Girl suspended from Charedi school after celebrating Bat Mitzvah...Yoi! Her Grandfather was there? Yoi!!!!!!

 

Hadar, the Bat Mitzvah girl

Hadar, a 12-year-old student at a Charedi school in Ashkelon, was suspended after, according to the school, her Bat Mitzvah celebration violated school policy. According to Kan News, since then nearly two weeks, the school administration has not allowed her to return to class.

According to the girl's mother, the event was organized per the school's strict code, with strict kosher supervision and a female photographer, DJ, and waitresses. She says the trouble began in the middle of the event when the Hadar's friends began to leave early. "During the party, there was a commotion because the party was supposed to end at 9:30 PM. I explained the problem to the assistant principal that I already had invited people for a specific time, and I couldn't change it. The whole point of having a party for only girls is so her classmates could come."

Hadar recounted, "I was sad, I cried, I told my friends the principal wouldn't do anything, don't worry, stay. Some said, 'You're right,' they stayed, and some left."

Two days later, Hadar, a sixth grader at the Netzach Israel school in Ashkelon, received a letter notifying her that she would not return to class until her mother signed the letter admitting that she was wrong. According to the school, the party continued past the accepted time, the songs played at the event were not from the approved list, and several male relatives, including Hadar's father and grandfather, were present.

The school's principal claims that "the girl's mother keeps refusing to sign the letter she received after she violated several articles of the school's code."

The Ashkelon Municipality stated: "It was made clear to the student's mother that she can return to school, but she chose not to."

"I lost my family in a split second and that pain cannot be put into words"

Destiny's husband Corey and son Parker. 

I want you to imagine waking up one day and everything about your life is different. You no longer have the home you made years of memories in, you do not have the vehicle you worked tirelessly to get for your family, and you no longer have a reason to wake up anymore. The family you dreamt of having your entire life is gone. You are left with just yourself. Nothing more. 

On September 20, 2014, a day after my husband Corey’s 22nd birthday we loaded our 15-month-old baby, Parker, in the car on a Saturday afternoon and headed to an appointment. 

We were just miles from our destination on a rural country road when we were struck at 87 miles per hour nearly head-on. That minivan we worked so hard to get now looked like a crumpled-up soda can. 

My sweet baby who just celebrated his first birthday three months prior was now dead. The same baby I had just nursed before putting him safely in his rear-facing car seat was gone. My husband, my high school sweetheart had a fighting chance. We were both quickly flown to a hospital in a bigger nearby city where my husband later succumbed to his injuries, leaving me a childless widow at the young age of 21. 

The pain of losing my family in a split second cannot be put into words. It is a pain that never truly goes away, it is a pain that stays with you forever. You are constantly in a state of feeling homesick when you are home. It is a pain that makes you feel lonely when you are in a room full of people who love you.  

WhatsApp’s hidden contact feature revealed — here’s how to use it

 

It was playing hide and seek.

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has a hidden contact feature that’s recently been revealed — and it can prove to be super helpful, especially when trying to remember things on your to-do list.

In November 2022, the company rolled out a feature allowing you to send messages to yourself in the application on mobile devices, according to Mashable.

This means that the next time you’re trying to remember what to buy at the grocery store or attempting to jot down a confirmation code for a login, you can just send a quick note to yourself and come back to it when needed.

In order to message yourself on WhatsApp, you can simply start a new chat, and your own number should pop up at the top of your list of contacts with the option to “message yourself.”

Once you click that option, it should allow you to do just that — send messages to your own contact.

Worshippers outraged as Neo-Nazis wave swastika flags outside synagogue – and police refuse to intervene because it is ‘free speech’

 

Worshippers at a synagogue in Georgia were outraged on Saturday to find Neo-Nazis protesting outside their temple.

About a dozen members of the ‘Goyim Defense League’, a hate group which accuses Jewish people of conspiring to control the world, staged their demonstration outside the Chabad of Cobb County synagogue, in East Cobb, just north of Atlanta.

Police were called to the scene but allowed the protest to continue as Jewish members of the congregation berated the Neo-Nazis and told them leave, videos posted to social media show.

The racist group held signs declaring that ‘Every Single Aspect’ of abortion, the media, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and elected officials is Jewish.

At the bottom of the signs was a Web address to the Goyim group’s YouTube page, with videos including a program called ‘Saturday White Live.’

Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan Demands Apology From the Shin Bet & Police Comm for their political generalization of over half a million settlers in Judea and Samaria,

 

Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan condemned the announcement by Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar regarding Jewish riots after the shooting attack at Eli Junction last week.

"I condemn this shocking all-encompassing, and unprecedented political message. I demand from the Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, and Head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar to apologize for the political generalization of over half a million pioneer settlers in Judea and Samaria," demanded Dagan.

According to him, "Everyone knows that the group that takes the law into their own hands over and over again is a negligible minority, most of whom are not from the settlement, and even those who are are a small minority that should be taken care of by you. Yes - by you! By the system. You are supposed to solve it."

Dagan accused: "Your duty and role are to capture criminals, and that's what the public expects of you. It's your duty. However, according to the law and according to the rules in democracy - and yes, administrative arrests only against settlers in the Jewish community is discrimination, and it's not democratic."

"I call on you and even demand of you: Be professional and not political," demanded Dagan and clarified: "Your job is to fight the enemy - the real terrorism that threatens not only the residents of Judea and Samaria but the entire State of Israel. The public in Judea and Samaria and the great majority of the citizens of the State of Israel love and admire the soldiers of the IDF and the members of the security system and pray for their success - the success of our country and the security system, more than any other population, both draftees and reservists. The generalized and political announcement to the media deeply hurts the same public and the same majority of the people. Precisely because the army and the settlement are always together - the damage is twice as great."

"Those like the Chief of Staff, the Commissioner, and the head of the Shin Bet know that the handful who time and again take the law into their own hands do not represent the settlement," wrote Dagan and explained, "Because they are a minority and most of them do not live in Judea and Samaria at all. You know more than anyone how much effort the Jewish settlement leadership puts into this issue more than any other leadership - in every region and every other population group. You know best - because you are in contact with all of us. And in meetings, you speak differently than the general and political media message you issued. Instead, you chose in an indecent way to issue a message that includes and produces false and political delegitimization."

"The attempt to create an equation between the murderous terrorism of the Palestinian Authority and the vandalism of a handful of boys that you know very well does not represent anything - is a moral wrong and, above all, a lack of professionalism," he claimed.

In conclusion, Dagan wrote: "Yes. When I understand that all the groups in the State of Israel choose to discredit Israeli citizens who live in Judea and Samaria and impose administrative arrests (compared to zero indictments for the Ayalon and Kaplan protesters), yes, this is discriminatory, unacceptable, and anti-democratic. I call on you: stop and apologize."

Samaria Chief Rabbi: Anti-Arab rioters do not represent the settlers

 

Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, the Chief Rabbi of Samaria and Rosh Yeshiva of the Elon Moreh Yeshiva, published a message Sunday morning in which he addressed the recent violence in Judea and Samaria. While he supports the residents, Rabbi Levanon condemned the Jewish rioters who have damaged the property of Palestinian Arabs in the last week following the shooting attack near Eli where four civilians were murdered.

"I strengthen the hand of the residents, 'the settlers', who live in the shadow of continuous terror, and continue bravely in their daily routine, traveling on the roads despite the shootings, the Molotov cocktails, the stones and the roadblocks they encounter. I strengthen and embrace them," Rabbi Levanon began.

Turning to the anti-Arab riots which followed the deadly shooting attack in Binyamin last Tuesday, Rabbi Levanon stated that "'settlers' don't violate Shabbat and certainly do not harm the Arabs."

"I protest the haste with which the heads of the security establishment condemned the settlers, and especially the media, which was quick to blame the 'settlers,'" Rabbi Levanon declared. "If a group of lawbreakers chooses to carry out prohibited actions, both according to the Torah and all human morality, this does not mean that the heroic settlers should be tarnished with anything."

"I call on the security system and those who lead it, to come to their senses, and wage a non-stop war on the terrorism that threatens the entire country, and repeatedly harms the lives of the settlers of Judea and Samaria. Deal with the real enemies of Israel, and do not harm the lovers of the people and the land," Rabbi Levanon concluded.

How the FBI Used “Russian disinformation” to tip the 2020 election to Biden : Michael Goodwin

 

Score half a point for Donald Trump.

It turns out he was on to something with his claim the 2020 election was rigged, though not in the way he thinks. 

The dirty deed didn’t happen in offices in Arizona or Georgia, where Republicans supposedly were banished while Democrats counted duffel bags full of late-arriving votes.

Nor did Trump lose because computers were wired to rob him of victory. 

Instead, the cheating that likely denied Trump a second term was very close to home.

In fact, it was an inside job. 

The biggest American Chareidi community in Israel where no one ever decides to move back to Chutz Le'aaretrz

 

Over the last couple of decades, a new community has developed that has become the premier destination for American hareidim in Israel. The community has a reputation for its accepting and non judgemental atmosphere. Whether you are modern, baalei batish, yeshivish, Lubavitch, lakewood-type, Passaic type or Five Towns type, all are welcome and all are equal.

It is a community with a gorgeous landscape overlooking the Judean Hills- and a mere 30 minute drive from Yerushalayim. While prices have gone up significantly recently, its still cheaper than Yerushalayim. Most of its residents have surprisingly been willing to pay a hefty fee for accommodations much smaller than what they’re used to in the states.

The greatest proof of this community’s success is that it has an incredible retention rate, people who move here, generally don’t move back or away.

The community I am referring to is not Ramat Beit Shemesh, but its pretty close by. It is a place called the Eretz HaChaim Cemetery.

Good frum Jews from the diaspora have made the Eretz HaChaim cemetery the largest single community of American hareidim (and other Orthodox Jews) in Israel- larger than Ramat Eshkol, Rechavia or Beit Shemesh. The numbers speak for themselves.

The question is, what makes Eretz HaChaim such a popular choice for Americans? Why is it so much more popular than other American hareidi communities. Why is Aliyah in general so much more popular in the American hareidi community amongst the deceased than it is amongst the living?

Judges In Netanyahu Case Tell Prosecution Their Bribery Charge Has No Shot

 

The judges presiding over the criminal trial of Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu have conveyed their skepticism to prosecutors about proving the bribery charge against the premier, according to reports from Hebrew media outlets. The judges held discussions in their chambers with state prosecutors and Netanyahu’s defense team, delving into the complexities surrounding the bribery accusation in Case 4000, the most prominent of the three cases constituting the trial.

Popularly known as the Bezeq-Walla case, it revolves around allegations that Netanyahu, during his previous tenure as prime minister, authorized regulatory decisions that financially benefited Bezeq telecommunications giant shareholder Shaul Elovitch by hundreds of millions of shekels. In return, Netanyahu allegedly received favorable media coverage from Walla, a news site owned by Elovitch. The charges against Netanyahu in this case include bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

Additionally, Netanyahu faces two counts of fraud and breach of trust in Case 1000, involving inappropriate gifts from billionaire benefactors, and Case 2000, which centers on allegations of negotiating positive media coverage in exchange for curtailing competitors.

Netanyahu staunchly denies any wrongdoing, asserting that the charges were fabricated as part of a witch hunt orchestrated by the police and state prosecution. The bribery charge in Case 4000 has always carried the most significant weight against the prime minister, and if the reports hold true, it would deal a significant blow to the prosecution’s case.

Importantly, these comments from the judges emerged after the conclusion of all witnesses presented by the prosecution in Case 4000.
