To:


Great Matriarch remembered over 3600 years for her good deeds. Great Cause. Great Speakers. Great Program. Great food. Great guests. Great dreams. Tell your friends who are in NYCity area. We have guests coming from Suffolk, Nassau,  Conn to MD and Pa. Post to all lists, in your shuls. Twin with Kever and Rachel Imeinu Yahrzeit from NY . Just your passing on the word is perpetuating Ima Rachel's message for aliyah for Bnei Rachel and Klal Yisrael.
 
 
Press Release: Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation's 15th Commemoration of the Yahrzeit of Rachel Imeinu will be held Thursday evening, October 29 at the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center.

 It won't be an ordinary dinner. It is much more than the glatt kosher food catered by New Star Caterers at the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center on 60 West End Avenue, Brooklyn NY, that will make this another most meaningful event. 2009 was a very significant year for RCRF. It was so fulfilling to celebrate Tu BShvat at Beit Bnei Rachel. Although our pomegranate and fig trees are inside the house within the walls, they are growing. The number of people coming to our events and to Kever Rachel are increasing. This 5770 Yahrzeit will see the tens of thousands again. The 11the anniversary of the Sefer Torah on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz began with Beit Orot Yeshiva boys laining, sharing breakfast with guests and a shiur on why Rachel Imeinu merits to bring the Geula.  Rebbitzen Tsippora Heller, Rabbi Yosef Klausner, Rabbi Ephraim Sprecher, Rabbi Yaakov Gurwitz were some of our inspirational speakers.  Rabbi Leff's Rosh Chodesh Elul shiur was filled with exceptional ruach by being in Beit Bnei Rachel. The spirit of this time surpassing message is at  http://www.rabbileff.net/shiurim/special/index.htm.

         RCRF 60 West End Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11235, 718-648-2610 is over active in Israel and the US. Working overtime to reclaim our roots, Jewish identity and connect with the "good ideology",  RCRF has initiated a very timely program with a memorable theme, "Derech Eretz in the Merit of Rachel Imeinu". Although many are hinting at this necessary subject, this will be the theme of weekly classes at Beit Bnei Rachel, the RCRF majority owned Jewish property within the walled Rachel Tomb Complex because Rachel Imeinu's virtues are an example for us all especially in these trying times. She sacrificed herself for the future of Israel and is remembered over 3600 years as Mother Israel and is a role model for the whole civilized world.

          Besides visiting the injured in the Gaza War, RCRF has also begun a Newsletter: The Rachel Tear, which can be viewed at theracheltear.blogspot.com.

         The Keynote Address at our dinner will be by Rabbi Raymond Beyda, a well known speaker and author of "1 Minute With Yourself". He will be introduced by Rabbi Yaakov Farhi of Torah Israel Sephardic Congregation of Manhattan Beach. Rabbi Moshe Snow who was a guest speaker in our Beit Bnei Rachel on Derech Chaya Rachel will explain "A Monumental Task". The Community Chessed Award will be presented to Mozelle Sammell by Gail Friedlin. The Community Activist Award will be presented to Myrna Zisman by Arlene Fox. Malky Grunwald, a new student at SKA who had the first Bas Mitzvah at Beit Rnei Rachel on Rosh Chodesh Elul 5757 will also address the audience about the meaning of Bas Mitzvahs at Kever Rachel . Please rush your ads and donations as this is our major fundraiser that supports Torah readings, weekly shiurim and the development of a Museum of Jewish Aliyah, a Beit Midrash, a Simcha Center and a Biblical Garden with a replica of ancient Kever Rachel as a chuppah. As we learned about being strong on Tisha B'Av, we were taught that Tu B'Av overcomes. What simcha when the weddings of our Bas Mitzvah girls are celebrated under the chuppah dedicated in the RCRF Biblical Garden.  Remember it was RCRF since 1995 and we petitioned for the Egged buses, initiated the shiurim, dedicated two Torahs, conduct classes and work so hard to fulfill the Rachel Prophecy, V Shavu Banim L'Gvulum. Remember, A visit to Israel without going to Kever Rachel is like going home and not visiting your mother." Evelyn Haies

The Rise of Nuclear Iran - Scary - Rav Amnon Yitzchok might have the only answer

bs"d

Dear Doris and my Fellow Activists, amv"sh

I just want to share with you some of the material I have been listening to in Brooklyn, NY. Of course, please check it out yourself since I admit to being human and please don't hold me accountable if there are mistakes in the repeat of what Rav Amnon said). Please go to the source yourself.  I myself just went on their website and found a wealth of video material.

I've been listening to Rav Amnon Yitzchok on radio10.com 95.1 fm in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY when I am in my car and his tapes are programmed   many hours during the day.

 Rav AmnonYitzchok, founder of the Shofar Organization 001-972-3-677-7779 shofar.net   (videos with English subtitles http://www.shofar.net/site/ProductsList.asp?id=864&Category=3)  says that it is written in the prophets (i believe he quotes Yechezkell, possibly the Zohar) that at the end of days (B'Acharit Hayamim) the Ishmaelites will take over Israel for 9 months, the whole world will come to fight over Jerusalem and finally the world will recognize the G-d of Israel.  He said 9 months compared to the 9 months of pregnancy before the birth of a new baby.   He says that the present situation with the Arabs is a result of not keeping our part of the Covenant with G-d.  He says that doctors, the army (Tzahal) would be unnecessary if we would keep the Commandments as we should since G-d would heal and protect. us, fight for us as He promises in the Torah.  Rav Amnon doesn't want to scare us but rather inform us.  I Believe he was referring to the present Tzahal which is lax in enforcing  the laws necessary to keep the soldiers in a holy frame of mind which is a prereq for victory)

Regarding the end of Days I believe that he says that that  it is written that 2/3 of the world will be destroyed. He said that in Eastern Europe 60% assimilated and there was a Holocaust.  He says that now  in America there is 90% assimilation rate.... 

He said that Enemies of Israel from the past will reincarnate and this period in time will be G-d's justice to them.  He says that Yishmael will have the zechut of taking over Israel for 9 months because of the fact that they did a Brit Milah at the late age of 13. 

Rav Amnono Yitzchok speaks in Hebrew primarily and personally I am amazed at the way he quotes pesukim, phrases literally from the Tanach on the spot, as he answers questions from the audiences.  He is sharp, funny,  entertaining, compassionate, clearly loves and is loved by his fellow Jew and  is making me into a Baalas Teshuva as well even though I was ffb (frum from birth).  As he explained, each and every Jew can/should be a Baal Teshuva..

He blesses individuals in the audience for health, prosperity,  children, marriage, fear of G-d etc in exchange for commitments to wearing head coverings, wearing Tzitzit, observance of commandments in the Torah daily commitments  to Torah study a certain allotted  time etc. .  In addition many people  in the audience who hear a request for blessings for a child or blessings for a complete recovery from a serious illness, take upon themselves additional commitments n Torah observance or Torah Study in order to help the blessing come into fruition for a particular individual..

He speaks of the necessity of unity of the Jewish people and how each straw alone can be easily broken but a bundle of straw can not be easily roken.

His unfaltering faith in G-d and G-d's ability to heal, protect and save the Jewish People is  for real.  He is bringing this nation to the level of faith in the desert.  There is no one we can depend on except G-d.  G-d is all powerful.  He can heal, He can protect - G-d wants nothing else but to bring good to His people and good to the world.  Simple faith of  a little child.  His powerful songs, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Ohavim Otcha (The Holy One, Blessed be He, We Love You!) Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Mamlichim Otcha (The Holy One, Blessed BeHe , we makeYou our King), Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Hayeladim Shelcha (The Holy One , Blessed Be He, we are Your children)  has brought hundreds of thousands of Israeli's to become Baalei Teshuva and if he has had such an impact on myself and others, I am sure that when people in America  hear him as well, it  causes an inner revolutions within many individuals.  Because what he says makes a lot of sense.  He is extremely logical for those that speak reason.  He is extremely knowledgeable and he addresses about every topic under the sun  when asked.  So many times I have said to myself, "that makes so much sense, how come I never heard or thought  of it  before".

It's worth inviting him to California and anywhere else.  Jewish schools and synagogues should have his tapes and videos all the time for free periods and easy access.   Many are subtitled into English as well as other languages.  I wonder if it is utubed so that our children can watch this instead of the last 20 years of sitcoms.   The internet is taking over the minds and hearts of our children. Kids spend hours upon hours watching baseball, football, basketball, tennis, that it takes over their lives not to mention utube and disney and whatever else is out there.  Let's not forget the secular library that has a large variety of enticing books and dvd's.

Many children and adults have forgotten or are sometimes clueless about  how to rake the leaves, paint the house, hangi;up fixtures, make furniture, sew clothes, install gas and electric, grow plants,fruits and vegetables, help  cook, clean, set the table etc. even learn computer skills.  They are too busy with other activities like being online, watching sports, playing poker, watching movies, entertaining utube and learn what they need to know to advance their entertainment etc.

As long as Moshiach still hasn't come the above skills are still useful and necessary things to know.  Once Moshiach comes, Rav Amnon says, we then revert to the Status of being in the Garden of Eden where all our physical needs are taken care of.  But in this point in time it's premature and we still need to uplift the material world with our efforts.

 Interpersonal communication skills are being modeled for us from the internet from TV shows of the past  and movies etc and the models are less than ideal. 


Working on our Middot are fantastic topics of  Rav Amnon Yitchok as well.

If we really want Never Again, Listening to Rav Amnon Yitzchok is an important first step. He might have the only answer.

Kol Tuv, Robin

Welcomes

Ambassador Dore Gold

Monday, November 2, 2009 - 7 p.m.
Skirball Cultural Center
2701 North Sepulveda Blvd. ●
Los Angeles


One of Israel's greatest living foreign policy experts, Ambassador Dore Gold will be speaking about his new book The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West and about the threats posed by a resurgent Iran arming itself with weapons of mass destruction.

Gold has served as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations and has been direct envoy to the leaders of almost a dozen Arab states. In The Rise of Nuclear Iran he brings his unique experience and knowledge to bear on the diplomatic and military dimensions of Iran's drive for nuclear weapons. Sounding the alarm about the nuclear threat has earned Gold vociferous attacks from America's liberal foreign policy community, which seeks to avoid a confrontation with Iran at all costs. He will be speaking about all that and more, before taking questions from the audience.

The Rise of Nuclear Iran systematically lays out the elements of Iran's weaponization program: highly enriched nuclear material, long-range ballistic missiles, and nuclear-capable warheads. The revelation of the Qom enrichment facility and Iran's subsequent missile tests have confirmed all of Gold's warnings, making his book required reading for anyone who seeks to understand Tehran's current and future plans.

Now Ambassador Gold will lay out a bleak case against the West's "sticks and carrots" engagement policy and highlight the consequences of its likely failure: a "nuclear umbrella" for global terrorists, a Middle East dominated by Shiite hegemony, a Western hemisphere subject to Iranian threats, and a ever-present genocidal shadow over the Jewish State.

Shame on General Shamni for expelling Jews from Yitzhar before beginning as IDF envoy to Washington

SHAME ON GENERAL SHAMNI
 
Three beautiful Jewish families from the Jewish community of Yitzhar (the Manhigut Yehudit Jewish Leadership group just visited there last week) have been told that their breadwinner fathers have to leave their homes and jobs for six months for the crime of living and working in Israel.
 
Akiva Hacohen, Ariel Gruner and Eliav Eliyahu have been given five days to leave their homes.
 
This order to expel these Jews is the only criminal act and was signed by IDF Central District Commander Maj-Gen. Gadi Shamni who is scheduled to begin as IDF envoy to Washington beginning next week.
 
Isn't it enough of a black mark on the IDF that 8000 Jews were expelled from their homes in Gush Katif? There is almost no one right or left who doesn't see now the terrible consequences of expelling Jews from their rightful homes.  
 
Those who support the current leadership in Israel and give money or bonds should make their voices heard and look towards real Jewish leadership in Israel. Moshe Feiglin, head of the Jewish Leadership faction of Likud and increasingly Israeli's choice for future P.M. will never allow Jews to be expelled from their homes.  
 
For those who believe that P.M. Netanyahu has changed his spots, remember that this expulsion order is happening right under the nose of P.M. Netanyahu. His eloquence in words apparently have no correlation with his deeds.

What a fantastic letter from Helen Freedman of Afsi a real Jewish Heroine in her own right! 

Dear Activist List,

Please note that I sent  this letter to Jewish newspapers in USA and CC'd to Israeli Ministers. Perhaps if they get multiple  letters they will get the message that people are not happy with lack of due process in the Israeli "democracy".

Gentlemen,

          We are appalled to learn that AKIVA HACOHEN, ARIEL GRUNER and ELIAV ELIYAHU, all residents of Yitzhar, have been given orders, signed by Maj-Gen Gadi Shamni, expelling them from their homes for a minimum of six months. Each young man has a wife, children, or is expecting a child, and earns his living working in the community.

          Shockingly, there were no specific charges to the expulsion orders and the only explanation given was that the men "are a danger for the public order." Is this the thought police in action? What danger is expected? Why are these young men singled out for what is thought their intentions might be? Doesn't this sound more like it is happening in Orwell's 1984 than in democratic Israel? Where are the instruments of justice?

          In addition to these intolerable expulsion orders is the fact that during the period of forced expulsion there are no provisions made to compensate the expellees for the cost of an apartment, the move which must take place in a few days time, and for the loss of their income from employment. How cruel and inhumane can a government order be? Even prisoners are given more consideration. This is outrageous.

          As Americans who are very aware and concerned about events in Israel, and who spend a great deal of time and energy working to ensure a safe Israel, we plead with those in charge to cancel the expulsion orders against Akiva, Ariel and Eliav.  

          Please contact us at afsi@rcn.com or 212-828-2424 to inform us of positive action in this urgent matter.

Thank you

Helen Freedman
