Susan Singer 57 Killed by Metro-North train in Westchester
The woman hit and killed by a Metro-North train on the Harlem Line in Westchester on Sunday has been identified.
Susan Singer, 57, of Ossining, was hit around 7 a.m. between the Hawthorne and Valhalla stations, said MTA officials.
Initial delays of between 30-40 minutes were down to 10-15 minutes by 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Service was back to being on or close to schedule later in the morning.
The incident is being investigated as non-criminal nor accidental in nature, MTA officials said.
It was the second time in three days a person was struck by a Metro-North train. A man was struck and killed on the New Haven Line train near the downtown Stamford station early Friday evening
The Satmar hasidim who chose to love the State of Israel
Joel grew up in a large Hassidic family in Brooklyn. He went to a "cheider" whereby children learn Talmud in Yiddish until late afternoon, at which time some secular subjects are taught, such as English and math.
Though Joel's family was not strongly anti-Zionist, the messages he received from his school and his synagogue were.
Therefore, it was rather surprising when Joel became interested in Israel. Even before his bar mitzvah, Joel searched for articles in the Yiddish newspaper about Israel, praying, for example, that the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif would not take effect.
In the daily prayers, he noticed that there was a longing for the Land of Israel, which Joel himself began to feel.
At the age of 18, Joel came to Israel for the first time, where he discovered Zoreach, a group of hasidim similar to himself who shared a love for Israel.
Another important activity of his is visiting communities in Judea and Samaria. He tells of the reactions of his hosts when they see his hasidic garb for the first time, and the close relationships that ensue.
Tune in (above) to meet a passionate young man who follows his heart, even when his path differs from that of his family.
President Trump Ignores Satmar and Ezra Friedlander Imposes Sanctions on Iran
Remember when they chastised the Agudah because the Agudah was against the deal?
Remember when Ezra "the kapo" Friedlander wrote an article defending fat Nadler because he supported the treacherous Iran Deal?
Remember when Satmar set up that foolish stooge Labin to rally against the Iran deal...
Well it looks like Trump is not consulting with these experts!
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman praised the re-imposition of US sanctions on Iran, which will begin tonight.
The defense minister wrote on his Twitter account: "Tonight, the sanctions imposed by the American administration on Iran will enter into force. In a courageous decision that will be remembered for generations, US President Donald Trump has changed direction with regard to Iran. No more agreements and obsequiousness, but a determined struggle to stop the murderous ayatollahs regime, which spreads terror, violence and hatred throughout the Middle East."
Shaked warns of ‘earthquake’ if Israel’s top court quashes nation-state law
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked on Sunday warned of an “earthquake” if Israel’s High Court
of Justice struck down the widely-contested Jewish nation-state law.
In an interview with Army Radio Shaked explained that she did not believe the court had the authority to constitutionally quash the legislation given it was passed as a Basic Law.
“High Court justices are very serious and professional people,” she said. “The Knesset is the
constituent assembly, which defines and determines the basic laws. [The justices] have to
interpret the laws in accordance with the basic laws, and I don’t believe a majority on the
Supreme Court would take such a step.”
Sen. Cory Booker Takes Jews For Fools ... Says He Had No Idea Sign He Held Is Linked To Pro-Palestinian Movement
Sen. Cory Booker, seen as a likely contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, appears in a photo endorsing a slogan of the pro-Palestinian movement.
A Booker spokesman told JTA the senator had no idea the sign had anything to do with Israel.
Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who is known for his "closeness" to the Jewish community, is seen posing while holding a sign reading “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go” and depicting a crumbling brick wall. The slogan was coined by the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, which posted the photo Friday on Twitter.

Being Grabbed by Pretty Girls, another "Bein Hazmanim" activity |
Jerusalem Sephardic Chief Rabbi HaRav Shlomo Moshe Amar responded to the growing number of tragedies impacting the chareidi tzibur during this bein hazmanim R”L.
The rav warns that the tragedies are occurring as a result of the bitul Torah that accompanies bein hazmanim.
“As a rule, during these days, ‘bein hazmanim’, unfortunately, there are many tragedies because there is a great deal of bitul Torah. This is not a simple matter. There is so much bitul Torah. This is most serious and as if the bitul Torah was not enough, it leads to many aveiros” Rav Amar stated.
The rav calls on bnei Torah, “So much care should be taken when one heads out, even if the intentions are good – in order for a person to rest and relax, and one must take great care all the time, all the more so during bein hazmanim”.
This morning, the shocking data revealed that five people were killed and 23 injured in a series of disasters, ranging from children to road accidents or the dangers of hiking.

"Feigelach" Harass, Threaten, Rabbi Who Dared Criticize LGBT Parade

Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu |
Following the publication of an article by Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu, son of Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu and the chairman of Israel’s Association of Community Rabbis, against the LGBT community, he and his family have been the victims of a daily campaign of harassment and threats.
“Since I published the article on the Internet, my family has been the subject of intense attacks,” Rabbi Eliyahu said.
“It means ordering services to the house, people who call all the time, we have reached the point where my children simply disconnected the phone,” he added.
According to Rabbi Eliyahu, this is part of a retaliatory action by members of the LGBT community, who published his phone number online.
Apart from the phone harassment, Rabbi Eliyahu and his family are also exposed to threats on the Internet, including shocking wishes and slander.
“People write about my children all kinds of very unpleasant things,” he said. “It’s a very difficult feeling that you can’t say what you think without experiencing this kind of intense attack,” he explained.
Rabbi Eliyahu, who chose to speak publicly against the LGBT community’s struggle to extend the coverage of the Surrogacy Law to male homosexual couples, resented the brutal censorship he experienced. “It is inconceivable that in the State of Israel only one type of person is allowed to speak, and they are considered moral, while anyone who wants to protest their position cannot do so.”
Rabbi Eliyahu complained that “there are those who are permitted to trade in people, to trade in children, to trade in women, to create for themselves a child, and anyone who wants to express the Torah’s contrary position cannot.”
“It is reminiscent of the time of the Gaza disengagement, the time of Oslo, when the media align themselves with one position, and anyone who thinks otherwise it becomes a murderer, an inciter, and a danger to the democracy,” he said, adding, “It’s a shame that the media are aligned with this one position, and does not allow a large part of the nation to express their position.”
Rabbi Eliyahu urged “rabbis, intellectuals, people of Torah, to write, to express themselves, to show up.”
The Association of Community Rabbis in Israel has launched a new initiative for Rabbis, educators, and anyone who wishes that his Torah to be submitted properly, pass the screen and reach an audience.
The group issued an invitation to all of the above, saying: “We aspire to deliver Jewish information to human hearts all over the world, and we begin with you, on the 28th of Av (August 9), at a Spirituality and Media conference which will train people of Torah in the arts of writing, speaking and television.”
Does Trump's 'ultimate deal' reject PLO propaganda?
President Trump’s as-yet unannounced “ultimate deal” to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict has received a setback following Saudi Arabia’s King Salman reassuring Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that Saudi Arabia would oppose any Trump peace plan that did not accept the PLO stance on East Jerusalem becoming the capital of an independent Palestinian Arab state.
The PLO claim to East Jerusalem is based on its own propaganda and that of the United Nations which claims East Jerusalem to be “occupied territory”.
