Israeli Borders Could Do with Something Similar (Icons Themselves Need Fixing)…

Found online:

Needless to add, we aren’t COPYING anyone, God forbid. Rather, we seriously consider gaining general inspiration from those who, presumably originally borrowed from us, and were never exiled* and lack Jewish “Galutiyut”.

*Megillah 12b:

מיום שחרב בהמ”ק וגלינו מארצנו ניטלה עצה ממנו ואין אנו יודעין לדון דיני נפשות זיל לגבי עמון ומואב דיתבי בדוכתייהו כחמרא דיתיב על דורדייה וטעמא אמרו ליה דכתיב שאנן מואב מנעוריו ושוקט הוא אל שמריו ולא הורק מכלי אל כלי ובגולה לא הלך…

Did Rabbi Nachman Say Russia Will Be Destroyed? Eh…

“In Megilat Setarim, R. Natan and R. Naftali reveal the order of the arrival of the Redeemer. It is known that our master (Rabbi Nachman) said; ‘In the future, nothing will remain of the great Russia except for a small mound and a small tree’. “

Source: Siach Sarfei Kodesh [compilation of oral Breslover traditions] vol. 3, KC, p 49 (“KC”?)

But the book itself is considered mostly unreliable...

Besides, I don’t see any date here or even a rough period.

Also, does he perhaps mean a burial mound [I can’t see the Hebrew], and if so, of whom? Is (the) Ukraine (then) a part of Russia (called what?)…?

So many questions…

Again, “Siach Sarfei Kodesh” is considered mostly unreliable (although I have no doubt some of it is at least valuable based on its penetrating content). A “traditional”, family-rooted Breslover once told me about a third of it is true, but refused to tell me who\what supplied that fraction, or based on what.

Lo Tachmod: State Socialism

The chief difference between free capitalism and State socialism seems to be this: that under the former a man pursues his own advantage openly, frankly and honestly, whereas under the latter he does so hypocritically and under false pretenses.
