I am gratified to be able to change the name of this blog to "REASONS TO LIVE IN TZFAT AND NOT". I once, perforce, called this blog "Reasons Not To Live in Tzfat". Lately there are more reasons to live here and that should be admitted and celebrated.

Dear Rabbis: Please, Shut Up.
Dear Rabbis:
It is not Wisdom to offer platitudes and stoic suggestions about how
best to cope with a corrupted world. Hope is the illusion of those who
look to an illusory future for salvation. The Wise don't deal in hope.
Doing so may generate speaking gigs at handsome hourly rates, but
doesn't perfect the world.
The Wise see what is being born from the beginning. That is to say,
Wisdom is knowing how to learn Torah such that we bring the very best
into creation, not try to cope with the mess after we birth degenerate
reality.
Only correct Torah learning translates the Written and Oral Torah, which
are one and the same, into Eternal, Holy Worlds.
Until you can do so, at least have the decency not to flood the
Creation with Babylonian swill.
The substitution values that I have mentioned herein, and more, are to
be found on my Facebook page and on my groups:
