Marc Kasowitz Lawyer for Columbia University’s Jewish students netted $6.4M payday while preying on own client

 A high-profile lawyer who became one of the nation’s most prominent advocates for Jewish college students after Oct. 7 netted a whopping $6.4 million payday from a settlement with Columbia University — by preying on his own clients, a shocking new lawsuit claims.

Marc Kasowitz’s firm had represented 43 Jewish and Israeli students who alleged Columbia failed to protect them during the violent anti-Israel protests and encampments that engulfed the Ivy League campus in Manhattan after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks on Israel.

The plaintiffs said that at first, they were thrilled to be repped by Kasowitz, a veteran Manhattan litigator who was the legal face of a national campaign against campus antisemitism.

Attorney Marc Kasowitz’s law firm preyed on the Columbia University students it represented in the aftermath of antisemitic protests on campus, according to a lawsuit.

Two-month-old infant dies in Beit Shemesh

 A two-month-old baby girl was found unconscious this afternoon (Monday) in a residential building in Beit Shemesh.

Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and EMTs provided her with medical treatment and evacuated her in critical condition to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, where doctors pronounced her dead.

According to testimonies, the baby’s older sister slept with her in the same bed and apparently unintentionally pressed on her. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation.

The police said that officers from the Beit Shemesh station who arrived at the scene opened an investigation and began collecting evidence to clarify the circumstances of the death.

MDA said that upon arrival at the scene, the infant was brought to the teams unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing. The teams began advanced resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions and ventilation.

MDA emergency medic Rafael Tolidano said: “When we arrived at the building, they brought us the baby who was unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing."

He added: “We began advanced resuscitation procedures, including compressions and ventilation, and evacuated her in an intensive care ambulance to the hospital, with her condition defined as critical."

Education Ministry mandates tefillin access in state schools

 

The Education Ministry on Monday published, for the first time, an official director-general's circular establishing a nationwide policy on the laying of tefillin (phylacteries) in state schools.

The directive, formulated following a comprehensive professional review, is intended to replace the varying interpretations adopted by individual school principals, which in recent years have led to disputes and misunderstandings with students and parents.

Under the new guidelines, principals of state schools will be required to allow students who wish to do so to lay tefillin on school grounds.

To this end, each school is required to establish a clear internal policy to be incorporated into its official regulations. The policy must designate a respectful location for the practice and set specific times for it. The circular emphasizes that tefillin may only be laid during school breaks and not at the expense of class hours.

The directive also makes clear that the logistical responsibility for bringing the tefillin, as well as for attending classes and arriving on time, rests solely with the students. The Education Ministry recommends that principals implement the new policy parallel to holding early dialogue with teaching staff, parents' committees, and student councils to prevent conflicts and preserve the school's educational environment.

"Laying tefillin in the Jewish state should not be a matter of controversy or local interpretation," Education Minister Yoav Kisch said following the publication of the guidelines.

"The lack of clear regulations over the years created friction and uncertainty that harmed students, parents, and school administrations. This policy directive brings order: it provides principals with clear rules and ensures that every student who wishes to do so may pray and lay tefillin in a respectful, organized, and natural manner."

 To those who thought we provided backing for violence. It must be emphasized that the ongoing conflict in the Sadigura Hasidic community has long exceeded the boundaries of an internal dispute. 

Over the years, the Haredi society has known struggles over leadership and inheritance in various courts, but the recent documentation of confrontations, violence, and a tense atmosphere should trouble anyone for whom the future of the Hasidic world is precious. 

One can argue, debate in a rabbinical court, and even pursue legal proceedings, but it is forbidden for such a struggle to lead to threats, intimidation, or physical confrontations. The moment violence becomes a tool in the dispute, everyone loses, regardless of the question of who is right. 

The responsibility lies first and foremost on the leaders and influential figures from both sides (the Admorim) to set a clear boundary and calm the spirits. If it is not stopped now, the damage will not be only to the Sadigura Hasidut.

Bereaved Father Says Leading Gedolim Agreed With Him Privately but Feared Speaking Out on Draft Debate

 

Rav Tamir Granot, whose son was killed while serving in the IDF, says he spent months quietly meeting with leading gedolim after his loss, hoping to bridge the divide between the chareidi and religious Zionist communities over military service. In a wide-ranging interview, he claimed that while some senior rabbinic leaders privately agreed with aspects of his message, they were unwilling to express those views publicly.

The interview opened with interviewer Moshe Mansa recounting a conversation with a chareidi educator who described Rav Granot as one of the most influential—and, in his view, dangerous—figures in the current debate.

“The voice is the voice of Yaakov, but the hands are the hands of Esav. He looks like one of us. He speaks our language of Torah learning. We can’t simply dismiss him because he sacrificed the most precious thing in the world—his son. Instead of going through the rabbanim, he’s trying to reach our yeshiva bochurim directly and persuade them to enlist.”

Rav Granot said he understands why some perceive him as a threat but believes those fears stem from deep anxiety.

Chareidim Do Millions of Shekels Damage to the Yerushalayim Light Rail

There is no question that this guy is "Pasul Le'Edis" and should he be a witness at a wedding there may be issues with that Chuppa! 

When Three Gerer Chassidim Murdered Ben Gurian's Brother in Cold Blood ... Because he Dared Criticize the Imrei- Emes's Anti-Zionist Position!

 

Note: The Imrei Emes's anti Zionist position was only pre-WW2 and during the Holocaust when he hadn't found out yet how enormous the tragedy actually was. The Imrei Emes totally turned after the holocaust and after the State was actually established!

In 1943, Gur Hasidim beat Ben-Gurion’s brother — Moshe Nachmani — to death.

This is one of the most serious incidents in the history of relations between the Haredim and the Zionists in the State of Israel. Three Gur Hasidim severely beat Ben-Gurion’s brother, Rabbi Avraham Green. Shortly afterward, he died from his injuries.

Within a short time, the affair was swept under the rug and completely forgotten. Ben-Gurion did not make an issue of it, nor did the religious Zionists, and of course not the Gur Hasidim.

It is a painful story that teaches us how far violence can go, and how a heated argument can deteriorate into bloodshed. Above all, it teaches us that anyone who dares to criticize a revered Rebbe, admired by thousands of Hasidim, may end up in the grave.

Far-Leftist Organizations collude to keep Ben-Gvir an elected Israeli Official out of the USA

Looking at the poster and reading the sponsors, I am more and more convinced that Ben-Gvir is good for Israel!

I am not saying he is perfect; there isn't any politician that is perfect, but every single signer of that poster has been funded by Soros! 

If they are so afraid of Ben-Gvir that means that Ben-Gvir is a threat to the far leftist's agenda! 

** I just read that Ben-Gvir cancelled the visit to the USA! 

What a Shame!

NYC: Tell Ben-Gvir he's not welcome here!

Itamar Ben Gvir is attending an event at the United Nations on Tuesday, July 7, and T'ruah will be there to protest. We want to make clear that American Jews reject his racism, bigotry, and extremist violence. Will you join us?

On Tuesday at noon, we'll gather at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (enter at 2nd Avenue and 47th Street), along with many American and Israeli partners: NYJA, Partners for Progressive Israel, J Street, Smol Emuni U.S., Israelis for Peace NYC, URJ, Arza, New Jewish Narrative, and New Israel Fund.

For years, T’ruah has sounded the alarm: Ben Gvir’s brand of hatred and extremism is beyond the pale. He and his party traffic in racism and homophobia, advocate for the deportation of Palestinian citizens of Israel, and incite violence against Palestinians and Israeli leftists. He is a criminal with 13 convictions, including for hate crimes and promoting terrorism. He openly promotes ethnic cleansing in Gaza and advocates for Israeli resettlement. Ben Gvir is a danger to Palestinians and Israelis.

American Jews should treat Ben Gvir with the contempt he deserves. If you're in NYC, we hope to see you there on Tuesday, July 7, at noon. 

Trump says Netanyahu ‘knows who the boss is’ ahead of planned White House meeting

 

President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “knows who the boss is” ahead of their planned tete-a-tete in Washington, DC.

Trump told Axios Saturday that Netanyahu could visit as early as next week and said that the relationship between the two leaders is still strong.

“We get along very good,” the president noted.

U.S. President Trump points at Israeli PM Netanyahu as they shake hands.

Trump said Netanyahu “knows who the boss is.”

The pow wow could happen after Trump returns from the NATO summit in Turkey, which takes place July 7-8. Israeli officials, however, believe the two leaders won’t sit down face to face until the following week.

The pair spoke on the phone Friday and agreed to meet in “the near future,” according to a statement from the Israeli prime minister’s office.

“The Prime Minister said in the conversation that the US is a guarantor of global freedom, and Israel highly appreciates the close bond between the two nations,” the statement added.

Iranian security bars ‘probably gay’ disfigured supreme leader from his father’s funeral — fearing Israel would strike again

Trump says Iran gets ‘week off’ for lengthy funeral for former supreme leader: ‘Isn’t that nice?’

This will be Netanyahu’s first meeting with Trump since he pressed for war with Iran in a Situation Room meeting in February.

Though Trump maintains that he and Netanyahu have “a very good relationship,” tensions have risen between the two in recent months over the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran and Israel’s conduct in its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Trump called Netanyahu “f–king crazy” over his attacks in Lebanon on June 1.

”You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” Trump confirmed to The Post he grilled the Israeli PM over airstrikes in Beirut.

Israel and Lebanon signed a tripartite agreement with the US on June 26 which called for a phased Israeli withdrawal for Southern Lebanon with the Lebanese Armed Forces assuming control of areas currently occupied by the Israel Defense Forces, as well as a demilitarization of Hezbollah.

Vice President JD Vance also slammed members of Netanyahu’s coalition for criticizing the emerging Iran deal in a June 18 press conference.

“Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower,” he said.

“The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”
