Yerushalmi "tzaddik" Charged in $200,000 Light Rail Arson; Suspenders Led Police to Him

 

A 22-year-old Yerushalayim resident has been indicted for allegedly setting fire to equipment at the Yerushalayim light rail construction site on Rechov Bar-Ilan, causing an estimated 700,000 shekels (approximately $200,000) in damage. According to reports, investigators identified the suspect in part because of the distinctive suspenders he was wearing.

Prosecutors allege that the incident occurred late at night about a month ago, when the suspect allegedly set fire to large pipes stored at the construction site. The blaze caused extensive damage to the project, with losses estimated at roughly 700,000 shekels.

According to i24NEWS reporter Shlomi Heller, investigators were able to identify the suspect based on several unique articles of clothing, including the suspenders he was wearing. Police also reportedly relied on the testimony of a passerby who said the suspect had asked him for a lighter just minutes before the fire was ignited.

In a separate but related development, Yerushalayim police and firefighters were called Tuesday to the Banks Junction area of the city after reports of explosions and a fire near another light rail construction site.

Emergency crews discovered that electrical cables at the construction site had been set ablaze, causing a widespread power outage that affected nearby homes and businesses.

Firefighters succeeded in extinguishing the blaze, while police launched an investigation and began searching for those responsible.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is no longer inside Iran. Is he in Israel??

 

BREAKING: An Israeli security source told Saudi news outlet Al-Hadath that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is no longer inside Iran.

The source further claimed that recent statements released in Khamenei’s name are allegedly being drafted and issued by IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi and his associates rather than by Khamenei himself.

Sarah , Malaysian Muslim Woman Removes her Hijab To Discuss her Accusations Against ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan

 

"Are you a Mossad agent?"

Sarah, a Malaysian Muslim woman, sat down with CNN to discuss her accusations against the ICC chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

Showing her face for the first time, she details the heartbreaking allegations. During the interview, she had to dispute claims that she was acting as an agent for Israel. 

"If ever there was even a hint of suspicion that I was a state agent of any kind, I would have been fired."

We have seen so many deny the stories of women who were sexually assaulted on Oct. 7. Now people want to invoke Israel to discredit anyone they can. Truly shameful.

More on the Physical Attack on a Charedie Rosh Yeshivah by Charedeim ..."The Fish Stinks From Its Head

 

Before you read the disturbing article below, it kedai to read Moshe Rabbeinu's warning about today's violent Bnei-Teirah 

Translated from Hebrew!

A respected Torah scholar, a teacher of Torah, sits in his car and cannot get out. Dozens surround him, shake the vehicle, and physically beat his talmidim, and shout at him. 

For long minutes he is trapped — not in a hostile city, not under attack by enemies of religion. It happens in the heart of a Charedie city, at the hands of dozens of yeshiva bochrim.

And this is no isolated incident. 

These are the same Charedie hoodlums that attacked Rabbi David Leibel. Those who thought it would end with attacking Rav Leibel, discovered that since then, Rabbi Uriya Einbal, the Rebbe of Karlin, and now the Roshei Yeshiva Rabbi Feivelson have also been attacked.

 Respected rabbis, scholars, and Torah students are assaulted by bochrim. And between one attack and another come road blockages, spitting at soldiers, and riots that have almost become routine. Once we called them "asavim shoitim" “wild weeds.” 

But a wild weed doesn’t surround a car with hundreds of people.

Unfortunately, for every illness they have ready answers.

It's always someone else's fault!

It's the Attorney General, it's the High Court, it's the media, always being persecuted. 

Every criticism is a decree, every critic is an enemy, and every call for introspection is dismissed with contempt.

 Everything with us is fine ; the problem is always outside. 

So here — an eighteen-year-old boy raises his hand against a Torah scholar in a Chareredi street. 

Who is to blame this time? Did the attorney general, or the high court in Yeushlayim shake the car? This time there’s nowhere to point the finger. This time the responsibility is ours.

Rabbonim concerned that there is an epidemic of Chareidim Spying for Iran

 

Authorities enlisting rabbonim, Chareidi influencers to warn against spying for Iran

Israeli authorities have reached out to rabbonim and Chareidi influencers to send messages to their followers not to spy for Iran, The New York Times reports.

Chareidim have been involved in at least nine cases of spying for Iran, and enlisting influential rabbonim is one of the methods being used by police and prosecutors to turn the tide against the phenomenon, the report says

The report cites one recent video by Rav Yigal Cohen, a member of the Chief Rabbinate, in which he appeals to viewers not to spy for Iran.

“I am begging you, there is no greater blasphemy than seeing a Torah-abiding, observant Jew betray his people,” he says in the video posted to social media.

Israel Cohen, another prominent Chareidi commentator who has broadcast warnings on his platforms, told the Times he “understood the need to warn against the danger and stop it.”

Mendel Unger, a Chareidi journalist, published a video message in Yiddish warning against carrying out activities on behalf of Iran.

The security establishment has struggled to stem the phenomenon of spying for Iran, even during the recent war against Iran.

Most of the alleged spies are Israeli citizens contacted through social media by faceless Iran-linked agents, who promise money to recruits in exchange for their cooperation, though some have been foreign nationals in Israel on visas.

In Parshas Devarim, Moshe Rabbeinu Warns about the Violent Protests by Bnei-Teirah

 

In Parshas Devarim, in the final days of his life, Moshe Rabbeinu gathers Klal Yisrael and begins to recount their journey — not merely as history, but as mussar, as guidance for the future. When he revisits the tragic episode of the Meraglim, he reminds them of the moment it all began:

וַתִּקְרְב֣וּן אֵלַי֮ כֻּלְּכֶם֒ וַתֹּאמְר֗וּ נִשְׁלְחָ֤ה אֲנָשִׁים֙ לְפָנֵ֔ינוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ־לָ֖נוּ אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ

"All of you then approached me and said " Send men ahead of us to explore the land."

Moshe emphasizes a single word: “kulchem” — all of you. Rashi, quoting the Sifri, reveals something remarkable. 

This word is not a detail — it is a diagnosis. It tells us everything about the spiritual state of the people at that moment.

ותקרבון אלי כלכם. בְּעִרְבּוּבְיָא; וּלְהַלָּן הוּא אוֹמֵר (דברים ה') "וַתִּקְרְבוּן אֵלַי כָּל רָאשֵׁי שִׁבְטֵיכֶם וְזִקְנֵיכֶם וַתֹּאמְרוּ הֵן הֶרְאָנוּ וְגוֹ'", אוֹתָהּ קְרִיבָה הָיְתָה הוֹגֶנֶת – יְלָדִים מְכַבְּדִים אֶת הַזְּקֵנִים וּשְׁלָחוּם לִפְנֵיהֶם, וּזְקֵנִים מְכַבְּדִים אֶת הָרָאשִׁים לָלֶכֶת לִפְנֵיהֶם, אֲבָל כָּאן "וַתִּקְרְבוּן אֵלַי כֻּלְּכֶם" בְּעִרְבּוּבְיָא – יְלָדִים דּוֹחֲפִין אֶת הַזְּקֵנִים, וּזְקֵנִים דּוֹחֲפִין אֶת הָרָאשִׁים (ספרי):

“In confusion; but later it says (Deuteronomy 5): ‘And you approached me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders, and you said: Behold, the Lord has shown us…’ —  

that approach was proper: the children honored the elders and sent them forward, and the elders honored the leaders by letting them go before them. But here (Deuteronomy 1): ‘And you all approached me’ — in confusion: the children pushed the elders, and the elders pushed the leaders.” (Sifrei)

There are gatherings that are leshem Shamayim — filled with respect, order, and purpose. Children honor elders, elders honor leaders, and each person knows their place. Such gatherings create clarity, unity, and blessing.

But then there are gatherings of “b’irbuvya” — confusion, pushing, noise, ego. Children shove elders aside, elders push past leaders, and everyone rushes forward without thought or humility. Nothing good can emerge from such chaos.

Moshe is telling them: The failure of the Meraglim didn’t begin with the spies. It began with you — with the way you approached the conversation. A gathering without kavod, without patience, without humility, cannot produce a holy decision.

The Sifri is teaching us a timeless truth: The tone of a gathering determines the destiny of its outcome. When we come together with respect and purpose, we merit siyata d’Shmaya. When we come together in chaos, even the best ideas collapse.

Moshe’s message to the generation entering Eretz Yisrael is Moshe’s message to us: If we want our decisions, our communities, and our future to be blessed — we must begin with kulchem in the right way: united, respectful, and leshem Shamayim.

Vance Failed Miserably in Iran Talks So he Naturally Blames the Jews!

Vance is trying to shift the blame for his failed negotiations onto others, making one false claim after another simply to avoid admitting that the talks with the Islamic Republic failed because of his own naïveté and his lack of understanding of how the ayatollahs’ regime operates.

Because of his misplaced optimism toward the ayatollahs,  Vance gave this terrorist regime a major opportunity to humiliate the United States on the world stage.

Vance also appears to have little understanding of the Iranian people. He seems to view Iranians—who are victims of the regime and are fighting for freedom and democracy—as a threat, while treating the ayatollahs’ regime as a trustworthy negotiating partner.

Vance is a loser in every sense of the word. He fails miserably in talks the Islamic regime (as expected) and instead of owning his failure, he claims that ISRAEL pays to activate a smear campaign against him. 😂

Thank G-d for those hilltop youth

 

by Rochel Sylvetsky

Remember those math lessons years ago about the X-axis (north-south) and Y-axis (east-west) that are perpendicular to one another but intersect at the “origin" - called point (0,0)?

 Well, on a recent day’s trip to three Israeli geographic start-ups, more commonly known as hilltop communities, each hilltop I reached seemed point (0,0) of just such a coordinate system, and from it I looked at what was to the north, south, east and west.

These were hilltops in Gush Etzion, the historic and thriving Etzion Bloc south of Jerusalem. The hiilltops are part of Area C in Judea and Samaria, under complete Israeli governance according to the Oslo Accords, are located about 15-45 minutes south from the more familiar city of Efrata and not far from the city of the Patriarchs, Hevron.

What was the catalyst for the proliferation of these hilltop communities, farms and sheep ranches in Judea and Samaria - a count of a whopping 360 outposts and agricultural farmsas of mid-2026? And what made Israel’s current government, at the initiative of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, whose other position is additional minister within the Ministry of Defense for civil issues, encourage them (except for when it doesn't, see below)?

It began in 2009, when Salaam Fayyad, then Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, told the NY Times:

Popular Singer Eyal Golan takes upon himself to observe Shabbat

 Singer Eyal Golan said that after a Torah class held at his home, he took upon himself not to travel on Shabbat.

According to Golan, the decision was made for the recovery of Rabbi Dov Kook, who is hospitalized at Poriya Hospital in Tiberias following an acute respiratory complication.

Golan called on the public to also take upon themselves a positive commitment for this purpose.

Golan said that his daughter Aline initiated the Torah lesson at their home. He thanked her and said: “This week, my righteous daughter Aline hosted a Torah class here in my home. At the end of the class, I went outside and took upon myself that I would not travel on this Shabbat."

Golan appealed to the public to join the initiative, saying: “For the recovery of Rabbi Kook, I ask each and every one of you: take something upon yourselves, this Shabbat, for the recovery of Rabbi Kook. I took upon myself not to travel."

He concluded his remarks by saying: “Thank you to my righteous daughter Aline, who gave me this merit. Thank you."

The Satmar Endorsed Mayor Mamzarani looking to arrest Netanyhau

The Mamzarani was saying this while running for Mayor but that didn't stop Satmar from officially endorsing him! 

 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Saturday called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" and said he is looking into arresting him during an upcoming visit.

In an interview with The New York Times, published Saturday, Mamdani said, "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court."

Mamdani also said that he is in "active conversation" with NYC's legal officials on whether he may arrest a foreign leader, adding, "Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end."

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said: "Mamdani is failing to govern New York. Instead of focusing on his responsibilities as mayor and confronting the rising wave of antisemitism in his city, he has chosen to incite hostility and generate headlines by attacking the State of Israel."

"It will not change a thing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride, and stand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens.

"And if anyone should be arrested, it is NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

Israeli Consul General in New York Ofir Akunis responded to Mamdani's statements, saying, "The mayor of New York City has no authority to order the arrest of the Prime Minister of Israel. Instead of dealing with matters over which he has no authority, he should start running New York City and only New York City."

This is not the first time Mamdani has made such a statement: In October 2025, before Mamdani was elected, he promised to "exhaust every legal option" to ensure Netanyahu is arrested.

Mamdani has been vehemently anti-Israel for many years. He criticized Israel immediately after the October 7 massacre committed by the Hamas terrorist organization and has claimed that Israel's retaliation against Hamas was "genocide." He has also refused to call for the disarmament of Hamas and to denounce the phrase "globalize the Intifada," a call for violence and murder against civilians, particularly Jews.

Zera Shimshon Parshat Devarim

 

The Yenuka made up his very own Torah, in His Torah Hashem does not Forgive even if someone did Teshuva

 

1. Direct statements that Hashem forgives 

Isaiah 55:7

“Let the wicked abandon his way… and let him return to Hashem, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” This is one of the clearest verses in all of Tanach: return → mercy → forgiveness.

Ezekiel 18:21–22

“If the wicked person turns from all his sins… he shall surely live… none of the transgressions he committed shall be remembered.” Teshuvah erases the past. Hashem does not remember the sins once one repents.

Ezekiel 33:11

“I do not desire the death of the wicked, but that he turn from his way and live.” Hashem’s will is not punishment, but repentance and life.

Joel 2:12–13

“Return to Me with all your heart… for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness.” Teshuvah is met with grace, mercy, and kindness.

⭐ 2. Hashem accepts repentance even after sin

Jonah 3:10

The people of Nineveh repent, and:

“God saw their deeds… and God relented from the evil He had spoken.” A national example of teshuvah → forgiveness.

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people… humble themselves, pray, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear… forgive their sin, and heal their land.” A covenantal promise: repentance brings forgiveness and restoration.

Jeremiah 3:22

“Return, O wayward children; I will heal your backsliding.” Hashem actively heals the sinner who returns.

⭐ 3. Hashem forgives even severe sins

Psalm 32:5

“I said: I will confess my transgressions to Hashem — and You forgave the guilt of my sin.” David describes personal teshuvah and immediate forgiveness.

Psalm 51 (after the sin with Bat‑Sheva)

David’s entire prayer is about repentance, and Hashem accepts it. Key line:

“A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

Micah 7:18–19

“Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity… He will again have compassion… He will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” A poetic, powerful declaration of Hashem’s complete forgiveness.

⭐ 4. Hashem’s nature is to forgive

Exodus 34:6–7 — The 13 Attributes of Mercy

“Hashem… compassionate and gracious… forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin.” This is the foundational Torah statement that Hashem’s essence includes forgiveness.

Nehemiah 9:17

“But You are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful.” A historical reflection on Hashem’s constant forgiveness.

⭐ 5. Hashem accepts repentance even after punishment

Hosea 14:2–5

“Return, O Israel… Take words with you and return… I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely.” Teshuvah leads to healing and renewed love.

Modi'in Illit Chardeim Surrounded car of the Rosh Yeshiva R' Eliyahu Feivelson Screamed "Rotzeach " "Rasha Me"rusha" and Beat Him!

 

This incident of Bnei-Teirah beating up other Bnei-Teirah is no surprise to DIN readers, we have already talked about Charedim hating each other's guts, especially if one of them finally sees the light and starts expressing it. Those Charedie leaders who are appalled at the behavior of these bochrim have only to blame but themselves, the bochrim knew the views of Rav Hagoen Feivelson shlita from their RY, and the bochrim heard the hate from their RYs very own mouths! Charedie Gedoilim that encouraged riots and protests against the medina didn't realize that this will come back bite them!

 Dozens of rioters surrounded the car of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petachei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, cursed him with shouts of "murderer of Neshamois" and beat him. In the absence of a police presence, local residents were forced to extract the rabbi from the menacing crowd

עמודיעין עילית: עשרות פורעים הקיפו את רכבו של ראש ישיבת 'פתחי עולם' הגאון רבי אליהו פייבלזון, גידפו אותו בצעקות "רוצח נשמות" והכו אותו. בהיעדר נוכחות משטרתית, תושבים מקומיים נאלצו לחלץ את הרב בשיניים מתוך ההמון

A routine night on Avnei Nezer Street in Modi'in Illit turned into an arena of severe violence last night (Tuesday), when the shiur of the Rosh Yeshiva of Petchei Olam, Rabbi Eliyahu Feivelson, was interrupted with unprecedented violence. The incident, which began as a peaceful protest, developed within minutes into a mass riot that included incitement and physical violence.

According to testimonies, dozens of young bochrim, apparently from yeshiva centers, gathered around the house where Rabbi Feivelsohn was staying. At the end of the shiur, when the rabbi tried to get out of his car, about 20 of the rioters pounced on him and surrounded the car.

The bochrim started shouting insults, blocked the lane and even damaged the car. The incident deteriorated rapidly when some of the bochrim turned to actual physical violence - Rabbi Feivelson was pushed and beaten on the streets of the city.

Amazingly, while the commotion was at its peak, the police were late arriving at the scene. OSome of the residents of the street, who watched the horror unfold in front of their eyes, decided to take the initiative – they forcibly evacuated the rioting bochrim from the road and helped the vehicle to escape the dangerous siege.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that Rabbi Feivelson has encountered violence from Yeshiva Bochrim . The Rosh Yeshiva, known for its unique positions on issues of faith and outlook, and for its in-depth interpretation of the Rambam's words, has been at the center of public controversy in recent years.

In the past, he had already been subjected to severe threats and harassment, including real threats to his life.

As of now, there has not been an official response from the police or the Modi'in Illit municipality regarding the incident. Rabbi Feivelson did not provide an official response, but people close to him said that he continues his educational activities with dedication despite the threats.

People disgusted with Vance's "Blaming the Jews" for Iran war!

 

⭕️I cannot overstate the sheer disgust I feel for Vance right now. He desperately wants to deflect from the disastrous MOUs that is entirely his responsibility, so what does he do?

Poll: Smotrich siphoning votes from Shas

 

Living in a Chareidie neighborhood in Beit Shemesh, I saw this coming; practically all the people I talk to would never again vote for Shas or Degel, in the last election Beit Shemesh overwhelmingly voted for Ben Gvir. Reasonable frum serious Jews are fed up with Charedie clueless disconnected Teirah leadership! They refuse to live under Taliban supervision. 

A Channel 13 News poll published on Wednesday evening indicates that if elections were held today, Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, would win 22 seats, remaining the largest party in the Knesset.

The "Yashar!" party led by Gadi Eisenkot receives 21 seats - a two-seat drop compared to the previous poll. Naftali Bennett’s "Together" party secures 15 seats, The Democrats led by Yair Golan earn 11, and Yisrael Beytenu under Avigdor Liberman takes 10.

Further down the list are United Torah Judaism with 8 seats, while Shas and Otzma Yehudit receive 7 seats each. Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionist party climbs to 6 seats.

Hadash-Ta'al gets 5 seats, Ra'am holds 4, and the joint slate of reservists led by Yoaz Hendel and Chili Tropper crosses the electoral threshold for the first time with 4 seats. Balad and Benny Gantz's Blue and White fail to clear the threshold.

According to the poll, the opposition bloc - which includes the Hendel-Tropper slate - reaches 61 seats, while the coalition bloc led by Netanyahu stands at just 50 seats.

Trump getting influenced by Arab Leaders who keep telling him that Netanyahu Is the Obstacle to Peace

 

For this reason alone its important that Netanyahu get elected again! 

Israeli outlet Kan News reported Wednesday that an Arab diplomat with knowledge of the matter told the news channel that Arab leaders in recent conversations with President Donald Trump have said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

The diplomat said they have been pressing the issue with the president ahead of Israel’s elections in October, saying they have no confidence in the prime minister and his government. Trump has reportedly been swayed by these conversations, which may be why he has refrained from endorsing Netanyahu outright while still calling him a “strong wartime prime minister.”

Trump and Netanyahu have shared some tense moments during the U.S. negotiations with Iran, including when Israel pushed back against being forced into a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which Trump believed was needed for the talks to proceed. The two, however, downplayed those disagreements and presented a united front publicly.
