Marienbad: Publicizing and implementing the Rabbinic Resolutions of Marienbad 1937.

 https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2020/03/marienbad-publicizing-and-implementing.html

 Apparently there was an issue regarding the WZC in 2020 and Rav Kanievsky paskened yes to vote and Rabbi Kamenetsky and Rabbi Brudny followed his Psak.

Interesting that the Rabbanim on this MGH Kol Korei didn't sign their names. Is Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky cognitively able to take a stand. What about Rav Brudny. Did they change their position from 2020? Who actually drafted the letter and who is willing to sign it?

Also, now the MGH are speaking out against voting in the WZO elections. 

Why have they been silent re: giving away parts of Eretz Yisroel, or about the Pikuach Nefesh and Sakanat Nefashot situation in Judea and Samaria and all of Israel with Hamas being empowered, and the Mitzvah to violate Shabbat when the enemy encroaches one's borders in Eretz Yisroel.

 

It would have been  amazing to hear a Kol Korei  from the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah against giving away parts of Eretz Yisrael when there was talk of a Palestinian State? Never too late!  Isn't this approach a more accurate, true and productive implementation of  the Marienbad  Resolution in 1937 where the majority  of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah voted for a Jewish State based on Torah and Mitzvoth?

The simple fact that this Kol Korei has not been signed is telling.

There probably are differences of opinion among the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah as was the case in Marienbad in 1937. Let's have an open debate  albeit heated, as is the Jewish Tradition of conflicting sides, a Machloket LeShem Shamayim, in our day, on this matter?

Here is a beautiful YouTube that shares the great love HaRav Kanievsky has for living in Eretz Yisroel.

Rav Chaim Kamenetsky's mind blowing views on Eretz Yisroel

https://youtu.be/OLlt17euqqw?si=SbC_Ujk7eTRgNEft

Living in Eretz Yisroel is a Mitzvah D'Orayta whether one agrees with the policies of the government. At the very least, Halvai, those that are G-d fearing be outspoken and great activists to change the Israeli court system and the laws of the Land  in Eretz Yisroel so that they are consistent and reflect Torah values. 

Settler Youth who sacrifice everything for Eretz Yisroel,  have been blood libeled and are falsely accused, tortured, imprisoned, sitting in jail sometimes  for years on false charges and in the case of Amiram Ben Uliel  convicted of 3 life sentences, based on  forced self confession  after being tortured. Why have we not heard any outcry, a Kol Korei by the Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah on this when so many Mitzvoth D'Orayta have been violated on this ענוי הדין and עיוות הדין? 

Dovid HaMelech is constantly going to War, Milchemet Mitzvah both with internal and external enemies.

Isn't this war with Hamas an existential threat and clearly a Milchemet Mitzvah? Elef leMateh, Elef leMateh. 

Even when soldiers are assigned to pray and learn Torah aren't they in Tanach  an integral part of the army  and not exempt and in the sideline?

Throughout Tanach Am Yisroel is commanded to fight for Eretz Yisroel and to have soldiers and are counted according to the number of soldiers יוצאי צבא. 

The existing Israeli Judicial Court System has been anti Torah and corrupt  and finally, BeEzrat Hashem, changing.

 

However,  telling Jews not to vote in the WZO election is running away rather then addressing the problem.  The very purpose in voting is in order to  enact change within the government so that Eretz Yisroel has a government whose laws and ideology is consistent and reflects Torah. Withholding ones influence and vote,  serves to empower the inner enemy, the deep State within Israel, and the evil forces that are against Torah.

Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

"Close the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa to Muslims – until all the kidnapped hostages, living and dead, are returned". Aviad Visoli, Chairman, HaMateh LeMaan Eretz Yisroel

אל המקום אשר...

English translation follows:

*המטה למען ארץ ישראל לקבינט: סוגרים את אל-אקצה - מחזירים את החטופים*

הודעה לתקשורת 

בעוד ממשלת ישראל נגררת אחרי ועדות וגישושים, במטה למען ארץ ישראל מציגים פתרון פשוט, חד וברור:

*סוגרים את הר הבית ואל-אקצה למוסלמים – עד להשבת כל החטופים, החיים והחללים.*

עו"ד אביעד ויסולי, יו"ר המטה למען ארץ ישראל, קורא במכתבו לחברי הקבינט לחשוב מחוץ לקופסה: "הגיע הזמן להפסיק לפחד. סגירת הר הבית למוסלמים תעביר מסר ברור: ישראל לא משחקת יותר. עד שלא יוחזר אחרון החטופים – אף מוסלמי לא דורך באל-אקצה."

לדבריו, צעד זה ידבר בשפה שחמאס והעולם האיסלאמי מבינים – *פגיעה בשליטה המוסלמית בהר הבית* – וייצר לחץ עצום על חמאס מכלל המעגלים האיסלמיים.

עוד מציע המטה צעדים נלווים שיחזקו את ההרתעה:

• *סילוק הווקף והוצאת החמאס מהר הבית*

• *העברת הטיפול ברחבת הר הבית לעיריית ירושלים*

• *כניסה חופשית ליהודים ובני כל הדתות מכל שערי ההר*

• *הריסת מסגדים לא חוקיים שנבנו בלי רישיון*

ויסולי מדגיש:

"הקונספציה של השב"כ והמשטרה שפחדו לגעת בהר הבית היא זו שהביאה את אסון 7 באוקטובר. אם רוצים תוצאה שונה – צריך לנקוט גישה אחרת. לא עסקה עם הטרור – אלא שליטה מוחלטת וריבונות ישראלית מלאה בהר הבית."

*המסר לטרור: אתם קראתם לזה "טופאן אל-אקצה"? עכשיו תשלמו את המחיר – אל-אקצה ייסגר עד שיחזרו כל הבנים, עד האחרון שבהם.*

*The Division for the Land of Israel to the Israeli Cabinet: Close Al-Aqsa - Return the Kidnapped Hostages*

Press Release 

While the Israeli government is dragged along by committees and fumbling, the Division for the Land of Israel presents a simple, clear and concise solution:

*Close the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa to Muslims – until all the kidnapped hostages, living and dead, are returned.*

Attorney Aviad Visoli, chairman of the Division for the Land of Israel, calls on cabinet members in his letter to think outside the box: "It is time to stop being afraid. Closing the Temple Mount to Muslims will send a clear message: Israel is no longer playing games. Until the last of the kidnapped hostages is returned – no Muslim will set foot in Al-Aqsa."

According to him, this step will speak in a language that Hamas and the Islamic world understand – * Which would impact on Muslim control of the Temple Mount* – and will create enormous pressure on Hamas from all Islamic circles.

 This Division also proposes accompanying steps that will strengthen deterrence:

• *Removing the Waqf and expelling Hamas from the Temple Mount*

• *Transferring care of the Temple Mount Plaza to the Jerusalem Municipality*

• *Free entry for Jews and people of all religions from all gates of the Mount*

• *Demolition of illegal mosques built without a permit*

Visoli emphasizes:

"The conceptzia of the Shin Bet and the police, who were afraid to touch the Temple Mount, is what brought about the October 7 disaster. If you want a different result – you need to take a different approach. Not to make a Deal with terrorism – but rather complete control and full Israeli Sovereignty over the Temple Mount."

*The message to terrorism: Did you call this "Al-Aqsa Storm"? Now you will pay the price – Al-Aqsa will be closed until all the hostages return, down to the last one.*

Theme: Brochos/Amen Party 

Contents

Mezonot- An oatmeal cupcake

HaGefen -  grape juice 

HaEitz - dates, grapes, and or pomegranate seeds

HaAdama - chick peas, carrots, celery or cucumber

Shehakol - candy or chocolate

BeSamim - cloves 

Almost every Shabbat afternoon I attend a sweet ladies group  in my neighborhood featuring Tehillim, a Brochos party, a Dvar Torah, and sometimes Shalosh Seudos. The ladies make Brochos non stop and everyone says Amen!

I thought that a Brachos/Amen party theme for our Mishloach Manot was a sweet idea where the Mishloach Manot would include each Bracha and a Megillah about Brachos Parties, a related Dvar Torah in honor of Moishe and Jordan's Simcha so that everyone can have them in mind for Parnossa (Mezonot), a Happy Marriage and Shalom Bayit (haGafen), to be Blessed with 

Children(HaEitz), Health

  רפואת הנפש ורפואת הגוף (HaAdama), and tranquility of the Soul (beSamim).

So I Googled Brochos party.

I found an amazing website

Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit.

It had amazing material! There was a Dvar Torah in PDF format that discussed the background and sources of the Bracha Party as well as a beautiful colorful flier of the Beracha/Amen Party Instructions. 

I called up Judith Elvira and asked her permission to use the material on her website related to a Brochos party to share at our Simcha and for Mishloach Manot. She was so excited and gave her permission to use the material and to edit as needed.

Judy asked me if I knew the story behind this material. I said no. All I had done was Google "Brachos Party" and found it.  She said to check out this link.

Stories to Inspire

A true first hand inspirational video of an ongoing Miracle Story that happened  that came about after a Brochos Party she helped organize!

With the help of my friend, a professional editor and graphic artist we printed a small pamphlet in honor of our Simcha that gives a background of the Brochos Party and we printed as well the colorful flier with instructions and we included it in our Mishloach manot.

If you contact me, we are more than happy to send/give you copies of the printed versions, or, feel free to print them yourself.

The pamphlet describes how by saying Amen to someones Bracha it merges Divine Chesed(Kindness)  with Din(Divine Judgement), thus "sweetening" the judgement. 

Here are the links:
