I dreamed of a world where everything was love, beauty and poetry, where there was no sickness and no hate among people...
I dreamed of a wondrous world where people were smiling and kind to each other, a world where everyone was happy and positive...
I dreamed of a world where goodness and love were ruling according to the G-d's Commandments.
It was the paradise that G-d had given to Adam and Eve, but this time, we had learned our lesson. The apple was there, but we knew better, we knew just to look at it and say thank you, dear G-d, that you let us look at that sweet apple... but we did not touch it... we knew better...
And, then, I woke up...
G-d bless your day and your week, my darling friends, may He Surround you with His Love, His Light and His Grace...
B"H
Every Friday signals the end of our week, and makes me a bit nostalgic for the time that just passed... I always hope that my week was fruitful, that it was meaningful, and that I may have contributed in some tiny way as the Instrument of The One who is My Father, My King and My G-d...
It's not easy to be a Jew, especially a 'good Jew.' But it is the most wonderful honor, privilege any human being could have received...
But my nostalgic furtive moment gives immediately place to my joy of beginning Shabbat, the holiest day in the week, where we come closest to G-d because we fulfill the most essential Commandment that He gave us from the Creation of the world...
We, Jews, are in the world by His Wish and Command, to help make this a better world... we are not perfect, but our role is to aim for it...
Something that comes to my mind is the notion of "Lashon Hara..." which teaches and warns us about the sins of wronging people through speech.
According to our Jewish law, no one should be saying anything wrong about anyone -even if it is true... It teaches about looking at the positive, and only speaking well about others...
A good Jew knows that by doing so, both heart and soul benefit from G-d's Blessings and from creating good-will around oneself...
PROHIBITION OF NEGATIVE COMMENTS: WHETHER FALSE OR TRUE...
It is forbidden to speak disparagingly of people. Even if the information is entirely truthful, it is called Lashon Hara. If the information also contains any fabrication, it is also called motzi shem ra (lit. putting out a bad name). The speaker of Lashon Hara violates the prohibition of "Lo telech rachil b'ameicha (Lev. 19:16)."
Let me explain: People who make it a habit to talk about others in a derogatory manner ("Did you hear.....", "Do you know she.....", etc.) are labeled ba'alei lashon hara (lit. masters of Lashon Hara, in that such speech is an integral part of themselves), and their transgression is far more severe. By doing so, they regularly commit chilul Hashem (desecration of the name of G-d; cf. Lev. 22:32).
Those who commit Lashon Hara, the ba'alei Lashon Hara, end up also cut off from something else: olam habah (the World to Come).
Our Sages also say (Bab. Erchin 15b) that for three transgressions one forfeits his portion in olam habah: murder, adultery, and idol worship, and that lashon hara is equivalent to all three.
G-D's WORLD
Even Einstein, the most famous scientist that has ever existed, believed in G-d...
Einstein through his science and thorough research, somehow got an idea of the magnificence and the perfection of the Creation of the World and most certainly must have understood that only something beyond superior, a unique mind and intelligence that none can grab, must have created this world... G-D...
G-d was Gracious with us. Of all His Creations, He granted us a big though-under-used brain. He granted us intelligence, one which we abuse when we go against not only His Commandments, but against the most basic physical laws of the Universe that expect us to follow and continue the Universal Order, His Order...
Lashon hara is a prohibition.
However, as in everything else, mankind is not listening and has obviously not learned from past experience.
And, we are going yet again, against His Will.
In doing so, we are doing it at our own risk, for there is no negotiating with G-d... simply because there is nothing between right and wrong. There is no middle term and there is no bi-term.
That's what we also see in this week Parashat Ha Shavua, Toldot, where Isaac and Rebecca have two children who were as opposite to each other as day and night. One was righteous and the other was not.
May G-d Bless Israel with more G-d loving and Torah abiding Jews.
May G-d bless the true, steadfast loyal friends of the Jewish people worldwide...
May G-d Bless abundantly His Children, the Jewish people, with blessings of wisdom and strength...
Shabbat shalom

My darling friends worldwide:
A beautiful day to all of you...
And, here a phrase we say daily, by our King David:
זה היום עשה ה ': תן לנו לשמוח ולהיות שמח על זה
"This is the day HaShem has made: let us rejoice and be glad on it..."
And in this phrase, there are two main words: Simcha and Gilah -and though they are slightly the same, there is a major difference between them:
Simcha is reflected in the instantaneous thrill of a quick accomplishment.
Gilah is the joy that comes with the completion of a long process. Gilah goes beyond the moment and it is a far more fulfilling joy.
We, Jews, thank G-d several times, every single day, with simcha and gilah...
Everyday is Thanks Giving day to us...
G-d bless you all, abundantly, friends of G-d's Children, the Jewish people....
G-d bless His people, the Jewish people and His Land, Israel...
B"H
Good morning, beautiful day and evening to my darling friends around the world... May my flowers bring joy to your day...
My thought for today is that, no matter where we are, we, the Jewish people, were placed in this world to help make it a better world -in the lines of tikkun olam... We must therefore, live by His Commandments, for they are witness of His Infinite Wisdom...
Look at the stars... Are they constantly colliding? No. Why? Simply because they have a pattern to follow -and *no* brain to think or decide, so accidents and mishaps rarely happen.
We, on the contrary, were gifted with intelligence and the freedom of choice -which we abuse, for the choice is *exclusively* given to us on the condition that we abide by G-d's Rules, otherwise, we see the chaos and mayhem we are allowing to develop, because we are going against His Pattern of survival and harmony... We do it time and again, we do it at our own risk...
May G-d's Blessings be sprinkled upon you wherever you are and may you be Illuminated by His Light and His Love....
B"H
Mes amis, mes amours, bonjour... My darlings, have a great day...
It's erev Shabbat, which means in a few hours it will be Shabbat throughout the world, the time for Jews to pray and rejoice in our Divine Connection with G-d...
On this Shabbat, we read "Chayei Sarah," where we and anyone can read what is recorded in our Torah, the Book where G-d's Words are registered as our Divine Guide:
"Abraham needed a burying-place for Sarah, and bought the field of the Machpelah, at the end of which was a cave, paying four [it] hundred silver shekels."
The Cave of the Patriarchs or the Cave of Machpelah (Hebrew: מערת המכפלה, ..... in Hebron' (Kiryat Arba, before the Cave of Machpelah) is the world's most ancient Jewish site and the second holiest place for the Jewish people, after Temple Mount in Jerusalem...
Bereshit, Genesis, 23, records the purchase by Abraham of a plot of ground in Hebron for a burial cave for his wife Sarah.
Hebron is in Judea and Samaria, Israel.
Enjoy Shabbat and our closeness with G-d.
May the Jewish spirit and its Divine Connection with G-d be reinforced in Israel and wherever Jews live in the world...
May G-d Bless and Protect His Land, Israel, and His Children, the Jewish people worldwide... and our loyal friends...
To my beloved G, my friends... mes amis, mes amours...:
SHABBAT SHALOM
Well, well, well...
Despicable minds think alike...?
So it seems...
And the more time goes by, the more the liberal, secular, godless, corrupt, leftist Israeli leadership distances themselves from the Jewish people and get closer with their spiritual partners, those who are promoters of savage terrorism...
It is good to see the crude reality for what it is...
And, G-d is watching... "Red Magen David, PA, Red Cross Agree: Israel is an "Occupier" "
B"H
As a devout Jew, I want to clarify that Israel is G-d's Land, there is NO NEED for anyone to recognize Israel. Israel exists and will continue to exist by the Grace of G-d.
So, I do not ask anyone anything regarding Israel.
There is nothing to add to it.
There is no one to ask for recognition.
Of all countries, Israel's borders were G-d Given.
ISRAEL IS G-D'S LAND AND HE GAVE IT TO HIS PEOPLE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE. PERIOD.
Shabbat shalom
