From Barbaria to Israel

 HH

Enoash, the grandson of Adam, lived in the years 235-1140. In his days the people began worshiping the constellations. HY warned and punished them by flooding a third of the world (-also faces began to resemble monkeys, the mountains became rocky and unplowable, the dead began to decompose, and people became open season for the damagers). In the medrash (rabba 23:7) the rabbis say that there were actually two floodings, Rabbi Yuden and Rabbi Avuhoo and Rabbi Eliezer in the name of Rabbi Chaneena said, the first rose till Akko and Yafo, and the second rose to the hands of Barbaria. Rabbi Chananya and Rabbi Acha in the name of Rabbi Chaneena said, the first one reached Barbaria, and the second reached Akko and Yafo.

Those warning went unheeded until the necessity for the great flood.

Noach lived 1056 - 2006, the flood was in 1656 (right after the passing of Mesueshelach, the son of the grandson of the grandson of Enoash, and the grandfather of Noach).

HY swore the Jews not to bring redemption before the time, the punishment for transgressing this oath RL: their flesh will be open season like the dear and gazelles. 

Recently we experienced something that fits the description of punishment abandoning the flesh of the Jews to complete Barbaraia. 

Thank G-d it was contained, the aspirations of the barbarians was much much greater, but they got ahead of themselves and lost themselves in their blood and sexual lusts, and forfeited their larger plan.

There are some Jews that maintain that having a state of Israel is a violation of the oath. Most Jews follow the ruling of the Avnay Nezer and other rabbis who decided that since the gentiles themselves gave Israel to the Jews, it is ok. This is a huge topic, books have been written on it.

Rabbi Tzadok Hakohen, most famous for the references he provided for Rabbi Nachman's Sefer Hamidos - Book of Character, wrote in his sefer Tzidkus Hatzadik, that even though previously when the Jews seized power and independence prematurely, they were wiped out (see e.g. Numbers 14:44), in the end of days the Jews will succeed with holy brazenness to attain independence - and it will accepted by HY. That which the holy Sages said that in the times of Messiah - chutzpa will proliferate - will come to fruition even to the extent that the Jews will prevail in there autonomy.

After the flood, in the year 1996 from creation, the people united, all using the holy tongue - Hebrew, to build the tower of Babel, in an attempt to make sure there would never be another flood. HY dispersed them and divided them into seventy different languages.

Following kind of on theme of R. Tzadok, and viewing the recent massacre as an aspect of the flood, even if only the aspect of the flood of Enoash which forebode the great flood RL, now the Jews must go on to rectify the tower of babel, and have unity, with the holy tongue of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman.

It has been said that there is only a fine line between genius and insanity, and perhaps on the same vein we can say that at the zenith of complexity of devotion there is only a fine line of separation to the complete simplicity and wholeheartedness of Breslov. Ishbitz chasidus, started by the May Hasheeloach, is probably the most deep, sophisticated, and profound, and thus we find that R' Tzadok Hakohen, author of Tzidkas Hatzadik and many other holy books, came to favor Rabbainu - at a time when almost all other chasidim were strongly opposed or at the very best ignored - R' Tzadok devoted his efforts to providing correlating sources to the dictums of Rabbainu in his holy book Character - The Aleph Bet Book of the Traits

May his memory be a blessing.

It is interesting to note that in his book Tzidkas Hatzadik, he makes a small prophecy that before the proper time the Jews would once again rally to conquer Israel - even though this is was the sin of the "maapeelim" in the time of Moses, who were all killed out instantly - as the Torah says, and even though there are severe oaths that forbid the Jews from doing this, even still R' Tzadok asserts that the Jews will do it successfully, explaining that at that time there will already be a case for the success of chutzpa! See there, this is beyond amazing, because the entire Satmar movement and those even more radical and zealous are in denial of this phenomenon.
