Most NY yeshivas flunk city’s secular studies review
Most religious Jewish schools investigated by New York City officials since 2017 fail to teach required secular education, according to the city’s Department of Education.
Among the 28 Brooklyn-based yeshivas, or religious schools, reviewed by the department, only 11 are providing the required instruction or are well on their way, according to a department letter released Thursday and reported on by the Forward.
Twelve schools are working on improving their secular education, while five are considered “underdeveloped,” meaning they do not provide sufficient secular subject instruction and have not demonstrated they are planning to improve, according to the letter sent to the state Education Department.
Only two of the yeshivas visited were considered entirely substantially equivalent by the city department, the Forward report said.
Satmar Totally Blindsided by Official Findings That They are Few Chareidim in the IDF!!!
Recently the Israeli press reported that the Army was falsifying numbers of actual Chareidie recruits, and that the number of recruits from Chareidim was significantly lower than reported.
This was a major scandal here in Israel, because Chilonim were very upset that they were lied to by Army officials ... and they cried, rightfully so, that they are the ones carrying the burden while their Chareidie counterparts are hanging around in the hallways in the Yeshivois smoking and waiting for the Shadchanim to call..
What wasn't reported is that the Satmar Rebbe, R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum was totally taken aback by this news since it took his main argument away about the "atrocities" perpetrated by the Zionist government against Chareidim.
Turns out that his barking at the Zionists on his recent visit, that the Zionists are forcing Yeshivah boys to be conscripted in the army is a bunch of hogwash,, and is just a ploy by the Satmar Rebbe to keep his chassidim in his camp since it's only hate that he can offer them ... to keep them busy ....since everything else is prohibited ...
Chassidim are prohibited from being on the Internet, they are prohibited from engaging in sports, they are prohibited from riding a bicycle, playing board games or even swimming .....
They are going insane from sheer boredom ....
To keep them busy he joined forces with the equally insane Auerbach crazies ... that occupied with organizing protests ... and disrupting the lives of other Chareidim since the protests are in Bnei Brak and the Frum sections of Yerushalayim....
But the press here in Israel is constantly complaining that there are really very few Chareidim in the IDF and that the IDF is covering up the real numbers .....
This news has totally surprised the Satmar Rebbe since this news if it continues will put him out of business........

Home of the Ark of the Covenant is 'discovered' in a 3,000-year-old temple in BET SHEMESH
Religious archaeologists in Israel claim they have discovered the stone on which Ark of Covenant once sat.
The biblical claim was made by researchers from Tel Aviv University who found a 3,100-year-old temple near the modern-day town of Beit Shemesh.mal pen.
Religious teachings claim that the Ark contained the Ten Commandments received by Moses on Mount Sinai.
They also preach that the Ark rested on a square table and this latest find is being hailed as merging biblical teachings with archaeological evidence.
Archaeologists say it is strikingly similar to the mythical 'large stone' described in the First Book of Samuel.
It was used to hold up the Ark after it arrived at Beth Shemesh when it had returned to Israeli hands from the Philistines.
Jewish Congressmen and Senators are at the very heart of this evil, venal, impeachment of President Trump after all he has done for the Jewish people
A great curse has befallen American Jews, one that will haunt us forever:
Some of our American Jewish Congressmen and Jewish Senators are at the very heart of this evil, venal, and unconstitutional House impeachment of President Trump.
While, in the future, I will focus on these miscreants;
today, I want to thank G-d for the infinite blessings and protections President Trump has endowed the American and Israeli Jewish people.
Today, I want to thank President Trump for each action which in itself would have been enough.
In essence, I want to pen the Passover Seder’s “Dayenu,” “It would have been enough for us,” to thank President Trump’s for each of his blessings for the Jewish People.
Wikipedia explains the Passover Seder’s “Dayenu, is “The song is about being grateful to God for all of the gifts he gave the Jewish people, such as taking them out of slavery, giving them the Torah and Shabbat, and had God only given one of the gifts, it would have still been enough. This is to show much greater appreciation for all of them as a whole. The song appears in the haggadah after the telling of the story of the exodus and just before the explanation of Passover, matzah, and the maror.”
Naama Issachar's appeal rejected by Russian court
A Moscow court rejected the appeal of Naama Issachar on Thursday after deliberating for only 25 minutes, according to a Channel 12 News report.
At the appeal, Issachar - speaking from inside a glass enclosure - said that contrary to the court's ruling, she never confessed to smuggling drugs, saying she was unaware she signed a confession since there was no translator present.
Naama also told the judges that she didn't purchase the drugs and it must have been planted in her luggage.
"They didn't explain the significance of the incident," she said. "I was never in Russia. I don't speak the language and I don't recognize the laws of the country. In the country, I come from and the countries I've visited, this is not the usual punishment."
"I noted many times that it was not my drugs. They forced me to sign documents in Russian."
"There's proof that I didn't intend to bring drugs into Russia. I didn't go through the passport inspection at all and I had no access to the drugs. I didn't know that was incriminating myself. All the evidence attests to my innocence."

Israel Tells UN to "Go to Hell" And Advances 22,000 Housing Units In What the Goyim Call the "West Bank"
The U.N. Mideast envoy said Wednesday that Israel advanced or approved plans for over 22,000 housing units in West Bank settlements and east Jerusalem in the three years since the Security Council adopted a resolution condemning settlements in lands the Palestinians want for their future state.
Nickolay Mladenov told the Security Council that in addition, Israel issued tenders for some 8,000 housing units since the December 2016 resolution, which also declared that the settlements have “no legal validity.”
He said the numbers “should be of serious concern to all those who continue to support the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state alongside Israel.”
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a report to the council circulated Wednesday that the settlements have “no legal effect.” He declared that construction and approvals “must cease immediately and completely.”
Lakewood Company Owners Cheated Medicaid Enrollment Assistance
The owners of Advanta Medicaid Specialists are also accused of using company money for their own personal use, as well as for donations to private schools, charities and synagogues, leading to the company’s closure.
According to the complaint, some 49 customers allege they paid out between $3,000 and $9,000 each for Advanta Medicaid’s services, which was meant to be advice on how to apply for Medicaid, how to “spend down” their assets to become eligible for the program, and other services. But the customers claim they never received the services, nor did they receive their promised refund should they not qualify.
“Families and individuals seeking assistance with Medicaid enrollment are among those who can least afford to lose thousands of dollars to fraud,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal.
The state is seeking restitution, attorney fees, investigative fees, unspecified penalties as well as a restriction of the defendants’ business activities in the state.
