Rav Hirsch in English.. If Gimel Doesn't Win Big, then Hashem will say "They Don't Want Me" ....
Shoff like his ancestors "the meraglim" believes that God wants Jews in the USA!
When a Chassidishe guy asks him if Jew Jews should make Aliyah, he says "we have to listen to those gedoilim that we rely on all other mitzvois and see what they say" well this is mamash words right out of the mouths of the meraglim, who piously believed that to be a Teirah Jew, one has to remain in Chutz Le'aaretz!
Well let's see what the Rabbis from Chutz Le'arretz said about that ... Kesubois 110:
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: לְעוֹלָם יָדוּר אָדָם בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲפִילּוּ בְּעִיר שֶׁרוּבָּהּ גּוֹיִם, וְאַל יָדוּר בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ וַאֲפִילּוּ בְּעִיר שֶׁרוּבָּהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל, שֶׁכׇּל הַדָּר בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל דּוֹמֶה כְּמִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ אֱלוֹהַּ, וְכׇל הַדָּר בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ דּוֹמֶה כְּמִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אֱלוֹהַּ. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״לָתֵת לָכֶם אֶת אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַןלִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים״. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵינוֹ דָּר בָּאָרֶץ אֵין לוֹ אֱלוֹהַּ? אֶלָּא לוֹמַר לָךְ: כׇּל הַדָּר בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ כְּאִילּוּ עוֹבֵד עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה.אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר: כׇּל הַדָּר בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁרוּי בְּלֹא עָוֹן,אָמַר רַבִּי אֲבָהוּ: אֲפִילּוּ שִׁפְחָה כְּנַעֲנִית שֶׁבְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל מוּבְטָח לָהּ שֶׁהִיא בַּת הָעוֹלָם הַבָּאאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: כׇּל הַמְהַלֵּךְ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל מוּבְטָח לוֹ שֶׁהוּא בֶּן הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא
Channel 13 exposé ...Charedie Organization "Shmura" a Charedie Woman Advocacy Group took millions from Govt but in private are Against the State!
Channel 13 exposé:
The organization Shmura, which presents itself as advocating for Haredi women, receives hundreds of thousands of shekels each year from Minister Orit Strock’s Ministry of Settlement and National Missions.
Yet recordings of the group's leaders reveal them expressing extreme views against the State of Israel, its laws, and its institutions, including the statement:
“Ben-Gurion? He's no different from Saddam Hussein and Stalin.”
Satmar's Girlfriend Kathey Hochul ranked worst governor in US
Gov. Kathy Hochul was ranked the worst state leader in the US for protecting constituents’ freedoms, a scathing new study found.
Hochul ranked No. 50 in the Cato Institute’s 2026 “Freedom in the 50 States” list, scoring an “F” and falling behind the governors from Hawaii, California, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The annual study weighed the freedom of various state economic and personal policies — such as fiscal, housing, occupational, education, firearms, speech and medical — and graded each state a percentage out of 100 for how its local laws promoted freedoms for each.
This year’s study was the first to grade individual governors, and graded how their actions in office furthered or hampered their state’s freedoms.
Hochul scored a dismal 18.02% for how her policies promoted New Yorkers’ freedoms.
New York state, meanwhile, ranked 49th in the nation for overall freedoms with a 31.9% score — coming in just ahead of Hawaii at 29.24%.
Although the top and bottom of the gubernatorial freedom rankings largely skewed by party line, the results weren’t so red and blue.
Rav Landau Curses the Charedie Sephardic 'Color Black' party "They will burn in hell"
Rabbi Yissachar Natan, head of the Torat Yissachar Kollel, visited the home of Lithuanian-haredi leader Rabbi Dov Lando, Kikar Hashabbat reported.
Rabbi Natan had been slated to represent the Sephardic haredi community on the "Color Black" party list, but withdrew his candidacy.
Rabbi Lando said of those who vote for the party: "I say that hell is waiting for them, hell for everything. They will burn in hell for all eternity."
Rabbi Natan told Rabbi Lando: "When I looked into everything surrounding them, I saw that their whole purpose is not to pass [the electoral threshold], but to take votes away from the haredi parties. They don't want to pass [the threshold]."
"I thought we were on commercial": Israeli Actress caught off guard during live broadcast
An unusual incident occurred Monday morning on Channel 13's morning program when actress Chelli Goldenberg expressed strong opinions about Judea and Samaria, settlers, and the situation in Israel, only to discover later that the entire conversation had been broadcast live.
The interview, conducted by Elad Zohar and Yarden Harel, was supposed to focus on Goldenberg's career and her work in the cultural sphere, but quickly developed into a heated political debate.
"We are occupiers. Yes. Everything that is happening now is the result of the occupation," Goldenberg declared during the conversation.
When Zohar asked her to explain which events she was referring to, she replied, "What isn't happening now? The increasing religious influence, the settlers, Jewish terrorism, the arrogance."
Zohar challenged her remarks, bringing up Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the October 7 attack.
In response, Goldenberg compared the situation to the struggle against South Africa's apartheid regime and also raised the actions of Jewish underground organizations during the British Mandate.
"A minority has the right to fight for its freedom," she said.
Zohar immediately objected to the statement, responding, "Not if it massacres civilians, our brothers and sisters, and our soldiers."
Later, Goldenberg sought to emphasize her connection to Israel and her volunteer work on behalf of residents of southern Israel.
According to Goldenberg, from December 2023 until approximately a year before the interview, she participated in a volunteer group that cleaned homes in communities near the Gaza Strip.
"I am a great patriot. I love this country. It's like watching your child become something that makes you say, 'This is not how I raised you,'" she explained.
Harel also expressed disagreement with Goldenberg's remarks.
"There are a lot of issues here. I'll say, to put it mildly, that I see things differently. Hearing 'a minority has the right to defend itself' - that's a difficult statement," she said.
Zohar joined the criticism, emphasizing that the remarks were particularly troubling in light of the events of October 7.
"The country is still wounded, bleeding, and grieving over what that minority that was fighting did here," he said, adding that it was too soon, if ever appropriate, to discuss the events in the manner Goldenberg had.
When the hosts attempted to steer the conversation back toward cinema and the actress's roles, the interview took an unexpected turn.
"Were we on the air?" Goldenberg suddenly asked.
After the hosts confirmed that the conversation had been broadcast, she reacted with shock.
"We were on the air during that conversation? That's not okay," she said. "You didn't tell me we were back on the air. I thought this was an offline conversation. I didn't know this conversation was being broadcast. I even told you that I didn't want to talk about everything I did in the Gaza border communities. I thought we were on a commercial break."
Goldenberg struggled to conceal her emotional distress and continued:
"I don't want to, I don't want to. I don't know what to do with this now. I'm really in shock. You didn't tell me we were on the air. I thought we were on a commercial break."
Later, toward the end of the interview, Goldenberg addressed viewers and apologized for the way she had expressed herself.
She explained that she had not realized the cameras were broadcasting during the conversation and that, as a result, she had spoken more harshly than she had intended.
"I'm a very impulsive person, with tremendous passion when I speak. I'm all fire and flames. I didn't know we were on the air," she said.
According to Goldenberg, "I expressed my opinions with greater passion and extremity, things that I don't think I would even say to my mother and father, because they would also be a little angry with me."
Goldenberg acknowledged that "the level of drama and the sharpness of the remarks were excessive," and asked the hosts to make sure they clearly inform her in the future when the cameras are operating.
"Next time, you need to put a flag [on the camera]... There, it's red. I didn't see that it was red when we were talking," she concluded.
חלי גולדנברג לא הבינה שהיא בשידור חי ומה שהיא באמת חושבת על תושבי עזה יצא החוצה: ״זכותו של מיעוט להילחם על החופש שלו״. לראות עד השניה האחרונה. https://t.co/Ou3Rn3jpWK

Supreme Court Allows Ponivitz Bnei-Teirah to beat the crap out of each other until August at least
The Israeli Supreme Court heard an appeal on Monday regarding the ongoing legal dispute between two factions in the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak. During the hearing, the court rejected the demand that the camp led by Rabbi Shmuel Markovitz leave the yeshiva.
Supreme Court Justice Ofer Grosskopf rejected the demand by the Kahaneman family's representatives to order the opposing camp's immediate departure, stating that it is not possible to evict an educational and Torah institution of such scope in the middle of the school year.
Accordingly, the court ruled that the earliest possible eviction date would be postponed until the end of the current academic year, on the 10th of Av, 5787 (August 13, 2027).
During the hearing, the judge also addressed the NIS 10 million fine imposed on the faction led by Rabbi Markovitz as part of arbitration proceedings conducted before Judge David Cheshin.
Grosskopf expressed reservations about the size of the fine, noting that imposing such a sum on a public institution raises substantial concerns. He said it would be difficult to approve a fine that could effectively lead to the institution's financial collapse.
Meanwhile, the request to expand the appeal challenging the eviction order itself was referred for a separate hearing before Supreme Court Justice David Mintz.
The hearing is the latest in a long series of legal proceedings that have been ongoing for years between the rival factions at Ponevezh Yeshiva, concerning control of the yeshiva's institutions, the use of its properties, and the management of the campus.
A year ago, retired judge David Cheshin, acting as an arbitrator between the factions, ruled that the yeshiva would remain under the exclusive management of Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman, whose faction is known as "The Haters," and that the faction of Rabbi Shmuel Markowitz, known as 'The Terrorists,' would vacate the yeshiva’s main buildings.
The ruling stated that the Markowitz faction has no property or institutional rights in the yeshiva, and that its longstanding physical presence in the buildings does not grant it any legal standing.
The arbitrator ordered the evacuation of the yeshiva’s main hall, the platform, the Ark, the dormitories, the public areas, the kitchen, and the library within a defined timeframe. He also stipulated that both sides must avoid provocations or confrontations during implementation.
The decision further states that the Markowitz faction has the right to establish a new, independent yeshiva-but only outside the historic Ponevezh campus and entirely separate from its name and brand. Any attempt to use the name “Ponevezh" or claim continuity was explicitly prohibited.
Cheshin also appointed a supervisory mechanism to oversee implementation of the ruling and instructed both sides to maintain mutual respect, refrain from defamation, and avoid incitement in the media. The decision concludes with an expression of hope that the parties will fully comply with the ruling and internalize the weight of their public and educational responsibility.
