Zera Shimshon Parshat Devarim

 

The Yenuka made up his very own Torah, in His Torah Hashem does not Forgive even if someone did Teshuva

 

1. Direct statements that Hashem forgives 

Isaiah 55:7

“Let the wicked abandon his way… and let him return to Hashem, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” This is one of the clearest verses in all of Tanach: return → mercy → forgiveness.

Ezekiel 18:21–22

“If the wicked person turns from all his sins… he shall surely live… none of the transgressions he committed shall be remembered.” Teshuvah erases the past. Hashem does not remember the sins once one repents.

Ezekiel 33:11

“I do not desire the death of the wicked, but that he turn from his way and live.” Hashem’s will is not punishment, but repentance and life.

Joel 2:12–13

“Return to Me with all your heart… for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness.” Teshuvah is met with grace, mercy, and kindness.

⭐ 2. Hashem accepts repentance even after sin

Jonah 3:10

The people of Nineveh repent, and:

“God saw their deeds… and God relented from the evil He had spoken.” A national example of teshuvah → forgiveness.

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people… humble themselves, pray, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear… forgive their sin, and heal their land.” A covenantal promise: repentance brings forgiveness and restoration.

Jeremiah 3:22

“Return, O wayward children; I will heal your backsliding.” Hashem actively heals the sinner who returns.

⭐ 3. Hashem forgives even severe sins

Psalm 32:5

“I said: I will confess my transgressions to Hashem — and You forgave the guilt of my sin.” David describes personal teshuvah and immediate forgiveness.

Psalm 51 (after the sin with Bat‑Sheva)

David’s entire prayer is about repentance, and Hashem accepts it. Key line:

“A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

Micah 7:18–19

“Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity… He will again have compassion… He will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” A poetic, powerful declaration of Hashem’s complete forgiveness.

⭐ 4. Hashem’s nature is to forgive

Exodus 34:6–7 — The 13 Attributes of Mercy

“Hashem… compassionate and gracious… forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin.” This is the foundational Torah statement that Hashem’s essence includes forgiveness.

Nehemiah 9:17

“But You are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful.” A historical reflection on Hashem’s constant forgiveness.

⭐ 5. Hashem accepts repentance even after punishment

Hosea 14:2–5

“Return, O Israel… Take words with you and return… I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely.” Teshuvah leads to healing and renewed love.

Modi'in Illit Chardeim Surrounded car of the Rosh Yeshiva R' Eliyahu Feivelson Screamed "Rotzeach " "Rasha Me"rusha" and Beat Him!

 

This incident of Bnei-Teirah beating up other Bnei-Teirah is no surprise to DIN readers, we have already talked about Charedim hating each other's guts, especially if one of them finally sees the light and starts expressing it. Those Charedie leaders who are appalled at the behavior of these bochrim have only to blame but themselves, the bochrim knew the views of Rav Hagoen Feivelson shlita from their RY, and the bochrim heard the hate from their RYs very own mouths! Charedie Gedoilim that encouraged riots and protests against the medina didn't realize that this will come back bite them!

 Dozens of rioters surrounded the car of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petachei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, cursed him with shouts of "murderer of Neshamois" and beat him. In the absence of a police presence, local residents were forced to extract the rabbi from the menacing crowd

עמודיעין עילית: עשרות פורעים הקיפו את רכבו של ראש ישיבת 'פתחי עולם' הגאון רבי אליהו פייבלזון, גידפו אותו בצעקות "רוצח נשמות" והכו אותו. בהיעדר נוכחות משטרתית, תושבים מקומיים נאלצו לחלץ את הרב בשיניים מתוך ההמון

A routine night on Avnei Nezer Street in Modi'in Illit turned into an arena of severe violence last night (Tuesday), when the shiur of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petchei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, was interrupted with unprecedented violence. The incident, which began as a peaceful protest, developed within minutes into a mass riot that included incitement and physical violence.

According to testimonies, dozens of young bochrim, apparently from yeshiva centers, gathered around the house where Rabbi Feivelsohn was staying. At the end of the shiur, when the rabbi tried to get out of his car, about 20 of the rioters pounced on him and surrounded the car.

The bochrim started shouting insults, blocked the lane and even damaged the car. The incident deteriorated rapidly when some of the bochrim turned to actual physical violence - Rabbi Feivelson was pushed and beaten on the streets of the city.

Amazingly, while the commotion was at its peak, the police were late arriving at the scene. OSome of the residents of the street, who watched the horror unfold in front of their eyes, decided to take the initiative – they forcibly evacuated the rioting bochrim from the road and helped the vehicle to escape the dangerous siege.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that Rabbi Feivelson has encountered violence from Yeshiva Bochrim . The Rosh Yeshiva, known for its unique positions on issues of faith and outlook, and for its in-depth interpretation of the Rambam's words, has been at the center of public controversy in recent years.

In the past, he had already been subjected to severe threats and harassment, including real threats to his life.

As of now, there has not been an official response from the police or the Modi'in Illit municipality regarding the incident. Rabbi Feivelson did not provide an official response, but people close to him said that he continues his educational activities with dedication despite the threats.

People disgusted with Vance's "Blaming the Jews" for Iran war!

 

⭕️I cannot overstate the sheer disgust I feel for Vance right now. He desperately wants to deflect from the disastrous MOUs that is entirely his responsibility, so what does he do? He screams, “Blame the Jews!” He’s incapable of facing the reality that Iran broke the deal, not… https://t.co/Dpo1HN2NQS

Poll: Smotrich siphoning votes from Shas

 

Living in a Chareidie neighborhood in Beit Shemesh, I saw this coming; practically all the people I talk to would never again vote for Shas or Degel, in the last election Beit Shemesh overwhelmingly voted for Ben Gvir. Reasonable frum serious Jews are fed up with Charedie clueless disconnected Teirah leadership! They refuse to live under Taliban supervision. 

A Channel 13 News poll published on Wednesday evening indicates that if elections were held today, Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, would win 22 seats, remaining the largest party in the Knesset.

The "Yashar!" party led by Gadi Eisenkot receives 21 seats - a two-seat drop compared to the previous poll. Naftali Bennett’s "Together" party secures 15 seats, The Democrats led by Yair Golan earn 11, and Yisrael Beytenu under Avigdor Liberman takes 10.

Further down the list are United Torah Judaism with 8 seats, while Shas and Otzma Yehudit receive 7 seats each. Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionist party climbs to 6 seats.

Hadash-Ta'al gets 5 seats, Ra'am holds 4, and the joint slate of reservists led by Yoaz Hendel and Chili Tropper crosses the electoral threshold for the first time with 4 seats. Balad and Benny Gantz's Blue and White fail to clear the threshold.

According to the poll, the opposition bloc - which includes the Hendel-Tropper slate - reaches 61 seats, while the coalition bloc led by Netanyahu stands at just 50 seats.

Trump getting influenced by Arab Leaders who keep telling him that Netanyahu Is the Obstacle to Peace

 

For this reason alone its important that Netanyahu get elected again! 

Israeli outlet Kan News reported Wednesday that an Arab diplomat with knowledge of the matter told the news channel that Arab leaders in recent conversations with President Donald Trump have said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

The diplomat said they have been pressing the issue with the president ahead of Israel’s elections in October, saying they have no confidence in the prime minister and his government. Trump has reportedly been swayed by these conversations, which may be why he has refrained from endorsing Netanyahu outright while still calling him a “strong wartime prime minister.”

Trump and Netanyahu have shared some tense moments during the U.S. negotiations with Iran, including when Israel pushed back against being forced into a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which Trump believed was needed for the talks to proceed. The two, however, downplayed those disagreements and presented a united front publicly.

The Story of Sennacherib’s Attack of Judah and Jerusalem During the Reign of Hezekiah-A Syncrhronism Between Archaeology and the Hebrew Bible

A historical event where we see a lot of correspondence between the Biblical Text and archaeology is with the Assyrian attack against the kingdom of Judea and Jerusalem. In Isaiah chapter 36 of the Hebrew Bible it is written

“ In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. 2 Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem.”

From this we see that the King of Judah was Hezekiah and the Assyrian king was Sennacherib. Not only that but the Assyrian king had conquered Lachish and now he was headed to conquer Jerusalem.

What is rare about this story is that we have the extra biblical text from Sennacherib himself. In 1830 Colonel Robert Taylor while excavating at Nineveh found a prism with Akkadian writing on it. It was eventually deciphered. On it reads”

”As for the king of Judah, Hezekiah, who had not submitted to my authority, I besieged and captured forty-six of his fortified cities, along with many smaller towns, taken in battle with my battering rams. … I took as plunder 200,150 people, both small and great, male and female, along with a great number of animals including horses, mules, donkeys, camels, oxen, and sheep. As for Hezekiah, I shut him up like a caged bird in his royal city of Jerusalem. I then constructed a series of fortresses around him, and I did not allow anyone to come out of the city gates. His towns which I captured I gave to Mitinti , king of Ashdod; Padi, ruler of Ekron; and Silli-bel, king of Gaza.”

Sennacherib does not boast about capturing Jerusalem, only other towns of Judah. If he had captured Jerusalem he certainly would have boasted about it being the capital of Judah. Why was Sannacherib not able to capture Jerusalem? Every town the Assyrians besieged they captured all except Jerusalem. According to 2 Kings 18:13–15 it is written:

“ In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. So Hezekiah, king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: “I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me.” The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace.

In the prism written during Sennacherib’s reign it says

“As for Hezekiah, the terrifying splendor of my majesty overcame him, and the Urbi (Arabs) and his mercenary (?) troops which he had brought in to strengthen Jerusalem, his royal city, deserted him (lit. took leave). In addition to the 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver, (there were) gems, antimony, jewels (?), large sandu-stones, couches of ivory, house-chairs of ivory, elephant hide, ivory (lit. elephant’s “teeth”) ebony (?), boxwood (?), all kinds of valuable (heavy) treasures, as well as his daughters, his harem, his male and female musicians, (which) he had (them) bring after me to Nineveh, my royal city. To pay tribute and to accept (lit. do) servitude, he dispatched his messengers.”

Here we see the exact amount of gold as 30 talents of gold in both the Bible and the prism. The amount of silver is not the same but the fact both say Hezekiah gave silver is correct. From both the Hebrew Bible and the account from Sennacherib we see there is a lot of correspondence. the Bible correctly names the Hezekiah King of Judah and Sennacherib King of Assyria. The Bible correctly says towns in Judah were conquered but Jerusalem was not conquered.

All those who argue for the mythical character of the Bible do so from an argument of silence that we have not uncovered yet extra biblical texts corroborating the Bible. However when we do have such extra biblical texts, as we do here, then it shows that the Bible is not a mythical text. Besides being a religious text it is also a historical text.

Chabad Bais Din in Israel Looking into why Wigs are now $16,000!

 After years of complaints about the steady increase in wig prices, a new campaign is taking shape that could bring significant change.

Attorney Nechama Tzivin is advancing an initiative to secure halachic intervention regarding wig pricing, arguing that current prices constitute excessive price gouging that places a heavy burden on many families.

The initiative was sparked by a case in which a wig was reportedly sold for approximately ₪48,000 – about $16,000 USD. According to the organizers, this case illustrates the dramatic rise in wig prices in recent years and underscores the need for intervention by the rabbinical court.

As part of the effort, a formal claim is expected to be filed with Beis Din Rabbonei Chabad in Israel in the coming days. Similar claims are also planned for rabbinical courts serving the Litvish and Chassidic communities, with the goal of developing a broad communal position on the issue.

According to the organizers, the primary request is for the rabbinical courts to examine the matter and consider ways to oversee wig pricing and prevent excessive price inflation, with the aim of easing the financial burden on many families.

As of now, no response has been issued by representatives of the wig industry, nor have they provided an explanation for the high prices of wigs.

Good by "Vasikin" Minyanim in the USA

 There will be no turning back the clock if the House has its way.

The House passed a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent. Proponents, including the White House, argued the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. The vote was 308-117.

Daylight saving time is that period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. States could opt out if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill’s enactment. The Senate would also have to pass the bill before it could be signed into law, but it’s unclear if it will do so.

Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., said Americans are ready to “ditch the switch,” saying that changing the clock twice a year creates unnecessary disruption. More important, he said, it would give families more daylight time in the evening to spend outdoors and support local businesses.

“In my home state of Florida where tourism is a cornerstone of our economy, having more predictable daylight hours is a practical improvement that benefits workers, businesses and visitors alike,” Bilirakis said.

Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings where children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.

“Millions of Americans will wake up during the winter months in complete darkness with the sun not rising until long after people get up and travel to school or work or have to go about their days,” said Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa.

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass, said he supported the bill, but he questioned whether it was the best way for Congress to be spending its time.

“For folks getting crushed by rent, groceries, utility bills and healthcare costs, is this really the best the majority can do?” McGovern said. “Is this really the most pressing issue before the American people at this moment?”

A 2025 poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that if forced to choose, most Americans would prefer to keep that extra hour of daylight in the evening.

If they had to choose one option for the entire country to use, more than half of adults — 56% — prefer making daylight saving time permanent, with less light in the morning and more light in the evening. About 4 in 10 prefer standard time, with more light in the morning and less in the evening.

The White House weighed in before the House vote, calling the “Sunshine Protection Act” a popular, common-sense reform and saying advisers would recommend the president sign the bill if it reaches his desk.

Members of Congress have long been interested in the potential benefits and costs of daylight saving time since it was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. The Senate passed a bill four years ago to make daylight saving time permanent, but it stalled in the House.
