“I Urge Jews To Leave Russia Before It’s Too Late” Chief Rabbi of Ukraine R' Moshe Azman:

 Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Rav Moshe Azman is urging Russian Jews to leave the country before it’s too late.

“Today I would advise the Jewish communities of Russia to leave the country, and many are already doing so,” HaRav Azman said last week in an interview with Voice of America.

“I was in the Soviet Union and tried for many years to go to Israel,” said Rav Azman, who was born in the Russian city of St. Petersburg. “Therefore, when everything closes, it will be difficult to leave. The rhetoric in Russia is very dangerous. The rhetoric there now is worse than the Soviet Union.”

Rav Azman decried Russia’s preposterous propaganda against Ukraine as being led by Nazis. “They themselves act like Nazis,” he continued. “So who do they ‘denazify?’ They kill people, torture, rape. This is called ‘denazification.’ They invented this theory to justify their crimes.”

About 5,600 Jews have made aliyah to Israel since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24.

There are almost 200,000 Jews in Russia, making it the seventh-largest Jewish community in the world.

How many Al Jazeera Journalists Have been killed

 

12 Al Jazeera journalists have been killed since 1996. Did you hear of any of them? I haven't heard of any of them - I mean the entire world suddenly knows #ShireenAbuAqla and cares about her but shame poor Tarek Ayoub won't be known because Israel wasn't related to it. pic.twitter.com/ILnO6eDPWq

Did you read the Haftorah this past Shabbos?

 For thousands of years, Jews read passages from this week's Haftarah and waited. On Shabbat morning, after reading from the Torah, they again read these stirring passages from the Prophet Jeremiah .

Jerusalem is in the midst of the Babylonian siege. These are the last days before the destruction of the city. The Prophet Jeremiah, who had been thrown into prison, is commanded by G-d to do something that makes no sense: to buy a field in the nearby city of Anatot.

Jeremiah responds by drawing up a bill of sale, gathering witnesses, and executing the real estate transaction, despite the horribly dark realization that the nation is going into exile. And then, in that very moment of impending doom, Jeremiah makes an astonishing statement: "Houses and vineyards shall again be purchased in this land." (Jeremiah 32:15)

Two thousand years have passed and you are invited to check the prices of real estate in Jerusalem, to look at the cranes and new buildings going up in its neighborhoods, to walk in its beautiful alleyways -- and to discover that Jeremiah was right. Houses and fields and vineyards are being purchased in this land.

This chapter in our history gave hope to those reading about it for generations. It is an expression of the incredible potential of our people, both collectively and individually, that is now coming to fruition. Just as in the past, positive developments that today seem to make no sense can occur all of a sudden. And just as this prophecy of Jeremiah has been fulfilled, others will be fulfilled as well. It's possible. Ultimately, it's actually essential, although we cannot see at the moment how the future will unfold, as G-d says to Jeremiah a few verses later: "Behold, I am the Lord, the G-d of all flesh. Is anything concealed from Me?" (Jeremiah 32:27)

May we continue to see prophecies fulfilled. Shavuah Tov

Moon goes blood red this weekend: ‘Eclipse for the Americas’

 

A total lunar eclipse will grace the night skies this weekend, providing longer than usual thrills for stargazers across North and South America.

The celestial action unfolds Sunday night into early Monday morning, with the moon bathed in the reflected red and orange hues of Earth’s sunsets and sunrises for about 1 1/2 hours, one of the longest totalities of the decade. It will be the first so-called blood moon in a year.

Observers in the eastern half of North America and all of Central and South America will have prime seats for the whole show, weather permitting. Partial stages of the eclipse will be visible across Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Left out: Alaska, Asia and Australia.

“This is really an eclipse for the Americas,” said NASA’s Noah Petro, a planetary geologist who specializes in the moon. “It’s going to be a treat.”

All you need, he noted, are “patience and eyeballs.”

A total eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the moon and the sun, and casts a shadow on our constant, cosmic companion. The moon will be 225,000 miles away at the peak of the eclipse — around midnight on the U.S. East Coast.

“This is this gradual, slow, wonderful event that as long as it’s clear where you are, you get to see it,” Petro said.

If not, NASA will provide a livestream of the eclipse from various locations; so will the Slooh network of observatories.

There’ll be another lengthy total lunar eclipse in November, with Africa and Europe lucking out again, but not the Americas. Then the next one isn’t until 2025.

Launched last fall, NASA’s asteroid-seeking Lucy spacecraft will photograph this weekend’s event from 64 million miles away, as ground controllers continue their effort to fix a loose solar panel.

NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins, a geologist, plans to set her alarm clock early aboard the International Space Station.

“Hopefully, we can be up in time and be at the right place at the right time to catch a good glimpse,” she told The Associated Press earlier this week.

Arabs grabbed journalist's casket against her family's wishes

 

The Israel Police said on Friday that Arab rioters took the casket of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh against the wishes of her family during Friday’s funeral, forcing the officers to intervene.

“Plans for the funeral procession of Shireen Abu-Akleh were coordinated in advance by the Israel Police together with the Abu-Akleh family,” the Israel Police Spokesperson said in an English-language statement.

“On Friday, about 300 rioters arrived at Saint Joseph hospital in Jerusalem and prevented the family members from loading the coffin onto the hearse to travel to the cemetery – as had been planned and coordinated with the family in advance. Instead, the mob threatened the driver of the hearse and then proceeded to carry the coffin on an unplanned procession to the cemetery by foot.”

“This went against the wishes of the Abu-Akleh family and the security coordinations that had been planned to safeguard the large number of mourners. The Israel Police instructed that the coffin be returned to the hearse, as did the EU ambassador and Shireen Abu-Akleh's own family, but the mob refused.”

“Israeli Police intervened to disperse the mob and prevent them from taking the coffin, so that the funeral could proceed as planned in accordance with the wishes of the family.”

“During the riot that was instigated by the mob, glass bottles and other objects were thrown, resulting in the injury of both mourners and Police officers,” the statement concluded.

Israel came under fire over the violence that broke out during the funeral. US President Joe Biden was asked whether he condemned Israeli security forces for the violence and replied, “I do not know all the details about what happened at the funeral of Shireen Abu Aqleh, but I know that an investigation must be opened.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki earlier in the day described the footage from the funeral as “deeply disturbing”.

“We have all seen those images, they’re obviously deeply disturbing. We regret the intrusion of what should have been a peaceful procession,” she told reporters.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the UN, tweeted, “Deeply distressed by the images from Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral procession. The tragedy of her killing should be handled with the utmost respect, sobriety, and care.”

Toldos Aaron Extremists Destroy Shrine for the 45 Who were killed in Meron and will block any special services to them.

 

I am sure that you read about Police violence against the Toldos Ahron protestors at Meron.  The police were extremely brutal, something they wouldn't dare do to Arab protestors. 

Just two days ago, in Meah Shearim, police used violence against those who were flying the Palestinian flags and yet when Arabs were doing the same thing in the heart of Yerushalyim they looked away.

I am against violence especially against Jews and of course Jewish violence against other Jews. Meah Shearim have repeatedly stoned and almost lynched Chareidie soldiers in uniform that went to chap a minyan there. But when police use violence against them they scream Nazi.

What led to the police brutality against that Chareidie extremist? I am not justifying it, but I wonder if you know what led to the confrontation? 

The families who lost loved ones in Meron put up a shrine in Meron with candles etc.But this doesn't  bode well with the Toldos Aaron extremists who believe that they own Meron, and so they destroy it on a daily basis. 

Why don't they want it there? 

Because it reminds them that the stampede that unfortunately took place last year in Meron that took the lives of 45 innocent people in the most brutal way, with Jews stepping on other Jews that fell, was their own fault. 

Why?

For years the police and the government agencies warned them that Meron on Lag Be'Omer was a catastrophe waiting to happen, but they not only ignored their warnings but wanted the police to stay far away from the site; they didn't want any Zionists oversight. Even though that at the Kotel, Mearas Ha'machpeila and Kever Rachel something that the government controls, it is always safety first! 

The Chareidim in charge refused to follow government regs vis a vis illegal structures and didn't care and ignored crowd control rules.

Chareidim know very well that the blood of those trampled to death is on their heads.

Even after all this, they still refuse to abide by any regulations and do not want any Zionist police on hand. 

Going back to what happened with the Toldos Aaron extremist and the cop.

The families of those who were murdered by their fellow Jews decided that come this Lag Be'Omer they will have a small service to commemorate the 45 dead,, and with permission of police they set up the place with loud speakers. 

Toldos Aaron gangsters don't want the commemorations and say that this was never a minhag and therefore they won't allow it.

There is never a minhag before one starts a minhag.,the minhag of eating "ge'hakte leberlich and eyer mit zvibal" is also just a minhag, and when did that start? 

And what is so wrong with saying a couple of kapitlach tehillim for our fellow Jews that were killed in the most horrible way on this very day and on this very spot? If this is what brings them comfort, why deny them this ?

So this extremists went up to destroy the loudspeakers who was warned repeatedly by the cops to stop. He totally ignored them and so they grabbed and beat the living daylights out of him.

I am not justifying the violence but just wanted to give you the background something you won't see in the  media.
