Watch Rep Randy Fine make College President squirm At Antisemitism Hearing

 


Ilhan Omar not only married her brother but managed to procure for him $18 million in Fed Grants for doing Absolutely Nothing!

 


Remember Crazy Eddie????? He is now going after Letitia James

 


Crazy Eddie, aka Sam Antar owned several appliance stores in the New York Metropolitan area, and his ads were very effective, claiming that his stores were going out of business! It didn't take too long for him to be charged and convicted for fraud! 

He did Teshuva and went on speaking tours to Shuls and Yeshivos, urging everyone to stay clean, stating that "Crime doesn't pay" ! He has now gone on a crusade targeting politicians who are fraudsters.

 AG Letitia James is his latest target and he is the one who found out that James is a crook and that everything she charged Trump with, she committed herself! 

Widow of Fallen IDF Soldier Recalls Final Conversation: “He Understood the Righteousness of the Mission”



 Yuval Urbach, the young widow of Sgt. Yishai Urbach, z”l, who fell in battle Thursday in Gaza, shared the poignant final conversation she had with her husband, just two months after their wedding.

Sgt. Urbach, 20, was killed during an IDF operation in central Gaza. A proud resident of Israel and a deeply committed soldier, Urbach was remembered by his wife as a man of conviction, strength, and purpose.

In an emotional interview with Channel 13, Yuval recounted that Yishai’s final words were full of determination and clarity of mission. “Tomorrow, we’re finally going to bomb [it],” he told her. “This mission has been delayed for two days. We’re finally going to do it.”

“I was filled with emotion that morning,” Yuval said. “We are a people of strength, of power, and of goodness — and yet our enemies come to destroy us. Yishai understood the depth of what he was doing. He knew he was fighting a righteous battle against those who rise against Am Yisrael.”

Yuval, who spoke with composure and heartfelt pride, emphasized the sanctity and courage with which her husband served. “I am proud of him,” she said. “He represented us — Am Yisrael — with honor. He was proud to wear the uniform and to defend our people.”

Sgt. Urbach was laid to rest in his hometown, surrounded by family, fellow soldiers, and mourners from across the country who came to pay their respects. His passing has resonated deeply, particularly within the Orthodox community, where his commitment to Torah, his people, and the Land of Israel were widely known and admired.

As Israel continues to face ongoing threats, stories like that of Yishai Urbach, z”l, serve as painful yet powerful reminders of the bravery and sacrifice borne by young men and women defending the Jewish homeland.

Frum Media Ignore 3-Day Celebrations observed by the Majority of the Jewish People!

 


The majority of the Jewish people, close to 6 million, excluding less than 1 million Charedim, observed 3 days of commemorations, days that changed the entire world! 

I'll start with Yom HaShoah

Jews around the world celebrate Purim with Megillah readings, masquerading, and eating a Seuda! Some even celebrate 3 days, like we had this year! 

Let me ask a stupid question! 

How many Jews did Haman kill?? 

The answer is, of course, ZERO! Haman didn't kill one single Jew, yet we make sure to remember every year that he tried! 

Hitler ym"s murdered 6 million Jews and changed the lives of millions that survived, forever, and yet there isn't a single day set aside to commemorate the single worst calamity to have befallen the Jewish people in its entire history!

 In just about 10 years, there won't be a single survivor to tell the story! 

Finally, Zionists set one special day for all of us to remember that awful period! One part of the ceremony that they perform that day is that they blow the Siren for two minutes to give pause and remember the innocent men, women, and children who were so brutally murdered! 

You would think that Frum Jews in Israel would honor those two minutes and stand with millions of their own brothers and sisters to be part, albeit for just two minutes, to be one unit! 

Think again!! They have all kinds of excuses!! 

"Zionists!" "The Rabbis say it is bittul Torah!" "It's in Chodesh Nissan" "The Rabbis set aside Tisha Be'ov" 

Bla Bla Bla Bla!!

Let's move on to Yom Ha'zikoron! 

With Yom Ha'Zikoron there is no excuse that it is in Chodesh Nissan! Because Yom Ha'Zikoron is in Iyar! 

Yom Ha'Zikoron commemorates all Jews who have fallen, including those civilians murdered by terrorists! There isn't a Jew living in Israel that you bump into who doesn't have a relative who fell or got injured in the wars! 

 I had the occasion to visit Har Herzl and noticed an entire area dedicated to very young people who died fighting so that Jews from the entire world could live in the country! The dead had all been in concentration camps, and when liberated, arrived in 1946, 1947, and took arms to make sure we have a country that would admit ALL Jews! Some of the dead were teenagers! 

I was sitting in Kollel when the Siren blew for two minutes! My Chabura stood up and remained silent for two minutes! The rest of the "yungerleit" continued as if nothing had happened! Mind you, in the shul where the Kollel is housed, there are families that have children who were injured! Across the street from this kollel were three funerals this year, of young men who were murdered in Gaza! 

Those learning in the kollel, are young guys who are the friendliest, nicest people that you would ever encounter! What they won't do to help a fellow Jew! Yet here they are, totally ignoring the siren on purpose! Immediately after the siren, some get up to get a coffee or a bite of mezonos and carry on! 

I'm thinking, what just happened? Should I say something?

The answer is that they are really good, kind people, but are totally disconnected and oblivious to what is happening around them! They do follow the news because I hear their conversations, and they do run out of Kollel like poisoned rats during a missile siren, but feel that all this has nothing to do with them! 

I'm not even going to talk about Yom Ha'atzmot, but many did run out early to make the traditional "al ha'eish" a bar-b-q with their young families! 

But my question is this: 

I waited a full a full week to see if the frum Anglo Jewish Media would even give these days an "Honorable Mention"? ZERO!!!!! Nada ! 

Millions of Jews commemorate these days, like it or not, and not one word! 

Let me share with you a sampling of what the Flatbush Jewish Journal's "Centerfold" displayed!

A series of photos of the Children of the Yeshivah Torah Temima visiting Dr. Norowitz's office, Photos of pre-school children of Yeshiva Torah Vodass enjoying the outdoors!

All this while millions of Jews were running to shelters, dodging Houthi ballistic Rockets! 

I am not even asking that they write something nice, is it too much to ask that they write a 12-sentence article about an event that is commemorated by Millions of Jews?? 

The gemarrah in Taanis discusses minor tragic events that happened to Jewish people, but we are frummer than the gemmarrah!

Understanding Trump

 


Understanding Donald Trump is a hazardous sort of punditry as he is mercurial, a man of contradictions, not entirely coherent in his policy pronouncements, and given to abrupt changes without explanation.

That he is now reportedly “frustrated” with Prime Minister Netanyahu is not entirely surprising (join the club). The report may be untrue – the media “reports” some rumor or scandal almost daily; most are usually forgotten the next day when what was reported does not materialize – and almost always are promoted by someone with an agenda. Stuff is made up all the time and quickly forgotten after the initial shock and outrage dissipate.

Nonetheless, if Trump’s frustration with Netanyahu is real, why would that be? And should it be a cause for concern? First, a word about Trump.

Civil War Breaks Out After Mark Levin Calls Top Trump Official a Traitor

 

An online war of words between different factions of the MAGA movement broke out after Fox News’ Mark Levin essentially branded Trump Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff a traitor in a Friday social media post.

Reacting to a clip of Witkoff arguing that “The neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things” shared by the White House’s official rapid response account, Levin wrote:

lol. The envoy talks like the fifth column isolationists. Nobody believes war is the only way. We wait with great interest to see the deal you’re negotiating with the warmonger Iranian terrorist regime. In the meantime, rather than sloganeering against patriotic Americans who love our country, use your name-calling for the terrorist regime that has murdered Americans, tried to assassinate our president, chants death to America, and has lied its way toward a nuclear bomb.

Levin’s commentary inspired a number of Trump-aligned voices to weigh in on the debate over what Trump’s foreign policy ought to look like.

Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim in Monsey Closed after putting Jewish Children in a Building that had Dozens of Fire Violations

 






The building is owned by Rabbi Zaks a great-grandchild of the late Chofetz Chayim! 

Town officials in the Rockland County community of Ramapo are ordering a school with no electricity and other safety violations to shut down.

Building inspectors were back at 82 Highview Road on Friday as the town moves forward with efforts to shut down the facility for good.

The building operates as an Orthodox Jewish school, dormitory and day care center for an estimated 55 students, but has recently been slapped with numerous safety violations.

Court filings show photographs taken during inspections showing generators being used to power the building because of a lack of electric service, a tangle of extension cords running into the building that officials claim have no working fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors or smoke detectors.

The town says the building lacks a certificate of occupancy and is otherwise unsanitary in a summons describing it as a "clear and present danger to human life" in its present condition.

There was no comment from administrators in the school but a sign out front says Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim is not operating on the property until further notice.

A court hearing scheduled for next week could determine whether it will ever again.
