Ostreicher resting in LA!

(L-R) Ari Ostricher next to his brother Yanky, Mark Wahlberg,  Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz on Dec. 31, 2013.

In the first photos to emerge of Yanky Ostreicher since his arrival in the United States, the Brooklyn businessman is shown together with Holywood actor Mark Wahlberg at the home of a Los Angeles philanthropist.
VIN News has confirmed the authenticity, and that the photographs were taken on December 31st at the home of Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz.
According to a VIN News source who is familiar with the situation and asked to remain anonymous, it was Wahlberg who first made actor Sean Penn aware of Ostreicher’s plight, which set into motion the sequence of events that finally ended in Ostreicher’s escape from Bolivia.  Both Wahlberg and Rechnitz have been working for over a year to facilitate Ostreicher’s return to the United States.
“It was a covert operation, although maybe not James Bond style,” said the source.
Ostreicher, who is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, is said to be staying indefinitely at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, where he is recovering from his lengthy ordeal in Bolivia.  Ostreicher’s brother, Ari, has flown in from New York and Penn has been visiting with Ostreicher on a daily basis.
The Aleph Foundation, which has also been involved in the Ostreicher situation for many months, presented Penn and Wahlberg with silver menorahs on Monday and Tuesday respectively, in appreciation of their humanitarian efforts.
The Aleph Foundation declined to comment on their involvement with Ostreicher and due to the New Years holiday, Wahlberg’s communication office was unavailable for comment.

Bloomberg blasted at de Blasio swearing in, "Black" Chaplain says "New York is a "plantation"


Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Mayor de Blasio’s inaugural guests took turns beating up on former Mayor Mike Bloomberg at City Hall Wednesday — even calling his reign a “plantation” that callously ignored New York’s hungry children.
With the ex-mayor seated just feet away, in the front row of the dais, performer and civil-rights icon Harry Belafonte launched the first shot by calling the city’s justice system “Dickensian” thanks to Bloomberg’s stop-and-frisk policy — an apparent reference to de Blasio’s “Tale of Two Cities” campaign theme.
“New York alarmingly plays a tragic role in the fact that our nation has the largest prison population in the world,” he said, without mentioning that incarceration rates in the city had plummeted by 36 percent since Bloomberg took office in 2002.
Sanitation Department Chaplain Fred ­Lucas Jr. prayed that God free New Yorkers from the “shackles of partisan politics” and “political correctness,” and then went on to refer to the city as a “plantation.”
“Let the plantation called New York City be the city of God, a city up on a hill, a light shining in darkness,” he said.
Modal Trigger
And Public Advocate Letitia James bragged that the city’s Democratic victories werevoiceless must give way to a government that works for them, that speaks for them, that cares more about a child going hungry than a new stadium or a new tax credit for a luxury development that a majority of New Yorkers can’t ­afford,” James said.
 “inevitable” because of current conditions. “The policies that made [the struggling class] 
She added that “we live in a gilded age of inequality where decrepit homeless shelters and housing developments stand in the neglected shadow of gleaming multimillion-dollar condos.”
She later insisted her rhetoric “wasn’t personal.”
At one point, James held hands with her new “BFF,” Dasani Coates, a 12-year-old girl The New York Times profiled in a week-long series about homelessness.
Bloomberg appeared to grimace through much of the ceremony and endured faint boos from the crowd when he was introduced. His successes were virtually ­ignored until former President Bill Clinton finally acknowledged him an hour into the program.
“I also want to thank Mayor Bloomberg, who has committed so much of his life to New York City,” Clinton said, as Bloomberg mouthed the words, “Thank you.”
“He leaves the city stronger and healthier than he found it,” Clinton added. De Blasio followed, acknowledging Bloomberg’s “incredible commitment” and noting his crisis management and environmental stewardship.
Many New Yorkers watching the inauguration bristled at the Bloomberg bashing.
“I find these speakers offensive,” Brooklyn Democratic district leader Betty Ann Canizio tweeted. “It appears to be reeking of racism. Didn’t know we had a plantation.”

Bentzion Ausch stabbed in Yossi's wine & Liqueur Store



Borough Park, NY - Police in Brooklyn’s 66th precinct are out on the streets tonight, looking for a man who stabbed a liquor store employee who refused to give him liquor.
The bizarre incident took place at approximately 6:20 PM tonight at Yossi’s Wine and Liqueur, located on 18th Avenue between 57th and 58th Streets in Borough Park, when a white man, described as being of Russian heritage, stabbed 29 year old Bentzion Ausch, a store employee.
According to Ausch’s cousin, Bentzion Teichman, the two men struggled after Ausch refused to give the unidentified man liquor.
“They were fighting and my cousin didn’t give the Russian guy liquor so he stabbed him,” Teichman told VIN News, adding that police are treating the incident as the robbery.
The assailant fled the store after stabbing Ausch, the father of two children, several times.  According to Teichman, his injuries were not life threatening.
Borough Park Shomrim has tweeted a picture of the assailant, taken from security footage and are asking anyone who sees the man to call 911.

"techeilis" blue color has been found, scientists say

Wool being dyed with dye taken from a Murex snail by the Ptil Tekhelet Foundation. Sunlight causes the dye to consistently turn sky blue; without sunlight, the dye varies in color from almost purple to a light blue.

Israeli scientists have confirmed that a textile fragment with tziztes that is almost 2,000-years-old contains the blue color called tekhelet in the Bible.

This is only the second piece of such fabric ever found in Israel. The first piece, containing dark blue dye, was found at Masada during excavations there. But it may not be local in origin and for that and other reasons has had little impact on the debate about the actual color or source of the dye.

But the fragment studied and reported on now is of local origin, is close to 2,000 years old and apparently contains the real Biblical blue, a blue that is sky blue – not the dark blue found at Masada or the purple some rabbis have postulated. The fragment was reportedly found in the 1950s in a cave at Wadi Murba’at, a site where Jewish fighters hid during the Bar Kokhba revolt in the second century CE.

Dr. Na'ama Sukenik, a curator at the Israel Antiquities Authority, announced the find Monday at a conference held in Jerusalem to mark the 100th anniversary of the publication of Rabbi Yitzchak Halevi Herzog’s doctorate on tekhelet. Herzog, who later became the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel, postulated that the dye used to make tekhelet comes from the Murex snail.
But Herzog had difficulty producing one uniform color from Murex snail dye and eventually came to believe the Murex might not be the source of tekhelet dye.
After his death scientists discovered that sunlight causes the Murex dye to consistently turn sky blue; without sunlight, the dye varies in color from almost purple to a light blue. That would mean that if the Murex is the source of tekhelet dye, tekhelet must be sky blue in color.
Because of that, the Ptil Tekhelt Foundation in Israel began producing sky blue tekhelet made from Murex dye almost two decades ago.

In 1887 Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner, the Radziner Rebbe, postulated that the Sepia Officinalis (common cuttlefish) was the source of the Biblical dye, and Leiner, his hasidim, and some Breslov hasidim began wearing dark blue colored tekhelet made from it. Although it was later shown that almost any organic material, including ox blood, could have been used as the base of that dye, and that its blue color came from chemical and organic additives, not from the cuttlefish itself, Radziner hasidim and some Breslov hasidim continue to wear tekhelet made from it.
Which of these two tekhelet colors and sources is correct? Or is another yet to be discovered color and source the correct Biblical tekhelet dye and color?

Sukenik, who studied the Wadi Murba’at fabric fragment for her doctorate, recently had that fabric fragment chemically analyzed and found the dye does not come from cuttlefish – it comes from the Murex Trunchular, the snail Herzog argued 100 years ago that the tekhelet dye came from. That, combined with its presence on ancient tzitzit (ritual fringes), the location of the find and the high probability the fabric fragment comes from the army of Bar Kokhba – who briefly reigned as a kind of king over parts of Judea and who had the backing of the great Mishnaic rabbinic sage Rabbi Akiva and thousands of his students, many of whom joined Bar Kokhba’s army – makes Sukenik’s fragment the almost certain Biblical tekhelet, Murex-derived and sky blue.

Vishnitzer Rebbe bans photographers from taking photos at weddings

The insane are now running the asylum .....

The Vishnitzer Rebbe of Bnei Brak, Israel, Rabbi Yisroel Hager, issued a ruling prohibiting photographers and taking photos at weddings.

Some Vishnitz followers plan not to invite the rabbi to their wedding so they will be able to take pictures of the special event.

“At the rabbi’s weddings there are always several photographers snapping thousands of photos, so why shouldn’t we be allowed to have wedding photos?” A follower of the Vishnitz grand rabbi said.

Yeshiva Student Murders 17 year old Bnei Brak boy


A Haredi yeshiva student was arrested and will be charged with murder after burning to death another teen, according to police reports in Israel.

Tel Aviv Region Police said that they arrested an 18-year-old Bnei Brak yeshiva student on Tuesday, after he was accused of burning to death a 17-year-old boy.

The suspect will be brought before the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court for a bail hearing, and prosecutors will demand his remand.

As we reported earlier, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish boy was found burned to death in a possible murder or suicide, according to police reports in Israel.

Tel Aviv Region Police said that a 17-year-old Bnei Brak resident, living at an apartment on Even Gvirol Street, who has been listed as missing since Saturday, was found burned in the Kiryat Herzog neighborhood.

Although he went missing on Saturday night, his parents filed a complaint about his disappearance on Sunday.

Police officers with the assistance of volunteers of Ichud Hatzalah Bnei Brak, launched a search this morning for the boy. A command center was established near the Ayalon Mall in Bnei Brak. Dan Region Police, dozens of paramedics, Ichud Hatzalah, ambulances and motorcycles participated in the search.

Police found the burned body at 11:40 a.m., behind the Hanok school.

Police said that the boy was probably burned to death at another location and dumped behind the school.

Residents in the area said that they smelled a fire on Saturday night, but when police responded nothing was found.

Tel Aviv Police said that the body was transported to a forensic lab for an autopsy in order to determine the cause of death.

Finally, Israeli Government will crack down on the Chevra Kadisha Mafia



Several governmental agencies in Israel have agreed to work together towards monitoring the operations of nonprofits, citing chevra kadishas in particular.

 In an unprecedented move, Bituach Leumi, the Ministry of Religious Services, Ministry of Justice, and the Interior Ministry’s Corporations Authority are working together to monitor the operations of chevra kadishas.

The Ministry of Religious Services is being informed to pass the information along to the various chevra kadishas, that beginning with their annual filing for 2013; they will have to follow a uniform format set forth by the Corporations Authority.

 Any chevra kadisha failing to file in line with the new guidelines will not have its license permitting burials renewed. In addition, Bituach Leumi will not reimburse them for the cost of burial since they will no longer be licensed. The interagency cooperation appears to be part of the Ministry of Religious Services effort to regulate and maintain an industry standard.

Ministry of Religious Services Director-General Elchanan Glatt feels that “proper management is essential for all systems under the ministry’s jurisdiction and this applies to religious councils and chevra kadishas alike. We feel the cooperation between the various agencies is essential towards stepping up monitoring efforts of the nonprofits and this step represents a breakthrough in regulatory efforts.”

Grand Rabbis of Israel decide NOT to make a Chillul Hashem and cancel protest against the IDF

Who ever came up with this protest idea, obviously did not think it through!
Gerer Rebbi (left) Belzer Rebbi (right)
What did they hope to gain from this "massive" protest? 
The secular media wouldn't understand and wouldn't even care why Frum boys don't want to be drafted! 
They don't understand why Frum boys want the Chilonim to send their children to the army to protect them, and then  shower them with stones.

Also, there were many technical issues that they couldn't resolve, for example:

(1) The Ahronie faction of Satmar already had their protest last Wednesday in Manhattan, so they wouldn't show for a protest that was initiated by Ger and Belz.

(2) The Zalonie faction of Satmar had issues, because they wouldn't want to be under the same roof as the Belzer Rebbe, whom they called "YeMach Shemo" when the Belzer Rebbi came to the USA many years ago. They actually threatened his life and Belz had to hire security by the Friday Night Tish!

(3) The Litvisher Rosh yeshivas hadn't answered whether they would show or not. They really didn't want to join, because by in large the litvisher world doesn't work, and expect everyone else to support them. 
The Supporters of the Yeshiva quietly threatened to cut off support if they acquiesced.

(4) Aguda had said that they did not endorse the protest, because they knew that they would lose financial support from their benefactors who all support Israel (as it should be)!

So the Israeli askanim that came up with this brilliant idea, saw the whole ball of thread unraveling in front of their eyes!

The truth is that practically all Baalei Batim believe that any protest agains Israel is a huge Chillul Hashem, and there isn't a place hot enough in hell for those who organize these protests!

The Yeshiva students love these protests because protests are their only outlet, since the Yeshivas won't let them exercise and spend  time outside to get some fresh air.
Also, they by in large don't want to work or join the army, they would rather the Chiloim work their proverbial tails off and have them pay taxes, so that these taxes go to Yeshivas!

The Chilonim finally woke up from their slumber and saw that they were sending their children to die in the army to protect the Yeshivah boys, and saw their hard earned money go to Yeshivas.
At the same time the Yeshivas were ungrateful and never uttered the words "thank You" to the supporting Chilonim or the State, instead they bombarded them with stones and insults!
It is only now that funds were cut, that they are shrieking "fowl."

So, the Belzer Rebbi announced that he was not coming to the USA. The Gerer Rebbi said that if the Belzer doesn't come, he ain't coming ... so from there it went downhill.....

New York Times investigation of Benghazi Attack concludes that the "video" brought on attack!

Are there still  any sane people buying this lying rag?

I never buy this Obama mouth-piece, but today the headline caught my eye, so I took out my hard earned five dollars and bought today's edition .

I couldn't believe what I read ...... line after line of total misleading hogwash!

The Times had David Kirkpatrick write up an insane article of their "investigation" of what "really" happened in  Benghazi.

After a year of "investigating" they concluded that Al Qaeda wasn't behind the deadly 2012 attack on The US diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya!
(The military-style assault on the Us compound and the nearby CIA outpost that killed US Ambassador Chris Stevens  and three other Americans.)

Their conclusion?
Sit down before you barf on your morning breakfast....
The U-tube video that mocked Islam ???????

Yup! That crazy report first put out by the White House that the White House itself already retracted!

So which group actually did it according to this dummy ?
Al-Shariah!
Taking his gullible audience as a bunch of idiots ,
 he writes that al-Shariah is " not known to have affiliations with terrorist groups!

Well, guess what? Mr. Kirkpatrick, al- Shariah is part of al Qaeda .... According to the House Intelligence Committee !

As I write these lines, I'm listening to the  national news and I am comforted that BOTH parties are slamming this absurd report!

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the New York Times was simply wrong "that al Qaeda was not ionvolved in this."
" It tells me that they (Kirkpatrick) didn't talk to the people on the ground who wrere doing the fighting, the shooting and the intelligence gathering."

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) a member of the committee, agreed saying "I agree with Mike .... that the intelligence indicates that al Qaeda was involved."

Schiff added that the report was heavily reliant ... on people who were interviewed who had a reason to provide the story that they did."

So why did The Times print this report?

My conclusion!
Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and it was on her watch that these Americans were murdered; she is running for President.

This report was put in print so that she can refer back to The New York Times, to support her claim that this was not a planned attack, that it was a "spontaneous" riot,which of course everyone and especially Hillary know is a lie!

Hillary actually screamed "what difference does it make?" when she was questioned as to what happened!

If this was a planned attack, why was she caught off guard? Wouldn't that make her incompetent?

In fact the security failures at the US compound and the administration's response to the attack have become a potential political liability to Hillary Clinton.

So The New York Times, the liberal lap dog, had to publish this report   to perpetuate the big absurd lie that the attack was not planned but a spontaneous reaction to the video!

Nobody, even The New York Times readers are swallowing this horse manure.

Media ignores "Ahronie" Satmar protest against the State of Israel!

What if you made a party and nobody showed!

Well R'Aaron Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rav, threw a big protest in Manhattan hoping to garnish media attention, but no newspaper reported it, not even Der Yid, a satmar yiddish newspaper!
Because Der Yid backs his brother, R' Zalman Leib, whom he hates with a passion!

Reb Aaron, is married to a Sabra; her father, the late Vizhnitzer Rebbe had absolutely no problem taking money from the Zionist government. 

In fact, Reb Yoilish z"l, the first Satmarer Rebbi, R' Aron's uncle, despised the fact that his nephew would marry a Zionist supporter. R' Aron's wife talks the Satmar hated language "Ivret" with her sisters, the Skeverer Rebbitzen, and the Belzer Rebbitzen!

To prove that he is holier than the Pope, he massed this big protest, but nobody showed, except for his Chassidim.
The only Newspaper that I saw that reported this Chillul Hashem was "Der Blaat" an Ahronie backed newspaper!
Look closley at the photos, and you will not see anyone except for the protesting chassidim, the streets were empty of human traffic!
Notice the empty street

Here they are handing out Satmar "porn" to the 2 people crossing the street
