Shalom Rabbi, I have two question, on our 1st class of Yoreh Deah II - Book of melachim : • What is the point for Hashem to appoint Eliyahu Ha Navi to visit all Jewish home every motzei shabbat, and to visit every Jewish Cirmumcission ? • After the revolution of Yerovam ben Nevat, and he caused the Northern kingdom people to idolatry, does the people of northern kingdom have the choice to move to southern, as not to involve with the idolatry ? Thank you so much in advance, Rabbi.

Welcome to all! Here you can post your questions.

The Jewish people kept the light of Hashem shining in the darkness of paganism, be it Christian, Moslem or otherwise, for thousands of years. If we now in 2024 think the Torah is the Truth and wonderful and should be studied and we have the luxury of zoom conferences with learned and sympathetic rabbis it is because the Jewish people withstood millenia of murder, vicious persecution, social humiliations, insults and mockery, but kept the Jewish Faith and Culture alive. Bertolt Brecht's comic satire on the rise of Nazism, "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui" ends with the Hitler character peeling off his stage moustache, turning to the audience and prophesying: "Do not rejoice is his defeat, you men, For the bitch that bore him is on heat again." Isn't this what we are seeing now? Forget the sinister Hugo Boss uniforms of the Nazi party - so 1936! Now it is academics, liberal-left politicians and self-appointed "international" courts turning on the Jews - the very people who supported the State of Israel in the 1940s are now supporting the most oppressive and deadly regimes on earth! Who could have predicted such a complete inversion? But this bizarre situation is telling us that Truth lies in the Torah, not in human ideas which are fickle and deceitful. All Noahides who are willing should make clear their absolute support for Medinat Yisrael and Am Yisrael in this time of great trial for all Jews. Remember, this is only the beginning. Much worse is to follow.
