Dear Renanah, amv"sh
Yasher Koach and Shabbat Shalom! "Eit Tzara LeYehudim". A Time of Trouble for Israel.
Now is the time to gather the Jews! Lech Knos es Kol Hayehudim. Esther tells Mordechai, Go gather all the Jews. You are an inspiration.... So is the ZOA
ZOA Urges Attendance At Rally Supporting PM Netanyahu Speech At U.S.
Zionist Organization of America At U.S. Capitol on Tuesday March 3, 2015, 9 am. This is the 12th of Adar.
At the time of this gathering, in other Jewish locales across the globe, asifos tefillah, prayer gatherings, were held to demonstrate solidarity with acheinu Bnei Yisroel, our brothers and sisters, in Eretz Yisroel.
Unfortunately this great gathering of Jews was not to pray against the existential threat of Iran or ISIS. Rather is was to protest the Israeli Government and the Chareidi Draft, the military draft for the religious soldiers.
Makes no sense. Is the gov't of Israel more problematic than IRAN or ISIS?????
Not going on the internet has its downside. Today, in 5775, the year 2015 according to the secular calendar, if one is shielded from the horrible news reports of what ISIS and IRAN are up to, then one doesn't acknowledge the threat nor see the need to defend oneself of this very real danger!
"Do not think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews by being in the king's palace. For if you will remain silent at this time, relief and salvation will come to the Jews from another source, and you and the house of your father will be lost. And who knows if it is not for just such a time that you reached this royal position."
Esther agreed to approach the king. But she asked Mordechai to gather all the Jews in Shushan and let them all fast for three days and nights. And after this fast Esther would put her life in her hands and approach the king.
Mordechai complied with Esther's request. He gathered the Jews of Shushan – especially the children, 22,000 of them – and they fasted, repented and prayed to G‑d."
This seems to be the proper approach at this time. Netanyahu is coming in to speak to Congress on the 11th of Adar, Now is the time to really start praying for Hashem's salvations WHICH IS TO STOP IRAN and ISIS FROM ITS PLAN TO ANNIHILATE THE JEWS (and all the infidels). http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/02/holocaust-memorials-rabbosai-jewish.html
The parallels of the Purim story is depicted in this post. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/02/purim-must-read-please-forward.html

עת צרה ליעקב
באיזה יום בחר המן, על ידי ה"פור" (גורל), להשמיד את ישראל? באיזה יום התרחש ה"ונהפוך הוא" בו היהודים, במקום להיהרג, הגנו על עצמם והרגו את אויביהם? חוששני כי רוב (האנשים יענו שהכל התרחש בי"ד אדר, התאריך של חג הפורים. אך במגילה מפורש כי התאריך הנכון הוא י"ג אדר (אסתר ג', יג ו-ט', .
Times of Trouble for Jacob
What day did the wicked Haman choose to destroy Israel by Lottery? On which day did "VeNahafoch Hu" It will be turned around, occur? Instead of being killed, the Jews defended themselves and killed their enemies? I suspect that most people would answer that everything happened the fourteenth of Adar, Purim's date. But the Megilla, the scroll explicitly states that the correct date is the thirteenth of Adar (Esther 3, 13 6-9
For generations, the thirteenth of Adar was set as "The Fast of Esther ", a day of fasting in commemoration of the war that broke out "A time of trouble and needs the compassion of God "(Mishnah Berura 786 B). In contrast, the fourteenth of Adar,the day Purim does not highlight the military victory but rather the aftermath of peace and tranquility that followed. But because in Shushan, which was surrounded by a wall, the fighting continued into the fourteenth day, residents that are within walled cities, wait to celebrate on the 15th day of Adar.
I am mentioning this only to bring out that these particular days of Adar, were spent in prayer and supplication to the Almighty against an existential threat.
It seems to me that the next few days are a very auspicious time for Israel and our prayers, especially the prayers of the children are greatly needed....
