So thank G-d that we now have a brand new Poisek ... R' Aron Teitelbum from Satmar!
And with a new poisik comes new restrictions!
So he paskened that he wants to torture his followers with 3 extra days of Pesach .... Me'cheirus Le'avdus...

A pashkivel went out that Satmar Chassidim also, cannot say "Mizmor LeSodah" in Shachris for the three days! 


Satmar Rabbi Brothers Endorsed Hillary for the Primaries even-though she advocated for Gay Marriage

Both Yiddish Newspapers, Der Goy (Zalonie paper) and Der Bluteh (Aronie paper) endorsed the lady witch Hillary for President .....
They didn't endorse any republican candidate even though both Cruz and Trump are against Gay marriage ...

Jews reclaim Jewish home in "Moslem" Quarter, fulfilling the Prophecy of The Navie

While Satmar Chassidim are buying property in Bloominberg, Lakewood and other Chutz Leaaretz places ....real Jews are buying back the Jewish homes in the old city of Yerushalyim!

Chabad IDF rabbi's unique cure for Charedi extremism ... Tanya

Image result for Rabbi Shraga Dahan chabad
Maj. Rabbi Shraga Dahan, a military rabbi in the IDF, on Sunday revealed his unique way of confronting an extremist haredi youth who verbally assaulted him over his military service for the Jewish state.

Dressed in uniform, Rabbi Dahan arrived at the Chabad synagogue in Beit Shemesh he regularly prays at, only to be confronted by an extremist haredi youth praying at the synagogue who called him "hardak," an insulting term used to stigmatize haredi soldiers by questioning their religiosity.

But Rabbi Dahan did not take his brush with the so-called “hardak” campaign lightly, and responded in a unique way - that included seizing his hat and forcing him to learn about loving his fellow Jew.
"It's not the first time this happened to me," the military rabbi told Haredim 10 on Sunday. "About a year ago I walked around Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet and things were thrown at me, cups and things, I also took insults."

Recalling haredi soldiers who have been attacked by haredi extremists, Rabbi Dahan said, "I started to fear going to those places, and that isn't normal, I'm not ashamed of what I'm doing, do I need to apologize for representing Judaism in the IDF?"

Satmar Rebbes book V'Yoel Moshe played into the hands of the Zionists

Listen to the Yokeh Rav z"l tell the Liska Rebbe (2:32 mark) that he advised R'Yoel Teitelbaum not to print his book V'yoel Moshe, because the book will play into the hands of Ben Gurion....

 R' Yoel Teitelbaum, founder of the Satmar anti-Zionist cult, wrote a book in which he tells frum Jews not to make Aliyah (defying the Ramban that wrote that Yishuv Eretz Yisroel is a Mitzvah bizman hazeh) ... 
The Yoka Rav suggested that Ben Gurion will love that idea!
of course R' Yoel didn't take his advice kdarko be'koidesh. R' Yoel never took advice from anyone .....

Yehuda Meshi Zahav says Anti-Zionist 'Eda Haredit' are Crazed lunatics!

Read the article, I have nothing to add ....
ZAKA chairman Yehuda Meshi Zahav describes sparingly and with restraint the things he and thousands of his volunteers at ZAKA do. 
ZAKA is a Charedi (ultra-Orthodox Jewish) organization that rescues, identifies, and traces Jewish disaster victims in Israel and all over the world under sometimes virtually impossible conditions. 
Such a mission requires love of one’s fellow man, great empathy, faith, and a belief that good will come of it. It requires Zahav, a man with impeccable curly white payess (sidecurls).
Two months ago, following a four-year struggle, ZAKA won recognition as an official UN consultant and observer. The eventual decision was taken unanimously by a special UN committee composed of representatives of 19 countries, including Iran, Sudan, Venezuela, Cuba, Turkey, China, Russia, Pakistan, Uruguay, Burundi, Greece, the US, and Israel.

Appearances don’t always give the whole truth.


A father and daughter shared a special moment at a IDF Beret Ceremony recently.
Yuval of Beit Aryeh finished her course in paratroop training. Her father, Chaim, came to cheer her on during this special moment.
Appearances don’t always give the whole truth. Though Yuval’s father looks like someone who wouldn’t be interested in his daughter’s activities in the IDF, Chaim looks at her like the proudest father.
What would we think if we would see each of them separately? Admit that in your heart, how many times did we go wrong in life when we rushed to judge others only according to what we saw in the eyes without really knowing the facts.
In fact, Chaim was fearless fighter special unit during the most turbulent Gaza Strip and participated in numerous complex operational activities.
These wonderful people show us that love knows no boundaries. Mazal tov to Yuval on finishing her course!

A Thought on The Hagadah

The Pesach Hagadah ...
by Shmuel knopfler

The Hagadah commences with shame & he ends with praise ...
Why are we starting with shame?


Normally a nation would pride itself with a glorious past
not with disparaging remarks.


We are not no remind the convert of his checkered past.
The Maharal points out that in order for a person to ascertain his
current position he must look into his past from where he came from.

This is an integral part of Hakaras Tov, simple gratitude.

A third of the Jewish people were decimated 70 years ago.
Today we are resuscitated in our own land with the language of our ancestors.

What a contrast to the abyss we came from.
This is a clear & open miracle of HaShem.
Our physical & spiritual revival manifests itself both
on an individual as well as on a national level.

IDF Generals Not in Touch With Israel Citizens!

by Caroline Glick
It's been along timing in coming, but it finally happened.

The IDF General Staff has lost the public trust.


This is terrible for the General Staff. But it is more terrible for the country, because the public is right not to trust our military leaders. They have earned our distrust fair and square.

The final straw came in less than optimal circumstances.

But such is life. Things are never cut and dry. On Purim, Sgt. Elor Azaria killed a terrorist in Hebron as he lay on the ground, shot, following his attempted murder of one of Azaria’s comrades.

Still today, we don’t know whether Azaria acted properly or improperly. He claims that he believed the terrorist had a bomb beneath the heavy jacket he was wearing in the middle of a heat wave.

Azaria claims that he shot him because he feared that the terrorist – who was moving – was trying to detonate the bomb. This view was shared by emergency personnel at the scene caring for the wounded soldier.

But even before he had a chance to tell his story, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon had already declared Azaria guilty of murder. Based on an initial field investigation and a snuff film produced by the European-funded anti-Israel group B’Tselem, Eisenkot and Ya’alon excoriated Azaria and pronounced the soldier, who was decorated for his service just last year, a rotten apple.
