Meir Weiss z"l at the bris of his son who died in crib death

A family from the predominantly haredi city of Bnei Brak in central Israel was hit by a double tragedy this week, when a young father died suddenly just days after the death of his infant son.

Thirty-one-year-old Meir Weiss, a resident of Bnei Brak who had studied in the Mir Yeshiva’s Brachfeld campus in Modi’in Illit, was mourning the death of his half-year-old son on Sunday when he collapsed – and died.

Weiss’ son died last Thursday in his crib, in an apparent case of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The child was rushed to Mayanei Hayeshua hospital in Bnei Brak, but doctors were forced to declare the child dead.

While mourning the child’s death at the Weiss family home in Bnei Brak, Meir Weiss suddenly collapsed, for reasons which remain unclear.

Emergency medical teams from MDA and United Hatzalah were dispatched to the scene and attempted to resuscitate Weiss before evacuating him to Sheba Tel Hashomer in Ramat Gan. Doctors at the hospital were later forced to declare Weiss’ death.

Meet the Dutch girls who seduced Nazis — and lured them to their deaths

When she came across a Nazi killing an infant by repeatedly swinging its tiny body against a brick wall, Truus Oversteegen didn’t flinch.

The freckle-faced teenager, who was just three months shy of her 17th birthday when Germany invaded the Netherlands in May 1940, was a newly minted member of the Dutch resistance. She had been mostly assigned to hide Jewish children, political dissidents and homosexuals in various safe houses throughout Haarlem, her hometown, which was about 12 miles west of Amsterdam.

But what she saw now forced her to act with a sudden, brutal energy.

“He grabbed the baby and hit it against the wall,” Truus recalled years later of the horrifying scene. “The father and sister had to watch. They were obviously hysterical. The child was dead.”

Truus quietly pointed her gun in the direction of the Nazi and shot him dead.

“That wasn’t an assignment,” she said. “But I don’t regret it . . . We were dealing with cancerous tumors in our society that you had to cut out like a surgeon.”

Boris Wins in the UK In Massive Landslide ...Jew Hater Corbyn Will Quit Labour Party

TRIUMPHANT Boris Johnson this morning thanked Brexit Brits for trusting him with their vote in his landslide win - as he vowed to work every day to honour them.

The ecstatic Tory boss stressed that work to finally get Britain out of the EU would start later today, with the Tories on course for a majority of 74 over Labour and to take 46 per cent of the vote.

He said that his "stonking" win has given him a "powerful mandate to get Brexit done" as humiliated Jeremy Corbyn vowed to quit.

The results mean Britain's political chaos could finally be over, leaving Boris with the numbers to finally push his Brexit deal through Parliament in just weeks.

Trump’s Support Among Orthodox Jews Has Risen from 54% to 89%

Nine in ten Orthodox Jews say that they support President Donald Trump, according to a poll released Wednesday by Ami Magazine. Moreover, that support appears to have risen dramatically since Election Day in 2016.

Though the numbers from different polls are not strictly comparable, Jake Turx, the White House correspondent for Ami, notes that they confirm anecdotal evidence that Trump not only won a majority of Orthodox Jews in 2016, but has worked hard to expand his support within the community by fulfilling his campaign promises.

The Jewish community as a whole tends to vote Democratic. According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, more than 75% of Jewish voters supported Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections, up from roughly 70% who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 (versus 25% for Trump).

However, Trump’s support among Orthodox Jews suggests that among those most committed to the Jewish community and Jewish issues, Trump is building support.

Turx writes:

According to a survey conducted by the American Jewish Committee, 54% of Orthodox Jews said that they voted for Trump in 2016. One year into his presidency, 71% of Orthodox Jews supported him, and that was before he commuted the sentence of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Then in 2018, in a Tri-State-area poll commissioned by Ami Magazine, 82% of respondents said that they would vote for Trump in 2020. And as this year’s Ami poll reveals, support for the president has now hit a whopping 89%. What this upward trajectory makes abundantly clear is that more and more Orthodox Jews are fans of the 45th president of the United States.

Turx concludes: “It is support that he has rightfully earned because of three years of hard work and genuine results.”

Trump Helps Jews Under Assult on College Campuses And Gets Called An "Anti-Semite" by Jews

Upon being told that the mayor of Dublin, Bobby Briscoe, was Jewish, Yogi Berra famously said, “Only in America.” 

You know what else could happen only in America? 

A president changes policy for the purpose of helping American Jews who find themselves under assault on college campuses — and gets called an anti-Semite as a result.

This could only happen in America, because President Trump could only have happened in America. And it could only happen in America, because, save for rare and sometimes horrific exceptions, American Jews have so little personal experience with actual anti-Semitism that they imagine their ideological differences with Trump, and their honest distress at his divisive rhetoric, are enough to mark him as an anti-Semite.

The latest example comes with a new executive order from Team Trump that extends to Jews some language from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 denying federal funding to any institution that discriminates on the basis of race, color or national origin.

The original reporting on the executive order suggested it would do this by placing Jews in the “national origin” category — which, it was said, would define Jews as a separate “nation.”

This inaccurate account of the executive order caused what can only be called a freakout all over social media. Liberal Jews likened the idea to Nazi ideology, said Trump was denying us our Americanness and that this would be the beginning of a separate status for American Jews.

The reaction was psychotic — in two ways.
