Three ingrates

 Three are ingrates: The earth, the woman, and the soul. The earth, as it is stated: “The earth is not sated with water” (Proverbs 30:16). The woman, from where is it derived? “[So is the way of an adulterous woman:] She eats, and wipes her mouth, and says: I did not do wrong” (Proverbs 30:20). The soul, from where is it derived? “But his soul is also not filled” (Ecclesiastes 6:7). Three take abundantly and give abundantly: the earth, the sea, and the government. 

Rabbi Yehoshua of Sikhnin said in the name of Rabbi Levi: “Soul” is written here six times corresponding to the six days of Creation. The Holy One blessed be He said to the soul: ‘Everything that I created during the six days of Creation, I created only for your sake, and you emerge and sin? “When a person will sin.”’

שְׁלשָׁה נוֹטְלִין בְּשׁוֹפַע וְנוֹתְנִין בְּשׁוֹפַע: הָאָרֶץ, וְהַיָּם, וְהַמַּלְכוּת. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ דְּסִכְנִין בְּשֵׁם רַבִּי לֵוִי, שִׁשָּׁה פְּעָמִים כְּתִיב כָּאן נֶפֶשׁ, כְּנֶגֶד שֵׁשֶׁת יְמֵי בְרֵאשִׁית, אָמַר לָהּ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַנֶּפֶשׁ, כָּל מַה שֶּׁבָּרָאתִי בְּשֵׁשֶׁת יְמֵי בְרֵאשִׁית לֹא בָרָאתִי אֶלָּא בִּזְכוּתֵךְ וְאַתְּ יוֹצֵאת וְחוֹטֵאת, נֶפֶשׁ כִּי תֶחֱטָא.

Vayikra Rabba 4:2

To help others, it is important to understand mind control and undue influence.

KEY POINTS

• No one joins a cult; they are recruited by systematic social influence processes.
• Destructive individuals and cults use deception and undue influence to make people dependent and obedient.
• Not all influence is bad. There is a difference between due and undue influence.
• Cult leaders are typically malignant narcissists and want people who will be obedient to them. 

Ever had an experience with a cult or controlling relationship? Have a friend or family member caught up in a black-and-white, all-or-nothing conspiracy cult, multi-level marketing, religious or political group?

To help them or yourself, you need to learn how the mind works and how people can be programmed into a destructive authoritarian cult. Not all are destructive, some are benign. There are specific strategies, patterns, and behaviors used by cultic groups to recruit new members and manipulate and control them.

Nefesh b'Nefesh - The Dark Side

So what is the bright side of NBN? It's the ubiquitous ads which I would image comprise a large part of their budget. Live the dream and all that nonsense.

In other words, the bright side doesn't exist. It's a marketing campaign.

I can't say that I hoped for much help from NBN when I got to Israel because they weren't that helpful in America either. They have a website. It contains some information. That's it really.

They don't have counselors, not real ones, ones that counsel. They have these spoiled ladies from Teaneck that don't even pretend to care about you. You meet for half an hour and any questions after that result in your being directed to the web site. It's always the web site.

NBN certainly doesn't tell you about the downside of aliyah or the dangers. They paint a rosy fantasy because they make a living from you making aliyah.

They don't tell you about the young people going off the derech. That's a big omission. Criminal.
