Rabbi Yitzhak Tuvia Weiss ztz"l, the head of the Eidah Hachareidit, has passed away

 

The Ga'avad of the Eidah Hachareidit of Jerusalem, the head of the haredi Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem, Rabbi Yitzhak Tuvia Weiss ztz"l, has passed away at the age of 95.

Rabbi Weiss had been hospitalized in serious condition for several days before passing away during Shabbat, in Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in the capital.

A decision regarding the time of the funeral will be made shortly; it will be held either on Saturday night or on Sunday.

Rabbi Weiss served as Ga'avad for 19 years, moving to Jerusalem from Belgium in order to take on the position. He was born in what was then Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia), and escaped the Holocaust by being placed on the famous Kindertransport and arriving in London, where he remained for many years, becoming a prominent rosh kollel and later the rabbi of the Etz Chaim synagogue.

Rabbi Weiss moved to Antwerp where he lived for 37 years and became a dayan (rabbinical judge) on the Antwerp Beit Din (rabbinical court). In 2003, he was selected as Ga'avad of the Eidah Hachareidit of Jerusalem, to replace his predecessor, Rabbi Yisrael Moshe Dushinsky ztz"l.

May his memory be for a blessing.

Political correctness helped turn monkeypox into a global emergency

 Watch as the cannot say the word "Gay" when it comes to Monkeypox

BREAKING: Lesbians, straight men, straight women, elderly monkeys, incels, and unpopular gay men have low risk of monkeypox. https://t.co/4HCGNzE4LK

 In late May, Conde Nast’s LGBT site them.us went out of its way to distance a nascent viral scourge known as monkeypox from the main demographic who was catching it — gay men. 

The piece headlined, “The Monkeypox Virus Is Affecting Queer Men, but Has Nothing to Do With Being Queer,” stated that “while a large fraction of those infected in [the] current global outbreak identify as gay or bisexual men… there is no correlation between the identity and the illness.

“Blaming the gay community or gay behavior,” it concluded, “is not sound public health.”

Last week, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a full-scale global emergency as the disease has spread rapidly in just three months. In late May, 100 people reportedly had the virus; now there are more than 18,000 cases worldwide, with nearly 4,000 in the US alone, according to the CDC. 

New York state is also now calling monkeypox an “imminent threat.”What you need to know about Monkeypox

Anyone know this guy?

 By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for 5tjt.com

The person pictured above, Mordechai Ovadia, has left his wife without a Get for ten years.  He has been missing for the past eight years.  His wife has no way of contacting him.  There is a Seruv out on him, and he appears in the weekly column of the Jewish Press of those under a Seruv.  But unless someone who knows where he is reaches out, then Mrs. Ovadia will be stuck- never to be able to halachically remarry.

Recalcitrant husbands and their supporters must ask themselves – is this what Hashem wants?   Do they and their supporters want Jewish women, particularly those who are dedicated to observing Jewish law, to suffer more than other women in their position?  Ten years is an incredibly long time.

Also, what have they accomplished over all of this time?  Have they enamored themselves to their children?  To others?  Have they created Kiddush hashem?

So please, if you do see him or know where Mordechai Ovadia is – contact one of the organizations that deals with these things such as  https://www.thelev.org/  or  Ora – https://www.getora.org/contact

Chareidim told by Jordanian Border Guards to cut of their Peyos before Entering Jordan

I have to laugh.

 Chareidim hate the Zionist Government and would rather live under the Jordanian Government. In fact a big rebbe wrote a sefer where he suggests that Eretz Yisrael should be either under the UN auspices or under Jordanian rule. What an idea! Some people today repeat this nonsense. 

A group of Haredi tourists denied entry into Jordan on Tuesday claim that they were humiliated by the Jordanian border guards, who demanded that they cut off their payos [sidelocks]. However, the Israel Airports Authority (IAA), which oversees the Yitzhak Rabin Crossing, claims that group members were “disruptive” and attempted to bring food across the border in violation of a Jordanian ban.

The group was on its way to visit Jebel Haroun, traditionally believed to be the burial place of Aaron the High Priest.

The IAA put out a statement saying that “A group of Haredi Israelis were not allowed into Jordan because of disruptive behavior at the border crossing to Jordan in response to Jordan’s refusal to allow them to bring food with them. “Despite warnings by border terminal staff, they decided to take the food with them,” the IAA said.

Haim Goldberg, a writer and photographer for the Haredi news site Kikar HaShabbat, said that the Jordanians on duty at the border crossing told the group that only after they cut off their peyot [sidelocks] would they be allowed into the country.

“I’m with a group of Haredim who are stuck at the Jordanian border, and what’s happening here is delusional,” wrote Goldberg.

“We arrived at the crossing on time, but the moment the Jordanians picked up we were Jewish, the trouble started. The Jordanians are trying to ask people to cut off their peyot. Everyone here is undergoing humiliating searches, while those who don’t look Jewish are allowed to cross without any problem. The only disturbance at the Jordanian border that the IAA spokesman talked about in the press release was by the Jordanians, who use force against anyone who takes pictures or wants to,” he continued.

Every year, a few hundred Haredim visit Jordan at the beginning of the Hebrew month of Av to take part in a modest ceremony honoring Aaron, Moses’s older brother and the first High Priest. Long-standing tradition holds that Aaron is buried at Jebel Haroun in southwest Jordan, near Petra.

Tuesday’s incident was not the first time the Jordanians have allegedly refused entry to visitors clearly identifiable as Jews by their dress or ritual objects.

Rabbi Yaakov Herzog, who calls himself the rabbi of Saudi Arabia, posted a video in which he explains that Jewish visitors can bring tefillin and prayer shawls into Jordan, despite them being banned.

“This week is the yahrtzeit of Aaron the High Priest, and of course people want to go to Jordan to visit his grave,” said Herzog. “You know that frequently, the Jordanians make problems over tefillin, prayer books and other Jewish items. I was at the border this week and they tried to do the same thing to me. I insisted, I sat with them for hours, and I proved they have no law about that,” he said.

 

London Community Hires Guards with Dogs to Protect their Eirav from the "eirav rav"

 

The Chareidie extremists are becoming bolder and bolder, because the "oilim goilim" would just ignore them and say that they are just a bunch of "mashigaim." 

In Israel they damage equipment worth millions of shekels, equipment that is used to build the Light Rail. They block traffic every single day. The inmates have taking control of the asylum. This is happening because the silent majority does absolutely nothing. It is going to get a lot worse if we don't eradicate these parasites from our midst.

ובערת הרע מקרבך

In London, these bearded "eirav rav" don't want the community to live in harmony. If you don't hold from the Eiruv, don't carry. What is it your business if someone else has their own poisik that ruled that the eiruv is just fine?

If a goy would have ripped down the eiruv, we would all be screaming. 

Time to take back the streets from these barbarians. 

With the outbreak of coronavirus, an Eiruv was established in the Tottenham district of London for the first time, due to the need to make minyanim in unfamiliar places which did not previously have an eiruv.

The eiruv was established by the Kedassia Beis Din of London which provided halachic authority for the eiruv. However due to pressure from various groups opposing the eiruv, the Kedassia decided to delay the establishment of the eiruv. However those who initiated the eiruv said that it was already running and found another rabbi who is an expert in eiruvin to provide authorization for it.

The Kedassia requested a two-week break to add extra stringencies to the eiruv and afterwards the eiruv continued to exist for the past two years despite some incidents of vandalism by extremist elements.

Currently there are some 1800 chareidi families in the Tottenham district. Initially only women would carry but now almost everyone including Satmar and Bobov chasidim use the eiruv.

The Kedassia eiruv relies on two parks and a river nearby to create three mechitzos (borders) and make the eiruv even more halachically valid. However there are three streets which fall outside the three mechitzos and required a separate solution. These streets made their own eiruv in the meantime until Kedassia found a solution for them. However Kedassia did not like the ad hoc eiruv and some extremist elements affiliated with Kedassia attempted to vandalize the eiruv. In response, local residents hired a guard company to protect the eiruv.

In another situation which arose in the neighborhood, a local woman not included in the “three mechitzos” who needed an eiruv established one on her own street with the help of certain local rabbis and hired a company with guard dogs to protect the eiruv. Local elements opposed to the new eiruv removed the wooden board at the entrance to the street but the woman placed it minutes before shabbos and this enabled her and the other residents to carry on shabbos, although there were a number of arguments and fights between those who opposed the eiruv and those who favored it.

The London askanim are working hard to solve the problem and establish the final borders of the eiruv to include those streets which are not part of the three mechitzos. This will hopefully defuse tensions between those who favor eiruv and those who oppose it.

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. "
