IS HAMENI DEAD?? Who's running the "show".
Your Prayer(s) Can Change the Course of History
(Shabbos 119b, Soncino translation with minor revisions):
אמר רב יהודה אמר רב מאי דכתיב (דברי הימים א טז:כב) אל תגעו במשיחי ובנביאי אל תרעו אל תגעו במשיחי אלו תינוקות של בית רבן ובנביאי אל תרעו אלו ת"ח אמר ריש לקיש משום רבי יהודה נשיאה אין העולם מתקיים אלא בשביל הבל תינוקות של בית רבן א"ל רב פפא לאביי דידי ודידך מאי א"ל אינו דומה הבל שיש בו חטא להבל שאין בו חטא ואמר ריש לקיש משום ר"י נשיאה אין מבטלין תינוקות של בית רבן אפי' לבנין בית המקדש ואמר ר"ל לר"י נשיאה כך מקובלני מאבותי ואמרי לה מאבותיך כל עיר שאין בה תינוקות של בית רבן מחריבין אותה רבינא אמר מחרימין אותה
(Bereishis Rabba 42:3, and numerous other places):
וַיְהִי בִּימֵי אָחָז (ישעיה ז:א), מַה צָּרָה הָיְתָה שָׁם (ישעיה ט:יא): אֲרָם מִקֶּדֶם וּפְלִשְׁתִּים מֵאָחוֹר, מָשָׁל לְבֶן שָׂרִים שֶׁנִּזְדַּוֵּוג לוֹ פַּדְגּוֹגוֹ לַהֲמִיתוֹ, אָמַר אִם אֲנִי הוֹרְגוֹ עַכְשָׁיו אֶתְחַיֵּב מִיתָה לַשַּׂר, אֶלָּא הֲרֵינִי מוֹשֵׁךְ מְנִיקְתּוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ וּמֵעַצְמוֹ הוּא מֵת. כָּךְ אָמַר אָחָז אִם אֵין גְּדָיִים אֵין תְּיָשִׁים, אִם אֵין תְּיָשִׁים אֵין צֹאן, אִם אֵין צֹאן אֵין רוֹעֶה, אִם אֵין רוֹעֶה אֵין עוֹלָם. כָּךְ הָיָה סָבוּר בְּדַעְתּוֹ לוֹמַר אִם אֵין קְטַנִּים אֵין תַּלְמִידִים, אִם אֵין תַּלְמִידִים אֵין חֲכָמִים, אִם אֵין חֲכָמִים אֵין זְקֵנִים, אִם אֵין זְקֵנִים אֵין נְבִיאִים, אִם אֵין נְבִיאִים אֵין הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַשְׁרֶה שְׁכִינָתוֹ עֲלֵיהֶם, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב (ישעיה ח, טז): צוֹר תְּעוּדָה חֲתוֹם תּוֹרָה בְּלִמֻּדָי. רַבִּי חוֹנְיָא בַּר אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר לָמָּה נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ אָחָז, שֶׁאָחַז בָּתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹת וּבָתֵּי מִדְרָשׁוֹת.
“And it was in the days of Ahaz” (Yeshaya 7:1) — What trouble was there? “Aram from the east and the Philistines from the west” (Yeshaya 9:11). This may be compared to the son of a king against whom his tutor plotted in order to kill him. He said to himself: If I kill him now, I will be guilty of death to the king. Rather, I will withdraw his wet nurse from him, and he will die on his own. So said Ahaz: If there are no kids, there will be no rams; if there are no goats, there will be no sheep; if there are no sheep, there will be no shepherd; if there is no shepherd, there will be no world.
So he reasoned to himself: If there are no children, there will be no students; if there are no students, there will be no sages; if there are no sages, there will be no elders; if there are no elders, there will be no prophets; if there are no prophets, the Holy One, blessed be He, will not settle His Shechina upon them.
Thus it is written, “Bind up the testimony, shut up the instruction among My disciples” (Yeshaya 8:16).
Rabbi Chunia said the name of Rabbi Eliezer: Why was he called Ahaz? Because he seized [and closed up] the synagogues and schools.

THE AFTERTHOUGHT TO THE ABOVE WAS EVEN BETTER:
“……an allegory for the yetzer hara and unhealthy behaviors, but in writing it, it reminds me of the Gazans.
I can't help it. It's just too similar.
The secular Leftist kibbutzim surrounding Gaza continually gifted the Gazans with a wide array of benefits, sometimes investing huge amounts of time, energy, and money into satisfying their needs.
And some Gazans seemed so weak and injured...they seemed so friendly too...sure, they wreaked havoc on the "neighbors" – eg., other Jews living in Eretz Yisrael – but for those kibbutznikim, the Gazans seemed so cute and personable.
And then they started catering to the Gazans more intimately, inviting them into their homes and offering them pleasant employment.
Their victimized "neighbors" begged them to stop, providing them with well-reasoned warnings, but the kibbutznikim just couldn't stop...
Additionally, there was a fence to protect the kibbutznikim from any "overenthusiastic" predators...so what could go wrong?
And so things continued pleasantly, albeit with increasing danger and intensity, until that fateful day when their recipients insisted on "feasting" on the very people that fed them...
When predatory animals develop a taste for human flesh, they must be killed.
The Moral to the “stories”
“And these are real-life mussar lessons to demonstrate how the yetzer hara (and Gazans) operate, and how, even in the middle of indulging the behavior, we still have the opportunity to turn it all around through admitting the wrong-doing and committing to never doing it again.”

The Samaria Wreckage: How a Hunk of Debris Unveiled Iran’s Newest Superweapon
The field where the debris landed was a calculated drop zone for a jettisoned booster
It landed with a cacophony that echoed across the rocky hillsides, a colossal metal cylinder baking in the Middle Eastern sun. On the morning of June 19, residents in central Samaria awoke to a startling sight: a piece of debris the size of a bus, lying askew in a field of dry grass. It was the latest piece of wreckage to fall from the sky in a week that had seen the skies over Israel and Judea and Samaria crisscrossed by the fiery trails of hundreds of ballistic missiles and interceptors.
In the midst of a devastating missile exchange between Iran and Israel, this single piece of metal, found far from the intended targets in Tel Aviv or Beersheba, became an unlikely Rosetta Stone. Its analysis would provide a definitive answer to a question on the minds of military strategists from Washington to Tehran: Had Iran finally unleashed its most advanced and dangerous strategic weapon?
The story of this wreckage is a detective story, pieced together from visual clues on the object itself, the basic physics of rocketry, and carefully timed announcements by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It is the story of how analysts confirmed the combat debut of the Sejjil, a missile that represents a quantum leap in Iran’s military capabilities and fundamentally alters the strategic calculus of the Middle East.
Clue #1: The English on the Casing
At first glance, the most puzzling feature of the debris was the stenciled text clearly visible on its metallic skin. In crisp, black, capital letters, the markings read “CLAMP HERE” and “SUPPORT HERE”—instructions written in English.
For the layman, this might suggest a foreign origin, a weapon supplied to Iran by a Western power. But for missile experts, it was anything but surprising. The presence of English on Iranian ordnance is a known, if counterintuitive, phenomenon rooted in the history of Iran’s arms industry and the realities of global manufacturing.
There are three primary reasons for this: Munitions sold on the international market are often labeled in English, the de facto language of global commerce and engineering. These markings, which include serial numbers, factory codes, and manufacturing dates, are crucial for inventory management and quality control.
Furthermore, Iran’s ballistic missile program was not born in a vacuum. It was built on a foundation of foreign technology, beginning with Soviet-era Scud missiles acquired from North Korea and Libya in the 1980s. When reverse-engineering these systems, it is often more efficient to retain the original labeling conventions than to create an entirely new Farsi-based nomenclature. A striking precedent was found in Iran’s own nuclear archives, where a captured schematic for a Shahab-3 re-entry vehicle explicitly labeled the spherical payload with the English word “sphere”.
Finally, even as its domestic industry has matured, Iran remains reliant on a global network for critical dual-use components like advanced carbon fiber and servo motors, often procured from China. These parts frequently arrive with their original English markings and are integrated directly into the final missile assembly.
The English text, therefore, was not a contradiction of the missile’s Iranian origin. It was a fingerprint, pointing to a complex history of reverse-engineering and global procurement.
Clue #2: The Science of Falling Objects
The next clue was the object’s sheer size and condition. It was a massive, largely intact cylinder. This was inconsistent with the debris from a missile that had been catastrophically destroyed by an interceptor. A direct hit on a warhead or main body would have resulted in disintegration into countless smaller fragments.
This pointed to a different conclusion, one grounded in the basic principles of missile staging. Long-range ballistic missiles are often built in multiple stages. The first stage, or “booster,” is the largest and heaviest part, containing the powerful rocket motor needed to lift the entire missile off the launchpad and propel it to the edge of space. Once its fuel is expended, this massive stage separates from the smaller second stage (which carries the warhead) and tumbles back to Earth along a predictable arc.
The “bus-sized” object in Samaria was not the result of a failed missile; it was the result of a successful first-stage burn and separation. The location was also telling. Samaria lies directly under the flight path for missiles launched from western Iran towards the strategic heart of Israel. The field where the debris landed was a calculated drop zone for a jettisoned booster.
This narrowed the list of suspects considerably. The debris could not have come from Iran’s workhorse single-stage missiles, like the liquid-fueled Shahab-3 or the heavy-hitting Khorramshahr. Those missiles do not have a booster to jettison. The culprit had to be one of Iran’s more advanced, two-stage systems.
The Smoking Gun: A Timely Confession
Two primary candidates emerged: the Fattah, a newer hypersonic missile, and the Sejjil, a powerful two-stage, solid-fuel missile that has been in development for over a decade. Both are two-stage systems capable of producing such debris.
The final, definitive clue came not from the wreckage itself, but from Tehran. On June 18 and 19, as Israeli emergency services were cordoning off debris fields in Samaria, the IRGC made a landmark announcement through state-affiliated media. As part of its “Operation True Promise 3,” it had, for the first time ever, launched its Sejjil long-range ballistic missiles in a combat operation against Israel.
The timing was significant. The discovery of a massive first-stage booster, perfectly matching the description of the Sejjil’s, occurred at the exact moment Iran was boasting of the missile’s combat debut. The debris in Samaria was, with high confidence, the first-stage booster of an Iranian Sejjil missile.
Why the Sejjil Changes Everything
The confirmation of the Sejjil’s use is far more than a technical footnote in the ongoing conflict. It represents a profound and dangerous evolution in Iran’s strategic threat. For decades, Iran’s primary long-range deterrent has been its arsenal of liquid-fueled missiles like the Shahab-3 and its variants. While potent, these weapons have a critical vulnerability: they are slow. They must be laboriously filled with volatile liquid propellants on the launch pad, a process that can take hours and is easily observable by enemy satellites, making them prime targets for pre-emptive strikes.
The Sejjil, with its solid-fuel propulsion, shatters that limitation. Solid-fuel missiles are the ballistic equivalent of a rifle cartridge. They can be stored fully fueled for years, moved on mobile launchers, and fired with as little as 30 minutes’ notice. This gives Iran a survivable, rapid-response capability, allowing it to hide its launchers and engage in “shoot-and-scoot” tactics that are nearly impossible to counter before launch.
The decision to finally use the Sejjil was a deliberate signal from Tehran to Israel and the United States. It was a declaration that Iran’s missile force is no longer a slow, vulnerable asset but a flexible and resilient one. With a range of over 2,000 kilometers, the Sejjil can strike any target in Israel, as well as U.S. bases throughout the region, directly from launchers hidden deep within Iranian territory.
The conflict of June 2025 has been defined by its scale and intensity. Iran has launched over 350 ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones, targeting population centers and critical infrastructure. It has deployed missiles with advanced cluster munition warheads designed to saturate defenses. While Israel’s multi-layered defense shield, bolstered by U.S. assets, is claimed to be remarkably effective, reportedly intercepting 80 to 90 percent of the threats, the sheer volume has ensured that some get through, causing dozens of fatalities and widespread damage. The wreckage in the Samarian field is a stark symbol of this new reality. Even a successful interception of a missile like the Sejjil means its massive, bus-sized booster may fall back to Earth, posing a significant hazard in its own right.
The debris was not just a piece of a missile; it was a calling card from a more dangerous and technologically advanced Iran, announcing its arrival on the battlefield and raising the stakes in a conflict with no end in sight.
For those still unfamiliar, Substack is a relatively new platform on social media for sharing articles and notes on various topics. Essentially, it is for bloggers. However, from my experience it is much more interactive between writers and commenters.
I have been trying it out, believing it may help me to broaden my audience.
The following is a back and forth between me and someone who either identifies as "palestinian," or who is aligned with these pawns of the Arab world. It has been edited for clarity and elaboration of my views. You can see the original here, if it has not already been taken down.
I post it here, not to try to convince or influence anyone of anything. Didn't I just write how pointless the same old Hasbara crap is? I am posting this to demonstrate the extent of the anti-Torah lies spread throughout the world. At the very least, maybe some Jewish parents will wake up, and stop funding their children's indoctrination by such individuals at many of their academic institutions.

ME: THE WAR OF WORDS CONTINUES:
Battered Jews Celebrating Their Abusers
Sorry, but I have to poop on your party
The military censor allowed the media to broadcast this video, because apparently THIS one won't “help Iran aim better”. It's the first time I have ever clearly seen Iron Dome intercept anything (as opposed to blowing itself up or attacking the peasants on the ground). What did the Iron Dome missile intercept in the air? Another Iron Dome missile. Bravo.
Back to your safe rooms, sheep.
Anytime you get safety instructions from the same people responsible for the worst, most inexplicable "intelligence failure" in history, you have to blindly follow them. It's a no-brainer.
Do you really believe we spent 2000 years in galus to be redeemed by the likes of Netanyahu and Trump, and a terribly secular army?
For all the ignorant Jews who blabber half-baked platitudes about all leaders coming from Hashem, and Hashem can perform miracles through anyone, etc. here’s an inconvenient principle from Chazal that you need to contend with:
מגלגלין זכות על ידי זכאי וחובה על ידי חייב
Meritorious events are arranged through the meritorious, and punishment through the guilty.
Fun fact for those who can read words in a Tanach but have no depth of understanding: Chazal considered Koresh a rasha.
The leaders of the State of Israel are arguably worse than the worst king we ever had during Bayis Rishon. It's a close call with some of them (their numerous horrific sins are different, and it's hard to know how they offset), but if you think any of them deserve blessings you're deluding yourself, and I can't help with that. All of them are a curse on the Jewish people.
What Chazal actually teach is we get the leaders we deserve. Considering how so many "religious" Jews are fawning over kofrim and reshaim, that is clearly the case
Once again I have to post this article for all the religious Jews expressing views that our prophets considered a harlot-like betrayal of Hashem. Maybe one or two of them will care what the Torah actually has to say instead of contenting themselves with primitive celebrations and platitudes.
Sorry for pooping on your party, but it's a mitzvah.

ME: THIS IS MOST REVEALING SECTION:
Yesterday I got a ride in a charedi car service. The driver was wearing a bekeshe, so he probably wouldn't eat in my home and would be horrified if I married into his family. He asked if I had a preference for music or the news. I said I don't care, and he put on the news.
"It's all fake," I told him.
He told me this is Shidur Chai, a charedi radio station.
"Then it's a little less fake," I said. He laughed.
The host was going on and on with great excitement about what a historic day this is, miracles upon miracles, America helped us defeat Iran, and kept raving about Bibi going to the kotel again to “thank Hashem” (which I wasn’t even aware of until then, since I don’t follow the news).
"Every word is false," I said.
The driver cheerfully replied that Bibi is becoming stronger religiously. I gave him my opinion on Bibi, which I will not repeat here, and said the wool is being pulled over people's eyes. I added that all of this is a gezerias shmad, a decree of destruction against the Jewish people by the Erev Rav. Just like they did with covid, they are closing the shuls, yeshivas, and cheders. Shmad.
"You sound like a kanai [charedi religious zealot]," he said to his passenger wearing a purple polo shirt and knitted kippa.
You know have no idea.
The whole "charedi" news program was kefira. It was the same state propaganda and godless political analysis with a twist of "Baruch Hashem" that koshered it up. The glatt kosher charedi media is nothing more than glatt kosher kefira, pumped into their minds by the same Erev Rav, from the same production company, using operatives who put on a religious show for a particular audience.
Some guy wearing a bekeshe turns to a fake charedi radio host for perspective, and mindlessly accepts kosher kefira about an actor going to the kotel.
It makes sense. You get the leaders you deserve
If you are tuning in to the media, which does nothing but poison your mind with lies and kefira, there is absolutely no chance you will be able to see clearly or think straight
Can a "religious" Jew please explain to me why they are excited and inspired that a purportedly Jewish leader who doesn't even keep the seven Noahide laws put a note in the kotel?
Netanyahu prays for Trump at the Western Wall: 'A nation has risen like a lion'
"Prime Minister Netanyahu stated: “Ten days ago, on the eve of Israel’s historic action, I stood here and placed a note that read: ‘Behold, a nation shall rise like a lion’. Now, ten days later, I return to the same place and leave a note that reads: ‘Behold, a nation has risen like a lion - the Nation of Israel lives!’”"
Neither of his two notes even constitute a prayer. They completely omit Hashem. He didn't ask Hashem for anything and he didn't thank Hashem for anything, just patted himself on the back with his camera crew in tow. Why don't you just place a statue of yourself in the Holy of Holies while you're at it?
THIS is what religious Jews are so giddy about?
It's incredible what suckers people can be. You don't have to do much to fool people who are eagerly fooling themselves
The leaders of the State of Israel that so many religious fools — including "haredim" — are celebrating are the biggest walking chillum Hashem in the entire world
Why is a sheigitz allowed to go to the kotel with a camera crew and a security team for a photo op, but you're not allowed to go there to daven and learn Torah?
How could they blow up nuclear reactors without any radiation pouring out? Is anyone even asking this? Are they even bothering to explain it?
Israel supposedly had a stunning, miraculous victory, yet the yeshivas remain closed and a licensed physical therapist reported that she is not allowed to go to work and help elderly people. Keeping us safe...
People are actually saying Hallel for this!
The senseless euphoria today is equivalent to the cultish videos of hospital staff dancing during Covid lockdowns.
A siren went off during a minyan in Beitar while they were saying Shemoneh Esrei. They waited until they finished Shemoneh Esrei and then went to their “safe room”.
Memah nafshach. If it’s pikuach nefesh, they should have interrupted Shemoneh Esrei and gone immediately. If it isn’t pikuach nefesh, they shouldn’t have gone at all.
People simply cannot think straight.
After 2000 years of exile and persecution, betrayal and false messiahs, the Jewish people have learned a lot of hard lessons and won't be fooled so easily — especially with the timeless wisdom of the Torah guiding them and safeguarding them from foolish mistakes.
The Jewish people will not be duped anymore. They've wised up. Never again.
If you want them to trust you now, you need to bring the goods!
You need to take pictures of yourself putting a note in the kotel or visiting the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Nothing less will suffice!

Comment from reader: In Tel Aviv. These went up pretty fast. Makes you think they were already prepared some time ago. Like the Bring Them Home posters were prepared before Oct 7.
And from me: How many of those aircraft people all over Israel witnessed flying over them during the “Iranian rocket barrages from outer space” were American?
