Almost exactly a year ago, Rabbi Berland was brutally arrested by Israeli police at his dawn minyan.
His crime?
Doing pidyon nefesh – ‘redemptions of the soul’.
Something that has been an accepted part of authentic Judaism for centuries.
====
When that happened back at the beginning of February, it set up a massive test for the orthodox Jewish world.
If a person could argue that maybe there was something to the allegations the first time around – because the media and the government and the evil people in Meah Shearim who’d concocted them did a fabulous job of fooling a lot of people – this time around, that definitely wasn’t the case.
Where’s the ‘crime’, in people voluntarily giving money to a rabbi, a tzaddik, who they believe can help them to sweeten the terrible suffering they were experiencing?
This time around, the situation was set up to enable as many people in the orthodox world as possible to ‘see through’ all the lies about what was going on with the Rav, and to start to take a stand for real justice, and to call out the police and the State of Israel and the media for their rampant anti-Jewish, anti-semitic actions and stance.
Guess what?
The orthodox world failed the test.
====
Not only did it fail to condemn the anti-semitism of the police, State of Israel and media, it then compounded the error by handing down a ‘judgment’ in Beit Din against the Rav and his community – which was made in total contravention of even the basic halachot of how a Beit Din is meant to function.
There was only one witness.
And the Rav wasn’t able to testify on his own behalf.
And there were a whole bunch of other ‘irregularities’ too.
But that didn’t stop a whole bunch of people with prior biases against the Rav, and and against Shuvu Banim, and also against Breslov itself, from pointing to this ‘judgment’ and proudly proclaiming that ‘daas Torah has spoken!!!!’
Now, you’ve got a rabbinic seal of approval, to join in with the anti-semitic, anti-Jewish ‘Rav bashing’ crowd, headed up by the horrible police!!!
And a lot of people really went to town on the Rav then, and his Shuvu Banim community.
====
Kids were kicked out of their schools.
Members of the Shuvu Banim community were ostracised and shamed.
And the Rav – the poor Rav – he was stuck in maximum security prisons in awful conditions, while the State of Israel has continued to torture him, deny him basic food and medical needs – and I heard an unconfirmed rumor that they have even forcibly given him the ‘vaccine’, lo alenu.
====
During all this time, where was the ‘orthodox leadership’?
Where were the ‘orthodox politicians’?
Where were the protests against all this awful corruption and anti-semitism?
Where was the heartfelt teshuva, that maybe the orthodox community had got things wrong about the Rav and Shuvu Banim, and that really, the were just the canary in the coalmine, warning the rest of us about what was lurking behind the scenes?
====
That corrupt ‘Beit Din’ was held in Bnei Brak.
That same Bnei Brak has been in the news the last couple of days, because the brutal, anti-semitic Israeli police have been ‘cracking down’ on supposed ‘coronavirus violations’:
====
Just as they ‘cracked down’ a year ago on supposed ‘financial irregularities’, with the Rav and his community.
You can see the video of the Rav being violently arrested – and his followers being violently beaten up by the Israeli police HERE, on the ‘Yeshiva World News’ website.
It’s so similar to the videos now coming out of Bnei Brak – and Montreal, and Stamford Hill, where one orthodox community after another is now being violently ‘policed’ for the sin of continuing to live a Jewish life.
All this is so clearly midda kneged midda.
====
Let’s just take a look at some of the comments that were made online when the Rav was arrested again, last February.
This from the horrible propaganda tool, the Jpost:
First of all: you’re guilty of clueless behavior if you turn to religious hoaxers for medical (or otherwise professional) advice. Second: just cram his behind in a slammer until he croaks there. Useless, little humanoid.
====
Remember the idea that you accuse others of what you yourself are guilty of?
This sentence is really standing out to me now, in the light of everything that’s gone on over the last year, with ‘Covid 19’:
You’re guilty of clueless behavior if you turn to religious hoaxers for medical advice.
Remember that flurry of ‘rabbis’ (again, many based in Bnei Brak) who suddenly appeared to pressure the haredi world into becoming human guinea pigs for a totally untested, experimental ‘vaccine’? And how many poor souls believed them, and did it unquestioningly?
Midda kneged midda.
====
I was going to bring some of the comments from the ‘Yeshiva World News’ website, too, about the Rav and his community, but they are so disgusting, I won’t.
Yes, that same ‘Yeshiva World News’ website that I wrote this post about, last year:
====
Right now, there is more ‘anti chareidi’ incitement going on across the media in Israel.
It’s a tried-and-true formula that we saw play out in World War II:
- Accuse the religious Jews of ‘spreading diseases’ by living in close-knit communities (or ‘ghettos’) while still committing the ‘sin’ of having large families.
- Demonise the religious Jews with a concerted propaganda campaign that states they are harming ‘greater society’ by their continued adherence to ‘superstitious practices’ like continuing to pray with a minyan, and continuing to get married, and continuing to breathe fresh air as much as possible.
- Use State institutions like the police to start to beat up religious Jews, and treat them like ‘sub human beings’ who don’t have the same rights as everyone else.
- Plant agent provacateurs in the religious Jewish community who set buses and trams on fire, so that you can run more stories about ‘violent, out-of-control charedim’, to excuse the ever-escalating police violence against their communities.
- You can see where this heading, God forbid…
Unless we all start to make some serious teshuva, now.
====
Here’s the thing:
Ultimately, the Rav and the people connected to the Rav, even in a small capacity, will somehow get through all this madness in one piece.
How can I state that so clearly?
Simple.
To be ‘connected to the Rav’ at this point, means that at least on some level, you’ve already seen through all the lies, and the fakers and the evil that is now creating this miserable ‘Covid-19’ world for us all.
You already know that all these news sites, even the so-called ‘religious’ ones, are bought and paid for by evil anti-semites with an agenda to uproot yiddishkeit and Torah.
You already know that so many of our ‘rabbis’ and leaders are totally corrupt.
You already know that most of what we’re told is ‘true’ by out politicians and community figures and academics and doctors is just a self-serving, manipulative lie.
If you already know all this, you aren’t running for a ‘vaccine’, and you aren’t buying into the fear porn, and you have some store of emuna, deep down, that all this will turn around for the best very soon.
====
And that’s just for starters.
If you’re connecting to the Rav and following his advice to pray certain things, recite certain segulot, read certain things, get up for chatzot – you also have the merit of all those prayers and your emunat tzaddikim to stand for you, too, going forward.
The more a person connects to the Rav, the easier this whole difficult process becomes.
====
And on the other side of the fence?
Well, I honestly fear for a lot of people in the orthodox Jewish world right now.
I fear for all those people who wrote that Shuvu Banim are ‘animals’ who deserve to get ‘run over by the police’, God forbid.
I fear for all those people who waved that fake daas Torah around as their heter to start slagging the Rav off, publically, and who screamed what a shonda Shuvu Banim people are.
They are giving the whole Jewish community a bad name!!! They are making us look a laughing stock in the eyes of the secular people!!!
====
There’s one particular yucky commentator on the YWN website (who may well be a paid shill for the side of evil) who calls himself ‘Gadol HaDor’.
The comments he has made about the Rav and his community in the past can’t even be repeated. But I thought you’d be interested in what he posted under the video of those poor chareidim in Montreal, being violently attacked by the police there:
What is there about NO, they don’t understand. Even the local community federation apparently begged them to obey the public health guidelines and to STAY HOME but to no avail. In the video, they look like a bunch of rats escaping a sinking ship while empowering the local anti-semites. Well done.
When he was publically equating Shuvu Banim to ‘vermin’, did you agree with him?
And now he’s equating other chareidi Jews to vermin, do you still agree with him?
And when anti-semites the world over follow his lead, and start equating all and any Jews to ‘vermin’ – are you still going to agree with him, then?
====
The Torah world has so much teshuva it needs to make.
And the clock is ticking down.
The Rav is still imprisoned, in terrible conditions of forced isolation and criminal neglect.
They are mamash trying to kill him.
There is no case against him. Even the police reached an agreement to release him last month – but it was quashed ‘from the top’.
Armilus knows who the Rav really is, and knows that when he gets out, this whole ‘Covid-19’ nightmare will start to unravel.
But in the meantime, the same tactics they used to crush the Rav and Shuvu Banim are now being rolled out to Bnei Brak, Stamford Hill, Jerusalem, Montreal and beyond.
If the Jewish community doesn’t make some serious teshuva, very soon, the midda kneged midda will only continue.
And don’t think that it’s only frum Jews who should be concerned.
This will continue to spiral out and out and out – and whatever ‘punishment’ people were calling down on the heads of the Rav and Shuvu Banim, is what God will serve up to them – unless they make some serious teshuva.
====
That’s already happening, btw.
The people who put their faith in ‘doctors’, and in the people who told them that doing a pidyon nefesh was superstitious nonsense, were undoubtedly the first in line to get stabbed in the arm with the ‘vaccine’.
Midda kneged midda.
But everything can still be turned around for the good, and sweetened, in the blink of an eye.
All it takes is some humility, some genuine introspection, and a willingness to admit that we were wrong, we were fooled, we were duped.
That’s it.
May Hashem help us all to do what’s required, to get geula the sweet way, without more terrible suffering.
====
UPDATE:
You can see footage HERE that shows that at least some of these ‘violent’ demonstrators in Bnei Brak are not locals, and probably not even religious Jews.
I really think whoever set the bus on fire in Bnei Brak are paid agent provacateurs – the same idea behind Antifa – who are being drafted in to perpetrate violent acts that the State of Israel can then blame on the ‘chareidim’, and use to justify increasing force and violence against the frum community.
Heads up!
Don’t let them ‘divide and conquer’ us again!
====
UPDATE #2:
So, here’s some more stuff that’s starting to bring out how this corrupt, anti-Jewish government is operating to paint religious Jews as ‘violent extremists’ that need to be ‘cracked down’.
First with that bus burning in Bnei Brak: residents tried to get a fire engine to come and extinguish the blaze for 30 minutes – but the Fire Department refused to come, saying that they were scared they’d be ‘attacked’.
This is just such obvious BS, it’s hard to know how anyone can even believe it.
I know the ‘crazies’ in frum neighborhoods.
They push over bins and set them alight – a lot, even.
BUT they don’t do stuff that could seriously hurt or kill other people, like setting a bus alight with someone in it.
This is a government-sponsored blood libel.
====
And CO-IN-CI-DEN-TAL-LY, just as this ‘bus burning’ was taking place in Bnei Brak, my daughter tells me that another ‘bus burning’ apparently happened in Bat Ayin – the yishuv that the murdered Ahuvya Sandek came from.
Conveniently, there are no images of what happened – and who did it – from the many cameras set up all over the Bat Ayin yishuv.
And I know a lot of people in Bat Ayin, and it’s just not something the people there would do. Half the yishuv rely on the buses to get in and out to Jerusalem, and don’t have cars. Why would they choose to attack a bus?
On the very same day that this other ‘bus burning’ occurred in Bnei Brak?
People, the evil government is trying to play us off against each other again – don’t fall for it!
They want us to see ‘the other’ as ‘violent extremists’, so they can justify their excessive use of force and discrimination.
Don’t fall for it!!!
We need to band together, more than at any other time, and to understand that the people burning buses etc ARE NOT COMING FROM WITHIN THESE COMMUNITIES.
They are agent provacateurs, who work for the State of Israel.
====
And lastly, one of my readers just sent me this link, which appears to be a new detention centre being built right in the middle of Tel Aviv’s HaYarkon Park:
====
I had my Hebrew speaking daughter check this out, before posting it here.
The ‘official story’ is that this is being built in connection with the new tram system being built in Tel Aviv.
This is why I don’t buy the ‘official story’:
- They’ve been in the process of building the tram in Tel Aviv for approaching three years already. Why build that structure now?
- There are plenty of empty office spaces in Tel Aviv right now. Why go to the trouble of expense of building a totally new building complex like this?
- Usually, building sites in Israel just use caravans, which they then dismantle and move to the next building site. Why build something ‘permanent’ like this?
- Why build it on one of Tel Aviv’s very rare ‘green spaces’ – right in the middle of Park HaYarkon?
- Who on earth is meant to be living in something like that? And if you tell me ‘construction workers’ – construction workers live in caravans and / or the buildings they are building.
I’ve never seen a structure like that being built for any other construction site in Israel, and I’ve seen a lot of building going on here, all over the country, the last 15 years.
====
We have to stop believing the government’s lies, and stop telling ourselves the State of Israel is on our side.
It’s totally corrupt.
It’s not a ‘Jewish’ State, it’s an anti-Jewish Sabbatean-Frankist State with a very evil agenda to destroy Torah Judaism.
And with each day that passes, that’s becoming more and more obvious.
====
UPDATE #3:
Apparently detention camps for ‘Covid rebels’ is not just an Israeli idea.
No less a place than Germany is also drawing up plans to repurpose their refugee camps into Covid detention centres:
GERMANY’S worst Covid rule breakers will be held in detention centres under new proposals being drawn up by a number of state governments.
Birds of a feather flock together….
Whatever they are building in Park HaYarkon, it’s almost certainly NOT got anything to do with the tram.
