Rechnitz the "askan" demanded kosher meals after mile-high hooker romp

Gabi Greco

The Orthodox Jewish businessman who allegedly ordered up a wild, sex-fueled plane ride to Las Vegas as a bribe for NYPD favors demanded rabbi-certified food for the return trip, The Post has learned.

Real-estate investor Jona Rechnitz — who shelled out $59,000 for the round-trip travel — requested kosher deli sandwiches and a fruit platter for the group’s flight to Teterboro, NJ.

But airline manifests show the same six passengers got “standard stock” meals for the outbound flight, where call girl Gabi Grecko said she had group sex with the men, including now-disgraced Deputy Inspector James Grant.

The Post revealed the details of the cross-country trip on Friday after speaking exclusively with Grecko, who is identified in court papers as “Prostitute-1.”

Grecko has said Rechnitz’s pal, Jeremy Reichberg, directed the kinky action on the plane.

“He’d call me a dirty slut while smacking my a- -,” she recalled.

The beginning of the end for the EU

Is the fact that Britain voted to leave the EU, good for the Jews??????

Absolutely!

The 27 counties that make up the EU became a rabid anti-Israel mouthpiece, and as any student of history knows;  countries that messed with Israel, became extinct...

Other countries are now contemplating leaving, and I hope that this will create a domino effect!

51.9% of Great Britain voted to skip out of the European Union. That's a bigger number than Americans who voted for Obama. And Obama went over there in April and lectured them not to do this. 

It's been a bad couple of days for Barack Hussein O. 
The Supreme Court shafts him on immigration. 
The British vote to leave the European Union. 
What's next?

Ben Ish Chai Speeches were found in Saddam Hussein's Intelligence Offices

Two volumes of the Ben Ish Chai‘s hitherto undiscovered droshos were printed for the first time this week in two beautiful volumes titled Birkas Horeiach. 

The manuscript was discovered by American troops among 2,700 seforim and tens of thousands of Jewish documents in a flooded basement of Iraq’s intelligence headquarters after Saddam Hussein’s downfall in 2003.

The Ben Ish Chai manuscript was taken to the United States where the partially damaged manuscript was restored and transcribed.

The Ben Ish Chai we have today is a collection of droshos Rav Yosef Chaim said during only two years of his half century incumbency in Baghdad. The new one evidently includes droshos that he said during earlier or later years, which were never heard of until now.

The Iraqi manuscripts also included a manuscript version of the Ben Ish Chai for parshiyos Ki Sisa and Pekudei which varied from our printed version at one point.

Etty Sims a Viznitz Girl becomes a Doctor

\

Growing up in the Viznitz community in Montreal, Etty Sims had little exposure to life outside of her close-knit Hassidic sect.

In this world, the highest career aspiration for girls was to teach preschool. So even when she became captivated by the fast-paced rhythm of hospitals and the life-saving work of medical clinicians as a teenager, Sims simply didn’t allow herself to dream of becoming a doctor.

“Where I grew up, anything outside that community wasn’t even a discussion,” explained Sims, 29, who graduated from Cooper Medical School of Rowan University last month as part of the Camden-based school’s 43-member inaugural class. “I can’t even say college was discouraged. It just wasn’t a possibility.”
With a few months in between medical school and the start of what is sure to be a hectic yearlong internship at Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School in Newark, Sims had time to reflect on how the impossible became achievable.

There was never a point when she broke off with her community. In fact, the mother of two— with another on the way in August—stresses that she grew up in a loving, supportive home and environment. And even as she no longer considers herself Hassidic, she is a religious Jew.

“I don’t like to put myself in a box,” observed Sims, who will continue after her internship in general anesthesiology at Jefferson University. “I’m Jewish in my own way.”

Sims grew up on stories of medical emergencies from her parents, both volunteers with Hatzalah, the emergency medical service organization that operates in Hassidic communities worldwide.

Soon after, a pivotal volunteer job came her way. An exhausted Israeli couple, staying in Montreal after the birth of their medically frail child, sought her out as a volunteer to stay with their infant overnight in the hospital. Sims jumped at the chance, and then worked out arrangements to stay with the baby overnight on a weekly basis.

By this point, Sims had started contemplating a career outside of the preschool realm. Still, becoming a doctor was unthinkable; after all, there was no such thing as a Hassidic woman doctor. She did know, however, of a woman physical therapist. So after graduating at age 16 with an associate’s degree in early childhood education, she took a job at an early intervention center, working to reinforce children’s therapies.

While her parents were supportive of her desire to study physical therapy, they stressed that she would need to marry before attending a co-ed college. That opportunity came when she met her future husband Jacob, a yeshiva student from Brooklyn.

Settling in Lakewood, NJ, the young couple found full-time jobs while researching her college options. But in the time between planning and enrolling at Ocean County College, Sims became pregnant with her daughter Lanna, delaying her start date until the January semester. Lanna was born in November and school started in January.

“I thought I’d be the dumbest person there,” she said. “I attended a Hassidic girls school and all these other people were coming from public and private schools.”

But not only were her grades stellar and the classes stimulating, her professors were beyond helpful.

Once she was in the groove of balancing school, work and motherhood, it was her father who pushed her to apply to medical school. She found Cooper through research, excited both by the idea of staying in New Jersey and the school’s mission to help an underserved community.

Still, the young woman who had never even heard of the MCAT was not confident that any medical school would take a chance on her. As it turned out, Cooper was open to outside-the-box candidates.

Cindi Hasit, a retired Rowan administrator, said Sims did not have any special needs beyond the bare minimal religious adjustments.

“She just seems to be extremely resilient and didn’t ask for a lot,” recalled Hasit. “The first freshman test, for example, was scheduled three days after Rosh Hashanah. So she couldn’t study Monday or Tuesday that week but the test was on Friday. She didn’t ask for anything special and managed to somehow study, pass that test, and she just kept going from there.”

Graduation last month was an emotional ceremony, with her parents, several siblings and their families coming down from Montreal to witness the event. Among her proudest accomplishments, she said, was being able to serve as a role model for her younger sister Basia, 14, and hopefully for other religious girls.

Fruchthandler & Yeshiva Chaim Berlin foregoes Bais Din and hands Huberfeld over to the SEC

The Torah does not differentiate between a person that steals $1.00 and a person that manages to steal $600,000.00, a thief is a thief!

But that same Torah commands us not to go to secular court. The third Rashi in Parshas Mispatim clearly equates going to secular court with worshiping idols!

The fact that the Satmar Rebbe brothers are in secular court, is not a surprise, because the minhag in Satmar is only to observe minhagim, the Torah is not in the equation.
The surprise is , that Yeshiva Chaim Berlin went to secular court, and that is a big chiddush!

But both the Litvaks and the Chassidim will prohibit anyone going to secular court when one of theirs, sexually abuses or outright rapes innocent children!
Why is it "mesira" when a dangerous rapist attacks girls or boys, but not "mesira" when its dealing with $$$$$$$$$$?

Israeli Police Searching for Sexual Abuse Victims of Yehuda Silber

Israeli never reveal the names of accused abusers until after trial, but the Court has made an exception in this case because of 47 year-old Yehuda Silber of Yerushalyimis a depraved sexual pervert!

He worked as a therapist for older sick people!

Police ask any victims of this fiend to call the police ASAP!

 משטרת ישראל קוראת בשנית לכל מי שנפגע/ה ממעשיו של החשוד להגיע ולהתלונן בתחנת משטרת מרחב דן (רח׳ ז׳בוטינסקי 122 ר״ג) או להתקשר למוקד 100 של המשטרה בכל רחבי הארץ.

Reb Heshy Jacob is Niftar

Reb Heshy Jacob, z”l, president of Chevra Hatzolah, askan, and celebrated baal chessed, was niftar Thursday morning. He was in his early 70s.

The niftar was one of the leading lay leaders of the Jewish community of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 

Jacob, 71, was a neighborhood power player with a hand in much of the communal and business life of in Lower East Side.

As Jacob explained his own influence in a 2013 interview with the Forward: “If you’re the person that [if] somebody has a problem he goes to [you] day and night [and] you take the time and effort to help them, then they think you’re in charge.”

Jacob was building manager of two of the four red-brick co-op developments on Grand Street that remain a center of Lower East Side Jewish life, and was chairman of the United Jewish Council of the Lower East Side, a community group. He was also a leader in both the citywide and neighborhood Hatzolah Jewish ambulance services.

“For many decades, he really was the face of the Lower East Side,” said Jacob Goldman, president of LoHo realty, a local real estate business. “It’s a change of an era right now.

He was privileged to have a close relationship with many Gedolei Yisrael, and had an especially strong bond to the Rebbes of Kopyczynitz — Harav Avraham Yehoshua Heschel, zy”a, and his son, Harav Moshe Mordechai Heschel, zy”a — considering himself an ardent chassid of both.

He is survived by, ybl”c, his wife, children, and grandchildren.

The levayah is scheduled to take place Thursday, at 1:30 p.m. at the Bialystoker Shul on the Lower East Side.

The Difference between a Spy and a Tourist

The above Dvar Torah appeared in the Maariv, it was written by Harav Gloiberman who  is the  Torah contributor to the newspaper!

In Chutz Le'aretz the parsha read in all shuls is Parshas Be'Haloischa, but in the State of Israel, the parsha this week is Shlach, the parsha that describes the tragedy of the "meraglim," the spies!

Translation by DIN:

R' Gloiberman writes that in  Parshas Shlach, the Torah talks about the 12 spies that Moshe sent to "tour" Eretz Yisroel and to inspect if the land is good or bad. 

The meraglim spent 40 days touring the length and width of the entire land and brought back a bad and gloomy report.

Let's imagine, business people, sending a messenger  on their behalf to visit a new country,to see if it pays to establish an industrial plant in that country. The messenger decides that there is absolutely no chance that this plant would succeed. 

Can it be  possible that the business people would punish the messenger because he brought back a derogatory report?

Doesn't this go against logic?

This question can be asked about the meraglim as well. Didn't the meraglim complete their mission? And if they did, why the horrible punishment? 

The answer, writes Harav Gloiberman, was that the meraglim weren't just satisfied with a description of what was happening and what they observed in the land, they added their very own conclusions  that  frightened the Jewish people,and brought them to despair!

The meraglim veered off Moshe's understanding of the mission. Moshe sent them to "tour" L'sur and not to spy, Merageil!

There is a major difference between a spy and a tourist! 

A spy is required to operate in a way that is cunning and must operate with deception, to be able to expose weaknesses of the enemy.

The tourist, on the other hand, just observes and is impressed and admires the land without any chicanery or having to be cunning!

Eretz Yisroel was and is currently a promise from G-D, a land of milk and honey, but the meraglim didn't operate from a point of trust in Hashem, only Calev and Yehoshua proclaimed "Oleh Naaleh" "we will go up and we will conquer and subdue  and breach the walls of the enemy."

They knew that Hashem's promise will be come true in its fullest way, and therefore they were not impressed with the enemy's strength.

It is incumbent on all of us to do, whatever we do, with trust and hope in Hashem and to  believe that the good G-D will keep his promise to the Jewish people, as He has done throughout our history

PLAIN & SIMPLE

If our Chazal said to the wise that it is a good thing to keep quiet, how much more does it apply to fools?.

Din:

There are Rabbonim with big beards, some of whom,  were moiser nefesh to keep those beards in "Bergen Belsen" concentration camp, but refused to be moser nefesh for Klall Yisroel to make Aliyah! 

They even discouraged Jews Pre WW2 who had visas in their hands to Palestine begging them,instead, to stay in Europe, dooming them to their horrible deaths!  

They even described those Gedoilim who advocated Aliyah as ...."Apikorsim and Meenim" 

They twisted the words of Chazal that say in Tractate Kesubois that "anyone living in Chutz L'aaretz is as if he has no G-d," Chas Ve'sholom..

Like the meraglim, Big Beards living in the comforts of Chutz L'aaretz, discourage Jews from making Aliyah,frightening them, proclaiming instead, as did the leader of a fanatical sect in Orange County .... the words of the meraglim:

"  Amalek dwells in the area of the south, the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell on the mountain; and the Canannite dwells by the sea and on the bank of the Jordan"

Let us all listen to the genuine Gedoilim, who like the Ari Hakodosh, The Bais Yosef, the Ohr Hachyim Hakodosh, the Ramban etc ...  sacrificed to  live in the land that Hashem promised  us .... a land of milk and honey ..a country with such beauty...

 let us correct the great sin of the Meraglim that brought despair and gloom to the Jewish people....

Do not listen to those Gedoilim that encourage you to stay in Chutz L'aaretz, remember the meraglim were also "gedoilim!"

Chareidim Wearing Burkas

This is now a common sight in Yerushalyim ..... I think that only the ugly ones are covering up,
