Here Is The Coward Who Terrorized Carlson's Wife and Children

Will Chareidim in Yerushalyim Vote For the Secular Ofer Berkovitch for Mayor??


There is a run off for  Mayor of Yerusalyim on Tuesday all because the Chareidim did not vote for their own Rabbinical endorsed Chareidie candidate, Yossi Deitch!

In a stunning upset, Deitch only got 17% of the vote ..... which confirms the theory that Chareidim are no longer listening to the Rabbinical leaders .... and have figured out that when their Leaders scream that the "Torah Requires You Vote for the Charedie Deitch," that they are lying....

they did a search from entire Written and Oral Torah and couldn't find one verse commanding them to vote for a Chareidie!
And so when the election came last week, Chareidim dumped the Chareidie candidate in the proverbial garbage dump, stuck their middle fingers at their leaders and instead either stayed home like the Arabs or  split their vote between the "want to be frum guy Moshe Leon" and the secular Offer Berkovich! 



It is regular practice in Israeli politics for rabbis to meet politicians and secure concessions in return for an endorsement. The rabbis then order their followers to the polls in mass numbers, making them a serious political force.  
But the dynamics is changing as more and more ultra-Orthodox men are working, rather than devoting themselves to full-time studying the Talmud. Small numbers are also serving in the army alongside fellow their Israelis. Both developments may ease secular resentment of the ultra-Orthodox, who are widely seen as not contributing to the country’s future. 
Mr Berkovitch is hopeful that this scenario will play out in the city he hopes to lead. 
“There are major changes in the ultra-Orthodox community which allow for co-existence,” he said. “It’s not the old ultra-Orthodox we knew before. Many more of them are open-minded and want to live together.”
So now there will be a runoff and may the best guy win!

"Producing the Oil Used In The Menorah of the Temple" 

There was a requirement that the Menorah in the Temple were supposed to be lit with the finest olive oil.

The mishna on this daf relates that there were 3 periods throughout the year when they picked olives off the trees, and the mishna determines the degree of purity used in the menorah.

The olives that are found on top of the trees ripens first since they are exposed to the sun all day....
They would gather those olives first, crush them and place them in a basket; the oil that dripped out of those crushed olives were fit  for the menorah, since this oil is the finest quality olive oil.

After the oil dripped out of the olives, the olives were then placed in a heavy olive press and crushed under this heavy weight......
the oil produced from this production was no longer fit for the menorah, because it wasn't the finest oil, it was, however, fit for the menachois.

The crushed olives were then ground to produce more oil. 

After a while the olives found in the middle of the tree ripened and went thru the above mentioned process. The first oil produced from this middle batch was fit to be used in the menorah as well.

The olives found on the bottom of the tree, were then gathered, but these olives never properly ripened on the tree and had to be taken and spread out on a roof to be exposed to the sun so that they ripen fully.

Frum Guy Gets On The "Light Train" Without Paying ... and puts Up a Fight When Caught!

5 Injured In Ramat Beit Shemesh Bus Crash


Five people were injured on Thursday evening after a bus drove up onto a sidewalk and ran into a lampost on Hayarkon Street in Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph.
Emergency medical service volunteers from United Hatzalah in Beit Shemesh rushed to the scene and treated those injured in the crash. Among the injured was a young woman who was light-to-moderately injured as well as four other people who sustained light injuries.
Residents of the neighborhood told Israeli media that the accident occurred on a major intersection and has numerous Talmudei Torah and Michlalot nearby and that hundreds of young students walk by that traffic junction every day. “If today had not been Rosh Chodesh when schools get out early, the accident could have had much worse consequences,” the residents said in a Kikar Shabbos Interview.
Chapter head of United Hatzalah in the city David Leff said: “When I arrived at the scene of the accident, I recognized that this was simply a miracle that no one suffered any worse injuries.”

AMERICAN JEWS Join Vicious Anti-Semites To Fight Trump



The Facts Don't Lie!!!

79% of Jewish voters chose Democrats, only 17% supported Republicans. Down nearly 10% in two short, if eventful years.

This may very well  cause a backlash amongst Americans, who may blame Jews for all their failings! Hashem Yishmor!!
The only solution is for Frum Organizations like Agudah, the OU etc... to come out publicly, with official statements  to refute these "fake" Jews and Leaders!

They plan to conduct hearings on his foreign policy, lead oversight into his administration, subpoena his closest aides, investigate his family and run against him in 2020.

In large numbers, American Jews are becoming the face of a Democratic resistance against US President Donald Trump by assuming critical chairmanships in the House of Representatives and preparing campaigns for the White House.

They are voting against him in record numbers. In midterm elections on Tuesday, 79% of Jewish voters chose Democrats, according to exit polls conducted by Pew Research Center and CNN. Only 17% supported Republicans– down nearly 10% in two short, if eventful years.

And they are getting elected. Across the country, 28 Jewish Americans were elected or reelected to the House– only two of which are Republicans– and nine to the Senate, just shy of marking record-high Jewish representation on Capitol Hill. Democrats' sole pickup seat from Republicans in the Senate, in Nevada, was Jacky Rosen, formerly president of her synagogue congregation.

What, if anything, does their Judaism have to do with their politics? 
Statistics would suggest quite a bit. A majority of American Jews have voted for progressive candidates and causes in elections since at least 1984, when record-keeping began on Jewish voter patterns, and when roughly 7 in 10 community members began reliably voting Democratic– a direct response to a Republican alignment with evangelical Christians that appeared at the time hostile to Jews and their pluralistic values.
