Lieberman Offered Him $100,000 To Kill Police Officer : Former Advisor

 

A former Yisrael Beiteinu activist and adviser of Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman publicly accused his former boss of offering him $100,000 to murder an assistant police commissioner and other criminal dealings.

The ex-adviser, Yossi Kamisa, wrote in a social media post: “Who are you, Mr. Lieberman?” As someone who was your former assistant, shall we continue to tell who you are? I wrote a post about you two years ago and called you the head of a criminal organization. You were afraid to respond or file a libel suit.”

“I’m turning to Madam Attorney-General [Gali Baharav-Miara] – you have intelligence information on your desk for over a month about a politician who suggested murdering a police commissioner but there is silence in the prosecutor’s department. The question is why?! Politics? I suggest to you, Madam – invite Lieberman and me to a lie detector test.”

Eida Hachchreidis Slaps Their Own "Raavad" Moshe Shternbuch in the face and will NOT appoint him as "Gaavad"

 


As we reported many times before that the Eida Hachardis is in a civil war. They hate and despise their very own leader Rav Moshe Shternbuch the "Raavad" of the Eida Hachareidis.

When the co-leader of the Eida, R' Tuvia Weiss passed on, all thought that the Eida would naturally appoint R' Moshe S as the new Gaavad in his place, but they voted and 25 voted against his appointment and only 14 voted for him. 

Their official announcement was that they will wait 12 months to appoint a new Gaavad., hoping that R' Moshe will Chas Ve'Sholom pass on as he is in his 90's, because as long as he is alive, they cannot replace R' Tuvia Weiss z"l, because that would obviously trigger and cause a violent response from Sternbach's supporters. 
Below is a "paskeveil" celebrating R' Shterbach's defeat!



 
עורי עורי לבשי עזך ציון, לבשי בגדי תפארתך ירושלים עיר הקדש, כי לא יוסיף יבא בך עוד...
התנערי מעפר קומי שבי ירושלים התפתחו מוסרי צוארך, שביה בת ציון 
מה נאוו על ההרים רגלי מבשר, משמיע שלום, מבשר טוב, משמיע ישועה, אמר לציון מלך אלקיך  
קול צפיך נשאו קול, יחדיו ירננו, כי עין בעין יראו, בשוב ה' עמו גאל ירושלים, 
חשף ה' את זרוע קדשו, לעיני כל הגוים, וראו כל אפסי ארץ את ישועת אלקינו  (הפטרה פר שופטים)

על בשורות טובות אומרים ברוך הטוב והמטיב 
בכל מדינה ומדינה, ובכל עיר ועיר, מקום אשר הבשורה הגדולה הגיע, 
שהגרמ''ש לא נבחר לכהן כגאב''ד ירושלים,
 שמחה וששון ליהודים,


ביום שני בערב הגיע הידיעה המשמחת לכל יראי השם בכל קצווי תבל
 שזמם הרעה, של המחוצפים, להכתיר בכוח, את הגרמ''ש לכהן כגאב''ד לכל מקהלות האשכנזים, נחלה כישלון גדול,  
כשרוב רובו של חברי הנהלת העדה החרדית התנגדות למינוי, למרות כל הטרור והלחצים על חברי 
הנהלה, ועל מנהלי מוסדות עטה''ק,

Gingrich: Trump Will Be Indicted for Mishandling Classified Info

 

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich predicted Thursday night that Donald Trump will be indicted by the Justice Department over allegations that he mishandled top-secret classified documents.

“You have corruption from the Attorney General, to the head of the FBI, to senior elements of the FBI,” he said. “You have collusion from a wide range of the intelligence community. You had, I think it was 50 some intelligence senior officials who signed a letter last year that we now know is a total lie, none of whom have recanted.”

“I fully expect the Justice Department to indict President Trump in a DC court, a district where he got 5.6 percent of the vote. So by 19 to one, the jury is likely to be against him.”

“I have no idea what’s going to happen next,” he added. “I’m a historian by training and I tell everybody you have to assume that nothing, you know, tells you anything about how corrupt and how sick this is going to get. Because you get have fanatic who represent a secular religion who are determined to destroy not just Trump but Trump’s followers. They could do almost anything. We have no way of knowing what the next six months or two years are going to bring.”

Angry man smears half of the people of the country he is supposed to lead

 

 In a rare primetime speech, President Biden trashed the millions of Trump supporters who call themselves MAGA Republicans.

In the divisive speech, Biden the self-proclaimed “unifier” accused MAGA supporters of an “extreme ideology” that essentially threatens “the very foundations of our republic.”

In addition, some were outraged that the stage design and tone of the speech was reminiscent of evil regimes like the Nazis.

Meir Kin Will Not Be Able to Bury His Father in Israel Should he Drop Dead Unless He Gives His Wife a Get

 


Daniel Schwartz, Chaya Lonna and the Yad LaIsha lawyers Pnina Omer, Morah Dayan , Yifah Blonder, at the Supreme Court. July 2022.

Israel’s Chief Rabbinate Council on Thursday ruled that in difficult cases of get refusal, the burial of the refuser’s relatives must be banned until he grants the get. The decision followed the discussions in a difficult case in which the aguna wife has been stranded for more than 18 years in the US, while her husband succeeded in marrying another woman in California in 2014.

The aguna, Haya Lana, appealed many times to the rabbinical courts in the US, but the husband insisted on refusing to grant her the get and didn’t even bother to show up for the hearings while enjoying his new marital life. In August, Haya Lana submitted a request to the Chief Rabbinate via attorneys Daniel Schwartz and Avraham Ben-Zvi, for an order that as long as the get is not granted, the transfer of bodies and burial in Israel of the husband and his relatives, including his father who is on his deathbed, must be banned.

New entrance to Yerushalayim opens

 





A new entrance to Jerusalem, Route 16, opened Wednesday and is expected to significantly ease traffic, providing speedy travel between Route 1 and the city’s southern neighborhoods.

Inaugurated on Wednesday by government officials, the six-kilometer (3.7 mile) section connects motorists from Route 1 — the main highway connecting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv — directly into the Givat Mordechai neighborhood.

The road, consisting of four tunnels and seven bridges, also includes 50,000 acres of newly landscaped territory featuring bike paths, walking paths, picnic areas and observation points overlooking the Jerusalem hills.

Sharansky: Gorbachev wouldn’t have released Soviet Jews if not for global pressure

 

Nice article but there is one thing missing! The giant elephant in the room!

Meir Kahana!
It was Rabbi Meir Kahana that put the plight of the Soviet Jews on the front pages of the New York Slimes!
It was Rabbi Meir Kahana that put pressure on all the Major Jewish Organizations to make this agenda a priority and to advocate for Soviet Jews living behind the Iron Country to bring the issue to Washington DC and to Congress!

I remember that the Gedoilim were against Kahana's ideas to make their plight public. I distinctly remember that the Gedoilim would not allow Yeshiva Students to attend any of Meir Kahana's rallies on behalf of Soviet Jews. They were content with sending care packages to Soviet Jews and sending them Marzos for Pesach. They felt that it was far better to negotiate secretly. This did not move the needle at all and was a dismal failure. 

When the Jews were finally allowed to leave, they thanked Rabbi Kahana publicly and not one had a bad word to say about him. I live in Beit Shemesh and there are many Jews living in my neighborhood that lived under the Communist Tyranny, and they all give credit to his initiatives and his tireless selfless work to get them the freedom that they so deserved. 
I had the honor to meet Sharanski on many occasions and whenever he spoke he mentioned Rabbi Meir Kahana.
I know that the good rabbi will not get recognition for this work in particular, from the leftists politicians, but wouldn't it be prudent for frum Jews to be "makir tov" and give credit where credit is due? Or am I asking too much?
