Time to Shut Down Israeli Seminaries!!!

 

DIN: Shut them down! I live here in Israel and see what's going on, firsthand! I host a lot of these girls for Shabbos!  I've had granddaughters in the system! This "seminary business" is not only a business it's a "Gold-Mine" 

Roshei Yeshivas don't want to lose their students so they schemed to have their  rebbetzins  lead these seminaries, and brainwash innocent girls and instill in their innocent minds that they must marry a "Ben-Torah," with the motto that "one hand must wash the other." Then they cleverly embedded into the system that a girl who didn't attend their money-grubbing seminary is a bad choice for a shidduch! To make matters even worse, these Israeli Roshei Yeshivas with their Seminary Rebbitzens, secretly partner with the American Roshei Yeshiva such as Lakewood etc, to make it a "zach" that Bochrim need to go to Israel to learn for two years, and when they return the Chuchim fun Lakewood puts them in the freezer, creating the Shidduch Crises we have now!

SHUT IT ALL DOWN!! 

If you want your daughter to have the "Israel Experience" send them for an organized chaperoned two-month tour in the summer! 


A brewing scandal in the girls’ seminary acceptance process has sent shockwaves through the frum world, as multiple seminaries have defied a predetermined agreement and begun accepting students prematurely—threatening to unravel the entire admissions system.

According to an agreement among seminaries in Eretz Yisroel, no acceptances were to be issued before March 3rd. However, several seminaries have jumped the gun, calling high school seniors with acceptance offers and pressuring them to commit within hours. This reckless move threatens to upend the structured process, much like the chaos that recently plagued the mesivta acceptances in Lakewood when certain yeshivos disregarded agreed-upon timelines, sending other yeshivos, schools, parents, and talmidim alike scrambling to be accepted into a mesivta.

While some argue that the more established seminaries hold high schools hostage—demanding the best students and leaving newer seminaries struggling to establish themselves—it is widely agreed that breaking the rules is not the solution. Instead of undermining the system, these seminaries should seek to resolve their grievances through proper negotiations.

In response to this troubling situation, a major crackdown is already underway. Mrs. Raizel Reit of TTI, a key player in the seminary college credit and financial system, has taken concrete moves to bring an end to the chaos. TTI, which helps parents save between $9,000 and $17,000 on tuition, has issued a stern warning: any seminary that defies the agreed-upon process will be banned from partnering with TTI.

Mrs. Reit’s statement was clear: “TTI would like to require our partner seminaries to comply with the Vaad’s requirements… Any seminary not in compliance will be barred from partnering with TTI and will be unable to participate until the Vaad confirms their compliance.”

As this crisis unfolds, the question remains: will the rogue seminaries back down, or will this be the beginning of a complete overhaul of the seminary admissions process?

Hamas Was About To Surrender In December 2023 -Before Humanitarian Aid Arrived

 

Raphael Hayoun, a resident of Netivot who had been tracking Hamas and warning about the October 7 attack, revealed on Israel’s Kan 11 channel information he had come across in December 2023, just before the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip. He claimed that at the time Hamas was on the verge of surrendering and returning all of the hostages.

Hayoun is a hacker who apparently succeeded in breaking into Hamas’s internal codes and obtaining information, which he claimed on another occasion could have even prevented the Oct. 7 massacre. [Hayoun’s license to hack was mysteriously revoked before Oct. 7 and returned to him after the massacre and after he proved that he could save lives with his information].

At the beginning of the interview, anchor Ayala Hasson stated:

“We can’t say how you were exposed to this information, but we can say that these are hard facts.”

Hayoun responded and clarified:
“Everything is backed up. This is not the result of wiretapping because I am not allowed to disclose things I hear, but rather it comes from other things I do. In December 2023, three months after October 7, I heard from sources within the system—hospitals and the Red Crescent—at a time when we had truly imposed a real siege on the Gaza Strip. I heard that they were fed up and could no longer bear the lack of incoming aid, fuel, and electricity.”

Hasson pressed further:
“What you are about to tell us now is from the period when there was a heavy hand and a major siege on Gaza, before the first release of hostages last year?”

Hayoun continued:
“And then, after long minutes, a senior Hamas official came up and told them, ‘Listen, we’ve had several conversations; you should wait until tomorrow evening, and we’ll decide together what happens.’ He was trying to reassure them that a change in the siege was coming. They not only wanted to surrender but to give everything—the hostages, even Sinwar himself.”

Hayoun then described further:
“There was indeed a power outage and a real siege, but then Hamas’ ‘bad cop’ came in and told them: ‘All of your women have already been raped in the mosque in Rafah, and the next time you even think of speaking like this, we will send you their heads.’ The idea was dropped immediately, and by the next morning, they had received everything—they didn’t even wait until the evening.”

Hasson asked:
“So the siege was effective, Hamas members wanted to do everything to survive and release the hostages, but Hamas managed to activate the Qataris and Americans, and then aid started flowing in, which made them toughen their stance. Did you come across this information in real-time or only in hindsight? And did Israeli intelligence pass it on to the Americans?”

Hayoun replied:
“I was exposed to it in real-time. I passed the information on in real time, in December 2023. It was relayed to all the contacts I have within the military and the state. They said they would present it to the Prime Minister and to Biden at the time. I don’t get feedback from them—I just provide the information.”

Hasson concluded:
“The feedback was that humanitarian aid was allowed in.”

Justice Department Orders Prosecutors to Drop Charges Against Mayor Eric Adams

 

A top official at the U.S. Department of Justice has ordered federal prosecutors to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who has cultivated a warm relationship with President Donald Trump.

In a two-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, an alumnus of the Manhattan office that brought the case, said that the decision to dismiss the charges was reached without an assessment of the strength of the prosecution of the prosecution and was not meant to call into question the attorneys who filed the case.

But, Bove said, that the timing of the charges and “more recent actions” by the former U.S. attorney who led the office, Damian Williams, “have threatened the integrity of the proceedings, including by increasing prejudicial pretrial publicity that risks impacting potential witnesses and the jury pool.”

Bove also wrote that the pending prosecution has “unduly restricted” Adams’ ability to “devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that has escalated under the policies of the prior Administration.”

The Justice Department’s order directs that the case be dismissed without prejudice, which conceivably means that it could be refiled later.

Ceasefire Deal Can Be Canceled if Hamas Doesn’t Release All Hostages by Saturday, Let All Hell Break Loose.”

 


 President Donald Trump says a precarious ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be canceled if Hamas doesn’t release all the remaining hostages it is holding in Gaza by midday on Saturday.

In comments to reporters as he signed a series of executive orders, Trump said it was ultimately up to Israel. But he warned that “all hell is going to break out” if the remaining hostages aren’t released, and added that he feared many were dead.

Trump also said, however, “I’m speaking for myself. Israel can override it.”

6-year-old girl rescued from Lev Tahor and returned to her family

 



A 6-year-old girl was rescued from the Lev Tahor cult in Guatemala and transferred to the custody of her grandmother, who came especially from Israel.

This is the third case in recent weeks of children being reunited with their families.

Guatemala's Attorney General's Office confirmed that the girl was handed over to her grandmother after a comprehensive background check was conducted on the family. The grandmother will remain in Guatemala until the legal proceedings have been completed.

This rescue follows recent successes in closing down the cult. Last week, a Hasidic couple fled to the US with their children, and about three weeks ago, another family escaped from the cult.

This operation follows the authorities' raid last December on the cult compound, in which 160 abused and neglected minors were rescued. The children are still residing in the local welfare facilities.

Baba Sali's pants up for auction

 

Winner's auction house will hold a public auction, selling off holy objects which belonged to the great Kabbalist Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, better known as the "Baba Sali."

Among the prominent objects for auction are the Baba Sali's cloth pants, which he wore for many years, and which will be auctioned for a starting price of $3000.

In addition, a ten-shekel bill blessed by the Baba Sali will also be offered for auction. The bill was received from the Baba Sali's hand and given as a gift to a young boy on occasion of his bar mitzva. It was signed by the receiver. The auction starts at $1000.

The cloth pants were given by the Baba Sali as a "segula," or talisman, for protection and success, to his mythological sexton Eliyahu Alfasi, who served him faithfully for 14 years.

The Baba Sali also spoke about him, saying, "If I could tie you with the tefillin (phylacteries) straps, so that you would not move from me - I would do that."

Hostage Deal: Israel responds to Hamas ultimatum


 Hamas has announced that it is suspending the release of hostages planned for Saturday until further notice due to "Israeli violations".

Israel has rejected the accusations, stating, "The one who committed the violations is the terrorist organization. Members of the delegation who returned this morning from Qatar claimed that Hamas' conduct endangers the continuation of the deal."

The Prime Minister has convened a situational assessment to review the implications of the announcement, with the participation of Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and incoming Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Egyptian sources commented to Reuters that they believe the deal is in danger of collapse.

Defense Minister Israel Katz responded to Hamas' announcement of the cessation of the release of the hostages and said that it was a complete violation of the ceasefire agreement and the deal for their release.

"Hamas's announcement of the cessation of the release of Israeli hostages is a complete violation of the ceasefire agreement. I have ordered the IDF to prepare at the highest level of readiness for any possible scenario in Gaza and for the defense of the communities near Gaza. We will not allow a return to the reality of the 7th of October."

Chairman of Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben Gvir called for drastic measures. "Hamas's announcement should be answered with one reality: a massive assault on Gaza, from the air and the ground, alongside a complete stop to humanitarian aid to the Strip, including electricity, fuel, and water, and including the bombing of the aid packages that have already been brought in and are in the hands of Hamas in Gaza. We must return to war and destroy them!"

The Hostages' Families' Headquarters urgently appealed to the mediating countries for assistance in finding a solution that would keep the deal from collapsing. "We call upon the government of Israel to refrain from actions that endanger the implementation of the agreement that was signed and to work for its continuation and the return of our 76 brothers and sisters," the statement said. "The latest testimonies leave no room for doubt – the hostages have no time, and everyone must get out of hell with all haste."

The Prime Minister's Office responded to Hamas as well. "All families of the hostages were updated this evening following Hamas' announcement. It was emphasized to the families that the State of Israel stands by the agreement in its entirety and views any breach of it with severity."

Christian Zionist Leader: Antisemite Tucker Carlson Does Not Belong in the White House

 

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, an evangelical Christian Zionist leader, issued a sharp rebuke over the weekend after images surfaced showing conservative commentator Tucker Carlson posing alongside former President Donald J. Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk at the White House.

“Tucker Carlson’s antisemitism does not reflect the values of the Trump administration,” Cardoza-Moore said in a statement. “He is the slightly savvier mentor of Candace Owens, peddling a new, woke-right, fake-Christian form of Jew-hatred.”

Cardoza-Moore, who hosts the syndicated television program “Focus on Israel,” said she had been inundated with calls from concerned Jewish and Christian supporters following the photos. “We, the people, elected President Trump with an overwhelming majority and a mandate to stand with Israel and our Jewish brethren against the rise of antisemitism, anti-Israelism, and anti-Zionism,” she said. “Under the Biden administration, policies have incited violence against Jewish communities on college campuses, in synagogues, and other places of worship. Our 47th president is without any doubt Israel’s greatest friend in the White House ever, but Tucker Carlson’s anti-Semitism is appalling.”

In 2024, Trump won 77,284,118 votes or 49.8% of the votes cast for president. That is the second-highest vote total in US history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020.

Cardoza-Moore accused Carlson of providing a platform for Holocaust revisionists and individuals hostile to Israel. “Following the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, Tucker has chosen to amplify voices that spread antisemitic conspiracy theories,” she said. “He falsely claims that the Israel Defense Forces deliberately target civilians—an accusation with no factual basis.”

In her closing remarks, Cardoza-Moore called for Carlson to be distanced from Trump’s political orbit. “Tucker Carlson should not be allowed anywhere near the White House,” she said. “His views on Jews are demonic and in violation of the Ninth Commandment—bearing false witness against one’s neighbor. America was founded on Judeo-Christian values, and we can put America first without false prophets like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.”
