While Bibi pounds his chest over Israel's role in toppling the Assad regime, the shoo-fly rabbi, Shmool Eliyahu of Tsfat, decreed on the same day that we need not say tachanun.
See here —
Boy genius…
Yes, one evil is gone.
But in its place we have Al Qaeda and Isis, two groups whose rapaciousness and barbarity were live-streamed to the world on countless gruesome occasions over the last two decades.
Remember watching infidels getting their heads chopped off?
Those same people are now in charge of an entire country that borders us on the north.
Celebrations…?
Congratulations…?
Breast-beating…?
The last, most certainly.
But not of the kind Bibi is fond of.
Rather, we need more of the sort that his silliness, Rav Eliyahu, adjured us to desist from.
Because the new government in Damascus is not Jew-friendly.
And the only reason Hashem brought them so close to us at this point is to scare us into doing teshuva.
So start klopping.
And maybe we can avoid the bitterness that He’s threatening to visit upon us from Charan.
Chas v’shalom.
