The Scammer from Beit Shemesh! "Gemach Chasdei Yosef" Exposed as a fraud!


From CBN 

 *"Gemach Chasdei Yosef," which has run full-page ads in major frum magazines for YEARS, has been exposed as an alleged fraud operation targeting struggling Jewish families.*

After a months-long investigation cleared by NJ-based Rabbanim, overwhelming evidence reveals the operation's true nature.

For years, Gemach Chasdei Yosef used the sacred word "gemach" to gain trust. Their promise: "We have special bank relationships. We can get your credit card rates to 0%."

The reality: It is anything but a gemach. They lied about dozens of things and allegedly charged their victims thousands of dollars up front for services that federal law prohibits from requiring advance fees, often before even signing a contract, for ordinary debt management services that legitimate nonprofits provide for about $25 a month.

Ben Sion Abadi ( who lives In Beit Shemesh) allegedly operates both “Gemach Chasdei Yosef” and the so-called “law firm” M Law Collect, creating what sources describe as a fake referral system designed to disguise a single predatory operation. Victims report unauthorized credit-card charges, excessive and prohibited fees, fake email accounts created in their names, and being locked out of their own debt-management accounts.

More on the Humiliating "Aveirah Tantz"

 

From EMAILIM BATORAH 



Origin of the Mitzvah Tanz

 

                                   עבירה טאנץ

Five hundred years ago, the Minhag in Poland was for the wedding guests, especially the תלמידי חכמים and חשובים to dance holding hands with the כלה.

The היתר for this practice was given that it was done כדי לחבבה על בעלה, 
to increase her husband’s affection for her, and also  - for the כבוד of her father.

There was no concern for the guests having illicit thoughts, being
it wasn't done as דרך חיבה (affection) and also because they were dancing in public, while others observed them.

The מהרש"ל   and others opposed this מנהג. They tried to abolish it.
They held this to be a מצוה הבא בעבירה. (Aveirah dance)
 holding hands of an אשת איש

The ב"ח wrote that in his region,( Galicia) this Minhag was still practiced. He didn't condemn it.  However, he did condemn this practice in those areas where there was no such Minhag.

Some would hold hands with the כלה, but would have a kerchief
separating their hands so as not to have skin touching skin.

The תורת חיים writes that holding hands is אסור even when a kerchief is used between the hands.

                                       מצוה טאנץ
At a later date, dancing with the כלה not holding hands was introduced. The כלה would hold on to one corner of a kerchief* and the guest to the other corner of the kerchief.


Thus, what was once considered an Aveirah Tanz became the Mitzvah Tanz.



שו"ע אהע"ז כ"א:ה
פתחי תשובה אהע"ז ס"ה:ב

Chassidim,  replaced the kerchief with a gartel
** BTW The כוונות while performing the מצוה טאנץ should be לחבבה על בעלה & כבוד אביה

Yated Editor Israel Friedman says that Rav Landau Said "We are War" No no no ! Not with Hamas but with other Jews! Unbelievable!


 DIN:I decided not to comment! I thought it better to just highlight in Green the outrageous, sick sayings of this nutcase! I will highlight in red those statements that I want you guys to read carefully!

Israel Friedman, editor-in-chief of the Yated Ne'eman newspaper, sought over the past weekend to clarify the haredi position in light of the ongoing war and the complex issue of military conscription.

Yated Ne'eman is not a newspaper, it is a mouthpiece,” he declared in an interview with Makor Rishon, emphasizing that every sharp headline published is backed by a clear rabbinic directive.

I’m not the free press. I am the voice of the Torah sages. For people to read me, I need to be engaging, but even when I write a political headline, I pray to have a good newspaper that will be able to fulfill its role and make the Torah sages' voices heard.”

Referring to a July 2024 front-page headline “Declaration of War,” which appeared after Rabbi Dov Lando called on yeshiva students not to report to IDF draft offices, Friedman stressed that Rabbi Lando, “wanted the message to be precise: It was a declaration of war.”

“The intention was that the State is the one who declared war on the haredim,” he claimed.

Regarding the Draft Law, Friedman alleged:

“When it comes to preserving the Jewish people, the majority of the population in the Land of Israel is evading the draft. There is no equality in burden-sharing. The soldiers who are fighting have taken it upon themselves to preserve the Israeli nation, to protect bodies, but they are not engaged in preserving the Jewish people.”

Asked about the soldiers fighting in Gaza, he responded: “Going to fight in Gaza is not preserving the Jewish people; it is preserving the Israeli people. When it comes to preserving the Jewish people, only we contribute.”

He added: “The army says it lacks combat soldiers, and I say: we lack Torah learners! We must further increase the learning in the yeshivas.”

Friedman also warned that the haredi parties might not join with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the next election.

“It’s no secret that in our political positions, we do not belong to the Right,” he said. “The moment that joining together endangers the core of the Jewish nation's existence, which is Torah learners, the question will return to the table of the Torah sages, and I cannot tell you what will happen. Nothing is out of the question.”

***********************************************************************

What Israel Friedman didn't say is that the Yated is full of Loshon Hara! I'm not talking about talking Loshon Hara against Zionists, but Loshon Hara against other Gedoilim that don't agree with them. 

Also it is important to point out that the late pervert and rapist Chaim Walder wrote a weekly column there and we now know as a fact that their Gedoilei Advisors whom he calls "The voice of the Torah Sages" were aware of Walder's actions as some of his victims consulted with them and those very "Sages" told them that they must get divorced! 

Bnei Brak Charedim Beat the crap out of Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuelik Greenberg


 


Beit Shemesh Mayor Shmuelik Greenberg Attacked by Charedim During Wedding in Bnei Brak

This would be laughable—if it weren’t so tragic.

Shmuelik Greenberg, once the darling of the Charedi establishment, ran under the Degel HaTorah banner and was installed as their loyal puppet. 

During the mayoral elections—just weeks after October 7—they dragged Rav Landau to a rally to oust the incumbent, Dr. Aliza Bloch, a proud shomeret Torah u’mitzvos. Rav Landau declared the election a Milchemes Mitzvah, shut down yeshivos across Beit Shemesh and neighboring cities where Beit Shesh Bochrim were learning, and bused them in to vote. Unsurprisingly, Greenberg won.

All this while the real Milchemes Mitzvah was raging in Gaza, where hundreds of Jewish soldiers were sacrificing their lives al kiddush Hashem

Now, it seems Shmulik has strayed from the script. He’s refused to enforce fanatical demands like banning family seating in eateries etc. And for that, he’s been branded a traitor.

Last year, he was assaulted at a wedding in Beit Shemesh—police had to extract him wearing a helmet to protect him from Charedi thugs. This time, they waited until he attended a simcha out of town, in Bnei-Brak. Word got out, and they pounced—beating him viciously, all under the banner of yet another self-declared Milchemes Mitzvah.

This isn’t just political drama. It’s a dangerous descent into mob rule, where violence replaces dialogue and intimidation replaces leadership. And it’s happening in the name of Torah.


About an hour ago, Mayor Shmulik Greenberg was assaulted by Chassidim while attending a wedding in the city of Bnei Brak

Degal Hatorah to veto death sentence for terrorists Following the footsteps of the Arab Knesset List

 

DIN:Fascinating, isn’t it? First they refuse to serve in the army, and now they want to keep terrorists alive—as bargaining chips for the next time Jews are kidnapped. It’s a twisted logic that rewards evil and punishes responsibility.

The Satmar Rebbe was right: frum Jews should never have joined the Knesset. And now, watching their leadership twist halachic concepts to justify moral cowardice, I understand why he called them minim and apikorsim. They’ve abandoned clarity, courage, and truth.

Rav Lando argues that executing terrorists could provoke global Arab violence—that it’s a case of rodef, endangering Jewish lives. He says the courts won’t approve it anyway, so why stir the pot?

Well, I have news for Rav Lando: terrorists who are executed don’t murder, rape and kidnap again. Sinwar was spared, and that decision led directly to the horrors we’ve witnessed—rape, murder, and mass kidnapping. That’s not theoretical. That’s blood on the ground.

Keeping terrorists alive isn’t mercy—it’s madness. And dressing it up in halachic language doesn’t make it holy. It makes it dangerous.

The bill to impose the death penalty on terrorists is expected to be brought for a vote in the Knesset plenum on Monday, but it appears not to have blanket support among coalition factions.

The Lithuanian-Charedi Degel Hatorah faction, half of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party, has announced that its MKs will vote against the proposal following a Sunday night instruction from Rabbi Dov Lando, the faction’s spiritual leader.

Among Rabbi Lando’s arguments is a claim that there is a concern of "rodef," someone pursuing another to take his life, "because if Arabs around the world see that we are doing something like this, it could lead to bloodshed. In any case there is no chance that a court will approve the death penalty, so this is provocation for its own sake."

Members of Chasidic Agudat Yisrael faction, the other half of UTJ, are expected to be absent from the vote, and Sephardic-haredi Shas has not yet reached a final decision on how its Knesset members will act; the matter is still under internal discussion.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who chairs Otzma Yehudit, responded: "Unfortunately, [Degel Hatorah chairman MK Moshe] Gafni once again chose his old alliance with [Joint Arab List MK Ahmad] Tibi. Gafni’s habit of veering to the left contradicts the views of his voters who are persecuted by the Left. The death penalty for terrorists will deliver justice and deterrence, also for the haredi families [whose loved ones were] murdered in attacks, and I expect all haredi Knesset members to support this life-saving law, and not believe the hollow promises of the Left and the Arab parties."

"Choosing Life," a forum that brings together hundreds of bereaved families and terror victims, sent a sharp letter to the Degel Hatorah MKs, demanding they not vote against the bill to sentence terrorists to death.

The families recalled the Knesset members’ support for releasing terrorists in the past and said the law would be for them “the beginning of a correction and a bit of consolation.” In their view, “This law is not only a matter of justice; it is a law to save lives. It will deter potential terrorists, prevent their release in future deals, and ensure that the blood of our loved ones was not spilled in vain.”

The bill is promoted by Otzma Yehudit, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, with the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The proposal stipulates that a terrorist who murdered an Israeli civilian out of racial or communal hostility, with the aim of harming the State of Israel and the rebirth of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, shall be sentenced to death, and only to death.

In addition, the proposal changes the law so that the death penalty could be handed down by a military court with a regular majority of judges, and not only unanimously. It also prevents any mitigation of the sentence of someone who has been given the death penalty in a final judgment.

Brig. Gen. (res.) Gal Hirsch, Israel’s coordinator for hostages and missing persons, also voiced support for the law last week.

“Previously I opposed the law because of the danger to hostages in Gaza,” Hirsch said. “Because all of the living hostages have been returned, the reality has changed. I spoke with the Prime Minister, and he supports the law.”

Hirsch added: “I view this law as a tool for dealing with terrorism. The coordinator for hostages and missing persons should be allowed to submit a classified report to the judge before sentencing a terrorist to death.”

Mamzarani just made ONE wise move: nixing the Jew Lander's job hopes

 

Here’s one Zohran Mamdani move we can cheer: The mayor-elect has apparently kicked Brad Lander to the curb.

Some will see this as ingratitude: After rushing to ally with Mamdani in the Democratic primary, the about-to-be-ex-city comptroller zealously thumped for him these last few months — essentially serving as Team Zohran’s “house Jew,” pulling out all the stops to paint the antisemitic socialist as kosher.

Lander had been notoriously angling for some top administration post, but per CNN he’s “out of the picture,” perhaps because (by some accounts) he’d been bragging about running City Hall if Mamdani won.

That certainly sounds like Lander, who’s a lot better-known for his arrogance and ambition than for anything resembling a principle.

So, while no one will mistake us for Mamdani fans, we’re glad to see the mayor-elect showing some good sense here.

It’d be another matter if Lander got pushed out because the far-lefties feared he might moderate Mamdani, but Lander never met a radical cause he couldn’t embrace.

He’s made a fool of himself with his theatrics — including getting himself arrested — in protest of Team Trump’s totally legal ICE raids.

Most despicably, for all his claims to be a “proud Jew” who supports Israel, he couldn’t even bring himself to unequivocally condemn the Democratic Socialists of America’s anti-Israel, pro-Hamas rally the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.

The rally was “abominable,” he admitted, but he also reiterated his call for “an end to the [Israeli] Occupation.” (Note: No Israeli had been in Gaza since 2005.)

CNN also reports that Mamdani thought Lander wasn’t “particularly effective as comptroller.”

We’d totally agree, albeit likely for opposite reasons.

Whatever the case, Mamdani’s made one smart move.

Too bad that Lander is likely the last lefty he’ll reject.

Top NYC rabbi issues chilling dire warning on Mamdani: ‘Does not believe in coexistence’

 


A top New York City rabbi has issued a chilling now-viral warning after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win: The pol’s positions on Israel may “severely threaten Jewish safety everywhere in the city.”

Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch delivered his blistering take on the radical extremist in a fiery sermon at his liberal Stephen Wise Free Synagogue on the Upper West Side on Friday.

Hirsch claimed Mamdani’s “opposition to Israel is existential."

“He believes that Israel has no right to exist at all — as a Jewish state in any territory,’’ the Manhattan rabbi said.

Hirsch, president of the New York Board of Rabbis, explained that he and other “prominent and liberal” rabbis went with “open hearts and open minds” to a one-hour meeting with the then-candidate in August.

He said they left horrified by his dangerous positions on Israel.

Throughout the meeting, the rabbis’ moods “steadily darkened,” Hirsch said.

“And our fears increased.”

Mamdani, who founded a controversial Students for Justice in Palestine chapter while in college, is a “dogmatic opponent” to the Zionist ideal, Hirsch said. 

“He is not simply a critic of Israel,” said the rabbi, who moved to Israel as a teen and served in the Israel Defense Force.

“He does not believe in coexistence” or “two states for two peoples.”

Despite relentless accusations of antisemitism, Mamdani, a 34-year-old Muslim immigrant and supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, captured one-third of Jewish voters in the city to win the mayor’s race last week, according to exit polls.

The mayor-elect has repeatedly refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the intifada,” widely seen as a call to violence, and espouses extremist positions indistinguishable from Israel’s “most implacable foes,” according to the rabbi.

Hirsch compared the dangerous ideology to that of terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah and their supporter, Iran.

During the religious leaders’ meeting with Mamdani in August, security was the focus as the group expressed the “fears of New York Jews” if he were elected. 

The rabbi warned that a phalanx of security alone can’t protect the Jewish community — only a safe environment can. 

“You could put 50 police officers outside this building,’’ Hirsch told his congregants. “If the overall atmosphere is hostile to Jews, it will severely threaten Jewish safety everywhere in the city every day.

“And history has proven conclusively that what starts with Jews never ends with Jews. The city itself will become much nastier and much more violent,” he warned.

“And that is the main threat from the ideologically driven anti-Zionism of Zohran Mamdani.”

Congregant Ronen Schwartzman told The Post on Sunday that he’s “proud” of his rabbi for “being vocal when you need it.

He’s very pro-Israel and not afraid to speak up — a big contrast to the Reform movement, who don’t always support” the Jewish state,’’ the man said.

Some city Jewish activists championed the “progressive” rabbi’s speech, too.

“He is unafraid to speak the truth,” said Israel activist Lizzy Savetsky on social media. “We need more Jewish leaders like this.”

Stefanik rips Hochul for endorsing the Satmar Endorsed ‘raging antisemite’ Mamzarani while accepting award from pro-Israel organization

 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Elise Stefanik ripped into Gov. Kathy Hochul Sunday night for endorsing “raging antisemite” Zohran Mamdani for mayor as she accepted an award from a prominent Jewish group.

“We know we are at a tipping point when the most important city in the world elects a raging antisemite, defund the police, tax-hiking Communist as mayor,” Stefanik said during the annual gala of the Zionist Organization of America.

She alleged that Mamdani vowed to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said his “family history and political ideology is steeped in sympathy for suicide bombers and terrorists.”

“A mayor who said Hamas should not lay down their arms. A mayor who campaigned with the unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing that killed New Yorkers. This, from the person who will lead a city with over 1 million Jewish people. And this mayor was endorsed by none other than the weakest and Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul,” Stefanik raged.

Rep. Stefanik, the House Republican Leadership chairwoman, received high praise at the event in the Ziegfeld ballroom from billionaire Miriam Adelson, whose late husband, Sheldon, founded the Las Vegas Sands casino and resort company.

She vowed not to stand silent while the mayor-elect and members of the Democratic Socialists of America “spew hatred” toward Jews.

“At the very moment that New Yorkers were looking for strength and moral clarity, our weak Governor Kathy Hochul, the Worst Governor in America, showed weakness and endorsed the jihadist for Mayor. She propelled him to this office, putting every Jewish New Yorker at risk,” Stefanik said.
