Chapter 35:
Chapter 35 - Attachment to materialism = death
FC with Daniel Aug.7.2007
I want to tell you all that a lot is happening all around us and people don't really want to take notice of what's going on. First of all, four young people were killed today, out of which three were Yeshiva students and one a married Yeshiva man. And how did they die? They were on a trip driving a Jeep. Yeshiva boys and a Yeshiva man out on a Jeep ride.
I ask you, what are Torah-learning men doing on a jeep-ride? What were they doing wasting their time on dangerous adventures? This is the behavior of non-Jews and people don't realize this. Again, they don't understand this.
I ask the families, the parents of these Yeshiva boys, is taking a trip on a Jeep appropriate for Torah-learning students? It's a good Yeshiva. Woe unto us, Woe unto us. (Oy lanu, Oy lanu).
And not just this, all those people who went on trips when it was so hot outside in the difficult weather - for what? For what? It is against the Torah for a person to risk his life in vain. You want to see the wonders of the Creator? Of course you should. But don't go crazy. Don't do the things the gentile people do. And don't do things that are dangerous.
Guest: Daniel, the four Yeshiva students were from Netanya. Why was it four people from the same place - Netanya?
Daniel: I can't answer that. But all of Am Yisrael must pay for this, because so many of us want it - the materialism and the non-Jewish lifestyle, the fast-life and the nonsense.
Another thing. A lot of things have been happening throughout the world, but before we get to that, there have been a lot of accidents. I would like to remind the Jews that lately there have been a lot of accidents and all sorts of unnatural deaths, specifically among the Ultra-Orthodox Jews.
I want to tell you all a (real) story that Rabbi Azriel Tauber, Shlita, told about a young Yeshiva student who found out, at the age of 20, that he was adopted and his biological parents were non-Jews. The young man went to his Rosh Yeshiva to ask him what he should do. The Rosh Yeshiva advised him to convert to Judaism. The young man replied that he wants to think about it and after a while, he decided that he did not want to convert.
Why did he make such a choice? With all of the 613 commandments and Halachot, he decided that the seven Mitzvos of Bnei Noach were enough for him to observe.
The Rosh Yeshiva was shocked that such a good student who used to be an enthusiastic learner would make such a decision. After all the Torah he had learned? He decided to do some research in his yeshiva. This is how he presented his question to his students: "If you were to suddenly discover that you are not Jewish, what would you do?"
Eighty percent of the students answered that they would leave Judaism and go live as Non-Jews!
Rabbi Tauber cried bitterly over this and it really is appalling.
He told this story to an audience of 5,000 women and added that he wasn't so sure that they (the women) would not have also come to the same decision.
Abba: When did this happen? (I couldn't believe what I was hearing!))
Daniel: During the nine days (last month).
Our first reaction would be to say, "That's not true. How could such a thing happen?" But truthfully, the way we are tied to materialism, the way we allow ourselves to go Jeep-riding and do things the Non-Jews do… we should definitely believe such a thing happened.
I just want to remind you, that in

There are signs that are telling us that the world is on the verge of collapse and I'm not just referring to the strange weather or the constant natural disasters that are increasing abnormally throughout the world.
Jews, Jews, open your eyes, we don't have time. Jews, Jews, there is great danger! You must repent and return to the truth, to the Creator of the World. Return to our Father in Heaven!

[Parts of] FC with Menachem
Introduction:
In a house in Me'a She'arim (in
About a year ago, Daniel resided there for two weeks and that's when I first met this family.
Lately, every Motzei Shabbos, FC is held there and even though some of the things said below are meant for these righteous women, I thought it appropriate to add them on to our website, Dani18. It's possible that people will not be able to understand and elate to everything the autistic people said.
Menachem:
The Redemption is very near but the amount of time there is between now and until the Moshiach comes is very little by the clock but very much by the suffering.
And all those who do not understand and do not want to understand, will be punished and will cease to exist. Because there is no such a thing today as a person who does not understand - everyone has the option of understanding because it is obvious to every Jew who stood at
One cannot walk around 'naked' (immodest) in the street
And one cannot go 'naked' to the synagogue
and one cannot go 'naked' to the Western Wall and other holy places.
Whoever does not understand such a simple, basic thing,
was not present at
Whoever does not understand that a Jew needs to be holy, was not present at
Whoever is prepared to do unholy acts, even if outwardly, he appears to be G-d fearing, he was not present at Mount Sinai; he did not receive the Torah with the other Jews at
All the Jews that were present at
Q. And what about those who are 'in between'?
A. Jews that are somewhere in the middle, between righteous and evil, if they don't repent they will be lost.
This doesn't mean that people must be perfect. It means that they must realize that they are not perfect and that they still have a long way to go. They have a long way to go till perfection and they must now start taking the steps necessary to reach this goal.
'Slowly' is not good enough anymore. People must now go as fast as they possibly can. They must realize that every moment they wait is dangerous for them because all of a sudden the Redemption will come and they'll still be taking their time, enjoying the view…
Now, everyone must quickly start doing teshuva and rectify whatever they feel needs to be rectified, whatever is wrong and not according to the way of Hashem.
And now, there is no time left. There is simply no time…
…The air in this world is full of impurity; just breathing it in already fills a person with impurity.
And I will tell you all another thing; whatever happens, a time will come when in any case it will be much safer to remain at home. Moreover, until Moshiach comes there will be a situation of great fear, of war, destruction and death and the people who remain in their homes will have better chances of survival.
Now, the people who leave their homes less often and are making an effort to come closer to Hashem and also keep their children more at home away from the spiritually polluted streets full of immodesty and immorality; these people will certainly merit receiving the Moshiach.
And all those who took upon themselves the act of modesty, it is a good start and it is the sign we spoke about; the sign that will save you and your homes when the angel of death passes over the houses.
These modest clothes will be the most elegant spiritual clothes worn in Beis Hamikdash.
Listen very carefully,
At
Hashem is going to make things happen that will be by far more terrifying than a mountain being held above the people's heads.
But the Jews and the whole world have sunk to such a low level, that it will still not be terrifying enough and most of the people will prefer the materialism, the gashmius, lo aleinu (G-d Forbid).
They will expect a savior to come such as the American army, the British, the Russians or whoever. Maybe they'll think this is all just a movie and at some stage it will end.
But they won't understand what's really happening; they won't pray and repent.
Whole countries will be destroyed and not necessarily by atomic bombs.
We are going to see incredible things soon, tremendous miracles, but very few people will understand what is happening and feel frightened enough to want to repent.
Most people have grown so far from Hashem that they don't even know what repentance is. They don't know to whom they are supposed to return and how. Because of this, the situation we face is going to be very difficult and frightening.
(Summary - said to the women of the Tehillim groups that were present at the sessions)
Women, be temimos (- innocent - pure & simple in following Hashem), raise your children to have temimus - purity and simplicity, and try to fulfill the Will of Hashem.
Those of you who are really making efforts, continue and work very hard, come together and unite.
Stop talking about one another; take away all the dividers that come between you and Hashem. Hashem hates them so much.
Become a true example for others; not just in modesty, but also in matters of 'bein adam lechavero' - the commandments related to the way people act with others.
Hashem will save you and protect you and not let you suffer from everything that will happen. But you must preserve the modesty, the innocence and the friendliness with each other.
Chapter 36 b
FC with Ahrah'leh:
I want to tell all of you who have accepted upon yourselves whatever mitzvahs or spiritual advancements (like in modesty) for the sake of Heaven (the women present dress the way women dressed in the 18th century, i.e. shawls, wide long skirts, etc.):
To the women who are trying to advance in modesty, I give you a blessing that it should be authentic and that you should only continue to grow higher and higher in the levels of modesty. But don't forget about Am Yisrael (the Jewish people), because Am Yisrael needs help. And it cannot be that you advance higher and higher and just forget about the people and leave them behind.
Every woman who accepts upon herself the act of advancing in modesty must also take the time to help others advance.
You must turn to the people. Each woman must go and look for the chance to help another woman in some way or another.
We must not close ourselves off.
Chapter 36c
FC with Shimon July.28.2007
Read about the history of the first and second
So, if we are on an even lower level, what does that tell you? And we, too, will see great miracles. But will we realize that they are indeed miracles? That is the real question, unfortunately.
Therefore, I will emphasize what Ahrah'leh said: we must try to save as many Jews as possible. I'm not saying we will be successful but we have to at least try.
I want you all, to really think about the history of the Jews during the times of the
But things did happen. There were constant ups and downs in the security situation, just like today; things get better, then things get worse until it gets quiet again. Then there is danger until things get quiet again. This is how it went on until the final explosion. Back then the explosion was the destruction of the
When the 'explosion' happens in our time people will say, "We didn't know…But it's all a lie, it cannot be"...
That's just what happened back then; the prophets spoke and spoke, day and night. Every day they spoke and no one wanted to listen.
Even now Hashem is speaking to us and not just through the Autistic people; He gives us signs through all sorts of disasters and tragedies from every direction. Personal disasters, lo aleinu (May we never know of such things) as well as natural disasters. Strange things are happening everywhere and the world is plagued with all sorts of wars. He warns us and warns us. He even sent us warnings through films about all kinds of 'end-of-the-world' type stories that have become so popular nowadays.
It is impossible not to hear about this. Anyone who is not religious, or even the Jews who have drifted from the right path can sit in front of their screens and seek out the prophecies of the tzaddikim.
If one does not do this then he alone is to blame for what happens to him.
Chapter 36d
Shimon:
(To the women) You spoke about love of the Jewish people and love of Hashem. In this generation, where so many Jews have gone away from the path of religion, including some so called Chareidim - Ultra-Orthodox Jews (they appear outwardly to be religious but they are really not doing the will of Hashem), ahavas Yisrael - love for the Jewish people is most important. And how can it be expressed in such a generation? It can by expressed through the efforts we make to help other Jews repent and do teshuva as much as possible even amongst the so called 'chareidim' as well as the rest of the Jewish people who are not observing the laws of the Torah.
How successful you are is not what matters. Even if you succeeded in helping only one Jew to repent, that is a whole world. But if with all your efforts, not even one Jew repents, at least you will have saved yourself. Why? Because you are trying with all your might to save Am Yisrael. Why are you trying so hard? Because you love the Jewish people.
It doesn't matter how much people try to get away from you and to ignore your words, how many shout at you or how embarrassed people make you feel. All that matters is that you must try to save Am Yisrael.
It's like a lake; the people in the lake are drowning and crying out for help. There even people who are not crying out; they don't even realize that they are drowning but we still have to save them, or at least try to save them.
How could we live with ourselves if we saw people who were in danger, a very great danger, an eternal danger, G-d Forbid, and we did not try to pull them out of the water? We don't have to go into the water with them, but we do have to quickly find a stick, a life-saver or something to pull them out. That is our duty.
This week, three major events took place and each one had signification:
First, there were the big scandals in the Israeli courts - the justice system is starting to fall apart. The whole court system is symbolic of the lies - it makes the Jewish people turn cold and heartless and turn away from Hashem.
The second event was the fall of the housing company, Cheftsibah that went bankrupt leaving many families without homes they prepaid for. This tragedy symbolizes the corruption of the secular and Ultra-Orthodox business dealers and in general the corrupted attitude so many Yeshiva men have adapted today; they are too attached to the gashmius - materialism.
The third tragedy was the fall of the bridge in
If you (to the women present) think that by the modest way you are dressing, you can prevent the war, this is not so. The war must take place. But your modesty is the protection.
For it is written clearly in the prophecies that Edom must be completely destroyed and in general, most of the world will suffer in some way and be damaged by this upcoming, difficult war.
And in general, you should try to get others to repent so that the Jewish people will survive this war.
I want to tell you all that very soon, people will be so afraid that they will be searching for anything they can use to cover themselves with for protection.
Chapter 36e
FC with Menachem Aug.04.2007
Shimon is too gentle, he is very sweet.
But let me point out another side to this issue:
Yes, yes, of course there must be a war, there is no question! And of course you have to work hard to repent and help others repent. That is your whole service of Hashem now. Do you think you have shawls to wear over your heads for nothing? And a shawl to wear on your shoulders for nothing?
It is a merit for you that you get to be the first women in this generation who have returned to this custom.
And your duty is to get as many people as possible to repent.
This is going to be a most difficult war and every Jew that does real teshuva; his kedusha (holiness) will protect him and his family.
When the angel of death goes over the houses we will see where the holiness will come from. And that will protect and save the Jews.
And so, this is now the time of the Redemption.
It is now the beginning of the final stage of the Redemption. Next week won't be an easy week. It won't be an easy week at all.
It's another phase; another phase to the collapsing of the sheker, the deceptions of this world.
That is all; I have nothing more to say.
Chapter 36f
FC with Menachem Aug.11.2007
Each person has their own unique rectifications that they must go through and do.
It's difficult to go pray at the Western Wall but it's important that you (to the women) be seen. It's important for you to cry with the Shechina, the Divine Presence.
Whoever can handle the difficulty must go to the Kosel to join together with the Shechina, to weep together with the Shechina.
It is important that people see you; that they see something holy and sacred.
Go there if you can. Don't pay attention to others; let them pay attention to you. It would be a tremendous rectification for you and others if you are capable of going because you are letting people who are not connected to holiness, who are filled with impurity have the opportunity to see something holy.
With G-d's help, your going to the Kosel to cry with the Shechina might make an impression on other people. If people stop you to talk with you, you should talk with them.
A person must fight for Hashem. But, as I said, if one does not have that capability, then not.
Chapter 36 g
Lipi Aug.11.2007
I want to say to you all that you really should listen to our words. Repent right away and make amends with the people you have had problems with. At least ask them for forgiveness so that you will have done your part and get yourselves ready for the complete Redemption.
You must cleanse yourself inwardly and outwardly.
Clean your houses, clean your hearts, clean your heads, your minds, and your brains.
Focus all your desires on serving Hashem and nothing else.
Make sure you are clean inside. Don't get angry about anything because every thing, every person that causes us grief is a messenger from Hashem to test us, to see how we react. When things happen between two people, we are tested to see how we will react; do we accept is as humble people who nullify themselves before G-d or do we get angry and want revenge.
Chapter 36 h
FC with Shimon Aug.11.2007
Everyone must now do real teshuva. You must rectify all your weak spots, including: jealousy, the desires for things we don't have that others do, feelings of despair sympathy for ourselves, all of our dealings with immodest clothing although we should also not waste too much time dealing with even clothes that are modest.
In general, we must not let ourselves become too involved in dealing with things that bear no importance to a person and to the soul.
Pray a lot and say a lot of Tehillim (Psalms).
And don't forget that the world was created for us, in order to turn us into complete creations.
What exactly is the completeness, no one knows. Only Hashem knows. That is the final goal, for this stage, at least.
In order to be worthy of reaching that final goal, we have to change ourselves, so we will be worthy of the completeness.
And that is all we need to remember. That and nothing else. It's very simple. There is no way to get mixed up, unless we do not want this completeness, G-d Forbid.
If we specifically want to stay attached to this world, then we will never succeed in reaching the completeness, G-d Forbid. But whoever really wants to get to Hashem's final purpose and goal for us, with Hashem's help, they will be successful.
Again, the righteous ones will not suffer.
An evil person suffers fro m holiness. If we give an evil person "man" (manna) to eat for a whole year, he will suffer greatly. He will not have pleasures from the food. It will not be sufficient that the man can taste like a whip-cream cake; he will also want the texture of a whip-cream cake, the smell and so on.
But a righteous person will be happy to have spiritual food, food that is completely digestible and there would be no problem of sometimes having to be impure. The person's thoughts could be constantly involved with holiness without any interruptions. This also helps the person to advance spiritually.
In our world, now, most people, unfortunately, May G-d have mercy, want the pleasures of this world much more than the spiritual pleasures. They are so caught up with their passions and desires that they don't even have the free will to be able to change anymore. They have no desire to change, May Hashem have mercy.
So, I say again, do whatever you can now (to repent and leave behind the materialism), because afterwards if you will need to repent for anything, it will be with great suffering.
The suffering will be the worst and the hardest during the last forty five days. It will be easy only for those who do teshuva.
From here on, we will give messages, once a week. You can ask us questions only if something happens [in the world].
And there will be no more questions and answers, even through the website on the internet. Just our messages.
