New Knesset Member Mikki Haimovitz, a Vegan, Will Have to Sit On A Leather Chair

Newly Elected MK Mickey Haimovitz, of the Blue and White party and  is vegan, asked Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein to change the seat of the chair that is used in the Knesset  because it is padded with leather taken from a cow.

Haimovitz wrote the following letter to the Knesset's director general: 

"An investigation conducted in my office shows that the upholstery of Knesset chairs is made of cow leather.

It is a known fact, that these animals undergo great suffering, and are victims of violent treatment and neglect. 

For reasons of conscience, I do not use leather in my life.
And just as it would not occur to me to order a car with seats covered with animal skin, so too all my hours in the Knesset will not be tolerable sitting on leather.
If there is a problem financing the change, I will be more than happy to fund it myself.
In the future, it may be appropriate to consider replacing all seats with non-animal skins.

Haimovitch ends her request that if it is implemented, 

"the Knesset will be able to serve as an example of preventing exploitation and suffering of animals"

The Knesset, however, decided to refuse her request:

 "Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein considered her request, but we decided to refuse it. 
In addition, the chairs in the Knesset are lined with deer skin and not cow's skin, as Haimovitz claimed!"

Sadigere Rebbe Attacked in Lakewood

The Sadigura rabbi, who is currently in Lakewood, was attacked Tuesday by a meshiginer during a reception, the Lakewood Scope reported.

According to the report, the suspect, apparently mentally ill, arrived at the home where the Rebbe was staying  and shouted  that the Rebbe is the Messiah.

He then entered the house, and began to attack the rebbe, and according to one of the Rebbe's relatives, he punched the Admor's head and "pulled his beard," miraculously the Rebbe was not seriously injured.

The gaba'im and those present in the area managed to subdue the meshiginer, took him out of the area and called the police, he escaped!

 Following the violent incident, the Rebbe left to Brooklyn, where apparently there are less meshigoyim  to celebrate Pesach!....

Nitra Yeshivah Ignores NYC Measles Regs So City Closes It and Tiferes Bnos in Williamsburg!

Nitra still thinks it lives in Europe in some small shtetel and can do whats it wants ...

Ignoring a  Huge Chillul Hashem; sticking their tongues out at City Health Officials ,even after it was discovered that over 90% of all Measles cases in the USA are from the Frum Chareidie community! 

The city Health Department shut down two Jewish schools in Brooklyn for failing to submit immunization and attendance records amid the measles outbreak.

The school Tiferes Bnos on Marcy Avenue and preschool Talmud Torah D’Nitra on Bedford Avenue will not be permitted to reopen until the department approves a corrective action plan that addresses the lapses in compliance.

Health officials previously closed five schools – including the United Talmudical Academy’s preschool run by a Williamsburg yeshiva — for failing to comply with the health commissioner’s order.

The order requires yeshivas and child care programs in certain ZIP codes to exclude unvaccinated students and to provide the Health Department with immediate access to medical and attendance records.

All five have been authorized to reopen under Health Department monitoring.

“Schools that continue to disregard our direction during the outbreak will be closed down until they can prove to the Health Department that they will comply,” Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot said in a statement.

New York Times Continues With Hatred of Jews Publishing Another Antisemitic Cartoon

The New York Times printed a second anti-Israel cartoon on Saturday in its international edition, a development that comes in the wake of the newspaper having run an antisemitic cartoon on Thursday, retracting it on Saturday, and then, later on Sunday, apologizing for running it.

This second cartoon depicts Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu wearing a robe and holding up what looks like a tablet with the Star of David on it. It depicts Netanyahu as blind and holding a selfie stick, taking a photo of himself. Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades-Ha did not immediately respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment on Monday morning in response to this revelation.

But the second cartoon was roundly criticized by the pro-Israel community.

Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt ripped the Times for printing it

The second cartoon was published on the opinion pages of the international edition of the New York Times on Saturday in print. It comes after the Times previously, last Thursday on those same pages, printed an antisemitic cartoon that the paper retracted on Saturday morning. That original antisemitic cartoon depicted a blind President Donald Trump wearing a skullcap being led by Netanyahu, who was portrayed as a dog on a leash whose collar bore the Star of David. As some experts have pointed out, that first cartoon has striking resemblance to a literal Nazi propaganda cartoon from 1940 that showed a Jewish mean on a leash leading British Prime Minister Winston Churchill around.

Chareidie Outraged At The Exposed Elbow of the Statue of Liberty

Below is a letter to the editor of the Yated that will have you wondering whether our Rebbes, Teachers and principals, have gone mad!

Now I've been screaming that the chareidie world is sick and getting sicker......

But this letter should win the prize for the most "Outrageous Bizarre Insane" Letter to the Editor of all time!

She signs the letter "A Proud BYM alumnus"

Is this what we are now "proud" of?

She laments the fact that the Statue of Liberty has an "exposed elbow" and that when she drives her children past the statue, she rushes to cover the eyes of her "pure boys."

First of all I hope she is not the one driving. Second of all, the eyes of her boys may be "pure" but their brains are now fried by having a mother that should be driven and committed to the nearest funny farm ASAP!

She writes that as a young BYM student, the girls put on a play and the background scenery had the picture of the Statue of Liberty and that her "esteemed principal, Rebbetzin Paretsky" nixed the scenery because the elbow of the statue was exposed!

Which guy ..... gets turned on by a woman's elbow? Seriously?
And an elbow of a copper statue that turned green ????

Have we all gone insane? Is this our Torah? Is this our values?
Is this the Tznees values that our Torah asks of us ...?
To cover the "exposed elbow" of a dead copper statue that is over 100 years old?

And who was going to watch this play?
Wasn't it for women only?

So should we now be worried that a lady watching the silly play with  a bunch of amateur actors, might glance at the background scenery and see  the "exposed elbow" of the statue and get turned on???

''Mesachtas Bechoros"

With this daf, we begin a new Tractate, Mesechteh, called Bechoros!

This mesechta, deals with "kodshim" ... karbonot.. sacrifices. 

However, this mesechta is unique and different than other mesechtas dealing with "kodshim" since it deals with "kodshim" that is halachicly relevant even in our days.

The previous mesechtas that we learned, Zevachim and Menachos dealt in Korbonos and the Avoideh of the kohanim, but unfortunately with the destruction of both Temples, we can no longer bring sacrifices, so the halachos of these mesachtos do not apply in our days.

Our mesacteh deals with first borns, and those laws are applicable in the here and now!

We learn about three different "first-borns":

Bechor Adam: The first born of a Jewish mother must redeemed by a kohein for 5 Selaim or Shekalim on the 30th day!

Petar Chamor: The first born of a donkey must be redeemed for a sheep and that sheep is given to a kohein.

Bechor BehimahTahor: The first born of any kosher animal is given to a kohein and has the holiness of a korban.
