Our untapped potential to make a difference
Plus more polio disinformation, war disinformation, and Chabad disinformation
In this week's Torah class we learned:
Why Hashem gives wisdom to the wise, and not to the fools, who need it most
What philosophers, statisticians, and other "clever" skeptics should learn from the Sotah water
Why one who causes others to do something good is greater than one who does it himself
An incredible lesson in human psychology and mussar from the law that two Sotahs cannot be given the water to drink together
A few of the many ways ordinary people can make a tremendous difference
The recording is available here. Please listen and share.
Here we go again, from the fake-frum propaganda site, The Yeshiva World:
And the "religious Zionist" version on Arutz Sheva, here.
It’s remarkable how many people still don’t realize that the “news” they are reading is not actual journalism or even news at all, but press releases that are obediently published as “news articles”, no questions asked, with minor variations at most to make it seem like a “reporter” actually wrote it. Your “news” site of choice is basically state-sponsored propaganda with annoying ads and shallow opinion pieces that support the official narrative.
The self-proclaimed Health Ministry and their comrades in the fake media tried the SAME stunt in 2022, but the polio outbreak was miraculously cured by mass distrust and apathy. I wrote about it here: Oh no! Polio!
So many readers of these propaganda outlets see through this scam, yet they still believe everything these same propaganda outlets and "government sources" report about Iron Dome, the IDF, the "war", etc.
Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
I merged two short videos of the recent missile that exploded in Tel Aviv, causing injuries and damage.
Watch the footage here.
Contrary to state-driven Pinocchio Press reports, this missile clearly didn't come from Yemen. So where DID it come from?
If you believe that the same people who kidnapped Jewish Yemenite children from the hospital, trafficked them, told their parents they were dead, and covered it up for decades...and the same people who conducted medical experiments on Jewish Moroccan children...and inflicted Covid lies and tyranny upon the population...and let October 7 happen...and so much more...
If you believe those same people wouldn't ever fire a missile at the peasant slave population, please explain why.
Finally, check THIS out:
Excerpt:
In 2024, Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah will fall on the same day, creating an opportunity to promote unity and interfaith connection...The two holidays have common themes of light, hope, and togetherness...Both holidays celebrate light — candles on the menorah for Hanukkah, the glow of Christmas lights, and remembering the northern light in the sky.
“We have an opportunity for Christians and Jews to come together,” Reverend Dr. Duane Anders of Cathedral of the Rockies told KTVB on Tuesday. “We just recognize God in both spaces.”
Rabbi Mendel Lifshitz of Chabad Jewish Center in Boise mutually reflected on the deeper significance of the alignment.
“We're all children of God, and this is a time of year when everybody's focused on that,” he told KTVB Tuesday. “And so it certainly is a time when we can come together and celebrate who we are in a spirit of togetherness.”
End of quote. This is literally the exact opposite of what Chanukah is about. Chanukah celebrates a victory over Hellenism and assimilation.
When you put everything on a scale, I think Chabad has really become a liability to the Jewish people.
