Bnei Brak says no to digital signs

I'm asking you guys...seriously... have we gone crazy?
This "farikteh briah" Chaim Meir Langsam must have gone off the deep end ...
Instead of hunting down pedofilles, rapists and dangerous predators freely roaming the streets of Bnei Brak, this meshiginar has nothing on his mind but to ban Digital signs.... which basically mean "Neon" Signs etc...

Question: Mr. Langsam how about first taking out the "digital signs" in all Batei Midrashim and kollim in Bnei-Brak ...?
Let's start with the Digital "Zmanim Chart" in the "Lederman Shul" that R' Chaim Kanievski used to daven in?


The Bnei Brak Municipal Signs Committee headed by city Councilman Chaim Meir Langsam, yesterday made a sweeping decision prohibiting the display of electronic signs in storefronts and in the streets of the city.

He says complaints about inappropriate publications in digital signs posted by business owners in various parts of the city came to the committee's attention.

A council member said the committee sought out halachic and legal opinions, consulted with the city's rabbis and educators, and also approached Mayor Avraham Rubinstein who expressed support for removing the electronic signs from around the city.

At the end of discussions, the committee decided to ban placing electronic signage in stores and in the streets of the city without selective vetting of all advertising content.


However, the committee decided to exempt and permit placing electronic signs that display opening hours and services or products sold in the store or in the business.

It was also reported that regulation guidelines will be drafted in coming days and distributed to city business owners.

"Bnei Brak has a unique character," Langsam explained, "unlike all other cities in Israel and around the world, it has a history and with G-d's help it also has a bright future as a city of Torah and hasidut. Unfortunately, there are business owners who don't understand this basic issue, and seek to bring advertising methods that are also inappropriate elsewhere, but especially in a city like Bnei Brak.

"We were elected and sent to the city council by the rabbis and residents of the city to preserve this unique character, and we're doing all we can to fulfill our mission in the best possible way."

Two Attempted Suicides in Satmar Community ....... Shaaaaaa Shtillllllllllll

I was thinking whether I should write about this since last friday.....  but after receiving hundreds of e-mails from concerned Satmar Chassidim who feel that covering this up will only exacerbate the situation, I decided to make it public.

 They feel strongly that this must come out in the open, so that 'askanim" can come to terms with this and do something ASAP. They feel that as long as people on the streets of Williamsburg think that these episodes were accidents, there will more and more tragedies.... and so after being turned down by the heimeshe  media, and local "askanim" they asked if I can publicize these two attempted suicides so that the regular naive guy living in utopia in Williamsburg opens up his eyes and sees the truth! 

Last Friday, the Jewish and secular media reported a story that on the surface seemed like an accident!

They reported:

"A person suffered critical injuries on Friday afternoon, after he fell off a roof in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.

The incident happened at around 1:00PM, when the 30-year-old man reportedly fell off the roof – around 4 floors – at 128 Rutledge Street. He was initially found unconscious.

Williamsburg Hatzolah Paramedics rushed the man to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. He was conscious and alert, but was having his breathing assisted."

The Truth: This was an attempted suicide! There I said it .... 

What was not reported was that on that same Friday, another Satmar man, a father of six tried to drown himself in a mikvah in Williamsburg and is in critical condition ....

Two Satmar men. husbands and fathers, tried to end their lives on the very same day and the community thinks that these were accidents..........

Why? So that their poor children would do good shidduchim....

On one hand they preach to the masses that "everything is bashert" and with the other hand they keep preventable tragedies secret!

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Shtillllllllllllllllllllllllll!

Lipa Schmeltzer Reconciles With the Skverer Dayan During Flight

Eleven years after he was banished and left the Skvera community, the colorful singer Lipa Shmeltzer met with the Skverer Dayan, Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Eisenberg, who stood behind the  "Lipa Schmeltzer" Skverere boycott and the two reconciled!

Lipa went over to the Dayan while the Dayan was sitting in his seat on an  airplane and the Dayan looked alarmed at first , but then when they met during Maariv, the Dayan shook his hand warmly and greeted him. 

Shmeltzer decided that it was also time to straighten things out and asked to speak with the Dayan in private and the Dayan immediately agreed.

Lipa told Rabbi Eisenberg about the hardships he had experienced in recent years, and the Dayan told him, 

"And throw throw them into the depths of the sea," meaning that everything has been forgiven . 

"The rabbi told me that he forgave me and he asked me to forgive him too, and I asked him to say it again and told him that I forgave him 100 %!

Naturi Karta guy gave candy to A Frum IDF Soldier!

In a time when we hear every few days about an ultra-Orthodox attack on an ultra-Orthodox soldier, it is encouraging to hear a story in the opposite direction. 

An ultra-Orthodox Chassid who belonged to Neturei Karta, sat next to an ultra-Orthodox soldier, not only did he not attack him, but praised his contribution and even gave him a Bamba snack as a token of appreciation.

This  soldier rides every day on the bus from an ultra-Orthodox area in Beit Shemesh, and is used to being stared at by the hostile extremists living close to him, and sometimes they even make small demonstrations against him while he waits at the station.

"I got on a bus in uniform," says R. Cohen to  "Kikar Ha'Shabbat"  "and at one of the stations, the man who looked like one of the Naturi Karta sat down next to me and looked at me , I was surprised at all that he was sitting next to me," and "To smile at me - it was strange ..." 

When the ultra-Orthodox soldier went down at the regular station  he noticed that he was following him.

"He approached me," R. continues to describe. "And he said to me, 'You are doing very well  with your service in the army for the sake of Klal Yisroel.'" He asked me where I was serving and even gave me a snack at the Turbo Bamba.I've never tasted such a snack before"

"It's clear to me that he deliberately tried to change the image of the extremists," says R. Cohen. The ultra-Orthodox soldier concludes by saying, "Congratulations to him!"

Poland's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich Panders to the Poileshe Murderers And Demands Israel Apologize

Tuhes Lekker Shudrich Addressing a bunch of Yentes 

The leaders of Poland’s Jewish community on Monday expressed anger and said they were offended by the words of newly appointed acting Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who quoted the late prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, saying that Poles “suckle anti-Semitism with their mothers’ milk.”

Michael Schudrich, Poland’s chief rabbi, and Monika Krawczyk, chair of the board of the Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Poland, wrote in a letter that Katz’s words harmed them as Jews who live in Poland.

“It is a fact that some Poles participated either actively or passively in murderous acts by Nazis against the Jews, but we remember also that the Polish government did not collaborate officially with the Third Reich,” Schudrich and Krawczyk wrote.

Ashdod Rabbi Makes Appeal For Funds To Free Alleged Pedophile Malka Leifer Who Is Accused Of Sexually Abusing 20 Children

So guys tell me .....What does this monster have over so many people that keep supporting her....

MK Litzman will probably resign soon because he allegedly forced State Psychiatrists to declare her "insane."

And now a prominent Rav in Ashdod is collecting money ...

A Chareide rabbi in Ashdod sent out an appeal to residents over the weekend, asking them to provide donations for the legal defense of alleged sexual predator Malka Leifer, who is currently in an Israeli prison, facing extradition.

The letter written by Yosef Direnfeld on Thursday was distributed in synagogues throughout the southern city, but carefully avoided identifying Leifer by name in addition to the accusations against the 51-year-old, who currently faces 74 charges of sex abuse in Australia, where she allegedly molested some 20 students while serving as principal of an ultra-Orthodox girls school in Melbourne.

“A personal and emotional request of all the generous people,” the letter begins. “An important woman, the daughter of the great and the righteous… has been imprisoned for a long time under harsh and cruel conditions… for the purpose of extraditing her to a gentile state.”

“In order to save her, we need specialized lawyers whose costs amount to large sums,” Direnfeld writes.

Direnputz

In a recording of a phone call obtained by the Kan public broadcaster, a resident of the town is heard asking the rabbi for additional details regarding the request. However, Direnfeld says he cannot speak about the matter over the phone and requests that the man meet with him personally.

Did A Relative Murder the Frum Yehuda & Tamar Kaduri in Jerusalem in January

Two people were brought by police to a remand hearing Tuesday as part of the investigation into a double homicide in the capital last month, amid investigators’ growing belief that the killing was not a terror attack but rather had a criminal motive.

The bodies of Yehuda Kaduri, 71, and his wife Tamar, 68, were found January 13 in their apartment in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of southern Jerusalem, with signs of violence, including stab wounds, in an apparent double homicide.

Most details of the case are still under gag order. Police initially looked into both terrorist and criminal motives for the attack.

In early February, police appeared to hit a dead end in their search for the killer when a Jerusalem court ordered the release of the sole suspect held in the case, a Palestinian man who worked in the area.

But in recent days, the investigation appears to have taken a new turn, with police questioning people who knew the Kaduris, including employees at Yehuda Kaduri’s accounting firm, as well as family members.

Christians Say: 'Ilhan Omar is waging an unholy war against the Jewish people'

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations has launched a nationwide campaign to demand Ilhan Omar’s immediate resignation from Congress over her recent anti-Semitic tirades. 

Cardoza-Moore who serves as a United Nations Special Envoy for the World Council of Independent Christian Churches (WCICC) which represents over 44 million congregants worldwide and whose “Focus On Israel” television program reaches a global audience of over a billion, has begun a petition to increase pressure upon Omar to stand down.

“Ilhan Omar is waging an unholy war against the Jewish people from Congress. She is about to learn that the Jewish people don’t stand alone, millions of people of faith and conscience stand with the Jewish people. We will neither sleep nor slumber as she uses the heart of American democracy and freedom to defame God’s chosen people and God’s chosen land.” Said Laurie Cardoza-Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN).

Cardoza-Moore continued: “Ilhan Omar tricked her electorate into voting for her by lying about her support for Israel. She supports the destruction of the State of Israel and is a virulent anti-Semite with close connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Zelda Wins Lawsuit Against Frum KIndergarten That Fired Her Because She Lived With a Boyfriend

Zelda 

The Employment Appeal Tribunal upheld its previous ruling that Zelda De Groen had been the victim of discrimination and harassment by the kindergarten because she was a woman.

Zelda de Groen sued the Gan Menachem Nursery in Hendon after losing her job in July 2016. She had worked there for four years.

De Groen grew up in a Charedi Orthodox home in Stamford Hill in London, but left “after many years of significant discontent.” She moved in with her boyfriend in April 2016.

Dumb "Poileshe" Prime Minister Wants Israel to Rewrite History and Say That Poland Didn't Murder Jews in the Holocaust!

Those damn Polish Bastards past a law that prohibits Poles from ever saying that they collaborated with the Nazis ..
They not only collaborated but murdered Jews after the war, when Jews tried to return to their homes ...
The Poles were Hitler's Willing Executioners, may they all go to hell!

And what gets me...are the crazy Jews running with their tongues hanging out to Lezensk and other Jewish blood soaked cities!!.....

Poland has pulled out of this week’s Visegrad Group (V4) summit in Jerusalem, as diplomatic tensions between Israel and Poland continue to worsen.

Karnei Shomron Schools Had Enough Of Arab Workers and Fires All of Them!

A school in a West Bank settlement recently fired its Israeli Arab cleaning staff after parents threatened to shut down the school if the workers remained employed.

Parents in the settlement of Karnei Shomron appealed last week to the head of the local council, Yigal Lahav, and threatened to shutter the school until all Arab cleaners were removed, the Ynet news site reported.

The threats materialized into a one-day strike, during which 40 children were absent from school.

According to Ynet, one parent wrote in a WhatsApp group: “Unfortunately, Israeli Arabs have justifiably acquired a lack of trust toward them.”

“Yes, we are racists,” another parent wrote. “The lives of our children come first, we are racists and we love the Jewish race.”

"In Honor of Shabbat" 

As an introduction we must first explain some basics:

"d'mai" ....... during the Second Temple era, it became apparent to the rabbis, that a significant minority of amei ratzim (basically observant Jews, but ignorant) had become lax in the separation of various required tithes...and we suspect them of lying ...

Accordingly, the rabbis decreed that the produce of an am haaretz be considered דמאי "d'mai" meaning literally "What is this?" In other words, we question if this produce had been tithed? Since we don't know for certain, one may not it eat unless one tithes it.

The Talmud on this daf states that one may not eat produce bought from an am haaretz during the week until you tithe...

The Tannah Rebi Shimon Shezuri, argues and states:

"That one may ask this am haaretz, whether he separated the required tithes, and if he says that he did, one can take him at his word and eat the produce."

On Shabbat, however, even the rabbis agree that one can take the am haaretz on his word and eat the produce if the am haaretz say that he tithed .....

Why?

Because of "Shabbat" ... and on the Shabbat, even an am haaretz wouldn't lie! 

Something to think about!

The Greatest Scandal in the History of America Remains Hidden

Andrew McCabe is a national disgrace. He was part of the most corrupt and most partisan leadership team in FBI history and was fired for being dishonest under oath.

And yet, America owes him a big thank-you.

McCabe, you see, has reminded us once again that there really is a powerful deep state, and that there has not been a full accounting of rampant FBI misconduct during the presidential campaign of 2016.

There is also still too much we don’t know about the role top aides to then-President Barack Obama and higher-ups in the Justice Department played in spying on the Trump campaign and leaks of classified information for partisan purposes.

In short, what is arguably the greatest scandal in the history of America remains mostly hidden from the public. That shroud of secrecy piles one scandal on top of another.

Liberal Politicians Scammed NYC out of Amazon’s HQ2 and Ruined it for Everyone

On Valentine’s Day, Amazon broke hearts all over New York City, dumping us like a boyfriend with cold feet. The loss is incalculable.

Gone, apparently for good, is the promise of not only more than 25,000 new highly skilled and well-paying jobs, at least a chunk of them for women and minorities, but all the goodies that go along with them.

With the withdrawal from its proposed campus in Long Island City, the company has snatched away potentially tens of billions in tax revenue, soaring interest in local real estate, plus new stores, restaurants and guaranteed employment for everyone from babysitters to dog-walkers.

Nice going.

It’s official. New York is not only freakishly hostile to business, but suspicious to a suicidal degree of billionaires who own things, the very people who bring employment to our midst. With their “Take these jobs and shove it” attitude, New York’s sanctimonious, progressive politicians and assorted naysayers should be proud of themselves.

But what about the rest of us?

Democratic City Council member Jimmy Van Bramer took part in an unseemly “victory press conference” Thursday, one with little support from ordinary Joes and Janes who badly wanted to work for the company, only to see their hopes demolished.

Newbie US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, self-described democratic socialist, reacted to the exit news not with somber reflection or the announcement of new jobs-creating initiatives — but with an insulting Twitter celebration.

Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world,” she tweeted.

She failed to explain how she intends to pay for her signature initiatives, a basket of gifts, including free health care, free college, and the total elimination of carbon emissions, as contained in her Green New Deal — a draft proposal of which bemoaned the likely inability to rid the nation quickly of airplanes and “farting cows.”

Long Island City’s Democratic state Sen. Mike Gianaris, the deputy majority leader — a former Amazon enthusiast — has taken to endlessly deriding the company with the Twitter hashtag “#Scamazon.” He joined anti-Amazon activists at a ridiculous rally in Queens Saturday, where he said, “We’ve learned over the last year that Amazon is not a responsible company. They want to take $3 billion from us. We’re trying to stop it.”

Well, he did. Thanks a lot.

Every politician who expended oxygen or computer keystrokes to run out what would have been a gigantic boon to the city is guilty of “political malpractice,” as Gov. Andrew Cuomo said about Gianaris.

Every one of these bozos should pay for this incredible loss with their jobs, come Election Day. Or sooner.

As recent polls demonstrate, a majority of New Yorkers were all in for Amazon. We know better than these out-of-touch politicos what’s good for us. No professional activist will feed our families.

While Amazon’s kiss-off of the city may well serve us right, I am not alone in bemoaning this development. Not only have we been stripped of a great opportunity for real employment growth and related monetary benefits, the fleeing of Amazon will reverberate for years to come.

The officers of other corporations considering setting up shop in the city will realize they’d rather stick pins in their eyes than tangle with New York’s loathsome political class.

Most any municipality in the nation would eagerly grab the $27.5 billion tax windfall to be paid over 25 years, for the cost of just shy of $3 billion in taxes and subsidies over the same period. These are the numbers touted by Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio, who fought for this deal, and they’ve not been debunked.

As the company fades away, shame should fall squarely on the shoulders of all the people responsible, most of whom have never even met their constituents. The entire city will live to regret their boneheaded moves.

United Throws Off Elderly Rosh Yeshivah & His Rebbitzen Because She Wanted Some Reading Material From Overhead Bin!

A Rosh Yeshivah and his wife were forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight in what they claim was a completely baseless and unsubstantiated accusation by a crew manager.

The couple, who are in their mid-70s, boarded a flight at Newark Airport headed to Amsterdam, from which they had planned to continue to Eretz Yisrael for the wedding of a grandson. Upon entering the cabin, the Rebbetzin approached the cabin manager, known as a “purser,” to ask if she could store her sheitel box in an onboard closet, as she had done on many other flights. The request was denied by the purser, whose first name was “Juan.” He replied that there was no room and that the item had to be placed in the overhead bin.

About 20 minutes before the scheduled takeoff time, the purser approached the Rebbetzin and asked that she stow away a different carry-on item in the overhead compartment. When she asked for a moment to remove a few pieces of reading material, the purser abruptly said, “I’m going to get you off this flight.”

The couple were shaken, but did not take the threat seriously, and spoke with a different crew manager who was very apologetic for the purser’s behavior and who dealt politely with the couple.

However, it seems that, as they were speaking, the purser went to the captain and requested that he call the police to remove the couple from the plane. Moments later, several police officers appeared together with Juan, who said that the Rebbetzin had been “nasty,” and that they would have to leave the plane, as he was concerned she would be disruptive during the flight.

If, indeed, the captain is the one who called the authorities, which is the usual protocol, the couple said that he did so without surveying the scene himself or leaving the cockpit.

The Rosh Yeshivah, who has been a marbitz Torah in the New York area for most of his life, told Hamodia that the surrounding passengers were “shocked” by the scene, but none uttered a word about the unfolding situation. The couple were the only visibly Orthodox passengers on the plane.

Left with no choice, the couple left the aircraft. Upon registering their complaint to United Airlines staff, they were told that the airline would release neither the name of the pilot nor the last name of the purser. They were offered various options for rebooking, but as they were not comfortable landing on a Friday, they opted to fly Motzoei Shabbos and miss the aufruf they had planned to attend.

The Rosh Yeshivah attested that while his wife had indeed asked for another moment to remove magazines from her bag to read during the flight, she had not in the least been “nasty,” as the purser claimed. He was convinced that the treatment they received was motivated by anti-Semitism.

Incidents of seemingly discriminatory treatment of Orthodox Jews on airlines have become increasingly common over the past year.

A spokeswoman for United Airlines told Hamodia that the couple had not complied with “several requests … to stow their belongings in the overhead bin,” and that as a result “we notified our customer service staff and escorted them off the aircraft.”

“United does not tolerate discrimination, and we are continuing to review what happened with the Newark team,” added the spokeswoman.

The Rosh Yeshivah said that he intends to pursue a lawsuit against the airline.

“I think I am within my rights to say that this was an open case of anti-Semitism and the arrogance of a manager who needed to show that no one would tell him what to do,” he said. “I guess Hakadosh Baruch Hu didn’t want us to make it to the aufruf, but what United did is not something that can go without a response.”

You Think You Have It Bad .... Listen to the Amish Life This Girl Left Behind!

ISRAELI DOGS THAT CAN DETECT CANCER

Somewhere in Southern Israel, a first-of-its-kind venture trains dogs to locate early signs of cancer.

The name of the laboratory is "Dog Prognose". It allows a person to send a saliva sample (in a small plastic container), and receive an immediate answer as to whether they have cancer. The cost of the test is NIS 399, just a little over $100.

Uri Bakeman, professional dog trainer and owner of the laboratory, told Army Radio that "the most important issue is that this test detects the disease at its earliest stage, since the dogs can identify the characteristic signs of the smell of the disease. If the dog sits down after sniffing the sample, it means it is suspicious."

In a recent study conducted by Prof. Pesach Schwartzman of Ben-Gurion University, it was determined that various types of cancer share an odor that dogs are capable of identifying.

A famous case involved Daisy, a dog who managed to correctly identify 500 cases of cancer, and smell a total of 6,500 samples. Daisy, who worked for "Medical Detection Dogs"- a foundation in the UK - passed away last year.

Daisy was a pioneer in sniffing out cancer cells in breath and urine samples, and even detected her owner's breast cancer in its early stages.

LITZMAN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR USING POWERS TO PREVENT EXTRADITION of ACCUSED SEXUAL PERVERT LEIFER!

Deputy Minister of Health MK Ya'acov Litzman was questioned Thursday at the National Fraud Investigation Unit in Lahav on suspicion of committing offenses of integrity, following a covert investigation that began several months ago. 
The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office and with the approval of the Attorney General.

Litzman is suspected of obstructing legal proceedings by working to obtain false papers in order to prevent the extradition of Malka Leifer, an ultra-Orthodox pedophile who was arrested in Israel in February 2018. Victorian police fought to bring Leifer back to Australia to face 74 charges of child sexual abuse.

According to reports, Litzman tried to obtain medical opinions that would prevent her extradition. 

His office said that he was "summoned to the police today for an affair related to a public request for help, and he gave his full testimony and answered all the questions as required.”

Benny Ganz Names Chareidie Female Lawyer Omer Yankelevichto His List For The Knesset

Attorney Omer Yankelevich, married, the mother of five, belongs to the Anglo-Saxon Charedi community in Beit Shemesh, and was named Omer because she was born on Lag Be'Omer!

Omer is a graduate of the Wolf Seminary in Bnei Brak and Gateshead, England. After her marriage, she studied teaching and educational activities, and later went on to study law. She holds a master's degree in law as an outstanding dean, and has been practicing law since 2007.

It was Benny Gantz, who made the decision "out of a desire to compile a list containing the mosaic of Israeli society." 

Although it is doubtful whether the move will bring ultra-Orthodox voters to Israel's strength. Ganz will try to prove in his integration that his list is not left but center-right, suitable for both Frum and Not-Frum alike. 

Her friends tell of a courageous, valiant and exceptionally talented woman who is proud of her views and faith: "She sees herself as subject to the Torah, and has received the approval and blessing of rabbis."

"She will do a lot of Kiddush Hashem in the Knesset and respect the Charedi public," 

 "She has rare abilities to act and connect, and this is not a woman who will confront and criticize the ultra-Orthodox public, but on the contrary, she will bring connections, benefit and serve as a bridge for cooperation.
