The moment thief steals $97K worth of 47th Street Diamond District jewels

Surveillance footage from inside a Diamond District store shows just how easy it is to swipe tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry.

At Rafaello & Co. on West 47th Street near Sixth Avenue, the thief is caught on tape simply waiting until no one was watching.

He then reaches around the corner of the counter to grab 19 diamond bracelets worth a total of $97,000 from the display, which was open in the back, police said Tuesday.

The grab occurred July 30, but the video was just released, showing the thief wearing black pants, a back shirt and a backpack.

The suspect has not been identified by police and is still at large, cops said.

Two Kosher Businesses Compete for Investments on ‘Shark Tank,’ One Leaves With a Deal

Two kosher businesses were vying for investments Sunday night on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” and one of them left with a deal from two of the show’s tycoons.

Israeli-born chef Guy Vaknin, who owns the kosher-vegan food chain Beyond Sushi, entered the Shark Tank seeking a $1.5 million investment in exchange for 25 percent of his West Coast business and five percent of his East Coast business. His restaurants, which have a large vegan menu including salads, wraps, dumplings, and sushi rolls, mostly offer grab-and-go meal options and the company is projected to reach $5.6 million in sales for 2018. Beyond Sushi employs more than a hundred people, has six New York locations, and another location is set to open in Manhattan this year, according to The Forward.

Guest Shark Matt Higgins partnered up with Lori Greiner and together they offered Vaknin $1.5 million for a 30 percent partnership in West Coast operations and a 15 percent partnership in East Coast operations, an offer that the chef accepted. The deal was Higgins’ first on “Shark Tank.”

Mother and daughter Sara and Marilyn Polon were also seeking an investment on “Shark Tank” Sunday night for their company Soupergirl, which creates kosher handmade, plant-based nutritious soups. Soupergirl began as a small, local business in Washington DC, but can now can be found in 50 natural food stores, 20 box food stores, and two retail stores. Although the company is currently valued around $5 million, none of the Sharks made Soupergirl an offer because the product margins were too low.

The Belzer rebbe's passport Being Auctioned!

In recent days, an unknown Polish passport was discovered, with the photograph and signature of the Rabbi Aharon Rokeach, the fourth Rebbe of Belz.
The passport was prepared for the purpose of leaving the country at the height of the War of Independence. It was issued in Tel Aviv by the Polish consulate on March 10, 1948. The passport is to be sold for sale next month at the Kedem auction house in Jerusalem.

The passport was prepared against the background of the petition of the Rebbe's followers from Europe who were concerned about his safety following the dangerous situation in Israel. This plan did not come to fruition because of the rebbe's decision to remain in the land of Israel.

Maron Aran, one of the owners of the Kedem auction house, says that "This is a rare historical item of extraordinary value that came into our possession, an unknown passport that was not recognized until now, neither among the Belz Hasidim nor among the researchers of the period. 

The passport is an important symbol of the difficult period Belz Hasidism went though at the time of the establishment of the State - from Holocaust to Revival."

'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!!
