"Chilitzah" in Boro Park ... Hundreds attend

 

Am I missing something? Aren't there mitzvois done in private? The reporter in the clip asks this question, the guest being interviewed answers that if the pair are ok with it, then she sees no problem!

I have. a lot to comment about certain mitzvois done in private and what if the couple doesn't mind people watching?

I know that this ceremony needs a minyan, but hundreds? Little children?

Vaccine Mandate on New York Yeshivas Begins Today

 

Today is the day. Mayor Bill deBlasio’s tyrannical vaccine mandate on yeshivas and other private schools officially began on Monday.

All Rebbeim, teachers, administrators, office staff, and other employees of yeshivas throughout the five boroughs are legally required to be vaccinated, at least one dose, or stay home.

It is not clear whether yeshivos are planning to enforce the mandate, or whether the city is going to crack down if they do not comply. Private schools are officially required to submit proof of compliance by December 28th, and if they don’t, they may face penalties.

Meanwhile, in a few days, Eric Adams will take over as mayor. He has been extremely vague about whether he plans to enforce the mandate, or even keep it intact.

Many are outraged that the unpopular lame-duck deBlasio instituted such a broad sweeping mandate with just a few days left as mayor. Some have speculated that this was deBlasio’s way of sticking it to Adams, and placing him in a tough spot to begin his term.

In the meantime, thousands of Rebbeim, teachers, and administrators will need to wait and see how this plays out.

In total, the mandate affects about 56,000 employees at 930 schools.

Illinois tells Ben & Jerry’s to go to hell and will Divest this week

 The state of Illinois is expected to divest its pension funds of investments in Unilever this coming Wednesday, JNS has learned.

This looming decision in Illinois marks the latest domino to fall as the global conglomerate continues to come under fire after ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry’s, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever, publicly announced in July that it intended to cease distributing its products in areas it deemed “occupied Palestinian territory.”

The Illinois Investment Policy Board (IIPB) is scheduled to vote on the matter at its regular meeting on Wednesday morning in Chicago. Multiple sources told JNS that a majority vote to divest is assured, barring a change in Unilever’s posture. The board will also consider taking action in another, perhaps more consequential matter related to the Israel boycott movement, involving the financial services firm Morningstar and its subsidiary, Sustainalytics. JNS has also learned that American Muslims for Palestine organization is attempting to organize a large-scale protest and potential disruption of the public meeting.

Now Anti-Vaxxers Harass HaRav Chaim’s Daughter

 

Anti-vaxxer women came to the kabalas kahal of  HaRav Chaim Kanievsky’s daughter, Rebbetzin Leah Koledetsky, and called her a “murderer” and other derogatory terms and said they won’t leave until the Rebbetzin convinces HaRav Chaim to issue an anti-vaccine statement,  Kikar H’Shabbat reported.

Many members of the Kanievsky family have been subject to harassment and abuse by anti-vaxxers in recent weeks.

“A few women came in, one of them brought me a stack of medical records, claiming that she took care of children with COVID and saved them without vaccines,” Rebbetzin Koledetsky told a friend.

“She asked how we recommend vaccines, claiming that the vaccine kills people. She told me that I’m a murderer and insisted that in middle of kabalas kahal I should leave everything and go speak to the Rav. They wanted me to go upstairs, tell the Rav all the stories and show him the medical records and convince him to make a statement against vaccines. She threatened that she won’t move until I go to the Rav. I told her that I’ll call the police but she responded that she won’t move even if I call the police. I, of course, told her that I’m not going up to the Rav and the Rav isn’t feeling well right now and therefore isn’t dealing with this topic right now.”

Israel adds US to no-fly list for the first time

 

Israel’s cabinet voted on Monday to add the U.S. and Canada to a rapidly growing “red list” of countries to which Israelis are banned from traveling, over fears of the spread of the Omicron variant in those destinations.

Israelis wishing to fly to countries on the list must receive permission from an exceptions committee, typically for humanitarian purposes.

With a maximally restrictive blanket ban on foreigners already in place, the ban primarily affects Israeli citizens returning from red list destinations.

Regardless of vaccination or recovery status, Israelis flying to the Jewish State from red list countries will be forced to isolate in state-run quarantine hotels.
