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.
Israel decides: More than 7.3 million Israelis make their way to cast their vote Despite the Satmar Mishagaim
Thousands of Torah Jews from around the world united and gathered to voice their belief against Zionism, against the State of Israel and against taking a part in the elections
Ever wonder why Moshiach is not coming anytime soon?
This farkumteh SHIT'ah is destroying us from within!
They don't live in Israel, yet they are telling the Litvishe and Chassidighe Gedoilim in Israel that they are heretics ! They want us to respect Gedoilim yet they gather in the tens of thousands to openly mock and curse them!
Let them take their "chesed,"chicken soup and gefilta fish and give it to the Palestinians!
Elections for Israel's 26th Knesset kicked off Tuesday morning as polling stations opened nationwide. After four years, Israeli citizens will once again decide who will lead the country in the coming years. This morning, the election cycle reaches its moment of truth as millions of eligible voters can exercise their democratic right and influence the makeup of the next Knesset.
According to Central Election Committee data, 7,331,981 voters are eligible to participate in the election. 12,018 polling stations will be set up across the country, where voters can choose between 36 lists running to fill the 120 seats in Israel's legislature.
Polls open at 7:00 a.m. Most will remain open until 10:00 p.m., while in small communities and at polling stations in hospitals, prisons, and nursing homes, voting will end earlier, at 8:00 p.m.
When the polls close at 10:00 p.m., news networks will publish their exit polls, which will provide an initial picture of the distribution of seats and the balance of power between the political blocs.
However, even after the exit polls are published, the true results will remain unclear. In case of a close race, double-envelope votes cast by eligible citizens and security forces who cannot reach their assigned polling stations may be crucial in determining the seat distribution and clarifying the options for forming the next government.
To make it easier for citizens to reach polling stations, intercity public transportation will be free today on bus routes exceeding 15 kilometers. Israel Railways services will also be free for the general public until public transportation operations conclude.
Alongside the political developments, the weather is expected to make it difficult for some voters to reach their polling stations. Local rainfall and thunderstorms are forecast in many parts of the country throughout the day, accompanied by gusty winds and possible hail.
In southern Israel, there is a risk of significant flash flooding in the streams of the southern and central Negev, the Arava, the Judean Desert, and the Dead Sea region. Members of the public planning to take advantage of the Election Day holiday for outings are urged to take weather conditions and the dangers in flood-prone areas into account.
At 10:00 p.m., when the final polling stations close and the election exit polls are released, the political picture will begin to emerge. Until then, the decision rests with the millions of Israelis who will head to the polls today and determine the composition of the next Knesset.
Mishpacha Editor to Yoeli Landau: Leave Israel’s Elections to Its Own Rabbanim
This is how this Landau guy makes money:
His first project was buying an old home that was not allowed to be made into a nursing home. He bought it a half price due to the restriction. He then farnegiled and bought off people and did it anyway. Almost sat in jail for that but there was some technicality he got off.
Later and just recently he (and some other yidden) bought into the biggest Nursing home conglomerate that was extremely financially stable. Once they got the voting power they milked it for what it was is was worth, buying up real estate with theit hefty money and good credit. One day it is in bankruptcy and then tried buying it back for pennies on the dollar, except for the good graces of the Judge that blocked them from buying it!
Just look closely at the news. A nice way to make money – Boruch Ha’Shem
The reports allege that Landau intends to arrive Tuesday and set up an office in Jerusalem’s Har Hotzvim neighborhood, where he would collect the identity cards and passports of yeshiva students who pledge not to vote in the elections. According to the circulating claims, participants would receive $500 at the end of the day.
The allegations have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether the reported arrangement exists or whether Landau plans to travel to Israel.
Responding to the reports, the Mishpacha editor addressed Landau in a sarcastic Hebrew message, urging him to remain in the United States and leave Israel’s electoral affairs to its own religious community.
“The United States is vast enough to accommodate all your good deeds and provide you with plenty of attention, recognition and respect,” the editor wrote.
“Please bid us farewell, stay there, and leave election day here to the faithful of Israel. Everyone will follow the guidance of their respective rabbinic leaders. On this matter, we’re doing just fine without your help.”
The remarks reflect tensions surrounding the role of American Jewish philanthropists in Israel’s political affairs and the influence of outside figures on the voting decisions of the country’s religious community.

Charedie Insanity Continues" Moetzes states in a Kol Kora that "anyone who doesn't vote for " Degel" is going Against the Torah" Rav Shternbuch Says that anyone voting in the election is causing a huge Chillul Hashem "
The Kol Korah read:
"Voters must vote exclusively for United Torah Judaism and that anyone who does not vote for Gimmel indirectly becomes a partner in a chillul Hashem and bears a very serious sin."
The Gerer Rebbe opposed it, because this letter implies that anyone voting for Shas is a Rasha and causing a Chillul Hashem!
However, after getting a visit from the Viznitzer Rebbe, the Gerer Rebbe approved the Kol Kora and it is now out and official!
Voting for any other party even for example Shas, is against the Torah and is a Chillul Hashem!
Which brings me to Harav Shernbuch, on October 22,2026, just last week, Rav Shternbuch announced that anyone voting for anyone is ":oiver an issur deo'riisah, and is causing a huge Chillul Hashem."
Rav Shternbuch כדרכו בקודש went a step further and wrote that anyone encouraging (Rav Landau, Rav Hirsch, Gerer Rebbe, Belzer Rebbe, and Viznitzer Rebbe) people to vote are a bunch of "Apikorsim and Meenim"
My question is:
What is a guy, a shomer Torah Umitzvois, a makir talmeidei Chachamim, supposed to do?
Well, you will probably say "why don't you ask your own rav?"
But therein is the problem, because my Rav that is encouraging people to go out and vote is according to Rav Shternbuch, an apikoras! Why would I listen to an apikoras?
My neighbor's Rav told his shul that to vote in the elections is equivalent to eating Chazir on Yom Kippur or Chumetz on Pesach, and causing a huge Chillul Hashem, and that according to my neighbor's Rav, my Rav is an apikoras!
What is a frum Jew to do??
The answer of course is, that this dispute amongst the "Gedoilim" is actually just a spark of a much larger issue, and this is actually why thousands of Tanaim, disciples of Rabi Akiva died!
"מפני שלא נהגו כבוד זה לזה
The issue was not that they disagreed, but it was how they disagreed!
In fact in an earlier post: I quoted the following Poiskim that one should disagree if they feel that they are right, even if he is opposing a Gadol!
. As the Minchat Chinuch (Mitzvah 77) writes:
“If the great scholar states his opinion, and the lesser scholar has his own opinion and does not find the words of the great scholar convincing, he is certainly obligated to express his opinion and disagree with him. Otherwise, this constitutes a perversion of justice.”
(As is likewise explained in the writings of the Ran, Sanhedrin 46a, and Responsa of the Radbaz, Part I, Siman 308.)
It does not say, “He is permitted to disagree,” but rather, “He is obligated to express his opinion and disagree.” Moreover, one may not fear the intimidation of a rabbinic authority, in accordance with the Torah’s commandment: “You shall not be intimidated by any person.”
(As explained in Sanhedrin 6b, which also resolves the question raised by the Bach on Choshen Mishpat, end of Siman 9.)
The Torah demands that every individual bear full responsibility to use his intellect and judgment.
However where is the HETER for Rav Shernbuch, Rav Landau, Rav Hirsch, The Gerer, Belzer, Viznitzer Rebbes to state unequivocally that if you listen to the other Gedoilim than you are "Oiver an issur De'oriisah" "You are causing a huge Chillul Hahsem" and call other Gedoilim "Meenim & Apikorsim?"
I have gotten many comments over the years that I am disrespectful of other people with opposing viewpoints,
to them I say jokingly:
"People like me learn from the best, I learned from the Gedoiei Hador how to disagree with others .... to disparage, mock and ridicule others that disagree with me"
But seriously speaking, the question that everyone must ask themselves, does your opinions come from אהבת ישראל?
I have to say that before I write, post or comment, I do think very hard "where is this coming from?" is it coming from a place to try to change the status quo for the better, because deep down I love my fellow Jew? or Is it coming from a place of hate?
Those of you that know me personally, know that I have not an ounce of hate in my entire being, that I care for others, and this blog is to open the eyes of other Charedim that are frustrated with what our children are being taught in schools, and how their Roshei Yeshivas are pashut brainwashing them, and for them to know that they are not alone, that there are tens of thousands of the silent majority that think just like them, and to give them comfort as the saying goes, "misery loves company"
I am trying very hard to touch someone's life in a positive way, to make change for the better, even one person at a time, but to do that, one must confront the issues head on, and not sweep them under the rug!
I have very close friends, that totally disagree with my "hashkafa" and they tell it to me straight, but I love them nevertheless בכל לבבי ובכל נפשי, and would drop everything and run to help them in any way I can.
I am not trying to pat myself on the back, what I am trying to convey is that though my rhetoric sounds rough around the edges, I am saying it from deep love for every single Jew! Especially those who have yet to embrace Torah Umitzvois! Those who have yet to see the beauty of Yiddishkeit,
Throwing stones, stopping traffic, telling others that they are causing a Chillul Hashem if they listen to another Gadol, or disparaging another "gadol", will never bring another Jew back to the fold, and is definitly not coming from אהבת ישראל it is coming from pure שנאה.
My blog is trying to reach those Jews who are Frum but look down on others who are not like them...and addressing those that love every Jew but don't have the answers to respond properly, my blog gives them the proper tools and vehicle.
דע מה שתשוב
The message of "מפני שלא נהגו כבוד זה לזה should resonate with all of us!
There you have it!
Go out and vote!
