DIN's Take .... Parshat Va'Yikrah


In this week's parsha .... Va'Yikrah ....you will notice that the very first word Vayikra,  ויקרא is spelled with a small "alef" "א"

Many explanations have been given for this phenomenon. Most commentators see it as an expression of Moshe's humility. Although he reached the highest levels of sanctity and closeness to Hashem, he chose to downplay his role in the matter.

The Zohar Hakodosh, however, offers a completely different answer, one that puts the entire sefer Vayikra in perspective.

He sees the small alef as a sign of imperfection:

"Why is there a small alef? Because this "calling" was imperfect. 
Why so?
For it took place in the Mishkan and in a foreign land. 
[True] perfection can only be found in the Land of Israel"
(Tosafot HaZohar 1, quoted in Itturei Torah, vol 3 p.7)

Let us contemplate this Zohar for a moment...
There was probably never a period in Jewish history during which the Jewish people enjoyed a more intimate relationship with Hashem than the 40 year journey through the desert.
Heavenly clouds surrounded them on all sides, protecting them from the elements. Their clothes grew with them and never wore out.
Celestial food was delivered to them every day. They were led by the greatest prophet ever to live, and he was readily available to answer questions and give advice on religious matters.

Do you qualify for a stimulus check in Senate’s coronavirus response bill?

One of the cornerstones of the Senate coronavirus stimulus package is the direct payment of money from the federal government to American individuals and families.
In the middle of the bill's hundreds of pages are details regarding exactly who can expect to receive money and how much they can expect. Here is a breakdown.
Who is eligible?
The bill makes clear that everyone is eligible except for nonresident aliens and those who can be used as the basis for deductions for another person.
"Seniors, veterans, the unemployed and low-income Americans would be eligible too," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Wednesday.
The bill text indicates those who receive social security can collect checks: For those not required to file 2018 or 2019 tax returns because of social security benefits, tax returns aren’t required to claim the money -- the government can use information from a Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, or Form RRB-1099, Social Security Equivalent Benefit Statement.
With that in mind, here is how much people can expect to get.

New Yorkers ignore orders to stay indoors and practice social distancing as they wait in packed lines at grocery stores and banks despite the coronavirus outbreak


ok .... now....
The Heimishe Oilim has an excuse .... the goyim are also defiant and not staying home ......
You know what?
Go out ... go have a good time .... go spread death all over the place... go kill all people over 60 ..... go ....
the goyim are also doing it ....
go
Defiant New Yorkers are ignoring orders to stay at home and are going about their daily lives shopping at crowded grocery stores and waiting in long lines at the bank and hospital despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 
Across all five boroughs locals were seen waiting in extensive lines as they ran their errands on Wednesday. 
Many residents were seen armed with protective face masks and rubber gloves to protect themselves from the contagious COVID-19. 
In Manhattan long lines of people crowded around banks, in Brooklyn a Trader Joes grocery store was swamped with shoppers and in Queens the Elmhurst Hospital Center was inundated with people trying to get tested for the virus. 
As of Wednesday there are over 30,000 case of coronavirus in New York and there have been 285 deaths throughout the state. In New York City alone there are over 17,000, according to local government statistics. 
New York is currently under a lockdown where Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered all nonessential workers to stay at home and urged the public to stay in doors to prevent the spread of the infectious coronavirus.

Chief Rabbi Nixes Virtual Seder on Zoom


On Wednesday, the head of the Tzomet Institute, Rabbi Menachem Pearl attacked a halakhic ruling made by a group of rabbis permitting the use of “Zoom” software to allow seniors in home quarantine to participate in a virtual Passover Seder with their extended family.

The Tzomet Institute was founded in 1977 and specializes in customizing technological and electronic appliances to comply with halakhah (Jewish law).

“The letter [stating the ruling] is very dangerous, and what people understand from it is even more dangerous, “ he told Arutz Sheva.

Satmar Throws Dr. Zelenko Under The Bus .....But Rabbi Yehuda Levin Says "Shame on Satmar"

Before you watch Rabbi Yehuda Levin ... read my post!
As you all know that I posted a Video where a Dr Zelenko  who treats patients in Kiryas Yoel, came up with an idea, that the US should start treating Corona patients with the malaria drug protocol as soon as they are diagnosed..and not wait until they are already very sick...
So good so far ...... right?? What could be so bad??
Well not so fast folks..... he forgot that he was talking about Satmar ..... big mistake..
He had  added that because the nature of KJ residents is to be closely confined, davening close together, making huge simchas,  etc etc. he estimated that over 20,000 residents had already contracted the virus ...
Big Mistake!!!!
Never mind that he was absolutely correct ... 
and that most of the heimishe oilim don't care about spreading the virus...and his numbers may even be on the conservative side.
Witness the streets in Willamsburg and Boro Park ...
TODAY!!!..... YES TODAY!!!
And So back to my story ...Satmar hierarchy started running around like poisoned mice, to try to shut this guy up;  terrified that the word is out ....... and to make matters worse, their own Rebbe got sick with the virus, 
so "kdarkom bakoidesh" and following their  heiliger "mesorah" from der alter heim,  took this Tzaddik, Dr Zelenko and threw him under the bus ...
 Saying that his statements are not only false but spreading anti-Semitism .... ...
What Satmar wasn't prepared ... was ..that a fearless rabbi by the name of Rabbi Yehuda Levin would put out a video (above) where he is spot on answering the Satmar Askanim!
Watch Dr. Zelenco's megananomous response below

Are the DemocRATS Trying To ‘Draft the Snake Cuomo’ ?


Democrats are publicly talking about “contingency options” for their July convention in Milwaukee in case the coronavirus persists in being a public-health threat. 
But privately, some are also talking about needing a Plan B if Joe Biden, their nominee apparent, continues to flounder.
Some Democrats are openly talking up New York governor Andrew Cuomo, whose profile has soared during the crisis, as a Biden stand-in. Yesterday, a Draft Cuomo 2020 account on Twitter announced that “Times have changed & we need Gov. Cuomo to be the nominee. Our next POTUS must be one w/an ability to lead thru this crisis.
Charles Pierce, the politics blogger for Esquire magazine, wrote a piece headlined “With Two Words, Andrew Cuomo Established Himself as the Leader This Country Needs Now.” He enthused that Cuomo’s news conference last Friday “essentially (shutting) down the economy of his state . . . was a master class in leveling with the public.”Democrats are increasingly worried that Joe Biden will have trouble being relevant and compelling in the long four months between now and when he is nominated in July. Lloyd Constantine, who was a senior policy adviser to New York governor Eliot Spitzer from 2007 to 2008, puts it bluntly: “Biden is a melting ice cube. Those of us who have closely watched as time ravaged the once sharp or even brilliant minds of loved ones and colleagues, recognize what is happening to the good soldier Joe.”COVID-19 and . . . 2024?

Nearly half of New York City's coronavirus cases found in adults under 45


A plurality of COVID-19 cases in New York City are among those aged 18 to 44, but severity rates tend to follow global trends when it comes to age and underlying conditions, data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reveals.
Of the 15,597 confirmed as of Tuesday afternoon, 7,094, or 46 percent, were in patients below the 45. In that age group, 9 percent of people with the novel coronavirus have been hospitalized, and there have been five deaths.
All told, the data suggests the city is in line with other countries like Italy, which has reported that the majority of patients experiencing severe cases of COVID-19 are in older age groups, though that certainly doesn't mean younger people aren't at risk. In New York, more than one-fifth of fatalities have occurred in the 45 to 64 range.
