JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Arnie Wittenstein delves into the geopolitical implications of recent U.S. actions against Iranian nuclear facilities, while exploring how such events resonate differently inside and outside Israel. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"to hear things in shul, on the way to shul, whatever, whatever. Like, so, yeah, it's different. It's very different. It's very. It's very, very different. It's a different experience. Now, a couple of people I spoke to told me they were not surprised. They're not surprised. I was surprised. I'm going to tell you right now. I'm not even saying, I was surprised. Based on my reading of, you know, the different Israeli publications, I think everyone was surprised. Now, of course, it's true in Maffreya. There's a certain, you know, similarity to how Israel tricked Iran a week ago and how Trump tricked Iran this week."

"and later. But there's still like a slight, you know, like, you know, Shabbos finished. And like this sort of contrast, like the Shabbos before this, I was standing by a guy and the guy was like so nervous. Shabbos is over. He's anyway Makedon Rabbeinu Tom. It sounds right, Nicole. So he's Makedon Rabbeinu Tom. But even after Rabbeinu Tom, oh, I don't know, you know, scared to turn his phone on. I don't know what's going to happen. Who knows what happened? Because, I mean, things look good before the Shabbos last week, but who knows what's going to happen? Yeah. And turns his phone. Okay. Basically fine. So, yeah. But this week, I don't, no one had any, I don't think anyone was that nervous before Shabbos. No, no, no, no, no, no. We'll be out of time, out of the loop for a day. But, you know, what could happen, you know? Yeah. After Shabbos. Boom. Now, there's a difference though. See, in Eretz Israel, people living in Israel, they woke up to the news."
Israel
"now. There's a difference though. See, in Eretz Israel, people living in Israel, they woke up to the news. And that's different. And don't ask me why this is true. This is just my own observation of life. It's when news happens in the middle of the day, that's one type of, you know, experience. Or even after Shabbos, it's sort of like, like jolting a little."
