Beshalach – February 2025

February is here and Tu B’shvat is just around the corner. The almond trees are blossoming early this year since we never really had a winter. I remember years we would drive down to Petach Tikva, just one hour west, and people would stand in their tracks staring at our car covered in snow. The virginal white quickly melted as the temperatures- as close as one hour away can mind boggle- are way higher on the coast. Wide eyed and childlike people are simpletons in Israel. Each town, each tribal portion- specific in what it knows- which is usually local. I’ll be quite frank and open with you- thank you Hashem for enabling a wider perspective for all Israelis about the other tribes- my tribe- that live over the hills and “far away”. Up until recently nobody knew a thing about the topography geography or history of the heartland of the Land of Israel. I would have to fly to Oklahoma and Texas to have a listening ear. Literally.

Now the wind blows, it is raining thankfully- this has been the driest winter ever recorded. No snow on our car but when people in Petach Tikva ask me where I am from and I say Itamar, they say Thank You! “You are our armored vest!” Finally- in this appointed time after much brain washing- yes- people were taught through our media that I, that WE were the obstacle to peace- not our enemies. They alienated the nation from their very heart. Day after day for years upon years the one or two TV channels fed this nation the lie of Oslo- aligning to world- wide media. Why was the recipe for peace always throwing Jews out of Judea? Like the Pavlov syndrome- mention the heartland of Israel and immediately people saw a mirage without ME here. What I saw was a burnt down Tomb of Yosef, swastikas on the Tomb of Itamar and Elazar, slaughtered friends and neighbors- hundreds of them.

Then something opened up. People began to watch for truth. Like the teaching of Rabbi Nachman on clarity of faith. If you are a witness to an open miracle but do not have clarity in faith- you will not experience it. “Seeing is believing” is not enough- watch for it through faith. Hold the heavenly yoke of heaven in your heart. This refreshes and enables new energy that defies the laws of nature to spring forth. This means that despite the incredibly difficult challenges that prevented us from KNOWING- Hashem enabled technology now to reach you with the truth. And now I must thank Arutz 14 for that! We are getting REAL news now. Someone out there (Yotam Zimri) is saying- “The Land of Israel- Judea-Samaria is our precious legacy. We will never forfeit it. Someone is calling to strengthen us. Thank you!

Suddenly and sometimes through much travail, as October 7 had everyone realizing just what happens when you live on the rim of hell, no amount of peace love and good music will help. Sometimes you need to be knocked over the head to understand how to view.

I remember the hot summer of 2005 when we took a bus to Gush Katif and stand against the bulldozers of our own government. All along the brim that led to Gaza there were signs of doves and peace. On the brink of disaster- we knew. We knew. Ripping out Jews from their graves in Gush Katif, destroying homes, thriving businesses, oasis’ of paradise and synagogues on that sultry heated day has caused this tsunami. We have been shamed, lacerated and castrated. ENOUGH!

What haven’t we tried.

This generation will not tolerate disgrace.

Our mouths open now- finally as we enter the stage of Malchut in this journey HOME. As on the sea of the Yam Suf in this portion of Beshalach-when the Egyptians began chasing Am Yisrael, we were engulfed between two cliffs and the sea before us -some said- “Jump into the sea” Some said “Turn back, submit” , others that screamed to Hashem- paralyzed. The last group consisted of those who perceived with clarity of faith that said “We are an army of soldiers now- Hashem is with us!”  On the verge of losing on October 7 and SINCE then- all divisions of the IDF that came and fired out the hellholes of the Nazis. Our boys- the sons of the mothers of Israel- who brought this monster down to its knees. How many have fallen, how many have been maimed? And they would do it again. For we are the army of Hashem. Yes, He does it for us USING OUR DEEDS! If it weren’t for the embargos placed upon Israel coupled with the plethora of humanitarian aid going straight to Hamas, we would have had all of our hostages back by now and had a complete victory.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! THANK YOU HASHEM WHO ENABLED THIS! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS WHO BELIEVE IN US OUT HERE AND SUPPORT!

ISRAEL MUST CONTINUE TO BE A LIGHT A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS, REVEAL TRUTH, RESTORE HONOR, CLARITY, SECURITY, TRUTH, FAITH IN G-D and HOPE.

Shabbat Shalom and blessings to all of our dear friends xoxoxox, Leah
