Flowers and principles of life

  Consider the Effect of Your Words 

When you focus on the outcome of your words, you will be careful not to insult others. Imagine the harm you are causing yourself by turning this person against you! Practically speaking, you never know when you will need this person's help or friendship.

Of course, we should avoid hurting people with words because it's the right thing to do. But at least we should do so out of enlightened self-interest!

10 PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

5. All challenges have positive elements.  Everything is for your good.
6. G-d is hidden in all the events of your life.

Photos of Mexican drug lord's home after being raided.......and share your knowledge

Share Your Knowledge

When you meet someone you know, ask yourself, "What knowledge or ideas can I share with this person that he would appreciate?" Similarly, when reading articles or books, try to think of people who would want to read them.

Subject:: Photos of Mexican drug lord's home after being raided.......   Photos of a Mexican drug lord's home after being raided.... Go and kill in the Name of the Lord, my son! There was a matched pair of these found. .357 Magnum semi-automatics with solid gold grips.   This guy had a better gun collection that most legitimate museums do.   Just a quaint little villa in the hills - Drug money bought it all!   Man-made cave and hot tub inside the home.   A collection of exotic animals - which were cared for in the grandest fashion, by the way.   8 Lions were on the property.   A very rare Tiger.   The back yard pool.   Exotic art collection - some of which was illegal to own - some stolen.   More guns than you could ever imagine!   This pile of cash before it was counted was estimated to be approximately 18 Billion Dollars! After it was counted it turned out to be a little more than 22 Billion Dollars!   From another angle.   Guns were hidden all over the house, along with ample ammo, just in case of trouble.   Stacks of cash were found in every nook and cranny...   This case is filled with 100 dollar Bills estimated to be 1/2 a million dollars and no doubt headed out to make another drug deal with perhaps the Columbia ns.   18 plastic bins filled with 100 dollar bills were found...   Another cabinet stack tight with cash - all 100's.   More 100's.   Each of these stacks of 100's holds USD250,000 (a quarter of a million US dollars)! They also had millions in Columbia n money and Mexican Pesos, although they preferred  American dollars for the most part.   There were even stacks of Chinese Yuan found in one closet.     More Gold machine guns and pistols - most were never fired, just held for collection value.   The money and valuables found in this one house alone, would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the USA for 12 years! It is estimated to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone.  Not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade.  These people have so much money, they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients.  Their money can buy politicians, cops, judges, whatever they need they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs!  This is why the drug problem is so difficult to fight.

Drama in the Judean Desert. and the wrong number and a holocaust story

You and Your Spouse are Unique

Bible principles give us the wisdom and concepts that are needed for a harmonious marriage. But just knowing these ideas will not automatically guarantee a happy marriage. Torah ideas need to be internalized and practiced. You have strengths and weaknesses, positive qualities and faults - and so does the person you marry. You have a unique life history; you came from a specific family - and so did your spouse. You have a unique genetic makeup, with a unique combination of intellect and emotions - and so does every other human being on our planet. Your temperament, personality, communication style, and myriad other factors need to interact with the temperament, personality, and communication style of your spouse. This will inevitably create many challenges. Your response to these challenges will either create problems, pain, and quarrels... or will be the source of great spiritual and emotional elevation. Just as one can only have peace of mind when one accepts everything (especially the negative, like a broken arm) from G-d as for the good, all the things you don't like bout your spouse are teaching lessons for you as well---IF YOU LET THEM BE.

The Amazing Ibex in the Judean Desert   http://www.youtube.com/embed/wdsZz8StyV4

 

DVAR TORAH: Sefirah      by  Rabbi Baruch Lederman
24,000 talmidim (students) of Rabbi Akiva perished in a horrible plague. These were the best and the brightest. It was a devastating
blow to the leadership, to the entire existence of Klal Yisroel. Hashem in His infinite mercy enabled our nation to rebuild after this
tragedy. Torah Judaism continues to persevere, as the following true story illustrates:

While he was in Dachau , a Jew who was being taken to his death suddenly flung a small bag at Judah Wallis. He caught it, thinking it
might contain a piece of bread. Upon opening it, however, he was disturbed to discover a pair of tefillin. Judah was very frightened
because he knew that were he to be caught carrying tefillin, he would be put to death instantly. So he hid the tefillin under his shirt and
headed for his bunkhouse.

In the morning, just before the appel [roll call], while still in his bunkhouse, he put on the tefillin. Unexpectedly, a German officer
appeared. He ordered him to remove the tefillin, noted the number on Judah's arm, and ordered him to go straight to the appel.

At the appeal, in front of thousands of silent Jews, the officer called out Judah 's number and he had no choice but to step forward. The
German officer waved the tefillin in the air and said, 'Dog! I sentence you to death by public hanging for wearing these.'

Judah was placed on a stool and a noose was placed around his neck.

Before he was hanged, the officer said in a mocking tone, 'Dog, what is your last wish?'

'To wear my tefillin one last time,' Judah replied.

The officer was dumbfounded. He handed Judah the tefillin. As Judah put them on, he recited the verse that is said while the tefillin
are being wound around the fingers: 'I will betroth you to me forever and I will betroth you to me with righteousness and with justice
and with kindness and with mercy and I will betroth you to me with fidelity, and you shall know Hashem.'

It is hard for us to picture this Jew with a noose around his neck, wearing tefillin on his head and arm - but that was the scene that the
entire camp was forced to watch, as they awaited the impending hanging of the Jew who had dared to break the rule against wearing
tefillin. Women from the adjoining camp were lined up at the barbed wire fence that separated them from the men's camp, forced to
watch this horrible sight.

As Judah turned to watch the silent crowd, he saw tears in many people's eyes. Even at that moment, as he was about to be hanged,
he was shocked. Jews were crying! How was it possible that they still had tears left to shed? And for a stranger? Where were those
tears coming from?

Impulsively, in Yiddish, he called out, 'Yidden, don't cry. With tefillin on, I am The victor. Don't you understand, I am the winner!'

The German officer understood the Yiddish and was infuriated. He said to Judah , 'You dog, you think you are the winner? Hanging is
too good for you. You are going to get another kind of death.'

Judah was taken from the stool and the noose was removed from his neck. He was forced into a squatting position and two huge
rocks were placed under his arms. Then he was told that he would be receiving 25 lashes to his head - the head on which he had
dared to position his tefillin. The officer told him that if he dropped even one of the rocks, he would be shot immediately. In fact,
because this was such an extremely painful form of death, the officer advised him, 'Drop the rocks now. You will never survive the 25
lashes to the head. Nobody ever does.'

Judah 's response was, 'No, I won't give you the pleasure.'

At the 25th lash, Judah lost consciousness and was left for dead. He was about to be dragged to a pile of corpses , after which he
would have been burned in a ditch, when another Jew saw him, shoved him to the side, and covered his head with a rag, so people
didn't realize he was alive. Eventually, after he recovered consciousness fully, he crawled to the nearest bunkhouse that was on
raised piles, and hid under it until he was strong enough to come out under his own power. Two months later he was liberated.

He met a 17-year-old girl in the DP camps who had seen the hanging and beating episode. The two decided to marry. They asked
the legendary Klausenberger Rebbe to perform the marriage ceremony. The Rebbe wrote out a kesubah by hand from memory and
married the couple.They eventually had a son Yosef who grew up to be the director of Arachim in Israel. Rabbi Wallis has that
handwritten kesubah in his possession to this day.

Dedicated by Yaakov Aris in honor of his son Yosef Simcha.

Amazing Paths.., 60 minutes anti-antisemitism.and holocaust memorials

Easier Than You Imagined

You probably have things you currently feel are too difficult for you to learn or to do, just because of the way that you are looking at them. If you find a totally new way to look at what you are going to try to learn, you will find that it's much easier for you to learn than you had ever imagined. The new way of looking at things doesn't go against your limiting self-image.

You have to ask, who in today's information age, has enough money to buy 60 minutes and their token Jew, Bob Simon?

Video: A Well Crafted Piece of Propaganda Packed with Intentional Lies, Is It Sunday Already?

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon on Sunday presented "Christians of the Holy Land," a piece of complex, anti-Israeli propaganda that was clearly intended to cause Israel damage among US Christians.

A little humor before a dose of more realty:

Unusual Vehicles and world's largest ant hill and the Yemenite who hanged Eichmann on April 25, 2012

Building Your Self-Image One Tiny Step at a Time

There are special occurrences, situations, and opportunities that help build your self-image in a short time. However, it is more common to improve one tiny step at a time every day than to have quick progress in this area.

The daily question to ask yourself is: "What small improvement can I make now?"

Aussies, Kiwis set to mark Anzac Day in Phuket

PHUKET: Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, commemorated by both countries on April 25 every year to honor the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire

In time for ANZAC day Kiwis and Aussies.   Be proud on April 25  The 'last post' is universal among almost all the armed forces of the world, though it may vary among them in its execution.  In this example the bugle call is played in its entirety, and it is a sad and beautiful thing to hear. The unknown young lady bugler has terrific breath power.  She is accompanied by Andre Rieu and his orchestra.
