The year of our reckoning comes at another existential crossroads. Tests and transformations are in
the air. A man is 'zachar' denoting an essence of rememberance - 'zocher'. Woman is nekava for being on line with God's
intention. Let us remember to have faith that in fearing God alone and being true to His agenda lie all of our successful
options. May GOD bless HIS faithful and righteous servants with the desires of their souls and may this year be the year of mankind's
awakening and humanity's deliverance from the illusory world which keeps us ensnared in egoistic drives. May we liberate ourselves
and unite with God in the redemption of His Creation so all of mankind and all of His creatures can enjoy the beautiful creation
He made for us.
It is especially time for Israel to wake up and start applying the principles of the written Torah so the
world can finally see a genuine demonstration of how God delivers blessing to those who genuinely comply with His written
Torah.
Remember that a man' i.e., "zachar" remembers what God wants because he has overcome the snares of his ego.
If he is successful, God blesses him. If he remains in the realm of the illusory world created by millions and billions of
egos, then blessings are not forthcoming. So if the nation of Israel is under seige and anti-semitism is proliferating, it
is because there are no men ( Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Jeremiah 5:1 ). Israel must learn to actually "love the Lord our
God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our might". Just saying these words are not; never were, and never
will be a substitute. God is quite serous about that - in case you haven't noticed from thousands of years of His story. Only
the genuine love of God will help change the focus of our lives from egoistic pursuits to Divine ones. It will
also save our lives. You see, anti-semitism isn't really about a simple hatred of the nation of Israel. Anti-semitism is hatred
of the false representation of Israel. On June 5th 1967, anti-semitism was on the run! Likewise, when Israel is the pure,
God - loving and God - serving representative and servant of the Lord God of Israel, anti-semitism will have out-lived
its purpose!!!
When God commanded Israel to love Him ( Deuteronomy 6:4 ), it was, among other things, to
provide a strategic path for success in all of life's aspects.
You have to ask yourselves, when Israel's leaders 2000 + years ago began applying a foreign, Greek, format
of democratic operation in applying the Torah, were they truly being men who loved their God ? Is not blowing the Shofar on
Yom Ha Zickaron an act of loving the Lord our God ? THINK about it ? I blew the Shofar loud and clear in my home. Did
you ? And what about His New Year feast or commemoration ? There is so much we have ignored and done wrong, which
our busy religious lives prevent us from noticing. But if you sit down with the Hebrew Bible and read for even a few
minutes a day; your grip on reality will start to grew. And in time you can expect to develop a clear understanding of
how your actions affect your destiny. In time you will reach a dimension which will seem magical. You will be present to God,
and He will be present to you. His creation will grow responsive to you and you will see the Hand of God. You will also
love Him - more and more. You will be His servant and He will be your God because you have genuinely joined Him in His
work of creating the world in which He intends to dwell. It is true that a part of you will die. The false self,
i.e., the ego will be deprived of the gratifications which were encultured by egoes which at best only paid lip service to
God and His Kingdom. But as it weakens its hold on your soul, you will experience a revitalization of your soul and a personal
power you never expected. You are becoming a vehicle animated by the Spirit of the Creator. And this at one ment with
your God will not be something you will ever want to abandon again. This is the right choice, the best choice and the only
one which brings the life your soul desires. It's also the easy choice. It's so simple. Some one out there should write the
book, The Bible for Those Who Love Life. A step by step instruction book would be a good way to learn to comply with God's
biblical laws. But reading and doing as you go through the year is a good start to the good life.
