Monsey Boy Moshe Just Killed In Hit-And-Run In Arizona

Moshe Just (Yust)  from Monsey was killed in a hit and run accident in Arizona. He was 18.

Three boys were on a cross country trip, when they stopped on the 89 Freeway near Flagstaff Arizona late Sunday night to make a Kiddush Hashem. The boys noticed a vehicle stuck with a flat tire on the side of the road, and stopped to offer their assistance. Minutes later, a speeding vehicle passed by, and struck Moshe. The vehicle sped away and never stopped. He was R”L Niftar at the scene.

Misaskim of NY received a phone call about the tragedy and immediately reached out to the Chabad Shliach in Flagstaff Arizona, Rabbi Dovie Schapiro, who rushed to the scene. Meanwhile, a crew from Misaskim of Los Angeles boarded a private jet to head to the tragic scene, and were there in just a few hours to start performing their Avodas Hakodesh.

Rabbi Jack Meyer, Founder of Misaskim said that he commends the outstanding dedication of the Arizona Highway Patrol, who kept the road closed for Misaskim, and assisted them with whatever they needed.

Police have since located the vehicle that fled the scene, and Detectives are hopeful they will make an arrest soon.

‘Unorthodox’ Star Amit Rahav Shares Video of Transformation Into Character Yanky Shapiro

Israeli actor Amit Rahav, who stars as Yanky Shapiro in the Netflix mini-series “Unorthodox,” posted on Instagram on Thursday a video that showed him getting clip-on sidelocks, also known as payot, to help him transform into his ultra-Orthodox Satmar character.

The sped-up clip shows the 24-year-old sitting in a chair as his makeup and hair artist Jens Bartram gives him the sidelocks, sported by many ultra-Orthodox Jews, by attaching the ringlets to the sides of his short hair.

Bartram clips the payot to each side of Rahav’s head before blending them in with the rest of the actor’s hair.

Rahav praised the artist’s work in the video’s caption, explaining that Bartram soaked the payot in oil overnight “so I’ll have the shiniest curlers on screen.”

In the Netflix mini-series, Yanky Shapiro is the spouse of the lead character Esty (played by Israeli actress Shira Haas), who feels like she is suffocating in the ultra-Orthodox community she was raised in and ultimately decides to flee to Berlin.

Watch Amit Rahav’s transformation into Yanky Shapiro in the clip below:

Nurse Describes What’s REALLY Going On In Hospitals During COVID-19

The following is a letter to the frum blog Matzav.

Dear Matzav,

I have been meaning to write this for weeks but, in addition to having my 5 kids at home due to coronavirus, I’ve also been working like crazy as an acute care nurse practitioner in an ICU dealing with many covid patients.

I want to just share a bit of what it’s like, because I see so many posts about opening up the country, about closet-minyanim, about people who just want life to return to normal. I want you to know that you should have a healthy fear of this virus, and if you are unlucky enough to face it daily, you would be extremely hesitant to go back to life as normal or to surreptitiously get around the restrictions that are in place to save lives. Your lives, and mine.

'Unorthodox Star' Shira Haas sings Hallelujah in previously unseen audition video

Unorthodox star Shira Haas shared her previously unseen audition video on Instagram on Wednesday as she took on the role of Esty Shapiro for the first time. 

Singing Leonard Cohen song, Hallelujah, it was clear to see why the 24-yeara-old was picked for the role for the Netflix four-parter. 

Unorthodox tells the story of a 19-year-old ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman who flees her arranged marriage and religious community in Williamsburg to start a new life in Berlin. 

'Thank you, everyone, for all the love. Hallelujah.'

And in fact, her onscreen estranged husband Amit Rahav, who plays Yanky Shapiro, wrote in the comments: 'I can listen to this forever.' 

Esty famously sings Mi Bon Siach in a particularly poignant scene in the series.

Shira previously recalled her shock and nerves at having to shave her head for the drama series.

Why De Blasio is unafraid of New York’s Jews

Well of course Mayor Bill de Blasio felt safe blaspheming the entire Jewish population of New York City for a lockdown breach committed by a few.

These were Williamsburg faithful who crowded around a cemetery for their rabbi’s funeral – and to do so was a mistake.

But it could have been corrected by a whisper. Instead, read this, the Mayor went to twitter to vent his anger at the mourners, to the point of threatening their arrest, and by extension roping together all Jews as pandemic scofflaws. As you’d expect, of the 1.1 million Jewish New Yorkers, this outraged the 99 percent who abide the rules.

What did they do? 

Says here, they expressed their “anger and disappointment” against the Mayor by – sending him a letter. 

Yes, yes, more than 100 Jewish leaders sent him a letter to “discuss constructive approaches to the pandemic.” Etc. Then they DEMANDED a meeting,

Will the Mayor accede to their demands? Why should he?

Biden Claims ‘600,000 Dead’ from Coronavirus, Accuses Trump of Not Having ‘Intercourse’ with World

Joe Biden’s mental blunders during a Friday MSNBC appearance were overshadowed by his denial of Tara Reade’s sexual assault claims, but they continue to underscore his apparent cognitive decline.

Biden twice told Morning Joe that 600,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.

“Over 600,000 dead, many of them who are those workers, those nurses, doctors, some of them,” he said.

A hot mic picked up a gasp from one of the hosts, but he continued, “Because they have put themselves in the position to save other people’s lives, protect the rest of society.”

“And we talk about that number like 600-plus thousand people,” he said, before host Joe Scarborough interjected, “Sixty.”

“Sixty thousand,” Scarborough said.

“Six— sixty thousand,” Biden responded. “I misp— 60,000.”

According to reported statistics, the actual number as of Friday is 65,068 deaths.

For a second time, he awkwardly used the word “intercourse,” when he seemingly wanted to say “discourse” or “interaction.”

Belz Yerushalayim Finds Cure for Covid-19

Those of us who are blessed to live in Israel, know that unfortunately, the virus hit the Chareidie world like no other community, and that's because the nature of these communities is to constantly be together, be it three times a day in huge shuls, be it at a wedding or any other simcha that is B"H on a daily basis..

Kiryat Belz in Yerushalayim was especially hit hard, since the Rebbe continued with his tishim and continued with his minyanim...

So how do you get around this and keep the sheep grazing so that they are kept in the dark?

You simple remove the bad news from the newspapers!

The two hebrew newspapers that target the  Chassidishe world, Hamodia and  Hamevaser simply removed the fact that the Belz Community in Yerushalyim are dropping like flies ...

If it's not in the newspaper, then it didn't happen ...

I wonder why the secular news media hasn't come up with this cure?

Notice the newspaper that targets the Litvisher oilom, the Yated has the bad news in its by-line ...
