Did you ever see something like this?
A mother marching towards her son's burial, while reminding us what this whole time in life is all about?
Do you need to see anything else till Mashiach comes?
This is the mother of Sergeant Binyamin Meir Airley z'l hy'd
When you bump into an engaged couple who most probably had different wedding preparation planning, the heart celebrates with an abundance of joy.
Mazal Tov Noah and Shira
Two 19 year old precious flowers, who were plucked yesterday while guarding my family, are being laid to rest right now. Pardon me for not offering a peirush on Will Smith today.
This may be the most powerful footage one has ever seen. A holocaust survivor, a great grandfather, serving as the sandak at his 49th great grandchild, as the siren goes off, this morning in Eretz Yisrael.
To all those on their way to Washington today - you are so precious.
You are light, you are love.
Sending Brachas and all our love from here.
One big family
One family
One
We have a son. Our four princesses have a brother. Giving infinite thanks to the Master of all souls, and to this precious little Kohen’s heroic mother. The world is filled with new light.
A few days ago I posted a chilling 30 second video of a woman who was on her way to burry her precious son, who had given his life in Azza, for you and for me.
As I walked into the shiva home today, it was clear that this family can only be consoled with the coming of Mashiach.
Dear

,
Dear Mr. Cuban, You have done so much for the Jewish community. Stuff we know and plenty we don’t know of.
However the day will come where you will never be able to forgive yourself if you don’t chose a side today.
BREAKING NEWS:
@Amareisreal
quits working as an assistant coach for the Brooklyn Nets “because it’s difficult to be a coach and keep Shabbos”.
He also addresses the medias desire to create fake controversy between him &
@KyrieIrving
for clickbait purposes.
A true INSPIRATION.
A number of years ago, my dear friend Rabbi Mordechai Zeller brought me to the famous Cairo Geniza, located in the Cambridge University Library. I will never forget the moment I held a letter/prescription of spices handwritten by the ARIZAL himself.
Efrat is crying, Gush Etsyon is crying, Yerushalayim is crying, the whole country is crying.
But our soldiers continue to fight
We continue the brave journey towards destiny.
When your soul brother comes to visit and pours out his heart like only he knows how… in the Shul that is just about ready for a load of heart pouring …
When we came to be menachem avel by the Granot family, who lost their precious son, Amitai z'l hy'd, the father, Rav Tamir, said 'it's time to daven’
He told his son Hadar to go to the piano, and then this happened.
It is hard to believe a person like him ever existed
It is just as hard to believe that he is no longer in this world
You were so present while remaining such a secret
Lechayim Rebbe
We have not given up yet
And have no plans to give up either
1. Who do we really know?
Rav Leo Dee lives in our neighborhood.
Rav Leo Dee was a yeshiva mate of mine when studying together for smicha at Yeshivat Hamivtar, nearly 20 years ago.
1) I didn’t lead Slichot with my guitar last night, I never do.
But I’m so glad that we live in a time where so many others did.
Our holy tradition is so vast, big and encompassing.
I’m fortunate to be the son of a Ba’al Tefila, where nusach is home.
Our situation here in Eretz Hakodesh is demanding of each and every one of us to up our game.
Ahavat Yisrael, extra Awareness and Caution, extra learning, Tehilim, Tzedaka, whatever you can think of.
Now is the time.
We are the light of the world.
I take upon myself to pause while looking at this moment, taken 48 hours before Yaniv and Hallel, the precious boys of the Yaniv family, were murdered int he streets of Eretz yisrael.
This family will NEVER have another family picture again. What will my day be like?
I looked into the eyes of the giant of our generation, and he looked right into mine. What I saw … I’ll never know. It seemed to me that I was looking at a very young child, as well as the oldest man in the world
It’s true, you can be a tremendous Eved Hashem (servant of G-d) outside the land, but on days like today, you can’t have the unfortunate and painful opportunity to cry and bleed with the soul of Am Yisrael unless you are here, in Erez Yisrael.
Sometimes it just hits you while your heart is opening ... very emotional day with my dear friend Shlomo Gaisin, in Yerushalayim. Working on something long overdue
קוֹל דְּמֵי אָחִיךָ צֹעֲקִים אֵלַי מִן־הָאֲדָמָה
When Chappelle, Kanye or Kyrie are more on our mind than the three Jews who who were murdered this morning in Eretz Yisrael...
I had the merit to daven with thousands of people in the streets of Yerushalayim tonight. But to be truthful, I only saw three faces in the crowd.
Lucy, Maya and Rina Dee.
Today is the 59th yarzeit of my Zaidy, Shlomo Katz z'l, Shlomo ben Shmuel Hakohen. A Yid who saw hell, losing a wife and two children in WW2. Despite the horror, he chose life.
כבר כמה שנים שהרב מנחם פרנקל מחב"ד ברחובות, מציע ליהודי הזה להניח תפילין.
7 שנים שהיהודי הזה שעבד בניקוי גופות באושוויץ - מסרב.
היום הרב ניסה שוב והקשיש נעתר.
תשמעו איך התפילה עדיין שגורה בפיו.
עם ישראל חי!
There have been three pairs of eyes staring right at me all week.
There have been three pairs of eyes, asking me where I am at, what am I feeling, and what life as a Jew, living in the Holy Land, is all about?
It’s okay to be human, and pause from the beauty, splendor and Simcha of Succot - and look into these precious eyes that will never be open again. Ido Baruch, a twenty-one year old soldier, was killed this morning, while protecting you and me.
HUGE FIND - only video footage of Uvnei Osa, 4 days after being composed, 3 months before petira. with yehuda katz, and chaim dovid on background vocals... full video will be out in 2 hours on youtube (already on fb)
Nobody would have chosen to open the gates this way. Nobody. But the gates are open. Let's choose to walk through them, and to make them wider as we do.
One of my greatest Rebbes left the world last week, she left us a much more beautiful and real world. It’s on us now... it’s on us to internalize her definition of ובחרת בחיים
“The first Friday night will be difficult… and the next… and the next… it’s ok to cry and it’ll be ok to find joy again… that will give your mother strength…”
Earlier this week, I had the privilege of sharing with Rav Meilech Biderman how lucky we all feel to be drinking from the well of his wellsprings. His eyes say it all. He took in every word. The Rebbe was taken by our chèvre
When someone who knew you your whole life passes, it's very sad. When someone who loved you your whole like passes, part of you will never be the same. Don Kates z' was was a living embodiment of someone who lives for Am Yisrael. What a zchut to have loved and be loved by him.
It’s been two days since being in Be’eri, and I haven’t begun to internalise any of it. But I live in Eretz Yisrael with my beautiful family, and have our soldiers in my heart evety second. I want all my brothers and sisters to join me. It’s our destiny, it’s the next chapter.
מי כעמך ישראל... מי כעמך ישראל... מי כעמך ישראל
I can't believe the melave malka my wife I were privliged to take part of last night... still processing... still processing the fact that I'm part of the same people that the Ish-Rans are part of
