The Rosh Yeshivah from Hell

 

In this week's Ami Magazine issued on August 11, a broken mother tells a horror story of how a popular Rosh Yeshivah lied and manipulated her, her husband and her 15 year old son.

In Chassidishe Yeshivos this would never have happened, since the bochrum who graduate elementary school continue their learning in the same Yeshiva for High School.  If a Chassidishe parent feels that the yeshiva is not a good fit for his child he will try to find him another unaffiliated place, but he can rest assured that his child has a place in the yeshiva he attended, if he wishes to continue.

If you are not Chassidish, but you are more or less Yeshivash, you are up the creek without a paddle.

You have to start searching for a Mesivta or a yeshiva gedoilah that would take your child in, and it's a bloody nightmare, especially if you have no money and no connections.

Did Lakewood Railroad R" Itche Meir Greenwald the Caterer?


 

Greenwald Caterers located in Lakewood, New Jersey started his catering operation in the kitchen of the Lakewood Cheder. The Cheder administration insisted that he be kosher certified by BMG’s KCL Hashgocha. Mr. Isaac Greenwald spoke to the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva that when he opens his own commissary for the tri-State catering operation, he does not want to use the KCL, they agreed that he could take whomever he wants.

Greenwald Caterers opened his large catering commissary in Lakewood, and he took Rabbi Gornish from Brooklyn, New York, as he was an established Hashgocha for some large caterers in the Metro New York area.

BMG’s KCL started  a vicious campaign against Greenwald caterers to take the KCL. The Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva told Isaac Greenwald, “we know we told you that you don’t have to take the KCL for your hashgocha for your commissary, we changed our mind and you have to take the KCL, otherwise we will publicize that we will not eat from your catering establishment“.

Greenwald Caterers was forced to succumb to the threats and took the KCL and dropped Rabbi Gornish’s Hashgocha.

What is puzzling: at every affair, wedding, convention, etc. the Roshei Yeshiva attend and eat without even knowing if the caterer or Hashgocha are reliable; Yet by Greenwald, they will publicize that they don’t trust him because he does not use the KCL. A wake-up call?

Recently, at a Shabbos simcha catered by Greenwald, BMG’s KCL did not even send a mashgiach (Note: their mashgichim, often are not qualified). The host complained to one of the KCL Rabbonim, how come KCL did not have a mashgiach at my Shabbos affair? The KCL Rabbi got very upset on the host “one more complaint about the KCL the greatest Hashgocha, and we will remove our Hashgocha from Greenwald caterers”.

By the way, BMG’s KCL will never remove their hashgocha from anyplace, as long as they pay their fees and the additional “baksheesh”. BMG’s KCL has been milking heavy fees from Greenwald caterers among other certified establishments for the longest period of time. Isaac Greenwald is deathly afraid to get rid of BMG’s KCL, as the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva will force him to close up.

Over 160 future lone soldiers arrive in Israel with Nefesh B'Nefesh

 

A dozen future lone soldiers were among the olim who landed in Israel this week as  part of a Nefesh B'Nefesh flight, in cooperation with the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, The Jewish Agency for Israel, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael, JNF-USA and Tzofim-Garin Tzabar.

Some 160 lone soldiers from North America are making aliyah this summer, with approximately 300 expected to arrive by the end of 2021, the organization said.

"It is remarkable to see, that despite the obstacles and challenges over the last year and a half, these young men and women bravely pick up their lives and leave their families in order to contribute to the Jewish State," said Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, executive director of Nefesh B'Nefesh. "These future Lone Soldiers instill in all of us a huge sense of pride and embody the essence of Zionism by choosing to protect and serve the State of Israel."

Biden blowing America's reputation as world watches the Taliban's sick slaughter rampage

 

Afghan citizens face executions, forced marriages and other possible war crimes as the Taliban sweeps across the country, wrestling control from ineffective government forces as the U.S. troop withdrawal nears, according to U.S. officials and watchdog groups.

The militants have seized territory at an alarming rate while Afghan government troops and their allied militias fail to put up an effective resistance – surrendering at times without even putting up a fight.

The U.S. embassy in Kabul said Wednesday that it was receiving reports that Taliban members were executing surrendering Afghan troops and unlawfully detaining some members of the government, including military leaders, provincial officials and police officers.

The executions "could constitute war crimes," the embassy tweeted.


A Taliban spokesman denied that the group was executing prisoners to the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, even as witness accounts contradicted that claim. The Taliban has also denied allegations that its militants have demanded conquered territories provide them with females aged 15 and older as brides.

"The Taliban’s statements in Doha do not resemble their actions in Badakhshan, Ghazni, Helmand & Kandahar," Ross Wilson, the U.S. chargé d’affaires in Kabul, wrote on Twitter, referencing stalled peace talks going on in the capital of Qatar. "Attempts to monopolize power through violence, fear, & war will only lead to international isolation."

Biden Begging Taliban Terrorists To Spare U.S. Embassy In Kabul

 

Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly pleading with Taliban terrorists to spare the U.S. Embassy in Kabul as the the extremist group has rapidly regained control of the majority of Afghanistan.

“American negotiators are trying to extract assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the U.S. Embassy in Kabul if the extremist group takes over the country’s government and ever wants to receive foreign aid,” The New York Times reported. “The effort, led by Zalmay Khalilzad, the chief American envoy in talks with the Taliban, seeks to stave off a full evacuation of the embassy as they rapidly seize cities across Afghanistan.”

The news comes as the Taliban seized Kandahar and Herat on Thursday, two of the largest cities in Afghanistan. The Taliban now controls 12 of Afghanistan’s 34 provincial capitals, an estimated two-thirds of the country, and has cut off a critical highway linking Kabul to the nation’s southern provinces. U.S. officials suggest that Kabul could fall to the terrorists in a matter of weeks.


Convicted conman sues his NYC victims — and wins $12M

 

A convicted thief has successfully sued a family for more than $12 million — after robbing them of $1 million, his victims claim.

The Queens conman — who raked in more than $1 million by swiping the IDs of six unsuspecting family members more than a decade ago — could now walk away with an even bigger pile of cash after convincing a Manhattan jury that his victims were to blame for his criminal conviction, according to court records.

The victims claim they had no idea the lawsuit filed against them by ex-con Jacob Milton had gone to trial, until getting an Aug. 5 letter telling them they owed him a whopping $12.5 million.

“How can victims of his fraud ‘repay’ him this amount when their financial lives are still hurt by this?” said Kate Alvarez, a family member of one of the victims.

Milton, 55, was a Queens mortgage broker who pleaded guilty to grand larceny and served three years behind bars.

He was accused of taking out hefty mortgages and running up huge credit card bills on behalf of more than half a dozen unsuspecting victims in the 2007 scheme, six of whom are related. In 2010, Milton was sentenced to two to six years in prison, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.

About a year after Milton got his freedom back, he lodged a $50 million lawsuit against the people he stole from — claiming they’d wrongly accused him, court documents show.

The family — Mayra Macias, Juan C. Alvarez, Juan B. Alvarez, Lorena Alvarez, Martha Viteri and Hector Sandoval — initially hired lawyer Noah Goldstein to fight the case.

But when Goldstein later dropped out of the case, they failed to hire a new lawyer or respond to orders from the judge directing them to appear at court.

“The family said they had no idea a trial was scheduled and held, and a judgment awarded until last week,” said Goldstein, who has reconnected with the family. “The jury, seeing an empty defendant’s chair, probably [thought] they [were] supposed to believe Milton and give him what he wants.”

Milton’s lawyer, John DeMaio, told the court in 2017 he’d mailed the victims various documents alerting them to the proceedings as the case dragged on, legal papers show.

“I have no reason to believe Defendants will ever appear,” he wrote in one 2018 filing.

The case landed in front of a jury in Justice Doris Ling-Cohan’s courtroom in March 2019.

Alvarez insisted that “no letter was ever received stating any court date or document saying they had to show up or else. Instead they receive this first letter stating he won his case and [they] have to pay 12 million.”

The victims can go back to court and try to wipe out the judgment, or appeal, said Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration.

Milton, a Bangladeshi immigrant with a bombastic personality who once had a public access television show in Queens called “We Are The People With Jacob Milton,” has maintained his innocence despite his guilty plea.

Reached for comment, Milton claimed to The Post that the prosecutors who handled his case misrepresented evidence, and repeated his allegations that his victims in the criminal case had falsely accused him.

Goldstein told The Post he is expected to meet with them Monday. The victims declined comment to The Post.

In Ponovitz the New Zman Opened Up "In Full Swing" Learning Mesectas "Makkos"

 

Why people keep sending their children to this swamp, I'll never ever know. 

There are two camps in this Bais Hamedrish that sports a beautiful golden Aron Kodesh. 

One group follow Rav Kahanaman, and the other group consist of the "Auerbach Terrorists" headed by a guy named Harav Hatzaddik Hagoen Markowitz Shlita who issued a fatwa against his opponents giving them a signal to let loose and they beat the crap out of Rav Kahanaman's son.

It used to be when someone heard the word "Ellul" in Yeshivois the talmidim would shiver from fright worrying about the upcoming "Yom Ha'din" 

But now when the talmidim in Ponovitz hear the word "Ellul" they shiver from fright wondering when someone will beat the living daylights out of them.

On the other hand, there is a silver lining; because since they are busy bashing each other,  they are off the streets and not protesting and blocking traffic.

Viznitz Chassidim Falsify "Green Covid Passport" Get Caught and Yell "Zionist Rashuim"


 Those of who learned in  Chareidie Mosdois are not surprised by this huge Chillul Hashem, as we remember how the Yeshivos would regularly rip off the government with their false  "Lunch Programs"  the "Summer Youth Programs" and then recently when the government gave away free computers to every single child, and the "Moisdois" took millions of dollars and never bought the computers. We remember The College Programs where the "moisdois" registered  as "colleges" and then took in millions in grant money and didn't teach the required courses. etc etc.

But this latest massive fraud took things to a new level. 

The Monsey Visnitzer Rebbe's son took 21 of his Tzaddikim to the Zionist State of Israel for a visit, and instead of going thru the normal channels of getting vaccinated they forged "Vaccination Green Passports" and got caught at Ben Gurion airport. 

What is interesting is, that Israel has no requirement of being vaccinated in order to enter, if you are not vaccinated you must take a rapid covid test prior to the flight and if you test negative then you can enter Israel. There are of course other restrictions, which have nothing to do with Covid itself.

So they could have all entered Israel with this covid test but instead, feeling entitlement, and believing that Zionists are a bunch of fools they decided to try to beat the system. We who went thru the Chareidie School system are very familiar with these antics.

When they got caught, they started screaming "SHMAD" "SHMAD" which just shows that these Visnitzers are a bunch of hypocrites. We all know that Visnitz takes money from the medina, but now they are screaming that they were set up by the Zionists.

Now the leader of this gang of 22 "tzadikim" is the Vizniter Rebbe's son who will after 120 years of his father's reign, take over as rebbe.

This will be the role model of the future Visnitzer Chassidus,
