Reb Moshe of Tzfat Blog (No Signup Required to post)
It has been a while since I posted on the blog. The internet is constantly changing and people are interested in different content. However, there are years worth of Torah writings in this blog. Many highlighted points I have included in my printed books, please check them out on my website.
I am wishing everyone a happy new year and only blessings!
There have been many strange weather patterns around the world. A lot of destruction and many plane crashes. Is Hashem showing His hand to send the world a message that the messianic age has begun?
Thanks to Hashem, my books are in the final editing stage before publishing. It will be an exciting year!
I was sitting at the Kotel and a man asked me if its okay to smoke there. I said at first I am not sure and another person said, its not proper. When the other person left, I leaned over to him and told him. I answered you different because I see things in gray shades, how do i know if your smoke is not holier then the person there praying with a book. The offerings in the temple went to Heaven in smoke. He then trusted me with his secret. He came all the way from Tiberias today to pray because the doctors don’t know how to help him. He is an egged bus driver and he suddenly is blind in one eye. I told him, It is from Hashem we met, I took out my phone list and gave him a phone number of someone who will get him to the best Doctor in all of Israel who hopefully with Hashem’s help will heal his eye. (This is what happens when people travel all day, we feel more open to talk to strangers and with this, we open each others hearts and see how we are all connected.)
Happy Rosh Hashanah from Jerusalem. May you all be blessed with a fruitful year in all ways!
I have moved from Tzfat to Jerusalem as a new experience of growth
It’s been a while since I have blogged as Facebook has taken over this realm. I do miss sharing my thoughts here and I do hope you will go through some of the Torah archives left here.
I wish you all a true going out of Egypt with new success and happiness in your life!
10 big lessons to learn from America’s, USA MISTAKES. 1. First work on yourself before fixing others. 2. If you see a problem with someone, usually it means you have this same mistake in yourself that your recognizing. Fix that first (Talmud) 3. When you grow haunty and think of yourself as the best, honor runs away from you. Those who run away from pride, pride runs after them. 4. Wars & fighting is never the answer. 5. The strength of a nation is in the simple folk of the population as Chassidus teaches us. Give power back to the people. 6. The Torah teaches us to be charitable, force the banks help a person get a job before foreclosing on their home. 7. The grass isn’t greener on the other side (voting democratic this last term.) 8. First give charity to your own city before others (Talmud) Billions of dollars are sent abroad. 9. If you don’t take care of your body, your soul will also suffer.(Talmud, Rambam) No health insurance.. unhealthy people… soul is affected. 10. Jerusalem is the heart of the world, if I forget Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. (Psalms 137
The baby is named after Reb Dovid of Lelov and Reb Shmelka of Nikolsburg. Also the names of King David, Shmuel the Prophet
I spent the afternoon with the Nikolsburg Rebbe, his sons and chassidim. Tzfat is known to have the cleanest, holiest air in all the world and being with the holy Tzaddik today made the air of Tzfat even fresher to me. I hadn’t seen my holy Rav in 6 years and it was an experience that had me speechless through most of the afternoon.
Happy Pesach
