Dramatic economic sanctions: A-G cancels tax benefits for donations to yeshivas

 

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara delivered a major economic blow to the yeshiva world today (Wednesday), ruling that Torah institutions attended by draft-eligible students who fail to report for military service will no longer qualify for tax benefits for donors.

According to her decision, yeshivas in which draft-age students evade enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces will no longer be able to grant donors income tax credits under Section 46 of Israeli law.

The Charedi response was swift, led by Degel HaTorah chairman MK Moshe Gafni, who launched a harsh attack against the attorney general.

“This is an open declaration of war against the Torah world and Judaism in the State of Israel," Gafni declared. “This is no longer a legal question - it is a systematic and obsessive ideological persecution against the haredi community and against everything that represents the Jewish identity of the state."

He added that, in his view, the attorney general is abusing her authority and “using her powers to harm Torah scholars and their institutions in an unacceptable manner."

Gafni continued: “I call on the public not to surrender to improper dictates and not to accept a reality in which a legal official runs the country and decides against its most basic values."

Toward the end of his remarks, Gafni directly blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for allowing Baharav-Miara to remain in office.

“It is inconceivable that such a severe move should pass in silence," he said. “I do not understand how Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to keep her in her position. This is a grave failure, and I call on him to put an immediate end to this situation. It is unacceptable for the State of Israel to be led by someone who consistently acts against Judaism and against its Torah-observant citizens."

United Torah Judaism chairman MK Yitzhak Goldknopf also condemned the decision.

“It appears that the attorney general has lost all restraint and boundaries in her war against Torah scholars in the Holy Land," Goldknopf said. “The request submitted to the court is a serious attempt to carry out a maneuver against the Torah world and harm the ability of donors to assist Torah students, instead of the state funding the yeshivas as it was supposed to do."

He argued that Section 46 was intended to encourage donations to public institutions, “not to serve as a punitive tool or become an enforcement mechanism for the draft law."

“Revoking the benefit is collective punishment - disproportionate and immoral," he added.

Goldknopf concluded by comparing the situation to organizations that encouraged military refusal during protests.

Hatzala in London Treats the Stabber of Jews

 

Watch Chardeim "Learning" while Blocking a Bus Filled with Women and toddlers for hours!

 זו תורה וזו שכרה

Many of those sitting on the buses and in the cars, are pregnant women, mothers with children trying to get home in time for their other children, many elderly people that need the bathroom, but they the protestors don't care they are stopping traffic Leshem Shamyim, and learning , look at the big jlub, a grown man leaning against the bus "arein-getun" in a sigyeh! 

They tied up Yerushlayim, Bnei-Brak and Beit Shemesh! 

All benefits have to be taken away from them! 

Not one peep, from the "gedoilim" 




 

Harav Avishai David of Beit Shemesh "The Establishment of the Jewish State is the Most Magnificent Event in Jewish History !!

 

Harav David Shlitah is a very well-respected Rav and Posik in Beit Shemesh. Finally a prominent Rav in a major Jewish Charedie City, not afraid to tell the truth!

 I see a slow change in the Chardeie culture finally speaking out and refuting the lies and propaganda of Yeshivishe R"Y! 

Listen to his lecture:

The Complexity of   יום הזיכרון and יום העצמות

Charedie Rabbis Quiet as their Students disrupt Israeli lives


 Police report an illegal protest is blocking Route 4 near Bnei Brak, with clashes between demonstrators and officers. 

The highway is closed from Aluf Sadeh to Em  HaMoshavot in both directions, with traffic diverted to alternate routes.

Similar protests blocked traffic in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh where people were stuck in buses and cars for hours! 

Qatar behind ICC Arrest Warrant for Netanyahu .... Wall Street Journal

 


Testimony cited in a Wall Street Journal editorial raises suspicions that Qatar allegedly promised to “take care of” International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan if he advanced an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the report, the claims are based on an affidavit submitted to the FBI, supported by audio recordings. The affidavit was provided by a person familiar with a private intelligence operation linked to the case, who requested anonymity. It has been shared with several members of the U.S. Congress.

The Smash House Story

 

The story has been spreading across WhatsApp groups and frum news sites for the past several days. The details vary depending on which version one encountered. A family in the Lakewood area was without parents at home one evening. Dinner was ordered through Uber Eats. The intended restaurant was Smash House Burgers — a kosher establishment with locations in several cities, well known to many. The actual restaurant the order went to was Smashburger, the national chain that serves bacon, cheeseburgers, and milkshakes.

In one version, the family caught the mistake when the packaging looked unfamiliar and the food was not eaten. 

In another, three children sat down and ate before anyone realized what had happened. The differences matters, and should not be glossed over, but for what needs to be said now, the discrepancy is almost beside the point. Because in either version of the story, the same critical safeguard was missing.

There was no kosher seal – or rather: there was no checking for one.

Other conversations abound:   

“Kosher restaurant shouldn’t use a confusing name!”  

“Why do we need to follow goyisha names for restaurants?”

“Uber Eats should label kosher establishments more clearly!”

“Hashgachos shouldn’t permit menu items that resemble cheeseburgers!”

 And more.

But maybe, in this modern era, we should retool our Chinuch.  Maybe we should create a curriculum that addresses the underlying issue – something that Chazal had addressed long, long ago – The concept of Chosamos.

Zelensky the Ukrainian Threatens Israel over grain shipment from Russia that he claims are "stolen"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday issued a sharp criticism of Israel over what he described as the arrival of a vessel carrying “stolen" Ukrainian grain to an Israeli port.

“In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia," Zelenskyy said in a statement. “Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not - and cannot be - legitimate business."

Zelenskyy added that Israeli authorities “cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying."

According to the Ukrainian president, Russia has been “systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers," describing such actions as violations of Israeli law.

“Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped," he stated.

Police Arrest Chareidie Hoodlooms that attacked Charedi soldier and his friends in Beit Shemesh

 


The police announced today (Tuesday) the arrest of three suspects, residents of Beit Shemesh aged 32 and 41, on suspicion of involvement in the severe assault of a Charedi soldier and his friends during last Shabbat.

The arrests were carried out following an intensive investigation that began immediately after the end of Shabbat.

The incident began on Friday night, when a group of dozens of youths affiliated with an extremist sect in the city arrived at the home of a Charedi soldier. According to the complaint filed by the soldier, the extremists began to threaten him and his family, while shouting, "we will burn down your house."

A violent confrontation developed on the scene between the extremists and a group of worshippers from a nearby synagogue who came to defend the soldier. During the disturbance, the soldier and his friends were attacked. One of the soldier's friends sustained significant facial injuries.

The three detainees are currently under investigation at the Beit Shemesh station, and the police will seek today from the Magistrate's Court to extend their detention.
