Satmar Hypocrites Bash Belz for Allowing "secular studies" in their Yeshivois

 

👈

The Satmar (ahroinie) Yiddish Newspaper bashed Belz on their front page, because the Belzer Rebbe decided to do the right thing to introduce Math and English into their curriculum, which will entitle them to government funds for each student. 

I wonder what R' Arron Teitelbaum's wife thinks about this as she and the Belzer Rebbe's wife are sisters. I would like to be a fly on the wall, when R' Aaron and his Hebrew speaking Rebbetzin discuss this at breakfast. 

What is interesting to note is that R' Aron Teitelbaum endorsed Hochul for governor and she not only supports LGBT ideas in schools but she is fighting for this. Satmar also takes funding from "the government" and  teaches secular studies in their special public schools in Monroe. In fact the Bnei Yoel a Satmar group that hates both feuding Satmar Rebbe brothers, protest in from of R' Aaron's home on a weekly basis . 

Bunch of hypocrites!

Well respected Rav & Dayan from Bnei Brak Banished and Exiled to Tzfat because he raped a married lady

 A very respected Dayan in Bnei-Brak who was previously a Rosh Yeshiva is the talk of town as he was found guilty by a Bais Din of raping a married woman. The Bais Din first ruled that he be exiled to Chutz Le'aaretz but then decided to keep him not too far  and ruled that he must live in Tzfat as "to keep an eye on him." 

More and more women are now coming out with horror stories about him. 

Below is a video in Yiddish that talks about this "Chushiveh Dayan" 

Litvaks Remove the word "“V’eizon” (I will feed) from the Kesubos In Israel

 

A dramatic halachic controversy emerged during a shiur given by a prominent Dayan from Bnei Brak. The Dayan, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Cohen, noticed that a kesubah printed by a chareidi bookstore chain did not contain the word “V’eizon” (And I will feed), a critical aspect of the husband’s obligations as delineated in the kesubah. The implication is that with such a kesubah a husband would not be obligated to provide sustenance for his wife, which is contrary to the halachic requirement in marriage.

Since the erroneous kesubah has been mass-printed by the popular bookstore chain, it is assumed that there may be thousands of invalid kesubos which contain the mistaken version.

Rabbi Cohen mentioned this point during a shiur at the Shtefanesht Beis Midrash in Zichron Meir where he serves as a poseik. He ruled that anyone who has such a kesubah in his possession must refer to the Rabbi who performed his wedding and ask him to exchange the kesubah for a kosher one.

The dayan mentioned that even though there were loopholes which could enable the kesubah to be validated, it would be correct to exchange the kesubah, since the Nachalas Shiva maintains that such a kesubah is invalid and his rulings are accepted by Ashkenazi poskim.

The Dayan’s ruling was widely circulated and a number of young couples discovered that their kesubah was problematic and asked to change their kesubos. In the meantime, the bookstore has stopped printing the problematic kesubos.

Ami's Chaim Friedlander ... What A Damn Liar!

 





Chaim Friedlander is Ami's Israeli Politics writer. 
In this week's issue he wrote a column about Yair Lapid portraying him as anti-Chareidie. 

I am not a fan of Lapid I think that he is a disaster. 
Having said that, there is absolutely no reason to lie about him, there is enough proof of him hating Chareidim without writing lies!

Friedlander in the above clip  taken from his column, totally dismisses a disgusting incident in Beit Shemesh where a Chareidie adult spat at "seven-year-old girl" on her way to school, and wrote that this incident "has not been confirmed." 

What an unmitigated liar! 
First of all, she was not "seven years old" she was eight years old, her name is Naama Margolis.
Here is a photo of the little girl with her mother Haddassa Margolis while being interviewed on TV. This story went viral and we have a BBC clip below!


Now here is the photo of the Chareidie Adult who did the spitting:




Elon Musk says he’s terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal ... Millions of Fake Accounts

 

Elon Musk’s tumultuous $44 billion bid to buy Twitter is on the verge of collapse — after the Tesla CEO sent a letter to Twitter’s board Friday saying he is terminating the acquisition. 

Twitter did not immediately respond to a message for comment. It is not entirely clear whether Twitter’s board will accept the $1 billion breakup fee or if there will be a court battle over the deal. 

The possible unraveling of the deal is just the latest twist in a saga between the world’s richest man and one of the most influential social media platforms. 

Much of the drama has played out on Twitter, with Musk — who has more than 95 million followers — lamenting that the company was failing to live up to its potential as a platform for free speech.

 On Friday, shares of Twitter fell 5% to $36.81, well below the $54.20 that Musk had offered to pay. Shares of Tesla, meanwhile, climbed 2.5% to $752.29.

 In a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk said Twitter has “not complied with its contractual obligations” surrounding the deal, namely giving Musk enough information to “make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform.”

Harvard University's campus is now a bastion of Jew Hatred

 

Harvard University provides its students with unparalleled knowledge, skills and experiences. Yet, as we Jewish students have witnessed, the routine vilification of the State of Israel — both inside and outside the classroom — indicates that something in Harvard’s contemporary education has gone seriously awry.

In the latest example of this trend, the editorial board of the Harvard Crimson endorsed the movement to boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish state in an April 29 editorial. BDS represents the economic arm of a global effort — spearheaded militarily by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran — to destroy the Jewish state.

China has helped spread four epidemics — and COVID’s not the last

For more than two years we have lived through a pandemic that no one — no one who doesn’t fall for Communist Chinese propaganda anyway — doubts came from China.  

In fact, the consensus now is that COVID came from the Wuhan lab, something I wrote about in these pages at the outset of the outbreak. In recent months, many of those who had earlier parroted Beijing’s line about COVID coming from a bat cave, including China’s man at the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, have come over to my point of view.

At the same time, there is mounting evidence that the coronavirus was developed as part of China’s bioweapons program.

Israel grants residency visa to US Baruch Lanner convicted of sexually assaulting students

 

Baruch Lanner, the American rabbi who served nearly three years in prison for sexually assaulting students at a Jewish high school in New Jersey, has been granted a temporary residency visa that will allow him to stay in Israel while the country’s Interior Ministry reviews his request for citizenship.

Advocates for sexual abuse victims were aghast at the news, first reported by Haaretz on Thursday. While Israel’s Law of Return provides every Jew in the world the opportunity to apply for citizenship, Israel has withheld citizenship in the past from those with criminal records who are seen as posing a danger to the Israeli public.

Lanner and his second wife, who was granted citizenship, appeared in a video for the law firm that is handling the case, which alerted activists to his immigration status. In the video, in which Lanner and his wife’s faces are blurred, Lanner praises the attorney and declares, “I had some legal issues in the United States and I never thought I would be able to make aliyah,” Haaretz reported. The video has since been taken down.

In 2000, following reporting by the New York Jewish Week, Lanner’s former employer, the Orthodox Union, launched a probe indicating that Lanner was responsible for an array of sexual, physical and emotional abuse involving dozens of teenagers in his charge. He was convicted in 2002 of endangering the welfare of two girls during his time as principal of Hillel Yeshiva High School in Deal, New Jersey, in the 1990s.

Late last year, alleged victims filed a civil lawsuit against Lanner and his former employers under New Jersey law that allowed for a two-year “lookback” window during which sexual abuse victims could sue their abusers and their enablers.

A pending case like that should be reason enough to reconsider Lanner’s request for residency, said Shana Aaronson, director of Magen, an Israeli organization that advocates for sexual abuse victims, especially in the Haredi Orthodox community.

“It’s more than disheartening, it’s infuriating that despite efforts by organizations like mine and by various government agencies, the government would make such a morally bankrupt decision like this,” Aaronson said.

Magen has compiled and shared with authorities lists of as many as 100 accused and convicted offenders who have applied for and succeeded in getting Israeli citizenship or residency visas, Aaronson said. She said that she had known about Lanner’s intentions to move to Israel since 2019.

“We were aware of his history and recommended strongly that he not be granted citizenship,” she said. While Lanner served his time in the 2002 case, granting him citizenship would erase the relevance of his presence on the US sex offender registry and allow an abuser like him to “disappear into general society,” said Aaronson.

If granted citizenship, “Baruch Lanner could tomorrow walk into any school and apply for a job and be given a certificate of good standing from Israel law enforcement and get a job working with kids,” she said.

According to Haaretz, Lanner and his wife arrived in Israel as tourists and submitted their request for citizenship after landing, thereby circumventing the Jewish Agency, which handles citizenship requests in the United States and tends to reject those with criminal records. Lanner had been living variously in New Jersey and Florida.

“The details [of the Lanner case] will be thoroughly examined,” an Interior Ministry spokeswoman told Haaretz.
