Jews Upset Because Some "Shvartzah" Florida School Principal Says He Cannot Take A Position On The Holocaust

A "Shvartzah" high school principal in Boca Raton, Florida told a parent that inquired about the school’s educational plan for teaching the Holocaust that “Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened.”

Spanish River Community High School principal William Latson in an email in April 2018 first told the parent, that “the curriculum is to be introduced but not forced upon individuals as we all have the same rights but not all the same beliefs.”

The exchange of emails was first reported by the Palm Beach Post, which obtained the emails through a public records request.

When the parent, who is not named in the report to protect the identity of her child, asked the principal to clarify his remarks, telling him that the Holocaust is a “factual, historical event,” he doubled down saying: “you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.” He said that as a school district employee he cannot take a position on the Holocaust.

The school with about 2,500 students is said to have one of the county’s largest Jewish student populations in the county, according to the report.

In a statement to The Post, Latson, who has been principal since 2011, apologized, saying his email “did not accurately reflect my professional and personal commitment to educating all students about the atrocities of the Holocaust.”

The school’s educational offerings on the Holocaust exceed the state’s requirements, according to Latson, though not all of the offerings actually take place in the classroom. The parent proposed a change, adopted this school year, which has every 10th grader read “Night” by Elie Wiesel.

Latson was not disciplined for his emails.

3,000 Year-Old Town Where Dovid Ha'Melech Hid From Shaul Found

Researchers from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, believe they have discovered the Philistine town near Kiryat Gat, immortalized in the Biblical narrative.

Ziklag is mentioned multiple times in the Bible in relation to David (in 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel).

 According to the Biblical narrative, Achish, King of Gat, allowed David to find refuge in Ziklag while fleeing King Saul and from there David also departed to be anointed King in Hebron. 

According to scripture, Ziklag was also the scene of a dramatic event, in which the Amalekites, desert nomads, raided and burned the town taking women and children captive.

Chaim Binyomin Biegeleisen 11-year-old Dies After Being Hit in "Hit And Run" in Yerushalyim

An 11-year-old boy who was severely hurt in a hit-and-run in Jerusalem in April succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, the hospital said.

Chaim Binyamin Biegeleisen was struck by a car in the Ramot neighborhood in north Jerusalem on the Passover holiday.

The suspected driver, Netanel Sandrusi, 23, fled the scene and turned himself in a week later, following a manhunt. The abandoned car was found hours after the accident near a West Bank settlement adjacent to the city.

Sandrusi, a Jerusalem resident, turned himself in to authorities, but has maintained his innocence and initially said he didn’t know police were looking for him since he is religious and isn’t exposed to “secular media.”

He was charged with the fatal accident, while a passenger in the car, Meir Gamliel, stands accused of taking the wheel after the collision and fleeing the scene.

Ehud Barak Preaches Satmar’s ‘Three Oaths’ Line Against Zionism

Score this one in favor of the argument that the extremists on either side of any debate are bound to meet sooner or later. 

We’ve gotten used to extreme anti-Zionists such as Neturei Karta collaborating with the worst anti-Semites in Tehran, but we did not expect the former IDF chief of staff, former prime minister and former defense minister Ehud Barak to start citing the traditional Satmar anti-Zionist line. 

Well, he did, on Sunday morning, and it’s not clear at this point whether or not he had been to either of the Rabbis Teitelbaums’ tish on Shabbat.

Here is what Barak said verbatim on Reshet Bet radio Sunday morning, on the occasion of announcing the official name of his new party (Democratic Israel), starts around min. 5:

“The extreme right has diverted the ship of Israel to directions against which the Talmud has already warned us, about two catastrophes that have happened in history as a result of such a policy of false messianism, which pushes to usher in the end, and tries to dictate to God Almighty a schedule of when to send the Messiah; which storm the wall and provokes world powers and sows baseless hatred. These three Talmudic prohibitions are transgressed every day by people wearing kippot and priding themselves on their title of rabbis, but in fact, they falsify and distort Judaism, Zionism and Israelism.”

Holy red heifer.

Grown "Men" In Bet Shemesh Interfere With Crew That Remove Grafittee Calling Mayor Aliza Bloch "Hitler"

Authorities clean up graffiti in Beit Shemesh appearing to say "Aliza Bloch is Hitler" 

Nooooooooo! These weren't kids looking for trouble... these weren't kids bored out of their minds ...

These were "grown men" married barbarians who were interfering with the cleaning crews........

These are the same guys that schnoor every day in the shuls in Bet Shemesh Alef and Gimmel ..

Ye! let's keep funding these miserable parasites!

Minor scuffles broke out Friday in Beit Shemesh between the police and ultra-Orthodox demonstrators as authorities cleaned up graffiti against the Jerusalem-area city’s mayor.

Video footage showed a group of ultra-Orthodox men approaching an official cleaning the graffiti, while police officers tried to stop them. In a second video, shoving could be seen as the police tried to keep the demonstrators away.

The graffiti in Hebrew appeared to read “Aliza Bloch = Hitler.”

According to the Kan public broadcaster, the graffiti seemed to be in protest of the demolishing of an illegally built synagogue in the city earlier in the week.

A photo of other graffiti purportedly from the city labeled Bloch a “terrorist” over the demolition.

“To call Aliza Bloch, the mayor of Beit Shemesh, a terrorist is grave incitement and we can’t be silent,” centrist Blue and White MK Yair Lapid wrote on Twitter.

Lapid called on police to probe the graffiti and arrest whoever was behind it. “Terrorists are people who murder not a mayor in Israel,” he said.

Bloch, a religious Zionist woman, was elected Beit Shemesh’s first female mayor last year in a runoff against ultra-Orthodox incumbent Moshe Abutbol.

Beit Shemesh in recent years has seen conflict between ultra-Orthodox, non-ultra-Orthodox and secular residents over restrictions on women’s dress and gender-segregated seating on public buses. In a widely publicized incident in 2011, an 8-year-old Orthodox girl was spat on by ultra-Orthodox men on her way to school for her perceived immodest dress.

Will "Off the Derech" be the Greatest "Kiddush Hashem?

RIVKAH LAMBERT ADLER

Yerachmiel Ziegler finally found his happy place in Israel. But it wasn’t a smooth ride to his current destination.

Born and raised Orthodox in Monsey, NY, Ziegler first visited Israel on a family trip when he was seven. “I remember being one of the first people to go on the Kotel tunnel tours. I had an uncle who was one of the excavators. That left an impression on me,” he recalled.

He has visceral memories of Bnei Brak as a child. “It smelled like a different country. The old buildings were on stilts. Everything there reminded me [that] I was in a different world.”

Ziegler started his musical career early in life. Inspired by older brothers who auditioned for the Tzlil V’zemer Boy’s Choir, Ziegler joined at age seven, two years younger than the choir’s minimum age.

"MAD Magazine" Closes ... Was Infused With Jewish Humor!

Mad Magazine’s gap-toothed mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, always said, “What? Me Worry?” and now there is really nothing left to trouble him, as the iconoclastic humor magazine announced it is shutting down after nearly 70 years of publication.

The magazine said Wednesday that its next issue would no longer be available on newsstands and would only be sold to subscribers, and that subsequent issues would feature only previously published content.

''Two Animals Together "

Is it possible for someone to set aside a pair of animals as Ma'aser simultaneously?

On this daf, Rabbi Yochanan says that if a person leads cattle out of an animal pen and two animals exit simultaneously, the person should continue to lead the animals in pairs.

The two animals exiting together as the tenth pair are both deemed sacred and consecrated as Ma'aser Beheimah.

25th Year Yurzeit of the Rebbe of Lubavitch!

"מה זרעו בחיים - אף הוא בחיים"

    

Twenty-five years is enough time to pause and reflect. This is what Jews around the world are doing this Shabbat as they observe the 25th yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. For hassidim who stood in the New York cemetery that ominous day, it’s almost unfathomable that so much time has passed.
 

I remember the funeral vividly. With thousands gathered in the cemetery, I was standing inside the ohel, the granite-walled grave site, with some 75 others as the Rebbe was interred near his father-in-law and predecessor, Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Schneerson. After listening to the Rebbe’s secretaries recite a tearful Kaddish, there was an eerie silence. We stood there, wondering what was next, still unbelieving and filled with unasked questions about how we as a community, as hassidim, could proceed. 

Rabbanut Nullifies "Heter Meah Rabbanim" of Michael Eizenbach the Get Refuser

This guy, Michael Eizenbach , is a Toldos Aaron Chasid ... the Chassidus that wear the "Golden Bekeshes" ! 

He is a father of 5 and refuses to give his wife a "get."

First he went to the Eida Ha'chareidis and they told him that he must divorce his wife .... so he ran to the Rabbanut...and they told him that he cannot leave his wife an Agunah and must give her a "get!"

So he ran to Europe where he somehow convinced some old Rebbele to give him a "Heter Meah Ra'bonnim" and married someone else!

As you probably know that Biblically a man can have many wives, but once the "Issur Rabbeiny Gershon" kicked in, the rabbis forbade a guy to have another one ....

So what do you do, if a guy winds up with a woman that he claimes is insane?

 The rabbis came up with a loophole...that if the husband manages to get 100 rabbis to sign off, they allow him to remarry !

What they do then is put the "Get" in escrow and the wife can pick up the "get" in Bais Din anytime she wants ....

Not so fast.....

The husband can put all kinds of conditions and restrictions on the "get in escrow"...and that's exactly what this menuval did ...

When the wife came to the Bais Din in Europe to collect her "get" they gave her so many conditions that it made it impossible for her to claim it ...

A similar story as with the EVIL RASHA Meir Kin

But this time he met his match and the Rabbanut in Israel nullified the "Heter Meah Rabbanim" on the basis that he got the Heter under false pretenses....

And so now... the Eizenbach guy is fighting the Rabbanut ...

Good Luck!
