Yitzchok Frankfurter, editor of Ami Magazine, attacks author Dr. Michael Salamon, without reading the book!

Yitzchok Frankfurter, editor of the Ami Magazine attacked Dr. Michael Salamon, PHD about his research of  child abuse within the Frum Community without actually reading his book "Abuse in the Jewish Community."

Dr. Michael Salamon

On the Zev Brenner Program this past Saturday Night, Frankfurter was upset that Dr. Salamon singled out the "Chareidishe Community" viz a viz the coverup of child sexual abuse in his latest book. He also stated that Dr. Salamon (an orthodox Jew) is not from his community and therefore he had no right writing about a community that he was not part of. If the "unprepared"Frankfurter would have bothered reading even the first chapter he would have seen that Dr. Salaman included all the Jewish Communities, but Frankfurter didn't want to be confused by the facts.  Frankfurter also compared the "Black and Chinese" Communities to the Frum Community, (that stood at Har Sinai,) and wondered out loud why Dr. Salamon is focusing only on the frum community.
So, here we have an editor of a popular magazine advocating continued  cover up of child sexual abuse by Rabbis. Towards the end of the program Frankfurter tried to backtrack and said that he is all for reporting child abuse, but then continued to attack Dr. Salamon and was very unconvincing. Frankfurter kept saying throughout the entire interview that we are "all mandated reporters," but he was referring to reporting the abuse to the clueless Rabbis first, that will and have swept these stories under the rug. The fact is that most Rabbonim are for covering up these crimes.
Mark Meyer Appel from the Voice of Justice, called in to the program and chastised Pinny Taub, a victim himself, for telling the victims not to accept funds from programs that advocate for victims. Pinny Taub after getting help from bloggers, who put him on the map, and stood by him at all times, turned on them and threw them all under the bus.
One caller kept asking Frankfurter why he keeps misrepresenting the ruling of Harav Eliyashav Shiltah, that clearly states that one must immediately report Child Abuse to authorities. Frankfurter, without naming any Rabbis, answered that he follows other "poskim" that would rather sweap it under the rug. 
A caller named Esther took Frankfurter to task and remarked that "G-D is crying" listening to Frankfurter comparing the non-reporting of abuse in Penn State to the non-reporting of Yeshivas and Rabbis, implying that we are all the same, Esther asked "aren't we supposed to answer to a higher authority?"

Interview with missing Florida mom's family, Video

Lady disappears hours after appearing on the "People's Court" saying her boyfriend was violent, Video

Hours after Michelle Parker aired her violent, tumultuous relationship with her ex-fiance on a dramatic episode of 'The People's Court,' she captured national attention again. This time, it's because the 33-year-old mother of three had disappeared from her Orlando, Florida, home without a trace.

Ms Parker and Dale Smith fought it out over a $5,000 engagement ring on the popular courtroom reality show. Mr Smith sued his former fiance and claimed she lost the ring when she threw it at him in a fight at a Hilton Hotel during a science fiction convention.

Police said Ms Parker has a 'violent' history with Mr Smith, though he is not named as a suspect. In the 'People's Court' episode, Ms Parker described being grabbed by Mr Smith and having to call police after a fight.

Ms Parker's family reported her missing Thursday night when she didn't show up for work at 8 p.m. at The Barn restaurant, where she is a bartender.
She was last seen by friends at 2 p.m. Thursday, not long after her episode of 'The People's Court' aired on TV.

Ms Parker is 5-foot-6 with short, dark brown hair. Her black Humvee was also

reported reported missing, though investigators found it empty.
Perhaps most mysteriously, she sent a text message to her brother about 4:30 p.m. saying she was in the Waterford Lakes area of Orlando. But when investigators tracked her cell phone, they found she was never near there.
'They searched the towers, that was a decoy,' Ms Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart said.
Ms Parker is the mother of an 11-year-old son and two 3-year-old twins, who she had with Mr Smith.
The couple went through a custody battle over the children in 2009, according to court documents.

Ms Parker accused her ex-boyfriend of domestic violence that same year, saying he hurled profanities at her while holding one of the couple's twins. He also threw their child car seats and broke the window out of her car, she alleged.

Despite the link to a volatile lover, family members told the Orlando Sentinel they don't think Mr. Smith was involved and that he is working with police.
'He's been completely cooperative,' Ms Erickson said.
Rather, it seems likely she was carjacked, they said.
'There's no one focus. There's no tunnel vision. All information is welcome,' Ms Erickson said.

Crazy Europeans will jail companies that claim "water hydrates"

“The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true."

EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.

Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.

Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large.

“The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.

“If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”

NHS health guidelines state clearly that drinking water helps avoid dehydration, and that Britons should drink at least 1.2 litres per day.

The Department for Health disputed the wisdom of the new law. A spokesman said: “Of course water hydrates. While we support the EU in preventing false claims about products, we need to exercise common sense as far as possible."

Released Terrorist in "Shalit deal" arrested again for acts of terror

A terrorist released in the Shalit deal is reportedly hospitalized and under IDF guard. 

According to the family of a Jewish man hospitalized at Hadassah in Jerusalem, he has recently had to share his room with a terrorist who was apparently shot in the course of IDF counter-terror activity. The terrorist is under constant police and IDF guard.

The relatives told Arutz Sheva that they have been told that the terrorist was freed in the recent Shalit deal, and was recaptured after engaging in terror activity against Israel. This claim is currently uncorroborated.

The family members claim that the Arab man often behaves in a rowdy fashion and shouts in Arabic. They want him removed from the room.

The Jewish man was brought to the room for recovery from an operation for intestinalcancer. A few days later, the terrorist was wheeled in and he has had to suffer his presence ever since. 

The Jewish man's grandson said: "I think it is madness to hold this terrorist in the same room as my grandfather. This is a terrorist with the blood of Jews on his hands – the family is having a hard time dealing with the presence of this thing in our room. I don’t understand – where is the hospital's sensitivity?"

Arutz Sheva has not yet received a response from Hadassah Hospital.
Report from Arutz Sheva

The Sefer Yalkut Shimoni predicts that the Messiah is very very close!

Jews familiar with the ancient Yalkut Shimoni notice recent tensions between Iran, Saudi Arabia match prophecy regarding the Messiah.

Jews familiar with an ancient compilation of Aggadic exegesis called Yalkut Shimoni noticed in recent weeks that current tension between Iran and Saudi Arabiamatches a prophecy it contains regarding the year in which the Messiah – the King who redeems Israel and the world – is to appear.
 

In particular, the recently revealed Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the U.S. and subsequent reports that the Arab nations are pressuring the West to attack Iran, appear to fit the sequence of events predicted in the Yalkut Shimoni.

In to the part of the book dealing with the Book of Isaiah, the following passage appears:

"Rabbi Yitzchak said: 'In the year in which the Messiah-King appears, all the nations of the world are provoking each other. The King of Persia provokes an Arab king and the Arab king turns to Aram for advice. And the King of Persia goes back and destroys the entire world. And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth, and Israel are in panic and distress and asking 'where shall we go? Where shall we go?,' and He says to them 'my sons, do not fear; all that I have done, I have done only for you. Why are you afraid? Do not fear, your time of redemption has come, and the final redemption is not like the first redemption, because the first redemption was followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms, but the final redemption is not followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms."

Persia is currently known as Iran, and an Arab king – or the Arab king – can be reasonably understood, in modern eyes, as referring to the king of [Saudi] Arabia, the Arab homeland.

This passage is relatively well-known and oft-quoted, and some modern versions of it substitute "Edom" for "Aram." Ancient Jewish references to "Edom" are nowadays generally seen as referring to Europe or the West. "Aram" refers to a part of ancient Mesopotamia, roughly congruent to the northern part of modern Iraq and eastern Syria. The instability in precisely this area is reportedly what most concerns the Saudis, as a U.S. pullout from Iraq looms and Syria's pro-Iranian regime teeters.

The prophecy bodes ill for much of the world, which, if Rabbi Yitzchak's quote is to be taken literally, is to be destroyed by Iran before the Messiah steps in.

The identity of the compiler of Yalkut Shimoni is not known with certainty but a copy of it is known to have existed 700 years ago, in 1310 CE. The works it quotes are even older, and go back to early Talmudic times.

Tendler loses against bloggers again

Tendler won't learn, he wants to be in the news all the time.... his lawsuit  to find out the identity of bloggers has been sent to the garbage heap... he tried to keep the illusion that he is innocent, so he kept suing the bloggers to give the impression that the bloggers fabricated that he had illicit relationships with members of his shul...
but fooled nobody... his 500 plus page motion has been sent to the recycle bin of history...
Judge Victor Alfieri saw thru Tricky Tendler's tricks and threw the whole thing out...
He also  lost the case, Index no:2284-2006,  against Abraham Kiss, he was asking the court to allow Abraham Kiss to be deposed, trying to tie Abraham Kiss with KNH and believed that the deposition would somehow prove that KNH and Abraham Kiss were in collusion to get him fired. Truth is that Abraham Kiss was never a member of KNH and never had any relationship with the KNH Board or any of its members. It was only after KNH threw him out that Abraham Kiss got to know some of the people praying at KNH. The Judge denied his motion and threw that case in the heap of garbage as well.. 
If he wants to know why he was fired he should glance in the mirror..

Police release Video of Killer of Jewish Lady

This video, released today by cops, shows the mystery murderer of Brooklyn accountant Larisa Komsky lying in wait for her just before he launched a brutal stabbing attack.

The suspect is seen getting out of his SUV, walking around to the passenger side and picking up something on the ground — just as Larisa Komsky, 50, drives up to in her white Mercedes convertible.

After she pulled into a parking space outside her apartment building on Homecrest Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, neighbors heard a terrified Komsky ask, “What are you doing here?’’

Then she let loose with blood-curdling screams.

Cops have showed the tape to at least two people who knew her well, her rabbi and a co-worker, but neither could identify the suspect.

The rabbi, Kalev Krelin, said, “she was always in touch with me about her private issues. Some clients wanted to come to her but she didn’t want to be stealing other people’s clients. “She was a very honest person.”

Her distraught son, Vadim Komsky, 37, said, “my mother did not have any enemies. She would have told me if she had any troubles.

“Mt mother was an amazing woman. There’s not enough good things I can say about her. “The synagogue meant the world to her.’’

The family moved to Brooklyn from the Ukraine 20 years ago and no-one could speak English.

He said she studied hard and eventually “got an MBA from Baruch. She was a straight A student.’’

Jewish Lady 50, murdered in Brooklyn, Video

The hunt for a killer is on in Brooklyn after police said a woman was stabbed to death just steps away from her home.

Larisa Komsky, 50, was killed while walking home after parking her car on Homecrest Avenue before 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Komsky was stabbed twice in the leg and once in the hand, police said. She was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.

Witnesses told police they saw a green mini-van fleeing from the scene.

Shocked neighbors described Komsky as a friendly woman, who went to shul regularly at a synagogue on her block.

Komsky, an accountant, ran her own business in Sheepshead Bay, a couple of miles from her home.

“It’s unbelievable,” Boris Feldman, who owns a business in the same building as Komsky, said. “Very terrible news for us. She’s a beautiful person. The nicest person I know of.”

Detectives removed a box of files from Komsky’s office Tuesday.

At first detectives thought Komsky was killed by someone she had a relationship with but Guzman reports video has ruled that out.

A motive for the murder remains unknown.

The investigation is ongoing.

New York Republican State Committee Chairman Ed Cox has just informed Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) that an anonymous donor has offered an additional $25,000 to the existing reward money being offered in connection with last Friday’s arson and hate crime on Ocean Parkway which saw several vehicles torched and burned in the Midwood section of Brooklyn.

“I am so grateful to the NYPD who have been working around the clock to solve this hate crime,” remarked Hikind. “They have spared no effort in attempting to put the community at ease by finding the perpetrator(s) responsible for this heinous crime and bringing them to justice. I am also incredibly thankful to Mr. Cox and his donor for their support. I am hopeful we will have a break in the case soon.”
