Boro Park pilot Shmuel Judkovitz was on the runway in Linden, NJ when his plane caught fire, and before escaping he said a prayer. He miraculously escaped before his plane burned to a crisp.
He survived a plane crash in Illinois last July in which an experimental plane was totaled.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said today that he is working to build support for a House-passed bill recognizing same-gender marriage on the federal level so that it can be approved by the Senate, The Hill reports. The legislation would need 10 GOP votes to overcome a filibuster assuming all of the Senate’s 50 Democrats back it, but hopes for passage have been lifted after 47 Republicans in the House backed the bill.
“The legislation is so important,” said Schumer, who has spoken with Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), a sponsor of the Senate companion bill, to see if it has enough GOP support to pass the Senate. “She is talking to Republicans to see where the support is. I want to bring this bill to the floor, and we’re working to get the necessary Senate Republican support to ensure it would pass,” Schumer said.
Remember when the Satmar Rebbe of Monroe told his naive sheep to write letters to congress to halt Netanyahu's addressing both houses of Congress to warn them about Iran?
The rebbe is not messing with the ladies and allowed her to speak!
A DIN correspondent reached out to the Rebbe's Hebrew speaking Rebetizen to inquire how this came about that the holy rebbe allowed this bezoyin. The rebbetizen asked "Is she a Zionist?" our reporter answered "no, of course not, she married a Jew in a church and have goyim for children" "that explains it" she answered curtly adding that according to the rebbe's SHIT'eh anyone can address the Congress as long as they are not Zionists. No word yet from the rebbe's press secretary when and if they will meet.
PROJECT MOVING ALONG: Launched in 1942, the Encyclopedia Talmudis has reached the letter mem in 48 volumes, but is still 30 volumes short.
A 2016 agreement with Toronto philanthropist Dr. Dov Friedberg and his wife Nancy was aimed at ensuring the completion of the encyclopedia within 10 years. Sources say that the project is on schedule to be completed by 2024.
בתקופה האחרונה ובפרט בימים האחרונים, עם התקרבות ימי בין הזמנים חלה עלייה מדאיגה במקרי התקיפה נגד ילדים וילדות - בעיר בני ברק.
על פי נתוני ארגון 'השומרים', מדובר בעלייה מדאיגה של עשרות אחוזים באירועי תקיפה חמורים שמתבצעים כנגד ילדים בכל הגילאים – לעומת התקופה אשתקד. בארגון 'השומרים' מציינים כי המקומות המסוכנים ביותר הם גינות, חנויות ובחצרות הבתים. על כן, ההמלצה הדחופה היא - להימנע לשלוח את הילדים למקומות אלו ללא השגחה
I believe that this is proof that the "little rabbi" is actually caving in, after realizing that fight against his brothers was a losing battle. In his original complaint at Bais Din, he wanted everything, the buildings in Yerushalayim, which his older brother built with his own sweat and tears, and he wanted the buildings in London. His advisors must have told him that he should "let the big dogs lay" and so he caved and is now fighting for the name only!
About two years of the passing of the Rebbe from Sadigura, and after many months of controversy, legal discussions and dealing with matters of the will, a special letter was sent earlier this week to the Rebbes of Sadigura, Yerusjalayim and London, on behalf of the Court of Justice in Bnei Brak, headed by the Gabad Rabbi Sariel Rosenberg, in which the dayanim who signed the letter announce the issuance of a temporary injunction prohibiting the sons of the Rebbe zt"l, Rabbi Mordechai Shalom Yosef Friedman and Rabbi Aharon Dov Ber of London use the name Sadigura.
Letter was signed by the following rabbis;
Rabbi Yehuda Silman, Rabbi Sariel Rosenberg, Rabbi Yaakov Farbstein, Rabbi Meir Heisler, and even Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shafran wrote that "the Committee of the Hasidim of Sadigura and its affiliated associations requested that since the will of the Rebbe zt"l is approved by the Court, and it is stated in section 5 that he appoints his son, Rabbi Yitzchak Yehoshua Ha'asil Friedman, as his successor as the successor of the Rebbes and at the head of the people of Shlomino, the Hasidim of Ruzhin Sadigura, This is in addition to section 7 of the will, where it is written that he is the one who will head all the institutions in each and every site that bear the name Sadigura or Ruzhin Sadigura."
"Therefore," the dayanim instruct, "a temporary injunction is hereby issued, in the framework of which, apart from the Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yehoshua Ha'asil Friedman and his congregation, under his sole supervision and watch, any person, or body, or institution may use the name of Sadigura or Ruzhin Sadigura, etc., or raise funds on behalf of institutions under one of the aforementioned names, and it is also forbidden to use the symbols used by the institutions under the leadership of the Rebbe zt"l."
In conclusion, the rabbis write that "the injunction will remain in effect until a hearing and decision is reached in an agreed-upon court in all the reports that exist among the family members of the Rebbe zt"l."
"Alright, Ben Shapiro, you've spun your last dreidel," said an extreme far-right activist in a video, before he fired three shots from a revolver at a gun range in a video posted by The Informant's Nick Martin on Monday.
Aidan Duncan, who also goes by the pseudonym Smiley the Fren, joked about shooting American Conservative Jewish political commentator Shapiro in a now-deleted Instagram video of Duncan at a gun range in Nevada, Martin reported.

Yitzchok Fleisher of Bobov was pushing this commie anti-Semite, G-d only knows why, and now he is upset. Rumor has it that he is looking for another German to endorse.
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that he is ending his campaign for a U.S. House seat in New York, dropping out after two months by saying it’s clear “people are looking for another option.”
The Democrat was running in a crowded primary for a deep-blue congressional district that includes his Brooklyn home and parts of southern Manhattan.
“I’ve listened really carefully to people and it’s clear to me that when it comes to this congressional district, people are looking for another option. And I respect that,” de Blasio said in a video posted online Tuesday.
His campaign was launched months after his tenure as mayor ended and was the latest attempt by de Blasio to further his national political ambitions.
He considered running for governor of New York but opted not to challenge incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. He also had a short-lived run for president in 2019, which lasted two months longer than this year’s congressional campaign.
De Blasio became the city’s first Democratic mayor in two decades when he won election in 2013. His early achievements included expanding public prekindergarten to every 4-year-old in the city and later including more 3-year-olds. He also curtailed the police stop-and-frisk tactic and helped push through a $15 an hour minimum wage.
But by the time his second term ended on Dec. 31, 2021, his tenure was also marked by a series of gaffes, high-profile conflicts and strained relationships with progressives and the city’s police.
The former mayor seemed to acknowledge that in his video announcing he was ending his campaign, saying, “I’ve made mistakes. I want to do better in the future.”
De Blasio also said he wants to keep serving the public: “I’m going to find a different way to serve,” he said.
Recent polling had placed de Blasio near the bottom of the field of 13 Democrats seeking to represent New York’s 10th Congressional District. Other candidates in running in the Aug. 23 primary include U.S. Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents a Hudson Valley seat but decided to make a 2022 campaign further south in the metropolis, along with New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, who last served in Congress in 1981, and Daniel Goldman, the former federal prosecutor who served as counsel to House Democrats in the first impeachment inquiry against former president Donald Trump.
Rep. Jerry Nadler represents New York’s 10th district now but will no longer live in it after redistricting.
