London Dayan Yonathan Abraham Forced to Resign Because of Massive Scandal



After serving in the rabbinical courts and appointed as a member of the Great Court in London at the age of 37, the Dayan, Rabbi Avraham Avraham, announced suddenly on Saturday that he resigned from the Bais Din  and his Kehillah but did not explain the reason behind the resignation.

It was very sudden, and we have no idea why," said a senior London rabbi whose name was not published to the British Jewish Chronicle website.
Chief Justice Rabbi Menachem Galai said after the surprising resignation: "The London court supports you and your communities and your friends, so I want to reassure you that the preparations are already underway to ensure that Dayan at a high level will be found alongside the other distinguished judges."
"It is a sense of responsibility and sadness that I declare today that I am resigning from the Court of London, the Beit Din is the pillar of our community and it was a great honor and privilege to serve as Dayan for the last 17 years," said Rabbi Yonatan Avraham, 
Harav Avraham studied in Gateshead, Lakewood, New Jersey and Jerusalem. He had previously lived in Australia, where he served for three years as a judge at the Rabbinical Court in Melbourne.

Girl Who Executed Nazis After Seducing Them Dies Aged 92

A World War II heroine who used her harmless appearance to gain the trust of Nazis before executing them has died in The Netherlands, aged 92.
Freddie Oversteegen was born in Haarlem, near Amsterdam on September 6, 1925 and raised by her communist mother.
She was just 14 when she joined the Dutch resistance, the Daily Mail reports.
Together with her older sister Truus and their friend Hannie Schaft, she blew up bridges and railway tracks with dynamite, smuggled Jewish children out of concentration camps and executed as many Nazis as she could, using a firearm hidden in the basket of her bike.

Two Israelis among dead as Ethiopian Airlines plane crashes, killing 157 aboard

 An Ethiopian Airlines flight with 157 people thought to be on board crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday morning from Ethiopia’s capital while headed to Nairobi, the airline said.
The airline later confirmed that two Israeli passengers were on board the aircraft that went down.
There were no immediate details on what caused the crash of the Boeing 737-8 MAX plane, which was new and had been delivered to the airline in November.
Ethiopia’s state broadcaster EBC said all passengers were dead, adding that they included 33 nationalities.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry had said earlier it was checking whether Israeli passengers were aboard and monitoring the situation.
The Addis Ababa-Nairobi route is often used by Israelis, as there are no direct flights between Israel and Kenya. Channel 13 reported that the plane that crashed had been in Israel as recently as last Wednesday.
The state-owned Ethiopian Airlines, widely considered the best-managed airline in Africa, calls itself Africa’s largest carrier and has ambitions of becoming the gateway to the continent.

''Excising the Gid Hanasheh (Sciatic Nerve)"

On this daf the Talmud relates a story, that shows us the great fear the rabbis had anyone violating Torah prohibitions.

It happened that Bar Piyouli was standing before Shmuel and was excising the gid hanasheh ( One is prohibited to consume the gid hanasheh) from a piece of thigh meat.
He was cutting it flush off the surface, in accordance with the opinion of Reb Yehuda.

Shmuel said to him 
" Dig deeper into the meat,..... had I not witnessed this myself, you would have fed me something forbidden."

When Bar Piyouli heard that Shmuel was accusing him of feeding him that which was prohibited, he got frightened and the knife fell from his hand!

Shmuel to comfort him, said:
 " Do not fear, I am not accusing you of being ignorant or negligent, I understand that the one who taught you how to excise the gid hanasheh, taught you in accordance with the opinion of R Yehuda, that one can remove the part of the gid hanasheh that is Biblically prohibited, but the meat surrounding it, does not have to be removed."

However my opinion is in accordance with R' Meir that one has to remove the meat that is attached to the gid hanasheh as well, I therefore suggested that you "dig deeper."

DIN: I am paraphrasing the words of Shmuel!

‘Shtisel’ The Popular Israeli Drama on Netflix!


The Netflix show “Shtisel” is addictive to many viewers, as the phenomenally popular Israeli drama about a Charedi family living in the Geulah neighborhood of Jerusalem immediately draws you into the characters’ lives. 
They include the 60-something Reb Shulem Shtisel, the widowed classroom rabbi; his daughter, Giti, whose nefarious husband has run off to Argentina, abandoning her and their five children; and Shulem’s youngest child, handsome 27-year-old Rabbi Akiva, or “Kive,” hiding the sketchbook filled with his outstanding illustrations, knowing that pursuing a career as an artist would be scandalous.
Developed by Abot Hameiri Productions for the Israeli satellite service yes, the show originally was broadcast in Israel in 2013. Over its two seasons, it racked up more than a dozen Israeli TV awards. 
The success of the show that trains its camera on a little-known world is due, in part, to the show’s creators having lived this life. Yehonatan Indursky grew up in a Charedi family and attended the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, while Ori Elon attended a yeshiva in Efrat.  

30 "Peleg" Gangsters Arrested While Blocking Jerusalem Light Rail!!.


Notice that these "leidegeiers"  are not only teenagers that are blocking and disrupting traffic, but some of them are "big zhlubs" who never worked a day in their entire lives being supported by their disheveled tired wives .. who are busy cooking, baking and taking care of their crying dirty little toddlers!! 
Does this  Alter Kocker look like he ever worked????

How about this Szhlub? His dumb Wife Thinks He is in Kollel!!

Some 500 protesters physically blocked the light rail tracks and several roads in the capital, while shouting insults at police officers and calling them Nazis.

 “The draft is religious persecution,” “we’ll die and won’t join the army,” “to prison but never to the army,” called the protesters.

Police forces were using crowd dispersal methods in an attempt to reopen main roads in the capital.
The protesters belong to the extreme Jerusalem Faction that refuses to acknowledge the state’s authority, and refuse to show up at the IDF draft facility even for the purpose of getting their exemption.

The faction’s leaders called on their followers to take to the streets after a draft dodger was arrested. 

However, in light of the upcoming elections, another motive could be distinguishing the Jerusalem Faction from the mainstream Haredi public, represented in the Knesset by the Shas and the United Torah Judaism parties, who the extremists believe to be collaborators with draft laws.

In reality, Yeshiva students do not get arrested for their refusal to join the IDF— since the draft law allows them to continue their studies and avoid the draft. However, since the faction’s followers refuse to show up for exemption hearings, the IDF considers them to be draft dodgers and eventually some get arrested.
