Holocaust? No, it can’t happen here…

Following are some excerpts of Holocaust? No, it can’t happen here…, from Rabbi Lazer Brody’s, Lazer Beams blog – Reflections of Emuna with Rabbi Lazer Brody , which deals on the gathering clouds of American antisemitism.

Famous last words of German Jews prior to Kristallnacht: “No, it can’t happen here…”

American Jews, ever so comfy, say the same thing today. With oil up to $120/barrel and the value of the dollar down by over 30%, with a waning economy and increasing unemployment, it’s only a matter of time until the ground really starts burning under the feet of American Jews.

The Miserable 1701

Following are some excerpts of The Miserable 1701, from Rabbi Lazer Brody’s, Lazer Beams blog – Reflections of Emuna with Rabbi Lazer Brody , which gives some insights of the self-destructing regime.

Without emuna, people are blind as bats. Adding arrogance to blindness renders a person completely daft.

Olmert’s own party comrade and government minister, former IDF Commander-in-Chief Mofaz, is now crying to Condi that UN Resolution 1701 is meaningless and that Hizbolla controls South Lebanon while the impotent UN Force drinks expresso and plays backgammon. Duh…

We’d Better Wake Up – Now

Following are some excerpts of Rabbi Lazer Brody’s, Lazer Beams blog – Reflections of Emuna with Rabbi Lazer Brody , which I think we should all read and be concened about.

Today’s headlines are one big conglomerate wake-up call from Hashem – it takes a deaf, dumb, and blind person to ignore them.

We can no longer take our water for granted, as the Kinneret is nearing crisis-level.

We can no longer take basic foodstuffs for granted.

Winds of war are blowing from the north.

Our silly government is taking apart the country ( Golan, Jerusalem, with more on the table) with its own soiled hands, secretly and unilaterally bending to the demands of those committed to our destruction, G-d forbid.

You can be a miracle worker

Reflections of emuna with Rabbi Lazer Brody

The Hebrew month of Nissan in general, and the week of Passover in particular, mark the season of miracles. For a person with faith, miracles are as natural as the laws of nature, since faith transcends any natural laws, putting one in a realm where miracles are reality.

The Yerushalmi Talmud (tractate Taanis, 17 a-b) tells about Rabbi Ada bar Ahava (Achva), a righteous scholar. If there wasn’t enough rain, all he would have to do is remove a shoe, and dark clouds would suddenly appear on the horizon. The Talmud continues to tell us exactly how Rabbi Ada acquired the power to perform miracles, listing 8 main criteria. The first 4 criteria apply to those who learn Torah, but the second 4 apply to each and every one of us.

The Blessing of the Trees

Reb Akiva M of Mystical Paths has blessed me, by granting me permission to place this Video which is a demonstration of Birkat HaIlan, the blessing of the trees, a mitzvah for the month of Nissan, with Rabbi Lazer Brody, shlita and Reb Nati.
