No Praying to End the Biden Inflation - tomorrow's daf yomi Kesuvos 106

 HH

Today the world is under great duress, the eco terrorists, leftists, wokists, and warmongers have been working hard to destroy all order and good. The economy is deteriorating and inflation is sky rocketing, the cost of living is becoming ever so much more expensive. We must pray and do whatever we can to combat their evil ideologies, systems, and practices, but we do not pray for G-d to simply bring relief. This is a statement in the Talmud, Kesuvos 106a, which is passed off as a given that Elisha did not pray for relief in the time of Divine wrath - at the time of famine, the time of the famous miracle when 22 loaves of bread sufficed for 2200 of his students, a loaf for a hundred. The commentaries ask that we know very well that when there is suffering in the world, and when there is no rain, we are definitely supposed to be praying for relief, and the Maharsha explains that when it is not an all out famine, just limited amounts of food and extreme inflation, that is a time of Divine wrath, not a time for prayer. Just when the famine or hardship is so severe that it threatens to wipe everyone out, that requires prayer.

Rioting - inflation - Food Shortages in America

 HH

This seems appropriate to what is going on in America now.

Dream from Saba, transcribed and translated:

This night I had a dream, such a dream….. 

There was a fire, fires, everyone was burned, all the non-Jews were burned along with all their money. Only in places where there were Jews, there were no fires, the fires were only among the non-Jews, not among us. Throughout America, among the non-Jews, there were fires, they remained without bread, in America and in Russia.

 

The President of America, Bush, he was a hater of Israel, he lost all his money and was left impoverished, he had nothing, not even enough to buy bread. Everyone was burned in fires and only he and one son remained, and the son cried: 

“Father, have mercy on me, give me bread!”

Bush said to him, “My son, I have no money. One who has no money, has no bread!” 

“Father, I want bread, I’m hungry, I need bread.” 

Bush said, “I have no money, I also have no bread, I have nothing, I don’t know what to do. I have no money, if there is no money – there is no bread.” 

Bush was very rich, he had businesses, everything was burned and not enough remained even to buy bread. There were fires, and all the money was turned to ashes, but among the Jews there were no fires, only among the non-Jews. Well, what do you say about a dream like that?
