Shocking Revelation: The Frum Parties Rejected a proposal that could have solved the Gius Crisis TWO YEARS AGO

 

While Degel HaTorah and Shas are currently threatening to dissolve the Knesset on the grounds that Netanyahu is unable to pass a conscription law, it turns out that two years ago, senior members of the ultra-Orthodox parties received an alternative proposal from the center-left bloc to pass a law that was more agreed-upon and convenient for them – but rejected it out of hand 

A political bombshell was dropped today (Wednesday) at a dramatic gathering of Knesset members of Degel HaTorah, when the head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Landau, gave an unequivocal order: to act to dissolve the Knesset as soon as possible, following the crisis surrounding the conscription law.

The decision marked the collapse of the long-standing political alliance between the ultra-Orthodox public and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and threatens to dismantle the government in the immediate term.

While the ultra-Orthodox parties admit that Netanyahu will not help pass the conscription law, the Kikar HaShabbat editorial board has received information that now reveals the magnitude of the failure of the ultra-Orthodox parties in dealing with the issue of the status of yeshiva students.

Sources familiar with the matter note that already two years ago, even before the conscription law became one of the most volatile issues in the political system, secret meetings were held between senior members of Degel HaTorah, including Knesset member Moshe Gafni, together with representatives of the Gur Hasidic community and senior officials from the center-left bloc.

During those meetings, the ultra-Orthodox were presented with a clear commitment that if they ran with the center-left bloc in the elections, they would help them pass a conscription law that is more convenient and better for the ultra-Orthodox public than the one proposed by Netanyahu.

However, despite the proposal, senior ultra-Orthodox officials made it clear unequivocally: "We will go with Netanyahu with fire and water."

It should be noted that Shas conveyed a clear message at the time that the party would act in accordance with the decision of Degel HaTorah, and would go along with it in any political decision.

Now, after two years of promises, postponements and crises over the conscription law, the ultra-Orthodox parties themselves are effectively admitting that the law is not expected to pass in the current term.

 Senior members of Shas and Degel HaTorah are already threatening to advance the elections on the same issue, which, according to political sources, could have been resolved even then.

Rav Landau Issues "FATWA" to dissolve the Knesset

 

What is interesting is that this is exactly what the Attorney General wanted all along! Charedim hate the AG, yet will join even the Arab party to get what they want. 

The dissolution of the Knesset is not something that will happen overnight, it is a process. This move by Rav Landau is really nothing, and he knows it, since we are going to have elections very soon anyway, it was calculated move to remain relevant. 

 We will soon see if Rav Landau's move burned both bridges. In his letter to his gofers he mentions that he "lost trust in Netanyahu." Netanyahu is the only guy that can actually help the Charedim !

Pass the popcorn!!

Netanyahu's response!

Amid the ongoing enlistment crisis, Lithuanian Haredi leader Rabbi Dov Lando instructed the Knesset members of the Degel HaTorah faction to work toward dissolving the Knesset as soon as possible, declaring that “there is no longer any trust in Netanyahu."

The directive was issued during a meeting in which the party’s Knesset members reviewed the current political situation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s clarification that he would have difficulty passing the enlistment law at this time.

“From now on, we will do only what is good for haredi Judaism and the yeshiva world," Rabbi Lando's office stated, adding that “the concept of a ‘bloc’ no longer exists for us," in reference to the right-wing bloc.

Party officials emphasized that, contrary to various reports, there is full unity and cooperation between Degel HaTorah and Shas regarding how to act on the issue of the status of yeshiva students.

The decision comes against the backdrop of the growing crisis between the haredi parties and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the failure to pass an enlistment law.

At the same time, the Yesh Atid party announced that it has submitted a bill to dissolve the Knesset, which is expected to be brought for debate next week.

Saturday Night Live Now into Antisemitism and audience laughs

 

SNL’s Weekend Update this weekend: “The man controlling our military — Benjamin Netanyahu.” That’s the Jewish control trope. Not satire. Not commentary. A centuries-old antisemitic narrative with a laugh track. Criticize Israeli policy. Criticize Netanyahu. But when the punchline depends on the Prime Minister of the world’s only Jewish state pulling the strings of American power, you’re not making a political joke. You’re recycling something much darker. The fact that it landed — that the audience laughed — is the part worth sitting with.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Zutshka Rebbe chastises Chusid that was sad that he couldn't go to Meron on Lag Be'Omer "Were you sad that that we couldn't do the Korban Pesach??

 Over the past week, the charedi public felt a painful sense of loss after the cancellation of the Meron hilula. The images of the deserted mountain, the barricades, and the locked gates of Meron preventing access to the courtyard of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai pierced the hearts of those accustomed to gathering in the shadow of Rabbi Shimon on Lag BaOmer. 

One chasid brought this pain into the room of the Zutshka Rebbe, but the answer he received echoed far beyond the walls of that room.

According to the story, published in last Friday’s edition of HaMevaser, the Rebbe listened to the chasid’s sorrow over the dancing that was lost and the prayers that were prevented. But then he responded with a question that struck deeply:

“Tell me, dear Jew, two days ago, when we were unable to ascend and appear on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and offer the ‘Second Passover’ sacrifice, were you also this distressed? Did you also sigh? Did you also groan?”

The Rebbe did not stop there. In a voice trembling with longing, he continued asking the surprised chasid whether his heart was broken over the fact that foxes walk on the Temple Mount, and whether he feels an inner pain over every passing day without the daily and additional Temple offerings.

During the lighting ceremony held in Bnei Brak, the Rebbe shared with the crowd the challenging insight arising from the complicated reality of recent years in Meron. He wondered aloud whether the fact that for seven years, since the terrible disaster and now with the wartime restrictions,the pilgrimage celebration has not taken place in its proper form might itself be a message from Heaven.

“Who knows if this is not what Heaven is trying to hint to us,” the Rebbe told the crowd. “Perhaps Heaven wishes to awaken us to the exile of the Divine Presence? To awaken us to yearn and long, to sigh and weep over the humiliation of the City of G-d, which has sunk low to the depths?”

The Rebbe’s words seek to transform the tangible pain over Meron into a catalyst for spiritual growth and longing for a rebuilt Jerusalem. The message is clear: if we are capable of feeling such a deep sense of loss over being absent from Mount Meron for one day a year, then we must examine ourselves : Does that same feeling exist within us regarding the Holy Temple and the sacrificial service that is absent from our lives every single day?

This presents an entirely different perspective on the “Meron decree”, not merely as a security or administrative issue, but as a wake-up call for the Jewish heart to awaken to the truest and deepest longing of the entire nation: for the Divine Presence which is dwelling in exile.

Incredible Article in The New York Times Stating that the IDF Trains Dogs to rape Palestinians something that is biological impossible !

by Matt Field

The New York Times published a piece today by Nicholas Kristof claiming that Israeli soldiers coached a military dog to rape a Palestinian detainee.

A trained rape dog. In the pages of the New York Times. In 2026.

The claim rests on one unnamed source. No corroboration. No second account. No named witness. No forensic evidence. The claim simply appears, is presented as part of a pattern of documented Israeli abuse, and moves on.

 Kristof does not pause on it. He does not flag it as extraordinary. He treats it the way you would treat any other reported detail, because to him, apparently, it is.

This is worth dwelling on. The New York Times has editors. It has a fact-checking process. It has, or once had, an institutional belief that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A claim that a military power has operationalized animals as instruments of sexual torture is, by any measure, an extraordinary claim. It ran anyway. On the basis of one man who will not give his name.

There is a reason for that. Accusations against Jews have always enjoyed a unique exemption from the standards applied everywhere else. The blood libel did not require evidence. The well-poisoning did not require evidence. The global conspiracy did not require evidence. What they required was a willingness to believe, and that willingness has never been difficult to locate. The specific accusation changes with the century. The suspension of disbelief is permanent. When the target is Jewish, the bar does not just lower. It disappears.

Now hold that against what could not clear the bar after October 7, 2023.

Doctors who treated released hostages reported that at least ten men and women had been sexually assaulted or abused in captivity. Two physicians confirmed that many of the thirty female hostages between the ages of twelve and forty-eight had suffered sexual assault. Bodies were recovered with torn clothing and blood near their genitals. The UN’s own special representative later found reasonable grounds to believe rape and gang rape occurred at multiple locations, and clear and convincing evidence that hostages continued to be raped in captivity.

It took UN Women eight weeks to issue any condemnation of the Hamas attack. They posted it, then deleted it. Another week passed before they acknowledged “disturbing reports of gender-based and sexual violence on October 7.”

Named doctors. Released hostages. Forensic indicators. Months of silence.

One unnamed man and a dog. The New York Times opinion section.

The New York Times does not have a standards problem. It has a Jews problem

The obligation of Genizah in the Age of Recycling

 

by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed

Q: Must the ‘Revivim’ articles and other articles containing Torah content in the newspaper ‘Besheva’ be placed in genizah?

A: Although there are many opinions on this matter, the practical ruling is that they do not need to be placed in genizah, and it is permissible to place the newspaper in recycling bins or in the trash, while taking care that the newspaper not be open to the Torah articles.

In order to explain the halakha properly, I will also clarify related issues.

The mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael or a false sense of security?

 

American Jews stand at a critical crossroads, caught between a centuries-old religious mandate and the fraying promise of the “Golden Medina." On one side stands the ancient obligation of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael-the commandment to settle and live in the Land of Israel, the only true home for Jewish sovereignty and the fullest expression of Jewish national life. On the other side is the modern conviction that the United States offers a unique, pluralistic sanctuary where Jewish safety can be secured through integration, political advocacy, and social acceptance.

Yet as antisemitism rises with alarming force across the West, this sense of security is being tested. What many American (and UK) Jews once viewed as a durable strategy may now be revealed as something far more fragile: a psychological defense mechanism. The question is no longer theoretical. Are American (and UK) Jews preserving a strategic haven in the Diaspora, or are they exchanging the mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael for the illusion of permanent safety?

Living in the Land of Israel is considered a fundamental religious duty because the Land is viewed as the natural environment for the Jewish soul and the only place where Torah can be fulfilled in its entirety. This concept, known as Yishuv Eretz Yisrael, is rooted in the biblical command to “possess the Land and dwell in it," which the Ramban, Nachmanides, identifies as a permanent obligation for every generation.

Beyond the legal requirement, the Talmud emphasizes the unique spiritual connection between the Jew and the Land, teaching that one who lives in Israel is more closely bound to the Divine Presence. Practically, many of the Torah’s commandments-especially those related to agriculture, such as tithes, ma’aserot, and the Sabbatical year, Shemittah-can be observed only within the borders of the Land.

Consequently, religious authorities have often described living in Israel not merely as a place of residence, but as a “super-mitzvah," one that elevates all other religious acts and serves as the ultimate expression of Jewish national and spiritual identity.

Tyler Oliveira Just Found Out that Kiryas Yoel and Lakewood is Not Israel ..

Even though Charedim are against the army and against the State of Israel, they must be kvelling that the Zionists don't take crap from American antisemites! 

Israel is not Kiryas Yoel that allowed this menuval into their shuls or Lakewood where he was able to roam around freely and harass. 

Just for this incident alone, we appreciate and thank the RBS"O that we have a State and an Army to protect her! 

Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli recommended that the Population and Immigration Authority prevent the entry of American YouTuber Tyler Oliveira into Israel.

Oliveira landed in Israel and was denied entry during border control questioning.

According to the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, the decision to prevent his entry stemmed from activity that “goes beyond legitimate freedom of expression" and includes “inciting statements against Jews and the dissemination of content with antisemitic characteristics."

Chikli stated, “The celebration is over. Anyone who comes here with the goal of spreading hatred will be sent back the way they came. As part of the implementation of the new policy I outlined, entry or activity in Israel will not be permitted for anyone who spreads antisemitic content, supports BDS, or incites against the State of Israel and the Jewish people. The rule is simple: whoever incites against us simply will not be here."

The ministry stated that Director General Avi Cohen-Scali recommended to the Population and Immigration Authority that Oliveira be denied entry after advance information indicated he was expected to arrive in Israel. Upon his arrival, his entry was refused, and he is expected to be returned to his country.

The recommendation was made in accordance with Amendment No. 40 to the Entry into Israel Law of 1952 and following agreements between government ministries regarding the transfer of recommendations and information from the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism concerning the denial of entry visas.

According to the ministry, Oliveira’s YouTube channel focuses on “field" videos featuring street interviews, social investigations, and documentary-style content. The ministry said his activity in recent years drew criticism following videos about Orthodox Jewish communities in the United States.

Cohen-Scali stated, “We will not allow factors seeking to defame our country to operate freely. Thanks to the fruitful cooperation between government bodies, we are succeeding in preventing hostile elements from being present within our territory."

Among statements cited by the ministry were remarks made during an interview with Tucker Carlson on May 8, 2026, in which Oliveira allegedly claimed that “Jews systematically exploit the generosity of others" and “use intergenerational guilt surrounding the Holocaust for their own needs." The ministry also said Oliveira claimed that Jews portray all criticism or opposition toward them as antisemitism.

The ministry further referenced a February 24, 2026, video in which Oliveira said he aimed to “expose the invasion of the Jewish community" into New Jersey. According to the ministry, Oliveira described the area as undergoing a “Jewish takeover" and alleged that the Jewish community was “very racist" and operated similarly to “organized crime."

The ministry also stated that Oliveira accused the community of favoring Jews over non-Jews, claimed American taxpayers finance them, and alleged that community members “buy politicians so they pass laws that benefit them."

In addition, the ministry cited another video published on January 16, 2026, in which Kiryas Joel was described as “a New York town invaded by Jews addicted to welfare."

Rabbi Landau on the sacrifice of Dati-Leumi Soldiers! 'They are killed because their rabbis teach a distorted Torah'

There you have it folks, in case you are wondering why Moshiach is not here yet! 

This is a "gadol" speaking about other "gedoilim"

Is it any wonder that there is so much hate out there? 

The words of Moshe Rabbeinu " האחיכם יבוא למלחמה ואתם תשבו פה " is now "distorted Torah?" ,,,,,,,,,או לה לספינה שאבד קברניטה

 Charedi leader Rabbi Dov Lando sparked controversy in a conversation with students in which he addressed the issue of the war and the many soldiers following the Religious Zionist ideals.

According to a report on Channel I24, a student asked the rabbi about young men who see the national-religious public as "sacrificing their lives," in his words, and who study Torah alongside military service. According to him, some feel as a result that "we are not okay."

In response the rabbi asked, "What are they doing?", and the student replied that they "study a lot of Torah and, on the other hand, go and are killed in defense of the people and the land." The rabbi replied that, "They are killed because we do not study enough."

Rabbi Lando further added that, "It is possible to save even more," and sharply criticized the spiritual leadership of the Religious Zionist community, "They are killed because their rabbis teach a distorted Torah."
