How The Eidah Hachreidis Tried to Feed Chareidim Treif: The Brakel Chicken

What? What kind of headline is this? 
Eida Hachreidis? Feeding Jews .... trief????
Absolutely!!!

Brakel Chicken

The Eida Hachreidis in Yerushalyim and the Hisachdis Ha'Ganovim in Williamsburg managed in one decade to entirely change the entire perspective of kashrus in the entire Heimishe Jewish world with their false propaganda. 

They managed  to convince the Chareidie communities that only "Heimishe" Hashgachos are reliable and that the OU in the USA and the Rabbanut in Israel are "chazer trief."

It's true that the Rabbanut needs a lot of work, but after reading this post, you will find that the Rabbanut is far more reliable than the Eidah..... in fact all kashrus scandals emanating from the US and most from Israel are only from so called "heimishe" hashgachos.

The big "chicken" scandal in Monsey was from a very "reliable" hashgacha!

Background:

I was waiting to post about the Brakel Chicken, until I got the total picture from all sides of this controversy. 

So here goes...

The Eidah Hachreidis is a money grubbing machine that needs millions of shekels to oil their greasy wheels.... and so they came up with a great plan .......

They (the Eidah Hachreidis mafia) convinced Rav Shmuel Wosner z"l, and Rav Nissim Karalitz, that there is reason to be concerned that commercially-farmed chicken might not have a "Mesorah" of kashrus!

And so the Eida Mafia got them to rule, not that the chicken that we ate for years is trief ....... no ....that would put the entire Orthodox community into a head-spin that they could never possibly recover, but that there is "CONCERN" that our chicken may not have a "Mesorah!"

They couldn't actually come up with a "treif" psak because nobody would ever believe any Gadols' psak ever again .... since our chicken have "heimishe" hashgachois" ..how could it be "trief?"!!!

The reason the Rabbis gave for the "concern," was due to the "prevalence of hybridization in the chicken industry. 

Nobody knows what that means!

So now that they planted a doubt in the minds of gullible Rabbis, the crooks, the financial directors of the Eidah  established the "taharas ha'ofos (bird purity) committee... " to publicize that our chickens have no "Mesorah" and recruited the chasidishe Baal tzedakah, R' Berel Weiss to fund this new initiative. 

But before this new committee could declare our chicken trief, they had to conduct a search for a "pure unadulterated chicken." Meanwhile, they reasoned, let the Oilim Golim eat "treif."

It wasn't long before they found a chicken that had never been subject to any "hybridization." 

I think that Mr. Perdue z"l is rolling in his grave, because he claimed on the tumidike TV that his chickens were pure and not "a hybrid."

THE BRAKEL.....

Let's stop here for a moment to contemplate what happened until I go further....

If our chicken isn't in our "Mesorah" ..... why wasn't it so declared publicly? What does the "psak" ... "concern" exactly mean? Is it kosher or not? 

Lets Go back to The Brakel ..... The Brakel is a chicken that Belgium farmers use for the eggs only, they throw the meat away .... why? because The Brakel tastes like a cross between horse manure and human vomit!

But the Eidah saw $$$$$$$$$$ signs and could care less how it tastes ....they were going to come out with a "psak" that our chicken is not our Mesorah and the foul tasting Brakel is our Mesorah, even though no body ever heard of it ....

They got Chassiddishe investors to pour untold millions of dollars into this new "lucrative" business, and started the process to farm these crappy tasting chickens.....

To back their new money making enterprise they went to the Bnei Brak Beis Din, headed by Rav Moshe Shaul Klein and presented their case ..... Rav Klein managed to scrape together some antique old senile Shochtim from nursing homes, and they managed to babble  that they had in fact slaughtered these birds before...

There was one big huge problem ..........their very own Rabbi, the Raavad of the Eidah Hachareidis, Rav Moshe Sternbuch, took one look at the bird, the Brakel, and said that "its trief," and added, he doubts that the Brakel is a chicken at all. 
Rav Sternbuch went further and said that any shochet who slaughters a Brakel should be disqualified from shechting ever again.

They panicked, short of killing  Rav Sternbuch, what do they do? ....Millions of dollars were invested, with assurances to the wealthy Chassidim that they would get this vomit tasting chicken approved as the only "Mesorah" chicken.

And to add to their chagrin, the Rabbi of the Bnei Brak Beis Din, Rav Moshe Shaul Klein's rebbe is the Vizhniter Rebbe who outlawed the Brakel!

One Rav of Bnei Brak took the initiative to get to the bottom of this controversy..... Rav Moshe Yehuda Leib Landa, went to the Brakel farm in Beit Shemesh and surprised the farmers but they  wouldn't let him in to inspect the farm .... they finally gave in .... and after a significant amount of time, Rav Landa came out with an unequivocal decision: 

The Brakel is trief; it has no connection with any birds that Jews have ever eaten in the past.

Then came the "Makkah Be'Patish" so to speak, a talmud of Rav Wosner z"l, (the posek who put a doubt on the Mesorah of our chickens,) Rav Avraham Rubin instructed all the slaughterhouses and shochtim under his hashgacha (Badatz Mehadrin) that if a Brakel was ever shechted, even if only accidentally, the entire facility and all utensils would need to be kashered.

And so the Eidah Hachreidis ran around like poisoned rats to shop for a prominent Rav that would put a kashrus stamp on this foul tasting Brakel, having had so much money invested in this fiasco.
They found a Rav in New York, R' Zalmon Leib Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, who is associated with the Hisachdas Ha' Ganovim, and he came out with the following statement ... that was signed by his Dayan Rav Moshe Shaul Klein and Rav Moshe Zev Zarger..

"We maintain our earlier opinion that the Brakel that was brought to us and examined is even more tahor than other birds, and may be eaten and enjoyed l'mhadrin min hamehadrin" 

Rav Zarger added "When I saw the chickens called Brakel, I immediately recognized them as the birds I saw as a Child.""""

I don't know about you guys but I had a very hard time to get my little children to eat our chickens ..... I wish Rav Klein and Rav Zarger good luck trying to feed a chicken that tastes like road kill to  their grand children.

Meanwhile, after the R' Zalman Leib's ruling that chicken that tastes like vomit is kosher "l'mhadrin min hamehadrin"

his brother, R' Aaron Teitelbaum, Samar Rebbe Monroe, came out with a two-page ruling that the Brakel is "Chazir Treif....

Now the ruling of R' Aron is very important, since he has the largest Chareidi slaughterhouse for chickens in the New York area which is situated in Kiryas Yoel, where about 60,000 chickens are slaughtered every day. 

And so last week, our friend R' Berel Weiss, who funded this disastrous Eidah Hachreidi shenanigan to feed Treif Birds to Chareidim, informed the Eidah that he has decided to close the Brakel poultry farms despite the fact that he would suffer a great financial loss.

Pass the buffalo wings .....

The Faces of 3 Teenagers that Murdered a Jew

Left to right: Jace Swinton, 18, Summer Church, 16, and Roberto Ortiz, 18, were arrested Friday for the July murder of Aaron Rajman in Boca Raton, Fla.

A 16 year old high school student is one of three teenagers who were taken into custody and charged in the death of an Orthodox Jewish mixed martial arts fighter.

The Palm Beach Post (http://pbpo.st/2vBCj9K)reported that Summer Church was being driven to school by her mother on Friday morning when she was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s Office in the July 3rd death of Aaron Rajman.

the 25 year old was shot in his West Boca Raton home after an argument with several unidentified men.

Also arrested on Friday were 18 year old Jace Swinton of Margate and 18 year old Roberto Ortiz of Boynton Beach who had been previously arrested in January for allegedly pointing a gun at a 16 year old, kicking a second person and firing a gun at a third individual.  

Church, Swinton and Ortiz were charged with two counts each of home invasion with a firearm or other deadly weapon. 

According to Church’s mother Judith, her daughter had been dating Swinton when she first met Rajman at a Boca Raton convenience store in January. Swinton and Rajman also became acquainted, with Swinton visiting Rajman at his home. 

Judith Church said that on the day of Rajman’s death, her daughter was in Ortiz’s car with a female friend and was forced at gunpoint by Oritz and three other men to call Rajman and see if he was at home.  After the phone call to Rajman was placed, the two girls were reportedly let out of the car before the remaining occupants traveled to Rajman’s home, according to Church.

Initial reports from the Palm Beach County Sherriff’s office said only that several men were present in Rajman’s home at the time of his death, according to the Palm Beach Post (http://pbpo.st/2vBTVT1).

Summer Church, an eleventh grader at Olympic Heights High School, is being charged as an adult in Rajman’s murder.  Church’s mother said that she is mystified that her daughter, who spoke with detectives for 12 hours over a period of three days, is being held accountable for Rajman’s death.

“She wasn’t there,” said Judith Church. “To charge her with first degree murder doesn’t make sense.”

A statement released by Dave Aronberg, a state attorney for Palm Beach County, said that Rajman had been deliberately targeted by all three defendants.  

Emily Imber, who had been in a five year relationship with Rajman, said that she was happy to see charges being brought in the case.

“I am grateful they were caught,” said Imber. “I hope they get all of them.”

Rajman, who wore his yarmulka into the ring before a fight, had made a name for himself in the MMA world by upholding his religious principles, refusing to fight on Saturdays, a prime day in the fighting world and earning the respect of promoters who reportedly went out of their way to accommodate him.  

According to a GoFundMe campaign setup in his memory, Rajman had hoped to launch an initiative this fall in conjunction with local law enforcement and security professionals that would give teens a dose of Jewish pride and self confidence. 

The StreetSmart Program, which is being unveiled in Rajman’s memory, will teach teens in schools, community centers and synagogues how to defend themselves in real life situations using a combination of self defense skills, common sense and situational awareness.

Chaim Miller Z’L, Struck & Killed By Car

Chaim Miller Z”L of Flatbush was only  28-years-old when he was killed by a car on Friday.

Chaim was riding his bike on Friday afternoon, when he was struck by a vehicle on Ocean Parkway and Quentin Road. Hatzolah and FDNY-EMS treated him on the scene, and he was rushed to the closest hospital. Unfortunately, there was nothing doctors could do to save his life. He was Niftar just minutes before Shabbos started.

the vehicle remained on the scene, and there were no arrests made. The incident is being investigated by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.

Chaim was a Talmid at Yeshiva Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway, and spent much of his time taking care of a special-needs Talmid of Darchei Torah. He was very close to his Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Yaakov Bender.

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Gitel Miller [of Walsh Court in Flatbush] – his father was R”L Niftar when he was a young child, and four siblings (brothers in Baltimore and Lakewood, and two sisters in Flatbush).

The Levaya will be held on Sunday at Shomrei Hadas Chapels in Boro park – at 2:00PM.

Michael Simanowitz Frum Queens Assemblyman Dies on Shabbos

NYS Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz of Queens. He was approximately 45-years-old and had been battling an illness for a few years.

He was an Assemblyman since 2011.

Michael grew up in the Forest Hills section of Queens, and as a child, studied at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe.

MEET THE ‘VOGUE’ WRITER WHO CRITICIZED FLOTUS’S SHOES

A bone-chilling digital howl rippled across the Internet as the powder-faced Gargantua calling itself Lynn Yaeger lurched over to the keyboard to unleash hellfire on the First Lady. 

“Oh, Melania,” Lynn Yaeger curdled. “In the words of the late, great Lou Reed, you ‘couldn’t hit it sideways,'” after accusing the White House of failing to “understand optics.”

The brute in a red wig-like cap, black lipstick, and frayed, tattered rags seized on footage of the graceful First Lady as she boarded Air Force One for a visit to flood-ravaged Texas.

“This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille,” Lynn Yaeger–who hails from a beneath-the-floorboards, cannibalistic tribe of journalists known as Contributing Fashion Editors at Vogue– howled.

In her article Lynn Yaeger remained untethered when told by a spokesperson that Lady Melania had a change of shoes awaiting her on the plane. When Mrs. Trump did de-plane in Texas she was photographed wearing sensible sneakers.

“But what kind of message does a fly-in visit from a First Lady in sky-high stilettos send to those suffering the enormous hardship, the devastation of this natural disaster?” the beast grumbled, leaving many to suspect had she not been turned down at the high school prom by the hideous fish-God Dagon her career might have turned out different.

According to Internet lore, the immortal spent 20 years writing for the now-collapsing weekly The Village Voice before joining Vogue. She is suspected to have the ability to cast spells over other cretins who stalk the pages of fashion magazines, as evidenced in a 2016 New York Times Style Section profile titled “Lynn Yaeger: Fashion Muse.”

“Sing, muse, of crinolines piled in layers, of blunt-cut bobs and Cupid’s bow lips?” the paper wrote to the tune of Pan’s flute.

“Inspirations come in many forms during the fashion collections. It has been a surprise, though not an unwelcome one, to find that this season, an unexpected one joins their ranks: the fabulously eccentric fashion writer Lynn Yaeger.”

Malka Lebowitz - Einhorn's Body Found

The body of Malka Lebo (Lebovitz - Einhorn) who jumped from the Bear Mountain Bridge in April was recovered in the Hudson River Wednesday night after the occupants of a cabin cruiser passing through the area spotted the body and notified police.

The woman is a 22-year-old resident of Rockland County. 

The Westchester County Police Marine Unit responded and recovered the body from the river, O'Leary said.

The remains were transported to Riverfront Green Park in Peekskill and turned over to the Westchester Medical Examiner’s Office, he added.

Her death has been ruled a suicide by the Medical Examiner’s Office, O'Leary said.

Searches underway for soldier missing in Golan

Searches are underway in the Golan Heights to find a IDF soldier who left his unit on Wednesday during military activity and has since disappeared.

The searches are focused on the Katzrin area in the central Golan Heights, where the missing soldier was last seen.

Ukrainian authorities prepare for record 40,000 Jews in Uman

Ukrainian authorities are preparing for a record pilgrimage by tens of thousands of Jews gathering in the city of Uman for Rosh Hashanah.

Authorities are expecting up to 40,000 Jewish pilgrims ahead of the Jewish New Year, which this year falls on Sept. 20, the Ukrainian Government Press office told the ZN news website Tuesday.

In previous years, local authorities estimated that the annual pilgrimage brought 25,000 to 30,000 visitors to Uman — followers of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, an 18th-century luminary whose gravesite is the focal point of the celebration. Rescue forces are carrying out exercises at the main congregation points of the visitors to be able to respond effectively to any emergency, the Unian news agency reported Tuesday.

Authorities in Ukraine have improved access to Uman in recent years, with plans underway for reopening a disused military airport near the city for direct flights. Uman is located in central Ukraine, 150 miles south of Kiev and 200 miles south of Odessa.

The synagogue is part of the Ohel complex built near the gravesite of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.

Having a beard reduces your risk of cancer

According to a recent study from the University of Queensland, facial fuzz can protect a man’s face from 90 to 95% of harmful UV rays from the sun.

This means that a large portion of a man’s face is protected from being sunburnt – which can help prevent skin cancer.

Dr Adam Freidmann told the Independent: “Sun exposure is the primary cause of photo-ageing and skin damage, so it makes sense that if your face is covered by a heavy beard, it may well protect your skin from the signs of ageing.

“This means fewer wrinkles and a reduction in age spots (liver spots) commonly found on the face.

“People with a thick head of hair do not tend to get skin cancer or photo ageing on the scalp until they lose their hair. So we can see that there is a UV protective effect.”

However, these findings are only applicable to men who have a full beard – patchy stubble doesn’t count.

14 Year Old Girl Under Chuppah with 20 Year Old Breslev Guy

Police on Tuesday night, the eve of 8 Elul, broke up a chasunah in which the kallah was only 14. The chosson is reportedly to be a man in his 20s, affiliated with the Breslov kehillah.

According to the Channel 2 News report, the father of the kallah was arrested, police arrived before the chupah took place. Police have alerted social services.

Obama Admin Hid Intel on Iranian Militants in Syria to Push Nuclear Deal

The "capo" Ezra chapping Shrayim 

There were Jews like Ezra "The Capo" Friedlander who openly backed the Obama administration's Iran Deal. 

Ezra who is now pushing for a Congressional Medal for Anwar Sadat, so that he can continue to shnoor for his failing Friedlander Group, previously wrote an Op-Ed in Theyeshivahworld blog, addressing holocaust survivors, asking them to vote for Jerry "fats" Nadler, even though he voted to hand nuclear weapons to the Iranian terrorists who have vowed to destroy the State of Israel!

It turns out that the Obama administration was hiding the real facts about Iran so he could muster enough votes to supply Iran with nuclear weapons!

The Obama administration hid information about Iran illicitly ferrying militants into Syria on commercial aircraft in order to promote the landmark nuclear deal and foster multi-billion dollar business deals with Tehran's state-controlled airline sector, according to lawmakers and other sources familiar with the matter.

The Washington Free Beacon first disclosed last week that congressional leaders are calling for an investigation into Iran for using its state-controlled air carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militant fighters into Syria, where they are taking up arms in defense of embattled President Bashar al-Assad.

Photographs provided to Congress show Iran using Iran Air to ferry these soldiers between 2016 and 2017, in part when the Obama administration removed sanctions on Iran Air and promoted multi-billion dollars sales between the carrier and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which is seeking to provide Iran Air with a fleet of new planes that many suspect will be used to carry terrorist fighters and weapons into regional hotspots.

This behavior violates international laws governing the nuclear deal and has now led lawmakers and others to accuse the Obama administration of downplaying Iran's illicit activity in order to promote the nuclear deal and ensure Tehran receives a new commercial fleet.

Multiple senior Obama administration officials, including former secretary of state John Kerry, traveled the globe to promote trade with Iranian companies, including Iran Air, at the same time Iran was found to be ferrying militants into Syria. Lawmakers and others suspect the Obama administration either hid or downplayed this information in order to preserve the nuclear deal.

"The Obama administration lifted sanctions against Iran Air as a political concession during nuclear negotiations with Iran, not because of any change in its activity," Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), one of the lawmakers calling for an investigation into Iran's use of commercial aircraft for military purposes, told the Free Beacon.

"Using social media and public flight tracking websites, any person with a computer can document Iranian military transports to Syria on commercial jets," Roskam said. "The Obama administration undoubtedly knew Iranian airliners were being used to fuel Assad's atrocities in Syria, but the administration officials who were globetrotting as Tehran's chamber of commerce trying to shore up the nuclear deal didn't care."

"Iran Air continues to support the Iran-Assad war machine to this day, and the Trump administration must hold the airline accountable and work to stop them," the lawmaker said.

Roskam and a delegation of other Republican congressmen petitioned the Trump Treasury Department last week to investigate photographic evidence showing Iran using Iran Air to ferry militants into Syria.

"Iran's use of commercial aircraft for military purposes violates international agreements as well as Iranian commitments under the JCPOA," or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the lawmakers wrote, according to a letter first obtained by the Free Beacon. "We believe these photos mandate a thorough investigation of these practices and a comprehensive review of Iran's illicit use of commercial aircraft."

The lawmakers demand the Trump administration freeze all licenses that would permit the deal between Boeing and Iran Air to move forward.

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), a vocal opponent of the Iran deal who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the Free Beacon that the Obama administration ignored evidence of Iran's illicit military activity in a bid to appease Tehran and forward the nuclear agreement.

"As the Obama administration was shipping palettes of cash to Iran, the mullahs were sending militants to wage jihad in Syria," DeSantis said. "The Obama administration turned a blind eye to this and other transgressions because it was so intent on delivering major sanctions relief to the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism, the Iranian government."

The Treasury Department did not respond to multiple Free Beacon requests for comment on the matter.

The Treasury Department has vowed in the past to consider and investigate any new evidence revealing Iran's illicit use of commercial aircraft, but it remains unclear if U.S. officials are actually following through on this promise.

Administration insiders have expressed confusion over the matter, saying they are unsure where Trump officials stand on scrapping the nuclear agreement.

Multiple proponents of ending the deal were recently removed from the White House's National Security Council and it appears that those officials supporting the deal currently are now the majority voice. This includes Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

Administration insiders say the Obama administration's aggressive efforts to promote trade with Iran and lay the groundwork for massive deals such as that formed with Boeing placed the current administration in a complicated position.

Boeing says the deal would create scores of U.S. jobs, but those opposing the deal say American workers should not be aiding Iran's illicit activity.

"The Obama administration actively politicized and downplayed intelligence about Iran to preserve the deal," said one veteran congressional adviser working on the issue. "They had State remove references to Iranian terrorism, had Justice ignore Iranian sanctions-busters and proliferated, and even had Energy buy off Iranian deal violations. So of course they had Treasury look the other way while the Iranians were facilitating Assad's mass slaughter."

Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon adviser and expert on rogue regimes, said champions of the Iran deal had knowledge of Iran's illicit behavior, but downplayed this information to push the nuclear agreement forward.

"The Boeing deal is where corruption meets national security. One of the biggest proponents of the Iran deal was Thomas Pickering, a former ambassador whom the Obama administration brought in to assuage Congress and re-up its talking points in the media," Rubin said. "Pickering never acknowledged, however—even to Congress—that at the time he had a lucrative consulting gig with Boeing in order to enable that company to profit off any Iran deal."

Iran is seeking to purchase from Boeing a fleet much larger than its domestic needs require, another sign that points to the regime's desire to use these commercial aircraft for military purposes, Rubin said.

"What the heck did the Obama team think Iran would do with its Boeings? If they tallied up Iran's annual air travel with the capacity offered by Boeing, they'd find that Iran was purchasing planes representing triple what Iran needed for its civilian transport," Rubin said. "Frankly, the Boeing deal should have resulted in as many red flags as if Iran said it wanted to purchase high explosives and rocket engines. But, national security and reality were far down Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry's lists of priorities."

Orthodox Rabbis rebuke Reform and Conservative Rabbis for attacks on Trump

The Coalition for Jewish Values, a public policy institute representing hundreds of Orthodox Rabbis, today rebuked Jewish clergy who publicly announced their refusal to participate in an annual conference call with the President preceding the Jewish High Holy Days. 

Rabbis from four non-Orthodox Jewish organizations said last Wednesday they would not hold the annual call with the president, claiming that his response to racist violence in Charlottesville was "lacking in moral leadership and empathy."

The CJV noted that the Union for Reform Judaism was recently identified as the most consistently liberal American religious group in a survey of the party registration of religious leaders -- and suggested that Reform and associated clergy were judging Presidents by a double standard.

Rabbi Aryeh Spero, a Senior Rabbinic Fellow of the CJV, dismissed the Rabbis' statement as "left-wing politics masquerading as rabbinics."

"For eight years," his colleague Rabbi Professor Dov Fischer explained, "these rabbis raced to participate in New Years' phone calls with a President who worked vigorously against Israel, snubbed and shamed its democratically elected leader, and who called Jewish homes in the Jewish homeland 'illegal.' They have not suddenly found their consciences. 

Is liberalism more important to them than Judaism?"

The CJV also challenged the claim of liberal Jewish leaders to represent Jewish rabbinic opinion.

"Despite their arrogated prominence," said Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer, also a Senior Rabbinic Fellow of the CJV, 

"the liberal denominations now represent a minority of Jewish clergy. The great majority of American rabbis revere Jewish tradition, including our responsibility to show respect for government officials and to work amicably with them for the physical and moral betterment of all."

"President Trump has proven himself a great friend of Israel and the Jewish People," he concluded. 

"Any rabbi should be honored to receive High Holy Day greetings from the leader of the free world, especially when we owe him thanks for the many things he has done on our behalf."

The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), directed by prominent rabbinic leaders and representing hundreds of rabbis across North America, articulates an authentic Jewish perspective on current events, and promotes Jewish values through writing and teaching derived from traditional Jewish thought.

Benny Polatseck & Yossi Gestetner Exposed With Massive Chillul Hashem Having Ties to SOROS!

Jewish Traitors Benny Polatseck (left) Yossi Gestetner (right)

The Reagan Battalion run by Benny Polatseck has been previously tied to far left liberal PACs, Soros-funded activist groups

Reagan Battalion has gone out of their way to attack President Trump and other Pro-Trump conservatives at every turn, in a since deleted tweet, they proclaimed

 “The choice is abundantly clear! You either stand with Donald Trump & the KKK, or with the #NeverTrump movement!” 

Sounds pretty similar to what far-left political activists and NeoCons keep saying, right?

Back in February, you might also remember that The Gateway Pundit reported fairly extensively on collusion between Soros far left groups, #NeverTrumpers who paid for opposition research, and an Even McMullin campaign site.

Just last week the Reagan Battalion cheered the exit of Steve Bannon

Yesterday evening one clever YouTuber claims to have been contacted by a low-level Reagan Battalion member who has verified the ringleader of the #NeverTrumper group as  Benny Polatseck.

After this was reported to YouTuber WildGooseBWC , he decided to do some legwork of his own to check into whether the info lined up; to do this he did a comparison of Twitter accounts belonging to The Reagan Battalion, Benny Polatseck, and Colassal PR (a NeoCon strategy and design firm owned by Mr. Polatseck)… well, the results are in:

Watch the full video, where WildGooseBWC goes through all the evidence and gives you a more in-depth look at the man behind it:

The Dying Reform & Conservative Movement Now Want Access To Entire Wall

The Reform and Conservative movements have made an about-face on the Western Wall, telling the Supreme Court that they will no longer agree to the 'Western Wall Compromise', which would have expanded the area allotted for non-traditional prayer services at the southern end of the wall near Robinson's Arch, and that they now seek guaranteed rights for mixed-gender prayer services inside the existing Western Wall Plaza area.

The non-Orthodox movements also demanded representation in the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which controls and manages the Kotel, Yisrael Hayom reported.

In a lengthy 27-page legal brief filed Monday with the Supreme Court ahead of an decision on the matter, the Reform and Conservative movements said that they had only agreed to accept the Western Wall Compromise because the area designated for mixed-prayer was to be included as part of the Western Wall itself.

"The petitioners capitulated on their demand for a pluralistic prayer space at the existing wall due to their understanding that the new Robinson's Arch would be part of the larger Western Wall area, with equal and public access points" read the missive.

The non-Orthodox streams said that that Robinson's Arch was not viewed as part of the existing Western Wall, noting "the complete physical separation between the prayer area located in the Robinson Arch area and the Western Wall site."

They noted that "the regulations regarding holy places define the the Western Wall as the northern plaza, and not Robinson's Arch."

The Reform and Conservative movements also told the court that they seek representation at the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, the group entrusted with managing and controlling the Western Wall, saying that "it is incomprehensible that the group which plays such a large role in the Western Wall's operations represents only the Orthodox, and not all other streams of Judaism."

In June, the government froze a plan which included moving the entrance to the mixed gender prayer section to the other sections' entrances and allowing representatives of the Reform and Conservative movements to be on the Kotel Committee.

The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision on the matter in the upcoming days. The Rabbinate says that Israeli law does not allow the Supreme Court to decide on matters which involve religion or holy places.

Thousands visit Rabbi Kook's grave in Jerusalem

Thousands of Jews from all over Israel arrived at Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook's grave on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives, commemorating 82 years since his passing.

Among the thousands of visitors were Beit El Yeshiva Dean Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed, Har Hamor Yeshiva Dean Rabbi Tzvi Tau, Deputy Defense Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan (Jewish Home), and other rabbis, students, and yeshiva deans. Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, dean of Merkaz HaRav yeshiva founded by Rabbi Kook is a cohen forbidden by halakha to enter a cemetery. The yeshiva had a memorial evening in Beit HaRav Kook in his memory.

Born in a village in Latvia in 1865, Rabbi Kook received received rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yechiel Michal HaLevy Epstein, the author of the Arukh HaShulchan at the young age of 19. That same year, he became engaged to the daughter of the Aderet, Rabbi Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim. She gave birth to a daughter, but died just a few years later. Thereafter, Rabbi Kook married her first cousin, daughter of the Aderet’s twin brother; she bore him two daughters and a son, the famed Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook.

Rabbi Kook was Israel's first Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi, as well as a rabbinic authority, kabbalist, and philosopher.

He founded Israel's Chief Rabbinate, as well as the Merkaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem.

Chaim & Faigy Gluck Killed In House Fire On 44 Street Boro-Park

The 3-alarm fire broke out at about 4 a.m. in a two and a half story house at 1174 44th Street early Monday morning.

Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and flames on the first floor.

By the time they got into the home, the fire had spread to the second floor.

Kallah Dies During Sheva Brachos Week

The sudden death of the bride Shani Levi-Berdichevsky, just before celebrating her last of sheva brachos, stunned her acquaintances who mourn the great loss. She was electrocuted in her own home R”L.

The bride and her family together with her widowed husband, Danny Berdichevsky, belonged to the “Shaagas Aryeh” community in Tirat HaCarmel headed by Rabbi Yechezkel Rubin, who tells of the couple’s fortune until their wedding together as well as reconstructing the terrible tragedy.

“It’s a traditional family,” Rabbi Rubin says of the bride’s family, “Shani has been in the process of becoming religiously observant for four years, and her husband Danny, has started to grow stronger in the past year. His parents, who are Ukrainian, are strongly opposed. They live in the Krayot and therefore, when his parents would meet with him from time-to-time, Danny wore a kippa sruga due to their strong opposition to him becoming chareidi, feeling this would be less offensive to them.

Rabbi Rubin relates that Danny came to the community of Shaagas Aryeh through his friends who were members of the community and thus began to become stronger in his observance. “From time-to-time he would travel to Jerusalem for a few days to absorb the atmosphere, while telling his parents he was traveling abroad,” says the rabbi.

During the conversation, Rabbi Rubin returns to the difficult moments of Sunday, 29 Menachem Av, the last of their sheva brachos, in which the kallah died of electrocution. “The last sheva brachos was supposed to be in their home,” he says. “We gave the kovod to her father as a cantor, to be shaliach tzibur for Mincha. Before Maariv, rumors began to circulate that something had happened.”

“Her husband found her lying in the bathtub,” says Rabbi Rubin. “The water was not even open, but nevertheless, the electric problem was so severe, that only touching the faucet caused electrocution. There were electricity problems there, with the circuit breaker jumping often. The landlord sent them a local electrician who apparently did something temporary, albeit without doing the minimum he should. This is truly death by negligence”, the rabbi concluded.

“She has kept kedusha and tahara all these years,” the rabbi eulogized the kallah in pain, adding “she has been a chareidi for some time already [referring to the nifteres].”

Rabbi Rubin adds that it is hard for him to communicate with Danny’s parents. “It was exactly at the wedding that the relationship between them began to improve and I was amazed at how the father actually wept with excitement and joy, and they just accepted that their son became chareidi,” he added in a pained voice.

The body was released by police and the levaya was on Sunday afternoon in Tirat HaCarmel.

'Deri is a criminal, has no right to slander religious Zionists'

Harav Dovid Stav Shlitah

Aryeh Deri

Chairman of the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization Rabbi David Stav responded this morning to comments made by Minister Aryeh Deri against a number of senior religious Zionist rabbis within the context of their struggle with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.

Speaking with Reshet Bet, Rabbi Stav said,

 “I don’t think that you expect that, at the beginning of the month of Elul, the month of forgiveness and mercy, a rabbi heading an organization of hundreds of rabbis working day and night to sanctify life would react to the words of any activist convicted of criminal offenses who dares to slander an entire public and a rabbinical organization numbering hundreds of rabbis. We didn’t convene for the sake of responding to convicted criminals.”

 Deri was convicted of a felony in the past, but served the sentence meted out by the courts. He is being interrogated currently for alleged misuse of funds.

Rabbi Stav called to address essential points, saying that “the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization has struggled against the Conversion Law, whose beginning and end were an act of deceit by that same activist.”

“We all want to prevent the possibility of Sudanese refugees and others from immigrating to Israel under false pretenses. [Deri] tricked government ministers, telling them that he was proposing a law to prevent this possibility, which we all share a desire to prevent.”

"The [Conversion] Law doesn’t talk about the Law of Return or about foreign workers,” Rabbi Stav explained, “but stipulates that the state of Israel will not recognize any conversion undertaken in Israel if it is not carried out within the system of that activist (referring to the Chief Rabbinate, ed.).”

Regarding the assertion that the activity of Tzohar rabbis resembles that of the Reform movement, Rabbi Stav said, “This is ignorance of a man who doesn’t know his right from his left, neither in Torah, halakha [Jewish law], nor in the Reform movement.”

On Monday, Deri had said in a closed conference, "Even those with knitted skullcaps (religious Zionists), in very large communities, are already on the edge of the Reform Movement.”

"Anyone who knows how the synagogues and prayer services are run there...there are really big changes. True - there are more kippot and they are more Israeli, but they are on the edge of the Reform (referring to some groups within liberal Orthodox Jewry, ed.)."

Minister Deri's recording of the conference was broadcast on Channel 2 news. 

He also referred to the conversion law and said that "the greatest fighters against this law were Tzohar rabbis, together with the Reform movement, because they knew that the goal was to destroy. They enjoyed the tolerance of others, in order to slander the rabbinate and to look for all the faults."

The Shas chairman attacked the Tzohar movement. "Everything is free (referring to Tzohar's performing marriages without charge, ed.), with a smile, with a bright face, when we all know the truth."
