Many of us have been wondering how come those barrages of emails about Sderot and the dangers of a Hamas/Pa State stopped coming to our inbox.  Israel Kaplan stopped sending them because he became sick.

His cries must have stormed the heavens. The lone voice crying in desperation for others to hear. It wasn't enough.  Now we must daven for him. I have been told that he has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer (may this diagnosis be null and void).  Rav Amnon Yitchok in his lectures said that in the zechut of individuals taking upon themselves Kabbalot, commitments to learn Torah, or perform certain Mitzvoth, or Machsom Lefi or put on Tzizit, or whatever a person can take upon themselves to do for the Refuah Sheleima of another, and if we do it en masse and storm the heavens, then miracles have occurred in the merit of Zikui Harabbim which is the merit of many. 

Sometimes Hashem chooses special Tzadikim to suffer for the rest of us.  But this would be unnecessary if Klal Yisroel would finally wake up to the dangers facing us and Hashem would not have to resort to picking an individual to suffer for the misdeeds of the klal, the rest of us.  Perhaps a proper Tikkun is to take over Israel Kaplan's battle full force, in order that Hashem send him a miraculous and speedy recovery a Refuah Sheleima  Bimhera Mamesh, and wake up Am Yisroel from their slumber regarding the dangers facing Am Yisroel.

In addition to saying Tehillim, perhaps we can become activists like Israel Kaplan. One idea that comes to mind is to help to organize Temple Mount Awareness next Tuesday, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, March 16th on the Secular calendar.  http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=127496.  We pray each and every day for the rebuilding of the Temple.  The Temple Sacrifice begins each morning with the Sun rising in Hebron.  The crier on Temple Mount checks at the peak of dawn whether the sun has arisen in Chevron. Only when there is an affirmative signal can the daily sacrifices  in the Temple in Jerusalem begin. 

Judea and Samaria is an integral part of the service and without Hebron, the service in Jerusalem is meaningless, null and void.

Izzy Kaplan was continuously Osek Betzarchei Tzibur. Every Shabbos we say "Kol Mi Sheosek Betzarchei Tzibur Beemunah", whoever is involved in serving the community with faith, Hashem rewards them, and takes away all sickness and heals their bodies and forgives them for their sins, and sends blessings and success to the work of their hands together with Israel their brothers, and let us say Amen!.

Maybe, however, the sins of the generation were weighing heavily upon him pushing him down. Now that Israel Kaplan is sick, he is unable to continue his holy work.  So we must do it for him and pray to G-d that our efforts be a merit for him so that he should have a Refuah Shelaima.

Sincerely, Robin Ticker

Fwd: Rally on Tues.NYC to protest anti-Israel demonstrators against IDF

-

FOR ALL IN THE NEW YORK CITY AREA (or if you know people who are, send this to them): Big anti-Israel demonstration outside a Friends of the IDF dinner honoring IDF Chief of General Staff Gabi Ashkenazi at the Waldorf Astoria THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 9th. Their particular focus this year is the "horrors" of Operation Cast Lead, of which Ashkenazi was the commanding officer. They want to shame us?  Let's demonstrate our PRIDE! WE WILL HAVE A GREAT COUNTER-PROTEST EVENT SHOWING SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AND OUR IDF FROM 5 - 7:00 PM,  ACROSS FROM THE WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL 48th - 49th STREET and PARK AVENUE TUESDAY, MARCH 9th In the past, the Haters have turned out in large numbers while those in support of Israel have mostly stayed home.  Come, we will have flags, banners, information, and maybe a few surprises. Be a part of the groundswell in support of Israel - more than a dozen truly pro-Israel organizations and individuals will be there - add your voice, your body, and bring family and friends.

Utube Lecture - 1 hour - a must view MK Dr. Arieh Eldad's talk at WSIS on Feb. 11, 2010

Eldad's main points:

*  Weak Leadership of Netanyahu - Netanyahu is great in theory but buckles under pressure. He is unable in implement what in theory he knows is correct. In theory he knows it was wrong to negotiate. In practice he agreed to a Palestinian State knowing that it is suicide for Israel.  He was unprepared for the unbearable pressure from the Obama Administration.  He is dangerous because now he wishes to prove that he is strong and he is seriously working to establish a Palestinian State and has frozen the settlements. On the up end, since he is weak he will also bow to pressure from the right which can neutralize pressure from the Left.  We must undermine the government by building and settling in all parts of Israel.

* Our right to the Land is based only on the Torah, our Biblical Homeland. This is the source of our right and nothing else.  Security considerations are not reliable.  For example, someone will convince us that they will guarantee our protection for us if we make the right concessions.

*  Iran - Israel must take the military step to protect itself and not depend on any other Nation. Israel has the tools to defend itself and must.  Our strategy must be proactive because the window of opportunity with a nuclear Iran may be closed.

*The source of the conflict is misdiagnosis of conflict - It is a religious war and not a territorial conflict. Prescription to  divide the Land is the solution if this was a territorial conflict. Bad diagnosis and bad prescription.  The Land can not be divided as what is written in Torah.

* Ultimately Egypt and Saudi will appreciate military action by Israel against the nuclear threat of Iran since they know that  America or Europe can not be depended upon.

My comments are that since this is a religious War based on Torah, the Rabbanim must guide and lead the people and get involved and not be weak like Netanyahu who knows the truth in theory but fail to act.  They must not be afraid to speak out forcefully and lead the Nation to do the same about Hashem's Covenant with Avrohom Yitzchok and Yaakov and for the Children of Israel forever.  Eretz Yisroel is our Jewish Heritage.  AGudath Yisroel, UTJ, SHAS, Young Israel, Chabad International, OU Chiloni and Dati alike need to take this window of opportunity to encourage, support Yesha and help the settlements because it is the Divine will. We must be willing to take the risks that are necessary and act in strength and not in weakness. Beezrat Hashem.
