Brisker Rosh Yeshiva Mocks Calling the Satmar Rebbe "Holy"

Rav Soloveitchik, Brisk Rosh Yeshiva, reportedly (not verified) laughed when he saw signs welcoming the Satmar Rebbe stating:
"Honorable Holy & Holy Honorable" Rebbe of Satmar !

He asked:
"What's Holy?"
"He himself? For sure not!"
"Maybe the money"

Satmar Rebbe's Motorcade Shutting Down Traffic & Streets in Zionist State...Satmar Askanim in Constant Talks With Zionist Police

So this guy is trying to convince the naive frum world that he is not taking money from the "medinah" ...........
This visit is costing Israeli taxpayers millions of shekels ... overtime pay for his Zionist Escorts... but he is not taking any money from the "medina"
I'll bet it will cost millions more than he brought ....

The historic visit by the Satmar Rebbe to Israel has met with a tremendous amount of backlash from many groups in Israel, but none as vocal as MK Yulia Malinovsky from Yisrael Beiteinu.

Malinovsky on Monday tweeted a vehement statement lashing out at the Satmar Rebbe.

Malinovsky published an article by the Kol Ha’Ir paper outlining a series of road closures that will be enforced due to the Rebbe’s visit and his public meeting that will take place on Tuesday in Yerushalayim.

“Have we completely lost our minds? Closing off roads because an anti-Zionist Rebbe is visiting? He is opposed to the very existence of the State of Israel. I don’t know how we even let him into the country?”

Meanwhile, Satmar held extensive meetings with (Zionist) police, who have designated a large police force to direct traffic.

As of 4:00PM on Tuesday afternoon the following streets will be closed in Jerusalem:

Brandis, Malchei Yisroel, Sarei Yisroel, intersection of Shamgar and Sarei Yisroel, intersection of Yafo and Sarei Yisroel. Police have stated that cars will not be allowed onto streets that fed into these areas either.

Police are advising motorists to schedule their travel before the roads close so as to avoid the heavy traffic expected on alternate routes.

Satmar Rebbe Arrives in the Zionist State in a Private Jet

Was met at BEN GURION airport by 3 1/2 chassidim ..... after arriving in the Zionist State ...

He supposedly came to give chizuk to Israeli Jews, bringing some US dollars that he schnorred from the poorest community in the USA, to hand out to the liars that say that they don't take money from the Medinah ....

He flew in with a private jet that his supporters say was from some rich chasid ....

According to Satmar Chassidim that arranged this trip the money spent on this jet could have supported thousands of Israeli families!

Observe stringent kashrut, but not at the expense of your host

Because of its popularity amongst our readers, we are continuing our Kashrut series .....

A Guest who keeps Mehadrin, Hosted by Someone who keeps Standard Kashrut

A question that troubles many people:

How should someone who meticulously keeps the halakha’s of kashrut and buys only products that are kosher l’mehadrin behave when he is a guest at his brother, relative, or friend who keeps kosher according to halakha, but purchases standard kosher products, and is not meticulous in the minhagim of mehadrin kashrut laws?

I will first open with the summary of the halakha, and then I will elaborate on its sources and reasons.

Watch : Police rescue kidnapped 8-year-old hiding in laundry basket

Video footage captured the moment Texas police officers burst through a hotel room door and rescue a kidnapped 8-year-old girl hiding in a basket of laundry.

The body camera footage released by police shows cops in Fort Worth bang on the door and demand the kidnapper raise his hands when they enter the room.

Once they have the suspect in handcuffs, cops then locate the kidnapped girl, who was in a basket.

“Got her, we got her, we got her,” one of the officer’s yells, according to the video.

The dramatic scene capped a frantic search by police. The 8-year-old who was snatched off a street while walking with her mother on May 18, NBC News reported.

Authorities circulated an image of the suspect’s car and a tipster eventually called 911 when he saw the vehicle in the parking lot of the hotel in suburban Fort Worth, according to the report.

The kidnapper, Michael Webb, was busted for kidnapping and convicted in September.

He was sentenced to life in prison last week.

America has finally decided the Bible is not illegal

Fellow Jews ...... Read how a goy sees the situation and then read Der Yid .....

Today, the U.S. State Department has just announced that it will no longer use the term “settlements” to describe Judea and Samaria, a term employed by the UN. In my view, this decision means that the United States has decided that the Bible, in terms of Israel, is not illegal.

Why is this a big deal?

This is a major blow to the BDS movement, which calls to “boycott, divest and sanction” the State of Israel, in addition to a snub to the recent European Court of Justice’s call to label products from Jewish businesses in Judea and Samaria.

The European Court of Justice ruled that:

“Foodstuffs originating in the territories occupied by the state of Israel must bear the indication of their territory of origin.”

Regrettably, Jew-haters are able to use the land to mobilize support in their favor, resulting in the United Nations referring to this as “occupied territory” and demanding that Israel relinquish it to hostile forces.

West Bank settlements not illegal, US decides in historic US policy shift

In a historic reversal of US policy, the Trump administration announced on Monday that it does not view Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal. The policy change was set to be formalized in an official address by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington.

The decision, The Jerusalem Post has learned, came after a year-long review conducted by the State Department’s legal office. The team met with international law experts as well as officials from different governments to hear their opinions.

The review was prompted by the Obama administration’s decision to enable the passing of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 in December 2016, according to which settlement activity constitutes a "flagrant violation" of international law and has "no legal validity".

In 1978, the Carter administration concluded that the establishment of civilian settlements was inconsistent with international law but Reagan overturned that stance in 1981. Until Obama, administrations recognized that settlement activity could be an obstacle to peace but mostly didn’t get caught up on legal positions.

It was not immediately clear how the new policy would impact the future roll out of the Trump peace plan.

America Going To Hell Fast........ 26 Muslim candidates won elections nationwide

This month, 26 Muslim candidates across the U.S. — including some in metro Detroit in cities like Hamtramck and Dearborn Heights — won local election races, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

A total of 34 Muslim candidates won in 2019. Three Muslims were elected Nov. 5 to Hamtramck City Council, ensuring the six-member council will remain Muslim-majority, which became so four years ago.

Out of the 166 Muslim candidates examined in the study, 29 of them were in Michigan, and out of those, 10 ran for statewide and federal offices, which was the focus of the study.

The study was done by professors and researchers at Washington State University, Columbia University, Western Washington University, and Pennsylvania State University, who described it as “a multiplatform study of trolls: social media, fringe media, and the real world.”

Beit Shemesh has the largest number of children per family

At the end of 2018, a total of 2.960 million children (0-17) lived in Israel.

These children made up 33% of the country's total population, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics said Monday morning.

A full 2.131 million of the children (72%) are Jews, while 731,000 were Arabs (24.7%) and another 98,000 (3.3%) were "other" - a label used to include non-Arab Christians and other groups not identified by religion.

Of large cities with over 100,000 residents, Jerusalem had the greatest percentage of children, at 39%. In Haifa, Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, and Bat Yam, children represented approximately one-fifth of the city's population.

Israel had an average of 2.43 children per household in 2018, and Beit Shemesh had the highest number of children per household, at 3.67.

KAROL MARKOWICZ

Last week, Israel once again faced a barrage of rockets from Gaza while most of the mainstream Democratic candidates whistled and looked away.

Candidates don’t have to comment on every event happening around the world, but the silence of much of the Democratic field feels like more than passing disinterest. And when Vice President Joe Biden offered even a bland message of support for Israel that would have been unremarkable a few years ago, he got massive pushback from the left on Twitter.

And it’s those activists on Twitter, and in the campus fever swamps, who shape the progressive conversation on Israel.

It’s terrifying.

Satmar Causes Huge Chilul Hashem Closing Traffic Inconveniencing Thousands of New Yorkers

Watch the attached videos how the entire BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway) was shut down by the NYPD – inconveniencing thousands of non-Jewish New Yorkers – so the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg and his motorcade of black SUV’s with lights and sirens can get to the airport in a hurry to begin his trip of fighting the Zionist regime.

Satmar's biggest complaint against the Zionists is that "they incite gentiles."

Which is a bizarre statement about a country that has over 6 million Jews living there and just defended themselves against a barrage of over 400 missiles ......

It was Yad Hashem that not one Israeli was killed .... the country is so tiny and is densely populated yet miracles of miracles no one was killed ....

But when it comes to Satmar then it's ok to stop traffic all over New York to accommodate the Rebbe on his way to the Zionist State a country that he hates ..... inconveniencing thousands of New Yorks...

B'H the story wasn't in the goyishe media .....

Who knows what would Chas Ve'sholom happen if they find out!

Neturei Karta Leader Prays That Israel Be Erased And The Whole World Should Worship Allah

Interesting that this evil piece of turd speaks fluent Hebrew .... also

know that Satmar agrees 100% with his statement that Israel belongs to the Arabs and Jews have no right to set up a government before the arrival of Moshiach, and moreover the Satmar rebbe writes in his sefer ‘vayoel Moshe” that the only thing holding back Moshiach is Medinas Yisroel, and as long as Jews have sovereignty over Eretz Yisroel he will not come, and yes he writes that every Jew when praying three times a day when saying the bracha of ‘V’LAMALSHINIM” in the SHEMONEI ESRAH when saying “v’hamalchus zadon meheira s’akar” we should all have in mind Medinas Yisroel”

The only thing Satmar would not agree with this guy, is his last idiotic statement about ‘allah”

Yes Satmar has nothing to do with Neturai Karta ,but ideologically they are brother in arms and working 24/7 to besmirch and weaken and hurt and try to destroy our one and only God given Eretz Yisroel

One of the heads of the Neturei Karta, Yisroel Meir Hirsch, published a video last week during the rocket attacks on Israel that raised the ire of hundreds of thousands of Israelis.

While the Palestinians were launching rockets at Israel and millions of people were huddled in bomb shelters, Hirsch said that the entire land of Israel belongs solely to the Palestinians and that he wishes the speedy “nullification of the Zionist-terrorist-regime. The lands, which are all Palestinian, should be returned to the nation of Palestine.” Towards the end of the video, he said: “The world should serve Allah under one name.”

The video which Hirsch said in Hebrew, was broadcast by Palestinian media channels and had English subtitles on it for those who don’t understand Hebrew.

Hirsch opened by saying: “To our brothers and friends, the Palestinian people, who are under the continuing occupation, under the boots of the Zionist occupation, and to all those who search for peace among the nations throughout the world. We, the authentic Palestinian Jews who represent the Jewish nation in Palestine and throughout the entire world, wish to express our unequivocal opposition to the Zionist State and to the brutal crimes of the occupation.”

“We hereby declare that there is no such solution as the Two-State Solution. The entire land of Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people only. They are the legitimate owners of all of Palestine, and the Zionists have no right to any piece of the land, not even a centimeter.

“We also wish to clarify here that the position of J-Street and such like-minded organizations do not represent the Jewish people and are certainly not benefiting the Palestinian people. The entirety of their position is a lie and a diversion tactic against those who seek peace and justice, as they promote a false discourse of rights which totally rejects the basic rights of Palestinians.

“They talk about strengthening the democracy of the Zionist State during a time when Zionist is based solely on a complete dictatorship and the complete negation of the basic human rights of the Palestinian people who are under a violent and cruel occupation without an ounce of democracy that is accepted in the rest of the world.”

“Their entire goal is to maintain a demographic Zionist majority in the land in conjunction with an apartheid rule that is based on the racial theory of Zionism, in what they refer to as the State of Israel.

“We hope and yearn for the abolishment of the Zionist regime of terror, for the return of all Palestinian refugees to the homes and their historical lands so that we may all live in peace and brotherhood just as we lived with our Palestinian brethren before the rise of the Zionist monstrosity, and that the entire world should worship Allah with one voice. Inshallah!”

BDS Don't Like It When They Get a Taste of Their Very Own Medicine

Elise Stefanik the new Voice of the Republican Party

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., emerged this week as a central figure on the Republican side of the House Intelligence Committee in the public impeachment hearings -- and a top antagonist of Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

The 35-year-old lawmaker featured prominently as tensions boiled over between lawmakers on Friday during the questioning of former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., attempted to give up the remainder of his time to her. But as Stefanik spoke, Schiff slammed down the gavel, arguing that it was not allowed under committee rules: "The gentlewoman will suspend."

"What is the interruption for now?" she shot back.

What followed was a debate between Nunes and Schiff as to whether the Republican could offer his time to a fellow member of Congress, rather than minority counsel. Stefanik repeatedly tried to speak, only for Schiff to bang his gavel again.

"You're gagging the young lady from New York?" Nunes laughed at one point.

The Rabbis running the Badatz Kashrut keep reminding frum Jews that are makpid to eat only kosher that the Rabbanut hechsher is worthless ....

So far all kashrut scandals are only with Heimishe products ......

Strauss the chocolate manufacture that has a Badatz Hechsher, announced last week that their bitter chocolate bars with 60% cocoa solids and no added sugar with the barcode 72901-123321 1100 were mislabeled as parve, when they do in fact contain dairy ingredients ..

Strauss is recalling the products ....

Badatz refused to comment ..

At Lyon Airport France ..... Baggage Handlers Refuse to Release Suitcases Belonging to Jews!

Here is the testimony from a traveler on that flight:

We landed in Lyon Saint-Exupéry on Sunday, November 10, 2019, on a Transavia flight from Tel Aviv. The plane landed as planned at 5:20 p.m. At the passport control desk in Terminal 1, usually crowded, there was no one but the passengers from our flight. Ten minutes later, around 5:30 p.m., everyone was in front of the luggage conveyor 02, as shown on the screens, waiting for their suitcases.

At around 5:50 p.m., some of the passengers began to show their surprised for the time it took to unload our luggage, especially since at this stage of the events, we are still the only flight waiting for luggage, the other luggage conveyors being empty.

Pelosi coup coup in Trump impeachment push

by Michael Goodwin

Three witnesses, 11 hours of testimony and endless squabbling between Republicans and Democrat Adam Schiff. That’s the bare-bones tally of the first two days of public impeachment hearings.

Along the way, patient viewers learned many things, some interesting but none decisive. So we don’t know the final score, but we do know the big loser.

America, in a landslide. Make that a mudslide.

(כי שמע אלקים אל קול הנער באשר הוא שם ( כא' יז

For Hashem has heard the voice of the lad as he is (21:17)

Rashi explains that although the angels were trying to have Yishma'el die in his illness on account of his future actions, namely that his descendants would torture the Jews to death (see Rashi for details). Hashem countered their claim and said that since at this point he is still righteous he is judged as he is at this point in time.

How the Democrats bungled the first day of public impeachment hearings

by John Podhoretz

If Democrats think they advanced their case for impeachment with the first day of hearings into the Ukraine matter, they are deluding themselves. The proceedings were confusing, not clarifying.

Speaking as someone who has followed this matter in granular detail, I found it extremely difficult to tease out the set of undeniable facts that would prove Donald Trump did something so appalling he should be the first president in history to be removed from office and only the third to be impeached. And I assure you, I am willing to be convinced.

The problem is that the argument Democrats were presenting intertwined allegations of arguably impeachable misbehavior — the president blackmailing a foreign government with the leverage of foreign aid into helping him with a political favor — with complaints about the way the president conducts his foreign policy that have no place in an impeachment inquiry.

Rabbi Danny Myers Invites Diaspora Jewry to ‘See The Redemption Unfold’ in Eretz Israel

Jews who visit Israel and those who decide to live in the Land are always struck by the amazing fertility bursting around us, despite the fact that just 70-odd years ago, most of this country was essentially a barren wasteland.

Rabbi Danny Myers of Kehillat Menorat Hamaor in Ramat Beit Shemesh quotes the Nazir, a student of Israel’s first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Kook, who discusses a passage chanted in Jewish prayers three times a day: “We hope that our eyes behold when You, God, return to Zion, to Jerusalem, to Israel in Your Mercy.”

The rabbi is one of a group of mainstream rabbis and rebbetzins from English-speaking countries who have fulfilled the mitzvah of returning to the Land of Israel, and who are participating in the “Bring Them Home” project.

Each of these leaders has recorded a brief video in which they discuss the mitzvah of returning to the Land, and the importance of actually living here in Israel.

Rabbi Myers explains that the Nazir says the passage is not asking the Creator to allow us to live in the Holy Land when He Returns, during the Redemption, but rather, to allow Jews to be able to see His return.

Drudge knows which side his bread is buttered on–the search for more clicks!

We remember when the Drudge Report played up President Trump’s successes; he was one of the few sites that did. Since August, the Drudge Report has been pushing one negative Trump story after another on the website.

Has Drudge turned on President Trump just like the opportunist Ann Coulter?

It’s starting to look that way. The site’s tone has changed and some days you can’t tell the Drudge Report from CNN.

Has Matt Drudge abandoned conservatism?

Everyone is noticing, so the negative stories are not an outlier.

Matt Drudge has sold his conservative soul for clicks and money. In August, the Drudge Report dropped its advertising representative of close to 20 years, Intermarkets, in favor of a new and unknown company, Granite Cubed.

Author and political commentator, Jerome Corsi, has repeatedly tweeted about the shift in coverage, saying Drudge has “lost his mind,” “turned left,” and become a “leftist hack beating [the] impeachment drum.”

The reclusive Matt Drudge is a one man box of mystery, we may never know the whole truth.

Dramatic moment drivers cheat death when a rocket fired from Gaza explodes just behind them on an Israeli highway

This is the moment drivers cheated death after a rocket fired from Gaza exploded just behind them on an Israeli highway.

Surveillance footage showed the rocket slamming into the road near the city of Ashdod, causing a flash of fire and a cloud of smoke as cars raced away from the blast.

The rocket was one of a barrage of retaliatory strikes from the Gaza Strip today after Israel's military killed a Palestinian terror leader.

Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu Al-Ata and his wife both died in a targeted Israeli airstrike last night.

Amid heightened tensions, air raid sirens rang out across Israel today while residents ran to bomb shelters and the military said 50 rockets had been fired at Israeli territory.

Israel At War? IDF Eliminates Senior Islamic Jihad Terrorist ... 2 Terrorists Eliminated in Damascus! Rocket barrage on central and southern Israel

In a joint operation by the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), a building in the Gaza Strip, in which the Palestinian Islamic Jihad senior leader Baha Abu Al Ata stayed in, was attacked overnight .

The operation was authorized by the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Binyamin Netanyahu.

Following the operation, Red Color sirens were sounded throughout the Gaza envelope.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said Abu Al Ata was responsible for most of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s activity in the Gaza Strip and was a “ticking bomb”. Abu Al Ata led and personally participated in terror attacks and in attempts to harm Israeli civilians and IDF troops through rocket fire, sniper fire, drone launching and more.

Baha Abu Al Ata is responsible for most of the terror attacks in the last year from the Gaza Strip, the battle days which occurred around Israeli Memorial Day, rocket fire towards a music festival in the city of Sderot on the 25th of August, and lastly the rocket fire towards the city of Sderot on Friday, November 1st 2019.

Posters Against Satmar Rebbe's Visit in Israel Plastered All Over Yerushalyim

It seems that R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, Williamsburg Rebbe will be getting a taste of his own medicine ...he isn't going to like this one bit ..

There isn't a block in Meah Shearim that doesn't have posters plastered against the Satmar Rebbe ....

The Kinaim of Meah Shearim are upset that the Rebbe capitulated to the New York Board of Educating and is allowing the BOE to dictate Satmar secular curriculum..

The posters are asking the Satmar Rebbe not to bring his "bribe" money to the holy Moisdois of Yerushalyim ....and they will not take a penny from his "dirty" money ....

"what goes around.... comes around..

The Difference Between Standard and Mehadrin Kashrut

In the previous column, I explained the difference between standard and mehadrin kashrut, namely, that standard kashrut goes according to the rules of halakha, whereas mehadrin kashrut takes into consideration the strict opinions, beyond what is required by halakha.

Incidentally, if there are any readers who know differently, and indeed, there is a halakhic issue in which the standard hechsher (a rabbinical product certification, qualifying items that conform to the requirements of halakha) follows a method that does not conform to the rules of halakha, please inform me.

To be more precise:
There is no hechsher, even the highest quality mehadrin, which meets the requirements of all strict opinions, in a case where the hidur (embellishment) involves extremely high costs, the mehadrin are usually also lenient.

In other words,
the difference between standard kashrut and mehadrin is not absolute, for even standard kashrut when it is not difficult, take into consideration the more stringent opinions, even if it involves a disagreement in Divrei Chachamim (rabbinical ordinance), and most poskim permit.

An example of this is the chumra (stringency) of the Chief Rabbinate in the Land of Israel regarding chalav nochri (milk not produced under Jewish supervision):
