Get to Heaven Keep the Seven

Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).

This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

Yehuda Lave, Spiritual Advisor and Counselor

Count Your Blessings

Develop a deep sense of appreciation for what you have. The Creator has given you many gifts for your welfare and enjoyment. Realize how foolish it would be for someone to needlessly make himself miserable when he has so much wealth!

Failing to focus on what you have is depriving yourself of much joy. Don't commit this crime against yourself and our Creator.

Make a list of your possessions, in order to increase your appreciation for them. (Remember to include those things that you're most likely to take for granted!)

RABBI MEIR KAHANE'S LAST SPEECH ..."SO YOU SHOOT THE MESSENGER"

[These are Rabbi Meir Kahane's, may G-d avenge his blood, last words to the Jewish people, whom he devoted his life fighting for, going to prison for, trying to warn them of all the dangers they are facing and will eventually face. Twenty eight years ago, after these words that you will read, he was viciously gunned down byEl Sair Nosair an Arab terrorist in Marriot East Hotel, N.Y.C.] November 5, 1990 – Cheshvan, 18, 5751

 

 

 

Rabbi Meir Kahane's last speech urging American Jews to make emergency Aliyah (excerpts of speech)


I was born in this country, and I can't recall ever, in my life, as much open and vicious Jew-hatred as I have seen in our time right now, in this country.  I travel around from city to city, and in every city Jews tell me it is unbearable.  Attacks upon synagogues, attacks upon Jews, all of which are of course buried.  Because the synagogue doesn't want it to be know.  The ADL wants to report "there were 55 incidents this year in the United States", when actually, there were 55 incidents in one hour in the United States.  On radio programs which I am on – the telephone calls – open, open (anti-Semitism).

 

Two Reasons for Increased Anti-Semitism

           

            What has happened?  What has happened in natural terms?  Of course, in divine terms, the Almighty is ending it for us.  But what is happening in natural terms?  Two basic changes have taken place in this country over the last twenty years.  It began slowly, now it is reaching its crescendo.  We have seen the death of what I call the "Auschwitz syndrome".  What is the "Auschwitz syndrome"?  After World War II, it was hard to be an anti-Semite, even for an anti-Semite.  It was just difficult.  And then the years passed – ten years, twenty years, twenty-five years, thirty years, and a generation arose which was not born at that time.  And the "Auschwitz syndrome" began to fade away, and the guilt began to fade away.  No matter how many Holocaust programs were shown on television, every year they had less and less impact.  Indeed, they reach a point whereby they encourage anti-Semitism, whereupon the anti-Semite says: " Hey, you know, I know Jews, and the Nazis, and they were probably right." That's what happens today.  It fades away.  And to help things along, there was the rise of a strong Israel. Suddenly, Israel was winning.  And that allowed the anti-Semite to cut the albatross.  Now it was OK.  You see, the Jew are Nazis, and they persecute the Palestinians, and now it was OK.  So the "Auschwitz syndrome" faded, and it's gone for all practical purposes.  And you hear people speak about the holocaust that the Israelis are perpetrating upon the Palestinians. A Holocaust…So all the Israelis and all the Jews who ever called me a Nazi and didn't realize that when you call a Jew a Nazi, you cheapen the Holocaust.  And you cheapen the concept of Nazi, which is a very unique thing.  And by you calling a second Jew a Nazi, what you are telling the world is" Jews can also be Nazis.  Foolish people and tiny dwarfs and pygmies, grasshoppers.     

 

            So the "Auschwitz syndrome" is gone. And another thing has happened.  After World War II, and until perhaps ten years ago, the American people lived in an economic luxury such as we have not seen ever in world history.  No Roman emperor lived as well as the average American did from World War II on, until fairly recently.  Life was good.  And when life is good, the anti-Semite hates Jews quietly.  It's not a big deal to him.  He hates Jews, but he's too interested in the Monday night football game.  I myself am amazed that so many people are here tonight that don't want to see the Giants massacre the Colts…

 

The Economic Crises

           

            So when times are good and he has his job, he has his beer and he has his TV set, he has everything – he hates Jews, but it's not that important to him.  But as the economic sands of time begin to run out, and as things get bad and they get worse and suddenly there is a chill, there is a fear.  I can sense a fear in this country – people are afraid of what is going to happen, and they have every right to fear it.  This is a country which is on the verge of economic horror, horror.  In two years they expect the national debt to go from 3.7 trillion to 5 trillion dollars, so they work for months and months – this fiasco between Congress and this administration – and they say, "we are going to cut 500 million dollars in five years".  Five years!  It is a joke – It's a drop in the bucket.  This is a country which is dying because the thing that was saving it was the fact that the Japanese are buying Rockefeller Center, Rockefeller Plaza – don't be angry.  If they stopped buying  it, no one is going to cover the national debt.  And they are stopping.

 


The dollar is a weak dollar today.  Can you imagine: The Israeli shekel has held its own against the dollar now for a year.  Don't clap!  It doesn't mean that the Israeli shekel is strong.  The shekel is weak; the dollar is just as weak.  The Japanese don't want dollars anymore, they want German marks.  And they're investing now in South Korea, Thailand, Singapore.  The banks here are shaking, they're tottering.  In their greed, in the 1960's and 70's, they gave loans to anybody.  The Congo came – you want money, take the money.  Mexico came – take 100 million dollars – take, take it, take.  Suddenly, the Congo couldn't pay back.  If that's what a banker is…did he expect the Congo to ever pay back in total?  So hundreds of millions of bad loans are being held by major banks:  Chase Manhattan, Citicorp – and they are in deep, deep trouble today.  And on top of that, suddenly the real estate market has collapsed and they are now holding several more hundred million dollars of bad mortgages.  That's the tragedy.  That's why suddenly, there's a hurry talk about Chase merging with City. 

 

There's a myth that your money is insured for $100,000. If the FDIC had 60 cents for every hundred dollars that you have, I'll swim back to Israel.  There is a myth that they are going to bail out the Savings & Loan with 40 billion dollars.  If they can make it with less than half a trillion, it will be a miracle.

 


So for years, the new economists said, "Don't worry about deficits, it doesn't matter.  Deficits don't matter?  I know that when my bank account is in deficit, it matters to me.  The bank calls me up and says, "Rav Kahane, we have a little problem.  Would you like to come and cover it?"  A city can go a little deeper into debt than I can, and a state deeper yet, and a country can go a little deeper yet; but, in the end you have to pay the piper.  So, America has lived beyond its means – extra credit, credit cards – and give anybody credit, give kids credit cards – anybody.  Now it's time to pay the piper, there is no money, there is no money.  And should the economic collapse come it is the Jew who will be blamed.  It is the Jew.  You can hear it already. You can small it in the air.

 

The Racial tension – In all Colors

           

            I was on a radio program in Chicago.  Every single caller blamed the Gulf oil crisis on the Jews.  Every single call.  What you have now is the getting together of all these crises – the economic crisis, the racial crisis – and there is a serious racial crisis in the country.  It's a serious one.  It is a dangerous one. Whites hate Blacks and Blacks hate Whites and they both hate Jews.  It is a terrible, terrible thing.  It's not just Whites and Blacks.  Now in the West, it's the Hispanics and the Anglos – tremendous crises, which only proves all the more the myth of the melting pot. Uh nechtiga tag –what melting pot? A melting pot is fine until there is a terrible crisis and then two "objects' occupy the same job at the same time.  That's a law of physics, which I've changed a bit…

           

            So it's not an accident that Jesse Helms is now putting on TV ads talking about the unfairness of quotas.  Quotas are unfair.  Of course, that is his trump card.  People are angry about quotas and affirmative action, etc.  And Blacks are angry.  You think that Blacks have no argument?  You think they are all bad? – that everything the Blacks do is wrong?  You think that Bob Grant is your kind of guy?  G-d forbid!  This Jew-hating fascist type.  That he says something good many, many times –you're right.  You think that bad people don't often say correct things?  Of course they do – but watch him, watch him and be careful of such people!  People who are anti-Black will always be anti-Jewish too.  One doesn't have to love Farrakhan or Jesse Jackson to realize that he should be careful of racism of all kinds – White and Black – be careful, because we get stuck in the middle.  Because the Whites and Blacks hate us both.

 

The Pre-War Depression: Not a Criteria

           

            We have a serious problem – the economic crisis cannot be averted. There is no way.  This country is in for terrible, terrible times.  People tell me in the depression it was also bad.  It's true.  But first of all, who knows what would have happened in this country if World War II had not ended the depression?  If you think that Roosevelt ended it, you don't know history.  World War II ended it.  It gave jobs finally, but more to the point, it was a different era back then.  The American people at that time were a much stronger people in character.  Today, after 40-50 years of good life and soft life, and the materialistic life, people are into themselves.  Unbelievable ego. Everything is me, me – my life, my body, my-me, my-mine.  People are incapable today of making sacrifices and that's the great, great difference between today and what happened in the depression.  The person who is fairly poor and gets poorer – not so terrible. The person who has it and lost it becomes a wild animal, a raging animal. He'll not accept it and will look for a scapegoat.  He'll look for some target to blame.  We Jews are the most visible, the most highly visible in terms of power, in terms of money.  Of course, Wasps have more money than Jews have.  Certainly, Jews are not into U.S. Steel and banking and so on, and the real, real money is not Jewish money, but that doesn't matter because Jews are in those professions that are most visible.

 

How to Gauge anti-Semitism: Go to a Bar

           

            So in the bars, it sits the jealousy and the envy of the Jews which leads to hate.  The tragedy as I've said a million times is that the average Jewish leader in this country has no idea what people say ago about Jews in bars, because the average Jew doesn't go into a bar – and he should; he should be compelled to go into a bar.  Every rabbi before getting "smicha", before being ordained, should be compelled to go into a bar and find out what the real world is like. It isn't a joke.  I'm serious.  To hide in some little ghetto, you never know what the world is.  They hate us with a passion out there, with a virulence which is frightening to see and to hear.  On every radio program I go on, I hear, "why should we give you guys three billion dollars a year"?  Anytime some fellow from the Israeli consulate is asked that question, he comes up with the answer, "well, we help you too, etc."  Baloney!  The only way to get rid of that question is to answer as I do, "I don't want the money!  I want Israel to be a free enterprise state and allow private enterprise to flourish and then we don't want your money, I don't want your charity."  So, that of course gets rid of the question, but it doesn't get rid of the anti-Semite.  He'll go home mutter in his beer and pretzels. He's still there.  He's still there.

 

Role of the Prophet – To See It and say It

           

            The rabbis tell us that G-d told Moses and Aaron.  "I'll make you Jewish leaders on one condition that if they throw stones at you, you'll accept it."  Rather to be pelted with stones and not with dollars.  That's what a Jewish leader has to be!  Say the bitter truth, even though they won't like you.  They won't like you; they'll attack you, but tell the Jews the truth if you love them.  If you love Jews, tell them the things which will make them angry, but which can save their lives.  That's what you have to do!  Think carefully about what I'm saying, and that is why we created this group called ZEERO, Zionist Emergency Evacuation Rescue Organization.  It's a name that provokes.  And we hope that as we spread this idea it will provoke Jewish leaders to attack so we can debate the controversy that arises.  People will say he's right; he's wrong, and so on.  Of course, this is probably the worst thing you can ever tell any Jewish leader, any Federation leader – that he should leave here, and go to Israel.  What'ill do there? .

           

            The rabbis say: "Who is wise?  He who sees the future".  It's no big deal to see "today."  A Jewish leader has to see tomorrow.

 

Living in Israel – Difficult; Living Elsewhere – Impossible

           

            It is coming here!  It is coming here!  Friday night I spoke in Brooklyn in shul, and I had to walk through Bensonhurst, a white neighborhood – nice people, because they're white…Watching the people, the kids, you can smell the violence, you can see the hate, you can see the envy – frustrated, bored, looking for action.  You can see it.  Those are the potential mobs.  And G-d forbid, we will see it.  So ZEERO is a very serious project of Kach, and I mean a serious one.  And I know how hard it is to go to Israel – it is really hard.  Hard to make a living.  My son goes into the army every single year.  It's dangerous and so on.  All of it is true.  Everything that's all true.  That's all true.  It's hard to live in Israel, but it will be impossible to live here, and if we go to Israel, at least there we can change the country.  Of course we can change it and make it better and make it tremendous and make it safe.  Of curse we can do that if we have the power in the government, but here there is nothing you can do to change it, it's out of our hands.  We are a minority and we are strangers here.  We're stranger in this land, no matter how many years we've been here.

 

           

            It's not an accident that so few German Jews survived the camps.  The Polish Jew did better.  Why?  Because the Polish Jew wasn't surprised.  It didn't shock him that gentiles could behave like this.  It didn't surprise him, so he wasn't shattered inside, he wasn't' broken.  But the German Jew was psychologically shattered.  How could this be?  I'm a German. I'm a German.  How could it be?  How can you do this to me?  The Pole knew he was a Jew.  The German was broken because his whole illusion was shattered.  And that's how the American Jew lives.  "I'm an American".  It's the gentile who will teach you so quickly that you're a Jew.

 

           

            It's no just in the bars, in the working class bars the anti-Semitism that you see.  When you see the news media and their attitude towards Israel; it's not anti-Israel – it's anti-Semitism.  Do you know why they hate Jews?  Because among intellectuals there is a jealousy of Jews.  When Truman Capote, the famous author, a sickness, a disease who represents all that is sick about Western culture – when he spoke about the publishing business being a Jewish mafia – you can see the jealousy.  [He writes] how Jews are over represented in publishing, in broadcast, in movies, etc.  Of course it's so – they have talent.  Untalented people don't like to think it is because of talent.  They like to think they run it because their friends, their uncles, their aunts and so on and so forth.  The hate runs across the board.  You can see Peter Jennings' anti-Semitism.  You can see it!  And when I hold press conferences in Israel and I see them sitting around, you can watch them all – the hatred.

Learning About Marriage From Abraham Abinu The Torah in Parashat Lech-

Lecha writes about Abraham Abinu's experiences after settling in Eretz Yisrael, and we read that when he reached the land, "Va'yet Aholo" – "he pitched his tent" (12:8).   The word "Aholo" ("his tent") in this verse is spelled unusually, with a letter "Heh" at the end, instead of "Vav," as though it says, "Aholah" – "her tent." The Rabbis conclude on the basis of this spelling that Abraham made a point of pitching his wife's tent before pitching his own tent.   The Sifteh Hachamim commentary explains the reason for Abraham's conduct based upon the Gemara's exhortation, famously codified by the Rambam, that a man must treat his wife with greater honor than he gives himself.   Abraham, a man of great piety and distinction, recognized and fulfilled his obligation honor his wife more than himself, and this dedication to his wife's honor is expressed in his decision to pitch her tent before his.   The Gemara tells that the sage Rabba once said to his students, "Give honor to your wife so that you will become wealthy." The reward for honoring one's wife, it seems, is wealth.   Rabba proves his point by citing a Pasuk later in Parshat Lech-Lecha, where the Torah says that Abraham became wealthy in Egypt "Ba'aburah" – "because of Sara" (12:16) –indicating that he received wealth on her account, because of the respectful way he treated her.   Why would this be the case?   What connection is there between honoring one's wife and money?    A wife works hard for her husband and children, and naturally feels a strong desire to be appreciated.   When her husband compliments her and treats her with respect, this bolsters her self-esteem and self-worth; she feels valuable and important.   And thus the husband is rewarded with "value," with wealth.   If he makes a point of ensuring that his wife feels valuable, then he will be blessed with "value" in the form of financial success.   When we think of Abraham Abinu, we instinctively associate him with his extraordinary acts of piety – jumping into the furnace to avoid worshipping idols, leaving his homeland to settle in a foreign country, and being prepared to sacrifice his only son.   Yet, the Torah makes a point of spelling "Aholo" and "Aholah" to tell us about the respect Abraham showed to his wife, because this, too, is an important part of Abraham's greatness.   Besides the "great" things, such as defying Nimrod and Akedat Yishak, what made Abraham a Sadik was also the "little" things, his everyday conduct, such as treating his wife with respect and consideration.   This, too, is something we must learn from Abraham Abinu.   We are to gain inspiration not just from the "major" events of his life, but also from his standard, day-to-day conduct.     And the example he sets for us begins in the home, with the way we speak to and treat our spouses – with respect, sensitivity and consideration  

Ten things you did not know about Rachel our mother

Rachel's Tomb was supposed to be handed over to the Palestinians as part of the Oslo Accords. At the last moment, the prime minister changed his mind and left him in Jewish hands

 

Rachel's Tomb

 

1. The day of the mother - the eighth of Cheshvan, the day of her death - is the day of the mother (in Gematria 41) from the beginning of the year - the thirty days of Tishrei and the other 11 days of Cheshvan.

2. She was 36 years old when she died .Rachel lived for a few years from all the patriarchs and mothers, yet she left such a great impression on the people of Israel.

3. Rachel and Leah were twins , perhaps even identical. Perhaps this was what enabled Lavan to change them on the wedding night without Jacob seeing the trick until morning.

4. Rachel was her father's shepherd . When Jacob undertook to work seven years in order to win her, he actually replaced her with this demanding role. Perhaps because of this, the time passed "as a few days in his love for her . He remembered all the time that any difficulty-sword or frost, wolves or bandits, which he had to deal with-was spared his beloved and gave him strength.

5. Give up everything - When Rachel gave Leah the signs, she did not give up the exclusivity of the relationship with Yaakov by allowing another woman to enter the house. She gave up on the prospect of marrying him! 
She had no way of anticipating that Jacob would insist on working another seven years to carry her too. 
Is it possible to imagine a girl willing to give up on her wedding night to a loved one for someone else ?!

6. Six hundred years later, Yehonatan son of Saul (from the tribe of Benjamin, the son of Rachel!) Goes on her way, and does the unbelievable and gives up the royal crown in favor of David (from the tribe of Yehuda son of Leah!). Is it possible that this was hinted at by David in his lamentation of him, "Your love has been so wonderful to me as a lover of women " - from that wonderful love of Rachel to her sister?

7. Theft theft - despite the cruel exercise he did on the wedding night, despite all the years tried to persecute her and her husband - when Rachel separated from her father is worried about him and try to rescue him from the sunset in idolatry and takes the diaphragm. In the end she pays for it in her life when Yaakov, who did not know from the story, casts the curse: "If you find your God, he will not live."

8. "Give me sons" - at the time of the birth of her first son, just as other women writhing from the agony of birth and swearing never to give birth to another, Rachel gives her son the name Joseph and begs - "Joseph, the Lord has another son . God, give me another one. Please, just another child ...

9. Rachel's Tomb was supposed to be handed over to the Palestinians under the Oslo Accords. At the last moment, the prime minister changed his mind and left him in Jewish hands. It may have been the words of Knesset Member Menachem Porush, who burst into Rabin's office and cried out in tears: "Mama Rachel, how can you do this to her? The people of Israel will never forgive you if you abandon your mother ..." And changed the decision.

10. Only someone who was willing to give up everything for the sake of others and pay any price to win a child can stand up to the Master of the Universe and claim: "Even if they do not deserve it, and even though they sinned, they are your children . Please bring them back home ... '. 

And the Holy One, blessed be He, answers: "Prevent your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears

 

See you Sunday
