Ganif wearing a business suit Cleans out $15,000 From Tezdaka Box
I say it was an inside job, someone very familiar with this shul! In the video which I couldn't download for some reason, he goes up the stairs directly into the main shul, and knows to go to the Bima directly, and finds the pushkas almost immediately!
A shameless intruder stole about $15,000 from donation boxes inside a Brooklyn synagogue during an early-morning heist last month, cops and sources said.
The masked, suit-clad thief snuck into the Congregation Agudath Sholom on 18th Avenue near East 19th Street in Kensington around 1 a.m. Jan. 25, authorities said.
Footage released by the NYPD late Tuesday shows the suspect stealthily opening the door and traipsing through the house of worship.
The suspect – who wore a baseball cap and backpack alongside his business attire – entered various rooms of the synagogue and swooped up the large pot of cash from multiple donation boxes, police and sources said.
He then left the same way he came, slowly closing and locking the door before casually walking away, the video shows.
He fled east on 18th Avenue and then south on Coney Island Avenue, cops said.
It wasn’t clear if anyone else was inside the synagogue at the time, but no injuries were reported.
Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call the NYPD’s CrimeStoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, or on X @NYPDTips.
"Evil" Schumer manufactured a quibble to justify voting against ICC sanctions
Last week, Senate Democrats led by Schumer tanked a vote on a bill that would have slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court for its outrageous arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
The ICC’s action showed its willingness to act against non-members like Israel and the United States, putting American service members and other potential US targets in danger.
But the Democrats’ action was equally craven: Not only did it keep alive the grotesque prosecution of Israel’s leaders for defending their nation against terrorist attackers, it set a ticking time bomb for President Trump.
The “Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” would have imposed direct sanctions on ICC officials who “engaged in any effort to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute” an individual or entity in the United States, or any citizen or lawful resident of a US ally that has not agreed to the court’s jurisdiction.
In other words, the bill would have protected Americans and allies like Israel from being targeted by the rogue court.
The bill passed with significant bipartisan support in the House, and Senate Democrats previously said they favored it.
But at the last minute Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) manufactured a quibble to justify voting against it, claiming the bill’s “lack of precision” could have put in its crosshairs American tech companies that assist the ICC in its investigations.
Schumer’s argument was disingenuous: The first Trump administration imposed sanctions almost identical to those in the bill by executive order, without any US firms being penalized.
But it was enough to sink the ICC Act — and preserve the court’s hounding of Israel in the wake of Oct. 7.
The ICC enjoys a ballooning annual budget of $200 million, yet over its entire lifespan it has convicted a total of six individuals of the mass-atrocity crimes it was supposedly designed to prosecute.
Having had little success targeting warlords and mass murderers like Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, it turned its attention to Israel, a non-member state and globalists’ favorite punching bag.
And the action against Netanyahu came after the ICC in 2020 opened an investigation into the United States, allegedly for military service members’ war crimes in Afghanistan.
Senate Democrats are far from stupid. Their party has already used impeachment, state prosecution and federal criminal charges to target Trump — and they view the ICC warrants against Israeli officials as an avenue for a future lawfare strategy.
Four years from now, when Trump is once again an ex-president, expect the ICC to seek warrants against him, administration officials and perhaps Republican lawmakers for attempting to sanction it.
The ICC warrants against Israeli leaders show that its prosecutors can be as creative as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in manufacturing charges.
Indeed, the ICC prosecutor has already threatened American legislators with punishment merely for threatening to “retaliate” against the court with sanctions.
Of course, should a Trump indictment happen, a Democratic presidential successor would publicly lament the ICC’s overreach, while doing nothing to stop it.
The ICC is no stranger to such maneuvers. In its latest ploy targeting Israel, the court invented a state of Palestine over which to exercise its jurisdiction, then invented a phenomenon of mass starvation in Gaza to prosecute, despite the thousands of aid trucks Israel has facilitated.
Senate Democrats also claimed that sanctions would only make the ICC dig in its heels against Israel, but experience shows otherwise.
When Trump sanctioned ICC personnel via executive order in 2020, its prosecutors promptly abandoned their investigation into alleged torture by US troops stationed in Afghanistan — only to reopen the matter when President Biden rescinded the sanctions.
Ironically, ICC officials thought the court could survive the sanctions that Schumer blocked. What they truly fear is a stronger measure that would sanction the institution itself, not just its employees.
Republicans passed on imposing such a measure because Democrats signaled their support for the more limited bipartisan bill that passed the House.
Now that the façade of cooperation has disappeared, Trump has no reason not to sanction the ICC once again by executive order — and now that he’s witnessed the cozy relationship between the court and the Democrats, he knows he can’t stop at half-measures.

Why Arab nations may secretly approve of Trump’s Gaza ‘takeover’ proposal
Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations have publicly rejected President Trump’s plan to evacuate war-torn Gaza’s 2.3 million residents so the US can “take over” and redevelop the land.
But, they may come to support it in secret because it would finally solve decades of conflict and end Hamas’ iron grip, a former Israel-Palestine negotiator says.
Avi Melamed, an ex Israeli intelligence official who served as a senior Arab affairs adviser to Jerusalem, said Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan are likely interested in Trump’s future vision for Gaza as a possible solution to their Hamas problem.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to know that in the back rooms, the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, are very much happy about Trump’s… that idea of the United States taking control over the situation in Gaza,” Melamed told The Post.
“We have to remember that in the end of the day, Hamas presents Egypt and Jordan and the Saudis and the Emirates… a significant threat,” he added.
The Arab nations have previously shown disdain for Hamas, which seized power of the Gaza Strip in 2007.
Minister Karhi estimates: Hamas won't complete hostage deal...Says AG Will be Fired
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi says Attorney General may be fired soon, Hamas unlikely to return the last of the hostages.
82% Of Palestinians Freed In First Ceasefire Have Returned To Terrorism; 1 In 4 Already Killed Or Re-Arrested
New data from the IDF reveals that one in four Palestinian terrorists released under the November 2023 Israel-Hamas ceasefire has since been re-arrested or killed.
According to IDF Central Command statistics shared with Channel 13 News, 33 released terrorists have been detained again by Israeli security forces, while four were eliminated while carrying out new attacks. The alarming figures reinforce growing concerns that the mass prisoner releases—a key component of the 2023 ceasefire agreement—have strengthened terrorist organizations and fueled further violence.
Beyond the 25% who have already been re-arrested or neutralized, the Shin Bet reported earlier this week that at least 82% of the freed terrorists have returned to terrorist activity.
Beit Shemesh Leads in Frum Divorce in Israel
מה קורה בבית שמש? ▪︎ הפרשן 'עוקץ' ומסביר מדוע כל כך הרבה זוגות מתגרשים
לאחר פרסום נתוני הזוגות שהתגרשו בשנה האחרונה, לפיהם עלה כי מגמת הגירושין בבית שמש היא הגבוה ביותר מבין הערים הגדולות בארץ - עולה השאלה מה הגורם לתופעה.
הפרשן החרדי יעקב ריבלין, שנוהג לעיתים קרובות 'לעקוץ' את קהילות הצעירים המודרנים בבית שמש, מסביר כי התופעה קשורה להפיכתה של בית שמש ל'בירת החרדים החדשים (מודרנים)'.
ה"פרשנות" של ריבלין עוררה גיחוך אצל הגולשים, שהסכימו אמנם שבית שמש הפכה לבירת החרדים המודרנים, בדגש על רמה ד', אבל זו אינה הסיבה לתופעת הגירושין.

After the publication of data on couples who divorced in the past year, according to which it emerged that the divorce trend in Beit Shemesh is the highest among the large cities in the country, the question arises as to what is the cause of the phenomenon.
Ultra-Orthodox commentator Yaakov Rivlin, who often "criticizes" the modern youth communities in Beit Shemesh, explains that the phenomenon is related to the transformation of Beit Shemesh into the "capital of the new (modern) ultra-Orthodox."
Rivlin's "commentary" caused ridicule among the bloggers, who agreed that Beit Shemesh had become the capital of the modern ultra-Orthodox, with an emphasis on Rama D, but this was not the reason for the divorce phenomenon.
