People feel they have problems and difficulties, when in reality the problem exists solely in their minds. When you have a problem, ask yourself, "How would I view this problem if someone else were in this situation? Would I consider this a valid problem or not?" This can help you gain a more objective perspective. Love Yehuda Lave Trump Family Donated Bigly to Jewish, Israeli Causes Some 50 years ago, real estate developer Fredrick Trump was among the main donors to the Beach Haven Jewish Center at 723 Ave. Z in Flatbush, NY. Israeli media have reported several important donations made in years past by both the late Fred Trump and his son, now President Elect Donald Trump. Some 50 years ago, real estate developer Fredrick Trump donated the land for the Talmud Torah of the Beach Haven Jewish Center at 723 Ave. Z in Flatbush, NY, as can be seen from a promotional image released by that institution. The center is open and active to this day, offering programs for youth and the elderly, as well as an active synagogue. And Fred's son Donald, as reported by Yediot Ahronot, donated heavily on both occasions when Israelis who had been expelled from their homes by their own government needed assistance to resettle. Donald Trump donated in the 1980s, to help build new infrastructure for the Israelis removed from the northern Sinai by the Begin government, which returned the peninsula to Egypt as part of the peace agreement. Then, in 2005, Trump gave again, to help resettle the Jews of Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip, exiled by the Ariel Sharon government. Effie Stenzler, former chairman of the Jewish National Fund, told Yediot that JNF approached Trump, among other wealthy supporters of Israel, for funds to build an infrastructure in new communities established for the exiled, and the real estate magnate gave generously. Donald Trump's name even appears on a plaque in Moshav Dekel, in the Eshkol region, where his money went to build greenhouses, homes and roads for the evacuees. Wow.

Joel 4:2 (The Israel Bible™) Michael Pence, the Vice President-elect, is a long-time ardent supporter of Israel, but it turns out that his connection to the Holy Land goes deeper than even he knows: the Evangelical Christian from Indiana has Orthodox Jewish relatives, one of whom lives in the Golan Heights and is eager to meet his cousin. The genealogical connection centers around Tamsen (Tammy) Socher, a Jewish grandmother living in West Los Angeles. She spent most of her life in the San Fernando Valley, but when she moved to Ohio, eight years ago, she felt a need to maintain a connection to her family and became interested in genealogy. Her search quickly led her to a relative, Richard Pence, an amateur genealogist. She was impressed by his work. "Some people just want to fill in the blanks, but Richard really worked hard at getting it right," Tammy said in an interview with Breaking Israel News. Tammy realized that Pence was not a common name. "It doesn't really come from England. It was one of those made-up Ellis Island names, so we are all connected. I haven't met a 'Pence' yet who wasn't a relative." Most of her family was from Indiana, so Tammy asked Richard if Michael Pence, then an Indiana congressman, was a relative. Richard, who is now deceased, answered that the Michael Pence was indeed her fourth cousin on her father's side. Tammy tried to contact Pence at the time but was unsuccessful. The Vice president-elect is aware of this family connection. When he was on the campaign trail, Tammy's cousin Merrill Socher-Axelrod, an Israeli citizen living in Michigan, went to a campaign event. Michael Pence showed up late but Merrill hurried to be photographed with her famous relative. When she stood next to him, she told him quickly, "You have Orthodox Jewish cousins in Israel. Here is some family lineage. Your cousins are my cousins." She handed him a letter from Tammy describing the family connection. It noted that several of his relatives are religious Jews, and at least one lives in Israel. Included in the information was a personal invitation from Tammy's son, Jesse, inviting his vice-presidential cousin to come visit him in his Golan home the next time Pence is in Israel. Jesse Socher told Breaking Israel News that his invitation was sincere. Jesse Socher and his son, in an IDF uniform. (Courtesy Jesse Socher) "I know he probably won't take me up on it, but I support him and he seems like a nice guy," Socher said. "If he comes to Israel, I would love to get together." Jesse is realistic about the significance of this family connection. "When it comes to making political decisions, I doubt that it makes a difference to him that he has family in the Golan. But it does say a lot about how interconnected Israel and America are." Pence has visited Israel several times and has referred to Israel as "America's most cherished ally." In 2014, he headed a high-level business delegation from his state on a visit to Israel sponsored by Christians United for Israel. In 2016, he signed into law a bill which would ban Indiana from having any commercial dealings with companies that boycotts Israel. Pence has also said that he opposes a Palestinian state. Quoted as saying he was "a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order," his support for Israel is more based on ideology than politics. In an address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in 2009, Pence assured the audience, "Let me say emphatically, like the overwhelming majority of my constituents, my Christian faith compels me to cherish the State of Israel."

Click here...                                                             Rabbi Yehuda Lave Intensify Your Will to Become Grateful Make it a high priority to become a person who is consistently grateful. Let this be an important goal. "Nothing stands in the way of a strong will." This principle is the source of the success of successful people. Those who achieve excellence in any area need to have a strong will to take action. If you are not yet a person who has mastered gratitude, intensify your will to do so. The stronger your will, the more likely you will succeed. Studies show that people who make goals are much more successful at whatever they do than those who don't make goals. Without making a formal study of it, it appears quite obvious that there are many more people who make it their goal to make more money than there are people who have it as their goal to master gratitude. A person who has great wealth will still be unhappy if he hasn't also mastered gratitude.

There is no better life than helping others have a better life

Click here...                                                             Rabbi Yehuda Lave Be Glad You Didn't When people think about happiness, they usually think about being happy for positive things that occur. Rabbi Simcha Zissel of Kelm, (1824-1898) wrote to his students to appreciate what didn't happen. He commented on a puzzling custom that he saw. When a shirt would fall from a clothesline down into the dirt, some people would say, "I am grateful that I wasn't in that shirt." It sort of makes you want to smile, doesn't it? He explained that people play games and listen to music in order to enjoy life. Developing the habit of being grateful for all the wrong things that didn't occur in your life will add to your daily dose of enjoyment. When you learn to appreciate what didn't happen, it's mind- boggling how many bad things don't happen to you in one day. I've told some people to make a daily list of ten bad things that didn't happen to them. Some find this unpleasant. And for them there are other paths to appreciation. Love Yehuda Lave Pollard Files Brief in Appellate Court Pollard Files Brief in Appellate Court By Avraham Weissman Monday, November 14, 2016 at 2:42 pm http://hamodia.com/2016/11/14/pollard-files-brief-appellate-court/ NEW YORK - Attorneys for Jonathan Pollard filed on Monday a 35-page brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, asking the court to overturn the decision by a lower court judge rejecting a habeus corpus petition seeking the removal of broad and severe parole restrictions. A legal observer who has been following the Pollard case for many years, and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, told Hamodia that he found the brief to be "compelling." "It sets forth some very persuasive and cogent arguments," he said. Pollard, who was released from prison last November after serving an unprecedented 30 years for passing classified information to an ally – Israel – is currently required to wear a GPS monitoring system that consists of a non-removable transmitter installed on his wrist, and a receiver that is plugged into an outlet in his Manhattan residence. Whenever he moves outside the range of the receiver, the transmitter — which is three inches long and two inches wide — acts as a GPS tracker and monitors his location. Were Pollard to step out of his tiny studio apartment to daven with a minyan or get some fresh air on Shabbos or Yom Tov, the battery would begin to drain, forcing him to choose between violating Shabbos or facing re-arrest. The parole restrictions also include a "curfew" that puts him under house arrest between 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. During the daytime, he is only permitted to travel in parts of Manhattan, and is even prohibited from visiting nearby Brooklyn. The restrictions also include the unfettered monitoring and inspection of his computers, as well as those of any employer who chooses to hire him, which has prevented him from being able to gain employment. In the brief, written by a team of lawyers led by his long-time pro-bono attorneys Eliot Lauer Jacques Semmelman, Pollard argues that there is "no rational relationship between the Special Conditions and what the [Parole] Commission says it seeks to achieve with them." "The Commission concluded that because the documents Pollard compromised remain classified as 'Secret' and 'Top Secret,' Pollard automatically poses a threat to national security because he saw them 31 years ago," the brief says. "The missing link is that the Commission failed to find that Pollard himself still remembers – or can remember – any classified information. Aerial photographs, lines of computer code, signals intelligence manuals, and other such documents are not the types of documents that can be reproduced from memory." In her lengthy ruling, Judge Katherine B. Forrest of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York had repeatedly referred to what she felt was the court's limited authority to overrule a finding by the U.S. Parole Commission. "Federal court review of parole commission decisions is extremely limited, because the commission has been granted broad discretion," Forrest wrote, citing several earlier court rulings. "Courts apply the same deferential standard when a parolee challenges special conditions imposed by the Commission … The appropriate standard for review of the commission's decisions is whether there has been an abuse of discretion. This means that a court may not substitute its own judgment for that of the commission, but may consider only whether there is a rational basis for the commission's decision." But in their brief, Pollard's lawyers argued that "the parole statute requires that an imposition of special parole conditions be reasonably related to the parolee's history and characteristics … Meaningful judicial review under this standard means that the Special Conditions cannot merely bear a theoretical relationship to past conduct, but must bear a reasonable relationship based on rational determinations." They point out that in its attempt to justify the GPS Monitoring Condition, the Commission relied in large part upon Pollard's underlying crime of 31-plus years ago, claiming that his "base offense of espionage was by definition an exercise in deception and furtive movements that included trips abroad and a false identity … "However, the Commission did not explain how GPS tracking bears any connection to that behavior. All crimes involve 'furtive movements' in the sense that the offender sought to avoid detection when committing them. If that were the test, all parolees would be automatically subject to GPS tracking, which is not the case," the lawyers argue. "If Pollard were truly a disclosure risk, the government never would have permitted him (as it did) to communicate freely with federal prisoners in general population for 20 years. Nor would it now permit him (as it has) to meet with and talk with anyone, anywhere in the Southern District, or to correspond by mail with anyone, anywhere in the world. In light of what the government permits Pollard to do, a requirement that he submit to a monitor on his physical location and on his employer's computers — and a nighttime curfew — is not rational." ________________________________________ IMRA - Independent Media Review and Analysis WOW! 10 spectacular rainbows over Israel https://goo.gl/kCjDoD Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man Obama family vacations cost the taxpayers over $100 million Trump says no vacations and no salary; if he sticks to it, that could save the USA 100 million compared to the Obamas:) http://nationalreport.net/obama-family-vacations-surpass-1…/ After watching the 60 Minutes Interview, I think everyone should chill out and give him a chance.
