Secret Meeting Between The Rosh Yeshiva Of Slobodka And The IDF General

 

DIN: I happen to know and respect Rav Hirsch, but his refusal to negotiate with the IDF vis a vis drafting Yeshiva students, does not come from a good place. I cannot imagine Rav Hirsch giving in at all, as he is afraid for his very life. This is not about even surviving as Rosh Yeshiva of Slobodka, as he would be unceremoniously tossed out and derided, mocked and degraded, but this is mamash a question of life and death physically! What Satmar did to the Kloizenberger Rebbe, the Spinka Rebbe and Rav Moshe Feinstein z"l, would be child's play to what would happen to Rav Hirsch should he give in even a little bit!


The head of the IDF’s Personnel Directorate, Gen. Yaniv Asor, traveled to Bnei Brak before Pesach for a secret meeting with HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, the Rosh Yeshivah of Slabodka and one of the leaders of the Chareidi Litvak sector.

The meeting was held on the background of the Supreme Court and the Attorney-General’s demands on the government to recruit bnei yeshivos.

Sources close to HaRav Hirsch said that the Rosh Yeshivah stressed that he will not agree to any plan that does not allow all bochurim to learn Torah without interference from the IDF.

Senior IDF officials confirmed the meeting. The IDF responded to an inquiry from B’Chadrei Chareidim by stating: “The Personnel Directorate deals with a wide range of issues related to strengthening the competence of the IDF…including working to promote the integration of Chareidim in a variety of service paths while providing the opportunity to maintain their lifestyle and beliefs. The General met with many leaders in the Chareidi public in order to learn about the various aspects related to the issue and promote it successfully.”

On Wednesday, the government stated that it is working on a plan to recruit Chareidim in the immediate future in a response to the Supreme Court’s demand to clarify how it intends to comply with the law regarding the Chareidi draft.

Palestinian Goes To Auschwitz, Says Jews Should Return There


 

A shocking video posted on social media earlier this week has sparked widespread condemnation, showing a Palestinian man visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Holocaust Memorial Museum and calling for Jews to return to the site of the extermination camp.

In the footage, the man is seen walking through the memorial, exclaiming, “From these ghettos from which the Zionists came, I say Allah have mercy on all the Palestinians and our martyrs. Free Palestine.” He then ominously declares, “God-willing, we will be free from you [Jews], and you will all return to the concentration camps. Or to your countries. Any other place, as long as you leave our place because this is our land. You belong here [Auschwitz]. This is your place of origin. You left these camps and ghettos. Long live Palestine.”

This incident comes amid a surge in pro-Palestinian protests and antisemitic incidents worldwide, with Holocaust memorial sites becoming vulnerable targets for vandalism. In a recent incident, the Holocaust memorial in Hyde Park, London, was covered by officials to prevent potential damage or antisemitic graffiti from pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

The World Holocaust Remembrance Center Yad Vashem condemned the incident, stating, “These are the real issues that are eating away at the moral fabric of our society. Holocaust memorials serve as solemn reminders of the unparalleled horrors perpetrated during one of the darkest chapters in human history.”


Meshiginar Biden Finally Opens His Trap and Condemns "Islamophobia"?

 

Biden Condemning Israel for Attacking Haifa


 After days of painstaking silence, President Biden has finally spoken out about the violent protests which have terrorized college campuses.

In his first public remarks on this week’s protests, Biden criticized much of the unrest over the Israel-Hamas war erupting at colleges across the country, saying “none of this is a peaceful protest.”

“Destroying property is not a peaceful protest,” Biden said. “It is against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest.”

However Biden seemed to equate hatred of Jews and hatred of Palestinians. In fact, he mentioned Arabs, Palestinians, and Muslims.

Alan Dershowitz slammed Biden, tweeting: “Why can’t President Biden simply denounce antisemitism without pandering to Muslims and Arabs. This is what he said: “There is place for hate speech or violence of any kind whether it’s antisemitism,Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab American or Palestinian American.””

Universities Make Concessions to Pro-Hamas Demonstrators

 

At least two elite American universities have made concrete concessions to anti-Israel protesters who set up illegal “encampments” on school property, chanted antisemitic slogans, and vowed not to leave unless administrators agreed to adopt the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state.

For the past two weeks, college students have been amassing in the hundreds at a growing number of schools, taking over sections of campuses by setting up “Gaza Solidarity Encampments” and refusing to leave unless administrators condemn and boycott Israel. Footage of the protests has shown demonstrators chanting in support of Hamas, calling for the destruction of Israel, and even threatening to harm members of the Jewish community on campus. In many cases, activists have also lambasted the US and Western civilization more broadly.

The protests initially erupted across the US but have since spread to university campuses around the world, primarily in the West.

According to an announcement issued by Northwestern University in Illinois after hours of negotiations with the protesters, the school has agreed to establish a new scholarship for Palestinian undergraduates, contact potential employers of students who caused recent campus disruptions to insist on their being hired, and create a segregated dormitory hall to be occupied exclusively by Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Muslim students. Northwestern University — where a mob shouted “Kill the Jews!” as part of the ongoing protests — has also agreed to form a new investment committee in which anti-Zionists students and faculty may wield an outsized voice.

On Tuesday, meanwhile, Brown University in Rhode Island announced that it will hold a vote on divesting from companies linked to Israel in exchange for the students disassembling their encampment and abstaining from holding more protests until the school’s commencement on May 26, according to the Brown Daily Herald. The student newspaper added, however, that the university will not “at this time” drop criminal charges filed against 41 students who illegally occupied an administrative building in December.

A German soldier looted postcards from doomed Lublin Yeshiva in Poland. 80 years later, his granddaughter brought them back

 




Karla McCabe speaks at a ceremony where she returned postcards that her Nazi soldier grandfather looted from the Lublin yeshiva,

Before World War II, Lublin was a vibrant center of Jewish culture in Poland dating back to the 16th century. A large share of the city was always Jewish, roughly one-third — or 40,000 people — when the Nazis invaded. The Lublin Yeshiva opened in 1930, led by Rabbi Meir Shapiro, and lasted only nine years. In its brief life it became one of the world’s largest Jewish religious schools and boasted a library of between 15,000 and 40,000 religious books, among them some of the earliest manuscripts in print.

The Nazis turned Lublin into a center of mass exterminationkilling 99% of its Jews and eradicating symbols of Jewish culture. Although the broad yellow structure of the yeshiva remained, used as an office by the German army, its vast library disappeared. The destruction was so effective, leaving so few traces of the yeshiva’s documentation, that even how its books vanished has remained a subject of speculation. For decades, a popular theory said they went up in flames at a Nazi book burning.
