"Little Belzer Shmoiger" Naftuli Moster's Public Schools Will Now Focus Mainly On Thrashing "Whites" ... No Longer Interested In Teaching Math, English & Science


Hey Belzer Shmoiger!
So you want the Yeshivois to teach that "Shvartzers" are superior?
Are you concerned that the goyim won't get an education now ...?
Or
Are you just interested in harassing "heimishe" moisdois???
Start with the public schools first! 

City kids are struggling with basic math and English— but a new Department of Education curricular initiative focuses instead on racial privilege and activism, The Post has learned.
Pushed by Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, the “Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education” program will require schools to “identify and interrupt policies and practices that center historically advantaged social/cultural groups and lead to predictable outcomes of success or failure for historically marginalized students.”
“The simplistic narrative that is being peddled is white privilege,” said Maud Maron, president of Community Education Council 2.
“What’s confounding about this proposal is that it doesn’t acknowledge the successes of students doing well in New York City public schools and instead identifies it as problematic white privilege,” she added,

Jewish New York City Opthamologist Killed in Crash; Had Office on Ave J Flatbush

Dr. Mark Lebowitz was killed in an auto accident on Monday morning.
Dr. Lebowitz had a large practice in Brooklyn as well as being in charge of the Brooklyn Eye Surgery Center on Avenue J in Flatbush, with 35 ophthalmologists. He was responsible for running it.
Dr. Avishai Neuman, an anesthesiologist, who knew him well, Said: “He was a highly decorated ophthalmologist in terms of his skills.  Mark was a true pokayach ivrim – he restored people’s vision – after cataract surgeries, and other issues – he is there to make sure that they see.”
Dr. Neuman continues, “He was ranked at the top of his field. He was a very down-to-earth and approachable person. He was a true humble giant – a real mensch.”

Chani Neuberger, Bais Yaakov Graduate Appointed As NSA Cybersecurity Directorate


The National Security Agency announced Tuesday it is creating a new Cybersecurity Directorate, which will “unify NSA’s foreign intelligence and cyberdefense missions and is charged with preventing and eradicating threats to National Security Systems and the Defense Industrial Base.”
The new directorate — which will become operational on October 1 — is to be headed up by Anne Neuberger, who has been leading the NSA’s Russia Small Group.
In her new position, Mrs. Neuberger, who worked in the private sector before joining the Defense Department and is from Brooklyn, N.Y., will be one of the highest-ranking women at the NSA since Ann Caracristi was named deputy director in 1980.
She has been with NSA for close to 10 years. Neuberger has helped establish U.S. Cyber Command, served as chief risk officer, and is currently an assistant deputy director at NSA. Prior to her time at NSA, Neuberger was the deputy chief management office at the U.S. Navy.

Chareidie 6 Month-old Dies in Hot Car After Family Forgot About Him


Last month I posted a photo of a Chareidie Lakewood Mother who got arrested for leaving her child in a hot car that died ...
I got a lot of flack for posting her picture ....

I since learned that the Chareidie world because it doesn't allow the internet... doesn't get the news ...

The story in Lakewood was not reported in any of the popular Chareidie newspapers ...
because of "Lashan Hara" ...
Well .. how many children must die before they get it?
The picture of that mother as tragic as it was, (and I feel so so bad for her, since she will be living with this the rest of her life,) should have been posted in every school, shul and supermarket ...

Here in Israel, we will never get that photo, since the Laws in Israel are different ...
and so we start the 3 weeks with another needless tragedy ...
one that could have been prevented...


A six-month-old baby boy died Monday afternoon, after he was forgotten in a car in the city of Modiin Illit in central Israel.
 He was left forgotten for three hours locked in a hot car

When the "Cheshik Shlomo" The Popular Commentator on Shas, Presented a Sefer Torah to Theodore Herzl


The following story in honor of the 115th Yurzeit of the founder of the State of Israel, Theodore Herzl, which will be on this Tuesday the 20th of Tammuz ..

Anyone opening any Gemarrah printed in the last 15 years, including those learning in Yeshivois and Kollilim, will find the commentaries of Rav Shlomo Ha'Kohein  who served as Rav of Vilna, one hundred years ago, on every daf.
 Rav Shlomo HaKohein is better known by his famous commentary חשק שלמה ..... The Cheishik Shlomo!

To give you an idea how great the חשק שלמה was... The Chofetz Chayim had his haskama on the Mishna Berurah!
He authored over 37 Sefarim and answered over 1,500 Shaalois in his sefer בנין שלמה

What these Kollel guys don't know is that, the Vilna Rav and Posik, opened the welcome mat and was right up front  greeting the founder of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, when Herzl visited the city of Vilna in 1903, on the 23rd day of Av, a year before Herzl died.

The חשק שלמה who was well in his years, got dressed up in his Shabbos finest, and clutching a Sefer Torah walked over to the Zionist Leader and presented Herzl with the Sefer Torah as a gift from the entire Vilna Kehillah! 
The Rav who was a kohein then placed his holy hands on Herzl's head and blessed him with Birchas Kohanim....

How does DIN know this?

We know this story from someone who witnessed the scene and described it.

None other than Rav Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg z"l, the author of the famous Shaalois Utshuvois famously called 
"שרידי אש
who records the scene in vivid detail!


וילנה החרדית והעתיקה נתנה לרגשותיה העמוקים ביטוי מלאו הוד של כבוד . 
מורה ההוראה הזקן ונשוא הפנים בווילנה, הגאון הזקן והישיש ר' שלמה הכהן, מסר להרצל בשם ירושלים דליטא ס''ת קטן
ובהניחו את ידי הכהן החיוורות שלו על ראש הרצל בעל הוד שבמלכות, לחשו שפתי הכהן הזקן 
ספר תורה זה יוליך אותנו לא''י 
פני הרצל חוורו, דמעות זלגו מעיניו 
הרב הזקן עמד בקושי על רגליו, אולם לא רצה לשבת בנוכחותו של הרצל
וזה אמר
יישב נא רבינו תחילה, זקן הוא ממני, וגם חכם
מלים אלה צילצלו באוזני הנוכחים כסמל להשתייכותו לווילנה העתיקה והחרדית, לעם העתיד והחרד 








Day Yoimie Snippets .... Arachin 21,22,23, 24, 25, 26,27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, & 34



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..... 


This week's "Daf Yoimie Snippets Sponsored For the Refuah Shliemah of 
צארטל בת אסתר מלכה 

''דף כ''א ''מטבעות פגומים

''Damaged Coins "


When the Beit Din (court) sells land that was inherited by orphaned minors from their father, the Beit Din publicly announces the availability of the property for thirty consecutive days, in order to receive the best possible price for the property. 

In what situation would the Beit Din intercede and sell the orphaned minors’ property? 

In a case where the father left behind creditors to whom he owed money, for example.
What does the Beit Din announce? 

The baraita states: 
“There is such-and-such a field, of such-and-such size, that is worth such-and-such. Anyone who wishes to purchase this field should come purchase it, as the field is being sold in order to pay off a deceased man’s debt.”

Why is it necessary to announce that the field is being sold in order to pay off creditors? Why would that fact interest potential buyers? Why isn’t it sufficient to merely announce the field is for sale? 

The Talmud explains that this additional declaration is needed as there are some who prefer to do business with a person who is in debt, as that person would likely to be lenient and even accept slightly damaged coins — and individuals who possess damaged coins might be pleased to purchase the property in order to get rid of those coins.
