Ben-Gvir Demands That A-G Be Forced To Adhere To Her Own Guidelines

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Sunday sent a letter to Justice Minister Yariv Levin in which he demands that Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara be forced to adhere to the guidelines that she herself set and bear the cost of her personal defense in the Supreme Court’s discussions regarding her dismissal by the government.

In the past, Baharav-Miara instructed ministers, including Ben-Gvir, to hire their own representation concerning petitions against their continued tenure. However, now that she herself is in that position, she has not hired her own representation but is using the resources of the State Attorney’s Office to defend herself.

Ben Gvir stated in the letter, “It is astonishing to see how someone who sets guidelines for the government blatantly deviates from them when it concerns herself. The Attorney General not only thwarts the government’s policy since the day she took office but also uses public funds and employees to fight against the Israeli government in a petition dealing with her dismissal. The public should not pay for her defense, nor should the employees who report to her.”

Ben Gvir noted that according to Baharav-Miara’s own directive, elected officials cannot be represented by the state regarding petitions against their continued tenure. But now, contrary to the rules she set, she is using the petitions department in the State Attorney’s Office to defend herself, in a clear conflict of interest and at the expense of the taxpayer.

“The list of reasons for which the government is obligated to dismiss her is longer than the sea. And now, there is also a brimming bucket of hypocrisy, double standards, and contempt for elected officials and the public as a whole,” Ben-Gvir concluded.

Israeli Supreme Court Rules Women Must Be Allowed to Take Rabbinate Exams

DIN: Please Note:

This has nothing to do with giving women semicha in any way, shape, or form. Passing the rabbinate tests results in several benefits, e.g., it can be recognized as the equivalent of a college degree in certain contexts. What the court ruled is that women cannot be denied the opportunity to take the exams in order to receive those benefits.

And another important point:

Nobody has gone OTD because of an Israeli Supreme Court decision. What drives thousands of Jews away from Torah today and is the greatest threat to Judaism, is when yiddishkeit is perverted and fake chumros and halachos are made up. The anti Torah threat, is overwhelmingly from within.

Israel’s Supreme Court last week ruled that the Chief Rabbinate must allow women to take its rabbinic exams. The justices said excluding women from the exams — which are tied to academic equivalency and government employment — is unconstitutional.

“The exclusion of women from these exams constitutes illegal discrimination,” wrote Justice Ofer Grosskopf in the ruling. “A public authority in Israel cannot deny services based on gender.”

The exams test knowledge of Jewish law in areas like kosher slaughter and family purity. While they don’t grant the title of “rabbi,” passing them enables men to qualify for roles in the religious public sector. Women were previously barred.

Several groups, including ITIM and Kolech, brought the case.

The Chief Rabbinate had proposed a separate track for women, but the court dismissed that as inherently unequal. Former Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef had even threatened to cancel the exams rather than open them to women.

Justice Daphne Barak-Erez responded pointedly: “These are women of Torah, women of halacha, who seek recognition. The state cannot slam the door on them.”

 

Riots against the Tziyoinim

 from EMAILIM BATORAH

Parshas Hashavua מטות-מסעי וידבר ה' אל משה נקם נקמת בני ישראל--- וישלח אתם משה--ואת פינחס Hashem commanded משה to take revenge against the מדינים personally. However, משה couldn't bring himself to do so, and instead, appointed פנחס & others to fight the מדינים. The מדרש explains that the reason משה didn't take personal revenge as he was commanded, was that he benefited from the מדינים forty years before when he escaped from פרעה in מצרים While in מדין, Moshe didn't receive education subsidies, healthcare, social welfare, etc. However, because they allowed him to live in מדין. he couldn't bring himself to fight them. Perhaps, the rioting against the ציונים הרשעים should also, be done only by those who live in חוץ לארץ & don't benefit from any social programs of the Zionist State. בּוֹר שֶׁשָּׁתִיתָ מִמֶּנּוּ אַל תִּזְרֹק בּוֹ אֶבֶן - קל וחמר בור שאתה עוד שותה ממנו - אַל תִּזְרֹק בּוֹ אֶבֶן

A Land in Which Tradition Breathes and Changes Flow ...The Daughters of Tzlafchad!

 The instructions for dividing the Land of Israel had just been delivered to Moshe. Larger shevatim were granted broader tracts of territory. 

To ensure fairness and to prevent suspicions of favoritism, the process was governed by a supernatural lottery or goral, not human judgment. Everything seemed ready. The long-awaited Divine promise was at last unfolding: we were poised to enter the Land of Hashem. Every shevet and every family had been counted and prepared. 

 All except for one. Thirty-eight years earlier, a man named Tzelafchad had died in the desert, for reasons the Torah does not disclose. He left behind no sons. As inheritance passes along the male line, his absence cast a shadow over the future, threatening to erase his legacy.

No sons meant no one to carry his name forward, no one to inherit his portion of land and no anchor to the soil of Israel. 

 His five daughters stepped forward, approaching Moshe in search of a solution. Moshe is confronted with a challenge he cannot resolve alone. How can he uphold halachic integrity while addressing their rightful yearning?

 Uncertain, he refers their case to Hashem. 

Both the Chazon Ish and Rav Eliyashiv Wrote that "Everyone is required to Defend Israel in Milchemes Mitzva"

 

by Menachim Rehat as printed in the pamphlet Matzav Huruach

Loosely translated to English 

This is not the first time that the Chareidie leadership has lost sight of reality who unfortunately stand on the sidelines while others have been serving for 400 days, their families falling apart, their businesses collapsing, and their health severely undermined; this callousness will never be forgotten and will be remembered forever 

The greatest poskim including the Chazon Ish and Rabbi Elyashiv require going out to defend Israel 

1. At two historical junctures, the Charedie  leadership lost the ability to see reality that was expected of them. 

The first time was about 80 years ago, when the biggest disaster befell our people.

 At the time, the leadership did not read the map correctly and instructed its followers not to immigrate to the Land of Israel and to continue to cling to the impurity of exile, a move that ended with the loss of millions of our brothers in the furnaces of Auschwitz.

The second time, is happening now, right before our eyes, when Talmedei Chachamim and Torah scholars insist on preventing their followers, through all kinds of political twists, from coming to Israel's aid from the hand of the oppressor that insists on killing all of us even at these very moments. 

So they yell, as is the custom of Satmar and the Peleg,: "We shall be killed and not transgress. 'We will die and not enlist.' 

Listen to the rhetoric of Minister Meir Porush in the Knesset plenum: 

"If they had told us at the establishment of the State that it would look the way it does today, that we would not be able to study Torah in the Land of Israel, they would arrest yeshiva students who study Torah... In my opinion, Agudat Yisrael would say that it does not want a Jewish state."

So That's it?  Burn down the club. Is A third exile preferable?

Liberman warns Iran is ‘obsessed’ with revenge, calls for Israel to strike first

 

Former defense minister Avigdor Liberman said Saturday that Iran is “obsessed” with seeking revenge against Israel following the 12-day war between the two enemy nations, warning that Jerusalem will have to strike again at some point.

Liberman, who heads the opposition Yisrael Beytenu party, told the Channel 12 news program “Meet the Press” that revenge is “all the Iranian leadership thinks about.”

“I could tell you the same thing that the intelligence assessments and officials say” about Iran’s nuclear capabilities in the wake of the Israeli and US strikes, he added, saying “they all speak of around one to two years” for Iran to reconstitute its nuclear program.

While Tehran’s nuclear ambitions will remain a problem, Liberman said, “what is more worrying is that all Iran is currently obsessed with is waging a war of revenge” against Israel.

“That’s the only thing that interests them right now. A war of revenge, that’s it,” he stated.

When asked if he thinks that means Israel should attack Iran again, Liberman answered that “it would be worthwhile for us to strike first again.”

“This time, Iran wants to deliver the first blow,” he said.

He also said, “It’s not just theoretical” that Iran is working to revive its nuclear program.

“And what worries me most are the ballistic missiles,” Liberman said. “You saw what happened here when just 26 missiles landed inside Israel and the level of damage that it caused.”

“They are preparing for a major strike,” he continued, adding that Iran has thousands of missiles. “Imagine if it wasn’t just 26 missiles that impact Israel, what if it were 260 missiles? What kind of damage would that cause?”

Therefore, “we have no other choice” but to strike Iran first, according to Liberman, who said that is what he would do if he were in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position. “I hope that is what they are planning.”

“And I would tell the Mossad to work toward one goal: regime change,” he said, arguing that total regime change is the only way to ensure that Iran is not a threat to Israel.

Iran and Israel last exchanged blows after the Israeli military launched a surprise assault on nuclear and military targets inside Iran on June 13, 2025, kicking off a 12-day war between the two sides.

Israel said its assault was necessary to prevent the Islamic Republic from realizing its avowed plan to destroy the Jewish state.

Though Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons, it enriched uranium to levels that have no peaceful application, obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities. The Islamic Republic had taken recent steps toward weaponization, Israel said during the war.

Iran retaliated against Israel’s strikes by launching over 500 ballistic missiles and around 1,100 drones at Israel. The attacks killed 29 people and wounded over 3,000 in Israel, according to health officials and hospitals. Iran also attacked a US base in Qatar in retaliation for Washington’s strikes.

Obama "The Criminal" Exposed!

 

 "We had, in President Obama and his leadership team, people who did not want to accept the will of the American people in electing Donald Trump in 2016 - and therefore cooked up this treasonous conspiracy to... effectively launch a years-long coup against the sitting President of the United States."

DIN: I have to point out that the Satmar Rebbe of Monroe, R' Aaron Teitelbaum backed this criminal Obama against a Jewish Prime Minister, when PM Netanyahu came to address Congress on the danger of Iran. 

The Satmar Rebbe had his followers write thousands of letters to Congress to try to halt Netanyahu from speaking and not only that, but even after he spoke, the Satmar Rebbe denigrated and mocked a Jewish leader of millions of Jews! 

The Satmar Rebbe has yet to apologize for this perfidy, and to his pandering to an antisemite goy! 

This is surreal. Here in America, the Director of National Intelligence @DNIGabbard is now stating emphatically that a former President of the United States @BarackObama attempted a coup against the @POTUS @realDonaldTrump .

This is why @TulsiGabbard was attacked so relentlessly… pic.twitter.com/v0dK5xoKwb

Crazy Ruling! Court Freezes Trump’s ICC Sanctions

 

A federal judge in Maine on Friday barred the Trump administration from enforcing sanctions on two U.S. citizens and human rights advocates who work with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

On April 11, Matthew Smith and Akila Radhakrishnan, a human rights nonprofit leader and lawyer, respectively, filed a 39-page lawsuit against President Donald Trump and several other members of his administration over an executive order that imposes sanctions on the ICC, prohibits certain interactions with designated ICC officials, and threatens both civil and criminal penalties for any such violations.

The lawsuit was premised on the idea that the sanctions "violate their First Amendment rights, and those of others like them, by prohibiting their constitutionally protected speech." The plaintiffs, in late April, requested a preliminary injunction barring the government "from imposing civil or criminal penalties on them" for "provision of speech-based services" to the ICC's Office of the Prosecutor (OTP).

Now, U.S. District Judge Nancy Torresen, a Barack Obama appointee, has granted that requested relief in a 16-page order.

Connie Francis, Whose Ballads Dominated ’60s Pop Music, Dies at 87

 

You may ask why would I post this? 

Well I grew up in Crown Heights and so did Connie Francis, and even though she was an Italian shiksa, she spoke fluent Yiddish and even put out a very popular Yiddish Recording! 

Francis was born on December 12, 1937, to an Italian-American family (one of her grandfathers having immigrated from Reggio Calabria in 1905)^[2][3] in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, the first child of George Franconero (1911–1996) and Ida (née Ferrari-di Vito; 1911–2000). She spent her first years in the Crown Heights, Brooklyn area (Utica Avenue/St Mark's Place) before the family moved to New Jersey.^[4] Growing up in a mixed Italian-Jewish neighborhood, Francis became fluent in Yiddish, which led her later to record songs in Yiddish and Hebrew.^[4][5]

‘Too Close to Skver’: What One Mother Discovered About Her Neighbors

 

See the website that explains the Skver Terror Tactics on their neighbors!

As we stand on the threshold of the 17th of Tammuz and the start of the Three Weeks, I feel it’s important to highlight a different side of the so-called “Unholy Mile.” A few months ago, I took one of my children to a specialist in Westchester. In the waiting room, I noticed a young chassidish mother holding her baby. Later, as I was leaving, I saw her standing outside waiting for a taxi. I asked where she was headed. She said, “New Square.” I smiled and told her I lived in New Hempstead and would be happy to give her a ride. She gratefully accepted.

I think she may have misunderstood where I lived. On the way, she shared that it was “good” I lived in Wesley Hills and not too close to New Square. She explained that they didn’t want others moving nearby — chas v’shalom, they might want to send their children to their schools. So, leadership in the community came up with a plan: buy up the homes within a mile and rent them to non-Jews to discourage other frum families from settling there. She even mentioned her father-in-law had bought one of the houses.

I didn’t respond. I stayed quiet the rest of the way.
