The Shomer Emunim writes in his ma'amar on emunah that our holy Torah is filled with jewels more precious than gold, but emunah to us is the most precious and beloved jewel of all. It is the zechut of emunah that protects us and stands for us at all times in all places. We received the mitzvah of emunah directly from the mouth of HaKadosh Baruch Hu when He told the Jewish People on Har Sinai the first two commandments. And then He commanded us never to forget the clarity we had on Har Sinai when we saw Him so clearly. It is our job to protect this precious jewel called emunah that it should never get dirty or bent out of shape. The way to do that is with constant reinforcement, learning a little emunah every day and trying to incorporate the lessons into our regular lives. The power of a story is very great. When the lesson of a story resonates within a person it can give him long lasting chizuk. A man told me, he heard a powerful story about making peace and how much Hashem appreciates it. And in a matter of minutes, he ended a longstanding feud with a relative. A woman told me, she heard a story two years ago about someone who took her aged parents into her home and shortly afterward merited to have three of her children get married. The woman said the story made a very big impression on her and gave her a lot of chizuk to help her own parents. She and two of her siblings took care of all their needs, including medical appointments, housing repairs, emergency hospital visits, shopping etc. After ten years of this, her father had a bad fall and even with the assistance of all three siblings, it was too much for her mother to manage. At that point, her sister who lived in Israel told them to send their parents to her. She had an available apartment right next to hers and she and her family were willing to tend to all of their needs. This sister, who we'll call Rivka, indeed took care of every one of her father's needs. This while managing her large family of ten children. At that time, her father was 90 and her mother was 83. Rivka had three daughters of marriageable age, 23, 21 and 17. And the woman relating the story told a different sister, “I remember the story I read of another woman taking on extraordinary responsibilities with her parents and then merited to have her three children get engaged very quickly. I look forward to seeing Rivka's three daughters get engaged soon.” Six months passed and their father became more needy. Middle of the night calls from Mom were a regular, as Dad would fall to the floor so many times. Rivka would go to their apartment and help out, even at that time of night. The chesed she did with her parents was not to be believed. The other siblings from America would come in periodically to give Rivka some breaks, but besides for those short rests, she was tending to her parents round the clock. And then it happened. The eldest daughter got engaged in April of this year, and was married by June. Right after her wedding, the next daughter got engaged and got married in October. And right after her wedding, recently now in November, the third daughter got engaged. It was like a replica of the story that she read. And once again, this woman was given so much chizuk. Hashem recognizes every bit of effort we put into everything we do. And He will reward us for all eternity for those efforts. We must constantly reinforce the basics: That Hashem is with us. That Hashem loves us. That Hashem controls every single thing that takes place. And He is always doing everything for the absolute best.

The Bible provides a secure roadmap to the current crisis of violence in the Holy Land, but lasting peace will require courage, commitment, and deep faith from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and all of the Jewish people. God never forgets His covenants with His chosen people and stands ever-ready to pour a special spirit of grace upon the House of David. Now more than ever is the time for the Jewish nation to consider Jesus Christ, Son of David, as the answer and way for authentic peace in Israel. Watch now to learn how God's special blessing to the Jewish people, contained in His covenants with the Old Testament's patriarchs and prophets, meets perfect fulfilment in the Divine person of Jesus Christ, who alone can provide the world the peace it so desperately needs.

The Shomer Emunim writes in his ma'amar on emunah that Hashem created a universe that's vastness is beyond comprehension. He also created angels that are tens of thousands of times larger than this world and those angels long for the moment that they will have the zechut to sing one song of praise to Hashem. Yet Hashem, in all His greatness, tells us that He longs for the moments that we will sing to Him. When a Jew opens his mouth with a word of praise, Hashem silences all the angels in Heaven. The song that is requested from us at this time, at the End of Days, is the song of emunah. Each person with his own struggles and tests is being asked to have simple emunah and trust that Hashem is in charge and doing what is best. The Zohar HaKadosh on daf 7 in Shemot writes, fortunate is the person who will live at that time and will have emunah . The Midrash Raba in Beshelach says, in the future the Jewish People are going to sing the most glorious song to Hashem, a Shir Chadash , over the wonders and miracles He will have performed for them at that time. And the zechut necessary to reach that moment is emunah. Regarding someone who will have emunah at that time it says, וצדיק באמונתו יחיה . Now we are living at that time, and we need to strengthen ourselves in this area. When Moshe Rabbenu came to tell the people in Mitzrayim that they were going to be redeemed, the pasuk testifies, ויאמן העם . Even though they were on the 49 th level of tumah , they still had emunah. When they followed Hashem into the desert, not knowing how they would survive, Hashem praised them with the most beautiful praises, appreciating the emunah that they had in Him. Today we are being asked to have the same emunah, although this time it is each person needing to have emunah in his own personal life, no matter what he is going through. Every little bit of emunah brings the geula closer. A simple thought process with emunah, besides for being a great avodat Hashem, can change a person's entire perspective and give him so much happiness at a time where he has reason to be upset. I read a story that a rabbi told about himself. He said he is very sensitive by nature and has been hurt many times from people's reactions to things he did. He became a rebbe in a yeshiva and spent hours each night preparing the Gemara in order to teach it properly. After the first couple of weeks he felt that it was going very well. It was extremely difficult for him to prepare, but it was worth the results he was getting. Then, one day, the principal called him over after receiving a phone call from one of the parents. He said as nicely as possible that it seemed as though he was not investing enough time in preparation and explaining the Gemara properly. The rabbi said the comment was like a dagger to his chest, especially since he felt he was investing more than enough time. He was taking away time from his sleep to ensure he would be clear with all the explanations he was giving, and now he was being told that he was failing. He honestly felt this meant he wasn't suited to be a teacher and he should quit. But then he was given chizuk in emunah and he invested time in learning more emunah, which changed his entire outlook. Although negative feedback hurts, he now understands that it too comes from HaKadosh Baruch Hu . That too is hashgacha peratit . Maybe it is Hashem telling him to lower his head a little and not be so haughty. Or maybe it is just another form of kapara . Now every time he gets an unpleasant reaction to something he does, it still hurts initially, and he still takes it to heart, but almost immediately he is able to rise above it and accept that it came from Hashem. Now, he incorporates his emunah lessons into his class and his students know that if they behave well, they will get a hashgacha peratit story at the end of the day. This rabbi's simple thoughts of emunah are the greatest praises that he can give to Hashem. He believes the negative comments are coming from Hashem for his best and reacts accordingly. It is these reactions that we are all striving to have, and it is these reactions that are going to bring the Geula Shelema .

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Noa Lewis, CEO of Echad and a volunteer with the IDF's women's casualty-treatment unit, about the sense of purpose it takes to unify the Jewish People with the Land of Israel. In dire times, we are compelled to move collectively closer to fulfilling the redemptive vision of every Jew living up to their ultimate mission. And Noa, with all of the work she does for the Jewish nation, is the perfect inspiration for us to look toward. In this episode we discuss:What makes someone feel called to do the holy work of caring for the dead bodies of Chayalim? What has been the atmosphere of everyday life in Israel during the war? What does it mean to live a purpose-driven life?Tune in to hear a conversation about how we can use our ordinary human bodies to carry out the extraordinary responsibility of being a part of Am Yisroel. Interview begins at 10:45.Born in Jerusalem and having lived in the Ukraine and Australia, Noa is the founder and CEO of Echad. Noa has founded and managed a youth program in the Ukraine, opened and managed a women's Jewish learning center in Australia and initiated many community activities including international group tours to Israel and has project managed many community events. Noa has a wealth of experience initiating and developing community projects connecting different Jewish communities around the world and is an active volunteer in a unit for emergency services.References:Parshat KorachGenesis 22:19Isaiah 60:21

Today I talked to Roslyn Weiss, editor of Hasdai Crescas: Collected Writings (Library of the Jewish People, 2023). Hasdai Crescas spent his life in public service - as a rabbi and community leader in desperate times in 14th-century Spain. Despite having limited time for writing, he produced several important works, which Collected Writings presents in their entirety. The first of these, Epistle to the Jews of Avignon, he wrote in the immediate aftermath of the anti-Jewish riots in Aragon in 1391, chronicling the unimaginable horrors the Jewish communities endured - mass conversions, suicides, deaths, and the loss of great Torah scholars - as well as his own personal tragedy, the murder of his only son, "a lamb without blemish."  To counter Christian efforts to convert Jews, Crescas composed two polemical works, only one of which has survived, The Refutation of the Christian Principles. Written in 1397-8, it offers reasoned arguments to challenge ten principles of Christianity. A great halakhist, Crescas penned many responsa, some of which are known because they were quoted by later halakhists. But only one extant work contains halakhic material - the Passover Sermon, dealing (in part) with the laws of Passover. Because of the urgent communal demands on his time, Crescas was unable to complete Lamp of the Lord, the two-volume work which was to be his response to Maimonides' Mishneh Torah and Guide of the Perplexed. His magisterial work, Light of the Lord, a work of intellectual rigor and deep religious sensibility, was his answer only to the Guide. In this brilliant work, completed in 1410, just before his death, Crescas rejects the purely intellectual Aristotelian God in favor of Judaism's God of love. It is a work suffused with love for God, the Torah, the rabbinic tradition, and the Jewish people. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Line of Fire Radio Broadcast for 11/24/23.

Welcome to episode 84 of The Great Deception Podcast where I take a look at the expulsions of Jewish people from lands going back to Babylon on 586 BCE. Starting with the destruction of the Temples by the Babylonians and Romans in 586 BCE & 70 AD, then the expulsions from 1100-1600 and up thru WWI. To understand the Spanish Expulsion/Inquisition we'll take a look at the Moorish rule of Spain from 711-1492. Then after the Reconquista the Spanish exiled the Jews one month prior to announcing the Columbus voyage to the New World. We ask was Columbus a Jew? Who are the Sephardic? What were the pogroms in Russia and why did they lead to Zionism and the Balfour Declaration?

We received exclusive information that Arab thieves were stealing guns and ammunition from the small Israeli towns and villages along the Gaza border.  The Israeli governments response was to confiscate the Jews guns so no more could be stolen.  That left them defenseless when Hamas reigned down its terror.  This is a lesson as to why gun confiscation from good people is never a good idea. Also, Tik Tok videos go viral.  Calling on people to read Osama Bin Laden's letter to America.  It is a disgrace to freedom.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rabbi Doron Perez, executive chairman of the Mizrachi World Movement, about the sacrifices the Jewish People must make to preserve the precious gift of the State of Israel. In a single day, Rabbi Doron Perez found out that his son Yonatan had been shot and injured in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks—and his other son, Daniel, was “missing in action” and presumably held hostage. Only 10 days later, the family went on to hold Yonatan's wedding, with Daniel's status still completely unknown. In this episode we discuss:What is the experience of a parent with a child who is held hostage?How does family life go on when a child is missing?What is the role of joy in a time of tragedy?Tune in to hear a conversation about the tears of suffering that fuel our future tears of simcha. Interview begins at 5:40.Rabbi Doron Perez is the executive chairman of the Mizrachi World Movement, a position he has held since he returned to Israel in 2014 from Johannesburg, South Africa. He is the author of the book Leading the Way, and a sought-after speaker and scholar-in-residence in communities in Israel and around the world. At World Mizrachi, Doron's major focus is on organizational transformation and invigorating the global Religious Zionist movement with its dual focus on Jewish and Zionist identity and destiny.References:Shir HaShirim Rabbah 5:2 The Jewish State: From Opposition to Opportunity by Doron Perez Pachad Yitzchak al Shavuot by Rabbi Yitzchak HutnerJeremiah 31

Lavan, ancestor of the Jewish People

The precious words of a Jewish soldier quoting the Kli Yakar, 16th-17th century Rabbi in Prague & Lemberg provide tremendous inspiration about the DESTINY of the Jewish People- to SHINE LIKE STARS! Enjoy! Lots of love, Rabbi Garfinkel of Project 613 in Chicago

“Never Again” evokes the promise of no more genocide, as the world has learned the lessons of history and the Holocaust. But “Never Again” has a different connotation for the Jewish People — and helps us understand the decisions Israel is making in fighting this war against Hamas.

This is an encapsulation of a speech that I gave on 11/4/23 at the Ohr HaTorah Congregation at the Shabbos Project attended by more than 200 People. It includes words of inspiration regarding Shabbos and what the Jewish People stand for.

It says in the Midrash that the geula from Mitzrayim was in the zechut of achdut , a special brotherly love between Moshe and Aharon which influenced Klal Yisrael . We were not saved from the decree of Haman until the people united with each other. The Shechina dwells only where there is achdut . This is one of the criteria necessary to attain the final Geula as well. Hashem, the Torah and the Jewish People are all one. The Torah is supposed to be something that unites us, not Heaven forbid cause rifts. If we will act the way the Torah wants us to act, we will automatically nullify all the hatred. I heard a beautiful story which combines the ways of Torah and achdut . Yehuda, who learns in a kollel in Bnei Brak, was driving on the highway a few months ago when he saw a family standing outside their car. He stopped to ask what was wrong. Yaakov, the head of the family, was standing with his wife and young daughter and Yaakov said they had run out of gas. Yehuda said it would be his pleasure to go to a gas station and bring back some gasoline for them. Yaakov was very appreciative, saying they had been there for nearly a half an hour without anyone stopping to help them. Yehuda went and returned fifteen minutes later with the gasoline and handed the container to Yaakov. Yaakov thanked Yehuda and asked him how much money he owed him. Yehuda said, “I just did a mitzvah and I don't take money for mitzvot. It's my zechut.” Yaakov offered money again and Yehuda made it clear he was not going to accept it under any circumstances. Yaakov was touched by the gesture. He took Yehuda to the back of his car and showed him a bumper sticker that said something to the sort of “Trample all charedi Jews.” He said, “I had this on my car for two years, and now, the first time I have an interaction with a charedi I see how beautiful you are.” He apologized to Yehuda and then ripped the sticker off his car and ripped it up. Yehuda asked Yaakov where he was from. Yaakov replied that he lived in Kibbutz Be'eri near Gaza. Yehuda was not familiar with that particular location, but he said he wanted to keep a connection with him, so he took down Yaakov's phone number. Two weeks later, Yehuda called Yaakov, reminding him of their encounter. Yaakov was so happy to hear from him. Yehuda told him a short story about Shabbat that he wanted Yaakov to relate to his young daughter. Yaakov loved the story and said he would tell her. From then on, Yehuda called Yaakov weekly every Friday to tell him a story that he could relate to his family. One Friday, Yaakov said to Yehuda, “I want to understand a little more. Aren't you guys so bored on Shabbat? What do you do all day if you are not able to use your phones or go anywhere?” Yehuda told Yaakov that Shabbat was the best day of the week. He said he wanted to invite him at a future point to come to his home and experience Shabbat with him. Initially Yaakov said Bnei Brak was off limits, but after some coaxing, he finally agreed to come. Yehuda asked his rabbi what he thought the best Shabbat would be to invite him as it was coming close to the time of the Yamim Noraim. His Rabbi said the best day would be Shabbat Simchat Torah. Besides for the Shabbat experience, he would also see the festive dancing and love between everyone. Yehuda told his rabbi, on Simchat Torah he was planning on going to his parents in Sderot. The rabbi said to him, “maybe if you would invite your parents they would want to come to you. Then Yaakov could see your kibbud Av v'Em as well.” So Yehuda asked his parents if they wanted to come and they were delighted to. When that Shabbat came around, Yaakov and his family, as well as Yehuda's parents both came to Yehuda in Bnei Brak. By the time the Shabbat ended, it became apparent that Yaakov and his family had their lives spared. Yehuda's parents, as well, lived in a place that got bombed and their lives were saved too. Besides for the amazing hashgacha peratit here, the beauty of the story is the unity which took place. B'ezrat Hashem, we will all unify and love each other like brothers, no matter what level of religion anybody is on.

This is the situation early Zionists were faced with: both a long history of persecution and an immediate crisis. Theodore Herzl reasoned that whilst anti-Semitism showed no signs of abating in Russia, it was also likely to increase in the West, due to the influx of Jewish refugees. Integration had been tried for over a thousand years and failed. The only solution to the Jewish problem was therefore a Jewish state.   Christian Aid Gaza Appeal: https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/emergencies/middle-east-crisis-appeal   Buy me a Coffee page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSConsciousness   To subscribe to the show: https://payhip.com/b/Sq0ZB   Track: Walk it Off - Jae Ren Music provided by Verde Música Studio Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2l-97PH5R8   Notes The Invention of the Jewish People, by Shlomo Sand: https://tinyurl.com/4kykxhdj   Rabbi Dovid Weiss: Zionism has created 'rivers of blood': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUppu2OHVTY   The Jewish State, by Theodore Herzl: https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/quot-the-jewish-state-quot-theodor-herzl

This is the most unique Torah presentation I've EVER given! I decided to call it: “The Greatest Story of All Time: The Spiritual Battle Between Judaism and Yishmael (Islam)” (Immediate disclaimer: I have a special respect for many Muslims and I have many Muslim colleagues; the title is designed to frame why there are forms of Islam that hate the Jewish People, as well as other groups of humanity) This the deepest Torah presentation I have ever given, and it's also the greatest risk I've EVER taken, for a very deep reason: This is a presentation that actually requires hundreds of thousands of individual shiurim in order to “fully” understand. But people are struggling right now… They need answers; they need a framework; they need to understand this “story” of life, and how Hamas fits into the infinitely deep and beautiful wisdom of Torah. It also happens to be that I have been feeling VERY sick this week, so this was a real struggle to record… but this was too important to push off. So I fought as hard as I could to push through. [I almost passed out a few times during the presentation… but it was actually one of the best shiurim I've ever given; so Hashem not only helped me get through it, but He also put the right words in my mouth.] (P.S. This was delivered in a "language" that is specifically for a Jewish audience with a strong Torah background; but I also tried to make it as accessible as possible.) So here we go.  Let's embark on THE GREATEST JOURNEY OF ALL TIME!!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shmuel-reichman/support

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE LIES, mRNA in All Future Jabs?, Douglas Murray- Hamas, and Epoch Times- Election Manipulation.   SAFE AND EFFECTIVE LIES: mRNA is poison and must be destroyed and wiped off the face of the Earth. Douglas Murray Timcast- Tim rants about corrupted DOJ. Government Censorship, Election Manipulation Exposed in Congressional Report   SAFE AND EFFECTIVE LIES: 17,000 Scientists and Physicians confirm that Governments around the world along with Corporations willfully and deliberately lied to humanity about the Covid vaccines. They must be charged with fraud, wrongful advertising and mass negligent homicide. The data now shows that the Covid vaccinated are more likely to become infected or have disease or even death if they have been Vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated people. The Covid Vaccines damage your heart, brain, reproductive tissue, lungs, increase cancer and permanently damage your immune system. The European Parliament asked Pfizer this direct question. "Was the Pfizer Covid Vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?" Janine Small, a Pfizer President replied "NO" we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. At that point of view we had to do everything at risk." They risked your lives deliberately for nothing and lied to you. The United States Government is captured by Corporations. U.S. Doctors warn the world to stop taking the Covid Vaccines and Boosters, they are toxic, lethal, ineffective and must be stopped. They damage the brain, heart, liver, bone marrow and fetus causing all sorts of harm in the human body. The CDC and the FDA misinformation is causing death and injury in pregnant women and newborn babies around the world. 17,000 Physicians and Scientists demand that Pfizer, Moderna, BioNTech, Janssen, AstraZeneca and their enablers be immediately indicted for fraud for willfully withholding and omitting Covid Vaccine safety information from patients and physicians which led to toxic death and injury to thousands of innocent people around the world. There is excess mortality and death all over the world and populations are suddenly collapsing. A top U.S. Cardiologist says I'm going to be very clear about this. The Vaccine is Killing people and it's Killing large numbers of people. The CDC has over 16,000 Americans that have died within a few days of taking the vaccine and that's probably a gross underreporting. The public must demand criminal charges for illegal advertising by the Media, the CDC, NIH, FDA all which advertised the Covid Vaccines as safe and effective with no side effects. They deliberately broke the law and committed federal crimes of fraud, wrongful advertising and mass negligent homicide. All government officials and all corporate executives must be indicted and brought to justice. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates were two of the main criminals in this global fraud of wrongful advertising and mass negligent homicide perpetrated upon billions of innocent people around the world. Everyone involved must be punished for their deliberate crimes against humanity. We must get justice in order for this to never happen again. They must be made an example of what happens to you when you deliberately break the law. This was not a mistake, this was a deliberate orchestrated plan to deceive you and manipulate you into taking a toxic experimental injection that was never given to humans before. Millions are injured and millions are dead. This is a global crime that must not go unpunished. Justice must be met, no matter what.

Ever; ever; ever; nothing comes close. Douglas Murrey has a heart – and mind – of gold. And what unfolds in this seven-minute clip is something you need to watch for yourself. (Once you see it halfway through, you'll know exactly what I'm referring to.) But he articulates something which I have been trying to share for the past month: The Nazis, as fundamentally evil as they were, believed that they were engaging in a necessary evil for an ultimate good; they still had a spark of humanity at their core; thus, their main flaw was that they believed the ends justified the means; even though they fully believed in the “result” of a world without Jews, they were still fundamentally opposed to the “actions” they were taking. This is what motivated the Nazis to find ways of circumventing the existential moral decay they were entering, and allowed them to get creative by using the gas chambers, mass shootings (in the BACK of the head – to avoid direct facial contact), and other passive forms of mass annihilation, while also having as few Nazis as possible actually involved in these acts of murder; they then encouraged those individuals who were involved in this atrocity of mass murder to get drunk every night in order to wash away the person they started seeing in the mirror. Thus, the existential decay of these individual Nazis actively involved in the mass murder of the Jewish People was simply seen as another layer of “the ends justify the means.” They were the epitome of “Western” evil. Hamas is the exact opposite. This IS their value system. They prize death, murder, rape, suicide missions, and everything that opposes the very foundation of values and truth to begin with. The events of October 7th was not an end to a means… there is no future goal… this IS the goal. They are the epitome of an evil the likes of which we have never before seen. Please – I know this is social media and some people only watch 60-second soundbites; but please, please, please watch this brilliant interview. Douglas Murray – you are a credit to everything worth being credited.   Timcast- Tim rants about corrupted DOJ. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/s7oobViimsI   CrossroadsET Government Censorship, Election Manipulation Exposed in Congressional Report  Nov 08 2023   Other Episodes If you've been watching Crossroads for a while, you might remember that we talked before about a U.S. government agency called the CISA. This is the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. At first glance you might think it's for protecting government infrastructure from things like cyberattacks. At least, this is what the name suggests. But in reality, the CISA was carrying out a mass censorship campaign in the United States—and its main targets were conservatives. This represents not just direct evidence of government censorship and violations of the First Amendment, but also the government's manipulation of every U.S. election since 2016. In this episode of Crossroads, we'll discuss the new findings on this system, and what it means for the country.

Hamas' massacre unleashed a worldwide wave of hatred and vilification against Israel and the Jewish People, summed up in the noxious idea of “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea” — a call for the destruction of Israel. Leftist ideology, classic antisemitism, and Israel demonization all play a role in this stunning display of moral blindness.

As we watch demonstrations around the country, particularly on college campuses, in support of the Palestinians and against the country of Israel, is it possible those protestors are not antisemetic? In other words, can they be against the state of Israel and its policies but not against the Jewish people? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include former state Senator and Representative Patrice Arent. lobbyist Crystal Young and Lisa Walker, certified athletic trainer and teacher at Springville High School.

R. Marcus Rubenstein's sermon given at Temple of Aaron on Shabbat morning on November 4th 2023 on parshat Vayera.

Charles (10-years-old) - Matthew 21: 40-41 and Luke 20: 16 don't seem to line up. Why do they seem to contradict? My little brother and I listen to you and he wrote your call-in number randomly one time along with the station we listen to. Jim - My wife and I went to a bar mitzvah and they asked my wife to do a reading. Was it okay for her to do it? (06:54) Sean (12-years-old) – What is Heaven like? (15:27) Edwardo - If I miss Mass for All Saints Day, do I need to go to confession before receiving communion? Germaine - What is the proper posture to have for adoration? Kim - The Vineyard represents the Jewish People, so he is throwing them out and getting new Christian tenants? Barbara - I have been getting a lot of requests in the mail for donations for different things. What do I do with them? Lydia – The Texas Rangers were the only Baseball team to not have a pride night. I think it was providence! Daniel - I am a protestant who is in RCIA. My wife is bitter because our marriage isn't blessed and thinks that the Catholic Church doesn't honor our marriage. What should I do? (45:47)

There are many situations in which people have great needs but the odds of them getting what they need are extraordinarily low. The natural feelings in those situations would be to despair of getting help. It could be a doctor giving a patient a negative report, it could be a specialist telling a couple they most probably will never have children, it could be a financial analyst telling a person his business will never succeed, and the list goes on. What is the proper attitude a person is supposed to have when facing those bleak scenarios? The pasuk says in parashat Shoftim , כי תצא למלחמה על אויבך וראית סוס ורכב עם רב ממך, לא תירא מהם . The pasuk there is speaking about the Jewish People going to fight a war and it says, if they saw a nation much larger and stronger than them charging towards them, they were not allowed to be afraid. And the pasuk concludes with the reason, כי ה' אלוקיך עמך, המעלך מארץ מצרים – because they had Hashem on their side. The same Hashem who obliterated the entire Egypt, the greatest superpower at the time. Rabbi Matityahu Solomon, shlita , explained, a charging nation that is more numerous and powerful seems like it presents a major problem. According to the natural way of the world, it would appear that death was imminent. According to the statistics, the Jewish People would have no chance at beating the opposing army. For that the Torah tells them, winning wars has absolutely nothing to do with statistics or odds. It does not matter at all how strong the opposing nation is. The reason- because wars are decided by Hashem and only Hashem. And therefore, there is nothing to fear. Not only was there nothing to fear, the Torah even gave a negative commandment forbidding the people to fear. Rabbenu Yonah in the Shaareh Teshuva writes that although that command was speaking to the Jewish People at large regarding wars of mitzvah, it applies to every single individual whenever he is facing adversity. In the words of Rabbenu Yonah, והוזהרנו בזה שאם ירא אדם דצרה קרובה, תהיה ישועת ה' בלבבו ויבטח עליו . We are being told here that if a person ever sees that trouble is imminent, he should realize, Hashem is the only One in charge. He should feel the salvation of Hashem in his heart and rely on Him to produce it. This means, when the doctor says the odds of becoming healed are extremely slim, that is a calling on the patient to recognize he has Hashem and, to Hashem, odds don't matter. That reality should be so strong in a person's mind that it should enable him to overcome his natural fear and feel calm, knowing that he is completely in the hands of Hashem, the One who loves him so much and always does what is best for him. So it comes out that whenever a person is facing these types of situations, he should know, he has a mitzvah from the Torah to ignore the odds and feel confident in the salvation of Hashem. He should continue making the normal hishtadlut and he should pray to Hashem and know that to Hashem there is never such a thing as odds.

It says in the Pirkeh d'Rabi Eliezer , perek 29, Bilaam said out of the seventy leshonot (languages) that Hashem created, he only put His Name in one of them: Yisrael. With one exception: Yishmael. And since, in this regard, Yisrael and Yishmael are equal, אוי מי יחיה משמו אל – Woe are to the ones who have to live with the people whom Hashem put His Name in. Why did Hashem put His Name in Yishmael? Says the Pirkeh d'Rabi Eliezer , because Hashem is going to hear the cries of His own Nation as a result of what the offspring of Yishmael will do to them in the Land in the End of Days. The Rambam wrote in his Igeret Teman , there is no nation that wants to harm and do evil to us as much as Yishmael. They are a nation who are filled with sheker and are able to make the world think they are innocent victims. The Maharal asked, we know there are four main exiles: Edom, Paras, Madai and Yavan. If in the End of Days we have to experience the galut Yishmael, why isn't he on the list of galuyot ? The Maharal answered that the four kingdoms listed all have in common that they derive their powers specifically by subjugating the Jewish People. Yishmael, on the other hand, was given his own power because he is an offspring of Avraham. It's brought down, when the Mashiach comes, there is going to be a grand seuda with the greatest people of all time in attendance. And when it comes time for the Birkat HaMazon , they are going to ask Avraham Avinu to lead the zimun , but he is going to decline, saying he can't do it because he had Yishmael. All of the Avot, as well as Moshe Rabbenu and others are going to pass the cup up, until it gets to David HaMelech and he is going to make the zimun, as it says, כוס ישועות אשא ובשם ה' אקרא . I once heard a question, didn't David have a wicked son also, Avshalom? Why would he take the cup if Avraham didn't? One answer may be, the reason Avraham is going to pass up the cup is not because his son was a rasha . In fact, Yishmael did teshuva at the end of his life. Rather, it's because he will witness the destruction that Yishmael brought upon his beloved children, destruction that we have witnessed with our own eyes. All of the other nations want to harm us because they are jealous that we are the chosen people, while Yishmael feels he was chosen as well and is motivated out of pure evil. Rabbi Menashe Reisman elaborated, there was never another people who screamed “G-d is great!” while doing their acts of destruction. They think they are fighting in the name of G-d. And while they are saying “G-d is great” in their acts of terror, we are screaming out, “ Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokenu Hashem Echad ”. We know that our power is greater, if we utilize it properly. A man told he had two daughters in harm's way when Yishmael was attacking on Shemini Atzeret. They called up their father that day in a panic. He told them to hide and he kept repeating the words Shema Yisrael for them to say, as they didn't know it. He was repeating every word and they hid for six hours, saying Shema Yisrael , Shema Yisrael , And the terrorists passed by them numerous times without detecting them. The only thing Yishmael is here for in the End of Days is to get us to cry out to Hashem. That is the essence of their name. Let us utilize our greatest weapon of tefila to bring the Mashiach now. Everyone needs to pray heartfelt tefilot . A person can pray for whatever they want. They just need to call out to Hashem with sincerity. All He wants is to hear our voices. He wants us to understand this is His world and He is in charge. The more we follow the mitzvot , the more powerful our prayers will become. Let us call out to Hashem with sincerity and real emotion at every tefila and b'ezrat Hahsem we will celebrate the geula bekarov . Amen.

Akeidas Yitzchak. An event that continues to shape the Jewish People, giving us endless zechuyos and molding our collective character for all time. What sets the Akeidah apart from, l'havdil, some of the death cults of our enemies? What was the purpose of the test? Why was Avraham's response so mind blowing? Think about it. He got up early in the morning to kill his child. The answers to these questions give us the direction we need in our own challenges.
