"New" American Gedoilim Meet With Satmar Rebbe Against IDF

B"H, there are no problems with Judaism in the USA ....no problems in Monsey, Lakewood, Monroe, Williamsburg and Boro Park.... there seems to be no problems with Teens overdosing and committing suicide ..... no problems with askanim in Lakewood taking Federal Programs ..... nope!

Rabbonim got together two weeks ago to declare that anyone Joining the IDF is a sinner ....

In the above clip, two askanim from Israel from the Peleg faction are trying to convince the American Rabbis that they should declare that yeshiva boys in Israel should not even register for the draft, and the Satmar Rebbe, R' Aron Teitelbaum will have none of that declaring one of the Peleg Askanim a "liar." Stating emphatically that there isn't anybody in jail who did the proper thing and registered .... "there are over 40,000 boys learning, and I challenge any of you to come with me to Israel and find one boy in jail."

What is interesting to note that they added new "Gedoilim" to this meeting! 
Rav Dovid Shustel, one the the 4 Lakewood R"Y, who is sitting on the Satmar Rebbe's left, and after mumbling something incoherently, the Satmar Rebbe says ...."wow that was a deep thought." 
R' Aron Schechter, the R"Y of Chaim Berlin, now a Satmar Tuchis lekker, sits on the Rebbe's right, and cannot put two words together. In the clip one can also see Rabbi Rottenberg, a rebbele who has a little shteeble in Monsey....now added to the Gedoilim list ...
Bobover 45 Rebbe is seen in the clip totally bewildered and looks like he just heard for the very first time that Israel has an army! 

The clip above is in Yiddish.... and even if you are fluent in the language ... you will be amazed to hear that these leaders cannot put two coherent words together .....
Its true that the clip was pasted together ..... and that some of the talk is cut in middle .....but still most of them are incoherent ....and that is a shame!!!
I wish I can unhear this ......I would have had more respect for them!

Chabad Emissary Steps In To Help Autistic Child During Transatlantic Flight

An encounter on a recent flight from Europe to America has caught the attention of the Internet.

On a flight back from Israel after chaperoning an a Mayanot Taglit-Birthright trip, Chabad-Lubavitch emissary Rochel Groner found herself in a unique position to help. An hour into an eight hour connecting flight from Europe, and after a three-hour delay before takeoff, a young boy with autism had a meltdown.

“You could hear his cries throughout the plane,” wrote Rabbi Bentzi Groner, who along with his wife Rochel co-directs the Charlotte, N.C. chapter of Friendship Circle and ZABS place, an upscale thrift boutique and employment training center for young adults with disabilities. A ‘meltdown’, which appears similar to an extreme tantrum, is a response in people with autism to sensory overload.“You could feel the tension among the other passengers,” he continued in a Facebook post .

The child’s parents seemed overwhelmed by the situation and despite there being no overt comments from other passengers “it was getting very uncomfortable,” said Groner.

The post and photos of the incident have already received thousands of reactions and has been shared more than 500 times.

“Don’t need to see Wonder Woman in the theater,” wrote one commenter, “Just drive on down to ZABS Place. She’s there every day!”

“This is the most beautiful story I have heard about in a very long time. We need more Rochels in this world,” wrote another.

“While most of the passers looked on with awe,” Bentzi Groner writes, “little did they know that for Rochel this is her life. At Friendship Circle, we’re taught that if we just offer our hand in love and acceptance, miracles will follow.”

R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe Distances Himself From His Own Newspaper "Der Blatt"

De Blatt, the Yiddish Weekly Newspaper of the Aronim, published a "Nasty" Headline this past week denigrating the Gedolim of Israel, specifically Harav Shteinman, asking its readers to harass them, because Israeli Gedoilim are of the opinion that all yeshiva boys must register for the IDF! 

Headline asks Jews living outside of Israel to harass Israeli Roshei Yeshivah

The law in the State of Israel is that all boys of age must register for the draft, but if they produce a "petur" which is an exemption if they are enrolled in a yeshiva, they are not drafted.....

However, the bachelor, R' Shmuel Auerbach, has ruled that eligible yeshivah boys shouldn't even register. His fanatical violent faction calls itself "Peleg" which means "separated" ..... meaning they consider themselves separated from the rest of the Chareidie world!

The Israeli governments arrests those eligible  for the draft, that don't register. There isn't anyone sitting in an Israeli jail that registered and had a "petur" and exemption.

R Aron Teitelbaum himself mocked  his own brother, R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, who backs the "bachelor," stating that there are over 60,000 Yeshiva students learning in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem, and there is no one sitting in jail? 

This morning a "Kol Koreh" was distributed in Kiryat Yoel, that the Headline of "Der Blatt" was not the opinion of R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Yoel, and denigrating Israeli Roshei Yeshiva is against his teachings.

Even though Der Blatt is his very own Newspaper!

Go figure!

 

Appeals court overturns conviction of Sheldon Silver

Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, once among the state’s most powerful elected officials, has had his conviction on corruption charges overturned by an appellate court.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction in a Thursday ruling, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year that narrowed the definition of bribery. The appellate judges found that instructions given to the jury in the Silver case were erroneous in light of the Supreme Court decision in the case of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. 

“We further hold that this error was not harmless because it is not clear beyond a reasonable doubt that a rational jury would have reached the same conclusion if properly instructed, as is required by law for the verdict to stand,” the Thursday decision states. 

The McDonnell case, decided after Silver was convicted in late 2015, provided a more limited interpretation of what an “official act” is, ruling that setting up a meeting, calling another public official or hosting an event do not on their own qualify as official acts. Essentially, the court was asked to opine on what constitutes corruption and what constitutes normal government action for a benefactor.

Silver was convicted of engaging in a two-track corruption scheme that padded his bank account with an estimated $4 million that prosecutors painted as bribes and kickbacks disguised as legal fees. Silver, who was of counsel for well-heeled Manhattan law firm Weitz & Luxenberg, was accused of helping steer state grants to a doctor who funneled mesothelioma patients to the law firm. Silver, who also did legal work for a separate firm that handled property tax assessment appeals, similarly was accused of receiving legal fees from real estate developers that had extensive business before the Legislature.

The Silver case was brought by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who also won convictions of former state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Long Island, and his son Adam. Skelos also is appealing his conviction.

Another Young Teenager Dies in Monsey

A 19-year-old Charedi, Yehuda Chaim Rubin, died tragically on Tuesday in Monsey, New York.

According to the Behadrey Haredim news website, Rubin was found dead in his apartment by friends. The friends called an ambulance, but the paramedics had no choice but to pronounce him dead.

The police took the body for an autopsy, the report said, and thanks to the work of the Misaskim organization, which safeguards the dignity of the deceased, the body was released, and Rubin’s funeral was held on Wednesday at the cemetery in Monsey. Jewish law prohibits autopsies, considered an affront to the dead, unless a rabbinic decisor rules otherwise, such as in the case of public danger from an undiagnosed and possibly contagious disease.

A friend of Yehuda Chaim told Behadrey Haredim, “I know him so well, what an incredible pain…my friends and I are simply shocked. He was such a good person, he always helped everyone in the store where he worked. After we did not hear from him for half a day, we tried to contact him, but without success. One of the friends called the rescue forces to the apartment where he lived, and unfortunately there was nothing they could do to save him.

Behadrey Haredim reported that Rubin’s family had lived in Israel in the past before moving to the United States several years ago.

Russian Lawyer Pictured with Obama Ambassador to Russia – 8 Days After Trump Jr. Mtg. VIDEO

Natalia Veselnitskaya was sitting with Obama’s Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul during a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, 8 days after cold-contacting Trump Jr. in Trump Tower.

That looks like Emin Agalarov sitting next to Natalia Veselnitskaya. He was mentioned in Donald Trump Jr’s statement this morning. Emin helped set up the meeting with Veselnitskaya.

Veselnitskaya was also connected to Fusion GPS, the DNC opposition research firm that produced the fraudulent and discredited Trump Dossier

So why was Veselnitskaya hanging out with Obama officials just days after her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.?

And why was Veselnitskaya given a privileged seat up front during the Congressional hearing?

And why did the then Attorney General Preet Bharara allow her into the US without a visa??????

  See her at the 0.48 mark behind Obama's Russian Ambassador at a Congressional hearing

See Photo Veselnitskaya has on her Facebook Page.... she carried this poster on the Women's March

Jewish Mother of 6 Thrown In Jail by Ohio Judge

An Orthodox Jewish mother of 6, who has been battling her ex-husband to allow her to raise her children in an Orthodox Jewish home, has been thrown in jail by an Ohio Judge. 

An Orthodox Jewish mother of six who was barred from speaking with her own children because she insisted on raising them in a religious home has been thrown in jail because she lacked the financial means to reimburse her wealthy ex-husband $10,000 in court costs as order by an Ohio judge. 

Julie Goffstein and her husband Peter Goffstein had been raising their boys as members of the Chabad community in Cincinnati when Peter Goffstein decided that he no longer wanted to live a religious lifestyle. 

Given an ultimatum of choosing between her religion and her marriage, Julie chose to continue living her life as a Jew and the Goffstein’s bitter divorce began to unfold in 2010. 

After hearing the testimony of 11 character witnesses and two court ordered evaluations, Judge Jon Sieve of the Hamilton County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas awarded full custody of all of the Goffstein children to their mother, specifically noting the importance of continuity for the boys who had been raised in an Orthodox home.

Nine months later, Peter filed for a reallocation of custody and within weeks Judge Sieve had reversed his decision, awarding Peter full custody of the four younger children, observing that Julie’s insistence on sending the children to yeshiva was not in their best interest. 

While Judge Sieve’s ruling allowed the children to remain in yeshiva, Julie was held responsible for paying their tuition, with Peter given the authority to make all of the children’s educational decisions. 

Over time, the situation continued to deteriorate, with Peter filing multiple lawsuits against his former wife and Julie moved with the two older boys to Crown Heights where they continued in yeshiva, while the four younger boys were sent to public school against their will by their father.

As the court battles continued, Peter Goffstein continued to keep the younger children shielded from both their mother and their Jewish heritage, allegedly chopping off one child’s payos, removing the boys’ yarmulkas and making them eat pork. 

Friends of Julie’s also reported that he smeared urine on one child’s face as a punishment for a religious observance and that Peter repeatedly bullied anyone who supported Julie’s mission of raising her sons in an observant home. 

Eventually the court forbade Julie from discussing any religious matters with her sons, and she was found in contempt of court for telling one son of her efforts to get him back into yeshiva.

While Peter is extremely wealthy, Julie’s financial situation is very bleak, having been stripped of all marital assets by Judge Sieve. 

His latest decision, holding Julie in contempt of court for being unable to reimburse her ex-husbands court costs and sending her to jail, seems to be the latest obstacle thrown at Julie simply because she has chosen to raise her sons as practicing members of the Jewish faith. 

Julie’s sons, ranging in age from nine to eighteen are living a life of turmoil, with the younger boys facing their father’s reported harassment and the two older boys now living alone in Crown Heights because of Julie’s imprisonment.

5 WAYS TO HELP 

200 French Jews Defy Satmar Rebbe's Bizarre Advice and Make Aliyah

Just last week R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg visited France and told French Jews not to make Aliyah ... the Satmar Rebbe follows in the footsteps of his great uncle , R' Yoilish, who instituted the now famous Minhag to advise people that are in mortal danger to stay put and not emigrate ....
the last time Satmar followed that Minhag, a half million Hungarian Jews got murdered......
but as the adage goes ... a nut is very hard to crack! 

Today 200 French Jews stuck their thumbs up his nose and basically told him to go eat schmaltz herring and kichel in the states!

Helbrans Hated Israel But The State of Israel Will Take Care of His Remains

Very very interesting! 

G-D has a sense of humor .....

This guy Helbrens who got killed under questionable circumstances in Mexico wrote a sefer that stated  that "Israel is a dangerous place to live" .........yet he gets killed in Mexico?

Turns out that the Zionists didn't have anything to do with his death.

The person who feared persecution of the State of Israel or of his enemies was not killed by his enemies .... The person who decided that it was a danger to live in the State of Israel and wished to destroy her, did not die because he remained in Israel.

In fact it was he who killed himself. He went to toivel himself irresponsibly in a dangerous river. 

What is even more ironic .... is ...that we would not be surprised that the State of Israel takes ownership of his body and the Israeli Embassy in Mexico and the Minister of Foreign Affairs arranges for his burial!  

Halbrens is an Israeli Citizen and that is the only citizenship he has!

This was also the case with the Satmar Chassidim that smuggled drugs to Japan ..... and the Zionist Foreign Ministry negotiated and facilitated their release (the Chareidie fake News Press reported that Askanim were involved)! 

And the Zionists helped R' Yoel Tetelbaum escape from the Nazis  during WW2

Hashem certainly has a sense of humor!
