Ephraim Rom a 22 Year old missing since Monday found dead near Amirim

 

Just prior to Shabbat, searchers who had been looking since Monday for 22-year-old Efraim Nachum Rom from Jerusalem found his body near Moshav Amirim in the Upper Galilee.

Rom, who had studied at the Knesset Yisrael-Hadera yeshiva, had been visiting the tomb of Rashbi last weekend and on Monday called his mother and told her that he wanted to check a new yeshiva in Yavniel which could suit him. His mother asked him to return to Jerusalem to discuss the matter with her. He said that he did not have money to return and that the weather was very stormy but added that he would try to make it back. From this point the family did not hear from him and, fearing the worst, contacted police to search for him.

Mnay volunteers participated in the efforts to find him, including yeshiva students from around the country who scoured the region near Meron where he had last been seen. On Friday police succeeded in locating him near Moshav Amirim, which is a few miles south of Meron. Unfortunately he was not alive by the time he was found and apparently had fallen from height. Police said there was no suspicion of foul play.

Efraim Z’l was the son of Rabbi Ze’ev Rom and the grandson of Rabbi Yona Rom, the rabbi of the Makor Baruch and Kerem neighborhoods in Jerusalem who recently passed away. The Rom family is a famous and illustrious Jerusalem family who are descended from the brother of the Gra. His mother is the daughter of Rabbi Bentzion Brodianski, one of the heads of the Kol Torah yeshiva and the son of Rabbi Efraim Brodianski, one of the editors of the Talmudic Encyclopedia.

Israeli Bochur Missing in North

 

A search is underway for a yeshiva bochur from Jerusalem, who has been missing since Monday and is believed to be in northern Israel. The man’s family has been unable to reach him for days, and they fear the worst.

On Wednesday the police requested the public’s help. The missing 22 year old, Ephraim, was last seen near Kever Rashbi in Meron, now the primary search location.

According to the young man’s mother, she last spoke with him by phone on Monday when he told her that he had met a man at a ‘Hachnosas Orchim’ who recommended a Yeshiva at the Moshav of Yavniel which was “really worth coming to.” The worried mother asked him to come home so they could discuss it.

“He told me that he had no more travel money, and it was really stormy and very difficult to return [in such bad weather],” the mother said. She added, “Still, he asked me to find out the bus schedule [to get back to] Jerusalem.”

According to the bochur’s mother, after getting wet from the pouring rain, he took off his hat and suit, but “unfortunately, when he took off his suit, he accidentally left his cell phone as well.” (Presumably in his suit pocket.)

After trying to call him dozens of times with no answer, the family decided on Tuesday morning to go to Meron.

The family fears that he may be in danger, possibly after wandering into a desolate area and getting lost. Ephraim is about 6 feet tall, thin build, light complexion, he wears glasses and has a short beard

The family is requesting to daven for Ephraim Nachum ben Leah.

Rep. Scanlon "The Defund Police" Advocate Gets Carjacked by gunpoint

 

Read the article... not one word that she was in the forefront of defunding police!

Five teenagers were charged Thursday after the vehicle stolen at gunpoint in Philadelphia from U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon was found in neighboring Delaware, police said.

Scanlon’s blue Acura MDX was located Wednesday night in Newark, Delaware, about 45 miles (74 kilometers) from Philadelphia, Delaware State Police said. The five were apprehended as they tried to flee, police said.

Scanlon, a Democrat, was walking to her parked vehicle after a meeting in the city’s FDR Park shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday when two armed men demanded her keys, police said. She handed them over, and one drove off in the car while the other followed in a dark sport utility vehicle, police said.

Scanlon was physically unharmed, said her spokesperson, Lauren Cox. Several personal and work items were also taken with the vehicle, police said.

The investigation determined a 19-year-old man was involved in the armed carjacking in Philadelphia, police said. He was turned over to the FBI.

A 14-year-old female and three males, ages 13, 15, and 16, were each charged with receiving stolen property. The 15-year-old was also charged with resisting arrest and criminal mischief. Their names were not released because they are juveniles.

All the juveniles were released to their parents or guardians, while the 15-year-old was taken to a detention center, police said.

All the suspects are from Wilmington, Delaware.

Scanlon, whose district includes portions of south Philadelphia and neighboring Delaware County, was among elected officials meeting to discuss constituent concerns around ongoing development plans for the park, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Scanlon’s office said she expressed gratitude to city police for their quick response and to her local police department and the Sergeant at Arms in Washington for working with Philadelphia police “to ensure her continued safety.”

Mayor Jim Kenney said he was “appalled to learn of this violent crime” against the congresswoman, whom he described as his friend and colleague.

“My thoughts are with her during what I’m sure is a traumatic time,” he said in a Twitter post.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe in our city, and sadly that hasn’t always been the case this year,” Kenney said. “It’s disheartening and infuriating that criminals feel emboldened to commit such a reckless crime in the middle of the day in what should be a place of peace—one of our city’s parks.”

Ezra Friedlander Now Hanging Around With the Republican Inna Vernikov

We are old enough to remember when Ezra wrote in the Jewish News blogs urging Heimishe Yidden to not switch parties and stay with the DemonRats, because "Republicans have no chance in New York City,"  but Inna proved Ezra wrong and won in a landslide over her DemonRat opponent.

Now like a "Chamer-Izel" he is following her around!

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"
