Not Tzneedik Bobov Mitzvah Tanz ...
If this was a modern wedding and the Chassan was dancing with the Kallah with hundreds of men standing around clapping and ogling her, and the modern rabbi running circles around them, every one would be screaming "preetzes, not tzneesdik" but if they are chassidim doing it with the Rebbe running around with his fancy bathrobe then of course its ok~ because this is a "Holy minhag"

Ancient Treasure Found at Sea: 2 shipwrecks discovered off Israel's coast near Caesarea
A number of fascinating artifacts from the wrecks of two ships that foundered off the coast of Caesarea in the Roman and Mamluk periods (some 1700 and 600 years ago) have been discovered in recent months near Caesarea, during an underwater survey conducted by the Marine Archaeology Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The ships’ cargoes and the remains of their wrecked hulls were found scattered in shallow water at a depth of about 4 m, scattered on the sea floor.
According to Jacob Sharvit and Dror Planer of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Marine Archaeology Unit, “The ships were probably anchored nearby and were wrecked by a storm. They may have been anchored offshore after getting into difficulty, or fearing stormy weather, because sailors know well that mooring in shallow, open water outside of a port is dangerous and prone to disaster.”

Listen to Lakewood Boy , son of Menachem Mozes, Scream Profanities and threating an other Jew
The Kid barking profanities and threating to get a knife and stones is none other than the son of Menachem Mozes the principal of Yeshivas Torahs Aharon and grandchild of Shlomo Chaim Kanarek. Owner and operator of several schools in Lakewood NJ.
They are upset with a neighbor who is fighting the "Vaad" and put up an "eirav" among other things without permission of the Lakewood kapos!
Blimi Marcus A Nurse Fights Anti-Vaxxers with 140-Page Rebuttal
Did you get the P.I.E. Magazine my organization wrote?

We go through lie after lie produced by the Jewish anti-vax Peach Magazine (that triggered the measles outbreak) and we refute them line by line - with references - for 144 pages.
Happy reading & vaccinating! pic.twitter.com/HqdwVG2Yq4
A detailed rebuttal to the anti-vaxxers claims has come from a group of Orthodox nurses called Emes, Hebrew for “truth.” Emes was an active advocate for vaccines during the measles outbreak; its own pamphlet is cheekily called PIE, short for Parents Informed and Educated, and clocks in at 144 pages. It offers basic, fact-based information on vaccines and their benefits.
But there’s one disease it doesn’t address: COVID-19. Blima Marcus, the president of Emes who has a doctorate in nursing, said the material for PIE was actually assembled before the pandemic. However, because Emes relied on healthcare workers who were slammed for the past 18 months and aren’t paid for their work with the organization, it was only published and distributed this month.

According to the agreement, the chairman of Shas will plead guilty to relatively minor tax offenses and in return will not be sentenced to actual imprisonment or community service.
Deri will be able to remain chairman of his party, but will have to resign from the Knesset.
He will also be able to run for the Knesset in the future and return to serve as an MK in the next Knesset.
