“After 9/11, I started reading the scary prophets” Palatnik states in the video, “That talked about what happened at the end of days. That when everything is gonna come down, and ultimately the Jews are all gonna move to Israel, and its not that Jews there are going to be immune to any tragedy. But it’s clear, and I checked it with different rabbis, that you’ll be safer in Israel, then anywhere else in the world.”

“So I asked a very great rabbi, ‘when do we go? When is the right time to leave? Because you don’t want to wait until the end.”

In response, Palatnik recalls, the rabbi stated, “When they start killing Jews in the streets.”

“Unfortunately,” Palatnik states, “that’s what’s going on [right now]. France, New York…people are being assaulted, and even killed, simply because they’re Jews.”

According to the website BreakingIsraelNews, Palatnik has been forthright about her views and her belief in the urgency for Jews to make aliyah.

“I speak about this all the time in my community,” Palatnik says. “I talk that way to the people around me. I say, ‘Don’t get fooled. This is coming down. This is happening.’”

In reference to mounting anti-Semitism, Palatnik says that “There’s been a build up. Anti-Semitism is worse than before the Holocaust. In Paris you can’t wear a kippah on the street. Is that what we’re waiting for?”

As an author and educator, Palatnik has written and co-authored a number of books, including Friday Night and Beyond: The Shabbat Experience Step-by-Step; Gossip: Ten Pathways to Eliminate It from Your Life and Transform Your Soul (with Bob Burg); Remember My Soul: What to do in memory of a loved one — A path of reflection and inspiration for shiva, the stages of Jewish mourning, and beyond (with Rabbi Yaakov Palatnik); and Turn Your Husband into Your Soulmate. In March 2015, the Jewish women’s organization Hadassah rated Palatnik one of the “Most Outstanding Jewish American Women Of Our Time.”

“My kids have been told since they were very young, ‘America is not your home,’ Palatnik says. “We’re here doing a job for the Jewish people. Israel is your home.’ I hope and pray that we’ll all end up there.”

“Every time I hear of an incident, every time I hear of another tragedy, and every time I hear ‘they’re killing Jews in the street’, my rabbi’s words resonate with me,” Palatnik says in the video for Aish.com.

“I’m hoping and praying that we will be able to return very soon…history is unfolding before our eyes. And we can’t turn away.”
