Parshat Nitzavim . . . As We Stand Upright Before G–D

Parshat Nitzavim
On Rosh Hashanah All Jews Will Stand Erect Before the King of Kings

You stand upright this day, all of you, before the L-rd your G-d: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, and all the men of Israel; your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water (Deuteronomy 29:9-10)

Our sages have said: "All Israel are guarantors for each other" (Talmud, Shevuot 39a). But a person cannot serve as a guarantor unless he is more resourceful in some way than the one he is guaranteeing. For example, a poor man obviously would not be accepted as a guarantor for a rich man's loan. So if the Talmud says that all Jews serve as guarantors to each other, this means that in every Jew there is a quality in which he or she is superior to all others.
(The Lubavitcher Rebbe)



THE PROOF THAT OUR TEFILLOS ARE NOT IN VAIN
Roy S. Neuberger

“Shir hamalos … When Hashem will return the captivity of Tzion, we will be like dreamers.” (Tehillim 126)

One of our biggest problems during Aseres Ymai Teshuva may be that we have trouble believing Hashem will grant us complete victory. We have trouble believing that our troubles can really become blessings, that our weaknesses can become strengths, that Golus will become Geula

If we would stop and think, we would realize that Hashem gives us a hint of redemption every week, a hint that victory is not a dream. That hint is called Shabbos. Every week, Shabbos comes to rescue us, to draw us out of the depths, and this clearly demonstrates how easily there could come a Shabbos of Shabboses which will draw us out of the depths forever. Chazal teaches us, “Those who delight in [Shabbos] will inherit eternal honor; those who savor it will merit life.” (Shabbos Mussaf)

During the week, before bentching, we say, “Al naharos Bavel … By the rivers of Babylon … there we sat and also wept when we remembered Tzion. On the willows … we hung our lyres… How can we sing the song of Hashem upon the alien’s soil?” (Tehillim 137) Now that we are sitting in Golus, can we imagine we will ever return to our glory? It seems like just a dream! But on Shabbos Kodesh, suddenly the dream becomes reality! “Then our mouth will be filled with laughter and our tongue with glad song!” (Tehillim 126)

This is the proof, my friends. This is the proof that one day, just as Shabbos comes every week, so, in the Seventh Millennium, will the Shabbos of Shabboses come to the world, the Shabbos that never ends. As we say in bentching, “May He cause us to inherit the day which will be completely a Shabbos and rest day for eternal life.”

As we enter the Aseres Ymai Teshuva, we must know that the Redemption will come and that we can be part of it. If we know that, then we will daven with the hope that will enable us to be victorious in judgment, as we say at this season, “Ka’ve el Hashem … Hope to Hashem, strengthen yourself and He will give you courage, and hope to Hashem.”  (Tehillim 27)

In Mitzraim, the paradigm of all Exiles, four-fifths of Am Yisroel never made it out with Moshe Rabbeinu. (Rashi to Shemos 13:18; 10:22) The same danger faces us today. We cannot allow the hopelessness of the surrounding culture to destroy our certainty that Hashem will rescue us, just as He rescued our ancestors in Mitzraim

This certainty is unique to us! “You did not give it to … the [other] nations ... [to the] worshippers of idols… [But] to Israel, Your people, you have given it in love….” (Shabbos Shacharis)

I often feel buried under the weight of Golus. Some days I feel as if it is impossible to lift the weight off my shoulders. The pain is too great; the stress too all-encompassing. Surrounded as we are by enemies and problems, there seems no logical way out of our troubles.

The proof of the Reality of Redemption is that – every week, on Yom Ha Shvii – the power of Shabbos comes to lift the mountain from our heads. The more we permit Shabbos to take over, the more the burdens disappear. Hashem rescues us by sending us the Holy Shabbos, not only to enable us to survive in this Golus, but to prove to us that some day, inexorably, the Shabbos of Shabboses will rescue us forever from the depths of tumah. “Those who tearfully sow will reap in glad song. He who bears the measure of seeds walks along weeping, but will return in exultation, a bearer of his sheaves.” (Tehillim 126)

As we stand before Hashem during Aseres Ymai Teshuva, I believe that it is essential to keep before our eyes the certainty of the Redemption, the realization that our tefillos are not in vain, the assurance that, just as Shabbos comes every week, just as certainly we will see the day of our eternal Salvation. 

Our daughter once told me a droshe on Shir Hamalos. What does it mean that “we will be like dreamers?” We all have dreams. People like to dream about “getting away from it all” in some tropical paradise. Usually, something comes along to spoil the dream, like airport delays, a dilapidated hotel, an upset stomach, an accident, rainy weather … and the “dream” fades away. 

But – lehavdil – “when Hashem will return the captivity of Tzion,” … then reality will be just like the dream! Then we will indeed be like dreamers! Our imperfect dreams do not give satisfaction, but if we dream the dream of Hashem, if we desire that which He desires, then our dreams will come true and we will live in the perfect world of our dreams. “Then they will declare among the nations, ‘Hashem has done greatly with them.’” (ibid)

Yes, my friends, there will come a day when we will say, “He has dressed me in the raiment of salvation, in a robe of righteousness … like a bridegroom who dons priestly glory, like a bride who bedecks herself in her jewelry. For as the earth brings forth her growth, and as a garden causes its sowings to grow, so shall my Lord Hashem … cause righteousness and praise to grow in the face of all the nations…. In all their troubles, He was troubled, and an angel from before Him saved them. With His love and His compassion He redeemed them. He lifted them and bore them all the days of the world.” (Haftaras Nitzavim) May we see it in our days!

K’siva v’chassima tova!

Honey Almond Cake – Gluten Free Lekach

GF Flourless Honey-Almond Cake
(inspired by this scrumptious cake)




2 cups almond flour
1/4 tapioca flour
4 large eggs room temp, separated
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

 
Preheat oven to 350°F
Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
[me: I used a 9 inch round glass pyrex cake pan] 
Line the bottom with parchment paper and oil a little.

Beat 4 egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer (or use a paddle attachment on a stand mixer) on medium speed until well combined.
Add almond flour mixture.

Beat 4 egg whites in another large bowl with the electric mixer until very foamy, white and doubled in volume. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture until just combined. Scrape the batter into prepared pan.

Bake the cake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 28 minutes (all ovens and localities differ, so continue checking for doneness. do not overbake.)

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

If using springform pan:
Run a knife around the edge of the pan and gently remove the side ring. Let cool completely. If desired, remove the cake from the pan bottom by gently sliding a large, wide spatula between the cake and the parchment paper. Carefully transfer the cake to a serving platter. To serve, drizzle the top of the cake with honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Note:
Eggs must be at room temperature for the proteins to unwind enough to support the cake's crumb. If you overbeat the whites the cake will fall as it cools

[me: I leave the cake in the glass pyrex and serve from there. I’m not so fancy.]


A Happy Shana Tova to One and All

The PiecesMaker

How Perski Became Peres

[...] When Peres was still called Shimon Perski, Ben-Gurion went with him on a surveying trip in the Negev. Perski discovered the nest of the rare and spectacular bearded vulture, which is called peres in the Torah, and he promptly decided to change his European name to the Hebrew Peres.

I asked the President if he knew why the bearded vulture is called peres. He suggested that it is from the phrase lifros kenafayim, to spread the wings, referring to its huge wingspan. However, that is spelled with a sin rather than a samech. I informed him of another suggestion that has been put forward by Biblical commentators: that it is from the root meaning "piece."

The bearded vulture is famed for making pieces. It eats bones, which it does via picking them up, flying high over rocks, and then dropping them and smashing them to pieces, as you can see in this video:

Enthralling Scenes of Nibiru System’s Effects on Our Atmosphere

I AM ENTHRALLED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE CREATIONS OF HASHEM, THE MAJESTY DISPLAYED IN BREATHTAKING SCENERY. ISNT THIS AWE INSPIRING? DO YOU SENSE THE DISPLAY OF POWER? AND AT THE SAME TIME RACHAMIM (EMPATHY) ON G–D’s CREATURES? I AM ENTHRALLED, SO SHOULD YOU BE.

Prophecy in Our Days is Given to Children and the Mentally Challenged – Part II

She said half the Jews would die as well as many of the non-Jews.

She told me what the angels look like (glowing bright skin and dressed in white with lots and lots of wings) as well as how she saw Hashem (a bright light that talked to her.) She said all of us will have wings in the future and will be able to transport ourselves super quick, except Moshiach, Eliyahu and Moshe didn't need them. (This is talked about for the 1000 year period after Moshiach's time where Hashem will remake the earth and we'll fly over it.) She said our spaceship was so huge that the Beit Hamikdash was inside it attached by a rope and when we landed back on Earth, in Jerusalem, we lowered it back onto the space right next to the Arab's mosque above the kotel.

She tells me all this as fact and says even though these are her dreams, they will come true like this. She said all the Jews were in Jerusalem and the non-Jews were told by Hashem to go back to their lands and build again so they were very busy.

In describing the Beit Hamikdash to me she said everyone fit inside at the same time no matter how many people went in. She said a lot of non Jews were there because they believed in Hashem. She said no one sinned anymore and we all lived happily. She said a huge round rainbow formed in the sky and protected us.

She said she felt a little older in the dream but not much meaning this will happen soon. Other times she told me she was a young woman in the dream, around 20. She said we all got new names. Another time she said I was a black woman but she still knew me as Ima without a doubt and I'm wondering if she saw me as previous reincarnation. She told me that my friend was there too but looked totally different and she could tell right away that she was my friend which showed me how transparent souls would be later and how everything would be truth. She said by resurrection of the dead, I was already a grandmother which makes sense as I read it will probably take 40 years to get to that point. She at first said we were in the spaceship 150 days but then said it wasn't that long. Remember she is 5 so I doubt she even knows what 150 really is besides a big number to her.

So, I wrote this exactly how she told it to me after the initial dream. I added nothing and didn't steer her anywhere. It was 100% real for her and she can answer any question I ask her. It took her hours for her to tell me all of this. Some is her imagination or interpretation of things she doesn't comprehend yet, but most of it has roots in prophesy that is in the Torah, Kabbalah, Talmud, etc.

I have no doubt that this is a message straight from Hashem of times coming soon. For us to reprioritize and do a personal accounting of our lives and do teshuva. Most of the things she told me I am sure she never learned anywhere, she just acquired the knowledge in her dreams. Prophesy in our days is given to children and mentally challenged adults.

Here are some later dreams in the same theme:

She told me today that while they were in the sky in the spaceship, she could see the world being covered totally by water which happened very quickly and then just as quickly, everything extra receded and they could land back in Eretz Yisrael again. I asked what happened to the people that were still on Earth and she said they died. Basically, everyone who Hashem was saving was picked up and taken on the ship. I wonder if Hashem's promise never to flood the entire Earth again is fulfilled if many good people are removed first.

(Now, I learned that after techiyat hameitim, before olam haba, Hashem will flood the whole world and tzaddikim will fly above the waters for 1000 years while Hashem remakes the world to be how it was the first day when adam harishon was in gan eden. I think her spaceship can or can not be real prophesy. It may be a symbol of how Hashem will protect us or it may be his melachim ushering us around until the ground is safe.)

She also told me a few nights she had bad dreams and wouldn't tell me about those. That scares me a bit. Everything in her dreams isn't necessarily nevuah. I just know some of it is Torah that she was never taught on this world. Later on she drew me a picture of the spaceship that when it lands on something hard has huge thick balloons attached to the bottom so that it can land softly. Some of the logic she told me if it is from her imagination is way advanced for a 5 year old's logic. Imagine a 5 yr old not afraid of dead bodies around! I think I looked horrified when she told me that so I could see how quickly she comforted me, "Don't worry, Ima, Hashem will bring them back to life. It will all be OK." Nothing in that dream scared her which also reminds me of the calmness I heard we will have to be assured everything is okay.

27/6/16 She told me that she dreamed last night that we all lived in a big castle and was like a princess and her parents (us, but we had lots and lots of other kids by now) were king and queen but not like Hashem who is the King of Kings (sounds like the prophesy of Hashem giving worlds to govern to each tzaddik in the future.)

I asked her if we lived in Yerushalim or not and she said our castle was on our yishuv but travelling to Yerushalim just took a moment of concentration. Everyone looked like we do now but everyone had wings. We each had our favorite colored wings. She had pink, of course.

This morning, she told me that she had dreamed a lot of these dreams before but only now told me them. I asked her why she didn't tell me before and she said she couldn't. (Either wasn't allowed to or she couldn't.


28/6/16 She dreamed we were in the ship and outside the bathroom was a megillat esther (interesting that she said that as Purim will be one remaining holiday when most of the others won't be but she doesn't know that) on the wall instead of asher yatzar. There was no toilet paper but only flowers that you used instead.

30/6/16 She dreamed we were in the spaceship again and this time we went under water a bit (it is also like a submarine) in order to get some treasure that was there. The angels went out to get it while everyone stayed in and watched from the windows. There was a gold chest there and it was bright because of all the treasure. (I just learned that when Moshiach comes, he will go to the coast at Tel Aviv/Yafo where all the ocean's treasure will be resurfaced and he will give it out to the righteous.)

1/7/16 She dreamed all wild and dangerous animals were now safe and we could pet them. We could swim with sharks and play with tigers. (I learned all animals will become vegetarians and won't harm other animals or humans.) She said we never needed bathrooms again after Moshiach came. Only in the spaceship did we need it and then we didn't anymore. She said that was because all the food we ate was perfectly used up in our bodies and there was nothing extra. (Just like the mann in the desert and I did learn we will never get sick/die again.) She also said that all treats and unhealthy food that we have now is no longer unhealthy and we could eat as much as we wanted from it and we would never get a tummy ache.

Then she dreamed she was able to see a huge round rainbow in the sky that covered everyone and even rain couldn't get through. She said it covered the whole horizon. She said all of the animals had kings who governed them and the oldest male shark was the king of the sea.

3/7/16 She said there was a long tube slide that we went down from the ship in order to get to Yerushalim. People with carriages went down a ramp kind of slide.

26/8/16 She dreamed that the beit hamikdash came down from shamayim right on top of the golden dome and squished it. The Arabs were swallowed up by the ground opening up and boiling water came up from below and killed them all and they screamed, "It's boiling! It's boiling!" She said she didn't see this but was told. She said she thinks moshiach will arrive on a Monday. She said I got skinny after moshiach came (Here's to that!)

9/9/16 She dreamed that she was up in the spaceship with me and Moshiach was travelling to another planet that had the beit Hamikdash in it. I asked her how it got there and she looked at me kind of annoyed with the rediculousness of my question and said that Hashem put it there and now it was ready to be brought down to Earth (as if everybody knew that!). They had to use a large rope and tie it to the ship so it would float down.

Prophecy in Our Days is Given to Children and Mentally Challenged Adults – Part I of II

Prophesy in our days is given to children and mentally challenged adults

24/6/16 My daughter told me she finally remembered a dream after previously never being able to tell me what she dreamed when she woke up. I asked her many mornings if she remembers without ever prompting because she is so spiritual and the women in our family have had prophetic dreams before. I waited for this dream for a long time, somehow I knew it was coming now!

Since that first dream, many nights after, she tells me more things she dreamed in the same theme. The second night, she dreamed the same exact dream again and she was still dreaming as she woke up which are two signs according to Rabbi .......... (I emailed him back and forth) that they are dreams that will come true and soon! She has many dreams but doesn't like telling me the bad ones so these are the good ones.

She told me that her friends and their parents and all of the Jews in Israel were all on a spaceship together for a ride around planet Earth. (I have learned any UFO we may see belongs to the many kinds of angels or negative forces that are in the world and they are real.)

She said Hashem told us to go up there with the angels to be safe from things that were happening below. Mashiach, Eliyahu Hanavi and Moshe Rabeinu were there to teach us Torah. They were very holy, had glowing skin and no one could touch them. The ship hovered for a while over Earth and saw all of the lands, then went into outer space where they visited another planet that was very cold.

She gave me many, many details of the size of the rooms, the food, the games, (trampoline for exercise) the sleeping arrangements, the way to enter and exit the ship and even what kind of Torah they learned (mostly having to do with the Beit Hamikdash but she said she learned everything!) Then she said we landed safely in Yerushalim when the world wasn't red anymore.

This description sounded to me like a nuclear blast or volcanic lava, neither of which she could describe anyway as more than "red."

She said at one point, Moshiach opened the mountain in Jerusalem and all of the Jews ran in to hide from bad people who came to kill them. Moshiach stayed to fight them for us. We were safe in the caves below.

The Beit Hamikdash was huge and golden with colored precious stones (I read it will be sapphire like the ten commandments were although she didn't specify blue) and went up to the height of the Heavens. She said the doors were very tall but it fit her perfectly because she was different than everyone as she had grown up and was very tall, a giantess, and her skin was filled with light. She said she had to bend down very much in order to kiss me but later on told me that was only on the spaceship, later she reverted to regular size. She said Hashem spoke to them all and invited them into the Beit Hamikdash. She said she saw Hashem, He looked just like light but she could hear His voice. She said she started cleaning up the mess that the Arabs left around the Beit Hamikdash. Everyone said to her that she shouldn't bother, that Hashem would make sure it was all cleaned up but she said she wanted to do it to help and honor Hashem and she enjoyed it very much.  She saw the kohanim dressed in white.  She saw angels too all in white, with wings and glowing. She said we didn't have anyone who wanted to hurt us anymore, that Hashem made the evil ones disappear and the rest of the goyim were very busy. They were building buildings and pyramids in their countries because Hashem told them to. She said all the Jews that were here in the land already were in Israel now rebuilding the city which had grown very big. Her grandparents and family in the States weren't here yet as it wasn't yet their turn to come. They were waiting. (She said this very emphatically although later she says my husband goes and gets them!)

She told me how resurrection of the dead will happen. She said Moshiach or melachim (I can't remember what she said and she doesn't remember all of the details now) would touch the body or bones and it would regrow from a little tiny size to full adult size with nice clothes on it. She said she wasn't afraid of all the dead bodies she saw around because Hashem was going to bring them back to life soon. We met her grandmother who she was named after as well as the baby I lost 15 years ago who was grown up now.

She said half the Jews would die as well as many of the non-Jews.

EXTREMELY INTERESTING – About the Plasma Effect Around Nibiru plus . . .

An Extremely Interesting Video 
WSO Sept 23 - Special Guest Jeff Shows Us NIBIRU
There are many videos and photos purporting to be Nibiru, but we will not know for sure until Hashem reveals the wonders spoken and prophesied about. Nevertheless, we Jews have a very curious nature. Especially now, before Rosh Hashanah we need to keep in mind that the King of the Universes and All Matter and Non Matter belong to Hashem, and He is in complete control. When we enter this special time of our Yom Tovim please keep in mind (thoughts) and heart (feelings) that we owe all living matter and life itself to the Ultimate Creator and we should be extremely grateful that All This is for the benefit of Am Yisrael (as it was in Mitzrayim, the first redemption, so shall it be in our Geula, the last redemption)




This Jeff is one smart guy 
(my estimation is that Jeff might be Jewish) 

In some of his discussion, he says “ Sound and light heard and seen only at the focul point (which reminded me of "Saw the sound and heard the sight at MOUNT SINAIAnd they can converge it onto a person . . . .

Space Physics (Wikipedia)

Space physics is the study of PLASMAS as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere. As such, it encompasses a far-ranging number of topics, such as heliophysics which includes the solar physics of the sun: the solar wind, planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres, auroras, cosmic rays, and synchrotron radiation. Space physics is a fundamental part of the study of space weather and has important implications not only to understanding the universe, but also to practical everyday life, including the operation of communications and weather satellites. Space physics is distinct from other fields of astrophysics which study similar phenomena, in that space physics utilizes in situ measurements from high altitude rockets and spacecraft.
