Lt. Stav Moses Honors Her Fallen Sister's Legacy
Lt. Stav Moses joined the Rescue Brigade, following her late sister Or, who fell in battle on October 7 while defending her soldiers.
At her officer's ceremony, Stav received an emotional surprise—her parents presented her with her sister's shoulder straps, bringing tears to her eyes.
Hochul’s cowardice is on full display as she surrenders to noisy anti-Adams, anti-Trump crowds
Gov. Hochul falls short on governing skills, but there is one area where she’s the absolute top of the heap: No politician shrinks faster in the face of big problems than she does.
Exhibit A is her sudden decision to hold showy meetings Tuesday about whether to remove Mayor Adams.
It was a strange move to start with, topped only by her belatedly punting the decision to another day.
It ranks as one of the most bizarre political stunts New York has ever seen.
She injects herself into a no-win volatile situation yet offers no solutions.
Her unsteady hand in a moment of crisis adds to the swirling doubts about the city’s immediate future.
Hochul could have reasonably and fairly said that while she didn’t like the messy way President Trump’s Department of Justice was moving to drop the criminal charges against Adams, she would let the process play out before making any decisions.
Instead, in an apparent surrender to the noisy anti-Adams, anti-Trump crowds in Albany and the city, she called the meetings with the clear suggestion she was ready to show Adams the door.
Which is odd because she’s had the power to remove him all along, but his indictment back in September didn’t lead her to use that power.
She had him shuffle the deck of some suspect aides and presto, they were good to go.
That was the right decision because the charges are not nearly strong enough to justify bringing down a mayor or even tipping the balance against him in his re-election year.
Yet all of Hochul’s harmony with Adams disappeared the instant the mayor pledged to work with ICE detention officials.
Rav Dov Landau Directs Chareidim to Withdraw from Zionist Institutions but Continue Voting!
Interesting, very interesting!
Rav Dov Landau what has suddenly changed?
And why continue voting? Could it be because of the mighty shekel??
R' Landau says we "continue voting because of the ruling of previous "dead" rabbis! Well, the "previous rabbis" ruled that they should join the government, and they ruled that way at a time when the government was entirely Leftist!
Rav Landau is finally smelling the morning coffee and has been told that the majority of frum Jews cannot understand why healthy chareidim won't help their brethren fight in a war for survival! He was also told that Frum Jews support the government stopping payments to avreichim that refuse to work!
He figures that if he gets his followers to disconnect like he himself is disconnected that will keep the naive Litvishe followers in check!
What this report leaves out is actually the most ridiculous thing R' Landau said, he wants "to live under the Arab Flag!" Why doesn't he move to Ramallah?
Most Israelis welcome Rav Landau's ruling, in fact, I saw all the Leftist Media celebrating! ,
Rabbi Dov Landau, a prominent leader within Israel’s Lithuanian ultra-Orthodox community, has instructed representatives of the Degel HaTorah political party to withdraw from all participation in Zionist institutions, citing ideological differences.
In a letter published in the ultra-Orthodox daily Yated Ne’eman, Landau criticized Zionism as a secular movement “rooted in heresy and rebellion against divine sovereignty,” urging that any involvement in Zionist institutions is a form of support for beliefs that contradict traditional Jewish values.
Landau’s opposition comes amid ongoing debates about the role of ultra-Orthodox communities within Zionist frameworks. While Israel’s ultra-Orthodox factions have long distanced themselves from the Zionist project, recent shifts have seen more Orthodox participation in institutions like the World Zionist Organization (WZO). However, Landau’s stance remains firm in rejecting involvement in these bodies, emphasizing the theological divide between secular Zionism and religious Judaism.
The directive to withdraw from the WZO and its affiliated bodies could have significant implications for Degel HaTorah, a key faction within the United Torah Judaism party. The WZO, which oversees influential bodies like the Jewish Agency and the Jewish National Fund, plays a critical role in global Jewish affairs. The decision marks a deepening rift in Israel’s religious-political landscape, particularly in relation to the ultra-Orthodox community’s interaction with secular institutions.
Hamas Supporters Underestimated the strength and unity of Boro-Park Jewish residents
In response, the local community organized a counter-protest, pushing back some of the demonstrators
Outnumbered and surrounded, the Hamas supporters quickly realized they had chosen the wrong community to target. Instead of intimidating them, they found themselves on the defensive as the Jewish community organized a powerful counter-protest.
The Jewish community turned the tables—standing strong, standing together!
NOW:Fights break out during Israel Real Estate event in Borough Park Brooklyn, police rush to separate Pro-Palestine and Pro-Israel protesters outside of the venue.

Rabbi Medan answers Rabbi Lando: 'They may learn the Torah, but they are not following it'
Rabbi Yaakov Medan, head of Har Etzion Yeshiva, responds to the comments by the dean of the Slabodka Yeshiva Rabbi Dov Lando, considered one of the leaders of the non-Hassidic (Litvish) haredi community, against Zionism and participation in the army.
"When a great Rabbi wants to acknowledge a miracle, why does he need to disparage the soldiers and say they only interposed between God and the world? Somewhere it has been established that there are two tracks that do not intersect. We must either thank God, as is mentioned repeatedly in the Bible or thank a man, if God is to be taken out of the picture."
"The ability to know how to be grateful to soldiers and at the same time to know how dependent we are on the deeds of the Almighty, and to live with this complexity, apparently is not a self-evident thing."
Rabbi Medan emphasized, "What they are doing by not going to the army is studying Torah and not observing it. It is like studying the laws of tzitzit and not wearing tzitzit, studying the laws of tefillin, and not putting on tefillin. This thing - helping Israel in the war - is the observance of Torah."
AG Gali Baharav-Miara drew criticism from FM Gideon Sa'ar after she demanded to be consulted on the legality of Trump's plan to relocate Gaza residents.
During the cabinet discussion held yesterday (Monday), Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara demanded that the ministers consult with her regarding the legality of US President Donald Trump's plan to relocate residents of the Gaza Strip to third countries.
Channel 13 News reported that Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who appointed Baharav-Miara to her position, responded sharply to her demand, saying, "Trump did not consult with attorneys general before coming up with the plan."
He added: "The honorable attorney general is not the political echelon, we are the political echelon and we make the decisions. We will decide what and you tell us how."
Otzma Yehudit Chairman MK Itamar Ben-Gvir responded, "The government's only next consultation with Gali Baharav-Miara should be whether she prefers to receive her dismissal letter by hand or by email."
68 percent of the Israeli public supports US President Donald Trump's plan for the Gaza Strip, according to a poll published on Channel 12 News on Monday evening.
