Remembrance Day For The Fallen In Israel’s Wars And The Victims of Terror

Laitman_417We arrived in the land of Israel after 2,000 years, after the Holocaust, after extermination and after pogroms. We returned to our historical land to establish our nation, our homeland, our people here, and we must do everything possible so that what we have gone through will never be repeated.

Wars come and go, there is no end to them. Just as one war ends, preparation for the next war begins.

We need to understand how we can achieve true peace, such a peace where all nations will not feel hatred and rejection toward us and will begin to accept the nation that was established by our hands, as a nation, will stop thinking that we have no right to exist as a people, like every person, as Jews and as a nation.

Why does everyone think that we should disappear from the face of the Earth? We must understand the reason for this, for those who gave their lives for the sake of the existence of the people and the establishment of the nation.  And then we will understand that we are not carrying out our special role on Earth, that we are a special people.

We must be the people of Israel. And the people of Israel are a people that were created on the basis of mutual responsibility, mutual connection, friendship, love, and unity, “as one person with one heart.”

If we become a people like this, we will succeed in establishing a different nation, not like the Western nations. It will be based on spiritual foundations. And then, as a people and as a nation, we can also provide an example to all other peoples and nations who are earnestly seeking ways to a better future but cannot find it without us.

We must be a “light unto the nations” (Isaiah 48:6), an example for them. I very much hope that we understand and implement this. And then the aversion and hatred toward us, the accusation that we exist only to cause harm to all the nations of the world, will naturally disappear.

Let us think about this and carry out our mission together for the sake of those who gave their lives so that we could exist today.

Islam, Spain, And The Entire World

laitman_437In the News (Breitbart): “Hundreds of posters displayed in a migrant-dominated part of Barcelona are urging Muslim men to marry Spanish women in a bid to spread Islam, and inviting members of the community to an ‘information meeting’.

“The posters, which are derogatory about Christians but call on ‘Brothers’ to marry women of the religion to ‘strengthen’ Islam, have been plastered through the neighbourhood of El Raval. Official data collected in 2014 found that 56.7 per cent of residents in El Raval were born abroad.

“’It is permissible and encouraged that the Muslim man marries honest and chaste women who belong to the People of the Book. Even though they have distorted and altered the tradition, they are still suitable for marriage.

“’Brother, enter a partnership with a Spaniard, teach her that Islam is the true religion. …

“Local media reports that El Raval is a key target for Muslim supremacist groups who say followers of Islam have a ‘right of return’ to Spain.”

My Comment: Spain was once conquered by Muslims and stayed under their rule for a long time.

According to Islam, the lands that were once Muslim for some time, first of all, are obliged to return to Islam, not to mention the entire world.

Question: What is going to happen to Spain?

Answer: The same thing that will happen to the entire world: Islam will cover the entire world. Of course, there will be big problems with Christianity, especially with Orthodoxy. But they will settle it. This is what the Torah says.

Question: What about us? Will we be able to handle it?

Answer: When they come up against us, they will become ill. But first they will conquer Europe.

When Will Terrorism Come To An End?

Laitman_408Question: Recently, IDF soldiers recently killed the military commander in the Gaza Strip. Consequently, the Palestinians are threatening to retaliate with acts of terror saying that they will not leave us alone. How long can this go on?

Answer: This will continue until the nation of Israel begins to fulfill its historical mission.

We have the method of correction for all of humanity and our role is to bring it to the best and highest state, but we are not fulfilling it and so we invoke all these negative forces of nature.

Question: Are you promising that all this will stop, that our enemies will disappear and turn into our friends, if we begin to fulfill our mission?

Answer: That’s the only way. What is more, everyone will help us. Hamas and its military commanders will come and say: “Tell us what we should do.”

Theresa May, Anti-Semitism, and Europe

laitman_426 In the News (YNet News): “LONDON – British Prime Minister Theresa May delivered a staunchly pro-Israel speech Monday during which she declared her government’s unwavering support for Israel, proclaimed her unequivocal opposition to boycotts and reiterated her commitment to expunging anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial from British society.”

Answer: I have no illusions about Theresa May and the British, both in the past and in the present. They burned Jews in their synagogues. I’ve seen all these places.

We must accept the fact that nature affects everyone: by their anti-Semitism, they affect us because we are “stiff-necked people,” that is, stubborn and unwilling to correct ourselves.

For Theresa May, it is only a political move in order to relate numerous problems to Europe. She says: “We support Israel, we are against all polls,” in order to counter Europe, which voted for anti-Israel UN proposals.

So, there is nothing new here, it’s pure politics. The British are widely known as good politicians. But internally, they have not changed, of course. Moreover, they are unable to change. They can be changed only by the people of Israel if it begins to fulfill its historical mission.

Blessings For Great Victory Day!

laitman_539Dear Friends,

The great holiday of May 9 is a special date for us. This is the day of the great victory over the most evil forces in the history of humanity. The same forces that wanted to enslave the world tried to accommodate their religion to the policies that were introduced by them. A terrible darkness enveloped Europe and didn’t let any one of the peoples live.

We must not forget it. We must celebrate the day of victory every year. It is not important if it is celebrated in different nations at different times as the date of freedom for every nation from slavery. May 9 is a big holiday for us. We hope that we understand what the evil forces celebrate in our world, how the people of Israel exactly can limit and isolate them from humanity and make a happy, secure, and safe future. This depends only on us. So for us May 9 is not just the day of the end of a great and terrible war, but also a reminder that it is up to us to prevent future wars. And this is in our power, the wisdom of Kabbalah makes this possible for us. It is only up to us to learn the method and to realize it in life.

I wish for all of you a good mood, success and happiness! Together with this, don’t forget that today we are facing the same problems that also existed many years ago and it is up to us to solve them quickly. All this begins from tomorrow but for today, I bless everyone on the great May 9 holiday!

New Life 662 – Extremism Or Mutual Complementation
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Instead of arguments between the left and the right wings, we need to learn where nature is leading us. The solution must include everyone. We connect above our personal views, and the more they differ, the more intense and more qualitative the connection between them is.

New Life 661 – Stability Versus Revolution
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

We are living in a world of opposites: Liberals versus conservatives, innovation versus stability. If we don’t know what to do, it is better not to do anything.

New Life 659 – Unity Between Right And Left
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Yael Leshed-Harel

The need to define ourselves as members of the right or left wings of the political map is part of our development as human beings. There is a constant struggle all over the world between the right and the left parties. We must not destroy either side; we must find a way to combine and connect the two without letting either side control the other.

New Life 657 – The Split Between Right And Left

New Life 657 – The Split Between Right And Left
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

There are two forces in nature: reception and giving. The wisdom of Kabbalah is the method for balance between these two forces. Essentially, there are two general rules: “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18) and “What is hateful to you, do not do to your friend” (Shabbat 31a).

New Life 658 – Beyond Right And Left

New Life 658 – Beyond Right And Left
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe

Today both the right and the left are capitalistic approaches. Only after we learn how the system of nature is constructed, how the left and the right are integrated and how the balance between them develops life ahead, can we prosper.
