DP Frequency

DP Frequency

Recently, I have been reminded about the importance of sharing stories of open and revealed Divine providence momants. Some of you have heard me refer to it as DP frequency. You can click here to read more about it.
Here is one fresh off the press: This past Wednesday our son Mendel, began his travels returning home from France to be with us for Passover (yey). B”H he arrived safe and secure. It has been many months of not seeing each other we had so much to catch up on, but first my son said to me, "Tatte, I need to tell you a story:
This morning, after going through security, already walking on the way to the gate, rushing to get to my flight, I was pulled aside by security officials -- to join a group of travlers -- who were also picked out from the fast pacing crowd to go through extra security measures. It looked like they were picking out one out of fifty. When I saw what they were doing to the people before me; going through each item in detail even flipping pages, book by book. I realized, with the way I packed my bags, many of the books in saran wrap, it could take a long time and  I may end up missing my flight. When it was my turn, the security official, who happened to be an African American, opened my first bag which was filled with my books. By Divine Providence, when he opened the top flap of the luggage, the cover of my Talmud book opened with it. In the fron of my book I have a picture of the Rebbe, when the security official  saw the picture of the Rebbe, he said “You know that man”?
My son Mendel smiled from ear to ear, the security official said “I know that man too! My Daddy got a dollar and a blessing from him! “ The kind security official quickly closed the case and said to my son, with a big smile, “you can go”!
When we arrived home, I asked my son to pose with his suitcase, before he removed any sforim. I thank my son for allowing me to share the story. And as a memeber of the Rebbes army, it gave new meaning to the words I heard the Rebbe say  "Moshiach is already here, all we have to do is open up our eyes"
Shabbat Shalom!

The Arizals Apples from the Orchard

B”H Av 5 5758 Today is the Yahrtzeit of the holy Arizal. It’s amazing how Divine Providence works. Over 27 years ago, a man (and now dear friend)  named Jim Damavandi walked through our doors for the very first time. We were still finding our way as a shul in Malibu, trying to figure out how to serve this beautiful, unique community. And then Jim showed up. Jim and I at the Wall in 2003 Jim wasn’t your typical shul guy. He came with, well, let’s just say, a mission, even if he didn’t call it that. If you were around in those days, you remember. He’d listen to my sermon… then call out, “Corruption!” (Yes, really!:-) ), and follow it up by quoting… the Arizal. Now, who was the Arizal? Rabbi Yitzchak Luria was more than just a brilliant rabbi, he was a spiritual revolutionary. He opened up the deepest, most mystical teachings of Torah. He showed us the inner wiring of reality itself, the Divine blueprint of heaven and earth. But let’s be honest: these teachings are no walk in the ...

Elul: Returning to the Beloved Within

  B"H Elul: Returning to the Beloved Within Translated freely from a lesson by Rabbi Asher Farkash There are moments when the energy in the air shifts. The month of Elul is one of those times. The Kabbalists tell us, in Elul the atmosphere is no longer the same ,  it becomes charged with the frequency of return. It becomes saturated with the energy of Elul. Elul is not just a time on the calendar. It is a state of consciousness. The Sages gave us a key: The acronym of Ani l’dodi v’dodi li ,  “I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me.” is Elul. What they are really saying is: this month is not about fear, or shame, or punishment. This month is about intimacy. About the rediscovery of love. When you begin to examine your life, when you do a soul accounting, your first reflex is often shame. You see where you fell short. You see the moments when you betrayed yourself. You see the gap between who you were and who you wanted to be. And normally, that realization hurts. It ...

Genocide, Gaslighting, and the Full Moon

B"H A few days ago, I crossed paths with an old Malibu friend. He looked at me with a heaviness in his eyes and asked, “Rabbi… how can you possibly stand to see the pictures of the genocide?” I took a breath. I looked back at him and said, “Really? You too? Let me ask you, how can you be so certain of what you believe, when your information is coming from a machine engineered for one purpose: to bypass your critical thinking, to hijack your empathy, to make good people like you rage at a false story ? A story that is nothing more than a modern blood libel against our people.” The Rebbe often warned: keep politics out of conversation. The Rebbe cautioned how political discussions can easily be a corridor that leads directly into “the depths of evil.” But this, what we are seeing now, is not politics. This is the primal war between truth and illusion. Between light and shadow. And yet, here we are, watching countless of our own brothers and sisters drink the poison without questio...
