The New Charedie Party Declares Publicly that they are the only ones Following Rav Shach! Shas, Degel, Aguda follow thugs
Maran Rosh Kallah" G Rav Shach zt"l:
"The exemption granted to the yeshiva student from military conscription is solely on the condition that his Torah be his profession, and that he not engage in any material occupation, neither during yeshiva hours nor outside them, and they shall see this as an inviolable condition."
By its light shall we go and proceed!!
The new party of the haredi public is the only party that obeys the will of Maran zt"l and declares the obligation of conscription for those whose Torah is not their profession, while the wheeler-dealer parties have come with new regulations that our forefathers never imagined, invented by the thugs of the Jerusalemite faction, and thereby endanger the world of Torah.
Chardeim Attacking the Chardeie Candidate Dr Naomi (Nehami) Yaffe
A few words about this video,
Naomi gets a ton of mud slung at her online:
'Stammering", "evasive," "scared", a "Haredi in disguise, etc."
And in my eyes, this video is exactly the opposite!
You can see the sincerity, straightforwardness, courage, and morality in her eyes.
Any reasonable person understands that this evasiveness is because the approval she got to run isn’t for public release—why?
That’s a whole other issue.
After all, she explicitly says she doesn’t do anything without rabbinical approval, especially and certainly not a dramatic step like running for the Knesset.
The need of all sorts of journalists to back her into a corner and attack in an attempt to unsettle her
In the end, it backfires on them.
Because they’re the ones who come off as the aggressors (search YouTube comments on Naomi’s interview with Yaakov Grudka), and she responds with grace and a smile, thinks, sometimes stays silent.
She’s new to this arena, and they don’t give her a moment’s grace! They interpret every hesitation as weakness, as ignorance, even though in terms of intellect she outshines them by leaps and bounds.
Give me representatives like Naomi—those who don’t answer immediately with arrogance, don’t fire off populist responses from the hip.
I want caring representatives, for whom the desire for change runs in their blood, it’s part of who they are.
The Haredi sector matters to her, the country matters, the integration between them is critical for her; she’s running to right wrongs and repair the world.
We always want good, honest people to represent us in the Knesset,
But the prices those people have to pay, the mud they sometimes have to wade through, can deter them from running.
I’m so thrilled that Naomi, despite everything, is willing to go through all this for the chance to make a change here. I hope she succeeds.

British Cruelty and Barbarism Continues unabated
It's been revealed tonight that the former bodyguard of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was given "asylum" and citizenship in the UK.
He then used his position to plot a huge terror attack targeting Jews in Europe, which was foiled.
It gets worse, An unnamed District Judge, sitting at Westminster Magistrates Court, decided to granted him a ‘100 year anonymity order’!
The UK isn't just occupied, the occupiers are plotting with the enemy against the people!
Dutch Customs Search El Al Passengers as New Ban Targets Goods From Judea and Samaria, With Violators Facing Up to Six Years in Prison
Passengers arriving in Amsterdam on an El Al flight from Tel Aviv reported being sent through additional baggage inspections as the Netherlands began enforcing a ban on goods originating in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The restrictions extend beyond commercial imports to souvenirs, gifts and other items carried by individual travelers.
Dutch outlet NieuwRechts reported that passenger and opinion writer Sivan Behr described everyone arriving from Israel on her flight being directed through screening, including travelers who had entered the “Nothing to Declare” lane. According to her account, an officer said such inspections were routinely conducted on intercontinental flights, an explanation she questioned based on previous journeys. The account concerns a particular flight and does not establish that every passenger on every flight from Israel is being searched.
BEN GVIR FACE-TO-FACE WITH HAMAS TERRORIST: “I WANT TO KILL YOU”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted extraordinary footage of himself confronting Hassan Salamah, the imprisoned Ham*s operative convicted of orchestrating two 1996 Jerusalem bus bombings that killed 48 people.
“I want to kill you. I want to put you to death,” Ben Gvir told him directly.
For Ben Gvir, the confrontation brought the story full circle. He recalled protesting the deadly bombings as a teenager. Now, three decades later, he is Israel’s National Security Minister and said the encounter gave him “closure,” adding that he is able to pursue policies that have made Salamah’s life behind bars significantly harsher.
The 45 people murdered in those bombings were ordinary civilians who began their day with no idea they would never make it home. Their deaths left behind families whose lives were permanently changed.
Ben Gvir’s words and his push for the death penalty for convicted terrorists remain politically controversial. His anger over the attacks, however, echoes sentiments expressed by many Israelis over the years, particularly those who lost loved ones to terrorism.
Netflix refused to air NOVA because the killing of innocent Jews were “too political.”
Some of the biggest accounts on X have reposted and quoted this, yet it is still barely reaching people.
Netflix called a documentary exposing the Nova massacre through real footage “too political” to stream.
More than 360 people were murdered at that festival.
Do not let the massacre of Jews be buried because someone decided showing what happened was “too political.”
And let the antisemites trying to silence Jewish voices on X know that they will not succeed.
50 out of 53 BBC "Journalists" killed by Israel were terrorists
Remember the
@BBC’s story about Israel killing 53 “journalists” in Gaza? Well it turns out that at least 50 of them were actually jihadi terrorists or directly tied to jihad groups.
It gets worse: the BBC, in most cases, was aware of the terror ties.
The BBC SHOULD be called the “PPC”, the Palestinian Propaganda Company.

DIN.... Sukkot Musings
Living in Eretz Yisrael, I often find myself amused by small, unexpected things. Take aravot, for example. Here, every arava seems to droop. When I lived in Monsey, the aravot stood upright like soldiers. In Israel, I never struggle to find a beautiful esrog, a perfect lulav, or impeccable hadassim — but aravot? For nine years, I have yet to find a set that truly satisfies me.
When I shopped for my arba minim, I watched people carefully examine esrogim, lulavim, and hadasim. They turned them over, inspected every detail, scrutinized every leaf. But when it came to aravot, they simply grabbed the package and walked away without even a glance.
And yet, it was the arava that encircled the mizbeach during Sukkos.
That contrast made me think.
Chazal teach that the willow — the arava — has neither taste nor fragrance. It represents Jews who possess neither Torah scholarship nor meticulous mitzvah observance.
The Pesikta deRav Kahana (Piska 27) says something astonishing:
מה הערבה הזאת אין בה לא טעם ולא ריח, כך יש בישראל בני אדם שאינן לא בעלי תורה ולא בעלי מעשים טובים. אמר הקב״ה: לאבדן אי אפשר, אלא יעשו כולם אגודה אחת והם מכפרים אלו על אלו. לפיכך משה מזהיר את ישראל ואומר להם: “ולקחתם לכם”.
“Just as the arava has neither taste nor fragrance, so too among the Jewish people there are those who are not baalei Torah and possess no mitzvos. The Ribbono Shel Olam said: Since I cannot destroy them, I will bind them together as one agudah, and they will atone for one another. Therefore Moshe warned Klal Yisrael and said: ‘Velakachtem lachem…’”
Remarkable. It crossed the mind of the RBS"O to destroy these Jews — and instead He decided that the only way to save them was to keep them together.
Thankfully, I found another Midrash (Vayikra Rabbah 30) that offers an entirely different perspective:
פרי עץ הדר — זה הקב״ה…כפות תמרים — זה הקב״ה…ענף עץ עבות — זה הקב״ה…ערבי נחל — זה הקב״ה…
In this Midrash, all four minim are equal. Not one is more important than the other, and each “min” reflects an aspect of HaKadosh Baruch Hu Himself.
But Chazal add yet another layer.
In Chagigah (12b), they teach that the arava corresponds to the seventh heaven — the highest, holiest of all:
רַב יְהוּדָה: שְׁנֵי רְקִיעִים הֵן רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר: שִׁבְעָה, וְאֵלּוּ הֵן: וִילוֹן, רָקִיעַ, שְׁחָקִים, זְבוּל, מָעוֹן, מָכוֹן, עֲרָבוֹת
ערבות...שֶׁבּוֹ צֶדֶק מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה, גִּנְזֵי חַיִּים וְגִנְזֵי שָׁלוֹם וְגִנְזֵי בְרָכָה, וְנִשְׁמָתָן שֶׁל צַדִּיקִים, וְרוּחוֹת וּנְשָׁמוֹת שֶׁעֲתִיד[וֹת] לְהִיבָּרְאוֹת, וְטַל שֶׁעָתִיד הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְהַחֲיוֹת בּוֹ מֵתִים...... . שָׁם אוֹפַנִּים וּשְׂרָפִים וְחַיּוֹת הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וּמַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁרֵת,"וְכִסֵּא הַכָּבוֹד, מֶלֶךְ אֵל חַי רָם וְנִשָּׂא שׁוֹכֵן עֲלֵיהֶם בָּעֲרָבוֹת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״סוֹלּוּ לָרוֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבוֹת בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ״
The throne of the Ribbono Shel Olam rests upon the seventh heaven, called aravos. That is why, on the holiest days, we describe Hashem as “רוכב ערבות” — the "One who rides upon the aravos."
There is no more fitting occasion than Sukkos — the holiday that gathers all Jews together — to speak about the arava, through which we learn to recognize that even those who have neither taste nor fragrance are just as important to Klall Yisrael than those represented by the Esrog!
Remember: a thousand esrogim cannot replace even one arava.
This message goes to the heart of Sukkos. Religious life can tempt us to create a hierarchy of Jewish worth. We naturally admire the “esrogim” — those whose Torah knowledge is deep, whose mitzvah observance is precise, whose lives radiate the fragrance of devotion. But admiration becomes dangerous when it leads us to believe that those who do not resemble an esrog are somehow dispensable.
They are not.
The arava has its own essential place in the service of the Ribbono Shel Olam. His throne rests upon the seventh heaven — arava. Remove the arava from the arba minim, and the mitzvah is incomplete.
It is easy to build community with those who look like us; it is far harder to recognize the holiness of those who do not.
The threats to the Jewish people do not come only from outside — they also arise from within. The moment one group of Jews begins to believe that another group is unnecessary, we endanger something fundamental about our nation.
The arba minim fulfill their purpose only when they are held together. So too with the Jewish people.
Sukkos teaches that participation need not create isolation, and religious conviction need not diminish those who are different from us. We need the esrog — with its Torah, its fragrance, and its beauty — but we also need the arava, because a thousand esrogim cannot replace even one arava.

First Charedie Lady on a Political Ticket, On the New Charedei Party, Explains why she is running
The percentage of ultra-Orthodox women diagnosed with breast cancer at a stage where their lives can no longer be saved is five times higher than that of non-ultra-Orthodox women.
This is a painful, sad, and bitter truth.
Despite these harsh statistics, there has never been an ultra-Orthodox MK who has taken action on this issue. Dozens of committees and discussions in the Knesset, but it didn't touch them.
This is my mission. This is what I will do.

The Chardeie Yeted Ne'eman Lies again ....
In case you come across this article in "Yated Ne’eman" that tries to argue that it’s not worth it for the state to draft Haredim, pay attention to the trick:
The author calculates how much it costs the IDF to maintain a married Haredi soldier, discovers that he’s more expensive than a regular soldier, and arrives at the astonishing conclusion that maybe it’s actually worth it for the state to leave the Haredim in yeshiva.
Just one small thing is missing from the calculation:
what happens when there’s no Haredi soldier?
Someone else has to serve in his place.
According to data presented in the Knesset, every additional 1,000 Haredi combatants can save the need for about 6,000 reservists over the course of the year. And the chief economist at the Treasury estimated a month of reserves at about 48,000 shekels in cost to the economy and an additional month of a regular soldier at about 27,000 shekels.
In fact, according to the Treasury’s calculation, drafting about 10,000 Haredim instead of extending service for others could save the economy about 6.7 billion shekels over three years of service.
And this is even before factoring in the possible impact of service on Haredi men entering the workforce and their productivity.
Of course, one can argue that a married Haredi soldier is more expensive for the IDF. That’s true in some cases. But presenting only his cost and completely ignoring the cost of whoever is required to serve in his place is not economics.
It’s simply a very creative way to arrive at the conclusion you already knew you wanted to reach.
In short, kudos for the creativity, and try harder next time.

Attacker who randomly pummeled a 66 Year-old Boro-Park Rav cut loose by judge
The crazed attacker who allegedly pummeled a rabbi in a random attack this week — minutes after he slugged another stranger pumping gas — was cut loose by a judge in both cases, prosecutors said Friday.
Eric Avrutov, 31, allegedly pummeled the 66-year-old Jewish leader and placed him in a headlock on Dahill Road near Cortelyou Road in Kensington around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday — breaking the victim’s shoulder and leaving him petrified, according to a criminal complaint and a member of his congregation.
But Avrutov was granted supervised release by Judge Edward Daniels — over prosecutors’ request that he be held on $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office said.
The attack was considered an unprovoked assault on a stranger — not motivated by hate, according to cops — but it was enough to rattle the rabbi before his community began the celebration of Sukkot.
“More than the physical injuries, he is struggling with the emotional trauma of the incident,” Avrumi Herbst, a member of the rabbi’s synagogue and a close personal confidant, said in an email. “This morning, he was further distressed when the DA’s office notified him that the suspect was released again.”
“I feel it is important to point out that the Rabbi is very resilient and accepts everything that has befallen him as the will of G-d, and he plans to officiate normally during the upcoming holiday, albeit with the physical limitations imposed on him by his shoulder injury,” Herbst added.
“Nevertheless he is concerned for his personal safety and the safety of his neighbors and the casual release of the perpetrator just added to that.”
Just minutes before the attack on the rabbi, Avrutov allegedly slugged another man, 60, on the side of the face as he pumped gas at the Shell station around the corner on Cortelyou Road, police said.
In that case, prosecutors asked for the same bail amount, but Judge Daniels again cut Avrutov loose on supervision.
The reasoning behind the judge’s decisions in both cases was not immediately clear.
Before the back-to-back Wednesday attacks, Avrutov had five previous arrests, police said.
He last found himself in cuffs when he allegedly punched a 23-year-old man and 22-year-old woman in the face at random at Brighton 12th Street and Brighton Beach Avenue around 11:30 a.m. Monday, police said.
But Judge Duane Frankson had no choice but to grant him supervised release because the top charge against him – misdemeanor assault – was not eligible for bail, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
Avrutov was also arrested on Sunday for allegedly showing up at his grandmother’s Brooklyn home in violation of an order of protection back in June, and charged with criminal contempt, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors asked that he be held on $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond, but Frankson again cut him loose on supervision, according to the DA’s office.
Avrutov’s record also includes a gun possession rap from 2024, one criminal trespass arrest and another bust for violating an order of protection, police said.
Ponovitz Bnei-Teirah Beat the Living Daylights out of Rav Fivelson, Rav Hirsch, Rav Berman and Rav Dovid Miller had to come out to condemn the violence!
זו תורה וזו שכרה
They already know how to fight, so why not draft them so they can at least fight Arabs instead of Roshei Yeshiva?
Senior Roshei Yeshiva of Ponavezh have issued strongly worded letters supporting HaGaon HaRav Avrohom Moshe Fivelson, following an earlier letter from HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch protesting the treatment of Rav Fivelson.
HaGaon HaRav Chaim Peretz Berman and HaGaon HaRav Dovid Miller each issued letters condemning what they described as violence, brazenness and bizayon haTorah directed against Rav Fivelson.
Rav Berman wrote of the pain over those who had “mocked you with violence and brazenness and degradation of the Torah,” while expressing support for Rav Fivelson amid the controversy.
Rav Miller issued an equally sharp warning against allowing physical intimidation to become an accepted means of settling disagreements within the Olam HaTorah, writing that a dangerous attitude was taking root of attempting to persuade others “with a wicked fist” and thereby silence the “Kol Yaakov.”
The letters come after Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, one of the senior leaders of the Lithuanian Torah world, issued his own public protest over the events surrounding Rav Fivelson.
The intervention of the Ponavezh Roshei Yeshiva adds significant weight to the growing protest within the Olam HaTorah, with the letters emphasizing that disagreements — regardless of their intensity — cannot justify violence, intimidation or degradation of talmidei chachamim.

Moshe Indig the Satmar "Moral Coward" Condemns Netanyahu's Speech in the UN Says "Eichmann"is a friend and ally to our community
"Inding" claims that this is the Satmar official position, a position that echoes Hamas rhetoric vis‑à‑vis the elected leader of millions of Jews!
"Inding's" rebbe that he claims he speaks for, was not elected but has this position merely because of an accident at birth!
And repeats an outrageous lie that there are "hundreds of innocent yeshiva students arrested each week"
There are absolutely zero Yeshiva Students in jail as of this typing, and at most there may be three arrested in a month total, and they are not "innocent" they are violating the law that states those of age have to register for the draft!
He should take his chicken soup and shove it where the sun will never ever shine

Sohlberg blocks Satmar from distributing $$ in Israel
Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg on Friday morning issued a temporary injunction against the “Shekel HaTahor" nonprofit organization, which is affiliated with the Satmar Hasidic movement. The injunction prohibits the organization from giving voters money in order to influence them not to vote, or from offering or promising them such payments.
The Committee Chairman’s decision follows expedited proceedings that began when the Movement for Quality Government filed a petition alleging that the organization had begun providing $200 “support payments" to members of the Hasidic community who declare that they will not vote in the elections.
The movement argued that this constitutes a violation of the prohibition against offering bribes in exchange for refraining from voting, and demanded the immediate intervention of the court and the Committee Chairman to halt the distribution of the grants.
After reviewing the materials submitted to him, the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee found that, according to the evidence attached to the petition, there was serious concern that the law was being violated in a manner that goes to the heart of election law.
In light of the seriousness of the findings and the immediate harm to the integrity of the electoral process and proper democratic procedure, the Committee Chairman acted without delay to prevent the continued distribution of the funds.
The injunction will remain in effect until further notice, while law enforcement authorities will continue examining the organization’s financial activities and suspicions of criminal offenses.
