Al Jazeera Reports that the Secret Note that the Satmar Rebbe Gave Trump was to "FORCE ISRAEL TO STOP THE WAR ON GAZA"
What was in those letters?? Why the secrecy?
I sure hope Al Jazeera is lying, but I have a very uneasy feeling about what those letters contained!
Both The R'Aaron and R' Malkiel are known to be very sneaky!
Rabbi Aaron gave Trump a written note containing issues that had been discussed privately. Trump placed the note in a drawer at his desk.
Rabbi Malkiel Kotler was invited to address the president but instead handed Trump a private letter outlining several matters.
Vance asked why the different colors of the Rebbes’ bekitches! Yossi Gestetner answered that it depended on "bank ccounts"
The meeting began in the Roosevelt Room, where White House Jewish liaison Martin Marks, who had worked for months to arrange the gathering, opened the session. White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf also addressed the group.
Vance joined the meeting midway in the Roosevelt Room and personally greeted the rabbis and other dignitaries around the table.
He praised the Jewish community’s strong emphasis on family and education, saying both issues are close to him. He also asked about the different colors of the Rebbes’ bekitches.
Yossi Gestetner joked that the color depends on their bank account balance, drawing laughter from the room. Gestetner later confirmed to VIN News that he did, in fact, make the remark as a joke.
At the beginning of the gathering, the two Satmar Rebbes, Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum of Williamsburg and Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum of Kiryas Joel, warmly greeted one another and exchanged brachos.
Rabbi Aaron also wished his brother a mazel tov on the engagement of a grandchild, which had been finalized the previous night.
Rabbi Malkiel Kotler was invited to address the president but instead handed Trump a private letter outlining several matters.
Rabbi Aaron also gave Trump a written note containing issues that had been discussed privately. Trump placed the note in a drawer at his desk.
The meeting concluded after nearly half an hour in the Oval Office, with the rabbis and Trump exchanging thanks before the delegation departed.
Eichler’s Lying Owner Tries to Clarify MamZarani Visit After Massive Backlash
 |
| Traube |
First some comments from readers:
How can the Mamzerani’s goons throw someone out from a private property without consent of the property owner???!!! It is OBVIOUS that the BP Eichlers ownership/management was on the Mamzerani side. Therefore, we should BOYCOTT the BP Eichlers — for allowing Mamzerani in and this peaceful protester out — until the responsible party is fired or disowned.
You can’t wiggle your way out of this with your used-car salesman video, you little judenrat moiser.
All I know is that it looks like people are very angry and even people out of nyc in Long Island are very angry. To kick out the Jewish woman and allow a serious jew hater is a chillul H. Who is this self appointed council. The Judenrat were also a council back in the holocaust.
The video online shows Traube asking Mrs. Benshimon to leave. Traube should have politely told the Mamdani propagandists that his store is not a political PR stage.. He did not.
The Flatbush Eichler owned store is a well stocked customer friendly Judaica store.
The owner of the Borough Park Judaica store visited by Mayor Zohran Mamdani ahead of Rosh Hashanah issued a video clarification Thursday night following backlash over the mayor’s appearance and the events surrounding the visit.
Hirsch Meir Traube, owner of 1800 Eichler’s on 13th Avenue, said the store did not invite Mamdani and that its employees were not involved in handing out gifts during the visit.
“We did not invite Mayor Mamdani,” Traube said. “None of our staff were involved in any of the gift giving. It was all from independent influencers.”
Traube also addressed reports that people were removed from the store during the mayor’s visit.
“We weren’t involved in kicking anyone out of the store,” he said.
The clarification came after video of Mamdani’s Wednesday visit circulated widely online. The mayor was seen meeting Jewish community leaders and learning about Rosh Hashanah, which begins next Friday.
Among those present were Avi Greenstein, CEO of the Borough Park Jewish Community Council; Rabbi Yaakov Landau; and Traube himself. Mamdani was also greeted by members of the community.
The mayor’s director of special projects, Uri Fraenkel, blew the shofar during the visit, while Mamdani was presented with honey, a traditional Rosh Hashanah symbol representing the hope for a sweet New Year.
Mamdani wished those present a “Shana Tovah,” the traditional Jewish greeting for the holiday.
The visit, however, was interrupted when a woman identifying herself as Jewish advocate Stephanie Benshimol confronted the mayor.
“Stop the antisemitism! You have all the power to stop the antisemitism. I’m begging you to do it,” Benshimol shouted.
She also accused Mamdani of focusing too heavily on Israel and said his positions were contributing to hostility toward Jews.
Menachem Gindi, an Eichler’s employee who was present during the visit, told CBS New York that the confrontation was uncomfortable but said he believed Benshimol had a point.
The mayor’s visit comes as New York City officials continue to grapple with rising antisemitism. The NYPD has said anti-Jewish hate crimes increased 8% year to date compared with the previous year and account for more than half of the city’s reported hate crimes.
Mamdani has faced criticism from Jewish organizations over his statements regarding Israel, including his description of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war criminal” in a video released in July.
Mamdani has said that while he criticizes the policies of a nation-state, those criticisms should not be directed at Jewish people or Judaism.
“When we make criticisms of a nation-state or policies, we have to remember that those are criticisms of exactly that — never of a people, never of a faith,” Mamdani told CBS New York following an earlier discussion about antisemitism.
The Borough Park visit was part of the mayor’s outreach to Jewish leaders ahead of the High Holidays. Mamdani also held a private meeting with rabbis in August to discuss antisemitism and the increase in antisemitic incidents.
His administration said it is committed to ensuring Jewish New Yorkers can “live openly, proudly and safely,” and has pledged increased investments in hate-crime prevention as well as an expanded mayor’s office focused on combating antisemitism.
The NYPD is also preparing for the High Holidays, with a citywide security briefing for Jewish community leaders scheduled for next week. Brooklyn South police leaders met with Jewish leaders Monday to discuss security preparations.
Traube ended his Thursday night clarification by reaffirming the store’s position.
“We do support Israel,” he said. “Am Yisroel Chai.”
It should also be noted that there are two separate Eichler’s Judaica stores in Brooklyn, which are frequently confused.
The store featured in the Mamdani video is 1800 Eichler’s, also known as 1-800 Eichler’s and formerly The New Eichler’s, at 5004 13th Avenue in Borough Park. The store is independently owned by Traube, who acquired it around 2024.
The other business is Eichler’s of Flatbush, at 1401 Coney Island Avenue. It remains under Eichler family ownership and has operated since 1977.
The two stores are separate businesses and should not be conflated in connection with Mamdani’s visit.

Israel Wants Rabbi Yechiel Farkash Extradited for Repeated Sexual Abuse of Many Children!
Update on Rabbi Yechiel Farkash Extradition to Israel for Alleged Repeated Sexual Abuse of Multiple Children
Rabbi Yechiel Farkash is a former high school rebbi and menahel in Bnei Brak currently incarcerated in New Jersey and facing extradition in Israel for his alleged repeated sexual abuse of two students.
Prior to his detention Farkash was living in Lakewood. See ZA'AKAH's original post about the case for more information.
Following a protracted battle over his continued detention, which ultimately ended with the judge denying him bail, the prosecution was ordered to file its full extradition brief. The brief was filed in early August and contained a full account of the Israeli government's investigation of Farkash's alleged abuse and their warrant for his arrest. The brief contains more details about Farkash and his alleged crimes.
Nauseating! Chassidim Kiss Up to Mamzarani in Eichler's Seforim Store in Boro Park, ONE Lady Stands up to that modern day Eichmann
Jewish Woman Confronts NYC Mayor Mamdani During Brooklyn Visit*
From a reader👇
How can the Mamzerani’s goons throw someone out from a private property without consent of the property owner? It is obvious that the BP Eichlers ownership/management was on the Mamzerani side. Therefore, we should publicize the BP Eichlers owner or the manager responsible for allowing Mamzerani in and this peaceful protester out.
Meanwhile, don’t give any business to BP Eichlers, until the responsible party is fired or disowned.
In fact, all the shtreimel-wearing so-called “chusidim” are now under suspicion of being treasonous judenrat. Don’t give them business or tzeduka unless you know for sure that this particular chusid is not a judenrat moiser.
I love chasidim and it hurts, but at this unfortunate time, all the shtreimel-wearing crowd should be assumed as judenrat moisrim unless known otherwise.
A woman was removed from Eichler’s in Borough Park on Wednesday after attempting to confront New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his visit to the Brooklyn neighborhood ahead of the High Holidays
The woman was identified as Stephanie Benshimol, a Jewish activist and social media influencer who has publicly criticized Mamdani and his positions on Israel and Jewish issues.
Benshimol was also seen confronting Phylisa Wisdom, executive director of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism, on the street as Wisdom accompanied Mamdani during his visit. The city identifies Wisdom as the head of the mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism.
At Eichler’s, Benshimol attempted to approach Mamdani, prompting security to remove her from the store. Mamdani was quickly ushered out of the store by security as the confrontation unfolded.
Mamdani was visiting Eichler’s and other Brooklyn businesses ahead of the High Holidays, with Rosh Hashanah beginning next week.

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.
