the elusive secret of the secret

5:15 @ givat tzarfatit..
It was rush hour traffic.. yeah yeah I promised to leave earlier but it didn't happen.. the winds were so so strong.. and the clouds of dust.. made it really hard.. I had less than two hours to make the trip to the dead sea.. I wanted to be back in Jerusalem at 7:00 for the secret class.. so I figured I'd start rollerblading from Mitzpe Yericho today...

What a challenge.. the dust clouds.. irritated my eyes.. and blocked visibility.. I couldn't see anything.. just a heavy fog and clouds of dust and sand..but it made it more mystical.. I felt like I was flying in the clouds..

I got to the dead sea.. not having enough time even for a quick dip.. I decided to just head back... however I still had a few minutes extra.. and I haven't davened mincha yet.. and the abandoned buildings.. they were calling me.. to be explored.. so I went..
wow! what an exploration.. the
abandoned buildings.. The ruins.. pillars.. beautiful architecture..
there was a huge mural painted in 1973 based on an ancient map of Israel from the Crusaders..

stunning views of dead sea.. great acoustics, beautiful mincha davening... (I got so into it.. a swim would've taken less time.. hah..) I finished davening.. and the sun was setting.. It was past 7:00.. I was still hoping I'd get to Jerusalem @ 7:30.. getting to hear 3/4 of the secret.. 3/4 of the secret would be great too!

I got a ride only to tzomet okef yericho.. There were 2 hitchhikers already waiting there..they had been waiting for more than an hour..I told them not to worry of course I'll let you guys go on first.. then I realized there were two more on the bench waiting as well.. by the time I'd get my ride.. it might take a while.. why not skate down again to Yam Hamelech and enjoy the ride.. so I did..

It was almost 9:00 and I was back in Jerusalem.. The bus to kever rachel.. would only be in more than an hour..(I have been wanting for a while to go to Kever Rachel for tikun chatzot..) I still had some time..so..

I skated to the Kotel.. prayed Mariv.. and took the bus to geulah.. but the 163 bus to kever rachel left already..

so the secret of the secret.. still has not been revealed to me.. I got to hear other secrets.. Thank You Hashem..

but please Hashem.. please let us in.. on the ultimate secret.. we are all waiting for it..

for the true revelation..

ועל כן נקוה לך ה' לראות מהרה בתפארת עוזך
ביום ההוא יהיה ה' אחד ושמו אחד

what a blessing.. בא"ה הזן את העולם כולו בטובו בחן בחסד וברחמים

ובטובו הגדול תמיד לא חסר לנו ואל יחסר לנו מזון לעולם ועד
I roasted a few garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes in olive oil. I then added yummy crunchy matza,2 eggs,salt,black pepper, fresh oregano... later sprinkled mozzarella cheese, gvina levanah, scallions, and a yellow pepper... It was delicious!!! (hey ..so much more..than delicious... especially eating this after such an amazing day.. נודה לך... rollerblading from Jerusalem to the dead sea and the hot springs and RoshChodesh!!! It was a great workout and lots of fun. Not having eaten anything besides for an apple, 1/2 red juicy pepper and orange, the food tasted smelled..heavenly.. Thank you G-d..

The water @ the dead sea was sparkling.. it was a beautiful light blue .. with a purplish hue glow.. and the moon and stars...wow!

I just got the following message in my inbox---- from the sweetest Rachel, her family the Chabad House in Puna, India.. what an inspiration they are to all.. (a few of my favorite shabbatot and times in India.. were spent there..)
בכלל, יש להשתדל שהמחר יהיה יפה הרבה יותר מההיום...
שבת שלום
מחר הכי יפה לכולנו, מחר של משיח
רוחל'ה
חב"ד פונה

amen! Rachel - Israel..

מי שגמלני כל טוב הוא יגמלני כל טוב סלה

Thank You Hashem. Amazing miracles today!

I skated to the dead sea.. it was a very very wild ride.. I know I shouldn't have done it rush hour traffic.. it was crazy... but bh so much fun!! I passed a truck on his right on the Jerusalem -Malah Adumim highway at 70 kph while other cars were wizzing by as well to pass the truck.. it was at a very steep curve and I was praying that the cars see me and leave me room when I pass the truck.. and allow me to slide in with the traffic.. It was
intense!

I went swimming at the dead sea.. at Metzukei Dragot area.. it wasn't so wise.. because when I got back on to the road there were over 50 people at the bus stop trying to get rides... I figured there was no way I'd get a ride if I just wait there.. waiting there is just so lame.. I started skating but it was pitch dark.. almost like skating blindfolded..on a highway.. (there is no moon.. this Shabbos is- Mevorchim Hachodesh)

got back to Jerusalem.. and went to visit this magnificent spring... wow!!


It was so beautiful.. especially at night.. (photo
credits מעיינות בהר I have no camera..)

In the afternoon I visited the museum of tehillim.. I got the go ahead.. for
having ecstatic devotional healing tehillim jams at the musuem..for women.. now I just need to find devotes to join.. so if you who would like to join.. please let me know. thanks.

Another amazing miracle.. I was in a car.. and suddenly we find ourselves going in a one lane highway with opposite traffic coming right at us.. we had made a wrong u-turn.. and ended up going against upcoming traffic.. we were so shocked.. at first we did not know what was going on.. bh the cars all reacted immediately and moved over.. as soon as we realized we turned around.. what a miracle!

What kind of adventures did you have today?
