Anash.org claims to bring Vareme, Chassidishe news so we don’t have to see Loshon Hora on other sites.
I come here to see negative undertones in an article which didn’t make a single point in the direction of the Rebbe’s Horo’es on what to do in these times.
Yes it’s bad, but we need to strengthen our Bitachon, not the opposite Rachmono Litzlan!
You’d be doing yourselves a favour by taking it down and forgetting you ever posted it!
I don’t think Rabbi Cohen Sheyichye actually read this entire article and approved it, Hayitochen that you write he’s on the Vaad Ruchni, that’s complete Harome and G’neivas Daas.

I think that might help the world a little.

We can “mach doh Eretz Yisroel” by teaching the sheva mittzvos and strengthening Torah observance.

The writer is right. The future of this country seems bleak, especially because of those who espouse beliefs against the sheva mitzvos. Look at what this month is referred to in the media- nothing to be proud of.,. Thank G-d the President today used his audacity to stop health protections for those who deny that G-d gave people their gender The Rebbe talked about promoting the sheva mitzvos.. America’s upholding of the sheva mitzvos is very weak among some. factions, such as the democratic party. While we should have bitachon, we also have to see what we can do to promote the sheva mitzvos, which as this time, is very challenging.

Thank you Mendel for posting the video from JEM. Anyone who read this article should take the time to watch the video to learn the Rebbe’s approach to these matters.

I was pretty surprised that anash.org posted this as well. Though I agree with some of the points mentioned.
The politics even if correct, and the negative tone “past nisht” for this website.

I really recommend watching this video. I just watched it recently and I really think it’s an incredible presentation (amongst many others from JEM) of the Rebbe’s and the Torah’s (which is obviously one) view on the subject.
A shoutout to JEM for the truly truly incredible work you do. Amazing. May you go from strength to strength!

One policeman commits a crime and they blame all the police and most of white people!!
It’s ridiculous!!
They should all be demonstrating against criminals and criminal activity!!!
What is this showing the youth of today?
If you commit crimes it pays off!!!
Floyd was in the midst of committing a crime, he was high on drugs, and resisting arrest!
He should not have been chocked to death and the cop will pay for it.
But to make this criminal into a saint is ludicrous!
The demonstrators are using this unfortunate incident to destroy business, rob and loot stores!!!
Where were all these ‘caring’ demonstrators when a black couple slaughtered Jews at the lighting of the Chanukah Menorah!
They also killed a policemen!
Wake up everyone!
This is only an excuse to destroy our democracy!
May Hashem protect us!!!

The Rebbe never allowed predictions of such negative proportions

Therefore I think that, on one hand we should be prepared for events using natural means. On the other hand, Jews are inherently above nature (in times of Purim, our salvation was above nature, as Reb Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin Sheyichyeh points out in his Shaar HaBitachon Shiurim on the Aleph Beis Gimmel web site). Therefore, I think our primary weapon must be to have Emuna and Bitachon in Hashem that He’ll take good care of us, and **not** harbor worry and fear about what it seems like could happen according to nature.

]]> By: Anonymous https://anash.org/our-past-and-the-future/#comment-932 Sun, 14 Jun 2020 19:31:22 +0000 https://anash.org/?p=138209#comment-932 This is very powerful. Let us pray and al pi teva VOTE. I am praying that askanim or whoever Hashem chooses as Shluchim will help insure that shomrei Shabbos register to vote and make sure to vote in even minor seeming elections, including voting by mail and transferring our voting places to a new district if we’ve moved, plus the poll sites need monitoring so that shomrei Shabbos (and everyone) are allowed to vote (I remember a presidential election when Obama was elected where plenty of people who arrived well before the polls closed were turned away when still on crowded line after polls closed) and also that there is fairness and privacy at the polling place and in terms of voting by mail. We shomrei Shabbos are so busy, and politics is not our priority. Among the askanim or other fitting Shluchim it is actually appropriate for voting drives, perhaps in coordination with Rabbonim as al pi teva histadlus. For example, councilman Corey Johnson needs to be voted out (that’s “just” NYC) he ended up being a shaliach to adversely impact Yidden and human beings’ access at healing in the private therapy room as per anash.org’s reporting regarding the valiant chosid Dr. Dovid Schwart’s victory etc. Things like defunding the police is actually governmental looting from taxpayers in my opinion, and I’m none too please that my neighbor, a widow, couldn’t get gas put back in having done reconstruction on her home with permits etc because of hairbrained environmental regulation which just means more use of electricity (for cooking and even clothing dryer!) We need to vote. We are many eighteen plus per household.

While this article is true, it is not appropriate for your website as your goal is to spread good news that is appropriate for Lubavitchers and this article just promotes fear and forgets to mention trust in Hashem and make a shturem to bring Moshiach. As a loyal reader, I would like to request that you turn to Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin for a response to the article. People (and I mean myself) need to be encouraged to have more Bitachon during this time.
Thank you

Everything is in the hands of Hashem, but clearly if we are supposed to be a Kingdom of priests and a light to the nations we have to do some serious self examination as to why things have deteriorated to this point & so swiftly. Rabbi Z. Wallerstein has also recommended that Jews consider leaving this country if at all possible.
