Sukkah collapses in Jerusalem's Mea She’arim neighborhood

 

They won't learn their lesson even if someone should get killed chas, ve'sholom. 

Last week police tried negotiating with the family of Rav Brandorfer's dangerous sukka, trying to convince them to take it apart warning them that someone will get hurt but the family refused to dismantle the sukka .

The police then came and dismantled the sukka to the shouts of "nazis" from the tzaddikim of Yerushalayim...

They should have led Rav Branddorfer and his rebbetzin out in handcuffs.

These are the same people that don't want a government investigation in the Meron tragedy.

Police warned the organizers in Meron for years that a tragedy was waiting to happen, but they refused to listen ..

A sukkah built at a height of two meters off the ground has collapsed in Mea She’arim, Jerusalem, an Israeli Police spokesperson confirmed Saturday night. 

Four people were injured - two women in their thirties, a two-year-old toddler and a five-year-old boy. 

Senator Schumer Releases Video that shows him cozying up with Vicious Anti-Semitic BDS Supporter

 

Democratic lawmaker Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) released a pro-union video on Tuesday that featured him together with Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani, who promotes the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), Washington Free Beacon reported.

“I rode with @NYTWA cabbie Richard Chow and ally to taxi workers @ZohranKMamdani to highlight the horrific medallion debt crisis and the need for better solutions from @NYCtaxi,” Schumer wrote in a Twitter post, introducing the video in support of the 25,000-member New York Taxi Workers Alliance.

“Mamdani supports various left-wing causes, including BDS and the movement to defund police departments. He has called BDS “a righteous movement for liberation” and has spoken out against U.S. aid to Israel,” WFB reported.

At a rally earlier this year, Mamdani blasted elected officials for accepting taxpayer-funded trips to Israel as well as those who march in pro-Israel parades.

“We ought to let them know that there are three letters that we have as an answer to what’s happening in Palestine, and it’s ‘BDS,'” Mamdani said at a May 12 rally.

Schumer has marched in the very parades that Mamdani has criticized.

WFB notes that Schumer co-sponsored legislation in March 2017 with Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) to protect state and local governments that cut ties with companies that boycott Israel.

According to WFB, in recent months Schumer has been courting the left wing ahead of next year’s primaries.

On a recent segment of ABC’s talk show “The View,” co-host Meghan McCain took Schumer to task for not reaching out to Joseph Borgen, who was brutally beaten in broad daylight in New York City, and instead remaining silent.

Occupation is profoundly evil.

Apartheid is profoundly evil.#BDS is a righteous movement for liberation, one supported by queer people & Jewish people & socialists & abolitionists & all those who know another world is possible.

That's called solidarity. It's profoundly good. https://t.co/uqTBlxBkQ0

We pay our electeds with our tax $$$ to represent us but they go on paid-for trips to Israel.

We have 3 letters for them: #BDS

Every elected must be pressured to stand with Palestinians, oppose Apartheid & assert that the fight for dignity knows no exception.#FreePalestine pic.twitter.com/xczCuhTnyn

Anti-Semitic Yente AOC Cries Because She Didn't Vote Against Iron Dome That stops Rockets from Killing Innocent Children

 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez apologized to her constituents Friday for her waffling “present” vote on the House bill that provides $1 billion in defense funding for Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile protection program.

She also claimed she became overcome with emotion during Thursday’s vote, saying, “Yes, I wept.”

“To those I have disappointed — I am deeply sorry. To those who believe this reasoning is insufficient or cowardice — I understand,” AOC said in an e-letter to “Our NY-14 Community” and posted on her Twitter account.

The House of Representatives passed a standalone bill to finance the Iron Dome 420-9 on Thursday, after a group of far-left lawmakers including AOC threatened to tank a short-term funding bill that included language to allocate funds toward Israel’s missile defense system, known as the Iron Dome.

Biden is eroding Trump’s Middle East peace pact — and endangering the US

 

Last week, Greece announced it would be sending US-made Patriot anti-missile batteries and soldiers to man them to Saudi Arabia, to replace US-manned Patriots the Biden administration withdrew in April. 

It was a momentous development in the rapidly changing geopolitical environment of the Middle East, and received zero coverage in the corporate media in the United States. When Greece steps up to fill the vacuum left by a US pullout, it gives you a measure of just how far the United States has retreated from the world stage over the past nine months. 

This is not the Greece of Alexander the Great, but today’s Greece. Nearly bankrupt just a few years ago, Greece has now replaced the United States as defender of the world’s largest oil producer. Ouch. 

Agudath Israel & Reform Judaism Form Alliance & Partnership

Following is a rebuttal by Yisrael Medad of claims by Reform Rabbi Eric Yoffie that allowing Jews to pray on the Temple Mount will ignite a holy war with the Muslim world. 

Yisrael Medad is a veteran Temple Mount ascender and activist, being among the earliest to ascend the Temple Mount following its liberation in the 1967 Six Day War. 

While we would not have found it justified to post Eric Yoffie's article on its own (lack of (merit), Yisrael Medad's rebuttal is brilliant and worth reading. - Temple Institute

THE AGUDAH AND REFORM JUDAISM JOIN FORCES

https://www.jns.org/opinion/the-agudah-and-reform-judaism-join-forces/

The Reform Rabbi Eric Yoffie and the haredi Rabbi Avi Shafran must confront their failings to history, human rights and the value of Judaism.

By Yisrael Medad

(September 17, 2021 / JNS) We have witnessed a remarkable development as a result of the publication of an article by Rabbi Meir Soloveitchik in Commentary titled “The Real Truth About the Temple Mount,” which suggested that “the government of Israel owes it to its citizens, and thousands of years of Jewish history, to state unequivocally that the Temple Mount, and not the Western Wall, is the locus of Jewish longing.” He also did express sympathy for those seeking to ascend to the Temple Mount, enclosed within the Muslim Haram A-Sharif compound, so that they could continue to pray in writing, “For those who care deeply about the Jewish connection to the Mount, and who desperately desire to pray there, it may well be that today it will be achieved first and foremost with finesse.”

For Soloveitchik, what is important is foremost “Jewish visits.”

The development? He caused the public-affairs director of Agudath Israel of America, Rabbi Avi Shafran, to unite in common cause against Rabbi Soloveitchik’s views with Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president emeritus of the Union for Reform Judaism. A true “only Jewish” accomplishment.

Mount Sinai's New Sukka Regulations

 

What put the fear into Israel's radical Left?

 

Just a week ago, all of Israel's political establishment was in an uproar over a debate in the finance committee on a topic that would normally be totally technical and utterly devoid of interest: the reauthorization of eligibility for Clause 46 in Israel's tax laws which grants tax benefits for donations to a long list of NGOs, among them "Ad Kan! Young Israelis for Israel" (an organization the first two words of whose name is an idiom meaning 'enough is enough').

During the discussion, a previously unknown Member of Knesset from the Labor Party accused my organization of "trying to criminalize leftist activists by forging documents" and of "leading a hunting expedition armed with lies and dubbed soundtracks." Her stance led to the non-renewal of the eligibility of donations to "Ad Kan" for tax benefits of Israeli donors' income tax.

What the previously unknown MK said was unadulterated nonsense, and we hereby request that she give up her Knesset immunity long enough to be forced to defend her accusations in court – or, alternately, to apologize and return to her colorless anonymity.

But what is the reason the anti-Zionist Left is so afraid of "Ad Kan"? We have the feeling that they are simply afraid that you as well as others will learn the real truth.

"We're dedicated to elimination of Zionism" ...NOOOOO It's not a Statement of Satmar Rebbe It's the Iranian FM

 

I don't think that the FM of Iran heard the Satmar Rebbe's Shalosh Seuda Toreleh ... but it sure sounds like he did...

Both Satmar Rebbe brothers are against Zionism and daven three times a day for the "elimination of Zionism" and are against the "territories"

Iran’s new Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, spoke at the United Nations Durban IV conference, where he said his nation’s "willpower is dedicated" to the elimination of Zionism, Fox News reported.

"As the new foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, I’m honored to announce that my nation’s willpower is dedicated to the total elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, including apartheid and Zionism," said Amir-Abdollahian, according to the report.

"These are crimes that constitute horrible atrocities such as child killing and the creeping occupation through settlements, which extends to the proximity of Al-Aqsa Mosque," he added

The Durban IV conference was boycotted by some 30 countries, including Israel, the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and New Zealand.

On Sunday, Human Rights Voices, Touro Institute on Human Rights and CAMERA hosted a conference opposing Durban IV.

Ahead of the event, pro-Israel groups and NGOs also launched social media campaigns calling on countries to refuse to attend.

Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices who organized the counter-conference, told Fox News, "For the enemies of Israel who had high hopes that Durban IV would fast track Israel to political isolation and oblivion, the global gathering was instead a major setback. Not only did 34 states boycott, but they boycotted because the demonization of Israel was recognized as a form of modern antisemitism."

She noted that 75% of the countries speaking at the conference were deemed "not fully free" according to the definition by Freedom House that ranks countries based on freedom, and noted that "Durban IV proved to be an opportunity for the Iranian Foreign Minister to broadcast over UN WebTV around the world a call for the "elimination" of the Jewish state. In effect, backing another mass genocide for the one they claim never happened. And yet in the 21st century UN, it was just business as usual and nobody interrupted, cut the mic, or escorted him off the premises."

Ben & Jerry fired David Rosenbaum for taking off during Rosh Hashanah

 

That’s cold.

A Jewish man says he was fired from Unilever — the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s that was criticized for an ice cream sales ban in the West Bank — for taking days off from work during Rosh Hashanah, new court papers allege.

David Rosenbaum — a general manager at Unilever’s Englewood Cliffs, NJ headquarters — told boss Frank Alfano he planned to take days off for the Jewish high holy days in the fall of 2019, according to his Bergen County lawsuit from Thursday.

But, Alfano “told [Rosenbaum] that he could not take off for Rosh Hashanah and probably not for Yom Kippur as well,” the court papers allege.

A “distressed” Rosenbaum, 55, told Alfano that his religion required him to not work on those days. But, the boss wouldn’t budge, the filing claims.

Rosenbaum, of Washington Township, took the time off anyway and sent an email to the higher-ups on Sept. 30, 2019 — the first day of Rosh Hashanah — explaining what Alfano told him and how it was against the law. The Unilever lawyer merely replied saying she would speak with Human Resources, the suit claims.

The next day on Oct. 1, Rosenbaum was fired over the phone, “since he had not come into work on Rosh Hashanah,” the court documents allege.

In a prior incident, Alfano retaliated against Rosenbaum for an August 2019 complaint Rosenbaum made after Alfano allegedly touched him, propositioned him and asked Rosenbaum to lend him money,” the filing claims.

Rosenbaum — who also worked with Ben & Jerry’s marketing team to organize sales events — alleged his situation is “further evidence of Unilever’s anti-Semitism, which was demonstrated in July 2021, when Unilever’s subsidiary, Ben & Jerry’s, began an illegal boycott of Israel by refusing to sell its ice cream there,” the suit claims.

“This despite the fact that it continues to sell ice cream in some of the most repressive countries in the world,” the court papers allege.

In July, Ben & Jerry’s stopped selling ice cream in the West Bank saying in a statement: “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).”

The move drew criticism and was called anti-Semitic by Israelis including Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and ousted PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Since, a still-unemployed Rosenbaum has had a hard time finding a new job during the pandemic, his lawyer Cindy Salvo told The Post.

Salvo said it’s bad enough that Alfano didn’t let her client take the time off but it’s even worse that upper level management “didn’t try to do anything. They didn’t engage in any interactive process,” following Rosenbaum’s email.

He simply can’t work,” Salvo said. “It’s against the religion.”

“It’s not like they have no other people to handle things,” the lawyer said. “They didn’t give an explanation and if they had — it wouldn’t have been adequate anyway.”

Through his lawyer, Rosenbaum said, he is “Shocked, surprised and deeply saddened that this could happen in this day and age.”

Rosenbaum is suing for unspecified damages.

Unilever and Alfano did not immediately return requests for comment.

US House Overwhelmingly 420-9 Advances Iron Dome Funding, As Anti-Semite Tlaib Calls Israel “Apartheid State”

 Nine House members, including eight Democrats, voted against funding for the Israel Iron Dome missile defense system on Thursday.

The bill passed overwhelmingly 420-9.

The “no” votes were Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; Cori Bush, D-Mo.; André Carson, D-Ind.; Marie Newman, D-Ill., Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz.; Chuy Garcia, D-Ill.; and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Hank Johnson, D-Ga., both voted present.

IN the video above, AOC appears to be crying on the House floor after she changed her vote from “no” to present, during voting on funding to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome Defense Systems.

Congressional Democrats initially wanted to pass the Iron Dome funding in a continuing resolution on Wednesday. But because the legislation contained a debt ceiling increase Republicans refused to vote for it. That left Democrats with just a three-vote margin for error. When a handful of progressive lawmakers objected to the Iron Dome funding, Democrats were forced to pull the provision from the bill in order to ensure its passage along party lines.
