The Begiining of the End For Barak Who vows to sue Daily Mail for ‘sordid insinuations’ over his ties to Epstein

Former prime minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday said he would sue the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper for defamation after it published pictures of him entering Jeffrey Epstein’s New York residence in January 2016, around the same time several young women tied to the financier also came by.

The Mail heavily insinuated that Barak’s visit to his business partner was not strictly business-related.

The photos published by the paper were not new, and were originally published in 2016 under the title: “The busy life of Jeffrey Epstein: Group of gorgeous Manhattan ‘it’ girls in and out of the billionaire sex offender’s mansion before Clinton pal flies off in private jet with comely brunette.”

Barak was included among the photos, but only as “an unidentified man” who entered the home accompanied by a bodyguard.

When Moshiach Comes ... Will Rebbes Connect With Their Chassidim? ..What About Previous Generations? Who Will They Connect With?

 Rabbi Noam Wagner, says that even though ,,,,when Moshiach comes,  all Tanaim, Amorim, Rashi, The Baal Shem, etc etc will be resurrected, nevertheless Moshiach's  generation will basically ignore them and flock to their present rebbe .... 
And what he is hinting at is ... that Lubavitcher Chassidim will only connect with the previous Rebbe ....... 

The Real Story Behind the Tragic Death of Rabbi Bauman in Norfolk VA

How the Israeli Press Covered the Story!

Teveryeh's Mayor That Started a "Chillul Shabbos" Campaign ... Ousted ... Couldn't Pass a budget!

There was a new "sheriff" in the town of Teveryah, who was elected as Mayor a few months ago in the last election.

His whole campaign was to turn the Holy City of Teveryah into a "Chilonie City" like Tel Aviv, with full blown "Chillul Shabbos."

The only glitch he had, and he totally forgot about that ... ...... was "G-d!"

The rule in Israel is that when a Mayor in a town gets elected, he has to put together a coalition and pass a budget....

If he can't, then the entire office of the Mayor and its staff collapses and the "Misrad Hapnim" the Interior Minister, can either call new elections or appoint temporarily a new crew!

Last night, G-d .... the force that the Mayor totally forget about ... had him voted out because he "couldn't pass a budget" and he will now look for another job!

He is in court fighting his ouster but he is barking up the wrong tree... he should save his money and send it to DIN!

At any rate ...

I almost forgot my point of this posting ....

and B"H, I remembered ...

How did it come that a Holy City like Teveryah would get enough votes to vote in a "Chilonie" who hates Frum people and who openly ran on a platform to "secularize Teveryeh"?

Guess what???? You sitting??

I'm not talking about the mishagayim" who don't vote at all ... because "the Torah forbids voting in Zionist elections."

I'm talking about "normal" frum people who vote ..

Well, the  frumies themselves were fighting like cats and dogs ...

"askanim"  put up multiple people for Mayor and other top posts and so not one frum guy had enough votes, and  because of the "infighting"  they split the vote and so it happened that this "frum hating" guy got voted in ....

They are lucky that this time, G-d intervened and made sure that this Chilonie Mayor got ousted ....

But in the future if they still don't have "achdus" ....... 

who knows what will happen!

''An Ancestral Field and an Acquired Field "

"Sedeh Achuza," an ancestral field, refers to a field in Eretz Yisroel whose owners inherited the land from generations of direct ancestors dating back to the days of Yehoshuah Bin Nun who apportioned Eretz Yisroel among the Shvatim, the tribes.

The term "Sedeh Achuza" comes from the word "acheeza" or "holding," because it refers to land that belonged to or was held by a family that was granted the land in perpetuity.

Even if such land is sold, it returns to the ownership of the seller during the Yovel, the Jubilee.

"Sedeh Mik'neh," an acquired field, is a field purchased from a family who owned a Sadeh Achuza.

A "Sedeh Mik'neh" would only belong to the individuals who acquired it,until the Yovel, at which point ownership of the field would revert back to its initial owners.

Shmuly Yanklowitz Whose Mother Was A Shiksa ...Says "Intermarriage is Not a Second Holocaust!"

This Yanklowitz character calls himself an "orthodox rabbi," but is part of the "Choveive Torah" gang that tries to integrate into the "frum" communities to destroy them from within. and Choveive Torah gave him his "smicha." 

Don't get fooled by his "heimishe" name ...."Shmuly Yanklowitz, .... his mother is a devout Christian, and he supposedly had a frum conversion but no one knows who converted him....in his article, below, he admits exposing his Jewish Children to Christianity stating:

"my children continue to be enriched through diverse exposure to my family’s quilt of different faiths. Rather than shun interfaith families, let’s celebrate the unique contributions they bring to Jewish life,"

To give an idea how far this guy is from being a frum rabbi, he was named by the "frum hating" Forward as one of the 50 most influential Jews of 2016 ...  
 and The Daily Beast in 2012 listed Yanklowitz as one of the 50 most influential rabbis in America .....You can be sure that the Daily Beast didn't list the Noveminsker or the Matisdorfer Rav as part of the  50 rabbis...

Recently the Education Minister in Israel, Rafi Peretz made a comment that "intermarriage in the US" is like a "Second Holocaust.".... 

It's probably worse since even according to Bnei Brit, a reform oriented organization, the rate of assimilation in the US is over 86%.

At any rate, this statement hit a nerve with Shmuly, and he wrote an article attacking Peretz in The Times of Israel.

Here is his article ..

Body Of Rabbi Reuven Bauman Has Been Found By Misaskim Boat

 The body of Rav Reuven Bauman Z”L who heroically jumped into the ocean to save a student, has been found. He was located at around 1:00PM by a boat of volunteers from Misaskim of Maryland searching off the coast of North Carolina, and positively identified by authorities. The family was notified moments ago of the sad news.

The tragic story united Klal Yisroel, as Jews around the globe Davened, gave Tzedakah, and learned – first for a miracle of finding him alive, and then for the miracle of locating his body so he can be brought to proper Kevuras Yisroel.

 Dozens of volunteers traveled hundreds of miles to search all day Sunday, with boats, jet skies, and helicopters.

Yossi Margareten, Coordinator of Chaveirim of Rockland along with the members of the Achiezer Organization had been coordinating the search, and worked tirelessly all day and night since Rabbi Bauman was swept out to sea last Tuesday.

The Virginia Beach Police and Virginia Beach Fire Department had searched continuously since he had gone missing, and were assisted by the U.S. Coast Guard last week for two days.

Among the organizations that assisted in the search were Achiezer, Rockland Chaveirim,  Misaskim of Maryland, Baltimore Shomrim, Hatzolah Air, Lakewood Chaveirim, Misaskim of Greater Washington, NY Hatzolah, COMSAR and others.

Hundreds of civilian assisted from Norfolk, Savana Georgia and other communities.

Rabbi Bauman, 35-years-old, was at the beach at False Cape State Park last Tuesday with around 20 campers from a local day camp when a 13-year-old student was caught in a sudden rip current. 

Rabbi Bauman immediately entered the water to save the boy who was able to make it out of the water. Unfortunately, Rabbi Bauman was swept out to sea and has not been seen since.

Rabbi Reuven Bauman is a Rebbi at Yeshiva Toras Chaim in Norfolk Virginia.

He leaves behind a wife and 5 children.

Rabbis from Elad ....All Dogs are Bad and their owners Accursed

More than a dozen rabbis from the city of Elad near Tel Aviv issued an edict declaring all dogs bad and warning residents that keeping them will make them accursed.

The edict, dated to June 14, contains the signatures of all the Sephardic rabbis in Elad and the city’s chief rabbi, Mordechai Malka, the news site Bhol reported Friday. Most of Elad's approximately 46,000 residents are Charedi.

“We have heard and have seen that lately, a serious phenomenon has spread in our city Elad, in which young boys and children walk around publicly with dogs. This is strictly forbidden, as explained in the Talmud and by the Rambam, anyone raising a dog is accursed and especially in our city where many women and children are afraid of dogs,” the anti-canine edict states.

The rabbi of neighboring Holon, Avraham Yosef, is quoted as writing: “I do not find any grounds for permitting any dog whatsoever in any manner.”

The term “bad dog” means “any dog, for it barks on whomever it does not know and because of its bark it is a bad dog even if does not bite,” the edit states. 

People who keep dogs for medical needs should appear before the local rabbinical court so it may rule on their matter, the edict says.

The authors’ interpretation of references to dogs in Judaism is strict compared to other readings by Israeli Orthodox chief rabbis.

Rabbi Uziel Elyahu, the chief Orthodox rabbi of the northern municipality of Misgav, in 2002 ruled that keeping guard dogs is allowed, as well as guide dogs and ones kept “to develop a person’s emotions.”

Elad was established in 1998. More than half of its population are below 18.

"If you Are a "Rebbe" who Goes on "Vacation to Switzerland To Bathe in the Mineral Baths .....Don't Give Me Musar About Chodash Ellul!"

How Viznitz Embarrass the Poor

Viznitz has a minhag that when they make a wedding of a child or grandchild they also invite the poor but not in the same hall, G-d forbid!

They invite poor hungry people to eat but then they also invite hundreds of chassidim to surround the poor to watch them gobble at their food!
Then after the poor get their fill, they stand in line, and the rebbe gives each one 100 Shekel.. all while being ogled by hundreds ..

If this some kind of Viznitz minhag ...
they should cut out this sick show ASAP! 

Leftist Bastards Now After the Jewish Bernie Marcus of Home Depot .... Because He Backs Trump

After several Facebook posts this week on the issue, Marcus dropped the hammer on his critics on Wednesday. Here is what he wrote in a new Facebook post:

“I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another great day. I've been celebrating with friends, family and the community since I turned 90. I've told you about the gracious gift of $117 million that was collected and given in my honor to four charities that mean a lot to me. All that happiness blew up because I said in a newspaper interview that I have supported and will continue to support Donald Trump.
Boom!
Negative stories... vicious threats, without cause, to boycott the company that has enabled my foundation to give billions to support autism, medical research, education, heart and neurological issues like stroke, and to help our veterans. The company that I retired from in 2002 and have not had a business relationship with in almost 20 years. A company that has employed more than a half-million people. The people who work there are affiliated with both political parties or no party at all. They are of all religions and all colors and backgrounds. Why would people want to hurt them?
All because I give my voice and some of my money to our President. Am I in China? Argentina? Russia? That's what it feels like to me.
It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings. It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you've got the wrong guy.
In the next ten years, God willing, I will accomplish more to save this world than my critics will do even if they had forty lifetimes.”

We aren’t sure what other 90-year-olds are having a similar week to Marcus’. But, it’s not hard to see what drove his success — he doesn’t take any BS.

Rebbe Reb Ber

Rebbe Reb Ber, all alone with no chassidim in New Hampshire!

It seems bears enjoy a good view just like any other visitor to the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

A photo snapped June 29 by an employee at the Omni Mount Washington Resort shows a black bear holding onto a rail on the veranda and looking out. The photo was taken around 5 a.m. and the employee, Sam Geesaman, said he had only wanted to get a photo of the sunrise.

Instead, he caught the bear as it climbed stairs in search of a trash can. The bear moved on after Gessaman loudly clapped and stomped.

New Hampshire routinely has reports of bears finding their way into homes, campgrounds and even apartment complexes.

Last year, food shortages were blamed for a sharp increase in bear-human conflicts and the highest numbers of bear killings since 2014.

Will Jews leave their homes to come to Israel as a consequence of today’s unprecedented antisemitism?

BY BRENDA KATTEN

This month marks 69 years since the State of Israel passed the “Law of Return,” giving the right to every Jew to come to Israel as an immigrant.

How significant it is that this law emerged in the aftermath of the Holocaust, especially as we came to comprehend that six million Jews were massacred – not only because of Hitler and his barbaric acts, but because of the many countries that barred their gates to Jews trying to escape Europe at a time when it was still possible for them to hope for refuge elsewhere.
 

A Jewish Agency shaliach serving in the United Kingdom in the 1970s spoke words that resonate with me to this day. He told the Aviv (young) section of British WIZO, “We lost six million Jews not simply because of Hitler but also because of the passive collaboration of the free world.” The countries that closed their gates share responsibility for the horrific annihilation of two-thirds of European Jewry.

''A Vow of Valuation "

A needy individual who makes a Neder Arachin, saying:

"Erki alai" "I vow to consecrate .. the sum of my own value" but does not have enough money to pay the sum stipulated in the Torah for one who proclaims this vow, must appear before the kohein to assess his financial situation and determine what sum that individual will have to pay.

However, an individual who makes an "Erki alai" vow was never permitted to pay less than one sela coin. 

Likewise, an individual who makes a Neder Arachin never paid more than 50 sela, which is the maximum specified by the Torah.

Specifically, Struthers-Gardner was carrying a jar-style glass with a screw-top lid that held the straw in place.

R' Reuven Bauman MISSING! Rebbe/Counselor Swept Out To Sea At Virginia Beach

Emergency personnel continued their search as night fell, for a Rebbe (counselor) at a day camp in Norfolk Virginia who was swept out to sea, early Tuesday afternoon.

Tefillos were being recited around the globe for Reuven Tzvi ben Esther Baila who went missing in the water off False Cape State Park Tuesday afternoon.

Emergency dispatchers say they received a call reporting a drowning at the park, located at 4001 Sandpiper Road in Virginia Beach. The caller said two people had been in the water. One was 35 years old. The other was an 11-year-old student.

WVEC reports that the teacher was with a group of 20 students when he saw one of the struggling in the water so he went into help. The student was able to get out, but the teacher has not been located.

The missing person has been named as Rabbi Reuven Bauman. He is a Rebbi at Yeshiva Toras Chaim in Norfolk Virginia.

An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C. and a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew from Coast Guard Station Little Creek are currently searching for the man. Crews from the Virginia Beach Fire Department and the Virginia Marine Police are also assisting with the search.

Emergency personnel from the New York area are mobilizing to head to the area to assist in the search and recovery. A large trained team from “Hatzolah Air” are scheduled to depart NY on Wednesday morning and will assist the search by air, land and sea. 

A team from Rockland Chaveirim are mobilizing as well, including special sonar equipment used to search underwater.

KOSHER SEX IN TEL AVIV

BY SHMULEY BOTEACH

 Last week, The Jerusalem Post ran a story on my daughter Chana, who recently opened the world’s first Kosher Sex store. 

The first one is in Tel Aviv. She trusts there will be many other actual stores to complement the online sites of Kosher.Sex and SensualRevolution.com, from which the store stems.

The store was opened to coincide with the new 20th anniversary edition of Kosher Sex, the book I published in 1999 that at the time was extremely controversial but has, two decades after its original appearance, gone mainstream.

“I wanted to open a store that is more of a boutique; that promotes sensuality and intimacy between couples in a framework of Jewish values,” my daughter Chana told reporter Hannah Brown, who then asked her whether her father approves of the Tel Aviv and online store.

My daughter answered that I gave the store “my blessing.” I was not aware of the story or its content until it appeared and now that I have read it, I feel I must comment.

Outrage At Associated Press That Targeted Jewish American Who Supports Israel

Simon Falic

Last week, the Associated Press ran a hit job on a successful American businessman. 

Simon Falic and his two brothers own the Duty Free Americas chain, a private company that runs duty free stores in airports throughout the United States and Latin America.

They also happen to be Jewish. Simon Falic in particular is a powerful advocate for Jewish causes worldwide and for the State of Israel.

Through their family foundation, Simon Falic and his wife donate to dozens of organizations in Israel. The causes they support run the gamut from medical research to Jewish education. They support synagogue construction and refurbishment; archaeological excavations and preservation of archaeological sites; battered women’s shelters and day care centers; and the construction of new Jewish communities in Israel.

AP’s hit piece centers on Falic’s charitable work.

The title of the article gave the game away. It read, “U.S. duty free owners give millions to settlements.”

The obvious question is: so what? 

There is nothing even vaguely illegal about Falic’s charitable undertakings. And indeed, the article doesn’t accuse him of committing or facilitating any crime.

Jews Upset Because Some "Shvartzah" Florida School Principal Says He Cannot Take A Position On The Holocaust

A "Shvartzah" high school principal in Boca Raton, Florida told a parent that inquired about the school’s educational plan for teaching the Holocaust that “Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened.”

Spanish River Community High School principal William Latson in an email in April 2018 first told the parent, that “the curriculum is to be introduced but not forced upon individuals as we all have the same rights but not all the same beliefs.”

The exchange of emails was first reported by the Palm Beach Post, which obtained the emails through a public records request.

When the parent, who is not named in the report to protect the identity of her child, asked the principal to clarify his remarks, telling him that the Holocaust is a “factual, historical event,” he doubled down saying: “you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.” He said that as a school district employee he cannot take a position on the Holocaust.

The school with about 2,500 students is said to have one of the county’s largest Jewish student populations in the county, according to the report.

In a statement to The Post, Latson, who has been principal since 2011, apologized, saying his email “did not accurately reflect my professional and personal commitment to educating all students about the atrocities of the Holocaust.”

The school’s educational offerings on the Holocaust exceed the state’s requirements, according to Latson, though not all of the offerings actually take place in the classroom. The parent proposed a change, adopted this school year, which has every 10th grader read “Night” by Elie Wiesel.

Latson was not disciplined for his emails.

3,000 Year-Old Town Where Dovid Ha'Melech Hid From Shaul Found

Researchers from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Israel Antiquities Authority and Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, believe they have discovered the Philistine town near Kiryat Gat, immortalized in the Biblical narrative.

Ziklag is mentioned multiple times in the Bible in relation to David (in 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel).

 According to the Biblical narrative, Achish, King of Gat, allowed David to find refuge in Ziklag while fleeing King Saul and from there David also departed to be anointed King in Hebron. 

According to scripture, Ziklag was also the scene of a dramatic event, in which the Amalekites, desert nomads, raided and burned the town taking women and children captive.

Chaim Binyomin Biegeleisen 11-year-old Dies After Being Hit in "Hit And Run" in Yerushalyim

An 11-year-old boy who was severely hurt in a hit-and-run in Jerusalem in April succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, the hospital said.

Chaim Binyamin Biegeleisen was struck by a car in the Ramot neighborhood in north Jerusalem on the Passover holiday.

The suspected driver, Netanel Sandrusi, 23, fled the scene and turned himself in a week later, following a manhunt. The abandoned car was found hours after the accident near a West Bank settlement adjacent to the city.

Sandrusi, a Jerusalem resident, turned himself in to authorities, but has maintained his innocence and initially said he didn’t know police were looking for him since he is religious and isn’t exposed to “secular media.”

He was charged with the fatal accident, while a passenger in the car, Meir Gamliel, stands accused of taking the wheel after the collision and fleeing the scene.

Ehud Barak Preaches Satmar’s ‘Three Oaths’ Line Against Zionism

Score this one in favor of the argument that the extremists on either side of any debate are bound to meet sooner or later. 

We’ve gotten used to extreme anti-Zionists such as Neturei Karta collaborating with the worst anti-Semites in Tehran, but we did not expect the former IDF chief of staff, former prime minister and former defense minister Ehud Barak to start citing the traditional Satmar anti-Zionist line. 

Well, he did, on Sunday morning, and it’s not clear at this point whether or not he had been to either of the Rabbis Teitelbaums’ tish on Shabbat.

Here is what Barak said verbatim on Reshet Bet radio Sunday morning, on the occasion of announcing the official name of his new party (Democratic Israel), starts around min. 5:

“The extreme right has diverted the ship of Israel to directions against which the Talmud has already warned us, about two catastrophes that have happened in history as a result of such a policy of false messianism, which pushes to usher in the end, and tries to dictate to God Almighty a schedule of when to send the Messiah; which storm the wall and provokes world powers and sows baseless hatred. These three Talmudic prohibitions are transgressed every day by people wearing kippot and priding themselves on their title of rabbis, but in fact, they falsify and distort Judaism, Zionism and Israelism.”

Holy red heifer.
