AddReply(204550,"Definitive answer to 32","Yoni","Earth","05/24/07","Shalom 32, you obviously haven\'t read the book. Days of Mashiach is the most hilarious fiction book I have read. It is a collection of charming short stories that made me laugh outloud more times than any book I\'ve read in the last few years. Your question assumes that the book is a non-fiction Torah work. Totally wrong! Buy the book and read it. Anyone who is a bit familiar with Israeli society will laugh his way thru this piece. By the way, where can you get it on the net?");

AddReply(204247,"answer of 32 is","32","to 34","05/22/07","that I was just asking so you or Tzvi cud answer and tell about his book.\nIf the book has nothing to do with Mashiach than you are right, but if it tells the Jewish life in the time of the Mashiach yu are wrong because Mashiach has no time. He said that he is coming \"Today\" and that means that he was there all the time  and he does no need to come.\nHe is there waitinng for the blind to see and the deaf to listen.But can that happen?\nNever. So Mashiach will come never, because he is there waiting for those who will never come, see, listen inclueding here those inside the Jewish life or outside it. And there is no life wwithout Mashiach, so for what life are you talking about, the life in the East or that in the West.\nAren\'t they in the same Kingdom, the Darkness, the Night. When people see the Light, the Sun on top of their head waiting, than they will live, see the Day and Mashiach, than there will understand what the Day of Moshiach means. Now they dont,because they are like sheeps and goats who are all blind, the one who leads and the other who follow, the one on the left and the other on the right, one who slepps and the one who is awake.The blind can not see the Light, and the Light is Mashiach. So what are youu talking about nonsense about Mashiach and life.Can there be life without Light? There is no life really and there will never be, because the human sheeps will never see and listen their Shepard. They call and ask their shepard when are you coming. He asnwers \' Now\". Why does he answer like that? Because he knows that the sheeps are blind and they can not see him, sitting there and watching his blind sheeps .");

AddReply(204165,"A Big Question for Tzvi Fishman","anyone","somewhere","05/22/07","\"Days of Mashiach\" by Tzvi Fishman \nis a book that you can by now in the Internet. Question is how can Tzvi knows what only G-d does, about the Days of Mashiach. It looks like blasfemy to talk about something which only G-d knows; the day,time or place of the coming of Mashiach.\nIf you Tzvi or others writte about the Mashiach\'s Days in one way and in fact will happen in other way, than there will be a big problem, because the people will believe Tzvi and not Mashiach when he shows. People will tell to Mashiach we dont believe you because Tzvi told us that you will not come at night but at day and you will have a black hat and not a red one, you will have a long beard and not a short one, you will wear kosher cloths and not T shirt & jeans, you will come from East and not from West, you will be inside and not outside Israel etc ect.\nSo Tzvi what will Mashiach say to them than if you did tell to people a different story about his coming?\nWill Mashiach be angry with you Tzvi? Will you believe him or you will believe the Mashiach of your book?");

He has both the West and East life, white and black and he must look, attach to the centre point, which is that all come from G-d.But that\'s not enough, because Tzvi has a mission to finish, for which all the long story has happened. What is that? The future will show. Tzvi will attach really to G-d, but now is still is not there even if he think that he is. Remember Tzvi that the so called two oppostes are just two hands of the same G-d. Tzvi was in one Hand and than he jump to the other hand. So to Tzvi these two Hands are not united but separated. You have to be in both of them to understand and be really attached Tzvi. You are now only in one Hand and blaming the other where you were bleding. For some other people the attach by moving can be other way around.

He called me up right away, saying that he loved the book, and so did his father, the head of the agency, who had a lot of clout in the publishing world. “But it is too Jewish,” he said. “You will have to rewrite it in order to tone it down.” Can you imagine a literary agent telling James Clavell that his newest novel about Japan is too Japanese? When I protested, he said, “Look, the heads of all the big publishing houses are Jews with very liberal views, and they are not going to publish a book whose hero wants to settle the Land of Israel and chase the Arabs out. They will all be afraid of what the gentiles will say.” A Jew can be a hero in a novel when the goyim are beating him over the head, but when a Jew stands up and fights back like Tuvia - forget it.
