Lag Be'Omer Bon-Fires Burning Down Half of Israel Including Carlebach Moshav




G-d save us from these "tzaddikim" that think this practice of which Achronim wrote is "darkei amoirie" a practice of goyim, is a mitzvah! 

The damage is way more than the Arab balloon fires.....
Time to stop this madness once and for all....
These rebbes should be made to put on fireman uniforms and help put these fires out! They of course didn't set them but they certainly encouraged them ...

Rare footage of WWII Warsaw Ghetto ....

Above Photo Shows Nazi Coward Beating a Jewish Child


The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of its kind in Europe - but the story of its inhabitants has always been told using Nazi footage, until now. 
Never-before-seen footage shot by amateur Polish filmmaker Alfons Ziolkowski in 1941 shows what life was like for Jews inside the ghetto - from children smuggling food, to a dying man on the sidewalk, to Nazi guards dishing out beatings.
The 10-minute film is the only known footage of the ghetto that was not recorded by Nazis, and provides an invaluable historical record of the Jewish experience there.
The black-and-white footage of the Jewish quarter is included in a new hour-long film 'Warsaw: A City Divided' by Polish-Canadian director Eric Bednarski.
Mr Bednarski said: 'The film footage many of us have seen from the Warsaw Ghetto was shot in 1942 by a Nazi German propaganda film crew. 
'Their work has been used in literally dozens of documentaries about the Holocaust and the Second World War. 
'It was shot from the perspective of occupiers and perpetrators, and was used for anti-Semitic propaganda purposes. 
The footage that appears in my documentary was shot by a Pole, with a completely different perspective. 
'This is the first known non-Nazi, non-propaganda footage from the Warsaw Ghetto.'

A great opportunity for the entire family, to share some thoughts on the daf ...  the  family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying.
I try to break it down so that everyone can understand it .... 
You can copy and print this without my consent, since Torah belongs to all of us.....

What is the status of a field that contains an ancient grave whose tombstone has disappeared, and we are at a loss of where the actual grave is?

Can a kohein enter that field?

The talmud on this daf states that if a field definitely has a grave in it, but we are not sure of where exactly it is ... then a kohein is not permitted to enter that entire field!

Charedi protesters flee after women strip down to bras in Yerushalayim

The Heiligeh Tzaddikim in their gold bekeshes, had no problem passing right by them!



Standoff - women in bras vs ultra-orthodox Jewish protesters against being held on their sabbath
Scores of police in Jerusalem backed up by officers on horseback trying to break up an ultra-Orthodox street protest Saturday got some help from an unexpected quarter — women who took their tops off, driving away the protesters, who are religiously forbidden from looking at them.
Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox men and boys clashed with police Saturday afternoon, blocking traffic and attacking officers during a protest against Shabbat transgression by workers preparing the Eurovision Song Contest final in Tel Aviv on the Jewish day of rest.
As protesters blocked roads beside an ultra-Orthodox area in the center of the city, at least four women stripped down to their bras, forcing the protesters to leave the area due to the prohibition against looking at women in dress deemed immodest.
Although the broadcast of the Eurovision finale started after the Sabbath,  rehearsals and production preparations took place earlier in the day. The issuing of work permits for the event led an ultra-Orthodox political party to temporarily suspend coalition negotiations and sparked the Saturday protest in the capital.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews strictly respect religious law prohibiting work on Shabbat, the weekly day of rest, from sundown Friday until nightfall Saturday.
Ahead of the Eurovision final, one of Israel’s chief rabbis called for those who keep Shabbat to extend their observance of the holy day by 20 minutes in response to the “great desecration.”
Some ultra-Orthodox Jews object to photos of women, even when clothed, in public places or media on grounds of modesty. For decades there have been repeated incidents of posters featuring women defaced in the capital and other cities.

After Much Infighting The Kaniveski Clan Breaks from Yetad Newspaper and Starts Their Own Called "HaDEGEL" ... Shimmie Glick Left Holding the Bag


On Tuesday afternoon, Charedi journalist Yair Sharki publicized a dramatic turn of events in the Chareidi Litvish world. 
According to Sharki, a new Chareidi newspaper is set to be published by the name HaDegel. The paper will be published under the auspices of Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky and will take the place of Yated Ne’eman. The first edition is set to be released around Shavuos.
Sharki took to Twitter to explain just how groundbreaking such a move is.
“In order to explain just how dramatic opening a new newspaper is in the Charedi community: 
When Rav Shach separated from Agudas Yisroel and built Degel Hatorah, the first thing he did was open the newspaper Yated Neeman.  When Rav Shmuel Auerbach left Degel Hatorah and opened up the Peleg Yerushalmi the first thing he did was open the newspaper Hapeles. This is the first condition of political independence.”
Sharki then answered a question that was asked on the above hypothesis. 
“This time, Rav Kanievsky isn’t leaving anything and is pretty much the mainstream. However, the decision to open a new newspaper instead of attempting to reign in Yated Neeman (as Maran Hagaon HaRav Shteinman did in his day) points to the internal power struggles and the internal opposition present, which is very strong, and left him with no other choice.”
Over the past few years, letters have been sent back and forth between the main power of ownership of Yated Neeman, U.S. businessman Shimon Glick and HaRav Kanievsky, each one pointing towards the difference of opinions between the two with regards to how the paper should be run. 
In light of that, and Yated Ne’eman perhaps losing their religious supervision, the new newspaper was born. The birth pangs of the new paper is a reflection of the infighting between the media moguls of Yated Ne’eman and the leaders of the Degel Hatorah movement. With this new beginning, a strong statement of disavowment is being made by Rav Kanievsky and his leadership towards Yated Ne’eman.

Reform Jews Invite Al Sharpton, inciter of the Violent Murderous Pogrom Against Jews in Crown Heights ....


by Norman Rosenbaum and Isaac Abraham
The disgraceful decision by the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism to have Al Sharpton speak this morning at a plenary session of its conference in Washington, D.C., (titled “Consultation on Conscience”) sends a very dangerous and intolerable message to the anti-Semites among us.
Anti-Semitism is on the rise, not just in the form of shouts or graffiti but also the murder of Jews. It is thus incomprehensible how the Religious Action Center could have ever made this decision.
The advertising material promoting this event describes Sharpton as “founder and President of the National Action Network … a not-for-profit civil rights organization that was formed in 1991 … one of the nation’s most renowned civil rights leaders."
We remember Al Sharpton for what he did in 1991. It was in August of that year that he led violent, murderous anti-Semitic rioters on a pogrom in Crown Heights. They terrorized that Jewish community for nearly four days, during which 183 people were injured and the innocent visiting Australian University academic Yankel Rosenbaum — brother to one of us — was murdered in cold blood amid cries of “Kill the Jew! Kill the Jew!”

The Confusion of the Satmar Lag Be'Omer Bon-Fire" in Monroe!!


Before R' Aron Teitelbaum became Monroe Satmar Rebbe, he was the Rosh Yeshivah of Satmar Yeshivah in Monroe.

At the time, there were no "Hadlakas" Bon-Fires in Satmar on Lag Be'Omer because they didn't have that "mesorah."

Satmar boys, like all boys, need entertainment, so they ran to other Rebbes to witness and to celebrate Lag Be'omer, celebrations that had huge "hadlakas," some ran to Chabad where Lag Be'Omer is a huge day and some even ran to Meron in Israel. 

This did not fair well with the Rosh Yeshivah, because he was frightened that the boys would find other Chassidic sects desirable, and would leave Satmar altogether.

So one year the then Rosh Yeshivah, R' Aron Teitelbaum, decided to gather all the boys a couple of weeks prior to Lag Be'Omer for an "asifah" to warn and threaten any boy that went to any Lag Be'omer celebrations with expulsion ... כדרכו בקודש!

His reasoning at the "asifah" was two-fold ....
Number one, this wasn't a "mesorah" in Satmar.....
and number two .... Lag Ba'omer is not a "Chutz Le'aaretz Yom Tov;" its an exclusive "Israeli Yom Tov" because  Eretz Yisroel does not  have two days of Yom Tov,  he reasoned, .... the gedoilim of Eretz Yisroel must have found it proper to make an additional Yom Tov called "Lag Be'Omer!"

A Buba Mieseh!

When he became Rebbe ... he changed his tune.....
  His gaboim, in a panicwere telling him that the majority of his chassidim are leaving Monroe on Lag Be'Omer to celebrate ...... yes..... the New Israeli Holiday!

Instead of making an "asifah" to explain the new Satmar minhag of making a huge Bon-Fire on Lag Be'Omer, which everyone would understand, he remained quiet, hoping that no one would remember that he barked against this not too long ago!

His brother, R' Zalman Leib, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg doesn't practice this new Satmar custom and does not make an hadlaka ...
I guess he isn't frightened that his chasidim after having celebrated an hadlaka with some other rebbeleh would leave him!
