Borough Park Pervert Arrested After Targeting Boys In Stolin Shul

I feel like our children aren't safe anywhere

A Borough Park resident who made allegedly suggestive comments to three young boys was arrested Thursday night and charged with three counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child.

Police said that 59 year old Menachem Tyk of 1415 47th Street reportedly left notes in the tefillin bags of two boys while they were davening at Congregation Aron V’Yisroel Stolin on 16th Avenue over the past two weeks, and made direct comments to a third.

In the first incident, which took place on March 19th, Tyk allegedly left a note for a 15 year old boy, that read “Please call me. It’s very important.”
The note also included Tyk’s phone number.
When the teen called the phone number a voice said, “I like the way you daven.  Meet me at my house.”
A 13 year old boy told police that the note that he received on March 24th had Tyk’s phone number and the words “Call me. It’s important.”  When the boy placed the call the person who answered asked him if he “touched himself” and then hung up.

And a 14 year old boy reported that Tyk approached him three times while at the synagogue on March 26th and invited him back to his home.  Tyk reportedly told the boy he would remove his clothing and “pet him everywhere.”
Tyk, a known figure at the Bobov and Emunas Yisroel synagogues in Borough Park, was arrested and arraigned on Thursday night.
He has two prior arrests:  one in 1986 for patronizing a prostitute and a second in 1988 for assault and criminal possession of a 
weapon.
Tyk lives alone and at least one neighbor seemed surprised by his arrest, as reported by The Daily News (http://nydn.us/2nDfyer).
“I would never believe he was a child molester,” said Zissy Twersky. “He talks to all the boys in the building, but nothing more than a friendly hello.”

Child Molestation and Calling for the Murder of Fellow Jews by Chareidim


It is nothing new that certain elements among our fellow Jews want to have nothing to do with the draft into the IDF. 

They have found multiple ways to show their displeasure and, in doing so, to disrupt the public thoroughfares , cause severe damage to public property, inflict bodily harm on security personnel and other actions–all in the name of G-d.

A subset of this population  is a group of fringe elements, who have now gone even further, beyond any terrible actions to date. 

Carrying signs that declare that one must resist the draft to the point of יהרג ואל יעבור (better to choose death than to “transgress”), this group (known as the Jerusalem Faction, among others) has decided that drafting into the IDF is akin to the three sins for which one must forfeit his\her life: Idolatry, murder and immorality.

If that was “all” that they did, then, Dayenu…but wait, there’s more!

Public declarations from these individuals have been made, in the name of Jerusalem Faction leader Shmuel Auerbach, to resist enlistment “until the last drop of blood.” If that phrase sounds familiar, it should. It is nearly the very same words used by our mortal enemies, Hamas, the PA, etc. They,too, call for defending Al Aksa “until the last drop of blood.” So, apparently, this whole draft issue is worth bloodshed OF FELLOW JEWS!

And if that was “all” they did, Dayenu…but wait, there’s more!

Leaflets calling for the death of Maj. Yaakov Roshi were strewn outside of his parents’ house in Petach Tikva, representing an escalation in the campaign of harassment and intimidation against haredi soldiers and their recruiters, the Behadrei Haredim Hebrew news site reported.

These leaflets were left outside of the house with the phrase, “G-d will break the arm of the wicked,” and calling Roshi and his colleagues “hunters of souls.”
“Therefore, the great Torah scholars instructed that one should do the same as our forefathers did when a wicked person rose up against them, to cry to the Creator of the world that He should spare and comfort us and remove sins from the earth,” the letter continued.

“And in all places, they will pray that the memory of his name will be in disgrace, Yaakov Menachem Ben Naomi, and they will say about him what is written in Psalms, Chapters 10 and 109, about the loss of the wicked, and the Lord will hear our prayers and save us from the wicked Yaakov Roshi, may his name and memory be blotted out,” the letter concluded.

The prayer that an individual’s name and memory be blotted out is reserved by normative religious Jews for perpetrators of genocide against the Jewish people, such as Haman and Hitler. 

According toBeHadrei Haredim, a haredi news site, the prayer for the death of a fellow Jew crossed a new red line and showed that “anything goes” in the fight against enlistment. (Arutz-7)

And if that was “all” that there was to report, then, Dayenu. But wait…yes, sadly, there is much more!

On Monday, thanks to an ongoing undercover investigation, the Israel Police arrested more than 20 Jewish ultra-Orthodox men as suspected sex offenders whose alleged crimes were known to their insular communities but concealed from the authorities.

The twenty-two men, aged 20 to 60 and from communities in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Beit Shemesh and  Beitar Ilit, allegedly committed sex crimes against women, youths and children from their communities over the past two years, police said. (Ynet)

Another horrific case of a community protecting pedophiles, rapists and those who prey on women and children. Once again, the police expose communities with a mindset that one must sweep under the rug all the dirty little secrets; a mindset that protects the vermin of society, while prolonging the agony and pain of the victims.

And this is the part where some of my readers begin to chant: “Haredi basher!” And I say to all who declare that: GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND! I don’t care if the ones saying these things and doing these things are Dati LeUmi, Reform, Conservative or have nose rings and belly button piercings: 
CALLING FOR THE MURDER OF FELLOW JEWS AND ENCOURAGING THE ENDANGERMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN crosses every single red line that Judaism stands for.

No, these are not the acts of “Haredim.” These are acts of the lowest stratum of society. 

If I am bashing anyone, it is the leaders who say nothing; who protect the abusers; who encourage their followers to murder (yes, MURDER Jews). 

I am bashing every one of those who carry signs that going into the IDF is an issue of יהרג ואל יעבור.  To say that the actions of these people reflects all of Haredi society is merely a statement of ignorance.

Why do we accept this? 

Why do we not have massive counter-demonstrations against such horrific behavior?

 Why do we allow our Judaism to be hijacked by hooligans, miscreants, misfits and ne’er-do-wells?

While this post can be much longer, I will stop here, as I believe I have made my point.
The next step? Suggestions…ideas…actions?

Frum Meshiginer Claiming to be Moshiach Walks Around With His Wife's Decapitated Head in Teveria Gives New Meaning to "Burning the Chumetz"

Murder Scene

A man was arrested on suspicion of decapitating his ex-wife and burning the body on Wednesday in the northern town of Tiberias. According to eyewitnesses who spoke with Hebrew media, the man was seen walking in the street holding the victim's head. 


Police said they found the victim in her 30s burnt and headless in an apartment that was engulfed in flames on Nachmani Street in Tiberias.

The incident occurred at approximately 12 p.m. when police were alerted to a man walking in the streets with his clothes stained in blood and an apartment fire. The suspect was arrested shortly after police arrived to the scene.

An eyewitness told The Jerusalem Post's sister publication Maariv, that the man was seen in the street covered in blood and only later did they understand that he was apparently holding the woman’s head. “A young ultra-Orthodox man was walking around the street with his wife's head in his hands, covered in blood. No one understood what was going on and why he had so much blood on him. Only later did they realize he was holding the woman’s head.”

Maariv also reported that the man previously claimed he was the Messiah and visited a psychiatrist, who said he was not a public danger. 


Large police forces responded to the scene, located the suspect and then found the woman’s body in the apartment after firefighters were able to subdue the apartment fire. According to police the couple has no children.

“At 12:13 p.m. the MDA was informed about a dead woman with severe signs of violence. Paramedics determined the death of a woman in her 30s,” the Magen David Adom said in a statement.

Police are still investigating the incident and a gag order was placed on all details of the investigation and details of the suspect and the victim.









Sanity???? Men and Women Sitting Together?

Violent Crazed Auerbach Protesters Kick And Beat Woman, Call Her Names Until Rescued By Cops


This clip was played on Tuesday night on Channel 2 and other news outlets in Israel, when a woman had to be rescued from a pack of violent “Peleg Yerushalmi” protesters who kicked and beat her. 

She was called “Shiksa” and the police were called “Nazis” as they rescued the woman. 

Now watch below: Part one of the attached clip is a group of “Bochrim” from the “Peleg Yerushalmi” which is under the leadership of Bachelor Shmuel Auerbach, as they violently attack an Egged bus in Jerusalem on Tuesday night causing damage to the bus. The second part of the clip is where protesters from the Peleg Yerushalmi throw rocks at a police car which had to be escorted out of the area under heavy guard.

Wonder what the Bochrim do Bein Hazmanim? They don't open a Sefer.... they protest

There is a law in the State of Israel that you must register for the draft, period... you can then ask for a "petur" which is an exemption if you are enrolled in a Yeshivah .... 

ALL Gedoilei Yisroel have instructed Bochrum to register for the draft, and just this morning the Satmar Rebbe in Monroe agreed, and instructed Bochrim residing in Israel to register...

There is on guy, who is followed by thousands, Shmulei the bachelor, Auerbach who has defied all Gedoilim and instructed his sheep not to register ..... causing havoc and chaos on the streets of all Chareidie neighborhoods....

 These are protests are against the IDF, because the IDF has imprisoned those who failed to register for the draft. 
The leader, Shmulei, is an old geezer, who will never be drafted so it is easy for him to give orders that will never apply to him or his offspring (he doesn't have any r"l).

The Eida Hachreidis, headed by the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, who hates his brother R' Aron the Satmar Rebbe of Monroe, wants to continue his personal family fight and  has now officially joined the Auerbach fanatics to help disrupt civilian life in Yerushalyim .... The Eida Hachreidis is the "holy" "hashgacha in Israel, and even though they have been caught up in scandal after scandal with their fraudulent hashgachos, the Charaidim support them 100%......  

So if you have children staying in Israel for Pesach, rest assured they haven't opened a sefer, they  are busy hanging around those useless protests that block traffic, block ambulances, and block people from getting home, and will continue to eat Treif with the Eida Hachreidie Hashgacha.


Thousands of haredim are gathered this evening, Tuesday, on Jerusalem’s Malchei Yisrael Street, the main street connecting the haredi neighborhoods in central Jerusalem, for a protest defined as “the protest of thousands” against “the decree of the draft.”
The background for the protest is a number of arrests of haredi youth who did not show up to the draft office and were defined, as a result, as “deserters” by the IDF.
In addition to the central group of protesters on Malchei Yisrael Street, which has been closed to traffic, additional protesters are engaged in confrontations with police on Sarei Yisrael Street at the edges of the haredi neighborhoods, where they are intermittently blocking the Street.
The demonstration this evening is the first significant joint effort between members of the “Edah Haharedit,” an extremist haredi group cut off from the State and its institutions since the State’s founding, and the “Jerusalem Faction,” a haredi group which, after the death of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, broke off from the central stream of the Lithuanian haredi sector and functions under the leadership of Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach.
One of the speakers at the demonstration compared the State of Israel to the host of enemies of the Jewish people throughout the generations. “The first Prime Minister of Israel, whose name it is forbidden to mention, may his name and memory be erased, said that within 20 years there wouldn’t be a shtreimel [fur hat worn by some haredi men] here, and we are here today and this is our revenge. We will fill the jails. They won’t scare us,” he said. “We got past Pharaoh, we got passed the Spanish Inquisition, we got past Hitler, we’ll get past you, too.”

Artscroll Deliberately Eliminates Women from Children's Aggadah Even-though Women Played a Major Part of the Miracle of the Exodus


Deborah Klapper holds an AB from Harvard University and a Scholars' Circle certificate from Drisha Institute. She lives, learns, and teaches in Sharon, MA.

The ArtScroll Children’s Haggadah, by Shmuel Blitz, systematically eliminates women’s stories and their names from the telling of the Exodus and the history of the Jewish people. To accomplish this, the Children’s Haggadah bowdlerizes Torah and Talmud, consistently changing stories to remove female characters. In this way, it alters Torah to fit ArtScroll’s sensibilities while contradicting the word of God and the truth.

Needless to say, changing the Torah to fit one’s personal opinions is forbidden. A main point of Torah is that God tells us what the Torah is, not the other way around. 

In this case, the Children’s Haggadah also contradicts the Gemara, which declares that women are obligated in all mitzvot of the seder because “they too were part of the same miracle” (Pesachim 108a-b, Shulchan Aruch and Mishna Berurah Orach Chayim 472:14).

Falsifying the Torah is wrong. But this kind of falsification is also pedagogically disastrous. It undercuts our efforts to teach our daughters that Jewish tradition values them equally with our sons. It undercuts our efforts to teach our sons that their sisters are equal members of the Jewish people. It is frightening that this haggadah has been a standard resource in Jewish homes and schools for 17 years without anyone noticing its distortions.

Kippa Wearing David Friedman Sworn In As U.S. Ambassador to Israel


Long Islander David Friedman, President Donald Trump’s much-debated pick as ambassador to Israel.

Friedman, 57, a bankruptcy lawyer who served as one of Trump’s advisers on Israel during last year’s election campaign, has been an outspoken supporter of Israel throughout his life—particularly regarding the settlement movement, which he believes is not an obstacle to peace. Friedman, who owns a home in Jerusalem, also strongly supports relocating the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and plans to live at his Jerusalem residence instead of the traditional ambassador’s residence in Herzliya.
Yet throughout his Senate confirmation hearing, Friedman had struck a conciliatory tone, saying that he regrets “the use of such language,” including an Israel National News op-ed he authored last year that described supporters of the left-wing Jewish lobby group J Street as “worse than kapos.” He sought to reassure the committee members that he would be more tactful and diplomatic in his role as ambassador to Israel.el, in a 52-46 vote that largely fell along party lines, was sworn in wearing a traditional kippa.



Only two Democrats, Sens. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, crossed party lines to join Republicans in supporting Friedman.
Earlier this month, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved Friedman in a 12-9 vote that also fell largely along party lines, with most Democrats opposing his nomination over his lack of diplomatic experience as well as controversial statements he had made regarding liberal American Jewish groups.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Friedman on his confirmation, tweeting that he will be “warmly welcomed as President Trump’s representative and as a close friend of Israel.”
Stephen M. Greenberg, chairman, and Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman/CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued a statement saying they have “enjoyed a vitally important and mutually beneficial close working relationship with each U.S. ambassador to Israel since the founding of the Conference more than 60 years ago. We are sure that it will continue and be enhanced during Amb. Friedman’s tenure, and look forward to working closely with him as he takes up his duties in Israel.”
Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of Christians United for Israel, which says it represents more than 3.3 million pro-Israel Christians, called Friedman “the right man for this extremely challenging post.”


Satmar Rebbe of Monroe disses His Brother Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg and States Jerusalem Protests Create Unacceptable Chaos



So this Monroe leader of Satmar, the guy that was pro the Iran deal, and had his community write letters to Congress that they  not to attend Netanyahu's address ...will do anything to kick his brother to the curb.
Even if he secretly agrees with him ....

Just yesterday we posted that R' Zalman Leib, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg called for violent protests in Yerushalayim.....so the "Chuchim fin dee ma nistana" R' Aron, Monroe Satmar Rebbe stated that its not a good idea to block traffic ....

Not because he cares for another Jew....... not because he worries that some Jew will get to work, or get home late....... naaaaaaaaaaaaa....
It's because his crazed brother called for protests and backs the fanatic bachelor Shmuley Auerbach!

Here is what Sandy Eller reported in VIN
The Satmar Rebbe’s words came Monday morning after Shacharis and he noted that while Satmar forbids military service, it has never been the Satmar way for Chasidim to simply not register for the army. Instead, for decades Charedim have followed an established protocol that had them exempted from the army when they came to register.
“This was done during the time of the Divrei Yoel,” said Rabbi Teitelbaum, referring to Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, known to be a fierce critic of Israel and its military.  “Despite the Divrei Yoel’s opposition to the State of Israel, his talmidim always went to register for the army.  Reb Yoel never saw this as an act of zealotry or as expressing his approval of Zionism.”
The Rabbi noted that, the practice still continues today, and there is an organization that works closely with Charedim to help them receive their military exemption once they register for the army.
But a new group that has broken with that long standing tradition and are instead encouraging Charedim to shut down city streets with regular protests. the Rabbi said.
“These people are not zealots,” said Rabbi Teitelbaum.  “They are newcomers who have no understanding of how to fight against the Zionists.  We have waged war against the Zionists for more than 60 years but have never seen this kind of lawlessness and chaos.  The citizens of Jerusalem are living terribly difficult lives because of these people, and there is no one taking responsibility and authorizing this type of disruptive behavior.”
Demonstrators have continued to wreak havoc in Jerusalem in recent weeks, with protesters attempting to disrupt the Jerusalem marathon, a large event that drew 25,000 runners and thousands of spectators.  Police also clashed with Charedim who hung IDF soldiers in effigy on Purim
“People need to go to learn and to work, and entire roadways are impassable because of the protests,” said Rabbi Teitelbaum.  “A woman who is giving birth cannot get to the hospital.  These actions are irresponsible and cause every resident of Jerusalem to suffer.  There is no excuse for this type of behavior.”
Problems that affect the Charedi community are not unique to Israel, explained the Satmar Rebbe, noting that the recent issues that have arisen in regard to metzitzah b’peh have created enormous tension in New York.
“Yet it has never occurred to anyone to shut down the streets of Williamsburg in protest,” said Rabbi Teitelbaum.  “It would be easy to create chaos by shutting down the streets in New York City but no one would ever do it, yet in Jerusalem they do. Who is allowing this? It is unacceptable.”
The Satmar Rebbe also noted that he is very troubled by a recent increase in Charedi enrollment in the army.  He reiterated Satmar’s long standing opposition to military service and called on Charedi rabbonim to speak out strongly against joining the IDF. 
Faced with these issues, Rabbi Teitelbaum called for Monday to be a day of prayer and urged his followers to pray for the draft to be annulled and for the violence and disruption to end, but made it clear that he in no way supported those who have been promoting disruptive protests.
“Our prayers today should not in any way be considered as an approval of the actions of these misguided zealots and their divisive riots,” said Rabbi Teitelbau.  “Violence is not our way.”
