Harry Potter Star Cries Upon Learning of Jewish Ancestor’s Suicide, Decries Anti-Semitism

Daniel Radcliffe sobbed on BBC TV when he read about his Jewish great-grandfather’s suicide, most likely the result of his experience with anti-Semitism.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, 29, was emotional last week while filming the BBC TV series “Who Do You Think You Are?” During the filming, he was presented with his great-grandfather Samuel (Sam) Gershon’s suicide note and sobbed at its reading, The Sun reported.

The Begiining of the End For Barak Who vows to sue Daily Mail for ‘sordid insinuations’ over his ties to Epstein

Former prime minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday said he would sue the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper for defamation after it published pictures of him entering Jeffrey Epstein’s New York residence in January 2016, around the same time several young women tied to the financier also came by.

The Mail heavily insinuated that Barak’s visit to his business partner was not strictly business-related.

The photos published by the paper were not new, and were originally published in 2016 under the title: “The busy life of Jeffrey Epstein: Group of gorgeous Manhattan ‘it’ girls in and out of the billionaire sex offender’s mansion before Clinton pal flies off in private jet with comely brunette.”

Barak was included among the photos, but only as “an unidentified man” who entered the home accompanied by a bodyguard.

The Real Story Behind the Tragic Death of Rabbi Bauman in Norfolk VA

How the Israeli Press Covered the Story!

Teveryeh's Mayor That Started a "Chillul Shabbos" Campaign ... Ousted ... Couldn't Pass a budget!

There was a new "sheriff" in the town of Teveryah, who was elected as Mayor a few months ago in the last election.

His whole campaign was to turn the Holy City of Teveryah into a "Chilonie City" like Tel Aviv, with full blown "Chillul Shabbos."

The only glitch he had, and he totally forgot about that ... ...... was "G-d!"

The rule in Israel is that when a Mayor in a town gets elected, he has to put together a coalition and pass a budget....

If he can't, then the entire office of the Mayor and its staff collapses and the "Misrad Hapnim" the Interior Minister, can either call new elections or appoint temporarily a new crew!

Last night, G-d .... the force that the Mayor totally forget about ... had him voted out because he "couldn't pass a budget" and he will now look for another job!

He is in court fighting his ouster but he is barking up the wrong tree... he should save his money and send it to DIN!

At any rate ...

I almost forgot my point of this posting ....

and B"H, I remembered ...

How did it come that a Holy City like Teveryah would get enough votes to vote in a "Chilonie" who hates Frum people and who openly ran on a platform to "secularize Teveryeh"?

Guess what???? You sitting??

I'm not talking about the mishagayim" who don't vote at all ... because "the Torah forbids voting in Zionist elections."

I'm talking about "normal" frum people who vote ..

Well, the  frumies themselves were fighting like cats and dogs ...

"askanim"  put up multiple people for Mayor and other top posts and so not one frum guy had enough votes, and  because of the "infighting"  they split the vote and so it happened that this "frum hating" guy got voted in ....

They are lucky that this time, G-d intervened and made sure that this Chilonie Mayor got ousted ....

But in the future if they still don't have "achdus" ....... 

who knows what will happen!

Close Call!

''An Ancestral Field and an Acquired Field "

"Sedeh Achuza," an ancestral field, refers to a field in Eretz Yisroel whose owners inherited the land from generations of direct ancestors dating back to the days of Yehoshuah Bin Nun who apportioned Eretz Yisroel among the Shvatim, the tribes.

The term "Sedeh Achuza" comes from the word "acheeza" or "holding," because it refers to land that belonged to or was held by a family that was granted the land in perpetuity.

Even if such land is sold, it returns to the ownership of the seller during the Yovel, the Jubilee.

"Sedeh Mik'neh," an acquired field, is a field purchased from a family who owned a Sadeh Achuza.

A "Sedeh Mik'neh" would only belong to the individuals who acquired it,until the Yovel, at which point ownership of the field would revert back to its initial owners.

Shmuly Yanklowitz Whose Mother Was A Shiksa ...Says "Intermarriage is Not a Second Holocaust!"

This Yanklowitz character calls himself an "orthodox rabbi," but is part of the "Choveive Torah" gang that tries to integrate into the "frum" communities to destroy them from within. and Choveive Torah gave him his "smicha." 

Don't get fooled by his "heimishe" name ...."Shmuly Yanklowitz, .... his mother is a devout Christian, and he supposedly had a frum conversion but no one knows who converted him....in his article, below, he admits exposing his Jewish Children to Christianity stating:

"my children continue to be enriched through diverse exposure to my family’s quilt of different faiths. Rather than shun interfaith families, let’s celebrate the unique contributions they bring to Jewish life,"

To give an idea how far this guy is from being a frum rabbi, he was named by the "frum hating" Forward as one of the 50 most influential Jews of 2016 ...  
 and The Daily Beast in 2012 listed Yanklowitz as one of the 50 most influential rabbis in America .....You can be sure that the Daily Beast didn't list the Noveminsker or the Matisdorfer Rav as part of the  50 rabbis...

Recently the Education Minister in Israel, Rafi Peretz made a comment that "intermarriage in the US" is like a "Second Holocaust.".... 

It's probably worse since even according to Bnei Brit, a reform oriented organization, the rate of assimilation in the US is over 86%.

At any rate, this statement hit a nerve with Shmuly, and he wrote an article attacking Peretz in The Times of Israel.

Here is his article ..

Body Of Rabbi Reuven Bauman Has Been Found By Misaskim Boat

 The body of Rav Reuven Bauman Z”L who heroically jumped into the ocean to save a student, has been found. He was located at around 1:00PM by a boat of volunteers from Misaskim of Maryland searching off the coast of North Carolina, and positively identified by authorities. The family was notified moments ago of the sad news.

The tragic story united Klal Yisroel, as Jews around the globe Davened, gave Tzedakah, and learned – first for a miracle of finding him alive, and then for the miracle of locating his body so he can be brought to proper Kevuras Yisroel.

 Dozens of volunteers traveled hundreds of miles to search all day Sunday, with boats, jet skies, and helicopters.

Yossi Margareten, Coordinator of Chaveirim of Rockland along with the members of the Achiezer Organization had been coordinating the search, and worked tirelessly all day and night since Rabbi Bauman was swept out to sea last Tuesday.

The Virginia Beach Police and Virginia Beach Fire Department had searched continuously since he had gone missing, and were assisted by the U.S. Coast Guard last week for two days.

Among the organizations that assisted in the search were Achiezer, Rockland Chaveirim,  Misaskim of Maryland, Baltimore Shomrim, Hatzolah Air, Lakewood Chaveirim, Misaskim of Greater Washington, NY Hatzolah, COMSAR and others.

Hundreds of civilian assisted from Norfolk, Savana Georgia and other communities.

Rabbi Bauman, 35-years-old, was at the beach at False Cape State Park last Tuesday with around 20 campers from a local day camp when a 13-year-old student was caught in a sudden rip current. 

Rabbi Bauman immediately entered the water to save the boy who was able to make it out of the water. Unfortunately, Rabbi Bauman was swept out to sea and has not been seen since.

Rabbi Reuven Bauman is a Rebbi at Yeshiva Toras Chaim in Norfolk Virginia.

He leaves behind a wife and 5 children.
