IDF Tricked Hezbollah Into Thinking They Injured an Israeli Soldier



An IDF helicopter evacuated soldiers from the northern border to Rambam Hospital in Haifa on Sunday afternoon following the firing of anti-aircraft missiles from Lebanon towards Israel by Hezbollah despite the fact that soldiers were uninjured.

The IDF wanted to create a "fog" on the Lebanese side to allow Hezbollah to flaunt its achievement and meanwhile carried out a massive assault on Hezbollah.

In Israel, it was hoped that granting an "achievement" to Hezbollah would allow the incident to end quickly and prevent a deterioration to war.

Videos showing the helicopter with the injured soldiers were distributed on social media, and about an hour after the incident an IDF spokesman officially announced that there were no casualties among IDF soldiers.

"Soldiers who arrived by helicopter were examined in the Rambam emergency room and released without medical treatment," an official hospital statement said.

After the attack and the assassination of terrorists, Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "At this moment I can announce important news - we have no casualties
No one was wounded – not even a scratch."

Earlier on Sunday, the IDF reported: 
"Two hours ago, a number of anti-aircraft missiles were fired from Lebanon toward an IDF base and a military vehicle in the town of Avivim. A number of hits have been confirmed. The IDF responded with artillery fire toward the source of the fire, aircrafts attacked the anti-aircraft squad."

"The IDF continues to maintain a high level of preparedness - defensive and offensive - for a wide range of scenarios. The restrictions on the civilian area have been removed, with the exception of agricultural work close to the perimeter fence."

Frum Singles furious after matchmaking site for Orthodox Jews makes profiles public

Matchmaker, matchmaker — don’t steal my dating profile!
Din: Personally, I think this "Shidduch Line" is a great idea for $100.00 a year you get as many shidduch resumes you want ...
I don't agree to what he did, which was to steal resumes and publish it without permission to the party ... but it's a great idea ..
since the traditional ways are obviously not working ..

A new service to help Orthodox Jews make love connections posted unauthorized profiles of hundreds of singles, exposing their private information to would-be suitors.
The matchmaking group, based in Far Rockaway and called ShidduchLine WhatsApp, even managed to get tax-exempt status from the IRS.
Shidduch is the Yiddish word for a match that leads to marriage.
“They certainly should not be allowed to conduct business under a charity status,” said Reena Bracha Platt, 27, a California transplant living in Israel who said her outdated profile was posted without her consent.
Platt is among those who took to Facebook to complain about the security breach, which was even reported to a religious court.

Satmar Rebbe R' Zalman Leib, Tells his Chassidim "Not to Ask Questions" About His Decision to Teach Secular Studies in His Institutions


As we wrote previously, Satmar Rebbe caved in to Board of Education demands to implement their guidelines to have secular subjects taught in Satmar moisdois ...

The subjects that will be taught will not be only basic Reading, Writing and Math, but tolerance of people that have sexual perversions ...
such as a boy identifying as a girl or vice versa and then entering a a bathroom of the opposite sex.... 

Satmar had no choice in caving in because they accept Federal and State funds and grants that add up to millions of dollars ....

They have no problem yelling and barking at Israeli schools that take funds from the government, screaming that this "shmads" Jewish children ..... (the Israeli government does not intervene in Chareidie curriculum, even though they fund them with millions of shekels.) 
But when it comes to his own institutions he grabs any government funds he can even if it means that his Moisdois Ha"Torah will now have to introduce subjects which is an anathema to Torah and Satmar mesorah,,,,he does not allow for any debate and quickly shut down any oppositions ....

It's interesting that the Rebbe cannot find it in his heart to give the Israeli Moisdois the benefit of the doubt when they take funds from the government, yet he wants us to give him the benefit of the doubt when he takes money from his government.....

Here is what he said last last Tuesday in his Rodney Street Shul:
I will translate loosely:




1) נישט פרעגן קיין קשיות.
1) No questioning our decision



2) נישט אלעס וואס מ׳טוט קען מען פארציילן פאר די גאס.
2) Not everything we do should be talked about on the streets 



3) מיר זיצן מיט עסקנים און מיר ווייסן פונקטליך וואס מ׳מעג און וואס מ׳טאר נישט.
3) We are sitting with activists that know what is permitted and what is prohibited.



4) ווער ס׳האט נישט קיין נסיון אין דעם - זאל נישט אריינרעדן.
4) One who hasn't been in out shoes so to speak, should not get involved



5) מ׳טאר נישט זיין פרומער אפילו מ׳מיינט אז מ׳פארשטייט בעסער.
5) One shouldn't be frummer even though you think you know better



6) דער רבי זי״ע איז געווען זייער שארף אויף די וועלכע האבן זיך געלאזט הערן.
6) The Rebbe (meaning R' Yoel) was very "sharp" in his response to those who voiced their opposition to his policies



ליידער איז דא א טשטוש המוחות, ס'קומען אנדערע זיי שרייען מ'איז מוחה, הע מ'שמד'ט אויס כלל ישראל, מ'מאכט פשרותף מ'פארקויפט די תשב"ר.
Unfortunately, their brains are scrambled, screaming that they must "protest" and that "we are making compromises" and that we are "selling our innocent children "



ס'איז זייער גרינג צו שרייען, 'איז זייער גרינג מוחה צו זיין, אבער מ'ארף וויסן וואו מ'רעדט.
it is very easy for them to scream, and it is very east to protest but you still have to have knowledge on what is really going on .



מ'קען נישט אלעס דערציילן ברבים, די גדולי תורה וואס טוען אלעס אדורך זענען נאך אזאנע יראי ה' ווי די מוחים! מ'האט נישט קיין אחריות, מ'פירט נישט קיין מוסדות, מ'האט נישט קיין עול פון אפאר טויזנט קינדער אויף דפלייצעס זיי זאלן גיין אויפן ריכטיגן דרך"

We cannot tell the public all what  is happening...the Gedoilei Yisrael that are working (with the BOE) are just as pious as the protesters!
The protesters have no responsibilities, they don't have to run our institutions, they don't have the responsibility of thousands of children on their shoulders to make sure they go on the straight and narrow path!




Our cousin the Israeli professor who calls to boycott the Jewish state

Why, my children ask, would our Israeli cousin be a traitor to his own country? 
by Robert Harris
In response, I try to explain about his illness, this most dangerous of hatreds, the eternal self-hate that some Jews have been infected with throughout our history.
But still, it is our family’s scandal, our shanda. 

Our cousin, an Israeli professor paid by the taxpayers of Israel, exploits his position as an “expert academician” to tour university campuses throughout the world to accuse Israel of racism and apartheid, and he even publishes articles advocating boycotts of Israel.

DIN NEW FEATURE: ZERA SHIMSHON ....... Parshas Re'eh



The Zera Shimshon, Rav Shimshon Chaim ben Rav Nachmon Michoel Nachmani, was born in 5467 (1706/1707) into an illustrious family with great Rabbinical lineage. He studied the revealed and concealed parts of the Torah by the Torah greats of his day.
He served as Rav of Modena, Pisa, Sayna and Reggio, Italy, and was recognized as a holy and pious individual, as well as a tremendous Torah scholar in all areas of Torah. He passed away on the 6th of Elul 5539 (1779).



His Seforim were named, Toldos Shimshon (The ‘Offspring’ of Shimshon) on Pirkei Avos and Zera Shimshon (The ‘Seed’ of Shimshon) on the Parshi’os of the Torah. 

In his introduction, he explains that since his only son had died during his lifetime, he wrote his Seforim to perpetuate his own memory after his passing.

The following is his passionate request to learn his works.
“I implore of you with ten terms of supplication to choose from my Chiddushim (novella) the piece that finds favor in your eyes, for your learning will sooth my soul etc...
“This righteousness will stand by you forever – to ‘eat’ in this world, and be satiated in the next. In this merit, Hashem will repay you with children, health and sustenance.
“...and now my brothers and friends etc. do a true kindness, and with your eyes you will see children and grandchildren surrounding your table, houses filled with all that is good, wealth and honor will not cease from your children...”




Zera Shimshon - Re'eh
איש כמתנת ידו כברכת ה' וגו' אשר נתן לך )טז' יז')


Everyone according to what he can give, according the blessing that Hashem etc. gives you (16:17)

The Zera Shimshon asks - why does the passuk repeat itself, saying that a person should give according to what he can afford and then reiterating, according the blessing that Hashem gave him, as well?

 Why, at the beginning of the passuk is the commandment stated in a general way (according to what 'he' can give) and at the end of the passuk the commandment is more direct, speaking to 'you' (according the blessing that Hashem etc. gives 'you')?

The Zera Shimshon explains that the passuk is speaking to two different classes of people. 

The first group is the people who were only given by Hashem enough money to make it through life. 

The second group are those that were given wealth, possessions and honor, way beyond what they need to make it through life.

Being that Hashem obligated himself to give people enough to live, as the passuk says (Tehillim 136:25, 145:16), "who gives bread to all flesh", the people who barley make it, are not considered so indebted to Hashem. The other group though, are considered 'borrowers' and they are deeply indebted to Hashem for all the extra he has given them.

The first part of the passuk is directed at the first group of people and it refers to them by the title"ISH"
This title we find used when referring to someone that is an aristocrat (see Rus 1:3). 

Although this group of people are poor, the Torah refers to them by this title since they are not indebted as their wealthy counterparts. They therefore are likened to aristocrats, not indebted. 

Nevertheless, the Torah only asks of them to give - according to what they can give, since they aren't men of means.

The second part of the passuk - according the blessing that Hashem etc. gives you, is addressing the second group of people. These people are indeed recipients of the blessing of Hashem and are greatly indebted to Him.

With this, the Zera Shimshon explains the difference in terminology between the two groups, with second group being spoken to in a more direct manner ('you'). 

When a person borrows from someone, the lender makes sure to write down the name of the borrower and recognizes him by name. This is why the second group is addressed in a direct manner, 'you', since this group is written in the Heavenly ledger as borrowers and their names are recognized as those that are indebted. They therefore, are expected to give according to how much they have been lent by Hashem.

The New Har Hamnuchot Bais Ha'Chayim ..... UNDERGROUND!!!


Under a mountain on the outskirts of Jerusalem, 
workers are completing three years of labor on a 
massive subterranean necropolis comprised of a 
mile (1.5 kilometers) of tunnels with sepulchers for interring the dead.


Up above, the Har Hamenuchot Cemetery dominates the 
hillside overlooking the main highway leading into Jerusalem 
from Tel Aviv. 
But in October, the cemetery’s management plans to open the 
first section of a sprawling catacomb complex which, when completed, will provide 23,000 gravesites for an increasingly crowded country.
“People will die probably forever,” said Arik Glazer, chief 
executive of Rolzur Tunneling, the company building the tunnel tombs, “so you have to get space for that.”
Land is in short supply in Israel, and Jewish and Muslim burial customs require interring the dead in the ground and prohibit cremation. The hilltop cemetery is almost at capacity, with 
nearly a quarter million graves. The first underground section opening in October will have capacity for 8,000. The remaining sections are slated to open in the coming years.
Like other increasingly crowded metropolises, Tel Aviv has embraced vertical cemetery structures to accommodate 
growing demand, but now Israel is looking for solutions below ground.
Even in the blazing summer heat, the labyrinthine vaults 
maintain their steady year-round temperature of 23 degrees 
Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit).
The limestone walls are lined four-high with tombs that 
resemble small Japanese capsule hotels. Giant flame-hued polyhedron light fixtures designed by German artist Yvelle 
Gabriel dangle at intersections between the avenues and streets deep in the mountain.
The entire project cost an estimated $50 million and took just
 over three years to complete. The tunnels take up just 5% of the total subterranean area of the mountain available for future 
tombs, Glazer said.
Part of the inspiration behind this project was the ancient 
Jewish custom of cave burials found at sites around the Holy 
Land, from the UNESCO heritage site of Beit Shearim near 
Haifa, to rocky hillsides around Jerusalem.
“The basic blueprints for this project were the cemetery at Beit Shearim,” said Adi Alphandary, head of Rolzur’s business development. Those catacombs, active between the second and fourth centuries, were recognized by the United Nations as a 
Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist Amit Reem said that families would inter the deceased’s remains in the catacombs,
 then seal the door with a rock for eight months.
“When they opened the door of the cave, inside the cave was 
only the skeleton with no flesh,” Reem said. The bones were 
then collected and often placed in stone boxes, known as 
ossuaries, inside the cave chamber.
While the modern-day burial chambers will simply be sealed 
with a grave marker, Hananya Shahor, executive director of the Jewish burial association in Jerusalem, said that Orthodox 
rabbis they consulted said the sprawling site is “100% 
acceptable according to Jewish tradition.”
“We are almost sure that people will like this way much, much
 more than the old systems of burial,” he said.

IDF releases report documenting Iranian efforts to build up Lebanese terror organization's guided missile arsenal.

Watch this video and shiver.... read the article and cry...
To think that the Coward Ezra Friedlander in an op-ed supported the Iran Deal ...

Remember that R' Aron Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe supported the Iranians and had his naive Satmar cowards send letters to their congressmen to support the Iran Deal!!


The IDF on Thursday revealed details on Hezbollah’s Iranian-backed precision guided missile project, days after drone attacks attributed to Israel targeted a site allegedly used by Hezbollah to manufacture missiles.

According to the IDF report released Thursday afternoon, the precision missile project was first launched six years ago, following Iranian transfers of missiles to Lebanon via Syria.
“Between 2013- 2015, under the auspices of the Syrian civil war, Iran began its efforts to transport ready-to-use precision guided missiles from Iran, via Syria, to the terror organization Hezbollah in Lebanon,” the IDF claims.

Proof of Divine Inspiration of the Scriptures


Research shows that the Bible is literally filled with remarkable linguistic nuances and unexplainable “coincidences.” 

Prof. Haim Shore, from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, has researched into the science behind these peculiar biblical intricacies. Described below are a small handful of his fascinating discoveries that relate to the question of divine inspiration of the Bible.

Let us state from the outset that Professor Shore is a self-described non-observant Jew. In an interview with Dr. Rivkah Lambert, Shore said of himself:
As a scientist, my only motivation was to reveal the truth, based on statistical analysis, based on real quantitative data. I have not tried to prove that the Torah is divine or any other such objective.
Here are a few of the coincidences Shore found in his research.

Letters in the Hebrew alphabet, like Roman numerals, have a numeric value.

How Many Lashes Would Omar Have Gotten If she Still Lived In Somalia?

Omar and her White Boyfriend

A Washington, DC, mom says her political-consultant husband left her for Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to a bombshell divorce filing obtained by The Post.
Dr. Beth Mynett says her cheating spouse, Tim Mynett, told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative — and that he even made a “shocking declaration of love” for the Minnesota congresswoman before he ditched his wife, alleges the filing, submitted in DC Superior Court on Tuesday.
The physician, 55, and her 38-year-old husband — who has worked for left-wing Democrats such as Omar and her Minnesota predecessor, Keith Ellison — have a 13-year-old son together.
