 The 36 Aphorisms of the Baal Shem Tov        Read

 

  • Everything is by Divine Providence. If a leaf is turned over by a breeze, it is only because this has been specifically ordained by G‑d to serve a particular function within the purpose of creation.
  • Every single thing that a person sees or hears, is an instruction to him in his conduct in the service of G‑d.
  • Your fellow is your mirror. If your own face is clean, so will be the image you perceive. But should you look upon your fellow and see a blemish, it is your own imperfection that you are encountering – you are being shown what it is that you must correct within yourself.
  • Our Sages have said that “Slander kills all three” – the subject of the slander, the one who relates it, and the listener. This is all in spiritual terms, which is more severe than physical murder.

Israel flagVLA COMMENT:  Our website has been hacked several times.  I found it really disturbing that DEFAMATION had been scrubbed.  Obviously it is a very important film that certain organization do not want you to see. However, I have found a link to watching for FREE

This is a riveting documentary film by an Israeli director mistakenly welcomed (in retrospect) in by Abe Foxman (Anti-defamation league) into the inner offices. Israeli director Yoav Shamir (Checkpoint, 5 Days, Flipping Out) eventually finds out who???is the main organization & country that is propagating antisemitism today!    This is an eye opener!

The other side of the argument

VLA comment: We have no opinion on the historical facts of the Jewish holocaust.  However, we posted this article in light of DEFAMATION having been hacked out of our site.
