Israeli singer and songwriter Svika Pick has been found dead in his home at the age of 72. His family became concerned after he suddenly broke contact with them several hours previously and decided to investigate.
Many of Israel's senior figures have paid their respects to the departed artist. President Isaac Herzog commented: "Svika Pick renewed the Israeli cultural landscape and created a revolutionary change in it. His music penetrated hearts and became an inseparable part of the soundtrack of our lives. His extraordinary talent as a creator yielded beautiful pearls to Israeli culture. He was so Israeli and connected deeply to our rich Hebrew roots, and at the same time reflected the beauty of the face of the State of Israel in the whole world. His voice and melodies will continue to play in our loving ears for years to come. My condolences to his family and his many loved ones. May he rest in peace."
It would be an "Aveirah" to let the following pass without making any comments.!
The Israeli Yated Ne'eman want us to believe that the Roshei Yeshivas and Chassidishe Rabbanim should be trusted in their selection of candidates for the Knesset because they do not have any "personal biases" and they are choosing them based on what's good for the tzibbur and it is therefore imperative that the public go along with their recommendations and not speak against their handpicked candidates.
What Yated Ne'eman cannot explain is how is it that the Rebbe of Gur chooses a representative for his chassidus, the Rebbe of Belz chooses a representative for his Chassidim, the Rebbe of Viznitz chooses a Viznitz chasid , as for the Litvishe,the Kaniewski followers chose their own candidates, and the followers of Rabbi Gershon Eidelstein choose their own people, and all this happens without 'personal biases', everything is supposedly done as what is "best for klall Yisrael,"
Message to you guys:
Stop lying! We are not stupid!
All the Roshei Yeshivois and Chassidishe Rebbes, every single one of them, choose candidates based on what is best for their own communities and they do not base it on what's best for the general tzibbur. Absolutely!
I'll give you one example, in Ger, their representative was Litzman who entered the Knesset in 1999. Was Litzman the best candidate for the Jewish people? He was chosen by Ger because he was a Gerrer Chusid. If he were a Sadigere Chusid, the Gerer Rebbe would have chosen another candidate. The Gerer Rebbe did not choose Litzman because he was the best for the tzibbur. Proof?
When Litzman was forced to resign because he was indicted, the Rebbe immediately replaced him with Goldknup a shady guy, but that didn't matter as Goldknup is a Gerer.
The truth is that it is only natural for every Torah leader to choose someone who follows their personal viewpoint.
But stop telling us is that the candidates chosen, were chosen without any "negiois" without any biases, and this is what is best for Klall Yisrael. this isn't true, it's a lie and no one is falling for it!
In the same year, 2015, both feuding Satmar Brothers wrote editorials in their weekly yiddish newspapers also supporting the Iran deal, knowing full well that Iran vowed to destroy Israel.
How did we let them get away with these awful blood libels against the State of Israel, when the Israeli leadership was constantly warning the world against the Iranian murderers?
Why were we silent?
It's been 6 years and Iran is stepping up its game and becoming more and more dangerous. Yet, Satmar that is ראש וראשון in condemning the Zionist regime for every imagined sin, remains quiet even though over 7 million Jews live there now. It would have been decent for the feuding brothers to unite and come out with a statement to their own followers stating that they made a grave error vis-vis Iran and support their own brothers and sisters that are the target of these vicious "amaleikim," and just like they had their followers write the treasonous letters supporting Obama and his antisemitic deal with the Iranians, they should ask their chassidim to write thousands of letters to the old demented fool, Biden!
This would give us who live in Israel "Chizuk" but no, they are busy with the internet and long shaitlach. Crazy!
“The Iranian state-owned FARS News called Rushdie an ‘apostate’ who has ‘insulted the Prophet of Islam,’ ” the Washington Examiner writes.
The Daily Mail reports that a media chief close to the Supreme Leader called the attacker “courageous” and added: “Let us kiss the hands of the one who tore the neck of the enemy of God with a knife.”
Donald Trump’s team has now confirmed that Trump had a “standing order” which immediately declassified materials he would take to the residence so he could work at night.
Trump’s team said that this means any documents that were taken to Mar-A-Lago would have been declassified.
Donald Trump’s office told Just the News on Friday that the classified materials the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate were declassified under a “standing order” while he was president that allowed him to take sensitive materials to the White House residence at night to keep working.
The official statement is likely to become the focus of the president’s legal defense as the FBI and Biden Justice Department investigate whether he stole records covered under the Presidential Records Act or mishandled classified materials under the Espionage Act, allegations included in a search warrant released by a federal court in Florida on Friday.

The terrorist whoshot up the #3 bus and a caroutside the Old City of Jerusalem last night near the Kotel, wounding 8 people, including apregnant woman and her unborn child, gave himself up to police at around 8 AM on Sunday at the Moriah police station.
The 26-year-old terrorist, an Israeli-Arab citizen living in eastern Jerusalem, arrived at the police station by taxi. He turned himself in along with his weapon.
The taxi driver said he picked up the terrorist near Sharei Tzedek Medical Center. It is unknown at this point how the terrorist traversed the city from the terror scene to the hospital.
Police had held a massive manhunt for him in the Silwan neighborhood outside the Old City. Police arrested the terrorist’s family during the search.
Having been arrested alive, the terrorist will receive a guaranteed monthly salary from the Palestinian Authority and be able to study for advance college degrees while in an Israeli prison.
According to a report, four of the injured are Satmar Chasidim from the United States.
Eight people were injured, including two seriously, in a shooting attack near the Old City of Jerusalem on Saturday night.
According to initial reports, two terrorists apparently fired at a bus and fled the scene.
According to Magen David Adom, the incident took place in two different locations - on HaShalom Street near the Old City of Jerusalem, and at the entrance to the King David's Tomb parking lot.
MDA paramedics provided medical treatment to the victims and evacuated them to hospitals. Among the seriously injured victims are a pregnant woman in her 30s and a tourist from the United States.
The director of the trauma unit at Shaare Zedek Hospital, Dr. Alon Schwartz, updated on Sunday morning that the pregnant woman who was seriously injured had an emergency delivery of her baby, and that the newborn is in serious but stable condition.
Another person is hospitalized in serious condition at Shaare Zedek, and four others in light condition remain hospitalized in the emergency room.
Local residents are reporting seeing security forces searching for the terrorists in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan.
Police initially blocked the exits from the Western Wall plaza and the crowd was unable to leave the area. Later, worshipers were permitted to leave.
MDA Senior EMT Nehemia Katz and MDA Paramedic David Trachtenberg said: "We were on scene very quickly. On Ma'ale Hashalom St. we saw a passenger bus standing in the middle of the road, bystanders called us to treat two males around 30 years old who were on the bus with gunshot wounds. They were fully conscious and walking with wounds to the upper body. We provided them with lifesaving treatment and were taken to hospital by MDA ambulances that had arrived at the scene."
"From there we went to the King David's Tomb parking area and found 4 males, one aged 50 and three aged 30, all fully conscious and with gunshot wounds. A few moments later the MDA ATV brought us another victim, a woman in her 30s with gunshot wounds. We provided lifesaving treatment to the victims and conveyed them urgently to hospitals, with 2 in serious condition and 5 in mild to moderate condition."
The mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Lion, commented on the shooting attack.
"I trust the Israel Police and security forces to lay their hands on the despicable terrorist tonight. Jerusalem is stronger than any event and we will not allow any terrorist to harm the routine of life in the public sphere. The capital of Israel will continue to be a city full of life, joy and vitality," he said.
A United Nations (UN) official has been demoted after posting a tweet condemning "indiscriminate rocket fire of Islamic Jihad provoking Israel retaliation."
Sarah Muscroft, who had held a senior position in the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, provoked a wave of online controversy with her tweet, during which she praised the ceasefire that marked the end of Operation Breaking Dawn.
The Times of Israel reports that she later published a retraction reading: "One of my previous tweets was ill-informed and I have deleted it. I sincerely apologize for my poor judgment. All civilians — everywhere — must be able to live in peace," which proved insufficient to assuage those accusing her of failing to hold Israel responsible for the damages caused in the operation. She has since deleted her account entirely.
Requests for comment have been answered with an automated message that Muscroft is on leave. Officials from her office commented that she "will be assigned a new role."
i24 News reports that Israeli officials, who wished to remain anonymous, had been aware of the incident and followed it "with great interest," and called it an illustration of UN "hypocrisy" towards Israel.
Aaron Yadlin passed away last week . Yadlin was a former Israeli Knesset member for the Ma'arach, known today as the Labor party. He was extremely popular, rising to the position of Education Minister.
However, while serving in that position, he suddenly resigned.
Why?
Yadlin was a kibbutz member. His kibbutz decided that the time had come for him to do a rotation in the kibbutz industries, starting off as a dish washer (yes, a dish washer).
Yadlin accepted the decision and left his position as one of the most powerful people in the Israeli political world to because a simple worker.
They say that "truth is far better than fiction." You cannot make this stuff up!
A couple of Liska Chassidim (they only have a "couple") constructed a brand-new wall in a town that murdered its Jews, and they want you to spend your hard-earned money not to "chas ve'sholom" take a trip to the "wall"in Yerushalyim, that is over two thousand years old, and where millions of people pour their broken hearts out, but to an abandoned town in Poland whose residents shipped innocent men, women and children to their deaths!
This Ezra is the guy on Nadler's payroll that voted for the Iran deal, a deal giving murderers a license to fulfill their dangerous vow to "wipe Israel off the map"
Now he wants you to go to a "newly constructed wall"
Rumor has it that the those doing their pilgrimage to Kretsier and Uman are running scared that this new wall will take away much of their crowds.
