The Eggs That Went Viral In Israel
Hundreds of thousands of Daf Yofi lomdim will soon complete Maseches Beitza and begin the next Masechta.
In honor of the occasion, the Kedumim farm in the Shomron did something unique, they printed the words: “Hadran Alach Maseches Beitza – Chizku V’Imtzu” – From the chicken coops of Kedumim.
In an interview with Kol-Barama Radio, the farm’s manager Tal Gilboa said: “We truly rejoice with Am Yisrael and want to be mechazeik Am Yisrael and lomdei Torah. Our goal wasn’t to promote our business but to bring happiness to lomdei HaDaf Hayomi.”
Gilboa added that someone even called him from New York and asked for eggs.

Moshichistin saying "lechayim" to the Rebbe
At 0.39 a little girl is actually trying to get some wine from the Rebbe, but he refuses so she tries getting it from the guy with the full wine flask, but he ignores her just like the rebbe did.
Are the Schnoor Ads Like “Yocheved has kidney disease” & “Yossi needs heart surgery” Fake? And How much $$$ goes to the Needy?? About Zero to 4%
‘The industry behind “Yocheved has kidney disease” & “Yossi needs heart surgery” is a murky one, peopled with activists, journalists & broadcasters who milk charities & divide loot among themselves. At best, the remaining crumbs go to the needy.’ https://t.co/Q4mbPQVRm5

Yellen defends IRS rule requiring banks to report all transactions over $600
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is defending a Biden administration proposal that would require banks to report data to the Internal Revenue Service on transactions over $600, calling the collection of information “routine,” after taking heat for the idea that is widely seen as an unprecedented invasion of privacy.
During an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday, Yellen was pressed on whether the IRS has the “wherewithal” to collect more information about taxpayers and bank accounts including cash flows, something many Republicans have called invasive.
“Well, of course they do,” Yellen said. “Right now, on every bank account that earns more than $10 a year in interest, the banks report the interest earned to the IRS. That’s part of the information base that includes W2’s and reports on dividends in other income that taxpayers earned. So collection of information is routine.”
Yellen cited the “enormous tax gap” in the US as the reason behind the proposed tax hikes and information collecting, blaming the gap on places where information on income “can be hidden.”
“It’s just a few pieces of information about individual bank accounts, nothing at the transaction level that would violate privacy,” the secretary said.
Brian Laundrie used Gabby Petito’s bank card three days after she vanished
Brian Laundrie used Gabby Petito’s bank card in Wyoming just three days after the slain 22-year-old Long Island native was last seen alive, her family’s lawyer said Tuesday.
Petito was last spotted at a Wyoming restaurant on Aug 27, while Laundrie, 23, returned home alone in her van on Sept. 1 — and the boyfriend has since gone on the run from the feds.
“You can look at his state of mind by his actions,” Petito family attorney Richard Stafford said on the Dr. Phil show on CBS-TV.
“He ran, he stole her credit card, he used her credit card to get home, and then ran from the police,” Stafford said. “That’s going to show a lot what he was thinking back then.”
Federal authorities in Wyoming issued an arrest warrant for Laundrie on Sept. 23 for allegedly using a stolen card “on or about August 30, 2021, through and including on or about September 1, 2021” and “obtained things of value aggregating to $1,000 or more.”
The Blue Point native’s body was found at a campground at the Teton-Bridges National Forest in Wyoming, with her death classified as a homicide.
Laundrie lawyered up and refused to talk to authorities after he turned home without her on Sept. 1 and later disappeared from his parents’ Florida home.
The fugitive’s parents told police he went on a hike on Sept. 14 at the nearby Carlton Reserve and never returned.
On Tuesday, Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said in a statement that “upon further communication with the FBI” they “now believe” that Laundrie left the house a day earlier, on Sept. 13.
Laundrie is the only person of interest in Petito’s disappearance and death and is now the subject of a massive FBI-led manhunt.
Petito was last seen alive with Laundrie on Aug. 27 at the Merry Piglets restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where witnesses said Laundrie flipped out at the staff.
