Will war break out tomorrow? A few months ago, a number of mekubalim, headed by the one of the leading rabbonim of Breslav, Rav Eliezer Berland, predicted that on the 22nd of Av war would break out with Israel.
They exhorted the public to daven to avert the war.
The 22nd of Av is tomorrow (tonight). Will war break out or did we successfully avert the decree with our intense prayer? You might still want to adjust your schedule for tomorrow to take into account the coming outbreak of hostilities/
Only time will tell, and not all that much time at that..
Check the blog tomorrow to find out if we are at war or not. Life in Israel will have live updates of the outbreak, or lack of outbreak, of war.
if war does break out i daresay that the good rabbi will be the hottest item this summer. i mean, think of the possibilities. he could tell us if chelsea and her steady will stay together.

ReplyDelete"Will war break out or did we successfully avert the decree with our intense prayer?"
ReplyDeletewell, that accounts for two of the three possibilities.
:)
Josh - if you read it with the slight cynical tone in which it was written, it accounts for the third as well..

Prayer? Daven?

ah. my bad.
ReplyDeleteRafi,
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is actually a mekubal(aspiring) and who has spent considerable time around real Mekubalim, who never go around making these wacky pronouncements, I ask you from the bottom of my heart to stop giving these...(you fill in the blank)... the respect that they don't deserve with what should be a rather esteemed title.
slight cynical tone?
ReplyDeleteit's dripping all over my desk.
I didnt give the title, just using the title given to them by others...
