Rebbe's real view.
Friday, February 12, 2021
From Rabbi Green's shlita blog. One of the last remnants of emes in the world. http://westbororabbi.blogspot.com/?m=1
Doctors and the Covid Injection
Many are asking:
Should I take the covid injection since so many doctors are recommending it? What if my rofeh yedid* recommends it?
Answer:
There are matters concerning which the Rebbe never said to consult with a rofeh yedid. CT scans during pregnancy is an example. He simply said not to do it, under any circumstances, irrespective of what any doctor says.
Likewise, the Rebbe never said to consult a rofeh yedid about whether one should vaccinate.
Instead, he stipulated that one should take only it if its safety is tried and proven, its safety record is well-established, manufactured by companies with reputations of being incontrovertibly saafe and reliable. We already discussed how none of these conditions apply with regard to the current experimental covid injection.
Consequently, your rofeh yedid has absolutely no authority in this matter, nor does any other doctor, or not even a majority of the world’s doctors. Their view is halachically irrelevant in this discussion. It would be foolhardy and irresponsible to listen to them.
In fact, it’s quite the contrary. Numerous expert doctors have come out against this experimental pharmaceutical product. They warn about the risks of pathogenic priming, and maintain that it carries significant known and unknown risks that include lifelong injury and death.
Shulchan Aruch Harav, Orach Chaim siman 618:5, states categorically that if there are two physicians who caution against fasting and raise concerns that it could cause serious risk to the patient, even if a hundred other doctors insist that it’s safe for the patient to fast, and even if these hundred have superior credentials, the law is that it is forbidden for him to fast, because with regards to uncertainty involving life and death, a stringent ruling is not determined by greater wisdom or greater numbers. Instead, the two who caution that the patient should NOT fast serve as expert testimony, and two witnesses are considered equivalent to a hundred by Scriptural decree.
Halacha requires us to err on the side of caution.
Nearly every time the Rebbe spoke about territorial integrity of Eretz Yisroel, he invoked Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim siman 329:6, and the laws of pikuach nefesh.
Likewise in our current dilemma, we must stay true and consistent with the Rebbe’s approach.
Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim siman 618 clearly precludes this injection.
It is categorically prohibited by Jewish law, and that is the end of the discussion.
It doesn’t matter if a preponderance of rabbis still endorses this ill-advised product. It was exactly the same thing with regards to land for peace. Nearly all rabbis supported this foolhardy move due to overwhelming societal, government and media pressure, but that did not change the Rebbe’s stance one iota.
For decades, he stood up as a lone voice maintaining the truth. He was once asked: “But what about the majority of rabbonim who support land for peace?”
The Rebbe replied that Rabbi Yosef Karo only published his Code of Jewish Law after getting the agreement of all the leading rabbanim of the generation, and that the Shulchan Aruch has been universally embraced by all Klal Yisroel. As such, his unequivocal psak din represents the majority view for all Jews of all times. So in fact, the Rebbe’s insistence for shleimus ha’aretz DOES represent the majority view of Klal Yisroel by very definition.
It’s exactly the same here in our current discussion.
By adhering to the Rebbe’s bold example and to the timeless ruling of Shulchan Aruch, we shall surely succeed in safeguarding the health of our families and communities.
אין לנו אלא דברי בן עמרם.
The truth will prevail, since אמת מארץ תצמח. Truth will sprout from the earth, and tzemach is the name of Moshiach... because by boldly and unambiguously asserting the truth, we shall proceed directly to the true and complete geulah, through Moshiach Tzidkeinu, in the most immediate present!

MD dead after Pfizer vaccine.
The love of my life, my husband Gregory Michael MD
an Obstetrician that had his office in Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach Died the day before yesterday due to a strong reaction to the COVID vaccine.
He was a very healthy 56 year old, loved by everyone in the community delivered hundreds of healthy babies and worked tireless through the pandemic.
He was vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine at MSMC on December 18, 3 days later he saw a strong set of petechiae on his feet and hands which made him seek attention at the emergency room at MSMC. The CBC that was done at his arrival showed his platelet count to be 0 (A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.) he was admitted in the ICU with a diagnosis of acute ITP caused by a reaction to the COVID vaccine. A team of expert doctors tried for 2 weeks to raise his platelet count to no avail. Experts from all over the country were involved in his care. No matter what they did, the platelets count refused to go up. He was conscious and energetic through the whole process but 2 days before a last resort surgery, he got a hemorrhagic stroke caused by the lack of platelets that took his life in a matter of minutes.
He was a pro vaccine advocate that is why he got it himself.
I believe that people should be aware that side effects can happened, that it is not good for everyone and in this case destroyed a beautiful life, a perfect family, and has affected so many people in the community
Do not let his death be in vain please save more lives by making this information news.

End of Exile Rabbi Kessin.
It starts at 58 minutes. How will the American exile end?
Let's look at two scenarios;
one,
Will US be taken oven by the radical left has v shalom causing people to flee? The pandemic has erased the achievements of Donald Trump. The race riots have caused an uprise of communists. That would be the end of America.
two,
Hashem is showing the American people exactly what will happen when the communists take over america, crime, end of security, backward economic policies and this will make the american people rebel against the radical left. this is the good scenario that Hashem prefers.
Anyway, watch it if it floats your boat and let us know.

Really an incredible shiur.
June 2015 constitution is interpreted to mean same gender marriage is protected under the constitution. This seals the fate of the America and the world with it. The only way to " destroy America is to "restart it" meaning to bring the redemption of the world, so the not fun begins. The trumpets are sounded and Trump is elected to office.

Message from Heaven about Moshiach.
Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet, Rabanit Zippora, the Wife of Rabbi David Basri shlita, a’h.
Yesterday she was in extremely bad health, with difficulty breathing.
She had trouble sleeping.
Yet yesterday afternoon, she fell asleep for four straight hours.
When she awoke, she said she went to heaven, and saw that there was great debate in heaven between the tzadikim and the angels.
The tzadikim asked God to redeem Israel immediately and bring mashiach, while there was opposition from the angels.
She said there was a lot of noise, and she got permission from the tzadikim to come down and tell the people of Israel what was going on there.
So they told her:
Go down and tell all the Jews to be in unity and love, and that is how salvation will come now.
* Rabbi Shlomo Basri Shlita asks*
*Each and every one of us takes it upon ourselves to become more in unity now, thinking positively of each other *
*With a lot of warmth and love between us !!!! *
The Rabbi asked to publish
*The message to all the people of Israel *
His righteous wife passed away the next morning.

THE MIKVA CLOSED 😞
I think I shared this story in the past, but I’m not sure when:
R’ Mottel Chernobyler was once ill, and his father, R’ Nochum of Chernobyl (who was the eldest and one of the foremost talmidim of the Magid, as well as the mechutan of the Alter Rebbe), instructed him not to immerse himself in the mikva (due to the health concerns). Later, R’ Nochum heard that R’ Mottel had immersed himself in the mikva.
R’ Nochum confronted his son “Why did you disobey me?” But R’ Mottel defended himself: “You told not to go because of medical concerns. But I got permission from the feldsher”.
[The feldsher was the folk doctor or peasant doctor. He had, usually, limited education and skills, but provided most of the medical care for the rural folk].
R’ Nochum immediately summoned the feldsher. “How did you allow my son to use the mikva, when this was obviously dangerous for him (because of his health)?” But the feldsher, too, had a defense: “I heard”, he told R’ Nochum, “that the Baal shem Tov said that he takes responsibility for one tevilah (that it shouldn’t cause any damage), and on that basis I allowed him!”
R’ Nochum laughed. “I’m the Rebbe”, he said, “and you’re the doctor, and your basing yourself on a statement of the Baal Shem Tov?!”
But the feldsher insisted. “Indeed it is so, because I knew that the Baal Shem Tov could be depended on”. And he explained. “Once, one of the disciples of the Baal Shem Tov (by the name of R’ Dovid) spent Yom Kippur in our community. On erev Yom Kippur, during the seudos, I watched him consume 36 jugs of mashkeh (obviously genuine mashkeh…). And despite that, he davened before the omud for us, and was on his feet the entire Yom Kippur! So I said (to myself), if a talmid of the Baal Shem Tov can do that, then surely I can depend on the Baal Shem Tov himself!”
Which seems to raise a question: Why, in that case, did R’ Nochum forbid his son to use the mikva in the first place? R’ Nochum knew of the assurance of the Baal shem Tov, why was that not good enough for him? Especially considering the fact that the feldsher had, after all, a very primitive appreciation of the Baal Shem Tov (the greatness of the Baal Shem Tov, for him, was determined by the ability of his disciple to hold his booze). R’ Nochum, on the other hand, had a genuine appreciation of the greatness of the Baal Shem Tov. Why, then, was the promise of the Baal Shem Tov not a factor for him in his directive to his son?
I think the answer is: while it is unquestionable that the promise of the Baal Shem Tov is dependable and could be fully relied on (and in fact – seemingly – the tevilah did not do R’ Mottel any harm), still it is not medical and not nature. In performing a mitzvah, one must do it according the laws of nature (as we know from the story of the Alter Rebbe with the kidush Levana, and from the known sicha of the Rebbe in chelek hey etc.).
This is true about every mitzvah, and is equally true about the mitzvah of ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם, - safeguarding one’s health. Although R’ Nochum could have unquestionably relied on the promise of the Baal Shem Tov – and undoubtedly R’ Nochum could have easily provided his own supernatural protection or cure for is son even without depending on the Baal Shem Tov – but that wouldn’t be performing the mitzvah within nature.
This explains a number of similar stories, for example:
RaSHaG (R’ Groinem, the mashpia in Lubavitch) once went to the mikva in a lake. He used tools to break the ice, and then removed his clothes, and proceeded to quickly immerse himself (before his feet could freeze to the ground).
Before immersing himself, being aware of the danger (there was also the danger of inadvertently moving slightly, while immersed, and finding himself trapped under the ice ch”v), he turned to the lake and declared “Know that you have no power to cause me any harm, because the Baal Shem Tov promised that one tevila will not cause harm!”
Chassidim related the story to illustrate his pure faith in the words of the Baal Shem Tov. And yet – when he was ill, the Rebbe Rashab forbade him from using the mikva, even on erev Yom Kippur (he was devastated, and he even sent other chassidim to intercede on his behalf to the Rebbe).
The Rebbe Rashab was well aware of the promise of the Baal Shem Tov. Yet, he demanded from the chosid to watch his health according to the laws of nature, and according to what medical professionals would require.
To be sure, there are times, many times, when our Rebbeim, or when tzaddikim in general, choose to bypass the laws of nature, when they disregard medical advice and heal us miraculously. But as a general rule, the require us to fulfill this important mitzvah, of caring for our health, within the parameters of nature.
Right now, the most important shlichus for us – seemingly – is the mitzvah of ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם, - to safeguard our own health and those of others. And we need to do whatever is necessary to perform this mitzvah with the greatest hiddur. In Russia, the challenges were against chinuch, teaching Torah and spreading Yiddishkeit, and chassidim had to show mesirus nefesh to keep these mitzvos. Today, it seems, the biggest challenge is against our health, individually and collectively, and we have to be ready to show mesirus nefesh to keep this mitza properly.
R’ Avrohom Zhembiner passed away on chol hamoied Sukkos. On his last Yom Kippur, shortly before his demise, the doctors didn’t allow him to fast. He was very upset by this, and asked his friend and mushpa, (the above-mentioned) Reb Groinem, what he should do. RaSHaG told him that he must eat, reminding him that the magid, due to his health, was unable to fast for 13 (or 15) Yom Kippur’s. He told him: “Just as when you fast, you are fulfilling the will of Hashem and connecting with Him, so, too, this year, by eating, you will be fulfilling the Will of Hashem, and achieving the same manner of connection with Him”!
Generally, through being meticulous about davening with a minyan, and being careful about daily immersing ourselves in the mikva (even to the point of mesirus nefesh) we became connected with Elokus. In our current situation - for some of us – our not davening with a minyan, and not using the mikva (and the Magid was often unable toivel in a mikva because of his health, just as he was unable to fast Yom Kippur) we will be doing the Will of Hashem and reaching the greatest connection with Elokus.
[And it may even have an advantage. The Rebbe said about people who sometimes go on tahalucha and are not given the ability to speak, that it says מעלה עליו הכתוב כאילו עשה. And the Rebbe said further that they even have an advantage over those who actually spoke. Because when someone speaks, you have to know if he said it well, and if he mixed in ulterior motives etc. However, when it is מעלה עליו הכתוב וכו', then you know it is being done in the best possible manner!]
Whether or not you can daven with a minyan or use the mikva etc. is a medical question. Just as in any case of any health concerns the Rebbe instructs to follow the advice of medical professionals, so, too, now, everyone must know what they are being advised by their doctors (preferably a rofeh yedid, and preferably a chassidishe doctor who can appreciate all angles of the question). But, once you know what that advice is, following it becomes your highest calling!
We’ve surely all seen shluchim who are busy with a big event, a huge event, their biggest event of the year. In such cases, the shliach is often so busy, preoccupied and pressured that he doesn’t even have the ability to daven with a minyan (some of us may even know shluchim who experience this more than once a year and even more than twice…). And he doesn’t feel bad or guilty about. He is not shirking any duties, on the contrary, he is preoccupied with his shlichus and העוסק במצוה פטור מן המצוה!
Right now, we all have to be busy with the most important shlichus and most important mitzva – of staying safe and staying healthy. The greatest shlichus now, greater than the biggest event of the year, the biggest event of the century, is to safeguard our own health and that of all others who may be affected by us. If minyan or mikva interfere with this shlichus, then we have to be very clear what our priority is, and be solely dedicated to it.
And just as with any mitzvah, and with any shlichus, we have to be doing it with the greatest simcha and the greatest enthusiasm, because this is the way we can now serve Hashem, and our עבדו את ה' has to always be with the greatest simcha!
Our mesirus nefesh and wholehearted dedication now has to be to our most important mission being healthy. And the Eibishter should grant us success in this shlichus, and give every single one of us complete health and good health and protection from all dangers (and then we can return willingly to the minyanim and mikvaos and all else)!
L’chaim! And – since the mashkeh is the most effective sanitizer (bGUR) – L’chayim some more! We should do our part to the best of our ability to stay safe and healthy, and the Eibishter should do His part to watch over and protect His nation, and remove from us כל פגע רע וכל מחלה, and cure us of the greatest illness – the golus – by granting us the only possible cure, - the immediate hisgalus of Moshiach Tzidkeinu NOW!!!
