Dear Lynette and Doves,
Thank you Lynette for reminding
us about the spiritual sea change event known as
Kristallnacht, "Night of Broken Glass" or "Night of
Crystal" or ""Reichskristallnacht" or
"Novemberpogrome" in 1938 in Germany, annexed Austria,
and parts of Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. It
occurred on Cheshvan 15 that year which was November
9-10. This year Cheshvan 15 begins sunset
on October 27, a Tuesday, the midst of the
Menorah day, the day 4 of the Scriptural
Week. Some of the most important "Days of Noah"
were the dates of Cheshvan 10 to 17. So the calendar
date remembered on the Hillel Calendar will be on
October 27 evening, 14 days earlier than
November 9 evening on the Gregorian
Calendar.. As much as people are wondering if
there will be a meeting between President and Prime
Minister near the later Anniversary Date
77 on November 9, let us REMEMBER THE
EARLIER Anniversary Date 77. In the
Scriptures 7 is a number to signify completion. The
number 77 is a double, which intensifies the
meaning.
This brief overview is from aish.com.
"In one night 1350 synagogues were burned to the
ground or destroyed, over 91 Jews were killed: 30,000
Jews were thrown into concentration camps: 7000
businesses were destroyed; and thousands of Jewish
homes were ransacked. Germany did not produce plate
glass at that time, and it took Belgium's total plate
glass production about 6 months to replace all the
windows that were broken. To top everything off, the
Jews were charged 1 billion Deutsch Marks to pay for
all the damages. Every town, every place had its
little "shteibel." Germany was filled with beautiful
old synagogues that had been there for centuries, and
overnight it all went up in flames. The Jews finally
got the message: it was time to leave. But...where to
go?"
What were the answers for Jews of
where to go? There were railroad "cattle cars" to
concentration camps with fake shower/extermination
chambers, or labor camps. Torture, cruelty, murders,
crematoria. It was crystal, broken glass, which was
the SYMBOL the Nazis used to RELEASE the cruelty,
the sadism, the horror, and the terror. The 7 long
years of increasing evil and wickedness from 1938-1945
began on Cheshvan 15: one of the premiere Days of Noah
from Cheshvan 10 to 17. What will Cheshvan 15 be like
in 2015? What will Cheshvan 10 to 17, October 22 to
30, be like in 2015? "As the days of Noah
were, so shall the coming of the son of man be." Come
quickly, Lord...
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
