Israel's Religious Leaders Don't Have A Clue
Israel's Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who is supposed to be a kabbalist and should therefore have a much higher knowledge of how things work in the world, is saying that Katrina was US President George Bush's punishment for supporting the pullout from Gaza.
Hey we're almost in 2006 - this old and tired religious propoganda hype just isn't going to cut it anymore. You can see that things keep deteriorating everywhere.
The facts according to Kabbalist & Scientist Rav Michael Laitman are that Israel has only itself to blame - things are going to get worse in the world as long as we put off the major and very complicated task of correcting ourselves. The whole world is waiting for us to get our act together.
Saying that group A is being punished for something it did to group B - do you have any idea how primitive that is? The only way we can control our future is by researching the upper world. My husband gets up and goes to the Bnei Baruch center at 3:00AM every morning to do that with thousands of other people around the world in the live broadcasts that are also featured throughout the day on Israel television.
In yesterday's morning lesson (minute 16:50) Rav Laitman talked about why Jewish people are smarter and better at taking advantage of other people (yup! that's us). He explained that the more developed the attribute of Bina (bestowal) is in a person, he is more developed and knows how to use others. Where are the Jews smart from? - from this very high level bonding of Bina inside Malchut (the vessel - that's us) - because we were at the level of Bina before the destruction of the temple and then we fell. This bonding is better or "worse" than others and that is the reason why our correction can cause the correction of the entire world. These things are engraved inside of man.
