Eida Ha'Chareidis Prohibits Makeup for Women .... Makeup caused the "Destruction of the Bais Hamikdash!"

Is it any wonder that people think that the Eida Ha'Chareidis is made up of a bunch of old cranky guys ....

Is it any wonder that people have now stopped eating from the Eida hashgachas... 

In a world gone mad, Harav Moshe Shternbuch and Rabbi Yaakov Tuvia Weiss, both anti-Israel rabbis, put their signatures on this proclamation...

Minyan On Netanyahu’s Flight To The US For Trump Meeting

As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu flew to the United States on Sunday for the unveiling of Trump’s “Deal of the Century,” frum political figures and journalists formed a minyan to daven Maariv, making sure to include a tefillah for Middle Eastern peace.
The minyan included US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, head of the National Security Council Meir Ben-Shabbat, military secretary Avi Blot, journalists and other frum people on the flight.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on Monday denounced the long-anticipated Trump administration peace proposal ahead of its unveiling this week, saying it “doesn’t constitute a basis for resolving the conflict.”
Shtayyeh said the plan violates international law and “comes from a party that has lost its credibility to be an honest broker in a serious and genuine political process.”
The Palestinians have not yet seen the plan but have already rejected it, saying the Trump administration is biased in support of the Israelis.

Do Yeshivos Have A Substance Abuse Problem?

A while ago, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski – a renowned psychiatrist whose areas of specialty include alcohol and substance abuse – told me that when he was growing up, country clubs would not host a Jewish wedding or a bar mitzvah because they couldn’t make money on the alcohol, which was a primary source of their profit. I was even more shocked by what he told me next: Today these clubs compete for Jewish business because Jews have become drinkers.
Let me share with you some alarming information about the use of alcohol and other substances among high school students in the United States. I can “hear” you thinking, “How is this information relevant to my life?” Here’s the answer: Whatever substances regular American students use, our yeshiva high school students use as well. This assertion may astonish or frighten you, but it’s true. The only thing that is unknown is the scope of the problem.

Auschwitz depicted in color for first time in new chilling documentary




It's a story about the rise of fascism through the eyes of children,' creator David Shulman tells i24NEWS

A new documentary, “Auschwitz Untold: In Color,” takes viewers for a chilling new look at the largest Nazi extermination camp, where over a million Jews would eventually meet their deaths.
Before the film makes its world-wide debut this week, beginning Sunday on the British More4 television channel, i24NEWS caught the director, David Shulman, for an interview.
On the decision to colorize the footage, Shulman admits he was initially concerned. “I think it’s a subject that few, if any, dared to approach with the idea of colorization,” he said.

Netanyahu to Annex Maale Adumin and forgo Jordan Valley annexation

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is not planning to push for the annexation of the Jordan Valley in the near future, Galey Tzahal reported Monday, despite American support for such a move, and is instead planning on a smaller annexation.

According to the Galey Tzahal report, Prime Minister Netanyahu is planning to annex the city of Maale Adumim, the third largest Israeli town in Judea and Samaria, located just to the east of Jerusalem.

This annexation would come in place of plans to annex the Jordan Valley; a move which Netanyahu is reportedly holding off on for the time being due to staunch opposition to the move by the Jordanian government, and fears the annexation of the Jordan Valley could embolden radical forces within Jordan who could threaten the Jordanian government.

Basketball Legend Kobe Bryant Killed In Helicopter Crash

Kobe Bryant, the 18-time NBA All-Star who won five championships and became one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career spent entirely with the Los Angeles Lakers, died in a helicopter crash Sunday. He was 41.
Bryant died in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California, a source told The Associated Press. His daughter also died!
Bryant retired in 2016 as the third-leading scorer in NBA history, finishing two decades with the Lakers as a prolific scorer with a sublime all-around game and a relentless competitive ethic. He held that spot in the league scoring ranks until Saturday night, when the Lakers’ LeBron James passed him for third place during a game in Philadelphia, Bryant’s hometown.

Emoji License Plates? Move to Vermont

Hey, Vermonters: Get ready to plaster a smiley face on your license plate.
State Rep. Rebecca White wants to let drivers express their emotions, and has introduced a bill to allow emojis on vanity license plates, according to the local NBC station.
The bill states that symbols could be added “in addition to the plate’s registration number and would not replace any letters or numbers assigned by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles nor those selected by the vehicle’s owner.”
The bill does not state which emojis of the over 3,000 available will be offered. Presumably, not the poop emoji.
“I guess it’s an OK idea. I wouldn’t say it’s good. I wouldn’t say it’s bad. It’s not hurting anybody,” Pam Buck, of Weathersfield, told NBC.

Will the rest of the Jews eventually leave the Exile willingly?

The often heard question of "what will it take for Jews to leave the Diaspora?" has been debated and discussed for decades.

Now it appears the question is being answered as the Jew hating violence continues to escalate.

Dr. Sam Minskoff, a member of the Aliyah Team at Arutz Sheva, discusses the factors that can induce Jews to leave the Diaspora, or as someone who writes in put so brilliantly; the "exilic graveyard".

Dr. Minskoff talks about the exile from within and the Jerusalem air being the best treatment of that age old malady.
