Second migrant caravan storms into Mexico: 'Violent' group from Central America carrying BOMBS and guns defies a huge police presence to cross the border from Guatemala as Trump deploys 5,200 troops

The second migrant caravan, believed to be armed with bombs and guns, crossed into Mexico on Monday despite a huge police presence.

Hundreds of migrants following in the footsteps of the first caravan heading to the U.S. border crossed a river from Guatemala.

A low-flying police helicopter hovered overhead as the migrants waded in large groups through the Suchiate River's murky waters, apparently trying to use the downdraft from its rotors to discourage them. 

Guatemala's Noti7 channel reported that one man drowned and aired video of a man dragging a seemingly lifeless body from the river.

Once on the Mexican side the migrants were surrounded and escorted by black-uniformed officers as sirens wailed. 

The second group back at the Guatemalan frontier has been more unruly than the first that crossed. Guatemala's Interior Ministry said Guatemalan police officers were injured when the migrant group broke through border barriers on Guatemala's side of the bridge.

Mexico authorities said migrants attacked its agents with rocks, glass bottles and fireworks when they broke through a gate on the Mexican end but were pushed back, and some allegedly carried guns and firebombs.

On Monday, Mexican Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete Prida lamented what he called a second 'violent attempt' to storm the border, accusing people of placing the elderly, pregnant women and children at the front, putting them at risk of being crushed.

LEV TAHOR HORROR: Gunfire, Knives & Rocks Directed at Woman Who Came to Rescue Her Children From The Cult

The horror stories involving the Lev Tahor cult, currently located in Guatemala, continue following the death of its leader Shlomo Helbrans in Mexico in 2017. Since then, the leadership has moved into the hands of Nachman Helbrans, along with Mayer Rosner and Yaakov Yoel Weingarten, who are even more radical and aggressive than the late founder.

The latest story involves a woman who left the cult and came back to rescue her children, but was attacked with knives, gunfire and rocks and was not successful in the rescue mission.

The story involves a woman named Rebbetzin Teller, a sister of current Lev Tahor leader, Nachman Helbrans (Shlomo’s brother). She is married and has 6 children: 4 girls and 2 boys. Her oldest daughter is 13, and was forced to marry a 17-year-old boy, the son of cult leader Mayer Rosner. They reportedly now have a baby.

Two Girls Beaten by a Black Lady in Crown Heights

Two Jewish girls were victims of a senseless attack in broad daylight, just hours before Shabbos.

The incident occurred just after 3pm on President Street between Utica and Schenectady Avenues. 

Two Jewish girls were walking to their house, when a black female in front of their house approached them, and punching one of the girls in the face, as well as hitting her with a rock.

The assailant fled down President St. toward Schenectady Ave, and turned down Schenectady towards Carroll St.

911 and Shomrim were called, and although they arrived quickly, were unable to locate the assailant.

The girl assaulted sustained injuries to her face, and was treated on scene by Hatzolah. The other did not sustain any injuries.

US Jews, move to Israel! Rabbi Riskin

Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, the rabbi of the local council of Efrat and founder of Ohr Torah Stone, calls on US Jews to immigrate to Israel in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.

"As a rabbi in America, I always called on American Jews to immigrate to Israel and hundreds of families immigrated to Israel," said Rabbi Riskin, who immigrated to Israel himself. "I'm convinced that in the end there'll be no Jew who won't understand that his real home is here in Israel.

"I don't want them to make aliyah because of anti-Semitism," Rabbi Riskin clarified, "because they'll understand it's a better [place]. Efrat's much better and nicer. I hope the situation there won't be worse and they'll be forced to make aliyah quickly, but in the meantime they're in a state of caution. I don't say this is the end of American Jewry, but there's a message of danger now.

"I very much respect and like President Trump. He's a good president for the US and Israel. He said yesterday clearly that there should be people with weapons in every synagogue and every meeting so that if there are crazy people they can be stopped immediately."

"It's important that the shooter receive the death penalty. It must be clear that such anti-Semitism isn't accepted in America, and therefore it's important that the person who did it receive the death penalty. Maybe in Israel too they will learn from this and will also give the death penalty. When someone comes to kill you, you rise and kill him first.

"American Jewry isn't the only one that has to defend itself. It's a serious problem all over the world. In England, the situation is very acute, and especially if Corbyn is elected prime minister. In France there's a very frightening phenomenon. Thank G-d, we have the State of Israel and the Jews have a place to go."

Rabbi Riskin said that "the people of Israel are hated by the nations of the world because the nations understand only aggression and when there's a need for justice, and a nation that says that power isn't important but compassion, then those people hate it and see it as a danger.

"We're at a time when the people see that we're becoming stronger and more blessed. We're now a real force in the Middle East, and the people who want the opposite morality understand this. The aggressiveness and not the people who express their kindness and mercy [are the problem], and that's part of anti-Semitism today

FAKE "Jewish Group Causing Massive Chillul Hashem by telling Trump: "You are not welcome in Pittsburgh"

So Called "Leaders" from a Pittsburgh "Jewish group" have released an open letter – signed by more than 16,000 people (most signers are non-Jews) – to President Trump saying he is unwelcome in the city unless he denounces white nationalism after 11 people were massacred inside a synagogue.

Joshua Friedman, the ring leader, causes huge Chillul Hashem!

“For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” wrote 11 members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc, a national social justice group of progressive Jews, The Washington Post reported.

“You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence,” they wrote in the letter, which was published Sunday.

“Our Jewish community is not the only group you have targeted. You have also deliberately undermined the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities,” the letter continued.

“Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country.”

The letter was signed by Jamie Forrest, Joshua Friedman, Jamie Harris, Tammy Hepps, Harry Hochheiser, Sasha King, Jonathan Mayo, Elinor S. Nathanson, Avigail S. Oren, Kate Rothstein and Yael Silk.

Pro-Israel Jair Bolsonaro wins 56% of the votes in second round of voting in Brazil

Far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro won a sweeping victory in Brazil's presidential election on Sunday, the BBC reported.

With more than 90% of the vote counted, Bolsonaro – who has been dubbed “the Brazilian Donald Trump – had won 56% of the votes against 44% for his rival, Fernando Haddad from the left-wing Workers Party.

Bolsonaro, a staunch social conservative who ran on a law-and-order platform amid a massive spike in violent crime, won the first round of the presidential election on October 7 with 46% of the vote to Haddad’s 29%.

In the legislative elections, Bolsonaro’s SLP won 52 seats in the lower chamber of the Brazilian congress, a 44-seat increase, while the Workers’ Party fell from 69 seats to 56.

A former captain in the Brazilian army, Bolsonaro drew international attention after he compared himself to US President Donald Trump and declared himself “an admirer” of the American president.

Like Trump, Bolsonaro has vowed to relocate his nation’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Bolsonaro also called for the closure of the Palestinian Authority embassy in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia.

“Is Palestine a country? Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here,” he said, adding, “You don’t not negotiate with terrorists.”

A month before the first round of the election, Bolsonaro was stabbed during a campaign rally in the city of Juiz de Fora in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais.

Shaked at Lubavitcher Rebbe's grave

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked visited the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in New York Sunday. Shaked lit a candle in his memory, recited Psalms for the success of her family and the State of Israel, and left a note with requests, as is the custom at the site.

Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, the director of the Kollel Chabad, Rabbi Shalom Duchman, and Rabbi Menachem Brod, Chabad emissary and community leader of the minister in north Tel Aviv, accompanied Shaked during her visit.

"The Chabad movement is doing holy work around the world and is helping many Jews wherever they are," said Shaked. "I had the honor to visit the Rebbe's Ohel today, to speak with the leaders of the community and to hear about the Rebbe's special leadership."

"Brit Milah That Is Done On Shabbat "

The Halachah is that if a baby is born on Shabbat, the Brit Milah (circumcision) will also take place on Shabbat, since the Torah explicitly writes that the day that a Brit Milah takes place is on the 8th day.

Since the 8th day in this case falls on the Shabbat, we do all that needs to be done to make sure that the Brit takes place, since a Brit in the correct time (8th day) takes precedence over the laws of Shabbat. In this case the Mohel may bring all the necessary  paraphernalia on Shabbat that would be required for the Brit.

BRIS MASSACRE IN PITTSBURGH 11 MURDERED

Shooter screamed ‘All Jews must die’ before opening fire inside synagogue

At least 11 people were killed after a gunman opened fire at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue. According to the report, the gunman yelled "All these Jews need to die".

The gunman has been preliminarily identified as 46-year-old Robert Bauer, a Trump hating anti-Semite. The shooting reportedly happened during a circumcision ceremony and over 12 people were shot. 80 people were in the Synagogue during the shooting. Bauer also shot three police officers.

The attack was condemned by President Trump, who tweeted that he is "Watching the events unfolding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement on the scene. People in the Squirrel Hill area should remain sheltered. Looks like multiple fatalities. Beware of active shooter. God Bless All!"

Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett condemned Saturday's grisly shooting, tweeting that "The State of Israel and the Israeli government received with shock and pain the reports of the terrible attack on the Jewish community in Pittsburgh. We anxiously follow the reports and pray that the event will end soon."

"At the same time, I have now instructed the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs to prepare to assist the community in every possible way. Our hearts are with the families of those killed and injured. May the memory of the murdered be blessed. "

Israeli officials say that Prime Minister Netanyahu is closely following the situation in Pittsburgh. The shooting was also condemned by Jewish Agency Chairman Isaac Herzog.

"A terrible massacre during the Shabbat service at the Etz Hayyim Synagogue in Pittsburgh," said Herzog. "We at the Jewish Agency are sore and distressed by the disaster of the warm Jewish community of Pittsburgh. The Jewish Agency is ready to assist in any way to the Jewish community in Pittsburgh and expresses its deep sorrow over the loss of life and the injury to the wounded."

Monsey Yeshivos Not Accepting Children Not Vaccinated! .... TWO THOUSAND Unvaccinated People Receive Measles Vaccine in Monsey Since Outbreak

According to a News 12 report, in just a few days, two thousand people have received the measles vaccine in Monsey.

Rockland County administered around 300 MMR vaccines, and a partnering health clinic has given out 1,700.

Dozens of families turned up Thursday to the county’s Health Department, which was offering free MMR vaccines at the community outreach center. It was the latest in a series of free vaccine clinics offered by the county following the outbreak, which started at the beginning of this month.

The outbreak started after several people infected with the virus returned from Israel.

The number of confirmed cases is up to 18, with six more suspected.

There will be another free vaccine clinic Friday in Spring Valley.

Last Wednesday, it was reported that 6 residents of Williamsburg and seven residents of Rockland County were confirmed to have the disease. An additional eight suspected cases in Rockland County were being investigated involving a mix of adults and children. Many are linked to recent travel to Israel which has been dealing with the disease for months.

Last Thursday, the Viznitz Monsey Girls School announced that any child who is not immunized, can’t return to school for 21 days. No “religious exemption” is accepted. A religious exemption does not work when there is a measles outbreak.

Adie Horowitz the Nit-Picker

Adie Horowitz wasn’t supposed to be a successful entrepreneur.

“I’m an Orthodox Jewish woman from Brooklyn,” the 60-year-old says. “In my community, it was expected that I would be a teacher or a secretary, or work for somebody else. It was not expected that I would grow a multimillion-dollar business.”

She defied expectations and created a multimillion-dollar business.

Not just any business. A business that’s weird, embarrassing and, well, kinda gross.

Horowitz owns Licenders, operating six lice removal locations in New York and Connecticut. She employs about 40 people and says she has more than a hundred contracts with schools.

As CNBC Make It visited a location on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, there was a steady stream of customers with appointments or just dropping in, scratching their heads. This store alone does $1 million in annual sales, but Horowitz also makes house calls or visits schools. “We spend about $3,000 a month on Uber,” she says.

Chareidie Extremist Suddenly Very Quiet About The IDF Draft! No Protests???

No protests against the draft ..... not a word .. silent ....
Satmar Chassidim in Yerushalyim, Bnei Brak and Bet Shemesh ... quiet .. silent 
The Auerbach extremists  .....???
Sha .... shtil ...... not a peep ....

Where are the Kenaoim who protest the Draft in Kikar Ha'shabas?????

Where are the American "Tuchis Lekkers" like the Lakewood Roshei Yeshivois .... the Satmar Newspapers screaming against the draft???????

Is there no issues now with the draft?????

No More Draft??????

Guess What???? 

 A student of the Kol Torah Yeshiva of the Nahal faction was detained for a week and a half after not appearing at the recruitment center. His detention was extended until the end of the proceedings.

But still no protests ....... No blocking roads.... Nope ... 
"Let him rot in jail"..... "but we will not protest until after the elections!! 

Why isn't Satmar organizing huge protests against Voting in the elections of the Zionist State of Israel????
Every time there were elections, Satmar managed to produce tens of thousands against voting ..... 

Now???? SHaaaaaaaaaa Shtil,......................

👀 .??   .  👀 . ?? .👀??

I know your'e dying to know the answer ........


The truth is that Satmar, the kinoaim ... the Auerbach extremists .... are all fakes, phonies, and frauds .... 
they are not against the elections... it was all show .... 
Yes its true that they are against the draft, because they don't want to do anything but kvetch the seats in shul!
So why not protest aginst the draft ... now ... before the elections??
Because as I said .... they are all by in large two faced liars! 
It's all Sheker ......

Until this election, the Chareidim were by and large together, the "Gedoilim" would put up their candidates and compromise and agree on a slate .... 
Degel and Agudah with the rest of the fake Chareidie parties were all on the same page ..
. 
So no matter what happened .... the Satmar phonies and Auerbach Extremists frauds would benefit ... because the more Chareidie guys came in  ... the more benefits to the Chareidim, so even if  Fake Satmar/Auerbach screamed and protested against voting ...
they benefited from the Charedie winning the elections...
and even though they scream "chai ve'kayom" that they don't take money from the medinah, everyone and his cat knows that it's all a bunch of lies!
At the end of the day it was all good ... they officially protested, and the  bottom line was that they got what the rest of the Chareidim got ...

The elections in Israel this year is different .....
The Chareidim themselves are split ... The Gedoilim are no longer on the same page .... and now all Frum candidates in all municipal districts are in danger of losing seats .... 
Why?
Because instead of agreeing on one candidate and all vote for that guy, there are now from 2 to 3 frum candidates running in the same
city!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Against each other!
This will now endanger the frum parties, because it will split the vote and the chilonie and "dati" guys who are waiting in the bushes like a cat waiting to pounce on the mouse, will now pounce and may actually win the municipal elections in all cities!

So if Satmar and the Auerbach fanatics make any sound about the "draft" ..... protest against the draft ... stop traffic etc ...
guess what happens ....
they lose the elections! 
and if that happens ... Satmar will finally be telling the truth .. that they "don't take money from the medinah" .... because they "takeh" won't get any!

So now at least till next week Tuesday ... you can drive anywhere in Israel and get wherever you need to go ...on time!

Now... if they really believed in their cause .... why would they stop their protests???? 
Isn't it "Yeherag Ve'al Yaavoir???
Liars ... frauds ....
they don't believe in their own SHIT'ah

Israel Hater Andrew Gillum Running for Governor of Florida Ahead 6 points in Polls

A Quinnipiac University poll Tuesday showed Gillum ahead of Republican opponent Ron DeSantis 52 percent to 46 percent among likely voters, with double-digit leads among women, Hispanics and independents. 

It’s the third such poll in recent days to show Gillum with a clear lead, as his overall edge in public polling widened to its largest level since Oct. 1, according to RealClearPolitics’ aggregation of survey data.

Six Reasons Andrew Gillum is Dangerous for Israel

1 – Gillum called Donald Trump’s historic decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem “unnecessary” and a “provocation” that has “incited more violence.”

2 – Gillum outrageously accused Israel of using Gaza terror rockets to “justify” its “actions” against Palestinians. Gillum further charged that Israel engaged in an “outsized response” against Palestinian threats and claimed alleged Israeli disproportionate “fire power” and “pushback” are the primary causes of regional instability.

3 – Gillum aided the Dream Defenders group that promotes the boycott of Israel and spews anti-Israel conspiracies.

4 – Gillum’s Dream Defenders allies teach kids to glorify a deadly Palestinian terrorist organization.

5 – Gillum encouraged attendees at a CAIR-hosted conference promoting the boycott of Israel.

6 – Gillum graduated an Oakland, California-based training school for progressive revolutionaries that has spawned a list of activists who have gone on to become the who’s who of the far-left leadership world, with many taking senior positions at organizations financed by billionaire George Soros. The group has trained numerous anti-Israel activist leaders and has been a training center for activists with the pro-Palestinian, Soros-funded New Israel Fund, which finances scores of anti-Israel organizations.

The moment thief steals $97K worth of 47th Street Diamond District jewels

Surveillance footage from inside a Diamond District store shows just how easy it is to swipe tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry.

At Rafaello & Co. on West 47th Street near Sixth Avenue, the thief is caught on tape simply waiting until no one was watching.

He then reaches around the corner of the counter to grab 19 diamond bracelets worth a total of $97,000 from the display, which was open in the back, police said Tuesday.

The grab occurred July 30, but the video was just released, showing the thief wearing black pants, a back shirt and a backpack.

The suspect has not been identified by police and is still at large, cops said.

Two Kosher Businesses Compete for Investments on ‘Shark Tank,’ One Leaves With a Deal

Two kosher businesses were vying for investments Sunday night on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” and one of them left with a deal from two of the show’s tycoons.

Israeli-born chef Guy Vaknin, who owns the kosher-vegan food chain Beyond Sushi, entered the Shark Tank seeking a $1.5 million investment in exchange for 25 percent of his West Coast business and five percent of his East Coast business. His restaurants, which have a large vegan menu including salads, wraps, dumplings, and sushi rolls, mostly offer grab-and-go meal options and the company is projected to reach $5.6 million in sales for 2018. Beyond Sushi employs more than a hundred people, has six New York locations, and another location is set to open in Manhattan this year, according to The Forward.

Guest Shark Matt Higgins partnered up with Lori Greiner and together they offered Vaknin $1.5 million for a 30 percent partnership in West Coast operations and a 15 percent partnership in East Coast operations, an offer that the chef accepted. The deal was Higgins’ first on “Shark Tank.”

Mother and daughter Sara and Marilyn Polon were also seeking an investment on “Shark Tank” Sunday night for their company Soupergirl, which creates kosher handmade, plant-based nutritious soups. Soupergirl began as a small, local business in Washington DC, but can now can be found in 50 natural food stores, 20 box food stores, and two retail stores. Although the company is currently valued around $5 million, none of the Sharks made Soupergirl an offer because the product margins were too low.

The Belzer rebbe's passport Being Auctioned!

In recent days, an unknown Polish passport was discovered, with the photograph and signature of the Rabbi Aharon Rokeach, the fourth Rebbe of Belz.
The passport was prepared for the purpose of leaving the country at the height of the War of Independence. It was issued in Tel Aviv by the Polish consulate on March 10, 1948. The passport is to be sold for sale next month at the Kedem auction house in Jerusalem.

The passport was prepared against the background of the petition of the Rebbe's followers from Europe who were concerned about his safety following the dangerous situation in Israel. This plan did not come to fruition because of the rebbe's decision to remain in the land of Israel.

Maron Aran, one of the owners of the Kedem auction house, says that "This is a rare historical item of extraordinary value that came into our possession, an unknown passport that was not recognized until now, neither among the Belz Hasidim nor among the researchers of the period. 

The passport is an important symbol of the difficult period Belz Hasidism went though at the time of the establishment of the State - from Holocaust to Revival."

'Yeshiva stabber' acquitted

A Charedi yeshiva student accused of stabbing a fellow student in the chest has been acquitted, after it was determined that the suspect was in a “psychotic” state at the time of the incident, and could not be held responsible for his actions.

In August, a 17-year-old student at the Knesset Hagedolah yeshiva on Hafetz Haim Street in the haredi city of Modi’in Illit repeatedly stabbed a fellow student in the chest.

Police were called to the scene of the incident, and quickly apprehended the perpetrator, who had fled to his dorm room after the stabbing.

The victim, who suffered three stab wounds to the chest, was evacuated in serious condition to Tel Hashomer Medical Center in Ramat Gan.

Powerball and Mega Millions combined jackpot hits $2.22B

The Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are now at a combined $2.22 billion, as bettors with big dreams hope the total soars even higher before this week’s drawings.

The Powerball prize climbed to $620 million after no one hit all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing — but it’s the Mega Millions’ already-record $1.6 billion kitty that’s garnering all the attention.

“The greedy part of me wants to play only Mega Millions because who can resist a billion and a half dollars?” Michael Estaban, 38, of Lakeview, LI, said on Sunday.
“But then the common sense in me says I should split my money between the two, because why should I pass up a measly half a billion?”

Estaban ended up plunking down $10 apiece on Mega Millions and Powerball tickets at Carlton Cards in Penn Station, which sells an average of $246,000 in tickets a week, the most in New York state, according to data obtained by USA Today.

The Mega Millions pot is so out of control that its 11 directors have ramped up their usual twice-a-week phone calls to once a day to figure out the new total.

The consortium of lottery officials is holding its next conference call Monday morning to analyze ticket sales from over the weekend to determine whether it can up the jackpot.

“If sales are running ahead, we may take the jackpot up another notch,” Mega Millions lead director Gordon Medenica told The Post.

Asked whether the Mega Millions could reach $2 billion, Medenica replied, “I’m not going to jinx it.’’

HaRav Yitzchok Paler, Rosh Yeshiva Mekor Chaim Passes Away Suddenly

Rav Paler reportedly suffered a massive heart attack on Sunday night. Hatzolah responded to the Rosh Yeshiva’s home where he was found unresponsive and was Niftar a short while later. He was 67.

The Yeshiva was founded in Brooklyn by the Rosh Yeshiva’s father, Rav Binyomin Z”TL, in 1965. In 2012, the Yeshiva relocated to its current home in Lakewood.

For many decades, Rav Binyomin Paler zt”l was known as the repository of the true Brisk in the United States, a Mesorah carried on by his illustrious sons and Talmidim. Rav Binyamin was one of the closest Talmidim of the Brisker Rov, Rav Velvel Soloveitchik, and a chavrusah of Rav Berel Soloveitchik Z”TL – father of Rav Avrohom Yehoshua Shlita, the current Rosh Yeshiva of Brisk in Yerushalayim.

Rav Binyamin zt”l escaped World War II together with the Mirrer Yeshiva via Shanghai. Rav Paler was the son-in-law of the Mattesdorfer Rav, R' Shmuel Ehrenfeld z"l, and was the Rosh Yeshivah for many years in Yeshivah Chasan Sofer.

 After the war, he helped Rav Leib Malin zt”l launch Yeshiva Bais HaTalmud before founding his own Yeshiva, Mekor Chaim. Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l himself suggested the name – to show all that Rav Paler embodied the authentic teachings and continuity of Rav Chaim Soloveitchik himself.
