On to Israel1 – Dovid Eidensohn

On to Israel is the great effort of many Jews to go to Israel. One reason is that those of us who live in America are beginning to realize that America is crumbling spiritually, especially in New York State which has established a GET law that permits all women to force a GET from their husband, something which produces mamzerim when this woman with no kosher GET remarries and has a child. Another law passed in January of this year is that a husband or boyfriend who poisons the baby in a woman and kills it, has not committed a crime, and the police can do nothing. These laws and worse are spreading in other states in America, even in New Jersey where Lakewood Yeshiva is located. But in America, very few people protest about the GET laws and other problems.

Onto Israel got a major push in 1948 when the United Nations following a vote from the world community, gave a small section of Israel to the Jews and the rest to the Arabs. The Arabs then demanded that all Arabs leave that section of Israel given to the Jews, because the Arabs were determined to kill out the Jews. David Ben-Gurion, then the Premier of Israel, allowed the Yeshiva students not to join the army, because although he was not religious, and probably didn't keep Shabbos or maybe even kashruse, he did recognize that for Jews to survive among the huge armies of Arabs, supported by the British army, there was no hope for Jews in Israel, unless one believed clearly in HaShem. His idea was supported by General Moshe Dayan who replied to those who wanted to draft Yeshiva students, "They do their share." Thus two people who were not religious were forced to accept that their only hope was trusting HaShem. And the battles begun in 1948 showed the world that the Jews were a mighty force that won its battles.

When Arab countries eventually wanted to solve the Jewish problem by making Atomic weapons to be exploded in Tel Aviv and elsewhere in Israel, the faith in HaShem by non-Orthodox Jews was aroused and Menachem Begin sent six jets heavily loaded with powerful bombs to destroy the places building Atom bombs to destroy Israel. The planes all returned with no problems their mission completed. Then a powerful general began assembling Atomic bombs and he was constantly surrounded by protection and weapons that could take down a jet. Now a new tactic was released by the Israel military. It was a secret command of people who knew how to kill people. They knew that in general this general was surrounded by his troops that protected him and that there were weapons to destroy jet planes, but the command of killers succeeded in discovering that this General once a year went near a sea and had company over on his balcony. They sailed a sailboat some distance from the house and dived into the water with their weapons. They took careful pictures at night of the balcony and the people with the general. At the proper time, they both fired. One bullet went into the general's heart, and the other into his neck. The two returned safely to Israel. Yes, this sounds like a miracle, but HaShem in Israel is busy with miracles.

Recently poverty in Israel has been relieved when Premier Netanyohu hired an American company to dig oil out of the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. When it created a gush of good oil near Tel Aviv Israelites realized that times were changing in their favor. This was followed by the Chinese purchasing the largest dairy company in Israel for a billion dollars. Now many companies around the world are pouring money into Israel, turning Israel into a modern place where people can live with thriving businesses and flows of money.

Moshiach everyone knows is on his way. Let us pray for his speedy arrival, and meanwhile pray that our faith in HaShem and trust in His kindness will sustain us despite any difficulty, that we all, gentiles included, will welcome Moshiach and pray to HaShem.

Shalom,
