Yes, the Israeli People Are Superior to Its Enemies

A condemnation of the assassination of Ori Ansbacher by a Palestinian Arab terrorist in Jerusalem is yet to come from:

-The European Union, always quick to condemn the construction of new Israeli houses in Judea and Samaria;

-The UN, always meeting in an emergency session when Israel kills a terrorist;

-The Western Media, always ready to make room for the terrorists who died on the Gaza border and the pin-up of the Intifada, Ahed Tamimi;

-Pope Francis, always distracted when Israel suffers a tragedy, is in terrible mourning;

-Abu Mazen and the “moderate Palestinians”, always generous in making money transfers to terrorists with European aid;

-The Islamic world, always ready to hide terrorists in their mosques;

-And let us not forget: The feminists, always looking for a femicide except when an Israeli girl is involved.

R' Don Yosef ibn Yichye a Rishon ... Predicted in 1538 ... That The Jews Will Return To Israel in the Year 1940

The Sefer Is Being Autioned Tues 2-19 Contact: moshe@genazym.com

I guess there was no Satmar in the 1500's ...  Jews during the 1500's dreamed of returning to Eretz Yisrael ... There were no mentions that Jews can only return when Moshiach comes and had no SHIT'as.... no ulterior motives, no politics ...  just pashut Torah ...

See below excerpt where R' Don Yosef ibn Yichye, (He was a Rishon)writes in his Sefer on Daniel: 

"At the end of five thousand and seven hundred years to the creation of the world, perhaps a little before or a little afterwards, our time will come, with the help of G-d, so that Bnei Yisrael may dwell in their land..."

Rabbi Don Yosef dealt with calculations of the future, such as that of the coming redemption.

The precise wording of his calculations, in light of the circumstances that followed, are remarkably accurate.

That prediction 5700 would be approximately 1940..Just when the "Gedoilei Yisroel" were advising their followers not to make Aliyah!

In his introduction, Rabbi Don Yosef recounts how his mother fled Portugal to Italy while expectant with him in an attempt to flee apostasy. Upon her arrival in Pisa, Italy, she jumped off a roof in order to protect her modesty, and miraculously, both she and her unborn child survived.

She then made her way to Florence where she gave birth to Rabbi Don Yosef in 1495.

After some time, they moved near Bologna where Rabbi Don Yosef passed away in 1539.

Openly Anti-Semite Muslim Congresswoman Condemned by Chelsea Clinton and Nikki Haley

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., sparked backlash Sunday evening from members of both parties -- including former first daughter Chelsea Clinton -- after she accused a prominent lobbying group of paying members of Congress to support Israel.

Omar, who became the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress in November, responded to a Twitter post by journalist Glenn Greenwald criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for threatening to take action against Omar and another freshman lawmaker, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.

"There’s situations in our conference where a member does something that is wrong — I think you’ve seen from my own actions that I take action about it," McCarthy told reporters Friday, making an apparent reference to Republican congressman Steve King of Iowa. "I think when they stay silent, they are just as guilty ... I think this will not be the end of this, and if they do not take action then I think you will see action from myself. It’s unacceptable in this country, especially when you sit back and think about and listen to what this country went through in World War II."

Jerry Simon, 84, Passes On ... The Simons Sponsored & Housed Holocaust Survivors!

by COL and DIN

R' Yitzchok Yaakov (Jerry) Simon, a long-time resident of the Crown Heights neighborhood who carried out charitable activities without much fanfare, passed away on Shabbos morning, 4 Adar I 5779.

In 1941, his parents sent him and his brother to learn in Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch in New York. Their mother was ridiculed by her friends about sending her children to a Yeshiva. She nevertheless brought both sons to the Rebbe (then the Ramash) and said, "I leave you my entire belongings."

The two boys learned in the Yeshiva which was housed in temporary storefront locations. They continued once the Yeshiva moved to its famous location at the corner of Bedford and Dean in Brooklyn, learning Gemara and Chassidus.

After his marriage on Gimmel Tammuz, the couple was one of the early young Chabad couples to settle in the Crown Heights neighborhood and remained there even when many others moved out because of rising crime.

Jerry ran a kosher catering business and catered the Kinus Hashluchim, dinners of the Machne Israel Development Fund and for guests joining the Rebbe for the month of Tishrei.

He would secretly deliver food packages to local families and individuals in need. A widow once speaking about her hardships was told by the Rebbe, "Jerry nemt care" (Jerry will take care) of the food. On another occasion, the Rebbe commented that Jerry has a "good heart."

His charitable activities were done with a caring attitude and without expecting recognition or praise. He was also involved in supporting Keren Yisroel Aryeh Leib, a free-loan Gmach fund that assists families in Crown Heights.

His late Father and Mother sponsored many survivors that were in DP Camps in Germany. They then housed them in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and married off the orphan survivors.

He is survived by his wife Mrs. Sarah Malka Simon (nee Rosenblum), their children Mrs. Chana Etka Fefferman - Flatbush; Mrs. Tzirl Goldman - Crown Heights; Mrs. Aliza Scheinfeld - Crown Heights; Mrs. Nechama Dahan - Montreal, Canada; grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

He is also survived by his brother R' Motel Simon of Crown Heights.

The levaya will take place on Sunday at Shomrei Hadas at 1:00 PM and pass by 770 Eastern Parkway at 1:45 PM.

The family will be sitting Shiva at 391 Crown Street. 
The family kindly requests no visitors past 10:00 PM.

Baruch Dayan Ha'emes.

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.

By RICH TENORIO

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.”
