Rabbis from Elad ....All Dogs are Bad and their owners Accursed
More than a dozen rabbis from the city of Elad near Tel Aviv issued an edict declaring all dogs bad and warning residents that keeping them will make them accursed.
The edict, dated to June 14, contains the signatures of all the Sephardic rabbis in Elad and the city’s chief rabbi, Mordechai Malka, the news site Bhol reported Friday. Most of Elad's approximately 46,000 residents are Charedi.
“We have heard and have seen that lately, a serious phenomenon has spread in our city Elad, in which young boys and children walk around publicly with dogs. This is strictly forbidden, as explained in the Talmud and by the Rambam, anyone raising a dog is accursed and especially in our city where many women and children are afraid of dogs,” the anti-canine edict states.
The rabbi of neighboring Holon, Avraham Yosef, is quoted as writing: “I do not find any grounds for permitting any dog whatsoever in any manner.”
The term “bad dog” means “any dog, for it barks on whomever it does not know and because of its bark it is a bad dog even if does not bite,” the edit states.
People who keep dogs for medical needs should appear before the local rabbinical court so it may rule on their matter, the edict says.
The authors’ interpretation of references to dogs in Judaism is strict compared to other readings by Israeli Orthodox chief rabbis.
Rabbi Uziel Elyahu, the chief Orthodox rabbi of the northern municipality of Misgav, in 2002 ruled that keeping guard dogs is allowed, as well as guide dogs and ones kept “to develop a person’s emotions.”
Elad was established in 1998. More than half of its population are below 18.

"If you Are a "Rebbe" who Goes on "Vacation to Switzerland To Bathe in the Mineral Baths .....Don't Give Me Musar About Chodash Ellul!"
The guy is ranting about the minhag of Chassidishe Rebbes that vacation in Switzerland, Austria, etc. ; bathe in the mineral baths and take strolls in the mountains, and while eating supper on a golden plate he writes the Ellul Musser Shmooze he is going to give to the poor shleppers that are stuck in the hot muggy city and can't afford the luxuries the "rebbes" have
How Viznitz Embarrass the Poor
Viznitz has a minhag that when they make a wedding of a child or grandchild they also invite the poor but not in the same hall, G-d forbid!
They invite poor hungry people to eat but then they also invite hundreds of chassidim to surround the poor to watch them gobble at their food!
Then after the poor get their fill, they stand in line, and the rebbe gives each one 100 Shekel.. all while being ogled by hundreds ..
If this some kind of Viznitz minhag ...
they should cut out this sick show ASAP!

Leftist Bastards Now After the Jewish Bernie Marcus of Home Depot .... Because He Backs Trump
After several Facebook posts this week on the issue, Marcus dropped the hammer on his critics on Wednesday. Here is what he wrote in a new Facebook post:
“I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another great day. I've been celebrating with friends, family and the community since I turned 90. I've told you about the gracious gift of $117 million that was collected and given in my honor to four charities that mean a lot to me. All that happiness blew up because I said in a newspaper interview that I have supported and will continue to support Donald Trump.
Boom!
Negative stories... vicious threats, without cause, to boycott the company that has enabled my foundation to give billions to support autism, medical research, education, heart and neurological issues like stroke, and to help our veterans. The company that I retired from in 2002 and have not had a business relationship with in almost 20 years. A company that has employed more than a half-million people. The people who work there are affiliated with both political parties or no party at all. They are of all religions and all colors and backgrounds. Why would people want to hurt them?
All because I give my voice and some of my money to our President. Am I in China? Argentina? Russia? That's what it feels like to me.
It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings. It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you've got the wrong guy.
In the next ten years, God willing, I will accomplish more to save this world than my critics will do even if they had forty lifetimes.”
We aren’t sure what other 90-year-olds are having a similar week to Marcus’. But, it’s not hard to see what drove his success — he doesn’t take any BS.

Rebbe Reb Ber
Rebbe Reb Ber, all alone with no chassidim in New Hampshire!
It seems bears enjoy a good view just like any other visitor to the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
A photo snapped June 29 by an employee at the Omni Mount Washington Resort shows a black bear holding onto a rail on the veranda and looking out. The photo was taken around 5 a.m. and the employee, Sam Geesaman, said he had only wanted to get a photo of the sunrise.
Instead, he caught the bear as it climbed stairs in search of a trash can. The bear moved on after Gessaman loudly clapped and stomped.
New Hampshire routinely has reports of bears finding their way into homes, campgrounds and even apartment complexes.
Last year, food shortages were blamed for a sharp increase in bear-human conflicts and the highest numbers of bear killings since 2014.
Will Jews leave their homes to come to Israel as a consequence of today’s unprecedented antisemitism?
This month marks 69 years since the State of Israel passed the “Law of Return,” giving the right to every Jew to come to Israel as an immigrant.
How significant it is that this law emerged in the aftermath of the Holocaust, especially as we came to comprehend that six million Jews were massacred – not only because of Hitler and his barbaric acts, but because of the many countries that barred their gates to Jews trying to escape Europe at a time when it was still possible for them to hope for refuge elsewhere.
A Jewish Agency shaliach serving in the United Kingdom in the 1970s spoke words that resonate with me to this day. He told the Aviv (young) section of British WIZO, “We lost six million Jews not simply because of Hitler but also because of the passive collaboration of the free world.” The countries that closed their gates share responsibility for the horrific annihilation of two-thirds of European Jewry.
