ToSinai.com Newsletter by Roy S. Neuberger. A Must Read

 

THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH OF KISLEV

 

Dear Friends:

In the Jewish calendar, today is Rosh Chodesh Kislev; in the secular calendar it is Veterans Day, the eighty-ninth anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War.  "The war to end all wars" did not end all wars; in fact it led only a generation later to a much more deadly and barbarous conflict. 

Our Torah sages had predicted this.  The Chofetz Chaim, who died in 1933, is reported to have said that these wars were two of the three great conflicts that would precede the coming of Moshiach. [1]

The Chofetz Chaim said something startling: there would be a major difference between the first two wars and the third war.  In the third war, directly before the coming of Moshiach, the Angel of Death would not have power to harm people who are close to G-d.   We know that, during the First and Second World Wars, millions of holy Jews lost their lives.  But in the Third War, said the Chofetz Chaim, those who would cling to the Torah with all their strength, rejecting the culture of the other nations among whom we dwell, would survive the war and go on to live in the Days of Moshiach, may they come soon. 

My dear friends, we are entering the month of Chanukah, the holiday in which light illuminates the dark winter of our Exile.  But where, in this world which seems to be stumbling ever closer to the precipice, do we see light?  How can we realistically believe there is reason for hope in this dark world? 

My new book, "2020 VISION," opens with a commentary by the Malbim [2] , as follows: in the days following the return of the Children of Israel to the Land of Israel, the Western nations and the Arab nations will form a worldwide coalition to attack us and drive us out of Israel, G-d Forbid!  How will we survive this terrible threat?  Something unexpected will occur, says the Malbim, and the two great enemies will begin to fight each other.  Their battle will consume them until they destroy each other, and at that moment Moshiach ben Dovid will appear and the Final Redemption of the Children of Israel will occur.

Not only that, but it is clearly predicted in the words of our sages that the last power that would dominate the world before the coming of Moshiach would be the Moslems. [3]

My friends, if we look around at this very moment with clear vision, we can see clearly that THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY!  Prophesy is coming to pass before our very eyes.  If the Arab nations and the Western nations, both of whom are trying to evict us from our Holy Land, are in fact also fighting each other on a worldwide scale, is this not fulfillment of prophesy?  Are not the events of 9/11, the war in Iraq, the belligerency of Iran, the ferment in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the infusion of Moslems into almost every country, the worldwide conflict between the West and Islam all aspects of this prophesy?  If this is coming to pass, must it not follow that the advent of Moshiach must also be close at hand? 

This scenario is reminiscent of the famous Talmud passage in which Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues are walking on the ruins of the Holy Temple.  Rabbi Akiva's colleagues are weeping over the devastation, but Rabbi Akiva is smiling. 

"For what reason are you smiling?" they say to Rabbi Akiva. 

"Uriah ha Kohain prophesied that Zion would be plowed like a field.... Zecharia prophesied [the rebuilding of Yerushalayim].... Now that the prophesy of Uriah has been fulfilled, it is obvious that the prophecy of Zecharia will be fulfilled." [4]

In our own days, we witness what appears to be a depressing and devastating scene, a world in chaos, a world arrayed against us.  But that scene has been described by our prophets and interpreted by our sages as the prelude to the Final Redemption and the coming of Moshiach!  Is this not cause for hope?  Is this not a signal to cling to our Torah with even greater intensity? 

As the Chofetz Chaim said, the way to survive the Final War before the coming of Moshiach would be to cling wholeheartedly to the Torah and to recognize the emptiness of the culture of the nations among whom we dwell.  This is no easy task.  After some two thousand years of Exile, we are all so submerged in the surrounding culture that we hardly recognize it is alien to us.  We are submerged just as our ancestors were submerged in the Egyptian Culture just prior to their redemption.  We don't even realize how much our values and outlook are affected by their values. 

I know that these are difficult words, but we should recognize that the surrounding cultures are in their dying days.  If we cling to their values, we will go their way, G-d forbid.  But we are an Eternal Nation, bound to G-d by the Eternal Torah.  This is our cause for hope, our Tower of Salvation [5] , and the reason that our lights can burn brightly in the midst of darkness, in the midst of our bitter Exile. 

May we see the day soon when the entire world will be bathed in pure light and we will be free to live in sanctity and peace in Eretz Yisroel in the presence of the Holy Temple and Moshiach ben Dovid, may we greet him soon in our days!

A lichtige Chanukah to Klal Yisroel! 

Roy S. Neuberger

Alternative Jewish Sovereignty Summit

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27th, 2007- FOUNDING OF THE "ALTERNATIVE JEWISH SOVEREIGNTY SUMMIT"
For details please click on
< http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/124220>

Alternative 'Jewish Sovereignty' Summit Planned
13 November 07
by Hillel Fendel, IsraelNationalNews.com

(IsraelNN.com) A dozen Jewish organizations have united to hold a "summit" calling for Jewish sovereignty over all of the Land of Israel, meeting on the same day as the Annapolis summit.  The title: Sovereignty for the Jewish Nation Over the State of the Land of Israel.

Spokesperson Susie Dym explained, "What is happening in Israel, and consequently among passive Jewish leaders elsewhere, is that our political leadership has abandoned the goal of furthering the Jewish people in the Jewish state, and has gone towards the goal of building a Palestinian state and advancing the Palestinians' interests. The situation has become absurd, in that our government is working towards the antithesis of what it should be."

"Recognizing that the Jewish Nation does not have a representative body," the formative statement begins, "and greatly fearing that the government in Israel is undermining the fundamental interests of Jewish existence (based on its declarations and actions in anticipation of the Annapolis summit), we - many right-wing movements and organizations - have united together to convene a counter-summit.  Our goal is to emphasize what we stand 'for,' not 'against.'"

"Our door is open to all those who want to further the interests of the Jewish people," Dym said.

The founding session of the New Jewish Congress will be held on the 17th day of Kislev, Nov. 27, in Jerusalem - the day on or after the scheduled Annapolis summit.  The date for the Annapolis meeting has not yet been finally set.

The idea of the alternative summit, the organizers say, is to "establish the first-stage organizational and conceptual skeleton that will promote a congress to represent the entire nation, including hareidim, during the course of Nissan (April 2008)."

Among the initiating organizations are: Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership), Land of Israel Task Force, Cities of Israel, the Temple Institute, and the Sanhedrin.  Also participating are Mateh Tzafon, Task Force to Save the Land of Israel, Women in Green, Nahalal Forum, and Honenu.

Rabbis who have lent their support include Kiryat Arba/Hevron Chief Rabbi Dov Lior, Sanhedrin President Rabbi Adin Steinzaltz, Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe of Chabad, Rabbi Yoel Schwartz, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel and more.%ad%

Participating public figures include Yoram Ettinger, Prof. Paul Eidelberg, Dr. Yossi Ben-Aharon, Prof. Gabi Barkai, Prof. Hillel Weiss, Atty. Aviad Visuly, Prof. Aryeh Zaritsky, Architect Gideon Charlop, Nadia Matar, Shmuel Medad, Dr. Uri Milstein, Aryeh Stav, Moshe Feiglin, Ronen Tzafrir, and many more.

CAJLCC111307 Calling campaign against Avigdor Lieberman

bs"d
 
CAJL  Conference of Authentic Jewish Leadership
CC Calling Campaign
3rd Day of Kislev, the month of the spirit of the Maccabbees, November 13, 2007
 
Dear Friends,

As  the Annapolis nightmare is coming nearer, more and more people are waking up, understanding that we must act immediately to prevent a catastrophe from occurring.

Women in Green calls upon all to join in the following activities:


Dear friends of Israel, in order to prevent the Annapolis disaster, we must bring the government down. As long as Lieberman and Yishai remain in the government, the Olmert government survives. If Avigdor Lieberman leaves the government, Eli Yishai and Shas will also leave the government!

Anyone who holds dear the future of the State of Israel is asked to inundate the offices of Avigdor Lieberman and the other members of Yisrael Beitenu with faxes and telephone calls, with the demand:

Leave the government today and save the Land of Israel and the People of Israel !

Presented as a public service by Women for Israel's Tomorrow - Women in Green www.womeningreen.org

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order for this campaign to have an effect, we need to publicize it far and wide.

For instance, we need to put this as an ad in this week's Russian newspaper called VESTY. We also need to paste the posters all over Jerusalem and other areas in the country. We therefore turn to you and urge you to help us financially with this campaign. Very often people call us and tell us: well, why isn't there a campaign going on, why is it so quiet?

Many people don't realize that such campaigns cost a great deal of money.

Here are a few details with regard to the expenses of such a campaign:

* a half page ad in the news section of Vesty for this weekend: 12,200 NIS +vat (i.e. approximately $3,500)
* the caricaturist: 900 NIS + vat ($220)
* graphic artist : 2500 NIS + vat ($750)
* 1000 posters (size 50x70cm) :2100 NIS + vat ($700)
* 10,000 flyers in Hebrew and Russian : 2500 NIS + vat ($750)
* and last but not least: ads in other newspapers (Hebrew and English) that ad up to at least $8,000

In one word, if we want to turn this into a effective campaign, we must raise at least $15,000.

We need you desperately! We cannot do this without your help!

Please send your checks to:
Women For Israel's Tomorrow (Women in Green)
