Lakewood Mother Finds Nanny Smothering Child With Pillow


Crazy Story .... I don't get why the family didn't call police???
Offers to drive her to the bus? Whats wrong with people isn't that your child .....drive her off a cliff.
He called the agency? And now he is ok because the "agency is investigating?"
Something doesn't add up....
A Lakewood father  awoke during the night to hear his 4-week-old infant screaming, and then suddenly stopping. The father ran to the door of the newborns bedroom, where he listened from outside. he heard silence, and then suddenly heard shrieking. 
The mother barged into the room to find their nanny standing over the the child with a pillow on her face.
The mother yelled “what are you doing”?!
The nurse responded “it’s not what it looks like”.
The husband ordered the woman out of his home during the night, and offered to drive her to a bus station.
TLS who spoke to the father exclusively said that he was wondering why the baby monitor wasn’t working properly, and now has reason to believe that it was tampered with.
The woman came from a reputable agency that provides live-in nannies. The agency is investigating the incident.

Confused Jewish He/She Upset Because His Hormones Are Made In Israel!

Former "Putz" now "Yenta" Ita Segev 


This is one of the funniest things I've ever read, from Them, an LGBTQ online magazine, by Ita Segev, a "transfeminine anti-Zionist Israeli interdisciplinary performance artist."
I am an Israeli trans woman who desperately needs Palestine to be free. ....I need this because I understand that trans liberation and Palestinian liberation are linked.

Yehuda and Tamar Kaduri Found Murdered In Yerusalayim


Authorities have identified the victims of an apparent double murder in the capital, less than a day after the victims’ remains were recovered from their apartment.

Police and emergency teams discovered the couple dead on Sunday, with signs of violence on the bodies which police said made it clear the two had been murdered.

On Monday, police identified the victims as Yehuda 71, and Tamar Kaduri 68.

The discovery was made after relatives of the couple became concerned after they were unable to reach them by phone for several days. Relatives say that since Thursday they had not spoken with the Kaduris.

Police suspect that the couple were slain on Thursday – a day after a stabbing attack at a nearby bus stop.

During the attack, a 15-year-old girl was wounded by a man she described as being of “Arabic appearance”. She was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in light-to-moderate condition.

While police have refused to divulge details from the investigation, saying only that “all directions” were being examined, some neighbors have expressed concern that the double homicide may have been an act of terror perpetrated by the terrorist involved in the bus stop stabbing.


Investigators say the two victims in the apartment were stabbed, but that the cause of death did not appear to be the stab wounds, with other “signs of violence” found on the bodies.

Day Yoimie Snippets ... Chullin 40, 41, 42,43, 44, 45, & 46


Hey ladies ... here is an opportunity to test your husbands and see if he really goes to the daf....

This is a good opportunity for the entire family to share thoughts on the daf ... so that the family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying.  
I try to break it down so that everyone can understand it .... however this particular tractate is difficult ... 
You can copy and print this without my consent, since Torah belongs to all of us..... 

See  previous Daf Yoimie Snippets 

This week's "Daf Yoimie Snippets Sponsored For the Refuah Shliemah of צארטל בת אסתר מלכה

"דף מ' "אין אדם אוסר דבר שאינו שלו       
Page40  Mesectas Chullin  
"One Cannot Halachacly Disqualify An Object That He Doesn't Own" 

On this daf we learn an interesting rule that a "person cannot  prohibit something that is not his even through a significant and complete act."

For example:
A person goes and worships a puddle of water that accumulated at the edge of a lake...... the halacha is that he has not rendered the puddle of water unfit for use ....even though he worshipped the water as an idol.
Why?
Because the water was not his ...
If, on the other hand, he took some of the water in the palms of his hand ... then the halacha is that he has now acquired that water for himself and if he bows down to the water in his hand ... it is considered an idol, an Avoda Zara, and the water is prohibited for use ...

Another example:
Someone decides to take his neighbor's animal and slaughters it for the sake of his idol .... the halacha is that the animal can be eaten ... why? The animal wasn't his. He can only render the animal unfit for consumption, if he slaughtered his own animal for the sake of an idol.

"Alter Kocker" Engel Says "Going After Trump Is More Important Than Fighting Terrorism"

What is it with Jews? 
Are we wondering why Goyim hate us? Are we wondering why there is rampant anti-Semitism?
Here is a 'yukel" who apparently served in the House since 1989, and no one ever heard of this putz.
Now like a roach who crawls out of a crack in the wall he shows up and babbles like an old yenta on a park bench that he is after the President of the USA and thinks President Trump is a bigger "threat than terrorism?

Let's all press on the link below  and comment on his Facebook page and  tell this dangerous demagogue that  as Jews we are embarrassed that he represents us .....

Eilat Ranked Sixth-Best Place To Visit In 2019 By ‘New York Times’


Eilat is a must-visit for tourists in 2019, according to The New York Times, which Thursday released a ranking of 52 places to go in 2019.
The newspaper wrote that the coral reef, boasting hundreds of varieties of neon fish, sharks and stingrays, are the Red Sea resort’s main attraction, but it is the opening of the new Ramon Airport that opened Israel’s most southern city to the wider public.
With direct flights from European destinations, including Munich, Frankfurt, Prague and London, tourists are now be able to circumvent complicated travel options like charter flights from Tel Aviv or the long drive through the Negev desert, and land directly in the Timna Valley, just a 20 minute drive away from Eilat.


Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hanging On ...Even As Trump Administration Searches For Replacement

Hey Rutele..... my "alteh katchkeh" resign with dignity now... before they have to take you out in pieces......

Blonde woman who 'stuck out like a sore thumb' in her Frum community learns her real dad is a STRANGER

Dani Shapiro, seen here with Paul Shapiro, knew that she physically looked out of place among the mostly Eastern-European Ashkenazi Jews she grew up around
      

An author explores a strange and surprising story in a new book about her own heritage growing up as an Orthodox Jew only to find out her lineage was not at all what she was led to believe.
Dani Shapiro, 56, the author of Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love, always thought Wall Street stockbroker Paul Shapiro, who died in a car accident in 1986, had been her father until she took a DNA test in 2016.
'It upended my world,' said Shapiro in an interview with the New York Post
Her mother Irene had once told her she had received fertility help, which Shapiro uncovered happened at the Farris Institute for Parenthood in Philadelphia, long since closed.
Paul Shapiro's sperm was apparently mixed with an anonymous donation to inseminate Irene in a process called 'confused artificial insemination.'

Menachem and Rachel Cohen Think Their Daughter Is A "Lulav" .. Bind Her With Duct Tape

An upstate mom and dad were charged Wednesday with binding their daughter with duct tape and forcing her into the back of their car on the Lower East Side.
Menachem and Rachel Cohen, of Monticello, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to second-degree assault, coercion, unlawful imprisonment and other charges.
They were arrested on Feb. 25, 2018, after witnesses reported to police that they saw Rachel struggling in the car with the 19-year-old, who was not identified in court papers.
She was duct taped around her wrists, ankles and mouth, the papers said.
The couple allegedly told responding officers that their daughter has a mental disorder and needed treatment. EMS transported her to Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric ward.

“Everyone Is Smart, Except Donald Trump:”

Rav Dov Fischer

It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires, and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.
They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. 
But — oh, wow! — Can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.
Remember the four years when Anderson Cooper was President of the United States? And before that — when the entire Washington Post editorial staff jointly were elected to be President? Remember? Neither do I.
The Seedier Media have never negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are experts, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30.

"Retarded Jews" Booted Off Spirit Airline Flight


Personally? I think Spirit is a crappy airline and you get what you pay for .... Having said this .... I side with the airline in this respect for many reasons ....

#1 Spirit is a "no-frills" airline .... that means nothing on board except for a small carry on ... it is written "be'feirish" on the website..... Anyone that has travelled with them ... knows this.. that's why you paid $10.00 approx for your ticket ..

#2 I don't believe "Yisroel" from Bor-Park's story that  a Spirit "gate-agent" allowed them to take it on ...its a lie!! I would venture to go out on a limb and say that "Yisroel" of Boro-Park thought that he was in the Voydistlover Shteeble, and tried to sneak it on.

#3 Why weren't they putting on the seat belts???? I don't see them refuting that fact!

#4 I agree with that flight attendant that allegedly called them "retarded" ..... 

An Orthodox Jewish family from New York was escorted off of a Spirit Airlines flight this week and banned from the airline for life following a heated dispute, which allegedly included anti-Semitic slurs, over a child safety seat.

According to a press release from the office of recently retired New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, the incident occurred this Tuesday on an early-morning Spirit Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A Jewish couple, identified as Chani and Yisroel from Boro Park, Brooklyn, traveling with their three small children – ages 3, 2, and 1-month - say the trouble began when a flight attendant spotted them with a dual-purpose baby seat and car seat.

The family says that the gate agent at Newark had told the couple that they would be able to take the dual-purpose seat onto the flight.

Finally .... Israel Opens "for Jews Only" Highway Near Jerusalem

We have had enough of Arab savages throwing rocks at us .... let them call us "segregationist"  let them call us "apartheid" ...
We have to protect Jews ....

Israel inaugurated a new highway in the Judea/Samaria  on Thursday that features a large concrete wall segregating Israeli and Palestinian traffic.
One side of Route 4370 — located northeast of Jerusalem — will be open to Israeli vehicles only, while the other half will only be open to Palestinian traffic. Critics have branded it an “apartheid” highway, saying it is part of a segregated road system that benefits Jewish settlers.
The highway was built as part of a planned ring road east of Jerusalem that would connect the northern and southern West Bank. Construction began in 2005, but the 5-kilometer (3-mile) road lay unfinished for years until 2017.
Israeli officials inaugurating the new road on Wednesday touted it as a means of better connecting West Bank settlements north of Jerusalem to the city.
Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan called the highway “an example of the ability to create coexistence between Israelis and Palestinian while guarding (against) the existing security challenges.”
The Palestinian Authority said in a statement that the “apartheid” road “poses a challenge to the credibility of the international community.”
“It’s a shame on the international community to see an apartheid regime being established and deepened without doing anything to stop it.”

If the Left Doesn't Like Birthright ... Let them start their own program..


Guys read the entire article .... 
by Daniel Gordis 
“American Jews and Israeli Jews Are Headed for a Messy Breakup,” a column by Jonathan Weisman announced in the New York Times earlier this week. He’s probably right. But only “probably.” The relationship does not have to crash, if both sides can acknowledge the profound ways in which the world’s two largest Jewish communities are profoundly different, and cease imposing their own worldview on the other.
To heal this rift, both sides are going to need to accept that we are invariably going to continue disappointing each other, because American Judaism and Israeli Judaism are, by this point, very different animals. As I describe in my forthcoming book, We Stand Divided: Competing Visions of Jewishness and the Rift Between American Jews and Israel, they now rest on almost entirely different foundations. One is universal and one particular, one focuses on Judaism as religion while the other sees Judaism as nationality, one largely exempt from the messiness of history, while the other is the product of a movement that expressly sought to restore the Jews as players into the complexities (and ugliness) of history.
Ultimately, both Israel and American Jews will have to change much about their views of and discourse about the other. At this moment, though, I want to focus on the ways in which American Jews need to rethink their discourse about Israel, since this side of the equation was much in evidence both in Weisman’s column and in another piece week, by Peter Beinart, in the Forward.
As part of the IfNotNow-instigated brouhaha about Birthright, Beinart issued a characteristic warning this week: “Birthright Will Fail If It Doesn’t Evolve With Young Jews,” arguing that Birthright trips do not offer a balanced picture of the conflict, which in turn will lead many young American Jews to ignore the program.

R" Berland admitted Sex Offender Offers Chareidi Parties His Support in Exchange for Photo-Op

Rabbi Berland convicted of sexual offenses has been negotiating his public rehabilitation with Chareidie politicians in exchange for his followers’ political support, according to a television report on Tuesday.
After evading arrest for three years, Eliezer Berland, 80, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in November 2016 on two counts of indecent acts and one case of assault, as part of a plea deal. He was freed after five months, in part due to ill health.
Now, his associates are working to bring him back into the fold, according to a recording obtained by Hadashot.
In the recording, captured before the October municipal elections in Jerusalem, an aide to Berland, Natan Bezenson, is heard speaking with United Torah Judaism’s MK Meir Porush.

Chareidie Parties in Israel Split Up .... "Achdus" is for the "average Shzlub" Not for the "Manhigim"


This "achdus" talk is exactly that ..."talk" ...
Practicing "achdus" preached by all "gedoilim" is only for the poor "Zhlub, who works all day, comes home for a quick bite and runs off to a Daf Yoimie shiur ..the guy who doesn't even have time to fight, who is struggling to pay his "arnonah;" trying his utmost to keep his children from noticing that the "gedoilim" are always fighting between each other and causing them to take a second look at their heritage and to leave all "this" behind because of all the hypocrisy.
Instead of getting together and working out a deal to keep their "learners" out of the army, they will now lose any momentum they had, the IDF will gain more soldiers, and the "gedoilim" will call for protests .... for that there is "achdus"


The United Torah Judaism party has filed a request with Knesset officials to approve its split into its two constituent factions Wednesday.

Samual Isaac Farkas Killed falling off a 9th floor balcony on Collins Ave Miami Beach

The Miami Beach Jewish community was shocked to hear of a horrific tragedy which occurred on Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, when a teenage boy was tragically killed.

16-year-old Yitzchak (Sam) Farkas Z”L, was killed after falling off a 9th floor balcony in what police have confirmed was a tragic accident.
Miami Beach Police Department responded to the La Costa condominium complex at 5333 Collins Ave just before 8:00PM, after receiving reports of a person falling off a balcony at that location.
Miami Beach Police and Fire Rescue units arrived at the scene and found a person laying on the floor in traumatic arrest. He expired at the scene.
Yitzchak had arrived home and found his 9th floor apartment door locked with no one home. He proceeded upstairs to the 10th floor neighbor, and asked to come inside. He explained what had happened and went to the balcony to attempt to lower himself down to his balcony below – knowing that he would be able to get into his apartment. Tragically, he fell while trying to lower himself down, and plunged to his death.
Sadly, Yitzchak celebrated his birthday the day of the tragedy.
Police Chaplain Rabbi Mark Rosenberg and Chesed Shel Emes worked for many hours with police and the medical examiner to ensure proper Kavod Hames.

Mazal Tov ... Two Girls Get Married ... Have Maseder Kiddushin


Did I just hear the Mesader Kiddushin say 
?ברוך אתה ה'  כשמח כלה וכלה

Get me a drink fast ....

The Reform Movement has turned most Galut Jews into ethical monotheists - that is, Bnei Noachs

The Reform Movement takes pride in interpreting the Torah in what it considers a more tolerant and open-minded way. Since the mid-19th century this has meant stripping Judaism and Jewish life of ritual commandments.

The end result has been to effectively turn most Diaspora Jews into Noahides. That is, into ethical monotheists. 

This appears to be harmless until we remember that according to Judaism, Noahides are supposed to be Gentiles - not Jews!

Jews are meant to be a priestly nation and to take over a more challenging – and rewarding – relationship with God. This allows Jews to serve as a light unto the nations and gradually draw all of humanity towards Biblical morality and the worship of one God. 

Number of Jews in Judea and Samaria nears 450,000

Maalei Adumim

The number of Israelis living in Judea and Samaria rose to nearly 450,000 during 2018 settler leaders reported Tuesday morning.

According to a report released by the Yesha Council – the umbrella group representing Israeli municipalities across Judea and Samaria – the Israeli population in the area reached 448,672 in 2018.

That marks a significant decline in the annual growth rate of the total settlement population, which grew by just 12,964 people in 2018, equaling 3.0% annual growth, compared to 14,299 in 2017 (3.4%), 15,765 in 2016 (3.9%), 15,617 in 2015 (4.0%), and 15,558 in 2014 (4.2%).

Chuck Schumer Will Block Pro-Israel Bill

Efforts are underway in the US Senate to block a pro-Israel bill in response to the ongoing government shutdown.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and other Senate Democratic leaders are behind the effort, according to a report by the Washington Examiner on Monday.
The bill is aimed at “allowing state and local governments to divest from entities that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel because of its occupation of the West Bank.”

Israeli Scientists Say That Plants May Actually Be Able to HEAR GardenersTalking to Them and the Buzz of Approaching Bees


Gardeners who talk to their plants are often dismissed as being a little potty, but now there is evidence that the plants may actually be listening.
Flowers not only hear the buzz of approaching bees, but respond by producing sweeter nectar, biologists at Tel Aviv University have found.
This entices the bees to visit more often, increasing the chance of the plant’s pollen being distributed.
When the scientists played recordings of flying bees to evening primrose flowers, the sugar concentration in the nectar rose by an average 20 per cent within three minutes.
The study, published on the website BioRxiv, said it was the first evidence that plants can respond to sounds in ‘an ecologically relevant way’.

Pope Congratulates Cuba for 60 Years of Communism!

Pope Francis twirls a soccer ball he was presented by a member of the Circus of Cuba, during his weekly general audience in the Pope Paul VI hall, at the Vatican, Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2019
The Vatican News website recently paid tribute to Cuba on the 60th anniversary of the Communist revolution in a post that was quickly deleted.

The Communist island nation marked the occasion with celebrations on News Year's Day, while several leftist Latin American leaders tweeted their best wishes.
The socialist despot president of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro tweeted: "We commemorate the anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution led by Commander Fidel Castro. 60 years of sacrifices, struggles and blockade; There is the heroic Cuban people, an example of resistance and dignity to the world. Long Live Cuba!"

In a pinned tweet, another socialist leader, Bolivia's Evo Morales, stated: "We salute the victory of Bro. Commandant. Fidel Castro and the valiant Cuban people on the proimperialist dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista."

Not to be outdone, the Vatican News Service offered its own tribute of sorts to commemorate the festive occasion: Cuba Celebrates 60 Years of the Revolution. The post reportedly read:
The historic anniversary was celebrated with an official ceremony in which the former head of state and leader of the Cuban Communist Party, Raúl Castro, and the current president of the nation, Miguel Díaz-Canel, participated.
The post was apparently deleted, but not before some appalled readers captured it:

Satmar Not Waiting For Moshiach .... Establishes First official Chareidie Town in Chutz Le'aaretz Since the Destruction of the Bais Ha'Mikdash!

Part of Satmar's  philosophy or SHIT'ah vis a vis the State of Israel, is that the State is guilty of what they call "Hisgaaris Be'Umois" which means that the State,just  by being a State is antagonizing the goyim ... which is prohibited ...

The "prohibition" of "Hisgaaris Be'Umois" may or may not apply in Eretz Yisroel ... but it applies certainly in Chutz Le'Aaretz. 

At least in Israel, we know that G-d gave us this land and is waiting for the Jews to come back and populate it so that G-d (so to speak)  can once again reside amongst us in the land bequeathed to us ....
And the State of Israel needs to do things even if it antagonizes its neighbors because it has an obligation to protect its citizens .....
Just last night the Gazan murderers shot a missile towards Ashkelon and the State of Israel not only intercepted it but bombed the Gazan military base.... 

But what excuse is there for Jews in diaspora to antagonize the goyim???
(the towns established like New Square or Kaser and even Kiryas Yoel were part of the Major Towns, for example .. New Square is part of Spring Valley, Kaser Village in Monsey is part of Spring Valley, and even Kiryas Yoel was part of Monroe. This Town has separated from Monroe and is a separate entity)
