Lori Gilbert Kaye Murdered on Pesach in San Diego Chabad Shul

Open Letter from a friend of Lori a"h

Today an anti-Semitic hate crime shot and killed my friend Lori Gilbert Kaye z”l at synagogue. 

Lori you were a jewel of our community a true Eshet Chayil, a Woman of Valor.  You were always running to do a mitzvah (good deed) and gave tzedaka (charity) to everyone. Your final good deed was taking the bullets for Rabbi Mendel Goldstein to save his life.

Lori leaves behind a devastated husband and a 22-year-old daughter. When I heard the horrific news, Lori I called your best friend Dr. Roneet Lev who is at the hospital with the other victims and their families who asked this to be shared.

 Friends please share this widely - 

Today at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue on Shabbat and the last day of the Passover holiday, a 19-year-old stormed in and said ‘F*ck the Jews’ and opened fire with an AR-type assault weapon. The hateful murderer had posted a manifesto online with anti-Semitic screeds and talked about planning the attack! He shot and killed Lori Kaye z”l who took the bullets for the Rabbi. Tragically the Rabbi was still shot in the hand and he gave a sermon telling everyone to stay strong. 

The horror continues, the other victims suffering shrapnel injuries include a 8-year-old girl, Noya Dahan. She asked for her picture to be shared and for everyone to know she is strong. 

Noya Dahan

The other shrapnel victim was Almog Peretz, age 32, Noya’s uncle who came from Sderot to visit his family for the Passover holiday. He was a hero today, gathering the children and leading them to safety. During the shooting a brave off-duty border patrol agent chased and fired at the shooter as he ran off. Fortunately he was caught by the authorities and is in custody. 

Noya’s family moved to San Diego from the Israeli city of Sderot (San Diego’s sister city) to get away from the terrorism and the constant attacks on their community.  The peaceful city in Israel they’re from is in the Negev and is less than a mile from the Gaza border. For years their home has been a major target of Qassam rocket attacks from terrorists in the Gaza Strip.  

Anti-Semitism is real and is deadly. Hate crimes are real and are deadly. Lori would have wanted all of us to stand up to hate. She was a warrior of love and she will be missed. May Lori’s memory be a blessing. 

Please pray for recovery of the Rabbi Goldstein, Almog and Noya. 

Please share this! Loris family want this to be a huge funeral to honor her and to stand against Anti-Semitism, I will post details about it as soon as I know.

New York Times Shows Its Vicious Hatred of Jews In Cartoon

As Jews around the world prepared for the last days of the Passover Chag, the New York Times international print edition (available in countries including Israel), published this cartoon

A blind US President Donald Trump wearing a Jewish skullcap being led by a canine caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was drawn by Portuguese cartoonist Antonio Moreira Antunes, of the Lisbon weekly paper, Expresso. According to the Daily Mail, Expresso deleted the cartoon from its site without an explanation or apology.

The image of Israel leading the US draws upon a classic antisemitic trope of Jewish power and control.

The newspaper that makes a virtue out of promoting anti-racism, minority rights and giving a platform to every possible liberal or progressive cause appears to have no boundaries when it comes to offending Jews.

 The New York Times has belatedly recognized its disgraceful editorial failure if this tweet is to be believed:

How do such ‘errors of judgment’ occur in the first place?

The image is so blatantly offensive, it’s hard to believe that editors at the New York Times international edition failed to see it before the damage was done.

And the damage has been done. The New York Times can issue its Editors’ Note in a future edition but this image has already been seared in the memories of an international audience that had the misfortune to pick up a copy of the paper that day.

Just when we think the New York Times couldn’t stoop any lower.

Chassidim"Invade" Jersey Beaches And Residents Are Livid!

A New Jersey mayor is facing mounting backlash for telling a constituent to call the cops on Jewish people for going to the beach.

Brick Township Mayor John G. Ducey was responding to a flat-out anti-Semitic tweet by user @simms10471 Tuesday night asking:

“Can we please do something about our parks and beaches. They are being invaded by the hasidic and orthodox jews and being ruined.”

“Our tax paying residents are being forced out while politicians sit and do nothing,” the user added.

Instead of condemning the tweet, Ducey, a Democrat, responded: “Just call police with any problems and they will send them out.”

After major backlash from other Twitter users throughout Tuesday night and into Wednesday, Ducey tried to back-peddle.

"Bernie Sanders Is A Shmuck" ..... Jackie Mason

Jewish funnyman Jackie Mason took US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to task Sunday for recent comments the Vermont senator made about Israel.

Speaking in an interview with Aaron Klein Investigative Radio, set to air Sunday on New York's AM 970 The Answer and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia, Mason took umbrage with Sanders' contention that Israel had used "disproportionate" force during Operation Protective Edge in summer 2014, and with his inflation of the death toll in Gaza during the conflict.

"Here’s a Jew from Brooklyn who never even saw a gentile till he was 28. Obviously, this man has a very, very big sickness. There’s something about being Jewish that makes him self-conscious and nervous. And he has to prove to himself and to the country that he doesn’t favor Israel in any way," Mason said.

Mason, a staunch Israel supporter, claimed that Sanders is "so determined that he’ll tell any lie about Israel that he can think of to say to you: 

‘Do you see that? This is proof that I don’t pay for Israel. The fact that I want every Israeli to drop dead for me to prove a point doesn’t matter. If they all get wiped out, it’s not my business.  The main thing is that I’m not favoring Israel.’"

The comic joked that for Sanders, who spent time on a kibbutz in Israel as a young man, climate change is a bigger issue than the Jewish state's security.

"A schmuck like Bernie Sanders pops out who doesn’t even know what’s going on and doesn’t care. Because to him Israel getting wiped out is no problem. Climate change is the only problem. To him, the most important thing in the world is climate change. If Israel gave up their country but they fought for climate change, he would love Israel. In ten minutes, they would be his favorite country."

Professor Dershowitz and Rabbi Boteach Slug It Out!

Ouch!!!!!!!

Open letter from Prof Dershowitz to Boteach!

Shmuley Boteach — who falsely brags of being “America’s rabbi” because he has no congregation of his own — continues to recycle old lies about a trip I took to Qatar more than a year ago. I have disproved all of his lies, so why does he persist in his “lashon hara” — evil words? 

Perhaps to cover up his own hypocrisy. 

He has condemned every Jewish leader who traveled to Qatar in an effort to improve relationships between that important Sunni Gulf state and Israel. Yet, according to published reports, Boteach himself begged to be invited to travel to Qatar to meet the emir. The Forward has reported that Qatar “nixed Boteach from a list of prospective visitors,” finding him not credible. It also concluded that he lacked “a significant following or constituency” (“America’s rabbi”?). Finally, and understandably, they felt he could not “be trusted to keep sensitive information to himself.” According to a source quoted by the Forward, “Boteach had demanded a six figure fee for the proposed visit.”

Did Archaeologists Purposely Erase and Damage 53 Biblical Figures So That the Bilble Wouldn't Be Proven True?

Do archaeologists purposely erase any mention of the Biblical figures from ancient artifacts that they find?? If not who did it?

Read the following:

Currently the tally stands at 53, according to Prof. Lawrence Mykytiuk’s stringent analyses (this is the number just for individuals mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament). Mykytiuk’s list has an additional 13.
Here is just a sample ....

Isaiah

The Isaiah artifact bulla can be seen pretty clearly. There is a general consideration that this artifact did actually belong to the biblical prophet. But because of a broken letter, debate has raged among members of the scholarly community, and thus some degree of doubt still hangs over this artifact. And so here, it illustrates the semantic difficulties nicely.

All the evidence is there. The bulla (seal stamp) was found in a controlled scientific excavation. It dates to exactly the same period as the biblical prophet. It belonged to a high-ranking official, as was the prophet. It was found in a royal quarter of Jerusalem, where the biblical prophet lived and worked. It was found right alongside a bulla belonging to King Hezekiah himself, whom the prophet worked with closely, as evidenced in the Bible; the king and prophet are mentioned together in 16 different verses. 

The title on the bulla clearly reads 
Belonging to Isaiah.
 It was merely the final word—actually, just one letter of the final word—that has generated so much scholarly debate as to whether or not we can be absolutely sure it belonged to the prophet. 

The final preserved word is Nvy.
The Hebrew word for “prophet” is Nvy’ (both pronounced the same). The place where the final symbol was expected had been damaged by a 2,700-year old fingerprint.

Hence the debate—over one little letter. Without this letter (aleph), some of the more skeptical scholars argue, the word Nvy could just be a family name or a location.

But as Dr. Eilat Mazar (the archaeologist who uncovered it) keeps coming back to, what are the chances that this is just another “Isaiah”? 

Given all of the above, the wider context, that fits so perfectly—given that the word “prophet” is all there, minus one letter

All the evidence points to this being the Prophet Isaiah. 
Still, due to the tiniest bit of damage over one single letter,
 the curse of doubt has been introduced. And to the scholarly 
world, the tiniest speck of doubt makes even the unreasonable reasonable. Cue the flurry of articles, as certain skeptics jump 
on the “not so fast” bandwagon—typically ignoring the context and instead focusing on semantics regarding the missing letter.

Yet regarding that final letter, a close reexamination of the bulla appears to show a partially preserved aleph after all—thus completing the word prophet.

Chareidie "Jews" hurl stones at Frum soldier in Jerusalem, nearly Kill baby nearby!

A group of fake frum Chareidim heckled and threw stones at an IDF soldier walking through the Mea Shearim neighborhood in Jerusalem on Wednesday.

One of the stones nearly hit a father who was holding his six-month old daughter. Footage from the scene showed the father — with his baby still in his arms — yelling at the mob as they continued to hiss at the soldier. The child’s mother then appeared to scream at them as well, before the two of them walk away in disgust. See Video below!

Time to draft them all..... let them serve in the army!!

Police were dispatched to the scene and said that officers managed to scatter the crowd and safely evacuate the soldier, who was unharmed in the incident.

“The Israel Police will work with all the means at its disposal in order to identify those who took part in verbal or physical attacks on uniformed men and bring them to justice,” police said in a statement.

The IDF said it condemned the incident and viewed it “very seriously.” On Sunday, ultra-Orthodox extremists in the same neighborhood hung an effigy of an IDF soldier, which was taken down by Border Police hours later. Many in the ultra-Orthodox community shun the mandatory military service that applies to most Israelis, and the community has historically enjoyed blanket exemptions from the army in favor of religious seminary studies. 

A court deadline to finalize a law regulating the draft is looming, and many ultra-Orthodox view the latest proposal on the issue as the best possible deal for their community, also warning that rejecting it will lead to chaos and mass conscription.

"Let My People Stay" . Orlando Pesach Fiasco

People don't learn ever..... I should be the last guy to talk... I have been to Pesach programs that everything that can go bad ..went  bad ... sometimes really bad!

So here we go again .... from "cheirus to Avdus" 
with the guests having to cook for themselves and others!

A Pesach program in Orlando, Fla., which attracted many guests from the New York area, descended into chaos this week after the owner of the program, Ben Atkin, failed to pay at least $75,000 for goods and services provided by the resort, workers and vendors, according to the program’s remaining staff.

Described as “a five-star hotel program without the hotel” on its website, the “A Different Pesach Program” has turned out to be quite different, indeed, from the rewarding experience promised. It offered rental of private villas with shared common areas such as a synagogue tent and clubhouse, and provisions for kosher seders and meals throughout the eight-day holiday.

It is believed that about 65 families were staying in the resort-operated gated community in Atkin’s program.

Muslim Maniacs Murder 300 Christians in Sri Lanka but Media Doesn't Mention That Attackers Were Muslim and that the Victims Were Christians!

The Face of Evil!

Reports identified the suicide bomber and mastermind behind the attack on Christians  as Islamic extremist Moulvi Zahran Hashim. An imam, he was a prolific lecturer for National Tawheed Jamaath. 
As Hashim’s name began disseminating on social media, journalists on the left, like Al Jazeera journalist Saif Khalid, pushed back against the reports, accusing the press of being “Islamophobic” for reporting his name.

The National Tawheed Jamaath imam has a history of racism and Islamic superiority. 

In July 2017, for example, Sri Lanka press reported that the organization’s leaders were being prosecuted for making derogatory remarks in a video against Buddha and hurting the sentiments of the Sinhala-Buddhist community in the country. 

Hashim has likewise posted several YouTube videos during which he preaches comments that could be considered incitement. 

“For years, the faithful man spread his incitement without being banned,” he describes on his video. In another one, he says: “What can Sri Lankan Muslims do for Dr. Zakir Naik?” Naik is the president of the Islamic Research Foundation in India and is considered to preach incitement and support terrorism.

Harav Ezriel Tauber, zt”l Passes On At 79

Rav Tauber, a Holocaust survivor, was a renowned speaker and maggid shiur who inspired thousands over the course of his lifetime through his shiurim and writing.

Drawing on his vast knowledge, treasure of personal stories and experience, Rav Tauber electrified audiences around the world.

Rav Tauber was the driving force behind several institutions dedicated to the dissemination of Torah values and ideals. In 1979, Rav Tauber together with a group of lay leaders purchased land in Monsey, NY, to serve as the home of Yeshiva Ohr Somayach, just one of the institutions where his impact was felt. He also founded Shalhevet, an organization aimed at spreading Torah and hashkafah to the masses.

Levayah details will be posted once they are finalized.

Donald Trump Trumps His Enemies ....

Good God, free at last, free at last.

Donald Trump is now free to be president without the cloud that hovered over him since his election. No president ever faced, let alone survived, a probe as fierce and determined as this one.

Cleared of false charges that threatened to end his presidency, Trump can be forgiven for gloating and rubbing a little salt into the wounds of his tormentors with a jab about serving another “10 to 14 years.”

Naturally, the hysterics are hysterical over that one. They can’t even take a joke.

Yet Trump’s great victory is not his alone. The release of the special counsel report marks a day of freedom for all of America and sends shock waves around the world.

As Attorney General William Barr said, the finding by special counsel Robert Mueller that nobody in the United States knowingly helped Russia interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign “is something that all Americans can and should be grateful to have confirmed.”

Take that, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Deal with it, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler. You should be celebrating the outcome, not denouncing it.

''The Business of Selling Animal Parts"

A butcher just had his animal slaughtered and is busy selling the parts of the animal.

A customer approaches him and buys the insides of the animals for a specified amount.

The customer comes home and realizes that the butcher included the abomasum which he then gifts to a kohein as per halacha.

He now wants the butcher to return the value of the abomasum which he couldn't and didn't use.

The talmud on this daf rules that the butcher owes him nothing..... since the butcher knew that the abomasum belongs to the kohein, we assume that when he sold all the insides of the animal for the agreed price, the butcher didn't charge for the abomasum.

''Grapes That Were Grabbed"

There was this incident in a small town in the Galill where a vintner was cultivating grapes in his vineyard. 

One nice day, Roman soldiers came and confiscated dozens of boxes filled with grapes.

He came to the Rabbis to inquire whether he was required to tithe from the stolen grapes!

The Rabbis answers that it depends ...

if they just confiscated the grapes for no valid reason, then he was exempt from separating Teruma and Maasrois....

if however, they confiscated the grapes as payment for back taxes that the vintner hadn't paid, then he would have to tithe from the confiscated grapes.

Four Jewish Democrat Cowards warn Israel not to annex West Bank territory

The American YudenRAT consists of four Arab-Loving Jewish TuchisLekkers, Eliot Engel, Nita Lowey, Ted Deutch and Brad Schneider.

In the space of 48 hours last week, four Jewish "Capo" Democrats in Congress denounced Israel’s prime minister, two more Democrats wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post denouncing Israel’s prime minister, and 10 Jewish liberal groups issued a statement denouncing Israel’s prime minister. 

What a remarkable coincidence!

The allegedly spontaneous three-pronged media assault began with Representatives Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), on the op-ed page of The Washington Post on April 10, absurdly accusing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of “sanctioning violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories.” The phrase “sanctioning violence” linked to an article in The New York Times that presumably proved that charge.

''Tuma Contracted via Ohel"

From all the different halachos that we learned about tuma and tehara (laws of contamination & purity) only the laws of being contaminated by a corpse apply today, therefore only a kohein has to be aware of his surroundings to make sure that he avoids contracting tuma via a corpse, the rest of us are in the state of tuma all the time, being that we do not have a Bais Ha'mikdash and have no way to have a Para Adumah, which is the catalyst of purifying all of us. 

So even-though a kohein is as tuma as the rest of us, he still has to avoid either touching or being under the same roof as a corpse.

There are 3 different ways that a kohein can contract tuma via a tent..... "tumas ohel"

1. If a kohein should cover a corpse like a tent....

2. If the corpse is above the kohein.....covering him as a tent

3. if the kohein and the corpse are under one roof.

Israeli "Meshulach" Infects 38 People With Measles in Detroit!

A man traveling the country to fund-raise for charity in Orthodox Jewish communities is responsible for 38 cases of measles in Michigan after driving from Brooklyn to Detroit for a business trip full of community meetings.

The Israeli traveler, dubbed 'Michigan's Patient Zero' by the Washington Post, arrived in New York in November, when the measles outbreak was starting to take hold in Brooklyn, and he stayed until March.

It took Michigan authorities a week to realize he might be the source - by which time, the Post reported, he had interacted with 'hundreds of people', visiting synagogue three times a day, kosher markets, and staying in people's homes. 

The man, who had gone to a doctor with a fever, cough and rash when he first arrived in Detroit but was given the all-clear, was 'devastated' when he realized he was the source of a fresh outbreak, Michigan health authorities said.  

On the night that he set off for his overnight drive from New York to Michigan, the man, who has not been identified, had a fever and a heavy cough - two classic symptoms of measles - so he went straight to a doctor when he arrived, the Post reported.

His concerns were dismissed. The doctor gave him antibiotics for bronchitis.

AOC the antisemite Latina Rep calls PM Netanyahu an evil Trump-like figure and suggests cutting US investment into Israel’s military

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, calling him “a Trump-like figure.” 

In an interview to the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast, she added that Netanyahu’s re-election is a part of “the ascent of authoritarianism across the world.”

Asked if she believes that Netanyahu’s talk about annexing parts of the West Bank should affect the US policy towards Israel, the congresswoman responded: “I think so,” and said that “conversations are happening in our caucus.”

She also gave a surprising answer to the question if she’d support a move to cut military or economic aid to Israel when answered: “I think it’s certainly on the table.”
