Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu warns: 'Stay away from the Yanuka'

 

Speaking on Avi Shushan's podcast, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu criticized rabbi and kabbalist Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Be'eri, better known as the "Yanuka," addressing the phenomenon of large numbers of people flocking to him. He called for the Yanuka to be compared to other righteous figures he had known and said that when people ask him about the Yanuka, he tells them to "stay away from him."

Rabbi Eliyahu said that there are "fake rabbis," and pointed to the Baba Sali as an example by which he evaluates rabbinic figures. "I tell people, is the Yanuka like the Baba Sali or not? If he is, then he is a righteous person," he said.

Rabbi Eliyahu went on to discuss the Baba Sali's lifestyle, recalling that he had seen him living in a simple home in Netivot. He said that the Baba Sali could have lived "in the most luxurious place" given the donations he received, but "did not want to."

He also addressed the publicity, public relations and the entourages surrounding rabbinic figures. According to Rabbi Eliyahu, a rabbi's work requires dedication, giving and effort. Among other things, he said, "People don't know that giving a blessing is difficult. A person has to bless with his heart."

"He is not like your grandfather [the Baba Haki]. In my eyes, he is not a [rabbinic] figure. He is not like my father, not like Rabbi Tzedaka, not like any of the righteous people I knew, who were truly miracle workers," he said.

Rabbi Eliyahu was then asked how he explains the large numbers of people flocking to the Yanuka.

"I don't feel comfortable talking about other people," he replied. He then added that when people ask him about the matter, his answer is: "Stay away from him. Stay away."

Watch "Mevakshei Hashem" Rebbe as a Teen playing his electric guitar

 

England's Chutzpah telling Jews where to live!

 

Britain will not stand back and accept the destruction of the two-state solution," the British Foreign Secretary declared this week, after summoning Israel's Chargé d'Affaires like a headmaster calling in a boy caught smoking behind the bicycle shed.

The offense? 

A tender for apartments in E1, between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim, in the Jewish homeland, approved in 2025, processed for months, and now suddenly the gravest threat to world peace since the fall of Singapore.

Fine. Don't stand back. Sit down. Lie down. Have a smoke behind the bicycle shed. Do whatever it is you do these days instead of governing His Majesty’s Global Colonial Empire. Just spare us the sermon.

Because here is what has changed, and what London has not yet noticed: 

The US Join European Countries to Prohibit Jews from Buliding in its very own country in Judea and Samaria

 

The United States does not support Israeli annexation of the Judea and Samaria region, a State Department spokesperson told Axios on Friday in response to Israel's decision to advance construction plans in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim.

"As the President has clearly stated, the US does not support Israel annexing the West Bank. A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with this Administration’s goal to achieve peace in the region," the spokesperson told Axios.

Israel issued a tender on Tuesday for seven residential compounds in E1, comprising 1,234 housing units. The projects are part of approximately 3,400 housing units approved for the area last August.

The announcement has drawn criticism from several European governments. Britain's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband called for the tender to be withdrawn on Wednesday.

“This Israeli Government’s publication of a tender for the E1 settlement project is an unacceptable and destructive act. E1 would cut across the heart of Palestine and risks separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem, which would endanger the viability of a two-state solution," Miliband said in a statement condemning the move.

"The UK has been clear privately and publicly in our opposition to E1 and our support for a two-state solution as the only way to ensure long-term security and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. All settlements damage that prospect and are a flagrant breach of international law," he claimed.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar rejected London's position on Thursday, accusing Miliband of adopting a patronizing tone.

"I reject outright the statement of the UK Foreign Secretary and the patronizing tone of his words," Sa'ar wrote on social media.

"The Jewish people have the right to live throughout the Land of Israel, just as the British have the right to live in London and throughout the United Kingdom. More than a century ago, the Balfour Declaration formally recognized the historic right of the Jewish people to re-establish their national home in the Land of Israel - including in the area in question."

Britain later joined France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada and Norway in condemning the E1 tender. The seven countries described the plans as "unacceptable" and called on Israel to withdraw them immediately.

"The E1 settlement will undermine the prospect of the two-state solution by driving a wedge through the West Bank and harming the territorial contiguity of the Palestinian Territories," the statement said.

"We urge the Government of Israel to retract these plans immediately and end its expansion of settlements," the statement said.

Allison Rahmani, a 40-year-old mother of four and teacher at the Hebrew Academy of Five Towns and Rockaway, died Friday morning after the SUV she was driving crashed into an in-ground swimming pool, authorities said.

Rahmani was driving a 2023 GMC in the driveway of a home on Elinor Road shortly before 9:30 a.m. when she lost control of the vehicle, according to the Nassau County Police Department.

The SUV struck a tree and an unoccupied 2006 Honda before plunging into the in-ground pool, police said.

Rahmani was removed from the vehicle before officers arrived. Police performed lifesaving measures before she was transported for medical treatment.

A source familiar with the family told JNS that Rahmani did not drown. The source said she was able to call for help after the crash but died in an ambulance while being transported to the hospital.

Police said Rahmani was ultimately pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Police initially did not identify the woman or say whether she lived at the residence where the crash occurred. She was later identified as Rahmani, a Hewlett Bay Park resident.

The fatal vehicular accident remains under investigation. Police have not disclosed what caused Rahmani to lose control of the SUV.

Mass psychosis !!!! How Lindsay Clancy become a more compelling victim than her three children who she brutally killed?

 

Outside Plymouth Superior Court in Massachusetts this week, Americans are witnessing something resembling a mass psychosis event.

Hundreds of women have assembled to support Lindsay Clancy, the mother on trial for murdering her three young children.

Clancy does not deny killing 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan with her own hands.

Her defense argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible.

The women outside the courthouse, holding babies while cheering for Clancy, have no such excuse.

Unless, that is, we want to talk about what social media has done to women’s ability to process tragedy, assign responsibility and distinguish between victim and perpetrator.

Imagine the conversation at home as Mom puts on pink and heads off to spend the day with hundreds of other women cheering as members of Clancy’s defense team drive past.

“Mom, who’s the woman you’re making heart hands at?”

“A woman who strangled her three children!”

For the families of these women, alarm bells should be ringing.

A very sad end to the search Katriel Nachman Keinan found with no sign of life in Teveria

 

A very sad end to the search

With a broken, aching heart, torn by tears, we announce with deep sorrow the passing of *the yeshiva student Katriel Nachman Keinan, of blessed memory a resident of Beit Shemesh, who, after extensive searches with the help of all parties, was, to our sorrow, found today in the Switzerland Forest near Gai Beach in Tiberias, with no sign of life, and he was 24 years old.

Nachman was a chassidic young man, humble, a man of truth, connected to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, King Moshiach, warm and helpful to every person, whoever they are.

Nachman went missing a week and a  half ago - since last Monday in the Tiberias area, and we, his close family and friends, together with Anash, Chabad chassidim, and the emergency and security forces, did everything in our and their power to search for him in every possible place until the bitter and painful end.

Thank you to everyone who helped and assisted, we appreciate it very much.
