Watch your kids in Monsey, Abraham Widenbaum is on the loose

A 25-year-old man is accused of attempted sexual abuse after he allegedly used candy to lure a 6-year-old boy into a room inside a synagogue, Ramapo police said Monday.

Abraham Widenbaum, a resident of a group home for the developmentally disabled on Hillside Terrace, faces felony charges of first-degree attempted sexual abuse and luring a child, as well as a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child, police said.

The boy was standing in his front yard at 6:28 p.m. Wednesday when Widenbaum is accused of offering him a box of candy to come with him, Sgt. Brian Corbett said.

Widenbaum walked the boy to a synagogue on Harriet Lane, Corbett said, and took the child into a vacant room.

Police didn't detail what happened, if anything, inside the room, but Corbett said Widenbaum asked the child to bring a friend back to the synagogue. The boy left the shul and told his father about what happened, Corbett said.

Police located Widenbaum walking along East Willow Tree Road at 5:50 p.m. Friday.

Widenbaum was arraigned in Wesley Hills Justice Court on Friday and remanded to the Rockland County jail in in New City on $75,000 bail. He is due back in court Tuesday.

The group home is run by Yedi Chesed, which provides services to people with developmental disabilities. It is an affilate of Bikur Cholim of Rockland, which provides health-related services. A message was left for Yedi Chesed officials seeking comment.

Israel sticks it to the Europeans: Exports to Russia will continue, regardless of sanctions

Finally, Israel is standing up for herself telling the Euro-pishers to go shove their boycotts, where the sun don't shine!

European Union sanctions levied against Russia for its mini invasion of Ukraine won’t stop Israel from exporting produce to Russia, Israel’s Minister of Agriculture Yair Shamir reportedly told Russian media earlier this month, Ha'aretz reported.

It won’t matter if Israel is pressured by the EU to stop exports to Russia, Shamir added.

Shamir – the son of Israel’s former right-wing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir – said Israel was taking this position because of the EU’s boycott of produce produced by West Bank Jewish settlements.

Russia stopped importing EU produce in response to EU financial sanctions levied at Russia over the Ukraine invasion, and Shamir told Russian media that Israel was interested in filling that void.

“First of all I don’t feel [pressure] and I don’t see it. Take into account that lately the Europeans have been putting some boycotts on our products. So [is that] how it goes? They put a boycott on us and we will not help somebody else? They can’t. They can’t on the one hand stop [Israeli] sales to Europe, and on the other [ask us to] stop sales to Russia. That doesn’t work together. They have to decide,” Shamir reportedly said.

Shamir also called the EU sanctions against Russia an opportunity for Israel, and reportedly said Israel is ready to triple its agricultural exports to Russia.

Israel now exports $325 million in produce each year to Russia and would like to raise that to $1 billion annually.

“If [the EU would] come to us and say, ‘Well, we will not do any boycott [of settlement products], then maybe we can negotiate. But I don’t think the Israeli government will go for that. Even if the sanctions [on Russia] are reduced, I believe our products will continue to flow into Russia. It will be easier to deal with us, it will be cheaper and more stable, and with no political price tag for what you do and what you don’t,” Shamir said.

Shamir’s was interviewed by RIA Novosti, but his remarks were also published in English on the Russian government’s own news agency’s website. They were seen by senior EU officials in Brussels, who reportedly raised the issue with Israeli diplomats.

Israeli envoys in Brussels discussed Shamir’s remarks and the irritation they caused with senior Foreign Ministry officials Jerusalem. In turn, they met with senior Ministry of Agriculture officials and “told them that because of the sensitivity of the Ukraine issue and the ongoing talks with the EU about boycotting settlement products, it would be best to avoid such comments in the future,” Ha’aretz reported.

Shamir’s office issued a statement that essentially said Shamir would ignore anything the Foreign Ministry said about the situation and would continue to push produce sales to Russia despite its attempted rape of the Ukraine.

“The minister did not express an opinion, nor does he intend to intervene in the dispute between Russia and the European Union. The minister works to expand agricultural exports to Russia, just as he does in other markets to realize Israel’s economic potential. And he will continue to do so on a commercial basis, not on a diplomatic basis,” the statement reportedly said.

A First - Over 6 Million Jews in Israel

As 5774 comes to a close, the Interior Ministry released population statistics showing the nation grew by almost 200,000 during the year. 90,646 boys were born as compared to 85,584 girls. The most popular names are Yosef, Daniel, Tamar and Noah. 75,848 Israelis got married and 23,419 were divorced. 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated “For the first time in the nation’s history, there are over six million Jews living in Israel”.

On the eve of 5775, Israel is approaching 9 million citizens. The numbers released on Sunday 26 Elul by the Ministry of the Interior show there are 8,904,373 Israeli citizens today as opposed to 8,730,562 at the close of 5773.

176,230 babies were born in 5774 including 90,646 boys and 85,584 girls. The name Tamar moved from third place in 5773 to first place this year. According to the Interior Ministry, the name Shirah moved from second to third place. Noah has dropped from first to second place. The name Talya fell from fourth to fifth place and the name Yael moved from fifth place in 5773 to sixth place in 5774.Yosef moved to first place for boys’ names after being ranked fourth place in 5773. Daniel remains steady in second place for a second consecutive name as is Uri, which remains in third place for a second consecutive year. Itai, which ranked first place in 5773 has moved to fifth place in 5774.

The growth in the population is due to aliyah, with officials registering 24,801 new immigrants arrived in 5774. At the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday 26 Elul, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu cited that for the first time in the State of Israel’s history there are over 6 million Israeli citizens.

Top Jewish Obama Official Who Pressured Israel Got $15 Mlln Payoff From HAMAS

Jewish Traitor Indyk 

Martin Indyk was Obama’s and John Kerry’s top diplomat in charge of forcing Israel to “make peace” with HAMAS and the Palestinians and shove all kinds of concessions down Israel’s throat that would be the death (G-D Forbid) of the Jewish State. But, for once, Binyamin Netanyahu, stood tough against him, and Indyk resigned to return to liberal think tank, Brookings, where he is a top official. 

 In exchange for his service to HAMAS against Israel,Indyk was given $14.8 million from Qatar, HAMAS’ top financier (and also ISIS’ top hostage ransom payer). 

The New York Times reported this (without, of course, noting Qatar’s role in HAMAS financing), and few noticed.

For those of you not familiar with Indyk, he is one of the many self-hating, anti-Israel Jews to come out of AIPAC–the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, otherwise fraudulently known as “the pro-Israel lobby.” 

Indyk has company in several fellow former AIPAC employees Wolf Blitzer (now at CNN) and M.J. Rosenberg (another friend of Obama and, until recently, a part of Media Matters) who once pretended to be supporters of Israel but are now cheerleaders for its Muslim enemies. He came to the U.S. as an immigrant from Australia. AIPAC helped him get the visa, and now this self-loathing Jew has U.S. citizenship. Indyk was born in England (thus, the extremely awful teeth).

Indyk was one of the founders of the pro-Israel, AIPAC-allied Washington Institute for Near East Policy. But, then, he joined the Clinton Administration  and has been anti-Israel ever since, constantly trying to shove bad agreements and concessions down Israel’s throat and at times succeeding (see the Oslo Accords, which he pushed and to which Oslo negotiator Caroline Glick acquiesced– but then saw the light . In exchange for pimping Israel on these disastrous concessions, Bill Clinton twice made this hideous creep the U.S. Dumbassador to Israel. And, then, Barack Obama appointed him to a special envoy position in charge of pimping Israel again. But, like I said, Netanyahu told him where to go, and he resigned in frustration, going to Brookings and getting the nearly $15 mill from his HAMAS funding partner buddies in Qatar.

Whenever you see an anti-Israel diplomat in ANY administration–Democrat OR Republican, follow the money and see the ultimate payoffs

Martin Indyk is among the biggest whores for Islam and Islamic terrorism’s patrons. And their johns get their money’s worth. They always do.

Despite all this, the left-wing morons who've appointed themselves to the leadership of Jewish communities across America continue to invite and pay this whore tens of thousands of dollars to hear his pretensions on Israel and the Middle East.

They’d save money if they just watched Qatar’s other financial project, Al-Jazeera. The same opinions are spouted there as emanate from Indyk’s ugly mouth.

As Israeli Media Reported the story:

משפחתו מאמינה כי הקמתה של מדינת ישראל הוא אסון והשלטון הציוני הוא אויב. בצעירותו למד במוסדות של סאטמר ובגיל 18, עזב את החסידות, יצא לעבוד והחליט לממש את חלום חייו - להתגייס לצה"ל. הכירו את חיים מייזליש, הנין של האדמו"ר מסאטמר, שרוצה לשרת בצנחנים

:זמן שהחרדים מקצינים עמדותיהם נגד גיוס לצה"ל, נין האדמו"ר מסאטמר התגייס:חיים מייזליש, בן 20, הגיע לפני שלושה חודשים מארה"ב לישראל ולנגד עיניו עמדה מטרה ברורה: להתגייס לצה"ל. אחרי שסיים את מסלול הטירונות, הוא אומר שהחלום שלו הוא להשתלב בצנחנים, מספר על העזיבה את החסידות הקיצונית, על היחסים עם המשפחה ועל החלטה לתרום למדינה.

מייזליש, נינו של רבי משה טייטלבוים, האדמו"ר השני בשושלת החסידות, המכונה "הברך משה". בצעירותו למד במוסדות של החסידות וספג את עקרונותיה האנטי ציוניים. בגיל 18 עזב את החסידות, יצא לעבוד והחל לחשוב בצורה רצינית יותר על חלום הילדות שלו שלעולם לא תיאר שיוכל לממש.

"תמיד רצה לי המחשבה בראש שאני רוצה להתגייס לצבא", הוא מספר לוואלה! יהדות, "מעולם לא חשבתי שזה יקרה ואף פעם לא היה לי את האומץ לדבר על כך עם אף אדם. כשלמדתי בישיבה, הסתכלתי על החברים שלי ועל החסידות בצורה שהיא מתנהלת, ידעתי שזו לא הדרך שבה אני רוצה להמשיך לחיות. לא הרגשתי טוב עם עצמי וידעתי שזה לא בשבילי".

הוריו של מייזליש, בניגוד למשפחות בקהילות חרדיות קיצוניות, כמו זו בסאטמר, ממשיכים לשמור עמו על קשר. "הם לא נתנו לי את ברכת הדרך והם גם לא מכבדים את ההחלטה שלי, אבל הם עדיין נמצאים איתי בקשר. הרגשתי שזה משהו שמאד רציתי לעשות. מבחינתי המדינה קיימת, היא טובה וצריך לתרום לה חזרה".

ההחלטה להתגייס לא התקבלה ביום אחד, הוא אומר, "זו הייתה החלטה קשה וחשבתי עליה רבות". בחסידות היו מי שניסו לשכנע אותו להימנע מגיוס, "אמרתי להם שזה מה שאני רוצה וששום דבר לא יעזור. הייתה לי עבודה מסודרת בארצות הברית אבל הבנתי שבשביל החיים שלי, זה הדבר הכי טוב שיכול להיות".

ביום שלישי האחרון סיים מייזליש את הטירונות, ובחודשיים הקרובים הוא ישתתף בקורס עברית. "החלום שלי הוא להשתלב בצנחנים. החיילים שם עם הרבה מאד מוטיבציה וזו היחידה שבה אני יכול לתרום רבות למדינה".

חסידות סאטמר היא מבין החסידויות הגדולות בעולם. היא נחשבת לקיצונית מאד ואינה מקובלת על רוב הרחוב החרדי. מרכזה בארצות הברית והיא מזוהה קודם כל עם הרעיון האנטי-ציוני. אלפי חסידיה מאמינים כי הקמתה של מדינת ישראל הוא אסון והשלטון הציוני הוא אויב.

Former Satmar Girl asked if she wants to be the 10th at a Minyan

by Frieda Vizel (former Satmar Monroe "Vaabel)

On Saturday, I was walking on Amsterdam Avenue in New York City, crossing over to the other side with my son Seth when a man with white stubble and a New Jersey accent stopped me and asked: “Do you want to be a tenth to minyan?”
I was shocked. I looked at him and asked: “Me?”
“Yes, why not?”
I was caught so off guard; I wore nothing that gave me away as Jewish. Just black leggings and a red shirt; boots. An ordinary outfit. I felt so integrated into the New York City weekend scene. But my eight-year-old son, who often chooses to be more religious than me, had his yarmulka on, so he gave me away.
I never thought anyone would ever ask me to be a part of a quorum for prayers. According to Jewish tradition, the presence of God descends to where there are ten men. Only in egalitarian synagogues women are also counted. I’ve watched men look for a tenth for minyan many times, because I grew up Hasidic and the men needed a minyan three times a day. When my grandfather was old and frail we held prayers in our house and finding ten men older than 13 who could make it was often a problem. We called the extended social network; cousins and neighbors and far away relatives who would make the effort for the sake of the grandfather; but I would never be called. I often helped get the men by running after younger brothers and knocking on neighbor’s doors to ask if someone could come be a tenth. After I got married at eighteen, I could help by sending my husband to be part of prayers when there was a need for minyan, but that was the only extent to which I could participate. Then I left the Hasidic community and began to explore small, tentative ways I can express my Jewish identity and be part of the Jewish community.
I stood there on this rainy Saturday and looked at the kindly Jewish man in astonishment. A part of me wanted to remind him that I was a woman and couldn’t be part of the minyan even if I wanted to, and a part of me was so deeply touched that this man valued me for religious services as much as he would a man.

"Worried Jew" writes letter to Matzav Blog

For those in the know: the "matzav" blog is really the English Yated. Since the Yated wants to be the Chareidi voice, it cannot possibly have a website, the Rabbis banned the internet, so to get around the ban, they  pawned the website off to their children, so that it appears as a separate entity! 

This is the way Chareidim operate, and it's no wonder no one trusts them anymore.

But here is a letter to the Matzav editor and my answer!

Dear Editor,

I have some questions for the readers of Matzav.

How have we allowed much of Yiddishkeit to be hijacked by those who have decided to rebrand everything so that it is “fun”? 

It is these people who are promoters of running away to the Ukraine for Rosh Hashanah, when a person’s place on the Yom Hadin should be his shul or yeshiva. They run to a Carelbach-concert-kumzitz type of Selichos, because a “regular,” normal Selichos in their local shul is not “fun.”

Good, old-fashioned, genuine Yiddishkeit is cast aside for the new, more “hip” type of Yiddishkeit, where the Yomim Noraim are a chance to escape to Europe and Havdalah has to be a 45-minute guitar-fest. Conventional Torah learning and davening, and normal Yiddishe dress and family life are replaced by feel-good versions of “anything goes.”

Where is the outcry? Or is there no outcry because most Jews have just gone off the deep end and people like me are now far and few between?

I’d rather hear from Matzav readers that people are just apathetic than hear that most people have been baptized and “farchapt” by the insanity, leaving me and some other yechidim to practiceYiddishkeit in purity, without all the fake fluff and the feel-good Judaic culture that seems to surround us wherever I look.

A Worried Jew

DIN:
Dear Worried Jew.

I am "really "worried" about you and YOUR  "hashkafa".  Personally, I am not for going to Uman for any reason. I will not support the Ukrainians, the murderers of my grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and brothers. May Putin destroy them all.

Since the founding of Chassidism  in the late 1700's, Chassidim left their families and went to their perspective Rebbes' to be with them thru Succos,  nothing new here. The Litvishe Rosh Yeshivos also required their students to remain in Yeshiva, as you point out yourself, nothing new here either. 

The reason being,, that Chassidim felt spiritually enhanced being surrounded by their fellow Chassidim and their Rebbe, and the Litvacks wanted to be near their Roshei Yeshivos to grow in Yiddishkeit and spirituality. Everyone in their own way! 

This surge of Ruchniyois that they experienced during these special weeks, remained and kept them going for the entire year. 

During the times of the Bais Hamikdash, men went to be Oilie Regel, and left their families behind, and that's where all this comes from. 

So, Mr. Worrier, what's wrong if a guy feels spirituality at a "Carlebach Selichos Kumzitz?"

It doesn't fit into your narrow-minded lilliputian brain? For you a guy who wants to get close to Hashem by attending a "Carlebach Selichos" is "farchapt" and "babtized?" 

Did you know, that the Leviyim in the Bais Hamikdash played their instruments while chanting the Yoim? Even on Shabbos!

What do you mean by saying "Good, old-fashioned, genuine Yiddishkeit ?"

What does that mean? Does that mean, shukling and rolling your eyes back into your head?

What's wrong with a "Havdalah that is a 45-minute guitar-fest." Who cares? What matters is that they are connecting to their Creator.

Thank G-D, that we have all these ways to connect. Some go to hear a Chazzon, some seek out a "good baal tefilah" some go to a Rebbe, and some, yes, go to a Carlebach Selichos. What's wrong with that? Because it doesn't fit into your mold?  Only a hat with a 4 1/2" Brim, and fancy eyeglasses with pleated pants, is your derech? Or Bushy, thick brisker payis half over the ear and the other half flying in the wind? 
And if a guy wears a blue shirt, he is an outcast?

What's wrong with "feel-good Jewish culture?"

 Depressed is better? What's wrong with "fun?"

There are many ways to connect to Hashem...

Judaism has evolved.
 In the times of the Rambam, they were turbans .... this Shtreimel, and the hats the Yeshiva guys wear is a new phenomenon,. The Chofetz Chaim wore a cap....

You Shoiteh!

You are the one who hijacked our religion !

Satmars in Monroe Vote for a Shiksa instead of Chassidic guy for Assembly seat

Aron Weider

Elisa Tutini

Nu Nu, pass the bubbilich! 

Satmar decided that a  shiksa will be better for them than the Chassidiser Guy, so they voted as a block for Tutini. I think Weider didn't hold from the shita, and the shiksa is probably against the "medinah" so it's a perfect fit  ... just speculating!

Rockland County legislator Aron Wieder lost the Democratic primary for the 98th Assembly District seat said election officials Wednesday.

Wieder trailed Elisa Tutini of Monroe by 107 votes in last week’s primary, reports LoHud (http://lohud.us/1tizkK9 ).

Outstanding votes were counted for Orange and Rockland counties, showing Wieder lost by 61 votes.

The seat for the 98th Assembly District has been open since Annie Rabbitt became Orange County clerk in January of this year.

Tutini will go up against Deerpark Town Supervisor Karl Brabenec in November.

Avraham Gefner arrested for molesting in Nyack..

Hey guys remember when I broke the story July 31? Well they finally arrested the guy who wants to grope for free!

46-year-old Avraham Gefner allegedly grabbed the thigh and buttocks of a waitress at a South Broadway restaurant, the Journal News reported.

The woman reported the alleged assault to her manager, but Gefner left before police arrived.

Police used normal investigative methods and a search of social media to find Gefner, who was arrested Friday by Orangetown police.

Gefner was reportedly released without bail.

He is scheduled to appear in Nyack Village Court on September 23 right after Selichos!
