Shavuot at Bergen-Belsen, 19 May 1945. Just 34 days after liberation
@jewishreels Shavuot at Bergen-Belsen, 19 May 1945. Just 34 days after liberation, survivors gathered in the open air to mark the giving of the Torah. Most of them were women, and there were children standing right at the front. Three Army chaplains led the service in tallitot worn over their uniforms. Rabbi Leslie Hardman was a British Army chaplain, Rabbi B. Goldfinger was a Polish rabbi serving with the French Army, and Rabbi Hermann Helfgott, later known as Zvi Asaria, was a Yugoslav Army chaplain who had spent four years as a prisoner of war. They held up a Torah curtain the Nazis had stolen from a Sicilian Jewish community, with green branches set in front of it for the holiday. Then Rabbi Helfgott lifted the Torah high for everyone to see. Rabbi Hardman later remembered survivors pleading with him: “Tell the world, tell the world. They must know what happened.” Film: Imperial War Museums, A70 337-3 More Jewish history at jewishreels.com (link in bio) #Shavuot #BergenBelsen #Holocaust #HolocaustRemembrance #jewishhistory ♬ origineel geluid - The Maestro & T.E.P.O

New Charedie Party "Zach" Asks Why isn't there ONE SINGLE Charedie MK Condemning Charedie Violence!
"There isn't a single protest by Charedim that hasn't resulted in serious casualties that required hospitalizing, and yet not one serious Charedi MK or Torah Leader said one word to stop these atrocities against innocent Israeli citizens which goes against every precept in the Torah"

Beit Shemesh Charedim throw stones at Karlin Rebbe's vehicle
An unusual and serious incident occurred Sunday evening in Beit Shemesh when the Karlin-Stolin Rebbe was attacked by an extremist group as he left a wedding celebration in the city.
According to eyewitness accounts, members of the group gathered near the venue, threw stones and other objects at the Rebbe's vehicle, and shouted insults at him. The Rebbe's escorts managed to get him into the vehicle and safely remove him from the scene without injury.
The incident follows a series of previous acts of harassment by extremist elements against the Rebbe, including in the area of Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood. Despite the repeated incidents, the Rebbe is known to consistently instruct his followers not to retaliate against the attacks.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the haredi community, with religious leaders and public figures unequivocally distancing themselves from the rioters' actions.
MK Meir Porush spoke with Jerusalem District Police Commander Maj. Gen. Avshalom (Avshi) Peled following the incident, demanding that he take a firm approach and act immediately to arrest those involved in the attack.
MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam party, strongly condemned the incident, quoting the Sages' teaching that "Jerusalem was destroyed only because Torah scholars were treated with contempt there."
He called on the Israel Police to act decisively to bring the attackers to justice.
Arrests for attack on reporter are baseless
The Honenu legal aid organization is sharply criticizing the arrest of 10 young men in an investigation into reported attacks on a French diplomat and an American journalist in the Binyamin region, arguing that investigators have not presented evidence linking the suspects to the alleged incidents.
At the conclusion of court hearings on Monday evening, seven of the suspects were ordered to remain in custody for an additional two days, while three others were released to house arrest. Attorneys Daniel Shimshilashvili and Asaf Gonen, who represent the suspects, are expected to file an appeal this morning against the decision to extend the detention of the seven men.
The attorneys claim the arrests were carried out indiscriminately against young men who happened to be in the area when the incidents occurred, without individual evidence demonstrating their involvement in the alleged assaults.
“After reviewing the police's claims in court, we can say clearly: These are baseless arrests. Serious accusations require evidence and proof, and those are absent from this case. Ultimately, this appears to be another part of a campaign of defamation and persecution, involving mass arrests that have nothing to do with fair legal proceedings," the attorneys said.
Regarding Saturday's incident involving the French diplomat, they claimed that the investigation materials presented to them indicated that he had not been injured. They also said he had not filed a complaint about the incident. Concerning the alleged assault on the American journalist on Friday, the attorneys maintained that there was no evidence linking any of their clients to an attack.
The attorneys also raised questions about the American journalist's conduct at the scene. They claimed that investigation materials included footage showing her spending an extended period alongside masked Arab individuals who, according to the attorneys, were armed with slingshots and stones. They questioned why she had remained with the group. These allegations were made by the defense attorneys and have not been established as findings in the legal proceedings. The attorneys further alleged that the arrests were intended to address external pressure rather than being justified by evidence warranting the suspects' continued detention.
Honenu also highlighted the case of one detainee who, according to the organization, serves as a medic and arrived at the scene in that capacity to help the injured. The organization claimed that he provided an alibi supported by messages and real-time updates documenting his activities, but was nevertheless arrested and had his detention extended.
Satmar continue their nauseating Tuchis-Lekking Shiksas Display and now train their Children to lekk tuchis!
Watch grown Satmar men who normally separate the genders even on their streets walk and laugh with a shiksa that is controlled by a vicious hater of the only Jewish State the Satmar Mayor Mamzarani!
Watch and throw up at this disgusting display of pander and hypocrisy to a shiksa running on the democrat ticket for governor! Watch the Satmar Shvantz open his arms as if to hug her! What would happen if he made that gesture to a frum lady? They would never allow a Jewish lady to walk in midst of so many men .
Dumb Macron says about the rioters "I hear what they are saying"
Philosopher and author Maarten Boudry posted a powerful monologue on X about the riots in Europe:
“Before long, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. Soon, we will all know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already know.
This will be the punishment we deserve for abandoning the Jews, ignoring their warnings, turning against them, and even marching alongside their oppressors.”
“For three years, you useful idiots have marched with Palestinian flags, worn keffiyehs, screamed ‘From the river to the sea,’ and recognized a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (yes, I’m looking at you, Emmanuel Macron).
You boycotted the world’s only Jewish state, demonized the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (known as ‘Zionism’), and spread the blood libel of ‘genocide in Gaza.’”
“Did you think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satisfied? All you did was strengthen the monster and whet its appetite even more.” “So you were worried about ‘colonialism’? Look around. The only things suffering from colonialism here are our Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a flag of victory, proudly flown among the ruins of historic buildings that have been looted and vandalized, a symbol of hatred toward our culture and everything it represents. It never ends with the Jews...” @ sinaiproject @mboudry

Huckabee’s embrace of the ‘settler violence’ myth is dangerous
U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s recent meeting with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot raises troubling questions about Washington’s approach to Judea and Samaria.
The two reportedly discussed the contentious issue of “settler violence,” a narrative that, in my view, is being used to undermine Jewish communities throughout our biblical heartland.
For a conservative, G-d fearing ambassador whose longstanding support for Israel once inspired such confidence among Jewish nationalists, Huckabee’s willingness to give prominence to this deeply distorted narrative represents a profound disappointment.
The issue is not whether genuine acts of violence should be condemned, but whether those crimes are being used to justify a broader political campaign against Jewish settlement. That concern becomes especially significant when Huckabee discusses the issue with Eisenkot, whose political and security doctrines stand in sharp contrast to the principles the ambassador has traditionally championed.
The dangerous settler violence narrative
By adopting terminology widely employed by anti-settlement organizations, the U.S. Embassy risks lending American diplomatic credibility to a campaign that portrays Jewish communities as aggressors rather than as citizens facing persistent security threats.
More than half a million Jews live in Judea and Samaria, many in communities that have endured years of Palestinian shootings, rock attacks, firebombings, and attempted infiltrations.
Yet the international discussion increasingly focuses on incidents involving Jewish residents, while the organized campaign of Palestinian terrorism and incitement receives nowhere near the same attention.
Huckabee has condemned violent settlers as terrorists, while making clear that those responsible should not be confused with the broader Jewish population. But why has the ambassador made these incidents such a prominent diplomatic concern when Palestinian terrorist organizations continue their campaign against Jewish civilians and IDF soldiers?
The distinction between individual criminal acts and organized terrorism is fundamental, particularly when allegations against Jewish residents are used to advance demands for territorial concessions and restrictions on settlement.
The evidence Huckabee should examine
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of Huckabee’s approach is his apparent failure to give sufficient consideration to the research published by Regavim, the Israeli organization that has challenged the international narrative surrounding settler violence.
In its report, “False Flags and Real Agendas,” Regavim examined thousands of incidents recorded in United Nations data and questioned the methodology used to classify them as settler-related violence.
The organization argues that the figures include incidents involving Israeli security operations, Palestinians injured while carrying out alleged attacks, and other confrontations that cannot automatically be equated with unprovoked criminal violence by Jewish residents.
Trump delayed Netanyahu endorsement until polls showed victory
By Vered Weiss, World Israel News
President Donald Trump delayed endorsing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming elections until he received favorable polling indicating Netanyahu was likely to win, Maariv reported.
Political sources familiar with contacts between the two sides said Trump had hesitated to publicly back Netanyahu because of his previous experience endorsing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who subsequently lost an election.
According to the sources, Trump did not want to take a similar risk with another candidate before receiving indications that a victory was likely.
Netanyahu and Trump’s teams coordinated the timing of the endorsement more closely than was apparent publicly, Maariv reported.
Netanyahu had planned for Trump’s social media post to coincide with a briefing for journalists on his security doctrine.
The post was released under embargo, allowing reporters to leave the briefing with Netanyahu’s security positions accompanied by a public endorsement from the U.S. president.
Likud officials said Trump’s eventual announcement was not unexpected and that they had never doubted he would support Netanyahu ahead of the elections. Instead, they said, the uncertainty centered on when Trump would make his position public.
“The very fact that Trump had refrained until now from explicitly expressing support for Netanyahu increased the media impact of the announcement,” party officials said.
Another Likud official said Trump’s previous silence had helped magnify the significance of the endorsement when it came.
“Those who concluded from Trump’s silence that he did not intend to support Netanyahu created expectations that proved unfounded, turning an expected endorsement into a major news event,” the official said.
Political sources familiar with the contacts, however, said Trump’s delay was not simply a matter of timing. They said his experience with Orbán had made him reluctant to publicly support another candidate without first receiving polling that gave him confidence in the likelihood of a victory.

Israel's Young Charedim turning Against Their Leaders
"אהוב את המלאכה"
(Pirkei Avot 1:10)
כָּל הַמֵּשִׂים עַל לִבּוֹ שֶׁיַּעֲסֹק בַּתּוֹרָה וְלֹא יַעֲשֶׂה מְלָאכָה וְיִתְפַּרְנֵס מִן הַצְּדָקָה הֲרֵי זֶה חִלֵּל אֶת הַשֵּׁם וּבִזָּה אֶת הַתּוֹרָה וְכִבָּה מֵאוֹר הַדָּת וְגָרַם רָעָה לְעַצְמוֹ וְנָטַל חַיָּיו מִן הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא
Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Talmud Torah 3:10.
Watch Nauseating Clip of Chassidishe "Shventz" Licking the Tuchis of "La Tushy" James Endorsing her over Republican
How low have they sunk?
Republican attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy has narrowed the gap with Democratic incumbent Letitia James to 6 percentage points following their Oct. 8 debate, according to an internal Republican campaign poll obtained by the New York Post.
The survey, conducted Oct. 12-14 by OnMessage Inc. among 1,000 likely voters, found James leading Komatireddy 50.7% to 44.7%, with about 4% undecided. The poll has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Among voters who watched the debate, Komatireddy led 81% to 19%, while James led 59% to 36% among those who did not watch it. About one in five respondents said they watched the debate, according to the survey.
Charedim finally have a new alternative "The New Charedie Party"
DIN: Charedim have a great game going and the public finally caught on and are sick and tired of it and looking for a fresh new direction.
Their exposed "game plan" is to establish a political party, and place a "gadol" as its leader and call him the "spiritual head" that supposedly gives them "spiritual guidance "
For example, Rav Landau is the "spiritual head" of Degel, Rav Yosef is the "spiritual head" of Shas, the Gerer and Belzer Rebbes are the "spiritual heads" of the Aguda.
They do this so that if someone should, G-D forbid criticize them they immediately bark "You are being mevazah Kovod Ha'Torah" You are messing with the "Gedoilei Ha'dor" "you are going to gehenim" putting the critics in an impossible situation and thereby blocking all opposition!
When my good friend and neighbor Motty Leitner, the present deputy mayor of Beit Shemesh established his new party appropriately called "HaTzibur Ha"Charedie," Charedeim absurdly started asking him "And which "gadol" is backing you?"
When he did finally produce "gedoilim," that was not good enough for the Chardeie hypocrites and they started yelling & screaming, "Well they're not really gedoilim"
To them a "gadol" is someone a week away from a nursing home who is clueless and disconnected and talks and babbles "narishkeitin" and can be manipulated!
For example: They all say "it's a mitzva to vote" yet they don't recognize the State of Israel and will sit in a Knesset that is according to them a home for "Meeinim, apikorsim and rashaim"
This would be laughable if it weren't so tragic!
At the end of the day I don't know how many seats if any he will get but what is certain that he is here to stay and will be a powerful voice in the Charedei community, who are fed up with their fake, phony disconnected hypocritical Teira Leaders!
Motty Leitner
"The question is not whether we will pass the threshold
The question is how many seats will we have.
And if so, it's not a voice that is wasted
A voice for Judaism the Torah and Shas is a wasted vote . that is a voice for more of the same.
A voice that will preserve an old school system.
A voice that will strengthen the value of jobs for associates and family members.
A voice that allows them to continue and humiliate us.
And this is also a voice that damages the future of the ultra-orthodox society and the future of the state.
This time we take responsibility,
Moti Leitner, chairman of the Haredi Public Party, speaking about Aryeh Deri.
"They are afraid.
I would be happy to sit down, look Aryeh Deri in the eyes, and say to him: Tell me, aren't you ashamed? In the last four years you haven't done a thing. They are working to obstruct Haredim who want to take responsibility. He does not dare make leadership decisions that are good for the country.
This time, we take responsibility. Vote Zach at the ballot box."
