We Are in The Last Days of This World . . .

“See,” says Moses to the people of Israel, “I place before you today a blessing and a curse”—the blessing that will come when they fulfill G‑d’s commandments, and the curse if they abandon them.  (Deuteronomy 11:26, Parshas Re’eh)

Freedom of choice has been granted to every man: if he desires to turn toward a good path and be righteous, the ability to do so is in his hands; and if he desires to turn toward an evil path and be wicked, the ability to do so is in his hands . . .

We are in the last days of this world as we know it, and permit me to say, there should be no “vacation” from our duty to bring Mashiach.

• We bring him by doubling-down on Torah study and gemilus hasodim, acts of chessed and charity.
• It is no longer life as “usual”, because the usual is “unusual”.
• Doing the usual leaves one a target for sakona, accident or death.
• One must be blinded to not see what is happening.
• Children need to be told serious things, and they will accept them, in some cases better than the adults.

This is serious business. Antisemitism is rampant, education of Jewish children is being threatened with learning secular ways or get arrested. No joke. Not teaching them secular studies brands children as truants, and lands parents in jail — so threatens NYS Ed Dept! At the same time children (girls) are being denied entrance to Jewish schools!

Israeli (Haifa) court blocks concert featuring Mordechai Ben David
Court [cowardly] bars men-only Haredi concert in Haifa which was set to feature Mordechai Ben David, Motty Steinmetz [cowardly, hours before event]. Anti-Religious, anti-Jewish, anti-semitic Haifa Court ruling. Yes, its anti-semitic, because Wikipedia meanings: 2 : of, relating to, or characteristic of the Semites. 3 : jewish

Israel’s Attorney General, Avichai Mandelblit, [cowardly] offered an opinion to the court in support of the IWN petition, arguing that the City of Haifa had failed to justify its support for a show catering to men only:  [hypocritical: truly a state of all its citizens (sic!)]

United Torah Judaism MK Uri Maklev lambasted the ruling, calling it proof that Israel's Haredi community was being "persecuted”. "The Haredi community is being persecuted by various parties and organizations,” . . .

"Today, the court gave legitimacy to these hate-groups. The hypocrisy is just unbelievable of these people who say 'Live and let live' while highhandedly and arrogantly intervening in the public life of the Haredi community to the point where they don't allow [interfere in] the Haredi community to follow its beliefs and way of life."
