ADL Chief J Greenblatt Angry That The Supreme Court Favored Yeshivas in Maine

 

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, has again placed his woke leftist agenda above his Judaism.

Greenblatt attacked this week’s bombshell Supreme Court ruling, forcing the state of Maine to stop discriminating against religious schools.

On Tuesday, he posted a tweet saying: “We are deeply concerned by yesterday’s Supreme Court decision in #CarsonvMakin. While private religious education can be costly, this ruling weakens the core principle of church-state separation and could set a highly problematic precedent.”

Herman Kahan Brooklyn Charedi Man Wins $126 Million Jackpot

His name is Herman Kahan, he is a Haredi Jew from Brooklyn, and on Tuesday it was reported that he had won the $126,000,000 jackpot of the March 8 Mega Millions drawing. His winning numbers, although it’s probably too late to do anything with them, were: 07 18 38 58 64 and the Mega Ball 24.

The NY Lottery said about the win: “What makes this even more interesting is that the winner is a New York Lottery subscriber. The subscription program offered by the New York Lottery lets players enter into every drawing for the duration of their pre-paid subscription.
“The winning ticket for the March 8 drawing was worth $126 million. The cash value of the jackpot (if the winner wants to withdraw the whole amount at once – DI) is $85,848,424 before taxes,” the statement continued.

 We’re told that after taxes, Herman took home $52,559,839.00 – just $161 short of $52,560,000.

It’s interesting to note that local Jewish newspapers inevitably added to their headline something about hitting the winner for charity, and Yeshiva World reported: “Photos of various individuals are already viral on WhatsApp – all of them confirmed to be false,” and added, “While all of our community detectives will be hard at work trying to figure out who he is, it will take one Tzedakah or Yerushalmi Meshulach two minutes to figure it all out.”

Poor Herman is about to find out that $52 million don’t go very far…

Satmar Convinces Woke Leftist Chicago Reform Shul to Hate Israel

 

Harav Ha'gaon Brant Rosen Shlitah 

The following are words straight out of this horse's (Brant Rosen) mouth:

“I oppose the very concept of an exclusively Jewish nation-state in historic Palestine.” 

So I'm asking you readers isn't this the exact position of the Va'Yoel Moshe?

The only connection that the Reform movement had with Judaism was the State of Israel. now that's over. We are going to lose them all. 

For those who predicted that the Zionists will destroy Torah in Israel; they are in for a big surprise. There is more Torah learning in Israel than all other countries combined.  The place for kiruv is now only in Israel, as the chutz le'aaretz Jews are assimilating at an alarming rate. 

But can we complain about this foolish rabbi, when we have Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois Jews who are davening for the demise of the Jewish State as we know it? 

They keep coming up with statements "that until Moshiach, we cannot have a State al-pi-Torah." 

So good,  give all the Satmar Institutions and all buildings that are owned by anti-Zionists to the Arabs, and move to Gaza, Gaza is part of biblical Eretz Yisrael. Pick yourselves up with your families and move to Gaza or Ramallah and wait there for Moshiach.  Who is forcing you to live under the Israeli flag?

Reading this article below, I was at first outraged, but then I thought, why am I getting all worked up, after all we have our very own meraglim. 

As Rav Teicthtal z"l said "the meraglim were Tzaddikim and they were the ones responsible for this galus." 

Brant Rosen is no different than the leaders of our frum world who are destroying the connection that a Jew has to Eretz Yisrael. Yes, notice I say Eretz Yisrael" and I didn't say the State of Israel. Because when I grew up in the communities of the survivors, Eretz Yisrael and the State of Israel were one of the same. They were proud of the State of Israel's accomplishments.They were thrilled and ecstatic when Israel won the wars. 

Satmar destroyed all that when they made a distinction between the State of Israel and Eretz Yisrael. When they said that it wasn't Hashem that helped Israel win the wars, it was the "Samach Mem" They in effect separated the Jew from Eretz Yisrael. 

 The Brant Rosen's of the world are taking the  Jews  down a slippery slope sliding quickly  into  the woke cesspool. When I say  "Jews" I'm talking about the majority of Jews, the majority are not religious and have no affinity or connection to their religion. Until now, there was a straw they could grab onto and that was their connection to the State of Israel. There was hope that because of their connection to Israel they would see the light and identify as Jews. But that's all over! 

The bottom line is that Brant Rosen and Satmar are on the same page vis-à- vis the State of Israel.!

Progressive synagogue Tzedek Chicago, founded in 2015 and led by Rabbi Brant Rosen, recently made an announcement that elicited strong reactions in much of the Jewish press and beyond. Opting to change their identity from “non-Zionist” to “anti-Zionist,” they released the following statement: 

While we appreciate the important role of the land of Israel in Jewish tradition, liturgy and identity, we do not celebrate the fusing of Judaism with political nationalism…We are anti-Zionist, openly acknowledging that the creation of an ethnic Jewish nation-state in historic Palestine resulted in an injustice against the Palestinian people – an injustice that continues to this day.

The fusion of Judaism and nationalism is an important and complex point as that was the initial protest against Zionism in many liberal Jewish circles in America. Zionism “nationalizes” the Jew, and Judaism, in ways that ostensibly subverted the normalization of the Jew as citizen in the post-emancipated Diaspora. This is how it was articulated in the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform of Reform Judaism in America which stated that “we [Jews] no longer consider ourselves a nation, but a religious community.” 

France rules against Arab "tzneesdikeh" "Shvimkleid" for religious reasons

 

France’s top administrative court ruled Tuesday against allowing body-covering “burkini” swimwear in public pools for religious reasons, arguing that it violates the principle of government neutrality toward religion.

While worn by only a small number of people in France, the head-to-ankle burkini draws intense political debate in the country.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin hailed the ruling by the Council of State as a “victory for secularism.” Some Muslim women decried it as unfairly targeting their faith and their bodies, and based on outdated misconceptions about Islam.

The city of Grenoble, led by a mayor from the Greens party, voted last month to allow women to wear burkinis in public pools after campaigning by local activists. The city also voted to allow women to swim topless, as part of a broader relaxation of swimwear rules.

Charedim follow Arab "shita" of using violence against a Kosher Cell Phone Store Because they refuse to cave to extortion

 

Draft them all to the army!  

Another Charedi protest against a cell phone store turned violent on Tuesday.

Several protesters were arrested after they smashed the store’s front door and glass, and clashed with police officers.

Hundreds of Charedim attended the protest. Posters around the city called on the public to demonstrate against “isolated cell phone shops which remain unsupervised and a threat to the city’s residents”.

According to the Kikar Shabbos website, organizers claimed that the store sells defective devices, but in fact the store refuses to pay for kosher supervision from the “Communications Vaad”, yet insists on selling kosher devices.

The “mostly peaceful” demonstration turned violent when protesters tried to break into the store and eventually smashed the front door. A number of people were injured due to shattered glass.

The storeowner posted a video on social media blasting the protesters, saying: “Complete vandalism. Breaking our door…violent people, this is not religion, not Judaism, this is nothing, it’s against everything we know.”

Israel Cancels Youth Trips To Poland Over Holocaust Studies

 

Israel has canceled educational trips to Poland for thousands of high school students this summer, claiming the Polish government is trying to control the Holocaust-studies curriculum taught to Israeli children, the Israeli foreign minister said.

The announcement by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid reignited longstanding tensions between the two countries over Poland’s treatment of its Jewish citizens during the Holocaust.

In his comments, Lapid said Poland has barred Israeli delegations from learning about the role of Polish citizens in collaborating with Nazis during the Holocaust.

“They wanted to dictate what was allowed and what wasn’t allowed to be taught to Israeli children who go to Poland and that we cannot agree with,” he told a news conference on Wednesday.

Poland was the first country invaded and occupied by Adolf Hitler’s regime and never had a collaborationist government. Members of Poland’s resistance and government-in-exile struggled to warn the world about the mass killing of Jews, and thousands of Poles risked their lives to help Jews.

However, Holocaust researchers have collected ample evidence of Polish villagers who murdered Jews fleeing the Nazis, or Polish blackmailers who preyed on helpless Jews for financial gain. Six million Jews, including nearly all of Poland’s roughly 3 million Jews, were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust, and major Nazi death camps were in Poland.

These dueling narratives have been a source of great tension between Israel and Poland, which otherwise have strong relations.

Lapid referred to a Polish bill, passed in 2018, that penalizes anyone who blames Poles as a nation for the World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. At the time, Israel and United States slammed the law, saying it hindered free speech.

On Wednesday, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski posted on Twitter that “the current formula of organized trips of Israeli youth to Poland requires changes due to systematic problems leading to the strengthening of false stereotypes, which negatively impacts Polish-Israeli relations.” Jablonski also said that Poland doesn’t wish to halt Israeli student trips but, rather, to give them a different formula that will improve Polish-Israeli ties.

Israel’s Education Ministry had announced the cancellations earlier last week but gave no explanation for its decision.

Young Israelis traditionally travel to Poland in the summer between 11th and 12th grade to tour former Nazi camps in order to learn about the Holocaust and memorialize those murdered. The trip has long been considered a milestone in Israeli education and, prior to the pandemic, some 40,000 Israeli students participated each year. About 7,000 were registered to go this summer, according to the Education Ministry.

Ties between Poland and Israel have been gradually fraying in recent years over the matter. In 2021, Israel protested a Polish law seen as banning claims for restitution of some seized property by Holocaust victims.

At the time, Poland recalled its ambassador to Israel, while Israel’s ambassador to Poland was also recalled. Ties have since improved in the wake of Israel-Polish cooperation on the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

Lapid, whose late father was a Holocaust survivor, thanked Poland for its help in rescuing Jewish refugees from Ukraine but said the high school delegations could not continue under the current circumstances.

Feuding $atmar Brother$ Get Together to $upport Immorality Endor$ing NY Governor Hochul

 

I am extremely troubled and disappointed by Satmar’s endorsement of incumbent NY Governor Kathy Hochul, particularly at this time, when we are struggling to maintain even a minimal semblance of morality in our state and in our country.

We are amidst the most dangerous times in which violent crimes are commonplace and out of control. To be able to walk safely on our streets is not a given anymore. These issues are more important than money. It was appalling to me when I read the ad from both Satmar communities’ leaders endorsing a gubernatorial candidate that supports all the “woke” and immoral behaviors that have a terribly negative influence on our entire communities including our most prized and important possessions – our children. Immoral behaviors that their gubernatorial candidate supports are deemed an abomination by our holy Torah. It seems both leaders are willing to trade money in exchange for the spiritual and physical destruction of their communities.

How will we tell the Department of Education to let us run our Yeshivas the way we want when we are beholden to them because we grovel for their funding?

We are teaching our children that money trumps even Torah values and that the ends justify the means – no matter the cost.

It is tragic that these two leaders are in the midst of a bitter machlokes and yet tell us to be mevater on every value we hold near and dear. Everyone knows that the best way to motivate our children is by practicing what we preach and setting a positive example. How can leaders tell us to do as they say but not as they do? It is appalling and unacceptable.

It is especially interesting that they can agree when it comes to accepting money. Why are they unable to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch? Everything comes with a price; in this instance, the price is our neshamos.

Quote From Rav Avigdor Miller: “All the frum jews should be up in arms for law and order – not to vote for politicians who will gives us money for programs, for orthodox organizations, or for yeshivas. We do not want them. We want politicians who will vote the way we want for our safety and who will fight for law and order.”

Why did the Chief Rabbi suddenly blast MK Itamar Ben Gvir over his Har Habayis entry?

MK Itamar Ben Gvir has been going up to the Har Ha'bayit for years making a public scene, it was never a secret, so why now?

 The truth is that the Chief Rabbi,  Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, could care less whether Jews go up to Har Habayit, just like he could care less about the Gerer Pogroms. In fact it is the Sfardi Rabbis primarily that feel that it is a mitzvah to go up to the Har Habayis,  they follow the Rambam who made a Yom Tov every year on the anniversary of his ascent with his father and brother. Belzer Chusid R' Elbaum goes up every Rosh Chodesh as well. 

So what happened that the Chief Rabbi publicly chastised Ben Gvir? 

One of his reasons is that he feels that Ben Gvir is instigating the Arabs, but that makes no sense because Rav Yosef himself has made outrageous and shocking statements about the Arabs

Rav Yitzchok Yosef said that non-Jews who don't accept Judaism's basic laws for humanity " should be expelled from Israel and sent to Saudi Arabia. But Jews will hold off on doing that until the messianic age because in the meantime Israel needs non-Jews as servants.

“Who will be the servers? Who will be our assistants?” Yitzhak Yosef said. “Therefore, we leave them here in the land.”

How do the Arabs feel about this statement?

Rav Yosef also claimed that Ben Gvir's going up to the Har Habayit is a "Chillul Hashem" Why is that a "chillul Hashem?" Why can't a Jew whose rabbis permit go on the Har Habayit?That's like saying that is a Jew living in Eretz Yisrael is a "chillul Hashem"

So what happened now that he publicly condemned him?

That's why you need to read DIN to get the news behind the news.

You see, Ben Gvir according to  the latest polls is going to have over 10 seats. 

So where are these new voters coming from? 

You guessed it, from the Chareidie parties! 

The Chareidim are panicking because if Gvir gets 10 seats or more, that will take seats away from Degel and the rest of the Chareidie parties. So they sent the dogs out to denigrate Ben Gvir. 

Ben Gvir as opposed to the other Chareidie MKs is an honest straight forward guy who says what he means, and means what he says, but that doesn't bode well for the Chareidie MKs, so they begged the Chief Rabbi  to humiliate him since both Ben Gvir and Rav Yosef are sfardim. Hopefully the voters will see thru these shenanigans and vote their conscience 

The Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, on Saturday night launched a scathing attack against those who ascend the Temple Mount, contrary to the opinion of all the great rabbis of Israel.

"Rabbi So-and-So allowed entry to the Temple Mount. What is he, not a rabbi? Fool. Is everyone called Gadol Torah (a great rabbi)?" Rabbi Yosef said during a lesson.

"Who forbade entry to the Temple Mount? All the great rabbis of the generation. The same one who allows it today, that all the rabbis, these young people, rely on, is he at the same level as the great rabbis who forbade it?"

Sadegera Rebbe Banned from his brother's wedding because he is trying to evict his own mother makes a Fictitious Wedding Without Bride And Groom in Bnei Brak

 

This gives "transgender" a whole new meaning, since the "rebbele twirp" was the groom and bride all in one in his makeshift wedding farce.

The Sadigura chasidim will hold a huge wedding celebration tonight in Bnei Brak attended by all of the chasidim but without the bride and groom.

The reason for the unusual reception is that the Rebbe in Israel is not able to attend the actual ceremony in the United States, because he was banned from the wedding that took place in Williamsburgby his mother, who is trying to stop the eviction from her own dira. 

The "twirp rebbe" argues that his father left him the dira in his will. Even if it was true, which animal evicts its own mother? 

The chasidim in Bnei Brak, where the Rebbe maintains his father’s institutions, decided to make a celebration in honor of the wedding but without the bride and groom present at the fictitious ceremony.
