Watch Chareidiem "Leidegeiers" Fighting With Cab Driver While Protesting Eurovision

 
These crazed fanatics with nothing to do on these long Shabbossim were protesting Chillul Shabbas of Eurovision
But they are protesting in Jerusalem .... Eurovision was in Tel Aviv...who in Yerusahlayim cares about Chillul shabbos in Tel Aviv

What's confusing is ... that last year the Chareidim Caused Chillul shabbos with their Lag Be"omer celebrations that took place Motzei Shabbos.. all the police and transportation was 
done on Shabbos itself.. yet no one protested

They don't care about Shabbos .. they are bored  to tears with these long Shabbosim

Children of Settlers Ask Hashem To Protect Them and Never Forsake Them!


Israeli UN Ambassador Explains Why Israel Belongs Legally To The Jewish People !

This lesson is a lesson for Satmar too, since they just like the Arabs deny Jewish rights to the Land of Israel !

William Handler Defender of A Rapist"..Now the Guru For Anti-Vaxxers!

On Monday night in Monsey, the Atrium was packed with ultra-Orthodox Jews. 
The ballroom of the massive catering hall usually hosts lively Hasidic weddings. 

This week it welcomed hundreds of people from around the New York City area who had come to this suburb — itself home to a large population of Haredim — to hear from people who believe that vaccines are harmful, and that anyone trying to get you to vaccinate your child is in the pocket of pharmaceutical corporations. 
But while the audience was almost entirely religious, only one of the speakers at the “vaccine symposium” was:
Rabbi Hillel Handler, who has become something of a poster child for the minority of Hasidic Jews who are rejecting calls from within their community and without to vaccinate their children for measles and other diseases.
It’s not Handler’s first time entering the spotlight as a lightning rod for controversy: He has defended numerous unpopular people, ideas and practices over the years.
“When something is unpopular or no one has the courage to say it, they come to me,” Handler told the Daily News. “If not me, who?”
Handler did not respond to multiple requests for comment left with his family.
The national measles outbreak is now close to the largest since the creation of the measles vaccine. 
It continues to spread in the Hasidic communities of upstate New York and New York City due to frequent travel of Hasidic Jews to Israel, where there is an even larger outbreak occurring, as well as the high density of Hasidic neighborhoods and the near-daily social gathering of children in schools and places of worship.
Handler lives in Brooklyn, and is a member of the Satmar Hasidic group. His views on vaccines fall into the same pattern as many of his other opinions: They are far from not only the political mainstream, but from the consensus beliefs of most Hasidic Jews.
Handler also believes that crimes of sexual assault should be dealt with by rabbis, not the police, and defended Rabbi Yisroel Weingarten, a New York rabbi who was sentenced to 30 years in prison for molesting his daughter.
Handler spoke in Monsey on Monday alongside secular saints of the anti-vaccine movement, including the disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who helped kickstart the modern anti-vaccine movement with a since-debunked study linking vaccinations to autism.
In his speech, Handler suggested that Hasidic Jews are being attacked in Brooklyn for simply sneezing on the sidewalk, and has falsely suggested that New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is targeting Jews because he is secretly German. (Handler, 77, is reportedly a Holocaust survivor.)
“We Hasidim have been chosen as the target,” Handler said on Monday, according to The New York Times. “The campaign against us has been successful.”
Handler also made several erroneous statements about vaccines and the diseases they are meant to protect against. 
Measles vaccines are safe for the vast, vast majority of recipients, and there is no link between vaccination and autism.
To be sure, Handler’s views are far outside the norm in the Hasidic world. While some schools in Rockland County, the suburban county north of New York that is home to several large Hasidic communities, have vaccination rates that barely reach two-thirds that of the state’s average rate, others have vaccination rates at or better than national averages. Hasidic rabbis have repeatedly encouraged their constituents to get themselves and their children vaccinated.
Handler has played into concerns among Hasidic Jews that government agencies are anti-religious and are determined to disrupt their highly traditional, often socially insular communities.
In a statement issued Wednesday titled “Nonsense and Insults at a Recent Monsey Gathering,” Agudath Israel of America, the largest Hasidic umbrella group, called Handler’s attack on de Blasio “deeply offensive.”
“It is unfortunate that he was allowed to share his imaginings with others,” the statement read.
Speaking to the New York Times on Tuesday, Handler appeared to walk back his opposition to vaccines somewhat.
“I don’t mind if someone takes a vaccine. It’s not my business,” he told a reporter. “What am I, a fascist? Am I going to bring down the law?”

Michaela Levit's "Lone IDF Soldier" Body Will Be Flown Back To South Florida





The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 pm, Star of David funeral home 7701 Bailey Rd, North Lauderdale, 33068

They bled, he fled.


A midtown plastic surgeon has apparently left the country, leaving a trail of patients upset about botched tummy tucks and liposuctions and unable to get their medical records.
The state Office of Professional Medical Conduct yanked Dr. Amnon Eric Sadeh’s license earlier this month after he failed to produce requested medical records and then did not show up for a disciplinary hearing.
Investigators had been trying since March 2016 to get copies of records for five of Sadeh’s patients, but the doctor stopped responding in July 2016, state records show.
He sold his Tribeca condo in August 2016 for $3.2 million.
The state followed up with certified letters but got no answer. In August 2018, Sadeh’s mother said the surgeon was in Israel, according to state Health Department documents.
Ana Kardashian said she never got records for her daughter’s 2015 nose job despite complaining to the state. She said her daughter landed in the hospital after Sadeh overprescribed pain medication after surgery.
“The New York Department of Health — that’s the most upsetting,” the mom said. “I would assume they would do something more efficiently, but they made us wait for a very long time and then … they said the guy cannot be located.”
Sadeh’s disappearance also put former patients seeking to sue him in a bind. Joshua Fogel, who represented two women who claimed he botched their tummy tucks, said the lawsuits couldn’t go forward because they couldn’t locate Sadeh.
The lawsuits were among four malpractice claims filed against Sadeh, 58, since 2016.
A message left for Sadeh with his mother was not returned.
“As soon as it became clear that this physician would be uncooperative, the department immediately took action to ensure this physician can no longer practice medicine in New York,” said DOH spokeswoman Jill Montag who said the agency was still working to try to help patients get their records.

Jewish-American author Herman Wouk dead at 103


Jewish American Pulitzer Prize-winning author Herman Wouk died on Friday at the age of 103.

Wouk was just 10 days shy of his 104th birthday and was working on a book until the end, said his literary agent Amy Rennert, according to The Associated Press.

Rennert said Wouk died in his sleep at his home in Palm Springs, California, where he settled after spending many years in Washington, D.C.

Wouk was born in the Bronx in 1915, the second of three children born to Esther and Abraham Isaac Wouk, Russian Jewish immigrants from what is today Belarus.

The household was religious — his mother was a rabbi’s daughter — and devoted to books. His father would read to him from Sholem Aleichem.
His Jewish faith inspired his stories of religious values and secular success.

Wouk won the Pulitzer in 1952 for The Caine Mutiny. A film adaptation, starring Humphrey Bogart, came out in 1954 and Wouk turned the courtroom scene into the play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.

Other highlights included Don’t Stop the Carnival, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance.

One of Wouk’s most influential books was This Is My God, published in 1959 and an even-handed but firm defense of Judaism. For much of his life, noted AP, he studied the Talmud daily and led a weekly Talmud class. He gave speeches and sermons around the country and received several prizes, including a lifetime achievement award from the Jewish Book Council.
