Please Fwd: Rick Santorum: Fight of his life - Let us support him . He is a friend of Israel

bs"d

Dear Friends, amv"sh

I am not into politics. When I get passionate about a politician I don't hide it. But then again, when I don't like what I see, I too am vocal often getting me into trouble and getting former friends to put me on their rejection list.  And just because I support someone doesn't mean that it's unconditional.  The trust and support must be earned and ongoing.  If at any point there is a parting of the ways, I will explain my position vociferously.  But then again in the future I might be passionately supportive again.

For now, Rick Santorum has caught my attention.  When he was still relatively unknown and campaigning in Iowa David HaIvri posted this on facebook.

Santorum: 'All The People Who Live In The West Bank Are Israelis'   http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/11/21/373985/santorum-west-bank-israelis/?mid=534&mobile=nc  I saw the clip of Santorum and an exchange with a CNN reporter and I was excited.  "Santorum even went so far as to compare Israeli annexation of the West Bank to the acquisition of Texas during the Mexican-American war: " He was quick and sharp in his responses with the reporter.

I got on his email list and Glenn Becks email list and I would like to now share with you other interviews with Santorum.  In the 2nd interview, he said he is frustrated with the Press because they don't want to ask about some real issues.  So he relies on independent Glenn Beck radio show to have these serious questions asked and answered.  If Rick Santorum can't depend on the Press to get his ideas out there, what chance do Yesha Activists?

3 Videos of Glenn Beck interviewing Rick Santorum 
 http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/02/23/thomas-paine-vs-george-washington-santorum-and-glenn-part-ways-on-libertarianism/

Please watch the three videos on this link.  The more I listened to him the more I loved what he said.  He is rational and caring.  On the third video his wife is interviewed and 3 of his kids make an appearance and it is clear that they are real and stand for what is good in this world. They are beautiful people within and without.  They are unashamed to speak of G-d and  not on an ego trip.  Karen Santorum says that they are doing this because they believe it is G-d's will because otherwise you have to be crazy.

Here is another nice interview.

Subject: Rick Santorum: Fight of his life

Dear Patriot,

We just gave Mitt Romney the fight of his life in his home state and now we are in for a long, important battle to the Convention. But before I get to that, I just have to pause and tell you a story about my grandfather.

He was an immigrant from Italy. He became a coal miner, and he worked hard every day. To think that his grandson could rise to the top tier of the most important Presidential election in American history is something that could only happen in America.

I thought of my grandfather a lot during the early days of this campaign. I was spending long nights crisscrossing Iowa to talk with voters, driving in my own car while other candidates were taking private jets.

It's hard to be an underdog. Let me tell you, it's much more difficult to run a grassroots, shoe-leather campaign where you actually talk to voters, than to throw millions of dollars on TV.

But now, with 10 states voting in the next week, we need those millions. Will you help us?
It has been humbling to see how this story has resonated with Americans across the country. The idea that hard work and dedication can pay off, no matter who you are or where you come from, well, that's the American dream, isn't it?

Our campaign proved again last night that Republican voters want a work horse to take on President Obama. They see that in our campaign.

Now, we move on to Super Tuesday. In only 6 days, 10 states will vote. That means we have to raise a lot of money to compete with the millions Romney and his backers are dumping into this race. Will you add your $35 and help us fight back?

I am putting together a campaign of regular Americans who understand that now is the time to save America. These are Americans with the courage to fight the liberal left – not with moderate mushiness, but with bold ideas.

Will you join the millions of Americans who are rallying to our campaign and donate today?

We had a great fight in Michigan, but we can't let up. Now is the time. Let's do what Americans always do when faced with a challenge – we fight.

It won't be easy. But it's worth it.

For America,

Rick
Senator Rick Santorum

P.S. We can win this thing. But we need to raise more money for Super Tuesday to make it happen. Will you join us?

Remember - Zachor - Gush Katif Museum Dinner in the news videos opeds and articles .

 bs"d

Dear Rabbanim, Media and Fellow Activists,  amv"sh

This week is Parshat Zachor.  Rabbi  Yosef Jacobson's video of his speech at the Dinner is not yet posted. Rabbi Jacobson described the enemies we are facing in very stark and passionate terms. I am sorry that this particular video is not yet available because he spoke very powerfully.   A running theme of this Dinner is that we are facing another Amalek, similar in their intention to destroy and wipe us off the face of the map. The founding fathers of the enemies of today were collaborators with the Nazis Yemach Shemam Vezichrom, may their names and memories be erased..  They are Fatah, Hamas and Ahmadinejad United against Israel.   We can choose to ignore this evil and focus on less depressing news and not think of a Holocaust and the deadly consequences  or we can remember the destruction of Gush Katif which occurred on Tisha Baav and recognize that what happened in Gush Katif is a warning for the future and resolve never to let it happen again!!!!. 

Many Rabbanim seem to feel that it is out of our hands. They say it is now in G-d's hands. But they are extremely afraid because the great Gedoilim of our generation have recently been taken ill.  They call on tefillot of Rav Eliashiv shlita, Rav Shteinman shlita and Rav Belsky shlita  because they feel that in the zechus of these Gedoilim our generation has been spared.  But what will be if chas Veshalom, such Gedoilim pass on, they ask themselves and they raise their hands in despair. 

 Let me suggest that it can not be that a generation is not worthy of salvation if they choose to be.  Each one of us was at Sinai and each one of us has a direct connection to Hashem!

 It is still in our hands!  The answer to addressing the dangers threatening us lies in our willingness to hold on to the Land of Israel, the entire Land of Israel, support those who are fighting to keep the Land,  and collectively keep the Commandments that are so dependent on our precious Land. Surely, Hashem will then keep His part of the Covenant and save us from our enemies and protect us!

Re: Gush Katif Museum Dinner


Dear Ranaan, amb"sh

 Yasher Koach, Kudos  to Rabbi Wolpo and to the entire Chabad team, your team,  who delivered Meyal Umeyeivar, above and beyond!  Rabbi Wolpo worked tirelessly for this event.  He had the courage to do it in the most honorable way that succeedied beezrat Hashem, beyond our expectations. The rest of us just jumped on his bandwagon. Rabbi Wolpo is not afraid to say that the Gov't of Israel is issuing illegal orders to relinquish parts of our Land, Land whose entitlement lies with the Jewish people,  to the Palestinians who consist of Fatah and Hamas. It is a known fact that they are a people who espouse Amalekite ideology, the demise and destruction of the Jewish People and the Jewish State..

From the greeting crew of girls when people came in, to the beautiful and very sad pictures of Gush Katif, we encountered as we walked in the building and down the steps,  the yummy sushi and bar, the  delicious meal, unbelievable speakers, violinist and video presentation and successful professional fundraising and delectable desert it all ran smoothly at least from the outside. It was the place to be and a star studded event.   There was much Siata Dishmaya, help from the One Above,  and Baruch Hashem, thank G-d,  we were Matzliach, successful! May we continue to go from Chayil to Chayil. strength to strength.  

The speakers were phenomenal yet their messages sobering. Rabbi Jacobson's address was electrifying and his words finally got the platform that it deserves.  He did not mince words when he stated that when we are talking about a Palestinian State we are talking none other than about Amalek  of our generation and we had better recognize this fact! It is no secret that their desire is to destroy and annihilate the entire State of Israel as well as all the Jews. He finally addressed the Number 1 question which is "To Whom does this Land Belong to??" He emphasized the Biblical and Divine Gift of the Land of Israel to the Jewish People!

Glenn Beck gave it his all and he did not disappoint the crowd who had very high expectations.  There were times Beck, on stage was literally in tears describing painful circumstances of the Jewish People and the sacrifices of righteous Gentiles to help them.  He clearly  had the courage to speak out against some self hating Jews like Soros who is NO FRIEND TO ISRAEL! History has shown that sometimes our worst enemies come from within and we need not be afraid to expose them.

Congressman Terry seemed like a very personable, sincere, caring and sweet guy and it made me feel good that such good and honorable people were representing the American people in Congress. He introduced Amb. Bolton. 

It took such a long time till we finally got to hear Ambassador Bolton speak because all the other speeches took a while but I feel his message hit home even stronger , because it was preceded with those who spoke before him. What a powerful and sobering speech! In every generation there are those who desire to destroy us and G-d delivers us from their hands.  It is through messengers like Amb. John Bolton and Glenn Beck that G-d sends to help the Jewish People. 

The violist was terrific  Perfect music to greet the new month of Adar.  I missed Jackie Mason's speech because I had left the room for a bit because the hour was late, but that's Ok because it came as an attachment to my email this morning.   

The crowd was beautiful! Not only in quality but in quantity!

 Raanan, you sent me an Excellent letter! I hope you don't mind that I am sharing it. As to suggest, it is painful that all people of Israel, are not yet on board and we do not want evil edicts like in Haman's time to finally get all Jews on board.  With Siata Dishmaya, the help of G-d, we will persist to nudge them and will not give up.  We need each and every person to stand together as one as it says KeIsh Achad BeLev Echad like one man and one heart as was at Sinai. 

Tons of media and politicians were there. The media has been phenomenal covering this event and publishing related articles.  I missed Arutz7.  Arutz7 has been there for Yehuda and Shomron all along.  WHERE WERE YOU????? Why hasn't your coverage of this fantastic event make it in the Arutz7 daily report or top in the google searches?  I don't quite understand.  

 We have given Chizuk to the entire Yishuv in Yehudah VeShomron and we must capitalize on it especially now!

A special honorable mention goes to members of the executive Committee of the World Committee of the Land of Israel, Dr. Joseph Frager, Dr. Paul Brody and his Eishes Chayil Drora, Rabbi David Algaze collectively  inspired by the very passionate Odeleya Jacobs.  They were instrumental in bringing in the media and the politicians.  Dr. Brody is a pro having much experience with promoting the Israel Day Concert in the Park.  Also much recognition must go to Sara Lehmann, a writer, a great team player, always elegant and dignified, eloquently presenting the case for Judea and Samaria in her wonderful press releases, reporting and Op Eds.  When we need something written well, she is the address. 

AFSI under the able direction of Helen Freedman must get the proper recognition it deserves.  They are The Organization in America where all the people in Judea and Samaria and the former Gush Katif head to when they need help, advice and encouragement in their fundraising efforts. AFSI  from the very onset, under the direction of Herb Zweibon z"l at that time, spoke against Oslo and a 2 State Solution.  I would urge all the media to find out about AFSI;s Chizuk missions to Israel and help promote them.  They are fantastic and I know this first hand!

So Kudos to Rabbi Wolpo and his Chabad team, Raanan Isseroff and Mrs. Nechama Peles.  Also Yasher Koach to my friends and fellow activists for Sheimus Haaretz Aliza Karp, the author of BANISHED and Tamar Adelstein, for their activism in keeping the Land of Israel complete.  Thank you to the  fantastic supporting Chabad  crews for such a wonderful event!  And last but not least Yasher Koach to all the Donors who believed in Rabbi Wolpo and allowed him to fulfill this dream and make it a reality!

BS"D
To our Event Crew,
You were magnificent!

A big "yashar koach" to all of you-
The dinner was a smashing success!

Please send me any press or links on the event that you come across. Hebrew or English-
Paper or otherwise.

None of this could have been done without any one of you.

It was completely a function of amazing people working together for one purpose-
As it says that we stood together by the Mountain: Ke ish echd be lev echad, like one person with one heart...

The Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that whole thing of the Purim story was that in the time of Esther and Mordechai, the Jews were split into two groups in Babylonia. 

The "Ivrim", the political Jews and the "Yehudim", those who followed Mordechai, the nasi of his generation.

The Ivrim were the political Jews who put their faith in the government to protect them. Haman had no problem with these Jews. They completely felt that their connections in the government would save them. He was good friends with them and they with him.

The Yehudim? 
They were those who followed Mordechai. As we say: "Tov Lev" (but no kessef!) They put their faith in G-d and Mordechai HaYehudi, the leader of their generation. 

When the decree finally came out, the Ivrim joined with Mordechai. It was with this unity that everyone was able to experience the miracle of Purim.

Today too. We have the political Jews who are looking to the United States, to its president and to foreign political leaders to and even the non-religious political leaders of Eretz Yisrael for salvation. They even look to the leaders of the Peace process and the leaders from the enemy side. 

They look and follow, while those very "leaders" are driving the Land of Israel and its people off the face of the political map as a Jewish country. While they turn the very name: "Israel", "settlement", "settler" and "Jewish Homeland" into abhorred terms in the eyes of the nations with their heart desire to dance to the tune of foreign interests.

How many Jewish soldiers and civilians have died in each war because the army was held back by Israel's political leaders who refused to allow preemptive strikes when they knew from their intelligence and from the military that an attack was imminent? When they knew it would cause thousands of Jewish deaths?

How much oil do we have to buy today that was our own? 
But Israel gave it all away. Suez Canal rights, water, gas and worst of all Israel's land. All given by leaders who are Ivrim, afraid of the non-Jew and "what will the non-Jew think?"

Each of these given away to satisfy foreign governments and terror. (It is hard to say where one begins and the other leaves off)

Today, Rosh Chodesh Purim, we stood together on this point. 
Even the non-Jews who attended enjoyed our message and parroted our positive energy. Because this is our blessing! "Tisbarchu becha kol goy ha aretz".  There will come a blessing through you for the nations of the earth!

When we, as Yehudim, (not as ivrim), come to the non-Jew and tell him without fear and with "iber gegebenkeit" (excitement) that Eretz Yisrael is the Jewish land as promised by G-d in the Bible, it gives them enjoyment. It gives them fulfillment-

In fact, when they are aware (as the Rebbe spoke of in 1969) that "ayn od milvado", "there is nothing besides Him (G-d)", so from the start, they don't even desire to war with us. In fact they join with us.

They enjoy knowing that just as in days of yore, we Jews still stand. Still are protected from above. Still live with miracles. This gives them a chayos. A positive energy.

Even we need to remind ourselves of this as well. 
That's right!

It is easy and seductive for one to fall into the same trap that the Ivrim found themselves in their generation. It is this same trap that is today leading Eretz Yisrael and leaders who could be doing something positive, even religious ones into a potential Holocaust as Glenn Beck pointed out so astutely last night. (Chas veshalom)

But the Lubavitcher Rebbe always says that a Jew has to "leben mit der zeit". Live with the parsha of the week and the events that unfolded in their time as their times of the year come up in our generation. These are times and moments that give a spiritual koach into our activities and enable us to overcome the spiritual and physical enemies today, just as we did in those times. 

If we act as Jews. 
If we act with the same spirit that engaged Jews of those victorious times.

We enjoy the holiday, but living through the national tragedy that the Ivrim brought on their generation in those times was no picnic. 

Today too, we have our Ivrim who claim to be our leaders and they are leading us into the abyss. It will only be with those of us who are the Yehudim, that G-d will bring about once again bring his great salvation and please G-d, the Ivrim will join us and become, as they did in Mordechai's time "Yehudim". With this great unity (as each of us is like the limb of a whole body that cannot lack even the loss of one part Ch"vs), we should all experience the final Geula. Bimhara beyamaynu amen.


I am attaching the Press release in case anyone has a use for it and for those who didn't get it. Thank you Sarah Lehmann for drafting it! 

Collect Post Event Press
Again, followup on the press response is so key after these events, so please collect and send me anything you find. - Thanks!

Breaking news:

Received today Feb 22nd at 12:26pm 

Nadia Matar and Yudit Katzover have just been arrested in Netzer

They are in the police van, on their way to the police station being accused of trespassing, while they were attending a shiur in honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar, in Netzer.
Arabs who saw the Jews in Netzer alerted the police, who arrived within minutes.
 
Sadly, the pressure of Left, the UN and the article by Amira Hess in HaArertz work, and the authorities cave in to their pressure just as they did with the hunger strike of the jihadist.  


 
Rav Wolpo Investigated By Police In Effort To Stop Gush Museum Dinner

Published 00:40 21.02.12

Rabbi behind Gaza museum suspected of bribing soldiers

Right-wing activists questioned by police on suspicion of encouraging soldiers to refuse orders to evacuate illegal outposts by offering them money.

A rabbi suspected of offering financial incentives to soldiers to refuse orders to evacuate West Bank outposts heads the nonprofit association behind the Gush Katif Museum in Jerusalem.

On Gush Katif Day last Wednesday, Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar toured the museum, which memorializes the Gaza settlements, evacuated in 2005. The museum is backed by the World Headquarters to Save the People and the Land of Israel (SOS-Israel ), headed by Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe.

The week before, Wolpe and right-wing activist Baruch Marzel had been questioned by police on suspicion of encouraging soldiers to refuse orders to evacuate illegal outposts by offering them money.

Although the museum's website lists SOS-Israel and Wolpe as being among "the people behind the museum," an SOS-Israel spokesman said on Monday that "there is no connection between the museum, the nonprofit association and the rabbi, other than in the past the rabbi initiated it."

Meanwhile, Peace Now director general Yariv Oppenheimer sent a scathing letter to Sa'ar following a report in Haaretz on Monday that revealed the contents of a curriculum on the evacuated settlements that was taught in nearly 800 schools last week.

Oppenheimer said the phones at Peace Now's offices had been ringing off the hook on Monday with angry callers, "who were shocked to read about the new lesson unit."

Oppenheimer writes to Sa'ar: "In the booklet your ministry is distributing, the story of the settlements in the heart of the Gaza Strip is told in a one-sided fashion, and misrepresents the situation to the pupils. The booklet doesn't make any mention of the heavy price the State of Israel had to pay for remaining in Gaza ... the whole question of the occupation and Israeli control of another people is left out of the lesson plan."

The curriculum, written by the Center for the Commemoration of Gush Katif and Northern Samaria under Education Ministry guidelines, includes a lesson unit called "My Zionism" that uses the Katif Bloc as a test case for Zionism.

The lesson plan calls for students to differentiate between "Zionist activities" and "good deeds," refers to former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg and veteran journalist Dan Margalit as "extreme left-wingers," and includes an essay by Im Tirtzu chairman Ronen Shoval. No mention is made of the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza except in the context of Palestinian terror.

"Worst of all is the attempt by people in your ministry to revise the concept of Zionism," Oppenheimer wrote. "There is no more fitting way to describe this document than 'political brainwashing' and an effort to dictate a one-sided, right-wing, manipulative narrative."

The Education Ministry said on Monday that Sa'ar "does not know Rabbi Wolpe nor about his connection to the [museum]." The ministry also called Oppenheimer's letter "political and provocative," adding that the curriculum on the Gaza settlements "was formulated by the ministry's professional echelons."

Amazing You Tube Glenn Beck a Must See! 2 more days to the Gush Katif Museum Dinner! You can pay at the Door


bs"d

Dear Rabbonim, Media and Activist List for Eretz Yisroel, 

Make time to attend the Gush Katif Museum Dinner with Honored speakers Glenn Beck, John Bolton and Congressman Lee Terry.  It will be held at Razag Ballroom 739 East New York Ave, Crown Heights Brooklyn between Albany and Troy. Reception at 6:00PM.  Contact the Organizers of this dinner by phone 718-989-2767 or AFSI office 212-828-2424 for reservations.  My understanding is that if you show up at the door they will not turn you away.  Mail your checks payable to "Friends of Gush Katif Museum" to 383 Kingston Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11213 Suite 155. You can email gushkatifmuseum@hotmail.co.il 

Media People and Rabbonim.  If you are interested in attending the press conference with Glenn Beck in attendance, please call Dr. Paul Brody @ 516-466-5412 or 917-650-5623 and he will give you specifics.  Thank you very much for your support and participation.
Please watch this You tube of Glenn Beck on reshuthashidur: Please pass on to Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Rav Perlow and every member of Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah and to your Rabbanim. Anavim, Anavim... 

If you do not understand Hebrew just wait until the actually interview comes on.  Watch it till the end.  You will not be disappointed.  

Talking points of the Dinner: 

  • The Land of Israel including all of Judea and Samaria is part of our ancestral homeland.  It is a G-d given land as written in the Torah and promised to our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.   G-d"s Covenant with our forefathers and the Nation of Israel regarding the Land of Israel is a fundamental and integral part of the Torah. 
  • People of Israel are not unlawful or illegal "occupiers" of Judea and Samaria.  We have the Biblical, moral, historical and legal rights to settle and live on our land!
  • Jewish soldiers should not obey orders to expel fellow Jews from their homes
  • Families should not be thrown out of their homes in the name of "peace". It only leads to terror attacks against Jewish civilians and empowers our enemies and contributes to the deterioration and  lack of security for Israel.
  • Checkpoints must be reinstated in all of Judea and Samaria.  As a result of lack of security on the roads in Judea and Samaria, cars are being stoned, attacked and women are being targeted with car jackings leaving them defenseless.  The gov't of Israel has the obligation to protect all citizens including those living in Judea and Samaria.
  • The Gush Katif Museum was established to prevent another similar expulsion in Judea and Samaria.
  • We are against negotiating with Fatah or Hamas who have partnered with Ahmadinejad who espouse Nazi ideology.  It is no secret that their founding father, the Mufti of Jerusalem, collaborated with Hitler Yemach Shemo and their rhetoric is consistent with Nazi propaganda. 
  • We are against a Palestinian State and we call upon Netanyahu to stop sending confusing messages to the World about his desire to establish a Palestinian State.  Jews have the desire to better the lives of all peoples including Arabs. However, this can only be accomplished when they accept Jewish Sovereignty in the Promised Land whose boundaries are delineated in the Torah. 
  • We call upon all Jews and all Jewish Organizations to lend their support and give Chizuk, strength to the courageous residents of Judea and Samaria who cling to the Land with their fingertips, cling to the Torah and love their fellow Jew and wants peace and prosperity for all humanity. They are on the front-line protecting the rest of Israel and thereby protect all the peoples of the world. 
  • Protest Illegal military rule in Judea and Samaria! Law Says:No Legal Difference in YESHA & Rest of Country  Let us reevaluate the legitimacy of the Civil Administration operating under the Ministry of Defense for Judea and Samaria.  They have done a miserable job in protecting the roads and the citizens of Israel.     

It's the Wild West in Judea and Samaria. Where is the IDF? Where are the Police? Taxation w/o representation!

It's the Wild West in Judea and Samaria. Where is the IDF? Where are the Police? Taxation w/o representation!

Dear Media and Rabbanim and Activist List, amv"sh


Please publicize so this does not continue.  


For all of you who are doing your part in the Mitzvah of Al Taaamod Al Dam Reiacha, not standing by idly as your brothers blood is being spilled, a big Yasher Koach. To everyone else, it seems to me the following Pasuk from Megillat Esther applies. 


Im Hacharesh Tacharishu.....



From: Ehud Thursday, February 16, 2012 9:28 PM

Subject: A serious event that happened tonight

 

 

90 minutes ago (around 8 pm, 16 Feb 2012), a good friend of mine, Julie, that leave in Neve Daniel, drove near Beitar. A stone was throne at her car, and the window blast. She called the Army, and they told her they are not interested in the case. UNBELIEVABLE! She called the Police, and they told her its approximately case number 100 this week. Make sure that the relevant people will get the right awareness and hopefully will act to change things. Todah, Ehud. Engineer. Petach Tikva.

At 7:35 I was driving to Beitar from Neve Daniel and was surprised by a rock that hit my car and the window smashed. I  kept driving till the gate of Beitar and stopped to tell the Shomer. He did not even get out to see if I was Ok.  I pulled over. He called the moked who barely asked whether I was ok and then told me to go to the police - we don't need to see you.  The Police told me the same thing.  The fact that I could've been traumatized and unable to drive didn't occur to anyone - how would they feel without their weapons being attacked by a deadly weapon.  When I asked them whether they were coming they said no.  When I expressed surprise that they weren't coming (somewhat hysterically) they put the phone down on me.  I then called the police, by then I was sobbing, who also didn't bother to send anyone. (whereas ravshatz from Neve Daniel called and asked if I needed him to come and get me....).


I am horrified by this lack of concern. In Beitar there were numerous attacks on that road in the last week  (near Husan).  On the way home I did not see one army jeep or police car  1/2 an hour later, nor 20 minutes after that, when my dentist (also from Neve Daniel) drove back.  We both thought that was odd  - to say the least. This is the second time I was hit by a rock recently - the last night of Chanukah we were hit by a rock. Missed my daughter's head by about 10 cm. My daughter is 3 1/2.

As per conversation with Shmuel Koenig. Please print and announce in Shul

bs"d

Dear Rabbanim, amv"sh

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to Shmuel Koenig about the upcoming Gush Katif Museum Dinner.  There will be strong press both Jewish and Secular.  A high profile PR firm is covering this event.  Also please come yourself. 

Fliers were distributed throughout Flatbush so they might be in your shul.  It's a window of opportunity to do our hishtadlus to prevent expulsions in Judea and Samaria before it's too late.  If we don't and then we meet a refugee after his home has been razed will we be able to look him in the eye?   Thank you and Shabbat Shalom!




   The FRIENDS of the GUSH KATIF MUSEUM IN JERUSALEM invite the community to a dinner in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY at the RAZAG BALLROOOM, 739 East New York Avenue, at 6 P.M. on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2012.  This dinner will heighten awareness of the tragedy of the Tisha B'Av expulsion from 21 flourishing communities from Gush Katif and 4 in the northern Shomron in August, 2005 by order of Ariel Sharon.  As preparations for the Dinner are underway and in full swing, Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo, director of the Museum was recently summoned by the Israeli police for questioning. The interrogator informed Rabbi Wolpo that he is under suspicion of encouraging soldiers to disobey orders, a crime liable to heavy punishment. "I'm not encouraging disobedience to orders," declared Rabbi Wolpo to the police investigator. "I'm encouraging soldiers to follow the order of G-d, who gave the entire land of Israel to the Jewish people and commanded us to settle every part of it. Disobeying orders are those trying to please the enemy by advocating establishment of a terror state in the heart of the Holy Land."
     Rabbi Wolpo , SOS-Israel and his team in Crown Heights,  are working with a team of strong activists for Israel in America, to make this Dinner an overwhelming success. These include organizations such as AFSI, Director Helen Freedman and The World Committee of the Land of Israel, whose executive committee include Dr. Joseph Frager, Dr. Paul Brody,  Rabbi David Algaze and  Odeleya Jacobs,  To RSVP, please call 718-989-2767, or mail your check to "Friends of Gush Katif Museum," 383 Kingston Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11213, suite 155, or email: GushKatifMuseum@hotmail.co.il. You can also pay online with your credit card: www.sos-israel.com. This and all other contributions are tax deductible.
    Americans for a Safe Israel/AFSI (www.afsi.org) and The World Committee for the Land of Israel are offering subsidized rates, when needed 212-828-2424; 800-235-3658; afsi@rcn.com.
  To date, the Museum has been visited by over 100,000 people, including Knesset members, members of Congress, and many notable personalities across all political lines. By attending the Gush Katif Museum Dinner, you will have a unique opportunity to learn about and support the invaluable work of SOS-Israel  and help to prevent any further Jewish expulsions. YOUR presence at this Dinner can make a difference! Be with us!! NEVER FORGET!

Dear List, amv"sh

See attachment!

From time to time I forward to you the Toronto Zionist Council weekly newsletter.  I happen to love it.  I would love if each and every shul would downloaded it, print copies and placed in shuls to be read after davening.  (It's dangerous to have it nearby during davening because people might get distracted).  I wish some mainstream newspapers would  incorporate it in their own newspapers.  As you can see it is jammed packed, 4 pages with no advertisements, just breaking news and expert analysis of current events that are often hidden items from the general Jewish public. The publishers are not beholden to anyone except their passionate love for Israel and their devoted volunteers and fans who run around Erev Shabbos making sure it gets delivered to the Shuls in Toronto.   No wonder Toronto has such a great love for Eretz Yisroel.   Yossi Winter, President of the TZC is the editor. His items are straight off the press.  My understanding of this newsletter was that the driving force was Izzy Kaplan of blessed memory a dedicated and Jewish activist for Israel par excellence!  If you are reading this on my blog and there is no attachment, email me at faigerayzel@gmail.com and I will email it to you or bertter yet send an email to "Yossi Winter" <cooljoe@torzc.org>,  or "Toronto Zionist Council" <tzc@torzc.org> and subscribe. 

Shabbat Shalom UmeVorach!

Here is this week's Toronto Zionist Council Newsletter. Please print a few copies and take them to shul as well, forward it to those who would appreciate knowing what is happening in Israel, and to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the issues facing Israel and Israelis.

 

It is in PDF format and should display properly with Acrobat reader, which is a free download from Adobe.com. It will print neatly on four 8.5x11 pages or two up on each side of 11x17 and then folded in half.

 

Thanks and Shabbat Shalom,

SHABAT SHALOM!

Must See: Brigitte Gabrielle video of ACT at anti Sharia Conference (it will also motivate you to support Gush Katif Museum Dinner)


bs"d

Dear friends, amv"sh

Why am I sending this out now when I am so busy promoting the Gush Katif Museum Dinner?  Because this Dinner in Crown Heights with star studded speakers, Glenn Beck and John Bolton, is a window of  opportunity.  It is an opportunity to make a big Statement. 

Understand that YOUR involvement is as necessary as the wealthiest donors and their contributions.  

When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, each and every Jew was obligated to bring sacrifices and gifts for the Holy Temple as their offering to the Creator.  One with means brought gifts that were plentiful and lavish and one who was without means brought sacrifices of flour and oil.  But our sages teach us that each and every sacrifice was necessary, important, accepted, noted and appreciated as per the intent in the donors heart no matter what the amount.


This museum was established partially to document what happened in Gush Katif and in order to prevent it from happening again.  My guess is that a house in Gush Katif had the market value of at least $100,000. A very low estimate. How can I live comfortably in my house in Brooklyn when I know that my brothers house in Judea and Samaria is likely to be destroyed.  Behind the scenes, deals are in the making for further painful concessions for the greater "good" otherwise known as the "Peace Process". 

This time, let us do our part to prevent it from happening!  How can we let the refugees from Gush Katif continue to suffer when we did not do our share to help them before the gov't brutally destroyed their homes and communities.  At the very least, let us support them now and prevent further tragedies. Let our investments for this Dinner send a message to the World at Large and with G-d's help, stop our enemies from within and without! 

Eretz Yisroel is OURS and not Palestinian.  This is what is written in the Torah and this is the Divine will.  We are not the "Occupiers" and the Palestinians are not a people. No more expulsions! Yehudi Lo Megaresh Yehudi! Jews should not Expel Jews! Unfortunately, there are individuals who call themselves Jews, yet for whatever reason they empower our enemies. There are individuals who are not Jewish yet they empower the Jewish people and proclaim G-d's Law.


Don't let this fight be fought by others.  Make it your own.  The Holocaust happened and the Disengagement happened because good people stood by and didn't do their part. Saying Tehillim, Psalms, after the fact will not bring back the houses.  History has shown that when disaster strikes, good people come together to pool their resources and all of a sudden the money is no longer a consideration.  After all, when ones house is destroyed and all is lost, priorities of money,  time and  energies are totally reevaluated. Finally, what is most precious to us in life gets the attention it deserves.  

Why wait for a disaster before prioritizing.  Do it now when there still time and our assets are in tact.  And if you need a little more motivation of why you should come and/or support this dinner to the extent you can, watch Brigitte Gabrielle!  You will better understand the fight and why YOU too must join to combat this evil.  And if you ask why we depend on  non Jews to get our message across, it is because they are Hashem's messengers and they are influential and they will be the first ones to say that what is good for Israel and Jews is good for America.  The first line of defense for America is defense of Israel which can only happen by defending what is clearly, written in the Torah.  Thank you for listening.



(Thank you Ted Ackerman for sending)
Friends:Maybe you have seen this, maybe not, this woman is amazing!!! Send this to everyone!!! A must see video.  Very scary but informative.This is frightening, This is a very telling lecture. It hits at the root of what is happening in American Universities, and what is happening to our culture. This fight is as real and costly as any combat this nation has been through in the past. The battlefield is non-conventional, but so are the methods of our enemies. Please take the time to listen. Note: If the video stops partly through, just click on the blank section and it will continue. Click here: <http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid949801312001?bckey=AQ%7E%7E%2cAAAACEco_Vk%7E%2c9bOat4XcfB_88ri1a3UMdKnLpH9aM8Fv&amp;bclid=0&amp;bctid=1271237687001>

Please circulate and help publicize widely the egregious misuse of the resources and imprimatur of a California public university to promote an assault against the Jewish state.  This is not just a California problem: similar abuses are occurring in many universities across the nation, with the use of federal and state taxpayer money.

We need your help.

 

Largest Public University in U.S. Promotes Anti-Israel Speaker on its Campuses

 
Ilan Pappe is an Israeli Jewish academic who harbors deep animosity towards the Jewish state, has publicly called for its elimination, and engages in activities to harm its citizens, such as a campaign to boycott Israeli academics, which he helped to found. In addition, he openly supports the terrorist organization Hamas and falsely accuses Israel of "crimes against humanity," including "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing."
 
He will speak February 20, 22, and 23 on three California University campuses with official sponsorship and funding by University departments and administrative offices. In addition, on each campus the event has been organized and promoted by a faculty member or top university administrator who has publicly expressed his or her hatred of Israel and has participated in many anti-Israel events, including the campaign to boycott Israeli academics.
 
Although we are concerned about Ilan Pappe's talk per se, we are more concerned that the talks are organized and promoted by officials and faculty of the California State University system,  using the name, resources, and imprimatur of CSU, in order to vilify and harm the Jewish state and its supporters. In this way, taxpayers like us are subsidizing the promotion of hateful indoctrination in our nation's largest public university.
 
Please click here to view a letter the AMCHA Initiative has sent to university administrators.
 
You can also watch the following AMCHA video to learn more about CSU's support for Ilan Pappe's speaking tour by clicking here.
 
Please consider sending your own respectful letter to one or more of the following individuals, asking them to ensure that official university sponsorship and funding is withdrawn from Ilan Pappe's talks at the three CSU campuses:
