Erev Yom Kippur 5776

Lichvod HaRabbonim Shlita:

If you were unable to attend this rally, please take a few minutes of your time to focus on what is probably the biggest existential threat Am Yisroel is facing in our lifetimes....

It was truly an honor to have attended this rally.  Let this pure intentioned pre Yom Kippur Rally be only the beginning....

These are my impressions.  Please watch these links and form your own. If you were unable to attend, after watching some of these links, I hope you will regret not having been there with your supporters and followers and resolve to be at the next rally because we have just begun to fight!!! and we need you!!!....Am Yisroel needs your leadership.... Hashem needs to hear our unified and collective voices...

A Sweet yet Somber Message from this Rabbinic Led Rally Tehilim 23 in an era foreshadowing terrible evil...

ה' רֹעִי לֹא אֶחְסָר: The L-rd is my shepherd; I shall not want

גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ 

בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת 

לֹא-אִירָא רָע 

כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי

Gam ki elech begei tzalmavet, lo ira ra, ki Atah imadi 

Even as I walk in the valley of the shadow of death

I will not fear any hardship for You are with me. 

Band, Pey Daled ....The heavens are wide open.  Let us shatter the gate of Heaven....

Reciting Tehillim 121 

 אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי: I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?

עֶזְרִי מֵעִם ה' עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ  My help is from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

 I lift up my eyes, the words of this psalm.  Tears filled my eyes as I heard the sweet voices of Pey Daled. Pey Daled performing 1:40 into the video

When Klal Yisroel came to Har Sinai, the pasuk says, "VaYichan Sham Yisroel Neged HaHar" - "And the Jews camped near the mountain". "VaYichan" is in the singular - "And he camped" - although it is referring to all of Klal Yisroel. Rashi says that this is to teach us the unity that Klal Yisroel had. They were, "K'Ish Echad BiLev Echad"- "like 1 person with 1 heart". One heart one mind. http://www.shortvort.com/beshalach-parasha/10670-kish-echad-blev-echad-even-without-a-common-cause

Please note that these were Rabbi's representing the full spectrum of the Jewish people.  Rabbi Avi Weiss, Rabbi Bruce Ginsberg and Rabbi Richard Block etc..... Orthodox, Conservative and Reform, Re-constructionist and Traditional with ...What was missing here was the masses of  people....What was missing here was Hakhel a gathering of the masses, ... reminiscent of the Kakhel which takes place G-d willing, this year as well,  the first day of Chol Hamoed Sukkot in Israel following a Shemitah year in Jerusalem near the site of the Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple. Perhaps it is this unity Hashem desires and when we unfortunately do not have a Holy Temple, and we don't want Him to bring a disaster, or chas Veshalom, human sacrifices, in order to achieve this Unity...It can be achieved with fulfilling this Mitzvah in the capacity that we can...

Deuteronomy 31:12

הַקְהֵל אֶת הָעָם הָאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַטַּף וְגֵרְךָ אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ לְמַעַן יִשְׁמְעוּ וּלְמַעַן יִלְמְדוּ וְיָרְאוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם וְשָׁמְרוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת כָּל דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת:Assemble the people: the men, the women, and the children, and your stranger in your cities, in order that they hear, and in order that they learn and fear the Lord, your God, and they will observe to do all the words of this Torah.

Hillary Barr was an amazing MC.  She was the women behind the scenes, helping to organize this event under the direction of Rabbi Avi Weiss. Rabbi Avi Weiss set the tone of the program. Pey Daled added much to the spirit of the Rally. 

Cindy Grosz helped to organize and publicize this fabulous event, a seasoned PR person. She spoke and introduced a college student and a high school student representative

The crowd sang...Am Yisroel Chai...https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86sGl9yfinjZVFXODNUbXVuSG8/view?usp=sharing 

Rabbi's went off stage into the crowd and started to dance inspired by the music.   Separate for men and women....they drew in Curtis Sliwa founder of Guardian Angels... (please note that the Ger Toshav, resident rigteous Noahides,  participated in Hakhel and not only Israelites)

Rabbi Avi Weiss 

 "Ani Shalom Vechi Adaber, Hema,  Lemilchama.  I speak but when I start to negotiate and the other side declares Death to America and Death to Israel,then  they are for War.."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_68_tjyRG8&safe=active

Shalom, Shalom Veeyn Shalom Rabbi Weiss cried....We all desire peace, Peace, Peace but this is no peace....

Shofar blowing of Rabbi's...

There was a counter rally, a anti Zionist Rally by Neturei Karta group close by.  This group has become stronger and can no longer be ignored as they have a significant online presence which gives the impression that they are mainstream group representing "true Judaism". Iran Deal Advocacy: Rabbi's, OU, Agudath Israel vs Neturei Karta.

The collapse of the Palestinians
by Reuven Berko

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are too busy with their rivalry to truly care about the Palestinian people's welfare • Both are also oblivious to the fact that Middle East geopolitics and global circumstances have marginalized the Palestinian issue.

The great American patronizing email
by Dror Eydar

A recently released 2010 email from Martin Indyk to Hillary Clinton reveals a great deal about the Americans' misguided approach toward Israel and its leader • Five years later, it is clear how wrong the Obama administration's approach actually was.

Israel is not a lonely island
by Boaz Bismuth

The International Atomic Energy Agency's decision on Thursday to reject, by a large majority of 61 to 43, the proposal from the Arab bloc -- to impose international oversight on Israel's nuclear facilities is not just a major Israeli victory, but also proof that Israel is not some wayward island in a virtuous global sea.

Dear Friends,

 

ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 12 NOON, THERE WILL BE A RALLY IN OPPOSITION TO THE DISASTROUS AGREEMENT WITH IRAN AT THE UNITED STATES MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS, EAST 45TH STREET BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AVENUES IN MANHATTAN.    Organized by Rabbi Avi Weiss, Spiritual Leader of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale and founder of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg, Spiritual Leader of Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere and past president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis and the Union for Traditional Judaism, the rally will be led by rabbis from the tri-state area representing Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform congregations.  Among them will be: 

 

• Rabbi Rick Block, immediate past international President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and spiritual leader of Temple Tifereth Israel in Beachwood, Ohio
• Rabbi Perry Raphael Rank, past international President of the Rabbinical Assembly and spiritual leader of the Midway Jewish Center in Syosset, N.Y.
• Rabbi Charles Klein, past president of the New York Board of Rabbis and spiritual leader of the Merrick Jewish Center in Merrick, N.Y.
• Rabbi Elliot Skiddell, current president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis and spiritual leader of the Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Emeth in Rockville Centre, N.Y.
• Rabbi Art Vernon, current president of the Queens/Nassau/Suffolk Region of the Rabbinical Assembly and spiritual leader of the West Hempstead J.C.C. in West Hempstead, N.Y.
• Rabbi Allen Schwartz, spiritual leader of Congregation Oheb Zedek (OZ) in Manhattan

 
College students are being encouraged to participate in this rally  and connect with Cindy Grosz of the Stop Iran Now College Activism effort (stopirannowcollegecampus@gmail.com) in anticipation of a rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel activism on campuses in the wake of the negotiations with Iran.

At this time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we pray for the aversion of a severe decree for the Jewish People, we are so grateful to Rabbi Weiss and Rabbi Ginsburg for giving voice to the unprecedented unity among the Jewish People against this agreement that would lift the U.N. arms embargo against Iran and release $50 billion in cash and $100 billion in contracts to the Iranian regime which is actively seeking the destruction of Israel (G-d forbid!).     

May all our prayers be answered, 
Lynne Bursky-Tammam and Nessim Tammam

Yom Hashoah Mobilization Committee

Rabbi's Please make this announcement in Shul when you give your Shabbos Teshuva Drasha and encourage your congregants to come! It is not enough to just gather in our shuls. We must gather in front of the world, in front of the UN,  and make a Statement regarding OUR Promised Land, the Land Promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to their descendants as an everlasting inheritance.  We must go public to create a Kiddush Hashem  in place of this public Chillul Hashem!

The Palestinians have no rights to Our Land nor does the UN have the authority to grant them such rights. It is an everlasting Covenant between the G-d of Jacob and the Nation of Israel!

Bring the children since it is they who will inherit the world we prepare for them.  We desperately need their prayers! They will be praying for their own future! How will we answer them when they ask us how we did our share to stop the empowerment of evil?
