Zaks Family.. Grandchildren of the Chofetz Chaim Fighting Like Cats & Dogs in Secular Courts




Before you know it, the Jewish people will be celebrating "kabolas ha'Torah" on Shevuois...
and we learned that every single Jew born or that was yet to be born was standing at Mount Sinai to accept the Torah ... 

It is interesting to note that the very next Parsha after "kabolas ha"torah" is Parshas Mishpatim..which deals with laws that pertain to "Bein Adom Le'chaveiro" laws between people, laws between family members.

The very first Rashi asks: 
Why does it state "ואלה" with a vov "ו"? It should have been written "אלה"?
Rashi answers: "מה הראשונים מסיני אף אלו מסיני"
the extra letter "vov" comes to connect the two Parshas... 
"just like we all know that the laws of the previous parsha, parshes Yisro was given at Sinai, so too these laws in Parshas Mishpatim were given at Sinai"

So far so good? Understood?

Let's move on to the third Rashi that discusses going to a Jewish Bais Din for any grievances between Jews and see what he says.

" ..... לפניהם:
....ולא לפני גויים
"שהמביא דיני ישראל לפני גוים מחלל את השם ומייקר שם ע"ז להחשיבה" 
"Before them..... but not before non-Jews, for one who brings legal matters of Israel before non-Jews, desecrates the Name of God, and accords esteem to the name of the idols, by attributing importance to it ...

I am not going to go into the case itself ( choc -full of lying testimony and outright thievery, having their minor sons do their dirty work, this Judge no one's fool saw thru their shenanigans ) ...
you can read the Judge's decision on my next page and judge for yourself ...The Judge is a gentile... You don't have to wonder what he is thinking, just read the decision..but before you do bring a barf bag!

Question: What is it with children and grandchildren of our most respected and revered rabbis that they  have no compunction of taking their grievances against their very own brothers and sisters to secular court? Have they missed this Rashi? Did they take a nap when the Torah was given?
How do these people still have a following? How does anyone have any respect for these guys? How does anyone go to these guys for Torah advice, when they themselves are openly desecrating the Torah? 
Why would any "pushitir yid" your regular "Joe Shmo" want to go to Bais Din when the leaders themselves go to secular court? When the leaders themselves don't trust Bais Din to come up with a fair decision. When the leaders themselves believe that Bais Din is corrupt?And what does this say about how the Bais Din system works?
Go to the next page .. read and weep!

Portland cut police funding and Now There Is a 2,000% surge in murders

 Last June, the city of Portland, Oregon, hopped on the “defund the police” bandwagon. Now, it is flooded with gun violence, and the mayor is already backtracking from his support for the cuts.

Mayor Ted Wheeler has requested $2 million in emergency funding for the police department, pointing directly to the surge in gun violence. At this point last year, Portland had seen just one homicide. This year, that number is 20, with 208 shootings in the city so far.

Wheeler backed the Portland City Council’s decision to cut $15 million from the police budget last June, which included disbanding police units that investigate gun violence. Predictably, that move backfired in a city that saw 100 consecutive days of violent rioting last year.

Riots are back once again in the city, thanks to Wheeler’s spinelessness. Rioters have once again targeted a federal courthouse in the city, a reprise of the violent storming of the courthouse last July. In June, it was reported that the city lost around $24 million due to the riots. Damage to federal buildings totals roughly $2.3 million.

Portland, like Minneapolis, doesn’t have and never did have an overpolicing problem. The city has an underpolicing problem, compounded by cowardly city leaders who pander to anti-police activists. Portland city leaders, just liketheir Minneapolis counterparts, humored these leftist ideologues while turning a blind eye to riots. Now, they reap the whirlwind in the form of a surge in violent crime.

And this is Portland, so there is no Republican to blame for this issue. Wheeler is a Democrat. So are the city council members, with one independent who was endorsed by the council’s Democratic members. Gov. Kate Brown, who said that former President Donald Trump was “provoking confrontation for political purposes” by protecting the courthouse, is a Democrat. So is President Biden, who currently has federal agents trying to protect the courthouse.

Nor is there any plausible way to blame the availability of guns in Oregon or in neighboring states. Guns are exactly as available today as they were before this 2,000% surge in murders. 

This is what happens when people who are tasked with actually running a city embrace ridiculous ideologies to please activists. I would say that Portland residents deserve better, but this is the leadership they chose for their city. Given the failures of Wheeler and the city council to this point, the voters are the only ones who can change course. 

If the 2020 election is any indication, it won’t be happening any time soon.

New invasive mosquito species known for carrying viruses found in Florida

 

A new invasive species of mosquito known to carry viruses, including yellow fever, has been discovered in Florida, scientists have warned.

The Aedes scapularis mosquitoes have been confirmed in two South Florida counties — Miami-Dade and Broward — but are now at risk of spreading along Florida’s gulf and Atlantic coasts, according to a study co-authored by Lawrence Reeves, an entomologist and research scientist with the University of Florida.

Until now, the insects have primarily been found in the Caribbean and Latin America, NPR reported.

In Brazil, they’ve been found infected with “a range of diseases” such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and yellow fever virus, Reeves told the outlet.

It’s unclear whether the disease-ridden species actually spread the viruses they carry, but as outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases — most recently, dengue fever — have emerged in Florida, researchers say the discovery is important.

Lindsay Campbell, who co-authored the study with Reeves, said it is known that Aedes scapularis mosquitoes like to go indoors — and they feed on both wildlife and people.

Why Did the Grammys Give a Platform to a Known Anti-Semite?


 With the “awards” season in the entertainment industry in full swing, maybe we should all get honest and call these shows what they really are: Anti-Semitic and Anti-American propaganda.

Nowhere is this clearer than the recent Grammy awards, whose viewership was down over 50% from last year’s ratings. The “song of the year” was “I Can’t Breathe” by H.E.R., a song about George Floyd, the convicted felon whose tragic death sparked so many riots. 

A song that includes the lyrics about bringing a “gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights,” and an American pride in “justifying a homicide,” it is an anthem not for the equality that all Americans (black, white, and everyone) should have, but an attack on our nation while propping up a felon as if he were a saint. 

It is true that music has always been a voice for political change. And it should always remain so. Even though this piece of propaganda is over the top, it carries an important voice into the national stream of consciousness.

But the inclusion and promotion of hate-monger Tamika Mallory in the Grammy awards is a great reason to never support the industry again.

Israeli Supreme Court strikes down government limits on air travel

 

The Israeli Supreme Court struck down key government restrictions on air travel Wednesday, dealing a blow to the government’s airport policies.

A three-judge panel handed down the ruling Wednesday afternoon, excoriating the government over its handling of the issue of air travel during the COVID crisis.

In its ruling, the justices tossed out the limit imposed by the government on the total number of passengers allowed to enter Israel by air each day. The 3,000 passenger daily limit will end on Saturday.

In addition, the court ruled that the requirement for travelers who lack both vaccination certificates and certificates of recovery from COVID to received special permission to travel from a government committee is illegal, striking down the need to receive approval from the exceptions committee. Travelers looking to depart from Israel after this coming Saturday will not be required to receive permission from the exceptions committee.

The justices, led by chief justice Esther Hayut, blasted the government over the way it adopted the restrictions, saying the decisions were made without references to relevant data.

“In the future, any new restrictions on travel into or out of Israel need, in legal terms, a comprehensive, factual, data-based foundation.”

The court also slammed the restrictions themselves, writing in the ruling that the limits constitute an "assault on the very heart of the legal right to enter Israel and to leave it, and other rights that are at the heart of the fabric of life in democratic societies."

"It seems that instead of investing the effort and resources to enforce isolation, the violation of which is at the center of fears of outbreaks of [COVID] variants, the government preferred to impose a regime on entry and departure from Israel that is easier to do, but much more seriously harms basic rights."

Iranian woman dies of heart attack before execution, still gets hanged

 

An Iranian woman who died of a heart attack shortly before her execution last week was hanged anyway to placate her alleged victim’s mother, her lawyer said.

Zahra Ismaili had been convicted of murder for killing her husband. Ismaili’s lawyer, Omid Moradi, said her husband was abusive and that she killed him out of self-defense, The Times reported.

Moradi said Ismaili was sent to be hanged in the Rajai Shahr Prison, in the town of Karaj, near Tehran.

She was forced to wait behind 16 men who were executed and watch. While in line, she collapsed, apparently from a heart attack, and died.

Her lifeless body was hanged anyway so her husband’s mother could kick the chair out from under her legs, which was considered her right.

Her cause of death was listed as “cardiac arrest,” according to Al-Arabiya.

The woman’s husband, Alireza Zamani was an official in the Iranian intelligence ministry, Moradi said. The couple had two children.

Iran draws harsh criticism from the international community for its executions, which include killings of dissidents, non-violent offenders and people convicted of committing crimes as minors.

Iran executes more people than any country besides China. The UN said Iran executed at least 233 people in 2020, including at least three who were minors at the time of their alleged offenses.

Meshi-Zahav will claim all relations consensual in sex crimes case

 

The biggest mistake Yehuda Meshi-Zahav made, besides the fact that he loves women and men in a biblical way, is that he left the anti-Zionist Chareidie world and embraced the Zionists... 
Big Mistake....
because if he had remained an anti-Zionist he would have been protected and they would have accepted him no matter what... since they would never ever throw one of their own to the curb.
Witness the fact that the anti-Zionist Chareidiem always protect their sexual molesters and perverts ..even when they rape their own daughters...
Now he is in big dog doodo....and the ironic part of this story is that it was the very Zionist press that exposed him ... of course they were fed the details by the anti-Zionists that knew all about him for over 20 years..... in the Chareidie communities this was no secret ... and Haaretz which by the way are also Zionist haters, love exposing a chareidie and so they ran with the story knowing full well that Yehuda Meshi-Zahav-Zahav lost all his clout with his own people..
