Assembly Member Ellen C. Jaffee Questions Legitimacy of Orthodox Jewish Voters

What a Chutzpah, from this "Alteh Katchkeh" Ellen Jaffee!

A majority of the 9 Board members of the East Ramapo Central School District in Rockland County, NY, are Orthodox Jewish, and they recently won re-election in a landslide, but sitting NY Assembly Member Ellen C. Jaffee used her time on the floor of the New York State Assembly to  question the legitimacy of the voters who elected the board. 

The shocking claim was made during a debate of Ms. Jaffee’s bill to impose an un-American “monitor” with veto power over East Ramapo. 

Obama and the media... a bunch of lapdogs

Lakewood Children unsupervised throw rocks on passing trains while adults drive around the barrier that stops cars from going on tracks!

The following is a letter to the editor in this week's Yated Ne'eman.

Dear Editor,
I would like to share with you an occurrence I witnessed last week that I feel strongly defies what we represent. What I'm referring to is what goes on during the weekly visit here in Lakewood, NJ, by what is known simply as "The Train."

I was walking down Park Avenue near the intersection of County Line Road, when I heard the horn of the train in the distance.
Suddenly, as if summoned by some hidden force, close to 100 children appeared from all sides.

The first thing I noticed was that there were a whole bunch of kids, some who looked to be as young as 5 years old, running on to or riding their bikes on the tracks right in front of the train, as if to escort it into town. No elaboration is needed to describe the chillul Hashem and of course the danger involved in doing this.

The children actually did this for as far as I was able to see at each intersection as the train proceeded along Park Avenue and continued into town.

The next very disturbing thing I saw was that the children started spreading rocks and stones from the rail bed onto the actual tracks to see them get crushed as the train rode over them. Again, there is no need to elaborate on the chillul Hashem and danger this involves.

The next thing I saw really shocked me. As most have heard or noticed, the intersection of Park Avenue and County Line Road was recently equipped with new gates to block the road as the train passes.

During the short pause (which was definitely lengthened by the procession of children), no fewer than 3 cars driven by Yidden went around the gate and crossed the tracks. The last car almost collided with the train and had to back up after making a shortstop right on the tracks.

I then noticed some children throwing rocks and pieces of wood at the train as it went by.

A short while later, I met up with the engineer and the conductor of the train and was able to hear their perspective on this weekly occurrence.

Unsurprisingly, the engineer had some very strong words to say to us.
He stated as follows:

He has been driving trains for over 25 years and has been doing this run from Sayerville. NJ, to Lakewood for the past couple of years.
He said that what I witnessed happens every Thursday during the summer as he passes through Lakewood. He told me that from all the towns and cities that he passes through, Lakewood is the only one where the children do this and the only town where cars jump the track. He also said that in his entire career, he has never seen cars pass through a closed gate until he saw it this past week in Lakewood. He said that the danger to himself and the children when passing through Lakewood makes him question his job, and he's close to quitting.

He went on to explain that besides the damage to the rail company's property , the stones laid down along the track pose a danger to him and to the children, as there exists the possibility of the train derailing. I do not need to go into detail about what can happen in such a situation.

He continued to say that as the train pulverizes the stones, the fragments of rock that shoot out can be going as fast a bullet and can pierce right through anyone standing close by.

He also said that a train takes a lot longer to stop than a car does, and this poses great danger to children who run and ride in front of him if they were to fall, lo aleinu. He went on to say that he constantly sees adults just standing by and not saying anything as this happens, greatly adding to his frustration.

I'll quote a question he asked me during our conversation.

Do wee need a child to get killed in order for parents to stop them from doing these things?

I am writing this letter to hopefully stop the problem in its tracks, so to say, before that happens, chalilah.

It is not necessary for me to explain how wrong this all is. we must remember our place in golus and be makir tov to the medinah shel chessed that we live in. It is situations like these that, at times, cause us to be looked down upon by our neighbors.

Parents, please tell your children that it is fine to stand by and watch the train pass, but anything that may be a chillul Hashem or a sakana is absolutely off limits. It is your responsibility to teach your children how they must act.

Five Charedi Soldiers Do the Right thing beating up a Palestinian Demonstrator but face investigation

Finally, we get to beat the hell out of a Palestinian who gets in the face of the IDF soldiers and tries to provoke them.
 The IDF is investigating.....
I guess they have to show the world that we don't allow this kind of violence...
Don't they know that the world only cares when an Arab gets beaten, but the fact that one cannot drive safely to Har Hazeisim because the savages keep throwing stones at innocent people, means nothing to the world....
Which country would tolerate this?
Notice the headline from Reuters ...
"Israeli soldiers filmed beating unarmed man!"
Hey Reuters .... fists can kill...

Were Dasan V'aviram Satmar?

Originally, while still in Egypt they were committed Zionists, we know that, because they survived the makkah of Choshech in Mitzrayim. Only those Jews who wanted to remain in Chutz L'aaretz succumbed to the plague of darkness! Even though Dasan V'aviram were rashaim having given over information to Pharoh that Moshe killed the Egyption, Hashem spared them because at that time Dasan V'aviram still looked forward to go to Eretz Yisrael.

In this week's Parshas Korach, we see a sudden turn of events in reference to Dasan V'aviram. When Moshe goes to talk to them, to try to convince them to coax them to separate from the "Gadol Hador" Korach, they utter words right out of the Satmar handbook Al Hagilah V'al Hatmirah ...they say with proudness 
"Lo naaleh, we will not make aliya!"

The Satmar Rebbe R' yoel z"l did not allow any Satmars to make Aliya pre-WW2, even when the cursed Nazis were nipping at the Hungarian/Roumanian borders ...... and get this, even after WW2, having  learned that 6 million Jews were annihilated, he was adamant that they remain in Chutz L'aaretz ,unless they had special permission.

So what actually  happened that turned Dasan V'aviram to become ardent Satmars?

They attached themselves to then "Gadol Hador"....  Korach! 

There were other Gedolim (Moshe and Aaron, Yehoshuah, Kalev)  that advocated going to Eretz Yisroel, and it  mattered not who lived there....even if Eretz Yisroel was surrounded by enemies; Ameleik lived in the Negev, the Chittes, the Yevusites, the Amorites lived on the mountain, the Canaanites lived by the sea and by the banks of Jordan...but all the Gedolim really wanted was the gift that Hashem gave us .... Eretz Yisroel.

but they, Dasan V'aviram listened to their "Gadol" who even though their Gadol made absolutely no sense and spoke and 'ploppeled" naarishkeiten,  they went with their "Daas Torah" and said
 "Lo Naaleh .....Nope ....No  Aliya for us"

We now  know the catastrophic results in both situations!

Al Sharpton Blames Parents for Calling Out their White daughter that was masquerading as a Black NAACP Official

Ha Ha... how crazy is this..? How low has this black fool sunk?

Al Sharpton yesterday slammed the parents of Spokane NAACP President Rachel Dolezal, saying he has to wonder what their motives were for revealing her to be a white woman, not an African-American, as she claims.

The Meshiginar Rachel Dolezal that is white ans says she's black

“On one level, you’ve got to say to her, you’re misleading us, but on another level, mom and dad, come on,” he told TMZ. “Are we gonna have this dysfunctional family stuff play out and distract us from real key civil rights causes. Be the adults here. You just now noticed she was in the NAACP?”

But still, Sharpton pointed out that the real issue is not race, as there are whites “in all of our organizations,” and who died fighting for civil rights.

“It’s not about whether she is white or black, but are you going to be honest?” he said. “Don’t be misleading… if you’re fighting for the rights of people, don’t deny who you are.”

However, Sharpton wondered why Dolezal’s parents, Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal, waited until Friday to appear on television to discuss her.

Instead, he said, they waited until she became more prominent before making their statements, Sharpton said.

“You’ve got to ask the question, ‘what are Mom and Dad’s motives here… where’ve you been?” he replied.

Her parents, Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal told CNN Friday that their daughter has been claiming to be black for years, but they were never asked about her until recently. The couple has four adopted children, three of whom are African-American and one from Haiti, in addition to Dolezal, who is their biological daughter.

They also shared a photo of her, taken while she was younger and showing her with blonde hair, and a birth certificate that lists themselves as Dolezal’s parents.

Her mother told CNN that Dolezal cut ties with them several years ago, as “she doesn’t want to be seen with us because that ruins her image.”

Howard Stern's Frum Daughter

Emily Stern

From an article in Jewinthecity.com

Like most people on planet earth, I’ve known who Howard Stern is for years, though, I’ve never really listened to his show or watched more than an occasional clip of “America’s Got Talent.” 

Then my friend Mayim Bialik was interviewed on his radio show last year and, of course, I had to hear it. What struck me most about their conversation was Mayim explaining Jewish ideas to Howard – like mikvah and modesty – publicizing these mitzvos to millions of his listeners. 

Howard challenged Mayim, wanting to know why she covers up so much – unlike most actresses in Hollywood – and Mayim explained that her body belongs to her, not Hollywood. Apparently, Howard was so struck by this idea that the next morning when he started his show he referenced it.

Howard Stern didn’t cross my mind again until a couple months ago, when I stumbled upon a poet whose work is featured in the LA Jewish Journal. 

A line in one of her poems jumped out at me “Why in the
 world why in the heavens
 when God says find a mate, 
Adam never stops to say, You, God. Us.
” It was so profound, I wanted to hear more. So I started clicking through to read more of her work and as I read, I got to an article which explained who her dad was. I was fascinated! Howard Stern’s daughter became an Orthodox Jew?! I reached out to her, we had a wonderful coffee meeting and told her I’d love to share her story and her art with the world.

Emily grew up Reform and “really did love it.” She sang in the choir, was close with the cantor, and always felt a connection with Judaism. But the ritual element was always missing. In her search to find a community that resonated with her, she stumbled upon Orthodoxy. She started out in the theater community majoring in theater at NYU, then at the age of 23, she randomly walked into a havdalah ceremony, hosted by the organization Romemu, in a yoga studio one Saturday evening. 

She had never seen a ritual that related to the world in such a grounded way. After that night in the yoga studio she found two ways of expressing her soul in the world authentically: by relating to matter through halacha, and infusing Judaism into her art. 

Inspired by the language of Torah, and wanting her writing to speak the same language, Emily joined an art fellowship at Drisha Institue (a seminary for Jewish education on the Upper West Side) and wrote a play there. While at Drisha she was lead to study at Nishmat, which is a center for advanced Torah study for women, in Israel.

Growing up on Long Island, Emily did not have much of an impression or interaction with Orthodox Jews. She always recognized a special light in the religious Jews she saw from afar. Seeing something as simple as a man wearing tzitzis always seemed holy to her. While becoming more observant, she thankfully was not met with too much pushback from her family and friends and found that most of them appreciated her journey. 

Perhaps the one exception was the first time her mother came to Israel and saw her praying; she expressed a fear about losing her daughter. Other than that, Emily says it was such a visible “emergence of her truth,” that her family could appreciate the changes she was making, which she was careful to make slowly.

Emily is passionate about exploring and publicizing Torah to the world through art. Creating art has always been a spiritual experience for her. It began in her childhood, when she found herself praying to calm her nerves before taking to the stage. Nowadays the spirituality in her art manifests itself in more of a “constant conversation with the world and life itself.” 

Emily said that she’ll open to a piece of Torah at random and find that it fits with an exact character she’s writing or theme of one of her poems. She has produced several different types of art, including an album called “Birth Day,” which she describes as “the nature of divinity and the divinity of nature.” She has also written “Love Psalms” which are short devotional poems to God. 

After finding Torah at Drisha and Nishmat she went on to write a children’s song book based on Perek Shira. The book is called The World is a Song So Come and Play, and in it children discover their song like each of the animals and their unique praises of God in Perek Shira. Her latest venture is a photography project called “The Wells of Miriam.”    

The name of the project comes from the well that accompanied the Israelites in the desert, and provided them with water in Miriam’s merit. 

The project started when Emily first saw a water retention landscape (pictured below)– a sustainable form of water management –in Portugal in 2014. Water retention landscapes are created to “reverse desertification” and “look like paradise.” 

They are ditches dug in intelligent ways to model a pond or lake, and help with altitude and water circulation. They are made entirely of natural materials and when there is rainfall the water fills deeply into the earth and rehydrates the land. New vegetation grows, new animals come and new ecosystems form, in formerly barren wasteland. 

The final (and most fascinating) step is when the ditch is full to capacity…and becomes a mikvah. 

The retention landscapes are mikvaot (!) because they are entirely filled with rainwater. When Emily made this connection, she knew she wanted to explore the topic through photography. How apropos that a renewable, sustainable water source, is also a mikvah, the bastion of monthly renewal for Jewish couples. Just as these new waters renew and replenish an arid desert, so too the mikvah gives us a chance to renew our relationships and renews the possibility to bring new life to the world. Emily ended our interview by explaining one of her favorite parts of the Torah was where Hashem is called “Mikvah Yisrael,” the Hope/Renewer of Israel.”

New york Times doesn't want Marco Rubio to be President because he had 3 Speeding Tickets

I'm not kidding! 
This anti-Semitic rag should be driven out of business! 
They hate all republicans but afraid of Marco Rubio, betting that he has a good chance on becoming President, but Rubio doesn't fit their Marxist agenda. 
So they decided to attack him, but couldn't find anything on him except that he had 3 speeding tickets in 17 years...

You are not going to find any speeding tickets on Hillary's file because Hillary hasn't driven a car in 30 years...

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio and his political team are hitting back at The New York Times for what they consider two unfair stories: an article about traffic tickets he and his wife received over 18 years, and a piece about how he and his wife have experienced problems managing their money.

The candidate is leaping on the Times' stories to generate sympathy and argue that the mainstream media, despised by many on the right, are biased against him. He has used the Times donnybrook to raise money, attacking what his spokesman called "elitist liberal media," and this gambit has added $100,000 to his war chest so far, Fox News reported.

Thousands Of Yeshiva Bochrim Gather At Boulder Baseball Park In Pomona For Internet Asifa

I don't get it! Hezballah has 100,000 missiles poised at 6 million Jews and the organizers and askanim  couldn't care less...
Instead the askanim are busy with narishkeiten and got all yeshivas to stop learning Torah and talk about an issue that will stay with us until Moshiach comes.... 
Helllllllllowwwwww! The Internet is here to stay.... 
in a few years you won't be able to bank if you are not on the Internet! Get used to it...

Don't you think that it would have been a huge "KIDDUSH HASHEM" and would have given tremendous chizuk to the ones living in Eretz Yisroel if they would have gathered to say a kapittal tehillim?

And get this....they have the seats set up according to Chassidus? How sick and crazy is this?
Now a  Bobover can't mix with a Viznitzer!
Notice that the bathrooms are behind Viznitz & Krasna.
Was this the set up at Har Sinai?
Girls and women were not invited... because girls presumably can go on the Internet! 
Or maybe they weren't invited because the Askanim will give the boys and men permission to chop the hands off the females if they catch them watching the 3 stooges!

Also they couldn't bring themselves to  even call it by the real name "Boulder Stadium" instead they call it "Provident Bank Park" a name that that no taxi driver ever heard of ...
Good luck....and bring a water bottle! It's very hot out there!
