Shatzer Matzohs bakery , appears to close its doors this Pesach season.

 

Shatzer Matzohs, a matzah bakery that has operated for decades and gained a loyal following, may not be producing matzos ahead of Passover this year.

“At this point in time, we’re not baking,” said a person speaking on Shatzer’s phone line who identified herself as the owner but declined to give her name.

The owner told the New York Jewish Week that the closure is “temporary,” but that she does not know what the future holds. Another person at the Shatzer phone number told the Jewish Week in a subsequent call that the factory may indeed reopen ahead of Passover, but that it has not started baking yet, as it would have at this point in time in previous years.

Rabbi David Bashevkin, a writer and the director of education for the Orthodox youth group NCSY, recalled the brand, which is produced in a factory in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Kensington, as being “the matzah of my childhood.”

“For many people, it had a reputation as the best matzah bakery in the tri-state area, which by definition means it’s the best matzah in the world,” Bashevkin told the New York Jewish Week.

The owner would not comment on why the factory is closing or the history of the company. American Jewish historian Zev Eleff told the New York Jewish Week that he was able to find advertisements for the company in Yiddish newspapers that date back to the 1960s.

“It was a staple,” said Eleff, who serves as the president of Gratz College, a Jewish institution outside of Philadelphia. “The idea of family-owned and tradition, that was a commodity. It’s an important quality, and I think that’s something that’s now lost.”

Shatzer Matzos produces round “shmura” matzah, which is a handmade version of the Passover staple whose production is supervised beginning at the moment the wheat is harvested.

“To hear that we’re not going to have Shatzer Matzoh this year is just a devastating loss,” Bashevkin said. “In my family, we ate their matzah all year long. My father still has Shatzer Matzoh boxes from last year.”

In the Facebook group “Great Kosher Restaurants Foodies,” Riki Landa announced that the company is closed this year, adding that the news was “so sad.”

“I don’t think many will appreciate that for many years, Shatzer was the handmade shmura place,” Rabbi Josh Yuter wrote on Twitter.

“This was the matzah of our youth,” Bashevkin said. “And we’re still rooting for it to come back.”

3rd earthquake in Israel in under 24 hours

 

Earthquake Drill 

An earthquake was felt in northern Israel at about 9 PM Wednesday night, the third earthquake to strike Israel in the last 24 hours.

According to the Seismological Division of the Geological Survey of Israel, the 3.9 magnitude quake's epicenter was near Israel's border with Lebanon and Syria.

At about 5 pm today, a magnitude 3.4 earthquake struck, with an epicenter 20 kilometers southeast of the city of Ariel.

Last night (Tuesday), at about 11:15 PM, an earthquake measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale was felt. Its epicenter was 15 kilometers southeast of Ariel, close to the location of the epicenter of the second earthquake.

Thus far, there are no reports of injuries or damages from any of the earthquakes in Israel.

The earthquakes in Israel on Tuesday and Wednesday follow the devastating earthquake which hit Turkey and Syria overnight Sunday and which was also felt in Israel. That earthquake has been followed by hundreds of aftershocks, including one early Tuesday morning which measured 5.6 on the Richter scale.

On Tuesday, officials from the World Health Organization warned that the death toll in Syria and Turkey following the earthquake could top 20,000. The death toll has already surpassed 11,000.

Goyim Dressed like Chareidim Trying to Infiltrate Chareidi Kehilla in Jerusalem

 

he Beyneynu anti-missionary organization sent an urgent appeal to the Israeli Interior Ministry requesting that it deny citizenship to a Christian missionary family that is trying to infiltrate the Chareidi community in Jerusalem.

The Isaacson family (previously Dawson), who was outed after infiltrating the frum community in Phoenix as well as previously infiltrating kehillos in Dallas and Houston in Texas, Portland, Oregon and Wisconsin, Milwaukee, is now trying to pass themselves off as Chareidi Jews in Nachlaot.

According to a B’Chadrei Chareidim article, the family members are in Israel with tourist visas for three months and they are trying to obtain Israeli citizenship in order that their children will find shidduchim in the Chareidi community in Israel.

Shannon Nuszen, founder and director of Beyneynu, wrote to the Interior Ministry: “We believe that they will ask to immigrate to Israel immediately or at the very least obtain student visas for their children through the Ministry of the Interior.”

“It’s urgent that the Ministry of the Interior act immediately to block these people from receiving any visa that would allow them to continue the damage they are causing to the Jewish communities with their insidious agenda…we know from first-hand reports from Jewish communities and rabbis in the US that the Dawson/Isaacson family is deceptive, dangerous and very determined to establish themselves in Israel.”

Well, In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire the prosecutor investigating Burmisa Holdings, who Hunter was on the board of.

.“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” ….(Quid Pro Quo).... “Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.
Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yehuda Grammy sits like "a shoiteh" While Iran President Says that " Jews have no connection to Moshe Rabbeinu and his teachings

 


Not that he can do anything about it, as he was a captive audience.

I have posted and written many times about this Iran "Rabbi," Yehuda Grammy, who was educated in Israel and in Ner Yisrael Baltimore , and is coached by the "anti-Israel"  Satmar Rebbi!

In Yiddish there is an expression:'
עהר איז נישט דער גרויסער חכם אין נישט דער קליינער נער
"He is not a big brain, and neither is he a small fool"

In May of 2020, he was interviewed by the official television station of the regime in Tehran on Al-Quds Day, and said the following:

"We Iranian Jews want to send this message to Zionists and primarily to [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu. Know that you Zionists do not represent Judaism and do not represent the Jewish people. You represent only the idea of a political movement whose ideas and values run counter to the ideas and values of our sacred teachings and Jewish religion,” 

No one in their right mind actually thinks that the Zionists represent Judaism, not even the Zionists themselves. There isn't one sect that represents Judaism. But at the same time there isn't a Jew in the entire world including this foolish rabbi that thinks that Jews in Iran represent Judaism.
This foolish "rabbi" knows that he cannot really have the freedom to say what he wants, because if he did, the Iranian Mullas would grind him into "pe'cha" 

The Iranian President decided to include him in a meeting with leaders of various different religions to humiliate him in front of the entire world, by saying that the Jews living in Israel, have no connection to Moshe Rabbeinu and his teachings. 
"Jews living in Israel" include Chareidim, and the State of Irael is the biggest supporter of Torah, there isn't a soul that even comes close. 


The president of Iran met with the leaders of Iran's religions, including the leader of the Jewish community, the Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yehuda Grammy. 

The president said at the conference: 

"The vision of the nation is that all the tribes and religions of Iran will play a role in it." But then attacked Jews living in Israel: 

"They have nothing to do with the Jewish religion and the teachings of the prophet Moses"
