Blonde woman who 'stuck out like a sore thumb' in her Frum community learns her real dad is a STRANGER

Dani Shapiro, seen here with Paul Shapiro, knew that she physically looked out of place among the mostly Eastern-European Ashkenazi Jews she grew up around

      

An author explores a strange and surprising story in a new book about her own heritage growing up as an Orthodox Jew only to find out her lineage was not at all what she was led to believe.

Dani Shapiro, 56, the author of Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love, always thought Wall Street stockbroker Paul Shapiro, who died in a car accident in 1986, had been her father until she took a DNA test in 2016.

'It upended my world,' said Shapiro in an interview with the New York Post. 

Her mother Irene had once told her she had received fertility help, which Shapiro uncovered happened at the Farris Institute for Parenthood in Philadelphia, long since closed.

Paul Shapiro's sperm was apparently mixed with an anonymous donation to inseminate Irene in a process called 'confused artificial insemination.'

Menachem and Rachel Cohen Think Their Daughter Is A "Lulav" .. Bind Her With Duct Tape

An upstate mom and dad were charged Wednesday with binding their daughter with duct tape and forcing her into the back of their car on the Lower East Side.

Menachem and Rachel Cohen, of Monticello, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to second-degree assault, coercion, unlawful imprisonment and other charges.

They were arrested on Feb. 25, 2018, after witnesses reported to police that they saw Rachel struggling in the car with the 19-year-old, who was not identified in court papers.
She was duct taped around her wrists, ankles and mouth, the papers said.

The couple allegedly told responding officers that their daughter has a mental disorder and needed treatment. EMS transported her to Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric ward.

“Everyone Is Smart, Except Donald Trump:”

Rav Dov Fischer

It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires, and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.

They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. 

But — oh, wow! — Can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.

Remember the four years when Anderson Cooper was President of the United States? And before that — when the entire Washington Post editorial staff jointly were elected to be President? Remember? Neither do I.

The Seedier Media have never negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are experts, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30.

"Retarded Jews" Booted Off Spirit Airline Flight

Personally? I think Spirit is a crappy airline and you get what you pay for .... Having said this .... I side with the airline in this respect for many reasons ....

#1 Spirit is a "no-frills" airline .... that means nothing on board except for a small carry on ... it is written "be'feirish" on the website..... Anyone that has travelled with them ... knows this.. that's why you paid $10.00 approx for your ticket ..

#2 I don't believe "Yisroel" from Bor-Park's story that  a Spirit "gate-agent" allowed them to take it on ...its a lie!! I would venture to go out on a limb and say that "Yisroel" of Boro-Park thought that he was in the Voydistlover Shteeble, and tried to sneak it on.

#3 Why weren't they putting on the seat belts???? I don't see them refuting that fact!

#4 I agree with that flight attendant that allegedly called them "retarded" ..... 

An Orthodox Jewish family from New York was escorted off of a Spirit Airlines flight this week and banned from the airline for life following a heated dispute, which allegedly included anti-Semitic slurs, over a child safety seat.

According to a press release from the office of recently retired New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, the incident occurred this Tuesday on an early-morning Spirit Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A Jewish couple, identified as Chani and Yisroel from Boro Park, Brooklyn, traveling with their three small children – ages 3, 2, and 1-month - say the trouble began when a flight attendant spotted them with a dual-purpose baby seat and car seat.

The family says that the gate agent at Newark had told the couple that they would be able to take the dual-purpose seat onto the flight.

Finally .... Israel Opens "for Jews Only" Highway Near Jerusalem

We have had enough of Arab savages throwing rocks at us .... let them call us "segregationist"  let them call us "apartheid" ...

We have to protect Jews ....

Israel inaugurated a new highway in the Judea/Samaria  on Thursday that features a large concrete wall segregating Israeli and Palestinian traffic.

One side of Route 4370 — located northeast of Jerusalem — will be open to Israeli vehicles only, while the other half will only be open to Palestinian traffic. Critics have branded it an “apartheid” highway, saying it is part of a segregated road system that benefits Jewish settlers.

The highway was built as part of a planned ring road east of Jerusalem that would connect the northern and southern West Bank. Construction began in 2005, but the 5-kilometer (3-mile) road lay unfinished for years until 2017.

Israeli officials inaugurating the new road on Wednesday touted it as a means of better connecting West Bank settlements north of Jerusalem to the city.

Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan called the highway “an example of the ability to create coexistence between Israelis and Palestinian while guarding (against) the existing security challenges.”

The Palestinian Authority said in a statement that the “apartheid” road “poses a challenge to the credibility of the international community.”

“It’s a shame on the international community to see an apartheid regime being established and deepened without doing anything to stop it.”

If the Left Doesn't Like Birthright ... Let them start their own program..

Guys read the entire article .... 

by Daniel Gordis 

“American Jews and Israeli Jews Are Headed for a Messy Breakup,” a column by Jonathan Weisman announced in the New York Times earlier this week. He’s probably right. But only “probably.” The relationship does not have to crash, if both sides can acknowledge the profound ways in which the world’s two largest Jewish communities are profoundly different, and cease imposing their own worldview on the other.

To heal this rift, both sides are going to need to accept that we are invariably going to continue disappointing each other, because American Judaism and Israeli Judaism are, by this point, very different animals. As I describe in my forthcoming book, We Stand Divided: Competing Visions of Jewishness and the Rift Between American Jews and Israel, they now rest on almost entirely different foundations. One is universal and one particular, one focuses on Judaism as religion while the other sees Judaism as nationality, one largely exempt from the messiness of history, while the other is the product of a movement that expressly sought to restore the Jews as players into the complexities (and ugliness) of history.

Ultimately, both Israel and American Jews will have to change much about their views of and discourse about the other. At this moment, though, I want to focus on the ways in which American Jews need to rethink their discourse about Israel, since this side of the equation was much in evidence both in Weisman’s column and in another piece week, by Peter Beinart, in the Forward.

As part of the IfNotNow-instigated brouhaha about Birthright, Beinart issued a characteristic warning this week: “Birthright Will Fail If It Doesn’t Evolve With Young Jews,” arguing that Birthright trips do not offer a balanced picture of the conflict, which in turn will lead many young American Jews to ignore the program.
