BOOMERANG! PART II: The supervolcano under Rome, Syria, and Jew hatred...Happy new year, enjoy, but don't forget to pray, and pray hard!


BS"D

To all, Shalom!

Today is the last day of the secular year - here in Israel at least - and I wanted to quickly tell you an amazing story that happened to me recently. It is tied with everything going on in the world right now, particularly with regard to the Vatican and the Holy Land of Israel.

If you have been following this blog for a while, you know that I had done a lot of research on the Vatican and Israel, specially in 2009, the year pope Benedikt XVI visited Israel. I wrote two major research papers on the topic, one tying in with the other, the first in 2006, then the next one in 2009, which you can find in this blog; not to mention countless other papers following the goings-on between Israel and the Vatican; all that while Benedikt was pope. I pretty much stopped the research once he resigned giving up his seat to the current pope, Francis.

Lo and behold, on Xmas day, December 25th, 2018, a very antisemitic website, link below, decided to quote my most important research paper about the Vatican and Israel, titled "Perfect Crime: The Vatican's Plot to Rob Am Yisrael of Jerusalem,...", as one of their main sources. Notice the long comment below the link to that article, "2009":

https://phibetaiota.net/2018/12/cardinal-joe-vatican-plans-for-palestine-jerusalem/

(The weird thing is, just a few hours before my article went viral thanks to that enemy website, I had posted a video featuring Wayne Jett, author of a new book which he sells on his blog using for PR reference the author of the website above; and yet when I asked Wayne about it he said he had had nothing to do with this; it was pure Siyatah Dishmayah!)

At any rate, this rekindled my interest in the topic of Rome and Israel. But what is even more remarkable is that against my wishes, I found myself in Rome twice in the last two months, forced to personally confront that irredentist city which proudly glorifies its cruel Roman past - so proud of the Coliseum built with the treasures of the destroyed Beth Hamikdash, where they pitted countless hapless Jewish and other victims against ferocious lions; not to mention the fact that the source of all antisemitism on this planet, the Vatican, sits in its midst like an evil queen. You even have a female idol of you know who standing at the entrance of its international airport! And all of a sudden my research resurfaces, on Xmas day, just on time for the new Syrian reality created by Trump.

If you look up the labels "Syria", " Vatican schemes and lies" on this blog, you will find that the evidence is clear: the whole Syrian episode was planned in Rome. And not only Syria: Libya as well (and al). The plan was to surround Israel with Arab enemies who would do the dirty work for Rome, which did not want to sacrifice its own soldiers.

About the inability of NATO to conquer Israel, and their approach, read the study of Professor Gaub of the NATO College of Rome, 2010, available here on NATO stationary, with a map:

https://www.files.ethz.ch/isn/113834/rp_57.pdf

 ( In a more recent PDF version of the paper which I am not including here, Gaub changed the title to NATO IN PALESTINE. The Holy Land is now called Palestine!?When she first wrote the paper in 2010 it was still called the Holy Land. This shows you the papal influence: she uses Vatican terminology; who else in Europe or NATO has recognized the "state" of Palestine as of yet, besides the Vatican??)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_State_of_Palestine

Here is a pretty good reference I had written in 2010, which gives you at least some details about the intense involvement of the Vatican in the planned conquest of Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem:

https://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-secret-or-so-they-hoped-planning.html

Gaub wrote they would need around 50,000 - 80,000 men to invade/conquer Israel,  but would rather not sacrifice their own men. Better (my words) get useful idiots, willing executioners, if you like, to do it for them! 

You have to understand that the relationships are very complicated, but if you look deep into it - and this blog has all the evidence - you will see that Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the CIA, the US, WERE all doing Rome's work; the Vatican is behind it all - although Erdogan is a recently rebellious wild card in their midst, which is why they tried to install their CIA puppet Fethullah Gulen instead with the failed coup two years ago ( read all about Fethullah Gulen's CIA/Vatican connections on this blog), so that Turkey is a problem for them at this time. And Saudi Arabia is changing too, and then there is Trump... so things are a bit murky these days, at least for me. The map has changed, the Deep State, read Vatican, is in trouble, at least on the surface. And of course Russia is a big player these days. You can read all about Putin's alliance with Benedikt in 2007, again on this blog. Not to mention Iran, a whole other story which I will leave out, it's a bit over my head. Where are things headed??

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-27/who-was-secretly-behind-americas-invading-and-occupying-syria

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-30/turkeys-war-christian-missionaries


So now that Trump has withdrawn his troops from Syria, our enemies are salivating. Yes! Israel will be destroyed! The Russians will finish us off, kill us all, nuke us to death!

Isn't this what Rav Berland had warned us about on Chanukah, had told us to all come to Mearat HaMachpelah on Zot Chanukah to pray and say Tehillim for the safety of Israel because we are in great danger? Nobody knew about that withdrawal from Syria on Chanukah, did we? And I came back all the way from Rome on time, beating the odds, to be sure to be at that Tefillah that night! I even cancelled an important trip so I could be there ....

Hashem has His plans; we don't know what they are at the moment, but one thing is for sure: Rome will not get away with murder so easily. Look at the latest news out of Italy, which happened THE DAY AFTER XMAS, in fact, right after pope Francis had again called on Israel to pursue the two-state solution with the murderous PA/ Gaza:

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/256678

https://www.reuters.com/video/2018/12/26/volcano-triggered-earthquake-in-sicily-c?videoId=496186883&feedType=VideoRSS&feedName=LatestVideosIN&videoChannel=101

Here is a map of Italy with location of the current earthquake. And below are a few links that show you the whole volcanic/earthquake map of this volcano and earthquake prone region; in fact two years ago there was another major earthquake not far from Rome. 

The freaky thing is, Naples sits on a huge caldera /supervolcano named Campi Flegrei that is expected to erupt anytime in the near future. That caldera is only a two hour drive from Rome! Not to mention a smaller volcano about 20 miles away from Rome. So it's only a matter of time before Rome gets what it has coming. 

Check the few websites I provided here for more information about the geology of Rome, Naples, Sicily, etc.

Now another interesting thing is, on Xmas day, at sunset ( the time on my camera is EST) , I noticed that clouds were unusually pinkish red, so I took a few pictures, here in Kiryat Arba/Hevron. You probably know from my previous posts that I do carefully look at the sky when things appear unusual; and we know that Planet X causes pink/red clouds, so my impression was: here we go again, Planet X! Long time no see! And just then I received a video from a very knowledgeable YouTube poster, Scott, and his partner Dr. Albers. Even though he likes to talk a lot, Scott makes some very relevant points; in particular he discusses the Etna earthquake of December 26, as well as Planet X's effects these days again.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G_LFJk9XD8&feature=em-lbcastemail




In conclusion, I would like to mention certain  things: 

On the website of our enemy, in the above-mentioned article titled Cardinal Joe...., the author brings up some important events that happened in the last few years with regards to the Vatican. In particular the fact that the pope made a TREATY in 2015 with the murderous PA, recognizing it as a state - yeah, right - ; and refusing to divulge to Israel what kind of deal they made with each other. It can't be anything good for us, that is for sure. After all Rome IS the source of all the antisemitism unleashed on the world since 2009; again the proof to this is to be found on this blog, if you care to spend a long time reading the evidence: it's all there.

A very interesting website discusses the kinds of deals the Church makes with different countries, always to its advantage of course, in particular it discusses the deal made with Israel, but they know how to twist reality to their advantage.

http://www.concordatwatch.eu/showtopic.php?org_id=941&kb_header_id=40731

http://www.concordatwatch.eu/showsite.php?org_id=17651

The fact is, they are an absolutely evil entity. Not by accident is the angel of Esav/Edom Samael, the Satan himself! And they deserve absolutely everything Hashem will decide to unleash on them, if and when He does. And if and when He does, I will not feel one bit sorry for them. However I would hope that all good Jews in Rome, and other good people of Rome - there are good people there after all too - will have enough time to run away from the planetary disaster the prophets promise will befall Edom at the End of Days. We are getting there, aren't we?

Oh, and Rome wants the Temple rebuilt with the pope at its helm. However a prophecy - which one is it again? - states that the Third Temple will fall from the sky; right? 

Then look at this absolutely freaky video, and tell me what you think! Again, from the same Scott and Dr. Albers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSq0ew7t4zI&feature=em-uploademail

Have a good secular new year, everybody. May Hashem send us only blessings. But we need to do our part: Tefillah, Tefillah, Tefillah! And Teshuva too of course.

And here is BOOMERANG PART I:

CHEMTRAILS AND VACCINES, PART IV: There is justice after all! That's just the beginning, I have a feeling.

The post below dated 1/1/2019 follows the same topic:

https://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.com/2019/01/chemtrails-and-vaccines-part-iv-so-this.html

See also the previous three posts sharing the title CHEMTRAILS AND VACCINES ( June 6-9, 2017), as well as other articles sharing the label "Monsanto", and also lots of labels having to do with vaccines, for more information on those topics; you can find the list of labels at the bottom right of the blog.

The following article is from here:

https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/articles/monsanto-facing-lawsuits-over-alleged-roundup-cancer/bayers-biggest-mistake-buying-monsanto-interview-23027.html?nl=447843&ref=newsletter_bca_2018-12-30&utm_source=newsletter_bca_2018-12-30&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Articles

BAYER’S BIGGEST MISTAKE –BUYING MONSANTO?

. By 

SHARES IN BAYER PLUMMETED THIS YEAR AND MANY JOBS AXED, MAINLY DUE TO CONCERNS OVER MONSANTO’S ROUNDUP CANCER LAWSUITS

San Francisco, CAAugust 10, 2018 was a bad day for Bayer and Monsanto executives. That was the day when San Francisco jurors determined that Monsanto’s (and now Bayer’s) RoundUp and Ranger Pro caused cancer in a former school groundskeeper who claimed his terminal cancer had been caused by the glyphosate-based weed-killers.


BAYER AND MONSANTO DEAL



Bayer’s shares have dropped more than a third this year. If financial experts are correct in reasoning that it’s mainly because of the lawsuits involving Roundup, the German company’s future may look bleak. On that day in August, $289 million in damages was awarded to Dewayne Johnson. Although the amount was later reduced to $29 million, more than four thousand individuals with similar Monsanto lawsuits are waiting their day in court. Bayer, in June 2018, won over Monsanto with a takeover offer of about $66 billion.

The $128 a share deal, up from Bayer's previous offer of $127.50 a share, is the biggest of the year so far and the largest cash bid on record, reported Scientific American. If all went according to plan, Bayer’s deal would create a company with more than a quarter of the combined world market for seeds and pesticides in the fast-consolidating farm supplies industry – a deal opposed by many, from environmentalists to healthcare professionals to farmers. (Farmers are mainly worried about Bayer’s power and their advantage in digital farming data, which would tell them how and when to till, sow, spray, fertilize and pick crops based on algorithms.)

Also opposed to the deal was Marjin Dekkers, a senior executive who ran Bayer in 2010. According to the Wall Street Journal, , Dekkers viewed the plan to acquire Monsanto as “fraught with risks, from the all-cash financing and the challenge of integrating two companies with very different cultures, to the reputational challenges springing from Monsanto’s controversial image.”

BAYER FACING MORE MONSANTO ROUNDUP LITIGATION



Having put aside nearly $250 million for all litigation, Bayer was ill-prepared for Monsanto Glyphosate Lawsuits-- Dewayne Johnson’s award alone exceeded that amount. The giant chemical company is now looking at how to deal with thousands of people with claims similar to Johnson’s Roundup-cancer lawsuit, including plaintiff Richard Giglio.

EMANUEL RICHARD GIGLIO V. MONSANTO



Filed in the California Southern District Court in October 2015, Giglio alleges that exposure to Roundup caused him to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Case No.: 15cv2279), but he might succumb to cancer before his trial. In April of 2018 Giglio’s oncologist gave him less than six months to live. Giglio, age 66, owned a landscaping company that installed synthetic turf. He used a gallon of Roundup every two months for about five years to remove grass from his customers’ property, but stopped using the toxic herbicide in 2015 when he was diagnosed with the same cancer as Dewayne Johnson.

Although glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was classified as a probable cause of human cancer in 2015 by the World Health Organization, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and several regulatory agencies in Europe have found it to be a safe product.

What else do you expect from the UN and its many tentacles?? Can you quote one good thing about that despicable organization?

UNRWA tweets in support of terrorist, then deletes it

UN agency for “Palestinian refugees” glorifies PFLP terrorist, deletes tweet and blames "unauthorized access" to its Twitter account.

Ben Ariel,

UNRWA, the UN agency for “Palestinian refugees”, on Monday posted a tweet glorifying a Palestinian Arab terrorist, then deleted the tweet, blaming what it alleged was "brief, unauthorized access" to its Twitter account.
The controversial tweet was documented by the Geneva-based watchdog UN Watch.
UNRWA's tweet had glorified Ghassan Kanafani as a "famed" Palestinian writer, when in fact he was spokesman and right-hand man to the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist group, when it orchestrated the Lod Airport Massacre in 1972, in which 26 were killed and 80 injured.
UNRWA’s tweet echoed complaints by Arab Israelis after a recent memorial to the terrorist was ordered removed in the Israeli city of Acre.
“There has been a brief, unauthorized access to UNRWA’s twitter account,” the agency later tweeted. "Measures are in place to prevent a reoccurrence. UNRWA is in the process of changing the password for its twitter account.”
Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, posted a screenshot of the deleted UNRWA tweet.
“UNRWA backs Ghassan Kanafani, spokesman of PFLP terror group when it perpetrated 1972 Lod Airport Massacre, killing 26—17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, a Canadian citizen and 8 Israelis—and injuring 80. Why do EU, UK, Germany & Canada fund UNRWA?” he wrote.

Why do EU, UK, Germany & Canada fund UNRWA? https://twitter.com/UNRWA/status/1077140765225222144 

“I hope that UNRWA’s removal of its shameful tweet indicates its recognition that it is inappropriate for a supposed UN humanitarian agency to be pronouncing itself on political controversies, let alone celebrating a terrorist involved in mass murder,” Neuer said in a statement.
“UNRWA receives massive financial and political support from Britain, Germany, Sweden, the EU and Canada, and they each bear responsibility; it’s time for those governments to demand basic accountability,” he added.
“We remind UNRWA that support for terrorism constitutes a gross violation of the UN Charter as well as UNRWA’s own internal policies concerning neutrality and impartiality, including with respect to public pronouncements.”
“I’m concerned that today's tweet reflects systemic radicalism within UNRWA that adversely reflects on the agency's integrity, independence and impartiality.”
“As we have documented in numerous reports, UNRWA has a pattern and practice of employing teachers who glorify Jihadist antisemitism and anti-Israel terrorism, amounting to a gross violation of its duty of neutrality. UNRWA must stop engaging in political, racial, religious or ideological controversies,” concluded Neuer.
Created in 1949, UNRWA supplies aid to more than three million of the five million people who are registered as “Palestinian refugees” in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and territories assigned to the Palestinian Authority.
However, it is also notorious for its anti-Israel activities. During the 2014 counterterrorism Operation Protective Edge, Hamas rockets were discovered inside a school building run by UNRWA.
Likewise, a booby-trapped UNRWA clinic was detonated, killing three IDF soldiers. Aside from the massive amounts of explosives hidden in the walls of the clinic, it was revealed that it stood on top of dozens of terror tunnels, showing how UNRWA is closely embedded with Hamas.
In a more recent incident, the director of UNRWA operations in Gaza expressed his supportfor the anti-Israel marches along the Israel-Gaza border and pledged that the organization’s medical centers will provide care for “Palestinian refugees” who might sustain injuries during them.
The US announced several months ago that it would be cutting its funding to the controversial UN agency. However, since that time UNRWA has received pledges of $100 million in additional funding from countries including Qatar, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, India and France as a means of making up for the aid that was cut by Washington.
Just last week, the European Union announced it would commit a further 20 million euros ($23 million) to the agency.

Here is an extraordinary testimony by a trustworthy "truther" spilling the beans - I had already spilled a lot of those beans on this blog, but he goes much further. Kudos!



Normally I would not post SGT material- an antisemitic blog, not to mention Yoschke being recalled once by the interviewer towards the end of this video. However the interviewee here doesn't appear to fit that description, he is a truth seeker, a very intelligent, inquisitive and honest attorney, and I can relate to the content of his interview. Impressive and very informative! Still, he subscribes to the "Khazarian" fake Jews theory, - that is at least my understanding after reading one of his articles -, and he bashes the Talmud, and that certainly gives me pause.... We shall see. At any rate, what he exposes here is certainly very worthwhile. Go to his website, and judge for yourself! Some of his stuff is great, and some makes me want to run.

ADDENDUM, January 1st, 2019


I probably should have called this post:

"Campi Flegrei, introduction...", or something to that effect; but on December 24th, the day I posted this video, I had no idea what effect this interview would have on my further articles! However my contact with this author proved seminal to the subsequent post:


So these two posts are definitely connected. And there are more to come, B"H: after all we are talking current events, and those are developing as we speak.

Let's hope 2019 is at least livable. Of course happy and fulfilling, and Mashiach coming, would be a million times better.... we shall see, and we will daven in the meantime: what else is there to do? And of course let's do our Hishtadlut, do our best, our part in Avodat Hashem, in whichever way it comes to each of us, to help Mashiach come in the best way possible. Amen.

Happy Chanukah! When this rabbi speaks, I listen - he's got a bigger head on his shoulders than all his detractors combined - confabulations about him notwithstanding.

A friend sent me this: I feel compelled to share it with all of you because it does have the ring of truth, coming from a source of deep Torah knowledge and understanding. I know, the Rav speaks with great flourish, but try to listen to his underlying message, which is unmistakable: only mass prayer to Hashem at the Kivrei Avot can save us now. I believe him. Not to mention that the whole world is also in complete Tohu Vavohu in case you haven't noticed, equally in weather, political, and financial terms.

Writing this from Rome where I am stuck for Shabbat Chanukah despite my plans, sitting on a super volcano ready to erupt any time now - not soon enough: I hope it takes the Vatican where it belongs already!

Shavuah Tov and Happy Zot Chanukah; and Chodesh Tevet Tov!



This Sunday night, Zot Chanuka, Rav Eliezer Berland has called for a huge prayer gathering in Hevron, the city of the Patriarchs. The Rav has put out a number of urgent messages in recent days, encouraging people to attend the event, and underlining the importance of participating – because the situation is looking extremely grave.
Here is the full translation of the Rav’s most recent message:
(If you can help to defray some of the expenses of the tens of buses that are being chartered to and from Hevron for Sunday night, please click HERE to donate.)
“The whole of Am Yisrael is currently facing a terrible, threatening situation. Every part of Israel is now under threat of being deluged with rockets. After we saw 400 rockets falling on Ashkelon and the surrounding cities, including Beer Sheva, Netivot, Ofakim and Sderot, now they are preparing thousands and thousands of rockets, which will reach to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
“And we have no possibility of stopping this from happening, because the whole world is against us. They can launch 10,000 missiles, and if we fire back even just one, they will say that we are the aggressors, and they are the victims.
“They will say that we began [hostilities], and that they are simply defending themselves.
“We have no [military] might, we only have the power of tehillim (psalms). All of the State of Israel’s efforts to stop the missiles of Hezbollah and Hamas ended in failure. Every day, we are threatened with thousands of new rockets. They can reach any target precisely…
“Am Israel is in the greatest danger, mamash, and our only possibility of coming through this lies in our mouths: “The voice is the voice of Yaakov, and the hands are the hands of Esav.” (Bereishit, 27:22).
“We are now, mamash, at the final moments that we can stay in Eretz Yisrael, in the State of Israel, because the goal of the Arabs is to destroy everyone here. They don’t care if its dati’im (observant Jews), chilonim (secular Jews), Chareidim, Neturei Karta - they aren’t interested.
“They want to annihilate every single Jew, until the very last one of us – regardless of whether he’s secular, or religious, or Mizrachi (Sephardi traditional), or kipat srugah (National Religious).
It’s written: “And I will divide them, into the light and into the dark” (Bereishit 1:4).
They are not going to distinguish between the ‘light’ and the ‘darkness’. Right now, we are all in the gravest danger, mamash.
So, we need to really urge people to attend this Prayer Gathering, so that almost 50,000 thousand people will come.
“And everyone should read the whole of the Book of Tehillim, which will [form] the shoes for the Shechina, the shoes of Yosef [HaTzaddik], that the brothers quarreled about. Because, never before have we heard of a brother selling his brother for a pair of shoes. The ikker (main point) is that a brother shouldn’t sell out his own brother. (The argument was really over whether they should finish the whole book of Tehillim the whole week, which is the ‘shoes of the Shechinah’.)
“This was the real argument between Yosef and his brothers…and so, every single person is obliged to complete the book of Tehillim at the Prayer Gathering, and to make good use of this opportunity for 50,000 people to say tehillim together.
“This will (be considered in Heaven) as though a billion people are saying tehillim (psalms), and this will certainly stop the tillim (rockets).
“Only tehillim can stop the tillim – not the IDF, not weapons, not tanks, not Patriot missiles, no Iron Dome – none of these things can stop the missiles. Only the tehillim that we will say at this Prayer Gathering can stop the missiles.
“And in the merit of this, everyone will have a long life, like Yitzchak, in the merit of participating in this Prayer Gathering.
“There is also an obligation to donate to help defray the expenses [of hiring the buses], 1,500 shekels, because hundreds of buses will be needed. And the Rav will of course be coming, without doubt.
“The whole of Am Yisrael is invited to come to the Prayer Gathering, and to finish the book of Tehillim, and this will erase Hamas from the face of the earth.”


PS: December 10th: 

I managed to attend, arriving just on time after my return from "the other side" ( Arameic translation: the Sitra Achra - we know what that is! ) literally, i.e. Rome. It was an awesome event! I don't believe close to 50,000 attended, but still it was a very large and significant crowd easily in the thousands. After 100 or so Tehillim were recited by a Chazan, the Rav arrived, lit the Chanukah Menorah, and then the singing and dancing began: wow, what joy, what energy, what enthusiasm, what uplifting and extraordinary music: it felt just like Meron on Lag Baomer! I was delighted that they even managed to sing Bar Yochai songs; I absolutely loved the Atzeret, and so did everybody present. After that the Rav led a Tikkun Klali and some prayers, and then people started home - it was about 4:00 AM. To say I was happy I went is an understatement, although I have to make it clear I am not one of those (very special) women walking around looking like nuns, and probably never will be. Still, I appreciated the event very much. Specially, the fact that it was in Hevron made it so much more powerful; there is no way to deny it: Hevron has an energy all its own which makes things deep, intense, joyful and amazing. So, get ready for next Chayei Sarah, or, if you are in a hurry, Pessach!.... Hopefully with the Rav too, B"H; he magnifies the power of Hevron multifold, just watch the video below and I am sure you will agree with me: what a great union, a Yichud mamash, a Chibbur as in "Hevron"!


DS


See here the video of the event starting from the lighting of the Chanukah Menorah by the Rav: didn't he actually bring Meron and the light of Kabbalah to Hevron? Amazing.





UPDATE,  December 11th: :

Do you trust Rabbi Glazerson's work with Torah codes? Is he a respected Talmid Chacham? Do you mock his discoveries or don't you? If not, then look at what I just stumbled upon, then make up your own mind: unbelievable! I wonder what the relationship is between the two Rabbanim.

You just never know: the Hand of God leads one from minute to minute. I was looking around, ready for a nice, interesting YouTube program.... and found this, and the one above... can we understand Hashem's ways???


DS








UPDATE December 24, 2018, midnight Israel time, going on December 25th - interesting timing - just as the goyim are lighting their own lights and candles to worship their idol!


I had an interesting insight, looking at my Hevron calendar coming from the Jewish community of Hevron;  they had the intuition to add this year, as a passuk at the bottom of the page of the month of Tevet, the following Zohar ( Zohar Chadash):

"Why is Hevron called Kiryat Arba ( the City of the Four)? That name is based on the FOUR ELEMENTS: Fire, Air, Water and Earth /Dust"

Well, to think of it ( I should know, I live here!), at this season, in the depth of winter, in Kiryat Arba-Hevron, we have plenty of air ( strong winds), plenty of water ( plentiful rains, specially this year), and plenty of dust ( we constantly have to battle dust here, coming from the desert). What we don't have is FIRE. 

Of course Chanukah brought the element of fire with its lighting of the Menorah. 

But what Rav Berland did, in effect, by lighting the Menorah here on Zot Chanukah, is bring his own fire - he has plenty of fire! - , the light of the Zohar, the fire of Meron, and the greatest oil lighting/fire of Chanukah to the Mearah. That was the element missing, and Rav Berland COMPLETED the four elements with his august presence. That was truly a kabbalistic Yichud in my understanding. He brought the missing heat, the missing light, the exaltation - just listen to the music and look at the lights!!!! to cold, wet, stormy Hevron. In effect he fulfilled the essence of Kiryat Arba-Hevron, the City of the Four.  It is a principle that whatever happens in Yerushalayim has to first happen in Hevron. So who knows, maybe by "completing" Hevron he made it possible for Yerushalayim in turn to reach completion?

.... And just today we heard that we will have new elections. Will Mashiach be the next ruler of Israel??

Thank you, Rav Berland!
