I decided not to translate this because it's nauseating, but it seems from his podcast that the crap is going to hit the fan sooner than later!
“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l
Rabbi Edelstein, who is 98 years old, received a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine over the weekend, people close to him said. This morning, he felt unwell and received a test for the coronavirus, which came back with a positive result.
Rabbi Edlerstein is the Rosh Yeshiva of the Ponevezh Yeshiva and the spiritual leader of the Degel HaTorah party.
Last night, the Health Ministry reported that 31,000 people had tested positive for the coronavirus. There was also an increase in the number of patients in serious condition.
Dr. Sharon Alroy Preis, the head of public health services at the Health Ministry, said last night that the government is considering shortening the quarantine period for people suspected of contracting the coronavirus, but no decision has been made yet.
#MI11 - this libelous claim, immediately disproved, has never been retracted. How many innocent Jews were targeted because of Andy Levin’s careless, lying words? https://t.co/2lnt86ReaE

The BBC has demanded that the victims of an antisemitic attack on a bus carrying Jewish teenagers reveal their identities before it responds to a complaint about its coverage of the incident, the Jewish Chronicle reported.
Video footage from the incident, which occurred during the Hanukkah holiday, shows the young men yelling antisemitic abuse and threats at the open-top bus, while also attempting to smash its windows and spitting at it. and others made Nazi salutes.
Some of them also took off a shoe and hit the bus with it, which is an insult in Arab culture, as the bottom of the shoe is considered unclean.
The Chaim Walder saga that has unfolded over the past weeks has created upheaval across the Jewish world, as it must. Walder was one of those profoundly sick people who built trust in order to exploit it in manipulative and destructive ways, shattering an entire community’s sense of trust.
There has been a flood of responses to this tragedy. Some of those responses demonstrate a severe lack of understanding of sexual abuse, highlighting the work that remains to be done on abuse prevention, discovery of victims, and response to perpetrators. And many voices have spoken clearly to the issue, bringing to the fore the growing number of individuals who can be turned to and organizations that are doing real work in this critical area.
