Ariel Sokolovsky

Shalom u'vrocha (Greetings and blessings!) ! here it is as it appeared on LukeFord.net Born in Kishinev Moldova (Moldavia) former Soviet Union on 15th of Teves 5740-January 4 1980, (few months before the Rebbe King Moshiach (Messiah) Shlit"a (May He live forever and ever!) made the the famous speech in Russian strongly demanding that the Soviet government follow it's own constitution and allow and protect the observance of Judaism in the USSR and Eastern Europe Warsaw block countries (which were largely influenced by it on most matters) prophesying that if it will not do so it will be replaced by the one which will in a very near future) Ariel Sokolovsky grew up in a typical Besarabian (Besarabia part of what's now Sovereign Republic of Moldova annexed by the USSR from Romania in 1940) family where only some Jewish traditions were observed. Few years before the fall of communism, he slowly got in touch with his Jewish roots by learning Hebrew later learning Torah Jewish Law and any Jewish book he could find eventually deciding to stop eating meat since no kosher meat was available went to various Zionist summer camps later went to a Jewish school for a year went to a Kishinev branch of Torah VoDath Yeshiva right after his Bar Mitzvah He moved to the United States June 2, 1993. Ariel: "I grew up in Kishinev, Moldova. When I started becoming religious, I started reading various articles. The Chief Rabbi of Kishinev and Moldova Rabbi Zalman Abelsky haCohen:

is a great Torah scholar both in Talmud and in Chabad Chasidic philosophy emissary of the Rebbe King Moshiach and of the Previous Rebbe a person who rekindled the Jewish spark in Moldova. I went to a yeshiva of Agudat Yisrael [Lithuanian approach to Judaism, mitnagdic, different from Habad Hasidim] Torah VoDas. Since I had a better first impression of the rabbis there We studied only Torah from morning until late evening for 4 month before me and my family went to Moscow to go Boston. My mom would also come for Shabbos there and to a seminar they conducted and she too became observant. I and many others had "britmila"- circumcision and got my Jewish name Ariel which means Lion of G-d and is also used in Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 29 as a metaphor for Jerusalem during a 10 day seminar conducted by Agudat Yisrael "I studied at the Torat Haim Yeshiva about 30 miles from Moscow in May 1993 . It had some people who were Chabad and some people who were not-Chabad some who looked Chassidic some who didn't. I did not then understand the many differences in philosophy between various Jewish movements. (I was told misnagdim study more Torah and hassidim do more good deeds.) During a meal at Shavuos [feast of Pentecost], I asked the head of the yeshiva if it was mitnagdic [opponents of Hasidism], he said "For sure not misnagdic since even the Lubavitcher Rebbe Shlit"a said there were no longer any real misnagdic yeshivot. "In that yeshiva, I saw a book in Hebrew that took all the customs of Chabad Lubavitch, scrutinized them, and concluded that Chabad was a form of idol worship (G-d forbid!) . I was confused. In Kishinev, there were warm and friendly relations between Chabad and Agudat Yisrael How could that be if the charges in that book were true Besides the fact that the customs they quoted there were and are common among many other groups Sephardic and Chassidic in particular. "When I came to Boston, I was invited to the home of Rabbi Chaim Zalman Gurkow Shlit"a (who was a then Rabbi at Shaloh House Hebrew Day School and later a director there) for Shabbos. We studied together the laws of who is the Moshiach [Messiah] in the Mishne Torah (Jewish Legal Code) compiled by Rambam (Moses Mimonides) Read this talk of the Rebbe King Moshiach Shlit"a describing the greatness of the Rambam and importance of learning his works and spreading them worldwide even to non-Jews to encourage them to observe 7 Noahide Laws properly ( which creates unity and peace in the whole world and hastens the coming of Moshiach ) this talk of the Rebbe King Moshiach Shlit"a was said on his 83rd birthday which was in the year of 850th aniversary of the Rambam's birth declared by UN, Spain,and Morocco year of the Rambam (Mimonidas) with public study of his works in Torah, medicine and philosophy) and he explained to me why he thinks the Rebbe [Rabbi Menachem Schneerson] fits the description. I went to a Chabad Yeshiva in Morristown. I'd go to the mikveh [ritual pool of water] every morning and study Chabad Hasidism before prayer. That regimen gave me a clear mind. I did not have extraneous thoughts. I felt that the evil inclination was sleeping. "I went to New York for shabbos and visited 770 Eastern Parkway and saw the Rebbe King Moshiach. When he came out on the balcony, people would sing "Long Live the Rebbe King Moshiach Forever and Ever ! And he'd encourage their singing .I saw that the Rebbe supported the idea." Levi: "What have been the negative repercussions to you for believing that the Rebbe is the King Moshiach?" Ariel: "Having to endure some public humiliation. I've had people sometimes yelling that I am an idol worshiper, cultist, or make Chabad look like a cult, dishonoring the "Rebbes memory" etc. "There are two issues here. The issue of believing in the Rebbe as the Moshiach and the issue of promoting that belief. All Chabad Hassidim and other people who took time to reasearch the issue of what the Rebbe was saying about Moshiach and know who is the Rebbe believe he is the Moshiach. I do not know one Chabad rabbi who has said publicly that he does not believe that the Rebbe is the Moshiach. Some of them however , especially those in America, feel that saying publicly that the Rebbe is the Moshiach now after the Gimel Tamuz 5754 the day of the Rebbes concealment creates the wrong association between Chabad and Christianity see also "How Can This Posibly be "Kosher" article by Rabbi Moishe Yess Shlit"a They fear of enduring the few moments of humiliation by people who are still ignorant of the issue (but often can be convinced to learn about it in Torah sources and thus may eventually also adopt this belief or at least understand that it's grounded in Torah and treat people who believe that Rebbe is Moshiach with tolerance and respect as I have exprienced and seen on many ocassions) forgeting that the first thing written in Shulchan Aruch (code of Jewish Law) is that one is to be bold like a leopard in ignoring the mockers (and as the Rebbe commented the rest of the Shulchan Aruch can't be observed without this that's why it's placed in the beginning) ... "One Chabad Shaliach screamed at me for saying the Rebbe was the Moshiach in Shule. Then I was at his house later. I tried to convince him the Rebbe is the Moshiach. He said he knew the Rebbe is Moshiach but if we say it publicly, people will not give money to Chabad and they will not come close to Chabad and they will not study Chabad Hasidism which the Rebbe said is the way to hasten the revelation of Moshiach. I pointed out that he mentioned money as the number one reason forgeting that money comes from HaShem (G-d) and following the instructions of the Rebbe King Moshiach and after that he stopped to oppose my actions in publicizing the identity of Moshiach. (after that i also got a reply from the Rebbe thru Igrot Koidesh saying that I should continue and increase my activitys in this area and then I'll overcome all obstacles in the merit of my my holy ancestors " (Which I'm happy to report has been and is continues to happen ever since Boruch Hashem! (Thank G-d!)) "If people would understand that the Rebbe is the Moshiach and that he is also a prophet and that whatever he says is the word of HaShem, such as not giving away parts of the Holy Land see: TruePeace.org, and the who is a Jew controversy ) and the obligation to listen to his directives not just as those of the Torah sage but of a prophet and a king see Deuteronomy 16,17 and 18 and see in the Rambam's (Mimonides) Mishna Torah Laws of Yisodei haTorah (Foundations of the Torah) and book of Shoftim Laws of Kings ..." Levi: "How many people have given you a hard time for your websites?" Ariel: "Very few until I registered www.bostonchabad.com . When some shluchim (emisaries) in Boston said i had to ask their priour permission to do so. I was told by Rabbi Chaim Yitzhok Cohen of the Beis Moshiach center in London that Rebbe King Moshiach said in a public talk on this issue that every Chabadnik should put a "Chabad House " sign on his home.See "Sichos In English: Every Home A Chabad House. It would be as illogical to demand that I should go to one of "official" Chabad's emissaries and ask if it is right for me to put a Chabad House sign on my "virtual home" as on my actual home particularly since the Rebbe King Moshiach Shil"o (who is alive forever and ever) also said that all Jews are his emisarys (since he himself was appointed by the Previous Rebbe leader of the previous generation etc. going back to Moishe Rabbeinu a"h (Moses our Teacher)who is an emisary of Hashem (the G-d Almighty) . Besides there are plenty of other domain names they can register. "I urge everyone who is reading this to go to their respective emisarys in their communitys and demand that they listen to the Rebbe's directives and stop "concealing" the identity of Moshiach and teach people the "Rebbe King Moshiach's Shil'o talks from 5751-5752 and other books about Moshiach and redemption since the Rebbe said this is the surest way to hasten the redeemption and they must obey his orders even if they don't completly understand them at 1st as is known to any 5 year old Chabad Lubavitch child and as they themselves continue to teach and emphesize thus they should (as Avraham Avinu a"h (Abraham our forefather may he rest in peace) told his father Terach "Let your ears hear what your moth is saying"...) .And proclaim "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu veRabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach LeOilam Vo'ed!"(video)- Long Live the rebbe King Moshiach forever!
