Prominent COVID skeptic Dick Farrel who died of the virus will Have a Jewish Funeral
The Florida shock radio host and former Newsmax anchor who died of COVID-19 after spending months telling his followers not to get the vaccine was a Jewish man from Queens.
The Aug. 4 death of Dick Farrel, who was 65, has made global headlines because his friends said he urged them to get the vaccine after he fell ill. The private messaging was in stark contrast to his extensive public statements on the virus and vaccines.
On a Facebook page that has since been set to private, Farrel railed against coronavirus protocols, the Daily Beast reported, including U.S. government urgings to get the vaccine. He referred to the virus as a “scam demic” and masks as “face diapers.” He also promoted misinformation about the vaccines, saying that he knew people who got vaccinated and were hospitalized as a result.
Farrel’s death comes amid a surge of COVID-19 cases in the United States fueled by the more transmissible delta variant. Florida, which has few restrictions and a relatively low vaccination rate, has been especially hard hit.
Farrel’s real name was Farrel Austin Levitt. Born to Max and Norma Levitt in Queens, New York, in 1956, he graduated from Queens College before beginning his radio career in New York. A service will be held Friday at Beth Israel Boynton Beach Chapel, which first announced Farrel’s death, according to its website.
A host on multiple talk radio stations in Florida, Farrel was also a fill-in host for Newsmax, the conservative cable outlet that is a favorite of former President Donald Trump, although it is not clear if Farrel was employed at the time of his death. He is survived by his partner, Kitty Farley.
Birthright cancels all remaining summer trips to Israel
Birthright, the program that brings young Jews to Israel for free, is canceling its remaining 42 trips this summer because of new Israeli rules that require Americans arriving in Israel to quarantine for a week.
The tours last just 10 days — although participants may stay longer on their own — and most participants are American.
Participants whose trips are canceled may sign up for new trips, said Haaretz, which first reported the cancellation on Monday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says there is a “very high level” of COVID-19 in Israel, and that even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.
“We anticipate that the seven-day quarantine rule will be temporary, and we look forward to resuming trips as soon as possible,” the newspaper quoted a Birthright spokesman as saying.
Birthright resumed travel in May following a 14-month hiatus.

Gerrer Wedding Will Take Place At RCC Complex In Monsey
The first-ever chasunah in the court of Gur will take place on American shores, affording the chassidim in America to fully participate in this event of holiness and joy. Chassidim have already flocked in throngs to join the Rebbe for Rosh Chodesh davening on Sunday morning.
It has been originally been slated to take place at the Massive Bell Works venue, in Holmdel, New Jersey,
However, it became clear that Bell Works in New Jersey would be unable to accommodate the crowd.
This afternoon it was announced that the venue for the massive wedding has been changed to a Monsey locale, where the Rebbe has been staying.
The Rockland Community College Campus holds a massive arena that will be able to accommodate the massive crowd—both of American chassidim who will be participating, as well as the Chassidim from Eretz Yisroel who will be making their way here.
A separate venue for the children, called the “kinder tisch,” as well as the Kabbolas Panim, has been graciously hosted in the large Viznitz Monsey beis Medrash on Phyllis Terrace. The Chupah and the rest of the wedding will then take place on the RCC campus.
Israel Considering Banning Travel To US
Israel’s Health Ministry is considering adding the United States to the list of “red” countries to which travel is banned, Kan News reported on Monday morning.
According to a source involved in the issue, the possibility of banning travel to the US was raised in discussions in recent days but a decision had not yet been reached on the matter. The source added that the ban is being considered due to fear of the entry of new virus variants.
The US, among many other countries, was designated as an “orange” country [to go into effect on August 11] – under a severe travel warning – which means that travelers from those locations will have to enter full quarantine [14 days that can be shortened to 7 days with two negative COVID tests] even if vaccinated or recovered.
Following a meeting of the coronavirus cabinet on Sunday night, the Health Ministry published a list of new countries to which travel is banned, including Bulgaria, Brazil, Georgia, Mexico, Spain, and Turkey. The UK, South Africa, Russia, and several other countries are set to be removed from the banned list.
There are currently only 10 “yellow” countries that are considered low-risk and returning Israelis are only required to quarantine for 24 hours or until receiving a negative coronavirus result: Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, Hungary, Taiwan, Moldova, New Zealand, China, Singapore, and the Czech Republic. Only three of the ten countries allow entry to Israelis: Austria, Moldova and the Czech Republic.
This means that most countries in the world to which Israelis travel to, over 90, will be considered “orange” countries [to go into effect on Monday, August 16], and returning travelers will have to enter full quarantine even if vaccinated or recovered.

Blacks Continue Brutally Attacking Whites With Impunity
NEW: A 22-year-old freelance photographer visiting Seattle was brutally beaten unconscious & robbed in the Mount Baker neighborhood. Days later, he's still coughing up blood & incurring medical debt.

WARNING: the video is a tough watch. Read more below.https://t.co/l1SUtNzmgu pic.twitter.com/zgdkxeiFeH
A White 22-year-old freelance photographer was brutally attacked and beaten by a black stranger while on vacation to Seattle.
The victim, who goes by Caliber Visuals on social media, is still spitting up blood and getting severe headaches days later, he said.
The attack was caught on graphic surveillance video, and shows Caliber approached by a man in an orange shirt and black pants. The two seem to shake hands when the suspect doesn’t let go and throws Caliber to the ground. The suspect repeatedly kicks and stomps on Caliber’s head repeatedly before knocking him unconscious. The suspect then goes through Caliber’s pockets, taking his money and personal belongings before walking away, leaving Caliber immobile on the sidewalk.
Arab "Kanaim" Hurl Bomb on Gaza Beach Because of a "mixed concert"
Chareidie kanaim "extremists" are watching this report with great interest, since this is exactly what they would like to do, throw bombs at "family seating" concerts. I wonder what Arabs think of the "lace sheitlach?"
One of the Gaza Strip’s most luxurious seaside tourist sites has been attacked with an explosive device.
The attack at Bianco Resort, which took place last Thursday, came after the resort was accused by Muslim extremists of holding a mixed-gender concert, according to the Jerusalem Post’s Arab affairs reporter Khaled Abu Toameh.
No one was injured in the blast, but a wall surrounding the resort was damaged.
The Palestinian Association of Restaurants, Hotels and Tourism Services condemned the attack as “immoral”.
Palestinian Arab sources accused terrorists belonging to Salafi groups of being behind the attack.
While Hamas has ruled Gaza since 2007, it has been challenged by small hardline factions, some of them inspired by the Islamic State (ISIS), who say there should be a stricter interpretation of Islam. Some of these groups carried out sporadic rocket attacks into Israel.
Salafists in Gaza in particular have clashed with its Hamas rulers, challenging what they perceive is Hamas’s moderate interpretation of Islam.
In August of 2017, a suicide bomber allegedly linked to ISIS killed a Hamas guard in southern Gaza along the border with Egypt, in a rare attack against Hamas.
Hamas security forces later raided an outpost in Gaza belonging to the Popular Resistance Committees, which is close to the Salafist movement and affiliated with ISIS.
NYT reporter faces backlash over her lying comments about Obama "covid spreader" party
A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama's huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited "a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd" is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets.

What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated? https://t.co/9g8qGkYQEO
A New York Times reporter received backlash on social media after making a comment on another network that critics believe dismissed concerns about former President Obama’s star-studded maskless birthday party over the weekend.
New York Times White House Correspondent Annie Karni discussed the controversy surrounding Obama’s much-criticized Martha’s Vineyard celebration where he was seen not wearing a mask and used the term “sophisticated” crowd, saying that the guests were “following all the safety precautions.”
The clip sparked outrage on social media including from journalist Glenn Greenwald who wondered aloud why more people weren’t concerned about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus at Obama’s party.
“A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama’s huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited “a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd” is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets,” Greenwald tweeted. “What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated?”
“Of course viruses don’t attack sophisticated people, Muffy!” attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon tweeted.
“Someone really should inform Annie Karni what certain parts of Hollywood thinks of vaccines,” The Spectator contributor Stephen L. Miller tweeted.
Karni attempted to clarify the clip saying the word “sophisticated” was a direct quote from one of the residents she spoke to and that she was simply conveying the beliefs that some people on the island had.
“Watch the full clip,” Karni tweeted. “The Q was, what do people on the island think of the party? The A was me summarizing views of ppl I spoke with: some are upset, + others think the concerns about it are overblown. ‘Sophisticated crowd’ was from a quote in the story.”
Obama had said that his party, which was originally going to entertain over 500 people, was “scaled back” due to the spread of the delta variant. However, the president was widely panned on social media after images from the party surfaced showing a massive tent and photos of maskless attendees.
18 "Chutzpedika" Chareidi Brats Return To The US
As I predicted yesterday in a post, the girls returning would be turned into martyrs and made into celebrities. The facts are that they were "chutzpedik" and were thrown off not one but two different airlines.
Interestingly, they were not thrown off the last plane on their way back, and that was because they quickly learned to behave, something they weren't taught by the "heimishe" moisdois Ha'Torah!
I don't believe they were "singled out" and I don't believe that this was anti-Semitism; they were 'pashut" spoiled brats and caused anti-Semitism and a huge Chillul Hashem. This group of girls were not a group of 18, they were I believe over 40 in that group. You won't hear from those not thrown off, because if they speak up and reveal what really happened, they won't be able to do shidduchim, but these 18 brats will be quickly grabbed up. If they choose to file a lawsuit, I believe it will backfire as the airlines will not allow their lawyers to settle this.
Read how the "heimishe" press reported their return.,,,,,they leave out the fact that the brats were thrown off TWO different flights.
When they arrived at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport on Thursday evening, the girls were detained and told to pay a huge fine of $3000 after it was claimed that they had eaten food on their plane outside meal times in violation of COVID-19 guidelines. The girls had been forced to eat their own food outside the designated meal time because the flight did not carry food that complied with their community’s kosher standards.
At the same time, the Delta-KLM airline which they were travelling with singled them out for abusive treatment, harassing them for not wearing masks even as other passengers were not berated for similar violations. When they switched seats they were insulted by the flight attendants, who were described by relatives of the girls as “rude and impatient.” The girls claim that they were singled out from 50 other passengers due to the airline staff’s animosity towards Jews.
The group was later denied its request to board a later flight that would have still gotten them to New York before the start of Shabbat, when observant Jews are not allowed to travel by airplane. Eventually they were forced to fly to Antwerp where they were hosted by the local Jewish community.
On Sunday morning the group finally arrived in Newark airport and made their way to their homes. but the good news that they are bh back home and can finally unite with their anxiously waiting families that are looking out to see their daughters again!
