During his relatively short <br />life, he wrote approximately 60 books (!)<br />about Torah topics, including the English <br />translation of <i>Yalkut Meam Loez</i>, <br />which is around 20 hardcover volumes. <br /><br />He was listed in <i>THE WHO’S WHO OF AMERICAN PHYSICS</i>.<br /><br />===================================<br /><br />Since Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan (ZTL, ZYA) <br />taught that in the era before the <br />messiah, the Jews in the Land of Israel <br />would only have partial independence, <br />or partial sovereignty, there is no point <br />in complaining about Israel sometimes <br />bowing before other nations, <br />nor is there any point in blaming <br />a Prime Minister for melting before <br />those who hate us, because that <br />is exactly what is supposed to happen <br />to Jews in the era before the messiah, <br />in the land of Israel.<br /><br /><b>PLEASE CONSIDER THESE:</b><br /><br />How can we expect G_d to grant Israel <br />complete sovereignty, when there is a <br />so-called “gay pride parade” every year in Israel?<br /><br />How can we expect G_d to grant Israel <br />complete independence, when most Jews <br />in Israel <b>DO NOT</b> observe <i>Shabbat</i>?<br /><br />How can we expect G_d to grant Israel <br />respect from other nations, when Israel’s <br />universities are dominated by atheist <br />professors, who ridicule belief in Torah?<br /><br />===================================<br />The Biblical Book of Jeremiah, <br />end of chapter 17, teaches:<br /><br />If Jews observe <i>Shabbat</i> [the Jewish Sabbath]<br />then Jerusalem will be ruled by Jews forever<br />(Jeremiah, chapter 17, verses 24 to 25). <br /><br />But if Jews <b>DO NOT</b> observe <i>Shabbat</i>,<br />then the Land of Israel [literally, Jerusalem] will<br />burn with <b>FIRE</b> (verse 27, last verse of chapter).<br /><br />===================================<br />Since most Jews <b>DO NOT</b> observe <i>Shabbat</i>,<br />both inside and outside the Land of Israel, <br />maybe this explains why there are so problems <br />with Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem.<br /><br />Since most Jews <b>DO NOT</b> observe <i>Shabbat</i>,<br />both inside and outside the Land of Israel, <br />maybe this explains why there are so many <br /><b>FIRES</b> in the Land of Israel.Mr. Cohenhttp://shilohmusings.blogspot.com/2016/08/rambam-rejected-childless-messiah-by-mr.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
