THE AMERICAN SPRING

Hundreds of people marched near Wall Street in New York in a failed attempt to occupy the heart of global finance to protest greed, corruption and budget cuts; plans by protesters to turn Lower Manhattan into an American Tahrir Square was thwarted today by police.

America is a country founded on revolution; Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers insisted, revolution be continual if America was to remain free of tyrants. Revolution need not be violent, merely by massing the discontent at the epicenter is enough.

The tyranny of today is melt out by the financial institutions who after almost bankrupting America now want a better business environment; their Republican surrogate is holding the country hostage, demanding less regulations – just what got us into this mess.

The Hebrew day of this first protest is Chai/18th of Ellul, the month preceding the New Year. It was on this day the Bal Shem Tov was born 300 years ago in Poland; at the age of 36, on this day, he reveal the teachings he secretly received from Eliyahu HaNovi/The Prophet.

His teachings began a new movement to bring the secrets of the Torah, the Cabala (Kabbalah), to the world. The new movement happening in America, against the greed and corruption that has overtaking this country is conceived at just the right time – Chai Ellul.
