Israel will retaliate if Britain imposes sanctions over Israeli construction plans in the E1 area.

 

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar warned Britain on Tuesday that Israel is prepared to respond if London moves ahead with sanctions over Israeli construction plans in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim.

“If Britain acts against Israel, Israel will act against Britain," Sa’ar said in an excerpt from a Hebrew-language podcast interview with Ynet.

Sa’ar said Israel is not taking the possibility of British sanctions lightly and accused the UK government of allowing domestic political considerations to shape its policy toward Israel.

“There is a government there that is systematically acting against Israel. It has already harmed defense exports to us and imposed sanctions on ministers. What guides it is its domestic politics, and at the end of the month the Labour Party conference is convening," he said.

When asked what measures Israel could take in response, Sa’ar did not provide details but made clear that preparations were already underway.

“Why hint at it? What I’ve said is enough. We are preparing. If they make a mistake, there will be a response," he replied.

The warning came hours after British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told lawmakers that Israel's planned development in E1 represented “the crossing of a red line." He argued that construction there would divide territory sought by the Palestinian Arabs for a future state and “risks making a Palestinian state unviable."

“This government will not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution," he said. “We will act and I will set out a comprehensive set of measures in the coming weeks."

Relations between Jerusalem and London have deteriorated in recent weeks following the publication of a tender for seven residential compounds in E1 comprising 1,234 housing units. The projects are part of approximately 3,400 housing units approved for the area last August.

Miliband was quick to condemn the tender and demanded that it be withdrawn. He said at the time he had confronted Sa’ar over the issue and that Britain's Foreign Office had summoned Israel's Chargé d’Affaires.

He also warned that additional measures were being prepared against Israel.

"Britain will not stand back and accept the destruction of the two-state solution. In the coming weeks we will set out a comprehensive set of measures to respond to Israeli government policies, protect the viability of the Palestinian state, target sanctions at those who participate in illegal settlement expansion and support a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians," the UK Foreign Secretary declared.

Sa’ar dismissed Britain's criticism, objecting both to Miliband's position and to the language he used. He also accused Britain of double standards.

"Britain itself still controls colonial territories thousands of miles from its shores. It is absurd for Britain to lecture the Jewish people about where they may live in their historic tiny homeland, when the Jewish people’s connection and right to this land is the most extensively documented of any people in human history."

Sa’ar further disputed London's characterization of the E1 tender as the result of a new Israeli decision.

"There have been no new decisions regarding development in E1. The decision was made in 2025. The tender process has been underway for several months, with certain tender documents published only in recent days. The British Foreign Secretary’s statement is entirely one-sided."

The dispute also drew criticism from Britain's Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis. Last week, Rabbi Mirvis met with Miliband and urged him to reconsider planned British sanctions and trade restrictions targeting Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. He warned that the measures could undermine prospects for peace and have negative consequences for British Jews.

Jewish Insanity! Michigan’s AG says Jews must place others’ needs ‘above their own survival’

 

Jewish Democrat Dana Nessel tells Jewish voters in Michigan not to back Republicans despite accusations of antisemitism against Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, says Jews are obligated to put “the rest of humanity” above their “own survival.”

By David Rosenberg, World Israel News

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told Jewish Democrats that they face a “moral imperative” in November to consider issues beyond their own security and concerns over Israel, as deep divisions over Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed continue to roil the party’s Jewish base.

Nessel, who is Jewish, delivered the remarks Sunday at the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus’ annual “Summer Simcha” gathering in Birmingham, where she was being honored.

The speech came just one day after she skipped the state Democratic Party convention because of concerns that she would be harassed over her views on Israel.

“Come November, what do your Jewish values tell you to do?” Nessel asked the gathering, according to a recording of the speech.

She acknowledged that some Jewish Democrats feel alienated by members of their own party, saying it was easy to resent Democrats who appeared to have “thrown us under the bus.”

But Nessel argued that Jewish voters could not base their decisions solely on concerns about Israel, antisemitism or their own safety.

“We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” she said.

Misinformation and terror surge in Judea and Samaria

 In recent weeks, Israeli settlers have been falsely framed and accused of carrying out attacks, even as statistics show a surge in Palestinian terrorism and rising threats from the Palestinian Authority.

Blima Marcus the Chassidishe nurse machshifa is spreading these lies!

Watch this beautiful slichos with heartful singing and instruments!

 

Watch Charedie Children call Charedie Mothers "SHIKSA"

 While our Gedoilei Hador, out Teirah leaders, are busy trying to stop other Jews from singing Slichos, our children are screaming at Jewish Mothers, who are mothers of other children, who are dedicated wives, who are siblings of other Jews, who have parents ........."SHIKSA"

Where are the parents of these little mamzeirim? Where are they learning this from? Where did they hear that? Where are their mechanchim? 

These children need to taken away and be placed into decent homes before we lose our entire youth! 

Watch this lady begging to pass through, all she wants is to go to work!

But those heartless bastards have learned from their mechanchim not to care! 

Going to Uman for Rosh Hashana ...Read this first!

By EMAILIM BATORAH 

R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, R. Chaim Shmulevitz זצ״ל, and many other Gedolim stated that davening at the קברים of Israeli soldiers הי"ד who were killed — even those who were not  Shomer Torah u’Mitzvos —are as beneficial and effective as davening at קברי צדיקים. NO NEED FOR UMAN, KERESTIER. ETC,   A Yid who gives his life to save other Yidden attains the highest level of קדושה. Chazal declare (Bava Basra 10b): אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתן   No creature can stand within the מחיצה of those who sacrifice themselves for כלל ישראל.   Many struggle to understand how someone who was not a שומר תורה ומצוות — even was עובר על כל התורה כולה — can suddenly become a קדוש the moment he is killed על קידוש השם   The גמרא (קידושין מ"ט) teaches: If a רשע גמור is מקדש  a woman on condition that he is a צדיק, she is מקודשת — שמא הרהר תשובה בדעתו. Perhaps he had a moment of genuine תשובה. From here we see that a רשע גמור can be transformed into a צדיק in an instant. רש"י (תהלים ע"ט) writes: בשר חסידיך – משקבלו פורענותם הרי הם חסידים Once they receive their suffering, they are considered חסידים. Even Yidden who were not observant — if goyim killed them — are elevated to the level of חסידים.   The רמב"ם הל' תשובה פ"ז ה"ד writes that a בעל תשובה should never imagine he is distant from the level of the צדיקים because of his past עבירות. Rather: He is beloved and cherished before Hashem As if he never sinned And his reward is greater, for he tasted sin, separated from it, and conquered his יצר. If this is true for ordinary teshuvah, קל וחומר for one who gives his life for כלל ישראל.   It was deeply moving to stand at the graves of young sixteen‑year‑old boys who escaped Nazi Europe, reached Eretz Yisrael, and ended up being מוסר נפש to protect Yidden. These youths — barely adults — rose to the highest level of קדושה. In עולם האמת, we will never reach their מחיצה. But in this world, we can still stand within their ד׳ אמות, recite a קפיטל תהלים,  לטובת נשמתם הקדושים. Perhaps, Har Herzl E. Rosh Hashanah instead of Uman Rosh Hashanah

Litvishe Gedolei Yisrael Denounce Musical Selichos Events! This will Backfire!

 

This is what I have been screaming about for years, that the Gedoilim especially the Litvaks are totally disconnected from the rest of Klall Yisrael. Beyond the 4 walls of their Bais Ha'Medrish they are clueless about the rest of their brethren. 

In Israel, what happened on October 7 has absolutely no "shaichis" to them, in fact I had a conversation with one of the signatories of the above letter, months after the tragedy, and this Rav looked bewildered when I mentioned to him that there were Hatzalah members that were murdered on Oct 7! He asked me in all earnest "Why would Hatzalah drive towards Gaza on Simchas Torah?" 

Personally, I am not one of those that run to these type of Slichos, but I admit that I did go once to a Carlbach Slichos on the upper West Side and actually found it inspiring.

When I was a child and then a teenager I always davened in Chassidishe Shtiblich, but, I remember that I walked into Rav Gustman's Shul on Eastern Parkway on a Shabbos, and was astonished that they didn't sing Keil Adon, but just said it as if it was Ashrei! Of course years later, I davened in the MIR and Bais Hatalmid and their Shabbos davening was like the weekdays, there was absolutely no difference. They even had a 14 year old boy as the Shliach Tzibber who probably didn't know what the term "nusach" meant, and if I had to guess, I would venture to say that he never found out! 

These "gedoilim" should thank G-d, that after 3,500 years, there are Jews going to Selichos and davening! We all are inspired by different things, and most of the Baalei Teshuva and Giyorim that I met, told me that they were inspired by the singing in the davening! 

When I was growing up, people went to hear Chazzonim, now they can't stand chazzonim, and so, are now doing musical Selichos..... Kol Hakovod! 

I'm pretty sure that the Avoda in the Bais Hamikdash were the Leviim singing and playing their instruments including Shabbos! 

As the High Holy Days approach, leading Lithuanian charedi rabbis have issued a strongly worded letter warning against the growing practice of holding public Selichot services accompanied by musical instruments.

The letter was signed by leading senior rabbis, including Slabodka Rosh Yeshivos Rabbi Dov Landau and Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, and was issued under the evocative heading, “We Tremble and Shudder at the Day of Your Coming.”

The rabbis condemned what they described as an inappropriate trend that has spread in recent years: organizing large-scale “Selichot events” featuring live musical performances.

“Recently, an inappropriate phenomenon has begun in which ‘Selichot events’ are held with musical instruments,” the rabbis wrote. “These Selichot events contradict the very essence of the days of Selichot, which the Sages instituted as a time for repentance, remorse and soul-searching, to purify and sanctify oneself in preparation for the approaching Days of Judgment, and to merit being inscribed and sealed for a good and peaceful life.”

The rabbis cautioned against transforming the solemn religious observance into an entertainment event. “God forbid that a lofty and sacred concept instituted by our Sages should be turned into an event of recreation and a musical performance,” they wrote, adding that such gatherings can also involve “serious breaches of religious standards of holiness and modesty.”

The letter calls on members of the public not to attend such events and urges community leaders to take a clear stand. “We therefore join in strengthening the calls issued by leading rabbis, both those who have passed away and those who are still with us, that people should, God forbid, not participate in such events,” the letter states.

The rabbis also addressed municipal and political officials, calling on them not to provide financial or logistical support for the gatherings. “[There should be] no support or funding for these events by public authorities, in any form,” they wrote.

The letter further draws a distinction regarding the use of musical instruments in synagogues and study halls, which the rabbis say should remain places dedicated to prayer and Torah study. “Certainly, such events should not be held in the sanctuaries of God, the synagogues and houses of study,” they wrote. “Likewise, prayers and the recitation of Hallel should not be conducted with musical instruments.”

The rabbis concluded their letter with a prayer that the community would remain faithful to its religious traditions and the practices handed down by previous generations.

“May the Almighty raise us ever higher, so that we may cleave to the tradition of our fathers, and may He inscribe and seal us for a good life,” they wrote.
