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

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.
