Appreciate reality

Rabbi Yehuda Lave

Because of the changes in Google, I am using two mail servers to deliver this email. Although this one is pretty good, I want to have two in order to have a backup. For Tuesday and Wednesday I will use the other server. I can't check if your email address is missing from the other server. The only way to know is if you don't get my email on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please email me to tell me you haven't gotten my regular email post if you fall into that category. Thank you, your friend Yehuda.

Accept And Appreciate Reality

Rabbi Mordechai of Lekhivitz used to say, "If things do not go the way you wish them to be, you should then wish them to be the way they are in reality."

This means we need to accept reality and find our joy in life within that.

Today, find a good time begin a program whereby you repeat this thought every day. Repeat it many times until it becomes part of your thinking. Mastery of this attitude can transform a person's life.

I have had a tremendous life with great ups and downs. If I focused on what I don't have it would be easy to get depressed. I focus instead on what I do have and happy with making my reality my wishes.

Op-Ed: Syrian Refugees, How Lucky They Aren't Jews

 During WWII, the Times put the Holocaust atrocities on page 36. The Syrians are on page one. Somehow, the Jewish refugees always had the wrong papers and were always standing in the wrong line.


Published: Tuesday, September 08, 2015 3:09 PM Jack Engelhard

The refugee tsunami coming out of Syria may well be genuine. But here's something to ponder. "We are deliberately ignoring the issue as a strategic maneuver. If these refugees go and settle in the West then they will take with them the beacon of light that is Islam," an official from the Saudi government said.
So whatever the result, by accident or by design, the West, beginning with Europe , is being gifted by "the beacon of light that is Islam."
Whether from ISIS and whoever else is maneuvering from behind the scenes, this could have been the plan all along…to force millions to vacate one continent in order to subsume another continent. By hook or by crook they keep on coming and most of them are men. Where are the women?
Where are the 57 countries that make up the world's Islamic constituency? Oh – this has just been explained, has it not?
The Islamic confederacies are "deliberately ignoring the issue" to deliver Islam into our homes. Understood.
Says the Saudi authority -- "We already have a lot of Muslims here. We don't need any more."
Apparently we do. We need more.
That Syrian infant washed up on shore. The world weeps. One and a half million Jewish babies never even got that far.
Lucky for these Syrians that they are indeed Muslims. If they were Jews they wouldn't stand a chance. For the Jews in the same spot only a generation ago, no tears, no hugs, no welcoming arms, no open borders, no cry to help these people – nothing. Nothing but silence, the silence of complicity.
Every door was closed. The refugee ship St. Louis tried to find an open door but was sent back.
The New York Times could not be bothered. The paper that covered the Holocaust on page 36 as part of "in other news," today lobbies and campaigns to bring Syrians into the United States – FRONT PAGE.
That Syrian infant washed up on shore. The world weeps. One and a half million Jewish babies never even got that far. So the Times needs more and Europe needs more and is getting more from "the beacon of light that is Islam." Quite a bargain.
We already wrote here about Germany trading its Six Million murdered Jews for six million living and very active Muslims. Good luck with that.
But most of the good luck goes to the Syrians. They have the right papers.
The Jews in the same situation always had the wrong papers and were always standing in the wrong line. Canada 's Mackenzie King government spoke for Canada . Asked how many Jewish refugees it was willing to absorb, a high-placed official uttered these famous words – "None is too many."
He spoke for Canada . He spoke for the world.
He is still speaking for the world. A generation later it's the same scorn, but this time it's for Jews who have come home to the Land of Israel .
So Dear World, spare me your tainted pieties. I can't remember your sweet mercies when the Jews were the storm-tossed refugees.
I can't remember your hugs, your, smiles, your warm embrace when the few of us, the remnants, made it to shore as we told it in our memoir .
Our bad timing, it must have been, that we failed to arrive as Arabs. Yes, lucky them, doubly so because these Syrian men who left their women behind and pushed their children forward, only yesterday weren't they stomping the American flag and shouting death to Christians and Jews?
Tomorrow, once settled in and comfy in their European jihadist no go zones, won't it be the same thing all over again, with raping your wives and daughters as an added feature, a specialty of the beacon of light that is Islam? It's already there, but there's more coming.
Tomorrow, It's already there, but there's more coming.
So spare me your superior compassion because some of us fail to weep as loudly as you do for Syrian infants. We are dry of tears after weeping for Jewish toddlers in Israel who were stoned, knifed, firebombed and shot by Palestinian jihadists who share Syrian kinship.
They are brothers and lucky for them to find you so hospitable. The Jews --we had no such luck. None was too many.
For you, Dear Europe, there is no stopping "the beacon of light that is Islam." That's called justice.

The Death of Conversation

Rabbi Yehuda Lave

Enthusiasm Is Contagious

We are all influenced by the emotional states of the people we interact with. In the presence of cheerful, sincerely kind, upbeat people, we find it easier to become more cheerful and positive. Conversely, in the presence of someone who is negative, kvetchy, irritable, and angry, we easily feel more negative or uncomfortable ourselves. The person whose state is more intense and enduring will have a greater influence on the states of others, for better or worse.

Because the state of enthusiasm is contagious, if you want to increase your own level of enthusiasm, it makes sense to be around other people who are enthusiastic. Even talking to an enthusiastic person for a few minutes is frequently sufficient to elevate our own state. At times just talking to an enthusiastic person on the telephone will raise our spirits.

Your own enthusiasm will have a positive influence on the lives of others. By being enthusiastic you will be doing many acts of kindness. At times, you won't even be aware that your enthusiastic state was helpful to someone else. This can add a dimension of motivation for developing a greater amount of enthusiasm. Not only will you gain yourself, you will also be helping numerous others. Notice the handsome guy on the right. speaking of the right, to enjoy the cartoons you have to scroll to the right below.

The Prophecy of the Vilna Gaon  that is coming true now and Marc Chagall slide show

November 24, 2015

"I haven't found that they invented any new sins in the last 2,000 years... all the sins are the same ones."

- Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz

The Two Skills of Happiness

Happiness is a skill that can be learned. To acquire this skill, it is necessary to master two basic skills:

1) The ability to focus on happiness-producing thoughts, as opposed to those which cause unhappiness.

2) The ability to evaluate events and situations as positive instead of negative. (Or at least to lower the degree of negativity - i.e. rather than considering some discomfort as a tragedy, evaluating it as minor.)

The Prophecy of the Vilna Gaon: "When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, the 'Times of the Messiah' have started, that his steps are being heard"

Jewish Rabbi Eliyahu - Vilna GaonJewish Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman (1720-1797) known as the Gra, or the "Vilna Gaon"

It was in the year of 1720 that a young prodigy and genius was born. The Gaon (Hebrew for "genius"), Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman was to become the most influential Jewish leader in modern history. He would be known as the most renowned Ashkenazi Torah authority in the past thousand years. His vast skills in memorization, his extraordinary talents, great wisdom and his comprehension of all branches of Torah and secular knowledge were early recognized.

By the age of seven, he gave his first public discourse on the Torah demonstrating an intellect that was fully developed to abstract thinking as an adult. By the age of ten years, his wisdom in the understanding of the Torah was so renowned for he no longer could find a teacher with the command of the Torah as he. Known as "The Gra", this prodigious Torah giant set the standard of Torah study, absolute devotion to G-d and a character perfection emulated by centuries of later students of his manuscripts and books.

Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman
Authentic Picture of the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Elijah ben Shlomo Zalman

According to the enlightening article in the Jewish Virtual Library called the"Vilna Gaon – Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna"we read that at a very young age, the young rabbi went into a self-imposed "galus" or exile where he wandered from community to community as a beggar and sage. For forty years, he studied in isolation.

To the Gaon, the Torah was paramount and primary to all other studies. According to the Gaon's son's testimony, his father did not sleep more than two hours in a twenty four hour period for over fifty years. His memory and biblical knowledge was legendary, for he had no peers equal among the sages for the breadth for this knowledge included both revealed and hidden Torah knowledge. Yet he was also knowledgeable in secular sciences including authoring books on grammar and mathematics. His yeshiva, (academy of Torah study) was the premier yeshiva of the world for over 100 years and recognized as the model of all subsequent seminaries of Torah studies.

After forty years of studying in isolation, he finally settled in the town of Vilna. Living a quiet life, his fame as a Tzaddik (righteous man) and Torah scholar soon spread all over the land. In spite of a life of poverty, he gave 20% of all his income to charity and even would limit his own personal needs so he could marry an orphan girl or redeem a captive. Though in constant study, his ear was also kept to the needs of the local population. He began a local yeshiva, accepting students from the renown Torah scholars of that ere and from the writings of these students, scholars today are given a glimpse of the rare breadth of intellect that the Gra upheld.

As we approach the second shabbat that Johnathan Pollard is free, here is an interview with him from Wednesday.

Interview With Rabbi Pesach Lerner, Leader Of The Effort To Free Pollard


Wednesday, November 25, 2015

Rabbi Pesach Lerner is Executive Vice President Emeritus of the National
Council of Young Israel and a decades long advocate and activist on behalf
of Jonathan Pollard. More than anyone, he kept the case alive and in the
headlines, working heroically to seek freedom for the famous prisoner. We
spoke to him on Monday.
How was Jonathan Pollard's first Shabbos outside the prison, the first time
in 30 years that he experienced a Shabbos as a free man?
I asked Jonathan that question when we spoke after Shabbos.

3 Images:

<http://www.yated.com/interview-with-rabbi-pesach-lerner-leader-of-the-effor
t-to-free-pollard.7-1614-7-.html>

Jonathan hesitated for a moment and told me that at 4 p.m.Friday afternoon,
"federal agents from the regional parole board were in my apartment, fitting
me with a GPS device that I must wear on my wrist 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. They were explaining to me what I can and cannot do, where I can and
cannot go. They were informing me of my apartment lockdown, that I am
restricted to my small Manhattan studio apartment from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
every night.

"I felt embarrassed, humiliated, used.

"I had spent 30 years in prison, I was paroled because they had to, not
because the government wanted to, and now I am subjected to this?

"I really didn't know what to think.

"The agents left, and I turned my attention to my wife and the small table
in the room.

"I saw the most beautiful sight you could imagine: Esther lighting Shabbos
candles on a beautifully arranged and set table, with a new challah cover, a
beautifully polished kiddush cup, a bottle of Israeli wine, bentchers.

"Yes, Shabbos was wonderful!

"I was able to sing the kiddush, have a normal dinner conversation, bentch,
for the first time in 30 years.

"And I enjoyed delicacies I have not eaten in 30 years; fresh challah,
chummus, techinah, pineapple, dates, fresh fruits and vegetables."

What are Jonathan's plans for the future?

First he needs to acclimate to the outside world; remember, he was in prison
for 30 years.

This past Friday, I picked him up from his Manhattan apartment and drove him
to a doctor to have the weeping edema on his legs checked out. Sitting in
the passenger side of the front seat, Jonathan commented, "Pesach, this is a
nice car. I haven't been in a car for 30 years; they have changed."

Jonathan and Esther went food shopping at a grocery store down the block
from their apartment. Jonathan told me, "I was overwhelmed with the
selection, so many types of so many things. I was literally dizzy."

We are also dealing with his numerous medical issues, one issue at a time.

Then we will need to work on getting him a job. Jonathan is a Stanford
University graduate, very bright and very creative. He has so much to offer.
However, his parole guidelines affect his use of a computer. Meaning, if he
uses any computer, the government has the right to inspect the contents of
that computer, anytime, anywhere, 24/7. And any employer who gives Jonathan
a job must agree that every computer in the employer's system is subject to
inspection by the federal government. Which employer, which company will
agree to that? In fact, the company that had offered Jonathan a job has
retracted their offer; they cannot agree to allow the federal government
unlimited access to their computers and systems.

He has plans. Jonathan is an avid reader. While in prison, he read hundreds,
if not thousands of books. His interests are the history of Israel, the land
and the people, going back hundreds of years; military history and strategy;
and alternative energy.

Jonathan has numerous ideas with regard to alternative energy that he would
like to research, test, and implement.

What lessons do you take from your 25 plus year involvement with the Pollard
case?

There are many lessons, for the individual and the community.

For the individual, appreciate the simple things, be makir tov to Hakodosh
Boruch Hu for the simple and daily opportunities. Ask for less and help
others more.

For the klal, the Jewish organizations, you represent the klal, you are
authorized by that klal, your power comes from the klal, and you have a
responsibility to treat that mission seriously, to act upon that
responsibility.

The National Council of Young Israel, led by its president, Chaim Kaminetzky
z"l, responded to my request to get more involved in the Jonathan Pollard
cause. Reb Chaim had a seichel hayosher. He was a straight thinker; he
instinctively knew when something was wrong, and he acted upon it. In this
case, he told me to take the lead, he will support me, and the NCYI board
supported us.

We were not concerned if the cause was politically correct, as long as it
was correct.

We were not concerned what other organizations or people would say; we were
concerned with what was the right thing to do. We asked she'eilas chachomim,
received our instructions, and we acted. Together, we made that first visit
to meet Jonathan close to 25 years ago.

In the beginning, we were practically alone. As we researched the case,
asked the right questions, began to see through all the "protective"
coverings, others saw we were on to something. It took a while for other
organizations to come around, but they did. I am proud to say, for years
already, Jewish organizations across the religious and political spectrum
were all in support of Pollard's release.

The injustice was and is so blatant.

I remember reading a column of Reb Avraham Birnbaum in the Yated. I don't
remember the subject, but I remember the message. He told the story of, I
believe, Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzenski zt"l, who advised a young bochur who was
in danger of being drafted into the Russian army. A soldier in the Russian
army would in all probability not remain frum.

Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzenski gave him instructions and then told the bochur, "I
am available to you whenever you need me." The bochur followed the
instructions he was given, but it did not work. He went to find the Brisker
Rav, who was at the city hotel meeting with a group of rabbonim and askonim.
The gabbai would not let the bochur approach the Brisker Rov.

The bochur insisted, created a tumult, and would not leave. Rav Chaim Ozer
heard the tumult, saw the bochur, excused himself from the meeting, and went
out to talk to the bochur. 15-20 minutes later he returned to the meeting.
He sensed a slight tension in the room and he realized that perhaps the
rabbonim and askonim were upset that he left their meeting to talk to a
young bochur.

Rav Chaim Ozer responded, "What are we doing here? Aren't we discussing
important issues effecting Klal Yisroel? Well, that bochur out there is Klal
Yisroel!"

Yes, Jonathan Pollard is Klal Yisroel.

Today boruch Hashem Jonathan Pollard is no longer in prison. But he is not
yet free; many restrictions have been imposed upon him, as we have
discussed.

The message is clear. Embark upon the mission to free Jonathan Pollard was
the right thing to do. We cannot judge success in years, but often only by
the results. Often, an organization has to act simply because it's the right
thing to do.

The lesson we can all take from the events of the last few days is that an
individual can make a difference, save a life, change the world.

Esther Pollard was moser nefesh for her husband during these years. The fact
that Jonathan could endure the prison system for so many years was because
of the chizuk and support she gave him. Jonathan walked out of the prison
with hopes and aspirations because he knew that Esther was waiting for him.

Jonathan's pro bono attorneys of over 15 years, Eliott Lauer and Jaques
Semmelman, worked selflessly and tirelessly on his behalf. They left no
legal opportunity untouched, never accepting no for an answer. They always
looked for another legal angle. The fact that Jonathan was finally granted
mandatory parole is to their credit.

We recognize the small group of supporters in Israel, the United States and
Canada that never gave up.

We thank the wonderful Jews who never stopped davening for Jonathan's
release and were able to call upon rachamei Shomayim until Hashem answered
our prayers

Happy Thanksgiving Day and what is a solution for our elderly?

Learn From Others Reactions

Just because others react to a situation in one way does not mean you also must react the same.

Some people might be extremely nervous or upset in certain situations, but you can still retain a calm and sensible manner.

Today, when you see others reacting with irritation, anger, or depression, ask yourself what other alternatives are possible. What are those people telling themselves and how can those self-statements be challenged?

In general, look for people who have peace of mind and happiness, and learn from them.

WW II Vets Start Dance at Airport
Once again, you are only as old as you feel. This should put a smile on your face….
While waiting for a flight at Washington, D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport,
two World War II veterans proved they can still boogie!
The men were in D.C. as part of an Honor Flight – a service that provides free flights
to veterans so that they can tour the war memorials in the nation's capital.
A group of three women known as the Three Ladies of Liberty began entertaining
the vets with their rendition of The Andrew Sisters' 1940's hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."
That's when one of the vets stood up and provided some entertainment of his, showing off some
impressive - and unexpected - dance moves.
He was soon joined by another veteran who went straight for the ladies as they sang
the iconic wartime song. A 2 min. video was posted to YouTube and has become an instant hit.

SECRETARY KERRY: Just to make a very brief statement. We had a long and very constructive and serious conversation with President Abbas, and I want to say that I know that the situation for Palestinians in the West Bank, in Jerusalem, in Gaza is, at this moment, very dire, that there are extraordinary concerns, obviously, about the violence. And I want to make it very, very clear tonight that I am here at the request of President Obama to see what we can do to try to help contribute to calm and to restore people's confidence in the ability of a two-state solution to still be viable, to be achieved at some point. We are committed to that, two states with two peoples living side by side in peace and security, and President Obama and the United States will continue to work as hard as possible to achieve that end.

Thank you very much.

Report: Interactive Map


Shows Radical Mosques 


Across U.S.

But pointing that out would be "racist."

11.23.2015

Tiffany Gabbay

See map if it does not appear.....http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/report-interactive-map-shows-radical-mosques-across-us

While French and Belgian officials are calling for the "dissolution" of all radical mosques in their countries, respectively, the Obama administration has remained deafeningly silent concerning the nearly 100 U.S.-based mosques currently known to be hotbeds of Islamic extremism.

A report in the Daily Caller provides an interactive map (a screenshot of which is posted above) showing just where these 83 radical mosques are located in the U.S.. The data was provided by the Clarion Project, a non-profit dedicated to documenting and exposing Islamic extremism. According to the report:

These mosques or their leading clerics have radicalized attendees to become terrorists, supported terrorist organizations, made radical Islamist remarks or hosted others that have, or are financially backed by radical individuals or organizations. The FBI declined to tell TheDCNF if the nation's top law enforcement agency has a similar list. The map includes 83 – or nearly 4 percent – of the 2,106 mosques in the United States as of 2010.

In fact, only mosques with a verifiable address were included in DC's list, meaning that the Clarion Project's tally of radical mosques in the U.S. is indeed greater than the 83 exposed in DC's map and report. What's more, the list only includes official mosques, not Islamic community groups. According to DC, several mosques on the list stand out:

Dar al-Hijrah, located just outside Washington in Falls Chruch, Virginia, for example, was the place of worship for two of the 9/11 hijakers. This mosque's present Imam, Shaker Elsayed, described Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna's teachings as "the closest reflection of how Islam should be in this life." The Brotherhood "seeks to implement Sharia-based governance globally," according to the Clarion Project.
Multiple terrorists have come from the Islamic Society of Boston, including the Boston Bombers and al-Qaeda terrorists Aafia Siddiqui, Tarek Mehanna and Ahmad Abousamra.
The Islamic Center of Tucson was "basically the first cell of al-Qaeda in the United States," terrorism expert Rita Katz told The Washington Post in 2002. "At least a dozen terror-linked individuals have been tied to the" center, according to the Clarion Project.

Of course even one radical mosque is all it takes, as is proven by the fact that two of the 9/11 hijakers received support from their mosque in Falls Church. Another item worth noting is that many Islamic organization, like those dubbed "Islamic community centers" or "Islamic cultural centers" are not as innocuous as they may seem, often serving as fronts and breeding grounds for radical activity. Of course, pointing out this fact will be considered "racist."

Sent by a friend in Oregon:

I am sorry that I have not been consistently responsive lately to your emails. I have been somewhat under the weather since my doctors informed me that I have an acute case of Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic Whitehouse Fatigue (PIST-AWF). For those of you who do not know what that is, PIST-AWF is a newly defined disease that is found to be widespread and highly contagious.
Symptoms include, but may not be limited to:


- Severe pain of the scalp from pulling your own hair while viewing the President pander to Muslim terrorists.
- Loose bowels from swallowing the fact we elected Obama twice.
- Extreme hunger due to vomiting from nightly seeing Muslim terrorists murdering innocent people.


If you feel you have Post Islamic Stress Trauma with Apologetic Whitehouse Fatigue, please notify your local election board and place your name on the list for a cure. It is expected, and sincerely hoped, that the cure will be available in November of 2016.


And I stupidly thought it was due to aging!
