Bar Hopping Draft Dodger Yeshivah Bochur made into a saint by Gedoilei YisroelI .. Rav Dovid Solovetchik wants to take all his Talmidim out of Eretz Yisroel!

These Roshei Yeshiva are some thing else .... the draft dodging, bar hopper, caught in Eilat partying has now been given the kavod of a wealthy benefactor....

Hard working people have a very tough time getting an audience with these Roshei Yeshivah, but a guy that caused the huge Chillul Hashem with protests all over the country because of his arrest.... gets an audience with Rav Dovid Solovetchik, Rav Shmuel Auerbach, Rav Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss all in one day .....

But what gets me is that Rav Dovid Solovetchik said that if he could, he would take all his talmidim out of Eretz Yisrael ....

can you imagine ....'

Why doesn't he leave??? Let him go and take his talmidim to Gaza.....

No wonder no one has any respect for Torah anymore ...

The IDF deserter who was recently jailed after being caught in Eilat went visiting rabbonim.

Today, Moshe Chazan visited Rav Dovid Solovetichik, Rosh Yeshivas Brisk in Yerushalayim, hours after being released from military prison.

Chazan also visited Rav Shmuel Auerbach, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Maalos Hatorah, and Rav Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss,gaon av bais din of the Eidah Hachareidis.

Chazan was accompanied to Rav Soloveitchik by Rav Shlomo Zalman Brand, who told the rosh yeshiva about the boy’s arrest and his stay in prison. Rav Brand said that the boy is a talmid at Yeshiva Shaarei Tevunah, whose students do not visit the IDF recruitment offices.Rav Soloveitchik responded, “I myself am of the opinion that we need to get out of here. If I had it in my power, I would gather all the members of the yeshivos and take them out of [the country]. Anywhere else in the world, they do not do these things to yeshiva students.”

Gerer Smartphone saga continues ... Now they want you to spy on your neighbor!

We reported yesterday that the  Taliban heads  in Ger closed two Shtiblach, one in Bnei Brak and one in Ashdod because the congregants have smartphones!

But now they are going a step further and want the Chassidim to "masir" on each other! ........just like in ISIS!

There must be peace in Israel, because they have time for these narishkeitin!

Satmar He/She Will Explain Transgender Issues within the Frum Community

I'm now really concerned ... how are we going to give an "aliyah" to someone when he could possibly be a lady?
I propose that each shul hire someone to check out each and every "guy" that gets called up for an "aliyah"! 
I'm going to avoid the bathrooms in shul, now, because the "guy" next to me in the urinal could be a women.

Also the Lakewood "guys" fresh out of the freezer will have to checked out by a competent Rav!

The lesson of Chinuch Habonim ...teaching children to steal

On the video below watch a father teaching his mamzeirim how to steal.... in this case an Israeli flag!

In my previous post titled:

"Satmar Crazies rule that even on a bris they must say Tachnun on "Hai Iyer"

 someone commented that the Chazon Ish also said Tachnun at a bris on "Hei Iyer," eventhough the Shulchan Aruch paskens lehalacha that at a bris, one shouldn't say tachnun... the story is very hard to believe since  the Chazon Ish himself said on many occasions  that "Halacha supercedes ethical principles" 

but if the story should be true, then this is how it starts.... first we have Gedoim violating explicit halacha then you have shmoigers taking from that ...that anything goes.... ......

 

19th century painting of the Kotel

Original caption: "Jews Praying at Wailing Wall in Jerusalem" by Johann Martin Bernatz in 1868 (?)

It looks like this was Tisha Be'ov and so we bring this painting that while showing Jewish lamentations, is also a testament to Jewish continuity and aspirations for Redemption.

We are thankful to the archivists at the Ottoman Imperial Archives for digitizing and  posting vintage pictures from Palestine on their website.

On July 14, 2015, this incredible painting was posted. 

Note the Jews' lamentations. They are barefoot (their shoes are in the foreground), suggesting that the scene may be commemorating Tisha B'Av, a day of Jewish mourning for the destruction of the Jewish Temples and other calamities in Jewish history.

Note that the women are not praying with the men, as so many have erroneously claimed was the case before 1967.

The painter, Johann Martin Bernatz, was born in Germany in 1802.  He traveled in the Middle East and Asia in 1836 and published 40 pictures from his journey in a book, "Pictures from the Holy Land, Drawn from Nature" in 1839.  We suggest that the painting was painted 30 years prior to the year in the Archives' caption. 

The blessing said on the settlement of the land of Israel

In honor of the season of Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim, it is appropriate to once again review the halakha’s of the blessing the Chazal fixed over the mitzvah of ‘yishuv ha’aretz‘ – the settling and redemption of the Land of Israel.

Article by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed Shlitah

Our Sages said: “On seeing the houses of Israel when inhabited, one says: ‘Baruch ata Hashem, Elokeinu Melech Ha’Olam, matziv gevul almana‘ (“Blessed be He who sets the boundary of the widow”) (Berachot 58b, S.A. 224:10). The intention of this blessing is to thank God for returning Israel to their land.

After transgressing God’s commandments, we were exiled from our land and ridiculed and scorned among the nations – akin to a widow, wandering around broken and lonely, without any prospect of returning to our borders and building our house; Hashem took pity on us, returned us to our land so as to build houses there, inhabiting them with serenity and confidence. 

Satmar Crazies rule that even on a bris they must say Tachnun on "Hai Iyer"

The prayer called Tachnun that is said every day except Shabbos and Yomim Toivim, has additional exemptions that are clearly outlined in the Shulchan Aruch. 

One of those exemptions is if someone makes a bris. The Shulchan goes as far to say that all minyonim of the building that hosts the bris shouldn't say Tachnun!

Now, Satmar and some other Chassidim don't say Tachnun on friday, because it is Erev shabbos. This minhag is not mentioned in the entire Shulcha Aruch and it's "nosei keilim." Some Rabbi made this minhag up, or he forgot to say Tachnun on friday and the Chassidim saw this as a sign to to start their own halachos!

The poster above distributed to all Satmar Kehillos orders them all to say Tachnun on friday even if their made up minhag is not to say, in the event that "haei iyer" the 5th of iyer falls on a friday!
The notice states that even if there is a bris in shul, they must say Tachnun in all the minyonim!

"Hei Iyer" is the designated date for the State of Israel's Independence Day, Yom Hatzmaot!

Most erliche Jews don't even remember this fact, but every single Satmar Chusid even those that are still breast feeding know when hei iyer is!
But since the Satmar Chassidim are by in large ignorant, so they missed the fact that when hei iyer falls on a friday then Yom Hatzmeot is celebrated one day before ....on Thursday!
So this year the Satmar ignoramous' all violated their own made up halacheh and said tachnun on friday!

Hashem has his own ways and had all the Satmar boychicks say tachnun on friday, like the Shulchan Aruch rules!
Ma Rabu Maasecha Hashem!

Ger shuts down two shtiblach because congregants won't follow Ger rules on Smartphones!

Two Gerer Shtiblach, geared towards 35 year olds and younger, one in Bnei Brak called "Shtibal Abrabenel" and one in Ashdod, were shut down by the higher echelons of Ger, because they refused to follow takanos!

Mispallelim that showed up on Shabbos morning found the doors shut and had to find other shuls to daven in!

Bechadrei Chadorim reports that the congregants of the Shtiblach refused to adhere to the rules prohibiting smartphones!




התקנות המחמירות בחסידות גור: בעקבות הכנס נגד פגעי הטכנולוגיה, נסגרו השבת מספר שטיבלך - בתי חסידים של גור, שמתפלליהם סירבו לתקנות, כך נודע ל'בחדרי חרדים'. 

השטיבלך נסגרו, לאחר שמספר אברכים המתפללים בהם, לא החליפו למכשיר דלתא מובייל, כפי שאושר בכינוס החירום. 

ל'בחדרי חרדים' נודע, כי המתפללים טוענים כי הם מחזיקים במכשיר מוגן, אך בחסידות גור לא מאשרים את השימוש במכשיר שכזה. ההחלטה הרשמית - כפי שהועברה לחסידים בכינוס בירושלים, שהחלטותיו פורסמו לראשונה ב'בחדרי חרדים', היא חד-משמעית וללא הנחות. 

השטיבל הראשון שנסגר הוא 'שטיבל אברבנאל', 'בית המדרש בית אהרן אריה' ברחוב אברבנאל 107 בקרית הרצוג בבני ברק. השטיבל היה נעול השבת על מנעול ובריח, והמתפללים התפזרו בשאר בתי הכנסת בעיר. מדובר בבבית כנסת המיועד למתפללים עד גיל 35. 

שטיבל נוסף שנסגר הוא בית החסידים ברובע ו' באשדוד, שגם הוא מיועד לצעירים. גם הוא היה סגור השבת עד להחלטת הנהלת המוסדות, נוכח אי שמירת התקנות שנקבעו, על ידי חלק מהמתפללים החברים בשטיבל. 

בנוסף ננקטו עיצומים נגד אברכים בשטיבל של בית החסידים, ברחוב רבי עקיבא 68 בבני ברק. 

תוך כך, בני האדמו"ר, הרה"צ רבי נחמיה אלתר והרה"צ רבי ישראל מנחם אלתר, שהו בשבת בניו יורק, לשבת חיזוק והתאחדות במלון באלי יחד עם מאות מחסידי גור. השבת מתקיימת, במסגרת הנחלת התקנות גם לחסידים בארה"ב. 

תחילה דובר כי השבת תתקיים בראשות הרה"צ רבי ישראל מנחם, יו"ר מכון פאר מקדושים, אך לאחר בעיה בויזה, הוזעק האח רבי נחמיה. לבסוף הבעיה סודרה, וכך נהנו החסידים משבת בראשות שני האחים.

Top NYPD Cop Commits Suicide over Reichberg and Rechnitz Investigation !Warned Pals To Cut Ties With Orthodox Jewish Community

Groiseh Tzuris ...Chillul Hashen sh'ein kamohuh

The NYPD officer who took his own life on Friday afternoon had reportedly taken steps to distance himself from some members of Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community according to a New York Post report.

 Inspector Michael Ameri, commanding officer of the NYPD’s Highway Patrol, was found in his unmarked police car on Friday afternoon. 

The 44 year old divorced father of a teenage son apparently took his own life near the Bergen Point Golf Course three miles from his home in West Babylon according to The Daily News. 

Police said that Ameri, who had been with the NYPD since 1993, died of a gunshot wound to the head and that no suicide note was found at the scene.

It was during his tenure as the commanding officer of the NYPD’s 78th Precinct, which includes both Gowanus and Park Slope, that Ameri first met Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Park Slope resident.  Ameri was photographed chatting with the mayor and his wife at the 2014 Pride Parade in Park Slope and de Blasio released a statement expressing his sadness at Ameri’s passing.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time,” said de Blasio.

Sources said that many in the NYPD, including Ameri, have been particularly worried about the corruption probe.  Ameri’s name surfaced in the ongoing probe in early April but at the time, the career cop did not appear overly concerned. 

He had been interviewed twice by investigators about having possibly given preferential treatment to Jeremy Reichberg and Jonah Rechnitz.  Officers from the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau raided the Highway Patrol Unit office on Thursday in connection with the investigation, taking police escort logs from the office.

The corruption probe is said to be concluding soon, with possible criminal charges and other changes expected at high levels within the NYPD.  One source said that Ameri might have been facing departmental charges but not criminal ones.

Ameri took over as commanding officer of the highway unit in July 2014, bringing with him a close friend from the 78th Precinct, Lieutenant Michael Fargo.

Firefighter put out fire in Meah Shearim and get thanked with smeared PLO Stickers

One of the offending stickers

The Meah Shearim residents are experts in "hakaras hotov"

and were eager to show it to the firefighters that came to extinguish a fire in one of their homes!

They went and shmeared PLO stickers on the fire trucks!

I know the e-mails I'm going to get ....

 "it's only a bunch of crazies" ...

"don't include all the residents, they are all tzaddikim"

To that I answer, "this is unacceptable, and if they know who these guys are and stand by and do nothing, they are all guilty! Absolutely!

I stopped shopping in their stores years ago .....I do go to my favorite stores in Meah Shearim and tell the owners " sorry, but I cannot support terrorism"

Firefighting crews that worked on Thursday evening to put out a fire in an apartment located in Jerusalem's Meah She'arim neighborhood were surprised to find anti-Israeli stickers with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flag stuck to their fire engine.

Making the incident all the more troubling is that it took place on Israeli Independence Day.

One of the stickers read "Jews are not Zionists" in Hebrew, Arabic and English, with the PLO flag in the background.

The stickers had especially strong glue, and the crews were force to spend a long time trying to remove them until they finally succeeded in doing so with high pressured water from the fire engine's pumps.

The incident comes after a similar provocation on Israeli Memorial Day, when anti-Zionist haredi extremists from Neturei Karta hung a huge sign in the center of Meah She'arim presenting haredim who enlisted to the IDF as fallen soldiers.

Police forces were dispatched to remove the sign.
