Be Aware of Hashem



What’s the purpose that Hashem does sometimes things that are contradictory to [His} principles of kindliness? The answer is there is a great kindliness that’s paramount. And that’s the kindliness called yiras Hashem — to be afraid of Hashem. The greatest achievement that a man can accomplish in his lifetime is yiras Hashem. Now pay attention: Yiras Hashem means to be aware of the presence of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The more you’re aware, the more successful you are. — The Wine of Prayer (#555)

Mr. President!



Protection and Preservation of the AmazĂ´nia [Amazon] and Pantanal.

DEFORESTATION, BIOPIRACY, LOSS OF HUMAN RIGHTS!!!

There is Devastation of forests, trafficking of animals, Biopiracy and Loss of rights on the side of indigenous inhabitants, even if we do not realize on the day by day the direct effects to us, we should pay attention to illegal exploitation in the Amazon and Pantanal, is a fact not much discussed by political and little prolonged repercussion in the media.

We Brazilians who had the merit that God has given us to represent the Amazon and Pantanal, very little we done to protect natural resources, forests and animals and also due care to the people living there.

It would be nice to make a new agenda, present ideas, plans and laws that can actually work for the protection, preservation because is good for Brazil and around the world, for this generation and for future generations.

Letter to Mr. Interim President of Brazil Michel Temer.


Best regards,

Rebbe Nachman teaching: Don’t lose out because of anger








It would be proper for all Israel to have wealth, but there is one trait that interferes and causes them to lose it. The trait in question is a very bad and lowly trait from which it is very difficult to escape. Sometimes a person wants to escape this trait out of a desire for wealth itself, so as not to lose money, but even so this evil trait attacks him from childhood, causing him to lose the money he should have had.

The evil trait that causes a person to lose the money he should have had is anger. The reason for this is that at its very root and spiritual source, wealth is in the same category as anger. Thus when the evil one sees a flow of influence descending to bring wealth to a person, he turns it into anger, because, at their root, anger and wealth are in the same category: they both descend from God’s mighty powers, deriving from the same place. “From the north comes forth gold” (Job 37:22) and “The evil will start from the north” (Jeremiah 1:14).

Wealth is a “wall” (chOmah) while anger (chEYmah) ruins the wall. Thus when the evil one sees that a flow of wealth – chOmah, a “wall” – is being sent to a person – he turns this flow into anger, sending something to make the person angry. Thus the “wall”, choMah, is ruined because of the anger, chEYmah. Since anger and wealth are at root one category, the evil one can easily turn the flow of wealth into anger.

And know that even if the descending influence has already reached a person and turned into actual wealth, a “wall”, the evil one can still sometimes tempt the person to become so enraged that he loses even his existing money and wealth. One might have thought that after the blessing has already reached him and turned into wealth, it would be impossible for the evil one to turn it back into anger. The wealth should have been a “wall” protecting him from the evil one and preventing him from succumbing to anger, which is the opposite of a “wall”. Yet the evil one has the power to attack a person with such great anger that he loses even the money he already has.

May God guard and save us from this despicable trait! Amen.
