Our contemporary duty in the seal of blood

November 20, 2014   

We do not know the accounts of heaven. We are certain that everything the Blessed One does is for the good, that these are the trials of the Messiah, and that in the end the great redemption will come, only then will our thirst be filled and we will understand everything. The entire Jewish world was shocked to see the flowing blood and the books immersed in it, basking in the essence of the eternal soul of the Jew whose exile has not yet ended, despite some who tried to think otherwise. Reality slaps and beats them on the head, in blood. The great men of the generation call us, on the contrary, to strengthen ourselves and strive in the Holy Torah, as the sages say, "To be saved from the clutches of the Messiah, one must engage in Torah and acts of kindness." Indeed, the fourteen murdered were wonderful in Torah and acts of kindness, and their terrible sacrifice will strengthen us even more in this, both against enemies at home and against enemies abroad. Precisely now, when the world of Torah is constantly attacked by Jews with the torch of hatred in their throats, now is the time to understand that we have no one to lean on but our Father in Heaven. If anyone ever fantasizes about some broken cane support, they should wake up and sober up quickly: There's not much the Israeli government can do except get angry and inflate observation balloons. It's a fact. The Rudy Giuliani formula from New York won't work here. The world is against us, and even if we succeed against some of the Arabs by force of arms, God forbid - the other part will send us a hot ISIS. It is likely that the proposal regarding a security guard in every synagogue will fade away very quickly, when Lapid will make it clear to everyone that there is no budget for parasites, and in general, in his opinion, the families of the young men should starve to death, and why protect these condemned people at all. In the 'Jewish House', they will decide to redirect the budget for security guards to the synagogues in the settlements, of course, in addition to the existing security guards near every fresh caravan (Eli Ben Dahan has long been looking for a solution to the 'summons' problem in the isolated settlements, now there will be three!). Lieberman will simply say that security guards are expensive, and Piron will send them to north Tel Aviv to the Reform synagogue, so that God forbid they will not repent while staying next to the correct midrash, the source of Jewish eternity. No longer submissive But here is the place for another comment, speaking of acts of kindness. Maimonides mentions that the first virtue in acts of kindness is to engage our Jewish brothers in work that will provide them with dignity. According to Maimonides, this is a more sublime and honorable charity than giving in secret or any other charity because in this way our brother will provide for himself with the labor of his hands with dignity and genius. Unfortunately, instead of fulfilling this, we often prefer the cheap, homeless Ahmed, so to speak. This is how we can see in large supermarkets, in grocery stores, in renovations and, in fact, wherever else, more and more Arabs. They do not walk around submissively and side-tracked as in the past. On the contrary, this is a young and confident generation that expects us to frantically look left and right in great fear. They have no problem being arrogant, getting angry and harassing each other. Not all of them, we will not generalize, there are also decent people. But it is happening more and more, and it is dangerous. I will never forget the moment on an Arab night when a 'respectable' bus driver contemptuously threw me off the bus in a hostile and unfamiliar area, and only because I made a mistake in choosing the right stop. "You Haredim are zeros," he taunted, he must have been a die-hard Yesh Atid fan. The zeros stuck with him, he must have remembered something about Haredim and "a nation of zeros." All these young people of the new generation are dangerous to us. They are ticking time bombs among us, while we innocently support them. All the smiles and hypocrisy with the consciousness of excellent service are destined to disappear in one moment of dangerous crisis. Here is one of the terrorists who carried out the murderous attack yesterday, working in the grocery store next to the "Bnei Torah" synagogue where the massacre took place. There is no room here to elaborate, but their spiritual damage is seven times greater, as is well known. Sometimes they are in the form of educated, clean and tidy people, and sometimes they also look remarkably similar in appearance to their Jewish cousins, while under this cover they do not shy away from any problem of modesty or any abomination that comes to mind. Oh, how great the pain is for the girls and homes that have fallen and been destroyed in the network of these damned for generations. Especially when we are in the age of nano-cellular monsters, when they can communicate and seduce as much as possible on their iPhones and iPads, and the employer, preoccupied with his work, does not put his heart there even if he wants to. Oh, how much terrible sorrow has already been caused by these people. And these things are unfortunately well known. See the entry Mahmoud and Morale. By the way, today its morale is no longer in the sky. This is the time to take action, God forbid, not with unnecessary rancor and hatred. As I recall, we are still in exile, but whoever can subtly evade the employment of such people, and especially if he can choose his Jewish brothers, should understand that it is worth the financial damage. And this is our duty at this time. Blood and tears, holiness and purity have no price. If we all behave this way, perhaps they, for their part, will also understand that their terrible behavior has a painful price. By the way, before you send your child to the grocery store next door, where there is a cheerful and fragrant suicidal employee, think about it, be aware that there is also a grocery store across the street, where the one who arranges the shelves at night is a poor old man whose last bread was taken by a torch and a firecracker. And this is no longer a luxury, it is a danger to life.
