Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz of saintly and blessed memory was a Kabbalist and hidden tzaddik as well as a Holocaust survivor. Little is known of him, for he lived his life far away from spotlights. Yet, his word carried tremendous weight in the Heavenly realm. What many don't know is that he was one of Rav Shalom Arush's principle spiritual guides. Rav Yehuda Zev, a holy man with the eyes of a sonogram, could not stomach anything other than absolute holiness. Many big rabbis were therefore afraid to approach him, for he could smell if they were the real deal or not. He loved Rav Shalom. He didn't leave much in the physical world, but he bequeathed his tefillin to Rav Shalom.
Before he died, he told Rav Shalom three things, the first two of which have materialized:
1. Uprisings and infighting will sweep through the Arab countries;
2. Bibi will not be able to attack Iran; Hashem will use other means as He did with Sadaam Hussein.
I don't want to repeat the third thing that Rav Yehuda Zev said, for it hasn't materialized yet. But, I urge our cherished brothers and sisters outside of Israel to start praying and planning to make Aliya, the sooner the better.


stop building up your rabbi its unbecoming and eravah . God knows who the truest tzaddikim that hold up the world are . Medinat yisrael is in serious trouble 75 % want 2 states 55% are for homosexual union id worry about Hashems wrath mamash on you !

1 final thing rabbi nachman is nice its not sod especially sod on mashiach except brief references . I suggest you dont comment on these matters as many sad cases are affected by you . Unless your pious do hitbodedut 12 hours a day and in your sleep and are bucki on the gra ramchal abir yaakov and arizl nachman is for chassidus I suggest you dont comment about succh charged matters . Ariel bar tzadok who is a great tzaddik said dont go to israel he is bucky in abir yaakov chaim vital ramchal and gra your definitely confused and not .

Yikes ....someones comments are charged....
I embrace the emotional imprints and images associated w/alyiah as well as the sanctity and security of residing in Israel and then, the bubble pops and reality is apparent which at the moment doesn't financially support alyiah ( no nest egg, spouse, language). With that being written, I have not davened(prayed ) for alyiah for at least 30 minutes daily with a minimum of 90 days primarily because I'm unclear if this is my primary purpose (cv I don't want to be selfishly davening. I haven't gotten any materialistic feedback to support this tefillah of my heart so I instead daven for everyone in israel to be safe and have salvations where needed)
So I go-round-and-round, being really unsatisfied spiritually and geographically in America yet longing one day to "go home" to Israel, please hashem soon.
Regarding the Rav: wow:)! Sounds like he was a beautiful neshama:)!
Re: dreams- I definitely believe we can receive messages from significant people in our lives past and / or present and what a gift it is to merit having a dream of this significance.
Kol tuv and Shabbat shalom:)
