Belzer Rebbe Mocks Satmar Rebbe by Visiting with President Herzog

 

R' Zalman Leib, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg suggested that the Belzer Rebbe is an "apikoras" for taking money from the "Medina" this past week. The Belzer has a long memory and remembers very well when Satmar called him "ym"s a word reserved for Hitler ym"s when he visited Boro Park some 40 years ago. Yesterday the Belzer Rebbe met with the Zionist leader the Honorary President Herzog in apparent slap at the Satmar Rebbe's 'Naarishe" drasha that was filled with "shteesim and havalim." 

Israeli President Issac Herzog met with the Belzer Rebbe at his home on Wednesday.

UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler also participated in the meeting.The two discussed a variety of topics, including Ahavas Yisrael, especially during Bein Hameitzarim.

Herzog gifted the Rebbe with a biography of his illustrious grandfather, Chief Rabbi HaRav Yitzchak HaLevi Herzog, which includes an account of the rescue of the Belzer Rebbe HaRav Aharon of Belz and his brother, Rav Mordechai of Bilogray, from Nazi Europe.

Rav Herzog was instrumental in obtaining the necessary documents for the Rebbe’s entry to Eretz Yisrael. When the Rebbe finally reached Aleppo, Syria, HaRav Herzog, who was then on a secret trip to Turkey to rescue Jewish children, especially arranged the trip so he could greet the Rebbe in Aleppo, where he was again instrumental in assisting the Rebbe by intervening with the Syrian authorities.

Rabbi Mutzafi: 99% Of Beggars Aren’t Paupers, Hoard Money For Themselves

 

DIN: I don't agree with the rabbi, I believe giving to anyone who stretches out his arm . A shekel won't hurt anyone.

 During a question-and-answer session which took place Wednesday night with Rabbi Bentzion Mutzafi, a prominent Sephardi posek, he was asked about giving charity to beggars.

The woman who asked said that she tries to be tight on expenses and to maintain caution in spending her husband’s hard-earned money. However her husband gives money to every beggar and buys things for others who promise to return them and sometimes forget to. She asked whether her husband is obligated to give to beggars.

Rabbi Mutzafi responded that “99% of those who beg for money are not paupers and don’t use the money, they have ‘hoarding syndrome’ and like ants gathering food, they wish to accumulate money for themselves.”

Rabbi Mutzafi added that “more than two thirds of them use the money for alcohol, drugs and other evil vices, may G-d save us from them. It is forbidden to give them any money.”

 

Suspect named in case of missing child Moishe Kleinerman

 

The name of a suspect in the case of missing teenager Moishe Kleinerman was cleared for publication Thursday. The suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Jerusalem resident Salmon Abramov,

Three suspects have been arrested in the case so far. The names of the other two suspects have not been cleared for publication. On Monday, the Judea and Samaria District police arrested the third suspect, who has been known to hang out in the area around Meron where Moishe was seen. He was interrogated throughout the night, but did not provide any information that led to any new developments in the case.

Moishe Kleinerman, a 16-year-old boy from Modi'in Ilit, has been missing for 124 days, since Lag B'Omer when he visited Meron, where the grave of the Talmudic sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai is located.

Last week, Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said: "We will not give up until we discover what happened to Moshe and where he is. The Israeli police, as in any case of a missing person, certainly one who is at risk, invests a great deal of effort in trying to locate him. "

"The Judea and Samaria District is carrying out,, together with all relevant factors, all the necessary actions. This is a complex investigation that began with a report of his disappearance, and although he has been seen in the Meron area in the past, we do not rule out any place around the country where he may be and in our working assumptions all directions are being examined. The starting point is that Moishe is alive. We will continue our efforts to locate him and invest large forces to this effect alongside the other tasks of the Israel Police. "

Zelensky the Ukrainian Going After the Jews Now

 

Three powerful and prominent Jews in Ukraine appear to have had their citizenship stripped as their long-simmering conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky has reached a boiling point amid the war with Russia. Last week, Zelensky reportedly either revoked or took steps to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of two of the country’s best known oligarchs, Igor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Korban, as well as that of Vadim Rabinovich, a former tycoon turned opposition lawmaker.

The three men are among the wealthiest Jews in Ukraine, and the official reason for the move appears to be that they hold foreign citizenship — including in Israel. Dual citizenship is technically illegal in Ukraine but is widely tolerated in practice.

Several alternate theories are also circulating, including that Zelensky is purging oligarchs with checkered pasts in an effort to prove to the United States and other Western countries that Ukraine has no tolerance for corruption.

Bein Hazmanim Starts in Bnei Brak with Blocking Traffic for Innocent Fellow Jews

 No one knows what the protest was all about, but it doesn't really matter since they have no idea what to do with their free time. They cannot surf the internet, they cannot own smartphones, they cannot swim or do exercize so why not disrupt the lives of their fellow Jews in the spirit of the upcoming 9 days. 

In the video below towards the end you can see some chassidim get out of their stopped vehicles to knock the crap out of them

Parents of boy killed in Car Accident Claim That This Was a Deliberate Act of Arab Terrorism

 

The six-year-old boy who was killed in an accident on Highway 60 near the Ma’ale Levona junction on Wednesday evening is Matan Zinman from the town of Shvut Rachel in the Binyamin region.

Matan was supposed to begin first grade in a month.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a Palestinian Arab vehicle crossed into the opposite lane and collided head-on with the vehicle in which Zinman was traveling with his mother and three brothers.

The mother, Rivka Zinman, and her four children were all evacuated for treatment at hospitals in Jerusalem. Matan arrived at the hospital in critical condition. Doctors fought for hours to save his life, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

The mother is in moderate condition, a 12-year-old girl is in serious condition, a 10-year-old boy is moderately injured and a six-month-old baby is lightly injured.

Rivka Zinman, who was driving the car with her children, said from the hospital on Wednesday evening, "We were driving on Highway 60 to a family gathering in Ariel. Suddenly a white Palestinian car emerged from the opposite lane and sped in front of me. I slowed down but the Palestinian car sped up. I realized it was going to hit me head-on and I was unable to stop. The collision was at an enormous speed. I lost my Matan to Arab terrorism on the road."

The professional teams of the Binyamin Regional Council and the community of Shvut Rachel are looking after the needs of the family and the community. Social workers are accompanying the family members in the various hospitals.

Rabbi Shalom Cohen who Called Kipa Seruga Wearing Jews .."amaleikim" now wants Yeshivois to throw out Students who have a Smartphone

 

Rabbi Cohen is the leading Sephardi Rabbi and is also the Rosh Yeshiva of the Porat Yosef and Avnei Nezer Yeshivois but what is important to mention is that he is the spiritual leader of Shas the Sephardie political party founded by R' Ovadia Yosef z"l.

He is known to make outrageous comments such as stating that Frum Jews that are Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois who wear Tefillin every day and who scrupulously observe mitzvois but who wear a knitted wool kipah, are "amaleikim."

 In 2014, at a "Yom Tefilah" rally during the Israel-Gaza conflict, he told the open-mouthed soldiers that were starving for some words of chizuk  "Do you think that Israel needs an army?" this during a war that killed 85 young IDF soldiers and wounded 2,639 some with lifelong injuries.

 He also issued a "fatwa" prohibiting Chareidie woman from undertaking post-high-school studies at academic colleges.

Now what's interesting is that if you asked any Satmar Chasid or Toldos Aaron Chassidim what they think of Rabbi Cohen, they would un-doubtedly answer that he is a "meen and apikoras" since he is the leader of the Shas Party that sits in the Zionist Knesset that Satmar call a "gathering of meenin and apikorsim"

So why did he make this comment at this time? 

Rabbi Cohen, as we saw above, cannot control himself and "shoots from the hip" so to speak, and doesn't want anyone recording his outrageous comments. 

Ahead of the new school year, Avnei Nezer Yeshiva dean Rabbi Zamir Cohen met with the head of Shas' Council of Torah Sages, yeshiva dean Rabbi Shalom Cohen, who warned of the "dangers of technology" in the yeshiva world.

"A young man who has an iPhone should be removed from the yeshiva, since this is the root of all the corruption and damage to all the students in the yeshiva, and even to the desecration of Shabbat (the Sabbath), my G-d spare us, stem from this," Kikar Hashabbat quoted Rabbi Cohen as saying.

Advocates for secular ed in Yeshivas file another complaint against DOE

 

Advocates for improving secular education in yeshivas are upping the pressure on New York City to release findings from its yearslong investigation into Hasidic schools.

Young Advocates For Fair Education, or YAFFED, filed a formal complaint this month demanding the city Department of Education publicly acknowledge if its investigation has concluded or is ongoing.

“It’s time for the city to come clean on the status of this investigation and to begin enforcing these basic standards in all schools,” said Naftuli Moster, founder and executive director of YAFFED, at a press conference Wednesday.

The complaint was filed July 13 with the New York State Education Department. It demands to see records and remediation plans from the DOE, and also alleges the department’s apparent inaction “harms parents and students of the named schools by depriving them of the ability to make informed decisions with respect to education.”

Donna Lieberman of the New York Civil Liberties Union and State Sen. Robert Jackson were among the leaders to call for more transparency on Wednesday — seven years since YAFFED filed its first complaint alleging dozens of yeshivas failed to offer basic academics.

Earlier this summer, a New York state judge ruled that city and state education agencies must complete their investigations into the yeshivas. The decision came as a number of religious schools have sent 180,000 letters to the education department opposing draft guidelines for increased state oversight into the institutions.

The DOE declined to comment on “ongoing investigations and litigation” — while state education officials said it could not comment on pending appeals that Commissioner Betty Rosa oversees.
