Bleich the "fake" chief rabbi in Ukraine who lives in Monsey denies sexual misconduct allegations

 

The main organization representing British Jews has suspended its ties with the European Jewish Congress over unspecified “misconduct” allegations against the Congress’ treasurer, Yaakov Dov Bleich, a chief rabbi of Ukraine.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews announced the move on Twitter May 31 without naming Bleich. In the tweet, the group said the EJC did not respond satisfactorily to “misconduct allegations,” whose exact nature has not been reported in the media or specified by the Board.

Bleich, who has been featured in news coverage of the war in Ukraine, has denied all allegations against him, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

“Anyone in public life, over five to six years, you’re going to make changes, especially at my age, where I am less active,” Bleich told Haaretz. “If you come with something concrete, OK, but everybody who investigated said there’s nothing concrete behind these allegations.”

EU Unconditionally Restores PA Funding

 

Almost all of the EU member states- 26 out of 27 EU states – voted in favor of the decision to resume financial support for the Palestinian Authority (PA), which was suspended two years ago. In doing so the EU backed down on its demands for new measures that it had insisted be taken by the PA for a renewal of funding.

The EU will now unconditionally renew its financial support to the PA. About 80% of this support is allocated to projects, hospitals and aid, while 20% of the funds will be transferred directly to the PA’s coffers.

Sources told TPS that the support amounts to 250 million euros ($260 million) per year, and it is expected that the full amount will be transferred in the coming months.

The reasons for the original suspension of the funding revolved around three issues and conditions that the EU and the PA had disagreed on:

  • The Palestinian school curriculum and the requirement that it change in the way that it refers to Israel, among other education issues.
  • The EU’s demand that the PA cease all payments or salaries to the families of the terrorists either held prisoner in Israel or who were killed or wounded while undertaking acts of terrorism.
  • The continued payment by the PA of the salaries for government workers in the Gaza Strip, which the EU opposes.

The Europeans, however, have now withdrawn all of their demands and so the PA will be free to continue to finance the families of terrorists and the Hamas government in Gaza.


'They're waiting to kill you at the hotel' Israelis in Turkey Warned

 

A group of Israeli tourists who went on vacation in Turkey recently have received a phone call from a senior member of the Israeli intelligence community instructing them to return to Israel immediately, Channel 13 News reported.

The official told the tourists that they could not even return to the hotel, as Iranian assassins were waiting for them at the hotel to murder them, and informed them that, at that moment, someone would be sent to take them to the Istanbul airport to return to Israel.

A friend of a woman who received the ominous warning told Channel 13 News: "On Friday afternoon, she was asked to stay exactly where she was, in the market area and in no uncertain terms not to return to the hotel. An armored vehicle arrived with ten Israeli security guards who accompanied them and travelled with them to the airport. They got on the flight, while all their luggage and belongings stayed at the hotel."

"When they landed in Israel they were taken straight to interrogation and asked who they had spoken to and where they had been. A real serious interrogation," the friend said. "And when they tried to figure out what had happened, it was explained to them that [the assassins] were just waiting for them at the hotel. She is in shock and unable to speak."

The defense establishment believes that there are Iranian squads scattered throughout Turkey, but the focus is on Istanbul, with an emphasis on Israeli tourists, so on Monday the Counter-Terrorism Bureau announced the travel warning level to Istanbul would be raised to Level 4, which is the highest level.

2 US Senators, 4 Congress Members Condemn ‘The Mapping Project’ that is planning a US "Krystalnacht"

 

US Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Edward J. Markey (D-MA) this weekend roundly condemned “The Mapping Project” – a detailed graphic aimed at illustrating all entities believed by its progressive creators to pose a threat to their version of society as they want it to be.

The project was created by a Boston-area pro-Palestinian Authority activist collective aligned with the international Boycott, Divest & Sanctions (BDS) economic war on Israel, one that is not only antisemitic but appears clearly dedicated to total anarchy.

“At this moment of rising anti-Semitism, racist attacks, and political violence, this ‘mapping’ of the Jewish community is dangerous and irresponsible. We strongly condemn anti-Semitism and will continue working for the safety of all vulnerable people at home and abroad,” Warren and Markey said in their statement issued Friday (June 10).

Why did the "Lakewood Scoop" Boycott the Lakewood Torah Event that had over 20,000 attending ?









 



Over 20,000 people streamed to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Sunday night to celebrate the historic partnership between BMG yungeleit and baalebatim, an initiative led by philanthropist R’ Lazer (Louie) Scheiner.

The 4-hour plus event, filled with joyous dancing, singing, and inspiring messages from gedolim, stressed the importance of the lomdei Torah who bring bracha to the world, subsequently enabling the machzikei Torah to support and empower them in their learning.

Speakers included BMG Rosh Yeshiva HaRav Malkiel Kotler shlit”a, HaRav Dovid Cohen, and HaRav Ephraim Wachsman.

Complete Betrayal At Fox News


Fox News highlighted the story Friday of a biological girl whose family encouraged her to identify as a boy, as part of its “America Together: LGBTQ+ Pride Month” series.

The video would be absolute despicable insane lunacy if I saw it on CNN or MSNBC.  

To see it on Fox News is a complete betrayal of anything remotely resembling conservatism or decency.

Every element of this video is propagandistic, dangerous garbage. The report states that this biologically female child was choosing her gender before she could speak

That is madness.

The report further states that Ryland’s parents began social transition at the age of five. 

This is child abuse. The vast majority of children who display signs of gender dysphoria desist over time.

The report is absolute, horrifying propaganda. 

Why is the Aguda and the entire Chareidie media Silent on Gerer Pogroms? Are the Moetzes Ha'gdolah frightened?



** This article was written right after the events it discusses, and its translation to English was only published three weeks later. In the interim, it is important to highlight those brave yet very few Rabbinic leaders who did condemn the violence, and in particular the Viznitz & Stoliner Rebbes. 

 The violence that broke on Charedi streets three weeks ago Shabbos terrified everyone. How, then, can we ‎explain the deafening public silence that followed? The lies not in indifference and ‎nihilism, but in our neglect of the public square.‎


Friday night. Hundreds of rioters gathered outside the doorstheir cries clearly heard inside the Shul. Children clung to their parents, seeking shelter. Helpless adults recited Tehillim in helpless panic. One door is torn down, then another. Rioters unleash their fury, smashing furniture and hurling holy books to the floor, tearing them to shreds. An eight-year-old child looks up at his father and sees his head covered in blood. Nobody knows how the terror will end. After minutes that seem like an eternity, the prayers are answered and baton-carrying officers show up. Ranks of helmet-bearers divide between persecutor and persecuted.

This is not a quote from the annals of a Jewish community sometime in the distant past. The events described, without any exaggeration, happened in our own times. Moreover, they did not occur in some distant land but here, in the heart of Jerusalem. The events noted above are a very partial description of the pogroms of Bechukosai 5782.

On the nineteenth of Iyyar, the night before we read the Admonition of the “vengeful sword,” three years of wild incitement, separations between families, harassment of children, tire slashing, and myriad other methods of oppression reached their climax. The time to reap the fruits of hatred had arrived. Thousands of Gerrer Chassidim in several concentrations across Israel hit the streets on a mission: to beat, smash, and shatter the bodies and property of members of the seceding community, those who dared to follow the leadership of Rav Shaul Alter. The attack was not sporadic or coincidental; the incited masses were acting on the explicit instruction of Ger leadership.

Young men alongside venerable rabbis were beaten and wounded. Under the cover of an ostensible “peaceful protest,” rioters ran into the Shuls of the Pnei Menachem community, ransacking, beating, and wrecking all they saw in a violent rampage. From there, the campaign of destruction continued to private homes, where it was the women’s turn to suffer the wrath of the assailants. Fearing for their very lives, mothers called the police in the middle of Shabbos to save them. All this took place in the view of the public eye—in Jerusalem and in Bnei Brak, in Ashdod and in Beit Shemesh. Kollel students were ambushed, some suffering grievous injury; Rabbis were struck by naked fists. Ultimately, thousands of young men and Kollel students ran rampant for close to forty-eight hours, their eyes burning with hatred, letting their violent urges loose on their victims.

A Chilling Silence
