Does Hashem Change His Mind? You'd be Surprised!

By Rabbi Moshe Taragin 

Parashat Mishpatim delves into the intricate web of civil laws that govern monetary and commercial interactions. 

It opens with an allusion to beit din: ואלה המשפטים אשר תשים לפניהם

 "These are the principles which should be placed before them" 

 The term "לפניהם"—"before them"—is interpreted by Chazal as a directive to bring civil and monetary disputes before a beit din. 

The preface to Parshat Mishpatim, which establishes the framework of Choshen Mishpat, empowers a beit din to oversee and resolve all legal monetary matters. 

The Worst Enemy Of Israel are American Jews!

 

Footage of one of the Bat Yam Bomber terrorists from inside the bus

 

Hillel Fuld : 

Since day one, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that since 10/7, we’ve witnessed so many miracles, it’s hard to count.

Some of these miracles are easy to recognize, like how well the beeper operation went down or how successful we were at intercepting or detonating those hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles fired at us from Iran. Twice.

Other miracles were harder to recognize.

And then we have last night.

Last night was a miracle the caliber of the splitting of the sea.

I am talking an open miracle that could and should have ended very differently.

Do not ask me for my source and if that means you don’t believe what I’m about to say, so be it. You can keep scrolling. But if you know my work, you know I’m very careful with what I share so if I’m sharing this, trust me, it’s based on a reliable source.

Last night, a young lady noticed a suspicious object on a bus in the center of Israel. She reported it to the driver who pulled into a station, got everyone off the bus, at which point, the bus blew up and was completely destroyed.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Not even close.

Over the hours that followed, an additional four bombs were discovered on buses, some of them exploded, others were taken apart before exploding. Some malfunctioned.

According to my source, and this was news to me, a whopping 15 buses were supposed to explode this morning. According to reports, the terrorist set the timer for 9 PM instead of 9 AM.

So is that the worst of it? Not even close.

'We have witnessed unimaginable depths of cruelty and evil' ....Head of the Forensic Institute

 

Dr. Chen Kugel, director of the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, also known as "Abu Kabir," on Saturday confirmed that his team had positively identified the remains of hostage Shiri Bibas, who was murdered in Hamas captivity in the early weeks of the war.

In a statement, Kugel stressed that there is "no evidence" that Shiri Bibas was killed in an airstrike.

The findings prove that Hamas' claim that Israel killed Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir in an airstrike is false, and an attempt to both mislead the international community and cause Israelis psychological harm.

"We identified Shiri Bibas two days after we identified her children," Kugel said. "Our examination found no evidence of injuries caused by bombing."

He added: "Since Thursday morning we have worked professionally and carefully to provide clear answers to the Lifshitz and Bibas-Silberman families. It’s a difficult day for the families, for us, the medical staff, and for the entire nation of Israel."

"We have witnessed unimaginable depths of cruelty and evil. Our hearts go [out] to the family and we continue to hope for the return of all the remaining captives."

Shiri Bibas is back and was murdered in captivity

 

Kibbutz Nir Oz on Friday evening announced the murder of Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped from her home on the morning of the October 7 massacre, together with her children Ariel (4) and Kfir (9 months).

The announcement followed the positive identification of Shiri's body by the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.

The family responded: "Tonight our Shiri returned home. We received the news we feared: Our Shiri was murdered in captivity, and now she has returned home to her sons, her husband, her sister, and her entire family - to rest. Despite the fears for their fate, we continued to hope that we would merit to embrace them, and now we are pained and broken."

"For 16 months, we asked for certainty, and now we have no comfort in it, but we hope that we will be able to find closure. Shiri was an amazing mother to Ariel and Kfir, and a loving partner to Yarden; a dedicated sister and aunt, and an amazing friend. At this difficult time, we continue to demand and call for the immediate return of all the other hostages who remain in captivity. There is no goal more important than this. There will be no healing without them. The details for the week of mourning and the funeral will be published later. Please give the family the space to digest and mourn. Thank you to everyone for their support and love over these 16 months. If only Shiri could have seen it."

Forensics experts believe that Shiri was murdered by the terrorists who held her and her children captive, in the early weeks of the war. Kibbutz Nir Oz said that "Shiri, who was abducted when she was 32, was born and raised in Nir Oz. For years, she cared for the kibbutz's children with dedication, as part of the education system, and she was beloved by all who knew her. In the past two years, she worked as the kibbutz accountant, but above everything else, she was a dedicated mother, who was dedicated to parenting with infinite love. Shiri, Yarden, Kfir, and Ariel, loved their home in Nir Oz very much; they loved the porch and the grass, where they spent an infinite number of happy moments as a family, and from which they were all kidnapped on October 7."

"Shiri's parents, Yossi and Margit Silberman, were murdered on the morning of October 7. Today, after 16 unbearably hard months, the circle of pain has finally closed for the family, and in the coming days she will return, together with her two young sons, to eternal rest on Israel's land. Shiri is survived by her loving husband, sister, nephews, family, and friends who will always remember her smile, good-heartedness, and joy in living which she shared with everyone. May the memories of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir be blessed."

Omer Wenkert, Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov, and Tal Shoham were kidnapped to Gaza during the October 7 massacre and spent over 500 days in captivity.

Zera Shimshon Parshas Mishpatim

 

Agam found Rabbi Druckman's Sefer in Gaza

 

Released hostage Agam Berger, who was kidnapped from the IDF base at Nahal Oz, said that she read Rabbi Haim Druckman's book on Jewish law, she understood that she was permitted to eat non-kosher meat in a case of life and death.

The book was printed and distributed by Bnei Akiva yeshivas and girls' high schools, and one copy was accidentally forgotten in a building after the soldiers left, and reached Agam's hands.

Elhanan Glatt, CEO of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center who himself distributed hundreds of books at a conference, wrote emotionally to the management team: "Rabbi Druckman, there is a reward for your work, and they returned from an enemy land. We sought to plant the spirit and light of Rabbi [Druckman] in the soldiers a moment before the ground operation."

Yaniv Sufan, director of the "Hinenu" initiative to continue Rabbi Druckman's legacy, said, "It is so moving that the booklets from Rabbi Druckman, of blessed memory, reached the soldiers who needed them more than anything - the lookouts."

"There is nothing that symbolizes the booklet's name, 'With Strength and With Spirit,' more than Agam's spirit of greatness, which we have been revealed since her return."

Hamas Playing Cruel Games and Have Not Sent Back Body of Shiri Bibas!

 

Following the identification process conducted by the National Center of Forensic Medicine in coordination with the Israel Police, IDF representatives have informed the Bibas family that their loved ones, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, have been identified.

Based on intelligence and forensic findings, professional assessments indicate that Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered in captivity by terrorists in November 2023.

Additionally, the third body received was not that of Shiri Bibas and does not match any other known hostage. It remains unidentified.

This is a severe violation by Hamas, which was obligated under the agreement to return four fallen hostages. We demand that Hamas return Shiri Bibas along with all remaining hostages.

Ariel Bibas, four years old, and Kfir Bibas, ten months old, were kidnapped alongside their mother, Shiri, from their home in Nir Oz. Their father, Yarden Bibas, was taken earlier while trying to protect them. Yarden was returned as part of the hostage release
