“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

Listen to this Israeli tell the truth about Ukraine

 


Zelenskyy is an actor caught in his own show, building a spectacle of horror that could lure the world into a major conflict

 

Western media depict Ukraine as the victim of a savage attack, with Russia specifically targeting helpless civilians and children. I do not think it is wise to accept this narrative. Accepting such a narrative could only make things worse for everyone.

Ukraine is arming civilians and training them to shoot at Russian soldiers. They are fighting in urban areas, firing from residential buildings, and possibly from more sensitive locations, such as nurseries, schools, and hospitals. Russian soldiers will obviously shoot back at them. Civilians will inevitably die.

Why is it important to say this?

If we accept the Western narrative, it will only come back to bite us. Israel has been combating similar narratives for decades, trying to defend itself against foreign accusations. We are called an army of occupation and our soldiers are accused of committing war crimes.

-Hamas hides behind civilians and shoots at us. We fire back and are called murderers.

Hamas operates out of residential buildings, or in buildings shared by the foreign press. We level them and receive bad press.

-Hamas fires rockets from schools and hospitals. We fire back and the world backs them in their struggle against us.

Israel has a moral army, as far as armies go. I would not compare us to the Russians, but we do find ourselves in a similar position. Israel also has a greater incentive to please the world. We cannot afford to dig in deep like the Russians. Our military conflicts often end quickly with us pulling out, unwilling to finish the job in the face of stiff foreign opposition. Russia is different.

The UTUBE Kabbalist

Rabbi Avraham Shira 
The Rambam in his preface to Hilchos Dei'us, notes that when Hashem created the human being, He created him so that his offspring going forward shouldn't  think alike. In other words every human being should have his own independent thoughts and those thoughts should not be necessarily be the same as his siblings, or neighbors. Because if everyone thought alike we couldn't function as a society.

 For example, we cannot have everyone be a doctor, or everyone be a lawyer. For society to function we need doctors, lawyers accountants, shoe makers, tailors, builders, bakers, chefs, rabbis etc, and of course "Kabbalists" 
But just because someone chose to be a doctor, that doesn't mean that he will be a good one, there are good doctors and they are bad ones. There are good lawyers and there are very bad ones. There are good chefs and there are really awful ones. Similarly, there are holy kabbalists and there are not so holy kabbalists!

Which brings me to Rabbi Avraham Shira who has hundreds of videos of his teachings on UTube. I don't know in what category he fits in vis a vis genuine and holy kabbalists . But what I do know is that he has been alleged to have strange "minhagim" !

Rabbi Avraham Shira 
Rabbi Shira has a bio that describes his journey and his profession as a Kabbalist and a therapist! 

 To whom is he teaching the Holy Kabbalah? 
If you look at the comments on his videos be it on Facebook or Utube, you will notice that they aren't Jewish at all and according to the good rabbi himself, he boasts that his followers are Christians from Africa! 
So this Holy Kabbalist is teaching the deep secrets of our Holy Torah to Christians! 
G-d chose the Jewish people specifically to give the Torah as a gift! Except for the 7 Mitzvois of Bnei Noach, it is prohibited for  any Jew to teach Torah to goyim. We recently learned in the daf that Kabbalah can only be thought to two people at a time. 

This rabbi, the "kabbalist" also has a strange "minhag" and that is hanging out with Yochannan (John) Mahler a publisher of porn that discuses non-consensual violence against women and unashamedly praises pedofilia . This Mahler is an "expert" in BDSM and S&M and other perversions! He also walks around in a "kilt"

Reading this you are probably thinking so what's the proof that the good rabbi has any connection with Mr. Porn Mahler, just because he posed with him , really means nothing!

Correct! Just because someone poses with a guy really means nothing, but here comes the kicker!
In addition to all his "maalis," his attributes, Rabbi Shira, is also a Shadchan! 

 Rabbi Shira convinced an innocent girl from a frum family, a girl who made Aliya all by herself, to marry this pervert. The young girl was learning in a seminary up in northern Israel, where Rabbi Shira was mentoring her. 

Where the good kabbbalist picked up this strange bird, John Mahler, only G-D Knows, but what is certain is that he knew that Mahler was a writer of violent porn when he set them up and married them. And if he  didn't know then, he was informed by the family and given evidence. John Mahler  frequently drives  to this tzaddik to spend time with the "chushivah" Shira family!

The girl had called her family right after the wedding and wanted out, she was exposed to Mahler's perversion and didn't want any part of it . People and family who are close to the situation say that the kabbalist influenced the  young innocent girl to cut off complete ties with her family and encouraged her to remain in this alleged "abusive" relationship! When the concerned family reached out to Shira, the good rabbi stopped communicating with them and refused all contacts! 
In kabbalah there is a concept called אין סוף, but the family does want a סוף to this nightmare allegedly generated by Shira! 
So my readers what are your ideas?



The Strap that Chassidishe Teacher beat their students now comes in a fancy holder.

Great Shaloach Manos present for the sadistic melamdim out there

Famous Holy Purim Song Was Composed by a Black Jazz Singer


So the holy purim song that all sing with such deviekus was actually composed by a black Jazz singer, and I believe it's an old slave song !

Pass me a drink 


Sadigere Rebbes Come together for Wedding EXCEPT for the "little brother" Rebbe who Decides Not to come!



Chareidie tries to electrocute his Rebbetzin

 


The Chareidie guy took car cables and attempted to electrocute his wife the mother of his children. 

The daughter heard the screams from her mother and called police. While in handcuffs, the tzaddik said that he was only trying to frighten her! I guess he will listen to the megilla in jail! 

Belz Will Officially Accept State-Chasidic Curriculum

 

Belz the chasidic group, which is the second largest in Israel, has apparently agreed to include core curriculum studies in its schools as previously reported, according to a report by Actualic.

The Israeli ministry of education authorized the special framework of study for the Belz institutions which will enable them to receive government funding at a higher level in return for studying three basic disciplines at grade school levels: Hebrew, Math and English. If students can pass all three subjects, the schools will receive 100% funding as in other school systems in Israel.

The negotiations between Belz and the ministry were coordinated by Rabbi Yonatan Reiss, a Belzer chasid who established a network of yeshivos which enable chareidim to streamline their army service while maintaining their core values. Reiss himself was conscripted as a deserter at the age of 26 but then realized that chareidi soldiers do not have a proper framework to prepare them for the culture shock they encounter when joining the army. He established Chedvata, which prepares chareidi youth for technological service in the army and B’Tzavta, which prepares them for combat service while maintaining their religious lifestyle.

The “state chasidic” educational stream is expected to attract other chasidic groups who wish to maintain their unique educational style but to receive extensive government funding.

NY STATE TO YESHIVA PARENTS: CHILDREN DO THINGS OUR WAY, OR PARENTS GO TO JAIL!

 

I have to say that the Ribbono Shel Oilom has a great sense of humor. 

Remember when R' Zalman Leib, Williamsburg Satmar Rebbe, brought $5 million to Israel to distribute to Israeli Yeshivois that refused to take money from the Medina? Well that money lasted about 7 days. Most of those yeshivois had to start taking the money from the medina, otherwise the melamdim would starve to death. Belz has officially and publicly announced that they will comply with the "medina's educational requirement so as to get the funds.

So what did the Ribbono Shel Oilom do try try to put some sense into them? 

He tested them back in their own turf in Williamsburg! The Satmar and other Chassidishe Moisdois all take money from the Medina, yes absolutely, they take money from the US Medina, but with taking money come strings attached; they will have to teach Math, English , Social Studies, Chas Ve'sholom! 

When you guys mess with our "medina" Hashem will mess with your "medina" 

The Board of Regents met today and received a presentation from the State Education Department about the new proposed regulations of private schools. It has already been  reported that all of the non-Jewish schools in the State will be exempt under the new regulations, leaving only Yeshivas subject to the review and approval of local school districts.

 At the last minute the State Education Department, led by Commissioner Betty Rosa, slipped in a section to the regulations that threatens jail time for parents who send to a non-complying yeshiva.

The new section is 130.14 and is titled Penalties and Enforcement. “Any violation of the compulsory education requirements contained in Article 65 of the Education Law is subject to the penalties prescribed in Education Law 3233.”

This bureaucratic language is threatening, not harmless. Article 65 refers to the compulsory education requirement that parents send their children to a school that provides substantially equivalent instruction. Education Law 3233 provides that a first offense is punishable by ten days’ imprisonment, and each subsequent offense by imprisonment not to exceed thirty days.

That’s right: These regulations threaten jail time for parents who send to a yeshiva that the local school district deems non-equivalent.

What about parents who continue to send their children to failing public schools? They are applauded and rewarded by the State.

He came to Israel - and saw tallit and tefillin for the first time in his life

 

As he shuddered with tears in his eyes, Ariel from Hungary clutched the tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillin (phylacteries) bag he received moments before standing in front of the Western Wall. His counselor, Rabbi Asher Feit, ran over to him. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Yes, yes," Ariel answered. With his eyes filled with tears, he added, "It's just that I need help putting on this tefillin. I'm so overwhelmed standing here at the most sacred place of the Jewish nation. My mother and father gave me a note to put in the Kotel (Western Wall - ed.), but I have to put on tefillin, and tallit and I don’t know what to do first."

The counselor patted his shoulder, calmed him down and reassured him. "Put on your tallit, let's help you put on tefillin, and we will pray together. We will hear the reading in the Torah of Rosh Chodesh (the new Jewish month) and then you can put the note in the Kotel."
