The End Of America: Sink or Swim

by Tamar Yonah

The new school year and other obligations are keeping this mom busy, but I did get something interesting in my inbox and wanted to share it with you even though I don't have time to write a lengthier piece here to accompany these videos.  I am NOT happy to hear and report these dismal predictions about the end of America, however, I think it is important to listen, examine it, and make some decisions.

From an email I received:
"Russian Professor Igor Panarin says that events are continuing to confirm his doomsday prediction first made over 10 years ago, that the U.S. completely collapse like the Soviet Union before the end of 2010 & warns that the chaos could begin to unfold in as little as 2 months. (Read more from this article at the Wall Street Journal  and see the video below)

America Able To Collapse By 2010, Or Even In As Little As Two Months
 
Also:

Sen. Jim Inhofe, [Republican from Oklahoma] "I've never seen an administration so determined to destroy America." And he added that he "hope(s) this country can hang on another 16 months."  Now, take a look at this awful, horrifying video of what some Americans wouldn't mind seeing in the future (pay attention to the map shown in the video).  Oy va voy!

The End Of America



In a New World Order where there will be a one world government, they need to wear away the sovereignty of nations, especially that of the USA where people are used to freedom, own personal weapons, and are financially strong.  The USA needs to be weakened and broken.  When they are, they will have to come begging to the UN/world/international community to be saved.  Then they will be absorbed into the bigger order of (weakened) nation states, and that will be the end of America as we knew it.

Every time a country's finances tank, it's always somehow blamed on the Jews.  And I am afraid it will be no different in America. Don't depend on the law or the constitution to protect you.  The constitution is only as strong as the people willing to defend it, and it looks like it has already been trampled to the ground by the last two American administrations.

Now, if the prediction about the end of America turns out to be true, the question now is, will you sit there and wait, clinging to the old way of life in denial, or will you rise to the occasion and bring your family back home from the Exile, to Israel, the Promised Land?

Will you sink in the 'galut' (Diasporah) or will you sail off to your Jewish destiny, to the soil where your forefathers lived and are buried, to the land where our history is and where our kings reigned, and to the land where our future awaits us?

Don't be like our ancestors were in Europe. We were in denial, we had a much longer history in Europe than we do in the USA, and the Jews did not see the 'house on fire' there either.  They needed to swim, to make a physical action and flee from that sea of hatred to the Land of Israel and be saved and build a new future.

And now it is your choice.  You can open your eyes and see the blaze or you can close your eyes and continue by rote.  You can go to:  www.NbN.org.il  or you can write a nasty talk back here and make yourselves feel better.  Essentially, it comes down to this:  sink, or swim.

Obama & The Re-Making of America

by Tamar Yonah

So many things to write about and so little time.  Well, here's some things I've been saving up for you to watch, some funny, some definitely not.  It's a lot to watch, so I won't bog down this blog post with too much text.

Batman meets the Joker:

 

 

 

And here's a youtube video that has gone viral, a dog who won't take any treats from Obama.

 
And this piece was done by one of our listeners David E. about Obama's seemingly lack of respect for state sovereignty.
 
 

And look at this news item below...

Obama Blesses Muslim World on Ramadan

(IsraelNN.com) US President Barak Obama blessed the Muslim world on Saturday to mark the beginning of the Muslim Ramadan festival.

In the special address he reiterrated his support for a "Palestinian state" and said it would allow Israel and Arabs to live in "peace and security". Obama also said that the Ramadan rituals "remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

Well, so much for 'advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings'.  This video below came into my inbox tonight, poor girl!

Jew In The City: The Intimate Life of a Jewish Woman

by Tamar Yonah


How do religious Jews date? Why do married Jewish women cover their hair? Why can't a married couple touch each other during certain times of the month?

Ever wonder what it's like to live the life of a religious Jewish woman?  I interviewed Allison Jospehs today from 'Jew In The City' , a website that answers questions about Jewish lifestyles and explains why Jews do the things they do in religious observance.  

From her website: Some have called her an Orthodox Carrie Bradshaw. Others say that she's the next Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis. Allison Josephs (a.k.a. Jew in the City) doesn't focus much on comparisons, she simply wants to re-brand Orthodox Jews and Judaism. Both have gotten a very negative reputation over the years due to isolated scandals that have made the headlines as well as movies, books, and TV shows that have repeated and reinforced misconceptions and stereotypes about religious Jewish people and their lifestyles. (The hole in the sheet, anyone?)

Allison's website, Jew In The City lets her answer your questions about intimacy, modesty, holiness, and the inner goings-on of a Jewish woman.  Allison has also written, directed, and produced several videos for Aish.com and is a regular blogger on ModestlyYours.net. Her articles and blogs have appeared in The Washington Times, World Jewish Digest, Aish.com, and The Jewish Star.  She is also the Torah study partner for  Mayim Bialik, the actress who is famous for her 5 year run show called, 'Blossom". Bialik is finding her path towards observant Judaism as documented in this interview.  Here's one of Allison's videos below with a guest appearance from Bialik. It's cute and it's educational and you can watch more from Allison's site.

Listen to my interview with her this morning.  And since we are on the topic of educational videos, I have been saving this one for some time now, and though it's a little long, I absolutely LOVED it.  If you are a parent, stick with this one, it's worth it.
