Commenter translation:
Thank you so much, dear Moonlight Watcher, for this detailed translation of Motty’s story about the glorious Vizhnitz Rebbe, his unbending thirst for education, coming in touch once and once again with the text of Torah (even more while rewriting it).
And the great song “Emmes Toiroirseinu”, which may me listened non-stop, is permeated with Motty’s healing energy, when listeners understand, that only kindness is true, material and existing, while vanity fades away like shades.

Zionism Countering the Chassidim
one needs to see 馃憖beyond the hype:
There is room for both perspectives. But what BOTH need to understand, BOTH ARE FIGHTING FOR THE same HEALTH OF ISRAEL AND AM YISRAEL, and should not be fighting EACH OTHER!
Once the Government of Israel realizes this, the war is over! The war between both! And this should move them to SUPPORT BOTH, financially and verbally and make it newsworthy!
The Erev Rav TACTIC is to "divide and conquer" but they are losing the battle! The "Generals" need a "crisis of purpose" to loosen/abandon their non-Jewish training and perspectives. Let them vacate their positions and allow the brave hearted truly Jewish warriors take over with allegiance to HKB"H and not Trump!

Hi,
In case you didn't see the news in the last few minutes, we are writing to you as sirens are sounding across northern Israel.
In the last few minutes, Iran launched a new wave of rockets toward the North, where one of our Meir Panim branches is located, along with hundreds of thousands of families and many IDF soldiers protecting Israel’s northern border.
Please stop and pray for Israel.
Pray for the families running to shelters.
Pray for the IDF soldiers standing guard.
Pray for the elderly, the poor, and the vulnerable who are afraid, alone, or without the resources to get through another emergency.
Our team is still here.
Even now, Meir Panim is working to provide hot meals, food boxes, and practical help to Israelis who need us most.
And please give what you can so we can keep helping.
Donate here: meirpanim.org
With hope and strength,
The Meir Panim Team

Phew that was really close! I lower the ringer over nite and hide it in the other room, not to be disturbed. But there was a “Extreme Alert” message. What was that? ‼️ I slept thru the one overnite! Now reality has told me!
Now another ‼️ alarm!

HaRav Moshe Sternbuch Shlit"a – 驻专砖转 砖诇讞 转砖驻"讜
Country of extremes
“And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature (anshei midos)” (13:32)
Targum Yonasan translates anshei midos as men with bad character traits. Eretz Yisroel is a country of extremes. The righteous who live there acquire the greatest degree of righteousness and sanctity, whereas evil and tumah are more prominent there than anywhere else. For this reason, the seven nations living in Eretz Yisroel at the time were the most sinful and depraved, and the meraglim in this pasuk are saying that the people they encountered had terrible character traits, and the B’nei Yisroel would have great difficulty living among them.
Unfortunately, in our day too, anti-religious elements amongst our wayward brethren are prevalent in Eretz Yisroel. This is due to the powers of tumah in this country, and our task is to utilize the corresponding powers of kedushah, which are simultaneously part and parcel of its very atmosphere in all periods, to negate the influence of the powers of tumah.
to’eiva parade
This is the time of year that a to’eiva parade takes place in Yerushalayim, and this year they are hosting “the Middle East's largest ever festival” to celebrate their pride at their to’eiva at the Dead Sea. The following are excerpts from Rav Sternbuch’s speeches at gatherings protesting the parades in Yerushalayim 15 and 17 years ago.
It is a fundamental principle that when the Divine name is being publicly desecrated, we are obligated to protest. If we do not protest, we are held accountable for the sins of our coreligionists, since all Jews are responsible for each other. (Thus, Rav Moshe Schneider suggested in the middle of the Holocaust that righteous people were being killed because they had not sufficiently protested the iniquities of the wicked). On the other hand, if we do protest the desecration of Hashem’s name and the sanctity of His country and of Yerushalayim, Ir Hakodseh, we silence the prosecutors in Heaven.
Some say that one should not talk about these matters, but we have a tradition that nothing harmful can result from performing a mitzvah (in this case the mitzvah of protesting for Hashem’s honor), only good. In fact, protesting only serves to protect us. Others say that we are a small, insignificant group. However, the tribe of Levi was also the smallest in number, and a small amount of light dispels a lot of darkness.
Yet others argue that this issue is no concern of ours, and we should rather be concentrating on our own Avodas Hashem and that of our children, but they are terribly mistaken. The public actions of these sinners in the Palace of the King create vast quantities of tumah, and if we simply ignore them, they will affect our thought, speech and actions, whether we like it or not. After all, the immoral actions of the Dor HaMabul affected even the behaviour of animals. By protesting their actions with dedication, we have the ability to not only counter the tumah created by their actions, but even to reduce the power of tumah in the world as a whole. After the righteous convert Potocki was burnt at the stake sanctifying the Divine name, the Vilna Gaon said that one could feel how the powers of tumah in our world no longer possess the same potency which they possessed before his act of mesirus nefesh (Ed.: for possible halachic ramifications of this, see Teshuvos Vehanhogos V: 256 and Ishei Yisroel, Ch. 2, end of footnote 17).
The Satan has a special interest in tumah increasing in Yerushalayim. Hashem is waiting to see how we react. We are obligated to participate in the sorrow of the Shechinah and to dissociate ourselves from these sinners who publicly and proudly make a mockery of Hashem and His Torah.
These sinners’ behaviour is utterly Amalekite. Amalek obtains its power when our Torah learning becomes attenuated; not when we do not learn, but when we do not learn with sufficient intensity and enthusiasm. We should therefore be concentrating on the quality and quantity of our Torah learning. In addition, we should also be focussing on issues of modesty, such as long wigs, which pollute Yerushalayim and Eretz Yisroel.
People are worried about Iran and atom bombs (Ed.: Rav Sternbuch is saying this already back in 2010), but what we should really be worried about is Hashem’s anger and His potential removal of the Shechinah, so that it will not protect us chas vesholom.
We possess the power of speech, the power to pray and to protest. We are all agents of the Jewish nation. May Hashem hearken to the rabbanim and all the people gathered here, and not hold the nation responsible for the sins of those who seek to contaminate themselves, the entire nation, and everything holy, and may we welcome Moshiach easily and speedily.
Postscript: Before the outbreak of the Gaza War, Rav Sternbuch warned about the possible dire consequences of our failure to sufficiently protest the actions of anti-religious militant elements, and after the outbreak of the war he could be heard beseeching the Creator not to listen to the accusations of the Satan, who argues that the whole nation should not be held responsible for the actions of a small minority: see Part I, Chapter 1 of “War and Redemption”. If we do our bit by protesting what needs to be protested, for example the feverish attempts to recruit Yeshiva students to the army, the Satan’s claims will have no ground to stand on.

Hiking the HolyLand – Einot Petzael Nature Reserve
Einot Petzael: A Hidden Oasis in the Jordan Valley
Hiking Through Israel, Judea and Samaria, Pretty Places, Water Hikes
If there’s anything that draws crowds outdoors in summertime, it’s water hikes. In Israel, there’s nothing quite like plunging into a cold pool of clear spring water on a hot day. Bonus points for a waterfall. Even more bonus points if the whole thing is surrounded by exotic and beautiful scenery.
That’s why this week’s trip to Einot Petzael was such an incredible discovery.
Einot Petzael are cool spring pools that are part of the Nahal Petzael Nature Reserve, run by the Parks Authority. This incredible oasis is not only blissfully refreshing — it sits in the middle of a gorgeous reserve filled with birds, gazelle, frogs, rock hyrax, butterflies, dragonflies, and even cute little crabs.
In winter and spring, the area is known for its wildflowers. A trip to the reserve at that time of year should definitely include a long hike through the streambed, where greenery and flowers blossom in abundance.
But in summertime, the most fabulous thing about these pools is that you can drive right up to them
There are deep pools, wading pools, waterfalls, hidden pools, and more.
Here’s how we journeyed through the Nahal Petzael Nature Reserve this week — and discovered a place we’ll definitely be returning to.
It’s a National Park
Over the past several years, the Parks Authority has been quietly making massive changes to natural spaces in Judea and Samaria. Many of these sites had long been neglected, often littered with trash and just generally not the most pleasant to visit.
That’s all started to change — and Einot Petzael is one example on the ground of what it looks like when nature is cared for.
We drove up to the site and went through a gate marked with a Parks Authority sign. As we drove through golden fields with a ridge of green snaking through, there were no chip bags, soda cans, or picnic leftovers in sight. Instead, we were greeted by galloping gazelle, completely comfortable running through the wild grain and up the hills.
There were packs of them, all happily sustaining themselves on the fresh water that runs through the reserve. Watching them out the window, it felt like we were on some sort of safari.
Soon, we reached the main area of the pools, where organized garbage cans, fire pits, and picnic benches marked the fact that the Parks Authority had taken charge.
A Place with a Long History
The pools at Einot Petzael aren’t just a refreshing summer stop. They sit on top of layers of history that go back thousands of years.
Archaeological surveys have found settlements in this area dating back about 6,000 years. The lower part of the stream valley has been identified with biblical Ataroth, mentioned in the Book of Joshua as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Ephraim.
The most famous chapter is the Second Temple period. About 2,100 years ago, King Herod built a town here and named it after his older brother Phasael, who took his own life rather than be handed over to his enemies during the Parthian invasion of 40 BCE. The town was called Phasaelis, and that name has been preserved all the way to today — in the springs, the stream, and the modern Moshav Petzael nearby.
Herod built an aqueduct from these springs to carry water about six kilometers down to his town, and the remains of his huge storage reservoir can still be seen near the moshav. An old flour mill that operated on the aqueduct water is also still standing along the stream — a reminder that this water has been put to use by every group that has lived here.
To the Pools
We could hear water flowing as we stepped out of the car. It was a hot day, and we were eager to get down and see the pools we had heard so much about.
We walked down the rocky hillside into an incredible oasis.
One large pool was surrounded by fragrant wild mint, purple flowers, and flitting dragonflies. There was a shady spot in the distance, so we walked over to drop our bags. Then we jumped in.
The water was magnificently cold and refreshing. We made our way towards a waterfall at the edge of the pool and enjoyed the cool spray on our faces.
It wasn’t too deep — only about neck-high at the deepest point — perfect for swimming with kids.
Exploring
From the first pools, we decided to continue on to the edge of the reserve. We wanted to see for ourselves where the trail running through Nahal Petzael began. We followed the path, passing hidden pools and thick greenery. Eventually, we found ourselves at the source of the spring, where shallow wading pools sit under massive shade trees next to little picnic benches.
A few young families were enjoying these spots. One man sat playing guitar while his children splashed in the water.
From there, we continued past where the water ran (at least at this time of year) and towards the blue trail. We followed the well-marked path for a little while, until we hit the canyon.
Our plans for the day didn’t include a long hike through Nahal Petzael — we were saving that for wintertime, when the wildflowers and greenery would make the hike even more beautiful. So instead, we backtracked until we reached a small hidden pool.
Down we Go
We climbed down towards the pool, an enchanting oasis tucked away from everyone else by rocks and greenery.
It was simply incredible down there. A cool waterfall rushed in, drowning out everything around us. Dragonflies flitted from one branch of greenery to another, and birds chirped above. One small rock protruded from the middle of the pool — a perfect place to perch in the sun
We spent the rest of our time at the reserve enjoying that hidden pool. And then we climbed back up and out towards the car.
Worth the Trip
As we drove back out through the reserve, past the gazelle in the wild grain and the golden hills falling away towards the Jordan Valley, I thought about how lucky we are to live in a country where you can stumble into a place like this on an ordinary summer afternoon.
If you’re looking for a real summertime adventure that doesn’t require a long hike, the Nahal Petzael Nature Reserve is one of the best places I’ve found all year. Pack your bathing suit, a picnic, and plenty of water. Get there early to beat the heat. And don’t be surprised if a few gazelle greet you on the way in.
We’ll definitely be back.
