Thousand Satmar Chassidim Celebrate the "End of the Virus"

The Satmar Rebbe, R' Aron Teitelbaum, had announced that right after the virus dissipates he will make a grand seudas hoda'ah. 

He wasn't kidding and kept his word.... 

A thousand Satmar Chassidim attended a royal banquet in honor of the "end of the virus." Not one of the guests wore a mask, and there was absolutely no social distancing.... 

The Seuda "officially" celebrated a Siyum Mishnayois, which ordinary kids do all the time at their Bar-Mitzvas.....and no one invited knew about that, they thought they were coming to the Seudas Hoda'ah.... 

I guess someone figured out that people were still getting very sick, and there isn't a day that someone doesn't die from the virus... people would realize how stupid and silly that would look like, so he quickly ordered banners that read "Siyum Mishnayois..

Yurzeit of the Ohr Ha'Chayim Hakodosh

I personally feel very connected to The Ohr Hachayim Hakodosh; I had the privilege to give a well attended Ohr Hachatim Hakodosh Shiur in Monsey for over 12 years .....

Rav Chayim ben Moshe Ibn Attar (1696-1743) was called "The Ohr Hachayim" after his sefer on chumash, ...he was one of the most prominent Kabbalists.

He was born in Morocco, and in 1733 settled in Ottoman Syria.

Rav Chayim married his cousin Fatzonia, but was not blessed with children, so Fatzonia encouraged him to marry a second wife, Esther.

In 1742 he tried to settle  in Yerushalyim .. but was forced to live in Akko instead,  due to an epidemic in Yerushalyim.

On the 15th of Ellul 1742, Rav Chayim finally entered Yerushalyim but sadly was niftar less than a year later.

Rav Chayim departed the world at Mincha time, Parshas Pinchos 15th of Tammuz and was only 47 years old.

It is related that during Shalosh Seudas, the Baal Shem Tov who lived in Europe, thousands of miles from Yerushalyim, sensed that the Ohr Hachyim had died, and exclaimed

 " The light from the West has been extinguished."

During the period of Jordanian control of Har Hazeisim between 1948 and 1967, there was mass desecration of the Jewish graves. The Arabs even decided to build a road through this ancient cemetery which would pass directly over the grave of the Ohr Hachayim.

When the bulldozer came within inches of the grave, however, something strange happened. The engine sputtered and died. Another attempt the following day failed in a more spectacular way. As the bulldozer rushed towards the grave at full speed, it suddenly flipped over and plunged into the adjoining Valley of Kidron, killing its driver.

The Arabs thereupon abandoned their plans for desecrating this holy grave and rerouted their road to pass much higher on the mountainside. Visitors to the grave can clearly see how the original clearing went straight in the direction of the Ohr Hachayims grave.

Both of his wives passed away within a few years after R' Chaim's death, and were buried next to him.

His famous disciple was the Chidda. 

Ke'dai to light a candle for his neshama...

Yehi Zichro Baruch!

When the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe Met Harav Avraham Yitzchok Kook

There is a Hebrew weekly Chabad newsletter called "kareiv eilecha" that is distributed in Israel, and in honor of the Rebbe's release of the Soviet Gulag on Yud Bais Tammuz, they dedicated the issue to his visit of Eretz Yisrael in 1929.

It is interesting to note that the rebbe visited Chevron just days before the pogrom of 1929 in which Arabs massacred sixty-nine innocent Jews, on August 24, 1929.

Harav Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson (1880-1950) was the sixth Rebbe of Chabad, known as the "Frierdiker Rebbe" or the Rebbe Rayatz,

He was the father-in-law of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe, R' Menachem Mendel z"l.

It was Harav Kook z"l that leaked the news that the Russian Secret Police arrested the Rebbe on June 27, 1927, in a telegram to The Joint ..on June 28.

 “Grave news received, Rabbi Schneierson of Lubovitch (sic) arrested [in] Leningrad [by] Bolsheviks. Try utmost for deliveration (sic). Wire results.” 

It was only two years later, that the Rebbe would visit the holy city of Jerusalem, occasioning a particularly emotional meeting with Rav Kook z"l to thank him for his efforts.

The photo below depicts the posters that Rav Kook posted in Yerushalyim upon the Rebbe's release

The Rebbe arrived in Yerushalyim after taking a train from Alexandria Egypt, in 1929. 

And on Wednesday the 2nd day of Av 1929, in the afternoon he visited the Kotel.

On his way back from the Kotel he went to visit Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld z"l.

The next morning, the Rebbe went with a large entourage to visit Harav Avraham Yitzckok Hacohen Kook. 

According to the newsletter, after discussing some divrei Torah, the Rebbe hinted to all in attendance to leave him with Rav Kook alone so they could discuss the terrible circumstances that the Jews in Russia were in (don't forget this was a bad time for Jews in Russia which was then Communist).

Rav Kook wore a special kippa in honor of the rebbes visit, it was a kippa made from material of the "Zemach Tzeddik's (the third rebbe of Chabad.) coat. Rav Kook received it as a gift when he was just a teenager, and would wear it exclusively on the High Holy Days.

The Rebbe and Rav Kook met two more times during this visit. Harav Aryeh Levin z"l attended one of those meetings.

On Friday on the 23rd of August 1929, the Rebbe left Eretz Yisrael on a train to Alexandra Egypt the first leg of his journey to the USA, and just hours later Arabs murdered 69 of his fellow Jews in Chevron.... some of those murdered had met with the rebbe just  a few hours earlier. 

The Rebbe and Harav Kook subsequently corresponded frequently. In fact, the Rebbe wrote Rav Kook a letter when the Rebbe arrived a month later in the  US  where he expressed his sentiments vis a vis the Chevron massacre, and blessed Harav Kook with a Happy New Year.

UN expert deems US drone strike on Iran's Soleimani the murderer of thousands an 'unlawful' killing

.   

In a world gone insane, this yente is called an "expert." The US killed, Qassem Soleimani, the murderer of US troops and the murderer of thousands of women and children with a drone, yet Agnes Callamard from the UN, finds the execution of this animal "unlawful".

One of her complaints is that he was killed by a drone.... ok.. I get it, next time the US should execute an Iranian murderer when he is sitting with his family in a restaurant..... !

What makes her an "expert?" 

I see that she conducted human rights investigations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and has yet to come to any conclusions from her findings.... but to stop a guy who is a threat to the world by killing him, that's "unlawful." 

The January US drone strike in Iraq that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and nine other people represented a violation of international law, a UN human rights investigator said on Monday.

Barditchiver Rebbe Pulls Out his Iphone to Photograph Cops That Ask Him to Put on a Mask

R' Aron Baumel aka The holy Barditchiver Rebbe went into a supermarket with his mask on his chin..a new "minhag" in Chareidie circles.
When the cops approached him and asked him nicely to put it on his entire face, the holy rebbe pulled out his "smartphone" yes, you read it here first... his "smartphone" tore off his mask and started filming them...
Thank G-d the Police weren't Barditchevir Chassidim and weren't impressed with his "minhagim" and arrested him ...and taking a "minhag" of the two Boro-Park Sisters .. the "Holy See" started screaming "Nazi" at the cops....

Hubble just snapped one of its greatest images ever

"gevuros  ha"borah" .... if you ever have a discussion with a heretic, "Show me proof that G-d exists" inevitably comes up. The truth is that just observing human body parts and how it functions is enough for some people who really want to know, to be convinced that there is a Creator,

For others looking up at the vast and endless sky makes one realize the greatness of Creation...

I think that Covid-19 was a wakeup call to ponder and contemplate how things can be gone in seconds, whether it be health, finance, prayer, schools, camps,transportation, or family...

instead it brought out the worst in us...

BLM and their hatred, the needless destruction by the low-lifes and dregs of our society came along and distracted all of us from thinking lofty thoughts.

So its nice that a photo of Hashem's Creation comes along in the midst of chaos to offer us a glimpse of the beauty of the world....

Galaxies always seem special simply due to their huge size and collections of stars, planets, and typically a black hole or sometimes more. They’re definitely interesting, but some are clearly better looking than others. The Hubble Space Telescope has snapped stunning images of plenty of galaxies during its lengthy tenure, but the above image which NASA has chosen to showcase is a real work of art.

The galaxy you see here is named NGC 2775, which isn’t a very catchy name but the galaxy’s abundance of young stars and its delicate, “feathered” pattern are truly something to behold.

Another Typical Day In New York As Man is Shot Dead Walking With His Daughter

Harrowing surveillance footage captured the moment a man was fatally shot while crossing the street — hand-in-hand with his 4-year-old daughter.

The clip, tweeted by Rodney Harrison, the NYPD’s chief of detectives, opens with Anthony Robinson approaching the intersection of Sheridan Avenue and East 170th Street in Mount Eden around 5:50 p.m. Sunday.

Clasping his young daughter’s left hand in his right, Robinson, 29, stops at a crosswalk to eye a dark sedan slowing next to them, appearing to check whether the driver was turning into their path.

But the driver continues to roll along next to father and daughter as they cross Sheridan Avenue, the video shows.

Nearly out of the crosswalk, Robinson turns as though to say something to his daughter — leaving his back to the sedan.

The shooter then sticks a handgun out of the passenger’s window and opens fire, striking Robinson in the chest.

As Robinson crumples to the pavement, his terrified daughter takes off running down Sheridan Avenue, apparently unharmed, the footage shows.

Robinson, a resident of East New York, Brooklyn, was pronounced dead at BronxCare Health System.

His murder was one of eight across the city on a bloody Fourth of July weekend, his shooting one of at least 49.

Authorities have yet to make an arrest in the case, and ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Riots In Meah Shearim After Police Arrest Lady For Not Wearing Her Mask

After a long hot boring Shabbos, and stomachs full of Cholent, Ptcha, Greevin & Shmaltz Herring.... Meah Shearim residents decided to take a cue from the USA shvartzas and rioted like a bunch of animals because a lady and her daughter were seen walking without masks and refused to identify themselves to cops as per Israeli law...and got themselves arrested..

Riots broke out in Meah Shearim Saturday night after a woman was detained by police for refusing to identify herself after police found her without a mask. Rioters threw bottles and stones at police and burned garbage bins as well as blocking traffic. One policeman was lightly injured in the head and two rioters were arrested.

The policemen saw a woman and her daughter without masks on Shivtei Yisrael near Meah Shearim and asked them to identify themselves. When they refused to identify themselves, they were arrested, sparking riots by extremists in an attempt to prevent police from completing the arrest. Later rioters blocked the nearby road 1 for an hour and burnt garbage cans.
