Chareidie Perverts Come Up With New Ban on Women
Israel set to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day; nearly 150,000 survivors live in the Jewish state
The number of Holocaust survivors living in Israel stands at nearly 150,000, according to statistics published on Sunday by the Holocaust Survivors’ Rights Authority ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Israel is set to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day beginning on Monday evening.
The official state opening ceremony will take place at 8 p.m. in Warsaw Ghetto Square at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem.
The 147,199 Holocaust survivors residing in the Jewish state include 521 new immigrants from war-torn Ukraine who last year were recognized as survivors of the Nazi genocide.
Holocaust Remembrance Day, an annual event in Israel commemorating the six million Jews murdered by the Germans and their collaborators, and those who fought back and partook in rescue efforts, takes place this year from Monday evening until the following evening. The somber day features a two-minute siren at 10 a.m. local time when the country comes to a standstill.
One of the central themes of this year’s commemoration is Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, as the world marks 80 years since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
According to the data, 462 Holocaust survivors celebrated their 100th birthdays last year. Around 31,000 are more than 90 years old. The average age of survivors is 85 and the youngest survivor is 76.
Haifa is home to the largest population of Shoah survivors in Israel, followed by Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Sixty-three percent of Holocaust survivors in Israel were born in Europe. Significant numbers of Holocaust survivors came from outside of Europe, including Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Iraq.

Beit Shemesh Resident Killed In ATV Crash, Sister In Critical Condition
Beit Shemesh resident Yisrael Levinstein, z’l, 22, was killed on Tuesday evening, Chol Hamoed Pesach, in an ATV accident in Beit Shemesh.
The Levinstein family was enjoying a Chol Hamoed outing at the Yarmut Park in Beit Shemesh and Yisrael, z’l, was giving rides to his siblings on his ATV. He was on a ride with his sister, Rus Altman, a 29-year-old mother of 3 children, and drove into the adjoining area of Ramat Beit Shemesh Hei, where he apparently crashed into a fence, causing the vehicle to overturn.
Since the area is still sparsely populated, the victims weren’t found until about an hour later, when the family members began searching for them. Rescue workers called to the scene administered emergency medical aid and evacuated them to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. There, unfortunately, the doctors were forced to declare the death of Yisrael, z’l. Rus was hospitalized in very serious and unstable condition.
Yisrael, z’l, and Rus are the children of Reb Dovid Levinstein, a well-known figure in the city, who made aliyah from Russia and established a family of 13 children.

Kiryas Yoel Fights other Chareidim in Secular Court Who Want to build a Town Next to them and will call it "Be'eir Shevah"
According to most Chareidie leaders, Bais Din was made for the regular "joe shmo" but not for them, witness the fact that when the Holy Rebbelich (Satmar, Bobov, Sadegere) fight amongst themselves they go to secular court, and they ignore the 3rd Rashi in Mishpatim that states unequivocally, that going to secular court is being "Mechallel Shem Shmayim." Chareidim will G-d forbid not eat "gebrokts" or "machine matzos" on Pesach which are only "chumrois" but will totally ignore an "issur de'orisah."
Kiryas Yoel, the "Uganda" Town of Satmar, joined their Goyishe Neighbors and went to secular court "be'achdus" to block other Chassidim who want to establish another "Uganda" and name it after the Zionist city of "Be'er Sheva" calling it "Seven Springs."
The Judge told Satmar where to go and outright rejected their challenges and gave the ok for the renegades to build.
What is interesting is that Chareidim historically mocked Herzl because Herzl's initial plan was for Jews to move to Uganda, and Chareidim claimed that Herzl being a secular Jew didn't understand that Jews yearn to be in Eretz Yisrael and that Jews have no "sheichis" no connection to another country in Chutz Le'aaretz, and so they laughed at him for his ridiculous idea (which Herzl subsequently rejected and fought against this idea).
But then the Skverer Rebbe z"l did just that, establishing a town in Spring Valley, New York and called it New Square. He built an "Uganda" le'shem ul'tiferes. It wasn't too long after that that the chief mocker of Herzl's Uganda idea, R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l, adopted this very "Herzl Uganda idea" and established his own Uganda town of Kiryas Yoel.
Ironically, Herzl's idea for a Jewish State came to fruition, a beautiful State established in 1948 and whether he wanted it or not, has now the most Torah there than in its entire history. There are more Jews learning Torah in the Zionist State than anywhere in the world. In a about a year Herzl's State will have the majority of the world's Jews living there. Meanwhile in Chutz Le'aaretz, Chareidim are fighting amongst themselves to set up "Ugandas" in Monroe, Bloomingfield, Toms River, Lakewood etc. How ironic?
Orange County is one step closer to becoming home to second a Hasidic village, now that an appeals court has rejected a pair of challenges to a plan to create a new village within the Town of Monroe.
The Journal News (https://bit.ly/3KCzER9) reported that both the Town of Monroe and the Village of Kiryas Joel had moved to block the proposed formation of the Village of Seven Springs, located west of Kiryas Joel.
A Supreme Court judge rejected earlier legal challenges waged by both the village and the town to prevent the incorporation of Seven Springs, with the appeals court panel shooting down their objections on April 12th.
Petitions were submitted to create Seven Springs in 2019 within Monroe’s borders, giving residents of the 1.9 square mile area, which was not part of Kiryas Joel’s previous annexation efforts, the ability to control the zoning in a swath of land that includes the majority of the unincorporated properties in northern Monroe.
Encompassing land on both sizes of Route 17 and half of Woodbury Common Premium Outlet shopping center, Seven Springs would be larger than Kiryas Joel, if approved.
“We’re looking forward to the town expeditiously processing the incorporation petition at this time,” said Seven Springs attorney Steven Barshov.
Monroe Supervisor Tony Cardone said that he and town board members would discuss whether they would attempt to appeal their case to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals.
If no further legal attempts are made to block the formation of Seven Springs, the Town of Monroe would be required to determine if the proposed village’s petition meets all legal requirements before deciding to grant their approval, triggering a public hearing and a vote by those living within the area.

CNN Selective Reporting on Israel Reads like Der Shturmer
Israeli cars 'receive' bullets from mysterious sources, occupants are killed 'in that crash.' Should we venture a guess?
According toCNN International, while Israelis shoot and kill Palestinians, Israeli cars “receive” bullets and the occupants die in a “crash.” That is how, at least, two separate incidents were described during a single segment on Isa Soares Tonight on April 10.
On Friday, April 7, a mother, Lucy Dee, and her two daughters, Maia and Rina Dee, were murdered in a terrorist attack in the Jordan Valley. Terrorists fired on them as they were driving to Tiberias as part of a family trip, causing the car to veer off and crash. The terrorists then fired again at the Dee family to make sure they were dead. Lucy lived for several days before succumbing to her wounds while the two young women died instantly.
How did CNN correspondent Frederik Pleitgen describe this incident?
“But earlier in the West Bank, there was a shooting incident where a car received a bullet shot, or gunshots, with the family in it. It was a mother and her two daughters, and the two daughters were killed in that crash.”
The car “received…gunshots.” The mother and her daughters were “killed in that crash.” It was a “shooting incident” instead of a terror attack (not even “terror attack” in scare quotes, or qualified by the word “suspected.”) Who the suspected shooters were is left entirely unaddressed.
The description stands in stark contrast to how another “shooting incident” was covered by the same correspondent.
On Monday, April 10, a Palestinian Arab, Mohammad Fayez Balhan, was killed during an Israeli military raid in Aqabat Jabr, near Jericho. The Israel Defense Forces were operating in Aqabat Jabr to detain a suspected terrorist when “Palestinians confronted the soldiers,” according to Palestinian Authority’s Wafa News Agency, during which “suspects hurled explosive devices and Molotov cocktails and opened fire” at the Israeli soldiers, according to the IDF. The exact circumstances of Balhan’s death are not clear, however.
Did the CNN correspondent use the same evasive, circuitous style of speaking as he did to describe the murder of the three Israelis? No.
Instead, Pleitgen states:
“[T]he Israeli military shot and killed a 15-year-old boy, Mohammad Fayez Balhan, in another part of the West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health says.”
Earlier in the segment, Isa Soares’s own language was similar:
“Elsewhere in the West Bank, mourners buried a 15-year-old Palestinian boy killed by Israeli soldiers in a refugee camp near Jericho.”
In both cases, the language is clear: Israeli military action killed Balhan.
Lest one suggest that the correspondent’s language on the shooting death of Balhan was more direct because he cited the Palestinian Ministry of Health, notice that no Israeli official sources were used in describing the murder of the three Israelis.
For example, nowhere did the segment use the word “terrorism” in reference to the attack on the three Israelis, despite the fact that Israeli and other governments have clearly labeled it as such.
Furthermore, while Balhan’s age is referenced twice during the segment, not once was it mentioned that Rina Dee, one of the Israeli shooting victims, was also 15 years old.
The bizarre, inconsistent treatment of these two incidents is yet another example of an unmistakable decline in the quality of CNN’s coverage of Israel. Absolutely bizarre wording from @CNNI. Compare how it described two shooting incidents
