"We've been very worried about you" Three words from the Israeli policeman in Argentina to the Mother & Daughter that were "missing"

 "We've been very worried about you"

Those were the first words the Israeli policeman said when the two missing women were finally found—words that hit harder than any siren, any headline, any speech. Because behind that simple sentence stood an entire country that had been searching for them as if they were its own daughters.

The moment they disappeared, Israel didn’t wait. It didn’t hesitate. It didn’t ask whether it was “practical.” It moved. Fast. Even when they already knew that the Mother/Daughter team left voluntarily.

Across borders, across oceans, across bureaucracies—Israeli diplomats, police, intelligence units, and volunteers turned the world upside down. Every airport camera was checked. Every bus route traced. Every lead pursued. No detail was too small. No distance too far.

Because in Israel, a missing citizen is a national emergency.

And when the women were finally located— alive—the Israeli officer stepped forward and said the words that summed up the entire operation:

“We’ve been very worried about you.”

Not “Show me your passport.” Not “What happened?” Not “Do you know how much trouble this caused?”

Just worry. Just care. Just love.

Only one country on earth mobilizes like this for two individuals. Only one country treats every citizen as family. Only one country searches the world and then greets you with:

“We’ve been very worried about you.”

That is Israel.That is our government. That is who we are.

The FJJ (Flatbush Jewish Journal) Rewrites History of R' Yoel Teitelbaum on how he was saved during the Holocaust!

 

Satmar is embarrassed that their founder R' Yoel Teitelbaum was rescued by the Zionists, the very people he hated with a passion.

So they started a campaign to rewrite history and say that he was actually rescued as a "result of the negotiations of Rav Michael Ber Weissmandl with Adolf Eichmann! This is of course an unmitigated lie, but what I am surprised is that a Flatbush Newspaper would print and sneak in this garbage in their column "Yahrzeits Tributes"!

Thank the L-rd, in the following issue of August 13, two of their readers called them out on this vile attempt to erase the truth and replace it with Satmar propaganda! 

Shabbos Attacker in NYC Synagogue punches congregant in antisemitic attack

 A hateful lunatic barged into a Manhattan synagogue on Friday evening, assaulting a congregant and headbutting a security guard in a deranged antisemitic attack, police said.

Larry Montes, 46, allegedly launched the unhinged attack at Central Synagogue on Lexington Avenue and East 55th Street during Shabbat services, according to police and sources.

He walked to the front of the synagogue around 6 p.m. and began acting disorderly, law enforcement sources said.

Security stepped in and began to escort the man outside — but not before he allegedly slugged a 63-year-old congregant in the face, the sources said.

Montes, of the Bronx, also allegedly headbutted and spat at a security guard and broke two religious candles valued at $20,000.

An NYPD sergeant working a paid detail at the house of worship took Montes into custody.

Harrowing livestream footage of the service shared to X shows Montes in a rage, shouting erratically at the front of the synagogue.

An object off camera is then heard shattering, causing the congregation to collectively cry out.

Montes is then seen being escorted out down the aisle as he screams and forcefully throws his fists into the air.

The alleged antisemite was charged with two counts of assault as a hate crime and one count of criminal mischief as a hate crime.

“I have spoken with the rabbi of the synagogue, and I’m relieved that no one was seriously injured,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement.

“There are no known additional threats at this time, and additional NYPD resources have been deployed to the synagogue,” added Tisch, who attended the same synagogue as a kid.

Tisch said she spoke to the synagogue’s rabbi following the incident and confirmed “those who were hurt were evaluated at the scene and are doing well.”

“I understand the sanctity of this space and its meaning for congregants. Central Synagogue is where I grew up,” the commissioner wrote.

“In joy and in sorrow, it has always been a place of comfort and peace. What happened there tonight is deeply painful. A place of worship should never be a crime scene.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul called the assault “appalling” and is “grateful the suspect is in custody and that no one was seriously injured.”

“Jewish New Yorkers have every right to worship openly, proudly, and without fear,” Hochul wrote on X.

Similarly, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was “horrified by the assault at Central Synagogue.”

“I can only imagine the pain and fear an attack like this, during Shabbat services, causes for the congregation and for Jewish New Yorkers across our city,” Hizzoner said. 

“Every New Yorker must be able to observe their religion without fear of violence. This despicable act has no place in our city, and our administration will do everything in our power to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.”

Attorney General Letitia James said her “heart is with the Central Synagogue community this evening.”

“The assault during services at Central Synagogue today is appalling and unacceptable,” James said on X.

“No one should feel threatened in their place of worship.”

Britain Furious Only at Netanyahu Because he Said "The first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain" Something that Vance Also Said!

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked a diplomatic uproar in Britain after making an unusual remark during Avi Harush’s podcast on Galei Tzahal, Israel’s Army Radio.

Netanyahu said that “someone said the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain,” adding that Israel is making sure there will not be another such country in Iran.

The remark triggered sharp reactions in Britain. Popular British broadcaster Piers Morgan issued scathing criticism and called Netanyahu an “idiot.

MK Avi Dabush of the Democrats also attacked Netanyahu, saying: “You are a prime minister, you have a responsibility, and you sit and joke about Britain, a Security Council member six times larger than Israel.”

The phrase used by Netanyahu was not new. He was drawing on comments made by U.S. Vice President JD Vance in July 2024, when Vance was still a senator and vice-presidential candidate. Speaking at the National Conservatism conference in Washington, Vance said Britain could become “the first truly Islamist country” to obtain nuclear weapons.

Vance described a conversation he had with a friend about the danger of nuclear proliferation, saying: “We thought — maybe it’s Iran, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we decided that maybe it’s actually Britain, since Labour came to power.”

The controversy comes amid months of diplomatic tension between Israel and Britain, with the British government under the Labour Party taking a more critical stance toward Israeli policy.

Missing Yahalomi Mother and Daughter Found Alive in Argentina

 

On a bus in Argentina

 

IIsrael Police announced Friday that Mali Yahalomi and her daughter Liel, who mysteriously disappeared during a trip to Vienna a week ago, have been located safe and unharmed in Argentina.

Police released dramatic footage showing officers, including representatives from Israel and Interpol, boarding a bus in Argentina and approaching the mother and daughter. Mali and Liel appear confused and surprised as the officers introduce themselves, but both appear unharmed.

The discovery ends an international search launched after the two abruptly vanished from Vienna last Friday and cut off all contact with their family.

Their disappearance had triggered an extensive investigation involving Israel Police’s Lahav 433 unit, Austrian authorities and international law-enforcement agencies.

It remains unclear why Mali and Liel stopped communicating with their family, how and when they traveled from Austria to Argentina, or why they made the trip.

A police source stated: ‘We tracked their movements and managed to locate the bus they were traveling on. We knew they had likely left the country voluntarily and that they were not in any danger, but we needed to confirm this. We contacted them, updated them on the situation, and ensured that there was no criminal concern. From that point on, it was their decision. They voluntarily ended contact, and their lives are not in danger. This is not a criminal incident, and there is no basis for arrest.

Zera Shimshon Parshat Shoftim

 

Outrage in Israel at Porush who wants the US to Pressure Israel on Chardeim

 

MK Meir Porush (United Torah Judaism) one of the biggest liars sitting in the Knesset, sent a letter to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, calling on the US administration to intervene in Israeli domestic policy to prevent the arrests of haredim who evade military service.

In Nach we see that getting outside help for internal matters ends up in disaster, Hashem is not happy with the big beards!

In the letter, titled “Urgent Request for the Protection of Yeshiva students in Israel in Honor of ‘Jewish American Heritage Month,’" Porush praised the US administration and President Donald Trump for their support of the Jewish people and Jewish tradition.

“Throughout the generations, the United States has proven itself to be a nation that can be defined as ‘Righteous Among the Nations,’" Porush wrote.

He added that under President Trump, “we see an administration that also honors the Torah of the Jewish people, cherishes its values, and works tirelessly for the security and prosperity of the Jewish people."

Porush in a blatent lie contrasted what he described as American respect for Jewish tradition with the treatment of haredi draft evaders in Israel.

“While in the US, the government goes out of its way to celebrate and honor the Jewish religion and heritage, in Israel, the military and judicial authorities act in ways of "persecution" and arrests against yeshiva students whose sole occupation is Torah study," he wrote. (that is an unmitigated lie, as most Chardeim do not learn at all, this week they were all out on the streets protesting)

According to Porush, “If the American government, through all its branches, finds it appropriate to honor the Jewish religion and respect its values, it is only fitting that the authorities in the State of Israel act with similar respect toward yeshiva students, who have been the guardians of our people's eternal flame for thousands of years."

Porush called on Huckabee to have the US government “exercise its moral influence and call upon the judicial authorities in Israel to immediately and completely cease the arrests of Torah scholars and yeshiva students."

(Another lie: 

“There is no more fitting time than ‘Jewish Heritage Month’ to clarify that the protection of yeshiva students is a supreme Jewish and democratic value," he wrote.

Huckabee defends the Settlers of Judea and Samaria: 'Unsettlers' are the problem

 

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee defended Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria on Thursday, distinguishing between the region's established Jewish communities and a small number of Israelis involved in criminal or violent activity.

“‘Settlers’ are not the problem in Judea/Samaria. ‘Unsettlers’ are," Huckabee wrote. “Very small minority who do great damage to Palestinian families & to Israel."

Huckabee cited Yisrael Ganz, Governor of the Binyamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, who condemned the actions of Israelis involved in a recent incident near the Palestinian Arab village of Qusra.

“Real settlers like Yisrael Ganz, Governor of Judea/Samaria, condemn the actions of the few," Huckabee wrote. “Let's hope the media gives attention to this & balances their stories."

An Entirely New Understanding of Rav Avrohom Yitzchok Kook

 

By Rabbi Yair Hoffman

The 3rd of Elul, which falls on Motzai Shabbos this week, marks the 91st yahrtzeit of Rav Avrohom Yitzchok Kook. Most people view Rav Kook as the founder of a specific form of Religious Zionism. While that is certainly true, perhaps his greatest and most lasting contribution actually had nothing at all to do with Zionism.

Before we get to that thesis, there are a few questions that need to be asked.

Rav Yoseph Chaim Sonnenfeld embarked upon a famous trip with Rav Kook — across the width and breadth of Eretz Yisroel. How did that happen exactly? Could it happen now? Would, say, one of the Satmar Rebbeim take a tour across America with a leading Zionistic Rabbi — say Rav Shlomo Aviner?

Another question: how is it that the Chofetz Chaim had such a unique and special relationship with Rav Kook, and yet did not adopt his outlook on the Zionist movement? How was it that Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, who sat on the Moetzes of Agudas Yisroel, defended him publicly against his attackers? How was it that Rav Yitzchok Hutner had a picture of Rav Kook in his Sukkah in the early years? How is it that he initially printed Rav Kook’s Haskamah on his sefer?

The classic response from the Chareidi world will explain with something along the lines of “Oh, well they were unaware of his exact thoughts on the matter,” or “Yes, but his remarkable Ahavas Yisroel made him more acceptable to them,” or something else along these lines. The thesis presented below will answer these questions in a different way entirely. So here goes.

Tomorrow is the first of Elul ...Hear the Prophecy of Chagai and See Similarities of the reaction of Charedim of Chutz Le'aaretz Today

 

It's Selichos Time and OTD Girl Finds her way back ....

 Watch her mother davening for her daughter to come back, but she already did!

‘Nightmare scenario’ for Israel as Islamic alliance takes shape

 

A new defense alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan is likely to pose a serious long-term threat to Israel, Jonathan Pollard warned this week.

By World Israel News Staff

A newly formed defense alliance bringing together Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan could dramatically reshape Israel’s strategic environment in the years ahead, according to Jonathan Pollard.

The three countries signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement on Aug. 7, establishing a collective-defense arrangement under which an armed attack against one member would be regarded as an attack against all three.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has compared the principle to NATO’s Article 5 collective-defense clause, although the precise military obligations imposed on each country remain unclear.

Writing in an analysis published by Israel National News, Pollard warned that Israel should focus not only on what the alliance is today, but on what it could eventually become.

“The nightmare scenario is not necessarily that the Mecca agreement immediately becomes an Islamic NATO,” Pollard wrote. “The nightmare is that it gradually becomes one.”

Jewish Families Return to Northern Samaria 21 Years After Disengagement

 

Thirty Jewish families  have moved permanently to the site of Ganim, one of four northern Samaria communities evacuated and demolished under Israel's 2005 Disengagement Plan. 

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich hailed the return as a historic correction, declaring, “We are erasing the disgrace of the expulsion and strengthening Judea and Samaria.” 

The move comes days after 22 families established the new Emek Dotan community nearby.

Did the missing Mother & Daughter Vanish Voluntarily ??

 

The Rishon L’Tzion Magistrate’s Court on Thursday approved a request by Lahav 433’s National Unit to impose a gag order on the investigation into the disappearance of Mali Yahalomi, 50, and her daughter Liel, 23, in Vienna, Ynet reported.

The order prohibits publication of any details from the investigation and will remain in effect until September 13. “This means that any publication from this point onward constitutes a criminal offense,” police stressed.

The investigation was transferred to Lahav 433 on Wednesday. An initial Israel Police probe indicated that there are signs that the two may have disappeared on their own volition. Investigators are examining indications that location data was deleted from the women’s mobile phones several days before they disappeared. They are also examining the possibility that the mother and daughter had obtained a significant amount of cash before leaving Israel.

In addition, the Austrian Kronen Zeitung newspaper reported Wednesday evening, citing Vienna police, that there was “no indication of criminal activity” in the case. The statement means that Vienna police currently believe there are no signs that a criminal offense is being or has been committed in connection with the case.

Overnight, the family issued a statement addressing the reports and said family members had given testimony to Lahav 433 and provided investigators with all the information in their possession.

“The Yahalomi family views with great severity the briefings and reports circulated in recent hours in the name of officials from the Israel Police Spokesperson’s Division, which create the public impression that a conclusion has already been established regarding the circumstances of Mali and Liel’s disappearance,” the statement said.

The family stressed that “some of the information that was published was not presented to the family, and the family possesses information that contradicts some of the claims raised in the reports. This information was also presented to the family by official Israel Police representatives who were in contact with the family.”

“It should be noted that according to the information provided by Israel Police, there was no unusual activity in Mali and Liel’s bank accounts, and the last transaction took place on August 3. If Israel Police possesses data and documents substantiating the claims that were published, the family requests that they be presented as part of the investigation and examined against the information in its possession.”

“The family therefore wishes to make unequivocally clear that, contrary to what was publicized by the police spokesperson, at the present stage there is no basis whatsoever to rule out the possibility of a terrorist incident motivated by nationalism.”

“Mali and Liel Yahalomi have been out of contact since Friday evening, August 7. The loss of contact is completely out of character. Throughout the trip, they remained in contact with the family, shared photos and experiences, and then contact with them suddenly ceased.”

“As long as Mali and Liel have not been located, and as long as the possibility of a terrorist incident has not been ruled out on the basis of clear findings, the family demands that Israel Police, security and intelligence agencies, and the Austrian authorities continue to examine this scenario with the utmost seriousness and with all the means at their disposal.”

“The family is not seeking to determine through the media what happened to Mali and Liel. By the same token, it is not prepared to accept a situation in which the scenario that they voluntarily cut off contact is elevated to the status of a conclusion before the completion of the investigations.”
