Golan covered in white as Jerusalem braces for first snow in years

 

The residents of the Golan Heights in northern Israel woke up Wednesday to a thick layer of snow covering the ground, with a dusting also expected in the higher peaks of central Israel including, possibly, Jerusalem.

Emergency, rescue and medical services were gearing up for a major storm that is set to last through Thursday.

Police said major roads in the Golan have been closed to traffic while schools in the area remained shut due to the weather conditions.

The snow began on the highest peaks early Wednesday and spread to the rest of the plateau, with some falling on the Galilee highlands.

On Mount Hermon, the highest point in the country, 15 centimeters of snow fell at the lower levels while on the summit 25 centimeters of snow gathered. Due to the weather, the site’s ski center was closed.

Temperatures are expected to drop during the course of the day across the country. Flood warnings were issued in coastal and other low-lying areas.

Heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms, will continue along the coastal plain until Thursday.

Don't Bother Looking For Your Lost Amazon Package It's been Stolen in Lawless LA

 

Packages stolen from Union Pacific cargo containers and then ransacked, thousands upon thousands of them, are regularly strewn along the tracks in the Alameda corridor that stretches through downtown Los Angeles. The scene is simply shocking (see, e.g., embedded video posted by the city’s CBS News affiliate).

Why is it happening? 

CA removes curriculum which forced students to chant to Aztec god of human sacrifice in order to become ‘warriors’ for ‘social justice’

 

Earlier today, conservative education activist Chris Rufo reported: “Following a lawsuit from parents, the State of California has permanently removed the ‘In Lak Ech Affirmation’ from the state curriculum, which would have forced students to chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice in order to become ‘warriors’ for ‘social justice.’”

Yes, in case you’ve forgotten (or were unaware in the first place): The state of California wanted to make kids sing ditties to Tezkatlipoka. For those who aren’t familiar with the Aztec deity, he’s the literal god of human sacrifice. Oh, and cannibalism. Just to give you a sense of what kind of culture the California Board of Education is revering, here’s Cameron Hilditch on the history of Aztec ritual human sacrifice:

The remains of more than 40 boys and girls were discovered at the excavation site of the great pyramid, most bearing the marks of severe and prolonged torture. 

This was to be expected given that the Aztec pictorial codices that have come down to us invariably show the children crying before being sacrificed. 

The priests of Tlaloc believed the tears of innocent children to be particularly pleasing to the god, and they took great care to ensure that their little victims were crying before and throughout the ceremony so that the smoke of the sacrificial fire would carry their tears up to the god above at the moment of death. 

The ritual began with the bones of the children being broken, their hands or their feet burned, and carvings etched into their flesh. They were then paraded before the celebrants of the ritual while crying. Insufficient tears from the children were believed to result in insufficient rains for the crops that year, so no brutality was spared. At the end of it all, the mutilated victims were burned alive.

The new Florida? Record number of US retirees relocate to Israel in 2021

 

A few weeks ago, Joel Tenenbaum, 81, and Marilyn Berkowitz, 84, arrived in Tel Aviv on an El Al flight from New York ready to start their new lives in Israel.

They had met through JDate five years earlier. Each was widowed; Tenebaum had been married for 47 years, Berkowitz, known as Lyn, for 49.

A retired New York trial lawyer raised in Brooklyn, Tenenbaum always had felt an affinity for Israel — fueled since childhood by Hebrew school and the movie “Exodus.” Berkowitz, a former university dean’s assistant in New Jersey, had been a frequent visitor to Israel ever since her son moved here in 1991.

Both are longtime volunteers for the Israeli nonprofit organization Sar-El. They now share a rental apartment in Tel Aviv’s trendy Florentin neighborhood, close to the ulpan where they will soon enroll in an intensive Hebrew language program.

“A lot of our contemporaries have gone to Florida,” Berkowitz said. “But I think they should become sandbirds, not snowbirds.”

In fact, more and more older American Jews are opting to spend their golden years in the Jewish state.

In Wake of Texas Synagogue Hostage Situation , the Meshigina ADL Warns Against ‘Islamophobia’

 

As the late Bob Grant would say: 

it's sick out there and getting sicker"

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) claims that its mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all …” 

So you might think that after an Islamic jihadi stormed a Texas synagogue and took hostages, the ADL would be drawing attention to Islamic anti-Semitism, as well as to the targeting of synagogues by Islamic jihadis in the past. 

Instead, it once again proves that it is more interested in preserving the Leftist narrative than in combating anti-Semitism: the ADL is very concerned that some of the reactions to the hostage-taking incident have been, in its view, “Islamophobic.” 

Viznitzer Rebbe R' Mendel Doesn't Want Chassidim to Caption on Wedding Invitations " With the Holy Rabbi's Strength" anymore

 

I wasn't aware or maybe I wasn't paying any attention to the Viznitzer wedding invitations, but it seems that the followers of R' Mendel, Viznitzer Rebbe would add the following caption on the top of the invitations.

"With the help of Hashem with the Holy Rebbe's Strength"

Isn't this blasphemy ? Outright apikorses, this suggests that Hashem, G-d forbid, needs the Viznitzer Rebbe to run the world! OMG

I'm glad he put an end to this Christian statement!

I'm always amused when these chareidim who worship their rebbe as a deity, mock Chabadniks who claim their late rebbe is Moshiach!

So it's ok for Viznitzers for years to believe that their rebbe is a deity, but not ok for Chabadnikers to believe their rebbe is Moshiach which is not actually apikorses! 

Yoel Roth says that if Walder & Mashi Zahav would have been Brestlovers they would have never committed suicide His Proof? Berland !

 

Dudi Shwamenfeld a Chareidie Newscaster Accused of Sexual Molestation

 

Dudi Shwamenfeld has been named as the Haredi radio host accused by multiple women of sexual abuse.

News of the story broke earlier this month, when it emerged that at least six women had accused the then-unnamed radio host of sexual assault. Now, according to the Ynet news site, at least one of the complainants has filed an official police complaint against Shwamenfeld, a longtime host on the popular Kol Berama radio station that serves the ultra-Orthodox community.

The woman, now 31, told Ynet that she was 19 when she first heard Shwamenfeld’s radio show and decided to reach out to him via Facebook. “We started to correspond. At a certain point he suggested we meet, but I didn’t want to,” she said. But she said Shwamenfeld convinced her to meet and “promised it would be interesting.”

Lady Rabbi Sara Zober says that the Texas terrorist's "life matters too"
