I also have made a special two-part lesson on REINCARNATION IN THE TORAH AND BIBLE. This lesson is only available in MP3... Again, more cool stuff, teaching Torah HaGilgul in a classical, yet, refreshing new way...

My lessons on Isaiah also now include the famous chapter 53, discussing the Suffering Servant and chapter 54, which speaks of the rebuilding of the people after the exile. Both of these, and indeed the entire series, contain a wealth of information that is of great value. They are all available in both CD and MP3.

Pray for the peace of Israel, world-wide Jewry, the United States and us all. We have now turned a corner in human history and have chosen a course towards destiny. The path has been chosen, now we will all have to walk it. May Heaven be with the righteous! My dear readers, time is running out fast; the sleepers must awaken now!

Dawn Thoughts
By HaRav Ariel Bar Tzadok. Copyright (c) 2008 by Ariel Bar Tzadok. All rights reserved.
There is a time and a purpose for all things under Heaven. Life is an ever-flowing cycle of movement. We tend to forget this. Whatever goes up must come down. This is only natural. Heaven ordains all things, be they great or small.

Nothing happens by chance. Evil too exists for a purpose and will only perform that which it is ordained to do. Evil can nothing more than what Heaven ordains. Thus those who fear evil miss the point. Evil is but a tool in the Higher Hand. One should instead fear the Hand and the even Greater Mind that wields it.

There is nothing other than the One. All came forth from the One and all will return to it. In the middle all is still connected to and controlled by the One. There is no other, however appearances may be.

Yes, the great cycle of life is in movement. That which was once up will soon topple down. That which was down will again ascend to the heights of power. This is the Divine Way. No one can prevent it.

One may pray as one wishes. Yet, one's prayers should always be that the Will of Heaven be accomplished. Anyone praying for their own desires that may contradict the Way of Heaven should know that such prayers will not be answered in the affirmative.

Suffering is as much a part of life as is enjoyment. We choose what it is we enjoy and often we choose how it is we will suffer.

That which is passing must be allowed to pass. Those who wish to cling to the dying past will die along with that past. This is not the Will of Heaven. Torah teaches us to choose life, therefore we must embrace only that which brings us life eternal.

We must not allow ourselves to be so foolish as to confuse the life of the moment for the life eternal. They are not the same and often they are contradictory.

One cannot have everything the way one wants, regardless of what one believes about Heaven or proclaims in the Name of G-d.

We are now in a period of great changes. The wise who see the times will recognize this and let loose all that which is dying and instead embrace that which is the new. Yet, beware, not all that is new brings life. There is that in both the old and new that bring both life and death. We must embrace life in all its forms and detach from death in all its forms; for death is destined to pass, as is the natural order of things as ordained by the Way of Heaven.

Do not be confused. Do not allow your many thoughts to lead you astray. Do not allow the desires of your hearts to keep you attached to the old and dying.

In order to see clearly, you will have to close your eyes. In order to hear the truth you will have to stop listening to others who hear not the still Inner Voice. In order to know in your heart what is right, you will have to stop being swayed by the feelings of attachment.

You will know what is right and true when you are clam, balanced and at peace. When your mind and heart are still, only then will you see the truth within. But beware; you may not like what you see. Yet, see, you will! Do not deny what you will learn to be true. Accept it, however hard, embrace it and honor it. In this way you honor Heaven and serve G-d.

Do what you know you must. Do not allow your fears to lead you to denial. This is the path of loss, suffering and eventual death. This is a path that many will choose and all who do so are foolish.

Live life! Cast away the old with all its burdens and pressure. Embrace the new. Move along with it. Flow along the currents of life. Allow them to take you to the place where the earth meets the sky, to the place where the Heavenly Temple will again appear in our space.

No, the world is not coming to an end. All that is ending is the current chapter. Chapters always end in a crescendo of movement. The new chapter is beginning. New chapters always begin softly and without too much fanfare. This is the Way of things. So, let it be.
