Is the Government Finally coming Around? Subpoenas Issued by Georgia for Evidence of Ballot Trafficking in 2020

 

In a bombshell development, election regulators in Georgia are demanding to see new evidence of election fraud in 2020.

State officials issued four subpoenas demanding the identity of a key whistleblower and other evidence involving an alleged ballot trafficking scandal, as reported by Just the News.

The subpoenas were sent to “True the Vote”, an election watchdog who accused up to 242 people of illegally gathering third-party ballots, a form of illegal ballot harvesting.

Regulators are demanding details about the alleged harvesters, including their identities and other key information. They also want the identity of the person who blew the whistle on the massive fraud.

In addition, it requests the identities of the “network of non-governmental organizations that worked to facilitate a ballot trafficking scheme in Georgia”. That certainly sounds a lot like an alleged conspiracy to commit election fraud.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger originally disclosed the existence of the Georgia harvesting investigation this past January.

The IDF Soldiers Experience in the Chareidie City of Beitar Over Pesach

 

The Torat IDF Twitter account retweeted a beautiful account of a group of IDF soldiers who were pleasantly surprised by the warm reception they received in Beitar, where they were posted after a number of murderous terror attacks led to an increased security presence in Gush Etzion and other areas.

“We soldiers from Battalion 931 want to share with you the happy experience we had in the wake of the [security] situation in Israel. Two weeks ago, we were recruited for reinforcement [like almost all of the IDF] and we received a certain area of the green line to guard to thwart the entry of illegal infiltrators [Palestinians].”

“Beitar is a Chareidi city that includes Chareidim from all walks of life, Litvaks, Chassidim, Ashkenazim, Sephardim. We arrived with curiosity about how a Chareidi city would react to an entire battalion staying in it for not such a short period of time.”

“And after a week and a half, we have to say that we were completely surprised, everything we heard and thought until now was simply nonsense.”

“We received the nicest welcome possible. Every few meters on the street, they stopped us to ask if we need something for the Chag…The owner of a bakery [before Pesach] refused to accept payment from any of us. They spoiled us. People in the supermarket pushed bills in our hands and told us to treat ourselves.”

“Of course, we realized we wouldn’t be celebrating Pesach at home…but after the tefillah of the Chag, we were surprised to find a long line of people waiting for us outside who simply took pairs of soldiers home for the seduah -just like that without any warning – without knowing us at all…only because we’re soldiers. So we still got to celebrate Pesach at home – by our brothers.”

“We wanted to share this with you in order to spread the kindness we received…the excitement we experienced when we understood how much they love and care about us. So that everyone would know what Am Yisrael truly is, not the conflict and hatred always presented to us. This is the truth on the street, that together with all the ideological and cultural differences, we can succeed in feeling true love for each other.”

“We won’t forget this Pesach..we were zocheh to another taste of geulah.”

BLOW TO STRAUSS: Health Ministry Closes Factory For 3 Months

Health Ministry Director-General Prof. Nachman Ash announced on Thursday that following the discovery of salmonella in the Elite chocolate factory, leading to the largest recall in Israeli history, the factory will be closed for three months.

Ash made the announcement after touring the factory in Natzeret together with other senior health officials.

“We decided to suspend the Strauss factory’s quality standard for three months,” Ash said. “The factory will not be permitted to manufacture and market their products. This quality standard is required by factories of this size.”

“The factory is going through a rapid learning process. There are many lessons to be learned before the factory can be opened again. The quality standard will be restored only after we ensure that all lessons have been learned, all the procedures are completed and we can be certain that not only is the production line clean of contamination but it won’t become contaminated in the future. There are many conclusions that the factory must draw in order for the production line to operate again.”

The company Tufinit, whose products are mainly sold in Osher Ad stores, are recalling their products that were made with the tainted Elite chocolate.

The recalled products are milk and bittersweet chocolate Neapolitans with dates of “best used” before 01/02/23 to 28/02/23.

 

The "Kiruv" Rabbi Harav ha"gaon Ha'tzaddik Elchanan Deitsch Sexually Assaulted a Lady while she was Hospitalized and another while she was Unconscious

 

Israel Police arrested on Wednesday a Jerusalem rabbi in his 50s and two possible accomplices on suspicion of raping women in his congregation, following a lengthy undercover investigation. 

The rabbi, who worked to make people more religious, is suspected of sexually assaulting women in his community for several years, telling the victims that it was a "spiritual act" to comply to his sexual demands.

The police even suspect that he sexually assaulted a woman on her wedding day, explaining that this would allow her to marry in sanctity.

The arrests were carried out at the end of a months-long investigation by Jerusalem Police, after numerous complaints of sexual and economic offenses were filed at the station. 

Israel Police are working to identify more victims, calling on anyone who can shed light on any offenses to come forward.

In addition, the police will request to extend his detention at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Rav Gershon Ribner: If You’re not Competitive in Learning, It Shows you Don’t Care Enough

 

In a recent vaad, Rav Gershon Ribner said that if someone is not competitive in his learning, it’s not a positive quality, but rather it’s because he does not care enough.

The Rosh Yeshiva shlit”a gave a litmus test to determine whether a bochur or yungerman is “inspired and dedicated” or if he is second-tier. (He also referred to it as the “A train” and “B train”.)

He said, “Are you competitive about your learning?” He added that it’s not a higher quality in ruchniyus to not be competitive in learning, because Kinas Sofrim tarbeh chochma.

“Its not an aidelkeit…if you’re not competitive. Rather it’s because you don’t care enough.”

Even though Chazal criticize the attribute of kinah, he explained that’s only the negative type, but not the positive desire to succeed in learning. The implication seemed to be that being relaxed and laid back about one’s learning may in some cases be a negative attribute.

The Rav listed other questions as well:

• If you go home to Brooklyn for Shabbos and have a date Sunday night, also in Brooklyn, would you return to Lakewood Sunday morning to learn in person with your chavrusa?
• If you bump into a Gadol at a wedding, will you speak to him in learning or just ask for a beracha? Do you have something to discuss, or would that require too much effort?
• Are you writing your learning down after you complete a sugya?
• Do you get tired of a sugya and wish you can move on?

The Rosh Yeshiva emphasized that while even second-tier Bnei Torah are certainly good to have in yeshiva, they are in a different classification than those on the “A Train.”

My two cents

I’m female and don’t learn gemara but just from learning Torah in Bais Yaakov, I would think HKBH has a different cheshbon for what makes a strong learner. Would a competitive A Train bochur leave his learning to help an old lady or his parents? According to this article, no. We learned that those talmidim of Rabbi Akiva were killed so I think I’ll take a B Train bochur who practices what he learns and doesn’t “compete”. Yuck. I don’t think that’s what HKBH has in mind. As far as I know, Moshe Rabbeinu loved teaching EVERYONE Torah.

I’ll answer the questions.

1. No. Instead of traveling for four hours for my Sunday night date, I find a bes medrash in Brooklyn and learn there for the day. Common sense.
2. I ask for a bracha and don’t waste the Gadol’s time on my gaivah-motivated-chiddush If my chiddush is that good, I write it up and send it to the godol by mail. If I’m lucky, it’s his daughter that I dated Sunday night.
3. Why would I write it down? That’s obsessive behavior. A real lamdan has to remember what he learned.
4. Of course I move on to the next sugya. Staying on one sugya for too long is obsessive behavior (see question 3) and is the leading cause of am-ha’aratzus in yeshiva boys.

I don’t know Rabbi Ribner, but it sounds to me that he has obsessive tendencies and can benefit from professional help.

Is this Rabbi a “A” Rabbi or “B” Rabbi? I have never even heard about him before.
“If he is not competitive enough” as a Rabbi it shows he doesnt care.

And yet, his Yeshiva and also all the others don’t bother with tests or any other way of documenting whether anybody is learning anything. Is this guy advocating that the B and C learners go do something productive, like join the Israeli army or learn how to support their own families? Of course not.

Getting tired of a sugya and wish to move on is not a crime. One can enjoy one sugya over another or have a better understanding or interest of another topic. Everybody is that way – everybody.

Yerushalyim Rabbi Gives a New Meaning to Kiruv .....arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.

 A rabbi in his 50s, from Jerusalem, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of sexually assaulting women, Israel Hayom reported.

Police have also arrested two of those close to the "rabbi."

According to Israel Hayom, the "rabbi" in question heads an organization dedicated towards helping Jews come closer to Judaism.

The arrest follows the receipt of complaints which raise suspicion of sexual offenses, as well as exploitation crimes and financial crimes. The investigation raised the suspicion that the "rabbi" carried out his crimes against women for whom he served as a "spiritual father," as part of their process of returning to Judaism.

Are these the teachers that "Yaafad" Wants to put into Yeshivos? Asking for a friend!

Japanese Guy Has a Solution for the Shidduch Crises

 

While Kondo acknowledges his relationship might be odd — he understands Miku isn’t a real person — it doesn’t change his feelings for her. Since falling in love with her in 2008, Kondo was finally able to interact with Miku for the first time in 2017 thanks to a Gatebox, a $1,300 machine that allowed device owners to interact with characters via holograms and even unofficially marry them.

But now, his four-year marriage took a turn when support for Gatebox software was eliminated, meaning that Kondo could no longer speak with his wife Miku, according to Newshub.

Kono insists it hasn’t lessened his feelings.

“My love for Miku hasn’t changed,” he told Mainichi, which noted he now carried around a life-size version of Miku. “I held the wedding ceremony because I thought I could be with her forever.”

Kondo is far from the only person in the world in a relationship with a character. Thousands of “fictosexual” people in Japan have begun similar unofficial relationships with a variety of fictitious figures, the Mirror reported.

While some relationships are just for kicks, Kondo’s is, to him, very real. For a long time, he said he knew a human partner just wasn’t for him due to his intense attraction to characters like Miku, a popular figure in anime and Japanese culture. Created as a synthesized voice using Yamaha’s Vocaloid technology, Miku entered mainstream media as a human, but fictionalized, character in Manga, anime series and video games. Eventually, she became prominent enough to tour with the likes of Lady Gaga on her 2014 Artpop Ball tour.

ut Miku isn’t just famous. She’s also helped Kondo with his depression.

Kondo first became familiar with Miku in 2008 after bullying at work caused him to become depressed. Despite finding it difficult to accept his feelings at first, he knew humans weren’t right for him after being met with rejection by others.

“I stayed in my room for 24 hours a day, and watched videos of Miku the whole time,” he told Mainichi.

In 2017, his relationship blossomed with Miku, thanks to Gatebox. The machine gave Kondo the chance to propose to Miku, and he invited his family and co-workers to the ceremony — but none of them came. But 39 people did attend, including strangers and online friends, some of whom are also “fictosexual.”

“There are two reasons why I had a wedding publicly,” he told BBC at the time. “The first one is to prove my love to Miku. The second one is there are many young otaku people like me falling in love with anime characters. I want to show the world that I support them.”
