Rebbelich Going Into Panic As Chassidim Refuse to Kiss Their Hands Because of Corona

Rumors have it that the Rebbelich are perplexed by this new plague, and are trying to figure out ways to continue having the Chassidim kiss their hands....

Chassidim have decided that it's enough that they have to share their Rebbe's soup, luckshin and bubbelich! 

My sources say that kissing the hands of a Rebbe that had his hands kissed by hundreds, and we have no idea where those hands were before, is a breeding ground for hoof and mouth  disease.

In Israel, Chief Rabbi Lau asked that people stop kissing the mezuzah, stating that  R' Shlomo Zalman Auerbach z"l never kissed the mezuza ..he would just raise his hand toward the mezuzzah!

Shaked: Israeli Left Trying to Destroy Israeli Democracy

Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Yamina) on Wednesday attacked the imitative of the Blue and White and Joint Arab List parties to advance legislation that would prohibit the president from imposing the task of forming a government to people under indictment.

"The left-wing camp that has the rule of law in its throat is trying to change the rules of the game and cancel the results of elections right afterwards through personal and retroactive legislation, is a violation of the foundation of Israeli democracy," Shaked said.

On the results of the election, 

Shaked said, "Of course, we expected more, and the right-wing bloc will achieve 61 seats. We have to wait for the results of the truth and see how a government can be formed. For the Israeli public, every effort must be made to form a government."

"Of course we would be happy if Liberman would come in but even if not alternatives will have to be found," MK Shaked stressed.

Earlier, due to Blue and White's attempt to pass a law that would prevent Netanyahu from forming a government, Knesset legal advisor Ilan Yinun made it clear that private legislation is not possible during this period.

 "As a rule, the Knesset plenum and Knesset committees do not convene in the two weeks between the elections and when the new Knesset convenes."

As Iran Becomes Ground Zero for Coronavirus Pandemic, Israel Becomes Ground Zero for Cure

On Monday, Iran’s Ministry of Health released new data concerning the coronavirus. It said that 66 people have died from the virus while 1501 have been infected. But given the Health Ministry’s propensity for lying, the figure for those dead and infected is likely much greater.

The rampant spread of coronavirus in Iran was a problem largely the result of the Islamic Republic’s own making. In early February, Iranian officials were aware of a potential problem in the city of Qom, where a shrine holy to Shia Muslims served as a breeding ground for the transmission of the virus. Yet authorities took no action to quarantine the city or even warn residents to take safety precautions. The shrine still remains open to visitors and video has recently emerged showing people licking the shrine.

By the time health officials began taking action, it was a case of too little too late. Iran’s Deputy Health Minister, Iraj Harirchi, downplayed claims made a city lawmaker that deaths from COVID-19 had reached 50 and said that he would resign from his post if that assertion was accurate. A day later, Harirchi became a victim of COVID-19 and was under quarantine but not before he was observed coughing on those adjacent to him during the previous day’s press briefing. Several other Iranian diplomats and parliamentarians have since been infected, and at least two have died including a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Eretz Yisroel ..... Explaining the Different Views ..... by DIN

I am approaching my second year living in the promised land, and I am thankful to the Creator that He gave me this opportunity! 

הודו לה' כי טוב כי  לעולם חסדו

For years I said three times a day

המחזיר שכינתו לציון

"Blessed are You, Hashem, Who restores His presence to Zion"

Did I know what I was talking about ?

The Midrash says that when the Jews were exiled to Bavel, the Shecheene was exiled with them.....

When the Jews were exiled to Edom the Shecheene was exiled with them...

Because according to the Midrash the  Schcheene goes where the Jewish people go.

 Now that I live in Israel and am witnessing the return of the Jewish people to their inheritance I now understand the true meaning of 

המחזיר שכינתו לציון

Blessed are You Hashem.... who restores the Shecheene (where it belongs) in Zion!

The Schecheene doesn't come to a deserted land ... the Shecheene returns when the Jewish people return...

I  always asked Hashem 

ותחזינה עינינו בשובך לציון ברחמים

"May our eyes behold Your return to Zion"

and now I am witnessing it!

 I have been approached by many people who still live in Chutz Le'aaretz and who visit Eretz Yisroel from time to time and who ask me 

"What was your motivation for making Aliyah?'"

Some of those asking, were huge Talmeidei Chachamim (Torah Scholars),  who were seriously asking me to prove to them that 

"Yishuv Eretz Yisroel" (settling in Israel) is a Mitzvah......
they explained that they were really seeking the truth..

 If it is a Mitzvah .... they questioned..

is it a "Mitzvah Medeoriisah" (Biblical)

or is it a "Mitzvah MeDrabbanan (rabbinical)?"

And if it is either one.... is it applicable now...?
or is it applicable only when there is a Bais Hamikdash?

Is it even a Mitzvah at all.... maybe it's just a "nice thing."

So I decided, that I will for the next couple of weeks אי''ה, discuss the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael in depth and bring down all the different "shitos" that either hold that it is a Mitzvah De'Oriisah, or hold that it is a "Mitzvah De'rabbanan." 

And, again, if it is either one ...is it applicable in the here and now!

I will do this in a respectful manner and will argue and debate this solely on its merits...

I will bring the view of the Rishonim such as the  Rambam, the Ramban, the Megilas Esther (commentary on the Rambam), Meeri, Ritvah, Rosh, Baal Haturim, Ran, and Terumas Hadeshen and others...with its sources...

I will bring the views of the Achronim such as Shiltei H'giborim, Radvaz, Mabit, Alshich, Mahrshal, Hachareidim, Maharal, Ramah, Drisha, Maharsha, Shlah, Yaavitz, Gra, Chidah, Haflah, Chayeh Adam, Yismach Moshe, Chasam Sofer, Aruch Lener, Yetev Lev, Netziv, Bais Haleivi, Reb Zadok HaChen, Aruch Hashilchan, Sdei Chemed, Ben Ish Chai, Chafetz Chayim, Ohr Samach, R Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld, Rav Kook, Chazon Ish, Avnei Nezer and others .. with its sources ..

I will bring the views of the contemporary rabbanim and poiskim such as the Satmar Rav, and Reb Moshe Feinstein, Rav Henkin. etc..
and I will also discuss the view of the Minchas Eluzer whose views are even more radical than the views of the Satmar Rebbe.

I will discuss the Shalosh Shevuoit... "The Three Oaths!"
and of course I will discuss how Zionism plays into all of this...

Once it is posted ... I will place it on the side of the blog so that everyone can reference it when needed..

Judge Orders Hillary Clinton to testify about her secret email server

Good luck deposing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She’s as slippery as an eel and twice as devious. She’ll figure out a way to circumvent the truth. It’s her greatest skill set.

Clinton and her lawyers have spent months inventing one excuse after another for why she shouldn’t have to answer questions in a deposition about her unauthorized and unsecured computer system. She used a clandestine server to handle all of her electronic communications as secretary of state, including the transfer and dissemination of thousands of classified and top-secret documents.

There is no doubt that Clinton’s unprotected email apparatus jeopardized America’s national security. The State Department eventually divulged that there had been, at minimum, thirty separate security breaches. Chinese intelligence reportedly gained access to her server housing classified documents. Did the Russians penetrate the same system? You can bet on it.

Thus, Clinton almost certainly committed a myriad of felonies under the Espionage Act and other criminal statutes. Instead of pastel pantsuits, Clinton should be wearing an orange jumpsuit. But the Obama administration protected her, allowing former FBI Director James Comey to clear her by twisting the facts and contorting the law.

30% of the Votes Counted .... Likud Has Large Lead..... Final Results Tomorrow

The counting of the votes in the 2020 election continues. As of 6:40 a.m. Tuesday morning, approximately 31.2% of the votes were counted.

The Likud party is leading with 29.61% of the votes. Blue and White comes in second with 23.55%, followed by the Joint List with 10.2%.

United Torah Judaism - 9.14%, Shas - 9.05%, Yamina - 6.47%, Labor-Gesher-Meretz - 5.72%, Yisrael Beytenu - 5.38%, and Otzma Yehudit has just 0.53%.

The counting of the votes is being done very slowly after the Central Elections Committee added control measures aimed at ensuring accurate results before they are made public.

As such, the results from the regular polling stations without the so-called “double envelopes” – which contain the votes of diplomats and IDF soldiers – are only expected on Tuesday afternoon or evening.

The full results will be announced at the earliest on Wednesday evening or on Thursday.

Bernie Sanders would be the most ‘godless’ president since Jefferson

by RICH LOWRY

Once upon a time, Bernie Sanders would have had another political vulnerability besides his socialism — namely, his atheism.

In 2016, a Democratic National Committee staffer had to apologize after the WikiLeaks hack exposed an email he wrote that suggested using Bernie’s atheism against him in the primary.

This year, Bernie’s religion — or lack of it — has barely made a ripple or even occasioned any comment. It used to be expected that serious presidential candidates would have religious faith and discuss it, in keeping with the religious coloration of the country they sought to govern. Just as the taboo against openly socialist candidates has given way, so has the old norm about religiosity eroded nearly to the vanishing point.

Sanders, a secular Jew, doesn’t call himself an atheist. The way he puts it is that he isn’t “actively ­involved in organized religion,” and that he believes in God, just not in a traditional matter. “To me,” he has said of his religion, “it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected and that we are all tied together.”

R' Feldman Retracts His Opposition for WZO Elections ... R' Malkiel Kotler Remains Isolated ...

In a major development Monday morning, VIN news has confirmed that in a conversation with well-known news editor Rabbi Yitzchok Hisiger, Rabbi Feldman has retracted his position, and has stated that he is “Mevatel his Da’as to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky on the matter,” effectively declaring that he no longer opposes the position of Rabbi Brudny and Rabbi Kamenetsky.

This stunning development leaves Rabbi Malkiel Kotler the lone voice who still opposes the nearly unanimous view of Gedolei Hador that it is permitted to vote in the WZO elections.
