Jewish Priorities My Love For Jews STAYS THE SAME
To my fellow Jews:
We have to stick together. Do you see what is happening all around you? There are some Jews that need convincing that we have to take care of ourselves and each other. The reality is that everybody else takes care of everybody else, but only Jews take care of Jews.
In my time in the USA and in Israel, I have seen how we have many different ways to be Jewish. In America, where Judaism is understood more like a spiritual practice and religion, there are so many ways to participate in the traditions, holidays and rituals. In Israel, the nationalities, ethnicities, and culture are so vast, in every corner you find different head coverings for men and women, and completley different food and celebrations. From Ethiopia to Yemen, and from Hassidim to all the varieties of Sefardim. My own family is a mix of former Soviet Union Ashkenazi and Kafkazi. Some of the Jewish communities were untouched by the Holocaust and have had their traditions and celebrations for thousands of years uninterrupted.
The virtue signaling, herd mentality and disconnected Jews are the most disturbing. How the brain can believe lies and popular narratives is so absurd. I am grateful to be grounded in truth and integrity. The IDF is the most moral army in the world, they are our brothers and sisters. Many leave their families so Israel can be safe for all, and that Jews all over the world know that there is one place that is truly their home. Please understand that we have no other home. We are world citizens, and contribute to every part of the world that we reside. However, the disease of Antisemitism eventually rears its head, and the people find it very easy to hate and blame Jews. October 7 was the first time I personally experienced antisemitism. I can pass for every culture under the sun, and have never experienced baseless hatred, racism or antisemitism to my face before that horrific day. What shocks me the most is that it was videoed live, first hand testimonies, and recorded phone calls of blood thirsty terrorists excitedly telling their families how many Jews they murdered. No other people in the world were doubted, requested proof, moreover, most of the maimed, dismembered and raped men and women were killed and could not speak for themselves.
ATTENTION FELLOW JEWS: IF WE ARE NOT HERE FOR EACH OTHER FULLY, THE ASSIMILATION, BRAINWASHING AND TRYING TO HIDE FROM WHO YOU REALLY ARE WILL EITHER JUST DISCONNECT YOU OR BE THE REASON FOR OUR DEMISE. BARUCH HASHEM I KNOW ONE HUNDRED PERCENT THAT OUR CREATOR IS IN CHARGE, AND I WILL BE CONNECTED, FIGHTING AND STANDING LOUD AND PROUD UNTIL THE END.
ONE DAY, GOD WILLING TODAY, MASHIACH WILL COME AND INSTEAD OF ENVY AND JEALOUSY, THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD WILL ACCEPT, RESPECT AND UNITE WITH JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD. UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ALL UNIQUE, AND THERE IS NO COMPETITION OR COMPARISON. WE ALL EACH PERSON HAS THEIR OWN PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS, FOR STANDING WITH HUMANITY, AND NOT LEAVING JEWS OUT. THANK YOU TO OUR ALLIES, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND FELLOW WARRIORS!
JEWISH PRIORITIES
Living in Israel in the middle of war made me feel safer than any other place in the world. Right now in Los Angeles, there are panic buttons in schools, just in case a child gets senselessly attacked. In Israel, you know who your enemies are, and you know that everything possible is done for your safety. We know exactly what to do and where to go, everything else is God’s plan. I feel peace in the unknown, because I can completely give up control, it is not up to me at all, Thank God! We have Jewish priorities, in Israel, as missiles were falling, we had to light candles and make kiddush. In between sirens, we had to start our Pesach Seder. Sometimes in the middle of services, someone would run into our synagogue and announce a terrorist has been eliminated. We are not on our phones, and are by law and by choice completely disconnected from the outside world. No matter what is happening, we step off of nature, and become beyond nature. Shabbat is the secret of Jewish peace, we let go and let God. That is the day we stop creating, because even God rested on the seventh day. Did you know that besides the months of the year, and all the different scientific reasons for various calendars, that the days of the week are divine. There is no other source for the days of the week, it is directly from the Torah. Other cultures and religions may have variations about each day, but the number 7 is directly from our creator.
First Torah, Then the How.
Yoram P. did it again with a simple truth. We have the Yetzer Hara, which is the evil inclination. This is where choice fails us sometimes, because the feel good seems obvious and why not. Unfortunately, it is ALWAYS a feel bad afterwards.
However, The Yetzer Tov, the path of integrity, truth and the right thing to do, feels good when you do it, and feels good afterward.
The draw is so intense, because today’s Avoda Zara, idol worship is money and success. It is the illusion of having it all, but once you get there you feel empty. YOU WILL FEEL EMPTY.
There is more, but only you can figure out what your more is. Here is how I figure out my more.
HOW?
What I love the most in the world is self care. It is the only way I can operate from a balanced place and be there one hundred percent for everyone and everything in my life. Safe care is my secret, and here is what it looks like. I have peace inside, ALWAYS, because I know ultimately “IT” is not up to me. My body holds on to all the tension and stress, and with my birthday around the corner, I am always listening to my body. I do not want it to get stuck, to collapse or to break. It is non negotiable, I ALWAYS COME FIRST NO MATTER WHAT. Thank God my family knows this and supports when I know it is me time.
What have I done in Los Angeles? Seen my favorite Body Work Genius, Doron Menna, my massage queen, Mollie Wine, my favorite adjustment at the Chiropractic Center of Los Angeles on La Brea and Beverly, and today the one of a kind Gilli Stuppel with accupunture and cupping. What a year I have had, and what I missed was the people and all the Jewish healing energy. I specifically mean the Jewish part, because it comes from the source, many people have a source, but not THE SOURCE, IYKYK.
This is what works for me.
Figure out what works for you.
Wishing everyone a new year full of happiness, health and success!
