Young frum teenager commits suicide in Tallis and Tefillin

הלב כואב וממאן להאמין, לראות דבר כזה, בחור צעיר שנשבר משאיר מכתב מסביר מדוע הוא עושה מה שעשה, וזרק את עצמו כשהוא מעוטר בטלית ותפילין

אני לא כותב שם וגם לא מביא את התמונה המקורית של הבחור, מפני שמדובר בענין אישי בלבד ולא ציבורי. אבל אני מביא את הדיווח מפני שזה מחייב לשים עין על בחורים שבורים, לעיתים עם מילה טובה או עידוד הכי קטן מצילים נפשות

Loosely translated:
It is with an aching heart and hard to believe, to see something like that, a young man broken in spirit and leaving a suicide letter explaining why he  did this , that he had to to throw himself off the banister dressed in  tallit and tefillin

I did show the original picture of the guy, because it is a personal matter and not a public matter . But I am showing this,  because we all should  keep an eye on the boys who are broken in spirit , and perhaps we can give them a kind word or encouragement, it  can save lives.

Turner the admitted sex abuser walks

Moshe Turner, der kranker zucher

A 59-year-old Monsey man was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years probation for sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy, though the judge said the man hedged on taking full responsibility.Moishe Turner told Rockland probation officials that the boy backed his buttocks into him, causing them to have sexual contact, state Supreme Court Justice William Kelly said reading from a pre-sentencing report.Kelly said the comments raised doubts about Turner’s sincerity and he seemed to blame the boy for the sexual acts . The judge noted the probation officer recommended six months in jail for Turner for that reason.Turner seems to have “characterized the victim, a 14-year-old, as sexually aggressive, a wild child,” Kelly said, adding Turner was 

“qualifying” and “hedging” on his January plea.

Turner pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal sex act on Jan. 18, a charge that could have brought seven years in prison. He admitted having anal and oral sex with the boy on seven occasions during July 2011.District Attorney Thomas Zugibe and prosecutor Jennifer Parietti offered the plea agreement sparing Turner from serving jail time when the family didn’t want the boy testifying in open court, though the youngster offered specific details of sexual abuse before the grand jury that indicted Turner on seven counts of criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child.Turner also denied he rented a car for the boy, who was stopped by police for driving without a license. The report stated Turner, a married father of five children, is unemployed, has no prior criminal history and receives food stamps and Section 8 assistance toward his rent at 8 Dana Road, Kelly said.Turner’s lawyer, Kenneth Gribetz, insisted to Kelly that the Monsey man accepted responsibility. Gribetz told the judge that Turner has come to the realization that he was wrong and there’s no rationalization for his actions .“I’m sorry for the whole problem,” Turner told Kelly. “I will never do that in my life.”

Satmar girl sings "Kah Ribon Ulam" with Chassidishe accent, Video

In a revealing top, a former Satmar girl shows off her singing skills.

A source close to the woman, revealed her identity as Breindy Rosenberg.

Rosenberg does not look or dress as a typical Satmar girl, but when she sings her accent definitely gives away her background.

Rosenberg grew up in the Satmar community of Kiryas Joel in Monroe, New York.

Rosenberg is seen dressed in a sleeveless and v-neck top as she sings a Jewish song, which Orthodox Jewish men sing at the Shabbat table every Friday night.

According to people who know Rosenberg, she has left Kiryas Joel and she now resides in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In the video below, Rosenberg is heard singing a Jewish song. She is struggling to carry the tune and she stumbles over many Hebrew words.

A man is heard in the background helping her with the song. At the end of the song she laughed at herself and she wished everyone a Good Shabbos. We can only hope that the video was not recorded on Shabbat.
Video was removed, will try to get it back soon

Look where you Holy "Shaimos" wind up, Video

Shaimos dumped like garbage

Thousands of Jewish people were devastated and angry after one prominent rabbi has desecrated Jewish holy books by dumping them at the side of a road.

Jewish law requires one to bury torah scrolls and some other religious items that are no longer usable.

Rabbi Chaim Abadi, was paid by people in the Lakewood, New Jersey, community to bury their religious articles, according to the Jewish law. 

Sadly, rabbi Abadi violated their trust by not burying them properly, according to Jewish law or according to the laws of the state of New Jersey.

Larry Simons, who is also Jewish, first alerted the State Department of Environmental Protection about the bags.

Rav Eliezer Berland, "Groiser" Tzaddik of Breslov flees Israel after sexually abusing 20 women

An elderly Jerusalem, Israel rabbi fled Israel, and is currently in the United States, after police questioned him for the rape of up to 20 women and girls, according to press reports in Israel.

The most popular Israeli news website reported that the sudden trip to the United States that the leader of a large Hasidic group took a few weeks ago, was to escape possible charges of sexually abusing women and girls who came to him for advice.

The rabbi, is believed to be 75-year-old Rabbi Eliezer Berland, the chief of the Shuvu Bonim Breslov sect. He is a member of the Vaad Olami D'Chasedai Breslov or World Committee of Breslov Chassidim and is credited with helping thousands of secular Jews to convert to Hasidic Judaism.

Berland is currently in Miami, Florida, according to press reports in the United States.
The father of a 15-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by the rabbi told Army Radio that when his 15-year-old daughter told him about the abuse his older daughter also came forward and admitted that the rabbi had sexually abused her, too.

It is rumored that up to 20 women and girls were sexually abused by the rabbi. Several of his followers recently caught the rabbi naked with a naked underage girl, according to press reports in Israel.

Frum Jews eating grasshoppers for breakfast

Forget the herring, pass the grasshoppers..

As Israel is fighting the swarm of locusts which entered Israel from Egypt this week, one ultra-Orthodox Jewish man is happy to be able to collect bags of grasshoppers in order to enjoy them as breakfast and for snacks, according to press reports in Israel.

Farmers in southern Israel are hurting after swarms of locusts caused damage to crops, estimated at millions of shekels, but some there are very happy with the arrival of the locusts.

Mayer Rene, a ultra-Orthodox Jewish resident of Tel Aviv, told an Israeli newspaper that he arrived early morning to Kibbutz Be'er Milka to see the locusts up close and catch some locusts to eat.

"I started to collect them and was able to fill an entire sack. This is a desert grasshopper, which according to Jewish law is kosher,” Rene said. "Since I was little I've heard stories that Jews ate locusts in Yemen. They used to collect bags of locusts, put them into the oven and eat them. I ate some years ago and it was delicious," Rene added.

He also said: "A few years ago, I baked it in the oven. I cut its head off, pulled the legs and wings out and I ate the remains."
Meanwhile, the Israeli authorities said that calm winds and pesticide spraying reduced the threat of the locusts spreading to other areas of the country.

Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, the son of Sephardi leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, ruled today that it is forbidden to eat the locusts. "It is the custom not to eat any grasshoppers, even when there are signs that they are kosher.
Some rabbis however, disagree and allowed eating the grasshoppers.
