I just got more details of what happened with Rav Berland, over Rosh Hashana, and what he said about this year’s kibbutz. The Rav ended up spending Rosh Hashana in Romania with some of his talmidim, after being refused permission to cross into Ukraine multiple times. One of the local Jewish communities donated food, kindly, […]
How’s that, for a snappy title? If you’re still with me, kol hakavod – this post will actually get easier from here on in. Over the last few weeks, there have been more and more headlines about things and people ‘collapsing’. I was on the phone to my mum yesterday, who did a good job of summing […]
When most people get back from Uman, I’ll tell you more of the story of what happened with the Rav this year. In the meantime, almost 30,000 people made it out to spend Rosh Hashana with Rabbenu, which is truly awesome, and I take my hat off to every single one of the people who […]
I just got an urgent message from Uman. == We’ve just recieved an urgent message from Ukraine, that they urgently need to raise $100,000 before Rosh Hashana. There is a much larger story to tell, which BH we will give more details of post Rosh Hashana when everyone has safely returned home. But in […]
So, what’s going on in Uman right now? If you’re still holding by the ‘news’, you’re probably expecting something very different from what is really going on there. Here, take a look for yourself (from Thursday afternoon, yesterday): ==== It’s not just frummers who go to Uman. A large percentage of the crowd would probably […]
Ireland’s first head of state (and Yitzhak Herzog’s ‘chevruta’) was a man named Eamon de Valera. If you had your cup of coffee this morning, you probably will have already recognised something strange: The man’s name is Spanish, not Irish. ==== Again, I’m going to write this post the ‘short way’ instead of the long […]
You know, I really think that 5783 is going to be the year of ‘thinking for ourselves’. Maybe that doesn’t sound so impressive, but it’s actually the basic ‘plank’ required for a person’s soul to really wake up in this world, and for a person to connect back to their True Source – Hashem! – […]
Well, what can I tell you? Yesterday, for the 18 millionth time, I wrapped up all my ‘family trees’, closed down nearly all my tabs, and decided I’m having at least a week off from ‘Frankist-hunting’. This morning, I put up a couple of updates to THIS post on the connections betweens Zionist (Freemason-Frankists…) and […]
In less than a week, it’s going to be Rosh Hashana 5783 – and I am feeling totally unprepared for it, spiritually. The last couple of years, I feel I’ve been typing up a whirlwind, trying to figure out stuff, warn people, piece mysteries together etc etc etc. Until recently, I really felt like I […]
For weeks, we didn’t know if the Rav was going to make it out to Uman this year for Rosh Hashana. Yesterday night, we found out that the Rav got on a plane headed for Uman yesterday morning. They were keeping it secret until he could actually arrive there safely. Baruch Hashem, the kibbutz is happening this […]
