Good news for Emmanuel Macron: The Torah says he’s going to win the French presidency.
That’s the prediction that Rabbi Meir Turnheim, a Chabad chossid from the Israeli city of Lod, is making based on his numerical calculations of words in the Torah reading on the day of the election.
The centrist Macron is facing nationalist Marine Le Pen of the National Front (FN) party in a run-off election to be held on Sunday, 7 May 2017. It is the first time in French history that no candidate of a major party is in the race.
Turnheim based his announcement on Parshas Emor, chapter 21, verse 12, which is the Torah reading for the Sunday of the elections.
Using his complex reading method of singling out letters from the Torah to predict current events, he concluded from the verse that “Emmanuel Macron will be president.”
“As a believing Jew, I grew up on the notion that everything is written in the Torah,” he told the Israeli website Bechadrei Chadarim.
“In every single election in Israel over the last 20 years I have searched in the Chumash reading of election day and always found the name of the winner written clearly by the skipping of letters.”
Current polls in France suggest Macron will easily beat Le Pen in the second round.
Turnheim claims to have predicted the unexpected wins of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Issac Herzog in the 2015 election and of Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton in the 2017 election, and the recent loss of Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
“There was a Jew that started putting on Tefillin after he lost a bet that Clinton will win,” he says. “He saw that everything is written in the Torah and did Teshuvah.”

and predict attacks on Jews, or terrorist attacks, or natural disasters that kill people, or measles outbreaks because of fools, or any other number of things that would actually save lives?? This ‘prediction’ of elections is nonsense! I’ts irrelevant, Predict someting relevant, and then we can all be impressed!
he was so true that so cool!
It was in a youtube video months before the election by rabbi matesyahu glazerson that trump would win. Just look up rabbi glazerson in youtube and see the date of the video
woww its incredible
not one of those codes has acutally predicted an event. stop protesting and see that they all reveal the torah’s knowledge of instances, but they were only revealed after it happened. if someone can predict an event, with more than this nonsensical 50/50 probability but rather something “unpredictable” like lottery numbers, stock market major changes, or – g-d forbid – terrorist attacks, then i will be sold on the “decoders”. until then, they’re just messing with feeble minds!
…and the prohibition of ‘predicting the future’ etc.
As to the other elections he ‘predicted correctly’, while one side was favored to win, the polls were pretty close to be in the margin of error. Simple 50-50 odds.
Macron has a 20+ point lead in the polls the day of the election. I could make the same prediction without the need for advil after all that math…
He has seen amazing things in bible code. He told us trump would be elected months before the election. He has shown dates and places and names that not only show events but what we should be doing in avodat hashem. The torah told what will happen. Its not people predicting
OK, so then he can predict ‘futures” that’s even better then stocks,, (for example,, let him predict the futures of global wheat market,, )
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm
Desperately !!
Trump in USA
May in UK
Maybe some hope for the world after all
Even individuals used to be able to come to the Navi (when the Beis Hamikdash, stood) and get personal Nevuah, to find out things they were doing wrong and how to correct it.
So it should be OK to find such things even for individuals in the Torah Codes as well.
macron means more of the same. Bad but nothing new. We know how to deal.
le pen means pack your bags now!!!
This guy’s just guessing on a 50/50 or better just watching the polls and g-d save the Jews of France and the whole french population if that idiot macron wins
LePen represents, at worst, old-fashioned French antisemitism (to her credit, she has worked hard to reach out to the Jewish community). Emmanuel Moron represents more Muslim violence, terrorism, and a highly unstable future for Europe.
I think Macron spells his last name with a “chof” not a “kuf”.
why? you want le pen
The Torah does not reflect the future reality. Instead the Torah MAKES the reality. By finding a message in Torah – THAT creates the fruition of that message. This ISN’T fortune telling but “paskening” al pi Torah’s horahas of what must happen.
Let us pray he is wrong
Heaven help if he is
This doesn’t prove anything, all it shows that randomly you can pick letters and make it fit your agenda
if he is right on the next 5 global elections….. I would take it back
its a 100/0
It this even muttar Al pi Torah?
that’s fine. i don’t need the best stock to buy, just one that will go up instead of down.
Because the torah is concerned about the jewish people as a whole leading to end of times and moshiach and not one individual who wants to be rich
Be considered or fall under the category of misuse or misappropriation of the holy Torah. Not kosher.
Because it’s easy to be correct when it’s a 50/50
Indeed if he can predict elections then why can’t he predict the best way to predict lottery tickets etc…
Can he please predict lottery tickets, stocks, etc etc..??
LOL
if it works for election why not those..
HMMMMMMM
