Flu Season: How did this become winter’s ’enemy #1’
What do we learn from this?
Now the mainstream media is finally catching up. Recently, Fox News published a piece about the rise of the subclade K variant:
Flu season is among us, and a new strain has emerged as a major threat.
A mutation of influenza A H3N2, called subclade K, has been detected as the culprit in rising global cases, including in the U.S…
A mutation of influenza A H3N2, called subclade K, has been detected as the culprit in rising global cases, including in the U.S…
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Neil Maniar, professor of public health practice at Boston’s Northeastern University, shared details on the early severity of this emerging strain.
"It’s becoming evident that this is a pretty severe variant of the flu," he said. "Certainly in other parts of the world where this variant has been prevalent, it's caused some severe illness, and we're seeing an aggressive flu season already."
A “PERFECT STORM” FOR A DANGEROUS FLU SEASON
Experts are referring to this new dangerous variant as the “perfect storm” for a dangerous flu season for two important reasons.
First, this mutation is more severe than other flu strains:
The variant seems to differ from prior strains of the flu, with heightened versions of typical symptoms like fever, chills, headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat and runny nose.
Second, not only is this mutation more severe and virulent, the so-called “flu vaccine” is even less effective than usual against it.
And the sad truth is that even in the best years, the flu vaccine doesn’t work.
Last year’s “flu vaccine” was only 36% effective. Even worse, for some high-risk groups like the elderly, the effective rate was even LOWER than 36%.
Last year’s “flu vaccine” was only 36% effective. Even worse, for some high-risk groups like the elderly, the effective rate was even LOWER than 36%.
Public officials warn of a mismatch between the variant and the most recent flu vaccines — meaning vaccinated individuals may be protected from other variants but still vulnerable to subclade K.
As STAT News points out, vaccine manufacturers rely on guidance from the World Health Organization to know what flu variants their vaccines should target — but in cases such as what’s happening now — what variant reigns dominant may not peak until after vaccines are formulated.
This gap leaves vaccine manufacturers targeting variants that aren’t the biggest threat in a given season.

Rabbi Green: Clarification
Clarification of Previous Post
Sabbath Exclusivity or Sabbath for All?
With regard to my previous post [1]:
The intention wasn’t to exclude non-Jewish individuals from acknowledging the true Sabbath and making it meaningful in a personal way [2], or from voluntarily taking a day off from work.
Rather, the intention was to explain that one cannot properly keep the commandment of observing the Sabbath as a non-Jew, and certainly not as a Christian/Messianic/Muslim, since only Jews [3] are commanded to observe the Sabbath by refraining from all Biblically-prohibited labors. This is made abundantly clear in scripture [4].
This doesn’t mean that others aren’t entitled to make the Sabbath meaningful in their own way [2].
However, those who wish to observe the Sabbath as commanded by God need to join His people as per Exodus 20:10 and Isaiah 56:6.
[With regards to people who claim Jewish descent but aren't recognized by the established Jewish community, please see note 6 below.]
This was mainly in response to recent revisionists who seek to disassociate the true Sabbath (i.e. from Friday sundown till Saturday after nightfall) from the Jewish people, and claim that Jews have “unjustly” made the sabbath their own when in reality it preceded Israel’s existence and the covenant at Sinai by some two millennia. Consequently, such people feel that they’re entitled to “take back” Sabbath observance and make it a Christian practice.
My point is the Sabbath and Israel are inseparable, and while there’s nothing wrong with an non-Jewish individual seeking to make the Sabbath meaningful in his/her own way [2], it is NOT the “Christian Sabbath” and never will be. Nor is the “Messianic Sabbath” or “Sabbatean Sabbath” for that matter, even if they pose as Jews.
“And You, the Lord our God, did not give it [i.e. the Sabbath] to the nations of the world, nor did You, our King, grant it as a heritage to idol-worshipers, nor can the uncircumcised participate in its rest — for You have given it in love to Your people Israel, to the descendants of Jacob whom you have chosen.” [5]

[3] “Jew,” or yehudi in Biblical Hebrew, refers to any actual member of the Jewish people, modern-day descendants of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel. See Esther 2:5, 3:4, 5:13, 6:10, 6:13, 9:29&31, Chronicles I 4:18, for examples how this term applies to Benjaminites (and descendants of other Israelite tribes) as well. The term yehudim is used widely throughout scripture. See Zechariah 5:23, Jeremiah 34:9, 40:11-12, 43:9, 52:28,30, Kings II 16:6, 25:25, Nehemiah 2:16, 3:33-34, 5:17, 6:6, and numerous places in Esther, Daniel, and Ezra.

Rabbi Weissman: Burnt Dinner....
Plus powerful words from Rav Avigdor Miller on Distinguishing Between Jews and Israel
I don’t like writing teasers to lure more viewers for my Torah classes, as if I’m competing for people’s attention with the endless entertainment options on the Internet, or even with other people giving classes. It feels degrading to the Torah that I am offering, and it also feels like an extra redundant chore. If you appreciate the Torah and perspective I offer in my articles, I think you will appreciate the classes as well; why wouldn’t you? There is so much there, and I simply can’t transcribe it all.
I was all fired up on Shabbos, just waiting to give this class today. An advice column in a weekly Jewish publication featured the following question:
My wife stopped making dinner because I tend to complain. For example, if the chicken, vegetables or rice were undercooked — I would point it out. She finally said I should make dinner myself. I apologized, but it’s not helping. How can I appease her and have her agree to make dinner again?
The answer he received from the “marriage and advice counselor” and editor of the publication infuriated me.
What would you respond?
More importantly, was your response based on Torah and rooted in Torah?
Mine was. That was the basis for today’s class.
It will make many people bristle, especially if they were marinated in degenerate Western education (Amalek-inspired). However, if such people can get past their conditioning, biases, and reflexive emotional reactions, they might just learn something and change their minds.
That is why we learn Torah, after all, isn’t it? It certainly should be…

Speaking of things that will make people bristle, but which will be appreciated by those who are capable of learning and rethinking their views:

Rav Avigdor Miller on Distinguishing Between Jews and Israel
Q: Should we be worried that the “Zionism is Racism” resolution that was just passed by the UN is going to affect the Torah world?
A: There’s no question that what anybody does is going to affect us to some extent. What the State of Israel has done affects us. And what the enemies of the State of Israel does affects us.
But let’s not confuse the issues. When these countries get together and they oppose the State of Israel, let’s not be in a hurry to say that they’re enemies of the Jewish people.
The Zionist organizations are longing that this should be the national slogan of all Jews, so that all Jews should be roped in; we should all be in the same boat together with them and whatever happens to them should chalilah happen to us. No. We have to dissociate ourselves from this. It doesn’t mean we have to give comfort to the enemies of Israel but when we do defend the State of Israel we should never speak in the name of the Jewish people. Whatever is said has to be said for the State of Israel, not the Jewish people.
The Jewish people are not involved in fights with Arabs. The Jewish people are not involved in fights with the colored peoples of the world or with white peoples. We have no fight with anybody. We are fighting against the yetzer hara. That’s enough to keep us busy all our lives—that’s a big enough enemy. It’s not what I say. The Shavler Rav, zichrono levrachah, said that. I was once present when he said that. We were a small group of yeshivah men sitting in the country; it was after Tisha B’av he was sitting down and he was speaking to us informally. He said, “People are making protests against the Arabs.” This was forty years ago and there were Jews who were protesting the Arabs. He said we should all get together—he said this seriously—and make a great protest against the evil inclination. That’s our enemy.
It’s not the Arabs who are our enemy. That’s a mistake. Shouting at the Arabs? First of all, you’re shouting in the wrong direction. We have to shout at ourselves. We have to shout at the Zionist leaders, the atheists who head the State of Israel. They’re the ones we have to shout at. You know these people caused the death of at least a million Jews in Europe? It’s proven today. The famous Kastner trial proved that the State of Israel—Shertok, Weizmann, Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, the whole caboodle—were responsible for the death of over a million Jews in Europe. They could have saved them and they didn’t want to do it because of little selfish ambitions.
If you don’t believe me, try to get hold of a copy of the book called Perfidy by Ben Hecht. You know, you can’t get it. You know why you can’t get it? You can’t get it anywhere. Why can’t you get that book? It’s a queer thing. The book wasn’t published long ago. Why can’t you get it anymore? The answer is that the powerful Zionist organization has a lot of money and they saw to it that the book is not available. It’s just not available. It’s easier to buy books against the pope—that’s also not easy; I know about it; it’s very hard to get books against the pope, but it’s easier; there are publishing houses that specialize in that—than to get a copy of Perfidy. Because the Zionists have quite a strong organization.
So I’m not saying that right now we should go out and fight the Zionists but we shouldn’t identify the Jewish people with the politicians that are heading the State of Israel.
Why is it that when Sadat came to America and he was given a reception he demanded food that was kosher according to Mohammadan laws, and not a single one of the Zionist leaders demanded a kosher meal? They ate any kind of chazerei that was fed to them in the public reception. Not once did they ask for kosher food.
So what are you talking about? They’re our leaders?! They’re our enemies! I don’t care what you people say. You people are bamboozled by the press. You’re bamboozled by the rabbis. Rabbis are just slaves of the people. The American rabbi? You get together let’s say in a certain neighborhood fifty families and you make a congregation and hire a rabbi. Whom do they hire? Do they go to the rosh yeshivos and say pick out the biggest tzaddik and the biggest lamdan? No. They pick out somebody according to their hearts, who mirrors their thoughts. Some low fellow, an American boy, a bumpkin, an oaf, an am ha’aretz, a nobody. That’s the truth. They don’t take rabbis whose opinions they don’t like. They pick a rabbi who is going to mirror their ideas. That’s how it is everywhere. Unless he has his own synagogue. Otherwise, whom do they pick?
And don’t forget that the ladies have something to say about it too. And the men, the same thing. They’re all burim. The president himself could be a man who doesn’t keep the Torah and he has a lot to say. You expect such a president to choose a rabbi a tzaddik? So he chooses a rabbi who approves of the Zionists, that’s all.
Therefore although whatever happens affects us— no question. It’s no benefit for us that all these third world nations have been mobilized against the State of Israel and now the Jews are shouting ‘Zionism is Judaism.’ ‘The State of Israel is the Jewish people.’ So now we’re telling the world that because you hate the State of Israel so all the Jews hate you. It’s a very bad policy.
There was once a time when Jews lived in Syria, Jews lived in Egypt. Jews lived in all Northern Africa. Jews lived in Yemen. Whether they lived prosperously or not, but they lived. They weren’t persecuted too much. In other places in Europe they were persecuted plenty. But the Jews lived. Now the Zionists have succeeded that in all these places it’s impossible for a Jew to live.
That’s a big accomplishment. When they started the Zionist organization they said, “If we’ll have our state then Jews will now be respected all over the world.” That’s what they said. It’s written in countless documents, declarations. “If we’ll have our own state then Jews will be respected all over the world. We won’t be homeless wanderers anymore and antisemitism will die out.”
And now you see how it’s dying out. Antisemitism is burgeoning like never before just because of the Jewish state.
So therefore all these things affect us; certainly they affect us. But it’s up to us to try to dissociate, to distinguish, to make a difference between the State of Israel and the Jews. We try to help them; yes, we have to help; there are a lot of Jews there. But at the same time we have to make clear they are not the Jewish people.

ALOT More RAIN Coming …..
Geshem is a Blessing!

| Netanya |
Videos of the area show cars almost fully submerged in water on the flooded streets. Rescue forces are currently hard at work rescuing people stranded on car roofs.
The rain is expected to continue over the coming hours and stop in the evening. A slight rise in temperatures is expected on Wednesday. No rain is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, but toward the end of the week, 🌂⛈️🌈🌧️💧☔️. rainfalls is expected to return with greater intensity across a wider area, from the north down to the Negev.
The Meteorological Service said, “Rain fell from the late morning hours until evening, from northern Israel through the central coast and the Shfela. Toward midday the rain fell at strong intensities, with the focus of the heaviest rainfall expected from the Gush Dan and Sharon areas through Netanya and Hadera and up to the Carmel Coast, with a risk of urban flooding in these areas.”
“We are at the beginning of a prolonged winter period that will arrive in several waves, from the end of the week until at least the end of the month/the civil year.”

“small Jewish pioneer groups“ to be established in Gaza?
What do we make of this?
Comments & opinions please
Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced on Tuesday morning that security officials intend to establish small Jewish pioneer groups in the northern Gaza Strip and restore IDF bases that were evacuated from the northern Shomron to their original locations.
Speaking at a ceremony in Beit El, Katz said, “The State of Israel is once again expressing, in the clearest possible way, its commitment to and confidence in the settlement enterprise in Yehudah and Shomron, which safeguards the heart of our land and connects us to our heritage, our roots, and our ideology.”
“The security reality in recent years has taught us that wherever there is settlement, there is an improved security reality. Just as the settlements protect a large portion of Israel’s citizens, our role is to ensure that we protect the protector.”
“We are deep inside Gaza, and we will never leave all of Gaza—there will never be such a thing. We don’t rely on anyone. B’ezras Hashem, in due course we will establish Nachal pioneer groups in northern Gaza in place of the communities that were evacuated, in the right way and at the appropriate time.”
Katz’s remarks were made despite the Trump administration’s push toward the next stage of the agreement with the Hamas terror group, which precludes a permanent IDF presence in Gaza. Hamas has flagrantly violated the agreement over and over, refuses to disarm, and has failed to return the remains of fallen hostage Ran Gvili, H’yd.
Katz also addressed the threats in Syria, saying, “We will not move even a millimeter in Syria. We will not allow threats.”
The Yesha Council responded to Katz’s announcement, stating, “We congratulate Defense Minister Yisrael Katz on his important announcement regarding the establishment of Nachal pioneer groups in the Gaza Strip. The uprooting of the yishuvim and the expulsion of the Jews were a terrible injustice; settlement in Gaza is the tikkun. Settlement in the Strip has always strengthened the security of southern Israel and the State of Israel as a whole. It will now also make clear to the enemy that it is paying with land for the October 7 massacre—permanently.”

Rabbi Weissman: Solidarity Gathering....
Plus Rav Wasserman on electing agents of the Satan
Very briefly, in part 35 of The Prophetic Teachings of Rav Elchonon Wasserman we discussed the following:
- Rav Wasserman’s support for a Jewish homeland in Eretz Yisrael — if only it were true
- The most essential litmus test for whether a leader is good or bad (and why your leaders totally fail it)
- Why the people building the Land of Israel are cursed, guaranteed to fail in the end, and are in fact agents of the Satan
- The hollowness of the excuse that we should support them for the sake of peace
The class is embedded above and on Rumble here.
This morning I saw a giant billboard in prime advertising space near the entrance to Jerusalem. “Israel is moving to the carrot and stick. Don’t serve? Don’t receive [benefits]!” Complete with almost swastika-like imagery:
The front group that spent a fortune on this billboard is called התאחדות הסטודנטים והסטודנטיות בישראל, or the National Union of Israeli Students. You can see some of their financial information here. They’re very well funded by…who knows who.
Meanwhile, a rabbi in Jerusalem in the wrong place at the wrong time recently received a nice helping of the stick, at the hands of Hebrew-speaking Gestapo, who are always eager to unleash their sadism whenever their masters give them the green light. Read one report about it here. Am Yisrael Chai!
More than a few commenters justify or whitewash the sadism, and would like to see more of it, so long as it’s never directed at people of their ideological persuasion.
Selective sadists are still sadists.
While the rhetoric against Jews in America and other “enlightened” bastions increasingly resembles pre-Holocaust Nazi propaganda, the rhetoric within Israel against “charedim” is being ratcheted up with the very same ultimate purpose in mind: shmad.
It is no coincidence that the escalation in menacing rhetoric against “charedim” in Israel parallels what is going on worldwide against the Jewish people as a whole.
There is one significant difference with the incitement from within. The Erev Rav / seed of Amalek are somewhat constrained in how they go about it, because they must pretend to be representing and protecting the Jewish people. It’s a balancing act — but make no mistake as to their true identity and goals. Many of their predecessors were actual Nazi collaborators, and, like the Holocaust, it never really ended; it merely changed shape. (See my important interview with Steve Rodan, author of “In Jewish Blood: The Zionist Alliance with Germany”, here.)
These snakes are masterful and pushing people’s buttons so they scapegoat each other for their misery, and never the snake that bites them again and again.
They literally allowed October 7 to happen, then got tens of thousands of Jewish soldiers maimed, killed, and ruined in so many ways, all so their American globalist masters can turn Gaza into a 15-minute city with an international army on our soil, all while earning billions for their war industry, raising taxes even more, suffering no accountability — and directing the public’s pent-up fury at “charedim” instead.
Yeah, they’re the problem. If only it weren’t for them. All your problems would go away and life would be swell. If only it weren’t for them…
The same Jews who expect goyim across the world to condemn hate speech and violence against Jews never condemn hate speech and Hebrew-speaking Gestapo pogroms against “charedim”. In fact, they cheer it on.
We don’t need a prophet to connect the dots. The midah k’negged midah couldn’t be clearer.
Likewise, the proper response is not difficult to determine, though it will surely be difficult for many people to swallow.
People who do not identify as “charedim”, and even those who have a long list of complaints about the “charedi world” — myself included — need to strongly condemn the rhetoric, dehumanization, state-sponsored violence, unjust imprisonments (kidnappings), and calls for additional tyrannical measures against them. This must be done unequivocally.
Frankly, we should condemn this sort of thing against anyone — Arabs included. (See “Torture Has No Place in a Jewish State”.)
Instead of the usual protests, all of which serve the snake’s agenda, there should be a solidarity rally. Imagine if the many, many IDF soldiers past and present who are absolutely fed up with forced conscription, pointless operations, state persecution of soldiers, suicidal orders, and so much more, joined with “charedim” in opposing the current state of affairs.
Imagine if the same people who protest state brutality when destroying “illegal Jewish homes” joined forces to protest brutality against “illegal draft dodgers”.
The state-controlled media wouldn’t find it heartwarming. They would have a meltdown.
The globalist stooges in government, the Erev Rav snakes who always wax poetic about “unity”, wouldn’t celebrate actual unity. They would panic.
The shadowy entities controlling the discourse and the color war through their numerous front groups would call an emergency meeting. They might even need to unleash another pandemic or a war to keep the slave class under control.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
The organizations and leaders who were groomed and chosen for you are not going to call for a solidarity rally. They work for someone else. And people who appreciate this idea are too scattered to pull it off. For now.
What you can do, however, is forward this message, adding your personal condemnation of the incitement and brutality.
You can post your own message on social media, expressing solidarity with “charedim”, even if you disagree with much about their lifestyle and ideology.
You can make it clear to one and all that you’re not going to take the hate-bait any longer, and call for others to do the same.
If you experience an extremely strong internal resistance to this idea, know that it is because the snake, the yetzer hara, really, really, doesn’t want you to do it. Anything but that.
What will you do?
