Eida Hachreidis Mafia Move in on 'Tara' dairy products supervision

The Eida Hachreidis Kashrut, is a Mafia Organization that would make Joe Gotti look like a simple thief! This has nothing to do with kashrut and only to do with the almighty dollar......

Tara used the Badatz Agudat Yisrael for 60 YEARS.... with no problem....

The Eida were lurking around like peeping toms waiting to pounce .... and succeeding to convince Tare to switch kashrut supervisions....

They are now presently blackmailing Coke and Coke will have to do what Tara did.

Tara are a bunch of cowards and caved in like a cheap cardboard box ......

This is only one example of the fraud perpetrated by Chareidie kashrut organizations on the innocent Israelis. 

Badatz Agudat Yisrael, the kashrut (kosher) organization which grants "mehadrin" (stringent) kosher status to Tara dairy products, has announced its decision to remove its kashrut from the company's factories.

In an announcement published on Monday morning in haredi dailies, Agudat Yisrael said their decision was "a result of violations in the agreement and an unwillingness to listen to the guidelines of the kashrut supervisors."

In recent months, rumors have been circulating in the haredi community that Tara would soon be supervised by the Badatz Eidah Haharedit.

"Throughout the years, Agudat Yisrael has always kept to the the strictest kashrut standards," a representative told Kikar News. Recently, several bodies with vested interests are attempting to cause a change, and to grant the dairy different kashrut supervision."

"This caused several people to violate the agreement with Agudat Yisrael. Upon discovery of the issue, we held a meeting, and yesterday the Badatz decided to remove its kashrut supervision from the company."

Meanwhile, Tara emphasized that its products did not lose their "mehadrin" status for even a moment. 

In a statement, the company wrote, "The Tara dairy received mehadrin supervision, and the first products will be on the market in the coming days. We have the certification of kashrut supervision [and are willing to present it] if necessary."

"All the products currently on the market were produced before Agudat Yisrael's announcement and are strictly kosher. No one is arguing this important point, despite the fact that Agudat Yisrael did not state it explicitly. Products which will be on the shelves in a few days will bear the new kashrut supervision.

"After the fast of the Ninth of Av, we will publicize an announcement of our switch to the Eidah Haharedit."

Senator Gillibrand Stabs Jews In The Back ..Ezra Friedlander Silent

Ezra Friedlander with Jewish Tuchis Lekkers fawning over the anti-semite Gillibrand

A senator representing the largest Jewish population in America will shortly reveal if she is backing legislation that is meant to empower anti Israel forces.

New York senator Gillibrand says she will be giving an anti-BDS bill another look given fears that it might undermine free speech.

New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand made the comment at a town hall meeting int he Bronx this past Saturday. Gillibrand went on a tirade slamming Israel saying, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does “not have a plan for peace.”

“I am concerned that Prime Minister Netanyahu does not have a plan for peace, and doesn’t have a vision for peace,” Gillibrand said Saturday at town hall meeting in the Bronx.

Gillibrand described a meeting she had last year when she led a delegation of senators to Israel.

“In our meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, the question we asked is, what is your vision for peace, and he didn’t have one,” she said.

Gillibrand continued, “He just said my only hope is that I protect my people from rockets”.  “If you don’t have a vision, if you don’t have a plan, then it is never going to happen. And so we do need to require more of our world leaders, and I think a call to action to Israel’s government to have a plan for peace is really incumbent on all of us.”

Gillibrand was responding to a questioner — anti zionist blogger named Mondoweiss, and identified as belonging to Jewish Voice for Peace — who challenged her support for a bill that targets the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. The American Civil Liberties Union has said the bill impinges on speech freedoms.

The bill extends existing bans on cooperating with boycotts sponsored by countries to those sponsored by international organizations. It also encompasses boycotts of settlement goods. Defenders of the bill say it is narrowly defined to target only businesses that proactively provide assistance to boycotts organized by international organizations.

“The way I read the bill is not the way you read the bill,” Gillibrand said to the questioner. “I saw the bill as an extension of foreign policy to not allow companies to side with foreign entities that were doing boycotts.”

Gillibrand said she was ready to meet with the ACLU to discuss the bill.

“I am open to looking at the bill again because I do not want to undermine people’s free speech rights on any level,” she said.

Gillibrand puts the onus of peace on the only democratic nation in the entire Middle East and was not even embarrassed to make such stupid statements just hours after 3 innocent Jews in israel were butchered in their own home by Palestinian terrorists.

Gillibrand is known for always running to Boro Park to raise funds for her campaign and other democrats. Many people have been asking if the heavily pro republican community in Brooklyn south would vote for her again.

It’s obvious Gillibrand was never a true friend of Israel and her latest statements prove it.

It’s interesting to note that Jewish lobbyist Ezra Friedlander brought Gillibrand and Congressman Jerry Nadler to Boro Park before the Iran deal took place.

Senator Gillibrand has recently praised Jew hater Linda Sarsour by calling her an “extraordinary woman.”

When will some Orthodox Jews start standing up for Jewish values and stop selling their grandmother for a few dollars?

Mahwah Parks Ban to keep Frum People Out Is Unconstitutional

 

A new Mahwah ordinance that bans outsiders from using township parks violates the U.S. Constitution in several ways and must not be enforced, Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal said Thursday.

The ordinance, which seeks to limit the use of Mahwah recreational facilities to New Jersey residents, also violates a state Attorney General’s directive that strictly prohibits racially-influenced policing, the prosecutor said.

It also “may expose [township police] to increased civil liability and to internal affairs complaints,” said Grewal, a former federal prosecutor.

"As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Bergen County, I direct you not to enforce the Ordinance," he wrote to Mahwah Police James Batelli Thursday morning.

Township officials said they hoped the measure -- which took effect Thursday -- would provide protection against what residents fear is an organized incursion from Rockland County of Hasidic families who've recently swarmed parks in Mahwah, Montvale, Ramsey and Upper Saddle River by the busload.

In fact, Grewal noted that Mahwah police have “received numerous calls asking for [the ordinance] to be enforced against individuals perceived by the callers to be out-of-state members of the Hasidic Jewish community using Mahwah parks.”

That, he said, directly violates a state Attorney General directive that reads, in part:

“A sworn officer or civilian employee of a police agency acting under the authority of the laws of the State of New Jersey shall not consider a person's race or ethnicity as a factor in drawing an inference or conclusion that the person may be involved in criminal activity, or as a factor in exercising police discretion as to how to stop or otherwise treat the person.”

Responding to such calls “could also give rise to violations of [New Jersey] criminal statutes enacted to prohibit such conduct by law enforcement officers,” the prosecutor said.

These would involve “deprivation of civil rights” through contact that would “intimidate or discriminate against an individual or group of individuals because of race, color, religion, etc.”

Grewal said the ordinance also “provides no neutral criteria for MPD officers to utilize when deciding to detain an individual to [determine] his/her residency status.”

“At best, the Ordinance invites MPD offcers to stop individuals for no reason at all, and, at worst, MPD officers may be called on to stop individuals for impermissible reasons,” the prosecutor said. “As a result, its enforcement would violate the Fourth Amendment's proscription against unlawful searches and seizures.”

It also could “give rise to claims that the Ordinance interferes with First Amendment guarantees and an individual's federal constitutional right to due process and equal protection under the law,” Grewal said.

The courts rejected a similar ordinance adopted by the borough of Haledon in the late 1990s, he noted.

Grewal copied his letter to Batelli to Mahwah Mayor William Laforet, members of the Mahwah Township Council and Township Attorney Brian M. Chewcaskie “so that they may consider my observations with respect to the Ordinance and the problems with its enforcement.”

A large turnout was expected at Thursday night's council meeting.

Rabbi Daniel Greer Busted For Sexual Molesting Teen

by Larry Noodles

Daniel Greer, the depraved child molester, was arrested today by the New Haven Police Department.  The cops were kind enough to allow the Greer "The Goat" to turn himself into the Police Department at 11:00 AM in the morning. Greer posted a $100K bond. Greer didn’t actually come up with $100K.  He probably paid a bail bondsman $10K, and the bondsman got an attachment on the Greer house.  Greer turned in his passport.

Greer hired criminal defense attorney Willie Dow to represent him in the criminal case.  Dow was on vacation, so David Grudberg escorted Greer out of the police station.  Willie Dow is well known in New Haven for representing Yalies who get themselves in trouble.  Greer is a Yale Law School graduate.  Dow is also a Yale graduate.  Dow represented a guy who killed a Yale graduate student and hid her body in the wall of a lab at the Yale medical campus, and then went about his life as if nothing happened. This sick man got 44 years and is still locked up in Cheshire.

The New Haven Police Department did not tip me off of the impending arrest of Greer.  It appears that only Paul Bass was privy to this information.  The same Paul Bass who dropped the ball thirty years ago when he first exposed the evil Goat and his compound.  Paul dropped the ball by not following up with Greer.  Paul could have saved the lives of many children.

After I took that video the cops showed up at my house and said Mrs Greer called the police complaining that I was trespassing on her property.  I tried to explain the boys in blue that I was not trespassing and that I had a blog, and I was Larry Noodles, and I was a famous reporter, etc…  The officers didn’t know anything about Larry Noodles, Greer or the children who were raped in the compound.  The cops left without throwing me in the paddy wagon.

Greer was charged with Sexual Assault and Risk of injury to a minor:

(a) A person is guilty of sexual assault in the second degree when such person engages in sexual intercourse with another person and: (1) Such other person is thirteen years of age or older but under sixteen years of age and the actor is more than three years older than such other person;

(b) Sexual assault in the second degree is a class C felony or, if the victim of the offense is under sixteen years of age, a class B felony, and any person found guilty under this section shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of which nine months of the sentence imposed may not be suspended or reduced by the court.

(a) Any person who (1) wilfully or unlawfully causes or permits any child under the age of sixteen years to be placed in such a situation that the life or limb of such child is endangered, the health of such child is likely to be injured or the morals of such child are likely to be impaired, or does any act likely to impair the health or morals of any such child, or (2) has contact with the intimate parts, as defined in section 53a-65, of a child under the age of sixteen years or subjects a child under sixteen years of age to contact with the intimate parts of such person, in a sexual and indecent manner likely to impair the health or morals of such child, or (3) permanently transfers the legal or physical custody of a child under the age of sixteen years to another person for money or other valuable consideration or acquires or receives the legal or physical custody of a child under the age of sixteen years from another person upon payment of money or other valuable consideration to such other person or a third person, except in connection with an adoption proceeding that complies with the provisions of chapter 803, shall be guilty of (A) a class C felonyfor a violation of subdivision (1) or (3) of this subsection, and (B) a class B felony for a violation of subdivision (2) of this subsection, except that, if the violation is of subdivision (2) of this subsection and the victim of the offense is under thirteen years of age, such person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of which five years of the sentence imposed may not be suspended or reduced by the court.

Yanki Rainitz's Heartwrenching letter to the Chareidie Community

Yanki Rainitz

Yaakov (Yanki) Rainitz as in recent times

Molestor Ahron Shlomo Lisson

Last week on Thursday (20 July), the Jerusalem District Court sentenced (Rabbi) Aharon Shlomo Lisson to a minimum of seven years for sexually abusing three brothers. Later that day, one of the courageous victims/survivors, Yaakov (Yankie) Rainitz, wrote a powerful public post in Hebrew about what transpired. Below is the unedited English version (published with Yankie's permission):

​I don’t know where to start, from the beginning or maybe from the end. You have heard a lot about me. You have seen me flickering across your TV screen on news sites where they refer to me as ‘Y’! I have decided to reveal my identity. I am Yankie Rainitz and I am 21 years old. I studied for many years with a respected teacher who will go to jail next month for a very long time!

My life story has been paraded during the past two years numerous times on national television and on different internet sites. But today, I have decided for the first time to remove the cloak of secrecy and to reveal my identity through my Facebook page, to reveal a little of the stormy ocean in my life. I am doing this to encourage, strengthen, uplift and give hope to all those children and young people who are going through the abuse behind closed doors which I experienced.

I was 12 years old when I started Year 8, where the respected, righteous and revered Rabbi Aharon Shlomo Lisson was teaching. This man, known as ‘Rav Lisson’, would consistently praise me in front of my class mates and the Talmud Torah staff. He would give me presents and send notes of satisfaction home with me to my parents. In the community and at home, this man was known as something rare and special, a real angel.

California Imam asking Allah to 'annihilate' Jews in sermon! Jewish Organizations Silent

Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney's office are investigating a California Imam who gave a sermon calling on Allah to "annihilate" Jews "down to the very last one" -- and asked for his congregants to take part in the slaughter.

Imam Ammar Shahin gave the sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis, California on Friday. He asked for Allah to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israel from "the filth of the Jews," according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute, and cited an Islamic text that calls for a Judgement Day fight between Muslims and Jews.

“Oh Allah, count them one by one and annihilate them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them,” said Shahin, who spoke in both Arabic and English during his sermon. “Oh Allah, make this happen by our hands. Let us play a part in this. Oh Allah, let us support them in words and in deeds.”

A video of the sermon was posted to the Islamic Center of Davis’ YouTube channel on Friday. Excerpts of the sermon, which lasted about two and a half minutes, were translated and posted on the MEMRI website.

In a statement on its website, the Islamic Center of Davis stood behind Shahin and his sermon, saying it was taken out of context.

Satmar "Neturei Karta" Branch Are Mechallel Shem Shamyim Protesting in Times Square On Shabbos

The Satmar funded Neturei Karta members, attended a Shabbos rally in Times Square to protest Israeli aggression on al-Aqsa. They actually walked from Williamsburg to Times Square to take part in the event on Saturday, July 22nd.

They protested “the recent Israeli attacking the Al-Aqsa”.

Satmar Organizers of the protest announced, “Due to the religious restriction of the Jewish Sabbath, the Rabbis where walking in in a hot weather of over 91′ degrees, all the way from the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, through the Williamsburg bridge, a walk of about two hours but cannot speak on the microphone”. 

However, their message to supporters was read.

Satmar loves to distance themselves from the savages that call themselves "Neturei Karta" .... but they fool no one ....

Satmar funds "Netrunei" the Neturei Karta Branch of Satmar...

Most of the Neturei Karta studied in Satmar Mosdos and quote the V'Yoel Moshe, the Satmar Quran constantly! 
Most live in Williamsburg and there are some savages who live in Monsey!

Jewish Community And Mahwah Residents At War Over Orders To Remove The Eruv.... Mahwah Borders Monsey

White plastic pipe that Town wants removed 

The town of Mahwah, New Jersey has ordered the removal of an Eruv, and the decision is garnering strong support from local residents.

On Friday, township officials delivered a letter ordering the removal of the Eruv – constructed to allow the town’s Jewish residents to carry items outside on Shabbos – on the basis of violating the town’s sign ordinances. The letter set August 4 as the deadline for the removal.

The Eruv was constructed by the South Monsey Eruv Fund, a group from the much larger Jewish community in nearby Monsey, New York, that has been constructing Eruvs in surrounding towns to accommodate the expanding community.

Mike Kelly, the town’s engineer, wrote the white PVC pipes used to install the Eruv on utility poles constitute a sign. Signs are prohibited on trees, rocks or utility poles in the township.

The South Monsey Eruv Fund informed the Associated Press that they had been granted permission by the utility company to hang the Eruv on it’s poles. Nonetheless, the town is using the sign ordinance as a means to force the Eruv’s removal.

“Our elected responsibilities are to serve the public and enforce the laws of the Township of Mahwah, Mayor Bill Laforet said. “This sends a very strong message to those who choose to violate our sign ordinances.”

Meanwhile, on Monday night, more than 200 town residents turned out for a meeting in support of the township’s decision.

Mahwah Strong, a Facebook group that organized the meeting, will serve as a check and balance for Mahwah to enforce its ordinances, said creator Robert Ferguson.

The group has amassed 3,000 members in just six days.

“I don’t view this as a hostile takeover of the town,” Ferguson said of the Monsey group. “All I want is for them to follow the law and stay within the bounds of the ordinances that exist.”

Additionally, more than 1,200 people have signed an online petition calling for the Eruv to be taken down. The petition, titled “Protect the Quality of our Community in Mahwah,” was shut down by it’s organizer after many hateful comments were left on the page. Several comments refer to “these people,” and express concerns about falling property values. Most of them are anonymous.

“I don’t want these rude, nasty, dirty people who think they can do what they want in our nice town,” one of the comments reads.

Another says: “I do not want the town of Mahwah to turn into an undesirable place to live. These people do not assimilate with other people outside their community. I do not want them controlling our school board and siphoning funds for their yeshivas. Also, they buy houses which they claim is for religious purposes and do not pay taxes. They should stay where they are and leave our town alone.”

Two other towns located within the eruv — Montvale and Upper Saddle River — are taking action similar to Mahwah’s.

On Monday, Montvale Mayor Mike Ghassali said he had issued a stop-order letter to the Monsey group weeks ago.

“According to our ordinance, we don’t allow signs of any kind on our poles,” said Ghassali.

So far, he said, the group has complied with the order. But if the installation of pipes continues into the borough, he said Montvale is prepared to remove them and issue a summons.

An attorney for Upper Saddle River made similar demands in a July 18 letter to Orange & Rockland Utilities, which granted the Monsey group permission to install the piping on its poles in March. The borough is insisting that the pipes be removed immediately.

While Israel Buries Murder Victims Ezra Friedlander Posts Anti-Israel Hateful Video

Ezra Tuchis lekking Hillary

From a DIN reader:

The two faces of Ezra Friedlander The Friedlander Group scam artist said...

Ezra Friedlander of 'The Friedlander Group' continues to play his two faced game.

The other day, even before the latest victims of terrorism were buried, Friedlander tweeted a link to a video lecture promoting the anti-zionism of the late Satmar Rebbe R. Joel Teitelbaum. He did it in the past as well.

Here it is - https://twitter.com/EzraFriedlander/status/888968305381343232
He goes to AIPAC, mixes with zionists, poses as a supporter of Israel, but, at the same time, publicized the anti-zionist lectures of the rabid anti zionist activist Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) Cohen of of Midwood, Brooklyn, of Natruna, the Satmar version of Neturei Karta.

He can believe what he wishes, but to be deceptive is not right. Let Friedlander be open about his anti zionism.

It is high time Ezra Friedlander be exposed for his phoniness. Enough of the Friedlander group scam.

The truth about Ezra Friedlander needs to be known.

Helbrans's Daughter Dies After Suffering Allergic Reaction; Buried In Guatemala

Catholic Churches in Jerusalem Blame Israel for Muslim Violence, Deny Biblical Roots of Temple Mount

The Catholics who murdered and raped us for a thousand years are now blaming us for Arabs rioting ..... 

Their own "God" went to the Bais Hamikdash many times ...yet now his savage followers are denying that there was a Bais Hamikdash ..... may they all drop dead!

Amid the intensifying battles surrounding the Temple Mount, the Catholic Church expressed its concerns in terms that placed the blame entirely on Israel while referring to the site exclusively by its Muslim name. One bishop stated in an interview on Vatican Radio that there has, in fact, been no Palestinian violence.

On Sunday, Pope Francis addressed the crowd gathered in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square, telling them that he viewed “with trepidation the grave tensions and violence” surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

“I feel the need to express a distressed appeal for moderation and dialogue,” the Pope said, calling on the people to pray for the sake of Jerusalem.

The violence the Pope is referring to began ten days ago when three Palestinian terrorists murdered two Druze Israeli policemen while they guarded the entrance to the Temple Mount. The Israeli police entered the site and, after a gunbattle, killed the three terrorists. 

The Israeli government closed the site to all visitors until Sunday, when it reopened to Muslims with increased security measures that included walk-through metal detectors. The Islamic Waqf, the Muslim trust which controls the Temple Mount, called for a boycott of the site. Muslim crowds rioted last week and three Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli police.

On Friday night, a Palestinian, citing the situation at the Temple Mount as his motivation, entered the town of Halamish. There, he murdered a 70-year-old grandfather and his middle-aged son and daughter while they sat at their Sabbath table. He also seriously wounded the 68-year-old grandmother.

In the wake of the growing violence, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem released a statement. Signed by the heads of all 13 Christian communities in Jerusalem, it condemned the recent escalation of violence at the Temple Mount, but did so in language that clearly favored the Palestinians and condemned Israel. The statement referred to the site by its Arabic names, disregarding any Jewish or Christian connection to the site.

“We, the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, express our serious concern regarding recent escalation in violent developments around Haram ash-Sharif and our grief for the loss of human life and strongly condemn any act of violence,” the statement read.

The statement said that the violence was due solely to a change in the status quo, i.e. placing metal detectors at the entrances to the Temple Mount.

“We are worried about any change to historical (Status Quo) situation in al-Aqsa Mosque (Haram ash-Sharif) and its courtyard, and in the holy city of Jerusalem. Any threat to its continuity and integrity could easily lead to serious and unpredictable consequences, which would be most unwelcome in the present tense religious climate.

“We value the continued custody of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy places in Jerusalem and the Holy Land which guarantees the right for all Muslims to free access and worship to al Aqsa Mosque according to the prevailing Status Quo.

“We renew our call that the historical Status Quo governing these sites be fully respected, for the sake of peace and reconciliation to the whole community, and we pray for a just and lasting peace in the whole region and all its peoples.”

The statement made no mention of the Muslim terror attack that led to Israel placing the metal detectors at the entrances to the site. Nor did it refer to the horrific Palestinian terror attack on Friday.

Bishop Munib Younan, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land, said on Vatican radio that the metal detectors are a form of “collective punishment” which should not be permitted “because of an attack by two persons.”

The bishop claimed that thousands of Muslims pray at the site during Ramadan and “everything goes smoothly”. He did not mention the murder of IDF Border Policewoman Hadas Malkah, which took place during Ramadan.

“It’s essential to find a political solution to end the Israeli occupation, which is considered illegal,” the bishop concluded.

ObamaCare Explodes?

Victims of terror attack identified as Salomon family

Murder victims

Elad on right photo was murdered, his wife left photo survived attack

The names of those killed in Friday's terror attack in Neve Tzuf (Halamish) are Yosef Salomon (70), and his children Haya (46) and Elad (36). Their identities had been under a gag order until Saturday night.

The Salomon family, residents of Neve Tzuf in the Binyamin region, had been celebrating the birth of a new grandchild Fridaynight, when 19 year old Omer al-Ebed burst in, stabbing and killing the grandfather Yosef and his children.

Elad's wife locked the children in a side room, likely saving the grisly body count from rising.

An off duty soldier from the Oketz K-9 unit realized what was underway and fired through the windrow, hitting Al-Abed and stopping the attack in progress. Al-Abed is being treated in Petach Tikvah;s Rabin Medical Center.

Al-Abed, who had written on Facebook earlier that "There is no point of living without the Al-Aqsa Mosque," had bought his knife days earlier in preparation of carrying out an attack. He was reportedly connected to Hamas, but was not an active member of the terror group

Three Israelis Stabbed To Death by Palestinian Savage

 Israel says a Palestinian has carried out a stabbing attack inside an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, and that three of the wounded have died of their wounds.

Israeli news site Ynet said the Palestinian stabbed and critically wounded a woman in her 70s, and seriously wounded a man in his 30s and woman in her 60s after infiltrating a house in the Halamish settlement  also known as Neve Tsuf, north west of Ramallah, on Friday night.

Eli Bin, the head of Israel’s rescue service MDA told Israeli Radio that two of those wounded have died.

The violence came at the end of a day of deadly clashes over tensions at a major Jerusalem shrine.

Including Friday’s violence, Palestinians have killed 47 Israelis, two visiting Americans and a British tourist in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks against civilians and soldiers.

During that period, Israeli forces have killed more than 255 Palestinians, most of them attackers.

Israel blames the violence on incitement by Palestinian political and religious leaders. 

Trump Donor Who Tried To Obtain Hillary Clinton’s Hacked Emails Found Dead

Peter W Smith, a GOP financier from Chicago’s North Shore, had checked into a room the Rochester Hotel only to be found dead a few days later with a suspicious suicide note that said, “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER”, according to police records.

His death has been ruled a suicide by police who said he died of asphyxiation after suffocating from a plastic bag being placed over his head.

The police report also noted that he had traces of Helium in his system, although this was ruled as being unrelated to his death.

Rochester Police say that his death isn’t being treated as suspicious and his body was cremated shortly after being released by the coroner.

Mr. Smith’s family and friends described him as a “fighter” and say they are shocked by the news, saying he “wasn’t the type” to take his own life and was “far too dedicated to his work”.

Hotel workers stated that he seemed “in good spirits” before he died and were “really surprised” to hear about his suicide.

The hotel is used almost exclusively by patients and relatives of Mayo Clinic, with one hotel worker commenting that he “looked like he’d had some good news”, assuming he’d spoken with doctors during his stay.

Chicago Tribune reports: Days earlier, the financier from suburban Lake Forest gave an interview to the Journal about his quest, and it began publishing stories about his efforts in late June. The Journal also reported it had seen emails written by Smith showing his team considered retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, then a top adviser to Republican Donald Trump‘s campaign, an ally. Flynn briefly was President Trump’s national security adviser and resigned after it was determined he had failed to disclose contacts with Russia.At the time, the newspaper reported Smith’s May 14 death came about 10 days after he granted the interview. Mystery shrouded how and where he had died, but the lead reporter on the stories said on a podcast he had no reason to believe the death was the result of foul play and that Smith likely had died of natural causes.However, the Chicago Tribune obtained a Minnesota state death record filed in Olmsted County saying Smith committed suicide in a hotel near the Mayo Clinic at 1:17 p.m. on Sunday, May 14. He was found with a bag over his head with a source of helium attached. A medical examiner’s report gives the same account, without specifying the time, and a report from Rochester police further details his suicide.In the note recovered by police, Smith apologized to authorities and said that “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER” was involved in his death. He wrote that he was taking his own life because of a “RECENT BAD TURN IN HEALTH SINCE JANUARY, 2017” and timing related “TO LIFE INSURANCE OF $5 MILLION EXPIRING.”

He had been staying at the hotel for several days and had extended his stay at least once but was expected to check out on the day his body was found. “Tomorrow is my last day,” Smith told a hotel worker on May 13 while he worked on a computer in the business center, printing documents, according to the police reports.One of Smith’s former employees told the Tribune he thought the elderly man had gone to the famed clinic to be treated for a heart condition. Mayo spokeswoman Ginger Plumbo said Thursday she could not confirm Smith had been a patient, citing medical privacy laws.The Journal stories said that on Labor Day weekend last year Smith assembled a team to acquire emails the team theorized might have been stolen from the private server Clinton had used while secretary of state. Smith’s focus was the more than 30,000 emails Clinton said she deleted because they related to personal matters. A huge cache of other Clinton emails was made public.Smith told the Journal he believed the missing emails might have been obtained by Russian hackers. He also said he thought the correspondence related to Clinton’s official duties. He told the Journal he worked independently and was not part of the Trump campaign. He also told the Journal he and his team found five groups of hackers — two of them Russian groups — that claimed to have Clinton’s missing emails.

R' Kalman Mendelsohn, founder of Mendelsohn's Pizza in Boro Park Passes Away at 65

Reb Kalman Mendelsohn, founder of the famed Mendelsohn's Pizza in Boro Park, Brooklyn, passed away on Shabbos, 21 Tammuz, 5777 in Jerusalem.

He was 65.

Reb Kalman, son of Rabbi Mayer Mendelsohn obm, a Gerrer Chossid from Israel, moved with his family in the late 1950s to the neighborhood of Crown Heights.

Growing up in Crown Heights near the Chabad community, he soon developed a strong connection to the Rebbe and the Lubavitch community. 

He often told of an incident which happened when he was 5 years old, playing on the corner of Kingston Avenue and President Street near Raskin's fruit store. He recalled running into the street to retrieve a ball, directly into oncoming traffic. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shirt, pulling him to safety. Looking up, he saw that it was the Lubavitcher Rebbe who had saved him, he told.

As a bochur, Reb Kalman learned in the famous Yeshivas Chiddushei Harim, and after his marriage, he founded the famed Mendelsohn's Pizza Dairy Restaurant in Boro Park, Brooklyn, a place for families to be able to enjoy a fresh, nourishing and affordable hot meal in a proper environment. 

The store, known as "the crossroads between Boro Park, Flatbush and Crown Heights," also became a place of Chesed for the entire New York community and beyond. Shiva homes would receive big orders at no charge. Newly-married couples would come to Mendelsohn's during Sheva Brachos for a free delicious lunch as a wedding gift and would also receive Brachos from Reb Kalman.

Anyone traveling from Eretz Yisroel or Europe to seek help in America knew that he could get a fresh hot meal, a warm smile, a listening ear and good advice, at Reb Kalman's restaurant on 18th Avenue, and all at no charge.

The Mendelsohn's home in Boro Park as well, was open to guests at all times. Their Shabbos table often had ten to twenty Yeshiva boys in addition to many others.

Reb Kalman moved to Israel several years ago and would come often to visit his family in New York. Even on his final Shabbos, there were guests in the Mendelsohn home in Jerusalem.

Reb Kalman would often visit the Congregation Ohel Moshe - Chevra Thilim Lubavitch Shul at Lubavitch Yeshiva on Ocean Parkway, where his son Motti serves as the Gabbai. 

He is survived by his wife, Basya and children Motti Mendelsohn, Heshy Mendelsohn, Meyer Mendelsohn, Chaya Friedman, Devorah Weinberg and Esther Chana Nussbaum, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He is also survived by his siblings, Miriam Weber, Rochele Abramowitz, Leah Greenbaum, Menachem Mendelsohn, Yankel Mendelsohn.

The levayah and Kevura took place on Motzei Shabbos in Yerushalayim.

Shiva in New York is at 1809 - 51 Street in Boro Park, Brooklyn NY.
