We're Back Home... Temple Website Hacked... Obladee Oblahdah...
The trip was wonderful in more ways than we can express! We met with several of the yeshiva talmidim (students) and other friends and family members all across the US from Northern Ca to Rochester, NY to Yardley, PA, Pigeon Forge, NC, to Atlanta, GA, down into Ormond Beach and western Florida, to Dothan, Al and Dallas, Tx... . We performed weddings, conversion rites, an ordination, spoke to several people in various settings and more.... We exalted in the splendor of HaShem's creations as we experienced the sheer might of Niagara Falls, the awesome beauty of the Great Smokies, the swamps, rivers and people of the Southeast.... Oy! Such a blessing!
Over the next few days I hope to add the rest of the videos and photos not yet uploaded to our trip page as well as a bit description to put them into context: http://templebethhashem.org/roamnrabbi.html
We do have one difficulty however. The best I can figure is that a hacker has managed to take over the templebethhashem.org web site NAME. It currently has an alt page (that is not of our choosing!). I have spoken with the group that now controls our domain name (we don't now how they gained control of it!) and they have assured me this matter will be resolved soon. Please join with us in prayer to this end!
YeshivaBethHaShem.org and JewToo.org were not hacked and remain secure. All of the files for the temple website are safe and will be restored asap. This was an attack on our domain name not on our web server. Once I regain control of the name I will transfer it to a dependable host (where all the others were... Rebbe had paid for this name well into the future and so when I came on the scene I saw no reason for move it and loose that money... Now I do... not all name servers are honest nor professional. Thanks for your patience on this. We hope to resolve this within a day or two.
NOTE: Rebbe Larry and Hakham Leah are recovering nicely from their auto accident. They plan to sign the papers on the new shul and bookstore (in Fort Bragg, CA) on Wednesday and begin local services shortly thereafter. Hakham Ahuva and I will be remaining in this area (Orville-Chico-Paradise-Yankee Hill-Concow) for now at least. Those wishing to assist Rebbe with the new temple and gift shop may contact him by mail at:
Temple Beth HaShem
32200 space 25 North Harbor Dr.
Fort Bragg, CA. 95437
Please Be in Prayer: Our brother (Rebbe's dear son) Froim may have to go in for surgery soon. As many of you know, Froim is severely disabled. Carefully placed rods in his body enable him to walk and apparently one of these snapped after Froim took a fall recently. Rebbe told me you can feel the broken rod under his skin. Please be in prayer for Froim. He is a man overflowing with love and goodness and we pray for HaShem's mercy to be upon him.
Those who have yet to receive replies from me, thanks for your patience. I hope to be caught up completely within a few days. Feel free to write and confirm that I am aware of your issues etc. In such situations things are sometimes lost.
May HaShem bless you all in the upcoming week!

Trip Update: HaShem had other plans...
As we were pulling out this morning the truck started coughing and spitting. We didn't what was up... so we returned to the campground, figuring that HaShem had something new for us here (or that a major repair was coming). We asked the rangers here for a mechanic recommend and went where they said: RoadMart. We explained our problem to Adam, one of the mechanics, and soon he returned with the info. A spark plug wire had come undone somehow! That was it. We asked what we owed them and they said Nothing! Ya'll have a great vacation! Baruch HaShem! Other than the Daytona Beach Boardwalk parking garage (see last entry) everyone we've encountered here in Florida have been great. Now sure why HaShem wanted us here for another night... there are many possibilities (maybe we would have been in an accident, maybe gotten stuck if the truck had died, maybe we're supposed to meet someone... who can say. What we can say is Baruch HaShem! AND thank all of you who have been praying on out behalf. We have a couple of weeks left on this trip and you continuing prayers are certainly requested and appreciated.
Unless HaShem has other plans, we expect to leave here again in the morning and drive to Dallas.
Shalom and thanks to everyone.

As always your prayers are requested.
Please pray also for talmidim Yaran and Yiska that HaShem would heal the flu they caught while visiting Stone Mountain.

Rat Cheese! Yum Yum!
The Highland Games are being held here at Stone Mountain this weekend and we're excited!
There's always more to come....Shalom for now!
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
We're at Stone Mountain....
From: http://templebethhashem.org/roaminrabbi.html
10.11.11
We are in Stone Mountain, GA now and plan to stay: Friday, Oct 11 - 23.I mentioned the kilt previously... Talmid Yaran has decided to not wear his kilt for the wedding in order to honor his family's preferences. However... Baruch HaShem ... as Hakham Ahuva and I were setting up camp we heard bagpipes! Investigating further we found a nice man from New Jersey playing the pipes beside the lake here. AND he informed us that THIS weekend is the Highland Games! Several clans of kilt-clad Highlanders are expected to be setting up camp here over the next couple of days! Two days of this annual event will be held right here at Stone Mountain! How cool is that? We were going to be camping at Lake Lanier originally but we felt led by HaShem to camp at Stone Mountain instead. I stumbled across a Celtic store in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (seems like an unlikely place!) and bought a kilt for the wedding (where we wont be wearing kilts after all) only to discover we camping at the site of Atlanta's annual Highland Games (where I will be). HaShem leads His people! Never doubt that!
The guy who handles the park's internet is supposed to be in the office tomorrow so I am hoping to talk with him and get our access expanded. If that's not possible, the dual conversions and wedding of Talmidim Yiska and Yaran, our Shabbat service, out special Sukkot broadcast and so on may not be broadcasted live as planned. If this is the case, I'll try and video tape them all and post them as I have access. There should be some very neat videos coming over the next couple of weeks!
I requested prayers for my parents before and I do so again now. Both are in ill health due to various age related issues. They are both doing well for now Baruch HaShem. We plan to visit them tomorrow before Sukkot begins. During this visit to the Atlanta area we'll also be visiting with my brother (a Baptist minster who sometimes posts here: maybe even attending his Sunday service) and my sister (an incredible artist), nieces, nephews and others. We're playing this portion of the trip largely by ear. We're having a great time, meeting lots of interesting people and so on. Including a man who sell rat cheese (video coming as soon as possible)!
Talmidim Yaran and Yiska should be camping with us Friday and Saturday. Yiska should be lighting the Shabbat candles this week.
More to come from Stone Mountain...
Shalom from the Roam'n Rabbi and Hakham Ahuva

Our Trip: Gatlinburg Tn. and Cherokee NC
From our: The Continuing Adventures of the Roam'n Rabbi and Hakham Ahuva!
10.9.11
- We had hoped to do a Yom Kippur and Shabbat service this week but it wasn't possible. I hope you enjoyed Hakham Yochanan's service.
These videos were taken over a handful of days in and around Cherokee, North Carolina:
From the reservation: a gentle stream
A group Cherokee bathing in the stream
Cherokee Hoop Dancing
Hakham Ahuva smiling for the camera
KUDZOO! Its ALIVE! Muahaha

Beautiful Smokies!
"There's a Bear in that Tree!"
A Gorgeous Smokie Mountain Sunset
I've always loved kilts and we found a Celtic shop in Gatlinburg! So I bought two kilts. Talmid Yaran says he plans to wear the kilt at his wedding to Yiska in Stone Mountain October 15th and now I can do the same! My ancestry is largely Cymry (an ethnic group centered in Wales) and kilts were as common among my ancesters as they are among the Scotts. Felly rwy'n falch o wisgo'r chilt!
Today and tomorrow (10.9,10) we plan to relax around the campsite, maybe check out Cherokee a bit more. More pictures and video coming soon! We're having a great time! Shalom Shalom!

Updates/Videos from Pigeon Forge Tn. Prayer Requests and Rosh Hashana
We're now in Pigeon Forge Ten. We will be in this area for 2-4 days (not sure yet). We've uploaded new videos from the trip if you are interested. This is from our trip page:
10.4.11:
A quick stop at Havre de Grace Maryland: We stopped at the Decoy Museum here. Incredible artistry (just don't think about the poor ducks :-(

- Welcome to Tennessee

Welcome to Tennessee
We arrived October 5. As I knew she would, Hakham Ahuva fell in love with the area immediately. You can go anywhere in the world you want but there is nowhere more beautiful, more comfortable than the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Autumn. We're a tad early for the changing of the leaves but the yearly transformation is already well under way. I just adore this area, I have since I was a kid in North Georgia and we came here for the leaves most autumns. But back then Pigeon Forge wasn't much; Cherokee (NC) and Gatlinburg (Tenn) were the places to be... not anymore! Pulling into Pigeon Forge was like driving into Vegas! Oy this place has grown! We'll be posting lots of videos and photos from here!
A few miles outside of Gatlinburg we stopped at an old fashion tent revival meeting....

Plan change: We're pushing back our arrival in Atlanta a couple of days in order to stay in these mountains longer. We now plan to arrive at Stone Mountain the day before Sukkot (October 11). This changes nothing planned otherwise.
- Yom Kippur: Sunset of October 7 through nightfall of October 8
Please pray for Rebbe Larry Levine: His legs are getting bad. He can't really walk now and his left hand is very swollen. He's not sure what's going on and he requests our prayers on his behalf.Please pray also for Hakham Leah as she continues to care for both Rebbe and Froim (their son). May HaShem grant her strength and patience!
Please pray for Hakham Yochanan ben Zalman and his back pains.
Please pray for HaShem's Will as Rebbe Larry continues looking for a new physical location for Temple Beth HaShem in the Fort Bragg, CA area.
Please pray for the all of the talmidim and friends of Temple and Yeshiva Beth HaShem.
Please most of all pray for People Israel and Holy Jerusalem. May HaShem Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
I will be broadcasting "What Matter's Most" today at 5:30 EASTERN time. Our topic, Rosh Hashana: http://templebethhashem.org/beliefs.html

9-11: The Day the Republic Died and the Globalists Took Complete Control
The truth is out there... but still most people sleep on and believe the lie:
9-11 Was An Inside Job!
Loose Change:
Welcome to the New World Order
Apathy Made it Possible...
Welcome to the New World Order
Apathy Made it Possible...
Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
