For the last week, I have been listening to the "mainstream" Rabbis giving Chizik, and unfortunately, I found no comfort in anything they had to say, then I came across this video, and I found these converts to be genuine but more important their message which is full of Amunah and Bitachon!

Iran breaks ceasefire with missile attack on Israel; Katz instructs IDF to ‘respond forcefully in heart of Tehran’
Sirens sounded across northern Israel shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, after Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Israeli territory.
The IDF called on the public to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command and stated that the IAF was operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat.
The missile was assumed to have been intercepted; no injuries or fallen projectiles were reported.
The launch came three and a half hours after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran went into effect.
Minister of Defense Israel Katz condemned the violation of the ceasefire and stated: "In light of Iran's blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States, and the launch of missiles toward Israel—and in accordance with the Israeli government's policy to respond forcefully to any violation—I have instructed the IDF, in coordination with the Prime Minister, to continue the intensified strike operations in Tehran, targeting regime assets and terrorist infrastructure in the city. This follows the actions carried out yesterday."
IDF Chief of Staff LTG Eyal Zamir held a situational assessment following the infringement and declared: "In light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force."
Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionists) reacted to the launch, stating: "Teran will shake."
Iranian state television denied that Iran launched a missile after the ceasefire began and warned that Israel would bear responsibility for any attack.
Overnight, US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. The Israeli government confirmed that Israel agreed to a bilateral ceasefire with Iran, in full coordination with President Trump, following what Prime Minister Netanyahu called the successful completion of Operation Rising Lion. The operation eliminated both nuclear and ballistic missile threats, achieved air superiority over Tehran, and struck key regime and military targets. Netanyahu hailed the campaign as a historic achievement that positions Israel among the world’s leading powers.
In the two hours leading up to the ceasefire, Iran launched six barrages of a total of approximately 20 missiles at Israel.
One of the missiles in that early-morning barrage struck a residential building in Be'er Sheva, murdering four and injuring dozens of others.
‘You have 12 hours to escape’: Israel launched covert campaign to intimidate Iranian officials
In the hours after Israel launched its first wave of strikes against Iran on June 13, killing top military leaders and nuclear scientists, Israeli intelligence operatives launched a covert campaign to intimidate senior officials with the apparent aim of dividing and destabilizing Tehran’s theocratic regime, according to three people familiar with the operation.*
People working for Israel’s security services who speak Persian, Iran’s primary language, called senior Iranian officials on their cellphones and warned them that they, too, would die unless they ceased supporting the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, according to the three people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss clandestine operations. One of them estimated that more than 20 Iranians in positions of power were contacted.
The Washington Post obtained an audio recording and transcript of one such call, which took place the same day, June 13, that Israel began its bombardment of Iran.
“I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you’re on our list right now,” an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general close to the country’s rulers, according to the audio recording. The operative then suggested that Israel could train weapons on the general and his family at any moment. “We’re closer to you than your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May God protect you,” he said.
The general, a member of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was told he had 12 hours to make a video disassociating himself from the Iranian government.

Largest camera ever built captures eye-popping images of millions of distant stars and galaxies
The first images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory showed off a breathtaking preview of its capabilities — capturing millions of stars and galaxies light-years from Earth, along with thousands of never-before-seen asteroids.
The observatory — perched atop Cerro Pachón in the Chilean Andes Mountains — will train its high-powered 27.5-foot Simonyi Survey Telescope at the night sky over the next decade to give astronomers an unprecedented look at the cosmos.
The newly released images were compiled from around 10 hours of test observations, showing swirling clouds of pink and golden dust that make up the Trifid nebula and a large cluster of galaxies known as the Virgo cluster — both located thousands of light-years away.
In all, the video made from the first 1,100 test images shows around 10 million distant galaxies in the camera’s wide-view lens, a tiny fraction of the approximately 20 billion galaxies the Rubin observatory is hoping to capture over the course of its work.
“NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will capture more information about our universe than all optical telescopes throughout history combined,” National Science Foundation Chief of Staff Brian Stone told CNN.
The test images also uncovered 2,104 asteroids that had never before been seen in our solar system, including seven “near-Earth” asteroids — those within about 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit.
Scientists at the observatory said none of them pose any threat to our planet.
Images of the asteroids are expected to be shared with the public on Monday.
Typical telescopes based in space or on the ground are capable of spying around 20,000 asteroids each year, while the Rubin Observatory is expected to discover millions of the rocky space objects in just the next two years alone, according to the US National Science Foundation, which funded the observatory along with the US Department of Energy.
The primary objective of the $810 million observatory, which took approximately 20 years to build, is to create an ultra-high-definition movie of the images it captures over the next 10 years known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
The resulting time-lapse compilation will show details like comets and asteroids zooming by, exploding stars and distant galaxies transforming over time.
“[Rubin] will enable us to explore galaxies, stars in the Milky Way, objects in the solar system, and all in a truly new way. Since we take images of the night sky so quickly and so often, (it) will detect millions of changing objects literally every night,” Aaron Roodman, a professor of particle physics and astrophysics at Stanford University, told the outlet.
The observatory’s unique capabilities will help other powerful telescopes direct their focus, acting as a “discovery machine” to discover other interesting areas of the universe that warrant a closer look.
The telescope’s namesake, Vera C. Rubin, is considered one of the most influential female astronomers of all time.
She is credited with providing some of the first evidence proving the existence of dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up much of our universe.
🚨🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN 🚨🚨
President Donald Trump has announced a pending ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, officially bringing an end to what he called “The 12 Day War.” The agreement, brokered after days of intense diplomatic and military maneuvering, marks the conclusion of nearly two weeks of devastating conflict across the Middle East.
According to the statement, Iran will begin the ceasefire in approximately six hours, followed by Israel after 12 hours. After a full 24-hour truce, Trump said, the war will be considered officially over and “saluted by the world.”
The ceasefire follows a relentless Israeli military campaign that saw the IDF carry out thousands of precision strikes across Iran, targeting Revolutionary Guard facilities, missile factories, and infrastructure. Among the most significant blows were the assassinations of some two dozen top Iranian military commanders, and numerous leading nuclear scientists.
The campaign culminated in a joint U.S.-Israeli operation involving America’s B-2 stealth bombers, which dropped bunker-busting munitions on Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear facilities — including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Defense analysts believe the strikes may have obliterated Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and set back its nuclear ambitions by several years, if not more.
In his announcement, President Trump congratulated both nations for what he described as their “stamina, courage, and intelligence” in reaching the agreement. He emphasized that the ceasefire would require both sides to remain “peaceful and respectful” and hailed the outcome as a historic breakthrough that prevented a much wider and potentially longer war.
“This is a war that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East — but it didn’t, and never will,” Trump wrote. He closed the statement with a series of blessings: “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world.”
Moments after President Trump’s announcement, Vice President J.D. Vance discussed the ceasefire on Fox News: “The President without … having a single American casualty obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place where we weren’t a week ago.”
HaRav Zilberstein: “We’re Seeing The Revelation Of Hakadosh Baruch Hu” NO Credit to the IDF!
I find it ironic that the Charedie R"Y are all yelling that the IDF claims "Koichi Ve'etzem Yadi" but they themselves will never give credit to the shluchim of the RBS"O!
What happened to "Hakoras Ha'toiv?"
Moshe Rabbeinu was named "Moshe" to give thanks to Batye who rescued him
וַתִּקְרָ֤א שְׁמוֹ֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֥י מִן־הַמַּ֖יִם מְשִׁיתִֽהוּ
"She called him "Moshe" because I drew him from the water"
His parents gave him other names, but this is the only name referring to Moshe being used
?Why
To give her Hakoras Hatoiv, though it was the RBS"O that ultimately saved her
Here we do have a R"Y that acknowledges that all these are miracles but will not G-D forbid give credit to his Jewish brothers in uniform
HaRav Arie Kovalevcki, the Rosh Yeshivah of Hadras Melech, a yeshivah in Bnei Brak for bochurim from Spanish-speaking countries, went this week to the kollel of HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein together with his talmidim.
The kollel, normally in Holon, is being temporarily housed in the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Brak.
After Mincha, the Rosh Yeshivah and his talmidim gathered around HaRav Zilberstein, who was wrapped in a tallis and tefillin, since his minhag since the war began is to learn all day with tefillin on his head, and for Mincha, he donned a tallis.
The Rosh Yeshivah told HaRav Zilberstein that the parents of the bochurim are nervous because of the war, and some of them want their sons to return home as soon as possible. The talmidim wanted to know what HaRav Zilberstein says about the matter.
HaRav Zilberstein responded in a lengthy and emotional message, speaking directly to “the parents of the bochurim in Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, and Panama. One of the ikarei emunah is believing in bias Moshiach. If we await him every day, then don’t bring your sons home, especially during these days when we see the revelation of Hakadosh Baruch Hu in all His glory. We are seeing awesome things now. Who dreamed of this? Who thought that the Jews would so successfully instill fear in Iran?”
“They killed every official and important figure there; they killed them all in one fell swoop. We see that Hashem—Hu Elokim. Now is the greatest time for the Jewish nation. Everyone needs to declare, ‘I believe in bias haMoshiach, and even though he may tarry, I’ll await him every day.’
“So, if that’s the case, I think that leaving your sons here now in Eretz Yisrael is a Kiddush Hashem, and it will help every father and mother who is worried, and they really do worry—and yet they leave their children here; they believe in bias haMoshiach.”
“Believe me, the children need to stay here now! This is the greatest time there is. This is truly an awesome time, a time when we see the revelation of Elokim!”
Therefore, I advise all the dear and esteemed parents to leave their sons here. Do not be afraid, they will not be harmed! They will only grow and grow and grow! And you will have nachas. Ashreichem and happy is your lot, ashreichim if you listen to me, and don’t bring them home. They should stay here, and you’ll daven for them, and in this zechus, you will have a long life.”
From a Real Gadol " Should Hallel be Said Over The Destruction Of The Iranian Nuclear Program
DIN: A breath of fresh air, finally! A R"Y who has no political motives!
Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Rimon is a Rosh Yeshiva at the Lev Academic Center’s Beis Midrash program, rabbi of the Gush Etzion region, head of the World Mizrachi and founder of the Sulamot program for interactive teaching of Judaism. He was asked whether we should say Hallel over the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program.
For decades, we have known that the greatest threat to the Jewish people is Iran—a country more than 2,000 kilometers away from Israel, with no territorial dispute with us, but which seeks to destroy the State of Israel solely because we are Jews. This threat recalls the words of Haman in ancient Persia some 2,500 years ago: “to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews.”
Operation “Am KeLavi” is a tremendous miracle. A miracle in the very boldness of the State of Israel to act in the heart of Iran; a miracle in the success of the Air Force, in its operational precision, and in the wisdom of the Mossad over the years. And above all—a miracle in the bombing of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure by the United States—an act that will be remembered for generations as a great deliverance for Israel and for the entire world. All of these are accompanied by great miracles and Divine assistance.

Ami Magazine Continues to Slander the Jewish People in Israel
 |
| Yitzi Frankfurter Editor of Ami |
Who were the spies? The Torah goes out of its way to describe them!
, כֻּלָּ֣ם אֲנָשִׁ֔ים רָאשֵׁ֥י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽמָּה׃
Lest you think that they were a bunch of bums, the Torah says quite the opposite, they were, in fact the Gedoilei Yisrael, hand-chosen by none other than the Ribbono Shel Olam Himself! They were what you would call today, the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah!
We have spoken about this many times, and if you wish you can look at the sidebar and see what happened in all its glory!
In this week's Ami Magazine, Yitzy Frankfurter decided that it would be a great idea to post "Divrei Chizzuk" from Rav Meir Tzvi Bergman, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Rashbi and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and the son-in-law of Rav Shach z"l!
After all, the State of Israel, the only Jewish State in the entire world, and the home of the majority of the Jewish people, is fighting for its very survival, and what better article than Chizzuk from an Odom Gadol!
Setting aside shallow water, the article immediately dives into deep water; the "Divrei Chizzuk" begins with a vicious attack on those in the Israeli Government, the very government that is in charge of this war!
"The way that those in government speak, always praising themselves- aside from the fact that it reflects the attitude of "koch v'otzem yadi" it tramples on the hashgacha of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. It becomes nauseating how they constantly glorify themselves."
Ironically, it is the Satmar/Yeshivishe derech to say that it is in fact the IDF that get all the credit, and it is all "Bederech Ha'Tevah" and there are no miracles for the Zionists! They are winning, according to the Roshei Yeshiva, precisely because they have a "great army!' But should the IDF say exactly what they are saying then its "koch v'otzem yadi?"
I sit in kollel with avreicim and I hear this all the time, and when I do I can't help but burst out laughing, when they ask "what's so funny' I say "just replay what you just said!
Now I am going to give the Rosh Yeshiva the benefit of the doubt, and assume that he doesn't get the news himself but is updated by ASS'kanim, since he says in this very article:
"Its the yetzer hara's advice to seek out the news. It's a real taavah. There is no benefit - only harm."
So, according to his own words, he doesn't read the news!
If he did he would have noticed that the Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu mentions the name of the Ribono Shel Olam in every single speech! Even the IDF Spokesman says "Be'ezrat Hashem" in every one of his statements, even though he is not wearing a kippa! The world press saw just yesterday, Netanyahu in a Talis at the Kotel, thanking Hashem!
Now, those reading this outrageous lie have seen with their very own eyes that this statement is completely false and is pure unadulterated Loshon Hara, on the very week that we read about the Meraglim!
My question is, that Yitzy Frankfurter does read the news and he must have seen and read what we all saw on CNN, ABC, WNBC, Fox News, official statements from officials from the Israeli Government all saying "With the Help of G-d."
Yet, Yitzy chose not to censure this blasphemous attack on other Jews, because of his sick, perverted antizionist Agenda!
Truth be told that those who know Yitzy, have never accused him of being the sharpest blade in the drawer, but what they didn't know is how cruel he can be!
