Israel Police will take a statement from a second woman who claims that Rabbi Zvi Tau raped her decades ago, seeking to bolster allegations against the politically connected religious leader.

The second woman, who has been named in media only as Dorit, is expected to speak with investigators on Tuesday. Though the alleged incident happened too long ago to prosecute, her testimony may help support that of another woman who also accuses Tau of sexual assault.

Multiple women have accused Tau of sexual abuse and rape dating back decades, with two going public so far.

Tau, 85, is the head of the influential Har Hamor Yeshiva in Jerusalem, as well as the spiritual leader of the anti-LGBT Noam political party, which won a single seat in the next Knesset as part of the far-right Religious Zionism slate.

The police initially asked Dorit to come to the Hebron police station in the southern West Bank, which is handling the case. At her request, they agreed to meet with her at a station closer to her home in the northern West Bank,

The first woman, Nechama Te’ena, went public in August, but her allegations were largely ignored at the time by the police and the media. In recent weeks, she has staged small protests outside the Knesset, accusing Tau of raping her and others, and demanding to know why the Israel Police have refused to investigate.

Last week, Dorit also accused Tau of assaulting her in a video testimony recorded in her home. After viewing the video, several prominent rabbis called for Tau to be investigated. Police said Sunday that they will set up a special team to handle the case.

American Jews didn’t want Netanyahu. Now that they have him, they want him to govern in the opposite manner from which he pledged to govern.

 

American Jews have every right to complain about, lament, oppose and even support the policies of the Israeli government. 

What happens here affects Jews in the Diaspora and for many American Jews, their whole Jewish identity is subsumed by the Jewish state. Threats to divorce the State of Israel are heartfelt but hollow because, shorn of Torah and mitzvot, Israel remains for many their only link to Jewishness. Their right to attempt to influence policy is assumed, as is the right of Israelis to consider what they have to say or to ignore it because we are a sovereign country that makes its own decisions.

DIN Wishes Both Ukraine and Russia "Hatzlacha" in Their War

Let them wipe each other off soon, but like R' Yoelish Teitelbaum z"l wrote in his book "Al Hagilah" in reference to his wish that the State of Israel collapses," I pray that Jewish blood be spared." 

 Israel condemned Ukraine’s decision to vote in favor of an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations last Friday, as Kyiv continues to pressure the Jewish state to provide it with advanced weaponry.

On Friday, Israeli ambassador to Ukraine, Michael Brodsky, took Kyiv to task after the Ukrainian delegation to the United Nations voted in favor of a draft resolution in the General Assembly’s Special Political and Decolonization Committee backed by the Palestinian Authority’s delegation.

Brodsky took to Twitter shortly after the vote, calling Ukraine out over its U.N. vote.

“Ukraine’s support of the UN resolution ‘Israeli Practices’, denying Jewish ties to Temple Mount and calling for ICJ advisory opinion is extremely disappointing. Supporting anti Israeli initiatives in the UN doesn’t help to build trust between Israel and Ukraine,” Brodsky tweeted.

The resolution, which passed the committee by a margin of 98 to 17 with 52 abstentions, accused Israel of denying Palestinian Arabs the right to self-determination, negated Israel’s historical connection to the Temple Mount, and urged the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to render an opinion against Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria.

The countries that voted with Israel in opposing the resolution were Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Liberia, Lithuania, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and the United States.

American Jews, get out now!

 

It’s not like me to be an alarmist, but I’ve been thinking about something for months, maybe years. As time passes, it’s become increasingly clear that the worst-case scenario is about to happen.

The Jewish people outside of Israel must step back and examine their reality.

Too many things are happening at once that point to the fact that the s**t is about to hit the fan.

This isn’t new. It’s been going on for years, escalation after escalation. But over the past few months, it’s reached the point of no return.

It’s just too much to ignore.

Time for Jews to Dump the ADL

 

Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets (L) and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt (R)

Which of these two individuals do you find more problematic?

Kyrie Irving, a kooky basketball player who believes that the Earth is flat, that JFK was shot by bankers, that the COVID vaccines were secretly a plot to connect all Black people to a supercomputer, and that Jews worship Satan and launched the slave trade?

Or Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, who accepted $500,000 from Irving last week without even meeting or even talking to the all-star—and who was then forced to give back the donation when Irving blatantly refused to apologize?

Let’s think about it for a minute. One of these guys is a weirdo with dumb opinions he may or may not actually believe. The other is running a soulless racket which just made it clear that you can say whatever you want about the Jews and buy your indulgences at a discount price.

Don’t get me wrong: I absolutely believe that Irving’s endorsement of a Black nationalist documentary based on an obscure Jew-hating book, to say nothing of Kanye West’s meltdown, will most likely contribute to a surge in antisemitism in America, particularly in the Black community.

 But we Jews don’t control Kyrie Irving; in theory, we do control the ADL, and we shouldn’t want our chief defense group to behave in a way that advances antisemitic conspiracy theories about shadowy Jews trafficking in money and influence for fun and profit.

All of this leads to one sorry conclusion: 

Liberman Wants Lapid to Fire Chief Rabbi Yosef

 

\

Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman called on Prime Minister Lapid to “fire” chief rabbi Yitzchak Yosef after he called for the Knesset to legislate an override clause against the Supreme Court. Liberman claimed that the chief rabbi’s political intervention is not his first, as he called a few days ago to raise the allotments for Avreichim to three or four times their current level. [During the current negotiations it was announced that the government allotments for Avreichim will be doubled to 1350 NIS- about $400]

Shas leaders mocked Liberman’s demand, stating that “he will have five years to complain about what happens in the government, he will attack and fulminate in an ugly manner and we will continue to act. Nobody will silence the Rishon Letzion {Rabbi Yosef].”

UTJ leader Yitzchak Goldknopf said that “I wish to express sharp protest against the scathing words of the departing Finance Minister against Rabbi Yosef Shlita. This person, who constantly berated and incited against an entire community shouldn’t attempt to restrict the free speech of others, especially not that of a Rabbi in Israel.

“I remind Liberman that the elections are over, in the few days you still have in the ministry try and mitigate the damage you have caused in your short term there instead of making superfluous provocations.”

Rabbi Yosef spoke in his weekly shiur about the fact that new appointments could not be made for neighborhood rabbis because the Supreme Court demanded that reform rabbis also be appointed. He said that the override law should be passed and establish that only orthodox rabbis be appointed in contravention of the court.

Rabbi Yosef also called for the amendment of the Law of Return, since “there are now 32 religious and chareidi Knesset members, which has never occurred previously.”

Israeli Chareidie Media Mock Satmar & Skver for voting for "Same Sex Marriage" Candidate a "Torah Abomination"

 

סערה בקהילה היהודית בניו יורק: קהילות סאטמר וסקווירא בניו יורק, הנחשבות לקנאיות ולקיצוניות ביותר, הפרו את הקונצנזוס היהודי לגבי 'בחירות האמצע' שהתקיימו השבוע בארה"ב, והצביעו בעד המועמדות הדמוקרטית קאת'י הוקול לתפקיד מושלת מדינת ניו יורק, שמוצגת בתקשורת כלהט"בית התומכת בנישואין חד מיניים. מולה התייצבו חברי כל שאר בתי הכנסת והחצרות החסידיות בניו יורק, שתמכו במועמד היהודי לתפקיד מושל ניו יורק לי זלדין, חבר הקונגרס בסיעה הרפובליקנית.

בקהילות החרדיות בניו יורק מתקשים להסביר את תמיכת שתי החסידויות הקנאיות קיצוניות במועמדת הדמוקרטית, בניגוד לעמדת שאר החצרות. אחד ההסברים, שלא זכה לאישור, הוא שהמועמדת הוקול הבטיחה לחסידויות אלה מחיקת חובות וקנסות לקופת המדינה בסך עשרות מיליוני דולר, ואולי גם לא להקפיד בסוגיית הסירוב ללימודי ליבה.

הזעזוע מהמהלך היה כה גדול, עד שבתקשורת הפנימית של יהודי ניו יורק, הוצגה המועמדת הנתמכת ע"י סאטמר, במלים אלה: "להם, לסאטמרים ולסקווירים, מותר הכל. אם תופעה כזו היתה נחשפת בישראל, היו כל האדמו"רים והרבנים בניו יורק, יוצאים במחאות גדולות וזועקים על הידרדרות החרדים בישראל. והנה, זה קורה בניו יורק, והכל בגלל הבטחות המועמדת הוקול, לספק תקציבים גדולים, הם מעודדים הצבעה למען המועמדים הכי מלוכלכים מבחינה הלכתית, מי שנשואים גברים לגברים ונשים לנשים, והם אומרים במפורש שכל עניינם להפוך את ארה"ב למדינה פרוגרסיבית שכזו, שכל מה שהיה אסור אצל הגויים עד לפני לא כל כך הרבה שנים, יהפוך להיות מותר, ויחייבו את כולם להכיר בהם ואף לקבל אותם כחלק מן החיים".

בחצרות החרדים התומכים במועמד היהודי לי זלדין, מוסיפים ש"במקום שסקווירא וסאטמר יכריזו ויאמרו כי אינם יכולים להיות שותפים לחיים מתועבים כאלו, הם קוראים להצביע להם ולחזק אותם, וכל זאת מפני שהבטיחו תקציבים גדולים למוסדותיהם. החינוך היהודי השורשי בניו יורק נאבק קשות על המשך החינוך הכשר, ששולל להחדיר תועבה לסדר הלימודים, ובמקום שסאטמר וסקווירא יסייעו בידם להילחם באותם פרוגרסיבים התובעים לחייב את החרדים ללמד לימודים אסורים, באים סאטמר וסקווירא לתמוך במתועבים האלה, מפני שהבטיחו להם כל מיני טובות הנאה".

עמדת האדמו"ר מסאטמר וגיסו האדמו"ר מסקווירא מנוגדת לעמדת שאר הקהילות והרבנויות בניו יורק. ועל אף זאת, הפעם גדולה מבעבר התמיכה של סאטמר במועמדת הפרוגרסיבית. התמיכה הגורפת התבטאה בכך שהאדמו"ר עצמו יצא בהכרזה, באמצעות מזכירו האישי הרב מאיר צוויבל, שיש להצביע למועמדת הדמוקרטית. הכרזה ישירה כזו מפי האדמו"ר עצמו נעשתה בסאטמר רק לפני 50 שנה, בשלהי יום הכיפורים תשל"ג, כשהאדמו"ר הקודם רבי ייואל'יש טייטלבאום הכריז לפני תפילת נעילה כי יש לתמוך במועמד החצר לכהונת מושל מדינת ניו יורק.

Except for Satmar & Skver American Jews Finally Leaving the Democratic Party

 

American Jews need to remove themselves from the Democratic Party, which no longer exemplifies Jewish values, no longer supports Israel, and is controlled by leftist extremists who are anti-Semitic.

 Although slower than hoped for, it looks like this might finally be happening.

A recent poll after the midterms demonstrates this optimistic change. Thirty-three percent of Jews voted Republican in the primaries, up from 30% in 2020 and 24% in 2016. 

This new voting bloc proves two things: 

Jews are starting to wake up to political realities and letting go of their indoctrinated belief that Democrats are the “Jewish party”; and the rise has nothing to do with and is not tied to Donald Trump and his pro-Israel positions.

BY BY AMERICA DEMS WIN SENATE

 

Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto won her re-election bid Saturday night, solidifying Democratic control of the chamber.

The Associated Press was among the outlets to call the race late Saturday for the incumbent against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt.

Cortez Masto’s campaign focused on supporting the right to abortion access and a permanent pathway to citizenship for “Dreamers.”

Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto won her re-election bid Saturday night, solidifying Democratic control of the chamber.

The Associated Press was among the outlets to call the race late Saturday for the incumbent against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt.

Cortez Masto’s campaign focused on supporting the right to abortion access and a permanent pathway to citizenship for “Dreamers.”

Laxalt had been leading just one day before the race was called, but saw his edge dwindle as mail-in-votes were tallied. He and his team foresaw an impending loss Friday morning and were considering demanding a recount, an advisor said.

Cortez Masto’s win guarantees that the Senate will be controlled by Democrats for the next two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.

Cortez Masto tweeted a simple, “Thank you, Nevada!” after several media outlets called the race in her favor.

Ezra "Kapo" Friedlander Praises Satmar Rebbe For Voting Against Torah Values!

 

Ezra

 Ezra who backed Obama and "fat nadler" in their "Iran Deal" vote and who ran around like a poisoned rat to get Sadat, the murderer of over 2,000 Jewish IDF soldiers a Congressional Medal of honor, is now praising the perfidy of the Monroe Satmar Rebbe, R' Aaron Teitelbaum, for abandoning Torah Values and voting for the  shiksa Hochul. Hochul is totally ineffectual. Why would any sane person vote for certain decline in their city and state, unless they were promised payback.

Ezra in his arrogance and sheer chutzpa, tweets, that the Satmar Rebbe had "far sighted and forward looking decision" for making his decision. Ezra adds that the "rebbe shlita truly understood what is the best interests of the ENTIRE community and NOT just his own." 

This is an unmitigated lie as the Satmar Rebbe was promised to be forgiven millions of dollars for his water pipeline in Monroe in exchange for his endorsement. The Rebbe had only his interest in mind and dragged his brother-in-law the Skverer Rebbe into his den of selfishness. 

We all remember when the "farsighted & forward looking" R' Aron asked his naive sheep to write letters to congressmen to support the murderous "Iran Deal" against Israel. Did the rebbe have the "best interests of the ENTIRE community" all the 6.8 million Jews living Israel in mind or did he only care about the outdated and irrelevant shitah?   Ezra the"kapo" also supported this initiative against Israel.

There is something to be said when the ENTIRE frum community voted for Zeldin except for these two brother-in laws. 

Let's watch what the shiksa, loved by this rebbe, does now about crime etc. 

Hope I am proven wrong, but I don't see any hope for New York !
