'Yeshiva stabber' acquitted

A Charedi yeshiva student accused of stabbing a fellow student in the chest has been acquitted, after it was determined that the suspect was in a “psychotic” state at the time of the incident, and could not be held responsible for his actions.

In August, a 17-year-old student at the Knesset Hagedolah yeshiva on Hafetz Haim Street in the haredi city of Modi’in Illit repeatedly stabbed a fellow student in the chest.

Police were called to the scene of the incident, and quickly apprehended the perpetrator, who had fled to his dorm room after the stabbing.

The victim, who suffered three stab wounds to the chest, was evacuated in serious condition to Tel Hashomer Medical Center in Ramat Gan.

Powerball and Mega Millions combined jackpot hits $2.22B

The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are now at a combined $2.22 billion, as bettors with big dreams hope the total soars even higher before this week’s drawings.

The Powerball prize climbed to $620 million after no one hit all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing — but it’s the Mega Millions’ already-record $1.6 billion kitty that’s garnering all the attention.

“The greedy part of me wants to play only Mega Millions because who can resist a billion and a half dollars?” Michael Estaban, 38, of Lakeview, LI, said on Sunday.
“But then the common sense in me says I should split my money between the two, because why should I pass up a measly half a billion?”

Estaban ended up plunking down $10 apiece on Mega Millions and Powerball tickets at Carlton Cards in Penn Station, which sells an average of $246,000 in tickets a week, the most in New York state, according to data obtained by USA Today.

The Mega Millions pot is so out of control that its 11 directors have ramped up their usual twice-a-week phone calls to once a day to figure out the new total.

The consortium of lottery officials is holding its next conference call Monday morning to analyze ticket sales from over the weekend to determine whether it can up the jackpot.

“If sales are running ahead, we may take the jackpot up another notch,” Mega Millions lead director Gordon Medenica told The Post.

Asked whether the Mega Millions could reach $2 billion, Medenica replied, “I’m not going to jinx it.’’

HaRav Yitzchok Paler, Rosh Yeshiva Mekor Chaim Passes Away Suddenly

Rav Paler reportedly suffered a massive heart attack on Sunday night. Hatzolah responded to the Rosh Yeshiva’s home where he was found unresponsive and was Niftar a short while later. He was 67.

The Yeshiva was founded in Brooklyn by the Rosh Yeshiva’s father, Rav Binyomin Z”TL, in 1965. In 2012, the Yeshiva relocated to its current home in Lakewood.

For many decades, Rav Binyomin Paler zt”l was known as the repository of the true Brisk in the United States, a Mesorah carried on by his illustrious sons and Talmidim. Rav Binyamin was one of the closest Talmidim of the Brisker Rov, Rav Velvel Soloveitchik, and a chavrusah of Rav Berel Soloveitchik Z”TL – father of Rav Avrohom Yehoshua Shlita, the current Rosh Yeshiva of Brisk in Yerushalayim.

Rav Binyamin zt”l escaped World War II together with the Mirrer Yeshiva via Shanghai. Rav Paler was the son-in-law of the Mattesdorfer Rav, R' Shmuel Ehrenfeld z"l, and was the Rosh Yeshivah for many years in Yeshivah Chasan Sofer.

 After the war, he helped Rav Leib Malin zt”l launch Yeshiva Bais HaTalmud before founding his own Yeshiva, Mekor Chaim. Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l himself suggested the name – to show all that Rav Paler embodied the authentic teachings and continuity of Rav Chaim Soloveitchik himself.

Will Jews of New York vote for Kristen Gillibrand the close friend of Linda Sarsour?

There’s only a short couple of weeks until the election. 

Kristen Gillibrand has turned her back on her Jewish constituents. 

First she voted FOR the Iran deal, then against the Taylor act ( anti BDS), and now she has become best buddies with openly anti Israel and anti-Semite Linda Sarsour and close to the Arab community. 

This may be acceptable in a state like Michigan but in a state like NY with millions of Jews- it’s an affront! 

We won’t be demonstrating in the street or destroying NY businesses, but we WILL be going to the polls and vote for her republican opponent Chele Farley. 

We may not know much about her but she can’t be worse than Gillibrand has been for Israel and the Jewish community. 

Remember- your vote counts! Please pass around to your other chats- we can win!

Mordy Mehlman Publisher of FJJ Gives A Forum to the Accused Sex Pervert and Jew Hater ..Yaakov Shapiro UPDATED!!

Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro, the self hating Jew, mouthpiece of the Israel bashing Neturei Karta, who is constantly on Utube bashing the State of Israel, and who has been accused countless times of being a sexual pervert, recently wrote a book The Empty Chair , a book that could have easily been  written by Adolf Eichmann YM"S. 

In fact there wasn't any Jewish publisher who would publish this book of hate and fury written against other Jews!!

The book deliberately in a deceitful way omits the fact that hundreds of Gedoilei Yisroel actively supported the State pre-war2 and post WW2. The book doesn't address the fact that many Gedoilei Yisroel that opposed a State, supported the State once it was established in 1948. The book doesn't address the fact that the Zionist State continues to support Moisdei Ha'Torah and did so since its inception. Last year alone the Zionists granted over 250 million US Dollars to Moisdei Ha'Torah! When I write "Moisdei Ha'Torah I include Satmar Moisdois .... yes ... I repeat Satmar Moisdois, even though they deny it... they take and have always taken money from the Zionist Entity ... see my post of Ocober 16.

The book ignores the fact that most Gedoilei Yisroel moved and established their Chassidishe Courts and Yeshivois to the Zionist State. It deliberately omits the fact that the Chafetz Chayim had made concrete plans to move to Petach Tikvah and that a letter recently auctioned off mentioned in detail the CC's ideas on how he wanted his apartment laid out.

The filthy book doesn't mention the fact that the Chofetz Chayim's very own son R' Aryeh Leib (who went by the name Pupkah and sometimes Epstein) was a fervent Zionist and one of the founders of the "Chovevei Zion" movement. Chovevei Tzion held that "Mitzvas Yishuv Eretz Yisroel is a mitzvah of here and now and advocated the settlement of Eretz Yisroel regardless of who was running the government. R' Aryeh Leib was very close to his father and was the editor of the Mishna Berurah. Some write that R' Aryeh Leib was actually the author of complete chapters of the Mishna Berurah!

Rabbi Shapiro, the "empty brain"  is actively involved with the anti-Israel website modestly called True Torah Jews, which advocates for the State of Israel to be dissolved, Chas Ve'Shalom!

Please note that the leftists in Israel, constantly quote from this capo, and he is their hero....

If you read Haaretz and other leftist newspapers you will notice that there isn't any daylight between them and the "frum" anti-Zionists' view..... 

Hashem Yishmor!

In the Oct 11, 2018 edition of Mordy Mehlman's Newspaper FJJ, a "letter to the editor" took Shapiro to task pointing out that Shapiro's work was a work of distorted trash and fiction. 

In this week's edition, Meek Mordy, like the coward that he is, folded like a cheap cardboard box and apologized for printing the brave, sane and rational letter of one of his readers ....

Then to add to the huge Chillul Hashem, Mordy Mehlman, that must have had too many Chulapchis this past Yom Tov had this JEW-NAZI respond to the letter, who, K'darko Be'Koidesh  responded with half truths and whole lies!

Mordy Mehlman, the "Spineless Tuchis Lekker,"  has been caught in the web of Israel bashing Jew Haters .... 

 Jews in Brooklyn who want to read Loshon Hara about Israel have Der Yid, Der Blatt, Dee Tzeitung, Der Sturmer, CNN, Reuters, The New York Times .. and now the FJJ!

I will not post Shapiro's disgusting response that reeks of hate and filth against his brothers and sisters residing in Israel, but will post Mordy's embarrassing apology! 

Notice that Mehlman, the naive fool, calls this self-hating Jew, "a Rov and Scholar."

The Meraglim were also "Rabbanim and Scholars!" In fact if you read all the commentaries on Parshas Shlach, the parsha of the meraglim, all state that the meraglim were "Rabbis and Scholars."

"Rabbis and Scholars" and the Sanhedrin were also followers of Korach!

Mordy.... the State of Israel is a fact ,,, a miracle .... a country with the largest Jewish population; a country that has the most Torah learning .... 

and is surrounded by wolves that are ready to pounce and destroy her .... 

yet, here you are a Jew a self righteous Yeshivash publisher of a popular newspaper publishing an "apology" because someone stood up to this lying rat Shapiro!!

Mordy, afraid of a wall of backlash against his sick "apology" adds that he "will not print any of the numerous response letters received" because of "L'maan hasholom"😃

First he takes a "crap" on his loyal readers, and then runs like a coward because he cannot stand his own stench!

Excuse me but I gota go throw up!!

IDF tanks, equipment spotted moving towards Gaza

Residents of southern Israel have posted photos of tanks and military equipment moving towards Gaza.

The political-security cabinet decided during last night's meeting to adopt the line led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and to support a military response only on the basis of developments on the ground and not on a proactive basis.

During the meeting, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman presented a plan to initiate a harsh response against Hamas. At the same time, the IDF, with the encouragement of Netanyahu, presented another plan whereby response would be according to what was happening on the ground and only if the terrorist organizations tried to attack Israel.

The cabinet ministers were instructed not to be interviewed by the media about the discussion in question, which also dealt with the indirect talks sponsored by the United Nations and Egypt vis-a-vis Hamas in Gaza to restore relative calm to the area, as was seen until March 29 this year.

"Oil with the Korban Mincha"

The Talmud talks about the Mincha sacrifice that was brought to the Temple by someone who sinned or violated a Biblical ordinance by mistake. 

*Note:  Sacrifices were brought only by those who mistakingly sinned ... there are no sacrifices for those who sinned or violated a Biblical ordinance on purpose.

The Talmud explains that there cannot be any oil accompanying  a Mincha, that someone brought because he sinned. It therefore follows, that the Kohein cannot add oil to the Mincha , even if he wishes to do so.

Why?

Because  Minchas in general, are supposed to be elegant and the Torah didn't want that the Mincha of a sinner (even if the sin was done inadvertently) to be elegant.

What would be the halacha if the Kohein poured a drop of oil on this particular Mincha sacrifice?

According what we learn on this daf, the entire Mincha sacrifice would be rendered invalid.

Therefore even one drop of oil would invalidate the entire Mincha, because the Torah stated emphatically on a sinner's Mincha ...... ''לא ישים עליה שמן'' .... "Do not place [on the mincha] oil"

But there can be a situation where oil placed on a sinner's mincha would still be valid .... 

and that is, if the oil was placed on a piece of the Mincha that didn't have the required size ... the required size for the Mincha to still be valid  would be the size of an olive.

Is Mama Ruchel Really Buried In Kever Rachel and When Is her real Yurzeit?

According to the פסיקתא רבתי Rochel Imeinu died between Pesach and Shavuois when the ground was dry (see Rashi Bereishis 48:7 who seems to agree)

The ילקוט שמעוני writes that she died on the 11th of Cheshvan.

In one of the "Dead Sea Scrolls," it is written that she died on the 10th of Teves.

So where is she really buried??

We all know that Kever Rochel is in Bais Lechem, 10 kilometers south of Yerushalyim.

According to some Rishonim 
רלב''ג, חזקוני, רמבן פרשת ויחי 
Kever Rochel is not in the Bais Lechem we know, but in רמה north of Yerushalyim!

(1) In Shmuel Alef י'  ב' it is written that 
קברת רחל בגבול בנימין  
Bais Lechem is in Yehuda .... not Binyamin.

(2) Rashi in פרשת ויחי quotes the פסיקתא רבתי  
"Yaakov told Yosef that he buried Rochel on the road ע''פ הדיבור" so that in the future she would daven for her children when Nevuzraden would forcibly take them from Bavel.
And as they pass her Kever .... Rochel will come out and cry 
רחל מבכה על בניה 

If Kever Rochel is in the Bais Lechem we know, why would they be passing her Kever on the way to Bavel which is north of Yerushalyim?

(3) See the ספרי  פרשת וזאת הברכה, פסקא שנ''ב  
where it is written 
ר' מאיר אומר בחלקו של בנה מתה 
Rochel died in her son's chelik ...which is in the chelik of Binyamin and not in the chelik of Yehuda where our Bais Lechem is situated.

The חזקוני explains that it was an honor for Rochel to be buried in
her children's chelik .

Hat Tip: MF

Cry'in Schumer won’t admit that the Dems are abandoning Israel

From the New York Post Editorial 

Some Democrats are trying furiously to push back against a New York Times article reporting what’s been patently clear for years to any honest observer: The party is abandoning its support of Israel.

“Senate Democrats are very strongly pro-Israel and will remain that way,” declared Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Would that it were so. In fact, as the Times noted, several Democratic candidates, including some of the party’s rising stars, are running on blatantly anti-Israel platforms.

This reflects the rapid leftward hurtle of the ever-more-dominant Democratic base: A 2016 Pew poll found that liberal Democrats, who’d favored Israel by 48-to-10 percent as recently as 2001, had turned to the Palestinians by 40-to-33 percent.

The same poll found only 48 percent of moderate Democrats, a rapidly vanishing breed, favoring Israel. On the GOP side, 77 percent of conservatives and 64 percent of moderates were pro-Israel.

Which explains why so many of the same Senate Democrats whom Schumer touts have grown increasingly soft on Israel.

His New York colleague, Kirsten Gillibrand, came out against the same Israel Anti-Boycott Bill she’d once co-sponsored. Jersey’s Cory Booker voted against the Taylor Force Act that cut off funding for the Palestinians while they subsidize terrorists and their families. And Vermont’s Bernie Sanders tried to place three anti-Israel activists on the 2016 Democratic platform committee.

All three senators are eyeing a run for president; clearly, they know where primary voters stand. Then again, who can forget how delegates at the 2012 convention raucously shouted down language declaring Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?

Speaking of which, numerous Democrats who’d voted to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem publicly condemned President Trump for doing just that.

As for Schumer, recall that he gently announced his opposition to the Obama nuke deal with Iran — and then went mute, refusing to lobby fellow Democrats.

Even still-pro-Israel elected Democrats can sniff their party’s political winds — so don’t expect them to stay pro-Israel much longer.

Frum Judge Rachel Freier orders Muslim suspect released on bail after brutal assault on 62 year-old Jew earlier this week.

I think her shaitel is on too tight! 

I believe she is in collusion with the DA Gonzales

who is terrified of the Arabs that surround Brooklyn!

And now we have another Liberal Judge ...one of our very own...

Jews just never learn! 

They will vote for the vicious anti-Semite Kirsten Gillibrand for Senator in New York again. They voted for fat Nadler and Cry'in Schumer!
The only thing that Heimishe Yiddin  want is more fed aid and if a Nazi promises that, then damn everything as long as our "Moised" can get Title 2!
Uch..... I'm running to throw up! 

Court Docket indicating Mrs "Shaitel" Freier and the Bail amount 

Afzal reportedly attacked the victim, identified as Rabbi Lipa Schwartz, 62, because he thought he was an Orthodox Jewish man who had stepped in front of his car earlier in the day. Video footage shows Afzal pulling Schwartz into the street and savagely beating him.

Afzal was arrested soon after the assault. After his identity was published, he was fired from his job at Church Avenue Car Service.

During the assault, Afzal reportedly yelled "Allah, Allah" while he dragged Schwartz.

“He came out from the car. I couldn’t explain to you how angry he was. He was screaming the whole time,” Schwartz recounted to CBS2.

“All of a sudden… boof, boof, boof, boof!”, Schwartz continued. "So I start to fight back because it’s either death or life.”

Following the attack, Schwartz was evacuated to Maimonides Medical Center and was treated for minor injuries.

Yiddish-speaking Freier is the first female hasidic judge in the US and was first appointed to the bench in 2016 . She began studying law at age 30 after realizing she was working for lawyers younger than herself.
