Ami Magazine Features Letter From Rachmistrivka Rebber Praising Maimonides Hospital! Yet the Facts are very different

 

So what is the truth? Which is it? And if the Hospital is so bad why is Ami featuring a letter that is so far fetched that it boggles the mind?  It could be that the Maimonides Staff was extra careful with the Rebbe Shlitah, but the facts are (read article below) that there are horror stories on a daily basis. 

Rachmistrivka Letter 

To Maimonides Medical Center

This letter is long overdue. There are really no words that can adequately express our feelings to your

wonderful facility. We are attempting to communicate our feelings of gratitude and appreciation that

we have in our hearts and minds on behalf of the entire Jewish Community, on behalf of Grand Rabbi

Twersky's Family, on behalf of the Rachmistrivke Kehila, on behalf of the Jewish nation worldwide we

would like to take this opportunity to express thanks and gratitude for the good care and special attention

that was granted to our Dear Grand Rabbi, Rabbi Chal Y. Twersky Shelita.

At this point we want acknowledge Maimonides Medical Center Doctors, Specialists, Nurses and all

practitioners that cared for our beloved Rabbi with kindheartedness and special attention.

Specific recognition is given to Dr. Vitzhok Kupfer, Director, Medical Intensive Care Unit & the MICU

Staff. We are fortunate in having Dr. Kupfer as the Rabbi's physician and is granting Rabbi Twersky the

best care humanly possible. We would also like to acknowledge Ms. Mintz Interim Chief Nursing Officer

for her kindness and compassion, and of course expertise in dealing with the Rabbi and his family. A

shoutout is due to all of the Nursing Staff. Last but not least, kudos to our wonderful Executive Vice

President of Maimonides, Douglas Jablon whose name is synonymous with Maimonides Medical Center.

His is a labor of love. He's always there to lend a helping hand and listening ear. May he continue to be

there for our community for many happy healthy years.

After on our team. We thank Keven Cottingham Asst Vice President of Operations for always

facilitating and helping make our stay at the hospital easier and more pleasant.

An honorable mention is due to the following individuals who are always ready and eager to help:

Mr. Chasky Rosenberg, Mr. David Shapiro, Mr. Chalm Fleischer, Mr. Yidel Feig, Rabbi Benzion Leser and

Rabbi Sholom Peach Greenberg. Their support and assistance is available 24/7. We are grateful to have

them on our team.

It is not every day that a hospital has the chance to care for a distinguished and exceptional individual

like our Rabbi. The fact that your institution appreciated their good fortune and extended the Rabbi the

exclusive care and compassion that he received, speaks miles for Maimonides as a great hospital, and for

the staff as gentle and caring individuals. We are proud to have this hospital in our neighborhood.

May G-d continue to guide you and help you heal patients and their families like you have helped us.

With much gratitude and admiration,

Rabli Moshe Kramer

On one side are allegations of mismanagement, self-enrichment and poor performance putting Brooklyn residents in danger.

On the other is a dismissal of these complaints as a disinformation campaign — spread by mailers, leaflets and on social media — meant to disparage the quality of care.

In politics, this would be business as usual.

But this fight is happening over Maimonides Medical Center — Brooklyn’s largest safety-net hospital, in Borough Park.

Unilever boss tells Ben & Jerry’s to Shut UP and stay out of geopolitics after Israel flap

 

Ben & Jerry’s filed a lawsuit against Unilever earlier this month after the parent company sold its Israel division to a local franchisee — contravening the ice cream maker’s ban on doing business in Israeli settlements.

The franchisee, Avi Zinger, will resume selling the ice cream under the Ben & Jerry’s brand in territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.

Despite the lawsuit, Jope said that Unilever has no plans to sell off Ben & Jerry’s.

“The long-term future of Ben & Jerry’s is squarely part of Unilever,” Jope told the Journal.

Last year, Ben & Jerry’s ignited controversy when it announced that it would halt the sale of its ice cream in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where Palestinians hope to establish an independent state.

The decision was denounced by supporters of Israel as anti-Semitic and state governments in the US applied financial pressure on Unilever by pulling tens of millions of dollars in equity investments from pension funds.

Ben & Jerry’s wants a federal judge in Manhattan to issue a preliminary injunction to block the sale of the brand to Zinger.

The company and its corporate parent then agreed to a two-week mediation period to see if the two sides can strike a deal to avoid litigation.

If no agreement is reached by Thursday, Ben & Jerry’s will continue seeking an injunction.

Sydney Wolf killed after Lyft driver kicks him out on highway

 

A former staffer for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was killed by a passing car after he was kicked out of a Lyft by an angry driver while in the middle of a Delaware thoroughfare.

Sidney Wolf, 43, was fatally struck on Coastal Highway (Route 1) at about 1:44 a.m. Sunday when the driver stopped in the left lane and told Wolf and five of his friends to get out, according to the Delaware State Police.

“Shocked & saddened to hear this tragic news,” Cuomo tweeted about his former senior policy advisor. “Sid was a phenomenal public servant who worked relentlessly for the betterment of all NY’ers.”

A driver of a Toyota Corolla behind the Lyft – which was possibly a Honda Pilot – switched lanes to avoid the stopped SUV and hit Wolf who had just gotten out of the rear passenger side and was standing in the roadway.

The other five passengers were uninjured. The driver of the Toyota remained on the scene but the Lyft driver fled and is still at large.

The Lyft driver had picked up the six friends in Dewey Beach and was taking them to Bethany Beach when he “terminated the ride” after an unspecified argument. The crash happened south of Anchor Way, cops said.

Wolf was a married father of two daughters who coached youth hockey, according to Fox 5.

“This is an extremely difficult time for our family,” Wolf’s family said in a statement to the station. 

“The level of shock and pain we feel right now cannot be measured as we continue to grieve. We truly appreciate the outpouring of love and support we’ve received and kindly request that the family’s privacy is respected as we move through this process.”

Lyft told Fox it was cooperating with law enforcement’s investigation.

Disgusting: Blinken Meets Family of Killed Al Jazeera Journalist but refuses to meet with parents of Malki Roth murdered by Terrorists

 

Make no mistake this Al Jazeera was a terrorist supporter and was killed early one morning while walking around with Hamas terrorists. She was likely killed by her own people. 

Blinkin the self-hating Jew, despite have parents that were survivors, never met an antisemite he didn't adore. He is a sworn "Obamist " and hates the State of Israel.

The parents of the murdered Jewish child Malki Roth hy"d begged to meet Blinken to discuss the extradition of the Palestinian "klavta" Ahlem Ahmad Al-Tamimi from Jordan, but this Jewish Mamzer refused! 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Tuesday with the family of a Palestinian-American reporter killed while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.

The State Department said Blinken met with relatives of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh and vowed that the U.S. would demand “accountability” for her death.

“The secretary is deeply appreciative of the opportunity to meet with Shireen’s family,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters. “Not only was she an American citizen, she was a reporter whose fearless pursuit of the truth earned her the profound respect of audiences around the world.”

Price said Blinken would use the meeting “to underscore for Shireen’s family our deepest condolences on her tragic death and to reiterate the priority we attach to accountability, something we continue to discuss with our Israeli and Palestinian partners as well.”

He could not say, however, what that accountability might mean.

After reviewing investigations by Israeli and Palestinian authorities, the U.S. concluded on July 4 that Abu Akleh was likely killed by Israeli fire, although not intentionally. But it has not conclusively blamed Israel for her death and has left the question of accountability to the Israelis, prompting anger from the Palestinians and her family.

Relatives — including her brother Tony Abu Akleh, her niece Lina Abu Akleh and her nephew Victor Abu Akleh — have been seeking a meeting with President Joe Biden to make the case for pressing Israel to account for her death. Blinken invited them to visit Washington after Biden was unable to see them while on a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories earlier this month.

“We are in Washington, D.C., to insist on a thorough, credible, independent, and transparent U.S. investigation into the Israeli military’s killing of our dear Shireen,” the family said in a statement. It called the July 4 U.S. conclusion “an affront to justice” that “enabled Israel to avoid accountability for Shireen’s murder.”

“This is totally unacceptable to us,” they said. “If we allow Shireen’s killing to be swept under the rug, we send a message that the lives of U.S. citizens abroad don’t matter, that the lives of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation don’t matter, and that the most courageous journalists in the world, those who cover the human impact of armed conflict and violence, are expendable.”

2 suspects arrested in disappearance of Moishe Kleinerman

 

The police have arrested two suspects in the disappearance of 16-year-old Moishe Kleinerman, who went missing after visiting Meron on Lag B'Omer, it was cleared for publication Tuesday.

The suspects' detention has been extended by six days from today.

As the case is still subject to a gag order, the only available details about the suspects are that they were arrested seperately from each other.

Kleinerman is from the city of Modi'in Illit. He disappeared from near the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron 122 days ago.

On Tuesday morning, it was reported that there had been an additional development in the investigation.

Kleinerman's family said that "the investigating unit is in continuous contact with the parents and keeps them informed about the progress of the investigation. We see a deep commitment on the part of all those involved in the case, starting from the level of the commissioner, the district commander, the head of the District Attorney's Office, to the last police officer of the investigating unit. We trust the police to take whatever action is necessary to locate Moishe, who has been missing for 122 days, and bring him home. Accordingly, we demand that the issue not be dropped from the agenda."

Chen Hollander, the lawyer of one of the suspects, said that "In my opinion, this arrest is a completely unnecessary arrest, it is part of a fishing expedition taken as part of an investigation that did not start today, and I very much hope that my client will be released from custody as soon as possible. This is a case that did not begin one or two days ago. I believe that, as in past cases, my client will also be released from custody very quickly and this case will be behind him soon.""

Roee Attias, the lawyer of the other suspect, said: "I am very sorry for this arrest. Already from the arrest warrant it can be understood that the suspect I represent is in no way connected to the disappearance of the boy, but on the contrary - he did everything he could to help with the information he had in order to find him. There is no I have no doubt that the suspicions will be cleared up and soon he will be released with the understanding that he had no hand or foot in this matter."

Rabbi Yair Hoffman's Disingenuous Argument Against Going Up to Har Habyit

 

Rabbi Yair Hoffman is a very nice guy, but he has an agenda. He wants to make nice to his Yeshivishe followers, most of whom have been brainwashed in their agenda driven yeshivois, by agenda driven Roshei Yeshivas. 

In his halachic analysis of whether it is permitted to go up to the Har Habayis, he leaves out a very pertinent part of the puzzle. He purposely leaves out the fact that the Rambam himself actually went up to the Har Habayis with his father and brother accompanied by the then Chief Rabbi of Akko. Not only that, but every year on the anniversary of the date that he went up on the Har Habyis, he celebrated a personal Yomtov with a Seuda. The Rambam mentions his Har Habayis experience in many other letters as well. The one below is in the Rambam's own handwriting.

To those who may want to say that only the Rambam knew exactly where to go, I have two answers. A) The Rambam may hold that one can actually go on the Makon Ha'mikdash as the  Rambam adds that "I went into the Great Holy Building and I prayed there" so he must have gone into the mosque itself. B) Today we have greater knowledge where exactly the Bais Ha'Mikdash stood because of the Archaeological digs of Charles Warren in 1867, and so we know the areas on the Har Habayis that are permitted. Moreover, we have records that Jews went up to the Har Habyis after the destruction of the Second Bais Hamikdash. According to Rabbi Wein, Jews  went up to the Har Habyis during the times of the Rishonim, and not one Gadol at the time said that it was prohibited. 

The gedoilim that prohibit going on the Har Habayis may have not known of the existence of these letters. The Poiskim alive today totally ignore the Rambam's experience because none of them is brave enough to come out and discuss this. Many of these poiskim that prohibit are only prohibiting because they are afraid to antagonize the Arabs. This argument has been proven false more times than you can count. If Jews would stop going up to the Har Habayis, the Arabs would find other excuses to kill Jews. Why were they killing Jews when the Jordanians had the Har Habyis from 1948-1967, when not one Jew entered anywhere close to the Har Habyis?

Arabs don't need excuses to kill Jews, they murdered Jews before we had the Kotel, Mearas Ha'machpeilah, Kever Rachel. 

My "taaneh" to Rabbi Hoffman is that he was disingenuous in his analysis, omitting the above important ideas that directly oppose his Yeshivishe agenda to satisfy the tiger nipping at his heals. He is a coward!

Recently, it was widely reported that Ben Shapiro and others travelled to and entered he Temple Mount. While the sentiment that lies behind his action is certainly admirable in that he wishes to ensure Jewish sovereignty over har habayis, the action itself lies in stark contrast to the position of the great poskim of the generation, Rav Edelstein shlita, Rav Elyashiv zatzal, Rav Chaim zatzal, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt”l, and so many others. What follows is a halachic analysis of why we should not, at this point, be praying on the Har Habayis. The author feels bad because Ben Shapiro is someone that the author admires greatly.
