Israel. 78. Resilient. Alive. Impossible to ignore
Torch-lighting ceremony opens at Mount Herzl
HAPPENING NOW
Jews are dancing at the Western Wall in celebration of Israel’s 78th Independence Day.
Look what GROWN Men in Beit Shemesh do on Yom Hazikoron... Stealing Israeli Flags in front of their Children
No one is learning, no one has any empathy for the Kedoishim that sacrificed their lives for the Jewish people, no one has any respect for the country they live in and get benefits from! No Hakoras Hatoiv whatsoever
The truth is that this has been going on for the last two weeks, with residents of Beit Shemesh outraged. I posted this because this was done on a sacred day of Yom Hazikoron , if Palestinians would have done it, we would be screaming from rooftops , but since it's Charedim people tolerate it...
This time plain clothes cops waited for this animal and grabbed him before the crowd realized what was happening! Now they need to take his children away from him and have them put up for adoption by a Dati Leumi family so that they can be civilized!
What is really the Viewpoint of the Gedolim on the army? Really!
by Daas Yochid
Before you read the article below you need to read part one, which I posted on April 18 that I headlined as "Rav wonders why emperor won't put on clothes ....The shidduch initiative and army debacles return"
We made a whole nice shtickel torah about how we are both doing our part protecting the country. Since in pretty much every country, not everyone serves, and the Chareidim weren’t needed, no one really minded.
After Oct 7th, this became impossible. Soldiers were putting their lives on the line in Gaza and bochrim were putting their bodies in their beds at home. This led to an enormous amount of resentment towards chareidim and an enormous amount of insecurity among bochurim. The chareidi myth that our learning is shivyon benetel came crashing down.
Worse, not going to the army and not working became an essential part of chareidi identity, as only the losers left the system to go work. So you ended up with an undercurrent of 30% or so people who couldn’t hack it in yeshiva but cannot psychologically go work. They became our version of welfare kings, being paid to be in kollel but hocking all day long. Many of them couldn’t even work if they wanted to, due to a lack of education.
Finally, the fact that the government is giving millions to married able-bodied men to fulfill their religious fantasies has always caused resentment, but it certainly isn’t the worst thing a government has done with money, so it was tolerated.
60 Minutes Interviews Rachel Goldberg-Polin Talking about the loss of her only son Hersh!
BY Peter Himmelman
Driving to the dentist this morning was difficult. Not only was I dealing with a sore tooth and struggling to find a parking spot, I’d been listening to Rachel Goldberg-Polin on 60 Minutes, speaking about losing her only son, Hersh, to Hamas terrorists.
It’s hard to find parking when your eyes are shedding tears on busy Wilshire Boulevard. It’s hard to be in the world when you’re listening to a woman who, with unearthly grace, indescribable dignity, and bottomless sorrow, is on national television attempting to express the inexpressible. Her composure feels like someone lifting the back of a pickup truck, without wincing, without a single complaint.
We Remember SGT Oz Daniel 19
Oz came out of the tank alive. He tried to grab the terrorist’s grenade - and was shot.
He was kidnapped to Gaza - and over two years later he returned to his final resting place in the sacred soil of the Holy Land. Sgt. Oz Daniel was only 19. Remember our heroes.Oz came out of the tank alive. He tried to grab the terrorist’s grenade - and was shot.

Red-Heads are multiplying: How natural selection has led to more redheads than ever
The whole world could soon be seeing red.
Instead of being the punchline, redheads will have the last laugh, as a new study reports that humans have been constantly evolving to have flame-colored hair.
The finding has challenged previously held ideas about how much natural selection has influenced our DNA over hundreds of thousands of years.
Scientists once thought directional selection — a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype over others — was rare in humans.
A study published last week in the journal Nature featured new DNA analysis of some 10,000 ancient human remains across Europe and parts of Asia, in addition to 5,820 previously published ancient sequences and 6,438 modern ones.
The researchers found that natural selection has played a much larger role in determining which traits survived or declined since the Ice Age, identifying 479 genetic variations that were greatly impacted — many more than the 20 previous instances of directional selection.
Evidence of this kind of natural selection had been lacking for some 300,000 years, since modern humans began splintering off from Africa and relocating around the world.
More than 60% of the traits that were affected are present today. They include physical traits and links to disease risks.
Some of these include fair skin, red hair, risk of celiac or Crohn’s disease, immunity to HIV infection, lower chance of male baldness and lower risk of alcoholism and rheumatoid arthritis.
Other harmful health traits that were influenced include a lower risk of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as lower body fat percentage and waist-to-hip ratio.
While the researchers found that some genetic changes made sense, others were less obvious throughout history, such as gluten intolerance increasing alongside the farming of wheat.
Overall, the findings provide a clearer picture of genetic adaptation and human history.
They could help researchers better understand genetic factors in health and disease and offer the chance to develop new treatments.
“This work allows us to assign place and time to forces that shaped us,” senior study author and Harvard geneticist David Reich said.
Reich and his team plan to repeat their research in other areas, such as East Asia and East Africa, to identify more genetic variations that could help with disease prevention.
Noach's Teiva Found?
A researcher’s bombshell new findings about a strange rock formation in Turkey could prove that Noah’s Ark was real, according to reports.
Andrew Jones, a researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, told GB News that “exciting new findings” about the rock formation first discovered in 1959 on Turkey’s Mount Ararat could prove the boat from the Book of Genesis once existed.
Ground penetrating radar scans and soil samples from the tunnel site — which reportedly match the 515-foot dimensions of Noah’s Ark — uncovered a series of “corridors” below the earth, the outlet reported.
Tunnels were discovered running down the middle of the “boat” and alongside the inside edge of the possible ship, leading to a central cavity Jones called the atrium.
“God told Noah to bring the animals in. And so these animals would have stayed there, plus Noah and his family. What’s interesting is that these voids are lining up below the ground – and they’re not just random,” Jones told the outlet.
“These tunnels are also following a pattern. GPR is just a way to look below the soil using radar. There’s also been studies done with IRT, which is another geophysical technique – and they’re showing a ship-shaped hull still preserved deep in the soil,” the researcher said.
Scientists also uncovered additional evidence from soil samples that could prove that humans constructed the rock formation.
“In 2024, we took 88 random soil samples inside and outside of that ship shape,” Jones recalled. “And what they showed was that the soil inside the ship shape had three times more organic matter than right outside, and 38 per cent more potassium.”
“What that shows is that the soil is unique. And the grass, in the fall, it has a yellower color just inside.”
“It’s exactly the link given to the Bible. It’s 300 Egyptian cubits. For us, these are all positive lines that we’re pursuing, and it’s showing that there’s more to be found,” he said.
Fossil remains found deposited around the boat-shaped site, which sits roughly 6,500 feet above sea level, could also show evidence of the Great Flood, Jones argued.
Ancient coral and seashells uncovered by researchers could prove that “one time this area was underwater,” he added.
The phenomenon, however, could be tectonic plates shifting and raising the rock formation high above the prehistoric ocean.
Jones and his team are now considering exploring the mysterious tunnels with a robotic device.
“We have a team that is designing a robotic, remote-controlled device that could go down inside the holes and explore the tunnels,” he told the outlet.
