If four words uttered by our forefather Abraham, accidentally, almost 4,000 years ago could have such destructive power - לו ישמעאל יחיה לפניך - (Genesis 17:18) "If only Ishmael would follow your ways" - how much more so will Abraham's and all our forefathers and mothers' heartfelt prayers on behalf of the Jewish people - come to fruition in a glorious way, speedily in our times!!
An incredible prophecy of the Holy Zohar (Book II page 32a) regarding the End of Days is unfolding before our eyes!
And the amazing comforting words of the Great sage Rebbe Akiva to his colleagues, as they witnessed the terrible degradation of the destroyed Holy Temple in Jerusalem, is a great source of comfort to us, in these difficult times.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I wanted to thank all those who have donated to this site, our YouTube & Rumble Channels for your generous support for Shmu's Views on Locals all this time. Your help has been so appreciated. As you may have noticed I no longer post videos and lessons as much as I used to. I have curtailed much of our channels on Locals, YouTube and Rumble for age-related reasons.
As a result, I cannot in good conscience continue to ask for your monthly financial contributions to the site.
Thank you so very much for all you have provided to ensure quality teachings on Judaism and politics.
I would ask that you find another worthy charity or a rabbi who teaches Torah and truth. I know they too would appreciate your support.
Again thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Shmuel ben Shlomi
