R' Amram Blau "WAS WRONG" About Israel ..... LETTER FROM HIS NEPHEW, Harav Yehuda Meshi-Yahav

The following letter written by ZAKA founder and head Harav HaGaon Yehuda Meshi-Yahav to his late uncle, R'  Amram Blau, leader of the Neturei Karta. It was published in Major Rishon.

In honor of my dear uncle Rabbi Amram Blau ZT”L, leader of Neturei Karta,

When I was young, I was a small soldier in the campaign, when I joined the demonstrations you were leading – whether it was every Saturday in demonstrations against Chilul Shabbos, or in the middle of the week against any other breach. You were for me the figure of the general, the leader, the fearless and uncompromising fighter for the principles of Judaism. I remember how we stood amazed each time anew by the blows you’d get lovingly from the police, or when you were arrested again and again. We grew up with your stories of heroism, such as putting your head in the Edison Cinema ticket window in Jerusalem to prevent chilul Shabbos, when you were beaten with clubs until you lost consciousness.

Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau in march of the living

Lipa Schmeltzer and the adjacent shul that he built in Monsey is on the market for $2 million.

By COLlive reporter

The property at 16 Murray Drive in Airmont is currently on the market offering 4,700 square feet of quality living in New York's Rockland County.

Adjacent to the home is a fully furnished synagogue at 41 Laura Drive with a spectacular harp-shaped Aron Kodesh and ample parking.

For music fans, this property might seems recognizable as the home and shul built by Lipa Schmeltzer, the popular singer, entertainer, and composer.

Schmeltzer grew up nearby in New Square, NY, as the second-youngest of 12 children in a Chassidic family. He began as a badchan at weddings and worked his way up to fill concert halls around the world as a star performer.

In 2010, Schmeltzer established a synagogue named "The Airmont Shul - Beis Medrash D'Airmont" near his home. Operating on Shabbos and holidays, it emphasized incorporating singing while davening.

The shul attracted locals, music fans and youngsters who once led a frum life. "They accepted me, a warm welcome as they say we have to accept every Jew no matter how it looks, no matter how he behaves," one visitor named Cheskel Lebovits wrote on Google Reviews.

The shul also enjoyed the visits of Rabbi Aaron Dovid Gancz, Mashgiach of Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch in Morristown, NJ, who lives nearby as the director of Chabad Jewish Center of Suffern.

"For years, Rabbi Gancz came every Shabbos to give chizuk and input to the people here," Schmeltzer said in a phone conversation with COLlive.com on Tuesday.

Selling the property is real estate agent Beila Weinberger with Q Home Sales. She said the asking price is $2 million for both the house and the shul.

Schmeltzer cited personal changes in his family and the fact that many have moved away from the rising housing prices in Airmont as the reasons he is selling the property.

"It's hard for me to think about it," he said. It's a hard thing but sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. I put my heart and soul into it. Today it is very hard to get approved for zoning for a shul in the area. It's a beautiful shul and ready to be used."

In May, Schmeltzer will be graduating from Columbia University's School of General Studies with a bachelor's degree in Visual Art and Creative Writing. He has recently taken up painting and said he plans on opening an art gallery in the near future.

Until then, he is doing what he is most comfortable doing and best known for - performing. Whether it is personal videos on social media or singing at the Kosher Villas Orlando of Treitel Ventures over Pesach, Schmeltzer says he's on the road of personal development.

Dec 7, 1929 - Driving Through Broadway At Daytime, NYC (real sound)

I learned a "mussar haskeil" from this movie ....... this movie was filmed in 1929, 89 years ago, which means that most if not all would be 130 years old now .... meaning all the people on this film must be dead ,,,,,

Watch people rushing .....

So I ask you guys...... Where were they rushing to?

Slow down.. guys ..... 

The Holocaust - Why?

Introduction:

Many scholars and philosophers have put forth theories which attempt to explain the Holocaust.

One Charedi point of view focuses the blame on the Reform Jews in Germany who broke away from the Torah. Another attitude blames the secular Zionists for having brazenly established a non-religious settlement in the Land of Israel before the Mashiach’s arrival.

Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda HaCohen Kook had a different understanding. 

These theories, he said, failed to embrace the whole sweep of history. The workings of Divine Providence cannot be isolated to any one moment, or group, but must be seen in the context of the “Divine Historical Plan” which spans generations. 

Accusations that blame this group, or that group, fracture the unity of the Jewish Nation. 

Just as G-d is One, the Nation of Israel is one. Only from this encompassing perspective, which embraces all of Jewish history, can one hope to fathom the Divine Will in the horror of the Holocaust.

Israel comes to a standstill to remember six million Holocaust victims

Israelis came to a halt to observe two minutes of solemn silence as a siren blared, marking the annual remembrance of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

Drivers exited their vehicles and students at schools stood in ceremonies beginning with the siren at 10am on Wednesday, while outside shops and offices, Israelis stood still, many with heads bowed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial that night, alongside dignitaries, survivors and delegations from throughout Israel.

Naftali Spiegal with his Terrorist Sons Chase Women and Little Girls Shouting "Shabbos" Because they Use Eiruv in Boro-Park!

There are many ways how some perverts get their kicks, but now we discovered a brand new innovation:

chasing attractive ladies and teenage girls..... and then watch how they run in terror, by yelling "Shabbos Shabbos" because they use the Boro-Park Eiruv.

My mother a"h would say in yiddish "az men lebt, derlebt men allas" "if you live long enough, you will live to see everything."

Naftali Spiegal decided to "educate"  his sons, Moshe & Yisroel Avraham, in the art of terror, so they could be experts in bullying innocent people, all because they don't follow his archaic Judaic approach!

Last week, the terrorist that calls himself Spiegal waited like an Arab sniper, for the Sedreheler Rav to leave his shul, and then attacked him with a barrage of disgusting insults, in a futile attempt to embarrass him in public because he paskened for the Eiruv! 

He brought along his two "lapdogs," Moshe & Yisroel Avraham for good measure.

Good Shabbos ☺

Bnei Brak will Finally Celebrate Yom Hatzmout!
