Chassidim Attack Rebbetzin Yemimah Mizrachi N’shei Women’s Event in Yerushalayim









 A mega-gathering of all the N’shei organizations from across Yerushalayim devolved into chaos Sunday night when a group of Eitz hardliners attacked and attempted to break up the event.

The event, which was sponsored by Eretz HaKodesh, served as inspiration and chizzuk to the 500+ women who joined and featured Rebbetzin Yamima Mizrachi as the keynote speaker, as well as music by Mrs. Mimi Luria, as well as an address from an Eretz Hakodesh representative who explained the important work that they do.

In middle of the event, a bunch of goons who had heard about it through the various flyers distributed around Yerushalayim neighborhoods, crashed the event and began making problems.

At first, the hoodlums locked the doors to the venue with cable ties, then broke down the door and began throwing objects and stink bombs at the women. They proceeded to then attempt to physically destroy the event, overturning tables and knocking down signs.

Eventually, the women were able to get the radical loons out and police arrived to ensure the safety of the attendees.

“The event went on as scheduled, and it was beautiful despite certain individuals’ attempts to stop it,” an event attendee said:

 “Ootzoo eitzah v’sufar, dabru davar v’lo yakum.”


Gedoilim Ignore Eida Hachreidis and vote !

 

Thousands accompany Roshei Yeshivah with song and dance to vote! 











 

Eida Charedit "Rabbanim" , call on followers not to vote in Israel's elections against the ruling of "Daas Torah"

 

So now I ask?

What's "Daas Torah?"

I have to laugh. I drove all over Beit Shemesh and Yeushalyim and I saw signs that "Daas Torah" dictates that everyone must go out and vote. 

The Eida Ha'chreidis, on the other hand, say that "Daas Torah" dictates that voting is equivalent to worshipping idols, and it's "yehareg ve'al yaavor."

So, which is it? 

In keeping with the usual pre-election tradition, on Sunday night a demonstration was held in Jerusalem's Meah She'arim neighborhood against Tuesday's elections.

The protest was attended by Eida Haharedit rabbis, who called on the group's members not to vote in the elections.

Participating in the protest were thousands of local residents, and speaking at the event were members of the Bais Din, as well as local leaders who constitute the Eida Haharedit communities.

In their speeches, the members of the Eida Haharedit spoke out "against the participation of haredim in the elections to the Knesset of 'heretics,'" which they also described as the "cooperation with the seculars."

They also described how the haredi community "took a right" and is "provoking the nations" on everything regarding diplomatic issues.

Following the protest, the crowd dispersed, but several dozen people went to Bar Ilan Street, clashing with security forces stationed there.

The Chareidie hoodlum who Burned Down the Cellphone Store in Geulah is from Beit Shesh

 


*Beit Shemesh News*

 A 20-year-old resident of Beit Shemesh was arrested on suspicion of setting fire to a store in Jerusalem*

Police spokeswoman: At the beginning of this month, a fire occurred in a cell phone seller's business in downtown Jerusalem. As a result of the fire, the store and the equipment inside were heavily damaged, and residents of a nearby building had to evacuate due to the smoke that was there.

The police worked to collect findings and evidence at the scene, and following the suspicion of arson, an investigation was launched. 

Tonight, the detectives of the Zion Area Crime Fighting Unit (ILF) with the assistance of Jerusalem District police officers from other units, arrested a suspect in his home, a resident of Beit Shemesh in his 20s, on suspicion of his involvement in setting fire to the store.

The suspect who was arrested was transferred to the Zion Police Station for questioning and later today he will be brought before the High Court with a request to extend his detention, the police investigation continues.

You would be very surprised where this took place

Chareidie Party Uses Verse in the Torah that requires all to go to the army to get the vote out

 

האחיכם יצאו למלחמה

ואתם תשבו פה

Moshe Rabbeinu speaking to the children of Gad and Reuvein, asked them

"? האחיכם יבאו למלחמה ואתם תשבו פה "

"You expect your brothers to go out and fight, while you sit home?"

This verse is commonly used by those serving in the IDF to those who refuse to.

"Gimel" is the party of the Chareidim and to encourage those who refuse to vote, to vote, they took this pasuk where Moshe chastises the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuvein who he thought wouldn't join his army and use it for their own selfish motives.

What chutzpah!

The very argument that Moshe used to demand army service, is being used for their election efforts.

Don't they see the irony of all this ?

Herzog tells US Jewish leaders to respect results of Israel's election


 Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke to American Jewish leaders on Monday, telling them to accept the results of Israel's Knesset election tomorrow regardless of the results.

Speaking by video to the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly in Chicago, Herzog said:

 “Dear friends, tomorrow Israelis will go out to vote. I know the frequency of elections in Israel is somewhat unnerving, and I am aware of the questions posed in many Jewish communities around the world about the outcome of the elections.”

“They are also evidence of a vibrant, dynamic democracy,” he said. “We must all recognize that the Israeli people, abundant with diversity and varying opinions, are correctly exercising their fundamental democratic right to vote."

He added: “The results may or may not be to your liking, but the vote of the Israeli people should be respected. Beyond this, I say to each and every one of you that the firm, vital connection between the State of Israel and North American Jewry will not, and should not, be compromised, whatever the results."

Herzog's statements come as several American Jewish leaders have expressed concern over the prominence of Otzma Yehudit leader MK Itamar Ben-Gvir in the current election.

“I have every confidence in the bonds we share, which run deeper than politics or shifting circumstances. We are all bigger than this," Herzog said.

Kasho Rebbe "Hochul a Rasha All DemonRats are Garbage!"

 

A scathing pre-election speech believed to given a by a prominent Chasidic rabbi slammed Governor Kathy Hochul, denouncing her as a wicked person while issuing a scathing rebuke of any religious Jew who votes for her.

The speaker is believed to be Rabbi Avraham Sholom Blum, from Williamsburg son of the late Kasho Rebbe, Rabbi Raphael Blum, Zt’l who is highly respected as a Torah scholar and for his keen understanding of politics in addition to having been extremely involved in the yeshiva education issue.

Speaking in Yiddish in recent days, the rabbi called out Hochul supporters who say that she has defended yeshivas, noting that the governor has remained quiet on the issue and has done nothing to advocate for Jewish educational institutions, and that those who say otherwise are not being truthful.

He spoke strongly against the Democratic party, decrying them as promoters of immoral behavior.

“What I don’t understand is how in the world religious Jews can vote for any Democrat, a party that indulges in the lowest behavior and all kinds of abominations,” said the rabbi.

The rabbi had equally harsh words for Jews who vote for Hochul in the hopes that she will funnel more money to yeshivas, saying that they are overlooking how New York’s State Education Department appears to be intent on destroying the Jewish educational system.

“You forget that you are a religious Jew for a few dollars,” said the rabbi.

Sharing a conversation that he once heard from a grand rabbi, the speaker spoke out strongly against the New York Times for its relentless attacks on the Chasidic and Orthodox communities. He noted that the grand rabbi referred to the newspaper as “The New York Tima,” saying that it was full of tima – filth – “because it always has something bad to say about religious Jews.”

In contrast to his views on Hochul, the rabbi praised Congressman Lee Zeldin as an ethical individual, someone who has spoken out in favor of yeshiva education even at tremendous personal cost, with liberals attacking him for his statements.

Describing Zeldin as someone who is unafraid to stand up for the truth, the rabbi said he believed that the Republican is the best choice for New York’s next governor.

Understanding that there are those who have been considering staying home on Election Day, the rabbi said that he himself had considered not voting, but then reconsidered, realizing that it is a kiddush Hashem to show appreciation to those who support the causes that matter most to the Jewish community.
