Stunning unseen footage reveals The Beatles as never before

 

Peter Jackson got it back.

The “Lord of the Rings” director has been sifting through 56 hours of previously unseen footage of The Beatles rehearsing and horsing around from their final months playing together. Those moments led up to their infamous concert on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters on Savile Row in January 1969.

On the heels of the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination, Jackson is giving fans a “sneaky preview,” as he called it, of the film “The Beatles: Get Back.”

The unearthed footage was salvaged from Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s long-lost “Let It Be,” a 1970 television documentary charting the squabbles and tension in the lead-up to the band’s final album and concert, to lukewarm reception.

Rumor has it band members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr blocked the release of the doc, complaining that it featured frontman John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, too prominently. 

But Jackson’s installment in the band’s final chapter is expected to be less contentious. The 59-year-old is in the process of editing in New Zealand.

“This film was due to be finished ’round about now,” said Jackson, who was forced to push back production due to COVID-19. He calls the footage “great stuff” and presents fans with a montage to get a “sense of the spirit” and the “vibe and the energy that the film’s going to have.” 

Fans are treated to about four minutes of good-natured footage of the band.

“And now, your host for this evening, the Bottles,” jokes a long-haired John Lennon in one cut. In another, the British bandmates read aloud from a newspaper column about George Harrison facing jail time in France. McCartney’s wife Linda Eastman and daughter Mary, plus Ono, and fashionable sets of groupies, producers and executives feature as the rock stars play. 

The fast-paced supercut serves as prelude to the film that Jackson promises sometime in 2021. Official trailers will be out next year too. For now, fans will have to be content with Jackson’s “montage of moments.” 

“Hopefully it will put a smile on your face in these rather bleak times that we’re in.”

1,500 France-Bound Trucks Stranded In England

 

More than 1,500 trucks were stranded in England on Tuesday morning amid fears that Britain could face food shortages if travel restrictions put in place to slow the spread of a new strain of the coronavirus aren’t lifted soon.

Dozens of countries around the world have slapped tough travel curbs on the U.K. in recent days: From Canada to India, nations banned flights from Britain, while France barred the entry of trucks from the country for 48 hours from late Sunday while the strain is assessed.

Home Secretary Priti Patel told BBC radio that the British government is “speaking constantly” with France to achieve a swift resolution in order to get freight moving again. In the meantime, trucks were piling up in Kent, the county in southeast England that is home to some of the most popular cross-Channel ports.

Orthodox leaders back calls for mass vaccination

Rabbi David Lau (r) and MK Yitzhak Pindros (l) get vaccinated

Despite small but vocal group of anti-vaccine rabbis, Orthodox leadership expresses support for new vaccine, urging public to get vaccinated

At the beginning of his weekly video Torah lesson, Rabbi Asher Weiss let his viewers know he was about to broach a contentious topic.

“I know that not everybody will like what I say,” said Weiss, a leading Orthodox Jewish legal authority in Israel with a large following in the United States, peppering Hebrew terms into his speech. “But if I won’t speak my mind I think it would be a sin.”

The sensitive subject of his lesson?

The COVID-19 vaccine. After an hourlong class packed with rabbinic sources, Weiss gave his verdict: “When we deal with the question [of whether] to take the vaccine: Yes. Definitely yes.

“Every new medicine or medical procedure might have long-term effects, but we always try to strike the right balance between what is needed now and what might, theoretically, happen in the future,” he said. “People are dying, people are suffering, and we could alleviate this pain, and diminish the suffering and save many people. This is a safe vaccine as far as we could know.”

Weiss’ lesson echoes what medical and rabbinic authorities across the Orthodox world are saying as the COVID-19 vaccine begins to become available. Virtually all Orthodox leaders are encouraging their communities to trust the medical consensus and take the vaccine when it becomes available, and in Israel, many are already publicly sharing their own vaccinations.

Yet Orthodox health professionals and communal leaders do worry that a vocal minority of their community won’t heed their guidance. They point to skepticism regarding the vaccine in the overall population because of anti-vaccine sentiments — in the past expressed by some leading Orthodox rabbis — as well as nervousness with the speed at which the vaccines were developed and the politicization of the virus.

Rabbi Pinchas Daniel of Beitar Illit 44 Collapses and Dies at Wedding

Another day, another tragedy, this time in Beitar Illit, where a 44-year-old man, Rabbi Pinchas Daniel, collapsed on Monday night during a wedding and passed away.

Rabbi Daniel was a well-known figure in Beitar Illit and also in nearby Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem, where he taught classes in boys’ elementary and high schools. He had been participating in the wedding of one of the members of the kollel in which he learned when the tragedy occurred, Behadrey Haredim reports.

During the wedding, he suddenly collapsed and fell unconscious. United Hatzalah paramedics rushed to his aid and immediately began resuscitation attempts which continued as he was transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem; however, they were unsuccessful and his death was determined.

Rabbi Daniel belonged to the Heichal Ovadya community in Beitar, and those who knew him described him as a “special person, a learned man who was immersed in Torah and Jewish law, beloved by others and always looking to help others in whatever way he could.”

Rabbi Pinchas Daniel is outlived by his father, a teacher in the Hazon Ovadya yeshiva, and by his wife and seven young children.

The funeral is set for Tuesday at half past twelve and will leave from the plaza outside the Herzog hospital in Jerusalem to Har Hemenuchot.

Sassover Rebbe Slams COVID Vaccine, Calls Doctors “Murderers” Says He Saved 30,000 People With His "Drops"

Video Player

He says that the "government of Israel doesn't care about people" He is talking about a government that sends its doctors all over the world to save people... the government that sent the IDF to rescue Jews ... not Israelis... Jews .. to Ethiopia during the Entebbe raid... this government that fought and died for this guy ... 

he says that his "Drops" saved over 30,000 people... 

This guy is delusional and dangerous ... and spews out right lies ... he falsely claims that you need 10 people to get married ..and that the government wouldn't allow even 10... al pi halacha if you have two witnesses when giving your bride a ring ... you are married and if you want out you need a divorce.

Then he brings a story that he sat with Rav Eliyashiv for 2 hours and that Rav Eliyashiv couldn't understand why someone would take a vaccine that wasn't out at least three years on the market ...

This "Story" makes absolutely no sense on so many levels... First of all it's hard to believe that Rav Elyashiv would sit and chat with someone for "two hours" especially with this guy .... second of all there was no pandemic of this magnitude in Israel where people are dying like flies and therefore Rav Eliyashiv if he said that and I doubt that he did, wasn't talking about Covid-19 ...

 During his final shiur on Chanukah, Rabbi Yosef Dovid Teitelbaum, otherwise known as the Sassover Rebber, raised a number of tough questions with regard to the distribution of the Coronavirus vaccinations that are now being administered in Israel and other countries.

“It is not easy for me to say this. I thought a lot about whether to speak and I know I will be criticized for it. The Gedolim have stated their opinion regarding vaccinations and I am like dust before them but even dust can say its opinion.”

“I had the good fortune to be partly responsible for saving the lives of 30,000 people who received the Matan Chaim drops. I gave these drops in America as well. People who were willing to commit the folly of going to the hospital where nobody recovered, I begged them not to go and gave them Matan Chaim drops and they recovered.”

The Rebbe went on to attack many members of the medical society. “The doctors are murderers since they don’t permit the use of the drops and these murderers are now telling us to take the vaccine. I don’t know, maybe it’s a good vaccine but we don’t know. When will we know? When there is harm? Already now they are saying that people with allergies can’t take it, as it is a live virus being injected into the body.”

The Rebbe then begged forgiveness from those who have different opinions. “With all due respect to those Askanim who went and researched the issue and then went to the Gedolim and obtained their signatures allowing for their followers to take the vaccines, I’m not talking about them since they have their interests and can help people. But to those who ask me, I tell them to care for their own lives and not take the vaccine.”

The Rebbe then sharply attacked the Israeli government for the way it has managed the pandemic. “Life is worthless in the eyes of the government. Only commerce is permitted. Prayer and shuls are forbidden, weddings are prohibited, one couldn’t even marry in a minyan this year, since they wanted ‘to cause us to forget Your Torah.’ There was never such an edict prohibiting weddings. The miracle took place that the police were too lazy to enforce it. These are the people who are supposed to save lives? These are the Greeks and the Hellenists. We have Torah sages. When it comes to matters regarding issues of life and death, we need a Sanhedrin. We cannot suffice with a proclamation by Askanim who took their research to the Gedolim.”

I sat with Rabbi Elyashiv in 1980, and we discussed a medical matter for more than two hours. At the end of our deliberation, Rabbi Elyashiv said: How can one take responsibility for a product that has only been on the market for a year or two? How are we to know that it won’t cause harm later? How can we permit a person to let such a thing enter one’s body? Perhaps we could allow it if the item was on the market for such a short time and the entire world checked it, not just a few companies.”
