The Sefer Yalkut Shimoni predicts that the Messiah is very very close!

Jews familiar with the ancient Yalkut Shimoni notice recent tensions between Iran, Saudi Arabia match prophecy regarding the Messiah.

Jews familiar with an ancient compilation of Aggadic exegesis called Yalkut Shimoni noticed in recent weeks that current tension between Iran and Saudi Arabiamatches a prophecy it contains regarding the year in which the Messiah – the King who redeems Israel and the world – is to appear.
 

In particular, the recently revealed Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the U.S. and subsequent reports that the Arab nations are pressuring the West to attack Iran, appear to fit the sequence of events predicted in the Yalkut Shimoni.

In to the part of the book dealing with the Book of Isaiah, the following passage appears:

"Rabbi Yitzchak said: 'In the year in which the Messiah-King appears, all the nations of the world are provoking each other. The King of Persia provokes an Arab king and the Arab king turns to Aram for advice. And the King of Persia goes back and destroys the entire world. And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth, and Israel are in panic and distress and asking 'where shall we go? Where shall we go?,' and He says to them 'my sons, do not fear; all that I have done, I have done only for you. Why are you afraid? Do not fear, your time of redemption has come, and the final redemption is not like the first redemption, because the first redemption was followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms, but the final redemption is not followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms."

Persia is currently known as Iran, and an Arab king – or the Arab king – can be reasonably understood, in modern eyes, as referring to the king of [Saudi] Arabia, the Arab homeland.

This passage is relatively well-known and oft-quoted, and some modern versions of it substitute "Edom" for "Aram." Ancient Jewish references to "Edom" are nowadays generally seen as referring to Europe or the West. "Aram" refers to a part of ancient Mesopotamia, roughly congruent to the northern part of modern Iraq and eastern Syria. The instability in precisely this area is reportedly what most concerns the Saudis, as a U.S. pullout from Iraq looms and Syria's pro-Iranian regime teeters.

The prophecy bodes ill for much of the world, which, if Rabbi Yitzchak's quote is to be taken literally, is to be destroyed by Iran before the Messiah steps in.

The identity of the compiler of Yalkut Shimoni is not known with certainty but a copy of it is known to have existed 700 years ago, in 1310 CE. The works it quotes are even older, and go back to early Talmudic times.

Tendler loses against bloggers again

Tendler won't learn, he wants to be in the news all the time.... his lawsuit  to find out the identity of bloggers has been sent to the garbage heap... he tried to keep the illusion that he is innocent, so he kept suing the bloggers to give the impression that the bloggers fabricated that he had illicit relationships with members of his shul...
but fooled nobody... his 500 plus page motion has been sent to the recycle bin of history...
Judge Victor Alfieri saw thru Tricky Tendler's tricks and threw the whole thing out...
He also  lost the case, Index no:2284-2006,  against Abraham Kiss, he was asking the court to allow Abraham Kiss to be deposed, trying to tie Abraham Kiss with KNH and believed that the deposition would somehow prove that KNH and Abraham Kiss were in collusion to get him fired. Truth is that Abraham Kiss was never a member of KNH and never had any relationship with the KNH Board or any of its members. It was only after KNH threw him out that Abraham Kiss got to know some of the people praying at KNH. The Judge denied his motion and threw that case in the heap of garbage as well.. 
If he wants to know why he was fired he should glance in the mirror..

Police release Video of Killer of Jewish Lady

This video, released today by cops, shows the mystery murderer of Brooklyn accountant Larisa Komsky lying in wait for her just before he launched a brutal stabbing attack.

The suspect is seen getting out of his SUV, walking around to the passenger side and picking up something on the ground — just as Larisa Komsky, 50, drives up to in her white Mercedes convertible.

After she pulled into a parking space outside her apartment building on Homecrest Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, neighbors heard a terrified Komsky ask, “What are you doing here?’’

Then she let loose with blood-curdling screams.

Cops have showed the tape to at least two people who knew her well, her rabbi and a co-worker, but neither could identify the suspect.

The rabbi, Kalev Krelin, said, “she was always in touch with me about her private issues. Some clients wanted to come to her but she didn’t want to be stealing other people’s clients. “She was a very honest person.”

Her distraught son, Vadim Komsky, 37, said, “my mother did not have any enemies. She would have told me if she had any troubles.

“Mt mother was an amazing woman. There’s not enough good things I can say about her. “The synagogue meant the world to her.’’

The family moved to Brooklyn from the Ukraine 20 years ago and no-one could speak English.

He said she studied hard and eventually “got an MBA from Baruch. She was a straight A student.’’

Jewish Lady 50, murdered in Brooklyn, Video

The hunt for a killer is on in Brooklyn after police said a woman was stabbed to death just steps away from her home.

Larisa Komsky, 50, was killed while walking home after parking her car on Homecrest Avenue before 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Komsky was stabbed twice in the leg and once in the hand, police said. She was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.

Witnesses told police they saw a green mini-van fleeing from the scene.

Shocked neighbors described Komsky as a friendly woman, who went to shul regularly at a synagogue on her block.

Komsky, an accountant, ran her own business in Sheepshead Bay, a couple of miles from her home.

“It’s unbelievable,” Boris Feldman, who owns a business in the same building as Komsky, said. “Very terrible news for us. She’s a beautiful person. The nicest person I know of.”

Detectives removed a box of files from Komsky’s office Tuesday.

At first detectives thought Komsky was killed by someone she had a relationship with but Guzman reports video has ruled that out.

A motive for the murder remains unknown.

The investigation is ongoing.

ZOO-ccoti Park cleared of all animals! Video

The NYPD arrested 70 protesters as they moved in on Zuccotti Park early this morning and began clearing out the thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters who had taken over the space for nearly two months.

More than 1,000 cops marched on the lower Manhattan encampment shortly before 1 a.m. and handed out fliers ordering demonstrators to get out and remove their personal property.

The cops were followed by Sanitation workers, one of whom was overheard saying, “We’re gonna disinfect the hell out of this place.”

The fliers read, “The city has determined that the continued occupation of Zuccotti Park poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard to those camped in the park, the city’s first responders, and to the surrounding community.

“You are required to immediately remove all property, including tents, sleeping bags and tarps.”

That touched off a chaotic scene within the park, as many of the protesters were roused from their slumber and began shouting to others, “Wake up!”

The chaos was continuing this morning, as cops and protesters battled on Pine Street and Broadway at 5 a.m., with police pushing crowds out of the street and on to the sidewalk. Cops charged into the mob after a protester threw an object into a group of police.

At least one police officer was injured; he was seen being taken out of Zuccotti Park on a stretcher, his eyes closed and with several lacerations on his face.

Cops cut U-shaped bike locks off the necks of the last holdouts, who chained themselves together in the center of Zuccotti, witnesses said.

A roving group of several hundred ousted protesters marched north up Centre Street after the cleanup, clashing with police who in at least one case were seen using batons on a group crossing the street in a crosswalk and with a green light. A large crowd of protesters went north and are at Foley Square.

Police arrested at least 70 people in the early morning chaos, physically dragging many from the squalid encampment.

“What do you mean I’m done? What law did I break?” screamed a man as he was arrested and marched out of the park.

“I’m an anarchist, I’m not leaving this park,” said Asa Lowe, who was binding the hands of Amina Malika, 17, and Mesiah Hameed, 16, to a tree in the center of the park.

“I don’t give a f--k what they do,” said Hameed.

Black Bears roam Monsey, and police don't care! Video

The bear has been seen in the Wesley Hills area of Monsey for weeks now, roaming the streets in the daytime and rummaging through garbage cans, looking for food.

Malki Fisher, who lives in the area, says after a bear tried to break into her kitchen on Thursday, she contacted the Ramapo Police Department, and she says they didn’t do anything to help her. Other neighbors agree, complaining nothing is being done to protect anyone, especially children.

Ramapo police say they are aware of the situation, and are advising everyone to stay away from any bears if they see them and to notify the police.

10 year old kills herself after being bullied in school

The family of a 10-year-old honor student who killed herself last week said the girl had struggled with bullying at both her school and in her community.

Ashlynn Conner, a student at Georgetown Ridge Farm Elementary School in Vermilion County in east central Illinois, told her mother two weeks before her death that she was being bullied, CBS Chicago reports.

Stacy Conner, the girl's mother, told WCIA-TV thatstudents had been teasing her daughter for years.

"They'd call her a slut," she told the station. "Ashlynn's ugly. She's fat."

Though she realized her daughter was being bullied, she said she did not know how to respond. She hopes her coming forward with her daughter's story may help other families going through similar struggles.

"I thought my kids were strong," Connor said. "That my words to them for guidance and advice would have more weight than what these kids were saying. I was wrong."

Last Thursday, Ashlynn reportedly asked her mother if she could be home-schooled, CBS reports. The next day, Ashlynn was found by a sibling in a closet after she had hanged herself.

Israel behind the deadly explosion of Iranian missle base that killed Missle Expert and 16 Soldiers

Finally, the Israelis are beginning to "clean the clocks" of the Iranians...

Smoke rises from an explosion at a Revolutionary Guard ammunition depot outside Tehran, which, according to Iranian officials, killed at least 15 people on Nov. 12, 2011

Read the following from Time Magazine

Israeli newspapers on Sunday were thick with innuendo, the front pages of the three largest dailies dominated by variations on the headline "Mysterious Explosion in Iranian Missile Base." Turn the page, and the mystery is answered with a wink. "Who Is Responsible for Attacks on the Iranian Army?" asks Maariv, and the paper lists without further comment a half-dozen other violent setbacks to Iran's nuclear and military nexus. For Israeli readers, the coy implication is that their own government was behind Saturday's massive blast just outside Tehran. It is an assumption a Western intelligence source insists is correct: the Mossad — the Israeli agency charged with covert operations — did it. "Don't believe the Iranians that it was an accident," the official tells TIME, adding that other sabotage is being planned to impede the Iranian ability to develop and deliver a nuclear weapon. "There are more bullets in the magazine," the official says.

The powerful blast or series of blasts — reports described an initial explosion followed by a much larger one — devastated a missile base in the gritty urban sprawl to the west of the Iranian capital. The base housed Shahab missiles, which, at their longest range, can reach Israel. Last week's report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran had experimented with removing the conventional warhead on the Shahab-3 and replacing it with one that would hold a nuclear device. Iran says the explosion was an accident that came while troops were transferring ammunition out of the depot "toward the appropriate site."(See why ties between the U.S. and Iran are under threat.)

The explosion killed at least 17 people, including Major General Hassan Moqqadam, described by Iranian state media as a pioneer in Iranian missile development and the Revolutionary Guard commander in charge of "ensuring self-sufficiency" in armaments, a challenging task in light of international sanctions.

Coming the weekend after the release of the unusually critical IAEA report, which laid out page upon page of evidence that Iran is moving toward a nuclear weapon, the blast naturally sharpened concern over Israel's threat to launch airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Half the stories on the Tehran Times website on Sunday referenced the possibility of a military strike, most warning of dire repercussions.

But the incident also argued, maybe even augured, against an outright strike. If Israel — perhaps in concert with Washington and other allies — can continue to inflict damage to the Iranian nuclear effort through covert actions, the need diminishes for overt, incendiary moves like air strikes. The Stuxnet computer worm bollixed Iran's centrifuges for months, wreaking havoc on the crucial process of uranium enrichment.

And in Sunday's editions, the Hebrew press coyly listed what Yedioth Ahronoth called "Iran's Mysterious Mishaps." The tallies ran from the November 2007 explosion at a missile base south of Tehran to the October 2010 blast at a Shahab facility in southwestern Iran, to the assassinations of three Iranian scientists working in the nuclear program — two last year and one in July.(See photos of the semiofficial view of Iran.)

At the very least, the list burnishes the mystique of the Mossad, Israel's overseas spy agency. Whatever the case-by-case reality, the popular notion that, through the Mossad, Israel knows everything and can reach anywhere is one of the most valuable assets available to a state whose entire doctrine of defense can be summed up in the word deterrence. But it doesn't mean Israel is the only country with a foreign intelligence operation inside Iran. The most recent IAEA report included intelligence from 10 governments on details of the Iranian nuclear effort. And in previous interviews, Western security sources have indicated that U.S. and other Western intelligence agencies have partnered with Israel on covert operations inside Iran. Sometimes the partner brings specific expertise or access. In other cases, Iranian agents on the ground who might harbor misgivings about Israel are allowed to believe they are working only with another government altogether.

Saturday's blast was so powerful it was felt 25 miles away in Tehran, and so loud that one nearby resident with combat experience thought he had just heard the detonation of an aerial bomb. "Frankly it did not sound like an arms depot from where I was because when one of those goes off, it is multiple explosions over minutes, even hours depending on the size of the facility," the resident says. "All I heard was one big boom. I was sure from the quality of the noise that anyone in its immediate vicinity was dead. Something definitely happened, but I would not trust the [Revolutionary] Guards to be absolutely forthcoming as to what it was."
