Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Stern: We Need Secular Subjects Too

Crazy stuff! A Rav, a Talmud Chachum, repeats what the Rambam paskens Le'halacha, that if you don't teach your child a trade, he will become a thief, ... gets  flack from Chareidim! They claim that he is speaking against Daas Torah! 
Sick world out there! 

Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Aryeh Stern Shlita speaks out regarding what he feels is the need to educate children with limud Torah in addition to secular subjects to permit them an existence. 

He feels the State of Israel cannot exist as chareidim believe, learning Torah exclusively, and while this is of paramount importance, one must learn secular subjects to earn a livelihood.

He feels it is most unfortunate that this is still “neglected” in the chareidi world, adding there is no reason for this. 

He uses himself as an example, seeking to explain that as one who is learning, the study of secular subjects does not detract from limud Torah, but the two work well together side by side at some point, adding “One needn’t give up on something but encourage this”.

Frum Rebecca Wasserstrum Dies from fall

Rebecca Wasserstrum 

Body recovered by medics 

 A 28 year-old woman from Flatbush jumped to her death from the George Washington Bridge on Sunday, officials reported.

It was around 4:15 p.m., when a man driving over the bridge said he saw the unidentified woman jump from the bridge, near the New York Tower, said Joe Pentangelo, a Port Authority Police spokesman.

The man got out of his vehicle and looked over the railing of the bridge down to the Hudson River, some 200 feet below, where he saw the woman's body in the river, Pentangelo said.

Offiers contacted the New York Police Department, whose harbor patrol unit pulled the body from the water, Pentangelo said, adding that the woman was pronounced dead a short time later at Mt. Sinai St. Luke's Hospital in Manhattan

Rabid Fanatic R' Shmuel Auerbach's Crazies Compare IDF to Auschwitz!

The ingrates living in Israel, have no hakoras hotoiv to the host country. They spread outright lies about the IDF comparing the IDF induction center to Auschwitz! It is obvious that the author of this pamphlet knows nothing about Auschwitz and I'll bet his grandfather was sipping a margarita, while my grandparents were being made into lampshades!

I know many children with Payos and tzizis that served with distinction ion the IDF and came out as very erlicah yiddin! 

A pamphlet distributed in recent days by extremists takes the opposition to chareidim entering the IDF to a new level. It instructs talmidim to refrain from reporting to IDF induction centers. It is being distributed freely and emailed, encouraging recipients to print and pass around.

The pamphlet contains many caricatures, all portraying the military in a most negative light, as the enemy, stating the IDF wants nothing good for chareidim. As such, prospective inductees are urged not to cooperate in any way whatsoever with authorities.

It reads “in the next hour, explore every smile and every sentence to give yourself a fatal diagnosis which can be compared to the screening at the gates of Auschwitz, which examined the condition of each boy and the slightest change could determine his fate to be sent to death”.

The pamphlet is not signed by any organization and unlike other publications in the past that were against the IDF and the State of Israel, it cannot be attributed to the anti-Zionist faction for this is clearly intended for bnei yeshivos and not as an internal Neturei Karta publication but possibly more aligned with the Yerushalmi faction of the litvish community headed by HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Auerbach Shlita. Rav Auerbach has encouraged his followers not to cooperate with authorities in any way unlike Gedolim Shlita from Bnei Brak, who instruct talmidim to report for an initial registration and giving over personal information.

The pamphlet instructs talmidim not to become “snitches mercenaries” by joining and that it is easier to spend three years in prison than in the military for the former has a family to return to as opposed to the latter, which will not. 

It speaks about how the military destroys the neshama of fathers and sons alike, all for making the error of agreeing to serve. The IDF is described as a “dark, cruel and cold place that leads soldiers to depression and total despair…”

Needless to say the pamphlet has already found its way to the mainstream media in Israel, depicting the chareidi tzibur in a most unfavorable light in the eyes of others as the IDF screening process is compared to Auschwitz.

Jacob Reichberg Managed to close down a lane in the Lincoln Tunnel

Cops shut down a lane in the Lincoln Tunnel so a visiting businessman could be escorted through it at the behest of a major de Blasio fundraiser, federal prosecutors charged Monday.

The outrageous move was revealed as part of damning criminal indictments unveiled Monday against four NYPD officers and the shady “fixer’’who allegedly arranged it.

The stunning arrests marked the first time cops have been charged in the sweeping 3½-year corruption investigation rocking the department and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office, which is being probed for its fundraising.

Federal prosecutors allege that the civilian behind the closure, Borough Park businessman Jeremy Reichberg, and his pal, real estate investor Jona Rechnitz, spent more than $100,000 on police bribes between 2012 and 2015.

“They got, in effect, a private police force for themselves and their friends — effectively they got cops on call,” Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said.

The criminal indictments alleged that in one instance, “Reichberg, using his connections in local law enforcement agencies, was able to arrange for the closure of a lane in the Lincoln Tunnel and a police escort down that lane for a businessman visiting the United States.”

It was unclear when the shutdown occurred, but law enforcement sources said the request did not go through official channels and there was no documentation of it, suggesting it could have been orchestrated in the middle of the night.

Obama listens to DIN and Orders FBI & DOJ to release new, full transcript of Orlando shooter's 911 call

Under pressure from DIN & Republican leaders, the Justice Department on Monday afternoon reversed itself and released a full, uncensored transcript of the Orlando terrorist's 911 call on the night of the massacre, calling the morning’s furor over omissions in the document “an unnecessary distraction.”

An earlier version of the transcript had deleted the word “Islamic State” and the name of ISIS leader “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.” Omar Mateen made the 50-second 911 call in which he claimed responsibility for the terror attack and pledged allegiance to Islamic State's leader at 2:35 a.m. The call came just over a half hour into the June 12 slaughter at gay nightclub Pulse.

“I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State,” Mateen says on the new transcript.

The old version had several words scrubbed and read: "I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted]."

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., called the earlier decision by DOJ and the FBI to release only a partial transcript "preposterous."

"We know the shooter was a radical Islamist extremist inspired by ISIS," Ryan said in a statement. "We also know he intentionally targeted the LGBT community. The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this, and why."

Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott also took aim at the edited accounting of Mateen's statements the night he killed 49 and wounded 53 more.

OBAMA REPLACES ‘ALLAH’ WITH ‘GOD’ IN EDITED ORLANDO TERRORIST TRANSCRIPT

Obama protecting Islam while attacking Christianity

The Justice Department replaced references to ‘Allah’ with ‘God’ in an edited transcript of the 911 call Orlando jihadi Omar Mateen made during the Pulse night club attack.

During the call, Omar Mateen made an Islamic prayer in which he said:

Praise be to Allah, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of Allah [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.

In comparison, the edited DOJ transcript says:

Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.

It’s obvious the Obama administration is doing everything it can to downplay the Islamic connection to the attack, all while demonizing Christians and gun owners.

“His very first words are the Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله‎‎, ‘In the name of Allah’), the Islamic prayer,” commentator Pamela Geller revealed. “It’s what terror-tied CAIR chants in every press conference and press release.”

“[The Obama administration] knew right away and they have been deceiving the American people ever since, protecting and defending the ideology they calls for our destruction.”

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the DOJ would remove references to Islamic terrorism from the transcript.

“What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” she said. “We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].”
