THE DREAM - Moshiach Answers and Explains

THE DREAM - Moshiach Answers and Explains
BS'D

"I see you! I see you!" I was so excited, "Come out, come out of the cave. Come, come, come, come, come, I'm here, come out, don't be afraid. " For about 15 minutes, I was physically bending down (during sleep), trying to pursuade Moshiach to come out of the cave. He didn't want to come out. I was inside the cave and Moshiach was hiding inside the alcove. I asked him which cave he is in and he said on Mount Carmel, inside the cave of Eliyahu HaNavi.[+/-] show/hide text

I couldn't see his face, because the alcove was dark and low and he was deep inside. (It could also be that he didn't let me see his face and most of all, HaShem didn't allow me to see).

Moshiach said I can ask him questions and he'll answer (the conversation was in Hebrew).


Question: Are you always in the cave of Eliyahu HaNavi?
Answer: No. I come and go.

Question: Why are you in the cave of Eliyahu HaNavi?
Answer: It's something I'm forced to do. I'm occupied by him.

Question: Why am I zoche (merit) to have these dreams, visions and revelations? Is it because I'm the gilgul of *****?
Answer: It's in the zechut of Shalom Bayit, because you please your husband. It is also because your neshamot are connected and are one.

Question: Why are you not revealing yourself already?
Answer: Bnei Israel are not ready.

Question: How can you say that? A Jew just died Al Kiddush HaShem in Uman. Young children are learning Torah. There's a tremendous Teshuva movement world-wide.
Answer: The Knesset handed security authority of Rochel Imenu's Tomb to the PA (Palestinian Authority) and to the Arab border police.

Question: How is it our fault? We did not decide to give it them.
Answer: Less than 3 Jews barely mentioned it, no one cried. It caused so much pain in Shamayim, so much sorrow...

Comment: I will bomb the Knesset and reduce it to pebbles and will die with them Al Kiddush HaShem. I'll kill all the Erev Rav. I will kill them all.
Answer: HaShem gifted you last summer to go to Eretz Israel and fight the disengagement. You didn't go to Rachel's Tomb to daven by her to HKB'H.

Question: As soon as I wake up, I'm going to the airport and fly to Eretz Israel and without any detours, straight to Rachel's Tomb. Will you then reveal and bring us the redemption?
Answer: The opportunity has passed.

Question: So what can we do to bring you?
Answer: שעת רצון (a time of Will).

Question: When is שעת רצון?
Answer: הזמן נפגש עם היום והעיגול מושלם The time meets with the day and the circle is complete.

Question: Can you explain?
Answer: The Magen David is made of 2 triangles that meet. There are 6 corners in the Magen David. In each corner, a different name of HaShem's unique name is engraved and the corners of the Magen David rotates. When it's שעת רצון, say "Moshiach, come" and HaShem will agree. Till today, no one did this.

Moshiach: You may ask 2 more questions. I must leave. I'll give you a few more minutes; time according to earth, not Shamayim.

NK: thinking what to ask....

Question: Who can bring Moshiach more, the men or the women?
Answer: Men, women and children. The completeness is men learning Torah; women being modest and holy; and children praying.
Moshiach explaining: A man without a woman cannot be complete. A woman can be good and bad. She can break the man's learning Torah by being immodest and unholy. But the children, the children, they have innocence. The children have the power to open רקיעים heavens. A child that says Tehillim and prays has the power of בוקע רקיעים erupting heavens more than 1,000 men together learing Torah. If this generation would know the power of children, they would not place them in front of the TV, computers, video games. This generation is very weak.

Question: Did you ever come before?
Answer: 6 times. 60 years ago, 250 years ago. Tzaddikim השביעו me and did יחודים. I cannot tell you the other 4 times.

NK: I'm so happy to know you and speak with you. I will tell everyone that you are here to stay and you will soon be revealed. Please bless Am Israel that --- Moshiach, where are you? where are you? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

(NK's comments: I recorded it 99.9% exact. This is probably the most exact recorded dream ever.
I asked Moshiach to bless Am Israel but he disappeared. Imagine having in your hand a cup of water and you are about to drink and it poooof, disappears. When he disappeared, all I could say was WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
The dream ended 3:15 am earth time - gematria שי-ה - It can be Roshei Tevot הוא יהיה שם - He will be there (Moshiach), in time of need and it time of sorrow).

What is Frum?

People have asked me how I ended up in West Orange. What is a a bearded guy doing in such a modern community...Shouldn't I be in a frummer environment...

Does frum mean homogeneous?

Does frum mean hours of people learning...number of people in davening...signs in Yiddish...black and white on the streets...

Or does frum mean that I am building the best relationship with Gd for me at this time?

Sure, we have a concept of not living in a wicked society, but do we fear that our neighbors that wear t-shirts and have secular newspapers delivered are intrinsically evil? We may think that it isn't the best path for our growth, but isn't their place in the world up to them? Are we only frum if we are surrounded by like minded ideologies? It may be for some, and those that it appeals to should choose it.

Polygamy - Hot Kosher Sex

Jan and Dean sang about it in 1963, but some Jews, concerned over the increasingly lower birth rate among Jews, are suggesting that “two girls for every boy” may be the answer. Statisticians have proclaimed a “clear numerical superiority” of available women over available men in the Jewish dating pool. This is bad news for Jewish women, who become increasingly competitive in looking for Mr. Right, while the men sit back and enjoy the ride, since there are always more women for them to choose from.

Perhaps the time is right for polygamy to make its long-awaited comeback. HBO has a hit show in Big Love, depicting the drama of a polygamous Mormon marriage. Concern with “the dating crisis” has the religious Jewish community up in arms. And recent articles in the Jerusalem Post quoted one Bar-Ilan University professor as suggesting that Jewish men take concubines, to combat the declining birth rate. And last year, noted philanthropist Michael Steinhardt even gave a controversial speech — explained away by some as satire — in which he proposed polygamy as a real-time solution to the problem. As the discussion continues, look for Martha Stewart to advise on how newlywed “triples” or “quads” should handle registering for multiple china patterns.

Row Over Teen Mums

by TJ Reporter

- Friday 1st of September 2006

A Tory Councillor apologised yesterday for any offence he caused the Jewish community, after he was quoted by two local newspapers as attributing Barnet’s rise in teenage pregnancies primarily to orthodox Jewish girls.

In a front page story bannered ‘Baby Boomers – teenage pregnancy rise highest in the country’ in last week’s Edgware & Mill Hill Times and Hendon & Finchley Times, it was reported that Chris Harris had claimed that the increase in teen births between 15 and 17 was due to “the large religious community such as orthodox Jews who tend to have babies at a young age”.

His astonishing and unsubstantiated allegations were immediately refuted by orthodox communal rabbis, who called them absurd and bewildering.

Cllr Harris, while apologising to the community for any offence Jewish readers might have taken, said that his remarks had been taken out of context – a claim flatly refuted by the Times Newspaper group.

A spokesman for the two papers which have a combined circulation of over 120,000 copies per week, said it was sticking by its guns last night, saying the quotes were accurate and a fair reflection of Cllr Harris’s interview.

Rabbi Leivi Sudak of Lubavitch of Edgware said: “I’m astonished and shocked that he has come out with this and would challenge Councillor Chris Harris to find a secondary Jewish school which has a crèche in it.

“Other secondary schools do, but there aren’t any Jewish ones. In my 23 years of working as a mohel, I have never performed a bris on a baby whose mother was under 18 years of age and am unaware of any pregnant 15 to 17-year-old teenagers in Barnet. It’s also illegal and against the age of consent for any girl to have a baby at 15 but overall I am just shocked that this has been said.”

Rabbi Benjamin Rabinowitz, of Edgware United Synagogue, said he had never come across a pregnant teenager in his community.

Rabbi Gershon Overlander of Hendon Chabad said: “That’s bizarre. The implication is that they are not married and therefore they couldn’t be referring to the orthodox Jewish community. There is a certain misrepresentation here”.

Rabbi YY Schochet of Mill Hill United Synagogue said “For those orthodox Jewish girls who might get married young, it wouldn’t be below 18 years of age. That has nothing to do with teenage pregnancy and the correlation between the two is just absurd.”

Echoing his comments, Rabbi Avrohom Pinter, the Head teacher of Yesodeh Hatorah Girls School in Stamford Hill said; “That sort of statement is totally unfounded and cannot be attributed to the orthodox Jewish community as they do not get married at such a young age.”

Rabbi Gershon Overlander from Chabad of Hendon said: “That’s bizarre. The implication is that they are not married and therefore they couldn’t be referring to the orthodox Jewish community. There is a certain misrepresentation here”.

Responding to the community’s concerns, Councillor Harris told TJ: “Clearly when I was interviewed by the journalist, we were talking at cross purposes. I believed she was talking about everyone under the age of 20, and didn’t understand she was specifically talking about the age cohort 15 to 17. If I had realised she was referring to that age group, I would never have made the comments I made in relation to some ethnic groups on occasions having children in wedlock at a younger age.

“Evidently, teenage pregnancies in the age group 15 to 17 are virtually unknown in the Jewish community. I apologise if any unintentional offence or confusion has been caused due to the miscommunication between myself and the journalist.”

Corridors of Power: The silent ones

peggy cidor

THE JERUSALEM POST

Aug. 31, 2006

In one of his most sarcastic but less-known pieces, writer S.Y. Agnon imagined the "Beit Siftotayim" (The House of Lips). Long before it was ever created, Agnon imagined a place where our glorious pioneer fathers could not stop talking because they had become free Zionist citizens.

In Arabic the word is magliss, which means a place to sit - and this may provide more than a hint to the origins of the current conflict - but that's another story.

The local city council was created in the image of a parliament as a place where elected people gather and speak.

All this introduction is intended to tell you, dear readers, that when our 31 elected citizens who rule the city convene in the city council, almost all they are expected to do is speak.

Most of them do. Quite a bit.

But a considerable number of them don't.

Shlomo Bresca and Yair Lari, Moshe Lock and Avraham Feiner, Yaakov Shnur and Shlomo Daitch. These are the silent ones, members of the coalition, from the United Torah Judaism and Shas parties. Unlike their colleagues, they hardly ever speak up in city council meetings.

"They were sent to the city council for specific reasons," explains a senior member of the coalition. (We might note that he himself is very talkative and very well-regarded in the haredi world.) "They represent this stream or that rabbi from various sectors of the haredi parties."

Our analyst then adds, "Usually, when they arrive at a city council meeting, they have no idea what it's about or what they are supposed to do, let alone think that they might represent anything other than their own sectorial interest."

At least in one case, it would appear, our cultural interpreter was correct. Upon arrival at the city council, immediately after the last elections, Corridors of Power asked Councilman Lock, the newest representative of the Gur hassidic sect, what his preferred issues would be.

His response was telling. "I am here because the Admor (head of the sect) told me to be here. My only plan is to avoid becoming involved and I took an oath not to talk to the press."
And that was the last time that I or any of my colleagues ever heard his voice.

His predecessor, Rabbi Haim Miller, who is a very talkative politician, explains. "What can I do? A large portion of the new city council members from the haredi parties act as if they were members of a monastery who took an oath of silence."

Perhaps silence is becoming an important part of the basic qualifications of our city councillors, since silent and discreet politicians can also be found in the ranks of Shas.

According to a colleague from Shas, Shlomo Bresca, a very esteemed young city councillor, "has never asked for the floor in a city council meeting." Remaining cautiously anonymous, the colleague adds, "He is very young, only 38 years old... and he has said more than once that if not for the decision of his patron, Rabbi Reuven Elbaz, he wouldn't have dreamed of running for city council."

Yair Lari, who is close to Shas leader Eli Yishai, is also silent. But in contrast to Bresca, our commentator informs us, "Lari understands how politics works and he likes it very much. But discretion is his second name - we don't even know what he does for a living."

Shnur, one of the oldest members of the council, is the representative of Chabad (Lubavitch). Our wily commentator notes that, "Since we all know what the lita'im (Lithuanian Jews) think of Chabad, you can easily understand what his status is."
Shnur may be silent, but this writer still remembers that Shnur was the only member of the council who joined an organized tour of the security barrier around the city two years ago. Tersely, he explained that he "thought that he should see for himself what the fuss was all about."

In the previous council, in accordance with rotation agreements between the different factions of the haredi parties, we even had a city council member who didn't speak Hebrew. He served - in Yiddish - for a very short period and left in the same manner as he arrived: silently and discreetly.

The heads of the parties, who have been around for a long time and are already vice mayors (and so receive a salary), are used to the way things work. They know how to sell a good story, they know how to handle journalists and they know the rules of the game.

"Obviously, some of them have learned to like the job and the honor it brings them," our interlocutor contends. "But others were sent by the rabbis because they weren't shpitz (stars) at the yeshiva. They are here for a specific reason: to preserve their rabbis' interests.

"At the least, they are honest," he concludes. "They don't try to peddle the usual stuff about 'serving the citizens.'"

Following the herd

By Shahar Ilan

The new communications minister, Ariel Atias, last week provided an astonishing figure in the ultra-Orthodox newspaper Bakehila. The Haredi public, which totals an estimated 600,000 people, has purchased to date only 30,000 "kosher" mobile phones, which exclude content services.

This despite the clear and vociferous directives by Torah sages to use only such cell phones.

This is not the Torah sages' only failure recently. Even more embarrassing was their attempt to ban Internet use. There can hardly be another public so active in the area of online forums as the Haredim (ultra-Orthodox). There you do not need to identify yourself, and under the protection of anonymity may write whatever you think and feel. Haredi businesses have long since learned that whoever is not on the Internet is essentially non-existent.

Ultra-Orthodox rabbis do not internalize the rule that you don't impose a decree the public cannot fulfill. Like a deluge, the modern world is flooding the Haredi street, and the rabbis, instead of instructing their people to wear life jackets, are trying to stop the water with their hands. The result: The Haredi public continues to respect the Torah sages; it just doesn't heed them so much.

There are many possible explanations for the decline in the power and influence of the Torah sages over the past few years. One of the most important is the split of the Council of Torah Sages into three councils - of Agudat Yisrael, Degel Hatorah and Shas.

But the main reason is that the rabbis have made themselves irrelevant. They are battling the modern world instead of trying to serve as regulators. And mainly, they completely fail in dealing with the truly important crisis facing the Haredi society of learners - the economic crisis.

The most prominent scholar on Haredi society, Prof. Menachem Friedman, has been warning for 30 years that this crisis is waiting to happen, but none of the rabbis have tried to preempt the foreknown economic tsunami. Friedman warned, for example, that a time would come when the secular public would no longer be prepared to bankroll the yeshiva students. And yet, when the child allowances were slashed, the rabbis and their public were caught completely off-guard. In the general public, that would be termed a fiasco. The Haredim quietly grumble.

It's not that stuff isn't happening in Haredi society. The Israel Defense Forces' Haredi Nahal battalion was created. Vocational training courses are opening. Dozens of men and women received law degrees last week. But everything is happening too slowly, in a faint trickle. The reason for this is that all of the processes are occuring without the overt support of the rabbis. Their uncourageous consent is expressed merely through turning a blind eye.

The conservative rabbis are trying to hang on by their fingernails to a society in which two out of three men study. They fail to grasp that this is untenable from an economic standpoint. Other rabbis know what has to be done, but they haven't the guts, nor broad enough shoulders.

They haven't the guts to announce that only those who excel ought to study their entire lives, while the rest should study for several years at a kollel - a yeshiva for married men - and then go out to work. They haven't the guts to initiate academic tracks at yeshivas, like in the United States, and to permit the establishment of Haredi high-school yeshivas. Fear of the zealots is stronger than concern for the public.

Within this so very mediocre leadership, Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman, the Number 2 man in Degel Hatorah, stands out positively. Steinman favors jobs for those who do not wish to continue studying, and also backed the Tal Law. But he too lacks the courage, and perhaps the ability, to take it all the way and express his positions publicly. He is especially admired among Haredim in the Diaspora, but cannot seem to become a prophet in his own city.

And to finish up, a moment of Haredi logic: If this generation was deserving, a leader would surely arise who knows how to contend with the current challenges. Since the generation was not found worthy, the Haredi public has become a herd whose shepherds follow it.
