Huge Solar-Plant Project Approved
Good to see the start of a renewable energy project in California. Especially solar energy which the Rebbe said could power the whole U.S.A. and have enough left over to export to other countries.

So You Want to Go to Law School?
This funny video talks about some of the realities of working in the field of law in our days in America. Many youths truly want to change the world for good. It is difficult when the system that is set up encourages lies and deception. Shalom Morduchai HaLevi Rubashkin is siting in jail because the failure of the justice system. While the guy who pulled the emergency slide out on the jet blue plane gets off with one probation and an anger management course and a payment for damages to the plane.
It says that the Seal of God is Truth. In the first line of the Torah "Bereshis Boro Elokim" the last three letters of each word make up G-d's seal. Tov Alef and Mem make up the word Emes. And for those who love the Lubavicher Rebbe is also stand for Toras Menahem Emes and Toras Menahem Ohr.
Everyone should have a wonderful Shabbos.

Christine O'Donnell - 1 st amendment freedom of religion.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It's funny to see some media sources trying to say that Christine O'Donnell doesn't know the first amendment of the constitution. She seems like a good lady who fears G-d and wants to do right in her life. The Constitution protects the freedom of religion and doesn't protect freedom from religion, as some want to interpret it these days. There are good citizens trying to make a good difference in the world these days even though they have to fight through a lot of darkness.
Moshiach Now. A good evening.

Obama's underwater fantasy - "Under The Sea"
I am sure some people have already seen this but for those who haven't it is could be interesting to watch. The yidden are quickly realizing that the only one way to protect themselves is by looking out for their own interests and not their enemies interests.

Kosher Teffilin.
There was once a yid in Russia who put on teffilin every day even though this evolved great self sacrifice on his part. For those who know some history about the time period can understand what that means. He eventually emigrated to Eretz Yisroel and first thing took his teffilin to the sofer. Not kosher was the answer. The teffiling were never kosher to begin with. The yid jumped up and danced and sang with much enjoyment. Why are you so joyous asked the sofer? Tomorrow is the first day I get to put on kosher teffilin! I am so very happy! was the answer.
At times we do what we can but its up to G-d Almighty as to which mitvoz we are able to perform and which not.
Hashem should sound the great shofar to herald in the coming of Moshiach Tzidkenu.
There is a custom to check our teffilin and mezuzos each year during the month of Elul to make sure that they are kosher to prepare for the New Year.

Be wholehearted with the Lord, your God.
13. Be wholehearted with the Lord, your God.
Be wholehearted with the Lord, your God: Conduct yourself with Him with simplicity and depend on Him, and do not inquire of the future; rather, accept whatever happens to you with [unadulterated] simplicity and then, you will be with Him and to His portion. — [Sifrei]
It's easy to worry what is going to be with us. The financial markets seem to be in disarray. What will be with our children and our friends in such permissible times? I guess the answer is to do what we can and rely on Hashem that everything will turn out alright.

The Baal Shems bring on Moshiach.
Shortly after the Spanish Inquisition, a Spanish Jew named Joseph Jospa arrived in Krakow. He was a great scholar and a tzadik (righteous person), and was greatly respected by the Jews of Krakow, who called him the Spanish Tzadik. Being 50 years of age and unmarried, he lived by himself. Thirty years went by in this manner until a tragic event changed this. A young businessman from Krakow was killed during a business trip to Prague, leaving a widow with no children. The businessman's brother performed a chalitza ceremony in the Rabbinical Court of Krakow. It was the custom of Krakow in those days for the chalitza ceremony to be a community event, after which the rabbi of the Rabbinical Court would bless the woman that she should soon marry and have children. Then the shamash would announce that if any man present wished to marry the woman, he should present himself to the Court.
No one responded on that particular occasion, but about five months later, Joseph Jospa, the Spanish Tzadik, came to the Court and announced that he wished to marry the widow, if she would agree. He explained that he had not intended to get married, but now, for certain reasons which he did not wish to reveal, he wished to marry despite his advanced years.
The Court then sent for the widow. Immediately upon arriving in the Court, even before she had a chance to ask why she was summoned, she burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" they asked her.
"I have a terrible secret weighing me down, but I can't make up my mind whether to tell you about it," she replied.
She said she had been having a recurrent dream in which her father, who passed away many years before, appeared to her and asked her to do something. She could not decide whether to listen to him. She was worried and asked the Court for advice.
The rabbis of the Court told her that it would be best if she would tell them what the dream was. She said that in her first dream, her father appeared to her dressed in his Shabbos clothes, put his hands over her head, blessed her and said, "And now I wish you mazel tov, for it has been decreed that you marry the Spanish Tzadik, Joseph Jospa."
She had awoken from this dream trembling violently, but put it out of her mind. She had the dream again, but again did not take it seriously. Then her father appeared to her looking very serious and told her to that there was no way out of it, as it had been decided in the Heavenly Court. She must speak to someone to arrange the marriage. If she listened to him, he continued, she would be blessed with a son. But if she refused she would come to a bitter end.
Three more times she had the dream, and she finally decided to go to the Court about it. She had just made the decision to go, when the shamash arrived, informing her that the Court had sent for her.
When she finished her story, the rabbis of the Court looked at each other in amazement and told the woman that Joseph Jospa had come to them and told them that he wanted to marry her. She now had no doubt that it was G-d's will that she marry the tzadik, and the marriage was arranged. The wedding was a great celebration for the whole community. Everyone in Krakow felt that this was no ordinary wedding, but that it held an inner significance beyond their comprehension.
In the second year of their marriage, they were blessed with a son, whom Joseph Jospa named Elijah, after Elijah the Prophet. When Elijah was two, Joseph Jospa taught him Torah until he was of bar mitzva age, and he studied diligently.
About two weeks before Elijah's bar mitzva, Joseph Jospa told his wife that he felt that he was about to pass away. He told her that after their son's bar mitzva, Elijah would tell her that he wants to go out into the world. She should not discourage him from doing this, because he had been sent down to this world to fulfill a special mission. He told her that when her first husband had been killed, Joseph Jospa had received a Divine command to marry the widow, for a son of very high stature would be born to them who would have a special mission to fulfill for the Jewish people, to help them and uplift them. Elijah the Prophet had been studying with their son Elijah to prepare him for this mission. He was to be the first in a long chain of tzadikim leading up to the coming of Moshiach.
After concluding these instructions, Joseph Jospa passed away. A few weeks after Elijah's bar mitzva, he told his mother that he wanted to go out into the world. Having been prepared for this, she did not object. She gave him her blessing and he left. Forty years later, in the year 5350 (1590) he appeared in the city of Wurms, Germany and became known as a miracle worker and a healer. He also established a yeshiva there where he taught Kabbala, particularly the Zohar, in addition to the Talmud. He was the famous Rabbi Elijah Baal Shem.
Rabbi Elijah Baal Shem was indeed the first in the long chain leading up to the revelation of Moshiach. Rabbi Elijah Elijah was the first of four Baal Shem's. He was succeeded by his disciple, Rabbi Yoel Baal Shem, then by Rabbi Adam Baal Shem, who was succeeded by his disciple, Rabbi Yisrael, the famous Baal Shem Tov.

The beginning of the end? Judge Linda Reade is being exposed for having unlawful private meeting with prosecuters of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin.

On this account, Judge Reade should have been legally disqualified from presiding at the federal trial of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin.

Street Interview Seven Noahide Laws
Sheva Miztvos Bnei Noah Street Interview on the Streets of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The way to bring Moshiach is to spread light, goodness and kindness in the world. By dwelling on all the different problems around us and how everyone wants to destroy us we mostly just lose ground. If you really want to make a difference then take an example from these fellows and see for yourself how the whole world stands ready and is yearning for redemption. May it happen now. A gut voch.

Chumash with Rashi for Devarim Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22
13. Prepare for yourselves wise and understanding men, known among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
understanding [men]: [I.e., men] who understand [and derive] one thing from another. This is what Arius asked Rabbi Yose: “What is the difference between wise men and understanding men?” [Rabbi Yose said] "A wise man is like a rich money changer: When people bring him dinars to examine, he examines them. When they do not bring [money] to him, he sits doing nothing. An understanding man, however, is like a merchant money changer: When they bring him money to examine, he examines it, and when they do not bring it to him, he goes out and brings his own [money-i.e., he does not wait for people to come to him-he goes to them] (Sifrei)

A wise man a Chocham, when someone brings a question to him, he is smart and so he ponders it and answers it. But when they don't bring a question to him so he doesn't think about it. An understanding man, when they bring a question in Torah to him so he answers it but when they don't bring him question in Torah so he thinks of his own questions and ponders Torah anyway deeper and deeper until someone comes along.

A New Rebbe Story.
...One of the fellows I took to the ohel had a more prosaic background. I fact, he is quite an intelligent and ambitions young man, and a year go he was on the waiting list for one of the very best law schools in the country, He wrote to the Rebbe that if he would be accepted, which surely would lead to a food job afterwords, he promises to put on tefilin twice a week and pray with a minyan.
Subsequently he was accepted. But he never got around to the tefilin and minyan part.
During the second semester of his first year he received an unexpected phone call form his mother. He could tell right away from her voice that she seemed quite agitated. What happened, Ma? What's the matter? he queried anxiously.
Do you have some involvement with the Lubavitcher Rebbe? You never told me about?
I don't know what you are talking about. of course I don't he replied forgetting about or not taking seriously the letter he had deposited in Queens.
Well I never did either but I am calling to tell you that the Lubavitcher Rebbe has appeared to me in a dream several nights now. He keeps saying I kept my side of the agreement why doesn't your son keep his?
Needles to say form that day on he religiously puts on teffilin and prays in a minyan.

Harper on Libby Davies anti-Israeli Comments
World Leaders who support Israel.
Mazel Tov on 150 blog-posts.
A narrow mind - a short story.
There was once a man who was known worldwide as a great magician who could get out of any lock or trap that was set up for him. Great big crowds would gather to see him perform. One day he was offered a big reward to figure out a new trap. He agreed to try. When he got there it looked like a very simple lock to break and he was sure that he would unlock this one also. After an hour of trying he was unable to succeed and had failed at his task. He asked to be able to continue and try to unlock it anyways as there was never a lock that he couldn't figure out. Eventually after trying for a few more hours he gave up and asked that he be let out. They came and with a simple push of the door it swung open for it was never locked to begin with. The man exclaimed that "there was never in my life a lock or a trap that I couldn't get out of, besides the lock that I had made for myself." At times we put ourselves in limitations by imagining constraints and obstacles that do not exist. When we break out of our own narrow thinking and feeling processes then we can take a step toward becoming more free men and women.
