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.

Temple Awareness Day, Rosh Chodesh Nisan. The Arabs translate this statement as "Jewish groups calls to the storming of the Aqsa Mosque and worship in biblical and Talmudic maximum,

bs"d


Storm is a very powerful word.  It usually means that a group of people violently break into  a setting that is protected.  There clearly is no violent storming being planned by Temple Awareness Day activists.
The Jewish Website reads as follows:
"We call on Jews and Gentiles around the world to mark March 16th, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, by assembling in prayer and discussion".

Since when is assembling in prayer considered "storming?"

(My personal explanation for this distortion of facts is that apparently,  they are the ones that are planning "storming" against the peaceful groups of prayer and they have to be proactive in defending their actions.  This is just conjecture but based on past history. )

The Palestinians are fabricating a bunch of lies for PR purposes.  Please read about  Temple Mount Awareness day called for Rosh Chodesh Nissan  5770, March 16, 2010.
http://tmount.org/2010/02/22/international-temple-mount-awareness-day-march-16th-rosh-chodesh-nisan/

We call on Jews to arrive at the Temple Mount Mugrabi Gate, on the morning of March 16th, after immersion in a kosher mikveh, in accordance with Torah law, in order to ascend the Temple Mount. Please arrive at the gate no later than 7:15 am and please come wearing non-leather shoes in accordance with Torah law. In addition a guide will be available at 6:15am in the Rova square to escort men to the Shuvu Banim Mikveh in the old city. Please be on time. Gentiles are likewise invited and encouraged to join us! (Questions concerning the aliya, please email: hatenua@gmail.com, rabbirichman@gmail.com)

We call on Jews and Gentiles around the world to make March 16th, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, a day of solidarity with the Temple Mount and the prophetic vision of "a house of prayer for all nations."

Please go on the Jewish website. Then compare what the website says to the way the Arabs have totally distorted the message and are spreading outright lies and fabrications such as

Jewish groups calls to the storming of the Aqsa Mosque and worship in biblical and Talmudic maximum, and within the Office announced the opening of free services to anyone who wants to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, or to pray biblical and Talmudic it, direct way, or on behalf, or carried out electronically, in addition to the publication of some photographic Boarding operations during the last two weeks, as these ads coincided with a campaign to raise funds to build the Third Temple at the expense of Al Aqsa Mosque.

Here are links to some other Arab sites:

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=iw&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http://www.pls48.net/default.asp%3FID%3D56289

Why is Jewish worship  called storming and Arab worship not storming? Why are Jews not allowed to send 10 people to pray?  Of course according to Jewish Law there are sections that are only permitted to select Jews who qualify according to the written and oral Torah under certain certain circumstances but that should not be up to the Wakf to determine as per who satisfies the requirements and who does not.  

The Jewish Website reads as follows:
We call on Jews and Gentiles around the world to mark March 16th, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, by assembling in prayer and discussion, spreading the word and raising awareness about the injustices being committed on the Temple Mount. We suggest holding prayer vigils outside Israeli Consulates and the Embassies.



Phone, Fax and email the Prime Minister of Israel's office:


Public opinion and action does matter! The effect of your message to the Prime Minister's office will be felt. On March 16th we will flood the Prime Minister's office with our messages.

Please keep your message to the Prime Minister brief and respectful.
Below is a recommended email message:
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the Temple Mount. As you know, the Temple Mount is the holiest site in the world for the Jewish people, yet the Muslim authorities, aided by Israel Police, systematically deny the right of religious expression on the Mount to all non-Moslems. On numerous occasions the High Court of Justice has upheld the Jewish people's right to pray at the site, yet the police continue to prevent this. Furthermore, Jewish visitors are harassed and degraded. This discrimination is a grave trampling of civil rights. Israeli law is not recognized by the Wakf authorities; illegal digging has destroyed priceless historical remnants of Jerusalem's Jewish history.

Please, end this travesty and allow Jewish freedom of expression at the Temple Mount. I urge you include the Temple Mount in your "Heritage Plan" of sites significant to the Jewish people.

Sincerely,



Why have we chosen Rosh Chodesh Nisan, the first day of the month of Nisan as International Temple Mount Awareness Day?


This day is the anniversary of the dedication of the Tabernacle.
This day is the first day of the Divine service.

This day is the day on which fire descended from Heaven onto the altar, and the first day in which the Shechina, the Divine Presence, rested in the Tabernacle.

Nisan is the month of Redemption, the month in which our forefathers were redeemed from Egyptian bondage. But the month is called so not only because of the upcoming Festival of Passover and our ancestors' passage from slavery to freedom. Tradition teaches that in the future, as well, the great and final redemption will take place in Nisan. Let us do our part to make it happen!
