Thank you, Howard. That was very well written. Interestingly enough, I had a conversation today with my brother (who lives in Israel) who is concerned about what's happening in Europe and is concerned more for the Jews of Chutz La'aretz (outside of Israel) than with those in Israel. He feels that the coming of the Messiah is imminent, and the war of Gog and Magog, in which the whole world will turn against Israel and G-d miraculously will save her, is possibly coming fast.
He was supposed to have concerts in Australia and America this summer (he is the head of Shlock Rock, a Jewish Rock band that is very popular in America and certain countries outside of Israel) and all of these concerts were cancelled last minute. He says he feels that this was G-d telling him not to be in Chutz La'aretz this summer, that things may possibly get very bad for the Jews. Have you guys heard what is happening in Europe, with the major increase in anti-semitism and violence against Jews? My brother just says, "Be aware, be ready (if need be) to leave." Funny that even though I am proud to be an American, it does not take much to make me afraid of things happening here. (And I know you guys are going to jump on that.)
