IDF Recovered 81 Of 98 Surfside Victims

 

Israel’s IDF National Rescue Unit recovered 81 of the 98 victims at the site of the collapsed Champlain Towers, The Palm Beach Post reported on Tuesday. The commander of the rescue unit, Lt. Col. Golan Vach, personally found 20 of the victims.

How did the unit accomplish this remarkable achievement? The Post reached out to Vach at his home in Beit Rimon in northern Israel to discover the unique knowledge the IDF team brought to the site.

Vach started at the beginning, saying that when his team arrived in Florida at 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 27, the morning of the fourth day of rescue efforts, they weren’t scheduled to begin work until noon but nevertheless they went straight to the site of the disaster.

“It’s like a race where most of the runners began a few seconds ahead and you are trying to catch them,” he said.

Half of Vach’s team immediately began seeking out the relatives of the missing to gather information as the precise details provided by the family members are crucial to rescue efforts.

The other half of the team went to the rubble where they found rescue workers digging in spots where the search dogs were barking. Vach said that according to his vast experience, rescuers need a “much wider methodology to try to evaluate where exactly people were buried in the site.”

Three Thugs Rip Shtreimel from Chasid's head and screamed at with anti-Semitic slurs in the Catskills

 

Three men have been arrested and charged with a hate crime after they attacked a Jewish man in Fleishmanns, New York.

New York State Police said that the anti-Semitic assault occurred July 24, shortly before 11 a.m. A Jewish man walking home from synagogue along Main Street in Fleishmanns, a village in New York’s Catskill Mountains, was accosted by a man who got out of a pickup truck and stole the victim’s shtreimel off his head.

The suspect returned to the pickup truck. He and its two passengers shouted anti-Semitic slurs at the victim and then drove away.

The three suspects have been charged with grand larceny in the third degree as a hate crime.

nvestigators were able to locate the victim’s shtreimel. Made of real fur, shtreimels can cost thousands of dollars.

The suspects were identified by police as Johann Diamond, 21, of Grand Gorge, New York, Korey Bush, 25, of Ashland, New York, and Wesley Eignor, 24, of Denver, New York.

Diamond was arrested on July 25, and Bush and Eignor were arrested on July 26. All three were arraigned and remanded to the Delaware County Jail on $5,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo released a statement regarding the hate crime.

"I'd like to commend the New York State Police on a prompt, successful investigation following a disturbing anti-Semitic hate crime that took place in Delaware County. It is unacceptable for a Jewish man walking from a synagogue on Sabbath to be singled out, have his shtreimel ripped from his head and be verbally attacked because of his religion,” said Cuomo.

"This is New York, one of the most diverse collection of people from around the globe, and we will continue to stand together, united in our commonalities, and call out these vile incidents of hate whenever they occur. We will use every tool at our disposable to weed this hatred out of our state and ensure that love will always win."

Asian mom attacked in subway by a Big Black Brute dies after brain surgery

 

The Brooklyn mom who tumbled down a flight of stairs during an attempted robbery at a Manhattan subway station earlier this month has died, police sources told The Post.

Than Htwe, 58, died Wednesday, one day after her family said on their GoFundMe page that she would not survive after undergoing brain surgery — and that they planned to donate her organs.

The page had raised more than $48,000 for the family before it was shut down this week.

“I just want to tell everyone who’s reading this to always cherish the moments you have with your mother,” her son, Kyaw Saw Hein, wrote on the fundraising site.

“Tell her ‘I love you’ or give her a hug and kiss because you never know what will happen,” he said. “Thank you for all the support.”

Htwe, of Brooklyn, was with her 22-year-old son on the way to a doctor’s appointment on July 17 when they were attacked from behind at the Broadway and Canal Q line station in Chinatown.

Their attacker — who remains on the loose — tried to grab Hein’s backpack as the pair climbed the stairs, and both he and his mom fell down the stairs as the brute ran off, police said. 

Htwe remained unconscious at the hospital and never recovered.

Uman: Special terminal for Hasidim In Israel & testing in Ukraine

 

Minister of Religions Matan Kahana and Minister of Health Nitzan Horowitz summarized the outline for the trips to Uman for Rosh Hashanah.

The outline that will be presented to the Corona Cabinet in the coming days has been formulated with broad agreement by Minister Kahana, in coordination with Breslov rabbis and activists and senior officials of the Ministry of Health. Minister Kahana will meet tomorrow with the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel and introduce him to the principles of the outline.

The ministers' guideline was that as long as Ukraine remains a green country, Hasidim would be allowed to travel to Uman, just like any trip to any other green country, according to the guidelines as they are today. The ministers stressed that there would be no discrimination among travelers abroad.

As part of the outline, it was decided to significantly reduce the number of special (charter) flights from Ben Gurion Airport to Ukraine. In addition, the Hasidim's flights will take off from Terminal 1 and the system of tests at Ben Gurion Airport will be reinforced in preparation for the Hasidim's return after Rosh Hashanah.

In addition, a system for tests will be set up in Kiev and Uman ahead of the return flight, under the responsibility of Breslov organizations. Each passenger will have to undergo three tests like any other traveler abroad. Unvaccinated and children under the age of 12 will be required to isolate for 14 days or for seven days with two negative tests.

Amrom Fromowitz from Monsey Killed in Airplane Crash in Ukraine With Two Other Bochrim

 

Horror unfolded on Wednesday morning, when word spread of an unthinkable tragedy which claimed the lives of three Yeshiva Bochrim.

 The three Bochrim, from Monsey, Williamsburg, and London, were part of a group of Bochrim from Mir Yerushalayim who were in Ukraine visiting Mekomos Hakedoshim. The Bochrim took a sightseeing plane ride in Western Ukraine on Wednesday afternoon, and for reasons still unknown, a horrific accident occurred when the plane went down in Prykarpattia, and crashed into a private house near the village of Sheparivtsi.

Sheparivtsi is near the border with Romania, Moldova, Slovakia and Hungary.

Misaskim in the United States were working with local authorities to ensure Kavod Hames.

The three Bochrim tragically killed in the plane crash were Amrom Fromowitz Z”L of Monsey, Hershy Weiss Z”L of London, and Lazer Brill Z”L of Williamsburg.

Additionally, local authorities are being extremely cooperative with Misaskim and are working on expediting their release from the crash scene to be able to be brought to Kevurah as fast as possible.

Unilever the Company that Manufactures Ben & Jerry's Also Makes Hellmann's Mayo

 

Are we giving up on Hellmann's Mayo too? 

For those people that don't eat Ben & Jerry because it's  "chalav akum, "not kosher milk," you now have an opportunity to do your share in the boycott!

In the DIN household we already stopped using this product, and we are using an Israeli brand and we see no substantial difference.

FYI, Mayo is very easy to make, you can make it at home fresh. 

the ingredients are, egg yolks, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and spices. 

The oil can be canola oil, sunflower oil, or light olive oil. 

Don't use Extra-virgin olive oil which has a strong flavor and may cause the Mayo to separate. 

The new motto for this boycott?

"Hold the mayo"

Good Luck!

The voice of Jackie Mason in The Simpsons - Rabbi Krustofski - Ethical Question

Mason was a regular on “The Simpsons” as the voice of Rabbi Krustofski, Krusty the Klown’s father. 

In this scene, he voices the character telling his son that comedy is an inappropriate career for someone in an observant Jewish community who comes from a distinguished line of rabbis — someone much like Mason himself.

Eric Adams declares war on the "Little Socialist" AOC

 

Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams declared his opposition to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist “movement” — which includes defunding the police and shuttering prisons — during a fundraiser co-hosted by a Republican member of the City Council, The Post has learned.

A video recording of Adams’ speech shows him telling supporters that the battle he faced wasn’t with his political rivals in the Nov. 2 election, but with the Democratic Socialists of America.

“I’m no longer running against candidates. I’m running against a movement. All across the country, the DSA socialists are mobilizing to stop Eric Adams,” he said.

“They realize that if I’m successful, we’re going to start the process of regaining control of our cities.”

The remarks sparked cheers and applause from attendees at the Monday night event in Douglaston, Queens.

Although Adams — a former NYPD captain whose campaign hinges on restoring public safety — didn’t mention Ocasio-Cortez (D-The Bronx, Queens) by name, the DSA openly acknowledges her as its “foremost socialist superstar.”

A page on its website — which shows Ocasio-Cortez marching with a raised fist — also says she “inspired up to 10,000 people to join” the nonprofit organization.

Adams’ speech came less than two weeks after a news conference at which he said he wanted to reclaim the mantle of “being progressive” from Democrats who “hijacked” it but “do not have a track record of putting in place real progressive changes.”

On Monday, Adams — a former state senator and Brooklyn’s outgoing borough president — told donors that he wanted to transcend partisan politics and that he was seeking votes from New Yorkers regardless of party affiliation.

“We’re not going to let parties get in the way of this party called New York City,” he said.
