Chassidim Recruit Yaakov Shapiro an Israel Hating Liar as Their Spokesman in Albany Because he is the only one who can speak English

 

So much to say about this. The orange caps and jumpsuits 🤬 The clearly not Hasidic rabbi speaking on behalf of Hasidim to put forth a more articulate English and deliberately confuse the public 🙄

And @ShulimLeifer speaking with poise and conviction 😍 https://t.co/AQ0Lf7uBSk

 Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro has an Israel-Hating website called "Torah True Jews" which is neither "torah" nor "true"! It is dripping with such hate against Gedoilei Hador who don't or didn't agree with his anti-Zionist stance, that he must have taken it out of Der Shturmer. 

He wrote a book "The Empty Wagon" which has haskamos from rabbanim that couldn't even read English and is filled with half-truths and whole lies. 

This is the guy that they appointed as the "spokesman" for the Chassidim in Albany fighting the new curriculum imposed on yeshivois! They appointed him because apparently, he is the only guy who can speak the language.

Below are excerpts from an article written in 2018 by Rabbi Yair Hoffman reviewing his disgusting book.

Shul in New York removes smoked salmon from kiddush citing 'environmental concerns'

 

A New York synagogue has announced it will no longer offer smoked salmon at its weekly kiddush lunches.

The Upper West Side synagogue, B’nai Jeshurun, is removing the beloved fish due to environmental concerns, Rabbi Shuli Passow, the director of community engagement, said.

Rabbi Passow posted an article on the synagogue’s website listing all the changes to Kiddush for the community.

This included telling members of the shul, whose individual membership dues range from $500 to $5000 depending on income, that the popular Ashkenazi delicacy will be “eliminated from the menu so we can do our part to reduce the environmental impact of pollution and overfishing”.

She added: “We know that for some this is a heretical move. We are here to support you as you process this change.”

Rabbi Passow also declared a war on waste. “The amount of food ordered each week will be monitored and adjusted to ensure that the meal is abundant but not wasteful.”

She urged members to “think about the amount of food you actually eat at Kiddush, and fill your plate accordingly”.

In addition, she said, “starting in a few weeks, leftover food will be picked up by Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, a food rescue organisation, and donated to those in need.”

Her online article The Return of the Community Kiddush, highlighted the relaunch of the post-services tradition, which was halted during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the piece, Rabbi Passow also explained that, following consultation with synagogue members, other changes are planned, including smaller tables and chairs for younger people and ending the meal with a “song of gratitude.”

The rabbi wrote: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to pause our communal meals - a central part of how we celebrate Shabbat. Painful as it was, this interruption was an opportunity to reimagine these gatherings.

“As we began to bring back kiddush - first with snacks on the 88th Street sidewalk, then with boxed lunches on the terrace, and most recently back on the sidewalk with light fare - we informally asked everyone for their thoughts on the various adaptations. In addition, we held twenty individual conversations, and offered ways for our community to share their thoughts through several technological platforms."

After outcry on social media from some Jews online, the synagogue issued another statement, softening their stance on salmon.

In a piece published earlier today the synagogue said:" The removal of lox from our standard Kiddush menu has led to several misunderstandings we wish to clarify.

"First, we inaccurately stated that consuming lox contributes to the overfishing of salmon. Most lox is, in fact, made from farmed Atlantic salmon. We thank those who brought this error to our attention, giving us the opportunity to correct our mistake.

"Second, some felt that we implied that eating lox is immoral or that BJ is completely boycotting lox or lox providers. These could not be farther from the truth. Moreover, should anyone sponsoring Kiddush wish to include lox in the menu, they are welcome to do so."

Charedi women not afraid to step outside the box — and onto the screen

(from left): Simi Hershkop, Ofra Shimoni, Nana Halperin, Esti Socolovski and Yael Silverman.

 

Most of Simi Hershkop’s family has no idea she is starring in a new Israeli TV series.

Neither her father nor her 11 siblings use social media or have access to the internet. And due to their strained relations, she did not tell them about the cameras that have been following her around for months as part of a new HOT docu-reality show about Haredi women.

“They don’t really have any internet access. Maybe some of them know, some of them don’t, but we haven’t spoken about it,” Hershkop, 27, told The Times of Israel last week. “I think most of them probably don’t know; they’re not part of that world. And we’re not so in touch… They had a hard time with the path I chose and I fully respect that.”

Her path keeps her firmly inside the Haredi world, wearing a wig and modest clothes, sending her son to an ultra-Orthodox school and of course observing Shabbat and keeping kosher.

But Hershkop – one of the five women starring in “Bnot Brak,” a new HOT series premiering Sunday evening – is not only the proud owner of a smartphone, but she also runs the popular DosCelebs Instagram account, which highlights the intersection of religion and pop culture to its more than 70,000 followers.

Rare quarter-shekel coin handed over to State of Israel

 

The other side of the coin, featuring plants with the letter "daled" in the middle, signifying the fourth year of the revolt, in which the coin was minted.

Following a transcontinental intelligence operation by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Antiquities Trafficking Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office in New York, on Monday the US returned to Israel an extremely rare coin, the fourth of its kind known in the world, which was stolen and smuggled out of Israel years ago. It is a quarter-shekel coin made of silver, from the fourth year of the Jewish Great Revolt (66-73 CE).

The ceremony took place Monday at the office of the Manhattan District Attorney, in the presence of the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority Eli Eskozido, Consul General of Israel in New York Asaf Zamir, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and Homeland Security Deputy Special Agent in Charge Mike Alfoso.

Nope! This wasn't January 6

Ezra Friedlander's Nadler Wants to force Yeshivos to Teach Public Curriculum ... DanielGoldman another Chareidie Favorite Also on Board to force Yeshivois

 

What is it with the askanim that are always on the wrong side of history? 

Ezra Friedlander who was on Nadler's payroll wrote an op-ed defending the Iran Deal. Both Satmar Brothers defended the Iran Deal. Even though they are feuding they have achdus to support their "girlfriend" Hochul. They also endorsed San Goldman. I "bolded" the relevant sentences in the article below.

Top New York officials voiced grave concerns about the quality of education in Hasidic Jewish private schools on Monday, a day after The New York Times revealed that many of the schools taught only rudimentary English and math and virtually no science or history 

Two Democratic congressmen — Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Hakeem Jeffries, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus — said they had serious concerns, with Mr. Nadler saying it was clear that some of the Hasidic schools were “utterly failing.”

“It is a paramount duty of government to make sure that all children — whether it’s those educated in parochial, private or public schools — are provided a quality education,” said Mr. Nadler, the senior Jewish member of the House, whose current district encompasses a major Hasidic neighborhood. “It is our duty to all New York students to ensure that the law is enforced.”

Mr. Jeffries, who represents parts of central Brooklyn, called for “a rigorous inquiry in order to make sure that the health and well-being of all children is protected.”

Daniel Goldman, who recently won a contested Democratic primary for a new congressional seat that includes Hasidic areas in Brooklyn, said he hoped the schools would work to comply with the law, adding that the Times report “paints a damning picture of an inadequate secular education that does not comply with state law.”

Lee Zeldin Defends Yeshivas, Opposes Secular Education Guidelines Yet all moisdois endorse Hochol

 

At a press conference Monday in Manhattan, Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin defended yeshivas against the state’s proposal to invade and revamp curriculums.

Zeldin also blasted Governor Hochul for refusing to take a position on the issue. Dov Hikind joined the rally, and supporters in the background held signs that said “Democrats for Zeldin.”

Yitzchok Biton, killed riding an electric scooter

 

A tragedy occurred in Israel early Monday morning when Yitzchak Biton, z’l, was killed after being hit by a car while riding an electric scooter in Afula.

The niftar, only 25, left behind a wife and two small children, the younger one only a month old.

Yitzchak, z’l, who grew up in Akko, was the grandson of Hatzaddik Hamekubal Reb Avraham Biton, z’tl. As a bochur, he learned under HaGaon HaRav Eliyahu Abba Shaul, z’tl in Yeshivah Ohr Tzion in Yerushalayim.

Yitzchak, z’l, who had recently moved to Afula with his family, worked as a mashgiach kashrus in Haifa for his parnassah and was makpid likvoa itim l’Torah every day. Before moving to Afula, he worked as a volunteer in a Talmud Torah in Akko and prior to that, volunteered in Netivot.

He was buried on Monday afternoon in Akko.

Sadly, there have been numerous injuries and deaths in Israel caused by electric scooters in recent times, including an incident on Sunday night in Bat Yam, when a man riding an electric scooter suffered a serious head injury in an accident. Several months ago, HaGaon HaRav Bentzion Mutzafi, a leading Sefardic Posek in Eretz Yisroel, called electric scooters “horrible killing devices.”
