Trump Debates Himself ....

Chuck Schumer Against "Illegal" Immigration and "DACA"

Yes, I know its from 2009 ..... but just listen to this liar !

Leading Democrat Chuck Schumer blasted illegal immigration in 2009 with speech that could have been written by Donald Trump. 

“The American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration,” Schumer explained at the conference. 

“We will only pass comprehensive reform when we recognize this fundamental concept.” “The following seven principles are all based on this concept and comprise what I believe to be the framework for a bill that can receive overwhelming and bipartisan congressional support,” he said. “First, illegal immigration is wrong,” Schumer declared, “and a primary goal of comprehensive immigration reform must be to dramatically curtail future illegal immigration.”

Bochrim beat the Hell Out of Each-other in Ponovezh Yeshiva

A long-standing quarrel in Bnei Brak's flagship Lithuanian-haredi Ponevezh Yeshiva exploded Saturday night, as a mass brawl erupted between rival factions in the dining room. Students threw chairs at each other, and sprayed each other with tear gas, causing tens of thousands of shekels worth of damage.

Police arrested eight for their role in the violence.

The fight was between the the supporters of Rabbi Shmuel Markovitz on the one hand, nicknamed the "haters," and Rabbi Eliezer Kahaneman's rival camp, called the "terrorists." The flagship Yeshiva of Lithuanian hareidi Judaism has been roiled by the power struggle between the two for over twenty years, and both sides observe an uneasy status quo, in which campus space in Bnei Brak is evenly divided between the two factions.

The current tensions started after one faction appropriated a new classroom for themselves, upsetting the delicate status quo. Students from the other faction subsequently defaced the classroom with derogatory graffiti.

The brawl broke out in the Yeshiva dining hall soon after, when a student from the "haters" faction shoved a supporter of the "terrorist" faction. The fight quickly spread to other parts of the campus, as students hurled furniture, deployed tear gas, and set off fire extinguishers.

Ponovezh is one of the top institutions in the haredi world, and the ongoing internal strife has been a black eye for the community. In 2015, a supporter of the "terrorist" camp brutally assaulted rival faction leader Rabbi Shmuel Markowitz, setting off a mass brawl between students that deteriorated into a full fledged riot which only ended after police arrested 30.

Gay Chavie Weissberger Gets Her Kids Back

A formerly Hasidic mom lost custody of her kids after coming out as gay — and was barred from even telling her youngest children about her sexuality, according to a first-of-its-kind Brooklyn court ruling.

The shocking decision was finally struck down by an appeals court in August, but only after months of legal wrangling.

The case “really shines a light on the tensions that exist between the secular world and an insular religious community,’’ top divorce lawyer Michael Stutman, who was not involved in the proceedings, told The Post on Tuesday. 

The saga began after Chavie Weisberger and Naftali Weisberger divorced in 2009, years after she’d told him she was attracted to women. Chavie was given primary residential custody of their kids, who were ages 2, 3 and 5 at the time.

But Naftali took her back to court in 2012 seeking sole custody on the grounds that she violated their agreement to raise them in a strict religious household.

He argued Chavie had “radically changed her lifestyle” since their divorce, coming out as gay — including to their eldest daughter — and living with a transgender man, court papers show. 

Naftali also complained that Chavie had allowed the kids to watch “a movie about Christmas,” let them participate in an egg hunt during a Purim party, gave them a book about having two daddies, cut their son’s sidelocks and came out to their oldest daughter, according to the documents

Brooklyn Judge Eric Prus ruled in 2015 that Chavie had violated the “religious-upbringing clause” in the couple’s divorce agreement and awarded Naftali sole legal and residential custody of their kids. 

Prus argued that the couple’s agreement had forced him “to consider the children’s religious upbringing as a paramount factor in any custody determination.” 

He ruled that Chavie would have her visitation limited — to supervised face-to-faces with her kids — if she didn’t comply with the religious-upbringing clause.

He added one more restriction: She had to keep her sexuality hidden from the two youngest kids. 

“During any period of visitation or during any appearance at the childrens’ schools, ‘the [mother] must practice full religious observance in accordance with the Hasidic practices of ultra Orthodoxy,’ ” court papers say. 

Chavie appealed the ruling and on Aug. 16 was granted full custody of her kids again.

The appeals court of three judges unanimously determined that Prus’ 2015 ruling lacked a “sound substantial basis” — and that it violated Chavie’s rights.

“A religious-upbringing clause should not, and cannot, be enforced to the extend that it violates a parent’s legitimate due-process right to express oneself freely,” the judges wrote.

“The weight of the evidence does not support the conclusion that it is in the children’s best interests to have their mother categorically conceal the true nature of her feelings and beliefs from them at all times and in all respects,” they added.

The mother must continue to keep a Kosher home and the children will attend Hasidic schools and practice full religious observance while with their father, the order reads. Her ex is allowed weekend visitation and additional visitation on Jewish holidays. 

She and her lawyers declined to comment. Her ex, reached through his building intercom, told The Post he was unavailable until “next year.”

Frummies Now Covering School Bus Windows So Children Can't Look Out!

A Chassidish Yeshiva in Williamsburg has taken Tznius to a new extreme; covering the windows of their school buses to ensure their young Talmidim do not Chas V’shalom glance at anything inappropriate on their way to and from yeshiva each day.

I hear, and it hasn't been confirmed yet, that the idea was from a pedophile, who will have cart - blanche to molest any child he wishes ...

Eida Ha'Chreidis "paint" a Chicken to look like a Brakel to Get a "Kosher" Psak

So you think that the  Eida Ha'chreidis went low to deceive the Chareidie public  to convince them that the chickens that they eat  is "trief" and not part of our Mesorah ... and market the unkosher bird, The Brakel, as the only kosher chicken and part of our Mesorah....????

Well they just went to a new low .....
They painted a regular chicken to look like The Brakel, and showed this real painted chicken to the Karlesbard Rav .....to get a kosher psak.... this according to the Hebrew Chareidie Blog, Bechadrei  Chadarim...

The Eida Hachreidis is a fanatical anti-Zionist group who attempted to feed the Jewish people Treif ..... all because of greed! 
Not only is the Brakel treif according to even their own Rabbi ..Rav Sternbuch, but it taste like vomit. Belgian farmers use The Brakel for its eggs only, they dispose of the meat ...dogs won't even eat it .
And this a Heimishe Hashgacha! G-D help us all!


The Karlesbard Rav screamed at them "Fraudsters" "You dyed the chicken!!!"

The Myth of Reform Judaism

Recent political activity by primarily Reform Jewish groups makes it important to clarify for the world of politics and the media who really represents the Jewish People.

 I will start by being fair and saying that the Nazis did not differentiate between Reform and Orthodox Jews. As a matter of fact, if you had only one grandparent who was Jewish you were sent to the gas chambers.

They killed us all. Both Reform Jews and Orthodox Jews fought as soldiers for America against the Nazis. 

During the Holocaust the Reform movement, led by Rabbi Stephen Wise, held sway in Washington. They did little to save their brethren. 

The Orthodox, led by Rabbi Aharon Kotler and Irving Bunim. saved tens of thousands. Now let's fast forward to today. 

Reform Judaism does not exist in Israel. It barely makes up 3% of the Jewish population. They are a myth in Israel and I maintain they are an overrated group in America. They make noise but are in point of fact a group on life support. They are constantly being propped up by the New York Times and other leftist media outlets.

They have empty Synagogues and are in dire straits. 

The story about the four Jewish organizations shunning the President was featured on the front page of the New York Times and may well have been manufactured by the media wonks at these organizations. The phone call that these organizations were supposedly backing out of was not yet even in play. It is a disgrace that Reform Jews would do such a thing after all the President has done to support Israel. 

The New York Times mistakenly said that "Mr.Trump is an unpopular figure with most American Jews, but has retained a well of support among the most religiously observant denominations in large part because of his views on Israel and Iran." Orthodox Jewish Groups have much more  on their minds than Israel and Iran, although those issues are important.

The main thing on the mind of Orthodox Jews is how best keep the Jewish People, including Reform Jews, alive and well. Survival is our main focus both here in America and in Israel. The Orthodox also believe they have an obligation to keep the world safe and morally enlightened. 

The Republican Party for the most part is a better match because of its stress on the family unit, respect of one's parents and elders, and respect for religion and its values. 

The recent letter by 200 primarily Reform clergy opposing Israel's ban on pro-BDS activists tells volumes about where the Reform movement is today. Israel has a legitimate concern that BDS is an existential threat. 

The four rabbinic groups' - including the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Rabbinical Assembly(Conservative Judaism), the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism - refusal to participate in a possible call with President Trump around the High Holidays is a further embarrassment. After all the President has done for Israel, these groups show insensitivity and ungratefulness. 

It is an outrage,  to be frank. 

Members from these groups did not vote for the President, were super cozy with President Obama, established J Street that even the government of Israel has called a thorn in its side, and have become more aggressive than ever in their political messaging. Had they been like this when the Holocaust was taking place, many more Jews would have survived. These groups acted as the Amen choir for President Obama and now have decided to become the Anti-Trump choir.

The "women of the wall" and the attempt to change the status quo of the Western Wall prayer practices has also been orchestrated by the Reform movement. 

The funding of these activities comes essentially from one man - George Soros. The Reform with a dismal 1.7 per family birth rate and rampant assimilation are failing miserably. 

The Orthodox, on the other hand, are growing rapidly both in America and Israel and thriving. Reform Jews do not represent Judaism's core values, nor do their leaders speak for the Jewish People. To pretend they do is a great myth that is in serious need of being busted.

American widow of Holocaust survivor to give $22 million to German zoo

What a crazy and sad story, a guy has 22 million dollars, no kids, leaves his money to a zoo, in the cursed country of Germany no less............ Hashem Yeracheim!

A New Jersey woman has pledged to donate $22 million to a zoo in Cologne, Germany, in memory of her late husband, a Jewish man whom she met when he was hiding from Nazis during World War II.

Elizabeth Reichert, 93, was born in Cologne and met her husband, Arnulf, during the war while she was working with the German underground resistance to the Nazi regime, she told ABC News.

The husband and wife were lifelong animal lovers and did not have children. So before he died in 1998, they decided to leave a substantial gift to the city where they had met and which held a special place in their heart.

“It meant a lot to my husband,” Reichert said. “That was his wish -- that whatever we have when we pass away should be donated to the zoo of Cologne. Cologne is our hometown.”

“We have no children,” she added. “Our children are the zoo.”

When Reichert’s banker first reached out to the zoo about the contribution in early 2015, the organization's chief financial officer was so surprised that he thought it might be a scam.

“I told him I wouldn’t pay any money in advance,” the financial officer, Christopher Landsberg, told ABC News. “He was laughing -- he said, ‘No, no, I’m a real banker, and everything is real here.’”

The zoo learned that Reichert planned to donate $22 million to a foundation that would invest the money and pay out a regular income to the zoo, in perpetuity. The arrangement was finalized in recent months, Landsberg said, after he flew to New Jersey in May to meet Reichert.

“We will spend the money to enlarge enclosures, to optimize enclosures, to make it nicer for the animals, and the people as well,” he said, noting that major philanthropic inheritances are rare in Germany. “It’s very special.”

Reichert said a South American pavilion will also be built and named after her husband. She has already started donating $6,000 each month, which she said would continue for the rest of her life.

More than anything, the gift is meant to honor her husband, Reichert said.

In Cologne during the Second World War, a Jewish neighbor of Reichert’s was slated to be sent to a concentration camp, but her aunt let him take refuge on her estate, Reichert said. Soon after, Reichert said, she joined the resistance as a courier who would sneak through fields.

“That’s how I met Arnulf, and that is how we got together in ’44, because I knew all the underground people,” Reichert said. Arnulf lived in hiding in Cologne, avoiding the Nazis. “We got together during the night,” Reichert said.

The pair wed after Allied forces liberated Cologne in 1945, and several years later, they moved to Israel. After five years in the new Jewish state, they followed Reichert’s mother to the United States.

The couple ended up in New Jersey, where they ran a pet store.

“We are great animal lovers and we have always been concerned about the welfare of the animals,” Reichert said. Her husband, she added, strongly opposed hunting for sport and hated to see animals suffer.

“He was a wonderful person -- there was no one like him,” Reichert said. “I’m a widow for 19 years, and not for all the money in the world -- or anything -- would I ever want anything to do with anyone else.”

But the $22 million isn’t Reichert’s first contribution to the zoo.

In 1954, the couple donated a soft-shelled turtle they brought from the Jordan River.

Reichert recounted how the turtle first had to survive an eight- or nine-day, “horrible” journey in a burlap bag on a ship to Naples, Italy. “We tried to feed the turtle when we were on the boat with cold cuts from the table,” she said.

Later in life, she said, the couple decided they wanted to give back to the city they loved -- where they began their relationship, the hometown that never left their hearts. They had sometimes visited the zoo there when they were younger.

“We were born in Cologne and we remember forever Cologne,” said Reichert, whose German, Landsberg happily noted, is still tinged with Cologne slang.

“It’s in memory of my husband, who was a wonderful human being,” she said.
