Satmar "letter to editor" chastises those Chassidim who throw the ends of their scarves over the shoulder"

I must say that Satmar to this blog is a gift that keeps on giving!
In a "letter to the editor" to the Blatt, the yiddish newspaper published by the Aronie faction of Satmar, a reader writes because he is upset that the newly married Satmar Chassidim that wear scarves, wrap the scarves around the neck and then "throw the ends over the shoulder" just like women. The writer questions whether this does not constitute a violation of the prohibition of "Lo Silbosh." 
Now! I'm not certain if this is  some sort of a Chunakah joke, but the editor did print it among the other "important" letters!

Loosely translated:
I guess there was a previous letter referring to this new "minhag"

"In Honor of Der Blatt'
It didn't take long after the short letter (I guess it was in last week's edition) that a discussion is finally taking place among the Heimeshe Olom, that someone, finally, condemned this foolish fashion, of Bochrim, and married guys, who wear scarves, then throw the ends over their shoulder, which now borders on the "shaaleh" of not violating the prohibition of Lo Silbosh.
But for me this is not a chiddush; I remember that 10 years ago, The Rav of Burstein condemned this lewd practice on the 21st of Kislav Seuda,  to the students of  his Yeshivah.
And that was after some Bochrim and Married guys from the streets of Boro Park started this practice in his Bais Midrash when coming to daven, where the students of the Yeshiva also davened.
The Bursteiner Rebbe had mentioned this thru his "sweet lips" and strongly condemned this "lewedness" and the similar fashions that come together with other 'nisyoinis'in the darkness of this generation.
Kindly submit this letter in this week's edition since it is relevant to the 21 of Kislev (the anniversary of the Rebbe's rescue)"




Satmar Celebrates 70 Years of Rav Yoel Teitelbaum's Escape from Nazis! No Mention of Zionist Savior!

All the Satmar Yiddish weekly newspapers gave huge coverage of the 70th anniversary of Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum's rescue to Switzerland via the famous Zionist Kastner train.
But reading these newspapers, you wouldn't have an inkling  that the Zionists had anything to do with it....
Kastner Train arriving in Switzerland with Rav Yoel Teitelbaum on the train!

In fact, Der Blatt, the Satmar Newspaper published by the Aronie faction of Satmar, writes that not only didn't the Zionists rescue R" Yoel, but he saved them!
Unbelievable! 
Article on the right denies Zionist involvement in the Rebbe's rescue and claims that he saved the Zionists!
Loosely translated
I will not go into the whole article that rewrites history. I will just translate the pertinent 4 lines:
" This (that R' Yoel was saved by the Zionists) can only be told to those who are not familiar with the history, or to those who just want to deny the facts. 
The facts are, that not only didn't they (the Zionists) rescue the Satmar Rebbe, but he was the one who saved them" 

Satmar Rebbe "saved the Zionists?" This is news to everyone, including the Satmar Chassidim. 
They'r smart though, writing conspiracy theories after every one is dead!

Now see the shul that the Satmar Rebbe was Rav in, in Satmar, Rumania....

Notice the pews, and the Magen David, far cry from Bedford Avenue!
Notice Magen Dovid on top of the Aron Kodesh!

Rosie O'Donnell Selling Anti-Israeli Art

Rosie O’Donnell, an outspoken critic of Israeli military action against Hamas, was reportedly selling custom art of her perspective on the Israel-Palestinian Conflict.

This picture that the Bitch Rosie is selling wasn't even in Gaza

The longtime co-host of The View created 30 pieces of “limited edition” art, in a collection she titled "Israel Begins Bombing Gaza."
In the “art” category of rosie.com, O’Donnell pitched her work with a description of her creations. However, they were removed Friday.
The original post featured an image of a man carrying a child, captioned, “This man carries a baby about the same age as the one I sit next to, watching Frozen.”
According to a report from Israellycool, the photo O’Donnell was using for her art didn’t take place in Gaza, but is a Getty Images picture, taken in Northern Syria of an emergency response volunteer carrying a child wounded during a Syrian government attack.
O’Donnell used the same photo in a second piece of artwork, titled “Stop and Think.”
The second design depicted an airplane set behind the man carrying the child.

Friday, the art on Rosie’s site was taken down after the comedienne faced a backlash on Twitter, reports Newsmax.

Dr Michael Rosenberg and David Hartman killed in Plane Crash in Maryland

Police in Maryland on Tuesday tentatively identified two more people who were killed when the plane they were flying in crashed into a house in the Washington, D.C., suburbs.

Officers said they were 52-year-old David Hartman and 31-year-old Chijioke Ogbuka. A third occupant of the private jet, 66-year-old Dr. Michael Rosenberg, was also killed in the crash Monday in Gaithersburg.
Montgomery County Police said their identities will be confirmed once autopsies have been completed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore.
Police said the three were from Raleigh, North Carolina.
A mother and her two young sons, one of them just a month old, were also killed when the jet crashed into their two-story wood-frame home, which was engulfed in a fireball, authorities and witnesses said.
Marie Gemmell, 36, tried to protect 3-year-old Cole and 1-month-old Devin from the smoke and fire, but there was nothing she could do, Montgomery County police spokesman Capt. Paul Starks said. Her body was found in a second-floor bathroom, lying on top of her sons.
The jet’s fuselage crashed into the front lawn of an adjacent home, which was heavily damaged by fire, and investigators believe one of its wings, which had fuel inside, sheared off and tore through the front of the Gemmell home, said Robert Sumwalt, a National Transportation Safety Board member.
The plane took off from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and was approaching a runway at the Montgomery County Airpark, about a mile from the crash site, when it went down, Sumwalt said. Witnesses reported that the plane was flying too low and careening wildly before the crash.
“This guy, when I saw him, for a fast jet with the wheels down, I said, ‘I think he’s coming in too low,’” Fred Pedreira, 67, who lives near the crash site, told The Associated Press. “Then he was 90 degrees — sideways — and then he went belly-up into the house and it was a ball of fire. It was terrible.
“I tell you, I got goosebumps when I saw it,” Pedreira said. “I said, ‘My God, those are people in that plane.’”
In 911 calls released by authorities overnight, shock and alarm is evident in the callers’ voices.
“I just saw a jet hit a house! The house is on fire,” one man said. “When he came in on final (approach), it flamed out and he went straight down into that house.”
The home was gutted by the crash and ensuing blaze. No one was injured in the two adjacent homes that also had major damage.
Health Decisions of North Carolina identified Rosenberg as its founder and CEO. Nuventra Pharma Sciences of Durham, North Carolina, said Hartman was vice president of clinical pharmacology.
Rosenberg was a pilot who crashed a different plane in Gaithersburg on March 1, 2010, according a government official who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and asked not to be named. Investigators were still trying to determine if Rosenberg was at the controls at the time of Monday’s crash.
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett said Tuesday that the county would review policies and procedures at the airport, including the paths of approach to the runways.
“When you have an incident like this, it calls into question the safety,” Leggett said during an appearance on NewsChannel 8, a local cable channel. “We certainly owe it to the community to go back and check and evaluate, and we will do that.”
Including Monday’s crash, there have been 30 accidents at the Montgomery County Airpark in the past 31 years, according to NTSB records. Before Monday, the most recent fatal crash was in 1990, and most of the recent crashes involved minor or no injuries.
Steve Hedges, a spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and a pilot who knows the Gaithersburg airport well, said many of the recent incidents would be better characterized as hard landings, and some occurred during flight instruction.
“That’s not unusual in an instructional environment. Things happen when people are learning how to fly,” Hedges said Tuesday. “I think it’s a very safe airport, actually.”
NTSB investigators recovered the cockpit voice and flight data recorders from the plane, and they were in good condition, Sumwalt said. Investigators planned to remain on the scene for up to seven days collecting evidence.
The agency planned to look into everything that could have led to the crash, including crew experience and proficiency, training and procedures, equipment performance, weather and other environmental factors such as birds, Sumwalt said.

Agudah Chastises Jordan for anti-Semitic remarks

I must give credit where credit is do.... I have been screaming about this for years, that the Agudah is sitting at the sidelines in matters of Israel's security. Now, finally, the bear woke up from her slumber!
B"H

In response to recent manifestations of explicit anti-Semitism in the Jordanian parliament, Rabbi David Zwiebel, Executive Vice President of Agudath Israel of America, sent a letter today to the Jordanian Ambassador in Washington D.C.

In his letter Rabbi Zwiebel expresses surprise and disappointment that in “the immediate aftermath of the recent barbaric slaughter of Jewish men engrossed in prayer in Jerusalem, by two men who shouted a declaration of Islamic faith, there was no public reaction from the royal palace”. Rabbi Zwiebel also points to the fact that following the synagogue massacre, the Jordanian Parliament observed a moment of silence, in memory “not for the victims but for their murderers”.

“Has King Abdullah II or some other Jordanian authority addressed the above naked statements of extremism and anti-Semitism, emanating as they do, from members of the Jordanian government?” Rabbi Zwiebel asks. “If, not, why?”

“I respectfully request an expeditious response” the letter concludes.

Satmar Rebbes say 770 Stabbing was because America Stole NY from the Indians!



Well .... they never actually said it ....
but this is Satmar "farkrumtah" logic...
Didn't the "Chuchim" from Monroe say that the three kidnapped boys that were murdered by the Arabs, was because they were settlers?
So why is this stabbing different? Didn't the Americans steal this land from the Indians?

Bochur Stabbed At 770 Chabad Headquarters, Stabber Shot Dead by Police, Attacker Was Seen Previously Inside 770 And Was Chased Away, Video

Levi Rosenblat

 A Jewish man was stabbed inside Chabad headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday morning.
The suspect reportedly stabbed and injured 22-year-old Israeli yeshiva student Levi Rosenblat in the neck, he was transported by Hatzolah to the hospital in stable condition.
Police shot and detained the suspect, said to be a black male, at the scene. He later succumbed to his wounds sustained from the gunfire used during his arrest.
Motives behind the attack were not yet know, and the NYPD opened an investigation.
According to initial reports from the scene, at around 2 a.m. the knife-wielding suspect entered the room where the Israeli student was sitting in a lecture, prompting shouts to drop the weapon. The suspect then approached the victim and stabbed him in the neck.

The attack occurred in the study hall, where security cameras transmitted the attack being monitored by nearby police, who immediately arrived to the scene and called for the suspect to relinquish the knife, shooting him after he refused to do so.


The man who stabbed a bochur at 770 Eastern Parkway Monday night was chased out of the Chabad Headquarters earlier that afternoon, a witness said.
The man who entered the main shul at 770 Eastern Parkway and attacked 22 year old Levi Rosenblatt on Monday night was seen at 770 at approximately 5:00 pm on Monday afternoon, by a witness who told COLlive that he “chased him away.”
“I asked him what is he doing here, he was walking around downstairs,” the witness said. “He replied, ‘I’m not allowed to be here?’ He kept asking all kinds of questions about what time the learning takes place in the Shul and other information.”
After being chased out, he quickly ran out of the building and drove away in a gray Nissan sedan, the witness said.
The same car is now parked directly in front of the entrance to 770.

Hagoen Hazatdik Mordechai Blau Shlita is now busy with the ladies!

"כל אשה שתתקרב למפלגה שלא בהנהגת גדולי ישראל - תצא בלא 

כתובה ואסור ללמוד במוסדות החינוך שלה

The "Chamer Izel" Rabbi,  Mordecahi Blau
Yesterday we ran a story about Frum ladies in Israel that had enough of the do nothing "long beards" in the Knesset, and decided that they will run for office themselves or vote for parties that they see fit will do the job...

Well..... not soo fast!!!!
The "long beards" have gone Ape-S___ over this.
Rabbi Mordechai Blau a member of UTJ, United Torah Judaism party, the Ashkenazi party that represents the "Gedolim",  warned and threatened  that "any lady that joins this "lady party" can be divorced without a Ketubah, and all her children are to be thrown out of the schools."

This "Chamer Izel" ( this is a yiddish saying referring to people who only have women in mind) who is supposedly a "well known mechaneich" has gone on the offensive against the "Ladies," because he feels threatened. He would rather everything remain "status quo" so that the  Frum parties will be able to continue to do nothing but scream at Lapid and throw stones on the Frum Soldiers in Uniform.
He also threatened the men that support this woman political party!

המחנך הנודע הרב מרדכי בלוי, מבכירי 'יהדות התורה', מצהיר היום (א') כי "כל אשה שתתקרב למפלגה שלא בהנהגת גדולי ישראל - תצא בלא כתובה ואסור ללמוד במוסדות החינוך שלה, וכן לרכוש ממנה כל מוצר, ומצווה להוציא את כל הצאצאים שלה מהמוסדות". 

הרב בלוי הוסיף וציין כי "אני ערב בלי נדר ליישום כל הנ"ל, והנ"ל אמור גם לגברים". 
את הדברים הצהיר הרב בלוי לאחר שבתקופה האחרונה פרסמה קבוצת נשים חרדיות קריאה להחרים מפלגות שלא ישלבו נשים ברשימותיהן, ובעקבות הפרסומים על מגעים לשילובה של אישה חרדית ברשימות שונות

הרב בלוי מוסיף ומבהיר כי מי שיעשה כן וילך בפומבי נגד גדולי ישראל - אינו חרדי.

Frummies Not Happy with Their Wives Launching Israeli Election Campaign

 Esty Reider-Indorsky

Frummies want their wives barefoot and pregnant, and are now up in arms about a group of Frum Ladies wanting to run for elective office...
Turns out, that 99% of the Frum Men have so far done a lousy job in the Knesset; they couldn't stop the Kollel cuts  the government imposed, and hundreds of Yeshiva Bochrim are now joining the IDF..

All in all, they have been useless bunch except for managing to cause Chilonim to hate frum Jews with a passion. and the infighting continue to cause  massive  Chillul Hashems. 

All the long beards ever did in the last government was drink hot coffee and bicker among themselves and scream at Lapid, so now that Lapid is out they're bored to tears.

But they refuse to allow their wives to take a shot at it....how would it look if the ladies were able to accomplish something?

Frum Jewish women in Israel have begun an unprecedented campaign to have women candidates on the lists of religious parties for next March’s early general election, media reported on Sunday.
“We want ultra-orthodox women—five percent of the population—to have a say in the Knesset and demand that the heads of the ultra-orthodox parties choose at least one candidate of their choice,” activist Esty Reider-Indorsky, a driving force behind the move, told public radio.
However, the broadcaster reported that the leaders of the parties in question (Shas, with 11 of 120 seats in parliament) and the Unified Torah list (seven seats) have no intention of agreeing to the demand.
In a manifesto published on social networks online and supported by personalities including secular Israelis, the ultra-orthodox women say they are prepared to go as far as an election boycott.
“And we (women) represent half of the electorate,” Reider-Indorsky told the station.
Ultra-orthodox Jewish women, recognizable by their modest clothing and hair styled under a scarf or wig, are already present in Israeli politics.
Although they have not been able to be candidates for ultra-orthodox parties, some have been elected standing for other parties and others work as assistants to members of parliament.
In the last general election in January 2013, the ultra-orthodox parties—long-time kingmakers in Israeli coalition politics—found themselves excluded from power for the first time in 30 years.
The general election will be held on March 17, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a snap vote following the collapse of his right-leaning coalition.
