Covid is Killing Our Gedoilim As It Claims Yet Another Victim HaRav Chaim Meir Wosner, Z’TL

 HaGaon HaRav Chaim Meir Wosner, z’tl, Av Beis Din of Zichron Meir in Bnei Brak, was niftar on Sunday at the age of 82 after being hospitalized in serious condition for the past two weeks in Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital due to the coronavirus.

When the bitter news arrived, the paroches in Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin in Bnei Brak was removed, where the Rosh Yeshivah was marbitz Torah and yiras Shamayim for many years.

The niftar was born in Vienna, Austria to his father, the Posek HaDor HaGaon HaRav Shmuel HaLevi Wosner, z’tl, the Ba’al Shevet Levi.

As a toddler, HaRav Chaim Meir’s parents escaped the Nazis to Eretz Yisrael prior to World War Ill and he was separated from them for six years. HaRav Chaim Meir stayed with his maternal grandparents and B’Chasdei Hashem survived the Holocaust with the help of Chassidei Umas HaOlam. When he was eight, he reached Eretz Yisrael via Czechoslovakia and was finally reunited with his parents.

As a bochur, HaRav Chaim Meir learned most of his Torah from his revered father, z’tl. As an adult, his father appointed him to serve as the Rosh Mesivta in Chachmei Lublin in the Zichron Meir neighborhood of Bnei Brak. Later, he moved to London, where he served as the Rav of the Kehillas Yeitav Lev -Satmarin London for 18 years and authored Shailos U’Teshuvos Simchas HaLevi.

Six years before the Shevet Halevi, z’tl, was niftar, he instructed HaRav Chaim Meir to move back to Bnei Brak, laying the ground for him to take over as Rosh Yeshivah of Chachmei Lublin and serve as the leader of the community.

In the Shevet HaLevi’s last years, he made it known that he wants HaRav Chaim Meir, who was known as a tremendous Talmid Chacham and Posek, to be his successor.

During the levaya for the Shevet HaLevi, z’tl, HaRav Chaim Meir was appointed as Av Beis Din, Rosh Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin and the Rav of Zichron Meir.

HaRav Chaim Meir, z’tl, left behind 13 children. His oldest son, HaRav Yosef Binyamin served as the Rosh Yeshivah of Chachmei Lublin alongside his father.

His son HaRav Akiva serves as a Moreh Tzedek of the Eidah Chareidis in Yerushalayim, HaRav Aharon serves as the Moreh Tzedek in the Beis Din Netivot Chaim and as the Rosh Kollel Shearis Yosef, HaRav Mordechai Zeev serves as the Rav of Khal Machzeh Avraham in New York, HaRav Moshe Shimon, serves as a Rav in Chateau Park in Lakewood, and HaRav Yisrael is the Mintzker Rebbe in New York.

Ira Rosen's New Book details 'Two-faced' Diane Sawyer, 'lazy' Katie Couric and Mike Rather the Pervert, & 'entitled' Chris Cuomo:

A former TV producer is spilling secrets about America's most famous news anchors in an explosive new memoir.  

Ira Rosen, who has worked at 60 Minutes and 20/20 over the span of four decades, makes several scathing assessments in his tome Ticking Clock, set for release on February 16.  

Rosen brands Diane Sawyer as 'two-faced', Katie Couric as 'lazy' and 'Chris Cuomo as 'entitled' in excerpts of the book obtained by The New York Post.

The Emmy Award winning producer also reveals a secret rivalry between Sawyer and her female co-anchor Barbara Walters, as well as a bitter yearlong feud between father and son newsmen Mike and Chris Wallace. 

Rosen began his career in the TV news business back in 1980 when he landed a job at 60 Minutes. 

There, he began a fractious long-term professional partnership with co-anchor Mike Wallace. 

Wallace was regarded as one of the top TV journalists in the world, but Rosen claims that the anchor 'seemed to define his life by how much trouble he could cause'.

According to The Post, Wallace 'was notorious for his 'Neanderthal behavior' toward women, snapping their bra straps and slapping their bottoms.'

Rosen writes that one female produced even smacked Wallace across the face after an alleged advance. 

Craziness behind those smiles!

Meanwhile, Wallace reportedly relished picking fights with his co-workers, regularly stealing stories from fellow anchors Ed Bradley and Morley Safer. 

'Months would go by in which Safer would not speak to Wallace, even though their offices were next door to each other,' Rosen writes.

Federal filings show Rep. Ilhan Omar's 2020 campaign made up nearly 80% of payments to her husband's consulting firm

Federal Election Commission filings reveal payments from Rep. Ilhan Omar's campaign made up the vast majority of money her husband's consulting firm earned during the 2020 election cycle. 

E Street Group, which is partially owned by Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, drew in $2.9 million from Rep. Omar's 2020 campaign and $3.7 million in total political spending from other candidates.

Between January 2019 and November 2020, Omar's campaign contributed 78 percent of the total campaign funds received by the E Street Group.

According to Fox News, Omar promised not to have further ties with E Street Group in mid-November - payments in the FEC filings were made before then.

'Every dollar that was spent went to a team of more than 20 that were helping us fight back against attacks and organize on the ground and online in a COVID-19 world,' Omar wrote in a campaign email.

'And Tim -- beyond his salary at the firm -- received no profit whatsoever from the consulting relationship the firm provided.'

Prior to that, however, Omar pushed back against the idea of cutting ties with the E Street Group, despite the potential optics of impropriety.

Trump's lawyer David Schoen asks for the trial to be paused if it runs into the Sabbath - throwing its timeline into uncertainty

 Donald Trump's impeachment lawyer David Schoen has asked for the trial to be paused if it runs into the Sabbath because he is an observant Jew, in a move that could throw the timeline into uncertainty.

Schoen, sent a letter to Senate leaders requesting the trial be put on hold past sundown on Friday through Saturday, according to the New York Times. 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office, who is also Jewish, said the Senate will 'accommodate' Schoen's request. 

However a pause could string the impeachment trial out longer than is in the interests of both parties.

Both sides want a speedy trial with the Democrats almost certain not to get a conviction and keen to prevent further delays to the Biden administration's plans, while Republicans opposed the trial going ahead at all now Trump is no longer in office. 

Schoen, who is heading up Trump's legal team, said this week he will argue the ex-president was not responsible for the MAGA mob riot that left five - including a Capitol cop - dead.  

Schoen wrote the letter to Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Democratic Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the president pro tempore of the Senate who will preside over next week's trial asking that the Sabbath be observed when the trial starts Tuesday.

'I apologize for the inconvenience my request that impeachment proceedings not be conducted during the Jewish Sabbath undoubtedly will cause other people involved in the proceedings,' he wrote. 

'The practices and prohibitions are mandatory for me, however; so, respectfully, I have no choice but to make this request.'  

The Sabbath runs from sundown at 5:24 pm Friday until 6:25 pm on Saturday, with observant Jews prohibited from working during this time. 

Schoen suggested that if the trial has not concluded by sundown Friday, it could resume again on Sunday once the Sabbath is over.

This Deadly Tragedy at a Yiddish Performance is the Reason it’s Illegal to Yell ‘fire!’ in a Crowded Theater

by Henry Abramson

Former President Trump’s impeachment defense team intends to argue that his infamous Jan. 6 speech, in which he exhorted his followers to “fight like hell” and march “to the Capitol,” was permitted by his First Amendment rights to free speech. Political opponents are already calling reference to the well-known Supreme Court decision (Schenck v. United States, 1919) that limits free speech to exclude harmful expressions — such as, most famously, falsely yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater. 

Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer have encouraged incitement as well.

The phrase is not theoretical: It was drawn from a tragedy that occurred on a cold night in January 1887 at the Hebrew Dramatic Club of London and took the lives of 17 people.
