Preparations for Pessach ’25

We all know that leaven is not eaten during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, in Hebrew known as the Festival of Matzas (Hag haMatzot).   Homes have all the leavened food removed from them. But here’s what happens in the supermarkets:

Midweek TV comedy "Eretz Nehederet" appeared this week with a pyramid backdrop, remembering Pessach, and Israel's exit from Egypt long ago.
Hametz (leavened products) are sealed and unavailable for sale starting during the final days leading up to Passover.

Hijinks continued during the episode as comedians portrayed politicians at a Passover Seder feast table with the Matza bread and the cups of wine.  “Sarah Netanyahu” picks up her cellphone to call “The Cleaning Lady” to come in with a bucket and rags to remove “The Mark of Cain” from “Bibi’s” forehead, which the left-wing show claimed has appeared for Netanyahu’s mishandling of the war, or alternatively, since his office interns are accused of accepting bribe money from Qatar in return for pushing Qatar to the center of hostage negotiations instead of Egypt.  As is expected, the left-wing comedy show revels in hilarious skits to portray right-wing politicians in the worst possible light.

 

Passover ’25: USA negotiates with Iran

This Shabbat, which is the start of Passover, the USA has stated that Iran will have direct talks with the USA regarding its nuclear program.  The USA seeks to apply the Libya 2003 model in which international forces destroyed its military nuclear facilities while allowing Libya’s civilian nuclear sites.

In the current case, Iran has tried to stick with “indirect” talks, but USA has insisted on direct talks.  Most experts do not anticipate that Iran would accept a Libya-style deal willingly, as Libya did.

We can see that Israel has serious concerns.

Our prayer should be that this Shabbat, leaders of USA and Iran would fulfill YAH’s program and . 

Pray and Consider Supporting Our Work.

Treat Iran’s nukes just like Libya’s

What a novel idea! Learn from experience! The USA let Libya keep their civilian nuclear facilities, but went into Libya to physically destroy all the military nuclear sites. No playing around.

Jerusalem Post, 9 Apr 2025 pg 1.

It seems as if whenever obvious tactics are not used, it’s as if–all along–they actually wanted Iran to nuke Israel.  Libya wasn’t that committed to harming Israel per se, Libya was simply an economic and military threat to the global system at large.  But Iran is hyper-focused on Israel.  So was that the strategy? Let Iran nuke Israel and then–after that’s accomplished–step in to prevent Iran from nuking Europe and the USA.

Pray and Send a Gift.

Day 550: Iran destroyed USA Embassy in 1979, yet now wants equal footing

This is only natural for an honor-based culture such as Islam. 

Screenshot captured from Mehr News Agency on 8 Apr 2025.

The “culture of honor” is the only way to comprehend why Iran would so arrogantly seek to demand equal footing during negotiations with the USA.  In contrast, from the perspective of a culture of merit and a culture of justice, it would be important to “know one’s place” in the hierarchy.

Meanwhile, reports state that the USA has moved fleets of military ships as well as THAAD defensive anti-missile equipment into the region:
