NON AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE. 
THE GERMANS  COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THOUSANDS WENT INTO THE GAS CHAMBERS WITH ONLY A FEW GUARDS.
NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN ! ! ! ! ! !
YOU, THE CIVILISED WORLD, HAVE TAUGHT US TO BE AS AGGRESSIVE AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU COME WITH THE INTENT OF WIPING OUT ISRAEL, OUR JEWISH PEOPLE
WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO WIPE YOU OUT FIRST.
 IF NOT WE WILL TAKE YOU WITH US.
IF THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT OF US THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT OF YOU.

FORBIDDEN RELATIONSHIPS

THIS IS TO EXPLAIN PEOPLE WHO WANT FORBIDDEN RELATIONSHIPS.

 THE WHOLE DESIRE FOR THE FORBIDDEN RELATIONSHIP IS ONLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT ALLOWED.                                                                                                                                                                                                    IN LIFE WHAT PEOPLE CAN NOT DO OR  HAVE, THEY WANT TO DO.                                                                                                                            TO EXPLAIN THIS CLEARLY MAN AND MAN DO NOT FIT TOGETHER LIKE HUMAN AND ANIMAL DO NOT FIT TOGETHER.                                                                                                                                           IF FOR TWO MINUTES THEY WOULD THINK WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEY WOULD NOT DO IT.                                                                  THE SAME AS TAKING YOUR OWN LIFE AS EXPLAINED ON MY BLOG.

A G=D FEARING  JEW LEARNS TO  LIVE WITH HIS BRAIN NOT HIS EMOTIONS ! !                                                                                      THAT'S WHAT G=D WANTS.

FACING YOUR PROBLEMS

I WAS TALKING TO A FEW PEOPLE TO-DAY ABOUT THE NEWS THAT COMIC GENIUS ROBIN WILLIAMS WHO TOOK HIS OWN LIFE HE WAS ONLY 63.
THEY FELT SORRY FOR HIM.
 THEY SAID: " HE WAS ILL SUFFERING FROM SEVERE DEPRESSION. "
I ANSWERED THEM: " SOMEONE WHO TAKES HIS OWN LIFE BECAUSE HE IS SUFFERING IS A NOT A NORMAL PERSON, HE HAS NOT THOUGHT THROUGH THE SITUATION.
IF SOME ONE WOULD HAVE SET DOWN WITH HIM AND TALKED THROUGH THE PROBLEMS HE HAS AND SHOWN HIM TAKING YOUR LIFE IS NOT THE ANSWER. 
NUMBER ONE:
YOU NEVER DO SOMETHING IN DEED OR TO YOURSELF YOU CAN NOT RETRACT ON (once you kill your self there is no being sorry if you cross the road you can always cross back)  BUT ONCE YOUR DEAD YOUR DEAD.
NUMBER TWO:
BE FOR HE KILLED HIM SELF  I WOULD HAVE ASKED HIM HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU ARE DEAD YOU ARE AT PEACE ( It could be that a dead person just looks at peace to us be cause he does not move but all the problems he has had when he was alive are still with him ) LIKE WE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND G=D NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS BEFORE WE ARE BORN AND AFTER WE ARE DEAD.

HURTING SOMEONE ELSE

SCHOOLS, CHADORIM, GIRLS SCHOOLS, YESHVOS, RABBONIM, AND RABBIS
HURT CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG.
DO YOU THINK WHEN THESE CHILDREN GET OLDER THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT SCHOOL REFUSED ME ENTRY AND HURT ME ? ? ? 
OR THIS RABBI OR ROV TALKED BAD ABOUT ME ? ? ?
WHEN I WAS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD I WAS WITH MY TWIN BROTHER IN GATESHEAD BOARDING SCHOOL.
ALL THEY HAD WAS RULES, RULES,AND AGAIN RULES.
 NO LOVE WAS GIVEN TO US CHILDREN.
FRIDAY NIGHT THE GATESHEAD SEM GIRLS USED TO COME TO DAVEN IN THE MINYAN OF THE BOARDING SCHOOL.
THERE WERE TWO GIRLS FROM THE SEM WHOM I KNEW FROM LONDON.
 THEY WERE COUSINS ITA AND LOLA SCHLAFF.
 THEY DAVEND IN LONDON IN PINTERS.
 MY PARENTS ALSO DAVEND THERE.
 EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT THEY DID NOT GO BACK TO THE SEM STRAIGHT AFTER DAVENEN WAS  FINISHED.
 THEY USED TO STOP AND TALK TO US, LOLA BECAME MRS PERLBERGER AND IS SADLY NOT WITH US ANY MORE.
ITA BECAME MRS CYMERMAN AND TO-DAY IS KNOWN AS ITA SIMONS OF THE AGUDA.
TILL THIS VERY DAY I WILL NOT FORGET THE KINDNESS THEY SHOWED TWO LITTLE BOYS.
THE SAME CAN BE SAID ON TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH US THE SAINTLY RABBI MOSHE SCHLOSS AND HIS DEAR HOLY REBBETZEN.
BUT PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IN THE SAME WAY YOU REMEMBER THE GOOD CHILDREN REMEMBER THE BAD DONE TO THEM.
ALL THOSE CHILDREN WHO ARE BADLY TREATED BY SCHOOLS AND GROWN UPS WILL NOT FORGET WHEN THEY GROW UP WHAT YOU DID TO THEM.
IN YEARS TO COME THERE WILL BE MANY MORE GABY LOCKS WHO WILL WRITE ABOUT THE BAD, RABBONIM AND TEACHERS HAVE DONE TO THEM ! ! !
