Note: The Imrei Emes's anti Zionist position was only pre-WW2 and during the Holocaust when he hadn't found out yet how enormous the tragedy actually was. The Imrei Emes totally turned after the holocaust and after the State was actually established!
In 1943, Gur Hasidim beat Ben-Gurion’s brother — Moshe Nachmani — to death.
This is one of the most serious incidents in the history of relations between the Haredim and the Zionists in the State of Israel. Three Gur Hasidim severely beat Ben-Gurion’s brother, Rabbi Avraham Green. Shortly afterward, he died from his injuries.
Within a short time, the affair was swept under the rug and completely forgotten. Ben-Gurion did not make an issue of it, nor did the religious Zionists, and of course not the Gur Hasidim.
It is a painful story that teaches us how far violence can go, and how a heated argument can deteriorate into bloodshed. Above all, it teaches us that anyone who dares to criticize a revered Rebbe, admired by thousands of Hasidim, may end up in the grave.
President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “knows who the boss is” ahead of their planned tete-a-tete in Washington, DC.
Trump told Axios Saturday that Netanyahu could visit as early as next week and said that the relationship between the two leaders is still strong.
“We get along very good,” the president noted.
U.S. President Trump points at Israeli PM Netanyahu as they shake hands.
Trump said Netanyahu “knows who the boss is.”
The pow wow could happen after Trump returns from the NATO summit in Turkey, which takes place July 7-8. Israeli officials, however, believe the two leaders won’t sit down face to face until the following week.
The pair spoke on the phone Friday and agreed to meet in “the near future,” according to a statement from the Israeli prime minister’s office.
“The Prime Minister said in the conversation that the US is a guarantor of global freedom, and Israel highly appreciates the close bond between the two nations,” the statement added.
Iranian security bars ‘probably gay’ disfigured supreme leader from his father’s funeral — fearing Israel would strike again
Trump says Iran gets ‘week off’ for lengthy funeral for former supreme leader: ‘Isn’t that nice?’
This will be Netanyahu’s first meeting with Trump since he pressed for war with Iran in a Situation Room meeting in February.
Though Trump maintains that he and Netanyahu have “a very good relationship,” tensions have risen between the two in recent months over the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran and Israel’s conduct in its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Trump called Netanyahu “f–king crazy” over his attacks in Lebanon on June 1.
”You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” Trump confirmed to The Post he grilled the Israeli PM over airstrikes in Beirut.
Israel and Lebanon signed a tripartite agreement with the US on June 26 which called for a phased Israeli withdrawal for Southern Lebanon with the Lebanese Armed Forces assuming control of areas currently occupied by the Israel Defense Forces, as well as a demilitarization of Hezbollah.
Vice President JD Vance also slammed members of Netanyahu’s coalition for criticizing the emerging Iran deal in a June 18 press conference.
“Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower,” he said.
“The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”
In today’s climate of deep division and rising emotional intensity within the Jewish community, disagreements have not only sharpened-they have become corrosive. Lines are crossed in speech that would once have been unthinkable. When people are shocked or outraged by the actions of those on the other side of an ideological divide, language becomes a weapon.
Among the most severe expressions in the Hebrew language is the curse Yimach Shemo V’Zichro-“May his name and memory be blotted out."
For generations, these words were reserved for the enemies of Klal Yisrael-the Amaleks of history, the destroyers of our people. Today, tragically, they are sometimes directed at fellow Jews: political opponents, ideological rivals, or Jews who have strayed from Torah.
This is not a minor slip of language. It is a collapse of boundaries that the Torah itself draws with absolute clarity.
The Torah, Halakha, Chazal, and the conduct of our Gedolim all point in one direction with unmistakable force: no matter how sharp the disagreement, no matter how far another Jew may have fallen, this language does not belong anywhere near a fellow Jew.
The Torah draws a clear line: “You shall not curse the deaf" (Vayikra 19:14). Chazal explain in Sanhedrin 66a that the Torah is not speaking narrowly about a deaf person. It is setting the lowest possible threshold: even someone who will never hear the insult is protected. If that is true there, then all the more so when speaking about someone who hears, feels, and is wounded by every word.
The people in these caskets survived the Holocaust—only to be murdered by an antisemitic mob just over a year later.

Regarding Bodek and B'gan Frozen Strawberries
It has been noted that both Bodek and B'gan—two separate companies—market frozen strawberries produced in Peru. Under existing arrangements, the primary certifying authorities including Rabbi Shmuel Teitelbaum, Minchas Chinuch Hashgocha and the OU rely entirely on the insect-free certification of Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum (the Nirbater Rav), who oversees the initial production for B’Gan etc. in Peru. Consequently, no independent, secondary reinspection of these products is conducted before they are marketed.
Recently, independent kashrus individuals not affiliated with Bodek or B’gan have reportedly discovered insect infestations in these imported frozen strawberries from Peru. These findings have called into serious question the reliability of the current certifications, particularly because the specific authorities being relied upon are widely known not to be specialized experts in insect infestation or entomological kashrus inspection protocols. This raises severe concerns within the community regarding whether the oversight is sufficient to guarantee that the strawberries are entirely insect-free.
The Halachic Context
From a halachic standpoint, strawberries are widely recognized as much’zak be’tolaim (substantiated and presumed to be infested). Due to the nature of their textured surface, many halachic authorities maintain that it is virtually impossible to ensure they are insect-free through standard commercial washing alone.
As a result, a growing consensus of halachic experts advises that consumers should not rely on pre-washed frozen strawberries—even those bearing multiple prominent certifications. Instead, strawberries should only be used if they are completely peeled, as this is the only definitive way to ensure they are free of insects.
Current Actions and Lack of Public Alerts
Reports indicate that the certifying Rabbonim have quietly directed companies to remove affected stocks from retail store shelves. However, no public alerts have been issued to warn families who may already have these products stored in their home freezers, or who may have already used them in prepared foods.
News of the win has spread quickly through Monsey, with friends and neighbors extending warm congratulations to the Fried family on their extraordinary and life-changing blessing.
