Bear enters Carlebach Shul in Pomona and doesn't like that the Bima is not in the middle

 



A bear in apparent search of a minyan entered the Ohr Shlomo Chasidic Center, aka the Carlebach Shul, in Pomona near Monsey on Sunday night, walked around for a bit, and upon finding nobody to join him, left, but not before trying to figure out why the bima wasn't in the middle like other frum shuls.

Being near wooded areas, bears are not uncommon sightings around the shul, but a bear in the shul isn’t an everyday occurrence. In this case, someone left a door to the shul’s teen minyan room open, providing the oversized mammal with an opportunity to get inside.

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.
