…… THE WAR HAS BEGUN
20 November 2025
Reb Neuberger: I Believe That The War Has Begun
I BELIEVE THAT THE WAR HAS BEGUN
This is a special message because I believe that we are in an urgent situation.
Clear dangers are affecting all Jewish communities today, and we need to understand and act appropriately. I have stated the following many times, but these passages are so relevant that they deserve repetition.
The Chofetz Chaim predicted three wars before the coming of Moshiach. He referred to the First World War as the first of these wars. Then, before his petira in 1933, he predicted the Second World War, which he said would make the first war look like “child’s play.” Finally, he predicted a third war, which would result in the end of civilization as we know it, followed by the advent of Moshiach ben Dovid.
Rav Dessler zt”l wrote: “The destruction of Edom will only come through the destruction of this world [as we know it]. Hakadosh Baruch Hu will cause the very foundations of life on earth to collapse. Tranquility will be disrupted, personal lives will be filled with worry, fear and yissurim and the entire world will cower in dread of destruction and devastation. Only then will the light of Moshiach be revealed….” (Michtav M’Eliahu)
Another prediction: “In the end of days, the King of the South will clash with the King of the North, who will storm against the King of the South with chariots, cavalry and many ships. And he will come into many lands, flood them and pass through them.” (Daniel 11:40) Metzudas Dovid comments: “This [passage] refers to the final days of the last exile. The King of the South [Yishmoel] will fight ferociously with Rome [Edom], as if goring him with the horn of a beast. The King of the North [Edom], also known as ‘Rome,’ will fight fiercely against him, with great force and fury, like a windstorm. He will have many great ships, and in them men of war. The King of the North will come to the land of the King of the South, fight his people and pass through there….” (I saw all these passages in the book, Redemption Unfolding)
I believe we have reached a point in time which indicates a new reality. With the recent New York City elections, something has changed. It has now become “kosher” to hate Jews. A bitter wind is blowing over the entire world. Within Israel, the government is imprisoning yeshiva bocherim for the “crime” of learning Torah.
Under these circumstances, I believe that we are now all in a state of personal danger. Chazal state: if the Jewish People do not teshuva before Moshiach, “[Hashem] will appoint a king over them whose decrees will be as harsh as those of Haman….” (Sanhedrin 97b) If this is the case, urgent measures are required on the part of all who want to take steps to survive.
With humility, I would like to suggest the following.
1) We should all make an extreme effort to show friendship to our brothers, all the Children of Israel. We should search our heart and identify hatred, jealousy or even a wish for a bad thing to happen to another Yid. We should then shine a bright light on these feelings and attempt to cleanse our souls from this poison. At the end of Shemoneh Esreh we say, “May the expressions of my mouth and thoughts of my heart find favor before You, Hashem, my Rock and My Redeemer.” Krias Shema al Hamita begins, “I hereby forgive anyone who angered or antagonized me or who sinned against me….”
2) We should daven in general with great intensity and – I emphasize this – with tears, begging for our lives. Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch Shlita”h said, “davening without tears is not enough!” Mechilla, but I see many people rush through davening and brachas. I wonder how they can possibly understand what they are saying. But we are praying for our life! “Guardian of Israel, protect the remnant of Israel. Do not let Israel be destroyed, those who proclaim ‘Shema Yisroel.’” However, when we cry during davening, it should be audible only to ourselves and Hashem, not to others.
3) We should contemplate the empty, poisonous nature of the foreign culture which surrounds us. We should attempt constantly to distance ourselves from its influence and trust only in Hashem. We have been infected by their obsession with money, entertainment, food – like their ancestor, Esav, who stuffed his mouth with red meat -- pleasure, and technology. The internet now controls the entire structure of worldwide civilization. This is as fragile as a reed and will at some point collapse completely, leaving the world in chaos. Thermonuclear war can occur at any time. We must not fool ourselves into thinking that we are safe. “Ain od milvado … there is nothing but Hashem.”
Having said this, I want to emphasize that the Chofetz Chaim and others have said that, in the Final War – Milchemes Gog Umagog – those with dvaikus to Hashem who separate themselves from the surrounding foreign culture will be saved, unlike in previous wars. We have to cling to this promise. What else is there to cling to?
About thirty minutes before I wrote these words, a package arrived at my home in Israel. The delivery man, from a well-known company, wore a black yarmulka and carried a gun on his belt. I had never seen this person before. He handed over the package, then said, “I love you,” gave me a hug and drove away.
“Mi k’amcha Yisroel, goy echad b’aretz … Who is like Israel, a unique nation in the world!” There is no other nation like this. That is why the other nations hate us, because they are jealous. Hashem will surely save us and bring Moshiach soon. Now it is our turn to do our utmost, so we merit to live in the perfect world which will follow the destruction of evil. “When the wicked bloom like grass and all the evildoers blossom, it is to destroy them forever!” (Tehillim 92)
May we all see that beautiful world soon in our days!

Fox News: Muslim Dearborn mayor weighs in on residents’ complaints about mosque’s call to prayer
Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said its noise levels were ‘not an issue’ despite residents’ complaints at city council meetings
Lindsay Kornick Fox News, November 17, 2025
The city ordinance states that noise in residential areas cannot exceed 55 decibels at night (after 10 p.m.) or 60 decibels during the day (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.). Loudspeakers are prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Hammoud also said that most mosques in the city do not make a call to prayer at “Fajr” or dawn and compared the sound to church bells...
...Dearborn resident Andrea Unger, who has lived in the city for 40 years, told Fox News Digital last month that she had recorded the call to prayer for 30 consecutive days and found it consistently exceeded 70 decibels. She said she raised concerns with the police department and city council for the past two years, but the problem continued...
Esser Agaroth(2¢):
Here in Israel, this is issue had been going on since forever. Either the Jews must suffer from the call to prayer in Yaffo, while the Jews in North Tel-Aviv get to say “not in my neighborhood!” or they pump up the volume next to Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria, as if that’ll force them to move.
Note: It was not clear which mosque was being accused at this Council meeting.

Visit to “Lakefront” by Dozens of Future Residents and Askonim Marks Historic Turning Point in American Chassidic Life
Okeechobee, Fl.—Wednesday of Parashas Chayei Sarah will go down in the annals of American Jewish history as the day in which the heimishe city of Lakefront in Okeechobee, Floriday, has been transformed from a dream and plan into a stunning reality—a turning point in the history of American Jewish life which has thus far been confined to a handful of neighborhoods, and establishing the first Yiddishe city in America to be built entirely from scratch into a sprawling oasis of Jewish life.
This is a phenomenon entirely foreign to our community. Until today. “Lakefront” is being built as a massive “city” specifically designed for upstanding chassidishe families, the most beautiful families in Klal Yisroel, who will be able to raise their children away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and away from the unwanted influences of the big city. At the same time, Lakefront will offer every comfort and amenity—along with a complete Yiddishe infrastructure—necessary for the residents to live serenely and comfortably.
The historic journey to Lakefront began on Wednesday morning, when a plane filled with future residents of Lakefront—along with askonim, developers, architects, planners, Rabbonim, and leaders of the mosdos— touched down in the Palm Beach Airport. The purpose of this visit was provide an opportunity for these stakeholders to get a firsthand glimpse at history in the making, and for them to witness the rise of Lakefront from the ground up.
As soon as the bus turned onto Rambam Boulevard—Lakefront’s main avenue—a hush fell over the visitors as they came face to face with the unbelievable sight of rows and rows of stunning homes which have just been completed. Entire streets—which will soon be filled with the residents and their children—were lined on each side with beautiful and spacious homes.
A dream has been transformed into a true reality.
Throughout their tour of Lakefront, the enthusiasm and the excitement of the visitors grew constantly as they viewed one beautiful area after another. From Rambam Boulevard, they turned onto Rashi Drive, and many other similarly-named streets—entering the beautifully appointed model homes to view the majestic rooms, magnificent spaces, beautiful outdoor gardens complete with palm trees, and strolling along the numerous lakes in the warm and fresh air.
They heard from Rabbonim and leaders of the mosdos about the herculean efforts being invested in establishing the Yiddishe infrastructure upon the purest and holiest of foundations, and the way every area of Yiddishkeit will function on the highest levels of Torah and kedushah.
Mr. David Brecher, a banker who has procured unbelievable mortgage rates and small downpayments for buyers in this project, spoke with residents as well, and explained how these terms will enable families to achieve their dream of buying in Lakefront.
The Sherriff of Glades County likewise took part in this visit, and explained to the residents how residents of Okeechobee look forward to their arrival, and that there’s not a shred of antisemitic sentiment in the entire region. He pledged that he and his department will never tolerate any hateful activity, and do everything to ensure the serenity and the safety of Lakefront’s residents.
Askonim and developers indicated the area where massive buildings will be going up over this winter to house supermarkets, Shuls, schools, yeshivos, and a sprawling shopping plaza. These buildings—along with the 196 homes for residents of the first phase—will be ready in time for the coming academic year following the summer.
In the afternoon, the men gathered at the site of the future Lakefront shul for mincha. Emotions ran high as the group sang in anticipation of the rebuilding of the Beis HaMikdash, which is never far away from our minds. An announcement was made regarding an official groundbreaking for the shul which will take place in the coming months.
As the group prepared to depart the area, the realization set in that they no longer needed to rely on advertisements, pamphlets, or the assurances of the developers—Lakefront is now a reality that they have seen with their own two eyes!
Indeed, word spread like wildfire. Within 24 hours of their return to New York, the Lakefront offices received an astounding 1100(!) messages from families interested in applying to join the development.
Among those displaying interest were inquiries about purchasing homes for vacation or investment. The developers therefore put out a notice stating that during the first two phases, homes will be sold only to those who will be residing in Lakefront on a permanent basis.
About those battery cycles……
I’ve warned about this many times. Not only bikes, vacumns also, and how far does this go into home uses??

Charedi Children…..and Children’s Rights!?
“ Yair Golan said that ‘a sane state doesn’t kill children as a hobby’”
MK Meir Porush spoke on Tuesday in the Knesset plenum, marking the special day for children’s rights—and attacked the violation of the rights of Chareidi children.
“We gathered here today to mark Children’s Rights Day,” Porush said. “The question arises: why is there a need for a special day to mark children’s rights? In my opinion, there is nothing in the world more consensual than children’s rights. Who doesn’t love children? As a father of 12 children, bli ayin hara, I truly wonder why such a day is needed. It seems to me that children’s rights should be self-evident. A child in the home brings light to the home. But it turns out that sometimes even things that are self-evident are not understood by everyone, and sometimes one must fight even for things that should be self-evident in a civilized country.”
“Upon my return to serve as a Knesset member four months ago, I submitted a bill for free education from age zero. This was an election promise, and not only in the last elections, of many politicians from many parties, and although it is so necessary and so consensual, unfortunately they don’t support it now and we’re required to fight for this also.
“This is such a basic matter—not to abandon children aged zero to three to unsupervised daycare centers or family daycares without any regulations or safety guidelines. It is inconceivable that precisely our youngest children do not receive proper care. I very much hope that when the bill comes here to the plenum, it will receive wall-to-wall support. This should be self-evident.”
“In the past year children’s rights were trampled, and they became a plaything in the hands of those who are supposed to be judicial officials and in practice serve as politicians in their war against the Olam HaTorah.
“Attorney Baharav-Miara, who is called the government’s legal adviser, personally declared a war against the Olam HaTorah, against bnei yeshivos and avreichim. An improper and illegitimate struggle in my eyes, for a state under Jewish rule. But within this improper struggle, a red line was crossed, when they decided to use children, babies, as a cruel toy in the campaign of persecution against young avreichim who seek to learn Torah and whose wives seek to support the family with dignity.
“When Yair Golan said that ‘a sane state doesn’t kill children as a hobby,’ I allowed myself, and I hope he won’t sue me for copyright, to borrow that statement, and to say that ‘a sane Attorney General doesn’t starve Chareidi children as a hobby.’ Meanwhile, this is the situation. They starve little children because their father learns Torah. Tell me, have you gone mad?”
“My friend MK Rabbi Yisrael Eichler will soon bring to a vote a bill that seeks to put an end to this cruel conduct that causes families to struggle to put food on the table. I call from here, on this special day marking children’s rights, on all Knesset members to support this bill. This is not a political bill, this is not a Chareidi bill, this is a bill that says the necessary and self-evident thing—a child is a child.”

The Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum, landed in Israel on Monday,
The Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum, landed in Israel on Monday, marking his first visit in nearly five years and his first Shabbat in Meron in a decade. The visit has generated significant excitement across the charedi community, with thousands of chassidim traveling from the U.S. to join the events.
The Rebbe departed the United States on Saturday night, flying via Athens on an Emirates flight where he spent Sunday resting. Yeshiva students in Kiryas Joel held a tzeitchem l’shalom ceremony before his departure, giving him funds designated for the poor in the Land of Israel. Upon landing in Greece, the Rebbe prayed Mincha at the airport together with Rabbi Mendy Hager, son of the Vizhnitz-Monsey Rebbe, who is currently observing the year of mourning for his mother.
https://vinnews.com/2025/11/17/616687/
On Monday afternoon, the Rebbe will arrive in Israel on a private plane and head directly to the Har Nof home of Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, the senior halachic authority of the Eida Chareidis. Security officials have arranged extensive protections surrounding the visit.
The highlight of the trip will be a large Shabbat gathering in Meron on Parashat Toldot, where thousands are expected, including approximately 3,000 chassidim traveling from the United States. Meron has run out of available lodging, prompting organizers to erect additional sleeping and prayer tents. To accommodate English-speaking visitors, local streets have temporarily been renamed with titles from Satmar seforim, including “Yismach Moshe,” “Divrei Yoel,” “Berach Moshe,” and “Lev Aharon.”
The visit has been in planning for months. During his first week in Israel, the Rebbe will remain in Jerusalem, participating in ceremonies connected to the expansion of the large Satmar beit midrash on Yonah Street and other community events. On Wednesday, he will travel to Beit Shemesh for the inauguration of a new Sefer Torah.
On Thursday evening, the Rebbe will travel to Meron for Shabbat, where large tents have been erected at Complex 89 and near the gravesite.
Next week, he will visit Bnei Brak and stay in the local Satmar neighborhood, inaugurate the community’s new girls’ school on Shelah Street, attend additional events, and receive chassidim for blessings and guidance.
Rabbi Teitelbaum is scheduled to return to the United States next Thursday.

Rabbi Weissman: Conclusion to ........the Shidduch World
The Erev Rav Control the Shidduch World — Mega Conclusion
Please share this and hold the snakes accountable
The embedded video is a special program I did over a year ago in which I debunked the age gap theory and took a deeper look at the shady grifters behind NASI. It is also available on Rumble here.
By the way, why hasn’t NASI been credited with this “new” that borrows/steals their ideas, or even acknowledged? This is especially interesting considering that one of their officers, Rabbi Kalman Epstein, is involved, as we will see.
Why has there been total radio silence from NASI? Even their ads have stopped appearing.
Are the grifters at NASI behind this drive, but remaining in the shadows because too many people have a poor opinion of them, and their best chance is to rebrand their failed ideas under a new name?
One of the most well-known sources from Chazal about shidduchim is the Midrash from Bereishis Rabba 68:4 (and many other places). Here is a brief summary:
A Roman matron asked Rabbi Yose bar Chalafta what Hashem has been occupied with since the six days of creation. “He is sitting and making matches,” replied Rabbi Yose.
The matron was not impressed. “I can do that, too. I have many slaves and maidservants; in a short time I can match them.”
“If it is easy in your eyes,” said Rabbi Yose, “it is difficult before Hashem [metaphorically speaking] like the splitting of the sea.”
The matron proceeded to make a row of a thousand slaves and a row of a thousand maidservants, and matched them accordingly. The following morning this one’s head was bashed in, that one’s eye was gouged, and another’s leg was broken. “I don’t want this person,” they all said.
She sent for Rabbi Yose and said, “There is no god like your God. Your Torah is beautiful and praiseworthy. You have spoken well.”
The clear lesson is that even people with very similar backgrounds and lifestyles are not interchangeable parts, and cannot be carelessly matched up. It isn’t just a numbers game. It is Hashem’s holy work, and those who attempt to serve as His agents must do so with great care and humility.
The Erev Rav proponents of the age gap theory and “solution” seem to have drawn inspiration from the Roman matron. Page 6 of the Erev Rav age gap insert illustrates their view of the “Shidduch Market”:

A Day In The Life Of A Judean Settler Podcaster Trying To Bring Mashiach

Rabbi Wein zt"l – Prophet Yechezkel
by Rabbi Wein zt”l
I am not usually given to interpreting prophecy or dealing with messianic and/or apocalyptic visions. However, I have recently been reviewing the book of the prophet Yechezkel and could not help but think that many of the prophecies recorded in the middle section of the book are eerily similar to events that are occurring in our present day Middle Eastern part of the world
The prophet describes the demise of Tyre and Sidon (Lebanon) through bloodshed, economic weakness and civil turmoil. He predicts an awful war of bloodshed in Syria, Babylonia (Iraq), Yemen and Arabia. Libya and Egypt will also be beset by civil war, much bloodshed and death, and economic deprivation.
At the same time, the Jewish people will continue to return home to the Land of Israel and the country will flourish and remain an island of stability in the midst of the raging sea of chaos that surrounds it. That is a pretty accurate description of what is going on in the Middle East currently. Iraq, after decades of war, internecine turmoil and senseless destruction of its own infrastructure is pretty much a basket case today, in spite of all American efforts to put Humpty-Dumpty back together through democratic elections.
From Pakistan in the east to the Maghreb in the west, the Middle East is busily engaged in murdering its own populations. The Sunni-Shiite split in the Moslem world has never been more violent and bitter than it is today. The Kurds and the Alewites, as well as the Druze and Christians are struggling to survive in what is left of Syria.
Turkey faces a Kurdish breakaway, Al Qaida has rejuvenated itself,
Afghanistan is ungovernable, Egypt is torn asunder and financially bankrupt, Libya is very unstable, Jordan totters on its weak legs fearing a Palestinian takeover, Sudan and Eritrea are engaged in horrific civil wars – in short, the whole Middle East is one awful bloody volatile mess. Except for our blessed Israel. And that is what Yechezkel said would happen when he prophetically peered far into the future times. Quite remarkable!
There are many frightening visions regarding the Jewish people and the Land of Israel that also appear in the book of Yechezkel. Though the prophet foresees eventual redemption and triumph, blessing and tranquility, there apparently is a dark passageway that must be traversed before emerging into the light.
The Talmud and Jewish tradition always portrayed the period preceding Israel’s complete redemption as being a difficult one. As such, many of the great rabbis of the Talmud expressed the hope that they would be living in a different generation and thus be spared witnessing the events of that time. We would certainly hope that the persecutions suffered by our people over the past two centuries, culminating in the horrors of the Holocaust and the wars that Israel has been forced to fight in order to prevent its annihilation, will have certainly fulfilled that prophecy of tragedy and terrible trial.
Yet, I still find the prophecies of Yechezkel very cryptic, mysterious and potentially disturbing. So my fall back position is the one expressed by Rambam - that one should not overly concentrate on interpreting such events and matters for they will eventually sort themselves out in G–D’s good time and manner.
The book of Yechezkel devotes a great deal of space to the description of the structure and service of the holy Temple in Jerusalem. Most biblical commentators ascribe all of these descriptions and details to the forthcoming Third Temple.
Therefore those prophecies also still await the actuality of their fulfillment. Nonetheless the certainty of Yechezkel’s prophecies and the details of his visionary descriptions give one confidence as to their accuracy and reality.
The aforementioned realization of his prophecies regarding what our current Middle East would look like certainly lends credence to the further prophecies regarding the Third Temple and its establishment. Jews have read these prophecies for centuries on end and cherished them and believed in them when there seemed to be no possible way that they could ever actually materialize.
In our time when so many of the prophecies of our holy prophets have been fulfilled in exactitude in our lives and in front of our eyes, there really should be little if any doubt left as to the veracity of the remaining prophecies currently yet unfulfilled. Though the details of our future are shrouded from our gaze, the general outline of that future is discernible through the words of the prophets of Israel.
