Please attend this protest Rally.  Each of us were at Sinai and we don't need a Rabbi to tell us that we are facing an existential threat.  Let us make a unified public statement in front of the United Nations!

Rabbi's Please make this announcement in Shul when you give your Shabbos Teshuva Drasha and encourage your congregants to come! It is not enough to just gather in our shuls. We must gather in front of the world, in front of the UN,  and make a Statement regarding OUR Promised Land, the Land Promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to their descendants as an everlasting inheritance.  We must go public to create a Kiddush Hashem  in place of this public Chillul Hashem!

The Palestinians have no rights to Our Land nor does the UN have the authority to grant them such rights. It is an everlasting Covenant between the G-d of Jacob and the Nation of Israel!

Send buses if you can from Yeshivot. 

ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 AT 12 NOON, THERE WILL BE A RALLY IN OPPOSITION TO THE DISASTROUS AGREEMENT WITH IRAN AT THE UNITED STATES MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS, EAST 45TH STREET BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AVENUES IN MANHATTAN.

From AFSI: 

"State of Palestine" to raise flag at United Nations Wednesday, September 30

 

 

On September 10 of this year, the United Nations General Assembly voted to approve a "Palestinian" Arab request to raise the flag of "Palestine" at the U.N. 119 voted in favor, 8 voted against and 45 abstained.

Jerusalem Post:

Palestinian request to fly flag at UN passes General Assembly vote by landslide majority

.

United Nations website:

State of Palestine Flag to Fly at United Nations Headquarters

Now, we read that the flag raising will most likely take place on Wednesday, September 30.

Jerusalem Post:

Palestinians invite hundreds of leaders to flag raising ceremony at UN in New York

The Palestinian Authority invited hundreds of world leaders to celebrate the raising of its flag for the first time at the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 30.

 

"It will be a glorious day, a proud day for us. We expect hundreds of leaders to be with [PA] President [Mahmoud] Abbas to celebrate that moment," PLO Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour told reporters in New York on Tuesday.

For years the Palestinian Arabs have hoodwinked a world that wanted to be hoodwinked, into giving them billions of dollars in aid money, of which a huge amount was secreted away, lining the the pockets of cronies such as Yassir Arafat, his wife Suha, the current "President" Mahmoud Abbas, and plenty of other Arab terrorists and terrorist enablers.

It is of course no surprise that the U.N. vote passed by such a lopsided margin, given the automatic majority commanded by the Arab and Muslim countries, along with the numerous sycophantic and anti-Semitic countries in Europe and elsewhere. As ex-Israeli U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor stated, "The Assembly would vote to declare the Earth is flat if the Palestinians proposed it.", and "No vote can turn an empty symbolic gesture into a state."

As this event may be seen as a meaningless photo-op, it is in reality the continuation of "death by a thousand cuts". The steady drip-drip of the world's demands that Israel commit suicide by enabling a terrorist state to be carved out of its territory continue nonstop. Israel of course must remain strong against attempts to harm it, both militarily and politically. And we Israel supporters living outside of Israel must continue our battle to enable Israel to defend herself.

What Does The Lubavitcher Rebbe Say?

Videos, Sichos and Letters on Eretz Yisrael

We Must Tell The Truth: It is forbidden to tell them (non Jews) lies.   Since Abraham's Covenant, G-d Forbids Us To Give Away The Land

Heaven forbid that Jews should reject parts of the Land of Israel which were given to them by G-d as a gift, through unsolicited kindness and open miracles, (and not through military prowess, to which some erroneously attribute Israel's astounding victories), by giving them to non-Jews!

Due to the fact that we are still in exile, there are parts of the Land that have not yet been returned to us. Regarding such portions, the Torah enjoins us not to incite those who presently occupy them. This condition, however, does not apply at all to those portions of the land that G-d has already returned to us, (through great miracles, moreover.)

There are those who argue that giving these portions back to the non-Jews will bring peace. The response to this is that behavior which runs contrary to the Torah (i.e., rejecting G-d's gift) cannot possibly have positive results, and certainly cannot bring peace. Quite the contrary: only behavior that accords with Torah will bring peace. The Torah's instruction in this area is that we must explain -- albeit in a pleasant manner -- that no one can change the fact that G-d gave us these territories as a gift.

Peace can only be achieved by behaving in accordance with the Torah's instructions, and the Torah instructs us to tell the truth. 

When speaking with non-Jews too, it is forbidden to tell them lies. It is forbidden to speak to them "diplomatically". They must be told the truth -- that since at the Covenant Between the Parts, G-d gave the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel as an eternal inheritance, we may not be unappreciative by refusing to accept His gift.

Moreover, they must be told that we are forbidden to even entertain such a notion. Heaven forbid, that after G-d has taken the Land from the gentiles and returned it to us, someone should come along and desire to give it back to them.

Never before has something like this happened to the Jewish People!  Certainly, in the end, we will witness the fulfillment of the verse, 'Plan a conspiracy and it shall be annulled, speak your piece and it shall not stand, for G-d is with us!' For as King Solomon said, 'Many are the schemes in the heart of Man, but only the counsel of G-d will prevail'

(From the Rebbe's public address, 10 Teves, 5742 - 1982)

Following his address before the United Nations General Assembly Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke before a meeting of American Jewish leadership in an event cosponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Consulate General of Israel in New York. Netanyahu recounts how the Rebbe tells Netanyahu   "You will go into a house of lies.  That is how he called a particular institution.    Remember that in a hall of perfect darkness, totally dark,  if you light one small candle,  it's light will be seen from afar Ohr Yekorot, precious light, will be seen by everyone,  Your Shelichus, your mission, is to light a candle for truth and for the Jewish People."

These are points of the Lubavitch Rebbe, zt"l  http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/search?q=Lubavitcher+Rebbe+videos

Atem Nitzavim...Each one of us according to our ability has the obligation to act....

When Mordechai Hayehudi was faced with existential threat he acted.  

Now is not the time to be humble and to say let us ask the Rabbanim.  When one is uncertain about the threat one must act and not ask.

SPEED IS OF THE ESSENCE! http://www.dinonline.org/2012/10/12/pikuach-nefesh-on-shabbos/

When it comes to saving a life, one must act with the greatest alacrity and should not hesitate. The Gemara (Yerushalmi Yuma 8:5) puts it very pithily: "The one who acts with alacrity is to be praised; the one who is asked (concerning whether to desecrate Shabbos) is disgraceful; and the one who asks is a murderer."

Uncertainty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikuach_nefesh

If it cannot be ascertained whether or not a situation is life-threatening, the situation must be considered life-threatening until proven otherwise, thereby allowing action to be taken.

It is of prime importance that if one believes a life may be in danger, and seconds may count, that persons involved not delay helping the victim out of fear of violating halakha, or in order to determine if such a violation is permissible according to halakha.

If one takes action in violation of halakha to save a life when s/he believes the situation is life-threatening, but later learns that there was no threat to a human life, s/he has not sinned, and must not feel guilty over having made such a mistake.

Let us all join together following the Lubavitcher Rebbe's heartfelt plea to "Scream about the horrible situation - without embarrassment and not from behind a curtain. We must bang our fist on the table, if necessary, because this issue affects the very lives of millions of Jews!" (not to mention non Jews RT)

Each of you, the Askanim have the  media tools to act in your capacity different than the Rabbanim.  Therefore don't waste any time!  However the Rabbanim are by no way exempt.  The Opposite!

The current situation in Israel is such that the duty to protest falls squarely on the shoulders of the Rabbis. This obligation falls upon all Rabbis who arbitrate practical matters of Jewish law, and especially those Rabbis who have at one time expressed an opinion on this issue, no matter where they are — whether in Israel or in the Diaspora.

The ruling must be explicit and definitive, being the result of exhaustive consultation with present military authorities who have actual firsthand knowledge about these issues, and who express their opinions through purely security-oriented considerations, and not political ones.

In order to save the Rabbis the trouble of researching the issues which are required for a ruling, the Rebbe informs us that he has already investigated the matter, and the conclusions are:

Those involved in military affairs say that surrendering any portion of the West Bank and Gaza, places untold numbers of Jews in danger, G-d forbid.

The past is well known (e.g., Golda Meir not listening to the Israeli Military Intelligence prior to Yom Kippur War).

A ruling must be issued quickly, and a Rabbi must not wait until he is asked about the matter. Rather, he must see to it that the law is publicized everywhere — to the extent that "there will not be a single individual who has not heard of this ruling." This is because regarding these matters, "he who asks (rather than acts) is a spiller of blood, and the one who waits to be asked is contemptible" for not having publicized his opinion.[35]

Similarly, one should publicize the decision of the "Great Assembly" of 1937 [36] which states that "it is forbidden to cede to a non-Jew, even a tiny strip of the Land of Israel." This should be publicised until the entire Jewish people are aware of this ruling.

Every Jew, regardless of where he lives, is connected with every other Jews in the rest of the world. Therefore, according to Jewish law, he must protest any action taken by another Jew which is not in accordance with Jewish Law. Protest is required even if the forbidden action took place a great distance from him — because he is still obligated by the command, "Thou shalt not stand idly by thy brother's blood."

At times the situation is such that there is nothing left to do but to protest. This is a precise indication that our task in this situation is to protest.

The claim that protest will not affect the situation does not absolve any of the Rabbis, no matter where they are, from their obligation to publicize a clear ruling because:

Who knows where we would be if no one were to speak up.

Regarding the mitzvah to admonish one's fellow man, the Talmud says, "even one hundred times," meaning, if one unsuccessfully gave rebuke ninety-nine times, one is bound by Jewish law to engage in rebuke a hundredth time, for it could well be that the hundredth time will be decisive.

The Rabbi must do his job and protest without fear, and without considering the reaction which may follow his ruling (such as being ignored); especially because this is an ongoing matter, which concerns saving Jewish lives.

The obligation not to stand idly by while your brother's blood is being spilled, applies in every situation, even when one is uncertain that his protest will have any effect. Even if the chance that protest will assist is only one thousandth of a chance, or a fraction of that, one is obligated to protest, because this is the law in the Code of Jewish Law.

Even if the majority remain silent, and those protesting are in the minority, nevertheless, the minority is taken into consideration.

The Rabbis who remain silent cause the greatest damage. This is analogous to the Talmudic law concerning seventy Rabbinic judges who rule for or against a certain side, with one judge "abstaining." In such a case, Jewish Law requires the entire trial to be rendered null and void.

The Rebbe's opinion is that were there to be a sustained protest, carried out with the greatest intensity — as the present situation clearly demands — it would eventually succeed, in the near future.
