This should be a first step toward unifying the children of Israel (boys AND girls) to pray for the safety of the Jewish people.

LOL!!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Please pray that he will die asap. May be god listen to you. I hope so.

It is clear that this guy is trying to pick up where Haman left off. However, I do not see an Esther in today's scenario. Unlike then, since Israel is a governing nation with a powerful army able to defend Her existence, it is clear She will need to attack to save Jewish lives, and at the same time, the lives of the Iranian people.

Rabbi Batzri is doing the correct thing as all of us should be doing. The entire children of Israel should be crying out as they did in ancient Egypt. The Israelites living in Persia assimilated to such an extent that the had to appoint a sheliach Tzibbur, a messenger, in order to pray to Hashem for help. Thus everyone should be praying and crying out for help and redemption. Learn from history! Do something besides complain!

you are doing the right thing. G_d bles

Christians continually intercede for Israel.... Many see and know about the devastation, terrorism and persecution for your people and ours in that whole region. My brothers and sisters for generations have been persecuted and killed by the same people. We join hands and hearts with you in serious and prophetic intercession

then who is the modern day Persian King Achashverosh? And who is the modern day "Esther" to "appease" the "Persian King"?

I just want to encourage this Rabbi and all of Isreal to get on their knees and pray until the windows of heaven open. God loves his Chosen people so much, but he is a rightous God and is so unhappy with the Political Suide Isreal is commiting. They must put all of their trust and faith in him ONLY. He will save his remmant but not all only the faithful. I pray for his Chosen people every day.

is the entire 91st psalm, but in particular the last verse. " He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I WILL be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honour him. And with long life will I satisfy him and SHOW him my salvation". Way to go rabbi.

HaMaN ? a-HAMdiNejad. AhashVerOSH ? BUSH , note in Hebrew V=B O=U

Boy why didn't I think of that. I have some coy comments about Bush to Esterina as Achashverosh to Malkat Esther (al-binyaminiya). But I'll just leave that...

Wow, something that both the left and right in Israel can agree on. Unless some idiot from B'tselem make some noise.

Bless Israel. May the USA support you in anyway so that God may continue to bless us.

The anti-semitic muslims are not fighting against the covenant people/Jacob's descendant's. They are fighting against the Lord of Hosts. Read Jeremiah 49:23-27. My prayer is that the muslims will come to worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

did you pray against Hitler ?? did it work ??

Now if Batzri would only pray also against the OTHER closer Amalekites (Hamas and Fatah)!

This Shabbat and Sunday marks a period where we will read about the wiping out of Amalek 5 times within 24 hours (or at least, no more than 36 hours): - Parshat Zachor - Haftara from Shemuel - Mikra Megilla on Saturday night - Parshat Amalek Sunday morning - Mikra Megilla Sunday morning The destruction of Amalek, besides being a Mitzvat Aseh, is a vital part of the Ge'ula process. It is the act that will make Hashem's Name complete and His Throne complete. Also, the leader of Iran (Mahmoud Ahmedanijad) may have more than deeds in common with Amalek: If you spell his first name as מהמוד, his gematria equals המן (Hamen. descendant of Amalek) If you spell his last name as אחמדיננעג'ד, his gematria equals עמלק.(Amalek). Anyone believe in coincidences?

Gentiles are often at a loss to explain what appears as irrational Israeli behavior. Articles such as this one shed a little light on the issue. Just as the Madrassas inculcate a sense of Arab victimhood and the need for and the rightousness of revenge, Rabbis like this guy help to perpetuate the animosity and fear among the Israeli youth. The feast of Purim itself is a celebration Jewish victimhood, is it not? Why not give it a rest and reach out to your Semitic cousins? Like chicken soup, "It couldn't hoit". Regurgitating the old angst is counterproductive.
