Saved You a Seat

Nonreligious Jews will spend years studying Buddhism, meditation, stoicism, psychedelics, crystals, breathwork, and the spiritual philosophy of a guy named River who lives in a yurt and charges $4,000 for a weekend retreat.

Then someone suggests they study Judaism and suddenly they’re allergic.

Which is funny, because Judaism already has what many of them are searching for.

Mindfulness? We call it kavanah, intentional focus.

Gratitude practice? We have blessings for food, wine, bread, waking up, seeing beauty, hearing thunder, and surviving danger. Judaism basically says, “Before you enjoy anything, pause and recognize it is not random.”

Community? We invented the minyan.

Ethics? Try Pirkei Avot. Ancient Jewish wisdom that somehow sounds like your therapist, your grandmother, and a courtroom judge teamed up.

Mysticism? Kabbalah, complete with footnotes.

Debate? The Talmud: thousands of pages of rabbis arguing across centuries, because Judaism looked at certainty and said, “Cute. Let’s discuss.”

Healing? Teshuvah. Return. Not just repentance, but the radical belief that you can repair, grow, and become more fully yourself.

Meaning? Shabbat. A weekly protest against being reduced to productivity. One day a week where Judaism says, “You are not your inbox. You are not your job. You are not your notifications. Sit down. Eat. Bless. Rest. Be human.”

And identity?

Judaism does not ask you to disappear into vague universal spirituality. It asks you to remember who you are.

That is the part many secular Jews miss.

They think Judaism is only religion.

Rules.

Guilt.

Hebrew school trauma with stale cookies.

But Judaism is not just a religion.

It is a civilization.

A people.

A language.

A memory.

A moral inheritance.

A 3,500-year-old conversation you were born into, even if you have been standing outside the room pretending not to hear the music.

So yes, explore the world. Learn from others. Wisdom is not threatened by curiosity.

But maybe before searching every foreign mountain for enlightenment, open the book your ancestors carried through exile, fire, pogroms, inquisitions, and gas chambers.

You may discover that what you were looking for was already sitting at your own table.

Probably next to the challah.

And knowing Jews, someone was saving you a seat.

WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP NEGOTIATED THE MOU.

I have been flooded with questions from the media and supporters including my own children about this question here is my understanding in a nutshell:

1. President Trump has not flipped or abandoned Israel. His support for the Jewish State and the Jewish People is incontestable. I have published a list of what he has done in his first term and thus far in this term.

2. President Trump has decided that winning the November midterms and preventing the Dems from taking control of Congress is of paramount importance given the certainty that if this were to happen the opposition will seek to impeach him and derail his Administration’s foreign and domestic policies for the balance of his second term. That the Democratic Party has lost its collective mind is also incontestable.

3. Because American voters vote their pocketbooks and not security and foreign policy issues and are tired of wars, in order to have a chance to win the Midterms, President Trump needs to put the Iran War on pause for the time being, reduce inflation, lower energy and food prices, keep the stock markets booming, stabilize world markets etc. This is how he sees American interests at this time and I agree.

4. The MOU is only an agreement to negotiate and to maintain a ceasefire for the time being . President Trump has all the cards and can determine how much he is willing to ease the US stranglehold on Iran and its proxies.

5. President Trump excluded Israel from the MOU which either by design or default gives Israel a free hand to protect its vital national security interests in Lebanon, Syria and even Iran.

6. I don’t like the content of the MOU or the tone of certain statements from the WH defending it, but that’s politics in an election year. The bottom line is the relationship between Israel and the U.S. is strong and inviolable. Israel will protect its interests and so will the U.S. protect the American public, including U.S. 750,000 U.S. citizens in Israel.

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

I have faith in President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Almighty God. Have a restful Shabbat and a great weekend.

Now that we have established that Covid was man-made, and that the US were funding gain-of-function research at biolabs around the world, including Ukraine…

The question becomes, why the Biden admin cover all this up? Because Covid is how they stole the 2020 election…

Yes, I am alleging that the Democrats, intentionally released a man-made biological weapon, via their foreign black site USAID-funded labs, to justify mass mail-in ballots, in which they harvested and delivered to deep blue counties in swing states. Covid was the next phase of the treasonous coup, after the Russia hoax and impeachment attempts failed.

The reason the Dems/MSM have been frantically trying to cover up Covid’s origins, and the funding at the labs in Ukraine, is because they are trying to cover their tracks. The Dems released Covid to stop Trump, and that’s what all this is really about. They are guilty of crimes against humanity.

Notice how Tulsi has been working on the biolabs in Ukraine, as well as fraud in the 2020 election… these two things are connected!

TREASON!

WHAT IF HEZBOLLAH WAS A MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL FIRING MISSILES INTO OUR COUNTRY?

Simple questions:  What would we do if Mexican drug cartels fired thousands of missiles into our country, depopulating the Southwestern part of the United States?  Would we limit our response to defensive military action?  Would we halt attacking their main location because it was near a city?  What would we do?

We parked a floating airport on Iran’s porch, deleted their Navy/Air Force, killed all their leaders, shut down all imports/exports, took over the global flow of crude oil, negotiated deals with their allies like China, and now we are going to take all the uranium.

Anyone claiming the US “lost”, in any capacity, is either a bot or a brainwashed simpleton. Not only did Trump and the US MIL win, it was arguably the most decisive and impressive military victory in human history. The US MIL barely even suffered a scratch at the hands of the Iranians. We even recovered downed pilots deep inside enemy territory, with zero casualties.

This operation was so one-sided and precise, people hesitate to even call it a “war” because it has been more like a controlled extermination, by a vastly superior and advanced military force.

Anyone saying that we “lost”, is either knowingly or unknowingly spreading Iranian/Democrat propaganda. They aren’t serious people. Their only objective is to smear Trump by any means necessary. Reality is irrelevant to them.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following:

-USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation.

-Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done.

-Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front.

-Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing.

-Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon.

-Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz.

Deal should have 2 phases:

Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium.

Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief.

Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days.

“If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says.

SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort.

Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz.

If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing.

“Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

What REALLY happened was, Deep State bot farms manipulated dumb influencers to spread anti-Israel propaganda, via positive reinforcement and dopamine loops.

Anytime they posted “Jews bad”, they were rewarded with lots of clicks.

So they repeated the process, over and over, until they were subconsciously spreading Iranian/Deep State propaganda, in wartime.

This entire Israel obsession on the internet was astroturfed by nefarious entities. It’s not real. The popularity of this mindset was massively overstated and misrepresented online. It was all an illusion.

It’s really a very small but very loud minority, who have been duped into believing they had more influence than they truly did. It was all an op.

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump

[Rabbi Poupko @RabbiPoupko]

That is Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda, commander of the CARACAL unit near Gaza.

On the morning of October 7th, she opened her eyes and saw Hamas in front of her.

“I look up at the sky, then lower my head again, glance to the side, and there are maybe five pickup trucks coming toward me, full of motorcycle riders. There are terrorists leaping between the sand dunes and the trees, all of them wearing vests and uniforms, moving in our direction, and I can’t even count them properly with my eyes. It’s hundreds. Hundreds.

And farther back, on the distant road, I see columns of Gazan civilians simply walking toward us, some armed, some not.

And I say to myself: ‘That’s it. This is where I die. Right here, exactly where I’m standing now. This is where I die.’

Then I said to myself: Fine. If this is the end, then I’ll end it well. I’ll die with honor. I’ll do the best I can. And I’ll fight until my very last drop of blood.

So I turn to my soldiers, a group of twelve heroic fighters waiting for me to tell them what to do. I turn to them with half a smile.

Later, they told me I smiled; I didn’t remember it.
And I tell them: ‘Come on, let’s tear them apart!’
And they all shout back: ‘Yalla!!!’

They come to the embankment with machine guns, with everything they can carry, and we position ourselves there and start firing at everyone approaching the outpost. We’re shooting like mad. At some point, we had a LAU missile with us, so we fired it at one of the Hamas pickup trucks. The truck exploded in a massive blast, something unbelievable. There must have been huge amounts of explosives inside, and the explosion took several of the motorcycle riders with it.
And little by little, I suddenly realize many of them are beginning to retreat, turn around, and flee back the way they came.

And suddenly I understood: yes, we’re doing something significant here.

We were there for about half an hour, and then, in the middle of all the chaos, I suddenly hear the tracks of a tank behind me.

It was an unbelievable sigh of relief.

I told my deputy company commander: ‘Stay here! I don’t know whose tank this is — I’m going to get it!’
It was already around eleven o’clock. I start moving backward, advancing toward the tank through the concrete barriers, and suddenly I realize a terrorist is jumping at me from point-blank range, and in another second, he would’ve been hugging me.

And my luck was that I already had a round in the chamber and my finger on the trigger. It was literally a question of who shoots first, and I shot first.
The terrorist collapsed in front of me.

And I froze for a moment, like, what was that? What just happened?
Then I hear my deputy commander yelling from behind me:
‘Commander! Commander! Are you okay?’
I look at myself, I’m okay.
I turn back toward him and signal with my hand: everything’s under control.
He runs up after me, looks at me, and says, ‘What… what just happened between you two?’
And I tell him: ‘Exactly what’s going through your head right now.’
But the tank!

I remember — I can’t let it leave. We need it.
I ran quickly toward it, and because I’m used to working with my tank crews, I started signaling to them in tank hand signals: ‘Terrorists there, behind me, do this, shell over there!’

And he’s with us, he understands immediately.

And for the first time, I suddenly have additional force joining me.
We make some kind of flanking maneuver, take up a strong position, and simply fire toward wherever the terrorists are coming from. We keep firing and firing, and they start pulling back. And I understand — all of us understand — that if we don’t continue fighting right now, those terrorists will get past us and reach all the communities behind us.

At a certain point, my deputy commander and his radio operator are hit by an RPG and collapse to the ground. So we pull them out of there.

Then I call friends of mine who are pilots flying Yasur and Yanshuf helicopters, and I ask them to come land at the helipad near the outpost, because I’ve evacuated wounded soldiers there and I need them to clear our casualties out. And it actually happens. They arrive, they land, and they evacuate the wounded for me.

Meanwhile, my medical unit is there the entire time treating casualties, loading them up, evacuating them to the helipad. We managed to bring there the wounded from the APC we had seen, the wounded from our battalion, and several civilians we picked up along the way — people who escaped from Kibbutz Sufa, from Pri Gan, and from other places. They all received treatment from my incredible medical team — those angels — and the helicopters I called in evacuated them to Soroka Hospital, where they finally received proper care.

There were also many dead in that battle.
There were dead.
And I remember one moment at the end, when everything was over, just minutes before they came to evacuate the bodies. There was a moment when they were lying there side by side, and I walked between them, gently touching their faces, stroking them softly, telling them I was sorry, and closing their eyes.

And I remember telling myself in that moment that those people, who were now making their final journey, were unbelievable heroes. They fought there like lions to save Kibbutz Sufa. They fought until their last drop of blood."
