Kosher Pork? Three non-Jewish chefs say that organic goose meat tastes exactly like "chazir"

Oink Oink?????

If the dream of tasting pork – that most forbidden of forbidden foods – has always been yours, then dream no longer. And if you thought the idea of a rabbinically approved slice of swine was less likely than a flying pig, then think again.

Because kosher “pork” is coming to a butcher near you – that is to say, organic goose meat reared in Spain, which according to three non-Jewish chefs, tastes exactly like pork.
This culinary and religious revolution was announced by Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger this week at a conference on hospital food at the Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot, where he said that he would be approving the import of the geese.

Metzger noted that although eating pork is forbidden according to Jewish law, there is no prohibition against eating goose, regardless of how it tastes – so it is now okay to completely pig out.

He cited a passage from the Babylonian Talmud tractate of Hulin, which states that for every item the Torah forbids, God created a pure alternative with the same taste.

Metzger’s spokesman Avi Blumenthal stated that imports could begin as soon as the geese reached slaughtering weight, and that the chief rabbi was keen to ensure that the meat received approval from kashrut authorities.

Israeli Police finally arrest Sikrikim leader for violent activities against Jerusalem Bookstore

Yosef Meir Hazan, a member of the Sikrikim (Sicarii) extremist ultra-Orthodox group, was arrested this week in the capital’s Geula neighborhood as part of a special operation by the Jerusalem Police.

According to police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, Hazan was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of causing public disturbances, damaging property and assaulting a police officer attempting to arrest him.
At a Wednesday hearing in the Jerusalem District Court, a police representative requested a six-day extension of Hazan’s remand; however, the court granted an extension until “the end of the week.” He is expected to be released on Friday afternoon.

On Tuesday, a video was posted to YouTube showing Hazan directing various demonstrations and violent activities against the Or Hahayim bookstore in Jerusalem’s Mea She’arim neighborhood and the Batei Varsha complex in Geula, the focus of a violent struggle between the Sikrikim and the neighborhood’s Gur Hassidim.

Hazan’s arrest appears to have been related to these incidents. The footage apparently shows him damaging the door to a store and engaging in violent activity against Batei Varsha.
The clip also shows him dancing at a wedding with a Palestinian flag.

The video was posted with a commentary in subtitles, as well as an explanation stating that the footage showed “the actions of the Sikrik Yosef Meir Hazan, the representative of Shalom Baruch Rost and Avraham Hirschman [two of the leaders of the Sikrikim group] who are imposing terror in the neighborhood against Batei Varsha.”

Satmar Lady bites into frozen money in her Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream

Maybe next time she should stick to Cholov Yisroel Ice Cream!

Mr. Abraham

This pint of ice cream came with cash back.

Sara Abraham purchased two containers of the delectable confection from a Kent Avenue Duane Reade store on Nov. 11, as she has done once a week since the pharmacy opened several months ago.

A Hasidic woman’s Shabbat was spoiled after she bit into a frozen dime buried inside a container of Häagen-Dazs chocolate at her Williamsburg home last Friday.

But by the fifth spoonful, she tasted something “metallic” — and the dime was in her mouth.

“I had a bad taste and I spat it out,” said Abraham. “I felt something in my mouth and the ice cream didn’t have a good taste from the start. Two hours later, I still felt a metallic taste in my mouth.”

Her husband, Orthodox activist Isaac Abraham, called Häagen-Dazs and the Duane Reade at 4 pm, and complained about finding the frozen coin.

A Duane Reade employee said the store pulled its Häagen-Dazs batch from its shelves in response to Abraham’s complaint and gave its order back to the global dessert company, just to be safe,

A Häagen-Dazs employee told Isaac Abraham on Tuesday to send more information about the incident and ship the icy dime to its California-based quality control center.

But for now, he is keeping the change.

“I’m not an idiot — if I send the dime then my story would melt away with the ice cream,” said Abraham, who is speaking with an attorney. “Luckily, she didn’t break a tooth. Who knows where the dime came from or who touched it before it went into the ice cream?”

A Häagen-Dazs representative said that the company “apologizes for her experience,” adding that finding a foreign object in chocolate ice cream is “highly unusual.”

“It is made in one location, then it is pumped and filled [into cartons] before it passes through a metal detector that shoots them off a carrier belt if metal is detected,” said Häagen-Dazs spokeswoman Diane McIntyre. “It detects dime, but nothing is infallible.”

The company, which was founded in the Bronx and opened its first retail store in Brooklyn in 1976, has found shell casings or pebbles, but never coins, inside nut-flavored ice cream.

That’s cold comfort to Sara Abraham, who said she is giving up ice cream indefinitely.

“I don’t want to eat it anymore,” said Abraham.

Obama Pardons the Turkey, Will he pardon Pollard?

Obama has no problem pardoning a Turkey, but will allow Pollard to rot in prison, Very nice, Mr. President.

CNN reporter mocks Bachmann, asking her "Do you regret listening to G-D?"

What an insufferably smug and small human being Carol Costello is proving herself to be. But she fits perfectly with the increasingly insufferable and smug CNN. Yesterday Costello was all about this and today she openly mocks Michele Bachmann’s faith. In the clip below, you can see how proud she is of herself and that she can hardly wait to get back to the CNN break room to brag over it:




CNN is obviously okay with this kind of behavior, which reflects more on them than this vicious mean girl they hired. After all, Costello looks to me like just another dim bulb CNN plucked from the MSNBC chandelier.  This was a deliberate choice CNN management made.

Oh, and both Costello and CNN owe Rep. Bachmann an apology. A big one. But because neither possesses a tenth of the class Bachmann does, it’s a waste of time to even ask for one.

What people like Costello don’t understand is that just because God calls on someone to run for president, that doesn’t mean God always intends for them to become president. In this case, God’s plan could very well be to put Rep. Bachmann in the White House or God’s plan could be to use Bachmann’s run for the White House as a way to reveal the truth to the world about what an awful bigot Carol Costello is.

Or both.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5,6).

Amen to that, brother.

If Costello’s reading this, I bet she’s all creeped out by that Bible junk.

The beating Republican women take at the hands of our media and entertainment class is the most revealing look at intolerance, bigotry, and hatred we’ve seen in years

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.
