Chareidie Who spit on Women and drew Palestinian Flag Arrested Finally

 

משטרת בית שמש עצרה אדם חרדי בחשד שצייר את דגל פלסטין ורשם 'ציונים החוצה' ובהמשך ירק על אישה

אתמול (שלישי) עצרה משטרת בית שמש תושב העיר בחשד שצייר את דגל פלסטין עם הכיתוב "ציונים החוצה" על דגל מעלית.

עוד עולה כי באירוע נוסף פגש אישה וירק עליה תוך כדי שהוא מקלל אותה. בית משפט השלום החליט בדיון הבוקר לשחרר את החשוד למעצר בית.

בפתח הדיון בבית משפט השלום בירושלים שם ביקשה המשטרה להאריך את מעצרו, אמר נציג המשטרה שמדובר בעצור שנעצר על בסיס צו והוא נחשד ע"פ החשד בשני אירועים.

האירוע בגינו הוצא צו המעצר לחשוד הגיע בעקבות האירוע בו על פי החשד הוא שם דגל של פלסטין במעלית ורשם "ציונים החוצה".

כאמור, באירוע נוסף על פי החשד פגש באישה וירק עליה תוך שהוא מקלל אותה. לאחר שבעלה של האישה הגיע למקום, המשיב נמלט מהמקום.

המשיב נחקר-לגבי האירוע הראשון עם האישה, המשיב הודה כי היה לו עימות עם אישה, אך טען כי היא קיללה אותו והוא אמר לה "איכסה" וכי הוא אויים ע"י בעלה באמצעות סכין.

עורך הדין רועי פוליטי המייצג את החשוד אמר בדיון כי יש שני אירועים כאשר אחד מהם, הוא השחתת פני מקרקעין. לטענת עורך הדין, העבירה היא בטח לא עבירה שמקימה עילת מסוכנות אם הדברים נכונים.

על המקרה השני אמר עורך דינו של החשוד כי "אם הם שמעו ממנו שאיימו עליו בסכין ולא קרה שום דבר מעבר לזה זה חמור ביותר. האישה והבעל לא נחקרו תחת אזהרה אני מניח ולמעשה מי שאמור להיות עצור נמצא בחוץ. לאור הנסיבות, חומרת העניין, חלוף הזמן והחשד הסביר הנמוך, אבקש לשחרר אותו בתנאים".


בסיום הדיון החליט השופט לשחרר את החשוד למעצר בית בן - 4 ימים ומספר תנאים נוספים

New Survey Says that 80 percent of Charedim use the internet

 

A new survey conducted by the Israeli Internet Union and the Haredi Institute for Policy Research has released its latest findings on internet use among Israel's haredi population, relating to the year 2021. The survey shows that around 80 percent of haredim use the internet, even though around half have no home internet access.

Haredim from the Lithuanian stream use the internet more than Chassidim or Sephardim, while Sephardim are more likely than the other two haredi streams to access the internet via a mobile phone, and haredi women are more likely to access the internet via a mobile phone than haredi men are.

The survey also revealed the main concerns limiting internet use among haredim. Topping the list is the fear of becoming addicted, followed by worries of time-wasting and concern of the detrimental impact on children. Haredim are not particularly concerned that use of the internet will impact their family's matchmaking prospects or getting their children accepted into schools.

The Death of the Baal Teshuva Movement?

 

When Jews left Judaism and Orthodoxy in droves during the 1800s and early 1900s, the great sages of the generation took strong action. Great sages, from the great Chafetz Chaim to several Lubavitcher Rebbes, From Sarah Schnirer to the Alter of Novardhok and R’ Meir Shapiro, addressed the problems, did their best to implement improvements and remedies and fought heroically to fill the historic role Jewish leaders have taken throughout the generations to preserve Yiddishkeit through the countless challenges we have faced as a people.

They were not labeled as anti-Charedi for not towing party line or saying that everything is perfect; they acknowledged the problems and addressed them.

This being said, it is important we acknowledge the new reality of our generation, and that is that the Baal Teshuva movement, as we knew it is dead. It is no longer here. This is not just something that has to do with the world of Jewish outreach, it also can tell us a lot about the state of orthodoxy, and the rapidly changing world we are living in.

Elaine Mehler 56 from Englewood Drowns in Biscayne Bay in Florida

 

A 56 year old Englewood Orthodox Jewish woman drowned yesterday afternoon while swimming in the waters of Biscayne Bay.

 56 year old Elaine Mehler, an employee at Three Pillars Recruiting, was taking part in a company retreat and was on a boat near Miami’s Jungle Island when she decided to go for a swim sometime after 4 PM.

Witnesses said that she disappeared in the water, prompting calls to both 911 and the Coast Guard called to help locate the missing woman.

Mehler was located near Jungle Island at approximately 5:15 PM and airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

Chesed Shel Emes worked through the night to preserve kavod hames and to arrange for Mehler to be transported back to New Jersey on Wednesday evening.

The funeral will be held on Thursday with burial to follow in Israel.

Beit Shemesh Residents Fed up With the Protestors Beat the Living Daylights Out of Them

 

Why are Kosher Food Vendors Ripping off Frum Families Who Cannot afford these Crazy High Prices

 

Look around at any Jewish neighborhood and you’ll find families struggling. Not one or two, but dozens. I’m talking about families not being able to cough up the money to keep their homes heated. And some can’t even buy food.

The food part is what troubles me most. It’s not a secret that inflation has taken a chunk out of everyone’s bank accounts. Everything we need to buy is more expensive; from cheaper items to large expenses, costs have soared for everyone. But this problem appears to be much more acute in the frum community.

Take a look at food prices. The prices of eggs, chicken, meat, dairy – literally everything – has shot up way beyond the amount that prices have gone up in non-kosher supermarkets. Yes, everyone is paying higher prices, but why are we paying 20% more than the already inflation-affected prices in Walmart, ShopRite, and Costco?

What really needs to be asked, and I don’t intend to create a firestorm, is: are kosher food manufacturers using inflation as an excuse to jack up prices well beyond what they need to stay profitable? Have they found a way to enrich themselves off the backs of hardworking, struggling fellow Jews?

I could be wrong. Perhaps they have no option, for whatever reason, but to raise their prices beyond what non-kosher stores are hiking them to. I can’t say for sure. But if that is true, I’d like to know why and I want to know how it can be fixed. There are too many families unable to put food on the table for this crisis to be ignored. There are too many families relying on Tomchei Shabbos for us not to demand answers.

Elka Rothman, Haredi Matriarch of 2,000 Offspring, Dies at 97

 

Amram Blau 
Elka Rothman, daughter of the late anti-Zionist founder of Neturei Karta, Rabbi Amram Blau, passed away in her home at Batei Broida in Jerusalem at age 97, leaving behind 13 children and some 2,000 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, whose own grandchildren are in the process of getting married.

Rabbi Blau’s first wife, Hinda (née Weber), died in 1963, and due to a shrapnel injury, he was not allowed halachically to marry a woman who was Jewish from birth. He thus married a convert in 1965, Ruth Ben-David, who was 26 years younger than him.

Thousands of her offspring attended Elka Rothman’s funeral procession. She was born in 1925 and eventually married Rabbi Israel Rothman, who passed away in 1984.

Her neighbors and family members recalled her as a righteous woman who was especially concerned with making every Jew feel welcome in her home. Jerusalemites used to say that Elka was the grandmother of half of Jerusalem, and as a result, her name appeared every week on invitations to celebrations in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh. It got to the point where printing shop owners would ask every customer, “With or without Elka?”

She was buried on Har Hazeisim

Williamsburg Being Duped by Their Rebbes & Askanim to Attend a Dinner In Honor of Democrats on "Chuf Alef Kislev" December 15

 

The typical Chassidisher Yid living in Williamsburg, knows nothing on what is going on behind their backs and how they are being misled by the Askanim and even their Rebbes. 

They, just like their grandparents back in Hungary and Romania are being led to be slaughtered like sheep. 

When I say slaughtered, I mean spiritually. 

Every child in Williamsburg knows that both Satmar Brothers hate each other's guts, but what they don't know is that these brothers and their askanim, colluded in a scheme to destroy the Chinuch of the "tinokas shel bais rabban," in order to get Federal and State grants.

To facilitate this massive "Chillul Hashem" they called for a dinner on December 15 to honor the leaders of the Democrat Party, which will include Senator Schumer. 

All those Democrat leaders have voted for laws that are directly detrimental to Jewish Values. They have voted to mandate having LGBT agendas, and subjects that include introducing and allowing  transgender woke ideas to the holy vulnerable innocent heimishe children. 

The askanim and the rebbes have sold their souls to these degenerate politicians all for Federal and State funds.

The Headline above the "Kol Korah" in a message to the leaders, reads:

Hypocrites, Judenrat, Kapos




Ben-Gvir Tells the US what to do with their "demand for 'accountability'"

 

National Security Minister-designate MK Itamar Ben-Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) pushed back Tuesday morning, after the US State Department called for “accountability” following the accidental shooting of a Palestinian Arab teenager during a gun battle between IDF forces and Arab terrorists in the northern Samaria city of Jenin.

“The comments by the American government are distressing,” Ben-Gvir said.

“When hundreds of bullets were fired by terrorists at IDF soldiers and Border Police officers, we cannot judge our soldiers as if they are working in a laboratory situation.”

“Without a doubt, the teenage girl’s death is a tragedy, but there is also no doubt that any other army in the world would have completed the kind of operation we carried out in Jenin with dozens of hostiles killed, and not with measured, pinpoint operations.”

“I call on the residents of Jenin and the civilian population there not to leave their homes when terrorists are shooting at IDF soldiers. I give my backing to the IDF soldiers and Border Police officers. They have the right to defend themselves.”

On Monday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price called for “accountability” following the death of a 16-year-old Palestinian Arab girl during Sunday night’s clashes in Jenin.

“We do express our profound condolences to the family of Jana Zakarneh, the young teenage girl who was killed. This – it is a tragic incident. It’s a heartbreaking incident any time you hear of a civilian being killed in these types of operations.”

“We understand the IDF is undertaking an investigation into what happened. We hope to see accountability in this case. I did note that outgoing Prime Minister Lapid did offer his condolences to the family of Jana Zakarneh, and we note that that her tragic death comes in the context of the escalating violence in the West Bank that we’ve noted and lamented for some time now,” he added.

“It is this alarming increase in Palestinian and Israeli deaths and injuries, including injuries to numerous children and now the death of a young Palestinian teenager – we reiterate the need for all parties to take steps to de-escalate the situation. It’s vital that the parties themselves take urgent action to prevent even greater loss of life,” said Price.

The IDF has said Zakarneh was likely killed by an IDF sniper who mistook her for a terrorist, due to her proximity to a group of terrorists during the Jenin gun battle Monday.
