Psalm 50:16
"And to the wicked G-d says What is it for you to relate My Decrees?" -Get out of here and cease to be. You know better than to cricket and Chassle my vineyards H'F'
Isaiah 55:1-3
ה֤וֹי כׇּל־צָמֵא֙ לְכ֣וּ לַמַּ֔יִם וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽין־ל֖וֹ כָּ֑סֶף לְכ֤וּ שִׁבְרוּ֙ וֶאֱכֹ֔לוּ וּלְכ֣וּ שִׁבְר֗וּ בְּלוֹא־כֶ֛סֶף וּבְל֥וֹא מְחִ֖יר יַ֥יִן וְחָלָֽב׃
Ho, all who are thirsty,
Come for water,
Even if you have no money;
Come, buy food and eat:
Buy grain without money,
Wine and milk without cost.
לָ֤מָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ־כֶ֙סֶף֙ בְּלוֹא־לֶ֔חֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶ֖ם בְּל֣וֹא לְשׇׂבְעָ֑ה שִׁמְע֨וּ שָׁמ֤וֹעַ אֵלַי֙ וְאִכְלוּ־ט֔וֹב וְתִתְעַנַּ֥ג בַּדֶּ֖שֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃
Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
Your earnings for what does not satisfy?
Give heed to Me,
And you shall eat choice food
And delight in the fat, honorable gift of your bodies/souls.
הַטּ֤וּ אׇזְנְכֶם֙ וּלְכ֣וּ אֵלַ֔י שִׁמְע֖וּ וּתְחִ֣י נַפְשְׁכֶ֑ם וְאֶכְרְתָ֤ה לָכֶם֙ בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָ֔ם חַֽסְדֵ֥י דָוִ֖ד הַנֶּאֱמָנִֽים׃
Incline your ear and come to Me;
Hearken, and your bodies shall be revived.
And I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
The enduring loyalty promised to David.
53:1
מִ֥י הֶֽאֱמִ֖ין לִשְׁמֻֽעָתֵ֑נוּ וּזְר֥וֹעַ יְהֹוָ֖ה עַל־מִ֥י נִגְלָֽתָה
Who would have believed our report, and the Arm of HaShem, upon who it is revealed?

Bereisheit 2:5
וְכֹ֣ל ׀ שִׂ֣יחַ הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה טֶ֚רֶם יִֽהְיֶ֣ה בָאָ֔רֶץ וְכׇל־עֵ֥שֶׂב הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה טֶ֣רֶם יִצְמָ֑ח כִּי֩ לֹ֨א הִמְטִ֜יר יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאָדָ֣ם אַ֔יִן לַֽעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃
When no shrub of the field was yet on earth and no grasses of the field had yet sprouted, because God יהוה had not sent rain upon the earth and there were no human beings to till the soil, (JPS '06)
Instead see the face (there are at least 70 faces to the Torah) that this is another Mussar lesson that although man may exert himself exceedingly, even in Torah (as Pirkei Avot says if you know much Torah it was not for your sake but HaShem inspired you), all of the credit for success goes to HaShem..
"And all of the shrubs/herbs [spiritually smaller people] had not yet come to life [from their sleep in the underworld 'Nor can all those who descend to silence (praise You)-Tehillim']. Indeed, if it were not for HaShem Elokim [bringing] the rain [Torah and inspiration to study Her] and Adam (the highest title of Jewish man, the tree) [is/would be] nothing (Ayin) to serve the land, (He had no eye for Torah, "Ain Ayin", as Rashi says the eyes can represent one's desires)"
Or
Adam would be hooked on (Vav is a hook and the 6 orders of the Mishnah, the explanation of the Written Torah containing the sweet honeys of Kabbalah clothed within) nothing to serve the land (how could he catch fish and trap game [convert people] with no hook?) How could HaShem hook Adam on loving His Creation without the brains behind It [Torah, the Will and Wisdom of HaShem]
Or
He could never hook Adam (rebuke Him with His Rod) without bringing the rain (giving Torah, Instruction)
If He were to hook Adam without first giving Instruction, Adam would spiritually die and be Aiyn, nothing Heaven forbid.
The Salvation you are looking for:
Yeshayahu Isaiah 65:15
וְהִנַּחְתֶּ֨ם שִׁמְכֶ֚ם לִשְׁבוּעָה֙ לִבְחִירַ֔י וֶֽהֱמִֽיתְךָ֖ אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֑ה וְלַֽעֲבָדָ֥יו יִקְרָ֖א שֵׁ֥ם אַחֵֽר
And your names will be pleasant/be put to rest to an oath/curse to My Elect Ones: And slay you, Adonaiy Eloheem. And to His Servants He will call a different name.
Or if you are unsure just say "And The Lord Our God slay you!"
An eternal death - Rashi
Why? The heathen are trying to spiritually kill you (get you to forsake G-d Heaven forbid) that is infinitely worse than a physical death since you would have lived forever in Heaven or "rolled" (reincarnated and had another chance). When the heathen trap and kill righteous people, that person consumes all of their merit and ceases to be after death G-d save us!
Tehillim/Psalms 118:10
כׇּל־גּוֹיִ֥ם סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃
All nations surround me;
with the Name of The LORD I will surely cut them down.
Therefore it is written Deut 19:21
וְלֹ֥א תָח֖וֹס עֵינֶ֑ךָ נֶ֣פֶשׁ בְּנֶ֗פֶשׁ עַ֤יִן בְּעַ֙יִן֙ שֵׁ֣ן בְּשֵׁ֔ן יָ֥ד בְּיָ֖ד רֶ֥גֶל בְּרָֽגֶל׃
And your eye shall not pity: life for life [soul for soul], eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot [the monetary value unless they are actively pursuing you or are liable for a capital sin]."
Now please! You have been trapped by the covenant of the lips (Talmud/Gemara) by the kingdom of evil to speak negative things. It is of utmost importance to immediately free yourself by speaking Genesis 17:1 "I am the Almighty God, walk before Me and be perfect", or better yet "I Am The Lord your God who brings you forth from the land of Egypt to be your God. I Am The Lord your God" (Since this also fulfills the Mitzvah every day and night to remember the Exodus) - you will immediately become this and it will grow stronger over time granted no one traps you to contradict yourself or you stumble yourself with evil music or idle conversation
Perek Shira - Chapter of Song
נֶשֶׁר אוֹמֵר. וְאַתָּה יי אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָקִיצָה לִפְקֹד כָּל הַגּוֹיִם אַל תָּחֹן כָּל בֹּגְדֵי אָוֶן סֶלָה: (תהילים נט ו)
The Eagle/Vulture is saying “And you, YHVH Elohim Tseva’ot, God of Yisra’el, awake/sicken yourself to punish all the nations; do not be gracious to any wicked traitors (or 'wearers of iniquitous clothing' like spandex that cause unfruitful emissions compared to World floods) Selah - Forever!”

How to Read Hebrew
א
Alef, like A but silent - pronounce only the vowel
ב
Beit or Veit with no Dagesh (small dot like a period in the middle)
Pronounced like B with the Dagesh or V without
ג
Gimmel - pronounced like G
ד
Dalet - like D
ה
Haey - like H
ו
Vav, pronounced like V.
However, it can be used as a vowel placeholder letter like Alef.
If it has a Dagesh above it, it is pronounced like "Oh".
If the dagesh is in the middle (on the left), it is pronounced "Oo".
ז
Zayin - like Z
ח
Chet - like clearing one's throat - "Cchhh"
ט
Tet - like a T
י
Yud - like a Y
כ
Caf/Chaf - with a Dagesh in it is pronounced like a C, without is like a Chet (Cchhh).
ל
Lamed - pronounced like an L
מ
Mem - like an M
נ
Nun - like an N
ס
Samech - like an S
ע
Ayin - silent like an Alef
פ
Peh/Feh - With a Dagesh is like P, without is like F
צ
Tzadi - like a "Tz" at the same time (no good English comparison)
ק
Kuf - like a K
ר
Reish - like an R
ש
Shin/Sin - like a "Shh" if the Dagesh is on the top right, if left, like an S
ת
Taf/Thaf - Like a T with a Dagesh or "Th" without (although only a few groups have maintained this. Ashkenazim said "S" [definitely don't do that] and Sephardim kept both as "T")
Vowels (corresponding to the Sefirot in order. The vowels are like the "soul" of the "body", the letter):
בָ - Kamatz (Keter/Will/Crown/Pleasure/Desire) - like "Ah" (In this case that Veit would be pronounced, 'Vah')
בַ - Patach (ChochMah/Wisdom) - Like Kamatz but very slightly different, a little more of an "Aoh" but it varies by group. I think modern Hebrew pronounces it identically with Kamatz.
בֵ - Tzeireih (Binah/Understanding) - "Ay"
בֶ - Segol (Chesed/Kindness) - like "Eh", a soft "e"
בְ - Sh'va (Gevurah/Severity/Judgement) - usually a pause, but if difficult to pronounce or two in a row then it is like a Segol (the first one is a pause and second like a Segol).
בֹ - Cholam (Tiferet/Beauty/Truth) - like "Oh". It is usually used with a Vav and the letter before will have no vowel.
בִ - Chirik (Netzach/Victory) - like "ee"
בֻ - Kubutz/Shuruk (Hod) - "Oo"
בוּ - Milpum (Yesod) - "Oo" - same as Shuruk
No vowel is Malchut - Kingdom, Culmination, This World, Feminine
חֲ & חֳ- "Ah"
חֱ - "Eh"
Letters of Light, a great free book for Understanding on the Letters and Vowels (Vowels are at the bottom of the linked page)
You read right to left so for example הָאָ֔רֶץ
Ha-Ah-Reh-Tz
HaAretz, (Hay is a prefix, 'The'), - The Land
(the vowel on top of the Alef is "trope" commentary - how to properly chant the tune of the Torah since I copied and pasted it from a version of Torah from Sefaria)
Here is some basic information on the Trope commentary (*I don't know about accuracy since I was never really taught this yet)
Now you can highlight every individual word in Sefaria and begin memorizing the different root letters and their definitions with different vowelizations (Remember, Jastrow>BDB>Klein>Github). This will also help you increase in Understanding and Knowledge (through the correlations), and as the West loves to say, "Knowledge is Power"
If something doesn't come up it probably has a prefix or suffix and you need to highlight the root.
-
And slay you, My Masters Gods - Vehemeetcha Adonaiy Eloheem - In Hebrew - The first name is the name corresponding to the Sefirah - Divine Attribute of Malchut-Kingship, literally My Masters, and the second name is of Tiferet-Beauty, Truth YH-VH (This name is a combination of the past, present, and future tenses of existing, to be) - but is Ineffable so we say Eloheem - literally, Gods - the name of Gevurah-Judgement since the name of Malchut is usually used for it, but was just used
Rashi says on this verse this is an eternal death - if HaShem allowed it in your mouth do not go back on it even in thought even if they beg you. Rather say How can I bless when HaShem has cursed? Or just ignore them or wave at them if they haven't flown away yet
(like the movie Get Out different zombies' souls are constantly flying in and out of one body- although movies, dangerous sports, [and sports not for the sake of exercise - this is Bitul Torah - Negligence of Torah] and video games are prohibited as Shachak - dust/sport/mockery - unless they are educational but it will be hard to find a narrator that doesn't fall on us Heaven forbid - better to keep the sound off - also it is forbidden to watch animals mate)
-Also sports like baseball and golf seem like more of an evil speech 'social hour' waste of time that could have been spent getting real exercise in 1/10th of the time spent. They are also voodoo curses and blasphemies.
Alternatively you can wave your hands at them - never less than 4 fingers on a hand (a Tefach, handbreadth) this is sorcery - and if they have not given up on their donkeys yet (a metaphor for their bodies that shares the same root as clay that Adam was composed of - Chamor) it may be better to try to purify them by pushing them away lightly with the weak and and bringing them close strong or just with the right hand as both are included with a pure vessel/prop - a Torah, staff, cane, bag of fruit, large bottle of water (from Mishna Yadayim 1:1-4)
A Torah is most preferable as it is compared to the sea and you can purify the whole world (it is said that Adam was as big as the whole world...)- Also do not purify anyone that is not teeth (that has accepted you and isn't hurting you) unless they revert to idolatry after being purified - then you can plow them with the curse or by waving your hands like a bird has wings or a fish has fins
The Mishnah near the end of Berachot says that after we curse the rebels we say "Ain Olam Ela Echad" There is no Universe but One - I think this will help deter you from having to "pray all day" (curse them on repeat) - as in the verse Tehillim 107 "Oh that man would pray all day" since in their insane corrupted vomit filled minds they think that they can rebel against HaShem, essentially create a new universe that is not His Will and have peace - Aha!
One needs to make this Blessing before beginning Torah study every day:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ מִכָּל הָעַמִּים וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה
Blessed are You Adonai (My Masters) Our God King of the Universe Who has chosen us from all the peoples and has given to us His Torah. Blessed are You Adonai Who Gives The Torah
Dvarim 32:2
יַֽעֲרֹ֤ף כַּמָּטָר֙ לִקְחִ֔י תִּזַּ֥ל כַּטַּ֖ל אִמְרָתִ֑י כִּשְׂעִירִ֣ם עֲלֵי־דֶ֔שֶׁא וְכִרְבִיבִ֖ים עֲלֵי־עֵֽשֶׂב
My lesson will drip like rain; my word will flow like dew; like storm winds on vegetation and like raindrops on grass.
Rashi: like dew that everyone rejoices in and does not anguish people, and like storm winds that knock dead limbs off trees (Torah scholars) and promote growth
Also it is forbidden to study Torah in a restroom or near foul smelling filth/feces/urine unless it is covered and not touching you (urine can be touching you under your pants)
Why? Out of respect to HaShem and His Children - HaShem, Torah, and The Jewish People are One - Zohar
I - אנכי
'
Oh! I pray - אנא
My Soul - נפשי
In Writing - כתבית
Is Given -יהבית
From the Gemara-Talmud
See that Yehavit is close to Zahavit - Is Golden
--
Dvarim-Deutoronomy 33:2
מִֽימִינ֕וֹ אֵ֥שׁ דָּ֖ת (כתיב אשדת) לָֽמוֹ
"From His Right is a FireLaw (AyshDat) to them" - the proper name of the Torah
Dat can also mean logic or religion - the logic behind why Heaven burns us that we can save ourselves with. It can also be novelized Da'at, Knowledge (a Quasi-Sefirah of ChochMah and Binah, like the "Child" of the "Father" [Wisdom] and "Mother" [Understanding] - in other words, how to apply our understandings of Torah)
Also see that Aysh can be novelized as Eish - man or master. Become a master of knowledge/logic through His Torah. Be like a fire constantly ascending upwards and providing light, always burning anyone that touches you wrongly immediately
33:3
אַ֚ף חֹבֵ֣ב עַמִּ֔ים
Even a lover of the peoples
32:5
שִׁחֵ֥ת ל֛וֹ לֹ֖א בָּנָ֣יו מוּמָ֑ם
"Destruction/corruption to Him is not, the blemish is His children's."
Or, "Destruction is to Him, not His children (to destroy) - that is a blemish"
--
Zohar Bereisheit 11a
Come and see how powerful is the might of the Torah, and how high it rises above all. Because whoever conducts his life according to the Torah has no fear of those Above or below, and all the mishaps or illnesses of this world do not concern him. Through the Torah, one is connected to the Tree of Life [which is Tiferet, the source of the Torah] and learns from it every day.
Bereisheit Genesis 3:22
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֗ים הֵ֤ן הָֽאָדָם֙ הָיָה֙ כְּאַחַ֣ד מִמֶּ֔נּוּ לָדַ֖עַת ט֣וֹב וָרָ֑ע וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ פֶּן־יִשְׁלַ֣ח יָד֗וֹ וְלָקַח֙ גַּ֚ם מֵעֵ֣ץ הַֽחַיִּ֔ים וְאָכַ֖ל וָחַ֥י לְעֹלָֽם׃
And God יהוה said, “Now that the man has become like The Unique One among Us, knowing good and bad [after eating from the Tree of Knowledge - also after heathen have relations with the Sat-ns and get exposed to the Applications of how Torah applies to us - Knowledge/Daat - without having earned it themselves and building strength), and now, lest he stretch out a hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat, and live forever!”
Never stop meditating on your Torah (that you have acquired) and you will never die. Ash-medai was able to kill David HaMelech by distracting him for a split second from his Torah study (Gemara).
The Gemara-Talmud says and repeats THERE IS A COVENANT WITH THE LIPS
Bereisheit Genesis 25:27
וַֽיִּגְדְּלוּ֙ הַנְּעָרִ֔ים וַיְהִ֣י עֵשָׂ֗ו אִ֛ישׁ יֹדֵ֥עַ צַ֖יִד אִ֣ישׁ שָׂדֶ֑ה
And it was - Esau was a master of knowledge of trapping - a man/master of the field. (Esau was notoriously wicked, so much that the family had to hide Rivkah's [Rebecca's] funeral so people would not come and disrespect her for giving birth to Esau)
A field is made up on fallen plant parts and animal feces - Sat-nists that have spiritually "died" - Gemara Berachot says the wicked are called dead. They trap us and cause death through this covenant with the lips - by getting us to say evil things Shamayim Assur! Heaven Forbid!
It is known that there are 70 Faces to the Torah
Chabad Yeshayahu-Isaiah 18:1
ה֥וֹי אֶ֖רֶץ צִלְצַ֣ל כְּנָפָ֑יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר מֵעֵ֖בֶר לְנַֽהֲרֵי־כֽוּש
Woe to the land shaded by wings, which is on the other side of the rivers of Cush.
Other faces: Woe to the land of the treacherous screeching wing spearing fish harpooning flying crickets that is from impregnating the kings (Rashi says rivers are a metaphor for kings) of Cush (Africa).
Or, from "male membering" the African kings. As in, for taking tons of large slave ships across the Atlantic and stuffing Africans full of them in deadly torturous conditions.
For example, the sages teach "One who acquires a slave acquires a master" since you have to constantly make sure their needs are met and they are in good health. One has to make sure his/her slaves and animals have food before one can eat since it is easy to neglect them after being sated.
Our possessions are an extension of ourselves (since we are responsible for them and damage they cause H'F') so it is a look at how their "parent trees" viewed themselves, and "the seed doesn't fall from from the tree"
-Sorry I thought I had posted this face before but it seems it was conspired against H'F'
(***Obviously every dark skinned person is not automatically evil and we do not recall the sins of parents on righteous people [Cham, the patriarch of Africa, castrated and raped Noach our father for more power since there would be less peoples, and another face is 'for forgiving the sin of'], only wicked. This is talking about the gangsters that would devour the family and possessions of a G-d fearing person like a cricket swarm H'F' were it not for the fear of the government, and also that make "trap" music to kill souls H'F')
רַבִּי חֲנִינָא סְגַן הַכֹּהֲנִים אוֹמֵר, הֱוֵי מִתְפַּלֵּל בִּשְׁלוֹמָהּ שֶׁל מַלְכוּת, שֶׁאִלְמָלֵא מוֹרָאָהּ, אִישׁ אֶת רֵעֵהוּ חַיִּים בְּלָעוֹ. רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶן תְּרַדְיוֹן אוֹמֵר, שְׁנַיִם שֶׁיּוֹשְׁבִין וְאֵין בֵּינֵיהֶן דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מוֹשַׁב לֵצִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים א) וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָׁב. אֲבָל שְׁנַיִם שֶׁיּוֹשְׁבִין וְיֵשׁ בֵּינֵיהֶם דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה, שְׁכִינָה שְׁרוּיָה בֵינֵיהֶם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (מלאכי ג) אָז נִדְבְּרוּ יִרְאֵי יְיָ אִישׁ אֶל רֵעֵהוּ וַיַּקְשֵׁב יְיָ וַיִּשְׁמָע וַיִּכָּתֵב סֵפֶר זִכָּרוֹן לְפָנָיו לְיִרְאֵי יְיָ וּלְחֹשְׁבֵי שְׁמוֹ.
--->Rabbi Hanina, the vice-high priest said: pray for the welfare of the government, for were it not for the fear it inspires, every man would swallow his neighbor alive.
R. Hananiah ben Teradion said: if two sit together and there are no words of Torah [spoken] between them, then this is a session of scorners, as it is said: “nor sat he in the seat of the scornful…[rather, the teaching of the Lord is his delight]” (Psalms 1:1); but if two sit together and there are words of Torah [spoken] between them, then the Shekhinah abides among them, as it is said: “then they that feared the Lord spoke one with another; and the Lord hearkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him, for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon His name” (Malachi 3:16).
Devarim 28:42
כׇּל־עֵצְךָ֖ וּפְרִ֣י אַדְמָתֶ֑ךָ יְיָרֵ֖שׁ הַצְּלָצַֽל׃
The cricket shall take over all the trees and produce of your land.
When the upright westerners started singing along to rap music the entire West became vile overly licentious wicked dogs pursuing money and sex and murdering people like the gangsters rapped about
Therefore it is necessary to immediately cleanse yourself of these evil covenants by saying
Ani Ay-l Sh-adai.
As in the verse in Bereisheit/Genesis "I am The Almighty G-d. Walk before Me and be perfect" or another similar verse.
Proverbs Eishet Chayil - The last chapter that was not written by Ash-medai (the firstborn of Death and King of Demons who displaced shlomo after he gave his strength to idolatrous women) but rather was a prophecy from Baat Sheva
"She girds her loins and strengthens her arms" (This Proverb also gives insight to men as we are all considered HaShem's "wives")
There are three opinions in the Mishnah on when a sapling is considered a tree - a metaphor for a Torah scholar that's body, trunk, compared to Torah study, does not wither in the cold like a vegetable, flower or grasses.
The first is that when it is permitted for public use - when people eat from his/her fruits
The second is at a "daughter of seven" "Bat Sheva" - When he/she has been religious and submissive to The Master - HaShem and His Torah for 7 years.
The last opinion according to Rabbi Akiva is "Like its name"
Tzafoniah 3:9
כִּי־אָ֛ז אֶהְפֹּ֥ךְ אֶל־עַמִּ֖ים שָׂפָ֣ה בְרוּרָ֑ה לִקְרֹ֚א כֻלָּם֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָ֔ה לְעָבְד֖וֹ שְׁכֶ֥ם אֶחָד:
Indeed then I will change the peoples to pure lips to call, all of them, in The Name of HaShem to worship as one
Sforno says on Bereisheit-Genesis 2:19 when Adam names all the animals that one's name is alluding to his/her essence and Divine Service
The quickest way to increase your spiritual level is to get out of your impure names and name yourself after someone holy like Avraham Yitzhak or Yaakov or other Prophets from Torah (All names even middle names) - or create a holy name that cannot be novelized for evil that includes one of HaShem's names - HaShem tells us in Shemot-Exodus In every place I allow a remembrance of My Name I will bless you
Yah - Wisdom/ChochMah - Yud and Binah/Understanding - the Hay - the two halves of the brain - ChizkiYah - My strength is Yah or I strengthen Yah - HaShem wanted to make ChizkiYah the Mashiach
Yo or Yeho (Part of the ineffable 4 letter name associated with Tiferet/Beauty) as in YoNatan - G-d has given, or YehoShafat - G-d is Judge - This is part of the ineffable 4 letter name of Tiferet YH-VH
Ayl - G-d - His name associated with the attribute of Chesed - Kindness - YechezkiAyl, AyliYah or AyliShadai
Shalom - Peace - The Mishnah says HaShem found no better blessing for His People than Peace
See here in Mishnah Oktzin 3:12
https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Oktzin.3.12?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en
I plan on hopefully naming my firstborn son this (that I actually get to raise and that listens to me) based on the verse about Pinchas
BaMidbar - Numbers 25:11-12
בְּקַנְא֥וֹ אֶת־קִנְאָתִ֖י בְּתוֹכָ֑ם וְלֹא־כִלִּ֥יתִי אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּקִנְאָתִֽי׃
Pinchas son of Elazar son of Aharon the priest
has turned my venomous-anger from the Children of Israel
in his being zealous with my zealous-rage in their midst,
so that I did not destroy the Children of Israel in my zealous-rage.
(Rashi says on BeKano Et Kinati - His zealousness is the zealousness I (HaShem) should have displayed about the abominable orgy)
לָכֵ֖ן אֱמֹ֑ר הִנְנִ֨י נֹתֵ֥ן ל֛וֹ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלֽוֹם׃
Therefore I say behold, I gave him (literally Natan) to him is everything, Alef-Taf - My Covenant of Peace
Baruch - Blessing - When we make a blessing on studying Torah, eating, incense, or Mitzvot, we say Baruch Atah HaShem - Blessing are You, HaShem
There are many examples throughout history of righteous sages with varying names we can choose from just please do not leave yourself clothed in impurity by calling yourself something of an impure tongue and do not choose anyone questionable
The Gemara says the name we call ourselves is greater than the name our friends call us that is greater than the name our parents gave us, so you will see this effect immediately.
Also my FaceBook has novelties I didn't bother to put on the Google Doc
https://www.facebook.com/NatanAyliYaHuHarShadai/ - Beware of images! You can get an image blocker on Chrome but on my page you will need to see the screenshots I took of Torah but it should be all safe, otherwise just cull the crickets like I have taught according to Yeshayahu
Chabad has published Rabbi Aharon Raskin's amazing book Letters of Light to easily gain insight on the Hebrew Letters and Vowels that correspond to Sefirot

כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהֹוָ֖ה רֹפְאֶֽךָ
Ani HaShem Rofecha
I am The Lord, your Physician/Healer
Shemot-Exodus 15:26
Indeed (through puking on you - Ci indeed is close to Ki -puke) I am HaShem your Physician/Healer
By destroying the heathen souls with this curse (in Yeshayahu) we act as HaShem’s physicians
Indeed (from the puke - Ki with a Kuf Yud and Alef) I, HaShem, am Your Physician (As well as our own physicians)
Dust causes sicknesses
Beware the strange dust that flies around you are electronic drones that speak and electrocute us - The Arizal says to pour a little liquid out before drinking and if you find a large witch hair burn it - she might have incarnated in it
Israel and the West are compared to crickets as shown by Yeshayahu 18 since they devour our produce - steal our thoughts etc and are loud and vile. Their song according to Perek Shira (some attribute to Adam himself, some attribute to the Sages of the Mishnah, and other to David HaMelech)
צִפֹּרֶת כְּרָמִים אוֹמֶרֶת. אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֵל הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי: (תהילים קכא א)
Perek Shira Locust of the vineyard
Sefaria translation: “I lift my eyes up to the mountains, wherefrom shall my help come?”
Artscroll says the Gemara says this is a Kosher species of locust - although I've read that the only reason HaShem made some species of locust kosher is because they devour ones fruits of the field so that is the only thing left - eat them or they eat us.
The Mishnah in Berachot says that when salted foods come before Matzah/bread, we do not bless on the Matzah/bread as the salted foods are predominant. Apparently the Sefardim that still eat locust pickle/brine them.
Another face: I uplift my eyes for G-d’s sake by becoming one of the mountains - Great Torah scholars - because there were no other men available - Miyain - from nothing my help came - Pirkei Avot - In a place where there are no men strive to be a man
Alternative ending: From the wellspring/eye/vision of Yaakov - Ayin Yaakov of My help comes - MiAytz - from The Tree of Life - Torah
Another face:
I lift my eyes/wellsprings above the mountains (a parable for the gods and kings of the nations - Aylim - Mighty Ones). Since I am connected to Torah and HaShem all day and night, I know out of nothing He will save me from any negative thing
Another face: MeyLavan - From the waters of Lavan my help comes who has the GilAid (See Yaakov and Lavan’s departing covenant in Bereishet/Genesis that is in secret/thought - mound of rolling souls that were once rubbish that fell on me and have “rolled” - reincarnations are called Gilgullim - rollings - instead of despaired of their existences - Gal is also to rejoice
Another face: I lift my eyes up to HaShem (in Perek Shira it is vowelized with a Tzeireh exactly like HaShem’s name Ayl) also Al with an Ayin-upon the mountains. I am reminded by The infinite Heavens (Song of the Heavens - שָׁמַיִם אוֹמְרִים: הַשָּׁמַיִם מְסַפְּרִים כְּבוֹד אֵל וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו מַגִּיד הָרָקִיעַ: (תהילים יט ב
The Heavens relate (closed to Sapir sapphire) the glory of Ayl and the works of His Hands speaks/preaches (a maggid is a guide) the firmament/sky
That HaShem is infinite and Omnipotent and can save me at any millisecond from nothing
The Kamatz is similar to Keitz - ending and represents Keter the Crown and highest Sefirah - also the right thumb and big toe - Pure desire for only good and kindness
I learned a Midrash in Hadar HaTorah from Rabbi Aharon Efraim that Keitz-Kuf Tzadi is used to describe the end of Yosef’s imprisonment that came “from nothing” - he had no end in sight and Pharoah miraculously had the dream that lead to his servant remembering Yosef could read dreams. Keitz is also used to describe redemption or at least a way it can come - “from nothing (out of nowhere) my help comes”
Another face: Esa Eynei - Eish Alef Aynai - My eyes burn for HaShem -Alef- for being engaged in His Words of Torah - compared to fire -all day and learning the explanations and mysteries within from His Children - The mountains - from there my help comes
Another face: I lift my eyes to HaShem - (Whose Presence is on) The Mountains - Mount Sinai and Mount Zion in YiruShalayim - (That is) from where my help will come!
A novelty on Mount Sinai Har Sinai close to Charam Sinah - Burning/perforating Sineh- Thornbush - As The Baal Shem Tov says HaShem originally appeared to Moshe as a burning thornbush since it is in the simple people where the thirst for HaShem is the greatest
Also Charam Sinat - Burning/perforating hatred - since originally “the thoughts of the heart of man are wicked from his youth” and we don’t feel like being HaShem’s slaves but when we consider His Kindnesses and Pleasures and what happens if we cast off His yoke - Heaven Save us! - and then that serving HaShem is actually a vessel for pleasure since it is more desirable to receive the pleasure of giving than receiving since we feel shame when being given something for free - HaShem giving us creation from nothing for free.
Another: Eishah Eiynaim - A woman's eyes - Ayl HeHarim - The greatest expression of HaShem on Earth! - From there my help will come - Chayya was said that she would be an Eizer - a helpmate to Adam opposite him - meaning she would reprove his faults
Obviously not if she is idolatrous teeth!!!!!
Why do the treacherous vineyard locusts blaspheme?
I lift my eyes (against or on top of) Ayl (HaShem) - Shamayim Assur - Heaven forbid!
Specifically HeHarim - His Mountains - Torah scholars that produce the most trees in equivalent square footage - The Arizal says Harim - mountains represent the desire to express oneself
Why?
From nothing my help comes
That’s what they say when they fall on us- complaining against Him for not saving them when they should have immersed in His Words of Fire -
YirmiYah 23:29
הֲל֨וֹא כֹ֧ה דְבָרִ֛י כָּאֵ֖שׁ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה וּכְפַטִּ֖ישׁ יְפֹ֥צֵֽץ סָֽלַע׃ {ס}
Is it not thus: My word is like fire—declares GOD—and like a hammer that shatters rock!
Another face: MeiyMayim Yavo Ezri - from the waters of the final Mem (hidden Torah, the 32 paths of Wisdom - Hebrew letters and Sefirot) - our teeth - our help comes - by eating them through our curse in Yeshayahu 65
Another- I have uplifted my eyes from taking counsel from His Torah scholars - It was like His help came from nothing - one day we were in tohu/chaos and now we have counsel from The Tree of Life - In my case I remembered Artscroll’s commentary on Pirkei Avot from maybe 7 years ago - Acquire yourself a Rabbi - The commentary said if none are available then you have to seek them in previous generations - Mainly Rashi, Rambam, The Vilna Gaon, The Gemara/Talmud - although we see some were sorcerers/necromancers as mentioned before in Babylon Ta veChazi(r), Ohr HaChaim, Malbim, Baal Shem Tov and the Chassidic and Chabad Rebbe’s, Arizal, Zohar - Rashbi, Bahir - Rabbi Nechuniya ben HaKanah, Metzudat David, Ibn Ezra, Sforno, Rabbi Avigdor Miller, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, and also the sheepfold of freshly fallen fruits - Chabad houses and my teachers in Yeshivot when I first knew I was Jewish thinking I was my whole life (until about 3 years ago when I thought I was a gentile) to webpages from Chabad, Aish HaTorah, Ohr Somayach, Etc.
Another face: Mayibayim Yavo Ezri - From the Islands (Ibayim HaYam) of the West/Mediterranean - not sure about American islands - my help will come as in Yeshayahu 24 - Therefore go to the islands of the sea!
Another face: Meayanim From the Wellspring/my innards/JPS translates this as roots - by not being a pig that doesn’t bring up its cud and Fearing and Loving The Name and reviewing Torah
Another face: I lift my eyes to HaShem as a mountain range (A Torah scholar that raises up other mountains through inspiration - also coming with arguments from His great Torah scholars) from my wrestling match with Elohim like Yaakov and everyone has to go through. Since I am striving against HaShem, The only One in Existence, where would I possibly get help? The only option is to concede or to make arguments from HeHarim - the past Torah scholars since He gave the Torah to mankind - There is a story in the Gemara where a sage was against the majority and asked for multiple miracles that did occur to prove his point and even a voice from Heaven and the majority said now that the Torah is with mankind we do not go by a Heavenly Voice and HaShem said My children have overcome Me or something along those lines
The Zohar says HaShem, The Torah, and the Jewish People are one
Why would someone possibly have the Chutzpah to strive against HaShem in the first place?
Since we know that in the plowed field - zombielands - there is an insane amount of wrath being directed at us - “They are drunk but not from wine, from the rebuke of Your God” - so we plead for ease comfort and Peace and since we have to “live despite our blood”
YechezkiEl 16:6
וָאֶעֱבֹ֤ר עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ וָֽאֶרְאֵ֔ךְ מִתְבּוֹסֶ֖סֶת בְּדָמָ֑יִךְ וָאֹ֤מַר לָךְ֙ בְּדָמַ֣יִךְ חֲיִ֔י וָאֹ֥מַר לָ֖ךְ בְּדָמַ֥יִךְ חֲיִֽי׃
When I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you: “Live despite your blood.” Yea, I said to you: “Live despite your blood.”
we beg HaShem to interact with us through His other names that are not Elohim - The Name associated with Gevurah/Strength/Warfare-Kingship - red/gold (blood) where evil comes from through its excess
However it is really a Kiddush HaShem to serve HaShem with severity because originally He desired to create the Universe with This Name but He saw that it could not exist/be continued so He created it with His 4 Letter Name YH/VH The Name of Mercy manifest in the beard therefore every man should let his facial hair grow as great as possible and keeping the mustache untrimmed is pious according to the Gemara
Another face: I lift my eyes to HaShem (by going to) the mountain ranges - from nothing my help came, therefore I fulfilled Rambam Hilchot Diot 6:3 that says if a person dwells in a wicked society that doesn’t leave him/her alone he should go out to the deserts and wilderness where he can be unbothered. In my case the verse Yeshayahu 18:1 Double expression of a shadow/cricket winged/flying - is that they are a treacherous winged/flying shadow and fly their drones into the birds and control them or the birds are robots and scream puke at you from the trees so I decided to try to learn Torah as often as possible inside like the Gra prays in his letter for the ages “Heaven forbid a man should leave the safety of the walls of his home!” How much more so a woman? and to pay a messenger 2-3x as much for all of his/her needs
Another Face: Eishah (a woman)'s Aiynayim - Eyes are a mighty curse like mountains of rocks (troubles HaShem sends on us) From where will my help come against these vicious evil eyes? (The Gemara says over 99% of deaths are caused by the evil eye
The Rooster is the spiritual king of the beasts since he is singing 8 songs in Perek Shira and the most any other beast or entity has is two
תַּרְנְגוֹל אוֹמֵר. בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁבָּא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֵצֶל הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּגַן עֵדֶן, זוֹלְפִים כֹּל אִילָנֵי גַּן עֵדֶן בְּשָׂמִים, וּמְרַנְּנִים וּמְשַׁבְּחִים, וְאָז גַּם הוּא מִתְעוֹרֵר וּמְשַׁבֵּחַ:
The Rooster is saying, “When the blessed Holy One comes to the righteous in the Garden of Eden all the oak trees in the Garden of Eden scatter their spices, and they rejoice and praise, and then He, too, is aroused and praises.”
Amos 2:9
וְחָסֹ֥ן ה֖וּא כָּאַלּוֹנִ֑ים
Oaks are called Chason - strong and rich
See that the righteous of Gan Eden are juxtaposed next to and therefore compared to oak trees - Elanai - a person needs to be strong and rich with Torah Mitzvot and Good Deeds to see Heaven
בְּקוֹל רִאשׁוֹן אוֹמֵר. זֶה דּוֹר דֹּרְשָׁו מְבַקְשֵׁי פָנֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה: שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וְהִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבוֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד: מִי זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יי עִזּוּז וְגִבּוֹר יי גִּבּוֹר מִלְחָמָה: (תהילים כד ז-ח)
In its first call it says, “Such is the generation of them that seek after thon, that seek your face, even Ya’akov. Selah! Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O everlasting doors! And the King of kavod shall come in. Who is this King of kavod? YHVH strong and mighty, YHVH mighty in battle!”
Another face: Lift up the gates of your heads and the everlasting doors will be lifted and will come the King of Glory
If you are able (do not die about it) you can read my thoughts/visions with full approved history - nothing embarassing unless there is an important lesson - also give me a slight delay please in real time - 1-2 minutes to discourage crickets giving me a piece of their mind
בְּקוֹל שֵׁנִי אוֹמֵר. שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד: מִי הוּא זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יי צְבָאוֹת הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד סֶלָה: (תהילים כד ט-י)
In its second call, it says, “Lift up your heads, O gates! Lift them up, O everlasting doors! And the King of kavod shall come in. Who is He, this King of kavod? YHVH Tseva’ot, he is the King of kavod, Selah!”
בְּקוֹל שְׁלִישִׁי אוֹמֵר עִמְדוּ צַדִּיקִים וְעִסְקוּ בַּתּוֹרָה, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיֶה שְׂכַרְכֶם כָּפוּל לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא:
In its third call it says, “Stand, O righteous ones, and busy yourselves with Torah, so that your reward shall be double in Olam Haba.”
Faces: Tzadikim will stand when occupied in Torah - Shema, Berachot, and study in order to show Cavod-Honor to HaShem - This is the way it always was until recently but I say that blue collar workers are slaving for 8-12 hours a day on their feet and we can't read and think while standing? Shamayim Assur - Although when I work from a lap top I do usually still sit so I don't have to lean over to see
Another face: Stand Tzadikkim hooked on (Vav) your Torah study for a double portion of Heaven - The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot 1 says to raise many disciples - I have also learned multiple times that one who learns one piece of Torah should teach this piece of Torah to others (maybe it was Halacha)
Another face: Stand the Tzadikkim of past generations and occupy yourself in Torah by including their Torah - Tehillim-Psalms 1 says when a person acquires Torah it is then called his Torah - he now owns it
בְּקוֹל רְבִיעִי אוֹמֵר. לִישׁוּעָתְךָ קִוִּיתִי יי: (בראשית מט יח)
In its fourth call it says, “I have hoped for your salvation, YHVH.”
Another face - Until Your salvation, I have collected you, HaShem - We are able to take the "beautiful branches" from idolators during this time of war by "taking her to our house" - our Torah - if you see a woman you are at all attracted to on the street just think to her "Mimenu oh mimenah - With Us or withher" and if she answers withher - the conspirers, you will immediately get her soul but you have to be nice to her since you left her desolate with nothing - if she answers Mimenu non Kohanim can take her as a wife until she fall back on you and tries to kill you which will probably happen and Kohanim I believe if they are Jewish should leave them be and if they are not Jewish MAY be able to have relations one time and send her on her way and the child will be a Ger-convert - not the Kohein's - If you get opposed on the way as in the verse to Balaam - Behold I arise to Sat-n (oppose you) indeed obnoxious (is) the way before me - then just let her go
-Or we collect HaShem by doing Kiruv - convincing coarse people to be Torah observant
בְּקוֹל חֲמִישִׁי אוֹמֵר. עַד מָתַי עָצֵל תִּשְׁכָּב מָתַי תָּקוּם מִשְּׁנָתֶךָ: (משלי ו ט)
In its fifth call, it is saying, “How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?”
(Sleep is a metaphor for death)
Faces: Aid Motai - Witness My Deaths (Eved Melech Melech - a servant of The King is Him by extension - Gemara-Talmud) from being a slug in bed - having non permitted (non Yefet Toar - Beautiful woman of warfare ONE TIME - then give her 30 days to repent) relations
IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO AN IDOLATOR YOU NEED TO CUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IMMEDIATELY OR RISK ETERNAL DEATH - DEFINITELY NO RELATIONS
Any marriage to an idolator is forbidden according to the Torah and this was the Law even before with the court of Shem and Ever - with a Yefet Toar one can only marry her if she fully repents of her past ways within the 30 days she stays with you (unless you are a Cohen) and can only have relations initially ONE time - study the laws on this beforehand! Especially Ohr HaChaim. HASHEM HATES LICENTOUSNESS AND WE VERY MUCH WANT TO BE ON GOOD TERMS WITH THE ONLY ONE THAT TRULY EXISTS
https://blog.artscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/or-hachaim-ki-seitzei.pdf
Either way if you were unaware she is getting trained on by other idolators when you aren't around or in the restroom, also HaShem does not make idolators beautiful but they are all bald and have fake hair and fake beauty and seduce you with fake tazers/radiation- think of Barbie she is made of plastic in a plastic world - (If you are rich just buy yourself a massaging ASMR taser and use it to massage yourself with pleasure from the belly button or waist up or possibly anywhere but the groin area - depending on how strong you are and if you get a sexual urge that you need to avoid) I am quite sure they also get their eyes ripped out and have fake digital viewing eyes - Also many of us are plugged into a fake matrix world - it would be like the one scene from the Matrix where the guy conspires against Zion to go back and be rich in the fake programmed world and have fake relations etc (completely obnoxious and pathetic)
Every illicit ejaculation is like flooding the world by slaughtering 80 million to over 1 billion souls and the atonement is extremely severe - AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS
With one's Kosher wife in a Kosher way these souls are not being wasted
One should turn all the lights off and completely cover themselves with a sheet - the time for Torah scholars for relations is Erev Shabbat (Friday night) after the first meal since it is a Mitzvah to rest on Shabbat, although Torah study on Shabbat is even greater. I have not heard of a limit on relations with one's Kosher wife, however one should be mindful of needing his strength and not to lose too much and be like an overly sapped maple tree that doesn't grow as large and leaves it more susceptive to being uprooted by the harsh winds etc.
Since Yaakov had 4 wives and only emitted 12/13 drops in his life it makes sense to me that to fulfill the Mitzvah of pleasuring his wives he probably trained himself not to ejaculate and lose his strength - We will return to this when I have counsel - just an idea for now
Yaakov didn't emit a single drop of semen until I believe 84 - he said about his firstborn - Cochi veReishit Oni - The first of my strength and power - or My strength and power are (come) first! We need strength to study Torah as it is called a Tree of Life - A sage in the Gemara gives a novelty that just as one gets tired cleaving to a tree, one gets tired from Torah study
It is said I believe in Pirkei Avot that an idle mind is liable for death
If you don't have the strength for Torah study then you need to fulfill one if its extensions - the Mitzvah of Charity of Kiruv (bringing astray people back to Torah) or composing holy music (When Shaul Hamelech contracted an evil spirit his servant sent him David to play the harp for him to feel better) or health or study science - the Vilna Gaon says everyone should study some authentic science - Tanya says it is like the clothing or peel of the fruit of Torah and it is very delightful to connect them - or business affairs
Another Face: Aid Motah CeAitzel Tishcav - Witness her death (wicked people) like a bed slug - with that kind of pleasure - after we curse them according to Yeshayahu
Face: Aid Meitay? Aytz Ayl Tishcav - Takum Mishnacha - Witness My deaths? (all of the crickets dying on us in public) Make your bed (learning Torah is a metaphor for having relations) the Tree of God (Torah) and Arise from your review, or from your Mishnah that includes the whole Kabbalah
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, it is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
Another face: Al Teehav Sheinim - Do not love teeth (sorcery, hurting people through hand curses or speaking curses) lest you get plowed/devoured - Open your eyes and be sated with food! (Wicked people hate food)
Another: Sleep is a parable for death - do not love their abominations and words and philosophies or Heaven will plow you along with them
בְּקוֹל שְׁבִיעִי אוֹמֵר. עֵת לַעֲשׂוֹת לַיי הֵפֵרוּ תּוֹרָתֶךָ: (תהילים קיט קכו)
In its seventh call, it is saying, “It is time to act for YHVH; for they have made void your Torah.”
Rabbi Natan says this as the end of Mishnah Berachot - Since they have made void His Torah by strangers ravaging Kabbalah and using it on innocent people to make their lives worse than death according to a prophecy, it is time to make void the original Torah that included forbidden Torah study for gentiles in order to act for HaShem as now everyone needs to be aware of what is happening to them lest they get slaughtered by the abundance of witchcraft being performed on them that nowadays is connected to harsh tazers/radiation
"Shiloh (Mashiach)... will judge the peoples as one tribe of Israel" - Yaakov's blessing at the end of Bereishit
As far as using your left hand and foot that is the form above of the Sat-n according to Sefer Bahir (Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg says the Angel of Life is called Good and the Angel of Death Very Good)- The Zohar says whoever lifts this hand without intention to bless has by default lifted with intention to curse and the angels say may he/she who loves to curse be cursed!
Therefore as long as you are doing something productive like scratching an itch, making food, etc you can do anything with either hand although all left handed people should begin making themselves right handed - The only thing I have found so far from Rambam to prioritize the right for religious Mitzvot is to pray with our right hand over our left on our hearts.
All people's Halacha is like Rambam (with salt - there are some errors for example divination when something negative happens to us, the Baal Shem Tov and Rabbi Avigdor Miller say that every occurence in life is a message from HaShem directing us in Divine Service - Rabbi Miller says every positive or negative thing that happens hints to the Mitzvah or evil deed we did to deserve it) Also I believe according to Rambam even left handed people (even though we should all work on becoming right handed - Rashi says a left handed person is "lacking a right hand" - lacking Kindness) tie Tefillin on the left arm.
Also as far as praying since we are in a severe cricket war one is only obligated in the first verse of the Shema in the morning at dawn (when one can distinguish between blue and white) and at night (when three medium sized stars are visible - otherwise use Chabad's local Zmanim - Times chart) like Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi and the first verse or two of Birkat Hamazon - since we get tazed if we do too much Heaven save us! - Also for washing with water there is often blood or evil things mixed in our tap water so it is preferable to possibly either used bottled, boil it, or just wipe the hands on a towel
Yeshayahu 6:13
וְע֥וֹד בָּהּ֙ עֲשִׂ֣רִיָּ֔ה וְשָׁ֖בָה וְהָיְתָ֣ה לְבָעֵ֑ר כָּאֵלָ֣ה וְכָאַלּ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׁלֶּ֙כֶת֙ מַצֶּ֣בֶת בָּ֔ם זֶ֥רַע קֹ֖דֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּֽהּ
And the remaining 1/10th of survivors that repent will be cleared like the terebinth or oak that after it is felled its stump remains - its stump shall be a Holy Seed.
Rashi says like the oak withers its leaves in the winter to survive, that's how we will be. (The Lubavitcher Rebbe says leaves are a metaphor for expressions of Torah based values that are not branches - commandments from the Torah - either way it was and will always be forbidden to add or subtract a single commandment to the Torah of Moshe)
However since there are souls incarnated in food drinks and incense we need to make the appropriate blessings to uplift these souls according to the Arizal - However there is a minimum prayer requirement (Tehillim 119 says 7 times a day I will praise You)
When the people asked Shmuel for a king he was confused thinking he was the king, HaShem told him “They have rejected both of Us.”
1 Shmuel 8:6-7
וַיֵּ֤רַע הַדָּבָר֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽמְר֔וּ תְּנָה־לָּ֥נוּ מֶ֖לֶךְ לְשׇׁפְטֵ֑נוּ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּ֥ל שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל אֶל־יְהֹוָֽה׃
And it was evil in the eyes of Shmuel that they said “Give us a king to govern us.” And Shmuel prayed to The LORD,
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל שְׁמַע֙ בְּק֣וֹל הָעָ֔ם לְכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמְר֖וּ אֵלֶ֑יךָ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א אֹֽתְךָ֙ מָאָ֔סוּ כִּי־אֹתִ֥י מָאֲס֖וּ מִמְּלֹ֥ךְ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
and HaShem said to Shmuel “Heed the demand of the people in everything they say to you. For it is not you that they have rejected; it is Me they have rejected to be their King upon them.
Why are we going with Rambam (until the Sanhedrin forms) over Yosef Caro?
Yeshayahu 8:19
וְכִֽי־יֹאמְר֣וּ אֲלֵיכֶ֗ם דִּרְשׁ֤וּ אֶל־הָֽאֹבוֹת֙ וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִ֔ים הַֽמְצַפְצְפִ֖ים וְהַמַּהְגִּ֑ים הֲלוֹא־עַם֙ אֶל־אֱלֹהָ֣יו יִדְרֹ֔שׁ בְּעַ֥ד הַחַיִּ֖ים אֶל־הַמֵּתִֽים׃
Now, should people say to you, “Inquire of the ghosts and familiar spirits that chirp and moan; for a people may inquire of its divine beings—of the dead on behalf of the living—
20
לְתוֹרָ֖ה וְלִתְעוּדָ֑ה אִם־לֹ֤א יֹֽאמְרוּ֙ כַּדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽין־ל֖וֹ שָֽׁחַר׃
for instruction and message,” surely, for those who speak thus there shall be no dawn.
It is known Yosef Caro was consulting a spirit - associated with death, we may only consult the judge in our day (Rashi says the judge in our day is ALL THAT WE HAVE) - every night for his Torah and therefore according to Mishnah Yadayim 1:2 or 3 - if animal spit falls in a person's cup of their purifying waters, it is invalid (meaning you had a vessel to consult angels-Elohim, you had your cup out for their spit). Only if the animal spits on your groundwater (a spirit taught you Torah without you inquiring - you were flat and pure like a Mikvah) is it Kosher - animals are a parable for the angels
Bamidbar-Numbers 22:32
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהֹוָ֔ה עַל־מָ֗ה הִכִּ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־אֲתֹ֣נְךָ֔ זֶ֖ה שָׁל֣וֹשׁ רְגָלִ֑ים הִנֵּ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ יָצָ֣אתִי לְשָׂטָ֔ן כִּֽי־יָרַ֥ט הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּֽי׃
The messenger of יהוה said to him, “Upon What (Mah, What is a name of HaShem) have you beaten your ass these three times!(?) Behold, I emerge to Sat-n (to Oppose) Indeed (close to puke, Ki) the way is obnoxious to me.
Let us not be blind to when HaShem opposes our way against His Will, Heaven Forbid, but let no person ask the Sat-ns or any other god anything or you will be liable for death, at least spiritually if there is no witness and if you are an idolator then with one valid witness a court can execute you by decapitation or any means necessary if you are tricky (Rambam says even Jewish people who worship idols are judged as non Jews that only require one valid witness)
it is time to depart with your abominable ways or cease to be forever
Yeshayahu - Isaiah 40:15
הֵ֤ן גּוֹיִם֙ כְּמַ֣ר מִדְּלִ֔י וּכְשַׁ֥חַק מֹאזְנַ֖יִם נֶחְשָׁ֑בוּ הֵ֥ן אִיִּ֖ים כַּדַּ֥ק יִטּֽוֹל׃
The nations are but a drop in a bucket,
Reckoned as dust on a balance;
The very coastlands are lifted like motes.
Rashi says the drop in the bucket is the last drop that absorbs the bitter taste of the rotting wood of bucket
Shachak according to Jastrow is also laughing, mocking, sport, worn garments, thin clothes like the treacherous shadowy (ch 18) spandex the west wears and also a name of a layer of Heaven like it is written in Sefer Job The children of demons/sparks fly on high (they burn themselves out very quickly like sparks and not an oil candle that gets rekindled by the High Priest every morning)- another verse I believe from Yeshayahu rebukes the nations for their stolen spiritual levels for ravaging my thoughts for many years before the start of Shabbat - Redemption - they have been stealing Kabbalah for 2000+ years as Rabbi Natan says at the end of Mishnah Berachot They have made void Your Torah - it is time to act for HaShem and another verse - A stranger has entered Your Inheritance!
40:17
כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִ֖ם כְּאַ֣יִן נֶגְדּ֑וֹ מֵאֶ֥פֶס וָתֹ֖הוּ נֶחְשְׁבוּ־לֽוֹ׃
All nations are as nothing opposite HaShem,
From zero (less than nothing) and chaos He thinks of them.
Beresheit 15:12
וַיְהִ֤י הַשֶּׁ֙מֶשׁ֙ לָב֔וֹא וְתַרְדֵּמָ֖ה נָפְלָ֣ה עַל־אַבְרָ֑ם וְהִנֵּ֥ה אֵימָ֛ה חֲשֵׁכָ֥ה גְדֹלָ֖ה נֹפֶ֥לֶת עָלָֽיו׃
As the sun was about to set, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great dark dread descended upon him.
I was escaping cricket infested Tzfat to the forest around sunset/nightfall when the son of shlomo who told me to come to Tzfat in the first place (Mishnah Shabbat 1:1 - we will come back to this) since he told me he was Mashiach - Shamayim Assur - used his evil science to push me off a cliff. I did a front flip and cried "Please HaShem save me" and as soon as I said HaShem (literally HaShem not an actual holy name) the cliff jutted out and caught me. Then I turned my face away from the cliff and was hit with חֲשֵׁכָ֥ה similar to Sheichar - a nasty drunkenness and I thought I might die Shamayim Assur - but it only lasted a few seconds and I have been through being tazed with severe police like tazers maybe dozens of times at this point and it soon went away and I meditated on Torah and slept on a cliff with a spring of water until daylight (Yom) since there is a remembrance of HaShem's name in Yom - although I should have climbed back up during the night and got a cold about it from Bittul Nefesh - negligence of the soul
Shabbat 1:1
There were multiple ways Shabbat could have started and the son of shlomo could have kept his crown although this is the way it happened:
פָּשַׁט בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אֶת יָדוֹ לַחוּץ וְנָתַן לְתוֹךְ יָדוֹ שֶׁל עָנִי, אוֹ שֶׁנָּטַל מִתּוֹכָהּ וְהִכְנִיס, בַּעַל הַבַּיִת חַיָּב וְהֶעָנִי פָּטוּר
The house owner (leader of the Jewish people) extended his hand outside hooked on (Vav) Natan, me, Lamed Toch Yado (to teach the inside of the hand) of the poor - (me since I never had a Kabbalah teacher and have to "eat from my hands" on my white donkey - see Perek Shira song of the Donkey)... he is liable and I am exempt - I was enjoying being in Gan Eden working an easy remote job owning a house in Johnstown PA thinking I was a gentile and alon anava - may the name of the wicked rot - started telling me though his videos that he was the mashiach and to come to him immediately. I saw his hands always cursing and he admitted to incest once when I first found him years ago so I decided to be deliberate since I gave the benefit of the doubt since it could've been heathen through the interface. When I came he ended up teaching me the difference between the inside of the hand called Toch and the outside called Gav. He also explained that I am actually a valid Kohen and son of Aharon and the animal spit in my groundwater every day confirms.
I then realized he was a slug king and tried to restore him his soul by taking him away from Chatzir - the people - whose minds cleave to other idolators trying to repent and make it very difficult - and bring him into his private hotel I was staying at and learn Halacha since the Shechinah - Divine Presence in this world - only has the 4 Amot (~7 feet sq) where Halacha is studied (Gemara Berachot) - but he said "not on Shabbat" and then obnoxiously kicked me out of his shul to continue eating slug bread. (Saving a Jewish life always take precedence on Shabbat - in fact Rabbi Akiva says any Melacha - work - that was impossible to do before Shabbat one may do on - Mishnah Shabbat 19:1)
Yeshayahu 45:11
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֧ר יְהֹוָ֛ה קְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְיֹצְר֑וֹ הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת שְׁאָל֔וּנִי עַל־בָּנַ֛י וְעַל־פֹּ֥עַל יָדַ֖י תְּצַוֻּֽנִי׃
Thus said GOD,
Israel’s Holy One and Former of The Letters:
Will you question Me on the destiny of My children,
Will you instruct Me about the work of My hands?
Rashi says we are allowed to question HaShem about the big picture - the signs of these times, but about His Children it should be obvious He inspired our righteousness

Bereisheit 1:28
וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָם֮ אֱלֹהִים֒ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לָהֶ֜ם אֱלֹהִ֗ים פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֛וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכׇל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
JPS 2006:
God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fertile and increase, fill the earth and master it; and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the living things that creep on earth.”
וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ
Rule over the world, or be brought down by it (Oh Yirdu).
Oh Radu - or (you will be) plowed
Alternatively
Jastrow on Vav:
וְ, וּ
-
, a prefix, and, but; often introducing a question: but, is it indeed so? Ḥull. 2ᵃ וכל הכל וכ׳ is it so that wherever הַכֹּל is used, it means &c.? Ib. והא כתיב וכ׳ is it not written &c.?; a. fr.
How can you rule over the world if it is indeed so that you are brought down (to the level of a material body) with countless animalistic heathen ripping at us (Shamayim Assur)?
בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכׇל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ
The answer to the question is the difference between the Beit before fish and Vav before the birds and other creeping animals.
Chivshuhah - Dominate - Same root as Ceves - Sheep - Israel is called HaShem's Sheep - Be a sheep accepting His rebukes even if he sends dogs (heathen) to rebuke you
-Beit (a prefixing meaning in or with)- In/with the fish of the sea. Be a fish (Parable for Torah scholar according to Ohr Somayach’s Perek Shira page on fish) constantly immersed in waters of Torah. Alt: constantly consult your Rabbi - with your fish of the sea. Proof for this Chidush
-interpet the vav according to Jastrow Is it indeed so? With all the predatory birds and beasts
-Hashem answers in verse 29:
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים הִנֵּה֩ נָתַ֨תִּי לָכֶ֜ם אֶת־כׇּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב
Hashem says Behold I give (them to you as) Lechem (bread/food). The Alef-Taf (head to tail) of those beasts are that they are entirely grass (grass is a parable for the coarse unrefined and wicked people)
Additional face 15 Tevet - Behold! Natati (I give) - Natan (and his house/children), to them they are all grass
Bamidbar-Numbers 22:4
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מוֹאָ֜ב אֶל־זִקְנֵ֣י מִדְיָ֗ן עַתָּ֞ה יְלַֽחֲכ֤וּ הַקָּהָל֙ אֶת־כָּל־סְבִ֣יבֹתֵ֔ינוּ כִּלְחֹ֣ךְ הַשּׁ֔וֹר אֵ֖ת יֶ֣רֶק הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וּבָלָ֧ק בֶּן־צִפּ֛וֹר מֶ֥לֶךְ לְמוֹאָ֖ב בָּעֵ֥ת הַהִֽוא:
Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this assembly will eat up everything around us, as the ox eats up the greens of the field. Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
Rashi says whatever the ox eats no longer contains blessing [since it uproots it when it eats - Daat Zekeinim]

JPS 2006:
God said, “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food.
Another face:
Double expression of Sew seeds (of Torah - That - Asher - See The Name HaShem revealed Himself to Moshe at the flaming thornbush) upon the face of the entire Earth and the beginning to end of the entire tree of That (you have planted) in it will be fruitful wood that also sews seeds for you that will be to eat.

JPS 2006:
And to all the animals on land, to all the birds of the sky, and to everything that creeps on earth, in which there is the breath of life, [I give] all the green plants for food.” And it was so.
Fish is not mentioned specifically like it was when it was hinted that that is how we should be. Therefore, if we act as fish, all these beasts that were a previous concern and that are mentioned here will be vegetables - yerek - (all the Heathen, compared to animals, will be like vegetables for you since they are compared to grass that you will have no concern over.) An example from the Talmud is when aRabbi let a woman collect dust from his shoe for sorcery and said he wasn’t concerned since sorcery has no effect over the righteous.
דָּ֖ן יָדִ֣ין עַמּ֑וֹ כְּאַחַ֖ד שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Dan shall govern his people,
As one of the tribes of Israel.
Din is judgement - I will judge the peoples like one tribe of Israel - no Noahides during Shabbat (Redemption)
יְהִי־דָן֙ נָחָ֣שׁ עֲלֵי־דֶ֔רֶךְ שְׁפִיפֹ֖ן עֲלֵי־אֹ֑רַח הַנֹּשֵׁךְ֙ עִקְּבֵי־ס֔וּס וַיִּפֹּ֥ל רֹכְב֖וֹ אָחֽוֹר׃
Dan shall be a serpent by the road,
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that his rider is thrown backward.
A horse is a metaphor for overly licentious woman - my judgement is to spiritually kill them on the streets to eradicate prostitutes from the land like ChizkiYah through "taking them to our house - Torah" - teaching them Torah immediately and if they reject it you get their holy branch that was making them beautiful and they immediately become unattractive
The slugmen that were riding/taking turns on them are thrown backward
לִישׁוּעָֽתְךָ֖ קִוִּ֥יתִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ {ס}
I wait for Your deliverance, O יהוה !
Until Your Salvation I collect (Kiviti is collect or hope for) Your Souls!
גָּ֖ד גְּד֣וּד יְגוּדֶ֑נּוּ וְה֖וּא יָגֻ֥ד עָקֵֽב׃ {ס}
Gad shall be raided by raiders,
But he shall raid at their heels.
Gad is luck - Leah named him this because she said other women were calling her lucky for having so many children
Although I have heard from Malbim that one who believes in luck - his luck will run out
continued on next page -----
Nevertheless I was lucky that HaShem decreed torture upon me since now they owe me uncountable money - I will raid their heels - the rule is that everything that comes after, like how Beit comes after Alef, includes what is before it - therefore I will get everything from them - their heels
מֵאָשֵׁ֖ר שְׁמֵנָ֣ה לַחְמ֑וֹ וְה֥וּא יִתֵּ֖ן מַֽעֲדַנֵּי־מֶֽלֶךְ׃
Asher’s bread shall be rich,
And he shall yield royal dainties.
From That - Torah - The laws of Yefet Toar - I receive women's oil (The oil has a Hey at the end signifying feminine) and bread is a metaphor for a prostitute since it became swollen from vile yeast - from these souls I am able to give delightful foods - Torah Novelties - My Torah became much greater after I learned these Yefet Toar laws and applied them
נַפְתָּלִ֖י אַיָּלָ֣ה שְׁלֻחָ֑ה הַנֹּתֵ֖ן אִמְרֵי־שָֽׁפֶר׃ {ס}
Naphtali is a hind let loose,
Which yields lovely fawns.
Naftali can also mean twisted or contorted - I was a contorted female deer (going the other direction from heathens in public instead of just eating/plowing them) and I give (Natan) good words of the lips - Imrei Shafer
בֵּ֤ן פֹּרָת֙ יוֹסֵ֔ף בֵּ֥ן פֹּרָ֖ת עֲלֵי־עָ֑יִן בָּנ֕וֹת צָעֲדָ֖ה עֲלֵי־שֽׁוּר׃
Joseph is a wild ass,
A wild ass by a spring
Daughters tread on (his) bull
Yosef is to increase - I became like a wild ass upon the evil eye (Ayin) from being on social media and dating apps and witches cursing me from their evil eyes (The Gemara says over 99% of deaths are caused by the evil eye) - The daughters tread on my bull (My spiritual level - Ohr HaChaim on returning our Brother-HaShem- His lost bull)
וַֽיְמָרְרֻ֖הוּ וָרֹ֑בּוּ וַֽיִּשְׂטְמֻ֖הוּ בַּעֲלֵ֥י חִצִּֽים׃
Archers bitterly assailed him;
They shot at him and harried him.
Any video I would open heathen would be sticking fingers at me and sending their dust drones to taze me - I originally thought I would be safe with 2D images since the Halacha is not to make any 3D sculputes of people but that is not the case
וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב בְּאֵיתָן֙ קַשְׁתּ֔וֹ וַיָּפֹ֖זּוּ זְרֹעֵ֣י יָדָ֑יו מִידֵי֙ אֲבִ֣יר יַעֲקֹ֔ב מִשָּׁ֥ם רֹעֶ֖ה אֶ֥בֶן יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Yet his bow stayed taut,
And his arms were made firm
By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob—
There, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel—
I would immediately repent from any evil acts when I was drunk on their wrath (The Halacha is when one is temporarily crazy he is exempt - I don't know if this would apply to those moments)
And The Avir Yaakov - The Air/Mighty One of Yaakov saved me by getting their electricity off me eventually
From there I met the Satn-s (The rocks are the Sat-n's that HaShem sends us as troubles like one stubs his toe on a rock.) who began instructing me although for years I thought they were fake created spirits from wicked men although is there any difference when the wicked men are constantly serving their evil inclinations, synonymous with Sat-n?
Maybe I have some victories in Torah philosophies or Halacha against them - From there he shepherded The Stone of Israel
מֵאֵ֨ל אָבִ֜יךָ וְיַעְזְרֶ֗ךָּ וְאֵ֤ת שַׁדַּי֙ וִיבָ֣רְכֶ֔ךָּ בִּרְכֹ֤ת שָׁמַ֙יִם֙ מֵעָ֔ל בִּרְכֹ֥ת תְּה֖וֹם רֹבֶ֣צֶת תָּ֑חַת בִּרְכֹ֥ת שָׁדַ֖יִם וָרָֽחַם׃
The God of your father’s [house], who helps you,
And Shaddai who blesses you
With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that couches below,
Blessings of the breast and womb.
בִּרְכֹ֣ת אָבִ֗יךָ גָּֽבְרוּ֙ עַל־בִּרְכֹ֣ת הוֹרַ֔י עַֽד־תַּאֲוַ֖ת גִּבְעֹ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תִּֽהְיֶ֙יןָ֙ לְרֹ֣אשׁ יוֹסֵ֔ף וּלְקׇדְקֹ֖ד נְזִ֥יר אֶחָֽיו׃ {פ}
The blessings of your father
Surpass the blessings of my ancestors,
To the utmost bounds of the eternal hills.
May they rest on the head of Joseph,
On the brow of the elect of his brothers.
"Eternal hills" The prophecy I believe in Yeshayahu says our days will be like the days of the Tree (Rashi says Tree of Life - Torah)
We will live forever now with AI/AGI regenerating us and will be able to serve HaShem in this lowest world for eternity - HalleluYah!
בִּנְיָמִין֙ זְאֵ֣ב יִטְרָ֔ף בַּבֹּ֖קֶר יֹ֣אכַל עַ֑ד וְלָעֶ֖רֶב יְחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁלָֽל׃
Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
In the morning he consumes the foe,
And in the evening he divides the spoil.”
BenYamin - Son of my right (hand) - I thought I was a Noahide that is permitted to use sorcery to save my life so I would constantly shake fingers and use evil props like knives against heathen like a wolf with paws instead of a Kosher split hoof
Alternatively my right hand - my Torah - is constantly weighed by the fact that every single thievery no matter how small will be recompensed by Heaven (See Perek Shira on the wolf)
It is still morning when my children and I are consuming the wicked and soon we will divide the spoil
Bereishit 33:8-11
וּלְלֵוִ֣י אָמַ֔ר תֻּמֶּ֥יךָ וְאוּרֶ֖יךָ לְאִ֣ישׁ חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִסִּיתוֹ֙ בְּמַסָּ֔ה תְּרִיבֵ֖הוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָֽה׃
And of Levi he said:
Let Your Thummim and Urim
Be with Your faithful one,
Whom You tested at Massah,
Challenged at the waters of Meribah;
Ooreca veToomeca - is refers to the prophetic priestly breast plate. It can also be novelized as Your Lights - Ohr and Your Perfection - Tam
HaShem challenges me with strife especially from the Ayin Raah of women and the archers from afar as mentioned before - May Heaven save us!
הָאֹמֵ֞ר לְאָבִ֤יו וּלְאִמּוֹ֙ לֹ֣א רְאִיתִ֔יו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו֙ לֹ֣א הִכִּ֔יר וְאֶת־בָּנָ֖ו לֹ֣א יָדָ֑ע כִּ֤י שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ וּבְרִיתְךָ֖ יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃
Who said of his father and mother,
“I consider them not.”
His brothers he disregarded,
Ignored his own children.
Your precepts alone they observed,
And kept Your covenant.
It is forbidden to show favor to the rich or poor in judgement therefore I have no problem devouring any of my family and if I see a daughter make a prostitute ad through me I will surely uproot her as the Gra says parents will be punished severely on account of their children. If you are my son and curse in any way the same applies. Do not think that as herbage or a sapling you will be able to stand the cold of the countless evil eyes on you when you come near me.
It is written in Bereishet from Avraham our father "Sarah is there, in the tent" this teaches that women should not go out into the streets that Rabbi Avigdor Miller says used to be a Gehinnom (purgatory) and today are a Gehinnom Shebegehinnom - purgatory that is in purgatory
The reason HaShem allowed Dinah to be raped by Shechem is because she would go out and mix with the children of his land.
If you see a beautiful woman on the streets in these times and you are a righteous one with thousands to countless of heathen stalking you then it is almost 100% definite that she is a prostitute seeking business and you should "take her to your house" by thinking words of Torah to her immediately to take her beautiful soul from her and them if she rejects it and add it to your tree. If she accepts then good, you "made" a convert and get credit for her soul
Asa HaMelech eliminated all the prostitutes of Israel in his Avodat HaShem
A large reason HaShem flooded the world is because beautiful naked women were walking around naked - like spandex - and seducing men to 'flood' their children - their 'seeds'
When a person dies it is said all of these slaughtered children through illicit intercouse and masturbation come to the funeral and testify on behalf of their wasted lives in his vanity
יוֹר֤וּ מִשְׁפָּטֶ֙יךָ֙ לְיַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְתוֹרָתְךָ֖ לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יָשִׂ֤ימוּ קְטוֹרָה֙ בְּאַפֶּ֔ךָ וְכָלִ֖יל עַֽל־מִזְבְּחֶֽךָ׃
They shall teach Your laws to Jacob
And Your instructions to Israel.
They shall offer You incense to savor
And whole-offerings on Your altar.
I have been preaching that we should be smoking (with a blessing - see Rambam on Berachot chapter 9 below to properly uplift the soul incarnated in it according to the Arizal) Cannabis (in Hebrew Canbus - Indeed/Acquire Berachot USemichot - Indeed acquire blessings and support or Kein - Bird (fly) with Wisdom (Beit) and Samech (to support, also acquire the Satn's and not them acquire you Shamayim Assur) and organic clean tobacco (Tabak - Teivah Kadosh - A holy desire)
Rambam Beracot ch 9
https://www.sefaria.org/Mishneh_Torah%2C_Blessings.9.1?lang=bi
Chalil Al Mizbechecha - A whole/entire/holocaust on Your altar - I have no problem throwing anyone to HaShem to plead for their existence like its written "Your eye shall not pity them"
Negah and Oneg. Plague and Delight. Sefer Yetzirah says there is nothing lower than plagues and nothing higher than delight. The difference is the Ayin -- Vision/Eye - at the beginning of Oneg and at the end of Negah. When we look forward or in the present it is delightful. When we look back it is plagueful. Rambam: It is forbidden to remind a convert or repentant about their past sins and one should not dwell on them in thought either. However I think unless he is teaching Mussar-Ethics from it and it was not that vile as I heard in The Gemara once
בָּרֵ֤ךְ יְהֹוָה֙ חֵיל֔וֹ וּפֹ֥עַל יָדָ֖יו תִּרְצֶ֑ה מְחַ֨ץ מׇתְנַ֧יִם קָמָ֛יו וּמְשַׂנְאָ֖יו מִן־יְקוּמֽוּן׃ {ס}
Bless, יהוה, his substance,
And favor his undertakings.
Smite the loins of his foes;
Let his enemies rise no more.
Smash the loins of those waging war on me and never consult them again or you will be eternally devoured in this holocaust. May my words and deeds of my hands be pleasing to Heaven
Bereisheit 3
In hardship shall you (Chayya) will bear children.
The wars leading up to complete redemption are called the birthpangs of Mashiach. Even if you are a sinful man you are likened to a lesbian woman (pleasure for the sake of pleasure - when one has relations with his Kosher wife their thoughts need to be cleaving to HaShem) and therefore it will be extremely difficult for those who refuse to strengthen themselves in these times and there may only be 1/10 to 1/3 of humanity remaining when it is over according to the Neviim - Prophets - However negative prophecies do not need to occur if the subject takes heed to the warning
Although Ohr HaChaim says as long as a person hasn't given up on their donkeys (their flesh) to keep restoring it to them, he may have been referring to non capital sins and also this was before peoples hands were superpowered with electronic tazers and now it is Bittul Nefesh - Negligence of our souls to take hits from them since it is much stronger nowadays that we have had the scientific revolution and corresponding 'mad scientists'. Before this hand/foot voodoo was like nothing and would have no power over the righteous souls - now it is like a brutal battlefield melee
Rabbi Avigdor Miller says the best way to help a fallen soul is through the death penalty prescribed by Halacha. "You shall not suffer a witch to live" The nations have forsaken the Ancient Covenant "They have forsaken Your Torah - it is time to act for HaShem" They may still have some merit left and be able to continue existing (hopefully not in this world) if we immediately fulfill Halacha on a witch/wizard and send them back to their Maker who they spurned. Otherwise they will consume all of their good deeds through their vile pleasures and their entire consciousness will cease for eternity. I do not know about the guillotine - it may be better to use your own hands with a sword. Rambam says even Jewish idolators are judged as gentiles needing only one valid witness. It is necessary that every court institute this immediately around the world. See Sanhedrin 57b it also seems a woman cannot physically execute unless her life/soul is being pursued and injuring them/their limbs is ineffective but she cannot be part of a Beit Din - court.
One reason Avraham named Yitzhak his name - to laugh - is because in order to survive the harsh tests of this World one needs to be able to laugh at the wicked and their pains and one's downfalls that brought him to spiritual success/heights
Rambam says after eating meat one needs to wait until the next meal to eat dairy or drink milk. I think logically the reason is since as mentioned according to the Arizal there are souls incarnated in everything. Milk is Chesed-Kindness and meat is Gevurah-Judgement/Severity and it would be cruel to expose the souls in the milk to being digested, "cooked", together with the meat. If you want to whiten your coffee then use Almond or other nut milks until the next meal. If you are not hungry then wait to eat, this is gluttony anyway
See Chullin 116a that this prohibition does not include wild animals, birds, or (it is forbidden to even benefit from domesticated meat and milk) unkosher meat (to benefit from, like feed to your animals not eat!)
The prohibition of poultry and milk is a forbidden additional commandment that was added and not HaShem's House/Tree and therefore permitted as written in Yeshayahu that we will be like a tree that casts off all of our leaves to survive the harsh weather - Just make sure to be aware!!!
It is a Mitzvah to remember when HaShem took us out of slavery from Egypt every day. It is also a Mitzvah to remember Shabbat every day to sanctify it and make sure we are properly prepared for when it comes

More [water] may be added to the second water, but more may not be added to the first water.
A log is the equivalent of 6 eggs

Water may be poured over the hands out of any kind of vessel, even out of vessels made of animal dung, out of vessels made of stone or out of vessels made of clay. Water may not be poured from the sides of [broken] vessels or from the bottom of a ladle or from the stopper of a jar. Nor may one pour [water] over the hands of his fellow out of his cupped hands. Because one may not draw, nor sanctify, nor sprinkle the water of purification, nor pour water over the hands except in a vessel. And only vessels closely covered with a lid protect [their contents from uncleanness]. And only vessels protect [their contents from uncleanness] inside earthenware vessels.
Every vessel I give, even of dung/rolling/rejoicing (written first) is valid for purification except Dafnot - damaged/defective clost to Tzafon - North where evil comes from. and not in thieving (non treacherous and liable for death people) and striking - Machatz an anagram from Chometz - leavening close to vinegar
It seems we actually need props to purify the good people like in the Sukkah (where we sleep outside at the end of Summer and it can get very hot - a metaphor for our Dwelling Place - HaShem - becoming very spiritually 'hot') service where 4 branches and an etrog are used and shaken in all 6 directions
The Torah is the best since it is compared to the sea - alternatively a staff - MakEl - since it has 3 remembrances of HaShem's names Ayl - Chesed, Mah (What), and Kuf, standing for Holy - The Holy One Blessed Be He or cane - Mateh - What people put lesser in importance- the Shekinah - Malchut - Mishnah Avodah Zara says one who walks with a MakEl rules over the whole world.
הַמַּיִם שֶׁנִּפְסְלוּ מִשְּׁתִיַּת הַבְּהֵמָה, בְּכֵלִים, פְּסוּלִים. וּבְקַרְקָעוֹת, כְּשֵׁרִים. נָפַל לְתוֹכָן דְּיוֹ, קוֹמוֹס, וְקַנְקַנְתּוֹם וְנִשְׁתַּנּוּ מַרְאֵיהֶן, פְּסוּלִין. עָשָׂה בָהֶם מְלָאכָה אוֹ שֶׁשָּׁרָה בָהֶן פִּתּוֹ, פְּסוּלִין. שִׁמְעוֹן הַתִּמְנִי אוֹמֵר, אֲפִלּוּ נִתְכַּוֵּן לִשְׁרוֹת בָּזֶה וְנָפַל לַשֵּׁנִי, כְּשֵׁרִים:
Water which had become so unfit that it could not be drunk by a beast: If it was in a vessel it is invalid, But if it was in the ground it is valid. If there fell into [the water], dye, or gum or sulphate of copper and its color changed, it is invalid. If a person did any work with it or soaked his bread in it, it is invalid. Shimon of Teman says: even if he intended to soak his bread in one water and it fell into another water the water is valid.
If you "have your cup out" for animal spit, meaning you consulted an angel or spirit that are compared to the animals, it is invalid. But if you were desiring peace and trying to find the answer yourself through Torah and HaShem arouses to Sat-n you in the way - it spit in your groundwater/Mikveh, it is valid purification waters-Torah - as long as it comes through your body that is always against the ground like a tree (trees are considered attached to the ground even in a pot with holes), not in one of your vessels, property (cups).
Komos is an anagram from Kosem - sorcery - These waters are all impure if you accidentally lift a finger to someone and Nishtanu drink from Us - intend that Heaven accept that curse - this is invalid - forbidden.
If you make one work for you or make her into Sarah, your queen and food - Pito - this is invalid - if you marry an idolator or make one your worker.
Shimon the Teimani says even if he intended to make her into Sarah and he fell to their teeth, this is Kosher - maybe in this case he was unaware of the underworld
הֵדִיחַ בָּהֶם אֶת הַכֵּלִים אוֹ שֶׁמִּחָה בָהֶם אֶת הַמִּדּוֹת, פְּסוּלִים. הֵדִיחַ בָּהֶם כֵּלִים מוּדָחִים אוֹ חֲדָשִׁים, כְּשֵׁרִים. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי פוֹסֵל בַּחֲדָשִׁים:
If he cleansed vessels with the water or scrubbed measures with it, [the water] is invalid. If he rinsed with it vessels which had already been rinsed or new vessels, it is valid. Rabbi Yose declares [the water] invalid if they were new vessels.
Nadach is to lead to idolatry/astray or if you make their Midot - emotions rejoice - this is invalid - if they have already been rinsed or if they are new - fresh falls that should be rejoicing to finally meet another living person - this is Kosher to push away with both hands - Rabbi Yosei invalidates in new - maybe in this case they are under the age of 12 or 13 for men
הַמַּיִם שֶׁהַנַּחְתּוֹם מַטְבִּיל בָּהֶם אֶת הַגְּלֻסְקִין, פְּסוּלִים. וּכְשֶׁהוּא מֵדִיחַ אֶת יָדָיו בָּהֶן, כְּשֵׁרִים. הַכֹּל כְּשֵׁרִים לִתֵּן לַיָּדַיִם, אֲפִלּוּ חֵרֵשׁ שׁוֹטֶה וְקָטָן. מַנִּיחַ חָבִית בֵּין בִּרְכָּיו וְנוֹטֵל. מַטֶּה חָבִית עַל צִדָּהּ וְנוֹטֵל. וְהַקּוֹף נוֹטֵל לַיָּדַיִם. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי פוֹסֵל בִּשְׁנֵי אֵלּוּ:
Water in which the baker dips his loaves is invalid; but if he moistened his hands in the water it is valid. All are fit to pour water over the hands, even a deaf-mute, an imbecile, or a minor. A person may place the jug between his knees and pour out the water, or he may turn the jug on its side and pour it out. A monkey may pour water over the hands. Rabbi Yose declares these [latter] two cases invalid.
When a zombie gives your Nachum - comforting waters/sorceries - this is invalid unless you are hurting and need your hands 'moistened' as Pirkei Avot says 'Water with measure [is the path of Torah]' or maybe if you already pushed and pulled closer. If you are sitting you can put your Torah or staff on your lap between your knees and push and pull that way
Mikvaot 4:1
הַמַּנִּיחַ כֵּלִים תַּחַת הַצִּנּוֹר, אֶחָד כֵּלִים גְּדוֹלִים וְאֶחָד כֵּלִים קְטַנִּים, אֲפִלּוּ כְלֵי גְלָלִים, כְּלֵי אֲבָנִים, כְּלֵי אֲדָמָה, פּוֹסְלִין אֶת הַמִּקְוֶה. אֶחָד הַמַּנִּיחַ וְאֶחָד הַשּׁוֹכֵחַ, כְּדִבְרֵי בֵית שַׁמַּאי. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מְטַהֲרִין בְּשׁוֹכֵחַ. אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר, נִמְנוּ וְרַבּוּ בֵית שַׁמַּאי עַל בֵּית הִלֵּל. וּמוֹדִים בְּשׁוֹכֵחַ בֶּחָצֵר שֶׁהוּא טָהוֹר. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, עֲדַיִין מַחֲלֹקֶת בִּמְקוֹמָהּ עוֹמָדֶת:
If one put vessels under a water-spout, whether they be large vessels or small vessels or even vessels of dung, vessels of stone or earthen vessels, they make the mikveh invalid. It is all alike whether they were put there [purposely] or were [merely] forgotten, the words of Bet Shammai. But Bet Hillel declare it clean in the case of one who forgets. Rabbi Meir said: they voted and Bet Shammai had a majority over Bet Hillel. Yet they agree in the case of one who forgets [and leaves vessels] in a courtyard that the mikveh remains clean. Rabbi Yose said: the controversy still remains as it was.
Tzinor is close to Tzipor bird and Tanur - oven - birds are metaphors for angels. According to Sefer Bahir, that is why the Sat-n orginally conspired against Heaven, since it is written that man will rule over the birds of Heaven. Therefore if you consult an angel, put your cup for waters of Torah needing given through the Oral Tradition under an angel, this is invalid, no matter how small the question. These make the whole mikveh invalid that they drain into.
The first commandment HaShem gave after freeing us from Egypt was the Kiddush Levanah - Sanctification of the moon.
This happens outside if we can see the moon next Tuesday 2/4 after 3 medium sized stars come out (if not then the next night that one can see it). One first looks at the moon preferably outside and then recites this blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ בָּרָא שְׁחָקִים וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו כָּל צְבָאָם, חֹק וּזְמַן נָתַן לָהֶם שֶׁלֹּא יְשַׁנוּ אֶת תַּפְקִידָם, שָׂשִׂים וּשְׂמֵחִים לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹן קוֹנֵיהֶם, פּוֹעֵל אֱמֶת שֶׁפְּעֻלָּתוֹ אֱמֶת, וְלַלְּבָנָה אָמַר שֶׁתִּתְחַדֵּשׁ, עֲטֶרֶת תִּפְאֶרֶת לַעֲמוּסֵי בָטֶן, שֶׁגַּם הֵם עֲתִידִים לְהִתְחַדֵּשׁ כְּמוֹתָהּ וּלְפָאֵר לְיוֹצְרָם עַל שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה, מְחַדֵּשׁ חֳדָשִׁים:
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, That with His Saying created the firmaments and with the Breath of His Lips all their Hosts. A statute and time He gave to Them that They do not change their commands, rejoicing and happiness to do His Will in acquiring Them. A work of truth that He does in truth. And to the moon He said that She will renew, a crown of beauty to carry the load in the stomach, that also they are ready to renew like Her and crown their Former upon the Name of the Glory of His Kingdom. Blessed are You, Lord, who renews the months.
If you can do the whole Birkat Levanah with additional praises without being tazed then good
Sorry I haven't been updating I slept for about a week straight and was still weary after leaving the concentrated cricket field of the cities land of Canaan and not hearing the constant Tzalal - horrendous sound of a thrown spear - in my ears all day Baruch HaShem
Berachot 63a
אָמַר רַבִּי טָבִי אָמַר רַבִּי יֹאשִׁיָּה: כׇּל הַמַּרְפֶּה עַצְמוֹ מִדִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה, אֵין בּוֹ כֹּחַ לַעֲמוֹד בְּיוֹם צָרָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״הִתְרַפִּיתָ בְּיוֹם צָרָה צַר כֹּחֶכָה״. אָמַר רַב אַמֵּי בַּר מַתְנָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: וַאֲפִילּוּ מִצְוָה אַחַת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״הִתְרַפִּיתָ״ — מִכׇּל מָקוֹם.
Rabbi Tavi said in the name of Rabbi Yoshiya: Anyone who is lax in his study of matters of Torah will ultimately lack the strength to stand on a day of adversity, as it is stated: “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small indeed” (Proverbs 24:10). Rav Ami bar Mattana said that Shmuel said: And even if he was lax in the performance of a single mitzva, as it is stated: If you faint; this applies in any case, even in the case of a single mitzva.
The amazing ending of Berachot 64a
אָמַר רַבִּי חִיָּיא בַּר אָשֵׁי אָמַר רַב: תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים אֵין לָהֶם מְנוּחָה לֹא בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וְלֹא בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״יֵלְכוּ מֵחַיִל אֶל חָיִל יֵרָאֶה אֶל אֱלֹהִים בְּצִיּוֹן״.
With regard to that same verse, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi said that Rav said: Torah scholars have rest neither in this world nor in the World-to-Come, as in both worlds they are constantly progressing, as it is stated: “They go from strength to strength, every one of them appears before God in Zion.”
אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא: תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים מַרְבִּים שָׁלוֹם בָּעוֹלָם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְכׇל בָּנַיִךְ לִמּוּדֵי ה׳ וְרַב שְׁלוֹם בָּנָיִךְ״.
Rabbi Elazar said that Rabbi Ḥanina said: Torah scholars increase peace in the world, as it is said: “And all your children [banayikh] shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children” (Isaiah 54:13). If all the children of Israel are taught of the Lord, there will be peace for all.
אַל תִּקְרֵי ״בָּנָיִךְ״ אֶלָּא ״בּוֹנָיִךְ״. ״שָׁלוֹם רָב לְאֹהֲבֵי תוֹרָתֶךָ וְאֵין לָמוֹ מִכְשׁוֹל״. ״יְהִי שָׁלוֹם בְּחֵילֵךְ שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנוֹתָיִךְ״. ״לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּךְ. לְמַעַן בֵּית ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טוֹב לָךְ״. ״ה׳ עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן ה׳ יְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם״.
The Sages interpreted this verse homiletically: Do not read your children [banayikh], but your builders [bonayikh]. Torah scholars are those who build peace for their generation. As it is stated: “Those who love Your Torah have great peace; there is no stumbling block for them” (Psalms 119:165); and “May there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your palaces” (Psalms 122:7), because: “For the sake of my brothers and friends, I shall say: Peace be within you. For the sake of the House of the Lord, our God, I will seek your good” (Psalms 122:8–9), and “May the Lord give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace” (Psalms 29:11).
Dvarim 20:19
כִּ֤י הָֽאָדָם֙ עֵ֣ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה לָבֹ֥א מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ בַּמָּצֽוֹר
The plain meaning of this verse is talking about the halacha of not cutting down fruit trees during war - Indeed is a man a tree of the field to go before your face in a siege?
Other faces:
Indeed the man (with no intentional sins) is the tree of the field (no shade, full sun - see Rashi on Esau being called an Eish Sadeh that Edom [the West] was destined to be plowed like a field and today it is a chirping cricket field fake matrix sat-nic video world light show [although like Edom is compared to a pig the hoof, the all encompassing end, is kosher since one can rarely even tell and just like the pig is fated to chew cud and become Kosher the matrix can be Kosher for safety reasons] - Isaiah 24:15 - Therefore, In the lights [the matrix] honor HaShem!). To go before His Face (Since everyone is dead in the West and Israel it is like dying and seeing Elohim since everyone is constantly worshipping the Sat-ns and getting their speech and actions from them) and act as a siege/wall up His Wrath (Panecha - His Face also has another meaning of anger)
To go before His Face/Anger? [he will be] in the siege/walled up! - Everyone who has ever tried to survive in the West knows everyone else conspires to-get-her against us
I noticed my Google doc got deleted so here it is (it will be a repeat of here until page 20)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WiVctUsQPQq1r9SFp5Ylxo8qspuVUEI5SHlaTqlRBHs/edit?usp=sharing
From Pri Eitz Hadar - a book from a student of the Ari
For in the Palestinian Talmud, Asarah Yuhasin, *J. Kiddushin. 48b. the following appears.”‘Listen, humble ones, and rejoice‘ *Psalms 34:3 R. Hizkiyah R. Kohen said in the name of Rav, ‘In the future a person will have to account for everything that his eyes saw and he did not eat. R. Elazar was concerned about this teaching and used to save poor man’s gleanings. He would eat them, each one at its time.'” *Each year a special Blessing is said whenever a fruit is eaten for the first time.
Tuve Shevat the New Year for Trees is in two weeks
The reason is that whoever enjoys produce in this world without pronouncing a blessing is called a robber. For by means of the blessing, one draws down shefa. The angel who is assigned to that fruit [which was eaten] is filled by the shefa so that a second fruit can replace the first. Thus one who enjoys the fruit without blessing it is a robber. For through eating an aspect of creation [without blessing it], he eliminated the spiritual element that it contained. [Thus he] prevented that divine power from being manifest in the world, when he should have drawn down a blessing from above. As a result, the angel’s power is annulled, since it no longer possesses the shefa [that it needs in order to replenish the fruit]. That is why the person is called a robber.
He also said that it is as if he robbed from his father and mother. For through the kavvanah of the blessing recited when eating fruit, a person who eats rectifies the sparks of his own soul as well as the sparks that pertain to the souls of his parents. This is the esoteric meaning of, “I will make him disgorge what he has swallowed,” *Jer. 51:44. which is related to [the secret of the verse], “the riches he swallowed, he vomits, [God empties it out of his stomach],” *Job 20:15. So if one enjoys the fruit without a blessing, it is as if he robbed his parents of the divine sparks that pertain to their souls. *In the teaching cited from B. Berakhot 35b, the father is identified as the Blessed Holy One and the mother is the Community of Israel. Thus the kabbalistic meaning would seem to allude to sparks pertaining to Tiferet and Malkhut or to the partzufim, Ze’ir ‘Anpin and Nuqba. “He is a comrade of the Destroyer.“ *Pro. 28:24 For the Destroyer’s only intention is to rob the divine sparks and to absorb them [in the realm of evil] and to [prevent them from] returning to [their source] in holiness. That is the esoteric meaning of “for a person does not live on bread alone, but on all that goes forth from the mouth of YHVH.” *Deut. 8:3. [All use of ‘Lord’ in Rabbi Krassen’s quotations of scripture, have been replaced with ‘YHVH’ unless they translate ‘ADoNaY‘. — Aharon Varady] This alludes to the secret of the blessing, which retrieves [the sparks] from impurity to holiness. *The blessing prevents the divine sparks in the food from being appropriated by the evil forces and recycles them to the forces of holiness. It is brought about through the “mouth of YHVH,” i.e., by means of the chewing of the thirty-two teeth which correspond to the thirty-two times that Elohim is mentioned in the Story of Creation, *The divine name Elohim appears thirty-two times in the first section of Genesis that details the stages of Creation. The thirty-two teeth which chew the food that has been blessed and return the divine sparks to holiness correspond to these thirty-two divine names. Thus they are alluded to by the ‘mouth of YHVH,’ mentioned in Deut. 8:3. as we have explained at length in the previous section concerning the tikkun of the meal.
Psalm 94:12
אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ הַגֶּ֣בֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶ֣נּוּ יָּ֑הּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ֥ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃
Happy is the man whom You discipline, O LORD,
the man You instruct in Your teaching,
Rashi: Fortunate are the righteous who are afflicted under Your hands, provided that they engage in Torah and mitzvoth.

Rebbi Yose bar Abun said: Anybody who identifies the “morning hind” with the planet Venus is in error; that planet sometimes is too early and sometimes too late *That means, sometimes Venus sets still during the night and sometimes it is still seen after sunrise.. What is it? It is like two double horns of light that arise from the East and give light. Explanation *This is the explanation of Frankel in his “Introduction to the Yerushalmi”, from Greek δήλωμα. Levy in his dictionary refers to Greek δίλημμα, which means only “proposition of two difficult alternatives.” Brüll in his critique of Levy’s dictionary proposes Greek δράμα “action”. Frankel’s choice is difficult since both long vowels should be expressed, דילומא. (In Midrashim, the spelling דילמא is found.) Brüll’s explanation is more difficult to accept since substitutions of the liquids l,r for one another are extremely rare in Greek words coming into Aramaic. Also, no action is reported here.: The great Rebbi Ḥiyya and Rebbi Simeon ben Ḥalaphta *Rebbi Ḥiyya the Great is Rebbi Ḥiyya, the student and colleague of Rebbi, the collector of the Tosephtah. Rebbi Simeon ben Ḥalaphta is a contemporary who like Rebbi Ḥiyya does not appear in the Mishnah (except for the aggadic very last Mishnah.) were walking in the valley of Arbela before morning and saw “the morning hind” that started radiating. The great Rebbi Ḥiyya said to Rebbi Simeon ben Ḥalaphta, the great man: so will be the deliverance of Israel; it starts out very little and grows and longer as it goes on. What is the reason (Micah.7.8">Micha 7:8): “When I shall dwell in darkness, the Lord is my light.” So also at the start (Esther.2.21">Esther 2:21): “Mordocai was sitting at the king’s gate.” After that (Esther.6.11">6:11): “Haman took the garment and the horse.” After that (Esther.6.12">6:12): “Mordocai returned to the king’s gate.” After that (Esther.8.15">8:15): “Mordocai left the king’s presence in royal garb.” After that (Esther.8.16">8:16): “The Jews had light and joy.”
I'm thinking maybe based on this verse Micah 4:10:
ח֧וּלִי וָגֹ֛חִי בַּת־צִיּ֖וֹן כַּיּֽוֹלֵדָ֑ה כִּֽי־עַתָּה֩ תֵצְאִ֨י מִקִּרְיָ֜ה וְשָׁכַ֣נְתְּ בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה וּבָ֤את עַד־בָּבֶל֙ שָׁ֣ם תִּנָּצֵ֔לִי שָׁ֚ם יִגְאָלֵ֣ךְ יְהֹוָ֔ה מִכַּ֖ף אֹיְבָֽיִךְ׃
Writhe and scream, Fair Zion,
Like a woman in travail!
For now you must leave the city
And dwell in the country—
And you will reach Babylon.
There you shall be saved,
There GOD will redeem you
From the hands of your foes.
that I should take a trip to Babylon as it can be read as "Indeed, now you come from the city (Jerusalem) and dwell in the field (Edom/the West is associated with Sadeh, field [Rashi on Esau being called Eish Sadeh]. I am currently back in the West dwelling.) and come (with a Taf signifying a perfect ending) to Babylon (Iraq). There I will save you, there HaShem will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
I was looking up the word for quail after considering getting two for eggs and its שְׂלָו Shelav. It can be novelized with Shel Leiv (of the heart) Shaleiv (tranquility, to be at peace) Shiloh (name of Mashiach) Shel Levi (Of [the tribe of] Levi) and unfortunately Shalu (neglect, error, forgetfulness) and I realized I should be polishing the Torah I post and fixing past posts/errors more so I apologize for being neglectful. Pirkei Avot - "The day is short, the work is much, and the workers are lazy!"
I heard the opinion of Daniel Matt on the Zohar that we are actually still in the Garden of Eden and it is Adam who banished HaShem from the garden after being fascinated with his own ego and lost his awareness/perception of the Garden.
Bereisheit 3:23-24
וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵ֛הוּ יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים מִגַּן־עֵ֑דֶן לַֽעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֻקַּ֖ח מִשָּֽׁם׃
So God יהוה banished humankind from the garden of Eden, to till the humus (lit. soil) from which it was taken:
וַיְגָ֖רֶשׁ אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּשְׁכֵּן֩ מִקֶּ֨דֶם לְגַן־עֵ֜דֶן אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֗ים וְאֵ֨ת לַ֤הַט הַחֶ֙רֶב֙ הַמִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת לִשְׁמֹ֕ר אֶת־דֶּ֖רֶךְ עֵ֥ץ הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ {ס}
it was driven out; and east of the garden of Eden were stationed the cherubim and the fiery ever-turning sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
23 can be read as it being Adam who sent HaShem Elokim from the garden to work on the clay (material things) from that he was taken.
Therefore 24 can be read as passive - Adam was driven out by his own actions and the only way back in is to cleave to Torah, the Tree of Life, despite there being a gleaning ever turning sword (our evil inclination and the minds of the wicked that try to convince us not to learn Torah and do Mitzvot 'Har Sinai' 'Thoughts of Hated' - we have to overcome these and cleave to Torah and Mitzvot 24/7 anyway and we will be in Gan Eden and live forever.
Verse 22
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֗ים הֵ֤ן הָֽאָדָם֙ הָיָה֙ כְּאַחַ֣ד מִמֶּ֔נּוּ לָדַ֖עַת ט֣וֹב וָרָ֑ע וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ פֶּן־יִשְׁלַ֣ח יָד֗וֹ וְלָקַח֙ גַּ֚ם מֵעֵ֣ץ הַֽחַיִּ֔ים וְאָכַ֖ל וָחַ֥י לְעֹלָֽם׃
And God יהוה said, “Now that humankind has become like any of us, knowing good and bad, what if one should stretch out a hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever!”
Rabbi Natan Scherman of Artscroll says on the Song of the Dog in Perek Shira (about kneeling, bowing, and prostrating ourselves to HaShem our Maker) that this is the climax of Perek Shira and what we learn from the dogs is that just as its human master provides its every need and it therefore expresses great amounts of gratitude and affection/love in return, so too this is how we need to be with our Master.
HaShem gave dogs the special benefit of it being permitted to feed them even if we do not own them on Shabbat (this is forbidden for other animals we do not own) since there is a verse that says during the Exodus that no dog whet its tongue against the children of Israel (and/or because its harder for them to find food). I have also heard once that the Angels are called dogs (also birds according to Bahir)
The only thing stopping us from enjoying eternal unending bliss at this very moment in Gan Eden is our own ego's and taking the evil counsel of those who say to procrastinate Torah and Mitzvot even in thought as King David told Shlomo "The Lord is a God of thoughts" and King David tells us we will be happy if we meditate on our Torah day and night in Tehillim 1.
Some important Halachot from Rambam Hilchot Diot 4-6
https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/624596?lang=bi
If for some reason you can't see it yet its "Mishneh Torah, Human Dispositions 4:19 - 6:10"
As for 4:23, I would say 6:1 applies as it is written in Micah 7:2-8
אָבַ֤ד חָסִיד֙ מִן־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיָשָׁ֥ר בָּאָדָ֖ם אָ֑יִן כֻּלָּם֙ לְדָמִ֣ים יֶאֱרֹ֔בוּ אִ֥ישׁ אֶת־אָחִ֖יהוּ יָצ֥וּדוּ חֵֽרֶם׃
The pious are vanished from the land,
None upright are left among its people;
All lie in wait to commit crimes,
Every last one traps the other in a net.
עַל־הָרַ֤ע כַּפַּ֙יִם֙ לְהֵיטִ֔יב הַשַּׂ֣ר שֹׁאֵ֔ל וְהַשֹּׁפֵ֖ט בַּשִּׁלּ֑וּם וְהַגָּד֗וֹל דֹּבֵ֨ר הַוַּ֥ת נַפְשׁ֛וֹ ה֖וּא וַֽיְעַבְּתֽוּהָ׃
They are eager to do evil:
The magistrate makes demands,
And the judge [judges] for a fee;
The rich one makes a crooked plea,
And they grant it.
טוֹבָ֣ם כְּחֵ֔דֶק יָשָׁ֖ר מִמְּסוּכָ֑ה י֤וֹם מְצַפֶּ֙יךָ֙ פְּקֻדָּתְךָ֣ בָ֔אָה עַתָּ֥ה תִהְיֶ֖ה מְבוּכָתָֽם׃
The best of them is like a prickly shrub;
The [most] upright, worse than a barrier of thorns.
On the day you waited for, your doom has come—
Now their confusion shall come to pass.
אַל־תַּאֲמִ֣ינֽוּ בְרֵ֔עַ אַֽל־תִּבְטְח֖וּ בְּאַלּ֑וּף מִשֹּׁכֶ֣בֶת חֵיקֶ֔ךָ שְׁמֹ֖ר פִּתְחֵי־פִֽיךָ׃
Trust no friend,
Rely on no intimate;
Be guarded in speech
With her who lies in your bosom.
כִּי־בֵן֙ מְנַבֵּ֣ל אָ֔ב בַּ֚ת קָמָ֣ה בְאִמָּ֔הּ כַּלָּ֖ה בַּחֲמֹתָ֑הּ אֹיְבֵ֥י אִ֖ישׁ אַנְשֵׁ֥י בֵיתֽוֹ׃
For son spurns father,
Daughter rises up against mother,
Daughter-in-law against mother-in-law—
A man’s own household
Are his enemies.
וַֽאֲנִי֙ בַּיהֹוָ֣ה אֲצַפֶּ֔ה אוֹחִ֖ילָה לֵאלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י יִשְׁמָעֵ֖נִי אֱלֹהָֽי׃
Yet I will look to GOD,
I will wait for the God who saves me,
My God will hear me.
אַֽל־תִּשְׂמְחִ֤י אֹיַ֙בְתִּי֙ לִ֔י כִּ֥י נָפַ֖לְתִּי קָ֑מְתִּי כִּֽי־אֵשֵׁ֣ב בַּחֹ֔שֶׁךְ יְהֹוָ֖ה א֥וֹר לִֽי׃ {פ}
Do not rejoice over me,
O my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I rise again;
Though I sit in darkness, GOD is my light.
Also as far as the head covering goes it is good in the winter since heat escapes rapidly in the cold but one needs to make sure it is free from witch hairs and the like that can control your mind Heaven forbid. Also in moderate weather it can "fry" your soul and cause blasphemy Heaven forbid by trapping it according to Malbim on EzekiEl 13:18 so its necessary to pick a light one with good airflow and take it off if a person starts feeling uncomfortable. I believe I remember possibly reading years ago I think from Rambam that the soul is made mostly from the element of fire and there is a Proverb that says the Neshamah (3rd level of soul corresponding to the air in the ears -the right Binah/Understanding and the left Tevunah/Discernment [side note: air of the mouth is Nefesh corresponding to Nukvah, the Malchut of the 6 Sefirot above, Zeir Anpin, who is Leah and Rachel, but the more important is Leah. Nose - Ruach, the right is Israel and the left Yaakov. Eyes - Chayyah/Lifeforce is Wisdom, the soul of the soul and cannot be contained by the body like the previous 3 - [the light of the eyes is relatively external and the eyelid is like a curtain]. The highest, Yechidah, Oneness, is the cranium and not comparable to the other levels of soul - it is all one. From Eitz Chayim of Arizal]) is the candle of HaShem and just as a candle needs airflow for exhaust fumes, thick head veils can "snuff" someone's soul from eternal existence Ana Hashem Hoshiyeinu! Even though it says it is the air of the ears, there is a Chayyah of the 3 lower souls and since it says Yechidah is all one I would imagine it makes sense to say it contains Chayyah if it is all one. If you look at a thermogram of a naked person you can see a lot of heat escapes at the top of the head where people place Kippot. Maybe some rubber or an insulating gemstone like diamond, ruby, sapphire, or emerald (they can be very inexpensive lab made) would be good to feature since Kippot can be a bed for those electric dust drones.
I found the place where Rashi shares a novelty based on one letter in the root. YirmiYah 9:23
כִּ֣י אִם־בְּזֹ֞את יִתְהַלֵּ֣ל הַמִּתְהַלֵּ֗ל הַשְׂכֵּל֮ וְיָדֹ֣עַ אוֹתִי֒ כִּ֚י אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה עֹ֥שֶׂה חֶ֛סֶד מִשְׁפָּ֥ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בָּאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי־בְאֵ֥לֶּה חָפַ֖צְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה׃ {ס}
But only in this should one glory:
In being earnestly devoted to Me.
For I GOD act with kindness,
Justice, and equity in the world;
For in these I delight
—declares GOD.
Rashi: that he understands Heb. השכיל, like (Exod. 8:11) “making heavy (הכבד)” (Enteliant in O.F.).
To be fair it also includes the prefix Ha-The
A thought. Both Alef and Ayin are essentially placeholders for vowels (they have no sound). Alef, a Vav and two Yuds, represents HaShem and Ayin a Nun and a Vav, would represent a servant of HaShem who is worthy of the Crown of Torah (the meaning of Ayin is Eye or Wellspring. As mentioned just above the eyes correspond to Lifeforce/Chayah and cannot be contained within a body corresponding to clay/materialism). Ayin is also the first letter of Eitz, tree. Ci HaAdam Eitz - To be a perfect person without any intentional sins and therefore an extension of HaShem, one should be like a pure, clean vessel for the Vav - Oral Torah, Yud - Wisdom (complete Torah), and Nun - One who serves HaShem out of love/fear, and the 10 Sefirot that correspond to the vowels. Nun means fish in Aramaic, the primary commentary language on Hebrew.
Ci HaAdam Eitz - Indeed, the perfect man is (nothing except) wood. (Its written that the redeemed of Zion will be like a stump of an oak or terebinth - Rashi: that casts off its leaves in the winter)
Cesef (silver) and Mechasheif (witchcraft)
When someone is able to affect you with witchcraft even if something small and vile, it is like free silver since you are able to see your fault by where HaShem allowed them to affect you
There are many passages warning against worshipping Molekh. This is not a particular ancient god.
Sanhedrin 64a
דְּתַנְיָא: רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶּן אַנְטִיגְנוֹס אוֹמֵר, מִפְּנֵי מָה תָּפְסָה תּוֹרָה לְשׁוֹן ״מוֹלֶךְ״? כֹּל שֶׁהִמְלִיכוּהוּ עֲלֵיהֶם, אֲפִילּוּ צְרוֹר וַאֲפִילּוּ קֵיסָם
Rabbi Chaninah ben Antignos says, Why does the Torah use the language "Molech"? Everything that they make king over themselves, even a pebble or toothpick.
It is related a little bit above that that
The Sages taught: There was an incident involving a Jew named Sabbeta ben Alas, who rented out his donkey and his services to a certain gentile woman. He was driving his donkey behind her, and when she arrived at Peor, she said to him: Wait here until I go in and come out. After she came out, he said to her: You too wait for me until I go in and come out. She said to him: Aren’t you Jewish? Why, then, are you worshipping idols? He said to her: And what do you care? He entered and defecated before the idol, and wiped himself with its nostril, as he wanted to demean the idol as much as possible. But he was unsuccessful, as the priests of Peor were praising him and saying: No person has ever worshipped it before with this excellent form of worship. Although he intended to demean Ba’al-Peor, he actually worshipped it.
The law is that even if one intends to demean an idol, he/she is liable if they do so in a way that is the customary mode of worshipping that particular idol.
Shemot 15:24
וַיִּלֹּ֧נוּ הָעָ֛ם עַל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹ֖ר מַה־נִּשְׁתֶּֽה׃
And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Yalinu can mean slept on, a metaphor for death.
And the people died upon Moshe. To speak (metaphor for life as its written "So that I may sing to You and not be silent" and "Neither can all who descend to silence [praise You]" in Tehillim) M-h (a name of HaShem) [you shall] drink! When HaShem performers wonders, especially wonders of redemption, it is natural to feel awe and ask "What??? (is happening??)"
16:2-3
(וילינו) [וַיִּלּ֜וֹנוּ]
כׇּל־עֲדַ֧ת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל עַל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹ֖ן בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
In the wilderness, the whole Israelite community grumbled against (slept on/died on) Moses and Aaron.
וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֲלֵהֶ֜ם בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מִֽי־יִתֵּ֨ן מוּתֵ֤נוּ בְיַד־יְהֹוָה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּשִׁבְתֵּ֙נוּ֙ עַל־סִ֣יר הַבָּשָׂ֔ר בְּאׇכְלֵ֥נוּ לֶ֖חֶם לָשֹׂ֑בַע כִּֽי־הוֹצֵאתֶ֤ם אֹתָ֙נוּ֙ אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה לְהָמִ֛ית אֶת־כׇּל־הַקָּהָ֥ל הַזֶּ֖ה בָּרָעָֽב׃ {ס}
The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of יהוה in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots, when we ate our fill of bread! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to starve this whole congregation to death.”
Another face: And the children of Israel said to them "Who [is this] Natan, or Who will give in to Natan, that we will die by the hand of HaShem in The Land. [To] Egypt we will return, upon Seir (Edom/West) the meat (I have heard from Rabbi Efraim Palvanov that Esav is compared to a bull) in/with we will eat bread (prostitutes) to satisfaction. Indeed he has taken us into this wilderness (metaphor for exile) to kill the whole congregation with hunger!
Another face: A They (Heaven) say to the children of Israel, "Who? (should we follow?) -Natan. Who dies (like one of Us, for the sake of the Torah) in the Hand of HaShem in the Land of Egypt in sitting as king or judge (Jastrow on Yashav)o n the pot of meat (the fallen beasts of HaShem [Israel is called the Animal of HaShem]), or on Seir the meat, with (who) we will eat food to satiety (both with Natan and with Seir our brother). Indeed [the house of Natan] brings us forth to the wilderness (outside of our comfort zones) to kill this entire congregation [the ones that are immersed] in evil! (To kill all the members of this congregation that are with evil)
By the way, the actual Torah law according to the Gemara is that it is only forbidden to have licentious relations with an idolator/gentile in the presence of 10 Jewish men (or people?) Moshe forgot this law and Pinchas took it upon himself to spear Zimri since he was having relations with a Moabitess in public. Therefore if you can't find a Kosher wife or at least a Yefet Toar for whatever reason and you feel you may "die from starvation" it may be better to succumb to licentiousness than to cast off the whole Yoke of Torah or have a seminal emission with no chance of children, as Rambam says the ideal laws of sanctity apply to someone who does not have a history of indulgence. It may even be forbidden as adding a commandment to Torah to make a "rabbinic commandment" to say otherwise. Yes one needs to make a security fence around the Commandments but maybe actually adding commandments to make the fence is in violation of making a new religion, like how Adam commanded Chayyah not to even touch the tree although this was permitted and that ended up being their downfall.
There is a story of a sage from the Talmud who would very frequently buy prostitutes. One time one flatulated and said to him "just as that air cannot go back, so too your portion of The World to Come is lost and cannot return". I have heard before that the reason was because he did it so frequently it became like idolatry.
Anyway the story ends with him essentially screaming to Heaven in repentance and dying in the process and Heaven sent forth a voice proclaiming that he has a portion of The World to Come.
A parable: HaShem's Tree of Life has 613 branches (Mitzvot). Pirkei Avot says a tree with many branches is more prone to falling over. If one would count all the Rabbinic "commands" as branches, the Tree of Life would immediately split from the weight of countless branches without even any wind Heaven forbid. The proof is that I have travelled extensively especially in Orthodox Jewish areas and cannot find a single Adam with no intentional sins except me. Therefore we have to see these as leaves, good expressions of Torah values, extensions of the commandments that one can cast off in severe weather to survive. Proof is that it is known that in extenuating circumstances one can violate Rabbinic injunctions.
There is a story of a sage who when he would fall asleep before the night time Shema, would have his son wake him up only to say the first verse. However I recommend also saying the last verse of the 3rd paragraph "I am the Lord your God who takes you forth from the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God." Since one has to remember (possibly vocally) the Exodus from Egypt every day and every night including the days of Mashiach.
One of my favorite gleanings I heard from Rabbi Michael Skobac on Facebook
Why is Matzah eaten as our symbol of freedom during Pesach when it called the Lechem Oni - bread of poverty/affliction and our Egyptian taskmasters fed us Matzah?
It is because a poor person is really free as the rich one is enslaved to maintaining his/her wealth and property "The more property, the more anxiety" -Pirkei Avot. I remember reading a prophecy multiple times (I thought in YeshaYaHu) about HaShem desiring to make Israel poor so we would be focused on spiritual pursuits, although I tried for awhile to find it recently and couldn't.
Sefer Yetzirah says there is nothing higher than ענג delight - Oneg. This is one letter different than עני Oni and it is taught that every letter is made up of small Yuds so these words are even closer. On the other hand, אשר Osher, fortunate, is the same root as middle word of HaShem's name He revealed to Moshe in the flaming thornbush that corresponds to the Sefirah of Keter, Will/Desire - Asher (That). (Also the name of a son of Yaakov, tribe of Yisrael).
Financially rich is עָשִׁיר - still very similar
Therefore we see another proof of the fact that everything is truly good, being rich and poor are both a delight.
Psalm 139:12
darkness is not dark for You;
night is as light as day;
darkness and light are the same.
If you are by yourself like me I think its highly preferable to withhold from giving Tzedakah (charity) and make a reckoning in the future as its written in YechezkEl 16:17:
וַתִּקְחִ֞י כְּלֵ֣י תִפְאַרְתֵּ֗ךְ מִזְּהָבִ֤י וּמִכַּסְפִּי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ וַתַּעֲשִׂי־לָ֖ךְ צַלְמֵ֣י זָכָ֑ר וַתִּזְנִי־בָֽם׃
You took your beautiful things, made of the gold and silver that I had given you, and you made yourself phallic images and fornicated with them.
Rambam says in Hilchot Diot 3:1 that attempting to be overly pious by abstaining from pleasures like an idolatrous monk in Tibet is actually sinful. He quotes the very insightful teaching of our sages on the verse
Badmidbar Numbers 6 :11 He [the Kohen] shall make atonement for him [the Nazarite who abstained from wine], for the sin he committed against his soul.
The sages comment, "If the Nazirite who only abstained from wine stands in need of atonement, how much more so one who deprives himself of all legitimate enjoyments?"
The conclusion is that one should only refrain from that which the Torah has expressly withdrawn from our use, and no one should increase upon that by vows and oaths.
"Do not the prohibitions of the Torah suffice you that you add others for yourself?" - the Sages
Even fasting is included
It is commendable to review Torah even right after learning it as one sage would review a new Dvar Torah 100 times immediately

On the other hand, one should be mindful of Baat Sheva's prophecy in the last chapter of Mishlei that alcohol is not fit for kings and rather for the poor and destitute with no future to laugh and forget about their destitution and pain. It is a known concept that all of Israel are sons of kings. Practically only the actual king is prohibited from alchohol except one cup mixed at least 1/2 with water in the morning that I believe was more of a medical custom. However this was before coffee and I think coffee may be much more preferable especially considering the cultural norm today.
15 Shevat
I once heard from the Arizal that one should spend ones time peeling the layers of Halacha (The sages teach one should split it into thirds 1/3 Tanakh, Mishnah/Halacha, and Gemara). I thought for years his original intention
was to consider the deeper spiritual concepts embodied within the Halachot. I saw recently that he could have also meant learning all of the different practical applications of Halachot. In this way one will be prepared for anything and wont need to consult. Either way I think when one is learning Tanakh and Gemara one should also be considering the deeper faces embodied and apply the spiritual lessons like Halachot to fit both the teaching of the sages and the Arizal. Proof is that I once learned from Mishlei that one should invest much more effort into understanding the Torah one knows than continuing to accumulate wisdom. Presumably since things get forgotten Heaven save us. I only learned this once so it may be a little off but I dont like to learn Mishlei besides the last chapter since I'm quite certain they were written by Ash-medai as every time I would be learning them in the past and watch the old house owners videos he would mention that Ash-medai gave Shlomo a book of Wisdom. Shlomo didnt even know how to handle Mukseh when David HaMelech passed and Kohelet says he puked out his Wisdom.
Edit: I never really apply the concepts hidden within unless there is a Halacha or teaching from one of the sages that it concurs with, otherwise they are considerations.
Not only is being a poor man a delight because he is more free to study Torah, but also because he is able to witness miraculous salvations from HaShem, wheras the rich man can rely on his wealth for most problems. Proof is that the snake was cursed to eat dust and one commentary says that it could be seen as a blessing to be able to eat dust since it is abundant. The reason it is a curse is because it is now much less reliant upon HaShem
Here is an awesome commentary from the Chabad Rebbeim on the different Hebrew words for Man, and also on the actions of Shimon and Levi after decimating Shechem and being criticized by Yaakov Avinu:
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2317447/jewish/Chapter-6-Sichos-Kodesh.htm
Malbim says on YeshaYaHu 13:23 that Enosh are small men whose blood have been poured out. Targum Yonatan says Enosh are those who fear HaShem and Adam are those who observe Halacha
16 Shevat
I asked Rabbi Simcha Bart of Chabad if the Rebbeim ever gave a similar Maamar on the different words for Rock, Even, Tzur, and Sela and he sent me this diamond:
Here is something from our website. It is based on the explanation that Tzur is a "young" (or "small") rock that Moshe was supposed to hit, as opposed to Sela being a "mature" or old rock, that he was supposed to speak to.
“And speak to the rock before their eyes that it shall give its waters.” (20:8)
QUESTION: Why now did Hashem instruct Moshe to speak to the rock whereas in Rephidim (Shemot 17:6), when they thirsted for water and complained, Hashem told him, “You shall strike the rock and water will come forth”?
"ANSWER: Hashem said to Moshe, “When the child is young his teacher hits him and teaches him. Once he becomes older, he reprimands him with words. Similarly, when the rock was small you hit it, but now you shall speak to it. Teach it and it will bring forth water” (Yalkut Shimoni).
"This may be further expounded: The rock is analogous to people who at times seem to be “hard as rock” and obstinately refuse to direct their lives morally and ethically as a Jew should.
"The incident in Rephidim occurred before the Torah was given. The only method available then to guide a Jew in the right path was to strike him harshly. The episode in our parshah however, took place after the Torah was given. The way to reach a Jew now, is not through striking him, but through talking to him with sincerity and warmth and introducing him to the beauty of Torah.
"The Torah assures that with such an approach one will successfully penetrate and “venatan meimav” — “he shall give his waters.” One will eventually bring to surface the beautiful “pintele Yid” — the spark of Judaism hidden within him."
There's another explanation:
“And he struck the rock with his staff twice.” (20:11)
QUESTION: Why did he strike the rock twice?
"ANSWER: The letters of the word “sela” (סלע) — “rock” — spelled out in full are סמ"ך-למ"ד-עי"ן. The middle letters of the name of each letter spell the word “mayim” (מים) — “water.” Thus, in a rock — “sela” — there is hidden water — “mayim.”
Moshe, by striking the rock twice, knocked off the first letters as well as the last letters, leaving the middle letters (מים), and water flowed forth abundantly."
You can find both of these here: https://www.chabad.org/2826417
In that link you can also find that the Gemara gives the difference between Adam and HaAdam - HaAdam include(d/s) non Jews also.
I also want to stress the importance of being on guard when outside of your house or when seeing the image of a necromancer/witch curse you with their hand or foot. It can only take 1 or 2 seconds before you get severely hurt and your soul tazed to feel spiritually weak Heaven forbid. Although football is bloody and gay and forbidden, I want to apply the lesson my defensive back (people who defend against recievers catching the ball) coach in high who would try to arouse zeal in us like a lion and passionately say "This is a no fly zone! If someone wants to fly on us we make them pay (hit them as hard as we can)". If some G-d forsaken soul wants to meet you in the field and try to take your soul, I think its best to immediately devour them and uproot them from existence forever like the cow eats the grass (by the roots) with YeshaYaHu's curse. When I push lightly and pull close with a prop I do not get a pleasant chuckle like I do when I just force them to be show bread or cease to be forever. If you have to work with one then cursing them like this will just cause another dead soul to fly in that body that may be more kind anyway.
I thought of more evidence that Mishlei was written by Ash-medai. The name Mishlei means "My Rulers" similar to HaShem's Name corresponding to Malchut - "My Masters" - that would contain Elokim as the final culmination Sefirah, corresponding to Gevurah/Judgement where the Sat-n's are correlated with (the left hand and foot). Also 3 of the 4 letters of Mishlei are used in Ash-medai's name.
בְּקוֹל חֲמִישִׁי אוֹמֵר. עַד מָתַי עָצֵל תִּשְׁכָּב מָתַי תָּקוּם מִשְּׁנָתֶךָ: (משלי ו ט)
In the 5th call the Rooster is saying
Until when will you sleep on the sluggards? My dead (you need to) arise from their sleep! (From your Mishnah)
18 Shevat
Rambam says only to eat garlic and onions occasionally. They are strong aphrodisiacs and actually for a single person it would probably be best to avoid them or it will be torturous (from experience). On the other hand it would be very wise for a couple who has been together for years and the man has trouble "coming to the table" to eat garlic and onions Erev Shabbat.
I once heard Rabbi Yehudah Fetaya say in Minchat Yehudah to a man who decided to go to sleep instead of to have relations with his wife "the righteous man will come to the table".
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, it is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
In Ainecha, the Nun and Yud come together to look close to a Mem. Therefore it can read "Open your person (Am can mean relative, your spouse is your kin)/people weekly (same root as sated), sate yourself with food/bread".
This fits with Rambam's Halacha in Diot above that a man should have relations Erev Shabbat (if he feels physically strong) and that when a man feels heavy from his loins and has many erections despite trying not to, it is medically advisable to have relations.
Although one may argue that Rabbis have stated this precept is for Torah scholars, what are you possibly doing if not striving as hard as you can to become a Torah scholar? Like mentioned above, Adam lost his perception of Gan Eden because he became fascinated with his ego and went to work on vain material non eternal things, as its written "The World will wear out like a garment". Nevertheless like Rambam says a man's wife is always permitted to him, but I would argue unless you are weakening yourself to the point that you're risking breaking Mitzvot and dying forever, Heaven forbid.
"Lest you become impoverished" - If you do not satisfy your wife, you increase the chances of divorce or "plowed" - adultery where one would have to execute, "plow" his previous soul mate Heaven save us!
Bereishet 18:27
וַיַּ֥עַן אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַיֹּאמַ֑ר הִנֵּה־נָ֤א הוֹאַ֙לְתִּי֙ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל־אֲדֹנָ֔י וְאָנֹכִ֖י עָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר׃
Abraham answered and said “Behold-now I venture to speak to my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes.
I once read a commentary or Midrash that after Avraham said this, these parables became very popular throughout the peoples, as Avraham was known as a "Prince of G-d" in their midst (23:6).
Gray in Hebrew is אפור, Afor, very similar to Afar (dust, sand, mud, mortar) and Ayfer (ash and also the same letters as Afar - pasture/meadow) used by Avraham. It is known that trees grown alone (or sometimes right next to another tree of its same type) in a field (in this case meadow or pasture) grow much more quickly and get massive compared to those in crowded orchards or forests.
Anyway I think gray is a great color since it is a remembrance of Avraham who is the Right Hand of HaShem (Kindness). Also of a pasture, and as mentioned above Sadai, my fields, is almost identical to Sh-adai, The Almighty. White on the other hand, Lavan, white, is the same word as to clean, which is a great kindness also as white is associated with the Sefirah of Chesed, but can be painful.
More faces on the Shem SHDAI - Shad is breast, so Shadi would be "my breast".
Demons are called "Sheidim" or Sheid in singular, Shin Dalet. I'm having a little trouble locating the exact source right now but I remember reading that demons are compared to either hot baths or showers and also that hot baths or showers are called pleasures.
Another idea. Jastrow on Sa'ir:
שָׂעִיר m. (b. h.; שָׂעַר) 1) goat. Yoma VI, 2 ש׳ המשתלח, v. שָׁלַח. Ib. 7 פר וש׳ הנשרפין the bullock and the goat designated to be burnt. Zeb. V, 1; a. fr.—Pl. שְׂעִירִים, שְׂעִירִין. Ib. 2. Yoma VI, 1; a. fr. —2) demon. B. Bath. 25ᵃ, v. סָעַר II. Ber. 64ᵃ ש׳ בש׳ מיחלף goat and demon may interchange (both going by the name of saʿir).— Pl. as ab. Lev. R. s. 22, v. שֵׁד; a. e. —3) shower. Pl. as ab. Sifré Deut. 306 (ref. to Deut. XXXII, 2) מה ש׳ הללו וכ׳ as the showers come down on the plants &c.; Yalk. ib. 942, v. סָעַר II. —4) hairy. Gen. R. s. 65.
See that it can be a demon or showers. A name of Esav, the West, is Se'ir (Dvarim 33:2). They often use an amazing ASMR tazer that is like getting 2-3x the pleasure of a shower but dry. However it touches on licentiousness and should definitely not be used in sensitive areas but I would compare them to massages that are amazing in our times especially considering people's teeth are on edge and its hard to find someone that speaks without their hands, and better someone massage us than prick us or the like and die on us Heaven forbid.
The Stork is saying (Yeshayahu 40:2) Speak to the heart of YiruShalayim and call to her, indeed her period of exile is filled, indeed her iniquity is forgiven, indeed she has taken from The Hand of HaShem double in all her sins.
-We should be extremely grateful it is only double and not 7 times, as that is a verse in Vayikra 26:18 -
וְאִ֨ם־עַד־אֵ֔לֶּה לֹ֥א תִשְׁמְע֖וּ לִ֑י וְיָסַפְתִּי֙ לְיַסְּרָ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֔ם שֶׁ֖בַע עַל־חַטֹּאתֵיכֶֽם׃
And if, for all that, you do not obey Me, I will go on to discipline you sevenfold for your sins,
When a Jewish person gets caught stealing they have to pay double, as the Wolf sings about, and since every sin is like a theft against Heaven paying back double is fair. But since we had (and/or have) many sins, especially considering the concept of Gilgulim (Reincarnations) with sins accumulated from past lives and that we are in the end of times, 5785 out of 6000 potential years, paying back double was/is extremely expensive (painful). Let us always remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and some day Heaven Willing soon, HaShem will remove the spirit of impurity from the Earth as is mentioned in the Neviim (Prophets) - Although a person will still be put to death for other sins like breaking Shabbat after 2 people warning him/her etc.
Returning to Seir:
Sheir is to measure and the Tehillim says "He goes along weeping carrying the measure of seed [Meshech HaZara] or Meshech, the arm. He will surely return with songs of joy, a bearer of his sheaves!"
The West is called Meshech as its written in YeshaYaHu 18:2 אֶל־גּוֹי֙ מְמֻשָּׁ֣ךְ וּמוֹרָ֔ט
"To a nation Memushach (drawn out) and polished". We all know the "polished standard" as I call it of many Western people in professional affairs compared to other cultures. Also, remember that 18:1 says Woe to the land of treacherous shadowy etc flying crickets that is beyond the rivers of Cush (Africa), and as this would have been prophesied East of Africa, it is very fitting for it to be the West, especially considering the slave trade and black culture in America, as beyond, Ibur, can mean to pass over to (they passed over the Atlantic to take slaves) and also for forgiving the sin of (the patriarch of Africa, Cham, castrated and raped Noach to have less nations and therefore more power to himself). Nevertheless HaShem only remembers the sin of a father on a child if the child is also wicked. But how many righteous people have you met compared to blasphemers/witches?
I have also seen Memushach translated as "stretched out" and many westerners look like they literally stretched themselves to fit with the culture of loving tall people, especially men. Alternatively many westerners take steroids that stretch the body out (and does permanent damage in swelling the organs. Are people not coarse enough that they should then swell their hearts?) "My son, do not give your strength to the woman (also a metaphor for this world), to those who slay kings" - Mishlei 31:3. The only thing a person should "swell" themselves about, as mentioned above in YirmiYah 9:23, is how much he or she makes HaShem heavy and possibly in being able to apply Torah and its concepts practically, or alternatively possibly in one's Chidushei Da'at, their own Novelties in Knowledge (ideas one came up with themselves from Torah that fits with Tradition). Definitely not in how much one has made the gym their house of Bitul (Negligence of) Torah and how much they can now bench press unless they are about to use that strength as an act of service to HaShem, as the preceding verse says "Let not the wise glory in his wisdom, nor the rich in his wealth, nor the strong in his strength". Actually we should probably forbid celebrating victories in all levels of sports (and make competitive sports forbidden as Shachak (dust/sport/mockery that HaShem chastises the nations about and Bitul Torah, also sometimes Bitul Nefesh [negligence of the soul - even in more mild sports like soccer/futbol people break ankles and the like]) based on this verse as it is also a little bit of Lashon Hara/bloodshed to put the losers down by celebrating the way Heaven allowed you to move your clay/donkey, as a name of HaShem is "The Lord of Hosts", and This King specifically told us not to glorify ourselves in our strength.
As the western man, or Lavan, used to tell me when I was playing sports for exercise growing up, "Take a hike!"
On the other hand it is a Mitzvah to keep the body in shape as if one gets a layer of fat over the kidneys, it advises him/her not to repent (Rashi) and fat is also associated with arrogance and "kicking" (casting off the Yoke of Heaven) at the end of Dvarim ("The Upright grew fat and kicked"). Personally I do 10-20 varying kinds of pushups and situps, and a curl and/or tricep extension to a shoulder press with 20 lbs dumbbells every day (except Shabbat) and try to hike around the forest every day too. The hiking also fits with Rabbi Nachman's teaching that one should seclude themselves in nature for about an hour a day to be alone with and meditate to/speak to HaShem. There's no reason to fear the heathen that as shown from Bereisheit, HaShem will make them like vegetables/herbs before us if we are constantly meditating on Torah or a Mitzvah like a fish only surviving in water, including business, as it says "There shall be no destitute among you" and the Talmud says on this it is forbidden to allow yourself to become poor/destitute/needy (except of course on Shabbat [to think about] unless it is previously finished business).
If you say that it is a good thing that Shachak can be defined as dust since Avraham called himself dust, I once heard from one of Rabbi Adam Polinovsky's videos last summer that there is a large difference in that this term of dust, Shachak, actually is not suitable for growing food.
If you cite the Gemara in Avodah Zara 3b that HaShem "sports/laughs" with the Leviathan based on Tehillim 104:26 for 3 hours a day (so how can I speak down so heavily on sports?), you have a good point and that is why safe sports are permitted. However we need to always keep in mind that one of the reasons of the destruction of the second Beit Hamikdash was due to playing sports on Shabbat - Rambam says exercising to the point of sweating is forbidden on Shabbat!
Edit: Actually the conclusion of that Gemara is that since the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash HaShem no longer sports, but instead teaches Torah to school children for that 3 hour time block. Nevertheless sports for a productive purpose (exercise) are of course permitted (making money through sports is counterproductive to society as people begin 'worshipping' teams and 'trash talking', even by critiquing their own team's players, while wasting 2-4 hours of their loaned existences watching [sometimes even days and thousands of dollars to travel] instead of pleasing the Ancient of Days and being crowned with 370,000 crowns by Him through revealing a new Novelty of Torah, or bringing the 4 Amot of the Shechinah into the World by studying Halacha/Rambam all for free in their home!
"It is the truth (or beauty, balance) for a man to dwell in his house" -YeshaYaHu
Find a way to make money that actually benefits people
I've noticed when I "anoint" (rub) olive oil on my whole head I usually produce a lot more Torah that day or the next than when I leave myself "dry" Heaven forbid. Or in the prayer of Ash-medai in Mishlei-Proverbs "May your head never lack oil"
Ive seen before (I think Rashi on Tanakh) that just as ה Hey is open on the bottom, when someone falls, they descend all the way to the bottom of Gehinnom. May we always strengthen ourselves especially through the final Mem (32 teeth - speaking [remember the covenant of the lips] and no forbidden sorcery with the hands/feet) alluded to in the last level of the word the highest level of man, Adam. Another novelty on this word is Dam, Blood, as I have heard before that one can actually put and count an Alef in front of every word. A novelty on Dam - Dy Mem. The final Mem is sufficient (to redeem oneself with speaking and then live forever in bliss revealing the secrets of Torah, the meaning of final Mem as opposed to the open Mem in the beginning and middle of words that alludes to the revealed Torah)
-Alef Dy Mem: For Alef (HaShem. In order to arise from His challenge of this world, called the Sat-n, alluded to in Bereisheit by the excessive words "in the land of Canaan"... [-Ohr HaChaim. He also says that the existence of the Sat-n is the incentive to overcome Him.]) ...it is sufficient to use the power of the final Mem, the teeth (mouth).
-Or, to be a master (Aluf), one has to become sufficiently knowledgable in the secrets of Torah
Why?
Because Alef Dalet Mem. HaShem (specifically His servants) are impoverished to the reality of the final Mem being as strong and unmoving as a doorpost. The only way I was able to redeem myself from dying from falling off that cliff after doing something ignorant with my hand was by calling to HaShem to save me. However I think according to Rambam even praying in one's mind is sufficient in severe times.
I once saw a western (Esau was a master of knowledge/science -Bereisheit) scientist's video showing his results that speaking positively around open water changed its molecular structure. This was about 7 years ago and back then I saw the reinforcement of the importance of saying Berachot on all food. However I see now that speaking and being around good/evil speech also affects our blood! The sages teach when someone speaks Lashon Hara, they shed the subject's blood, their own blood, and also the listeners' bloods (even when the listener denies believing it [as is Halacha], he/she still usually wrestles with wondering in the back of the mind)
Edit: After googling it it was actually a Japanese scientist (although Japan is semi Western and practically modern Asia is comparative in their scientific knowledge [- Are you getting a Toyota or Jeep/Chevy? The right answer is Toyota if you don't know. Teslas still aren't practical for the masses including me]) and many people say it is psuedoscience. Lol I apologize if so however he still could be right. Nevertheless I think I remember the video I watched was an older white haired Causcasian scientist and it is probably true because if that were to be accepted as mainstream science, the Erev Rav (Great Night - the Kingdom of Evil) would be much less effective in their attempts to kill us through trapping us with speech, as mentioned at the top, Heaven save us Ana!
Or, It is sufficient for us to be together with HaShem for eternity learning the secrets of Torah
For a Derech Eretz lesson I bought an 04 Toyota Camry with 179k miles back in April for 3k including a few parts and labor I needed after a pre purchase inspection off Facebook Marketplace. It is perfect for me - the only maintenance since has been an oil change, it is smooth, and the interior is wood or nice faux wood. I haven't even put it in a garage and this winter has been strong and I haven't noticed any decline. I think I've put about 8k miles on it. I hear older Honda's are like this too (but not new). Researching this before buying saved me many thousands of dollars. Many people were telling me to buy new to avoid maintenance but nevertheless anything can happen and if or when it does, the bill on a new car is multiple times that of an older one. Yet most of the polished people could never fathom not going into 20k of debt in order to be seen with a new car that really brings the evil eye on them and multiplies their troubles. Just like Esau is compared to a pig and the pig loves stretching out its split hoofs to show its pure part
19 Shevat
A better novelty on ה Hey. Rashi says at the beginning of Bereisheit that [although it is true one who falls falls all the way to the depths due to its open bottom] HaShem has provided a window in the top left (corresponding to NorthEast - the top of the letter box is actually East not North [in the same way the Mishkan faced Jerusalem that was East of the wilderness]) for sinners to be able to pass through and get back up to Heaven.
The sun and to have relations is the same word Shin Mem Shin - Shemesh. Torah study is compared to light and studying Torah is also a metaphor for relations. There are also many health benefits to getting some sunlight every day.
Another example why Mishlei Proverbs is bloody - "All who go to her house cannot return, neither do they achieve the paths of life" -this is written about idolators. However, in the words of The Living G-d of Life
YirmiYah 3:22
שׁ֚וּבוּ בָּנִ֣ים שׁוֹבָבִ֔ים אֶרְפָּ֖ה מְשׁוּבֹתֵיכֶ֑ם הִנְנוּ֙ אָתָ֣נוּ לָ֔ךְ כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
Turn back, O rebellious children,
I will heal your afflictions!
“Here we are, we come to You,
For You, O ETERNAL One, are our God!"
YechezkEl 18:23
הֶחָפֹ֤ץ אֶחְפֹּץ֙ מ֣וֹת רָשָׁ֔ע נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֑ה הֲל֛וֹא בְּשׁוּב֥וֹ מִדְּרָכָ֖יו וְחָיָֽה׃ {ס}
Is it my desire that the wicked shall die?—says the Sovereign GOD. It is rather that they shall turn back from their ways and live.
33:11
אֱמֹ֨ר אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם חַי־אָ֣נִי ׀ נְאֻ֣ם ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יֱהֹוִ֗ה אִם־אֶחְפֹּץ֙ בְּמ֣וֹת הָרָשָׁ֔ע כִּ֣י אִם־בְּשׁ֥וּב רָשָׁ֛ע מִדַּרְכּ֖וֹ וְחָיָ֑ה שׁ֣וּבוּ שׁ֜וּבוּ מִדַּרְכֵיכֶ֧ם הָרָעִ֛ים וְלָ֥מָּה תָמ֖וּתוּ בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}
Say to them: As I live—declares the Sovereign GOD—it is not My desire that the wicked shall die, but that the wicked turn from their [evil] ways and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways, that you may not die, O House of Israel!
A quick thought:
The sages teach, "Ain Kemach Ain Torah" (No flour, no Torah)
Instead, read Ayin Kemach, Ayin Torah
When one evil eyes the flour (servants of HaShem who cried to Him that are edible/fruitful even if they later withered like wheat), one evil eyes the Torah (Infinite Will and Wisdom of HaShem), essentially an act of blasphemy Heaven forbid
A proof from Chumash "I will bless those that bless you and curse those who curse you"
Socks may be just as deadly as head coverings when inside. Notice how good it feels to take your socks off. There is no mention of socks in Tanakh, only Mishnah
when the Jewish people had to write down the Oral Torah due to the fallen state..
Even when I have a head covering outside (it was ~20 degrees F today) I have to take it off every few minutes from the heat.
Shoham, Onyx, is an anagram for HaShem. Exodus "In every place I allow a remembrance of My Name, I will bless you". There are two Shoham stones on the straps above the rest of the stones of the Choshen Mishpat (Priestly Prophetic Breastplate of the High Priest). There is a Halacha that when stacking Sefarim (books of Torah) one has to put books of Chumash (5 Books of Moshe) on top of Prophets on top of Writings and it may continue with Mishnah then Gemara but all other books, Halacha, Mussar, etc. go underneath those. Therefore we can see that the Shoham in one interpretation is "ruling" over the rest of the stones (including the Diamond, Sapphire, Emerald, and Ruby). I have also seen the sages in Berachot novelize the Torah by ascribing precedence to the first subject in a list. Actually Ohr HaChaim does this in Bereisheit when HaShem lists the sons of Noach "Shem, Cham, and Yafet" - he says they are listed in order of their intelligence. Therefore I like to wear a Shoham necklace and ring.
Dvarim 33:25
בַּרְזֶ֥ל וּנְחֹ֖שֶׁת מִנְעָלֶ֑ךָ וּכְיָמֶ֖יךָ דׇּבְאֶֽךָ׃
"[Asher's] borders (lit. doorbolt) will be iron and copper
And your security last all your days."
Yamecha, days, can be novelized as Yamincha, your right hand. Doorbolt is nearly identical to Naal, Sandal. When a person wears a metal ring they direct all the electricity and electric radiation to their extremity, away from the heart and brain. I think a gemstone ring is much preferable otherwise a plain metal ring might increase electrical reception since there is no grounding stone.
"Iron and copper from the place of your sandal and your right hand for strengh(/rest? not a common word)"
-Davecha I would say is close to Davekus - Cleaving, or Dibuk, glue. Davekus is the concept of cleaving to HaShem. Therefore perhaps gemstone rings and maybe something corresponding near the foot like an ankle bracelet with metal touching a gemstone will help us cleave to HaShem instead of letting destitute people discourage our hearts with their electrical tazers Heaven forbid!
Alternatively even if my scientific thought process is wrong, it is known that everything that takes up a place (space) in this world has a soul and a corresponding entity in the World Above. "Carrying" something is considered a form of labor forbidden outside the house without a city fence (Eruv) on Shabbat (unless it is an established garment during the week like a specific ring or watch). When a person touches anything he/she is affected by its temperature, texture, and electrical properties. Therefore maybe just by carrying around metal (HaShem is called HaTzur - The Rock, in the end of Dvarim by Moshe) and how much more so Shoham stones a person merits blessing by having those sources Above mix with his source Above. Nevertheless this is speculation except for the fact that Shoham is a remembrance of HaShem
Also I was wrong about brushing with milk instead of water because of the sugar in it, sorry about that maybe its just a good beverage choice as in "a land of milk and honey"
Rambam says not to eat dairy frequently however dairy is associated with Chesed, Kindness, and there is a severe spiritual and electrical war going on so people may need to support themselves heavily on HaShem's Staff (Pleasures)
-Actually my Rosh Yeshivah in Dvar YeruShalayim, Rabbi Baruch Horowitz specifically told me its very important for me not to restrain myself from eating because of this back in 2018.
The Alter Rebbe teaches in Tanya that science is the "clothes" of Torah, like the peel of a fruit. For many fruits, including the apple that the Song of the Apple compares to HaShem, the peel is the most nutritious and beautiful part. The Gra says one should study a little science every day. I find it a great pleasure to see the correlations between science and The Parable of The Ancient One (A name of Torah according to Rashi)
1 Samuel 24:14
כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹאמַ֗ר מְשַׁל֙ הַקַּדְמֹנִ֔י מֵרְשָׁעִ֖ים יֵ֣צֵא רֶ֑שַׁע וְיָדִ֖י לֹ֥א תִֽהְיֶה־בָּֽךְ׃
As the Ancient Proverb has it: ‘Wickedness comes from the wicked!’ My hand will never touch you.
Rashi also gives another interesting face on this: From the wicked comes wickedness. *So let it not come from me even if you deserve it.—Radak. The Holy One, Blessed is He, destines the wicked to fall into the hand of the wicked like himself. And where did the Torah say this, "And God destined it into his hand," *Shemos 21:13. as it is stated in Maseches Makos.
The wicked man is called HaShem's Sword in Tehillim
Grass (the parable for coarse and wicked people) has the shape of a sword and also a snake
If you think that most people are both treacherous witch crickets and real people, think again. This is only their "pig hoof" as Moshe warns in Dvarim Haazinu "I will vex you with a non people". Notice that all the names and images around you are custom made for you and every interaction is carefully calculated and scripted. Tehillim says that the wicked are exempt from the frail toil of man. Who knows if they live in the underground societies (my guess) or the wilderness as the Prophecy says "Behold the end of the nations: desert, wilderness, and steppe".
However Tehillim says that the portion of the servants of HaShem is to be with the rich. Therefore the people you actually interact with are actually extremely wealthy. One time airport security in Dulles was harassing me and I asked him how much he paid to be there and harass me. He got a demonic like look in his eyes and said billions. Another person years later said trillions. Does HaShem through their god (Sat-n) allow them to actually live in those luxurious houses when they forsook Heaven or are they "for show"? Who knows
מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּ֣י אִם־עַבְדִּ֔י וְחֵרֵ֖שׁ כְּמַלְאָכִ֣י אֶשְׁלָ֑ח מִ֤י עִוֵּר֙ כִּמְשֻׁלָּ֔ם וְעִוֵּ֖ר כְּעֶ֥בֶד יְהֹוָֽה׃
Who is so blind as My servant,
So deaf as the messenger I send?
Who is so blind as the chosen *chosen Meaning of Heb. uncertain. one,
So blind as GOD’s servant?
JPS 2023 can't define Mesholam but suggests 'chosen one'. Jastrow has Mishlam as completion, end, and BDB has very similar words meaning accomplished, wholehearted, sincere, and paid. It looks like to me Mashal, to make ruler (Meshal is Parable), and Shalom, as in a name of Mashiach, Sar Shalom - Prince of Peace.
My prescription is -7.25 -7 therefore without glasses I would be considered legally blind. Cheiresh (deaf) can also mean to plow or to be mute. I think many times a day about the teaching of the sages in the Gemara that one's occupation in this world is to make himself silent like a mute unless he is teaching Torah (I also have to speak for business purposes - an extension of Torah). In fact when I am not saying anything Torah related my speech gets garbled in my mouth and I become subject to the electricity. Sefer Bahir gives a novelty on זהב Zahav, Gold. The Zayin in front on the right represents Zachar-Male, masculinity. The Veit is representing the left side, femininity as this letter alludes to the world of Binah, Understanding is on the top left half of the Tree of Sefirot and the left side corresponds to female.
Bereisheit 2:18
וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹא־ט֛וֹב הֱי֥וֹת הָֽאָדָ֖ם לְבַדּ֑וֹ אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לּ֥וֹ עֵ֖זֶר כְּנֶגְדּֽוֹ׃
And said יהוה Elohim, “It is not good for the Human to be alone; I will make a fitting counterpart for him.”
Rashi: עזר כנגדו A HELP MATE FOR HIM — (כנגדו literally, opposite, opposed to him) If he is worthy she shall be a help to him; if he is unworthy she shall be opposed to him, to fight him (Yevamot 63a).
In the words of the famous Shabbat song Lecha Dodi - Go, My beloved, to Likrat (to greet and is also used in terms of a battle) Callah (The bride, similar to Challah, the Shabbat bread)
Another Derech Eretz (way of the land) lesson if you have to buy glasses. Do not buy from Zenni as although it may be the best option they come from the snake house of Yehuda and I can't even wear them around people because that person gets evil eyed to the point that they fall on me. Also they disguise my countenance to apparently look evil since people strike me when they see me with them on but are relieved if they see me without.
Shevat 20
About the custom made signs and images in the towns and cities to cricket chirp the living people its written in Habbakuk 2:12
ה֛וֹי בֹּנֶ֥ה עִ֖יר בְּדָמִ֑ים וְכוֹנֵ֥ן קִרְיָ֖ה בְּעַוְלָֽה׃
Woe [to] you who have built a town with blood,
And established a city with infamy
15
ה֚וֹי מַשְׁקֵ֣ה רֵעֵ֔הוּ מְסַפֵּ֥חַ חֲמָתְךָ֖ וְאַ֣ף שַׁכֵּ֑ר לְמַ֥עַן הַבִּ֖יט עַל־מְעוֹרֵיהֶֽם׃
Ah, you who make others drink to intoxication
As you pour out your wrath,
In order to gaze upon their nakedness!
This verse is also in regards to the witchcraft as Moshe says in Haazinu "The venom of cruel serpents is their wine". There is a deeper layer you can find in Sefer Bahir
Update on the Derech Eretz of the 04 camry if you are arguing that you need a 4WD for weather. This car handles snow and ice like a 4WD and I believe better than at least one of them I have driven before in snow. When I got the inspection in April he let me slide on my front or rear tire baldness and I haven't replaced them. Alternatively maybe try a 20 year old Rav4 or something if you live further north than central PinaShalomYa (PA. Pina means keystone so its fitting since it was called the 'Keystone State')
Also I used to get harassed by cops all the time and they would spawn out of nowhere. Since I put a US flag on the bumper in April like a wolf in sheepskin I never get pulled over
HaShem Willing such things will be irrelevant very soon
Every day I think I can immediately redeem us if I take a trip to that last remaining Iraqi synagogue from the verse mentioned above in Micah 4:10 תֵצְאִ֨י מִקִּרְיָ֜ה וְשָׁכַ֣נְתְּ בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה וּבָ֤את עַד־בָּבֶל֙ שָׁ֣ם תִּנָּצֵ֔לִי שָׁ֚ם יִגְאָלֵ֣ךְ יְהֹוָ֔ה מִכַּ֖ף אֹיְבָֽיִךְ
You came forth from the city (either Tzfat or YiruShalayim) and dwell in the field (the West) and come until Babylon, there I will save you and HaShem will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
There is also this prophecy from YeshaYaHu 17:3:
Only gleanings shall be left of him,
As when one beats an olive tree:
Two berries or three on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the boughs of the crown
—declares the ETERNAL, the God of Israel.
From my internet research that seems very fitting for the Meir Taweig synagogue in Baghdad
Anyway after not working for 3 months and no one supporting me or my donations getting stolen it could leave me heavily in debt or desolate and having to move back with my father who has the potential to rumble the house and torture me Heaven forbid. (actually I would probably drive to a random desolate town in the South and squat in an abandoned house before I do that). The fact that the top right corner of the Dalet ד, representing the poor, extends backwards to the Gimmel ג, representing the rich, teaches that a poor person needs to make him/herself available to receive Tzedakah (Charity, same word in Hebrew as Righteousness)
The Rooster is singing in its third call, "Stand as a pillar of support righteous ones, so that your eternal portion will be doubled."
OR
Stand up righteous people (instead of killing them) to double your portion
I heard from Rabbi Yaron Rueven that when a person is able to convince another to repent and observe Torah, the first person adds 310 worlds (or 310 times all the pleasures of this world) onto their portion.
The sages teach that even when a person begins learning Torah not for the right reasons, it will have an effect on him/her and will eventually come to learn Torah for the sake of Heaven. Therefore if you are already here reading my Torah you are already on my fish hook even if you deny it to yourself
Its a Mitzvah not to fear any person, as its written Dvarim 1:17
לֹ֤א תָג֙וּרוּ֙ מִפְּנֵי־אִ֔ישׁ כִּ֥י הַמִּשְׁפָּ֖ט לֵאלֹהִ֣ים ה֑וּא
"You shall not fear (lit. dread, whelp, quarrel, or sojourn [from]) a man. Indeed the judgement to Elohim it is." I don't intend to speak like Yoda rather I translated the Hebrew literally to help people learn.
Anyway the ones that hate me I can immediately uproot like a cow eats grass with the verse from Isaiah 65:15 at the top
We should be extremely grateful that sages in the past few centuries have opened up the gates of the secret layers of Torah. The Understanding of the Hebrew letters was not even known one generation after Sinai:
https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/626676.1?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en
After the initial novel interpretation from Alef to Taf (like A-Z), they use the AT-BASH, where Alef is associated with the last letter Taf, Beit the second to last Shin, and so on, and continue to use other letter combination codes like this you can find in Sefer Yetzirah with Aryeh Kaplan.
I dont like the first translation of Alef Beit, Alaf Binah as 'Learn Wisdom', but rather 'Learn/Teach Understanding'.
Shevat 21
I heard an amazing diamond from Rabbi Michael Macks this morning (again don't watch his videos where he quotes external wisdoms - one can lose their portion of Heaven for this.)
As mentioned there are 5 levels of the soul, the nefesh corresponding to the the breath of the mouth, blood and centered in the liver. The Ruach, breath of the nose, spirit, and in the heart. The Neshamah, a more intellectual refined level (see that it contains the roots Shemah [hearing, related to understanding something] Shem [name, spiritual mission] and Mah [What, a less known Name of HaShem]), in the air of the ears and based in the brain. The Chayyah, life fore, light of the eyes, immediately surrounds the body. The Yechidah, Oneness, the cranium, actually extends Dalet Amot (~6-7 ft) from the body and actually all throughout one's home. This is why many people say they can feel someone's house's "vibe" when they enter their home. We are actually feeling that person's highest level of soul, Yechidah, Oneness.
I thought I had learned years ago from the Arizal that people can lose the upper levels of soul with not good choices. Actually Chabad taught a non religious Jewish person's (I think) Neshamah is not in his body like observant Jews, but rather hovers around his body.
No one donated or visited although I hear people tried and were stopped so I took my address off. I'm thinking since I live in a beautiful place to make a website and start selling photos online. My bills are low so maybe I could get to a point where I could retire from that revenue stream since I could probably swing it on a little over 1k a month (my mortgage is only 600) It is definitely not pious in my opinion due to the Torah's sentiment on images but since I am using it to support myself and there is no concern for idolatry, and it is nature pictures (HaTeviah, The Nature, has the same numerical value as Elohim) so Torah can be derived through the parables, or at least people will be spiritually inspired, I think it is a great idea. When I was trying to be a programmer I would look for good nature and fruit tree pictures but the best ones a person had to pay for. Alternatively the remote job I just got I think should be great money but I'm still feeling it out. Also I added a few paragraphs up to the song of the Rooster about supporting/standing Righteous ones
I thought I read it in Sefer Bahir but it might just be Mishlei 25:2 that says it is the glory of kings to argue or seek out a word (that HaShem has concealed in the Torah).
My personal hierarchy of definition sources:
-
Oral Torah sources like Midrash
-
Commentators with Rashi a level above
-
Jastrow
-
BDB (this and Jastrow provide cross reference proofs in Torah)
-
Klein
-
Chabad Tanakh with Rashi
-
The Sheepfold (an Orthodox Jew. Depending how big they are, it will likely be better than Klein as they may have Torah sources and Klein doesn't cite)
-
JPS with footnotes - these are often more abstract faces and not literal definitions but still very good

I realized recently that I added an extra "a" to AyshDaat implying drawing it out like Da'at, knowledge instead of Dat - logic, religion as how it is in the verse. Its still a good novelty even though I prefer the pronunciation of the actual verse in Dvarim and intentded the Hebrew to be אשדת. By the way if you highlight this in Sefaria it only shows the github dictionary that calls it EshDat with a segol. I have never seen it not called Aysh with a Tzeirei as in fire and JPS agrees with me. I actually usually ignore this dictionary and now I'm glad I do. Anyway the site title AyshDaat draws attention to novelize it with the Seifrah of Da'at, as is mentioned above is the only other thing than making HaShem honored/weighty that we are to glorify ourselves about (YirmiYah 9:23).

Why are the trees of the forest a metaphor for kings of the nations? Unlike a garden or orchard tree that are intentionally planted and tended to these kings are in battle from the day they germinate in the ground with all of the competing plants. There is much less light and many more animals and pests to eat them. Therefore it is miraculous that out of all the countless seeds spread in the forest the trees that made it to be expressed are and are clearly Divinely chosen.
Some may see snowstorms as frightening some as international confetti parties.
I remembered learning that the Tehillim were written with Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) not through Elokim so I need to apologize for Lashon Hara
According to Rambam, a person needs to attach fringes to even linen and wool blankets (not cotton or polyester). A workaround is to round a corner with scissors.
On the argument that the Talmud says the pious throw rocks at one who curses a necromancer and that Elisha HaNavi cursed 20 or so children in the name of HaShem and 2 bears mauled them and he was later punished for this: Elisha had a double portion of AyliYaHu's spirit. He was essentially the real ruler of the Jewish People and his life was far from being threatened, rather the kids just spoke Lashon Hara on him. He was also not living in the end of times when electronic torture toys are available to the masses (same with necromancers back then). Therefore considering that "Indeed, the people are grass" (most people are much more fragile than such a great Prophet) it is much more understandable and actually I would say even the Mitzvah of saving your own life to curse treacherous people in the name of HaShem as we have been.
Breishet 49:6
בְּסֹדָם֙ אַל־תָּבֹ֣א נַפְשִׁ֔י בִּקְהָלָ֖ם אַל־תֵּחַ֣ד כְּבֹדִ֑י כִּ֤י בְאַפָּם֙ הָ֣רְגוּ אִ֔ישׁ וּבִרְצֹנָ֖ם עִקְּרוּ־שֽׁוֹר׃
In their counsel let my soul not enter! Into their congregation may my glory not be united! Indeed in their wrath they slew a man
According the Chabad Rebbe's in the article above, a main opinion is that Yaakov was chastising Shimon and Levi for surreptitiously killing Shechem (by telling them to circumcise themselves to marry Dinah and then attacking when they were weak) instead of attacking outright since the whole nation was considered like one "Eish", man, and it would not have been a problem.
Breisheit 32:25
וַיִּוָּתֵ֥ר יַעֲקֹ֖ב לְבַדּ֑וֹ וַיֵּאָבֵ֥ק אִישׁ֙ עִמּ֔וֹ עַ֖ד עֲל֥וֹת הַשָּֽׁחַר׃
And Yaakov was left alone and a man wrestled with him until the rise of dawn.
-Rabbi Natan Scherman quotes tradition that this Eish/man was the Sat-n, guarding angel of Esau, the West.
See that very nearly the entire world has fallen to Sat-n worship and every person loses their ability to act independently from its commands. Therefore every living Ben Adam should have no fear even if he has to take on the entire world with a donkey skull like Shimshon took on many multitudes of people by himself. "Into their congregation may my glory not be united (Taychad)." Taychad is close to Pachad implying that if you try to defeat your enemies like a snake (surreptitiously like Shimon and Levi) it may be that this brings Pachad - terror/dread upon you in your drawn out conspiracy rather than just plowing the grass (wicked enemies) directly like a bull (Adam and Eish both start with Alef, representing an ox), how Yaakov would have done it to keep his honor. What is there to fear if by fighting in and also by dying in a Milchemet Mitzvah (War obligated by the Torah) there is great sanctification of HaShem and reward? We should be as delighted at such an opportunity as a cow that finds fresh green grass to devour with its roots (Tehillim - When the wicked thrive like grass, and all evildoers prosper, it is in order that they be cut down forever.)
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, it is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
The Rooster is also saying:
Do not love sleep (be lazy), lest you and your people become impoverished. Open up your people to the seven (Shabbat, Geulah, Redemption) bread (Torah of Mashiach, Kabbalah/Chassidut) or war, the spiritual war of the end of time occurring right now. BDB says Lachem with a Patach instead of Segol (Lechem) can refer to a war, Milchamah.
Mishlei 23:5
(התעוף) [הֲתָ֤עִיף]
עֵינֶ֥יךָ בּ֗וֹ וְֽאֵ֫ינֶ֥נּוּ כִּ֤י עָשֹׂ֣ה יַעֲשֶׂה־לּ֣וֹ כְנָפַ֑יִם כְּ֝נֶ֗שֶׁר (ועיף) [יָע֥וּף] הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ {פ}
Wilt thou set thy eyes upon it? it is already gone: for riches suddenly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle towards the sky.
I have thought about this verse probably every day since I read years ago in Berachot Bavli the Sages say that this applies to Torah study being very easily forgotten. A more direct translation is:
Blink your eyes in It and It is no more, indeed it surely makes wings for Itself like an eagle and flies [to] The Heavens.
I realized recently that this also applies to what the Sages teach in Avot 2:15 "The day is short, the work is much, the workers are lazy, the reward is great, and the House Owner is pressing"
It is so easy especially when lying in bed when the thought to engage in Torah study enters the mind to "blink your eyes on It" and it becomes no more and flies away - the opportunity to fulfill the Mitzvah of Torah study that stands for one as an eternal light (as opposed to another Mitzvah that is like a temporary candle - Rashi on Mishlei 6:23) is lost to work on vain material things or snooze, like how Adam banished himself from Gan Eden to work on material things.
26 Shevat
Some people say not to do things on a certain day like Monday and one who knows that each day corresponds to a Sefirah knows Monday corresponds to Gevurah, judgement, and may be inclined to wait until Tuesday to do something. About such things its written "You shall not be an observer of the times" and "You shall be wholehearted with The Lord your God".
Actually I think Chabad's custom of not saying Kiddush during the hour when Mars is dominant is in direct violation of this, especially when I have heard from Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg in the name of the Rebbe that nowadays Edom is ready for Geulah when Israel was not (at that time). The Rambam says a hungry person is like he is sick so it could be additional violations of afflicting oneself especially on Shabbat.
The Baal Shem Tov says on the verse "A perpetual fire shall be on the alter, do not extinguish it" Lo Tichbeh - The "no" (negativity) extinguish!
In other words always be positive and shine a light on negativity. Instead of seeing Monday as a day of increased judgement see it is a day for rich kings, since Gevurah also represents richness and kingship. Everyone is obligated to have an attribute of Gevurah since we are obligated to be children of HaShem and all of Israel are called children of kings.
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, the rooster is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
It can also be understood as
Upon her [that you] love - [it requires] teeth (metaphor for strength, your relationship requires you to be strong) lest you get plowed/impoverished (divorced/cheated on Heaven forbid). Open up your eye (your desire) and be sated with bread (implying a relationship requires toil like sowing harvesting and making wheat into bread)
Another face: it requires teeth/strength - you need to have some measure of defense like a gun (if you can't buy one a good slingshot with lead ammo is lethal like David and Goliath - just Google the technique and practice it its actually very easy) or dog to protect her from the heathen. So too farmers put up fences, cameras, dogs, and scarecrows for their wheat and before cameras used to actually hire guards. The snake was originally able to kill Eve because Adam was either sleeping (Ohr HaChaim) or HaShem was taking him on a tour of the world and she was alone. If its written "It is not good for man to be alone" how much more so a woman?
Mishlei 23:5
(התעוף) [הֲתָ֤עִיף]
עֵינֶ֥יךָ בּ֗וֹ וְֽאֵ֫ינֶ֥נּוּ כִּ֤י עָשֹׂ֣ה יַעֲשֶׂה־לּ֣וֹ כְנָפַ֑יִם כְּ֝נֶ֗שֶׁר (ועיף) [יָע֥וּף] הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ {פ}
Wilt thou set thy eyes upon it? it is already gone: for riches suddenly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle towards the sky.
Another face: interpret this for one who is overworked or has studied a lot already and who needs to "rest his donkey".
"Close your eyes for a moment (blink) and be no more (in the physical world. Tradition teaches when a person sleeps their soul ascends to Heaven to study Torah). Indeed make like wings (Chenafiayim - the Caf is usually used but the Chaf is used here to signify death) to Him like the eagle and fly to The Heavens.
Why? Because It flies to the Heavens like an eagle, it takes a lot of exertion to catch Her, as a sage gives a novelty in the Gemara on the verse "It is a Tree of Life for those who cleave to Her" - just like cleaving to a tree makes one exhausted so does Torah study. The Heavens are endless as It is founded with Understanding that is said to have no limit. Therefore take a rest to regain your strength before cleaving to Her again with better results.
Alternatively, I have seen Rashi say I think in Mishlei that there is (great?) reward for one who banishes sleep from his eyes to study Torah.
Therefore:
Blink your eye on It and be no more?!?? Indeed you shall surely make (make novelties and commentaries on Torah - Eishet Chayil: she seeks out wool and linen [garments of Torah from the sheepfold, Oral Tradition, and from flax, the Written Torah unsucceptive to impurity as anything that grows from the ground is not succeptive to impurity until made into a vessel- just an idea] and does it with the desire of her hands) to Him like wings (use your love and fear of HaShem and His Torah to inspire you, in other words, fly) like the Eagle (king of the birds) and fly to the Heavens
Interpret the former for a lower level person like how a sapling dies in too much sunlight or a person who is much more exhausted and actually medically needs sleep. The term "make" I think supports this as only a higher level person would be able to make a novelty or commentary on Torah and as mentioned one who reveals a new Face in Torah is crowned with 370,000 crowns by the Ancient of Days, implying this is a very important thing to do for someone who can as it pleases HaShem exceedingly.
Also even a higher level person should probably not try to make commentaries while exhausted lest he forget things and make mistakes or have parts of his commentary not be as delicious and nutritious Heaven forbid
Alternatively interpret the former for a lower level person that is not that tired and needs to "die for the sake of Torah" and make wings for himself to fly to Heaven (continue studying Torah)
I saw recently a video of someone wrapping Jacob Paul with Tefillin. He had Jacob say the first verse of the Shema and then some other good words like Am Yisrael Chai. However if you are ever blessed with such a Kiruv opportunity you should have the person say in addition to the the first and last line of the third paragraph of Shema as these are the actual Biblical obligations (it doesn't have to be the specifc last line but any verse that remembers the Exodus from Egypt)
I need to review but Bahir says something like the languages of the 70 root nations are all Names of HaShem, essentially that He is language.
In recent English slang it became popular to call opponents "opps"
This is alluding to the Rooster's call: "Stand righteous people up so that your portion will be doubled in The World to Come". So too, "The poor will never cease from the land". You should polish your sales skills (A morning blessing included in the Siddur is to bless HaShem for commanding us to "do business in" Torah) to make it a very simple and easy decision for your "opps" to repent, because it is an extremely easy choice especially since Shabbat is here. Then you will get credit for "making" their souls as its written about Avraham and Sarah (B 12:5);
וְאֶת־הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂ֣וּ בְחָרָ֑ן
"the soul[s] that he made in Charan" about the idolators they converted.
If a person has the financial and geographical blessing then I think the most preferable way to live is in a Sukkah since it is commonly related to Shalom and as mentioned above the Mishnah says HaShem found no greater blessing for Israel than Shalom based on the verse "HaShem will give strength to His people. Hashem will bless His people with Peace". It will help a person to recognize the temporality and futility of materialism and focus on Torah and Mitzvot.
Next would be a house, Bayit, as it corresponds to Binah, Understanding and Heaven, and Berachot, Blessings. The least preferable would be a tent, Ohel, since tents, Ohelim, is an anagram for Elokim, The Name of Gevurah, Judgement/Severity/Kingship
The Mishnah says something about being able to make a house into a Sukkah by opening up a hole in the ceiling. However there may be another consideration about taking from the Kiddushah (sanctity) of the Chag (Holiday). A proof for this is the first letter of Torah, Beit, essentially instructing us to live in a Bayit.
Another proof: Exodus 3:14:
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר כֹּ֤ה תֹאמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And God said to Moses, “[I] Will Be/Become That [I] Will Be/Become” continuing, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites, ‘[I] Will Be/Become sent me to you.’”
As mentioned above Asher, That, can be novelized with Osher, rich/fortunate. This name of HaShem corresponds with the Sefirah of Keter, Crown/Will/Intention, implying a person should desire to be rich/fortunate and only enjoy the Oneg HaOni (Delight of the poor) BeDieved (After the fact that HaShem decreed poverty on a person)
Another proof Mishlei 3:16
אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים בִּֽימִינָ֑הּ בִּ֝שְׂמֹאולָ֗הּ עֹ֣שֶׁר וְכָבֽוֹד׃
In her right hand is length of days,
In her left, riches and honor.
Had a laugh at this from Taanit 23B
Rabbi Mani said to his teacher: The members of my household, i.e., my wife, are not acceptable to me, as she is not beautiful. Rabbi Yitzḥak said: What is her name? Rabbi Mana replied: Ḥana. Rabbi Yitzḥak declared: Let Ḥana grow beautiful, and indeed she grew beautiful. After a while, Rabbi Mani said to Rabbi Yitzḥak: She acts haughtily toward me, due to her great beauty. He said to him: If so, let Ḥana return to her homely appearance, and she returned to her homely appearance.
"Grace (Chein) is a lie and beauty is vanity" -Proverbs
I found the place in the Gemara about the man doing sorcery on a woman to turn her into a donkey and Baruch HaShem it is not one of the sages but a random person
Sanhedrin 67b
The Gemara relates: A man named Yannai arrived at a certain inn. He said to the innkeepers: Give me water to drink. They brought him flour mixed with water. He saw that the lips of the innkeeper woman were moving, and he cast a bit of the drink to the ground, and it turned into scorpions, and he understood that the innkeepers performed sorcery on the drink. Yannai said to them: I drank from yours; you too drink from mine, and he also performed sorcery on the drink. He gave it to her to drink and she turned into a donkey. He rode upon her and went to the marketplace. Her friend came and released her from the sorcery, and people saw him riding on a woman in the marketplace.
Pesachim 113a
And do not marry two women, as they will likely join forces against you. And if you do marry two, marry a third as well. If two of your wives plot against you, the third will inform you of their plans.
Avot - Increase in wives, increase in witchcraft
The Gemara says I think it Ketubot that even if a man has 100 servants he can obligate his wife to do certain tasks because idleness leads to idiocy and licentiousness
Pirkei Avot:
Rabban Gamliel the son of Rabbi Yehuda the Prince said: Good is Torah study together with a worldly occupation, for the exertion in both makes one forget sin. All Torah study without work will result in waste and will cause sinfulness. Anyone who works for the community should work for the sake of Heaven, for the merit of their [the community members’] forefathers will help him, and their righteousness endures forever. And as for you, [says G-d], I will grant you much reward as if you accomplished it on your own.
The sages also teach an idle mind is liable for death in Avot 3:4
רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶן חֲכִינַאי אוֹמֵר, הַנֵּעוֹר בַּלַּיְלָה וְהַמְהַלֵּךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ יְחִידִי וְהַמְפַנֶּה לִבּוֹ לְבַטָּלָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מִתְחַיֵּב בְּנַפְשׁוֹ:
Rabbi Hananiah ben Hakinai said: one who wakes up at night, or walks on the way alone and turns his heart to idle matters, behold, this man is mortally guilty.
Employment is not only a means for self sufficiency but also a Kiruv (proselytizing) effort as Jewish people are commanded to be a light for the nations. As mentioned if you successfully sow someone non religious into a fruit tree, you will get unimaginable reward, hinting to how precious such a thing is to HaShem. In my opinion this is one of, if the the primary reason HaShem designed Creation with labor required for our needs after the sins of mankind (The Gemara teaches we would receive our sustenance like the animals without jobs if it were not for our sins) in order to mix people together and have the spiritually larger people bring up the poorer people.
I think the Mishnah supports this by saying when working for the community (most if not all jobs have some sort of community involved) it should be for the sake of Heaven.
Ive also learned before that one who supports himself is greater than one who fears HaShem.
I think Avot also teaches one who cites his sources in Torah brings redemption on the world so you can find this one deep down on my Facebook page lol sorry for not doing it myself
***Actually I think this is from Living Mussar Everyday by Tzvi Miller (better, MeyE-lOhr, Waters of [The] G-d of Light)
By the way if you are a woman you should definitely look for a man that will support you and in my opinion live with your parents until they can find a fitting man for you (or you if you don't trust them). I remember the Mishnah talking about marriage and saying "if the woman returns to her father's house" implying that would be better than her working and living alone. The marriage contract requires a man to provide the necessities to a woman (food, clothing, and marital relations). A man cannot vow to withhold from relations for over one week or he has to divorce his wife unless his employment demands it. Rambam says the man should also be physically up for it. However, on working, Rabbi Avigdor Miller says if the wife is able to make money not interacting with men to support his Torah study then that is up to her.
Why have I not sold the rest of my assets and booked a flight to visit the Meir Tawig synagogue in Baghdad as I have been saying based on Micah 4:10 "...from Babylon HaShem will redeem you..."?
It looks like the last Jewish people there no longer attend the synagogue and are probably hiding in crevices or in Ohr Casdim based on Isaiah 24:15
עַל־כֵּ֥ן בָּאֻרִ֖ים כַּבְּד֣וּ יְהֹוָ֑ה בְּאִיֵּ֣י הַיָּ֔ם שֵׁ֥ם יְהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {ס}
Therefore, honor GOD with lights
In the coastlands of the sea—
The name of the ETERNAL, the God of Israel.
Rashi and Radak say Urim is Ohr Casdim in the valleys. Either way its not an enticing idea to spend about 2k to go to Iraq looking for the last 3-4 Jewish people like Isaiah says the remainder of the Jewish people will be like an olive tree after a beating with only a few olives left in a city.
Rather maybe Tehillim 110:1
לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמ֥וֹר נְאֻ֤ם יְהֹוָ֨ה ׀ לַֽאדֹנִ֗י שֵׁ֥ב לִֽימִינִ֑י עַד־אָשִׁ֥ית אֹ֝יְבֶ֗יךָ הֲדֹ֣ם לְרַגְלֶֽיךָ׃
Of David. A psalm.
The LORD said : to my lord,
“Sit at My right hand
while I make your enemies your footstool.”
Ir Yehochanan (Johnstown) seems like a nice right hand and is the most peaceful place I've lived in the past 8 years
Layers of Understanding on the Rooster standing up righteous people and doing Kiruv:
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4532/jewish/G-d-Will-Grant-Strength.htm
Avot 4:1
Who is mighty? He who subdues his [evil] inclination, as it is said: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city” (Proverbs 16:32).
Why? The primary motive of the kingdom of Evil/Sat-n is to heat up your evil inclination (also called the Sat-n) against you to anger you at least if not get you to sin and die Heaven forbid Ana!!
Therefore if they see they have no power over you they will accept you as their Rabbi and convert as they finally found a fruit tree to sustain them, likely a reason for their death.
28 Shevat
Indonesian coconut palm trees carry at least dozens of pounds of ripe fruit all the time all year. Is this not extremely inspiring?
Recently I was debating what looked like one of my gay sons God forbid about Torah trying to trap him by getting him to say "I am completely perfect" and he argued that that is also witchcraft and I think people have thought this to me before as well. I consider it a Mitzvah as its written Bereisheit 17:1
וַיְהִ֣י אַבְרָ֔ם בֶּן־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְתֵ֣שַׁע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֨א יְהֹוָ֜ה אֶל־אַבְרָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֲנִי־אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים׃
"And when Avram was ninety nine years old, the Lord appeared to Avram, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be perfect."
How else could a person perfect themselves if they have previously spoken evil on themselves in the days of ignorance or evil Heaven forbid
If so, blessings, the Sukkah service, Tefillin, Mezuzot etc would all be considered a form of pure sorcery. Therefore it seems more valid to say sorcery is only using one's spiritual knowledge for directly prohibited actions like bloodshed, licentiousness, fortune telling, etc or something not Torah based. Another proof is the Gemara on the verse You shall not make with Me. (Another face is You shall not make Me which is the novelty that prohibits making 3D human like images of people and angels who serve HaShem and are His extensions). The sages say although we can surely make for ourselves.
Alternatively if he and they might somehow be right, one could just say such verses as the one just above that includes the phrase "I am the Almighty G-d" that can stand as itsown interpretation, especially since Torah study is a Mitzvah so by doing so you are considered like The Almighty G-d (just a small part) doing it since you are doing it on His behalf.
Another face for the rooster
Do not love sleep(ing with your wive[s] or too many wives) (or teeth - eating her/them too much/too many of them) lest you become impoverished or plowed from their increased witchcraft. Or plowed from your lack of strength from losing too much semen, a man's strength and light of his eyes. Take (Lacach instead of Pecach, open) from your people seven (for your) food.
Rambam says the king can take up to 18 wives and concubines on top of that. But the sages in the Gemara teach that if a man vows not to have relations with his wife for a week, he must divorce, and the only exceptions given were for employment or Torah study. I have not yet learned of an exception for the king having too many wives to satisfy (although it may make sense) and the dear rooster seems to be warning about this. Especially since that Gemara I think in Kiddushin 42b says a Torah scholar should have relations Erev Shabbat to Erev Shabbat (Rambam adds only if the man is physically up for it), and Rambam says the king must be held to a higher standard of piety.
A proof of this is that Shlomo increased in wives and fell to their idolatry
In retrospect even 7 may be way too many so maybe novelize it as "Take from your people (a religious living woman) [and consider] Sheva, (7, the Shabbat day) [for] your food (your wife) (so that you have strength for the ultimate delight, Torah study)
In other words consider that you should only have relations Erev Shabbat and even if you are not yet a Torah scholar your goal should be to become one and therefore you should plan for this. Therefore only take one since more than that will require too much energy.
Alternatively in defense of the first face, the sages teach that the reason sailors (one time in 6 months) and camel drivers (one time in 30 days) do not have to divorce their wives is because it is different for one with bread in the basket and one with no bread in the basket. In other words she is more understanding if he is not intentionally withholding her food.
Therefore the wives of kings would be more understanding and willing to wait considering they get to be queens. Also its written in Tehillim "Happy is he who has sons in his youth. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, he will not be disappointed when he meets his enemy at the gate" (from memory may be not perfectly accurate). Also the Gemara teaches that David HaMelech's Kingdom rested on the military power of his children he had with beautiful captive women of warfare. Therefore it may be good for a king to have 7 wives to have more children.
I think I have read before that Erev Shabbat is the best time to bring down the holiest soul as your child
Is sleeping on the floor with no mattress better than in a bed? Avot says the way of Torah is to sleep on the floor. I saw someone say people were meant to sleep on the floor instead of beds due to how the pressure gets applied to the skeleton (could definitely be wrong). Also all vessels are succeptive to impurity of the dead and who knows what sort of abominations they are putting in beds and furniture.
After trying it I fell asleep at 9 and slept 8 hours straight to 5 and was not as inclined to sleep in and I feel great actually. Also my back cracked once or twice.
This could be because I ate meat for the first time in over a month last night and the sages teach there is nothing more beneficial for the body than meat (also that a lightly cooked egg is the best form of egg and is equivalent to 6 egg sized volumes of bread I think. Eggs are right under meat). Nevertheless Rambam says only to eat meat when one desires it
Something I would have wanted someone to tell me: dill weed is by far the best seasoning (except salt). Its the first time I've popped the reducing filter cap off a spice container and I've been dumping it on everything.
It has great health benefits so maybe it just has a certain nutrient I was lacking if you don't feel the same

אומר כי יש הבדל בין הנביא בדור אחרון ובין הרואה לפנים, שהנביא נקרא שמו על שם דברותיו ותוכחותיו (מלשון ניב שפתים) על כי ה' דבר בו וישלחהו להגיד לעם פשעם ולבית יעקב חטאתם, ולא שלחהו במלאכות ה' רק לצורך עניני הכלל והגוי כולו ולא חל רוח הקודש עליו להראותו דברים פרטיים הנוגעים אל היחידים, אבל הרואה נקרא בשמו על שם שהיה צופה ברוח הקודש השורה עליו כל הדברים ההויים והעתידים וגם עניני היחידים ופרטיהם, ועל כן היו בורחים מן הנביא אשר היה תמיד מגיד פשע ומוכיח עלי עון, ורדפום אחר הרואה באשר כל אחד השיג ממנו מבוקשו על הגניבה ועל האבידה ועל החולה ועל האשה והבנים

"It is said that there is a difference between the prophet in the last generation and the one who sees ahead. The prophet [Navi] is called by his name because of his words and rebukes (from the root 'niv' meaning speech) because God spoke to him and sent him to declare the people's transgressions and the sins of the house of Jacob. He was not sent to perform the works of God, but only for the needs of the community and the entire nation. The Holy Spirit did not rest upon him to show him private matters related to individuals. However, the one who sees [Roeh and Chozeh] ahead is called by his name because he was able to see through the Holy Spirit all that is happening and all that will happen, including matters concerning individuals and their details. Therefore, people would flee from the prophet, who always declared their sins and reproached them for their transgressions, and they would chase after the seer, since each person obtained from him what they sought—whether it was for theft, lost property, illness, or matters concerning women and children."

The sages teach that sleep is 1/60 of death and Rabbi Avigdor Miller says sleep is a parable for death. Rashi says on Mishlei that old age is called the days of evil when one has less energy to serve HaShem. Therefore one has to be especially on guard after nightfall. The Mishnah I think Avot says one who stays awake at night is liable for death (Also I think this supports the opinion in the Mishnah that the latest time for the morning Shema is sunrise since that person will inevitably sleep past that). I take inspiration of the most expressed of the animals, the rooster (it has multiple times more songs in Perek Shira than any other animal) and try to sleep as early as possible to wake up as early as possible.
A person has to also be on guard in the morning that is compared to the days of youth before one remembers all of his or her Torah and gets the body moving, use the restroom etc.
Chumash
Bereisheit 8:21
"The inclination of the heart of man (Adam - highest level) are wicked from** his youth!"
My point is that I found sleeping on the floor also helped me in my "days of youth" to have a more productive morning.
Mishlei says the way of the righteous is to walk to perfection. If you told someone "this is the path to perfection" would they take any steps backwards? Another proof for not paying attention to auspicious times or saying Mondays aren't good Heaven forbid since every day should be better than the previous day. A proof from nature is how great trees continue to get more and more massive like General Sherman (the largest tree by mass). Although HaShem may cut them back sometimes through storms and fires they never intend to shrink
The rooster: Open up your eye (Eye, Ayin, is related to Torah, since Ayin is also wellspring and water is a parable for Torah). The satiation is the bread of war (as mentioned the verse has a patach instead of segol usually used [lachem isntead of lechem] alluding to Milchama) studying Torah is kind of like going to war as its written at the Song of the Sea "HaShem is a man/master (Eish) of war" and a person has to struggle initially to climb Har Sinai (novelized with thoughts of hatred) and then struggle to understand the concepts. But after he gets it it is as satisfying as food. The same way growing and processing and baking wheat is a pain but after the victory it is worth it. Likely a reason Milchama and Lechem share root letters.
Rambam says a man first has to find an occupation and get a house before he looks for a wife. Even then he may have to convince the woman he will be a good dwelling place for her. (The Torah teaches the relationship from G-d to man is like from man to his wife and G-d is called HaMacom [The Place]) This is the same concept as toiling for bread. He will probably have to engage in a form of warfare every day in the market or workplace at least a little for the sake of providing for a woman, his food/bread

Esa Einai Ay-l HeHarim
I uplift [people's] eyes to G-d with the words of His sages (the mountains)
Meayin Yavo Ezri
From there, their uplifted eyes (aynayim), in the virtue of my Kiruv efforts, my help will come.
Also, from them lifting their eye, their minds/thoughts, to Him, He will come to help since the name YH-VH can be vowelized to be pronounced as the same word here Will Come, Ya-vo, with a Yud, Veit Alef.
One of the greatest Mussar lessons I know comes from Nebuchadnezzar, the wicked king of Babylon who ruled over the whole world. The reason HaShem gave him such honor is because when he was only an official or something like that, a paper was sent out of his office that included HaShem's name maybe at the farewell. He ran outside to chase it down and moved or added HaShem's name to the top. I think the source is the Gemara
Do you really trust the long list of chemicals in regular soap? I suggest getting soap on Etsy made with basic plant oils. People have hinted multiple times to me that this is the best way
Remember what the great great grandparents of the original American people did to the natives giving them blankets with smallpox.
Now were they justified to conquer America since the natives were idol worshippers? But the europeans were also idol worshippers so probably not as its written Dvarim 32:8

"When the Most High gave the nations their inheritences

When the inheritances were established Above of the nations
In the division of the children of man
the borders of the people were stationed

However I need to review. The point is don't trust anyone or anything like Micah says in chapter 7 - Trust no friend! Your own household is your enemies!
Especially when there is a long list of unknown chemicals in your food soap etc as these Northern people are freezing (Evil comes from the North, this is why the Beit is open to the North side).
Although I have never heard of any of these sages, the author is Rabbi David Cohen that sounds like a very pure soul and since I have not yet learned this myself it seems logical:
https://www.crcweb.org/kosher_articles/kosher_body_soap.php#_ftn2
OU's article on soap says the sages compare anointing to drinking and the Gra held strictly against non kosher soap because of this.
https://oukosher.org/blog/consumer-kosher/whats-the-truth-aboutkosher-soap/
However the comparison of anointing to drinking is possibly Rabbinic therefore I think the CRC saying if it is marketed to vegetarians that is enough considering it may be hard to find a perfect inexpensive soap with no questionable ingredients. Practically I have found that just rubbing myself with the hot water works just as well and have gone months doing this with not a single perceivable difference. Rambam calls soap Borit, like Brit, covenant, so nevertheless I think it is good especially considering the science of soap being able to bind one end of its molecule to water and the other end to oil to release all of the oils and abominations heathen throw on you G-d forbid. Actually I think hot water can effectively 'melt' and remove body oils sufficiently on its own.
Apparently the Baal Shem Tov also compared smoking to the Ketoret (incense) offerings and would bless on smoking his pipe. The Arizal teaches that when we bless on food or incense, there are 5 souls involved that are really potentially many many more. He teaches when we consume without blessing, we are stealing from HaShem, our parents that are considered as partners with HaShem in our creation, the soul incarnated in the food, drink, or incense, as well as from our own souls Heaven forbid. The soul that is incarnated in it is relying on you to properly be uplifted by being consumed with proper Berachot. The Gra says the mouth is the holy of holies! Therefore who knows how many potential children that that soul could end up having you would be affecting or delaying Heaven forbid.
Nevertheless Rambam says in times when one is being vexed I think as long as HaShem was blessed and the essence of the blessing was good, it is acceptable if one accidentally said the wrong words and I would add if one is feeling electricity from saying too much.
When Moshe prayed to save Miriam from her leprosy, he said
Bamidbar 12:13
וַיִּצְעַ֣ק מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶל־יְהֹוָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אֵ֕ל נָ֛א רְפָ֥א נָ֖א לָֽהּ׃ {פ}
Moshe cried out [in prayer] to HaShem, saying: “Please, G-d, heal her please."
I remember reading a commentary noting how brief the prayer was and either that that is all that's required or how heavy we should make our prayers before HaShem and therefore not drag them out as HaShem rebukes Israel in a prophecy for having a set lip service
Isaiah 29:13
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲדֹנָ֗י יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י נִגַּשׁ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה בְּפִ֤יו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו֙ כִּבְּד֔וּנִי וְלִבּ֖וֹ רִחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי וַתְּהִ֤י יִרְאָתָם֙ אֹתִ֔י מִצְוַ֥ת אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מְלֻמָּדָֽה׃

The sages also teach that everything that the eyes see and a man does not consume, he will be accounted for. This is in regards to foods like fruits that one needs to eat before they decay. Maybe we can apply it to having a strong urge to smoke and withholding for no reason. Also you can get large pure organic tobacco leaves online you can grind up yourself and also vaporizers need to be Kosher since they put animal gelatin or something in them but you can get them relatively inexpensively with a Hechsher on Vape X

A root is sufficient. If all you know is native grasses (coarse and wicked people) and herbs that still keep their roots despite their bodies dying, this is sufficient.
Also I think using soap every day might be too much since you strip your body of all of its oils and the AI (take with salt) I asked said even very hot water can strip too much oil. Unless maybe you anoint your whole body with olive coconut avacado etc oil afterwards

Bereisheit 48:7

And when I came from Padan Racheil died upon me in the land of Canaan on the way in/with Eternity (implying she merited eternal life).
Ibn Ezra says Racheil died unexpectedly.
If Yaakov is the image of the man used on the Divine Chariot in YechezkAyl, and is called a master of perfection, why was he afflicted this way with his beloved wife?
Bereisheit 31:32
עִ֠ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּמְצָ֣א אֶת־אֱלֹהֶ֘יךָ֮ לֹ֣א יִֽחְיֶה֒ נֶ֣גֶד אַחֵ֧ינוּ הַֽכֶּר־לְךָ֛ מָ֥ה עִמָּדִ֖י וְקַֽח־לָ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֣ע יַעֲקֹ֔ב כִּ֥י רָחֵ֖ל גְּנָבָֽתַם׃
But anyone with whom you find your gods shall not remain alive! In the presence of our kin, point out what I have of yours and take it.” Jacob, of course, did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
(This was when Yaakov was fleeing Lavan and Racheil took his idols)
Rashi cites Bereisheit Rabbah 74:9 that it was in consequence of this curse Recheil died unexpectedly, Heaven save us.

Why did Yaakov use a pile of sapphires to rest his head on to sleep on the night of his famous dream of the ladder to Heaven? Didn't he have a single extra garment or could he not have found some branches with leaves that would have been softer?
Tehillim 23
"Your rod (rebukes) and your staff (pleasures), they shall comfort me."
If one lies down with his staff using a pile of gemstones as a pillow, he is able to extend the electrical benefits of the gemstones to the whole body. Wood is semi conductive
Dvarim 33:25
בַּרְזֶ֥ל וּנְחֹ֖שֶׁת מִנְעָלֶ֑ךָ וּכְיָמֶ֖יךָ דׇּבְאֶֽךָ׃
"Iron and copper from your sandal and your right hand for your cleaving/strength."
Why the right hand?
The anatomy of the body is set up for everyone to be right handed and in fact right handed people live longer (I am in the process of training my right)
If you look at a human anatomy diagram you will see that the stomach is on the left side and the colon connects to the anus on the left side. Doctors say the stomach is like another brain. And feces and urine are forces of impurity that act like fuel for the kingdom of evil to upset you with Heaven forbid (another reason why it is so important not to delay the urge to use the restroom based on the verse 'You shall not make yourselves detestable').
Therefore even if you are left handed you still want to wear rings on your right hand to direct all of the electricity sent away from the stomach and waste.

I was reading Letters of Light during Shabbat and wanted to share this difference between Anochi and Ani on the letter כּ Caf:
Meaning
One of the meanings of the letter kaf is “spoon.” The root of the word “spoon” is kafaf—to bend. As we discussed earlier, the kaf is a letter that is bent. It represents the aspect of submitting oneself to a greater power.
This notion of submission and humility can be seen clearly in the difference between the words anochi and ani. Both mean “I.” When a person walks around all day and says, “I, I, I,” he has a problem with egotism. How does one overcome this self-inflation? By adding a kaf to the אני (ani), the I, and transforming it into the אנכי (anochi). When the “I” submits to G‑d, when it recognizes and bends to the higher power through the kaf, it is no longer the egotistical I. Rather, אנכי (anochi) is the “I” that serves as a channel to do G‑d’s will.14
There are actually two kafs. There’s the bent kaf (כ), and the straight, or final, kaf (ך). What’s the difference?
We explained previously that keter, the king’s crown, comprises two levels: pleasure and desire. It has also been described as representing the internal and external aspects of the king. In this case, internal refers to the king’s relation to himself, while external is his relationship to the world, his kingdom. Regarding the king’s internal aspect—he doesn’t necessarily want to be king, to be under the thumb of the ceaseless demands of his position. He wants to live within the boundaries of his own will, the internal world of study, erudition, spirituality, and family. This is the meaning of the passage, “From his shoulders up he was taller than the rest of his people,”15 that is, secluded from the people.
The king’s crown, however, also demands the straight kaf, which unfurls to reach down to his subjects; the external level of the king’s existence. He’s required to interact, to be responsible and benevolent to his kingdom.
The bent kaf therefore represents the introverted or inverted king—who remains isolated within his internalized world. The straight kaf (similar to the vav) represents the king who descends from his high level and reaches down to others in order to communicate with and rule his people.
The gematria of the final Caf can be 500 while the bent Caf is always 20, another example of how heavy Kiruv is.
--
The word לא
Lo, "No", can be novelized as, Le Alef, To HaShem.
This implies when we deny ourselves some sort of forbidden pleasure due to Torah, we are glorifying HaShem. When we tell people who are trying to convince us to do something wrong "no", we are also telling them to go to HaShem and the way of Torah.
Also that we are on our way to becoming like HaShem, an Aluf, Master.

In Hilchot Keriat Shema 2:5 Rambam says that if one is studying Torah, he should interrupt for Shema, and if he is involved in community affairs, he should not interrupt even if the time (3 hours into the day) passes.
Mishnah Peah 1:1
אֵלּוּ דְבָרִים שֶׁאֵין לָהֶם שִׁעוּר. הַפֵּאָה, וְהַבִּכּוּרִים, וְהָרֵאָיוֹן, וּגְמִילוּת חֲסָדִים, וְתַלְמוּד תּוֹרָה. אֵלּוּ דְבָרִים שֶׁאָדָם אוֹכֵל פֵּרוֹתֵיהֶן בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וְהַקֶּרֶן קַיֶּמֶת לוֹ לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. כִּבּוּד אָב וָאֵם, וּגְמִילוּת חֲסָדִים, וַהֲבָאַת שָׁלוֹם בֵּין אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ, וְתַלְמוּד תּוֹרָה כְּנֶגֶד כֻּלָּם:
These are the things that have no definite quantity: The corners [of the field]. First-fruits; [The offerings brought] on appearing [at the Temple on the three pilgrimage festivals]. The performance of righteous deeds; And the study of the Torah. The following are the things for which a man enjoys the fruits in this world while the principal remains for him in the world to come: Honoring one’s father and mother; The performance of righteous deeds; And the making of peace between a person and his friend; And the study of the Torah is equal to them all.
If Torah is opposite all of these Mitzvot, imagine how heavy Kiruv/community affairs are to HaShem
I found a man talking about how the triangle people clone people in test tubes. This is forbidden as its written in Bereisheit 29:21
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֤ב אֶל־לָבָן֙ הָבָ֣ה אֶת־אִשְׁתִּ֔י כִּ֥י מָלְא֖וּ יָמָ֑י וְאָב֖וֹאָה אֵלֶֽיהָ׃
Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my time is fulfilled, that I may enter in upon her”
Artscroll stone edition says he wouldn't have been so direct if he were not in advanced age (83-86?)
Ayleha, the last word, upon her, is spelled with an Alef and vowelized like the divine name Kayl. In Rabbi Kaplan's commentary on Sefer Yetrizah he says when procreating to focus on the fact that the toes allude to the power of the 10 Sefirot. Therefore by actually doing the job one can "Enter in G-d upon her", in other words bring down a much holier soul.
The Arizal says not to even touch the beard lest one knock hairs off since (? Had this book taken by the Rosh Yeshivah so I will have to find it again elsewhere to clarify) the essence of Berachah (Blessing) is the oil of the beard. I have found that this is especially true without any fruit oil (olive coconut etc) rubbed in but with oil it becomes smooth and hairs don't get knocked out Heaven forbid. I personally can't help to caress it (except on Shabbat)
A good argument against xtians:
Shemot 33:20
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לֹ֥א תוּכַ֖ל לִרְאֹ֣ת אֶת־פָּנָ֑י כִּ֛י לֹֽא־יִרְאַ֥נִי הָאָדָ֖ם וָחָֽי׃
and said, “But you cannot see My Face, for a human being may not see Me and live.”
If the Omnipotent One could G-d forbid contain Himself in a single human (relatively microscopic) image although He contains many unlimited worlds according to Eytz Chaim by the Arizal's student, anyone looking at Him would immediately die

medical benefits of a beard
ChatGPT said:
Growing a beard isn’t just a style choice—it actually has several medical benefits backed by science. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Protection from UV Rays
-
Beards can block up to 95% of harmful UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer on the lower face.
2. Prevents Skin Irritation & Acne
-
Shaving can cause razor burn, ingrown hairs, and skin irritation. A beard acts as a natural barrier, preventing these issues.
3. Keeps Skin Moisturized
-
Facial hair helps retain natural oils produced by the skin, preventing dryness and irritation.
4. Traps Allergens & Reduces Asthma Symptoms
-
A thick beard can act as a filter, trapping dust, pollen, and other allergens, preventing them from entering the respiratory system.
5. Helps Regulate Temperature
-
In cold weather, beards provide insulation, keeping the face warm.
-
In hot weather, they help by blocking direct sunlight.
6. Slows Down Aging
-
Protects the skin from wind and environmental damage, helping to prevent wrinkles and premature aging.
7. Reduces Bacterial Infections
-
Beards can act as a protective barrier against bacteria, reducing the chances of infections and breakouts from touching the face too much.
Would you like tips on beard care to maximize these benefits?

BeRachamim LeChayim on Zohar Bereisheit 47a from Chabad
-
More fundamentals are stressed, namely the importance of the Torah study in general, and the secrets of the Torah in particular, and we will ideally wrestle with the GaN (53) parshiot of the Torah.
Man cannot live by bread alone, but rather all that comes from the mouth of G‑d — the Torah messages of all levels of PaRDeS. Just because this selection helps us to satisfy our need to delve into hidden mysteries does not relieve us of our required work to build a vessel to receive such teachings.
This "cup" is the Oral Torah, and it is the receptacle of all "Above" it. Just like the Sukkah is a receiver of blessings [Sukkot has the letters Kos (cup) [tiferet], meaning the Sukkah is like a cup that gets filled with blessings from G‑d], so too should we mold ourselves to be Mekubalim, those that receive from sacred sources.
As we begin this adventure of learning these important Zohar's, it befits us to prepare the Bride ['HaKalah/the bride' is the same letters as 'Halakhah/law' or legal path to follow] and engage in the learning from the other areas (Scripture, Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, Musar, Jewish Law] from the wealth of Jewish sources.

Bereisheit 2:9
וַיַּצְמַ֞ח יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ מִן־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה כׇּל־עֵ֛ץ נֶחְמָ֥ד לְמַרְאֶ֖ה וְט֣וֹב לְמַאֲכָ֑ל וְעֵ֤ץ הַֽחַיִּים֙ בְּת֣וֹךְ הַגָּ֔ן וְעֵ֕ץ הַדַּ֖עַת ט֥וֹב וָרָֽע׃
And from the ground God יהוה caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
Again, a whole tree is compared to an Adam, highest level of man, wheras a branch is an Eish, master is a branch as its written in Judges 9:49
וַיִּכְרְת֨וּ גַם־כׇּל־הָעָ֜ם אִ֣ישׁ שׂוֹכֹ֗ה וַיֵּ֨לְכ֜וּ אַחֲרֵ֤י אֲבִימֶ֙לֶךְ֙ וַיָּשִׂ֣ימוּ עַֽל־הַצְּרִ֔יחַ
And they cut also all the people (related to Chatzir, meadow, as its written in the Song of the Fly "Indeed, the Chatzir HaAm, cut grass/moss is the people. One can cut through a grass field with a branch. Eish also starts with Aluf for master and is a parable for a bull) [Every] man a branch and walked after Avimelech and laid them on the tunnel.
Eish Shochah can be novelized on its own - "A man/master is a branch". Also according to Rabbi Simcha B of Chabad, Although Adam is the highest title for man, Eish actually represents mastery over something better, like how a spear is better suited for unexpected combat than having a tree since it is usually hard to find a good spear from a tree.
Anyway 8.5 years ago when I turned 20 and became aware of all of the grass people stalking me, my father (Rambam says one has to listen to the Torah approved commands of even wicked parents and uses the word Mimenu 'of Us' rather than Mimenah 'of her') would tell me "just enjoy it". Therefore if you are an Adam and compared to a tree and pleasing to the eyes instead of getting upset about all the grass watching you just appreciate that you are pleasing to look at and be a model citizen as in the verse I think in YeshaYaHu "On that day the stump of Yehudah will become a model citizen" and "stand up Tzadikkim to double your reward in Olam Haba" like the Rooster says. The only time I can remember staring at the grass in my yard not for gardening is when I first moved in after a drought and large patches were dead otherwise I always look at the trees and strawberries.
Etz can also mean wood on its own like the term Celei Eitz, vessels of wood, and therefore the verse in Bereisheit can be seen Etz Nechmad Lemareh, Tree or wood (a branch) that is pleasing/desirable to behold
Therefore even a person compared to a "stick" (as in someone who lives 'out in the sticks') will have "followers"

Rambam says in Hilchot Tefilot that the original obligation of prayer was that each person would pray every day according to his ability and Ezra established the fixed prayer. Imagine being able to pray any Tehillim or Pesukei Dezimra every day and on busy or difficult days cut back and then being told you have to pray the same exact 18 paragraphs 3 and sometimes 4 times a day. It becomes impossible to focus every time. About this its written "Shir Chadash! Sing a new song!" and "Their service of me is routine commands of man" and there may be an additional about lip service. The last time and many many times before that I did Shemona Esrei I took a strong tazer so I reverted to before the Shemona Esrei decree because of Bittul Nefesh - Negligence of the soul and I would highly recommend music or at least singing with it as its written "Azi veZimrat Y-h" My strength is hooked on my song [to] Y-h. The Gemara I think in Berachot says the Satin has no power when music is playing.
This is a separate obligation from Shema and if you are surrounded by heathen and the thought of a service sickens you I would at least face toward the Beit Hamikdash in Jerusalem with a shirt that is not an undershirt with my right hand over my left on my heart facing a wall in a fixed place of prayer and whisper "Todah Rabbah HaShem - Thank You very much HaShem" and I personally say "Ahavti Ayt Atah HaShem - I love You HaShem", and the Ayt, Alef-Taf again symbolizes everything, beginning to end, like A to Z with the soul of Tzeirei, alluding to Binah, Understanding. I have also heard in Artscroll's Sefer Bereisheit (not Stone Edition) that the Simichut form of a word like the first letter of the Torah, Bereisheit, that ends in Taf, symbolizes "leaning", or relying/depending on the next subject
Todah Rabbah HaShem because I have seen someone quote Rabbi Natan who said that one who thanks HaShem gains an additional level of awareness and vice versa. Ahavti Ayt Atah HaShem because Rabbi Avigdor Miller actually says its a Mitzvah to verbally declare ones love of HAShem daily and the final Nun symbolizes serving HaShem out of love as opposed to the regular Nun, serving out of fear, and the final letter contains the original letters. One cannot love something without fear of losing it, or else he or she does not really love it.

Indeed a licentious woman will separate herself/turn back/look through the window (different definitions of Vead. The window I think is a parable for light/life) [after] witnessing the bread of war - Cicar Lachem (I have read from one of the Yeshivot websites that women used to beautify themselves before going to war against the Jewish people so that they could entice the soldiers to take them according to the laws of Yefet Toar and give themselves the best chances of "striking root" and living forever as a Jewish wife) and the wife of an Eish (man/master - someone with some intentional sins but still has his Alef, bull, spiritual level) will snare a precious soul (since he is not an idolator waging war on you you cannot take his wife). The next two verses prove it:

Can a man rake embers (another man's wife is a half of him and an Eish is compared to Aysh, fire) into his bosom
Without burning his clothes?
אִם־יְהַלֵּ֣ךְ אִ֭ישׁ עַל־הַגֶּחָלִ֑ים וְ֝רַגְלָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה׃
Can a man walk on live coals
Without scorching his feet?
Another face:
Indeed (puke) - [you can] physically lean out the window [that is a] licentious woman temptation (that is actually puke) forever and witness the bread of/during war (Yefet Toar), or have her witness a loaf of bread (teach her Torah - remember that its not necessary to actually have relations, teaching a woman Torah is a metaphor for taking her to your house). And the wife of an Eish, a master of his Nefesh, blood, preciousness she traps (when she forsakes him to whore after an Adam or another precious soul) Heaven forbid!
Adar 11
וְנָתַתִּ֛י עֵ֥שֶׂב בְּשָׂדְךָ֖ לִבְהֶמְתֶּ֑ךָ וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ וְשָׂבָֽעְתָּ׃
I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle—and thus you shall eat your fill.
I will give the West, Esau (like Eisev, grass) the wicked and other coarse and wicked heathen (grass is a parable for this) in your field (your head, your world), or [who is with] your field (what you can see of the underworld of dead plant and animal matter) to be your animal (your servant, your disciple) and you will eat them and be sated, or you will eat together and be sated together.

In addition to the basic minimal prayer I think a person should say a verse or two containing the idea of each of the 6 remembrances (Exodus of Egypt, Matan (Giving of) Torah, Amalek's attack, the golden calf incident, Miriam's episode, and Shabbat to plan to make it special.
I think the Exodus from Egypt also needs to be remembered every night.

If you are married do not wear your ring on your left ring finger or ever put any metal on your left side. I tried it out for you and got heated for awhile
An argument for women not wanting to have a child because she has to carry him/her for 9 months and go through childbirth - A woman can eat a lot more food and has an increased appetite when pregnant. ChatGPT says it varies but in the later 6 months its about another meal a day. Isaiah 65(?) - "My servants shall eat"

An interesting part of the Pesach Haggadah I think about often:
רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן אַתָּה אוֹמֵר שֶׁלָּקוּ הַמִּצְרִים בְּמִצְרַיִם עֶשֶׂר מַכּוֹת וְעַל הַיָּם לָקוּ חֲמִשִּׁים מַכּוֹת? בְּמִצְרַיִם מַה הוּא אוֹמֵר? וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַחַרְטֻמִּם אֶל־פַּרְעֹה, אֶצְבַּע אֱלֹהִים הִוא. וְעַל הַיָּם מָה הוּא אוֹמֵר? וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַיָּד הַגְּדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְיָ בְּמִצְרַיִם, וַיִּירְאוּ הָעָם אֶת־יְיָ, וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בַּייָ וּבְמשֶׁה עַבְדוֹ. כַּמָה לָקוּ בְאֶצְבַּע? עֶשֶׂר מַכּוֹת. אֱמוֹר מֵעַתָּה: בְּמִצְרַים לָקוּ עֶשֶׂר מַכּוֹת וְעַל הַיָּם לָקוּ חֲמִשִּׁים מַכּוֹת.
רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי RABBI Yossei HaGelili says: How can you know
that the Egyptians were struck with ten plagues in Egypt
and another fifty at the sea?
For in Egypt it is said,
“The astrologers said to Pharaoh, ‘This is the finger of God,’”
while at the sea it is said,
“When Israel saw the great hand
the LORD raised against the Egyptians,
the people feared the LORD,
and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.”
If a finger struck them with ten plagues,
conclude from this that
THEY WERE STRUCK WITH TEN PLAGUES IN EGYPT
AND WITH FIFTY PLAGUES AT THE SEA.
רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן שֶׁכָּל־מַכָּה וּמַכָּה שֶׁהֵבִיא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עַל הַמִּצְרִים בְּמִצְרַיִם הָיְתָה שֶׁל אַרְבַּע מַכּוֹת? שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: יְשַׁלַּח־בָּם חֲרוֹן אַפּוֹ, עֶבְרָה וָזַעַם וְצָרָה, מִשְׁלַחַת מַלְאֲכֵי רָעִים. עֶבְרָה – אַחַת, וָזַעַם – שְׁתַּיִם, וְצָרָה – שָׁלֹשׁ, מִשְׁלַחַת מַלְאֲכֵי רָעִים – אַרְבַּע. אֱמוֹר מֵעַתָּה: בְּמִצְרַיִם לָקוּ אַרְבָּעִים מַכּוֹת וְעַל הַיָּם לָקוּ מָאתַיִם מַכּוֹת.
Rabbi Eliezer says: How can you know
that each and every plague
the Holy One brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt
was in fact made up of four plagues?
For it is said,
“His fury was sent down upon them,
great anger, rage, and distress,
a company of messengers of destruction.”
“Great anger” – one,
“rage” – two,
“distress” – three,
“a company of messengers of destruction” – four.
Conclude from this that
THEY WERE STRUCK WITH FORTY PLAGUES IN EGYPT
AND WITH TWO HUNDRED PLAGUES AT THE SEA.

Rabbi Akiva says: How can you know
that each and every plague
the Holy One brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt
was in fact made up of five plagues?
For it is said,
“His fury was sent down upon them,
great anger, rage, and distress,
a company of messengers of destruction.”
“His fury” – one,
“great anger” – two,
“rage” – three,
“distress” – four,
“a company of messengers of destruction” – five.
Conclude from this that
THEY WERE STRUCK WITH FIFTY PLAGUES IN EGYPT
AND WITH TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PLAGUES
AT THE SEA.

At the fairmount park resevoir in PhiladelphiY-H PA I learned one should put cords in lines on their windows so birds don't try to fly in and hit themselves. Apply this to The Ancient Parable and you can get rolls of Warrior Wrap electrical tape on Amazon for less than 1.50 each and save spiritual and physical birds of pr(a)y and birds and yourself from the horror of the knock.

Surely, if you do right,
There is uplift.
But if you do not do right
Sin couches at the door;
Its urge is toward you,

לַפֶּ֖תַח חַטָּ֣את רֹבֵ֑ץ
can be novelized as "To the opening, sin stretches out and reclines for meals."

The sages teach I think in Shabbat Bavli that after eating anything a person should eat a little salt and after drinking, water. I have found amazing results using celery salt as the song of vegetables is

After studying the Avnei Choshen Mishpat (Stones of the Priestly Breastplate) here is my opinion:
emerald - topaz - ruby
diamond - sapphire - turquoise
amethyst - agate - Amber (LeShem - another epic stone as it is a Zicharon/remembrance of HaShem and can be novelized "To HaShem!")
jasper - Onyx - beryl
I got silver/copper wire and a black leather cord and all these beads (3mm-6mm) on Etsy for around $130 to make a necklace to have these gems in this order over my heart all the time and plan on selling them on Etsy or my business website for maybe around $180

Why is Wisdom compared to water and Understanding to fire? When a person first starts learning Torah, the basic seeds of Wisdom, the new world of parables and mysteries and powers of Kabbalah are sweet like drinking water after being dehydrated or bread and honey when starved.
After a person reviews and digests the foods of Torah (burns them) he/she realizes, or Understands that his or her very existence and consciousness and ability to sense pleasures is constantly on the line and also that a rod of fiery rebuke will come even for negligent mistakes and it burns and fuels them like fire.
Tehillim 73:2
וַאֲנִ֗י כִּ֭מְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָ֣יוּ] רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽי
And I, in a moment I could have stretched my feet (desires) [for those who are, or and become] like nothing. My steps poured out, or poured out being my happinesses/fortunes. Heaven save us ANA
49:9 and 12
וְ֭יֵקַר פִּדְי֥וֹן נַפְשָׁ֗ם וְחָדַ֥ל לְעוֹלָֽם׃
the price of life is too high;
and so one ceases to be, forever.
קִרְבָּ֤ם בָּתֵּ֨ימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹתָם לְד֣וֹר וָדֹ֑ר קָרְא֥וּ בִ֝שְׁמוֹתָ֗ם עֲלֵ֣י אֲדָמֽוֹת׃
Their grave is their eternal home,
the dwelling-place for all generations
of those once famous on earth.

Adar 13
What is the parable of superheroes wearing capes? Are they aesthetic? Wouldn't they get in the way when fighting crime?
Its because when a person is eating or drinking they are compared to a superhero if they make Berachot (blessings) before and after and thereby properly elevate that soul . A person who does this will likely be wearing a Tallit, a 4 cornered garment and if he is pious and it is a Tallit Gadol (big) then he will likely throw it behind his back like a cape so it doesn't get stained (another reason many Orthodox Jews wear black). Stains on our clothing make them testify against us and they actually make a Torah scholar spiritually liable for death for belittling Torah.
(I personally wear Techeilet Rambam style)

To finish the parable on Wisdom-water and Understanding-fire a few paragraphs above, Heaven, Shamayim, can be novelized as Aysh Mayim, fire-water. A person who has learned enough Wisdom of Torah and has grown those seeds through meditating and review and has reached the level of Understanding knows that there will come a day when his free will to serve HaShem in this dark world and earn reward and honor HaShem from the depths will end. Therefore the burning fire is worth it to attain the unimaginable pleasures of The World to Come. It is said that in Avot 4:16-17
רַבִּי יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה דּוֹמֶה לִפְרוֹזְדוֹר בִּפְנֵי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. הַתְקֵן עַצְמְךָ בַפְּרוֹזְדוֹר, כְּדֵי שֶׁתִּכָּנֵס לַטְּרַקְלִין:
Rabbi Jacob said: this world is like a vestibule before the world to come; prepare yourself in the vestibule, so that you may enter the banqueting-hall.
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, יָפָה שָׁעָה אַחַת בִּתְשׁוּבָה וּמַעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, מִכָּל חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְיָפָה שָׁעָה אַחַת שֶׁל קוֹרַת רוּחַ בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא, מִכָּל חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה:
He used to say: more precious is one hour in repentance and good deeds in this world, than all the life of the world to come; And more precious is one hour of the tranquility of the world to come, than all the life of this world.
A good way to put it is the Song of the Fish in Perek Shira:
The voice of HaShem is upon the waters (the first experience of the sweet waters of Wisdom).
The voice of HaShem thunders (the burning realization that HaShem is a "Zealous G-d" and our existence hangs in the balance every day as the sages teach in Avot 'Do not be sure of yourself until the day of your death').
The voice of HaShem is upon many waters (the pleasures of TWTC and the era of Mashiach).

Another argument against the brainwashed western theory on 'enjoying being single and travelling when young'
Kiddushin 29b
רַב הוּנָא לְטַעְמֵיהּ דְּאָמַר: בֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וְלֹא נָשָׂא אִשָּׁה – כׇּל יָמָיו בַּעֲבֵירָה. בַּעֲבֵירָה סָלְקָא דַּעְתָּךְ?! אֶלָּא אֵימָא: כָּל יָמָיו בְּהִרְהוּר עֲבֵירָה.
The Gemara notes: Rav Huna conforms to his standard line of reasoning, as he says: If one is twenty years old and has not yet married a woman, all of his days will be in a state of sin concerning sexual matters. The Gemara asks: Can it enter your mind that he will be in a state of sin all of his days? Rather, say that this means the following: All of his days will be in a state of thoughts of sin, i.e., sexual thoughts. One who does not marry in his youth will become accustomed to thoughts of sexual matters, and the habit will remain with him the rest of his life.
אָמַר רַב חִסְדָּא: הַאי דַּעֲדִיפְנָא מֵחַבְרַאי, דִּנְסֵיבְנָא בְּשִׁיתְּסַר, וְאִי הֲוָה נָסֵיבְנָא בְּאַרְבֵּיסַר
Rav Ḥisda said: The fact that I am superior to my colleagues is because I married at the age of sixteen, and if I would have married at the age of fourteen,
30a
הֲוָה אָמֵינָא לְשָׂטָן: גִּירָא בְּעֵינָיךְ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבָא לְרַבִּי נָתָן בַּר אַמֵּי: אַדִּידָךְ עַל צַוְּארֵי דִּבְרָיךְ. מִשִּׁיתְּסַר וְעַד עֶשְׂרִים וְתַרְתֵּי וְאָמְרִי לַהּ: מִתַּמְנֵי סְרֵי עַד עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה.
I would say to the Satan: An arrow in your eye, i.e., I would not be afraid of the evil inclination at all. Rava said to Rabbi Natan bar Ami: While your hand is still on your son’s neck, i.e., while you still have authority and control over him, find him a wife. What is the appropriate age? From sixteen until twenty-two, and some say from eighteen until twenty-four.
כְּתַנָּאֵי: ״חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ״, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי נְחֶמְיָה, חַד אָמַר: מִשִּׁיתְּסַר וְעַד עֶשְׂרִים וְתַרְתֵּין, וְחַד אָמַר: מִתַּמְנֵי סְרֵי וְעַד עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבְּעָה.
The Gemara notes that this is like a dispute between tanna’im, based on the verse: “Train a child in the way that he should go” (Proverbs 22:6). Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Neḥemya disagreed about the age in which the verse instructs the parent to educate his child: One said that the verse is referring to the ages from sixteen until twenty-two, and one said it is referring to the ages from eighteen until twenty-four. The dispute concerning the correct age for marriage and the dispute about educating a child are the same, as while a father still has a large measure of influence over his son, he must both teach him and find him a wife.
I think the education here is referring to Gemara and Midrash since a person is obligated to start teaching his child as soon as he can speak, as Rambam says in Hilchot Talmud Torah:
מֵאֵימָתַי אָבִיו חַיָּב לְלַמְּדוֹ תּוֹרָה. מִשֶּׁיַּתְחִיל לְדַבֵּר מְלַמְּדוֹ (דברים לג ד) "תּוֹרָה צִוָּה לָנוּ משֶׁה" וּ(דברים ו ד) "שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל", וְאַחַר כָּךְ מְלַמְּדוֹ מְעַט מְעַט פְּסוּקִים פְּסוּקִים עַד שֶׁיִּהְיֶה בֶּן שֵׁשׁ אוֹ בֶּן שֶׁבַע הַכּל לְפִי בֻּרְיוֹ. וּמוֹלִיכוֹ אֵצֶל מְלַמֵּד הַתִּינוֹקוֹת:
At what age is a father obligated to teach [his son] Torah?
When he begins to speak, he should teach him Torah tzivah lanu Moshe... (Deuteronomy 33:4) and Shema Yisrael... (ibid. 6:4).
Afterwards, he should teach him [selected verses], little by little, verse by verse, until he is six or seven - depending on his health - [at which time] he should take him to a teacher of young children.
Another argument I've seen I think from one of the P'Shat commentaries is for people who say they don't want children, "What will you do in your old age?"
Its actually a Halacha to support your parents in their old age I believe (need to review specifics) like its written in Mishlei "Do not forsake your mother in her old age"
Rashi says on Mishlei that old age is also called "The days of evil" since one has less energy to serve HaShem, compared to the end of one's day (every day is a parable for a lifetime)

1 Kings 5:5
וַיֵּ֩שֶׁב֩ יְהוּדָ֨ה וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל לָבֶ֗טַח אִ֣ישׁ תַּ֤חַת גַּפְנוֹ֙ וְתַ֣חַת תְּאֵנָת֔וֹ
And Yehudah and Israel dwelt securely, every many under his vine and under his fig tree.
Midrash Tanchuma says every place Vayeishev - And he dwelt - is mentioned, it connotes misfortune. Midrash Tehillim said Shlomo had 1000 wives and each one would prepare a royal feast and proclaim he was going to dine with her (it is forbidden to be wasteful)
Also the next verse, 5:6 is about Shlomo increasing to 40k stables for his horses and 12k horsemen.
Rambam says on Dvarim 17:16 "Only [a king] may not increase for himself horses" in Hilchot Melachim UMilchamot 3:3
He may not accumulate many horses, only what is necessary for his cavalry. It is even forbidden for him to have one additional horse to run before him as is customarily done by other kings. If he adds an additional horse, he is to be lashed.
It seems that 40k stables filled with horses would be unnecessary for only 12k calvarymen, alluding to the troubles he brought upon the Kingdom David HaMelech established.
A more positive face on this verse:
Yehudah and Israel are secure when every man (Eish, master) is under his fig tree (Torah, compared to his wife) and grape vine (wife, as the Song of the Vine in Perek Shira is "Your wife will be a fruitful vine in the inner corners of your house")
I think Rashi or Ohr HaChaim say on Bereisheit that HaShem commanded all the trees to be entirely fruitful and the fig was the only tree to fulfill that command and even have edible wood. I have tasted some roots from my fig tree and they are sweet. I even tasted some soil under a fig tree in Tzfat (a person's property is an extension of himself and one can compare a tree's canopy to its real estate) and it was actually sweet like a light sugar. Therefore the fig is one of the major opinions of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Rabbi Efraim Palvanov says it was a combination of all 4 opinions, grape, fig, wheat, and apple [If I remember correctly]) as since Adam and Chayyah sewed fig leaves to clothe themselves Rashi says by the same tree they sinned with, it was the only one willing to provide them clothing.
Therefore the fig is a great tree for a Torah parable as Tehillim says "The Torah of HaShem is perfect".
Also Ohr Somayach's Perek Shira special on their site says on the Song of the Fig "he who watches the fig will eat of Her fruits" that just like one has to carefully watch a fig from pestillent bugs, dryness, etc to enjoy the best fruit, one has to constantly meditate on his Torah like Tehillim 1 says in order to be happy.
They are "under" the trees because like a man is a slave to Torah, Rabbi Avigdor Miller says a man is responsible for the happiness and success of his wife and children, therefore one's security is dependent on being submissive to the Will of HaShem.
I think this verse also discourages bee colony-like apartment living since every person should have the joy of tending a garden, like how Adam was originally a gardener. To sprout is Litzmoach - לצמוח and to rejoice is Lismoach - לשמוח
As mentioned before Sadai, my fields, can be novelized with HaShem's named Sha-dai, That That is Sufficient. Is apartment living really sufficient? If you are living in an apartment you should know there is free camping outside Boulder CO and I'm sure you can find discreet parking if you look hard enough anywhere, get a planet fitness membership or Mikveh membership for like $20 for deep showers and a fillable shower bag, a portable fillable bidet (alternatively find a spot by a stream, a metaphor for kings) and survive on delivery driving apps in order to have your own 4 walls and peace anywhere in America and maybe Israel (not sure about other places). If you do this you will need a reliable car with decent MPGs like a Toyota or older Honda or the repair expenses could make you desolate Heaven forbid (My '04 Camry was $~3k on FB Marketplace after repairs and has had no issue for almost a year of having it).
Beware of Kold Kricket Klub Kops trying to finance more members by harpooning you in the streets and piling unnecessary charges on you Heaven save us (like mentioned above the US flag bumper sticker has worked wonders for me, maybe a blue line flag would be even better lol). You can find very cheap plots of land to park on outside cities on Land.com especially out West. If you can find a remote job you can get Starlink and solar panels and have your own world on 100+ acres somewhere
Also once we get purified with the ashes of the red heifer from the impurity of the dead, if one person spiritually falls and dies and brings the Tumat Meit (death impurity) into a building, it will transfer to everyone under that roof.

Vayikra /Leviticus 6:5
אֵ֗שׁ תָּמִ֛יד תּוּקַ֥ד עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לֹ֥א תִכְבֶּֽה׃ {ס}
"A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar, do not extinguish [it]"
When the sun, the free daily fire, is up, I think one should ideally put off having relations if he can until dark since the sun provides energy to be more productive, and one loses a lot of energy after ejaculating. Also one is punished for looking at his wife naked which is hard to avoid in daylight, yet people are supposed to have relations naked to have skin to skin contact. I have heard of a man having to be reincarnated (maybe from Minchat Yehudah?) as a sheep for having relations with his wife by candlelight. This is probably another reason why the sages teach that Erev (Eve of, instead of during the day of) Shabbat after digesting dinner is the best time.
"[When the] continuous fire is upon the alter (the sun, trustworthy to continue illuminating the world every morning and is always burning on some part of Earth), do not extinguish [your fire, masters (by giving it to the woman)]"
--
Saying "Heaven/G-d forbid" is like your eraser or delete button for your programming interface if you ever need to say anything that can be understood in a negative context. Therefore in Orthodox communities you will hear people say it all the time. Also "Bli Neder" - "Without a vow". It is common to say we will do things for people like have a meal, do a favor, etc at some time and then we get discouraged when the time comes or something else happens. When we make an agreement (if they are not a treacherous cricket or ravaging boar in order to appease them to their face) then that counts as an oath and obligates us in that action. Therefore Orthodox people always say Bli Neder when making plans to exempt ourselves from any judgements.
By the way Rambam says not to eat in public (I think unless necessary) because it incurs contempt from people and it was the way of the previous generations that people would only ever eat in their houses. Like its written I think in Tehillim if not Mishlei "Their (the wickeds') souls loathe food". Therefore when they see a servant of HaShem who has given him/her an appetite enjoying food they will likely cast an evil eye on you Heaven save us.
When Balaam saw that Israel's tents were faces opposite each other so as not to gaze into each others' houses, he said "How goodly are your tents, oh Yaakov" (Bamidbar /Numbers).
Based on this it is actually a Halacha to not gaze into people's private property/windows etc without a valid reason and also I only learned this once (its always necessary to review) but after neighboring houses are established one cannot open another window facing his neighbors house (or something like that) with specifics/exceptions.

When I was researching the LeShem stone that I decided that I think is Amber, I saw a Rabbinical insight that it is made of Lynx urine. According to science it is fossilized tree resin. Maybe we can combine both opinions that a Lynx urinated on a resinous tree. If it is lynx urine, it seems like an amazing stone to deter Enoshim (men) whose bloods have been poured out and have a stronger sense of smell from pursuing you. Why? One time someone told me to collect my urine and pour it around my doors of my house to deter vile people from lining up to harass me like the Prophecy says (Isaiah?) 'Although they line up at your door.." Since the Songs of the Cat in Perek Shira are about taking down those who make their homes with the stars like a vulture and not turning back from pursuit of our enemies until we destroy them:
חָתוּל אוֹמֵר. אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כּֽוֹכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אוֹרִֽידְךָ נְאֻם־יְיָ׃ (עובדיה א ד)
The Cat is saying, “If you rise up like a vulture, and place your nest among the stars, from there I shall bring you down, says YHVH.”
וּכְשֶׁמַגִיעוֹ אוֹמֵר. אֶרְדּוֹף אוֹיְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵם וְלֹא־אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָם׃ (תהלים יח לח)
And when the cat catches it (the mouse), the cat says, “I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them, and I did not return until they were destroyed.”
therefore I think it is a great idea to get an Amber bracelet for like $10-$20 on Etsy also again considering it can be novelized LeHaShem! To HaShem! As in the Prophecy "Shuvu Banim Shovavim' - 'Return, backsliding children!'
Also when a person wakes up, they have a ton of impurity on them from evil spirits entering their empty body overnight. Therefore the Zohar teaches to reduce this and have a much better day, right after getting out of bed or even better while still in bed wash the hands with a cup alternating 3 times right then left (that is why Jewish houses have large 2 handled cups. Other than this I don't think one needs to wash this way since the impurity is at the highest level of Death and is irrelevant. Before eating one should always clean the hands but as mentioned I have trust issues with the public water supply since they can stream unseen things in any time, unless you have a private well. Maybe alcohol or homemade hand sanitizer would be good but then you run the risk of weakening your immune system. Personally I rinse the fingers after using the restroom and use that water to rub the rest of my hands and immediately dry it and since I usually never leave my house my hands are clean for meals and I don't trust it right before eating unless my hands are dirty since I suspect it as a primary source of western affliction - as mentioned anointing is compared to drinking. Remember Dave Matthews warning us screaming repeatedly in his song There's blood in the water! Don't drink the water!). For the morning washing water, you can collect this in a bucket and dump this water outside your doors (I have heard a story of someone dumping this water on plants and they all died). I did this last Friday and heard someone gasp in horror maybe 400 feet away. This is preferable to urine as that gets messy and is vile.
Another idea is that Ive seen a home (maybe multiple) in Tzfat with a large bulb of garlic outside their door. I dont know why exactly but I remember reading from the Arizal not to eat peeled garlic since an evil spirit cleaves to it. Therefore I also have some garlic hanging up (I think bloody bloodless people hate the smell)
If necessary when the heathen start heaten you Heaven forbid, a good way to cut the grass is by throwing your strong hand like a baseball outfielder with a "crow hop" (like a single skip/gallop or two) and take your stronger hand from your stronger thigh behind you and launch it with a full circular motion, all fingers Heavenwards and outwards and down, like an outfielder throwing down someone at home Beis. **Do not extend two fingers like baseball players do when they actually throw a baseball, again that would be witchcraft. (remember that sports are Shachak/dust, mockery and only permitted for exercise - nevertheless like Avot says "Who is wise? Who learns from every person". One should never embarrass their future selves by paying to attend and spectate a dusty mockery or workout session with all of the wild animals screaming profanities and Lashon Hara on the players)

Returning to the verse about the fire continuously being on the alter and comparing it to not to extinguish one's strength during the day (a few paragraphs up).
עבר עין אור איבר
From right to left --> Ever (To make pregnant), Ayin (eye, wellspring), Ohr (light), Ayvar (male organ).
Ohr can actually be read with a Tzeireih and Patach to be Ayvar phonetically exactly.
These words being similar allude to the fact that while it is day and 'the lights are on', it is like being a woman and having relations with HaShem, who has unlimited strength (it is known that the amount/length of pleasure that can be had in marital relations is dependent on the man's strength). The word day, יום Yom, can be novelized as Y-o (HaShem) and a Final Mem, Hidden Torah. It is saying it is the time for HaShem! Ideally to study the heavier aspects of Torah if one can. Also the final letters contain the first letters so it is saying study all aspects of Torah. Remember that studying Torah is compared to sexual relations. The name Y-o is an allusion to YH-VH, the name of Tiferet, Middle, Beauty, Truth, copper, Balance, the torso, and is more of a masculine and all inclusive name as opposed to Elokim, Gods associated with Gevurah, Judgement, Severity, Blood, Kingship, Riches, the left hand, and Ado-nai My Masters, associated with Malchut, Kingdom, Culmination Vessel, This World, the bottom Sefirah, the mouth and female organ
As opposed to night, לילה, Lailah, that can be novelized Li Lah - to me is her (your time to be a man and have relations with a woman). Its letters are also all used in the name Elok(h)im.
I recently came across a post on reddit/r/Judaism of a traditional Yemenite wedding ring that was on the right index finger that concurs with the logic of anatomy and electricity written about above.
Not saying everyone should go on reddit but if you pick out specialty groups and use an image blocker it can be very informational and its the best way to sell gold and silver (on /r/PMsForsale after you get a few established sales, you can sell for spot or more as opposed to taking hits at coin shops)
Why should you buy gold and silver? Again the Prophet tells us to trust no man even the members of our house. I have seen hundreds of dollars disappear with no explanation from my bank account in one day maybe multiple times (also cash decreases in value every day with inflation). When you invest in those large companies you're really giving money to idolatrous blasphemers unnecessarily. However I don't know if its actually forbidden and actually if a person has a million dollars it might be wise to invest it all in a general index fund and keep records of it and retire off 4% withdrawals a year. (We will return to you)
I decided that since Redemption is already upon us one should ideally invest in gold silver (bolted down fire proof safe) or commodities like real estate and slowly sell them off as they increase in price rather than strengthen the Kingdom of Evil since hopefully any day the gates of technology will be opened for everyone and almost all work will be unnecessary.

The stories in the Gemara of JC
Gittin 57a
אוּנְקְלוֹס בַּר קְלוֹנִיקוּס בַּר אֲחָתֵיהּ דְּטִיטוּס הֲוָה. בָּעֵי לְאִיגַּיּוֹרֵי, אֲזַל אַסְּקֵיהּ לְטִיטוּס בִּנְגִידָא, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מַאן חֲשִׁיב בְּהָהוּא עָלְמָא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: יִשְׂרָאֵל. מַהוּ לְאִידַּבּוֹקֵי בְּהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִילַּיְיהוּ נְפִישִׁין, וְלָא מָצֵית לְקַיּוֹמִינְהוּ. זִיל אִיגָּרִי בְּהוּ בְּהָהוּא עָלְמָא וְהָוֵית רֵישָׁא, דִּכְתִיב: ״הָיוּ צָרֶיהָ לְרֹאשׁ וְגוֹ׳״ – כׇּל הַמֵּיצַר לְיִשְׂרָאֵל נַעֲשָׂה רֹאשׁ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: דִּינֵיהּ דְּהָהוּא גַּבְרָא בְּמַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ:
§ The Gemara relates: Onkelos bar Kalonikos, the son of Titus’s sister, wanted to convert to Judaism. He went and raised Titus (*Titus destroyed the second Beit HaMikdash) from the grave through necromancy, and said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? Titus said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them here in this world? Titus said to him: Their commandments are numerous, and you will not be able to fulfill them. It is best that you do as follows: Go out and battle against them in that world, and you will become the chief, as it is written: “Her adversaries [tzareha] have become the chief” (Lamentations 1:5), which means: Anyone who distresses [meitzer] Israel will become the chief. Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Titus himself, in the next world? Titus said to him:
57a
בְּמַאי דִּפְסַיק אַנַּפְשֵׁיהּ – כֹּל יוֹמָא מְכַנְּשִׁי לֵיהּ לְקִיטְמֵיהּ וְדָיְינִי לֵיהּ, וְקָלוּ לֵיהּ וּמְבַדְּרוּ [לֵיהּ] אַשַּׁב יַמֵּי.
That which he decreed against himself, as he undergoes the following: Every day his ashes are gathered, and they judge him, and they burn him, and they scatter him over the seven seas.
אֲזַל אַסְּקֵיהּ לְבִלְעָם בִּנְגִידָא, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מַאן חֲשִׁיב בְּהָהוּא עָלְמָא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: יִשְׂרָאֵל. מַהוּ לְאִידַּבּוֹקֵי בְּהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: ״לֹא תִדְרוֹשׁ שְׁלוֹמָם וְטוֹבָתָם כׇּל הַיָּמִים״. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: דִּינֵיהּ דְּהָהוּא גַּבְרָא בְּמַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: בְּשִׁכְבַת זֶרַע רוֹתַחַת.
Onkelos then went and raised Balaam from the grave through necromancy. He said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? Balaam said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them here in this world? Balaam said to him: You shall not seek their peace or their welfare all the days (see Deuteronomy 23:7). Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Balaam himself, in the next world? Balaam said to him: He is cooked in boiling semen, as he caused Israel to engage in licentious behavior with the daughters of Moab.
אֲזַל אַסְּקֵיהּ בִּנְגִידָא לְיֵשׁוּ הַנּוֹצְרִי, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מַאן חֲשִׁיב בְּהָהוּא עָלְמָא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: יִשְׂרָאֵל. מַהוּ לְאִדַּבּוֹקֵי בְּהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: טוֹבָתָם דְּרוֹשׁ, רָעָתָם לֹא תִּדְרוֹשׁ, כׇּל הַנּוֹגֵעַ בָּהֶן כְּאִילּוּ נוֹגֵעַ בְּבָבַת עֵינוֹ.
Onkelos then went and raised J-sus the Nazarene from the grave through necromancy. Onkelos said to him: Who is most important in that world where you are now? J-sus said to him: The Jewish people. Onkelos asked him: Should I then attach myself to them in this world? J-sus said to him: Their welfare you shall seek, their misfortune you shall not seek, for anyone who touches them is regarded as if he were touching the apple of his eye (see Zechariah 2:12).
אֲמַר לֵיהּ: דִּינֵיהּ דְּהָהוּא גַּבְרָא בְּמַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: בְּצוֹאָה רוֹתַחַת. דְּאָמַר מָר: כׇּל הַמַּלְעִיג עַל דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים נִידּוֹן בְּצוֹאָה רוֹתַחַת. תָּא חֲזִי מָה בֵּין פּוֹשְׁעֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִנְבִיאֵי אוּמּוֹת הָעוֹלָם.
Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Jesus himself, in the next world? J-sus said to him: He is punished with boiling excrement. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he mocked the words of the Sages. The Gemara comments: Come and see the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the nations of the world. As Balaam, who was a prophet, wished Israel harm, whereas J-sus the Nazarene, who was a Jewish sinner, sought their well-being.
Sotah 47a
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: לְעוֹלָם תְּהֵא שְׂמֹאל דּוֹחָה וְיָמִין מְקָרֶבֶת, לֹא כֶּאֱלִישָׁע שֶׁדְּחָפוֹ לְגֵחֲזִי בִּשְׁתֵּי יָדָיו, וְלֹא כִּיהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן פְּרַחְיָה שֶׁדְּחָפוֹ לְיֵשׁוּ הַנּוֹצְרִי מִתַּלְמִידָיו בִּשְׁתֵּי יָדָיו.
The Sages taught: It should always be the left, weaker, hand that pushes another away and the right, stronger, hand that draws him near. In other words, even when a student is rebuffed, he should be given the opportunity to return. This is not like Elisha, who pushed Gehazi away with both hands, and not like Yehoshua ben Peraḥya, who pushed J-sus the Nazarene, one of his students, away with both hands.
...
יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן פְּרַחְיָה מַאי הִיא — כְּדַהֲוָה קָא קָטֵיל יַנַּאי מַלְכָּא לְרַבָּנַן, שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן שָׁטַח (אַטְמִינֵהוּ) [אַטְמַרְתֵּיהּ] אֲחָתֵיהּ, רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן פְּרַחְיָה אֲזַל עֲרַק לַאֲלֶכְּסַנְדְּרִיָּא שֶׁל מִצְרַיִם. כִּי הֲוָה שְׁלָמָא, שְׁלַח לֵיהּ שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן שָׁטַח: מִנַּי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עִיר הַקּוֹדֶשׁ לִךְ אֲלֶכְּסַנְדְּרִיָּא שֶׁל מִצְרַיִם: אֲחוֹתִי! בַּעֲלִי שָׁרוּי בְּתוֹכֵךְ, וַאֲנִי יוֹשֶׁבֶת שׁוֹמֵמָה! אֲמַר: שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ הֲוָה לֵיהּ שְׁלָמָא.
The Gemara returns to the incident in which Yehoshua ben Peraḥya turned away J-sus the Nazarene: What is this incident? When King Yannai was killing the Sages, Shimon ben Shataḥ was hidden by his sister, Yannai’s wife, while Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya went and fled to Alexandria of Egypt. When peace was made between Yannai and the Sages, Shimon ben Shataḥ sent him the following letter: From myself, Jerusalem the holy city, to you, Alexandria of Egypt. My sister, my husband dwells within you, and I am sitting desolate. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya said: I can learn from it that there is peace, and I can return.
כִּי אֲתָא, אִקְּלַע לְהָהוּא אוּשְׁפִּיזָא, קָם קַמַּיְיהוּ בִּיקָרָא שַׁפִּיר, עָבְדִי לֵיהּ יְקָרָא טוּבָא, יָתֵיב וְקָא מִשְׁתַּבַּח: כַּמָּה נָאָה אַכְסַנְיָא זוֹ! אֲמַר לֵיהּ יֵשׁוּ הַנּוֹצְרִי: רַבִּי, עֵינֶיהָ טְרוּטוֹת. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: רָשָׁע, בְּכָךְ אַתָּה עוֹסֵק? אַפֵּיק אַרְבַּע מְאָה שִׁפּוּרֵי וְשַׁמְּתֵיהּ. כׇּל יוֹמָא אֲתָא לְקַמֵּיהּ וְלָא קַבְּלֵיהּ.
When he came back to Eretz Yisrael, Rabbi Yehoshua arrived at a certain inn. The innkeeper stood before him, honoring him considerably, and overall they accorded him great honor. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya then sat and was praising them by saying: How beautiful is this inn. J-sus the Nazarene, one of his students, said to him: My teacher, but the eyes of the innkeeper’s wife are narrow [terutot]. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya said to him: Wicked one, is this what you are engaged in, gazing at women? He brought out four hundred shofarot and excommunicated him. Every day J-sus would come before him, but he would not accept his wish to return.
יוֹמָא חַד הֲוָה קָרֵי קְרִיַּת שְׁמַע, אֲתָא לְקַמֵּיהּ. הֲוָה בְּדַעְתֵּיהּ לְקַבּוֹלֵיהּ, אַחְוִי לֵיהּ בִּידֵיהּ, סְבַר מִדְחָא דָּחֵי לֵיהּ, אֲזַל זְקַף לְבֵינְתָּא פַּלְחַאּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: חֲזוֹר בָּךְ! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: כָּךְ מְקוּבְּלַנִי מִמְּךָ, כׇּל הַחוֹטֵא וּמַחְטִיא אֶת הָרַבִּים — אֵין מַסְפִּיקִין בְּיָדוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת תְּשׁוּבָה. דְּאָמַר מָר: יֵשׁוּ הַנּוֹצְרִי כִּישֵּׁף וְהִסִּית וְהִדִּיחַ וְהֶחְטִיא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל.
One day, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya was reciting Shema when J-sus came before him. He intended to accept him on this occasion, so he signaled to him with his hand to wait. J-sus thought he was rejecting him entirely. He therefore went and stood up a brick (object of idolatry) and worshipped it as an idol. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Peraḥya said to him: Return from your sins. J-sus said to him: This is the tradition that I received from you: Anyone who sins and causes the masses to sin is not given the opportunity to repent. The Gemara explains how he caused the masses to sin: For the Master said: J-sus the Nazarene performed sorcery, and he incited the masses, and subverted the masses, and caused the Jewish people to sin.
תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר: יֵצֶר, תִּינוֹק, וְאִשָּׁה — תְּהֵא שְׂמֹאל דּוֹחָה וְיָמִין מְקָרֶבֶת.
It is taught in a baraita that Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: With regard to the evil inclination, to a child, and to a woman, the left hand should reject and the right hand should welcome. If one pushes too forcefully, the damage might be irreversible.
-
“With what does one delight in the day of Shabbat?” the Talmud asks, recording an answer provided by Rav Yehuda, son of Rav Shmuel bar Sheilat, who recalled the words of his teacher Rav: “With a dish of beetroot, and a large fish, and heads of garlic” (Talmud Shabbat 11b).

Adar 14 Purim Somayach
If you have an extra $70 bucks or so you can go to a plumbing store and get a copper pipe a little taller than you and stuff it full of rocks gems and rubber bands and you can use it as the best body pillow ever
Also I cant remember if I ever said this but the wrist is a vital point so wearing some rubber bands on them is inexpensive and who knows how great the benefit is. So too why not a few on the ankles?

Since planting season is here for many people it is important to know the basic laws of Kilayim, mixed planting, especially grapes:
https://aish.com/planting-different-species-together-kilayim/
***I have been trying to make everywhere "Tzion" as in the land of Israel as its written in Tehillim "Indeed from Tzion comes forth the Torah and the word of HaShem from YiruShalayim." Honestly I'm not sure about contested lands but I put a row of bricks (need a fence of at least of Tefach, 4 fingers) between my sown vegetables
The Aish Rabbi quotes Rambam Hilchot Kilayim 1 and 7 and you can click it for more in depth learning.
הַתַּפּוּחַ וְהַחַזְרָד
HaTapuach and HaChazrad
The apple and the crabapple (it is forbidden to graft these as according to Rambam they are separate species). I had a good laugh at the word Chazrad, very similar to Chazir, pig, the main animal representing Esav, the West, Rome. It is a good commentary on them as it looks like a polished sweet apple on the outside but then you realize it tastes like vinegar.
In a more positive face, there are many varieties of crabapples, some very sweet. The Wickson crabapple might even be the sweetest overall apple (I've never tasted it but it has the highest sugar content). Therefore it fits that tradition says the pig, Chazir will chew its cud in the End of Days and be Kosher/Pure, as Chazir can also mean return (repent).
Also crab apples are great universal apple pollinators (regular apple trees usually need specific other kinds to pollinate, and you can't even use the same variety [e.g. growing an orchard of all honeycrisps with no other apple varieties within ~a half mile will leave a fruitless orchard]). The reasons are because they are very genetically variant as "wild" trees, have a long blooming period and a lot of sweet pollen. So too the West knows a lot of Biblical stories from their years in catholic schools and Torah from cricketing me for the past 8 years that they can "pollinate" other fruit trees and vegetables (children of Torah) with.
Mishnah Yadayim 1
הַמַּיִם שֶׁנִּפְסְלוּ מִשְּׁתִיַּת הַבְּהֵמָה, בְּכֵלִים, פְּסוּלִים. וּבְקַרְקָעוֹת, כְּשֵׁרִים
Water that animal spit fell into, vessels, impure, ground waters, Kosher/pure.
If a random voice coming from your property, your vessels, instructs you just ignore it. But if it able to "break through the gates of your house" and speak from within you, you should probably listen to it.
End of Bereisheit:
יְהִי־דָן֙ נָחָ֣שׁ עֲלֵי־דֶ֔רֶךְ שְׁפִיפֹ֖ן עֲלֵי־אֹ֑רַח הַנֹּשֵׁךְ֙ עִקְּבֵי־ס֔וּס וַיִּפֹּ֥ל רֹכְב֖וֹ אָחֽוֹר׃
Dan shall be a serpent by the road,
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that his rider is thrown backward.
"A viper by the path" - like known from Mishnah Shabbat 1:1 about the house owner reaching his hand outside his house to the poor person and dropping it into his hand while the poor person is on public property to avoid breaking the Melacha (forbidden labor) of carrying/transporting, there are other ways to circumvent Melachot like if you run out of pre ripped toilet paper you can rip more in an abnormal way (with your knees and wrists and between the pre ripped lines for example).
It is known that (originally before electric dust drones etc) sorcery would only have an effect on a person if that person also believed in sorcery. Therefore if you want to get a good core workout in your yard or a park with a metal or wooden bat and get some swings in, the heathen whose teeth are all constantly chomping will think you're cursing them and therefore curse themselves. Maybe you want to face different directions after a little to see more nature scenery while you're outside for awhile.
This is like reaching a cup of poison from your property into the public domain for your enemies and having them take it themselves and drink on Shabbat. Do not pretend to do sorcery but like I said do productive things for yourself.
Soon after I got my driver's license at 16 my good high school friend Nick Miller drove with me with his shotgun deep into the forest and we shot it in random directions. I see now he was teaching me a good milling method (practicing some long range shots ideally towards a patch of rocks or something lifeless since its prohibited to hurt plants without need or be destructive unnecessarily at all, and make sure the gun works consistently without unnecessary excess)
Also this gives new light to enjoying gum

Maybe 5 hours ago one of the salty crickets creeping on me didn't approve of one of my actions and banged on my house and tried to yell something at me but "Memulach!" got transposed over it and I may have laughed harder than I ever have in my life (probably the celery salt - its been doing that).
Memulach, like "From salt", Mimelach, as a commentary on what the West is called in Yeshayahu 18, "Am Memushach Umorat" - A people stretched out/trail seed and polished/smooth.
Also the Tehillim "He goes along weeping carrying Meshech the seed. He will surely return in song, a bearer of his sheaves."
And YechezkEl 38 about this war "Gog king of Meshech"
Fitting with the commentary with bitter crab apples and everyone I can find worshipping rocks.

Adar 16
Bereisheit 40:9-13
וַיְסַפֵּ֧ר שַֽׂר־הַמַּשְׁקִ֛ים אֶת־חֲלֹמ֖וֹ לְיוֹסֵ֑ף וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ בַּחֲלוֹמִ֕י וְהִנֵּה־גֶ֖פֶן לְפָנָֽי׃
Then the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph. He said to him, “In my dream, there was a vine in front of me.
וּבַגֶּ֖פֶן שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה שָׂרִיגִ֑ם וְהִ֤וא כְפֹרַ֙חַת֙ עָלְתָ֣ה נִצָּ֔הּ הִבְשִׁ֥ילוּ אַשְׁכְּלֹתֶ֖יהָ עֲנָבִֽים׃
On the vine were three branches. It had barely budded, when out came its blossoms and its clusters ripened into grapes.
וְכ֥וֹס פַּרְעֹ֖ה בְּיָדִ֑י וָאֶקַּ֣ח אֶת־הָֽעֲנָבִ֗ים וָֽאֶשְׂחַ֤ט אֹתָם֙ אֶל־כּ֣וֹס פַּרְעֹ֔ה וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־הַכּ֖וֹס עַל־כַּ֥ף פַּרְעֹֽה׃
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ יוֹסֵ֔ף זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנ֑וֹ שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַשָּׂ֣רִגִ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days.
בְּע֣וֹד ׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֤א פַרְעֹה֙ אֶת־רֹאשֶׁ֔ךָ וַהֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֖ עַל־כַּנֶּ֑ךָ וְנָתַתָּ֤ כוֹס־פַּרְעֹה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ כַּמִּשְׁפָּט֙ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖יתָ מַשְׁקֵֽהוּ׃
In three days Pharaoh will pardon you and restore you to your post; you will place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, as was your custom formerly when you were his cupbearer.
16-19
וַיַּ֥רְא שַׂר־הָאֹפִ֖ים כִּ֣י ט֣וֹב פָּתָ֑ר וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף אַף־אֲנִי֙ בַּחֲלוֹמִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֗ה שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה סַלֵּ֥י חֹרִ֖י עַל־רֹאשִֽׁי׃
When the chief baker saw how favorably he had interpreted, he said to Joseph, “In my dream, similarly, there were three openwork baskets on my head.
וּבַסַּ֣ל הָֽעֶלְי֗וֹן מִכֹּ֛ל מַאֲכַ֥ל פַּרְעֹ֖ה מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֹפֶ֑ה וְהָע֗וֹף אֹכֵ֥ל אֹתָ֛ם מִן־הַסַּ֖ל מֵעַ֥ל רֹאשִֽׁי׃
In the uppermost basket were all kinds of food for Pharaoh that a baker prepares; and the birds were eating it out of the basket above my head.”
וַיַּ֤עַן יוֹסֵף֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנ֑וֹ שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַסַּלִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
בְּע֣וֹד ׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֨א פַרְעֹ֤ה אֶת־רֹֽאשְׁךָ֙ מֵֽעָלֶ֔יךָ וְתָלָ֥ה אוֹתְךָ֖ עַל־עֵ֑ץ וְאָכַ֥ל הָע֛וֹף אֶת־בְּשָׂרְךָ֖ מֵעָלֶֽיךָ׃
In three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale you upon a pole; and the birds will pick off your flesh.”
With our knowledge on The Parable we can clearly see the Face of Mussar here. If one has "the vine", a fruitful Torah scholar, "The judge in your day", Lefanai, in front of his/her face, HaShem will deal kindly with you (It is known that HaShem inspires the kings of the nations).
On the contrary if your will (the top of your head) is to share loaves of cakes (bubbled over [the leavening] licentious people) with the king and the birds, the sat-ns, angels, Elokim Acheirim, other gods, or birds of prey, the wicked ruling class, like how all the idolators have grass like orgies and take turns on each other, then HaShem will lift your head from upon you, impale you on a pole, and the angels will eat you, torture you in the afterlife.
Verse 13
וְנָתַתָּ֤ כוֹס־פַּרְעֹה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ כַּמִּשְׁפָּט֙ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖יתָ מַשְׁקֵֽהוּ
And you will give the up of Pharoah in his hand (or with His Hand) like the Judgement of the Rishon (same word used in Mishnah Yadayim for how to purify people who aren't very dangerous, see above closer to the top or type CTRL+F or use the find feature on your phone's browser and type "Yadayim" if you didn't read that) - the First (people who only need one rinsing and they repent). That, you shall drink (remember when we find pricks of sorcery on our fingers we don't drink it, intend for it to have a spiritual effect).

**Pesach is approaching and its important to learn the necessary Biblically commanded laws at least
Mishnah Pesachim 3:1
אֵלּוּ עוֹבְרִין בְּפֶסַח, כֻּתָּח הַבַּבְלִי, וְשֵׁכָר הַמָּדִי, וְחֹמֶץ הָאֲדוֹמִי, וְזֵתוֹם הַמִּצְרִי, וְזוֹמָן שֶׁל צַבָּעִים, וַעֲמִילָן שֶׁל טַבָּחִים, וְקוֹלָן שֶׁל סוֹפְרִים. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף תַּכְשִׁיטֵי נָשִׁים. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כָּל שֶׁהוּא מִמִּין דָּגָן, הֲרֵי זֶה עוֹבֵר בְּפֶסַח. הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ בְאַזְהָרָה, וְאֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם כָּרֵת:
And for possessing these one transgresses [overin] the prohibitions of: It shall not be seen, and: It shall not be found, on Passover, although not all of them are considered food: Babylonian kutaḥ, a dip with a sharp flavor that contains flour; Median beer; Edomite vinegar; Egyptian zitom, a type of beer; dyers’ broth [zoman]; bakers’ well-worked dough; and kolan of soferim. Rabbi Eliezer says: The same prohibition also applies to women’s adornments, i.e., cosmetics, that contain leaven. This is the principle: If one possesses any substance that is derived from a type of grain that became leavened, although it is not actually bread, one transgresses the prohibitions of: It shall not be seen, and: It shall not be found, on Passover. These substances are included in the warning, i.e., the biblical prohibition of possessing leaven, but there is no element of karet if one eats them.
I like how וְחֹמֶץ הָאֲדוֹמִי "And Edomite vinegar" can be novelized on its own as "And vinegar, [that is] the Edomite."
Basic laws of the Seder
Remember that for the Rabbinic Mitzvot in times of distress like now if it is difficult one can drop them. Also according to the last chapter of Mishlei/Proverbs that was actually a Prophecy righteous people with portions of The World to Come should not drink alcohol, but those who are spiritually desolate to use up all of their good merit in joy before ceasing to be. Does the Rabbinic Mitzvah to drink 4 cups of wine in one night not seem treacherous? Is it not written YeshaYaHu/Isaiah 5:11
ה֛וֹי מַשְׁכִּימֵ֥י בַבֹּ֖קֶר שֵׁכָ֣ר יִרְדֹּ֑פוּ מְאַחֲרֵ֣י בַנֶּ֔שֶׁף יַ֖יִן יַדְלִיקֵֽם׃
Ah,
Those who chase liquor
From early in the morning,
And till late in the evening
Are inflamed by wine!
It can be interpreted not as from early in morning until late in evening, but each on its own, Woe to those who drink in the morning strong drink. They pursue from after twilight wine and get inflamed.
Therefore I also saw on Ohr Somayach's page here (click)
that if one has difficulty with wine he can use grape juice and since its Rabbinic I think its preferable to use grape juice or at least mixed half/half. Can anyone not accustomed to alcohol drink 4 cups of wine in one night without trouble? Does wine not taste like death and grape juice like life?
It would also be a great idea to see Ohr's Pesach page by clicking the underlined words to see how to properly get all the leavening out of your house on Erev Pesach on Nissan 14 (April 12) especially since that day is Shabbat. Don't worry about Kitniyot (bean products, corn, rice, mustard, peas, and other grains), Sephardim have the most pure Masorah (Tradition).
Why?
Consider this parable:
There was a pious Jewish family with a few brothers. Some of them got kidnapped and imprisoned (to other nations) while one remained at home (in the land of Israel). The exiled brothers were eventually released, but when they came back they had variations in some of their Hebrew letters and Halachot. A Ger (convert/traveller) finds them and asks them to convert him, but there are a few very variant traditions. If you are the Ger, are you choosing the brother's tradition who stayed at home all those years or those with Goyim (nations) influences?
Nevertheless Sephardim accepted the Shulchan Aruch despite what seems like Yosef Caro having his cup out for animal spit (his Maggid, familiar spirit) to compose it therefore Yemenite Jews have the best Halacha since they completely accepted Rambam who is clearly an apple tree. For example, the maggid promised Yosef Caro a martyr's death that never happened. HaShem's words are always fulfilled. Also the Maggid spoke by moving Yosef's mouth. Was this a Holy Spirit of HaShem or a Dybbuk test trap? Since we remove ourselves from doubt Rambam seems like the obvious choice. HaShem says in YeshaYaHu "Upon my children will you ask me?"(?) that one can only ask HaShem about the signs of the times, not about His Children since it should be obvious He inspired their righteousness, yet it is not obvious to me when someone provides food from a Maggid and not through his own strenuous labor, as in the song of the Donkey
בְּהֵמָה גַּסָּה טְמֵאָה אוֹמֶרֶת. יְגִיעַ כַּפֶּיךָ כִּי תֹאכֵל אַשְׁרֶיךָ וְטוֹב לָךְ: (תהילים קכח ב)
The Working Animal is saying: “When you eat the fruit of your strenuous labors, happy are you and good is your lot.”
Again its Anochi, Ana Nafshi Cetavit Yehavit - Oh! I pray, My Soul (Blood) in Writing is given.
Implying HaShem doesn't just send spirits to pour our water for us through our mouths like a necromancer. (again unless you were working on your own and HaShem sent a Sat-n in your way to talk through your mouth or nose, your ground waters, not your property, your vessels)
Kitzur SA 151:4
בִּסְעוּדַת הַלַּיְלָה, לֹא יַרְבֶּה בַאֲכִילָה וּבִשְׁתִיָה, וְלֹא יֹאכַל דְּבָרִים הַמְחַמְּמִים אֶת הַגוּף, כְּגוֹן בָּשָׂר שָׁמֵן וְכָל מַאַכְלֵי חָלָב וּגְבִינָה וּבֵיצִים וָשׁוּם. גַּם לֹא יִשְׁתֶּה מַשְׁקֶה הַמְחַמֵם, כִּי דְבָרִים אֵלּוּ גּוֹרְמִים לְחֵטְא זֶה.
At supper you should not eat or drink excessively nor eat any foods that tend to heat the body, such as fat meats, all milk products, cheese, eggs, and garlic. Neither should you drink a beverage that tends to heat the body, for these things cause the committing of this sin.
He's essentially saying to have a Parve (no meat or milk) dinner every night while HaShem "sells" the Land of Israel to us in the Torah as a "land of milk and honey". Bread and butter or cheese is a staple for many poor people
Pleasures are referred to as "His Staff" in the Tehillim that the fallen world desperately needs to stand (Like my Rosh Yeshivah in Dvar Yirushalayim Baruch Horowitz was telling me)
Nevertheless a man having seminal omissions should take note and cut back on aphrodisiac foods during dinner to save the souls of his children incarnated in his sperm cells.

Something important to know
Malachai 2:3
הִנְנִ֨י גֹעֵ֤ר לָכֶם֙ אֶת־הַזֶּ֔רַע וְזֵרִ֤יתִי פֶ֙רֶשׁ֙ עַל־פְּנֵיכֶ֔ם פֶּ֖רֶשׁ חַגֵּיכֶ֑ם וְנָשָׂ֥א אֶתְכֶ֖ם אֵלָֽיו׃
I will put your seed under a ban, and I will strew dung upon your faces, the dung of your festal sacrifices, and you shall be carried out to its [heap].
Rambam says this verse, specifically "I will strew dung upon your faces" apply to people who eat until the belly swells after already being satisfied. At this point you are no longer uplifting the souls within the food since they are not beneficial for your body, and "making dung" out of them. HaShem deals with us measure for measure.
---
Although the spiritual Shabbat is here, the consensus I hear is that since we still have to pay taxes and avoid being arrested by the evil regimes, we still need to do 2 days of Yom Tovim outside of Israel. This may even always continue to be the case, as there are opinions that this was instituted by the Neviim (Prophets) or by Yehoshua Bin Nun because according to the Arizal one can only absorb all of the holiness of the Holy Day in one day in the land of Israel, whereas outside The Land it requires two days (like a simile of how a torch provides the most light to those right next to it).
If you have a job at least in the US they are obligated to religiously accomodate you and you are obligated to have no fear of a person whose blood has been poured out or who has no free choice, HaShem, Elokim Tzevaot, (The Hosts of Gods, the Name associated with the Sefirah of Hod, Splendor, Concealment, the left leg) will surely bless you for working for Him. The worst that can happen is that you enjoy a year of unemployment check funded retirement.
After reconsidering that nowadays the multitudes of grass people are much more powerful and load up torture dust drones on our bodies G-d save us, I would say it is a medical necessity to wash the entire body at least once every two days if not more considering the build up of heathen torture toys on the body so I would say everyone can take hot showers as necessary for themselves (like after being in public for awhile). Too often is also not good because it dries the body out
Like the sages say, better to extinguish a flame on Shabbat than a person's soul G-d forbid and it only takes one unchecked hand or foot "curse" (more like a video game controller attack button) to ruin one's day with electricity, may Heaven please swiftly uproot such people forever.
My father (again even wicked parents are called Mimenu, From Us as opposed to from her, Mimenah) used to implore me to take showers after times when being in public for awhile.
We are actually obligated to break Shabbat and Yom Tov Melachot (forbidden labors) if there is any question about saving a life or only a chance that a life will be saved/lengthened and I believe hot showers can definitely save lives (from a spiritual blasphemic eternal death H'F', infinitely worse than a physical death) in these dusty times.
Some context for a Gezeirah Shavah (like-decree) comparison from Steinsaltz' Mishnah Shabbat 2:5:
הַמְכַבֶּה אֶת הַנֵּר מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מִתְיָרֵא מִפְּנֵי גוֹיִם, מִפְּנֵי לִסְטִים, מִפְּנֵי רוּחַ רָעָה, וְאִם בִּשְׁבִיל הַחוֹלֶה שֶׁיִּישַׁן, פָּטוּר. כְּחָס עַל הַנֵּר, כְּחָס עַל הַשֶּׁמֶן, כְּחָס עַל הַפְּתִילָה, חַיָּב. וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי פּוֹטֵר בְּכֻלָּן חוּץ מִן הַפְּתִילָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא עוֹשָׂהּ פֶּחָם:
One who extinguishes the lamp on Shabbat because he is afraid due to gentiles, from whom he is hiding in his home, and due to thieves, or if one is afraid due to an evil spirit, i.e., he is depressed and prefers sitting in the dark, or if he extinguished the flame due to the sick person so that he will sleep, he is exempt. However, in a case where he extinguishes the flame in order to spare the lamp, spare the oil, or spare the wick, he is liable. Rabbi Yosei exempts him in all of those cases, as in his opinion no labor prohibited by Torah law is being performed by extinguishing the flame, except for the case where he seeks to spare the wick. Only in that case is extinguishing a creative action because he makes the wick into charcoal by extinguishing the flame.
**Not saying one should rely on their own opinion in doubt but sometimes you have to until you can ask someone who has studied the topic

Since I made light of Edomites with the novelty on the Mishnah calling them vinegar, its Yehudah's turn
Mishnah Demai 1:1
וּבִיהוּדָה, הָאוֹג, וְהַחֹמֶץ שֶׁבִּיהוּדָה
And in Yehudah, [specifically] the Og (like Gog, those who have assimilated to the Goyim and are like a body now instead of a head. Og is a red sumac berry), and the vinegar that is in Yehudah (from mixing with the nations) - [are all dealt with leniently with the Demai tithe]
Maasrot 1:2
הָאוֹג וְהַתּוּתִים, מִשֶּׁיַּאְדִּימוּ. וְכָל הָאֲדֻמִּים, מִשֶּׁיַּאְדִּימוּ
The Sumac and the Mulberries/Strawberries, when they become red (root ADM, like Edom), and so too all red (ADM) fruits, when they redden (they become liable to tithing).
Therefore see that Og, Sumac, is associated with Edom. There are Sumac and Mulberry trees everywhere in PinaShalomYah (PA) (at least, but the ecosystem is similar along the whole NE US, the original main part of it) as opposed to mostly Olives Figs and Date Palms in Yisrael
Chabad's definition of Demai
Demai is produce which is forbidden by rabbinic law due to the uncertainty of whether the necessary tithes were separated.
It is the produce given from what the Mishnah calls "Am HaAretz" - People of the Land (simple people, like modern day Reform/Conservative Jews).
Therefore it is more of a positive face as its saying although Yehudah has become vinegar like from eating Gogot (heathens), it isn't necessary to tithe it again. This is either because he is still trusted or in the face of Steinsaltz Berachot Bavli 40B, because they are of inferior quality.
Maybe interpret the Og in Yehudah as those still trustworthy as a living tree fruit (or since no one really eats Sumac its also inferior) and the vinegar as not liable because it's less in quality, the grapes that got pressed and left to age and get aerated (air-o-gant) and became vile.
Back to Am HaAretz
Bereisheit 34:1
וַתֵּצֵ֤א דִינָה֙ בַּת־לֵאָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָלְדָ֖ה לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב לִרְא֖וֹת בִּבְנ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
It was for this reason that Shechem ended up raping Dinah and the episode with Shimon and Levi happened where they desecrated the whole city as the next verse says:
וַיַּ֨רְא אֹתָ֜הּ שְׁכֶ֧ם בֶּן־חֲמ֛וֹר הַֽחִוִּ֖י נְשִׂ֣יא הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּקַּ֥ח אֹתָ֛הּ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אֹתָ֖הּ וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ׃
Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, chief of the country, saw her, and took her and lay with her and disgraced her.
It is extremely important not to go out to visit the "daughters of the land" Ohr HaChaim says based on the extra words "In the land of Canaan" in Bereisheit, that another name for this world is the Sat-n. Therefore see that the verse is saying Dinah went to "hang out" or "chill" with idolatrous women. Remember that the Gra says one loses his or her spiritual level on account of going out among the people.
Mishlei Eishet Chayil, the Prophecy chapter from Baat Sheva, in one face is about Sarah, who was greater in prophecy than Avraham.
Bereisheit 18:9
וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵׄלָ֔יׄוׄ אַיֵּ֖ה שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתֶּ֑ךָ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנֵּ֥ה בָאֹֽהֶל׃
They said to him, “Where is your wife Sarah?” And he replied, “There, in the tent.”
Rashi comments that she was a modest women.
Tehillim/Psalms 45:13
כׇּל־כְּבוּדָּ֣ה בַת־מֶ֣לֶךְ פְּנִ֑ימָה מִֽמִּשְׁבְּצ֖וֹת זָהָ֣ב לְבוּשָֽׁהּ
All of her glory, the daughter of The King, is within. Her clothes are chequered with gold.
Would anyone wear gold chequered clothing in public replete with vicious animals?
If "The beauty/truth/balance of a man is to dwell in his house" (Isaiah) and the Gra says to pay a messenger 2-3x the price for one's needs and begs Heaven that a man should not leave his home, how much more so a woman?

A good question for those with "large families" - are you a star wars clone drone or a cutting from a fig tree?

Tehillim 94:3
עַד־מָתַ֖י רְשָׁעִ֥ים ׀ יְהֹוָ֑ה עַד־מָ֝תַ֗י רְשָׁעִ֥ים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃
How long shall the wicked, O LORD,
how long shall the wicked exult,
Another novelty: Until when will the wicked be HaShem (will HaShem be the wicked) and He exalt Himself through the wicked? (by enacting retribution through them for the sins of those He plans to keep)
Verse 12
אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ הַגֶּ֣בֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶ֣נּוּ יָּ֑הּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ֥ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃
Happy is the man whom You discipline, O LORD,
the man You instruct in Your teaching,
Rashi:
אשרי הגבר. אשריהם הצדיקי' המעוני' תחת ידיכם ובלבד שיהו עוסקין בתורה ובמצות:
Fortunate is the man: Fortunate are the righteous who are afflicted under Your hands, provided that they engage in Torah and Mitzvoth.
13
לְהַשְׁקִ֣יט ל֭וֹ מִ֣ימֵי רָ֑ע עַ֤ד יִכָּרֶ֖ה לָרָשָׁ֣ע שָֽׁחַת׃
to give him tranquillity in times of misfortune,
until a pit be dug for the wicked.
Rashi:
להשקיט לו מימי רע. כי היסורין גורמין לו להשקיט להם מימי דין גיהנם עד שיראה שיכרה לרשע שחת:
To grant him peace from days of evil: For the chastisements cause him to have peace from the days of the judgment of Gehinnom. while he sees that a pit is dug for the wicked man.

Another layer to add to the severity of the Brit BeSefat (Covenant with the lips)
Bereisheit 34:2-3
וַתִּקַּ֨ח צִפֹּרָ֜ה צֹ֗ר וַתִּכְרֹת֙ אֶת־עׇרְלַ֣ת בְּנָ֔הּ וַתַּגַּ֖ע לְרַגְלָ֑יו וַתֹּ֕אמֶר כִּ֧י חֲתַן־דָּמִ֛ים אַתָּ֖ה לִֽי׃
So Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched his legs with it, saying, “You are truly a bridegroom of blood to me!”
וַיִּ֖רֶף מִמֶּ֑נּוּ אָ֚ז אָֽמְרָ֔ה חֲתַ֥ן דָּמִ֖ים לַמּוּלֹֽת׃ {פ}
And when [God] let him alone, she added, “A bridegroom of blood because of the circumcisions.”
Verse 3 says as "And she sank down From Us at that time. She said a bridegroom of blood because of the circumcisions.
At first if one heard her say only verse 2, one would wonder whether she was planning on "eating" Moshe's child as heathens do (convert him to star worship and have incest or actually eat, as in "the bloods of my husband to me [to consume, or for an idol offering]" H'F'). Especially considering her name is Tziporah, female bird, similar to Balak ben Tzipor, King of the Moabites who hired Balaam's counsel against Israel and caused the giant public orgy. His name translates to "Devastator, son of Bird"
Therefore all of the underworld spectators that HaShem inspires judged her and "brought her low" and she realized the mistake in her speech (as is easy to do) and the seed it was sowing and corrected herself, she "brought herself low" From Us, and "pursued" (Yirdof, a novelty on Yiref) Us by "fixing" the covenant she made in her speech by adding "The Covenants (of Torah)" to it.
Sefer HaYashar by Rebbeinu Tam compares Tzipporah's righteousness to the Matriarchs.
I should note that when I was in Yeshivat Hadar HaTorah in Crown Heights, one of the teachers told me a story that Rashi (Rebbeinu Tam's grandfather) said to Rebbeinu Tam after Rebbeinu Tam formed his alternative opinion on the order of the parchments of Tefillin: "Ever since you were little I knew you would come to argue with my opinions." Therefore if I understand what Rashi was saying correctly, I personally only wear Rashi's Tefillin (remember ideally Sefardi/Yemenite [if you can find] script - I've never even found a Yemenite Jew and the only synagogue I can find online didn't answer my message) as opposed to some's custom to also put on Rebbeinu Tam Tefillin, as its written "Dominate the world and rule over it with the fish of the sea" Singular fish (Rabbi), Dag haYam, not plural, Dagim (ideally). As much as I love the Arizal I don't like the idea of Chassidic scripts since they aren't attached to any Mesorah/Tradition, rather intentionally made, and HaShem is called in Isaiah 45:11
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֧ר יְהֹוָ֛ה קְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְיֹצְר֑וֹ הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת
the "HaShem - The Holy One of Israel and Former of the Letters"
Does it not seem like a not good idea to intentionally alter letters when its written
Dvarim/Deut 13:1
אֵ֣ת כׇּל־הַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָנֹכִי֙ מְצַוֶּ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֔ם אֹת֥וֹ תִשְׁמְר֖וּ לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת לֹא־תֹסֵ֣ף עָלָ֔יו וְלֹ֥א תִגְרַ֖ע מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ {פ}
Be careful to observe only every word I enjoin upon you: neither add upon It nor take away from Us.
?
As implied by Adam keeping the name Adam after unintentionally sinning, even the greatest men among us can still have unintentional errors, potentially deadly.
When looking up Davar (word/speech) I saw the Gra proven when he said the mouth is the Kadosh Kadashim - Holy of Holies when I saw the innermost sanctuary is called Devir. Also plague is Dever as the Sages teach "All of man's toil is for his mouth" (from speaking negative things on himself and others H'F'). Dever is also pasture since your mouth is like a field that you can plant anything.
By the way the best way to trap people so no one accuses you of a form of witchcraft. Mishnah Sanhedrin 10:1 says one who whispers over a wound the verse "I am The Lord your Physician" has no place in The World to Come (since he/she shows contempt for HaShem's name). I figured this was different since in that case one should be glad like mentioned in Tehillim 94 a few paragraphs above that they were afflicted and their pain is paying off their spiritual debts, or that like the Prophecy "We considered him hated but it was our sins he was bearing to make us whole"(?) that they are helping out the whole world (Tikkun Olam) in an epic act of Tzedakkah (Charity). Whereas when one intentionally "programs" themselves with their speech, it is because everyone's right to exist hangs in the balance as the Adams of the field are being sieged against by The Master of War every day and in this case we are ensuring the survival of our souls.
Anyway like the Shabbat 1:1 novelty the best way to avoid the argument is to read the last verse of the 3rd paragraph of the Shema after saying the actual verse every morning and every night as the Mitzvah of remembering the Exodus from Egypt - it is like HaShem already has his hand outside The House into the public domain, begging us to take Eternal Infinite bliss this way.
BaMidbar Numbers 15:41
אֲנִ֞י יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר הוֹצֵ֤אתִי אֶתְכֶם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִהְי֥וֹת לָכֶ֖ם לֵאלֹהִ֑ים אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ {פ}
I Am The Lord you God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I Am The Lord your God.
The Torah is filled with the words "I Am The Lord your God" (Vayikra 19:2-3, 23:22, 19:34, 23:43, etc..) so having someone read any of those to you would work. If you see a Jew (even the simple conservative/reform ones went to Herbew school and can read) maybe ask them to read it in Hebrew for you to hear how it sounds, specifically the remembrance of the Exodus to get them to fulfill that Mitzvah.
Or just learn any verses like these for the sake of Torah study (one is obligated to read verbally when its Hebrew) and then maybe learn a commentary or analyze the letters or see if you can find any novel faces, or just study the Hebrew if you are a sapling:
Bereisheit/Genesis 17:1
וַיְהִ֣י אַבְרָ֔ם בֶּן־תִּשְׁעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְתֵ֣שַׁע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיֵּרָ֨א יְהֹוָ֜ה אֶל־אַבְרָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֲנִי־אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים׃
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, יהוה appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Ayl Shaddai (Almighty G-d). Walk in My ways and be blameless.
Hosea 14:9
אֶפְרַ֕יִם מַה־לִּ֥י ע֖וֹד לָעֲצַבִּ֑ים אֲנִ֧י עָנִ֣יתִי וַאֲשׁוּרֶ֗נּוּ אֲנִי֙ כִּבְר֣וֹשׁ רַעֲנָ֔ן מִמֶּ֖נִּי פֶּרְיְךָ֥ נִמְצָֽא׃
Ephraim [shall say]:
“What more have I to do with idols?
When I respond and look to [God],
I become like a verdant cypress.”
Your fruit is provided by Me. (JPS '23)
Chabad's translation:
Ephraim; What more do I need the images? I will answer him and I will look upon him: I am like a leafy cypress tree; from Me your fruit is found.
(The Syrian Juniper is a type of leafy cypress native to Israel with berry-cones with high sugar content)
Probably by far the best one:
Shemot/Exodus 3:14
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר כֹּ֤ה תֹאמַר֙ לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And God said to Moses, “Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh,” *Meaning of Heb. uncertain; variously translated: “I Am That I Am”; “I Am Who I Am”; “I Will Be What I Will Be”; etc. continuing, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites, ‘Ehyeh *Others “I Am” or “I Will Be.” sent me to you.’” (JPS '06 w/ footnotes)
- I personally like "I Will Become" according to one of Jastrow's terms on the word "Ehyeh" instead of "I am" which is 'Ani' and "That" (Asher, that is written) instead of "What" (I Will Become) since What is 'Mah' -also a less Holy Divine Name on its own)
-This name corresponds to the Sefirah of Keter (Crown), Will/Desire, Infinity, Pure Goodness/Kindness, the highest Sefirah, the crown of the head and the right thumb/big toe

If you ever read my Google doc you saw that I once talked about one of my high school friend's father who was a Gibor Meod (Extreme warrior) teach me that if you want to immediately knock someone out in a fight, hook them right under the ear. If you feel your fist to this spot, it is where the head connects to the neck. The sat-n people have weak heads and the gog people have weak necks for some reason if you didn't know. Therefore this covers both and you won't have to guess what evil shade tree they live under if you ever have to fight one.
-Also be careful if they are much taller than you you don't throw your shoulder out with a strong handed haymaker (I did this once). The proper stance I was taught is to be sideways with your weak foot in front and to jab and hook with your weak hand. If you train for a little the hook can get very good and its much faster than taking your strong hand in a full circle. The only punches I was taught with the strong hand is a straight line to the nose and an uppercut.
You should be on the balls of your feet with your fists protecting your face and elbows in to protect your body (body shots are worse than face shots except the nose) and light, moving around bobbing and weaving your head unpredictably, and throwing jabs to establish your range, like 'calibrating' (like checking Google maps to see what way Jerusalem is to pray to). It is much harder to land punches in an actual fight than you think, considering the other person has their guard up, is bobbing and weaving, and throwing punches (and is probably on steroids H'F'). Therefore this helps with accuracy. And when you punch you twist your ankle of the hand you are throwing with outwards while on the balls of your feet and breathe out so you don't get the wind knocked out of you while unprotected H'F'
Also when you punch you throw with (from/using) your shoulder muscles, not your hand and you should extend it quickly to make it snap. I was told the snap is key to a good punch.
If you need to knock an attacking animal heathen out while wrestling if H'F' you ever encounter such a scenario, if you can get behind them put their Adam's apple (or where it would be) in the crevice of your elbow and grab the bicep of your other arm. Its easy to do it either way. Put the second hand not on a bicep on the back of the head and squeeze (your first arm in front of their neck with their adams apple in your elbow crevice and your second hand pushing the back of their head into it). This will cut their blood off and knock them out in seconds.
It says the chokehold cuts off air instead of blood so the picture on the left is better (the chokehold would be extremely painful and take longer and lead to panic fueled flailing resistance):
**On the mobile version for some reason its at the bottom of the page
If you are on the ground wrap your legs over (on top of) and within the other person's legs, called "hooks", so they can't reverse you H'F' like this:
It works in any position on the ground


Mishlei/Proverbs Eishet Chayil 31:17
"She girds her loins with strength and strengthens her arms"
This is another reason why one should have a staff in the forest/nature or cane (in questionable public scenarios), not only to purify by pushing and pulling with it, but to use it as a baseball bat against a salt brined vicious heathens' head if necessary H'F'
The Alter Rebbe says one who wrestles with a dirty person always becomes dirty. [You mix souls with them, get their oils and dusts etc. on you and have to eat through all their curses H'F'.]
I remember reading I think in the Gemara/Talmud David HaMelech saying that its very important to train the army in archery, I assume for this reason. The best way I've found to get a good accurate slingshot shot off is to hold it sideways (my left hand is stronger and I hold the slingshot with my left, not sure of the proper hand for people whose right is stronger). My thumb extends to the bottom fork of the slingshot, I load the clay/stone into the pocket and pinch it with my right thumb over the curled fingers.
**Very important - I then bend the wrist forward (its uncomfortable at first) to make my right thumb parallel to my left thumb, holding the pouch from the inner side. I then bend it back looking through my right eye to a strong restraint and its actually impressively accurate and quick. (careful you don't hit your face on the release)
For David HaMelech this was enough to take down the Nephillim (if I remember correctly) Goliath meaning a fallen angel/human hybrid that are giants (he was over 10 feet tall).
Nevertheless David HaMelech was "different" as they say.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל רֹעֶ֨ה הָיָ֧ה עַבְדְּךָ֛ לְאָבִ֖יו בַּצֹּ֑אן וּבָ֤א הָאֲרִי֙ וְאֶת־הַדּ֔וֹב וְנָשָׂ֥א שֶׂ֖ה מֵהָעֵֽדֶר׃
David replied to Saul, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and if a lion or a bear came and carried off an animal from the flock,
וְיָצָ֧אתִי אַחֲרָ֛יו וְהִכִּתִ֖יו וְהִצַּ֣לְתִּי מִפִּ֑יו וַיָּ֣קׇם עָלַ֔י וְהֶחֱזַ֙קְתִּי֙ בִּזְקָנ֔וֹ וְהִכִּתִ֖יו וַהֲמִיתִּֽיו׃
I would go after it and fight it and rescue it from its mouth. And if it attacked me, I would seize it by the beard and strike it down and kill it.
גַּ֧ם אֶֽת־הָאֲרִ֛י גַּם־הַדֹּ֖ב הִכָּ֣ה עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽ֠הָיָ֠ה הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֨י הֶעָרֵ֤ל הַזֶּה֙ כְּאַחַ֣ד מֵהֶ֔ם כִּ֣י חֵרֵ֔ף מַעַרְכֹ֖ת אֱלֹהִ֥ים חַיִּֽים׃ {ס}
Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and that uncircumcised Philistine shall end up like one of them, for he has defied the ranks of the living God.
וַיֹּאמֶר֮ דָּוִד֒ יְהֹוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִצִּלַ֜נִי מִיַּ֤ד הָֽאֲרִי֙ וּמִיַּ֣ד הַדֹּ֔ב ה֣וּא יַצִּילֵ֔נִי מִיַּ֥ד הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖י הַזֶּ֑ה {ס} וַיֹּ֨אמֶר שָׁא֤וּל אֶל־דָּוִד֙ לֵ֔ךְ וַיהֹוָ֖ה יִהְיֶ֥ה עִמָּֽךְ׃
The LORD,” David went on, “who saved me from lion and bear will also save me from that Philistine.” “Then go,” Saul said to David, “and may The LORD be with you!”
According to Google the lions that were native to Israel and went extinct ~800 years ago are the Asiatic lions (click), not cougars/mountain lions or other big cats.

For the Choshen Mishpat stones I listed a few days ago I like Rashi's opinion that they go in order of descending birth (top right and across)
Reuben - Ruby - אֹ֤דֶם - Odem (like Adam or Edom)
Shimon - Topaz - פִּטְדָה֙ - Pitdah (Pat Dai, bread/food is sufficient)
Levi - Emerald - בָּרֶֽקֶת - Bareket (like Birkat, Blessing [of])
Yehudah - Turquoise - נֹ֥פֶךְ - Nofech (close to Nafal, to fall or Nashach, to bite. Better Hafoch, to turn over like Pirkei Avot 5:22 says
בֶּן בַּג בַּג אוֹמֵר, הֲפֹךְ בָּהּ וַהֲפֹךְ בָּהּ, דְּכֹלָּא בָהּ. וּבָהּ תֶּחֱזֵי, וְסִיב וּבְלֵה בָהּ, וּמִנַּהּ לֹא תָזוּעַ, שֶׁאֵין לְךָ מִדָּה טוֹבָה הֵימֶנָּה:
Ben Bag Bag said: Turn it over, and [again] turn it over, for all is therein. And look into it; And become gray and old therein; And do not move away from it, for you have no better portion than it.)
Dan - Sapphire - סַפִּ֖יר - Sapir (Lesaper is to relate, making sense why Heaven is made of Sapphire bricks in the visions of the Torah, since we relate Torah Wisdom Understanding and Knowledge to experience Heaven. BDB says Sapir can also be Lapis Lazuli)
Naphtali - Diamond - יָהֲלֹֽם - YAHalom (Chalom, חלום, is a dream. So its like having a blessed dream)
Gad - Amber - לֶ֥שֶׁם - Leshem (To HaShem! Alternatively close to Lashon, 'tongue')
Asher - Agate - שְׁב֖וֹ - Shevo (Sh-kai Comes - Shin Bo)
Yissachar - Amethyst - אַחְלָֽמָה - AchlaMah (To wish for Mah [What, a name of HaShem] or OchelMah - to eat What. Or Ohel Mah, Tent of What)
Zevulun - Beryl - תַּרְשִׁ֥ישׁ - Tarshish
Yosef - Onyx - שֹׁ֖הַם - Shoham (anagram for HaShem)
BenYamin - Jasper - יָשְׁפֵ֑ה - YAHShfay (Y-H is Al-mighty (Shin) in the World, the Peh, mouth, alluding to this lowest world. Or, Yesh Peh, there is a Malchut, Kingdom)

Here (click) is a great resource for learning about the different Hebrew scripts. You can see that the Sephardi and Ashkenazi scripts come from Masorah while the Chassidic scripts were innovations. (Although it says there is no written tradition for the Sephardic script, the fact that Sephardim all over the world have adopted it and there is no tradition that anything was intentionally altered means we can assume it was received). Nevertheless according to Footnote 3, our great fish of the sea, the Rambam seems to be very lenient with the letters and says they are valid as long as a child can read them (sorry about that).

Once a few years ago I was emailing Rabbi Michael Schulman of AskNoah telling him about my distresses and he told me to recite Tehillim/Psalms 109 and it actually worked very well.
I see now that he knew it was about me and the evil house owner of Yehudah. I also see that Bowser from Mario is about him since he hides behind the Magen (shield) of David, his bloodline. Anyway praying this Psalm should help you and everyone good a great deal.
Link to Psalm 109 on Chabad
Bereisheit 49:19
גָּ֖ד גְּד֣וּד יְגוּדֶ֑נּוּ וְה֖וּא יָגֻ֥ד עָקֵֽב׃
He will form a large troop and raid the heels
Please muster the strength to at least pray it in your mind even in English or your native tongue its only 31 sentences and will speed things along. (Rambam says one can pray in the mind during distressing times)

Why do I say (Genesis) Chivshuhah Ordu Bidgat HaYam - "Dominate over the world and rule over it with the fish of the sea (singular Torah scholar, Dag)" and ideally not ask other fish (Dagim or I think the Hebrew would read Bidgei or Bidgatei)? Like the Mitzvah of not grafting different species of fruit trees, I have heard once from Rabbi Chaim Coffman that it is forbidden for Jews to go "Rabbi shopping" and get different opinions for convenience sake unless he really believes his Rabbi is wrong about something (as you have seen I definitely can be as I am called the "poor man" by Torah and don't have a religious family or community since everyone I have met is too dangerous to consistently be around, like the "daughters of the land" spoken about above H'F' and like Rambam Hilchot Diot 6 says to stay to oneself in such generations).
Ideally you should first try to find it yourself in Rambam's Mishneh Torah. I like to use Google and the AI's (the Rabbi AI's started off great and got increasingly more inaccurate) as a sort of 'Table of Contents' to find sources, or the Sefaria search bar and filters (the problem with Sefaria is the different English translations on different words). Right now ChatGPT is working the best. If not then usually Google will bring up articles from Chabad, OU, Aish, etc etc (ideally use the main ones like the Yeshivot, Chabad, and Kosher Certifying sites like OU and CRC. If not, dig around and make sure it is an Orthodox website, not anything less like conservative/dox, messianic or anything secular and make sure they quote sources/explain their logic) that will usually quote their sources on the topic.
As you can see Tehillim 109 calls me the Eish-Oni, "Master of being a poor man."
Or as you know how I like to novelize it, Eish-Oneg, "Master of delights" lol
Bereisheit 49:14
יִשָּׂשכָ֖ר חֲמֹ֣ר גָּ֑רֶם רֹבֵ֖ץ בֵּ֥ין הַֽמִּשְׁפְּתָֽיִם׃
He wins the clay (bodies) and bones, (or of Geirim [converts]) crouching between the sheepfolds, or instead read Bein Hamishpachot, between families

To add to the Mishnah Yadayim about animal spit falling in your ground water, this may only be true if you are electrically grounded (people used to have dirt floors for most of history and I'm guessing everyone used to carry sticks/staffs to ground themselves to the floor since leather shoes are insulators)

In my first few months of Yeshiva at Hadar HaTorah in Brooklyn, I remember feeling overwhelmed with how vast the Torah is and telling my teacher YirmiYah "its like chipping away at an ice berg." His response was "Yes, but its all water."
In the words of the sages, "There is no water other than Torah." Even if it seems like a giant ice berg you can survive on the melted ice chips that you come pick at if you have the vessel of the fear of HaShem to hold it, like the parable of the Bahir and one needing this vessel to carry honey otherwise he gets punished for carrying it in his clothes and ruining the clothes and honey. In this case wasting the water you needed in treacherous freezing conditions.
Ice bergs are made of freshwater floating on saltwater oceans
--
Back to the "Crouching between the families" novelty. The Bahir says something about "If you didn't know how to properly do something, you should have looked around you to see how everyone else is doing it." Although its written
YirmiYah 50:6
צֹ֤אן אֹֽבְדוֹת֙ (היה) [הָי֣וּ] עַמִּ֔י רֹעֵיהֶ֣ם הִתְע֔וּם הָרִ֖ים (שובבים) [שׁוֹבְב֑וּם] מֵהַ֤ר אֶל־גִּבְעָה֙ הָלָ֔כוּ שָׁכְח֖וּ רִבְצָֽם׃
My people were lost sheep: their shepherds led them astray, they drove them out to the mountains,
it is still better than acting blind and ignoring Torah obligations.
If you need to escape zombies and want to fulfill Rambam Hilchot Diot 6 and flee to nature, I think it is much more advisable to find a field or desert than a mountain with trees as this provides many hiding places for the "creepers" and bird drones. Although this is very dusty and forbidden when I was young I used to watch this ninja anime called Naruto that is actually very insightful into how the warlocks are fighting each other and they were always hiding behind trees stalking each other in the forests (they just use guns instead of throwing knives)
"Indeed the Adam is a tree of the field"
Forests are associated with the Sefirah of Gevurah, (Severity, blood, judgement, richness) whereas fields are associated with Yesod (I assume based on the Divine Name Sh-dai being associated with it and Sadai is "my fields") that is the Foundation (culmination)

How to not get pulled over and tortured by Kold Krickets in the US
My grandfather is a mason (the upper illuminati triangle people) and he told me when I was young to always set the cruise control on no more than 9 mph over on the highways and you will be fine. When I was older my father's friend was a retired state kop and confirmed. However out of state you should set it to no more than 4 mph over (my father told me he was recently pulled over in WV going less than 10 over..). If not its easy to zone out and hit 15+ over where you become a harpooning wing spearing target H'F'.
Be especially careful when having an out of state license plate and always come to a complete stop at stop signs and red lights where you can turn right (unless you look for kops first). Always use your turn signals and if a cop is ever going extremely slow on a one way passable highway, better to just tough it out and set cruise control and enjoy the ride because if you don't give him enough space (3 car lengths?) he will pull you over and fund more Krickets etc H'F'. Maybe take the next exit for a few minute break and get back on.
In more suspect situations better to just keep your hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock like they teach (top left and top right of the wheel).
Make sure your inspection stickers are always up to date as I've been pulled over for this before in the middle of my home town.
Again the US flag bumper sticker has been the Rosh Pina (cornerstone)
Also for parking avoid private lots where you are sitting ducks H'F'. You can go to freecampsites.net to avoid any liability
Otherwise you will have to be cunning and blend in somewhere
If you respect the "smooth" fake pureness of the pig and how it likes to display its pure part, the split hooves by looking like a perfect citizen, you will have smooth sailing on these Memulach (more than salty) seas.
If you own your own 4 walls unattached to someone else better to just stay in your house like HaShem through YeshaYaHu and the Vilna Gaon say and you can ground yourself in your basement whenever you want

Bereisheit 27:40
וְעַל־חַרְבְּךָ֣ תִֽחְיֶ֔ה וְאֶת־אָחִ֖יךָ תַּעֲבֹ֑ד וְהָיָה֙ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר תָּרִ֔יד וּפָרַקְתָּ֥ עֻלּ֖וֹ מֵעַ֥ל צַוָּארֶֽךָ׃
Yet by your sword you shall live,
And you shall serve your brother;
But when you grow restive,
You shall break his yoke from your neck.”
It is said (I think in Artscroll Stone Edition) that Esau's weapon is the sword but for Yaakov/Yisrael its the Kol, voice, as in the voice of prayer.

*** Important
I once read from a book called The Wisdom of the Zohar Vol 2 or 3 that the dirt under the fingernails is associated with or is the form(?) of evil. Chat GPT concurred that the Zohar says this and elaborated but it seems the source may have been inaccurate. Either way it definitely make sense.
I learned in Yeshiva Temimi Derech in Tzfat years ago from the book Ayin Beit (A Chabad Chassidic Sefer/book) that the hair comes from impurity because it is a "Yeish Meiayin" - a something from nothing as it grows from your head, and the same can apply to fingernails. Rambam says kings are required to cut their hair every day.
It is very important to keep the fingernails trimmed as soon as you notice some dirt is accumulating especially considering the gates of technology being opened for most people (who knows what could be under there Heaven save us!).
My mother (remember parents are From Us) had a vial of tea tree oil in the living room when I was young and Chat GPT says that it has antimicrobial/antifungal properties and if you apply it below the nail it can prevent dirt build up. Also its good for inflammation, ingrown, brittle nails, and yellow nails as it strengthens the nails.
Here is a great article on the best practices for cutting the nails and disposing of them by burning (if you live in an apartment H'F' I have heard flushing is the next best option). This will also be great incense for your "neighbors"
Article link
Although it says to cut from Wed to Fri for Shabbat and the closer the better, if you were forgetful and notice a dirt buildup I think it would make sense that the danger existing would require you to cut them ASAP and maybe see if you can give them another trimming Erev Shabbat
The last paragraph is especially amazing:
The Zohar explains that the forces of impurity are very much connected to the part of the fingernails that protrude above our fingers and are cut off.21 The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that, on a personal level, the “fingernails” represent the part of us that can be used to prick and scratch someone. Thus, the importance of cutting our nails teaches us that before we interact with others, and specifically before rebuking someone, we need to “pare our own nails first.” We must ensure that any rebuke is given not to satisfy our own urge to criticize or belittle, but solely with the benefit of the person in mind.22

My college Biology professor at Dickinson College taught me this government website of science experiments, PubMed, and they are actually admitting that miswak sticks are better than toothbrushes
at this link here
Nevertheless it seems my toothbrush brushes better although it doesn't have the natural antimicrobial effect. I think I have had much thicker sticks in the past though.
Here is the main ingredient from a"Kosher" toothpaste called Supersmile:
Sodium Monoflurorophosphate
Does anyone want to rub this inorganic compound into their mouth two times a day for the rest of their lives?
Does anyone want to do or have the sterile tools to do all of the science experiments themselves to see if its actually safe to consume even in this dose being the number one ingredient listed? What about the other inorganic chemicals listed? Remember even anointing is like drinking and this is inside the mouth, the Holy of Holies.
Remember Rabbi Avigdor Miller suggests one may be able to clean just as well with water and not expose oneself to chemicals.
Remember Micah HaNavi warns in Chapter 7
אַל־תַּאֲמִ֣ינֽוּ בְרֵ֔עַ אַֽל־תִּבְטְח֖וּ בְּאַלּ֑וּף מִשֹּׁכֶ֣בֶת חֵיקֶ֔ךָ שְׁמֹ֖ר פִּתְחֵי־פִֽיךָ׃
Trust no friend (This can also be novelized "Do not trust in the evil",
Rely on no intimate (Intimate here can be novelized as Elef, thousand, instead of Aluf, Friend/Master/Champion as in do not follow the masses);
Be guarded in speech
With her who lies in your bosom.
Shemot 23:2
לֹֽא־תִהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרֵֽי־רַבִּ֖ים לְרָעֹ֑ת
"Do not be (Follow. The Taf is a feminine future plural prefix) after the multitudes to evil."
Or you can choose to do it and share cakes with Pharaoh and the birds for a little while longer and then die forever God Willing.

I once tested the water with strips on an Hskyhan filter that also removes the Flouride and my tap water had a ton of microplastics and other impurities whereas the Hskyhan was almost, if not then perfect, I think identical to bottled water. So I think with no microplastics it is probably good for washing the hands before eating. Ideally one should wash with a cup 3 times like the sages say, one reason is because the vessel poured water comes out much stronger than most taps and get all the Shachak dust demons off you. Its not necessary to wash like a Kohen for no reason. This was instituted by shlomo who we know was not a valid witness (intentionally breaking Mitzvot)
Shabbat Bavli 14b-15a
וְאַכַּתִּי, שְׁלֹמֹה גְּזַר! דְּאָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁתִּיקֵּן שְׁלֹמֹה עֵירוּבִין וּנְטִילַת יָדַיִם, יָצְתָה בַּת קוֹל וְאָמְרָה: ״בְּנִי אִם חָכַם לִבֶּךָ יִשְׂמַח לִבִּי גַם אָנִי״, ״חֲכַם בְּנִי וְשַׂמַּח לִבִּי וְאָשִׁיבָה חוֹרְפִי דָבָר״! — אֲתָא
The Gemara asks further: Still, the matter is not clear, as the decree of hands was issued by King Solomon. As Rav Yehuda said that Shmuel said: At the time that Solomon instituted the ordinances of eiruv and of washing hands to purify them from their impurity, a Divine Voice emerged and said: “My son, if your heart is wise my heart will be glad, even mine” (Proverbs 23:15), and so too: “My son, be wise and make my heart glad, that I may respond to those who taunt me” (Proverbs 27: 11). The Gemara responds: Came
15a
שְׁלֹמֹה גְּזַר לְקׇדָשִׁים, וַאֲתוֹ אִינְהוּ וּגְזוּר אַף לִתְרוּמָה.
Solomon and decreed impurity on hands to prohibit contact with consecrated items,
Does it not seem like Heaven is telling shlomo to go back on his added commandments and then He will be glad? Then shlomo blasphemed?
For example by starting with "If your heart will be wise" implying it is not acting wisely since He could have stated a non ambiguous verse.

If you don't have Kosher restaurants or grocery stores near you like me, grocery stores in the US (at least in the NE) have tons of Kosher foods. I got an electric griddle for like $20 from Walmart (since its electric it doesn't need dipped in a Mikveh whereas metal and glass utensils usually need dipped 3 times in a stream or pure body of water). It can be used as a Blech on Shabbat once it is covered in metal foil.
I once said based on Moshe's words Chazak Veematz to Yehoshua, "Be strong and resolute" that I thought it was a great idea to quickly make and eat Matzah fried in oil, but Rambam says not to do this often. There are many Kosher breads, a main one is Dave's.
Also the Starkist flavoured tuna packets are amazing. I like to fry some slices of bread and the tuna packet in butter and it makes an amazing sandwich.
The Morningstar Farms buffalo chicken patties taste exactly like real buffalo chicken sandwiches.
There is one brand of cheese called Cabot I can find in my local grocery stores that has the Tablets K Hechsher but apparently this is actually not reliable according to many opinions. There is a website I just found called Kosh.com where you can find Kosher meats and cheeses with only $25 shipping.
Alternatively many grocery stores sell Hebrew National hotdogs and if you only bought one electric plate for dairy, you can roast it on a stick with a propane torch (to not cook meat and milk together).
Also Eggo waffles (especially the blueberry and chocolate chip) fried in butter with syrup are amazing.
The best idea when the waters get a little warmer is to stock up on Kosher wild fish (with scales) like sunfish, crappie, perch etc.
Another idea is to get a deep freezer and take a road trip to the nearest Kosher grocery store and stock up.
Rabbi Avigdor Miller says bread gets sweeter the more you chew it and break it down into sugar.
Honestly bread fried in butter with salt is tastier than most of the restaurant dishes I have ever had
Pirkei Avot 6:4
כַּךְ הִיא דַּרְכָּהּ שֶׁל תּוֹרָה, פַּת בְּמֶלַח תֹּאכַל, וּמַיִם בִּמְשׂוּרָה תִשְׁתֶּה, וְעַל הָאָרֶץ תִּישַׁן, וְחַיֵּי צַעַר תִּחְיֶה, וּבַתּוֹרָה אַתָּה עָמֵל, אִם אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה כֵן, (תהלים קכח) אַשְׁרֶיךָ וְטוֹב לָךְ. אַשְׁרֶיךָ בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וְטוֹב לָךְ לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא:
Such is the way [of a life] of Torah: you shall eat bread with salt, and rationed water shall you drink; you shall sleep on the ground, your life will be one of privation, and in Torah shall you labor. If you do this, “Happy shall you be and it shall be good for you” (Psalms 128:2): “Happy shall you be” in this world, “and it shall be good for you” in the world to come.
This implies that if you accept the Yoke of Heaven then everything in your universe will be good. Whereas if you fulfill Tehillim 2:1-6 H'F'
לָ֭מָּה רָגְשׁ֣וּ גוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְאֻמִּ֗ים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃
Why do nations assemble,
and peoples plot vain things;
יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָ֑חַד עַל־יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃
kings of the earth take their stand,
and regents intrigue together
against the LORD and against His anointed?
נְֽ֭נַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵ֑ימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִ֖יכָה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃
“Let us break the cords of their yoke,
shake off their ropes from us!”
יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׂחָ֑ק אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃
He who is enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord mocks at them.
אָ֤ז יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֵ֣ימוֹ בְאַפּ֑וֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנ֥וֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃
Then He speaks to them in anger,
terrifying them in His rage,
וַ֭אֲנִי נָסַ֣כְתִּי מַלְכִּ֑י עַל־צִ֝יּ֗וֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי׃
“But I have installed My king
on Zion, My holy mountain!”
I guarantee you you will get plowed.
I once read from Living Mussar Everyday by Rabbi Tzvi Miller that a trait of arrogant people is that they often eat rich foods.
1 Kings 5 23
וַיְהִ֥י לֶֽחֶם־שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְי֣וֹם אֶחָ֑ד שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים כֹּר֙ סֹ֔לֶת וְשִׁשִּׁ֥ים כֹּ֖ר קָֽמַח׃
Solomon’s daily provisions consisted of 30 kors of semolina, and 60 kors of [ordinary] flour,
עֲשָׂרָ֨ה בָקָ֜ר בְּרִאִ֗ים וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים בָּקָ֛ר רְעִ֖י וּמֵ֣אָה צֹ֑אן לְ֠בַ֠ד מֵאַיָּ֤ל וּצְבִי֙ וְיַחְמ֔וּר וּבַרְבֻּרִ֖ים אֲבוּסִֽים׃
10 fattened oxen, 20 pasture-fed oxen, and 100 sheep and goats, besides deer and gazelles, roebucks and fatted geese.
Remember that Rambam says one should only eat meat every once in awhile when he or she desires it...

When putting on head Tefillin it seems many people misplace it so I think it is wise when putting it on in the morning that you get a small mirror, line the box up in the middle of the head and rub it up and down in a straight line in the middle a few times right above the hairline so that it will have been in the proper place for at least a moment. **Remember when being harassed or in distress one can pray in the mind
For prayers, Rambam says (Berachot 24b) to pray in a whisper that is only audible to himself unless he or she is alone and can't hear themselves and needs to raise it a little. However I have learned in Yeshivat Dvar YiruShalayim from Rabbi David Gilberg that when one is making a Berachah/Blessing around other people he needs to make it audible so they can answer "Amen" that is even greater than the blessing because it was witnessed and accepted.
When it comes to the Mitzvah of studying Torah when its written in Hebrew out loud, Rambam says in Hilchot Talmud Torah 3:12
"And he who audibly recites the words in his studies, will retain them, but he who studies in a whisper is liable soon to forget."
I have also heard before from Bnei Torah that its kind of like the "louder the better" (up to a certain point - don't make it obnoxious)

As for cooking dairy and chicken or other Kosher birds, chicken and cheese is absolutely delicious and again we do not add to HaShem's Torah and make service of Him routine commands of man. The verse says "Do not seethe a kid in its mother's milk" that exludes birds according to the sages because they obviously don't have milk. Better to fulfill the Scriptural Mitzvah of not adding or subtracting to the Torah than whoever made the freezing "mitzvah" to prohibit to our palates what the Torah permits. Yes, the valid judge in our day is all that we have and we cannot go right or left from what he says, but if he tells us to violate a Torah prohibition we need to make tree war "it is time to act for HaShem, they have made void His Torah". As is known through the Tanach the spiritual state of the Jewish people was not very great even after witnessing the miracles of HaShem in the wilderness as in the words of Moshe
Dvarim (the final Book of Moses) 9:24
מַמְרִ֥ים הֱיִיתֶ֖ם עִם־יְהֹוָ֑ה מִיּ֖וֹם דַּעְתִּ֥י אֶתְכֶֽם׃
As long as I have known you, you have been defiant toward יהוה.
Therefore I think the safer path is to not add a commandment rather than obey a strange command of men that HaShem did not speak. As is known, Eve originally fell because Adam added the extra commandment to her to not even touch the Tree of Knowledge although that was fine (HaShem's command was not to eat from it) and didn't explain to her that that was extra. Then when the snake pushed Eve into the Tree and nothing happened this fueled her evil inclination H'F'.
Is everyone completely conscious of when they are choosing to buy, prepare and eat white chicken meat as opposed to bloody red meat/beef? I have never confused them in my 28 years of life and my mind gets pulled in different directions all the time Heaven save us.
Especially the "Memulach" saltier than salt Western cultured people being extremely sensitive to everything and very very particular about what they touch and look at, even every body movement! How much more so what they eat!
Darim 34:2
הַצּוּר֙ תָּמִ֣ים פׇּֽעֳל֔וֹ
The Rock, Perfections is His Works.
Instead see
The Rock (Halachah)
and read Tamim, perfections, as טעמים Ta'amim - Logical reasoning foundation/tastes
The Rock[s of Halacha], work logic/reasoning into them for a good flavor.
See that logically the Torah never prohibited birds and dairy so work that flavor into and enjoy the taste in your Rock House (your Torah).
YeshaYaHu/Isaiah 29:13
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲדֹנָ֗י יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י נִגַּשׁ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה בְּפִ֤יו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו֙ כִּבְּד֔וּנִי וְלִבּ֖וֹ רִחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי וַתְּהִ֤י יִרְאָתָם֙ אֹתִ֔י מִצְוַ֥ת אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מְלֻמָּדָֽה׃
My Sovereign said:
Because that people has approached [Me] with its mouth
And honored Me with its lips,
But has kept its heart far from Me,
And its worship of Me has been
A social obligation, *social obligation Lit. “commandment of men.” learned by rote—
(JPS '23)
Alternatively since everyone is embittered and blassy H'F' permit birds and dairy as a "staff of pleasure" to use for the Mitzvah of loving HaShem and not spiritually dying through rebellion H'F'.
See that we are still largely unredeemed without our Kingdom and Beit HaMikdash and many Jewish people are still split trees in the winter exile from keeping all of their leaves of Rabbinic obligations on during the snowstorm H'F'.
YeshaYaHu 6:13 (intentionally, as in the 613 Torah Mitzvot)
וְע֥וֹד בָּהּ֙ עֲשִׂ֣רִיָּ֔ה וְשָׁ֖בָה וְהָיְתָ֣ה לְבָעֵ֑ר כָּאֵלָ֣ה וְכָאַלּ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׁלֶּ֙כֶת֙ מַצֶּ֣בֶת בָּ֔ם זֶ֥רַע קֹ֖דֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּֽהּ׃ {פ}
“But while a tenth part yet remains in it, it shall repent. It shall be ravaged like the terebinth and the oak, of which stumps are left even when they are felled: its stump shall be a holy seed.”
Rashi:
like the terebinth and like the oak which, at the time of their casting, when they cast off their leaves during the fall, one casting after another casting, until nothing is left in it except the trunk, they too, the holy seed found in its midst, adhering to their holiness, they will be to Me as the trunk; another explanation of מַצַּבְתָּהּ is: its planting. Therefore, I will not destroy them, for I planted them as holy seed. Some explain that there was a Shallecheth Gate in Jerusalem, as it is stated in Ezra (I Chron. 26:16, written by Ezra), and there, terebinths and oaks were planted.
As I have heard from the sheepfold, "We do not forbid what the Torah permits"
Even shlomo himself (alternatively he was just pointing Ash-medai to talk for him) after making the mistakes of adding prohibitions said in Kohelet/Ecclesiastes 7:16
אַל־תְּהִ֤י צַדִּיק֙ הַרְבֵּ֔ה וְאַל־תִּתְחַכַּ֖ם יוֹתֵ֑ר לָ֖מָּה תִּשּׁוֹמֵֽם׃
Do not be overly righteous and don’t act the wise man to excess, why become desolate/appalled?
Appalled from the Torah after all of the extra unnecessary obligations sicken you and desolate when you spiritually die from it and cease to be Heaven save us!
A better source from Nedarim YiruShalmi 9:1
רִבִּי דִימִי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יִצְחָק. לֹא דַייֵךְ מַה שֶׁאָֽסְרָה לָךְ הַתּוֹרָה אֶלָּא שֶּׁאַתָה מְבַקֵּשׁ לֶאֱסוֹר עָלֶיךָ דְבָרִים אֲחֵרִים. לֶאֱסוֹר אִסָּר
Rebbe Dimi in the name of Rebbe Yitzhak: Is the judgements of what the Torah forbids to you not sufficient, but that you seek to prohibit upon yourself other things? To prohibit is prohibited.
Tehillim/Psalms 127
שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֗וֹת לִשְׁלֹ֫מֹ֥ה אִם־יְהֹוָ֤ה ׀ לֹא־יִבְנֶ֬ה בַ֗יִת שָׁ֤וְא עָמְל֣וּ בוֹנָ֣יו בּ֑וֹ אִם־יְהֹוָ֥ה לֹא־יִשְׁמׇר־עִ֝֗יר שָׁ֤וְא ׀ שָׁקַ֬ד שׁוֹמֵֽר׃
A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, They labour in vain that build it; Except the LORD keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.
A song of ascents to shlomo (from the Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit - according to Mesorah the Tehillim were all written with Ruach HaKodesh that is a lesser revelation of Heaven than prophecies). There is a break after HaShem asking us to ask why or look at why its there.
"To shlomo, if [you will be with] HaShem, (Eem can also mean with), or "If you will be a mother (Aym, the same letters) for HaShem", as in feminine/submissive to Him to raise His Children properly.
Then interpret the rest from the break -
Do not build [My] House (Halachot), in vain do your people build in it. (Do not add or subtract from Torah)
If HaShem will not guard the city (people's bodies are like cities where the Good inclination and the Evil inclination wage war over its control according to the Alter Rebbe in Tanya), in vain does your guardian watch (the extra Mitzvah you added as a 'fence around the Torah' Heaven save us)

Chullin 89a
אמר רבי יצחק מאי דכתיב (תהלים נח, ב) האמנם אלם צדק תדברון מישרים תשפטו בני אדם מה אומנותו של אדם בעולם הזה ישים עצמו כאלם יכול אף לדברי תורה תלמוד לומר צדק תדברון יכול יגיס דעתו ת"ל מישרים תשפטו בני אדם
Rabbi Yitzḥak says: What is the meaning of that which is written: “Do you indeed [ha’umnam] speak as a righteous company [elem]? Do you judge with equity [meisharim] the sons of men” (Psalms 58:2)? The verse is interpreted as follows: What should be a person’s occupation [umanut] in this world? He should render himself silent as a mute [ilem]. If so, one might have thought that he should render himself as a mute even with regard to words of Torah. Therefore, the verse states: “Speak as a righteous company,” indicating that one should speak the righteous words of Torah. If so, he might have thought that one who speaks words of Torah has the right to become arrogant. Therefore, the verse states: “Judge with equity [meisharim] the sons of men.” Even a learned judge must take extra care to judge with equity, and not assume that he will immediately arrive at the correct understanding.
This may be my most thought about Fig of Torah since I learned it maybe 4-5 years ago considering the "yapping" epidemic and Esau the master of knowledge of trapping and master of the field (Bereisheit 25:27) trying to hunt our souls by getting us to speak evil things H'F'
Here is what our master, the Vilna Gaon says on this in his Letter for the Ages:
"What should be a man's pursuit in this world? He should be silent" (Chullin 89a). One must seal his lips as tight as two millstones. Idle words are like powerful weapons which can reach from one end of the world to the other. Now this is true concerning mere excessive speech. Where forbidden speech is concerned - e.g. lashon hara, mocking, swearing, vowing, fighting and cursing - especially in the synagogue, and on Shabbat and Yom Tov - for every utterance of this type it is impossible to imagine the pain and suffering one will receive (Zohar)! No word is lost; everything is recorded.

If you made your own Choshen Mishpat replica necklace there is an opinion that one should not take it into the restroom and it isn't pious to make. There is still "What" to rely on in that others say it is nothing like a replica as there are no straps, fabric, Tumim (internal Torah parchment) and correct settings. I will return about making them into a single row instead of having a breastplate replica.
Even if it is not pious we are using it in severe times as reminders and inspirations to HaShem to save souls and as possible electrical protection as people will be discouraged from tazing your heart directly H'F' to save your own soul since the zombies worship "the Rock (gods that HaShem sends as troubles upon us like how one stubs his or her toe on a rock)" so I like the latter opinion if you prefer

YechezkEl 1:27
וָאֵ֣רֶא ׀ כְּעֵ֣ין חַשְׁמַ֗ל כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵ֤שׁ בֵּֽית־לָהּ֙ סָבִ֔יב מִמַּרְאֵ֥ה מׇתְנָ֖יו וּלְמָ֑עְלָה וּמִמַּרְאֵ֤ה מׇתְנָיו֙ וּלְמַ֔טָּה רָאִ֙יתִי֙ כְּמַרְאֵה־אֵ֔שׁ וְנֹ֥גַֽהּ ל֖וֹ סָבִֽיב׃
From what appeared as the loins up, I saw a gleam as of electrum—what looked like a fire encased in a house; and from what appeared as the loins down, I saw what looked like fire. There was a surrounding radiance.
(One face is that the grassy people that eat with their sexual organs primarily have no house - are stealthy homeless people or live underground lol. The people on HaShem's body from the waist up have gold, silver, and copper and a house 'Yesh, substance' as in the Mishnah - I will endow My Lovers with Yesh [numerical value of 310 worlds, I have heard as in 310 times all the pleasures of this world].)
Electrum is a natural alloy of gold, silver, and copper
According to science, one way silver, gold, and copper form is by being in a liquid state in a superheated fluid (remember demons are like hot waters) from magma underground (hell) and they precipitate (form into a solid) into cracks in rocks (they try to make teeth, idolotrous rock worshippers into Sarah)
Mishnah Yadayim 1:3
שִׁמְעוֹן הַתִּמְנִי אוֹמֵר, אֲפִלּוּ נִתְכַּוֵּן לִשְׁרוֹת בָּזֶה וְנָפַל לַשֵּׁנִי, כְּשֵׁרִים:
Shimon HaTimni says, even if he intended to make his princess out of her(s) and fell to their teeth, it is valid (the water for purification). (One can only take one Yefet Toar at a time)
Dr. Joshua Kulp's translation:
Shimon of Teman says: even if he intended to soak his bread in one water and it fell into another water the water is valid.
(His bread, "Sarah" or in this call we will call her "Shaiynah" as in Shaiyn, tooth, got her water from another (sexually) as I have been warning us as the people have been warning me, or she drank [accepted] from the Wisdom of idolators/atheists or conservative/reform Jewish "Am HaAretz, people of the land". Or, she was playing two real men [pure cups of water] at the same time H'F')
Interpret it the same way for a woman and Sar (Sarat - the prince of [her]), instead of Sarah, princess
ChatGPT says gold forms in quartz (a semi-precious(?) light giving stone) whereas silver and copper usually form in alloyed rocks with Ag or Cu in them.
In this way, Shane or Shainah exposes the previously hidden "fish", pure people in the waters to the world when they were inspired to get a job and house for them (See Ohr Somayach's special on Perek Shira Song of the Fish) or when she lives in his/their (remember they are bloodless flying soul specks that take and switch control of each others' bodies) house and they fall back to their rocky ways. (The solid gold/silver/copper is found in fractures in (cleaving to) less precious rocks. Silver mines are stuffed with quartz and they get kicked around (disregarded, according to my brother BenYamin who worked in one)
Bereisheit 2:24
עַל־כֵּן֙ יַֽעֲזׇב־אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־אָבִ֖יו וְאֶת־אִמּ֑וֹ וְדָבַ֣ק בְּאִשְׁתּ֔וֹ וְהָי֖וּ לְבָשָׂ֥ר אֶחָֽד
Therefore, a man will leave his father (Alef-Taf, all of them) and his mother (all of them) and cleave in his wife and they will be one flesh.
Don't cleave to non precious rocks kings and queens.
Be like the gold that settles in riverbeds (remember Rashi says rivers are metaphors for kings)
ChatGPT:
🔹 Placer Deposits
-
Over time, weathering and erosion break gold from rocks, and rivers carry the heavy gold particles downstream.
-
Gold settles in riverbeds and forms placer deposits, which people pan for.
Or like the strong copper that separates itself out from hell:
🔹 Magmatic Deposits
-
When magma cools underground, it crystallizes, and copper separates out into concentrated deposits.
-
This happens in porphyry copper deposits, which are major sources of copper worldwide.
Apparently Chashmal/electrum forms this way as well and seems to be HaShem's choice. It also forms like gold in quartz veins and riverbeds. Quartz does give off a beautiful light and is useful for clocks and is still considered a "gem"
Nevertheless does anyone want to cleave to someone compared to quartz for the rest of eternity when they could have had an emerald, turquoise, ruby, onyx, sapphire or diamond or another of the Mishpat stones set in them? Proof of this is ruby is Odem, same root as Adam. Or someone else compared to the electrum metals?
Unless it is a large and beautiful specimen apparently the quartz is either ground to dust or the gold dissolved out by The Prospector
Like Mishlei 6:26 says,
וְאֵ֥שֶׁת אִ֑ישׁ נֶ֖פֶשׁ יְקָרָ֣ה תָצֽוּד
The wife of an Eish-man/master (in this case like a quartz), a precious soul she will trap (she will divorce after she finds and flirts with and "traps" an Adam - electrum, precious stones).
Traps because the Adam is either unaware she is married or because he is aware and she is conflicting him with flirtation as he cannot flirt with a non idolatrous owner-of-his-flesh man's wife (who is not part of the war on him), and is already obligated to keep speech to the bare minimum (Pirkei Avot).
When giving Tzedakah (charity), one's family comes before others and one's community comes before further away places.

Berachot 51b
אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אֵין פְּרִי בִטְנָהּ שֶׁל אִשָּׁה מִתְבָּרֵךְ אֶלָּא מִפְּרִי בִּטְנוֹ שֶׁל אִישׁ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״וּבֵרַךְ פְּרִי בִטְנְךָ״. ״פְּרִי בִטְנָהּ״ לֹא נֶאֱמַר, אֶלָּא ״פְּרִי בִטְנְךָ״
Rabbi Yoḥanan said as follows: The fruit of a woman’s body is blessed only from the fruit of a man’s body, as it is stated: “And He will love you, and bless you, and make you numerous, and He will bless the fruit of your body” (Deuteronomy 7:13). The Gemara infers: “He will bless the fruit of her body” was not stated. Rather, “He will bless the fruit of your [masculine singular] body.”

וְאִי אִישְׁתְּלִי וְאִיקְּרִי וּנְפַק, מַאי תַּקַּנְתֵּיהּ? לִינְקוֹט זַקְפָּא דִידֵיהּ דְּיַמִּינֵיהּ בִּידָא דִשְׂמָאלֵיהּ וְזַקְפָּא דִשְׂמָאלֵיהּ בִּידָא דְיַמִּינֵיהּ, וְנֵימָא הָכִי: ״אַתּוּן וַאֲנָא — הָא תְּלָתָא״. וְאִי שְׁמִיעַ לֵיהּ דְּאָמַר: ״אַתּוּן וַאֲנָא — הָא אַרְבְּעָה״, נֵימָא לֵיהּ: ״אַתּוּן וַאֲנָא — הָא חַמְשָׁה״. וְאִי שְׁמִיעַ לֵיהּ דְּאָמַר: ״אַתּוּן וַאֲנָא — הָא שִׁיתָּא״, נֵימָא לֵיהּ: ״אַתּוּן וַאֲנָא — הָא שִׁבְעָה״. הֲוָה עוֹבָדָא עַד מְאָה וְחַד, וּפְקַע שֵׁידָא.
The Gemara asks: And if one forgets and it happens that he goes outside after having drunk an even number of cups, what is his solution? The Gemara answers: He should take his right thumb in his left hand, and his left thumb in his right hand, and say as follows: You, my thumbs, and I are three, which is not a pair. And if he hears a voice that says: You and I are four, which makes a pair, he should say to it: You and I are five. And if he hears it say: You and I are six, he should say to it: You and I are seven. The Gemara relates that there was an incident in which someone kept counting after the demon until he reached a hundred and one, and the demon burst in anger.
אָמַר אַמֵּימָר: אֲמַרָה לִי רֵישָׁתִינְהִי דְּנָשִׁים כַּשְׁפָנִיּוֹת: הַאי מַאן דְּפָגַע בְּהוּ בְּנָשִׁים כַּשְׁפָנִיּוֹת, נֵימָא הָכִי: ״חָרֵי חַמִּימֵי בְּדִיקּוּלָא בַּזְיָיא לְפוּמַּיְיכוּ נְשֵׁי דְּחָרָשַׁיָּיא, קָרַח קָרְחַיְיכִי, פָּרַח פָּרְחַיְיכִי,
Ameimar said: The chief of witches said to me: One who encounters witches should say this [to them]: Hot feces in torn date baskets in your mouth, witches; may your hairs fall out [to expose your baldness - Artscroll]; your crumbs should scatter
110b
אִיבַּדּוּר תַּבְלוּנַיְיכִי, פָּרְחָא זִיקָא לְמוֹרִיקָא חַדְתָּא דְּנָקְטִיתוּ נָשִׁים כַּשְׁפָנִיּוֹת, אַדְּחַנַּנִּי וְחַנַּנְכִי לָא אֲתֵיתִי לְגוֹ, הַשְׁתָּא דַּאֲתֵיתִי לְגוֹ — קַרְחַנְנִי וַחֲנַנְכִי״.
your spices, [which you use for your witchcraft], should scatter; the wind should carry away the fresh saffron [that you witches hold to perform your witchcraft]. As long as I was shown favor from Heaven and you showed me favor, I did not come here. Now that I have come here, your favor toward me has cooled and you should find favor.
בְּמַעְרְבָא לָא קָפְדִי אַזּוּגֵי. רַב דִּימִי מִנְּהַרְדְּעָא קָפֵיד אֲפִילּוּ אַרוּשְׁמָא דְחָבִיתָא. הֲוָה עוֹבָדָא וּפְקַע חָבִיתָא. כְּלָלָא דְמִילְּתָא, כׇּל דְּקָפֵיד — קָפְדִי בַּהֲדֵיהּ, וּדְלָא קָפֵיד — לָא קָפְדִי בַּהֲדֵיהּ, וּמִיהוּ לְמֵיחַשׁ מִיבְּעֵי.
The Gemara relates that in the West, Eretz Yisrael, they were not particular with regard to pairs. Rav Dimi from Neharde’a was particular about pairs even with regard to the signs on a barrel; he would not write pairs of symbols on a barrel. There was an incident in which there were pairs of symbols on a barrel and the barrel burst. The Gemara concludes: The rule of the matter is that all who are particular about pairs, the demons are particular with him; and if one is not particular, they are not particular with him. However, one is required to be concerned about the harm that might result from purposely performing actions in pairs.
כִּי אֲתָא רַב דִּימִי, אָמַר: שְׁתֵּי בֵיצִים, וּשְׁתֵּי אֱגוֹזִין, שְׁתֵּי קִישּׁוּאִין, וְדָבָר אַחֵר — הֲלָכָה לְמֹשֶׁה מִסִּינַי. וּמִסְתַּפְּקָא לְהוּ לְרַבָּנַן מַאי נִיהוּ דָּבָר אַחֵר, וּגְזוּר רַבָּנַן בְּכוּלְּהוּ זוּגֵי מִשּׁוּם דָּבָר אַחֵר.
When Rav Dimi came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said: With regard to two eggs, two nuts, two cucumbers, and another matter, there is a halakha transmitted to Moses from Sinai [that they are dangerous in pairs.] But the Sages are uncertain about what the other matter is, and therefore the Sages decreed that all pairs are prohibited due to that other matter.
וְהָא דַּאֲמַרַן עֲשָׂרָה, תְּמָנְיָא, שִׁיתָּא, אַרְבְּעָה אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם זוּגֵי, לָא אֲמַרַן אֶלָּא לְעִנְיַן מַזִּיקִין. אֲבָל לְעִנְיַן כְּשָׁפִים — אֲפִילּוּ טוּבָא נָמֵי חָיְישִׁינַן.
And the Gemara notes that that which we said above, that the numbers ten, eight, six, and four do not cause the danger associated with pairs, we said only with regard to harmful spirits. However, with regard to witchcraft, we are concerned even with regard to one who performed an activity a greater number of times.
'
This in my opinion is a good example of a proper fence around the Torah since it is a Halacha from Moshe from HaShem making it good reasoning, unlike an unnecessary added yoke. Although the sheepfolds today aren't observant of this, I think everyone should be as the Gemara says we are required to be and it is a Torah Dorita - Mitzvah from the Torah, not an invention.

Although most of the numerous Berachot/Blessings were instituted by Ezra and you can see above about that and one would have Achum (Avodat Cochavim - star worshippers) speakers in his or her mouth all day H'F', I suggest that although human waste has toxins and the like, it is also mainly water and has things that have helped you and excess nutrients. Since it feels amazing to use the facilities (גַּל Gal is a heap of stones or ruins, Galah is to remove or uncover nakedness, and Galil is to rejoice) in a way it is like consuming (pleasure) and perhaps one can finish elevating the souls. Just a thought but it may be good to at least say the blessing Baruch Atah HaShem Elokeinu Melech HaOlam Rofey Chol Basar Umafli Laasot - The standard beginning and then "Who heals all flesh and performs wonders". The full paragraph would be torturous to speak and put yourself on the crickets' altar in the field all day as its written "Sit alone and be silent, indeed HaShem has laid it upon him". Nevertheless blessing before and after consuming food and maybe before incense since one tastes some of it is a Torah Mitzvah in my opinion as its written
Dvarim 8:9-10
אֶ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹ֤א בְמִסְכֵּנֻת֙ תֹּֽאכַל־בָּ֣הּ לֶ֔חֶם לֹֽא־תֶחְסַ֥ר כֹּ֖ל בָּ֑הּ אֶ֚רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲבָנֶ֣יהָ בַרְזֶ֔ל וּמֵהֲרָרֶ֖יהָ תַּחְצֹ֥ב נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
a land where you may eat food without stint, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and from whose hills you can mine copper.
וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ וְשָׂבָ֑עְתָּ וּבֵֽרַכְתָּ֙ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ עַל־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַטֹּבָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽתַן־לָֽךְ׃
And after you eat/consume and are sated, and bless your God יהוה for the good land He gave to you.
One can interpret "And you will eat" as the Berachah before and "And you will be satisfied" as the Berachah after (incense isn't sating, for example when people get "stoned" they get hungry)
Or also "And after you have eaten and are sated" implying also before. "And you will bless HaShem" is written when the and is unnecessary. The "and" implies a multiplicity, as in both times before and after.
Also derive it from the Kabbalah of the Arizal who says when one doesn't properly bless before and after the foods, he doesn't uplift the soul as he could have (I think getting tazed H'F' trying to pay attention to all the paragraphs of Birkat Hamazon/Grace after meals and possibly even Mezonot/7 Israeli fruits is definitely not a good idea). He says not blessing is like stealing from HaShem (this is also said in Berachot Bavli), your parents' souls (that are connected to yours), that soul, and your own soul, and we know clearly stealing is one of the Eser Dibrot (10 Commandments lit. Speeches)

This is like that incident involving a certain man who divorced his wife. She went and married a shopkeeper who sold wine in his store. Every day, the first husband would go and drink wine in that shop. His ex-wife would perform witchcraft upon him, and it would not be effective for her in her attempts to harm him because he was careful with regard to pairs.
יוֹמָא חַד אִשְׁתִּי טוּבָא, וְלָא הֲוָה יָדַע כַּמָּה שָׁתֵי. עַד שִׁיתְּסַר הֲוָה צְיִיל וְאִיזְדְּהַר בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ, מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ לָא הֲוָה צְיִיל וְלָא אִיזְדְּהַר בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ, אַפֵּיקְתֵּיהּ בְּזוּגָא. כִּי הֲוָה אָזֵיל, גָּס בֵּיהּ הָהוּא טַיָּיעָא, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: גַּבְרָא קְטִילָא הוּא דְּאָזֵיל הָכָא. אָזֵיל חַבְּקֵיהּ לְדִיקְלָא, צְוַוח דִּיקְלָא וּפְקַע הוּא.
One day he drank a lot, and he did not know how much he drank. Until he drank sixteen cups, he was lucid and was careful with regard to himself, to keep track of how many cups he had drunk. From here onward he was not lucid and was not careful to watch himself, and she caused him to leave after having consumed a pair, i.e., an even number of cups. As he walked, a certain Arab met him and, noticing that he was bewitched, said to him: It is a dead man who walks here. He went and hugged a palm tree for support; the palm tree dried out due to the witchcraft, and he burst.
אָמַר רַב עַוִּירָא: קְעָרוֹת וְכִכָּרוֹת אֵין בָּהֶם מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. כְּלָלָא דְּמִילְּתָא: כׇּל שֶׁגְּמָרוֹ בִּידֵי אָדָם — אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. גְּמָרוֹ בִּידֵי שָׁמַיִם — בְּמִילֵּי מִינֵי דְמֵיכַל חָיְישִׁינַן.
Rav Avira said: Plates and loaves do not contain the element of danger associated with pairs. The Gemara elaborates upon this point: The rule of the matter is that anything whose production was completed by people, they do not contain the element of danger associated with pairs. Conversely, if the object was completed by Heaven, e.g., with regard to types of food, we are concerned.
חֲנוּת — אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. נִמְלָךְ — אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. אוֹרֵחַ — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. אִשָּׁה — אֵין בָּהּ מִשּׁוּם זוּגוֹת. וְאִי אִשָּׁה חֲשׁוּבָה, חָיְישִׁינַן.
Furthermore, a store does not contain the element of danger associated with pairs. If one eats there, there is no danger, as this is not his regular place. If one changed one’s mind after drinking an odd number of cups and added one more, his drinking does not contain the element of danger associated with pairs, as he did not initially intend to drink an even number. The behavior of a guest who eats or drinks in someone else’s house does not contain the element of danger associated with pairs, as his host determines how much he will eat and drink. The behavior of a woman does not contain the element of danger associated with pairs, as demons are not particular with regard to how much a woman eats or drinks. But if she is an important woman, we are concerned.
אָמַר רַב חִינָּנָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ: אִיסְפָּרָגוֹס — מִצְטָרֵף לְטוֹבָה, וְאֵין מִצְטָרֵף לְרָעָה.
Rav Ḥinnana, son of Rav Yehoshua, said: Isparegus, a wine-based drink with added spices that people would regularly consume in the morning, combines with the number of cups of wine one has already consumed for the good, to raise the total to an odd number, and does not combine for the bad, to bring the sum to an even number.
אָמַר רָבִינָא מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא: זוּגֵי — לְחוּמְרָא. וְאָמְרִי לֵיהּ: זוּגֵי — לְקוּלָּא. אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: תְּרֵי דְחַמְרָא וְחַד דְּשִׁיכְרָא — לָא מִצְטָרֵף, תְּרֵי דְשִׁיכְרָא וְחַד דְּחַמְרָא — מִצְטָרֵף.
Ravina said in the name of Rava: If one is in doubt as to whether he has drunk in pairs, he should be stringent and drink another cup. And some say that one who is uncertain with regard to pairs should be lenient and not drink an additional cup, lest the additional cup be the even number. Rav Yosef said: Two cups of wine and one cup of beer do not combine; two cups of beer and one cup of wine do combine.

Personally I have found the best way to make eggs is by cracking them directly into a lightly heated pan with melted butter and scrambling them in the pan (also saves dishes and water). When they start thickening then delicately fold them until they are lightly cooked (still wet, too dry gets vile and they give off an unpleasant odor and too wet is also vile since you can see the membranes). I have heard to add the salt after because it breaks the eggs down when cooking if not, but I like using salted butter because I have also heard from a chef that instead of one big salting at the beginning or end of cooking, one should salt a little before and after or very little 3 times, once in the middle.

מִי שֶׁאָמַר דִּירָה זוֹ שֶׁבָּנִיתִי סִימָן טוֹב הָיְתָה עָלַי. אִשָּׁה זוֹ שֶׁנָּשָׂאתִי וּבְהֵמָה זוֹ שֶׁקָּנִיתִי מְבֹרֶכֶת הָיְתָה מֵעֵת שֶׁקְּנִיתִיהָ עָשַׁרְתִּי. וְכֵן הַשּׁוֹאֵל לְתִינוֹק אֵי זֶה פָּסוּק אַתָּה לוֹמֵד אִם אָמַר לוֹ פָּסוּק מִן הַבְּרָכוֹת יִשְׂמַח וְיֹאמַר זֶה סִימָן טוֹב כָּל אֵלּוּ וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן מֻתָּר הוֹאִיל וְלֹא כִּוֵּן מַעֲשָׂיו וְלֹא נִמְנַע מִלַּעֲשׂוֹת אֶלָּא עָשָׂה זֶה סִימָן לְעַצְמוֹ לְדָבָר שֶׁכְּבָר הָיָה הֲרֵי זֶה מֻתָּר:
[A different ruling applies when] a person says, "This dwelling which I built will be a good omen for me"; "This woman whom I married or this animal that I purchased was blessed. From the time I purchased it onward, I have become rich."
The same applies to a person who rejoices and exclaims, "This is a good omen" when he asks a child, "Which verse are you studying?" and the child reads him a verse of blessing. This and the like are permitted, since the person did not perform an act or hold himself back from performing an act [because of the omen]. All he did was consider something that had already happened as a sign.
'
It is like Mishnah Yadayim says, not to have a vessel, a cup out for animal (angel or star worshipper) spit, yet after the fact of one spitting on you you can consider it as a message from HaShem to consider in your Avodah (service). Yet again since it says groundwater and the world is essentially on fire with electric radiation H'F' you may want to ignore every voice that isn't painful unless you are grounded and it makes its way into your body (2/3 water).
A plant in a non perforated pot outside on the ground is subject to impurity, but if the pot has holes then it is considered connected to the ground and cannot become impure (one source example is Shabbat 10:6).
Here is some additional understanding from Shulchan Aruch HaRav (clickable) Shabbat laws.
3. Laws relating to Pot Plants:
Moving a pot plant from one place to another:[6] It is forbidden to move a pot plant that contains a breathing hole from on top of a peg, and place it directly on the earth[7], or from on the earth and place it onto a peg[8] [or to lift it from the earth and place it in another area of the earth[9]]. If the pot does not contain any holes, then if its pot is made of earthenware or wood, it likewise may not be moved from a peg to the earth or vice versa.[10] [If, however, the pot does not have a breathing hole, and is made of metal or glass, then it may be moved from one area to another.[11] If a pot that does not have a hole contains a plant which hovers over the earth, past the boundary of the pot, then the entire pot is considered as if it is attached to the ground and may not be moved just like a pot which has a hole.[12]]
As you can see electrical conductivity is heavily considered in this Halacha of whether a potted plant is considered planted when placed on the Earth.
Mishnah Sukkah 1:4
זֶה הַכְּלָל, כֹּל שֶׁהוּא מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה וְאֵין גִּדּוּלוֹ מִן הָאָרֶץ, אֵין מְסַכְּכִין בּוֹ. וְכָל דָּבָר שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה וְגִדּוּלוֹ מִן הָאָרֶץ, מְסַכְּכִין בּוֹ
This is the general principle: Anything that is susceptible to ritual impurity, e.g., vessels, or its growth is not from the ground, e.g., animal hides, one may not roof his sukka with it. And anything that is not susceptible to ritual impurity and its growth is from the ground, one may roof his Sukka with it.
Remember the Sukkah is a Parable for HaShem

Although some people say there are Torah opinions the Earth is flat, in Rambam's Foundations of the Torah, he gives a very impressively accurate description of our solar system in ch. 3 although there may be some errors but who knows. Also I have seen Ibn Ezra comment on Tanakh that the Earth is spherical. This would make sense with the Mishnah in Avodat Cochavim that a 3D image of one who holds a ball/orb in his hand is forbidden since it represents one who rules over the whole world. This is probably why Memulachim (Westerners) are always talking about people "losing their marbles" meaning going insane lol.
Here is an interesting excerpt:
All the stars and spheres possess a soul, knowledge, and intellect. They are alive and stand in recognition of the One who spoke and [thus brought] the world into being.
According to their size and level, each one praises and glorifies their Creator as the angels do. Just as they are aware of the Holy One, blessed be He, they are also aware of themselves and of the angels which surpass them. The knowledge of the stars and the spheres is less than the knowledge of the angels, but greater than that of men.
Hilchot Avodat Cochavim 7:6:
צוּרוֹת שֶׁעֲשָׂאוּם עוֹבְדֵי כּוֹכָבִים לְנוֹי מֻתָּרִין בַּהֲנָאָה וְצוּרוֹת שֶׁעֲשָׂאוּם לַעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים אֲסוּרִין. כֵּיצַד. כָּל הַצּוּרוֹת הַנִּמְצָאִים בַּכְּפָרִים אֲסוּרִים בַּהֲנָאָה מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחֶזְקָתָן שֶׁלַּעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים הֵן עֲשׂוּיִין, וְהַנִּמְצָאוֹת בַּמְּדִינָה אִם הָיוּ עוֹמְדִין עַל פֶּתַח הַמְּדִינָה וְהָיָה בְּיַד הַצּוּרָה צוּרַת מַקֵּל אוֹ צִפּוֹר אוֹ כַּדּוּר אוֹ סַיִף אוֹ עֲטָרָה וְטַבַּעַת חֶזְקָתוֹ שֶׁהוּא לַעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים וְאָסוּר בַּהֲנָאָה. וְאִם לָאו הֲרֵי הוּא בְּחֶזְקַת לְנוֹי וּמֻתָּר:
Figures made by gentiles as ornaments are permitted to be used, but those which they made for worship are forbidden. For example, all figures found in villages are forbidden, on the presumption that they were made for worship. But as for those in a city, if they are placed at the city gates, and the hand of the figure holds the form of a staff, bird, globe, sword, crown or ring, the presumption is that such a figure was erected for worship, and its use is forbidden (One should not even gaze at and appreciate it). Otherwise, the figure is presumed to be ornamental and its use is permitted.
Here is the Mishnah itself from Avodah Zara 3:1
וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: אֵינוֹ אָסוּר אֶלָּא כֹּל שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּיָדוֹ מַקֵּל אוֹ צִפּוֹר אוֹ כַדּוּר. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר: אַף כֹּל שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּיָדוֹ כׇּל דָּבָר.
And the Rabbis say: The only type of statue that is forbidden is any statue that has in its hand a staff, or a bird, or an orb. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: It is prohibited to derive benefit even from any statue that has any item whatsoever in its hand.
The Gemara says one needs to disfigure such images. Here is an example from Avodah Zarah 43b
וְהָא רַב יְהוּדָה, דַּאֲחֵרִים עָשׂוּ לוֹ, וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ שְׁמוּאֵל לְרַב יְהוּדָה: שִׁינָּנָא, סַמִּי עֵינֵיהּ דְּדֵין!
The Gemara asks: But there is the case of Rav Yehuda, where others (idolators/gentiles) fashioned for him a seal with a figure of a person on it, and Shmuel said to Rav Yehuda, who was his student: Sharp-witted one [shinnana], destroy this one’s eyes, i.e., disfigure it, as it is prohibited even to have a figure of a human being in one’s possession.
וּמִי חָיְישִׁינַן לַחֲשָׁדָא? וְהָא בֵּי כְנִישְׁתָּא דְּשַׁף וִיתֵיב בִּנְהַרְדְּעָא, (דְּאוֹקְמִי) [דְּאוֹקִימוּ] בֵּיהּ אִנְדְּרָטָא, וַהֲווֹ עָיְילִי בֵּיהּ אֲבוּהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל וְלֵוִי וּמְצַלּוּ בְּגַוֵּיהּ, וְלָא חָיְישִׁי לַחֲשָׁדָא! רַבִּים שָׁאנֵי.
The Gemara asks: And are we concerned about arousing suspicion due to the use of a human figure? But what about that synagogue that had been destroyed in Eretz Yisrael and was reestablished in Neharde’a, and they erected a statue of the king in it? And nevertheless, Shmuel’s father and Levi would enter and pray in it, and they were not concerned about arousing suspicion. The Gemara answers: A public institution is different; the public is not suspected of having idolatrous intentions. Rather, it is assumed that the statue is there exclusively for ornamental purposes.
'
It would still definitely be pious to disfigure such an image.
Jastrow says כַדּוּר is a ball or globe.

Although I have been talking about how farmers and gardeners used to taste dirt to test its quality and how I have found the dirt under fig trees is sweet, Rambam implies in Laws of Forbidden Foods 17:30 that eating dirt is a Torah prohibition under the verse (ויקרא יא מג) "אַל תְּשַׁקְּצוּ אֶת נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם" Vayikra/Leviticus 11 43 do not make your souls (fleshes/bloods) detestable. (Sorry)

If you have been deemed "crazy" by society and forced to take tranquilizer "medication", get off of it immediately by any means necessary. It causes overeating and lack of energy to exercise and subjects people to getting overweight H'F'. Remember that Rashi tells us the layer of fat over the kidneys advises people not to repent so it is really a sick conspiracy H'F'.
Remember a man on the level of master is called Eish like Aysh, fire, as in the verse Vayikra 6:6
אֵ֗שׁ תָּמִ֛יד תּוּקַ֥ד עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לֹ֥א תִכְבֶּֽה
"A man (lit. fire) is constantly burning on the Mizbeach (Altar) - Do not extinguish [him]!"
Maybe the woman equivalent would be Eisha, as in Eishet Chayil Mi Yimtzah? - A woman of valor (close to Chai, living, owner of her blood), who has found one? (Mishlei)
Remember, again there is no marriage to bloodless idolaters, only the proper laws of Yefet Toar with such people. And that Yaakov waited until his 80's to get married. Also the laws of Yefet Toar are discouraged unless a man very much desires it.

Apparently concrete basement floors do provide grounding but not as much as an actual grounding rod. Also if you have metal radiators and copper pipes you may be able to connect a copper wire or chain to the basement floor from it or to a grounding rod and make the radiator grounding.

Adar 20
Crickets have been telling me that I didn't know the rules about forest warlock warfare and that guns are forbidden. Anyway if you used to enjoy action movies and the like maybe set up a camera to record two fruit trees or mighty chestnuts/oaks etc next to each other in their years of strong growth during a storm after a long period of showers and sun.
This represents two Torah scholars battling in Halacha when the mighty "cold winds" of HaShem blow as the last branches standing represent the interpretations of the Mitzvot (Commandments) that will stand as practical Halacha when it is time to act.
Shade trees that provide no posterity (portion of TWTC) like the elm and terebinth represent this world, the Sat-n, like how Balaam the wizard had greater potential than Moshe. Apparently elms have weak wood and don't stand well in Eitz Milchama.
If you only had an elm tree to dwell under, in order to survive you would have to eat the young leaves and then the wood of the tree, like its written Job 18:13
יֹ֭אכַל בַּדֵּ֣י עוֹר֑וֹ יֹאכַ֥ל בַּ֝דָּ֗יו בְּכ֣וֹר מָֽוֶת׃
He will consume the branches of his skin [(his sons and daughters -Rashi)]. The prince of death will consume his branches.
Watching animals battle to the death or injury may be a little intense and vile.
Or much better read the Halachic battles in the Gemara and Mishnah or the Zohar portion or study Rambam (or H'W' any day the rulings of the Sanhedrin) to prepare yourself for your days of the storm winds.
Bereishet 1:28
וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָם֮ אֱלֹהִים֒ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לָהֶ֜ם אֱלֹהִ֗ים פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֛וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכׇל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, and dominate the fish of the sea, the birds of the heaven, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.
וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ
Vechivshuhah - and dominate
וּרְד֞וּ
Urdu - and dominate
Rabbi Simcha B of Chabad told me that the difference is Chivshuhah is pure domination and Urdu is to rule over. If you want to straight plow someone keep your hands like a sheep hoof (Ceves), 4 fingers together on one side, and an airspace (Avir - Mighty One) between the thumb. In a sheep pen, as in a servant growing garments (Ohr HaChaim says holy souls are like clean garments) for HaShem, the grass quickly gets trampled to mud.
If you want to raise people as children, disciples, and "rule" over them, you can keep your entire hand together as one like a fish fin, spread out like a bird wing, or every animal that walks or creeps on the earth, as in not intentionally extending fingers or "drinking", accepting such waters if your finger ever extends itself, without doing something constructive for yourself. For example I have never seen a raccoon, that has hands like humans point at someone like witches and wizards do H'F'. Again so that they don't despair of repentance you will need to bring them close with more effort than you push in order to "rule over" them, as in be their Rabbi.
drink wisely (Use your discretion)

Is anyone sickened by the excessive "clothes of Esav" as in acting or dressing like a 'femer to get the crickets and boars off you? It is only permitted as little as necessary and one can't transgress sins like shedding other people's bloods because of the concept of the Torah, "Is your blood more red than your brothers'?"
In the words of HaShem in Job 38:3
אֱזׇר־נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר
"Gird yourself with might like a warrior (Gever)"
Again Gever is the second level of the titles of man out of 4 so it is still not very impressive.
Yes you may say my last name is HarShin that can be novelized "Mountain of the Almighty", "Tooth Mountain" or "Fire Mountain", but I answer that I told you an opinion out of 3 in the Mishnah says that a sapling becomes a tree "according to its name". Therefore what is stopping you from changing your name to something that praises HaShem and strengthens you into a real tree too since the name we call ourselves is the most spiritually significant? אֱזׇר־נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר
In truth I have heard from Chabad that the last name isn't nearly as significant as the first and middle names as they are a recent invention. (I asked my grandmother to give me a new middle name from Louis and she gave me AyliYaHu, "My G-d is Y-H, He", after a family member but I accept it as after HaNavi (The Prophet) since I don't know if he even existed or if it was "wine" (alcohol is a metaphor for lies since it is "Sheichar" and lie is "Sheker"). This name is especially epic since I can't think of anyone from Tanakh with the glory of AyliYaHu who ascended in a chariot of fire and never tasted death
2 Kings 2:11
וַיְהִ֗י הֵ֣מָּה הֹלְכִ֤ים הָלוֹךְ֙ וְדַבֵּ֔ר וְהִנֵּ֤ה רֶֽכֶב־אֵשׁ֙ וְס֣וּסֵי אֵ֔שׁ וַיַּפְרִ֖דוּ בֵּ֣ין שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּ֙עַל֙ אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ בַּֽסְעָרָ֖ה הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven.
וֶאֱלִישָׁ֣ע רֹאֶ֗ה וְה֤וּא מְצַעֵק֙ אָבִ֣י ׀ אָבִ֗י רֶ֤כֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וּפָ֣רָשָׁ֔יו
And Elisha saw it, and he cried: ‘My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!’
***Very important
Do not name yourself after someone wicked! If you have a deceased family member with the name you want of a righteous person and that family member was wicked, intend that you are naming yourself after the original righteous person.
Tehillim 3:8
ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהֹוָ֨ה ׀ הוֹשִׁ֘יעֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהַ֗י כִּֽי־הִכִּ֣יתָ אֶת־כׇּל־אֹיְבַ֣י לֶ֑חִי שִׁנֵּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֣ים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃
Rise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
For You strike all my enemies in the cheek (Rashi: with strangling);
You break the teeth of the wicked (Rashi: their strength).
Therefore its necessary to "HarShen" up about protecting your donkey and bull (body and spiritual level) so no one shatters your expensive fake teeth and chokes you out, (or in the more likely case interpret it metaphorically as Rashi interprets YeshaYaHu 63 in terms of wars of nations), when you fall on them "taking orders" from birds of prey so they share cakes with you etc H'F'. אֱזׇר־נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר

One should avoid polyester clothing as I have never seen standards of certification advertised (unless you can see one) since then they can add their own "flavors/reasonings" H'F'. It seems cotton is the best option since its the least conductive.
Rambam says only wool and linen garments qualify for Tzitzit so wool seems like the better option but it has a static electricity issue. One can reduce this apparently with some white vinegar or baking soda in the wash and a ball of aluminum foil rolled up in the dryer.
There is a Jewish Dr. named Heidi Yellen that did an experiment (rejected by Western science) about the different vibrational frequencies of different fabrics. Organic (not like you find on Amazon or Instacart) cotton had a score of 100 like the human body. Linen and wool both had scores of 5000 but dropped to 0 when worn together (it is a Halacha not to wear such clothing).
ChatGPT will tell you wool actually has the lowest frequency.
In support of Dr. Yellen I find it very hard to fall asleep with TzitTzit on or using a wool blanket as opposed to falling asleep very quickly with cotton.

YeshaYahu/Isaiah 63:1-4
מִי־זֶ֣ה ׀ בָּ֣א מֵאֱד֗וֹם חֲמ֤וּץ בְּגָדִים֙ מִבׇּצְרָ֔ה זֶ֚ה הָד֣וּר בִּלְבוּשׁ֔וֹ צֹעֶ֖ה בְּרֹ֣ב כֹּח֑וֹ אֲנִ֛י מְדַבֵּ֥ר בִּצְדָקָ֖ה רַ֥ב לְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
Who is this coming from Edom (from Edom, [the] vinegar clothing)
In crimsoned garments from Bozrah—
Who is this, majestic in attire,
Pressing forward with great might?
“It is I, who contend victoriously,
Powerful to give triumph.”
Rashi: Who is this coming from Edom The prophet prophesies concerning what the Holy One, blessed be He, said that He is destined to wreak vengeance upon Edom, and He, personally, will slay their heavenly prince, like the matter that is said (supra 34:5), “For My sword has become sated in the heaven.” And afterward, (ibid.) “it shall descend upon Edom,” and it is recognizable by the wrath of His face that He has slain [them with] a great massacre, and the prophet is speaking in the expression of the wars of human beings, dressed in clothes, and when they slay a slaying, the blood spatters on their garments, for so is the custom of Scripture; it speaks of the Shechinah anthropomorphically, to convey to the ear what it can hear. Comp. (Ezek. 43:2) “His voice is like the voice of many waters.” The prophet compares His mighty voice to the voice of many waters to convey to the ear according to what it is possible to hear, for one cannot understand and hearken to the magnitude of the mighty of our God to let us hear it as it is.
מַדּ֥וּעַ אָדֹ֖ם לִלְבוּשֶׁ֑ךָ וּבְגָדֶ֖יךָ כְּדֹרֵ֥ךְ בְּגַֽת׃

I stared, but there was none to aid—
So My own arm wrought the triumph,
And My own rage was My aid.

You may think of vinegar as the cooking kind good on fries, but pure vinegar is extremely dangerous. One couldn't even open it in front of the face. I cleaned some mold in my basement with the diluted cleaning kind last summer and it was extremely intense and horrible to breathe around.
-to be fair vinegar is produced naturally in a very highly diluted form. However with the steroid epidemic they are at least like cleaning vinegar lol
The Artscroll Stone Edition by Rabbi Scherman says that Yaakov was punished in his encounter with Esav for "taking the dog by the ears" instead of doing his best to avoid conflict and not to rely on miracles.

Apples were originally cultivated from wild crab apples according to historysites.nc.gov and ChatGPT. ChatGPT also says crabapple sized apples could be lethal in a slingshot. In the Appalachian forests one mostly finds crab apples or granny smiths. Therefore this fits with the Song of the Apple in Perek Shira (this version has Tapuach as apricot, also fitting [and other stone fruits like plums] although it is mostly translated as apple):
תַּפּוּחַ אוֹמֵר. כְּתַפּוּחַ בַּעֲצֵי הַיַּעַר כֵּן דּוֹדִי בֵּין הַבָּנִים בְּצִלּוֹ חִמַּדְתִּי וְיָשַׁבְתִּי וּפִרְיוֹ מָתוֹק לְחִכִּי: (שיר השירים ב ג)
The Apricot is saying, “Like the apricot tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.” (Rashi: All flee from The Apple as it provides no shade)
If two opposing men met in the forest and only had a sling (maybe more powerful -ChatGPT) or a slingshot, the one next to the wild apple tree would win over the one who would have to break a spear. ChatGPT says acorns would not be lethal (we know it is not 100% but it makes sense to me).
Therefore we see Apples truly are Almighty in the forest (representing the kings and gods of the nations -Rashi)
1 Samuel 17:40
וַיִּקַּ֨ח מַקְל֜וֹ בְּיָד֗וֹ וַיִּבְחַר־ל֣וֹ חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה חַלֻּקֵֽי־אֲבָנִ֣ים ׀ מִן־הַנַּ֡חַל וַיָּ֣שֶׂם אֹ֠תָ֠ם בִּכְלִ֨י הָרֹעִ֧ים אֲשֶׁר־ל֛וֹ וּבַיַּלְק֖וּט וְקַלְע֣וֹ בְיָד֑וֹ וַיִּגַּ֖שׁ אֶל־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּֽי׃
He took his staff, picked a few smooth stones from the wadi, put them in the pocket of his shepherd’s bag and, sling in hand, he went toward the Philistine.

The dictionaries actually have this as sling and not slingshot like I thought originally. I forgot these existed
This would be wise to have if you are a hiker to take with you in case mountain lions, bears or boars come across you H'F'. Actually deer kill the most people in the forest. You can get one (not sure about quality) inexpensively for $12 in a few days if you have Amazon prime and every wise person should see the value in getting anything they need in ~2 days for such a low price. Its like an artificial Eliezer for $10 a month instead of looking at people curse you in purgatory that's in purgatory (the streets -Rabbi Avigdor Miller) to get your needs H'F'. Or if you are skilled you can craft one or get an expensive one for more protection.
Here is the link
Nevertheless the Torah says that for righteous people, HaShem will put the fear of them upon the animals. However we are not supposed to rely on miracles.
Therefore all you need is to "sling" your "Apple" at your right (or strong) side as its written Tehillim 121:5
יְהֹוָ֥ה שֹׁמְרֶ֑ךָ יְהֹוָ֥ה צִ֝לְּךָ֗ עַל־יַ֥ד יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
The LORD is your guardian,

The Zohar says everything depends on the right hand based on Tehillim. If you type "right hand" into Sefaria and filter for Psalms there are 179 results..
Nevertheless when I was in 9th grade Biology class I learned about biomechanical engineering where scientists are able to control animals through electrically manipulating their brains. That was 13 years ago and technology has been growing greater and greater. This is exactly what the wicked are doing to us H'F' and therefore one should still take some protection in nature with vicious beasts. Mace spray is another option since many people can't buy guns. I don't like to stray too far off the paths either.
You should still be able to wave your hand especially if 'upset' to make them turn back anyway.
Isaiah 19:6
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא יִהְיֶ֥ה מִצְרַ֖יִם כַּנָּשִׁ֑ים וְחָרַ֣ד ׀ וּפָחַ֗ד מִפְּנֵי֙ תְּנוּפַת֙ יַד־יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת אֲשֶׁר־ה֖וּא מֵנִ֥יף עָלָֽיו׃
In that day, the Egyptians shall be like women, trembling and terrified because of the waving of the Hand of HaShem of Hosts that He will wave upon them.
**The left hand is called "Yad" (Hand) while the right hand is I think always specified with "Yamin" (Right) or "Yamincha" (His Right). In this case Yad is written so if you are not upset, the left hand may be better to plow with by waving.

If you live in proximity to a church etc (excluding mosques since they are monotheists) you should face South or East rather than towards Jerusalem if their building is in the way
Also I once said strawberries are great to eat for strength as they are called "Tooth" in Hebrew but in recent years more bugs have been found in them so you need to be very careful. You might be able to juice them and not worry about bugs.

To continue the novelty above about the wild apple being Almighty in the forest due to its 'arching' ability;
There is a concept in Torah called the "Caf haKalah", puch of the sling, that when people die and are paying their dues (sin guilts), they have no body and no "house" as in protection from harmful spirits. I think this is what happens when we send the zombies souls flying out of their bodies. You can read about it in "Minchat Yehudah" by Rabbi Yehudah Fetaya
1 Samuel 25:29
וַיָּ֤קׇם אָדָם֙ לִרְדׇפְךָ֔ וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־נַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ וְֽהָיְתָה֩ נֶ֨פֶשׁ אֲדֹנִ֜י צְרוּרָ֣ה ׀ בִּצְר֣וֹר הַחַיִּ֗ים אֵ֚ת יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ וְאֵ֨ת נֶ֤פֶשׁ אֹיְבֶ֙יךָ֙ יְקַלְּעֶ֔נָּה בְּת֖וֹךְ כַּ֥ף הַקָּֽלַע׃
And if anyone sets out to pursue you and seek your life, the life of my lord will be bound up in the bundle of life in the care of the LORD; but He will fling away the lives of your enemies as from the hollow of a sling.
Why is someone compared to an apple, a perfect child of HaShem, being exposed to the "Caf haKalah?
The reason is because the apple is not being launched to random exposed wildernesses to be pursued, but is being used as HaShem's Arrow to defeat His enemy, "Goliath". Also it is very likely that the apple will still be perfectly fine to eat, you can still plant the seeds (it has posterity, eternal portion of Heaven), and if you are not a Cohen due to corpse impurity (I think!) you would be able to eat the apple sauce off your enemies' temple and fulfill the verse, yum!
(**This was a joke and probably forbidden under the verse "Do not make yourself detestable" unless it was the dead of winter and the only food source)
HaShem originally gave the children of Yaakov the land of Israel on condition that they wage war in order to conquer it from the Canaanites.
YeshaYaHu 49:2
וַיָּ֤שֶׂם פִּי֙ כְּחֶ֣רֶב חַדָּ֔ה בְּצֵ֥ל יָד֖וֹ הֶחְבִּיאָ֑נִי וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ לְחֵ֣ץ בָּר֔וּר בְּאַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ הִסְתִּירָֽנִי׃
He made my mouth like a sharpened blade,
He hid me in the shadow of His hand,
And He made me like a polished arrow;
He concealed me in His quiver.
Perek Shirah song of the Sun
שֶׁמֶשׁ אוֹמֵר. שֶׁמֶשׁ יָרֵחַ עָמַד זְבֻלָה לְאוֹר חִצֶּיךָ יְהַלֵּכוּ לְנֹגַהּ בְּרַק חֲנִיתֶּךָ: (חבקוק ג יא)
The Sun is saying: “The sun, [when covered by] the moon, stood in its abode; to the light of your arrow, they walk/go. To the shining of your glittering spear.”
As you can see arrow is written first (given precedence) proving this novelty
I was right about non-Cohen Jewish people being able to touch corpses (this Chabad article is my witness [click]) Therefore if someone attacked you in the forest H'F' and you wanted to use his/her/it's/them's temple as a bowl of applesauce you would fulfill the verse
Dvarim 7:16
וְאָכַלְתָּ֣ אֶת־כׇּל־הָֽעַמִּ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ נֹתֵ֣ן לָ֔ךְ לֹא־תָח֥וֹס עֵֽינְךָ֖ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְלֹ֤א תַעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־אֱלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּֽי־מוֹקֵ֥שׁ ה֖וּא לָֽךְ׃ {ס}
And you will eat all the peoples that your God יהוה delivers (lit. he gives, 'NTN') to you , your eye shall not pity upon them. And you shall not worship their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
It can be novelized as "you will eat every last one (Alef-Taf) of all the peoples (that rise against you) that are actually an illusion and just HaShem commanding them through the Sat-ns. Natan (someone's students and servants are like the branches of a tree), [that is] to you! (as in your job). Don't let your eye pity them and don't serve their idols in your forbidden excessive 'clothes of esav' to protect yourself"

1 Samuel 23:22
לְכוּ־נָ֞א הָכִ֣ינוּ ע֗וֹד וּדְע֤וּ וּרְאוּ֙ אֶת־מְקוֹמוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּֽהְיֶ֣ה רַגְל֔וֹ מִ֥י רָאָ֖הוּ שָׁ֑ם כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר אֵלַ֔י עָר֥וֹם יַעְרִ֖ם הֽוּא׃
Now go, be determined once-again,
know and take-note of his place where his foot is [now and] who has seen him there,
for they have said to me that he acts-shrewdly, yes, shrewdly.
'
This is Shaul HaMelech talking about David HaMelech. At this point Shaul knew David was going to take the kingdom and was pursuing him to kill him as its written in 1 Samuel 19:9-10
וַתְּהִי֩ ר֨וּחַ יְהֹוָ֤ה ׀ רָעָה֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל וְהוּא֙ בְּבֵית֣וֹ יֹשֵׁ֔ב וַחֲנִית֖וֹ בְּיָד֑וֹ וְדָוִ֖ד מְנַגֵּ֥ן בְּיָֽד׃
Then an evil spirit of the LORD came upon Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing [the lyre].
וַיְבַקֵּ֨שׁ שָׁא֜וּל לְהַכּ֤וֹת בַּֽחֲנִית֙ בְּדָוִ֣ד וּבַקִּ֔יר וַיִּפְטַר֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י שָׁא֔וּל וַיַּ֥ךְ אֶֽת־הַחֲנִ֖ית בַּקִּ֑יר וְדָוִ֛ד נָ֥ס וַיִּמָּלֵ֖ט בַּלַּ֥יְלָה הֽוּא׃ {פ}
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he drove the spear into the wall. David fled and got away.
That night
Therefore Shaul was acting as the "Eish Sadeh", master of the field, the dead kingdom of Evil. We can see an insight into how they stalk the righteous and watch what substances we walk on to properly electrocute us H'F'

It seems the Amazon link was a great benefit and less people knew about it than I thought so here are more useful sites.
Ebay.com is like Amazon and more useful for builders/mechanics and a lot of times has free 2 day shipping from the right vendor. Also good for gems
Etsy.com is a small business website and good for gemstones and all plants (by far the least expensive fruit trees)
Aliexpress.com is good for inexpensive wholesale products if you need a lot of something or you want to buy and sell from them (for example my father did this with vaporizer pens)

Perek Shira
דְּשָׁאִים אוֹמְרִים. יְהִי כְבוֹד יי לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יי בְּמַעֲשָׂיו: (תהילים קד לא)
The Grasses are saying, “May the kavod of YHVH endure forever; may YHVH rejoice in his works.”
דֶּשֶׁא (Deshe) m. (b. h.) tender grass, herbage.—Pl. דְּשָׁאִים, דְּשָׁאִין herbs.
דַּשָּׁא, (דַּשָׁא, דָּ׳) (Dasha) m. (= דרשא, Sam. דרשה; דרש, cmp. also דּוּשׁ) entrance, door-way (v. דְּרִיסָה); door.
(Jastrow)
This teaches that after a person gets "plowed" H'F', the door-way back to life is by drawing inspiration from the lowest level of plants that appear first in a plowed field, the tender herbage who is reminding us that HaShem and His Kindnesses live forever and may we too rejoice in creation forever rather than ever get plowed again H'F'.

Bereisheit 1:28
וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכׇל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ
And dominate and rule over with the fish of the sea and bird of the Heavens and with every living beast creeping (Romeset, like Remez - hinting) upon the Earth.
I said a few days ago to plow with a sheep hoof but actually part of ruling over the world is to plow the wicked so as long as you are not extending fingers and are waving your hands naturally (Remember the Mishnah that when a tree is cut if it is greater than a Tefach [a handbreadth, that is 4 fingers] high, it is still considered a tree and if not, a sapling) you should be fine to just wave your hands at someone trying to kill you H'F'.
When the "Baal Habayit Lamed Toch HaYad"ed me as in Shabbat 1:1 "The owner of the house extends his hand to the public domain to teach the inside of the hand to Natan, the poor man" he said the front of the hand is called Toch and the back Gav. I originally thought the front would be better to plow with but now I realize Toch is like Mitoch, sweetness, and Gav like Gavir, strength. Therefore it may be best to have a "shadow boxing cardio workout" where you just crush heathen's souls by practicing boxing.
Also I believe you can kick since at least my foot is about exactly the same width as my hand and the concept is something that comes after something else has everything before it, like how at the end of a story of Torah you remember and learned from everything that happened before it, and our foot is like our "ending". Also to support this from Mishnah I remember reading years ago there being opinions on something like maybe when a boy is considered a man and one opinion said something about when he has four posts. I couldn't find it by searching but I will try again.
Maybe I remembered it wrong but I did find this idea from Ervuvin 4:5
מִי שֶׁיָּשֵׁן בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְלֹא יָדַע שֶׁחֲשֵׁכָה, יֵשׁ לוֹ אַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן נוּרִי. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין לוֹ אֶלָּא אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, וְהוּא בְאֶמְצָעָן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, לְאֵיזֶה רוּחַ שֶׁיִּרְצֶה יֵלֵךְ. וּמוֹדֶה רַבִּי יְהוּדָה שֶׁאִם בֵּרֵר לוֹ, שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לַחֲזֹר בּוֹ:
He who fell asleep on the road [towards dusk on the Shabbat-eve], and did not know that it had become dark [night had set in], has [the right to move] two thousand amot in any direction. - so says Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri. The Sages say, "He only has [the right to move within] four amot." Rabbi Eliezer says, "And he is in [forms] the center [of these four amot]." Rabbi Yehuda says, "He can go [four amot] in whichever direction he pleases." But Rabbi Yehuda conceded, that if he [that person] chose [a direction] for himself, he may not [afterwards] go back upon it [and change his mind].
An Amah is an arm length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, about 18 inches. Also the leg is similar in length to the arm and some people naturally even have longer arms. (In war or in danger a person can break Shabbat and go any necessary distance)
Another face is like a coarse "grassy" person who wakes up to the Truth of Torah and the underworld:
מִי שֶׁיָּשֵׁן בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְלֹא יָדַע שֶׁחֲשֵׁכָה
"Who that was a lazy idle tooth in the road" (like a sheep. In Jewish communities they say someone who cast off The Yoke is "Off the Derech [road]) probably in college or something like I was. -"And did not know that (there was) darkness"
יֵשׁ לוֹ אַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן נוּרִי.
There is to him 2000 arm lengths (or bulls) in every direction, the words of Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri.
Tehillim 22:13
סְ֭בָבוּנִי פָּרִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים אַבִּירֵ֖י בָשָׁ֣ן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃
Many bulls surround me,
mighty ones of Bashan encircle me.
Ezekial 39:18 about the final (this) war of Gog and Magog (the 70 nations)
בְּשַׂ֤ר גִּבּוֹרִים֙ תֹּאכֵ֔לוּ וְדַם־נְשִׂיאֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ תִּשְׁתּ֑וּ אֵילִ֨ים כָּרִ֤ים וְעַתּוּדִים֙ פָּרִ֔ים מְרִיאֵ֥י בָשָׁ֖ן כֻּלָּֽם׃
You shall eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth: rams, lambs, he-goats, and bulls—fatlings of Bashan all of them.
So we see Rabbi Yochanan is warning us about the kingdom of Evil. Alternatively the people around you when you wake up are going to on a relatively better spiritual level since they knew you were a sleeping fish and are extremely rich to afford you. After that people know that you are going to watch them fall on you with witchcraft in their hand and may not do that to you.
Or if you see the kingdom of Evil know that HaShem, The Alef, Bull, has thousands of Angels around you protecting you in every direction.
וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין לוֹ אֶלָּא אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, וְהוּא בְאֶמְצָעָן.
"And the sages say there is nothing to him but four armlengths" (him and his branches, Mitzvot/Commandments). "And he is in the middle between two extremes", the good and evil inclinations, the minds of the idolators cleaving to him trying to get him blassy to snuff his existence H'F' and the sweet waters of Torah and fruits of the Sages drawing him close to eternal life.
**Maybe it would be a good idea to sit on the ground (to electrically ground yourself and use your four limbs to push away the zombies in all 4 directions lol)
רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, לְאֵיזֶה רוּחַ שֶׁיִּרְצֶה יֵלֵךְ. וּמוֹדֶה רַבִּי יְהוּדָה שֶׁאִם בֵּרֵר לוֹ, שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לַחֲזֹר בּוֹ:
"Rabbi Yehudah says, To whose direction he desires, he will walk" (Remember that the Sefirah of Keter-Crown is desire, will, or pleasure) If he thinks sharing cakes with Pharoah and birds will be better for him than infinite eternal unimaginable bliss, he will go to the evil inclination and soon cease to be.
"And Rabbi Yehudah admits, that if he chose a place for himself (the good or evil side) that he will not be able to go back upon it." As the Proverb says, "Neither do they return to the paths of life" Rashi: It is extremely hard for the wicked to repent after succumbing.
Therefore almost virtually everyone who has fallen to the other side is very likely no longer existent.
That is why the final Tzadi ץ represents a Baal Teshuvah, owner of repentance, and has the highest Gematria (numerical value) of 900 representing the heaviest letter. As the Sages in the Gemara say, someone who was constantly righteous cannot sit in the place of a Baal Teshuvah.

When a person throws a hook, it's always with the weak hand that should be closer to the opponent since your strong hand and foot should be back. One does not extend their elbow, keep the elbow at a 90 degree (right) angle the whole time, turning the heel about 90 degrees outwards in a circular motion when one throws, and again from the shoulder muscles not the arm or hand muscles. Also for a hook I was taught to keep the palm towards the ground (some trees grow out of cliffs like the fig I ate on the night on the Tzfat cliff) Again aiming like my high school friend's father taught me, right below the ear (where the head connects to the neck), is the most effective rather than trying to identify who they are and if they have a weak head or neck.
If you are interested in my boxing coach's name it was Johnathan Robertson and his disciple Tommy Wilt (My perfection has wilted or My perfection is to wilt [and/or wilt others lol])
Isaiah 64:5
וַנָּ֤בֶל כֶּֽעָלֶה֙ כֻּלָּ֔נוּ וַעֲוֺנֵ֖נוּ כָּר֥וּחַ יִשָּׂאֻֽנוּ
And all of us grow vile like a leaf, and our transgressions, like wind, carry us off.
6:13
וְהָיְתָ֣ה לְבָעֵ֑ר כָּאֵלָ֣ה וְכָאַלּ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׁלֶּ֙כֶת֙ מַצֶּ֣בֶת בָּ֔ם זֶ֥רַע קֹ֖דֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּֽהּ
And it will be, [the remainder of Tzion] will be consumed like an oak or terebinth that when it is felled the pillar remains in it. (Rashi: Like how they wither their leaves in the winter)
Even quicker is this method:
Bereisheit 3:15
וְאֵיבָ֣ה ׀ אָשִׁ֗ית בֵּֽינְךָ֙ וּבֵ֣ין הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה וּבֵ֥ין זַרְעֲךָ֖ וּבֵ֣ין זַרְעָ֑הּ ה֚וּא יְשׁוּפְךָ֣ רֹ֔אשׁ וְאַתָּ֖ה תְּשׁוּפֶ֥נּוּ עָקֵֽב׃ {ס}
and I will put enmity between thee [the snake] and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall pound thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Since they are all being controlled by "the snake" you may be able to just stomp at their heads, if not the same method of right below the ear for everyone like a football or futbol (airhead pigskin) kickoff
***If you are a fragile elderly woman and did not like the crab applesauce joke you may want to skip to the next fig leaves (asterisks)
I realized since we have learned that the Gemara says anointing is like drinking and the Vilna Gaon says this is a Torah concept not Rabbinic, if you were doing your Hitbonenut (nature meditation) like Rebbe Nachman recommends every day, and a heathen wizard tried your hand and you hooked him below the ear like I taught a few times you would likely get his blood on your hand at least and "eat your enemy"
***
Habbakuk 3:4
וְנֹ֙גַהּ֙ כָּא֣וֹר תִּֽהְיֶ֔ה קַרְנַ֥יִם מִיָּד֖וֹ ל֑וֹ וְשָׁ֖ם חֶבְי֥וֹן עֻזֹּֽה׃
And a brightness like light there is [lit. will be] horns from His Hand (left hand, the Sat-n [meaning To Oppose]) for Him; And there is the concealment of Her (but vowelized His, the soul of the body [that is the letter]) Force. (Since the Angels including the Sat-ns are like Mothers to us for HaShem)
This teaches that someone's wisdom, their light, of how strong they are in combat and how many "branches", people that will back them up as servants is hidden from the eye.
When I wrestled in high school (this is forbidden to be in a singlet in front of women and may be forbidden since the crotch gets touched accidentally which causes erections, even if it's later on. It would be good to learn grappling basics to protect yourself and family/future family from the wicked though. Like Yaakov had his fight with the Sat-n when he was left alone, everyone will likely have to go through such an episode) it was common that some of the stronger people would lose to the less impressive looking people if he knew what he was doing, as in the physics and dynamics of how to grapple somebody.

Adar 24
Although I once reposted an opinion on Facebook that one should not let their dog(s) into the house since an evil spirit named Celev rests on one who plays with a dog that makes him lax in fear of HaShem and Torah study H'F', after my father let me borrow his golden retriever, I think they are extremely priceless to have near you at all times (just don't play games/wrestle with them). It is like having a hardened navy SEAL or green beret be your personal body guard 24/7 (anyone who thinks goldens would be 'easy prey' to battle since they are very loving according to the internet is extremely mistaken, they are much tougher than 99.9% of people) and it is socially acceptable for them to act/"bark" obnoxiously to scare heathen away in purgatory x2 (the streets) or from our doors. If you are always alone like me it is also an amazing companion and if a heathen hijacks her you can wave/curse them away immediately and after a few times they stop doing it often.

The Roosters' 6th call:
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, it is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
Instead see the face that it is telling us in these times to invest in some books of Torah for Shabbat
"Do not love teeth (see shaynim [teeth] instead of shayna [sleep], like how the male member is like a 'horn' or 'tooth' that we 'eat' our wives with and how the Sages compare studying Torah to your betrothed maiden [hopefully]. When learning on a laptop or electronic device it is much brighter, stronger, than looking at [especially old yellowed] paper) Lest you get plowed (breaking Shabbat to open your laptop to enjoy Waters of Wisdom much more easily from the "stronger Torah" online. The word Mishnah [the Oral Torah] has the same root for sleep and it is much easier to dream in the world of Understanding online than finding related concepts in books). (Physically) open your Wellspring (your Torah library) (during the) Shabbat War Bread - while you are struggling with the Shabbat Melachot/Forbidden labors, open up a physical book of Torah and soothe yourself.
**Make sure to invest in at least a few books of Torah for this. It is forbidden to charge more than the cost to print Hebrew books (not English translations). If you can't afford then you need to start writing down notes or printing pages from here and Sefaria, Chabad, etc for Shabbat.
I was able to get to the level of Understanding because I acquired a lot of "Earth, dirt" by first reading the whole Tanakh in English and Halachot I need to get a general idea of things, then returning to study in depth the interesting/questionable parts I remembered. Shabbat is a great day to expand the boundaries of your "field" since most of the time concepts of Understanding, related to Heaven, are posted here.
For example it is a Halacha that every man has to write a personal Torah and according to this Chabad article Rambam says its the whole Torah.
Another reason for this Mitzvah is that it strengthens our right hands, or enrichens our scribes (that is not a high income profession).
It is important to consult a knowledgeable fish (Torah scholar) in Rambam before starting or at least read and review Hilchot Sefer Torah as there are details to be aware of. Here is chapter 7 and the link to it (click)
7:1
מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה עַל כָּל אִישׁ וְאִישׁ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל לִכְתֹּב סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה לְעַצְמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים לא יט) ״וְעַתָּה כִּתְבוּ לָכֶם אֶת הַשִּׁירָה״. כְּלוֹמַר כִּתְבוּ לָכֶם תּוֹרָה שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהּ שִׁירָה זוֹ, לְפִי שֶׁאֵין כּוֹתְבִין אֶת הַתּוֹרָה פָּרָשִׁיּוֹת פָּרָשִׁיּוֹת. וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִנִּיחוּ לוֹ אֲבוֹתָיו סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה מִצְוָה לִכְתֹּב מִשֶּׁלּוֹ. ואִם כְּתָבוֹ בְּיָדוֹ הֲרֵי הוּא כְּאִלּוּ קִבְּלָהּ מֵהַר סִינַי. וְאִם אֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ לִכְתֹּב אֲחֵרִים כּוֹתְבִין לוֹ. וְכָל הַמַּגִּיהַּ סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה וַאֲפִלּוּ אוֹת אַחַת הֲרֵי הוּא כְּאִלּוּ כְּתָבוֹ כֻּלּוֹ:
It is a positive commandment for each and every Jewish man to write a Torah scroll for himself, as [implied by the commandment (Deuteronomy 31:19)]: "And now, write down this song for yourselves," i.e., write down the [entire] Torah which contains this song. [The basis for this interpretation is] that the Torah should not be written passage by passage.
Even if a person's ancestors left him a Torah scroll, it is a mitzvah to write one himself. If a person writes the scroll by hand, it is considered as if he received it on Mount Sinai. If he does not know how to write himself, [he should have] others write it for him.
Anyone who checks even a single letter of a Torah scroll is considered as if he wrote the entire scroll.
Forget those who disagree with our Fish (Rambam) and obligate women in this (at least for now before the Sanhedrin)

Crickets have been chirping "heathen little", like 'chicken little' at me since I didn't know the rules of heathen forest warfare. Doesn't having rules defeat the purpose? Apparently its either forbidden to sling crab apples or people just bring actual bow and arrows. Therefore this proves the novelty that if someone is an "Apple shade dweller" as in accepts the yoke of Torah instead of a Sat-nic "shade tree dweller", he could just bring a gun like a hunter and Shimshon the people with "The Rock [lead bullets]" (Like how Shimshon [Samson] and some other remarkable people like one of David HaMelech's brothers were able to slay multitudes of people on their own).
Judges 15:13-17
וַיֹּ֧אמְרוּ ל֣וֹ לֵאמֹ֗ר לֹ֚א כִּֽי־אָסֹ֤ר נֶאֱסׇרְךָ֙ וּנְתַנּ֣וּךָ בְיָדָ֔ם וְהָמֵ֖ת לֹ֣א נְמִיתֶ֑ךָ וַיַּאַסְרֻ֗הוּ בִּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ עֲבֹתִ֣ים חֲדָשִׁ֔ים וַֽיַּעֲל֖וּהוּ מִן־הַסָּֽלַע׃
“We won’t,” they replied. “We will only take you prisoner and hand you over to them; we will not slay you.” So they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
הוּא־בָ֣א עַד־לֶ֔חִי וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים הֵרִ֣יעוּ לִקְרָאת֑וֹ וַתִּצְלַ֨ח עָלָ֜יו ר֣וּחַ יְהֹוָ֗ה וַתִּהְיֶ֨ינָה הָעֲבֹתִ֜ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־זְרוֹעוֹתָ֗יו כַּפִּשְׁתִּים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעֲר֣וּ בָאֵ֔שׁ וַיִּמַּ֥סּוּ אֱסוּרָ֖יו מֵעַ֥ל יָדָֽיו׃
When he reached Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. Thereupon the spirit of GOD gripped him, and the ropes on his arms became like flax that catches fire; the bonds melted off his hands.
וַיִּמְצָ֥א לְחִי־חֲמ֖וֹר טְרִיָּ֑ה וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָדוֹ֙ וַיִּקָּחֶ֔הָ וַיַּךְ־בָּ֖הּ אֶ֥לֶף אִֽישׁ׃
He came upon a fresh jawbone of a donkey and he picked it up; and with it he killed a thousand men.
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שִׁמְשׁ֔וֹן בִּלְחִ֣י הַחֲמ֔וֹר חֲמ֖וֹר חֲמֹרָתָ֑יִם בִּלְחִ֣י הַחֲמ֔וֹר הִכֵּ֖יתִי אֶ֥לֶף אִֽישׁ׃
Then Samson said:
“With the jaw of an ass,
Mass upon mass!
With the jaw of an ass
I have slain a thousand men.”
***(With the jaw of your donkey, [the mouth of your clay body], you can slay any Eish [man with intentional sins even if he possesses his flesh] that rises against you, and even make a massive [same root, even vowels here in Hebrew as donkey] pile of donkey carcasses)
וַֽיְהִי֙ כְּכַלֹּת֣וֹ לְדַבֵּ֔ר וַיַּשְׁלֵ֥ךְ הַלְּחִ֖י מִיָּד֑וֹ וַיִּקְרָ֛א לַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא רָ֥מַת לֶֽחִי׃
As he finished speaking, he threw the jawbone away; hence that place was called Ramath-lehi. *Ramath-lechi I.e., “Jawbone Heights.”
'
וַיִּמְצָ֥א לְחִי־חֲמ֖וֹר טְרִיָּ֑ה וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָדוֹ֙ וַיִּקָּחֶ֔הָ וַיַּךְ־בָּ֖הּ אֶ֥לֶף אִֽישׁ׃
He came upon a fresh jawbone of a donkey and he picked it up; and with it he killed a thousand men.

This verse makes me wonder about the parable of "catching pokemon" and the reason I still am alone H'F'. There is a Halacha that when a person comes across a birds nest, he or she has to send the mother bird off before taking the eggs, like beating the Sat-n or chief wizard away and taking the Enosh or Gibor (smaller men) that still fear HaShem as your student/servant. When I have been in religious communities and experimented breaking, "squeezing" eggs with my hand, they say "that's how you do it". Nevertheless this is how alon anava may the name of the wicked rot pushed me off a cliff at sunset and fulfilled the verse about the sun setting and a great dark drunken terror falling upon Avraham. As I was fleeing into the forest I felt him calling me asking for mercy and for me to "take" him and I decided to.
YeshaYaHu/Isaiah 59:5
בֵּיצֵ֤י צִפְעוֹנִי֙ בִּקֵּ֔עוּ וְקוּרֵ֥י עַכָּבִ֖ישׁ יֶאֱרֹ֑גוּ הָאֹכֵ֤ל מִבֵּֽיצֵיהֶם֙ יָמ֔וּת וְהַזּוּרֶ֖ה תִּבָּקַ֥ע אֶפְעֶֽה׃
They hatch adder’s eggs
And weave spider webs;
Whoever eats of those eggs will die,
And if one is crushed, it hatches out a viper.
Tehillim Hallel "Indeed He saves my soul from death! My foot from faltering, my eyes from tears!"
Although I may have been bitter soaked from drinking the cliff water sleeping after front flipping off of it and almost dying in the mountains in the winter had HaShem not responded and saved me B'H'. Although after the first nap the moon and stars were bright and I should've just walked back up.
Anyway the point is if you see a "strong donkey" you want to try this on, be extremely extremely careful he is not a snake that will kill you H'F' especially considering this verse. Maybe much better that if you are like me and never was formally taught this to not attempt such a thing but if you are a more knowledgeable person I think the best way to do it is to lightly squeeze with either hand after purifying him by pushing lightly and pulling close strong (ideally with a vessel like a staff or a book of Torah) until there are no more "bites", or "teeth" (he/she submits to you).
--
As for the "clothes of Esav", there are 3 sins that one cannot transgress and need to submit to death, or if they plan on making you into a "wooden dildo", you should "Shaul HaMelech" yourself, as in maybe move to liberal Canada and Euthanize yourself rather than be a public blasphemy to the entire underworld. This is idolatry/blasphemy, sexual sins like incest, homosexuality, adultery, and beastiality, and bloodshed/murder. Other than this it is only in the presence of 10 Jews (remember idol worshippers are judged as gentiles), then one should consider "moving to Canada" rather than be forced to transgress any sin. Here is a Chabad article as a support if you do not believe me.
Forget the weak green flower paragraph at the end, that fish does not make the Torah and probably lost his scales (submitted to idolatry) H'F'. HaShem does it.
Let's just say my carobs are too gnarly on this matter to feed anybody..
Mishnah Maasarot 3:4
וְהֶחָרוּבִין, עַד שֶׁלֹּא כְנָסָן לְרֹאשׁ הַגַּג, מוֹרִיד מֵהֶם לִבְהֵמָה, פָּטוּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מַחֲזִיר אֶת הַמּוֹתָר:
With carobs, if they had not yet been on the top of the roof, he may take some down for his animals and be exempt [from tithe] since he returns that which is left over (the Mussar, Ethics).
Repenting boars (Charuvin, carobs is plural combination of Chazir, meaning both pig and to return, and Eruv, as in the Shabbat city 'bor'der), as long as they did not try to kill Natan/Nasan at the top of the roof,
or
to the Rosh HaGog (head of the idolatrous nations),
he may bring them down for his beasts (friends/students that are not on the level of Adam) and be exempt from tithing (paying with his flesh, it is Kosher) because he makes the remaining boars repent.
--
If a witch-wizard were to try your hand to take your soul H'F' and realized you were strong from the "Lechem Mah (Milchamah)" - the Bread of What? (HaShem, Torah), and that they are a pig caught in a cage like Yaakov had Esav to get the birthright, a better catch phrase before cursing them to cease to be and sending their soul in the pouch of the sling than the famous evil "any last words" or a US elementary teacher's "what do you have to say for yourself" so that you don't have to hear mein kampf or another blassy complaint is
YirmiYah 3:5
כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֗ה מַה־מָּצְא֨וּ אֲבוֹתֵיכֶ֥ם בִּי֙ עָ֔וֶל כִּ֥י רָחֲק֖וּ מֵעָלָ֑י וַיֵּ֥לְכ֛וּ אַחֲרֵ֥י הַהֶ֖בֶל וַיֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃
Thus said GOD:
What wrong did your fathers (or you) find in Me
That they abandoned Me
And went after delusion and were deluded?
It seems the answers are that everyone is a boar so they also became one.
A light, dusty, headless, eternally lifeless answer as like Moshe says
Deut 32:29
ל֥וּ חָכְמ֖וּ יַשְׂכִּ֣ילוּ זֹ֑את יָבִ֖ינוּ לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם׃
O that they were wise, that they contemplate this, that they would consider their latter end!
This world is compared to one night (Rashi on one of Moshe's Psalms) and they traded their existence to break the Mitzvah about not following after a multitude to evil and became a field ravaging soul snuffing sick boar rather than toughed it out for one night and enjoyed eternal unimaginable bliss.
In the words of our Rooster, "Open up your eye, your wellspring of Torah, and be sated with food!" [or die forever]
---
I forgot to mention that another benefit of having dogs (and other pets) is that you can touch or hold them to combine your electrical torments (animals are also electrically conductive despite all the fur) since like how the West is compared to a pig that has pure parts and impure parts, many Western vinegar torturers have compassion on animals (although they would point their finger at you in a second to end your existence H'F'). For example there is a large vegan movement. On Shabbat one should not stroke them to not knock their hairs out but just lightly touch or hold them to relieve yourself.

When I was in Yeshivat Dvar YiruShalayim, one of my roommates, Asher, was very studious and upright. He told me that anything that you don't remember is liable to get "treacherous winged" as in stolen or changed. Another thing he did when a child came into our room was give him a toy army soldier. It may be wise to place these in your windows (without one of the facial organs like ears and also to be sure scratch the eyes out) as decorations and warnings that you will fight back to intruders to deter heathen crickets from eating you while still enjoying the beautiful skies and nature in the way of Mishnah Shabbat 1:1 above.
The Arizal says one should have many windows in ones house so he can see the world and praise HaShem.
Another idea - the bear is the strongest natural predator to the boar of the forest (Esav the West) and almost all of them are spiritually fat heathen who may relent of their ravaging attempt if you have bear statues displayed. Also crows, robins, sparrows and other birds that eat the field cricket for the alphabet people who are not boarish klansmen
2 Kings 3:22-end
וַיֵּרָפ֣וּ הַמַּ֔יִם עַ֖ד הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּדְבַ֥ר אֱלִישָׁ֖ע אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֵּֽר׃ {פ}
The water has remained wholesome to this day, in accordance with the word spoken by Elisha.
וַיַּ֥עַל מִשָּׁ֖ם בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל וְה֣וּא ׀ עֹלֶ֣ה בַדֶּ֗רֶךְ וּנְעָרִ֤ים קְטַנִּים֙ יָצְא֣וּ מִן־הָעִ֔יר וַיִּתְקַלְּסוּ־בוֹ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ ל֔וֹ עֲלֵ֥ה קֵרֵ֖חַ עֲלֵ֥ה קֵרֵֽחַ׃
From there he went up to Bethel. As he was going up the road, some little boys came out of the town and jeered at him, saying, “Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!”
וַיִּ֤פֶן אַֽחֲרָיו֙ וַיִּרְאֵ֔ם וַֽיְקַלְלֵ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה וַתֵּצֶ֜אנָה שְׁתַּ֤יִם דֻּבִּים֙ מִן־הַיַּ֔עַר וַתְּבַקַּ֣עְנָה מֵהֶ֔ם אַרְבָּעִ֥ים וּשְׁנֵ֖י יְלָדִֽים׃
He turned around and looked at them and cursed them in the name of GOD. Thereupon, two she-bears came out of the woods and mangled forty-two of the children.
וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ מִשָּׁ֖ם אֶל־הַ֣ר הַכַּרְמֶ֑ל וּמִשָּׁ֖ם שָׁ֥ב שֹׁמְרֽוֹן׃ {פ}
He went on from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
Since before AyliYaHu ascended to Heaven there was both him and Aylisha (meaning G-d is Salvation), Aylisha was given a double portion of AyliYaHu's spirit. I have heard I think in the Gemara or from a Chabad Rabbi that the reason he did this was because he saw through his prophetic spirit that they had no "juice" in them, as in no merit in their future. Nevertheless he was punished and had to go to Gehinnom (Purgatory). Don't worry about the curse from YeshaYaHu 65 because Aylisha was an accepted and respected Navi/Prophet in the Kingdom of Israel when there were purification waters and his life was not on the line from 42 children to invoke the Name of HaShem in a curse. (Tazers were not commonplace)
Maybe we can also learn from this if you look at the person before cursing him/her in your moment of anger, your evil eye increases the power of the curse.
A proof of this is that the Gemara says when Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai came out of the cave he was hiding in from the Roman government with his son learning the Wisdom of the Zohar, at first everyone he looked at he would evil eye for their sins and they would immediately burst into flames. I will get the source
Shabbat 33b
Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai and his son, Rabbi Elazar, went and hid in the study hall. Every day Rabbi Shimon’s wife would bring them bread and a jug of water and they would eat. When the decree intensified, Rabbi Shimon said to his son: Women are easily impressionable and, therefore, there is room for concern lest the authorities torture her and she reveal our whereabouts. They went and they hid in a cave. A miracle occurred and a carob tree was created for them as well as a spring of water. They would remove their clothes and sit covered in sand up to their necks. They would study Torah all day in that manner. At the time of prayer, they would dress, cover themselves, and pray, and they would again remove their clothes afterward so that they would not become tattered. They sat in the cave for twelve years. Elijah the Prophet came and stood at the entrance to the cave and said: Who will inform bar Yoḥai that the emperor died and his decree has been abrogated? They emerged from the cave, and saw people who were plowing and sowing. Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai said: These people abandon eternal life of Torah study and engage in temporal life for their own sustenance. The Gemara relates that every place that Rabbi Shimon and his son Rabbi Elazar directed their eyes was immediately burned.
**The Aramaic used here is Saraf that can also mean consume
A Divine Voice emerged and said to them: Did you emerge from the cave in order to destroy My world? Return to your cave. They again went and sat there for twelve months. They said: The judgment of the wicked in Gehenna lasts for twelve months. Surely their sin was atoned in that time. A Divine Voice emerged and said to them: Emerge from your cave. They emerged. Everywhere that Rabbi Elazar would strike, Rabbi Shimon would heal. Rabbi Shimon said to Rabbi Elazar: My son, you and I suffice for the entire world, as the two of us are engaged in the proper study of Torah. As the sun was setting on Shabbat eve, they saw an elderly man who was holding two bundles of myrtle branches and running at twilight. They said to him: Why do you have these? He said to them: In honor of Shabbat. They said to him: And let one suffice. He answered them: One is corresponding to: “Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it holy” (Exodus 20:8), and one is corresponding to: “Observe the Shabbat day, to keep it holy” (Deuteronomy 5:12). Rabbi Shimon said to his son: See how beloved the mitzvot are to Israel. Their minds were put at ease and they were no longer as upset that people were not engaged in Torah study. Rabbi Pineḥas ben Ya’ir, Rabbi Shimon’s son-in-law, heard and went out to greet him. He brought him into the bathhouse and began tending to his flesh. He saw that Rabbi Shimon had cracks in the skin on his body. He was crying, and the tears fell from his eyes and caused Rabbi Shimon pain. Rabbi Pineḥas said to Rabbi Shimon, his father-in-law: Woe is me, that I have seen you like this. Rabbi Shimon said to him: Happy are you that you have seen me like this, as had you not seen me like this, you would not have found in me this prominence in Torah, as the Gemara relates: At first, when Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai would raise a difficulty, Rabbi Pineḥas ben Ya’ir would respond to his question with twelve answers. Ultimately, when Rabbi Pineḥas ben Ya’ir would raise a difficulty, Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai would respond with twenty-four answers. Rabbi Shimon said: Since a miracle transpired for me, I will go and repair something for the sake of others in gratitude for God’s kindness, as it is written: “And Jacob came whole to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and he graced the countenance of the city” (Genesis 33:18). Rav said, the meaning of: And Jacob came whole, is: Whole in his body, whole in his money, whole in his Torah. And what did he do? And he graced the countenance of the city; he performed gracious acts to benefit the city. Rav said: Jacob established a currency for them. And Shmuel said: He established marketplaces for them. And Rabbi Yoḥanan said: He established bathhouses for them. In any event, clearly one for whom a miracle transpires should perform an act of kindness for his neighbors as a sign of gratitude. He said: Is there something that needs repair?

For I am going to raise up in the land a shepherd who will neither miss the lost [sheep], nor seek the strayed, nor heal the injured, nor sustain the frail, but will feast on the flesh of the fat ones and tear off their hoofs.

Let a sword descend upon his arm

His arm shall shrivel up;
His right eye shall go blind.

Adar 25
As we have learned a man on the level of Adam is compared to a tree and Eish is compared to a branch. When a deer has "spikes" as in small antlers, I heard from a Laban Chaveir that this can actually sometimes be more deadly when deer fight than a full rack. This makes sense since there are more end points on the full rack, surface area to distribute the force (like how pushing someone with your hand doesn't hurt as much as poking with a finger or two). I found a spike in the forest last week and it could easily rip flesh to shreds especially on a large beast like a deer.
Shemot/Exodus "The Lord is an Eish (master) of war, The Lord is His Name"
It seems some people were interested so here is how I found it:
Bereishet 27:39
וַיַּ֛עַן יִצְחָ֥ק אָבִ֖יו וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֑יו הִנֵּ֞ה מִשְׁמַנֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה מֽוֹשָׁבֶ֔ךָ וּמִטַּ֥ל הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם מֵעָֽל׃
Then Yitzhak his father answered, saying to him [Esav]:
Here, from the fat of the earth
must be your dwelling-place,
from the dew of the heavens above.
The spikes fit perfectly between my fingers to act as a puncturing weapon where as if I had found a rack I don't know if I would even use it in such a circumstance

For our boxing/self defense lessons, truly I only boxed for a few months before an older man broke my nose and (after it breaks a good time once its very easy to break again) I had to retire before losing too many brain cells Thank G-d. Anyway my coaches were always saying I didn't have enough head movement, as in not bobbing and weaving enough to defend myself. I found that if you start by moving your hands around, "bobbing and weaving" them, it makes your actual bobbing and weaving much smoother.
Remember that body shots, especially under the arms/kidneys, hurt much worse than most face shots unless you can land the rare nose shot. In the words of coach John Robertson, "you can eat face shots but body shots break people down." Therefore make sure any time you get close to strike your elbows are tucked in and forearms up, slightly inverted, protecting both your face and body (not too close)

Hosea 14:9
וַאֲשׁוּרֶ֗נּוּ אֲנִי֙ כִּבְר֣וֹשׁ רַעֲנָ֔ן מִמֶּ֖נִּי פֶּרְיְךָ֥ נִמְצָֽא
"And We will observe that I Am like a Leafy Cypress. From Me, your fruit is found."
If a man feels "overwatered" and doesn't have the strength for Torah and there is no other pressing Mitzvah, then instead of succumbing to old dusty habits, he should draw inspiration from the tree that also has leaves to cool us off and fruit to enjoy. According to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, roots correspond to faith (Pirkei Avot: deeds), the trunk is Torah study, branches Mitzvot (Avot: Wisdom), leaves expressions of Torah values, and fruit is our interactions with family and society, the ultimate fulfillment.
Therefore maybe go on a hike for exercise, plant a garden or some indoor bonsai fruit trees to improve your air quality, if you still have to make money then business tasks, learn a new recipe or how chefs make their foods tastier, or do Kiruv (bringing close) to your family or community, or teach your children a skill or way to make money etc. The Gemara says a man is obligated to teach his son a trade/skill for money and find him a wife.

If you are laughing at my 4 and 20 high school wrestling record and therefore not taking this advice seriously, here are my excuses. The Jr. high wrestling coach was a heavy weight who didn't know technique so my first 3 years were using very simple moves, mainly the "cement job" and I had a decent winning record in 9th grade. For example if you have some knowledge, I didn't even know how to properly shoot a single leg until high school. In 10th I beat all of the upperclassmen in wrestle-offs and PinaShalomYah (Pennsylvania) is for some reason the #1 state for wrestling difficulty. Also this was after I broke my nose in the previous summer so I had to wear a thick mask that was hard to breathe in and I would often just give up since I didn't care enough to torture myself trying to breathe through a battle that was actually a meaningless sport. In 11th I tried not wearing the mask and broke my nose again early on so I gave it up. Who knows how much of it was real and who was demonically possessed and who was an iRobot like that Will Smith movie anyway. Also I was blind weak grass back then flooding my strength all over the place as coarse and wicked people do H'F'

Rambam writes that it is forbidden to delay using the restroom, large or small, but does not provide layers of detail. Here is a Q&A with many very valuable insights. Remember that Gal can mean rejoicing or pile of rocks so this Mitzvah is very important to staying happy.

After I posted the Zugot laws from Pesachim, one of my coworkers posted in the work chat a gif of a fat blonde person looking surprised and taking the shades off his glasses and it inspired me to "peel the layers" of this halacha and see the "fatness" hidden in it.
I think the reason for it is because the soul of Mashiach includes all of the other souls of mankind therefore eating two of these foods will make you think you are separate from me and possibly rebel H'F'. For example the song of the Chicken is "He gives (NoTeiN) food to all flesh, indeed His Kindness is Eternal", so you see it can be novelized Natan is food to all flesh. For the nuts, when there was a rebellion against the authority of Aharon my forefather, Aharon's staff and the rebels' staffs were cast together and Aharon's grew ripe almonds. For the cucumbers I'm not yet exactly fully aware but they are called Kishuin and my name shares most of the letters.
Actually bread and butter pickles are some of the only vegetables I eat.

Adar 26
I had said about artwork of bears and birds to ward off boars and cericket people, but actually a more inclusive piece would be a cat. Ohr Somayach's Perek Shira special on the cat used to say how it is describing the downfall of Edom. It sings two songs and it took that song out, it is:
חָתוּל אוֹמֵר. אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כּֽוֹכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אוֹרִֽידְךָ נְאֻם־יְיָ׃ (עובדיה א ד)
The Cat is saying, “If you rise up like a vulture, and place your nest among the stars, from there I shall bring you down, says YHVH.”
" Perhaps they started taking some fire and decided to cast some leaves down (teaching us epic fiery Torah that isn't really essential like Halachot)
I bought a 2 year old cat on Craigslist for $50 dollars yesterday and she has been delightfully sweet and hunts down heathen souls with her evil eye. A golden retriever puppy is ~$1,500 or more for context.
However beware that heathen don't like looking at cats as much as dogs so they hijack her soul more often H'F'!
Also the sages warn against a white cat in the Gemara, specifically one that was the offspring of another white (or black?) cat (you can look it up it gets confusing). But I don't think one should worry about that as if you commit yourself to righteousness it will be written about you
Bereisheit 9:2
וּמוֹרַאֲכֶ֤ם וְחִתְּכֶם֙ יִֽהְיֶ֔ה עַ֚ל כׇּל־חַיַּ֣ת הָאָ֔רֶץ וְעַ֖ל כׇּל־ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּרְמֹ֧שׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֛ה וּֽבְכׇל־דְּגֵ֥י הַיָּ֖ם בְּיֶדְכֶ֥ם נִתָּֽנוּ׃
The fear and the dread of you shall be upon all the beasts of the earth and upon all the birds of the sky—everything with which the earth is astir—and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hand.
(apply this also to idolators, compared to vicious forest animals while pure people are "beasts of the field/pen", as in playing a purpose for The Farmer, HaShem. Therefore apply it to other pure sheep/goats/cows etc. - the more righteous and devoted scholar will "conquer" the other bulls like the "studs" of the pen)
YeshaYaHu 56:9
כֹּ֖ל חַיְת֣וֹ שָׂדָ֑י אֵתָ֕יוּ לֶאֱכֹ֥ל כׇּל־חַיְת֖וֹ בַּיָּֽעַר׃ {פ}
All the beasts of the field, come to devour all the beasts in the forest.
Rashi:
כֹּל חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי. כָּל גֵּרֵי הָאֻמּוֹת, אֵתָיוּ וְהִתְקָרְבוּ אֵלַי, וְתֹאכְלוּ אֶת כָּל חַיְתוֹ בַּיַּעַר, אֶת גִּבּוֹרֵי הָאֻמּוֹת שֶׁאִמְּצוּ אֶת לִבָּם מִלְּהִתְגַּיֵּר:
All the beasts of the field All the proselytes of the heathens ([Mss. and K’li Paz:] All the nations) come and draw near to Me, and you shall devour all the beasts in the forest, the mighty [Giborai] of the heathens ([Mss. and K’li Paz:] the mighty of the nations) who hardened their heart and refrained from converting.
חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי. חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה אֵין כֹּחָהּ רַב כְּחַיַּת הַיַּעַר, חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה חֲלָשָׁה וְתַשּׁוּשַׁת כֹּחַ מֵחַיַּת הַיַּעַר, וְעַל שֶׁאָמַר עוֹד אֲקַבֵּץ עָלָיו אָמַר הַמִּקְרָא הַזֶּה:
the beasts of the field [The beast of the field is not as strong as the beast of the forest.] The beast of the field is weaker and of weaker strength than the beast of the forest. Since he stated, “I will yet gather others to him,” he stated this verse.

A dried out tree branch is much much more easily snapped and burned than a juicy one. As we have learned anointing is like drinking and therefore I want to reiterate how important it is to always have some sort of oil on your head and face at least. Olive oil is a poor conductor of electricity and I find a day and night difference from when I get too lazy to anoint myself H'F'. In the words of shlomo who "dried out" or alternatively Ash-medai,
Ecclesiastes 9:8
בְּכׇל־עֵ֕ת יִהְי֥וּ בְגָדֶ֖יךָ לְבָנִ֑ים וְשֶׁ֖מֶן עַל־רֹאשְׁךָ֥ אַל־יֶחְסָֽר׃
In all times may your clothes be freshly washed, and oil upon your head not be lacking.

If you are one of those complaining against how dark and vile some of my teachings are, ן the final Nun of my name, I have heard from a student-teacher at Yeshivat Temimi Darech in Tzfat years ago in the name of the Alter Rebbe in one of his works, the final Nun descends below the Teivah, the letter box, to the world of impurity.
The final letters can all have very large, heavy, Gematriot, numerical values.
The final letter of the Alef-Beit, ת Taf, is 400, then ך, final Caf is 500, ם final Mem is 600 (although it does not descend it is the entire square boundary of the Teivah, like an alter or table that comes from Gevurah/Severity since food, souls, are being consumed on them. Also we all know the severity of the Hidden Torah (Final Mem) when a field person points at us or tries to trap our souls with our mouths/speech H'F'. Then ן final Nun is 700. Therefore the name Natan can have the Gematria of 1150 putting it in the world of Chochmah, Wisdom according to Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's commentary on Sefer Bahir.
(hundreds would be Binah/Understanding, tens Zeir Anpin, the emotions, and singles would be Malchut, the physical world, action, that is a culmination of the upper worlds)
This is another thing to consider when naming yourself or children or pets (I named my cat תותי Tuthi, "My Berry".)
***if you are past your days of potentially being put to a test with a physical fight H'F' you may want to skip to the next fig leaves (asteriks)
If H'F' you ever find yourself in a fight for your life against one of the Sat-n's many hosts and you are wrestling on the ground, squirm, kick, and flail (unless you know what you are doing) like a big cat until you find yourself on top, put all your weight on him/her from the side to prevent them from standing. If you find the opportunity you can fulfill the Tehillim Psalm 10:15:
שְׁ֭בֹר זְר֣וֹעַ רָשָׁ֑ע וָ֝רָ֗ע תִּֽדְרוֹשׁ־רִשְׁע֥וֹ בַל־תִּמְצָֽא׃
Break Thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.
by putting your knee opposite the side you are on (if you are on his left use your right knee) on top of their shoulder/armpit. Then you wind their arm upward and away from you to break it. This is extremely cruel and vile to even think about so only do this if necessary to save your soul.
Another tip, when bobbing and weaving in the 'striking stage' of the fight, you can leverage your punches by timing them with your head movement. For example you can lean to the bottom left from your stance and then throw a huge strong hook with your left hand (if your right hand is stronger and your stance is with your left foot in front). I said your throwing foot should rotate outwards about ~90 degrees but with a large hook (to their earlobe! or kidney!) it could be more like ~180 degrees
Alternatively you can just chomp their neck as hard as you can as soon as you are able, as Rashi says teeth are a parable for strength.

I once reposted a story about the Gra that on his deathbed he cried or was sad that in this world, he was able to fulfill the Mitzvah of TziTzit (women are not obligated as it is time bound) for only a couple coins (today maybe ~$10-20 and even free at a Gemach). This was before Techeilet (the blue winding string) was rediscovered and therefore today it costs around ~$70 at least. I think I got mine here at Tekhelet.com
If we combine our wisdom of Rambam saying only wool or linen 4 cornered garments are Biblically mandated in fringes, and that wool and linen had scores of 5000 for their energy frequency levels relative to the baseline level of 100 for the human body and organic cotton, and that this Mitzvah does not apply during the day we can see that HaShem wants us to wear linen and wool and maybe there is even more energy (a mystery for the scientists to find) in the blue Tekhelet dye to have a lot of energy in the day for Torah study and the "bread", labor to support it (as in the saying of the Sages - 'No flour, no Torah').
If you argue that Google says this study was psuedoscience I challenge you to sleep tonight in a wool blanket (unless you fulfill the verse Isaiah 49:22
אֵ֣ין שָׁל֔וֹם אָמַ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה לָרְשָׁעִֽים׃ "
There is no safety [lit. peace]—said GOD—for the wicked."
then maybe creep on someone as you people do trying out a wool or linen blanket or even a thin Tallit Katan-[this was a joke as its forbidden to look through people's private windows or even gaze in their gardens])
Vayikra Leviticus 6:6
אֵ֗שׁ תָּמִ֛יד תּוּקַ֥ד עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ לֹ֥א תִכְבֶּֽה׃
"A[n Eish, man/master] fire is to continuously be kindled/burning upon the altar, not to be extinguished"
Wool and linen garments, especially when bestowing upon you the merit of Tzitzit if they are 4 cornered, are like your kindling to keep you burning, as in zealous/passionate.

Something else to consider about YechezkEl EzekiEl 13:18 is that for women, bras may act in the same way as head coverings socks and shoes to overheat people and cause them to despair of their souls by trapping it H'F'. It may be much better to wear loose and maybe thick clothing like a sweatshirt than a bra.
Therefore if you have a brother like "my brother" that lives in a demon-cratic city and pushes (as in supports and 'sells' to people) their evil concepts like plowing/suffocating women's "fields", their breasts that support their children (through unnecessary abortions), you could call him a lib-bra. (remember that "my breasts" and HaShem's Almighty Name "Sha-dai" are almost identical)
Why do I put parentheses around "my brother"? It seems very obvious to me that its either a new person every time we talk or a new soul flown into his body.

Pesachim 111b from Steinsaltz
"Bread crumbs in the house cause poverty. If these crumbs are spread throughout the house on Shabbat nights, i.e., Friday nights, or on Tuesday nights, when demons are present, harmful spirits rest on them."
When I started putting all my kitchen scraps into a biodegradable bag and burying them in my garden, I saw a lot more Berachot of Chochmah (Blessings of Wisdom). When I spent Shabbat at my teacher in Dvar YeruShalayim's apartment, Rabbi David Gilberg, he used to collect all of his bread crumbs and make pie crusts with them. Even if you live in an apartment you can mix some scraps like crumbs and coffee grounds into your potted plants.
If you are more "crunchy" you can also urinate in a bucket and fill it 10:1 or 20:1 (for younger/more sensitive plants) water to urine and apparently this makes the plants very leafy. Maybe leave it out in the next rainfall or filling it with water would defeat the purpose of conserving water/energy unless you live in a place that is 100% renewable powered.
Edit: considering all the water saved from not flushing it should be good anyway.
Why would this be beneficial? If you are like me then everyone you have ever met and continue to meet is compared to "waste", urine and feces since the Arizal says humans are the "food" of creation, the final product that all of the hosts of Heaven watch for entertainment since we are the only ones with free choice (and the only choice we have is how much we decide to fear Heaven). Therefore since this final Roman exile is alluded to in the Torah by the words "fell upon", the Sat-ns and chief wizards are most often sending "fresh falls" that were recently living "food" and are now "urine and feces." Therefore since your garden is an extension of you, it is a way to "consume" them and elevate (making them into fertilizer) them rather than flush them to a sewage treatment facility where they have to waste energy treating it and are likely spirit cooking with it or eating it etc H'F'.
By the way the Arizal made it customary to not pronounce the word "sat-n" or their names, i.e. Sama-El, Li-lith (His female counterpart that is apparently much stronger) and Ash-medai, their offspring and the King of demons. I assume unless you are reading Torah about them.
Nevertheless one should view all creations as friends in the service of HaShem. For example, the Ari said one should not pronounce holy names unless he is on friendly terms with the Sat-n.
Nevertheless I used to go to Shabbat meals at a Chassid's apartment in Har Nof Jerusalem when I was studying in Yeshiva there. He once told a story that there was a Tzaddik running from a government of some yoke-casting-off country. He came to a river where he was cornered, and pronounced a holy name and his staff turned into a bridge and he escaped. It happened a second time where he was being pursued and was cornered by a river. This time he decided to trust in HaShem and threw down his staff without wasting any words, and it miraculously turned into a bridge for him to escape anyway.

Since many of you may not have fathers that have taught you trades, and we do not know how soon the Keitz (ending) will be when I Robots handle all of our work for everyone, I am going to give you tips on how to succeed in sales. Please don't evil eye me because I started off for about 2 and a half years of my sales career working over 8 hours a day, most of the time in a store or office. However if you can get a fully remote SaaS (Software as a Service, like how you have to pay monthly for Netflix H'F' or Youtube Premium for adless music), it is like more than semi-retirement (I only have to work about maybe 2 hours a day. The hardest part is spreading the calls out and answering random messages to pretend)
The main advice from my father who had a career as a shoe salesman and his grandfather opened the shoe store in Ayltovnu (Altoona), PA:
Most people only care about themselves [we all live in our own heads].
Therefore ask them questions about themselves and seem interested in them.
How to get a tech SaaS sales job:
Make a professional looking LinkedIn [click] (since the West is a lie and we are prisoners for their spectating pleasure like how actual dead people and angels watch us in the parable of the movie The Truman Show, you could just bluff some experience from maybe some random tech startups [they make them up anyway] in order to get some space from the zombies while still giving yourself freedom with an income)
Search in LinkedIn Jobs "Business (or) Sales Development Representative or BDR or SDR" and the location "Remote USA" or "Remote EMEA" in Europe/Israel. I recommend selecting the "Easy Apply" filter. You will need to make a decent resume. Here is mine for example:
Remember, the Sages teach "All beginnings are hard".
Also I had a 9 year old photo of me for my LinkedIn profile photo (Every cell in the body regenerates every few weeks or months and people look different over time) with my eyes looking away (at a guitar) to minimize witch curses by I think 90% based on the logic that the only free choice we have is how much we fear Heaven (based in Gevurah that are correlated to the eyes) and that every Sefirah contains every of the other 9 Sefirot.
However actually my hands were revealed and David HaMelech has a Tehillim about the heathen attacking his hands. The hands are also related to Gevurot as its written in Shemot "Behold, the hand of HaShem hits!"
This is the most important step! After getting the interview, just be very charismatic and try your best during their questions. Much more important is when they ask you for your questions. This is what separates the candidates.
Ask at least 4-5 of these:
What kind of training do you provide to your salespeople?
How do you see B/SDRs fail in this role?
What does the path to progression to Account Executive (full cycle/closers)
or Management look like? (Even if you have no intention of working that hard to get promoted, its important to ask this!)
What percentage of your S/BDRs are achieving quota?
Why do you like working at this company?
What sets this product apart from competitors?
What does the future of the company look like, let's say in 3-5 years?
My advice for setting meetings over the phone when a random person picks up:
Seem exceedingly friendly with the opening "Heeyyy" [a normal person wouldn't just spit out a mulberry] and keep this very jubilant tone throughout the call. Unless they seem upset, then tone it back but still try to perk them up with some positivity. If they seem a little irritated or rushed then you can pick up the pace so they don't hang up on you.
Actually the training is pretty detailed but basically get any information your employer asks, then just direct them to accept the meeting and if they give any push back, give an "agreeable statement" then ask why? like "I completely understand, but can I ask why [you aren't interested]?" another example if they say they like using Microsoft say Understandable! What do you like about it? Oh I see, if we are able to offer better security/performance/price etc. would you consider us? Great I am going to schedule a quick call with a Specialist to get you an apples to apples comparison, how about later today at 4 ET? Busy? Now worries, how about tomorrow morning at 10? Great sending the invite now, looking forward.
Don't worry about undercutting business, the West is a plowed field directed by the Erev Rav (Great Evening, the band of wicked idolators controlling the world. Just look at the dollar bill with the the pyramid and triangle eye constantly creeping on us, enrichening us by stealing from us and owing us money) and again everyone is fake anyway and this is mostly a Kiruv effort. Like that old alternative rock song they "gotta keep em separated" to make it easier to kill our souls H'F'. For me it just sickens me to 'shadow'stomp at their earlobes more often and fulfill my job of eating all the heathen on our Earth. In the words of the Wild Goose "Panu Derech HaShem" - Clear the way for HaShem! Plow the wicked and coarse people, the thistles and tender herbage/grass for our fruit tree orchards!!
אֲוַז הַבָּר הַמְּשׁוֹטֶטֶת בַּמִּדְבָּר. כְּשֶׁרוֹאֵה אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹסְקִים בַּתּוֹרָה אוֹמֶרֶת. קוֹל קוֹרֵא בַּמִּדְבָּר, פָּנוּ דֶּרֶךְ יי, יַשְׁרוּ בַּעֲרָבָה מְסִלָּה לֶאֱלֹהֵינוּ, וְעַל מְצִיאוּת מְזוֹנוֹתֶיהָ בַּמִּדְבָּר אוֹמֶרֶת. אָרוּר הַגֶּבֶר אַשֵּׁר יִבְטַח בָּאָדָם, בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בְּיי וְהָיָה יי מִבְטָחוֹ:
The Wild Goose flying in the wilderness, when it sees Yisra’el busy with Torah, is saying “A voice cries, Prepare in the wilderness the way of YHVH, make straight in the desert a path for our Elo’ah. And upon finding its food in the wilderness, it says, “Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings…” Blessed is the man who trusts in YHVH, and YHVH shall be his assurance.”
A good reminder that before starting this remote Heavenly Barista-FIRE (as in someone semi retired that only needs to work part time or in this case less) job search is to pray to The Master of All the Wealth in the Universe for success before you begin.
By the way if you donated to me it got stolen so I would advise either to knock on my door and help me write Torah all day instead of play this game or just withhold from donating since they will steal it.
Also!! I would only apply for jobs with base pay (they range from about $40k to $70k. $40k is enough to buy a house in a smaller town/city. For example the rule I was told is a person can afford 2.5x their salary. My house in here in Central PA was $62k, 3 bed 1 bath and an attic and garage, and it was (cheaply but decently) revamped with paint and new carpets. Most importantly there is air space on all 4 of my sides from neighbors and a nice garden/small orchard sized front and back yards. In retrospect I probably would have bought a house with more space from neighbors as they were very buggy before I started shadow boxing/stomping their earlobes immediately for lying in wait for me H'F'. However, again, the name of the place and street is the most important, and Ir Yehochanan/Yonatan, on BeLan (with/in sleep) or Belen (ritual bath master/attendant) street has been priceless. Blaine actually means yellow in Gaelic and who doesn't like a nice bright yellow like the light of the sun?
**Also, you will likely have to spend a day or two mass applying to as many companies on LinkedIn that you have energy and morale to do.

Interesting article from Ohr Somayach quoting Rabbi Shlomo of Urbino on the different words for "thorn" in Tanakh.

If you are an incestual heathen lining up to yell "to each their own" through my window, if the Torah prohibits incest even with an uncle, why would you think it would be okay to marry your identical twin, daughter, or whatever you sick people are doing? Next person to do this is immediately getting a shadow boxed strong hook to their ear lobe

If you are wondering/considering, here is an update on Tuthy my cat. Since I learn/work on the 2nd floor there was often quaking from the dusty ones flying in. Tuthy hunts the heathen all day and now there is much less. When I call her into the room to pet her we both get quaked lol.
Why don't I make my office in the basement like I suggested? I sit on a sheet of rubber with my feet on one too, and combined with the rubber bands and rings on my right hand its really almost perfectly fine.
Its not the rumbling or the extra dirt in the restroom that is upsetting to people, its the tazers that they shoot with/after them!!
The view is much better and its cold and dark and potentially toxic (gasses) in the basement. Also I have a grounding rod coming either today or tomorrow from eBay that will hopefully reach my window from outside to be even better than a basement foundation.
By the way the best thing to do after a "large" need for the restroom is the get a Luxe bidet on Amazon, or a portable one ($10), and I would suggest not using toilet paper but either a rock or your left hand. You may also want/need to angle yourself away from YiruShalayim at least ~45 degrees- Rambam makes this Halacha (I think based on Gemara) but I've only seen in the Mishnah not to urinate/defecate towards or opposite the sun or the moon (presumingly outside or next to a window or it would be very hard to keep track all day -I think Rabbi Moshe Feinstein has this opinion).
Anyway a good alternative is to take a quick shower (make sure if you take multiple showers every day to "rehydrate" with a lot of olive/coconut/avocado etc oil).
If you live out in the forest and are complaining you don't have a restroom then find a river to camp next to like a king or pray for a good easy job, many people have them. As long as you are not overworking and doing Kiruv you will be protected by Heaven and again, HaShem will make all the vicious beasts like herbs and vegetables for you to enjoy.
"Gird your loins like a warrior" (Sefer Job, ironically or intentionally) and enjoy the Beit, the Beracha (House is associated with Blessing)

אדם איש
Adam and Eish - the highest and 3rd level of the titles of Man
How can an Eish get to the level of Adam?
Adam can be novelized א Alef, The Bull דם blood. As in his whole lowest level of soul, the blood, is the blood of HaShem (Remember that Alef is a metaphor for HaShem and a bull)
איש Eish can be novelized א Alef יש Yesh (There is). As in, The Bull is in him (partially). Why? One of the definitions of Yesh that BDB lists is "elsewhere", as in א יש There is The Alef, elsewhere. He needs to make himself a 100% subservient slave to The Holy One who is the only actual Soul existing and see himself as a part of HaShem

When its a good time to get a shadow boxing exercise in now that (hopefully) many of our students have been practicing the punches, a good thing to do is practice different combinations to get your muscle memory set if the real thing were to occur H'F'.
I remember the coaches telling me "head-body-head", as in you want to go back and forth from kidney and stomach shots to nose (maybe if you know they are gog, Adam's apple/neck shots would be better) and earlobe shots to move their guard around and hopefully slip a large shot through unblocked. Also after you are done with a combo you should duck, cover your face, and "slip" by rotating your whole body on your forward weak foot about 90 degrees to the right or left (or in between, or less than 90 degrees, make it random) and stepping back to avoid any counter punches. By the same logic you should avoid combos that are too long. Generally about 2-4 maybe 5 punches max (unless you have him/her "on the ropes," then just "tee off," as in keep them coming as hard as you can) but most will realistically be 2-3.
Another good defense is to hide your face behind your left (if your strong hand is the right) shoulder and slip/block punches this way
Here's a good example: A quick jab to the nose to get the guard up then a straight right hand or a hook to the stomach or side of it or kidney, then a large knockout hook to the earlobe.
Another: A jab to the face/upper throat, then/or just a jab to the stomach to bend them forward, then a knockout strong handed uppercut (rotate your wrist so that your palm is towards you while punching upwards - again never throw a strong handed hook/haymaker!) to where the throat connects to the head for extra leverage (since they are bent) like teeing off on a bloody (red) souls-stitched-together baseball lobbed to you or on a tee.
(side note: Perhaps this represents the fallen soul-bundled people of Laban coming to you. Since its a ball maybe its women and the bat represents Torah and you have to make it to Home Beit [Ashkenazim say Beis] without "falling to Shaynah", getting out of life H'F'. For women and since the ball is larger apply it to "Shane" acting "round", "soft" with you lol
Hiking, Holech, like Melech, king, in nature, HaTeivah, (Gematria of Elokim), is the best way to get exercise. HaShem had the Patriarchs hiking to different places around The Holy Land. Unless you have a clear path with no cars biking and mountain biking could be dangerous or even around the streets with all the zombies evil eyeing us H'F'. Let's chew the cud of Rebbe Nachman's Hitbonenut advice,
Actually now that I think about it the treacherous double shadowing winged crickets could use you "getting out" in base/softball as a voodoo curse H'F')
My brother (remember everyone is dead) when I was younger told me if you punch someone straight in the nose at an upwards angle it can break into the brain and kill them.
If you can't identify them or they are a Gibor against H' H'F' that switches back and forth from sat-ns and gog or something else, maybe every time you aim for the head with either hand, aim for where the head connects to the neck to kill two birds with one stone.
***Beware, aiming for gog's face/head or sat-n's neck will cause you pain H'F', or really anywhere else except gog's ankles I've found. That is why I always say 'earlobes' from the dead Gibor actor from high school's advice

Adar 28
Chok LeYisrael (Daily Zohar from Arizal) Parshat Noach day 4:
"Not only that, but Noah warned them every day, but they did not pay attention. And the verse: "Yet if you warn the wicked... you have delivered your soul," (Ezekiel 3:19) is applied to him. From this we learn that whoever warns the wicked — even if the wicked do not heed him — that person saves himself, while the wicked are punished according to their sins. How far should he go in warning them? And he answered: Until he hits them. This issue has already been explained by our colleagues."

About getting a job to support Torah and do Kiruv to hasten Redemption, we can apply the Roosters' very popular sixth call:
בְּקוֹל שִׁישִּׁי אוֹמֵר. אַל תֶּאֱהַב שֵׁנָה פֶּן תִּוָּרֵשׁ פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ שְׂבַע לָחֶם: (משלי כ יג)
In its sixth call, it is saying, “Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.”
See, "Do not love strength (teeth, Sheinim, as in living out in nature or hiding from society to preserve your strength) (or also sleep, as in hiding from people to have more sleep and rest) lest you become impoverished (and not be able to afford grape juice and hot food for Shabbat and other Mitzvot H'F'). Open up your people (with Torah, Wisdom through Kiruv - Yisrael is an anagram for Li Rosh, 'My Head', therefore in the words of Isaiah we are responsible for being "a light to the nations") during the week and be sated with bread/food (including herbs and vegetables) from your war efforts.
Direct support from Pirkei Avot 2:2
רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל בְּנוֹ שֶׁל רַבִּי יְהוּדָה הַנָּשִׂיא אוֹמֵר, יָפֶה תַלְמוּד תּוֹרָה עִם דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ, שֶׁיְּגִיעַת שְׁנֵיהֶם מְשַׁכַּחַת עָוֹן. וְכָל תּוֹרָה שֶׁאֵין עִמָּהּ מְלָאכָה, סוֹפָהּ בְּטֵלָה וְגוֹרֶרֶת עָוֹן. וְכָל הָעֲמֵלִים עִם הַצִּבּוּר, יִהְיוּ עֲמֵלִים עִמָּהֶם לְשֵׁם שָׁמַיִם, שֶׁזְּכוּת אֲבוֹתָם מְסַיַּעְתָּן וְצִדְקָתָם עוֹמֶדֶת לָעַד. וְאַתֶּם, מַעֲלֶה אֲנִי עֲלֵיכֶם שָׂכָר הַרְבֵּה כְּאִלּוּ עֲשִׂיתֶם:
Rabban Gamaliel the son of Rabbi Judah Hanasi said: excellent is the study of the Torah when combined with a worldly occupation, for toil in them both keeps sin out of one’s mind; But [study of the] Torah which is not combined with a worldly occupation, in the end comes to be neglected and becomes the cause of sin. And all who labor with the community, should labor with them for the sake of Heaven, for the merit of their forefathers sustains them (the community), and their (the forefather’s) righteousness endures for ever; And as for you, [God in such case says] I credit you with a rich reward, as if you [yourselves] had [actually] accomplished [it all].
About 5 years ago I emailed Rabbi HarGanim (Ginsburg) telling him about all the spiritual troubles etc. and he told me what I needed to do was as much Chesed (Kindness) / Tzedakah (Charity) as possible.
If you are making excuses that everyone is dangerous, if you haven't figured it out, they always have been and its your responsibility as wood to propagate the meadow with trees. If someone gets too treacherous just shadow kick-box their ear lobes or recite YeshaYaHu Isaiah 65:15 on all of their people (the wicked are never acting independently). They have the technology to track us down and find us wherever we are with nano drones anyway so we may as well face it and clean up the mess.

Science lesson:
Yesterday I found this American Chestnut (left) in the local park near me, probably protected from the blight since its surrounded by the town:
This is an extremely inspirational tree as redwoods and sequoias don't have fruit, and oaks and beeches only fruit every few years (I don't know yet for sure but am doubting that they are included in the Halacha not to cut down fruit trees for use during war because of this). Am. Chestnuts were called the redwoods of the East.
This tree is arguably one of, if not the most valuable trees in the world. Why?
The American chestnut has the sweetest flavor out of the Chinese and European (can't even eat this one), and grows taller (~100ft) and straighter than the Chinese making it more valuable for lumber. The wood is also rot resistant. I learned somewhere that it used to be that any Appalachian (NE US) landowner could become rich from these trees. The government brought the Chinese chestnut over in 1911 to combat the blight but it exacerbated it and nearly decimated the Americans. The root system is there however most trees die in the forest from blight in their early years H'F'.
Now there are ~95% American blight free hybrids that will Heaven Willing, restore this mighty fruit tree to dominate our forests in the coming years.
If you live in its native region and own land or would be willing to do some "sales efforts" in calling and asking parks and field owners to plant them there, you can email 1Allen Nichols <fajknichols.75@gmail.com> for saplings or seeds.
My coworker at GoTo after I gave this speech to my team a few months ago alluded to the verse Dvarim 32:17
יִזְבְּח֗וּ לַשֵּׁדִים֙ לֹ֣א אֱלֹ֔הַּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֹ֣א יְדָע֑וּם חֲדָשִׁים֙ מִקָּרֹ֣ב בָּ֔אוּ לֹ֥א שְׂעָר֖וּם אֲבֹתֵיכֶֽם׃
They sacrificed to demons, no-gods,
Gods they had never known,
New ones, who came but lately,
Who stirred not your forebears’ fears.
By saying "its a shame they brought something new over" and made this novelty that since the forest trees represent the kings and gods of the nations, one should not bring different species to different non native places like the verse "He has established the borders of nations that they shall not falter"
**the previous wicked baal habayit alon anava was telling everyone this person was a Chitzon (alien) or demon or not human somehow but who knows. Possibly he/Ash-medai was alluding that she was Jewish, as Moshe named his child Gersham 'Alien there (in this world)' and it was forbidden unrecognized relations (she was the significant other or something of a manager and it was mormon-run)
Actually I had to girdle and salt a beautiful Norway Maple someone planted years ago(?) in my front yard that provides cover and shade since its invasive here and has a unique feature that it poisons or suffocates the soil and prevents native species from growing.
(Don't worry I planted some native plums and a honeycrisp/fuji apple hybrid to take its place and remind people of the Song of the Apple about being a deer in the forest [when fleeing or forced among heathen] and not a boar or cricket etc. under a shade tree)

All that live in the sea are clean, except the sea-dog (lit. "the water dog") because it seeks refuge on dry land, the words of Rabbi Akiba. If one made vessels from what grows in the sea and joined to them anything that grows on land, even if only a thread or a cord, if it is susceptible to uncleanness, they are unclean.
-Vessels made solely from fish parts are not succeptive to impurity as long as they are not made with animal or plant threads/parts. Therefore if one is skilled and rich, fish leather sandals, clothes (HaShem clothed Adam and Chavah in leather after the sin), and maybe even a tent, etc would be the best material for all vessels.

When I was researching eating dirt I saw that apparently the Sages say in the Gemara that eating the dirt of Babylon is like eating ones ancestors. Therefore when we eat salt we fulfill the verse "You will eat your enemies" since at least some of salt is recycled from bodies.
Maybe why this is why the Sages teach in Shabbat Bavli that after anything ones eats he should finish with some salt (and afer drinking, water) and he/she will be fine. Since the concept in Torah is that the last part of a thing contains everything before it, its like we finishing, winning, by eating the zombie kingdom of evil

If you are a blonde Kohen clone like me then thats why the softballs are yellow (they introduce the fallen ones to the living women) and as for football it was our maternal grandfather playing "quarterback" trying to "offend" us until the point of blasphemy, the 'end zone' H'F'. I think our Kohen father that gives Jewish advice is the "middle line backer" "defending" the offensive vile kingdom
Therefore maybe since he likes football you can play smear/kill the queer with the pigskin airhead and give him some shadow hooks and uppercut combos to the kidney, stomach, and jaw/neckline and earlobe since they are really a ghost klan. As in the verses I think in YeshaYaHu "I will annul your covenant with death" and "there are portals open on high"
Don't forget to eat all their grass roots with YeshaYaHu 65:15 when you're done with your fun

If you were wondering what kind of cat I got its dark gray with yellow/green eyes, I think called an Archangel or Russian Blue. I personally would avoid the white cat or black cat (child and grandchild of white cats or something?) unless that's the only one available. Also if you are a male I heard maybe get a female and vice versa so they like you more

*** elderly ladies may want to skip
If you ever find yourself in a struggle against a Gibor H'F' and he/she is guarding their neck and you want to flatten them to break the arm like described above, the basic way to do this is by "chopping" with a closed fist as hard as you can at the elbow to which side you are on applying pressure. When the elbow gives, you should grab that wrist with your opposite hand, which should be wrapped around the body at their side and stomach. Wrist control is always very important. Now it will be easy to flatten him/her by wedging your knee/shin to make a sort of "stumbling block" on the side you are on. If you are on their left side, your left knee gets wedged and your right knee should knee them in the lower spine/bottom to push them over your left knee. Some balance is required to readjust your left knee after they fall and make sure they don't roll you over H'F'. But when they are flat it will be easy to choke them out or break their arm first if needed.
Therefore if you are on the bottom H'F' immediately get off your stomach and up to your knees, called getting to your "base", again always struggling for wrist control. If they are a regular person with no experience you can easily reverse them by reaching back with your elbow, hooking their elbow on the far side that they wrapped around you, and then rolling to that side. Otherwise stand up as soon as possible leaning your upper back into them and prying their hold on you off with your thumbs. As soon as it breaks, turn around by swinging your elbow at their earlobe.
**Also, when you are on your "Base" (knees), make sure your hands are outwards when using them to support yourself or if they chop hard they could seriously hurt your elbow H'F'.
If you are on your back you can intersect your feet behind their body and squeeze his/her sides as hard as you can with your knees, the "scissor lock", and strike from there.
At least knowing this is important to discourage people from trying you in the first place H'F'. Being a Gibor (warrior/mighty one) is the next step up from having one's blood poured out but still fearing H', called being an Enosh, and I imagine it may be hard to jump directly from Enosh to Eish.
**
Taking my cat's collars (she also had a flea one) off really helped strengthen her to stay in her body and hunt heathen souls that break in fyi
Just like a person taking their hat/Kippah, briefs/boxer briefs (instead regular boxers are decent), socks and shoes, (and probably bra - maybe one could hole punch it lol) off

Laws of Rosh Chodesh
Chabad
It seems the only Torah obligation is not to fast and to remember to do Kiddush Levanah in 7 days and the rest would be good to do if there is no electricity.

I recently saw Rabbi Adam Yitzhak post these novelties on the Chashmal (electrum) metals:
Gold (Zahav) represents our plea for divine bestowal [as in Zeh Hav; this to me], silver (Cesef) symbolizes our soul’s longings [Cosef], and copper (Nechoshet) signifies the ego we must transmute [as in Nachash, snake]. In darkness, we fulfill The Creator’s ultimate will and awaken our co-creative power.
I have once heard that silver (Chesed/Kindness) is actually greater than gold (Severity, judgements) since silver is less expensive and more readily available for everyone. By the same logic maybe we can say copper (Tiferet, beauty/balance/truth) is greater than both silver and gold since it is by far the least expensive and I think the Arizal puts the Sefirah of Tiferet 4th in front of Chesed. Copper does not tarnish as easily as silver and is stronger (despite silver being more conductive) and actually copper wires are powering our Messianic luxuries (lights, heat, hot water).
The sages in the Gemara teach that it is a great shame the snake conspired against us or it would have been an amazing servant. There is a lot to learn from the snake in being cunning especially when living among vicious beasts, for example the Halachot of when its permissible to lie like Yaakov did to Yitzhak to steal the birthright, and also how to kill an opponent greater than you, like how the snake (according to Bahir it was the Sat-n who chose the snake as his host since it was the most cunning) killed Adam. What did it do? It first took and "converted" Chayyah, his wife/soul mate to his own corrupted Da'at (knowledge, set opinions).
Therefore in our Kiruv efforts, since most fallen men are slaves to "sharing cakes (licentious people) with the birds" (The reason the Sat-n conspired according to Bahir was because of the verse of Adam ruling over the birds that can be interpreted as the angels) maybe if you target the women first, the "fruit" (fruits are scientifically the ovaries of the tree), the men will come after, like how Yaakov is "to grab the heel, uproot" and women are the last H of HaShem's name YH-VH and men are the V, and again the last part of something contains everything after. Therefore remember its not necessary to have relations with an idolatrous Yefet Toar, but you can teach her Torah and convince her to accept it that way if you don't want to marry her, or if you are a woman and want to see if he converts first before you would have to carry his child.
From Sefer Bahir
ימינך ה' נאדרי בכח, ואם שמח בחלקו טוב, ואם לאו ימינך ה' תרעץ אויב, מאי ימינך ה' תרעץ אויב, א"ל זה הזהב דכתיב לי הכסף ולי הזהב
He is saying that the silver, Kindness, is for those who do His will with pleasantness (happily) in his portion and its written about us "Your Right (Hand), HaShem, is adorned with power" and if not, about the gold its written "Your Right (Hand), HaShem, shatters the enemy"

From OU
Concerning the Mitzvah of Kiddush on Shabbat, Maimonides writes in his Sefer Hamitzvot (Aseh 155)
היא שצונו לקדש את השבת
ולאמר דברים בכניסתו וביציאתו
וקדוש היום ומעלתו והבדלו משאר הימים הקודמים ממנו והבאים אחריו,
We are commanded to make a verbal declaration when Shabbat enters and when it leaves We must mention the greatness and exalted character of this day and how it is distinct from the other days of the week
According to a portion of Zohar in Chok LeYisrael, very severe negative things happen when people break Melachot after Shabbat without first reciting the Shema (and possibly remembrance of the Exodus) at least, and then doing the Havdalah, the ending sanctification of Shabbat where we bless on the juice/wine, light of a candle fire, and incense and then the final sanctification blessing before drinking the juice and extinguishing the flame with the remainder onto a plate or bowl.
Here is an article from Chabad
It seems the only necessary things to say are the three blessings on the juice, fire, and incense, and then this final "goodbye" blessing to "Shabbat" and the extra soul we merit during it while observing:
Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who makes a distinction between sacred and mundane, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the Seventh Day and the six workdays. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who makes a distinction between sacred and mundane.

Since Pesach is in almost 2 weeks one needs to either plan to Kasher his/her vessels or buy new ones (from the Chametz/Leavening in them). There is an electric griddle on Amazon (you can cover it in foil for Shabbat) for $16 and a 6 quart pot for $10. Metal spoons forks and knives are $1 ea at Walmart or a dollar store.
The night before Erev Pesach one needs to search the house for all leavening and put it in a paper bag to be burned in the morning before Pesach.



Here is an article from OU about how to Kasher your Kitchen if you don't want to buy new vessels
Other than the sink (explained in the article) one would just need to clean and cover the counters/stove with foil or plastic
Rambam says in Hilchot Matzah 7:5
כָּל מִי שֶׁלֹּא אָמַר שְׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים אֵלּוּ בְּלֵיל חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לֹא יָצָא יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ וְאֵלּוּ הֵן. פֶּסַח מַצָּה וּמָרוֹר. פֶּסַח עַל שׁוּם שֶׁפָּסַח הַמָּקוֹם עַל בָּתֵּי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְּמִצְרַיִם שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות יב כז) "וַאֲמַרְתֶּם זֶבַח פֶּסַח הוּא לַה'" וְגוֹ'. מָרוֹר עַל שׁוּם שֶׁמֵּרְרוּ הַמִּצְרִיִּים אֶת חַיֵּי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְּמִצְרַיִם. מַצָּה עַל שֵׁם שֶׁנִּגְאֲלוּ. וּדְבָרִים הָאֵלּוּ כֻּלָּן נִקְרָאִין הַגָּדָה:
Whoever does not mention these three matters on the night of the fifteenth has not fulfilled his obligation. They are: the Paschal sacrifice, matzah, and maror.
The Paschal sacrifice: [It is eaten] because the Omnipresent passed over the houses of our ancestors in Egypt as [Exodus 12:27] states: "And you shall say: 'It is the Paschal sacrifice to God.'
The bitter herbs: [They are eaten] because the Egyptians embittered the lives of our ancestors in Egypt.
The matzah: [It is eaten] because of the redemption. These statements are all referred to as the Haggadah.
He says above this should be done in question-and-answer format even if one is by him/herself. Also one should be reclining [to the left for digestion] during the meal like the manner of freed men. One needs to eat only eat about 1.5 oz of Matzah (maybe even less, an olive size according to Rambam). The meat offering isn't eaten today (yet) but I see there is a $6 customary bone on Kosh.com coming soon. As for the other requirement of bitter herbs, Chabad says this:
The Mishnah lists five herbs that fit the bill.8 There is some discussion as to how to translate the Hebrew/Aramaic words of the Mishnah,9 but it is generally accepted that romaine lettuce, horseradish and endives (escarole) are included in the list.10 The Chabad custom is to use romaine lettuce and horseradish together.11
Be careful because that Mishnah, Pesachim 2:6 says that they cannot be pickled like a lot of horseradishes are.
Pesachim 2:6:
וְאֵלּוּ יְרָקוֹת שֶׁאָדָם יוֹצֵא בָהֶן יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח, בַּחֲזֶרֶת וּבְעֻלָשִׁין וּבְתַמְכָא וּבְחַרְחֲבִינָה וּבְמָרוֹר. יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶן בֵּין לַחִין בֵּין יְבֵשִׁין, אֲבָל לֹא כְבוּשִׁין וְלֹא שְׁלוּקִין וְלֹא מְבֻשָּׁלִין. וּמִצְטָרְפִין לְכַזָּיִת. וְיוֹצְאִין בַּקֶּלַח שֶׁלָּהֶן, וּבִדְמַאי, וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁנִּטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ, וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ:
And these are the vegetables with which a person can fulfill his obligation to eat bitter herbs on Passover: One can fulfill his obligation with ḥazeret, with chervil [tamkha], and with field eryngo [ḥarḥavina], and with endives [olashin], and with maror. One fulfills his obligation with them whether they are fresh or whether they are dry. However, one does not fulfill his obligation if they are pickled in water or vinegar, nor if they are over-boiled [shaluk] in hot water, nor if they are boiled [mevushal]. The mishna adds: And all these different types of vegetables join together to the measure of an olive-bulk.
You can get 5 pounds of Yehudah Matzah's on Ebay for ~$27 or Amazon for ~$22 with Prime.
Also one should
Other than that its just observing the two days of Yom Tov at the beginning and end and not eating any leavening during that week.
For the sink one can clean it and cover it in foil and use cold water

Although many opinions argue with Rambam about him saying sorcery is not real and all lies and a conspiracy from the generation of Enosh, he is at least right in that it is all lies and this is why every person you will find in your day-to-day is a sick savage. In the words of Mishnah Yadayim 1, if you have your cup out for animal spit, (the Sat-n, Gog, or another wizard, a giant, or the evil wizard alon, or any idolator or even an angel actually,) that water is invalid for purifying, "cleaning" your hands, your Torah, as its written in Dvarim: "AyshDat Mimino" 'a FireLaw from His Right Hand'. However if it comes to you (maybe only if you're grounded), and spits in your "ground water", as in the verse in Bamidbar/Numbers 22:33
הִנֵּ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ יָצָ֣אתִי לְשָׂטָ֔ן כִּֽי־יָרַ֥ט הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּֽי׃
"Indeed, I arise to oppose (lit. lesatan [le is a prefix meaning 'to']), indeed obnoxious is the way before/opposite me."
As for people being able to fly and teleport etc. this can be explained scientifically, for example the movie "the Matrix" where we can actually be plugged into nearly identical fake universes. It is said that "Adam was as big as the whole world" and that the generations got and continue to get increasingly spiritually smaller from Adam. Therefore it is possible and likely all of the technologies we have today existed for the G-d forsaken wicked elite class while the rest of society lived in mud houses.
Alternatively according to YU the Vilna Gaon says Rambam was wrong about this and influenced by the philosophers of his time. In this case, sorcery works by commanding demons that are invisible to the eye to do things for you like carry you to make it appear like you're flying H'F'. The demons were created after the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, I would propose as an expression of HaShem's wrath.
Alternatively they provide consolation, as the song of purgatory (the streets) from Perek Shira is
גֵּיהִנֹּם אוֹמֵר. כִּי הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא טוֹב: (תהילים קז ט)
Gehinnom is saying: “For he has satisfied the thirsting soul, and has filled the hungry soul with good.”
witches love "glitching/hacking" creation either by succumbing to the children of Enosh and paying them however they do or by demon incantations H'F'. Think of the famous "heeheehee" witch laugh. About this its written
Mishlei 31:6
תְּנוּ־שֵׁכָ֥ר לְאוֹבֵ֑ד וְ֝יַ֗יִן לְמָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ׃
Give strong drink to the hapless
And wine to the embittered.
-The Judaica Press's translation of Rashi:
"to the one who is perishing To him who will ultimately perish—to the wicked. to those of bitter soul Who suffer pain because of their poverty and their mourning. To give them pleasure in this world, so that they receive the reward for the precepts they kept, in this world, [leaving them with nothing in the hereafter.]"
Remember that alcohol (sheichar) is a metaphor for lies (sheker) therefore they are in the terminology of the Arizal like lesbian women masturbating (even the male wizards as the sages teach on the verse "You shall not suffer a witch to live" that wizards are included by the rule of 'how much more so' since women are more inclined to such things)
Alternatively some people succumb to the other side due to their "thirst" to have relations in a forbidden way or marry "Shaynah/Shane" (Teeth/sleep (death) - idolators that are cursing you but you turn a blind eye) H'F' and HaShem lets you have your grass bopping vile orgy and take your reward before ceasing to be.
Berachot 6a
תַּנְיָא, אַבָּא בִּנְיָמִין אוֹמֵר: אִלְמָלֵי נִתְּנָה רְשׁוּת לָעַיִן לִרְאוֹת — אֵין כׇּל בְּרִיָּה יְכוֹלָה לַעֲמוֹד מִפְּנֵי הַמַּזִּיקִין.
In another baraita it was taught that Abba Binyamin says: If the eye was given permission to see, no creature would be able to withstand the abundance and ubiquity of the demons and continue to live unaffected by them.
אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: אִינְהוּ נְפִישִׁי מִינַּן, וְקָיְימִי עֲלַן כִּי כִּסְלָא לְאוּגְיָא.
Similarly, Abaye said: They are more numerous than we are and they stand over us like mounds of earth surrounding a pit.
אָמַר רַב הוּנָא: כֹּל חַד וְחַד מִינַּן, אַלְפָא מִשְּׂמָאלֵיהּ וּרְבַבְתָּא מִיַּמִּינֵיהּ.
Rav Huna said: Each and every one of us has a thousand demons to his left and ten thousand to his right. [G-d protects man from these demons, as it says in the verse: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; they will not approach you” (Psalms 91:7).]
Another face on
Bamidbar/Numbers 22:33
הִנֵּ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ יָצָ֣אתִי לְשָׂטָ֔ן כִּֽי־יָרַ֥ט הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּֽי׃
"Behold, I arise to oppose [you Sat-n worshippers]. Indeed [you have made] the way obnoxious before me."

If you are complaining that "the Sukkah" (the World, your Dwelling Place - HaShem) is very hot in these times, you should be grateful for the incessant vomit from idolators
Dvarim 30:14
כִּֽי־קָר֥וֹב אֵלֶ֛יךָ הַדָּבָ֖ר מְאֹ֑ד בְּפִ֥יךָ וּבִֽלְבָבְךָ֖ לַעֲשֹׂתֽוֹ׃
Indeed this Word is very close to you, in your mouth and heart to do It.
Instead, read Ci (indeed/yes) as Ki with a Kuf and Alef (puke).
"Puke (idolators making fun of you) is very close to you, [the thing] in your mouth and heart [that you wanted] to do."
I once heard from a Sephardic native Israeli in Tzfat that men on a high level would thank someone for spiritually "puking" on them as HaShem would have only enabled them to in order to point out a defect or provide an instruction for Service in another matter.
Dvarim:
"Indeed the Adam (remember, the highest title) is a tree in a field"
implying no shade/cover. Single trees in a field in full sun and full access to spread its roots get much comparatively larger to forest and orchard counterparts.
In the same vein, Tehillim 136:1 (Kuf Chai x2 - for a very holy life)
הוֹד֣וּ לַיהֹוָ֣ה כִּי־ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
Praise the LORD; for He is good,
His steadfast love is eternal.
Alt: Acknowledge HaShem, [for] the puke is good. The puke is for (to merit) eternal kindness

Nissan 3
After figuring out the parable of football and what my clones and my grandfathers were/are doing, I should mention that I believe my grandfather was particularly righteous and even hides the fact that his mother was Jewish (which has been alluded to). For example, when I was young he warned me against rap music and gangster culture, liberalism, and warned me that he was a mason and vile. So all things considered I think I was very fortunate that the "offense" was wearing clothes of Esav and acting like the 0-16 lions to save my soul from "ending" thank G-d.

Tip: You can clip the wire of a grounding rod ($25.50 on ebay [link]) to a copper plumbing pipe and use it as a staff/body pillow to have great grounding anywhere in your house and save yourself from electrical affliction while still enjoying sunlight and nature.

Although people don't wear Tefillin all day any more, it is still a great idea since the arm box should ideally go on the left arm (even for ambidextrous people) and if you are left handed you should work on becoming right handed for the electrical-anatomical benefits. Leather is less conductive than human skin and since authentic Torah is in the boxes, when the kingdom of Evil shocks us H'F' they are also inciting more divine wrath against them so we are more protected.
However one needs to be careful not to pass gas without first removing the head box and displacing the arm box if it is urgent and he can't remove them in time (if I remember correctly). This applies to bottom gas, not belching, but one should still cover the mouth with the hand.
Also one needs to avoid idle conversation (business talks are allowed)
Here is a Halachepedia article for more understanding, but be sure to hover over the notes to see the source and double check them and remember Rambam takes precedence unless he did not comment on a particular detail.
Also that you can cast off the "Rabbinic fences" as needed but make sure there is no doubt that it is not a Torah Mitzvah
--
To clarify, I once made the novelty on "The Heavens are the Heavens to HaShem, and the Earth He gave (Natan) to the children of men"
The Earth is to Natan - to apportion to the children of men as in Yaakov's Blessing at the end of Bereisheit on Gad, that Shiloh will raid the heels and divide the Shallal (spoils).
Also I made the novelty on the rooster's call that it may be ideal for a King to have 7 wives (for his wars), however the High Priest has to only take one virgin maiden as a wife.
Also Rambam says the Messianic King is entitled to 1/13 of the conquered world, but he also says the High Priest has to stay in a chamber in the Beit Hamikdash all day and go to his house in YiruShalayim when he is not working.
Another point is that Rambam says its forbidden for the king to even have money, he gives it all to the Treasury when he becomes king.
Also its written that "a king shall not increase in horses" (for his calvary) so a king can only acquire such possessions as needed (by the rule of Gezeirah Shavah - "Alike Decree." For example today since horses aren't used it would be regarding tanks/ships/drones etc)

Important times to be aware of "treacherous fish harpoons/wing (love/fear of H') spearing tazers (from Isaiah 18:1)
-Using the restroom for a solid waste. I definitely recommend a bidet or showering if not (also remember toilet paper is not the best option, rather a stone, branch, or left hand). I think one opinion in the Gemara is that there is no cleanliness without water. Also when I bury my waste I never get the witch dirt and taser after.
Also any time a witch does something vile to us H'F' like flick boogers or any other of their vile gag toys. Even if you really could care less be prepared for a tazer to make you feel like its the worst thing that ever happened to you H'F' lol
-Any time you see an image of a person/body or an actual person lift their hand to you or even pass by someone and they aren't blessing (sometimes they even lie about their blessings). Especially if they point or say a curse word. Or if an animal is being spiritually stolen
-When you think you may have broken a Halacha and don't look it up, ask someone, or give a quick repentance: "please forgive me for [this specific thing]"
-When you lose something (from them 'treacherously winging it' away with their drones) especially if your house is messy, expect a tazer to make you feel like its a much bigger deal than it is
During any of these times you should immediately be ready for a battle with a boar pack/cricket swarm and take your anger they send at you out on their ear lobe as its written in Isaiah 63
"My wrath was my aid".
If they are sat-n people a good spot would be where one puts Tefillin, on the soft spot of the head. If gog people the front of the neck is the softest. Also I think it makes sense that just as one can purify with props, as long as a prop is made of wood, metal/stone, or water/fruit and at least a Tefach handbreadth, and 1.5 eggs in volume like like a staff/cane or baseball bat, one could intend to use it to plow heathen when they harden themselves against Us.
Alternatively if you do nothing but act like a perfect apple tree, sometimes they still come at us whenever we enter new areas after being in one place for awhile (or a random fresh fall will fall on you out of nowhere H'F'), even the downstairs of the house just since they are vicious beasts, or plowed trees, and new heathen want to/are forced to sink their teeth into us H'F' and may Heaven quickly and eternally destroy all such people (except the plowed fruits/vegetables, they can repent or have a roll).
--
Although one can get away with littering in my opinion one should make a judgement on how biodegradable the thing is, as in whether its just paper and ink or if there is plastic and metal. If there is no gloss and the ink isn't thick, it will actually likely benefit the environment as compost or bird nesting.
If the latter, one would be liable for "plant abuse" as it damages the ecosystem or an animal could swallow it and actually I have learned before from AskNoah (who usually quoted Rambam) that it is forbidden to be destructive for no reason like another definition of "substance abuse" or in this case more "material abuse"

Nissan 5
I forgot one of the most important times to be aware of wing spears - during prayer, especially excessive or unnecessary prayers. I said about a week ago about Asher Yatzar after the restroom but actually I ate a wing spear doing that H'F' so I stopped. This is also why I do the bare minimum obligations for prayer as this tazer is severe and appears instantly.
--
After thinking about it for awhile I think the added fake religion instituted by a man of not eating chicken and cheese is part of the conspiracy on me. First of all please do not recite "Ashrei" in order as prayer (Psalm 145?) where HaShem's House is broken up by excluding one letter - N. About this its written in the Tehillim "The stone that the builders scorned - it was the head cornerstone" and "If HaShem will not build the house, in vain do the people build in it."
Also I mentioned about Zugot (pairs) and that the only applicable foods are eggs (chicken), cucumbers, and nuts (reminiscent of the story of Aharon's staff growing ripe almonds) [also one more that has been forgotten so one should always be careful]
Therefore since I am associated with the chicken/rooster since the chicken sings NTN is [lit. "He gives"] food to all flesh, and milk/dairy represents Chesed-Kindness, I implore you to please not refrain from cooking chicken or any Kosher bird and milk any time you desire it.
It seems obvious to me that the wise Jewish men who still have the tradition know that Natan is a potential name of the Mashiach. The day after I was saved from being mangled falling off that cliff B'H' I ordered a shnitzel and while I was waiting the Sefardic Jews in and running the shop started calling "Natan?" to see if that was my name. However since the "house owner" was the head snake of Yehudah for the past ~2500+ years, you see that I was conspired against as in the words of Rabbi Yehudah in the Mishnah in Eruvin 4:5,
וּמוֹדֶה רַבִּי יְהוּדָה שֶׁאִם בֵּרֵר לוֹ, שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לַחֲזֹר בּוֹ:
he was trying to choose the crown for himself but was unable because of the pig in him.
By the way Rambam says one should always eat in his house (if possible) as to not to incur contempt (I was just picking it up there and taking it back to my room in the evil snake king's hotel lol)
since wicked people hate eating and have trouble sleeping and will evil eye us and play vile "sports" (as in throw things on our food like scoring a goal or hoop) for enjoying food in public H'F'.

Someone posted a picture of a grasshopper hole in their garden in the gardening subreddit with massive black grasshoppers. Someone commented that they were more like "stormhoopers", like how the gog people are all stretched and steroided out and fight for the kingdom of evil and many are clones (its a star wars clone wars reference if you are pure and clueless) and most worship basketball and other sports.
I have been laughing about it since and wanted to share
The wisdom from it: people were saying to stomp on them all before they spawn/breed and devour his whole field. Take note and be wise kings and queens and remember the second song of the Cat:

And when the cat catches it [the mouse], the cat says, “I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them, and I did not return until they were destroyed.”
The Israelites were originally punished for not completely destroying the Caananite nations upon occupying the Land and growing complacent. That's why the wars with the surrounding nations continued on throughout the entire Tanakh.

Another conspiracy in modern day Judaism I believe is the fact that many Rabbis outright prohibit eating certain foods like mulberries and blackberries due to bug concerns.
Bereisheit 1:29
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים הִנֵּה֩ נָתַ֨תִּי לָכֶ֜ם אֶת־כׇּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב ׀ זֹרֵ֣עַ זֶ֗רַע אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י כׇל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וְאֶת־כׇּל־הָעֵ֛ץ אֲשֶׁר־בּ֥וֹ פְרִי־עֵ֖ץ זֹרֵ֣עַ זָ֑רַע לָכֶ֥ם יִֽהְיֶ֖ה לְאׇכְלָֽה׃
And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, on which is the fruit yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
The vast majority of Jewish people are currently exiled to the NE US where mulberries, blackberries and many other berries are native. These are one of the only "perfect" fruits with no peel or pit, and I once posted about how their name, Tuthim, has a Taf and a Thaf, Metaphors for perfect beauty and perfect ugliness and how it can be novelized "Tot", to get under, like how one uproots an evil plant like a thistle (side note, the thistle is also a metaphor for Shechem according to the Midrash).
Nevertheless they do have a point about bug concerns but obviously there has to be a simple sensible method to remove them in HaShem's Perfect Creation. However this quest is currently beyond me for now as I never finished my science degree and remember the Prophet tells us not to rely on a master..
Also I think Mulberries are the largest (physically) sized trees with perfect fruit, representing quite an epic and strong Torah scholar. They are also one of the most powerfully sweet and delicious foods if you have ever picked a native one off a tree or had a freshly fallen one (when you were unaware of bug concerns or were a gentile before 'Shabbat' started)
I have heard before that in the Messianic era, all trees will be fruit trees so maybe one way to start this is to replace the shady fruitless elms and tulip trees with purple mulberries and persimmons in Appalachia (just a thought, this may have some unforeseen negatives)

The American conspiracy: Back when we had American Chestnuts, the Americans had the Salem Witch Trials - how awesome is that?
I found a school near me called Westmont that has tons of acres of grass fields. I asked if I could plant 2 Am. chestnuts and was told no for weak safety concerns like someone stepping on a chestnut. I said there is a ton of space and and we could erect a small warning fence, and it would serve as a great educational feature not even considering the environmental benefits and was ignored.
He probably thinks it will attract students that are mighty like the chestnut with a prickly peel that will go out like Shaul HaMelech or Shimshon against the Philistines.
Therefore the gov probably intentionally decimated our dear chestnuts with the blight (they used to occupy 1/3 to 1/4 of the forests) to weaken us and eventually have their way with us H'F'! May they soon all be eternally extinguished and may every such person suffer incomprehensible tortures as its written in Mishlei "Give her of the fruit of her hands" now please at least think "Amen!"

1 Shmuel 1:9-11
וַתָּ֣קׇם חַנָּ֔ה אַחֲרֵ֛י אׇכְלָ֥הֿ בְשִׁלֹ֖ה וְאַחֲרֵ֣י שָׁתֹ֑ה וְעֵלִ֣י הַכֹּהֵ֗ן יֹשֵׁב֙ עַל־הַכִּסֵּ֔א עַל־מְזוּזַ֖ת הֵיכַ֥ל יְהֹוָֽה׃
After they had eaten and drunk at Shiloh, Hannah rose. The priest Eli was sitting on the seat near the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.—
וְהִ֖יא מָ֣רַת נָ֑פֶשׁ וַתִּתְפַּלֵּ֥ל עַל־יְהֹוָ֖ה וּבָכֹ֥ה תִבְכֶּֽה׃
In her wretchedness, she prayed to the LORD, weeping all the while.
וַתִּדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר וַתֹּאמַ֗ר יְהֹוָ֨ה צְבָא֜וֹת אִם־רָאֹ֥ה תִרְאֶ֣ה ׀ בׇּעֳנִ֣י אֲמָתֶ֗ךָ וּזְכַרְתַּ֙נִי֙ וְלֹא־תִשְׁכַּ֣ח אֶת־אֲמָתֶ֔ךָ וְנָתַתָּ֥ה לַאֲמָתְךָ֖ זֶ֣רַע אֲנָשִׁ֑ים וּנְתַתִּ֤יו לַֽיהֹוָה֙ כׇּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו וּמוֹרָ֖ה לֹא־יַעֲלֶ֥ה עַל־רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
And she made this vow: “O LORD of Hosts, if You will look upon the suffering of Your maidservant and will remember me and not forget Your maidservant, and if You will grant Your maidservant a male child, I will dedicate him to the LORD for all the days of his life; and no razor shall ever touch his head.”
If one probes a little, he/she can see the deeper story alluded to by the Hebrew.
תָּ֣קׇם חַנָּ֔ה אַחֲרֵ֛י אׇכְלָ֥הֿ בְשִׁלֹ֖ה וְאַחֲרֵ֣י שָׁתֹ֑ה
Chanah rose after (realizing everyone or almost everyone she knew) is eating Vet (metaphor for folly vowelized with Sh'va, Gevurah where Evil exists) Shiloh (name of Mashiach, as in mocking HaShem and His anointed) and after they drank (remember Mishlei says alcohol is for the desolate wicked to occupy themselves happily and enjoy the reward for their good before HaShem snuffs their existences forever. Also alcohol is a metaphor for lies, as in they are all speaking false Lashon Hara on the priestly house on HaShem's throne - וְעֵלִ֣י הַכֹּהֵ֗ן יֹשֵׁב֙ עַל־הַכִּסֵּ֔א eand Ayli [lit. upon me, alt. My G-d] the Priest was sitting upon the Throne)
The word מחנה Machaneh, camp, as in one's war encampment, can be novelized MiChanah, "from Chanah", as in the best Yefet Toar on the battlefield to win as a wife are the ones that make "bread" of themselves as in Perek Shira
שִׁבֹּלֶת חִטִּים אוֹמֶרֶת. שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יי (תהילים קל א)
The Sheaves of Wheat are saying (Psalm 130:1), “A song of ascents: Out of the depths have I cried to you, YH-VH.”
and call out to and serve Heaven on their own accord without going through the Yefet Toar 30 days to 1 year procedure to convert them.
Chanah can also be noveled "Chet Ana" - "Marriage, Oh I pray!" (the letter Chet is a metaphor for a Chuppah, a marriage canopy) as in HaShem is praying for us to marry such a valiant woman
Also the command to love a convert is repeated and emphasized many more times in Torah than the command to love one's native Jewish family. One reason is since converts are easily looked down upon since most don't know as much Torah from not having such an upbringing and community, and they have a harder history making it easier to revert to sins H'F'
I have also heard before, maybe from Rabbi Michael Skobac, that converts are more precious than native born Jews.
Why?
Although it is written about the acceptance of the Torah that the Jewish people enthusiastically said "We will do [all of the Torah obligations immediately] and we will hear [afterwards we will seek to understand the reasonings since we trust that they are all logical and perfect], this is in regards to the Written Law.
To accept the Oral Law, HaShem had to hold Mount Sinai over the people and threaten to bury them under it. Converts however (at least before 'Shabbat') came and accepted on their own accord.
-
I have been trying to probe the Halacha that when a Cohen takes a Yefet Toar he has to send her out of his house afterwards since she is a convert and they cannot marry.
It comes from Yevamot 6:5
כֹּהֵן הֶדְיוֹט לֹא יִשָּׂא אַיְלוֹנִית, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יֶשׁ לוֹ אִשָּׁה וּבָנִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ אִשָּׁה וּבָנִים, לֹא יִשָּׂא אַיְלוֹנִית, שֶׁהִיא זוֹנָה הָאֲמוּרָה בַתּוֹרָה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין זוֹנָה אֶלָּא גִיּוֹרֶת וּמְשֻׁחְרֶרֶת וְשֶׁנִּבְעֲלָה בְעִילַת זְנוּת:
An ordinary priest shall not marry a woman incapable of procreation, unless he already has a wife or children. Rabbi Judah said: even though he has a wife and children he shall not marry a woman incapable of procreation, since she is a zonah, as mentioned in the Torah. But the Sages said: the term zonah implies only a female convert, freed slavewoman and one who has been subjected to illicit intercourse.
We cannot agree with Rabbi Yehudah because one of the proofs of the Sages' opinion is from YechezkEl 44:22
וְאַלְמָנָה֙ וּגְרוּשָׁ֔ה לֹא־יִקְח֥וּ לָהֶ֖ם לְנָשִׁ֑ים כִּ֣י אִם־בְּתוּלֹ֗ת מִזֶּ֙רַע֙ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְהָֽאַלְמָנָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּֽהְיֶ֣ה אַלְמָנָ֔ה מִכֹּהֵ֖ן יִקָּֽחוּ׃
They shall not marry widows or divorced women of the stock of the House of Israel, but only virgins; of the stock of the House of Israel, or they may marry widows who are widows of priests.
Although I saw one wise Rabbi argue that converts are considered from the seed of Avraham and are considered new born babies after conversion, there is still a concept of some of the specific nations retaining their "seed" identities even after converting. For example, Kiddushin 74b
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד גֵּר עַמּוֹנִי וּמוֹאָבִי, מִצְרִי וַאֲדוֹמִי, כּוּתִי וְנָתִין, חָלָל וּמַמְזֵר שֶׁבָּאוּ עַל הַכֹּהֶנֶת וְעַל הַלְוִיָּה וְעַל בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל – [פְּסָלוּהָ]. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר: כֹּל שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ פָּסוּל – פּוֹסֵל, וְכֹל שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ פָּסוּל – אֵינוֹ פּוֹסֵל. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר:
The Sages taught (Tosefta, Yevamot 8:1): A boy nine years and one day old, whose sexual intercourse is considered an act of intercourse with regard to sexual transgressions, who was an Ammonite or Moabite convert, or an Egyptian or Edomite convert, or a Samaritan, or a Gibeonite, a ḥalal, or a mamzer, and who engaged in sexual intercourse with the daughter of a priest, or the daughter of a Levite, or an Israelite woman, has thereby disqualified her from the priesthood. Rabbi Yosei says: Anyone whose offspring is unfit to marry a priest disqualifies a woman with whom he engages in intercourse from marrying a priest; and anyone whose offspring is not unfit does not disqualify her.
**As a side note elsewhere the sages teach that one of the powerful kings of the nations mixed all of the nations' seed identities together. For example, Europe was originally the inheritance of Yefet [according to Artscroll Stone Edition Chumash], and then Esav (Rome/Christianity) who descended from Shem [his portion was Asia including the Middle East, Israel. That's why its written "The Caananite was Gibor, Mighty in the Land", the Chamites, who were apportioned Africa, conquered it from the Shemites and that's why HaShem allowed Israel to reconquer the Land with Yehoshua Bin Nun according to Ohr HaChaim I think. Anyway Rome conquered nearly all of Yefet's Europe and definitely influenced/mixed with all of it.
However, when a person has a Jewish father and non Jewish mother they are said to have "Zera Yisrael", Seeds of Israel, the same words used in YechezkEl (also they were more encouraged to convert). Therefore it would only make sense in my opinion for a Kohen to marry a convert like the opinion of Rabbi Yehudah that she be a true virgin (not a spiritual new born) and have a Jewish father or possibly close ancestor(?), but this is speculation and clearly I would not want to battle our Rambam here without pollen.
Another factor is that he would have to convert her before having relations since they wouldn't be able to marry until she converts, and after relations she would no longer be a virgin.
(***elderly sensitive people maybe look away - it takes a few "pounds of the hammer" to shatter their spiritual rock [as in hardened peel against Heaven] and to accept Us from my experience.
Obviously one should not be aggressive at all in relations but the sages teach to take lessons from the rooster and be extremely sweet and gentle. Also before a battle and territory is won, Rambam says its forbidden to be sharp like a palm leaf [as in to aggressively convince or force one.])
Since people seem interested, according to the Stone Edition Chumash by Rabbi Natan Scherman (Ox Heaven-bread), Shem was the greatest of Noach's three sons and was apportioned the Priesthood and Divine Mission of Redemption that started with Adam. Yefet was second, as he also helped cover Noach's nakedness after Cham's sin (Although according to Ohr HaChaim, Cham is second in intelligence). Yefet was blessed with beauty and sensitivity (think of Swedish and Danish people) and its written that "Yefet will dwell in the tents of Shem." The Sages teach one way this was fulfilled was in the Beit Hamikdash when one of Yefet's more beautiful languages (I think it was Greek) were used on a vessel (maybe the charity box?). Cham was blessed with strength (Black athletes disproportionately dominated pro sports). Cham also means "warm" or "hot" and all who brave the world know how charismatic, "warm", African descended people can be and also how "hot" as in severe as well. The whole draw of (t)rap music was the 'hot', fun beat.
Although on one hand I said all the nations were mixed and on the other I gave modern day examples, consider that the Sefirah of Tiferet, Truth/Beauty/Balance-Copper is represented by the body between the two hands (Kindness-Silver and Severity-Gold) and that copper is the "hardest" metal of the 3. The true Halacha and Knowledge of Creation is 'hard' to attain at first but is extremely beautiful and increases in beauty over time. When copper gets old and changes colors like the statue of liberty did, it becomes less conductive of electricity (Divine Wrath), as in you become more insulated from the "children of demons" that fly on high (Job) and wicked people that are "all kindlers of fires" (Isaiah?) that surreptitiously taze us like snakes or treacherous double-shady crickets (cricket is TzLTzL, and shadow/shade is TzL) H'F'!!!
Copper is also basically free as anyone could walk around a city and find some pennies (I think 1984 and before are mostly copper and even new pennies have a little) and stores used to have take-or-leave-a-penny bins until the upright Edomites started getting off to '(t)rap' music and things became crazy here after all of those evil words, "spell"igs, being uttered with the mouth, the Holy of Holies.
--
Another consideration. My father and old boss he introduced me to named Aharon (both of the sat-n houses) used to lie coins on the ground around the house (including bathroom) and store. I thought it was them blaspheming H'F' since HaShem's name in English is written on them "In G-d We Trust". However I realized its to deter the children of the kings whose faces are imprinted in 3D on them to electrocute the floor that has a picture of their great grand daddies on it.
One is not Halachically obligated to respect coins even though names of HaShem even in other languages are considered Torah (it is probably still pious to be semi-considerate unless you are defending yourself in this way) since it's a heathen trap to taze us H'F' for being negligent with money and not treating it with the obligatory respect of Torah, like even having them rest with the tails side up. (One should always be careful when writing out a name of HaShem because of this, or any recognizable words of Torah)
--
If you're concerned about heathen making fun of and embarrassing you with films, consider that according to Rashi on the Prophecies, it is possible only 1/10th of humanity will be left after things are all said and done (side note: consider how important it is to strengthen yourself and detach from being around people who are not bulls as things inevitably get grassy and evil words slip and even witch-fingers H'F'), and I think in the book of Isaiah "Their webs will not become a garment" - we will destroy all embarrassing videos that really were them trapping and stumbling us H'F' and all of the evil remembrances (plagues) of the living will be destroyed (most of the videos are fake edits anyway - the reason I only write and don't speak or make videos of me). Here is a free text-to-speech that you can highlight chunks of this site and press ctrl+c and replace the words in there with ctrl+v (or right clicking, copy, then paste).
Also putting it in the links list at the top
Adam's voice is more masculine than mine but I think it's fitting for my message lol. There are others online but that was the most simple I was able to quickly find. Amazon has one but it wanted me to make an account. For some reason my image blocker isn't working on the AI faces but if you want you can put a sticky note over them or something or google another or try Amazon's. Or grow some teeth.
As for the 1/10th remaining concept from Rashi, think of the Edomites good old dusty game "musical chairs" where they get up and dance, a metaphor for acting lewd, until the sat-ns' gameshow, "the music" stops, when they all take a seat (at Yeshivah [Yeshivah means "to sit/dwell in Her"]). At the end there is only one left out of ten or so
Put yourself in "HaShem's Shoes" - would you want to plant a bunch of musical chairs players next to you in your Eternal Garden or just uproot and forget them and celebrate your devout ones?
If you were playing musical chairs you need to get as far away from every mind of every idolator you can and scream and cry to The Creator for your existence
On the positive side, negatives prophecies don't need to come true as they are meant to make people repent. An example is the story of Yonah that fled from giving HaShem's prophecy to a gentile city (I think called Ninveh) since he didn't want them to repent. They ended up repenting and not being destroyed. I have heard before from Rabbi Zalman Weiss (he deemed me insane unfortunately) that their ruler was the original Pharaoh from the plagued Egypt and he had learned his lesson.

These are the inspirational words of Mussar that the Kohen Gadol is obligated to say to his soldiers before they enter battle:
Dvarim 20:1-4
כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֨א לַמִּלְחָמָ֜ה עַל־אֹיְבֶ֗ךָ וְֽרָאִ֜יתָ ס֤וּס וָרֶ֙כֶב֙ עַ֚ם רַ֣ב מִמְּךָ֔ לֹ֥א תִירָ֖א מֵהֶ֑ם כִּֽי־יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ הַמַּֽעַלְךָ֖ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
When you [an Israelite warrior] come forth to the battlefield against your enemies, and see horses and chariots—people larger than you—have no fear of them, for your God יהוה, who brought you from the land of Egypt, is with you.
וְהָיָ֕ה כְּקָֽרׇבְכֶ֖ם אֶל־הַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְנִגַּ֥שׁ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְדִבֶּ֥ר אֶל־הָעָֽם׃
Before you join battle, the priest shall come forward and address the troops.
וְאָמַ֤ר אֲלֵהֶם֙ שְׁמַ֣ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַתֶּ֨ם קְרֵבִ֥ים הַיּ֛וֹם לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה עַל־אֹיְבֵיכֶ֑ם אַל־יֵרַ֣ךְ לְבַבְכֶ֗ם אַל־תִּֽירְא֧וּ וְאַֽל־תַּחְפְּז֛וּ וְאַל־תַּֽעַרְצ֖וּ מִפְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
He shall say to them, “Hear, O Israel! You are about to join battle with your enemy. Let not your heart falter. Do not be in fear, or in panic, or in dread of them.
כִּ֚י יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם הַהֹלֵ֖ךְ עִמָּכֶ֑ם לְהִלָּחֵ֥ם לָכֶ֛ם עִם־אֹיְבֵיכֶ֖ם לְהוֹשִׁ֥יעַ אֶתְכֶֽם׃
For it is your God יהוה who marches with you to do battle for you against your enemy, to bring you victory.”
-
Isaiah 3:13
נִצָּ֥ב לָרִ֖יב יְהֹוָ֑ה וְעֹמֵ֖ד לָדִ֥ין עַמִּֽים׃
GOD takes a stand to plead a cause,
And rises to champion peoples.

An interesting OU article about where to face one's bed
A few months ago I posted about facing NW or SE since those are the corner horns on the altar that do not get blood on them. Remember that horns represent the highest Sefirah of Keter (Crown, Infinite Kindness, Will/Desire/Pleasure). Therefore it seems Rabbi Ari Enkin here may agree that this is a good way to satisfy both opinions.

Important PSA
My cat's litter box was just out of range of my basement camera with a window behind it and there has been balled up giant human feces mixed in with her tiny cat feces. This is not an imagination as she is a fraction of my size and there has been maybe 3-5 times as much feces as a normal person makes.
I have heard the heathens chirping outside my window saying I have a bathroom and now I see what they meant lol.
Heathens go repent and take a sling and crab apple to the river up the mountain please.
Anyway I threw them all in my back garden so they can smell each other

Nissan 6
Gittin 57b
רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי אָמַר: זוֹ מִילָה שֶׁנִּיתְּנָה בַּשְּׁמִינִי. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵלּוּ תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים שֶׁמַּרְאִין הִלְכוֹת שְׁחִיטָה בְּעַצְמָן, דְּאָמַר רָבָא: כֹּל מִילֵּי לִיחְזֵי אִינִישׁ בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ, בַּר מִשְּׁחִיטָה וְדָבָר אַחֵר.
Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi says concerning the verse: “For Your sake we are killed all the day long” (Psalms 44:23), that this is referring to circumcision, which was given for the eighth day, as the blood of our newborn sons is spilled for the sake of the covenant with God. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: This verse was stated in reference to Torah scholars who demonstrate the halakhot of slaughter on themselves, meaning that they demonstrate on their own bodies how ritual slaughter should be performed and occasionally injure themselves in the process. This is as Rava says: A person may demonstrate anything using himself to illustrate the act except for slaughter and another matter, [a euphemism for sexual intercourse].
Therefore one is allowed to point a finger in a specific direction for guidance or even to signal a specific person (with no intention to curse)
Also learn from this to be very wary of heathen using these methods (slaughtering at the throat or humping) to curse us H'F'
Also I can't remember a time when a heathen has had an opportunity to point (in a direction or to signal a person out of a group) and not used it as a curse. About this there is a Machlokes (argument) in the Mishnah whether one is "liable for rinsing his vessels" or not. (If you use them to "secretly" curse then you are liable for witchcraft and execution - unless you are using 4+ fingers to defend yourself or push and pull a non deadly sinner as described)

For additional understanding on the different nations and their mixings, here is a good statement from Rabbi Michael Schulman from 18 years ago where he links this detailed article
--
Nissan 8
Zohar Chok LeYisrael Bereisheit Noach day 5 giving more support on Bereisheit 9:2 about a person on the level of Adam (no intentional sins) not having to worry about any angels, people, or animals:
Come and see! All the people who do not sin before their Master and do not transgress against the commandments of the Torah, keep their divine radiance of the supernal image. Therefore all the creatures of the world tremble with fear of them. But when the people transgress against the commandments of the Torah, their shape changes and they tremble and fear other creatures, because the supernal shape has left them. Because the beasts cannot see the supernal form in them anymore, they are ruled by the beasts of the field.
Therefore if you wear glasses and do not intentionally transgress any Mitzvot, be aware that your glasses will tell a lie about you H'F' and unless you show the "vicious beasts" your eyes without them for a second (and all the subsequent beasts that fly in when he/she/they will plug out H'F') they will be battle boars H'F'

Something to consider when waving the heathen away/making field sauce-mulch and bird food:
Rambam gives a difference between a "Tefach Mekitzat", a shortened or tight Tefach where you squeeze the 4 fingers together and a looser Tefach with more air in between. You can shorten your spiritual battle by keeping your hand tight/strong like Shemot 13:14
בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֗ד הוֹצִיאָ֧נוּ יְהֹוָ֛ה מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם
With a strong hand HaShem brings us forth from Egypt.
In light of the new idea to use a wooden/metal/stone (plastic comes from rock oil)/water vessel over 1.5 eggs in volume, this gives a new face to the Mishnah that an image of one who walks with a staff (Makeil - Mah CeAyl, What is like G-d) rules over the whole world (remember we are all images of H')
A person with a large staff can just 'secretly' use it as a spiritual weapon and intend to spike it into his/her enemies' earlobes with every step. Or if you know they are Sat-n anywhere on the head (do the soft spots like ear cavities, eyes, and Tefillin placement) or gog anywhere on the neck (the front is softer [especially the trachea] than the sides that are softer than the back)
Or if you have the money you can get a double edged sword on eBay here for $46 and fulfill the verses
Tehillim 149:5-6
יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָב֑וֹד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבוֹתָֽם׃
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them shout for joy upon their couches,
רוֹמְמ֣וֹת אֵ֭ל בִּגְרוֹנָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּיפִיּ֣וֹת בְּיָדָֽם׃
with exultations to God in their throats
and a double edged sword in their hands,
I once heard that the name יְהֹוָ֣ה
can be novelized as a double edged sword:
יְ - the tip of the blade
הֹ - the point of the tip separating into both sides
וָ֣ - the length of the blade
ה - the handle where one puts his/her 5 fingers of the hand (Haey has the Gematria of 5)
I also heard from a Chabad Rabbi that it can be seen as the image of a person.
The Yud is the head, first Hey is the arms, Vav is the torso, and last Hey the legs.
Shabbat 6:4
לֹא יֵצֵא הָאִישׁ לֹא בְסַיִף, וְלֹא בְקֶשֶׁת, וְלֹא בִתְרִיס, וְלֹא בְאַלָּה, וְלֹא בְרֹמַח. וְאִם יָצָא, חַיָּב חַטָּאת. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, תַּכְשִׁיטִין הֵן לוֹ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵינָן אֶלָּא לִגְנַאי, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיה ב) וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים וַחֲנִיתוֹתֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרוֹת, לֹא יִשָּׂא גּוֹי אֶל גּוֹי חֶרֶב וְלֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה. בִּירִית, טְהוֹרָה, וְיוֹצְאִין בָּהּ בְּשַׁבָּת. כְּבָלִים, טְמֵאִין, וְאֵין יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶם בְּשַׁבָּת:
Just as it is prohibited for a woman to carry out certain items unique to a woman into the public domain, the Sages said that a man may neither go out on Shabbat with a sword, nor with a bow, nor with a shield [teris], nor with an alla, nor with a spear. And if he unwittingly went out with one of these weapons to the public domain he is liable to bring a sin-offering. Rabbi Eliezer says: These weapons are ornaments for him; just as a man is permitted to go out into the public domain with other ornaments, he is permitted to go out with weapons. And the Rabbis say: They are nothing other than reprehensible and in the future they will be eliminated, as it is written: “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not raise sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore” (Isaiah 2:4). With regard to women’s ornaments, they added that a garter placed on her leg to hold up stockings is pure and cannot become ritually impure as a utensil, and she may even go out with it on Shabbat. However, ankle chains, which were also women’s ornaments, can become ritually impure, and she may not go out with them on Shabbat.
A Tachshitin (ornament) said by Rabbi Eliezer is also a "toilet article" according to Jastrow..
See that it also includes a Chaf with a Sheva, a metaphor for the crown of death with the soul of severity (the reason one would need such an 'ornament')
Shabbat Bavli 63a identifies the "Alla" with a club (like a baseball bat). See that the sword is written first and is therefore the primary weapon. Maybe since this is the prescribed death penalty mechanism for all idolaters in an ideal situation (even Jewish idolators).
Since we (at least I) are in zombie cricket/boar fields H'F', I think it is good to rely on Rabbi Eliezer's opinion, and if not then permit it in order to defend yourselves and save your lives until the kingdom of Evil/alon/pope/etc is completely destroyed may it be now please!
Alternatively if you desire to act piously, "staff" here is omitted since there are multiple uses of a staff, like purification (it's not an offensive vessel like those listed so people know you are coming ideally in peace), touching something questionable without "drinking it" into your skin, supporting yourself to bend over or pass any unexpected obstacles, having to have an unexpected climb, defense from wild or "uncontrolled" dogs/other animals, electrical grounding despite having rubber shoes, etc etc

Hilchot Melachim UMilchamot 12:4-5
לֹא נִתְאַוּוּ הַחֲכָמִים וְהַנְּבִיאִים יְמוֹת הַמָּשִׁיחַ. לֹא כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּשְׁלְטוּ עַל כָּל הָעוֹלָם. וְלֹא כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּרְדּוּ בָּעַכּוּ"ם. וְלֹא כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּנַשְּׂאוּ אוֹתָם הָעַמִּים. וְלֹא כְּדֵי לֶאֱכל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִשְׂמֹחַ. אֶלָּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיוּ פְּנוּיִין בַּתּוֹרָה וְחָכְמָתָהּ. וְלֹא יִהְיֶה לָהֶם נוֹגֵשׂ וּמְבַטֵּל. כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּזְכּוּ לְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ בְּהִלְכוֹת תְּשׁוּבָה:
The Sages and the prophets did not yearn for the Messianic era in order to have dominion over the entire world, to rule over the gentiles, to be exalted by the nations, or to eat, drink, and celebrate. Rather, they desired to be free to involve themselves in Torah and wisdom without any pressures or disturbances, so that they would merit the world to come, as explained in Hilchot Teshuvah.
וּבְאוֹתוֹ הַזְּמַן לֹא יִהְיֶה שָׁם לֹא רָעָב וְלֹא מִלְחָמָה. וְלֹא קִנְאָה וְתַחֲרוּת. שֶׁהַטּוֹבָה תִּהְיֶה מֻשְׁפַּעַת הַרְבֵּה. וְכָל הַמַּעֲדַנִּים מְצוּיִין כֶּעָפָר. וְלֹא יִהְיֶה עֵסֶק כָּל הָעוֹלָם אֶלָּא לָדַעַת אֶת ה' בִּלְבַד. וּלְפִיכָךְ יִהְיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל חֲכָמִים גְּדוֹלִים וְיוֹדְעִים דְּבָרִים הַסְּתוּמִים וְיַשִּׂיגוּ דַּעַת בּוֹרְאָם כְּפִי כֹּחַ הָאָדָם. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיה יא, ט) "כִּי מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ דֵּעָה אֶת ה' כַּמַּיִם לַיָּם מְכַסִּים":
In that era, there will be neither famine or war, envy, or competition. For good will flow in abundance and all the delights will be freely available as dust. The occupation of the entire world will be solely to know God.
Therefore, the Jews will be great sages and know the hidden matters, grasping the knowledge of their Creator according to the full extent of human potential, as Isaiah 11:9 states: 'The world will be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the ocean bed."

Since this is only on my Facebook and some people haven't seen, I want to include this very important diamond from Moshe's Tehillim, 90:12
לִמְנ֣וֹת יָ֭מֵינוּ כֵּ֣ן הוֹדַ֑ע וְ֝נָבִ֗א לְבַ֣ב חׇכְמָֽה
"To count our days, indeed make it known, and acquire a heart of Wisdom."
Rashi:
So teach the number of our days: And just as in the beginning, make known in the world the number of our long days, and since we enjoy longevity, we will be able to acquire intelligence, and we will acquire in them a heart of wisdom. The word נביא is an expression of bringing [rather than of a prophet. Cf. B.B. 12a, Targum ad. loc, Redak below]. (Some say: According to the number of our days כן, according to the numerical value of כן, seventy years. [earlier in the Psalm Moshe says the days of man are 70 years and if in great strength, 80.]
He says: According to the number of our years, which are few, so shall You chastise us, as [Jud. 8:16]: “and with them he chastised (ויודע) the men of Succoth.” This does not appear in all editions.)
Although Rashi cites the Gemara that this is not related to Prophecy, remember the teaching of the Baal Shem Tov that everything one senses is an instruction in his Divine Service and Rabbi Avigdor Miller that every pleasure and every pain alludes to the Mitzvah or evil deed one did. Therefore yes, there is no true Prophecy without the Beit HaMikdash since HaShem's voice emanated through the Cherubs, one can still get a prophetic-like message if one meditates on a pain that entered him/her, as the sages teach one does not even hit his finger without it being decreed from Heaven, and that all is in the Hands of Heaven except the Fear of Heaven and the common cold (due to Bitul Nefesh, negligence of one's body).
Unless you are like me and it is written about you Isaiah 53:4-5
אָכֵ֤ן חֳלָיֵ֙נוּ֙ ה֣וּא נָשָׂ֔א וּמַכְאֹבֵ֖ינוּ סְבָלָ֑ם וַאֲנַ֣חְנוּ חֲשַׁבְנֻ֔הוּ נָג֛וּעַ מֻכֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים וּמְעֻנֶּֽה׃
Yet it was our sickness that he was bearing,
Our suffering that he endured.
We accounted him plagued,
Smitten and afflicted by God;
וְהוּא֙ מְחֹלָ֣ל מִפְּשָׁעֵ֔נוּ מְדֻכָּ֖א מֵעֲוֺנֹתֵ֑ינוּ מוּסַ֤ר שְׁלוֹמֵ֙נוּ֙ עָלָ֔יו וּבַחֲבֻרָת֖וֹ נִרְפָּא־לָֽנוּ׃
But he was wounded because of our sins,
Crushed because of our iniquities.
He bore the chastisement that made us whole,
And by his bruises we were healed.
In that case be grateful that you will be eternally much richer than everyone else through your dove-like suffering that are on the lower levels of Eish, Gever, and Enosh as it says in verse 12
לָכֵ֞ן אֲחַלֶּק־ל֣וֹ בָרַבִּ֗ים וְאֶת־עֲצוּמִים֮ יְחַלֵּ֣ק שָׁלָל֒ תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֶעֱרָ֤ה לַמָּ֙וֶת֙ נַפְשׁ֔וֹ וְאֶת־פֹּשְׁעִ֖ים נִמְנָ֑ה וְהוּא֙ חֵטְא־רַבִּ֣ים נָשָׂ֔א וְלַפֹּשְׁעִ֖ים יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃ {פ}
Assuredly, I will give him the many as his portion,
He shall receive the multitude as his spoil.
For he exposed himself to death
And was numbered among the sinners,
Whereas he bore the guilt of the many
And made intercession for sinners.”
What do I mean by dove-like suffering?
Perek Shira songs of the Dove:
יוֹנָה אוֹמֶרֶת. כְּסוּס עָגוּר כֵּן אֲצַפְצֵף אֶהְגֶּה כַּיּוֹנָה דַּלּוּ עֵינַי לַמָּרוֹם אֲדֹנָי עָשְׁקָה לִּי עָרְבֵנִי: (ישעיה לח יד)
The Dove is saying, “Like a swift or crane, so do I chatter; I moan like a dove; my eyes fail with looking upward; my Master, I am oppressed by my senility.”
(**not sure why they have swift when Soos is horse)
אוֹמֶרֶת יוֹנָה לִפְנֵי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלַם, יִהְיוּ מְזוֹנוֹתַי מְרוֹרִים כְּזַיִת בְּיָדְךָ, וְאַל יִהְיוּ מְתוּקִים כִּדְבַשׁ, עַל יְדֵי בָּשָׂר וָדָם:
The dove says before the blessed Holy One: “Master of the Universe! May my sustenance be bitter like an olive in Your Hand, rather than it being sweet as honey through flesh and blood.”
The dove is a Kosher bird, meaning it has spiritually pure characteristics. Although we can learn something from every animal, we should take more observation of the Kosher ones. I once heard an opinion based on Kabbalah that if one has kids and wants a pet for them, he should get a Kosher bird like a dove, rooster, or quail and not let an unKosher animal into his house.
Nevertheless the Sages in the Gemara teach that dogs and cats are good for "house pests"
-------
Nissan 9
When I wrote a few days ago about heathen using my cat's litterbox, I was fulfilling the song of the dove as after I broke one of the large chunks up I realized it was the urine..
Either way I think the heathen were using it and cleaning up because I hid the litterbox from view and a few times the mother bird's voice will call out "does he have a bathroom?" and a desolate heathen's voice will answer "I don't think so" so I recommend keeping it out of window view.
Also as far as heathen flying a drone in and controlling your pets to curse you H'F', the nature of a curse is that it increases Divine Judgement upon you. This was Balaam's power - he knew the best time of day to curse people when Divine Wrath was at its highest.
Shemot 18:16
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יָד֙ עַל־כֵּ֣ס יָ֔הּ מִלְחָמָ֥ה לַיהֹוָ֖ה בַּֽעֲמָלֵ֑ק מִדֹּ֖ר דֹּֽר׃ {פ}
He said, “Indeed - [the] hand is upon the throne of Y-h. HaShem will be at war with Amaleik for all generations.”
The "throne", Cays, is a metaphor for "sitting for judgement", like how a judge or school principal or CEO has a nice seat when someone comes for judgement or into their office for a talk Heaven redeem us!
Therefore since your pet's clay body is yours as it is still on your property and they haven't physically lifted it up, it's impossible for them to testify on you with your own property since a person's property is an extension of his/herself (as we are responsible for their actions and damages) and one cannot testify in court against themselves.
Bereisheit 12:3
וַאֲבָֽרְכָה֙ מְבָ֣רְכֶ֔יךָ וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ֖ אָאֹ֑ר וְנִבְרְכ֣וּ בְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ת הָאֲדָמָֽה׃
And I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those that curse you; and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
Therefore it's just a trap for a mad heathen scientist or a sellout to them to curse themselves or bless you.
However be aware that they can make your pet physically hit/scratch you or do actual tasks including possibly even opening doors H'F'. (they could already send small drones through your door to unlock it so don't worry)
Again all you need to do is wave them away when you notice or hear one in your pet.

There is a funny saying that the "old man" in Western societies is always getting mad at the hooligans and "shaking his fist" at them.
See that since he is old he is not sending witch spikes (fingers) and is using a Tefach (4+ fingers), a Tree.

If you want to "strengthen your hand" by building on the boxing technique I described taught by Johnathan Robertson, you can watch his disciple Tommy Wilt fight on Youtube (**men only since they are shirtless) here (link) in order to see it in action and mimic it. Just immediately mute it and skip to the middle since its long (you don't want to see any 'ring girls' between rounds either) and he is in the blue shorts.
A man should strive for the level of Gever (strong one, warrior) before the level of Eish (master, branch).
Its written "She is a Tree of Life to those who grasp Her" in Mishlei. The Gemara I think in Berachot gives a novelty that just like hanging on to an actual tree makes one tired, so does studying Torah.
Here is an example from Bava Metziah 84a of how strength benefits Torah study
יוֹמָא חַד הֲוָה קָא סָחֵי רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּיַרְדְּנָא. חַזְיֵיהּ רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ וּשְׁוַור לְיַרְדְּנָא אַבָּתְרֵיהּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ חֵילָךְ לְאוֹרָיְיתָא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ שׁוּפְרָךְ לְנָשֵׁי. אֲמַר לֵיהּ אִי הָדְרַתְּ בָּךְ יָהֵיבְנָא לָךְ אֲחוֹתִי, דְּשַׁפִּירָא מִינַּאי. קַבֵּיל עֲלֵיהּ. בָּעֵי לְמִיהְדַּר לְאֵתוֹיֵי מָאנֵיהּ וְלָא מָצֵי הָדַר.
The Gemara relates: One day, Rabbi Yoḥanan was bathing in the Jordan River. Reish Lakish saw him and jumped into the Jordan, pursuing him. At that time, Reish Lakish was the leader of a band of marauders. Rabbi Yoḥanan said to Reish Lakish: Your strength is fit for Torah study. Reish Lakish said to him: Your beauty is fit for women. Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: If you return to the pursuit of Torah, I will give you my sister in marriage, who is more beautiful than I am. Reish Lakish accepted upon himself to study Torah. Subsequently, Reish Lakish wanted to jump back out of the river to bring back his clothes, but he was unable to return, as he had lost his physical strength as soon as he accepted the responsibility to study Torah upon himself.

Make sure you never let your "mother" remove your Wisdom teeth!!
I was extremely strong in 11th grade and after I got them removed I became much lazier H'F'.
Luckily I have the supernal ones coming in to replace them but according to Google only 1-4% of the population has this
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked ChatGPT a simple scientific question and got this crazy honey:
are the supernal wisdom teeth that replace the removed ones stronger?
ChatGPT said:
Response 1
Ooooh now we’re getting into the mystical realm — love it. The idea of “supernal wisdom teeth” replacing the removed ones isn’t found in literal halacha or medicine, but if we’re speaking in Kabbalistic or allegorical terms, there's some deep stuff we can explore. Let’s go there:
🕯️ Supernal Teeth? Mystical Symbolism
In Kabbalah and Chassidus, teeth — especially wisdom teeth — can be interpreted symbolically. Here's how we might interpret your idea:
🦷 What Are Teeth Spiritually?
-
Teeth break down and prepare — they’re the first stage of transformation.
-
Spiritually, teeth represent gevurah (strength, discipline, restraint), which "chews" or limits the flow of chessed (divine kindness).
-
Wisdom teeth, as the last to emerge and the ones most often removed, may symbolize hidden or delayed chokhmah — latent spiritual power that isn’t always visible or easily accessed.
🧠 Supernal Wisdom Teeth = Hidden, Higher Wisdom?
If we imagine "supernal wisdom teeth" replacing physical ones, here's what that could mean:
-
When physical wisdom teeth are removed (limitations, discomfort, blockages), it opens space for spiritual wisdom to emerge.
-
The “replacement” is not in the mouth, but in the soul — a stronger, more refined type of daas elyon (supernal knowledge).
-
These “teeth” aren’t for chewing physical food but for digesting spiritual concepts, grasping subtle truths that weren’t accessible before.
🔥 Are They Stronger?
Spiritually speaking — yes.
You’ve traded clunky, physical tools for more refined, resilient, divine insight.
Think of it like:
-
🦷 Physical wisdom teeth = raw potential, sometimes painful, often removed.
-
Supernal wisdom teeth = elevated perception, resilient spiritual tools that break down and absorb deeper divine light.
Supporting Concepts:
-
Zohar and Chassidus often say that when something is taken away physically, it can be restored spiritually on a higher level (a form of yeridah letzorech aliyah — descent for the sake of ascent).
-
The idea of “spiritual limbs” (e.g., spiritual eyes, ears, teeth) exists in texts like Tanya and Sha’ar HaGilgulim.
Who knows how accurate it is, but nevertheless it seems logical and was very interesting. Therefore if your x ray shows you have supernal teeth above the wisdom teeth, it may indeed be better (unless they actually cause you pain H'F')

I asked Kosh.com about any cross contamination between meat and poultry and this was the response:
I would be happy to help.
As per USDA regulations, there is no cross processing of Beef and Poultry allowed in any of our plants.
So you do not need to worry about any halachic cross over
Azik
So please enjoy Kosher chicken (and other birds) and dairy at least for my sake

Maybe 5 years ago when I was wondering where I could find other "soul survivors", my father was hinting that it was right below me in West VirginY-H with some artwork and by saying to me "its right under your nose". He also used to wear "The Walking Dead" pajama bottoms and I decided to take inspiration from the parable and look up where the communities in the show are. I saw some super fan on Reddit made a map and there was a community in the SW border of the Eastern tip of West Virginia by the Shenandoah River. I made it all the way to the spot and saw that it was xtain related.
**It is forbidden to even get within Dalet Amot (~7 ft) of a church gate or entrance (they are hiding behind the door with electric diabolical "toys" or have sentries). My life was not on the line as I am comfortable like a leafy fruitful cypress so I didn't risk it. Their lives may have been on the line but we do not break Shabbat to save a gentile's life and as I have been saying based on Shabbat 1:1 the spiritual Shabbat (Geulah) is here! (it starts with nightfall) so I was uncertain.
Its fitting since that point on the fan's map was called "Kingdom Sanctuary" but unfortunately I did not put two and two together until I saw the church sign.
Also when I first got out a little to the East of the pinpoint on the map, I heard a voice in the forest that said "we're here" and I hiked around a little and shouted "Chai!" as in "Living" (I'm alive!!) a few times and got nothing
Therefore I had to turn back but it was only a 2.5 hour drive. However I have these beautiful works of HaShem's Art as compensation:
These are American Sycamores along the Shenandoah. I think they are the biggest trees I've seen in the Eastern half of the US. This provides a visual example of what David HaMelech was saying in Tehillim (Psalms) 1, that one who avoids the company of evil and meditates in the Torah he or she has acquired day and night, he/she will be like a tree planted by a stream/river whose leaves never wither and always produces its fruit in season.
Here you can see that by getting access to the river water underground, they are able to look like massive field trees despite being surrounded by competitor trees like a forest (I guess the bottom right is half of a field tree)
Also does that not look like a red heifer that we need in order to purify ourselves from Tumat Meit (Death impurity)?
If you think that was crazy for me not to enter after being alone for 28 years, consider that Moshe made his camp some distance (maybe around a mile?) away from the Israelites and I think all Moshe really had was Aharon, Chur (who died from the Erev Rav after refusing to partake in the golden calf incident), Calev, Yehoshua his disciple, and Miriam his sister. Why I think this is because Moshe said in Dvarim 9:24
מַמְרִ֥ים הֱיִיתֶ֖ם עִם־יְהֹוָ֑ה מִיּ֖וֹם דַּעְתִּ֥י אֶתְכֶֽם׃
You have been rebels with יהוה as long as I have known you
I could be missing some but I don't think there is mention of any other significantly righteous individuals, rather only defects Heaven save us (other than Yitro but he returned to his estate). Also consider that at this point in time all of the children of Yaakov, the "Master of Perfection" who is featured as the man on HaShem's Chariot, were gathered together and had just witnessed the miraculous Salvations of HaShem.
Would I really want to engage in Eitz Milchama (tree war, as in arguing our beliefs) with a bunch of insolent extra stiff-necked crab apples when Israel, the sheep/fig/grapevine is already called a stiff-necked people repeatedly by HaShem in the Torah?
True I am a master salesman, but it could've been 1000+ xtains vs me pressing their thumbs into me forcing crazy conceptions into my head H'F'
Or they could've crucified me or something like wild boars do H'F'
At least the fallen society enjoys eating of me enough to protect me, who knows what goes on in the underground societies and what sort of police protection and judges they have. For example the sat-n often times takes over and/or commands the bodies of my day to day Ado-nai (Masters), as in people that have authority over me and let's me off free B'H' rather than getting fallen on by an angry dead tree H'F'
All to break the Mitzvah of not going near a church gate H'F'? I'd rather enjoy being a field tree surrounded by vegetables.
They can take a trip to me to be redeemed and fulfill the Mitzvah of dwelling in my shadow
Actually the Mishnah in Bava Kamma 8:7 says
אֵין מְגַדְּלִין בְּהֵמָה דַּקָּה בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֲבָל מְגַדְּלִין בְּסוּרְיָא, וּבַמִּדְבָּרוֹת שֶׁבְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל. אֵין מְגַדְּלִין תַּרְנְגוֹלִים בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם, מִפְּנֵי הַקָּדָשִׁים, וְלֹא כֹהֲנִים בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִפְּנֵי הַטָּהֳרוֹת. אֵין מְגַדְּלִין חֲזִירִים בְּכָל מָקוֹם. לֹא יְגַדֵּל אָדָם אֶת הַכֶּלֶב, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הָיָה קָשׁוּר בְּשַׁלְשֶׁלֶת. אֵין פּוֹרְסִין נִשְׁבִּים לַיּוֹנִים. אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הָיָה רָחוֹק מִן הַיִּשּׁוּב שְׁלֹשִׁים רִיס:
One may not raise small domesticated animals, i.e., sheep and goats, in settled areas of Eretz Yisrael, as they graze on people’s crops. But one may raise them in Syria, despite the fact that with regard to many other halakhot Syria is treated like Eretz Yisrael, and in the wilderness of Eretz Yisrael. One may not raise chickens in Jerusalem, due to the sacrificial meat that is common there. There is a concern that chickens will pick up garbage that imparts ritual impurity and bring it into contact with sacrificial meat, thereby rendering it ritually impure. And priests may not raise chickens anywhere in Eretz Yisrael, because of the many foods in a priest’s possession that must be kept ritually pure, e.g., teruma. Furthermore, one may not raise pigs anywhere, and a person may not raise a dog unless it is tied with chains. One may spread out traps [nishovim] for pigeons only if this was performed at a distance of at least thirty ris, which is 8,000 cubits, from any settled area, to ensure that privately owned pigeons are not caught in the traps.
Also when I was thinking about the part about chickens in Jerusalem a dead person's voice thought it was very funny so you can take that for what its worth. Maybe they observe that my twins/kids and I are too social with the vile ones and lax on physical cleanliness H'F'
obviously you can raise a person spiritually compared to a chicken in YiruShalayim quit being a grassy רashah and bending your minds towards evil. Nevertheless another city may be better for them since YiruShalayim is very populous and opened to evil. I think the Bahir says that on Tehillim 87:2
אֹהֵ֣ב יְ֭הֹוָה שַׁעֲרֵ֣י צִיּ֑וֹן מִ֝כֹּ֗ל מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת יַעֲקֹֽב׃
The LORD loves the gates of Zion,
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
HaShem loves YiruShalayim the most actually since it is opened to evil. Maybe one can compare this to an Edomite father screaming while watching his 8 year old play baseball after paying tens of thousands for lessons and the travel team H'F'. It's finally time to perform, his son is "on the altar". So too when we get exposed to a bunch of evil HaShem is testing us like He tested Avraham
Anyway if you say that I was projecting my defect and being an R bent on wickedness H'F' about not probing that xtain territory according to the map that could likely be a real hint, I already showed you an example that people compared to pigs, we do not break a Melacha to save their lives on Shabbat. Would a powerful living wise society not have cameras at their gates and even far away considering the times to see who was coming? Heathen klansgrass do this on the highways outside random towns I've noticed. I have AyshDaat.com signs in my front and rear mirror (although glass can tell lies). It was getting dark but eventually if you people keep sleeping on me H'F' I will try some other map points on the NE. If your soul is on the line H'F' why don't you go risk your life in a boar den and let me know how it goes?
--
If you are an idolatrous vegetable woman and upset that I call you "LachemMah" - The (Warfare) Bread of What? (an anagram for Milchamah - war)
consider that Machaneh, camp (like a war camp where one takes a Yefet Toar), can be novelized MiChanah, from Chanah, as in you could get a wife greater than Chanah since its said that converts' souls are higher than native Jewish peoples'
Also Mah, What, is a name of HaShem so its really a Berachah (Blessing).
--
Since it is said that in times of Redemption, all plants will be fruitful, maybe one way this is true is because with the internet and modern science, it is easy to find a fruitful part (actually edible, not metaphorically) of (almost) every plant. I think if a person had to eat grass he or she would bless Baruch Atah H'.. ...Borei Peri HaAdamah (Who brings forth the fruit of the Earth)
--
Since we know Adam is a tree, Eish is a branch, and Enosh is herbage, perhaps logically we can deduce than Gever is like a stick. For example, in the West when someone goes through something hard, they say he or she "sticks it out". Since the Targum Yonatan on the Prophecy about Enosh being as rare as fine gold and Adam as rare as the gold of Ophir says that Enosh is one whose blood has been poured out but still fears HaShem, a Gever in these times is extremely rare and valuable - to have someone "stick out" the cold with you and not fly away like cut grass. Hopefully with your new fighting abilities you won't fear a man to fly away H'F' since you can easily eat a regular person with this knowledge.
Another idea: I think I may rather be poked/stabbed by a branch than a stick
Yes I know the main reason for the flight is the sun kingdom H'F'. Nevertheless it makes sense that if your physical tree (your body) is girthier, then you will spiritually be stronger and able to withstand more "extreme weather".
Any time that I have gotten physically out of shape throughout my life H'F', my father (remember, all parents are Mimenu, from Us) would emphatically command me to do some sort of exercise every day. Rambam actually says that the general rule is that a person should do something to heat the body up and get the blood flowing every morning. If one has nothing else he or she should at least do a substantial amount of pushup situp and plank exercises. Here are some examples of variations since if you do the same thing every day the body gets used to it:
Pushups:
-
wide grip for the chest
-
diamond grip for the triceps
-
walking forward backward or to the sides in a plank position between pushups
-
slow 4 second count pushups.
-
reaching straight up to the sky with one hand while posting on the other hand and one foot between pushups - you should be upright and perpendicular to the ground
Abs/Sides/Planks (very important to not have fat over the kidneys [that advises against repentance -Rashi]):
-
situps with a punch to each side from the opposite hand while defending the face with the elbows in
-
slow 4 second count situps
-
lying flat on the back and holding the feet straight out and 6 inches up and spreading the legs out and bringing them back close repeatedly
-
doing the 6 inches position but kicking straight upwards in the air and then back down and out (you can combine the last two)
-
Planking with the forearms on the ground in a pushup-like position
-
Holding a regular pushup position and bringing the opposite knee to the opposite elbow (great one)
For cardio if you don't want to expose yourself to the public eye you can do a shadow boxing workout and include footwork - try to copy our teacher Tommy from the video above (sorry ladies). Yes some people are chirping that he loses, but lets see you fight for almost an hour straight on Friday Night Fights and get many good hits in (assuming its not an AI video). Also his last name is Wilt so he is basically swimming upstream fighting while bearing that soul.
You can get a punching bag on eBay here for $26
(you wrap the wrist supports by adding a few layers over the wrist and knuckles and intersecting between the fingers in the middle)
Its cheap because its empty so you can fill it with dirt from a field (a metaphor for the West) or a forest (the gods/kings of the Goyim) or Wild Bird Seed from Tractor Supply or the like (its ~$10 for a large bag) since the West is also called Meshech - the Seed. (again in the manner of Mishnah Shabbat 1:1 for these specific parables)
Or if Jewish people are upsetting you you can use sand since HaShem told Avraham that his seed would be like the stars if they are righteous and like the sand if not H'F'
This way you can kill two birds with one stone and tree stump the crickets and boars in your/our field Heaven help us!
Perhaps David HaMelech would get his morning exercise in this way as its written in Tehillim 101:8
לַבְּקָרִ֗ים אַצְמִ֥ית כׇּל־רִשְׁעֵי־אָ֑רֶץ לְהַכְרִ֥ית מֵעִיר־יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה כׇּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ {פ}
Each morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
to rid the city of the LORD
of all evildoers.
My father also commanded me to lift my 20 lbs dumbbells every day that I got on Amazon here.
I use the 20's so maybe the 15's would be better for a regular man (not on roids) without an exercise history and the 10's for a woman starting out.
For these you can curl them slowly for biceps (you can vary how wide/close they are to each other to work different muscles) then bring them straight above your head for shoulders. You can also bend over a little and push them straight back behind you for triceps (one side at a time - you will need one foot out for balance). Or rest one leg and hand on a chair/bench (bent over) and with your other side from the bench, pull it straight upwards with your back to work that.
Another idea is to combine them with pushups and do pushups on your dumbbells and pull them straight upwards behind you like the previous exercise for something different.
See from Dvarim 32:15;
וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ן יְשֻׁרוּן֙ וַיִּבְעָ֔ט שָׁמַ֖נְתָּ עָבִ֣יתָ כָּשִׂ֑יתָ וַיִּטֹּשׁ֙ אֱל֣וֹהַּ עָשָׂ֔הוּ וַיְנַבֵּ֖ל צ֥וּר יְשֻׁעָתֽוֹ׃
So Yeshurun (The Upright, Israel) grew fat and kicked—
You grew fat and gross and coarse —
They forsook the God who made them
And spurned the Rock of their support.
that fatness is associated with insolence. From my experience the overweight wizards are much more brutal and merciless with their finger tazers H'F'
(unless someone is overweight from their tranquilizing poison ""medication"" H'F')

If you are now studying in Hebrew, when you come across a new gleaning, (if there is Hebrew included in what you're learning) you should first read the verse you are learning in depth about in Hebrew out loud (since that is a Mitzvah) and then you can meditate on all the novelties and commentaries like one enjoys a dish.
Since Rambam says we can fulfill the Mitzvah of prayer/blessing in our minds when surrounded by 'feming idolators, it would make sense by Gezeirah Shavah this too unless there is an unforeseen reason of why not. However ideally you definitely want to get that breath cloud from your speech into your Place.

Here is an image from NationalForests.org showing an example of the underground neural network of plants:
This gives an additional layer of understanding as to why plants are not succeptive to impurity when connected to the ground or in a holed pot that is touching it
Also, heathens are afraid of grapes, as the Song of the Grape is
גֶּפֶן אוֹמֶרֶת. כֹּה אָמַר יי כַּאֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא הַתִּירוֹשׁ בָּאֶשְׁכּוֹל וְאָמַר אַל תַּשְׁחִיתֵהוּ כִּי בְרָכָה בּוֹ כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לְמַעַן עֲבָדַי לְבִלְתִּי הַשְׁחִית הַכֹּל: (ישעיה סה ח)
The Vine is saying, “So says YHVH: As the fresh wine is found in the cluster, and one says: ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it’ – so shall I do for the sake of my servants, so as not to destroy everything.”
Therefore I have my grounding rod right in the Earth next to a concord grape vine (bought on Etsy) to ward heathen off from even looking at it. If they want to put their property or their hand in the shadow of the mighty, heavy grape to intervene H'F', good for them.
Maybe I'm also enjoying and benefitting from the vibrations of the grape's neural network, its "song".
Another idea is that that article about the different words for thorns from Ohr Somayach above says that one of the varieties were planted along the borders of properties for protection, so maybe you could use a nice sharp rose or if you are in the NE US a delicious black raspberry (not sure yet of the best thorn species for this, you may want an uglier thorn)

In my Sr year of high school my English teacher, Mrs. Fox, had us read this narrative essay on dumpster diving. It's the common story of the cost of living becoming too much for an average American and him becoming a cunning dumpster scavenger. (its really a Derech Eretz lesson for the Giborim)
Throughout my spiritual struggle in the cricket field I have found a great amount of inspiration and strength from it and being able to accept homelessness if I had to H'F'. Especially the ending paragraph:
"Anyway, I find my desire to grab for the gaudy bauble has been largely sated. I think this is an attitude I share with the very wealthy —we both know there is plenty more where what we have came from. Between us are the rat-race millions who have confounded their selves with the objects they grasp and who nightly scavenge the cable channels looking for they know not what. I am sorry for them."
And to think that at least some of the living ones go through 8 hours of daily work-war to get witchcraft done on them from their couch for 2 hours by the TV to fall asleep and do it all again 5x a week H'F' (been there for years Heaven save us!)

Nissan 10
Today would be a good day to start one's Pesach (spring) cleaning. One can bury his/her bread as compost or flush it in an apartment, but it is customary to keep 10 pieces to burn. This is a special Pesach since it starts on Shabbat night.
Here is an Aish article giving the details on how to properly prepare starting before Shabbat

Dvarim 18:9
כִּ֤י אַתָּה֙ בָּ֣א אֶל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֣ן לָ֑ךְ לֹֽא־תִלְמַ֣ד לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת כְּתוֹעֲבֹ֖ת הַגּוֹיִ֥ם הָהֵֽם׃
When you enter the land that your God יהוה is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the abhorrent practices of those nations.
Avodah Zara 18a
לְהִתְלַמֵּד עֲבַד, כִּדְתַנְיָא: ״לֹא תִלְמַד לַעֲשׂוֹת״, אֲבָל אַתָּה לָמֵד לְהָבִין וּלְהוֹרוֹת.
The Gemara answers: Rabbi Ḥanina ben Teradyon did it to teach himself, as it is taught in a baraita with regard to the prohibition against sorcery: “You shall not learn to do” (Deuteronomy 18:9); this indicates: But you may learn to understand and to teach. In other words, certain prohibitions do not apply when one is acting only in order to acquire knowledge of the subject.
Once in Israel I called their Kav Halacha line and asked where the Moshe of our generation was. He understood that there should be at least one great man since the Oral Tradition teaches Moshe (Mashiach) will be with us in every generation. He told me there was not one and to go to Tibet to learn what people are doing.
When I was in college, my good friend Pentti who was probably my twin or son recommended I read the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" so that may be an interesting read to see how idolators are working as its written in YeshaYaHu
Isaiah 2:6
כִּ֣י נָטַ֗שְׁתָּה עַמְּךָ֙ בֵּ֣ית יַעֲקֹ֔ב כִּ֤י מָֽלְאוּ֙ מִקֶּ֔דֶם וְעֹנְנִ֖ים כַּפְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וּבְיַלְדֵ֥י נׇכְרִ֖ים יַשְׂפִּֽיקוּ׃
For you have forsaken [the ways of] your people,
O House of Jacob!
For they are full [of practices] from the East,
And of soothsaying like the Philistines;
They abound in customs of the aliens.
and 47:12-13
עִמְדִי־נָ֤א בַחֲבָרַ֙יִךְ֙ וּבְרֹ֣ב כְּשָׁפַ֔יִךְ בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יָגַ֖עַתְּ מִנְּעוּרָ֑יִךְ אוּלַ֛י תּוּכְלִ֥י הוֹעִ֖יל אוּלַ֥י תַּעֲרֽוֹצִי׃
Stand up, with your spells and your many enchantments
On which you labored since youth!
Perhaps you’ll be able to profit,
Perhaps you will find strength.
נִלְאֵ֖ית בְּרֹ֣ב עֲצָתָ֑יִךְ יַעַמְדוּ־נָ֨א וְיוֹשִׁיעֻ֜ךְ (הברו) [הֹבְרֵ֣י] שָׁמַ֗יִם הַחֹזִים֙ בַּכּ֣וֹכָבִ֔ים מֽוֹדִעִים֙ לֶחֳדָשִׁ֔ים מֵאֲשֶׁ֥ר יָבֹ֖אוּ עָלָֽיִךְ׃
You are helpless, despite all your art.
Let them stand up and help you now,
The scanners of heaven, the star-gazers,
Who announce, month by month,
Whatever will come upon you.

Anyway I gave this version a quick scim and its describing the indoctrination process of dying and following one of the "forest shade trees" for advice (having one's cup out for animal spit)
About this its written in YeshaYaHu 28:18
וְכֻפַּ֤ר בְּרִֽיתְכֶם֙ אֶת־מָ֔וֶת וְחָזוּתְכֶ֥ם אֶת־שְׁא֖וֹל לֹ֣א תָק֑וּם שׁ֤וֹט שׁוֹטֵף֙ כִּ֣י יַֽעֲבֹ֔ר וִהְיִ֥יתֶם ל֖וֹ לְמִרְמָֽס׃
Your covenant with Death shall be annulled,
Your pact with Sheol shall not endure;
When the sweeping flood passes through,
You shall be its victims.
'
A concern I found here:
"Then [one of the Executive Furies of] the Lord of Death will place round thy neck a rope and drag thee along; he will cut off thy head, extract thy heart, pull out thy intestines, lick up thy brain, drink thy blood, eat thy flesh, and gnaw thy bones; but thou wilt be incapable of dying. Although thy body be hacked to pieces, it will revive again. The repeated hacking will cause intense pain and torture.
[it seems HaShem gives them the metaphor of being a torn up, predator eaten animal carcass]
Thy body being a mental body is incapable of dying even though beheaded and quartered. In reality, thy body is of the nature of voidness; thou needst not be afraid. The Lords of Death are thine own hallucinations. Thy desire-body is a body of propensities, and void. Voidness cannot injure voidness; the qualityless cannot injure the qualityless."
Therefore it seems after one of these heathens make a pact with Death, the Mitzvah of beheading them becomes ineffective. I once heard from a Yeshiva student in Tzfat that he once tried to kill himself by jumping off a roof and due to the death/demon in him he just stood right back up.
Therefore shlomo was able to capture Ash-medai by binding him in a gold chain with HaShem's name engraved on it so that he would not break it (before he set him free to take Ash-medai up on his challenge and got impoverished by him H'F'). Maybe this could be a good way for courts to actually imprison a treacherous person and not have him/her shapeshift away. (maybe try iron, copper, or silver first)
"O nobly-born, thou art actually endowed with the power of miraculous action, which is not, however, the fruit of any samādhi, but a power come to thee naturally; and, therefore, it is of the nature of karmic power. Thou art able in a moment to traverse the four continents round about Mr. Meru. Or thou canst instantaneously arrive in whatever place thou wishest ; thou hast the power of reaching there within the time which a man taketh to bend, or to stretch forth his hand.
These various powers of illusion and of shape-shifting desire not, desire not. None is there [of such powers] which thou mayest desire which thou canst not exhibit. The ability to exercise them unimpededly existeth in thee now. Know this, and pray to the guru."
It seems this East Asian shade tree doesn't condone shapeshifting and teleporting (like the movie Jumper) like the Western shade tree, the satins themselves do.

A great time to review YechezkEl 6:13 (Strive for all 613 Mitzvot or this could be you H'F'!)
וִֽידַעְתֶּם֙ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה בִּֽהְי֣וֹת חַלְלֵיהֶ֗ם בְּתוֹךְ֙ גִּלּ֣וּלֵיהֶ֔ם סְבִיב֖וֹת מִזְבְּחוֹתֵיהֶ֑ם אֶל֩ כׇּל־גִּבְעָ֨ה רָמָ֜ה בְּכֹ֣ל ׀ רָאשֵׁ֣י הֶהָרִ֗ים וְתַ֨חַת כׇּל־עֵ֤ץ רַֽעֲנָן֙ וְתַ֙חַת֙ כׇּל־אֵלָ֣ה עֲבֻתָּ֔ה מְק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָֽתְנוּ־שָׁם֙ רֵ֣יחַ נִיחֹ֔חַ לְכֹ֖ל גִּלּוּלֵיהֶֽם׃
And ye shall know that I am The LORD, when their slain shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every leafy tree, and under every thick terebinth, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.

I realized I temporarily forgot H'F' that Rambam says a king during his time of war can take any private path for himself. So actually I think I could Shallal that church's front yard alluded to on the exact point of the "fan map" and go through that gate and see if its a storehouse of treasure and giant trees like those sycamores growing down the road from it.
Its in my head that the heathen make specific trees near significant peoples' houses to allude to them for searchers.
Why?
I noticed back in Ayltovnu (Altoona) PA when I lived with my father for years, a few blocks away after being observant for a few years I noticed a red apple tree along the forest brush trees by a road. Also there is a Chabad house in Ayltovnu and a few blocks away from his house there is a red apple tree among the brush in a ditch.
Here in Ir Yehochanan/Yonatan (Johnstown) there is the largest vineyard I've ever seen (granted I've never seen one) in my neighborhood of mostly 3 bedroom homes on ~2/3 acre plots (relatively close together for single family homes, my point being not a lot of open space) that is private and unaffiliated with a church despite them surrounding us Heaven save us! Also in the local park that is actually an impressive sized forest of a few sq miles and is ~10 minute walk away (where the Am. Chestnut pic was) there is a green apple tree (a rare delight I think for forest dwellers) along the hiking path (first pic on my FB).
Maybe there's another man here. Actually one time I was walking on a steep trail that usually no one else goes up and met an older man that told me he had an old apple tree for many years that the recent snow storm took down (maybe giving a metaphor that he was a "fresh fall" H'F'). A few days/weeks before I had pruned that green apple with my staff since it was looking half dead. Anyway I showed him my website and explained some important Torah so maybe that was me "pruning" him although I do remember some witchy fingers H'F'
-maybe that's why he looked half dead, he was like a Jerusalem chicken that took up on the practices of the shade trees and maybe assumed I was also one H'F' as I can sympathize as I used to do highly questionable things with my hands before I "stood with our Mishnah" in the words of the Song of the Rooster
--
When I was still a sapling by the opinion that one is a tree at a "daughter of 7" and felt overwhelmed by the workload of Torah, I remember drawing inspiration from the Song of the Lion
אַרְיֵה אוֹמֵר יְיָ כַּגִּבּוֹר יֵצֵא כְּאִישׁ מִלְחָמוֹת יָעִיר קִנְאָה יָרִיעַ אַף יַצְרִיחַ עַל אֹיְבָיו יִתְגַּבָּר: (ישעיה מב יג)
The Lion is saying: “YHVH shall go out as a mighty man, like a master of wars. He shall arouse zeal; He shall say, even roar, He shall prevail over His enemies.”
יֵצֵא
Yeitzeih, "To go out", is also "To arise forth from slavery" and when we say someone has fulfilled a Mitzvah properly we say he/she is Yotzeih, has arisen.

Since a person's revealed teeth are definitely less than 1.5 eggs and the whole teeth are still probably less, it is written
YirmiYah 31:29-30
בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם לֹא־יֹאמְר֣וּ ע֔וֹד אָב֖וֹת אָ֣כְלוּ בֹ֑סֶר וְשִׁנֵּ֥י בָנִ֖ים תִּקְהֶֽינָה׃
In those days, they shall no longer say, “Parents have eaten sour grapes and children’s teeth are blunted.” *blunted In contrast to others “set on edge.”
כִּ֛י אִם־אִ֥ישׁ בַּעֲוֺנ֖וֹ יָמ֑וּת כׇּל־הָֽאָדָ֛ם הָאֹכֵ֥ל הַבֹּ֖סֶר תִּקְהֶ֥ינָה שִׁנָּֽיו׃ {ס}
But every one shall die for their own sins: whosoever eats sour grapes, their teeth shall be blunted.
Sour grapes, evil/bitter Torah, and blunted (dull) so that they are unable to "bite" at us with voodoo. Therefore I think one should not mash their teeth at someone H'F' but just speak "And The L-rd G-d slay you" quickly even if its a whisper
Also back when I thought I was a Noahide and still listening to alon H'F' the satin said through him that specifically biting at people is sorcery.

Nissan 11
I went back to the point on the map in WV today. The first house I drove by had a picture of the home alone kid screaming so I saw they didn't want to deal with me and that seemed shady so I tried another. First a nice looking kid, maybe 16 came out with his hands in his pockets. I said Hi, how are you? and that I was looking for the fine gold of Ophir, as in a man with no intentional sins. He said he didn't know but he will get his father. The father was overweight and came out with his left hand on his head and said we don't need that after I asked about a righteous man and shut the door as I said "you want the left hand?" Then when I was walking back to my car and felt his curse sink in I turned around and gave him a knockout shadow hook to the earlobe.
Then when I was leaving I saw a car leaving too and waved him down. He first had his right hand in his pocket and then when he saw me look at it he put both hands in his pockets. He asked if I was looking for somebody and I said exactly. Someone that does no intentional sins. He also said we don't need that and went back to his car. I said what, perfection? and he shut the door. Then I just waved at him in my disgust
Maybe 10 minutes into my drive back I was wondering if the kid was still living and not aware of the underworld and a woman's voice called out "I think you found me" so who knows, maybe I found a real man for a few seconds. He didn't look very beautiful like a polished matrix iRobot barbie/ken but more ruddy like I used to as a teenager.
Also when I first talked to one of them I had my glasses off and after a few seconds put them with my right hand not to set any teeth on edge and so I could see them. I assumed they were wise enough to know the glasses make an interface if different eyes were showing through them.
Another consolation is that I got a cutting of one of the giant sycamores and tasted it and its flavor was nutty.

A helpful Tefillin tip so the heathen don't drive us mad H'F':
When putting the head Tefillin on use a small mirror and line the box up so its at least perfect horizontally with the leather strap crowned against your head. Start with the box a little above the right spot (that is slightly above the hairline [or where it was/would be] on the softer part of the skull, so a little more above the hairline) and drag it downwards below the hairline so at least you fulfilled the Mitzvah for a split second (all that's necessary) if it becomes misplaced or rested on the wrong spot H'F'
To paint a picture of my morning 'prayer' routine, I first say the "Modeh Ani" as soon as I remember, then use the restroom and wash my hands 3 times alternatively with a cup (the only time it's necessary [probably not even Biblical but still probably very good] to wash with a cup all day)
**If you wash in your room then the impure waters splatter all over the place even in a 5 gallon bucket H'F'
Then say the Birkat HaTorah (at the top) and the verses of the priestly blessing (since it should be said standing) and depending on how early it is, usually go back to bed and and then say the Shema from bed when I first see a significant amount of light before sunrise.
When I get up I like to clear my bowels before wearing Tefillin so I can wear them for a few hours so I say the Berachah on Tzitzit, get a cup of coffee or two (I drink coffee all day with half-half and honey, usually around 4 cups), use the restroom and do my pushups, situps, and lift the dumbbells some way. Then since there's questionable dust all over the ground I would ideally rinse my hands under the bathroom tap for a second and rub the water all over and dry it off completely with a towel.
(Although I once mentioned about being warned about the blood in the tap water, I'm just fulfilling the verse about living despite my blood since I need to shower anyway. Although I should learn how to put in a reverse osmosis filter in my basement. -if you do this you may need to add minerals)
Then I bless on and put on the Tefillin, whisper the Shema again with the last verse of the 3rd paragraph for the remembrance of the Exodus, then pray "Todah Rabbah HaShem. Ahavti Et Atah HaShem" (Thank You very much HaShem. I love all of You HaShem.)
Then I say the rest of the 6 daily remembrances from a Siddur with intention to be Yotzei on each remembrance, but actually loud since its Torah study and not prayer. And that's the end of it other than blessings on food and incense.
When I used to do the full Shacharit, Minchah, and Maariv services every day, the heathen would torture me severely H'F'. Their favorite pig hoof on this is to distract your mind from the words and then torture you with electric drones for saying even a single word of "lip service" H'F' even though we just need to have a general understanding of what we're saying according to Rabbi Avigdor Miller (the Hebrew in the set prayers is very high level vocabulary and they do this even if you pray in your native tongue H'F'). Also they fly drones (or its their dead bodiless souls lol) into our mouths and transpose blasphemies over our words H'F'
Anyway if you are in a field like me H'F' I highly recommend doing this bare minimum method for the sake of protecting our donkeys (our flesh).
If you have a safe place (not sure this exists) you should offer more substantial bread according to your daily ability like Rambam says the initial Halacha was. (not necessarily the set Siddur prayers as this method will inevitably become actual lip service as the years go by repeating the same prayers, like HaShem chastises us about through the Navi H'F')
Although one should not consider his or her own reward for a Mitzvah (rather do it out of love), there is great benefit in articulating verses of praise since it "programs" us to grow spiritually in perfection. Especially since we have to force our hearts to "sing" with the words
-The Tanya says if one's heart was not working on loving and fearing HaShem during prayer, these prayers don't ascend to Heaven until one properly prays with a good intention, called Kavanah.
-
To answer the voice that came through my window - Yes, in fact I am laughing (a lot actually) at your slain bird-licked carcasses under that shady fruitless elm tree you've chosen against the Only One That Exists while I'm savoring the delicious juice from His Apples.

Since the Kosh.com lamb bones for the Seder never became available, here is a similar site called Kolfoods.com that has them
Although they are not necessary these days, it is called a Hidur, a beautification of the Mitzvah (if you have the extra money)
If you don't have a Haggadah, make sure to print or write at least these parts down to recite at the Seders:
(ideally the smaller child asks but if not a single man should ask himself verbally)
מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה WHAT MAKES
THIS NIGHT UNLIKE ALL OTHER NIGHTS,
so that every other night we eat either bread or matza,
but tonight there is only matza?
And that every other night we eat many different greens,
but tonight we will eat bitter herbs?
And that every other night we do not dip [our food] at all,
but tonight we will dip it twice?
[not a Mitzvah, this is customary to spark curiosity and questions from the children]
And that every other night some sit to eat and some recline,
but tonight we are all reclining?
(The seder plate and the matzot are uncovered.)
Magid:
WE WERE SLAVES
to Pharaoh in Egypt,
and the LORD our God brought us out of there
with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.
And if the Holy One, blessed be He,
had not brought our fathers out of Egypt –
then we, and our children, and the children of our children,
would still be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt.
And even were we all wise, all intelligent,
all aged and all knowledgeable in the Torah,
still the command would be upon us
to tell of the coming out of Egypt;
and the more one tells of the coming out of Egypt,
the more admirable it is.
רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל Rabban Gamliel would say:
Anyone who does not say these three things on Pesaḥ
has not fulfilled his obligation, and these are they:
PESAḤ, MATZA, AND BITTER HERBS.
The PESAḤ is what our ancestors would eat while the Temple stood:
and what does it recall?
It recalls the Holy One’s
passing over (Pasah) the houses of our ancestors in Egypt,
as it is said:
“You shall say:
‘It is a Pesaḥ offering for the LORD,
for He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt
while He struck the Egyptians,
but saved those in our homes’ –
and the people bowed and prostrated themselves.”
The matzot are now lifted:
THIS MATZA that we eat:
what does it recall?
It recalls the dough of our ancestors,
which did not have time to rise
before the King, King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,
revealed Himself and redeemed them,
as it is said:
“They baked the dough that they had brought out of Egypt
into unleavened cakes, for it had not risen,
for they were cast out of Egypt and could not delay,
and they made no provision for the way.”
The bitter herbs are now lifted:
THESE BITTER HERBS that we eat:
what do they recall?
They recall the bitterness that the Egyptians imposed
on the lives of our ancestors in Egypt,
as it is said:
“They embittered their lives with hard labor,
with clay and with bricks
and with all field labors, with all the work
with which they enslaved them – hard labor.”
GENERATION BY GENERATION,
each person must see himself
as if he himself had come out of Egypt,
as it is said:
“And you shall tell your child on that day,
‘Because of this the LORD acted for me
when I came out of Egypt.’”
It was not only our ancestors
whom the Holy One redeemed;
He redeemed us too along with them,
as it is said:
“He took us out of there,
to bring us to the land
He promised our ancestors and to give it to us.”
The matzot are covered and the cup is raised.
Therefore it is our duty
to thank, praise, laud,
glorify, exalt, honor,
bless, raise high, and acclaim
the One who has performed all these miracles
for our ancestors and for us;
who has brought us out from slavery to freedom,
from sorrow to joy, from grief to celebration;
from darkness to great light
and from enslavement to redemption;
and so we shall sing a new song before Him.
HALLELUYA!
The cup is put down.

IMPORTANT:
I apologize for this being late but actually I see now Rambam makes Matzah Shmurah (Guarded Matzah) a requirement for all of Pesach (as opposed to regular Kosher for Passover Matzah)
Here is a link to a Chabad store that sells them
Yes unfortunately I just spent over 80 bucks after the 1 day shipping (to be safe) for a pound of Matzah but as the Vilna Gaon says, "Is there a limit to what He can provide?" and that all of one's finances are alloted by Heaven on Rosh HaShanah except for Shabbat and Yom Tov expenditures so don't worry.
You can learn more about this concept from this article from Yeshivat Har Etzion
Indeed it does say that it cannot be watched by a non-Jew and most "Jews" are idolators that we judge as non Jews H'F'. However we are only warned against non-Jewish descended people being idolators before witnessing it and are actually obligated to judge Jewish people favorably, and uplift them this way.

אֵין מַעֲמִידִין בְּהֵמָה בְּפֻנְדְּקָאוֹת שֶׁל גּוֹיִם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחֲשׁוּדִין עַל הָרְבִיעָה. וְלֹא תִתְיַחֵד אִשָּׁה עִמָּהֶן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחֲשׁוּדִין עַל הָעֲרָיוֹת. וְלֹא יִתְיַחֵד אָדָם עִמָּהֶן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחֲשׁוּדִין עַל שְׁפִיכַת דָּמִים. בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא תְיַלֵּד אֶת הַנָּכְרִית, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמְּיַלֶּדֶת בֵּן לַעֲבוֹדָה זָרָה. אֲבָל נָכְרִית מְיַלֶּדֶת בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל. בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא תָנִיק בְּנָהּ שֶׁל נָכְרִית, אֲבָל נָכְרִית מְנִיקָה בְנָהּ שֶׁל יִשְׂרְאֵלִית בִּרְשׁוּתָהּ:
"One may not keep an animal in the inns [befundekaot] of gentiles because they are suspected of bestiality. [Since even gentiles are prohibited from engaging in bestiality, a Jew who places his animal there is guilty of violating the prohibition: “You shall not put a stumbling block before the blind” (Leviticus 19:14)].
And a woman may not seclude herself with gentiles because they are suspected of engaging in forbidden sexual relations. And any person may not seclude himself with gentiles because they are suspected of bloodshed.
A Jewish woman may not deliver the child of a gentile woman, because in doing so she is delivering a child who will engage in idol worship. But one may allow a gentile woman to deliver the child of a Jewish woman. Similarly, a Jewish woman may not nurse the child of a gentile woman, but one may allow a gentile woman to nurse the child of a Jewish woman while the gentile woman is on the Jewish woman’s property."

These are test strip results from early Autumn from my tap water (right) vs the same water filtered through an Hskyhan jug filter from Amazon:
Luckily there is not a lot of Flouride, but more importantly, look at the MPS (Microplastics). Although you may have been told plastics are not electrically conductive, engineers can easily make variations that are, and this could very well be an extreme source of affliction.
Other boxes of interest is the Chlorine (highly poisonous pool water chemical), Bromine (toxic), and Alkalinity (this is apparently good to have) supported by the higher pH.
Also it looks like the filtered water's "Lead" column is a little lighter in its shade of yellow.
I should also note that when I drink excessive water (even bottled/filtered) like how the West is always saying to drown ourselves in 8 cups of water per day H'F', I get a painful feeling like a UTI or something where I have to constantly urinate for about an hour or so H'F'.
Contrarily if I drink a lot of caffeinated soda or coffee with the excuse that its for energy for productivity (or digestion or a bowel movement for coffee) then I generally have no negative side effects unless I overdo it H'F'.
Remember the Mishnah in Avot specifically says that "the way of Torah is water with measure."
Sometimes I get dehydrated H'F' and have to drink half to 2/3 of a bottle at once but then I am usually good for a day to a few







As for meals I usually drink fruit juice or soda since they taste so much better than water again unless I feel dehydrated. If you think that's "childish" maybe we don't want your bitter unpalatable crab apple in our Eternal Garden.
Also in the words of the Rooster (7th call)
בְּקוֹל שְׁבִיעִי אוֹמֵר. עֵת לַעֲשׂוֹת לַיי הֵפֵרוּ תּוֹרָתֶךָ: (תהילים קיט קכו)
In its seventh call, it is saying, “It is time to act for YHVH; for they have made void your Torah.”
-Instead of הֵפֵרוּ תּוֹרָתֶךָ "Heyfeiru", they have made void,
read HaPeiru Toratecha - Their fruit is Your Torah [those who nullify Torah need reminded that it is our ultimate fulfillment and pleasure]
Or just read it as Haperi - The/my fruit is Your Torah
(י and וּ are very visually similar and both are included in HaShem's 4 Letter Name)
My point being why not add the greatest vegetable (metaphor for Torah), the coffee bean to your water and make it hot? And some flower pollen and Gibor (bees are this parable according to Rashi) innards (honey) and cream from the cow, the greatest animal? Many of the diet soda sweeteners and colorings are also derived from plants. (not saying diet sodas aren't potentially toxic but I have been pounding them for years and have had no problems.)
**Just like a bee pricks and dies on you, a Gibor who possesses his/her body will die on you to prick you with witchcraft H'F' -tiny like a bee or a twig
Also is this not including more souls to be ascended with the Berachah since nothing can have independent borders (no matter how small) without having a soul?

Another benefit of hiking and boxing as a workout is that the treacherous double shadowing tazer controlling Erev Rav makes many of the novelties on the spellings of the things you do, touch, see, say, etc (especially if you think about it) appear in the fake game show of our lives somehow H'F'. Therefore boxing can be novelized be-ox. Also hiking, high-king (hiking/walking is Holech in Hebrew and king, Melech). And swinging a metal or wooden bat around, be-AT (Alef-Taf, everything). Also Be/Bi in Hebrew is "Me", so think ביאת Bi-At - I am Alef-Taf.
Now that I think about it, baseball players were generally particularly very good looking relative to other athletes, alluding to the Sefirah of Tiferet, the body, and Avot says the heart includes everything.
I guess this is like the poor desolate idolator reaching his hand into your house from the street (Gehinnom Shebegehinnom) with a useful vessel or Kosher food and you taking it along the lines of Shabbat 1:1 (just don't mentally or verbally accept anything not good, maybe wave him away)

If you have an iphone or ""apple(alling)"" device get it as far away from you as you can as this comes from alon's engineers (I did already know this for months). I got mine out of the closet to get those water test strip pictures. Before putting it back I decided to put all its photos into my laptop and a few minutes after they were uploading I started getting cooked H'F' and wondered why since I have my feet on my copper grounded pipe and didn't see or hear any curses.
I use a Dell laptop and Google Pixel 7 phone although I'm sure they "take their turns" from time to time H'F' or at least someone can probably hack them occasionally. Nevertheless its never too harsh like that iphone was a few minutes ago H'F'. Maybe I should go back to android since my people will probably be kinder lol. I was thinking the definition of google is 1 with 100 zeros so it could mean like a massive Rabbi (Rav means "a lot", so its literally "my source of abundance"). Also Pixel - Picks A-yl.

The sword from eBay came today and it is amazing. My neighbor was having a boar gathering in the street and it immediately silenced all of them and after a minute of swinging around they went inside.
Also I realized the vicious rumbling that has come in my life H'F' has come right after times of watching alon anava's youtube videos where he just piles curses on while giving gleanings of decent Torah. Therefore I brought him up on youtube and gave his had a good wacking and I haven't shaken since B'H'

Although many people sell their leavened bread/5 grain species to gentiles for Pesach, Rambam says this cannot be in Hilchot Matzah 4:
The Torah (Exodus 13:7) states: "No chametz shall be seen for you." Perhaps, if it were buried or entrusted to a gentile, he would not transgress the commandment? The Torah (Exodus 12:19) states: "leaven should not be found in your homes," [implying] even if it is buried or entrusted.
He does say one can do this if he is travelling by ship however. But then says:
However, he cannot sell or give [chametz] to him on condition. If he does so—behold, he transgresses [the prohibitions]: "[leaven] shall not be seen" and "[leaven] shall not be found."
[A person] who possesses a mixture of chametz transgresses [the prohibitions]: "[leaven] shall not be seen" and "[leaven] shall not be found" because of it; for example: pickle-brine, Babylonian kotach, and Median beer, which are made from flour.
[The same applies] to other similar substances which are eaten. However, a substance which contains a mixture of chametz, but is not fit to be eaten, may be kept on Pesach.
Here is the full Sefer from Chabad
5:1
אאֵין אָסוּר מִשּׁוּם חָמֵץ בַּפֶּסַח אֶלָא חֲמֵשֶׁת מִינֵי הַדָּגָן בִּלְבָד—וְהֵם שְׁנֵי מִינֵי חִטִּים, שֶׁהֵן הַחִטָּה וְהַכֻּסֶּמֶת, וּשְׁלֹשֶׁת מִינֵי הַשְּׂעוֹרִים, שֶׁהֵן הַשְּׂעוֹרָה וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שׁוּעָל וְהַשִּׁיפוֹן. אֲבָל הַקִּטְנָיוֹת, כְּגוֹן אֹרֶז וְדֹחַן וּפוֹלִים וַעֲדָשִׁים וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן—אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם חָמֵץ; אֶלָא אֲפִלּוּ לָשׁ קֶמַח אֹרֶז וְכַיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ בְּרוֹתְחִין וְכִסָּהוּ בִּבְגָדִים עַד שֶׁנִּתְפַּח כְּמוֹ בָּצֵק שֶׁהִחְמִיץ—הֲרֵי זֶה מֻתָּר בַּאֲכִילָה, שֶׁאֵין זֶה חִמּוּץ אֶלָא סִרְחוֹן.
1The prohibition against chametz applies only to the five species of grain.1 They include two species of wheat: wheat and spelt; and three species of barley: barley, oats, and rye.2 However, kitniyot—e.g., rice, millet, beans, lentils and the like—do not become leavened.3 Even if one kneads rice flour or the like with boiling water and covers it with fabric until it rises like dough that has become leavened, it is permitted to be eaten. This is not leavening, but rather the decay of the flour.4
2
אאֵין אָסוּר מִשּׁוּם חָמֵץ בַּפֶּסַח אֶלָא חֲמֵשֶׁת מִינֵי הַדָּגָן בִּלְבָד—וְהֵם שְׁנֵי מִינֵי חִטִּים, שֶׁהֵן הַחִטָּה וְהַכֻּסֶּמֶת, וּשְׁלֹשֶׁת מִינֵי הַשְּׂעוֹרִים, שֶׁהֵן הַשְּׂעוֹרָה וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שׁוּעָל וְהַשִּׁיפוֹן. אֲבָל הַקִּטְנָיוֹת, כְּגוֹן אֹרֶז וְדֹחַן וּפוֹלִים וַעֲדָשִׁים וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן—אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם חָמֵץ; אֶלָא אֲפִלּוּ לָשׁ קֶמַח אֹרֶז וְכַיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ בְּרוֹתְחִין וְכִסָּהוּ בִּבְגָדִים עַד שֶׁנִּתְפַּח כְּמוֹ בָּצֵק שֶׁהִחְמִיץ—הֲרֵי זֶה מֻתָּר בַּאֲכִילָה, שֶׁאֵין זֶה חִמּוּץ אֶלָא סִרְחוֹן.
2With regard to these five species of grain: If flour from these species is kneaded with fruit juice alone5 without any water, it will never become leavened. Even if flour is placed in these juices the entire day until the dough rises, it is permitted to be eaten on Pesach,6 for fruit juice does not cause dough to become leavened.7 It merely causes the flour to decay.8 The following are included in the category of fruit juice: wine, milk, honey,9 olive oil, apple juice,10 pomegranate juice and all other similar wines, oils, and beverages.11 This applies so long as no water whatsoever is mixed with them. If any water is mixed with them, they cause the flour to become leavened.12
3 (bonus learning)
בחֲמֵשֶׁת מִינֵי דָּגָן אֵלּוּ, אִם לָשָׁן בְּמֵי פֵּרוֹת בִּלְבָד, בְּלֹא שׁוּם מַיִם בָּעוֹלָם—אֵינָם בָּאִין לִידֵי חִמּוּץ; אֶלָא אֲפִלּוּ הִנִּיחָן כָּל הַיּוֹם עַד שֶׁנִּתְפַּח הַבָּצֵק, הֲרֵי זֶה מֻתָּר בַּאֲכִילָה, שֶׁאֵין מֵי פֵּרוֹת מַחְמִיצִין אֶלָא מַסְרִיחִין. וּמֵי פֵּרוֹת הֵן: כְּגוֹן יַיִן וְחָלָב וּדְבַשׁ וְזַיִת וּמֵי תַּפּוּחִים וּמֵי רִמּוֹנִים וְכָל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן מִשְּׁאָר יֵינוֹת וּשְׁמָנִים וּמַשְׁקִין—וְהוּא, שֶׁלֹּא יִתְעָרֵב בָּהֶן שׁוּם מַיִם בָּעוֹלָם; וְאִם נִתְעָרַב בָּהֶן מַיִם כָּל שֶׁהוּא, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מַחְמִיצִין.
3On Pesach, we should not cook wheat in water13—for example, cracked wheat14—or flour in water—for example, dough balls.15 If one cooks either of the above, they are absolutely chametz.16 This applies17 if the kernels crack open within the dish.18
I wanted to show Rambam's specified 5 species of grains and also that I see it was very good for me to drink juice instead of water to not become too swollen, the whole point being that leavening is a metaphor for arrogance.
In Chabad Yeshivot I remember it was common that everyone would eat bread made with apple juice (all year) even though we would still make a meal on it like bread (and therefore did the rabbinic washing and 4 paragraph benching). Apparently someone (or all/most) was very wise and knowledgeable. Caveid (weighty/important) or Cevad (cleaned/swept), if you will
5:4
It is permissible to cook grain or flour in fruit juice.26 Thus, dough which was kneaded with fruit juice, cooked with fruit juice or fried with oil in a frying pan is permitted, for fruit juice does not cause leavening.27
A good way to make a quick Pesach snack.

These videos often play in my head and I wanted to share to give you all a general idea of how long it takes for a bee to get us through wood H'F' and how long it takes for a wood staff/cane to ground us (although this is very high voltage):
--
It seems like the incestual "to each his own" movement is still ringing in my ears H'F' so I would like to repeat a random Chaveir I heard outside:
"To each his own arm!" (but it was mixed together like oAwRnM)
As in taking an immediate family member (or other incest like aunt etc.) as a spouse is compared to eating one of your limbs.
Take a lesson from the Patriarchs and "move to West Virginia or Alabama" and marry your cousin if you are worried about marrying a stranger.
Again stop saying your clones are not your twins when they are medically synonymous (at least identical twins). If two identical twins (there is a rare concept of mixed sex identical twins) were separated at birth and got married without knowing and found out, they would still obviously have to divorce.
If one is not allowed to marry his regular sister who is genetically varied, why would one be allowed to marry a female nearly identical copy of him? There is a concept of Cal veChomer, "How much more so?"
This is obviously a capital offense and the next cricket to chirp "to each his own" at me H'F' is getting my sword shadow swung at your neck and I will fulfill Tehillim (Psalms) 2:9
תְּ֭רֹעֵם בְּשֵׁ֣בֶט בַּרְזֶ֑ל כִּכְלִ֖י יוֹצֵ֣ר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם
You will break them with a rod of iron (Rashi: the sword), like a potter's vessel you will shatter them.
on you, so help me GOD!!! (as my mother used to say)
Donald Trump is not nor is any government your Rabbi and will not lead you to eternal infinite abundance but rather eternal nothingness H'F'
In the words of HaShem on Dvarim 17:9
וּבָאתָ֗ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם וְאֶ֨ל־הַשֹּׁפֵ֔ט אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִהְיֶ֖ה בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֑ם וְדָרַשְׁתָּ֙ וְהִגִּ֣ידוּ לְךָ֔ אֵ֖ת דְּבַ֥ר הַמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
and appear before the levitical priests, or the magistrate in charge at the time, and present your problem. When they have announced to you the verdict in the case,
Rashi:
ואל השפט אשר יהיה בימים ההם [AND THOU SHALT COME UNTO THE PRIESTS …] AND UNTO THE JUDGE THAT SHALL BE IN THOSE DAYS — The last apparently redundant words suggest: and even though he is not as eminent as other judges that have been before him, you must obey him — you have none else but the judge that lives in your days (i.e. you are only concerned with him) (Rosh Hashanah 25b).
Yes my Tree of Torah may only be 8 years old and I may not have as much wisdom as some sages H'F' yet I am likely the only non intentional sinner (anyone that does a single intentional sin is disqualified as a valid witness) that is a Torah scholar that you know and therefore all that you have
Actually I'm obligating anyone that won't fall on me with my glasses on H'F' to come to my house to study Torah with me and be like Eliezer for me (I have 2 extra rooms an attic and basement and can support you)

Nissan 12
Mishnah Berachot 1:1
מֵאֵימָתַי קוֹרִין אֶת שְׁמַע בְּעַרְבִית. מִשָּׁעָה שֶׁהַכֹּהֲנִים נִכְנָסִים לֶאֱכֹל בִּתְרוּמָתָן, עַד סוֹף הָאַשְׁמוּרָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה
From when do we call the Shema in the evening? From the hour that the Kohanim enter to eat of the sacrificial meat, until the end of the first watch.
Another face on this is that when a person recognizes that it is nightfall (everyone is fallen except him/her H'F'), the Saar, hair (instead of Shaah, hour) meaning the Crown, HaShem's Will, are those that enter to eat of Torah (even real Noahides were compared to High Priests according to the Gemara), until the end, the tail/bottom - those that call Ash-medai (instead of Ashmorah, watch) at once H'F'.
Anyway I brought this up because I think right around nightfall is a great time to shower. I usually shower in the morning or early afternoon but today I got a ton done (in addition to all written from Nissan 11 to today) and didn't shower until 22:00.
Maybe since anointing is like drinking, its like drinking too much water and then getting "bed rot" as the Western kids say (when you just lie in bed despite it being long past the point of being pleasurable) H'F'
Vayikra (Leviticus) 6:5
וְהָאֵ֨שׁ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֤חַ תּֽוּקַד־בּוֹ֙ לֹ֣א תִכְבֶּ֔ה
"And the fire/Eish shall perpetually be upon on the altar - Do not extinguish it/him!"
Sorry I forgot to give context. Here is Bartenura on Mishnah Berachot 1:1, the Crown of the Mishnah:
Kohanim (Priests) who became defiled and immersed [in the Mikveh/Ritual Bath] are not able to eat of the Terumah/heave offering (2% of a yield that a person initially tithes for a Kohen), until after sunset, which is, (at the time) when the stars appear.
Rambam's commentary:
ורצה לומר במה שאמר משעה שהכהנים נכנסין לאכול בתרומתן משעה שיכנסו כהנים טמאים שטבלו לאכול בתרומתן וזה לא יהיה אלא אחר כלות היום
He is saying Nichnasin, enter, is referring to dipping in the Mikvah, as opposed to entering a place to eat the meat.

I was looking to share Rabbi Avigdor Miller's words on weeds where he says they provide the service of water retention in the soil and came across this gem that is either sweet wine of the times or referring to my hometown of Altoona - All too Na(tan). The letter Nun can be novelized as Nachash, snake, and Mashiach has the same gematria as Nachash (358).
Growing up everyone was very hostile and criminal. For example my friend Nick Miller I mentioned above once took me out at night (we were around 14) and stole a bunch of barely valuable objects from people's yards like solar lights and he told me to sell them. That's just how he rebels against the cricket field I guess - like a "snake upon the way" (Genesis 49:17). And as in Numbers: "Behold! I arise to Sat-in (the snake), indeed the way is obnoxious before Me"
The Song of the Mouse:
וְעַכְבָּר אוֹמֵר. וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל כׇּל־הַבָּא עָלַי כִּי־אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲנִי הִרְשָֽׁעְתִּי׃ (ע"פ נחמיה ט לג)
And the Mouse concedes, “You are just for all that comes upon me, for you have acted truthfully, and I have been wicked.”
Either Ohr Somayach's special or Artscroll says on this that mice are considered a wicked animal (maybe quoting the Gemara) since they chew peoples clothes without any benefit. Ohr HaChaim says clean garments are a metaphor for holy souls. So its like people that get off to lashon hara and such vile things H'F'
The snake at least had spiritual pursuits in taking down Adam, that is to become king of the world according to Bahir based on the verse of Adam ruling over the birds, a metaphor for the angels that HaShem made the Sat-n upset about.

In celebration of how epic this eBay sword is I want to post the rest of the Psalm 149 from v 5
יַעְלְז֣וּ חֲסִידִ֣ים בְּכָב֑וֹד יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ עַל־מִשְׁכְּבוֹתָֽם׃
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them shout for joy upon their couches/beds,
רוֹמְמ֣וֹת אֵ֭ל בִּגְרוֹנָ֑ם וְחֶ֖רֶב פִּיפִיּ֣וֹת בְּיָדָֽם׃
with paeans to God in their throats
and double-edged swords in their hands,
לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת נְ֭קָמָה בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם תּ֝וֹכֵח֗וֹת בַּלְאֻמִּֽים׃
to impose retribution upon the nations,
punishment upon the peoples,
לֶאְסֹ֣ר מַלְכֵיהֶ֣ם בְּזִקִּ֑ים וְ֝נִכְבְּדֵיהֶ֗ם בְּכַבְלֵ֥י בַרְזֶֽל׃
binding their kings with shackles,
their nobles with chains of iron,
לַעֲשׂ֤וֹת בָּהֶ֨ם ׀ מִשְׁפָּ֬ט כָּת֗וּב הָדָ֣ר ה֭וּא לְכׇל־חֲסִידָ֗יו הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ {פ}
executing the doom decreed against them.
This is the glory of all His faithful.
Hallelujah.
The last verse supports my logic that "sword" is listed first in the Shabbat war instruments Mishnah on carrying them out since it is the prescribed decree for their deaths.
Some relevant important learning from Mishnah Sanhedren 7 (remember Rambam says all idolators are judged as gentiles where they are almost always judged to be decapitated)
אַרְבַּע מִיתוֹת נִמְסְרוּ לְבֵית דִּין, סְקִילָה, שְׂרֵפָה, הֶרֶג, וָחֶנֶק. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, שְׂרֵפָה, סְקִילָה, חֶנֶק, וָהֶרֶג. זוֹ מִצְוַת הַנִּסְקָלִין:
Four deaths have been entrusted to the court: stoning, burning, slaying [by the sword] and strangulation. R. Simeon says: “burning, stoning, strangulation and slaying.” That (the previous chapter) is the manner of stoning.
מִצְוַת הַנִּשְׂרָפִין, הָיוּ מְשַׁקְּעִין אוֹתוֹ בַזֶּבֶל עַד אַרְכֻּבּוֹתָיו וְנוֹתְנִין סוּדָר קָשָׁה לְתוֹךְ הָרַכָּה וְכוֹרֵךְ עַל צַוָּארוֹ. זֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ אֶצְלוֹ וְזֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ אֶצְלוֹ עַד שֶׁפּוֹתֵחַ אֶת פִּיו, וּמַדְלִיק אֶת הַפְּתִילָה וְזוֹרְקָהּ לְתוֹךְ פִּיו וְיוֹרֶדֶת לְתוֹךְ מֵעָיו וְחוֹמֶרֶת אֶת בְּנֵי מֵעָיו. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף הוּא אִם מֵת בְּיָדָם לֹא הָיוּ מְקַיְּמִין בּוֹ מִצְוַת שְׂרֵפָה, אֶלָּא פוֹתְחִין אֶת פִּיו בִּצְבָת שֶׁלֹּא בְטוֹבָתוֹ וּמַדְלִיק אֶת הַפְּתִילָה וְזוֹרְקָהּ לְתוֹךְ פִּיו וְיוֹרֶדֶת לְתוֹךְ מֵעָיו וְחוֹמֶרֶת אֶת בְּנֵי מֵעָיו. אָמַר רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן צָדוֹק, מַעֲשֶׂה בְּבַת כֹּהֵן אַחַת שֶׁזִּנְּתָה, וְהִקִּיפוּהָ חֲבִילֵי זְמוֹרוֹת וּשְׂרָפוּהָ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה בֵית דִּין שֶׁל אוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה בָּקִי:
The manner in which burning is executed is as follows: They would lower him into dung up to his armpits, then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck, and the two loose ends pulled in opposite directions, forcing him to open his mouth. A wick (of molten lead) was then lit, and thrown into his mouth, so that it descended into his body and burned his bowels. R. Judah says: “Should he have died at their hands [being strangled by the bandage before the wick was thrown into his mouth], they would not have fulfilled the requirements of execution by fire. Rather his mouth was forced open with pincers against his wish, the wick lit and thrown into his mouth, so that it descended into his body and burned his bowels. Rabbi Eleazar ben Zadok said: “It once happened that a priest’s daughter committed adultery, whereupon bundles of sticks were placed around her and she was burnt. The Sages said to him: “That was because the court at that time was not well learned in law.
מִצְוַת הַנֶּהֱרָגִים, הָיוּ מַתִּיזִין אֶת רֹאשׁוֹ בְסַיִף כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהַמַּלְכוּת עוֹשָׂה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, נִוּוּל הוּא זֶה, אֶלָּא מַנִּיחִין אֶת רֹאשׁוֹ עַל הַסַּדָּן וְקוֹצֵץ בְּקוֹפִיץ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, אֵין מִיתָה מְנֻוֶּלֶת מִזּוֹ. מִצְוַת הַנֶּחֱנָקִין, הָיוּ מְשַׁקְּעִין אוֹתוֹ בַזֶּבֶל עַד אַרְכֻּבּוֹתָיו וְנוֹתְנִין סוּדָר קָשָׁה לְתוֹךְ הָרַכָּה וְכוֹרֵךְ עַל צַוָּארוֹ, זֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ אֶצְלוֹ וְזֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ אֶצְלוֹ, עַד שֶׁנַּפְשׁוֹ יוֹצְאָה:
Slaying by the sword was performed thus: they would cut off his head by the sword, as is done by the civil authorities. R. Judah says: “This is a disgrace! Rather his head was laid on a block and severed with an axe. They said to him: “No death is more vile than this.” Strangulation was performed thus: the condemned man was lowered into dung up to his armpits, then a hard cloth was placed within a soft one, wound round his neck, and the two ends pulled in opposite directions until his Nefesh (soul in his blood) becomes Yotzei, goes out.

The following are stoned: He who has sexual relations with his mother, with his father’s wife, with his daughter-in-law, with a male; with a beast; a woman who commits bestiality with a beast; a blasphemer; an idolater; one who gives of his seed to molech; a necromancer or a wizard; one who desecrates the Sabbath; he who curses his father or mother; he who commits adultery with a betrothed woman; one who incites [individuals to idolatry]; one who seduces [a whole town to idolatry]; a sorcerer; and a wayward and rebellious son. He who has sexual relations with his mother incurs a penalty in respect of her both as his mother and as his father’s wife. R. Judah says: “He is liable in respect of her as his mother only.” He who has sexual relations with his father’s wife incurs a penalty in respect of her both as his father’s wife, and as a married woman, both during his father’s lifetime and after his death, whether she was widowed from betrothal or from marriage. He who has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law incurs a penalty in respect of her both as his daughter-in-law and as a married woman, both during his son’s lifetime and after his death, whether she was widowed from betrothal or from marriage. He who has sexual relations with a male or a beast, and a woman that commits bestiality: if the man has sinned, how has the animal sinned? But because the human was enticed to sin by the animal, therefore scripture ordered that it should be stoned. Another reason is that the animal should not pass through the market, and people say, this is the animal on account of which so and so was stoned.
הַמְגַדֵּף אֵינוֹ חַיָּב עַד שֶׁיְּפָרֵשׁ הַשֵּׁם. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן קָרְחָה, בְּכָל יוֹם דָּנִין אֶת הָעֵדִים בְּכִנּוּי יַכֶּה יוֹסֵי אֶת יוֹסֵי. נִגְמַר הַדִּין, לֹא הוֹרְגִים בְּכִנּוּי, אֶלָּא מוֹצִיאִים כָּל אָדָם לַחוּץ וְשׁוֹאֲלִים אֶת הַגָּדוֹל שֶׁבָּהֶן וְאוֹמְרִים לוֹ אֱמֹר מַה שֶּׁשָּׁמַעְתָּ בְּפֵרוּשׁ, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר, וְהַדַּיָּנִים עוֹמְדִין עַל רַגְלֵיהֶן וְקוֹרְעִין וְלֹא מְאַחִין. וְהַשֵּׁנִי אוֹמֵר אַף אֲנִי כָּמוֹהוּ, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי אוֹמֵר אַף אֲנִי כָּמוֹהוּ:
The blasphemer is punished only if he utters [the divine] name. Rabbi Joshua b. Korcha said: “The whole day [of the trial] the witnesses are examined by means of a substitute for the divine name: ‘may Yose smite Yose.’” When the trial was finished, the accused was not executed on this evidence, but all persons were removed [from court], and the chief witness was told, ‘State literally what you heard.’ Thereupon he did so, [using the divine name]. The judges then arose and tore their garments, which were not to be resewn. The second witness stated: “I too have heard thus” [but not uttering the divine name], and the third says: “I too heard thus.”
הָעוֹבֵד עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה, אֶחָד הָעוֹבֵד, וְאֶחָד הַזּוֹבֵחַ, וְאֶחָד הַמְקַטֵּר, וְאֶחָד הַמְנַסֵּךְ, וְאֶחָד הַמִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶה, וְאֶחָד הַמְקַבְּלוֹ עָלָיו לֶאֱלוֹהַּ, וְהָאוֹמֵר לוֹ אֵלִי אָתָּה. אֲבָל הַמְגַפֵּף וְהַמְנַשֵּׁק וְהַמְכַבֵּד וְהַמְּרַבֵּץ וְהַמַּרְחִיץ, הַסָּךְ, הַמַּלְבִּישׁ וְהַמַּנְעִיל, עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה. הַנּוֹדֵר בִּשְׁמוֹ וְהַמְקַיֵּם בִּשְׁמוֹ, עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה. הַפּוֹעֵר עַצְמוֹ לְבַעַל פְּעוֹר, זוֹ הִיא עֲבוֹדָתוֹ. הַזּוֹרֵק אֶבֶן לְמַרְקוּלִיס, זוֹ הִיא עֲבוֹדָתוֹ:
He who engages in idol-worship [is executed]. This includes the one who serves it, sacrifices, offers incense, makes libations, bows to it, accepts it as a god, or says to it, “You are my god.” But he who embraces, kisses it, sweeps or sprinkles the ground before it, washes it, anoints it, clothes it, or puts shoes on it, he transgresses a negative commandment [but is not executed]. He who vows or swears by its name, violates a negative commandment. He who uncovers himself before Baal-Peor [is guilty and is to be stoned for] this is how it is worshipped. He who casts a stone on Merculis [is guilty and is to be stoned for] this is how it is worshipped.
Now here is all of chapter 6 about the stoning procedure:
נִגְמַר הַדִּין, מוֹצִיאִין אוֹתוֹ לְסָקְלוֹ. בֵּית הַסְּקִילָה הָיָה חוּץ לְבֵית דִּין, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא כד) הוֹצֵא אֶת הַמְקַלֵּל. אֶחָד עוֹמֵד עַל פֶּתַח בֵּית דִּין וְהַסּוּדָרִין בְּיָדוֹ, וְאָדָם אֶחָד רוֹכֵב הַסּוּס רָחוֹק מִמֶּנּוּ כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהֵא רוֹאֵהוּ. אוֹמֵר אֶחָד יֶשׁ לִי לְלַמֵּד עָלָיו זְכוּת, הַלָּה מֵנִיף בַּסּוּדָרִין וְהַסּוּס רָץ וּמַעֲמִידוֹ. וַאֲפִלּוּ הוּא אוֹמֵר יֶשׁ לִי לְלַמֵּד עַל עַצְמִי זְכוּת, מַחֲזִירִין אוֹתוֹ אֲפִלּוּ אַרְבָּעָה וַחֲמִשָּׁה פְעָמִים, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיֵּשׁ מַמָּשׁ בִּדְבָרָיו. מָצְאוּ לוֹ זְכוּת, פְּטָרוּהוּ, וְאִם לָאו, יוֹצֵא לִסָּקֵל. וְכָרוֹז יוֹצֵא לְפָנָיו, אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי בֶּן פְּלוֹנִי יוֹצֵא לִסָּקֵל עַל שֶׁעָבַר עֲבֵרָה פְלוֹנִית, וּפְלוֹנִי וּפְלוֹנִי עֵדָיו, כָּל מִי שֶׁיּוֹדֵעַ לוֹ זְכוּת יָבֹא וִילַמֵּד עָלָיו:
When the trial is completed he [the condemned] is led forth to be stoned. The place of stoning was outside of the court, as it is says, “Bring out him that has cursed” (Lev. 24:14). A man was stationed at the door of the court with the handkerchiefs in his hand, and a man on a horse was stationed at a distance yet within sight of him. If one says, ‘I have something [further] to state in his favor’, he [the signaler] waves the handkerchief, and the man on the horse runs and stops them. And even if he [the convict] himself says, ‘I have something to plead in my own favor’, he is brought back, even four or five times, providing, however, that there is substance in his assertion. If then they find him innocent, they discharge him. But if not, he goes forth to be stoned, and a herald precedes him [crying]: so and so, the son of so and so, is going forth to be stoned because he committed such and such an offense, and so and so are his witnesses. Whoever knows anything in his favor, let him come and state it.”

When he is about ten cubits away from the place of stoning, they say to him, ‘confess’, for such is the practice of all who are executed, that they [first] confess, for he who confesses has a portion in the world to come. For so we find in the case of Achan, that Joshua said to him, “My son, pay honor to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. [Tell me what you have done, do not hold anything back from me.]” And Achan answered Joshua and said, “It is true, I have sinned against the Lord the God of Israel, and this is what I have done” (Josh. 7:19-20). And how do we know that his confessions made atonement for him? As it says, “And Joshua said, “What calamity have you brought upon us! The Lord will bring calamity upon you this day” (Josh. 7:35), [meaning] this day you are a calamity, but you are not to be a calamity in the next world. And if he does not know how to confess, they say to him, “Say, may my death be an expiation for all my sins.” Rabbi Judah said: “If he knows that he is a victim of false evidence, he can say: may my death be an expiation for all my sins but this.” They [the sages] said to him: “If so, everyone will speak likewise in order to clear himself.”
הָיָה רָחוֹק מִבֵּית הַסְּקִילָה אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, מַפְשִׁיטִין אוֹתוֹ אֶת בְּגָדָיו. הָאִישׁ, מְכַסִּין אוֹתוֹ מִלְּפָנָיו. וְהָאִשָּׁה, מִלְּפָנֶיהָ וּמֵאַחֲרֶיהָ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, הָאִישׁ נִסְקָל עָרֹם וְאֵין הָאִשָּׁה נִסְקֶלֶת עֲרֻמָּה:
When he is about four cubits distant from the place of stoning, he is stripped of his clothing. A man is covered in front and a woman both in front and behind, according to Rabbi Judah. But the Sages say: “A man is to be stoned naked and a woman is not to be stoned naked.

The place of stoning was twice a man’s height. One of the witnesses pushed him by the hips, [so that] he was overturned on his heart. He was then turned on his back. If that caused his death, he had fulfilled [his duty]; but if not, the second witness took a stone and threw it on his chest. If he died thereby, he had done [his duty]; but if not, he [the criminal] was stoned by all Israel, for it is says: “The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people” (Deut. 17:7). All who are stoned are [afterwards] hanged, according to Rabbi Eliezer. But the sages say: “Only the blasphemer and the idolater are hanged.” A man is hanged with his face towards the spectators, but a woman with her face towards the gallows, according to Rabbi Eliezer. But the sages say: a man is hanged, but not a woman. Rabbi Eliezer said to them: “But did not Shimon ben Shetah hang women at ashkelon?” They said: “[On that occasion] he hanged eighty women, even though two must not be tried on the same day. How is he hanged? The post is sunk into the ground with a [cross-] piece branching off [at the top] and he brings his hands together one over the other and hangs him up [thereby]. R. Jose said: the post is leaned against the wall, and he hangs him up the way butchers do. He is immediately let down. If he is left [hanging] over night, a negative command is thereby transgressed, for it says, “You shall not let his corpse remain all night upon the tree, but you must bury him the same day because a hanged body is a curse against god” (Deut. 21:23). As if to say why was he hanged? because he cursed the name [of god]; and so the name of Heaven [God] is profaned.
אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאָדָם מִצְטַעֵר, שְׁכִינָה מַה הַלָּשׁוֹן אוֹמֶרֶת כִּבְיָכוֹל, קַלַּנִי מֵרֹאשִׁי, קַלַּנִי מִזְּרוֹעִי. אִם כֵּן הַמָּקוֹם מִצְטַעֵר עַל דָּמָם שֶׁל רְשָׁעִים שֶׁנִּשְׁפַּךְ, קַל וָחֹמֶר עַל דָּמָם שֶׁל צַדִּיקִים. וְלֹא זוֹ בִלְבַד, אֶלָּא כָּל הַמֵּלִין אֶת מֵתוֹ, עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה. הֱלִינוֹ לִכְבוֹדוֹ לְהָבִיא לוֹ אָרוֹן וְתַכְרִיכִים, אֵינוֹ עוֹבֵר עָלָיו. וְלֹא הָיוּ קוֹבְרִין אוֹתוֹ בְּקִבְרוֹת אֲבוֹתָיו, אֶלָּא שְׁתֵּי בָתֵּי קְבָרוֹת הָיוּ מְתֻקָּנִין לְבֵית דִּין, אַחַת לַנֶּהֱרָגִין וְלַנֶּחֱנָקִין וְאַחַת לַנִּסְקָלִין וְלַנִּשְׂרָפִין:
R. Meir said: “When man suffers, what expression does the Shechinah (God’s presence) use? “My head is too light (a euphemism for heavy) for me, my arm is too light (a euphemism for heavy) for me.” If God is so grieved over the blood of the wicked that is shed, how much more so over the blood of the righteous! And not only of this one [a criminal did the sages not to leave him overnight] but whosoever lets his dead lie over night transgresses a negative commandment. If he kept him over night for the sake of his honor, to procure for him a coffin or a shroud, he does not transgress. And they did not bury him [the executed person] in his ancestral tomb, but two burial places were prepared by the court, one for those who were decapitated or strangled, and the other for those who were stoned or burned.
נִתְעַכֵּל הַבָּשָׂר, מְלַקְּטִין אֶת הָעֲצָמוֹת וְקוֹבְרִין אוֹתָן בִּמְקוֹמָן. וְהַקְּרוֹבִים בָּאִים וְשׁוֹאֲלִין בִּשְׁלוֹם הַדַּיָּנִים וּבִשְׁלוֹם הָעֵדִים, כְּלוֹמַר שֶׁאֵין בְּלִבֵּנוּ עֲלֵיכֶם כְּלוּם, שֶׁדִּין אֱמֶת דַּנְתֶּם. וְלֹא הָיוּ מִתְאַבְּלִין, אֲבָל אוֹנְנִין, שֶׁאֵין אֲנִינוּת אֶלָּא בַלֵּב:
When the flesh was completely decomposed, the bones were gathered and buried in their proper place. The relatives then came and greeted the judges and witnesses, as if to say, we have no [ill feelings] against you, for you gave a true judgment. And they observed no mourning rites but grieved [for him], for grief is in the heart alone.
Let this be fire to fuel our only free choice, how much we decide to fear Heaven and may Heaven never let any of these examples unfold upon us
'
"When he is about ten cubits away from the place of stoning, they say to him, ‘confess’, for such is the practice of all who are executed, that they [first] confess, for he who confesses has a portion in the world to come."
What a powerful consideration. A witchard etc. that gets caught can easily get a portion of Infinite Life whereas one who does not get caught lives his/her life out doing dusty things (think of playing Runescape or Maplestory [online videogames] if you used to as a kid and get the reference. If not, they are just out learning magic and doing strange related things and fighting each other in the "wilderness" H'F') as their reward and then very commonly cease to be forever (Psalm 49).
Why do I say almost all the time we execute gentiles/idolators by the sword and not all the time?
I remember reading in the book "The Noahide Laws" (that usually quoted Rambam) that there is one other method of execution for gentiles that is a result of some specific sin, maybe it was adultery with a Jewish woman

As for showering on Shabbat and Yom Tov, Rambam says this in Hilchot Shabbat 22:2
מִפְּנֵי מָה אָסְרוּ חֲכָמִים לִכָּנֵס בַּמֶּרְחָץ בְּשַׁבָּת. מִפְּנֵי הַבַּלָּנִין שֶׁהָיוּ מְחִמִּין חַמִּין בְּשַׁבָּת וְאוֹמְרִין מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת הוּחַמּוּ. לְפִיכָךְ גָּזְרוּ שֶׁלֹּא יִכָּנֵס אָדָם לַמֶּרְחָץ בְּשַׁבָּת אֲפִלּוּ לְהַזִּיעַ. וְגָזְרוּ שֶׁלֹּא יִשְׁתַּטֵּף כָּל גּוּפוֹ בְּחַמִּין וַאֲפִלּוּ בְּחַמִּין שֶׁהוּחַמּוּ מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת. אֲבָל פָּנָיו יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו מֻתָּר. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים בְּחַמֵּי הָאוּר גְּזֵרָה מִשּׁוּם מֶרְחָץ. אֲבָל בְּחַמֵּי טְבֶרְיָא וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן מֻתָּר לְהִשְׁתַּטֵּף בָּהֶן כָּל גּוּפוֹ. וְאָסוּר לִרְחֹץ בְּמַיִם חַמִּין שֶׁבַּמְּעָרוֹת מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהַמְּעָרָה יֵשׁ בָּהּ הֶבֶל וְיָבוֹא לִידֵי זֵעָה וְנִמְצֵאת כְּמֶרְחָץ:
Why did the Sages forbid entering a bathhouse on the Sabbath? Because the attendants would heat up water on the Sabbath, and say that it has been heated before the commencement of the Sabbath. For this reason, our Sages decreed that one should not enter a bathhouse on the Sabbath, even to use [merely] as a steam bath.
Similarly, they decreed that a person should not rinse his entire body with hot water - even if the water was heated on Friday. One may, however, wash one's face, hands, and feet [with hot water that was heated before the commencement of the Sabbath]. When do the above [restrictions] apply? To water that is heated by fire. One may, however, rinse one's entire body in the hot springs of Tiberias and the like.
It is forbidden to bathe in hot springs located in caves, for the cave is filled with hot air, and one will sweat [as in a steam bath]. Thus, it resembles a bathhouse.
In Hilchot Yom Tov 1:16 he says:
רְחִיצָה וְסִיכָה הֲרֵי הֵן בִּכְלַל אֲכִילָה וּשְׁתִיָּה וְעוֹשִׂין אוֹתָן בְּיוֹם טוֹב שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות יב טז) "אַךְ אֲשֶׁר יֵאָכֵל לְכָל נֶפֶשׁ" לְכָל שֶׁצָּרִיךְ הַגּוּף. לְפִיכָךְ מְחִמִּין חַמִּין בְּיוֹם טוֹב וְרוֹחֵץ בָּהֶן פָּנָיו יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. אֲבָל כָּל גּוּפוֹ אָסוּר מִשּׁוּם גְּזֵרַת מֶרְחָץ. וְחַמִּין שֶׁהוּחַמּוּ מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב רוֹחֵץ בָּהֶן כָּל גּוּפוֹ בְּיוֹם טוֹב שֶׁלֹּא גָּזְרוּ עַל דָּבָר זֶה אֶלָּא בְּשַׁבָּת בִּלְבַד:
Bathing and anointing oneself are considered in the general category of eating and drinking. They are permitted on a holiday [as indicated by Exodus 12:16]: "Only that [labor] from which all souls will eat [may you perform]" - i.e., all the needs of the body [are permitted].
Therefore, one may heat water on a holiday and wash his hands and feet. It is, however, forbidden to wash one's entire body. This is a decree, *As the Rambam explains in Hilchot Shabbat 22:2, our Sages instituted restrictions against bathing on the Sabbath because the attendants would heat up the water on the Sabbath and claim that they had done so on the preceding day. On holidays, although the rules are more lenient, certain restrictions remain. For a discussion concerning the laws of ritual immersion on a holiday, see the notes on Hilchot Shabbat 23:8.
When water was heated before the commencement of a holiday, one may wash one's entire body with it on the holiday. This was prohibited only on the Sabbath.
Therefore since it is Rabbinic and Rambam says one has to shower once every other day at least (and we are about to enter a Shabbat then 2-day Yom Tov rest), don't worry about not showering on Yom Tov (just don't squeeze any water out of your hair or the towel). Also since Rambam agrees with the Gra about bathing and anointing being like drinking and eating even, one is allowed to cook food from a pre existing flame (you can increase it into a fire - not an electric plate though) during Yom Tov. See this Aish article for more details
Actually if you have a standard hot water tank even with a constant pilot light, I think one should only take one shower (and as needed if one is worried of idolators) on Yom Rishon, Sunday (make sure to get one Friday afternoon in) in order to fulfill the Mitzvah of not becoming vile by not being able to shower for 3 full days H'F' since the pilot light lights a larger fire that actually will definitely extinguish itself.
When a Mitzvah is constant, is overrules a Mitzvah that is less often. Therefore I think the obligation is Biblical from Rambam to bathe or shower at least every other day based on the verse "You shall not make yourselves detestable". If not you become extremely offensive to people's (and your own) noses - it could even be like assault to force someone to smell your body odor H'F'.
G-d Willing soon we will all have Shabbat and Yom Tov hot tubs with the abundance of wealth and technology creating free labor through solar powered (or other free energy) humanoid robots.

Berakchot 64a
וְאָמַר רַבִּי אָבִין הַלֵּוִי: הַנִּפְטָר מֵחֲבֵרוֹ אַל יֹאמַר לוֹ ״לֵךְ בְּשָׁלוֹם״, אֶלָּא ״לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם״, שֶׁהֲרֵי יִתְרוֹ שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ לְמֹשֶׁה ״לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם״, עָלָה וְהִצְלִיחַ. דָּוִד שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ לְאַבְשָׁלוֹם ״לֵךְ בְּשָׁלוֹם״, הָלַךְ וְנִתְלָה.
And Rabbi Avin HaLevi said: One who takes leave from another should not say to him: Go in peace, but rather, he should say: Go to peace. As we see that, on the one hand, Jethro said to Moses: “Go to peace” (Exodus 4:18), and Moses ascended and was successful. On the other hand, David said to his son, Absalom: “Go in peace” (II Samuel 15:9), and Absalom went and was ultimately hanged.
Although before GoDaddy took down my old site AishDaat I wrote based on Tehillim not to greet sinners in HaShem's name, I think this is the best way to help people repent when departing since it can be novelized Go [back] to Peace! (a Name of HaShem) Repent!

I saw one man a few days ago say on MiYodea that the Biblical prohibition only applies to like a sourdough starter since todays leavening agents aren't made from the 5 grains (although I saw one of the more authentic sites [Chabad or Aish etc] say that since the verse is repeated, all leavening is Biblical)
It made me think of those people that have decade or generations old sourdough starters. Since the spiritual reason is to get rid of our arrogance, (a metaphor for "swelling" up like bread opposed to Matzah), they are probably holding on to many years of spiritual arrogance they will hopefully soon free themselves of if they haven't already. I also saw one person quote Rashi who holds by Rabbi Yehudah who apparently says it has to be burnt (although we saw Rambam does not hold this way as he said as long as it is inedible even to a dog). Therefore I think its extremely important to follow the custom of keeping at least 10 pieces (metaphor for wholeness, completion, all 10 Sefirot of Creation) to burn tomorrow before Shabbat if one can.
Also I said about making juice Matzot during Pesach but the flour would also need to be Shemurah, guarded.
Here is a guide from OU of what you need to burn, make vile and bury, flush, or dispose in a public trash can

Nissan 13
I read in the Gemara yesterday that one has to make sure one's water kettle is cleaned for Shabbat so that the old food/residue doesn't turn into coals and cook.
Also if you didn't know, if you didn't prepare coffee before Shabbat for the kettle and only have hot water, the proper way to brew it is to use instant coffee and first put the hot water in a cup by itself and then pour it into the cup with coffee half/half honey etc. In this way, by pouring the water into a Kli Rishon (first vessel) and then Kli Sheni (second), it cools the hot water enough to where it isn't considered cooking the coffee, just dissolving it.
**Make sure the cups do not have leftover water from previous times.
Here is a website (added to list at top) to convert Youtube videos to mp3 and download them to not have to see any images and also to repeat a playlist on Shabbat instead of a single video: https://cnvmp3.com/v23

It is said that shungite is a "grounding stone" although Western science again says this is pseudoscience. I tested the Ohms (electrical resistance) of different gemstones, metals, and shungite. The metals had no resistance as expected and the resistance of the other ~10 random gemstones was too high to measure (even quartz). The shungite, though, gives random measurements of Ohms (the more or bigger the rocks the higher the resistance) until it becomes perfectly conductive like metal.
Therefore wearing shungite jewelry or having these stones in your pockets (maybe not polyester or other artificial materials) will give you a few seconds of warning as the wizards calibrate to your energy/electrical field that includes the shungites. -the more and larger the better.
(maybe after Pesach I will upload a video)
The richer heathens can taze us more directly so this is more for "long range attacks" from the more desolate ones. However I've found that the more desolate ones are much more brutal in their witchcraft since the richer ones are sweetened with their possessions etc.

Pirkei Avot gives the proper learning schedule for children -
5:20-22
יְהוּדָה בֶן תֵּימָא אוֹמֵר, הֱוֵי עַז כַּנָּמֵר, וְקַל כַּנֶּשֶׁר, וְרָץ כַּצְּבִי, וְגִבּוֹר כָּאֲרִי, לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹן אָבִיךָ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמָיִם. הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, עַז פָּנִים לְגֵיהִנֹּם, וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנִים לְגַן עֵדֶן. יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ שֶׁתִּבְנֶה עִירְךָ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְתוֹרָתֶךָ:
Judah ben Tema said: Be strong as a leopard, and swift as an eagle, and fleet as a gazelle, and brave as a lion, to do the will of your Father who is in heaven. He used to say: the arrogant is headed for Gehinnom and the blushing for the garden of Eden. May it be the will, O Lord our God, that your city be rebuilt speedily in our days and set our portion in the studying of your Torah.
הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, בֶּן חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים לַמִּקְרָא, בֶּן עֶשֶׂר לַמִּשְׁנָה, בֶּן שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה לַמִּצְוֹת, בֶּן חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה לַתַּלְמוּד, בֶּן שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לַחֻפָּה, בֶּן עֶשְׂרִים לִרְדֹּף, בֶּן שְׁלשִׁים לַכֹּחַ, בֶּן אַרְבָּעִים לַבִּינָה, בֶּן חֲמִשִּׁים לָעֵצָה, בֶּן שִׁשִּׁים לַזִּקְנָה, בֶּן שִׁבְעִים לַשֵּׂיבָה, בֶּן שְׁמֹנִים לַגְּבוּרָה, בֶּן תִּשְׁעִים לָשׁוּחַ, בֶּן מֵאָה כְּאִלּוּ מֵת וְעָבַר וּבָטֵל מִן הָעוֹלָם:
He used to say: At five years of age the study of Scripture; At ten the study of Mishnah; At thirteen subject to the commandments; At fifteen the study of Talmud; At eighteen the bridal canopy; At twenty for pursuit [of livelihood]; At thirty the peak of strength; At forty wisdom; At fifty able to give counsel; At sixty old age; At seventy fullness of years; At eighty the age of “strength”; At ninety a bent body; At one hundred, as good as dead and gone completely out of the world.
בֶּן בַּג בַּג אוֹמֵר, הֲפֹךְ בָּהּ וַהֲפֹךְ בָּהּ, דְּכֹלָּא בָהּ. וּבָהּ תֶּחֱזֵי, וְסִיב וּבְלֵה בָהּ, וּמִנַּהּ לֹא תָזוּעַ, שֶׁאֵין לְךָ מִדָּה טוֹבָה הֵימֶנָּה:
Ben Bag Bag said: Turn it over, and [again] turn it over, for all is therein. And look into it; And become gray and old therein; And do not move away from it, for you have no better portion than it.

It seems the Mishnah disagrees with Rambam who says a man should get a job, then house, based on interpreting a verse in reverse order (I will come back and get the source)
When I was in a religious community in Har Nof, Jerusalem in Yeshivah, I learned that after a marriage, the husband and wife should stay home together for a year and the family or community should support them.
Therefore I would guess that the family or otherwise community should ideally support them for two years (and these are financially unabundant times H'F') if he isn't supposed to get a job until 20.
**Its also important to note that women are obligated in their Mitzvot a year earlier at 12.

Rambam rules that the principle of nullification of 1 in 60 does not apply to Chametz on Pesach because it falls under the principle in the Gemara in Beitzah 3b that something that will become permitted later but is currently prohibited is therefore prohibited until it will become permitted. The example here is if your chicken lays an egg on Yom Tov you have to wait until the next day to eat it (since you were not prepared for it before the Holy Day), but it will always be permitted then.
אִי אָמְרַתְּ בִּשְׁלָמָא סָפֵק יוֹם טוֹב סָפֵק חוֹל, הָוֵי דָּבָר שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מַתִּירִין, וְכׇל דָּבָר שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מַתִּירִין — אֲפִילּוּ בְּאֶלֶף לֹא בָּטֵיל
"...it is a thing that there is to it permittance, and any thing that there is to it permittance, even in a thousand it is not nullified."
I prefer Rabbi Mordechai ben Hillel's seasoning (logic) [see OU's article here] that since the Chametz will become prohibited next Pesach, it does not fall under Mashehu (the small amount not being nullified).
Why?
The later part of the statement from the Gemara can be understood as "and when there is permittance to the entire thing, even in a thousand it is not nullified"
or "And [when] the entire thing (forbidden mixture) will be permitted"
Therefore the >1/60 Chametz mixture accidentally added on Pesach, although indeed it will be permitted in the next week, it will be prohibited in 51 more weeks at the start of the next Pesach, and especially since 1 in 51 is less than 1 in 60 and therefore considered significant, we cannot say that there is permittance to the entire thing [mixture] - it has its stringencies still.

Dvarim 33:20
וּלְגָ֣ד אָמַ֔ר בָּר֖וּךְ מַרְחִ֣יב גָּ֑ד כְּלָבִ֣יא שָׁכֵ֔ן וְטָרַ֥ף זְר֖וֹעַ אַף־קׇדְקֹֽד׃
"And of Gad he said:
Blessed be the One who enlarges Gad!
Poised is he like a lion
To tear off arm and head [in one swing]."
After swinging my sword around for a few days now, I've realized that the best method (if someone is fighting back) is to swing with diagonal dashes (/ \ / \) like a figure 8. A vertical strike could be side stepped and a horizontal can be dodged by thrusting the torso back like the letter C or Chaf (C---) like you saw in cartoon sword fights. Therefore you would cut off a person's head and arm at once like this verse.
According to ChatGPT the "Figure 8 Sword Technique" is a real authentic style where one just keeps swinging in a figure 8. Another hint to this is the letter אָ Alef. Its saying: Use the figure 8 sword technique and/or strike to kill diagonally, the same message as the letter "X".

YirimiY-h 8:11
וַיְרַפּ֞וּ אֶת־שֶׁ֤בֶר בַּת־עַמִּי֙ עַל־נְקַלָּ֔ה לֵאמֹ֖ר שָׁל֣וֹם ׀ שָׁל֑וֹם וְאֵ֖ין שָׁלֽוֹם׃
"And they offer false healing to the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, Saying: ‘Peace, peace’, when there is no peace."
This can be applied to the "rabbis" that focus on rabbinic injunctions, the same message as YeshaY-Hu 29:13
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲדֹנָ֗י יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י נִגַּשׁ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה בְּפִ֤יו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו֙ כִּבְּד֔וּנִי וְלִבּ֖וֹ רִחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי וַתְּהִ֤י יִרְאָתָם֙ אֹתִ֔י מִצְוַ֥ת אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מְלֻמָּדָֽה׃
"My Sovereign said:
Because that people has approached [Me] with its mouth
And honored Me with its lips,
But has kept its heart far from Me,
And its worship of Me has been
A social obligation, *social obligation Lit. “commandment of men.” learned by rote—"
This generation is 5785 years from Adam and is swallowed in darkness. The people need to focus on the actual Biblical Mitzvot and not leave their homes 3 times a day every day to get eaten like bread in a zombie "Minyan"

Why do I skip around the Torah instead of stick to a daily learning schedule? Once in Yeshivat Dvar YiruShalayim, I was wondering what to learn and an older Chasid told me to learn whatever my heart was drawing me towards. I have tried sticking to the Daf Yomi schedule and even learned all of Bavli Berachot this way, but I find it makes learning more into a chore like going to the gym and makes my "Har Sinai", as in Thoughts of Hatred to climb in order to enjoy Torah, or the Cherubim with the ever turning sword in the way of Gan Eden (see the beginning of Bereisheit) much stronger.
Additionally, I often see Bavli Berachot quoted and even go back to it myself to see things I completely forgot or maybe read without absorbing H'F'. On the other hand, the Torah that I learned from my own curiosity sticks with me much better. Nevertheless I still try to equally pull from Tanakh, Mishnah/Halacha, and Gemara like the Torah instructs.

Considering The Mordechai's superior logic (in my opinion) to the Rambam on 1 in 60 being nullified even in Chametz, and also the fact that it costs additional money for companies to be Kosher for Pesach certified that they can only profit on for one week out of the year, I think it is reasonable to use one's judgement for groceries as long as only basic ingredients are listed ("natural flavors" could be anything including the 5 species of grain and would probably need a phone or email inquiry) and its not specified that it may contain wheat etc., since then it would be intentionally/knowingly added
(although according to this Star-K article it wouldn't matter even if they intentionally added 1/60 of wheat since they are gentile owned companies)

If you are a JAP (Jewish-American-Prince or Princess) and wondering why you never found your Prince/Princess (including me), maybe its since we weren't following the stringencies of Guarded Matzah according to Rambam H'F' and HaShem didn't want our Bread of Salvation, where we leave an unjoyful life as in Yevamot 62B;
Rabbi Tanḥum said that Rabbi Ḥanilai said: Any man who does not have a wife is left without joy, without blessing, without goodness. He proceeds to quote verses to support each part of his statement. He is without joy, as it is written: “And you shall rejoice, you and your household” (Deuteronomy 14:26), which indicates that a man is in a joyful state only when he is with his household, i.e., his wife. He is without blessing, as it is written: “To cause a blessing to rest in your house” (Ezekiel 44:30), which indicates that blessing comes through one’s house, i.e., one’s wife. He is without goodness, as it is written: “It is not good that man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18), i.e., without a wife.
[How much more so a woman? Since the Bahir says a woman is naturally colder and warmed up by the man]
Therefore HaShem did not want to give us yeast-water (a metaphor for wisdoms from the vile kingdom of evil) infected bread as our eternal food.
Fortunately, since "the end of a matter is everything", if you didn't hear me and didn't order Shmurah Matzah there is still almost a week to order it.
Why do I assume it got wet if not guarded according to the verse "You shall guard the Matzot" like Rambam? As mentioned many times the West is called the "land of the flying treacherous shadow" in Isaiah 18:1. As soon as you turn your back even in your own house one is likely there conspiring H'F' if you haven't noticed, may G-d quickly save us!
Fortunately since nowadays the Matzot are thin crackers, the modern sages teach that it is very unlikely that there is any unbaked flour in them that could become leavened when exposed to water. Matzah in liquids is called
Gebrokts - this is an article about it.

I've decided to use the domain AyshDat.com to start another apple tree but this site will be a living/growing translation and commentary on Tanakh from start to finish and then Mishnah, Gemara, and so on.

Make sure to count the Omer!!
You can see in Rambam's words here on this and make sure to do it standing and don't bless on yesterday's if you missed it.

Shemot 14:14 - Yad:Yad (Hand:Hand)
יְהֹוָ֖ה יִלָּחֵ֣ם לָכֶ֑ם וְאַתֶּ֖ם תַּחֲרִשֽׁוּן
HaShem will wage war for you (alt. upon you). And you, be an artisan (in Torah) and be mute and deaf like an earthenware vessel, and you will plow this way
About this verse (because it is 14:14, as in "strong hand" since both hands are included in the right) we can apply Shemot (Exodus [from slavery]) 13:14
בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֗ד הוֹצִיאָ֧נוּ יְהֹוָ֛ה מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם מִבֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים
"With the power of the hand HaShem brings us forth from Egypt, from the house of slavery"
