90-year-old Israeli man chokes to death on Hanukkah doughnut

A 90-year-old man in central Israel choked to death on a doughnut during a Hanukkah candlelighting ceremony Monday evening.

Magen David Adom paramedics called to the community in the Shfela region southeast of Tel Aviv, said they dislodged a piece of dough stuck in the man’s throat, but were unable to revive him.

The man, who was attending a candlelighting ceremony at his local synagogue, was declared dead at the scene.

In a statement, the MDA warned that the jelly-filled doughnut, a Hannukah tradition, could be a choking hazard for children and the elderly.

On Sunday, MDA said paramedics were called to a Bnei Brak home to treat a 95-year-old man who choked on a doughnut. The unconscious man was taken to the Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv, and was said to be in stable condition on Monday.

Moshe Rubin Former Peleg Terrorist Leaves Ponovitz Joins the IDF!!

Remember when a Yeshivah Bochur who was a chavrusah with the Rosh Yeshivah of Ponovitz went missing.?

Turns out that he was also a member of the Peleg Terrorists that refused to even register for the draft,  and illegally blocked traffic.

He had enough of all this hypocrisy ... and joined the IDF ......

Says on the video that he knows of at least 7 other Peleg Terrorists that will enlist in the IDF soon .....

Agrees with his new mentor rabbi that says that enlisting in the IDF is a mitzvah .... and this mitzvah is no less important then putting on Tefillin!

Jeremy Reichberg VS His Brother Moshe Reichberg

It’s brother vs. brother in an NYPD bribe case unfolding in Manhattan federal court.

Mayor Bill de Blasio donor Jeremy Reichberg, who stands accused of bribing NYPD cops, will be facing off against his brother, Moshe Reichberg, according to a new court filing.

Prosecutors plan to call Moshe to testify as early as this week about his Borough Park police-liaison sibling’s alleged efforts to keep evidence from the FBI, the court filing said.

In addition to being charged with bribing cops, Reichberg faces one count of obstruction of justice because feds say he asked Moshe to remove incriminating evidence about his bribery scheme from his house, including business cards of high-ranking officers, documents and electronic devices.

Moshe has been granted immunity to testify, the filing said.

On Monday, the defense also played wiretaps showing the government’s key witness, Jona Rechnitz, growing increasingly panicked as city and federal investigators began circling the wagons on his financial shenanigans, which led to their bribery probe.

Ireland Upset That US Ambassador to Israel Said That Jerusalem Has Been The Capital Of Israel For Over 2,000 Years

A Chanukkah message tweeted on Monday by the US envoy to Israel drew a critical response from Ireland’s top diplomat.

Ambassador David Friedman wrote, “More than 2000 years ago, Jewish patriots (Maccabees) captured Jerusalem, purified the Holy Temple and rededicated it as a house of Jewish worship. The U.N. cant vote away the facts: Jerusalem is the ancient and modern capital of Israel. Happy Chanukah from this blessed city!”

In response, Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney tweeted, 

“U are working on a New Peace Initiative that we all hope will be fair, balanced and successful. But comments like this will be seen as provocative and biased. Not helpful in creating the necessary environment of compromise. @UN @UNRWA”

Dean of Yeshiva Attacked by Gang of Arab Stone-throwers Vows Stones Will Be Used to Build New Dormitory.

The dean of a yeshiva high school in the town of Hashmonaim in western Samaria near Modiin was attacked by a group of Arab stone-throwers Monday morning.

Rabbi Itamar Liberman, the dean of Ner Tamid yeshiva for high school-aged students in Hashmonaim was his way to the school from his home in Beit El Monday morning when his car was suddenly pelted by stones thrown by local Arabs near the Israeli town of Neve Tzuf in western Samaria.

The windshield of the car was smashed, and Rabbi Liberman temporarily lost control of the vehicle during the attack.

“I got a big ‘shakeup’ this morning,” Rabbi Liberman told Arutz Sheva. 

"New Sheriff In Town" Tells Satmar Rebbe Where To go!!

Striking back at a verbal tongue lashing by the Satmar Rebbe earlier in the week, Senator elect James Skoufis had some scathing words of his own, warning Kiryas Joel residents to expect no favors during his time in Albany.

Rabbi Aron Teitelbaum slammed the New York State Department of Education’s new laws mandating significant changes to the secular curriculums of private schools, saying that New York State jails are filled with killers and violent felons who are products of the public school system.  In addition to calling on his followers to openly defy the new ruling, the Satmar Rebbe categorized newly elected State Senator James Skoufis as “wicked and evil.”

Just over two hours later, Skoufis fired back at Rabbi Teitelbaum on Facebook.

“I guess he’s still rankled that my campaign was able to easily overcome his bloc vote this past election,” wrote Skoufis, describing the remarks as “abhorrent,” “disgraceful” and “dangerous,” wondering aloud if Rabbi Teitelbaum was hoping to “elicit violence” among his followers.

Crown Heights: Jewish Man Punched in Face on Shabbos Morning; Unprovoked Attack

In an unprovoked, and possibly hate related incident, a Jewish man was assaulted by two black males in front of 728 East New York Ave, between Albany and Troy Avenues. The assault happened early Saturday morning at around 6:30am as the man was heading off to shul.

The Jewish man was approached by two black males, who without saying anything, suddenly punched him in the face. The victim fought back, during which he was able to grab his attackers glasses. Once it became obvious that the victim would not go down without a fight, the assailants fled towards Albany Ave.

The victim initially asked a black woman nearby to call 911, but the woman refused, instead turning away and going into a nearby building.

After 20 minutes of calling for help, a Jewish man came out of a nearby house, and after hearing the story, called 911 and Hatzolah.

When the police came the victim was able to give the glasses to the police as evidence.

The victim was transported by Hatzolah to Methodist Hospital in Park Slope, where he was treated for minor injuries to both ears.

As per a police source, the glasses have been sent to a lab to acquire DNA evidence about the assailant.

The 71st precinct has also promised extra police presence following the incident.
