Lawyer for scooter ‘thief’ victim-shames Chassidishe 7-year-old kid in court

 

The “lowlife” thief charged with stealing a then-6-year-old Brooklyn boy’s scooter was ordered held on $50,000 bail Tuesday — while his lawyer took a cheap shot at the young victim.

“I don’t know why a 7-year-old is on an electric scooter,” Brooklyn Public Defenders attorney Sarah Burleson, who represents accused scooter thief Daniel Ufares, griped at his arraignment.

Ufares, 59, was charged with second-degree attempted robbery, third-degree robbery, fourth-degree grand larceny, petty larceny, and menacing in the callous July 7 crime.

He kept his head bowed and said little as he faced Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Quynda Santacroce, who also issued an order of protection ordering the accused thief to stay away from the young victim. 

“Yes, ma’am,” was all Ufares said when the judge explained the order.

He is charged with the cold-hearted theft of the boy’s scooter in Borough Park, grabbing the handlebars and snatching the toy away from the youngster — with the callous crime caught on surveillance video.

Ufares was busted Monday and initially charged with possession of stolen property, admitting to cops that he swiped the scooter for drug money, according to police.

The boy’s dad said the incident left his son traumatized and that the scooter actually belonged to another son with special needs who needed it to get around.

The NYPD stepped up to help the family, buying them a new e-scooter for the boy, who has since turned 7. 

Ufares’ ex-wife said she was surprised that even he would pull off such a heartless crime — despite his lengthy criminal history.

“I would never have thought he’d do that to kids,” she told The Post. “He’s a lowlife.”

Brooklyn prosecutor Wilfred Cotto wanted Ufares held on $100,000 bail at his arraignment Tuesday, saying he “is a repeat offender, two violent felonies, two parole revocations.” 

Cotto said that includes a 1991 manslaughter case.

According to police and court records, Ufares was still on parole and supervised release for a 2010 Queens robbery conviction when he was busted in the scooter heist.

In court, Burleson, his lawyer, said her client suffers from addiction and needs help.

“He is not doing harm to anyone but himself, your honor,” she told the judge. “Mr. Ufares has addiction issues which need to be addressed. He needs greater assistance.”

American Yeshiva Bochur In Israel In Critical Condition Due To Heatstroke

 

The rescue operation at Nachal Guvta.

An American yeshivah bochur, a 22-year-old Gerrer chassid, is in serious condition, sedated and ventilated, after suffering heatstroke while on a hike on Monday evening.

The bochur was hiking with friends at Nachal Guvta on the slopes of Har Chermon and apparently suffered heatstroke due to the heavy heatwave Israel has been experiencing in recent days and lost consciousness. His friends called for help but it took a considerable amount of time until rescue services from the Golan rescue unit could reach him due to the difficulties of the hiking trail. Rescue services received the initial call at 7:50 p.m. and the rescue was completed at 11 p.m.

The paramedics carried out the rescue in difficult conditions as they carried the unconscious bochur in the dark, guided by flashlights, from the hiking trail to an MDA ambulance, which in turn evacuated him to an MDA helicopter. The helicopter evacuated the bochur in critical condition to Ziv Hospital in Tzfat.

The family has requested that the public daven for the refuah of Pinchas Menachem ben Dalia b’toch sha’ar cholei Yisrael.

Bennett Caves Under US Pressure and Halts approval process for new building projects

 

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has apparently stopped the approval process for construction projects in Judea and Samaria because of American pressure, Israel Hayom has learned.

According to Israel Hayom's reporting, Bennett has refused to let the Civil Administration Zoning Committee schedule a routine meeting for the approval of construction plans.

This has gone on for over a month, the sources said. The sources, which are affiliated with the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, alleged that this amounts to a de facto construction moratorium because no new plans can go forward without the committee's go-ahead. "This is tantamount to complete capitulation to US dictates," the sources claimed.

The committee, which is under the auspices of the Defense Ministry and is tasked with overseeing construction beyond the Green Line, normally reviews new construction plans every three months, including various infrastructure projects.

These plans are essential for the overall development of the communities, as they pertain to access roads and big projects as well.

The previous government, under then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was supposed to set a date for a meeting of the committee, but Defense Minister Benny Gantz prevented it from doing so, insisting only the new government should do so.

Though Bennett has been in power for over a month, no date has been set, this time due to American pressure.

Rav Menashe Tzvi Winkler Who Saw The Choeftz Chaim, Learned in Baranovitch, Kaminetz, And The Mir Passes on

We regret to inform you of the Petira of HaRav Menashe Tzvi Winkler ZT”L. He was around 103 years old. He was Niftar on Tuesday where he lived in Lakewood, NJ.

The Niftar was one of the last people alive to have seen the Chofetz Chaim, learned in the Mir in Poland, in Baranovitch under Reb Elchonon Wasserman HY”D, and in Kaminetz under Reb Boruch Ber Leibeowitz ZT”L.

Rav Menashe Tzvi Z”L was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and after the sudden passing of his father, he went to learn in Radin under the Chofetz Chaim. He arrived there three weeks before his Petira. He was Zoche to shake the Chofetz Chaim’s hand and receive a Bracha from him to succeed in shteiging in yeshivah with simchah, serve Hashem in good health, and merit arichus yamim.

He vividly would recall the Levaya of the Chofetz Chaim, which took place on the morning of the first day of Selichos.

He then went to learn in Baranovitch under Reb Elchonon Wasserman HY”D, followed by Kaminetz where he heard Shiurim from Reb Boruch Ber Liebowitz ZT”L and then went to the Mir in Poland, where he was friends with the late Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva, Hagaon HaRav Shmuel Berenbaum ZT”L, Hagaon HaRav Leib Bakst ZT”L (Rosh Yeshiva of Detroit) and other Yeshiva Bochrim who would later become Gedolei Olam.

Let self-haters Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield choke on their Woke

 

Woke Jews, so immersed in their self-hating need to gain acclaim outside their own community that they will boycott Jews — not Chinese torturers, not the world’s tyrants and dictators, just Jews in Judea and Samaria

You think Jews cannot be Jew-haters?

Does any serious, open-minded non-Woke American still really believe that Jews are all “in it together”? How foolish!

Even as Ilhan Omar is the worst Jew-hater in Congress, with salutatorian going to Rashida Tlaib and honorable mentions for New York’s Antisemite Of Color (AOC) and Betty McCollum of Minnesota, their champion in the U.S. Senate is Bernie Sanders. He endorses them when they seek election, and they endorse him. They all are as one, in it together. They are the epicenter of Israel-hatred and Jew-hatred in Congress.

But Bernie Sanders is Jewish, isn’t he? How can a Jew line up in bed with outright, unashamed, uninhibited Jew-haters? Does that make any sense?

Yes, it does.

Read my “tag line” to recognize my qualifications to write this: 

There is a deep, intense Jewish social sickness that afflicts perhaps one quarter of all Jews in the contemporary West. Some call it “self-hate.” Some have other names for it. A good word for it is “apostasy.” These apostates share a common psychological sickness that always backfires on them: they believe that, if they turn against “the Jews,” then others in their Left universes — whether they be liberal or “progressive” or socialist or communist or just plan Woke — will welcome them as fellow travelers.

It never works for the long term. It always comes back to bite them bad.

Frum Women Question Portrayal of Community in Netflix Series ‘My Unorthodox Life’

 

A new Netflix reality series about a woman who left an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community is facing backlash from some Jewish women who have taken offense to the show’s portrayal of Orthodox Judaism.

The nine-episode first season of “My Unorthodox Life,” which premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, is about self-made fashion mogul Julia Haart — the CEO of the international talent agency Elite World Group — and her four children, who include a non-religious bisexual app creator and a Shabbat-observant Instagram influencer and TikToker. Six years ago, Haart (formerly Talia Hendler) left her strictly Orthodox lifestyle in Monsey, New York, and moved to New York City, where she has since remarried.

Now non-religious, she discusses in the show a confining and restrictive experience in her former lifestyle, which she dismisses as Jewish “fundamentalism.” While she tells her children to choose their own relationship with the Jewish culture, she also criticizes many aspects of Judaism throughout the show, calls the Orthodox Jewish community “dangerous” and describes her youngest son’s religious behavior as “super loony.”

A number of Jewish women have criticized that portrayal, forming a social media campaign called “#MyOrthodoxLife” in which they describe their contentment with living a religious Jewish lifestyle.

“Hey Netflix — wanna try for some balance instead of constantly smearing an entire community?!” said dating coach Devorah Rose Kigel, who grew up as a secular atheist Jew and is now Orthodox. “What about those of us who are Orthodox-by-choice? Wouldn’t that make an interesting show? … If you want to know about us, ask us. Talk to us. Don’t watch some prejudiced, fabricated reality show and think you know what’s up.”
