IDF to allow married soldiers to return home for day of mikva immersion

 

The IDF has decided that every conscript who is married will now be entitled to a day off on the day a female soldier herself or a male soldier's wife immerses in the mikvah.

According to the new policy, the details of which have been distributed to all units in the past week, the policy will allow soldiers to take off for 24 hours which will not be counted towards the soldier's vacation days.

In the document that was distributed, it was emphasized that "the commander of the soldier is obligated to allow departure for the arranged day set forth in the policy, he can influence the date of departure." It was further emphasized that "this policy will be reviewed by the Personnel Division."

Under the new policy, soldiers in training will be entitled to return home one day each month, while soldiers who have completed their training and are performing their regular service will be entitled to return home one day every two months.

Major Eddie Schwartz, Assistant Chief Military Rabbi, welcomed the new directive in an internal WhatsApp group of the military rabbinate. "The issue of release on the night of immersion for married soldiers has been a complex issue for years," he wrote. "At the end of hard work, which began at the initiative of the rabbi of the Nahal Brigade, and continued with the work of the IDF training staff, a directive was issued last week that every married soldier would be entitled to a monthly 'arrangement day'."

"This will not solve all the cases, and it is important to remember that there are certainly operational constraints, but the new directive will solve many of the cases."

Under Jewish law (halakha), a woman who discerns menstrual blood cannot have relations with her husband for seven days after her menstrual flow has ended (a period of at least five days) and until at the end of the seven days she immerses in a ritual bath (mikvah). The new regulations will benefit religious soldiers who follow the halakha.

Texas hostage: We weren't rescued, we escaped

 

Our interview with Jeff Cohen, one of the hostages in Beth Israel Texas synagogue. He tells us the terrorist made antisemitic remarks saying Jews control the world and the media. He describes the terrifying moments he and how eventually they escaped: @N12News pic.twitter.com/X6p6Mqvo3S

Jeff Cohen, one of four people held hostage by a gunman at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, this past Shabbat, recalled the harrowing experience in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 News on Monday.

In the interview with journalist Yuna Leibzon, Cohen said the terrorist made antisemitic remarks, saying Jews control the world and the media. He also stated that the hostages eventually escaped and were not rescued by security forces as reported.

“It’s been reported that we were released or that we were rescued. That is not the truth. The truth is that we escaped. We escaped because we were preparing all along to take the initiative when we could have it,” said Cohen.

“I strategically and tactfully made sure that I was sitting near an exit,” he recalled. “I helped my friends and my rabbi. We got us all to be sitting in the right spot.”

“At one point,” continued Cohen, “our attacker was not paying attention. He sat down. I think what he did was he put his gun down and poured some soda. Much to Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker’s credit, he picked up a chair, threw it at him and yelled ‘run!’ and we were out.”

“In the first five to 30 minutes, when you don’t know who this guy is, we had no clue, and he’s spouting all these truly crazy things, at that point I got myself into the place where it was likely that I was not going home,” he replied when asked by Leibzon whether he thought he would come out of this ordeal alive.

“However, throughout the whole ordeal, it was very important to me, and to all of us, that we all got out." 

Jewish notary was likely behind betrayal of Anne Frank to the Nazis

 

Researchers investigating the circumstances of Jewish diarist Anne Frank’s betrayal to the Nazis say they have likely identified the suspect responsible for alerting German forces in Amsterdam to the whereabouts of the Jewish teen in hiding.

The team, which includes former FBI agent Vince Pankoke, have named local Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh as being the top suspect.

After six years trying to decipher the mystery, the team, which includes historians and other experts, found that van den Bergh was, despite the rounding up of local Jews – who were then transported to concentration camps – was still living in Amsterdam during the war, even after the Amsterdam Jewish Council was disbanded.

Van den Bergh, a former member of the council, was, apparently spared the fate of its other members, all of whom were sent to concentration camps.

The researchers also found evidence suggesting that someone from the Amsterdam Jewish Council was leaking information to the Nazi occupiers.

This is not the first time van der Bergh’s name has come up as a possible suspect. The team found an anonymous note, kept in the files of a previous investigation, which was sent to Anne Frank’s father, Otto Frank, telling him that van der Bergh had betrayed his daughter.

Biden totally off the wall ...

 Biden: "I don't think there is sufficient information to know why he targeted that synagogue why he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over 10 years... why he was using anti-Semitic & anti-Israeli comments."

How the Chevra Kadisha of Israel Extorts thousands of Shekels just like the Mafia

 

All Israeli citizens are entitled to a FREE burial spot in the city that they lived in. But that doesn't stop the Chevra Kadisha gangsters from selling those spots which is against the law! They also target graves of children and transfer the bodies to other unknown places and then sell those plots!

 תחום הקבורה בארץ כבר עמד במרכזן של פרשיות שוחד, מעילות בכספים ועוד. למרות זאת, חברות קדישא בערים שונות ממשיכות לגבות אלפי שקלים בניגוד לחוק, להטעות את משפחות האבלים ולפעול ללא רישיון כלל.

 Unlike Chassidishe Rebbes, R' Chaim wasn't afraid to be surrounded by the women of his family. Of course that is not on the video but you can hear them.

Shalom Weiss Flies to Florida to thank Trump for pardoning him

 

Shalom Weiss on Left

Shalom Weiss who was found guilty of 79 counts of racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering was sentenced 835 years imprisonment (reduced from the original 845 years) three years supervised release, $123.4 million fine, $125 million restitution and 57 million forfeitures.

 This sentence was believed to be the longest prison term ever imposed in a US federal court and the longest ever for a white-collar crime. Weiss fled the country during jury deliberations in October 1999, and was extradited from Austria in 2002.

President Trump commuted his sentence on January 19, 2021.

Shalom Weiss flew to Florida to thank him and presented Trump with a  beautiful painting depicting Trump at the Kotel. The painting was painted by Weiss's daughter who is a known artist.

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, who was held hostage at his synagogue spoke out about the experience in a Facebook post and doesn't mention "G-D"

 

Thanks everyone except for his Creator!

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, the rabbi who was held hostage at his synagogue Saturday along with three others, spoke out about the experience for the first time in a Facebook post Sunday morning.

He wrote:
I am thankful and filled with appreciation for
All of the vigils and prayers and love and support,
All of the law enforcement and first responders who cared for us,
All of the security training that helped save us.
I am grateful for my family.
I am grateful for the CBI Community, the Jewish Community, the Human Community.
I am grateful that we made it out.
I am grateful to be alive.

He added to the post in a comment: “Now that I’ve put this out, maybe I can finally get to sleep. Sending love and compassion to all!”

Cytron-Walker was leading services on Saturday morning when a man took him and three others hostage, reportedly in an effort to free a woman who was convicted of attempting to kill American military personnel.

The crisis, which streamed online for some time before being taken down, drew the world’s attention to a rabbi who is in many ways synonymous with the synagogue he leads.

After a 12-hour standoff with the attacker, all four hostages were freed. The suspect, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.
