Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in Manhattan is moving ... The Church of the Holy Apostles Choir Will Welcome them

Rabbi Kleinbaum has been ranked by Newsweek  magazine among the 50 most influential rabbis in America

Mayor De Blasio speaking, notice the "Gedoilim" on the left

As my saintly mother a"h used to say "az men lebt, derlebt men alles" "if you live long enough, you live to see everything"

I thought that the Chassidishe and Litvishe Rabbonim were "influential" but now I learned that Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum who I have never heard of, is one of the "most influential rabbonim in the USA!

A small gay shul with the name "Cong Simchat Torah," no pun intended, opened 40 years ago and now they moved or are moving to a much larger newly built shul on West 30th street and will be welcomed by the choir of the Church of Holy Apostles .....

I guess Hellfgott was busy!

This Student Decided to Join the IDF When Anti-Zionists Showed Up on Campus

The following post comes from Humans of Jerusalem:

“If you would have told me two years ago that I’d be serving in the Israeli army today, I wouldn’t have believed you. I was studying finance in Rutgers university, and my connection to Israel was non-existent. My family is Jewish, of course, but other than that, all I knew about Israel was that it was a country somewhere in the Middle East.

“You might find this ironic, but it’s thanks to the BDS that I’m a soldier in the IDF. They showed up one day on my campus, called themselves “Students For Justice in Palestine”, or something of the sort. They would lie on the ground and pretend to shoot each other and yell things in a language I didn’t understand. All I could pick up from their shenanigans was that Zionism is evil, so I Googled it.

“Turns out, I’m a Zionist! My parents came from Latvia, and I never really felt like I had roots in the USA. I decided to join the Birthright program and visit Israel. I’m not quite sure how to explain it, but I knew I was staying. When the day of our return flight arrived, I refused to go. They told me that if I stay, I’d have to draft. “Exactly”, I said.

“My parents made me come back anyway, but I wasn’t giving up that quickly. I returned home to continue my third year, then decided not to show up for finals, ultimately dropping out to make Aliya to Israel. To be honest, I’ve lived in the US all my life, but in the year that I’ve been here, I’ve felt more of a sense of belonging that I ever felt back home”.

In Monsey Gentiles are outraged at the hanging of Haman in Effigy on Purim

The Holocaust has long been forgotten by the frum oilim in the USA!
Kleinman built a "Holocaust Center" that houses a couple of old shirts ...too late and too little and is basically a mockery of the Holocaust victims...
They have separate hours to make sure that families cannot go together, and so children of survivors cannot go together with their boys and girls as a family to view and hear the terrible catastrophe that happened to the last generation!
Instead of working with Yad Veshem to include more Frum Stories of the victims , they made their own... and it's a disgrace! 

 Stories about "Der Alter Heim" where Jews feared their Goyishe neighbors are now put in Yiddish masseh beechlich to be read in the bathroom or better yet to scare little boys in Pirchei!

 Bochrim in the USA have been taught early on, that we Jews must live in Chutz Le'aretz until Moshich comes, a theory fabricated by the Romanian Satmar sect and now spread and accepted by the Litvisher velt as well!

Beautiful homes are being built, Mosdos and Shuls are going up, in Boro park, Flatbush, Lakewood, Williamsburg, Monsey and Monroe antagonizing the goyim ..and our Gedoilim just keep coming with their electric drills to place the first Mezuzah in these monstrosities, believing that Moshach is a concept that the Novie Yechezkel made up!

The new generation has become so confident in the "goldeneh medinah" that   they have no problem putting down their goyishe neighbors and are totally immune to their sensitivities.

They totally disregard the fact that they are in Galus, and forget that the RBS"O has given us a land of "milk and honey.".........

Instead of supporting our brothers and sisters in Israel , they skew pesukim in the Torah and Tanach to denigrate those who sacrifice their lives for the families of the Jewish nation!

There are new elections in the USA, the platform of the Democrats , the largest party in the country, no longer supports Israel......
And old communist Jew who has the same shitah as Satmar about Israel is garnishing millions of votes..... the worn old hag, an avowed anti-Semite that took millions from Arabs is also running and has so far an excellent chance of becoming president! 

The fans of anti-Semitism are blowing in the streets where Jews reside all over the country...
Pre-Germany is in the air all over the world...
Jews in France, Antwerp, and in England are in danger of being annihilated, and instead of making plans to get the hell out of Jewish blood soaked Europe, Jews are playing and fiddling in their host countries believing like the pre-war doomed European Jews that everything is just great!

Just last week thousands of naive Jews went to Europe to celebrate the Yurzeit of Reb Elimelech of Lezhensk ...putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in the coffers of rapists and murderers. 
It's time to dig him up and bring his bones to Israel like they did with Yaakov Aveenu ....


Now go hang another goy in effigy!

Chief Rabbi appeals to release Meir Ettinger for son's brit

Israel's Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau has responded to a letter sent by the wife of administrative detainee Meir Ettinger, in which she appealed for her husband to be released to attend his firstborn son's brit milah (circumcision).

Ettinger has been held without charge for more than seven months, as security officials accuse him of coordinating an amorphous group of "Jewish extremists."

Dozens of his relatives protested last night in central Jerusalem, calling for him to be allowed to attend his son's brit. 

In response to the letter from his wife, Rabbi Lau turned to Prisons Service Commissioner, Lieutenant General Ofra Klinger, and asked her to reconsider the decision not to allow Ettinger to attend.

In his appeal to Klinger, Rabbi Lau noted that "The brit milah is one of the most important mitzvot to the Jewish people, and testifies to the covenant between the people of Israel and God, and as such is one of the most important events in the life of a father, so there is no doubt that not attending his son's brit milah will cause him pain for the rest of his life."

Concluding his letter, Rabbi Lau appealed for Klinger "to make every effort to find a way for Mr. Ettinger to take part in his son's brit milah - of course, with all the required and relevant security procedures."

Ettinger's family have refused an offer by the Prison Service to hold the ceremony in prison as unacceptable.

Frankfurter Blasts Jewish Blogs in Ami

Most Jews have thrown out the candies they got for Shloach Manos, and are converting their houses to be ready for Pesach!  They are moving on!

But not the Frank!

He is stuck in his own manure .... that he himself has manufactured!

He has the biggest Jewish Blog that exists, but in a magazine form! 

He has never lost an opportunity to attack Harav Hapoisek Yair Hoffman either directly or by innuendo! 

Yitzchok "The Frank" Frankfurter, the editor of Ami Magazine manages to sneak attacks on the State of Israel, sandwiching his criticism with articles that are blatantly false!

Those who have read my posts about this fool, know what I am talking about!

The Frank is also on a mission to re-write Satmar History, trying to portray a Chassidus that has been founded on a premise to hate Jews that love Eretz Yisroel, as something great and holy...

For example, on my side bar you can see an article by THE FRANK, trying convince his naive readers  that R' Yoel Teitelbaum was an Ohaiv Yisroel that loved every single Jew ......and gives an example that R' Yoel gave money to a poor Zionist Jew!

Doesn't every single Jew give money to any Jew in need and doesn't every single Jew ignore the  background of the recipient ? ... What got him excited was that R' Yoel once gave a Zionist a couple of pennies knowing that he was a Zionist! Wow!!!!

 The fact that the Rebbe called Frum Zionist leaders  "zera ameleik" that is perfectly ok with The Frank ... in his mind that makes the rebbe a ttzaddik hador" and  what qualifies the Rebbe as an Ohaiv Yisroel was that he threw a bunch of pennies to a poor destitute Zionist Jew!

In this weeks Ami's editorial, The Fool,denigrates the Jewish Blogs writing:
"There is, in fact, no greater public desecration of G-d's Name, as well the name of the Jewish people, than the Jewish blogs on which personal humiliations, disgraces and communal in-fighting, oftentimes ostensibly in the Name of G-d, take place in front of the entire world "

The thing that is getting him all worked up is that we are calling him out on his lies and fabrications and exposing him for the pathological liar that he is!

Only The Frank is allowed to "humiliate" Talmedei Chachamim like Harav Yair Hoffman.

Only The Frank is allowed to "disgrace" Jews that live in Israel ....

In his head only a blog has that "issur,"  ....a magazine can write all the loshon hara that it wants!

Doesn't his editorial qualify as "loshon Hara?"

The Gerer Rebbe, the Bais Yisroel respected Harav Kook z"l

From Circus tent


Zalminu Wienberg, the holy Tolner Rebbe's brother, writes a

 Mussar vort his brother heard the the Beis Yisroel give, 

based on Rav Kook as a role model. 

Din's Loose translation:

I will bring a story that I heard from my dear brother Harav Hachasid R' Leibel, may his light shine.

Great story especially during these days of "Bein Hamzarim" 

The Rebbe The Bais Yisroel z"l (Gerer Rebbe) would invite people to kiddush and to the meals and he would tell them short divrei Torah. 
My brother would then write these Torahs down. 

One shabbos the Bais Yisroel told a story about an individual that was a kanaie, a fanatic , who interrupted a drasha of Harav Kook with hateful words against Rav Kook and managed to embarrass him in public  .....

Rav Kook took out his handkerchief, mopped his face and continued his drasha as if nothing happened!

A couple of weeks after  this incident, Rav Kook distributed Money for the poor so they would be able to buy Matzos for Pesach. 

The gabbai of Rav Kook, Harav Yitzchok Duvid Shuschland noticed that Rav Kook added the Fanatics name to the list of those who would get funds. 

Rav Shuschland told Rav Kook that no way would he go to this fanatic to give him money for they way he spoke to Harav Kook .... "and even if Rav Kook was to forgive this guy personally, it wouldn't be enough, since  kavod ha"torah was breached and that can never be forgiven! "

Rav Kook told the gabbai, "if you won't go, I will go there myself ...."
With no choice that gabbai, with a heavy heart  took the funds to the fanatic!

When the gabbai returned from his mission, Rav Kook told him that it is written that the Bais Hamikdash was destroyed because of Sinas Chinum, and the remedy to that is Ahavas Chinum...

So how can one achieve the attribute of Ahavas Chinum? 
Aren't we commanded to love every single Jew... so how can that be Ahavas Chinum if we are commanded to love?

The only way to achieve this is if you have a situation where there is good reason to hate someone, for example, when one embarrasses you in public ....and you manage to overcome that hate and actually love him, then that's Ahavas Chinum!

The Bais Yisroel ended this story saying that it's really a nice story to relate, but which individual can actually put this to practice ...... only Harav Kook z"l!

No holds ‘Barr’-ed

After spending a decade re-evamping the American television landscape with her hit sitcom Roseanne, in recent years Roseanne Barr has shifted tactics to shake up another much more contentious arena: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“BDS doesn’t want peace, nor do they want peace negotiations. They use code words like, ‘occupation’ and use it a lot [and] get all the mileage they can out of it,” Barr asserted in a forceful 20 minute speech against the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement delivered at the Yedioth Ahronoth and Ynet Conference held at the Jerusalem Convention Center on Monday.
