At the beginning of the Tikuney Zohar we learn that the notes of the song of the Torah are “Nashamot” (Higher soul), they are the lights of the intellectual soul. Song itself can kill the wicked, as did the Song of Devorah in the book of Judges. Concerning the secret of this song we learn that the oral Torah inherits the written Torah becoming its Yesod called רשת (Net) illumimating below to above so its result is תשרי (the month) which is the secret of the Holy name in the aspect of Malchut. It has sealed in it י of the Holy name. Upon the alter was also a name of Malchut הרשת (the net) it being sealed in ה of the Divine name, and Devorah the song Devorah sang is written as ותשר (and sang) sealed in ו of the Divine name. This is Yesod of the Divine Name. 1 Vowels are “Ruchot”(spirits) lights of the emotional soul. Rabbi Nachman of Bresslov teaches that the vowels are Yearnings. They are drawn to the letters by desire. All forces within us that seem to be try to prevent us from spiritual accomplishments are actually potenial forces to be expressed in the vowel points. There are 9 vowel points cooresponding to 9 ”rekia” (firmament). These also correspond to the problems that hinder us.2 While the letters themselves are “nefashot” (animal souls-vessels) lights of the animal soul.3 The main “tikun” (fixing) of Atzilut (world of Emanation) is through the notes-nikudim-crowns-letters. These correspond to the names ע”ב ס”ג מ”ה ב”ן . 4 The nature of the supernal light is to rise up to its source.5 The note Zirka kills “klipot”(forces of evil), it lengthens the pronunciation of a word6. It rises Malchut to Bina making Keter to Z’a. The body of Bina is Bina itself, NH’Y of bina is the flow of bina,Teferet is the essence of bina it makes ketter to z’a.7 By Teferet one merits to look at the upper Shechinah which is Bina.8 This is the aspect called “Pelah” (wonder). All aspects of Z’a, which brings forth the emotional soul are united from teferet of Bina. As the unification that is drawing the aspect of ketter is through Teferet specifically.9 Canesset Yisrael (community of Yisrael) is called Teferet that is כבוד (glory), this כבוד is from Bina.10 Concerning the Teferet of invocation of Divine names the Ramcha’l teaches that in order to work a name a man must remember the name of the illuminary to arouse its light, and its angel from it who goes over to do its work. The work is the ruling of God and the name causes its arrousel. The light of all your learning shines in your “tikunim” filling all the Divine names.11 Love of Yisrael is a segulah (miraculous power) itself to draw into the letters and permutations of Holy names to illuminate and flow by way of avoda (divine service). God created the world in His Name, and rules it in His Names.12 יהו”ה gives Nashamot (souls) to the letters. Forever the Nashama of the letters is the Name. The letters of יהו”ה are the Nashama of man.13 If we want to be successful in doing works with Holy names one must be careful with the physical Mitzvot as Teffilin, Sitzet, Succah and lulav.14 All Holiness of “Kadosh Kadoshim” is from “mazel”. Everything derives from Mazel. The letters יהו”ה come out of Atik from the beard and connect to this Mazel. It supports other letters in Z’a.15 I

Who made Judaism a religion of gaudy mausoleums the temples, material wealth, an empty, vapid, childish, shallow, ostentatiousness, ignorance, conspicuous vulgarity, of assimilationists ?
What makes The American Jew run? What makes The American Jew run after intermarriage ? What makes The American Jew run away from Judaism and cut the chain of generations? What makes The American Jew run away from the Judaism that his great grandfather clutched at the risk of loss of happiness, material wealth and, so often, very life? What makes The American Jew run?
This is the question that drives the American Jewish Establishment to frantically set up committees, study groups, surveys and commissions. This is the question to which they allocate so much time and so much communal money. This is the question that is at the top of their puzzled order of priorities, over which they scratch their collective well· groomed heads: What makes The American Jew run?
The puzzled shepherds of the American Jewish community can close down their study groups and their commissions and their committees; they can put an end to the learned and expensive surveys. They can stop spending Jewish communal funds. What makes The American Jew run away from Judaism? Who created that American Jew who turns from Judaism in disgust or in indifference? Who created the American Jew who pants after intermarriage or who marches for Jesus or Trotsky or Arafat or for nothing Jewish? Who created the American Jew who finds Judaism as unimportant as the color of his hair ?
Why, the answer is obvious: The very same Establishment groups who are busily creating the committees, commissions, study groups and surveys to find out the answer to these questions! Who made The American Jew run away from Judaism? The American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, the B’nai Brith, the federations on every level and in every locality, the temple rabbis and The American Jew’s most intimate Establishment figures his parents.
All of these are the criminals. All of these had a hand in the murdering of the American Jew. All of these robbed him of his heritage, of the beauties of his Inheritance. All of these make The American Jew run.
The Jewish Establishment groups The AJCommittee, the Congress, the B’nai Brith, the federations, ALL the spokesmen for the American Jewish community the ruling clique, uniformly marched down the American road with a melting pot under their arms, beating it over and over again and shouting forth the Eleventh Commandment to the American Jew: Thou shalt melt!
Thou shalt melt, thou shalt integrate. thou shalt amalgamate, thou shalt be an American as all others. They beat the drums for interfaith. exchanging pulpits with ministers enthusiastically, in a frantic effort to prove to Christian and Jew alike that there is essentially no difference between them They were partially successful the Christians were not convinced but the Jews were.
Thou shalt melt, thou shall integrate, thou shall Americanize yourself. And so they raised high the banner of the public school and fought, with a zeal no one knew that they possessed, the one weapon that might have given The American Jew knowledge, and a sense of pride and roots. In fear and with hostility, they declared a holy war against the Jewish Day school. the parochial school. the yeshiva. They piously rationalized their struggle on the sacred grounds of separation of church and state but the real reason for their war (and they took the lead among all Americans in fighting the slightest aid to parochial schools) was their fear and consequent hatred of the parochialism and separatism of the yeshiva. The yeshiva threatened them with too much Jewishness! What would the gentile say If Jews were too Jewish, if they looked and behaved too differently, If their profile was not properly low? How did one mix easily with gentiles in Ihe non-kosher country clubs they were so eager to join; how did one assimilate if Jews did not learn to drop the embarrassing customs, habits and old ritual baggage?
The public school! This was the way to equality, to uniformity, to mixing and assimilating and to the death of anti-Semitlsm. And so, they urged their flock to send The American Jew to the public school (and the flock, as eager to mix as the shepherds, needed little urging). The American Jew went to pubic school.
And today as the shepherds run frenziedly about surveying The American Jew and asking him, “Where did you meet your non Jewish wife ?” he calmly answers: ”Why, In the public school: in the Public school to which you sent me…… Who made The American Jew what he Is? Who made The American Jew what he is? The establishment groups and leaders who took a Judaism of particularism, of separatism, of uniqueness, of difference, and who In their fears, insecurities and ignorance created an American brand that leveled all uniqueness, “proved” that Jews and Christians were no different, and eliminated every logical and moral reason 10 be different. They created The American Jew: they made The American Jew run.
And who else made The American Jew run away from Judaism? Who else made The American Jew what he Is and is not? The massive, gaudy mausoleums that dot the landscape of every Jewish suburb, The temples, The Temples whose senior rabbi is the caterer. The temples that perform human sacrifice rites each Sabbath morning, and they call them, The Bar Mitzvah, The Bar Mitzvah that culmination of an empty, vapid, childish, shallow Jewish ”education”, taught by men and women whose ignorance and lack of Jewish content make them superb vehicles for the ”education” they pass on, The Bar Mitzvah, that obscene cuit of ostentatiousness, the ultimate in Jewish status seeking, the competitive drive to bankrupt that pathetic and hapless “father of the Bar Mitzvah,” The Bar Mitzvah where the young lamb babbles the words he neither understands nor cares to, to the accompanying nachas, pride, of beaming women and men who would not know a correct word from a mistake, whose Ignorance Is sublime and whose disgusting display of conspicuous vulgarity sends G-d fleeing from the mausoleum in wrath “… The Bar Mitzvah, whose necessary “religious” interlude long ago was subordinated to the piece-de- resistance of the entire immorality play the ”reception.” The sickening waste of money and degrading of Judaism, where materialism runs amok in the guise of religion. Where drunks and half-dressed women dance and give praise to the L-rd. with African dances. American tunes. and universal abominations. The Bar Mitzvah where the assimilationists, ignoramuses and despoilers of Judaism. beam with patronizing pleasure as the decrepit grandmother Bubby is resurrected from her nursing home or Miami Beach condominium and trolled out to light a candle to the applause of the go-go girls and dirty comedians waiting to do their act.
The temple. that was created to give G-d a place on earth on condition that He know exactly what His place is. The temple. Where man thinks up G-d rather than admit that He made him. The temple, where the Jew can create any kind of religion that he cares to and call it Judaism. The temple. where things too difficult are junked and where from the Board of Directors shall come forth Torah and the voice of the L-rd from the approving Sisterhood membership. The temple. run by men whose ignorance of Judaism is exceeded only by their arrogant insistence on spouting it. The temple, where The American Jew visits ”G-d” and meets ”Judaism” and flees from it in horror. The temples; they created The American Jew, they made The American Jew run.
And who else made The American Jew run from Judaism? The temple rabbis. The kept theologicians who knowingly preslde over fraud and grotesque jokes. The well paid functionaries who’s ’ salaries are payments to hold their silence and to declare light darkness and darkness. light;
to give their stamp of kashrut on the impure meat that their temples serve up as ”Judaism”. The bribe takers whose eyes are blinded and consciences dulled by “kavod”, the honor of sitting on the pulpit before the eyes of the congregants, and by the comfortable salary augmented by the offerings of thankful beneficiaries of weddings, funerals and unveilings. The false prophets who hold their silence as Judaism is twisted. perverted, turned into a humorless joke and who, knowing their own corruptness and fraud of soul, rush to justify the fraud by ”rabbinical” rulings that pronounce them ”good”. The temple rabbis who take a Judaism of Divinity and truth and go about Reconstructing it and Reforming it and making a mockery of Conserving it.
The temple rabbis who took the age-old axiom of Revelation. real Revelation. upon which is built the Divinity of Torah and junked it. The temple rabbis who made Judaism the product of ”wise men” (and if so, are there not wise Christians and Buddhists and atheists?) and thus removed any sacredness and necessary reason for observance. The temple rabbis, so many of whom do not believe in G-d. who took the real and awesome Jewish G-d of history who made man and Created all and who rewards and punishes, and exchanged Him for a ”god” who is “the spirit within man”, indistinguishable from indigestion….. They are the models of Jewish ”religious” leadership we give unto The American Jew, these empty vessels whose greatest fortune Is that their congregants know even less about Judaism then they do.
These are your rabbis, American Jew, and then we wonder why he refuses to enter the temple over which they preside. Only they themselves know what frauds they are; only they, in their hearts, know what a life of lies they lead; only they, in the inner recesses of their beings, know the self-hate and contempt they feel for themselves each day that they have to perform acts of faith they no longer believe in and teach a religion that long ago they secretly began to doubt. The temple rabbis; they created The American Jew, they made The American Jew run.
And who else made The American Jew run away from the embrace of Judaism into his non Jewish wife’s waiting arms? The parents, the good Jewish parents. The loving Jewish mother who took off her golden nose rings and made a Golden Calf which she worships avidly. The Golden Calf called “success” and ”money” and ”making it” and ”my-son-the-doctor.” The Golden Calf of material success before which she burns incense and for which she threw the G-d of Jewish values into the trash cans of medieval obscurantism. The Jewish father whose values are those of the garment center and the race track and bagels and Ox on Sunday morning before taking the family out to Chinese restaurant on Sunday afternoon. The Jewish father who tries to think like a gentile, act like a gentile, dress Like a gentile , drink like a gentile, and curse like a gentile and then demand that their son marry a ”nice Jewish girl.”
The Jewish, parents whose credo is onward and upward In wealth and status and who created a comfortable Judaism that would accommodate their needs. Who moved to the suburbs and created a suburban Judaism, and a suburban G-d, ethical and cultured and nice a vaguely Jewish Santa Claus. Who turned down the Orthodox synagogue of their parents, grandparents and generations beyond because it was too Jewish and too out of step with modern times and too difficult and too outmoded and not compatible with the new pagan-Jewish lifestyle they were creating. Who turned either to the Reform that gave both status (how familiar their Christian friends would find it if ever they stopped by) as well as license (one could be almost anything and do the same in that incredible anarchy known as Reform) or better still to that new and upcoming movement known as ”Conservatism.” How many Jewish refugees from Brooklyn and the Bronx arrived in their new status symbols in Massapequa to find themselves surrounded by strange natives known generally as ”goyim” with large tribal groups called ”Protestants?” How many of the Jews, in panic, fearing that their son would come home with a Mary rather than a Shirley banded together to build a quick temple or ”Jewish Center” to save their precious ones? How many of them who did not know a Jewish concept from a Catholic catechism decided to call it ”Conservative” because Orthodox is ”too old-fashioned” and Reform is ”like a church”? And how amazed was the miniscule, unimportant Conservative movement to be suddenly besieged with requests for ”Conservative rabbis” that did not exist? And how many conservative temples were suddenly hiring orthodox rabbis who prostituted themselves to the Long Island god of gold? And how true It Is that it was not the Conservative movement (sic) that built all the new temples that suddenly made them so prominent but the ordinary, ignorant Jews who bought a temple just as they bought any other commodity they needed and who set the terms of the deal.
They bought their temple and their rabbi and proceeded to create Judaism and G-d in their own image. The garment center men knew exactly how to cut a suit to fit…..
Judaism, but not too much. If The American Jew was sent to that vast cultural wasteland known as the ”religious” or ”Hebrew” school which he so despised, it was not so much that he become religious as so that he might acquire ”culture.” (At least enough to let him babble the proper words on the great day of Bar Mitzvah initiation rites.) If he came home and mentioned something about Sabbath observance or a ban on ham and bacon. his parents smiled and told him that ”we aren’t sending you there for that” or “you don’t have to listen to everything the teacher says,” They played games with their childen and thought that they could deceive them, never realizing, in their own stupidity, that no one can ultimately deceive a child. They created a Judaism that was created in their own image a Cohenism or a Goldbergism or a Schwartzism and tried to pretend that it was Judaism. They defrauded themselves because it so suited them and thought that their children would grow up to be as fraudulent, hypocritical, materialistic and disgusting as they, But he did not. That which makes them run does not necessarily affect their kids.
They thought that Judaism was a faucet that could be turned on and off at will. They wanted to give up the uncomfortable and the inconvenient things but still keep the ”important” things, like marrying a Shirley. The American Jew was honest. He took the whole thing and junked it, He turned on the faucet all the way and Judaism spilled out. in toto. He married his non Jewish wife, to the wailing of his parents who shrieked to one and all: Where did we go wrong??? Where did they go wrong?
Where did they go right………
When one thinks about it. the gall and the arrogance of The American Jew’s murderers are stupefying. All of them sleek Jewish Establishment organizations and their portly leaders: the million-dollar temple-mausoleums: the temple rabbi-functionaries: the pitiful and hapless parents. All those whose yardstick was ”what will the gentile say” and who proceeded to tailor their ”Judaism” to fit, not the Jew but the gentile; all those spiritual schizophrenics who did not know whether they were Jews or not. fish or fowl, meat or milk; all these now point their grubby accusing fingers at Their children and shout indignantly:
“Why are you such a bad Jew? Why are you a traitor to your people? Why can’t you marry a nice Jewish girl. like your mother? Why do you want to marry Mary, she is not Jewish ?”
The hypocrisy is nauseating and amusing at the same time. But the American Jew listens and finds nothing humorous in it. ”Why do you want to marry Mary ? Why not? She is good looking, polite and doesn’t nag….. Why do I want to marry Mary ? Why not? What is a nice Jewish girl like my mother? One who desecrates the Sabbath like my mother? So does Mary ! One who eats non-kosher food like dear Mom? So does Mary ! One who comes to synagogue three times a year to parade about in our version of the Easter parade? Mary has the real thing.”
Of course, what The American Jew is really saying no, crying out is: ”Tell me, someone. Why should I be a Jew? Why is it important to be a Jew? What difference does it make? Why not knock down the barriers between religions, nations and groups once and for all? What is there to Judaism that is so unique and special that I should adhere to it faithfully and marry within my faith? Why be a Jew !!!! ”
It is an agonizing cry from the souls of tens of thousands of young Jews who assimilate, integrate and disappear into the outer space beyond Judaism. It is the cry, the question. It is asked by young men and women who have seen the emptiness and the vapidness of the Judaism they grew up with. It is asked by young Jews who have seen the ugliness and the vulgarity of their empty temples and the fraud and bankruptcy of their temple rabbis. It is asked by young people whose ”Judaism” gives nothing, absolutely nothing, in terms of ideals, seIf-sacrifice and meaning. It comes from those Who equate the ”Judaism” they know with ostentatious Wealth, fat and contented Ieaders paying lip service to God and ”religion” and the reality of that religion In and the reality of that religion in the form of the Rabbis who do not believe in the Divinity of the Torah or (increasingly) in G-d and in lay people whose ignorance of anything Jewish is compensated for by Hadassah and UJA checks.
Those who murdered The American Jew took a Judaism of their ancestors that was strong and powerful enough to withstand inquisitions and Crusades and pogroms and Kishinevs and Auschwitzes, big and small. It was a Judaism that lived because its adherents were ready to die for it It was a Judaism of the zeyde who believed in God and proved it by observing His commandments. It was a Judaism that came from God and not from man. It was a Judaism whose rabbis and leaders knew Torah, not the latest best-selling book list and who did as they said, setting a supreme example for the The American Jews of old who knew why Judaism was different; who never for a moment thought of intermarriage.
The murderers took this and threw it away, exchanging it for ”American Judaism”, a grotesque mixture of Myron Cohen jokes, Miami Beach, UJA checks, Hadassah membership, Jewish food and Moshe Dayan eye-patches. It was a ”Judaism” that was stripped of all non·essentials so as to lighten the burden on the long-distance Jewish swimmer through the American waters of assimilation, equality and brotherhood. It was a ”Judaism” whose adherents beamed as their leaders got it down to “ethics.” Ethics ! As if that was the beginning and end of Judaism. As if Christians and Shintoists could not be ethical, too. As If Mary was less ethical than Sarah. Ethics, intones the well paid Rabbi from his magnificently furnished pulpit. Ethics that is Judaism. If that’s all there is, then The American Jew knows that Judaism has lost any exclusive hold on him. Everyone, today, is ethical. Christians are ethical and Muslims are ethical and Zen is ethical and Prince Sihanouk is ethical and the late King Faisel was ethical as are his uncountable sons. Is that all there is to Judaism? If that is all there is, then stop lecturing The American Jew as he marches into the sun with his ethical shiksa.
The American Jew wants to know what is exclusive about Judaism, what is unique, what is special, what it has that others do not. The American Jew wants to know this and those who murdered him have no answers for him. The head of the B’nai Brith has no answer for him. The temple caterer has no answer for him, nor the Board Chairman, nor the Sisterhood president. The temple rabbi has no answer for him. Mother and father surely have no answer for him. All of these have no answers for him because all of these have no answers for themselves.
Judaism lives or dies on the unique fact that G·d revealed Himself at Mount Sinai and gave the Jew a truth that no one else has. Judaism lives or dies on the fact that the Bible and the Talmud with their laws. Commandments, statutes and ordinances were divinely revealed and that the only way to holiness and true goodness comes from the observance of Torah laws. This is what kept Their zeyde and bubby Jewish; nothing else. This is a reason for being Jewish. This is a reason for avoiding intermarriage. All the rest is fraud and bluff. The poor American is a victim of the worst kind of robbery the taking of his heritage and reason for being.
If only he would realize that the ”Judaism” that he saw his entire life was anything but that. If only he realized that he was the victim of the worst kind of spiritual swindle. How fortunate he would be. How joyous and happy and how meaningful would his life become if he rediscovered the Judaism of his ancestors that was sold on the American continent for thirty pieces of dross. Jewish is beautiful if you do not play games with it or with yourself. If only The American Jew understood. How fortunate he would be. He would then have a reason for being Jewish.

Filed under: Hebron-Machpelah
Chayah Sarah
Abraham bought a transdimensional doorway, vortex , star gate
It says in the Bible Abraham paid 400 shekals of silver to the people of Heth for the burial place of Sarah (gen. 23) in Hebron called Machpelah (the folded cave). This was equivalent in modern money to about 400 dollars, this was a highly excessive amount. For all of samaria King Omri paid 6000 shekals (kings 1 16:25), Jeremiah paid 17 shekals for a bigger plot of land (Jer. 32:9). According to Hamurabbi code average year wage of a working man at this time was 6-8 Shekals. (according at Aryh Kaplan)This was a tremendous amount of money.
Abraham had discovered the secret of that cave when pursuing the ox which he had intended to slaughter for his three guests, the angels. The ox had drawn him straight to the Cave of Machpelah (The folded cave). Avraham at that time saw a light shining in the cave and inhaled the sweet scent of Gan Eden that filled it. He heard the voices of angels exclaim ”Adam is buried here! Avraham, Issac and Jacob will rest here also!” Avraham then understood that this cave was the entrance to the Garden of Eden, and desired it for a burial place. When the soul leaves the body – it enters the Cave of the Machpelah which is where the entrance to the Garden of Eden is to be found. the Cave is full of light coming from the illumination of the Divine Presence;
From this parsha we can learn some of the secrets of the cave of Machpelah (Translates to the “folded cave”). To do this lets go back first to parsha Lech Lecha where we find God tells Avraham to “Arise and walk through the land in the length of it and the width of it for I will give it to you.” Then Avraham removed his tent and camped in the plain of Mamre which is in Chevron and there he built a alter to GOD. After seeing all the land Avraham decided to go to this special place. “The plain of Mamre which is in Chevron and there he built a alter to GOD.”
In this weeks parsha we find “Avraham Buried Sarah in the cave of Machpelah which is before Mamre. The same is Chevron in the land of Cannan and Avraham was old well stricken in age and GOD blessed him in all things” We must ask what does it mean “the Same is Chevron in the land of Canaan” ?. And why after telling us of the burial of Sarah in Machpelah does the verse conclude saying ”GOD blessed him in all things” ?.
The name Machpelah means folded. In the Zohar we are told that the field and cave rests on a 2 fold area namely the world above and world below. Thus through this spiritual gate all souls pass when they leave this world. At this place the vail of the physical world wears thin giving one potential for greater Divine awareness. Machpelah is in Chevron also called Keryat Arba Meaning “the city of 4”. If one goes to Machpelah they will find in the cave the graves of Adam and Chava, Avraham and Sarah, Yitzchak and Rivka and Yaakov and Leah. Yuhuda gathers from the 4 corners of the earth. This is Chevron (Chevron means to join together). There in Chevron GOD requests to join them as one. As we say in the Amida “gather us together from the 4 corners of the earth”. Every man who occupies in Torah is Chevron. Keriat Arba is also called chevron it is the place the 4 corners of the earth are gathered. There dresses tohu, vohu, choshech, thum in the earth (these are the klipot, forces of concealment of the Divine light) and the 4 chyot haKodesh (angels) are revealed (through these forces of concealment of the Divine light to varying degrees according to one’s merit) in the 4 yesodot (elements). A souls dresses itself of these forces of concealment of the Divine light that are upon one’s soul when they enter the world. When they leave this world they divest them selves of these garments, some require to have removed more of these “klipot” (forces of concealment of the Divine light) that they added upon their soul by their evil behavior while being in this world, it would be better for them if this is not so . One has a certain spiritual innate awareness filtered, diminished by these forces of concealment of the Divine light one can purify their soul and have greater spiritual awareness. These klippot “tohu, vohu, choshech, thum” are involved in the idea of the green kav (beam of light) that surrounds the world.. When You say the Sma (unification meditation) with your heart mouth and thought this is Chevron (Hebron). There goes out a ruach (spirit) during saying of the Sma from the 4 letters of יהו”ה (YHV”H). This is Chevron. It is the joining of the Nashama (Higher soul), Shechina (The Divine presence), the 4 letters of יהו”ה and Keriat Arba. Galut (exile) is the opposite. The 4 galut correspond to the 4 orlah (unclean husks). Galut is separation. They are not then “one nation in the earth”, as the name יהו”ה no longer rests upon them. Death is when the Torah doesn’t rest from above, and rises from below away from the 4 yesodot. All who the Torah separates from, their Nashamah (Higher soul) is destroyed. The Nashama is the precious throne that Chevron unifies, it is the Shechinah (Divine Presence).1
We are told that the cave is before Mamre. This place is where earlier Avraham built a alter to GOD. The word Mamre means rebellious. This refers to the ones that were burried there first. The first to be rebellious Adam and Chava. Its also interesting to note that Mamre in Hebrew has the same letters as Amran the father of Moshe a man who never sinned. The opposite of the rebellious Adam and Chava. It will be from Amram’s son Moshe who brought down the Torah from mount Sinai that world will be redeemed from its current rebellious state. As we learn from the Oar haChyim that the final redemption will occur in the merit of Moshe. The redemption has been so long delayed becouse Moshe refuses to invoke his merit, his merit being the merit of Torah study that is so lacking in these later generations. So may it be that soon in our days that we will see the realization of the blessing given to Avraham from GOD to be blessed in all things with the coming of our righteous Mashiach (Messiah) quickly in our days.

Filed under: aliens
In August 1977, a sky survey conducted with Ohio State University’s ”Big Ear” radio telescope found what has become known as the ’Wow’ signal. Registering an enormous signal strength (60 Janskys in a 10 KHz channel, which is more than 50 thousand times more incoming energy than the minimum signal that would register as a hit for today’s Project Phoenix.). The shape of the signal had the characteristic rise and fall expected for its short 72 second lifetime. But a hitch remains: the signal has not been retrieved from other sky surveys, making it more anomaly than confirmable cosmic source. This odd, one-beam behavior could be caused by an alien transmission that simply went off the air during the 3 minutes between beams.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Sunday Magazine section, September 18, 1994
As he had done a thousand times, Jerry Ehman glanced over the Big Ear’s computer printouts, not really expecting to find anything unusual.
But what Ehman saw on that Aug. 15, 1977 - and his startled reaction - would be recorded in radio astronomy textbooks and discussed by researchers to this day.
Explanation of the Code ”6EQUJ5″
On the Wow! Computer Printout
By Jerry Ehman
Each of the first 50 columns of the computer printout shows the successive values of intensity (or power) received from the Big Ear radio telescope in each channel (10 kHz wide) in successive 12-second intervals (10 seconds was used for actual sampling and another approximately 2 seconds was needed for computer processing). In order to conserve space on the printout, Bob Dixon and I decided to use a coding method that would result in only one alphanumeric (i.e., either alphabetic or numeric) character for each intensity. The computer was programmed to keep a continuously-updated account for each channel of a baseline value and an rms value (rms stands for ”root mean square”, which is equivalent to the statistical term ”standard deviation”). The actual intensity (after the baseline value was subtracted out) was then divided by the rms value to obtain a scaled value (i.e., the number of standard deviations above the baseline). Since there was space for only one character to be displayed, we decided to take only the integer value of this scaled intensity for values in the range 0 to 9.999… . The truncated value of zero was printed as a blank (space). The truncated value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were printed directly. For scaled intensities of 10 to 35, inclusive, the capital letters of the alphabet were used. Thus a truncated value of 10 was printed as an ”A”, 11 as a “B”, etc. If the scaled intensity ever got to 36.0 or above, the program would simply start over again at zero (e.g., a truncated value of 38 would be printed the same as that of 38-35=3, namely a ”3″).
Thus, the ”6EQUJ5″ code in channel 2 means successive intensities as follows:
6 –> the range 6.0 - 6.999…
E –> the range 14.0 - 14.999…
Q –> the range 26.0 - 26.999…
U –> the range 30.0 - 30.999…
J –> the range 19.0 - 19.999…
5 –> the range 5.0 - 5.999…
The value ”U”, meaning the range 30.0 - 30.999…, was the largest value ever seen. We do not believe that the intensity ever got above 31.0 and hence no rollover (subtraction of 35) ever occurred. It would have been easy to spot in a sequence of 6 or 7 numbers that should follow the antenna pattern of the telescope.
The six successive values in channel 2 fit the antenna pattern of Big Ear very well. I have also done a correlation analysis of the six data points with the mathematical functions: (1) gaussian = normal curve; and (2)(sin(x)/x)^2. The data fit each of those two functions very well with correlation coefficients of over 0.99 (i.e., almost a perfect fit). I also fit the data to each of the two actual antenna patterns (of the two horns) using the moderately strong radio source OY372. The correlation coefficients were again over 0.99. There was not enough difference between the two correlation coefficients to determine which horn the Wow! source was received in.
The Columbus man saw a signal so strong that it catapulted the Big Ear’s recording device off the chart. An excited Ehman scribbled ”Wow!” on the printout, a tag that is indelibly linked to the recording.
“I mean, without thinking, I wrote ’Wow!’ ” Ehman recalls. ”It was the most significant thing we had seen.”
Could it be man’s first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence? Ohio State University researchers weren’t sure. They trained the massive scope on that part of the sky for the next month, and have returned periodically since.
The signal hasn’t been recorded again. And although many point to it as a possible extraterrestrial intelligence sighting,
When we look at the stars in our sky, we see them ”twinkling”. That twinkling is due to each photon coming from the point source experiencing a slightly different travel path on the way to our eyes than other photons. The earth’s atmosphere accounts for nearly all of the differences imposed on these photons. We do not see the planets twinkle because a planet has an observable angular diameter and the effects applied to the photons from the various directions of the planet tend to average out.
When radio and optical waves travel through the interstellar medium (which is somewhat like our atmosphere except much more rarefied), those waves (photons) experience a kind of twinkling effect called ”interstellar scintillation”. It is possible for there to be an enhancement of the signal passing through this interstellar medium due to a partial coherence effect. If this effect did occur for the Wow! source, it still points to a signal originating many light-years away from us, thus tending to give more support for the hypothesis of a signal of an extraterrestrial origin.
ETI (ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence)
Thus, since all of the possibilities of a terrestrial origin have been either ruled out or seem improbable, and since the possibility of an extraterrestrial origin has not been able to be ruled out, I must conclude that an ETI (ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) might have sent the signal that we received as the Wow! source. The fact that we saw the signal in only one beam could be due to an ETI sending a beacon signal in our direction and then sending it in another direction that we couldn’t detect. Of course, being a scientist, I await the reception of additional signals like the Wow! source that are able to be received and analyzed by many observatories. Thus, I must state that the origin of the Wow! signal is still an open question for me. There is simply too little data to draw many conclusions. In other words, as I stated above, I choose not to ”draw vast conclusions from ’half-vast’ data”.

Who really is behind the Obama Health care reform legislation ?
ACORN for one
Why do they want Obamacare? An internal ACORN memo I obtained from August 2008 makes the motives clear. “Over our 38 years, health care organizing has never been a major focus either nationally or locally for ACORN,” wrote ACORN Philadelphia region director Craig Robbins. “But increasingly, ACORN offices around the country are doing work on health care.” The goal: “Building ACORN Power.” The memo outlines the ACORN/HCAN partnership and strategy of opposing any programs that rely on “unregulated private insurance” – and then parlaying political victory on government-run health care “to move our ACORN agenda (or at least part of it) with key electeds that we might otherwise not be able to pull off.”
ACORN and HCAN are linked by left-wing philanthropist Drummond Pike, who heads the non-profit Tides Foundation/Tides Center. As the tax disclaimer for HCAN discloses, “HCAN is related to Health Care for America Education Fund, a project of The Tides Center, a section 501(c)(3) public charity.” For decades, the Tides Center and its parent organization, the Tides Foundation, have seeded some of the country’s most radical activist groups of the Left, including the communist-friendly United for Peace and Justice, the jihadist-friendly National Lawyers Guild; and the grievance-mongering Council for American-Islamic Relations.
Pike is the same philanthropist who assisted ACORN founder Wade Rathke after his brother, Dale, was caught embezzling nearly $1 million from the community organizing group. Rathke sits on the Tides Foundation board of directors. In a conspiracy to cover up Dale Rathke’s massive theft of funds, Pike volunteered to buy a promissory note worth $800,000 to cover the debt. These are the populist do-gooders supposedly looking out for you and your health.
HCAN has a $40 million budget, with $10 million pitched in by Atlantic Philanthropies – a Bermuda-based organization fronted by Soros acolyte Gara LaMarche. Also in the money mix: Notorious Democrat donors Herb and Marion Sandler, the left-wing moguls who made billions selling shady subprime mortgages and helped Soros fund his vast network of left-wing activist satellites. By their side is billionaire Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, whose “Progressive Future” youth group has dispatched clueless volunteers armed with clipboards and to scare up support for Obamcare.
I’m hoping President Obama realizes that some of the folks who’ve been currying favor with him are not, as they claim, bringing “solutions” to the health care reform table. Most Americans — especially those who voted for him — want nothing to do with the kind of “reforms” they are peddling.
If you watched the president’s televised Q&A on ABC last Wednesday night, you probably noticed that one of the people in the audience was Ron Williams, the chairman and CEO of Aetna, Inc., the nation’s third largest health insurer, and currently one of the most profitable. But there are a few things that you should know about Williams.
Back in the ’90s, Aetna set out on an acquisition binge in its quest to become the biggest health insurer in the country. It got there by the end of the decade after spending billion of dollars for several competitors. By 1999 it had 21 million health plan members, the most any insurer had ever had at the time.
But, as often happens after buying sprees, Aetna soon came down with a bad case of buyers’ remorse. As it turned out, some of the customers it had paid top price for were not as profitable as Wall Street analysts and the big institutional investors who owned most of Aetna’s stock expected. When they took a closer look at what Aetna had bought, investors started deserting the company in droves. As a result, the company found its stock price in a free fall.
As the Wall Street Journal reported on August 13, 2004, Aetna’s pretax profits as a percentage of revenues began falling dramatically after peaking at about 12 percent in 1998. By 2001 the company was a basket case as far as Wall Street was concerned. It had to do something, and fast.
Probably the most important thing it did to turn itself around was recruit Williams from rival WellPoint, the ambitious for-profit company that was gobbling up Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans from coast to coast.
As the Journal reported, Williams promptly ordered a $20 million revamp of Aetna’s data systems. Health care analyst Joshua Raskin told the Journal that the new system that emerged from that investment, which Aetna dubbed the Executive Management Information System (EMIS for short), was “the single largest driver of the Aetna turnaround.” Why? Because it helped Aetna “identify and dump unprofitable corporate accounts.” How did it do the dumping? By jacking up premiums to unaffordable levels.
By the time the dumping — or purging, as it is frequently called in the industry — was done, Aetna had shed eight million of its 21 million members. It shrank so much that by the time it emerged from the Ron Williams-led turnaround, it had fewer members than when the company started out on its multi-billion dollar buying binge.
While Aetna was shedding those eight million men, women and children, by the way, it also reportedly shed 15,000 of its employees. Wall Street likes it when insurers dump employees, too, because the workers who don’t get the ax have to assume the responsibilities of their laid-off colleagues. That theoretically boosts productivity, which Wall Street likes. And reducing the payroll leaves more money for profits.
The health insurance industry and its allies are working hard right now to convince you that the creation of a public insurance option would put a government bureaucrat between you and your doctor. As the 2004 Wall Street Journal article makes it clear, however, EMIS was at its heart a system that put corporate bureaucrats between people and their doctors. Here’s what it saId:
Mr. Williams says EMIS helps him ferret out creeping costs so Aetna can react quickly. Sitting in his first-floor office in Hartford overlooking the Aetna parking lot, he taps on his keyboard to see whether some of the health insurer’s members are visiting emergency rooms too much for nonemergency reasons, such as for the flu or a sprained ankle.
Did that send a chill up your spine like it did mine? And know this, if Aetna’s CEO can keep an eye on your trips to the doctor, so can the CEOs of all the other big insurers.
The insurance industry claims that this time it really and truly supports legislation to reduce the number of people without insurance, that they’ve changed so much since 1994 — when they said the same thing but did everything they could behind the scenes to kill reform — that you can and should believe them now.
The next time you hear someone from the industry talking about how much they are committed to reform, remember that just a few years ago, the CEO of one of the biggest health insurers was the mastermind behind a business strategy that cost thousands of workers their jobs and millions of other people their insurance coverage. That’s the real “solution” the industry is bringing to the table — and the kind of reform Wall Street can really get behind.
Ron Williams has been richly rewarded by Aetna’s board of directors for leading the company back to a level of profitability suitable to Wall Street. They tapped him to succeed Jack Rowe as CEO when Rowe retired in 2006. And they rewarded him with compensation totaling nearly $65 million over the past two years.
(Rowe, by the way, was paid $22.2 million in 2005, his last full year as CEO. He played a big role in hawking the high-deductible plans that Aetna and the other big insurers are now trying to push us all into. He claimed that Americans enrolled in managed care plans have been too sheltered from the real costs of health care and that we need to have more “skin in the game,” by which he meant that we should have to pay a lot more out of our own pockets when we go to the doctor and pick up our prescriptions, even if we have health insurance. The median family income in the United States is just $50,000, which means that most of us already have a lot more skin in the game than Dr. Rowe and Ron Williams will ever need to.)
The insurance industry’s two biggest lobbying groups — America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association of America — warned members of Congress in a joint letter a few days ago that the creation of a public insurance option would unravel the country’s employer-based system.
As they say where I come from, that dog won’t hunt.
It is the insurance company executives — in their never-ending quest to meet Wall Street’s profit expectations — who are doing the unraveling by purging employers whose workers have the audacity to file claims when they get sick or injured.
A final point about Ron Williams: Not only are he and his fellow CEOs trying to kill the idea of a public health insurance option — a central part of candidate Obama’s health care proposal — but he is the leading advocate of an idea Obama rejected and which differentiated his proposal from Hillary Clinton’s — the imposition on all of us of an “individual mandate.” Many insurance executives were wary of such a mandate because they don’t like the government mandating anything, especially those pesky state mandates that force them to include certain benefits in the policies they sell. Advocates of an individual mandate eventually brought the skeptics, including many of AHIP’s board members, around to their way thinking by persuading them that insurers could make billions more in profits if every American had to buy an insurance policy from them. Now you know the real reason behind AHIP’s shift from neutrality on the issue to full-fledged support. It’s all about the money.

Out of Brazen Libertarianism will emerge the Beloved Yolk. Golden chains will be woven and arise out of the poetry of the free thinkers and luminous returning to GOD will also arise from the secular literature.
Libertarianism advocates the maximization of individual liberty. By this freedom of spirit those liberated souls will reach for the highest things. Libertarians embrace viewpoints across that spectrum. Their openness will lead them to discover wonders of spirituality past the confines of most “religious”. Libertarianism support strong personal rights to life and liberty. They blaze their own path in the known road to the GOD. Libertarians are opposed to arbitrary structures of authority and hierarchy in personal relations and the larger social order. The “dogma” of the Religious structures and culture they flee from
only the truth they hold dear it is this which Liberates them.
These “ Golden chains woven “ are the strong connection to the GOD which impels them to proceed to returning closer and closer to the most infinite highest connection. They will see the Godliness in all things. From all this they have a luminous returning
The love of all creation comes first ,then comes the love of all mankind. Then follows the love of the Jewish people, in which all loves are included
Awakening the Holiness in Every Language
(from Kovetz Alef, section 887)
In an age when we witness a powerful attraction to the study of languages and science, it is impossible to fight against all who are drawn towards them. Indeed, the times and the signs of the day indicate the necessity [for these studies]. The inner righteous, with their mystical service, come to the rescue at this hour. With nobility of spirit, they open up the blocked conduits and establish the mystical secret of God in ”His studies.” These studies encompass all that is in the universe, especially that which advances the world’s progress.
The righteous awaken the holiness hidden in each language. They utilize the power of Joseph, who incorporated all [of the physical world] with the Hebrew letter Hey [that was added to Joseph's name, see Sotah 36b]. They apply the power of the Divine word from Sinai, which illuminates with an ever-increasing light. ”Each Divine command split up into seventy languages” (Shabbat 88b).
Similarly, we find that Moses explained the Torah be’er heitev, ”very clearly” (Deut. 27:8) [acc. to Sotah 32b, in seventy languages]. Moses uncovered the essence of good in every language, the inner force that introduced it from holy Majesty. The language itself is thus clarified and refined. Then we may present a ”language of clarity” to all nations, so that “all will be able to call out in the name of God” (Zephania 3:9).
