A needy individual who makes a Neder Arachin, saying:
"Erki alai" "I vow to consecrate .. the sum of my own value" but does not have enough money to pay the sum stipulated in the Torah for one who proclaims this vow, must appear before the kohein to assess his financial situation and determine what sum that individual will have to pay.
However, an individual who makes an "Erki alai" vow was never permitted to pay less than one sela coin.
Likewise, an individual who makes a Neder Arachin never paid more than 50 sela, which is the maximum specified by the Torah.

Neturei Karta Are "Menachim Aveil" Family of Palestinian Terrorist
A group of Neturei Karta savages went to the Palestinian neighborhood of Isawiya in East Jerusalem to express their condolences to the family of a terrorist who was killed while attempting to kill an Israeli soldier.
The dead terrorist also was involved in planning shooting attacks on Israelis in the past but that did not stop the Neturei Karta barbarians from expressing their sympathies to the terrorist’s family.
Israeli Police Learned How to Pull Protestors By the Peyois From the Rebbes of the Yeshivos !
Recently the Chareidim are going berserk accusing the Mishtara of "Nazi Behaviors" because they pulled a Chareidie protester by his peyois!
Well...... not so fast guys....
I'm not condoning it .... but this minhag.... comes from an old "minhag yisroel" of rebbes puling the peyos of their talmidim in Yeshivah Ketana!
The Chareidim are also accusing the Police of a double standard ...
That they use force against the illegal Chareidie Protesters and do nothing with the Ethiopian protests!
I say ....
Hashem also judges Tzaddikim כחוט השערה

Metal Straws May Be Great for the Planet, But They Can Also KILL You.
Reusable metal straws may be good for the planet, but they can also kill you.
The November 2018 death of Broadstone, England, resident Elena Struthers-Gardner has just been ruled accidental. According to the Daily Echo, the 60-year-old woman collapsed in her kitchen while holding a glass — whose 10-inch steel straw drove through her left eye socket and pierced her brain.
Specifically, Struthers-Gardner was carrying a jar-style glass with a screw-top lid that held the straw in place.

Emergency personnel continued their search as night fell, for a Rebbe (counselor) at a day camp in Norfolk Virginia who was swept out to sea, early Tuesday afternoon.
Tefillos were being recited around the globe for Reuven Tzvi ben Esther Baila who went missing in the water off False Cape State Park Tuesday afternoon.

The missing person has been named as Rabbi Reuven Bauman. He is a Rebbi at Yeshiva Toras Chaim in Norfolk Virginia.

KOSHER SEX IN TEL AVIV
Last week, The Jerusalem Post ran a story on my daughter Chana, who recently opened the world’s first Kosher Sex store.
The first one is in Tel Aviv. She trusts there will be many other actual stores to complement the online sites of Kosher.Sex and SensualRevolution.com, from which the store stems.
The store was opened to coincide with the new 20th anniversary edition of Kosher Sex, the book I published in 1999 that at the time was extremely controversial but has, two decades after its original appearance, gone mainstream.
“I wanted to open a store that is more of a boutique; that promotes sensuality and intimacy between couples in a framework of Jewish values,” my daughter Chana told reporter Hannah Brown, who then asked her whether her father approves of the Tel Aviv and online store.
My daughter answered that I gave the store “my blessing.” I was not aware of the story or its content until it appeared and now that I have read it, I feel I must comment.

Outrage At Associated Press That Targeted Jewish American Who Supports Israel
![]() |
Simon Falic |
Last week, the Associated Press ran a hit job on a successful American businessman.
Simon Falic and his two brothers own the Duty Free Americas chain, a private company that runs duty free stores in airports throughout the United States and Latin America.
They also happen to be Jewish. Simon Falic in particular is a powerful advocate for Jewish causes worldwide and for the State of Israel.
Through their family foundation, Simon Falic and his wife donate to dozens of organizations in Israel. The causes they support run the gamut from medical research to Jewish education. They support synagogue construction and refurbishment; archaeological excavations and preservation of archaeological sites; battered women’s shelters and day care centers; and the construction of new Jewish communities in Israel.
AP’s hit piece centers on Falic’s charitable work.
The title of the article gave the game away. It read, “U.S. duty free owners give millions to settlements.”
The obvious question is: so what?
There is nothing even vaguely illegal about Falic’s charitable undertakings. And indeed, the article doesn’t accuse him of committing or facilitating any crime.
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.
