Parsha Beresheis
This year I have
Wednesday Afternoon to Friday Publication to do all of our first section of
Sefer Beresheis (Book of Genesis) 1:1 – 6:8 with the initial creation of the
Universe and all that is within, what happened in Gan Eden, where did the wives
of Kayn and Hevel come from, murder, Chanoch (Enoch) becoming the Arch-Angel
Metatron, Fallen Angels with daughters of men and giant offspring, Tuval Kayn
and weapons of war, Adams skin coat, and various legends in the Midrash and
Zohar (100’s of pages in English to condense); I promised once and for all to
put the time period of six days vs. thirteen billion five hundred million years
into the proper frame work. If one has the time, the archives of my yearly
Beresheis Drasha are available on the right side and one can go back to see
what I wrote starting with: https://rabbipauli.blogspot.com/2008/10
And the Lubavitcher
Rebbe with his at least MS in Engineering writing:
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/112083/jewish/Theories-of-Evolution.htm
That was my first shot
attempt to explain what I am about to explain now while in Oct. 2009 – 2024 are
the missing commentaries. This year I start out differently going back to
myself 60 years ago.
60 years ago, I entered City College of
New York as an agnostic wanting to make my mark in the world. I believed in a
13,500,000,000 year old Universe, a 4,500,000,000 year old earth, Darwin and
perhaps the infallibility of science. After four years, I left College a
believer in Creation, dimensions beyond time and space with no evolution but
stages.
There are lots of questions that remain
unanswered in conventional science as I shall show below but first a standard
reading of the Torah with Rashi and my comments and then further analysis. This
year I only cover the first chapter as I try to dismantle current science into
a six day creation.
Should the scientific questioning of
time period of years vs. 24 hour days become too tedious please skip down to
the other Torah Commentary and Story.
GENESIS OR BERESHEIS (Hebrew): 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Rashi comments as follows: In the beginning: Said
Rabbi Isaac: It was not necessary to begin the Torah except from “This month is
to you,” (Exod.
12:2) which is the first commandment that the Israelites
were commanded, (for the main purpose of the Torah is its commandments, and
although several commandments are found in Genesis, e.g., circumcision and the
prohibition of eating the thigh sinew, they could have been included together
with the other commandments). Now for what reason did He commence with “In the
beginning?” Because of [the verse] “The strength of His works He related to His
people, to give them the inheritance of the nations” (Ps. 111:6).
For if the nations of the world should say to Israel, “You are robbers, for you
conquered by force the lands of the seven nations [of Canaan],” they will
reply, "The entire earth belongs to the Holy One, blessed be He; He
created it (this we learn from the story of the Creation) and gave it to
whomever He deemed proper When He wished, He gave it to them, and when He
wished, He took it away from them and gave it to us.
In
the beginning of God’s creation of: Heb.
בְּרֵאשִית בָּרָא. This verse calls for
a Midrashic interpretation [because according to its simple interpretation, the
voxelization of the word בָּרָא, should be different,
as Rashi explains further]. It teaches us that the sequence of the Creation as
written is impossible, as is written immediately below] as our Rabbis stated
(Letters of R. Akiva , letter “Beth” ; Gen. Rabbah 1:6; Lev. Rabbah 36:4): [God
created the world] for the sake of the Torah, which is called (Prov. 8:22):
“the beginning of His way,” and for the sake of Israel, who are called (Jer. 2:3)
“the first of His grain.” But if you wish to explain it according to its simple
meaning, explain it thus: “At the beginning of the creation of heaven and
earth, the earth was astonishing with emptiness, and darkness…and God said,
‘Let there be light.’” But Scripture did not come to teach the sequence of the
Creation, to say that these came first, for if it came to teach this, it should
have written: “At first (בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה)
He created the heavens and the earth,” for there is no רֵאשִׁית
in Scripture that is not connected to the following word, [i.e., in the
construct state] like (ibid. 27:1):“In the beginning of (בְּרֵאשִית)
the reign of Jehoiakim” ; (below 10:10)“the beginning of (רֵאשִׁית) his reign” ; (Deut. 18:4)“the
first (רֵאשִׁית) of your corn.” Here too, you say בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אלֹהִים, like בְּרֵאשִׁית בְּרֹא, in the beginning of creating. And similar
to this is ,“At the beginning of the Lord’s speaking (דִּבֶּר)
to Hosea,” (Hos.
1:2), i.e., at the beginning of the speaking (דִּבּוּרוֹ) of the Holy One, Blessed be He, to Hosea,
“the Lord said to Hosea, etc.” Now if you say that it came to teach that these
(i.e., heaven and earth) were created first, and that its meaning is: In the
beginning of all, He created these-and that there are elliptical verses that
omit one word, like (Job 3:10):
“For [He] did not shut the doors of my [mother’s] womb,” and it does not
explain who it was who shut [the womb]; and like (Isa. 8:4):
“he will carry off the wealth of Damascus,” and it does not explain who will
carry it off; and like (Amos 6:12):
“or will one plow with cattle,” and it does not explain: “if a man will plow
with cattle” ; and like (Isa. 46: 10): “telling the end from the beginning,”
and it does not explain that [it means] telling the end of a matter from the
beginning of a matter-if so, [if you say that Scripture indicates the order of
creation] be astounded at yourself, for the water preceded, as it is written:
“and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the water,” and Scripture did
not yet disclose when the creation of water took place! From this you learn
that the water preceded the earth. Moreover, the heavens were created from fire
and water. Perforce, you must admit that Scripture did not teach us anything
about the sequence of the earlier and the later [acts of creation].
God’s
creation of the heavens and the earth: But it does not say “of the Lord’s creation of” (i.e., it should
say “of the Lord God’s creation of” as below 2:4 “on the day that the Lord God
made earth and heaven”) for in the beginning it was His intention to create it
with the Divine Standard of Justice, but he perceived that the world would not
endure; so He preceded it with the Divine Standard of Mercy, allying it with
the Divine Standard of Justice, and that is the reason it is written: “on the
day the Lord God made earth and heaven.”
This
is the Chabad translation and I intend in the book to use a translation with an
expired copy-write. I will probably bring down the various attribute and angels
of G-D arguing against creation of a physical world to try to match the
heavenly kingdom. Since I was born about 1000 or more years after my forefather
Rabbi Yitzchaki, from my own religious standpoint, I have no need to learn of
the physical creation of the world. As a former scientist and engineer it is my
pleasure to learn this.
As
both a scientist/engineer I have to find a solution that matches the Torah and
science to explain the creation of the planet earth and before photons could
over-come the antiphotons so that there would be light.
We
ended the last paragraph with the word “implosion” and I intend to explain the
creation of the planet earth within the first day for the 5786 year-old
universe.
Deriving the heavier elements from the big bang.
At first, Gamow believed that all the elements might be produced in the very
high temperature and density early stage of the universe. Later, he revised
this opinion on the strength of compelling evidence advanced by Fred Hoyle et al.
that elements heavier than lithium are largely produced in thermonuclear reactions
in stars and in supernovae. Gamow formulated a
set of coupled differential equations describing his proposed process and
assigned, as a PhD. dissertation topic, his graduate student Ralph Alpher the
task of solving the equations numerically. These results of Gamow and Alpher
appeared in 1948 as the Alpher–Bethe–Gamow paper Before his interest turned to the question of
the genetic code, Gamow published about twenty papers on cosmology. The
earliest was in 1939 with Edward Teller on galaxy formation, followed in 1946
by the first description of cosmic nucleosynthesis. He also wrote many popular
articles as well as academic textbooks on this and other subjects. The
creation of heavier elements from super nova was needed to complete the
formation of the planet earth.
Remembering
Susskind’s ‘lumps’ in the initial ‘cosmic soup’ as scientists call it. One lump
here and there might have been enough during this time to form a supernova.
From these supernovas spread out across the galaxy the elements of carbon,
iron, silicon, oxygen and nitrogen formed along with much heavier elements to
the natural occurring uranium and those elements that break down over the
course of minutes or years. One such supernova produced enough heavier elements
that spawn out into empty space at zero degrees K would condense quick enough
via gravity and magnetic attraction to form a body in space called earth or
Aretz in Hebrew. After speaking to Dr. of Chemistry and Rabbi Elihu
Schatz Shlita, he told me that I did not need a solid primeval earth but a
molten earth with a steam and gas atmosphere. This matches perfectly the 3000 K
Universe of Dr. Stephen Weinstein after the first three minutes. The
elements that were gaseous would be attracted to form an atmosphere and the H2O
thrown out would by the second day condense into water.
2 Now the earth was unformed and
void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered
over the face of the waters.
Astonishingly empty: Heb. תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ. The word תֹהוּ
is an expression of astonishment and desolation, that a person wonders and is
astonished at the emptiness therein.
Astonishingly empty: Astordison in Old French;
[étourdissement in modern French], astonishment. בֹהוּ
an expression of emptiness and desolation. (This does not appear in all
editions.)
בֹהוּ: an expression of emptiness and desolation. (This does not
appear in all editions.)
on the face of the deep: on the face of the
waters which were on the earth.
And the spirit of God was hovering: The Throne
of Glory was suspended in the air and hovered over the face of the water with
the breath of the mouth of the Holy One, blessed be He and with His word, like
a dove, which hovers over the nest, acoveter in Old French, to cover, hover
over.
3 And God said: 'Let there be
light.' And there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from
the darkness.
And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated: Here too, we need the words of the Aggadah: He saw it that it
was not proper for the wicked to use it; so, He separated it for the righteous
in the future. According to its simple meaning, explain it as follows: He saw
it that it was good, and it was unseemly that it [light] and darkness should
serve in confusion; so He established for this one its boundary by day, and for
that one its boundary by night.
5 And God called the light Day, and
the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one
day.
One day: According
to the sequence of the language of the chapter, it should have been written,
“the first day,” as it is written regarding the other days, “second, third,
fourth.” Why did Scripture write “one”? Because the Holy One, blessed be He,
was the only one in His world, for the angels were not created until the second
day. [i.e., יוֹם אֶחָד is understood as ‘the
day of the only One’] So is it explained in Genesis Rabbah (3:8).
Now
for the scientific explanation with in inclusion of the L-RD G-D as CREATOR.
The L-RD is existing and thinking of a plan to take care of the darkness and
void of space. According to the Midrash, the who creation took 1000 years of
planning and thought. First came the attributes and the Angels. Attributes are
for example love, charity, glory, justice, mercy, compassion, etc. Then came
the thought power creating a universe in a holy plan called Torah.
Scientifically,
the whole universe was created from a thought and compacted mass the size of a
pea with a temperature inside of one with 43 zeroes Kelvin with 0 K is absolute
zero where everything is frozen. After the initial planning, the big bang was
ready to happen with Yehi Ohr (let there be light).
Dr.
Weinstein ends his first section of the first three minutes with the comment.
After a few minutes the Universe has expanded and is now a few light years in
circumference.
We
shall stop here and look at physics slapping itself in the face. The Hebrew
word is Stirah which means contradiction or slap in the face. In the late
1800’s Albert Michaelson measured the speed of light to be 186,000 miles or
300,000 kilometers per second. According to the laws of Albert Einstein nothing
can travel faster than the speed of light.
A
light year is calculated as follows: 300,000 meters’ x 60 seconds to a minute x
60 seconds to an hour x 24 hours’ x 365.25 days in a year. Now if nothing goes
faster than the speed of light how do we get a universe that expands to a few
light years in a few minutes?
We
shall learn about the 11 dimensions of string theory later. In 1966 CE, I was
an agnostic Reform Jew investigating the physics behind ESP (Extra Sensory
Perception – predictions, prophecy or what you would like to call it.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, the discoverer of the Neutrino was corresponding
with the Psychologist Carl Jung and the Kabbalist Gershom Scholem on this very
subject before he passed away.) I do not know if String Theory existed then and
I only learned about 11 dimensions of Professor John Henry Schwarz in the late
1970’s from “Scientific American”. Einstein proposed Time to be the 4th
dimension over the standard three length, width and height. In 1923 Klein
proposed ‘Klein’s Bottle’ with a 5th Dimension.
In a
relatively recent publication, Dr. Yoram Har Lev of Tel Aviv University quoting
a paper of his: “This
work suggests a possible way to shed light on how our universe functions by
assuming that we are in a five-dimension universe (or more). Although the
five-dimensional Randell-Sundrum model avoids the necessity to consider all
current scientific theories, this five-dimensional universe hypothesis is more
natural and much simpler. Thus, he appears to we awakened to truer reality.}
Dr.
Yoram Har Lev in a different paper: Is the Universe 5 Dimensional? The idea of
a 5D Universe is not new. It was introduced in 1921 by Kaluza. Kaluza
established mathematical elements, field equations, equations of motion, stress
energy tensors etc.
… As expected the
establishment Philosophers and scientists rejected Kaluza’s ideas.
Dr.
Yoram Har Lev then proposes the 5D model to reflect reality. I prefer the 11D of Dr. John Schwartz.
For the wisdom of the ancients and Kabbala is a perspective that our standard
scientist rejects outright. I have seen and witnessed in various books stories
of near-death experiences matching descriptions in the Babylonian Talmud Moed
Katan that the non-Jew describing things could not have read. “Life After Life” by Dr. Raymond Moody M.D. and many
other authors.
Once
we have established in physics that there is a dimension above time, just like
in the three-dimensional world I can go back and forth in length and width and
by jumping or with a ladder or airplane conquer height, I theoretically could
go back and forth in time. I wrote this about 15 to 20 years ago with a female
Canadian Physicist and I forgot her name. She told me that some of the spaces
in between dimensions of an 11 or more-dimensional world were as small as de
Broglie Waves (waves of quantum matter discovered or proposed by Louis de
Broglie in 1924). That did not particularly bother me as I was not building a
time machine. I was studying ESP that had brain waves or something from the
human soul that could go back and forth in time. I have read and heard stories
of the Baal Shem Tov, Lubavitcher Rebbe and people with near death or out of
body experiences that could instantly travel from place to place or see the
future in a trancelike state. Some people experience a dream or premonition
that warns them or comes true. Others a parent or grandparent came to them in a
dream with advice.
With
pure logic I deduced that the earth of now where the dreamer or recipient of
the premonition is here and now in time and space. The earth, sun, galaxy and
cluster of galaxies are moving at such and such a speed. Assuming that an Edgar
Cayce, Jeanne Dixon or another anonymous individual did such a thing and many
were documented, this shows that something now has gone through space and time
and returned with information to our current space and time. I came to the
following conclusion that since the three-dimensional world was limited in
speed to that of the speed of light and our 4th dimension time was
only measurable to us here and now, there had to be a 5th or higher
dimension above time and three-dimensional space to support ESP (extra sensory
perception). This was done by Richard Pauli, the agnostic, sometime in August
1966. It bothered me so much that I decided to ask questions and challenge a
religious Jew with questions I had on Judaism. This eventually would lead me to
becoming a believing Jew, by Yehuda Himmelstein just before he was going to be
a Graduate Student at Columbia University. I was perhaps distracted by becoming
a religious Jew and my pro-USA stance on the Viet Nam war from becoming a
physicist but about 40 or so years later becoming Rabbi Rachamim Pauli. In my
spare time, I worked on improving my understanding of the physical and
theological aspects of creation.
I
proposed to myself two principles at that time:
The
Inclusion Principle.
When calculating time and space in the
physical world one must include dimensions above ordinary time and space as
viewed from a human standpoint.
The
Principle of Cosmic Unity.
That it was possible to be anywhere in time or
space instantly.
This
was for explaining ESP. I realized at that instant that I had discovered in
this unity. G-D of the few things that I had learned in Reform Judaism was the
sentence in Hebrew. Shema Yisrael HASHEM ELOKAYNU HASHEM Echad. (Hear O’ Israel
the L-RD our G-D the L-RD is one Deut. {Devarim} 6:4) Suddenly, I believed that
I had rediscovered G-D through science – and that was before I knew what has
been discovered about the constants and the early universe. This in fact that I
came upon is one of the principles of faith of Maimonides known in Hebrew as
the Rambam. The translation of the song Adom Olam (Master of the world) goes
like this: HE was, HE is, and HE will be. I did not know the principles of
faith but suddenly I had realized it. In one way, I was like Avrum in the city
of Ur growing up as a member of an idolatry society. The idolatry that I had
been subject to was an Atheistic Scientist World. Even the science fiction of
the day drummed into the heads of TV viewers was Star Trek a
future with space exploration with no religion. Just like him with the exception
of the physicist Yehuda Himmelstein, who I debated and Professor Leo Levi,
there were no others who were believers. Avrum had Noach, Shem and a few others
who were believers.
I
have written this week about twice or more my weekly Torah. I have not even
finished One Day or broached on the Pearlman’s Red Shift theory. My theory of
how galaxies moved so far and fast by the Inclusion Principle. Neither I have
broached why scientists believe that the universe spread out relatively
straight like a wave and not shaped like a sphere or a saddle. I have not dealt
with the second day and the splitting of the waters above and below or the
third day and the rocks that absorbed water that dry land can appear. There are
some questions that I had on creation with the earth being captured only on the
4th day by the sun and the capture of the moon on the fourth day
with them taking up the same degree of sky to produce eclipses. All this and
more with the DNA, RNA probabilities in plants and animals happening by accident
will be covered and no evolution but jumping in stages.
What
is a star and how hot is it? The Red Dwarfs are cooler than our sun by perhaps
3000K while the White Stars are warmer. Our Sun is between 6-7,000K degrees but
the Corona is between 1-2,000,000K degrees. https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/first-science-returns-parker-solar-probe/
When
scientists think within the box good physicists like Dr. Yoram Har Lev
published papers on 3D, 4D or 5D models and miss the 11D universe. Which he
later rejects with a 5D Universe. I can’t blame the scientists who cannot think
out of the box for this is what we see.
So, we end up with a standard physics model like this: Randall-Sundrum
Model of a 3D world in a 4D Universe missing out on the other 7 Dimensions and
Banes. Or the Polchsinski and Strassler Theorem. After over a half century of
not using Calculus, they would run circles around my math. However, in that
same half a century, I studied our Creator and the Creation of the Universe.
So, I thought out of the Physics Box with within the World of Foundation,
Creation and current Emanation.
So
the Physicists, Astronomers and Cosmologist have their relative truths but
limited to the vast infinite truth of Creation. I take this analogy of this to
their observations with the eye and telescopes similar to a dog chasing a
squirrel up a tree. The dog concludes thus because he saw the squirrel go up the
tree, he is still there. However, in reality, the squirrel has hopped from tree
to tree and is a long way away from the dog.
In
Professor Steven Weinberg’s world photons, electrons, neutrinos etc. are
travelling around but after 3 minutes the Universe is a couple of light years
and he mentions that without any explanation. Ah that is where an 11 dimensional
universe kicks in. It might be that from dimension to dimension the distance is
tiny. However, under heat and pressure the photons etc. are extruded through
the dimensions above time. Thus the 14,000,000,000year universe is
92,000,000,000 years from end to end and nobody says anything. Galaxies took
500,000,000years to form or instantly when extruded through 11D? (I will cover
this below)
FOR
IF YOU TELL ME THAT THE UNIVERSE IS SO MANY LIGHT YEARS WIDE BUT EXISTS ONLY
13,500,000,000 YEARS HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY BE?
Anybody who has read Professor and
Nobel Prize Winner Steven Weinberg’s book The First Three Minutes
describing the Big Bang will find out the size of the universe after three
minutes is several light years! Hugh? I thought that the top speed of the
photons, antiphotons, electrons, positrons, neutrinos,
antineutrinos, and perhaps some assorted X-rays or Gamma-rays are limited to
the speed of light. The current age and diameter of the Universe per NASA in
2006 is 13.7 Billion years old with a diameter of 93 to 94Billion light years.
How can that be? Where is the dark matter and dark energy? https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/educators/programs/cosmictimes/educators/guide/age_size.html
So,
by taking the Pauli Inclusion Principle into account. We have heaven and earth
created on the first day or as the Torah says “One Day”. On day two, the hot
planet cools off in space and water vapors condense.
{To
be fair Dr. Yoram Har Lev wrote elsewhere - This
work suggests a possible way to shed light on how our universe functions by
assuming that we are in a five-dimension universe (or more). Although the
five-dimensional Randell-Sundrum model avoids the necessity to consider all
current scientific theories, this five-dimensional universe hypothesis is more

In a recent books: “Beyond the ashes”
by Y. Gershom (on order) or I've
Been Here Before: Holocaust and Reincarnation. July 11, 2021 | by Sara Yoheved Rigler that
I read. There are too many cases of souls and other worldly time-space
phenomena not to mention E.S.P. and the semi-sci-fi world of UFO’s that show us
that there is something more to time and space that meets the eye and thinking
within the box of physical observance.
The L-RD signed creation with his name. There are very slight
DNA differences that produce a plant, animal, fish, bird or man. It is known
that the DNA Sequence Spacing is a block of 10 Ketones, RNA, etc. The next
space is five then six and finally five again before the sequence repeats.
Putting it in the Gematria of the Hebrew Letters we have 10 which we note by
Yud then 5 which is Hey followed by six or Vav and finally the last five Hey.
Yud-kay-Vav-kay where Kay = Hey happens to be the TETRAGRAMATION OF THE DIVINE
NAME.

In
a lecture by Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Porat HaCohain Shlita on the construction of the
Tabernacle, he mentioned that we can see Galaxies and other physical materials
in this world (Hebrew HaOlam). But we cannot see G-D (NeOlam) or not visible to
us. The Spiritual World is missing from three, four or five-dimensional world.
An old English Translation I saw on the Kabbalah called the L-RD “THE MYSTERIOUS
UNKNOWN”. I shall propose here a minimum of 11-Dimensional Universe based on
both the Kabbalah and the papers of Professor John Schwartz of the California
Institute of Technology to explain a lot of the mysteries of the Universe.
The
following few paragraphs are to awaken your thought process from the slumber
imposed by pseudo-science and various theories over the years you spent in
school from Kindergarten through College or Grad-School. I started asking them
in August 1966 and it has taken me years to draw these conclusions with the
ability to present them to both scientist and layman.
Are we living in a 13.5 to
14,000,000,000-year-old Universe as held by Professor Gerald Schroeder in Genesis and the Big Bang or
are we dealing with a 5786-year Universe as held by Rashi (Rabbi Shimon ben
Yitzchaki) R, Nachmanides aka Ramban and the late Lubavitcher Rebbe where 6
days of creation are 6 days consisting of 24hrs! Web telescope photo 6,000 years
or 13 billion years? https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/356346
The Burlingame Canyon in
Washington is another striking example that canyons do not require vast
stretches of time to form, but can be carved rapidly under the right
conditions. In 1926, engineers diverted water for irrigation by cutting a
temporary channel into the land. Heavy water flow was accidentally funneled
through this channel, and in just six days, a canyon nearly 1,500 feet long,
120 feet deep, and 120 feet wide was carved out of solid ground.
What evolutionary
geologists typically claim takes millions of years—erosion slowly cutting
through rock over vast ages—was accomplished in less than a week. This
catastrophic event mirrors the same kind of rapid geological processes observed
at Mount St. Helens in 1980, when canyons and rock layers formed in hours and
days, not eons.
Burlingame Canyon is a
small-scale demonstration of what the global Flood described in Genesis could
accomplish. If a relatively small stream of water can carve a canyon in six
days, imagine what the worldwide deluge, with its immense volume and
destructive power, could do over the course of a year. The Grand Canyon, often
said to require millions of years to form, can be far more reasonably explained
as the result of catastrophic processes during and shortly after Noah’s Flood.
The lesson is clear: the
assumption that “slow and gradual” is the only explanation for Earth’s features
is faulty. Catastrophic processes, under the right conditions, can produce
massive geological formations in an incredibly short time. Burlingame Canyon is
not an anomaly—it is a witness to the power of rapid change, confirming the
biblical record of a global catastrophe rather than the evolutionary narrative
of deep time.
Roger M. Pearlman sent
me this information on Carbon Dating of Fossils. Carbon-14
is used to determine the age of organic materials. With a half-life of 5,730
years, most of this isotope should be depleted from materials that are over
60,000 years old. So why do we still find it in rocks and fossils thought to be
millions of years old? Andrew Snelling explains the solution in a clip from
"Beyond Is Genesis History? Vol. 1: Rocks & Fossils". Interested

shows too many well-formed galaxies. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/the-james-webb-space-telescope-is-finding-too-many-early-galaxies/
A mysterious and puzzling sentence
appears in the Talmud and Midrash regarding creation. The statement says that
the Torah was designed to be given in the 1000th generation of man.
Anybody who reads the genealogy of Moses aka Moshe knows that Moshe was the 26th
generation from Adam. So where are the other 974 generations? Yoram Bogacz in
his book Genesis and Genes
brings down on pages 288 to 293 the 2013 Edition. He discusses the possible
solutions to Talmud Chagigah 13B, Job or Iyob 22:16, Psalms or Tehillim 105:8,
Beresheis Rabbah 28:4, Koheles Rabbah 1:37, Tanchuma Lech Lecha 11, Yisro 4,
Medrash Tehillim 105:3, Tanna Debei Eliyahu Rabbah 13 (70a, 72a), Tanna Debei Eliyahu
Zuta 10(15a), Sefer Chassidim 1137.
There is a
Philosophical Argument for the existence of G-D in creating the Universe. A
Hebrew Version and lecture about an hour long by Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak Shlita is
found in the tape “Logos, Ethos, Pathos, …” and can be found in Hebrew also
perhaps in English at Shofar.org but I saw YouTube removed it. Aish HaTorah has
the following by Rabbi Adam Jacobs: https://aish.com/the-cosmological-argument-for-gods-existence/
The argument has enjoyed a diverse and multicultural history and
has been expounded by many, including Aristotle (pagan), Al-Gazali (Muslim),
who in turn influenced Aquinas (Christian), and Maimonides (Jewish). The Al-Gazali
formulation goes like this:
1.
Whatever begins to exist has a cause;
2.
The Universe began to exist;
3.
Therefore, the Universe had a cause.
THE
BIG BANG THEORY AND THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF CREATION.
Let us now start with the Big Bang
Theory and what was going on in the first few minutes of the Universe as
describe by Professor and Nobel Prize Winner Stephen Weinberg. In order to have
some semblance of scientific respect, I have to take The First Three Minutes by
Professor Stephen Weinberg and super-condense it for the layman but just a tang
of a Creator for the initial cause. Genesis or Beresheis (Hebrew): 1:1 In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth is put on hold and those like myself, who believe can
wait out a few paragraphs for the explanation while I don’t want to lose the
scientists.
The L-RD of the world reigned alone.
According to the Torah out of nothing (ex-nilo) HE created matter compacted
into the size of a pea. The scientist needs some sort of a trigger to have this
matter do something and have a problem how the matter got there in the first
place.
Now whether you believe some trigger
mechanism caused this dense compact pea with all the matter and energy having a
temperature of 1 with 49 zeroes after it in degrees Kelvin to explode or G-D
said, “Let there be light”, it exploded. The outside universe is close to
absolute zero K. and this hot bunch of photons crashing with antiphotons,
neutrinos and electrons begin spreading outwards and speeds beyond belief. The
photons number approximately 200,000,001 per every 200,000,000 antiphotons
releasing energy as they annihilate each other. Perhaps creating x-rays and
gamma rays in the process but that is my guess and not mentioned in Weinberg’s
book.
The following description of the very
early Universe is taken from the book “The First Three Minutes” by
Steven Weinberg. The first mathematical model that one can rely upon for the
early Universe occurs at just before 0.01 second after the Big Bang (one
hundredth of a second). The Temperature of the Universe slightly before this is
now 15 sextillions aka 15,000 trillion degrees K or 15 with 15 zeroes after it.
The internal make-up of the cosmic soup is mostly pi-mesons that are about 1/7th
the weight of an atomic nucleus. Coming out of the center in all directions are
photons of light, electrons, positrons, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos called
muons. There are many collisions with electrons (negatively charged) and
positrons (positively charged) photons and photons causing neutrinos and muons
with some gamma radiation, microwave radiation and x-ray radiation. The
annihilation and re-emergence of particles at this time is constant. The Baryon
number or Lepton Number is close to zero. (There are 61 known at this time
sub-atomic particles and I will explain them as best I can in layman’s terms
further on.) {Note that Professor Weinberg simplified the description for us as
even at 0.01 second, the temperature is too hot for electrons and positrons to
be stable but it was done for our imagination.}
Contradiction of first three minutes and the speed of light and
solution.
Anybody who has read Professor and
Nobel Prize Winner Steven Weinberg’s book The First Three Minutes
describing the Big Bang will find out the size of the universe after three
minutes is several light years! Hugh? I thought that the top speed of the
photons, antiphotons, neutrinos, antineutrinos, electrons and positrons are
limited to the speed of light.
The solution is not within the not
within the standard space time continuum as we are taught in school perhaps
through College. Einstein stated that there are four dimensions the 3D that we
see around us and time. Back in 1921, Felix Klein proposed the famous Klein’s
Bottle picturing a 5th dimension through a diagram that looks like
twisting a 3-dimensional beach tube in such a way that we have time and inner
space representing a 5th dimension. It is beyond time.
Scientists believed that after the Big
Bang there were only gas clouds of many eons. But our Torah/Bible is telling us
“Let there be light” before and evening and a morning on a first day of 24hours
according the Lubavitcher Rebbe who was an Engineer and Scientist based on
Rashi’s Comments. All of a sudden, the Webb Telescope discovers a much earlier
Galaxy emitting light than Astronomers wanted to admit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhENqNECGvk
6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' 7 And God
made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from
the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And
God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a
second day.
It seems that during the
formation of the earth, water and an atmosphere attached themselves. Professor
Aviezer claims that the water came from comets based on research by Dr. Fred
Whipple of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Deep inside the crust of
the earth there are rocks that absorb water and it is known that more water is
in these rocks than in all the oceans of the world combined. Next week we shall
see with the great flood, the waters of the deep were opened. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/earths-rocks-contain-hidden-oceans-worth-water-n130961
9 And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of
the waters HE called Seas; and God saw that it was good. 11 And
God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree
bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And
it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding
seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after
its kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening
and there was morning, a third day.
Plant life was created
in the seas and dry land. There was no evolution but a generation of plants and
fruits with the thought that the seeds of the watermelon would be black, the
edible part pink and a white and green rind, the banana and orange with a skin
to protect the fruit and distinguish between edible and non-edible parts. The Midrash
states that the stalks, barks and wood were supposed to have been edible like
fennel stalks but “tree bearing fruit”.
Fruit trees - i.e.,
the taste of the tree should be
like the taste of its fruit. However,
the land
did not do this, but: “The land sprouted…trees that produce fruit” and not that
the trees themselves
tasted like
fruit. Therefore, when man was cursed for his sin, the land was also held accountable for its sin and cursed.
14 And God said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars. 17
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 And
there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
The earth was captured
by the sun on day four of the cooling of the universe and the earth captured
the moon as part of the understanding and measuring of time in the future by
man to be created two days later.
20 And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living
creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.' 21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living
creature that creeps, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every
winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 And
God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in
the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.' 23 And there was
evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
The various sea
creatures were created to act as food and the legend of the gigantic leviathan
to have its skin for the walls of a giant Sukkah in the future. With a great
fish meal for all of Israel.
24 And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature
after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its
kind.' And it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth
after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps
upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
Some points I want to
bring down. Mankind has found dinosaur skeletons but no evolutionary forerunner
of the dinosaurs. Scientist can lie like politicians to fit their theory. Thus
the data fits the graph and not the true results. The most famous Darwin Proof
of the evolution of the horse is one big lie. There are fossils transforming
the small, dog-sized, forest-dwelling Eohippus
into the modern horse.
However, Rabbi Avigdor Miller Ztzal did his homework on the subject. It turned
out that the little horse was found a few fossil strata above the modern horse
and some horses of various sizes were mixed together in the same layer. Like
tiny above semi-tiny and semi-modern above the modern. There is a tape out
there and his Book “Rejoice O’ Youth” and others destroy Darwin as a
Yemenite Dowin (tall tale like Baron Von Munchausen).
26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creeps upon the earth.'
let us make a human. We learn from here the humility of the Holy One,
blessed be He. Since man resembles the angels and they might envy him, God therefore took counsel with them. Similarly, when He judges kings, He consults His heavenly council, as we find in the case of Achav, to whom the prophet Micah said, “I saw God sitting on His throne, with
all the heavenly host standing by Him to His right and to His left.” Since He has no bodily form, is there a right side or left side with regard to
Him?! But the
meaning is that
some stand to “His right,” presenting
arguments
in favor; and some stand to “His left,” presenting arguments to accuse. Similarly we find: “The matter has been determined through the decree of the destructive angels, and that proposed edict, after consultation with God, was determined through the word of the superior holy angels.” Here, too, He requested permission of
His heavenly council, saying to them: “In heaven there are beings with a resemblance to Me. If on earth there are no beings with a resemblance to Me, there will be envy among
those whom I have created.” let
us make a human. Although the angels did not assist Him in forming man, and the
plural form
leaves open an opportunity for heretics to express a rebellious
argument, nevertheless Scripture did not refrain from teaching correct behavior
and the virtue of humility,
namely,
that a greater person should consult and request permission of a lesser person;
and if it had written, “I will make man,” we would not have learned that He
spoke to His judicial council, but only to Himself. And the response to
heretics He wrote immediately afterward: “He (singular) created man” – and He did not write: “They (plural) created.” בְּצַלְמֵנוּ - means
“with our mold.” כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ - according
to our likeness. i.e., with an ability to understand and to discern. they will rule over the fish of the sea. This expression וְיִרְדּוּ can
have the meaning of “ruling” when
read with the vowels in our text, or of “descending” when written וְיָרְדוּ. If man is worthy, he rules over the beasts and
animals, but if he is not worthy, he becomes lower than
them and beasts rule over him.
Man has wisdom,
knowledge and understanding and is capable of creating many things from the
elements of the universe like HASHEM does but not the ability to create
something from nothing. Our belief is that the “image” is the DIVINE SOUL
within man. The Neshama is a true child of HASHEM within us. The Tanya will
explain the components of the soul. For our purposes we are given a holy pure
soul and we are asked to keep it clean. Our body is from HASHEM too and putting
tattoos on it forbidden in Leviticus 19:28 which is like scribbling on a
creation of G-D.
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God
created He him; male and female created He them. 28 And God
blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creeps upon the earth.'
You have the power from ME
to rule this planet and all that is within. {In chapter 2 there is a choice
between good an evil that entered man. The original creation did not have such
an ability. Thus it would have been a no-brainer for mankind to kill off the Dodo
Bird.}
29 And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed--to you it shall be for food; 30 and to
every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that
creeps upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, [I have given] every
green herb for food.' And it was so.
The beasts feared and
awed Adam. He was a pure vegetarian and the beasts could be used for planting,
harvesting, etc.
31 And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was
very good.
The Kiddush for Shabbos starts here
but in Hebrew it is a coded message:
יוַיְכֻלּ֛וּ
הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם י֥וֹם
הַשִּׁשִּֽׁי
Notice the first letter
of each word. Yud then Hay followed by Vav and then Hay or the Tetragrammaton
of the L-RD.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 2:1 And
the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the
seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the
seventh day from all His work which He had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh
day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God
in creating had made.
The last letter of each
word put together is Emmet or Truth so the creation ends with the L-RD is
truth. אֲשֶׁר־בָּרָ֥א
אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת: Aleph Mem Tav.
The Sabbath or Shabbos is a special day and its
holiness cannot be underestimated. Those who observe it are blessed and those
who don’t are living in spiritual world astonishingly void, with
darkness over the surface of the abyss.
… 6:5 And the LORD saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually.
There was violence
(Hamas) and murder, adultery and other sexual acts out of boredom with other
species, incest, thievery, idol worship and other mischief.
6 And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and
it grieved Him at His heart. 7 And the LORD said: 'I will blot out man whom I
have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and creeping
thing, and fowl of the air; for it repents Me that I have made them.'
The beasts because of
bestiality on the part of mankind.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Noach was the grandson of the Tzadik
Methuselah. He kept observance and worship from the tradition of Adam, Chanoch,
and Methuselah. He was clean from violence, thievery, idolatry and romantic
relations outside of his wife.
The Devout Catholic Girl at
770 by Rabbi Yerachmiel Tilles
https://ascentofsafed.com/cgi-bin/ascent.cgi?Name=1453-04
Sam (fictitious name) was a
Jew. True he wasn't very careful about the Jewish commandments but he knew he
was a Jew, did some commandments and it was important to him at least
subconsciously.
Being a young upcoming businessman he met a lot of attractive young women but
he didn't give them much notice. Until, when he had a project that lasted
several months in the same town, he met one that was different. At first their
only connection was business, but eventually they discovered they had a lot in
common. Except religion.
She was a devout Catholic. It was unthinkable that she would marry out. It
meant eternal damnation! Her parents would never agree. Unless, he would
convert.
But Sam wouldn't hear of it. He was a proud Jew. For sure he would never think
about denying that. And marrying a gentile would mean the children wouldn't be
Jewish, the house wouldn't be Jewish and his parents would be heartbroken. So
they agreed to part and blessed one another that G-d would provide them with
proper partners.
But because they were in the same general line of work, as 'fate' would have
it, a year later they again met. But this time things were different. First of
all it was in New York, Sam's home ground, and second, Sam was much more
focused and to the point. He told her firmly and finally that, despite his
positive feelings only if she were to convert could they have any connection.
If not, this would be their last conversation.
The girl was torn, she really liked him but conversion was out of the question.
She explained her dilemma but he was final and blunt. They exchanged phone
numbers and again parted.
A few weeks later her phone rang. It was Sam. He had thought it over and
decided that it was unfair for him to expect her to convert when she knew
nothing about Judaism. Therefore, he will make her an offer.
In another few days there would be a festive Jewish holiday called Simchat
Torah. If she wanted, she could experience it. He had spoken to a religious
family in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn who agreed to take her as a guest.
Then she could ask questions, learn, see what real Judaism was and decide for
herself.
She agreed, went and from
the moment she arrived she enjoyed it. The two days of the Holiday were wonderful:
the family, the chasidim and, of course, the joy. However, what was really
something out of the ordinary and the true highlight for her, was seeing the
Lubavitcher Rebbe. As soon as she looked down from the women's section and saw
him, she was certain that if anyone could solve her dilemma it was he. She told
this to the family that was hosting her.
A week later, after the
holiday they a made few phone calls, arranged her an appointment for a private
audience with the Rebbe (called 'Yechidus') and a few days after that she
entered the Rebbe's office and poured out her heart. She explained how she was
born and bred a Catholic, Sam was Jewish. He wanted her to convert. But her
parents would never agree to her converting and she also had big doubts. She
had been taught that it was a sin to leave the Church, but she didn't want to
lose him. She was really confused. Should she leave him? Or should she convert
with such doubts plaguing her?
The Rebbe answered matter-of-factly, "You can get married without
converting. There is no need for you to convert."
She was startled and blurted out, "A Jew can marry a gentile? Really? But
everyone told me... "
The Rebbe replied "You are not a gentile. You are a Jew."
She couldn't believe her ears, this was crazy. She? A Jew? "But you don't
know me." She blurted out again. "I've been in this room only two
minutes. I'm Catholic! I was born baptized and raised a Catholic. My parents
are Catholics I go to church with them every Sunday. I'm not adopted or anything,
I'm sure. Rebbe, for SURE I am not Jewish!"
The Rebbe just looked at her, smiled and said. "Go to your mother and ask
her if you're Jewish or not."
She backed out of the Rebbe's office, returned to the house where she was a
guest and called her mother long distance and asked: "Mother, am I
Jewish?" She figured that her mother would simply answer 'certainly not',
or 'that's silly' and that would be the end of it, but to her surprise, her
mother slammed the phone down without saying a word, and didn't pick up when
she called again.
"Strange" she thought to herself. Two days later she flew home and at
the first opportunity took her mother aside and again asked.
"Shhhhh" Her mother whispered. "Don't talk about this when your
father is at home. Tomorrow we will take a walk in the park and I'll
explain."
The next day after her
father left for work, they went for a walk in the park and when her mother was
sure no one was around, she turned to her and said. "My dear daughter,
it's true. You are Jewish. And so is your father, and so am I and so were our
parents and their parents before them.
"But the Nazis changed all that. We met after the war. In the war we both
spent years in the extermination camps. Death and suffering were everywhere.
Our families and friends were all killed, some of them before our eyes. Maybe
you read the stories but it's nothing like living it. And it was all because we
were Jews.
"Well, before we married your father said he didn't want his children to
suffer as he suffered and I agreed. So we changed our religion, we became
Catholics, moved to France and thought that would be the end of it. We would be
like everyone else. That's why we never told you."
The next day the girl returned to the Rebbe to give him the good news and the
Rebbe replied. "Because you entered a Church you must immerse yourself in
a mikvah, not for conversion but to remove the defilement of idolatry. Then you
must learn the laws of Judaism." [For a Jew any religion other than Judaism is considered ‘strange
worship’ and that goes for other monotheistic religions like Islam too.]
Today she and Sam are married, live in Haifa and have a chasidic family with
children and grandchildren, and share helping to make the world a better place.

Biographical note:
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe (11 Nissan 1902 - 3
Tammuz 1994), became the seventh Rebbe of the Chabad dynasty after his
father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, passed away in Brooklyn on 10
Shvat 1950. He is widely acknowledged as the greatest Jewish leader of the
second half of the 20th century. Although a dominant scholar in both the
revealed and hidden aspects of Torah and fluent in many languages and
scientific subjects, the Rebbe is best known for his extraordinary love and
concern for every Jew on the planet. His emissaries around the globe dedicated
to strengthening Judaism number in the thousands. Many hundreds of volumes of
his teachings have been printed, and hundreds of English renditions too.

The unfinished business. Only 8

It Was Never About the
Hostages! By Rabbi Josh Wander
Is the Wool Being Pulled
Over Israel’s Eyes?
We are living through
unprecedented historic events, and yet most people are sleepwalking through
them. The headlines scream “hope,” “progress,” and “relief.” The talking heads
assure us that the nightmare is nearly over. The hostages are coming home. The
war is winding down. We can finally exhale and “go back to normal.” And of
course, we are told, we owe it all to our fearless leaders—Donald Trump,
Benjamin Netanyahu, and their global coalition.
But scratch just beneath
the surface and the truth becomes unavoidable: this was never about the
hostages.
⸻
Lessons From History
Israel’s history is
littered with moments where leaders bypassed the will of the people,
intoxicated the public with illusions of peace, and handed over land in
exchange for nothing but bloodshed in return. From Rabin’s Oslo Accords to
Sharon’s Gaza disengagement, we have learned three painful lessons:
1. The leadership does not
need the consent—or even the support—of the people.
2. The majority of
Israelis can be lulled into complacency by the fantasy of peace, no matter how
absurd.
3. The outcome is always
the same: disaster.
Every time land is
relinquished—Sinai, Judea and Samaria, Gaza, Southern Lebanon—the vacuum is
filled with terror, not peace. And now, before our very eyes, we are watching
the same fatal error repeat itself.
⸻
The Hijacking of the
Hostage Crisis
The Israeli public has
been deceived into thinking this war and its resolution revolve around the
hostages. The truth is far more sinister.
The same anarchists who
flooded the streets before October 7th—chanting against judicial reform and
seeking to strip power from the people—rebranded overnight. Their “Bring Them
Home Now” campaign became the new slogan. But this was not born of compassion.
It was a cold, calculated pivot.
They knew their earlier
agenda had failed to rally the masses. So they cloaked their efforts in the one
cause no Israeli could oppose: freeing the hostages. The result? Hundreds of
millions poured into a polished PR machine. Kaplanism was born, tolerated and
even celebrated, though corrupt at its core.
And here lies the genius
of the deception: they have made taking this poison pill palatable by
disguising it as sweet candy. Who could resist swallowing it when it comes
wrapped in the sugar-coating of compassion, solidarity, and national unity?
⸻
The Axis of Evil—Disguised
as Peace
The culmination of this
scheme is now visible. President Trump, together with Prime Minister Netanyahu,
has gathered a coalition of wolves in sheep’s clothing: Iran, Turkey, Egypt,
and the European Union. Yes, even Egypt and Turkey—our so-called “peace
partners”—are now dictating terms. The deal? End the war, free the hostages,
and in the process, strip Israel of all diplomatic power.
But again—it was never
about the hostages.
It is about dismantling
Israel from within. It is about implanting a foreign entity into our heart. It
is about resurrecting the corpse of the two-state solution—this time on
steroids.
⸻
The Prophecy Unfolding
What is happening today is
not random—it was foreseen thousands of years ago. The prophet Zechariah
declared:
“And I will gather all the
nations to Jerusalem for war.” (Zechariah 14:2)
This very passage, read
publicly during the haftorah on Sukkos, is unfolding before our eyes. The
nations of the world are uniting against Jerusalem, cloaking their hostility in
the language of “peace” and “humanitarian concern.” Yet the prophecy tells us
clearly: their true intent is war against God’s people and His city.
But Zechariah continues
with the promise of redemption:
“Then the Lord will go out
and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.”
(Zechariah 14:3)
And this Shabbat, the
haftorah of Gog u’Magog in Yechezkel warns us of the storm to come:
“Son of man, set your face
against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince, chief of Meshech and Tubal; and
prophesy against him, and say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against
you, Gog, prince, chief of Meshech and Tubal.” (Ezekiel 38:2–3)
And later:
“And you shall come from
your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them
riding on horses, a great assembly, and a mighty army.” (Ezekiel 38:15)
The prophets foretell that
before redemption, there will be chaos on a scale the world has never seen. The
ugliness of evil will seem to prevail, and much destruction may, God forbid,
need to happen in order to awaken us. The storm of Gog u’Magog is not
distant—it is upon us.
⸻
The Bitter Irony
And tragically, just as
with Menachem Begin and the Sinai, Ariel Sharon and Gaza, the so-called Israeli
right is once again leading the charge. Netanyahu himself is paving the way for
the forced creation of a mythical “Palestinian nation,” concocted in 1964, to
be planted inside our borders by hook or by crook.
The heads of this
campaign—sitting in smoke-filled rooms, sipping scotch, laughing at our
naiveté—know exactly what they are doing. And the Israeli public? Too many are
blind, complacent, or eager to believe the illusion.
⸻
Wake Up Before It’s Too
Late
This is no longer about
land or even about lives—it is about the very survival of the Jewish State. If
we continue to fall for the manipulation, if we allow the wool to be pulled
over our eyes, then the dream of Zion itself will be dismantled before our very
noses.
It was never about the
hostages. It was always about the destruction of Israel. Unless we wake up to
the truth, their sinister plan will be realized, and history will record how we
handed our homeland away while celebrating false victories.
But the prophecies of
Zechariah and Yechezkel assure us: even as the Nations gather against us,
Hashem Himself will rise to defend His people.
The end of the story is
not despair—it is redemption. Truth will prevail, evil will be banished from
our land, and the light of Geula will shine forth from Jerusalem to the entire
world.
The storm of Gog u’Magog
may yet rage, but beyond it awaits the dawn of Hashem’s eternal kingdom.
Op-Ed: Imre Beke October 13 at 3:10 PM
Anyone with a brain knows what will happen in the Holy Land:
Hamas' leadership will form a new political organization which will
consist primarily of "former" Hamas officials. They will find someone
who has little or no outward ties to Hamas to be the figurehead, strings pulled
by "former" Hamas officials.
In the meantime, Hamas' military leaders will go underground, either
keeping the Hamas name or choosing something new. They will spread the word
that the Jihad lives on and the spirit of Hamas survives.
There will be relative calm - not true peace but a temporary cessation of
terrorist attacks - for maybe six months. If they are REALLY disciplined -
unlikely, but possible - they will wait roughly a year. Then, they will attack
on October 7 or October 12 or possibly even on September 11. And the whole
rigmarole starts all over again.
When they do attack, they will probably take a ton of new hostages. They
gave up these hostages because in a month, they would have been dead. Their
value to Hamas was running out. Israeli intelligence may not have been able to
pin down the locations of all the hostages, but they always seemed to find out
when a hostage died. The moment the last hostage passed, the war in Gaza would
have become a thousand times worse. Thus, Hamas got one final benefit out of
the 20 remaining, living hostages. They got thousands of Hamas fighters
released.
What do people think those thousands of terrorists will do? They weren't
broken in prison. They were hardened. They are worse now than when they were
put away. They are not parties to this "peace plan."
October 7 was said to have been perpetrated by about a thousand Hamas
butchers. What will this two thousand do once Hamas - or whatever these animals
will call themselves in the future - regroups?
This isn't peace. It is the calm before the Cat 5 hurricane...
