Skverer Rebbe To Undergo Open-Heart Surgery On Tuesday Morning
The Rebbe was flown to a hospital in Minnesota, where the surgery will take place.
The surgery is scheduled for 10:00AM ET.
Please say Tehillim for Dovid ben Trani.
The Skverer Rebbe has led his kehilla in New Square, NY since 1968.
New Square is the anglicized name of Skvira, a village in the Ukraine, where today’s Skverer Rebbe’s ancestors reigned. The New Square community in upstate New York was launched in 1957, when approximately 20 Skverer families moved from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, onto a 130-acre former farm in north Spring Valley, under the leadership of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Twersky, zt’l (1899–1968), late Skverer Rebbe, who arrived in the United States in 1950. Before the end of its first year, almost 40 families resided in New Square. In 1961, New Square became the first village in New York State to be governed by a religious group. Over the years, incremental annexations of bordering properties have increased its size. New Square’s population, according to the 2000 census, impressively increased by 77.5% between 1990 and 2000. Since then, the shtetl’s growth has maintained that increase.
New Square’s success motivated other chassidish groups to plan and build their own versions of a chassidish community outside the maelstrom of America’s large cities. Notably, Kasho, Nitra, Pupa, Satmar, Tash, and Vizhnitz have established insulated chassidish communities away from big metropolitan areas.
The community in New Square, Spring Valley, is populated almost exclusively by Skverer chassidim, who wish to maintain a chassidish lifestyle insulated from outside secular influences. The village is substantially self-sustained with its own businesses and shopping areas, primary and secondary schools, schools of higher education, as well as community, religious, and charitable organizations.
The village is essentially one community with a large synagogue serving its entire population.
Rabbi Dovid Twersky, the current Skverer Rebbe, was born in 1940. In 1958, he married Rebbetzin Chana, born in 1943, eldest daughter of Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager, zt’l (1917–2012), Bnei Brak Vizhnitzer Rebbe. Their offspring are: Rabbi Aaron Menachem Mendel Twersky, born in 1962, married in 1980 to Rebbetzin Chava Reizel, daughter of Rabbi Mordechai Hager, Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe; Rabbi Yitzchok Itzik Twersky, born in 1963, married in 1981 to Rebbetzin Malka, daughter of Rabbi Yisroel Hager and granddaughter of the late Bnei Brak Vizhnitzer Rebbe; Rebbetzin Hinda Twersky, married in 1982 to Rabbi Avrohom Yehoshua Heshel Twersky, son of Rabbi Chai Yitzchok Twersky, Rachmestrivka Rebbe in Boro Park; Rebbetzin Tzipora, born in 1965, married in 1983 to Rabbi Eliezer Goldman, son of Rabbi Yaakov Goldman, scion of the Zhviler chassidish dynasty; Rebbetzin Tzima Mirel, born in 1969, married in 1987 to Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Hager, son of Rabbi Yisroel Hager, Vizhnitzer Rav in Monsey; son of Rabbi Mordechai Hager, Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe (the Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe is both a brother-in-law and an uncle by marriage to the Skverer Rebbe); Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, born in 1973, married in 1992 to Rebbetzin Chana Yenty, daughter of Rabbi Yehshaye Twersky, Chernobler Rebbe in Boro Park; and Rabbi Chaim Meir, born in 1981, married in 2000 to Rebbetzin Rochel Dinah, daughter of Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Halberstam, Kiviashder Rebbe; son of Rabbi Moshe Halberstam, zt’l (1924–2011), late Kiviashder Rebbe in Williamsburg.

Palestinian Authority Names Square After Mastermind of Ma’alot Massacre
Mere days before two envoys from U.S. President Donald Trump were to arrive in the region to continue their pursuit of the elusive, “ultimate deal” for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the PA government in Ramallah named yet another square after a terrorist.
The newly inaugurated “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square,” is named after the terror leader who planned the attack that led to the murder of 22 children and four adults in the Ma’alot Massacre on May 15, 1974. This is just the latest example of the Palestinian Authority’s relentless glorification of terrorists.
This new square in Jenin is named after terrorist Khaled Nazzal, the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and commander of its military branch.
Nazzal was responsible for the Ma’alot Massacre, during which terrorists took school children and their teachers as hostages, and eventually murdered 22 children and four adults.
Terrorist Nazzal also planned an attack which resulted in the murder of four hostages in an apartment in Beit She’an (Nov. 11, 1974), and a shooting and grenade attack in central Jerusalem in which one person was murdered and 47 others were wounded (April 2, 1984).
The “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square” was inaugurated on this past Thursday (June 15, 2017) at a rally with Palestinian Authority officials, “under the auspices of the Jenin District and the [Jenin] municipality.” Participants included the Deputy District Governor of the Jenin District, and the DFLP in Jenin. Deputy Mayor of Jenin Mahmoud Abu Mweis spoke at the event and “emphasized that our leadership and our people will continue on the path of the Martyrs.” [Jeningate, independent Palestinian Authority news website, June 15, 2017]
On the monument to the terrorist Nazzal at the new “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square” in Jenin, the text read:
“Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square
“We must guard the flowers of the Martyrs (quote from song by Palestinian Authority poet Mahmoud Darwish)
“1948-1986, for a free Palestine”
“Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square
“We must guard the flowers of the Martyrs (quote from song by Palestinian Authority poet Mahmoud Darwish)
“1948-1986, for a free Palestine”

Reuter Uses The Word "Terrorist" When It Comes To Killing Arabs Only, Will Not Use It When Arabs Murder Others
Crazy ... isn't it? ....
Reuters has a SHIT'ah that it never uses the word "terrorist" when it comes to Arab Muslims beheading and murdering Jews and Christians ....
but today I noticed that they had no problem using the word "terrorist" when a guy drove his van into some Arabs!
I noticed something else ...usually when Arabs kill, you have to wait days to find out what the nationality of the murderer is? It takes months sometimes to find the "motive."
This morning I found out the nationality, race and his motive ...all in one full sweep within the hour.
Also when an Arab murders, the media writes "alleged" but notice in the article below...... nothing is "alleged" .... its all fact !
from Reuters (red letters by DIN)
"A van plowed into worshippers near a London mosque in the early hours of Monday, injuring 10 people, two of them seriously, in what Prime Minister Theresa May said was a sickening, terrorist attack on Muslims.
The vehicle swerved into a group of mainly North and West African people shortly after midnight as they left prayers at the Muslim Welfare House and the nearby Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, one of the biggest in Britain.
The driver, a 47-year-old white man, was grabbed at the scene by locals and pinned down until police arrived.
The man was not named by police. He was held on suspicion of attempted murder which was later extended to preparing or instigating terrorism, including murder and attempted murder.
After being seized, he said he had wanted to kill "many Muslim people," one witness told journalists.
Now read in the very same article and notice that when it comes to Arabs, Reuters omits the word "terrorists" and replaces it with the word "militants"
The latest incident took place just over two weeks after three Islamist militants drove into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed people at nearby restaurants and bars, killing eight..
A suicide bombing at a pop concert in Manchester, northern England, in May also killed 22 people, while in March, a man drove a rented car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London and stabbed a policeman to death before being shot dead. Five people were killed in that attack.

Mishpacha Magazine Writer Chareidi Mother Of Eight Falls To Her Death From Jerusalem Hotel
Mrs. Chana Horowitz A”H was identified as the 46-year-old chareidi woman who fell to her death from a Jerusalem Ramada Hotel room.
Baruch Dayan Emmes: Mrs. Chana Horowitz A”H, 46, the mother of eight, fell to her death from the Jerusalem Ramada Hotel on Monday morning 25 Sivan 5777. When EMS units arrived, they found her in traumatic arrest.
It is reported that today is her father’s fourth yahrzeit, Rav Shlomo Alexander HaKohen Davidovich z”l. Adding to the family’s tragedy R”L, is the petira of her brother Rav Menachem Davidovich last Shabbos.
The nifteres’ husband is Belzer Chossid Rav Asher Horowitz, who publishes the weekly “דעה ברורה” Torah sheet on daily halacha. Mrs. Horowitz was employed by Mishpacha Magazine, and she was an editor of the ‘בתוך המשפחה’ Magazine.
She is survived by her husband and eight children, most still not married.

Mixed Weddings Cause SIDS ....R' Mutzafi Says
Doctors throughout the world are ecstatic that a cure to SIDS has finally been found!
Mixed Weddings!
Harav Hagoen HaGodol Hatzaddik Mutzafi, after keeping this cure a secret for many years, has finally revealed why infants are dying in their cribs ......
Chareidim are wondering why he allowed thousands of infants to die all these years, and have parents of these children suffer so much, when he had the cure all along!
Thousands of his followers are calling him for the numbers to Thursday's lottery......
HaGaon HaRav Bentzion Mutzafi during a shiur related to cases of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) deaths in Eretz Yisrael. He feels this is the result of mixed weddings, leading to such and other yisurim.
Earlier in the week the rav was asked by one of his talmidim about attending a mixed chasenah, and if one may sit at the meal during such an event while mixed dancing is taking place. (In this case, “mixed” refers to men and women together, without a mechitzah).
The rav responded “How does one dare to permit this Torah prohibition of ‘Don’t go after your heart and after your eyes’ (ולא תתורו אחרי לבבכם ואחרי עיניכם). The Gemara says if there is only one path and one passes a place of pritzus, he is a ‘rosha’, and one should be killed rather than violate this.
The rav said that “this is why there are SIDS deaths and why in the past weeks children have died of stoning, burning, killing and choking (בסקילה, בשריפה, הרג, וחנק) Hashem Save us!”

מרגלים . תשע''ז Meraglim 2017
As the Baalei Mussar say: "there are no coincidences."
This past week, Parshas Shlach, the parsha of the Meraglim.......Satmar Meraglim (Spies) congregated in Barclays Center in Brooklyn to protest a non existent IDF decree to draft Yeshiva Boys ....
There is no such rule or decree, and this narrative was all invented by the Satmar Meraglim.
In Parshas Shlach, Hashem tells Moshe שלח לך אנשים " Send Men (to spy) "
Rashi writes on the word אנשים "Men" ....... that they were "respected and were righteous" at the time that Moshe chose them!
So who were these men?
They were the leaders of the Jewish people! Each one was a leader of his tribe..... they were respected and were basically Tzaddikim!
So how did these leaders that turned Meraglim look like and how did they dress?
Well let's see what R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l said in Parshas Shlach 1967 about Dasan Va'veerum, the two rashaim (evil people), that constantly antagonized Moshe..
(see Sheemu Dvar Hashem page 53 track 35)
R' Yoel quotes the Divrei Chayim
"You shouldn't think that Dasan Va'veerum shaved, .........Dasan Va'Verrum .........wore white bekeshas"
So here we have a direct quote from the Satmar Rebbe, that the two reshaim wore chassidic garb.
The Rebbe was trying to tell us that we should not be impressed and think that one that wears Rabbinic or Chassidic garb is a Tzaddik .... he could actually be a Rasha!
Now we know that those Jews that were in Mitzrayim and didn't want to go to Eretz Yisroel died in the plague called "Choshach" "darkness."
Dasan Va'Veerum apparently wanted to go to Eretz Yisroel; we know that because they survived the plague.....
So if we extend this logic,...... Dasan Va'Veerum, the reshaoim were in a far greater madregah than the Meraglim who spoke Lashan Harah against Eretz Yisroel and wanted to remain in the dessert.... because they, Dasan Ve'Veerum loved EretzYisroel and wanted very much to make Aliyah!
So from the Satmar Rebbe's words, one can logically deduce that the Meraglim from 3,500 years ago looked like the Rabbis in the photo above that attended a protest against a made up scenario just to speak Lashan Hara against Eretz Yisroel on Parshas Shlach, no less.
Now let's examine who the Meraglim spoke against ..... besides speaking against the land itself, they spoke Loshan Hara against the inhabitants .... the Canaanites!
''אפס כי-עז העם .
According to many commentaries ...the Meraglim were bad mouthing the inhabitants saying that they were "Az" "Arrogant"
According to many commentaries ...the Meraglim were bad mouthing the inhabitants saying that they were "Az" "Arrogant"
So what kind of people were the Canaanites? ....
They were the most evil people on earth, and Hashem subsequently ordered Yehoshua to annihilate them ..... yet the Meraglim were punished because they spoke about evil people that lived in Canaan ... not even yet in Jewish hands!
What was their punishment? They all died and never got a chelek in Olam Haba!
All Jews over 20 Years Old with the exception of Yehoshua and Caleiv never lived to enter Eretz Yisroel!
The Meraglim of 2017 in above photo weren't G-D forbid speaking against the Arabs that just this Friday murdered a 22 year-old police officer ...... nope!
The Meraglim 2017 in the above photo dressed like Dasan Va'veerum, weren't protesting about a legitimate beef that they had (and even if it was legitimate they are prohibited to speak about any Jew living in Eretz Yisroel, be he religious or non-religious) Nope!
The Meraglim 2017 in the above photo, dressed in similar Chassidic garb as the Meraglim from 3,500 years ago, invented a false story about the IDF and were speaking Loshon Harah against their Jewish brothers and sisters living in Israel!
The most atrocious part, is this week's headline of the Satmar Yiddish weekly called, Der YID, which reads mockingly
מי לד' אלי'
"Whoever is for Hashem Should Come to Me"
These 2017 Meraglim now have the Chutzpah to put Hashem in their evil scheme of bad mouthing over 6 million Jews living in the land that Hashem gave us...
These 2017 Meraglim now have the Chutzpah to put Hashem in their evil scheme of bad mouthing over 6 million Jews living in the land that Hashem gave us...
The Forward Prints Ad that Supports Murderer of Jews
The decision by the Jewish weekly newspaper The Forward to publish a paid advertisement supporting imprisoned Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti is being questioned by some editors of other American Jewish newspapers.
The full-page ad appeared in The Forward’s June 2 edition. It was sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a controversial organization that supports the BDS movement and is described by the Anti-Defamation League as the largest “Jewish anti-Zionist group” in the U.S. The ad featured a statement by Barghouti calling for more privileges for jailed terrorists, and charging that Israel’s arrest and prosecution of Palestinian terrorists is “unlawful” because it constitutes “forcibly transferring Palestinian civilians into captivity.”
The ad also included an illustration of Barghouti flashing a V-for-victory sign beneath the slogan, “Palestine Will Be Free.”
In a “Note to Our Readers” on The Forward’s editorial page, Publisher Rachel Fishman Fedderson wrote that when the ad was submitted, “it gave us pause” because JVP’s text identified Barghouti only as the leader of a recent 40-day hunger strike by Palestinian terrorist prisoners, without noting he was convicted of murdering five Israelis.
The Forward’s official advertising policy states it will not accept an ad if the text is “intentionally misleading or contains known false statements.” JVP Media Coordinator Naomi Dann told JNS.org that The Forward “had no issues” with the content of the ad. While JVP was not asked to change the text, The Forward did require it to include a disclaimer which stated, “The views printed here are not intended to represent those of The Forward.”
Fedderson explained in her note to The Forward’s readers that “despite our reservations,” she and her colleagues decided to publish the ad because “mass media itself is on the firing line, and freedom of expression is under pressure from our own government.”
Yet some other editors disagree with the argument that free speech is the issue.
“Freedom of expression is indeed a vital American value, one that this publication cherishes,” Sue Fishkoff, editor of J. The Jewish News of Northern California, told JNS.org. “But it has nothing to do with whether or not a publication chooses to run a particular ad. While I respect The Forward’s decision to accept this ad, we at J. would not have.”
In view of Barghouti’s murder convictions, “an ad supporting his hunger strike” would be “antithetical to our mission,” Fishkoff said.
“Like The Forward, the Detroit Jewish News believes that freedom of expression is of paramount importance in times like these. But our first concern is for our readers, who would be greatly offended by this particular ad,” said Jackie Headapohl, the newspaper’s managing editor. “If it were submitted to us, we’d suggest that Jewish Voice for Peace place this ad somewhere else.”
Several editors said they reject certain types of advertisements. Alan Smason, editor of the online Crescent City Jewish News, told JNS.org he would not accept an ad supporting a “convicted murderer,” or an ad that was “lacking in truth or potentially libelous.” David Portnoe, editor of the New Jersey Jewish Community Voice, said he has rejected ads “that target Jews for conversion.”
Rob Eshman, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, said his newspaper refuses ads “from groups that advocate or incite violence, racism [or] conversion out of Judaism,” or ads that are “too sexually explicit.” While declining to say if he would have accepted the Barghouti ad because the question is “hypothetical,” Eshman added, “I think The Forward is a great Jewish newspaper with a long legacy of service to the Jewish community and the world.”
Dovid Efune, editor-in-chief of The Algemeiner, said there is “no amount of money that could convince us to run an ad like this. Frankly, it’s disgraceful. Hiding behind the freedom of expression concept, The Forward has engaged in a shocking abdication of moral judgement…The Constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to terrorists to be provided a platform by leading Jewish newspapers.”
Robert Cohn, former editor of the St. Louis Jewish Light and current co-chair of the American Jewish Press Association’s Committee on Ethics and Professional Standards, told JNS.org that if the question of the Barghouti ad “was brought to our committee, I might question the judgment of one who accepted such an ad, but would not want to be in a position to censure the publisher. If someone like [former Ku Klux Klan leader] David Duke wanted to place an ad, I would consider that to be crossing a line.”
Several other editors likewise raised the question of whether The Forward would accept an advertisement from other extremist groups. “If you substitute any other minority for ‘Israel’ or ‘Jews,’ I seriously doubt The Forward or another Jewish periodical would publish an ad advocating their annihilation or glorifying those who do,” said Ed Weintrob, editor and publisher of The Jewish Star of Long Island, N.Y.
“Would The Forward, in the interests of ‘freedom of expression,’ accept ads from white supremacists? To ask the question is to answer it,” Jason Maoz, senior editor of The Jewish Press of Brooklyn, told JNS.org.
Asked by JNS.org if The Forward would publish an advertisement from supporters of an imprisoned killer who targeted other minorities, such as Dylann Roof (perpetrator of the South Carolina church massacre) or Jeremy Christian (who was arrested in the recent Oregon train killings), Fedderson did not directly address the question, but reiterated that the newspaper “is dedicated to free speech within and beyond the Jewish community” and is “also committed to equal advertising access.”
Barghouti, a leader of the Palestinian Fatah movement’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades terrorist organization, was convicted in 2004 of masterminding the murders of Jerusalem motorist Yula Hen; Father Georgios Tsibouktzakis, a Greek Orthodox priest; and three Israelis who were killed in an attack at Tel Aviv’s Seafood Market restaurant. He was also found guilty of an attempted suicide bombing in Jerusalem’s Malha Mall. Barghouti did not contest the charges, but instead delivered a speech in court accusing the judges of being as bad as “those who drop bombs on Palestinian children.”
