This is the way Alexander the Great Looked Like . He is the King that met with Shimon Hatzaddik
He is only days in office and the New Mayor of New York allows non-citizens to vote
The Chareidim influence just went into the trash as the "non-citizens" are not going to vote the way Chareidim want!
American elections should be decided by American citizens!https://t.co/ipGP8d0Xjh

Shlomo Werdiger Shows Will That "supposedly " Names Gerer Rebbe , Gerer Rebbe
It is proof that he wanted the Pnei Menachem as Rebbe after him (known fact).
BUT not that Reb Yaakov Aryeh can't ever be Rebbe.
He writes, that on this particular subject the decision is on the Gerer Rebbe, meaning whoever it is at the helm at the time, be it his brother the Pnei Menachem or son Reb Y aakov Arye or even Reb Shaul Alter
I don't think there is a Gerer Chusid out there that disputes the fact that the Gerer Rebbe's father Reb Simcha Bunim wanted his son to succeed him.
The Will does not make the present Rebbe R' Yaakov Aryeh the Rebbe. Chassidim are arguing that after R' Simcha Bunim was nifter the Rebbistiveh should have reverted back to the Pnei Menachem's son who is R' Shaul Alter.
But Shlomo is not the sharpest blade in the drawer! You can have a lot of money but you still cannot buy brains! The will proves nothing! Back to the civil war!

Israeli team trains goldfish to drive
Move over, mudskippers. It turns out that goldfish, well-known dwellers of water, can in fact navigate on land. Israeli researchers have found that goldfish, when properly trained with food treats and provided with a suitable platform that includes the requisite water bath, can control a vehicle.
A team of researchers at Ben-Gurion University developed what they call an FOV — a fish-operated vehicle — that is fitted with lidar, a remote sensing technology that uses pulsed laser light to collect data on the vehicle's ground location and the fish's whereabouts inside a mounted water tank. Add a computer, camera, electric motors and omni-directional wheels to give the fish control of the vehicle and voila: a fish that can "drive" a car.
Surprisingly, it doesn't take the fish a long time to learn how to drive the vehicle. They're confused at first. They don't know what's going on but they're very quick to realize that there is a correlation between their movement and the movement of the machine that they're in," said researcher Shachar Givon.
The researchers have so far taught six goldfish to pilot the vehicle. Each of them were provided around 10 driving lessons. And each time one of them reached a target set by the researchers, it was rewarded with food.
And, as is the case with humans, it turns out t
Emma Watson actress of Harry Potter is right about Palestinians being enslaved
She's right.
The territories where the Palestinian Arabs live are indeed enslaved. They deserve to be freed from the tyrannical rule of their oppressors – Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
The actress, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" films, set off a firestorm in the world of social media this week with her Instagram post showing "Free Palestine!" banners and expressing "solidarity" with them. Hopefully, her declaration will stimulate a serious conversation about the cruel occupation that the international community has been ignoring.
The details concerning Hamas and the PA, which I cite here, are all quoted from the latest reports by two strongly pro-Palestinian groups: Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. These are not "Israeli allegations." They are what the Palestinian Arabs' most vocal supporters are saying about the two Arab regimes that rule over 98% of the Palestinian Arabs.

How a Jewish Waiter changed the life of a black Teenager
Sidney Poitier, who passed away this weekend at age 94, chokes up as he tells CBS News Lesley Stahl about the elderly Jewish waiter who taught him to read, enabling his acting career to take off.
Frum Resha'im
When Chaim Walder killed himself, the awareness of his terrible crimes had not yet become too overwhelming for anyone to deny. As is well known, there were various significant people and institutions maintaining his innocence (either because they genuinely believed it, or because they figured that they could get away with such a pretense).
In the notorious obituary printed in Yated Ne'eman, it describes Walder's greatness in his Torah studies. As a child in Talmud Torah, he was known for being "blessed with talent," then in Mishkan Yaakov he was "greatly beloved to the Rosh Yeshivah." He then graduated to the famous Kol Torah yeshivah, where he "grew to glory." Then in Knesses Chizkiyahu he was "drawn to the deep shiurim of the Rosh Yeshiva."
A week later, Rabbi Moshe Meiselman claims that Walder "did not have much of a yeshiva background," didn't do well in either Kol Torah or Knesses Chizkiyahu, had "very little knowledge of Torah" and was not successful in yeshiva.
Well, which is it?
