Health Dept Almost Infects Camp Agudah Midwest with Covid-19

This just happened now in Camp Agudah Midwest. 

An inspector from the Health Department came to conduct an inspection on health and COVID19 protocols in camp and whether they’re being kept (which they are). 

But per protocol, she was tested before entering camp grounds (we have these instant tests where you get results in 5 minutes). 

And guess what? 

The COVID inspector was denied entry because she tested positive for corona virus!!!

Had we not tested the COVID inspector, she could have potentially infected the entire camp with corona virus!

Anti-Semites At Publix in North Miami Beach


Anti-Semitic Incident At Publix on 8th Avenue in NMB

Yesterday at about 12:15 pm, a member of the Jewish community was in the checkout line of the Publix on 8th Avenue. Behind him was a 30 to 40 year old black male who began harassing him since he saw his head covering and began ranting about Jews and threatened to beat him up.

The security guard came near but neither the guard nor any cashier uttered a word. As the Jewish customer left the store, neither Publix security or personnel walked him to his car even though he was visibly shaken and concerned for his safety. He was subjected to further anti-Semitic rants and threats of physical harm as he walked to his car. As he drove home, he saw the individual was following behind him. He drove around the neighborhood until he was no longer being followed.

Publix staff and security, by its defining actions, made it clear that they are just selling groceries and could not care less about the safety or comfort of its customers or at least its Jewish customers. It appears, to Publix every customer is the same and they are not willing to inform a paying customer that his conduct is inappropriate or offensive and if it is not immediately stopped, that the customer must leave the store.

As we shop and even as we walk the streets, this is just a reminder that we need to be more vigilant. If a person is ever in fear of his or her safety, they should immediately call 9 1 1. If it is possible to safely take a picture, one should do so. In situations like this, it is not possible. The incidents should always be reported to the police since the police track anti-Semitic incidents and, therefore, it must be reported even if the police will not be able to apprehend the aggressor.

Please take a minute and email the CEO and president of Publix and ask them why the Publix is so tolerant of a customer trashing a Jewish customer merely because he was Jewish and threatening him with bodily harm while all Publix personnel let out not a peep and offered no protection.

Aron Yaakov Vallach the me'chutzaf

This young "tzuzik" Aron Yaakov Vallach, who never worked a day in his life, closed the gemarrah of Harav Michel Mondrowitz, a prominent maggid Shiur in the Gerrer Shtibal of Rechov 68 Rebbe Akiva in Bnei Brak..
This happened on Shabbos morning before davening..



Vallach with a couple of other bullies came from another Gerrer Shtibal to embarrass the maggid shiur and also sang "Mocha Timcha" ...which is said in reference to ameiliek..

Forshayer Rebbe's Dirty Tricks?


Yesterday we posted that R' Chaim Rottenberg (kishmo kein hu), the Forshayer Rebbesent a notice to his kehilah that he would not allow any food in his shul with the Hashagacha of Harav Yechiel Steinmetz Shlitah.

Well.... there is a whole lot to this story and it has absolutely nothing to do with kashrus.... zilch!

The Forshayer Rebbe is the one in whose home, R Yosef Neiman was brutally stabbed in at a  Chanukah Melave Malkah in Monsey.
The Rebbe continued eating, clapping and dancing while R' Yosef was in a coma at Good Sam.

The hero in the house was Yosef Gluck who threw his body in front of the assailant while the shvartzer tried stabbing others. ... 
When the ADL and Rockland Federation offered Yosef Gluck an award of $20,000.00, the Forshayer prohibited the naive Gluck from taking the money, since according to the "fur-coat wearer" the money was tainted and contaminated by the Zionists....
Just so you know, The ADL and the Federation are Jewish American Local organizations...and are not affiliated with any Zionists.
Not caring about those facts, "Mr. Fur-Coat" went schnorring from the poverty stricken families of Williamsburg and managed to raise  "kosher money" for Gluck. Who knows how many Williamsburg babies will now be out of formula...?

Now back to our story...
Overnight I received the real story behind Rottenberg's banning the food of Rav Steinmetz and it's not pretty..

Some of the information was from Rabbi Rottenberg's own kehila who are "mad as hell." 

It seems that R' Yechiel Steinmetz, is a well respected Rav in Monsey and is also the one in charge of the Monsey Eiriv....

About ten years ago, Rav Steinmetz while he was inspecting the Eiriv in Forshay (a section in Monsey), found multiple issues with the poles and wires and asked the Forshay Community to correct them and gave them 6 months time to repair the "violations".

Rabbi Rottenberg has a shul in the community, and thinks that the entire Forshay area is his turf, and what's ironic is that his home and shul has its very own little Eiriv, and not part of the broader Monsey Eiriv ...... and he wasn't going to be bossed around by another Rav ....
so he took off his heavy fur coat and told the residents not to correct the problems.....that the Eiriv was kosher ... even though the Holy Rabbi himself never uses it ....
since he knows that the Eiriv without the corrections is only kosher for the goyishe neighbors ...

Behind the scene, a donor paid for the issues to be corrected and so the askanim went behind R Rottenberg's "fur-coated" back, and made all the repairs ...and Rav Steinmetz put back his hashagacha quietly and commented that "this is the only way to work with him."

Others have told me that this was in "retaliation over a dispute on fundraising" for Rav Steinmetz' eiriv that interfered with the fundraising of Fur-coater Rebbe.
That it was all about the money!

So now the chickens have come home to roost, its payback time...
and the best way to get back at Rav Steinmetz is to take away his parnassah during Covid-19....

Covid-19 is something that R' Rottenberg feels is a fake disease and just like he could care less about R' Yosef Naiman's condition in the hospital who was gasping for air and hemorrhaging, he could care less about the thousand frum Jews that died gasping for air from the virus ...  and kept his shul open during the entire Covid-19 episode..

Guys Come Home Before It's Too Late ...25,000 Calls from the US During June Alone to Nefesh B’Nefesh


Guys take pity on your children and grandchildren ... come home...
It's not an exaggeration .... 
just where I live I used to see signs "for Rent" or "For Sale" all the time...
Today I have not found a sign or a poster anywhere ... in fact in my building was a poster with a phone number ...begging ..us if we know of any apt for rent or sale..
Across the street from my home, 12 apartment building are going up... all the apartments are already sold, just last month they were offering all kinds of discounts and incentives ... no more ... 

If your married children want to stay ... leave them there ...do not listen to the rebbes .... they were absolutely wrong pre WW2 and they are wrong now ..
Sell your homes and business and come home...it's time..

Nefesh B’Nefesh, the veteran Jewish organization which has been encouraging aliya from western countries and the USA, reported unprecedented interest in options for aliya during the month of June. In the wake of the coronavirus, numerous people called the organization, which in a normal month receives several hundred to a few thousand calls. Many of those calling wanted to open aliya application procedures.


40 US Jews arrived in Israel Wednesday. In accordance with health regulations, they will spend two weeks in quarantine and then will be able to enter their new homes in Israel. Absorption Minister Penina Tamno-Shata told Arutz Sheva that “I am happy to welcome the arrival of new immigrants from America. They join the more than 7000 Jews who have immigrated to Israel in the past few months. Despite the challenges facing us due to the coronavirus pandemic, the state of Israel will always remain open to aliya at all times, whether during crisis periods or normal times. There is a significant rise in the level of interest, number of aliya applications and initiated procedures and at present the ministry of immigration and absorption which I head is preparing a broad national program for the large waves of aliya expected in the coming years.”
The director and founder of Nefesh B’Nefesh, Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, added that “in the past few months we have seen a tremendous leap in the number of calls to the Nefesh B’Nefesh hotline. The coronavirus crisis is not abating and thousands continue to express interest in immigrating to Israel. It is our duty to translate the interest of thousands into the immigration of thousands. Nefesh B’Nefesh is here to assist them together with all the national and governmental bodies.”

One Rebbe Dies and Now there are Nine!


This reminds me of the "makkeh tzfardeia" the plaque of frogs... according to Rashi there was only one frog ,but when some smart aleck hit it, it multiplied like crazy...

Death as they say is really part of life...
So usually when a Rebbe departs from this world, his oldest son becomes rebbe...or if there are daughters ..a son-in-law....

Except of course in Satmar, when the Beirach Moshe, the previous Satmar Rebbe appointed his younger son, R' Zalman Leib to replace him ...the oldest one, R' Aron Teitelbaum hauled his old feeble father to a court appointed psychiatrist to prove that he had gone insane.. and now we have two rebbes....

In Bobov, the eldest son of Reb Shlomo was Naftulchi, who succeeded him.... when Naftulchi died, he left no sons, but plenty of daughters, so his son-in-law Rav Unger crowned himself successor... until Ben Zion the younger son of Reb Shlomo crowned himself Rebbe since according to his Torah, he is the Yoirish... so now we have two Bobovers...One is Bobov 45 and one is Bobov 48.... (Bobov 45 isn't even on 45th street, he is on 51st Street)

When the Sanzer Rebbe from Boro-Park died, he left 9 sons... so I know exactly what you are thinking ...
Who is the oldest ... let's make him rebbe...
not so fast ....
At the leveyeh, when traditionally the successor is announced....
they announced that all 9 sons will be rebbes ...

So now there will be 9 new shuls with 9 new rebbes,.when their father was still alive ... he struggled with a minyan, but he didn't have to worry too much because between him and his children he had his very own minyan and didn't need any outsiders..
let's see what happens now...

I forgot ... there will be 10 rebbetzins now... which means 10 luckshin kugels ....

Monsey Rabbis Throw "Steinmetz Hashgacha Under the Bus


The Forshyer Rebbe just sent out a notice to his congregants that  he will not allow any "food with R' Yechiel Steinmetz's" Hashgacha in his shul....
The Forshayer is the same rabbi who continued with his Melave Malka, singing and clapping, while one of his loyal followers, who had just minutes before been stabbed in the head by a black assailant, was rushed to the hospital where he subsequently succumbed to his wounds. The Forshyer aka The Kossinyer Rebbe, defiantly kept his shul open during the entire Covid-19 pandemik. The rebbe is more concerned about some guy in his shul fressing a questionably Glatt kosher juicy steak than he is about the guy's life.
However, there was a meeting of local Monsey Rabbanim, who came to the conclusion that the Hashgacha of R' Yechiel Steinmetz or Steimets (there is a chilukei deos on how to spell his name) is worthless.. they didn't say what it was that Rav Steinmetz did wrong just that his hashgacha is worthless...
All this while restaurants are struggling to stay afloat.
This "Steinmetz" hashgacha is very popular in Monsey and has many restaurants with his hechshir. According to those who attended this meetings the rabbis pointed out that they had many lengthy discussions with him and asked him to correct many of the "violations" but he ignored their advice ..

So just like the BLM leaders brought gigantic companies down to their knees so will these rabbis now destroy the "Steinmetz" Hashgacha in one fell swoop...

Unless he served treif and there is no evidence that the restaurants under his hashgacha did ... he should be able to stay in business... after all he doesn't have to kow tow to R Rottenberg ..he can have his own standards ...but so far there is no further info..
We all know the Finkel Treif saga in Monsey awhile ago...
And I have a question.......
What is it with the heimishe hashgachas that have major Kashrus issues ....?
You hardly ever see this with the OU?  
My advice... eat from OU hashgachas....

Pass me a Devil Dog or better yet pass me a Yankee Doodle...

Let them Eat Cake!


My Dear Readers,
Covid-19 has apparently dumbed down our community. 

In the years past, people would ask our rabbanim serious "shaalis" especially when one met a Gadol Hador.... 
Now our holy community that finishes Shas every seven years and learns and finishes Mishna Berurah, want to know if they can bring home an "eyer kichel" for their lady that was slaving in the hot kitchen, doing homework with the kids, trying her best to get her brood of  screaming brats to sleep, while he was having a drink with his buddies..

Now I admit that I have been by Rav Chaim Kanievsky, after calling a friend of mine in the US who has "pull" there. And even after all the "protektzi," I still had to wait hours to finally get in there and was warned repeatedly to keep it down to three minutes....
So of course I prepped to get everything I wanted to say in the allotted time.....

So here comes a guy who probably was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and on silk sheets, waits who knows how long to get to see the Gadol Hador and guess what he asks him?

Please .... Please ... I got to get out of here... Please...
