It has come to my attention that I haven’t been clear enough about my current situation. I’ve said it many times in many interviews, but I guess I wasn’t forward enough. On that horrible day, I shut down my tech business to focus on Israel. The results of my posts have definitely shown me that that was the right decision. However, while people have been very helpful, I have decided not to take any money from the many organizations that have reached out because each one of them came with their conditions. “You can’t call it Judea and Samaria. That will offend our donors. Call it the West Bank.” “You have to stop saying that there’s no such thing as Palestinians.” Etc. etc. No thanks. So I haven’t taken any backing including by the way, from government offices that have reached out. I think that was the right move but my bank account disagrees. I am definitely out of my comfort zone writing this but when people thank me for my work and tell me how much it’s helped them throughout the war, what I’ve been told over and over is that the reason people aren’t supporting my work financially is because no one knows that I need support. Well, I do. That’s all. If you want to support my work, there are many ways to do that but if you want to make a donation, you can do that using the link below. If you want to just donate directly, feel free to reach out and I’ll gladly provide wire information. Either way, I thought I was clear that I can use all the help I can get. Apparently I was wrong. So now you know. ampisrael.com/hillel-fuld?fb…

QAANI: IMPOSSIBLE הנה לא ינום ולא ישן - קאאני אסמאעיל 😎

Per request, I’m sharing my thoughts on this week’s Torah portion today so people don’t miss it. I’ll be sharing it again tomorrow before Shabbat. 🙏 This week, we begin the third book of the Torah, the book of Leviticus. The name of this week’s portion is Vayikra, which means ‘He called’. There is an old tradition that when teaching kids Torah, we start with this book of Leviticus. Some schools still do this today. The question is why. Leviticus is the most technical book of the five books and it is almost exclusively about the sacrifices brought in the temple. Why would such a technical and somewhat irrelevant for us today book be the first thing a kid learns? Why not Genesis? That would make the most sense. If not Genesis, why not any of the other books? Leviticus would be the last one I’d think to start teaching my kid. So before we get into the portion, let’s first answer this question. There are many answers given, but perhaps the answer is in the question itself. Why start with teaching a kid about sacrifice? Perhaps the idea of sacrifice is the most important lesson of all, especially today. Maybe we start with this book because it teaches children that learning Torah, keeping the Torah requires sacrifice. Perhaps it’s to teach kids that life is about sacrifice. Maybe what we are teaching our kids is that nothing good is achieved in life without sacrifice, without hard work. As we say today, no pain no gain. Maybe what we’re saying to our kids is “Soon, we will learn how God created the world, how to treat others with respect, and all the stories that happened to your nation, but first? You have to know that no matter what it is you’re going to do in life, if you want to accomplish anything big, it requires sacrifice. Greatness requires sacrifice.” The portion begins with, “GOD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying: Speak to the Israelite people, and say to them: When any of you presents an offering of cattle to GOD: You shall choose your offering from the herd or from the flock.” The portion then proceeds to discuss the sacrifices in great detail. So the first question is, why did God speak to Moses in the “Tent of meeting”? After all, He was talking to Moses and only Moses. Why talk to him in such a public place that anyone from the whole nation could easily enter? Why not in some location that is more discrete? A beautiful answer that I heard is that God is teaching us, the whole nation, how much potential each one of us has. God is teaching us all a lesson that so many of us need to internalize today. “Yes”, God is saying, “I am talking to Moses, but just know, I’m doing it right here in this public place, because if you want to, you can approach, you can see God (figuratively) too, you too can be like Moses, but that requires you to want to see God, to want to recognize His presence and acknowledge His actions and miracles.” You want to see God? You have to welcome Him into your life. You have to come to the tent where God is talking to Moses. Perhaps God is teaching us what a verse later on in the Torah says that “Faith in God is not in the sky or across the ocean”, meaning it’s not inaccessible to you. All you need to do is open your eyes and be ready and willing to see God. Without that, you won’t see God. You have to be emotionally, mentally, and spiritually ready, and then you’ll see Him loud and clear. He is right here in this public tent. Tragically, we, the Jewish people, have a tendency to not open our hearts and eyes to God’s presence. When God told Moses to take the nation out of Egyptian slavery, the people complained, many of them stayed back, and the ones who left spent 40 years in the desert complaining and doubting God’s presence. Even when God performed one of the greatest miracles in history, the splitting of the sea, the nation didn’t jump in, they didn’t have faith that even after everything God and Moses had already done for them, that here, God would save them again. What is interesting is that when they arrived at the Red Sea and they heard the Egyptian chariots approaching them, they turned to Moses and asked him why he took them out of Egypt if they’re just going to die there on the shore. Moses then turns to God and asks Him the same question, “Why did you take them out of Egypt if they’re just going to die here?” God’s answer there is incredibly profound and more relevant today than ever. God doesn’t tell Moses to tell the people to pray some more, to do some more good deeds, what he says is fascinating. God says to Moses “Why are you yelling at me? They want to be saved? Tell the nation to jump in, to go, to not wait for me.” In other words, God is teaching us that sometimes, we have to take that first step and then God does His part and saves us. And that is exactly what happened. One man, Nachshon had the courage to step into the sea. As soon as he did, as soon as he took that first step and demonstrated to God that he has faith in Him, the water began to split. A few verses later, Hashem says “Let the people sit quietly and watch as I save them.” So which one is it? Do we need to “Jump in” or does God miraculously take over? The answer is of course both. When we jump in, when we take that leap, (when we decide to make Aliyah despite the challenges), God will then do His part, but first, we need to take that first step. So how do we do that? How do we open ourselves up to recognize God? Are there some tricks or tips? Furthermore, what happens if we don’t recognize God? Why do fail at recognizing Him and what happens when we don’t see His presence? To answer that, let’s go back to the sacrifices. How do you say sacrifice in Hebrew? Korban. The word Korban, which means sacrifice, has the same root as two other words, Karov, which means close, and Krav, which means battle. What is the significance of that? The answer is that when we sacrifice, when we work hard at it, we achieve a state of Karov, of being close to God. How? By Krav, by battling, aka fighting our instinct to think that everything that happens is either a coincidence or it’s me doing that incredible thing, not God. When we think we deserve all the credit for our achievements, when we take exclusive credit for miracles like the iron dome or our spectacular military victories, that is when we can’t recognize God. We need to accept that God runs the show and sure, our hard work deserves credit too, but first and foremost, it’s God. So we bring a Korban in order to achieve Karov by Krav. We grow close to God by sacrificing and fighting the urge to not recognize Him. But that’s not all you need to recognize and welcome God into your life. As we said before, God is teaching us here that each one of us can become Moshe and have that closeness with God. How? By emulating Moshe and the one and only characteristic we know about him, which is humility. The Torah says Moshe was the most humble of all men. If you want to see God, you need to humble yourself and be prepared to acknowledge that there is something greater than you. How do we see that here? If you look at the very first word of this portion, it’s Vayikra, He called. However, if you take a closer look at that first world, you’ll notice something interesting and very unique. The last letter of that word, Vayikra, the letter aleph is different. In a Torah scroll, the letter aleph is smaller than the rest of the letters. The commentary explain that God called Moses, but Moses was so humble that he felt uncomfortable with the Torah saying that God called him so he asks God to remove that word “Vayikra” from the Torah. God pushes back and refuses to remove the word, so the commentary explain that Moses and God compromised and included the word but made that letter smaller. So if you want God to call you, to speak to you, to be a part of your life, you need to make yourself smaller in order to understand that there is something bigger than you. So far, we learned that each one of us has the potential to achieve greatness and become like Moses. But in order to achieve that, we need to fight the urge to take credit, and be willing to take that first step. However, there is something even deeper about that first word of Vayikra, ‘He called’. The Talmud teaches us that there was never a prophet like Moses, with one exception. Bilam was a prophet who had that potential to be a prophet on the level of Moses. So then why was Bilam so evil? The answer is in one letter. Here God called Moses, Vayikra”, but with Bilam, it says God “Vayaker”, which is spelled the same way minus that last letter. However, the word Vayaker also shares the root with the word “Mikre”, which means coincidence. What was the difference between Moshe and Bilam? Why did one use their abilities to do good and one use the same ability to do bad? The answer is that Bilam’s philosophy was “Mikre”, coincidence. He lived life as if everything was a coincidence and not God’s doing. Moshe, on the other hand, was humble enough to see God and recognize that he was just a human being and that there is something greater than you. Bilam lived as if nothing is a miracle and Moses lived as if everything was a miracle. This idea answers another question. When it comes to the ancient commandment of erasing Amalek, a nation that fought us when we were weakest, when in the desert, the obvious question is what did they do that was so bad? Why do we have this unique commandment to erase them? The answer is right there in the verses about Amalek. The Torah says to erase Amalek, why? “Asher karcha baderech”, because they “Karcha” as you were on your journey. What does Karcha mean? Well, now that we understand what the difference between Moshe and Bilam was, we see that same word “Mikre” about amalek. Amalek was the epitome of coincidence, of lack of faith. They were the total antithesis of everything God and the Jewish people stand for. Like Bilam, Amalek was all about coincidence, which is a very dangerous way of living life, so we are commanded to erase them and their philosophy that nothing is God and everything is coincidence. So, until now, we’ve learned that God is telling us that we can be like Moshe and achieve greatness and closeness to God if we do a few things. We need to be humble, we need to be willing to see God when He appears and to understand thay nothing is coincidence and God runs the world. Now that we understand all that, we have one more question to answer. What is the consequence of not welcoming God into your life? What happens when you don’t recognize His presence? So far, we’ve stayed on that first verse and even the first word of that first verse. Now let’s go to the end of the portion and we’ll find something very strange. In the very last chapter of the portion, there are a verses that deal with dishonesty and stealing. The verse says “GOD spoke to Moses, saying: When a person sins and commits a trespass against GOD-by dealing deceitfully with another in the matter of a deposit or a pledge, or through robbery…” The glaring question is how is dealing deceitfully and sinning against your fellow man, a trespass against God? The Torah has commandments that are between man and God and commandments between man and man. This seems like a prohibition between man and man. Stealing, cheating, tricking, how is that a transgression against God? The answer is, when does a society become so immoral that the people steal? What leads to a person acting deceitfully? What makes a society so immoral that theft and dishonesty becomes a norm? The answer is a lack of faith. If I don’t believe that there is something greater than me, if I think I’m the ultimate being and all that matters is me, then of course I’m going to steal. Why wouldn’t I? All that matters is me! So when you steal, when you cheat in business, what you are in essence saying is that there is no God, that there is no one or nothing bigger than me. If I want that thing, I’ll simply take it. Why not? A lack of faith in God makes the moral fabric of that society disintegrate. This could not possibly be any truer than it is today. We see individualism taken to such a level that people think that all that matters is them. Everything is me, me, me. iPhone, iPad, iMac. I. I. I. Everything is about me and nothing else. There is nothing greater than me. The result? The west can no longer differentiate between good and evil, between a country and nation that just wants to live in peace, and an ideology that wants to prevent that, and wants to spread its genocidal ideology to everyone else. In the west, we have removed God from our society. We have taught our children that all that matters is them and nothing is greater than them. As a result, we see more immorality today than we’ve seen in a very long time. God here teaches us exactly how to achieve closeness with Him, why it’s so important to welcome Him into your life, and finally, what happens we remove Hashem from our lives and begin to believe that the world revolves around me and all that matters are my wants, my desires. When we aren’t humble enough to recognize how small we are, when we can’t be like Moses who was so humble that he asked God to remove the word Vayikra from the Torah, then we fail to recognize God and His involvement in our lives. When there is no God in my life, then like Bilam and like Amalek, everything is simply a coincidence. Rockets falling in empty spaces? Coincidence. Aerial defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles? That’s all me. When miracles happen, we think that it’s either a coincidence or it’s all me. We simply fail to give the credit where it’s due, we fail to recognize and thank God for all the miracles. However, when we do recognize God and we welcome Him into our lives, then we have the faith to “Jump in”, to take steps even when difficult because we know God has our backs. As a result, God does His part and says “Now sit and watch how I fight for you and help you, my children, the Jewish people. Watch how I help you achieve greatness and defeat your enemies, but it all starts with making room for me, God, in your lives.” Shabbat shalom.

There is something miraculous happening and absolutely no one is talking about it. Soon, the Jewish people will celebrate the holiday of Passover. Millions of Jews around the world will hold their famous Passover Seder. During the Seder, we have a blessing that we say every year that, quite frankly, confuses me, or at least it used to until my dad explained it to me. The blessing is called Vehi Sheamda and in it we thank God that in every generation our enemies attack us and God saves us. But if you examine the actual words of the blessing, you’ll notice something strange. The blessing goes “And this is what is what stood for our forefathers and us, that our enemies don’t attack us alone, but rather they are many and God saves us from their hands.” Why is the fact that our enemies don’t attack us alone a good thing? Why are we thanking God that we have many enemies? So my dad explains every year that we are not thanking God that we have many enemies. What we are celebrating and expressing gratitude for is that in every generation, instead of joining forces, our enemies always fight each other, which weakens them and gives us the upper hand.”l I had never experienced this. Of course I learned how our enemies throughout history fought each other but I never saw it first hand. Until now! The first time we saw this throughout the events of the past three years is on October 7 itself. What we know now is that Hamas was supposed to be joined by Hezbollah in the north, making it a two front attack, which would’ve been infinitely harder to block. However, they had an internal struggle, and according to many sources, Hezbollah got angry at Hamas that they did not give them a heads up about the attack. Therefore, Hezbollah decided to sit it out. Incredible. However, what’s happened over the past month is nothing short of miraculous. Can you imagine if Iran, in its war against Israel, was joined by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait, Syria, Iraq, and many other Muslim countries? Can you imagine that instead of Israel being attacked by Hezbollah and the IRGC at the same time, the entire Muslim world would attack Israel simultaneously? I don’t even wanna think of such a scenario. So why did that not happen? Well, it’s because we are now witnessing that exact miracle. The IRGC decided that instead of bringing the entire Muslim world to join their cause to destroy Israel, they thought it was a good idea to throw a tantrum and attack basically the entire Muslim world. So instead of all those countries joining the IRGC, which would have been the natural thing to do, what ended up happening is that those countries have only grown closer to Israel. You couldn’t make this up if you wanted to. The IRGC has targeted infrastructure in: • United Arab Emirates (UAE): This has been one of the most heavily targeted nations. The IRGC has launched over 1,600 drones and hundreds of missiles at targets including Al Dhafra Air Base (housing U.S. forces), Al Minhad Air Base, and energy infrastructure like the Al Hosn gas field. Strikes have caused civilian casualties in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.  • Saudi Arabia: The IRGC has targeted major oil and petrochemical complexes, including the Jubail complex, the SAMREF refinery, and the Shaybah oil field.  • Qatar: Strikes have hit the Ras Laffan refinery and the Mesaieed petrochemical complex.  • Bahrain: Attacks have targeted the U.S. Fifth Fleet facilities and Bahrain’s national oil refinery and desalination plants.  • Kuwait: The IRGC has struck refineries at Mina Al Ahmadi and Abdullah Port, as well as areas near U.S. military installations. • Oman: While less frequent than strikes on the UAE, Oman has also been included in reports of regional missile impacts.  • Iraq: The IRGC and affiliated militias have targeted Baghdad International Airport, U.S. bases in Erbil, and Kurdish forces in northern Iraq.  • Jordan: Jordanian airspace has seen multiple interceptions of Iranian missiles, and the country was included in a joint condemnation by 12 Arab and Islamic nations following strikes on its territory. • Turkey: NATO air defense systems recently intercepted an Iranian missile in the eastern Mediterranean that was reportedly bound for Turkish territory.  • Azerbaijan: Tensions have spiked following the exposure of Iranian-directed terror plots in Baku, leading to the arrest of several individuals.  Summary of Casualties and Damage If you had told me two months ago that Israel and the US would be fighting the IRGC with almost the entire Muslim world on our side, I would have thought you clearly hit your head. Zero chance I would have believed you. And here we are. “And this (Hashem’s blessings and the Torah) is what kept our fathers and what keeps us surviving. For, not only one arose and tried to destroy us, rather in every generation they try to destroy us, and Hashem saves us from their hands.” We are seeing this miracle happen right before our eyes. Instead of attacking us all together, the Muslim world is not only totally fragmented, most of the Muslim world is actually on Israel’s side as it fights the evil Iranian regime. Miracles of biblical proportions. 🙏🇮🇱🇺🇸💪❤️

Love this.

I would just like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the IRGC. They have helped us these past few weeks in ways we couldn’t help ourselves. Let’s review: 1- Thanks to the IRGC, countless Muslim countries have sided with Israel in this war, something that would have been impossible to imagine just a month ago. So thank you. 2- Thanks to the IRGC, the people of Israel are united. I’d bet close to 95% of Israel supports this war. We were so divided just a few months ago so thank you to the IRGC for uniting us. 3- If anyone had any doubt about Netanyahu losing popularity in Israel, well the IRGC took care of that. He’s now viewed by millions of Israelis as a strong courageous leader. Thanks guys. 4- If anyone had any doubts about Israel’s military strength and Israelis’ resilience, well, there are no more doubts after this war. Israel has its mojo back and Israelis are now confirmed to be some of the most resilient people on the planet. Thanks, IRGC. You guys rock. 5- Not gonna lie, I was pretty worried about both the IRGC and about Hezbollah. There were all types of rumors of how prepared they are to destroy Israel. Well, thanks guys for getting rid of my anxiety and confirming that you guys are weak and we are able to obliterate you in minutes. 6- Ya know, for a long time, many journalists and pundits claimed that the relationship between Netanyahu and Trump, and by extension between Israel and America was on the rocks. That is a scary thought as America has always been our closest ally. Well, thanks IRGC for clearing that up for me. Glad to know our relationship is stronger than ever. Phew. 7- Israel only recently went live with our new iron beam aerial defense system. Literally knocking bombs out of the sky with lasers. We really needed to put it to the test and make sure it works well. Well, it does. Thanks IRGC. Appreciate you taking one for the team and letting us test the iron beam. 8- I really want to say an extra big thank you to the IRGC for giving us the excuse to eliminate all those monsters we eliminated these past few years. Whether it’s the leaders of the IRGC proxies like the Sinwar brothers, Hanieyeh, Nasrallah, and Deif, or the IRGC leaders themselves like Khamenei, and his entire leadership. The world is safer now and I want to say thanks for giving us that opportunity. It couldn’t have happened without you guys. Thanks! 9- Thanks to this war, people who were considered somewhat intelligent before are now widely regarded as total lunatics. I’m lookin at you, Tuckeroo and Candace. I see you, Megan Kelly and Piers. The whole world does. Thanks to the IRGC for helping to expose these people and their real agenda. 10- And last but most certainly not least, a huge shoutout to the IRGC for reminding us that God still has our backs. Thanks to you guys over there, God was able to perform open miracles for us and restore the faith of so many people who were beginning to feel disconnected from their heritage. You guys brought all of them back. I appreciate you for that. Gratitude is a very important thing so I thought it was only appropriate to thank the IRGC for all these remarkable things that could never have been possible without them. Israel is stronger than ever both militarily and diplomatically. The relationship between the US and Israel as well as the Muslim world and Israel has never been this good. The Israeli people have never been this united. All that because of you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🤣🇮🇱🇺🇸💪🙏🔥 Also, to the IRGC, I have seven words for you. We win. You lose. Am Yisrael Chai!

I dare you not to laugh.

PSA: Netanyahu is currently giving a live press conference. The first in history by someone who is dead. 😁 These idiots must feel pretty dumb right about now. 🤣

Back from the dead. Again! 🤣🤣

Netanyahu: “America is not fighting for Israel — America is fighting with Israel.”

In case you didn’t believe me, this is the general manager of The Inbal Jerusalem, and this is the hotel restaurant. Jam-packed. The resilience of the Israeli people is nothing short of supernatural.

One is dead and one is very much alive.

Netanyahu: Israel acted alone in attacking energy facilities in Iran

Israeli PM Netanyahu: I see this war ending a lot faster than people think.

Netanyahu: “There’s always a danger of acting, but the dangers of not acting is way more dangerous.” That’s leadership. Netanyahu on the claims that Israel dragged the U.S. into war: “Does anyone think anyone can tell Trump what to do? Oh, come on.”

🇮🇱 Prime Minister Netanyahu lays out the objectives of Operation Roaring Lion: -End the nuclear threat. -End the ballistic missile threat. -Create the conditions for the Iranian people to reclaim their destiny.

Netanyahu: Can anyone really tell president Trump what to do?

Netanyahu: It is too early to say whether the Iranian people will take advantage of the conditions, we are working to make sure they will, but in the end everything will depend only on them.
