Torah Vodaath's History of Taking in the Survivors of the Holocaust

Carl Laemmle Saved 300 hundred Jewish Families From the Flames of the Holocaust and Put Dracula On the Screen

After losing control of the movie studio that introduced audiences to Dracula and Frankenstein, Carl Laemmle had a vital final mission. Formerly the head of what is today Universal Pictures, Laemmle worked to save fellow Jews from Hitler in the 1930s, despite opposition from the US State Department.

By the time of his death in 1939, he had rescued over 300 Jewish families.

Laemmle’s life is the subject of a new documentary, “Carl Laemmle,”directed by James Freedman. It will be screened February 10 at both the San Diego International Jewish Film Festival and the Denver Jewish Film Festival before moving to Atlanta.

With its easily recognizable globe logo, the studio Laemmle founded has lived up to its name. (Its website lists it as the world’s fourth-oldest surviving studio.) But Laemmle is not as well remembered.

Calling Laemmle a “true American hero,” Freedman said, “I knew I just had to tell this great story and let the world know.”

"Sacrifices That Were Removed From Its Designated Place " 

Any Sacrifice that was removed from its designated area, can no longer be eaten, even if it is returned to the permitted area. 

For example:

Meat from a Korban Chattas that left the walls of the Temple, is forever prohibited from consumption even if one then returns the meat to the Temple.

Ori's Murdererer an Arab Arrested in a Ramallah Mosque!

The Shin Bet released new details regarding the gruesome murder of 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher in the Jerusalem forest last week.

According to the Shin Bet, 29 year-old Hevron native Arafat Afariah set out with a knife. When he saw Ansbacher in the Jerusalem Forest, he stabbed her multiple times in the chest and killed her.

The investigation is at its height and the majority of the details are under a gag order.

Ansbacher, a volunteer at a youth center in Jerusalem, had walked to the Jerusalem forest to be alone after an argument when she was murdered. Afariah was arrested on Saturday by Israeli special forces in a mosque in Al Bireh, a village near Ramallah.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said following Afariah's arrest that "I congratulate the Shin Bet security services and the Israel Police that within a few hours captured the abominable murderer who murdered Ori Ansbacher. Israel's long arm reaches anyone who harms us and we will settle accounts with them."

"In my name and on behalf of the people of Israel, I wish to express my condolences to the Ansbacher family and to strengthen them with their great grief."

How He Killed Sarah Stern! VIDEO!!

Video footage released Thursday shows a struggling New Jersey artist accused of murdering his childhood friend recounting the gory details of how he strangled her.

“It took me a half-hour to kill her,” Liam McAtasney can be heard saying in the video played in New Jersey Superior Court Thursday, and published online by the Asbury Park Press.

“I thought I would be able to choke her out and have her out in like a couple of minutes.

“I choked her out and then she was just lying there having a seizure or something…so then I had a shirt and I just shoved it down her throat so she wouldn’t throw up or anything and had my finger over her nose.”

The clip was covertly recorded by Brooklynite Anthony Curry, a friend of 21-year-old McAtasney, at the behest of cops.

Bees know how to do basic math

Bees apparently have a grasp of basic math, including addition and subtraction, a new study has discovered.

The study, published in Science Advances, reveals that bees have incredibly powerful brains for their size and suggests that more animals than we thought can do math.

Scientists trained individual honeybees to recognize colors as plus or minus symbols — and armed with this knowledge, they went on to solve basic mathematical problems set by the scientists.

The bees completed the tasks with a success rate of up to 75 percent.

So what’s the point of this new discovery? Understanding how a tiny bee brain can do arithmetic could lead to better artificial intelligence (AI) systems, according to the Australian and French team.

Ori Ansbacher Frum 19 Year Old Girl Found Brutally Murdered in Yerushalyim

The lifeless body of Ori Ansbacher, a 19-year-old woman was found Thursday evening in a forest in Ein Yael, near the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem.

Ansbacher, whose family lives in Tekoa, had been residing in Jerusalem in an apartment she rented with several friends. She was serving in a civilian national service program in place of military service.

Police released a statement saying that a search had been launched for a missing girl for several hours. She had been declared missing at 11:00 a.m. that morning

During their search, they located her lifeless body. 
 Her remains were found stripped naked, with signs of extreme violence, with multiple wounds in the neck and chest area.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.

 All avenues of investigation are currently being considered. A gag-order has been placed on the investigation, indicating that the motive for this brutal murder was nationalistic (terrorism).

It was also reported that 4 Arabs were taken into custody on Thursday night, although police have yet to confirm that.

Magen David Adom paramedic Safi Mizrachi said: “When we arrived, they led us to an open area where we saw a young woman of about 19 years, unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing. We performed medical tests. She was without signs of life, and unfortunately we can only determine her death.”

Despite the initial arrest of several Palestinian Arab suspects, authorities now say the investigation is exploring all possibilities, and have not ruled out either terrorism or criminal motives.

The victim’s parents mourned the death of their daughter, calling her a “sensitive soul” with an enormous capacity for giving.

“She was a holy soul who sought meaning, a sensitive soul towards every person and creature, and with an endless desire to help make the world a better place.”

A teacher who taught the victim in high school also eulogized her, Yediot Ahronot reported.

“She was a smart girl, honest, with an original, creative, and open-minded way of looking at things. She was very much loved by those around her, and she was very sensitive to others.”

Ansbacher will be laid to rest at 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon at the Tekoa cemetery.

Stop Asking For Pictures Of My Daughter

Letter from a mother whose daughter is in shidduchim!

My daughter recently entered shidduchim, and I find myself increasingly livid that girls are expected to send pictures of themselves to the boy’s family or – worse – the boy himself.

When I was dating, no one needed a picture. When a friend or relative told the boy (or his mother) that the girl was cute or good-looking, it was sufficient. Do we demand proof – say, a report card – that a boy is a good learner or that a girl works hard? No, we trust the person setting them up. The boy and girl can get a deeper appreciation of each other while dating.

Why, then, are looks an exception? Why must that be proven? Pressure to provide a photo makes many a girl feel awful. It only adds to her gnawing sense that she is a commodity, not a person with a neshama.
