Three Days After He Went Missing In Meron, 39-Year-old Found Alive and Well

 

The family of Chaim Yitzchak Icht can take a deep sigh of relief as the 39-year-old man who went missing on Friday morning during the tragedy in Meron, has been found alive and well. Chaim participated in the celebration in Meron and his family feared that he was among those injured or killed in the tragedy, but he could not be located at any of the hospitals where the injured were taken to.

Earlier, the police announced that they had begun a widespread search for Chaim after he had not been seen since Thursday night. The police advertised his image and asked for the public’s help in finding him.

Sophia, Chaim’s mother told Ynet that Chaim used to travel to Meron and Uman every year. A friend of his told him not to go up to Meron this year as there are a lot of people in a small area and it wouldn’t be healthy. “When we heard about the tragedy, we tried to contact him but we couldn’t get in touch. I tried to call him, as did his wife but to no avail.”

Icht, a resident of Beer Sheva, was last seen on Thursday at 20:30 at Meron. Tonight, he called his family and told them he was on his way home.

3 wounded in terrorist shooting near Israeli town in Samaria

 

A shooting was reported in central Samaria Sunday afternoon, outside of the Israeli town of Kfar Tapuah.

Initial reports indicate the attack was carried out by terrorists firing from a vehicle as it drove by Tapuah Junction. The shots were fired at Israeli civilians waiting at a bus stop.

MDA reported that three people, all said to be in their 20s, were wounded in the terrorist attack.

United Hatzlah and MDA emergency first responders were dispatched to the scene to assist IDF medical teams in treating the wounded and evacuate them to hospitals for further treatment. One of the wounded is said to be unconscious.

Two of the victims are reportedly in serious condition, while a third is in light condition.

The attack occurred at 5:54 p.m. Sunday afternoon, MDA said.

IDF forces are currently in pursuit of the terrorists, who fled the scene in their vehicle immediately after the shooting attack.

United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Menachem Bakush, who was one of the first responders at the scene relayed, "When I arrived I saw three young people each with varying injuries. One was in critical condition, one in serious condition and one in moderate condition. After receiving initial treatment at the scene, they were all transported to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikvah."

Democrat Party’s War on Blacks Picking Up Full Steam

 

Tim Scott, a black United States Senator who in 2016 won 61 percent of the vote in the conservative state of South Carolina, who earned more raw votes and won by a wider margin than Donald Trump, has done more in just a few days to drag the racism of the Democrat party out into the sunlight than the feckless Republican party ever has.

On Wednesday night, during his brilliant rebuttal to His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s congressional address, and through the simple act of stating a truth, Scott smoked these racist monsters out and proved once again that racism is still very much a part of the Democrat party’s DNA, a DNA that stretches back to their creation of the Jim Crow South and their willingness to go to war to stop a Republican president from taking away their slaves.

“Hear me clearly,” Scott said. “America is not a racist country.”

With those nine words, Scott undermined everything that motivates today’s organized left, and to prove Scott wrong, to prove America is indeed a racist country, Democrats hurled the worst kind of racism directly at Scott.

Female soldiers were attacked by Haredim when assisting at Meron disaster

 

Soldiers of the Israel Defense Force’s Home Front Command were physically and verbally attacked by ultra-Orthodox Jews while they were assisting in searching for dead and wounded in the stampede during Lag B’Omer celebrations at Mount Meron, the IDF said late Saturday.

“We entered the gravesite to search for injured people and suddenly a commotion began that there are female soldiers in uniforms who are touching the wounded,” a soldier told Army Radio earlier.

“They started to kick and spit on us. The female soldiers were kicked, spit on, and punched from every direction,” the radio station quoted the soldier saying. Hebrew media reports said five female soldiers were targeted.

The military confirmed the incident, saying in a statement that “the force continued on its mission and ignored the harmful behavior.”

“The IDF views this incident very gravely and condemns any violence — physical or verbal — toward female and male soldiers. The IDF in general and the Home Front Command in particular will continue to extend a hand, to assist and to save any citizen or resident in a time of need,” a spokesperson for the military added.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz said in a statement: “Saving live is a supreme value and I’m proud of all IDF soldiers in treating the wounding in the disaster at Miron and firmly condemn whoever attacked the soldiers there.

“Many citizens owe their lives to those who were called to the event. Just like at Moron, just like during the coronavirus, IDF soldiers will continue to save lives wherever they are needed.”

On Friday, a spokesperson for the IDF said “Search and Rescue Brigade troops, Northern Command medical teams and a number of IAF helicopters with medical teams and Unit 669 forces are assisting in the mass casualty incident in Mount Meron.”

Forty-five people were crushed to death and more than 150 people hurt, including several in critical condition.

Florida Gov to Sign Bill that Will Not Allow Twitter or Facebook to Kick Off People Their Platforms

 

Social media companies would be unable to permanently kick people off their platforms under a tough new Florida law.

The bill, passed by the GOP-dominated state Legislature Thursday and awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature, would make it a crime to remove state political candidates from Twitter and Facebook, and would mete out penalties of $250,000 a day for any statewide candidate who is deplatformed. 

Removing more local candidates would cost the company $25,000 a day. 

The bill also requires tech companies to give users seven days notice that they are at risk of being banned and offer them the opportunity to correct the issue. Suspensions of up to 14 days would still be allowed.

“What this bill is about is sending a loud message to Silicon Valley that they are not the absolute arbiters of truth,” GOP state Rep. John Snyder said Wednesday, NBC News reported. “What this bill does is send a loud message that the Constitution does not have an asterisk that says only certain speech is free and protected.”

Big tech advocacy groups have struck back saying the law would violate their First Amendment right to decide who can participate on their platforms.

100 Year-Old 6'10" Fish Caught in Detroit...

A US Fish and Wildlife Service crew caught a nearly 6-foot-10, 240-pound sturgeon on the Detroit River.

 A US Fish and Wildlife Service crew got the shock of their lives when, while on patrol on the Detroit River, they reeled in a nearly 6-foot-10, 240-pound sturgeon, likely over 100 years old.

The fish, believed to be one of the largest ever caught in the United States, was found near Grosse Ile. The crew tagged and released it back into the river.

“We’re trying to protect this fishery,” Justin Chiotti, a US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist told The Detroit Free Press. “Everybody is always catching a huge sturgeon. Everybody catches a 100-pounder. But a fish this size is very, very rare to catch.”

The scientists estimated to the paper that the fish hatched in the Detroit River sometime in the 1920s when Detroit was the fourth-largest city in America. But, they added, that’s a conservative guess. It likely is even older.

Is R' Shimon ben Yochai Even Buried in Meron? Was he Niftar on Lag Be'Omer? Did he actually write the Zohar? You will be very Surprised!

From EMAILIM BATORAH 

1) Where is Kever רשב"י located?

According to ר' מנחם החברוני (13th century)

רשב"י is buried in Kfar Chananya *(15 km. south of Meron)

2) What day in the עומר was רשב"י niftar?

According to the חיד"א, there is no מקור anywhere

that רשב"י was niftar on Lag Baomer**.

3) Who wrote the Zohar?

According to the יעב"ץ, (The Chasam Sofer seems

to agree) it was R. Moishe d'Leon (not רשב"י)

4) What day did the Talmidei R. Akiva stop dying?

According to the many Poskim, they still died on

Lag Baomer but stopped on the 34th day of the עומר .

5) How many Talmidim of R. Akiva died between

Pesach & Shavuos?

The גמרא (Yevamos 62) says 12,000 pairs of

Talmidim.The מדרש says it was only 300 Talmidim.

6) How did they die?

The גמרא says they all died of a disease called Askera.

 According to Harav Hagaon Y. Henkin zt"l and others, the

גמרא uses Askera as a code for getting killed fighting

the Romans.

7)  How can you bring Nachas to רשב"י (guaranteed)?

The שואל ומשיב  5 - 39  writes " if you distribute the  money

to עניי ארץ ישראל instead of spending it to go to his

 Kever etc., he guarantees רשב"י will have  much more

Nachas Ruach.

8) Why do we celebrate Lag Baomer with קצת שמחה?

According to the Chasam Sofer  the קצת שמחה has nothing

to do with רשב"י but because it's the Sefirah of הוד שבהוד***

and to commemorate the first day the מן came down in

the מדבר.

9)  Why you should not celebrate ל"ג בעומר with

dancing & music in חוץ לארץ ?

According to the   מנחת אלעזר ח"ד :ס because it is only a

Minhag Eretz Yisroel Celebrating in Chutz Laaretz is

onsidered strange & haughty כזרות יחשב וכיוהרא 

10) Why is it forbidden to dance in front of a fire?

The תוספתא (Shabbos 7:1) says clapping hands or 

dancing in front of a fire is אסור because of דרכי אמורי.

Daniel Morris from New Jersey among dead in Meron disaster

 

The Sha'alvim Yeshiva is mourning the death of Daniel (Donny) Morris, a 19-year-old student from Teaneck, New Jersey, who was studying at the yeshiva.

Morris was among the 45 killed in the Meron disaster at 1:00a.m. Friday morning.

Following the stampede, the yeshiva's staff searched for Morris in the various hospitals, until they received the heartbreaking news that he was among the dead.

"Daniel was an amazing student, he was studious and beloved by his friends, he had a sense of humor and was bursting with love of life," the yeshiva said. "Daniel had an excellent character and acted with pleasantness; he loved very much to learn Torah. He came to Israel from New Jersey, in order to learn Torah in the Land of Israel."

"Sha'alvim embraces the bereaved Morris family and is in touch with his parents, family, and community rabbi, who all received the bitter news. The school's staff is embracing Daniel's friends and the shocked students, and is in touch with professionals to provide the necessary support."
